Cost-conscious ESPN is unlikely to seek an expensive big name for Monday Night Football

Front Office Report

Before the coronavirus crisis, ESPN was reportedly willing to shell out big bucks for Peyton Manning. But with revenues declining, ESPN is likely to go in-house for Monday Night Football talent, reports Front Office Sports. Meanwhile, ESPN has hired Phil Dean to be Monday Night Football's new producer. He takes over for Jay Rothman, who had been producer of MNF since it moved to ESPN in 2006.
