4
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: a football player through and through and the best players

5
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: in this league. With the kid leaves like a walking

6
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: highlight room. The first player worked with three passing touchdowns

7
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: and three rushing touchdouts. He has done on this team,

8
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: in this organization, in this community. I've got a hard

9
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: time believing that someone's done more touchdown Buffalo. I mean,

10
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: he's male of being good, doing good. God bless and

11
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: go Bills. Well, there you have it, josh Ada on

12
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: whatever rock you've been living under that you didn't know

13
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: that Josh signed a six year extension for the Buffalo Bills.

14
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Here you are. He did two hundred and thirty or

15
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million dollars six years, two hundred

16
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: and fifty million of it guaranteed. I was on another radio,

17
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I was on Serious last night, and I said, listen,

18
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: it was a huge weekend. All over the weekend, guys

19
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: signing contracts right and left. If there's one guy out

20
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: of all that crew that's got a chance to actually

21
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: earn the money he signed for. It might be number

22
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: seventeen the Buffalo Bills. Congratulations to Josh. It's a huge

23
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: move by Buffalo, right, and.

24
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: It makes perfect sense. It's worth every single penny. Me

25
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: being more of a stats guy, I always go back

26
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: to the stat and you have a bunch in your

27
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: rundown the last three years. Last season highest rate of

28
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: big time throws in the NFL twenty twenty three, second

29
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: in big time throw rate in twenty twenty two, first

30
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: in big time throw rate. You add in that ability

31
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: to hit on those super challenging throws with all of

32
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: his leadership, and then, of course what he does as

33
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: a runner. I think Josh Allen is the best quarterback

34
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: individually in the NFL, and the Bills are paying him

35
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,279
Speaker 3: more than any other player.

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: In the NFL. So caseh you wonder, I'm Steve Tasker.

37
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: This is Chris Trapasso with me here today. We're gonna

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: be with you through this start of the free agency period,

39
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: the legal tampering part of the free free agency period.

40
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: A huge weekend that happened. I didn't start by that. Chris,

41
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: thanks for coming in. It's good to have you on board. Fun.

42
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: So Josh is signed this deal. It's really it's the

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: market deal of this last weekend, and that's one in

44
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: which you had the player, the defensive player who's now

45
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history in Miles Garrett.

46
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Gonna stay in Cleveland because he wants to win a

47
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: championship and so he's gonna stay there for four years,

48
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty million dollars. Congratulations to him. As

49
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: you said, the stats for Josh go on and on

50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: and on. He's got more wins as a starter seventy six,

51
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: he's got more tds as a starter two hundred and

52
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: sixty two, more yards as a starter thirty thousand, five

53
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five than any player in NFL history

54
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: in their first seven seasons of their career. And of

55
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: course last year he was the MVP. This was his

56
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: second extension he signed. He signed one after the twenty

57
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: twenty season. That was for it was just before twenty

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty one, but it was after he'd played twenty twenty six.

59
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: That was a sixth year, two hundred and fifty eight

60
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: million dollar monster. He signed that in August at twenty one.

61
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's good to be Josh these days.

62
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: And it's it certainly feels like an exorbitant amount of money,

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: but this is the going rate for an elite level quarterback.

64
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Fifty five he's not even the highest paid average per year,

65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: and he's still not the highest.

66
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: He's in I believe, tied for second with a few others,

67
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence being one of them. Fifty five million dollars

68
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: per year, dek Prescott, I believe it's still.

69
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: Ahead of him.

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 3: So for as much money that is in terms of

71
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: the overall sum, the three hundred and thirty million, the

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty million guaranteed, feels it's the going

73
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: rate for a ragning MVP who's twenty eight years old.

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, you know, and in the

75
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: world we live in the social media by the way,

76
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: the social media world just crashed this point twice. Twitter's

77
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: or X is off. But the critics will say, yeah,

78
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: that guy never got into a Super Bowl. He never

79
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. In money games, in playoff games,

80
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: even the ones Josh loses, he is the best player

81
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: on the field for either team. Yeah, you go into statistics,

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: into analytics, even into advanced analytics, Josh is absolutely off

83
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: the charts in playoff games for the Buffalo Bills, and

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: and that's games they've lost as well.

85
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why I said earlier that I think

86
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: he's the best quarterback individually in the NFL. He's not

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: the most accomplished quarterback obviously, that right, Patrick Mahomes. But

88
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: in terms of what Josh Allen can control, it doesn't

89
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: matter if it's a cold weather game in early December.

90
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if it's a Dome game against an

91
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: NFC opponent, or like you're saying, a playoff game against

92
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: the top competition, whether it be thirteen seconds, whether it

93
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: be just the AFC title game two months ago. Josh

94
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: Allen has played elite level football across the board.

95
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: That's right. If you want to get in and chime

96
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: in on this yere, you can to aight oh three

97
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: zero five to fifty or eight to eight five fifty

98
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: two five to fifty Christo Passos, Steve Task We're also

99
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna have. As soon as he's done with the local media,

100
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Terrell Bernard is gonna drop by the studio to stop.

101
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be here in the next few minutes.

102
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: We're just gonna slide him on when he gets here,

103
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna be here till three o'clock doing this, and

104
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be here all week. There's a lot of

105
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: stuff that went on this weekend. If you're not aware,

106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go down the list real quick for you.

107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf got traded to the Steelers mostly for the

108
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: fifty second pick of the fur of the draft, which

109
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: is the second round pair of maybe a third round pick,

110
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: a second round pick in this year's draft, plus the

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: smaller details. I think they're switching sixth and seventh rounders

112
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: some point. But he signs also a new deal, five year,

113
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars deal. DK Metcalf is

114
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: a Steeler. Don't know who's gonna throw them the football yet.

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff flying around about that. Justin Fields.

116
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: The Steelers made him an offer. They wanted him to

117
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: come back and say, hey, come back and be a starter.

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: And Justin Field said, yeah, you know what, that might happen,

119
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go out and test the waters because

120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: you guys benched me when I was four and two.

121
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: This season, I'm going to see what's out there. Not

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: at all, he's well within his right, and you can't

123
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: even feel bad for that. You can't even say, like, wow,

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: he's you know, playing he's not even playing hardball. That's

125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: the way it goes. He he's been nothing but a

126
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: good soldier for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They owe it. He

127
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: should be able to go out and sample those waters.

128
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: And as things went south for Russell Wilson down the stretch,

129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: still didn't put him. They didn't put Justin Fields back

130
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: in to let him be that running threat. They really

131
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: only gave him a small little package as the offense

132
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: was reeling down the stretch. So I don't think Justin

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: Fields is being a diva whatsoever to say I'm gonna

134
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: test the water see how much money i could get,

135
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: or maybe just another better starting situation than what he

136
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: has with the Steelers.

137
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: And given what he has accomplished, which is not all

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: that much, he's gonna have a hot market. I mean

139
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: he's on too. Yeah, he's young, he's not He's in

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: a market with a forty two year old Aaron Rodgers,

141
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: a thirty whatever, thirty seven year old or thirty six

142
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: year old Russ Wilson. Sam Darnold is very high priced

143
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: player that's coming out. Don't know what he's gonna do yet,

144
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a suppressed market for that spot.

145
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins Atlanta still says they're not moving on from him,

146
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's not gonna start for them

147
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: at making twenty seven or thirty seven million dollars a

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: year whatever. It is. Just so the the Aaron Rodgers,

149
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: the Russ Wilson's and the Daniel Jones, you know, the

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Justin Fields of the of the world. We're gonna have

151
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: to see how the Sam Darnolds of the world. We're

152
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: going to see how these things fall and where the

153
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: open teams are and what's gonna happen. But and and

154
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: our our friend of the show, Dan Orlovsky, made this

155
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: point earlier today in his broadcast. Pittsburgh is the spot

156
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback wants to land this offseason. Despite what you

157
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: might think about everything that's going on, they are a spot.

158
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: They just traded for DK Metcalf, they got pickings on

159
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: in the house, they got a head coach that is

160
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: a dude, and a defense that can play, and they

161
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: never lose more games than they win. So you're set

162
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: up to go in there and and make some hay

163
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think I think that's uh, I think that's

164
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: the real.

165
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: And we heard some rumblings of maybe Aaron Rodgers being

166
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: interested in that because there were some uh, you know,

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: thoughts about maybe Seattle, maybe the Giants. But Pittsburgh now

168
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: post DK metcalf t like you're saying that vaults to

169
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: the top of the list of any of these freegent

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: courtA were.

171
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, as soon as Terrell Bernard finishes up

172
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: with the local media, he's gonna come in and slide

173
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: in here next to Chris. We're gonna have him on

174
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: just a second. That all this stuff swirling around. It's

175
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a really fast moving day here in the NFL. And

176
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: uh oh, here he comes. Now, come on in, Terrell.

182
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: First of all, congratulations and welcome you very much.

183
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: Yeah it was it was maybe man, uh, four or

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 5: five days, not not super long. You know, we we

185
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: talked about possibly getting it done, you know, after after

186
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: the season and you know, once the conversation kind of

187
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 5: started it. It went by pretty quick, so you know,

188
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: just so so thankful to be able to get it

189
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: done and you know, to be here.

190
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: It does mean something when and I've said this too,

191
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: we were all sitting here warned about free agency and stuff.

192
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: You don't know what everybody, what the coaching staff, what

193
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: the organization thinks about you until they show you for sure,

194
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: not not just in not just in the money, but

195
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: also in your playtime. And you've been a starter for

196
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years. They've said that you're a big

197
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: integral part of what thing's done. And now they've really

198
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: proved it. Really how much they think of you, right,

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: that's what it means something, right, for sure, it does.

200
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, the main thing is

201
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: just that they wanted me to be here. You know,

202
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: they wanted they wanted me to to help lead this team,

203
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: lead this defense. And you know that's that's one of

204
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the biggest things for me. You know, I've i've I've

205
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: tried to give everything that i've I've had to this

206
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: organization and you know, to feel to feel like they

207
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: wanted me back and they wanted me to continue on

208
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: the journey that I've been on. It's it's amazing.

209
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: Knowing that you're now under contract for the next four years.

210
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: How do you feel in terms of grasp of the

211
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: defensive scheme?

212
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: Can you even become a better football player?

213
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: Because obviously going from rookie to the breakout in year

214
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: two to having another big season in year in year three,

215
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: do you feel comfortable being that quarterback of the defense

216
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: with maybe some younger players that are gonna be pieced

217
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: around you in twenty twenty five.

218
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

219
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: I feel like that was part of the journey last year,

220
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 5: you know, really understanding my job and then you know,

221
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 5: helping guys around me, and you know, I feel like

222
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 5: I learned how to do that throughout this this past season.

223
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: And you know, that's that's an instance where you know,

224
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: I need to I need to get better at and

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: I want to get better at and you know they're

226
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: expecting that of me. And so that's the that's the

227
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 5: journey that I'm that I'm on right now. I'm excited

228
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 5: for for the opportunity, you know, to do anything that

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: I can to help this defense and you know, lead

230
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: this defense the right way.

231
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: Quick follow up to that, can you explain how important

232
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: it is to have that knowledge of not only what

233
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: you need to do, but what do Williams needs to

234
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: do or Matt Mulano the d line, like they were

235
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: showing the interception against the Houston Texas, which to me

236
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: was such a great play where it was like not

237
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: even just your athleticism, but you knowing that there's going

238
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: to be a dig route behind you. Can you explain

239
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: what goes into the mental side of playing the linebacker

240
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: position and understanding those around you.

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

242
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: I feel like it's it's such a huge part of it.

