Jason Kelce and Kurt Warner appear to be fronting the charge to become an analyst for ESPN’s secondary broadcasting crew for their coverage of the NFL.
ESPN are currently in the process of a huge personnel overhaul having moved on from their previous secondary trio, fronted by Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick and Chris Fowler.
Their No. 1 broadcast pairing of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman remain intact, with Lisa Salters and new full-time addition Laura Rutledge as sideline reporters, as ESPN get set to hold their first Super Bowl this season.
The network’s shift comes in light of their blockbuster billion-dollar acquisition of multiple NFL Media assets, with the new agreement seeing ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ double-headers removed from the schedule.
This is partly down to their acquisition of an extra seven games, all of which will be staged internationally across the globe.
Kelce and Warner front-runners alongside Dave Pasch
Back in April, former Philadelphia Eagles center Kelce emerged as a ‘dark horse’ candidate to become a regular analyst.
But in a recent episode of Marchand & Meterparel: Everybody Loves Sports Media with Andrew Marchand and Jon Meterparel, he appears to have become one of the leading frontrunners, alongside that of two-time NFL MVP, Warner.
“I reported a little while ago about Dave Pasch and Jason Kelce,” Marchand said. “I think Kurt Warner is a possibility and Steve Levy.
“If you wanna talk about play-by-plays beside Pasch, Steve Levy, Mike Monaco, Bob Wischusen I think are all in play, though I’d say Pasch is the favorite.
“They want to see what the schedule looks like first. Once the schedule comes out in a couple weeks, then they’ll see.
“I think the feeling is that probably a lot of international games, but they have to see what the NFL comes up with [to decide] if they need one team, if they need two teams.
“I think they’d prefer just having one team,” Marchand added. “If they do a deal with Kelce, they’d have to negotiate that because it’s not part of his current contract.
Kelce signed a multi-year deal worth $24 million with ESPN back in May 2024, months after the Super Bowl champion retired from playing football.
He has been utilized by the network sporadically across a myriad of sports, including serving as a guest announcer for their coverage of the TGL Golf league, as well as being an on-course reporter for the 2026 Masters Par 3 Contest.
“So I’d say it’s going to be either Kelce or Warner as the analyst and I’d say Pasch has the inside track, but there are some people pushing for Levy,” Marchand continued.
“When you get into these things, people start discussing, you mention Monaco he’s on the rise, so if they want to go younger he could be the guy. But I’d say Pasch is the favorite.
“That’s another guy [Pasch] who’s always calling good games,” Meterparel responded.
“Pasch is terrific. I think he’s informative. He’s entertaining. He’s a little dry at times, but he proved with his Bill Walton days that he does have a good sense of humor. So I think that’s a really good choice.
“ESPN has a stable of guys that are all, to me, very similar in terms of their ability. And it’s a good thing, because they’re all really good. Put Wischusen in that category. Monaco is definitely there.”
