Sean McVay’s Insane Amazon Offer For Thursday Night Football Revealed

Sean McVay really must love coaching football.

The recently Super Bowl-winning coach Sean McVay said he’s staying with the Los Angeles Rams, but by doing so he’s going to leave a ton of money on the table.

Per Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Amazon was prepared to make McVay a $100 million man. Or more specifically, Amazon intended to offer McVay at least in the neighborhood of $100 million with a five-year contract.

Amazon is trying to make a big splash for a color analyst for its upcoming Thursday Night Football broadcasts.

McVay says no to TV. He and Amazon were going to meet next week, and Amazon may have gone as high as five years and $100M, according to sources. Rams, obviously, have stepped up with a raise from his reported $8.5M. … On to the next one …. https://t.co/lcRtFjtWcr

McVay told ESPN on Friday that he has no intentions of leaving the Rams, and instead will be seeking a repeat.

“McVay had interest from Amazon and Fox. With Amazon, McVay could have potentially teamed with Al Michaels, who is on the 1 yard line to becoming Amazon’s lead play-by-player on its ‘Thursday Night Football’ telecasts,” Marchand wrote. “Michaels has wanted to know who his analysts would be, but now Troy Aikman, John Lynch and McVay have all said no.”

So Amazon is out of luck when it comes to McVay, and they just saved themselves a lot of money, relatively speaking.

There’s no doubt McVay will one day be in a booth talking about football, but for now he’ll be roaming the sidelines.
