The NFL Network is parting ways with Michael Irvin after 15 years, multiple outlets reported Friday.

The league-owned channel will not renew the Hall of Fame member's contract amid a series of cost-cutting moves that also reportedly includes the cancellation of the show "NFL Total Access."

Irvin, 58, had been an analyst at NFL Network since 2009 and was a key member of the crew for Sunday's pregame show "NFL GameDay Morning."

The NFL Network suspended Irvin in February 2023 after a hotel employee in Arizona accused him of inappropriate conduct during Super Bowl week. He was reinstated in September after settling a $100 million defamation lawsuit with Marriott.

Irvin won three Super Bowl championships with the Dallas Cowboys during the 1990s. Known as "The Playmaker," the wide receiver was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.

His departure comes on the heels of last month's personnel cuts at NFL Network that included Andrew Siciliano, Melissa Stark and James Palmer.
