The NFL may have lost its cable channel, but it’s quickly rebuilding the on-camera operation around everything it still owns. The league is bringing back Andrew Siciliano, Colleen Wolfe, and Michael Yam while adding Trevor Sikkema and Brett Kollmann, giving NFL Media a five-person starting point for its post-NFL Network, digital-first era, according to Wednesday’s announcement.
It’s the first look at how NFL Media plans to staff itself after selling its linear cable channel to Disney earlier this year for a 10% stake in ESPN, a deal that stripped the league of its network but left it holding NFL.com, NFL+, its YouTube channel, and the NFL Channel, a FAST network carried on Roku, Prime Video, Peacock, and a half-dozen other services.
Yam and Siciliano will co-host a nightly program called The NFL Report at 7 p.m. ET, with Yam also fronting NFL GameDay Preview ahead of Sunday, Monday, and Thursday kickoffs. Wolfe gets Power Rankings on Tuesday nights, while Kollmann and Sikkema will co-host NFL Pro, a twice-weekly Monday and Friday show built around a heavy blend of Xs-and-Os breakdowns and Next Gen Stats. They join a content group that already includes Gregg Rosenthal, Bucky Brooks, Lance Zierlein, Jourdan Rodrigue, and Nick Shook.
Sikkema spent five years as Pro Football Focus’s lead NFL Draft analyst, building out that role after the site poached him from The Draft Network in 2021 to host college football, NFL, and draft programming out of its Cincinnati studio. By 2024, that role had expanded into a full daily programming slate, with Sikkema leading PFF’s Grade Release Show, a trenches breakdown, a quarterback show, and an NFL preview program alongside a rotating cast of colleagues, on top of NFL Stock Exchange, the draft podcast he still co-hosts with Connor Rogers that built one of the more devoted fan communities in the draft media space. That PFF role ended this spring when Cris Collinsworth sold the company’s data arm to Teamworks in a $100 million deal, and Sikkema was among a wide swath of PFF content staffers let go as the business retooled around a smaller media operation.
Kollmann arrives from a different corner of football media, from the independent YouTube and podcast scene that’s increasingly feeding the mainstream one. He built his audience through The Film Room, his coaching-and-scheme breakdown channel, and Bootleg Football, the podcast he co-hosts with E.J. Snyder that Blue Wire folded into its network in 2024.
Siciliano spent 13 seasons at NFL Network, largely as the face of NFL Sunday Ticket Red Zone on DirecTV before the Scott Hanson-hosted version became the only option, and he’s kept a busy multi-network schedule since leaving: he’s the Cleveland Browns’ radio play-by-play voice, a job he took over in 2024 succeeding the late Jim Donovan, calls NBC’s Olympic Gold Zone coverage, and hosts Yahoo Sports’ Inside Coverage.
Wolfe, an NFL Network mainstay since 2014 who’s hosted everything from Good Morning Football: Weekend Edition to NFL GameDay Kickoff, is set to keep her ESPN role on Women’s Sports Now alongside this new assignment, according to FOS, making her one of two names on this list, along with Yam, working both sides of the NFL Media-ESPN split created by the network sale. Yam spent nine years as Pac-12 Networks’ lead studio host and four more at ESPN anchoring SportsCenter before joining NFL Network, and he’s expected to remain with ESPN in some capacity this season as well.
What NFL Media’s digital-first version of itself looks like without a linear channel behind it still remains to be seen, but for now, the league has a five-person answer to who’s going to be asking it on camera.
