Peter Schrager opened Monday’s episode of “Good Morning Football” by saying it was his last on the NFL Network program.

Over the weekend, multiple outlets (including The Athletic and Front Office Sports) reported that Schrager would be departing NFL Network and FOX Sports, his current employers. The leading candidate for his next spot, per The Athletic, is ESPN.

“The rumors are true. Today is my last day on Good Morning Football,'” Schrager said Monday. “I end with great feelings. We’re going to celebrate today. I love everyone on this show. It’s all good. But this will be the last episode I’ll be on this program. And with a heavy heart, I’m stepping away. But it’s also for good reasons and for a bright future. And hopefully we’ll all still be crossing paths and we can talk about ball elsewhere. It’ll be fine.”

Schrager is one of the original “GMFB” cast members from the show’s start in 2016. At FOX, Schrager was a sideline reporter, but in recent years focused on in-studio work for the “NFL Kickoff” pregame show each Sunday.

“GMFB” moved its headquarters from New York to Los Angeles last year; neither Schrager nor Kyle Brandt followed the show out West but remained in full-time roles on the desk. Brandt is now the only remaining original co-host, with Jamie Erdahl and Akbar Gbajabiamila as the other current full-time hosts.

Schrager’s role at the “Worldwide Leader,” should ESPN indeed his next employer, is undefined publicly at present. But between his extensive relationships throughout the league and ability to fit multiple show formats, along with no shortage of NFL programming on the network, it should be a natural fit.
