Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola eleven oh one on Monday, March thirteenth.
Speaker 1: Everson Walls, I've got a proposal for you, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer you one year at the veteran minimum.
Speaker 1: One point two million dollars is your salary, okay, And
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer you a roster bonus due September
Speaker 1: first of twenty four million dollars, your number, twenty four
Speaker 1: collion dollars. Will you accept my offer and become a
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy once again? I will say no, he's making
Speaker 1: more money doing You're supposed to say. You're supposed to say,
Speaker 1: what's my workout bonus? So I will give a down, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: what Everson thinks? Everson? You might need an agent, Okay,
Speaker 1: you might need an agent. I just offered you a
Speaker 1: one year, one point two million dollars that's your base salary, okay,
Speaker 1: which you will not see any of that money until
Speaker 1: you play in a game and a roster bonus do
Speaker 1: September first of twenty four million dollars. I can make it.
Speaker 1: You can make it. See that's right, Micky. Do you
Speaker 1: think he'll see that twenty four million dollars? No, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take the one point. I'll Bloys have a big
Speaker 1: need at cornerback, Everson, and so I suggest that you
Speaker 1: work your fanny off the next six months. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go get that hunchback lady, and we are going to
Speaker 1: get on the boat and she's gonna get me in shape.
Speaker 1: I'll that is what's going on around the National Football
Speaker 1: League right now because the legal tampering window is now
Speaker 1: officially open. Why do they call it tampering? There? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sound right at all? Negotiating, That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 1: Legal tampering. That doesn't legal negotiating, and go go on
Speaker 1: right now, but you can't sign anything until March fifteenth.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty good proposal forever. Since
Speaker 1: that is a great I'm glad you considered me. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's right, and he would only need to be the
Speaker 1: third corners. Someone's already calling Everson right now. He's got
Speaker 1: another offer on the table from another team, SPA, Spags
Speaker 1: wouldn't offer me that. You know, you can just tell
Speaker 1: if he was part of management, he would be like, no,
Speaker 1: we don't need him. But you you're a good man.
Speaker 1: You're a good man, and it's not going to cost
Speaker 1: me any money, not at all. All right, here we are,
Speaker 1: which doesn't cost anybody on talk radio any money either.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right. The new year will officially
Speaker 1: start at three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, but the legal
Speaker 1: negotiating period is open right now and I can't wait
Speaker 1: to get on Twitter to find out what deals are
Speaker 1: coming down right now or trades, Yeah, trades as well.
Speaker 1: It's already been a hectic weekend, starting was it on Friday?
Speaker 1: When the Bears traded away they number one overall pick
Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers. A pretty good trade for the Bears,
Speaker 1: I think, because I'm thinking they're going to give Justin
Speaker 1: Fields one more chance, right, But they ended up with
Speaker 1: two first round picks and one of them's next year,
Speaker 1: So if Fields doesn't work out, they've got two first
Speaker 1: round picks in twenty twenty four to be able to
Speaker 1: maneuver to get a quarterback. If justin Fields is really bad,
Speaker 1: they could have the number one big anyway. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: if he or if c. J. Stroud or Bryce Young
Speaker 1: are really bad for the Carolina Panthers, they might have
Speaker 1: the number one pick. Right. Okay, so this this narrative
Speaker 1: on Fields, I've seen the guy played. He did very
Speaker 1: well against us, against our defense. I mean, we had
Speaker 1: to keep scoring so we could secure the game. I
Speaker 1: thought they played pretty well. Right, But he's the kind
Speaker 1: of person. He's in the position of you can put
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks back there you want, if you don't
Speaker 1: have the other pieces, then you still have the same problem.
Speaker 1: So why do they keep thinking it's justin Fields as
Speaker 1: opposed to it being the offensive line, as opposed to
Speaker 1: you have no running back behind you, as opposed to
Speaker 1: who are your wife receivers? Again? Well, now they got
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Okay, one one, that's a start. That's a start. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and you have two first round picks, so they can
Speaker 1: do some business this year if you if you use
Speaker 1: those picks correctly, right, and hopefully use it as part
Speaker 1: of the offensive line or whatever's going to relieve your
Speaker 1: quarterback from having to run all over the place just
Speaker 1: to save his own life. And remember they traded for
Speaker 1: Claypool on the trade deadline last year, so they got
Speaker 1: some pretty good wisa. Okay, there you go. And remember
Speaker 1: this about the Chicago Bears is they are so far
Speaker 1: under the salary cap right now. They can be a
Speaker 1: very big player in free agency, can make some big
Speaker 1: mistakes or make some big hits. In fact, they have
Speaker 1: to start spending money because they're so far below the
Speaker 1: salary cap right now, they can't reach their percentage of
Speaker 1: what they have to spend. Yeah. Yeah, but when I
Speaker 1: do look at Fields, I don't see the accuracy coming
Speaker 1: out of college the way I do with Stroud. Okay,
Speaker 1: the way I saw it with Young. But I still
Speaker 1: saw and still see a hell of a player. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you were the GM of the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: you they had the option there stick with Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: or they got the number one pick, they could go
Speaker 1: with C. J. Stroud. What would you have doing? I'd
Speaker 1: stick with Fields? Okay, the guys pretty damn good man.
Speaker 1: I think you got to give him another year. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to, I mean right now, plus the first
Speaker 1: round pick. You can't just okay, we're done it. Yeah
Speaker 1: he was. He was stroud when he came out, right,
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden he's no good. You
Speaker 1: have to put the guys around him. I hope they
Speaker 1: end up doing that. According to over thecap dot com,
Speaker 1: the Bears have seventy five million dollars in cap space
Speaker 1: right now. They're taking a slow baby steps as opposed
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, which I saw was fifty five million over.
Speaker 1: So they still got moves. They got a mate before
Speaker 1: they could even do business trying to find a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Although I think I saw something they were going to resign,
Speaker 1: uh Trask, Right, they already have him. He's under Kyle
Speaker 1: Trask is the only quarterback on the under contract. Saw.
Speaker 1: I think I saw some people bailing now. It seemed
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are leaving Tampa. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: just Brady. Well they have to. Yeah, that's what happens
Speaker 1: when you sign a quarterback for all that money and
Speaker 1: he decides I'm gonna retire. Well, he didn't have any
Speaker 1: any years left on that contract. Make he signed a
Speaker 1: one year deal last year. Yeah, but I think they
Speaker 1: had some dummy money passed over to this year. I'd
Speaker 1: need to go look at it. Well, but if if
Speaker 1: he was coming back then. But those other guys, there's
Speaker 1: so many unrestricted free agents on that Tampa Bay roster
Speaker 1: that it was all set up to coincide with Brady's
Speaker 1: contract anyway. All right, so what about these Dallas Cowboys, Well,
Speaker 1: they should be under the salary cap now, and how
Speaker 1: did they do that? Making and once the salary cap
Speaker 1: kicks in three pm on Wednesday? But they did what
Speaker 1: we suggested, that they restructure das contract and Zach Zack
Speaker 1: Martin's contract, reducing their base salaries. I think both of
Speaker 1: them got to reduce to one point seven million and
Speaker 1: paid them restructure bonus on guaranteed money. For Dax, so
Speaker 1: he was going to get it one way or the other.
