9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: new one. So we'll see what they turn up here,

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: see if this one is any good. Um, I've been hit.

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I've tried this on a few times and been a

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: little hit and miss at times in terms of guys

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: who are still available in the Steelers picking, Like there's

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: no way that guy is gonna be available, Like, Okay,

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: so in this instance, Anthony Richardson is still available. Okay,

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: there could happen possibility on this one. Uh yeah, so

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: you got Michael Mayer. There are trades. Michael Mayor is

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: also available, Jackson Smith and Gigba, Brian Breesy, Roderick Jones,

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Cam Smith, Kaylee Ringo, Lucas van ness O, Cyrus Torrence

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Trent and Simpson, Jamir Gibbs, Clark Phillips, Jalen Hyatt, Isaiah Fosky,

21
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Drew Sanders, A Flowers, Nolan Smith, Anton Harrison. I'm not

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna go any farther down than that. Anybody jumping out

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: there on you and that one, well, I mean, I

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: don't know how realistic the software is or the site is,

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: but I think people would be calling for Richardson right now.

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there's after him. It's just such a big

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: gap I have. Yeah, I'm with you. I think that

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: they could definitely get at this point something for Richardson. Now.

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: We could look at that and say, you can offer

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: trades on this one. Okay that they don't want to

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: say five teams are offering us to trade. They don't

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: do it that way. No, Actually, I think they might left.

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: You might just last week. I don't know, the left

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: tackles a glaring, glaring need. But the names you mentioned,

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: Jones from Georgia is my favorite. Here's my theory on this, Matt. Yeah,

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers feel comfortable with the offensive line

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: that they have built. I feel like they feel they

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: think that these guys are all young, getting better playing

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: together playing together. Um, I think if they take an

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or two in this draft, it's going to

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: be in the middle rounds, not at the top of

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the draft, unless there's just somebody there that they just

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: can't possibly overlook pass up. And I don't know that

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: Roderick Jones is somebody look and go, oh, that's that's

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: our starting left tackle for the next fifteen years. Yeah,

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. And he may not even

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: start Week one, right, you know what I mean? Um,

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm up for offering deals though, because the group

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: that was sitting there did not make me do cart wheels,

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: and I think somebody would want Richardson. Say so, the

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: teams behind us are Detroit, can Umpa, Seattle, the Chargers,

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and the Ravens of the group, I think Tampa or

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Seattle looking to trade up for a quarterback. So I'm

54
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna got on the phone. Here are myself,

55
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give Tampa a call. All Right, they

56
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: got nineteen fifty two, they got a bunch of picks.

57
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: What if what if we let them keep their second?

58
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Right we take nineteen. I wouldn't mind picking up something

59
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: in that You know that that one to one six

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: range where they have four picks, I wouldn't mind picking

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: up two picks there, like if you've got two and

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: one of those they're saying right now, that's too much. Okay,

63
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: even the cheapest of those picks in that everyone, let

64
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: me see you're so nineteen. We're gonna throw in our

65
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: always throw in our last big Yeah, we're gonna throw

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: into forty three. We're gonna ask for eighty two. They

67
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: would do one, nineteen, they would do nineteen and eight, two, four, seventeen,

68
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: and to forty three. I guess only moving down to spots,

69
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: only moving down two spots. So if we pick up

70
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: a third for a seventh, yeah, man, that's good value.

71
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean we're getting reading two potential starters. We're only

72
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: moving down two spots. Yeah. I'm in on that too.

73
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: Let's do it. And we're moving on further than that.

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Let's do it. So we moved down to spots. Roderick

75
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Jones is still available. Okay, what are the other names though?

76
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Um you got on the list or the best corner

77
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: in the LISTA is camp Smith or Kaylee Ringo. I

78
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: think I'll take Smith over Ringo. Let me look, let

79
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: me look at see what other corners are available. Here

80
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: might be So you got Cam Smith, Kayley Ringo, Clark Phillips,

81
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Forbes, Deante Banks, Tyreek Stevenson, Julius Brentce, Cat You Blue, Kelly,

82
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: DJ Turner, Eli Ricks or the corner is still available.

