Philadelphia Eagles cornerback, Darius Slay, has recently commented on the alleged rift between 'Undisputed' hosts Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless. With rumors circulating that their personal relationship is not well, there seems to be multiple layers of why Shannon Sharpe is bailing out on Skip Bayless.

Slay tweeted a video of a TikTok compilation of every time the two have quarreled on set, which includes times when Sharpe got frustrated when Bayless did not let him speak. It also included times when they had a kerfuffle after Bayless' controversial tweet on Damar Hamlin. It was bookended by the time when Bayless insinuated that Sharpe was criticizing Tom Brady because he was jealous of his success.
Notwithstanding Darius Slay's assessment of the whole affair, there are reports that the contractual terms are not the same for both of them and the former Super Bowl winner earns less than the veteran media personality. There are also reports that they do not get an equal say in choosing topics of discussion and debate.
However, Shannon Sharpe's social media activity has indicated that there is a personal rift that goes beyond contractual disputes. While he has not directly addressed the matter, the NFL legend has liked tweets that have cast Skip Bayless as being jealous of his success without him.
The former Denver Broncos great is expected to stay on 'Undisputed' until the NBA Finals are over before leaving the show. There has been no indication of where he will turn up next, though a lot of loyal fans have vouched to follow him wherever he goes. Furthermore, who 'Undisputed' is getting in return to replace Sharpe has also not yet been revealed.
