Speaker 1: Dale Lollly here with Matt Williamson. This is the Drive

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio. And Matt we've talked a little

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: bit about the fifth year option for the twenty nineteen

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: draft class and it's amazing that was five years ago,

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: almost five years Agoe. Yeah, and of course Dwayne Haskins

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: was part of that ironically, Um yeah, um. The Steelers

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: did bring him back. They picked up his option as

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: a restrictive free agent this year, uh and brought him

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: back that fifth year option. When he was released by Washington,

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: it was no longer in effect. So I got nullified, right.

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: Warren Sharp put out a chart on Twitter the other day.

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, Warren Sharp has his own website. Um, that's

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: a great work, and he's talking about the fifth year

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: option for the twenty nineteen class, and teams have until

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: May three to make a decision on that, whether to

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: pick it up, whether to not pick it up. So

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I thought we'd go over that, that that nineteen first

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: round draft class and talk about whether we would pick

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: the the option up on these guys or not. It's

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: a big deal because I want to preface just with

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: a couple of things, you know, like obviously quarterbacks is

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the most important, or an injured guy like a Jabo

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: coming out. You know, you'd really love to have the

38
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: option of having a fifth year option available to you,

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, especially if you happen to hit on the

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Lamar or and Alan or Mahomes. I mean, they become

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: a lot more cost controlled. It makes negotiations a little

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: bit better. Um, you know, but you know. That's a

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: big reason to me Philly made one of the trades too.

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Is having three of them all come up at the

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: same time. Isn't necessarily really expensive. Yeah, you'll see the

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: expensive You'll see that here as we go through these

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: these numbers. And this this changed, uh with the new

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: new CBA a couple of years ago. It is a

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: little different now. It's it's a little different now. These

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: are based the salaries are now based on performance, playtime,

51
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Where it used to be the

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: top ten picks, we're based on things of that nature,

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and then everybody after that was kind of slotted. Um.

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: So you've got some guys here that are that are

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: these decisions are going to be a little more difficult

56
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: than you might think because the numbers are huge. So

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: two things I want to throw him before we get

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: into the list. I think it's a good list too.

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Is I love that the deadline for this is after

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, for example, Steelers don't draft a linebacker,

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: there's a better chance they pick up Bush, you know,

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: or if they do draft one, Lloyd falls them and

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: they love them. Well the rings on the wall, you know,

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: so at least they have a major offseason resource to

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: get in the books before they make these decisions, and

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: there there's some consequences. Is to screw it up. You know,

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: go ask Carolina who at this time last year traded

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: for Donald Oh, we love him, he's gonna be great.

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna revive his career. We're gonna pick up a

70
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: fifth year option. And now they're on the hook for

71
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: twenty million or something this year with a quarterback they

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: can't play, you know. Yeah, Speaking of which, the number

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft was Kyler Murray because

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: he's made more than one Pro Bowl. His fifth year

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: option is twenty nine point seven million dollars. Yeah, when

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I saw that, a big number, and it's guaranteed, folks,

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean down, he could get hurt whatever the moment

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: is picked up. So if they wait till May third

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: to pick up that option, and they pick up, they will. Yeah,

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: he's automatically. Basically, what they're doing is also guaranteeing his

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: two salary right true, because it's when it's three salaries

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed, it's twenty nine point seven million dollars. If

83
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: you cut him, you still have him twenty nine point

84
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: seven millions doing right, he could be you know, washing

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: dishes or doing you know, your quarterback or whatever. He's

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: getting that money and to come out of your cap,

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: which made me initially think why was Kyler Murray given

88
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals the hard time a couple of months ago

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: and he's in a prime situation. It's almost like an

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: immediate franchise tag. I know players don't want that, they

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: want them my homes contract or whatever. But you're not

92
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Patty my homes and you're pretty much guaranteed to get

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: thirty million guaranteed next year. Well I think you you

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: look at it like, Okay, I'm gonna be guaranteed to

95
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: get almost thirty million next year. Let's let's negotiate now.

96
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: Well that's an interesting point too, is sometimes teams hate

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: the franchise tag because the agent comes to the table

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and says, well, we're starting at thirty million because that's

99
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: what I'm getting, right. That's why Washington Cousins couldn't really

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: come to a deal that, well, we'll franchise you, we'll

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: do it year to year. And I didn't you know,

102
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: even put two and two together we'd have this conversation.

