THE move from New York to Los Angeles for NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” will mean one presenter leaving the show.
Jason McCourty will not go with the NFL show to its new home, according to a report in The Athletic.
The move is a cost-cutting one, with the NFL electing to host the show from its league headquarters rather than renting studio space from regional sports network SNY in New York.
This would be the first confirmed departure from the show.
Jamie Erdahl has already announced that she would go with the program to Los Angeles.
Kyle Brandt looks set to remain in a hybrid model where he will be in a New York studio for some of the time.
Peter Schrager’s involvement, if any, isn’t yet known.
It is also reported that former NFL players Manti Te’o and Akbar Gbajabiamila are under consideration to replace McCourty.
Te’o, 33, was a second-round pick of the Chargers in 2013. He spent four years with the Chargers, three with the Saints, and one with the Bears. He last played in 2020.
Gbajabiamila spent a few seasons in the NFL, firstly with the Oakland Raiders. He is currently one of the co-hosts on CBS show, The Talk.
McCourty may be on his way, but there will still be continuity when the show moves west.
Erdahl said she was staying with the show at the time of it going off the air in March.
“The work, the creativity, the friendships, it’s been an honor,” she said.
“I’m proud of the person that I am when I sit in that red chair, and out of it. As a host as a wife, as a mom, and a daughter.
“I’m also really happy to say that I get to keep sitting in my chair, being the best point guard I can be when Good Morning Football returns in Los Angeles.
“So I will see you from LA. But now I’m gonna go have a baby.”
McCourty played for 13 seasons in the NFL as a cornerback.

With this season’s schedule now revealed, eager NFL fans are looking to secure tickets to their favorite games.
You can start buying tickets for some games on several sites now:
Before purchasing tickets on resale websites check pricing as they are third-party sellers and, importantly, the cost can vary depending on demand. You may pay more than an official ticket, though you can also get good last-minute deals too.
But if you can’t be there in person, don’t worry, there’s still time to set up your stream before the season starts.

He played for the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.
He has done plenty of media work since retiring, including working on Westwood One’s radio coverage of Thursday Night Football games.
His family is well settled in New Jersey, with the move out west likely to be a big factor in him moving away from the show.
It is believed that Good Morning Football will still start at 7am Eastern time, which will mean a 4am start in California.
The program has been on air since 2016, and is seen as an important one on the NFL Network, especially on the Monday after a full Sunday of games.
