Busy week here at the team headquarters. 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: You got it said, Yeah, it's exciting that the new 14 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 3: league year is here. Free agency has officially begun and 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: going to take that next step toward next season. 16 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, free agency has officially begun, but the fun really 17 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: started on Monday through legal tampering period. A lot of 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: moves around the league this week. 19 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: Eric, Yeah, that's right. You see some of the big 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: names off the board quickly. Obviously, we know that Broncos 21 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: were not going to have the same approach they did 22 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: last season when they went out and got Mike mcglinch, 23 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: Ben Powers, some I JP, Ryan, Zach Allen. I mean 24 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 3: last year that was the kind of the big free 25 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 3: agency wave that teams make from time to time. George Payton, 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: Sean Payton. They said not to expect that this year, 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: So no surprise there that the Broncos were a little 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: bit quiet, but said they were able to retain some 29 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: of their key guys that were on the roster last year. 30 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, Eric, We'll start with the first guy that 31 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: they resigned on Monday. They brought back safety at PJ Lock. 32 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: He signed a two year deal here. Super excited for him, 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: so well deserved. 34 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, PJ Special teams contributor his first three seasons in Denver, 35 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: ends up starting eight games last year, makes some big plays, 36 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: as you know, the interception against the Packers to win 37 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: that game, as a couple of key forced fumbles, really 38 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: showed himself as a physical player, a rangey player on 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: the back end. We know that Justin Simmons has moved on. 40 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 3: The Bronc has parted ways and released him last week, 41 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: and so it's an opportunity for PJ. 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: Lock. 43 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: We'll have to see kind of how that safety room 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: shakes out here in the coming days, coming weeks. As 45 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: we approached the season, but a big opportunity for PJ. 46 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: Lock. 47 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: And you know, he's just one of these these guys 48 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: that has talked about he wanted to be here, wanted 49 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: this opportunity, wanted to continue with this team in this environment. 50 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: As coaching staff, so excited for PJ. 51 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 4: Lock. Yeah. 52 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: I was going to say, Eric, I know you talked 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: to him on Monday, and he seems thrilled to be back. 54 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was fired up. He had his family with him. 55 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: You can tell when these guys get that kind of 56 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: that first or that second contract rather what it means 57 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: to them. 58 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: And so he's excited to be back in Denver. 59 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, well deserved. Like I said, Well, also, Eric, the 60 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: team brought back kicker Will Lutts. He'll be here for 61 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: an additional two seasons as well. You know, we really 62 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: saw that special teams unit take a big step forward 63 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: last year. So we'll just continue to grow this next 64 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: couple of seasons. 65 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and a priority obviously ahead of the season to 66 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: go out and trade for Will Lutts. Got him here 67 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: right before the season started and really found his groove 68 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: last year. He was the AFC Special Teams Player of 69 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 3: the Month in November did not miss a field goal 70 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: in three games that month and really found a lot 71 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: of success. I believe you only this two field goals 72 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: inside of fifty yards all season, made the second most 73 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: field goals in a season in franchise history. Made some 74 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: big kicks for this team. And so he's a guy that, 75 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: again you don't want to have to go through that 76 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: kicker competition every year. He showed with his ability as 77 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: consistency that he's among those top guys in the league. 78 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 3: We know Sean Payton valued him, and so to have 79 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: him back is also crucial, and like you mentioned, it 80 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: maintains that consistency in that kicking group. 81 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Definitely. 82 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then today on Wednesday, the team also re 83 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: signed title Adam Troutman and then fullback Michael Burton as well, 84 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: So they'll be returning here to Denver. You know, two 85 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: key contributors there on offense. Why do you think it 86 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: was so important for the team to bring them back? 87 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I think in general, all these guys the 88 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: Broncants are trying to build kind of still build this culture, 89 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: build this program. It's a team first mindset. You know, 90 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: we've heard Sean Payton talk so many times about the 91 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 3: procurement of players and having guys that this really matters too. 