Jason McCourty leaving ‘Good Morning Football’ as show moves to Los Angeles

Jason McCourty will not be making the coastal jump with NFL Network.

The sports analyst is leaving the network’s “Good Morning Football,” which is relaunching in Los Angeles in August after spending years in New York, according to The Athletic.

The show, which has been on a hiatus since the end of March, decided to move to its own studio out west to avoid paying high rent prices to New York’s regional sports network, SNY.

The network added McCourty after Nate Burleson left the program to join “CBS Mornings” in 2021.

McCourty, who was a cornerback in the NFL for 13 seasons, was a part of the show for two years, while also having his hands in broadcasting NFL and college games for CBS and Westwood One.

He lives with his family in New Jersey and is close to his mother and brother, Devin, who will be entering his second year as an analyst for NBC’s “Football Night in America.”

McCourty’s fellow host, Jamie Erdahl, has announced she will move with the program to Los Angeles, while Kyle Brandt will forgo the move but will stay with the show on a hybrid schedule between the two studios.

Peter Schrager’s plan remains up in the air.

The latest “GMFB” update comes months after NFL Network parted ways with several on-air personalities, including Andrew Siciliano, Melissa Stark, James Palmer and “GMFB” news reader Will Selva, as part of cost-effective maneuvers by the league’s media outlet.

In place of McCourty, NFL Network has considered former professional players Manti Te’o, who was most recently a part of NFL Media boot camp, and Akbar Gbajabiamila, who is open to options after CBS’ “The Talk” is reportedly set to be canceled at the end of this year.

“Good Morning Football” will air for two hours on NFL Network upon the relaunch.
