Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has been fired by ESPN after three years with the network, Andrew Marchand reported for The Athletic.
Sunday NFL Countdown host Sam Ponder was also fired from the network in what Marchand described as fiscal year-end "budget moves."
Griffin had two years remaining on his contract. Marchand reported that his salary, which exceeded $1 million per year, "will be honored."
The former Baltimore Ravens quarterback had previously served as an analyst for ESPN's Monday Night Football but was replaced prior to the 2024 season by recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
