In a bid to revamp their "Monday Night Football" pregame show, ESPN is aggressively pursuing recently retired Eagles center, Jason Kelce. Several networks, including Amazon, CBS, and NBC, have also expressed interest in the seven-time Pro Bowler. However, ESPN's pursuit of Kelce could potentially result in the removal of Robert Griffin III from the pregame lineup.

According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, ESPN has a specific vision in mind for Kelce's involvement in the show, which may lead to changes in the existing personnel. One casualty could potentially be Griffin's role on the program. The former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback played for the Ravens in 2020 and joined ESPN as part of the pregame show's desk, alongside Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark.

While Spears and Clark are expected to return to the show, Griffin's future remains uncertain. The report also mentioned that Larry Fitzgerald, who had a part-time role on the program, is currently not under contract, adding further ambiguity to the lineup.

Kelce, known for his stellar career with the Eagles and co-hosting the popular "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Chiefs star Travis Kelce, appears to be the first domino to fall as the networks contemplate changes to their NFL personnel for 2024.

Meanwhile, another intriguing figure in the mix is legendary coach Bill Belichick. Although he is not reportedly interested in a traditional studio role, there are murmurs that Peyton Manning is attempting to recruit Belichick for a position with his Omaha Productions company, which partners with ESPN.

Griffin recently caused a stir with his social media remarks suggesting that this year's likely top pick in the NFL Draft, quarterback Caleb Williams from USC, should refuse to play for the Bears, who hold the No. 1 spot. This controversy, combined with ESPN's desire to make changes to the pregame show, has put Griffin's role in jeopardy.

As ESPN and other networks make moves to enhance their NFL programming for the upcoming season, the anticipation grows around the potential changes to the "Monday Night Football" pregame broadcasting team. The network's pursuit of Jason Kelce and the uncertain status of Robert Griffin III further add to the intrigue surrounding these developments.
