I mean you're keeping it so New Year's Eve, huh. 15 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: It is New Year's like the Chinese calendar or whatever 16 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: that is. It's the NFL. New Year's starts tomorrow, you 17 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: know that. Mickey Spagnola. And this is I this is 18 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: sort of like amateur hour. This this uh, legal tampering period. 19 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: It's amateur hour and the real stuff is tomorrow. You know. 20 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: That's why I look at I look at it like 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: the real New Year's Eve when you're when you're a drinker, 22 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: it's amateur on New Year's Eve. You don't go out. 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: You don't drink on New Year's Eve if you're a 24 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: real drinker. Yeah, Why there's anything going on out there? Bill? 25 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: A few things going on? What's caught your eyes so far? Um? 26 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: How much money other teams are about to spend starting 27 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Wednesday's right? But again, I mean we do this every year, right, 28 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: Why it's amateur hour? Why aren't the cowboys doing more? 29 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: Who says they're not looking at getting things done? You 30 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: know we're not. You know, we don't know what they're 31 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: trying to do right now, but we do know they 32 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: have a cap on how much money they want to spend. 33 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: They always do that. But because say they're not going 34 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: to do anything. Um, I wouldn't go that far. No, 35 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm amazed, Well, not really amazed. 36 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm the way the safeties fell. I didn't think the 37 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: safeties would fall this way, as far as the order 38 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: than which they went in. So the fact that the 39 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: one safety that I guess I want is still available 40 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: and when the music stops, I don't know if he's 41 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: going to have a chair. And so I'm okay with that, 42 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm hopeful and if you know, if 43 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: that's the case, then that this it gives them a 44 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: chance now whether they go that direction or not. As 45 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: a whole other thing, I know, talk to some folks that, 46 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: you know, the money was always going to be a 47 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: consideration there. So if the money is the right thing 48 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: for them, then maybe they can go that route and 49 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: add a player for what they thought they were going 50 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: to be able to pay him. So I see that 51 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: as a real positive right now. That's the thing I'm 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: really really focusing on because if you can get that done, 53 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: then now it'll allow you to do the other things 54 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: you want to try and do with the defensive end. 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: But it also allows you to focus on the draft 56 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: as well. Seven by my count safeties have been signed. 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: Ye are agreed to excuse me, contracts, none of which 58 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: named Earl Thomas. Why do you think that is? That's 59 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: what was going to be my next question. I think 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: age and injury probably has something to do with that 61 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and the fact that his agent is his agent is 62 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: the same one they just got the deal done in Washington. 63 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: I think that he probably saw what was going on, 64 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, with the combine. We get there and everybody 65 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: kind of has an idea of what the market might be. 66 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: He went with landing Collins first as a push, and 67 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: now is now they're having to play catch up with 68 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas. So I think that he probably saw where 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: this thing was going to go with the other teams. 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I think the team you still have to worry about 71 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: is Atlanta, and Atlanta cleared some space again, I'm talking 72 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: about if the Cowboys are interested in the sky. I 73 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: think you have to worry about Atlanta. Atlanta has their 74 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: former You know, Dan Quinn was with him at Seattle. 75 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: He knows the player. They cleared some space, so we'll see. 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: That might be the one team you have to dodge left. 77 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Other than that, you might have a clear run at 78 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: this thing. Man, twenty four hours ago, it seemed like 79 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: a different vibe because when he saw what Collins got 80 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: and then he saw what Tyrn Matthew is going to 81 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: get from Kansas City, It's like, yeah, world, Thomas is 82 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: going to get what he wants. He's gonna get fifteen million. Yeah, 83 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: and now those guys are fourteen million in a year. Yeah. Yeah, 84 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: he's not getting fourteen million a year. So I understand 85 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: about the aging part. Yeah, but none of these other 86 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: teams didn't sound like they made a run at him. 87 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Now they're probably again they scared. They're probably scared of 88 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,119 Speaker 1: injury history, and they're probably scared of age. So should 89 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys be scared? Nah, not at all, Not at all. 90 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: Shouldn't be scared him? Who at all? Because because the 91 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: guy is a veteran player. I think if you get 92 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: him at the price you were able you wanted to 93 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: get him, that he could come in. He could help 94 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: your team defensively, create turnovers. I think he could be 95 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: a leader in the locker room. I think he could 96 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: provide a lot of things. If I'm getting in for 97 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: the money I want and not fifteen million dollars a year, 98 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: sign me up. And if it's a two year deal, 99 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: sign me up. I have no problem with that for 100 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: a team. If you're telling me, if you're telling me, 101 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to have to do this deal for five 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: six years, Yeah, he's not a fifteen million dollars year 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: a player? Is he an eight million dollars year a player? 104 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: Two years, two years, twenty million dollars guaranteed? Is that? 105 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: Is that what he is? Mickey? Are you? Are you 106 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: not agreeing to that? I would when you mentioned eight million, 107 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: I think I would. Okay, look at that? Okay, yeah, 108 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: because what would you offer Cole Beasley to come back? 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: How many million per year would you pay him to 110 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: come back at thirty years old? So to your point, 111 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: but he hasn't had two broken legs in three years. 112 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: He's been hurt though too, Yeah, but he hadn't had 113 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: two broken leg the same legs. Are you broken? Yeah, 114 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm just to me, to me the leg When you're 115 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: talking about breaks, that's a different story. That's that's that 116 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: happens in football. Breaks happened. Yeah, if you told me 117 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: he had blown out his achilles. They gave money to 118 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: bury Church after he blew out his achilles. You know what, 119 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: what are we scared of here? Let me just throw 120 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: this out there. We're not buried. They didn't give Barry 121 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: it's ten million a year. Yeah, but they but they 122 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying though they paid for a guy 123 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: that they paid Shawn Lee. Shaun Leeds hurt more than 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: anybody in the National Football League. Let's not let's not 125 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: lack like that that we don't have hurt players on 126 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: this team. He's I'm just surprised we haven't heard anything 127 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: about him elsewhere, Like San Francisco they wanted they they're out, 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: they're out. Let me just throw this out there, and 129 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: this I could be way off. I'm just throwing it 130 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: out there. Do you think teams might just assume he 131 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: wants to come here and we're not gonna let him 132 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: drive up the price against us to try to get 133 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: raised Dallas's offer Das Dallas is not gonna play in 134 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: a bidning war. But yeah, I know that they have 135 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: a number in mind. If they can get their number, 136 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: they need to go with Tayshaun Gibson signing with Houston's 137 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: out big play. Yeah, they're done, They're done San Francisco. 