103
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: But I read a blurb this morning that Baltimore is

104
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: considering that with Lamar. But hey, you know, you're representing yourself.

105
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: You're not the typical agent, You're not the typical quarterback

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: in times in terms of style of play. What if

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: we franchise you, franchise you again, hopefully your ankles and

108
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: speed are still the same where they were, you know, like,

109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: but that gets harry. You know, players don't love that.

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: It's not a great message the team. This is a

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: These aren't no brainers, No they aren't. But Kyler Murray

112
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: gets picked up. Yeah. Nick Bosa is the other one

113
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: who's been the multiple Pro Bowls. He was the second

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: overall pick, his number seven, team point nine million dollars. Wow,

115
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: and it's still an easy pick up. I mean, he's

116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the league, and he is,

117
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: but he gets nicked up a little. Those the Bosa

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: brothers have not been full time players. That's the same

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. I mean, these guys have to show

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: that they can stay on the field. Yeah. So there's

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of you know, Okay, you're gonna

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: do it, but you're gonna do it. But that's a

123
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: big number. The third overall pick in the fourth overall picker.

124
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: Are We're Quinnin Williams and Clellen Farrell and they both

125
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: get the same number because they're they're uh defensive lineman.

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Neither has made a Pro Bowl, neither has made the

127
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: playtime optioners because they missed some time. And in Farrell's case,

128
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: he's just he hasn't been a full time player, shouldn't

129
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: have been a fourth overall pick. The number on them

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: is eleven point five million dollars. Well, Farrell's unbelievably easy one.

131
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: That's yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna be on the market.

132
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the market. I'm not picking on

133
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Mayok and Gruden after they're gone, but we saw this

134
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: coming this second they turned the card in, you know,

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: like this was an odd pick to begin with. I

136
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: think Williams is a star in the making that's in

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of a bad situation. I don't think he's much

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: different than Simmons in Tennessee or a couple of these

139
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: other young defensive tackles, but he just isn't a household

140
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: name because he gets doubled every play and nobody pays

141
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: attention and they're never playing with the lead. Yeah, um,

142
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: if five, Devin White hit the playtime bonuses, so he's

143
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: eleven points seven million dollars. I mean, I assume that's

144
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: a yes. But Tampa is old with a lot of

145
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: big contracts, and they're gonna add another one in White,

146
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: who I'm sure they're not gonna let go. I mean,

147
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: maybe they'll try to work on extension so that the capits.

148
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: That's their option, as you can start talking extension with

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: these guys too, so that the cap it doesn't kill

150
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: you next year. I would imagine Tampa's salary cap next

151
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: year is a disaster. Yeah. Well, I mean, you never

152
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen with Brady and things of that nature.

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, he brought it back of the same group, right,

154
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at six, his his play his he hit

155
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: the playtime. It's twenty three two point four million dollars. Basically,

156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: they can't do they think you can't. I guess it's

157
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: a wonderful problem to have if um, Dave All comes

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: in there and resurrects his career and but they won't

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: know until they won't know, and you know before but

160
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: you don't want is the Donald situation, and that easily

161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: could turn into the Donald situation. UM, yeah, I don't

162
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: see how they can pick that up. Yeah, I think no,

163
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: it's seven. Josh Allen from the Jaguars did not hit

164
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: his playtime bonuses. He's eleven point five million dollars. I

165
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: would imagine they pick it up. I mean, Jacksonville is

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: so strange that they just keep over paying and they

167
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: don't mind spending money, I guess is the way it goes.

168
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Because they've been so bad at drafting and this is

169
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: one that wasn't the miss for them. I would imagine

170
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: you bring him back, you know, maybe you pair them

171
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: with a Hutchinson or something like that. Um. Eight T J.

172
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: Hawkinson has made a Pro Bowl. Uh, he's nine point

173
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: four million dollars as a tight end. Yeah, but like

174
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: a Zoma and those guys are making tennis nowadays. It's

175
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: a relative bargain. But yeah, I mean, you know that's

176
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they can allow young talent that they've

177
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: developed to leave either. Probably the plan, you know what

178
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean. John new Smith and Hunter Henry signed for

179
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: more than that a year ago. He's been on all

180
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: those dudes. Um, and he's one of only five guys

181
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: in draft class. We've made a Pro Bowl which is

182
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: actually pretty Pro Bowls one and a real high bar

183
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: to get over. No, it's it's it's Murray, Murray, Bosa Hawkinson,

184
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: Brian Burns made one, and Josh Jacobs has made one.

