13:24Shannon Sharpe:That's your level of expertise as the wide receiver. So I'm going to take your word for it. But, you know, look. I think the thing is a plus with Jennings, Ocho. He's going to want big money. He sees what all these other guys. I mean, you see what these other guys are making. You don't want to be the guy to go out there all of a sudden and get like a three-year,$18 million deal where you see guys getting, I think Wanda Robinson got what? Like$20 million a year. And Alec Pierce got like$28,$29 million a year. You don't want to be the guy like, damn, bro, you afraid and that's all you got? So he's going to, I mean.

14:03Chad Johnson:He's going to get his chance. He's going to get his chance. He's going to get his chance somewhere.

14:11Shannon Sharpe:because I think he definitely earned it. He played extremely well, and he deserves that opportunity. So we'll see where he ends up going, but Mike Evans is going to the...

18:04Shannon Sharpe:Lenovo, Lenovo. San Francisco 49ers. After four years with the Ravers, Tyler Lindebaum is joining a new squad. Adam Schefter reports the center has agreed. Three years,$81 million with the Raiders. The deal includes$60 million guaranteed, an average value, the most ever, the most ever for an NFL interior lineman, $27 million a year. But things got interesting when Kyle Hamilton celebrated his teammate getting the bag on AG. As a Raven fan tweeted, sometimes I wonder if Kyle Hamilton hates the Ravens. Guy shares the most likely signing, but not like comment or share a relation to Crosby or other Ravens news.

18:52Shannon Sharpe:Maybe I'm overreacting, but it's something I've noticed for a while now.

18:59I mean

19:01Chad Johnson:I'm confused didn't they come in together? celebrating

19:03Shannon Sharpe:wasn't they drafted in the same draft? I think Hamilton was one and then he came in he came in like later wasn't they in the same draft? and Marlon Humphrey tweeted from the fan account saying you're not overreacting he's exactly who you think he is I know him personally Ocho what's going on?

19:23Chad Johnson:I don't know I don't know I don't know it's one It's one that I'm confused. I'm confused. I'm not in that locker room. You know, I'm on the outside looking in just like you. So I'm finding out things that are going on over there. Just like you are. Now, I can't pinpoint what the problem is. I'm not sure what the problem is celebrating someone, you know, getting their deal. That was a part of your team. It was weird to me. But the fact that someone's watching close enough to be able to notice from the outside looking in that that says a lot. I mean

19:58Shannon Sharpe:Marlon Humphrey's still there, ain't he? And he says, you're not overreacting. He's exactly who you think he is. I know him personally. Certain things, look, you might be joking, but everybody don't take jokes the same way that you take them. Now, look, I understand that you want to congratulate because they were in the same draft. They were both first-round draft picks. I think Kyle Hamilton went first, And then I think he went, what, 22? I think he went later. Or was he a second-round pick?

20:29Chad Johnson:No, he was 14. He was only 25.

20:32Shannon Sharpe:Okay. So, and I get your draft made. I mean, you're happy for you. I mean, guys that you came in with, Ocho, you're happy. All of them didn't stay the whole while that you were in Cincinnati. They go other places you're happy for. And I don't know. I don't know how you handle it. Obviously, we didn't have social media like this. They didn't have no Twitter and stuff like that. But I would have been happy. Hey, congrats, boy. Hey, let your boy hold something. Let me get a loan. I can't pay back. You know, I'm going to say something funny like that. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Because I'm feeling happy.

21:01Shannon Sharpe:But I don't want to read too much into this chat. Y 'all read? Are we underreacting? Are we overreacting? I'm not sure how to feel about this.

21:14Chad Johnson:He might be trolling. He might be trolling.

21:20Shannon Sharpe:You're right, Ocho. You might be. So, like I said, when it comes to Marlon Humphrey, I don't really know. I don't know how we're supposed to take this.

21:37Shannon Sharpe:But, look, if he was just like, you're not overreacting, this is exactly who you think he is. And then if he – I think he might be trolling too, Ocho, because he says I know him personally. Had he just left it open, he's exactly who you think he is. right I probably like but I think I do I do I think I think Kyle Hamilton is sincerely happy for a classmate they came in in the same draft one was for Kyle was 14 and Linda Baum was 25 so yeah I'm not

22:13Shannon Sharpe:I'm not taking too much of it I mean

22:21Shannon Sharpe:everything I don't know I just think the thing is you try to give kudos to somebody and then somebody think you taking a shot at your former team taking a shot at your own team they didn't pick up his fifth year option because they felt the fifth year option was about 24 billion which is about 5 to 6 million more than what Creed Humphrey which is the highest paid centers making and once they didn't pick up that you know damn well if they weren't going to pay the man they weren't going to pay the 23.5 or the 24 billion right you know damn well they weren't about to pay 27 million with 60 million guaranteed right and they just and you know you just gave up what you gave up to get uh crocs crosby and they're talking about the the type of contract that you're gonna have to give lamar oh yeah oh hey what well lamar um

23:14Chad Johnson:Boy, would he finna get?

23:16Shannon Sharpe:He finna get that job. He gonna get 62, 62 mil a year. 62 a year. What'd Josh Allen get? What did Josh Allen, what was Josh Allen guaranteed? Give me 50, hey Ocho, give me$50 more than Josh. That's it, just 50, huh? I don't want 50. Put a little 50 on, a little 50, a little 50 dollar hold me over. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's 62 and$50 more than what Josh Allen got. Josh Allen got 275. I got 275. 50. Mm-hmm. I like it. Yeah, but look, I'm not going to read too much into this. Ochoa, the coach traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers. Hey, let's go, Pitt. To a three-year,$59 million deal.

24:04Shannon Sharpe:The news comes shortly after the coach decided to give Alex Pierce four years,$116 million to keep him in Indy. Ocho, the Steelers now have the second best wide receiver duo in the AFC North. They got some big guys. Pittman is 6 '4", DK is 6 '3", 6 '4". Pittman is about 220, 225, 230. DK about 230. They definitely got the biggest receivers.

