How Much Are NFL Announcers Paid to Talk About Happenings on the Field?

Not to say that the NFL announcers are always on top of their game. When the game is boring, they tend to just drone on and on about what players to watch and give play-by-play of what’s happening. But when the game is fun they add a much-needed boost of excitement and provide context for historic moments. Some of the most bombastic, charismatic announcers become synonymous with the game itself, such as John Madden, the face and namesake of the Madden NFL game series and former coach of Superbowl Champion Oakland Raiders.
