News of Griffin’s departure was broken on Thursday by The Athletic – although ESPN has yet to confirm the report.

Griffin leaves the network with two years left on his deal, which was signed amidst interest from both ESPN and Fox Sports.

Since joining the network, Griffin had worked on NFL Live and Monday Night Countdown, while also covering college football.

The writing appeared to be on the wall for Griffin as far back as May, when he was replaced on Countdown by former Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce.
