According to Deitsch, Tessitore and McFarland will remain at ESPN in prominent roles.

The status of McFarland's future had been up in the air since reports surfaced that the network was trying to land former NFL star quarterbacks Tony Romo or Peyton Manning.

CBS announced it had signed Romo to extension with the network beyond 2020. The New York Post's Andrew Marchand said Romo signed for $17 million per season for "significantly more than five years."