243
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 5: You know, obviously physically you have to be you know,

244
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 5: up to par, but then mentally there's an area where

245
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 5: you know there's always room for improvement, you know, whether

246
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: that's pre snap communication, you know, post snap communication, on

247
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: the sidelines. I feel like those are all areas that

248
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 5: you know you you can grow and with the with

249
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: the experience and with the reps, you know it continues

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 5: to get better. But you know there's there's no substitute

251
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 5: for you know, being able to communicate with with guys

252
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 5: around you and understand their job, understand your job when

253
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: you know it's live action, when there's one hundred thousand

254
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: people watching you. When you know there's there's critical moments

255
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: of the game. I feel like that's where you know

256
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: you can you can really elevate yourself and elevate those

257
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: around you.

258
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: So you got this. You had these conversations with this.

259
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: You gotta know too. Last year was gonna we thought

260
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a tough year. A lot of

261
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: new faces on the defense. Is what in particular?

262
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 6: Now?

263
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: He thought, Well, now it's the same thing. You got

264
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: some guys that contracts are out. You got guys that

265
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: have lapsed or contracts they're you're waiting to find out

266
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: who What can you tell us about the vibe? First

267
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: two things, what what are the players thinking about what's

268
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna happen? And also did the management share with you

269
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: any of their plan that what they have going forward

270
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: the defense?

271
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, not a ton of of you know, planning wise,

272
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: I think you know, the main thing is is understanding

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: who we are and who we want to be this year.

274
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 5: You know, that's regardless of of who's out there or

275
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 5: or you know, what what happens this offseason going into

276
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: this next year.

277
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: That's our that's our motto.

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: You know, once once we get you know guys locked

279
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: in and you know, everybody finds out their role and

280
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: figures out what they need to do. Uh, there's a

281
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 5: there's a state and of how we play and how

282
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 5: we operate and you know, once once all, like I said,

283
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 5: all the roles are are you know solidified. That's when

284
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: you know you can really get into the details of

285
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 5: the defense and you know, understanding your your specific role

286
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 5: and how you want to approach every every day, every week.

290
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,120

Speaker 5: sure we're on the right track and then you know,

311
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: get back to it. So by the time OTAs rolled around,

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: you know, I'm ready to go, and you know we'll

313
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 5: be doing doing all of that, and then like like

00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,480

315
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 5: another year.

316
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Time off is always important. Whe's your home base? What

317
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: city is your.

318
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Houston, right outside of Houston again, so I live.

319
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 5: I live out there, so you can get out year

320
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 5: round down there, I know. Give us a little idea

321
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 5: about the vibe in the locker room. Now, you you

322
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: know the you know it always it's always a sour

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: note to leave this, you know, the season like you

324
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: have to leave it. Everybody except Philly. Give us an idea.

325
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: About the vibe about now you knew, you know, at

326
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: that last game this team is going to be a

327
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: lot different this year, new faces, the whole thing. Certainly,

328
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: you and Josh and Shakir and all those guys are

329
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: coming back obviously, but you know there's gonna be a

330
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: lot of dudes that you had to say goodbye to.

331
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: What's the vibe going forward, particularly now that you you

332
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: know there's a there's a handful of guys out there

333
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: that you're gonna you're gonna be lifelong pals with. Now

334
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna be playing a lot of football together.

335
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think the overall vibe is just

336
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 5: you know, we're we're really close and you know, there's

337
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: no there's no reward for for not winning your Super Bowl,

338
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: but I think there's an understanding that that what we

339
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 5: do works and we're we're really close to to reaching

340
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: that ultimate goal. You know, not not the way we

341
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 5: wanted to end the season at all, but you know,

342
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: I think what what we can take from that is,

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: you know, you have to make a few plays here

344
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 5: and there, here and there down the stretch to to

345
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: win those games. And you know, if if you're able

346
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: to do that, you know, we feel like we're in

347
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 5: a good spot. And you know, I think like you said,

348
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 5: you know, just the guys that we we locked in,

349
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 5: you know, we'll we'll get back and talk and figure out,

350
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: you know, ways to improve you know, the overall team

351
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: and do it again.

352
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, you really got to feel that way as well.

353
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean, even with all the changes and the question

354
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: marks and the roster what happened last year going into

355
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: the season when there was all the new faces, you

356
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: you still have to feel like you're gonna be right

357
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: there again. You're gonna have another swing at it in

358
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the championship, the whole thing. You're gonna

359
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: feel like you're you should be. Your expectation gonna be

360
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get back there again right away.

361
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: For sure. That's the that's the expectation. You know, like

362
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 5: I said, we have we have very very high standards

363
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 5: for ourselves and you know what what we do on

364
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 5: a day to day basis, but also you know the

365
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 5: result of what happens. And I think you know, we

366
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: we we believe that, you know, as long as we

367
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 5: got seventeen, as long as we got some of the

368
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 5: other guys around on the on this team, you know,

369
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: we have we have a chance to be successful. And

370
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 5: you know, it comes down, like I said, to a

371
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 5: couple of plays here and there, but you know, we

372
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 5: have we have the pieces and we have what it

373
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 5: takes to do.

374
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 6: It all right.

375
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: I got to ask you about Dorian Williams. He's one

376
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: of my favorite players. I'm a draft guy. I loved

377
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: him coming out of Too Lane. Being that he's like

378
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: a year behind you and that he has played a

379
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: little bit more as he's progressed. You kind of went

380
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: through that same process. Can you speak to how he's

381
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: developed early on and how he's like, does he soak

382
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: up a lot of knowledge from you and from Matt?

383
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: Like where do you see his future here in Buffalo?

384
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: Yeah? Dorian's awesome, man. He's he's like a brother to me,

385
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: you know, like you said, I got here a year

386
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: before him, so I was able to see, you know,

387
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 5: him take you know, so many steps throughout his career

388
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 5: already and you know, become the person in the player

389
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: that he is right now. He's got, you know, everything

390
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 5: in front of him. You know, he can do whatever

391
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: he wants to do. I think he's he's, you know,

392
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 5: one of the most athletic guys in the building. He's

393
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 5: so physical, so gifted, and you know, I think he's

394
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: a guy that wants to be good so bad, so

395
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: his his development is is going to be fun to watch.

396
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: You know.

397
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 5: I try to pour into him as much as much

398
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 5: as I can. And you know, he's he's such a

399
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: he's such a good dude and and somebody that I

400
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 5: want to see do well. Uh So, you know, building

401
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 5: that relationship and you know those those type of things,

402
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 5: that's what that's what we do it for. And you know,

403
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: like I said, I'm I'm just I'm happy for him

404
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 5: and I I can't wait to see, you know, what

405
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: he does this year too.

406
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: So you have a tech sloop with Rousseau and Josh

407
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: and yourself and you know, and Shakir and read Ferguson,

408
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: read Ferguson that right, So you got you know, all

410
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: got to give you some I remember going through it myself.

411
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: It gives you some some comfort to know that there

412
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be some guys you can lean and guys,

413
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: some familiar faces in there, and there's gonna be enough

414
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: guys that you're going to keep this that vibe and

415
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: the culture and the stuff that's really important off the field,

416
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. Yeah, for sure.

417
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 5: You know, like you said, I think Greg for me,

418
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: is is a huge, huge guy to get back. You know,

419
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 5: he's he's such a process driven guy and you know

420
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: he does all the little things right. And you know,

421
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: he's somebody that I try to measure up to and

422
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 5: try to, you know, make sure I'm doing everything I

423
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: need to do for him, and you know he's doing

424
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 5: the same thing. And then like you said, you know

425
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: Josh obviously, you know, franchise quarterback, the guy that makes

426
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 5: the whole thing go. You know, locking him up for

427
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 5: for you know, some more time is amazing. And then

428
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 5: you know Khalil, I think he's he's one of the

429
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 5: guys that you know, since he's he's stepped into the building,

430
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 5: he's just been so consistent and you know, kind of

431
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 5: that guy for Josh that you know, whenever he needs somebody,

432
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: that's that's who he goes to. And you know, I

433
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 5: couldn't I couldn't be happier for those guys. I built

434
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 5: such great relationships with all of them, Read included. You know,

435
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: he's he's a Texas guy. Now he lives, he lives

436
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 5: out there, so you know, might might go golf with him.

437
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 5: But you know, I think I think all those guys, man,

438
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: you build, you build these relationships and you know, these bonds,

439
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: these bonds with people, and you know, to see it,

440
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: to see it, you know, progress over the years and

441
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 5: you know, really grow into into what it is now.

442
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 5: It's gonna be fun, you know, seeing what happens in

443
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: the future very quickly.

444
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: How important you're talking about the tightness of the locker room,

445
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 3: how close a lot of these core pieces are. Yes,

446
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: there were new pieces last season. There's going to be

447
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: new pieces on defense via the draft maybe here in

448
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: Freedency the next couple of days. Can you talk about

449
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: how important it is to have that that type of

450
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: culture and and really how that translates from golfing in

451
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: the offseason to Sundays and Monday nights on the field.

452
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's super important. You know, I think that's where

453
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: everything starts, is the relationships and the bonds that you

454
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: build with with the guys around you. So obviously it

455
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 5: makes it easier when it's the same guys. But you

456
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: know that's that's a part where you know, it's it's

457
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: it's undeniable. You know, my relationship with Matt directly affects

458
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 5: how we play together on Sundays, and you know, we

459
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 5: put a lot of time in He's become, you know,

460
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 5: my best friend up here, a brother to me. So

461
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: you know, when we're in front of you know, eighty

462
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 5: thousand people and everything's crazy, you know, I can look

463
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 5: at him and he can look at me, and he

464
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 5: knows that I'm going to get I'm going to give

465
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 5: everything I got to make sure he's in the right

466
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: spot and to make sure, you know, I'm doing my

467
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 5: job and I know he's doing the same thing. So

468
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: you know that that trust factor and that bond that

469
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: you build with the guys is you.

470
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,800

Speaker 1: one of legal tampering. We're presented by Clyde heat We'll

476
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: be right back. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back

477
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live. Steve, excuse me, I took a

478
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: sip of your doctor right right right before I came

479
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: back on Steve Tasker, Christopasso here with you until three.

480
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: Thanks to Terrell Bernard and congratulations to him on his

481
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: four year extension. He was in town signing that deal

482
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be and he's told us he's going to

483
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: be in town for a week getting his off season

484
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: program up to snuff and getting it all under his

485
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: belt before he goes back to his home and starts training.

486
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: Hard worker, leader of the defense, so smart, and he

487
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: spoke to it. It's he learned going from year two

488
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: to year three. It wasn't just about him understanding where

489
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: he needed to be, but where the week side linebacker

490
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 3: needed to be and where the defensive tackles were going

491
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: to play.

492
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 4: And you could see him.

493
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: You watch Bill's film, you watch the games on Sunday,

494
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 3: he is pointing out everything. I think his pre snap

495
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: ability is as good as he is once the football

496
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: this step.

497
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: He's a very smart player. Yeah he's And I was

498
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: saying this too throughout the this last week, that you

499
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: know what you get these guys in there and it

500
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: comes down to you can really tell what the club thinks.

501
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: And I said it in his first question I asked him,

502
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: you can really tell what the club thinks and when

503
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: they're forced to act on oil. Yeah, on behalf of

504
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: you when they give you the big contract. I think

505
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: say what they want in the media, and they can

506
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: say what they want be pre draft, but when they

507
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: have to make a draft pick, that tells you where

508
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: they where their thoughts are. When they have to sign

509
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: a guy, that tells you where their thoughts are. So

510
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: signing Rousseau, Shakir Bernard, Josh Allen, even Reid Ferguson, it

511
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: tells you what's important to them, and they have to

512
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: back up their words.

513
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: And we're sitting here in the first day of free agency.

514
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: They didn't let any of those guys even get close

515
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: to free agency. You don't want that to happen. You're

516
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: right that those are the core pieces that would lower

517
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: the salary cap hit for all of those guys and

518
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: just keep them in Buffalo for the next three or

519
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: four years.

