Michael Irvin ‘out at NFL Network’ as ex-Cowboys star loses analyst job he’s had since 2009

Michael Irvin has reportedly left NFL Network after 15 years with the league-owned TV channel.

Irvin, a Pro Football Hall of Famer after a stellar career with the Cowboys, was sent home from the network’s Super Bowl coverage in 2023 after being accused of making inappropriate comments to a woman at a hotel.

He eventually returned to his on-air role but has nonetheless lost his job, as first reported by the New York Post.

NFL Network had previously let go of on-air talent like Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer and Melissa Stark to reduce costs.

And according to Front office sportsthere were a series of layoffs at the network in the past 24 hours.

In January, police in Texas confirmed they were investigating separate, vague claims of “misconduct” against Irvin.

“There has been an allegation, but we are not prepared to release details at this time as our investigation is in its very early stages,” Allen PD Public Information Officer Jonathan Maness told Pro Football by email Talk.

Lawyer Levi McCathern told PFT by phone that Irvin “vehemently denies” whatever he is accused of.

During last year’s Super Bowl, he was accused of unwanted sexual advances, resulting in his suspension from NFL Network and fighting lawsuits between himself and the Marriott hotel chain.

Marriott and Irvin reportedly settled their complaint, but only after the chain alleged in a lawsuit that the former NFL star asked a hotel employee “if she knew anything about having a” large black man in her home. [her].”

Irvin was also accused of sexual assault over a 2007 incident at a Hollywood hotel. Four years later, a settlement was reportedly reached in the civil lawsuit.
