NFL Network has canceled the long-running ‘Around the NFL’ podcast, also firing two of its hosts.
Gregg Rosenthal confirmed as much on Sunday, while Sportico’s Jacob Feldman has since revealed he will host a revamped edition of ‘NFL Daily’ starting Tuesday.
Rosenthal will be staying with NFL Network, but it’s more than can be said for co-hosts Marc Sessler and Dan Hanzus, as they have both been laid off after joining NFL Media in 2010.
“We are excited about the new direction of ‘NFL Daily’ and our entire podcast lineup, and look forward to what Gregg and all our unique and talented voices will bring fans this season and beyond,” the league told Sportico in a statement.
We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are. pic.twitter.com/5bnNuAaHlJ

Gregg Rosenthal Paid Tribute To His Co-Hosts Following Their Firing From NFL Network
Rosenthal didn’t make mention of Sessler and Hanzus leaving the network but said he was heartbroken over ‘Around the NFL’ ending after 11 years.
He did pay tribute to them in a social media thread, however.
“I’m going to miss a lot, especially the magic that happened when we hit record,” he wrote. “Dan is a brilliant and hilarious host, able to create an entire world for us to play in. Marc writes like no one else; just sitting next to him made me feel more alive. We all made each other better and are forever bonded.”

The departures of Sessler and Hanzus are just the latest of a series of layoffs at the network following the terminations of Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer, Melissa Stark, Will Selva, and Michael Irvin since the end of the 2023 season.
‘Around The NFL’ hasn’t released an episode since late May.