520
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: When we were going down the list of things that

521
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: had happened over the weekend was I think we left

522
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: off Miles Garrett signed re signed with the Browns. He's

523
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: now the highest non quarterback, highest paid non quarterback in

524
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: NFL history one forty million bucks a year, four years,

525
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty million bucks. Davante Adams, the wide

526
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: receiver who last year played with the Raiders and then

527
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: moved to the Jets and ended up having over the

528
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: course of the two teams eighty five receptions for a

529
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: thousand and sixty three yards eight touchdowns. He signed with

530
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: the Rams, as you might probably well and know, it

531
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: feels like it happened six weeks ago. With everything that's happening.

532
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: He gets twenty six million dollars guaranteed over the next

533
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: two years, but it's virtually a one year deal if

534
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the Rams can get out of it. And this is

535
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: a Rams team that has already said they want to

536
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: either release or trade Cooper Cup. Now. Cooper Cup, thirty

537
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: one years old, played in twelve games last year, sixty

538
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: seven receptions for seven hundred and ten yards six touchdowns,

539
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: and then they're trading him for Davante Adams, who's thirty

540
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: two years old. But like I said, he had eighty

541
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: five for one thousand yards and eight touchdowns with two

542
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: different teams. Davante Adams, I would say most people say

543
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams is a better player than Cooper Cup. But

544
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: for what they've asked Cooper Cup to do in LA,

545
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: that's a hard Those are hard numbers to duplicate. I

546
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: would rather have, no question, I would rather have Davante

547
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: than Cooper. But it's not by that much.

548
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 4: No, it's not by that much.

549
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: I think the bigger different or the biggest difference here

550
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: would be Cooper Cups out with injuries in each of

551
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: the last two seasons. Whether they know that he's not

552
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: gonna ever be the same or not, that it wouldn't

553
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: be shocking given his age. And I think at this stage,

554
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: even at thirty two, like you mentioned, DeVonta Adams probably

555
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 3: a little bit better of a route runner. And they

556
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 3: have Pookin a Coula that has really emerged into that

557
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup X role for Sean McVay as they do

558
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: everything underneath yards after the catch contested catch wide receiver

559
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: Devanta Adams feels like he can be a high end

560
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: number two with still a lot of the attention on

561
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: Pookin a Coua.

562
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, that the Rams are doing

563
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: what they're doing. The most interesting team over the weekend

564
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: was probably Seattle Seahawks. They released Tyler Lockett, and they

565
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: traded Dk Metcalf, two very prominent players in their locker room.

566
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: And then they also traded Gino Smith, their quarterback. Who

567
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: Gino has been this last year? He was what middle

568
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: of the road starting quarterback. He wasn't tremendous, but and

569
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: he's two years ago he was like seventh in QBR.

570
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they got to the playoffs with him, got

571
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with him, but they traded him to

572
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, to his old coach, Pete Carroll,

573
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: who took the Raiders job. The Seahawks looks to me

574
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: like they've painted themselves into a corner. They don't have

575
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and they traded to a DK Metcalf, who

576
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: is a dynamic wide receiver and Tyler Lockett, who was

577
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: a beloved wide receiver. Do you do that without having

578
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: a plan to replace that guy? Because I does that

579
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: put them in the middle of the Sam Darnald sweepstakes

580
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: because Darnald hasn't signed. We haven't heard anything yet, and

581
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: it's the tampering period has been going on for ninety minutes.

582
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: You would think somebody would have come out and said,

583
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: we've agreed to terms.

584
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: Well, all we know from the Seahawks at this point

585
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: is now they have a glut of picks in the draft,

586
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: which is great.

587
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: Five in the first ninety.

588
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: Two, five in the first ninety two. That is a huge,

589
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: huge for a general manager to have. But does that

590
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: indicate more that they're feeling like they need to rebuild

591
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: and add in young, cheap talent. That's kind of how

592
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: I feel, because maybe this is just me, and tell

593
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: me how you feel about this. Steve sam Donald going

594
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: behind a shoddy offensive line, Gino Smith was not protected well.

595
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: The run blocking was not good for Kenneth Walker and

596
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: Zach Sharberney last season in Seattle. Seems like it could

597
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: be another Jets like disaster for Sam Donald when he

598
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: was in Minnesota last year. Great offensive line, Justin Jefferson, TJ. Hockenson,

599
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: trepreendous weapons, tremendous weapons, Jordan Addison as their wide receiver

600
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: number two, Aaron Jones in the backfield. That's why, I think,

601
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: more than so than anything else, why we saw Sam

602
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: Donald of twenty twenty four that was unrecognizable. If he

603
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: goes to Seattle, bad offensive line and who is going

604
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: to catch passes? Jackson Smith and the Jigba and then

605
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: some rookies. Potentially that would be kind of a recipe

606
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: for disaster. But you do wonder what is the Seahawks plan.

607
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: At this point. Yeah, I don't know. I really have

608
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: and you and I I think the point is we

609
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: think they got one. I would be surprised if they

610
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: don't come up with like Sam Darnold, there was Rogers,

611
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones, for goodness say something

612
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: that's you gotta have a guy played. Yeah, you got

613
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: to have somebody that you've been having backdoor conversation with saying, hey,

614
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: we're you know what about it? If they don't, are

615
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: they going to trade all five of their top ninety

616
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: two picks to move up into the top five and

617
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: get cam Ward or Shoud or Sander or one of

618
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: these guys. I don't know.

619
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: It feels like they're GM John Schneider though, obviously, going

620
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: back to the legion of Boom Russell Wilson era, he

621
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: is one of the better gms in the NFL. He

622
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: uh in that DK Metcalf draft in twenty nineteen. I

623
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: vividly remember this. They started that draft with like three

624
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: or four draft picks and he traded back a bunch

625
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: and finished with like ten. Now they have five in

626
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: the first ninety two. So he's done a reasonably good

627
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: job in the draft navigating quarterback situation to move from

628
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson get Gino Smith played really good football there

629
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: in Seattle. But right now they're one of the more

630
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: baron rosters in the NFL.

631
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I think it's Bear's watching. That's why it's

632
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting things because it really feels

633
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: like they're digging themselves a hole and they've still got

634
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: the shovel in their hand, right, So we'll see, we

635
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: will see. One of the other things that happened, we

636
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: knew that New England Patriots have a ton of caps

637
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million dollars in cap space. They

638
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: spent some of it over the weekend on the newly

639
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: released Harold Landry, defensive lineman from the Tennessee Titans. He's

640
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: a guy that played for Mike Vrabel, the new New

641
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: England head coach. He played for Vrabel when Vrabel was

642
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: head coach of the Tennessee Titans. Now they're reunited in

643
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: New England. It's kind of old school, you see coaches

644
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: go back and get one of the guys they played with.

645
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott did it here in Buffalo with all the

646
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: guys that they brought up from Carolina when he was

647
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Star Low two l LA guys like that.

648
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: You see coaches do it because they coaches love guys

649
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: who are known commodities. Yes, because I know they can

650
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: do certain things. At least we can do this. There

651
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: may be other guys out there that have a bigger upside,

652
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: but you don't know anything else about them. Yeah, and

653
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: so I don't like those guys, yes much.

654
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: And I think we see that with the homegrown talent

655
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: like the Chiefs re signed Nick Bolton. It's like one

656
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: of the highest linebacker deals in terms of fully guaranteed money.

657
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: Is he like the third or fourth best linebacker in

658
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: the NFL? No, not necessarily, but the Chiefs. For the Chiefs,

659
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: he is a known commodity for Steve Spagnolo and that defense.

660
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: So that kind of speaks to that point and makes

661
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: perfect sense why even though Harold Landry is not a

662
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: top tier edge rusher, he's a quality player and Mike

663
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: Rabol knows what he's good at, knows what he's not,

664
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 3: strengths and weaknesses, and just understands the type of player

665
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 3: that he's getting. That was like the first signing that

666
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: we saw that really started this lanch over the weekend

667
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: before free agency.

668
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: So it made a lot of sense for the landry

669
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: to go.

670
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: To the people. Well, so for right now, that's around

671
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, presented by colidea Healthy official healthcare system of

672
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. That's what happened over the weekend, and

673
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: we're keeping a trying to keep a pulse on how

674
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: fast this thing's moving as we get around. If you

675
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: want to jump in on this conversation to talk about

676
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: the extensions you candida eight or three zero five to

677
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: fifty or eighty eight five fifty two five fifty. I

678
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: missed one call. They couldn't hang on any longer. Sorry

679
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: about that. You can give us a call, you can

680
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: get in on this conversation. A ton of stuff is

681
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: happening around the league, and it's really intriguing to think

682
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: about the quarterback and how thankful are we, as in

683
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: Bill's Country and Bill's Mafia, not to be in the

684
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: quarterback sweepstakes.

685
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: Anymore, especially this year.

686
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: You've got a team like the Indianapolis Colts reportedly salivating

687
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: over Daniel Jones. It's a it's a tough world to

688
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: live in. We know it. We know it here in Buffalo.

689
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: So it's nice to have the MVP sewed up for

690
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: the next six years and a bunch of guys around

691
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: him who you know, would really walk over hot coals

692
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: for him. So this spot, Steve Tasker christa passo here

693
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: one Bill's lives. As Twitter finally gets up and running,

694
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: will be able to keep a better handle on what

695
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: all is being said around in the NFL and one

696
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: of some of the things that are going on. What

697
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: is your early take on you know, what might be

698
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: and what could be and what should be.

699
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: Well, you're mentioning the Patriots having a lot of money.

700
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: They have Drake May They had one of the most

701
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: baron rosters in the NFL, and they were. Had they

702
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: lost to the Bills in that Week eighteen game, they

703
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: would have had the number one overall pick. But they

704
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: won that game against Bill's backups pushed him down to

705
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: the fourth pick in this draft. They need to spend money.

706
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: They signed Carlton Davis, the cornerback from the Lions, previously

707
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: of the Buccaneers and just now Morgan Moses, who longtime

708
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: Commander's tackle was with the Jets last season. Older always

709
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: has really dealt with injuries a lot in his career,

710
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 3: but a pretty good player. It's important to remember this

711
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: time of year, especially within the first two hours of

712
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: free agency starting, the teams that have a lot of

713
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: money and are gonna be the big spenders, and you're

714
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: gonna see a lot of those team names on Twitter.

715
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: They're not paying the Terrell Bernards and the Khalil Secures

716
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: and the Greg russo Is. They need quality players on

717
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 3: their roster.

718
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 4: They don't have them.

719
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: So we've seen historically the Bills wait until later second

720
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: third wave to sign those free agents.

721
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter is now reporting that Eagles corner Isaiah Rodgers

722
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: reaching agreement on two year, fifteen million dollar contract with

723
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. So cornerback off the Philadelphia Eagles is

724
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: on the move to Minnesota. He's got eight million dollars guaranteed.

725
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: Reportedly that once again by Adam Schefter, it's it's gonna happen,

726
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen fast. One other one.

727
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 4: DJ reed.

728
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: This kind of impacts the Bills because it's from the

729
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: AFC East. DJ Reed, Jets slot corner, pretty good player,

730
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: very feisty, signs with the Lions. I don't know the

731
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: actual money yet, but he's signing with the Lions, a

732
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 3: team that certainly needs help in their secondary.

733
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: The Titans are going to try and make a splash

734
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. They think they're going to sign

735
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers left tackle that is out there, Dan Moore.

736
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: Dan Moore, he may go to the Titans. They seem

737
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: interested in him. Yeah. DJ Reid gone there it is.

738
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean start you get this stuff. I think he

739
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: gets repeated like ten times on your timeline. Yeah.

740
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: One other one too, because we were down from Twitter

741
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 3: and it seemed like all the insiders were trying to

742
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: catch up, which was interesting. One of the biggest ticket

743
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: free agents, Milton Williams, who was great in the Super

744
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: Bowl for the Eagles, former third round pick, played everywhere

745
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: up and down the line of scrimmage while Twitter was down.

