Overview
- Scott Hanson told OutKick on Thursday that he is in year two of a four‑year contract to host NFL RedZone and that he is “not married” to the role.
- He said he loves the job but would be open to leaving after the deal expires, adding that he could “go somewhere else” when the time comes.
- Hanson continues to expand outside RedZone, having hosted Peacock’s Olympic whip‑around show Gold Zone and already signed to return for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- Industry observers note the whip‑around format is a rare skill set and say a post‑RedZone move would likely require a network to create or adapt a role for Hanson.
- RedZone debuted in 2009 and Hanson has been its defining on‑air face; his 2025 extension runs through 2028, which would amount to roughly 20 years as host if he completes the deal.
