ESPN Signs NFL Vet To Massive Contract
ESPN has announced Jason McCourty has signed a multiyear contract as a contributor to the network’s coverage of the National Football League. McCourty will serve as an analyst on a number of shows on the network during the February broadcast of Super Bowl LXI. That will be broadcast live from Los Angeles at the Rams’ stadium.
Since McCourty’s new deal restricts him to ESPN, he will no longer serve as a regular-season game analyst for CBS. As the game caller, McCourty has worked with Andrew Catalon and Charles Davis since the beginning of the season.
