Joe Buck nearing contract extension with ESPN ahead of Super Bowl

Joe Buck is in negotiations for a new contract with ESPN as he prepares to call Super Bowl LXI this season. Currently, Buck earns $15 million annually, and reports suggest he may secure a raise to over $20 million per year. Buck joined ESPN in 2022 from FOX, where he was a top NFL announcer. His longtime partner Troy Aikman, who also joined ESPN, is also set for a contract extension. The network aims to keep both commentators for future Super Bowls, including an eighth in the 2030 season.