Speaker 1: Doing it this way, he ends up getting it up
Speaker 1: front twenty nine point three million, but his base salary
Speaker 1: for this year dropped, or his cap hit dropped from
Speaker 1: forty nine million to twenty seven million, So they cleared
Speaker 1: up a whole bunch of money. Moves are being made, guys,
Speaker 1: they are, and they will probably have a couple more
Speaker 1: that they need to make. If they're going to keep
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, then they need to restructure or his thirteen
Speaker 1: point six million the way they did zach Zax was
Speaker 1: thirteen point five million, and they restructure that and got
Speaker 1: his cap hit down to eleven million for this coming year.
Speaker 1: So they need to do that with Tyrn and if
Speaker 1: they're keeping Zeke at ten point nine million dollar base,
Speaker 1: they'll restructure that and they need to keep working on
Speaker 1: And it's not that it's a big cap hit this year,
Speaker 1: but it will be next year. Extending Ceedee Lamb who's
Speaker 1: going into the final year of well the fourth year
Speaker 1: of his contract, the fifth year, if they picked that up.
Speaker 1: The option by May first, I believe it is, the
Speaker 1: fifth year is nineteen point seven million, So they got
Speaker 1: to keep looking down the road and they could extend
Speaker 1: the fifth year options nineteen point seven million. Yes for
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Wow, Yeah. Wide receivers are starting to
Speaker 1: get paid in this Yes they are. They're very important.
Speaker 1: So there's a chance. And his base for this year
Speaker 1: two point five million is guaranteed, so he knows he's
Speaker 1: making that. If he wants a signing bonus on an extension,
Speaker 1: he can make a heck of a lot more and
Speaker 1: not have to wait. And usually if guys are getting
Speaker 1: good advice, you don't want to play that last year
Speaker 1: of your base salary because you never know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Dak Prescott, he was lucky. So yeah, So
Speaker 1: those are three things that going forward they can do
Speaker 1: along with trying to start. You know, you think they
Speaker 1: got all this money, right, well, take ten million of
Speaker 1: that away to be able to resign, I mean, to
Speaker 1: do your draft. I think they're with the compensatory picks
Speaker 1: they picked up there right around ten million dollars for
Speaker 1: their rookie pool, and you need ten million, seven to
Speaker 1: ten million capital to kind of get through the season.
Speaker 1: They try to save that because you're gonna have other things.
Speaker 1: So it's not like because they were over like about
Speaker 1: I think one of the figures I saw they were
Speaker 1: sixteen million over. So this gets them under, but this
Speaker 1: doesn't get them to go out into free agency and
Speaker 1: spend a whole bunch of big money, big money on
Speaker 1: what on whatever? We what do we want? I would
Speaker 1: like to see them resign Donovan Wilson. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much that's gonna cost. I think that's I would
Speaker 1: love to see them resign Layton vander Esh but I
Speaker 1: don't know how much that. You know, market value is
Speaker 1: gonna dictate what goes on here, uh, these next couple days,
Speaker 1: because these guys are gonna go out there there, guys
Speaker 1: are gonna search and go, Okay, let me see what
Speaker 1: I'm worth, you know, and then you come back to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and say, Okay, I can do this or
Speaker 1: I could do that. How bad you Lee? Do you
Speaker 1: want me back? Otherwise you're doing a lot of rebuilding
Speaker 1: at those two positions for sure. Because Anthony bar is
Speaker 1: a free agent. I don't know that you want to
Speaker 1: sign him to a long term deal, but you you know,
Speaker 1: if if you're gonna use Micah Parsons as a defensive
Speaker 1: end whatever percentage of time, then you need linebackers. So
Speaker 1: to me, linebackers, safeties, corners, heck, wide receiver, you name
Speaker 1: the position. I'll give you a reason the Cowboys needed.
Speaker 1: I think if you prioritize, like what's most important, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to prioritize. I would. I would definitely try
Speaker 1: to get that that second wide receiver. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on out there, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: movement being made veterans leaving teams. Adam I think Adam
Speaker 1: Feelin's out there from the Vikings. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I want to get that old, but yeah, he is available.
Speaker 1: You don't want to get old on OBJ either, then,
Speaker 1: do you? No, I don't want to sign age, you know,
Speaker 1: like a guy that's probably on his getting ready to
Speaker 1: have his third contract, that's getting older. You gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting on the linebacker situation as we'll
Speaker 1: see the market being set. I mean, Layton vander esh
Speaker 1: is an unrestricted free agent as of Wednesday at three pm,
Speaker 1: and reportedly the Jets agreed to a contract with Quincy
Speaker 1: Williams three years, eighteen million dollars, who's coming off two
Speaker 1: straight one hundred tackle seasons linebacker there, so that could
Speaker 1: be the market being set there. As far as Layton's concerned,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But um so three years five to
Speaker 1: six million yeah per year? Yeah I do. That guy
Speaker 1: had a hundred tackles and he missed the last three
Speaker 1: regular season game. Who is this vandersh Okay? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: the same thing with Donovan Wilson. Um he led the
Speaker 1: team with one hundred night tackles. Um. Now, what value
Speaker 1: do you put on a I don't know, do you
Speaker 1: call him a free safety? Strong safety? Just the safety
Speaker 1: I think in today's NFL you're starting to put more
Speaker 1: value on the safety position. And consider Donovan Wilson using
Speaker 1: them in a hybrid situation. More people doing that, showing
Speaker 1: more versatility from the safety position, not cornerback position, but
Speaker 1: from the safety position. Some can actually play corner, some
Speaker 1: linebacker and they could play safety to me linebacker. And
Speaker 1: that's what Bill saying that money needs. He had five
Speaker 1: sacks last year, led the league by the way for
Speaker 1: the safeties and tied to Cowboys franchise record and sacks
Speaker 1: and what. And the Cowboys started three safeties Bill Bates,
Speaker 1: Bill before Bates got transition to specialties. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think those those two guys for sure. Uh
Speaker 1: and there was a long list. You know, do you
Speaker 1: like Cooper Rush? You know, what are you gonna do
Speaker 1: for a backup quarter You know, everybody's saying, well they
Speaker 1: got a draft a quarterback backup of the future. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: whoever you draft has to be better than Will Greer,
Speaker 1: because if he's not, then there's no sense taking the guy. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, they got they got work to do, uh
Speaker 1: for sure, without going out and you know, making the
Speaker 1: big splash hit on a name got to be careful
Speaker 1: in free agency by signing names. You've got to look
Speaker 1: and see Number one, why the team there with doesn't
Speaker 1: want to resign them or allowing them to go into
Speaker 1: free agency. That's the first question you've got to answer.
