Guest backgrounds
No external guests appear in this transcript. Hosts are Chad Ochocinco Johnson (former NFL receiver; Pro Bowler/All-Pro; “Ring of Fame honoree”) and “Unc” (the other co-host, not further identified in the transcript).
Key claims
The hosts frame Sharpe’s induction as deeply meaningful because of family legacy and long overdue recognition, highlighting the emotional impact on Sharpe and his family. For Parsons, they argue Jerry Jones mishandled negotiations by isolating Parsons’ agent, publicly criticizing availability/injury risk, and using leverage tactics (fifth-year option/franchise-tag leverage). They also criticize Jones for bringing up Dez Bryant as an example.

Parsons’ statement: “I no longer want to play for the Cowboys” and “My trade request has been submitted.” Jones’ comments about agents and contract “one-sided” rules.

3:46To have my sister and my coach, who coached both of us, coached my entire family,
3:53Shannon Sharpe:my kids there, my sister-in-law and my niece, Susan and Summer, there to witness that and to experience that, Ocho, man. And that's a great feeling, boy. man Ocho man I can't it's hard for me to describe Ocho and and I knew I would be emotional even though I had already you know I was his presenter and I had already done my part video so I did that a couple of weeks before and so I thought but the more he talked the more he talked and when he says I only have a couple of minutes left but the last couple of minutes i won't i won't i want you you gotta come up here yeah and when he called and when he called me to the stage and and i had no idea what he was gonna say he you know he didn't write anything down he was the only one that didn't have notes he didn't have anything he said i'm just gonna speak from the heart um that's how you know that's pretty much how he does all is speaking and to hear him say that everything he did was for an audience he didn't care what you wrote about him he didn't care what you said about him none of that mattered because the only person that he wanted to impress was me everything that he did was because of me And to hear him say, you know, you know, you can't lead without without without following.
5:31Shannon Sharpe:And to hear. Him, because it's almost like I'm like. Is replaying the very the very words and how I felt about him, how I feel about him and to hear him say that. And to know the relationship that he and I have. And I think people got an opportunity to see that on full display. Even on Friday night at the Gold Jacket presentation when, you know, you walk the gauntlet, you go through all the Hall of Famers. And we had almost a record, Joe. We had 111 members back. Now, mind you, of 382, my brother is the 382nd member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And if I'm not mistaken, I think there are 181 living members.
6:16Okay.
6:16Shannon Sharpe:so that means they're over they're 200 201 that are no longer with us talking to bobby bell this morning getting on the plane he's 115 there's only six with a lower number than him that's still remaining so and then you know you know seeing all that but to be there and to experience it yeah ocho my brother's really not an emotional guy like i said i think i've only a handful of times and like you said when Papa died he didn't cry when daddy died he didn't cry when granny passed he didn't cry
6:58Shannon Sharpe:but to be in his presence and to know what this moment meant to him my brother don't let a whole lot of things bother him
7:11Shannon Sharpe:but to be around him because I know him better than anybody I know him better than anybody I know what this moment meant to him I know what he felt I am I supposed to say hell I thought he was going to pick you up off the floor at the gold jacket ceremony I said yeah and throw his back out in the process but Ocho man to see how he was walking around and to see the love and the kudos that he was getting from those other gold jacket wears and the members and at his party and and to have the bust and to have his family um because we don't get we don't like i said ocho we don't get together much and and and i said we bro we got to do a better job of that i say look when you really cut it down to i say us is me you mama and libby my kids and you know susan and some i said we got to do a better job bro we got to do a better job i said you know theoretically mom could not still outlive us long but come on we can do a better job than what we've been doing but ocho that was that was the crown of the chiefs there ain't nothing topping that ain't nothing topping that ocho because there there's there's if you play a sport to go into your sports heaven and that's what the Hall of Fame is.
8:35Shannon Sharpe:Be it baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, swimming, rock and roll Hall of Fame. If you go into your professions, heaven, that's what the Hall of Fame is. When you get there, okay. Now that's it. That's it. Man, I cried. I've been up all night.
9:02the
9:05Shannon Sharpe:the love and the respect that was shown to my brother man I already listened I already know Jordan posted so much stuff I'm like well damn I'm looking at my feed did you go to sleep you posted in the middle of the night every time collab collab Somebody sent me something. They didn't have your information. You saw this photo gallery I sent you? Uh-uh. You just sent me something? No, this was a few days ago. Remember? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They didn't have your information. Shoot, they sent me the whole photo gallery. Oh, man. It's that moment, bro. And riding in the parade and everybody.
9:54Shannon Sharpe:Because the Packers traveled really well. And to see some of his teammates. because I don't know if you noticed, Ocho, when he sat down with me, I didn't know this at the time. I didn't. I didn't know. He never shared this. So what he said on the pod was the first time. When he had his neck surgery, no one called him. Not a teammate, not a coach, not a front office. We call hell getting him to accept them doing this party. I said, because what I told him, I said, now you have to understand the people that's in place now weren't in place then i said now i'm not saying that your anger isn't warranted i said but in this situation it's misplaced the people that you should be upset with they were there and i didn't know like i said ocho i didn't know that i did Ocho DeMatt, there's a chance that he could have been paralyzed from neck down.