746
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: I don't know how some of these insiders were doing it.

747
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: We're tweeting that, oh, he's going to sign with the Panthers,

748
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: but now a few of them are retracting. Diana Russini

749
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: not retracting that it's not happening, but it's just not

750
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 3: done yet, that there are other teams like the Patriots

751
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: that might still be interested. And there's this maybe just

752
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 3: last minute eleven which guards Milton Williams. Oh yeah, the

753
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: de tackling de tackle from the Eagles. Eleventh hour offers

754
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: from other teams that have a lot of money that

755
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: need defensive tackle help Milton Williams two Panthers, but not

756
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 3: one hundred percent on you, which is weird because we

757
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: normally only get these reports when it's a sign sealed

758
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: and delivered, see, but this one is not yet.

759
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you see? As well? The New England Patriots

760
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: are signing a ton of guys that have passed with

761
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: the with the coaches on Frable's staff, Milton Morgan Moses

762
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: three years, twenty four million to go to New England.

763
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: He was a he was a guy that played. Moses

764
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: is a guy that played with McDaniels.

765
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 3: No, that's that's not right, That right, Ravens Jets, and

766
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: then he started his career in Washington.

767
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: He's been around played. Robert Spelane is also on the

768
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Patriots staff. Josh McDaniels, Harold Landy, played for Variable Morgan.

769
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: Moses was with Todd Downing in New York. That's where

770
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: he was Todd Downing on the on the staff with

771
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: Vabel h Carlton Davis. Going over to New England, I

772
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: mean they've got you knew there and and these guys,

773
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys may thrive in New England, but

774
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: none of these guys, none of this is like you

775
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: know a Miles Garrett or you know a Trey Hendrickson

776
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: or some of these guys moving around. It's not you know,

777
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: good good players, no question quality players. They're the kind

778
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: of players that will rise up around your really great players.

779
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: You need the home it was face it two. I

780
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: think I think New England's got a guy in Drake

781
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: May and I think they're very quickly gonna he is

782
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: going to emerge as the voice and the face and

783
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: the and the engine that makes that go. It's got

784
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: to come from somewhere, and that guy's got what it takes.

785
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: And these type of guys that New England is signing

786
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: are the guys that kind of drive that engine. They'll

787
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: they'll jump on board with a young player and help

788
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: him along as much as best they can.

789
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 3: You mentioned it before the Patriots went into free agency

790
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 3: with one hundred and twenty one million dollars in cap

791
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: space by far the most in the NFL, second LA

792
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: Chargers at ninety just under ninety four million, and then

793
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: spinning this to another AFC East rival for the Bills.

794
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: Now the Jets lose Morgan Moses, who was kind of

795
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: their patchwork right tackle last season that they signed, and

796
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: Dj Reed, who is one of the vocal leaders, a

797
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: quality blitzer from the slot could play man coverage. It's

798
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 3: a team that is in such a state of flux,

799
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: obviously with their new head coach Aaron Glenn just a

800
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 3: completely new head coaching staff, no Aaron Rodgers or coaching staff,

801
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: No Aaron Rodgers. And for a defense that has given

802
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: the Bills a lot of problems over the last two

803
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: or three years, it's a group that's going to have

804
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: a lot of new faces on in twenty twenty five.

805
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. Cindy in I believe it's

806
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Cindy, go ahead, you're on with Steve and Chris.

807
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: What's on your mind?

808
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 7: Hi, Hi State, Hi Chris, thanks for taking my call.

809
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 7: I just I have a comment and a question my

810
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 7: comment is I'm glad that they released Von Miller. I've

811
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 7: been calling for the past two years and saying that

812
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 7: we're wasting our cap on him. He's older, he's a

813
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 7: great guy. But and the second the question I have

814
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 7: is what's going on with Cook? Cook was put in

815
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 7: like for every play and he really produced, So why

816
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 7: aren't they giving him what he wants? Thanks, guys, have

817
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 7: a good day.

818
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: Good call Cindy. Yeah, yeah, Von. For what Vaughn was here,

819
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: brought here to do. It was going swimmingly until he

820
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: got it was it was going swimmingly until uh he

821
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: Von got injured, and then you know it was a

822
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: long road back, and you know it was a it

823
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: was a short rest of the contract. So yeah, uh

824
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: they did it. You knew it was coming with Von

825
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: Von knew was coming. You could see it on the wall.

826
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: The economics made sense for him to be released, and

827
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: he did. As far as James Cook, there's no hurry

828
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: to get him done. You've got all the way until

829
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: August to get James Cook done. He's under contract another

830
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: year and he's going to get five million dollars on

831
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: that deal. It'll be by far the most he's made

832
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: in his rookie contract, not that it's a life changer,

833
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: which at some point he will sign a life changing deal,

834
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be for a few months.

835
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: It'll probably post June one, and so yeah, there's no

836
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: hurry to get him done because he's not His contract

837
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: isn't up.

838
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: Just Yett and even though we just had Terrel Bernard

839
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 3: in Khalil Shakir, two other members of the twenty twenty

840
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 3: two draft class that was spectacular for the Bills already

841
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: signed those extensions. When you're a running back, you don't

842
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: necessarily need to rush that second deal because if it

843
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 3: does bleed into the season, then you still get to

844
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 3: see can he still sustain that level of productivity that

845
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 3: he had in his third season this past year. At linebacker,

846
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 3: at wide receiver, you kind of know what you're.

847
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Going to get.

848
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 3: There's not a age twenty six or age twenty seven

849
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: drop off with running back.

850
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: There historically has been.

851
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 3: Now the Bills and James Cook obviously probably feel confident

852
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: about his ability to sustain that level of productivity. But

853
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: it was really really high set the franchise record in

854
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns during the regular season. It might actually be

855
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 3: smarter just from a team building perspective to wait on

856
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: the running back spot as compared to getting the contracts

857
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 3: done at some of the other positions.

858
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break, Bob, Bob and Buffalo.

859
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to you right after the break. We're

860
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: gonna cut right here and then get back to you

861
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: before the top of the hour. Steve Taster, Christrahosso and

862
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: One Bill's Lives. It's legal tampering day and we're talking

863
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: all about it. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back

864
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,880

865
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: We're taking your phone calls until the end of the show.

866
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: Probably we're gonna be we got a lot going on.

867
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the phones right now. This is

868
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: eight or three zero five fifty or eighty eight five

869
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. We'll start this segment with Bob

870
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Bob, you're al with Steve and Chris. What's

871
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: on your mind?

872
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: He Welcome to My glorious Monday, gentlemen. The young that

873
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: they called before was happy to see you know, Bomb

874
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 2: go and I kind of feel the opposite. I thought

875
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 2: the last four or five games he really showed he

876
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: was coming back from his injury. I would love to

877
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: see him bring him back if they could. I understand

878
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: the finances behind it, and I trust Brandon because there's

879
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: no reason not to trust them. But I really want

880
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: to ask a question about Stefan Diggs still out there

881
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: and he possibility of bringing him back or he just

882
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 2: burned his bridges here.

883
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: And thanks for the call, then, thanks Bob, that's a

884
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: good call. I don't Yeah, I can't see it. It could,

885
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: it could happen. He's available. I don't think he's on

886
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: their radar. It is a very shallow free agent class

887
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: in all respects. Yep, we've talked about, you know, the

888
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: guys that are moving around. There's a lot, you know,

889
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of defensive guys are moving around,

890
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive guys are resigning.

891
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's true.

892
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: And what I would say is that I don't necessarily

893
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: think that Digs burn bridges here necessarily. It just kind

894
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: of feels like the ship has sailed and that the

895
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 3: Bills let him go. And there was so much more

896
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: diversity on offense, and they had thirty touches, you know,

897
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 3: thirty passing touchdowns, thirty rushing touchdowns. You never really knew

898
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 3: who was gonna get the football, and we know that

899
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: there was that little bit of Josh feeling like I

900
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: need to get the ball to fourteen his ten to

901
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: twelve times a game or there might be some problems

902
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 3: on the sideline or in the locker room. Great player,

903
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: hard worker, gave everything he had to the Bills, But

904
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: it feels like that would be an unlikely reunion. And

905
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 3: the one thing I'll say about von Miller is that, yes,

906
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 3: that caller is right, Bobby is right. By the end

907
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 3: of the season and in the playoffs, von Miller, if

908
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: you look at his production in terms of pressures, was

909
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 3: close to von Miller of twenty twenty two. The problem

910
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: is he was only playing like twenty five percent of

911
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: the snaps. So you can't pay someone like twenty three

912
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: million dollars when he's only making when he's only playing

913
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: a quarter of the snaps. If he wants to come back,

914
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 3: he's got the connection with Brandon Bean wants to learn

915
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 3: how to be a GM after he retires at a

916
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 3: much lower cap number than I could understand it.

917
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: But he knows and the.

918
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: Bills know that this is a player that's not just

919
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 3: he's just not going to be on the field very

920
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: often at this point.

921
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Right, And that's you know, that's why it's going to be.

922
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: If you want to get on this conversation, you candidate

923
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: eight or three zero five point fifty or eighty eight

924
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: five point fifty two five point fifty. You know that

925
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: this free agency period, a lot of the excitement over

926
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: it has happened over this last weekend with all the

927
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: these guys resigning with their clubs while the Bills and

928
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: you can look around even the Bills they lost a

929
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: ton of guys. But you know, guys like Miles Garrett

930
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: and Max Crosby don't become available. Teams are like when

931
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 1: we cannot let those guys go. I was thinking about

932
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: this last night, Chris, see what you think. Yeah, every

933
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: we talk about how some positions are paid a lot,

934
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: some positions aren't. Running back being one of the most

935
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: notable about, you know, being suppressed market in the last

936
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: handful of years. Now they got a little resurgent with

937
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: Saquon and Derrek, Henry, James Cook, guys like that this year.

938
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: But the thing about football is it is really I

939
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. It's really complicated, and

940
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: great players can make a difference for football teams no

941
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: matter what position they play, whether it's a guard, whether

942
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: it's a tackle, whether it's a line off the ball, linebacker,

943
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: and obviously edge rushers, defensive tackles, all these guys, they

944
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: can all make an enormous difference. They got Aaron Rodgers,

945
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald, who was the defensive Player of

946
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: the Year. We'd never seen a defensive tackle take over

947
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: the NFL like he did. So Safeties like Tory Polamalu,

948
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: ed Reid, the really elite great safeties. They're difference makers

949
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: for those teams. Linebackers like Terrell Bernard, all of these guys.

950
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: The coaches can tell you what they're allowed to do

951
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: because they've got a great player at that particular position.

952
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: They can call plays, design defenses where that guy is

953
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: the focal point. So it really it's getting the point

954
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: where it really does. To me, it doesn't really matter

955
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: what position these guys play. The coaching stets, particularly at

956
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: this point in history of the NFL, you've seen a

957
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: tremendously off the charts elite generational player at every position.

958
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: At this point, somewhere in the league history and how

959
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: the team maximized him. And now coaches go back look

960
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: at that and they go, oh, yeah, I see what they're

961
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: doing with this guy. If they've got a guy like that,

962
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: they max That's why I don't have a problem with

963
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: teams who are paying a running back forty two million

964
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: dollars over two years at Saquon or Derrick Henry or

965
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: James Cook. If you got a guy that your coaching

966
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: staff knows how to maximize them, most of them do

967
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: pay the guy and keep him.

968
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 4: That's a fantastic point.

