“Chris Simms announced on Monday morning that he was out on “Football Night In America,” where he had served as an analyst since 2017.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention Chris Simms leaving 'Sunday Night Football' and speaking to Mike Florio, suggesting the announcement was made recently. However, the provided evidence does not contain multiple independent news sources confirming the specific announcement date ('Monday morning') or the exact context of him being 'out' from the show, relying on web snippets that are not fully sourced or cross-referenced.

“Simms, the son of Super Bowl-winning Giants QB Phil Simms, told “PFT Live” co-host Mike Florio, who also appears on “FNIA.””
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results confirm that Chris Simms is the son of Super Bowl-winning Giants QB Phil Simms, and one web search result directly quotes Simms speaking to 'PFT Live' co-host Mike Florio regarding his status on 'FNIA'. This constitutes multiple sources confirming the relationship and the interaction.

“Former Colts and Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy and fantasy expert Matthew Berry are also out in the wake of the network hiring legendary Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention Matthew Berry being 'unlikely to return' to 'FNIA', but there is no corroborating evidence from multiple independent sources confirming that *both* Tony Dungy and Matthew Berry are leaving *specifically* due to the network hiring Mike Tomlin. The evidence is limited to reports about Berry's potential departure.

“It is unclear if Simms will retain his other roles at NBC, where he serves as a college football analyst, a “PFT Live” co-host and runs his popular “Chris Simms Unbuttoned” podcast.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results show Chris Simms discussing his roles (e.g., with 'PFT Live' co-host Mike Florio, or discussing NFL Drafts), indicating his multiple roles. However, there is no single source or corroborating evidence confirming the status of *all* his roles (college football analyst, 'PFT Live' co-host, and podcast host) simultaneously being uncertain.

“Tomlin made his NBC debut on Sunday night, while host Maria Taylor announced that “FNIA” would be traveling to the Sunday night game each week, as opposed to the Connecticut studio the who was previously shot.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results confirm that Mike Tomlin is reportedly joining NBC for the Sunday Night Football pregame show. However, the evidence does not contain multiple independent sources confirming *both* that Tomlin debuted on Sunday night *and* that Maria Taylor announced the permanent shift to the Sunday night game location, making it reliant on limited web search context.

“Simms played five seasons in the NFL from 2004-09, appearing in 23 games for the Bucs, Titans and Broncos.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention Chris Simms' NFL career and his time with the Buccaneers, Titans, and Broncos. However, none of the provided evidence snippets confirm the specific duration (five seasons) or the exact game count (23 games) for this period, making it a single-source assertion based on the search results.
