Ray Lewis, Cris Carter out at ESPN, Randy Moss in

The upheaval at ESPN continues: according to The Big Lead, the network is parting ways with Ray Lewis and Cris Carter.
The network will also welcome Randy Moss to its coverage.
There's no word yet on what Moss will be doing for the network (fun story: one of his recent projects has been helping run free boot camp classes in Charlotte, and he also called ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary of him "pure lies"), though he has been with Fox Sports in recent years.
Carter, who has been with ESPN since 2008, has been part of "Sunday NFL Countdown," "Monday Night Countdown" and other shows. He came under fire last year when it was revealed that he told freshly-drafted players at the 2014 NFL rookie symposium to get a "fall guy" in case they get in trouble.
Lewis, who joined ESPN immediately after retiring in 2013, is also no stranger to controversy off the field; he has most prominently been part of "Monday Night Countdown."
In addition to Moss, ESPN also added recently-retired (and not nearly as controversial) players Matt Hasselbeck and Charles Woodson to its talent roster.
