It appears that football analyst Dan Orlovsky might be considering a departure from ESPN. This is based on recent remarks he made which have left many viewers surprised. Prior to joining ESPN in 2018, Orlovsky played for several teams including the Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He donned his jersey one last time with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 before retiring. Intriguingly, his recent statements hint at taking a break from ESPN, causing ripples among viewers. Here’s what we know so far.

Is Dan Orlovsky leaving ESPN?

During ESPN’s discussion show “First Take” after the Super Bowl, Dan Orlovsky mentioned he would be taking a break from television. Yet, he hasn’t officially announced his exit from the network, so this information is just rumor at this point.

The chatter about his departure from ESPN originated following the ambiguous remarks he made during Monday’s First Take broadcast. He stated, “You all know this marks the end of the season for me… I’m taking some time off. You won’t be seeing me on TV for a while. Just wanted to express my gratitude to you – Stephen A. [Smith], Molly [Qerim], Shannon [Sharpe] – for an outstanding season. It’s always enjoyable working with you, and I appreciate each of you.

It appeared he was hesitant about his continued role at the television network, mentioning only that he was taking a break from TV broadcasts. He also expressed his thanks to his coworkers and viewers. Furthermore, his reply to a fan on social media (previously known as Twitter) fueled speculation about his departure. However, it’s still uncertain if he is actually leaving the network altogether.

According to a source, ESPN is considering renewing his contract due to their high regard for his hard work and valuable additions to their popular shows, First Take and Get Up.

Despite some speculation, it’s being rumored that he is considering different possibilities. He has also been in discussions with multiple teams to gather information about his preferences, and according to Adam Schefter on The Pat McAfee Show, he expresses a desire to step into the role of a head coach, as reported by On3.
