The Jaguars vs. the Saints, Jags win 24-20, Trevor Lawrence, Travis Hunter did not play. Carter Bradley for the Jags was 10 of 17, 105 yards, one touchdown, one interception.
Zach Wilson had had himself a day. He was 11 of 16, 145 yards of the touchdown. And Spencer Rattler was 8 of 11, 42 yards, sacked twice. Last play of the game, the Saints. Ayy, a very interesting game. You know, they're going for the Gusto. Let's try to win this game at New Orleans. Some people think they probably should have run the ball with one second on the clock, but I ain't got no problem with the call. I don't have no problem with it. If they'd have won the game, everybody would have been excited and happy. They didn't win.
Travis Achan, he said that you guys have been permissed pronouncing his name the whole row. It's not Travis Achan, it's Travis Achan. That's the way it's pronounced, Travis Achan, not A-T-N.
So that's that. But no, I thought the quarterback played well in this game. I mean, you know, Zach, your boy, Zach, Joe, Ocho had him a day, had him a nice little game.
**Chad Johnson** (1:18)
Yeah, listen, that's what he can do. That's what he's always been doing.
Listen, he hasn't been in great situations to be able to do that. You know, you have to think about where you got drafted now.
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:29)
Yeah, you're right.
**Chad Johnson** (1:30)
So, hey.
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:34)
You're right about that.
Okay, here's something we can sink our teeth into. Three-time Pro Bowl cornerback, Devon Witherspoon, and the Seahawks have reached an agreement. Four years, $132 million, $101 million guaranteed, making him the highest paid corner in NFL history. Ocho.
**Chad Johnson** (1:54)
Yes, sir.
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:56)
Spoon reset the market.
**Chad Johnson** (1:58)
Yes, sir.
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:59)
Just two years ago, the grand rate for a corner was about 20 million.
**Chad Johnson** (2:03)
Yes, sir.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:03)
Here we are now, two years later, it's $33 million. Yeah. Damn.
Gonzalez is up there saying, hey, Patriots.
**Chad Johnson** (2:13)
Yeah. Oh, he gonna reset it again. Yes, sir.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:15)
It's gonna cost you 34 million. Yeah.
**Chad Johnson** (2:17)
I'll finish that.
It's getting up there, too. As difficult as a cornerback position has been over the years to me, a lot of people will probably disagree with me, but I think playing cornerback is the most difficult position outside a quarterback.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:30)
Oh, it is.
**Chad Johnson** (2:31)
Almost even. Because you think about all these receivers, all these very talented elite receivers.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:36)
You got a mirror.
**Chad Johnson** (2:37)
Have to do everything in front of them but backwards.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:40)
Yeah.
**Chad Johnson** (2:42)
So Witherspoon, he's definitely deserving. If you've watched him, I've been watching him over the years. One of my favorite defensive backs, another player that I really, really enjoy watching and playing for the Detroit Lions is Brian Branch as well. So these are two of my favorites that don't get mentioned enough when it comes to secondaries or elite defensive back and safety play.
He's very, very worthy of this, man. I'm excited for him. I'm excited.
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:12)
Eagles, y'all can only play one. Quinian Mitchell or Cooper DeJon, you can only play one.
**Chad Johnson** (3:18)
Ayy. I can tell you who it's going to be.
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:20)
Who? I'll just tell you what they can do.
**Chad Johnson** (3:23)
What? Quinian Mitchell might be top three right now.
I'm talking about man to man. I don't know who the Eagles and Thiefers coordinator is, but I know one thing. Yeah.
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:33)
Big Fangio.
**Chad Johnson** (3:33)
You go over there. Oh, brother Fangio? Listen, I need you to do me a favor. I need you to hold down his left side, play man to man, so I can worry about everything else everywhere else.
That type of-
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:45)
Because you know they got Tariq Wolin. They got Wolin now and they moved DeJon to safety and then they're going to move DeJon to the slot, you know, when they bring nickel on the field.
**Chad Johnson** (3:55)
Man, that's not fair and you got them two hogs sitting up there on the front line too. Yeah.
Man, stop playing.
**Shannon Sharpe** (4:03)
So, Gonzalez is going to be looking for a huge payday, he's going to be looking at 34 million now.
Quinion, he's going to be looking at 34, 35 million. And guess who's coming back to the table? He's like, hey, you don't have to see me again. Pat? Pat.
