NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson could be on the move, as a major network has engaged him in talks as his negotiations to return to NFL Network stall.
Hanson has been with NFL Network since 2006, anchoring the Sunday afternoon whiparound coverage on NFL RedZone since 2009, along with a host of other network programs. He lent his voice to NBC for their Olympics version of the concept, appropriately called Gold Zone, which was a hit for the network. Now, according to Front Office Sports, Hanson is in talks to return to NBA for the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy, and could return for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
A larger role with NBC, extending to NFL hosting duties, is on the table, per the report. The talks take place after the expiration of his deal with NFL Media, which has put his future on RedZone up in the air.
