Beloved NFL Reporter Announces He’s Shockingly Leaving ESPN After 26 Years With The Network

A longtime NFL reporter is leaving ESPN.

Ed Werder, a 26-year veteran with the network, is on his way out following what has been a memorable career at The Worldwide Leader in Sports.

Werder announced his departure via Twitter/X on Thursday.

“For 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of reporting on the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys while holding an ESPN microphone. But that time is coming to an end,” he wrote. “I will immediately begin considering other opportunities to continue my work covering the NFL.

“My ESPN career was highlighted by being assigned to cover 20 consecutive Super Bowls and included having my contributions honored at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. … While this marks the end of my partnership with ESPN, I expect to continue working because, as so many studio hosts have proclaimed — and I still devoutly believe — ‘Ed Werder has more.’”

The 64-year-old started working for the network in 1998 and was laid off in 2017. He returned in 2019, although he didn’t receive the best treatment from the company, and is leaving again. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
