Speaker 7: So, how you guys doing good?
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the first time in a long time walking
Speaker 4: to the studio.
Speaker 3: There's some action now.
Speaker 7: On the football fields.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some guys out there running.
Speaker 9: Around one is going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what what is phase one? What does that even mean?
Speaker 2: These days?
Speaker 10: They can work out on the field with these what
Speaker 10: do voluntary mean? Voluntary workouts on the field with the
Speaker 10: strength and conditioning coaches. They can have meetings I guess
Speaker 10: with the coaches, but the coaches can't be on the
Speaker 10: field actually instructing them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so all right, good attendance.
Speaker 7: So yeah, largely.
Speaker 3: Who's not here?
Speaker 10: Citie Lamb and Micah Parker were the two notable names,
Speaker 10: which is not a surprise, not.
Speaker 3: A surprise, But Jesse, how big of a deal is that?
Speaker 3: And it seems like it's not. You're not gonna make
Speaker 3: a big deal out of this.
Speaker 4: I mean, we know how you like to no trash
Speaker 4: a couple of one of these guys, one.
Speaker 3: Of these two guys. You're not gonna take You're not
Speaker 3: gonna take a shot. No, No, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 7: So your guy's taking a shot.
Speaker 5: He got punched in the ribs the other day in
Speaker 5: the solo play to Micah by a boxer.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they were doing hit for hit. Who quit first?
Speaker 3: Who quit?
Speaker 9: Who was not a boxer?
Speaker 3: Who is the boxer.
Speaker 7: I didn't even see it was like a small like featherweight.
Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, I'll pull it up and he he
Speaker 4: he stopped him.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's the thing that sometimes we and this is this
Speaker 5: is an athlete's flaw.
Speaker 7: This is an athlete that alpha male. We think that
Speaker 7: we can jump in any arena.
Speaker 5: And the best and be the best, and we sometimes succeed.
Speaker 5: Sometimes we gotta just stand there myself, like we gotta
Speaker 5: just just relax a little bit and and uh and
Speaker 5: not go so so overboard. But this this boxer was
Speaker 5: a was small like no offense, but he was like
Speaker 5: your size.
Speaker 3: I don't no offense taken. Oh wow he is little. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's littler than me.
Speaker 5: Oh and they know what like boxers know where to
Speaker 5: punch right, and when you watch the video clip if
Speaker 5: you watch it now, yeah, if you watch the video clip,
Speaker 5: you just and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, their conditioned, like they know right.
Speaker 7: And yes, like they know where to punch you at
Speaker 7: to drop you.
Speaker 5: Like you see MICA's punch is off to the side
Speaker 5: and he's like, okay, I'll take that punch. They know
Speaker 5: exactly where to punch you at to drop you. So
Speaker 5: but I don't know if I want my star player
Speaker 5: in the boxing boxer by.
Speaker 7: The way with A. J.
Speaker 5: Graham, Okay, yeah, I just don't know if I want
Speaker 5: him in the gym doing that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, the internal injuries, I don't want that.
Speaker 7: I don't want that.
Speaker 5: I don't mind the training, I don't mind the camaraderie.
Speaker 7: I don't mind having fun. I don't know if I
Speaker 7: want punch for punch.
Speaker 9: You know, so you don't think, but you don't think.
Speaker 10: There's especially in the case and I know he's bandwagging
Speaker 10: on Micaehs sometimes, but just in his case where one
Speaker 10: he's supposed to be a leader of this team, he's
Speaker 10: not here, and two you have a new defensive coordinator
Speaker 10: and you're not in meetings.
Speaker 9: Is that still no.
Speaker 7: No no no no no no no no. I voluntary
Speaker 7: means just that and Micah.
Speaker 5: If for anything about Micah, he's gonna he's not gonna
Speaker 5: come in.
Speaker 7: Out of shape. He's not gonna come in out of shape.
Speaker 5: He's not gonna come in and be dragging, you know,
Speaker 5: dragging A He's gonna he's gonna be in shape. But
Speaker 5: it voluntary, It's exactly what it sounds like. And of
Speaker 5: course would you love one hundred attendance, Yes, but you're
Speaker 5: never like you're not gonna get it.
Speaker 7: You're just not gonna get it all the time.
Speaker 5: And I don't think this phase right now is the
Speaker 5: most important phase. I think the meanings are cool, and
Speaker 5: we live in a day and time now.
Speaker 7: I mean, just a.
Speaker 5: Few short years ago we did everything virtually. We did
Speaker 5: everything virtually. So maybe he's not here in person. I'm
Speaker 5: sure there's some sort of stream set up can sit
Speaker 5: in and watch the meetings.
Speaker 7: I'm sure that he can.