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: And so I think as you continue to build this 93 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: team in that image, it's important to have guys that 94 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: want to be here. And certainly a guy like Mike 95 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: Burton said, he wants to be here. He wants to 96 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: see this thing through. He's as selfless as they come. 97 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: I mean, I think back to that play against the 98 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: Chargers last year. He picks up a blitz in the pocket. 99 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: L J. 100 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: Humphrey, catches the ball, runs down for a touchdown it 101 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 3: but he doesn't get to the end zone if Michael 102 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: Burton isn't forty yards down. 103 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: The field, right, it was impressive. 104 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: Sean Payton after that play said, I think it was 105 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: the next day, he compared it to Champ excuse me, 106 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: the Benjamin Watson effort against Champ Bailey here way back 107 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: in the Divisional round against the Patriots almost twenty years 108 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: ago now, and so that speaks to how special that 109 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: play was. Obviously, a fullback, it's kind of that position 110 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: where you don't get a lot of credit, a lot 111 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: of accolades, but you just play hard. And he's a 112 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: special teams contributor as well. I think we know how 113 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: valued he is in the building. I'm saying with Adam Troutman, 114 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: I mean a guy that he was the leading receiver 115 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: as a tight end. I think the Broncos would probably 116 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: say they need more production at that spot. But he's 117 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: a guy that played seventy percent of the snaps. He 118 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: could catch the ball, he. 119 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: Could block in line. 120 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: He's a guy that again just kind of did it 121 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: all for the Broncos, and that selfless mindset, I think 122 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: is what this team's looking for. So bringing back those 123 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: two guys important pieces for this team moving. 124 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: Forward, definitely. 125 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: And Eric, you said you talked about Seawn's culture and 126 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: continuing to build that and think about the guys they 127 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: already resign, you know, Will Luds, Adam Trumpman, Michael Burton, 128 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: guys that have already been under Shawn in different regimes too. 129 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: So just continuing to build that and bring back guys 130 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: who know that culture. 131 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, definitely that's a good point. You know they've 132 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: played for Sewan before. Obviously PJ played form last year 133 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: decided hey I want to be back under a Sean 134 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: Payne coach team and just continue to build this and 135 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: take small steps, but continue to work toward the ultimate goal, definitely. 136 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: Eric. 137 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: Now that the league year has officially begun, that Jerry 138 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: Judy trade has become official. The Broncos traded him to 139 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: the Browns for a twenty twenty four fifth and a 140 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: sixth round pick this year. So what type of flexibility 141 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: do you think that gives the Broncos in this year's draft? 142 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: Then, Yeah, a good question, and I think one, You've 143 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: got three fifth round picks now, so it is a 144 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: chance if you're looking to add young talent to stock 145 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: up kind of in those middle rounds day three of 146 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 3: the draft and find some younger talent. We talk a 147 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: lot about first round picks and second round picks, but 148 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: we know Sean Payton George Payton in the past have 149 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 3: found some really key contributors in those late rounds. So 150 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: I wouldn't kind of discount sort of the value of 151 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: just having those picks if you do pick kind of 152 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: in that position and find some of these guys. I mean, 153 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 3: Sean Payton in the past has found guys like Zach Streeve, 154 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: Marcus Colston in the seventh round. Joh Reevans, a future 155 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, was a middle round pick. We certainly 156 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: have seen the success that George Payton has had Jonathan Cooper, 157 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: for example, a seventh round pick, So some of these 158 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: guys in the mid to late rounds can still be 159 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: key contributors, and certainly I think the Broncos as they 160 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: build this thing, are going to need guys like that. 161 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: The other thing it gives you is the chance if 162 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: you want to package some of those picks, maybe you 163 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 3: can move up a little bit. The Broncos do not 164 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 3: currently have the second round pick as we sit here 165 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: and talk SID, so you know, maybe it gives you 166 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: some flexibility to get up a little bit. You know, 167 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: the Broncos always talk about having the flexibility to trade up, 168 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: trade back, stay where they are, and so who knows 169 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: exactly how that plays out. But we know George Peyton 170 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: loves picks. We know Sean Payton has a history of 171 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: trading up, and so maybe this gives you some flexibility there. 