Just over two months after Shannon Sharpe’s departure from the popular FS1 debate show Undisputed, it appears that current host Skip Bayless finally has himself a new sparring partner.

FS1 is reportedly hiring former All-Pro cornerback and Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman as the show’s new co-host, according to the New York Post‘s Andrew Marchand. Sherman is expected to appear on 50 to 100 shows per year, mostly during football season.

The network is also reportedly interested in adding Keyshawn Johnson, who ESPN recently laid off. The new gig will not interfere with Sherman’s work as an analyst on Thursday Night Football broadcasts for Amazon Prime Video.

Sherman and Bayless had a previous run-in during Bayless’s stint co-hosting ESPN’s First Take during Sherman’s playing career, in which the pair got into a shouting match about their respective career accomplishments. Now, the two will get the chance to air out their differences on a fairly regular basis.
