Stephen A. Smith is "in line" to become the highest-paid on-air talent in ESPN history, according to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.
Smith's current contract is reportedly worth around $5 million per year. The "First Take" personality and syndicated talk show host could see a raise "in the $8 million-to-$10 million range," according to Marchand.
Mike Greenberg is reportedly ESPN's highest-paid personality and earns an estimated $6.5 million per year. PTI hosts Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser earn salaries, "in Greenberg's neighborhood."
Smith's deal with ESPN is set to expire in 2021. He joined the company in 2005, working as a weekday radio host while writing for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The New York City native is among ESPN's most famous names. He has 3.98 million twitter followers, and is a frequent analyst on the network's NBA coverage. Smith has been a mainstay on First Take for seven years, working with Fox Sports' Skip Bayless from 2012-16.

I mean, he does like 22 shows between radio and TV and makes a ton of appearances on other stuff. Not surprising he's getting money.

SAS is in an entertainment role and does it well, like him or not.
The real insanity is how Mike Greenberg makes $6.5 million per year.

He has to let his wife know when he's withdrawing money from the account.

ESPN overpays a lot of people. Neither Stephen A. Smith or Mike Greenberg are worth that.

Some kind of privilege to get that $$$, for being so shitty.
Yelling Guy privilege?

And yet, people keep listening to and watching him.
He brings page clicks, eyeballs and ears to ESPN. That’s what ESPN wants and what he’s paid for. So yeah, he deserves the money.