172 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: But I think more than just the picks, it also 173 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: gives you a chance to see more of Marvin Mims 174 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: most likely and excited about that, Yeah, Sean Payton said 175 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: at the combine, really the only thing that held Marvin 176 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: back offensively last year was the Broncos in terms of 177 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: the opportunities he was able to get. He played the 178 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: same position as Jerry Judy, and so we saw that 179 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: maybe you know what Marvin could do when he had 180 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: his opportunities, and now I would expect that he gets 181 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: more opportunities and just an exciting young player with a 182 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: lot to prove, you know. He I think talked at 183 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: the end of the season about I did some good things, 184 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: but I want a lot more. Yeah, and you know, 185 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: he knew he had to be patient last year, just 186 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: with as many guys as the Broncos had in the room. 187 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: Feels like coming up, Marvin Mams is gonna have a 188 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: big chance to shine, definitely. 189 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of potential for him in the passing game. 190 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: Eric. On the other side of things, two former Broncos 191 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: have found new homes. Josie Jewel he's headed to the 192 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: Panthers in Carolina. And then there are reports out there 193 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: that Lloyd Kushiambary is headed to Nashville with the Titans. 194 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: Glad to see them go, but excited for them in 195 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: their next step. 196 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. Two guys that have been here a long time, 197 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: you know. 198 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: Josie Jewel, the outlaw, made a lot of big plays, 199 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: Sir Lloyd Kushimary the third one of our favorite of 200 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: our favors. You know, a third round pick who started 201 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 3: a ton of games here for the Broncos. 202 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, sad to see them go. 203 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: I think that's that's part of it, when you have 204 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 3: good players that sometimes they they're gonna head to free 205 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 3: agency and they're going to move on. I do think 206 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: the good news is, you know, we'll see kind of 207 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: what the Broncos choose to do at inside linebacker, and 208 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 3: I think George Peyton said at the combine that it 209 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: looked like Drew Sanders was going to move to outside linebacker. 210 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: Maybe we'll have to see how that all plays out, 211 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 3: but certainly somebody on need to slide in next to 212 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: Alex Singleton there. And then we know that Broncos have 213 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: a lot of confidence and guys like Luke Wattenberg, Alex 214 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 3: Forsyth there potentially at center, so you never rule out 215 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: any additional guys coming in, right, but especially at center. 216 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 4: I think the Broncas have talked about. 217 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: The excitement and the potential that those guys have, and 218 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 3: we heard George Payton talk at his end of season 219 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: presser and refer to a bunch of these guys in 220 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: last year's rookie class as potential future starters, and so 221 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: you know that's part of this league is you've got 222 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 3: a draft, Well, give guys a chance to step up. 223 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: And now some guys are going to get that opportunity. 224 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. 225 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: Well, there's still a lot of reports out there, but 226 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 2: nothing official from the team yet. So for Broncos fans 227 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: out there, please stay up to day on our social 228 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: media channels on Denver Broncos dot com. We'll have a 229 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: lot of coverage of who the Broncos signed in the 230 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: next couple of days. But Eric, I know it was 231 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: just a starter free agency, but what do you think, 232 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: Broncos fans, Broncos Country, you can really just expect over 233 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: the next few days here. 234 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think again, we heard George Payton 235 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: say for free agency ever started that this is not 236 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: going to be the approach of last year. We're not 237 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: going to go out and sign a ton of guys 238 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: to huge contracts right away. That doesn't mean there's not 239 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: value still to be had, and so I would expect 240 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: the Broncos to add guys. You know, we'll see is 241 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: that do you wait a week do you wait a 242 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: couple of weeks, do things really slow down and then 243 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 3: you you know, find some guys that are looking for 244 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: an opportunity. We'll have to see, but certainly, just the 245 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: nature of the NFL, more moves are on the way, 246 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: and there's nothing wrong with finding value right and finding contributors, 247 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: kind of that second and third wave, So you know, 248 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: it might have to be a little bit more patient 249 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: than last year. We're kind of the the big hitters 250 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: were off the board quickly, but I think still some 251 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 3: exciting things to come. 252 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: Definitely, yep, lots to come in the next couple of days.