138 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: Atlanta is a team if you're if you're into the 139 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas market, Atlanta is a team you're gonna have 140 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: to deal with potentially. I don't know. They're off the 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: top of my head. Do they need a safety bad Yeah, 142 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: well they have they have They have a situation where 143 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: again their coaching staff is big. You know, they see 144 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to add a veteran player. Right. Second, Gibson 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: supposedly has agreed to three years twenty two million with 146 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the Texans. I don't know the numbers on Gibson. I 147 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: just saw that three years twenty two so that's just 148 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: over seven millions, so totally can I get that? Probably not? 149 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: And who who's going to give him more? Adrian as Atlanta. 150 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Adrian Amos with Green Bay signed four years thirty seven. 151 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: That was a big deal right there for him because 152 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: he's a he's a down safety as well as Adrian Amos. Yeah, 153 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: nine million, are you? And thank you? Look at the 154 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: first two years of his deal though, two years twenty one. Yeah, 155 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: with his three interceptions. Landon Collins is at six years 156 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: eighty four million, fourteen million a year, Tyron Matthew three 157 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: years forty two million, fourteen million a year. Eric Berry 158 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: is at thirteen million Yearney. It's just bet on himself 159 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: and went well too. Although I just saw where Collins 160 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: the first three years two million, that's real. So see 161 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: what's happening now with these these numbers is that those 162 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: are agent inflated numbers, and no one's talking about what 163 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: the guarantees are normally. Sure, you look at the life 164 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: of the contract, because there's no landing Collins is gonna 165 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: make eighty four million in sixty Probably not, and he'll 166 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 1: get cut after two. Let's focus on our team here. No, 167 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though, you gotta be better. That's that's 168 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: These guys that are all getting signed are going to 169 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: be gone in two years, three years. They're gonna be 170 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: the cap casualties in twenty twenty one. Get ready for that. 171 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: That's that's generally what happens, right. So do you want 172 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: to play that game? Oh? I want to play. I 173 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: want to play the game of adding a safety. I'm 174 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: not playing the game of adding players for sixteen and 175 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars unless their names or Lawrence and people 176 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: like that. I'm with Brian on this, Mick. I mean, 177 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: if you're trying to take that next step this season 178 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: and you can get a deal with him that's a 179 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: couple of years, and go for it and get a 180 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: guy that can help you back there, help your help 181 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: your depth, help your takeaways, leadership. Now, what I will 182 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: say is if you just look at the defense, the 183 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: whole defense. To me, the biggest need right now defensive 184 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: defensive line. But why aren't we talking because it's a 185 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: shout talking about safe because you named all those safety 186 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: it's a deep class. If you listen to the draft show, Mickey, 187 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: I can give you one hundred names about defensive tackles 188 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: and defensive ends. I'm going to focus on the defensive 189 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: line in the draft, is what I'm gonna do. So 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: that guy's gonna come in and and and be your 191 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: starter at right defensive end. Who the draft guy, Well, 192 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: you're you're well, but this market, you're right, you start 193 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: right defensive end? Is Crawford? Am I wrong about that? 194 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: But you didn't want to improve that? Well, I think 195 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: it was gonna be Randy Gregory, Right, that's an issue. 196 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know tanks status with the tag and 197 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: the surgery and all that. When he's going to be 198 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: healthy back, that's that's an issue for me. But what 199 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying is the free agent market at that position, 200 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: it's not it's not a deep spot. So yeah, you 201 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: might have to look at the d Somebody just signed 202 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson for like three years, thirty nine million, Cleveland did. Yeah, 203 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: Zeke Jans is out there if you want to have 204 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: a run at him, very similar to mean you talk 205 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: about injury history and problems with him, talk about injury 206 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: history justin Houston. Yeah, but you just committed twenty million 207 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: dollars to trying to sign Lawrence Exactly. I'm drafting, drafted. 208 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm drafted a defensive tack or a defensive ent' I'm 209 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: double dipping both, and I'm try I'll try out take 210 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: a run at Earl Earl Thomas here if it's my number. 211 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: And then and because you don't have a first round 212 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: draft pick, you're getting those guys second, third round, fourth 213 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: run whatever it might be. Might they work into a rotation. 214 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm might get the polite kid from Florida that's a 215 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: top fifteen talent, you know, but off the field stuff, 216 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, questions about him might drive him to fIF 217 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: fifty eight, if that's you want to If that's what 218 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: you want to do, if you want to get a 219 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: defensive end, and maybe you get Gregory that before with 220 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, Oh sure, and maybe you get him back 221 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: for week one, but you certainly can't count on that, 222 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't rule it out totally might get him 223 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: back week one, but he's going to be there week eight. 224 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: How about Tasher playing better? That would help? Yeah? Would 225 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: you want to bet on that? You know what, Mickey? 226 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I have no really no choice right now. 227 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: And then you got Dorin's armstrong as well. It's a 228 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: defensive end. Yeah, candidate, I have a better chance at 229 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: helping my team in the draft at that defensive line 230 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: spot than I do potentially as safety opinion. You know 231 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: there's a couple of names, all right, Brian, you mentioned 232 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: something relating if they were able to secure an earl Thomas. Sure, 233 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: how that would affect the DeMarcus Lawrence situation? What I 234 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: think that you alluded to? That? Not really? Okay? Now 235 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: I know how would it affect who plays and who's 236 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: a backup? Put Jeff Heath? You play, you play. You 237 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: can interchange the two guys as far as would And 238 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm playing Woods. I'm sorry, he I'm making you. I'm 239 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: putting you back on special teams where you you're do 240 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: me the most good. So you're playing woods. I'm playing 241 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: playing Woods. I'm interchanging. If I have to play one down, 242 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: I play one down. If it's to play one back. 243 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: I play one back. I think there are interchangeable pieces there, 244 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: all right, if you let's explore this Earl Thomas and 245 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: how it works from a salary a payroll standpoint on 246 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: the defense. And with Byron Jones coming open next year, 247 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: you got to sign him if you're going to keep 248 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: him long term. So would signing an Earl Thomas affect 249 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: what you do with Byron Jones going forward? Don't think so. 250 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: I think they have the money to sign all these guys. 251 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: I do. That's what I've been told, Nikki. If they 252 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: may told you different. I think what Bill was referring 253 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: to is next year. Yeah, I was talking about next year. 254 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking next year two. I'm talking about next year 255 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: because there's a ramification because they're not going to have 256 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: as much money available next year as they have available 257 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: at twenty four million this year. Well, then that's why 258 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: they need to sign the quarterback now. And you know 259 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: in the wide now counts next year you can't. It's 260 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: not just this year. I understand that projection. I understand 261 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: that that receiver market just got interesting, by the way, ironically, 262 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: with the new guy that Oakland has and what they 263 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: just paid him. So how does that affect you know 264 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: what you gotta pay Amari Cooper coming up? Well, Cooper's 265 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna get seventeen million a year. You try to give 266 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: sixteen to a bad player? What are you going to 267 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: give him? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you know 268 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: where you know where you're at, right, I'm not I 269 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: mean trying to give sixteen million to Sammy Watkins. Come on, Actually, 270 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: it's probably going to get closer twenty million a year. Yeah, 271 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: it's all about it. It's all going up. You're right, 272 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: because he can get fourteen this year, so he's not 273 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: going to settle for anything less than that, right, point yep. 274 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: And and the and the the franchise tag next year, 275 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: who would go up to about sixteen or seventeen? So 276 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: he I'm in what all kinds of going numbers are 277 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: out there? So take twenty million, you know, I mean, 278 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: I know, I understand how things are structured, and you 279 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: can get it. Sure, you give a spot, you give 280 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: m a huge signing bonus and keep his number low, right, 281 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: And that's that's what you have to do. That's how 282 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They're gonna do that. Get ready, all 283 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: those guys, all those guys are gonna get dak Zeke, 284 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence. They're all gonna get huge signing bonuses and 285 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: then the numbers. The one thing this owner has is 286 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: deep pockets when it comes to signing bonuses. I know 287 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: it counts for stuff and things like that, but he can. 288 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: He can. He's got other businesses where some of these 289 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: guys don't. He's gonna go from being worth five billion 290 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: to four billion. No, there's a reason why he's a 291 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,119 Speaker 1: billionaire because he can create money. And now inside linebackers 292 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: are getting seventeen million a year. C. J. Mosley just 293 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: got five years eighty five million, seventeen million a years 294 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: the average. So you can worry about Jay Smith. Well, 295 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying is a couple of years from 296 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: down to Jay Smith has entered that market. He's what 297 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: he's restricted next year. Ye you know you take down 298 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: the road you talk about you know Byron Jones. Cornerback 299 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: is a sneaky need for this team. If you look 300 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty and what they've got. You know, with 301 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, I think also too with Lewis Woozier, I 302 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: don't think they're up. But Anthony Brown is up. Byron's up. 303 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: Byron's up. Your Cavon in the secondary cavn. Frasier's up. Okay, 304 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: that's not gonna bother me. Up, He's up. Okay, it's 305 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: not bothering me much. But you got I mean, that's 306 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's kind of sneaky knee down the road 307 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: if you look at it. And Detroit, Detroit just agreed 308 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: with a nickel back Justin Coleman. Four years, thirty six 309 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: million nickel back must be a pretty patriot connection. Yeah, yeah, 310 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: Mickey's not down with all this money flying around. This 311 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: is like paying a second baseman who hits two twenty 312 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: five ten million a year. It's free agency. It's becoming baseball. 313 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is. I don't think anybody is is. 314 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: Maybe the fans are, you know, I applaud what they're doing. 315 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: I would rather draft and sign my own than be 316 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: bad like we were back in the day and sign 317 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: guys that suck. You know, I would, I would, I would. 318 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: I would feel much better about signing Zach Martin's and 319 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: Travis Fredericks and DeMarcus Lawrences and those kind of guys 320 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: then I would the crap that we did back in 321 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: the early two thousand. Well, and typically the teams that 322 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: are doing this, they're doing it because they're trying to 323 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: fill a need they couldn't fill through the draft. That's 324 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: why you're overpaying. And you've got salary cap space because 325 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: you're not resigning your own. So there's a reason for it. 326 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: But and I do think if there's a way there 327 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: is a team that can improve largely from within. Wrote 328 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: about this today on our mail bag, it's this team. 329 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: Because you've got like a dozen or so starters from 330 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: last season, they're twenty five years approve absolutely, I mean, 331 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: and that a lot of that's coaching. You know, you 332 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: got to you gotta help them get to the next step. 333 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: But it's a young it's not like it's a veteran 334 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: team that's kind of topped out what they can be, 335 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: So that that's got to be part of the hope. 336 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: Mickey's the anti fan. He wants to just draft and sign, 337 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: which I don't disagree with. Fan wants to fan wants 338 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: to sign everybody. Fan wants to pay Nickel cornerback thirty 339 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: five million dollars. I kind of see the fans view 340 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: guys because they say, all right, this team got, they're 341 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: not gonna get any better. They got to the second 342 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: round with the guys they have. Yeah, this isn't new. 343 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: These guys aren't new. DeMarcus Lawrence hell of a player, 344 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: he's not new. What else can we do? LA signed 345 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: somebody that the other team didn't want. I get Mickey's 346 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: gonna hate me for saying this, but it might come 347 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: down on the coach. If you feel like your roster 348 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: is really good, this might come down on the coach. Well, 349 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: and maybe that's the decision that they made. Yeah, that's 350 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: you know. Okay, let's see if the coach can pull 351 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: this thing together. Sign a defensive end for eighty million 352 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: dollars and then two years later, Oh, I gotta trade 353 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: him because I can't deal with that on my cap. 354 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon, Yeah, everybody wanted Olivier. Now it's because you 355 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: don't have a defensive end. Yeah, we can trade them 356 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: because we can't take that cap charge. They hate Crawford too. Denver. 357 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: Denver signs Keenum to two years thirty six million, two 358 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: years thirty six million, and then we got to trade him. Well, 359 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: how about how about Pittsburgh taking a twenty one million 360 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: dollar hit on Antonio Brown. Yeah, that's unbelievable. That's just 361 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: not the way they do things usually. Crazy. They got caught. 362 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: That's just how bad of a situation it was in Pittsburgh. 363 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: And you're really fortunate in this locker room here at 364 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: the start you don't have that problem that you have 365 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: guys that are just gonna standing out. Maybe this defensive 366 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: end will be a problem if it doesn't get done 367 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: the right way. You know, maybe he's gonna say, you 368 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: know what, I gave you everything I had there for 369 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: all these years. You know, where's the where's the you 370 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: know again, he's looking at a situation where, you know, 371 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: and maybe we need to research this a little bit more. 372 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: Maybe the Cowboys were thinking about him as a defensive 373 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: end when these these other high priced guys are getting 374 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: paid like outside linebackers. Look at Khalil Mack, look at Miller, 375 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: Look at what position they play play linebackers. They just 376 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: restructured his contract too, by the way, Well, hey, they 377 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: flip that mechanism they do with all these contracts. Give 378 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: me ten million, here, give me eleven million. Here, one 379 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: of those things and I put those in this. I 380 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: put to Marcus Lawrence a defensive end, a rush defensive 381 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: end in the same boat as a rush outside linebacker. 