ESPN announced it has signed commentator Trent Dilfer to a multi-year contract extension, ending rumors that his eight-year run at the network was coming to an end.
The New York Daily news reported last month that Dilfer was "likely done at ESPN" and Dilfer responded to rumors that he may be in line for a job with the San Francisco 49ers by saying," I'm focused on my broadcasting opportunities." However, he did not specifically refer to ESPN, furthering speculation that he was considering going elsewhere.
