Speaker 1: Pelt from the mother Ship will join us. It was
Speaker 1: a year ago tonight that we had Rudy Gobert the
Speaker 1: Thunder the Utah Jazz and they shut things down and
Speaker 1: Van Peasey was doing Sports Center did a great job
Speaker 1: anchoring that night. So we'll talk to him about what
Speaker 1: that was like a year ago. Mike Florio Pro Football
Speaker 1: Talk will join us coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about what Dak Prescott's contract is going to
Speaker 1: mean for Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield, because
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson agent, his mom is probably looking
Speaker 1: at that deal, going, oh, it's nice. Dak got a
Speaker 1: nice little deal there. Wait till you see mine and
Speaker 1: Josh Allen same thing, because those are two quarterbacks that
Speaker 1: are held in higher regard than Dak Prescott. But Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: I don't think Baker is going to get those numbers.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk to Florio about that coming up. NFL
Speaker 1: Franchise Tag Day came and went and some interesting names
Speaker 1: got the tag. The Bears Allen Robinson might be the
Speaker 1: most underrated wide receiver in the game, The Giants Leonard Williams,
Speaker 1: the Jags, Cam Robinson, just a name a few. The Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: I think they announced to the NFL they're going to
Speaker 1: run this back. They wanted to make sure that they
Speaker 1: kept the offense in tac bringing back Chris Godwin, not
Speaker 1: defensive end Shack Barrett, but they'll work on a deal
Speaker 1: to bring him back, and that means Barrett hits the
Speaker 1: open market if they can't get a deal done. Keep
Speaker 1: an eye on the Lions Kenny Galladay, he might get
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. Steelers Bud Dupree, the Chargers
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, They're also headed to the market. Free agency
Speaker 1: franchise tag sometimes require a PhD In economics to understand
Speaker 1: because they have their own language. Where else do we
Speaker 1: use the word tender in the world of sports, And remember,
Speaker 1: nobody knows free agents like their own teams. The smart
Speaker 1: gms usually don't let the players, the great players hit
Speaker 1: free agency unless they're not that interested in bringing them back.
Speaker 1: So even though there's going to be some exciting names
Speaker 1: on that list, buyer beware to some Most of the
Speaker 1: deals look good now, but you never know which ones
Speaker 1: will actually work out. Mclovin, you got a poll question
Speaker 1: for me today. This program is brought to you by
Speaker 1: built Bar. Sixteen grams of protein, low calorie, low carb
Speaker 1: and it tastes great. It's like a candy bar. Builtbar
Speaker 1: dot Com Promo co DP twenty twenty percent off your
Speaker 1: first order. Okay, we've been workshopping a basketball one, but
Speaker 1: I'm saved that because I have a couple of NFL
Speaker 1: questions before you get to that. Okay, this is a
Speaker 1: New York centric who feels more hopeless today the New
Speaker 1: York Jets or the New York Giants. Giants win the
Speaker 1: news they gave their pressor yesterday. Yeah, Dave Gettlman, their
Speaker 1: GM said that they have a decision to make on
Speaker 1: whether they bring back well Daniel Jones and sae Quon Barkley.
Speaker 1: Right here is Dave Gettlman, the Giants GM on their
Speaker 1: quarterbacking situation. You do your evaluation. We've had Daniel for
Speaker 1: two years. We've done the evaluation on him, and we
Speaker 1: really believe he's the guy. You know, no reason to go. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean everybody, you know, what we're doing is in
Speaker 1: fantasy football. We're not playing. We're not doing that. And
Speaker 1: again I say this all the time. The kid just
Speaker 1: finished his second year of NFL football. All right, how
Speaker 1: many of us after two years at our new job,
Speaker 1: we're great. No, we all start at point A and
Speaker 1: we hopefully get to point Z. But the one common
Speaker 1: denominator is it takes time. Everybody's going to understand that
Speaker 1: where we believe in Daniel and that's where it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're back, and you're guy. I'm more curious about sae
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley than I am Daniel Jones right now. I
Speaker 1: think they saw glimpses with Daniel Jones, you know, the
Speaker 1: fumbling issues, trying to you know, their quarterbacks. Dave Craig
Speaker 1: played a long time in the NFL, but he had
Speaker 1: problems with fumbling, and I don't know if those things
Speaker 1: are fixable, which sounds strange of just holding onto the
Speaker 1: football as a quarterback. We saw tike Ball Harbor had
Speaker 1: a problem with fumbling, but they changed how he held
Speaker 1: the football and he became one of the great running
Speaker 1: backs in his era. As far as a quarterback who
Speaker 1: doesn't hold on to the football, I don't know how
Speaker 1: fixable that is. But Daniel Jones is your quarterback. Sequon
Speaker 1: Barkley is really the key because I don't want to
Speaker 1: give him another contract, not yet, but they're going to
Speaker 1: have to make that decision here coming up. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mcglevin another poll related to this, and I do think
Speaker 1: the Jets might be in a better situation because I
Speaker 1: know what the Giants have. The Jets, they're still the
Speaker 1: possibility of Do they trade Sam Darnold, Do they draft
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Do they do something really dynamic? Does somebody
Speaker 1: give them a few draft picks to move up to
Speaker 1: number two. That's what I'm curious at about, because you've
Speaker 1: got a proven GM, you got a new head coach,
Speaker 1: and maybe you have an ability to hit the reset
Speaker 1: by drafting a rookie quarterback. I would say the Jets
Speaker 1: believe it or not, because I sort of know what
Speaker 1: I have with the Giants, and I don't know how
Speaker 1: good that is. It feels like it's average. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I feel better about the
Speaker 1: Giants because they feel historically like a more stable franchise,
Speaker 1: a more generally competitive franchise. But I just looked they've
Speaker 1: made the playoffs twice in the past twelve seasons. That's
Speaker 1: really bad. Yeah, I mean that's that's a lot worse
Speaker 1: run of their history. Yeah, mcclub, it'sn't weird that I'd
Speaker 1: be more excited about Sam Darnold than Daniel Jones. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Like Sam Darnold in a new place,
Speaker 1: like feels like a more higher ceiling than than Daniel Jones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm high on either one of them,
Speaker 1: but it feels like you can see the embryonic stages
Speaker 1: of something that's promising. With Daniel Jones. He's athletic, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can be great. It feels
Speaker 1: like everybody's looking at their quarterbacking situation and they want
Speaker 1: to know, can that gud be great? And this is
Speaker 1: the Patrick Mahomes effect. Yeah, I don't. I have two
Speaker 1: years of patience right now, that's it, and then I go, man,
Speaker 1: trying to move on maybe three years at the most. Well,
Speaker 1: we've sort of seen Sam Darnold. I think Sam would
Speaker 1: do better in another organization, another system, And the Jets
Speaker 1: get your quarterback. If you're sold on that quarterback, don't
Speaker 1: take one because you go, we may never be up
Speaker 1: here again. Well, you're the Jets, you probably will be.
