Former NFL MVP laid off by ESPN alongside former Steelers safety Ryan Clark

Ryan Clark isn't the only retired NFL player getting laid off by ESPN, as after the sports media juggernaut parted ways with the former Pittsburgh Steelers safety turned sports analyst, they also cut ties with a one-time league MVP.

According to reporter Ari Meirov, ESPN parted ways with former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who appeared on the network's flagship show, First Take.

In addition to Newton and Clark, ESPN also laid off longtime announcer Karl Ravech and NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.

Still, the most controversial of these layoffs is, without a doubt, Clark, who learned of his unfortunate departure from ESPN mid-show during his appearance on NFL Live. He ultimately didn't return to finish out the broadcast.

We at Steelers Wire remain committed to providing fans with any more relevant updates on the situation, including any additional high-profile layoffs, comments, or support Clark receives from the NFL world.