11:04Shannon Sharpe:He could have been a quadriplegic. Now, mind you, last season he still has tied for the third most receiving touchdowns in a single season, and he never played another season. So he goes under the knife and not – just imagine, Ocho, you go through a surgery that you could be paralyzed or worse the owner a coach a teammate not even tj not carson not the general manager not your head coach not even you jack no one calls you and checks on you well listen that is it that tells you all you need to know though. You hear me? Think about the people you just named. Think about the people you just named.
11:54Nothing is even wrong with me and everybody you just named I talk to at least three times a month. I am of no value to Marvin Lewis anymore. I'm of no value to Hugh Jackson anymore. Hell, TJ, me and TJ, we in a group chat with about 20 bangles. That's a constant form of communication. but that would hurt so bad
12:22Shannon Sharpe:the people that I went to war with the people that I'm playing for not giving me a call with the extent of my injury with a chance I could be paralyzed and I can't play ball no more and nobody reached out not a flower, not a motherfucking card I'm sorry but so I think that that bothered him the most and uh he still i was like bro you know and and he he's finally like like letting it go because my my brother you know he you know he he's he don't hit you over the head with it but carries his bible he goes to church he reads the scripture so he's and so he's learned ocho that i i've got to let this go he says i can't be what i'm proclaiming to be if i still have this in my heart.
13:14Shannon Sharpe:And so, uh, but it was, it was, it was tough for him. Um, I'm number, I'm member two 67. He's member three 82. Um,
13:28Shannon Sharpe:I think they said over 30 ,000 men have played this game, coached this game on the team, been a general manager, 30 ,000, 382 men have a gold jacket they said over 300 what is it 300 million men have played the game of football let that's thinking on your 300 million so my mom my mom was like i got two boys talking about i probably need to scan i might have another son out there somewhere i said you don't you don't you ain't got another son you ain't got another daughter I promise you this is all you got you got what you got daddy hey you told daddy shop was closed after me you say hey when they ask you they say uh uh Alice what you want daddy I don't give a damn if it's a lizard I'm done so you got what you got mama that's it uh but she was happy my father my coach uh coach hall like i said you know he was there coached all my uncles my uncle started started graduating high school in 1966 1966 i graduated 86 he taught for 50 years uh and having him there but ocho i don't know if you saw this.
15:00Shannon Sharpe:I know you couldn't pick it up, but at the gold jacket ceremony, what they did, they started doing, I don't know when they started it, this is my first time back since 2019, is that obviously you walk the gauntlet, you know, so you have four guys, two walk this way, two guys walk that way, and you got all the Hall of Fames, and they give you, hey, congratulations, welcome to the fraternity, welcome to the brotherhood. Then you get up on stage, and then I was really the only presenter that was actually there. Dean Spanos, who presented no, his dad. Yeah, his dad was there. I think his dad was there.
15:36Shannon Sharpe:Jared Allen's dad was there. Put the coat on him. Marcus put the coat on Eric Allen. And then LT, LaDain and Thomason, put it on Gates, Antonio Gates. But anyway, they come up, they bring your family out, they let your kid, your wife come up, your kids come up, your mom, X, Y, and Z. So Jared Allen family, Jared Allen family comes up there and And everybody, he's excited. You know, his wife is excited. The girls come running to him. I think one of his daughters had on cowboy boots. So he cowboy. But anyway, you know, he got his signature boot, Ocho. You know what he do? He calf rope. He go down on one knee and hit the calf tied up and walk.
16:16Shannon Sharpe:He go down on one knee, calf rope that thing. They just pants. so where I am I can see I was like I think he ripped his pants from the back of his knee all the way up to the top of his belt yeah so now they got to rush over they got to rush over because the hotel is really close by where they were staying they got to rush over get a police escort and get him a pair of pants that's funny that's funny There's a clip out there And I know we didn't get a chance to vet it And we don't know who it belongs to But there's a clip out there And you can see him He grabbed the back At first I thought he had tweeted I said damn you had tweeted your hamstring You don't do no But then as he started to move I was like nah bro You ripped him And he really did But it was great Like I said I know Gates Gates my guy He's like a little brother to me And to see played against Eric Allen I played against EA in Philly and when he was at the Raiders because he was chasing me in the end zone.
17:27Shannon Sharpe:And who else? Jared Allen. Jared retired. He came to Kansas City the year I retired. And who else? EA, Gates. That was it. No, who else? Oh, yeah, I obviously played against my brother twice. But, oh, Joe, it was unbelievable. They're doing so much. They're building it up now. they're trying to do more for the players that are in the Hall of Fame but it's an unbelievable experience and that's dope that's live I don't know what I did to deserve all this what you've done for my family but I appreciate it we got a big story the biggest story I need my chapstick I need my back to me go ahead go ahead
18:24Shannon Sharpe:yeah man
18:31Shannon Sharpe:there's a lot of verbiage
18:38yeah
18:38Shannon Sharpe:yeah
18:43Shannon Sharpe:it's gonna probably it's gonna take us a couple of minutes to get through all this verbiage.
18:52Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to start to read as Ocho is coming back. And this is Micah and Jerry. They've kind of been going back and forth over the weekend. Micah posted a lengthy message on social media on Friday, concluding with a statement that he no longer wants to play for the Cowboys. Yes, I wanted to be there. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make America's team proud, MERS team once again. The team, my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. He is from Harrisburg, Ocho.
19:29Shannon Sharpe:You know, normally Harrisburg, normally that's Steelers or Eagles country. A lot of people like the Steelers up in Harrisburg. But hey, if you're in Pennsylvania and you root for the Eagles, I mean, you got two teams. But if you root for the Eagles, I ain't going to hold that against you. If you root for the Steelers, I'm not going to hold that against you. But think about it. He and Steelers ego territory and he and his pops are Cowboys fans. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here. I no longer want to be held held to a closed door negotiation without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization.