Speaker 1: But if you're sold on Sam Darnold, you use that
Speaker 1: second pick overall for something dynamic, or you trade that
Speaker 1: pick that can help you. But you've got to be
Speaker 1: really good at drafting, Like that's the key. These teams
Speaker 1: that have draft picks and we go, oh boy, they
Speaker 1: got a lot of draft picks. Are they any good
Speaker 1: at drafting. That's usually what it comes down to. Are
Speaker 1: you any good at drafting? And a lot of these
Speaker 1: teams aren't like the Cleveland Browns for years, but they
Speaker 1: got a lot of draft picks. Yeah, who they take? Well,
Speaker 1: they took Brandon Whedon. Oh remember they took some cornerback
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma State who was out of the league
Speaker 1: in like a year or two. I think that was
Speaker 1: the ninth pick. Overall. We were all excited that year
Speaker 1: because they had a couple picks. Who was that Justin Gilbert? Baby?
Speaker 1: That's right? Yes, yes, Ton. Aren't you a little more
Speaker 1: hopeful if you're the Giants? Has in the immediate future?
Speaker 1: Just from from a division standpoint, I know the Cowboys
Speaker 1: got back back to a new deal, but just as
Speaker 1: far as the division that's less and more competitive they
Speaker 1: want to be on the Giants. Well, if you're saying
Speaker 1: you could win nine games and win the division, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, because you have. The Jets are in a
Speaker 1: division with Buffalo. Miami's getting better as well in New
Speaker 1: England we think will get better again. But as far
Speaker 1: as how good is my team? I like the upside
Speaker 1: for the Jets more than the Giants, like I don't
Speaker 1: go boy. You know, I'd take the Giants because they
Speaker 1: played a crappy division. That wasn't the question like who's
Speaker 1: more likely to win their division? The Giants? But who
Speaker 1: can build a better team right now? I would look
Speaker 1: at the Jets if they're smart with what they do.
Speaker 1: I like the upside with that. You know, the Giants
Speaker 1: have a running back that you know you're going to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on. He's a star. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of twenty six jerseys in New York.
Speaker 1: But the Jets, you know, they had the Levy on
Speaker 1: Bell situation. They got out from underneath, that got out
Speaker 1: from Adam Gays. Maybe it feels like there, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a breath or fresh air for the Jets. Believe
Speaker 1: it or not. Yeah, point I had that idea a
Speaker 1: few months ago that the Jets and the Giants would
Speaker 1: merge franchises and see if they can put a good
Speaker 1: team together. That didn't get a lot of tracks. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's illegal. Saquon Barkley, though in three
Speaker 1: seasons he's missed one third of his games, he's missed
Speaker 1: over thirty percent of his games, and he's an average
Speaker 1: running back when he plays above average running back. You know,
Speaker 1: he averages seventy five yards the game. That's twenty five
Speaker 1: fewer yards than Zekiel Elliott. Well, he was pretty good
Speaker 1: his first year, Yeah he had, Yeah, he first two years.
Speaker 1: His numbers are okay, thirteen hundred yards and a thousand yards,
Speaker 1: a lot of receptions, yes, but overall, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's not worth fifty million dollars. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: to sign him up to another contract, and he's coming
Speaker 1: off knee surgery as well. But yeah, they have some
Speaker 1: decisions to make there. But feels like they got their
Speaker 1: guy in Daniel Jones. And I mean that that's the
Speaker 1: big hurdle. Do you have the quarterback you truly believe
Speaker 1: in and if you do, then you start to improve
Speaker 1: the roster. It's these teams that are I think we
Speaker 1: ran down the list. There are probably ten teams who
Speaker 1: were sold on their quarterbacks right now. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of teams who weren't sold on their quarterbacks. Weren't the
Speaker 1: Seahawks on that list, though they were they were By
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't bring this up yesterday. We had
Speaker 1: other things to talk about. But the Russell Wilson situation
Speaker 1: with the season ticket holders where the owner sends out
Speaker 1: this three paragraph missive and talking about the excitement and
Speaker 1: the new season and singles out DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator. I think the running backs coach
Speaker 1: got mentioned. Russell Wilson did not get mentioned in that
Speaker 1: letter to your season ticket holders, and I thought that's
Speaker 1: really petty on the part of the Seattle Seahawks. Keep
Speaker 1: in mind, Russell Wilson was the NFL Man of the
Speaker 1: Year and he doesn't even make it into your season
Speaker 1: ticket holder newsletter. Do you think that was like an
Speaker 1: accidental omission? Probably not very petty, very petty on the
Speaker 1: part of Seattle. You're supposed to be the grown ups. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Russell's ups. That should Russ be calling out his offensive line? No?
