Jason McCourty gets a spot on Monday Night Countdown
The McCourtys are taking over prime-time NFL pregame shows.
The McCourt family has expanded their presence in prime-time NFL pregame shows. While Devin McCourty has been a staple on NBC's Football Night in America since 2023, Jason McCourty is set to join ESPN's Monday Night Countdown. The news of Jason's move was revealed on Monday morning and wasn't part of the recent deal that led him to focus solely on Bristol, abandoning Sunday games for CBS. ESPN's recent round of layoffs left a vacancy on the Monday Night Countdown desk, creating room for Jason's addition.
At first, it appeared the move was a strategic step in advancing the More McAfee plan, potentially justifying a lucrative $60 million per year contract. However, Jason's placement in Ryan Clark's chair does not preclude the presence of another McAfee on Monday nights. The specifics of his role are likely to be confirmed once the new contract is signed.
Nonetheless, Sunday nights will feature Devin's expertise, while Monday nights will be dominated by Jason's commentary. This arrangement may lead some casual observers to mistakenly believe both are working for both networks simultaneously.
