Amazon Extends Herbstreit Deal

Kirk Herbstreit Agrees to Thursday Night Football Contract Extension With Amazon

Amazon Prime Video has extended its contract with Kirk Herbstreit as its NFL game analyst on "Thursday Night Football." The extension allows Amazon to move on if Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay becomes available. Herbstreits, who never played in the NFL and rose to prominence on ESPN’s college football coverage, is in the final season of his initial five-year deal with Prime Video. His new deal is shorter than his initial contract, though the exact length was not confirmed. ESPN's current stance is not to address Herbstreitt's contract situation until after the college football season. The top NFL announcer booths are again in flux, with Tony Romo on indefinite leave from CBS following his July OWI arrest.