20:04Shannon Sharpe:I fans my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me. I knew I would be leaving money on the table. But again, I was OK with that. Again, radio silence, my extension in March, I met with Mr. Jones to talk about leadership. Somehow the conversation turned into him talking about contract with me. Yes, I engaged back and forth in regards to what I wanted from my contract. But at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a form of negotiation. And I informed Mr. Jones after. Hmm. Major would reach out thinking we'll get things done. I stayed quiet. But again, after repeated shots at myself and all these narratives, I made a tough decision.
20:44Shannon Sharpe:I no longer want to play for the Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally. Ocho, take off. What's your take on this? I just don't understand. It's one thing for owners to think a certain way, to not really value the people that the players that lay it all on the line for you, but you have a certain way of conducting yourself. You already have a history of things that are frowned upon when it comes to us anyway, way, way back. I don't need to bring that up, but to continue to show us during the Kaepernick era time as well, the one owner that came out and said, all our players will be standing up.
21:26Hold a line. Hold a line if you play for my team. And just to see how he conducts business and the way he does business, despite being the most profitable franchise of all sports, the way he did CD, the way he did Ezekiel Elliott, the way he did Dak, now the way he's doing Micah Parsons, this time even going a little further across the line and talking about him in a way like, well, even if we do pay him, he might not be available like he was last year. You don't say that. You don't say stuff like that as the owner when he's busting his ass for you and your team. Obviously, do what his job is and what you pay him to do.
22:08Injuries are a part of a sport, but to hear your owner, the one who signed the check, to say it and to say how he really feels publicly to the world, that's the kind of stuff like it gets out, it slips out because somebody recorded it. Somebody stuck a conversation, but he just like proudly.
22:24Shannon Sharpe:He blurted it out. Let him know how he feels about you. How could you want to line up and put that hat on? How could you want to wear that star? outside of just doing it for the money. See? If we're talking about Ocho, that's why I like to have somebody because he might have told the agent that, but the agent never would have come back and told me or you that. Exactly, why you never want to be a part of negotiations because the real them comes out and the agent never discloses that because you will be upset. Everybody will be upset on how they feel about you because when it comes to business, they are shrewd.
22:58Shannon Sharpe:Right. This is what they do. this is not what you do. I don't have a problem. I think Bobby Wagner was one of the first ones that says, you know, I no longer have an agent. I'm going to negotiate my own contract. I think Sherm did that. I think we saw Lamar and his mom negotiate their own contract. I don't have a problem with that. If you says I'm going to be my own representative, I'm going to engage in these talks with whomever, be it Jerry, Steven, or whomever is doing this contract negotiations. I'm cool with that but if I tell you I have representation don't try to get isolate me and back back though you know buddy buddy buddy that's why I have representation because this is what they do I'm giving him a percentage of the total contract because I want him to negotiate on my behalf so that's why Jerry had him going all these places hey Michael come on fly on the plane because he's trying to...
23:51Shannon Sharpe:Now, if Michael says, you know what, Jerry? You're right. I can do this on my own. And then that way I don't have to give David, his agent, I won't have to give him 2%, 3%, or whatever the case may be, whatever he charges. I just keep that for myself. But that's not what Michael said. Michael says, hey, I have an agent. He's like, I thought this was the start of the negotiation. Hey, hey, David Muguleta is looking forward to hearing from you. told him we had a great conversation he'll take it from here jerry thought they had a done deal no no no no no hey but but this is this is the part i understand this goes for everybody also in the chat you have certain players you have special players that come along we i call them no-brainers i call them players that are no-brainers when they come in when they get drafted that when you watch him play year to year, it's a no-brainer when it's time to pay him.
24:51Micah Parsons is a no-brainer. The Jamar Cases are no-brainers. The Justin Jefferson are no-brainers. Amar Ross St. Brown, I'm just using receivers for perspective. Those are no-brainers. There's no reason to play a game when it comes to a player of that magnitude. Even if they're – whatever the books may say. Stuff like that, well, you know what? We have one player on defense. It's our superstar. the ball should have been rolling out the season could have started in another three weeks why are we still talking about contract with the no brainer
25:26Shannon Sharpe:yeah because think about it what it cost to bingers it cost them an extra six million dollars a year or next to 24 million dollars over four years because you waited a year it probably cost you an extra 30 million dollars in guarantees because you waited an extra year so you have to pay a tax you have to pay a penalty if you're late let me ask you a question. If you late on your rent, you pay a penalty. If you late, if you got something at the court and you're late, if you owe Uncle Sam, there's a penalty for being late. If you negotiate my contract late, there is a penalty for said service. Now, with all that being said, Jerry didn't have to say any of that, but Jerry's just going to show you.

26:10Shannon Sharpe:Now, Jerry, he's got to let you know who's in charge. We already know. because it is reported that as the representative has been trying to reach out, Jerry ain't returning no calls. Absolutely. To prove a point. One point he's trying to prove, I have no idea. I run this show. I'm going to pay you when I get ready. Like you do me. Like you do me over here in Finland. You basically told me I'm going to pay you when I get ready. I didn't say that. I mean, I told you. No, no, no, your actions did. I'm not going to take care of you, baby. I'm not Jerry. I don't like that comparison. Don't do me like that.
