Reports: Dan Orlovsky, ESPN agree to terms on new contract
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky has been a mainstay analyst on ESPN's NFL coverage in recent years, and he'll continue to stick around after signing a new deal with the sports media giant. Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported Tuesday that Orlovsky and ESPN came to terms on a new deal. The news comes months after Orlovsky had hinted at an uncertain future with the company. Advertisement In an appearance on ESPN's First Take, the talk show hosted by Stephen A. Smith, at the end of the NFL season, Orlovsky said: "You guys know this is the end of the season for me ... I'm taking a break. Won't be on TV for a long time," he said. ESPN CONTRACT NEWS: Sports media company signs Dick Vitale to multi-year extension "Just wanted to say thank you to you guys – Stephen A. [Smith], Molly [Qerim], Shannon [Sharpe] – for a great season. Love being with you guys and love y'all. "Never know what the future holds, but I'm taking a break ... just want to say thank you. Appreciate you guys so much." Advertisement Orlovsky had appeared on ESPN programming in the time since making those comments, but he was still in negotiating talks with both ESPN and CBS. The latter media company wanted to poach the 41-year-old analyst for their Big Ten football coverage, according to Marchand.
