Ocho Cinco
I mean, listen, when you pull the stuff you pulled during the off season, when you pull the stuff you pulled while you were there, you know, players see that, they don't want no part of that.
Shannon Sharpe
Did you see what are you? Did you see what was being Reported the stipulations that they gave him in order to come back to Green Bay. You see those stipulations? No. No more Pat McAfee. Many camps be here.
Ocho Cinco
Locked in. Wow.
Shannon Sharpe
The jets told Aaron Rodgers he couldn't appear on the Pat McAfee show anymore. If he wanted to be the neck, if he wanted to be with the jets next season, per Diana Rossini, she plugged in. She liked Jane Slater at the Cowboys. She liked Mary Kay Cabot with the Browns. When they speak, I really listen. I perk up to what they say. I was told that when Rodgers had his conversation, when Jazz had the conversation with Aaron Rodgers about what the future would look like. If you're going to be a part of this team, you're going to attend all of training camp. You're not going to do the Pat McAfee interviews anymore. They had a conversation with him. If you're going to stay here, here's how we want it to be. So this is me. Is Aaron Glenn getting control back? I love it.
Ocho Cinco
I like it, too. I like it, too. I like it, too. Now, listen, if the Pat McAfee show was conducive to the jets in helping in any way with winning, if it wasn't in the scene in a negative light, matter of fact, if you were performing the way you should be performing, if you were the Aaron Rodgers of old, you can go. You can go talk to goddamn Glenn Beck for all I care. You could talk to Fox, you could talk to cnn. If you were playing on Sundays and being productive and being the Aaron Rodgers devole, I wouldn't care who you talk to. You could be at the Playboy Mansion on your off day, but it just wasn't right. You're losing on the field, you're playing bad on the field, and you're doing a show that's causing controversy and conflict, creating chaos, and then your performance isn't.
Shannon Sharpe
Where it should be. Yeah, it's just tough, Ocho.
Ocho Cinco
It makes most sense.
Shannon Sharpe
It's tough when you play that position and guys see you doing. Cause normally the quarterback's locked in.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, yeah, Always.
Shannon Sharpe
Normally. Especially those level quarterbacks. And Aaron Rodgers was that level of quarterback. He was a Peyton Manning. He was a Tom Brady. He was that breeze. He was that level of quarterback. And normally those quarterbacks is a singular focus, and they're there in minicamp.
Ocho Cinco
No distractions.
Shannon Sharpe
None. None. And then you can't create a distraction and then get mad when people talk about said distraction.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You wrecked the car and then you mad at people stopping, looking at you, had the cars turned overside the road.
Ocho Cinco
You did it. That's a good one. I like that.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what I didn't, that's what I didn't understand about him. He talk about we gotta block out the noise, but it's him beating on the bucket in the hallway. He creating the noise that we hear. What didn't he see about that? Right? But see, four time mvp, you know, you get seduced by your own success and so you was like, hey, damn, what's in the best interest of the team? What's in the best interest of me? Most top tier quarterbacks don't think like that. They don't. All I can say is the quarterbacks of his era, you think Brady thought like that? You thought Manning thought like that? You look at Mahomes now every week, o I can see, you know, hey, as a favor to you, payback, I like you. I like what you stand for, bro. I'm gonna come on your show once, but every week, right? That's a tough one. That's a, that's a. That's a. That's a. That's a real tough one. And I'm telling you guys look at stuff like that. Yeah. Oh, they watch it. They're watching. Go look. Listen to when, when, when Brady went to Tampa. What I did in New England ain't got ish to do with what I'm about to do in Tampa. Peyton Manning said what I did in Indy, but that's not how he thought. He like, hey, what did he say at the end of the season if my resume isn't good enough? He said it. Now, if it's a lie, he said it. Y'all heard him. The thing that I love so much about sports is that you must update that resume on a weekly basis. He's standing on what I've already done should be enough to allow me to be going any situation I want to and do it how I want to.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Jesse? Nah, we cool. Moving forward, it's going to be our way. Oh yeah, everyone, way to do things my way of Trailway and I think Trailway and Greyhound merged, didn't it? So they went one bus up out of town. Just go all in. Say, you know what? My last year I'm about to be. What is he about to be? 41. If he's not already 41. I'm gonna see what I got one last year. I'm gonna lock everything out. I ain't really, you know, I ain't gonna be on none of this bull jive about the government doing this and us Foals, Ivermectin and whatever the case may be. All I'm thinking about is all football. Because I promise you, you're closer to the end than the beginning. Promise you that For a guy to have that many MVPs and has only been to one Super bowl, you can make a case that, hey, with two, three Super Bowls on your now, we'd have been having a conversation with him. He the goat. He right there with Roger. I mean with Brady. Four MVPs.
