Peter Schrager, the charismatic sports commentator, has officially announced his departure from the popular show ‘Good Morning Football.’ In a heartfelt message on the Monday, March 31 episode, Schrager confirmed the circulating rumours, stating, “Today is my last day on Good Morning Football. I end with great feelings. We’re going to celebrate today. I love everyone on this show.”
Good Morning Football, a flagship morning TV programme on the NFL Network, first premiered in August 2016 with Schrager as one of the original hosts. Having dedicated a decade of his life to the show, Schrager expressed his gratitude and optimism for the future during his farewell address, citing his exit as a move for “good reasons and a bright future.”
The show, which initially broadcasted from New York City, transitioned to Los Angeles last year. However, Schrager and co-host Kyle Brandt opted to continue their roles remotely from New York, while Jamie Erdahl, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Sherree Burruss rounded out the cast.
As the episode drew to a close, Schrager hinted at staying connected to football, teasing, “I won’t be far away, I’ll be talking about football somewhere.” Although his post-Good Morning Football plans remain undisclosed, reports suggest that Schrager is in discussions to join ESPN, potentially contributing to shows such as NFL Live, First Take, and Get Up, with possible involvement in the 2025 NFL Draft coverage on ABC and ESPN.
Aside from his television presence, Schrager also helmed the podcast ‘The Season with Peter Schrager’ under the NFL Podcast Network. The future of the podcast following his transition to ESPN remains uncertain.
Schrager’s departure marks a significant change for the Good Morning Football team and viewers. His vibrant personality and insightful commentary have been integral to the show’s success, making his absence a noticeable void in the morning sports landscape.
While fans bid farewell to Schrager on the show, they eagerly anticipate his next career move and the potential for his expertise to shine on new platforms. As one chapter closes, another exciting chapter unfolds for the talented sports commentator.
As Schrager embarks on a new professional journey, his contributions to sports media are sure to leave a lasting impact, resonating with audiences and fellow football enthusiasts alike.
