Oh Joe, there's saga. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.039 There's drama in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow says he wants the 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:39.280 team to pay Star Pass Russia Trey Hendrickson. He says 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.200 the team not paying Hendrickson is a significant distraction. Let's 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:44.640 take a listen to what Joe had to. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.119 Say tomorrow and Ti having a great de deals. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.560 It's Trey here, his deal not done. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:52.560 Is that a distraction? 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.840 Of course? Of course last year we had two, this 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.160 year we have one, so we do have less to 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:00.640 have none. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.360 But you know, that's a life in the NFL. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:03.200 Uh. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.560 We're all supporting Tray and would love for him to 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:05.920 be back. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:12.919 Mm hm Oh Joe, yes, sir, to take well, listen, listen. 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.880 I love Joe. Joe also has to understand this is business. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.040 It's the business, and the Browns have one way of 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.280 doing things. They've done things one way. And despite what 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.320 he may say, despite his concerns about wanting Tree to 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.960 be paid or him or being a distraction with him 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.720 not getting paid. This is the way they conduct business. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.440 All teams conduct business in the same manner. They're not 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.799 going to be swayed or forced or bullied into paying the. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.760 Individual based on how we as. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.160 Players or that the former or fans see fit. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.440 They're going to do things their way. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.959 They paid, they paid Joe Burrow, they paid Jamar Chase, 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.359 they played, they paid t Higgins. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:57.680 Uh, I don't know. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.000 I don't have the numbers in front of me. I 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.600 don't know how much is left and in caloriees salary 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.560 cap space. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.520 But not enough to pay Trade what he wants. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.200 Actually not enough to pay him what he wants. But 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.840 I'm assuming maybe they're trying to find some middle ground. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.760 But from what I've heard that there are no talks 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:15.520 going on at all. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:20.200 So obviously trade Trade is standing in his ground and 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.320 he's not in a position despite being the sack leader 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.919 last year and the sack leader before that the year 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.960 before that, Like he was a sack leader, but what 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:29.840 was our defense rank? 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.919 Can someone look that can't ask with that up right now? 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.519 I mean, he just was really quick curious, well, without 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.280 Trade you'd have been you'd have been seventeenth in college, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.200 so you had trade for you at the bottom at 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:41.800 the NFL. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.000 Okay, so they look at all that they look at Listen, 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.400 I wanted to get paid. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.600 I wanted to get paid for based on what he's done, 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:49.800 you know, to date. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.280 But they look at it completely different than the way 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.480 we look at it as fans, and obviously me. Listen, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.200 I love my bangals and I love I would love 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.000 for trade to get paid. But uh, it's a tough 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.600 spot that that we're in. I'm not sure what's gonna happen. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.240 I think at some point, if things don't get worked out, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.800 I'm assuming maybe a trade of some sort might happen, Uh, 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.360 at the least opportune time, when we least expected. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.640 I look at it like this O Joe, considering he's 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.120 the best defensive player, and when you look at that 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:26.279 defensive line, who else. Most teams have two guys, yes, yes, 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.320 you know, you have Micah and then you have another guy. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.880 Or you look at let's just say, for the sake 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.479 of Mark, you look at the Eagles, they have multiple guys. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.760 You look at Kansas City, they have h Jones and 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.200 have Coloptus. You know, they have multiple guys most teams, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.359 although they're not on the same level, but they have. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.280 You look at a hot Smith and you look at Watt, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.400 so most guys have somebody to play off of. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.679 It's him. He'll let the league in sacks. But really 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:54.760 no one else beside it. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:55.560 You know. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:05:01.320 And brother Sam Hubbert just retired, yes most of yeah, yeah, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:02.160 he was hurting. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.039 Also, when I think about it, I look at the 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:09.880 AFC North right, Yeah, standpoint and needing defensive players. It's 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.440 bad enough. We're already bad on defense. Let's not make 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:12.839 it worse. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.920 Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.200 I mean that, my goodness. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.880 Like, we we need trading in the in the dearest 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.440 dearest way possible to try to do what we can defensively, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.239 so we can we can. We can start a little 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.040 better this season. You know, I know we always talk 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:32.760 about the offense. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.960 You know, they always start slowers out out the gate, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.480 you know, being zero and to or one in one 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:37.800 or whatever. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.640 You gotta stop somebody though, Yeah, we gotta get their problem. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.280 Okay you said, I'm saying, but here's the thing. They 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.160 have one bad, too bad possession. Their defense can't stop anybody. Now, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.760 all of a sudden, you fourteen points down. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:51.760 Hey, you gotta lead. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.280 Okay, let's just say, for the sake of army, you 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.840 have a lead. That we saw this against Baltimore they 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.920 have too bad possessions. Now Baltimore has the lead lead. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.880 Yeah, so what how far away are we from from 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:08.320 having a decent defense? Just curious from your listen, you 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:09.919 know this. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.400 Is this is and y'all just cut Pratt. Remember y'all 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.680 released Pratt. Yeah, so wall hold on Pratt with prap 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.080 prap with the middle back. Where was the mic linebacker? Yeah, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.000 he led your team and tackles, Yeah he did so. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:22.360 Logan Wilson plays. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.320 They drafted somebody. They drafted somebody in the second round 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:27.159 out of South Caroline. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.000 I was reading yesterday the night they must he must go, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.520 being really high on him. Yeah, we're gonna he's gonna 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.560 plug and play then, huh. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:34.480 Yeah, yes. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.919 And remember Pratt was like, hey, he wanted a contract extension. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.680 He wanted to be you don't want to bump and pay, Like, noah, bro, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.160 we can't bump you and pay. I was reading now, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.240 I don't know, you know, maybe somebody just throwing out 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.320 numbers I think Trey's supposed to make what fifteen, sixteen, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:51.440 seventeen million. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.880 Yeah, trying to get him to twenty eight. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.480 I don't think he's looking at listening to anything that 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.400 doesn't start with a three. No, I'm not now I honestly, 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.440 because you see, you see he's like, hold on, one 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.840 guy making fifty five, another guy making forty, another guy 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.600 making thirty, and then y'all want me to come in 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:08.240 at twenty eight. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.040 And he sees Miles Garrett. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.559 He knows Michael is about to get something that starts 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.400 with a four, and y'all want me to start with 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:14.760 a two. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.640 Yeah, I just don't see that. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.120 Not. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:19.160 Let's be fair. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.880 If he wants to get what he wants, he's not 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.960 gonna be able to get it because everything you just 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.240 ran off, we just pay one thirty and one making 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.520 fifty five, then there's no room for you to make. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.680 Do you take do you take a discount? Do you 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:31.480 take a discounting? 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:31.600 Know? 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.840 The question is better question does he miss the first 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.080 eight games and then come back to last eight games 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.600 to make sure he gets a credited season or does 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.960 because that's what I would do, because if you don't 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.200 come back, they still have your rights, So I would 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.280 you know it? That depends on how serious he is 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:48.960 about his money. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.440 Oh, he's serious, He's serious. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.560 And this, this is this is the thing that you 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.960 can do when they know you love the game, when 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.360 they know you love the game, and they know you 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.239 can't stay away. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:58.400 From the game. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.640 They always wants to be team for team, that team 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.960 oriented and be the but when it comes time to play, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.239 this is what this is what happened. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.080 Yeah, now just talk about the Bengals in general. I'm 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.119 talking about in general. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.440 They will use your love for the game against you 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.000 because the ben inside of things will sneak up on 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.080 you and bite your knaves. 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:18.520 Yeah. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.960 I'm trying to think a guy that Sean Gilbert might 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.680 be the only guy that I can remember that missed 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.760 the whole season and then he ended up turning it 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.640 around and getting paid. I think he went to Carolina. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.640 I think it's with Washington and he ended up going 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.719 to Carolina. It might be vice versa, but that's what 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.880 I mean. I think the thing is to say what 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.240 I would do. It's easy to say what because you're 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:42.120 not in that situation. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:42.520 Me. 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.600 I ain't missing no time. I understood that that was time, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.280 I wasn't gonna be able to get back. And like 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.520 you said, oh Joe, I think the thing is, they 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.280 know the guys that really everybody don't love the game. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:54.880 Like we do. Now. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.520 Yeah, so they're gonna hard time us. Well this is 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.360 all we can knowing. Damn well, we might miss a game, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.280 but we ain't missing no half of those seasons low 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:04.920 times either. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.960 And let's talk. We love it too much, listen. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.320 And the funny thing about it is, I love the game, 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.000 but I think during my time I was in fortunate situations. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.679 I think where they came to me early twice, right 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.040 in the early where I didn't have to deal with 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.360 that type of situation. It is to me, it's almost 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.160 it's almost a slap in the face a little bit. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.600 And you think about it, Yeah, almost a slapping the face. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.679 And we take it personally as players, and I know 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.360 they do when situation like this arise. When you understand 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.800 what your value is, you understand what the market is, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.080 and then you have a team that's hesitating in giving you. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.040 Said market value. Make it that hard. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.000 Listen. One thing about it. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.080 I don't care how many how many players you got 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.200 got paid. There's always a way to make it happen 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.800 depending on who the players. You do understand that, right, yes, 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.120 But I don't get from the Bengals. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:55.559 O't Yoe. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.000 If you had this problem last year and you didn't 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.120 resolve it and during the season or after the season, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.000 what makes you thought the the problem is going to 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.599 go away. It's like if you have a disease and 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.719 don't talk about it, just because you don't talk about it, 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.480 you better go get it. You better treat it because 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.400 talking about it, but because not talking about a problem, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.079 like it's like two people argue, know Joe, and you 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.360 go to bed. That issue is not gonna be resolved 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.480 in the morning because you didn't talk about it that night. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.840 As a matter of fact, you're gonna give people an 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.559 opportunity to build up. They're like this more for playing 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.160 with me. They couldn't address me. They know, so you 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.280 laid over the steaming. She led over their steaming. You know, 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.040 you get out of bed in the morning, you stepping 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.920 on lips because the lift poked out to the float. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.720 His lifts poked out to the float. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.160 So I don't understand how the Bengals thought this situation 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.080 and he had another seventeen and a half sex season, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.800 and he led the NFL in sacks, and somehow you 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.480 thought he would go beat Well, we got a good 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.199 chance to go. You had a good chance to go 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.520 to the super Bowl last year or the playoffs last year. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.040 It didn't happen. Guys are not you know. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.720 Teams always want you to think, oh, fake big picture. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.680 No, the big picture is me and my family. That's 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.719 the big picture. I'll thinking about y'all because, oh, Joe, 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.640 what they what they tell you? O Joe when they 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.440 release players? You here, and I think we're gonna talk 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.760 about this a little later, y'all here, And Cody kIPS 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.800 said what he's saying. They're always thinking about what isn't 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.719 the best interest of the team. Okay, what is the 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.880 best interest of the business? Okay, players are businesses. Yes, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.400 what isn't the best interest of Trey Henderson? 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:39.280 Not playing? 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.600 Isn't the best interest in Trey Henderson being all unest Now, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.120 I'm not telling the guy what he should or what 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.560 he shouldn't do, but this is what. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:46.120 We do know. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.199 He take his ass out there on that field, and 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.520 he gets anything that happens, Lord forbid, it does not, Yes, sir, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:52.720 he ain't getting no pay day. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:53.400 You know that. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.120 I know that, Yes, sir, Yeah, listen. I think is 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.280 tough on in the tough spot. The Bengals organization is 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.160 in a tough spot. Trey Henderson is in a tough spot. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.719 Joe Burrow saying that it's a distraction to those that 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.080 are in an organization, those that are on the team, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.880 those that are at mini camp right now. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.439 I think for the fans it's a distraction and it's 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.120 just like overwhelming and they're like, God, damn, here we 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.319 go again. But again fans. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.599 As players, you have to be able to separate the 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.839 personal side of being a football player. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:25.680 In the business side. 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.520 I think if you can park, you can compartmentalize and 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.319 be able to separate the two and understand that it 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.320 is business first. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.000 It's not personal. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.559 It's nothing against you as a player, but this is 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.040 the way they conduct themselves, not just with the Bengals, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.240 but with every team in general. 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:41.559 I think you'll be all right. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.520 I want Tree to get his money though, you know, 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.160 even if it's not with us, I would love to 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.200 see him back with the Bengals, but I would also 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.560 love to see him get what he deserves somewhere. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.400 Else, because I think the thing is, oh Joe. What 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.280 happens is that Joe would like to talk about what 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.079 a great deal practice they'll had, yes, sir, But the 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.080 media is asking him Trade's contract. They're asking m him 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.080 about the rookies contract, who we're going to talk about 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.640 in just a second. So he's like, bro, I'm trying 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.000 to say, hey, T and I had a great comment, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.280 had a great work today. We got some great work 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.800 to done today. We got better today. But you're asking 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.920 me about a player that's not here. I don't know 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.719 what you want me to say. Joe is being the 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.480 leader that he is. Yeah, we love to have Trade 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.800 and I think he's done enough to He's earned, not deserve, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.720 he's earned a raise and pay because guess what, let's 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.040 just say, for the sake of argument, o Jo, instead 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.400 of having seventeen the half sacks, he had five and 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.120 a half sacks. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.079 Do you think they would keep him on the contract 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.439 that he has now? Absolutely not? I answer it for 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:41.360 you know they wouldn't. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.599 So now he outperforms the contract, you don't want to 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.640 reward him, But if he underperformed, you will punish him. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:55.040 Yes, And that's the way it is. And hopefully fans 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.160 like see that and I understand. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.040 Look, I understand you weren't running a business, but the 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.800 guys normally played best guy's team after being in you know, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.680 a business you're working, perform better when they're compensated. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.080 Yeah, yeah, oh, when you're happy. Yes, which is which 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.440 is one of the reasons. Why do you think they 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.920 always go ahead and pay the quarterback. Yes, they always 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.240 paid the quarterback. You get your quarterback out the way, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.000 so he had nothing to worry about. He's in the 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.480 right state of mind and you can focus on your 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:29.600 job at hand, no distractions and again not being able 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.760 to get your money after putting in all the work, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.960 you know, the sacrifice, the sweat, the injuries. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.680 He led. I mean, I mean he led the entire 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.080 league in sacks. He did that. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.720 He had he I mean he had seventeen and a half. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.320 He was I mean, he was in the running for 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.160 defensive Player of the Year. And he's probably thinking to himself, 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.120 what the hell do I have to do to get 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.400 rewarded for my card work. 0:14:52.880 --> 0:15:04.840 Yeah, that's crazy, it's unfortunate. And listen, this is this 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.800 happens all the time, for sure, Well, it happens all 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.360 the time. Yeah, it happens. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.680 It's his turn, his turn. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.120 Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart is still waiting to take his 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.200 first practice rep in the NFL. He also had some 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.720 words for the Bengals today in comparing his situation with trades. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.760 Let's take a listen to what he had to say. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.760 Like some people say, we'll all agree trade will be right, right, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.520 but technically still one percent wrong from being on the contract. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.360 So and in my case, I'm one hundred percent right, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.720 so it should be a no brainer. And in trades case, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.720 I think it should be a no brainer too. I mean, 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.440 he led seventeen and a half Saxon for two years 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.120 bafter back if I was a gym or I was 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:50.840 the owner, take all my money. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.400 But I guess they don't offer it like that, but 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:56.120 you know they do not. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.200 Hey, listen, hey, it's easy to say take all my 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.680 money when you not the GM's somebody else money. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:04.160 Money. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.160 You need to say that, but listen, you learn quick. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.520 You learn, you learn quick, and you learn fast. Rookie 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.760 will understand that this is a business and it's running 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.040 a little different. It's running a little different now he's 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.280 had seventeen and a half sex back to back seatings, right, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:19.720 and then they're they're. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.880 Hesitating, they're hesitant on paying them. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.120 So in situations like this, this will tell you how 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.360 they really feel about you, because the player is depending 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.800 on who the player is and how much they value 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:33.640 you and what you bring. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:34.160 To the table. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.520 Oh man, they're not even playing when it's time to 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.040 get paid. I don't care who. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.640 I don't care who, y'all's This is what Mike Florio 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.080 for Pro Football Focus right, this is football Talk PFT. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:47.320 He said. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.080 The Bengals have decided to wedge a new clause into 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.560 Stewart's deal. The clause would turn a default in any 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.480 given year into a void of all remaining guaranteed and 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.240 prior Bengals contracts Avoyd wiped out only the. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.720 Guarantees for the year in which the default occurred. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.120 Stuart refuses to be the guinea pig for the new term, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.439 and the Bengals refused to blink. As a result, Stuart 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.400 will be less prepared for training camp than he would 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.760 have been. So, in other words, a lot of times 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.000 they put a clause in there, Oh Joe, it says 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.919 if you do something wrong, the money you were supposed 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:26.240 to get in that year, right is wiped away. Now 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.040 they put the new clause in there and say, if 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.000 you do something wrong, any guaranteed that you was supposed 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.280 to get in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:42.400 That's going too Oh no, hell no, I understand. To me, honestly, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:43.800 I don't. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.480 I don't like the verbiage. But again I would have 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.119 it on a year to year basis. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.639 If this year, if you mess up, you know, and 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.720 there was contact, gentrimentsis of the team. Yes, that is 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.359 that serious where we need to recoup some of that 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.399 money back. That's guaranteed I see fit to do so. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:00.600 Yes, that. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:09.080 Absolutely not. Hell no, not over what we don't. Man, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.280 don't make me curse. Don't make me curse because I 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:12.399 just got saved out the day. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:12.960 Don't do that. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.520