Speaker 1: Why is that happened? Now? Could be cap reasons, right, Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: but it's not like you got all this money to
Speaker 1: splurge sometimes, like in the I think in the in
Speaker 1: the Jalen Ramsey incident, I think it's just you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're cleaning house. They're cleaning house. I think, well,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cups, they're trying to get rid of him. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Now you've got Jalen Ramsey's gone, you've
Speaker 1: got I don't know if Jalen's contract was that hard
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Well, let's come back to that.
Speaker 1: Just second. We're talking about like Vanderesh. Would Abraflus be
Speaker 1: interested in Vanderesh? Oh? I bet well? The reportedly already
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reporting that the Bears. We just talked about
Speaker 1: the Bears, that they're all the money they got to spend.
Speaker 1: H Eagles free agent linebacker T J. Edwards plans to
Speaker 1: sign with Chicago Bears. And he's at one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five tackles last season, so maybe that takes the
Speaker 1: Bears off the what's the reported salad? I haven't seen
Speaker 1: that that has been go ahead for I was getting
Speaker 1: ready to say with Ramsey he had two years at
Speaker 1: seventeen and seventeen point five million guaranteed. So you do that, well,
Speaker 1: do you want to resign your cornerback? Because that's coming up? Right?
Speaker 1: You might have to make a and I don't Ramsey?
Speaker 1: Is he thirty? Yes, at least at least you gotta
Speaker 1: be And again you gotta be careful on that age.
Speaker 1: I saw one and you know, if you believe these metrics,
Speaker 1: I he got charged with giving up seven touchdowns red
Speaker 1: Ramsey will turn twenty nine, okay in October, so that's
Speaker 1: not two old. But what is how tell you get
Speaker 1: to be this? When does he turn thirty? Though he
Speaker 1: already a year after that? Did he turn third twenty nine?
Speaker 1: This year? Almost twenty? Guy? Yeah, it's almost almost twenty.
Speaker 1: That's a difference than almost thirty. He could have turned
Speaker 1: thirty and July told was a long way away. I
Speaker 1: told was a long way away. I get it. I
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, but when in that situation, you've got
Speaker 1: a team that seems like they just dumping everybody, Well,
Speaker 1: they've got they got cap problems, and why do they
Speaker 1: have cap problems? They had to get that super Bowl? Okay,
Speaker 1: since we brought up Jalen Ramsey fifth pick in the
Speaker 1: draft in twenty sixteen, and remember seven years ago we
Speaker 1: were do the Cowboys take Zeke at number four? Or
Speaker 1: do they take Jalen Ramsey at number four? And see
Speaker 1: what's happened with you got Zeke and what's happened in
Speaker 1: his career where he is right now? And you had
Speaker 1: Ramsey and now he's on his third team going out,
Speaker 1: third team Jacksonville Rams and then now the Dolphins who
Speaker 1: were your cornerbacks in twenty sixteen. Byron Jones was one
Speaker 1: of them, and you had just spent a first round
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown was Anthony Brown was in that draft as
Speaker 1: a backup obviously, but he was a sixth round pick.
Speaker 1: Cotier Carwood's I can't remember, brain give me this, but anyway,
Speaker 1: it's just interesting now and you can go back and
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? I mean, if you compare, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Zelen Babson got a Super Bowl and You're not supposed
Speaker 1: to take a running back that high, right, Yeah. So
Speaker 1: and now you see what the Cowboys have done over
Speaker 1: the last seven years. And yeah, you had spent big
Speaker 1: money on Brandon Carr. I believe that he was probably
Speaker 1: close to the end of his contract. And you had
Speaker 1: spent a first round pick on Morris Claiborne back in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Yeah, he was still with him though in
Speaker 1: as a so here starting corners in twenty sixteen were
Speaker 1: who Morris Claiborne car and then they used at the
Speaker 1: one position because Claiborne got hurt. I think Orlando Scandrick
Speaker 1: and Anthony Brown. Aaron Jones was on the team. Uh,
Speaker 1: doesn't shows a usual draft pick. I mean starter. Jones
Speaker 1: didn't come till year sixteen. He was eighteen May. Okay,
Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen, that's right. Speaking to Byling Jones, he's gone,
Speaker 1: he's having issues. Well, I forget the fact that he's gone.
Speaker 1: That's what he said. He retired because he couldn't run
Speaker 1: or jump. He said, yeah, he's how you go from
Speaker 1: being the most athletic guy in the combines and now
Speaker 1: you can't run the jump? Was he taking shots? What's
Speaker 1: going on with this guy. Well he said he was,
Speaker 1: but he tore his achilles and it had it was
Speaker 1: more than just a torn achilles, So there was problematic
Speaker 1: after it was a problems Yeah right, Fortunately I didn't.
Speaker 1: So that's what the Cowboys wound up doing at cornerback
Speaker 1: The following year is when they drafted Byron Jones. Right,
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. I think, I think when if you're
Speaker 1: going to compare Ramsey and Zeke, that was that's a
Speaker 1: good comparison. Huh six and one. You want the super Bowl, Zeke,
Speaker 1: But man, you had a hell of a career. You
Speaker 1: have you're having a hell of a career. You had
Speaker 1: the NFL's leading rush, yes for what yes, two seasons
Speaker 1: and he was pretty he solidly. You know, you're on
Speaker 1: one team. You didn't go bounce the round. So and
Speaker 1: even that rookie season, I mean, they win the division
Speaker 1: and they're right there, man with a rookie quarterback they've
Speaker 1: taken in the fourth round. They were they were a man,
Speaker 1: they were a man. I don't think you can second yes,
Speaker 1: that pick. I can't. That all can't. And I even like,
Speaker 1: what did what did Jacksonville get? When I know what
Speaker 1: happened with Byron Jones twenty fifteen. He was the first round,
Speaker 1: That's what I thought, but they moved him to safety. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was looking at usual. I thought he was a
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, remember they moved Okay, all right, Yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: had me go in the wrong direction there, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if he had if you didn't have a
Speaker 1: running back at that point either. So you drafted the
Speaker 1: NFL's leading rusher. So I think we're good. And now
Speaker 1: when we come back here on Mike shots, what now
Speaker 1: with Zeke in just a moment. The Medal of Honor

Speaker 1: off the board reported three years, nineteen and a half
Speaker 1: million dollars deal, twelve million guaranteed, Bears signing T J. Edwards,
Speaker 1: and so there's your linebacker market. We all already talked
Speaker 1: about the Jets resigning Quincy Williams three years, eighteen million,
Speaker 1: probably about the same guarantee, I would assume. And those
Speaker 1: two teams probably have like Bokus of salary capital exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: we already established at the bearers. They know the Bearers
Speaker 1: do bocuk. Depends if you're a French or so we
Speaker 1: know ever ever since Cajun, since he went to Grambling, right,
Speaker 1: and you're creole, Okay, let's get the Cajun out of there.
