Contract negotiations are a hot topic, especially when Barstool Sports personalities are involved.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBussin\u2019 With the Boys\u201d podcast hosts Will Compton<\/strong> and Taylor Lewan<\/strong> are in the middle of negotiating a new deal with the media company and while it might have hurt their chances to win Surviving Barstool<\/em> season 4, it also raised questions about the former NFL stars\u2019 future at Barstool.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, the \u2018Bussin\u2019 With the Boys\u2019 crew is in a negotiation for a bag on the next contract,\u201d Compton shared during his Surviving Barstool<\/em><\/a> confessional in January 2025. \u201cYou gotta think, if you\u2019re Dave [Portnoy]<\/strong> and Dan [\u201cBig Cat\u201d Katz]<\/strong>, you can\u2019t have the \u2018Bussin With the Boys\u2019 guys running wild, winning $250K.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former football player, who won season 3 in 2024, was voted off the show shortly after his cohost, Lewan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning a quarter of a million dollars and then potentially throwing the deuces to us at the end of the year,\u201d Compton continued. \u201cSo, my hat goes off. Tip of the cap. Dave, Big Cat, great game boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGetty Images (3) Barstool Sports is (almost) always making headlines for something \u2014 and they are arguably well-paid to do just that. Grace O\u2019Malley announced her departure from the company in December 2024 after a friendship breakup from longtime bestie Brianna \u201cChickenfry\u201d LaPaglia (more about that, here) and has since spilled the tea on what [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Compton, a former NFL linebacker, signed with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He joined the Tennessee Titans in 2018 for one year before signing with the New Orleans Saints in 2019 and later the Las Vegas Raiders. He went back to the Titans for a second stint in 2020 before returning to the Raiders in late 2021. By September 2023, Compton announced his retirement<\/a> from professional football.<\/p>\n

Lewan, meanwhile, was drafted as a tackle for the Titans in 2014 and remained with the organization for the duration of his career, which came to an end in 2023 after being out for the 2022 season with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

When Did \u2018Bussin\u2019 With the Boys\u2019 Join Barstool?<\/h3>\n

Compton and Lewan launched the podcast with the Barstool Sports network in 2019.<\/p>\n

How Much Money Do the \u2018Bussin\u2019 With the Boys\u2019 Podcast Hosts Make?<\/h3>\n

Compton spoke about the deals he and Lewan made with Barstool during an April 2024 episode of the \u201cNext Up With Adam\u201d podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, [Barstool said] we\u2019ll go 50\/50, you guys get the IP. We said no, but we\u2019ll go 60\/40 and the minute we eclipse $1 million it goes up to 70\/30 [in] our favor,\u201d the former athlete explained. \u201cThey were on board with it, then I was like, \u2018F\u2014, I think we f\u2014ing played ourselves.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Their \u201csecond deal\u201d with the company was considered a \u201ccompetitive offer,\u201d meaning they couldn\u2019t shop their show around. Compton said he and Lewan have since made a \u201cbeneficial\u201d partnership with Barstool.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe, personally, I wanted to resign with Barstool. I think they are the best brand for us at this point in time,\u201d Compton said. \u201cWe end up settling on a $3 million m.g. per year. We have the upside with that, every dollar made after $3 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is \u2018Bussin\u2019 With The Boys\u2019 Renewing Their Barstool Sports Contract?<\/h3>\n

After Compton expressed that the \u201cBussin\u2019 With the Boys\u201d cohosts were in the middle of contract negotiations on Surviving Barstool<\/em>, Big Cat confirmed the former NFL star\u2019s speculation.<\/p>\n

\u201cDave and I didn\u2019t want Taylor or Will to win $250,000 cash on Barstool\u2019s networks and then be, like, \u2018Oh, by the way we\u2019re leaving for a competitor,\u2019 two seconds later,\u201d Big Cat said during a January 2025 episode of the competition series.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tStars from Hollywood, sports, comedy and beyond are finding huge financial success as they continue to share stories behind the microphone. With more and more pop culture consumers around the world streaming podcasts as voraciously as music, TV and film, companies like Spotify, SiriusXM and Amazon are willing to pay big bucks to secure top-tier [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Portnoy spoke further about this during an episode of \u201cThe Unnamed Podcast\u201d<\/a> that same month.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the time of filming [Surviving Barstool] I thought we were going to resign them, but going in, I knew that they were evaluating,\u201d the Barstool Sports founder noted. \u201cThey had an offer. They were like, \u2018We\u2019re going to look at the world, see what it is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Portnoy \u201cdid not want\u201d to hand one of them $250,000 from the game win and have them leave the company. When asked during the same podcast episode if Compton and Lewan were leaving the company, Portnoy played coy. \u201cI\u2019m gonna let them handle it how they want to handle it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

During the\u00a0Surviving Barstool\u00a0<\/em>finale in January 2025, the question remained unanswered.<\/p>\n