969
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 3: I think I always get this with in the whole

970
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 3: pre draft process of oh, you know, safety is not

971
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: really that important. Linebackers, I think they are important. When

972
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: you don't can they can be. And if you have

973
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 3: two practice squad guys playing safety, you're gonna get victimized

974
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: over the top. If you have a third stringer and

975
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 3: a guy off the street playing linebacker, you're not gonna

976
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: have good run fits. You're not gonna be able to

977
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: cover tight ends. So I do think that. I mean,

978
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 3: it kind of sounds silly to say all positions are important,

979
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: but because of how the offenses and defenses are constantly evolving,

980
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: year over year. You can't ever just say, hey, running

981
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: backs completely unimportant. Safeties don't matter if you have a

982
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 3: Micah Hyde and a Jordan Poyer, if you have Taylor

983
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: Rep making big plays, if you have a slot receiver.

984
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 3: Ten fifteen years ago, slot receivers were afterthoughts. The Wes

985
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 3: Welkers of the world made that a starting position, and

986
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 3: now Khalil Shakir signs a big extension that not one

987
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 3: person in Buffalo or nationally is scoffing at. They understand

988
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 3: how important having a reliable yards after the catch base

989
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: slot receiver is.

990
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: So you're right.

991
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 4: The coaches, if they can get the most out.

992
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: Of their players, it's worth retaining that homegrown talent.

993
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: And I'll say this to you, and I always say

994
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: me being a former player, I'll say, you know, players

995
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: make the difference, But it's more than That's why I

996
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: said in the beginning, it's complicated because your coaching staff

997
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: really needs to do some research. And they do this too.

998
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: They call other coaches, they both at college and pro level,

999
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: and friends and guys who have acquainted with and my

1000
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: friend knows the guy, so I'm gonna have my friend

1001
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: reach out to that guy. See if I can call

1002
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: him and pick his brain, how did you maximize ed reied?

1003
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: What'd you do for that guy? How'd you get that guy?

1004
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: Why is Troy Paulamalo in the Hall of Fame? Know

1005
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: he's a five to eleven dude. Coaches matter, players matter,

1006
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: It all matters. And when you get a player who

1007
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: can really elevate his the people around him, and no

1008
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: matter what position, you gotta pay the guy and keep him.

1009
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 3: And the last thing I'll say pre break here is

1010
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 3: even if we do get to a point and we

1011
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 3: just got it last year where running back suppressed, everyone

1012
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: thinks it's not valuable, you can zig when the rest

1013
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 3: of the league is zagging and the Eagle said we're

1014
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: gonna sign Squon, We're gonna sign and Baltimore said we're

1015
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 3: gonna sign Derrick Henry. You know, when the Bills signed

1016
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, it was safety really that important?

1017
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 3: And are these guys any good? They became the best

1018
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: pass defense for the next five years. So it's almost

1019
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 3: in the team building process. It almost makes sense to

1020
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 3: look for those positions that the rest of the league

1021
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 3: is deeming as not important, undervalued, signing good players and

1022
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: being really really strong at those positions, and then suddenly

1023
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 3: those aren't unimportant positions anymore.

1024
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: So you've got a bunch of guys. A defensive tackle.

1025
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: Barnett goes to return, He goes back to the Houston Texans.

1026
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Kin Law goes to help the defense with Washington.

1027
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: He was on the judge last year.

1028
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: More we talked about more going eighty two million dollar

1029
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: deal to the two Titans. The Giants agreed with ex

1030
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: Saints cornerback of Debo Rams are resigning back up Jimmy Garoppolo,

1031
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: which is, you know, it's not that big a deal.

1032
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 1: But Chiefs signed offensive lineman Moore for two years thirty

1033
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's a left tackle, Jalen Moore. So all

1034
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: this stuff's happening. If you want to get in on

1035
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: the conversation, you can at eight or three zero five

1036
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 1: fifty or eight at eight five fifty two five fifty

1037

Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Chris Trpossel, One Bills Live. This is Buffalo

1038
00:50:43,120 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. This is One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

1039
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: Steve task along with Christoph Passo back talking with you

1040
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: about the legal tampering period. You can get in on

1041
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: the conversation at eight oh three h five fifty or

1042
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: five point fifty two five point fifty A couple of

1043
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: more things to pass around. Khalil Mack, the guy who

1044
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people in Buffalo have fond feelings for

1045
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: because he went to UB and it's been with the

1046
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: LA Chargers for last handful of years, has re signed

1047
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: for the back with the Chargers on a one year deal,

1048
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed, eighteen million dollar contract. That's Khalil Mack back

1049
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 1: to the LA Chargers signed a deal. Also, the Jets

1050
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: pass rusher Hassan Reddick is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer,

1051
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: greed to terms with that team. So those two things

1052
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: just happened. There's all kinds of things going on as well.

1053
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: Offensive tackle Dan Moore junior green to a four year,

1054
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: eighty two million dollar deal with fifty million guaranteed with

1055
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans.

1056
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 3: And that's a huge one that indicates the lack of

1057
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 3: overall tailent in free agency because Dan Moore was one

1058
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 3: of the worst left tackles in football last season.

1059
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I just gotta give my analysis. He's out there,

1060
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: can you see?

1061
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 3: But he was available and he's reasonably young, he went

1062
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: to Texas A and M I remember scouting him. Does

1063
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 3: not have enough power to deal with just the strength

1064
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 3: that you normally see at the edge rusher spot. There

1065
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 3: were a lot of Steelers fans that I know that

1066
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 3: we're not happy when Dan Moore was out there trying

1067
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 3: to protect the blind side for whoever was their quarterback,

1068
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: whether it was Russell Wilson or Justin Fields last season.

1069
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 3: So that just speaks to the amount of money that's

1070
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 3: available for some of these teams like the Panthers and

1071
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: the Patriots and the Commanders and the Chargers, but that

1072
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 3: it's not a bunch of high price or high level,

1073
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 3: elite type players available this year in free agency.

1074
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, who was formerly with the Dallas Cowboys, has

1075
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: signed a deal twelve point five million dollars guaranteed in

1076
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: year one, a three year thirty million dollar deal. Twenty

1077
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: of it is fully guaranteed twelve point five in the

1078
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: first year. He's going to the Jacksonville Jaguars from the

1079
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Houston Texas have been busy. They re signed

1080
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: a one year deal to dare Ugan Bowale. Braxon Barrios

1081
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: signed a one year, two million dollar deal. Braxton Barrios

1082
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: has bounced around the league a little bit, but now

1083
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: he's in Houston. Christian Kirk acquired in a trade with

1084
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in exchange for a twenty twenty sixth seventh

1085
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: round pick. The trade won't be official until till the

1086
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: start of the new league year. That's Christian Kirk is

1087
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: going to be a huge buddy. Yeah, it's gonna be

1088
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: a Christian going to be a Houston Texan. Sheldon Rankins,

1089
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, agreed to a one year deal with a

1090
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: max value of seven million dollars. And this is the

1091
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: yeah edge. Derek Barnett returns to the Houston Texans on

1092
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: a one year, five million dollar deal. The Steelers tight

1093
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: end Donald Parnham Junior signed a one year contract with

1094
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,479
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and of course Dk Metcalf traded for me. Yeah,

1095
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: big Seahawks, five year, one hundred and fifty million dollars.

1096
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: When the cap came in, it was the whole cap

1097
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: was forty eight million. I remember back in the day.

1098
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: But now you've got a guy making thirty million a year.

1099
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 3: And we're not used to the Steelers being big movers

1100
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: and shakers.

1101
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 4: They don't do the agency.

1102
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 3: They usually don't it's a new GM or new SGM.

1103
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: Omar Khan.

1104
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: It was a little surprising see such a big splash

1105
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 3: on the veteran trade market. It's not predominantly and historically

1106
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 3: what the Steelers have done.

1107
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: The last time they did it, they did it with

1108
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, where they gave up a high draft pick

1109
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: for a proven player. It was Jerome Bettis in the

1110
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties with the It was with the Rams. Now

1111
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: that turned out pretty good because Jerome's in the Hall

1112
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: of Fame and it was his third year when they

1113
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: traded for him. So if it goes like that, that

1114
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 1: spills good things for DK.

1115
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: And even though which you watching this show or listening

1116
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 3: is probably your best way to get any free agent

1117
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 3: news because it seems like ex Twitter is going in

1118
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: and out. They're having a bunch of outages today. I'm

1119
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 3: not able to refresh my timeline, but I'm getting the

1120
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 3: notifications that I always set up on the first day

1121
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 3: of free agency. A big one that does impact the Bills.

1122
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 3: We talked about it in the previous segment that oh

1123
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 3: it was going to be the Panthers for the Eagles

1124
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 3: free agent defensive tackle Milton Williams, but we said that

1125
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 3: some of the insiders were reporting that a deal was

1126
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 3: not done. Well, well, it's now official that he is

1127
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 3: signing with the New England Patriots. Milton Williams great defensive

1128
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 3: tackle like role player, but kind of came on stronger

1129
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 3: at the end of his rookie deal in Philadelphia as

1130
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 3: more of a full time player.

1131
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: He's a pass rusher.

1132
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 3: He's a unique frame like six three, three hundred pounds,

1133
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: can play a little bit of edge. He's signing a

1134
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: monster deal. I don't know if the if the financials

1135
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 3: are out yet, but I'm assuming it's going to be

1136
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 3: a big deal with the Patriots, not the Panthers. So

1137
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 3: the Bills will have to deal with Milton Williams two

1138
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 3: times per season starting this year.

1139
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if Milton Williams is as effective.

1140
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 3: Not playing next bunch of Georgia first round right, not

1141
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 3: being the fourth or fifth guy in the rotation. He's

1142
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: the he's the new number one.

1143
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: But he has but hey, teams are high on the guy.

1144
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: They like him, they watch him on film and they

1145
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: can tell who's where he's getting helped by. If there

1146
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: is outstanding guys around him, you can tell if you

1147
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: want film. So obviously the Patriots like what they saw

1148
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: on Milton and they're gonna give him a shot at it.

1149
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: And he's a good player. Don't get me wrong. I

1150
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a flop. But that's a big contract.

1151
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 3: It's a big contract, and they had one hundred and

1152
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 3: twenty one million dollars in cap space, so we shouldn't

1153
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 3: be super surprised. It's it's hard to name a bunch

1154
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 3: of other players on the Patriots defense after this past season.

1155
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 3: Christian Barmore has had like the blood clot issue, so

1156
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 3: we're not totally sure. He kind of has an uncertain future.

1157
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 3: They needed more of a push up front it is.

1158
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 3: I will say, I think Milton Williams will be a

1159
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 3: solid player. The athleticism that he tested coming out of

1160
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 3: Louisiana Tech indicates that and how well he's played.

1161
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 4: But I will.

1162
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 3: Say going from being a really really good rotational piece

1163
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 3: to the number one guy that historically has kind of

1164
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 3: been the recipe for not living up to a contract

1165
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 3: in free agency. When when you're someone that is the

1166
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 3: new team that's acquiring you is expecting you to be

1167
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 3: the Jalen Carter type player. When that's never where you

1168
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 3: were earlier in your career. Usually that player doesn't quite

1169
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 3: live up to all the money that a team like

1170
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: the Patriots.

1171
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 4: That has a ton of money is going to give to.

1172
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: Them twenty six million dollars a year.

1173
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 4: WHOA, that's like as rusher money.

1174
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,479
Speaker 1: Yes it is, and they're they're you know, and he's

1175
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: like every other player, particularly those guys down inside. You

1176
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: get some strong opinions from people about how good or

1177
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: how bad the guy is. And you know, there's some

1178
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: people in Milton Williams is going to be this Hall

1179
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: of Fame do I mean they think he's that good

1180
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: because the guy's athleticism tested the way it did. And

1181
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: he's had certainly the you know, good start to his

1182
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: career so far, now that he's through his rookie contract

1183
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, but we'll see.

1184
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: He set a career high in pressures with forty this

1185
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 3: past season in the regular season on three hundred and

1186
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 3: two pass rushing snaps. And to kind of frame that,

1187
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 3: anytime you're a a a ten percent pressure rate at

1188
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: defensive tackle, you're doing something right. You're a borderline elite

1189
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 3: level player and he was ahead of that with forty pressures,

1190
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: but he did it in the right year. He did

1191
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 3: it in his contract year. Hadn't ever been close to

1192
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 3: that forty pressures until his contract season.

