Speaker 1: it's Texans All Access. Welcome into Texans All Access. Happy

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Legal Tampering Day. I'm your host Dpsito joining me today,

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: John Harris. We are inside the Hounday Texans Radio studio

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: on a very very busy Monday evening. Johnny, how's it

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: going today? Have you been able to peel your eyes

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: away from Twitter? No? Not really. I mean that's just

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of the way it is at this point in

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the year. You can't can't really do that. A couple

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: of things right off the bat. Number One, nobody is

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: sid it's tampering. You can agree to a deal, you

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: haven't signed anything. Let's be very clear about that. Nothing

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: is signed. We're just we're just discussing and browsing. I

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: like to call it. The NFL is not just not

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: just you and I, it's everybody. So anybody says, oh,

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: such a such a sign, somebody is going to sign,

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: somebody is signing, somebody right expected to sign, so agreed

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: to terms. So technicality I've been listening to all day

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, yeah, they haven't signed yet. That

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. That can happen on Wednesday at three o'clock

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: our time. That's when the new league year begins, and

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of machinations between now and then.

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: This is just the start of the tampering period. So

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: as you said, what'd you called a pre sale, it's

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: like the presale to the sale, or you can go

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: in and you can look at all the stuff, you

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: can put stuff aside, but the prices are not valid

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: until the sale opens. Sometimes you get to do that, yeah,

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: at some places. So this is the pre sale, which

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: is also to some places you go to, some places

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: I go to. It's just like what's on the Clarence rack.

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: That's where I'm That's where I'm going. I'm gonna go

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: find the autry on my Clarence track. And that's one

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: of the things about free agency. I don't like Clarence Racks, Johnny,

41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: because all the goodtuff's gone by the time you get

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: to the clearancry. You gotta spend a lot of time

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: digging through some stuff. But you might find you might

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: you might find like a five dollars pair of jeans

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: that you wear all the time. I'm not saying I've

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: done that, but I've done that. And when you do that,

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: you find a guy like Denia Autry. It's so funny

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: to me because people talk about, oh, free agency, free agency,

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: and they and you look around. It's like, well, you

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: got all this you got all this money, just just

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: just burn it. Just I must spend it. Spend the money.

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Like, first of all, have y'all ever

53
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: had money in your pocket at some point, any any

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: money in your pocket and you look at you got

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks in your pocket. We'll just go buy

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the leather jacket. It's one hundred and nine and nine bucks.

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Just go buy the leather jacket, just because you have

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: the money. But it's more fun because it's not our money.

59
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: When it's when it's these NFL teams and you think,

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, one hundred and one million dollars Colts,

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: You've got so much money. I mean, I think it's well,

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's not your money, so you

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: just wanted to spend it. Here's another thing to keep

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: in mind too, and I think I think, I think

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: this is forgotten for leagues with salary caps, is that

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: just because the team has the cap space doesn't mean

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: they have the cash. I know that sounds bizarre. That's

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: a really good point actually, but it doesn't mean that

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: they've got all the cat now Texas wise, I'm not

70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not talking about the Texans. I mean,

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: the other day I saw what was a Pro Football

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: talk that said five five owners in the NFL were

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: five of the richest in the world or whatever it was,

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: and I think the McNair family was one of those

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: five I think I saw. I'm not speaking from the Texas,

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: but I do know there are teams in this league

77
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: that do not have the cash to match the cap space.

78
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: So even though they have the cap space, they may

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: not have the cash. Now there are some that might

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: have oodles of cash, but they've eaten up all their

81
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: cap space. So that's that gets kind of tricky. And

82
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: when you do make a deal in the NFL, you've

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: got to take whatever guaranteed money you've promised that player,

84
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and you got to put that aside. You gotta put

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: that in escrow. So whatever you've guaranteed Nick Foles in Jacksonville,

86
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: now Shots got some cash. And I'm worried about Shots

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: got money. I don't worry about that. I mean, that

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: mustache is all fining, but he's got cash. But you

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: got to put that over in escrow. So there are

90
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: some teams like that have the cap space that are

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: not gonna have the cash to just just doll it out,

92
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: like you know, they're out of established. Yeah, so just

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: keep that, keep that in mind as you go through

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: this whole cap space situation. The other aspect of it

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: is DP with free agency, is that the I hear

96
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: this all the time, and sometimes I'm like, man, I

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: don't know that that's absolutely true. They say, oh, that

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: guy got an offer that sets the market. To me,

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: if one team goes out and says, you know, hey,

100
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Landing Collins, you're worth fourteen million dollars a year, it

101
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that thirty other teams thought the same thing.

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: It means that one team thought that he was worth

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: it to them, But doesn't mean that as a whole

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: throughout the NFL that that particular player and every team

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: is going to spend that same amount of mine. No,

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and it could happen if other

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: teams are trying to determine what the fair market value

108
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: of a players. If there are other teams, it's supply

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: and demand. If other teams want the same player, then yeah,

110
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: that will drive the price up if Landon Collins deal

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: is set. But I get what you're saying. We will

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: talk about the Lannon Collins deal because now with all

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: these safeties that are floating around the market, how does

114
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that impact guys like Tyron Matthew and Cream Jackson. I

115
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on that. But first, I

116
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: know we talked about free agency and everything is not official,

117
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: but a few transactions did go down today inside this

118
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: building that are official, So let's start off with those

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: in our hot reads. The Texans resigned a few players

120
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: ahead of free agency. They resigned the following three Angela

121
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: Blacks and DeAndre Carter and Joel Heath. They just made

122
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: that official just a little while ago, and then they

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: extended qualifying offers to the following three players, Brandon Kaimi, Fairbaran,

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: and Brennan Scarlett. So you are able to work out

125
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: deals with your own players before they head out in

126
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: a free agency. So some good depth fabric guys, I

127
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: guess you could aside from Kaimi, he's your kicker obviously,

128
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: but guys like Angela Blackson did a lot of things. Yeah,

129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, in lieu of injury for the last two years.

