Yeah. J J. Pierce he was dropping 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.919 bombs after in the game and after in the game too. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.080 By the way, when they had the mic was too 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.760 close to the to the game. Is that what it was? 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.840 Now here was a postgame interviews? He purpose? I mean 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:54.880 he it just is you know how they talk over J. J. Pierce? Yeah, okay. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.960 J Pierce has been bullied out, Yeah, the school district. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.520 Sure he gets a fully down the court. Yeah, well 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.200 he's only done it for about eight years. Yeah, how 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.760 long is this gonna play? It's gotta be. Yeah, I 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.400 mean he could have been in last year and he 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.120 decided to come back. That's true. Yea so good decision 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.560 by him too, because I think he upped his value 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.079 for an NBA team, but not as a personal speaker maybe, 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.160 well no, no, no, yeah, you want him to try speak. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.120 That's what we want, right, let's not criticize anybody. And 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.760 the game was on TBS or TNT, it wasn't on CBS. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.560 What don't that mean no one heard him? You no, no, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.920 it's cable and so you can Yeah, we have turned 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.639 into this nice That's why by these days to where 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.320 we can just curse. And that's why barklaying it can 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.679 be on T and T, but we put him on CBS. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:58.400 Everybody's not happy with Barkley. Oh anywhere? Yeah, yeah, all right. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.160 So if we're gonna start backward, anything happened this morning. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.480 I have not seen anything other than supposedly bringing in 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.799 some guys for physical or I don't know if it's 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.040 a workout or what. But they're lower level free All 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.760 run it down, baby, run, Yeah, what we got going on? 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.680 I want to lower level free agents might start for 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.000 this team. Well, you never know, you know. Sometimes he 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.200 missed space. That's okay, So he only wants to talk 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.960 about the higher level free agents or the higher level 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.160 players that have come over in trade. I'm all right. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.520 I'm glad he wasn't here when I came out as 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.680 an undrafted free agent. I'm so glad I wasn't here. Yeah, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.680 I would never get an interview from him. Never he's 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.680 that's a lower level player, lower level player. He wouldn't 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:58.360 even draft lower level salary. Oh we're talking. O're not talking, okay, guys, right, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.360 we're talking the Jay Ryan curses of them. Yeah, it 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.480 was only that they turned out to be the Leady 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.040 Tatler on the team one year, and so so as 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.960 Donovan Wilson. And now is he now no longer a 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:18.400 lower level player? He was a priority? About Cooper Rush? 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:23.040 Is he a lower level player or a priority? Yeah? Okay? Yeah? 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.800 But his salary? So if if they don't sign Travan 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.040 Howard horn Frog, right, I don't think they're gonna say, oh, 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:37.320 there goes the season. Okay, right, Jay will if someone 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.280 goes down with an injury and he's got to start 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.440 for you, he won't. He don't. He doesn't think he's 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.760 gonna be got Damon Clark. They do, that's right, that's right. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.520 So they don't have bought all that played that up 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.479 with Brandy Cooks as the new cow man. That's crazy. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.839 That is crazy. What did you guys think of that? 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.240 You know, I've always liked him, I really have. But 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.919 when you look at the resume, you wonder why so 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.200 many teams? Right, you wonder why so many teams in 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.480 such a short period of time? Number one, But you 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:18.840 give him credit for producing on all of those teams 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.760 with some pretty shady quarterbacks. So you're looking at a 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.880 thousand yards what for six years? I think it was 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.760 six of the previous seven. Seven. That's that's that's pretty 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:35.000 good for someone. And he's under the radar still. Who's 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.240 on his fifteam? Is that? I mean, so that that 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.320 might give me pause. It might give me pause, But 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.000 obviously I'm sure Steven has has done his due diligence. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.640 There's a couple of different ways you can look at it. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.400 He's case this is his fifth team. Well, that means 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.799 that five teams have wanted him two well, and and 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:01.719 the majority of them have been trades. I believe every 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.960 one of them was. He got traded from New Orleans 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.640 to New England. New England traded him to the Rams, 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.359 the Rams traded him to Houston, and now Houston he 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.760 gets him to the Cowboys. He got traded before he 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:23.640 was drafted. Wow the spot. He was traded by the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.279 Cardinals as a twenty fourteen first round pick to the Saints, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.640 who then selected Brandon Cooks. So I mean that was 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.680 a sign. Now, that's a sign you're going to be 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.760 traded a lot of your career. You just were picked 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.240 by a team that just traded for years. With his 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.640 years with the Saints weren't bad, they just decided not 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.320 to pick up his fifty year option. And then when 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.160 he was the one year in New England. Oh, by 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.279 the way, who was the quarterback? Was his career year. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.239 And then he goes to the Rams. He was only 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.359 there two years. It was golf, but he got to 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:06.239 a Super Bowl. Uh, And he went to the Super 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.880 Bowl with New England, by the way, and then he 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.200 goes to Houston. And who was throwing him the ball 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.600 last year? Well, who was supposed to be throwing him 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.920 the ball when he went to Houston? Yeah, right, so 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.040 say it was there, you go. Yeah, So because it 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.160 was April of twenty twenty, he was traded and that 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.160 was so Houston deals Hopkins and so now they got 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.600 Cooks coming in. So he was the guy that was 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.040 basically replacing Hopkins, right, and then last year's and then 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.840 he wanted out because of the mess that they're right 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.840 and the Cowboys actually, and we talked about it here 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.880 that that you know you're looking at bettering guys. Then 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.000 you know we're sitting there going, okay, they can add somebody, 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.560 and they and they didn't trade him. They kept him. