Trent Dilfer Leaving ESPN?

[J. David Wannyheimer]

Just saw this mentioned a couple of places in passing, but apparently Dilfer is out at ESPN.

If true, then it'll be official: there is absolutely no reason to watch ESPN's NFL coverage under any circumstances.

I think it may be a negotiation ploy.

Let me guess going to FOX? ESPN lost Tirico and Bayless to them also recently I think. I heard that ESPN can't afford to keep paying top dollar to their guys because of the hit they are taking for buying the rights to NFL games.

Tirico was hired by NBC for what one could assume Sunday Night football along with the Olympics and other major sports events.

ESPN is making a lot of cuts/ not resigning people. A big reason is Disney has pulled the reigns in as the heads of ESPN basically outbid themselves for a couple television rights. A lot of guys who are leaving are also leaving for more creative freedom.

There have been some rumblings of him going to work for the Niners
