11
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: And so you go from you you're a young think

12
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 4: about it. You're a young elite wide receiver in the

13
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: National Football League. You are killing it. You are on

14
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: a Hall of Fame trajectory. And the team that you

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: play for, Trey lets you the guy who lets your

16
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: quarterback walk out the door. And free agency only to

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: bring in Sam Darnold.

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: It's a new day in Minnesota for Justin Jefferson.

19
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: They're gonna draft one.

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you think they're gonna draft They can't go in

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: the season with Sam Darnald.

22
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I think they picked eleven, they pick eleventh. I believe

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna draft one.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: You think Mike Pennix lasts till eleven? Yes, I draft

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 4: that guy. I like Michael Pennix.

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: I think.

27
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: I do too. A lot of people are very high

28
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: on Drake May and I haven't. I gotta say, I'm

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: not as familiar with Drake May i am with Pennix.

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: I've seen Pennis play on television. I'm like, and I'm like, obviously,

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: haven't worked him out. I like him a lot. He's

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: been he's had well, yes, and they say, well, he's

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: been injured. He's been healthy for two years.

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: Two years.

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: That's a career that he's been healthy. In the NFL.

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: For some guys, I like Michael Pennix junior better than

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: Drake May, Jayden Daniels or j J McCoy.

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 3: It worries me about Drake May Is.

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's ready to play now. Now,

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: if you have a situation on your team where you

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: can have your quarterbacks coach work with that guy for

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: his rookie season, yeah, but and do the Patrick Mahomes

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: deal or even the Jordan Love deal, then I'll listen.

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: But if you are drafting Drake May to have him

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: play week one, I am no, thank you.

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: Well, you can't draft well, okay, so you're if you're Minnesota,

47
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: whoever they draft shouldn't be Drake is gonna play day

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,279
Speaker 4: one because Sam Darling.

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: And to beat him out, Then it shouldn't be Drake

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 2: may right.

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: Michael Pennix. Now he may come in as that guy's

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: got a live arm, leadership skills, the body language things go,

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: and the leadership quality. I mean, that guy, to me

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: is a much better player than he's getting credit for now.

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: Me and I'm I didn't know. I don't know what

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: his medical is. They say he's injured. He's been healthy

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: for two years, like I said, but maybe he's got

58
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: you know, something else going on that makes teams shy

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 4: away from it early. But man, oh man, the guy

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: can play.

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: He can play.

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Uh before we spin into what is going on around

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: the league, and there is some pretty big news. I

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: got to ask you this question because I experienced this

65
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: an hour ago. What, in your estimation is the most

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: dangerous food to your palette after being reheated in the microwave.

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: Well, pizza is up there because you always heat it

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: too much.

69
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a danger. Okay, that would be on

70
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: the top of your list.

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably because it's the most common as well.

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: I submit to you the frozen burrito Oh yeah, good.

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: One have to cook that thing for sixty seconds. Okay,

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: so that's number one. Number two, the temperature on the

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: outside of the burrito is approximately three hundred degrees fahrenheit

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: cooler than the center of the burrito, which, for all

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, is a searing inferno of heat. And

78
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: so you know, you kind of test the outside of

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: the burrito. You'll wait a couple of minutes. I mean

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: I waited five minutes before I even picked the thing

81
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: up first bite. I still scorched my tongue. I'm just

82
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: telling you, if you are stranded on a polar ice cap,

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: if you have a power source, a microwave, and a

84
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: frozen burrito, the frozen burrito will keep you warm and alive.

85
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: For three days. Is there a correlation never escapes?

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: Is there from a microwave burrito?

87
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: It is outright dangerous.

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: They gotta put warning labels on those things.

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: Is there a correlation you think between foods that can

90
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 4: do heat thing like that and also have no expiration date.

91
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there's some substance in there there. The conductive

92
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: heat retention of a frozen burrito after being cooked for

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: a minute, just a minute in the microwave. I mean,

94
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: it's like nuclear fission going on in there. It's unbelievable.

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: I mean I told you, I said, I let it

96
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: sit for five minutes. Because I've experienced this before. I

97
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: was like, okay, five minutes were good, you know, first bike,

98
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I will spin it out in the

99
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: garbage panel. I don't know if there's a more dangerous

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: reheated food in the microwave.

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's the thing to Microwaves have always been a

102
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: dicey thing when you read if it's not one of

103
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: those stirable foods.

104
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Well, we're old enough to remember the giant box microwaves.

105
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: Do you remember those? They used to have a table

106
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: for themselves in the kitchen.

107
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: Took three guys to lift it. I remember, listen when

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: they came to.

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: These a little bit.

110
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: Now they're like the size of a LAPTI. I remember

111
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: they were the size of a thirty inch TV.

112
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: I remember when I was like in between second and

113
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: sixth grade, somewhere in your little elementary this is this

114
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 4: is this like fifty years ago. Back then, we got

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: we They said, try to see what because nobody knew

116
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 4: what they were. So we got one that this company

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: my mom worked for gave it try and see if

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: it works. It's like, you can use it for a month,

119
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: tesk right, the tasks right. So yeah, we were basically labrats.

120
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: We're basically labrats. And they said, guess what it does.

121
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: What I said, it'll cook a hot dog in twenty seconds.

122
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 5: Come on.

123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 4: Sure. He put the hot dog in there and this

124
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: You could feel the electoral magnetic waves coming out of

125
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: that thing, right, I mean it was like it was

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: like Oppenheimer up in there.

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 6: Right.

128
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: So we're like we're sitting there. We turned that thing

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: on and literally fifteen seconds after that thing pops on,

130
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: that hot dog is exploding, like like split couldn't even

131
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: put it on a bunny. Let me tell you something awesome.

132
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were like, awesome, this is awesome.

133
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: Slap that thing and slice of bread.

134
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: I have to shake a popcorn over the stove for

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: ten minutes, hoping everything pops in there.

136
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: I can throw a bag in the microwaves.

137
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I remember. The thing was this. Of

138
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: course I was little, but the thing was huge and.

139
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: We had a separate rolling table.

140
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: We had a small kitchen.

141
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and this thing was gargantuine. It was like

142
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: the size of an old nineteen inch tube set like

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: depth wise, height wise, with wise like the whole nine.

144
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: My mom lot like a rolling table and put it

145
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: next to the fridge just to sit this thing on

146
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: there so.

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: We could use it.

148
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man, I mean, come on all the way.

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Well, you're up against the glass looking at what's going

150
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: on in there, and I'm like, can you imagine how

151
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: many microwaves through this brain?

152
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: I forget it.

153
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: The microwaves are great. I mean you use them all

154
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: the time, and they're very they're handy, and it's a

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: great way to heat stuff whatever they use them for.

156
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: That they were good. But you know what it's there's

157
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: still something about standing over with a with a pan

158
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: and you know, toss the yeah on the stove popcorn.

159
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: As it's been fifty years since those literally fifty years

160
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: since the microwaves started to be used, and now everybody's

161
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 4: got I mean it's like, yeah, it's like a it's

162
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: like a faucet. You gotta have one.

163
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: Think we got ours in eighty two, I want to say,

164
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: see mine would have been ten years before that.

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah you were the beta test.

166
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah maybe before I mean it was yeah, it was

167
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: very early, very early.

168
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: This was in the.

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: Early well that might have been yeah, early seventies. Yeah, wow,

170
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 4: andant man kids coming over watching it.

171
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 3: Look at this thing, Look at it. Let's blow stuff out.

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: You know, we go through like six packs of hot

173
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 4: dogs just to cook them, right, because then we can

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: watch it.

175
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's treachery heating up burritos in the microwave.

176
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: They still have got that, right. You gotta come on you.

177
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 3: There's gotta be different ways even, there's gotta be.

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: Even And I know this too, that you have different buttons.

179
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: Now it's like, ok, here's the for pizza, here's for popcorn,

180
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: here's for reheating cast role, here's for all that stuff.

181
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: But you know they're trying right forty years later, but.

182
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: Dude, yeah, it's a I'm telling you it's it's high

183
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: it's high risk danger out there trying to who hast

184
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: out of the microw absolutely.

185
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: Scarred yourself on the inside of your mouth because and

186
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: look at you touch it and it's like it's not bad, Yeah,

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: it's not bad. Then you take a bite, it's.

188
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: Like yeah, because the internal core is like.

189
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: It's like biting into a into a charcoal Briquette.

190
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not good. So just be careful out

191
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: there people. That's our public service message for the day.

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: We got to go around the NFL. We'll begin with

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: the Bills. As usual around the NFL, brought to you

194
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

195
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 2: and the Bills were busy on.

196
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Day one of the free agent negotiating period.

197
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: The latest official deal is they have agreed to terms

198
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: with day Kwon Jones on a two year deal worth

199
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: a reported sixteen million dollars. And look, I would say

200
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: dollars to donuts. If you ask most Bills fans the

201
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: number one priority for getting a player back in the

202
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: fold on the roster last year who was a free

203
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: agent this spring, Daikwon Jones might have been at the

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: top of everybody's list. Yeah, would you agree with that.

205
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Yes, one of those guys like Jordan Phillips when he

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: was you know, when he was playing so well, when

207
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: he was out of the lineup, you missed him. They

208
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: lost something. Now I'll say this too, and I'm a

209
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: big fan of Daikuon and George Phillips and all those guys.

210
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: Down inside. One of the things about what happens in

211
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: these defenses. Though, when you get guys that are playing

212
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: at a certain level and all that, you start to

213
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: build around them. So you start to build it around them.

214
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: The guys get the rhythm with him in there, they

215
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: start to gel a little bit as a unit. So naturally,

216
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: whenever you take a key guy out of there, then

217
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 4: it's the void seems huge. I'm not saying there's nobody

218
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 4: on the free agent market that would have been as

219
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: good as Daikwan Jones, but we know when day Kawan

220
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: Jones was in there for the Bills this past year,

221
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: he knew what you could count on. That guy held

222
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: the line. They did not win the line of scrimmage

223
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: when he was in the in there and he freed

224
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: it up at Oliver didn't get doubled, Vaughan didn't get doubled.

225
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: He maybe got chipped once in a while. You know,

226
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: he just took up two guys and you could just

227
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: tell the difference in the like maybe even like just

228
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: looking at the offense of the other team seemed comfortable,

229
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, you could just the whole

230
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: game seemed to change when dayk one wasn't on the

231
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: field or when he was absent. I'm not saying down

232
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: after down after down, but as a general place Daykon

233
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: was a difference maker. So for that reason, I thought,

234
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: there's no way we're getting him back. Somebody's gonna say

235
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: see that and say, well, we're got to have him.

236
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: You know, big dudes are hard. Good players that are

237
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: big dudes are hard to find.

238
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: And I don't know if this played a role in

239
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: his decision at all. Obviously he likes playing here. We

240
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 2: know that because we've had him in the studio, We've

241
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: asked him. He's also a New York State native. He's

242
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: a Binghamton area guy from down in Johnson City, and

243
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: I know we had him here in studio last year

244
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: or maybe the year before, and he said he really

245
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: enjoys his family having the ability to come up for

246
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: games right there. It's only about a three hour drive

247
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: from Binghamton, so that's a plus for him. Now from Binghamton,

248
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: can you get to a few other places in three

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: or four hours? Yeah, you can probably get down to

250
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 2: New York and New Jersey in that amount of time

251
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: as well. But it was something that I know he

252
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: enjoyed having his family here for as many games as

253
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: they would make it up to because he was in

254
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: close proximity. So sometimes that stuff factors.

