The newscaster recently signed a new contract in 2016 of May for the role of MNF lead announcer, and his salary increased as well on that deal. It is unsure how much to be exact but with the highest-paid anchor of ESPN is a few million he is likely to get the same or less.

The reporter’s agent, Sandy Montag also reportedly made it clear that the decision from moving to ESPN show Monda Night Football to its college team was on a mutual decision. Sandy always thinks that Sean's brand is college sports, and its something where he belongs.

Is Sean McDonough Married or Single?
Sean is a man who is mostly quiet about his personal life. Mainly a workaholic and more interested in the game of sports than the game of romance. Though he does not have a fan page and a social network of his own, he has not to comment on any rumors about him, dating a girlfriend at the moment. He is also not married or is there any records of him having a wife in any wiki sources that are reliable enough.
The news anchor is likely too focused on his career on being a lead announcer on ESPN to be dating anyone at the moment. He may be gay, but without his official statement, we cannot be sure about anything. His one and true love is his passion for sportscasting and may not be interested in physical human contact at the moment.
