Let's punk rock lifetime. 9 00:00:47,788 --> 00:00:49,028 Speaker 1: We would take you in here, though, I mean you 10 00:00:49,068 --> 00:00:51,468 Speaker 1: could bring it in here. Lamar Jackson took to his 11 00:00:51,548 --> 00:00:54,028 Speaker 1: Instagram this weekend to plug an upcoming interview that's going 12 00:00:54,068 --> 00:00:57,588 Speaker 1: to be dropping soon on his YouTube page. Lamar, you 13 00:00:57,668 --> 00:01:01,708 Speaker 1: are always welcome at the Good Morning Football breakfast table 14 00:01:01,908 --> 00:01:04,388 Speaker 1: as well. There's a lot of news. There's like Lamar news, 15 00:01:04,428 --> 00:01:07,068 Speaker 1: as we've been talking about Tom. Give us the latest 16 00:01:07,068 --> 00:01:09,468 Speaker 1: on what's going on with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, 17 00:01:09,508 --> 00:01:13,028 Speaker 1: because that's it a standstill. How about a reminder of 18 00:01:13,028 --> 00:01:15,068 Speaker 1: where things are at right now? Well, the Ravens have 19 00:01:15,308 --> 00:01:18,108 Speaker 1: been trying to get Lamar Jackson signed to a long 20 00:01:18,228 --> 00:01:21,268 Speaker 1: term contract for over a year now, most of two years, 21 00:01:21,348 --> 00:01:23,828 Speaker 1: they've not seen eye to eye on the structure of 22 00:01:23,828 --> 00:01:26,108 Speaker 1: that contract, with Lamar wanting it to be a fully 23 00:01:26,148 --> 00:01:29,428 Speaker 1: guaranteed deal, the Ravens wanted it to be like every 24 00:01:29,468 --> 00:01:32,628 Speaker 1: deal except for to Shaun Watson in recent NFL history. 25 00:01:32,868 --> 00:01:35,148 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins arguably three years eighty four million, but that 26 00:01:35,188 --> 00:01:37,348 Speaker 1: was a shorter term type of a deal. And so 27 00:01:37,548 --> 00:01:40,828 Speaker 1: by putting the non exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, he 28 00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:43,508 Speaker 1: is permitted to speak with the other thirty one teams 29 00:01:43,908 --> 00:01:47,188 Speaker 1: and potentially signed an offer sheet which the Ravens then 30 00:01:47,228 --> 00:01:49,428 Speaker 1: could choose to either match or let him go for 31 00:01:49,468 --> 00:01:52,988 Speaker 1: two first stround picks. It is not as simple as saying, well, 32 00:01:53,028 --> 00:01:55,508 Speaker 1: there's a former NFL MVP out there just sitting there. 33 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:57,868 Speaker 1: Why doesn't everybody go and try to get them. If 34 00:01:57,908 --> 00:01:59,588 Speaker 1: you just go down the list of the thirty two 35 00:01:59,628 --> 00:02:02,508 Speaker 1: teams and I've done this, you can easily cross off 36 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:04,748 Speaker 1: twenty of them because either they got a young quarterback 37 00:02:04,788 --> 00:02:06,428 Speaker 1: they're going to pay, or they've got a lot of 38 00:02:06,428 --> 00:02:09,188 Speaker 1: money tied up in a veteran quarterback. Then there's another 39 00:02:09,228 --> 00:02:12,188 Speaker 1: half dozen or so where it's like probably not doesn't 40 00:02:12,188 --> 00:02:13,508 Speaker 1: really make a lot of sense to this point. So 41 00:02:13,548 --> 00:02:15,588 Speaker 1: now you're down to like a half dozen teams, and 42 00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:18,388 Speaker 1: maybe one of those teams signs tomorrow an offer sheet. 43 00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:20,348 Speaker 1: What you've got to be willing to do if you're 44 00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:22,708 Speaker 1: going to sign them to an offer sheet is give 45 00:02:22,788 --> 00:02:25,708 Speaker 1: up the two first round picks, give up about fifty 46 00:02:25,708 --> 00:02:29,388 Speaker 1: million dollars per year on a fully guaranteed contract, which 47 00:02:29,588 --> 00:02:31,828 Speaker 1: owners don't like having to put two hundred plus million 48 00:02:31,828 --> 00:02:34,308 Speaker 1: dollars into an escrow account indefinitely. You would have to 49 00:02:34,348 --> 00:02:36,508 Speaker 1: be willing to have over twenty percent of your salary 50 00:02:36,548 --> 00:02:38,948 Speaker 1: cap tied up in one player, change your offensive scheme 51 00:02:38,948 --> 00:02:41,628 Speaker 1: and personnel to suit what Lamar does, and take on 52 00:02:41,908 --> 00:02:44,428 Speaker 1: the risk that comes with the fact that a great 53 00:02:44,508 --> 00:02:48,668 Speaker 1: deal of his skill is based off of his mobility, 54 00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:50,508 Speaker 1: and that's not it. He's developed a lot as a patter, 55 00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:52,748 Speaker 1: he's got a lot better in that regard, but it's 56 00:02:52,748 --> 00:02:54,508 Speaker 1: still based on and you can speak to this a 57 00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,468 Speaker 1: lot better than I can j When you have a 58 00:02:56,548 --> 00:02:59,068 Speaker 1: quarterbacker's a run thread, it changes the numbers. The picture 59 00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:01,188 Speaker 1: on the back end gets clear. So all those explosives, 60 00:03:01,188 --> 00:03:03,188 Speaker 1: all the efficiency in the passing game. It's based on 61 00:03:03,268 --> 00:03:08,388 Speaker 1: that and mobility speed. These are by definition depreciating assets. 