Al Michaels won't complain if Prime Video wants to move on

Al Michaels, the iconic NFL play-by-play voice who has defined generations of football broadcasts, remains philosophical about his future with Thursday Night Football on Prime Video. Now in his fifth season with the network, the 81-year-old broadcaster—who has spent over four decades calling NFL games—acknowledged that his time in the booth may eventually come to an end.

Speaking on *The Dan Patrick Show*, Michaels suggested the decision would likely come from either his employers or his own self-awareness, framing it as a natural progression after a storied career. Prime Video initially signed him to a three-year deal, later extending it twice on a year-to-year basis, reflecting both his enduring appeal and the network’s commitment to retaining him.

Michaels expressed gratitude for the partnership, noting Amazon’s support, while leaving room for the possibility that he could step away if either side feels the time is right. His tenure with Prime Video has extended his NFL broadcasting legacy beyond his NBC era, giving fans four additional years of his signature calls—an opportunity many consider irreplaceable.