24:28Chad Johnson:Yeah, I like it. I like it. Listen, Michael Pittman Jr., he's been really solid the past few years. Last year, he had 80 catches for 784 yards. seven TDs. The year 2024, he had 69 for 808 in three TDs. So he's been solid. He's been decent over the years. Been a great option for the Indianapolis Colts. Now going over to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but still, now you got two receivers. You got two big receivers that were obviously a little bit more upside with DK Metcalf, but you got two big receivers, but you still need somebody else. You still need somebody else. Along with that, I think - Because they lost Gamewell.

25:02Chad Johnson:You know they lost Gamewell,

25:03Shannon Sharpe:Ocho.

25:04Chad Johnson:Gamewell, but somebody else came, if I'm not mistaken, right? I don't know. I could have swore I saw a running back go to the Steelers, but outside of that, you still need another receiver, another option. Rico Dowdle went to. Yeah, Rico Dowdle from the Panthers. That's right, Rico Dowdle went. You still need another option receiver that does things differently that big receivers do. I mean, so you can't have the same of everything at the receiver position. Who's the quarterback? Who's the quarterback? I like the move, you know, and, and Pittman as a weapon, but who's going to be your quarterback?

25:40Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I think they might be hoping that Aaron Rodgers come back. I don't know if they cause Kenny pick it. Kenny pick. He went to the Panthers. Okay. He went to the Panthers. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think, I don't think Rudolph is coming back. So it looks like they might be in the same situation that they were last year. Ocho putting all the eggs in one in Aaron Rodgers basket.

26:07Chad Johnson:I mean, listen, that 42 year old quarterback or maybe maybe to be 43 old quarterback is better than every option that's out there. Could be regard. Regardless of a chat. Chat. I mean, am I wrong? Am I wrong? Is Aaron Rodgers a better option that quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers than everyone else that's available? I mean, I'm just being honest. So he has, again, the Steelers by the balls. well at damn near his entire career he's had everybody by the balls because he has the power he controls you know the situation because he knows they need him

26:43so

26:44Chad Johnson:I'm so excited I slept by 7-8 hours a day I went and worked out today

26:52Shannon Sharpe:oh my goodness I mean who knows I don't know the answer

26:59Chad Johnson:in the draft?

27:00Shannon Sharpe:Look, if we get Aaron Rodgers back for a year and we say have Ty Simpson or one of these quarterbacks that can come out and learn up for a year, Ocho.

27:07Chad Johnson:Right, right, right, right.

27:10Shannon Sharpe:But Steelers got to figure it out. Aaron Rodgers can't keep coming. Y 'all can't keep bringing Aaron Rodgers back on one of your deals. He ain't going to play for him.

27:17Chad Johnson:I mean, they have Will Howard, but if Will Howard was the answer, if he was the answer. You wouldn't be hoping Aaron Rodgers

27:23Shannon Sharpe:come back and we better be knowing that we'd love to have Aaron back.

27:27Chad Johnson:Right. They would move on. They will move on.

27:30Shannon Sharpe:25-year-old linebacker N 'Kobe Dean signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, reportedly agreeing to a three-year deal worth$36 million. But it wasn't the length of the contract or the money that swayed him. According to NFL insider Jane Slater, Dallas was actually very competitive in the bidding for Dean's talent and made an offer that was very similar to that made by the Raiders. Dean apparently said he could see himself in both places. In the end, though, ultimately he went with his gut feeling and picked Las Vegas by what he described to her as a 51-49 margin. Ocho, choosing the Raiders over the Cowboys.

28:06Shannon Sharpe:I mean, both, no incomes taxed in either state.

28:09Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure what went about when it came down to making his decision at the end. Cowboys defense, that's tough. I would love to be a fly on the wall to understand those conversations he had with his agent and when he chose to go to Las Vegas. And why? Is it what Las Vegas is building? Is it a belief in them understanding that they've cleaned house in a sense and they're going in a different direction and trying to compete in the AFC West, right? Yeah, and trying to get better, understanding what they're going to do in the draft and getting a quarterback.

28:52Chad Johnson:I'm not sure there's so many factors that play into it when it comes to making a decision of this magnitude that's going to affect your career especially when you go and play not to choose the Cowboys the illustrious the product that sells itself with a star on its helmet Cowboys that have been relevant since I mean what who knows they moved the needle to not want to come play there to not want to come play there I mean it had to be something Yeah.

29:26Shannon Sharpe:When, you know, Clint Kubiak, you know, they signed a couple of guys. They're trying to build. They got two first-rounders. We know that. And they got two next year. We know that. So you get an opportunity. And they got money to spend. So if you hit get the right free agents, you look at what New England did. They missed the playoffs. They signed Milton Williams, and they signed Stephon Diggs, and they signed a few back Mack Hollins, you know, and you go in the draft, and you draft, you get Henderson, and you make a few right moves, Ocho, and you write back your business. Raiders can have that to say, now obviously your quarterback's going to have to play really well for you, but if you make that right for agency, hit this thing in the draft.

30:13Shannon Sharpe:Now, the jury's still out on your left tackle. I think he can be good. You know, you hear people talking about his sense. He does get overpowered, the guy at the bull. And maybe that's his left knee. Maybe he can't sit down on that knee. He needs the offseason to get that knee healthy and be able to sit down. He does give up the edges because he got his ass handed to him. There's no way around it. He got his ass handed to him in the postseason. He did. You saw the Texans hand him his ass. Now, they were pre-rep pass rushers now. Benito and Bill Anderson and Daniel Hunter. They do everybody like that.

30:45Shannon Sharpe:They did not know slouches.

30:47Chad Johnson:Yeah, they do everybody like that. But you the left tackle.

