ESPN is reportedly considering Peyton Manning as its top choice to replace Troy Aikman in the network's lead NFL broadcast booth, according to a report from Awful Announcing. However, the same report suggests that Greg Olsen is believed to be the most likely candidate to land the role.
Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion and five-time NFL MVP, has been linked to broadcasting roles since his retirement. Olsen, a former tight end who has worked as an analyst for Fox, is seen as a strong fit for the position alongside play-by-play announcer Joe Buck.
ESPN has not officially commented on the speculation. Aikman left ESPN earlier this year to join Amazon's Thursday Night Football coverage.