Ocho Cinco
Four. Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean look, I think that's the thing that I respect most about like the great how bought in they are. And I used it like in football I terms you look at a Brady basketball, you look at a LeBron, you look at a Kobe.
Ocho Cinco
That's it, right?
Shannon Sharpe
That is it.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. All the greats were different. Not only did they were, they were. They were locked in not only for themselves, but they led by example for everybody else. And they set the standard. They set the standard. This is how you want to be great. If you want to be great, you don't have to be me, but you can do the things I do. If you fall short, you still gonna fall somewhere under the line of greatness. Discipline. It don't come down to discipline. No, that's in everything. You didn't want sports. You don't even have to be sports, just in life in general. You will get the results if you lock in and you have any small amount of discipline. That's all it takes.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
And you know they gotta be something wrong to too. They get up and do the same thing over and over and over and over and over until it becomes a habit.
Shannon Sharpe
Greatness is boring. Greatness is boring. It's a monotonous. It's a monotonous trait because you're doing the same thing over and over, hoping for the same result. What do you think Brady did in the off season? Did you hear him tell the story about that? When he played Kansas City in that super bowl, he was so locked in, he knew what they were going to do before they knew what they were going to do. How much film you think Peyton off season? You hear Ray Lewis say, well, if I got, if I want to beat Peyton and if I want to beat Tom, I got to watch as much film as they watch. I got to be as locked in as they are. I think the thing is that when you hear people talk about those guys One of the first things outside of how great they were is leadership. What are you talking about, Tom Brady? What are you talking about? Leadership. Talking about Ray Lewis, talking about might be the greatest team sport leader in the history. You hear Peyton, you hear certain guys that that word just automatically rolls off people's tongues, right? Rogers is 41. But if I was him and I was going to come back, I'm going all in. I'm an empty detain. I'm going to empty the tank. Got one more year. I got. I got nine months. And then after that I got the rest of my life to do whatever I want. Hey, P. Matt, Whatever. You got me a job. You got me a job because I'm about to come. I'm about to come every Tuesday. I'm about to be on your show.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, you can do it. You could do as. You can do as many shows as you want to. You go as many, many dark retreats as you want to. But if you haven't done it, if you haven't done it in this long, it's hard the chance of doing it now. Out the blue.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
It ain't.
Shannon Sharpe
Joe Bury is projected to have a $46.3 million cap in 2025 OJO. The Bengals are projected to have 45, almost $46 million in cap space, but that is before signing the necessary players to start the season. In addition to the incoming draft plans, Burrow also referenced the Eagles, who've been able to sign multiple players to veteran deals despite also giving quarterback Jalen Hurts a huge contract that puts him among the league highest paid players. The Cincinnati quarterback played, praised, excuse me, the weights. Philly treated the salary cap to build a championship caliber team. The Eagles are paying everybody. That seems like the way whatever they're doing. Was this the best. Was this a shot at the Bengals organization?