26:47Don't do me like that.
26:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, we coming up on a year. It's a penalty for being late. I got you. I got one thing about it. You know what? I got you, bitch. See, you got it, but I need to get it. Right, right. You know, hey, you know. I got light right now, Ocho. I got light right now. I'm just saying, I got light. I got light. that's why I love you that's what I love that's what I need come on back home that's what I need thank you that's the standing I need let's go we gonna be alright but we gonna be alright I'm telling you we good Ty Trippin said we gonna be alright and Micah Micah said well you back me in the corner What the hell?
27:40Shannon Sharpe:I don't even be here no more. Hey, if you think, I'll tell you what, if you upset talking about I might not be here, I miss this game, trade me. See what the market is and trade me. Listen, but hey, if Jerry was to play, obviously you know he's not going to do that. Boy, you know Micah could reset the market by what? Oh, he's going to reset the market anyway. He might get 50. I mean, I'm... I definitely believe he can get 45. Easy. I believe he can get 45. whatever Miles Garrett got in guaranteed money. I think Miles got 123. He can go 140. But this is the only part I don't like is whatever team he goes to, it wouldn't be a contender.
28:22It'd be a team that has a lot of room, a lot of salary cap room, so they'll be able to pay him that.
28:28Shannon Sharpe:Eagles will trade for it. That's not fair. The commanders are definitely trade for it. The commanders, the Eagles, that's not fair. That's not fair. If he was to go to the Eagles and they gave up whatever compensation they would want for Michael Parsons, then you might as well hand him the goddamn Lombardi now. Just go ahead and give it to him. Well, what Jerry said, he worried about him missing time. He won't have to worry about him. He don't have to worry about paying him, and he ain't got to worry about him getting injured and missing time on his dime. So with that being said, but like, and at some point in time, it's just like, bro, what are we doing here?
29:00Shannon Sharpe:I get it. I get it. You own the team. You said, hey, I'm in my fifth year. We could have did something after year four. I mean, year three. We could have done something after year four. So now we're into the option. You picked up my fifth-year player option. That's where we are right now? After four Pro Bowls, two, three first-team All-Pros, defensive risk the other year? 12 sacks, four years in a row. Come on, man. So is that what we're doing right now, Jerry? Really? Really, that's what we're doing? Listen, I can't say it couldn't be me because I'm just trying to... Jerry said this is negotiating, Ocho.
29:39He said we're negotiating now. But it's a shrewd business. It's a shrewd business. And the fact that he let his feelings out publicly like that, it says all you need to know. It says all you need to know.
29:53Shannon Sharpe:I understand. I think you and I, look, we've played sports and we've been in the... We negotiate. When negotiation gets personal, you got to be careful, Ocho. You got to be careful. in any type of negotiation whatever the case may be if it starts to get personal one side will start to build up a resentment towards the other side right and then even when he gets the money they still feel a certain way and then the other person that gave you the money still feels a certain type of way the funny thing about it is regardless for us as the player we're never in a position of leverage we're never in a position of power hour but what it does is unless you unless unless you like you know what you turn out to be you be like damn i'm balling i'm rook defense rookie of the year i'm all pro and i really just sit on my money and i'm i'm willing to say okay y 'all playing i see y 'all week eight so i can get that i'll see y 'all week eight so i get that best of year come in give me another quick eight sacks Now what y 'all gonna do?
31:00Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all play, y 'all play, I play. Yeah. But see, that's the thing. If you didn't have, see, Jerry knows he had leverage. He has a fifth year player option, which is this year. And he has two franchise tags. So just imagine, just imagine, see, Dak, you see what Dak wrote in his contract? No franchise tags. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But he. No franchise tag. He can do that. Hey. Put that in there. Hey, no, you can't franchise me. Because that's the leverage that they got. Because I got, theoretically, Mike, I got you for this year and two more. Damn. That's a, it's unbelievable the game, the game that they play.
31:50You already know how they feel, right? You already know how they feel about you, you know? it's one thing that they say and I hate to bring it up because the first thing when you compare the NFL to a certain term they want to use the first thing people bring up well you get paid millions but it's modern day you know what but you get paid millions you know but that's neat to hear no there but just to hear Jerry say it just the fact that he uttered the words with confidence out of caring the world about your star player and then he took a shot at Dak what are we doing
32:31Shannon Sharpe:well look Dak realized he's the quarterback Dak is the leader of the team yes but he and Jerry it's not like see Jerry had a relationship with Tony Romo Dak is always high as opposed Jerry because it was Jerry that wanted to give Tony Romo his job back that wouldn't happen oh he he got he kind of got you know Steven and I think Jason Garrett and a few others like Jerry what are you doing what are you are you serious
33:10Shannon Sharpe:even after all those injuries that that uh Tony Romo he paid it ain't mentioned nothing about no injury ain't mentioned nothing about that and at one point in time Tony Romo was a high-paid player in the NFL hey when I blink it funny thing about that Jerry also spoke to reporters about Michael Trey requests let's take a listen to what Jerry had to say
33:51Thank you.
34:20Thank you.
34:55See?
35:02See? See? See? See?
