Nightcap Hour 3: Travis Hunter PUTS on MUSCLE + Jahmyr Gibbs CONTRACT HOLD Out + Davante Adams Wants to EXTEND Career + 49ers INJURY List

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Travis Hunter pulled on some muscles in the off season, and you can see the two photos right there, look at year one. And you look at year two.

**Chad Johnson** (0:11)
Damn. Boy, that's a huge difference. That boy eating, you know what I'm saying?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:16)
Hey, all I can do is look, I ain't gotta look. Hey, just look at his face.
Look at his face, Ocho. He got caps on his delts. Hey, his chest, his arms, delts. Yeah, he like he put on about 10, 15 pounds.

**Chad Johnson** (0:33)
Oh yeah, easy.

**Joe Johnson** (0:34)
Yeah, you don't feel that like, long as it doesn't take away, his quick twitch, his athleticism, you know, his ability to transition some of the things that made him special. You know, at Colorado, putting on all that muscle, you know, it takes away from being able to do all the things that he's known to do.
Now, you're putting on the muscle to keep from getting yourself injured, that's one thing, but also getting too bulky and getting too big, it takes away some of the things that makes you special and separates you from everybody else.

**Chad Johnson** (1:06)
That man, hey, hey, that man been in the weight room, he had that little injury, and I feel like he been in the weight room since then to try and get back. That boy been eating away his Unc and Ochocinco.

**Joe Johnson** (1:20)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:20)
He look good.

**Joe Johnson** (1:21)
That boy special.

**Chad Johnson** (1:21)
He do.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:22)
Give him that, he look good.

**Joe Johnson** (1:23)
That boy special.

**Chad Johnson** (1:24)
He like a totally different damn person.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:27)
Running back, Jahmyr Gibbs has now missed five straight practices and still no deal in sight with Detroit Lions. Gibbs on the holdout, only time will tell. Gibbs didn't ask if his absence was contract related. Nah, it's not about that, Gibbs said. Asked about what is it about, Gibbs said, I don't know. Gibbs is currently the NFL's highest, 31st highest paid running back, with an average salary of $4.46 million. Saquon Barkley is the highest paid running back. What up, guys?
Making about $20.6 million a year. Ocho, I'm gonna throw it to you first.

**Joe Johnson** (2:00)
Yes, sir.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:00)
They're making a mistake by not taking care of Gibbs' contract.

**Joe Johnson** (2:05)
I mean, yeah, absolutely. They're making a mistake, obviously. I think they're working out the numbers. They're working out the numbers. He knows that he's holding in for a reason.
I'm sure that Chad would agree with me when it comes to the best running backs in the game. I think the one, two, regards to who you ask. If you know football and watched football the past two to three years, it'd probably be between Jahmyr Gibbs and B'Jah Robinson based on who you ask. So he needs to be paid as such at the top five running back in the NFL. And his contract right now, it just doesn't justify what he's done so far and what he's going to continue to do. So I understand him holding in. They do need to get him back going because one of the things that I do hate and we see it every time you have these contract disputes, even though you're holding in the way you're holding out, when you do get back to going to full speed and you go from zero to 60, what's the one thing that has to happen?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:56)
You get nicked.

**Joe Johnson** (2:58)
Every time, Joe, every time. And for someone like that, that's a speed demon.
He need to be going through all of them drills, being pushed and tugged and I just hope they rectify that situation fast as possible.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:14)
They got to make him the highest player. He and Bijon. Bijon, I mean, Saquon is at 20.6. I think Christian McCaffrey is at 19
He and Bijon, they got to jump both of them.

**Chad Johnson** (3:26)
Oh, yeah. The Lions got to take care of them because they can't start the season without him, bro. It's a little different when we talk about Pickens versus Jahmyr Gibbs and what he's done in the past. Since he's been in the league the past three, four years, you know what I mean? He's been exceptional. So I can't see the Lions making do way too long, too much longer. But I do agree with you, Ocho. When you sit out for so long, you can't make up ground like that because these dudes already been working for two, three weeks or a month in. And then as soon as you jump in, you jump right on the freeway. That thing, man, you got to stop at a few lights. Yeah.
