Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are out at CBS Sports' NFL pregame show, the former NFL MVP and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback revealed on his daily radio show.

'More their decision than maybe mine,' Esiason said of CBS. 'I had been there for 22 years. The guy who hired me back in 2001 was a guy by the name of Sean McManus, who was the CBS Sports Chairman… I never in my wildest dreams it would have lasted 22 years. With all the people that I've worked with CBS and the 'NFL Today' it's been an amazing run.'

Simms confirmed the news on X, writing: 'Great 26 yrs run with CBS SPORTS. Even though that part of my career is over I look forward to what is next.'

No word yet on who could be filling their seats at CBS' studio show, 'The NFL Today.'
