ESPN has fired “NFL Countdown” host Sam Ponder and analyst Robert Griffin III, sources briefed on the moves told The Athletic.
Both moves were made for financial reasons as ESPN nears the end of its fiscal year at the end of September, according to a source briefed on the matter. Both Ponder and Griffin made more than seven figures annually.

RG3’s wife, Grete, reacted on social media to her husband’s firing.

RG3 and his wife had spent the summer in Paris at the Olympics and had recently gone viral after sharing a picture of themselves eating a large croissant.

While RG3’s time at ESPN is over, he’ll surely get interest from Fox Sports as either an analyst or in the broadcast booth.