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.400 It was cost prohibitive as far as his contract for 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.720 any team after he wanted out and they didn't trade him, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:10.080 They capon sized him. He was a captain and they 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:15.160 took it away. Well, it was the way I understand 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.000 it is. Going into the season, they were on great terms, 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.440 you know, and then things went sour, you know, halfway 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.000 through the season. And I think that they basically had 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.880 an agreement if things do go south, okay, we'll movie 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.320 at mid season. And then his contract was such that 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.880 he couldn't be taken on by any Well, here's why 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.280 they signed him to a two year extension that would 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.280 I believe start this year thirty nine point seven to 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:50.800 six million dollars, so with a sixteen million dollars signing bonus. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:56.920 So he made his money right, and this year he 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:02.640 had an eighteen million dollars base salary. So part of 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.840 the trade was not only the Cowboys given them this 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.800 year's fifth which was I believe that the other compensatory 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.800 pick because they didn't have a fifth, right right, am 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:18.400 I right? And sixth next year. But Houston agreed to 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.720 pay six million of his eighteen million dollars guaranteed base salary. Okay, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.280 so they accounted for that. So the Cowboys are on 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.920 the books for twelve million plus roster bonus, so that 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.920 helped get the trade done that they took up some 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.760 of that money. Here's the way I look at it. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.400 They're paying the full eighteen million dollars at Brandon Cooks 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.400 is out, and the Texans are picking up the six 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.160 million dollars salary cap hit that Zeke Elliott counts. It's 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:50.040 the cap this year. But but he's a June He's 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.200 a June one release, right, remember that, and it's six 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.959 five point eight. Yeah, wow, there you go. But they 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.320 don't get his base salary until June's second, like get 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.880 the ten point nine million back into their cap. So 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:09.080 it's like a savings account. How many months for a 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.920 four month of CD because then they can use that 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.600 money to pay for their draft, which now without those 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.000 two other picks, I think it's around seven and a 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.839 half million, So it's like a savings account that they 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.680 can sign those guys for their rookie pool. You know, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.240 when you when you look at his career, I mean 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.760 obviously any player has gone to more than one team. 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.520 When you get to that other team, you know you've 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.840 you got something to prove. You have to go into 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.600 the locker room, let them know you that player. Let 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.880 them know that they can depend on you, and then 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.360 once you get out on the field, of course you 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.400 have to produce. Right, He's done that four or five 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.240 or six different teams, and that's the testament to him 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.120 and how mentally strong he is. And that's something you say, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.800 look at it several ways. A couple of ways, why 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.000 is he on so many teams? That could be a problem, 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.920 But the fact that he went to all of those 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:09.480 teams and he produced, okay, a thousand yards for five seasons, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.280 that's tough. That lets you know that he is a professional, 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.760 if nothing else, and that's what we need on this team, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.719 almost like a Marty, you know, you want that guy 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.079 that's a professional. No matter what goes on around him, 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.880 I'm gonna be you a consistent thermometers of the speak 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.200 and he was the year that he was acquired by 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.520 the Texans. Watson was his quarterback that year and eighty 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.520 one catches eleven hundred and fifty yards and six touchdowns. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.240 Right the next year, Watson's not the quarterback. Tyrod Taylor 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.679 starts the season and then Davis Mills takes over and 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.160 started eleven games. Tyrod Taylor started six games last year 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.000 or in twenty twenty one for them, and he had 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.840 ninety catches, a thousand yards and six usdowns and so 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.480 it was almost the exact same numbers as what he 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.040 had with Watson as his quarterback the year before. And 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.040 that's with Taylor and a rookie, he's got to be obviously, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.720 he's he's quarterback friendly and that's what you want. Well, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.559 and he fits exactly what the Cowboys need. I mean 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.520 when you look at what was out there as far 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.679 as Odell Beckham junior and anyone, and Adam Feeling was 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.640 a free agent out there, you know, and I don't 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.600 think it's Um who was a little bit older, But 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:29.360 I don't think it's coincidental that Adam Feeling immediately signed 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.600 with Carolina after this trade happened. And so it makes 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.320 you wonder, Okay, how much were the Cowboys in conversations 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.240 with Delon's people Um as well. But and but you 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.319 look at the way they fit into the offense, and 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.960 I think Brandon Cooks is the guy because they can 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.680 play him in the slot more so than you would 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:53.280 use Gallop in the slot or even Tolbert in the slot. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.840 And the good thing is is, even though there's another 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.120 year on his contract. If it doesn't work out, the 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.720 Cowboys can move on and it doesn't cost him a 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.160 dime because they Houston had to take care of all 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.760 the guarantees. Yes, and by the way, you know, you wonder, okay, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.000 what kind of guy is he when he's going from 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.040 one team to the next team to the next team. Well, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.040 I heard one of the beat writers I don't recall 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.960 who it was in Houston remarked yesterday that in all 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.839 his twenty eight years covering the NFL, Brandon Cooks is 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.800 one of the one of the best guys that he's 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.280 he's got, So he's kind of like, has that makeup 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.240 that t Y Hilton had. I mean, you were sawing 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.959 with Ty when he came in here, and and and 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:45.319 the other thing is, now this really totally opens up 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.720 the draft, right, It's not like I gotta have a 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.120 white research right, right. You know what I was doing. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.400 We went on a little family trip to Broken Bow 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:59.000 over into spring break, and so the rest of the 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.439 family had gone ahead. I had some work to do here, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.200 and so I went on Friday to join them. And 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.440 that's what I'm doing in my head as I'm driving, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.280 I'm okay, I'm performing the exercise. Okay if the Cowboys 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.280 started the season today, because that's kind of like what 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.120 we've always said going into the draft. You want to 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.760 be able to feel it like if you had to 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.280 play a game on April first, April fifteenth before the draft. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.320 You want to be able to have a team where 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.040 you don't have to fill in the blanks like you 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.080 could you could play a game with your roster as 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.160 it set right now. So I'm sitting They're going, okay, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.880 could the Cowboys play a game right now with the 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.280 roster they have? That was before the Brandon cookstrade, and 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.360 I was thinking, now they need a wide receiver. And 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.280 so I'm by myself on the drive back yesterday morning 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.720 and the radio and I hear about the Brandon cookstrade. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.560 I'm like, yeah, now we can play a gay We 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.120 can play a game. I mean, think about it. If 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:01.400 you want to do it right. You you've got starters 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.320 on offense that depending on even at tight end you 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:12.600 can go with Fergus. You can three wide receivers, maybe Ford, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:18.200 depending on what Tilbert does the offensive line after restructuring 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.440 Tyrn Smith, he could be your left tackle if he's 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.480 ready to go Tyler Smith is your left guard, be 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:31.160 honest or Martin and hopefully steal his back. Well, technically, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.280 right now, you can't play a game with one running back. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:41.440 I was gonna say, but that because right now, yeah, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.760 we have one running back. That opens up the window 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:51.000 to qualify a running back high in the drive. Right, Um, 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.720 but you could start right but you need somebody, And 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:59.920 that's why they probably brought in Ronald Jones McKinney. It's 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.480 being reported anyway, for the physical and whatever else they do. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.160 He's a veteran guy that's been around the block a 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.640 few years um, and at some point they had to 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.040 do that. But in the draft, now you say, I 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.160 got the twenty six pick, and if there's a couple 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.440 running backs available that late, you could actually trade down 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.160 and get one of them. Right. I said, even before 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.280 the Zeke move that you could take a running back 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.760 at twenty six, right, when when you're looking at where 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.960 the second running pick, yeah, right right, and where Pollard 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.360 is too in his career, no one's thinking of veteran 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.800 running back and they are because I mean that's why 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.680 Ronald Jones reported. Fortunately here veteran running backs are out 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.000 of the league. No one wants a veteran running back, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.840 and guy, we have never I mean, as much as 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.320 we've talked about it, they've never gone in that direction. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.120 No one's really hadn't even hinted looking at a veteran 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.360 running back. And is that because of them looking at 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:07.359 one Zeke? And wait, by the way, from what I 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.600 think three people in here that like no, no, no, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.359 number one. Since we're on Zeke and we'll let's go, 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.640 let's do Zeke in the next segment. But if you want, 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.720 we can do Zeke on the next segment. But um, 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.960 just remember I just wanted to point out and I 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.520 already did, about his money. You don't get that money. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.560 It's not like they got all this money still in 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:34.119 the salary cap um. It was Friday, maybe it was. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.160 It was suggested that they had enough money to do 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.920 something at Wide Receiver, so they were probably already in 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.800 talks with this one. Um. But yeah, yeah, we can 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.480 talk about the Zeke movie. We got Stefan Gilmour to 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.920 get into as well. That's all right. We didn't cover that. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.480 We didn't cover the guys. No, the guys that resigned, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:02.120 did they do that before, like Wilson uh and vanderh 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.600 which was significant to me. Yes, getting those two guys 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.400 that yeahs of last Monday, we those hadn't been done yet. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:17.160 And when the restructures for Dak, yes, Zach and then 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.040 Tyrn after that, that opened up a lot of money 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.239 that they could use. Uh and you know you were 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:31.320 going to some point extend Dak anyway. Um, same thing 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:37.159 with Zach. You don't have a problem there. Um. So yeah, 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.080 and then Tyrn restructured his that he can make his money, 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.560 but he's got a play for it, right. That's the 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.400 good thing about him missing so many games last year. 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.840 They were able to restructure his contract this year to 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.320 where they could put playtime incentives in there and it 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.639 wouldn't count against the cap this year. And oh by 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.000 the way, um, and the one that I thought also 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.280 they needed to get done, and they got it done 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:07.480 um late uh in the week resigning Cooper Rush and 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.359 I'm sure he saw all these other quarterbacks kind of 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:15.600 moving on and getting signed and he wasn't. Um and 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:19.000 so getting him back, you know, at the price they did, Yeah, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.840 it was, it was it was minimal right for what 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.240 they ended up. Well, when you saw what Gardner Minshew 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.680 got with the Colts. Uh, and it was some very 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:37.120 similar contract. Um, and I've got it down here somewhere. Um. Yeah, 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:43.200 he went to the well they signed Marcus Mariota Mariota 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.840 and actually Mariota fits what they do better than what 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:52.080 Minshew and Baker Baker Mayfield. Right, Tampa, Tampa, and he 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.760 saw his deal. Yeah, one year, four million dollars. So 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.800 Tampa has no money and people were talking about zero 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.240 Some people are talking about Zeke going to Tampa because 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.800 Skip Pete is there. Well, they are like forty thousand 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.879 dollars under the salary cap right now. I'm oh yeah, 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.160 I mean they are. They have no money to spend. Yeah, 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.800 thanks to Tom Brady button he got got his super bow. 