Oh Joe, there's saga. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.400 There's drama in Cincinnati. Joe Barrow says he wants the 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.640 team to pay Star Pass Russia Trey Hendrickson. He says 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.600 the team not paying Hendrickson is a significant distraction. Let's 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.000 take a listen to what Joe had to. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.800 Say, jamarant having your great to deals. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.080 Is Trey not being here or his deal not done? 0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.520 Is that a distraction? Of course? 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.000 Course last year we had two, this year we have one, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.000 so we do have less. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.239 You'd love to have none, but you know that's life 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.720 in the NFL World Sport Tray. 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.399 And would love for him to be back. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:16.880 Oh Joe, Yes, sir, it's your take. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.120 Well listen, listen. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:18.800 I love Joe. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.880 Joe also had to understand this his business. It's his business, 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.919 and the Browns have one way of doing things. They've 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:29.160 done things one way. And despite what he may say, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.000 despite his concerns about wanting Tree to be paid, or 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.079 him or being a distraction with him not getting paid. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.280 This is the way they conduct business. All teams conduct 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.160 business in the same manner. They're not going to be 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.520 swayed or forced or bullied into paying the individual based 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:53.400 on how we as players, whether we deform or fans 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.560 see fit. They're going to do things their way. They paid, 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.480 They paid Joe Burrow, they paid Jamar Chase, they they 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.400 paid t Higgins. I don't know. I don't have the 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.880 numbers in front of me. I don't know how much 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.800 is left, uh in caloriees, salary cap space. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.880 But not enough to pay trade what he wants. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.360 Would not actually not enough to pay him what he wants. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.040 But I'm assuming maybe they're trying to find some middle ground. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.000 But from what I've heard that there are no talks 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.280 going on at all, So I do trade. Trey is 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.560 standing in his ground, and he's not in a position 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.919 despite being the sack leader last year and the sack 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.200 leader before that the year before that. Like he was 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.520 a sack leader, but what was our defense rank? Can 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.160 someone look that? Can't ass look that up right now? 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.000 I mean, he just was really quick, just curious. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.640 Without trade, you'd have been you'd have been seventeenth in college, 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.560 so you had trade for you at the bottom at 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:47.120 the NFL. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.240 Okay, so they look at all that, they look at it. Listen, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.640 I wanted to get paid. I wanted to get paid 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.040 for based on what he's done, you know, to date. 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.520 But they look at it completely different than the way 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.680 we look at it as fans, and obviously me. Listen, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.440 I love my banngals and I love I would love 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.280 for trade to get bade. But uh, it's a tough 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.839 spot that we're in. I'm not sure what's gonna happen. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.480 I think at some point, if things don't get worked out, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.040 I'm assuming maybe a trade of some sort might happen 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.600 at the least opportune time, when we least expected. 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.040 I look at it like this, oh Joe, considering he's 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.520 the best defensive player, and when you look at that 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:31.479 defensive line, who else? Most teams have two guys, yes, yes, 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.719 you know, you have Micah and then you have another guy. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.240 Or you look at let's just say, for the sake 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.800 of Ark, you look at the Eagles, they have multiple guys. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:44.000 You look at Kansas City they have Chris Chris Jones 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.760 and have Coloftus. You know, they have multiple guys most teams, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.719 although they're not on the same level, but they have. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.640 You look at a hot Smith and you look at Watt, 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.320 so most guys have somebody. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.960 To play off of. It's him. Yeah, he let the 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.320 league in sacks, but really no one else besides. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.599 You know, and brother Sam Huppert just retired. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:02.960 Huh. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.320 Yes, hurt most of the Yeah, yeah, he was hurt. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.200 And also when I think about it, I look at 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:14.560 the AFC North right from a standpoint and needing defensive players. 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.360 It's bad enough we're already bad on defense. Then let's 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.240 not make it worse, at. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.280 Least in the city Buffalo, Baltimore. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.440 And yeah, I mean, my goodness, like we we need 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.640 trade in the in the the dearest dearest way possible 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.960 to try to do what we can defensively. So we 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.280 can we can. We can start a little better this season. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.040 You know, I know we always talk about the offense. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.200 You know, they always start slow, always out out the gate, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.119 you know, being zero and to or one in one whatever. 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.359 We got to stop somebody though, Yeah, we gotta be 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.719 okay you said, I'm saying, but here's the thing. They 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.560 have one bad too bad possessions. Their defense can't stop anybody. Now, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.440 all of a sudden, you fourteen points down. Hey, you 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.559 gotta lead. Okay, let's just say, for the sake of Barbie, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.880 you have a And we saw this against Baltimore. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.120 They have two bad possessions. Now Baltimore has the leader. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:05.240 The lead. 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.160 Yeah, so what how far away are we from from 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.120 having a decent defense? Just curious you from your listen, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.880 you know this is this is. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.480 And y'all just cut Pratt. Remember y'all released Pratt? 