Peter Schrager has confirmed that he is on the move, although he has yet to announce his next destination. During the opening of Monday’s episode of Good Morning Football, Schrager revealed it would be his final co-hosting appearance on the NFL Network’s flagship show. Although he did not specify his future plans, he referenced reports from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand and Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, both of whom noted that he was in talks to join ESPN.
“The rumors are true. Today is my last day on Good Morning Football,” Schrager stated. “I end with great feelings, we’re going to celebrate today. I love everyone on this show. It’s all good. But this will be the last episode I’ll be on this program. With a heavy heart, I’m stepping away for good reasons and a bright future. Hopefully, we’ll all still cross paths and talk about football elsewhere.” Kyle Brandt, who has co-hosted GMFB with Schrager since 2016, jokingly expressed he thought the big news was going to be Schrager’s latest mock draft. “Alright, so you leaving the show, that’s a pretty big deal,” Brandt said. “I’m going to have to adjust to that and we’re gonna have to talk about it a lot this morning, I promise you.”

Although a deal between Schrager and ESPN had not been finalized as of last Friday, all signs indicate he will be heading to Bristol. If and when that occurs, both Marchand and Glasspiegel suggest that the 42-year-old is expected to contribute to various ESPN programming, including Get Up, First Take, and NFL Live. Regardless of what happens next, Schrager’s departure from GMFB signifies the end of an era at the NFL Network, with Brandt now the last original co-host remaining. Therefore, it will be interesting to observe any additional changes that may arise at both GMFB and the NFL Network, particularly given the ongoing uncertainty regarding the future of NFL Media.