130
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: I think they were I think everybody really liked what

131
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Blackson did when he was on the field. And then

132
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter for a guy that joined this squad midway

133
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: through the season, everything he was able to do, you know,

134
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: he had some nice stepth to that wide receiver group. Well,

135
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that I've talked about a lot

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: deeply over the last how many every weeks just stepping

137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: back and looking at oh my gosh, they have three

138
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: defensive line free agents. Now one of them was Brandon

139
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Done was a restrictive free agent, so he gets a

140
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: qualifying offer. So qualifying offer doesn't exactly mean that it's

141
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: that he's a lot to be a Texan. But yeah,

142
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: the Texas have writer first refusal, So off a team

143
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: says Hey, Brandon, we're gonna pay you, I don't know,

144
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: three years, eighteen million dollars or whatever the case might be.

145
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: The Texas to have the opportunity to match that. If

146
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: they don't, then the Texans are able to get whatever

147
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: the qualifying tenor we don't know what that is exactly,

148
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: But most cases, that player ends up coming back. And

149
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of what we're hoping with with Donnie. If

150
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: you bring Brandon dumb back and then you've resigned Angelo

151
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: Blackson now and you resigned Joel Heath, those are three

152
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: key interior guys that have really shown a lot of progress.

153
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: So that leaves Christian Covington at that point. Now, if

154
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Cuff doesn't come back, then that's one open spot on

155
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the defensive line. I do think Carlos Watkins is ready

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: to step into a role into his third year. I

157
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: think it's time for him to do that. I the

158
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: more I've thought about this, I think one of those

159
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: four first, second, second, third round picks, one of the

160
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: four of the you know, four of the eighty six

161
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, is gonna be an interior guy.

162
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interior pass rusher. Let's say pass rusher,

163
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a guy with some size I

164
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: can get to the quarterback and do some things, maybe

165
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: ask some versatility. I don't know, but I'd look at

166
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: a guy that Colin Saunders amount of Western Carolina. He's

167
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: he's a phenomenal players three hundred and twenty four pounds,

168
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: but he can do a backflip. I mean, he's the

169
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: kind of guy that I could see for us because

170
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of versatility and even be a

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: really good athlete on the inside. And at three hundred

172
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: twenty four pounds, you ran a five or five in

173
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: the forty, which is flying at the combine. So he's

174
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that could see us looking at

175
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: because of his athleticism as a pass rusher that you

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: could put in between Watt and hopefully Clowny long term,

177
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and you can put a guy like Saunders in there.

178
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he Saunders lines up next to a guy like

179
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Watkins who was thought to be a really good interior

180
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: pass rusher. And now your d line is set. But

181
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: at least you're bringing back Heath and in hope to

182
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: bring back Done and you definitely are bringing back Angelo Blackson.

183
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: That way, you can I think go out and attack

184
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: that defensive line from the perspective of finding a guy

185
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: that could fit athletically, that gives you some really good

186
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: pass rush presence. When the outside guys are getting all

187
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: the attention, the guy in the inside keeps winning and

188
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta have. I think that's a good

189
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: point because Carlos Watkins, he was inactive a healthy scratch

190
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of games last year, so you know,

191
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: that seemed like they had a little bit of a

192
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: surplus there. So we'll be good to see what he

193
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: can do heading into this season if if that's his

194
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: if he steps into that role. Also, we mentioned Landon

195
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Collins a deal, and I think the big news obviously

196
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: is what's going to happen with the safeties that are

197
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: entering free agency on Wednesday, Tyron, Matthew and Kreem Jackson.

198
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Now Tyron, there are reports that the Texans did offer

199
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: tyronum what nine and a half? Yeah, on average, on

200
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: average nine and a half per year. Of course, that's

201
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: how that's how fuels get kind of put out their

202
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: average per year. But it's not really that's not official.

203
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: All those are according to reports, but they said that,

204
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, according to the reports that he wanted to

205
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: test the market. Now with the Lannon Collins deal being

206
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: in place, I kind of I agree with what you're

207
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: saying that just because Lane and Collins gets paid that

208
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: much by Washington doesn't necessarily mean that tire And because

209
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: you've got so many safeties that are in the pool

210
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: right now too. You've got Earl Thomas and then the

211
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Vikings just u at least another safety into the pool,

212
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Andrewson Djo So you've got all these other guys that

213
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a lot of supply basically, so yeah,

214
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: he just doesn't A team doesn't have to overpay. You

215
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: just said it. It's it's the it's the law of demand.

216
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: And for some reason last year the teams didn't like

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: the supply of safeties. They just didn't like them. There

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: was not there was not this huge market. But now

219
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: you know Land and Collins, who was out there. You

220
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: know Eric Weddell signed and people said, well, wait a secon.

221
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: Well how come he could sign with the Rams and

222
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: do all that because he was released by Baltimore. If

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: you were released by your team, then you become an

224
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: essence in a restricted free agent You could sign any time,

225
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: but Landon Collins um his contract had not he was

226
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: not released by a Giant, so he's kind of going

227
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: through his temporary period, so he will agree to a

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: deal with the Washington Redskins. But you hit it, it's

229
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the it's supply and demand. I mean, here for the Texas,

230
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: it's Kareem, it's Tyrant uh Anderson, Dejoe, the Vikings is

231
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: out there. Adrian Amos is apparently a free agent with

232
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, who who I think wouldn't be a

233
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: bad fit here. He's got experienced playing for OB, played

234
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: for OB at Penn State. I think he's a really

235
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: underrated type safety. Landon Collins obviously was a guy that's

236
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: played three Pro Bowls before he was twenty five, so

237
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of people had I

238
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: really thought the Texans were going to take Landon Collins

239
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: when he came in draft. In the draft, yeah, I

240
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: mean he was available, and a lot of a lot

241
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: of people had mocked him to us. Obviously that year

242
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: we took Kevin Johnson. So how different things would be

243
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: right now if we'd go in that direction. But you know,

244
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: nobody ever knows that these things are going to turn out.

