According to Pro Football Network, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported in July that Clark’s departure was connected to an expected round of staff reductions. The decision drew attention because Clark remained a prominent part of ESPN’s NFL programming at the time.
Before the reported split, Clark regularly appeared on “Monday Night Countdown” and “First Take.” He had also been expected to contribute heavily to the network’s coverage of Super Bowl LXI.
Clark joined ESPN as a full-time analyst after ending his NFL career following the 2014 season. His television work earned him a Sports Emmy and made him one of the company’s most visible football commentators.
He discussed his surprise over ESPN’s decision to fire him on The Pivot Podcast. Check out what he had to say in the clip below.