30:49Shannon Sharpe:You got to hold your own.

30:51Chad Johnson:You can't be weakling. That's your money spot. Yeah, that's your money spot. Your money spot always got to be your weak link.

30:58Shannon Sharpe:After missing out on Max Crosby, the Cowboys opted for another edge rusher. Rayshon Gary is headed to the Cowboys with an old teammate of Kenny Clark to boast of the Cowboys pass rush post-Michael Parsons' era. Ocho, do you like the signing?

31:16Chad Johnson:I like it. I like Rayshon Gary. I like the signing. I didn't like the disappearing act that he pulled after having nine sacks the last nine games. Maybe it was a 10 sack. No, he had zero sacks in the last nine games. That's what I was trying to say. But how many did he have before those last nine games where he went on hiatus?

31:34Shannon Sharpe:I think he had like eight and a half.

31:37Chad Johnson:Okay, yeah. I mean, whatever the number.

31:39Shannon Sharpe:In his first eight games. And then he got shut out the last nine games.

31:44Chad Johnson:Yeah, the last nine. So obviously once Micah got there and Micah came, Micah had 12 and a half. And missed four games. And missed four games, so I'm not sure. I think Rashawn Gary is a good signing. If he can get off to a great start like he did in Green Bay and have some consistency and not disappear like he did or tail off at the end of the season, I think it would be a great, great pickup for the Dallas Cowboys. I, and Chad, stay with me real quick. I still think they might be in a play for Trey Hendrickson or is that deal off the table because you got Rashawn Gary? What do you think?

32:18Shannon Sharpe:I think they're going to play a 3-4. So if they're going to play a 34, you put Henderson as a stand-up linebacker, you put Gary as a stand-up linebacker, and you will probably have Quinny Williams and Odigazua as your ends, and then you'll probably have Kenny Clark as your nose.

32:35Chad Johnson:So listen, just based off what you just said just there, I mean, obviously on paper with names, it sounds good. They still have to play as a unit all together collectively. But to me, it sounds good. I'm not sure if they're going to have the money to do so. And a lot of people say, oh, they don't have no money. I don't think people understand. When teams want to do something, there's a way to move money around. You do understand that, right? There's always a way to move money around. There's no way to stop them when they want to sign a player individually. They can restructure and twist and manipulate whatever numbers they need to to get who they want to.

33:09Shannon Sharpe:They redid Dak's contract. They restructured Dak. They restructured a CD. They restructured Tyler Smith. They did something with Terrence Steele. So they got a little money to play with. I don't know if they're going to do something with De 'Ron Bland. Probably if they rework those contracts over Diggy Zua, Quentin Williams, and Kenny Clark, probably give them some more money to play with. Because, you know, you just kick the can down the road. You know, you tear the contract up and voidable years. And, you know what I'm saying, and give them the signing bonus, Ocho. So I think that's what it's going to do.

33:38Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing for me is that they give him a fourth-round draft pick, pay the guy$19.5 million this year. He has$22.5 million next year, but it's not guaranteed. And then when you look at Khalil Mack, he just signed a one-year deal for$18 million. Me personally, I think Khalil Mack is a better player. I think the thing is that when you look at Rashawn Gary, he's a guy that's never had a double-digit sack season. And you mentioned something very interesting. The last nine games, he had zero sacks. It's hard for me to see a scenario because you know Michael's getting double teamed. It's hard for me to see a scenario where you can't get one sack, two sack with all the attention with the guy on the other side.

34:19Shannon Sharpe:It's kind of like if you're a wide receiver and you play with another great wide receiver, you can't tell me, you mean to tell me you can't get a couple of touchdowns? You can't have a couple of big games when I know they're giving me attention to the other guy on the other side? So that would, I'm not saying, look, maybe he was hurt, but I'm saying that would cause me to pause okay now what's going let me try to dive a little deeper to see what's really going on

34:44Chad Johnson:right yeah matter of fact hold on let me get

34:54Chad Johnson:the Raiders Matt Crosby is going to Baltimore who's replaced Max

35:01Shannon Sharpe:they're probably going to go in the draft because you got the first pick in the draft or you got number 14

35:06Chad Johnson:so I'm thinking with Sean Gary if the Cowboys feel they feel their need at the defensive position as far as offseason acquisitions go and they want to work at other levels that they do have then I say maybe Trey Henderson if I don't see a scenario where he signs back I mean obviously that's not going to happen so maybe there's a scenario where Trey Henderson ends up in Dallas? Vegas? possible in Los Angeles. I tweeted, okay, Trey Henderson is going to end up a cowboy. I tweeted it because I wholeheartedly believe it. But when they got Rashawn Gary, I'm like, uh, knowing Jerry, knowing the way he is, he's not very aggressive, not too aggressive in the offseason.

35:52Chad Johnson:I mean, listen, he made a move. Yeah, he seemed to be more active than he's ever been in his life.

35:58Shannon Sharpe:You see, he tried to make a play for N 'Kobe Dean. He makes the, you know, he traded for Quinny Williams. He traded Micah and he got compensation back. And so you see what he's, some of the moves that he's making. This is the first time that we've seen Dallas really spend in the offseason or really try to make moves and not no C or D level moves. These are, look, it remains to be seen how Rashawn Gary is going to play out. But to try to go into free and get into Kobe Dean, because that is a position of need. your linebackers need they need to and to play a 3-4 Ocho your backers gotta be good to 3-4 they gotta be some thumps

36:41Chad Johnson:they gotta be yeah

40:47Shannon Sharpe:Lenovo, Lenovo. On a three-year,$51 million contract, Ocho,$34.7 million guaranteed. Shahid joined cornerback Josh Jobe as cleave players, returning to the defending Super Bowl champion in free agency. Seattle, however, lost both Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs and defensive back Kobe Bryant to the Bears to join a new team. Did Seattle do enough to try to run it back? Now, Ocho, I got to say a little something because you know, Ocho, you know Spoon and you know JSN. I got to take care of them.