245
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: I did not expect well, I mean, did you expect

246
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Landon Collins to get a deal this Did you think

247
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: he was gonna be the highest paid side deal in

248
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: the market. I didn't think that he would get a

249
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: deal this big, because he's the kind of guy. The

250
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: closer you get to the line of scrimmage, the better

251
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: he is. But it's funny because I actually, before you

252
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: came down here, I was watching the Bears Giants game

253
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: and just watching all the different things that he did

254
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: for the Giants defense, and you realize, you know what,

255
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: sometimes with versatility and playmaking skills, I mean, he was

256
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: able to make plays in that game. It's like, wow, Okay,

257
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. But the other side of

258
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: this is when you go to a different team in

259
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: free agency and this is all this is my Nambti

260
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Awesome Water rule. And I remember him back in eleven.

261
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Namti Awesome Wall was the player that everybody Sexas had

262
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: to have. The Texans had to have Nambtie Awesome Way.

263
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: I may or may not have been on that train

264
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: as well, just because everybody else was. But it didn't

265
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: work out, and nobody ended up taking a lot of

266
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: money to go to Philly. Well, in Oakland, he played

267
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot of press man and that's what he did.

268
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: He played a lot of that and he ran and

269
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: did that very very well. We went to Philly, it

270
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: was a totally different scheme. It didn't really suit Nambtie.

271
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: So we're like, whoa, we're all the plays, we're paying

272
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: all his money. What's going on? Well, he was going

273
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: to a totally different system. He actually would have been

274
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: better probably come a here to Houston because I think

275
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the system that Wade was gonna run was gonna better

276
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: for him. But with that money, the Texans did what

277
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: they got Johnathan and what else did they get That's

278
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: got Daniel Mannie the money they could have paid Nominitie.

279
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: They went out and got two players for the price

280
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: of one, and that worked out very very well for

281
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the Texans. So my hope is you know with money

282
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: that you know, like you think about the Trent Brown, Oh,

283
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: they look at how much Trent Brown got well with

284
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: that money, you just like last year with Nate Solder.

285
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: Because they didn't pay Nate Solder that money, what were

286
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they able to do? They were able to go get

287
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: the Honey Badger when he was released a little later

288
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: in the process, so they were able to go get

289
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Tyrann Matthew. At that point they had money available because

290
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: they didn't sink it on a Nate Solder. They had

291
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: money available to go buy intelligently, and I thought that

292
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: was smart last year with the way they were able

293
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: to do that. So hopefully that's what happens here. And

294
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: I've seen people tweet, well, what are the Texans doing?

295
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: They haven't done anything. Come on, man, give me a break.

296
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: First of all, we're in the first day of tampering.

297
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: Every single corner that is still out there is still

298
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: on the market. And the only tackle that anybody gave

299
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: a bleep about was gonna take a massive deal to

300
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: go back out to Oakland. I mean, who was gonna

301
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: pay Trent Brown after one year of doing what he

302
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: did that amount of money the Oakland Raiders did. So

303
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: from that perspective, and for the listen, I would love

304
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: to have a veteran play left tackle going for like,

305
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: I get it. But if it's not Tramp Brown, who's

306
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: it gonna be. You's gonna throw money at some guys

307
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: coming off an ACL tear like Daryl Williams or a

308
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: guy like Juan James has always been hurt in Miami

309
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: just because he's a veteran. I'd rather trust some of

310
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: these rookies to put a left tackle, Let them go

311
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: through their ups and downs, give him some help, and

312
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: by the end of the season you may end up

313
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: having a great tackle that protects Deshaun Watson. As opposed

314
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: to one year paying seventeen million, you still don't know

315
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: anything about, all right, john John Harris is on a

316
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: brand and I love it, but I gotta take a break.

317
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: And when we come back, I'm gonna ask Johnny if

318
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: there is a free agent out there that you'd like

319
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: to see the Texans sign, because I know we've talked

320
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: about some other position groups out there that you'd like

321
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: to see the Texans. Philson means with who are those

322
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: guys and what else is happening in the league. We'll

323
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on Nick Foles to the Jaguars. Oh,

324
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna go on that. And if you have any questions,

325
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: tweet us Jay Harris football or at deep slant and

326
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: we'll to get too many questions as you can during

327
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: this show. It's it's legal tampering to everybody. We're gonna

328
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: take a break. We'll come right back with Texans All Access.

329
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,120

00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: without the app these days because free agency kicks off

334
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, three pm Central Time, and it's the legal

335
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: tampering period. John Harris joins me now on Texans All

336
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Access and we're sort of getting into the news of

337
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: the day and Johnny before we Johnny was in the

338
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: middle of a rant before we had to take a

339
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: break because I don't want I just let you go

340
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: because I've been worse. Yeah, I mean, I feel like

341
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: you're on a rule. I didn't want to interrupt you.

342
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: But you know, we're talking about free agents and guys

343
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: out there and not overpaying and you know, using your

344
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: money wisely. I guess, spending your money wisely. But I

345
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: know we you and I have talked about, maybe on

346
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: cooler talk, cornerbacks and other positions of need. Do you

347
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: see the Texans going after something like one of these

348
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: mid level guys. Absolutely, And the thing is the two

349
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: the two positions that we talked about this and this

350
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: is why the draft ends up being so important, why

351
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: having draft capital, having four picks in the top eighty

352
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: six makes a lot of sense this year because when

353
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: you look at the offensive tackles, and this was kind

354
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: of part of my rant in some sense, was you know,

355
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: it's it's one thing to say, go get Trent Brown,

356
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: like I mean, I get it. But Trent was in

357
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: a really good situation in New England and obviously the

358
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: Raiders have they've got money to burn. Apparently, uh they

359
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: were able to jump out there and go make a deal.

360
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if Trent had an opportunity

361
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: to go setup set up market for himself. But either way,

362
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: beyond that, what offensive tackles are on the market where

363
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: you would go that guy, we've got to have him.

364
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams from Carolina would be one guy to tell you,

365
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: but he's coming off an acut there. Juan James has

366
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: never lived up the first round billing. And if those

367
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: guys are any good in the league that we play in,

368
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: dep they would be locked up by their particular teams. Yeah,

369
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: that's that's a good point. I always wonder about that

370
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: if if you the Patriots played a different because I

371
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: know people say about they play they play a different

372
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: game when it comes to the money situation. And plus

373
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots drafted Isaiah win with their second first round pick.

