Update: Dan Marino expected to withdraw from lawsuit

Update: Dave Hyde of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel says Dan Marino will withdraw from the lawsuit. Wise decision if he still wants to pursue a broadcast career with NFL.

CBS said good-bye to the former Dolphins quarterback, who spent 12 years working on NFL Today. The network made a lineup change, bringing in Tony Gonzalez and Bart Scott.

It is hard to imagine Marino pursuing this lawsuit if he sat on a show that had such a tight NFL connection. He certainly wouldn’t be able to speak objectively about the concussion issue.

Until the lawsuit is resolved, it also is difficult to see Marino landing on an outlet that has a TV contract with the NFL. We’re talking ESPN, Fox Sports 1, NBCSN, and most definitely NFL Network.

Looks like Marino might be on the TV sidelines for a while.