255
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: In, No, it always factors in. In fact that you

256
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: can bet he's hearing it from me. Yeah, you gotta

257
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: stay there, man, it's great. Come on, you know you're

258
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: not going to San Francisco. Yeah, oh, that kind of thing.

259
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: You're not going. You know it may it means something.

260
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: It's a gift to your family and it's it's fun

261
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 4: to give it that way. So I'm yeah, I'm sure.

262
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: I'm sure that was a huge consideration for him.

263
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: The other big news last night was ESPN's Field Yates

264
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: reporting that Josh Allen has helped create cap space with

265
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: a contract restructure. This was widely anticipated because of the money.

266
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: It could save.

267
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: It could have saved even more than the deal that

268
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: was struck here. But in the end, sixteen point seven

269
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: million in cap space created by the restructure of Josh

270
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: Allen's contract. He had a twenty three and a half

271
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: million dollar base salary this year, and we don't know this,

272
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: but we're presuming they converted sixteen point seven million of

273
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: that into a bonus to be amortized over the remaining

274
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: five years of the contract counting this season. This reduced

275
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: Allen's cap hit from forty seven million down to about

276
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: thirty million in change, as our good friend ESPN's Field

277
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Gates reported last evening, so that gave them some breathing room.

278
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: Now, there are some conflicting reports out there.

279
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: The Bills are pretty close to being at cap compliance

280
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: or slightly over slightly under, depending on what salary cap

281
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: site you go to. I do think there is more

282
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: work to be done here if the Bills are going

283
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: to continue to conduct business on the free agent market.

284
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: So I don't think.

285
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: They're out of the woods yet, but this is certainly

286
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: the biggest example of cap savings they had in a

287
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: single player doing it with Josh Allen's contract.

288
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: One of the sites we're looking at is, of course

289
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: spot Track. They've got the Bills at well, let's see,

290
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: they had the Bills right at like an eight hundred

291
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 4: thousand right.

292
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: Meanwhile over the cap has them one and a half

293
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: over right, And yeah, so there's some conflicting numbers out there.

294
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: And it is a moving target now with each player signed,

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: with each player released, whatever whatever, So that's something to

296
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: keep in mind here. It's going to be a moving

297
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: target for a little while here going forward.

298
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: But that's the thing too, that Josh still has a

299
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: cap hit. What did you say, twenty what was it?

300
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: It was twenty three and a half base, And it's

301
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: believed we don't know this, but it's believed that they

302
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: took sixteen point seven of that twenty three million dollar

303
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: base and put it into a bonus to spread it

304
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: out over the life.

305
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: Of the deal.

306
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. If the Bills wanted to, and we

307
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 4: all know this, if the Bills wanted to, they could

308
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: go all the way down to like, you know, two

309
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: million dollars of the cap hit for Josh.

310
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: Right, But at the same time, you don't want to

311
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: push too much into exactly.

312
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: So they're giving him thirty million on the cap this year,

313
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: which is a lower percentage than you might think for

314
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: some quarterbacks. But next year it balloons because of all this,

315
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: and they're gonna have to do this again big time.

316
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: So but just to be sure they got as much

317
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: as they wanted there, so you can tell what I'm saying,

318
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: I guess is the writing's on the wall. This is

319
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: part of their plan, and they didn't go like all

320
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: the way down to zero with Josh, they got plenty

321
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: of meat on that bone, like he's they want him

322
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: to take.

323
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: Some of the cap because they got it right if

324
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: they don't want to kick the entire can down the road.

325
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: They tried to exactly take on this year what they

326
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: could while still being able to conduct business.

327
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got the it's like a light switch with

328
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: a dimmer switch. They're just turning it up a little

329
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: as much as they want. And what they're gonna need

330
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: to get through this, Uh, they've got They're gonna have

331
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 4: enough to do their rookie Well.

332
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 2: They're projector to daybeas White maneuver in June. Reportedly is

333
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: going to save them ten million come June.

334
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: Second.

335
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: They can use that to sign their draft choices or

336
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: at least some of them, maybe not all of them.

337
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: If they keep all that's.

338
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: All coming down the line as well.

339
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: The Bills also agree to terms with defensive end aj

340
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: Epenessa on a two year deal wortha reported twelve million dollars.

341
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: NFL Networks Mike Garifalo had that first late yesterday, So

342
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: two defensive linemen for the Bills back in the fold

343
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: to help fill a cavernous hole on the defensive line.

344
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: As we told you before this free agent negotiating window opened,

345
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: the Bills had eight free agents of their twelve defensive

346
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: linemen on the roster in twenty twenty three. They have

347
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: now signed two of those eight back to the roster.

348
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: We know Leonard Floyd has already signed out west with

349
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: San Francisco, so he is no longer an option to

350
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: bring back him. Quite frankly, I don't know that they

351
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: could have afforded him anyway, and that was kind of

352
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: widely anticipated. But the other defensive lineman right now still

353
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: out there, So you're talking about people like Tim Settle,

354
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: Shack laws In, Lynn Val Joseph who is thirty five

355
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: years old, may not come back anyway, Jordan phillips poona Ford.

356
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: So that's kind of your group that's still sitting out

357
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: there right now. They'll probably more be in the second

358
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: or third wave of free agency. And you know, aj

359
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: had put together a very good season last year. More

360
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: splash plays from him, as our MSG viewers are watching

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: his interception return for a touchdown in Week three against Washington,

362
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: but got his hands up, batted down a lot of passes,

363
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: had two interceptions on the season for passes he tipped himself,

364
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 2: and I think he had what six and a half

365
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: seven and a half sacks six and a half I

366
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: think six and a half sacks. So I think the

367
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: way the Bills look at him, I think they believe

368
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: he was kind of a late bloomer. And you could

369
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: argue that part of that is the Bill's fault. They

370
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: had him moving his weight up and down, lose twenty

371
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: pounds now put half of it back on. You know,

372
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: he didn't know kind of what he was supposed to

373
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: be at defensive end. Am I an edgesetter or am

374
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: I a pass rusher? I'm rotating in, I'm rotating out?

375
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: So I think there was And look, they're trying to

376
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: find a role for him. I understand they feel they

377
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: have an idea what's best for him, but it seemed

378
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: like it took the Bills as much time to figure

379
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: out what they need from him as AJ did in

380
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: terms of finding his game.

381
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: There's also a thought process. He talked to guys around

382
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: the league, coaches and scouts around the league, and they

383
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: still think and they still think that the COVID year

384
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 4: where the guys who came in the league were just

385
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: in the league during twenty twenty that was his draft year.

386
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 4: Are were hampered in their development in subsequent years because

387
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: they almost lost to you because no training camp, right,

388
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 4: there was no training camp. They were all spread out

389
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 4: and they were all practice. It was it was an

390
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: entirely weird set, So they kind of lost a year

391
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: of development that would have helped a lot of guys.

392
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: And AJ at paness and that crew is just the

393
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: guys now that are getting the end of their contracts.

394
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: And I think guys Brown is another example.

395
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: AJ and Spencer Brown and those guys are you know,

396
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: Tommy Doyle are guys that are you know that they're

397
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: looking at like they're just now getting to that third

398
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: you know, usually we say that third year is the

399
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: magic year. This you know, this their fourth year, and

400
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 4: it kind of seems like now they're finally getting there.

401
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: AJ seemed to have that vibe about his game this year.

402
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: I think they believe there's still some ceiling there, yeah,

403
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: for him to reach. He's twenty six. I think he's

404
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: twenty six years old, so you know, still got some

405
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: prime years left in him, and the Bills are going

406
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: to see what he's got here in twenty twenty four.

407
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: Got to get to the other news of the day

408
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: and the big news who happened just before we came

409
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: on the air. Baltimore Ravens are signing Derek Henry. It's

410
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: reportedly a two year deal worth sixteen million dollars and really, Steve,

411
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: when you think about it. Over this twenty five hours

412
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: that we've been into the negotiating window, the running backs

413
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: have been the story of the free agent negotiating window,

414
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: due in part to the fact that it's a crummy

415
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: running back class in the draft. So a lot of

416
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: these veteran running backs are getting paid here in free agency.

417
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley to the Eagles, Dereck Henry to the Ravens,

418
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs to the Packers, Aaron Jones to the Vikings.

419
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon traded to the Texans today. You may have

420
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: heard yesterday that he was getting released. Well, they turned

421
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: around and traded him before releasing him to the Texans.

422
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler to the Commanders, DeAndre Swift to the Bears,

423
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard to the Titans, Gus Edwards to the Chargers,

424
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: Zach Moss to the Bengals, Antonio Gibson to the Patriots.

425
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: I mean that is a laundry list.

426
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.

427
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 2: How often do you see that many running backs moving

428
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: on the first day of the negotiating window.

429
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: Never?

430
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: And maybe Barkley and Henry right.

431
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: Right, because there's such big names and they're established players.

432
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think when stuff like this happens,

433
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 4: it's because all that, and it rarely does in my opinion,

434
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 4: where most of the teams, if not all the teams

435
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: in the league see it the same way, like the

436
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: draft stinks. We got to get these guys and get

437
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 4: them now.

438
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: Especially if you don't have like a top tier quarterback,

439
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: right you need somebody to carry the mail. That's why

440
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: Minnesota yesterday they lose Kirk Cousins to Atlanta in free agency,

441
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: they spin around and scoop up Aaron Jones because they're like,

442
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: we gotta get somebody that can help the offense here

443
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 2: because we don't know what we're doing a quarterback yet,

444
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: right or we're likely drafting one's a veteran running back

445
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: that defenses have to respect. So don't gang up on

446
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: our rookie signal caller when he's in there.

447
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 4: And as Minnesota also is one of those teams that

448
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 4: let their guy go about a week ago released a

449
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: running back that had helped him. So I think Alexander Madison,

450
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think there is a little bit

451
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: of it that Listen, you got to have a guy,

452
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: but let's get let's get somebody, one of these guys

453
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 4: that's proven they can do it and is a has

454
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 4: some passable skills. Certainly, if you have a quarterback that

455
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: you need to protect, you know, all that stuff goes

456
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: into it. But I still think I do not think

457
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 4: this is a signal that the running back position is

458
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 4: coming back in importance. No, I just I think it's

459
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: I think it's a marketplace issue rather than rather than

460
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 4: a football.

461
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Is exception rather than the rule.

462
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: But it is interesting how active NFL clubs have been

463
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: in acquiring running backs. There are reports that the Patriots

464
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: have been pushing hard to sign free agent wide receiver

465
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: from Jacksonville, Calvin Ridley, but word is he prefers to

466
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: re sign with the Jaguars, surprise, surprise, So we'll see

467
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: how that shakes out. I can't imagine that he sees

468
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: the Patriots and their current quarterback contingent of Jacoby Brissett

469
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: and Bailey Zampi as more attractive than playing with Trevor Lawrence.

470
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: So I think if the money is.

