Report: Stephen A. Smith nearing raise that would make him ESPN's highest paid talent
FOX NEWS - Stephen A. Smith is one of the biggest stars at ESPN -- and he's reportedly about to get paid like it.
Smith is closing in on a big raise that would have him get paid about $10 million annually, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
The "First Take" star, who still has two years left on his current deal, could see a bump of somewhere between $8 million and $10 million, sources told the newspaper.
In addition to his work on the morning sports talk show, Smith hosts his own syndicated radio program, "The Stephen A. Smith Show." He has also previously expressed interests in other fields outside the realm of sports.
