ESPN Fires Robert Griffin III with Two Years Left, Sam Ponder Amid Budget Cuts
Aug 15, 2024, 06:10 PM
ESPN has terminated the contracts of Robert Griffin III and Sam Ponder as part of budgetary reductions. Griffin, a former NFL quarterback who joined ESPN in 2021, had two years remaining on his contract and was considered a rising star at the network. He was recently replaced by Jason Kelce on the Monday Night Countdown show. Sam Ponder, a veteran host of NFL Countdown, had been with the network for over a decade. These moves come as ESPN concludes its fiscal year, with the firings reportedly aimed at budget moves and cost-cutting. Both Griffin and Ponder will receive the salaries due under their contracts.
