Tom Pelissero joined Netflix and The Ringer for NFL coverage shortly after being laid off by ESPN last month.

Pelissero serves as a sideline reporter and insider for the streamer’s full season while co-hosting The Ringer NFL Show and appearing on The Bill Simmons Podcast. His move came during a broad round of ESPN cuts that included other sports personalities such as Ryan Clark, Cam Newton, and Bart Scott. Pelissero recently broke the news regarding the trade of Kayshon Boutte from the New England Patriots to the Houston Texans. He continues to manage his new media responsibilities while maintaining his reporting work within the league.