35:35man he says something very interesting he says michael's on the contract but what about when
35:41Shannon Sharpe:players on the contract they get cut you know they don't care especially don't you see how one-sided he's talking oh we have contract we have rules but the rules are one-sided if i outperform the contract on a new contract you say whoa whoa you under contract if i underperform the contract that i signed you say you got to go you you see this is what this is what players should be this is why they fight so hard to try to get guaranteed money this is what you should be instead of petty privileges instead of worrying about two a days and worry about how many padded practices you have during the course of the year these are the things that true leadership in the NFLPA, this is what you should be fighting for.
36:19Shannon Sharpe:I'm getting rid of. No, we're not doing no franchise tag. Look, if I'm at a normal job and my contract is coming up, they can't say, well, we're going to franchise you, and if I work for Google, that means I can't go talk to Apple or I can't go talk to Microsoft. No. Free agency, how can you be free? If you can't, you under tag, they got a tag on you. Free agency means I'm free to negotiate wherever. And there can't be a cap because whatever the market will bear. I just saw Mark Zuckerberg just pay a guy, AI guy,$250 million, gave him$100 million up front. That's what free agency is. all I'm saying is I just hope the next person at the NFL PA this is some of the things health benefits no franchise tag no franchise contracts yeah man because you can't have it both ways you can negotiate with me when you want to but you can also cut me when you want to.
37:44Shannon Sharpe:So if I outperformed the contract, you say you got a contract. I underperformed the contract. You didn't perform up to the standard. And so now you got, you got to be careful. They need somebody. All right. I know you think you view me, you view me as the fun, the love, the entertainment, the jokes and the laughter, but they need somebody shrewd. That could be shrewd right back. When it comes to conducting business, you got to be someone that's fighting for the players, not minimizing the players and pretending like I'm for you, but really siding on the other end. Man, listen, you know how we talk.
38:18The NFL owners don't want to lose the leverage. Baseball, players have the leverage. Basketball, the players have the leverage. All sports where contracts are guaranteed, the players have the leverage. I think because so many players on a team, NFL owners don't want to lose the leverage of the players. Right.
38:38Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I'm glad. Guess what? And I don't know when this back injury, hey, and I ain't putting no Ben Gay on it either. So I don't know when this back issue, because it flares up. Every time I go to put that helmet on, my back's starting to hurt, don't you? Every time. He could play hardball. He could play hardball. But listen, with owners, GMs, everyone that sits in a position of power on the NFL team, what they will use against you is they know you're probably full before I do because you love the game. You love the game They're banking on it You're going to fold before they do So you got to play hardball How hard do you want to play the game?
39:23Because they're going to play with you They're going to test you
39:29Yeah You see how agitated he got? I negotiated a mark I answered the question already No, Michael said
39:38Shannon Sharpe:he thought you were talking about leadership. He referred you to his agent. You asking me? Yeah, we're asking you. But we talked to Michael too. Listen, can you imagine a chat? I don't mean, I'm not into, really into hypotheticals because you imagine if Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman ran the Cowboys? Can you imagine if they were the ones in charge? With the talent that they had? Because they drafted like the second, they drafted like the second most since, what, 2014, maybe the second, they might be first with the Chiefs as far as a Pro Bowl player. Imagine. Because. How many times they've been the number one seed and got bounced in the first round or the second round?
40:20Shannon Sharpe:With that talent. Hold on. When they had the best running back in football, Zeke Elliott, the best offensive line in football.
40:31Shannon Sharpe:And when they were putting eight, nine, ten guys into the Pro Bowl.
40:39Shannon Sharpe:when they had those teams with Romo and Witten and T.O. And they had DeMarcus Ware and they had all those guys. Boy, it was nice, but they were loaded. They were loaded. But I think I'm not sure why Jerry can't get it or can't see it. Jerry won't credit. You look at the Patriots, right? Look at all the teams that are successful every season. Every season, the Patriots, their dynasty and their good years. You had Belichick. You had Tom Brady. Forget that part. Where did it start? Mr. Kraft. And the only time you heard from Mr. Kraft is when he was taking the trophy out of Rodney Goodell's name.
41:17Shannon Sharpe:Everything starts at the top. Winning starts from the front office, and it trickles all the way down. Right. But Jerry wants it to be about him. That's why people are like, oh, Tom Brady should go to the Cowboys. Tom Brady say Jerry I'll play for you for a million dollars and Jerry would have told him hell no because Jerry would never be bigger than Tom and Jerry don't want nobody to be on the Cowboys to be bigger than him so that's not going to happen I don't get why he's doing it like this but look they go I guess this is their you know you have a negotiation in the media and when it should be negotiated behind closed doors oh well x y v we negotiated we had we had a deal done michael said well hey i want hey i don't even want to play for y 'all no more let me let me go hey let me continue to do this on purpose because it does what it keeps whose team in the head in the media we're talking about yeah because ain't nobody i mean are we i mean the only other team that we talk about to me is cleveland and shanuel we really if you really think about it though cho we really having a discussion about We talk here and there about the bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin.
42:37I was just reading a little bit about Matthew Stafford got something going on with his back or something.
42:44Shannon Sharpe:But for the most part, Ocho, it's the Cowboys, the Micah, Jerry, and you got your door. It's been a relative quiet training camp cycle. and you know Jerry's like hey let me start some ish like hey ain't enough popping out for us right now let me start some ish and to see where this thing goes the funny thing about it what I don't like is for Micah I feel bad for Micah I feel bad for the Cowboys the fans I feel bad for the players because to know that this is how your owner thinks of you if you can talk about your star players like that you really know what he thinks about you And Jerry is at a forefront in letting people know nobody runs this show with me and nobody bigger than my program.
43:38Yeah.
