That's the whole league. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.680 This is draft process, all right. I had to fill 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.319 up this page just to get the coaches, right, all 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.520 these coaches with all this energy. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.040 I like that because you took your failed law experience 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.000 and you applied it to the information here. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.160 No, it wasn't a failed law experience. I graduated from 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.280 law school in one month. Okay, Yeah, that's the way 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.000 I look at. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.280 I don't think I didn't. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:11.640 I don't think graduated law school after one month. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.840 I graduated graduated loosely. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:21.240 He left, you know, so when you referred to the 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.440 coaching staff, this is going to be the double E 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.400 coaching staff energy and excitement. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.960 All right. I like that. Yeah, all right. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.959 And they were all in Indianapolis. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.520 You were all in Indianapolis. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.000 You did all the interviews there. He did interviews and 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.320 everything of certain players. The process. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.600 That's part of the process, that's probably the biggest part. Yeah, 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.400 I mean, the other stuff's all recorded. You could sit 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.240 here and come back and watch it. But it's the 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.280 interviews that I think are the most important thing going on. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.359 You get all those guys there, you I think they 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.839 I think I read somewhere where they had forty interviews 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.000 over the week schedule. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.440 Well they I believe it's forty five. Is the number 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.760 of interviews that each team can have a formal interviews. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:07.880 It's forty five. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.400 And then you have what they call the thirty visits. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.440 You can have thirty prospects that come on campus here. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.760 That's in addition to Dallas Day. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.640 Which will be early April, where player prospects who either 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.919 went to high school in the Dallas Fort Worth area 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.280 or went to college in the Dallas Forth area SMUTCU, 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:34.360 North Texas, they can come and actually can work out here. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.480 That's that's in early April. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.040 Yeah, And I thought somebody tried to make an item 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.440 out of them not talking to Ashton Genty at the combine. 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.720 Well, he's right down the road. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:47.680 He's eligible. 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.720 He would not only be eligible for a thirty day visit, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.760 or you can just have him here for Dallas Day too, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.360 so so or can you make Boston just walk over here. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.880 How long that puss. It's been a while. For a while. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.360 It's been because nobody interviewed me. It wasn't that long. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.760 No, they didn't realize and they didn't bring you to 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:12.600 the combine. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:13.440 Was there? 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.039 When did the Combine start? Eighty seven or so? 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.240 We're in the eighties. 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.680 Yeah, so it was after ever since day plus not I. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.599 Mean formal interviews at the Combine. You can also have 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.839 the bump into oh hey, let me introduce me. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.159 And the other thing is for the players who went 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.280 to the Shrine Bowl, which was right here, or the 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.040 Senior Senior Bowl. I mean, interviews are gone on there. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.640 There's a number of players who were at the Senior 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.560 Bowl who didn't get formal interviews at the Combine because 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.440 they took care of their formal interviews at the Senior Bowl. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.599 Any regulations at the HBCU Bowl. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.280 Okay, I had one. I was, well, they didn't call 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:58.039 it HBCU. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.760 Then had an interview. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:05.159 No, well yeah, we no, I didn't No, No, I 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.559 just okay, so what going back? 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:08.360 What about now? 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.120 What about it didn't have the Yes, they had a 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.479 show hbc players. Yes, yes, they do have that, and 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:21.200 that's something that is that a track scout Harris, Yeah, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.880 Doug Wisiam and Shack Harris was instrumental in bringing that 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.919 to New Orleans as part of their whole outreach that 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.680 they've been trying to do, you know, since they've been 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.000 in the league and in a position. And yes, they 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.440 do have a lot of scouts come down there for that. Uh. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:41.040 Some of those guys, uh that aren't graduating. They're talking 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:46.480 about the the Tigers, Grahama Tigers. They lost a player. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.800 Number six was his number in the Bayou Classic. He 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.640 was all over the place. I'm pretty sure he's not 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.200 coming back to Gramblin. He's one of those players that's 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:56.080 gonna be it's. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.640 Either the draft or the transfer port. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.000 Yeah, I think he's on transfer. This kid man, he 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.160 was Oh my goodness. Uh, I know I heard about 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.680 the stud from South Carolina, right, the guy I think 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.719 he's a long safety. Yeah, he had that guy could 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.360 compare to him. And I say he was number six 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.520 in the Bio Classic for Grambling. I don't remember his name, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.000 but I know that he was all over the plot. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:26.120 I believe the South Carolina safety they played against Oklahoma 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.000 and I think he had three pick sixes. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:28.880 In the first five. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.560 Minutes of that game, no way, like I know he 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.960 had I believe he had won. And they had three 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.080 interceptions the first five minutes of the game. 