Why did Peter Schrager leave NFL Network?
Schrager left NFL Network and Fox Sports to take his new role at ESPN. He is part of an NFL hiring spree the network is conducting ahead of broadcasting its first Super Bowl in history in 2027.
Schrager was one of the original co-hosts of "Good Morning Football" when the show began in 2016. It started out airing from New York City but relocated to Los Angeles last July. Schrager and co-host Kyle Brandt remained in New York and contributed remotely.
Schrager said a heartfelt goodbye to his cast members and NFL Network on his final show on March 31: "The rumors are true," he said. “Today is my last day on 'Good Morning Football.' I end with great feelings...It has been a full decade of my life living, breathing, being 'Good Morning Football.'"
Schrager added at the end of the episode: "I won’t be far away, I’ll be talking about football somewhere."
