Rachel Nichols’ time at ESPN is now officially over.

Nichols and ESPN reached a settlement on Tuesday to officially end her deal after private comments she made about diversity and Maria Taylor at the network were made public last year. Nichols had one year left on her contract.

According to the New York Post, Nichols is free to pursue other opportunities immediately.

It’s unclear what Nichols’ next move will be; both she and ESPN declined to comment to the Post. She was reportedly making between $1.5 million to $2 million per year.
