WEBVTT - Nick Wright reacts to Cowboys TRADING Micah Parsons to Packers | NFL

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in What's Right with Nick Right a quick emergency,

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons traded to the Green Bay Packers podcast, and

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>something that a year ago would have been unfathomable six

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>months ago incomprehensible, started to feel possible. Well when Micah

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>demanded a trade and then gained some momentum over the

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>last week, and then in a flash, it's happened. A

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>generational pass rusher. In my opinion, the best young defensive

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>player in the league, and maybe just the best defensive

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>player in the league, is traded away in a seismic move.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>We will get to the Packers piece of it in

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a moment. The short version is there is now more

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>pressure on Jordan Love than any other quarterback in at

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>least his conference, if not the entire league. The pack

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>clearly believe they can win the Super Bowl this season.

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they have good reason to believe it. We will

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>discuss them in a second, but I actually want to

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>start with the Cowboys side, because well, they're the Cowboys,

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and this has been the story of the off season,

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm I am not going to defend trading Micah

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Parsons holistically, and I understand every single person has the

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>same take today, which is Jerry Blewett, and to a

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>degree that is correct. But the question is, as the

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys woke up yesterday morning, what were their best options? Now,

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>they should have never gotten themselves in the position they

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>were in. The right answer here is the moment you

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to sign Micah Parsons, which was a

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>year and a half ago you signed Micah Parsons. Had

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>they done that, had they gotten ahead of it the

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>way their divisional rival Philadelphia Eagles always do, the way

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the better teams in football always do, Micah would be

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>sitting here on a long term deal that averages around

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty four million dollars a year. That's what they could

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have done just eighteen months ago. The pass rusher market

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>going into last year, there was one guy making more

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>than thirty million a year as an edge rusher, and

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it was Nicky Bosa. Chris Jones missed a game and

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>held out. I know he's on an edge rusher, but

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of a special D tackle. This deal was

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>shocking at thirty one million dollars a year. The right

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>thing to do was to sign Micah a year ago.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>They didn't do that. That's on Jerry that's a mistake,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>but there is no there's nothing one can do about

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that mistake. And so my not necessarily defense of the Cowboys,

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>but my honest read of it when I saw the

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>news and saw it was forty seven million dollars a year,

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>was Jerry and the Cowboys had put themselves in a

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>position where no matter what they do, they get killed.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Because if we're being honest, had the Dallas Cowboys, instead

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>of trading Micah Parsons yesterday, had the Dallas Cowboys signed

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Michael Parsons to the exact deal the Green Bay Packers

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>signed Michaeh. Parsons to every single talking head, every single

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>sports show would be saying Jerry got worked once again,

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Jerry waited paid top top of market, overpaid, and they

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>would have been right when the markets at forty one

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, your guys at forty seven.

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It shatters the framework of what pass rushers can make.

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>And now, even if you're not into the accounting part

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of football, and I don't blame you, here's the question

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I would ask you. If the Cowboys had signed Micah

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Parsons to the deal, the Green Bay Packers just signed

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Mike Parsons too. Would any of us realistically believe they

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>have a viable Super Bowl path over the next few

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>years with Dak making sixty, with CD making top of

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver market money, and with Micah making say

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they got him at forty five, would we say the

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are going to get not back to because they

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't been there in thirty years, but get to the

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 1>final four, a conference championship game, much less a Super Bowl.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have. I thought they were going to get

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>him done, and I thought they were a last place

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>team this year in their division, and so you shouldn't

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>be in this spot where you wait, wait, and then

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>pay record setting deals. But once you put yourself in

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that spot and you did it with CD and then

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you did it with Dak, was the better option for Dallas?

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Resetting it one of those spots was the better. If

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the idea is the Cowboys are going to have to

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>be an offense led team with Dak and CD and

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>then build up a young, cheap defense because of how

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>much you're paying to offense. Does getting two first round

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>picks Kenny Clark and removing what was going to be

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>forty plus million from your books is that a legitimate approach.

0:06:55.120 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it is now again. The better way to

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>go about this actually probably was if you really thought

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't pay Dak CD and Micah is to pay

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Micah a year ago, get the two first round picks

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>for CD Lamb and tell Dak Prescott, this is what

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the money's for. You're gonna have to make do without him.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how I would have run the Cowboys. Was there

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>an argument to make you pay CD, you pay Micah,

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you let Dak's contract. You do the terrifying thing of

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>letting Dak's contract expire and get back on the quarterback carousel.

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>That takes a lot of guts. Because you had given

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Dak that no trade, you couldn't necessarily wor you know,

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>get multiple first round picks for him, because he could

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>have just said no, I'll just let the contract play out.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>That that would have maybe been the riskiest move. Mike

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>is the best player on the team. Mike is the

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.559
<v Speaker 1>only player on the team that is on a clear cut,

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.119
<v Speaker 1>undoubted Hall of Fame trajectory, and you trade them away.

