Former NFL star and ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson finds himself in the headlines once again. Despite being laid off amidst a mass exodus at ESPN, Johnson stands tall, proudly showcasing his $18 million earnings. It was evident from the beginning that Johnson’s departure from ESPN would not be a tearful goodbye.

Last week, the New York Post reported that his popular morning show on ESPN Radio was coming to an end. Alongside him, they also handed a pink slip to fellow host Max Kellerman. But rather than succumbing to disappointment, Johnson has proved that success knows no bounds.

Keyshawn’s lucrative deal subdues ESPN layoff

ESPN, the top sports media house, has made waves in the news due to a significant round of layoffs. Resulting in the termination of 20 esteemed sports reporters and analysts. 

While Johnson’s exit from ESPN may have seemed like a setback. Last year, Johnson inked a lucrative five-year contract worth approximately $18 million. Despite his abrupt departure from ESPN, Keyshawn Johnson can take solace in the fact that he will be able to collect the entire amount of his deal. This financial cushion provides a silver lining amidst the disappointment of losing his role at the prominent sports network.

From ESPN radio to FS1’s ‘Undisputed’

After his departure from ESPN, sources speculate that Johnson could replace Shannon Sharpe in Undisputed. Such a transition would require Johnson to relinquish his substantial buyout, but it could open doors to new opportunities.

Johnson’s undeniable talent and natural charisma make him an ideal candidate for a show like Undisputed. Where lively debates and insightful analysis are the order of the day, Johnson and Bayless engaging in heated discussions would pull in viewers and stir up excitement. The potential move to FS1’s Undisputed presents an enticing opportunity for Johnson to reinvent himself.
