Nightcap Hour 3: Von Miller LOOKING for NEW Home + AFC Exec CALLS OUT Overpriced WRs

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Joe, Von Miller's looking for a new home. Look what he posted.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:04)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh. Hello, Von.
Hey boy, come on home, man. You know we got a spot for you. That two fold look good on you too, boy.

**Chad Johnson** (0:16)
Yeah, he from Texas, too rainy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:17)
He played at Texas Stadium. Makes sense. Demarcus Ware was one of his guys. He got an opportunity to play with D Ware in Denver. They won a championship together, Von with Super Bowl MVP. And you look at the limited number of snaps that he had last year, I think he had like seven, eight sacks.
Look, the one thing he could do, he can get out to the quarterback. And it's not going to cost you a whole lot of money.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:41)
Can he be, he could still be in that corner, he could still be in that edge.

**Chad Johnson** (0:44)
Oh yeah. He been in like Beckham, boy.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:50)
I know. Look, I'm a Von Miller fan, man, especially he come to the Cowboy. Hey boy, hey, hey, hey, boy, our defense is going to be all right, Ocho. I'm telling you, our defense is going to be better than y'all's.
The Bengals.

**Chad Johnson** (1:06)
Yo, let's wait till football season to get here, Joe, before we throw out total trash.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:09)
Okay. Boy, I'm going to be all, hey, hey, I got something for you, boy.

**Chad Johnson** (1:13)
Right now, my head is all basketball right now. All basketball.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:18)
Uh-oh.
This is going to get Ochocinco upset. An anonymous AFC executive is calling out overpriced wide receivers. I think the wide receiver prices have gotten so crazy that teams are warming up to the fact, I can get a super talented back with pass catching abilities paying $17 or $18 million a year, like doesn't sound so bad anymore. The top average NFL annual value position for JSCN, $42.1 million, more than double the top running back, which is Saquon at $20.6 million.
Ochocinco, remember Ochocinco used to be in running backs. We ain't going to pay the running back. Now they're saying these wide receiver prices are getting astronomical. No, but they're getting out of line.

**Chad Johnson** (2:02)
Man, Chad, please. Listen, if you don't have receivers, go out there and try to run the offense to see what happens. You can't nobody get the hell open. And they stack nine in the goddamn box. And then even if you do have one of those dynamic backs that can run the ball and catch the ball out the backfield and they can't run the ball because you don't got no receivers to open up the game, to take the top off the coverage. What are these people talking about, man? There's a reason they make that 40, 41, 42, 43 There's a reason Pooka going to break the bank and reset the market at the wireless.
What are we talking about? If you understand the game and how the game is played, how many of those backs he just described are there in the NFL?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:42)
What?

**Chad Johnson** (2:42)
Three? Maybe four? If that, McCaffrey, B'John Robinson, Jameer Gibbs, Saquon, Jameer Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:53)
Who else? It's 32 teams. I could only name five players that are really good, really good at doing both.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:00)
You're right.

**Chad Johnson** (3:00)
Let's be realistic. Come on, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:03)
He make it seem like everybody, listen, every receiver that comes up, ain't going to get JSC and Apuka's money.

**Chad Johnson** (3:09)
No.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:10)
It's just like every quarterback, so every quarterback now when he's eligible. So you think Baker Mayfield is going to reset the market, he's going to get Patrick Mahone's money? No, he's not.
No. He's not.

**Chad Johnson** (3:21)
Then you have to understand, he's $40 million contracts reserved for the elite of the elite.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:26)
All top-dollar contracts are, except the quarterbacks, but the quarterback is the only guy. He's the only guy that you pay on potential. Everybody else have to prove themselves, and they have to normally prove themselves over and over. A quarterback, we think he can be good. Let's go ahead and pay him, even after one season.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:47)
Because you can't do nothing without a damn quarterback.

**Chad Johnson** (3:51)
At all.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:52)
But they can't do nothing.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:53)
Look, I understand. So you want to, whoever this exec is, so you want the value of the franchises to go up. You used to could buy a franchise for 30, 40, 50 million dollars, 100 million, 200 million. So your franchise is going up, six billion, seven billion, eight billion, 10 billion, 12 billion.