382 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Would you great four defense? But myself I do. Okay, 383 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: maybe the put him under those are edge rushes. Yeah, 384 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys don't. Maybe the Cowboys don't feel like 385 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: that that right, that he's the same level as Khalil 386 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: Mac because they play a different position, and I don't 387 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: I would not pay him. What what Khalil Mack's getting? WHOA? 388 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: You just said that? You think I know. I didn't 389 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: say they're the same player. They're the same category a player. Okay, 390 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm not saying. I'm not saying to Marcus Lawrence is 391 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. I wouldn't pay Khalil Mac that kind of 392 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: money myself. That's kind of the day and age we 393 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: live in, though, boys, Right, you know it's not agent collusion. Yeah, 394 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: let's not. This is this is what you know. You 395 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: just pray to God that you take your cap and 396 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: do it the right way, you know. But we talked 397 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: about it last week. Now, Daniel Hunter, what do you 398 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: get He's seventy two million over four years or was 399 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: it five five year? Seventy two million? I mean, that's 400 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: a club friendly contract. Right there. And I'm sure the 401 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: Players Association went nuts when he signed that, But there's 402 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: a lot of them probably are Smith. Yeah, that's right, 403 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of them. Now. Those edge rushers are 404 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: signing for fourteen million a year. Who probably the only 405 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: reason they're getting it is because it's this um the 406 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: time that they're we're in right now where there happened 407 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: to be in an edge rusher class that there's not 408 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: a lot of candidates there. And that's where DeMarcus Lawrence 409 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: is right now, where he's the top guy in this 410 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: edge rusher class. And that's that's the quandary that the 411 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: cowboys in de Marcus Lawrence are in right now because Okay, 412 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: he's the top guy, unquestionably, right and so how much 413 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: do you pay him? And that's what his agents think 414 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: right now. Because he's not here, he will not be 415 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: the first one to be signed of the five franchise rushers. 416 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you that couple those cats might get traded, 417 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, but they still got to get signed, 418 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: right Well, that's something. Yeah, they can trade him though, 419 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: they can trade him, negotiate with an eighteen and he 420 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: could have signed the tender. Yeah, but again, I mean 421 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: that's how the Mac trade happened, you know. But if 422 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: you're the cowboys, right, can you afford to let this 423 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: dragon in MIDI? Well, does his guy want to sign? 424 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: And what would you would you give up to? Just say? Okay, fine? 425 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: Twenty three million a year? Because that guy is not 426 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: going to be the first one to sign his edge rusher. 427 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that you don't think he wants his money. 428 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: You don't think he wants to get this done unless 429 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: he unless he tells the guy that guy doesn't want 430 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: to get beat on a contract. I get that. But 431 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: what Trey Flowers got seventeen million a year, five years 432 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: eighty five, so out of this class, I believe that's 433 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: the the highest price of the edge rushers right there. 434 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: Seventeen million, So that's the low we've already tendered this 435 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: guy twenty better. That's where you're better start. It starts 436 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: right at five years, one hundred million. Yeah, now he 437 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: might again the guaranteed money, that's a whole other thing 438 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: right there. You know, depends on like I said, I 439 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: think there, I think there's some validity to what I 440 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: was talking about. I mean, you he what position does 441 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: he play. Is he a true? Him? And Hunter to 442 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: me are similar guys right the way they play, you know, 443 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: the way they play. Both play the run, both rush 444 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: the pass, or both get sacks. You know, that's what 445 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: you know. They have very similar numbers in their career. 446 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to guarantee three quarters of the total 447 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: to get him to say, Okay, I won't take as much, 448 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: but if you give me three quarters of it, that's 449 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: seventy five million on one hundred, one hundred million contract. Yeah, 450 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: all right, we will take your phone calls here.

Yeah, absolutely. 553 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: So Yeah, we need to have him on maybe when 554 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: we get to a kind of a slower period. Yeah. 555 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of camps coming up too. Yeah, 556 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: all right, very good, we will do that. Let's go 557 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: to Becky and Magnolia, Texas first up here on talking Cowboys. 558 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: Hello Becky, Hello, mister Jones. Hello y'all. Guys. Hello, I've 559 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: been listed into YA for years. Thank you. Appreciate all 560 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: the hard work you do. Appreciate that. As far as 561 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence goes, I love him. He's a great player, 562 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: but he also disappointed with some suspensions. He has to 563 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: remember that. And I listened to Brian the other day. 564 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: You talk about trades. Okay, he's if he wants to 565 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: hold this tape for ransom, which is apparently what they're doing, 566 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: why not trading get something for him. I know it 567 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: won't be an immediate help for whoever we bring in, 568 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: but at least we won't be hamstringing ourselves with that 569 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: salary cap. Hell, we were in for so long. Becky, 570 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: can ask you a question, Yes, sir, Rob, that's Brian. 571 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: That's okay, No, no, no problem, no problem. Do you 572 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: feel like, though, that Lawrence deserves the contract that he's 573 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: seeking though? From all I mean, you know you mentioned 574 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: about the suspensions and stuff like that, but as a fan, 575 00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: do you feel like he deserves that? The front off 576 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: should address that if he's reasonable? Yes, okay, right, so 577 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: twenty millions a lot of money? Sure, their idea of 578 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: not much is beyond my scope of thinking. Sure, but 579 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: he's it's a game, right, and they're being played to 580 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: play a game. Sure, and it's entertainment. I understand that 581 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: that's the goring, right, But I mean, and I understand 582 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: he played hurt the last two years, and he played 583 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: hard and he played well, and I want to reward 584 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: people for doing things like that. He's become such a 585 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: fine young leader and I'm proud of him for that, 586 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: But you can't hold up the whole team. It is 587 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: a team sport. Well, thank you. Yeah, no, absolutely, that's 588 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: a good view of it, because most people are saying, Okay, 589 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: pay him, let's get it done. Just keep thinking about 590 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: Anthony Spencer back in the day. Two years in a row. Yeah, 591 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: what did that turn out to be? Was that over 592 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars for two years and he only 593 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: played one of the years? Well got them at right 594 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: about that? Eleven million kind of a thing the second 595 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: franch in both years. Yeah. Yeah, he never got to 596 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: a long term deal. Never did. You never did. And 597 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: he was another guy who those last couple of years, 598 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: he if you went back and looked at the coaches 599 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: filming on that, he played so hard to Anthony Spencer did, Yeah, 600 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, just like de Marcus Lawrence has the last 601 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: couple of years, Cowboys have to do it's best for 602 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: them business wise. Um, but this does concern me. It 603 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: just it just does, because I'm picturing the death situation 604 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen where Dez didn't need surgery that offseason, 605 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: but it dragged into the summer, it affected his conditioning 606 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: in his training camp and he got hurt. And that 607 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: was a team that was trying to go all in 608 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and win the Super Bowl that year. And