Speaker 5: He can face time or zoom or whatever with Mike
Speaker 5: Zimmer and other guy. So I'll cut both of those
Speaker 5: guys some slacking and cut them some bail and say
Speaker 5: this isn't the part of the progress where I need
Speaker 5: you here.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Because the conditioning part, it's great, the team camaraderie part
Speaker 5: is great, and I'm for all of that, But these
Speaker 5: are two guys who we've never had to worry about
Speaker 5: when it came to the part of being in shape,
Speaker 5: being conditioned, being in that space health wise. Now, Michael
Speaker 5: Parsons problem is that he's wore down, and that's not
Speaker 5: due to condition, that's just due to a smaller guy
Speaker 5: playing in a playing a position that.
Speaker 9: You're gonna say, a smaller guy punching him in the gut.
Speaker 5: Oh no, it's a smaller guy playing a position that
Speaker 5: just wears down. It wears you down, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. But these never have a problem conditioning. And again, offensively,
Speaker 5: CD's straight, he's been in the same offense, he knows
Speaker 5: the plays. He's gonna be ready to go. Defensively, yes,
Speaker 5: Mike Zimmer is here. They may have a new defensive
Speaker 5: scheme and all that kind of stuff, but I can
Speaker 5: sit on the meetings. I can zoom in. I can
Speaker 5: zoom in.
Speaker 4: So the coaches aren't like, man, these guys aren't showing up.
Speaker 3: I mean a little perturbed.
Speaker 5: You have some old school and Zim might be an
Speaker 5: old school spirited dude, right, he may have that spirit
Speaker 5: of the old school of I would love to have
Speaker 5: these guys in the building, hands on and be able
Speaker 5: to kind of just see him face to face.
Speaker 7: But that's not today's football.
Speaker 5: And if you're living in the nineteen nineties in the
Speaker 5: early two thousands, then you're gonna have a problem because
Speaker 5: that's just not today's brand of football. Today's brand of
Speaker 5: football is more tech savvy. You got the GPS trackers,
Speaker 5: you got the iPads, you got all those type of things.
Speaker 5: Now that when Zim was in his prime, they didn't
Speaker 5: do it was you came into the building. You you
Speaker 5: carried around the portfolio size playbook.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: Now everything is you can literally I can literally in
Speaker 5: the middle of my workout, stop, hit a button and
Speaker 5: be plugged into what they're doing here, seeing all the
Speaker 5: virtual things that they're doing here.
Speaker 7: Get the information here, hit end, get back to my workout.
Speaker 4: You don't know how create you brought that up. How
Speaker 4: fast technology has advanced. I remember having a conversation with
Speaker 4: Dak when I think it was it was either Ota,
Speaker 4: I think it was OTA's when he first got here
Speaker 4: because he's from Louisiana, you know, fourth round draft pick.
Speaker 4: Nobody was talking to him in the locker room because
Speaker 4: he was going to be another Stephen McGee that got
Speaker 4: drafted and did whatever and was gone right.
Speaker 7: And I walked over my boy, Stephen McGee. I love
Speaker 7: Steve check down check down McGee, that's what we called him.
Speaker 4: But I walked over to him and I was just,
Speaker 4: you know, open lit room, and nobody was over there,
Speaker 4: and I was over and now you have to schedule
Speaker 4: time to once a year to be.
Speaker 3: Able to talk to him.
Speaker 4: When I was just you know, shooting shooting breeze with
Speaker 4: him being from North Louisiana, and I was like, what's
Speaker 4: the biggest you know, what's the biggest difference between He goes, dude,
Speaker 4: the playbook.
Speaker 3: He was like, the playbook is like this is.
Speaker 7: Going to say indoor plumbing.
Speaker 3: Maybe no, out house. It was a good one. Actually,
Speaker 3: the trailer parks are much nicer all double wise.
Speaker 4: But he was like the playbook and he was like,
Speaker 4: it's like this thick and just thinking that, just thinking
Speaker 4: that there were actually playbooks when Dak was drafted, because
Speaker 4: everything's been virtual for so long and they've they've had
Speaker 4: pads for years. He's been in the league that long.
Speaker 4: Like we think that, like you think about it, it's like,
Speaker 4: oh dad, yeah, but he's been here a long time. Man, playbooks.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. There there are guys on this team that
Speaker 4: had iPads in high school.
Speaker 3: Probably yeah, most of them, yeah, almost all of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the only one that probably like you're you're really
Speaker 5: like your zach zachs and the tanks. Yeah, maybe, well
Speaker 5: Hank's not hear anymore, but like, yeah, those.
Speaker 4: Two guys tiring, but he's yeah, yeah that so Dak,
Speaker 4: Tank and Zach all those guys. Those are probably the
Speaker 4: only guys that actually have physical playbooks.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, is that.
Speaker 3: Crazy how fast things have changed?
Speaker 9: So talking about can I ask one more?
Speaker 3: Yeah, questions, you're out of questions.
Speaker 10: It's well, it's related just to the workouts we're talking about.
Speaker 10: So these players that and I'm just curious, do they
Speaker 10: because you know, if they get injured when they're in
Speaker 10: Austin working out, that's they're go on the non football
Speaker 10: list and they don't get paid and whatever. Do they
Speaker 10: take out insurance on that type of thing? Are these
Speaker 10: guys making so much money they don't really care?
