Michelle Beadle and ESPN are in talks that are expected to result in her leaving the company, The Post has learned.

This is part of the continued fallout from ABC/ESPN’s NBA shake-up that right now has Rachel Nichols and her show, “The Jump,” in line for a major promotion in how the network’s coverage will be presented going forward.

Beadle and ESPN are negotiating a buyout, which would end her time at the company, according to sources. She makes $5 million per year. She has multiple years left on her contract, but the exact number is unknown.

Just two years ago, she was one of the faces out front for ESPN. She was a co-host on the much-ballyhooed debut of the morning show, “Get Up!,” and she led ABC/ESPN’s premier NBA Finals show, “Countdown.”

Last year, she was quickly removed from “Get Up!,” and then just recently, she was dropped from “Countdown.”

Now, Nichols and her daily show, “The Jump,” are emerging with the power, though nothing has officially been decided.

While it was first thought that Nichols and Maria Taylor would split “Countdown” in place of Beadle, that is not fully correct.

What really is on the verge of happening, according to sources, is that Taylor will host “Countdown” on Fridays and Sundays in studio, while Nichols’ daily show “The Jump” is receiving a bump up.

The most prestigious night of the week is Saturdays on ABC for the network’s biggest games. This had been led by Beadle on “Countdown.”

Right now, “The Jump” is expected to be on site for those Saturday matchups. This would seemingly give Nichols and “The Jump” the inside track on being the lead-in to the Finals, which is the Holy Grail for NBA hosts. Sources said the format for the Finals presentation has not been completed yet.

Meanwhile, as The Big Lead has mentioned, Stephen A. Smith could lead an expanded “SportsCenter” on Wednesdays as ESPN is eliminating “Countdown” for those nights.

ESPN’s Wednesday games will largely be earlier this season, so instead of “Countdown,” the current thought is to make Smith the center of attention, leading into that night’s action.

While Jalen Rose is expected back on “Countdown,” Paul Pierce may not be on the show any longer, though he could still remain at the network.

As for Beadle, there will be a sliding scale to balance the amount of money she will receive with the freedom she will be granted upon her exit, according to sources.

The more money she leaves with, the less chance she has to quickly work someplace else. In any deal, there is expected to be a non-disparagement clause, meaning she will be unable to speak ill of ESPN if she wants to keep her money. There is no timetable for how long talks will take.

At the moment, Beadle’s reps at CAA are trying to figure out their client’s next move. She could try to do something smaller, centered around a podcast, or she may try to dive back in.

They have reached out to Turner about its NBA coverage, according to sources, but there doesn’t appear to be a match. Turner is set on Thursdays with Ernie Johnson hosting, but is trying to spruce up Tuesdays. At the moment, though, Beadle is not a top choice.

There is a feeling she could end up at the paid subscription site DAZN. Beadle signed her ESPN contract under then-network president John Skipper.

Skipper now runs DAZN, which recently added a morning show with Pat McAfee to its subscription service. Its programming side is headed by Jamie Horowitz, whom Beadle worked with at probably the peak of her popularity on “SportsNation.”

DAZN is international, and Beadle was born in Italy. She may have to brush up on her Italian, but there is an idea that she could possibly do some work in English and Italian if she ends up at DAZN.

However you look at it, she will be leaving ESPN with a lot of dinero.

Russini re-signs: Dianna Russini has signed a new deal with ESPN that will have her adding XFL duties, according to sources.

Next week, Russini will be part of the second late-night coverage of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” doubleheader. The opportunity arose because Laura Rutledge — who originally was on the late-night crew with Steve Levy and Brian Griese — is going on maternity leave. As part of her new deal, Russini will continue to do all her reporting, hosting, etc. on the NFL.

It is interesting what SiriusXM is doing with its $3.5 billion purchase of the streaming service Pandora. The latest is adding a podcast from SiriusXM Mad Dog radio host Adam Schein. Schein’s weekly football-focused pod debuts Wednesday with a local guest, David Wright.

Wright, the former Mets All-Star, talks his NFL-watching routine, fantasy football and Andrew Luck, who, like Wright, had a fantastic career stopped short by injury.

SiriusXM is a subscription service, while Pandora has a commercial-based model. Pandora also has a free daily podcast with the best of Chris (Mad Dog) Russo’s SiriusXM show.

For paid services, they have to find ways to attract new customers. By offering some free content, it can serve as advertising as well. This was part of the DAZN’s thinking with McAfee, as his show will be heard in 40 radio markets for free.