41:26Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah, absolutely. I kind of want to do a little something for Sam Darnold,

41:31Shannon Sharpe:let him know that we really appreciate what he did.

41:34Chad Johnson:yeah i mean i mean listen you know they know how to manipulate those numbers they know what they what they need to do uh you got to take care of jsn you got to take care of witherspoon because they have been phenomenal those are key pieces to your to your team in general um i'm not sure when it's gonna happen um i don't know i'm i'm waiting i'm waiting but they have they done enough to fill in to make a repeat or have a run again? I'm not sure the defense will look the same as it did this year. You can find pieces. Are you going to find someone that's going to fill in that position at the defensive back position and do what Tyreek Willen was able to do?

42:15Chad Johnson:I mean, they had that nickname for a reason. They had the nickname for a reason. So if you're not bringing back that same squad with the same players that had that continuity, will it be the same? you know will sam donald play as well as he did this season hell well he proved he could do it he went from minnesota playing well in minnesota and ain't mr beat in seattle so i mean you would see him now already being paid you you would see some consistency you know on his part so i'm sure

42:42Shannon Sharpe:they probably will look just as good and you go back to the raiders they also signed quay walker from the from green bay because remember uh green bay traded the linebacker they traded for uh what's the Indianapolis Colts guy they traded 44 him and he was on the 520 show Zaire Franklin Quay Walker who's at the University of Georgia hey as a matter of fact I think Quay and N 'Kobe played together I think so now they got the Georgia boys reunited because you know they had two Georgia boys and they had three with Philly Carter and Davis and the Kobe Dean. Right.

43:26Chad Johnson:And so... Hey, I still don't understand. I know you just said it. I don't want to say how they let Zaire Franklin go. But he's an animal.

43:34Shannon Sharpe:Hey, he's going to stop the run now. Oh, my goodness. He'd be all over the place. He a bumper. I don't know what defense they're going to run, but he a perfect for a 3-4 defense because he a big-ass guy that can take on guards. obviously you know when you're that size you're not going to be as nimble and play the recovery pass that well so he'll probably be coming out on third down um but i you know i i like to pick for green bay green bay's like we need to get better in run defense and they felt quite you know um quay is more agile but it's going to be interesting to see i like what the raiders have done so far and it doesn't translate just because you spent a boat load of money in free agency ocho doesn't mean it's going to translate to all the bad guys.

44:16Shannon Sharpe:No.

44:16Chad Johnson:If that's the case, hey, listen, that's the case. The goddamn Steelers would have translated based on what they acquired in the offseason with all that elite talent that they had.

44:26Shannon Sharpe:So it's going to be buried. But, you know, we're not surprised that we see this kind of movement. We normally see this movement the first two days. Ocho, the Tennessee Titans are signing ex-Giants wide receiver Wendell Robinson. Four years,$78 million. Robinson is set to reunite with Giants head coach Brian Dayball in Tennessee on a four-year,$78 million deal. $38 million of it, which is guaranteed. Robinson kicked off his big day to join the Titans, who signed defensive lineman John Franklin Myers to a hefty three-year deal,$63 million. Quarterback Alante Taylor to a three-year,$60 million deal.

45:03The Titans spent a whopping$270 million

45:08Shannon Sharpe:on free agents today, Ocho. You know, another giant, a notable former Giants, Cordell Float, backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Ocho, did the Titans do a number one, do enough to support number one overall draft pick last year, Cam Ward?

45:25Chad Johnson:Listen, I like Wondell Wright. I like what he did with the Giants last year. I'm sorry, Wondell Robinson. I like what he did with the Giants last year. He had some flashes of brilliance on. I think they still need to do more. They need to do more, especially on the offense end, to add more pieces or more weapons around Cam Ward. Calvin Ridley coming back from an injury. I'm not sure what's that going to look like. I'm not sure what the timetable is for his return, but they still need a guy. I'm talking about that. I almost said the N word. They need one of them. They need a boy dog out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

46:00Chad Johnson:You know what I mean. One you can count on no matter what. But, again, it's still early. there's some other pieces that you can continue to add so I'm excited for Cam Ward I'm hoping that they do more and add more weapons around him so he doesn't have the issues like he had last year there were many issues offensively

46:22Shannon Sharpe:for them last year you could never have too many weapons for your quarterback at all the Denver Broncos are bringing back running back J.K. Dobbins on a$20 million deal the deal includes$8 million fully guaranteed Dobbins led the Broncos in carries 153, rush yards 772, and runs of at least 10 yards, 21. But he also didn't play after November 6th because of a foot injury he suffered a Thursday night in the win over the Raiders. Last season, Dobbins failed to play more than 10 games for the fourth time in his six-year NFL career. In 2021, he missed a season because of a torn ACL and played just one game in 2023 before tearing his Achilles.

47:01Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, do you like this move?

47:04Chad Johnson:I mean I like it I like it I'm not sure I mean that's tough especially at that running back position it's like it's tough I'm not sure what to say unless you're you know the elite of the elite are you going to make that much of a difference based on that position are you going to be that much better than what they already had I'm trying to say it without being disrespectful You know, they signed R.J.

47:33Shannon Sharpe:Harvey. I think he might have been a first-round draft pick or a second-round draft pick out of UCF. I think the thing is, this is an okay deal. You didn't pay a whole lot of money. You only gave him$8 million fully guaranteed. Based on his injury history, Ocho, I couldn't go longer than that. I'm surprised they went two years. I probably would have went one year, but I understand spacing it out because, you know, the$8 million fully guaranteed, so you get to spread it out over two years. but based on his injury history, something tells me that he's going to miss time because he's missed time the last four years, Ocho.