1193
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, it's a it's a sparse crop

1194
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: of quality guys. And we heard and I can't remember

1195
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: who was he going to sign with. He was going

1196
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: to sign the Panthers. That's why he's making twenty six

1197
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. They shooped in, They swooped in.

1198
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: They said, you're not going to get it. The numbers

1199
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: already way up here. If you want us to get

1200
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: to walk away from what we're talking about, you got

1201
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: a smart move by you got to you gotta blow

1202
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: our socks off and the pages come in at twenty

1203
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: six million bucks a year and that'll do it. Yeah,

1204
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: So that'll do it. That's we've see see.

1205
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 3: How much money talks in free agency with Miles Garrett. Yes,

1206
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 3: k Metcalf wanted to go to warm weather contender and

1207
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 3: he goes to Pittsburgh, which can you know they're with

1208
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin always in the mix, but it's not a

1209
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 3: warm weathered climate and they don't have a quarterback right now.

1210
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 3: So money talks, and we're not just.

1211
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Money either, Chris, it's it's negotiating tactics.

1212
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 4: Yes, using the media's Now.

1213
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: That's how Deshaun Watson landed that outrageous deal in Cleveland.

1214
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: The agent they were out there. Remember, Deshaun was very

1215
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: highly sought after. He led the league in throwing on

1216
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: a four and twelve team, and this was just at

1217
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the brink of where his personal off the field problems

1218
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: were starting, and nobody you know, so he was a

1219
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: highly sought after commodity at that position at that point

1220
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: and number of teams involved, and the agent orchestrated it,

1221
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: and Mitt just made a call and really really kind

1222
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,479
Speaker 1: of challenged the manhood of the Cleveland Browns, like, you can't.

1223
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: You guys don't have the money. You're not even in

1224
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: this conversation. You can't do it. And and Cleveland said,

1225
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, hold my beer. And he got that contract

1226
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: he signed and now they they're the worst thing that

1227
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: could have happened to Cleveland was they said yes. They

1228
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: they got backed into a corner where they were going

1229
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: to have to either cower and they they just didn't

1230
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 1: want the ownership didn't want to do this. So oh yeah,

1231
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: you think you can. You don't think I got the

1232
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: money for this. Watch this, And that's exactly what happened.

1233
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: So that you see these contracts like this where you

1234
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: get nine teams, it's like, well, all of a sudden,

1235
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: there's a lad. That's what happens. The agents are good

1236
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: at that. They get a relationship with the GM. They

1237
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: know the relationship with the GM and the ownership. They

1238
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: know what that dynamic is and it's different for every team,

1239
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: and they use it and you use the media. They

1240
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: push that lever meta everything, and you get teams that

1241
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: if you play it right and the right information comes

1242
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: out at the right moment, that team jumps. That team jumps.

1243
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 4: I will never forget.

1244
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 3: And this would be what two or three years ago

1245
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 3: now when they signed him the Browns with Deshaun Watson,

1246
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 3: Exactly what you just pinpointed happened with Adam Schefter. The

1247
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: night before Deshaun Watson signed in Cleveland, Adam Schefter sent

1248
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 3: out a tweet and it's probably what was told to

1249
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 3: him by Deshaun Watson's Agentland Browns are no longer in

1250
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 3: the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. It was either going to be

1251
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons or the New Orleans Saints. So everyone said, man,

1252
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 3: all right, at least the Browns try they try to

1253
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 3: fix their quarterback position. The next day he signs a

1254
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 3: fully guaranteed deal in Cleveland, So exactly what you said.

1255
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 3: I'll never forget that tweet because me, along with everyone else,

1256
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 3: thought the Browns are out of it. The next day

1257
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 3: record life changing, generation changing money for Deshaun Watson. Obviously

1258
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 3: it's been like the worst contract in NFL history, but

1259
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 3: that is that is a prime example, a more splashy

1260
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 3: example of probably what just happened with Milton Williams leak

1261
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 3: out that he's going to sign with the Panthers. So

1262
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 3: then the Patriots have to go for maybe twenty three

1263
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: or twenty four to twenty five million, all the way

1264
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 3: up to twenty six million dollars per year.

1265
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are raising eyebrows over the Milton Williams signing.

1266
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: It's they landed their guy. I mean, Patriots were aggressive

1267
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: throughout the process. They're trying to make get they're that

1268
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: position their top priority. They got probably arguably one of

1269
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: the best guy out there who's available, and we'll see

1270
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: how We'll see how it goes. But that's a that's

1271
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: a big number for that guy.

1272
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 3: And it's it's kind of the opposite obviously of the Bills.

1273
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 3: And we know where the Patriots are. They've been rebuilding,

1274
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 3: but there's a lot more optimism for them than say

1275
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 3: the Jets at this point.

1276
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 4: But with the Bills resigning, thro Bernard.

1277
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 3: And Khalil Shakir and Greg Russo and you talked about

1278
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 3: being a player and being that homegrown talent. The coaches

1279
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 3: know you, that they know your strengths and weaknesses and

1280
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 3: how to utilize you. When you're a team like the Patriots,

1281
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 3: you got to just roll the dice and say we're

1282
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 3: betting on your upside and we hope in that situation.

1283
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: The only problem I have is this, how big the

1284
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: number is. The guy is the right guy, He is

1285
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: the guy in this market for that guy, you're gonna

1286
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: get him. That's the guy you want to get. Now,

1287
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: certainly it's going to cost him, and it did. But

1288
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the guy's twenty five years old, ye young, and they

1289
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: got him high athletic, So that's they made the right

1290
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 1: move at the right time at the right price. Who

1291
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: knows that the CAP's going on all this stuff fine,

1292
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: you got him. You can't you can't criticize the logic

1293
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: behind the move, just maybe the number and we'll see. Uh.

1294
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I've said this before, the hardest part of this, you know,

1295
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: this free agency move, particularly when you get talking about

1296
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: the big guys down inside in the NFL, forces those

1297
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: guys to play highly motivated and sometimes when they've got

1298
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: eight figures in the bank, that motivation it's hard hard

1299
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: to find.

1300
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 3: Well, Milton Williams seemed pretty motivated in this in this

1301
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 3: contract year forty pressures.

1302
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, it looked the same when it looked when he

1303
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: looked this, Well, it looked the same when he's practicing

1304
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: in thirty degree weather outside on a Wednesday. And you

1305
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: know that's the question. Sometimes it does some of these guys.

1306
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: It comes from inside and that's where you want. Those

1307
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: are the really truly great ones. Milton Williams might be

1308
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: one of those guys. But that's what it's always been

1309
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: about for me. Those big guys got to play, and

1310
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: they got to play with some passion or they're just guys.

1311
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 3: And I guess differently to not that the Bills ever

1312
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 3: like bottomed out to where the Patriots are, but even

1313
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 3: when they went six and ten in Josh's rookie year,

1314
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 3: or even go back to twenty seventeen before they broke

1315
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 3: the playoff drought. They needed a lot of guys, but

1316
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 3: they didn't break the bank where, hey, we're gonna roll

1317
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 3: the dice on a free agent.

1318
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 4: We don't know.

1319
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 3: We don't know how motivated he is, we don't know

1320
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 3: his strengths and weaknesses beyond what we see on film.

1321
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 4: We don't know how hardy practices.

1322
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 3: They didn't necessarily just bargain bin shop, but bringing in

1323
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 3: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, those were lower level free

1324
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 3: agents where if they don't work out, it's not gonna

1325
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 3: hurt your cap down the road.

1326
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 4: If Milton Williams doesn't work.

1327
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 3: Out, If Trayvon Marrik, who signed with the Panthers' safety

1328
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 3: from the Raiders three years fifty one million dollars, if

1329
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: he doesn't work out, then you're looking at dead cap

1330
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 3: and you're looking to replace that position in a couple

1331
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 3: of years. It's almost like, even if you are in

1332
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 3: the rebuilding ish stages, it seems to make more sense

1333
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 3: to be low level, mid tier free agents and do

1334
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 3: your most of your team building work via the draft.

1335
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Like the Bills have, Yeah, Trayvon Mooring from the Raiders

1336
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: going to the Panthers three years, fifty one million dollars.

1337
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,919
Speaker 1: That's the safety off the market, and obviously I think

1338
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the Panthers that must have been a highly sought after

1339
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: guy for them, three years fifty million.

1340
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 4: He's a good player.

1341
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 3: He's been a starter for the last two seasons at TCU.

1342
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 3: He was a ballhawk. Has not quite been to that

1343
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 3: level with the Raiders. That secondary has not been great.

1344
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: But being young also helps in free agency, as you

1345
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 3: know that when you're saying I'm twenty five and I'm

1346
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 3: just reaching my prime, I think the teams are willing

1347
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 3: to bet more and allocate more money to you, like

1348
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 3: you're you know, Milton Williams or Trayvon Mooring. One other one,

1349
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 3: the Rams are signing former Bill poona Ford three year

1350
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 3: deal worth up to twenty nine point six million dollars.

1351
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 3: I wonder if the Bills can use that and say, hey,

1352
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 3: look he came here. He goes to the Chargers last season,

1353
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 3: plays pretty well. Now signs life change a deal with

1354
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 3: life changing money that I think does kind of factor

1355
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 3: into what the Bills can do in terms of signing

1356
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 3: one year, guys.

1357
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Because he did not his tenure in Buffalo was short.

1358
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Didn't play a ton, didn't play a ton, had a

1359
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: hard time finding his way on the tip, but he

1360
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: goes has hard time finding his way on the field,

1361
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: but he goes to Chargers and plays well. That's something

1362
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: you rarely see. That's something you rare to see a

1363
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: guy going someplace else and playing better there than he

1364
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: did here. But obviously they had a better spot for

1365
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: him than the Bills. Let's let's go to the phones

1366
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: real quick and take a call from Tom on the

1367
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: west side. Tom, what do you got on your mind?

1368
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: You're on with Steve and Chris.

1369
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 6: Good afternoon, guys. Listen. I'm glad Allen and Shakir and

1370
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 6: Bernard all got their money, but I'm wondering about you.

1371
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 6: Guys are always saying James Cook, he's a running back,

1372
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 6: he's easily replaced. What about Benford because he's a pretty

1373
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 6: damn good corner and right now we're very short back there.

1374
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 6: And I'm also sorry to see von Miller goal. I

1375
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 6: hope he comes back on a reduced contract. Go ahead

1376
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 6: and talk about it.

1377
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Thanks you bet, Thanks, Thanks Tom, appreciate it.

1378
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that deal is coming. I don't

1379
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 3: know if it's happening. I mean within the next I

1380
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,839
Speaker 3: don't know days or weeks. But before Christian Benford steps

1381
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 3: on the field in twenty twenty five, entering what would

1382
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 3: be his contract year, we saw.

1383
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: It he's coming into his contract.

1384
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 3: We saw it with Tredevius White of years back, that

1385
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 3: he signed right before the start of the season. The Bills,

1386
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 3: especially a sixth rounder from Villanova, who has been nothing

1387
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 3: but an extremely hard worker, doesn't say a lot, just

1388
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 3: gets the job done. Have unfortunate concussions in the playoffs,

1389
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 3: but Brandon Bean said at the combine that Christian Benford

1390
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 3: is fine, He's gonna I would be shocked if the

1391
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 3: Bill has just let his contract expire before he begins

1392
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 3: to play in the fall. Christian Benford, I think, will

1393
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 3: sign a very sizeable deal and it will be worth

1394
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 3: it because when he's on the field, and he's mostly

1395
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 3: been durable, especially in the regular season, he is one

1396
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 3: of the best young cornerbacks in the NFL.

