Your boy 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.920 Dave retweeted it as well, So we've got lots of 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.960 questions coming up. Do you guys want to go through 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.760 really quick. I'm just going to hit on the news 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.120 of the week. There's like five six nuggets and that 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.400 we can discuss whatever you want to do. Host. You're good. 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:32.640 It's season eighteen episode, season eighteen episode whatever Derek said 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.319 one hundred and seventy five or something. I don't know. Yeah, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.200 let's go, all right, here we go Newsy Hits of 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.679 the Week. Cowboys awarded a fifth round convinceatory pick who 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.039 they'll play in the Hall of Fame game on August six, 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.440 and it's the Steelers. Edwarder reporting that he is thinking 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.680 that Amari Cooper is going to get done soon and 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:56.200 before Dak Prescott, John Machoda and you commenting on the 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.559 fact that Byron is going to get a monster deal, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.640 big time, big time deal. We'll discuss that. Tony Romo guys, 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.000 according to a fan, showed up for jury duty this 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.880 week in Dallas and took photos with everyone there and 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.680 it was a quote unquote total sweetheart, even though he 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.520 was not ultimately selected. Of course, he wasn't a Cowboys receiver. 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.880 Our boy Ventel Bryant arrested on a DUI charge in Tampa. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.679 John Kittena hired his head coach in Burlisons outside of 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.679 Fort Worth, so he went from high school pro back 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.920 high school. And then we've had some changes in the 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.919 schedule of the CBA and the tags and this and that. Yeah, 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.880 about forty of them. Where do we want to begin? 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.600 I geez, I mean you offered us so many, and 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.560 I think we should start with John Kittena getting a 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.160 high school code. No, I don't want to talk about 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.280 that at all. Good David, Good luck to John. That's awesome. Um, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.679 what was the first thing you said? There was something 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.839 that I insatory? Pick? Oh? Yeah, yes, the league finally 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.320 announced yesterday the Cowboys are going to get pick one 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.920 seventy nine in exchange for Cole Beasley, and can we 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.720 just talk about I love to see it, and I 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.560 hope the Cowboys do more of this because if you 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.840 if you rewind a year, they trade a sixth round 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.720 pick for Robert Quinn, they get eleven and a half 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.040 sacks out of them, and then they just get the 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.840 pick back because Cole Beasley leaves in free agency and 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.240 so you lose your six then you immediately get it 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.520 back based on how you operate in free agency. It's 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.600 the way I've always wanted the Cowboys to operate not 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.119 necessarily spending big money, but being willing to commit resources 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.120 to get guys that can actually help you. Like there's 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.760 a difference between you know, signing the bottom of the 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.640 barrel free agents because you're unwilling to spend in free agency. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.280 I get that you can still commit resources to it. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.680 And it's beautiful how well it worked out for the Cowboys. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.760 They basically they got an eleven and a half sacks 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.000 season out of Robert Quinn for basically nothing. Yeah, and 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.000 if you do it before the draft, at least like 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.760 they did with Quinn, you know, then because you do 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.880 it on draft day, I mean, everybody in the room's 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.800 got a guy that they want there in the fifth round. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.280 I hope we can take this guy. I hope he 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.280 can take this guy. And then you trade for someone 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.920 and it doesn't ever seem to be have the same luster. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.760 But if you do it a little bit beforehand, and 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.800 you know, going in, we don't have that pick because 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.240 we just got Robert Quinn, I think it's done differently, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.240 and so teams don't always want to do that. But yeah, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.120 I think that that wasn't You're right, that was a 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.240 huge get for them. We've seen it both ways. We've 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.360 seen Draft Day when they got Tavon Austin, you know, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.800 in the draft or maybe it's a little Ward or 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:33.520 what was his name, but they've traded for him, right, Yeah, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.640 that was that was a swap Switzer for Ward. Marinelli 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.880 liked him, and yeah, but they traded a sixth for 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.080 Tavon Austin. You are right about that. We are seeing 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.040 more trades though, and I like that. I absolutely like it. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.720 It's I think teams are realizing that, you know, they're 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.680 not They're valuable, but they're not quite as valuable as 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.800 people have tried to act like they are. It's just 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.520 a it's a smart way to try to add talent 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.800 to your team. But yeah, so they get it back. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.360 Cole Beasley season in Buffalo, fifth round, big going on there. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.840 I didn't know some of those things. Well, there is 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.800 you know, it's a busy week and next week is 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.880 going to be even busier with all of the schedule 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.400 change and this and that. Yeah, that's probably I mean, 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.240 that's where we should probably have started, because next week 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.800 is going to be absolutely bonkers because and I'm sure 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.800 people are tired of hearing about the CBA. And you know, 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.960 nobody football fans. You don't follow football to read legal 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.720 ease like I get that, but it's important and it's wild. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.040 So Saturday night, well, the tag deadline was supposed to 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.920 be tomorrow, Thursday, March twelfth, it is now the CBA 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.320 is being voted on, and I think teams expressed their concerns, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.560 probably teams like the Cowboys and maybe the Titans, teams 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.359 that have several free agents that they're worried about keeping. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:53.800 They're saying, so the tag deadline is Thursday, doesn't make sense. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.080 The tag deadlines Thursday at five and we can tag 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.640 two guys, but then you're going to vote on the 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.840 CBA on Thursday night or close the voting window, I 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.520 should say, and then we might will find out if 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.560 we have one or two like that seems like BS 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.120 to me. And then then what's what happens if one 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.320 of the tags gets you know, you immediately have to 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.080 If the CBA is approved and you have two guys tagged, 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.560 you immediately have to resend one. And obviously you would 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.560 resend to the tag that you would put on Amari Cooper. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.920 The Cowboys have made it very clear they will tag 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.840 back if they don't have a deal. That's priority one, 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.720 as it should be. So Amari Cooper could be tagged 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.200 for five hours and then they pull it and he's 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.720 headed for free agency. So I think enough teams expressed 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.000 concern about this that they agreed to bump the voting 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.840 window back, and then they press responded to that by 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.800 bumping the tag deadline back. So now the CBA will 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.320 be decided on Saturday night, which thank god, because I 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:50.960 was you know, I was worried they were going to 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.320 interrupt my Saint Patrick's day plans with the CBA vote, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.120 So thank you for that. Uh, and then they're gonna 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.200 and then so now the tag deadline is Monday at 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.880 like five, I think, yes, Well mine says noon, okay, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.320 Monday afternoon. Sorry, I must have read their own thing. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.280 Either way, Now you've got forty eight hours to formulate 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.640 a strategy based on what happens. I think, yep, we 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.720 all probably agree that we think the CBA is going 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.160 to pass. Yeah, and so I think so I think 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.320 Jerry feels that way. So the Cowboys will have you know, 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.760 and you said, edwarder, that's something that we've kind of 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.680 heard around here too, is just that they are working 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.480 furiously to get Amari Cooper signed. Yea. Whether they do it, 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.480 we'll see. But if he's not signed by Saturday, if 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.960 the CBA passes, they'll have forty eight hours to push 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.120 for something before they can't tag him anymore. I think 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.840 that's that. Does that all make sense? I think that's 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.240 it all makes total sense. You've explained it great. For 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.440 as much as they've switched it up on us. I mean, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.120 this has been from Indy. We were talking with Steven 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.920 about these dates and deadlines and they've continued to change. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.120 It reminds me of the Zeke suspension appeal. David. It's 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.080 just like, I'm like, I go back. I hope this 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.280 makes sense because I'm not a lawyer and reading the 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.680 CBA makes my eyes glaze over, honestly. But that's where 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:15.040 we stand. That's where we stand. Schedule happening. So now 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.640 I want to know what do you guys think? What 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.280 do you think is going to happen? I mean, those 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.200 are the main questions. What are we doing with Dak? 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.000 Do you think Dak is going to wait and see? 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.760 And kind of Amari Byron is it? Robert Quinn is 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.520 he in the mix at all? What is going to 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.600 happen with this? All? Right? I think if you just 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.040 had to guess, I mean, I do think that the 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.120 Cooper deal will be done. They're not even gonna mess 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.360 with a transition tag. I bet they don't ever have 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.480 to do that. And I think and I think Dak 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.280 will get tagged. I just don't think they're going to 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.520 get done on that. Yeah, it's I think there's too 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.760 much at stake there. And honestly, at this point, Dak 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.240 probably wants them to force their hand, right, He's like, 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.880 use the tag, Like, if we're not we're not gonna 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.559 get it done anyway, and you're gonna tag me, then 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.199 do it, like because theoretically if you could let him 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.160 hit free agency and it would be a bonanza, and 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.240 the Cowboys aren't going to do that. So I don't see. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.040 I don't see that happening by Monday afternoon, but Amari 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.880 I could. But my I agree with you. But so 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.680 it's Wednesday right now, so that gives I mean, you 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.079 got about five days to get something done. Is this 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.599 we look in like a weekend deal? You think? Or 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.840 I think, yeah, I think that they've probably got the 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.080 parameters of it almost ready to go, and they just 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.800 want to see, you know how if there's going to 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.440 be any big shake ups there well, and maybe they're 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.360 waiting for the CBA vote. I mean, maybe that's a 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.760 situation where the CBA passes late Saturday night and like 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.679 Sunday morning, they're like, all right, we know what we're 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.839 working with. We can put you know, pen to paper 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.480 on this thing. My question about Robert Quinn is do 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.160 they have are they going to let him go to 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.280 free agency and see I think at this point his 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.760 agent probably will want to do that. I just wonder 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.000 if the free agent period it opens up in March 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.360 on March eighteenth, is is he going to be available 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.280 for a little bit and is somebody gonna throw some 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:07.760 money out there at him? Are they going to try 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.680 to get him locked up before he ever gets there. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.679 I think that's a situation where even if he hits 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.679 and you can never fully predict what another I mean, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.000 if another team just comes in with this crazy offer, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.880 but he's thirty. I think he liked it here. I 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.920 think he likes the culture and living in Dallas, like 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.319 he just seemed like a natural fit. Were you sitting 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.840 at lunch yesterday when he was there. He came in 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.400 and he was high five and some people and it 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.040 was like, oh, you know, first thought was first thought 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.120 was like, hey, this is this is good, Like he 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.280 looks like he's coming back. And then somebody else said 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.880 or he could be saying goodbye, and it was like, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.959 oh yeah. So there's so much reading between the lines 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.800 going on right now. Especially at lunch, it's like who 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.880 is talking to who? Do you look happy? Do you 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.920 look like are you getting a lot of food? Like 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.000 this might be your last trip here, which I mean 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.440 guys that have their future up in the year, you 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.760 don't see them around the building typically, and I'm talking 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.600 about years of experience doing this, like if you're if 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.120 you're if your contracts running out and you might be 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.360 going somewhere else, Like like, I haven't seen Dack since 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.040 the season ended, have you? So? Why have we apparently 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.560 seen but I have not seen Byron? Did you see 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.240 him yesterday? I have not seen. We've heard some people 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.199 in our cube area say they've seen Byron a lot 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.000 at breakfast. I have yet to see him. But I'm 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.440 just I'm just saying he's if he's around, he's keeping 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.240 a low profile, which makes sense. Which so my point 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.480 is like, I don't know Robert Quinn's hanging out at lunch. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.800 I think he really likes it here, and I think 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.360 he's made his money, like he's he's done a huge contract. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.959 You know, he was an all pro when he was 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.200 with the Rams, and I just think if if the 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.840 Cowboys make him a reasonable offer, I think he would 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.480 prefer to be here. That's one of those things where 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.800 it's like you might hit free agency, but we feel 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.640 good about our odds of keeping him. And this is 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.400 how sorry go ahead, and Nick, I was just saying, 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.839 you know, for anybody, if you you know, just might 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.400 be here, you mean you still have to clean out 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.440 your locker. I mean if he's like, oh, well he's 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.640 he's here, well, I mean he's got stuff here and 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.000 doesn't mean he's gonna be here. I mean I'm not 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.319 talking about anybody specifically. I just mean that, oh I 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.520 saw him today. Well, he's said by producer Beam, do 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.320 we trust him? He says he saw Byron at breakfast 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.080 or whatever it's worth, said he saw him. But this 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.480 is a perfect example of something I'm sure you guys 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.200 already talked about with Ron Learry, you know on Twitter 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.640 you want to throw that in the news, Ben too, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.880 wasn't it? Was it not discussed last week? I'm trying 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.280 to remember what day we saw that. So Ron Learry 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.280 is tweeting with everyone. The Dallas media is saying, yeah, man, 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.000 you know, I could still got my house in Dallas. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.800 I could come back, and I feel like that's how 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:48.640 you got belts there. Oh, come on, come on, fair, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.160 fair question. I like I like Larry a lot. I 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.440 like him at left guard. I think you'd be better 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.800 than what they have right now. I do too, But 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.720 at what price? That's always the thing with free agency 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.800 or years nineteen. I don't know. I know, I'm just right. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.520 If you you got to pay the quarterback, you got 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.960 to pay the receiver. Hopefully you're gonna pay Quinn. Hopefully 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.679 you're gonna, you know, make some additions on the defense 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.360 so that you're not holding this thing with duct tape. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.920 And then and when all that's said and done, can 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.839 you afford to pay like good veteran money to a guard? 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.520 You can? You got two left guards on rookie deals 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.280 and they have the same name, and you got to 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.920 see what they can do. Connor Williams Connor McGovern. You 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.520 got to see what they can do. Um, I would 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.800 bring back Joe Looney. I think that would be a 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.559 fair or I don't know if ron Leary has devalued 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.120 to the point where I could get him for backup money, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.080 you know, come like maybe compete and be a backup 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.440 guard or but I don't think that's true. I think 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.760 I think he can signed to be a starter somewhere. Yeah, 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.200 thirty years old, yeah, but offensive line. You know, you 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.839 can play into your thirties on the offensive line. Boy. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.880 A lot of a lot of teams that had him 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.760 off off the board because of his his knee. And 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.320 I mean Jerry was so excited when they got him 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.040 because he thought that was just going to be a 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.559 great move and it was. I mean that dude one. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.959 I mean, he's still playing what he was he was 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.080 undrafted in twenty twelve, I think. But it sounds like 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.960 things aren't going to continue in Denver. So no, yeah, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.959 so come on home, Larry. That's my point is all 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.480 these guys go on other places, and they all keep 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.280 their houses in Dallas, and there's different reasons for that. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.240 I mean, sure, there's no state income tax and the 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.240 weather's correctly. Why wouldn't you want to weather? It's great, David, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.200 The weather is great compared to you?

Back to the Break, We're 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.320 back here on the break, continuing from the SWBC Mortgage studio. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.640 Derek traveling today Lindsay Draper in with Nick and Dave. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.719 And it is the fans segment, because our fans are 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.720 the best. They've got questions. I want to suck up. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:15.160 They've got pressing questions, David, nobody interacts with our fans 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.960 more than you love them. I love our fans. You're 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.199 just You're just I do. You're just sucking up to 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.040 him though. That's sucking up. It's fine. I love you guys, 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.399 you know I love you. There you go. He doesn't 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.040 know how to show his love all the time. Don't 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.880 we have to work with them. I don't do emotions 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.439 very well. Who are some from Daniel? Who are some 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.720 non cowboys free agents that maybe might have some ties 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.000 to anyone on the new staff that you could see 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.840 them kind of targeting or wanting to bring in dampering 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:47.000 no thanks? Is it? No? Thank you? I mean, well, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.000 this is boring. But right off the bat, like I 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.600 just I just feel it in my soul that Randall 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.199 copp will be back here again unless somebody blows him 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.240 away with a crazy offer. But again, I think he 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.600 likes it here. He has a relationship with Mike McCarthy. 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.080 He played cacarthy brought it up right like the day 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.200 he signed his contract. Mike McCarthy brought it up again 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.560 back again at the combine. Yeah, and that's happening. What 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.720 was the was the question though? Non Cowboys? Sure? Yeah, 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.840 any other non Cowboys, other players there's I mean, um, 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.199 I mean it feels reckless, but you just like you 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.199 try to connecting dots. I mean Mike McCarthy drafted haha, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.439 Clinton Dix. The Cowboys could use the safety. I believe 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.720 he was there when the Packers drafted to Marius Randall. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.160 Two guys that have kind of you know, they've both 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.880 had their ups and downs. They've they've you know, had 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.240 big contracts, they've fallen out of favor in places. I 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.080 think they've both been cut before, so you know, not 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.879 getting not guys that are gonna just absolutely light the 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.160 fan base on fire. But there are players McCarthy has 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:52.160 history with, um, Mike Nolan's coached everywhere. UM, So yeah, 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.280 I mean there's definitely there's a handful of guys out there. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.640 My thing is just make it make sense financially. That's 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.919 that's line one of everything right now, which is, I 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.480 know what feels impossible. I know it's annoying, but it's true. 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.439 I mean, I just I gotta see him like Derek 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.440 brings up Chris Harris every time we do the show, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:14.520 and I would be really excited about that. But that 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.480 just sounds like a fat stack of cash for pie 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:22.040 has gotten smaller. What is it? I'm not implying anything here. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.480 What is the status with Hunter Henry? I saw him 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.520 on a free agent list? Is he the Chargers? Is 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.520 he gonna be like franchise Tagner put me on the spot. Yeah, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.959 like two weeks ago I saw something about him, because 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.040 I mean, he's not gonna hit free agency. I wouldn't think. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.000 I wouldn't think he's gonna be a guy that's gonna 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.680 be out there. But if he is, I can see 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.840 the Cowboys being interested there. I just don't know his 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.359 status because he's a good tight ender because where he 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.720 went to school. Okay, I mean because and really, I 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.440 mean he is a good tight end. I'm not trying 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.479 to be a smart alec. I mean, it's not like 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.440 they just bring in every razorback that's ever been here. 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.280 But but um, he's but is it not a position 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.359 of need? I mean it's a position of need. And 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.800 he's a you know, pack around pick and I just 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.000 don't know what what they're doing with him. It doesn't 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.560 look as though it's a guarantee he's getting tagged. So 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.480 that'll be interesting to me. Juggling so much right now, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.159 I think that would be a that would be a 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.120 hefty price tag too, definitely. But but I keep going 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.520 back to I have no I have no inside knowledge. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.760 But like I don't think the Cowboys have a choice 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.439 but to spend at least a little bit of money. Yeah, 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.960
