Skip Bayless may soon have a new sparring partner on FS1?s Undisputed. Sharpe and Bayless had a falling out over the topic selection on the show, with Sharpe wanting more input and Bayless refusing to budge. Shannon Sharpe is leaving Undisputed, the FS1 morning debate show he co-hosted with Skip Bayless for five years. Who will take his place alongside the controversial Bayless?

One of the candidates is the former NFL running back who joined FS1 as a panelist on Speak last year. The Ex-NFL player could get a chance to show his skills as a debater and an analyst on Undisputed, where he would have to handle Bayless? hot takes and provocations.

LeSean McCoy, who joined FS1 as a co-host of ?Speak? in September 2022, will reportedly get a chance to show his skills with Bayless after Sharpe leaves Fox Sports. How much would McCoy make if he joins Bayless on Undisputed? Well, let?s do some math. Bayless is raking in $8 million per year from Fox Sports, thanks to his four-year, $32 million contract he signed in 2021. That?s more than what some of the NFL players he critiques on his show earn.

Now, McCoy could expect a similar paycheck as Shannon Sharpe, who used to be Bayless? co-host and made around $3 – $4 million per year. So, we could estimate that McCoy could land a deal worth $3 million to $5 million per year to debate with Bayless. But this is all speculation and the actual offer could vary based on many factors.

But the last straw came when Bayless tweeted a heartless comment about Damar Hamlin?s collapse on the field during a playoff game. Sharpe was outraged and demanded that Bayless delete the tweet, but he refused.
