ESPN layoffs are still coming out. Adam Caplan just announced he was let go by ESPN:

Special thanks to: @AdamSchefter for recommending me for the job in 2013, @tunaweasel believing in me, @camboespn for his guidance along the way, @GerryMatalon for his coaching and pushing me to be fearless, Todd Snyder for his terrific producing on “NFL Insiders” and for his understanding of what I brought to the table, and to the other great producers and colleagues that I had a chance to work with over the 4+ years.

I loved every minute of it.

On to the next move(s)–stay tuned…

I wouldn’t be surprised if other NFL names go today. Perhaps some big ones.

Earlier today, Andrew Brandt, who did work for ESPN and also writes for Peter King’s MMQB, announced that he was let go by the network. He was at the draft, but it’s unclear if he was working on ESPN’s behalf there.

Over the weekend, it was also announced that Marc Stein and Chad Ford, who cover the NBA, were let go.

UPDATE: It appears Ron Jaworski is out, too.


Ed Werder, on his podcast:

“It causes me to wonder what is ESPN about because I thought it was about news and information and highlights, and I’m not sure that is the point of emphasis anymore,” Werder said. “How is ESPN going to cover the NFL without all of the people who just lost their jobs? What happens without Merril Hoge and Ron Jaworski to ‘NFL Matchup?’ What happens to ‘NFL Insiders’ without a number of analysts, former general managers like Joe Banner and Mark Dominik? Are we really about to see a time when ESPN can no longer afford to cover its most valuable property in the way that historically it has?”

It seems neither ESPN, nor Jaws, wanted to let that news out during what was sort of Jaws’ event.
