Colin Cowherd has become ubiquitous in football. He is there talking about games and players, discussing potential trades and free agency moves. But as per new reports, it just might happen that the broadcaster himself might be on the move very soon.
He is currently contracted with FOX Sports until 2025 but what happens after that is anyone's guess. He might even be set to return to ESPN, with the latest reports suggesting that the network is keen to bring him back on.
ESPN, and its parent company Disney, had laid off employees across the board recently. However, they have not shied away from paying big money to sportscasters who can generate revenue on their own.

They went out of their way to bring in Pat McAfee from his existing contract with FanDuel. They have also retained Stephen A. Smith and are now looking at potentially getting Shannon Sharpe as well.

Presently, 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd' airs simultaneously on FS1 and Fox Sports Radio at 12 noon ET, and he also appears on the 'FOX NFL Kickoff Sunday' pregame show.
He previously co-hosted the original version of 'Speak for Yourself' with Jason Whitlock.
Colin Cowherd's previous stint with ESPN
Colin Cowherd was brought on to ESPN Radio in 2003 after a stellar radio career in Nevada, Florida and Oregon. He started his career there talking mainly about the NFL, college football and NBA before joining Michelle Beadle in hosting 'SportsNation' in 2009. He was part of the show until 2012.
His end at ESPN came in 2015 after he made disparaging comments about Dominican Republic players in baseball.
He said about the country:
"... has not been known in my lifetime as having world class academic abilities... a lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have."
The network decided to immediately cut Cowherd in July 2015 following these remarks. However, as he was still a popular host, he was signed in August 2015 by FOX, where he has been for the past eight years. At the end of 10 years, it remains to be seen whether he will return back to the network where he first made his name.
