Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms sacked at ‘NFL Today’

Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are out at CBS Sports as analysts on the network’s Sunday pregame show “The NFL Today.”

Both former NFL quarterbacks announced Monday that they were leaving the network; The Athletic reported that Matt Ryan is in. J.J. Watt will remain and could have an expanded role this season.

The moves come in the aftermath of the announced retirement of CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus, with David Berson replacing him as boss of CBS Sports.

“More their decision than maybe mine,” Esiason said of CBS Sports. “I had been there for 22 years. The guy who hired me back in 2001 was a guy by the name of Sean McManus, who was the CBS Sports Chairman … I never in my wildest dreams (thought) it would have lasted 22 years.”

Simms was there for 26 years, first as the in-booth No. 1 analyst alongside Jim Nantz before shifting to the studio in 2017 when the network inked Tony Romo.

“Great 26 yrs run with CBS SPORTS. Even though that part of my career is over I look forward to what is next,” Simms posted to X.
