Think He's the Next (John) Madden' -- Sean McVay Wins Vote of Confidence From NFL Insider as Amazon Stays Silent on Al Michaels' Future

After eight games, the Los Angeles Rams are 4–4, and questions about Sean McVay’s next move are resurfacing—this time with a potential TV path in the spotlight. Media insider Andrew Marchand reported that Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football agreement with analyst Kirk Herbstreit reportedly includes options that could let Amazon move on if a high-profile figure like McVay becomes available. Herbstreit is scheduled for three years under the deal structure, with buyout provisions after the initial term. Meanwhile, Al Michaels’ future is uncertain after Amazon has contacted him in recent offseasons. Marchand outlined a scenario where McVay could earn about $20 million per year at Amazon after a Super Bowl.
