Chris Berman, the longtime ESPN sportscaster who has been with the company since 1979, is leaving the network after next football season, multiple sources tell The Big Lead. Berman is in the final year of his contract, which ends sometime after the 2016-2017 football season. He is expected to retire, rather than leave for another network.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz declined comment this week.

They are just dropping like flies over there. Saw today that Heather Cox is headed to NBC. This is definitely a new era for The Mothership

I think ESPN is starting to realize their ratings are not effected one bit by the personalities on air. Why pay big salaries?

it was only a matter of time, they are going to cut out all of the older, fat, bloated contracts

Yeah this is one of those Bobby Bowden "We're gonna let you retire gracefully" situations, question is will he go to another network? Or take a break?