Speaker 1: Is he part of the problem holding onto the ball
Speaker 1: too long? Yes, all of those things. But you're the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: the ownership, and you put out this letter to your
Speaker 1: season ticket holders and you forget the NFL Man of
Speaker 1: the Year, and then you realize they didn't forget. That
Speaker 1: was okay, you want to go public, We're gonna go
Speaker 1: public as well. Yeah, boy, I'm gonna go grade school
Speaker 1: on you. And you know, I love me some Russ Wilson,
Speaker 1: but you started it. That's what I would say if
Speaker 1: I was Seahawks management or a Seahawks owner. I pay
Speaker 1: you thirty five million dollars a year. You're under contract.
Speaker 1: We're going to do our best to help you out.
Speaker 1: But I have people who are my GM. I have
Speaker 1: a player personnel person. You know, you do your job
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and I'll do this. But if you say
Speaker 1: I want to give you a list of teams I
Speaker 1: want to be with, then let's let's go back at it.
Speaker 1: In the media, That's what the ownership probably said to himself.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I pay this guy a lot of
Speaker 1: money and he doesn't want to be here, or he
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't want to be here. Yeah, but your ownership,
Speaker 1: you don't go public because he went public? Yeah you did. No,
Speaker 1: you always answer no, not like that. Most of these owners.
Speaker 1: Who's the owner of the Seahawks? He taste he's probably
Speaker 1: some rich guy, right, I think it's no. Remember likely
Speaker 1: it was Paul Allen passed away. It's his family. So
Speaker 1: Steve Allen or whatever the name is. Oh, it's a her. Her,
Speaker 1: she's the owner. She's probably upset that like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know they took this, he took this public. But if
Speaker 1: your kid does something wrong, you don't go you know, hey,
Speaker 1: don't smack your sister. Now I'm gonna smack you. In
Speaker 1: the old days, Yes, that did happen in my households
Speaker 1: right with Hey, you hit your brother, I'm gonna hit
Speaker 1: you with a frying pan. Yeah. See, the great school
Speaker 1: analogy is perfect too, because, like he said, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the adults in the room. Yes, like, Okay, Russell,
Speaker 1: have a temper tantion if you want, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: do this. I also don't think that the owner of
Speaker 1: the place is like so about the email that we're
Speaker 1: sending to this season ticket holders, what are we including
Speaker 1: in that? Like it doesn't that feel like it's more
Speaker 1: well a lower level decision. Yes, I think she signed it.
Speaker 1: I think that's one of those where they go, oh,
Speaker 1: we got some documents for you to sign it, and
Speaker 1: literally signed it, or he signed it. Maybe he signed it. Yes,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think I don't think that some twenty
Speaker 1: eight year old producer and I think the owner of
Speaker 1: the Seahawks sat down and went, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: single out our new offensive coordinated or a new running
Speaker 1: backs coach, but make sure we don't put Wilson in there. No,
Speaker 1: but I think that now I'm going to go back
Speaker 1: to being a billionaire. Okay, I think the owner, it's
Speaker 1: Jody Allen and her team absolutely were informed or at
Speaker 1: some point signed off on it and specifically knew that
Speaker 1: Russell was not included. I don't think that's an accident
Speaker 1: at all. But why make it worse? It's even it's
Speaker 1: even Stephen going back to No, no, no, I don't know, No,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that for a second from Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: the old you started it. Yeah, it worked for me.
Speaker 1: That never goes well though. Plus when you do payback,
Speaker 1: payback should be a little worse, It should be more harsh.
Speaker 1: Being the bigger person has never worked out for people.
Speaker 1: You gotta go back and hit him. I love Russ,
Speaker 1: not anymore. No, Now, Russ has to come back at
Speaker 1: you because of what you just did. See. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to spice this up so it becomes a bear in
Speaker 1: the next He's gonna make fun of you for having
Speaker 1: one good eye. That's fine. Yeah, I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: do something. I think next time he's on he's going
Speaker 1: to have his hand over one of his eyes or
Speaker 1: have an eye patch on there. He could play the
Speaker 1: game with one eye tied the back. Yeah, he's like
Speaker 1: Trevor Bauer. Yeah, go Hawks. Yes, mclove, I know how
Speaker 1: they could really get to Russ. Guess who became a
Speaker 1: free agent yesterday? Cornerback Tennessee Malcolm el Flare with Malcolm
Speaker 1: Butler and free agency? Dear whoa hardcore? That is mean spirited?
Speaker 1: Russ started it, I guess. By the way, here's his
Speaker 1: stat that you might only hear on this program. You'll
Speaker 1: hear it here and then you'll hear it someplace else.
Speaker 1: The individual defender in the NFL who gave up the
Speaker 1: most passing yards last year, Malcolm Butler. He gave up
Speaker 1: nine hundred twenty three passing yards. I didn't know they
Speaker 1: kept individual stats like that, but I got that stat.
Speaker 1: Our good, good guy Ethan gave that to him. You
Speaker 1: remember Ethan? You know what he does on this show, right,
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Yeah, yes, McLean. Does Malcolm Butler
Speaker 1: have a lifetime pass for one play? Like? I feel
Speaker 1: like yeah? But he still caught that ball in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, like that guy could do to Oroga. Say
Speaker 1: what you did? Lifetime pass? Oh the lifetime pass? He
Speaker 1: intercepted it. Yeah, Like I feel like Macolm. The rest
Speaker 1: of his career has been a bit of an afterthought.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how good he is. He Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl level. I think he might have been. He made
Speaker 1: one Pro Bowl his second year in the league. He
Speaker 1: starts sixteen games. He's still a starter. Yeah, um, yes, time.
