Griffin had two years remaining in his contract, according to the report.

It wasn’t too long ago when Robertwhwasn’tert Griffin III was viewed as a rising star, but things would change drastically in 2024.

The 34-year-old would find out that former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce was taking his spot as he was announced as the newest Monday Night Countdown cast member.

Griffin still had duties to call games and perform other studio tasks next season, but something clearly changed. The Worldwide Leader in Sports decided to go another route and fire him altogether.

Robert Griffin III Appears To Be The Latest In The Release of Talented Individuals On ESPN

Robert Griffin III had been part of ESPN’s Monday night coverage for two years, bu the Worldwide Leader in Sports decided to fire him this week and end his tenure.

This just may be yet another round of layoffs that has been happening for years.

Just last year, around 20 of ESPN’s top on-air presenters found out today that they would no longer be working for the network.

That news came despite Disney’s financials revealing a surprisingly profitable and powerful ESPN.

For Griffin, he just might find his way on Fox Sports fairly soon.
