As shared by The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported that Richard Sherman will be joining FS1’s "Undisputed".
The 2013 Super Bowl champion will reportedly be one of Shannon Sharpe’s replacements when the sports debate show returns on air. Sherman will apparently be doing 50-100 episodes during the football season.

Here are some other comments regarding Richard Sherman’s inclusion on "Undisputed".
Richard Sherman has had a feud with Skip Bayless before
Marchand reported that Bayless and Sherman met at The Peninsula Beverly Hills recently before the latter agreed to join the program.
The two-hour talk was likely necessary to bury the hatchet between them, as they had an intense exchange when Bayless was still co-hosting ESPN’s "First Take" with Stephen A. Smith.
Sherman said during their heated argument in 2013:
“Skip, you can say whatever you want. But whenever you speak to me, whenever you address me, address me as All-Pro Stanford graduate. Those are accomplishments you can aspire, but you can never accomplish. You have never accomplished anything.
“I’m one of the best 22 players in the NFL. I don’t think you’re one of the best 22 anything. In sports, in media, in anything.”
Aside from five All-Pro selections, Sherman was selected to five Pro Bowls. He also led the league in interceptions in 2013 and won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seattle Seahawks.
Who else will be joining Richard Sherman on "Undisputed"?
FS1 is aiming for an ensemble debate crew across Bayless. Aside from Sherman, the show’s producers are also working to bring in Keyshawn Johnson, who was part of the latest ESPN layoffs.
Marchand stated that Johnson finished the first year of a five-year, $18 million contract that ESPN still owes him. Meanwhile, it has been reported that rapper Lil’ Wayne will also have a more active role in the show.
The hip-hop artist wrote the show’s theme song, "No Mercy". This time, he will also debate Bayless on the hottest sports topics.
"Undisputed" started in September of 2016 with Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. The former NFL tight end left the program after the 2023 NBA Finals ended as part of his contract buyout. LeSean McCoy was also rumored to be one of Sharpe’s replacements on the program.
While doing "Undisputed", Richard Sherman will still remain with the Thursday Night Football broadcast crew.