48:07Shannon Sharpe:He didn't play after November 6th. You know how many games? There's still games in December. They still had one regular season game in January. So he missed maybe seven games. And then, you know, he coming off an ACL in 21, he turned Achilles injury in 23. He got nicked in 24. He's nicked in 25.

48:30Chad Johnson:he's had some when he's healthy though he's had some flashes yeah yeah yeah yeah he's fine yeah absolutely he's had some flashes with the Ravens with the Broncos I mean I don't know that's a tough one to talk about due to his injury history I don't like bringing up people's history and how much they've been hurt and what they can offer a team they feel he can do them some justice which is why he's there

48:54Shannon Sharpe:Dan Oloski was on Get Up this morning talking about what Max Crosby trade means for Lamar Jackson. Dio said, I love Lamar. There ain't no more excuses. That's all in. Lamar responded on Twitter. X, excuse me. Dan, there's never been excuses for Lamar though.

49:17Chad Johnson:I like that. Hey, you know, he don't say much. He don't talk much. The fact that he even responded was cool. you heard me the fact that he even responded was cool because he don't he don't say nothing he don't never fire back he don't never say nothing so it's good to see that for a change again from a superstar a mega superstar in the in the game i wish a little bit i wish a few more of them would open up and go back and forth when they when they don't agree with some you know a certain opinion of whatever it may be especially in the off season you know and enjoy enjoy yourself you know let the people see a different side of you for a change.

49:57Shannon Sharpe:I think I think Ochoa, I think, look, last year we thought it was the defense because we saw the leads that they have Ochoa and they weren't able to hold those leads. I think the thing is that offensively, I still believe they need another receiver outside of Zay. They've got to fill the hole at right guard. That right guard is just, ooh, Jesus. But I don't

50:27Chad Johnson:He might get better this offseason. The right guard might get better this offseason. Understanding and watching film, knowing how you embarrass yourself because your nameplate is on the back of that jersey every time you play and you snap. It's a snap down. There's no way you watch film in the meeting rooms with your officer teammates, your officer lineman, and think you're going to come back looking like that next year. That's embarrassing.

50:51Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to go to the machine. We ain't going to be able to watch film today. What happened to the machine? I don't know. Ocho, do you know how embarrassing that is? Ocho, we've all been in meetings, and they played offensive series in front of the offense. The wide receivers are in there. The tight ends are in there. The running backs, the quarterback. We're in there at the offensive line, and you F up. Yeah. Do you know how embarrassing that is? Now, just imagine how many times they cut the film on and he getting run by.

51:22Chad Johnson:Hey, it's the same person over and over. Over and over. Same one.

51:29Shannon Sharpe:So, I don't know. I think the thing is that we'll see. They don't have a first-round pick. Are they done in free agency? Are they going to try to get another wide receiver to go with Zayn? I know they gave Bateman some money, but Bateman, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened to him last year, Ojo. too many games he disappeared and he dropped too many passes

51:55Chad Johnson:they need a new center too you talk about the right tackle now they need yeah they do

52:05Shannon Sharpe:but that right guard lord have mercy hey that's a big boy too that's a big boy boy Don't be that terrible and big.

52:23Shannon Sharpe:Big and for no reason. Yeah. I think the thing is that, look, Lamar is like, I've never had any excuses. No, Lamar, we know you don't make excuses, but I think sometimes what Dio is kind of alluding to is that people making excuses for you. You're not making excuses. You're like, hey, we got to play better. I got to play better. The one thing I can say about you is that when you don't play well, you'll step to the mic and say, I got to play better. That's on me. I got to do a better job of seeing it. I got to do a better job of reacting. I got to do a better job of throwing the football and leading this football team.

52:53Shannon Sharpe:Lamar Jackson, I've never heard Lamar Jackson make any excuses. He's never placed the blame. But I think the thing is that with Dio talking about the fan base that tried well, he doesn't have this or he doesn't have that. Look, they're going to pay him a king's ransom. He's going to be the highest paid quarterback in the league. They went and got somebody on the defense. I don't think they can be done, Ocho. I don't. I don't. No, absolutely. I don't know if you can spend that kind of money. You got too many holes to fill, huh? They got too many holes to fill. I agree. I agree. I don't think you can spend that kind of money like you spent with Max Crosby, but I think you got to get some more people, man.

53:29Shannon Sharpe:You got to get some more. And your corners, and I don't know what they're going to do with Hump, but your corners got to play better. They just got to. And maybe they will play better because you're not going to have the time to pat the ball back there with Crosby. No, no. Uh-uh. So it's going to be very, very interesting. Like I said, I want Lamar to win one. Because I see when guys win one championship, how it feels like the release that you get. I've done it. Now I can really relax. You got the monkey off your back. Yes, yes, Ocho. Yes, yes. And he's too good. I mean, he should be a three-time MVP.

54:10Shannon Sharpe:He's a two-time MVP. I still don't care what nobody say. And Josh was phenomenal. But not that year. Not that year.

54:21Shannon Sharpe:Not that year. But anyway, Lamar go be Lamar. And can you give us three games of Lamar Jackson in the playoffs? The Lamar Jackson that we've seen in the regular season, the guy that's a two-time league MVP, a guy that was in the running that finished second, in league MVP, Ocho, can he give us three games in which he plays like that? Because if he gives us three games where he plays like that, they're getting to the Super Bowl. Because he can single-handedly lift the team. Yes, absolutely. We've seen him throw for 400 yards. We've seen him run for 150. We've seen him do a combination where he throws for 235 and three touchdowns and runs 405 and gives you another two touchdowns.

55:09Shannon Sharpe:So we've seen him. He got a big running back that can chew up clock, that can chew up time. We just need the guy that's a Superman, number eight. We just need that guy to show up in the postseason. He shows up in the postseason, I think he'll put everything that's been said about him negatively, I think he can put it to bed. I think he puts it to bed. But I like what the Ravens are doing. They're going for it. They're going to pay Lamar. I think they need another receiver. They need a right guard. I don't think they're done defensively. They're going to fill some holes in over there, and I think they'll definitely be better for it.

