NFL analyst Chris Simms has suggested that Peyton Manning should be considered as the replacement for Troy Aikman on Monday Night Football, rather than Greg Olsen.
Simms made the comments on October 28, 2026, during a discussion about potential successors to Aikman in the ESPN broadcast booth.
While Olsen has been viewed as a leading candidate due to his broadcasting work with Fox Sports, Simms argued that Manning's extensive playing experience and football knowledge would make him a stronger fit.