Speaker 1: I'm Creole all right. By the way they played in
Speaker 1: their conference championship basketball team, man, that was some exciting
Speaker 1: stuff all weekend to a fourteen and nineteen team that's
Speaker 1: the Southern But they beat us all the time. They
Speaker 1: owned us in especially in basketball when it comes to
Speaker 1: the conference play. I don't know what's going on, but
Speaker 1: we had a chance to go I think for the
Speaker 1: first time in our basketball history to go to the
Speaker 1: Big Show. Really had a bit. That was it. That
Speaker 1: was right there. I think we were getting beat up
Speaker 1: pretty well, and then we came back and lost by
Speaker 1: about three points. But that was a frantic, you know
Speaker 1: rush at the end of the game. So back in
Speaker 1: the day, was Grambling one double A? No, they were.
Speaker 1: It was always Division one they were. We were one
Speaker 1: double A when I was there, That's what I meant.
Speaker 1: But before that, you know, doing the Winner's Read days
Speaker 1: and all of that Larry Right days, you know there
Speaker 1: was Division one. It was. I think they would I
Speaker 1: think they were lower than that, especially especially with with
Speaker 1: Willis Reid. When Wills Read was there. Man, now they
Speaker 1: want to play with the biggest boys. The history of
Speaker 1: Grambling basketball uh Division two, Level two NCAA Tournament appearances
Speaker 1: Division two nineteen fifty eight in nineteen seventy six fifty
Speaker 1: eight would have been will Us And and Okay. Grambling
Speaker 1: won the conference regular season championship this year. They also
Speaker 1: won it in twenty eighteen. Previously it was nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1: That's how dry it's been. That's been pretty dry. So
Speaker 1: there you go, and Missoi is in. They're in seventh seed.
Speaker 1: Beat Tennessee. Beat Tennessee. That's pretty good. And they had
Speaker 1: Alabama's sweating for a while. I knew they couldn't beat him.
Speaker 1: Alabama's very much. It's only really good teams can beat Alabama.
Speaker 1: Like the last place team in the Big twelve, Oklahoma
Speaker 1: beat him by twenty. And Oklahoma play and Oklahoma can't,
Speaker 1: can't make the nighteen and they beat the number one
Speaker 1: overall seed of the NCAA Tournament by twenty. They've got
Speaker 1: a that six nine guard. They have Miller telling you
Speaker 1: he's gone, yeah, and he's gonna be really good. I
Speaker 1: mean he can handle the ball, he can shoot through that.
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant looked to him, Yes he does. I'm impressed
Speaker 1: with ut The men's basketball. Yeah, so is everybody else,
Speaker 1: because everybody last night after at the end of the
Speaker 1: pick show or whatever they call it, every one of
Speaker 1: the guys on the panel had them going to the
Speaker 1: final against Alabama, every one of them. Yeah. Well you
Speaker 1: look at Texas basketball. Is the University of Houston still
Speaker 1: number one? Well they were. They lost Marcus Sasser out
Speaker 1: of Red Oak. They're growing in the sea. They are.
Speaker 1: They're in the number two overall set in the tournament.
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize the tournaments in Houston too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the final four state. It's all about Texas basketball.
Speaker 1: About Texas basketball. Now, that's the issue, the problem. And
Speaker 1: maybe they did this by design, so there wouldn't be
Speaker 1: two Texas teams in the Final four. But Houston and
Speaker 1: Texas and Texas A and M are in the same region,
Speaker 1: and so the second round matchup could be Texas against
Speaker 1: A and M. Which would Texas to kill him? I
Speaker 1: think Texas to kill him. I love you know what
Speaker 1: I you know what I love about what they call
Speaker 1: a trending. They're playing better as the season goes on. Um,
Speaker 1: you know what I loved about watching Texas against Kansas
Speaker 1: the other day. I love their bet they beat them.
Speaker 1: That their bench, I mean, their bench is so into
Speaker 1: the game. They were having so much fun, and I
Speaker 1: think it's a tribute to that coach. I mean they
Speaker 1: should have already said you're our You're our permanent coach
Speaker 1: going forward, Rodney Terry. I mean not to mention the players,
Speaker 1: well you know what they have to go through when
Speaker 1: you lose your coach, you know, doing doing the city
Speaker 1: like come on, and he is just steady, Eddie stays
Speaker 1: And the love that they showed to him after the game, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was very cool. Yeah, the interview that that lets
Speaker 1: you know the players are trying to speak to everyone
Speaker 1: at the University of Texas. This is the guy, you
Speaker 1: know who I spoke to more than anybody who is
Speaker 1: that recruits nice you know. Yeah, and they see that
Speaker 1: interview and they they see the players on yeah, well
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah him. And he's got a history at
Speaker 1: Texas too. He was for nine years. He was assistant
Speaker 1: coach under Rick Barnes at Texas. Then he got a
Speaker 1: couple of head coaching jobs president State in UTEP and
Speaker 1: back for a second year as an assistant now the
Speaker 1: interim head coach. But I mean, yeah, get that thing done.
Speaker 1: That's why Missouri gave their guy an extension after just
Speaker 1: this first year to one point five to four million
Speaker 1: a year. If you have a connection with the players,
Speaker 1: and the university has to take that to consideration, they
Speaker 1: have to yea, all right, back to Zeke. Yes, So
Speaker 1: what's going on with Zeke? You got Tony Pollard who
Speaker 1: was tagged last week? Okay, and now you got twenty
Speaker 1: seven million dollars on the cap dedicated to running Worry
Speaker 1: about that. Stop bringing up those specific It's the price
Speaker 1: of doing business, right. Look, think about this. Is Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard your lead running back twenty five touches a game
Speaker 1: right now? Today you're good. You're good with whoever's your backup,
Speaker 1: because if it's not, then you got Pollard and you're
Speaker 1: gonna spend money on a first round pick, right and
Speaker 1: that first round picks already gone. He's not lasted to
Speaker 1: twenty six Yeah, and I'm talking b John Robinson speaking
Speaker 1: of long ones. Man, I love that guy. I do too.