so it's 609 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: a it's a fine line. They're having a walk with 610 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: the situation because they need him. There's no question they 611 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: need him. And the caller Becky mentioned it was Becky, Yeah, yeah, 612 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: twenty million. That is the going rate. I mean that's 613 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: what you're gonna gonna pay him guaranteed for one season 614 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: if you don't get a deal done. Twenty million. So 615 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: you feel better about him than you do a lot 616 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: of other people, though, don't you in regards to paying 617 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: him twenty million dollars? Yeah? Yeah, And you feel like 618 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: if you paid him long term, he might be a 619 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: guy that actually earns the contract. You know, the past 620 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: supposed to being a cap casually in twenty twenty one, 621 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: there are things out of your control like injuries and stuff. Absolutely, absolutely, 622 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: and he did. He had one suspension, right, Jess, Yeah, 623 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: fifteen mentioned of suspensions and it was one four game 624 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: suspension one twenty sixteen. And if you ask people around 625 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: the team, after that, he dedicated himself to being a 626 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: better leader on the team, you know that he took 627 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: the ownership of that, right. Talking about locker room chemistry, 628 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: what does it do to a locker room when you 629 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: in a case like this, like a DeMarcus Lawrence who's 630 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: got respect from members of the locker room, and you 631 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: don't take care of him and you sign somebody else 632 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: instead from outside? What do you think that does to 633 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: teammates in the locker room when that happens? Or is 634 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: that a concern? You're asking us to play doctor Phil 635 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: And it's only a concern if it involves you, I think. 636 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 1: But I think in the back of guy's minds, they're 637 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: sitting there going, so what about me? When that comes up? 638 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: Am I doing all this? And then I got to 639 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: go somewhere else? Yeah? I think that first and foremost, 640 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: I think these guys understand it's a business they really 641 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, Becky was talking about its entertainment and on 642 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: I just much you're saying, I was thinking about, Yeah, 643 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: I wonder about these actors that get twenty five million, 644 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: thirty million a movie, you know, far less stressful, but 645 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: they get that they're in a part of entertainment. But 646 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: to me, I think the locker room, it's it depends 647 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: a lot on the type of players you have, but 648 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: I think I just think overall coaches, players, they realize that, 649 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow is not guaranteed, especially in this in 650 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: this day and age, with the way that the salary 651 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: cap and stuff like that is. You know, it's just 652 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: one bad year and then boom, you're on the street. 653 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: So I applaud them for making as much money as 654 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: they can. But I also feel like though that they 655 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: also know they have jobs to do. That like Mickey said, 656 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, it affects you know, that's the way it goes. 657 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: But you know, that's a tough thing to have to 658 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: roll with. I don't think you'll see and they step 659 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: up and say, you know, now, you know, you could say, well, 660 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: if they if they you know, if they if they 661 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: cut me or cut somebody else, like cut Dez Bryant. 662 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: You know, then you're saying, wow, well, if they're gonna 663 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: cut Dez Bryant, what are they gonna do to me? 664 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, so that maybe can elevate your awareness a 665 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, well, I mean, and there are guys 666 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: on this team they've made clear they want to keep, 667 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, so there is that. I mean, we know 668 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: that dak Amari kind of go down the list, so 669 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: they want to bring that security to a lot of 670 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: these top guys. Just as Lawrence one just has got 671 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: me not confused. But I thought this deal would be 672 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: done by now really did cast you something? Yeah, So 673 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: what we did on the draft show just as an exercise, 674 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: not saying that we were we were just talking about it. 675 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: If it came to that by the time of the draft, 676 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: would you be willing to move on from him that way? 677 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: If you can affect secure a deal, if you can 678 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: secure it, if you can secure a deal for him, 679 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: would you trade not a deal of an extension, not 680 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: an extension. It's you feel like this thing is gonna 681 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: go along again, This is an exercise we're talking about. 682 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: We're not We're just talking here. We're not trying to 683 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: immediately say, oh, talking cowboys, just trying to get rid 684 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: of Yeah, for the aggregators out there, but I mean, 685 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, just for just for that, you know, you 686 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: you seemed the most most well worried about that. Yeah, 687 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: because I want to keep him, I really do, because 688 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: I think their pass rush starts and ends with him. 689 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean, especially with what's going on with Gregory, but 690 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: that's just a defensive line play in general. Yeah, just 691 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: what he does for those guys. M No. I mean, 692 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: I want to try to get something done, but I'm 693 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: also trying to project this labor surgery, how many months 694 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: it's going to take him to get ready to play football, 695 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 1: and I want him a training camp. So I'm holding 696 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: out hope that they can get something done in the 697 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: next couple But said, you're surprised they haven't got something done. 698 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: I thought that it might get done by the March 699 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: fifth franchise tack deadline, and it didn't get done. And 700 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, they made an offer that combine week, and 701 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: they talked a couple of times and it just didn't 702 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: get there. For whatever reason, Nick, I told you the 703 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: reason the agent didn't want to do the deal. We 704 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: want to even want to be first in. He's not 705 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna be. I hadn't thought about that, honestly, I really hadn't, 706 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: because I because Marcus wants to get paid well, Soddes Bryant. 707 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: But when did that deal get done the same time, 708 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: the same time Damarius Thomas's deal got done, same exact deal. 709 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: They got done within twenty four hours of each other. 710 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: Bill you trade, if you, if you if you feel 711 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: like you can't get there, Oh, I got it. I 712 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: gotta figure out how am I replacing a replacing the production. 713 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: That's my issue, and that's the biggest issue I have. 714 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem if if there you you 715 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: see an impass here. As long as you're not, your 716 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: team is just as good, if not hopefully better. Your 717 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: team's probably not gonna be better. Get rid of him. 718 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: But if you say you can add two picks, so 719 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: you can add a first and a second, that first 720 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: better being the top ten, it's probably not gonna be. 721 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: Probably not going to be. Because think about this, they 722 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: were average when he came to sacks this year with him, 723 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: with him, with him, they were average, right and the 724 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: and the guy ranked second with six Gregory is suspended 725 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: indefinitely right now, or the highest value, So you basically 726 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: almost have taken if he's not there, and assuming Gregory, 727 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's almost half of your sacks 728 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: with those two guys. The deal, you're, the best deal 729 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: you're going to cut on something like that is going 730 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,479 Speaker 1: to be after the draft, next year's picks because those picks, 731 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: those draft picks, as you get closer to the draft, 732 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: those those draft picks are more valuable. Yep. And then 733 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: that would go against everything. That's why Khalil Mack they 734 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: got as much as they did. One of the reasons 735 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,479 Speaker 1: they got as much as they did for Khalil Mack 736 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 1: was because the timing of when that trade took place. 