55:48Shannon Sharpe:Look, you see the Steelers are adding big wide receivers. You see what Cincinnati's doing defensively? They're trying to get better. Cleveland is Cleveland. We'll see what happens with Cleveland and where they are defensively. I think they're going to be good. I don't know who's going to be orchestrating the defense, But look, you got a two-time defensive player of the year. You got a top corner over there. That's a start. And you got the defensive rookie of the year. So you got some nice pieces. Devin Bush is in Chicago now. So you probably have to fill that hole. But they got a nice foundation defensively.

56:28Shannon Sharpe:I think the problem is for Cleveland is offensively. But we don't think Cleveland is in the class with the Baltimore's or Cincinnati's or Pittsburgh.

56:36Chad Johnson:No. mm-hmm they got they got a ways to go before they get to before they get into that conversation you think tomorrow tomorrow is going to be a heavy day of movement like it was today yeah

56:46Shannon Sharpe:it'll be somewhat maybe not because everybody you know everybody getting that that that fast action now all these contracts are officially signed sealed and delivered on wednesday um right but yeah i think we'll see a frenzy i think i think we'll see some more some more things

57:01Chad Johnson:Yeah, but today was exciting, boy. I put my notifications for Adam Schefter and the NFL on on my phone. Yeah, I have a note. Hey, I wanted to hear every time something came through. I wanted to know as soon as it happened.

57:16Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe, I got some sad news to share with you. No, no, no, no, don't do that,

57:20Chad Johnson:because you know I'm emotional now.

57:21Shannon Sharpe:Magic City Monday is not happening at the Atlanta Hawks home arena. What? The playing promotion - Oh, you bought my tickets to the game. The Atlanta Cultural Institution was scrapped by the NBA one week before it was set to take place. While we're very disappointed the NBA decision to cancel our Magic City night, we fully respect its decision. As a franchise, we remain committed to celebrating the best of Atlanta with authenticity in ways that continue to unite and bring us all together. That's from the Hawks official page. Adam Silver said that they had some concerns with sponsors and other affiliated investors with the league and say that, you know, that's not a good look.

58:01Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they got a little pushback. On the basketball court.

58:06Chad Johnson:Yeah, they had a little pushback. That's all. Especially when it comes to certain spots.

58:10Shannon Sharpe:They ain't want to scrub the ground in the arena, Ocho.

58:12Chad Johnson:Mate, man, I think they know that. They just didn't want to be associated with what it is. You know, they want to do their dirt. That is, they want to do their dirt behind closed doors. Drop. You hear me? Hey, they want to do their dirt behind closed doors. I wanna rock, I wanna rock. Hey, so I'm still going to the game though. I'm still going to the game with Joe. Do-do-do-do-do. Let me see you.

58:39Shannon Sharpe:Do-do-do-do. Drop the jackpot. Do-do-ro. Do-do-ro. I wanna rock, I wanna rock, I wanna rock. Hey.

58:48Chad Johnson:What you know about that? Hey, I remember them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.

58:55Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man. Man, they done messed it up, man. Damn. All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

59:08Chad Johnson:Damn. Hey, who the Hawks was playing, huh?

59:12Shannon Sharpe:I'm not sure.

59:16Shannon Sharpe:Before we get to the Super Chat, we got a video voicemail from our Discord. So guys, make sure you join us, submit your videos, and hey, who knows, we might even show it on the show let's take a look this one comes from twig yo what's good night cat family it's your boy

59:33Chad Johnson:tristan y 'all see who i'm rocking y 'all gonna see us in the western conference finals best believe it best believe it um ocho i just wanted to say i appreciate everything y 'all do you know y 'all keep me going y 'all take a good two hours out of my night shift so i just wanted to say i appreciate y 'all. And Ocho, you need to stop playing with my boy Jerry Jones like that, man. You already see what he's doing in free agency? What? Hey, we're going to get picked what he deserves and more, and we got something coming. I feel it, bro.

1:00:05Shannon Sharpe:Let me be delusional.

1:00:09Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Slurpercino, let's go. Devin Lloyd to the Carolina Panthers. Eye in the South and a playoff push. I thought he played really well for Jacksonville, Ocho. I like this.

1:00:25Shannon Sharpe:I like what the Panthers are doing. They got a nice look. Look, got to the playoffs last year. You see what quarterback Bryce Young got better. Those receiving core, McMillan was offensive rookie of the year. Now they just need, hey, just get a little better and better. Just improve on that defense. You know, you big Derrick Brown and you got some pieces. You got Devin Lloyd now. I like this. I like what Carolina's doing. Yeah, big time. 13th cabin, Saints are up and coming for my Spurs. Might be champ soon. It's been a good few months. Also, Ocho, look like DMX little brother with that back on first take.

1:01:03Shannon Sharpe:You on first take?

1:01:06Chad Johnson:Uh-uh. R. Pruitt. Hey, listen. Hey, if you ain't on first take, I ain't going on first take. Shit.

1:01:15Shannon Sharpe:R. Pruitt. Mike Avery's ruined Buck's legacy by abandoning ship. Most teams push players out of his age, but he took less money to leave after already getting a ring and a Hall of Fame career. That's a slap in our face.

1:01:30Chad Johnson:Man, please. Don't nobody know the numbers. He ain't take no less nothing.

1:01:37Shannon Sharpe:Big Perk. Hey, guys, your podcast is fire. Best on the night side. Oh, that Shea is smooth as baby's bottom. Ocho, you ought to give away one of your cigars to go with that Shea Conjac. VA, stand up. Love you guys. Hi, Ms. Shields. We appreciate you, man. I appreciate the support. Yeah, because we got that thing down in Virginia. It is in Virginia, so we was down there. We appreciate that. Tanya Manning. She owned those blue diamonds. BTA. Hook her up. Tendernism. Lee Bason. Who's more delusional? Clarissa thinking she could be the man or Ocho thinking he could score a point on Aiso.