374
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: He didn't even play step right in. Yeah, he's gonna

375
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: step right in at left tackles, So they didn't have

376
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: to break the bank. They weren't going to break the

377
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: bank for trmp Brown because they're like, we got your replacement.

378
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: He's a lot cheaper and we think in the end

379
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a lot better. So they already were

380
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: kind of set up for that. So the Patriots have

381
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: been the outlier. But it's like, why why are the

382
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: Patriots the outlier and all this? Why do we look

383
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: at the other teams that spend money and go, that's

384
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: what you gotta know. Look at how they're doing it,

385
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: How are they doing it? What is it that they're doing?

386
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, they're's not like they have some secret formula,

387
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: but they make the right personel decisions. There have been

388
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: times where it's like they got rid of chance. Remember

389
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. Chanlea Jones is one of the best pass

390
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: rushers in the league. Patriots are like, Nah, if we're good,

391
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: we'll go to draft. We're gonna put this fourth round

392
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: or Trey Flowers in. We'll see what he does. They

393
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: don't They don't want to overspend on anybody, which I

394
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: think in free agency you never know what you're gonna

395
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: get because we've seen free agent, big free agent transactions,

396
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: even in this franchise not go well. I thought the

397
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: Tyrone Matthew deal last year was was really good because

398
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: it was one year. It's good for the player. I

399
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: think it's good for the team because how do you

400
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: know that it's going to be a good fit for you. Yeah,

401
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: after all, he didn't know it and we didn't know

402
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: it either. And more importantly, you always want to see

403
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: how a guy fits into the locker room. But I'm

404
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: sure even as a player, you think, all right, I'll

405
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: go there. But what if I just what if the

406
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: coaching what if I don't like I don't like the coaches,

407
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: what if I don't like the locker room. What if

408
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I just don't like the system. What if I don't

409
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: like what I'm being asked to do. You're out of

410
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: it after a year. You just put some you get

411
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: through a year, you play your best and then you

412
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: try to go out somewhere else and get a bigger deal.

413
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's, you know, now, the same thing

414
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: happens when you go to new place. But now with Tyrn,

415
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: he's played a year and he knows he likes it here.

416
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: We obviously know we like him here. It's just whether

417
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: or not the numbers work out. Yeah. Back to my

418
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: original question about cornerbacks, I said, mid level guys, But

419
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: do you think there's any flashy names that we'd be

420
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: we'd be willing to spend on because there are a

421
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: few out there, not a Longe Who would you say

422
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: it's flash yet? Darby Darby coming off an injury from

423
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, I mean, I guess what is he that?

424
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: He's probably the most to my point about tackle. If

425
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: you have a really good cornerback, think about the think

426
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: about the receivers. And I heard Sean Pennergays talking about

427
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: this um as as I was driving in a little

428
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: while ago. He's talking about the receivers to Texas have

429
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: to face this year. It's a it's a loaded, loaded group.

430
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: If you've got a great cornerback that you believe in,

431
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna let that guy get to market. Hell no.

432
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: My point with that is when you look at these corners,

433
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: you're like, there's got It's almost like looking at everything

434
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: in some sense off a Clarence track, you're like, man,

435
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: that looks really good like that. Yeah, us, yes, but

436
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: there's always there's always something. Yeah. But they're overspending. They're

437
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: overspending on the other rack down there. So they just

438
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: don't have they don't have the money nor the time

439
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: to go to the to the other Well, that's what

440
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis did last year. They went and they got the

441
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: Niko Autry. They went and they brought Pierre to seer Back.

442
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: Now that's a name we're gonna get back to in

443
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: a second. They brought Pierre to seer Back, and of

444
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: all the corners this year, that gave DeAndre issue any

445
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: issue at all. The Seer was probably the best one

446
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: at that. He was probably the best one at that.

447
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: That's the guy I would like to bring here. I

448
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: think he can end up fitting here for what the

449
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: Texans want, the prototype corner model of longer, stronger, faster.

450
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: I think that could be a guy like the Sear.

451
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: Now he doesn't fly his combined time actually a few

452
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: years ago was not great. I want to say it

453
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: was actually like four five nine or four six oh

454
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: something like that. It was not great, but he makes

455
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: up for with length and that was really he kind

456
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: of had to kind of had to learn how use

457
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: all that, and I think he has done that. So

458
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: Pierre this year, I think would be a guy that

459
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. I don't think you'd have

460
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: to break the bank for him, but the Texans know

461
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: what that. We saw three times this year. Bradley Roby

462
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: from the Broncos. I felt like he's been up and down.

463
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: He's a former first round or ended the first round

464
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: guy twenty fifteen. I think he's a guy that I

465
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: think in a Nickel situation, I think he'd probably be better.

466
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: But I could see him playing on the outside and

467
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job in this particular defense. So

468
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: I think Bradley Roby would definitely be on the desirable

469
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: list for sure. I don't think he played tremendously last year,

470
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: but I thought he played. He was up and down,

471
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: and maybe where you end up, maybe that helps you

472
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: with your consistency. Maybe not. You know, Aaron Colvin had

473
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: a rough year. Maybe he turns out around in a

474
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: year two and he could be the nickel guy and

475
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: you're you're set in there and you go there in

476
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: Colvin and maybe that turns around. You hope you hope

477
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: it does, because if it doesn't, then Aaron goes, unfortunately,

478
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: onto a list with a lot of other guys that

479
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: were not great free agent signings. But here's the thing.

480
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: People hear that, they're like, oh, the Texans bed Freed.

481
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: Everybody has got bad free agent signings, every team in

482
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: this league. I think the first year is that that's

483
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: that's It's just the system is designed to not be

484
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: super successful in the first year the system. I just

485
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: I just think it's a little bit of time, especially

486
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: on defense. I think as a wide receiver maybe it's

487
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: different or some of these other players, maybe some positions

488
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: are easier. We've got some news, all right, Oh boy,

489
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: this just came down. Oh I see what you're seeing.

