It seems Shannon Sharpe won’t be away from the morning sports talk show circuit for long.
The Hall of Fame tight end — who gave a tearful farewell during his final day on FS1’s “Undisputed” last Tuesday — revealed Monday that he will return to morning television “soon.”
“l’m enjoying my early morning workouts, late breakfast, and break from wearing a suit every morning… But just for a little while,” Sharpe wrote on Twitter.
“I’ll be back on [TV] in the mornings soon.”
Sharpe’s post also included a collage of photos that featured him walking while dressed in a gray sweatsuit with a satchel bag across his back.
Later in the day Monday, Sharpe sent a thumbs-up emoji to someone who asked if he’ll be back on television soon.
The 54-year-old Sharpe did not disclose his next on-air steps.
For now, though, he’s enjoying his mornings that are no longer filled with tense debates across the table from Skip Bayless.
The Post first reported on May 31 that Sharpe was leaving “Undisputed,” with his final show set to air at the conclusion of the 2023 NBA Finals.
The news of Sharpe’s exit came after weeks of rumored tension between the now-former co-hosts.
Sharpe ended his seven-year run with Bayless the day after the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5 on June 12.
Although it remains to be seen where Sharpe will land, the former NFL star indicated during his final “Undisputed” appearance that his television days aren’t over.
“You’ll see me again somewhere, I just don’t know where,” he told Bayless.
Sharpe joined FS1 in 2016, two years after exiting CBS.
On Wednesday, Sharpe shared a video montage of his last day at FS1, which included a champagne toast backstage, where he told his team, “It’s not the end, but the beginning.”
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky replied to Sharpe’s video on Twitter with a Dr. Evil meme and the caption, “Come join us!” — seemingly recruiting him to the media giant.
Sharpe liked the tweet but didn’t directly respond to Orlovsky.
Pat McAfee, whose $85 million deal with ESPN begins in the fall, also recruited Sharpe to the company.
