Ed Werder, an ESPN correspondent who specialized in covering the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL, is ending his 26-year run at the network.
In announcing his exit, Werder emphasized that he hopes to continue his career at another company. He is one of a number of familiar faces to leave ESPN’s air over the past couple of years as the Disney-owned sports outlet has streamlined its operations.
“For 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of reporting on the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys while holding an NFL microphone,” Werder wrote in a statement posted to Twitter/X. “But that time is coming to an end. I will immediately begin considering other opportunities to continue my work covering the NFL.”
The correspondent added his thanks to “my incredible colleagues and to the players, coaches and other NFL team members who trusted me with their unique insight when covering their games or breaking news.