Ocho Cinco
I wouldn't say it's a shot at the Bengals organization. I say it's a message to the organization. Look how they did things, look how they're doing things. They're able to have a team like that, have everybody together, have everybody happy and still able to function and compete for a title. I think we need to take this is like I say it all the time, we are Copycam. Copy what they're doing. We need to copy what they're doing and keep our band together, one band, one sound, so we can compete the same goddamn way.
Shannon Sharpe
But you're gonna have to let some people go. You see a luxurious need. He had to go. You see gay. He had to go. You See, Wylan, he ended up leaving. You know what I'm saying, don't y'all? I mean, you can't. Hey, you try to keep the court. Think about it.
Ocho Cinco
They traded Tyreek.
Shannon Sharpe
They're probably going to lose. Trey Smith.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You can't keep everybody. Okay? The core. Can we keep my homeboy? Obviously is a non negotiable. We kept Trav. We kept Chris Jones. Right. We drafted well. We got McDuffie. Karloftus hit a couple in free agency. But the problem is, is that you let Jamar Chase is not giving you a discount. He.
Ocho Cinco
We know that you made him play it out.
Shannon Sharpe
And the guy hit the triple crown. He got the triple crown. You're gonna have to pay him 40 million. Yeah, well, you could have had him. Oh, yo, we say we could have had him. Okay. You could have paid it. 35, 36. But now he's gonna want 40 plus.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, you want. Yeah, you chose to play hardball and T. Higgins.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but if you notice, look what they did to devonte before his contract came up. They redid it.
Ocho Cinco
We didn't got him, got him, got him done on purpose.
Shannon Sharpe
Now the Eagles, now they're probably not going to be able to sign Josh Sweat it. Interesting. He has some interesting comments. I don't know if you saw what he said. I don't know what we talked about. Hopefully we do. But look, they're doing a great job. They got some guys. You look at Dijon and you got Mitchell. They on rookie deals. Jalen Carter, rookie deal. Nicole Dean, rookie deal. Nolan Smith Jr. Rookie deal. Jordan Davis, rookie deal.
Ocho Cinco
See, they got a good chance. Boy, they got a good chance of running back.
Shannon Sharpe
Offensive line got him locked up. Saquon got him locked up. Jalen hurts. He's also locked up.
Ocho Cinco
See, they looking good. Real good.
Shannon Sharpe
Look real good.
Ocho Cinco
Dang.
Shannon Sharpe
But that's what you have to do. You have to have guys that, hey, they want to be there, want to get locked in. Yeah, I'm a firm believer. I'm a firm believer that the Eagles are built. They got another two years. Two, three years. They got another two, three years. Jalen Carter. Hey, Jalen Carter's gonna get a big contract. He's a preeminent D tackle in football, right?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Nolan Smith, he might be undersized, but he was destroying those pulling guards. I mean, he can't weigh more than 230, but boy, boy, he was a headache because I. Ooh, he was dropping a ham on folks. But I look, Joe's like, bro, almost 5,000 yards is fine, 43 touchdowns is mine, bro. I'm home. With stats like this. Yeah, we got a triple crown winner. That's home. That cannot happen again. Absolutely. And it's damn sure ain't gonna happen on my watch. So if they can. If they can get it. If they can get it. If, you know, rework his contract, get chased. But if I'm chased, I can't do. I can't do the first one now. Hey, Joe. The second one. Hey, but I'm finna take a big ass bite of this apple. Yeah, I'm gonna take a big bite of this apple, Ocho. And some. I just got a feeling, Ocho, somebody gonna throw so much money. Football players don't turn down 40 million baseball players don't turn down 40 million basketball players turn that down. Like, hey, I want to be in a better situation. I'm gonna be such and such, not football. Because the money's not guaranteed, right. I can't turn down for 49. What? What? And then I don't get no lifetime health benefits. Right. And you know, a medical expenses. Eat up yours. Or a family member, wife, kids, eat up a savings.
