NFL coverage especially hard, along with significant departures in the NBA space.
New York Post, the network is letting go of top NBA game analyst Jeff Van Gundy, part of the network's "A team" alongside play-by-play announcer Mike Breen and fellow analyst Mark Jackson.
Suzy Kolber, Keyshawn Johnson and Todd McShay are also part of the cuts at the network, according to multiple reports.
Van Gundy, a former head coach of the New York Knicks (1996-2002) and Houston Rockets (2003-2007), had been with ESPN since he left the bench. He developed a brand of being disgusted with NBA officiating but also was a clear and effective communicator of a coach's decisions and responsibilities.
The New York Post first reported the layoffs of Van Gundy and Rose.
Van Gundy had been the network's top NBA analyst since 2007 and recently completed calling a record 17th NBA Finals. Kolber was a longtime ESPN veteran, including being the co-host of a nightly show when ESPN2 debuted in 1993.
She was also the host of ESPN's “Monday Night Countdown” show.
“Today I join the many hard-working colleagues who have been laid off. Heartbreaking-but 27 years at ESPN was a good run. So grateful for a 38 yr career! Longevity for a woman in this business is something I’m especially proud of,” Kolber said on social media.
Rose had also been with ESPN since 2007. He was mainly part of the NBA studio shows but also did a radio show for 11 years and was a co-host when Mike Greenberg's “Get Up” morning show premiered in 2018.
Johnson last year signed a five-year deal worth around $18 million, according to the New York Post, which reported that he will be able to collect the entire amount despite the layoff. Kellerman, The Post reported, was making around $5 million a year. 
The New York Post also reported that the hope is by cutting those making in excess of 7 figures per year, ESPN will be able to save more behind-the-scenes people, however, not everyone who will be let go makes more than a million bucks per year.