1397
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was. He was kind of singled out

1398
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: this year by the analytics people saying, hey, Benford's actually

1399
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: playing really well over there in Buffalo. I'm looking up

1400
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: his contract right now.

1401
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 4: It's nothing. He's a six round.

1402
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah he's a six round. Yeah he's gonna make three

1403
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: point three this year. That's his cap hit. So it's

1404
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: not nothing, but yeah, he's outperformed it. Oh do you

1405
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: think seven thousand?

1406
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 4: He's big physics got this year.

1407
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: He's like he came in the same year as James Cook.

1408
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: So they are. They're all the same thing. They both

1409
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: have one year left on their deal, I guess, is

1410
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and so they're both sitting there. There's

1411
01:09:55,680 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: no real hurry to get him done, except I hate

1412
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 1: to say it. They both been extremely valuable to this club,

1413
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: both of them, Benford and Cook. If you're gonna go

1414
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: with which guy is the most irreplaceable, it's gotta be Benford.

1415
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Corners are hard to find running backs. There's a ton

1416
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: of them. I hate keep saying that. I don't want

1417
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: to disrespect James Cook in any way, shape or form,

1418
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: or my good friend Thurman Thomas or any of these guys.

1419
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a brutal way to make a living playing

1420
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL. But there's a ton of

1421
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,799
Speaker 1: guys who do it, and do it well. Maybe not elite,

1422
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe not great, but do it well. That's that's why

1423
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: it's so hard to be an elite running back. And

1424
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk out of both sides of

1425
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: my mouth, but we said it. If you got a

1426
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: guy who's a difference maker for your club, you gotta

1427
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: pay him and keep him.

1428
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 3: That's just And the Bills have a long history of

1429
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 3: doing that under this, Yes they do.

1430
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 4: They don't like guys just test the waters and let

1431
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 4: them go.

1432
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: They I would, but the question is still there, which

1433
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: guy do they do first, Benford or Cook? Or do

1434
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: they do them both. I think both of these guys

1435
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: may get done this offseason, but it might be closer

1436
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: to training camp or the end of training camp, like

1437
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: we have seen the Bills do in other years. We'll see.

1438
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: I'm both those guys need Would you'd love both those

1439
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: guys to get resigned. Benford's a bigger number, a lot

1440
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: more corners, a lot more expensive than a running.

1441
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 3: Back, and the parameters for that deal Jimmy or j Seehorn,

1442
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 3: not James Horn. J Shrn signed a four year, one

1443
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar contract with seventy million dollars guarantee. Today

1444
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 3: a lot of jaws were dropping on Twitter for that

1445
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 3: because he's been super injured. He's played like half of

1446
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 3: his potential games since being a first round pick in

1447
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. So four years, one hundred million, seventy million guaranteed.

1448
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 3: That might be the framework for a Christian Benferde.

1449
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: This is just coming over now that the we talked

1450
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks trading dk Metcalf, cutting Tyler Lockett, and

1451
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: trading Russ Wilson two years ago, firing Pete Carroll.

1452
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 4: A totally new machine everything.

1453
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: He thought, well, they're not gonna trade Geno Smith this

1454
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: offseason without having a plan. And it looks like now

1455
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: that Sam Donald is going to be a Seattle Seahawks.

1456
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: He looks like he's agreed to terms on one hundred

1457
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: million dollar three year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

1458
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 4: That's reasonable, It.

1459
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Is reasonable, very reasonable, three years.

1460
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 3: There were thoughts that he could maybe get fifty million

1461
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 3: a year, so to get like thirty three million is

1462
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 3: pretty doable.

1463
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: But the Seattle Seahawks are landing probably the well, the

1464
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: best quarterback at least the most the one that's young.

1465
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm twenty four, twenty twenty four, so Seattle Seahawks one

1466
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar deal with with Sam Darnald that we'll see.

1467
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 3: And the connection there is their offensive coordinator, Clint Kubiak,

1468
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 3: which is Gary Kubiak's son, was the pasking coordinator in

1469
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 3: San Francisco with the forty nine ers when Sam Donald

1470
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 3: was two years ago. When Sam Donald, yeah, was the backup.

1471
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 3: You know, learn from Kyle Shanahan that kind of springboarded him.

1472
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 3: The connection to Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings head coach, so

1473
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 3: a lot of times and you certainly know this from

1474
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 3: your time playing assistance that worked with guys in different spots.

1475
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 3: We mentioned it with Harold Landry and Mike Rabel. It

1476
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 3: can even be so much so as an offensive coordinator saying, hey,

1477
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 3: I've spent a year with this guy in practice, I

1478
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 3: believe that I can get the most out of him.

1479
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 3: That could be what's at play here with Clint Kobiak,

1480
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 3: the Seahawks offensive coordinator, and the Seattle's decision to sign

1481
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 3: Sam Donald because they had a previous connection together in

1482
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 3: San Francisco in twenty twenty three.

1483
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's there, it is. That's the first domino

1484
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to drop in the quarterback carousel. So that's gonna have

1485
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: a lot to say about where Aaron Rodgers lands, Justin

1486
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: Fields lands, Russ Wilson lands, Kirk Cousins if he does

1487
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: indeed get on the market. And Atlantis continues to say,

1488
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: we're not We're not dealing. We're not dealing our twenty

1489
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: seven having million dollar backup quarterback. Okay, Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones.

1490
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 1: The only tame I even heard mentioned with Daniel Jones

1491
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: has been the Indianapolis Colts.

1492
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,759
Speaker 3: And they've run through the Matt Ryans and the Philip

1493
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 3: Rivers and the Carson Wentz like.

1494
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's everybody. So there it is. Sam Donald goes

1495
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks, or it looks to be so

1496
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: at this point.

1497
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 3: And that obviously opens the door for JJ McCarthy, the

1498
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 3: Vikings first round pick from twenty twenty four, who did

1499
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,679
Speaker 3: not play. They must, I mean, even though they got

1500
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 3: quality play from Sam Donald, the playoff game was very bad.

1501
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 3: It kind of looked like Jets Sam Donald in that game.

1502
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 3: They felt like this was a time to turn the

1503
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 3: chapter to JJ McCarthy, their first round pick.

1504
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. Word has it from Tom Pellisero

1505
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: that Gino Smith turned down that deal in Seattle.

1506
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 4: And got more with the Raiders, got more with the Raiders.

1507
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 3: He's a better quarterback and I think he's he's more

1508
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 3: environment proof that Sam Donald. Like you mentioned it, that's

1509
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 3: good point that Sam Donald had justin Jefferson, a great

1510
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 3: offensive line, Christian Darris saw a quarterback friendly coach Jordan Addison, TJ.

1511
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 3: Hogginson came back from injury, and a high level defense

1512
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 3: that turned the football over a lot that was run

1513
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 3: by Brian Flores there in Minnesota. We've seen Sam Donald

1514
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 3: up close and personal when he was on the Jets,

1515
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 3: when the situation wasn't great.

1516
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 4: And you started this show.

1517
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 3: Saying, man that Seahawks' situation is Jason Smith and Jigobs

1518
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 3: and not much else. So, only paying around thirty three

1519
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,719
Speaker 3: to thirty five million per year for Sam Donald, that's

1520
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,959
Speaker 3: a decent value by today's standards.

1521
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: But eighteenth on the list of current quarterbacks.

1522
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Okay, eighth so and that's kind of where I see

1523
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 3: Sam Donald more so than the high level play that

1524
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 3: we got as the.

1525
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Bottom of the starters who were not on their rookie deals. Yeah, exact,

1526
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: the bottom of the heat of guys who are actual

1527
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: starters who are.

1528
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 3: Not so value value wise, it makes sense. I just

1529
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 3: question whether or not Sam Donald can be twenty twenty

1530
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 3: four Minnesota Viking Sam Donald with the Seahawks.

1531
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Before we go to break here, I just wanted to

1532
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: acknowledge one of the guys. He's an Orchard Park kid,

1533
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Craig Wolfley, who is on the broadcast team for the

1534
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, brother of a good friend of mine, Ron Wolfley,

1535
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 1: and I knew Craig as well. He was a friend

1536
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: of mine passed away. The Pittsburgh Steelers have put out

1537
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: a statement. I've reached out to Ron, his brother, and

1538
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 1: told him of my condolences. I had lunch with Craig

1539
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: just in the preseason when the Bills were down there

1540
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: and said hello to him. The Wolfly family has my condolences,

1541
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: and Bill's Mafia should reach out to them and give

1542
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: them their best. Kind of Buffalo guys from back in

1543
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: the day and who've gone on to great things in

1544
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Craig Wolfly passed away. He's a

1545
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: beloved member of the steel Steelers family. Art ruined me

1546
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: the second put out a statement about it, and we're

1547
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: all sad. So I just wanted to say that before

1548
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 1: we go to the break. You're listening to Buffalo Bills

1549
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 1: or One Bills Live, presented by Collide Health. This is

1550
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Buffer Little Bills Radio. Thank you, Welcome back to one

1551
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: of Bill's life Steve Task along with Chris Trapasso. Some

1552
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: stuff trickling in now there. People are speculating that.

1553
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 3: Now that Vet Darnold, Yeah, that domino has fallen.

1554
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: It looks like Justin Fields Mike might want to land

1555
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: with the Jets. What do you think about Justin Fields.

1556
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: I've got my own thoughts about him. My thoughts are this,

1557
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: he was foreign to The big thing is there's fourign

1558
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: two Last year with the Pittsburgh Steeters, they benched him

1559
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: and brought Russ in when as soon as Russ was healthy,

1560
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields was a really good soldier and did

1561
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: everything right and at said the same, said the right

1562
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 1: things and did the right things in that in a

1563
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: tough spot. But even at the end of the year

1564
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: when they were struggling, they only brought him in for

1565
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: a handful of plays and stuff. Justin Fields, Uh. And

1566
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: we said at the beginning of the show, we thought, yeah,

1567
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: he's got every right to say, hey, I'm gonna test

1568
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: and see what I'm like you guys, I don't know

1569
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 1: you guys anything. You benched me. So do you trust

1570
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Justin Fields in that? Or do you trust Mike tom

1571
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: when the guy whose job was on the line, who

1572
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: actually won more games than they lost last year, who

1573
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: knows more about Justin Fields than anybody, and he benched

1574
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: the guy. To me, I want no part of Justin

1575
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 1: Fields if I'm like Russ Wilson put him on the

1576
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: bench and kept him.

1577
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 3: There in like mid thirties, Russ Wilson, who was not anywhere.

1578
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Bad Russ Wilson with a bad offense. I'm I'm with,

1579
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm Justin Fields does not sound attractive to me.

1580
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 3: He's young, he's a supreme athlete for the position. But

1581
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 3: at this point, I was you took the words right

1582
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 3: out of my mouth. We know what type of passer

1583
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is. It was the same case at Ohio State,

1584
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 3: and I'm always going to go back to the draft stuff.

1585
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 3: When the first raid is open, he has the arm

1586
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 3: talent to make the throw of the accuracy Eh pretty

1587
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 3: good at times, not great when he has to move

1588
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 3: off of that first read, which you have to do

1589
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 3: a lot in the NFL, he has severe problems. Now

1590
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 3: he can take off and run a He's a high

1591
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 3: caliber athlete, like I said, but beyond his age and

1592
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 3: his athleticism, the most important part of playing the position,

1593
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 3: throwing the football, he is below average. So he's really

1594
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 3: only attractive because of his age and his athleticism as

1595
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 3: a as a.

1596
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: Runner, and also because of the other guy's available, Sam

1597
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Darnold not being one of them now that he's going

1598
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 1: to go to the Seattle Seahawks. So Justin Fields is

1599
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: Jets signed.

1600
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 3: Yep, Jets are signing Justin Fields two years, forty million dollars,

1601
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 3: thirty million guaranteed.

1602
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, that's cheap for a starting

1603
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: quarterbally cheap for a starting quarterback. But that's good for

1604
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 1: the AFC east of the other teams. I don't think

1605
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: Justin Field is going to be able to win there.

