ESPN is making a fresh round of layoffs, most of which are related to the Disney-owned sports giant’s deal to take over the NFL Network, according to a memo from chairman Jimmy Pitaro.

Pitaro revealed the planned job cuts in a memo to staffers Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by Variety. In February, the NFL took a 10% stake in ESPN, the result of a deal that made NFL Network and NFL RedZone part of ESPN’s operations.
