Amazon has been pursuing NBC's Al Michaels for months with the broadcasting legend likely set to cede his Sunday Night Footballย seat to Mike Tirico. Aikman was Amazon's top target to pair with Michaels, putting the retail giant back at square one in its search.
Lynch, 50, comes with the cache of a Hall of Fame playing career and a stellar record thus far running the 49ers. He previously spent several years with Fox as a broadcaster before returning to the NFL in San Francisco.
With the 49ers sitting on a budding Super Bowl contender, it's likely Lynch wants to see his vision out in the Bay before potentially returning to the booth.ย
