Retirement, returning to the Rams, or a career in broadcasting are all on the table for McVay. NBC Sports’ Peter King is as plugged into the league as anyone in the business. King detailed McVay’s potential broadcasting career in Monday’s edition of his Football Morning in America column.
According to King, Sean McVay is in such high demand by networks that he could earn more than $15 million per year.
There’s a lot of information to unpack in that statement. The most notable part was King putting his take out there that McVay isn’t retiring. King’s comparison of Tony Romo’s broadcasting salary to Sean McVay’s coaching salary was also a good point.
While McVay may not retire yet, it sounds like he’ll have an incredible opportunity waiting for him whenever he is ready to walk away from coaching.
Sean McVay seems poised to return to the Rams in 2022, but retirement may not be far off
While rumors over Sean McVay potentially retiring are still circulating, it seems less likely that he will follow through with that. McVay has said no when asked if he’s walking away, and his girlfriend has also shut down those rumors.
At the Rams’ Super Bowl parade last week, McVay encouraged Aaron Donald to return in 2022 rather than retire. It’s an unlikely move for a coach who’s planning to retire behind closed doors.
With Donald, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and many others set to return, it would be a surprise if McVay didn’t attempt to defend his Super Bowl trophy.
That said, crazier things have happened in sports. It’d be hard to blame McVay if he took a massive pay bump and a lighter schedule to switch careers after going out on top.
