<![CDATA[How Joe Thomas helped the Browns from the sidelines]]> I admire Thomas hugely. I hope he plays at least one more year, hope he stays with the Browns long term - offensive line coach eventually...?

http://work.chron.com/average-salaries-professional-sports-announcers-3350.html

Salary

The average salary of professional spectator sports announcers was $79,050 in May 2010, making it the highest paying industry for radio and television announcers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal reported in January 2012 that of hundreds of on-air broadcasters, the four highest paid -- Bob Costas and Al Michaels at NBC, Joe Buck at Fox and Jim Nantz at CBS -- earned about $5 million per year.

Networks Work

Network broadcasters earn the most. At about $3 million per year, Chris Berman and Mike Tirico at ESPN come after the four highest-paid sports announcers cited previously, according to Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. The newspaper reported that the top 10 game analysts would probably be next in a ranking of pay, based on interviews with agents. Second-tier play-by-play announcers would follow.

Contributing Factors

A professional sports announcer’s popularity affects his salary, as could how long he has worked for the broadcaster and when he signed his contract, according to Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. For NFL announcers, a top pregame show analyst and a network’s No. 1 game analyst could draw between $500,000 and $2 million a year, the magazine reported. Medium also matters. Announcers earned an average salary of $57,980 in television and $35,820 in radio in May 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

2016 Salary Information for Announcers

Announcers earned a median annual salary of $30,860 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, announcers earned a 25th percentile salary of $21,320, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $50,780, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 52,700 people were employed in the U.S. as announcers........CONTINUED IN LINK.......

Certainly has the ability, but I think he's going the broadcast route.