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:21.240 So basically h Cooper Rush ended up with a two year, 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:26.159 five million dollars max, I mean total with six million 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:31.760 dollars max. But he's, um, where's his cap? Got it here? 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.080 He's only like two point five million under the cap. 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.720 So for this year one point five million dollars base 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:46.920 plus his UH bas is guaranteed, Yeah, bas is guaranteed 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.720 and his one point h and then he's got a 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.760 signing bonus also of one point two five million. Yeah. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.960 So he's like two million under the cap. How many 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:01.560 teams is he gonna go to? Who's that Cooper? Right, 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.199 I was talking about Baker Mayfield. Yeah, well, Baker his 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.159 deal now, and what would appeal to him at Tampa 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.080 Bay is this is his make good year. Okay, he 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.320 because there were no teams that he needs to He 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.320 needs to perform for Tampa Bay because people are talking 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.399 about that Kyle Trask, it's a competition between him, and 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.680 there's no competition with Kyle Trask and him. I mean 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:31.119 traskally one year of college football, and but when you 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.280 sign a one year deal, you basically say, okay, prove 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.360 it right, and then somebody else's say I need a quarterback. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.680 And he looked around the league and Menshew's got one year, 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.800 three and a half million dollars with the Colts and 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.840 they're they have an open position at quarterback right now. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.840 And so those guys are like, Okay, that's my best 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.640 opportunity to compete for a starting spot and I might 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.560 be able to get my career going again. Yeah, that's 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.479 and that's what I was looking at. Yeah, you know, 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.720 the career was was trending upward from the beginning, and 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:08.119 man this guy talking about Baker Mayfield. This guy has Wow, 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.240 he has really gone through so much, so many teams, 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.879 so many more injuries, so many, but he revived it 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.640 by showing up with the Rams and two days later 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.600 winning a Thursday night game, and all of a sudden, 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.040 one Thursday night game and all of a sudden, he's 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.360 talked out of the game. Now it's it's quarterbacks. Yes, 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.359 there's not enough yes right, I mean Andy Dalton got 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:38.480 resigned and nice deal too, yep with Carolina And obviously 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.760 he's going to be the mentor to whoever they draft 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.360 with the first pick in the draft starting until yeah, 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.320 that guy's depending on Yeah, so what they decided to 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.919 do with it. So it's a great deal for Andy Dalton. 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.760 And in fact it was two years, ten million dollars, 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.840 so he got you can see the what the market 0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:03.240 for quarterbacks were went from day one a free agency. 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:07.640 Dalton gets two years, ten million dollars, eight guaranteed. So 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:09.680 that spot in Carolina has now taken. Now, all of 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:16.280 a sudden, everything's dropping for those type quarterbacks, type quarterbacks, 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.520 for those type quarterbacks, and so the market got cut 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:24.960 in half for Mayfield and the menshoe types where they're 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.840 making half that now, and it's like an entirely different pool. 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.680 You know, it's not the upper ECHE line. And I'll 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:35.159 guarantee you what what Cooper Rush's agent was doing. And 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:38.879 it sudden, Okay, will any of these quarterbacks that have 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:43.720 teams that need a starting quarterback give him a chance 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.919 to compete? And obviously they didn't, so it's like, okay, 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.199 we'll just stay here and get some guaranteed money. And 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:54.480 I wonder why it is maybe I don't have to 0:23:54.520 --> 0:24:00.520 play that would you take Menshoe over Cooper? I mean, 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.160 you know, I think Cooper would have a chance. He's 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:08.600 probably guys problems, but probably what we know we might Yeah, 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.720 but other teams they'll look at him physically. They didn't 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:17.720 see what six and out there in his career. Yeah, 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:22.120 in one year maybe, but even this last season, Minshew's 0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.479 stock went down the last three weeks of the season 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.840 because he had an opportunity to start for a super 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.200 Bowl team and didn't win two games. But I'm assuming 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:38.360 he got drafted, right, Minshew in Cooper Rush to see 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.080 where he was drafted. You know, once you get tagged, yeah, 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:46.240 I know it's an undrafted rookie you'll never make it up, buddy. 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.360 It will affect you the rest of your life, not career, 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:56.920 but life, even into your sixties. It will affect you. 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.360 I never made that, buddy back and Minshew was sixth 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:03.840 round pick of Jacksonville in twenty nineteen. All right, speak 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:08.000 we had when we come back guy that was drafted. 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.440 Oh well, there's a couple of guys who were drafted 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.399 in the first round, in top half of the first round, 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.520 who are now well. One is a Dallas Cowboy. One 0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:19.320 no longer is a Dallas cowboy. We talk about them 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.760 when we come back on Mike Shots.