83
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Not a bad group, but they're gonna go quick. A linebacker,

84
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Trent Simpsons, Drew Sanders still available. Sanders is an interesting guy.

85
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna tease this and we both did

86
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: it and along with Mike Purseudo did mocks and I

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: left him out of the first round and I kind

88
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: of regret it. He kind of reminds me of He's

89
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: not Michael Parsons, but he's no one is. But he's

90
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: kind of that Timmins Parsons, big guy that can come

91
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: off the edge too, and there's a lot of stuff

92
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: that he does. Yeah, he's expected to run sub four four. Yeah.

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I've already foolishly have just assumed they're going

94
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: to sign a linebacker and never had a linebacker is

95
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: one of my targets. But we don't know that. I

96
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: mean it's February, you know. I mean, he's a good player.

97
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: At a probably the biggest need as it stands right now,

98
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I would I would say it is. Yeah, I mean

99
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that and maybe a safety, you know, depending again that

100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: they don't sign anybody, which I expect that to happen,

101
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: but I think it's cheaper to sign safeties into his linebackers. Yeah,

102
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: and if you line up and say, okay, this guy's uh,

103
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: we take Trent Simpson here and we when we line

104
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: them up next to Miles Jack. Yeah, and then maybe

105
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: next year is the year that you know Jack has

106
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: gone and you go with the two young guys or

107
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: something like. I think Simpsons is extremely intriguing. I think

108
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I might prefer Sanders though. Well there's that too. I

109
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: mean they're both they're both good players, right, they're both

110
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Camp's best. Intriguing too. I mean his first round corners

111
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: a nice situation. We've never gone linebacker though, that corner,

112
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: that corner spot is deeper though. Yeah, and we picked

113
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: up an extra pick. What else? What else do we? Uh?

114
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: If we're looking here, because I really think the Steelers

115
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: first round pick is going to be a defensive player.

116
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: M I just think that's where they're that's where they're

117
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: they're leaning towards um. That's where the biggest need is

118
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: at defensive lineman. Too early for any of those guys. Uh,

119
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: if they were an edge he got van Ness there,

120
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: but he's not a full time player. Foskey is there,

121
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith is available, key On White is available, Derek

122
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Calls available. They're all fine. I just don't I don't know.

123
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: That's that's not the glaring need that you know. The

124
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: two spots are either like I think that. I think

125
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: there's basically two linebackers in this draft that are immediate starters.

126
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: And that's fine. I prefer Sanders just because of the size.

127
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: We could take Sanders. That's fine, all right, we moved back,

128
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: we got something and we take Drew Sanders. We've gotta

129
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: be plus for that. By the way, we got a

130
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: third round picking them, and we got a third round

131
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: pick ev and now we picking in at thirty two.

132
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: We did get a trade offer for thirty two. The

133
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars are on the phone. They're offering fifty pick, a

134
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, which is first round pick and round pick.

135
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: This is the beauty of having that thirty second pick.

136
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: Somebody is going to be on the phone with you

137

Speaker 1: board that we love though, Well, let's take a look

140
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: at it. I'm gonna close that for now here. And alright,

141
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: so Cam Smith is still available. That's a home run. Yeah,

142
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I think that's that's a home run. Yeah. Uh could

Speaker 1: be pretty late too, yeah, also available as Anton Harrison, Um,

144
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones, all the tight ends basically not named. So

00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you must Grave and and and those guys. But I

146
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: think you, I think you take Cam Smith here. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: thanks for the offer, Jack. That one got an A

148
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: plus grade. Yea, if we if we have flip flop

149
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: those we have been. We're back up at forty nine

150
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: and we have three trade offers, Matt, all right. The

151
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Bills are on the phone. They're offering one that's way

152
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: too low and the second rounder, which again is probably

153
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: going to be pretty low. The Bears are offering a

154
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, first round pick, round pick, and a

155
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: sixth round pick for two nine. Yes, I knew you would.

