Agent Denies Mike Tirico Has Signed Blockbuster NBC Extension As Rumors Swirl

This report was co-authored by Bobby Burack and Ryan Glasspiegel.

Rumors have been swirling in sports media circles in recent weeks that Mike Tirico has inked a blockbuster extension with NBC, with one source telling Outkick numbers reached as high as 10 years for $100 million. Not so, says Tirico's agent Sandy Montag.

“Mike is under his original contract with NBC Sports and hopes to be there for a long time,” Montag tells Outkick in a statement. He declined to answer follow-up questions such as whether an extension is not technically signed but imminent. An NBC official also vehemently denied the numbers we were told.

Nonetheless, the Peacock network clearly has a high degree of confidence that Tirico will be the long-term successor to Al Michaels on Sunday Night Football. Trade talks in which ESPN sought to bring Michaels back to Monday Night Football were a complete non-starter.