Let's do Gilmore in this segment. 0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:01.240 We'll save Zeke for the last second month. All right. 0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:04.800 Stefan Gilmore given up a fifth round draft pick for him? 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.720 What do y'all think? I think that's a bargain. That's 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.520 what I think. This guy's top quality, man. I mean 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:15.720 he's You don't get MVP for nothing, right, defensive MVP 0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.879 under Bill Belichick. You're checking all the boxes. Now, you know, 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:21.960 and you have a chance to bring that guy here 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.200 and have him play with Trey varn This is this 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.640 is the top right now, I mean the top cornerback 0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:33.199 duos in the NFL. Gilmore back in twenty twelve, was 0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.679 a first round draft pick, number ten overall of the 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:41.440 Buffalo Bills. And you look at his career and the 0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:44.800 Pro Bowl selections, five of them in his career and 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:49.120 they have all come since twenty sixteen or twenty sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.520 twenty and twenty one. Did not make the Pro Bowl 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:55.840 last year with his one year in Indianapolis, previous year 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.080 in Caroline. Here's another one. He's gone okay, one, two, 0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.680 three for this is his fifteen You know what, though, 0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.520 you can and as you point out with his Defensive 0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:11.200 Player of the year's selection with the Patriots been twenty nineteen. Um, 0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.800 you can you could in five Pro Bowls in his 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:19.680 career if he puts a couple more years together. He's 0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:24.080 in that Canton conversation. Yeah, and to think he is 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:28.520 only he's got twenty nine career interceptions. He is only 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:35.880 twenty eight interceptions from person walk good luck better good Yeah, 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:41.560 but many ever since same after he turned thirty. That 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.360 was my only drawback when I saw it, I said, Okay, 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:48.640 he's thirty, he's gonna turn thirty in September. Yeah, but uh, 0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:55.840 you know he's gonna know he's turning thirty three thirty 0:29:55.920 --> 0:30:02.840 in September. Yes, he's taking I was thinking of Brandon Cooks. Yes, 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:07.200 now he's taking out. So when I listened to him 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:12.640 he did a conference call on Friday, I thought I 0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:16.440 was listening to t Y Hilton. Just the things he said, Yes, 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:21.240 very mature, um, not bragging. You know, I'm coming here 0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:26.000 to work. I try to improve every year, and sounded 0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:30.880 like he had no problem whatsoever helping the young That's 0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.560 what I was gonna say. He would be invaluable in 0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:41.080 that regard with mcquama, who played cornerback at South Carolina. Right, 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:47.400 he's a South Carolina guy too, until they put him 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:52.600 here and not knowing if they will even give um 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.280 Anthony Brown a one year deal coming off as Achilles 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:03.040 Diggs would have been the most experienced corner going into 0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:07.440 his fourth year. And Jordan Lewis assuming he's by the way, 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.200 and I saw him on the field starting his on 0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:14.200 field workouts, so he's on the way, But that's those 0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:19.600 two guys, darn Bland, right mcquomo. We're talking young guys 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.960 and even digs. But the way he answered the question was, 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:29.040 I would like to teach them what I didn't know 0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:34.000 when I was young that I learned now. And he's 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:38.280 got some talented cornerbacks to really mentor right, I mean 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:41.360 they need if he comes in does his job. You're 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.880 talking about the Cuomo going from potential to reaching it, 0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:49.360 right and and what six to four Yep, that kind 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:54.040 of potential. I'm sure Gallimore when he comes here, he's 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.240 thinking Gilmore, when he comes here, he's thinking it's gonna 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.360 be my My playing time here is gonna be brief, 0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.280 but his impact could last for a long time. Well, 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.880 even along those lines with the contract situation that at 0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:11.080 the cowboy's face with Trayvon going into his contract year, Okay, 0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:16.200 you now have two established cornerbacks who are in contract 0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.760 years right on both sides, and then you have two 0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:23.520 options there your third guy, Lewis if Bland doesn't beat 0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:26.680 him out, who led the team, by the way in 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.840 five interceptions last year, and they had him outside. He 0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.960 was really good inside. I still think he can play outside, 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.520 but you got some interchangeable partner. That's what you have, 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.840 and interchangeable parts and that's what part I lack about it. 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:45.480 And the key thing is is so his base, his 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:49.560 cap hit will be like nine point nine million dollars, 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.880 but again, you're not tied to him if it doesn't 0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:57.720 work out. You're talking about a cornerback. Yeah, they got 0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:07.560 defensive player yet the first cornerback to win that award. 0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:13.800 I was gonna say Woodson, Maybe Charles Woodson. I think 0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.600 that might It could be either one of us, pretty 0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:22.440 damn yeah, because it always goes to a linebacker or somebody. 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:27.120 It's very unique for a defensive back, and especially a cornerback. Yeah, 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.560 to get the MVP for defensive MVP, I think in 0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.760 nineteen eighty two I was close to its strike year. 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.360 I mean, but it had to be almost flawless. And 0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:40.280 when you look at him being playing under Bill Belichick 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:44.640 in that New England defense, he's bringing a lot of 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:48.560 knowledge to these young guys and seeing the key thing. Yeah, 0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:51.880 there's my thirty three. Uh. Like the key thing is 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:54.240 too that they only have to give up a fifth 0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:59.480 round pick for right, it's a fifth, so you kept 0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:04.120 your your draft choice the same with Brandon Cooks a fifth, 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:08.120 this sixth next, Okay, fine, but I still have those 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:11.719 first four picks. And then you talk about what a 0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:15.000 veteran like that can bring to the team. He didn't 0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.440 just get the MVP because he was picking off interceptions. 0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:20.960 It was because the plays that you talked about doing 0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:25.120 the break you know, the tough uh, the plays that 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.280 stopped the team for moving the chain. He had eleven 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:33.840 breakups and three of them came on the opponent's five 0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:39.239 final possession of the game to save three of their 0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:44.920 four victories. So that tells you about making plays right. 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:48.040 And he talked about, you know, the ability to make 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:52.440 him plays at the right time. Yeah. Yeah. Charles Woodson 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:55.480 and oh nine as the defensive Player of the Year. 0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:00.920 He was with the Packers cornerback. Okay, go prior to that. 0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:05.880 It was nineteen ninety four, the head coach of the 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:16.080 Colorado Buffalos. And by the way, know him as the 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.480 head coach. This is how he will be known. And 0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.600 that was Atlantic. By the way, it was San Francisco, 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:28.480 San Francisco Super Bowl. Don't don't remind us San Francisco 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.040 and Rod Woods. Rod Woodson the year before in ninety 0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:35.160 three and looking to see any other corner and then 0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:48.759 nineteen eighty nineteen eighty with the Raiders Leicester Leicester sty. 