Nightcap Hour 3: Devon Witherspoon BREAKS the BANK with Seahawks + BIG3 Playoff RECAP

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
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 Ratler was 8 of 11, 42 yards. Sacked twice, last play of the game, the Saints. Hey, a very interesting game. You know, they're going for the Gusto. Let's try to win this game at the World Cup. 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. And so now that's the way it's pronounced, Travis Achan, not A-T-N.
So that's that. But no, I thought the quarterbacks 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. 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.
Gonzalez is up there saying, hey, Patriots.

**Chad Johnson** (2:13)
Yeah. He going to reset it again. Yes, sir.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:15)
It's going to cost you $34 million.

**Chad Johnson** (2:17)
Yeah.
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 to mirror them.

**Chad Johnson** (2:37)
You have to do everything in front of them but backwards.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:40)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:41)
You know, so Witherspoon, I mean, 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, 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.
Quinn Yard Mitchell or Cooper DeJon. You can only play one.

**Chad Johnson** (3:18)
Hey, I can tell you who it's gonna be.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:20)
Who? I'm just telling you what they can do.

**Chad Johnson** (3:23)
What? Quinn Yard 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, you go over there. Oh, Brother Fangio? Listen, Quinn Yard, 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 Dijon to safety, and then they're going to move Dijon to the slot 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.
Quinn Yard, 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.