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's not the decision I would have made. But

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>as they found themselves the situation they were in in

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>August of twenty twenty five. Was there any move they

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>could have made you that would have been the response,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>would have been well done? And the answer is no,

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>So maybe don't put yourself in that position, So be

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it get your business done early. Obviously that's what they

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 1>need to do. But I'm not as horrified by the

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>trade given where they found themselves as everyone else seems

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to be. Because if I'm being fair, if I'm being honest,

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>had they given Micah the deal the packers just gave him,

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they would be getting killed for it. And I think

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that is a weird place to be in where there

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>are no good options. But given where they found themselves,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't think getting to this place is a catastrophe.

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>The decision they made once they are in that place

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is to me not necessarily a catastrophe. And now a

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are like, well, how do you trade

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>them in the conference? This is again a counterintuitive but

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty logical belief I've always had on these Oh, you

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>don't trade within the division, you don't trade within the conference.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.439
<v Speaker 1>If you like the trade, if you think you are

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 1>winning the trade, you actually would rather the other side

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of the trade be someone you're competing with If you

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>think I won the trade and the other team lost

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the trade, then you'd rather the loser be someone that

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to compete with to make a Super Bowl

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>than someone in the other conference. Teams tend not to

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>look at it that way. You know who did Bill

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Belichick when he traded Drew Bledsoe? But I don't have

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>as big of a deal with trading within the conference.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Now we do get to the Green Bay packers. Tell

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you about them in just a second, but first ever

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>sign up for a phone play and thinking wow, great price.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Then a few months later it's like, surprise, your bill's higher.

<v Speaker 1>long as they remain active on the Boost Unlimited plan.

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, now to the Packers, they think they can

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl. I think Micah is one of

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the best players in football. He is one of the

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>only players that isn't a quarterback that legitimately, just by

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>himself changes your life. And when you look at the

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>teams who have played in or won Super Bowls, they

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>all have a guy like that. The Chiefs obviously have

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris Jones. The Eagles have a bunch of really good defenders.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think it's fair to put this player

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in that category yet, but you feel like Jalen Carter,

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>is that going to maybe be that type of guy

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that Cardinals? The Cardinals, the Rams had Aaron Donald. The

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Bills thought they needed it and went out and got

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>von Miller. He ended up not being that guy the

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Rams that you when they won, they also had, you know,

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>an unbelievable run from von Miller. Having a game wrecking

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>presence up front changes your life. In the NFL, there

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>aren't that many of them. There are none his age

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>with his level of production, and Green Bay had done

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a really good job of acquiring good players. Green Bay

0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>had not done a great job of acquiring great players.

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.839
<v Speaker 1>And it's very hard. And this is very unlike green

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Bay trading away draft picks paying top of market. It's

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously they signed Reggie White famously. Obviously they signed Charles

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Woodson famously, but they didn't have to trade away draft

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>picks to do that. This is as aggressive of a

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>move as a team can make, and it's the most

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>expensive way to acquire a player by a mile. This

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is more Barnwell's territory than mine. But when you do

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the math on the surplus value you get from first

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>round picks that you now won't have, and then add

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:49.479
<v Speaker 1>that to Micah's salary, that forty seven million is effectively

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.559
<v Speaker 1>closer to sixty million a year you're paying Micah Parsons,

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>which is totally worth it. If you can win the

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, you can they win the Super Bowl? Yes,

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>what's the big Who is now the biggest X factor

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. The answer to that question is Jordan Love.

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Because we know how talented Jordan Love is. We also

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>know we haven't seen a full awesome season from him yet.

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Last year he was good, but not great. Dealing with

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>an injury the year before. He was pretty mediocre the

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>first half of the year and then a quadruple plus

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the second half of the year. Every step of the

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>way until the one awful decision late in that playoff

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>game against the It was against the Niners. Yet it

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>was against the Niners, and that's like a low key

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say it's forgotten, but we always

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>think about the Niners comeback. What I don't know how

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 1>much people think about is this the the Packers were

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>just shy him in midfield down three a minute left,

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and if you remember watching that game, it felt, at

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>least to me, like, oh, Green Bay's gonna gett and

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>field goal range and this thing's going to overtime. And

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 1>j Lo made Bruce's impact on me. Jordan Love made

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a you know, a rookie mistake. I know it wasn't

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a rookie his first year really starting, but they they

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>go all in like this because they believe he's good

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>enough to be a Super Bowl champion quarterback right now.

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And obviously, when you trade for twenty six year old

0:15:55.080 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons, he's now partnered with Jordan Love. The rest

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of the way what I would say is it is

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>now going to those are your stars, and you hope

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Golden turns into a star. I know they like

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>they are not going to have another super high priced

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>acquisition anytime soon. You've paid the quarterback. You now have

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>what will be the most expensive defensive player in football

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>for the next few years, probably next couple at least.