185
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, right. Yeah? So, uh, Ed Oliver

186
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: was the ninth overall pick in that draft. His bony

187
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: or his fifth year option, is ten point seven five million.

188
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: He hit the playtime. I don't think you do it.

189
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta make that decision in a couple

190
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: of weeks here. I mean they've drafted lineman after lineman there. Yeah,

191
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean some of them are edged to. I mean,

192
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: but paying Von Miller a ridiculous contract to Oliver hasn't

193
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: quite lived up to it, you know. I mean he's

194
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: an odd player. He's only like two hundred seventy five

195
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: two hund eighty pounds um. But he hasn't been disruptive

196
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: enough for me to pick that up right now. Yeah,

197
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna skip over the tenth pick, which was Devin Bush,

198
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: and move on to Jonah Williams with the angles at

199
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: at eleven twelve point six million dollars for Jonah Williams,

200
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: he has not hit the playtime bonuses, he's never made

201
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. Twelve point six million dollars. I think

202
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: it's a some probably a little bit more difficult conversation

203
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: than most would assume. You just do it. But I

204
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: think you do it. You know, I mean, he's been

205
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: burrows best lineman. He's not a superstar, but could you

206
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: just let him go and go sign next year's start

207
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: on Armstead instead? You know, I mean they have money

208
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: that they do and uh, the problem here's the problem

209
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: with this. Now, when you do this with Jonah Williams, Now,

210
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: any contract that you signed him to in the future,

211
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna want more than twelve point six sillion dollars.

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: It gets real slippery or real quick, right, you know.

213
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. Rashawn Gary was the twelfth pick by

214
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: the Packers. His fift year of option is ten point

215
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: nine million dollars. He hasn't hit any of the playtime

216
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: or Pro Bowl. He really stepped up last year. And

217
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: I know you and I weren't real fond of him

218
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: coming out of Michigan, you know, five star recruit that

219
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of was that oh Way guy that didn't have

220
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: much production. But you just move on from Zadarius. I

221
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: would imagine you pick it up after what you saw

222
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: from him last year. But man, they're another one that's

223
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: they don't have much to spend either. Yeah, that's not

224
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be sticky for him. It is no doubt.

225
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Christian Walkins with the Dolphins. I don't know what to

226
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: think on that one. He hit. He hit the playtime number,

227
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: so he's at ten point seven five. He's a good player,

228
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: like he was worth that pick. But is that a

229
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: no brain or slam dunk pick it up by leaned

230
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: towards They probably do. But I might want to talk

231
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: to him this week and see if I can extend

232
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: him or something. And you know, I don't think you

233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: want to lose them, but I don't love but I

234
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: don't think you would to pay him ten point seven

235
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: five million. Much the same way this. The next player

236
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: was Chris Lindstrom with the Falcons. Who's a guard thirteen

237
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: point two million dollars. I think that's a no. I

238
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: do too. He hasn't been horrible, but they're totally rebuilding.

239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: You can find a guard. I mean, they can draft

240
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: a guard in the second round. I mean that would

241
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: make him one of the highest pig that would make

242
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: him one of the highest paid guards in the league.

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not in that stratosphere, nor is he

244
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: trending that way. I think I would say, no, sorry,

245
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: but we might want to kind of like Edmonds, but

246
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: but we might talk to you after the season. We

247
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: still like it. You know, Yeah, this this, this is

248
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: the situation the Steelers were in with Terrell Edmonds this

249
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: year exactly exactly. Um yeah, when you lay it out

250
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: like this, I think people should realize, you know, that

251
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: was probably the right choice for that. Yeah, it's sixty.

252
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: It was Brian Burns. He's made a Pro Bowl, but

253
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: his number sixteen million dollars. I think he's so worth

254
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: it though, I mean he would be players he is

255
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: he is, he like one of the top I don't

256
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: even know what the number is on that sixteen million

257
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: probably puts him in the top fifteen edge rushers. I

258
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: think he's in that neighborhood. Okay, I mean I prefer

259
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: Bosa on this list, but I think he's an up

260
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: and coming star. It doesn't get enough credit. Again, they're

261
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: not winning very much and they're a bad team, but

262
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: I think Burns is were very worth it. Life and

263

275
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: a little tough too. Extra lawrence by the giants. This

276
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: is why the giants are you know again, you don't

277
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: want to have multiple first round draft picks. Yeah, de

278
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: extra lawrence comes in at ten point seven five million,

279
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: So you would have Daniel Jones at twenty two point

280
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: three or twenty two point four in dexter Lawrence at

281
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: ten point seven five. You can't do them both. You're

282
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: not giving them thirty two collectively. No, I'm even leading

283
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: towards Lawrence for showings from back and he's a good player.

