Retirement

The NFL landscape is undergoing a significant shift, as veteran quarterback Matt Ryan has announced his retirement from the game and joined CBS Sports’ prestigious NFL studio show, The NFL Today. This comes as longtime analysts Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason depart the network after their long-standing contributions. Ryan, the 2016 NFL MVP and four-time Pro Bowler, had an illustrious 15-year career, primarily with the Atlanta Falcons. He will now bring his expertise and insights to the CBS Sports team, which includes James Brown, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher, and JJ Watt.

In a move that signals a changing of the guard, CBS Sports has revamped the talent lineup for its flagship NFL pregame show, “The NFL Today.” The network has tapped recently retired quarterback Matt Ryan to join the broadcast team, while bidding farewell to two long-serving analysts, Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason. The reshuffling marks a significant shift for the program, which has long relied on the expertise and chemistry of its veteran commentators.
