Yeah I don't get shelling out that much money for a TV analyst. Are that many more people going to watch because of Brady, Romo, Aikman, etc. to make these contracts worth it?
Absolutely baffling to me. Ive seen nothing from Brady that tells me he's gonna be some lights out, A+++ analyst. I would have said it was ridiculous for Manning in the same position, and he showed far more potential for it than Brady. We saw how Brees struggled.The other shocking side story was Jim Rome getting $30MM a year from CBS Sports. I mean, I know his radio show/podcast is very successful, but that is a HUGE chunk of change for someone that a lot of knowledgeable sports fans don't realize is still relevant.
This is anecdotal and a sample of 1, but if I’m torn between 2 games, I’d maybe choose the one with Romo because of his style. Granted that would be a tiebreaker below which one impacts my fantasy matchup more.
It seems exorbitant, and perhaps I'm wrong to trust that any of these people know what they're doing, but I would guess that the accountants over at FOX, CBS and ESPN have a pretty good idea what kind of revenue their NFL broadcasts will generate and how much more they can ask for an ad buy from a game with Brady, Romo and Aikman attached.They may be projecting wrongly, but I don't think they're spending money for the sake of spending it. They have reason to believe these guys will boost revenues.
I think the networks will try to leverage the presence of these guys into increases in pricing for advertisers...they have to do something to make up for cratering ratings across their non-live-sports programming and this is as good a try as any. As someone familiar with the buyer's side of the desk, I don't think it will work in the sense that ratings will be higher, but they may be able to leverage an incremental percentage point or two pricing increase vs year prior. Analysts aren't gonna drive incremental viewership but they might make one network's inventory more attractive than anothers.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheetThe #Raiders are actually working out FA QB Colin Kaepernick today, source said. His first workout in years.
I could be mistaken, but didn't Kaepernick in the past say he wasn't interested in being a backup? If so, he's not supplanting Carr so not sure why the Raiders. If he has changed his mind on this, then good for him and I hope he does well in the work/tryout