Ocho Cinco
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
Retirement. Oh, no, I got to get all that, Ocho. I gotta get every last. I gotta get every last dime that they promised me. I'm sorry. Cause T was a second round pig, Ocho. So he didn't get that. He didn't get that first down, you know, that 15, 20 million dollar guarantee.
Ocho Cinco
Listen, I say. I said it before and I say it again. He needs and deserves every dime. Go get it every time.
Shannon Sharpe
It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness.
Ashlyn Harris
We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me.

Shannon Sharpe
Bill's running back, James Cook wants an extension worth at least 15 million per season.
Ocho Cinco
Damn. As a running back? Well, hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
That.
Ocho Cinco
That puts him up in the upper echelon now with, with, with McAffrey, with the Derrick Henry with the Saquon.
Shannon Sharpe
Saquon is about 13 and a half. Christian McCaffrey I think is about 16.
Ocho Cinco
What did Derrick.
Shannon Sharpe
Derrick Henry is eight. Jonathan Taylor's another one. I think he makes like 12. 13.
Ocho Cinco
And James Cook won 15.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what he said. Come on, come on. What's up, buddy? You just could not stay out. You just could.
Ocho Cinco
What they do twins.
Shannon Sharpe
Could not.
Ocho Cinco
We gonna get our show, you hear me?
Shannon Sharpe
You want to do a show with Ocho? So what's it gonna be called? How. What's my faith? Are you paying me a farmer's dog or what? I just need to know what you paying me in. Not no tennis balls. Cause I don't play no fetch. I don't want no.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, yellow 2.0.
Shannon Sharpe
You should be in the bed. Why are you still up at 12:00? I mean, at 10:00. Yeah. Oh, Ocho, 15.
Ocho Cinco
That's a lot. Yeah, hold on. He said he's a. He's a. He's an intricate part.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, yes.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, he's a very important piece of that offense now. But 15 is a loss. Is. You know what? Who am I to say is too much? If you want 15, you get you 15. Are they gonna pay you 15?
Shannon Sharpe
Ask 15. They probably gonna land on 12. Yeah, I just. Being honest, don't you. I'll just be it honest.
Ocho Cinco
I like, I like, I like. I like brother Cook. I like the way you're thinking. Go a little high, they gonna bring it low. And when they bring it low, they gonna shoot you right where you want to be.
Shannon Sharpe
A for the stars. Land on the moon.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, talk to me, man. I'm with you. I'm putting up what you're putting down.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Joe. The Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat had one of the all time best defensive performance in super bowl history. He did not become the seventh defensive player of the year, including co defensive player of the year Harvey Martin and Randy White. When they beat the brakes out of the Broncos and the Superdome, Jalen Hurts instead won that award for the 34th time a quarterback has been the MVP in 59 Super Bowls. The NFL no longer announces the places of the other finishers, so it is unknown if Sweat even finished second. I should have had it. Sweat said I could have had it. It's all good though. Ocho, you like him saying this?
Ocho Cinco
I mean, it's cool. I understand it. He had a hell of a performance. He was a big reason, big part of their success defensively, so I totally get it. But you know, in the grand scheme of things. The quarterback had one hell of a game, and he's the reason why they were able to win that game. He's the reason why they were able to win that game. Obviously, defensively, they gave Mahomes hell. They beat that offensive lineup so bad. I felt bad. I felt bad for my homes, you know, around that. Around that second, second, second quarter, third quarter, the way he just kept getting healed, just. Just kept getting hit.
Shannon Sharpe
The rel.
Ocho Cinco
The relentless pressure all game, not. Not allowing him to breathe, suffocating them the entire time. No, I then. Very few times I've seen Mahomes with. With happy feet in the pocket, uncomfortable, not being able to drop back, not being able to go through his reads, not being able to go through his progressions like they did that one hell of a job. But Jalen hurts. He deserved that mvp.
Shannon Sharpe
I just.
Ocho Cinco
He did what?