Speaker 1: I think that Seattle letters should have included a list
Speaker 1: of four other quarterbacks that the team might like to have.
Speaker 1: If Russell Wilson just happens to understand, that's good. Now,
Speaker 1: that is good. Let's just leave him out. Just say
Speaker 1: if this one could play in Watson's or if we
Speaker 1: need a new quarterback, here's four to quarterbacks that we
Speaker 1: would like to maybe bring in. Well, now it can
Speaker 1: only be three because Dallas resigned. Dak Prescott, you're gonna
Speaker 1: make a statement to go all in. I like it.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Yeah, Derek Carr, that's pretty good. Time. All right,
Speaker 1: Florida will join us. Coming up? What's Lamar Jackson gonna
Speaker 1: get paid? Josh Allen Baker Mayfield, We'll talk to him
Speaker 1: about some of the comings and goings free agency. I'll
Speaker 1: pay tribute to Gonzaga. They were down double digits to
Speaker 1: b YU last night and came back as they go
Speaker 1: into the tournament undefeated. Yes and club. Yeah, we have
Speaker 1: a Gonzaga related poll that I'm gonna save. It was
Speaker 1: always one of those Gonzaga or is it Gonzaga? Is
Speaker 1: it the Zags? It's the Zag It's like twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: Is it Gonzager Gonzaga. Well, they're the Zags, so I'm
Speaker 1: assuming it's Gonzaga. But you know, you go to Gonzaga
Speaker 1: to play basketball, it's rare when they have a one
Speaker 1: and done. They have a one and done this year.
Speaker 1: Jalen Suggs is a one and donner. I think Zach
Speaker 1: Collins might have been the first one and donner with Gonzaga.
Speaker 1: But you know, the Zags are the team to beat
Speaker 1: this year, number one overall seed. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: Florio joins us. Coming up, we'll have a play of
Speaker 1: the day, a couple more stats of the day as well,
Speaker 1: Scott Van Pelt from the mother Ship. A little bit
Speaker 1: later on, we'll look at Duke's basketball tournament hopes. Coming up,
Speaker 1: We have a couple of suggestions here for the selection committee.

Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor and listen to Straight Fire with
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. At the start of the show, we
Speaker 1: were talking about the Giants. Dave Gettlman, their GM is
Speaker 1: all in on Daniel Jones, and I said, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's fix a ball with fumbles, but he
Speaker 1: had eleven fumbles last year. Derek Carr had eleven, Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill had ten, Lamar Jackson ten, Carson Wentz had ten.
Speaker 1: But you got to back your quarterback. I just don't
Speaker 1: know if he backs his running back, say Quon Barkley,
Speaker 1: because I certainly don't want to go into a second
Speaker 1: contract with a running back. But yeah, we were talking
Speaker 1: about who's in better shape, the Jets of the Giants,
Speaker 1: and I said, division wise, the Giants would be because
Speaker 1: you can win nine games and win that division. But
Speaker 1: I think the Jets with a new coach and experienced GM.
Speaker 1: They got some draft picks there, they got some interesting
Speaker 1: decisions to make. Let's bring in Mike oreal here, Joe
Speaker 1: just on the program. Let me let me start with that.
Speaker 1: Who's in better shape, Mike, Jets or Giants. I liked
Speaker 1: your point about the Giants being in the NFC East.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be in very good shape to
Speaker 1: be in good shape in that division. But I'm intrigued
Speaker 1: by what the Jets can do. Dan after hearing our
Speaker 1: guy Chris Simms last week praise Zach Wilson, the BYU quarterback,
Speaker 1: the presumptive number two pick, if the Jets do indeed
Speaker 1: take him and move on from Sam Darnold. This is
Speaker 1: a franchise that's been looking for a franchise quarterback since
Speaker 1: Joe Namath, for crying out loud. If they get this opportunity,
Speaker 1: and they seize this opportunity and Wilson becomes what Simms
Speaker 1: sees in him, and I think the Jets are in
Speaker 1: pretty good shape. Robert Sali, highly respected coach, The team
Speaker 1: being built from the inside out by Joe Douglas. Mike mcagnan.
Speaker 1: The former GM was doing too much building from the
Speaker 1: outside in for example, signing Levy on Bell when they
Speaker 1: had no offensive line. What are you thinking when you
Speaker 1: do that? So I like what the Jets are doing.
Speaker 1: We're just so conditioned to think the Jets are going
Speaker 1: to stink that it's hard to imagine them being any good.
Speaker 1: We were also talking about what's going on with Seattle
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson, where the newsletter comes out to the
Speaker 1: season ticket holders and the owner signs off on, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's mention the new offensive coordinator, the running backs coach,
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf and oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: we'll just leave out the NFL Man of the Year,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Do you think this is by design? Mike, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: this is the recovering lawyer in me talking, and I
Speaker 1: practiced for eighteen years before abandoning it. Thank God for this,
Speaker 1: But any lawyer with any influence over that organization would say,
Speaker 1: if there's any chance we're not going to have this guy,
Speaker 1: we better not include him in any materials aimed at
Speaker 1: getting customers to buy season tickets, because the last thing
Speaker 1: we need is some smartass filing a class action lawsuit
Speaker 1: seeking a full refund on all tickets. Because you led
Speaker 1: us to believe that Russell Wilson was going to be
Speaker 1: on the team when you knew or should have known,
Speaker 1: that he wasn't gonna be on the team. It could
Speaker 1: be that simple, but it tells me that it's serious
Speaker 1: enough that they thought it would be prudent and smart
Speaker 1: and wise and potentially something that would save a lot
Speaker 1: of money to not mention Russell Wilson. So no one
Speaker 1: could say you led us to believe he was going
Speaker 1: to be here and then you traded it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: this isn't nefarious on their part. This is just being
Speaker 1: smart on Seattle's part. I think being smart is not
Speaker 1: mentioning Russell Wilson. Being nefarious is mentioning all these other people.