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:55.040 Prior to that, nineteen seventy five Steelers talk about a 0:35:55.160 --> 0:36:01.120 six four cornerback blunt. Yeah, there you go. The rest 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.000 of the story on cornerbacks. Once again, you came around 0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:08.879 too late one year. Right, I'm still looking. I'm still 0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.600 looking up in me with the big cowboy had on 0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:16.040 well in the awards started in nineteen seventy one. Otherwise, 0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:21.600 mel renfro would have wire you go just no, may 0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:25.239 I mean, if I'm not there, you go, there you go. 0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:28.840 He could have good, good deal bringing him because because 0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.480 by the way, cornerback would have been right up there 0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:35.799 with that white receiver the top three. So they took 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.000 care of two of them right away. And then you're 0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:40.680 talking about with the draft. Yeah, and it still is 0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.359 and yeah, right, and you still can't you can't. Yeah, 0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:46.279 that's right, that's exactly right. And the other part of 0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:49.080 it is. And I don't think this was coincidental either. 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:53.640 So the Cowboys make the trade for Gilmore. The Eagles 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:57.960 have a couple of cornerbacks who were either free agents 0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:03.759 or on the about to get the cap casualty list. Say, well, 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.200 James Bradberry, he resigned with the Eagles, and then they 0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:10.280 were the reports were that they were going to release 0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:14.400 Darius Slay and then all of a sudden, they magically 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:17.960 came up with enough money to resign Darius Slay. Now, 0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.000 Darius Slay may have bad in his mind that maybe 0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.719 I'll go to the Cowboys, and then they he's pretty good, 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:28.160 and so as it turned. And the other thing is, 0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:31.680 look at it this way with the Cowboys, what about 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.839 it the trade deadline last year that it was after 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.279 the trade deadline or right at the trade deadline when 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:40.200 the Cowboys started having their injury issues at cornerback with 0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:42.880 Lewis going down and then Anthony Brown going down. If 0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:45.279 that happened a month earlier, Cowboys might have been in 0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:47.279 the market for a step on Gilmour at the trade 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:50.399 deadline last year, you know, yeah, because the Colts saw 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:54.000 where they were, they weren't going anywhere, and they had 0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:57.400 a commodity and so they and basically the other thing 0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.719 they did, and this is what teams are starting to do. 0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:08.600 They're putting salary cap priorities on draft choices like I'll 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:12.000 take this if you take this off my hands, right, 0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:15.600 you take this off my hands, just give me this, right. 0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:18.120 And so you know a guy like that, you'd think 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:20.719 you'd get a third round pick. But they're looking at 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.840 and go, yeah, but I got to inherit all this 0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:26.959 salary cap space. And so that's what teams and looking 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:31.320 and looking at his right exactly. So but his his 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.880 I don't know, ten fifteen minute the conference call was 0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:38.640 pretty impressive. So he'll be a really good addition into 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:43.520 that locker room. Was that the something special that the 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:46.480 Jerry was talking about at the combine. Don't dismiss us 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.920 doing something special. And we said it in free agency, 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.720 but I would think the Gilmour move and the Brandon 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:58.719 Cooks move that's special. Sea. Yeah. Plus you're you're not 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:04.439 sitting there bidding basically to try to sign somebody who's 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:08.120 an unrestricted free agent, because that's when the money goes up. 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.279 But here you're taking you knew what you were going 0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:14.520 to have to inherit and it's like, okay, if I 0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:16.600 got to inherit all that all you're getting is a 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:22.080 fifth and they're like, okay, right, So what he said 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.600 it too soon? So what do you think ob Ja's 0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:28.680 reaction was when he heard about the Brandon Cook straight, Oh, 0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:31.280 he can have another chip on his shoulder. The cowboys 0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:33.680 don't want me again. Now that's just another player that's 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:40.239 mad at the Cowboys yet line buddy, But yeah, that 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.920 that's something about Sunday Mornings with Odell. Things happened bad 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.360 on Sunday Mornings with him. That was when the plane 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:53.799 incident was. All right, let's talk Zeke when we come 0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:58.320 back on mix shots. We paid how much for those lessons? 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:02.400 She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:10.520 a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that. 0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:13.719 That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for 0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:16.840 the encore. You know what, You're right?

Okay, all right, 0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:29.600 that was like so Market at the Star And I 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:33.080 think they just had this weekend the home show at 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:39.120 at Ford Center. Oh okay, very nice, um, which by 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:45.640 the way, I attended last year. Yeah, and about three 0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:50.480 or four months later bought new windows for half the 0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:53.400 house because I saw what the windows look like and 0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.200 what we had and what they can do for you. Yeah, 0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:58.920 they can go for you. Oh my. And then you know, 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:02.360 we did that same that we did the uh we 0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.080 didn't do the whole house. We did we did we 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:09.560 did downstairs in the back and then I'm in my 0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:12.680 backyard looking. Well, man, that's a big different. We need 0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:14.359 to do the rest of the house and we haven't 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:17.120 done it yet. We do too, And we called our 0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.279 daughter and I said, yeah, we just kind of spent 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:25.719 your inheritance. That's amazing how much windows costs. Hey, but 0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:29.040 I put my windows in as they were being installed. 