Three NFL Network analysts are out following a wrongful termination suit against NFL enterprises involving a former employee.
Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk, former Auburn standout Heath Evans and former Pittsburgh Steeler Ike Taylor are either out, or on their way and negotiating exits.
Evans was drafted in 2001 out of Auburn, and played for Seattle, Miami, New England and New Orleans. He called his first NFL game in 2012.
The trio was suspended in December after sexual harassment accusations were made against them.
Former Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb and cornerback Eric Davis also were named in the suit, Marchand reported. They each had already left NFLN for ESPN, and ESPN has since fired them.
Eric Weinberger, an executive producer at NFLN, also lost his job. He had previously left for Bill Simmons’ Ringer, but has since been fired by The Ringer.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
