Keyshawn Johnson will be Skip Bayless’ new full-time partner on FS1’s “Undisputed” after Johnson reached agreement on a settlement of his $18 million contract with ESPN, The Post has learned.
Johnson is expected to start on Monday.
Earlier in the week, Bayless announced Johnson would be part of the show’s new team that includes contributors Richard Sherman, Michael Irvin and Rachel Nichols.
…Between the buyout with ESPN and the new deal with FS1, Johnson will make the same amount and will retain his audio rights, meaning he could still do radio or a podcast elsewhere, according to sources.
