Peyton Manning is enjoying his fifth year of retirement following an illustrious 18-year career in the NFL, but ESPN is reportedly hoping to bring him into the broadcast booth.

According to a report from John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, ESPN "has reached out to" the five-time MVP and two-time Super Bowl Champion about an analyst gig for Monday Night Football.

ESPN has offered Manning an analyst role before, only to be turned down. Given his hilarious personality and deep knowledge of the game, it's no surprise that ESPN is pushing hard for Manning.

But ESPN isn't the only network giant that has made a strong push for "The Sheriff." Citing sources, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that CBS gave Manning a five or six-year offer "believed to be in the range of $10 million to $12 million" annually.

Manning didn't give CBS a fast enough answer, so they opted to extend Tony Romo for 10 years worth $180 million, per Marchand. Romo just completed a three-year deal with CBS, and he'll continue to work the network's lead play-by-play man Jim Nantz.

The Monday Night Football broadcast booth has undergone drastic changes over the past four years alone. Play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico left for NBC after the 2015 season, and Sean McDonough was brought in to replace him. However, the latter spent just two seasons on Monday Night Football before going back to calling college games.

After the 2017 season, Jon Gruden left the MNF broadcast booth to return to coaching, accepting a 10-year deal worth $100 million from the Raiders. Joe Tessitore was moved into the play-by-play role, and ESPN brought in former Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten and Booger McFarland as their new analysts for the 2018 season, but the former returned to football in 2019.

It sounds like ESPN is keen on making yet another drastic change to its MNF broadcasting team. Whether they succeed in getting Manning once and for all remains to be seen, but they're not going down without trying.
