ESPN cuts ties with NFL analyst Ryan Clark, wider layoffs expected Tuesday: Sources - The Athletic

ESPN has parted ways with NFL analyst Ryan Clark, who had been with the network for over a decade. Clark was notified of his dismissal during a live broadcast of 'NFL Live' on Monday, reportedly because ESPN feared the news would leak before he could be informed in person. Broader layoffs are expected Tuesday at both ESPN and NFL Network, affecting on-air and off-air staff, as part of wider cuts by parent company Disney.
