Tiki BarberFormer New York Giant Tiki Barber has been dropped from his contributor's role on NBC's "The Today Show."

The New York Post reported Wednesday that Barber was quietly let go in May as a reporter on the morning news program, a job that paid $300,000 annually. FanHouse reported that Barber's contract with NBC Sports to serve as a reporter on the network's coverage of the NFL, was not renewed when it expired earlier this year.

Barber left his wife of 11 years earlier this year reportedly for a 23-year old former NBC intern. Barber's wife, Ginny, delivered twin girls in May, and the couple is reportedly locked in the throes of a messy divorce.

The Post cited sources saying that the sides have lobbed charges at each other, with Tiki Barber contending that Ginny Barber's alimony and child support demands are for as much as $150,000 a month, a figure that sources close to Ginny Barber deny.