Speaker 1: And do you ever hear him talk? Yes, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: He is the real deal. I mean he is a
Speaker 1: barring injury. He is going to be a player for
Speaker 1: a long time. Trust our sales with a thought of
Speaker 1: a possibility that we have a chance. But I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can count on it. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you never know how people value run. Well, here's the
Speaker 1: all right, you do whatever with Zeke, okay in my opinion, okay,
Speaker 1: to work whatever out with him. It should not affect
Speaker 1: whatever you do with Zeke should not affect your decision
Speaker 1: at twenty six. And if, even though you got Pollard
Speaker 1: on a franchise tag, whatever, if you determine that Bijean
Speaker 1: Robinson is the best player for your football team in
Speaker 1: twenty six, I don't care that you've got Pollard and
Speaker 1: Zeke already on the team. You take Bijen Robins because
Speaker 1: you only have Pollard for one more year and there's
Speaker 1: no guarantee that he's the same guy after what happened
Speaker 1: with him with the injury. So that's one reason why
Speaker 1: they probably didn't sign him to a long term deal.
Speaker 1: And to your point, it's a two back system. And
Speaker 1: like with most every other team in the league. Yes,
Speaker 1: what I was going to say, both teams, all teams
Speaker 1: have two good running backs, at least two. We need
Speaker 1: to we need to catch right, we need to keep
Speaker 1: two running backs, So how are we going to keep
Speaker 1: two running backs? Well, thank god, the market doesn't pay
Speaker 1: well for top running backs, so it allows you to
Speaker 1: at least float with that more than you would any
Speaker 1: other position. And to me, we're at the best even
Speaker 1: with Polot situation. I think we could be a little
Speaker 1: bit comfortable right now in regards to our running back position,
Speaker 1: hoping that he comes back full strength. And you get
Speaker 1: running backs like Pollard and Bijon Robinson, you can use
Speaker 1: them in ways that go beyond a traditional running back.
Speaker 1: I mean the Pollard came into the league listed on
Speaker 1: the draft charts as a wide receiver. I mean I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I mean, he was what he did
Speaker 1: at Memphis. He was a number two guy basically, and
Speaker 1: they used him as a receiver as much as as
Speaker 1: a running back there. I mean, he's got that ability.
Speaker 1: In Bijon I think has the same ability where you
Speaker 1: can play him in the slot to put bundlefield at
Speaker 1: the same time. And he was a return guy exactly right. No,
Speaker 1: Poler's big time return guy at Memphis. Of course, there
Speaker 1: are no such things as returns in the NFL anymore.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think, I think, yeah, right. Uh. I
Speaker 1: just think with Zeke, so he's got ten point nine
Speaker 1: million base salary, you get rid of him, it's an
Speaker 1: eleven point eight million dollars cap hit, and you got
Speaker 1: to sign somebody else, right, So you got your sign
Speaker 1: somebody else. And yeah, so you got no human being
Speaker 1: for that cap hit, whether it's all hit this year
Speaker 1: or spread over to spread five asist cut. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and you have no you know, no sure replacement. Who's
Speaker 1: going to score those seven touchdowns from one yard out?
Speaker 1: You know you got somebody? Um, So yeah, I just
Speaker 1: think that you got to be careful. And I think
Speaker 1: if you maybe guarantee him that eleven million dollars and
Speaker 1: spread it over two years, I think he'd be meanable
Speaker 1: to that. Why wouldn't he be? Because his guy's got
Speaker 1: to know what the market is out there for running backs, right,
Speaker 1: That's what these next two days are. What's the market
Speaker 1: for a guy? That's what twenty nine, twenty eight, twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I believe it isn't same ages, right, although I think
Speaker 1: he turns his birthdays in July? Okay, but yeah, what's
Speaker 1: the market for you know, running back? On his he's
Speaker 1: actually a year younger than Jalen Ramsey's Turns twenty eight
Speaker 1: Turns twenty eight July twenty second, which usually if you
Speaker 1: go back in history and look at it, that's kind
Speaker 1: of the line of demarcation for running backs, Like after
Speaker 1: twenty eight, things kind of go downhill a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well of everyone unless you're amateurs are yeah right, I
Speaker 1: don't think he is um apparently, and especially running backs
Speaker 1: that have been used as much as Zeke has, right,
Speaker 1: and so um, yeah, you know, I understand, um, I
Speaker 1: understand pollards. You know what he does, the big hit, right,
Speaker 1: but is he the little hit time and time and
Speaker 1: time again, you know, or is he trying to hit
Speaker 1: the big one and then he loses me two yards?
Speaker 1: That that was all. And I understand how good Barry
Speaker 1: Sanders was and he was um, but he'll lose three
Speaker 1: or four yards on you trying to get ten. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't want to compare it. No, I'm not, I'm not, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that type of running. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I want the guy that's going to get those those dirty,
Speaker 1: those dirty yards right when you should get one and
Speaker 1: you get three and Barry retired at age thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well they could have played more, could have could have
Speaker 1: played more, but he decided to He was just pissed
Speaker 1: off of the coach. He detroits, wore wore him out
Speaker 1: when they when they hired Loss. I think it was
Speaker 1: that that pretty much did it. When did he retire,
Speaker 1: Like ninety two, ninety three, the year that he came,
Speaker 1: the year that the new coach came, he left his
Speaker 1: last year. Barry Sanders last year was nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 1: ninety eight, he went that first. Well, that's right, ninety
Speaker 1: because he came in about the time emmeted ninety eight,
Speaker 1: eighty eighty nine. He was third pick in the draft
Speaker 1: in eighty nine. So Sanders, yea, the same thing like
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. He retired early, right, and make me look
Speaker 1: him up now. I think he was he He wasn't
Speaker 1: much more than thirty if I remember correctly. His last
Speaker 1: year was nineteen sixty five, which would have put him
Speaker 1: at twenty nine years old. Yeah, but that was once again,
Speaker 1: two exceptions, Yeah, two exceptions. You're going, you're comparing him
Speaker 1: to these guys. I don't know if you want to
Speaker 1: keep doing that. I bet that second time you've done that,
Speaker 1: he was making more money. He was making more money
Speaker 1: making movies. Oh that's what it was all about, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: how old was Marrian Barber when he retired eight twenty eight?
Speaker 1: That that was a that was a hard Detroit twenty
Speaker 1: eight and running back the way he ran. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so yeah, going back to Zeke, I just think they
Speaker 1: need to rework it. And I can't imagine he would
Speaker 1: say no, he didn't want to leave. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: You don't have to take advantage of you give him
Speaker 1: his money, just spread it out over two years and
Speaker 1: see how it goes. So I'm sorry. So what they've
Speaker 1: what if ECLA is available? What if ECLA is available,
Speaker 1: we have a shot at him and we say, okay,
Speaker 1: we have a decision between he and Zeke. Oh, it
Speaker 1: would be between him and going forward with somebody else,
Speaker 1: because all he's a he's a yeah, but he's all
Speaker 1: down back though he ain't going for less than ten
Speaker 1: million a year. Guarantee you that. Zeke and Pollard, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and be shot. I'm okay with that. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's overkill, No, not at all. I mean, you look,
Speaker 1: we're the age, right, I mean we just went down
Speaker 1: the litany of running backs and they don't last that long,
Speaker 1: you know. You gotta look, the draft is not just
Speaker 1: about this year. It's about the next four or five years,
Speaker 1: especially with the first round pick, where you have I'm
Speaker 1: under control for five years exactly, absolutely, and and that's
Speaker 1: what I think there's people are so shortsighted, especially with
Speaker 1: free agency. It could because now next year, by the
Speaker 1: way I read where the CAP's gonna go up a bunch,
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest jump ever because the TV contract money
Speaker 1: goes in. So what is it? Is the banks stay solvent? Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1: Or a bank in California? Right? Um? What's the cap
Speaker 1: the cap jumped to? Is it two twenty four or
Speaker 1: two twenty eight this year? Something in that rate. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna get I saw our projection it would be
Speaker 1: in the two fifties next year when that money kicks in.