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.279 Yes, so wall hold on Pratt with prattp Prapp with 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.240 a little back was the mic linebacker. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.560 Yeah, he led your team in tackles. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:26.240 He did so. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.120 Logan Wilson plays. They drafted somebody. They drafted somebody in 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:32.560 the second round out of South Carolina. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.039 I was reading yesterday night. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.720 They must he must be played. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:36.840 They see really high on him. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.000 Yeah, we're gonna be gonna plug and play then, huh. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.120 Yeah, we got to remember. Pratt was like, hey, he 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.080 wanted a contract extension. He wanted to be you know, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.240 want to bump and pay. They're like, noah, bro, we 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.720 can't bump you and pay. I was reading, now, I 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.120 don't know you know, maybe somebody just throwing out numbers. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.560 I think Trey's supposed to make what fifteen, sixteen, seventeen million. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.279 Yeah, they're trying to get him to twenty eight. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.200 I don't think he's looking at list anything that doesn't 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.799 start with a three. No, I'm not now I honestly, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.880 because you see, you see he's like, hold on, one 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.280 guy making fifty five, another guy making forty, another guy 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.040 making thirty, and then y'all want me to come in 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.160 at twenty eight, And he sees Miles Garrett. He knows 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.440 Michael is about to get something that starts with a four. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.200 Y'all want me to start with a two? Yeah, I 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.160 just don't see that. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.440 Not. Let's be fair. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.160 If he wants to get what he wants, he's not 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.200 gonna be able to get it because everything you just 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.840 ran off, we just pakee making fifty five, then there's 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.560 no room for you to make do you tall? Do 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.640 you take a discount? Do you take a discount? 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.840 And no, the question is better question does he miss 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.560 the first eight games and then come back to the 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.240 last eight games to make sure he gets a credited season, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.080 or does because that's what I would do, because if 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.080 you don't come back, they still have your rights. So 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.440 I would you know it. That depends on how serious 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:54.400 he is about his money. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.440 Oh, he's serious. He's serious, and this this is the 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.560 thing that you can do when they know you the game, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.520 when they know you love the game, and they know 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.160 you can't stay away from the game. There was want 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.680 to be team first team that teams and team oriented 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.120 and be the but when it comes time to play, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.200 this is what this is what happens. Yeah, let's talk 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.400 about the Bengals in general. I'm talking about in general. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.800 They will use your love for the game against you 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.400 because the bus inside of things will sneak upon you 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.640 and bite your nass. Yeah. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.400 I'm trying to think a guy that Sean Gilbert might 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.080 be the only guy that I can remember that missed 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.400 the whole season and then he ended up turning around 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.120 and getting paid. I think he went to Carolina. I 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.760 think it's with Washington and he ended up going to Carolina. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.800 It might be vice versa, but that's what I mean. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.760 I think the thing is to say what I would do. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.960 It's easy to say what because you're not in that situation. Me. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.520 I ain't missing no time. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.640 I understood that that was time I wasn't gonna be 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.600 able to get back. And like you said, Oh Joe, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.719 I think the thing is, they know the guys that really. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.319 Everybody don't love the game like we do. Now. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.920 Yeah, definitely, so they're gonna hard time up. Well, it's 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.800 all we got knowing. Damn well, we might miss a game, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.280 but we ain't missing no half of those seasons, entire season. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.280 We love it too much. Listen. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.600 And the funny thing about it is, I love the game, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.239 but I think during my time I was in fortunate situations. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.040 I think where they came to me early twice, right 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.320 in the early where I didn't have to deal with 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.640 that type of situation. It just to me, it's almost 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.840 it's almost a slapping the face a little bit when 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.880 you think about it. Yeah, almost a slapping the face. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.960 And we take it personally as players, and I know 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.640 they do when situations like this arise. When you understand 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.120 what your value is, you understand what the market is, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.199 and then you have a team that's hesitant in giving 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:50.280 you said market value. Listen, one thing about it. I 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.080 don't care how many how many players you got got paid. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.920 There's always a way to make it happen depending on 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.720 who the players. You do understand that, right. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.080 Yes, But what I don't get from the Bengals, Oh Joe, 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.480 if you had this problem last year and you didn't 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.600 resolve it and during the season or after the season, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.480 what makes you thought the the problem is going to 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.040 go away. It's like if you have a disease and 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.200 don't talk about it, just because you don't talk about it, 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.480 you better go get it, you better treat it. Yeah, 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.400 because talking about it, but because not talking about a problem. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.560 Like it's like two people argue, oh Joe, and you 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:25.199 go to bed. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.280 That issue is not gonna be resolved in the morning 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.880 because you didn't talk about it that night. As a 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.920 matter of fact, you're gonna give people an opportunity to 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.559 build up. They're like this bofo playing with me. He 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.760 couldn't address me. They know, so you led over the steaming. 