Kudos to you guys, but 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.079 also to all you folks out there that are listening, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.640 that listen to us in June when there really is 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.000 no football other than kind of the underwear Olympics out there, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.119 that are still listening, still dedicated to this show. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:46.520 We appreciate you guys. 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.680 Podcast you guys have ever created, right. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.320 No, actually, actually the first one was a night it 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.440 was Talking Cowboys, but it was Nick and Mickey, and 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.720 then Nick walked off the show because he didn't feel 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.080 like he was getting enough airtime, literally walked off the 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.160 show in the middle of the show. And when we said, well, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.760 maybe we need to start a new podcast with. 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.799 Six thirty eight, we started at six thirty Mickey went 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.120 for eight minutes talking think about this really two people's 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.840 on the show and one guy starts it off for. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.800 Eight minutes without even mentioning, and Chris. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.480 Bean, I think, was running it on the other side. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.480 I was just walked off. I was like, you know, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.079 and I think I came back later. I don't remember exactly. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.239 But I mean, what are you gonna do? Eight minutes? 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.600 Come on? 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.880 You got you know, patients and me doesn't work together, 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.040 and that that is a long time for a show. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.960 You guys out there might not know Nick personally, I'm 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.160 guessing from being on the air listening to him you 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.480 probably get the sense. And I will tell you for 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.840 a fact, it is true that that is so on 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.080 brand for him. Like literally eight minutes he was just like, 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.400 I'm not needed here, take a walk out. You got 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.680 to remember that is I know, after minute in he'd 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:54.200 probably be. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.120 Like, I'm I have done a segment on radio where 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.840 a guy worked with talked for eighteen minutes straight, Oh 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:02.880 eighteen minutes? 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.440 Who's the host? Why didn't host shut that down? 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:11.440 It was the hard question, and it was when we 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.200 were all doing radio and we didn't have sports and 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.240 stuff like that, and it's tough, you know that, that's 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.360 the Yeah, that was a tough I hope we never 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.040 go back to. I hope all our social issues and 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.719 so I know they're not all going to go away, 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.400 but there were there were times where man, we were 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.640 all going after each other here and that I just man, 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.560 that was one of those uncomfortable times of doing not 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.159 just that time, but just doing radio in general. I'm 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.039 so grateful again for the fans that can listen to 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.360 our sports commentary, because that's what we do best. Everything 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.040 else we're just kind of like probably over our heads, 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:45.600 you know. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.840 And me and Mickey are fine, there's no issues. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.360 I was always wondered why Derek said, listen, you and 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:51.440 Micky ever want to do the show. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.360 Mickey and I we go out each other. I have 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:55.800 a lot of respect for Mickey, no doubt. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.200 I don't always agree with Mickey, but man, I'll tell 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.320 you what, he will not back down, you know, he. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:02.360 He doesn't. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.280 I mean one time, like I say, we went on 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.680 a break and there was he was m F and me, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.279 and I was m F and him, and. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.200 We came were dying to know all the insight on 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.479 that this plastic we're gonna go to break. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:16.320 Yeah. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.080 I was sitting right where Amber was and he was 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:24.440 there and Rob Phillips, Rob probably Rob Phillips said guys, guys. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.279 And I looked at Rob and I said, you shut 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.000 the f up? 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.040 And Rob, Rob goes. Rob did this. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.640 He did the he did our. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.080 Our thing where he just threw his hands up and 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.080 said okay, okay. And to Mickey's credit, when we went back, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.720 when Beams says coming back and we both went back. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:43.200 Into the show. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.200 But yeah, you know, Mickey, he's a battler man. I 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.240 mean he and I. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.080 Like I said, I I have a lot of respect 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:50.479 for him. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.760 We just don't like each other and we really don't. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.880 But I respect the man. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:05:59.880 We were going. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.080 Well, I think it's important.