284
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: But he's a certain type of player too. I mean,

285
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: you can live without him. It's almost a Christian Wilkins. Yeah, yeah,

286
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: there's similar players like Okay, yeah, I could see a

287
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: case for both sides on that. Uh, the same thing

288
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: with Garrett Bradbury. You know I mocked a center. I

289
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: mocked Lyndstrom to the Vikings. Yeah, to the Vikings, And

290
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: this is why he's been terrible. Yeah, fifth year option.

291
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: It's thirteen point two million dollars as a center. You

292
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: can't pick that up. Maybe they should have kept cold tomorrow.

293
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: I think about at least signed him to a two

294
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: year deal and at least have a backup now he's

295
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: been bad. It's funny you mentioned Lindstrom, because really there

296
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: per any similar prospects coming out of school. They both

297
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: were a little undersize, great movers, really good college tape.

298
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: But they put a big body on him and he

299
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: goes backwards. Yeah. I don't think you could pick that up. Yeah, no,

300
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: you can't. That would make him one of the highest

301
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: paid centers in the league. And he's a borderline starter

302
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah. Jeffrey Simmons at nineteen that's a you

303
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: gotta pick that up ten point seven five million. You

304
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: probably want to extend him long term. I know there's

305
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: somewhat different positions, but they got a lot of money

306
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: invested in Landry and Bud too, you know. Oh yeah,

307
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: they're everything line is pricey. Yeah, but he's an easy one.

308
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Next one is weird. Yeah,

309
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty he's now with the Seahawks. This was the original

310
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: pick that the Steelers had at twenty. It's no offense,

311
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: but it's six eight five million because he hasn't made

312
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. This is you know, if you look

313
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: at the safety position, in the tight end position, the

314
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: fifth year option on those guys isn't outrageous. No, it's

315
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: not compared to what even running Smith signing for running

316
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: back isn't outrageous compared to the others. Right. Why I

317
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: said fans interesting though, is because I have no idea

318
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: where they're at as a team. I think they're totally rebuilding.

319
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: I think they might disagree with me, which I think

320
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: it's insane. But they've never worked with this guy. I mean,

321
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: he's been a Seahawk for two minutes, but you traded

322
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: for him, so you basically you have to pick up

323
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: his option. I would imagine that doesn't say next. And

324
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: then the other thing that even complicates it more, which

325
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: might be the worst contract signed in all the free agency.

326
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: They gave will dis Lee a lot of money and

327
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't even like catch passes, you know, so you're

328
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: not like twenty million in your tight end room and

329
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: have the fifteen best tight end room. Yeah, it's kind

330
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: of very much like what the Browns did last year,

331
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: and really that's what the Patriots are at now too.

332
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't get that much out of Henry

333
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: and Smith and there has to be the most expensive

334
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: tight end room in the league. Yeah, it's nuts. At

335
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty one. Darnell Savage is seven point nine million dollars.

336
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: That's a steal. But you're also gotta do but they

337
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: have hymn Gary, right, but I think they're both. Yes,

338
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: but this is an easy that's a lot of money though,

339
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: I mean it's twenty million dollars basically for you know,

340
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: your eighteen nineteen million dollars for two two good young players.

341
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: But then you got assign them to a long term

342
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: contract at some point. Yeah, yeah, I mean there's tons

343
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: of hindsight here. But if the Steelers don't make the

344
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: Bush steal, you and I tend to think that Savage

345
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: probably would have been I've been told that. I've been

346
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: told they would have taken a Savage. Yeah, and but

347
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: then they don't make a deal. Then you know, Yeah,

348
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: there's a butterfly effect to no end. But you would

349
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: pick this up in heartbeat. I would think, yeah, he's

350
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: good football player. Uh, it's twenty two. The Eagles have

351
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: Andre Dillard at a twelve point six million dollars. They

352
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: can't pick that up, no chance, no chance. I mean

353
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: I heard this comparisonage I thought was really interesting applying

354
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: to this year's tackle class. He's a lot like Charles

355
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: Cross where never put his hand in the dirt, pass protection,

356
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: pass protection all day long in college, never run blocked.