Shannon Sharpe
You won the Super Bowl. You won the super bowl and you complaining about. See, you complain about an individual award.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, I mean, listen, he played well. Now he wasn't no goddamn Lawrence Taylor type performance. Now, let's not go there.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, what do you have? Two and a half sacks? He played.
Ashlyn Harris
He.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho played really well. But I'm like, bro, now it's too soon. Too soon. Maybe 10 years from now, y'all sitting on the porch, man. Y'all know I should have won. I should have been super bowl mvp. Look at the stat. Nah, I say that then, not now, Ocho.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, but even still, you're not winning that award over a quarterback, especially not one that played that well.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I guess. I guess he like, I ain't coming back. So I'm finna say anything to make sure I don't come back. Make sure I don't come back. On joke, Coach GM Chris Ballard says Anthony Richardson hasn't proven that he can play a full 17 game season and that the team needs to add another quarterback to compete with him. Ocho, you like what I'm saying?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Listen, I like Chris Ballard. Light a fire up on the. Light a fire up on the young bull. Light a fire up under him. I like when I was saying that, obviously you taking a knee, taking yourself out the game, you already know what you need to do. I hope Anthony Richardson doesn't take this to heart. I hope he doesn't take it as disrespect. This is merely just a challenge. Let me go and show you that I can play a full 17 game season without getting injured. Let me show you I'm the quarterback of the future. Let me show you. I'm your franchise quarterback. Let me show you. Please, do me a favor and bring somebody in to compete for my job. Watch me raise my level of play. I have no problem with competition at all. Now, this is me speaking. I like it. I love it. I'm not sure how he's going to react to it. Normally, when you have a veteran quarterback, you don't want to bring in another presence that can challenge them. Allah. Ben Roethlisberger. Allah. Aaron Rodgers getting upset with Jordan Love coming in a lot. Brett Favre getting upset when Aaron Rodgers came in. But as a young bull, as a young pup, this is a challenge. You have to take that challenge.
Shannon Sharpe
He brought this on himself.
Ocho Cinco
Take that bull back home. Yeah, I understand. I understand. And he understands. I hope he understands.
Shannon Sharpe
You think they breaking it?
Ocho Cinco
But I like the ch. I like the challenge.
Shannon Sharpe
I wish.
Ocho Cinco
Bring them in.
Shannon Sharpe
Bringing a challenger for Jaden Daniels. They bringing the challenger for Knicks. What about K. Williams crowd?
Ocho Cinco
You ain't for the fine.
Shannon Sharpe
So he brought it on himself.
Ocho Cinco
Let me tell you something. Hey, hold on. Yeah, he brought it on himself. But let me tell you something. Them boys like you just named Boy, they ain't falling off the trees like that. They. Them apples not falling off the tree like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Is that what Anthony Richardson was supposed to be?
Ocho Cinco
Oh, he is he. Get it together. Don't do him like that. Don't do him like that. I understand what you're saying. There are certain things he shouldn't be doing. There's certain things he shouldn't have done.
Shannon Sharpe
That's. That's. That's my only point.
Ocho Cinco
That's why him is saying this. But, gm, you know better. You know what you got on your hands. Maybe this is your way of getting him in line. Maybe this is your way of getting the best out of him. I don't have no problem with it at all. Challenge me.
Shannon Sharpe
But he. But of all the guys, he had the most question marks coming out. Ocho. Yeah. Now he's a physical specimen. Yeah. Rocket arm can run through tackles, can run over people, run through. I think he needs to redefine some, refine some of that touch. Cause he throws everything like you trying to throw it through the eye of a hurricane. Throws a good deep ball. I mean, he needs some touch. But he had the most red flags when it came not to. Not his. His behavior, but just his own field play.
