Peter Schrager has confirmed he is leaving the NFL Network and Fox Sports.
The respected league insider and TV personality, who rose to prominence on Good Morning Football (GMFB), is expected to move to ESPN ahead of the 2025 season.
He confirmed the news as he opened Monday’s GMFB, revealing that the show will be his last.
“I’d love to get back to the football, but if you didn’t follow Andrew Marchand or Ryan Glasspiegel on Friday, the rumors are true,” Schrager said.
“Today is my last day on Good Morning Football. I end with great feelings. We’re gonna celebrate today.
“I love everyone on this show. It’s all good, but this will be the last episode I will be on and with a heavy heart I’m stepping away.
“It’s also for good reasons and for a bright future, and hopefully we’ll all be crossing paths and we can talk about ball elsewhere.”
Schrager’s announcement did not confirm he is heading to ESPN, as has been widely reported by Front Office Sports and The Athletic but it did leave his NFL Network co-hosts emotional.
Longtime co-host Kyle Brandt called the news a ‘shock’ and described his exit as ‘a big deal’.
Manti Te’o, who joined GMFB last season, added: “When I heard the news on Friday, I told Jamie (Erdahl) I felt like a guard or a forward that got signed to the Dallas Mavericks and was looking forward to playing with Luka Doncic.
“And right when I get on the scene, he’s gone.
“I’m over here trying to figure this thing out. We’re really gonna miss you brother.”
