Uh-oh, Dak Prescott's patience is wearing thin in 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, 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? And people asking, holding me to the same standard that I believe I can accomplish, and the teams that I believe I can beat, and the team can accomplish. Ocho, 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)
The Aarons did it to you.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:01)
It wasn't the office, the office. And then the Rams did it to you. Everybody just beat y'all down, Ocho. All right, that's enough, not too much.

**Chad Johnson** (1:09)
Not too much, not too much. 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.
IA., boom, whatever, he signed it, he's going to play, he's going to repeat it again. The Achilles heel for the Cowboys, the only issue the Cowboys are going to have is, what are they going to do on defense? Offensively, they're juggernaut, they're going to 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 going to do defensively? For one, can we stop the run?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:01)
Ocho, I think the thing is Jerry said that he has a, they got 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?
Now the reports are that he has a tree there. 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 rusher. I heard the problem that I believe they're going to have, even if it's not during the season.
How you pay Pink 43 million and CD. Lamb is your number one in making 34?

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

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:43)
You know that's going to be the problem, Ocho. 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 going to be upset.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:55)
That's my point with him signing in Dallas. I'm not saying he's not going to get his money, but it's just going to be hard to give him. And now, Joe, the problem that the Cowboys are going to run into is that you made him play that one year on that franchise tag. So he's not going to 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. Yeah. 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 and his contract? When did his contract go on Ocho? He signed a four-year extension. So he probably what? Two years into it, Ocho?
If you signed a four-year extension, I think he signed four years, which means he had two years still left on the...