156
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I knew you would say that. The Colts are on

157
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: the phone as well. They're offering three seventy nine by

158
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: their fifth round pick this year and a twenty two

159
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: first round pick for They have a chance to be

160
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: pretty bad too, they do. I think the Bears will

161
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: be worse than the Colts though, But we're gonna we're

162
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna give up. We're moving back a hundred spots in

163
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: this draft. Oh, I get it, moving back for the

164
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: third first round pick. We're moving back thirty spots for

165
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: the Colt's first round pick. I just think, I just

166
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: think for the sake of of good radio, we reject

167
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: those offers and make the pick. Okay, that's one of

168
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: my faults for good radio. Part is if you're gonna

169
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: give me future first, I'm just gonna say yes and

170
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: yes and yes. Well yeah, I mean I get it.

171
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: We're oh hey, we we came out of this with

172
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the with the Bears first, third, and six round picks

173
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: next year. Okay, but that doesn't that doesn't fill our

174
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: radio time here. We're not taking any players and talking

175
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: about them. We got someone in the fourth round is

176
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: all we brought in this year. Realistically, if somebody called

177
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you up and offered you a US round pick for

178
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: your second round pick this year, you probably take it,

179
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: Especially a bad team like the Colts are. I'm with you.

180
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Okay, so we're back up here. Let's

181
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: make another rule though. Okay, we already traded down. I mean,

182
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: the chances of a team trading down more than once

183
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: in a draft is probably pretty slim unless you're the Vikings.

184
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Unless you have Vikings. So most won more trade but

185
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: maybe none. Yeah, I'm with you. That's what works alright.

186
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: So the top player available here at nine, the top

187
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: players Darnell Washington, Derek Hall, Mazie Smith, Noah Sewool. We're

188
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: not taking another linebacker, k Sewn Butte, Cody Malchklijah Cancie,

189
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Deante banks Well McDonald, Devin A. Cane, Irvan Dexterandre Carter,

190
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Keian new Benton, Matthew bergeron. Um, that's what we're looking

191
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: at here. See, I didn't have a problem taking a

192
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: once you've made your first two picks and they're both

193
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: defensive guys at fort nine, I wouldn't have a problem

194
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: taking an offensive lineman. I wrote down three names. Okay,

195
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: it might be a five position player, he might be none.

196
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's a little short armed. Cody Mush Yeah

197
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: that here, the North dakost State. Yeah, yeah, um Washington,

198
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: the tight end from Georgia. I mean, the Chiefs just

199
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl playing tons of twelve personnel and

200
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: thirteen personnel. He's a rare dude. We have an extra pick.

201
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: I know, it's kind of a luxury. McDonald the edge guy,

202
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: is also a bit of a luxury, but we have

203
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: the extra pick and he probably would have one of

204
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: the highest grades. And Benton from Wisconsin the detackle. I mean,

205
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: I like Derek Call a lot too. I don't think

206
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Stondald now I think about I don't.

207
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be available at fort nine.

208
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: In fact, I think he goes in the first round somewhere. Yeah,

209
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: when he goes to the combine and runs a sub um,

210
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: he might be the best player on board in terms

211
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: of in my eyes, I think he is um. I like,

212
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: I like the idea with Washington there, especially since we

213
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: got you know, I do think that again, he's six

214
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: seven and can block and can catch the football and stretch.

215
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Like you could just live him in twelve personnel, all right,

216
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: that would be my my thought. You know, it's right.

217
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: It really alleviates your receiver need. I can live with Miller, Austin,

218
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: whomever is my third guy if he's gonna be on

219
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: the field like fifteen snaps the game exactly exactly what

220
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: Washington brings compared to Gentry is night and day, just

221
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: in terms of weaponry, you know, the ability to affect

222
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: the game. You would do it. Yeah, let's not like

223
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: your whole call, but Washington me was would help more.