Speaker 5: Well this answer, I mean, most if you're that guy,
Speaker 5: most guys have insurance for themselves, right, because you have
Speaker 5: to protect But even that part of it, like it's
Speaker 5: difficult to get an insurance claim, like you got to
Speaker 5: be damn near dead.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like you have to have like a leg.
Speaker 5: That's like literally hanging off to get one of those
Speaker 5: insurance claims to kind of really pay itself for. But
Speaker 5: most of those guys, you know, and then, but in
Speaker 5: every contract, in every contract there is like there's for
Speaker 5: every contract we see, there's this hidden contract and I
Speaker 5: sense they hidden, but just non disclosed contract that nobody
Speaker 5: really talks about.
Speaker 7: There is an injury contract.
Speaker 5: So when guys get lost for the season and stuff
Speaker 5: like that, there is a portion of that. Now, teams
Speaker 5: have insurance policies so that when a guy get lost
Speaker 5: for the year, they kind of recoup some of that
Speaker 5: money that they have to pay. But the player itself,
Speaker 5: they don't get that. Whatever that base salary that's cut
Speaker 5: in half because of injury. But you know, most of
Speaker 5: the guys aren't thinking about that, you know, you know,
Speaker 5: because for the most part, you don't really hear about it.
Speaker 5: Doesn't It doesn't happen often or every once in the blue.
Speaker 5: And another reason why I'm okay with guys going other
Speaker 5: places to train and this is no shot at Harold Nash.
Speaker 7: I've known Harold Nash.
Speaker 5: Since when I was in New England back in two
Speaker 5: thousand and twelve ish Harold Nash was there. He was
Speaker 5: an assistant serve the condition to coach there and so
Speaker 5: I've known Harold Nash.
Speaker 9: Head guy here.
Speaker 5: Yes, he's the hair guy here now. But I knew
Speaker 5: Harold Nash back in New England, so I've known. I've
Speaker 5: known Harold Nash for a long time talking about technology
Speaker 5: and how we move things forward. A lot of these guys,
Speaker 5: if you go to you know, D one or APEX
Speaker 5: or whatever Sanders fit. These programs are specifically built for
Speaker 5: Kurt Daniels, Shannon Gross.
Speaker 7: See Holly.
Speaker 5: Whereas the team's workouts, it's more of a mass production
Speaker 5: offensive lineman.
Speaker 7: Here's what we're doing. Running backs, here's what we're doing, Receivers,
Speaker 7: here's what we're doing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5: Whereas when I go to I don't want to keep
Speaker 5: giving people free plub. But when I go to this
Speaker 5: said specific trainer, I'm getting the Micah Parson's plan.
Speaker 3: I need to work on my explosion I need.
Speaker 5: When I go to said trainer or facility, I'm getting
Speaker 5: the CD LAMB.
Speaker 7: Exclusive plan.
Speaker 5: The things that I feel that we set down and
Speaker 5: maybe watch some film that you know what, Hey, I
Speaker 5: need to get better here and now, those things are
Speaker 5: specifically targeted to get that or get this, or to
Speaker 5: build this or to lose that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: whereas the team because Harold's not making seven. The different
Speaker 5: individualized plans. Now every player may have, Hey you lose.
Speaker 7: A couple of pounds, Hey you need to be in
Speaker 7: a couple of pounds.
Speaker 5: Hey you know you got a shoulder, so we can't
Speaker 5: you know, it's modified. But it's not like they're doing
Speaker 5: a Dak presscott because.
Speaker 7: You just don't have the bodies.
Speaker 5: I don't have the bodies to be saying, Okay, you're
Speaker 5: you're specifically with Dak, you're specifically with Trey Lance, you're
Speaker 5: specifically with Cooper Rush. No, it's like, hey, quarterbacks, here's
Speaker 5: what we're doing. Now, we'll modify it according to what
Speaker 5: you may This nail meant if there's things that you
Speaker 5: kind of don't want to, you know, build up or
Speaker 5: you don't want to lose. But the specifics of it
Speaker 5: different when you get a chance to go to these
Speaker 5: other training facilities and so. But that's a part of
Speaker 5: where we're at now in the national football in the sports,
Speaker 5: and that's that's not even that's that's young kids. That
Speaker 5: is the position specific training that you see more so
Speaker 5: now than you've ever seen before. Nate Newton didn't have
Speaker 5: position specific training.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I know he went to the fat farm to lose
Speaker 5: the weight, but you know, Michael IRV didn't have a
Speaker 5: lot of you know, the specialized training that they do
Speaker 5: now it is almost it is almost today in sports.
Speaker 5: If you get to middle school and you're not doing
Speaker 5: one on one training, you're behind. Oh yeah, like it
Speaker 5: is the it's the I don't care what sport it is, volleyball, baseball, basketball, wrestling.
