NFL Sundays could be getting a lot louder once again.

ESPN is working to expand the role of semi-retired broadcasting legend Chris "Boomer" Berman, sources told Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.

Berman wouldn't return to a full-time role, but it's possible that he could contribute to or even host "SportsCenter" on Sunday nights.

Additionally, the 63-year-old may provide features and interviews to his old stomping ground, "Sunday NFL Countdown," which suffered a 12 percent ratings drop in its first year with Sam Ponder as host.

Berman stepped down from several of his football-related positions at the network in January 2017. His wife, Katherine Ann Berman, died in a car accident in May of the same year.
