ESPN just pulled the trigger on its first major layoffs in three years, a seismic shift tied directly to its recent acquisition of NFL Network and other digital assets from the NFL — a deal that also handed the NFL a 10% stake in ESPN. The cuts ripple across departments, hitting beloved voices like Ryan Clark, Karl Ravech, and Tom Pelissero, even as other NFL insiders like Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter see contract extensions. Chairman Jimmy Pitaro assured staff of support during this transition, while Clark offered heartfelt well-wishes to colleagues. The layoffs are part of a wider Disney-wide restructuring, making this one of the most consequential shake-ups in ESPN’s recent history.