1:02:23Oh,

1:02:24Chad Johnson:wait, so you telling me whoever this is, you don't believe in me to score a point? One point? They got me messed up. They got you all the way messed up, Ocho? They got me all the way messed up. It's offensive. It's disrespectful. I respect Aiso, Joe, being the player that he is, but saying an elite athlete like myself can go into his game and score one point? What? Man, stop playing with me.

1:02:55Shannon Sharpe:VD Nation is not backing down. He's standing on business. Look, I just voiced my opinion. I don't believe that Clarissa can beat a champion male fighter. I don't. That's not to say that she's not a good fighter. But I don't believe that she could. And the only thing I said, look, Look, Clarissa, the only thing I said is that, like, and then you made it personal. She's like, well, yeah, I did make it personal because I took it personal because you said I wasn't going to be able to do something. Clarissa, that's my opinion. You do realize that's how opinions work, Clarissa. But she was a great sport about it.

1:03:31Shannon Sharpe:She believes it. Me personally, I hope it doesn't happen, Ocho. There's a reason why. Ocho, remember how, I mean, over the last couple of years, we've seen men playing these ladies' sports in high school, in college. and people are, it's not fair. They're too strong and yada, yada, yada. There's a reason.

1:03:51Chad Johnson:Yeah, it is not. It's ridiculous. The fact that they even pass rules to allow them to do that, I don't know. You a man, you play a man. What in the world?

1:04:01Shannon Sharpe:If you're a woman, you play a woman's sport. Don't take your big rusty ass over there trying to compete with the women.

1:04:10Shannon Sharpe:Big game 268. Ocho, this is strike two. You didn't have Unk back versus Asante Samuel. and you got real quiet when Carissa's came on. Don't worry, Unk, the chat got you. Man, look.

1:04:22Chad Johnson:Got real quiet about what? I said the same thing.

1:04:28Shannon Sharpe:No, man, look. I think a lot of times, like, the thing I talked to Ocho about, I said, we got to be careful. We can't respond to everything. Because a lot of times, people are trying to stay in an algorithm, and right now, my name, considering what happened last year, and everybody knows, you mentioned me and you want to get into it and then you want our audience to lend the ear to your podcast no we built this we built this podcast we didn't take shots at anybody we just felt we produced very very good content we talk about sports we talk about a lot of things but we didn't take shots at anybody we didn't put anybody down we didn't to get to where we got we didn't step on anybody we didn't have to

1:05:10Chad Johnson:we didn't have to we didn't have to a lot of people in order for other people to gain traction for one what they have to do is they have to turn everything negative and in order to get the views in order to get people's attention with us we've always been authentic in talking sports and talking cultural stuff that is going on in the world today and we do it just being ourselves we don't have to talk about people to to get people's attention or to get people to watch the show and just i think that's what kind of separates from separates us from most because for them in order to get the needle moving you got to take shots in certain areas yes and i mean at this point i i guess it's best we just don't respond because we understand what it does for their platform as opposed to ours that's yes i mean but the thing is what they

1:06:01Shannon Sharpe:don't understand okay you might get a few you might go viral but at some point in time they're and people might click and they want to hear what you got to say at some point in time you just can't keep talking about with shannon with this and shannon did that and shannon sharp this and shannon sharp that and shannon sharp likes this guy shannon sharp likes that guy at some point in time you're gonna have to produce content that doesn't have shannon sharp in it at some point in time you're gonna have to produce content where you're not trying to say uh nightcap is not in it we don't talk about any other we give credit we don't talk about any other any other podcast because we think our knowledge of a particular sport on given sports we can talk about things and be serious about it but we can all make also make things funny and make lighter situations and look everybody's gonna take his stuff run with it and i see people they stuff that i said in the very beginning the very beginning the very first year the very six seven months or the first year the show they're replaying it now and says okay this is why that ain't why get a life create content where you don't talk about me can you do that no you can't that's why your podcast isn't growing because people don't tune in to hear you talk about shannon all the time okay it's fine and good maybe i gave you something to talk about but every other every other show is about me I mean there are times that people are taking shots at Ocho and Ocho like oh no don't worry about it I see they take shots at me don't even we have an opinion on sports we don't have an opinion on your podcast or what you're doing you're perfectly fine to talk about whatever you want to talk about but at some point in time your listeners want to hear you talk about something else other than me I promise you Yeah.

1:07:53Shannon Sharpe:82, 828 style. Hey, why didn't you just say no to the question? What question?

1:08:03Shannon Sharpe:828, I don't understand. Why didn't Ocho just say no to the question? Oh, he said, when I asked, do you think she could be rolling? And I think that's what he was asking. Why didn't you just say no?

1:08:16Chad Johnson:I don't need to say no. I need to explain it the same way I explained it. When we were all together. I need to explain it the same way I explained it when she was on her. Did you hear how she explained it? I said you would not beat him but you are a better boxer and she said the same thing because it comes down to skill. If he catches her she's going to sleep. I said that. I don't need to say no. I need to explain it the exact way I did.

1:08:39Shannon Sharpe:Fuck you going to tell me how to answer my damn question. Here's the thing. If you ever get on national television and you're in a debate they don't really do debate like we used to do at Undisputed. Yeah, back then. Yeah, yeah, it's not if you ever get into a debate never introduce an argument That doesn't support your case Because when you say Clarissa has better boxing skills The only reason the only reason you introduce that if it supports your argument that she can win an Attorney told me that he said Shannon. I'll never introduce I'll never introduce an Argument that doesn't help my client because now what you've done is that hold on you said she got better boxing skills will she win?

1:09:23Shannon Sharpe:No. She does. So why would you introduce that? Because now that helps me

1:09:27Chad Johnson:Okay I see what you mean. But still because it's a man and woman though.

