ESPN has reportedly removed Robert Griffin III from their ‘Monday Night Football’ coverage.
The network announced on Tuesday afternoon that it had signed former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce to a multi-year deal that will see him join ‘Monday Night Countdown.’
And, according to ProFootballTalk, RGIII has been bumped to accommodate the incoming six-time NFL All-Pro.
While Griffin won’t be on Monday night coverage moving forward, he will remain with the network, calling games and performing other studio duties.
“It’s official. Jason Kelce is in — and Robert Griffin III is out — on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown,” the publication reports.
“Griffin will continue to work with ESPN, calling games and doing studio work. However, his time on Monday nights during the NFL season has ended. In all, he spent two years on the show, 2022 and 2023.”

Jason Kelce Is Set To Replace Robert Griffin III On Monday’s Pregame Show
Since joining the network two years ago, Robert Griffin III has been one of the more popular personalities at ESPN. But he’s lost out to the future Hall of Famer, who retired this season as one of the most-liked players in the league after 13 seasons with the Eagles.
Kelce will replace Griffin on Monday’s pregame show, joining Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark, Marcus Spears, Adam Schefter, and Michelle Beisner-Buck on ‘Monday Night Countdown.’
A Disney press release notes, “Additional postseason studio appearances will occur annually, including during the NFL’s Conference Championship weekend. Further opportunities will be explored.”
Despite his new deal with ESPN, Kelce will continue to host the ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Travis Kelce.