62 00:03:08,628 --> 00:03:11,188 Speaker 1: You're not going to get faster or more mobiled over 63 00:03:11,228 --> 00:03:13,908 Speaker 1: the course of time. And you've suffered two consecutive season 64 00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:16,068 Speaker 1: ending lower body injuries, So you've got to take all 65 00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:18,388 Speaker 1: that into account when you're talking about potentially signed Lamar 66 00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:20,028 Speaker 1: to a deal, and then oh yeah, you can decide 67 00:03:20,028 --> 00:03:21,228 Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna do it, and then the 68 00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 1: Ravens can go, actually, we match. You just did all 69 00:03:23,388 --> 00:03:26,068 Speaker 1: the work for us. So the timeline on this and 70 00:03:26,108 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 1: I misspoke about this on this show last week. Lamar 71 00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:32,148 Speaker 1: actually can take this all the way until the Tuesday 72 00:03:32,188 --> 00:03:34,988 Speaker 1: after week ten if he wanted to. That's how late 73 00:03:35,028 --> 00:03:37,508 Speaker 1: you can sign an offer sheet. The question becomes is 74 00:03:37,588 --> 00:03:40,108 Speaker 1: Lamar willing after playing for one point seven million dollars 75 00:03:40,108 --> 00:03:42,868 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one about twenty three million dollars in 76 00:03:42,908 --> 00:03:46,308 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to start giving up roughly two million 77 00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:50,548 Speaker 1: dollars per game check come the season to push this. 78 00:03:51,868 --> 00:03:56,588 Speaker 1: Any player's greatest leverage is withholding their services. It's not 79 00:03:56,708 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 1: showing up. If Lamar had an agent, that agent would 80 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:01,308 Speaker 1: have told him two years ago you're not showing up 81 00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:03,628 Speaker 1: and playing for one point seven. We're forcing the issue 82 00:04:04,028 --> 00:04:06,228 Speaker 1: right now, just like Kyler Murray's agent did with him 83 00:04:06,228 --> 00:04:09,028 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It was ugly, people mocked him, 84 00:04:09,468 --> 00:04:12,308 Speaker 1: but the deal got done well Again, Lamar has been 85 00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:14,308 Speaker 1: offered a deal at the top or near the top 86 00:04:14,348 --> 00:04:16,788 Speaker 1: of the quarterback market. It's not the structure that he wants. 87 00:04:17,228 --> 00:04:19,228 Speaker 1: She's still got a lot of moving parts here. It's 88 00:04:19,228 --> 00:04:21,428 Speaker 1: not entirely clear for la markets out there realizes no 89 00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:23,748 Speaker 1: one's going to do that type of contract what he'll do. 90 00:04:23,788 --> 00:04:25,428 Speaker 1: Because he could he sign the tender and play for 91 00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:28,508 Speaker 1: thirty two. He could take the best long term offer 92 00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:30,668 Speaker 1: he gets from the Ravens or someone else, or he 93 00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:34,108 Speaker 1: could withhold his services all the way too, as late 94 00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:36,428 Speaker 1: as week ten of the regular season, at which point 95 00:04:36,708 --> 00:04:39,148 Speaker 1: he would have given up another twenty million dollars or so, 96 00:04:39,268 --> 00:04:40,908 Speaker 1: on top of the tens of millions of dollars she's 97 00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,428 Speaker 1: already given up by virtue not signing the best contract 98 00:04:43,428 --> 00:04:44,748 Speaker 1: he would have been offered a couple of years ago. 99 00:04:44,748 --> 00:04:46,748 Speaker 1: He could also sign the tender and show up with 100 00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:49,148 Speaker 1: an hamstring injury as well. Right, you could hold in 101 00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:53,548 Speaker 1: That is a possibility, you would money. Now, there's a 102 00:04:53,548 --> 00:04:55,988 Speaker 1: lot of different things that go into that. So obviously 103 00:04:56,308 --> 00:04:58,628 Speaker 1: we've seen players do it usually, I mean, because there 104 00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:01,588 Speaker 1: are avenues that you could try to enforce that too. 105 00:05:01,628 --> 00:05:03,468 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not allowed just to fake an injury 106 00:05:03,508 --> 00:05:07,548 Speaker 1: technically usually when that's happened, Jalen Ramsey's back, Oh no, 107 00:05:07,588 --> 00:05:10,428 Speaker 1: it's it's hurting. That's the Jaguars going, you know what, Okay, 108 00:05:10,428 --> 00:05:12,668 Speaker 1: we're just gonna work together on this and the magically 109 00:05:12,668 --> 00:05:14,548 Speaker 1: trade of the Rams and he was totally fine played 110 00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:18,468 Speaker 1: that week. So yes, you could hold in. That's generally 111 00:05:18,468 --> 00:05:21,108 Speaker 1: a short term strategy. It's not a long term strategy. 