1:09:31Shannon Sharpe:That's fact

1:09:32Chad Johnson:but she's still the better boxer that's all she's the better pure boxer. Now when you get a chance to watch Roley fight again and you see the awkward movements and then the herky jerky you'll see what I mean. But I mean just because it's a guy you won't win but she's still the better boxer. You know who had that herky jerky movement? pack out. Oh, yeah. He always bounced. Yes.

1:09:55Shannon Sharpe:He always bounced. And you never know when something's coming. A left, right. You don't know what made Roy dangerous. Oh, yeah. He was like, you think Roy gonna hit you with a left, and he boomed right down the middle with a right. And you expected a right, you're sitting on the right, and now he check hook you. Yeah. Those are what makes people dangerous.

1:10:15Chad Johnson:Yes, sir.

1:10:16Shannon Sharpe:Look, Floyd was just supreme. I mean, Floyd is just textbook. The way he can roll with punches, the way he can pull counter, the way he can catch punches. But that's unique. Everybody ain't got that. It's just like everybody can't run routes like JSN. They just can't, Ocho. Everybody can't run routes like you. Now what I got to do is that if I play the wide receiver position and I don't have feet and I'm not smooth like JSN, I still got to get open. Yeah.

1:10:46Chad Johnson:Yeah. You got to. You got to.

1:10:48Shannon Sharpe:I can't, because I ain't got feet like Ocho. I don't. So I still have to have a way. And so, but look, she came on here, guys. She explained her point. The only thing I will say is that you can't take someone's opinion personal. Somebody might not like an actor or an actress. That doesn't mean they're not great. I don't particularly like their movies, so I don't go see them. I still I think they're phenomenal but that's just me Ashley Nunez hey guys I just wanted to shout out my husband bond our daughter Ariel turned one today he's been amazing and I also want to say Ocho scared of Clarissa Ashley thank you so much Ariel tell Ariel happy birthday happy one year well I guess you say I don't know I guess you say 12 months I don't think you say two until You say 13 months, 14 months, 15 months.

I'm like, bro, I thought we were sipping. He's like, oh, I thought we were.

1:13:24Shannon Sharpe:No, it's a sipping. Kanye, you don't shoot it. Right. But, you know, we had side cars made. We had a big old block. You know what I'm saying? So that's the way we're going now. We're going to have two drinks. We're going to have it straight, and then we're going to have people make side cards or determination. You know, something like that. So I like that. I like that. I like that. But, hey, make sure you go check out that Matt Rife episode. He's unbelievable. I really like him. I told him he invited us to the show. He's funny. But I didn't get in late. Which one? I didn't get in late to D.C., Ocho.

1:13:55Shannon Sharpe:And so by the time I got in, I would have been rushed to try to get there and try to get back to do nightcap. But, Ocho, that joker showed up by himself. no security, no handlers, just walking down the street. Jordan comes back like, hey, boss, he here. I was like, who? I said, where's people at? He said, nah, he's just walking down the street by himself. What? But he's amazing. He's amazing. Hey, Jordan Scott Ocho, I got Chelsea over PSG, Man City over Real Madrid. Hey, Unc, I like that you stood on business with Clarissa. He got good heart. Yes, man. Look, I love it. She thought that she was good enough to, but I really love the fact that the matter is Ocho, because a lot of times, Ocho, we say stuff, and people don't want to come on to defend their point or what we said.

1:14:43Shannon Sharpe:Give her credit. She believes it. She's entitled to believe what she wants to believe. But I felt that I could make my point, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, because like I said to Carissa, all the great things that I've said, you bypassed that, and because I gave you an opinion that I don't think you can beat Rowley, you took what I said first. Ocho, he said he got Chelsea over PSG, Man City over Real Madrid. You got?

1:15:07Chad Johnson:I like it. PSG is not in form right now, so Chelsea probably will win that game. Real Madrid, Man City, that's a tough one. That's a toss-up. That's 50-50. I'm not sure if Mbappe's going to play. I'm not sure how his knee is feeling. He was hurt. But we'll see tomorrow. We'll see tomorrow. So I'm excited. You talk about Champions League. Champions League is tomorrow. Soccer.

1:16:34Chad Johnson:Nah, nah. I put you in a wheelchair. We put you in a wheelchair. We're definitely

1:16:44Shannon Sharpe:looking into that. And if it were, it would be kind of like they were last time. I think what we have, like July, August. I think it'll be something like that. So we got the World Cup right now. Obviously, we can't do it during the cup because we're going to be focusing on that. But we'll get back to you. We'll keep you abreast of what our schedule is looking like. Daniel Wells, Uncle Nocho, can you please give my baby, Caitlin, a happy birthday shout-out? Absolutely, Daniel. Caitlin, happy birthday.

Hey, what are your thoughts on G Payton not pursuing the big game players but only resigning players and releasing Greenlaw?

1:18:20Shannon Sharpe:Look, you got Benito, you played Courtney Sutton, you paid Sertan, you played Hufanga, you played Garrett Bowles, your quarterback, you're going to have to do something with him. Bowen Nix coming up real soon. So I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. Look, I think, and I would love to have to keep Franklin, but you can't keep everybody. And when you're good, I mean, you're going to lose good players. That's just the way it is. It's Maddie. 17 is closer to a ring than 8. Let's talk about it, especially if Pat isn't in the way. Well, I... Look. Josh has lost a couple of AFC Championship games to Mahomes.

1:19:12Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Lamar's lost one to Mahomes. It's six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. until one actually get there. Who are we to say that? Who's closer? Are we sure? Because it's not like Buffalo. I mean, Pat was removed. And what, Baltimore didn't make it. And Josh didn't play well. Bear Gang 268, which receiver tandem will have a better year? Chase Higgins, Lamb Pickens, and which team will miss the playoffs earlier? I mean