Speaker 1: That's where it becomes, well, who are you're gonna go
Speaker 1: out and see Mike? I mean, you got twist. You
Speaker 1: gotta twist the knife. You know you got to you
Speaker 1: gotta market Shane Walter in the new offensive coordinator if
Speaker 1: you want to sell tickets. Guys, what are you thinking?
Speaker 1: But I think this is a manifestation of that frustration
Speaker 1: they've got to be feeling because he'd been twisting the
Speaker 1: knife on them. This is their chance to give it
Speaker 1: a little twist back, Jerry Jones is getting credit for Hey,
Speaker 1: I know what the salary cap is going to be,
Speaker 1: so therefore I can spend this money on Dak Scott.
Speaker 1: And it made me wonder Jerry knew about this? Do
Speaker 1: other owners know about this? Why is it that Jerry's
Speaker 1: the only one who gets credit for Hey, I know
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. I can spend this money.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard one other owner get credit for a
Speaker 1: signing because he knows what the salary cap is going
Speaker 1: to be. Is this insider trading? Mike, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: mentioned this. This is the stupidest take that I've heard
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the Dak Prescott's signing, that Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones somehow has inside information that no one else possesses
Speaker 1: that there's going to be an influx of cash from
Speaker 1: new TV contracts. We all know that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: They've been talking for weeks that these deals are impending.
Speaker 1: Some expect them to be announced this week. This isn't
Speaker 1: a secret. Yeah, no, crap. Almost said the other word.
Speaker 1: There's going to be more money available in future years,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna push these cap dollars into future years,
Speaker 1: and the CAP's going to keep going up. That's a
Speaker 1: no brainer that everybody knows. That's what's happening between the
Speaker 1: TV deals and gambling. The cap is going to keep
Speaker 1: going up and up and up. This year is a
Speaker 1: temporary dip, and next year it's going to start going up.
Speaker 1: And by the time this Dak Prescott deal expires, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot higher than it is now.
Speaker 1: And he's going to be in great position after four
Speaker 1: years to get paid again and to get paid even
Speaker 1: more than he's getting paid now. Who has a better contract,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Patrick Mahomes. Without question, it's Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: Look Dan last year when the Patrick Mahomes deal came out.
Speaker 1: Twelve years of a commitment, and it's not a two
Speaker 1: way commitment. It's a one way commitment. The team can
Speaker 1: rip it up whenever they want and move on. And
Speaker 1: there's a point where it would make sense for the
Speaker 1: team to do it if for whatever reason, he's no
Speaker 1: longer a special talent. We believe that he will be,
Speaker 1: and he believes that he will be. But I remember
Speaker 1: that the Mahomes deal came out before the window closed
Speaker 1: on the Dak Prescott negotiations last July fifteen on a
Speaker 1: long term deal, and he went with the franchise tag instead.
Speaker 1: And I asked someone in the know, if you take
Speaker 1: this contract and you scratch out Patrick Mahomes and you
Speaker 1: put in Dak Prescott, would Dak take it. And the
Speaker 1: answer was unequivocally no, you don't do that deal. That
Speaker 1: Mahomes deal is an outlier. It's an albatross, and it
Speaker 1: was done with one goal in mind, so his agents
Speaker 1: could say, we negotiated the first half billion dollar contract
Speaker 1: in league history. It's a bad deal. I mean, think
Speaker 1: about this, Over the first four years of Dax deal,
Speaker 1: He's gonna make more than fifty million more than Mahomes
Speaker 1: over the first four years of his deal. And when
Speaker 1: Dax deal's done after the twenty twenty fourth season, Mahomes
Speaker 1: is still signed for seven more years. He's counting on
Speaker 1: Clark Hunt, the owner of the team, being willing to
Speaker 1: tear up that contract at the appropriate time. That's fine.
Speaker 1: Some owners will do it. Other owners won't. Jerry Jones wouldn't.
Speaker 1: So that's the leap of faith Mahomes took. So without question,
Speaker 1: Dax deal is better sixty six million dollars signing bonus record,
Speaker 1: seventy five million paid out this year, record ninety five
Speaker 1: million fully guaranteed record and only a four year deal.
Speaker 1: If you're Dak Prescott, do you ask Jerry if he
Speaker 1: can give one of those golf checks? Are they handed
Speaker 1: out and said that huge check like for just it
Speaker 1: says seventy five million dollars and he hands it to Dak.
Speaker 1: I would love that photo up because you know Jerry's
Speaker 1: you know, although we haven't heard from Jerry, I thought
Speaker 1: he would take a victory lamp here Mike. Why not?
Speaker 1: Well this because look, dam they screwed this up. And
Speaker 1: this is the flip side of the Jared Goff cautionary tale.
Speaker 1: Because after Goff had three seasons in and people were saying, well,
Speaker 1: he's going to get a new contract, there were plenty
Speaker 1: of people in the league and in the media is saying,
Speaker 1: why are the Rams going to give this guy a
Speaker 1: market value contract? At some point one of these teams
Speaker 1: has to say we're not going to do this. We're
Speaker 1: not just going to make you the next highest paid
Speaker 1: player in league history just because your contract is due
Speaker 1: to be renegotiated and you've you've been on the right
Speaker 1: side of pass fail. The Rams did it, and now
Speaker 1: they regret it, and they're unloading Jared Goff plus something.