43:40Shannon Sharpe:Well, look, even the team, Jerry, just so you know, every team gets a check cut for$432 million. So it's not like you're doing an outstanding job because you're not. it sells itself at this point it does just like all the other team all the other teams sell themselves granted now when it comes to the local market they probably don't do what jerry does because it's dallas you know obviously they don't sell in jacksonville or cincinnati or houston or tennessee like they do okay fine but they're not gonna be they're not gonna be in the line tomorrow either. But just keep doing it that way. He going to get tired of Philly.
44:27Shannon Sharpe:He going to get tired of Philly and Washington running the divisions. He going to get tired. It's been 30 years. If he was going to get tired of it, he would have already picked up on how everyone else is doing things. He's continuing to do it his way. He's setting his ways at this. Of course. He's not going to change. If I was the owner of any team, I'd be taking notes. Okay, this is what Kraft did. This is what Belichick did. Okay, this is what Howie and Jeff did. This is what Clark Hunt and Andy Reid, how they handle business. Let me see the Roonies. The Roonies had success during this era.
44:57All right, we're in a different era, but let me see if I can steal some of the things that they did and how they conducted business. Let me add this to my – it came up with my own game plan, my own formula on how to conduct things, draft right, pay early, keep certain – man,
45:13Shannon Sharpe:boy. That's what they do. They pay early. you an identified guy. We drafted him. He's a homegrown guy. Let's get him in year three. You know, they got Karloftis. It's going to take a pretty penny to get McDuffie signed. Are they going to sign McDuffie? Could you let LeJarious Sneed? Yeah, they're not going to let him go. They're not going to let him go. Later in the presser, Jerry tried to use Dez Bryant negotiation as reasoning for not wanting to work with Michael Parsons agent. Let's take a listen to what Jerry said about this.
46:12Damn.
46:31Shannon Sharpe:I know Jared What does that have to do with any goddamn thing He said the reason why I don't like working with agents because the agent told me that this client was going to be on time. That's what he told me. He said, I'm used to working on the street corner. And if you work on the street corner, if you're late, if you're early, you're late. So you better believe my guy. If they're in this organization, which was Rock Nation, they're going to be on time. This was De 'a's response. Jerry Jones, I don't think it's smart. Mentioned my name. I kept quiet about a lot of unfair-ish. We have a story time.
47:09Shannon Sharpe:That's what we're doing. You know, De 'a's got his little piece, but you can't win that war you can't there's you can't you can't win that war no you can't win that war and what i would i i wouldn't do uh i'm not getting into it i'm not because jerry jerry is the type to tell all your business nothing he oh joe that's a little okay dad's was late for me okay yeah i get it who wouldn't because i was too but jerry might not back like hold on no jerry You can't say that. Oh, I was supposed to tell that much? You know, hey, you know, the old people, Ochoa, when they measure, they don't really have no measuring.
47:53Shannon Sharpe:They go by field. They go by, okay, this and that. Ain't no measuring cup. See, some, you know, coaches, owners might measure. Okay, I get a little bit. Jared, you're just poor. If he can do to Micah, who is of value to his franchise right now, what do you think he'd do to Dez who is of no value right now playing for him you know and also I wouldn't want to there are certain bridges I don't want to burn certain bridges I don't want to burn because you never know when you might have to cross them again yeah forget I'm sure Dez was sitting on his couch no no Dez Dez was probably playing Madden because you say Dez's good yeah yeah Dez's nice what the hell I gotta do with this I'm minding my own business you bring me into this you know what's funny is we have people on the outside looking at it they're just owners and I want people to understand how powerful how powerful these individuals are outside of the game of football I want people to understand so when I just said there's certain bridges you don't want to burn even if, okay, you know what he said, something you don't like?
49:14Well, you know what? There's certain things you got to let go because you go on the war with something you will never be able to defeat. And it can ruin a lot of things for you outside, if you get what I'm saying.
49:28Shannon Sharpe:Some folks is very, very, very, very powerful outside of football. I think people really don't understand the power that these individuals have. Oh, yeah, they do. I mean, the cat, just the regular football fans. Like, people in the chat, I don't think they understand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People are. Yeah. Yeah. I told him Mr. Boling called and got my money back.
50:00Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I can, if I give you the right tools, I can, you can probably win the war, but I got to give you the right weapons to go fight. I don't know currently if Micah has the weapon to fight
50:20now it's unfair yep but I'm like
50:28Shannon Sharpe:how long how long you been retired seven years I'm not sure why he even brought Dad's name up He brought, he brought, because here's the thing. You can say that you didn't have to use days. You could have said there have been times that the agent told me that player X was going to get treatment. Player X was going to do X, Y, and Z. When player X does not do that. And I try to get on the phone with the agent. Now, all of a sudden he won't return the calls now, but when we're negotiating money, he calling me. I got all it. I got all this for, I got, I got his heart. I got a landline and you know a whole lot of people ain't got landlines no more but I got his landline I got the number to the secretary I got his personal phone number I got X Y Z all I'm saying is he didn't have to use Dez.
51:20Shannon Sharpe:That ain't make no sense he didn't have to use Dez make no sense and I can assure you Dez is not but Dez hey just let it rock you good hey you the major money you straight you live in Dallas you got a nice life don't mess it up with some petty bull job it ain't even worth it bro you know that I know it's frustrating that he dragging you into something you ain't got nothing to do with that's between Jerry and Micah and David Mugletta I don't know if there is an agent I don't know if Roc Nation has a client on the Cowboys I don't know all I do know is that Dez name shouldn't have been brought up when you're trying to make a point of why you don't like negotiating with agents.
