Ex-NFL star Akbar Gbajabiamila brutally loses TV job after only one season on Good Morning Football

Former defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila is reportedly leaving ‘Good Morning Football’ after just one season on the flagship morning show of NFL Network.

The former Raiders, Chargers and Dolphins star, 46, spent seven years with NFL Network between 2012 and 2019 before joining ‘The Talk’ on CBS.

Gbajabiamila returned to covering football in the fall of 2024, as part of major changes to the NFL Network cast. He was brought in to replace Jason McCourty.

But Gbajabiamila last appeared on GMFB on February 14. Since then, a rotating cast of guests has taken his place on the show.

And, according to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, the 46-year-old will not be returning. Gbajabiamila still hosts ‘American Ninja Warrior’ on NBC.

He returned to NFL Network after GMFB moved its primary studio from New York to Los Angeles, with Manti Te’o among the new faces to appear in recent months.

NFL Network recently lost Peter Schrager, too. He joined ESPN, where he will appear regularly on shows including ‘First Take’ and ‘The Pat McAfee Show’.

Gbajabiamila gave no indication that he was leaving on his now-farewell appearance a few days after the Super Bowl. 

‘This was my first season, and it was such a cool experience to be able to go through this entire process and now to get to this point and get the week off,’ he said.

‘I’m going to Florida too with (Schrager). But I’m only going to be there for a couple of days, and I’m going to hop over to the Bahamas. But, it’s been real.’
