A number of jobs at The 33rd Team website are being eliminated as the NFL-focused company will center its resources on other aspects of the business, Front Office Sports has confirmed.
About 8-10 employees who work on the website will not have their contracts renewed, one source said. Writer Dan Pizzuta announced on Sunday that he was one of them. The site may still exist in some capacity, and could be paywalled in the future, a source close to the situation said.
33rd Team was founded by former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum in 2019. He could not immediately be reached for comment. Investors in 33rd Team include Gross Labs, Liberty Media, SiriusXM, the Atlanta Braves, and The Baupost Group, according to Pitchbook.
The other areas of the 33rd Team business include data, technology, and consulting. On the latter front, the Jets enlisted the company—including Tannenbaum and ex-Vikings GM Rick Spielman—in November to help with their coach and GM search after Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas were fired.
