Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 21:08 · Archive

Scott Hanson, who has hosted NFL RedZone since 2009, says he is open to leaving the show when his current four-year contract expires.

Scott Hanson, who has hosted NFL RedZone since its launch on NFL Network in 2009, has indicated he may move on when his current four-year contract concludes. Speaking to outlets including Outkick, Hanson said he is 'not married' to the role, though he expressed affection for the work. 'I love my job. I give everything I've got to RedZone,' he said. 'I hope I've been good for the NFL. The NFL has been good for me, but I'm not married to it.'

Hanson is currently in the second year of his deal. If he were to leave, he said he would want any new role to 'thrive in a way that it hasn't ever thrived before.' Last offseason, negotiations between Hanson and the NFL stalled before he announced he would return to the show. During that period, NBC reportedly courted him; he has since worked for NBC on its coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