52:17Shannon Sharpe:But all these millions He's throwing everybody under the bus, huh? Jerry's throwing everybody under the bus. He's driving forward, reversing over him. Yeah, Lee, what we doing? He backed up over. but I thought that was the whole thing that's the whole thing about having an agent I mean when Jerry I guarantee when Jerry goes negotiate these$100 million deals Jerry send his$100 million lawyers in there to negotiate with the other companies $100 million lawyers you think him and Muguleta don't get along you think they got some personal issues or something no Muguleta gonna be looking to reset the market the same thing Todd Franz did when he got Dak's money.
53:04Shannon Sharpe:Now, I don't know who represents CD, but I know Todd Franz represents Dak. So, yeah, I'm looking to reset the market because I want to keep climbing higher, and I'm trying to get as much money as I guarantee. Because I'm trying to get – who got the most guaranteed money? Miles Garrett, 123? Okay. I'm trying to get 140 because we're going to keep pushing it. We're going to keep pushing it. Oh, Lamar Jackson said, oh, Did y 'all see what Josh Allen got guaranteed? I'm going to need that. Because he got one MVP. I got two. Matter of fact, you know. Should have had three. You know, shoot, Lamar going back to the table after this season.
53:47Shannon Sharpe:Hell, Lamar trying to go back to the table before this season. It's going to happen. I'm sure it hit the ticket at some point. I'm just saying, hey, I'm just saying, look, if you're talking about north of what Josh got, I'll let your boy. Absolutely. If that ain't what you're looking for, what we talking about. Damn. I mean, what's the mark, 28, 29? He's straight. He good.
54:17Boy, I can't believe Jerry be throwing everybody out of the bus. Jerry don't care, man. Buddy don't care, man.
54:24Shannon Sharpe:He's thugging it. Jerry, you do realize these are supposed to be private conversations. Like when you talk to an agent, you're supposed to be private. This man mentioned Jay-Z by name. He said, I did a deal with Jay-Z myself. So he going to be on time. So tell me where I signed at. Right there. Hey, man. Oh, I had a conversation with Mike and March at the Big 12 Championship at the Super Bowl. That ain't got nothing to do with nothing. This is business. Man. Hey, I didn't find out, Jerry, you wearing a wire. You're telling everybody business. Oh, man. Jerry put it out there, man. Yeah, Dave's response.
55:14Shannon Sharpe:I read the quote Jerry Jones. I don't think it's smart to mention my name. I kept quiet about a lot of unfair-ish on some G-ish. We can have a story time if that's what we're doing. Let it rock, Dave. Let it rock. uh rock nation terrence steel oh okay uh terrence steel he's uh right tackle uh on the cowboys rock nation also responded in 2015 at the club at 21 club on a napkin jerry jones juan perez sean jay-z carter and stephen jones negotiated a five-year 70 million dollar deal which included 45 million guaranteed and a 20 million dollar signing bonus for des brine at the time, which was the second largest contract for a wide receiver in NFL history.
55:59Shannon Sharpe:The claim that Mr. Carter, a Roc Nation representative did not return a call from Jerry Jones, is not only a false statement, but it's also a comical one. Roc Nation sports, you know, sports representative. So now Jerry lying too. Well, shoot, you know, who don't? We all listen, but he ain't handling business the right way. He ain't handling business the right way. Nope. But guess what? He don't care. Definitely don't. He don't care, Jay. Ocho, Terry McLaurin has asked commanders to trade him. McLaurin turns 30 in September. McLaurin, in the final year, he's in the final year, Ocho, final season of a three-year deal, set to make$15.2 million base salary and is currently the 17th highest paid wide receiver in terms of average annual salary.
56:56Shannon Sharpe:Get my dog out of there, man. Get my dog out of there, man. They want to play. Where are you trading to? Trading to Tennessee. Where are you trading? Let him go over there to Tennessee with Cam real quick so Cam could do exactly what T.J. Stroud did. So Cam can do exactly what Jaden Daniels did over there with the Commandos. You know, giving them weapons. Put them weapons around him. You know, we got Calvin Ridley. We got Terry McLaurin. Wait, we got Tyler Lockett over there too, huh? Right? I'm not mistaken. Tyler Lockett in the slot. Come on, man. They still got Paula, right? Paula's still the running back?
57:31Oh, come on, man. Talk about Tennessee. Tennessee, the dark horse team to make it to playoffs. Terry Milano, since they want to play games, goddamn, Jaden Daniels doesn't have the rocks in his back pocket to be able to go up to management right now and say, listen, I need my target. I don't think you understand. A huge part of my success was actually having number 17 as a target. Look at some of the plays they made for us last year. Why is it even a no-brainer? I don't care about him being 30. I don't care about him being 30. Where else are we going to get the production from? Where? No disrespect to Debo Samuels.
58:10Nice. Very nice at what he does. Very nice at what he does. He's a Swiss Army knife. He can come out the back and play in the slot. You put him in motion with the ball in his hands, is phenomenal, one of the best. When you go into a game and you're playing the commanders, they're game planning and setting the defensive formation where Terry McLaurin lines up. What are we talking about?