490
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. Let me make sure it's Adam Schefter, Ian

491
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: rapport also the Chiefs. Is this where we're going? Yeah,

492
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: this makes me sad if if if M's right on this, yeah,

493
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Former Texans safety Tyra Matthew It intends to sign a

494
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: three year forty two million dollars deal with the Kansas

495
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: City Chiefs per league source. Wow. Yeah, Adam Schefter's tweeted

496
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: at Ian Rappaport. Also the deal should eclipse twelve million

497
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: dollars per year, which is probably three years forty two

498
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: million bucks. So that answers our question if the Land

499
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: and Collins deal affects the safety market. Yeah, absolutely so

500
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: there's an instant answer if that's true. According to reports,

501
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Tyed Matthew to the Chiefs, which this really bums me

502
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: out because I was I was hoping that he would

503
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: come back, really liked what he saw in the field

504
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: last year, especially with Kareem Jackson also entering free agency.

505
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: You'd like to bring at least one of those guys

506
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: back because it was a position of strength after last

507
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: year's offseason and the moves that Brian gained. Me. Yeah,

508
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: so so now, Chiefs, if you're with the Chiefs, you

509
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: mean you've got Eric Berry and Tyrren Matthew, and that's

510
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: at least to start back there in the secondary, to

511
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: have to slow on the Chargers, slow on the Raiders. Now,

512
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: at that point for the Texans, the question becomes, okay,

513
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Tyrant takes the money. And look, maybe I was wrong

514
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: a little while ago, because it's not as if I

515
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: didn't think that Tyrant was going to make three years

516
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars. But if I mean, that's on average

517
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars a year, So, unless the numbers are wrong,

518
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: twelve and a half I kind of thought that he

519
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: would get to. I thought he would get to eleven

520
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: and a half twelve, that's kind of where I thought

521
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: he would go. The Texans were starting at like nine

522
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: and a half or so I thought, even if you

523
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: bump them up to like eleven high elevens, maybe you

524
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: could work something. Yeah, I thought so too, but you know,

525
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: a three year, forty two million dollars deal. It worked

526
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: out for him taking the one year deal, less money

527
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: with the Texans, but going somewhere where he liked. Yeah,

528
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: because then he gets to sign, he gets the big money,

529
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: like exactly how he wanted he because he took a

530
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: risk on himself. Rappaport's tweet says deal should have clips

531
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: twelve million year. Well, fourteen million does eclips that, but

532
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: it just it feels like at twelve million dollars, I

533
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: felt like the Texas probably could have gotten that number.

534
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: But look at that point, not eving tiring back. Now

535
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: we do we focus now on Kareem Jackson. Jackson get

536
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity or at that point do you put some

537
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: of the other safeties in the market. It got like

538
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: Adrian Amos, We'll talk a little bit more about how

539
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: we can. Yeah, let's take a break that position at

540
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: that point, let's take a break. Well, when we come back,

541
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down this Tyn Matthew News turned Matthew

542
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: to the chiefs. According to reports, what happens to the

543
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: rest of the safety market, What happens to the Texans

544
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: and the safety position group. We're gonna get into all that.

545

550
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Legal Tampering Day. Some big news broke just before we

551
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: went to break Tyrn Matthew reportedly going to sign with

552
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City on a three year, forty two million dollars

553
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: deal with the Chiefs and John Harris and I would

554
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: continue to discussing this over the break. I feel really

555
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: bummed about it. I felt like you'd want to why

556
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: why not move up to match that number if he's

557
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: a guy that you like. But you brought up a

558
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: good point which I think you saw on Twitter about

559
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: how Brian gained. Yeah, will likely handle these sort of maybe. Yeah.

560
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: Greg Bailey made made a great point on Twitter. It's

561
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: something that I you know, it's funny. My good friend

562
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: Lancer Aline and we talked about this a lot. You know,

563
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: Darryl Morey does this for the Houston Rockets. So it's

564
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: not as if we should all be unaccustomed to this.

565
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, a player has players a

566
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: particular value. This is what that value is. And not

567
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: to say that every single player has to see it

568
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: exactly the way we see it. I mean we can,

569
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: we can talk about it, and we can discuss it,

570
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: and we can come to a good number. But the

571
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: fact is a player has a particular value. Last year

572
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: and Nate Solder had a particular value and the Texans

573
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: were not going to go above that value. The Giants

574
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: were willing to do that. The Giants took him and

575
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: away you go, and the Giants went five and eleven.

576
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: They didn't get a whole heck of a lot out

577
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: a Nate Solder, to be honest with you, in that year.

578
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: But that that that's kind of the point when it

579
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: comes to free agency, is that is you know, I

580
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: would have this this organization. Brian Gaine in particularly, I

581
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: just think that's smart, no matter, no matter what is,

582
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: you let your emotions get in the way and you're

583
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: gonna pay somebody money that that you shouldn't. Now, I

584
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: would get very emotional about Tyra Matthew because I love it.

585
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: I would too, this is and that's why yeah, because

586
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: I would wait, what are they paying you? It's fifteen millions?

587
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: It's just three million, four million or why not? It's

588
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: just money, right, And I really I wish because I

589
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: wish that he would stick around. But when a team

590
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: says we're willing to go above we can go above

591
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: that number, and we need to do that, all right,

592
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: They're they're going to the Chiefs have had such issues

593
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: at safety because Eric Berry has been hurt, they had

594
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: to have a guy like Tyran Matthew. Now here's the

595
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: other aspect of it. The safeties that are still remaining

596
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: out there, you know, ORL Thomas has not made a decision.

