In early August, ESPN announced that it was acquiring the NFL Network. The deal hasn’t been completed yet because it has to be approved by the government, which just means talent at the NFL Network remains in limbo.
Nobody knows how ESPN will use people who work at NFL Network, which shows will remain, which shows will go or how those folks will be incorporated into ESPN. ESPN has said it intends to keep the NFL Network as a separate channel, but, again, nothing is official.
