A report from the New York Post noted the retired star cornerback and budding media personality is considered a “top candidate” to fill the seat vacated by Shannon Sharpe’s departure in late May. While FS1 has yet to name Sharpe’s replacement, the idea of Sherman and Bayless teaming up seemed to already drum up interest as many wondered how the pair would work out.