737 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: They would not have got that if it was a 738 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: Draft day trade or you could take a third and 739 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: a fifth. Well, there you go, there's a third and 740 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: a fifth for Antonio Brown. Unbelievable. Well, that's just your 741 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: team wanting to move on, right Yeah, I understand that's 742 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: trade him to a team that probably can't hurt you. 743 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: But you're kind of in that in that boat. If 744 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: if you reach a contract impass with DeMarcus Lawrence, the 745 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: team basically is wanting to move on and trying to 746 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: get as much as they can for them. You know, 747 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: yeah at that point, how did how did the Patriots 748 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: get away with it every year? Is because of Tom 749 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: Brady and the head coach. That's the feedback I get 750 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: on Twitter when I'm just I'm I'm just asking because 751 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: I did it with Chandler Jones exactly. They move on, 752 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, and and I'm surprised that more teams don't 753 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: look at that and say, you know, we're not going 754 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: to pay this guy, but we're just not not just him, 755 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: but any any type of player that they have like that. 756 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: And it's a fascinating way to operate. But you know, 757 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: I guess idiot reaction. Oh they got bell and Jack 758 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 1: and Brady. We don't have BELLI, Jacko Brady. So yeah, 759 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: but there may be that may be one of the 760 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: reasons Bellichick and Brady are so successful is because they're 761 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: able to all right, instead of having Chandler Jones for 762 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: the last three years, they were able to sign I've 763 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: listed it last. There's no question ten guys and guys 764 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: yeah they have been signed over the last three years 765 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: who have contributed. Who are they weren't signing during the 766 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: legal tampering period. It was a week or two into agency. 767 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: So should you be turning your players into more players? 768 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: Should that be a should question? Well, I mean I'm 769 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: not I'm not advocating that. I'm just saying, should you 770 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: should you take? If you do, if you're drafting players 771 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys are instead of resigning them, trading them 772 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: into more commodities, is that is that a better way 773 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: to operate unless you have Unless you have a Breeze, 774 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: a Brady, a Rodgers or somebody like that. I mean 775 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: taking taking to Marcus Lawrence and turning him into three 776 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: players in the top, say, the top fifty nine? Does 777 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: that help your team more? I mean, I'm just I'm 778 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: just I'm throwing it out there. To Bill's point, I 779 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: don't know if it helps you initially right off the bat, right, 780 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, and and so, and to me that that 781 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: against it goes against this next step philosophy. They're trying 782 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl. Yeah, but the fan 783 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: will tell you by not signing anybody in free agency, 784 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 1: they're not they're not getting any better. But if I'm 785 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: with you, though, but what the Patriots do is they 786 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: take instead of spending that money on a Chandler Jones 787 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: they're spending it. They were signed a restricted free agent 788 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: Chris Hogan. Okay that year. They I can't remember the 789 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: other names that they've they've signed. You know, they traded 790 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 1: for Kyle van Noy. They picked up veteran guys who 791 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 1: they knew would fit their scheme and fit their locker 792 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: room and so forth. And that's why they study. They 793 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: study the draft, and every team does this or needs 794 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: to do this. You study the draft not for just 795 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: that draft, but for when those players might come available 796 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: four years from now or less than that. Yeah, and 797 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: I'll do I'll due respect of the Patriots, they draft well, 798 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: but they draft well in part because they get so 799 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: many picks. You know, they don't hit on all their picks. No, no, 800 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: if you if you look at their picks, they really don't. 801 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: They don't draft well. Imagine if you're the Cowboys and 802 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: you keep and you do draft well, and you keep 803 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: turning your players into kimanis just keep going on and 804 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: on and on. It's that secondary market on free agency 805 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: was where it is where they hit their jackpot. There 806 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, they're filled their deeds and it doesn't and 807 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: it actually doesn't take away from their immediate team Okay, yeah, 808 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: you know they're drafting. I mean they're they're getting those 809 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: players for now, you know, and what they can do. 810 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: They've just lost that. They have the two highest paid 811 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: offensive linemen in the last two free agency periods have 812 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: been in New England. It's amazing, both of them. That's why. 813 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: And and and the one guy certainly wasn't worth the money, 814 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: which when Browners sold our Solder and Trent Brown either 815 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: But and there they goes to, we got a great 816 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: offensive line Scronekiah and then they've got and it's that 817 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: quarterback getting rid of the football so quickly. And then 818 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, and it got Trent Brown four year, sixty 819 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: six million or whatever it was, Giant Giant Giants. It 820 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: was terrible. It's hard to use them as a model 821 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: because they're not here. And that is where those who Brady, 822 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: that's where maybe they're just better. Maybe they're just better 823 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: than everybody in the National Football League. The way they 824 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: think that the patients that they play with. You mean, 825 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: they're not interested in signing. I mean, yeah, would you 826 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,439 Speaker 1: talk about having a plan can't play, you can't pay. 827 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: What you can't start doing is paying good players like 828 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: they're generational players, and that's what they do. They have 829 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: good players, but they don't pay them. Is the Marcus 830 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: Lawrence a generation? Okay? And that's where I was going. 831 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: So for this team, probably so yes, because they've been 832 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: trying to find that guy since where got injured. The 833 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: ward had to play that that seat. So it's been 834 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: almost eight nine years without having that guy your quarterback. 835 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: What do you mean pay him? Well, I don't know 836 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: that you got to pay him like he's worth twenty 837 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: five million a year going right. I know it's the 838 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: going rate. I'm just saying, but did you earn it 839 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 1: about the Nick Foles contract? Ridiculous? I didn't see it. 840 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: How much? Eighty eight four years, eighty eight million with 841 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: a chance to get it up to one hundred and 842 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: two million? Yeah, going right? Super Bowl MVP jatty two 843 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,439 Speaker 1: to twenty five million a year. And Jacksonville went from 844 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: a AFC championship game to you know, having a bad 845 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,439 Speaker 1: having a bad year, and now you got a coach 846 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of you know, in trouble there. So I 847 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: and for a guy that has not played and been 848 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: productive for an entire season, this has got Matt. This 849 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: got some Matt Castle written on it. This guy's what 850 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: a super Bow, But you can't say that. I shouldn't 851 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: say that. But he has been great in that system 852 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: with that coach. Yeah, and so yeah he's gonna go outside. 853 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: But everything outside the system, he hasn't been great. Right, 854 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 1: he got lucky, he tried to quit, played good against 855 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I think he got lucky, Mickey, But he 856 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: found the right situation. Yeah, he won a playoff game, 857 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: what was it, fifteen to fourteen? A right way that 858 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: won the super Bowl. I know he's a Yeah, you're right, 859 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 1: can't do bad, by the way. Not everything.