112 00:05:21,228 --> 00:05:23,788 Speaker 1: He's not going to you would think, hold out for 113 00:05:23,828 --> 00:05:26,468 Speaker 1: three months with a hamstring injury. Although again last year 114 00:05:26,468 --> 00:05:30,468 Speaker 1: he had a PCL injury that generally players have braced 115 00:05:30,508 --> 00:05:34,028 Speaker 1: and played in the past. He chose not to do that. 116 00:05:34,108 --> 00:05:36,908 Speaker 1: He obviously said it was a significant grade two borderline 117 00:05:36,948 --> 00:05:38,908 Speaker 1: grade three type of a PCL. I don't know what's 118 00:05:38,908 --> 00:05:40,988 Speaker 1: going on inside Lamar's body. I don't right now, don't 119 00:05:40,988 --> 00:05:43,108 Speaker 1: know what's going on inside his head. I am fascinated 120 00:05:43,108 --> 00:05:46,908 Speaker 1: to see Lamar interviewing Lamar about Lamar for sure, and 121 00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:49,388 Speaker 1: his agent, Lamar you laid out and we're all gonna 122 00:05:49,388 --> 00:05:51,428 Speaker 1: watch it, and that's gonna Lamar's gonna be the cameraman 123 00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:53,828 Speaker 1: and the boom operator and everything you laid out, all 124 00:05:53,868 --> 00:05:56,268 Speaker 1: the dangers and all the money. And the flip side 125 00:05:56,308 --> 00:05:58,068 Speaker 1: of that is you get Lamar Jackson to be a quarterback. 126 00:05:58,268 --> 00:06:00,028 Speaker 1: This's that's simple. And you said it. Maybe a half 127 00:06:00,028 --> 00:06:02,148 Speaker 1: dozen teams. I personally think it's more. I think some 128 00:06:02,188 --> 00:06:04,868 Speaker 1: of those it would be weird teams play. However, you 129 00:06:04,868 --> 00:06:06,748 Speaker 1: could have called them last week at four o'clock. Do 130 00:06:06,828 --> 00:06:09,388 Speaker 1: you think anybody's calling. Do you think anyone's like Lamar, 131 00:06:09,468 --> 00:06:11,868 Speaker 1: let's talk numbers, were interested? All right, let's do this. Yes, 132 00:06:11,908 --> 00:06:14,428 Speaker 1: who do you think is interested? Okay, Baltimore's won, right, 133 00:06:14,548 --> 00:06:16,468 Speaker 1: Baltimore's got a nobody. Who else would you put on 134 00:06:16,468 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 1: the list? Do you think feasibly they could do it 135 00:06:18,268 --> 00:06:20,628 Speaker 1: and should do it? I think it's any team that's 136 00:06:20,628 --> 00:06:23,308 Speaker 1: just sort of anybody. I caught them all in. I'm 137 00:06:23,308 --> 00:06:26,708 Speaker 1: talking about some of the crazy teams. Colts for sure, 138 00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:29,508 Speaker 1: but then there's a weird one's Dallas and Arizona who 139 00:06:29,508 --> 00:06:31,428 Speaker 1: have huge money quarterbacks who just say it's screwed, it's 140 00:06:31,428 --> 00:06:33,068 Speaker 1: not working. Let's break the thing and try over. I 141 00:06:33,108 --> 00:06:34,948 Speaker 1: think it's a lot of teams, but I think if 142 00:06:34,948 --> 00:06:36,628 Speaker 1: you want a prudent one, like one that makes sense, 143 00:06:36,668 --> 00:06:40,028 Speaker 1: sure Indianapolis. Indianapolis would be one. Tennessee doesn't have a 144 00:06:40,068 --> 00:06:42,868 Speaker 1: lot of money. There's no guaranteed money left on Tannehill's contract. 145 00:06:42,868 --> 00:06:44,788 Speaker 1: You could certainly make a case that they should be 146 00:06:44,788 --> 00:06:46,668 Speaker 1: in that mix. It's hard to come up with a 147 00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:48,948 Speaker 1: lot of other teams even Okay, take the case of Arizona. 148 00:06:48,988 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is coming off of a torn a cl 149 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:53,708 Speaker 1: He know it's not gonna be ready for the start 150 00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:56,108 Speaker 1: of this season. If not for the injury, Kyler Murray's 151 00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:58,708 Speaker 1: contract was tradable in this offseason, you could have done it. 152 00:06:58,748 --> 00:07:00,668 Speaker 1: Can you do that right now? With the money that 153 00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:03,268 Speaker 1: you're eating? Pay Kyler and pay Lamar Again, I'm not 154 00:07:03,308 --> 00:07:05,868 Speaker 1: saying you can't. It just puts you in a challenging 155 00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:08,748 Speaker 1: type of position. If you're Minnesota, you got Kirk Cousins 156 00:07:08,748 --> 00:07:12,188 Speaker 1: on the books for thirty million dollars this season. Hypothetically, 157 00:07:12,228 --> 00:07:14,988 Speaker 1: could you do that? You probably could, But again, you've 158 00:07:14,988 --> 00:07:17,148 Speaker 1: got that money on your books. You just restructured him. 159 00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:18,788 Speaker 1: So you got money tied up and then you've already 160 00:07:18,788 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: paid out Washington. Washington would be enough wildcard. But what 161 00:07:23,148 --> 00:07:24,908 Speaker 1: they've done so far though, suggests they're not going to 162 00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:27,028 Speaker 1: do it. They just gave you code ten million dollars. 