Troy Aikman has been brought on to call football games by Disney, and now the Worldwide Leader wants to add his play-by-play partner as well.
According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Joe Buck is on the wish list to pair with Aikman. Aikman signed a five-year deal worth $90 million per season.
Buck has one year left on his contract, which pays him $11 million a year. According to Marchand, Fox wants to keep him and has to allow him to talk to him because he is under contract.
Buck and Aikman have been calling games together. They were part of a three-man team with Collinsworth.
Marchand says they will look toward Al Michaels if they can't land Buck, but they wouldn't have to worry about chemistry issues in the booth with those two having worked together for so long.
There is an unusual amount of movement on the broadcasting side this year, especially with Amazon getting the exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football. We will find out how it all shakes down in the future, but Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays could look different in a few years.
