CBS Sports has kept the broadcaster who has becomes its face and sound.
Jim Nantz re-signed with the network Thursday, ending speculation it might need to find another person for its top slot.
Jim Nantz will remain at CBS Sports for many more years. The network’s top announcer signed a new deal to stay at the network for an undisclosed number of years, according to both CBS Sports and Nantz’s agent Sandy Montag.
While CBS Sports and Montag confirmed the deal, both declined to provide specifics about it, including the contract’s length or his new salary. Nantz’s current deal, which is believed to pay him $6.5 million per year, was due to expire this spring.
There had been a major buzz that Nantz was looking for a deal like his NFL analyst, Tony Romo, who signed a 10-year, $175 million contract before last season.
