When a 111 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: quarterback like Aaron Rodgers is pressuring his team to trade him, 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: do you call over to a team like that and 113 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: just say what's going on here, just as due diligence.

And then the 119 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: other one is, um, we're you surprised by the Eagles 120 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: moving up ahead of you, but not only moving up 121 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: ahead of you, but with the Cowboys. It just seems 122 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: like it's rare in division like that. And I'm going 123 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: for a receiver and taking one right there. You know, 124 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: I I think I said it earlier. You know, how 125 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: he how he's not afraid to trade with people with 126 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: people in the division. How he called me and I 127 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: told him, I said, yeah, I got no problem trading 128 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: with you. You know, it's it's it's a business deal. 129 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's a business deal, and one 130 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: hand washes the other. So obviously Dallas was happy with 131 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: their return. And you know, so they made the trade 132 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: with Philly. It's not a big deal.