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>That and your rolling that's your team. It is a

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>very it. If there was any question, not that there

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>was any reason to have a question, but if there

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>was any question on how much belief do the Packers

0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 1>have in Jordan Love, that got answered immediately because you

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>don't make this move if you don't think, oh, yeah,

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>we have a quarterback good enough to win four straight

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>rounds or if we're you know, maybe three, we only

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>have to win three straight rounds because you get the

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>one seed. The schedule obviously for them, depending on how

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.199
<v Speaker 1>good you think the NFC North is, is brutal. But

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>this is a seismic game changing player. And I had

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the Packers out of the playoffs before the trade. I

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 1>have them in the playoffs now. But so that's if

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you had the Packers as a really good playoff team.

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>But not quite in the super Bowl. This move to me,

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you can be like, no that they're in the super Bowl.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I had them out of the playoffs and one of

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the things I said was, I don't believe in the

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 1>defense as much as everyone else because I think they're

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a corner or two short and I don't know they're

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to have a super impact pass rusher.

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 1>But now they have one. So that's enough for you know.

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I moved them up a grade and a half based

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>on this player. But if I had him out of

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs before, I don't now have them in the

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. But this is as big of a swing

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>as a team can make. And these guys at this

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:39.440
<v Speaker 1>age don't typically come available. And I mean Khalil Mack did,

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I understand, but Khalil Mack was not Micah Parsons. Jalen

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Ramsey did. And Jalen Ramsey, you know, they won a

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. It didn't end grade in in Los Angeles,

0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>but it worked out. While it maybe didn't end perfectly,

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.199
<v Speaker 1>they would do that trade again one hundred times out

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>of one hundred, and as great as Ramsey is, I

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's Micah Parsons. And so to be able to.

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>You typically only get guys like this when they're past

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>their prime or because you drafted them, which is why

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>for Dallas fans who have now traded Luka Doncic and

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons in the last year, have to be beside themselves.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And I again, to briefly go back to the Cowboys,

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 1>if the ultimate goal is winning a super Bowl, I

0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:02.880
<v Speaker 1>don't given where they found themselves, I don't hate doing this,

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but if the ultimate goal is winning the super Bowl,

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you can't find yourself where you found yourself. You can't

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in this position. The other interesting note on

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 1>this is why didn't anyone else trump this deal. I

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's noteworthy that Buffalo didn't come over the top

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 1>because two first round picks and thirty year old D

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 1>tackle Kenny Clark is a good you know, that's a

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>good return, but it's not a holy shit look at

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>what they paid return. And Jerry said in his press

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>conference yesterday that you know, getting a quality D tackle

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>was basically a prerequisite for this deal. Well, you know,

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the the Bills have They just spent two draft picks

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on D tackles this year. They have day Kwon Jones,

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 1>who they you know, signed, They obviously love Ed Oliver,

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 1>like the Bills have depth there that they they could

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>have And when I signed, when I say they signed

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Daikwon Jones, not this offseason, but they a guy they

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't draft, but they brought in a few years ago.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>The Bills are an interesting one. Now. Maybe they look

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 1>at it like, hey, we took our swing on Joey Bosa.

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.880
<v Speaker 1>But and maybe they look at it as we tried

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it with Von Miller, different player, different circumstances, didn't work out.

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:52.479
<v Speaker 1>The Lions would have been and intriguing one. Maybe they

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like we've got to save our money for Hutchinson.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>We can't do it. But I'm a little surprised that

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>this was the absolute best best the Cowboys could do.

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And I also think, and this is where criticizing the

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>move is totally fair. If you're going to make this move,

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:20.719
<v Speaker 1>making it before the draft when a more teams I

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 1>think would have been in the bidding, and b you

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 1>have certainty of what draft pick you're getting back. Where

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>did the Packers pick last year? Eighteenth? The the they

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 1>picked twenty third. Sorry, like I'll it's unlikely that this

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>pick they get back from Green Bay is much better

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>than twenty three, and it's on the board that it's

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a bit worse, and so I'm a little like the

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys process obvious was disastrous. The end result, I don't

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>think is. I just think, if we're being fair, had

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Jerry signed Micah to this exact deal that Green Bay

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is being lauded for, he would have been pilloried for.

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's reality now some of that he's

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>earned himself, and Green Bay now just clearly clearly believes

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we can just go win the Super Bowl, and maybe

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>they can. They won't be my pick, but and I

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to. I want to be very fair with

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. This isn't a Super Bowl or bust

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 1>trade this season, only because Micah probably be in Green

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Bay for the next decade. And I'm happy for Mica

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.679
<v Speaker 1>that he got this money and that he stays with

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a blue chip franchise. And it'll be very interesting going

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>from the franchise that has the most kind of non

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>football stuff going on around him to the franchise that

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 1>has the least, and Packer fans will fing love him.

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Micah Parsons, a Green Bay Packer, talk about it more

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 1>on the TV show in a bit and see you

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 1>guys on Tuesday. What's right