Ocho Cinco
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
And so hopefully he's like, you know what? I'm gonna show these.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm gonna show them what I. You Drafted me with the number four pick overall for a reason. I'm gonna show you why. Come in in great shape. Study. Hey, I'll devote two hours a day. I'll go back and look at every game. Every game we play. I devote two hours a day to that in the off season. And I'm gonna look at some of the other quarterbacks. Hey, coach, who you think. Who do you think I should look at? Let me look at some of Brady's tape. Let me look at some of Peyton Manning tape. Let me look at some of Bree's tape. Let me look at some of Roethlisberger's tape.
Ocho Cinco
You know, I. I think it would be more conducive for him, based on his style of play, to watch players that were more like him. Who watching watch players tape that don't play like you. I don't. I don't think it does you no justice who plays like him.
Shannon Sharpe
You. Oh, you would have say lama. Okay, okay. Yeah, Yeah, I like that.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
But you know what I'm just. I'm studying. What I'm studying, Ocho, is what they see and how so quickly they recognize and get the ball out.
Ocho Cinco
Okay, okay, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
That's all. I ain't looking at no footwork. Hell no. He ain't got no footwork like. No footwork like that. But I'm just. I'm just looking to see how fast they can process information.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
And get rid of the football. Recognize it and react.
Ocho Cinco
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho. The Chiefs may be forced to release Travis Kelce this off season due to an almost $20 million cap hit. This would be the highest cap hit for a tight end in the entire league, given that Kelsey at times struggled this year to get open and to create separation. Ocho, is this the end of Travis Kelce, who I believe is the goat tight end, and his relationship with the Chiefs?
Ocho Cinco
Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Obviously, you know Patrick Mahomes, you know Kelsey and all other players that are part of that team that are going to be there next year, not those that are on a one year deal. Travis Kelsey is a team player. He's a team player and he's making so much money off the field, he's not going to have a problem taking a pay cut. He's not going to have a problem doing that because he going to make up for whatever he. Whatever he doesn't get off the field because he has so much going on. Listen, this is the same situation with Tom Brady, who was Tom Brady dating when he was taking pay cuts? In New England to make sure they kept the team around him.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but that. He ain't married to Taylor yet. He might as well go and propose then if he want that type.
Ocho Cinco
Trust me. He good. Trust me. Good. He's dating a billionaire, I think.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I look tied up.
Ocho Cinco
I think he has no worries. He has so. He has so many endeavors going on. Off the field.
Shannon Sharpe
He does.
Ocho Cinco
I have no problem. I'm a team player. I'm a team player to come back to keep the band together, to be able to get some. Some other key offseason acquisitions. I have no problem doing that and coming back and make and giving this thing another go. He can do that. So he's not one that's hurting for. So he'll be fine.
Shannon Sharpe
I can see him going to Hollywood. He has that look. He has that swag. I can see him parlaying what he's been able to do in football on the field and parlaying that off the field. He has that. The question is, Ocho, as you get older, Travis is flying all over the place. He wants to be with the lady, a love of his life. He's going to have to make a decision. How important is football to him?
Ocho Cinco
You can't. You can't. You can't go out like this. This can't. This can't be the last taste. This can't be the last taste in your mouth.
Shannon Sharpe
Hell, it might be getting worse.
Ocho Cinco
Not a game like this. Not like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, the thing is about sports. It's funny how sports work, because everybody, like, you can't go out like that. And then you come back and it's worse. This next last time, you like, well, I can't go out back and it just keep getting worse and worse. There is no guarantee. It's not a situation where you get like a John Elway, I want a championship. Super bowl mvp. I'm done. Or Michael Strahan. They win, they take down the Giants. I mean, excuse, the Giants take down the Patriots. The super bowl is in Detroit. He's from Detroit.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
The bus stops here. So it's not always like that. We don't always get that Hollywood ending, although we might want that Hollywood ending. The question is that I think he's gonna have to sit down and ask himself, how much more do I want to give? What do I have? Because let me ask you a question, Ocho. He comes back, what can he do that's going to change the perception of what you think of Travis Kelsey? Me, personally, I think he's the goat tight end.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure what's going to change. I just know and understand the chemistry and continuity that him and Patrick Mahomes have. Patrick Mahomes having that security blanket, obviously, when they bolster and help and get that. That offensive line together, I think things will be a little bit more easy for him. The chemistry and the continuity odds between the crew. Noah Gray, Xavier Worthy is going to be back. I'm not sure about Hollywood. I'm not sure about Hollywood Brown and DeAndre Hopkins, but whatever other pieces they bring into that table. And I know that game left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, including Travis Kelsey. And I definitely believe he's not going to want to go out like that. I believe it's one thing to lose, but. But belt to. To. To aws. That's not what they want. I'm not going.
