The clock is ticking down on Josh Elliott's contract negotiations with Good Morning America.
With just four weeks to go, the news anchor's agents are reportedly still millions of dollars apart as they try to finalize a deal to keep him at the morning desk along with Robin Roberts, George Stephanapoulos and Lara Spencer.
"He wants $8 million, while ABC is offering $4 million," a source told the New York Post.

"ABC wants Josh to stay. He is a very talented broadcaster, but $8 million is too much. He isn't bigger than GMA," the source said.
Elliott is also in talks with NBC for a role that would have him covering both news and sports, an attractive option for the reporter who started at Sports Illustrated and ESPN.
