Tony Romo's time in the CBS booth has been a massive success this season, and it appears ESPN is interested in bringing in a high-profile name of its own to replace Jon Gruden on Monday Night Football.
As the network looks to fill the void left by Gruden when he took the Oakland Raiders head coaching job, one name on the list is Peyton Manning.
"We like Peyton Manning," ESPN executive Stephanie Druley told Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated. "We would be foolish not to talk to him."
Druley also said Manning is aware of ESPN's interest in his services but he has yet to show any interest in taking a broadcast job with the network.
Manning has been a hot commodity for broadcast networks since retiring following the 2015 season, but the career passing yards leader has yet to make the jump to the booth.
Another name being mentioned for the position is current ESPN studio analyst Matt Hasselbeck. The former Seattle Seahawks quarterback has been with the network for a couple of years and will work the Pro Bowl as the color commentator this Sunday.
