Michael Irvin Reaches Settlement with Marriott and Returns to NFL Network

Michael Irvin was back analyzing games on the NFL Network on Sunday after he settled his $100 million defamation lawsuit against Marriott.

The Dallas Cowboys legend made his return on “NFL Gameday Morning” and was welcomed by host Rich Eisen. Irvin expressed his joy of being back on the show, saying, “It’s good to be here.”

This marks Irvin’s first appearance on the network since February, following allegations of misconduct with a Marriott employee during Super Bowl week in Phoenix. Irvin vehemently denied the claims, leading him to file a lawsuit against Marriott. He and his attorney, Levi McCathern, even released a video that showed a brief and innocuous conversation between Irvin and the employee.

The worker, referred to as “Jane Doe” in court documents, accused Irvin of making inappropriate comments during their encounter near the hotel’s bar. Irvin adamantly denied the allegations and initiated a lawsuit against Marriott, claiming that their employees and management falsely accused him of misconduct, resulting in substantial financial losses. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed publicly.

As reported by the Dallas Morning News, Michael Irvin and Marriott have recently reached a settlement, allowing Irvin to make his comeback on NFL Network for the 2023 season.

Meanwhile, the NFL Network has confirmed that Michael Irvin has been reinstated and will be part of their coverage for the 2023 season.