597
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: You've got Adrian Amos for the Chicago Bears, who I've

598
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. You know, Kareem still out there. Bringing

599
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: Kareem back, you know, going back to him after and saying, look,

600
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: we value what you've brought this organization. We'd like to

601
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: be able to keep you here long term and keep

602
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: you at safety. No more of this going back and forth,

603
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: safety corner, etc. You're a safety and we'd like to

604
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: keep you there at that particular moment. So that's another

605
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: way you go. And keep in mind too, not to

606
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: say that you're going into the season with two safeties,

607
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: but you have two guys that have started, one guy

608
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: who started who was one of the better rookies in

609
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: the league at safety in Justin Reed Andre Howe who

610
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: has started for how many years at safety, and all,

611
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: by the way, look at this safety, the safety crop.

612
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: You cannot look at free agency in a vacuum. Once

613
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: you start looking at free agency in a vacuum and

614
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: you don't look at everything and bring everything into it,

615
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: then you're you're screwing this whole thing up. Because if

616
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, we didn't get one in free agency,

617
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: go look at the draft. I was just looking at

618
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: my safety class a little or Justin. I mean, last

619
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: year was a year where you're really worried about safety.

620
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: You don't have a first and secon round pick, and

621
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: then you get Justin Reid who pans out really nicely.

622
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's gonna happen every single year, but

623
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: right you gotta remember you do have him. Can you

624
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: find a young playmaker in the third round at safety

625
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: if you need me? Chauncey Gardner Johnson from Florida, absolutely

626
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: want Thornhill, Jonathan Abram, Taylor Rapp from Washington and Monty Hooker,

627
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Gante Thompson, Darnell Savage, who plays a lot like Tyrn Matthew.

628
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: He's a little bit, a little bit bigger, little bit taller,

629
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: but an athlete in Darnell Savage from Maryland. Look there

630
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: are and if you draft one of those guys and

631
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: it pans out the first three or four years you're

632
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, that's the way that we have

633
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: to start thinking. You have to start thinking about that

634
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: in some way. Yes, I know that the veterans will

635
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: like to hear that. But if you're building an NFL

636
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: team the younger that's why you always say go win

637
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: in the draft, because that's where things are younger and

638
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: cheaper than you develop your own as Ardrick McKinney. Reward

639
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: him for that, give him a second contract in a

640
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: way you go. But to your point, Johnny, the Texans

641
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: did want to bring Tyran back. I said nine and

642
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: a half. But John McClean tweeted that the Texans offered

643
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: Matthew eleven million dollars per year. The Chiefs they're signing

644
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: him for fourteen. So last year the Texans got him

645
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: for about seven million a year, and I mean the

646
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs are paying him nearly double. So maybe you would

647
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: have gotten into a bidding war anyway if he maybe,

648
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: like you're saying, if the Chiefs really needed to address

649
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: that and they were gonna pay whatever it took to

650
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: get him. They were gonna get him no matter what.

651
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: So I mean, good for him. He wanted to prove

652
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: it deal and that's what he got. Now we turn

653
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: our attention to the other free agent safeties that or

654
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: remain said. So here's here's what still out there that

655
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: we know at this point, just kind of going through

656
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: the list. Earl Thom's still out there, Atlantic CON's gonna

657
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: sign Washington, Tyrants is gonna sign in Kansas City. Um

658
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: Adrian was still out there, Hog Clinton Dix, LaMarcus Joyner.

659
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Joyner is kind of like a poor man's Tyrant.

660
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Trey Boston wouldn't touch him. Tayshaunk Gibson is very interesting.

661
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: You played in Jacksonville. Now he's twenty nine, but he's

662
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: a very interesting guy that I don't think would end

663
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: up breaking the bank, who played some really good football

664
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: there in Jacksonville. Glover Quinn is thirty three. I don't

665
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: know that they would they would want to do something

666
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: like that. Clayton Gathers with the Colts almost said Pacers.

667
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: George Iloca, he's twenty nine, but he's from uh he

668
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: went to Kemner High School. Mike Mitchell, Now you started

669
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: to get into the area where you're like, ah, I

670
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: think at that point that this is a fairly deep

671
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: safety class free agency. It's a fairly deep safety class

672
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: in the draft that I guarantee you're part of the

673
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: plan was we're not going to overpay no matter what

674
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: you thought about it. Not going to overpay at that

675
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: point for anybody, even though they wanted to bring back Tyrn,

676
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: they were just not going to go above their value

677
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: for that particular reason. There's a lot of stuff happening

678
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but I wanted to get to some of

679
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: the funny tweets during the day. DeAndre Hopkins a few

680
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: hours ago tweeted, I like what I see and he

681
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: had a smiling sunglasses happy face emoji. The responses to

682
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: that alone were rather hilarious. So people were speculating anything

683
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: from Tyron returning to Levy on Bell signing with the Texans,

684
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: to Odell Beckham Junior signing with the Texans. So I

685
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: just want to say, well, OBJ would have to be

686
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: at trade. But you know why because DeAndre posted a

687
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: picture of himself with OBJ on Instagram, which was from like,

688
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know last year. He said, caption this, So

689
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: people obviously reading into that, um Levion Bell still out there.

690
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: I know, we we've talked about some of the other

691
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: free agents. He tweeted a little while ago. I'm so

692
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of torn right now with a sad

693
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: pain emoji. Dot dot dot decisions and that's getting a

694
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: lot of funny quote tweets people with their not so

695
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: important decisions quote tweeting back at him. So I'm sure

696
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: his mentions are going crazy. All right, I promise that

697
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: we would talk about Nick Foles to the Jaguars and

698
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: what you think that's going to mean for this division?

699
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: You were not so impressed with this last week when

700
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: we were discussing it. Have you changed your mind at all?

701
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: And do you think that's a good I mean, I

702
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: think for the Jaguars it makes sense. I don't see.

703
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't know where else he would have fit in

704
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: any better, if not with his former quarterbacks coach in

705
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: the Jags, and the Jags obviously not probably gonna part

706
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: ways with Blake portalson here here's where here's where the

707
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Jags were sort of there's nobody really competing for Nick

708
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: Foles and he was the Jaguars, So the Jaguars probably

709
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: could have paid him I think a little bit less now.

