Scott Hanson Discusses Future with NFL RedZone

Scott Hanson, the host of NFL RedZone, stated that he is 'not married' to the show and is uncertain about his future beyond his current four-year contract. In an interview with Outkick’s Bobby Burack, Hanson expressed his dedication to RedZone, saying, 'I love my job. I give everything I’ve got to RedZone.' He acknowledged the possibility of exploring other opportunities, stating, 'Could I go somewhere else? Sure.' Hanson has hosted RedZone since its launch in 2009. Prior to the last season, there were questions about his status, but he confirmed his return via social media. Reports indicated that negotiations between Hanson and RedZone had stalled, and he was being pursued by NBC. He previously worked with NBC on its GoldZone show during the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2026 Winter Olympics. Hanson reflected on the challenging negotiations with the NFL, saying, 'There was a time when I thought I don’t know if this is going to happen.' He added, 'The NFL, as they are wont to do, they are very tough negotiators.' Ultimately, he expressed satisfaction with the agreement reached to continue hosting RedZone.