224
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: All Right, we got an A for that pick. Wait

225
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: does we got a B plus and A plus and

226
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: a A. So I think we're getting an A in

227
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: this draft thus far. A Uh, we're cruising down here.

228
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: We got picks eight and eighty two. That's which is

229
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: why we meet that trade. So we are back up here.

230
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: The top players available. You're gonna love this. The top

231
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: players available. Elijah Cancy, Will McDonald, Gervin Dexter, Tucker Craft,

232
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: Henry two to, Chris Smith, safety at Georgia, Jack Campbell,

233
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the linebacker out of Iowa, Zach Harrison, the edge rusher

234
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: out of Ohio State. Jacqueline roy uh defensive lineman out

235
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: of l s U. He's an interesting guy we haven't

236
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: talked a lot about yet. All right, big body, nose tackle,

237
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: he fits them. Old um, you said, I'm gonna love this.

238
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I like the McDonald you know, still being there situation

239
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: right here. You say a no lineman though, I mean, well,

240
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: we can look and see what's there at the at

241
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: the old line you're looking at, uh some kind of alignement.

242
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Jared Patterson out of Notre Dame, Andrew Vorhees out of USC.

243
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the interior guys right now. Uh Ola,

244
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: what Teamy in the center out of Michigan. Um, there's

245
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: a top interior guys on the outside. You're looking at

246
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Nick Broker, Why, Wayne and Morris, Ryan Hayes, Jackson Kirkland's,

247
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Zion Nelson, Trevor Reachs. So that's that's dried up a

248
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, it has. We kind of missed a

249
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: boat there. Um, I'm fine with Roy. We'll get another

250
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: pick here in two pigs. I think I think you

251
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: take McDonald here and hope that nobody takes Like there's

252
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: one Detroit's up next. Were the chances that Detroit takes Roy?

253
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I think they might take McDonald do it? I mean

254
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: we talked about him around ago, and we didn't talk

255
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: about Roy around to go. Yeah, let's take him. It's

256
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: a gift we got an ad for that one. Look

257
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: at us UH defensive line, Jacqueline Roy is still there.

258
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: Do we take him? Yeah? We didn't start worrying about

259
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: offense here at some point, but all right, the rest

260
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, the rest of the draft

261
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: can be offense. We still need a safety, but I

262
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: think we address that. We got an a for taking

263
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Jacqueline Roy. So we got two picks left one and

264
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: two thirty six, So these basically kind of have to

265
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: be offensive. Flaman. I guess I think the next pec

266
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: has to be a line. Yeah. I don't even look

267
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: at the other stuff. Something you like and not do it.

268
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: We did get another trade offer here for four one

269
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: t the Chiefs. Well, this isn't realistic. The Chiefs are

270
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: offering us for a fourth round pick. There are five

271
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: seven to seven seven to first round draft pick and

272
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: its twenty round back draft picks. That's not realistic. The

273
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals are offering UH second round draft pick and round

274
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: draft pick. Yeah. I don't think that's where you're not

275
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: getting a You're not getting a second round for a

276
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: future second for a fourth round pick. But obviously there's

277
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: somebody here that they like. We'll call Brooks is available. Um,

278
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: I like Brooks, but we just took We just took it.

279
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: We just took a notice tackle. Uh, interior offensive line.

280
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: Jared Patterson still there, Andrew Voorhees still there? Ola what

281
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: Teamy the center out of Michigan, Still there? Mhm. Bradford

282
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Bradford from l s U, Brandon Daniels from Utah

283
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: umpeting done as some lower rated guys. Uh at offensive

284
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: tackle you're looking at Nick Broker from Mississippi, Janya Morris

285
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, Ryan Hayes from Michigan, Jackson Kirkland from Washington,

286
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Zion Nelson from Miami. Nelson and Kirkland have been on

287
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: list forever. Yeah, I'd like to take a tackle here.

