Sports Seriously
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky has been a mainstay analyst on ESPN’s NFL coverage in recent years, and he’ll continue to stick around after signing a new deal with the sports media giant.
Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported Tuesday that Orlovsky and ESPN came to terms on a new deal. The news comes months after Orlovsky had hinted at an uncertain future with the company.
In an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, the talk show hosted by Stephen A. Smith, at the end of the NFL season, Orlovsky said: “You guys know this is the end of the season for me … I’m taking a break. Won’t be on TV for a long time,” he said.
“Just wanted to say thank you to you guys – Stephen A. [Smith], Molly [Qerim], Shannon [Sharpe] – for a great season. Love being with you guys and love y’all.
“Never know what the future holds, but I’m taking a break … just want to say thank you. Appreciate you guys so much.”
Orlovsky had appeared on ESPN programming in the time since making those comments, but he was still in negotiating talks with both ESPN and CBS. The latter media company wanted to poach the 41-year-old analyst for their Big Ten football coverage, according to Marchand.
Instead, Orlovsky will remain with ESPN for an eighth year – and perhaps more – after initially joining its team of NFL coverage and analysis in 2018. That means he’ll continue to appear on ESPN’s “NFL Live” show with Mina Kimes, Marcus Spears, Laura Rutledge and others. Orlovsky will also remain a part of the network’s second team for “Monday Night Football” broadcasts with Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick Jr.
