Carl Steward, of InsideBayArea.com, reports The NFL Network has reportedly released former NFL OL Lincoln Kennedy from his job with the network.

Having a little trouble finding him suitable chairs, no doubt.

Get your weight under control, Lincoln!

I thought Licoln did a nice job. I'm wondering if they did this because he had a better offer from another network.

I was wondering if it was something I missed as well. He seemed like one of the better co-host.

He was better (and bigger) than Terrell Davis and Rod Woodson put together.

I thought he was the best guy on Access.

The exact blurb from the article. Article was about Davis going back to the Raider ways by hiring Shell and who he could have on the sidelines w/him:

How about Lincoln Kennedy? Terrific guy, terrific player, terrific Raider. Word is he just got bumped from his gig at The NFL Network. Big Linc could be part of this, if not on the sidelines then maybe in the front office.

If he does wind up on the sidelines or Front Office Good for him. If the NFL network just fired him I'd like to konw why because as I said before I really liked him he was soft spoken, and knew what he was talking about. He didn't force his opinion on anyone.

He probably was let go because he didn't force his opinion on everyone else. That seems to be the way things are going. If you are loud you get your own show.

they may have had to many guys anyway, they're back to the way they started now when it was just ken norton jr., seth joyner, and rich eisen, now they just got rod woodson, terrell davis, and rich eisen, 3 is the right number, too much money goin around too

I liked Lincoln too. He was usually right on the money on his analysis. He was one of first one to day Skins would make playoffs even while they were kind of down.

Same with Colts, saying if they get through with Chargers they have chance of making it undefeated. He didn't think steelers would beat them during regular season, like lot of other analysts thought.

Anyway, maybe he could be a good anchor for Fox? He has the calm personality much like James Brown, although not anywhere as close to accomplished as James was.