Speaker 1: And so we've already given that away to ever since
Speaker 1: September first situations, I want my all ca Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we have more breaking news. Oh yeah, back here on
Speaker 1: mix shots in just a moment. We paid how much
Speaker 1: for those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can

Speaker 1: when you don't read the whole thing all right, but
Speaker 1: it camp starts March fifteenth. Okay, Everson, if you were
Speaker 1: to make a comeback, what position do you think you
Speaker 1: would play? Safety? How about this? Giants for appending free
Speaker 1: agent safety Tony Jefferson has been playing safety his entire career,
Speaker 1: now ten years in the league. He says his objective
Speaker 1: right now is being on the field for every down
Speaker 1: as a linebacker and not just passing situations. So he
Speaker 1: is currently trying to put on weight so he can
Speaker 1: be a linebacker. Do you think you could play a
Speaker 1: linebacker and maybe replaced Donovan Wilson If the problem he's
Speaker 1: having is he's having problems keeping up with these quick
Speaker 1: ass wide He's like, you know what, I need to
Speaker 1: step down there. The trotting is going down there. So
Speaker 1: that could be an option for you, could be an option.
Speaker 1: Just just woke me out, baby, bring me along. Who
Speaker 1: Who's who's our guy? Who's our way guy? Who's our
Speaker 1: way guy, who's our wait and conditioning guy. Our nutritionist
Speaker 1: is Scott Sainer. So the traditionalist with the nutrition, the
Speaker 1: nutrition has getting me bigger on what the weight. The
Speaker 1: way we got work together on this, they were as
Speaker 1: a team can work with that hand in hand. Breaking
Speaker 1: news from around the National Football League, the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: have released Klaius Campbell. So there you go. That's big man, right.
Speaker 1: He is a big man, very big man. And he's
Speaker 1: like a Walter Peyton Man of the Year type big
Speaker 1: man too. He was a good guy character. Yep, how
Speaker 1: do you kalaiss Campbell? He's been pretty good? Yea, he has.
Speaker 1: Now he's up there in years and I bet his
Speaker 1: contract was probably up up there and in numbers, is well.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what happens with those guys, right, what
Speaker 1: guys when they get to that thirty something you know
Speaker 1: Campbell Campbell is will turn thirty seven first when you
Speaker 1: when you get your ruster. But we're talking Peter's status
Speaker 1: right ye who. By the way, it's a free agent
Speaker 1: because of Wednesday at three o'clock. You know what I
Speaker 1: changed my answer? Long snapper? Long snapper? That would be
Speaker 1: if I came back for another life. Okay, long snapper
Speaker 1: would be my choice, especially since they can't line up
Speaker 1: over you exactly, and you would be you would be
Speaker 1: he go down. Cowboys are looking for a long snapper
Speaker 1: because both of their are long snappers. Jake McQuaid and
Speaker 1: mad Overton are pending free agent. Let's look at this,
Speaker 1: and I don't even have to gain weight. I'm not
Speaker 1: no one. Yeah, I's no one's lining up now, and
Speaker 1: it'd be great. There's a lot of long snappers that
Speaker 1: are free agents. You don't have to worry about the punts.
Speaker 1: But because they could circle around and come over, you
Speaker 1: don't worry hide up the middle. I'm gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be running down there that fact. Think you were
Speaker 1: a long snapper and days weren't right. Did they circle
Speaker 1: around on you? Oh? I just did it for practice
Speaker 1: because the kickers didn't have anything to do at that time. Oh,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't gonna play defent, so Harold Harold Nash
Speaker 1: would take care of you. So if the Cowboys put
Speaker 1: some weight on you, I don't need So if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys had a need, like in training camp, for a
Speaker 1: long snapper, you could go out there and long snap
Speaker 1: like I've done that. Like the size of your long
Speaker 1: snapper makes a difference. It does not. They don't do
Speaker 1: anything now they jump right over you. Cowboys are in
Speaker 1: camp and McCarthy looks around. Let's say the long snappers
Speaker 1: tweaked the hammy or something and they just they need
Speaker 1: somebody to come snap. Can I get it back there?
Speaker 1: And like seven seconds instead of one point two. Man
Speaker 1: to the difference between your snap and the real guys.
Speaker 1: I have to go in once and play guard in
Speaker 1: a game sophomore year. And when we watched what we
Speaker 1: watched tape, it looked like, oh he had one person
Speaker 1: because it went boom. Wait wait wait, wait wait. They
Speaker 1: did not have tape back then. We had film film film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I must say, look like we had a four man line.
Speaker 1: I had an offensive guard that was your your size,
Speaker 1: Scott Krueger I think his name high school. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he was your shorter than you. That's what That's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons we want worth the crap. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen it and it does look very very well.
Speaker 1: We had billy Don Jackson played against Billy Don Jackson Sherman.
Speaker 1: This little guy played against Billy Don Jackson. Could you
Speaker 1: imagine how they went? Could you imag imagine how that went?
Speaker 1: I mean he just would pick him up and just
Speaker 1: set him aside and make him play. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: Billy Don Johnson against the guy you last in the past.
Speaker 1: I got it right, yeah, Sherman, Yeah, of course sixty three.
