Jason Kelce could replace RG3 in looming ESPN ‘Monday Night Football’ makeover
NY Post
With several networks in hot pursuit of Jason Kelce for a television role, ESPN appears to have a specific idea in mind for the recently retired Eagles center, and it could come with a casualty.
Yet another “Monday Night Football” makeover is in the works and Robert Griffin III’s role on the pregame show “is in jeopardy,” The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reports.
Amazon, CBS and NBC are also interested in Kelce, 36, as ESPN “aggressively” pursues the seven-time Pro Bowler, per the report.
In the wake of last summer’s mass layoffs that saw former host Suzy Kolber get let go, Scott Van Pelt became the new host of “Monday Night Countdown.”
The desk also included RG3, Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark, who re-signed with ESPN last month after a contract impasse.
Spears and Clark are expected to return, according to the report, and features reporter Michelle Beisner-Buck, the wife of play-by-play guy Joe Buck, is also staying on the show.