Speaker 5: If you're if you're in middle school and your parents
Speaker 5: haven't found a certain way to kind of get the
Speaker 5: money together to get you one on one training a
Speaker 5: couple times a week, individualized training, you're behind.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we heard that when somen is coming up an
Speaker 10: even before middle school probably like if you're not doing
Speaker 10: this this, you won't play varsity.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just insane and.
Speaker 7: It costs a grip really.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it's aid money money trip for sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Kids to be a musician.
Speaker 5: I mean when I was doing when I was doing
Speaker 5: position specific training, and I've had some some notable guys
Speaker 5: that I've worked with, Like I was seventy five to
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars an hour.
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, how many hours is a session hour
Speaker 3: two hours?
Speaker 7: How many hours of the session? Seventy five hour?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Like, but how many if you go for you go
Speaker 3: for like two hours?
Speaker 7: Just one?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 7: One? One hour? Yeah yeah. I thought it was like, wait,
Speaker 7: you're doing off.
Speaker 4: I thought I was doing that Louisiana, MA, wait now
Speaker 4: how much?
Speaker 3: But how much do you pay when you gore?
Speaker 7: You go for an hour? How many an hour?
Speaker 3: Seventy five an hour?

Speaker 4: And we are talking contracts and there's three big ones
Speaker 4: that have not been taken care of, and there's a
Speaker 4: lot of there's a lot of talk around. I guess
Speaker 4: media type folks that the Eagles as much as it
Speaker 4: pains me to say the Eagles are the U, I
Speaker 4: guess the uh.
Speaker 3: The I guess the There's been.
Speaker 5: A lot of it's been spicy between the content creators
Speaker 5: and the like media like this this offseason.
Speaker 7: It's a lot of.
Speaker 9: Going after each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been a lot of whether it's like newspaper
Speaker 5: radio and like the content creator.
Speaker 7: It's been a lot of spiciness.
Speaker 3: Give me an example.
Speaker 7: I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get messy and I.
Speaker 7: Need some messiness. You need to get on your twitters.
Speaker 3: We're talk in the break.
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of just everybody's kind of like
Speaker 5: on edge each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's everybody knows more than everybody else.
Speaker 7: That's it. Everybody has. That's it right there, That is
Speaker 7: the that is it. Their opinions better than I know
Speaker 7: more my opinions. You can't, I can't. It's been a
Speaker 7: lot of just yeah, yeah, it's been real, real, A.
Speaker 9: Lot of that's what sells.
Speaker 3: It's everybody's trying to grab the headlines.
Speaker 7: Combustible energy going on around here.
Speaker 4: Well, some of that combustible energy has been spit out
Speaker 4: in the form of the Eagles or or their front
Speaker 4: office is doing that's how you should run things. You
Speaker 4: should you should get out and one of these contracts,
Speaker 4: which I guess the Cowboys have done that in the past, right, Okay,
Speaker 4: let's let's talk about that. They have let three contracts
Speaker 4: either come up for expiration this year or long term.
Speaker 4: What you think would be your long term corner pieces
Speaker 4: are up for renewal either this year or next year.
Speaker 4: And you know, by letting them run their course. We
Speaker 4: all know salaries don't go down in the NFL every year,
Speaker 4: they go up at every position. So by not signing
Speaker 4: these guys a year or two ahead of their expiration date,
Speaker 4: the price is going up and you're.
Speaker 3: Not getting your bang for your buck.
Speaker 4: I guess the alternate to that could be you want
Speaker 4: to see and make sure this is the right decision
Speaker 4: before you sign guys to a long term deal. What
Speaker 4: is y'all's opinion on how this has all played out?
Speaker 4: Because you got CDs up for contract, right, Dack's up
Speaker 4: for contract.
Speaker 3: Mike is what next year?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, CD.
Speaker 10: I mean they could see he's going into his fifth season,
Speaker 10: so they could he's they picked up his fifth year options,
Speaker 10: so they could make him play on that. They could
Speaker 10: make him you know, they could put the franchise tag
Speaker 10: out on him after that. I mean, they could keep
Speaker 10: him around. But then you're pissing off the player and.
Speaker 7: For the next three years because you can franch out
Speaker 7: him twice.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So, but and you want to work with You want
Speaker 10: to get your own salary cap under controls. You want
Speaker 10: to spread that out and everything. So where the Eagles
Speaker 10: have been seeing you know, Davante's Davanta Devanta Smith, he
Speaker 10: was in his third coming off his third year, So
Speaker 10: they're they're getting a jump ahead of this earlyer and
Speaker 10: they've done that with a few players, whereas the Cowboys,
Speaker 10: I mean, you saw what they went through with Dak
Speaker 10: a few years ago. You know, they could have had
Speaker 10: him for twenty five million a year, and they pushed it,
Speaker 10: pushed it, pushed it, and they went up in you know,
Speaker 10: thirty five million, right or whatever.
Speaker 9: So it's kind of a different Was that the.
Speaker 5: First time they ever did the I think it was
Speaker 5: like the first one they ever had a quarterback franchise
Speaker 5: frenhiuse taging quarterback on a quarterback in Cowboys.
