The NFL Media Landscape Undergoes a Significant Shift
The world of NFL media has been left reeling after the unexpected cancellation of the popular podcast, Around The NFL. The show, which had been a staple of NFL Media for over 11 years, came to an abrupt end in May, leaving fans and colleagues alike in shock.

The news was confirmed by co-host Gregg Rosenthal, who took to social media to express his gratitude to the show’s loyal listeners and to pay tribute to his former co-hosts, Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler. Rosenthal, who will be staying on with NFL Media, will host a new podcast called NFL Daily, which is set to launch on Tuesday.
“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.” - Gregg Rosenthal
The cancellation of Around The NFL is part of a larger wave of changes and cuts at NFL Media, which has seen several high-profile departures in recent months. The new podcast, NFL Daily, will feature Rosenthal alongside other NFL Media talent and experts from outside the company.
A New Era for NFL Media
The launch of NFL Daily marks a significant shift in the NFL Media landscape. The new podcast will feature a rotating panel of experts and will be released five days a week. The first episode will feature NFL Network’s Patrick Claybon and The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, with ESPN’s Mina Kimes set to appear later in the week.
