Shannon Sharpe will be moving on to different things in life. He’s had quite a successful career as a TE for the Denver Broncos, winning 3 Super Bowls in his 14-season stint.

He’s been a part of the show since its inception in 2016, forming debates and opinions on different aspects of sports, primarily the NFL and the NBA.
Now, as Sharpe proceeds to navigate life after announcing his exit from the show, he is making the most out of his free time. What is the 3X Super Bowl winner doing after his massive announcement of exile from Fox Sports?

After his retirement, the 54-year-old Sharpe is mostly known for his famous debates with Skip Bayless on the show, as they both discuss hot topics in both the football and basketball leagues. Known for his firm and fiery takes, the duo would sometimes also engage in heated talks that bring out a clash between them. Now, Sharpe was recently seen engaging in more light activity, something which will also bring some peace of mind to him at home.

In a recent Instagram post by the 54-year-old, we see him engaging in gardening at his residence. The post shows Shannon Sharpe trimming hedges and taking care of his flowers, while a camera crew follows him to take pictures and videos of him during this activity. Sharpe captioned the post, “Went out to the garden this morning. Took the time to pull some weeds, making room for this season’s flowers to grow. Stay tuned for the seeds I’m planting.🤫🪴” If one looks closely at the caption, it oddly resembles his current situation in his professional life as well, with his exit from the UNDISPUTED show after almost spending 7 years with Skip Bayless.

Why is Sharpe leaving UNDISPUTED?
Prior to Sharpe’s announcement, he and Bayless had a public dispute on air with the recent Damar Hamlin cardiac arrest case. Sharpe was visibly disappointed with Bayless’s tweet about how the league can’t reschedule the Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals match despite Hamlin’s death scare. When Sharpe announced that he would like his co-host to delete the tweet during a monologue, Bayless interrupted him to say that he stands by what he posted. This led to the tension rising between the two even more. Even former NFL player Marcellus Wiley predicted their breakup in January after the incident. Wiley claimed that it was “two alphas fighting for territory”, and it is about who holds more power on the show. Sharpe will make his exit after the NBA 2023 finals in June from the show.
What do you think Shannon Sharpe’s next move post his exit will be? Let us know in the comments below.
