It pays to be ready. Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz earned $100,000 after replacing Kyler Murray in Minnesota's upset win over the Packers. It's an incentive bonus that the quarterback will earn in every game where he played at least 60% of the snaps and the team wins. The $100,000 bonus caps at six wins.

Each of the next six wins beyond that would be worth $150,000, provided he plays at least 60% of the snaps. Now you understand why walking to him came out there playing out of his mind. Let's go on the ground right quick. That's what I'm going to say. No one came out there throwing slang at that thing like he's your handsome one to be. Oh, walking to him, walked up and picked up 100,000. Just like that, Joe.

Chad Johnson (0:46)

Quick. Quick.

Iso Joe Johnson (0:49)

I like that.

Shannon Sharpe (0:51)

I'm sure he's looking to add to it too. You say it's 150 from here on out or something? 100 wasn't getting to 6, so now the sales win is 150,000.

Chad Johnson (1:03)

I think we should do that on here.

Iso Joe Johnson (1:05)

What's that?

Chad Johnson (1:06)

When it comes to us getting paid, when we write, we need to incentivize some little bonuses.

Shannon Sharpe (1:12)

What happens when you roam?

Chad Johnson (1:15)

You take some money back.

Yeah, you know, like nice little bonuses. What you think about that?

Shannon Sharpe (1:22)

Well, you be old after picking Cincinnati in the last two years. Man.

Chad Johnson (1:28)

Why are we talking about old stuff?

Shannon Sharpe (1:29)

Oh, my bad, my bad. You right, you right.

Chad Johnson (1:31)

It's 2026

Shannon Sharpe (1:33)

Right, right.

Chad Johnson (1:34)

We can't see we be going to be focused on the fans.

Shannon Sharpe (1:36)

You just try to win your fantasy. Just try to get fantasy right this week.

Iso Joe Johnson (1:38)

Make sure you start the right guy.

Chad Johnson (1:40)

Hey, let me tell you something. I got that. I'm confident. I'm confident in that.

Shannon Sharpe (1:44)

Are you confident you're going to beat me this week up?

Chad Johnson (1:46)

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_4 (1:47)

You don't stand a chance.

Shannon Sharpe (1:49)

And he got, and he on a little high horse this week too. I can tell. Your energy a little different. Your energy a little different. I ain't going to lie to you, Ocho.

Chad Johnson (1:56)

Hey, Joe, let me tell you something. My energy good. I'm feeling good. You hear me? Yeah, I can tell. I woke up this morning, Uncle Joe, you hear me?

SPEAKER_5 (2:03)

Hello.

Chad Johnson (2:05)

I'm an able body and an able mind, you hear me?

SPEAKER_5 (2:07)

Hello. Hello.

Chad Johnson (2:08)

I'm feeling good. When I put my feet on the ground, I was able to wiggle my toes.

SPEAKER_5 (2:12)

Hello.

Chad Johnson (2:13)

I was able to wiggle my fingers.

Shannon Sharpe (2:15)

Hello.

Chad Johnson (2:15)

Come on now.

Shannon Sharpe (2:16)

He gave you an opportunity, another one.

Chad Johnson (2:18)

Hey, another date. Hello.

Shannon Sharpe (2:21)

Let's see. The Giants, the Giants play the Rams on Monday night next week. What you saying? Hold on, I'm trying to see who I'm going to start.

Yeah, let me pull up my line. The Lions play the Jets. I'm about to start Jerry Golf over Matthew Stafford. That's what I'm trying to say. Oh, who the Rams play? The Giants. Oh, you scared of them Giants defense, huh? They made you a believer last night? No, bro, I'm looking at what you call them. I'm looking at Jerry Golf and his matchup at home versus the Jets. Oh, yeah, he probably going to get down, ain't he, man? Let me see what I got here.

I might stick with Stafford Lee one more week. Man, let me see who I got this week.

Chad Johnson (3:15)

Hey, you know the cream going to rise to the top, right? For all the teams that haven't played well.

Shannon Sharpe (3:20)

I play Ash. Man, Ash is about to beat the brakes off you. Man, please.

Chad Johnson (3:24)

Damn.

Shannon Sharpe (3:25)

Ash feeling good.

She the computer that accidentally picked K9 and now she happy. Oh, yeah, I got her. I ain't worried about that.

Chad Johnson (3:38)

I'm excited. I can't wait. Well, whoever got Jameer Gibbs, boy, you probably going to eat every week, every week. Because anytime you play the Lions, it's like you got to pick your poison.

Shannon Sharpe (3:49)

Yeah.

Chad Johnson (3:50)

You stack everybody in the box and you let J Moe and Amon Ra kill you. Or you play soft and you let Jameer Gibbs kill you.