471
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: Relatively equal, I would expect Ridley to go back to

472
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: Jacksonville for another season. Now, let's not forget the Jaguars

473
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 2: just signed Gabe Davison free agency to a thirty nine

474
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: million dollar.

475
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: Deal over three years.

476
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: So we'll see what money they have left to pay

477
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: at the receiver position, and if it's not enough, maybe

478
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: Ridley does go somewhere else.

479
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ridley's getting a lot of attention. He's going to

480
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: be one of the most one of the higher paid

481
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: wide outs on the market. And I get it. I

482
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: can see him.

483
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: Here's the really good round.

484
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: As a player. To me as a player, You're looking

485
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 4: at the Patriots going all right, they got a new

486
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: head coach, questions at quarterback, they got issues, they got

487
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: big issues facing them. They got a lot of question

488
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 4: marks in that franchise. You know, Belichick's gone to me,

489
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: I mean a Drod Mayo. I don't know, I don't know.

490
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: I know what I got in Jacksonville, and I know what.

491
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: And you always have this feeling like the team's gonna

492
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 4: fix some of its problems that have had the year before.

493
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 4: So I and I'm kind of with him. I think

494
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: Jacksonville will take a step forward this next year. But

495
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: so he's sitting there, Yeah, just give me a deal,

496
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: you know, just sign me please.

497
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: If it's the Patriots, it's gonna have to be for

498
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: a boatload of money. They're gonna have to overpay to

499
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: get people to come up there. I think, well, that's

500
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: the thing, is a player, you don't want to have

501
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: to make that decision. You want those teams to make

502
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: the decision for you. If you have two identical contracts,

503
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: you picked the one you want. But there's never gonna be.

504
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: They're never gonna be. In fact, Patriots are probably gonna

505
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: be significantly.

506
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 4: More because they got a ton of cash. So he

507
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: gotta think, I, am I gonna leave that money? Am

508
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: I gonna leave? And literally this say, am I gonna

509
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: leave a million dollars on the like over the course

510
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: of two year? Am I gonna leave a million dollars.

511
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: On the table?

512
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 4: Just so I can stay at my house?

513
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: And the Patriots have cap room so they can really

514
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: throw some money around if they want to. Late in

515
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: the day on Monday, the Giants sent a second and

516
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: fifth round pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for

517
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: top edge rusher Brian Burns, whom the Panthers had franchise tag.

518
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: Burns then was then signed by the Giants to a

519
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: five year, one hundred and forty one million dollar contract.

520
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: So Burns and Cavon Thibodeau on the edges with Dexter

521
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 2: Lawrence at defensive tackle for the Giants, that's a damn

522
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: goodof defensive line going forward for them. AFC East News

523
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: Dolphins have made some moves. They just signed Tampa Bay

524
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: free agent pass russer Shaq Barrett to a one year,

525
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: nine million dollar deal. They've got Jalen Phillips coming off

526
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: in Achilles. Bradley Chubb has an injury history, so that's

527
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: some depth for them there. Barrett did just have four

528
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: and a half sacks and sixteen games season, and he's

529
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: going to turn thirty two in November, so there is

530
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: some risk there. Miami also signed Titans free agent center

531
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Brewer to a three year deal, so they're trying

532
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: to shore up their offensive line to Ron Armstead is

533
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: supposed to be coming back next season.

534
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: That's the decision on ar.

535
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: I Thinkuy's been playing on one leg for like two

536
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: years now, but I guess he's going to try to

537
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 2: make it work. Meanwhile, the Jets got a better answer

538
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 2: at backup quarterback. They signed free agent veteran Tyrod Taylor

539
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 2: from across the street with the Giants to back up

540
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. Taylor turns thirty five later this year. They

541
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: also helped their offensive line. They signed Baltimore free agent

542
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: guard John Simpson to a two year deal. He was

543
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: a starter for the Ravens last year. And then they

544
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: beefed up their defensive line with free agent defensive tackle

545
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: Javon Kinlaw, who is reunited with his former DC Robert

546
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: Sala when they were together in San Francisco. And then

547
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: they just signed Lecky Foto, a free agent defensive tackle

548
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: who goes three hundred and thirty five pounds from the

549
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals. So defensive line more of a focus than

550
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: their offensive line so far, and that seems dubious to me.

551
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: And the Patriots signed a quarterback. They're bringing back a

552
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: signal caller they drafted in the third round in twenty sixteen,

553
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett, on a one year, eight million dollar contract.

554
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the nuts and bolts of the AFC, say.

555
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: What how about a study in survivorism. Jacoby Brissett.

556
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: I think he's played for like five or six teams.

557
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, he's he's becoming the Ryan Fitzpatrick of his generation.

558
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: He's just here's the thing about Jacoby, and I think

559
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: most people kind of know that's he is one of

560
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: the all times superhuman being. Just an awesome dude, great leadership,

561
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: happy guy, great locker room guy, good athletic skills. Never

562
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: really has never really taken it to the next level

563
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 4: as a quarterback, but certainly a guy who knows his

564
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: role and will maximize too. He more than serviceable. You'll

565
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 4: be able to win some games with him if you've

566
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: got a roster. And of course Alex van Pelt, now

567
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator of New England, worked with him in

568
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: Cleveland this past y year and liked him, and.

569
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: So it'll be.

570
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 4: And also when you got that dynamics, as we can

571
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: figure out, he knows the offense, Alex van Pelt's gonna

572
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 4: install in New England already, so he can come in

573
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: and whatever quarterback is going to take snaps, if it's

574
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: not Jacoby himself, Jacoby's gonna be able to help the

575
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: guy assimilate that information and play better.

576
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: Biggest deal of the day so far today goes to

577
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. Atlanta signs wide receiver Darnell Mooney away

578
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: from the Bears three years thirty nine million, almost identical

579
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: to the Gabe Davis deel yesterday. And then a couple

580
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: of former Bills. Devin Singletary signed with the Giants yesterday

581
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: three years, sixteen million. Nice deal for him, rejoins Brian Dable.

582
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: Knows that offense, so that makes sense. And then Nahim

583
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: Hines signing a one year deal with Cleveland for three

584
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: and a half million dollars. Obviously, Hines, the victim of

585
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: a bad jet ski accident that was in his fall,

586
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: tore his ACL in the accident last summer, missed all

587
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: of last season for the Bills, and with a cap

588
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: figure that was cost prohibitive, he was a cap casualty

589
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: of the Bills last week on Wednesday when they released

590
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: five players. Last note here in the world of compensatory picks,

591
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: apparently the NFL can make amendments. A lot of Bills

592
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: fans were up in arms. I was two when the

593
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: Bills were only awarded a fourth round compensatory for the

594
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: loss of Tremaine Edmunds in free agency, the NFL announced

595
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: today they're making a correction with this year's compensatory picks.

596
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals are going to get an extra third

597
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: round pick instead of the first of two sixth rounders

598
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: that they received. Initially, Cincinnati lost both starting safeties Jesse

599
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: Bates Von Bell, and they also lost a couple other players,

600
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: so they had a net loss of free agents of

601
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: minus two and they were initially awarded just two sixes.

602
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: They changed that give them a six and a three.

603
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: I'd love for somebody to lobby them to change Buffalo's

604
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: four two a three, But stranger things have happened. I

605
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: didn't know you could amend those, and here they go,

606
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: like the leagues are bad, we'll fix this one.

607
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: Well, fix this one too. Make the Bills forth a

608
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: third please?

609
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: Or how about getting it right? The first time, Tremaine.

610
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: Edmonds contract was bigger than Jesse Bates, So yeah, I

611
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: don't know. So it's just something to think about. Take

612
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: it under consideration.

613
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: Please.

614
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion for you today before we get to

615
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: break here, what's your next move for the Bills in

616
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: free agency? Doesn't necessarily need to be a signing. Maybe

617
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: it's a contract extension for somebody on the roster. Maybe

618
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: you think trade is the way to go, knowing they're

619
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: tight against the cat. Maybe it's dollars out with a

620
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: player for dollars in. So BRGM for the day, what's

621
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: your next move for the Bills here in the free

622
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: agent negotiating period? Eight three five point fifty one eight

623
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number to

624
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: get on board. It can hit us up on the

625
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: tweet sheet at One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

626
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: here with you on day two of the free agent

627
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: negotiating period One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health Fit's

628
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's

629
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: Live here day two of the free agent negotiating window

630
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: before the league year officially starts tomorrow and contracts can

631
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: be signed officially. Keeping our nose to the grindstone on

632
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: details and signings coming down the pike. Biggest one today

633
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: is probably Derrick Henry, who signs with the Baltimore Ravens

634
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: on a two year, sixteen million dollar agreement, or he'll

635
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: sign tomorrow, I guess I.

636
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: Should say, but we are asking you.

637
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: You know, the Bills have made some moves here, tried

638
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: to plug a couple of holes on the defensive line,

639
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: agreeing to terms with Daikwon Jones and aj Epenessa, two

640
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: of their eight free agents along the defensive line. We

641
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: know that there are reports out there that they have

642
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: re signed Cam Lewis, and we also know that there

643
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: are some cap maneuvers that they've made to this point.

644
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 2: They extended Deon Dawkins, they had Josh Allen helped them

645
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: out with some cap stuff, and they resigned Taylor Rapp

646
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: early in this process as well, before they even got

647
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: to the free agent negotiating window late last week. So

648
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: with all of that in mind, we're asking you today, BGM,

649
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: for the day, what's your next move for the Bills

650
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: in free agency, Whether it's signing a player, maybe a

651
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: contract extension for somebody, maybe it's a trade dollars out

652
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: for dollars in. Knowing they're tight against the camp, you

653
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: let us know at eight zho three zero five to

654
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: fifty won eight eight eight five fifty two five to fifty.

655
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, Steve the thing I'm doing first, because

656
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: it's pretty evident they're tight on the cap right now

657
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: with some of these agreements that they've handed out to

658
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: Daikwon and aj would I would give a contract extension

659
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: to Taron Johnson. He's in the last year of his

660
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: deal right now, and he is I believe, Yeah, I

661
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: got it here. He is a twelve point four million

662
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: dollar cap figure for the Bills. If you sign him

663
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: to an extension, he's only twenty eight. Sign him to

664
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: an extension three years, whatever you want to do, you

665
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: can reduce that cap figure and help yourself again here,

666
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: this guy was second team All Pro last season. He's

667
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: in the prime of his career.

668
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: So and he's a dog.

669
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and not only that, I think he's one

670
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: of your veteran leaders on this defense now with Poyer

671
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 2: and hide out the door. So I would give Taron

672
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: Johnson a contract extension and reduce his cap figure to

673
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: give you some cap relief this year and go that route.

674
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: That would be my next move as a Bills GM.

675
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: His cap hits twelve million this year.

676
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, with all the.

677
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: Stuff he's got, he was in the last year of

678
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: his deal. He was in the last year of his deal,

679
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 4: so yeah, it might be it would probably be the

680
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 4: time to do it. Extend him if he's twenty, if

681
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 4: he's going to be twenty eight, extend him to his

682
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 4: thirty second year, thirty two year old him a.

683
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 3: Four year deal?

684
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: Why not?

685
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 3: Why not? I'm fine with that.

686
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: And you know you can you can manage the cap

687
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: inside that however you want. But just keep on keeping on.

688
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 7: That would give you the.

