According to the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand, Al Michaels will be making “Joe Buck money” in his new deal with Amazon.

Earlier in the offseason, it was announced that Buck was leaving Fox to join ESPN on a five-year $75 Million deal.

For now, it’s unclear who will be joining Cris Collinsworth in the NBC booth for Sunday Night Football. But early speculation has tied Tony Romo to the opening.
