The move follows ESPN’s recent talent extensions that did not include the former Rangers captain.

Overview

  • Callahan announced on X just before ESPN’s season-opening broadcast that he will not be on air this year.
  • He said he is prioritizing time with his young family after four years as an analyst at the network.
  • ESPN recently re-signed Bob Wischusen, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, P.K. Subban, Kevin Weekes and Leah Hextall, and added T.J. Oshie.
  • Colleagues including Wischusen and reporter Greg Wyshynski posted public well-wishes following his announcement.
