Amazon is eyeing ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit to fill its lead analyst job on Thursday Night Football, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports.
Herbstreit's current contract may allow him to continue as an analyst on ESPN's College GameDay while serving in Amazon's TNF booth, sources told Marchand. However, ESPN could dispute that.
Talks between Amazon and Herbstreit are expected to gain steam in the near future.
Amazon was reportedly unsuccessful in grabbing former Fox Sports analyst Troy Aikman, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, and San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch for the analyst role.
TNF is set to be exclusively shown on Amazon starting this season.