Speaker 9: History, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4: And from a fans point of view, if you look
Speaker 4: at it, you're like, Okay, are you re signing these guys?
Speaker 4: Are you letting their contracts run out and you're just
Speaker 4: cleaning house and starting over? Like what like why are
Speaker 4: you waiting? Like I guess that's the anxiety of a
Speaker 4: Cowboys fan is like You've got one of the best
Speaker 4: top five guy in the league on defense, right, probably
Speaker 4: a top five guy at wide receiver and then a
Speaker 4: top ten guy at quarterback.
Speaker 5: I would say, you got a top three guy on defense,
Speaker 5: a top three guy on offense, and a top ten
Speaker 5: guy at quarterback.
Speaker 4: And they're all up for contracts, right, and can you
Speaker 4: afford to resign all three of them?
Speaker 3: So, like what I guess the anxiety is, what the
Speaker 3: hell's going on?
Speaker 4: Like what are they thinking? Because no one knows what
Speaker 4: they're thinking. They said they were going all in, and
Speaker 4: of course that's been the headline the whole off season.
Speaker 4: That came up again this week right with Steven, But like,
Speaker 4: as a fan, what is happening? What are they thinking? Like,
Speaker 4: what do you guys think is going on upstairs? And
Speaker 4: what are they doing with these contracts? Are they trying
Speaker 4: to figure it out? Have they figured it out and
Speaker 4: they're just playing chess with people?
Speaker 3: Or or I mean what?
Speaker 9: So far it sounds like it's all amicable.
Speaker 10: I mean, they're they've had some discussions, but they're not
Speaker 10: getting into the weeds of it all yet. But you
Speaker 10: also got to remember, man, if some of this is
Speaker 10: on the players too, it's not just the Cowboys can't
Speaker 10: get it done. I mean if I'm cd Lamb and
Speaker 10: his agent and I've got Justin Jefferson sitting over there.
Speaker 10: Weren't a big contract too. I mean, it might be
Speaker 10: worth it to hold on to your cards for a
Speaker 10: little while before you jump into a big contract. I
Speaker 10: don't know, but it's it's frustrating for fans, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, player side, what's going on the players always there's
Speaker 4: two things that player always wants to kind of really
Speaker 4: pinpoint on.
Speaker 5: It's I want to get the guaranteed money, right, I
Speaker 5: want to get the I want to get the generational money,
Speaker 5: but I also want.
Speaker 7: To get back to the table again quick as possible.
Speaker 5: Right, So the years so when you when you get
Speaker 5: to that second contract that is your that is your
Speaker 5: generational wealth contract that.
Speaker 3: Make money as a player.
Speaker 5: That's that's where you can say I'm good, my kids
Speaker 5: are good, My kids kids are good. When you get
Speaker 5: to that big if you're a star player, you get
Speaker 5: to that big second contract. But these guys are also
Speaker 5: saying to themselves, yeah, I don't want this thing strung
Speaker 5: out five or six years where I have to play.
Speaker 5: Because their agents and they know that the money only
Speaker 5: grows the football, It only grows so in two or
Speaker 5: three years my contract is gonna be If I continue
Speaker 5: at the pace that I'm playing at, I'm gonna outplay
Speaker 5: these numbers, right, And so I don't want to be
Speaker 5: stuck in a contract five years from now.
Speaker 7: And the market has jumped significantly.
Speaker 9: Now the fifteenth highest player correct whatever.
Speaker 7: At twenty nine to thirty million dollars.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So these of saying, yes, I want to get
Speaker 5: the generational money I want. I want to get that
Speaker 5: guaranteed money in because this game is not for long,
Speaker 5: even if you have a ten year career, it's still
Speaker 5: not for long. But I also want to get back
Speaker 5: to the table as quick as possible because I want
Speaker 5: to re up. I want to be able to say that,
Speaker 5: you know what, I got fifty million dollars in these
Speaker 5: first three years, and I'm going to get another fifty
Speaker 5: million dollars. And so those are the two lines that
Speaker 5: players and agents and front office have to be able
Speaker 5: to work through. Is are we giving the money that
Speaker 5: we're giving out? How is that? How is that bogging
Speaker 5: us down from making other moves? And can we still
Speaker 5: be flexible in that? And for the player, it's I
Speaker 5: want my bread and I want to get back to
Speaker 5: the table again. The frustrating part. I think a lot
Speaker 5: of people are saying, what from the outside, what the
Speaker 5: Cowboys are? You knew these deals were coming up, so
Speaker 5: instead of waiting until the credit card bill was past due,
Speaker 5: you could have handled some of these things in a
Speaker 5: more staggering type situation. And I think that's a lot
Speaker 5: of times when you look at what the Eagles do,
Speaker 5: it's almost as it's staggering. It's where all the big
Speaker 5: names aren't coming to to the table at one time.
Speaker 5: But I can stagger these deals out if I attacked
Speaker 5: them earlier. Though, the Cowboys have just elected to wait.