689
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: Is there something else that you would prefer to do

690
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 2: even before that?

691
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 4: No, I think that's I You can. You can extend

692
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 4: guys and it's nice and it helps, and I don't

693
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 4: know if I'd extend guys like Terran or or reworked

694
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 4: deals for the same money. Either way, you can manipulate

695
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 4: the cap. And for those people who are cap nerds,

696
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: you kind of get what I'm saying.

697
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this one because he's in the last year,

698
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: so you don't have to eat anything from this deal.

699
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: You just tear it up and start over, you know

700
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: what I mean.

701
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: Right, Whereas if you have somebody that's still got three

702
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: years left, now you got to move a lot of

703
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: that around, and you know there's some can kicking.

704
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 4: He would have it. If they cut him, he'd have

705
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: a dead cap of four point seven. So you gotta

706
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 4: that's gonna go on there.

707
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: But I still think there's you know, an extension almost

708
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: makes too much sense here. Like we were looking at

709
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: I remember when we were when we got to the

710
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: end of the season and we started looking at the

711
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 2: Bill's cap situation and contracts. We said, two players who

712
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense for contract extensions, Dion Dawkins

713
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: and Taron Johnson. So it wouldn't shock me at all

714
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: if Taron Johnson is a move to give themselves some

715
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: more cap room so they can conduct business, sign their

716
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: draft glass, et cetera, et cetera.

717
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: They can do the same thing, and it might be

718
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 4: smarter to do somebody like.

719
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: Like Milano, right, he goes on coming back from injury,

720
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 2: though I think makes that a little dicey.

721
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 3: Don't you.

722
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 4: Well, the only reason I do it now is because

723
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 4: his coming back you have, you have the leverage, you

724
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: know what I mean. I mean, he's and he's he

725
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: might be willing to take a little bit extra money now,

726
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 4: not knowing how it's going to go when he comes

727
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 4: back and all that.

728
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 3: That's not a bad point. Yeah, So.

729
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: You could do that as well and broach the subject

730
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 4: with him because and what this means for fans who

731
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 4: are kind of glaze over when we start talking about

732
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: these numbers, what they do is the player will always

733
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 4: be up for it, because we're not talking about giving

734
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 4: him a pay cut or anything like that. What it

735
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 4: is is bookkeeping. Whereas you give them the money now,

736
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: they put it in their pocket, or you give them

737
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 4: less money now, but you guarantee them more money in

738
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 4: the future than you're guaranteeing them now. So like if

739
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: you're on a three year deal and you're guaranteed to

740
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: see whatever ten million bucks, how about how about a

741
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 4: four year deal. You're not getting very much this year,

742
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 4: but over the life of the thing, we're gonna guarantee

743
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 4: that you're gonna get fifteen. Right, we guarantee you're gonna

744
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 4: get it, but it's not gonna be for another couple

745
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: of years. You have to wait on a little bit.

746
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: You take it, you take it, I get it.

747
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: We should mention before we get to the phones here.

748
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: Coming up in the second hour of the show, we

749
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: will have the aj Epanessa press conference. He will be

750
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: addressing the media via zoom. We will bring that to

751
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: you live here in the second hour of the show,

752
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: so be sure to stay tuned for that. But in

753
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: the meantime, we go to the phones and find out

754
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 2: what your next move for the Bills is. And we

755
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: lead off today with Bobby and cheek Towaga.

756
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? Bobby here on One

757
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 3: Bill's Live.

758
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 8: How do a guy's good afternoon afternoon?

759
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 9: Is branded?

760
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: Bed? Ever?

761
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 9: Gonna bring a big power running back for this offense?

762
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 9: Just look at all these moves you bettioned the last

763
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 9: couple of days, or as Josh Allen our power. I

764
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 9: I kind.

765
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: Of doubt it, Bobby. I think he would have big

766
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 4: money if the if the guy came up and he

767
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 4: popped up, you could draft him in the right spot

768
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: and all that. Yeah, he probably wouldn't hesitate to do it.

769
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: But he's not going to go out and look for

770
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 4: one and find him no matter what, because they just

771
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: not that important in the NFL anymore. You're not going

772
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: to make it a priority. It is a priority, word

773
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: is It's if you get a good running back, doesn't

774
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: matter if he's a big guy or a little guy.

775
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 4: You use a skill set in the offense.

776
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: I mean they had one in Latavius Murray last year.

777
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: His legs got a little tired as a thirty three

778
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: year old in the second half of the season. Would

779
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: you consider Ty Johnson a power back. I think I

780
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: was got some jews power back with some jews and

781
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: some receiving ability. I know they liked a lot of

782
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: what he did for them last year. I wouldn't be

783
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 2: surprised if he is on their radar to come back.

784
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 2: He might not be a traditional Derek Henry two hundred

785
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 2: and forty seven pound behemoth, but he's got some power.

786
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: He goes to fifteen.

787
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, there ain't no Jim There ain't no Jim Brown's

788
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 4: out there, and Derrick Henry's are once in a lifetime

789
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,959
Speaker 4: kind of once in a generation guys too, and even

790
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry. The Bills ain't gonna pay a guy eight

791
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 4: million bucks a year to play running back, right, just

792
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 4: for the for the reason you said they can do

793
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 4: without it. When push comes to shove, number seventeen will

794
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 4: push and shove, or they've got guys like Nahim Heines,

795
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: Ty Johnson and of course James Cook, so they'll yeah

796
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: for me. I get it. People want to running back

797
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 4: that they know when they hand it off, he's gonna

798
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 4: get two yard or whatever. Shorty okay, but there's just

799
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: too many times when that doesn't help. You need a

800
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 4: different guy.

801
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: There's a dime a dozen't if he's not going to

802
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: be your future guy either. James Cook's your future guy.

803
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 4: Me and I've said this a ton of brownie always

804
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 4: poo poo. Just stick Kyle Williams back there and hand

805
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: in the ball, right. Put Put David Edwards back there,

806
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 4: hand in the ball. Put put Dawson Knox back there,

807
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 4: hand in the ball. Put a big dude back put

808
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 4: day Kwon Jones back there, Give him the ball and

809
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 4: let him pound it in there for you know, six steps.

810
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: It ain't that hard. And I get it. You know

811
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: he's not, you know, not not going to run anybody out,

812
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 4: run anybody fifteen yards to the touch for a touchdown,

813
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 4: let alone, you know, seventy five yards. These guys all

814
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 4: play balls since they were kids. And most of these guys,

815
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 4: even the big dudes, carried the ball at some time

816
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 4: point in their career, whether it was their first game

817
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 4: as a pony league kid or whether it was in college.

818
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 4: Most of these guys have handled the ball at some

819
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 4: point in their career. And it's not rocket science. I

820
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 4: mean everybody's like, well, no, give him the ball and

821
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: let him pound it in there. Stop you. You didn't

822
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 4: have to outrun anybody. All you got to do is

823
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 4: get to the line of scrimmage and throw some weight.

824
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: It's like a political campaign for Steve.

825
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 3: Give it to the big fella.

826
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: Just give it to the fat guy, I would do.

827
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 2: We are up against the break here, but we've got

828

830
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: Bills here in this free agent negotiating period? Could be

831
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: a player, a position you have in mind, could be

832
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: some cap clearing move that you think is necessary here,

833
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: whatever is on your mind, tell us what your next

834

00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: what is your next move for the Bills in the

846
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: wake of some of the things that they've done so far,

847

Speaker 2: in Tanawanda next.

851
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 3: What's up Marvin?

852
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 10: All, good afternoon, guys. I appreciate you taking the call. Sure,

853
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 10: you guys are gonna and you know, Steve, you use

854
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 10: pooh pooh sale got that from me, so you could

855
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 10: use You could use my phrase that I got in

856
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 10: a conversation with Seal before. But what I would do

857
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 10: when you guys are not going to like it, I

858
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 10: would uh get rid of Milano. I love Milano, great

859
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 10: player coming off an injury. I think it's it would

860
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 10: be the bestness of the Bills if they could unload Malone.

861
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 10: And I love the player, great player, but he's thirty

862
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 10: years old coming off a big injury, and I think

863
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 10: that would be a smart move.

864
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me quickly, Marvin, why you think there

865
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 2: would be another team that would be interested in taking

866
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: what you You kind of Deem as a declining question

867
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 2: mark of a health prospect off your hands for you.

868
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 10: Well, I don't think he's declining. I think that I

869
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 10: think coming off injury and being thirty years old, I mean,

870
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 10: you have how many linebackers are out there in their

871
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 10: thirties that are being really productive. So I really believe

872
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 10: that there is value to him. He's a great player.

873
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 3: Well he's gone.

874
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: I'll say this, he's only twenty eight.

875
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 10: No, he's thirty, twenty nine, He's gonna be thirty by

876
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 10: I checked all this out.

877
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 7: Nice.

878
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 4: The one I'm looking at right now says he's twenty eight.

879
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 4: Uh turn it, yeah, okay, well whatever, yeah, okay, So.

880
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 10: He's going to be thirty. So he's thirty and there's

881
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 10: not too many linebackers at thirty. Like and I said,

882
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 10: he's a great player. I would hate to do it

883
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 10: but for money, and you know, the youth moment, Kansas

884
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 10: City did the best thing. I mean, they show with

885
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 10: Tyreek Hill what they could do as far as get

886
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 10: rid of a great player.

887
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: And still I just think it's going to be tough Marvin,

888
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: knowing his injury situation. I mean, Brandon Bean told us

889
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: at the combine he's not going to be even on

890
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: the field until the pads are back on.

891
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 3: That means training camp.

892
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be very hard to move a

893
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: player with an injury situation like that if he can't

894
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: even pass a physical. That's the fly in the ointment here.

895
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: I respect where you're coming from. It's an idea for sure.

896
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: I just think you've got a major roadblock in your

897
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 2: way in the form.

898
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 3: Of the injury.

899
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 2: I think that kind of compromises your whole idea. Other

900
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: gms are are not going to take Matt Milano if

901
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: they don't know if he can be the old Matt Milano,

902
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: if that makes any sense. So because of that question mark,

903
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: I think that's an uphill climb. And just for the record,

904
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: he is twenty nine and two hundred and twenty eight

905
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: days old. He will he will turn thirty this season.

906
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 4: July twenty eighth, he turns thirty. Yeah, so yeah, yeah,

907
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 4: I'm not getting rid of Mat Milano.

908
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: I get you not to mention the fact you're creating

909
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: a hole at a place where you already have a

910
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: couple of free agents, Tyler Mattikaevich, Tyrel Dodson. We know

911
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: AJ Klein's not coming back. He was essentially retired. But

912
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: you basically have Milano, Dorian Williams, Bayle, inspector Terrell Bernard.

913
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: That's all you have at the linebacker spot right now.

914
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: To create another hole, I don't know.

915
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna find, you know, right his dead cap hit

916
00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: would be his dead cap is twenty nine million getting

917
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 4: rid of him.

918
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you urse him back to health.

919
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: But even if you trade him.

920
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 3: Still be a sizeable hit.

921
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're still gonna get whacked with the salary.

922
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 3: Cat, which you can't really do right now.

923
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go back to the phones and we go

924
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: to Butch in East Buffalo.