I mean, but 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.880 he ain't taken me to go eat pizza. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:11.240 You know. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.480 It's okay. Man, I respect him, man, I really do, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.240 because he will fight your ass. 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.200 He will fight you. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.560 He definitely will. All right, let's jump in. We've got 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.760 so many topics we're trying to hit today. As I said, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.159 this is our final show before we head to a 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.560 little break, so we're going to continue. We have to 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.480 finish up our twenty twenty three offseason review today. We're 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.280 going to focus in on the secondary and the defensive line. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.400 Before we get to that, though, there were some news 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.840 and notes that came out of the mini camp that's 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.560 happening right now that I wanted to hit up on, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.960 give me an injury up day first, Nick on Tony 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.120 Pollard and Jordan Lewis, what do we know about them 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:44.400 right now? 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.279 Well, Tony Pollard, you know, there's been no setback there. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.480 This is just a guy that's going off of coming 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.800 off of a couple of injuries from obviously from the 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.159 playoff game, and so he's going to continue to work 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.600 with you know, Britt Brown on the side. They sprinkle 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.120 him in with some of the team stuff because you 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.320 got to remember this is installation as well, so and 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.520 this is somewhat of a new offense. So yes, he's 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.520 gonna you know, he's not gonna be left behind. But 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.360 at the same time, they're just being smart with how 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:15.320 how they use him. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.520 Yeah, that's what you know. To me. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.040 The history here though, with the injuries and stuff like that, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.920 we've we've always learned this at OTA's mini camps. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.640 It was you know, if you could see. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.760 Guys on cords working, you kind of had an idea 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.440 that Okay, now let's see what happens at training camp. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.480 I think that's really the most important thing, The fact 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.160 that he when one of the first practices that we 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.120 got to watch a couple of weeks ago that he 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.400 was actually, as Nick mentioned, sprinkled in. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.280 That was very encouraging to me. I'm like, oh, they're 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:44.720 not holding him back right now. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.840 So hey, as long as when we get to ox Snart, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.840 as long as all those guys are on the field 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.240 stretching in practice, and I think that's the most important 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.920 thing right now. But guys are coming off some some 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.320 pretty serious injuries, but it looks like they're going in 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.160 the right direction as far as getting them back out 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:00.000 there and getting them ready to go. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:01.760 Jordan willis. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:04.880 Gonna be on PUP. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.440 And it's interesting when you interview or talk to the 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.240 player and then you talk to other people. The player 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.440 always is like I'm good, I'm good. I hate right 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.880 now and then but but so he's gonna go on 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.600 PUP and what that means physically unable to. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.600 Perform funny or vice versa, because you get some of 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.520 the training trainers be like that person is good, and 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.880 then the players like already yeah. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.120 So yeah, yeah. It goes both ways for sure. But 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.680 starting on PUP, which is when they'll do it on 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.520 the first day of training camp. Uh, they'll they'll designate him. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.160 That's when you have to do it. He can come 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.960 off of it at any time during camp. Uh, he 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.680 still counts to the ninety man roster, and but you 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.600 have to put them there. So then when you get 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.000 to the end of training camp start of the regular season, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.400 if they want to move him to reserve pup, that 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.080 will be that will remove him for four games. So 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.720 and and there's no coming off of that till four games. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.080 So you know, that's the decision that they made with 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.880 Gallup last year. If you remember, Gallup was went to pup, 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.079 was stayed on it all year all I mean, I'm sorry, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.360 all of camp and then they took him off even 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.440 though he wasn't ready to play until I think the 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.040 third or fourth game, fourth game, fourth game, right, So 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.240 you know, they they could have probably left him on there. 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.920 It's just the decision that they have to make. But 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.320 what that means to me is that Jordan Lewis is 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.200 not ready to play anytime soon because they know going 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:27.480 into training camp he won't be there. 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.120 Yeah, that's and and something new for us is also 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.840 the rosters will stay intact for all through training camp, 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:35.839 so there's no cut down until the very end. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.680 Oh yeah, so that's eighty nine. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.640 No, no, no, they're gonna play this scene. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.240 They got the three pres three preseason games that are 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.680 going to carry this roster through, so a lot of 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.679 these guys will get the opportunity and then we'll have 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.840 one final cut. You know, you're absolutely right. A great 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.920 description of how the pup system works here. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.000 All right, let's move on. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.559 Let's talk about a little bit of news that came 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.160 from Stephen Jones earlier this week. 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.160 He says he was. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:09:59.880 Two squast game. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.720 No, I'm excited about that now, I'm sure you are. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.520 I'm very, very excited. It's gonna be right here in Dallas. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:05.160 You don't have to travel. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.960 But Steven was talking about the extensions that are coming 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.120 up and there are a lot of players and to 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.200 me an inordinately large number of players speaking to how 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.800 well they've drafted that will be coming up here due 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.680 for some really big contracts over the next couple of years. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.200 He says that he's really seeking more than one extension 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.720 before camp, so he's really putting out there he wants 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.760 to get this done. Obviously, some of the players, according 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.520 to him, may not be in as much of a hurry. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.480 My question for you have two questions. One is which 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.400 one do you think is most likely to get done? 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:37.400 And which one do you. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.679 Think is the most challenging to get done? And I'm 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.920 talking about Lamb, Digs, Dax Steele. You name any one 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.440 of those, any others you might want to throw in, 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.160 But what do you think is the most likely to 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:46.520 get done? 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.040 What do you think is most challenging to get done? 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.199 The most challenging I bet we could say together is Digs. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.320 I mean that's. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:59.680 Because okay, he he's gonna get paid. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.600 He want to be paid as the highest paid corner 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:02.160 in the league. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.040 And if you look at the money and you look 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.880 at the guys, know that's it's the guy. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.000 From Green Bay, Zaire Alexander. 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.040 Alexander, and I believe Denzel Ward. I think those are 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.040 the top two corners. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.680 Well, well, Ramsey's still up there. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.480 I think those are the three that are twenty north 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:19.800 if you get a new deal with Miami. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.280 Yeah he did well. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.840 I think they moved around money is what they did. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.560 But at one time he was one of the guys that. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.080 Those three are the ones north of twenty million a year. Well, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.440 there's nothing that tray Von Diggs has done that suggests 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.960 that he shouldn't be in that group, So why not. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.840 He also has a brother in the league that that's 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.080 been through this kind of stuff, and I'm sure that 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.120 he It's just he's not gonna make it easy, nor 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.319 should he, And I think that was just gonna be 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.040 a little bit of a challenge to get to to 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.679 get both sides done there, and that's the one where 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.160 the deadline is probably a little bit more pressing because 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.840 he's the longer this goes to this year. I mean, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.679 what if he has three, four or five interceptions early 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.040 in the year, then it's like the price tag is 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.280 going to keep going out right. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.880 And right now. I mean, despite what he has done, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.920 and I think he's a very talented player and he's 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.920 contributed a lot on the team, but there's also a 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.800 lot of criticism that came out from last year and 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.160 kind of the level or his lack of maybe not 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.160 tackling properly or as much as he should or how 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.480 he should. So I think that plays into the Cowboys 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:30.360 advantage maybe, But we know that Trevon Diggs, he has 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.920 that kind of personality where he's confident of what about 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.560 what he can bring to the table. So it'll be 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.440 interesting to see how that plays out. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.640 Yeah, if you look at the numbers, like Nick was 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.960 talking about, jyr Alexander's over twenty one million a year, 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.000 Denzel Ward is at twenty million a year, rams He's 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:51.360 still at twenty million a year, Marlon Humphrey at nineteen million, 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.440 Marshawn Lattimore at nineteen million, and Exaviant Howard from the 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.640 Dolphins at eighteen million. So that's kind of the that's 0:12:58.640 --> 0:12:59.960 where your starting point right here. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.040 Yeah, that's what I wouldn't think if the agent, that's 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:03.600 what I would do. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:03.960 Well. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.640 The thing about it is that you know, he he 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.760 and you don't have that fifth year option to play 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.240 with here, you can play with the tag. 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.680 I don't know what the new tag numbers are for corners. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.640 You know that's obviously going to go up, especially with 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.280 everybody the top guys making you know, north of eighteen 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.000 million dollars. So yeah, this could be a This is 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.040 going to be a tough one. The one I think 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.920 that gets done is Dak. I think that's the one 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.760 that gets done because I think that and this is 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.239 just me, guys, I ain't talking to anybody in the organization. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.760 I'm just this is my I think the way we've 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.640 seen how Todd Frantz wants to negotiate, he wants to 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.320 keep the contract short so he can get his guy 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.679 back to the table in a short amount of time. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.240 So you know, I would anticipate maybe you know, three 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.360 years something like that sometimes hype of an extension, get 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.680 his guy back to the table pretty quickly if he can. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.400 As the as the contracts continue to go up, that's 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:57.679 the one. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.880 I think the Cowboys have to take care first, because 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.600 that's the massive cap hit that they're looking at right now. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.480 But Todd Franz is not a fun guy to deal with. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.760 He fights tooth and nail for his guys, and rightfully, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.120 so you know, the Cowboys understand that they've done this before, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.840 They've been through this dance. I think the Dak one 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.800 will be the one they wanted to work on. Diggs 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.440 would probably be the next one, and they've got a 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.760 little time for CD. But I wish they could have 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.160 had a way where they could have staggered these contracts 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:24.760 a little more. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.520 It seems like they're all hitting on the books, and 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.560 that's what you do when you draft really well, yeah, 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.720 these contracts hit all at the same time, and that 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.200 makes it a little bit difficult. But Adam and those 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.200 guys are good at doing this. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.960 And as soon as you get those guys done, those 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.880 three and you're like, here comes trying to put your 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.440 feet up, Here comes the lion. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.440 Yeah, and that's gonna be I. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:48.720 Mean, they know that. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.560 And it's funny because you're thinking about where would you 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.640 where would you play Parsons? Is he an edge or 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.920 is he a linebacker? And you start to think about 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:57.360 the money. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.440 His agent's gonna be like, oh, he's an age. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.680 Well yeah, you ask people in the organization you know 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.240 that that I know, and it's like they know, they don't. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.600 It doesn't matter. You pay the guy that's that well, it's. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.960 Hard to say when you got a guy that's that's 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.800 a defensive Player of the Year candidate. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.640 Legitimately, yes, almost every year. He's been every year. So 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:15.920 so you know, you. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:21.400 Just got to pay that rights. They players in the league, 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:21.960 and he should be. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.560 That's exactly there. They they it's not like it's there's 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.800 any question. It's like they know what they're up against 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.920 right now, and in a good way that it's great 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.640 to have players that are great. It's better than the 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.640 pay players that aren't great, which a lot of teams 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.320 have gone through to their Their. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.200 Question is just how do you move money around for him? 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:40.800 Like how do you how do you make that all 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:41.960 work with your salary? 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.240 That's that's really that's what the quarterbacks to come in 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.200 kind of we got to get the quarterback done. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:51.040 Yeah, well, see, to me, I would think CD sounds 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.240 like a pretty given thing that you would make because 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.800 you don't. You currently don't have anyone who would be 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.760 his quote unquote successor, Like who's going to take up 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.360 the role? You don't and you just made him your 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.800 number one receiver just last year. So I would imagine 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.800 that's a pretty I don't know on his end and 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.600 his camp what they're trying to do. Obviously, you try 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.800 to get the best money, the best amount of money possible, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.800 But I think for the Cowboys, I don't I mean, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.120 I don't see any how would why do you extend 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.840 that as far as like timing and getting that done. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.360 If I give you Terry mcclurin from the Washington Commanders 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.440 as the benchmark. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.960 He's farther down the list though, right as far as 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:35.800 like he's. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.600 I'm giving you a starting point. Yeah, twenty three million 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.960 dollars year year. Yeah. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.680 And I want to say, Lauren, I want to say 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.160 he's like fifth or six in the league. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:48.880 Actually it's it's Tarik Hill at thirty, Davante Adams at 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.680
