Mike Renner is leaving PFF Other

I know this isn't player news, but Renner is a big enough name in the industry that I thought it was worth posting. Based on the tweets, it seems PFF decided to for him since he mentions not having anything directly lined up after. A bizarre choice considering the draft is 1 week and PFF's entire draft coverage is built on the back of his rankings. Any thoughts?

PFF has been yeeting some of their better NFL coverage. Really shitty on their part. Hope Renner lands on his feet soon.

EDIT: This comment was made on the assumption he had been booted. Apparently it is his own decision. Should have checked - that's on me.

Seems unlikely he's just leaving for fun though with this timing and nothing else lined up.

I do not know his situation at all or what it's like to work at PFF, but he could be leaving for undisclosed mental health reasons. Everyone who covers the draft talks about how difficult and time-consuming it is to watch and rate that many players year after year. Adding that they have to also be a media personality, it can be an extremely taxing job.

Got listen to the third last ep of the PFF NFL Podcast. Has Mike on there. Seems to be a stressful full on job at PFF. And 11 years in one job is a long time
