Strahan was a legendary player for the New York Giants, and has gone on to create just as big a legacy on television.
He is one of the key members of Fox NFL Sunday, and has served as a host of Good Morning America since 2016.
Strahan only airs Fox NFL Sunday once a week during the NFL season, but GMA takes up much more of that time.
It is because of that NewsNation is reporting that Strahan won’t return to GMA once his contract expires.
“It’s a lot,” a source said. “He wants to spend more time with his family.”
A different source said, “He will be out by this summer — he’s had enough.”
Strahan has taken time off from GMA in the past, specifically in 2023 when his daughter Isabella was dealing with a brain tumor.
Family is of the utmost importance to him, and he could look to spend a majority of his time with them if he leaves GMA.
Strahan also said that he wants to enjoy his retirement on the golf course when he decides to leave television, but also said he won’t make an abrupt exit.
“I won’t go cold turkey on everything,” he told Forbes last year.

“But I see myself slowly dropping different things until eventually, you’ll just find me on the golf course.
“Time is the one thing that once it’s gone, you can never get it back.
“I’m very conscious of that, being a dad. That’s what has led me to think more about the end of my career.”
While the recently released reports indicate that Strahan is done at GMA, a source tells The U.S. Sun, “Several higher ups at ABC say this isn’t true.”
“There’s no truth that I’m aware of that about this at this current juncture. That piece is strictly speculative rumor mill stuff,” another source added.
Michael Strahan’s NFL career
Michael Strahan is one of the most recognizable faces on television.
But he came into his media career with Fox off the back of a hugely successful stint in the NFL.
Strahan spent 14 years all with the New York Giants from 1993 to 2007.
He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and helped them win the Super Bowl in 2007 – ending the New England Patriots’ hopes of a perfect season.
Strahan was also a two-time NFL sacks leader and also won Defensive Player of the Year.
The ex-Giants star set the single-season sack record with 22.5 in 2001 – a feat which was matched by J.J. Watt exactly 20 years later.
He is one of the best defensive stars to have ever played the game – finishing with 141.5 career sacks and 854 tackles.
“If you just read it, it just sounds like someone with a very specific point of view and a very specific desire to make things suddenly complicated for GMA.”
Neither ABC nor GMA have commented about the released reports on Strahan’s future with the show.
The legendary TV host also hasn’t commented on the reports.
Strahan will likely continue his day-to-day TV duties until a new contract is agreed to or he decides to step away from the show.
For now, he is still a member of Good Morning America and Fox NFL Sunday.