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:32.759 If you put them in, I had. I had. A 0:43:32.880 --> 0:43:36.160 guy came back, came over we were weren't even finish yet, 0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:39.040 with a card and say, hey, man, I'll buy your 0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:41.480 house for you. I'll buy your house because he saw 0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.920 the windows. Yes, yeah, yes, immediate improvement. It's a striking 0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:49.719 I immediate improvement. All right, that's we're gonna talk Zeke 0:43:49.760 --> 0:43:52.600 in a second. But first, Dalton Schultz still out there 0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:55.479 in free agency. What do you make of this? Well, 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.799 I would imagine the Cowboys would have liked them back, 0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:04.239 but at their price. And maybe it's coming down to 0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:07.440 their price. And maybe, I mean because if you think 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:09.880 about it, he was not a happy camper. He was 0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:12.640 not a happy camper. He kind of played like it 0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.000 too at certain points of this season. But he would 0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.960 make plays that made you think, Okay, I'd like him, right, 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.319 but like at what costs? Because I've got two young 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:27.160 guns that did a decent job, and then I started 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:31.640 looking on tight ends that were on the move. Darren 0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:36.520 Waller got traded to the Giants. I got crazy story 0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:39.720 behind that, but go ahead. Hunter Long went to the Rams. 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:44.280 Josh Oliver got resigned by the Vikings as a blocking 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:46.360 tight end. Well, he went from Baltimore, No, he was 0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:49.080 with Baltimore to the Vikings and he got Okay, the 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.680 numbers on his numbers three three years, twenty one million 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:57.359 dollars ten point seven guaranteed blocking tight end. And I'm 0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:01.080 sure that's what Sheltz is looking at. He's the So 0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:04.120 he's the second tight end because obviously Minnesota's got t. J. 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:07.600 Hopkinson as the other tight end. And then uh, Evan 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:14.000 Ingram got tagged um john Nu Smith went to the 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:18.400 Falcons from the Patriots. From the Patriots and juwan is 0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:23.440 it Johnson to the Saints for two years twelve million. Uh, 0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:26.120 and then there was others that have just recently even 0:45:26.239 --> 0:45:29.239 taken place. And he's got veteran minimum deals. Yeah, and 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.799 when you look at the numbers now over the past 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.439 especially three years, you're looking at really good tight end numbers. Yeah, 0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:39.040 so he's I'm if I'm Shelts, I'm thinking this is 0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:42.759 what I'm kiing on. Yeah, I'm Dak's outlet. Yeah, I'm 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:46.640 the guy they think the other one was Gisicky. Yeah. Yeah, 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:50.000 gets went from the Dolphins to and so this relates 0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:53.560 a lot with Dalton Shoults. Okay, Okay, here's what the 0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:56.920 market is on tight end right now. This just happened 0:45:56.920 --> 0:46:01.600 over the weekend. Gisicky got one year nine million dollars 0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:06.520 max now max from the Patriots, so he can he 0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:09.400 can make up to nine million dollars. That's where the 0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.560 tight end market is, right. How are you gonna let 0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:14.480 Bill Belichick set the tight end market? I mean, whether 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:18.120 you can't, why would you let that be the market? Well, 0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:20.320 it is not that the market is what the market is? 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.800 What did what did shows make last year? He was 0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:26.759 tagged what make ten point eleven? It was eleven million? 0:46:27.800 --> 0:46:30.600 So that's what he's looking for. Well, he's that's a 0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.160 starting point, That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, but he 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.200 might need the battle. Well, I'm just I remember those days. 0:46:36.280 --> 0:46:38.759 I'm getting into that feeling right now. I mean, that's 0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:40.960 what that's what if you don't get worth if you 0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:45.640 don't get it that first week, and things start going 0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:49.600 down because everybody got their priorities and they've already spent 0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:53.400 their money. Yeah so now and yeah, so who are you? 0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:56.320 Who are you left with? Yeah, this is the secondary 0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:58.799 market now, and you might have to take a one 0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:01.440 year kind of proof it deal again to see when 0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.920 the market gets reset next. I wouldn't call it the 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:09.839 prove it year. He's already approved himself. Deal, proved approved deal. 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.800 I don't care what else. No one was taken. That's true. 0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:16.480 That's true. And there's been like ten moves with tight ends, 0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:18.719 and that's where you start to get nervous as a 0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:22.160 tight end. Yeah. Now, having said that about GASICKI, Schultz 0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:26.480 has better numbers than what GASSICKI. Did you look this 0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:31.480 past year, okay, fifteen starts with Dallas Schultz fifty seven catches, 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:34.520 five hundred and seventy seven yards, five touchdowns. The previous 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:39.120 year seventy eight receptions, eight hundred eight yards, eight touchdowns. 0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:42.080 That was the year for yeah. Yeah, and so he 0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:45.520 gets tagged after that year. All right, Going back to gisick, 0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:51.320 this past year only thirty two catches, three hundred and 0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:56.480 sixty two yards five touchdowns, seventeen games, one start, seventeen games, 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:59.279 nine starts. Just how he's used in So how is 0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:03.680 that setting them seven The year before seventy three catches 0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:06.839 seven hundred eighty yards two touchdowns, and the year before 0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:09.480 that fifty three catches seven oh three and six. So 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:12.319 it's kind of similar to Schultz right there. He had 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:16.160 a down year statistically compared to what Schultz did this year, 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:22.040 and so that's where Gasicki is. So it gets back 0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:25.800 to gasick signs with the Patriots for one year because 0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:27.440 he's got to get his he's got to get back 0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:29.879 up and and it's a two tight end situation there 0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:32.800 with Hunter Henry. So they traded away John U. Smith 0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:36.840 to Atlanta and now they've got their second tied end. 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:39.399 You know how much Belichick loves using the two tight ends, 0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:42.800 especially two tight ends that can also catch, you know. 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.120 So anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how it 0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:49.200 plays out with Schultz. Now here's the one with Josh Oliver, 0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:53.480 the blocking tight end. By the way, three years, twenty 0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:59.160 one million. Last year he had twenty six catches, twenties 0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:02.520 no no take back. He has twenty six catches in 0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:06.719 the past three seasons and two touchdowns and averages ten 0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:10.360 point six of catch and he got three years max 0:49:10.440 --> 0:49:13.400 of twenty one million. I promise you. If I'm Dalton, 0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:17.400 I'm like, I'm not even considering or listening to that 0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:20.400 guy's numbers because he's not in my category. I mean, 0:49:20.480 --> 0:49:22.680 that's the way I would look at it. You're arrogance, 0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:25.719 of course, goes away the more moves to get made 0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:29.480 without you being involved in it. So yeah, you can. 0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:32.239 You probably can stay with you, but for so long, 0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:34.080 and I know I would be that guy that would 0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:37.880 probably my pride would overstay. Now this one will hurt you. 