925
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? Butcher? We're up against

926
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: the break, just so you know, real.

927
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 8: Quick, all right, real fast, I'm gonna get right into it.

928
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 4: Uh.

929
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 8: First of all, I want to say congratulations to Brandon Bean.

930
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 8: Just seven days ago we were weigh we have about

931
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 8: fifty one million dollars above the cat and him to

932
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 8: go ahead and trimming down like he was cutting grass

933
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 8: to where we are right now, whereas lease is respectable.

934
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 8: People can look at your house now is good. But

935
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 8: I just wanted to say this now real fast. Is

936
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 8: dy Kawhan Jones, you got your bag. Keon Dalkers, you

937
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 8: got your bag. Now you two guys have to get

938
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 8: in the weight room and start getting start getting bigger,

939
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 8: shout to start getting shape. He then gave you your money.

940
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 8: Get in shape for the team. Now moving putting past that,

941
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 8: moving forward for this upcoming draft real fast by Sean

942
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 8: mc derry, be one on the committee. I had I

943
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 8: have a feeling that Brandon being new when when the

944
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 8: picks was coming out, you weren't gonna get a thirties.

945
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 8: We get a fourth based off the movement that he

946
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 8: was making moves prior to that. Don't be surprised with

947
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 8: the twentieth selection by I was not having a third

948
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 8: round pick. And I've been saying this to you guys

949
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 8: earlier that we might move back. I really be looking

950
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 8: after this Brian Burne situation over in Carolina when they

951
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 8: traded him to the New York Giants with with Sean,

952
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 8: I mean, with Bayball and those guys, and they got

953
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 8: an extra extra two and extra five. I wouldn't be

954
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 8: surprised that Buffalo moved back out of the first round,

955
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 8: first picked his second round with Carolina and pick up

956
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 8: them number two twos in one of the five and

957
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 8: we call it a day. I'm just something to look at.

958
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 8: I still believe that we're going to get a center.

959
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 8: I still say JP JP J might be our guy,

960
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 8: but at the same time, I really believe it. I'm

961
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 8: gonna let you guys go, and thank you so much

962
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 8: for taking my call. Is that I really believe this

963
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 8: money that we were speaking about making as being general

964
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 8: manager for a day is I think he got three

965
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,479
Speaker 8: moves left. The one that if the debits at tackle

966
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 8: for Jacksonville, he already became a visitor already. I really

967
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 8: believe he's looking at a wide receiver. And then the

968
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 8: last but not least, the cut that I'm gonna make

969
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 8: to add along with that money is get rid of Martin,

970
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 8: Sam Martin. Before the day's I was just say that

971
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 8: two point five million dollars plus if I have to,

972
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 8: I'll look at I'll look at Ed Oliver for another extension.

973
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 8: But thank you so much for taking my call. I

974
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 8: love MSG, I love WG, I love all the fans,

975
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 8: and you guys definitely know. I love you guys there

976
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 8: at the studio, But just something to think about, appreciate you.

977
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: Thanks.

978
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a lot baked in there. I will

979
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: say that, uh, I don't see Oliver as a candidate

980
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: because they just sign up to an extension last year,

981
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 2: So you're pretty early on in that one. Not saying

982
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: you couldn't, but I just think it's unlikely. Sam Martin, Yeah,

983
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people are speculating with the signing of

984
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: Matt Hawk. Does that mean you know that Sam Martin

985
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: shouldn't be buying any green bananas.

986
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 3: I don't know. We got to find out.

987
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: I think his cap savings is only about eight hundred

988
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, though I don't think it's his full salary

989
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: because he's got another year after this one, so I'll

990
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: double check that for you, Butch, but I don't think

991
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 2: it's the full two point five left on the deal.

992
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 2: But yeah, they've got some more maneuvering to do because

993
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: they're still right near the cap here if they want

994
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: to do more business either in free agency. They know

995
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: they got ten million down the line from the Trudavious

996
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: anticipated release in June to help sign their draft class.

997
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, work still to be done.

998
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but when we come back,

999

00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 11: did you want to continue your career with the Bills?

1013
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 12: You know, personally, I feel like we just left a

1014
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 12: lot of meat on the bone. There's a lot of

1015
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 12: success out there to be had, and it's hard to

1016
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 12: leave such a great organization, you know, they do a

1017
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 12: lot of things right up there in Buffalo, and having

1018
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 12: a great quarterback under center like seventeen, it's hard to leave.

1019
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 12: And there's just there's just a lot of great people

1020
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 12: around there that I've built a lot of good connections with.

1021
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 13: So I'm really looking forward to being back.

1022
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 11: The Bills have a new defensive coordinator now and Bobby Babbage.

1023
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 11: I know he's a familiar face among the defense. So

1024
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 11: why is Bobby the right guy to be at that

1025
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 11: defensive coordinator spot.

1026
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's as you guys probably won't know, Bobby's our

1027
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 12: energy guy. You know, he brings the juice every day.

1028
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 12: He starts the mornings off juiced up, you know. So

1029
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 12: he really brings the energy every day. And he's a

1030
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 12: guy we all love, all care about, and he has

1031
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 12: a lot of passion for us as players in this

1032
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 12: h this organization, Buffalo Bills. So with that love and passion,

1033
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 12: with his intensity and with his attention to detail, you know,

1034
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 12: we'll have a lot of success under him.

1035
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 11: And then you guys also have a new defensive line

1036
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 11: coach and Marcus West. What does he bring to the table?

1037
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 10: Uh?

1038
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 13: Coach West?

1039
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 12: You know, he's going to give us the ability to

1040
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 12: get out there and rush for ourselves, let us have

1041
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 12: our personality when we get out there and play, and

1042
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 12: just really let us be us. You know, he's gonna

1043
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 12: kind of let the dogs out, let us, let us

1044
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 12: be free a little bit, and just let us get

1045
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 12: after last one.

1046
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 11: For me, aj you guys. You yourself had a career

1047
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 11: season last year. What's next for this defensive line group

1048
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 11: as a whole. You bring back some familiar faces like

1049
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 11: yourself and Daikwon Jones, you got von Miller and at

1050
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 11: Oliver in the fold. What's next for this group?

1051
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1052
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 12: You know, I mean, this guy's the limit and beyond.

1053
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 12: You know, we've done some great things as a defensive

1054
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 12: line and as a defense. But I mean we're trending

1055
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 12: upwards as a defensive line to all of us players

1056
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 12: individually and as a unit, and I can just see

1057
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 12: us continuing that and just keep making those strides awesome.

1058
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,719

Speaker 13: Yeah, you know it was.

1064
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 12: It was definitely weird going into it free agency. You

00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 12: know a lot of things are in the dark.

1066
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,400

Speaker 14: You mentioned some of the reasons why you wanted to

1075
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,640

1076
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 14: to also want you to come back here?

1077
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 13: You know, it means a lot.

1078
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,720
Speaker 12: And like I've said before, Buffalo's a team that drafted

1079
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 12: me to took a chance on me, wanted to come

1080
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 12: into the league, and they believed in me from the

1081
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,759

Speaker 15: how it was going to go. This is the first

1087
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 15: time you've dealt with that.

1088
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 13: What was it?

1089
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 15: How did you kind of process the last month and

1090
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 15: a half or so, like to not think about it

1091
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 15: too much, or how did you kind of approach it?

1092
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, during the season, you know, I kind of just

1093
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 12: try to put it on the back burner. But now

1094
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 12: the off season had started, you know, I started trying

1095
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 12: to think forward, what's in my future for me and

1096
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 12: my family. I'm in for my career, uh personally, and

1097
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 12: so since a lot of it was in the dark,

1098
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 12: you know, I just definitely, I definitely had a lot

1099
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 12: of unknowns, a little anxieties and angst about me, you know,

1100
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 12: just looking forward to really about what my next step

1101
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 12: would be or where my next home would be. And

1102
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 12: I'm just I'm very happy that it's in Buffalo and

1103
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 12: being able to be around people that I know and

1104
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 12: love and I care about it. It'll mean a lot to

1105
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 12: play the game there.

1106
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 15: Still, when you hear like a guy like Day one's

1107
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 15: also coming back and you guys are like announced right

1108
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 15: around the same time, is did you talk to him

1109
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 15: at all? Like how cool is that you're both coming back?

1110
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1111
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 12: No, we were in pretty constant communication throughout this process.

1112
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 12: A lot a lot for me calling him just on

1113
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 12: veteran leadership, just kind of get his opinion on some

1114
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 12: advice and just how to think things over and how

1115
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 12: to process things mentally. And it's great having a guy

1116
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 12: like kwanback just because of his on field and off

1117
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 12: field leadership and just his friendship overall as well.

1118
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 15: And then one last thing for me. We talked a

1119
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 15: lot about last year, like the confidence you had and

1120
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 15: like taking that step forward as you're going into this

1121
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 15: next season. Is there anything you're like, Wow, I really

1122
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 15: want to build upon this last season, like specific things

1123
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 15: that you're looking to kind of now that you're not

1124
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 15: even be with the same defense, back with the same

1125
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 15: coaches like most of them, Like, how are you kind

1126
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 15: of approaching the next step now?

1127
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1128
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 12: I would say my goals for sure this year is

1129
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 12: I want to earn a starting spot on the defensive

1130
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 12: line and continue progressing my game with stats, you know,

1131
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 12: whether that be more sacks, more snaps, and just overall production.

1132
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 12: So I'm ready for more and I'm looking forward to

1133
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 12: taking on more responsibility.

1134
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 15: Awesome, congrats again, Yeah.

1135
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1136
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 7: Hey j How are you man? Good?

1137
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 13: How are you doing, brother?

1138
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 7: I'm good. Congratulations on the deal. First of all, apologize,

1139
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 7: but I'm driving here.

1140
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 16: Take me into last season a little bit, because you know,

1141
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 16: you had some moments that were were so big, big

1142
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 16: time plays and big games, but it never seemed like it.

1143
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 7: Fully fully clicked for you.

1144
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 16: Did you get that feeling at the end of the

1145
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 16: season or just take me through the whole season how

1146
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 16: it went for you.

1147
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean through every NFL season, there's ebbs and flows,

1148
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 12: there's highs and lows, And I agree with you. I

1149
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 12: think throughout the season, all the way up into the

1150
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 12: Kansas City, I had a really good groove going. I

1151
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 12: was beaming with confidence, playing some really good football. And

1152
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 12: then I was out for a couple of weeks too

1153
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 12: in my rib And not that I think that knocked

1154
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 12: me out of a rhythm or anything, but coming back

1155
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 12: from that, it kind of took a little longer than

1156
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 12: I had anticipated, just with the injury itself coming back,

1157
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 12: But I think the big thing for me is just

1158
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 12: keeping that confidence, keeping that swagger throughout the whole season.

1159
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 12: Maybe a little bit of a lull at the end there,

1160
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 12: I think, kind of just with that little hiccup throughout

1161
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 12: the season.

1162
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 13: By my rhythm.

1163
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 12: But one thing I think is just keeping that consistency

1164
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 12: and keeping it through the seventeen weeks and beyond.

1165
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 16: And then if you look at the room that you're

1166
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 16: coming back to now with Leonard in San Francisco, you

1167
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 16: kind of alluded to it there a little bit, but

1168
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 16: do you feel like there's huge opportunity for you and

1169
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 16: this defense, and that was that part of the conversations

1170
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 16: for you to take another step with maybe a larger

1171
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 16: role waiting for you.