Jack is and he was 968 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: at the AFC Championship game. He was also at the 969 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,879 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Anyway, that event is coming up April six. 970 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob in Las Vegas. Your next step 971 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 1: on talking Cowboys. Rob Hey, you know, out of the 972 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 1: big four, I call him, you know, dak Is, meet 973 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Cooper. I think Lawrence is the most unproven. 974 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Cooper's first two years with the Raiders was 975 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: really good. And last year if we don't get to 976 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know, Zeke is a two time Russian 977 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: Champ's gonna get suspended. Would probably be three for three 978 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,839 Speaker 1: and Dak say, which he does, played a position at 979 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: four and he wins. So when I look at these guys, 980 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: I agree the salary, we lost you and we got 981 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: some breaking news here for me and Rappaport. Yes, Cole 982 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: Beasley Buffalo bills seven point two five million dollars a 983 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 1: year for four years. There it is. Yeah, the Cowboys 984 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,919 Speaker 1: and that whole thing they were unwilling to they agree to. Yeah, 985 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 1: I agree, Yes, the Cowboys run willing to go over 986 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: six million dollars. I was told there they kind of 987 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: kept their number. And all hell Beasley wanted was guaranteed money. 988 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 1: So that's so that would be four years, twenty nine 989 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 1: million dollars gold Beasley to be Buffalo Bills. And they 990 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 1: just signed John Brown as well, three years twenty seven million. 991 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 1: So there you go. And actually you'll get to play 992 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,439 Speaker 1: third Banana. You get to play him next year then, right, Yeah, 993 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 1: basically let's come back here. Yeah. He wanted to get 994 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: whatever he could get it. Yeah, and he got it. Yeah, 995 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: Cowboy Colboys just didn't want to go over six million 996 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: dollars a year. That's what you get due to math 997 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 1: on that contract. Then the Cole Beasley, Yeah, what kind 998 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: of math would you like on it? It's seven point 999 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: two five a year. Moving to Buffalo, Okay, all right? 1000 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 1: Paying state income tax? You know, I've never heard anybody, 1001 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about state income tax. I've never 1002 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,439 Speaker 1: heard a player an agent talk about that. Well, because 1003 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: they don't know. I'm just saying though, I'm just saying 1004 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: that people talk about it as a negotiating until I 1005 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: think there are four states in this country that don't 1006 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 1: pay state income tax one of them. Yeah, And so 1007 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: I never hear an agent talk about that he can 1008 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: learn of Texas because where does the agent d C. 1009 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: Where does the agent live? Well, that I'm saying, though, 1010 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's that you never you never hear about that. 1011 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, it would make sense. But to 1012 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: some players. The other thing to make it never was 1013 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 1: going to work out with him. He wanted to be used, 1014 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: utilize more. How he just went where John Brown went. Well, 1015 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we no other plans. He just doubled 1016 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: his pay. He doubled his pay. His contract was for 1017 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,760 Speaker 1: here it was four years, thirteen point six million dollars 1018 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,880 Speaker 1: and he just signed for four years twenty nine million. 1019 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: More than doubled his pay. He had a four million 1020 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus, and he was guaranteed seven point three 1021 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: on that contract. It's good for him over four years. 1022 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: How many years you say it was three four? This 1023 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 1: contract is being reported as four years twenty nine and 1024 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 1: a half. That's all the details we have on it 1025 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: right now. Cole Beastly, you know the Buffalo Bills, he 1026 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: didn't Josh Allen the quarterback. Yeah, the guy came in 1027 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 1: from SMU, undrafted, all those things. You know, you got 1028 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: good years out of him. Thirty years. That's the that's 1029 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: the thing. Now you just move on, you know, you 1030 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: go and find so Yeah, so you go find a 1031 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,320 Speaker 1: guy you're doing. Yeah, you go find a guy, you 1032 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 1: go draft a guy. You know, you got a good 1033 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 1: pro department. They found out the human log for you. 1034 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: You know, you trust what they can do. Maybe come 1035 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: maybe you got some guys on on on current on 1036 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: the roster that could do that money. Randall Cobbs gonna 1037 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: get that's a good question there. That is a good 1038 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 1: question for if you did, like a one year deal 1039 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: with him something like that, I would kind of like 1040 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:13,280 Speaker 1: what Oakland did with Jordy Nelson. Sure. Sure. At this point, 1041 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: the projection would be Hearns in the slot. Yes, you know, 1042 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 1: you could play Cooper in the slot too, though. Jerry 1043 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: on the bus and Indie talked about how we're gonna 1044 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,240 Speaker 1: move him all over the place. You should, you should, 1045 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 1: you should make it very very hard for him to 1046 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: for people to cover him, is what you should do. 1047 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: And they moved him around some last year. Ye, yeah, 1048 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:37,800 Speaker 1: they did. Um. And by the way, Hearns he's starting 1049 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: to work out. Oh yeah, he's out there in the 1050 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,280 Speaker 1: captain's days. Yeah, so's he's back on the field running. 1051 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: Do you guys have interest in bringing back Tabon Austin. 1052 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: I've seen him around the complex a little bit here too. Um, 1053 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: now that you've lost Cole one year deal, veteran minimum thing. 1054 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,839 Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah, let him be my returner, let him get 1055 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 1: in camp. Yeah yeah, let him be that guy. I'm 1056 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: telling you this. The draft has got guys in there too. 1057 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: If you want to sit there and look at you 1058 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: got an extra competite story four. You know that'd be 1059 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: a good spot to grab one of these kids right there, 1060 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, And and to me, you know that's that's 1061 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, you got what you had at a Cole 1062 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: Beasley congratulations. You know, move on, try and get a 1063 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 1: little bit better there if you can. And you got 1064 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: the guy coming off ir right, Um, the wide receiver. Yeah, yeah, 1065 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: he's not a slot guy or outside. He's outside and 1066 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: playing a little in college, but he's not not that 1067 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 1: shifty guy. Exactly what the guys they have on their 1068 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: roster potential slot guys are. Well, you could say Alan 1069 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: Hearns would be one guy because you watch Jacksonville. That's 1070 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: kind of where you evaluated him right there. You look 1071 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: at Cooper would be a guy. What about Lance Lenore? 1072 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah there's another guy, you know, I mean they love 1073 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 1: Lance Lenore. Yeah, maybe he's not. Now Lanceloor practice is 1074 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 1: really good in the game. Sometimes he stinks, so you know, 1075 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: we got to figure that out. But yeah, I mean, 1076 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: I trust me. You listen to the Draft Show on Thursday. 1077 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 1: We talk about slot players all the time, guys that 1078 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: can do both because like it, and Isabella is a 1079 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: but you think he might be actually fifty eight or yeah? 1080 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: Watch him? Why I love I love studying slot guys. Well, 1081 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,919 Speaker 1: watch him play against Georgia. He holds the all time 1082 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: record against Georgia that they're at Sanford Stadium. If he 1083 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 1: call like fifteen balls in a game, I'm I'm like, 1084 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: did he drop one here? It's like no, you know, 1085 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 1: can't do it. A great job of producing on the 1086 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 1: fly right here, that's Andy Isabella right there. Kind of 1087 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: a short guy. How high is he gonna go? You 1088 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: know you might have to grab this guy at fifty eight. 