Keyshawn Johnson might be pondering a drastic career change as an influencer after the NFL analyst was part of ESPN’s second round of layoffs on Friday.
Johnson was in the second year of a five-year deal for around $18 million with ESPN, while Kellerman made in the neighborhood of $5 million a year.
Less than a week before the surprise layoffs, Johnson addressed his contract on Twitter after he shared a photo with former ESPNer LZ Granderson, who currently serves as a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.“LZ has like 4 jobs and I have years left on my contract. We good brother.”Jalen RoseESPN’s “NFL Live” broadcasts a Super Bowl preview show from Disney California Adventure on February 10, 2022 in Anaheim, Ca.However, Johnson’s free agency doesn’t appear to have him in low spirits.
He made his ESPN debut as a guest analyst while still a member of the Carolina Panthers during the 2007 NFL Draft, and was a member of ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” and “Monday Night Countdown” shows from 2007-15. Johnson, the former first overall pick by the Jets in the 1996 NFL Draft, went on to host a daily morning show on ESPNLA 710 AM from 2016-20, most recently with Granderson and Travis Rodgers.