1172
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think during these past four years, I've I've

1173
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 12: made my transition, grown a lot as a football player

1174
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 12: and as a man, I matured, and I think this season,

1175
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 12: I think personally I'm ready for some more. And you know,

1176
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 12: it's always got to be proven. It's always got to

1177
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 12: go out there and take it mentality. So that's the

1178
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,919
Speaker 12: mentality I'm taking going forward, and that's how I'm.

1179
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 13: Gonna be work.

1180
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 16: And you also already talked about this a little bit,

1181
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 16: but you know, the free agency period, I remember talking

1182
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 16: to you back.

1183
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 7: In December early early on.

1184
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 16: You know, just the unknown of going into this final

1185
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 16: stretch not knowing where you might be playing next season.

1186
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 16: Was that weighed on you at all, Like the last

1187
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 16: couple of weeks and months here after the season, just

1188
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 16: the uncertainty of it all.

1189
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 13: I mean definitely the anxiety part.

1190
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 12: You know, it definitely gets me thinking of just the

1191
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 12: unknown is gets you moving a little bit.

1192
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 13: But I did.

1193
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 12: I think I did a good job of just kind

1194
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 12: of being open minded, putting a lot of faith and

1195
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 12: trust in my agent and him doing what he does

1196
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 12: and having that constant communication, you know, so that we're

1197
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 12: being very honest with each other to open about what

1198
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 12: expectations and what things are real when it comes to

1199
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 12: contract negotiations and things like that.

1200
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 7: And last one for me, what was yesterday like? Was it?

1201
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 7: What was the market? What you hoped for?

1202
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 16: Was it a situation where the bill just came in

1203
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 16: and let them let you know how much they wanted

1204
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 16: you back?

1205
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 7: What was that final process? Like?

1206
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 13: Sorry, it was an interesting process.

1207
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 6: You know.

1208
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 12: It's some obviously I've never experienced before and something that

1209
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 12: definitely made me have to think about, Uh, just make

1210
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 12: hard decisions and make uh decisions on a kind of

1211
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 12: a short notice. But whenever Buffalo came in with the

1212
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 12: offer and be in here for the past four years,

1213
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 12: knowing that they have something so special, it was easy

1214
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 12: to try to make that decision and just want to

1215
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 12: come back here.

1216
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 7: Was a hard decision. Maybe more money elsewhere?

1217
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, was the hard decision like, maybe more money

1218
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 16: elsewhere for a better situation fit in Buffalo?

1219
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 12: Uh No, I wouldn't say. No, it wasn't anything significantly different.

1220
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 12: It was really just I think, so I'll have a

1221
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 12: shorter deal, I think, and it'll give me an opportunity

1222
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 12: to still be younger, still be able to possibly sign

1223
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 12: another contract, hopefully before the age of thirty, if I able,

1224
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 12: if I'm able to you know, play the way I

1225
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 12: want to play and have the success that I think

1226
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 12: I'm able to have.

1227
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 7: Thanks so much, AJ, congrats again.

1228
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,320

1233
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 18: a year ago, you know, but you know, you you

01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 17: Was there a team out there.

1240
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 18: That made it you know a little bit of tempting

1241
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 18: for you to to think about leaving, uh huh.

1242
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 12: You know, honestly, I would say it definitely was a

1243
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 12: little tempting, and mostly because I just maybe just kind

1244
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 12: of just switch up, you know, and my mentality. You know,

1245
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 12: the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I

1246
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 12: know what we have that's so good here in Buffalo,

1247
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 12: and I know that what we have is so successful,

1248
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 12: and we have a really good recipe for success here,

1249
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 12: and we have a lot of good people that can

1250
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 12: back me here and that really believe in me. And

1251
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 12: so it was kind of a really easy decision to

1252
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, it was easy to

1253
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 12: make this decision to want to come back here be

1254
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 12: something that I've been a part of and something that

1255
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 12: I think we can continue to leave a legacy.

1256
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 18: Or absolutely, I mean, you know, you already had these conversations,

1257
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 18: we had that back in training camp that I pretty

1258
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 18: much knew that. You know that it was bill as

1259
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 18: a bus for you. You were just waiting to hear

1260
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 18: you know, you know, from them basically when it came

1261
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 18: down to it. It didn't happen earlier, But now you

1262
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 18: got it now. Just we're that confidence now as far

1263
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 18: as knowing that you're going to be here for two

1264
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 18: years and understand and what you put your body through

1265
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 18: the past the first four years, right, So where's that

1266
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 18: confidence at with your body?

1267
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 6: And overall?

1268
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I think my confidence at all time high.

1269
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 12: You know, I'm feeling good. I'm still young. I feel

1270
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 12: I'm feeling fresh. I'm back in the gym right now

1271
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 12: down here in Sunshine, Florida, So I think my confidence

1272
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 12: is beaming right now. I'm enjoying the weight room, enjoying

1273
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 12: the training, and now that all this is kind of

1274
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 12: backing behind me a little bit, you can kind of

1275
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 12: rest a little bit and just kind of your nerves

1276
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 12: can can take a little ease off and just kind

1277
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 12: of focus on the work and get ready to get back.

1278
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 17: Now you're dealing with a new defensive line coach and

1279
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 17: Mark West. Has he reached out to you or.

1280
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 18: Is the plan still the same plan that Washington and

1281
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 18: starred or a little bit different going forward with him?

1282
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 6: Uh?

1283
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, as far as game plan, I'm not one hundred

1284
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 12: percent sure if anything really will be changing.

1285
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 13: I've worked with coach West the past years, have a

1286
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 13: lot of.

1287
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 12: Love for him, a lot of trust in him on

1288
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 12: a lot of faith in what he does because you know,

1289
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 12: you get to see him work every day, see his

1290
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 12: passion for for what he does, and it gives you

1291
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 12: confidence in him as a coach, you know, to to

1292
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 12: give us the information we need to have to succeed,

1293
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 12: you know, So watching him work these past couple of

1294
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 12: years has been fun. And then now he's going to

1295
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 12: be heading the room. Super happy for him and we're

1296
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 12: blessed to have him.

1297
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 18: Yeah, man, I thought we was gonna lose you to

Speaker 13: You're doing great there?

1307
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 19: Look like in Florida, more money and everything in the

1308
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 19: whole nine yards.

1309
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 13: How would you sum.

1310
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 7: Up the four years of of what the Bills seemed like?

1311
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 19: You did everything the Bills asked you to do, You

1312
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 19: went up and down and and do you feel this

1313
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 19: past season you were playing at the ideal weight for

1314
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 19: your body.

1315
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 13: This past season?

1316
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I think this year, this past year,

1317
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 12: I had the most consistency with my body weight, something

1318
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 12: that took me some time to kind of get under control.

1319
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 12: And now that I've had some experience under my belt,

1320
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 12: it was definitely the most consistent season for that and

1321
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 12: the easiest to handle. So it's definitely still a challenge

1322
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 12: and things that I'm still working through. But they're just

1323
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 12: constant discipline with with certain things and it kind of

1324
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 12: helps me keep it.

1325
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 19: On, yes, cause you strike me more as alignment, but

1326
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 19: you still you're doing great as in that linebacker position.

1327
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

1328
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 13: But what was it? I wasn't working with.

1329
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 19: Leonond Floyd and some of those veterans guys, especially Lennon

1330
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 19: Floyd last year because he brought your name up a

1331
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 19: lot during the season as a guy that that he

1332
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 19: worked in a technique on your technique in the whole

1333
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 19: nine yards, and that he said you got a very

1334
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 19: promising future.

1335
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, working with someone like Flow was, you know, kind

1336
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 12: of a blessing in disguise. When we signed him last year.

1337
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 12: We were excited to have him, and when he came in,

1338
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 12: he made an immediate impact, you know, when it was

1339
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 12: on the field, off the field, when it came to

1340
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 12: just him giving us advice about his rush and you

1341
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 12: could tell when Flow started to open up to us

1342
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 12: as a as a group, as friends. Uh, he started

1343
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 12: just really getting into details. You can tell his passion

1344
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 12: he had for rushing the past or playing the game

1345
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 12: of football.

1346
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 13: So he's a lot of fun to be around. As

1347
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 13: a person.

1348
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 12: He's a great football player, great person, but he definitely

1349
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 12: helps elevate your game because he's just so great at

1350
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 12: so many things and he pushes you to do better.

1351
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 13: Absolutely.

1352
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 19: And last, but that last question for you, what are

1353
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 19: your your goos? He mentioned you in the weight room

1354
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 19: and everything now in the whole nine yards. How does

1355
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 19: that go to get yourself ready for the next season,

1356
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 19: for the upcoming season?

1357
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, we we hit the weight room pretty hard

1358
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 13: down here in Florida.

1359
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

1360
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 12: My routine is usually I get I usually get in

1361
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 12: there pretty heavy during OTAs, try to get some of

1362
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 12: this weight back on, get up to OTAs, and then

1363
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 12: manage that weight, try to get back used to being heavier,

1364
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 12: and then just kind of carry it through the season.

1365
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 12: So that's what part of the part I'm in right

1366
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 12: now is kind of that bulking phase, get that weight

1367
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 12: back on.

1368
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,600

Speaker 5: That's all the questions for today.

1393
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 11: Thanks AJ, and congratulations.

1394
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 2: Yep, thank you all right, that's aj Epanessa. He of

1395
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 2: the new two year deal to stay and remain a Buffalo,

1396
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Bill said it was an easy decision for him with

1397
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 2: all the success in the way they run the operation

1398
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 2: here on a daily basis, the support he feels he

1399
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 2: has around him when he is a player in this uniform,

1400
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 2: so he said it was an easy decision for him.

1401
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 2: Also said that the two year shorter contract was attracted

1402
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 2: to him as well as a twenty six year old.

1403
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 2: Two years he's back in free agency again before age

1404
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 2: thirty and has a chance for another contract, so that

1405
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 2: obviously an attractive part of the deal as well.

1406
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the fun though.

1407
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: At eight oh three h five fifty one eighty eight

1408
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on

1409
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 2: board as we are asking you to be Bill's GM

1410
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 2: for the day.

1411
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 3: What would be your next move?

1412
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 2: You've seen some of the things that the Bills have

1413
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: done already in free agency in terms of cap clearing maneuvers.

1414
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 3: What would you do next?

1415
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the phones where we do have

1416
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 2: open lines and to Tom on the west side, who's

1417
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 2: been waiting patiently. What's up Tom?

1418
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,719
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, hope you're having a great day.

1419
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 3: We're trying go ahead anyway.

1420
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 6: If I was GM for the day, I'd be looking

1421
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 6: to pick one thirty four and one forty four and

1422
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 6: seeing if I could get back in the third round. Okay,

1423
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 6: we got robbed. We got robbed on that compick, So

1424
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 6: how far up can we move in the third round?

1425
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 6: Who would be our trade partner and would be a

1426
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 6: value picked to give up those two that are only

1427
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 6: twenty picks no Tom picks apart. Yeah, yeah, so it

1428
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 6: would it be a value moved to do that.

1429
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well that's the thing, Tom.

