#ESPN has fired
#RobertGriffinIII despite having 2 years left in his contract‼️👀
According to NY Times, Griffin went to ESPN, where he was elevated to a highly sought-after position as part of “Monday Night Countdown,” until being replaced by Jason Kelce this offseason. He also served on one of ESPN’s top college game broadcast teams, working with play-by-play announcer Bob Wischusen.
ESPN is entering the end of its fiscal year, where it typically makes these types of decisions. Griffin’s stock had fallen, making him a prime candidate to be let go. While his seven-figure-per-year salary will be honored, his role had diminished to a point where ESPN decided to not keep him on.
He was informed of ESPN’s move on Thursday morning, a source briefed on the decision confirmed.
How do y’all feel about this decision⁉️
