SS any word?

Oh yeah I guess I should have brought that up here, not in the Manning or RG3 thread

Anyway, he signed a new 5 year deal that will put him on the studio shows more and online. Still staying at ESPN. When ESPN and the NFL agreed to their new deal, it gave ESPN the right to add more studio shows so Jaws will be a big part of that.

ESPN has made a few top level management changes recently so I think this will be the first of several changes over the next few months.

I read about it at lunch, when I first saw the headline I thought he was booted from the job the way so many MNF guys have been. Glad he's still w/espn, I think he makes the game easier to understand

Yeah I noticed a lot of people were putting it out there like he's gone. But he'll be around for a while.

From what I heard on the radio this morning he's taking on an expanded analyst role at the worldwide leader and just signed a 5 year deal in that capacity. I guess ESPN wanted a 2 man booth team for MNF.

I really liked Jaws on MNF. I thought he was a great bridge between Gruden and Tirico.

Yes. Now no one will be there to soften the Grudenosity.

Yup. ESPN has a lot more studio rights with the NFL now so his focus will be there
