Ravens signed Zay Flowers to a four-year extension, $140 million, deal worth $108 million, guaranteed. $35 million per year, ties Flowers with Justin Jefferson among the fourth-highest-paid wide receivers, as far as contract value. Here are the number one, JSN, 42.15. Chase, 40.25. Drake London, 35.25. Zay Flowers, Justin Jefferson at 35, CD Lab at 34 But what he got was $30 million more than anybody got guaranteed, Ocho. He got 108 million. Joe. Yes.
Jerry gonna really, really hate that he didn't sign Pick.
Cause he going to pay him. A receiver's now getting triple figures, triple figures. Yeah. In guaranteed money.

**Chad Johnson** (0:52)

**Chad Johnson** (1:13)
I'm gonna tell you. Listen, I'm wanting to get paid too, boy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:16)
I just don't see how. So what you gonna do with CD?
He gonna get his money too, huh? What you gonna do with that? Man, Jerry Pockett's long. Why y'all act like that man Pockett? I know he's Pockett's long, but let me ask you a question. What are you gonna do about Quintin Williams? Oh.

**Joe Johnson** (1:34)
Hey, guess what, fellas?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:35)
Did you see what the old boy just got?
Jalen Carter? From the Eagles.

**Joe Johnson** (1:40)
Eagles?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:41)
Yeah.
Yeah. Jeffrey Simmers? Yeah, he got a bag now. He got a bag. He got a bag? Chris Jones? Yeah. And I think what's gonna make it like 22 million, and you got a guy make it almost 50 million a year.

**Chad Johnson** (1:56)
Yeah, Joe, he's over there, buddy, Joe.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:56)
Hey, we gonna cross that bridge when we get to it, okay?

**Chad Johnson** (2:00)
Hey, listen, I'm with you when you're right, man. Yeah.
I know, but these owners telling players, you know what? We bet, we bet against you, so we want you to bet on yourself. Let me see you do it again. It's gonna hurt.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:17)
Joe. What's up? In the words of Joe Crack, yesterday's price, not today's price.

**Joe Johnson** (2:23)
Hello. Hello.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:26)
Hello. Puka Nacua, high new agents, amid ramp contract rumors ahead of 2026 NFL season. Are the Rams in trouble if Puka extension isn't reached? Ochocinco, who's this rep? Yo. Go ahead. Go ahead, Ochocinco.

**Chad Johnson** (2:41)
I saw it. It's something sports, some company, I saw early.
Yeah, I saw it early today, but no, they're not in trouble. He's in practice. He's working. He's doing everything necessary. He's doing everything he's supposed to be doing to get ready for this season, to have another stellar season, you know, and he's going to reset the market. I'm not sure what JSN got. I don't know the numbers. They're not in front of me. Chris Olave, he didn't get above, you know, Jamar Chase, or I'm sure he might be right under Justin Jefferson.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:15)
I think that's the same group that what you call them had, Zay Flowers.

**Chad Johnson** (3:18)
Who?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:20)
They have George Davis, Matt Abuike, Deion Dawkins.

**Chad Johnson** (3:28)
Hey, hey, Puka finna set the market.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:31)
Oh, yeah, I already know it.

**Chad Johnson** (3:32)
Hey, that number finna be stupid. I don't know what it's going to look like. I don't really know it though.
He gonna be looking at, What, 44, 45?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:45)
44, 45 Damn.

**Chad Johnson** (3:47)
Yeah, yeah. That's gonna be, he deserve every penny too, Joe.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:53)
Yeah, he's phenomenal.

**Chad Johnson** (3:54)
Puka deserve every penny.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:55)
Tough contest to catch his run after the catch, keeps everything. He just got to keep his nose clean for the next six months.
Had he stayed out of trouble, it probably would have been done. They just want to make sure all the eyes are dotted, because the last thing I want is to give somebody a hundred plus million dollars, and then I'm gonna have him suspended.

**Chad Johnson** (4:19)
Right.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:20)
And we see that still, hey, you know how the NFL operate, Ochocinco.

**Chad Johnson** (4:26)
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:27)
Absolutely. But yeah, I think Puka, I never thought I'd see, hell, I didn't think I'd see a $30 million receiver, let alone a 40 Eventually, we're going to see a $50 million receiver. At some point. It's coming. Yeah. It's coming. That Prescott, that Prescott does what he said, you know, when they talk about it, let's talk about it. That going to get $70 million. Ooh.