Speaker 5: They waited with Dak the first time around, they're waiting
Speaker 5: now with CD. They're probably gonna wait now with Micah.
Speaker 5: And if Micah CD had a year this year where
Speaker 5: he was I think second in the league in receiving yards,
Speaker 5: first in the league in receptions, and n he was
Speaker 5: up there with touchdowns, he had an all pro year. Well,
Speaker 5: the more I keep adding on to this stuff, the
Speaker 5: more my price goes up. When I start adding all
Speaker 5: pros to first team all pros, to the to the
Speaker 5: to the to the to the docket, you can't you
Speaker 5: you can't give me with those guys over there used
Speaker 5: to get And the same thing with Micah. If Micah,
Speaker 5: if they don't do a deal with michaelh this year
Speaker 5: and he goes to the season next year, next year
Speaker 5: and he gets the sack total or is a Defensive
Speaker 5: Player of the Year or another first team all Pro types,
Speaker 5: my price goes up. My price only goes up. I
Speaker 5: think that's the biggest thing that frustrates Cowboys fans. It's
Speaker 5: like we're facing these credit card bills that we knew
Speaker 5: were coming years in advance, and we could have we
Speaker 5: could have given ourselves a little bit more relief if
Speaker 5: we had attacked some of these deals like you knew CD.
Speaker 5: You knew CD deal was coming up.
Speaker 7: You know now.
Speaker 5: Granted, guys like Micah, they have to get to a
Speaker 5: certain threshold in the years they've been in the league
Speaker 5: before you get offered them a new deal.
Speaker 7: But not Dak.
Speaker 5: He's past that threshold. You could have got a deal
Speaker 5: done with him a year ago.
Speaker 4: And I think the frustrating part from a fans perspective
Speaker 4: is each one of those guys you've you've pigeonholed yourself
Speaker 4: the way you've drafted the way you've let play go,
Speaker 4: the way you've like, those are your guys, Like Dak's
Speaker 4: the he's the guy, CD, He's what's behind him, He's
Speaker 4: the guy Micah. You've built this defense, You've moved him
Speaker 4: from linebacker to the defensive end, and you've built the
Speaker 4: defense around him. So it's not like, oh, if he
Speaker 4: goes away, this is just a piece like that. Those
Speaker 4: you have morphed this team into, those are your Those
Speaker 4: are your guys, right, And it's like, like.
Speaker 3: You know, those your guys.
Speaker 4: Why aren't you, like you said, staggering it making sure
Speaker 4: they're here and not Maybe they're not stressed out upstairs,
Speaker 4: but it stresses the hell out of Cowboy says.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 10: Are they in a position though, where they've I don't
Speaker 10: know how to explain this, like they have put themselves
Speaker 10: behind the eight ball, in a position where they can't
Speaker 10: get it because they they pushed money all these years.
Speaker 10: They push money back. I mean, you look back when
Speaker 10: Tony Rum, when Dak Prescott like was on that rookie deal,
Speaker 10: they still had dead money on Tony Rum when they
Speaker 10: had to pay and it's same now you look now
Speaker 10: it's they've got seven ten million dollars of dead money
Speaker 10: they have to play. Zeke's getting six Tyron Smith's getting six.
Speaker 10: I mean, are they in a position where we're like,
Speaker 10: they can't pay going forward because they're still paying on
Speaker 10: the past.
Speaker 9: And if so, how do they get out of it?
Speaker 9: How do they break that cycle?
Speaker 7: I'd sign these guys just.
Speaker 5: I think that's just I think that's just order of business.
Speaker 5: I think dead money dead money.
Speaker 7: Every team.
Speaker 5: I think every team is in dead money that ranks.
Speaker 5: I think I think every team is at least every
Speaker 5: team that's that's that has enough star players on there.
Speaker 5: That's just a part of that's the price of doing
Speaker 5: business is that you're going to have some debt money
Speaker 5: that you have, uh that you have to pay.
Speaker 7: And if that is, if that is the case, then.
Speaker 5: Again it behooves you even more now to kind of
Speaker 5: be able to have the flexibility in getting contracts done
Speaker 5: early enough that you can move this money around.
Speaker 10: They're twenty first and dead money, So that's not like
Speaker 10: you said, order of business.
Speaker 5: The order Yeah, it's that's just that's just the operating costs.
Speaker 3: It's just our team, so we yeah.
Speaker 9: Lead average, they're at seventeen league averages twenty five.
Speaker 7: So they're even under the threshold.
Speaker 5: And that and and those are the type of things
Speaker 5: that fans get a chance to go up and look
Speaker 5: at and know that y'are talking about you need to
Speaker 5: save money. And this is Steven Talbot asked you talking
Speaker 5: about you need to save money because you got other
Speaker 5: stuff that you have to pay for it.
Speaker 7: And the teams are going, but other teams are functioning.
Speaker 5: And thriving and putting better teams together with higher debt
Speaker 5: money that that that money cap issues than we do.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so is this Philadelia has thirty seven million dead money?
