ESPN’s $10m deal for Manning

PEYTON MANNING could receive $10 million annually to replace Jon Gruden at ESPN if he’s willing to become the network’s lead NFL analyst.

Manning (above) has a similar offer from FOX. Gruden left the ESPN ‘Monday Night Football’ booth for a $10-million-a-year head coach contract with the Oakland Raiders. That contract is reportedly a 10-year, $100 million pact.

FOX would use Manning as the voice of ‘Thursday Night Football’, after the network won the bidding for the weeknight game in the off-season.

Manning has not commented on his desire to become a broadcaster.
