Top 5 highest-paid NFL broadcasting contracts of all time ft. Tom Brady

NFL broadcasters have been breaking new barriers recently by receiving mega-contracts to call NFL games. A few years ago, it was unheard of for any broadcaster to exceed ten million dollars per year on their contract, but now all of the top broadcasters in the country make more than that, while some of them have surpassed it by a wide margin.

As the rapidly growing market for elite broadcasters continues to reset itself, all the major networks have been in bidding wars to land some of the top talents in the industry, as well as the next generation of former players and stars to join their commentators in the broadcast booth. Here are the top five largest contracts handed out to NFL broadcasters, ranked by AAV.

Jim Nantz is the lead play-by-play announcer for CBS sports and is featured in many of their major events annually. In addition to calling football games with Tony Romo, Nantz also gets the opportunity to voice The Masters golf tournament and NCAA Final Four basketball tournament.

While the exact details of Nantz's contract have never been made public, multiple reports have stated that it's worth right around $10.5 million per year.

#4 - Joe Buck - $15 million

Joe Buck has been the main voice of FOX sports but is making the switch to ESPN for the 2022 NFL season for $75 million across five years. He will join Troy Aikman in the booth to call the weekly edition of Monday Night Football.

While still with FOX, Buck had the opportunity to announce many major annual events. Some of them include the US Open golf tournament and the MLB World Series.
