Karl Ravech, Tom Pelissero among ESPN layoffs in latest round of cuts: Sources - The Athletic

ESPN conducted a major round of layoffs on Tuesday, cutting prominent on-air figures including longtime host Karl Ravech, NFL insider Tom Pelissero, and NFL analysts Cam Newton, Charles Davis, Bart Scott, and Ryan Clark. The cuts are the first since ESPN finalized its acquisition of NFL Network in January, with most dismissals tied to the integration of NFL Network's Los Angeles operation with ESPN's Bristol and New York bases. ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro acknowledged the restructuring in an internal memo, noting 'significant progress integrating the NFL assets' acquired as part of a deal that gave the NFL a 10 percent stake in ESPN.
