Brees offered eight figure salary to do MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ? https://www.si.com/nfl/saints/news/brees-expected-offer-from-espn
SI....Will New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees receive a huge contract from ESPN when he retires from football?
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees and his representatives were "feeling out" television network executives during Super Bowl week in February. The main purpose was for Brees to gauge the level of interest broadcasting networks would have if he retired in 2020. Evidently, that was a smart play by Brees and his management. I wrote on February 2, 2020, that Brees was showing interest in broadcasting after his days in football.
According to OutKicktheCoverage.com, ESPN wants to have Drew Brees as a member of their team in the MNF booth. The network failed in their attempts to lure former NFL QBs Peyton Manning and Tony Romo for ESPN's Monday Night Football. Peyton Manning turned down the offer and CBS signed Tony Romo to a contract worth close to $17M per year and more than $100M total. On March 29, 2020, Clay Travis of the OutKicktheCoverage.com's website tweeted that the deal with Brees could be an eight-figure contract........... continued.........

Are they trying to lure Brees into retirement for this coming year?

I think that is the main idea plus ESPN struck out twice now and want a ringer for MNF.
Do you think MNF is in a bit of trouble ?
.........damn spell check.

Eight figures to not get hit?
Where do I sign?
Doesn't even have to be in Romo territory... $17mm/ year.

I'm guessing that he would be over $17M more like ~$20+M and remember his agents are probably shopping FOX, CBS and maybe NFL NETWORK.
Plus here again he's already a gazillionaire and has almost every record that Tom Brady doesn't have outside of maybe another long shot Super Bowl attempt why risk getting carried off the field ?
I'm like you well except for the 40-something where do I sign up for a multi year right figure salary behind the microphone !
This coronavirus thing might change some players ideas about their immortality and maybe sock a few million away and enjoy a healthy life.

If he were to take that deal and retire, then the Saints would likely be in the market for a QB
Cam.....or Jameis?

They have to do something because Booger McFarland is awful!!
MNF has had a history of being a money losing proposition going all the way back to the later ABC days. I think ESPN who's also had money issues wants a big name or maybe get out of the Monday night slot.
Losing out on Peyton and Romo is two strikes.

Romo...no loss. Dislike him as an announcer. It seems like with every word he needs to clear his throat.
Peyton? Not sure why he declined. After all, what else is he really doing? Making commercials?
In my opinion they need a former coach. Ala John Madden (but NOT John Fox...or Rex Ryan)

I like Romo as well.... I think he does a pretty good job...
I like what he says, from that standpoint he is very good. I just can't listen to that scratchy voice.

I get what ya mean.. His voice to me is actually wet and raspy.... But as far as presenting nuances of the game .. He's excellent... It tells me he's a student of the game much like Kosar..

For my money Romo is the best analyst working today. And he adds just the right amount of irreverence and criticism.
Brees? Certainly at least match for Tony analytically speaking, but strikes me as a little too Pollyannish to speak his mind.

Maybe he is the best analyst....because they won't give Bernie a job. Bernie's insights were even better than Romo's, but apparently the powers that be did not like his Youngstownese accent. (again, I am not critical of Romo's analytical capabilities....just his vocal quality).

No... not better. Maybe the same level, but not better.

Much better , Tour... Bernie see's things before they even happen.. And He's totally on top of it..... Tony is very good... I just think Kosar is a notch or two better... But.. That said... You can't go wrong with either one of them as far as football smarts , goes...

Bernie only ever did like local preseason broadcasts. Just wondering if you have been able to catch his broadcasts there in Texas Hill Country.

during some down time.. i sometimes still go back just to listen to Pat Summerall & John Madden..choice of game, most times did not really matter...they were so great at working off one another's thoughts, instant reactions.. For the life of me, I have no clue how espn thought Booger McFarland or Jason Witten were better hires than hiring ...oh let's just say..Joe Thomas !!... If I could make a announcer trade? I would trade Troy Aikman for Tony Romo...Put Tony Romo with Joe Buck.. thoughts? as it stands
CBS-Jim Nance..Romo
Fox- Joe Buck..Aikman
NBC-Al Michaels..Collinsworth
ESPN-Joe Tessitore..Booger
NFL Network--Joe Buck..Aikman (but London games)
If a announcer trade was doable? who would you team up?
even trading Romo for Collinsworth may be a good change?

Yup... NFL Network's Preseason replays use the local broadcast audio. Years ago it was a half of one team's crew and the other of the other.
Now every game is replayed at least twice so it tends to be one audio on one and one on the other. Now I record a couple of the replays hoping to snag at least one by our guys.
Both Romo and Bernie call the D out and where the QB should look first... etc.
I think Bernie might have had a shot at a color gig, if he hadn't gone overboard that one game dumping in a QB for being garbage... I forget who the hell it was... and it may have been true, but it was mean-spirited. I was embarassed for BK.
