A NEW morning team has reportedly been lined up for ESPN as company-wide layoffs continue to transform the network.
ESPN has been looking to cut costs this summer, cutting dozens of high-profile names in the process.
Among those to have been let go were former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and boxing broadcaster Max Kellerman.
They had featured alongside former NBA star Jay Williams on ESPN's morning show.
His future too remains up in the air, with his contract set to expire soon.
Now it seems their void has been filled, with the New York Post reporting that Super Bowl champion Chris Canty is set to join the show just weeks ahead of the new NFL season.

The former New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, and Dallas Cowboys defensive end has co-hosted Canty & Carlin on ESPN Radio since last April.
Meanwhile, another new face joining the morning show is Evan Cohen, who is set to depart SiriusXM.
He will be joined by former ESPN St. Louis affiliate host, Michelle Smallmon.
Fans were seemingly divided on the news of Johnson, Williams, and Kellerman's replacements, with one tweeting: "Smallmon was fantastic @101espn . She'll be a great addition."

By comparison, another said they were "Bound to fail unfortunately."
As one added: "#Canty is my guy, a #BigBlue vet! But who the hell are the other 2! You should kept #Keyshawn, you are still paying him!"
But these are far from the only changes around ESPN after other big names such as Jalen Rose, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson were among the other big names to be let go.
According to the New York Post, Van Gundy and Jackson's roles as lead analysts alongside Mike Breen are set to be taken over by Doc Rivers and Doris Burke.
Meanwhile, ESPN is also reportedly looking to push J.J. Redick and Richard Jefferson, both former NBA stars, up the pecking order.