163 00:07:27,028 --> 00:07:28,828 Speaker 1: They've got Sam Howell, who they think, even though it's 164 00:07:28,828 --> 00:07:30,588 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick out of the Carolina, they think 165 00:07:30,588 --> 00:07:32,228 Speaker 1: he can be pretty good. That's what I mean. If 166 00:07:32,268 --> 00:07:34,788 Speaker 1: you just follow what teams are doing, it's hard to 167 00:07:34,828 --> 00:07:36,748 Speaker 1: come up with teams they like haven't made a move 168 00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:38,708 Speaker 1: at the position. That's why Tennessee hasn't made a move 169 00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:41,908 Speaker 1: at the position. Even Indianapolis signed Gardner Minshew. Why not 170 00:07:41,988 --> 00:07:45,468 Speaker 1: the Coals? Why not fifty million dollars over twenty percent 171 00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:48,268 Speaker 1: of your cap? Two first round picks? How can you 172 00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:50,388 Speaker 1: put the pieces around? There's not a great history of 173 00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:52,268 Speaker 1: paying quarterbacks at the top of the market on that 174 00:07:52,308 --> 00:07:54,868 Speaker 1: type of deal and winning big. The only one of 175 00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:56,948 Speaker 1: the top paid quarterbacks was won a Super Bowl is 176 00:07:56,948 --> 00:08:00,228 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But his contract, which was for ten years, 177 00:08:00,348 --> 00:08:02,308 Speaker 1: paid him sixty million dollars out of the first three 178 00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:04,868 Speaker 1: was designed to make sure we can keep all the 179 00:08:04,908 --> 00:08:07,228 Speaker 1: pieces around it. Bill Belichick, I know that's been a 180 00:08:07,268 --> 00:08:10,268 Speaker 1: talking point because Rob Ninkovich or somebody said they should 181 00:08:10,268 --> 00:08:12,268 Speaker 1: bring him in. Okay, you got Mac Jones. I don't 182 00:08:12,268 --> 00:08:14,708 Speaker 1: think that that's completely out of the question from a 183 00:08:14,708 --> 00:08:17,828 Speaker 1: logistical standpoint. But Bill Belichick has never been a believer 184 00:08:17,868 --> 00:08:19,348 Speaker 1: in paying the quarterback at the top of the market. 185 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:21,108 Speaker 1: He had the greatest quarterback of all time for a 186 00:08:21,108 --> 00:08:25,108 Speaker 1: long time, and Tom Brady took submarket deals with the philosophy, 187 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:27,988 Speaker 1: We're gonna win, I'm gonna make more money, I'm gonna 188 00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:30,828 Speaker 1: have a longer career, i can have all the endorsements, 189 00:08:31,148 --> 00:08:33,428 Speaker 1: all the things that went into being Tom Brady was 190 00:08:33,428 --> 00:08:36,388 Speaker 1: a function of winning. There's a function of being a 191 00:08:36,388 --> 00:08:39,228 Speaker 1: really good player. So there's not a lot of quarterbacks 192 00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,908 Speaker 1: who think that way and take any types of discounts 193 00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:43,828 Speaker 1: to continue to play it. Again, tom Brady made a 194 00:08:43,868 --> 00:08:46,188 Speaker 1: ton of money. I'm not given a SOB story for 195 00:08:46,228 --> 00:08:48,708 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But if you pay a quarterback at that 196 00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:51,308 Speaker 1: level and give up the picks and for a player 197 00:08:51,348 --> 00:08:54,308 Speaker 1: who five years from now is Lamar Jackson still Lamar Jackson, 198 00:08:54,348 --> 00:08:56,548 Speaker 1: three years from now is Lamar Jackson still Lamar Jackson. 199 00:08:56,628 --> 00:08:58,588 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson looked like a shell of himself last year. 200 00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:00,348 Speaker 1: He's got Sean Payton with him. Now he may be 201 00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:02,748 Speaker 1: way better, and they're willing to give up two first 202 00:09:02,828 --> 00:09:06,028 Speaker 1: round picks and Russians. It would be so radical for 203 00:09:06,028 --> 00:09:07,948 Speaker 1: some of the Lamar I think it defies all conventional 204 00:09:07,988 --> 00:09:10,268 Speaker 1: analysis about salary. I think it comes from the owner, 205 00:09:10,348 --> 00:09:11,468 Speaker 1: and I think you would have to take it off 206 00:09:11,508 --> 00:09:13,308 Speaker 1: one who's a little bit of centric, who says, I 207 00:09:13,308 --> 00:09:14,908 Speaker 1: don't care, this is what I want. I want this 208 00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:18,188 Speaker 1: player on my team, someone like Jim Rsey or Daniel Snider. 