Speaker 1: You know, they're giving something up in net trade assets
Speaker 1: to get get rid of his contract. The other side
Speaker 1: it is, when you know you have your guy, you
Speaker 1: gotta move quickly to get him signed. And the longer
Speaker 1: you wait, the more expensive it gets. And the Cowboys
Speaker 1: waited and waited and delayed and delayed, and they kept
Speaker 1: thinking that Dak Prescott was going to wake up one
Speaker 1: day and see it their way, take less money, except
Speaker 1: the fact that being the Cowboys quarterback leads to all
Speaker 1: sorts of other earning opportunities and just say, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: accept whatever you want to pay us. And he never did,
Speaker 1: and he finally had them in a spot where they
Speaker 1: had no choice but to give him this contract. So
Speaker 1: it's nothing to be proud of. It's their own fault.
Speaker 1: If they'd have done this in twenty nineteen, they would
Speaker 1: have done it for a hell of a lot less
Speaker 1: than what they're paying now. He's Mike Florio Pro Football
Speaker 1: Talk Live co host and you can go to his
Speaker 1: website pro football talk dot Com. All right, what's this
Speaker 1: mean for the next group of quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Who gets paid, who doesn't? Well? And this
Speaker 1: is what's fascinating about the Dak deal because the quarterback
Speaker 1: market was irrelevant to his leverage and his contract. His
Speaker 1: leverage was driven by the second tag and the likely
Speaker 1: hood that next year the Cowboys wouldn't have been able
Speaker 1: to tag him again and he would have become a
Speaker 1: free agent. That's what determined his number. But now that
Speaker 1: he's getting four years, one sixty, it becomes relevant to
Speaker 1: these other quarterbacks. But you know, here's where the challenge
Speaker 1: is for the Bills with Alan, the Ravens with Jackson,
Speaker 1: and the Browns with Mayfield. First, you got to be
Speaker 1: sure it's the guy. Is this the guy? And I
Speaker 1: think Ravens, Bills, Yes, Browns. I'd be tempted to give
Speaker 1: it another year, all due respect to Baker Mayfield. But
Speaker 1: once you know it's the guy, you got to move
Speaker 1: and you got to get it done, and you got
Speaker 1: to put a number on the table that he'll take,
Speaker 1: because if he waits, it's only going to get more
Speaker 1: expensive to keep him. Lamar Jackson is four years away
Speaker 1: from having the Ravens in the position that Prescott had
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So now there's an opportunity for the Ravens
Speaker 1: to get something done that Lamar Jackson won't say no to.
Speaker 1: And this is where it's important to have a good agent.
Speaker 1: You need to have a good agent who is going
Speaker 1: to fight with you or fight for you, not with you,
Speaker 1: fight for you against the team, but potentially fight with
Speaker 1: you when you want to take that offer and the
Speaker 1: agents saying no, it's not right yet, let's not do it,
Speaker 1: let's not give in. And Lamar Jackson doesn't have an agent.
Speaker 1: And my concern is the Ravens is going to make
Speaker 1: him an offer that blows him away, that isn't nearly
Speaker 1: as good as it could be, but without an agent
Speaker 1: to slow him down, he's going to jump on it.
Speaker 1: And that would be a huge win for the Ravens
Speaker 1: if that happens. There's talk about Tom Brady restructuring his deal.
Speaker 1: What if Brady said, pay me a million dollars. Oh,
Speaker 1: he could do that. He could do that. But if
Speaker 1: you say, if he says, look, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: a million, because what is left for Brady another super Bowl?
Speaker 1: That's it? He doesn't care about the all time passing numbers,
Speaker 1: and he cares about how many Super Bowls I put up,
Speaker 1: and he's going to get endorsements. But if he said that,
Speaker 1: now you can bring back Shack Barrett. Now you know
Speaker 1: you franchised Godwin, like you can keep the band together
Speaker 1: here because Tom wants to make one more run here
Speaker 1: at least, why not do something like that. That's exact
Speaker 1: actually what Drew Brees has done. We just assumed he
Speaker 1: was doing it as a cap favor to the Saints
Speaker 1: and that he wasn't playing, still hasn't retired. If Breese
Speaker 1: would somehow play, He's gone from twenty five to one
Speaker 1: point seven five. That's the minimum for anyone with seven
Speaker 1: or more years of service. That's the least that you
Speaker 1: can pay someone. Tom Brady could do that if he
Speaker 1: wants to. He could say, I know, I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: make twenty five million this year. I'm just going to
Speaker 1: take one point seven five million. You can have the rest,
Speaker 1: keep the team around me. It's more important to me
Speaker 1: than this point to get to number eight, not to
Speaker 1: make twenty five million dollars. And yeah, he could do
Speaker 1: that if he wanted to, and that would be something
Speaker 1: if he would do that, and that would put them
Speaker 1: in a great position to keep all the guys that
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. But just imagine what that would
Speaker 1: sound like if Brady said, look, I want to keep
Speaker 1: the guys together. What that would mean for that team
Speaker 1: in that locker room. Not that they aren't, you know,
Speaker 1: following him as the pipe piper, but I mean, that's
Speaker 1: pretty that'd be pretty revolutionary. Well, it's and it's kind
Speaker 1: of what he did in New England. There's two school
Speaker 1: the thought on why he took less in New England.
