Who says the NFL offseason is only about current players? Former New York Jets linebacker Jonathan Vilma is jumping ship at ESPN for Fox according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
The three-time Pro Bowler is joining Fox’s NFL coverage and Marchand notes that Vilma’s likely broadcast partner will be Kenny Albert. Working alongside Albert as a game analyst is likely one of the driving factors that pushed the former linebacker from ESPN to Fox.
“Vilma, 38, strongly considered staying with Disney as he enjoyed his role on ABC college football pregame, where his co-analyst was Mark Sanchez, and his appearances on ESPN shows such as “Get Up” during the week.
