REPORT: Robert Griffin III In Danger Of Losing His Job On ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ As They Pursue Another Popular Former NFL Superstar

ESPN is looking to shake things up this offseason and Robert Griffin III could be the odd man out.

According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, ESPN is “aggressively pursuing” former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce for its ‘Monday Night Countdown’ show. The pursuit of him means Robert Griffin III’s spot is in jeopardy of being taken, according to the report from The Athletic.

Kelce has already been dominating the podcast charts with the “New Heights” show with his brother Travis and now that he has headed off into retirement, being on National television might be the next move for him in his future.

Kelce would be a natural fit on the “ESPN Monday Night Countdown” pre-game show that frequently features star ex-players.

Marchand also noted that ESPN isn’t alone in trying to land Jason Kelce as “NBC, CBS, and Amazon Prime Video all have interest” in the future Hall of Famer. He is as famous as he’s ever been since his brother is connected to Taylor Swift. He would bring thousands, if not millions of more eyes to any program that he is on which is an added bonus to any network.
