Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:25.119 Ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.480 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.800 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.760 It is Wednesday, March Night, twenty twenty two, Season seventeen, 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.160 episode number one oh seven. Welcome to the latest edition 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.239 of The Break. We're live from the SWBC Mortgage studios 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.800 at the Star and Day. We're talking franchise tags, we're 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.640 talking free agency. We're talking about all the things that 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.920 go into creating an NFL football team, and the Cowboys 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:58.800 are sitting at the cusp of it. Next week it 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.920 begins in earnest, and we'll talk about all that. We're 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.720 gonna go to the fullest of free agents and get 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.360 everybody's opinions on what they think is going to happen, 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.440 what they think should happen, because those two things don't 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.080 always match up? Does it? Does it begin in earnest 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.640 because we cover the Cowboys. I'm just saying, you're good, 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.480 Poy I'm just saying, it's a long it's a long 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.080 month of doing deals and signing guys. Yeah, and and 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.720 and by the way, if you're expecting the Cowboys to 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.280 jump in next week and be signing guys that don't 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.080 already haven't already won a star, you probably might want 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.000 to kind of kind of just get some good perspectives. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.640 Seeing a lot of Bobby Wagner questions and I'm just like, 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.960 do you guys follow this team? What are we doing here? 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.440 It's funny. Right before the show, Nick, Nick and I 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.720 were talking and I was kind of like, man, kind 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.360 of we'd like, kind of like to see Bobby Wagner 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.720 in a cowboy uniform. That would be real good. But 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.120 it was Dan Quinn. He's doing that too. He's like, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.960 maybe maybe Dan, maybe Dan can make it happen. We 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.160 can sit here and complain till our faces turned blue. 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.920 But if the DC wants him, yeah maybe maybe maybe big, 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.359 maybe big maybe. All right, let's let's jump in. I 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.280 do want to talk first about the franchise tag Dalton 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.640 Schultz gets franchised. First of all, you guys tell me why, 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.760 why why did they end up having the franchise, Because 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.440 I think there are a lot of people out there, 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.720 if you listen to sports talk radio, you watch the 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.560 sports shows, you watch even the fans talking about it 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.480 on Twitter. I think a lot of people are like, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.760 why would the Cowboys use the franchise tag on Dalton Schultz. 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.880 I don't have answers. I got an answer they I 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.720 think they thought that they were over a barrel, to 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.960 be honest with you, I mean, it's ironic. You asked 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.800 me about Blake Jarwin last week, and I think they've 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.079 known this for a little while. It escaped media attention 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.040 for a minute. Blake Jarwin is not a guarantee to 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.200 be ready to play next year. Like, this is a 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.880 really awful injury that he's going to be dealing with. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.280 I don't think they can count on him. I think 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.960 I'm not trying to write his career off, but I 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.680 think he's going to be up against it to like 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.000 come back and play football at like a professional level. Yeah. No, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.320 this is a big injury. It's a big deal. So 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.160 you lose him and the guys behind him, or Sean 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.120 mccun and Ian Bunting, and maybe they bring back Jeremy Sprinkle. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.480 But again, that's not something you can count on, and 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.920 tight end has been an important part of this offense. 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.920 Stack has a great relationship with Dalton Schultz. Call him 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.000 a safety net, calm, whatever you want. But I think 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.280 they were like, we can't afford to have nothing. Say 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.280 what you will about whatever they might do with Amari Cooper, 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.640 but they can find other options there. They've got Ceedee Lamb, 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.360 They're trying to bring back Michael Gallup. They don't have 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.480 anything if they don't have Dalton Schultz, and so I 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.360 think that kind of forced their hand a little bit. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.640 It's the cheapest option to get a quality tight end, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.640 I mean, other than really, because you don't know about 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.160 the draft, you don't know who you're going to get 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.960 and win. I mean, Jason Witten was the best time 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.040 idea the Cowboys have ever had. It took him, you know, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.960 for his rookie yeary wasn't much of you know, he 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.920 was a pretty good player, but he still was a backup. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.480 So my point is that, you know, he's probably going 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.800 to make more than that on the open market, Like 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.920 I think he would have made more than I don't know. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.039 I'll go as far as to say, yeah, definitely, thirteen 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.680 fourteen was being discussed. Who knows if he gets that 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.640 now the cap number would have been less. Let's Beau 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.880 and the Cowboys are going to try to do something 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.839 like that, but um, you know, to try to probably 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.359 sign him to a longer term deal. I would think. 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.400 I don't think this is a prove it year for him. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.320 I mean, I don't think they can carry that eleven 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.000 million dollar number for that long, so I think they 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.320 would like to get a different deal. But you know, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.320 my only question about Schultz is do we know that 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.719 Dalton Schultz is really a good tight end without the 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.200 double teams that Amari Cooper and Seedee Lamb have commanded 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.320 on the outside. Do we know that? Because if he's 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.640 like the main guy, the main focus, I mean, this 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.719 isn't Travis Kelcey running a round that you have the 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.680 game plan for. I don't believe. Yeah, no, that's that's 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.080 gonna be the tricky part. I've seen all the stuff 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.920 on Twitter, and I don't know if I disagree. Well, 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.400 he doesn't block, well, he doesn't get any you know, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.520 yards after kits. I mean, what does he do? He's 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.440 just guys that catches the ball and takes advantage of 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.440 the scheme. True. Is that worth eleven million? We're gonna 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.560 find out. Well, I think so. And again, well, I 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.359 think their hand was forced a little bit here, like 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.440 I said, and I think their logic not saying I 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.719 completely agree with it. I think I've said as many 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.520 times as I can that I think it would be 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:38.880 lunacy to cut Amari Cooper. But to Nick's point, I mean, 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.039 something's got to give at some point. They just added 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.520 an eleven million dollar charge on top of already being 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.640 over the salary cap. They did restructure Dak and Zach 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.800 to create twenty two million, they're still over as far 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.840 as I know, because I thought how much were they 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.600 over before? They were seventeen to twenty over? And you 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.160 add eleven on top of the head. Oh you're saying, yeah, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.360 with eleven in the twenty two you still they still 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:05.320 have work to do. Yeah. Um. But so what I 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.440 was gonna say, so, I think that would be dumb. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.679 I don't think they should cut Amari Cooper. If anything, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.600 I think they should restructure him and push some of 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.159 his money into the future. But I can see a 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.000 logic in their minds where they're like, well, we can 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.919 we can recreate our receiver corps that is more doable. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.880 We can sign Michael Gallop to a team friendly deal. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.800 We've got Ceedee Lamb. There's freak receivers in the draft 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.160 every year. We can find a guy in the top 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.480 three rounds that can step in and play right away, 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.479 and maybe sign a cheap veteran to go on top 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.480 of that, kind of like what they did with Alan 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.120 Hearns or somebody like a Brown. Is it No, Noah 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.360 Brown is not that? No offense to him. I'm I'm 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.680 proud of that guy. Man. He's he's about to start. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.200 He's he's gonna get his NFL pension out of being 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.240 a seventh round draft pick. Good for him. But I 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.640 think that they think it's by four years he said 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.920 four words, I mean like, but it's worked. They can 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.920 never not Kaman's hustle, you know. I think that they 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.039 think that they can recreate their receiver corps a little 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.200 bit more easily than they can find a serviceable tight end. 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.120 Because you think about Dalton Schultz, it took him two 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.240 years to be a useful player. And unless you're drafting 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.120 a Kyle Pitts or a t J. Hockinson, who are 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.320 top ten picks you're not getting that guy in the draft. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.520 It's very rare to find a tight end who can 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.000 step in and be useful right away unless you're using 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.360 a big, big pick on him. So that's what I 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.160 was going to ask you about the draft, because I 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.400 know tight end is not a position that I've really 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.800 heard people talk about in just in general and also 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.200 tying it back to the Cowboys, and I haven't looked 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.280 at the free agency list of around the NFL, but 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.240 there are no really is there not a name tight 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.920 ends have been franchise at this point like that? That 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.080 was the interesting thing to me. There's the third besides 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.840 in Joku and Dalton. Sorry, I'm putting you on the 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.080 spot trying to remember who it was hold on let 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:59.280 me think, yeah, but I mean and then and a 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.120 lot of that goes to the fact that it's it's 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.760 not a huge number. I know, it sounds like it 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.360 is eleven million, but for the franchise tag, not by 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.240 NFL standardly not. Yeah, so that that it kind of 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.040 makes more sense. And that's probably what Travis Kelsey and 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.840 George Kittle and those guys would like to see happening. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.040 Is just sure right that room which Mike. Mike Gasecki 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.320 is the third, which and I bet he feels some 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.160 type of way about it because he's barely a tight end. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.560 He's I mean, he's one of the he's a you know, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.200 he's the Jimmy Graham split off the line way more 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.520 often than he's in line doing stuff. The I mean, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.520 the list is of an Ingram, not Jimmy Graham. I mean, 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.839 let's don't put Gasecki into Jimmy Graham. He's more Evan Engram. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.320 I'm not I'm not comparing their skill set. I know 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.720 what I'm saying. Yeah, but yeah, Jimmy, he had a 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.960 pretty good year this time did Yeah, Yeah, I don't 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:53.040 he hasn't. I mean Jimmy Graham like, yeah, yeah, changing, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.400 he was changing, trying to change rules and stuff. You 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.880 got Zach Ertz, who at this point is more player, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.560 more name than player. Jimmy Graham is definitely more name 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.760 than player. Rob Gronkowski lives in his own world, Like, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.360 I mean, I don't know that he wants to play, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.640 you know, That's what I'm saying. You don't know if 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.280 he wants to play, And even if he does, he's 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.200 like he's just gonna sign where he wants to. He 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.560 doesn't need the money, He doesn't any of that stuff. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.720 Eric Ebron, who's more name than player C j Ozoma, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.320 the Cincinnati guy who got hurt, right he did get hurt. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.480 Ebron does interest me, and I also think he'll command 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.280 a pretty big deal if I had to guess as well, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.280 because things I've heard suggest that Ebron is a much 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.640 better block than any guy they got on this roster, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.120 which I think that's the part they've been missing in 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.480 their in their tight end room for a long time, 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.439 like they have not had a good block or maybe 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.200 since martellis Um And I think they really should invest 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.840 in one of those. So if Ebron could be that 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.640 for them, that's a nice guy to kind of literally doing. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:58.200 Here it's over, I mean, if they're still gonna need 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.839 another tight end, right yeah, but not eric Ron. I mean, like, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.880 is Hebron at the point where he's just like going 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.920 to break the bank? I don't think so he'll be 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.000 worth enough money that I doubt that they really Yeah, see, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.760 I look at Hebron as one of those guys kind 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.360 of like the kinds guys they bring in, like a 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.080 Carlos Watkins kind of towards the end of his career, 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.880 you could probably get him for or actually, let's talk 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.080 about this in two weeks when that's when they're gonna start. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.760 You see who's left. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.280 they like who they like. They like Noah Brown. We 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:33.000 just talked about Noah Brown. They like Sean McEwen. And 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.080 I'm not saying you shouldn't because everything we've ever seen 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.480 out of him seems like, oh, okay, they like guys 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.600 they don't have to spend money on. We can say it. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.320 It's fine, Well everybody does that. I mean like they've spent, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:49.720 they spend They spend enough money over the cape, spending money, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.760 Like right, yeah, they're spending money. I don't think the 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.560 money is the issue. I don't think the spending money 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.839 is the issue. They got they got high profile guys 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.280 and right now, like I heard some some people talking 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.320 about this is like did the window close on the 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.280 Cowboys because they didn't win with Dak contract the way 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.319 it was. But I mean, your two best defensive players 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.800 are sitting there probably making a combine two million dollars. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.200 So get it done, because I promise you next year, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.840 Well no, not next year. I was thinking this two years. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.120 Digs will Yeah, that'll be interesting. We'll see what As 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.680 long as Trayvon doesn't fall off a cliff, he's probably 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.760 gonna have something to say about that gets in the 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.160 range of you know, even six, seven, you know, interceptions 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.840 or something like, they don't have to do that. Eleven 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.280 is crazy. That ain't gonna happen again. I say that 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.920 even he could finish with four. And then he'll say, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.439 I have eighteen interceptions in my first three years. Give 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:52.480 me money now, Yeah, let's go and and I this 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.280 one's gonna happen next year. This is my prediction on 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.560 Mica right now. Mike is like, right, I'll do this, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.320 I'll play this, I'll play linebacker, I'll play edge, whatever 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.559 you want to do, you know, And then he'll get 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.719 another twelve thirteen sacks and a lot of them will 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.199 be coming from the outside, and his agent'll be talking, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.120 all right, your third year, let's be a defensive end, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.760 because the franchise tag for defensive ends and linebackers is different. Yeah, 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.480 so I wouldn't be surprised if that conversation happens. That is, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.200 it's a wonderful point. Going back to Mike Kasecki. He's like, man, 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.520 I'm basically a receiver and y'all are tagging me as 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.240 an end. Cowboys are gonna be like, yeah, well, you're 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.000 getting the fifth year option as a linebacker, sir, not 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.400 as a pass rusher, but doing that. But then my 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.520 thought would be, well, then go beat Treyvon Diggs. Then 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.800 go beat Treyvon Diggs every single play, because I bet 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.960 you you're not doing that. I bet you you're You're 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.840 beating that hybrid role and you're beating some corners, but 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.599 you're also beating tight ends as well. You know. I 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.800 just that's that's part of That's something they're probably gonna 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.880 have to at some point address because there are lots 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.320 of roles in the NFL that are now becoming hybrids, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.400 and so it's not as simple as just saying, well, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.040 you get to tag at this position, because there are 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.000 players that play multiple positions based upon kind of how 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.680 the team utilizes them. All Right, real quick, what happens 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.880 with with I guess Blake at this point? Are they 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.440 gonna are they on the hook for his contract? Are 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.840 they gonna maybe would would you look at the option 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.360 of maybe cutting him? Is at even a possibility. What 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.000 do they do at this point with Blake Jarwin for 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.400 the money that they have sunk man, You have heard 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.240 some of this. I did, and I probably had a 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.880 ten minute conversation about Blake Jarwin and still don't understand it. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.440 It's a little bit different. But he's got options. He No, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.240 he doesn't have a lot of options. Um, cowboys have options. Yeah, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.520 the Cowboys have options. It's probably going to be a 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:46.400 reduction or a cut, I think, But because he's injured 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.800 and needs to rehab, it's one of those things he 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.760 kind of has to bet on himself. That's way I 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.240 took it. If there's an injury protection program, if he's released, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.480 he can make I think two million dollars. But if 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.440 he bets on himself to say, hey, I'm gonna play 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.120 and try to work this thing back at and it 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:05.319 doesn't ever happen, then he screws himself out of that money. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.920 So I think what will happen is is they may 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.000 rework his deal or maybe even release him and then 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:16.000 resign him, keep him back, keep much reduced and so 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.600 he can rehab here. We all know what they think 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.480 of the rehab guys here, and that will probably be 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.200 what happens, but they're going to have to get some 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.160 of that money. But at this point, why not just 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.640 cut him? Because and I and I lie, I've always 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.960 been a fan of Blake Jarwin and I've seen his potential, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.400 but it's been unfortunate. I feel like, what this would 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.480 be the third year where he's like affective but some 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.680 kind of injury that has left him out of the field. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.360 So at this point, it's like it just feels that 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.680 you're simply and it's sad to say, but you're simply 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.200 not gonna get much out of him even if he 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.280 recovers from this, right. I think it's it's a thing 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.560 teams do with players they have relationships that they like 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.600 they're going to get some of his money back by 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.520 hook or by crook, Like they're just they're not just 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.760 gonna let that sit there. But you know, say, hey, 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.400 absolutely give this a go, try to rehab this injury. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.600 We'll keep you here, we'll take care of you. We 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.880 don't just want to throw you out on the street. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.880 Kind of the right thing to do, Yeah, you know, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.360 and that tends to happen with guys that they've built 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.760 relations with. I mean, Blake and his wife live here 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.400 in the area. I mean, that's very common with players, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.640 so they'll they'll find a way to get some of 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.800 that money back. But you're not just like, oh, sorry, 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.320 go do something else. You're out of here. Yeah, I 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.880 guess all right, We're gonna take our first break and 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.040 we come back. We're gonna jump into free agency.

We'll do that when we come 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.320 right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Oh yeah, it was all over heard by 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.120 today and I've never heard of the guy. Well yeah, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:48.600 but I mean I saw that. It was like, I've 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.160 never heard of this guy before, but I heard we're 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.560 old Fogies Rock. Is he coming back the Rock? Think so? 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.000 Think he's busy with football. Can I like get in 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.000 advance so I can buy the tickets?

Well, but if you did have to pay 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.920 for it, I'm sure geek dot com would be very 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.000 good and helping you get that if you'd not Yeah 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.280 to the point where your boss are just gonna hand 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.520 you tickets. Because the biggest question is Roman Reins, not 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:27.520 even not even is Bad Bunny gonna be there? Do 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.119 you even know who Bad Bunny? Of course I know 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.840 who Bad Bunny, but he just he just played at 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.680 the AAC like two weeks ago. Once he coming back, 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.720 he played at American Airlines like within the last month. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.840 He said, yes, he well, he has a concert that's 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.359 gonna be at AT and T Stadium other than that one, 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.399 so he's coming back to the Dallas again. It's a 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.320 big end, a big jump to play eight American Airlines 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:51.880 and then go and play it eight. I mean AT 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:56.000 and T. If what I'm standing he can pack both. Clearly. 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.639 If if you can pack the AT and T, you 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.680 could probably pay. But I'm saying like he'd do like 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:01.680 a he got that kind of following where he just like, 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.320 I'm gonna sign up as many shows that sell out. 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.600 That's I think that's what Garth Brooks does. He's like 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.080 one night, two nights, three nights. The fourth night didn't 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.760 sell out, so okay, I do four nights and that's 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.000 it rilla until they don't sell out anymore. That's but 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.399 smaller venues like that, they'll just do the one. Anyways, 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.159
