Former New England Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich is leaving ESPN. According to a report by Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports (h/t Dov Kleiman), the 39-year-old will not receive a new contract after his current deal expires this summer.
Ninkovich joined ESPN in 2019 and has been a featured analysis on shows such as SportsCenter, NFL Live, or Get Up. Nonetheless, he will now leave the network as part of a sweeping restructuring process.
Before moving into media, Ninkovich had an 11-year career in the NFL.