357
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: And they're a running team, you know. And they happened

358
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: to look into Mulatta in the same draft in the

359
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: seventh round. Who's one of the steels of all time.

360
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder there's gotta be some offensive line

361
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: needy teams that would give them a fifth round pick

362
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: for Dillard. Yeah, no, it did not. Tightest Howard by

363
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the Texans is thirteen point two million dollars. That's probably

364
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: a no. He's been a guard a lot. I'm not

365
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: sure where he'll play this year, guard or tackle. He's okay.

366
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: I remember even when they made that pick, we went, boy,

367
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: that's a reach that there was a reach. I mean

368
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: he's he's again been okay. He's played more than Andre Dillard.

369
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but because Phillies lines a lot better than

370
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: twenty four Josh Jacobs is eight million dollars. Would you

371
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: do that one? I don't know, I don't. I don't

372
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: know that I would. He's been hurt a lot, he

373
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: runs like his hair's on fire, and his unbelievably tough.

374
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels has this history, assuming it's a Patriot system

375
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: of two backs, and they don't throw to him, at

376
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: least Gruden didn't. But he's a good football player, you know.

377
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been a bust, I mean a

378
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: good four years. But eight million dollars is all right.

379
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: You got to sign car to a new deal, and

380
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: Drake makes a lot of money, which shouldn't be you know,

381
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: you just signed Adams, which is a massive deal to Yeah,

382
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: you're right, Cars gonna make forty here any minute, you

383
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: probably move on draft another one. M hm uh. Marquis

384
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Brown with the Ravens is thirteen point four million dollars.

385
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: That's a tough one for me too. I think probably no.

386
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Do you trust him to stay healthy? I mean that's

387
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: a Ravens question on a Matt and Dale question. Um,

388
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: and you look around the league, I mean, what did

389
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: like Valdes Scantling sign for or it was ready, it

390
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: was right around that. Juju was less than that, and

391
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: Juju was less I was thinking about this. Scantling was

392
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: very similar, Like I'd rather have Brown but for a

393
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: few million dollars more and it's fully guaranteed. And you

394
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: just drafted Bateman, who I still think has a really

395
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: bright future. I'm a different South place. You've got you know,

396
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Diverne and some other guys on the roster that you

397
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: drafted it and you know they were later round guys,

398
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: but you still got them at your roster. Like that's

399
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: a tough that's a tough choice. That's a tough decision

400
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: that might be and you're running team, and you're running

401
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: team right, he has a block of soul. I mean

402
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: he's as big as my right leg, you know, so

403
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if you look at the Ravens draft picks,

404
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: they have like four or five fourth round picks, like

405
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: they have a lot of draft capital as usual with

406
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: the comp picks. Maybe they just draft a burner, you know,

407
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: one of these guys we like that's under sized and

408
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: just don't pick up the option. You use a third

409
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: round pick and a guy that runs a four three.

410
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: Couple of them out there, Yeah, there's more than a

411
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: couple of Yeah, right, it's a good class for Montes

412
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: Sweat from Washington. Ten point nine million dollars. I assume

413
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: that's a yes. I think you pick that up. Yeah,

414
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. Yeah, they're d lines are

415
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: gonna be expensive. You knew that coming in. You use

416
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: first round pick after first round pick on it. Hopefully

417
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: you've prepared for this day. Jase Young's gonna be expensive

418
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: one of these days too. But you better have one

419
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: of the best Sea Lions in the league. And they

420
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't last year, but they still could. Yeah, Jonathan Abram.

421
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: But the Raiders and the Raiders another pick their seven

422
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: point nine million dollars for Jonathan Abram, who's been by

423
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: the rest of this the rest of the first round

424
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: is pretty bad. Yeah, I don't think any of these

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: guys get picked up. It's Jerry terrible, Jerry Tillery, LJ

426
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: call your Caleb McGarry, um and the kill Harry's got

427
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: ni kill Harry. Just Yeah, these these guys are just

428
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if more than half of the

429
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: first round class from twenty nineteen doesn't get picked up.

430
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: There's gotta be a least a dozen knows, I mean,

431
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: probably more. I don't think McGary gets picked up. But

432
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: he's the only one in these last five that even

433
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: has a case. Yeah, I mean he's a young tackle

434
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: on a team that needs everything. Do we want to

435
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: add another need to the list of terrible things we need?

436
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: But his third team point two million dollars start point

437
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: two million? Right, Well you get that if he hasn't

438
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: okay year. Will he get that on the open markets?

