 there have been no official announcements regarding an ESPN anchor ending their career today. However, in recent times, several notable ESPN personalities have either retired or taken significant steps in their careers:

Adrian Wojnarowski’s Retirement

In September 2024, Adrian Wojnarowski, renowned for his NBA reporting and breaking news—often referred to as “Woj bombs”—announced his retirement from ESPN. He departed to become the general manager of the men’s basketball program at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University. Wojnarowski cited a desire to spend his time in more personally meaningful ways as a reason for his departure.

Dan Orlovsky’s Departure

In February 2025, former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky hinted at a potential departure from the network during an episode of “First Take.” He mentioned that he would not be on TV for a long time, thanking his co-hosts for a great season. While it remains unclear if he is permanently leaving ESPN or just taking a break, fans have speculated that he could be pursuing a coaching position within the NFL.

Randy Moss’s Health-Related Break

NFL legend and ESPN analyst Randy Moss took a break from “Sunday NFL Countdown” in late 2024 to address personal health challenges. He disclosed that he was battling an issue affecting his eyes and expressed gratitude for the support from colleagues and fans. Moss has been with ESPN since 2016 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

Dick Vitale’s Return to Broadcasting

After an almost two-year absence due to battles with lymphoma and vocal cord cancer, 85-year-old ESPN analyst Dick Vitale made an emotional return to the broadcasting booth in February 2025. He was honored with a standing ovation and expressed his excitement to be back, referring to the experience as his “Super Bowl.”

John Anderson’s Retirement

Longtime “SportsCenter” anchor John Anderson announced in March 2024 that he would retire from ESPN at the end of June 2024. He had been with the network since 1999 and decided to step away as his contract concluded.

These departures and returns highlight a period of transition for ESPN, as the network adapts to changes within its talent roster.