209 00:09:18,268 --> 00:09:19,788 Speaker 1: We don't know. Who's just said just get them. I 210 00:09:19,788 --> 00:09:21,628 Speaker 1: don't care. That's my I'm ordering it right once you 211 00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:24,948 Speaker 1: sell Jerseys on tickets or just want marketable team in 212 00:09:24,988 --> 00:09:27,188 Speaker 1: the league. Yes, and I'm more fascinated by all right, 213 00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:30,108 Speaker 1: we have the Lamar Jackson case right now, but Joe Burrow, 214 00:09:30,348 --> 00:09:33,628 Speaker 1: justin Herbert, they're right behind the following going to need 215 00:09:33,708 --> 00:09:37,508 Speaker 1: big contracts. They're saying was transpiring with Lamar. Do Burrow 216 00:09:37,628 --> 00:09:39,828 Speaker 1: do Herbert? Do they say, hey, you know you know what, No, 217 00:09:39,868 --> 00:09:42,228 Speaker 1: I want a Patrick Mahomes type deal to keep my 218 00:09:42,268 --> 00:09:45,028 Speaker 1: team intact, or do they say no, Lamar, I'm with you, 219 00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:47,948 Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson got two hundred and something million dollars 220 00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:51,948 Speaker 1: fully guarantee. We're right there with you, hey. As NFL players, 221 00:09:51,948 --> 00:09:54,908 Speaker 1: we want guaranteed contracts just like they're doing every other league, 222 00:09:54,948 --> 00:09:56,788 Speaker 1: and they can start with us as quarterback well. And 223 00:09:56,788 --> 00:09:59,108 Speaker 1: that's kind of the give and take here too, is yes, 224 00:09:59,108 --> 00:10:01,148 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are the ones who can drive the fully 225 00:10:01,148 --> 00:10:04,268 Speaker 1: gearte contract argument. The quarterback is also not a guaran 226 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:07,348 Speaker 1: tease position. It's a cash flow position. You take the 227 00:10:07,348 --> 00:10:09,948 Speaker 1: best deal you can get as early as possible, start 228 00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:12,348 Speaker 1: the cash flowing, and then that gets you back to 229 00:10:12,428 --> 00:10:14,748 Speaker 1: your next contract even sooner because those guys, if you're 230 00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:17,268 Speaker 1: an elite quarterback, you don't get cut. If you're Joe 231 00:10:17,308 --> 00:10:20,708 Speaker 1: Burrow and you are wanting a five year, two hundred 232 00:10:20,748 --> 00:10:23,908 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar contract with the Bengals right fully guaranteed, 233 00:10:23,948 --> 00:10:26,668 Speaker 1: which it's Joe Burrow, I think we'd all agree that's 234 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 1: probably justified. If he wants to push it, he should 235 00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:30,068 Speaker 1: be able to push it up to the point that, 236 00:10:30,148 --> 00:10:32,148 Speaker 1: like Lamar's found out, which is owners aren't going to 237 00:10:32,188 --> 00:10:33,508 Speaker 1: do it, and Mike Brown probably is not going to 238 00:10:33,588 --> 00:10:35,628 Speaker 1: do it. I would rather have a five year, three 239 00:10:35,748 --> 00:10:39,148 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract that has sixty million dollars in guarantees. 240 00:10:39,188 --> 00:10:42,068 Speaker 1: Why time, Joe Ff and Burrow, you're never cutting me. 241 00:10:42,148 --> 00:10:44,108 Speaker 1: I'm making all the money possible. And three years into 242 00:10:44,148 --> 00:10:46,188 Speaker 1: that five year deal, you're doing another contract with me. 243 00:10:46,588 --> 00:10:49,508 Speaker 1: With Lamar, he's taken the opposite tact here. We could 244 00:10:49,508 --> 00:10:51,548 Speaker 1: talk about the guarantees, but what's Lamar played on the 245 00:10:51,628 --> 00:10:53,828 Speaker 1: last couple of years. He played from one point seven ever, 246 00:10:53,908 --> 00:10:55,668 Speaker 1: no guarantees on that he played for the twenty three 247 00:10:55,708 --> 00:10:58,348 Speaker 1: million dollars option. It's no guarantees on that he's already 248 00:10:58,348 --> 00:11:01,988 Speaker 1: taken on that injury risk. You know, it's about injury risk, 249 00:11:02,068 --> 00:11:04,108 Speaker 1: it's about time, value of money, and it's about what 250 00:11:04,148 --> 00:11:06,348 Speaker 1: that dollerycap is doing. Those are all the reasons to 251 00:11:06,348 --> 00:11:08,708 Speaker 1: make the argument you take the best deal possible as 252 00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:11,388 Speaker 1: early as possible. He's pushing for something else, which might 253 00:11:11,428 --> 00:11:13,988 Speaker 1: be for the greater good of all players, and that's 254 00:11:14,068 --> 00:11:16,308 Speaker 1: absolutely admirable. And I kind of like the fact we 255 00:11:16,428 --> 00:11:18,788 Speaker 1: got one guy who in this universe it's all about money, 256 00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:21,188 Speaker 1: is just going I'm about something else. I'm on the 257 00:11:21,188 --> 00:11:25,028 Speaker 1: principle that's like it's refreshing kind of because he gets 258 00:11:25,028 --> 00:11:27,868 Speaker 1: criticized for it, and it's almost to his own detriment 259 00:11:27,908 --> 00:11:29,788 Speaker 1: of what he's attempting to do. Right, if he were 260 00:11:29,828 --> 00:11:31,748 Speaker 1: almost with the game for players, if he were about 261 00:11:31,748 --> 00:11:33,188 Speaker 1: the money, he would have taken the money, no doubt 262 00:11:33,228 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: two years ago or last off, just get making you 263 00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:39,068 Speaker 1: that much closer. If he plays out this tag and 264 00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:41,868 Speaker 1: next year he gets a fully guaranteed contract that's five 265 00:11:41,948 --> 00:11:44,468 Speaker 1: years to fifth, he just use broad numbers. That's not 266 00:11:44,548 --> 00:11:46,548 Speaker 1: more valuable than a five year, two and fifty million 267 00:11:46,548 --> 00:11:50,468 Speaker 1: dollar contract last year or this year. Now, it's less valuable. 