1606
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,599
Speaker 3: And what we were just outlining to get twenty million

1607
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 3: dollars a year at quarterback today to be a starter

1608
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,600
Speaker 3: shows that there wasn't a huge market for him and

1609
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 3: that most of the league understands his limitations. Where he is,

1610
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:48,839
Speaker 3: you know, entering year five in the NFL.

1611
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm and I'd be hard pressed to believe that

1612
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers didn't give him a similar kind of maybe

1613
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: not as much guaranteed, but maybe he put a similar deal.

1614
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think they would have.

1615
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that's basically nothing for the starting position today, for.

1616
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: A guy that you're giving the starting job to. And

1617
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: let me say it's man. You can see it now,

1618
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, see how it's gonna go for for Justin

1619
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: Fields in New York. They're not paying him anything. He'll

1620
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: have the shortest of leashes. He's gonna come out and

1621
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. He's gonna play like a bad Tyrod Taylor.

1622
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: He won't he can't throw it, won't release it. You

1623
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,560
Speaker 1: have guys running open, won't be able to see it,

1624
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: won't be able to throw it, won't be able to

1625
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: He'll run well whatever, He'll run well, He'll do some

1626
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: stuff and people will get fed up with that in

1627
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: about four weeks.

1628
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 3: And then this Jets team is rebuilding. This is not

1629
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 3: the same defense that they've had.

1630
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 1: Now.

1631
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 3: Do I think the defense is gonna be terrible? No,

1632
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 3: But to lose dj Reid Uh, to lose his son Reddick,

1633
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 3: they don't. They're having Jermaine Johnson, who was their star

1634
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 3: edg rusher in twenty twenty three, come off an injury,

1635
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 3: serious injury. Will McDonald play well for them? Quinn Williams,

1636
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 3: Quincy Williams. There, they don't have as much stability at

1637
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 3: the safety position. New head coach, new GM, new coordinators

1638
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 3: across the board. Yeah, they have some pieces with Sauce

1639
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 3: Gardner and Bryce Hall, but you're right and that the

1640
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 3: fan base and the media in and around New York

1641
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 3: City are usually not very friendly when a quarterback is

1642
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 3: not playing at an elite level. I think the lesser

1643
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: version of Tyrod Taylor is a perfect way to frame

1644
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 3: what feels like the most likely scenario for Justin Fields.

1645
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: The best you can hope for with Fields, I think,

1646
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 1: given what we know about him now, now they may tap

1647
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: into something we haven't seen. But the most you can

1648
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: hope is for a guy that doesn't lose you for you,

1649
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: that's the roof.

1650
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 3: And then what about their offensive line? They just lost

1651
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 3: Morgan Moses, Tyrone Smith is a free agent.

1652
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Now.

1653
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 3: They have Olufashanu, who was a first round pick out

1654
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 3: of Penn State last year that played a little bit

1655
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 3: as a rookie, has upside, but the interior of the

1656
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 3: offensive line, John Simpson at left guard, Joe Tipman at center,

1657
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 3: Elijah Vertt Tucker former first rounder, has been very good

1658
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 3: at guard.

1659
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: And Elijavia Tucker a pretty good players. They're good or good.

1660
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 3: Vera Tucker's dealt with a bunch of injuries, and we

1661
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 3: talked about it all offseason. I remember, how is the

1662
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,640
Speaker 3: offensive line going to look for Aaron Rodgers. Oh, you

1663
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 3: got two stable veterans that get injured a lot, Morgan Moses,

1664
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith.

1665
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 4: Those players might not be back.

1666
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 3: And if you have justin fields behind an offensive line

1667
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 3: that is shoddy, he's going to take off far more

1668
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 3: often than he's going to stand in, get to his

1669
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 3: second and third read and find the open receiver.

1670
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting stuff. We'll have to wait and see. Steve

1671
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:32,480
Speaker 1: Tasher and Chris Jrpasso.

1672
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 4: Here, we're getting some news here.

1673
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: We got a line three fifty or eighty eight five

1674
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. I'll say this too. You can

1675
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: feel it. It feels like the Bills are are kind

1676
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 1: of like holding both hands up, stepping back from the

1677
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: free ation mark and taking care of their own guys.

1678
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: We just had Terrell Bernard in here, Rousseau's contract extension,

1679
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,719
Speaker 1: of course, the huge deal for Josh Allen over the weekend,

1680
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,799
Speaker 1: the Khalil Shakir deal, and we've been talking about James

1681
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Cook and Chris Benford getting redone. So this has been

1682
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: a year, an off season, or at least a stretch

1683
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: here since the end of the season, where the Bills

1684
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: are kind of kind of putting their arms around their

1685
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: own guys and the free agents as down a market

1686
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: as it is, the Bill, they're getting big money and

1687
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: the Bills have said, you know what, no thanks. Now

1688
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: that may change as we get deeper into it. Yes,

1689
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: the Bills might dip into it by the time free

1690
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: agency starts.

1691
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, Wednesday.

1692
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: Wednesday four, Maybe the Bills will, you know, they'll pull

1693
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: in a corner, pull in a safety, pull in some

1694
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: defensive linement, whatever. Maybe we'll hear about it even today

1695
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: after we get off the air or whatever. But that's

1696
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of the vibe the Bills are kind of and

1697
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: let's face it, two you can make positive or negative

1698
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: out of it. Most teams, particularly in the AFC, are

1699
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: chasing this team. They're chasing this team and taking care

1700
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: of the horses that have been out running all these

1701
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 1: other teams before. Is probably a pretty good idea. Let's

1702
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: take care of the guys who have put you out

1703
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: in front.

1704
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 3: This is what you want to do when you're a

1705
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 3: GM draft really well, you can look back at that

1706
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,799
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two draft class for the Bills with Terrel Bernard,

1707
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 3: with Khalisha kir with Christian Benford and James Cook, and

1708
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 3: then three years later re sign those guys that you

1709
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 3: have had in house.

1710
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 4: They've played well for you.

1711
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 3: You understand what they can and can't do where they

1712
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 3: can still get better. Greg Russou obviously the year before

1713
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one.

1714
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 4: The first rounder. They're doing it the right way.

1715
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 3: And I think back to the prime of the Patriots dynasty.

1716
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 3: Free agency would start and it wasn't until the third

1717
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 3: or the fourth day that the Patriots would sign someone

1718
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 3: that everyone thought would get kind of big money and

1719
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 3: they signed them to a one year, four million dollar deal.

1720
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 3: And the Bills have been in on those one year deals.

1721
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 3: They've gotten players. That's the way to ultimately do it.

1722
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 3: You have your homegrown talent as your core. The Josh Allens,

1723
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 3: the Greg Russo's, the Terrel Bernard's and Shakirs and then

1724
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 3: add little bits and pieces and probably for the Bills

1725
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 3: mostly on defense, second and third wave of free agency.

1726
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's Brandon Bean started doing that when he

1727
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: got here, and I thought it was a brilliant move.

1728
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: And other teams have started to do it more and

1729
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: where you've seen it, like you said, around the league

1730
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: where the one year deals are really sought after, not

1731
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: for the obviously the high end guys, but everybody because

1732
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: it gives those guys you bring him in, they've got

1733
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: a one year deal and if they're at the right age,

1734
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: which a lot of them are, they got a chance

1735
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: to hit a home run if they come in, and yeah,

1736
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: they come in and hit a home runs. It's been

1737
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: a really good move financially for the Buffalo Bills as

1738
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: well as roster wise, roster building. So we'll see if

1739
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,799
Speaker 1: they can continue to do it. The Steve Tasker, Christo Passer,

1740
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, we'll come back and get it.

1741
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: We'll take one or two last phone calls if you want,

1742
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: before we call it quits. First day of legal tampering

1743
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You're listening to One Bills

1744
01:25:55,360 --> 01:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Live presented by Colida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

1745
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one of those lives you caught me

1746
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: looking at going through my time on Twitter's finally back. Yah, yeah, yeah,

1747
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: it'srobably finally backs as bad and I can't get over

1748
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: the Justin Fields contract. It's a forty million dollars two

1749
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: year deal. He's I think twenty six of it's guaranteed

1750
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: or something like that.

1751
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: And are we sure that he's better than Tyrod Taylor

1752
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 3: we were talking about this off here.

1753
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: Probably is because Tyro's been in the league for fourteen years.

1754
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's long in the tooth now. He's

1755
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 1: not the same player was even when he was here

1756
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and he took this team to the playoffs

1757
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. But Justin Fields is a young, athletic,

1758
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: dynamic guy. And we've been talking to about why you know,

1759
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 1: the Bills haven't been very active active at all. Oh,

1760
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,919
Speaker 1: they haven't been linked to anybody in the free agency

1761
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: to this point of there are other teams who are

1762
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: the same boat. This free agent class in't that good

1763
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: at any position.

1764
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,679
Speaker 3: We're seeing some monster deals for guys where you're like him.

1765
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: Well, let's think about it. The centerpiece of the entire

1766
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: free agent market this year was probably Sam Darnold, and

1767
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: he signed a new deal with a new team on

1768
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 1: the open market and is now the eighteenth highest paid

1769
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: quarterback who's a starter that's not on his rookie deal. Eighteenth.

1770
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: It's a suppressed market. The good players are getting paid

1771
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: by their clubs and retained some guys, aren't you know,

1772
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 1: there's a few Milton Milton Williams, right is he signed

1773
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: with the Steelers and they targeted him. I get it,

1774
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see. That's but these are some crazy numbers

1775
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 1: for some guys that I don't know.

1776
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and then we just got Dio o'dangbo.

1777
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: Edge rusher the Colt.

1778
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 3: So the Bears three years, forty eight million dollars thirty

1779
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:04,560
Speaker 3: two million guaranteed.

1780
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 4: He's another one. Just like Milton Williams.

1781
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 3: Set a career high, had a career year in the

1782
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 3: perfect year his contract year in twenty twenty four, forty

1783
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 3: two pressures a pressure rate under ten percent. You usually

1784
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 3: wanted to at least be ten if you're a high

1785
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 3: caliber player. So the Bears, I think their GM understands

1786
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:26,719
Speaker 3: we better win now with Ben Johnson or Ryan Poles

1787
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: is probably not going to be a GM after this season.

1788
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 3: They're spending big money. They signed a center, Drew Dolman earlier,

1789
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 3: who was the Falcon Center. Yeah, a lot of money

1790
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 3: for guys that are year banking on them getting better

1791
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 3: once they joined the new team. The Bills, the Chiefs,

1792
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 3: a lot of the other teams are retaining their.

1793
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: Own Viking safety cam bye them or is it can't

1794
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: buying them a Colt cam by them? Was with the

1795
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 1: Viking Vikings. Now he is an Indianapolis Colt four years.

1796
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,839
Speaker 1: This safety cam bind him four years, sixty million dollars

1797
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis to play safe dollars a year. It's a

1798
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: lot of money. So we'll see this is going to

1799
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: continue to evolve even as we get off the air here,

1800
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: and it's it's been fun to keep on top of

1801
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still dumbfounded with Darnold the last couple of

1802
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: games of his career in Minnesota. A lot of money. Yeah,

1803
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 1: it cost him a lot of money.

1804
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 3: And I'll end with this, it's good that the Bills

1805
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 3: are not on the board yet. Let the free agent

1806
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 3: market kind of weigh its way to the second and

1807
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 3: third wave and then sign some better value guys, mostly

1808
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 3: defensive tackle d N, maybe corner in safety.

1809
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 4: They'll ultimately do that, but later.

1810
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: All right, well the plan. Thanks for being in here, Chris. Tomorrow,

1811
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: Maddy glad, we'll be back in that seat. I'll be

1812
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: here with you at one o'clock. More free agency, stay

1813
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: with us, We'll be back at one
