Griffin was replaced on Monday Night Countdown by Jason Kelce this offseason. He was also a contributor to the network’s college game day broadcasts.

RG3 wasn’t the only one ESPN let go on Thursday. Sam Ponder, the host of the network’s Sunday night game coverage NFL Sunday Countdown, was also fired.

The NY Post reports that a potential landing spot for Griffin could be NFL Network’s GameDay Morning, as they could be looking for a replacement for Michael Irving.
