Report: Pat McAfee in talks to contribute to NFL broadcasts

Could Pat McAfee be joining forces with Amazon? A new report suggests it’s a possibility.

McAfee has been in talks with Amazon about potentially contributing to the streaming service’s Thursday Night Football coverage, according to the New York Post’s Ryan Glasspiegel. Glasspiegel added nothing is final, but talks are ongoing.

In addition, the two sides have talked about airing McAfee’s daily show on Amazon Prime. The show currently airs on YouTube and SiriusXM and will for the foreseeable future. McAfee recently signed a huge extension with FanDuel to continue hosting the program.

Prior to Glasspiegel’s report, McAfee tweeted something might be coming down the pipeline. New TNF analyst Kirk Herbstreit also weighed in, adding to the cryptic nature of McAfee’s tweet.

“Let’s all keep it cool but like.. I’m 1000% UP TO SOMETHING,” McAfee tweeted Tuesday.

“Finally comin to GD?!??” Herbstreit retweeted. “Cmon now…it’s time!!!”

On his show earlier this week, McAfee made it clear he didn’t want to be the color analyst alongside Al Michaels despite calls from fans to take the position. Still, a new role could be on the horizon for the former Indianapolis Colts punter.

Amazon could at McAfee to star-studded TNF booth

Michaels and Herbstreit are teaming up to call TNF, which is moving to Amazon starting next season. For Michaels, it ends a long run with NBC calling Sunday Night Football. Herbstreit, meanwhile, will continue his duties for ESPN.

Herbstreit could make “eight figures” while working alongside Al Michaels at Amazon, according to the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand. He’ll continue his work for ESPN on College GameDay and calling games alongside Chris Fowler on Saturdays. He also recently signed a contract extension with ESPN in the wake of his new role with Amazon.

Michaels also reportedly agreed to a “mega-deal,” and the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand had the details.

“Michaels is expected to sign the contract shortly after months and months of negotiations. Michaels will be paid near the Joe Buck neighborhood, according to sources,” revealed Marchand. “Buck signed a five-year, $75 million deal with ESPN to join his longtime partner at Fox, Troy Aikman, on ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football.’