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:43.240 But the deal that Cowboys got with Gilmore, Jalen Ramsey 0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:49.840 signed with Miami three years, fifty five million max. Thirty 0:49:49.880 --> 0:49:53.960 five million guaranteed. The Cowboys are on the books for 0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:57.879 Gilmore for basically almost ten million dollars on one year. 0:49:58.880 --> 0:50:02.480 So yeah, that's what the market starts at, and then 0:50:02.560 --> 0:50:07.959 you can see how it drifts, and it drifts downward usually. Okay, Zeke, 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:13.759 what's what are your thoughts on? Zeke? My guess is 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:19.359 they thought the ten point nine million and right really 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:22.640 so was his base salary was a little much after 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:30.680 they guaranteed Pollard ten million. My other guess is, after 0:50:30.880 --> 0:50:35.759 everything he's done here, they didn't want to insult him 0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:39.480 by doing something with his contract and saying, okay, but 0:50:40.040 --> 0:50:45.000 we'll pay you three million. So I think in some regards, 0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:48.680 if they were going to move on, they kind of 0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:52.200 did him a favor by letting him go early for 0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:55.120 other teams that might be looking for running backs to 0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:59.800 see what they can get. Now, my other understanding is 0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:04.520 is don't sleep on. If they're still looking for a 0:51:04.640 --> 0:51:08.560 running back after the draft, um that they go back 0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:10.960 to them and say, okay, that's what I was thinking. 0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:17.000 Maybe two million, four million, something like that, Um, we'd 0:51:17.080 --> 0:51:19.640 like to have you back. You know, Samaj p Ryan 0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:23.040 got two years, seven and a half million dollars from 0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:26.520 the broncos Man and that's probably the max. Yeah, I 0:51:26.640 --> 0:51:30.640 have to look up exactly what, but but you think 0:51:30.680 --> 0:51:34.719 about what type back Zeke is and well and his 0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:37.960 ability to pass protech. Apparently p Ryan is like that, 0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:41.000 was like that with Cincinnati, and so pet Sean Payton 0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:45.839 probably looks at him as that type. Jamal Williams went 0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:49.280 to the Saints and it was three three years, twelve 0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:53.160 million dollars max. Okay, So it was in that same 0:51:53.640 --> 0:51:57.080 I think I don't remember the exact numbers, but it 0:51:57.280 --> 0:52:00.600 was that's the market for the running and if the 0:52:00.680 --> 0:52:03.600 Cowboys end up, that was the That was the market 0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:06.279 last week for the running. Right now this week where 0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:10.080 Nald Jones, we'll see what the Cowboys might offer him 0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:14.279 as an unrestricted free agent, so he can test the 0:52:14.360 --> 0:52:17.800 market to see what's there and if not, you know, 0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:22.279 because Dak wasn't you know, got interviewed about Zeke going 0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:25.960 and he wonn't you know, all in on that, and 0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:30.400 even uh Troy Aikman spoke up about it, saying, you know, 0:52:30.600 --> 0:52:33.480 you got that type of guy. He's hard to replace. 0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:36.719 And on my bottom line on him is who's going 0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:40.520 to take up his twelve rushing touchdowns? Just tell me who? 0:52:41.680 --> 0:52:46.040 Pollard had a great year. He had nine, right, uh 0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:49.120 And and so okay, say he gets ten, Well, where's 0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:51.680 the other twelve coming from him? And that's where Jamal 0:52:51.760 --> 0:52:54.560 Williams he had like eighteen touchdowns for the Lions last year. 0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:58.880 So he's a very similar type player and a agewise 0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:01.480 to where Zeke is. He got three years, twelve million, 0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:04.920 eight million guaranteed, So it's really three years and who 0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:07.320 gave that to New Orleans? And he was with Detroit 0:53:07.480 --> 0:53:10.840 last year. So that's kind of where the market was 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:12.920 at the end of last week as far as running 0:53:12.920 --> 0:53:16.560 backs go. And so what's what's Zeke going to get 0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:20.760 someplace else? And he's sort of Williams in New Orleans 0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:25.200 a supplemental back, right, because they're still banking on Kamara. Yeah, 0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:29.000 you know, thirty out of thirty two teams in one Yeah, 0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:34.440 it's basically basically pretty much twenty nine out of thirty 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:37.560 two teams in the league, they're all supplemental backs, you know, 0:53:37.760 --> 0:53:42.200 because it's it's multiple. I mean, the Raiders used Josh Jacobs, 0:53:42.239 --> 0:53:46.880 the Titans used Derrick Henry all the time, Bell cow backs, 0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:52.200 and Barkley with the Giants maybe, but but and and 0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:54.959 maybe McCaffrey. We'll see how McCaffrey's going to be used 0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:59.520 on for a full season with San Francisco. But that's 0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:01.880 that's the way they're running. That's why the running back 0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:04.719 market is solo. And plus you got the draft stare 0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:06.440 and he in the face and then another guy that 0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:09.920 wants out and San Diego probably doesn't want him pay him. 0:54:10.040 --> 0:54:15.279 San Diego Austin Neckler wants out and they don't want 0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:17.680 to give him a big contract, and that's why he 0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:20.000 wants I think he's heading into his last year, all right, 0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:23.440 And I got one more point to make on Zeke. 0:54:24.320 --> 0:54:26.879 I went back and looked at and I'm not saying 0:54:27.000 --> 0:54:29.760 Zeke is Emmett Smith, but I went back and looked 0:54:29.960 --> 0:54:35.080 at Emmett Smith's numbers. In nineteen ninety six, his seventh 0:54:35.160 --> 0:54:38.000 year in the league, he was twenty seven years old, 0:54:38.160 --> 0:54:43.360 the same age as Zeke this past season. Okay, seventh 0:54:43.440 --> 0:54:45.560 year in the league, twenty seven years old, I mean, 0:54:45.760 --> 0:54:51.000 and Emmett had averaged three point seven yards a carry 0:54:51.160 --> 0:54:55.719 in nineteen ninety six and scored twelve rushing touchdown. Zeke 0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:59.000 his seventh year in the league, same age, three point 0:54:59.040 --> 0:55:03.120 eight yards a carry, twelve touchdowns, exact same number. So 0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:05.800 I remember it was several years ago. I did this 0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:09.719 kind of study on running backs, and I determined that 0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:14.279 the line of demarcation on production was twenty eight years old. 0:55:14.840 --> 0:55:19.680 Once you got past twenty eight, careers went downhill for running. 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:23.520 And so there's one guy in history, Emmett Smith, yes, 0:55:23.680 --> 0:55:27.839 who went another seven years beyond that with another nine 0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:32.400 thousand yards. Here's an interesting fact. Let me get my 0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:38.200 interesting fact out from Gil Brandt. The seventy five draft 0:55:38.400 --> 0:55:41.200 when the Cowboys were trying to decide if they wanted 0:55:41.560 --> 0:55:46.080 Randy White or Walter Payton, and they did a study, 0:55:46.360 --> 0:55:51.400 he said, and it said that the career length of 0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:58.360 defensive lineman far exceeded running backs. So they decided Randy 0:55:58.440 --> 0:56:01.400 White instead of Walt. Think that's tough. All right, we 0:56:01.520 --> 0:56:03.520 gotta go and we'll talk to you next week on 0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:07.480 Mike Shots. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys 0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:10.160 dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