Shannon Sharpe
I believe in order for him to come back to Ocho, he gonna have to take a pay cut. He's gonna have to take a sizable pay cut.
Ocho Cinco
I don't think he have a problem with that. He ain't gonna have no problem doing that. He ain't gonna have a problem.
Shannon Sharpe
Say that because we say that because it's not our money. Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
I mean, listen. And just understanding how much he has going on, understanding the individual that he. Listen, if this comes out knowing. I mean, just Taylor Swift look like the type of woman anyway. Oh, baby, they want you to take a pay cut. So from 20 million to 10. You know what? Here, go to 10. They were going to take from you. She looked like that type just to cut. You cut your $10 million check right there on the spot. That's it. That's just me.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Ocho Cinco
You know, they say God love. God love the cheerful giver.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness.

I say, look, I'll pay for you to go to your girlfriend's wedding, right? We ended up breaking up, and I told her I hit her up. I said, hey, I promise you, I was going to.

Shannon Sharpe
Doing for me, what she's providing, what is that worth to you?
Ocho Cinco
That's a good one. Now, I think people in the chat might not understand that because they don't see it, because they're not in that position or understanding of all I have going on outside of the jokes and the laughs, the serious part of life. So how much is that worth? How do you value that?
Shannon Sharpe
It's only. What is it worth to you? Because I can tell you what. But she's not doing that for me. If you had to pay somebody to do that, it wouldn't be.
Ocho Cinco
It wouldn't be as much as what you told me to fork off. I don't think what you think. I'm not sure.
Shannon Sharpe
First of all, do you want. Do you trust somebody to handle your business like that? To know your things now? Exactly. So it's worth that. It's worth that for me to try to replace Shelly. For I trust somebody implicitly. Could put a price on it. Right.

Club Shay Shay - Episode Summary
Title: Nightcap- Hour 2: Elliott says no to Rodgers, Sweat wants SB MVP, Saquon’s SB chain
Release Date: February 19, 2025
Hosts: Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Cinco
Description: NFL legend Shannon Sharpe discusses the latest happenings in the NFL with co-host Ocho Cinco, delving into player movements, contract negotiations, and standout performances.
The episode kicks off with discussions about the rumored move of veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Shannon Sharpe highlights an important development:
Shannon Sharpe [04:57]: "At least one player isn't interested in the service. Steelers safety DeSean Elliott commented on Instagram post and made it clear that he doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh."
Ocho Cinco further emphasizes Elliott's stance:
Ocho Cinco [04:57]: "When you pull the stuff you pulled during the off season... players see that, they don't want no part of that."
This exchange underscores Elliott's influence within the team and his desire to maintain the Steelers' current dynamics without the addition of Rodgers.
The conversation shifts to Rodgers' negotiations with the Jets, particularly the conditions set by the team:
Shannon Sharpe [05:25]: "The Jets told Aaron Rodgers he couldn't appear on the Pat McAfee show anymore. If he wanted to be with the Jets next season, per Diana Rossini..."
Ocho Cinco critiques Rodgers' approach:
Ocho Cinco [07:35]: "If you were performing the way you should be performing... It just wasn't right."
Sharpe and Cinco debate Rodgers' focus and the potential distractions his media appearances may cause, comparing him to legendary quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning who maintained singular focus on their game.
