Popular ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky dropped a strong hint that he’s on his way out of the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
The former NFL quarterback joined the network in 2018 after retiring from football. The 41-year-old Orlovsky has mostly worked for popular ESPN programs such as “NFL Live”, “Get Up” and “First Take.”
But during a post-Super Bowl 59 edition of “First Take”, Orlovsky stated that he was taking a “long” break from television and that he’s unsure what the future holds. He thanked his ESPN colleagues, further hinting at a potential departure:
“I’m taking a break, won’t be on TV for a long time….never know what the future holds but I’m taking a break just want to say thank you. Appreciate you guys so much.”
Last week, Michael McCarthy and Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports reported that Dan Orlovsky’s contract is up, and that the Worldwide Leader in Sports would like to extend his deal.
The report noted that Orlovsky also has “options”, with some speculating that he could land a coaching job. Regarding his comments on “First Take”, Front Office Sports also reports that he was referencing a vacation.
The UConn product was a fifth-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2005. He appeared in 26 games over his NFL career with the Lions, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Orlovsky went 2-10 as a starter and threw for 3,132 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Dan Orlovsky Would Be Sought-After By Rival Networks
If Orlovksy were to leave ESPN, there would certainly be no shortage of teams interested in his services. He’s young for an NFL analyst at 41 (he’ll be 42 in August) and would thus be a quality long-term investment for a rival network like CBS, Fox, Amazon Prime Video or NBC.
ESPN has performed a long series of budget cuts over the last two years, so it says a lot that they want to keep Orlovksy. Since ESPN is reportedly keen on keeping Orlovksy, he can at least field offers from other networks to help secure the best possible deal from the Worldwide Leader in Sports.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.
