ESPN Closes In on Announce Teams for NFL Network Games

ESPN is reportedly nearing a decision on the announce teams for its upcoming NFL Network games, according to Front Office Sports. Dave Pasch, who recently signed a multi-year contract extension with ESPN, is expected to collaborate with former Cardinals radio voice Kurt Warner and Bob Wischusen. Wischusen and Louisville-based sports reporter Louis Riddick will also work together on college football games for the third straight season.

ESPN has been rumored to be considering Warner and Riddick for the NFL Network games, with Jason Kelce as a potential analyst. Molly McGrath, who is transitioning from college football to the NFL Network's slate, will serve as the lead sideline reporter and top fill-in host for Laura Rutledge on NFL Live. The NFL Network's broadcasting schedule for the 2022 season includes games on October 4, 11, 18, 25, and November 8, with a doubleheader on December 26.
