Arenas is the host of two popular podcasts, Gil's Arena and No Chill Gil, and recently expressed his interest in Taylor, who he says he has been recruiting for about a year. “Joy’s a great host,” Arenas said of Taylor. “I know we’re looking at her for the football side. We’ve been behind the scenes talking to her for the last year.”

Despite her messy, protracted exit from FS1, Joy Taylor figures to be a fairly major sports media free agent — starting now. News broke Monday that Taylor is out at FS1 after a decade, as her show Speak was canceled along with 60 percent of the network’s daytime studio lineup.
