Speaker 1: for granted. And to you know, sign a sign an

156
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: NFL contract very thankful feeling, and you know that's what

157
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: that's the that's the main emotion. Yeah, when you mentioned

158
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the cap, I mean it's it's now expected to kind

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: of go up in the coming years or two with

160
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: the new TV deal that was just done. Was that

161
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: something that's kind of top of mind for you, understanding

162
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: that it's not the best market to go back to,

163
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: so maybe I want a shorter term deal here. Um,

164
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: I think football is a yearly proposition, you know. Anyway,

165
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta you come together however a team

166
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: is built. And um, you know, that was just the

167
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: opportunities that were presented to me. And if that ends

168
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: up being advantageous, then all the better. Thanks. Next question

169

171
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,079

172
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: the way the center position will shake out? Obviously if

173
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: they were still talking to David, who is a teammate

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,040

175
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: guys are just gonna be here. We're gonna need interior alignment.

179
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: when David resigned? Well, um, nothing is ever promised in

215
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: good to see you. When you left the Patriots, did

216
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: you ever envision a possibility to consider the possibility for return,

217
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: potentially signing only a one year deal with Miamian What

218
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: do you think the keys were from you're around in

219
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: their end to be able to renew your relationship professionally?

220
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: What was important when you left this organization originally for you? Well,

221
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: when I left, yeah, I mean I was I guess

222
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: I really wasn't even thinking about it, you know, I

223
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: was just kind of thinking about the season ahead. Um,

224
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: but always open to any possibility. And I you know,

225
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: have many great relations and SIPs here. I feel I

226
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: left it pretty good, and um, you know, to come

227
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: back is very exciting and you know, um, as far

228
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: as factors, I mean, it was, you know, a great

229
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: offer and a chance to come and contribute in one

230
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: of the you know, one of the best organizations in

231
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: sports and in a great town and a town we

232
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: know and love. So we're very excited to come back

233
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: up to New England and and uh, you know, play

234
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: some football. With regards to that last point that you made,

235
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: if I can quickly add, you're wearing your Celebrate Volunteerism

236
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: shirt from the BAM. I busted it out of my

237
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: head of a Patriots been that I now is going

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: to be back on the shelf. You spent a lot,

239
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: you'd have spent a lot of time here representing the

240
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: organization in the community. I'm wondering what it was like

241
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: last year, although you were a captain and you're starting

242
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Just how strange a year to go

243
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: to a team amid a pandemic? Was there a connectedness

244
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: for you? And do you welcome that coming back to

245
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: New England potentially looking ahead of course, you know, to

246
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: being back out there the way you work previously in

247
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: the community. Absolutely. I you know, so a lot of

248
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: people that I've you know, already connected with when we

249
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: did um you know, some other volunteer stuff too, and

250
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: we did a little bit down here in Fort Lauderdale.

251
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: But you know, being a pandemic and you know, we

252
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot of like Zoom appearances.

253
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: It was interesting. You know. I think that as the

254
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: world gets back to normal, well, we have a few

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: different UM like service routines we have down here, and

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: as the you know, the country opens up more, we'll

257
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: get more involved. But very much looking forward to coming

258
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: back and working with a lot of the same people

259
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: that I used to work with. Our next question, Max

260
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,800

263
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,920

264
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: you if, I guess, if you've ever connected with Cam Newton,

265
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: if you guys have any kind of relationship or you know,

266
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: anything like that. We have never met. I reached out

268
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: and we you know, we have yet to meet, and

269
