Via Outkick the Coverage:
Tony Romo, whose initial contract with CBS expired with the AFC title game between the Titans and the Chiefs, is poised to become the highest paid game announcer in sports history, with CBS and ESPN dueling to sign him to a contract that is likely to be in the $15 to $20 million a year range.
The 39 year old Romo, who made $127 million as Dallas Cowboys quarterback during the course of his football career, will see his salary skyrocket from $3 million a year to north of $15 million based on CBS having the right to match any offer made by another network.
ESPN is attempting to hire Romo away and the two sides recently passed $15 million a year in bidding.
Some guys just win at everything they do, except in the playoffs. Romo is going to make more than a lot of the guys playing the games he’s broadcasting.
