ESPN lays off NFL insider Tom Pelissero

Tom Pelissero is reportedly among employees affected by ESPN's latest layoffs, months after ESPN acquired NFL Media assets.

Pelissero joined NFL Media in 2017, contributing to NFL Network and NFL.com, and worked on The Insiders podcast.

He previously covered the Minnesota Vikings for KFAN.com and the Green Bay Packers for the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Pelissero's reporting in January 2026 cited the NFL's projected salary cap increase to between $301.2 million and $305.7 million per team.

His exact net worth and salary are not publicly confirmed, though he had a long career at NFL Media and ESPN.