Speaker 1: It says here on his I don't know this in
Speaker 1: Wikipedia whatever it is sixty three two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: pound defensive lineman. He had to be three hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty pounds, you know, but back then it just and
Speaker 1: plus he was a man. I mean, he was built
Speaker 1: like your dad, and he played at UCLA, but he
Speaker 1: was he was by the way, you berkener Ram, are
Speaker 1: you going to give credit to the Lake Highlands Wildcats
Speaker 1: for what the state won the state championship basketball? He did? Yes? Wow,
Speaker 1: Lake Hylands. First time since nineteen sixty eight Highlands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not first time in fifty five years. Lake Highlands won
Speaker 1: the Class six A state championship there, led by the
Speaker 1: number one ranked June You're in the nation, Trey Johnson,
Speaker 1: who is a heck of a player. Is it was
Speaker 1: it fun from somewhere from Hamilton Park? I'm not sure
Speaker 1: because you know Hamilton Park. Hamilton Park kids go to
Speaker 1: Lake Hollands. We have too. That's out three two. It's
Speaker 1: Bugner Richardson, Lake Hollands. Okay, that's out to Hamilton's. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you have your choice? No, you did not. You
Speaker 1: know how you don't want all those black kids. But
Speaker 1: Hamilton Park is large enough. We can't have that. But
Speaker 1: Hamilton Park it's split up into three different part shapes. Okay,
Speaker 1: but well, you know at that time, the Junior highs Well,
Speaker 1: Richardson Junior High doesn't exist anymore, Forest Medals and Northwood. Okay,
Speaker 1: and of course Northwood doesn't exist anymore either. That lets
Speaker 1: you know we are old. We're now your school start
Speaker 1: closing down. It's an academy there somewhere or something. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're split into those three different part shapes, and we
Speaker 1: ended up fee into Bergner, Richardson and Lake Hollins. J J.
Speaker 1: Piace is like, yeah, all ain't coming over here. So
Speaker 1: somehow they weren't involved in this. This little division got
Speaker 1: another free agent signing thanks to the producers Supreme Grabeam. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's not a signing, it's not a signing, it's they've
Speaker 1: a great du a deal Denver giving former Ravens guard
Speaker 1: Ben Powers, the former Oklahoma Sooner, four years fifty two
Speaker 1: million dollars twenty eight and a half million guaranteed. That
Speaker 1: is old line you at Oklahoma how much? Four years
Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars twenty eight and a half million guaranteed.
Speaker 1: So seven million for a guard for a guard see that,
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern. As the time he says God, he kind
Speaker 1: of spits it out. Connor McGovern. By the way, there
Speaker 1: are two Connor McGovern's on the market this year as
Speaker 1: of three o'clock on Wednesday, both of them, huh, both
Speaker 1: of Connor McGovern the center for the New York Jets
Speaker 1: in our Connor McGovern. That'll be an interesting one, although
Speaker 1: I think I think a team with a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of cap space might give him a pretty good deal
Speaker 1: just because of his versatility. Guard center, could be a
Speaker 1: backup center, fullback. Should we review the Cowboys pending free
Speaker 1: agency as we close out the shop today? We can
Speaker 1: do that, and I would have one last question, but
Speaker 1: when we finished that is, what do you think the
Speaker 1: position of priority is for the Cowboys? Either free agency
Speaker 1: or draft? Okay, so let's run through offensive free agents
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys tied end Dalton Schultz, wide receivers t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton and Noah Brown, offensive tackle Jason Peters, quarterback
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, offensive guard Connor McGovern, Avion Collins who also
Speaker 1: plays tackle, and of course, well we haven't mentioned about
Speaker 1: Terrence Steel, the restricted free agent who has been tendered
Speaker 1: the second round draft choice and teams have until three
Speaker 1: o'clock on Wednesday to make that official. But the second
Speaker 1: round tender for Terrence Steel would amount to around four
Speaker 1: million dollars four point three. So there are your offensive
Speaker 1: free agents. Would you like me to run down the
Speaker 1: defensive free agents or would you'd like to discuss offensive
Speaker 1: free agents first? I would say, on almost the answer
Speaker 1: to every one of these is going to be market value.
Speaker 1: It's like, what's the market value for these guys? And
Speaker 1: can I do I have the means to be able
Speaker 1: to match whatever they think that market value is. They're
Speaker 1: going to have to find a offer and and give
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to match it. I think Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: is in one of the more unique situations. You got
Speaker 1: some good tight ends coming out of college, and you
Speaker 1: got some really good young tight ends on this team.
Speaker 1: As well your teammates. That's what that's kind of the
Speaker 1: prevailing notion, right if I don't have them. I spent
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick on Ferguson, Yes, fourth round, that's
Speaker 1: what I spent on Shoultz, Right, So is this guy
Speaker 1: ready might be a better blocker on the line of scrimmage? Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know about, you know, ability to get down field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I've never I don't know if
Speaker 1: they can get open in one on one Hendershot I
Speaker 1: think has that possible. So that's that's kind of what
Speaker 1: they've got away. What do we have here and can
Speaker 1: they make that second year or jump to what I
Speaker 1: have with Like, I'm not a good time to be
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent in the NFL as a tight end, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I just didn't. Some guys just get traded or
Speaker 1: somebody resigned, somebody The Patriots signed the guy I think
Speaker 1: they signed. Yeah, what you're talking about the Falcons signed
Speaker 1: John Smith. Went from the Patriots to the Falcons or
Speaker 1: it's going there I think for a seventh round draft now.
Speaker 1: John UW. Smith was one of the tight ends that
Speaker 1: the Patriots signed, one of those big free agent signings
Speaker 1: and right now they're getting a seventh round pick for
Speaker 1: him and what and there was a tight end involved
Speaker 1: in their Ramsey trade, wouldn't there? Hunter Long? Hunter Long? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So yeah, market value on all that, I don't know
Speaker 1: what Chelse is a good tight end, but he's not
Speaker 1: that athletic tight end everybody wants. But he's solid. But
Speaker 1: he's solid. So can I just give him a solid contract?
Speaker 1: I don't know what category that's here? Right? And then
Speaker 1: you know you would like Cooper rush back. Does anybody
Speaker 1: think he's a multimillion dollars or at least a backup? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean people paid three four million maybe for a backup.
Speaker 1: I don't know will the Chargers pay that? Good question?
Speaker 1: If you like, Oh I put that together, I know it.
Speaker 1: I know what tree you're parking up. Defensively, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have safety Donovan Wilson, linebacker Layton vander Esh, linebacker Anthony Barr,
Speaker 1: cornerback Anthony Brown, edge rusher Dante Fowler, special teams demon CJ. Goodwin, interior,
Speaker 1: your defensive lineman Jonathan Hankins, interior defensive lineman Carlos Watkins,
Speaker 1: and linebacker Luke Gifford. So to me, Wilson and Layton
Speaker 1: Vanderish are the priorities there. If I'm resigning somebody, Um,
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Brown, who by the way, has started
Speaker 1: his rehab like on field rehab on the Resistance Chords,
Speaker 1: but it's only steps. It's not like he's running yet
Speaker 1: or anything. Baby steps. And I've seen also m Jordan
Speaker 1: Lewis starting his field rehab also. Um. But if I'm
Speaker 1: if I'm Anthony Brown, I'm taking a one year deal, Um,
Speaker 1: whatever they tell me it's worth with incentives, so I
Speaker 1: can stay here and continue to rehab the ruptured Achilles.
