I don't did you hear about that? 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.440 I don't know. Somebody pointed out to me, yes. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.960 I wasn't going to talk about this on this edition 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.200 of Mixed John's. But the tour walked by the podcast 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.400 studio made me think of Dalton Schultz for some reason, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.680 and I got some hot sports opinions about that too. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.400 Still, but hurt that they didn't resign him. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.600 The second I have to go sign an autographic. Yeah right, 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.679 and someone's banging on the window. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.279 And hopefully no one knocks on the window to disturb 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.160 me lifting weights. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.000 By the way, can I say something about that? 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.480 Yes, yes, Okay, back in the nineties where the Cowboys 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.080 are winning Super Bowls, you know what the media rules 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.519 were in the locker room at Valley Ranch. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.400 I can't imagine there were many. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.480 There were none. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:14.280 There were none. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:19.359 We literally during the season on a Monday, okay, after 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.440 a game, we literally as a TV station would go 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.160 get especially if Troy got injured or got banged up 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.800 a little bit on the Sunday game. We would be 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.040 set up in the parking lot, the players parking lot 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.440 at Valley Ranch with a minicam to get Troy walking 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.480 hobbling into or on crutches or whatever. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.880 It might be. He didn't even have to be hurt. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.040 We're just showing up there. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.200 And then we would go inside the locker room and 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.760 we would sit in the locker room for three hours 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.520 until players players had to report by noon. And these 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.800 players are complaining or one player is complaining about a 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.040 two who are coming by and looking at the weight room. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.200 I mean, we used to sit in the locker room 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.680 and they had no problem winning Super Bowls back then. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.280 And once they started winning super Bowls, by the way, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:17.080 excess ended every Tom, Dick and Harry was in the 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:22.719 locker room selling stuff like we ended up being somewhat friend. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.839 Uh we we nicknamed him jewelry Man. He was coming 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:33.320 in selling jewelry to the players, custom made, right, Yeah, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.200 the people that were selling like custom made suits would 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.600 be in there selling their wares. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:42.559 Uh. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.320 It was no telling how many people were in that 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.719 locker room selling stuff to players. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.640 And and there's a supposed there is a narrative going 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.320 around that the culture is horrible. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.440 Now, yes, I mean, give me a break. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.320 It's a it's a it's a bad excuse. It's like trying. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.680 It's like giving them a soft pill to lay their 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.840 heads on for losing to Green Bay. Yeah, that had 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:10.880 nothing to do with it. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:11.599 Nothing. 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:13.839 Schultz was just a little salty. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.080 Well he he was. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.120 And I don't even I didn't even I didn't listen 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.600 to the podcast. I just saw the I didn't even 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.600 see the clip. I just so I don't know even 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.760 know what context he set it in. I'm just seeing 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.520 the headlines that Dalton Schultz saw about the culture and 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.039 so I'm going to assume that he just presented it 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.760 on the podcast as hey, this was kind of weird, 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.680 but you know, didn't think anything of it, because that's 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.720 not distracting to a player to have people walking around. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:42.400 I'm sorry. 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.080 And if it is, then go find another job, go 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:52.039 to Houston. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.040 They're not in that. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.000 And oh, by the way, they have had three straight 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:57.960 twelve win seasons. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.520 Yeah, but it only distracts them when they. 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.960 Lose, that's right. It only just strikes them in the playoffs. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.640 Like come to me in the newspaper business when you're 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.360 on deadline at an NBA game and you're sitting courtside 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.640 with sixteen thousand people in the game, and you're trying 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.920 to compose a story while the game's going on. By 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.919 the way, and there's sixteen thousand people screaming, come with 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.520 me and let me know about a distraction, right, you're 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.560 playing football. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:33.279 But I mean, it's just so comical because in the 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.880 nineties there was so much better access to these players 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.839 from whether it's media people, as you said, people trying 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.120 to sell them stuff that I mean, now they're in 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.479 a whole separate wing and there's a forty five minute 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.080 availability where the players know when that availability is, so 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.599 if they don't have to go in the locker room 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.680 at while the media is in there and until or 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.760 where others are in there. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:06.239 Valley Ranch until the players started like getting in trouble, right. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.440 That's what That's what stopped the access when they walked 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.640 in the back door of Valley Ranch where they entered 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.000 the facility. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:27.280 We each TV or newspaper. We had three offices back there, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.920 and they had to walk by the door to our 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.280 offices so I could sit in mind. We'd leave the 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.640 outside door open and they would walk in, and I 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.640 can see when people were coming in. I can see 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.560 when they were coming in late, and I can see 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.120 when they were going out on crutches. All right, we 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:52.040 had but every morning news the Fort Worth Star Telegram. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.560 You were with the Times Herald then, and I was 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:53.920 with the. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.080 Times Herald at the time. So don't give me that. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.440 Anyways. I didn't I didn't way to go. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.240 I didn't expect I didn't expect that. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.560 I just the tour got me. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.040 Perfectly right, all right. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.200 So as I continually update what's going on on my 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.720 X account, what are your thoughts as we kick this 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.360 legal tampering period off. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.920 You know, I actually think we should uh see if 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.120 we want to have any people text in today, give 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:32.840 us your thoughts. Who should the Cowboys potentially resign? Who 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.960 are some free agents that you would maybe like to 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.840 see as great additions to the twenty twenty four Cowboys roster. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.680 Now from the Cowboys standpoint, you can resign your own 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.240 guys right. You don't have to wait. Guys that are 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.040 going to be right free agents. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.439 And by the way, the signings that you're hearing about 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.000 right now, even where Russell Wilson goes to the Steelers now, 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.800 it won't become official until Wednesday. The Broncos gave him 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.400 permission to talk with other teams. But then others have 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.360 been released players, and so that's why signings are happening 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:07.920 right now. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.559 Even official signings. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.120 Are happening right now because they're not unrestricted free agents. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.120 They're street free agents. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:19.640 But let's put this in perspective. By the way, because 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.400 the Cowboys were over the salary cap until they restructured 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:30.760 Zach Martin's contract and put money in voided years down 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.120 the road, that they're going to have to eventually account 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:39.480 for it's not like free money, and by doing that, 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.760 when it comes to and right now on the thirteenth, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.280 the salary cap per team only counts for the top 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.800 fifty one players, meaning the top fifty one salaries on 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.800 your ninety man roster. So when it comes to that, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:03.800 after that restructure, the Cowboys have eight million dollars in 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.959 cap space, So it's not like they can go out 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.560 and just splurge and start signing guys left and right. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.840 They've got to be very careful because their priority would 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:25.080 be right now is to redo ceed Lamb's contract because 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.760 he's counting seventeen million on his fifth year option. You 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.400 would like to sign him to a long term deal. 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.720 You pay him some money so that would give you 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.920 more space in the salary cap because he'll only get 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.160 like a one point five million dollar base salary and 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:53.120 then the accumulated signing bonus pro rated over five years. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.800 So to me, when they start spending money, that's somewhat 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:04.160 the first priority. The second priority would be Michaeh Parsons 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.040 thinking down the line, although you don't really need to 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.040 deal with that, and then deciding what you're gonna do 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.679 with Dak Prescott. Are you going to just restructure his 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.040 base salary and spread it over a couple of years, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.080 or are you going to try to re sign him? 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.040 And initially from what I was told is they wanted 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.000 to restructure the final year of his contract, so we 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.240 got to see what happens there and then just kind 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.240 of making decisions on what are you going to do 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.520 on your own guys, because they got some tough decisions 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.679 to make. When you have sixteen unrestricted free agents and 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.839 half of those guys are starters, are you going to 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.640 try to resign some of these guys or what kind 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.840 of decisions are you making down the road with counting 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.120 on young guys who haven't been starters yet. So to me, 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.760 those are the biggest things that cowboys have to decide 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.920 along with. You know, it got reported that they gave 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:10.720 Michael Gallup's agent, uh the right to search for a trade, 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.080 But trade or cut, you still got to count for 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.840 his dead money. And everybody keeps talking about Bill about 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.000 if they cut him post June first, which you don't 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.760 get the money until June first, you're gonna save this 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.920 amount of money. But even if you save that money 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.760 this year, he's going to count eight million dollars in 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.640 dead money next year, and so no one points. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.600 That out right, And so yeah, you can tell Michael 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.920 Gallup that you give him permission to go seek a trade. Well, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.200 that essentially tells Michael Gallup what his market value is 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.800 out there right when he find when his agent finds 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.520 out that there's no one interested in that contract at 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:53.559 that price whatever. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:54.079 And so. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.600 To your point, you trade him and you and if 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.839 the Cowboys do have in mind to make him a 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.240 post June first cup, well, the Cowboys have to accept 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.000 the terms of a trade. Even if he found a 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.840 trade partner, the Cowboys have to accept the terms of 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.480 that trade. And what factors into that is what Michael 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.680 gallup salary cap hit would be, because they cannot now 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.880 save that nine and a half million dollars and make 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.679 him post You. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:24.520 First cut the dead money immediately Comedia comes due, So 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:29.760 you would have to The team trading for him would say, huh. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.120 They're going to have to pay more of a price. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.800 You want to get rid of them, So we're only 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.760 going to give you this. But the Cowboys are thinking, 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.160 we got to absorb this amount of dead money. We 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.760 want more in a trade, right, exactly. And so that's 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.800 a tricky deal right there. It's not as easy as 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.720 everybody thinks it is, because when you trade a guy, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:56.959 all the dead money immediately escalates into your. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.640 So I think that that is part of the negotiating 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.079 process with Michael. It gives him if it's true, indeed 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.280 is true, they give you permission to go talk to 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.280 other teams, if to see if there is a trade 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.800 interest out there. His agent finds out there is none, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.600 let's say, and then Michael is in a position where 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.920 because the Cowboys may be offering him some sort of 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.680 a pay cut to stay on the team, which would 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.400 restructure his deal basically, and they could save that money 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.000 and turn it into because he's got like eight million 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.520 dollars that is his base salary for this year. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.960 It's eight point five and four million of it is 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.160 due guaranteed on March eighteenth. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.160 Which is the fifth day of the new year. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.040 And you would like to have something something by next 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.840 Monday by then, yeah, exactly. So that's probably one of 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:48.520 their other obviously priorities, other than trying to resign their 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.760 own guys. But again, and even if they you know, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.920 it's not like they found free money under the cap 0:14:55.200 --> 0:15:00.680 to restructure Zach Martin's deal, because after twenty two twenty five, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.560 there's three voided years in there where they automatically void, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:10.720 but you're dumping restructure money into those three years, and 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.320 your your credit card is going to come do in 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.680 those voided years and five you said after twenty twenty, okay, And. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.560 That is what they would say. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:26.000 If they did a restructure of Dak's contract, Dak Prescott's contract, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.080 they would be adding voided years on the end of 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.200 it to stack money down the road. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.960 It's going to come due at some point. It's just 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.000 going to be in a future year. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.680 So if that's there a definition of all in, then 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.120 you got all that. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.720 And so their other option on Dak is okay, you 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.920 sign him. Sign If you're going to sign Dak to 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.160 a contract extension, he is in line to become the 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.320 highest paid player in NFL history, okay, because you look 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.960 at the quarterbacks that have been signed with his resume, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.560 and all of these quarterbacks are like that, from Joe 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:02.000 Burrow to Justin Herbert to Lamar Jackson Jalen Hurts, who 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.320 have all signed. You look at the pecking order, and 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.400 the most recent of those franchise quarterbacks to sign with 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.600 Joe Burrow five years, two hundred and seventy five million dollars. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.720 That's fifty five million dollars a year. And you go 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.360 back and look at the last eight to ten of 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.680 those over the last couple of years, and they're all 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.760 going up. The average annual salary goes up about two 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.720 million dollars a year. So the next one to sign, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.120 whether it's Dak or Tua or Jared Goff, whoever it 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.560 might be, cousins, okay for a I'm talking for a 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.280 five year contract, right, you know you're going to be 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.640 in the vicinity of fifty seven million dollars a year. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.040 So five years, two hundred and eighty five million dollars. 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.840 And you better not make a mistake, right, Denver Bread 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:43.600 And there you go. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.200 Russell Wilson, he's on that list. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.800 It was a five year, two hundred and forty five 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.800 million dollar contract that he signed August of twenty twenty two. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:55.760 And they are on the hook for eighty. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.160 Four million dollars in dead money dead money this year 0:16:59.200 --> 0:16:59.680 and next. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.840 Yeah, and they didn't wait till June first. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.399 And so the Steelers are just are signing him to 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.320 a one point two million dollar contract, which is the 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.320 veteran minimum, and the Broncos are paid him the rest 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.720 of his money that's due this year too. And it's 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.480 not just dead money he's getting. He's getting money from all. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:25.639 The Cowboys did that with oh, the Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:31.760 because Cincinnati released him, but he had guaranteed money, so 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.320 he was getting paid millions. And the Cowboys signed him 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.959 for basically the veteran minimum of about one point five million, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.560 just like you pointed out, because they already's getting his 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:43.919 money so he didn't need it. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.280 So here we go. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.840 We're just getting started on this seventy And how about 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.400 we take a break.

There's 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.399 been rumors out there, but there is This is the 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.240 first I've seen of a contract agreement, and it could 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.879 affect what the Cowboys are looking at here at the 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:56.760 running back position, as former Eagles running back DeAndre Swift 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.240 apparently is signing a three year deal worth twenty four 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:05.720 million dollars with the Chicago Bears. So three years, twenty 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.760 four million for DeAndre Swift. The other reports out there, 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:14.040 Saquon Barkley is being courted by the Philadelphia Eagles and 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:18.800 the Houston Texans. And so there's the early reports on 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.320 running backs and what the running back market looks like. 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:26.480 And here's something that I think people need to keep 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:31.000 in mind. As I pointed out, when it comes to 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.639 the top fifty one, the Cowboys have like eight million 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:41.680 dollars in cap space. Normally, when you start a season, 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:47.760 after you pay your draft picks or whatever your rookie 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.040 salary cap is, you like to start the season with 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:58.200 about eight to ten million dollars in cap space because 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.360 you're going to have things you got to pay for 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:05.080 as you go, operating costs as you go through the season. So, 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.680 like I said, and it's kind of always a fluid 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:13.439 moving number, but right now, the estimate is for the 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:18.399 top fifty one they have eight million dollars in space. Now, 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.480 how about this for comparison, especially when you're trying to 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:27.000 re sign some of your own guys. The Washington Redskins 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:33.359 have ninety six million dollars in cap space ninety six. 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:40.560 Number two is Tennessee with eighty million, the Patriots seventy two, 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.120
