Former NFL star Will Compton says he was denied access to the Kansas City Chiefs official Super Bowl H๏τel by the team on Tuesday. 

What Compton was doing at the New Orleans Marriott on Canal Street, the downtown oasis where the Chiefs are staying this week, is unclear. 

Compton is now well known for being a co-host of the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast with fellow former NFL player Taylor Lewan. 

Lewan and Compton made noise last month as their show was announced to be leaving Barstool by owner Dave Portnoy. 

Their destination has not been publicly disclosed as of yet, but the duo and their successful show are reportedly headed to FanDuel. 

Compton nor Lewan ever played a snap for the Chiefs. Compton played for five NFL teams including the now-Washington Commanders from 2013 through 2017.

Portnoy said he made the ‘most aggressive move’ to retain talent since Barstool’s founding to keep Compton and Lewan on-board.

The amount offered by Portnoy was not enough to keep the former NFL duo around.

‘It sucks, I told Bussin’ I made what I think was my most aggressive move to keep them. But this is the world that we’re in, really, and we’ve been in,’ Portnoy said. 

‘Whether it’s Jenna Marbles, [Alex] Cooper, [Pat] McAfee, them, Caleb [Pressley], there’s always more value for a company taking talent than already here. But they’re like [Jared] Carrabis times a million. They got an offer that was so big, it’s like I can’t [match].’ 

‘Almost everybody who leaves Barstool says when they leave, “You better make us an offer that isn’t even close to what they are because we want to stay.”‘

‘Will wants to stay, Taylor wants to stay, but it’s a compliment to Barstool. People just pillage us. They can’t build people up, they can’t make the stars, it’s Saturday Night Live. We make stars. And if we paid those guys what they wanted, and we paid Cooper what [she] wanted, and we paid McAfee, we wouldn’t have a company.’ 

The Chiefs nor the NFL have commented on Compton trying to get into the Marriott. 

Kansas City is dialed in on trying to win its third consecutive Super Bowl, facing the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