1089 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: Now again, would you take a slot player at fifty eight? 1090 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: You probably wouldn't. But that's kind of where this is at. 1091 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 1: And like we're talking about a Hearns or a Cooper. 1092 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to typecast yourself. You can try to 1093 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: find out both. If you're If you're gonna take a 1094 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,560 Speaker 1: guy wide receiver at fifty eight, I take the Samuel 1095 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: Kid Mickey's guy from South Carolina because he could play 1096 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: in the slot devot. Mickey's guy should have kept Switzer bottle. Yeah, 1097 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: a pretty productive sea Pittsburgh. It wasn't bad. Yeh, that's right. 1098 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: Johawk Ward's working out though, so we're good. Yes, that's right. 1099 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: That pass rush, that he thing that worked out produced 1100 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 1: you look good. Note tas he looked real good. Was 1101 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: all OTAs it was about the pads. So when are 1102 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys going to sign somebody? What's what's your over 1103 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: under on? When they're going to sign this sweek him 1104 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: outside the building this weekend? Yeah, this week in position. 1105 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna sign the safety, the safe. I 1106 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 1: think so, whoa, we've saved the best for last year. 1107 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 1: I think this brought us the safety, you know, the 1108 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 1: University of Texas. We live in a day Adrian Phillips, 1109 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: but we live in a day and age where you 1110 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 1: know you're you're wrong for ten minutes and then that 1111 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: somebody you move on. I'm gonna tweet that Brian brought 1112 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 1: us says this weekend, Earl Thomas, I think what's gonna happen. 1113 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 1: You have to survive the next couple of days and 1114 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 1: then you're gonna see, You're gonna see you know, you see. Okay, 1115 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 1: what do we need to do to Yeah? And again 1116 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 1: this is I'm just I'm I'm speculating that the Cowboys 1117 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: actually want to do this deal. If the Cowboys don't 1118 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: want to do this deal, I'm gonna look like a fool. 1119 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: That's okay. So what kind of money I think they 1120 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: they will, They would do it if it was for 1121 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 1: their number, that's exactly. Yeah, I'd say, what do you think? 1122 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,800 Speaker 1: And if he doesn't find another landing spot, he's see 1123 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. If you survived the Atlanta thing, 1124 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: it give me today, give me tomorrow. By this weekend, 1125 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: we very well could be talking about Earl Thomas signing 1126 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys. He needs to. He needs to 1127 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,960 Speaker 1: move on a deal though, doesn't even for how much 1128 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 1: month before the chairs run out type thing? Right? Oh no, Yeah, 1129 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. He's running out a team, but 1130 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: they've run out almost he Okay, if you're Earl Thomas 1131 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: and you and you're playing now for and you didn't 1132 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 1: get what you wanted, don't you want to go where 1133 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 1: you would be happy. He's got Chris Rochard here, he 1134 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: see you know, he feels like, oh, that's a good 1135 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 1: scheme for me. They'll take care of me. Heck, they 1136 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 1: just did a survey on where agents did a survey 1137 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: about where do they want their players to end up? 1138 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 1: You know what the number one team was, Alice was 1139 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 1: the number one team and he just moved. I heard 1140 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 1: Austin Austin, right, Yeah, he's Austin. You know. Let me 1141 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: say this again. This is just I think that by 1142 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: this weekend, I'm I'll step out on that limb that 1143 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 1: they'll they'll get a real time because I don't think 1144 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a place to go. I don't and 1145 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna come hat. Doesn't that scare you? Nah? 1146 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 1: You know what scares me? Nobody else wants him. You 1147 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 1: don't be saying Patrick's Day parade it will be you 1148 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 1: know what. You know what scares me? Nikki is given 1149 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars to Nick Foles. Yeah, yeah, I 1150 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 1: can I can live with paying sixteen to twenty million. 1151 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: I can I can live with that. Sixteen to twenty 1152 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: million guaranteed two years. I can live with that. You 1153 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,439 Speaker 1: gave Cedric Thornton twenty million a couple of years ago. 1154 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: Thank you. How will it be packaged though, I mean, 1155 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: what will You're gonna have to probably guarantee it. You 1156 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 1: have to. You can guarantee the whole thing if you want, 1157 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 1: or you can. They talk about injury, you can announce 1158 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 1: it is three years, forty five million, sixty to twenty years. 1159 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 1: There you go, and then and then he doesn't have 1160 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 1: to swallow his pride, you know, or just give him. Yeah, 1161 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 1: put up the deal like Tyrn Matthew, three years, forty 1162 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 1: two years. You know, you're not competing against anybody now, 1163 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: it's it. It will maybe Atlanta, but he's gonna come 1164 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: hat in hand. I'm just shocked by this when Tying 1165 01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew couldn't get a deal last year and then 1166 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: he gets this monster deal from Kansas City and Earl's 1167 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: still out there, and I'm surprised because of age and injury. 1168 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: That's because he wants to be a cowboy. Well that's 1169 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: what I said. The teams just as soon. Maybe go 1170 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 1: with me on a signing. I mean, you don't go 1171 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: for it. No, no, no, it doesn't be Earl. It 1172 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: just could be anybody, anybody out there you like, Well, 1173 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 1: that's the guy I want, Okay, rob Anybuddy, Yeah, yeah, 1174 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: I am. I'm signing Jeremy Parnell. Okay, one year? You 1175 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 1: want Cam flemingback, Mick, No, he doesn't one okay, one year. 1176 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: That's not a bad name, by the way. Parnell absolutely good. Okay. 1177 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: And jack it was not bad at all. Shouldn't he 1178 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 1: get a lot more than and he got cut? Yeah? 1179 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: Then a backup role here. Yeah, he got a pretty 1180 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: big deal from Jacksonville. Yeah. Yeah, it got's back when 1181 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 1: they had all kinds of money. Yeah, now they don't 1182 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: have Now they don't have any money. Yeah, they needed 1183 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,080 Speaker 1: to pay a quarterback. That's my point. Doesn't mean he's 1184 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: a bad player. Restraints I am, I'm Mickey, gave Earl Thomas. 1185 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: Let's do it. I just you know what, I just 1186 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: think this weekend again, we need to figure out though. 1187 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: We need to get Atlanta out of the way and 1188 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: make sure that and then and they have Keanuneil Demante Kazi. Yeah, 1189 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 1: and Ricardo Allen and Kazi was just he was a 1190 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 1: reason why they lost the other when we played him 1191 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 1: always hurt. Yeah, that's another reason why. Yeah, they just 1192 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 1: need to They just need to structure the contract with 1193 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 1: a lot of incentives in it. If they do it, 1194 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 1: he's play. He's missed nineteen of forty eight. They need 1195 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: to do it like they did the Sean Lee contract. Yeah, 1196 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 1: but yes, yeah, but you know those games that he 1197 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 1: does play, he's a badass. Yeah, nineteen nineteen forty eight, 1198 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,600 Speaker 1: the last foot for three years, three years, forty eight six, 1199 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 1: Britt Brown, Jim Mara. They'll take care of him. He'll 1200 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 1: be fine. Journalism math, all right, I think we've run 1201 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 1: over our time. No Cowboys go wait, wait to talk 1202 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 1: about the Earl Thomas signing. Next to it was Beasley's 1203 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: fear on talking Cowboys. This has been a production of 1204 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