The hosts delve into what sets elite quarterbacks apart, citing examples:
Shannon Sharpe [07:11]: "Aaron Rodgers was that level of quarterback. He was a Peyton Manning. He was a Tom Brady."
Ocho Cinco adds:
Ocho Cinco [11:16]: "That's a lot. Yeah."
They discuss the importance of discipline, leadership, and maintaining focus, highlighting how quarterbacks like Brady, Manning, and Mahomes exemplify these traits. Shannon Sharpe emphasizes:
Shannon Sharpe [12:37]: "Greatness is boring. It's a monotonous trait because you're doing the same thing over and over, hoping for the same result."
The conversation shifts to the Cincinnati Bengals' financial and strategic positioning compared to the Philadelphia Eagles:
Shannon Sharpe [29:01]: "He the goat. He right there with Roger. I mean with Brady. Four MVPs."
Ocho Cinco suggests the Bengals look to the Eagles for inspiration:
Ocho Cinco [15:19]: "Look how they did things, look how they're doing things. We need to copy what they're doing and keep our band together..."
Sharpe acknowledges the challenges:
Shannon Sharpe [16:05]: "He had to go... you can't keep everybody."
The hosts analyze the Bengals' cap space, projected at approximately $46 million for Joe Burrow, and compare it to the Eagles' strategic investments in key players while managing their salary cap effectively.
A notable highlight is the discussion around Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat and his aspirations for Super Bowl MVP:
Shannon Sharpe [26:11]: "The Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat had one of the all-time best defensive performances in Super Bowl history."
Ocho Cinco responds:
Ocho Cinco [27:02]: "I understand it. He had a hell of a performance... But Jalen Hurts... He deserved that MVP."
Sharpe laments the NFL’s MVP selection process:
Shannon Sharpe [28:27]: "He won the Super Bowl. You won the Super Bowl and you're complaining about an individual award."
The discussion moves to Jacksonville Jaguars' running back James Cook and his contract demands:
Shannon Sharpe [24:10]: "James Cook wants an extension worth at least 15 million per season."
Ocho Cinco compares Cook to other elite running backs:
Ocho Cinco [24:22]: "That puts him up in the upper echelon now with McAffrey, with Derrick Henry, with Saquon."
Sharpe speculates on the likelihood of Cook securing the full $15 million:
Shannon Sharpe [25:36]: "Ask 15. They probably gonna land on 12. Yeah, I'll just be honest..."
Towards the end of the episode, the hosts touch on Saquon Barkley receiving a new chain post-Super Bowl victory:
Shannon Sharpe [42:07]: "Saquon Barkley got a new chain for his birthday after winning the Super Bowl."
Ocho Cinco reacts enthusiastically:
Ocho Cinco [42:18]: "Okay, I like that. That's Benny the Jeweler. Nice now."
This light-hearted segment highlights Barkley's celebration and the cultural aspects of NFL success.
Shannon Sharpe [05:25]: "The Jets told Aaron Rodgers he couldn't appear on the Pat McAfee show anymore."
Ocho Cinco [07:35]: "It just wasn't right."
Shannon Sharpe [12:37]: "Greatness is boring. It's a monotonous trait because you're doing the same thing over and over, hoping for the same result."
Ocho Cinco [15:19]: "We need to copy what they're doing and keep our band together."
Shannon Sharpe [26:11]: "The Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat had one of the all-time best defensive performances in Super Bowl history."
Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Cinco provide a deep dive into the current NFL landscape, addressing player movements, contract negotiations, and individual performances. They emphasize the importance of discipline and focus for elite quarterbacks, critique Aaron Rodgers' potential move and media distractions, and analyze team strategies regarding salary cap management. The hosts also celebrate standout performances like Josh Sweat's defensive prowess and Saquon Barkley's personal milestones, offering listeners a comprehensive overview of recent NFL developments.
This episode serves as a valuable resource for NFL fans seeking informed opinions and in-depth discussions on the league's latest happenings.
