Longtime Host Scott Hanson Hints At Leaving NFL RedZone

For years NFL Network host Scott Hanson has been the face of the popular NFL RedZone channel. But as the product itself changes in ways fans don’t like, Hanson himself may be gearing up for a change of his own.

In a recent interview with OutKick, Hanson said that he’s midway through his four-year contract at NFL Network and he isn’t “married” to the idea of being at the network forever. He admitted that he could see himself going somewhere else so long as the next show he does lets him “serve the audience as best as anyone in a host role can possibly serve an audience.”

“To be fully transparent I’m in the middle of a four-year contract right now. This is season two of a four-year contact to host NFL RedZone,” Hanson said. “I love my job. I give everything I’ve got to RedZone. I hope I’ve been good for the NFL. The NFL has been good for me, but I’m not married to it. Could I go somewhere else? Sure, but we’ll talk about that when it’s time to talk about that. And if I were to go somewhere else, I would want that show or that endeavor to thrive in a way that it hasn’t ever thrived before and to serve the audience as best as anyone in a host role can possibly serve an audience.”