Speaker 1: Some would say he was being selfless. He wanted to
Speaker 1: have enough players around him. You want to have depth
Speaker 1: when your starters get injured. You don't want to slap
Speaker 1: some undrafted guy who's never proven himself into the starting
Speaker 1: lineup because of injury necessity. You know. Part of it too,
Speaker 1: was he was always in fear of Bill Belichick waking
Speaker 1: up one day and saying, we're paying this guy too
Speaker 1: much money. We can't afford this. We can do we
Speaker 1: can do better dollar for dollar with someone else. So
Speaker 1: there was always that healthy dose of what if I
Speaker 1: get cut because I'm making too much money and That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I know for a fact
Speaker 1: he kept his money in check. But this would be
Speaker 1: the ultimate I'm giving back my earning potential. I mean,
Speaker 1: think of what this guy's worth to the team. And
Speaker 1: this is where I struggle with it, because I'm a
Speaker 1: firm believer guys should get every penny they can get
Speaker 1: while they can get it. They're gonna fill that stadium
Speaker 1: this year, pandemic permitting, because of Tom Brady. You're only
Speaker 1: taking a million if you would want to take a
Speaker 1: million dollars when you're the reason the place I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to sell out in a generation is going
Speaker 1: to be sold out. So it's a tough balance, and
Speaker 1: you don't want to sell a guy's earning capacity short.
Speaker 1: But if he really is sufficiently driven to get to
Speaker 1: number eight, and maybe to number nine, and maybe to
Speaker 1: number ten, then one way to do it is to say,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the bare minimum. You brought up,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, what's going on here. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: on this Sunday night. Football Night in America is set
Speaker 1: with you coming up next season. Mike. I've told you
Speaker 1: time and again. They only wake me up for the
Speaker 1: unimportant meetings. I don't know what's going on with Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: And Sean Payton told us five weeks ago super Bowl
Speaker 1: week that he expects an announcement from Drew Brees and
Speaker 1: the next week to a week and a half, and
Speaker 1: here we are and nothing from Drew. We had. There
Speaker 1: was that video of him pushing a sled. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's not just a guy who's trying to stay
Speaker 1: in shape. That's a guy who's getting ready to play football.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand it. There's no urgency for him
Speaker 1: to do it. Maybe he's just enjoying the moment. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. But he's already reduced his salary from
Speaker 1: twenty five to one point seven five. And if he
Speaker 1: would show up and say I'm back, what can the
Speaker 1: Saints do? What are they're gonna say, no, we're gonna
Speaker 1: cut you. So it's it's fascinating, and I'm sure there
Speaker 1: are some people within the Saints organization they're a little
Speaker 1: bit nervous about how this is all going to play out.
Speaker 1: You know, what I thought was the tip off that
Speaker 1: he's retiring when I saw that video of him pushing
Speaker 1: the sled. The the change the Jason Witten type change
Speaker 1: up up north. Yes, yes, yes, there was a little
Speaker 1: more moss on top of his head there, and that
Speaker 1: that struck me as the I'm going into TV hairdo.
Speaker 1: But let me just let me just make a general observation.
Speaker 1: And this is nothing against Drew or Brian or Lacker,
Speaker 1: but once it's gone, it's a little more conspicuous when
Speaker 1: it comes back, Like you need to intervene in the
Speaker 1: process at some point before it's obvious, Like you're Kevin
Speaker 1: from the office and you show up that Jim and
Speaker 1: Pam's we with hair, it's kind of obvious at that point. Dan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. That to me was the chip
Speaker 1: off Mike when people say what's he gonna do? I said, well,
Speaker 1: he's retiring. How do you know that because he's got
Speaker 1: new hair. Well, look, you may be onto something officially though,
Speaker 1: and I don't have a second source right now, but
Speaker 1: I'm working on that. Mike. Well, I will say, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously I wasn't even sure it was him in the video.
Speaker 1: Obviously there has been something that's gone on up top.
Speaker 1: It's not just diet and exercise that causes it to
Speaker 1: reverse itself. But whether that's the motivation. I have no information,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to worry about that. I don't
Speaker 1: look at that head of hair. Are you got that's
Speaker 1: most of it's mine? Yeah? Yeah, but you haven't you
Speaker 1: haven't colored it right, you know what full transparency? Dan Well,
Speaker 1: we had this conversation years ago. He was starting to
Speaker 1: go gray, and I thought, hey, now's the time to
Speaker 1: do it. You intervene, you freeze it in place where
Speaker 1: it is. And I did that for about a year
Speaker 1: or two. And then you see a picture of yourself
Speaker 1: with really dark hair and it looks pathetic because you're aging,
Speaker 1: but your hair is really dark, and it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy. And I'm not going
Speaker 1: to name names. It's seventy that has a full head
Speaker 1: of jet black hair, but is otherwise seventy. So I stopped.
Speaker 1: And for the most part, you know, it depends on
Speaker 1: the lighting. For the most part, it looks not as
Speaker 1: gray as it really is. But yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: Remember the Bob Barker thing, like he took a week
Speaker 1: off on Price's right, and he showed up with full
Speaker 1: head of white hair and everybody went nuts. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous before that because nobody believed he had
Speaker 1: a full head of brown hair. You just got to
Speaker 1: embrace it, You got to accept it. Just be glad
Speaker 1: you're alive, and be glad that it's there. I don't
Speaker 1: care what that's my official position. I don't care what
Speaker 1: Keller it is, as long as it's there. Thank you, Mike,
Speaker 1: Thank you Dan. That's Mike Florian for a football. I
Speaker 1: imagine somebody's tuning in, They're gonna wait, what are they
Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah? That was my tip off with Drew
Speaker 1: Brees because everybody was like, red, didn't you see him
Speaker 1: working out? And I go, he's retiring? Why, I said,
Speaker 1: look at his hair, he's got TV here, go on, Dart,
Speaker 1: let it fill in? Yes, what am I supposed to
Speaker 1: do with that? Don't worry about what color it is,
Speaker 1: as long as it's there. That they which I could
Speaker 1: rally behind that to the little field. I offered to
Speaker 1: buy you hair years ago. We had someone come in
Speaker 1: and once I kind of painted my head black. We've
Speaker 1: tried differently. You look great the way you are. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yes with my hat on, Yes, with your hat on.
