Al Michaels said he plans to return to the broadcast booth for the 2024 NFL season.
Michaels, 79, told USA Today that he plans to honor his three-year contract with Amazon.
“I feel good,” Michaels told USA Today. “I feel healthy. I feel fine. I told Amazon that I’d do three years and next year will be three, and I’m definitely doing it. We’ll see after that.
“I still love this job. I still get a charge out of going into a stadium and watching the best in the world do what they do. I’m still really happy so that’s the big thing.”
Michaels reportedly earns $1 million per game in an agreement with Amazon that affords him the opportunity to accept assignments from NBC in his “emeritus” label granted when he left at the end of his last contract in 2022.
He did not comment on NBC’s decision to remove him from its NFL playoff coverage.
Michaels has been the voice of primetime NFL coverage since 1986, first on “Monday Night Football” until he took the “Sunday Night Football” job alongside John Madden in 2006. He worked in the SNF role until the end of the 2021 season.
He currently calls Thursday night games streamed on Amazon Prime Video with analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
“Amazon has been really great to me and I’m appreciative that I’ve been a part of helping them grow their NFL presence,” Michaels said.
