Ranking 6 Shannon Sharpe Undisputed replacements to debate Skip Bayless (do it, Charles Barkley!)

Some of the situation surrounding who will replace Shannon Sharpe on Undisputed has changed a bit since the Hall of Famer left the FS1 debate show with Skip Bayless.

For one, the show won’t be back until late August, with a report that there’s some struggle in finding Sharpe’s replacement.

But there’s also the fact that there have been layoffs at ESPN, which means some of the names who lost their jobs could be a good fit.

So let’s rank some of the names we’ve seen thrown around, including a certain Hall of Famer who has called out Skip a bunch.

There’s been a ton of buzz about the ex-running back being the heir apparent, but we’ll see if that actually happens. Again, there might be better names out there.

The former NFL wideout has done really well in front of the camera in his post-playing career. Would he be a good fit? Maybe, but I like other names on this list.

I love this idea! The former moderator of Undisputed would be awesome at this.

A solid pick who would be more than capable of the job.
