Stephen A. Smith, a prominent figure on ESPN, has signed a new five-year, $100 million contract with the network. Known for his role on “First Take” and his ability to debate sports topics, Smith will continue to have influence at ESPN. While he may be stepping back from his role on the NBA pregame show, he will have more opportunities to discuss topics outside of sports. Smith has expanded his scope to include politics and has even been suggested as a possible presidential candidate in 2028, although he has downplayed the idea. Overall, Smith’s new contract solidifies his position as one of ESPN’s most recognizable personalities and gives him more freedom to explore a wider range of topics on the air.