268 00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:54,308 Speaker 1: So it's a complicated. It's far more complicated and nuanced 269 00:11:54,308 --> 00:11:56,508 Speaker 1: than I think a lot of the conversation around it 270 00:11:56,548 --> 00:11:59,108 Speaker 1: has been. I know that there's the collusion word gets 271 00:11:59,108 --> 00:12:01,348 Speaker 1: thrown around on it, and I know there's an active 272 00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:04,308 Speaker 1: grievance filed by the NFL Players Association on that front. 273 00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:06,148 Speaker 1: You have to think in terms of the context of 274 00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,788 Speaker 1: overall roster building, what teams do with their resources, the 275 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:12,388 Speaker 1: salary cap, draft picks everything else, and then again building 276 00:12:12,388 --> 00:12:15,068 Speaker 1: around a player who if you told me I can 277 00:12:15,148 --> 00:12:16,988 Speaker 1: pick one player for who's gonna be performing at a 278 00:12:17,068 --> 00:12:19,308 Speaker 1: higher level five ten years from now and it's Joe 279 00:12:19,348 --> 00:12:22,508 Speaker 1: Burrow versus Lamar Jackson's I'm taking Joe Burrow just because 280 00:12:22,588 --> 00:12:25,708 Speaker 1: the skill set can transcend whatever might go away. What 281 00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:29,268 Speaker 1: has your physical skills gradually diminish? Coming up on GMFE, 282 00:12:29,508 --> 00:12:33,108 Speaker 1: teams are loaded up in free agency? Which ones are 283 00:12:33,148 --> 00:12:37,948 Speaker 1: building a true Super Bowl roster? Plus? How much do 284 00:12:37,988 --> 00:12:40,628 Speaker 1: we really know about this year's quarterback class? You know 285 00:12:40,668 --> 00:12:43,188 Speaker 1: the names, you watch them play in college. You're looking 286 00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:45,548 Speaker 1: at the mock drafts. You don't know the things we're 287 00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:49,068 Speaker 1: about to talk about. Mysteries and secrets about quarterbacks unlocked 288 00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:50,868 Speaker 1: right after this as a game show, you can play 289 00:12:50,868 --> 00:13:09,148 Speaker 1: along at home.

Dallas likely out of the Odell 295 00:13:30,228 --> 00:13:33,188 Speaker 1: Beckham junior market, and took to Twitter to refute a 296 00:13:33,268 --> 00:13:36,548 Speaker 1: report that he's seeking twenty million dollars a year, saying 297 00:13:36,988 --> 00:13:40,548 Speaker 1: I'm just so confused where the quote is from me 298 00:13:40,708 --> 00:13:44,188 Speaker 1: that I said I want twenty. All I'm saying is 299 00:13:44,308 --> 00:13:50,388 Speaker 1: four eight enough. OBJ also recently tweeted out quote they 300 00:13:50,388 --> 00:13:53,708 Speaker 1: want to try mood Tom, but pay box wine price 301 00:13:53,868 --> 00:13:57,828 Speaker 1: for it now Odell referring to very pricey wine. That's 302 00:13:57,868 --> 00:14:00,868 Speaker 1: something I know anything about, but O'Dell saying he's not 303 00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:05,348 Speaker 1: a box wine something that Tom p knows more about, 304 00:14:05,508 --> 00:14:09,148 Speaker 1: especially like when he's around toasting his asset, I mean 305 00:14:09,748 --> 00:14:15,428 Speaker 1: his wife. You know they're toasting and so some Tom right, Sarah. 306 00:14:16,708 --> 00:14:20,028 Speaker 1: For people that have been not watching every minute of 307 00:14:20,028 --> 00:14:23,428 Speaker 1: this show love, which most people do, I just wanted 308 00:14:23,468 --> 00:14:28,308 Speaker 1: to explain what we was talking about earlier in the show. 309 00:14:28,188 --> 00:14:33,068 Speaker 1: How about that there we go? Is what he said, 310 00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,628 Speaker 1: My wife is a wonderful asset to the family. And 311 00:14:35,668 --> 00:14:37,988 Speaker 1: it was said very business like, and we were all like, wow, 312 00:14:38,028 --> 00:14:39,988 Speaker 1: that's going to probably go to well at home. It's 313 00:14:39,988 --> 00:14:41,788 Speaker 1: not my fault. Tom Will brought it up, and I 314 00:14:41,828 --> 00:14:45,228 Speaker 1: just have to give the people some context. Do like 315 00:14:45,268 --> 00:14:47,508 Speaker 1: a good boxed wine better when you take the bag out, 316 00:14:47,948 --> 00:14:53,788 Speaker 1: Oh the bladder, that's cool. Yeah, it's better when you 317 00:14:53,788 --> 00:14:59,228 Speaker 1: don't call it, change the subject to appreciate it. There's 318 00:14:59,268 --> 00:15:01,988 Speaker 1: always a slew of topics to discuss from the weekend, 319 00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:04,188 Speaker 1: so it's time to put them together in another edition 320 00:15:04,228 --> 00:15:08,708 Speaker 1: of Monday Mission, Let's Go. Newly signed Brown safety one 321 00:15:08,788 --> 00:15:11,708 Speaker 1: Thornhill told reporters that he thinks all of the pieces 322 00:15:11,748 --> 00:15:14,828 Speaker 1: are here and that we have the capability of getting 323 00:15:14,828 --> 00:15:17,508 Speaker 1: there and making a splash in the playoffs and making 324 00:15:17,508 --> 00:15:20,988 Speaker 1: it to the Super Okay, based on this offseason and 325 00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:23,188 Speaker 1: free agency so far, which team do you think has 326 00:15:23,268 --> 00:15:25,388 Speaker 1: all the pieces to make it to the Super Bowl 327 00:15:25,468 --> 00:15:28,788 Speaker 1: next season? Jason, Sorry, Juan, I'm not going with the 328 00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:32,908 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. I'm going with the Dallas Cowboys. We talked 329 00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:34,748 Speaker 1: about earlier some of the guys that they were able 330 00:15:34,788 --> 00:15:36,948 Speaker 1: to keep that were there very on. We talked about 331 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:40,148 Speaker 1: them bringing Dan quinnback, moving on from Keller Moore, Mike 332 00:15:40,228 --> 00:15:43,548 Speaker 1: McCarthy calling the plays well. They also signed two veterans 333 00:15:43,668 --> 00:15:47,068 Speaker 1: via trade, Stefan Gilmore and Brandon Cooks, the guy we 334 00:15:47,188 --> 00:15:49,708 Speaker 1: just talked about, and the last sign that these two 335 00:15:49,708 --> 00:15:52,188 Speaker 1: guys teamed up for the first year together was two 336 00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:55,828 Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen. They both joined the New England Patriots. 337 00:15:56,228 --> 00:15:59,668 Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore comes over via free agency from the Buffalo Bills. 338 00:15:59,908 --> 00:16:02,828 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is traded from the Saints. That year. The 339 00:16:02,908 --> 00:16:05,668 Speaker 1: New England Patriots go to the Super Bowl means they 340 00:16:05,748 --> 00:16:07,708 Speaker 1: was gonna win the Super Bowl. They lost that game 341 00:16:07,748 --> 00:16:10,308 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles, but they made it to the 342 00:16:10,348 --> 00:16:12,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So I am going out on a lamb 343 00:16:12,588 --> 00:16:14,788 Speaker 1: saying these two guys are teaming up a few years 344 00:16:14,868 --> 00:16:17,588 Speaker 1: later to now join the Dallas Cowboys and they will 345 00:16:17,588 --> 00:16:20,268 Speaker 1: play a big role in the Dallas Cowboys getting to 346 00:16:20,308 --> 00:16:22,228 Speaker 1: the sus Bowl. I'm gonna say a team that probably 347 00:16:22,268 --> 00:16:25,948 Speaker 1: nobody's saying this about right now. I get to Miami Dolphins. Wow, 348 00:16:26,308 --> 00:16:29,788 Speaker 1: everybody forgets they were eight no in the first eight 349 00:16:29,828 --> 00:16:34,468 Speaker 1: games last season. The TOAs started infant. Obviously significant medical 350 00:16:34,548 --> 00:16:37,508 Speaker 1: concerns there in terms of the concussion that he suffered 351 00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:40,508 Speaker 1: last season, the second concussion that he suffered that ended 352 00:16:40,548 --> 00:16:43,428 Speaker 1: his season, that obviously has to be evaluated. But Miami, 353 00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:46,268 Speaker 1: based upon the opinion of their doctors, of the medical 354 00:16:46,268 --> 00:16:49,068 Speaker 1: experts that TWA has seen, are confident enough in his 355 00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:50,948 Speaker 1: recovery that they're going to pick up his fifth year option, 356 00:16:51,028 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 1: which is fully guaranteed. The moment that you do it. 357 00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:57,308 Speaker 1: That shows you that at minimum they believe Ta is 358 00:16:57,348 --> 00:16:58,908 Speaker 1: going to be able to get through this and is 359 00:16:58,948 --> 00:17:01,508 Speaker 1: going to be their quarterback four years to come. You 360 00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:02,908 Speaker 1: got Tyree Kill on that team is one of the 361 00:17:02,988 --> 00:17:06,108 Speaker 1: dynamic weapons in the game. You traded for Jalen Ramsey 362 00:17:06,148 --> 00:17:09,068 Speaker 1: to upgrade that defense. You got Vic Fangio, who is 363 00:17:09,108 --> 00:17:11,948 Speaker 1: still one of the best defensive minds in the game. 364 00:17:11,988 --> 00:17:14,748 Speaker 1: They brought over Ronaldo Hill had to coach the secondary 365 00:17:14,788 --> 00:17:16,988 Speaker 1: as well. They got talent at every single level that 366 00:17:16,988 --> 00:17:19,948 Speaker 1: you look at on that team, and Mike McDaniel. It's 367 00:17:19,988 --> 00:17:23,228 Speaker 1: pretty smart when it comes to design and offense. Doesn't 368 00:17:23,228 --> 00:17:25,748 Speaker 1: look as smart when Skyler Thompson