ESPN has moved on from Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end-turned-media personality Shannon Sharpe, according to a report from Andrew Marchand of The Athletic.
The decision for the network to cut ties with Sharpe comes less than two weeks after he settled a lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend who accused him of rape.
Sharpe has not been present on network programming since late-April when the victim filed the civil suit. Sharpe denied the allegations in a statement, and has not been present on ESPN since. Now he will not be a part of the network's plans moving forward.