Speaker 1: I just googled Kevin in the office with hair I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. I didn't see that one. We'll take a break.

Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, they're known as the Mount, but Bryant's
Speaker 1: college coming out of nowhere being a formidable team, exciting team,
Speaker 1: one of the better scoring teams in the country. Cleveland State, Drexel,
Speaker 1: and Gonzaga with your automatic bids. There got a pull
Speaker 1: question and Polly says it's a piping pot, piping hot
Speaker 1: poll question. Yes, point, Okay, we just had Floria. Florio
Speaker 1: has some great hair. Dan, You've had great hair your
Speaker 1: whole life, so you don't really understand the people who
Speaker 1: are follically challenged. Okay, this is a serious question, not
Speaker 1: just for sports radio, and an actual question where if
Speaker 1: you make a decision, I'm gonna take you back to
Speaker 1: age twenty. Ready, Yeah, you're offered these two things at
Speaker 1: age twenty. You can either lose all your hair at
Speaker 1: age twenty and your single man, yeah, or lose a
Speaker 1: finger on your non dominant hand, your pinky finger. And
Speaker 1: it's a serious question because I brought it up to
Speaker 1: the room and some one of these rooms that absolutely
Speaker 1: lose my pinky finger says, you get over it pretty quick.
Speaker 1: You can hide it hair, you lose it, it's it's gone.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to age twenty, not fifty. Do I
Speaker 1: do I lose the entire pinky finger? Yes? Oh, not
Speaker 1: a Ronnie Lot. We're just a little bit of it. No,
Speaker 1: it's not painful, it's and not controlled. It's not like
Speaker 1: a fireworks action my non shooting hand. Yes, of course.
Speaker 1: And a serious question like seton What was your answer? Oh, definitely,
Speaker 1: you could take my pinky Mick Lovin yikes, I kind
Speaker 1: of I'll probably lose my hair. Go like Jason safe
Speaker 1: in bald Well, You're not gonna look like Jason State.
Speaker 1: How about the dad and family ties bald Oh that's
Speaker 1: your Drew Brees said, remember that guy. Yeah, I lose it.
Speaker 1: The pinky finger sounds pretty bad to me. But there's
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be any pain involved. We're gonna make
Speaker 1: sure there's no pain. Don't you need Is it there
Speaker 1: a functional purpose? I don't know. That does seem just
Speaker 1: seems pretty radical to me, Todd, maybe because I've been
Speaker 1: used to it. I'll throw the hat on and save
Speaker 1: my digits and have ten fingers. I've been without an
Speaker 1: eye for my entire life, and I would rather be
Speaker 1: without an eye than without hair, probably, so I'll go
Speaker 1: with the finger. I go like nine other fingers. What
Speaker 1: am I doing with the left hand? Yeah? It at
Speaker 1: age twenty, Dan, you can imagine trying to get into
Speaker 1: the field you got into with a bald head at
Speaker 1: twenty probably wouldn't have helped things. I mean, obviously your
Speaker 1: talent and abilities, but having good hair for TV and
Speaker 1: you know what else you gotta do the rest of
Speaker 1: your life. When you go bald at twenty, you spend
Speaker 1: every time it comes up being like, well, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I started in my twenties, so it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: like it's always a storyline and that like oh well yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, or people like but oh well, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's god, do you believe it? At twenty,
Speaker 1: it's already losing all his hair. If you lose the finger,
Speaker 1: you just move to like a Minnesota and wear Minton's
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, moved to Canada. You're all set.
Speaker 1: You went where Bernie Sanders gloves. Yeah, and now you
Speaker 1: know what happens to then the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: People will be like, whoa, how did you lose your pinky?
Speaker 1: Be like kept my hair. Yeah, I was given the choice.
Speaker 1: I could either keep this head of hair or lose
Speaker 1: my picket. They're like, well, hey, you got a great
Speaker 1: head of hair. Yeah, no thanks, it only cost me
Speaker 1: this pinky. Todd If you could add another finger or
Speaker 1: add hair right now, what would you do, like having
Speaker 1: eleventh finger? Yeah, I'm reversing it. Yeah, in that case,
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I'm freakishly the other way, like,
Speaker 1: instead of having nine figures, I'm having a leven. I
Speaker 1: would take it a hair. Well, then the fingers aren't
Speaker 1: that important to you. I don't know if that's exactly
Speaker 1: the same, exactly the same, offer you a bonus finger.
Speaker 1: I think of all the things you be. I do
Speaker 1: miss having my hair. Believe me, it's something weird about
Speaker 1: wearing like a suit and a cap that just doesn't go.
Speaker 1: I remember that conversation with Mike Florio because I always
Speaker 1: tell guys, if you're gonna do it, do it sooner,
Speaker 1: not later. You want it to be gradual, not you
Speaker 1: show up one day and your hair is really dark Fritzie,
Speaker 1: I will buy you hair. You've been very generous about
Speaker 1: that time. Do you want hair? I think I'll be okay.
Speaker 1: The way, you just gotta embrace your situation. It's about content.
Speaker 1: We did the spray paint. They did not go over
