Rob Ninkovich is set to part ways with ESPN after four years. According to reports, the analyst's contract is not being renewed by the broadcast giants.
Ninkovich joined ESPN in 2019 and became an instant fan favorite with his analysis and witty remarks. He also appeared on the channel's popular studio shows, including NFL Live and Get Up.
However, since ESPN is cutting costs in a major way, there have been several layoffs at the company and many more are expected.
Ninkovich's contract with the network will come to an end this summer, but the two-time Super Bowl winner is yet to decide his next move.

Given his prominence at ESPN, he shouldn't have any shortage of offers coming his way. The likes of CBS and FanDuel are the likely options for Ninkovich to consider if he wants to continue working as an NFL analyst.
Another far-fetched prospect for Ninkovich is to become Skip Bayless' co-host on FS1 Undisputed. Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe recently announced his exit from the show.
Nonetheless, it's safe to say that NFL fans are eager to see Ninkovich. He was teammates with Tom Brady at the New England Patriots and fans want him to return on a TV show providing his insights on the world of football and more.