58:39Shannon Sharpe:If what Adam Schefter is reporting is to be true, he wants way north of$33 million. They're not going there, Ojo. They're not. You know that. I know that. I mean, not at 30. Not at 30. If what Adam Schefter, like I said, Adam Schefter tweeted that. Ash, can you find that quote and put it up on the thing to make sure it's still fit the real Adam Schefter and we're not getting a catfish? But what Adam Schefter reported is that he wants North. wait i think the word verbiage and the terms he used was way north of 33 million listen i want way north of 33 million stay with me now the commander say we not gonna give you north of 33 million so okay let's negotiate let's find a happy medium that's not disrespectful to me and what I've done for this franchise because the number speaks for themselves.
59:50Yeah, but I ain't going to pay you for what you've done.
59:54Shannon Sharpe:I already paid you for that. I got to pay you what I believe you're going to do now. He's 30, right? 30. Yes. He can very well, because of the quarterback play and the quarterback you have, he's going to be consistent. That's a no-brainer. He's not losing a step. now I just don't I just don't know if that number is that number that North North is 33 maybe 133 and a half because think about it you do realize who's at 30, 34 and 35 CD and Jetta now what we do way North means he's 36, 37 give him 32 and a half give Terry McLaurin 32 and a half I was thinking more along the lines of a waddle somewhere between 28 and a half and 31.
1:00:54Ocho, I'm just, Ocho, Ocho, I've just got to be real, man. Okay. Give him a dog 32 and a half. Talk to me, man. Talk to me nice. Huh? We talk about Scary Terry. We ain't talking about just knowing anybody, man. Huh? We talk about the one who wear the C on the chest. We talk about the captain. The one who does everything the right way. He says all the right things. He does. He's the leader of the team. He's the leader of the offense. His teammates gave him the C for a reason. Now it's time to pay him for the exact leader that you're asking him to be. And now it's a problem? That's what we're doing?
1:01:24Yeah. That's what they're doing.
1:01:27Shannon Sharpe:That's what it seems like they're doing. I mean, child, please. I think 30 million is probably what – I think 30 is the drop-dead number because that's where Tyreek is. Ash, pull up the top 10 pull up the receivers Adam Schefter said he thinks Terry McLaurin wants considerably more than DK got which was$33 million per year so considerably more is going to be$35,$36,$37 Damn Listen, sometimes you got to shoot high and find a happy medium I like it Shoot for the stars, if you're laying on the moon you're still pretty damn I don't like the fact that the players are missing training camp. I don't like it because you need that time to be getting pushed and shoved and getting acclimated to the speed of the game.
1:02:30Shannon Sharpe:Okay, Ocho, here we are right here. Jamar Chase is at 40.25. Jetta, 35. CD, 34. DK, 33. Garrett Wilson, 32. AJ, 32. Almond Ross St. Brown, 30. Brandon IU, 30. Tyreek Hill, 30. T. Higgins, 28, 750. Yeah, 32 and a half. I'm going to say that again. 32 and a half. Anything below that is disrespectful. Put the numbers up. Pull the numbers up. I see it. You got them on your screen. Can you see them? No, the numbers, no. No. But listen, listen, listen. Anything below that is disrespectful. Pull the numbers up. See, I need to be assistant to some of these agents when it's time for these receivers to get paid.
1:03:22Because not only am I going to pull the numbers up, not only am I going to put the numbers in the market where everybody getting paid, I'm also walking there with the goddamn film. I'm not sure what y 'all been watching.
1:03:33Shannon Sharpe:So 32 and a half will put him at Garrett Wilson, field highest paid. See? Okay, it's not outrageous. It's not too low. It's right in the middle and it's not disrespectful. I wear this on my chest. He won't considerably more than 33. Boom. He was shooting for the stars. If I fall low, I want to fall to the 32 and a half. I think you're going to fall to 30. No. See, I need to be in the rooms. I need to be in the room when it's time for receivers to negotiate. I think the owners and whoever does the numbers and the books, they forgetting what you did. How many, I'm coming there with the film. I'm coming up with the film.
1:04:21Forget what you talk about. Let me show you why my, my client deserves. We'll be asking for it. Let me show you why play by play. I'm gonna have all this catches and touchdown broken down. 32 and a half. Let me show you why 32 and a half down and distance, different scenarios. Remember this? Come on, man. Stop playing, man. What? Listen, I'm the right one to have when it comes to negotiation and getting somebody paid.
1:04:51Shannon Sharpe:I agree with Jojo. I don't think 32 and a half is outrageous. But I think he's going to fall somewhere. I think he's going to be, you know, and I said because remember, Waddle. Remember, I said I went 28 and a half. That 28 and a half, so I think he's going to fall that 28 and a half to 32. That's going to be the range. And I don't know if he's going to be too happy with that. Because what happens is that you don't want to come behind a guy, Ocho, when the guy got 32 and a half and then you come behind him, you get 31 or you get 30. Because now you've studied the growth of the wide receiver. Now, I get it.
1:05:28Shannon Sharpe:You look at Gary Wilson. Gary Wilson said, hey, 32-5 considering where I was. I'm cool with that. and right now I can't match the production of CD, Jetta and Chase so I can't go up there and say hey y 'all need to break me off like that cause Jetta is on some historic issues Chase is on some historic issues there's levels to everything so that's what and so when you look at it like that but I get what Terry McLaurin says hold on bro look y 'all need to break me off 32 and a half that's it 32 and a half if they don't pay him 32 and a half I'm going to go off on management I don't know where but they're going to hear me they're going to hear me they're going to hear me
