After 17 years reporting on #NFL, I've been informed that I'm being laid off by ESPN effective immediately. I have no plans to retire — Ed Werder (@Edwerderespn) April 26, 2017While surprised and disappointed, I was fortunate to have worked @espn with so many devoted, talented journalists. Columnist Johnette Howard is out:I just found out I'm among the layoffs at ESPN today. — Jesse Temple (@jessetemple) April 26, 2017Like far too many other ESPN colleagues today, I’ve been laid off. In October 2015, ESPN laid off around 300 people who worked behind the scenes.