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:41.680 Who was playing quarterback? 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200 Well, it was Michael Hawkins at that point, but they 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.040 went back to Jackson. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.239 What's going on with our team? 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:46.479 Man? 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.360 What's happening? What is happening? We don't Oklahoma. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.320 We don't talk about We got a quarterback, we share 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.760 We shared things with Oklahoma, you know, behind the scenes. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:57.920 What is going on with Oklahoma? 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.200 Man? We'll just let's don't get off track. Let's cast 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.040 on that off track. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.240 We're not getting off track. Let's talk. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.320 Nick Emm and Wory from South Carolina man six three, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.520 two hundred and twenty pounds. He ran a four to 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:17.720 three eight with a get this wait at two hundred 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.040 and twenty pounds, he ran a four to three eight. Yeah, 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:25.080 that is well, Michaeh I was questioning as Micah. Micaeh 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.440 ran a four three eight at two hundred and forty 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.559 six pounds. Nick Emm and Worry a one forty nine 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.800 ten yard split. You get under one fifty in it's 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:42.680 something else forty three vertical, forty three vertical and what 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.040 I was looking and an eleven six broad up, which 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.320 is still six inches short of Byron Jones's twelve foot 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:51.840 broad job. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.520 But Biban Jones was what my height? My size right? 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.120 Six one? 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.800 What are you? Yeah? Six to two? Okay? Yeah, and 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.320 yeah what about the same size. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.600 But you talk about the guy six three yeah, twenty Yeah, 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.400 that's the twenty eleven feet eleven six. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.680 So he could eleven and twenty yard lining straight up 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:13.480 and knock the ball. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.880 And plus I'm pretty sure if it's the same guy, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.400 he's a playmaker too. Yeah, so he's moving up the charts. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.480 Here arrow pointed up for nick emmin Worri from seven. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.200 I think, uh huh, that's right. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:31.920 So tomorrow we have a deadline, right, we do March fourth. 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.760 By the way, there's another former South Carolina player we'll 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.800 talk about on this edition the mix shots too. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.040 Yeah, tomorrow there is I wanted Cowboys to draft in 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:40.760 the first place. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.120 That would be debo. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:49.479 But there is a deadline three o'clock tomorrow afternoon where 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.239 teams need to if they're going to place a franchise 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.360 tag on a one of these free agent players. That's 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.480 their deadline, and it appears that a team that we 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.599 cover might be poised. 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.520 To do that. Yeah, I think they are. 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:08.480 Yeah, they can't get osa Re signed ahead of time 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:09.560 to a long term deal. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.840 I ahead of time meaning win again. When is it 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.960 three o'clock tomorrow? Yeah, then they will. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:20.920 Now tag him, which will allow them to continue negotiating 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:26.760 for a long term deal. And if i'm osa I'm 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:32.160 signing that franchise tag at three oh one, which guarantees 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.679 me no less than twenty five million on a one 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:37.199 year deal. 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.000 How about that with defensive tackles. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.679 Now, it was more than the defensive ends. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:47.239 The defensive tackle franchise tag is more than the defensive 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.000 end franchise tag. It's twenty five point one million for 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.920 defensive tackles and. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.760 Twenty two I got it, twenty two for defensive ends. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:56.800 Why is that. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:02.840 Guy because of the Chris Jones of the world. It's 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.559 based on the top five salaries in the league. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:07.960 At that position. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.800 And now the defensive there are a handful of defensive 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.400 tackles in the league that are getting humongous money. What 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:22.640 also has happened on it is you're designated a defensive end. 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.760 We're comparing it to the edge guys, and the edge 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.000 guys would be the ones that normally would get the 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.120 larger money. But what's happened on that is the designation 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.800 and a lot of these three four teams, you're designated 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.120 as an outside linebacker or a defensive end. Look at 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.560 what the linebackers are now, see the linebackers are twenty 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.679 five to four, So typically an inside linebacker is not 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.920 going to get twenty five four. You're not going typically 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.280 you will not franchise stag an inside linebacker because they 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.040 don't usually make that kind of money. But an outside 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.320 linebacker is an edge guy. And so it's just it's 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:09.360 basically a terminology thing where guys that are well think 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.840 of the Khalil Max of the world whatever, the high 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.240 dollar edge guys, they're designating them as outside linebackers in 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.679 the three four like a T. J. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.840 Watt rather than so, how is this related to the 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.079 inside guys all of a sudden getting this consideration. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.880 Because about the defensive tackles. There's there's five defensive tackles 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.840 and I can look them up that are getting salaries 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.559 that are. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.480 Average act and a lot thanks to Chris Jones. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.959 So then we're talking about the situation that can. It's fluid, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.360 as they call it. It's it's a fluid situation. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.480 It's not something now now Michael Parsons, Mike, Michael Parsons. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.520 He's listed on the roster as a linebacker, right and 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:54.559 so he would go in. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.080 For fifty air option for him was twenty. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.640 The linebacker right, okay, and so Micah okay, when he's 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.319 rushing the passer, he's basically a defensive end right in 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.680 because it's a four man front in the nickel, okay, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.880 But he's going to be designated as an outside as 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:19.000 a linebacker when it comes to negotiation a franchise tag 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.040 next year or whatever, and so he goes into that 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.200 category and a DeMarcus Lawrence is in the defensive end. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.360 Category for now. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.800 The other thing with Micah, since he will make twenty 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:36.160 five million this year, and if the franchise tag the 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.120 next year is just twenty five million or one hundred 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.199 and twenty percent rays of your last year's contract, so 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.280 he would get one hundred and twenty percent of twenty 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.240 five million, and. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.680 It basically that would be thirty million. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.120 Yeah, would be his tag number. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.319 So it's either or if you're coming off a high 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:58.600 base salary. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.280 So it just depends on what the market bas Yes, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:02.600 that's your same, Yeah. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.720 And the market's going to bear more because the salary 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.400 cap went up. So when the salary cap goes up, 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:15.679 all these other things because previously I had looked at 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:20.320 I'll just give you an example. New England had the 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:26.199 most salary cap space before they increase the cap. They 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:32.000 had I have here in one hundred. They're up to 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.800 one hundred and twenty nine point seven million in space 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:41.520 against the cap. So they basically could do ten things 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.840 and fail on five of them, and they could absorb 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.400 it because they've got so much cap space. Same thing 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.880 with Washington, by the way, and we'll get to that. 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.880 Before the cap got set, they were at sixty eight 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.200 million available. Now they're at eighty three million available. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.359 Because but but that that just goes towards the team itself. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.840 But when you're talking about a particular position. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.120 Good, that goes up too, because what's the cap. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.120 Yeah, it does go up, but it is now you're saying, 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.240 the defensive tackles are gonna go up even higher over 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.359 the defensive ends at this point. That's what you're saying. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.240 Because of the average of the top. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.000 And here here they are. Okay, here's your uh. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.120 This is average per year top five defensive tackles in 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.760 the league. Chris jones Is average per year is thirty 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.360 one point seventy five million, Christian Wilkins is twenty seven 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.800 point five million, nom Di Madebuque is twenty four point five, 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.120 Alee McNeil is twenty four point twenty five, and Derek 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.240 Brown twenty four million. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.320 Quinn Williams is also twenty four million. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.800 So the average of the top five there figures out 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:49.360 the twenty five. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.800 That's what the way that it comes from. Yeah, I 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:52.520 get it. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.600 Cults, and so I can. I'll give you just as 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.680 an example. Well, on over the cap, they just got 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.720 edge rusher. Here are the edge rushers. And that's that's 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.880 the way I think they should do it right. They 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:10.560 should Rather than designating defensive end versus outside versus linebacker, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.280 they should they should have a category that says edge 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.800 these are and so that way you would include the 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.240 three four outside backers and the four to three defensive end. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.480 But here you go for the edge rushers. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.280 Nick Bosa is at thirty four million, Josh heinz Allen 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.760 twenty eight point twenty five Brian Burns twenty eight point two, TJ. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.680 Watt twenty eight million, Miles Garrett twenty five. If they 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.320 had the designation edge, then that would be a higher 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.680 number than what you're getting there with the defensive ends 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:42.360 and the linebackers. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.800 So then what is your opinion on why they. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:49.480 Won't negotiation between the Players Association and the owners. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.160 I would think, yeah, the NFLPA, and it's got to 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:53.480 be negotiated. 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.600 How they set that, okay, and so because then you 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:01.160 look at the linebackers and it's much lower, and these 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.840 are inside backers. Rokwan Smith is it twenty million? Fred 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:10.320 Warner nineteen, Tremaine Edmonds eighteen, Matt Mulono fourteen point one, 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.040 Patrick Quinn thirteen point seven. I saw it so the 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:18.840 player from the players Association perspective, they likely won it 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.280 this way because it's helping your linebackers as a whole, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:28.360 because if you factor in edge guys as linebackers, outside 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.360 linebackers as linebackers, it's helping the whole linebacker and it's 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.320 not hurting the defensive ends as much. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:40.280 Although I did see with Fred Warner with his restructures 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:46.120 and signing bonuses, he would hit the San Francisco cap 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:51.200 for twenty nine million this year, which is pretty rich, 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:58.080 so they probably got to do which on segues to, Yeah, 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:03.680 Devo's gone, but even if he's gone, his dead money 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.199 is thirty one million. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.600 So well, if they would have kept him, then how 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.720 much would it be? And obviously they made a decision 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:21.080 for a reason, so the alternative must be even greater. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:29.520 Here here's his deal. I got this printed out. He's 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:34.360 got an option bonus March twenty first, and if they 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.040 activate the option. 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.520 Bonus for Deo for Debo, he was going to be. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.000 San Francisco put an option bonus in there, and they 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.840 put voided years to divide it by five. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:56.320 So. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.240 If they activated it, he was going to be like 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.680 fifteen million, but he was going to another in the 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.560 years that he's not there. So that's another thing Washington 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:12.360 has got to deal with because right now he's got 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:17.000 a seventeen point five million dollar one year hit for 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.760 twenty twenty five and it has a lot to do 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:27.679 with the option bonuts fifteen point four million, So yes, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:33.119 San Francisco, but they'll end up with a thirty one million. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.000 See this is what everybody forgets, Like, well, how did 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.199 they afford this, this, and this, Well they did until 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.320 now now they got thirty one million in dead money 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.800 trying to trade him for I can't believe just a fifth. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.080 Well it's because of the money involved, right right, And 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:56.560 it gets and just like people couldn't believe the Amari Cooper. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:02.320 For a fifth, right right. So you know at some 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.720 point you got to pay the piper. Yeah, even though 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.520 you pushed it around and it looks like you succeeded. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.240 So San Francisco pushed it around and they ain't got 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:17.080 that Super Bowl yet, and so you know, everybody says, well, 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.040 what's the big deal, Well, it is a big deal. Eventually, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:21.880 you got to be careful. 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.040 And they've got a quarterback that they're having to sign 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:25.359 right now. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.800 Yep, yeah, I've heard him. They said they want to 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.439 make it as attractive as possible. Right. 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.600 So, and if you noticed when we were talking about 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.240 oh soo, when got out that the Cowboys were negotiating 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.560 or talking with the agent at the combine, it was like, oh, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:47.320 this is impending to happen. Well, talk is cheap. It's 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.520 signing on the dotted line that you got to be 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.440 aware of it. And by the way, until the cowboys 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:02.400 exercise the trigger the clauses in the contracts of Dakh 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:07.840 and probably Ceedee Lamb and maybe Terrence Steele. Right now, 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:14.560 they have one point thirty nine million in available space, 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.360 so they got to do that before they can do anything. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:27.119 But contrast that to Washington before the debot right trade, 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.280 they were at I think eighty million. 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.840 Eighty three eighty three point seven, right, so they could 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.320 they could they could take the one the one year 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:43.800 charge and not have that money pro rated over three 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.480 or four years and have to keep paying for it, 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:51.840 or they can redo his entire contract, right, and the 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.240 contract starts at at least seventeen million. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.080 And see that's always the dilemma. 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.560 And you get your money up front because Debo asked 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.600 for the trade because this was the last year of 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.960 his of his contract and he knew want to play 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:09.359 the last year of the contract. 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.800 We'll see, there's there's this this two ways of looking 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.400 at it. There's like a profit and laws statement over 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.000 here that you want to keep right back, and over 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.560 here you just want to win, and you say, to 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.399 hell with profit and loss, We're gonna we're gonna all 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.880 that chaos that we created over here in the statement. 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.960 Forget that we're gonna go all in and win this 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:32.520 championship and win the super Bowl. 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.919 The problem is what are the percentages of you winning 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.280 the whole thing? Because if you don't, then. 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:40.320 You still got these problems. 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.880 It's double Jeppards. Yeah yeah, yeah, So, which is happening 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.640 in Philadelphia a little bit right now because they've got 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.960 some guys that they might not be able to afford 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.960 to re sign Josh. But what they'll be like, uh, 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.360 but they said we want it so big deal. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.760 They'll be They'll be like the guy to say, hey, man, 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:00.480 worth it. 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.879 Yeah, Well it's like what's It's always worth it until 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:04.280 it's not. 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:08.680 And see, and that's what happened with the Rams. They 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.440 went for it and they got it, got it, they 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.640 got it. Yeah, and then the next couple of years 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.480 they paid the price for it. But they've done a 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.399 really good job of restocking. And it gets back to 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:25.080 Matthew Stafford and the decision made on Friday. The Matthew 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.879 Stafford is staying with we haven't heard a number on 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.520 that deal, No, we have not, No, but it's got 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:32.800 to be going to be big. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.840