439
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: Probably not? I mean he probably people were complaining about

440
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: choos getting you know that. Plus, like that's kind of

441
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: the going rate for a starting tackle. The salary cap

442
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: is gonna go up to about two hundred and sixty million.

443
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's gonna go up like fifteen million

444
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: dollars a year every year after this, So you have

445
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 1: to factor that in as well, and the Steelers will

446
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: do that with Devon Busch. We skipped over Devon Busch

447
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: his his ten point eight eight nine million. Um. I've

448
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: been told, you know, they're leaning towards not picking that up.

449
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: I could see that. I think that's broy the right choice,

450
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: and you and you make him, you know, you play

451
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: this out like he did with Edmonds, right, I mean

452
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: like even if Bush comes back healthy, you know, Flores

453
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: takes him under his wing and he has a really

454
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: good year, He's not going to be eighteen million dollar

455
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: a year linebacker. You know, right, you may have lost

456
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: that equation. But but if you did, you got a

457
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: great season out of a good player, you know. I mean,

458
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: so in a way, it's kind of a win win

459
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and Jackson the equation potential draft pick. I kind of

460
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: lean more and more that they weren't taken off the

461
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: ball linebacker high. But Jack has the issues and he

462
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: could be gone after the year two. I mean we

463
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: talked about this. I think Friday, you might have none

464
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: a year from now, Bush and Jack could easily be elsewhere.

465
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: It might be Buddy Johnson, um right, right, right, Things

466
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: in that nature and then you have to draft one

467
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: next year. And they just seen a little bit of money, right,

468
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: they picked up he gave him picked up his option basically,

469
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: which is a big money. But yeah, so yeah, I

470
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: mean it's it's interesting. So I think I think fans

471
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: get caught up. Well, they didn't pick up his fift

472
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: year options, they must not like him. I think when

473
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: you looking at these numbers that are out there, you know,

474
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if there's eighteen to twenty guys

475
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: out of this draft class that don't get their options

476
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: picked up just because the numbers, the numbers so expensive.

477
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: What these are basically are the restrict are the are

478
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: the the uh franchise tag numbers if you made if

479
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: you've made two Pro Bowls, right, that's very similar to

480
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: the franchise tag. And then you're and beyond that, then

481
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: you're getting the the um what's the other tag, transition

482
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: the transition tag. Yeah, Like these are big numbers. These

483
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: are like top ten average of the top ten salaries

484
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: at your position. And I promise you there will be

485
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: some mistakes, you know, like there will be two of

486
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: these guys that they don't pick up that they had

487
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: big years that the team's probably said, damn, we should

488
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: have picked that up. But at least they got a

489
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: really good year out of the player, you know, And

490
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: then there's definitely be two of them where, you know,

491
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: if the Giants pick up Daniel Jones and it's a

492
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 1: Donald situation or whatever, or I hate to say it,

493
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: but he's an easy yes. But Kyler Murray is not

494
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: as easy of a yes to me as you might think.

495
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: You know, thirty million. He's so small and he never

496
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: holds up after you know, when the going gets tough

497
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: late in the year. If he has another year like that,

498
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: you're kind of married to him, and maybe he costs

499
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: Kingsbury his job, whether that's deserved or not. Like there's

500
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: just a lot of room for error. There's all I'm sayings.

501
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: It's not a cheap investment. No, absolutely not. Um so

502
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: that that's that's the thing. That number is huge. Is

503
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: he a top ten quarterback? I mean, he certainly can be,

504
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: but is he right this minute? I don't know. Yeah,

505
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 1: I don't know either. I don't I don't know if

506
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: the Cardinals know. I guess of the problem that they

507
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: have right now, but I wish they had. I'm sure

508
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: they wish they had more answers at the stage of

509
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, oh, no doubt. You know, if you

510
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: think four years is a lot until you have to

511
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: make that decision after three years, yeah, right, it comes

512
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: really quick. Yeah. And for a guy like Devin Bushy

513
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: missed a year, right, but may soon Jordan's love is

514
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: going to be up and he may not even have

515
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: played a snap. Yeah, I mean, of course you have

516
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: to find it. But he's the first round pick of

517
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: the year after this. Yeah, it's very difficult, especially if

518
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: there's one year of injury involved or yeah, I mean,

519
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: which is often the case. It's hard, absolutely, but that

520
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: that's uh, that that list there for the first round

521
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: draft class. He is Matt Williams and I'm Dale Lally.
