Analyst Ron Jaworski will exit ESPN's 'Monday Night Football's' announcing team, as it goes to a two-man booth with Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden. Jaworski, working from Bristol, will join ESPN's Sunday pregame show and its MNF pregame show and continue with his NFL Matchup show.

In addition, ESPN gave Jaworski a new five-year contract extension. In a statement, Jaworski says he's "grateful for having the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of working on" MNF.

Says Gruden of Jaworski, an ex-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback: "Jaws has taught me so much about broadcasting and nobody works harder. He also watches as much film as anyone."