1430
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 2: I think what you might be doing with your thinking

1431
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 2: is a little bit of putting the cart before the horse.

1432
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 2: It's very hard to project what's still going to be

1433
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 2: sitting on the board in round three now, or even

1434
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 2: on day one of the draft. So it's hard to

1435
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 2: assess what the value of a third round pick would

1436
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 2: be until you see what's still on your board as

1437
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 2: round two is winding down. And I think if you're

1438
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 2: a GM in this league, you let the information provided

1439
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 2: by round one and round two and what comes off

1440
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 2: the board help you determine is it worth moving up

1441
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 2: into the third round to select somebody that you covet

1442
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 2: who is.

1443
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 3: Still out there.

1444
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 2: That, to me, is the crux of the decisions that

1445
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 2: get made on draft weekend. They rarely happen now to

1446
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 2: improve your value in the draft, unless you are acquiring

1447
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 2: a player and you're shipping a draft pick to somebody

1448
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 2: else who's trying to shed salary on their cap or

1449
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 2: something of that nature. If you're doing it strictly to

1450
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 2: improve the value of your choices in the draft. You're

1451
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 2: going to wait to see what's in the draft and

1452
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 2: on the board before you make that kind of a move.

1453
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 4: Right, And that's yeah exactly, you're not going to do

1454
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 4: it now. So but if you're if you're asked.

1455
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 2: Wait, we go to the Steve Tasker trade chart.

1456
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 4: Here, all right, here we go.

1457
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 2: If the Bills have one thirty four and one four, right,

1458
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 2: so one.

1459
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 4: Thirty four vue on this, charllet's issues this one one

1460
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 4: thirty four's thirty nine points. One forty four is thirty

1461
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 4: four points, so that's seventy three three That will move

1462
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 4: you up?

1463
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 3: Does that even get you out of the round?

1464
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 4: That'll move you up between one ten and one eleven.

1465
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: Doesn't get you into the third round, It doesn't get

1466
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 3: you up in it.

1467
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 4: That's a fourth rounder.

1468
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: The only they get higher in round for the four picks.

1469
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 4: The picks get exponentially less valuable the further down you go,

1470
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 4: and so you're just not going to be able to

1471
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 4: move up.

1472
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that far.

1473
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 4: That was the Jimmy Johnson value chart, which a lot

1474
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 4: of teams use.

1475
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's become a little outdated. There are some some

1476
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: newer ones that exist these days.

1477
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 4: This one one will get you, okay, that's Steves.

1478
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 2: Steve's doing live math, bear with us, and that will

1479
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 2: get you up to We need the Jeopardy music for

1480
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: final JEF.

1481
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 4: I won't get it, won't get you there, gets you

1482
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 4: up to. It'll only move you up into Yeah, it'll

1483
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 4: only move you up the same amount up to one

1484
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 4: oh eight, one oh nine, So you're gonna go. It's

1485
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 4: relatively the same top of the fourth round from two yeah,

1486
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 4: two picks in the fourth in the fourth, No, two

1487
01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 4: picks in the fifth.

1488
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I was looking, Oh, he was talking about the two

1489
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 2: fours and how high they could get you to the third.

1490
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 4: What numbers are the two fours? Ninety nine?

1491
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 3: And no they don't. I don't think they have ninety nine.

1492
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 3: It's one thirty four and one.

1493
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but those are in round five. That's that's what

1494
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 4: this says.

1495
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 2: I thought the compensatory was picked one thirty four, that

1496
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 2: they just.

1497
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 4: Just doesn't have compensatory.

1498
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 2: No, well there's there's the well just know it's pick

1499
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 2: one thirty four.

1500
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 4: Mm hmm one, all right, I'll keep the lunking.

1501
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 3: I think I think that's what they are. We can

1502
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 3: double check.

1503
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna I guess the end the end

1504
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 2: result is gonna be tough to move up.

1505
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 4: This is the one. Yeah, this is the one I

1506
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 4: usually use the one, this one.

1507
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: You keep crunching numbers. I'll go to Tom and cheek

1508
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 2: to Waga in the meantime. What's up Tom?

1509
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 20: Hey, how you guys doing this? You know, love your show.

1510
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 20: But what I wanted to ask about was, what are

1511
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 20: you guys thoughts on maybe the bills looking at at

1512
01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 20: Willie Gay from Kansas City? Uh, and my rit know

1513
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 20: I thought was maybe to take a peek at Joe Mixon,

1514
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 20: but I hear that he's going to be signing with Houston.

1515
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 20: So and what do you guys think about maybe, you know,

1516
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 20: look about looking to bring in boogie bashing back and

1517
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,520
Speaker 20: instead of trying to play him in, play him inside.

1518
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 20: I'll hang up and let you guys speak on that.

1519
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Tom, First and foremost Willie Gay athletic player,

1520
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: and who knows if he's going to be back with

1521
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. He could be looking for work elsewhere. Good

1522
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 2: size player, former second round pick and has been used

1523
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 2: as a spy on quarterbacks. To give you an idea

1524
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: on his athleticism. They just re signed Drew Trankwell in

1525
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City, a fellow linebacker who joined them from the

1526
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 2: Chargers last year, to a three year, nineteen million dollars deal.

1527
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 2: It's anticipated that he's going to start alongside Nick Bolton,

1528
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 2: their other inside linebacker. So if Willie Gay is looking

1529
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 2: for a starting opera unity, he might be looking elsewhere.

1530
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 2: I just don't know if the Bills can guarantee that

1531
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 2: for him here, and then the next question obviously becomes

1532
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 2: what kind of salary he's going to command. I'm of

1533
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 2: the belief that the Bills are going to try to

1534
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 2: scoop up a linebacker depth in the draft. They have Baile,

1535
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 2: Inspector Dorian Williams, and then Milano and Bernard as their

1536
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 2: starters and they don't add anybody else, which means they're

1537
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 2: gonna need help on special teams. So you're gonna usually

1538
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 2: that means a younger player too, and know when they're

1539
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,879
Speaker 2: tight on the cap, I just don't see them spending

1540
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 2: appreciable free agent money on a linebacker right now. They're

1541
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 2: still trying to fill defensive line holes. As for running back,

1542
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 2: I think it's the same situation. They're not swinging big

1543
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 2: on a running back. I know a lot of other

1544
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 2: teams are. The Bills are not because they have their

1545
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: feature back, it's James Cook. They need a number two

1546
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 2: and a number three, and to me, I think in

1547
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 2: an ideal world, they get Ty Johnson back for bargain

1548
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: money and maybe they draft a third. What we have

1549
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 2: to wrap our head around is that the Bills are

1550
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 2: going to be making a big youth movement with their

1551
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 2: roster this offseason because of the cap situation and because

1552
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 2: their roster got old and it's got to get younger.

1553
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 2: So let's not forget. I mean, it's a seventeen game

1554
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 2: season now, and the Bills have been a beat up

1555
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 2: bunch by the time they get to the postseason, and

1556
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 2: it's it's impacted their performance in the postseason.

1557
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it. They're gonna have to They

1558
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 4: will get some depth. But some of the guys you're

1559
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 4: talking about, and there will be some guys available, and

1560
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 4: Willie Game maybe one. We don't know he may be,

1561
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 4: but he's a young guy. But you can bet you

1562
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,440
Speaker 4: can just read the mind of Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott.

1563
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 4: They're banking on Milano coming back strong. And Bernard coming

1564
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,560
Speaker 4: back and playing picking up where he left off, and

1565
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 4: they're gonna be set at linebacker for the next handful

1566
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 4: of years. Uh. That doesn't mean those are the only

1567
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 4: two guys are gonna play, or that they don't need

1568
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 4: depth at those positions, but that's I mean, that's what

1569
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 4: they're looking at.

1570
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 6: Uh.

1571
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 4: They've certainly got a handle on how what the expectation

1572
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 4: should be for Milano coming back, and that this fuels

1573
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 4: that we don't know what those are now. Maybe they're

1574
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 4: getting told that Milano is an iffy proposition off of

1575
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 4: this type of injury. It's it's a weird it was

1576
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 4: a weird injury. But I would bet they have a

1577
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 4: handle on how what their expectation should be. So but

1578
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 4: right now, given the experience we have with injuries and all,

1579
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 4: you think this man Milana's coming back, he's going to

1580
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 4: play extremely well. So I don't know that they would

1581
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 4: put that doesn't mean Willie Gay has to be their

1582
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 4: top priority, but if he coomes available, now, no question,

1583
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 4: good players make you better. But that's kind of where

1584
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 4: I'm at. I don't think any they expect anybody to

1585
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 4: come in and play for Matt Milano or Bernard.

1586
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 2: Uh, we've got to take a break here. We'll take

1587
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls on the other side, Jeff

1588
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 2: and Buffalo will lead us off. Also, the biggest deal

1589
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 2: of the day, Darnell Mooney's three year, thirty nine million

1590
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 2: dollar contract has been eclipsed by the contract agreement between

1591
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 2: free agent linebacker Patrick Queen of the Ravens. He goes

1592
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 2: to the rival Steelers on a three year, forty one

1593
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 2: million dollar deal. Ooh, baby, gotta take a break here,

1594
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 2: but we're back with your phone calls. Next here on

1595
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by co Lout of Health, It's

1596
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, back here on One Bill's

1597
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Live on day two of the free agent negotiating period,

1598
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and want to get

1599
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 2: back to the phones where we've been asking you today.

1600
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 2: Your Bill's GM for today? What is your next move

1601
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 2: for Buffalo after some of the stuff that you've seen

1602
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 2: them do already? Eight h three oh five fifty to

1603
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 2: jump on board. We go to Jeff in Buffalo next.

1604
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 3: What's up? Jeff?

1605
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 5: Hey guys, Hey, uh, real quick, a little food for thought.

1606
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 5: When's the last time that Bill's had a useful third

1607
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 5: round pick anyway. But anyway, they just don't draft on.

1608
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 2: The third pretty good.

1609
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'll give you that, all right, got me there.

1610
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 5: But anyway, I'm want to point or just ask your

1611
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 5: opinion or make a point that as far as that

1612
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 5: Pinesca goes, you know, I always thought, you know, coming out, yeah,

1613
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 5: he was a little bit of a you know, a

1614
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 5: lightweight or whatever. But you know, if you looked at

1615
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 5: a measurables just as you know, and he was in

1616
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 5: a draft today, you say, wow, that guy and you

1617
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 5: just got all the measurables and stuff like that, and

1618
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 5: just being behind like uh, Floyd and Miller. I just

1619
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 5: hope that he gets some some more some some some

1620
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 5: more of them snaps, you know, maybe some of Floyd

1621
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 5: snaps or something to be able to prove because I

1622
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 5: really do believe, you know, watching him flash like that,

1623
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 5: I just think a little bit more time you'd see

1624
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 5: a little bit more consistency out of him. And as

1625
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 5: far as the Johnson thing goes, Terren Johnson, like we're

1626
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 5: with the the value of safeties nowadays or last couple

1627
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 5: of seasons, where do you where do you rent? He's

1628
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 5: not a safety? He's not a corner. He is a corner.

1629
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 5: I mean, where do you come up as a highbred

1630
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 5: type of number. It's just, you know, that's just one thing.

