Carter negotiating new ESPN deal
(March 11, 2011) Cris Carter and ESPN are in negotiations for a contract extension to keep the TV analyst in his chair on Sunday NFL Countdown next NFL season if there is a next season.
Carter's agent confirmed his client's contract is up and that the two sides are talking about a new deal. "ESPN has extended an offer for Cris to continue on NFL Countdown, and we are currently in negotiations," said Maury Gostfrand of Vision Sports Group. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said: "After every season, we take a look at all roles and opportunities for the next season. We're in the process of doing that now." If negotiations don't work out, that could open up a high-profile slot on the NFL pregame show next to Chris Berman, Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter. ESPN could move up one of its rising analysts such as Marcellus Wiley, Trent Dilfer or Antonio Pierce. Or hire new talent from the outside. Brett Favre? Read more at
