Oh, Ocho, I know you're happy about this. The Giants traded Pro Bowl defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals, for the 10th pick in next week's NFL Draft. The Giants now own pick number five and pick number 10 in the first round. The Cincinnati Bengals. No, no, they're not, no, they're not.

**Chad Johnson** (0:34)
They're absolutely not. Hey, Joe, Joe, we getting better, huh? Joe, listen, we getting better. We gave up the 10th pick, right?
You hear me, Unc?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:43)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (0:44)
We gave up the 10th pick and let a first round pick go that you don't know. You don't know what you're getting with your first round pick. Now, we looked at that. You read off Dexter Lawrence stats, right?
Based on what he did last year, okay? We know what he was the year before that and we know what he did the year before that. When we talk about the top defensive tackle, Joe, in the NFL, Dexter Lawrence is still one of those difference makers, a difference maker who is double-teamed 60 to 70% of the time.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:15)
Okay.

**Chad Johnson** (1:15)
They will be real quick. When we talk about the top defensive tackles in the NFL that can make an impact, we have opportunity to get one of those who had a down season. The Bengals were extremely, extremely bad on defense last year.
One, we couldn't stop the goddamn run.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:32)
Right.

**Chad Johnson** (1:33)
We got brother Jared Adams. Now we bring in brother Dexter Lawrence, who probably needed to change the scenery. Outside of having a down year, there were probably some internal issues. We didn't want to be there.
What can we get?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:46)
Well, he didn't have... Ocho, Joe, he had no more guaranteed money. He wanted to do the deal.

**Chad Johnson** (1:54)
He got one.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:55)
I got... Hey, bless his heart.
I just... And I said this, I don't believe the Giants can do that based on the half a sack that he gave him last year. And that's it? I paid you for those years, the promo years, I paid you for that. Now I've got to pay you based on what I believe you will do moving forward.
Now, you trade for him, who did you... I remember the Giants traded for... Not the Giants, the Jets traded for Hassan Reddick. Remember he was with the Eagles, Joe? And Ocho, he was with the Eagles. The Jets trade for him. You trade for him if you're not gonna give him a contract and you thought he was gonna come. So the Bengals, if you're not gonna give him a contract, you just wasted a...

**Chad Johnson** (2:41)
Joe, you know we're gonna give him a contract, huh? We're not playing no game.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:43)
What y'all cheap ass ain't gonna get nothing.

**Chad Johnson** (2:45)
Joe Burrow already sent that message in the middle of the season, Joe. You know that's why they're making the move they're making defensively. Mike Brown, Katie and Troy, no, Joe is not playing.
Build a team around me that is competent, especially on the other side of the ball. So if we score 50 points, the other team don't score 52
And they're showing, they put their money where their mouth is. And we talk about, listen, hold on. We talk about Dexter Lawrence, right? You talk about last year. He missed the time last year, too, Unc. You know he had an elbow injury. He had an elbow, his elbow was messed up.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:15)
Huh?

**Chad Johnson** (3:16)
The year before that, he was the seventh best player in the goddamn league. And we talk about from, you know, from a defensive tackle position.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:25)
But, hey, hey, is what have you done for me lately, Ocho? You know that.

**Chad Johnson** (3:29)
Yes! Ocho know that, too. I don't know why Ocho did that. Hey, Unc, Joe, I understand that, but I'm tell...

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:34)
Ocho, that man played 17 games last year. Joe, he missed no time.

**Chad Johnson** (3:39)
Hey, hold on. But no, not last year. No, no, he wasn't. He was hurt last year. What year was the Air Bowl? What was the year before?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:45)
He played 17 games, had 31 tackles, 14 solo, 17 assists, a half a sack. No fourth fumble, no fumble recovery. He had one interception. The year before, he played 12 games.