1631
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,719
Speaker 5: And as far as being a GM for a day,

1632
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 5: I gotta get me. I got to get me a safety.

1633
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 5: And that's sort of those fourth and fifth round picks.

1634
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 5: You know, you get a defensive tip, but you get

1635
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 5: a safety. Maybe you get somebody that's serviceable that you

1636
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 5: can plug in behind Oliver and Jones. So I mean,

1637
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 5: you know, those those are the things. I wouldn't give

1638
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 5: up anything for a third. I mean, I'd keep my

1639
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 5: picks and just let it roll. I mean unless somebody

1640
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 5: that's on the board that you targeted that you highly like,

1641
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 5: you could even throw in next year's pick. I mean,

1642
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 5: I'll give you a third next year and this and

1643
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 5: that and the other thing and make it happen if

1644
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 5: you want.

1645
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 9: So, okay, guys, Yeah, thanks, Jeff, I appreciate all that.

1646
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 3: Why didn't you talk about Epine.

1647
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 2: I think more opportunity could lead to more production for

1648
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 2: him at.

1649
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 4: Perhaps perhaps, Yeah, I success rate is a is a

1650
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 4: big stat and yeah, and they could all improve on that.

1651
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 4: Third rounders. I get what he's saying. I mean, let's

1652
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 4: let's take Brandon Bean's third rounders, and I went back

1653
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 4: and look, Harrison Phillips was one of them. He's still

1654
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 4: in the National Football League, Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary, Zack.

1655
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 3: Moss all still in the league.

1656
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 4: Spencer Brown, Terrell Bernard.

1657
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 3: It's pretty good running third.

1658
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 4: Dorian Williams not bad, not bad. That's that's tough on

1659
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 4: the Brandon Bean can't pick anybody that's.

1660
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 3: Two days in a row. We've gotten that now.

1661
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: I don't know where the where the merit is in

1662
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 2: that argument. I really don't. As far as tarn goes,

1663
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 2: He's a nickel corner, and I would imagine that if

1664
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 2: the Bills wanted to talk to his representation about a

1665
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 2: contract extension, that they would basically compare him with the

1666
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 2: other nickel corners in the league and try to come

1667
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 2: to a salary that way. I would presume that's what

1668
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 2: they did the last time when he signed a three

1669
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 2: year extension worth twenty four million dollars eight million dollars

1670
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:20,799
Speaker 2: a season. I mean, even now in terms of average

1671
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 2: annual salary, if he wants, he's still up there in

1672
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 2: the top ten.

1673
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 4: So let me tell you what it says about that

1674
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 4: guy's going to see every cent of that contract. That's rare.

1675
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 4: It's rare, not only second contract. That joker's going to

1676
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 4: probably get a third.

1677
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 2: Right, And I would say they should do it now

1678
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 2: to alleviate themselves and give themselves some more cap room

1679
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 2: and get her two ways you can do that. He's

1680
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: making eight per now, maybe you got to go up

1681
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 2: to nine, but you can structure it in a way

1682
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 2: to give yourself some cap relief now and maybe even

1683
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 2: next year if you do a four year deal for example,

1684
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 2: and he's age thirty two on the way out at

1685
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 2: the end of that deal. So there are ways that

1686
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 2: extensions can help create cap space for you, and I

1687
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: think they should do that.

1688
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do too, And I would give him a

1689
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,719
Speaker 4: bump and give him the next two years, just extending

1690
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 4: one year because then he'll be thirty. Landscape changes, you

1691
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 4: can redo it then.

1692
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 3: Right that.

1693
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 2: It just helps you bottom line, It helps you back

1694
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 2: to the phones and to Tim down in Charlotte.

1695
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 3: What do you got for Tim?

1696
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 21: Yeah, Hey, guys, if I'm playing Brandon being GM for

1697
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 21: the day or for the bills rather, I've got three

1698
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 21: moves that I kind of want to make before free

1699
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 21: agency gets wrapped up. The first one being is I

1700
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 21: do want to get I want to take a look

1701
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 21: at your tart from the Titans, young ascending player. Throw

1702
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 21: him in a rotation. I don't know what he would command,

1703
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 21: but he's, you know, twenty seven years old. Throw him

1704
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 21: into our rotation.

1705
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 10: And let him eat.

1706
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 21: Put him right next to Ed, and you know when

1707
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 21: day Kwan needs a rest. I like the player a lot.

1708
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 21: Got to bolster the safety room. You can take a

1709
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 21: look at Jeremy Chin or Cameron Curl. Cameron Curls a

1710
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 21: really young guy. I know Jeremy Chin a lot of

1711
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,679
Speaker 21: promise coming out, but he's been banged up a little

1712
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 21: bit from the Panthers. Again, this all depends on what

1713
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 21: they would actually command on a salary. But two young guys,

1714
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 21: you want to do a youth moment. But these guys

1715
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 21: have chops in the league and they're willing tacklers.

1716
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 13: I like them both.

1717
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 21: And then last year we got to take a look

1718
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 21: at a receiver. I'm all on the wide receiver train

1719
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 21: at twenty eight, but I definitely think we need one

1720
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 21: before free agency ends. A guy like kJ Osborne or

1721
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 21: something like that a little bit later and so that

1722
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 21: you know the second or third tier of free agency.

1723
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 21: I don't think you would cost that much. Maybe a

1724
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 21: one year deal, say hey, come catch passes from Josh

1725
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 21: Allen and you know, hit it again next year. But

1726
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,760
Speaker 21: I love to hear what you guys think on those.

1727
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 21: But those are the three I would attack.

1728
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like your plan in terms of

1729
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 2: attacking the positions. I think Osbourne does have a chance

1730
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 2: to be their second third wave of free agency because

1731
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 2: what Brandon Bean has to do right now is hold

1732
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 2: his water. And I think you can do that at

1733
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 2: the safety position because I crunched the numbers. Last year,

1734
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 2: there were eighteen starting safeties in free agency, and it

1735
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 2: depressed the mark, and outside of a couple of exceptions,

1736
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 2: most of them didn't get the money they thought they

1737
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 2: were worth. This offseason after some of these player releases

1738
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 2: last week, there were twenty eight starting safeties in free agency.

1739
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 3: Twenty eight.

1740
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 2: Supply is far outweighing demand, and so I think if

1741
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean just holds his water and waits for a

1742
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 2: week to go by, there's still going to be a

1743
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 2: lot of good players to choose from. And I think

1744
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:29,799
Speaker 2: we have to keep this in mind. I think Taylor

1745
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 2: Rap for all intents and purposes, is going to be

1746
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 2: this team's strong safety, playing a little closer to the

1747
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, you know, more of that box role

1748
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 2: that Jordan Poyer played. So they need a center fielder,

1749
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 2: a guy that can cover the deep half. Maybe less

1750
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 2: so nowadays with all the split safety that's played, but

1751
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 2: they need a better athlete back there. Chin is that

1752
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 2: Curl plays more closer to the line of scrimmage, So

1753
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 2: it'd be interesting to see what they decide is a

1754
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 2: fit there.

1755
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 4: If they go after the deeper, and I'll say this too,

1756
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 4: the deeper you go get into free agency and without

1757
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 4: the flurry of signings after a week or two or

1758
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 4: even a month, and your guy, the guy that you like,

1759
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 4: is still out there to make no mistake, Brandon Bean

1760
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 4: knows it. And as a player, as a former player,

1761
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 4: you get you. And we've talked about this before. You

1762
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 4: panic because free agencies all the glamorous and stuff you

1763
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 4: picture flying around in private jets. Yeah, for most of

1764
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 4: these guys, they're sitting there in a dark room looking

1765
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 4: at the phone waiting for it to ring. They're out

1766
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 4: of work. So that emotion starts to go up and

1767
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 4: up and up and up. And that's why when you

1768
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 4: get a guy like a Leonard Floyd who's still sitting

1769
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 4: out there, and certainly the Bills weren't the only team

1770
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 4: interested in him, but he's sitting there waiting, and sooner

1771
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 4: or later, if he wants to play, he's got a sign.

1772
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 4: And there are other guys out there who will be

1773
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:51,879
Speaker 4: calling teams and saying, hey, what about it. The longer

1774
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 4: a GM can wait, and the smart ones are willing to,

1775
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 4: the better deals you get, because guy, if you want to,

1776
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 4: guys want to. That emotion is real. But man, oh man,

1777
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 4: it is a tough standoff to be a part of EAT,

1778
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 4: both as a GM and a coaching staff and an organization,

1779
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 4: as well as a player sitting out there waiting on

1780
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 4: the phone to ring.

1781
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 2: And I would say you could do a lot worse

1782
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 2: than a teyor Tart. I would call him an ascending player.

1783
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 2: You just hope that he sits out there long enough

1784
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 2: where you can get an affordable deal done with him,

1785
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 2: not an astronomical one. Again, the cap space is the

1786
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: big deterrent here and the inhibitor for Brandon Bean in

1787
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 2: the front office right now, got to take a break

1788
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 2: back to close things up next here on One Bill's Live.

1789
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

1790
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live for one

1791
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 2: final segment, going to try to squeeze in a phone

1792
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 2: call here before we gotta sign off for the day,

1793
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 2: and we go to Paul in a car.

1794
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? Paul?

1795
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 22: Hey, guys, about a week and a half ago, I

1796
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 22: guess large guy from the Patriots got released, and I

1797
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 22: know the way McDermott rotates his defensive lineman. If he'd

1798
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 22: be an option, you know, to go in there. He's

1799
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 22: thirty three years old, but you know he's been there

1800
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 22: with the Super Bowl with the Patriots. You know, he's

1801
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 22: a nice locker room veteran presidence. Seeing at Mitch Morrison,

1802
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 22: you know, a couple of the other guys have been released.

1803
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 2: What you think about him, Yeah, I mean, if you

1804
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 2: could get him on an affordable deal, I would say,

1805
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 2: keep in mind he's played most of his career in

1806
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 2: a three four front. That doesn't mean he couldn't find

1807
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 2: to fit here in some way, shape or form. You know,

1808
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 2: maybe as a rundown edge player, but then kicking inside right,

1809
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, and that kind of thing, playing under tackle,

1810
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 2: something to that effort.

1811
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 4: Well, believe me, Bills are very familiar with who he

1812
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 4: is and what his game is like. And if he

1813
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 4: if they could find a place for him, They're they're

1814
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 4: gonna be familiar with him. And I'm sure they had

1815
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 4: a conversation about him, and maybe they still are. I

1816
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.

1817
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's possible. One other thing to keep your eye on.

1818
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 2: We were talking today about the possibility of a Taron

1819
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 2: Johnson extension, knowing that he's entering the last year of

1820
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 2: his deal and they still need some cap relief and

1821
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 2: extension can help. Kenny Moore, who's known as one of

1822
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 2: the best slot corners in the league for Indianapolis, is

1823
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 2: a free agent. It's a contract negotiation worth keeping an

1824
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 2: eye on because it could set the market for what

1825
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 2: top nickel corners are paid going forward.

1826
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 3: But that's it for us today.

1827
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 2: Steve and I back tomorrow for another exciting edition of

1828
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:39,560
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live when the free agent market begins the

1829
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 2: league year right after we're off the air at four.

1830
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:46,959
Speaker 2: But we'll see it one
