NFL Network Parts Company With Michael Irwin

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin has been let go by the NFL Network after a 15-year tenure as an analyst. Irvin joined the network in 2009 with insights and commentary during his time there, according to The Dallas Morning News.

In 2023, Irvin faced allegations of improper behavior. A woman accused him of making lewd comments during the Super Bowl festivities in Phoenix, Arizona. As a result, the network suspended Irvin from its programming during the 2023 season. The case eventually reached a settlement, and Irvin was reinstated. However, it appears that this reinstatement was temporary. The NFL Network has now decided to part ways with the Hall of Famer1.

Irvin’s absence will undoubtedly be felt by viewers who appreciated his football expertise and charismatic presence. Over the years, he contributed to various shows on the network, including the popular “GameDay Morning” during the season. His departure marks the end of an era.

Additionally, after 21 years, the nightly news show “NFL Total Access” will air its final episode on May 17. The show featured highlights, analysis, and interviews, and has been a staple for football fans. Its hosts, including Kimmi Chex, Mike Yam, David Carr, and Michael Robinson, bid farewell as the network shifts its programming. The network recently implemented a round of layoffs, affecting both on-air personalities and behind-the-scenes staff.

While Irvin continues his work as a guest on FS1’s “Undisputed”, his time with the NFL Network ended.
