According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, the mighty Amazon could be the next major suitor in the Peyton Manning media sweepstakes.
If Manning is open to the rumored proposals from Amazon, the salary he’d command is expected to be somewhere in the region of the $18 million per year that Tony Romo currently takes home from CBS.
Purportedly, part of Amazon’s master plan is to be more creative with how it presents the overall package with more emphasis being put on fan interaction.
Just how comfortable Manning would be to give up his relaxed, retired lifestyle is the real rub for Amazon to overcome.
Manning has stayed close to the game via his Peyton’s Places show on ESPN+ and by spending time at the Denver Broncos facilities.
Whether or not Amazon lands Manning will boil down to much more than dollar bills and will likely be determined more by whether the NFL’s only five-time MVP feels ready to make the jump into a more full-time commitment.
