Bryant Gumbel left as the play-by-play voice of NFL Network, which will begin the search for a replacement immediately.
Gumbel had handled lead-announcer duties for the network’s package of Thursday and Saturday National Football League games for the past two years.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to call NFL Network games the past two years, which was a new experience for me,” Gumbel said in a statement. “But we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions. There are a lot of talented people at NFL Network. I thank them, I wish them well and I have no doubt that they will be very successful going forward.”