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.280 She led over the steaming. You know, you get out 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.080 of bed in the morning, you stepping on lips because 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.480 the lip poked out to the flow. His lips poked 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.320 out to the flow. So I don't understand how the 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.400 Bengals thought this situation. And he had another seventeen and 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.120 a half sex season and he led the NFL in 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.400 sacks and somehow you thought he was nobody. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.400 Well, we got a good chance to go. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.120 You had a good chance to go to the super 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.400 Bowl last year or the playoffs last year, and it 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.040 didn't happen. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:08.520 Guys are not you know. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.559 Teams always want you to think, oh, take big picture. No, 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.160 the big picture is me and my family, and that's 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.080 the big picture I'm thinking about. I don't know what y'all, Peyton, 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.960 because Ojo what they what they tell you, Ojoe when 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.720 they release players? You here and I think we're gonna 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.600 talk about this a little later. Joah here yea and 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.800 Google Kiff said what he's said. They're always thinking about 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.360 what is the best interest of the team. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.520 Okay, what is the best interest of the business? 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.840 Okay? Players are businesses, Yes, what isn't the best interest 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.640 of Trey Hendrickson? Not playing is in the best interest 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.640 to Trey Henderson being all unest Now, I'm not telling 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.280 the guy what he should or what he shouldn't do, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.640 but this is what we do know. He take his 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.480 ass out there on that field, and he gets anything 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.120 that happens, Lord forbid, it does not. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.240 Yes, sir, he ain't getting no pay day. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:11:58.880 You know that. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.959 I know that, Yes, sir, Yeah, listen. I think is 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.880 tough one tough spot. The Bengals organization is in a 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.760 tough spot. Trey Hendrickson is in a tough spot. Joe 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.160 Burrow saying that it's a distraction to those that are 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.400 in an organization, those that are that are on the team, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.800 those that are at mini camp right now. I think 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.480 for the fans it's a distraction and it's just like 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.000 overwhelming and they're like, God, damn, here we go again. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.680 But again fans. As players, you have to be able 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:29.920 to separate the personal side of being a football player 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.480 in the business side. I think if you can, you 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.960 can compartmentalize and be able to separate the two and 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.800 understand that it is business first. It's not personal. It's 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.960 nothing against you as a player, but this is the 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.600 way they conduct themselves, not just with the Bengals, but 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.960 with every team in general. I think you'll be all right. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.880 I want Tray to get his money though, you know, 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.480 even if it's not with us, I would love to 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.520 see him back with the Bengals, but I would also 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.000 love to see him get what deserves somewhere else. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.679 Because I think the thing is, Oh Joe. What happens 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.880 is that Joe would like to talk about what a 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.840 great deal practice they're had, Yes, sir, but the media 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.760 is asking him about Trade's contract. They're asking him about 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.640 the rookies contract, who we're going to talk about in 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.640 just a second. So he's like, bro, I'm trying to say, hey, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.960 T and I had a great comment, had a great 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.480 work today. We got some great work to done today. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.680 We got better today. But you're asking me about a 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.000 player that's not here. I don't know what you want 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.880 me to say. Joe is being the leader that he is. Yeah, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.160 we love to have Trade, and I think he's done 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.800 enough to he's earned, not deserve, he's. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.840 Earned a raise and pay because guess what. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.800 Let's just say, for the sake of argument, Oh Joe, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.480 instead of having seventeen and a half sacks, he had 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.600 five and a half sacks. Do you think they would 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.240 keep him on the contract that he has now? Absolutely not, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.800 I answer it for you know they wouldn't. So now 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.839 he outperformed the contract, you don't want to reward him, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.280 but if he underperformed, you will punish him. Yes, and 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.199 that's the way it is, and hopefully fans like see 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.400 that and I understand. Look, I understand you weren't running 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.400 a business, but guys normally played better guy's team after 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.120 being in you know, a business you're working, perform better 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.120 when they're compensated. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:13.600 Yeah. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.480 Yeah, Oh and you're happy, yes, which is which is 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.240 one of the reasons. Why do you think they always 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.440 go ahead and pay the quarterback. Yes, they always paid 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.960 the quarterback. You get your quarterback out the way, so 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.520 he had nothing to worry about. He's in the right 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.080 state of mind and you can focus on the job 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:35.000 at hand, no distractions and again, not being able to 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.800 get your money after putting in all the work, you know, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.440 the sacrifice, the sweat, the injuries. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.800 He led. I mean there, I mean he led the 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.800 entire league in sacks. He did that, Yeah he I 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.000 mean he had seventeen and a half. He was I mean, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.920 he was in the running for defensive Player of the Year. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.520 And he's probably thinking to himself, what the hell do 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.880 I have to do to get rewarded for my hard work. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.400 Yeah, that's crazy, it's unfortunate. And listen, this is this 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.400 happens all the time. Yeah sure, Well, it happens all 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.400 the time, Ye happens. It's his turn, his turn. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.840 Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart is still waiting to take his 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.960 first practice rep in the NFL. He also had some 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.440 words for the Bengals today in comparing his situation with trades. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.520 Let's take a listen to what he had to say. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.640 Like some people say, we all greed, trade will be right, right, 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.320 but technically still one percent wrong for being under contract. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.200 So and in my case, I'm one hundred percent right, 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.480 so it should be a no brainer. And in trades case, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.520 I think it should be a no brainer too. I mean, 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.200 he led seventeen and a half second two for two years 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:44.720 back the back. 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.280 If I was the gym or I was the owner, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.640 take all my money. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.200 But I guess they don't offer it like that, but 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.040 you know they do not. Hey, listen, hey, it's easy 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.920 to say take all my money when you not the gym, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:05.000 and oh yes, money don't easy to say that, but listen, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.200 you learn quick. You learn, you learn quick, and you 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.600 learn fast. Rookie will understand that this is a business 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.280 and it's running a little different. It's running little different. 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.880 Now he's had seventeen and a half sex back to 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.360 back seasons, right, and then they're they're hesitating, they're hesitant 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:23.000 on paying them. So in situations like this, this will 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.800 tell you how they really feel about you. Yes, depending 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.840 on the player is, depending on who the player is 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.120 and how much they value you and what you bring 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.600 to the table. Oh man, they're not even playing when 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.840 it's time to get paid. I don't care who I 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:36.560 don't care who you are. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.640 Let's say this is what Mike Florio for Pro Football 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:45.560 Focus right this Football Talk PFT. He said, the Bengals 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.520 have decided to wedge a new clause into Stuart's deal. 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.880 The clause would turn a default in any given year 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.640 into a void of all remaining guarantees, and prior Bengals 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.640 contracts avoid wiped out only the guarantees for the year 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.080 in which the default occurred. Stuart refuses to be the 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.600 be guinea pig for the new term, and the Bengals 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.920 refused to blink. As a result, Stuart will be less 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.480 prepared for training camp than he would have been. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.880 So in other word, a lot of times they put 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:15.680 a clause in there. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.440 Oh Joe, it's said if you do something wrong, the 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.280 money you were supposed to get in that year, right 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.280 is wiped away. Now they put the new clause in 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.119 there say if you do something wrong, any guaranteed that 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.359 you're supposed to get in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.679 twenty eight. That's gone too. Oh no, hell no. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.800 I understand. To me, honestly, I don't. I don't like 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.240 the verbiage. But again I would. I would have it 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.080 on a year to year basis and this year if 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.000 you mess up, you know, and there was contact der 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.760 MISSISSI the team or sess that is that serious where 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.720 we need to recoup some of that money back. That's 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.280 guaranteed I see fit to do so. But yes, messing 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:03.800 up on the board the board pop absolutely not hell 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.720 and not over what. But man, that made me curse. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.520 Don't made me curse that I just got seen the 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:09.960 other day. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:10.520 Don't do that. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:16.240 Don't do that. But I know they're trying to set 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.520 a president. I'm not sure what president that not with 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:23.480 me not listen outside of don't get in any trouble period. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:24.879 I don't know if he has a pass, if he 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.640 has the past history of doing things wrong, I don't 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.000 know for them to actually want to put that clause 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.280 in his contract all of a sudden, out the blue 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.960 set a president with this individual. I'm not sure what 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.960 his path looks like, that's anything I could think of, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:40.680 and why they want to do something. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:47.440 Like that, and no, but it seems to be like 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.119 this is something that they're trying to do moving forward 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.359 to everybody. Yes, only because the clause would the default 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.880 in any given year into a void of all remaining 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.640 guaranteed and prior being contracts, a void wiped out only 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.920 guaranteed for which the year the default a courage. So 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.680 if he did something in twenty five, okay, we wipe 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.480 out the guarantees in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.679 twenty eight is protected. Now they're saying, if you default 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.640 in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight get 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:22.720 wiped away. Oh hell no, oh Joe, that's the whole 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:27.480 purpose of guaranteed, if to be able to get to guarantee. Yes. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.280 Yeah, I have a question. Are there any other NFL 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.880 teams that practice the same clause in their contracts? 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.440 Or we wouldn't We wouldn't know that. Uh, well, there's 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.119 some some you have a contract. Let's just say for 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.320 the sake of argument, you and the NFL you're a 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:50.520 wide receiver. Or it's like coaches, like a college, like 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:54.040 an NFL coach, I give you you say, I got 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.480
