ESPN has re-signed Dan Orlovsky, a former NFL quarterback and Emmy-nominated analyst, to a new multi-year contract that will keep him as a key figure on NFL Live, a Monday Night Football analyst for select games, and a prominent presence across ESPN’s studio programming. Orlovsky, who has played over 10 seasons in the NFL, revealed that he was close to leaving ESPN after receiving an offer from CBS. He also expressed frustration over losing a Sports Emmy award to Charles Barkley. Despite these challenges, Orlovsky remains a leading voice in ESPN’s NFL coverage and will continue his role for at least four more years.
