So we have to talk about that. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.280 These guys have disappear. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.520 I want to say, we did like one seventeen last year, 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.480 So we got to ask their conversations about that. See 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.080 how we can get that back up. I'm sure the 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.200 listeners out there like yeah, I know it's been a problem. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:31.520 So we'll figure. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.679 Out other podcast you can look at to stop it. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.560 We're not going to promote all your other podcasts, twenty. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.679 Of them, The Draft Show, the Draft Show, yeah, Drash Show. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.360 Yeah, you could definitely go check out the Draft. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:42.640 Botch and I have a show together. You can do 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:43.280 that too, I'll. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.680 Do Okay, okay, free agency. We'll talk free agency. I 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.320 do want to first start. I want to get just 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.279 in a general just your general thoughts on free agency. 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.520 I'm not talking about even the Cowboys specifically, just the 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.919 first couple of days of free agency across the NFL. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.040 Anything pop out to you, anything interesting to you worth noting. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:03.720 You said across the NFL CROs the. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.120 NFL just in a free agency this year, the tone 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:06.480 of it. 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.600 Yeah, I think you look at the Niners and then 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.360 them kind of blowing up that roster in a way, 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.240 I think that's I think that's a fascinating, you know, 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.200 situation that's happened there Philadelphia. Yeah, they've lost some guys too, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.560 but at San Francisco really looks like they are just 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.080 getting ready to pay this quarterback and they're getting rid 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.799 of all the extra pieces that they don't feel like 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.600 they'll need so, I mean, whether it's letting Joey or 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.280 not Joey Bosa, letting Kyle Yustchuk go, who's a guy 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.960 who's been one of their culture blocker room leaders for 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.239 a long time, or trading Deebo Samuel or letting Sharvarius 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.640 Ward or Talifo Haufanga go. I mean players, Yeah, a 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.560 lot of talented players on both sides of the ball. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.520 San Francisco has gone from man, they're gonna have a 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.079 luxury to pick whoever they want at eleven too, man, 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.280 they might need to pick for need at eleven. So yeah, 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.840 that's been the thing that probably stod outs to me 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.960 the most. I don't think there's anything too surprising about, 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.240 you know, certain free agents landing with certain teams. It 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.959 really doesn't matter until the preseason or season comes around 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.320 and then you can kind of evaluate it. I think 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.840 DeVante Adams so the RAMS is fun, But aside from that, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.320 I don't I don't really buy into the man, this 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.920 free agent's gonna help them win the Super Bowl ordeal 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:16.840 until until. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.400 We get to the season. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.959 I hate free agency. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.119 Is it because you're here? 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.400 No, it's because he's a draft guy. I hate, I hate, no, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.160 I hate what they they've done with it. When when 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.440 I was in Pro personnel, there was Derek said, Episode one. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.679 Today was a day we started free agency. It was 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.760 the first day of the league year. I hate this 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.040 tampering period. I hate this because to me, like I said, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.120 we used to meet, we put a board together, you know, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.480 we would talk about what players we were going after, 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.560 and then when it was twelve oh one, you went 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.880 and did free agency. Now it's like three days and then, 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.440 you know, it really takes kind of the luster away 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.320 from it. From a standpoint of covering it, you know, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.440 I like the build up, like the day of when 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.920 free agent, when when the league years started and you're 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.600 able to Boom and Jacksonville and the Rams and you know, 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.040 everybody was doing stuff. And now it's kind of like 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.360 anti climactic the way that this thing is rolling along. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.000 I mean, you're now you're kind of into like tier four, 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.120 Tier five of players maybe five and six, whereas before, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.400 uh and it sounds very back of the day to me. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.240 But I hate it. I hate the fact that they 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.080 have this tampering period. The tampering period was going to 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.920 the combine and walking around and then tampering with guys, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.480 and then when the season of the season, the new 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.360 season opened, then you heard all these names. I just 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.279 I just don't like the build up. I don't I 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.640 don't like the fact that it there's that tampering period before. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.320 I think it just takes away from how much I 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.839 really really did enjoy it one time. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:55.000 Pre agency to me, this year has been completely different 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.719 in my experience because and this is all personal, but 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.200 I personally, for personal reasons, have stopped using Twitter or 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:08.000 x so a lot of the toxicity and just crazy 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.800 things that because it happens a lot where fans start 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.359 creating this content that is not real and just you know, 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.839 a lot of fake news things that fans create on 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.440 their own, and a lot of criticism. So I haven't 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.240 been consuming some of that, most of that. It's not 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.279 part of my life right now. So it's just been 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.760 an easy unless something drastic happens, something crazy, because a 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.239 lot of the things that currently happen during the stage 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.400 is fans start comparing what the Cowboys are doing not doing, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.840 versus what other teams have been doing or have done 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:44.040 in the previous years. So that just taking in I 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.280 think in comparison to previous years too, I feel like 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.760 the we've been a little busier this year when it 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:58.120 comes to those external signings as far as the timeline 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.440 usually takes the Cowboys a couple of days, and then 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.960 we started hearing of those external signings, but now before 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.000 the official date, which is today, we started hearing yesterday 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:14.200 the day before, which doesn't tend to occur because I 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.040 have to create those graphics and put things together, put 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.039 it out. So I think the difference there I've noticed 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.960 from the Cowboys aspect is even though these have not 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.440 been groundbreaking signings, they're still making moves a lot earlier 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:28.400 than what they're used to. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.359 That is true. I think typically we've all gotten accustomed 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.960 to that first week, those first few days of trip 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.200 free agency, the Cowboys really not being a part of 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.600 that unless they're signing their own guys. They do have 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.480 several signings that they've made this week, again not groundbreaking 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.560 by any means, and I think we talked about this 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.840 on our last show. I don't think any of us 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.640 had the expectation the Cowboys are going to be out 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.560 there just throwing money around in free agency. The expectation 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.200 was that maybe they get a couple guys here and 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.600 there that they thought maybe could help them and fill spots. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:58.920 And it sounds like maybe we're going to get into 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.440 some scattering reports here later in the show, but it 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.160 sounds like maybe they may have gotten some guys who 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.839 can be depth pieces. The way I look at this 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.520 is maybe they're restoring some of what they lost last 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.520 year when it came to depth. I don't know that 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.880 they brought in any guys you expect immediately are going 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.160 to step in and be great players for you, but 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.800 maybe some of that depth you lost last offseason is 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.920 going to be restored a bit, and then maybe you 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.840 can use through the draft you can kind of fix 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.080 some of this as well. Let's talk about the Cowboys 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.320 list of free agents. Some of the guys that they've 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.360 re signed to this point, They've they've resigned Olso Diggi Zua, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.880 who we talked about last week. Cavante Turpin just happened yesterday. 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.440 That was I think another important signing for them. They 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.120 also had signed brock Hoffman, Jane Thomas, she did good 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.880 when Brian Anger happens yesterday, Trent Sieve, Marquise Bell, Tyros 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.880 Sweet again, a lot of players that are that are 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.400 really more depth players not really thinking about starters. Other 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.680 than Osa and Cavante are more the starter types. That 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.560 being said, look at the other side of the special 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.080 team group, right, the whole special teams group is back, 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.240 which you know. Actually I'll ask that question because I 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.040 was I thought they would probably try to get Trent 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.200 Seeg back, because when you have a good long snapper, 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.000 you just try to keep him in place. It's no 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.240 reason to go and try to find it. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:15.840 It starts. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.440 Yeah, But my question is Brian Anger, and I don't 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.640 know what your thoughts are, but tell me what you 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.640 thought of his play this last year relative to how 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.320 he's played in years past, and whether you thought this 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:28.800 was a good signing for the Cowboys. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:31.960 Any thoughts on punters. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.400 I you know, I think there was a little bit 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.160 of a regress. Yeah, I don't think it's a huge ordeal. Yes, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.240 he's thirty six, and yes you have him for two 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:42.880 more years. He's going to be thirty eight by the 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.640 time he walks out that door. But I think keeping 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.880 consistency for Brandon Aubrey is probably the most important thing here, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.600 and he's the holder for He's the only NFL holder 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.880 that Brandon Aubrey has known. I think that's more important 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.520 than the quote unquote regress that he had last year. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.680 Yeah, you know, you only notice it when you're really 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.800 bad on offense. Then you notice that, like, okay, why 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.760 is why are teams feel positioned much better? And there 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.920 was a time when you can really count on Brian Anger. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.040 It would be backed up and then he'd done cork 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.560 a fifty four yard punt with you know, towards the 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.160 sidelines and you know, and then there would be no 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.520 return and now you flip the field a little bit 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.600 in your direction. We saw that far less from him 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.160 last year on that it was not not as many 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.719 of those punts where you're like, okay, he clearly changed 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.560 the direction of where this team is about to start 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.080 their drive. So you know, it's something you really like. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.520 I say, you notice it when teams field positioned after 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.360 a punt. And you also notice it though when also 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.880 then the returners are bringing the ball back on you. You 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.360 know that maybe that there's some short punts they're able 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.120 to field them. He's done a really good job in 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.839 his career with the cow Boys of being a directional punter. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.439 And I think that that's something that I'll always appreciate 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.760 about with his game. But you know, it's something that 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.000 I didn't see as much last year where he was 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.679 on cork and those those punts that kind of flipped fields. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.320 Yeah, I understand why you post a question, Derek, But 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.120 just like that, Yeah, he had some hiccups, but overall 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.880 not enough for you to not want to bring him back. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.880 And just like Nick mentioned the importance he brings to 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.440 Brian Brandon, Aubrey and Aubrey, he in an interview that 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.439 he did, he voiced that opinion where he would want 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:39.559 both him and uh see Trent Seek. I can never 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.719 say his last name, but Trent. He would want both 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.560 of them to come back. And it is important to 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.280 and when you see what these guys are doing, I mean, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:54.439 the chemistry between those three guys and Aubrey and Anger 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.280 is just something that you you don't want to break. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:05.240 It keeps out continuity. I can't even say continuity whatever. Yeah, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.960 he just stays the same and it's good. And I 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.280 think also when you see those hiccups with a new coach, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.160 I think the coach is always a believer that they 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.720 can change any improved player, So I think that's the 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.120 idea behind that as well. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.880 Okay, so looking at the two, I think the most 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.839 important signings that the Cowboys have had of keeping their 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.679 own guys Osa and Interpin. Which do you think was 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.720 a more important deal to get done for this team? 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.079 Oh? 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.200 So for sure bringing him back and having that pass 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.800 rush come out of the interior, especially with a defensive 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.400 line coach like Aaron Whitecotton who has maximized interior pass 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.880 rush throughout his time with the New York Jets. So 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.000 when you combine that with what Matt E Reflus is 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.599 trying to do with that three tech spot, how he 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.480 has done that with the entirety of his career. Bringing 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.720 Osa back and getting him back on that team friendly 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.000 deal certainly helps out. I think more in Turpin helps out, 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.840 But I think you know his offensive output is going 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.800 to be limited even if you do, even if you 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.040 do put an emphasis on getting him more involved. How 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.760 valuable is a returner at the end of the day. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.520 And I'm not trying to speak down on Cavante Turpin. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.080 He's the best returner in the game, and I think 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.120 it's value to bring him back as the Commanders. Yeah, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.200 for sure, one hundred percent, But how valuable really is 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:20.679 is a returner at the end of the day. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.040 I just don't see it as much as a three 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:22.640 tech for sure. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:22.800 You know. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.640 I think there's a couple of different ways. And I've 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.240 been very very critical of this front office for some 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.040 of the signings that they've had or lack of, and 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.800 I'll give him credit for this one. They did a 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.600 great job of working with this agent and getting osa 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.760 done for under if you follow along where the money 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.080 went for twenty million dollars a year, and then you 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.360 have other defensive tackles signing for twenty six twenty seven 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.880 million dollars. What it effectively did by getting this deal done, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.719 you got a player back that really really helped you 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.640 last year, one of the better defensive players you had 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.480 him and Jordan Lewis. But it also allows you to 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:57.959 go out and sign two guys. You were able to 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.160 sign Solomon Thomas and you're able to to sign Peyton 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.760 Turner as well with the money that you saved there. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.960 So you basically got three players for the price of 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.680 what you probably were going to have to pay. Oh 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.120 so Diggy Zua, So you know, good for them getting 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.840 that done. On that end, I'll say this about Turpin. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.600 You don't sign him just to be a returner. Here. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.440 This is now eleven personnel stuff. He is going to 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.680 be a part of that. He's you know, whether you 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.560 liked it or not, he showed up. There were times 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.400 when you know he was. They put him in the 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:31.480 backfield and handed him the ball and there was explosive plays, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.520 you know, and you could steal with the pop passes, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.000 the jet sweeps, the screens and stuff. This guy's going 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.600 to be your third wide receiver. He's going to be 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.600 an eleven personnel. He's not going to be just a 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.000 returner anymore. I think this coaching staff is going to 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.880 use him in that way. So I don't look at 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.840 him as just that returner. But I like what the 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.720 Cowboys did by getting Osa done because I think it 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.360 also afforded him a couple of other players along the way. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.480 See with my answer, it's kind of weird the way 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.400 I'm going to But for me, Osa has a higher ceiling. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.840 Like I feel like with Osa, I still have a 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.640 lot more to see. I think he can do a 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.560 lot more that's more impactful, especially on defense. And that's 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.040 not to say Cavante doesn't have a lot more that 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.080 he can bring to the table. In fact, I do 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:21.840 think he does, but based on the previous coaching staff 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.080 and the opportunities that he has been given, I think 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.480 that it never quite fully works out. And I'm saying 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.040 in the way for you to maximize his potential. Now 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.520 you have a completely different coaching staff at the moment, 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.920 so maybe there's a change in that where we can 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.120 see him progress in other areas, just like Brian mentioned, 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.600 but based on previous years, I think right now, I 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.560 feel that Osa has a lot more to give in 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.680 a more impactful way when on the defensive side. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.560 All right, let's take our first break. When we come back, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.240 I want to talk about some of the players that 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.200 Dallas has lost from their previous from their twenty twenty 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.440 four roster, and them some of those players may have 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.960 on this upcoming season. We'll talk about when we come back. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.560 This is Dallascowboys dot Com Radio. 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.120 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.120 cheatah Savannah.

All right, 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.639 let's talk about some of the guys that cowboys have lost. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.920 I think the biggest one is Jordan Lewis. I made 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.840 it clear last week that after they signed OS, I 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.879 was like, this is the next guy I really really 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.600 want them to bring back. But the deal that he got, 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.639 it was it was probably something the Cowboys wouldn't or 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.560 couldn't pay, and certainly was something he couldn't pass up. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.359 A three year, thirty million dollar deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.959 Twenty million of that guaranteed heck of a haul for him. 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.760 That being said, what do you think of the deal 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.840 and do you think it was something the Cowboys maybe 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.399 should have entertained spending that much money on a nickel corner. 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.800 I don't want to get into the weeds of financially 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.440 because yes, they financially could afford it, But then talk 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.840 about X that that'd be a whole conversation there. I say, 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.120 you know, looking at the ten million dollars per year, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.240 making him the richest nickel in the NFL, I understand 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.600 why the Cowboys maybe could have passed on a on 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.680 a contract like that. Granted, there is probably no other 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.600 guy in that locker room you would like to retain 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.719 more than him, so you also factor that in. And 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.680 I did a radio call with a guy in Jacksonville 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.879 after the signing happened, and he was asking me. He's like, so, 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.679 you know, what is the full package Jordan Lewis? You know, 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.119 not only on the field and off the field. And 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.680 as I was starting to talk about all the things 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.960 he's contributed off the field from a locker room perspective, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.160 shoot from a media perspective, community perspective, I was like, man, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.439 this is a big loss and the new factor in 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.840 the on play on the field play. He had his 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.360