Speaker 1: Don't want to have to go somewhere else on the
Speaker 1: defensive back right Achilles problem. Yeah, that's all we do
Speaker 1: is backpedaling plant And if they'll give me that one
Speaker 1: year kind of prove it deal, I would take it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and he might too. I mean he's he's getting
Speaker 1: close to that thirty, that plateau thirty rage. I knew
Speaker 1: that question was coming, and so he will turn thirty
Speaker 1: on December fifteenth, So that's twenty nine at the majority
Speaker 1: of the season. So yeah, and then the rest of
Speaker 1: those guys, Um, it's just market value. Would I like
Speaker 1: to have now Hankins is up there right in a yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: make me look that one up. If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: I saw Carlos making a lot of plays last year. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would like him back. Yeah, I just don't know
Speaker 1: how much I can. He's got to be a foot out,
Speaker 1: but I would like him back. Also, Jonathan Hankins will
Speaker 1: turn thirty one March thirty did I say thirty five? Geez?
Speaker 1: Thirty one thirty one March. Well, that's not unreasonable for
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. Takes space, yea three hundred and forty
Speaker 1: pounds worth of space. Yeah, so either one of those,
Speaker 1: whichever one I can afford. By the way, and then
Speaker 1: you're I'm sorry, go ahead, you're talking about offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: Another signing news, Chris Lindstrom, you're talking about offensive lineman. You,
Speaker 1: I would say probably Boston College. Chris Listrom out of
Speaker 1: Boston College. Got five years, one hundred and five million
Speaker 1: from Atlanta. That's average twenty one million a year, and
Speaker 1: that relates to the Cowboys. That does relate to the
Speaker 1: cowboys too, because market for guy Jane guards there you go,
Speaker 1: it relates to the Cowboys. The Governor's probably like if
Speaker 1: I could get half that I should have. Why why
Speaker 1: do we stuck playing guard? Nott Tyla Smith is like,
Speaker 1: put me back at guard please? Well, well, there is
Speaker 1: a Lyndstrom on the Cowboys roster. So there's that too, brother,
Speaker 1: if he could stay healthy, So maybe he's a future
Speaker 1: one hundred five million dollars player, right wo you know
Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of cap space if you can
Speaker 1: spend that on a guard. Didn't the Cowboys spend that
Speaker 1: on a guard? Yeah? Well, this guy's going to the
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame. Right Well, Lindstrom was the
Speaker 1: second team All Pro last year, so I'm sorry, Chris,
Speaker 1: that was a week come back. I don't think Martin
Speaker 1: was first, so he's not Larry Allen or Zach Martin. Right,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'll put up my Oklahoma offense of
Speaker 1: linemen against your Boston College. Boston College offensive linemen. I mean,
Speaker 1: go to the Kansas City. You got Creed hun Frege
Speaker 1: center about the Philadelphia with Lane Johnson at right tackle?
Speaker 1: Can I can I just throw this out and just
Speaker 1: add a guard that went for Flower much to Denver
Speaker 1: about Boston College? What's the guarantee, Trent will you? I
Speaker 1: didn't even mention Trent Williams Steward. What's the guarantee one
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, dude, because right now, what's happening with
Speaker 1: these contracts? Those are agent Those are agent numbers, right,
Speaker 1: and you gotta know what the guarantee is because a
Speaker 1: lot of those those base salaries the fourth and fifth
Speaker 1: year are like sky high. This relates to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders just signed Darren Payne. They're all pro type.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he actually made all pro, but
Speaker 1: he probably should have a defensive tackle to let a
Speaker 1: reported four year, nine million dollars deal guaranteed sixty million. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's fifteen million, second second highest paid interior defensive
Speaker 1: lineman in the league behind So it's fifteen million a year.
Speaker 1: Just tell me what the guarantee is, because I don't
Speaker 1: care about that last base salary that's forty six million,
Speaker 1: not guaranteed. That's what it's all about. Tell me the guaranteed,
Speaker 1: don't tell me the package. So are we able to
Speaker 1: go as long as we want to today? I think
Speaker 1: we are until it's until Christmas, until Chris just cuts
Speaker 1: us off, all right. I just another imagine. Imagine that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen by the time we can ven me next
Speaker 1: next Monday. Then the Cowboys we'll start signing guys. Well,
Speaker 1: that will be right. We'll be setting the table for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys signing that that special player that Jerry was
Speaker 1: talking to. Okay, here we go. Last question. Okay, what position?
Speaker 1: Wide receiver? We're three for three. Somewhere along the line.
Speaker 1: I need another wide receiver who goes by initials. I've
Speaker 1: got no initials. Just somebody'd open. I'm not Would you
Speaker 1: like a wide receiver that goes by initials? I do
Speaker 1: not care that. I'd rather. I'd rather he'd better ball,
Speaker 1: That's all I know. Does he catch with two hands? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And see all that is cute because I saw Chris
Speaker 1: and he only caught the boss with one hand the
Speaker 1: whole time. And you can. You can be as good
Speaker 1: as you want. Right If if a DB's coming up,
Speaker 1: I saw it. If you got dB coming at you
Speaker 1: and you keep on with you, it's one handed crap,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get busted up, that's all. Especially if Everson
Speaker 1: hits you, you're gonna get busted up. And same knee
Speaker 1: to ACLS MM factor that in on a long term deal.
Speaker 1: You're gonna give him five years. How old is he?
Speaker 1: Probably twenty nine? So we're talking, we're talking draft for
Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah, which one? Which one? I'm saying which one?
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just need a quality next receiver
Speaker 1: because right now it's Michael Gallup, Ceedee Lamb and I
Speaker 1: went time Odella's third. He'll be thirty one November fifth,
Speaker 1: m m and I love young wife receivers. Whib Recely
Speaker 1: was coming out of the college now get ready the
Speaker 1: NFL ready, so that that might be Yeah, that's where
Speaker 1: you go. I mean, think about what happened this year,
Speaker 1: right you had to go sign Hilton at the end
Speaker 1: of the season to be your third guy. Sign him
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, sign him in March.
Speaker 1: Does he want to play or is he gonna? Don't know? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just saying in general, I watch it
Speaker 1: kind of like to see him come back. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: mind it. But does he want to play? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean the reason he didn't play last year because he
Speaker 1: wanted to watch kids play football, and I would imagine
Speaker 1: maybe he wants to do that again. I don't help
Speaker 1: his kids. Remember, we'll get hit yet, I think they're
Speaker 1: like junior high early high school. While I mean he's
Speaker 1: he's only you want to go make I mean ever
Speaker 1: since he's hungry, I'm hungry and I walk a dog.
Speaker 1: Nicky can keep talking. We're just gonna off. Okay, that
Speaker 1: does it for this? Why we call it mix shots.
Speaker 1: He calls the shots, and we'll see you again next
Speaker 1: Monday at eleven am. Go Cowboys. This has been a
Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: Football Club.
