Iconic ESPN reporter gives update after being among the company's layoffs

Oh really now?

It looks like John Clayton isn't quite done with ESPN yet.

After saying last month that he was among the company's layoffs, Clayton said on Friday that he will still be paid by ESPN through the end of his deal, which expires in 2020.

Clayton had alluded to staying with ESPN in such a capacity earlier this month.

Clayton — who has been with ESPN for 23 years — is one of ESPN's most respected NFL personalities, as he is often a go-to guy for both ESPN television, website, and radio properties.

Outside of his ESPN work, Clayton will continue some of his radio duties, as he still has his radio show with the independently operated ESPN Seattle station. Clayton also has duties with Sirius XM Radio that have been separate from ESPN.