710
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: Mike gare followed from NFL Network had a very interesting theory,

711
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: and that was if they ended up paying him less,

712
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't get the respect he commands in locker him,

713
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: but by paying him twenty two million dollars a year

714
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: that gives him respecting locker room. I don't know. That's

715
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the biggest that's the biggest bunch of bs I've I've

716
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: ever heard. So because you make you make twenty two

717
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: million instead of eighteen million, I should respect you more

718
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: to start, I don't. I don't know. But listen, Jacksonville

719
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: needed to do that. They needed to go find a

720
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: guy that they think is gonna fit for what they're

721
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: going to do. I think the hardest thing in free

722
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: agency is to think, well, if we don't have the

723
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: answer and free agency, we'll just go get one in

724
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: the draft. Last year, I think at the quarterback position,

725
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: you could have said that, because there were five guys

726
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: that won the first round, you could have found a

727
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: way to take one of those five guys. This year,

728
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: there might be three guys in the first round, and

729
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: I don't think Jackson's gonna have a shot at one

730
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: of them because I think Kyler's gonna end up going

731
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: number one. But you know, they could have. They could

732
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: have done some other things. They weren't gonna drive Kyle

733
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: Murray anyways. Now it doesn't preclude Jacksonville from taking a quarterback,

734
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: but they now can address some the other needs because

735
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: they had they had to lop off Carlos Hide, Malik Jackson,

736
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Tayshawn gotten rid of a lot of players in their

737
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: room to make room for Nick Foles because they didn't

738
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of cap space. But they had to

739
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: do that to get a viable quarterback with that defense.

740
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: And look, Foles lit up the Texans last year in

741
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: that game. But my point about that was, look at

742
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: who was around. If you did the draft of the

743
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Jaguars offensive players, and I said, okay,

744
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: we go back and forth and we draft players. We

745
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: would go Zach Ertz, we would go out Sean Jeffrey.

746
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: We would now go to Sean Jackson. We would pick

747
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: every Eagle player before we even got to a Jacksonville Jaguar.

748
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: That's that's my point is Jacksonville just doesn't have anything

749
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: around Nick Foles like he had in Philadelphia. And I

750
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: know people will say Leonard Fournette's coming back. Listen, true

751
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: jaguar shows his spots, and Leonard Fournette showed his spots

752
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: last year. He's no different. And look, but they have

753
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: some draft picks because they they've got to be drafting

754
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: pretty high. They they've got some draft picks and they're

755
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna pick number seven, but they're probably not going to

756
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback at this point, right, Nope? So what

757
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: happens if Foles what happened falls gets in a starting

758
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: situation and it's not quite like it was in Philadelphia?

759
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Yeah? So and maybe they maybe they

760
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: will draft a young quarterback behind him, but not I

761
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: would not say in the first round now much, but

762
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: if they But that's the point. Yeah, how many of

763
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: those situations have worked out where a team has drafted

764
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: a guy in later rounds and he sat and then

765
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs did it with Mahomes. That was a weird.

766
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: There's a different situation. All those rookies that were drafted

767
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: last year started. Any quarterback that's gone in the second

768
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: third round, Dak Prescott's the only one I can think of,

769
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: and he started because Tony Romo ended up getting hurt.

770
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: Dacky didn't get on the field if Tony's not, If

771
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: Tony Romo is healthy, So from that perspective, should they

772
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: draft one behind uh Nick Foles? Yes, But I don't

773
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: know that that guy's gonna They're riding with Nick Foles

774
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: they're a rider with Nick Foles, and look, you could

775
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: do with a whole lot of worse guys. I think

776
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is a good quarterback, but I think in

777
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: this division, against the teams he's gonna face with the

778
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: talent that's around him, it's probably gonna be a little

779
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: bit of a struggle. I just don't think this automatically

780
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: makes check. This is MVP. Nick Foles is going to

781
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: look a little bit differently. For those of you just

782
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: tuning in, Tyron Matthew is expected to sign with the

783
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs on a three year, forty two million dollars deal.

784
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: I was looking at the numbers again, Johnny, that's exactly

785
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: half of what Landon Collins signed in Washington. So Landon

786
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: Collins signed a six year, eighty four million, and then

787
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: Tyrone is expected to sign a three year, forty two million,

788
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: eighty four divided by two yeah, yeah, and what's actually

789
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: like a two or three year age difference too. So

790
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Landon Collins deal other safeties. Now,

791
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: then what's Earl Thomas going to come in? Well, I

792
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: think Earl Thomas is so along he wants he wants

793
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen million. Well, Earl Thomas now walks into any

794
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: team or his agent does and was like, well, here's

795
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: Tyrann's deal, and here's Landon's deal. Earl, you know, let's go. Now,

796
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: there are differences in all of them age wise. Landing

797
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: Collins is twenty five times twenty seven. Earl's thirty landed

798
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: Collins Loyd banged up. At the end of the year,

799
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Tyron finally played a full year. Earl Thomas coming off

800
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: an Achilles tendant tear, they're probably all gonna get about

801
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: fourteen million, because Earl, it's hard to look away from

802
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: all the plays that he made in his career and go, man, oh,

803
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't want a playmaker.

804
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to look away from that. But

805
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: it's like it's thirty and he's coming off an Achilles

806
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: tenant injury. It's like, oh, man, but if he's fully healthy,

807
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's a guy you obviously have to take.

808
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: Somebody will pay him. But now I wonder if now

809
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: the Texans are not going to be in the market

810
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: for any of these guys, because if you don't, if

811
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: you don't get Tyron Matthew for fourteen I don't see

812
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: you paying Earl Thomas fourteen what Kareem Jackson? I I

813
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: was gonna say, what fall? Yeah, where does he fall

814
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: into this? Well? I I go back to Kareem and

815
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: I say, look, he doesn't have a lot of films,

816
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: so I don't think he can go out and say

817
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: I want fourteens to other teams, to other teams. There

818
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: is a lot of film. But how many times has

819
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: Kareem been in practice that this team has seen. They've

820
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: seen the transition to safety, so they've seen that and

821
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: they know what he brings. So I've said all along,

822
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: I felt like they would bring back one or the other.