Speaker 4: So is this the year where they, like you said, Kurt,
Speaker 4: are they are they resetting this year? Are they are
Speaker 4: they like, Okay, guess what we're gonna We're gonna clear
Speaker 4: the books because they haven't Oh, by the way, big
Speaker 4: sign this week. We got to talk about that in
Speaker 4: the next the next step. They they haven't signed anybody,
Speaker 4: they haven't paid a lot of money, and they haven't
Speaker 4: gone and redone any of these big contracts. Is this
Speaker 4: the year where they're like, you know what, we're just
Speaker 4: gonna We're just gonna clean the books off.
Speaker 3: We're gonna start at zero. And I'm not saying I'm not.
Speaker 4: Gonna use the rebuild word, but you know they've let
Speaker 4: some key guys go. Is this the year where they're
Speaker 4: just like, we got to get the money right and
Speaker 4: then and then make a run starting, you know, next
Speaker 4: year with starting with.
Speaker 3: This draft, Like I just I don't know, it just.
Speaker 4: It just it's a weird time because they've never taken
Speaker 4: this approach, I guess, or we've never seen this approach.
Speaker 3: Maybe we're just talking about it more.
Speaker 4: Maybe there's more content creators out there, like you said,
Speaker 4: and everybody's got opinions, but just doesn't seem to me
Speaker 4: like they've ever let this many guys go, sign this
Speaker 4: few of guys and then had this many big glooming
Speaker 4: contracts out there where they haven't at.
Speaker 3: Least publicly speaking.
Speaker 4: Now they may be working around the clock on these
Speaker 4: deals and we just don't know about it. They might
Speaker 4: come out today and be like, hey, we signed all
Speaker 4: three of these guys. We figured it out and that's
Speaker 4: why they didn't bring anybody in. But just you know,
Speaker 4: I just don't remember a time where it's been this
Speaker 4: much up in the air as far as the money.
Speaker 10: So it makes your one I mean, because you've got
Speaker 10: a coaching staff that's in their last year of their contract.
Speaker 7: You're gonna lose everything.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're gonnase, you.
Speaker 10: Know, I think the marks lawrence is the last year
Speaker 10: is cont I mean, you could they want if they
Speaker 10: want to rewrite the books this season they.
Speaker 7: I mean, you could do it.
Speaker 4: You can get rid of the coaching staff, you could
Speaker 4: get rid of your three key players.
Speaker 5: You can think they will, But I don't think. I
Speaker 5: don't think that thought processes is far off. When you
Speaker 5: start putting all the puzzle pieces together, it sounds like,
Speaker 5: you know what, and maybe all in mean cleaning the
Speaker 5: books this year, Like that's all in. Hey, we're going
Speaker 5: all in and cleaning these books, and that next year
Speaker 5: when we hire a new head coach and the new staff.
Speaker 3: They have said all that means different things.
Speaker 5: To different things, the different people, right, And and now
Speaker 5: they're saying, we're going in with you know, better books,
Speaker 5: more money, and new coaching, new coaching staff, and now
Speaker 5: we can throw these we can throw these financial resources
Speaker 5: at other things. I don't I don't know. I don't
Speaker 5: know that that is that is as the world turns.
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboy addition.
Speaker 4: That's why we have seven shows that talk about this,
Speaker 4: because everyone has a different people, it'll be interesting.
Speaker 3: I think that makes the draft even that more interesting, right, Like,
Speaker 3: what do we all think?
Speaker 7: That's crazy? Right?
Speaker 5: Does any other and I don't want to mess up
Speaker 5: my money, but does any other team have as many shows?
Speaker 7: No one has. I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's another team that has that many
Speaker 4: external shows that talk about their team.
Speaker 3: We have seven in the house in house?
Speaker 4: Is it seven now, Chris, he's I'm listening.
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's eighty. Okay, we have eight in house shows
Speaker 3: just in this just piots, just parts.
Speaker 7: That's a show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is crazy, but I think that makes the draft.
Speaker 7: By the way, Chris is like, don't mess up my money?
Speaker 3: By yeah, Chris, by the way, you want to plug
Speaker 3: the Draft show? Yeah?
Speaker 14: The Draft Show starts to today. It's been starting, but

Speaker 3: Jesse's not he doesn't do the apps.
Speaker 4: I think that's would be a bit dangerous for you.
Speaker 4: Trailer parkfinder dot com.
Speaker 7: Big back, big.
Speaker 3: All right. We had a signing this week last was
Speaker 3: he yesterday? Day before yesterday. I've never no offense to
Speaker 3: my man, But I've never heard Royce Freeman. I've never
Speaker 3: heard of the game. I want to make sure I
Speaker 3: got it right. But Nate, do you know anything about Royce?
Speaker 5: Yeah, journeyman, I think he has about like sixteen seventeen
Speaker 5: hundred total yards over the last couple of years, played
Speaker 5: for a bunch of different teams in the league.
Speaker 10: It's big, yeah, decent back, six foot two thirty eight
Speaker 10: or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, which is weird?
