Overview
- The Athletic reports Dungy is likely out after 17 seasons, though the move is not finalized and NBC has declined comment.
- A reduced or emeritus role for Dungy is being weighed, similar to past arrangements for Bob Costas and Al Michaels.
- Plans under consideration include slimming the show’s large cast and potentially dropping the in-studio component to travel each week.
- Many studio analyst contracts expired after Super Bowl LX, creating an opening for a broader reset of the pregame roster.
- NBC has explored replacements, but top targets such as Mike Tomlin and Travis Kelce are reportedly reluctant or unavailable for a studio role.
