ESPN has dropped NFL analyst Ryan Clark as part of expected layoffs, according to Andrew Marchand of The Athletic. Per Marchand, Clark was informed of his firing while he was taping “NFL Live” Monday and did not stay on for the remainder of the show. According to Richard Deitsch of Sports Business Journal, ESPN had planned to inform Clark about being laid off on Tuesday, but let him know ahead of time to avoid having him find out through the media.
