Uh-oh, Dak Prescott's patience is wearing thin with the year 11, with the Cowboys going into year 11 I'm not going to shy away from it. When you don't have it, it sucks. When you don't get to play for it, when you're watching other teams in the playoffs, like there's nothing worse than that. Why shy away from it now? Why shy away from it? People asking, holding me to the same standard that I believe I can accomplish and the team can accomplish. Oh Joe, what's really going on? Hey, hey, hey. I like that, I like that. I like it too.

**Chad Johnson** (0:45)
Talk your junk, Jack.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:46)
I like it too. Don't shy away from it. But at the same time, we get in that damn same position we was in when Green Bay came in our house and put up...

**Chad Johnson** (0:55)
48 47

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:57)
Come on man.

**Chad Johnson** (0:58)
47 Joe.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:58)
Come on man. Green Bay did it to you.

**Chad Johnson** (1:00)
Aaron Rodgers did it to you.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:02)
And then the Rams did it to you. Everybody just beat y'all down though, Joe. All right.
That's enough. Not too much. Not too much.

**Chad Johnson** (1:10)
Hey Joe, can I tell you something Joe? I like the Cowboys. You hear me? I ain't got no problem with the Cowboys. Now I know I made fun and I was kind of upset that I knew they was going to play games with NBA Young, with NBA NFL Youngboy and not really give him his money. Make him prove himself again, which is obviously to me, all that is is the ownership saying, we don't believe you can do it again. And we don't trust you to give you what we think you're worthy of long-term, boom, whatever. He signed it. He gonna play, he gonna repeat it again. The Achilles heel for the Cowboys and the only issue the Cowboys are gonna have is what are they gonna do on defense? Offensively, they're juggernaut. They're gonna be straight. As long as CD stay healthy and Pickett stay healthy, you have a very, very good running back and Dak can get it done.
For them, it's going to be defense. What are we gonna do defensively? For one, can we stop the run?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:01)
Ocho, I think the thing is, Jerry said that he has an opportunity now. He was talking about the Max Crosby. Yeah. And they said, well, why didn't you revisit it? Jerry said, who said we didn't?
Ooh. Now, the reports are that he has a trait. He's talking to a team about, he didn't say offensively, he didn't say defensively. I think they're loaded on offense. I think they have enough offensively. I think defensively, they can definitely use another pass to pressure. I heard the problem that I believe they're gonna have, even if it's not during the season.
How you pay Pink 43 million and CD. Lam is your number one in making 34?

**Chad Johnson** (2:43)
Man, listen.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:43)
You know that's gonna be the problem, Mocho, you already know it.

**Chad Johnson** (2:46)
Yeah, and listen, it's a good problem to have.
It's a good problem to have. I just don't see how it's going to happen. Somebody's gonna be upset.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:55)
That's my point with him signing in Dallas. I'm not saying he's not gonna get his money, but it's just gonna be hard to give him. And now, Joe, the problem that the Cowboys are gonna run into is that you made him play that one year on that franchise tag. So he's not gonna give you a discount now because you put him in harm's way. You made him swim in shark-infested waters. You made him walk across the Savannah with the Lions.
So now I got to tax you. So now there's a 20% tax on what I would have made on top of that. Hey, I agree. I agree. What year is this CD. Lamb in his contract? When did his contract go up, Uncle Ocho? He signed a four-year extension. So he probably, what, two years in to it, Joe? Ocho?
If you signed a four-year extension, I think he signed four years, which means he had two years still left on the, so basically, so basically it was a six-year deal. So normally after the three years, they tear it up because you start getting to the back where they ain't no more guarantee money, Ocho, but you got big, big cap hits. And so now we just like, okay, we're going to give you another 55, $60 million, put more boardable years on the end, and we'll just kick the can down the road. But I, it's just gonna, it's gonna be hard to see your number one, and then you pay your number one making 34, and the other guy comes in, he's making 43, 44 But he gonna come back up though, and he gonna get his money again. So you gonna have two receivers making 40 million? Man, if we win it, we ain't got no choice.
