Amazon’s presumed top choice for its No. 1 NFL analyst appears to be heading elsewhere, as Troy Aikman will reportedly sign with ESPN.
Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported on Wednesday night that Aikman is on the verge of signing a Tony Romo-like contract at ESPN.
Romo, the former Cowboys quarterback, signed a 10-year, $180 million contract with CBS. Aikman could reportedly be getting similar money.
While Aikman is reportedly out for Amazon, another big NFL name is reportedly in play.

However, money talks, and it’s possible Amazon’s offer will be big enough to get him to consider a career change.
It’s shaping up to be a fascinating offseason in the broadcasting world.