823
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: They would bring back Tiring to bring back Kareem. And

824
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: you know what Kareem put on Instagram or tweet the

825
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: other day. Nine percent sure he was he was leaving.

826
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Look things change in this league pretty fast. That nine

827
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: percent can go the other direction because the Texas can

828
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: you talk to him and say, look, maybe they don't

829
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: give maybe they don't have as many years in the

830
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: deal and maybe as much money as they would offer

831
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Tiring because Tiring is twenty seven and Kareem's thirty one.

832
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: But they could say to him, look, you've been around,

833
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: you know what this is all about. We want to

834
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: continue to do this with you. Maybe that's maybe that's

835
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 1: the way you go because all these teams are starting

836
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: to scratch their safety itch in some sense, I don't know,

837
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: But again I go back to I go back to

838
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: the fact that your safety position was never as good

839
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: as it was until last year. And what's the what's

840
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: what did you do last year that you hadn't done

841
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: years prior to that? You drafted one in the third

842
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: round and it hit. If you draft another one that hits,

843
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: you're set for a long time with playmakers in the back.

844
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: And you're paying a third round safety and I would imagine,

845
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a third round safety. You're paying two

846
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: third round safeties, not even I mean what a quarter

847
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: of what you would paying fourteen million dollars a year

848
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: right to some veterans. So mathematically and value wise, you

849
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: get more bank for your buck when you go young.

850
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: And that's why I've always said you've got to win

851
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: in a draft. This safety market is starting to look

852
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: like a cornerback market, is it not? In some sense? Yeah,

853
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: I feel like usually the Ramsey noticed too. Do you

854
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: see what he said? Did he said He tweeted something

855
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: similar too, because I feel like cornerbacks are the ones

856
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: that get the flashy contracts. But I'm surprised because I

857
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: don't remember ever seeing safeties getting paid like this, especially

858
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: when we thought with all these safeties in the free

859
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: agent pool, no one's gonna overpay because you just have

860
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: your pick which which safety fits your system? In which

861
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: safety you want to you want to sign? Yeah, I mean,

862
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: and it's kind of not working in that way because

863
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: Washington messed it up for every bit, seemingly. I mean,

864
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: they set, Washington, what were you doing? I don't know,

865
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: they set They set the real estate market way out there,

866
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: really high. But I thought it was interesting because Jay

867
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Ramsey was like, man, he took a shot at landing

868
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: Collins too. He's like, box safety's getting paid, huh. And

869
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: he's basically saying land in Collins is nothing but a

870
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: box safety, which Tyrant is not. I mean, Tyrn, you

871
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: can move all over the formation, you can do a

872
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: lot of different things. Now he's not the physical specimen

873
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: that Collins is, but you can move Tyron, as we

874
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: saw in a lot of different places. And by going

875
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, we'll end up seeing Tyron one time

876
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: this year? All right, some other notable free agents that

877
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: have signed. I feel like I've been trying to watch

878
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: Twitter while we've been doing this show. But I think

879
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: the main ones hit a little bit earlier in the day.

880
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Jackson turns to the Eagles via trade. Reportedly, Yeah,

881
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: between Philly and Tampa Bay. That should be whold be

882
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,479
Speaker 1: interesting concerning the Eagles are signing a lot of guys

883
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: and letting others go, so I think it's gonna look

884
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: very different. Did you see this one? The Indieapolis Cults

885
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: have signed a receiver. It's a one year deal for

886
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: thirteen million, but Devin Funcius. Oh, interesting, big receiver. What

887
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: I find interesting is they had Terrell Williams. I wonder

888
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: if Terrell Williams, no, I'm sorry, they don't roll imman

889
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: Um not throw Williams is going to have a market

890
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: at receiver. But they don't. They have t Y Hilton,

891
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: they have Deon Kane who's coming back. So they've kind

892
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: of got stair steps sizewise, they're gonna have the power

893
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: forward and Funchius. They're gonna have the small forward in

894
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: Deon Kane, and then they're gonna have the point guard

895
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: at t Y Hilton, so lux got some weapons and

896
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: plus they still have Eric Ebron. So I think that's

897
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: a good signing for the Colts to go out and

898
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: get Devin Funcious, making it even that much more important deal. Yeah,

899
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of a proven deal. It's a proven deal.

900
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: So he proves it, we'll stay in Indianapolis. If not,

901
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: then he'll be on the market again. But h but Funch,

902
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: this is a big dude. He is a He's a

903
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: small forward out there on the perimeter. So it makes

904
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: it that much more important. Deep good and get bigger, stronger,

905
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: faster at corner for this team for sure. Yeah. Absolutely,

906
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: all right, So that just that just went down, and

907
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: then um, the Patriots obviously left tackle Trent Brown to

908
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: the Raiders four year, sixty six million. I haven't seen

909
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: any other tackles sign anywhere. I know we've been trying

910
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that. Yeah, I don't think

911
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: any of them. I don't think any of them have

912
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: to be honest. I think for that also setting the market,

913
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: I think because the two of the tackles, I mean,

914
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: if you just if you look at the list of

915
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: offensive tackles, the other two that are at the top

916
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: of the list are Juwan James and Daryl Williams, and

917
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: I believe both of them are coming off of injuries.

918
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know how that changes things, but it

919
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: does complicate matters a little bit, and that might be

920
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 1: somewhat what's changing things for Earl Thomas as well, because

921
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: he is coming off an injury. So I don't know

922
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: if there's there's something that I don't know, but the

923
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: next two tackles off the board or Juan James and

924
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: Darry Williams about twenty seven, but they're both coming off

925
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: the injuries. After that precipitous fall off at offensive tackle,

926
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing else in the top like two

927
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: hundred free agents at offensive tackle. Jeremy Parnell from Jacksonville

928
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: no thanks, all right, but also available. Levion Ball is

929
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: still out there, everybody. We thought we'd see some news

930
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: from him early on CJ. Mosley and obviously Earl Thomas

931
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: h no news yet, but legal tampering is going to

932
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: continue till Wednesday three pm Central time, and that's when

933
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: the league new year kicks off and free agency officially begin.

934

936
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,719
