Tom Pelissero, a former NFL media insider, joins Netflix and Spotify’s The Ringer in a hybrid role following his termination from ESPN last month. The move marks his return to prominent sports reporting after the ESPN layoffs.
Pelissero was among the personnel affected by ESPN’s July cost-cutting efforts, according to the reports. Yahoo Sports describes the new position as involving Netflix and The Ringer, rather than a single network, but does not specify the exact day-to-day responsibilities. The coverage frames the announcement as a continuation of Pelissero’s NFL coverage and insider access, now through a different media partnership after leaving ESPN.