Speaker 4: Is that weird that they signed They've never had a
Speaker 4: big back here?
Speaker 7: Really?
Speaker 5: No, it reminds you like the guy that Loronald Jones
Speaker 5: last year. Yeah, that's a comparison of the people.
Speaker 10: Say Nick Harris wrote something about that's you know, you
Speaker 10: look at McCarthy inherited, Zeke any inherent Pollard. There's a
Speaker 10: question about what kind of back does he like, and
Speaker 10: Nick kind of said, you know, maybe he once said
Speaker 10: big bruising kind of guy, which I don't know Freeman's answer,
Speaker 10: but he kind of fits that mold.
Speaker 5: And I think if you're going to go running back
Speaker 5: has become a two back, yeah, you know, two backs
Speaker 5: by committee type thing in the league, with the exception
Speaker 5: of a few backs but a few teams, but for
Speaker 5: the most part, it's been a lot of you're going
Speaker 5: to have the bigger, bruising back and then you're going
Speaker 5: to have the speedback. And I think this kind of
Speaker 5: gives you at least at least a veteran back going
Speaker 5: in the camp that gives you that bigger body, short
Speaker 5: yard his body.
Speaker 7: But still can kind of move.
Speaker 5: And then as you go into the draft, in which
Speaker 5: everybody's kind of projecting, the Cowboys might sign a guy
Speaker 5: like Jonathan Brooks, but do we know if he's ready
Speaker 5: to go?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so are you going?
Speaker 3: What's your opinion?
Speaker 4: Are you going into the season with Rico being your
Speaker 4: number one guy or do you think they're going to
Speaker 4: have somebody and try to ready plug him?
Speaker 5: But I think I think I think there's going to
Speaker 5: be a signing, a trade or signing that gives a
Speaker 5: more prominent back in this in this a more prominent
Speaker 5: stable back in this uh, in the in the running back.
Speaker 10: I know there was something leaning towards they're gonna draft.
Speaker 3: I know there was some talk a week or two
Speaker 3: ago about Zeke coming back. How do we feel about that?
Speaker 7: I mean, no offense to Zeke, I'm good.
Speaker 14: I think Freeman being signed is probably.
Speaker 4: Probably puts that squashes all that, all right, Kurt, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: we got a couple of minutes left. I know what
Speaker 4: we didn't get to all your all your points? What
Speaker 4: would you like to hit as our last time.
Speaker 9: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I like the last the last point that you had.
Speaker 3: It's a great it's a great point.
Speaker 10: So the Rainer our local teams, Texas Rangers are the
Speaker 10: reigning World Series champs. The Mavericks and Stars are both hot.
Speaker 10: Maverick Stars won the the West and their divisions.
Speaker 9: Are in there.
Speaker 10: They're and in both strong. So does this affect the
Speaker 10: Cowboys at all? Does it create added pressure?
Speaker 9: Do they not care? They just the eight hundred pound
Speaker 9: gorilla that if.
Speaker 4: They weren't printing money upstairs, I think they would care.
Speaker 3: But we all know it doesn't matter all this stuff.
Speaker 4: That's going on in the offseason when when they head out,
Speaker 4: when they get on that plane and go to Oxnard,
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if if the Mavericks win it again,
Speaker 4: if the Stars win it again, like you could have
Speaker 4: three world champions in this city. When they get on
Speaker 4: that plane to Oxnard, it all shuts down and it's
Speaker 4: it's Cowboys twenty four to seven.
Speaker 10: Like that doesn't you don't think that irritates them at all?
Speaker 10: And the Joneses are up there thinking.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure Like for people that think they don't
Speaker 4: want to win, they're crazy, like, that's why you're that's
Speaker 4: that's why you're in This is real life fantasy football.
Speaker 4: You think you pay your money to join your fantasy
Speaker 4: football league and you don't want to win, and now
Speaker 4: you may give up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think I might be trending towards crazy.
Speaker 16: You think, I mean, but I don't think you are
Speaker 16: a part of professional sports in any aspect, even us,
Speaker 16: Like I don't think you work for a professional sports
Speaker 16: team unless.
Speaker 4: You're competitive, like you don't enjoy losing like you.
Speaker 3: You may you may.
Speaker 4: Not spend wisely, and you may make poor decisions, but
Speaker 4: I think the will and want to win is is there.
Speaker 3: It's just how you put it together.
Speaker 4: I don't think for anybody that says they don't want
Speaker 4: like or they don't want to win, I think that's
Speaker 4: you know, Jesse's may be crazy, but like I think
Speaker 4: they want to win.
Speaker 9: On the field and off.
Speaker 7: You don't make you don't get to winning.
Speaker 4: You don't get to where you're at anybody that is
Speaker 4: a billionaire if you are not cutthroat, competitive and want
Speaker 4: to just squash everybody body around you, like you can
Speaker 4: do it the right way, right, but you don't get
Speaker 4: to make that much money by not being like, I'm