is a third string 369 00:17:25,828 --> 00:17:29,148 Speaker 1: quarterback play although certainly we love Skyler's upside. Here's a 370 00:17:29,188 --> 00:17:31,348 Speaker 1: good game, but it's it's hard when you when you're 371 00:17:31,348 --> 00:17:33,468 Speaker 1: down to your third quarterback in that type of situation 372 00:17:33,508 --> 00:17:36,148 Speaker 1: on a playoff stage, everything is dialed up here. It's 373 00:17:36,188 --> 00:17:38,788 Speaker 1: about one thing. It's about Ta staying on the field, 374 00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:40,628 Speaker 1: and not just staying on the field. But we're capturing 375 00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:42,628 Speaker 1: what he was at the start of last season, not 376 00:17:42,668 --> 00:17:45,068 Speaker 1: what he was when he came back from the first concussion, 377 00:17:45,108 --> 00:17:47,148 Speaker 1: which was not quite the same guy that we'd seen 378 00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,868 Speaker 1: in the early going feels tenuous, heels tenuous. I'm nervous 379 00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:52,188 Speaker 1: about the Dolphins. They have great players too. On the field. 380 00:17:52,388 --> 00:17:54,428 Speaker 1: We're picking a super Bowl team that comes out of 381 00:17:54,468 --> 00:17:56,428 Speaker 1: Orang shocks the world. I'm gonna deliberately go to the 382 00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:58,868 Speaker 1: NFC because the FC is just too difficult, too much. 383 00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:00,388 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this with 384 00:18:00,428 --> 00:18:04,388 Speaker 1: my chest out. I'm talking about that. It's right, Lions. 385 00:18:04,468 --> 00:18:06,068 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Last year. I'll say it again. 386 00:18:06,068 --> 00:18:07,308 Speaker 1: At the end of the regular season, they were a 387 00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:10,508 Speaker 1: top five team in the entire NFL, Top five, NFCAFC. 388 00:18:11,028 --> 00:18:13,668 Speaker 1: David Montgomery is a really good running back. They got him. 389 00:18:13,868 --> 00:18:15,948 Speaker 1: C J. Gardner Johnson is a difference maker. You tell 390 00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:17,748 Speaker 1: him he's not going to be out there getting people's 391 00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:20,068 Speaker 1: ear holes making plays. They were very good at the 392 00:18:20,148 --> 00:18:21,748 Speaker 1: end of last year. They'll be very good in a 393 00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:24,108 Speaker 1: division that now loses the greatest quarterback I've ever seen 394 00:18:24,148 --> 00:18:26,788 Speaker 1: in my life. The Lions. Tell me why I'm wrong. 395 00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:30,188 Speaker 1: Jared Goff was a steady hand. They got draft picks. 396 00:18:30,228 --> 00:18:32,148 Speaker 1: They're gonna get better. They got a coach, they got 397 00:18:32,148 --> 00:18:34,468 Speaker 1: an atmosphere, they got everything. The Detroit Lions vidic for 398 00:18:34,508 --> 00:18:37,708 Speaker 1: some team back, Holy bleep, this team's in the super Bowl, 399 00:18:37,868 --> 00:18:39,828 Speaker 1: the Lions. That's my answer. I'm sticking through it. I 400 00:18:39,948 --> 00:18:42,508 Speaker 1: like it. I started to go Jaguars, but the AFC 401 00:18:43,268 --> 00:18:44,948 Speaker 1: is really tough. I like the Jacks too, but a 402 00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:46,708 Speaker 1: lot of people like the Jacks. I like the Lions. 403 00:18:46,788 --> 00:18:48,828 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, thank you. Okay, we know 404 00:18:48,948 --> 00:18:52,268 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams speaking of Lions. Former Lions passionate about a 405 00:18:52,308 --> 00:18:55,188 Speaker 1: lot of things other than football. So after signing with 406 00:18:55,188 --> 00:18:57,428 Speaker 1: the Saints, the former Lions running back was more than 407 00:18:57,508 --> 00:19:01,148 Speaker 1: happy to explain a little more about his Pokemon had 408 00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:07,348 Speaker 1: two reporters here. You are going to become an anime expert, 409 00:19:07,508 --> 00:19:11,228 Speaker 1: all right, So first, this right here is Pokemon. Don't 410 00:19:11,228 --> 00:19:14,948 Speaker 1: you say Pokemon one time? All right? Pokemon? All right? 411 00:19:15,348 --> 00:19:17,468 Speaker 1: But this is Evie though, so it's basically a cat. 412 00:19:17,588 --> 00:19:19,588 Speaker 1: This is how they start off, though, But Evie can 413 00:19:19,668 --> 00:19:24,828 Speaker 1: like evolve into like eight different types of Pokemon basically, 414 00:19:25,308 --> 00:19:32,828 Speaker 1: but Evie though, eve E, all right, get it right? 415 00:19:32,948 --> 00:19:35,188 Speaker 1: Got it?

Jason, I 417 00:19:38,508 --> 00:19:41,348 Speaker 1: think everybody here could probably guess what I'm going with 418 00:19:41,428 --> 00:19:44,148 Speaker 1: and it is going to be sneakers. I am in 419 00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,908 Speaker 1: love with sneakers right here. This is a pair of 420 00:19:46,948 --> 00:19:49,988 Speaker 1: Travis Scott fors Jordans forres right there.
