Peyton Manning reportedly not interested

One of the biggest jobs in broadcasting is currently available. Earlier this offseason, Jason Witten left his position as an analyst on "Monday Night Football," deciding instead to return to the Dallas Cowboys for one more season. ESPN has been searching for his replacement, and apparently, we can cro s one of the highest-profile names off the list of potential Felipe Vazquez Jersey candidates.According to a report from Michael McCarthy of the Sporting News, legendary Colts and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is not interested, and "barring a miracle" will not take Witten's place. ESPN held out hope that Manning would fill the hole left by Jason Witten's return to the Cowboys. Chris Stratton Jersey But barring a miracle, sources said, Manning will not be in the booth when "Monday Night Football" kicks off its historic 50th season, with a Texans-Saints/Broncos-Raiders doubleheader on Sept. 9.During their last round of talks, Manning pa sed on joining Joe Te sitore, Booger McFarland and Lisa Salters in the "Monday Night Football" booth. Chad Kuhl Jersey Instead, the two-time Super Bowl champion opted to host ESPN's new five-part, 30-episode series, "Peyton's Places," debuting on ESPN+ in July.Manning also reportedly , which led to the creation of a three-man booth featuring Witten alongside play-by-play announcer Joe Te sitore and former defensive lineman Booger McFarland. The crew was constantly criticized during its debut season, with Witten in particular coming under fire for perceived on-air mistakes. It is unknown whether ESPN is searching for a replacement for Witten Dave Parker Jersey or a replacement for both Witten and McFarland. McCarthy speculates that McFarland could be given a more prominent Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey role in the broadcast, given that ESPN expanded his role in its draft coverage this year, but also notes that Louis Riddick and/or Rex Ryan could be moved into the booth as well. Whatever the case, it looks like we will not be seeing Manning on TV anytime soon.
