Former NFL star Rob Ninkovich is set to leave his post as an analyst at ESPN as his contract will not be renewed.
Ninkovich moved into television after retiring in 2016 following an 11-year career in the NFL. He joined ESPN in 2019, appearing as a prominent figure throughout the network’s NFL coverage on popular shows such as ’NFL Live’ and ‘Get Up’.
However, ESPN are cutting costs at the moment with plenty of staff members being laid off with more expected to follow. The two-time Super Bowl champion linebacker is simply another big name to fall on the payroll after long-time ‘SportsCenter’ anchor Neil Everett’s contract was not renewed after 23 years with the network.
