With Tom Brady Earning $375 Million From Fox Deal, How Much Do Eli and Peyton Manning Earn From Their ESPN Broadcast Deal?

Tom Brady is about to make a major career shift in the upcoming years. He will join FOX Sports as an analyst after his playing career is over. With the GOAT of the NFL getting a substantial amount of money; how lucrative are the Manningcast hosts Peyton and Eli Manning’s deal with the ESPN?

Tom Brady is among the famed athletes like Pat McAfee, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, and the Manning Brothers to make such a move. As of now, all of them have become the most popular sports media personalities in the NFL. McAfee also made his way in the pro-wrestling circuit, as he is a part of SmackDown’s Commentary table alongside Michael Cole. With Brady’s 22-year experience, it looks like he will be the Next Big Thing in the sports media division. Even though all of the other names are big entities, none have the resume of Tom Brady. Or his popularity.

A Momentous Move for the NFL

When his playing career is over, Tom Brady will be at FOX Sports as the network’s lead NFL analyst. They did not disclose Brady’s contractual terms. However, the New York Post flagged up that the 7-time Super Bowl-winning QB has come to an agreement on a 10-year, $375 million offer. This is perhaps the most financially rewarding contract in the history of sports broadcasting. And befitting to someone of Tom Brady’s stature.

Brady will work as an ambassador for FOX, focusing on “client and promotional initiatives,” alongside lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. With such a pricey deal, Tom Terrific could be on the verge of becoming a billionaire soon.

Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives.

This move comes up after Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, FOX’s top pro-football announcers, relocated to ESPN, and Burkhardt took their place.

How profitable are Eli and Peyton’s deals if compared to Tom Brady?

Even using a moderate calculation, the Manning bros can indeed make at least $12 million a season, as per Sportscasting. If they pay Troy Aikman’s salary, slated at $18.5 million, the Manningcast would then cost roughly $16 million per year with the new agreement. The actual contract details haven’t been revealed yet. A safe estimation would still say that their deals should not exceed Brady’s mammoth deal. How do they about negotiations in the future, remains to be seen.

Besides ESPN’s traditional Monday Night Football broadcast, it will highlight a 10-game yearly lineup of substitute creations. Omaha Productions will collaborate with ESPN to generate innovative UFC, college football, and golf presentations with other broadcasters in terms of the agreement.

This summer, ESPN has Buck, and Aikman set to start every week. Even Peyton and Eli Manning are available for 10 Monday nights annually. If Brady enters the booth, however, the intensity of broadcasting rivalry will undoubtedly become much more intense. This might be Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning in the kiosk this time.