288
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: I would too. I think if the tackle is a

289
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: bigger need, you'd like to have a young tackle available.

290
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the crop to pick one,

291
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Well, let's take Jackson Kirkland then, Okay,

292
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: I heard good things about his Shrine Bowl appearance. We

293
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: gotta c plus for that pick. All right, now we

294
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: need a tackle. Now we get a little bit of

295
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: a wait here. So right now we've got Drew Sanders,

296
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: Cam Smith, Darnell Washington, Will McDonald, Jacqueline Roy, and Jackson Kirkland. Okay,

297
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know we have to go any direction here.

298
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: We could probably just take best available, best available with

299
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: this next one might even be a quarterback. Yeah, you're

300
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna you're gonna need a third quarterback right

301
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: as you're taking off to the board here. This is

302
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna be again the the tough part of the Steelers draft.

303
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: But if they made this, if they did what we

304
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: did at this point, they ended up with a six

305
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: of the top hunter twenty players that would have ended

306
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: up Okay, Yeah, which you take that all down round

307
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: now I'm warming up to the idea of trading back

308
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: in the first round. All Right, we're back up again.

309

00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: end from Louisville. Auprey Miller Jr. The linebacker out Jackson State.

319
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: I know we took Drew Sanders. He was impressive, though,

320
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: but I liked him a lot, a lot a lot.

321
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: If I knew he was gonna be there, I probably

322
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't taken Sanders in the first round. You know, I

323
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: probably taken um This is kind of a shortcut and

324
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: the highest graded dudes were. There were a couple of receivers,

325
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: which I'd be fine with. I don't know much about

326
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Daniels the interior alignment, but he was like the third

327
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: or fourth highest rank guy that you named off. I

328
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: think grab grabbing a guard slash center here would make

329
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: some sense. Brady Daniels. Yeah, Okay, grade isn't great on

330
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: those guys in this neighborhood, but you know there's there's

331
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: a need. There is a lot for him. If you know, Um,

332
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: I I have tough time passed on Hubery Miller. I

333
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: think at the very least you're getting a stud special

334
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: teams guy. Yeah. I don't think it would really be

335
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: there after the Senior Bowl week, but let's just take him.

336
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: You'll take him. Yeah, same thing with Merryweather for that matter.

337
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: I thought he had a good scene. Yeah, but I

338
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: could see, I could see. I mean, you could make

339
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: this kind of like the two thousand seven draft when

340
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: they took Lawrence Timmins and said, well, he might play

341
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker, and then they took Woodley with the

342
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: next pick in the second round and said, Okay, Tim

343
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: is gonna go inside, Woodley is gonna be outside. You

344
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: can you can take Yeah. I mean you're you've you've

345
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: increased your linebacker depth exponentially. Yeah. If one of these

346
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: guys can bounce inside and outside, if he's not gonna

347
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: play right now, if if Abur Miller is not going

348
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: to play right away, say okay, Aubrey, we're gonna we're

349
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna start you inside, then we're gonna put you outside

350
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: and learn that as well. Well you're well you're a

351
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: special team demon. Yeah, and fighting Mark Robinson really for

352
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: that role, right, I know everybody's penciling Mark Robinson in

353
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: for for like this huge role, and I don't know

354
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: that that's not going to be the case. I mean,

355
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: but we still haven't seen him go backwards yet. No, No,

356
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: I would I look at him ideally as breaks or

357
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: goes into camp as your three, right, you know, or

358
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: fighting Spillane for the third spot, because you know what

359
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Spellane is, and you're hoping and hoping and hoping that

360
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: he goes right past Baline in no time, you know. Yeah,

361
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna pick Aubrey Miller here, just best player,

362
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: best player available. We gotta b plus for Aubrey Miller

363
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: there there, Like you told me in real life, you

364
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: can get Aubrey Miller with his pick. Would you trade

365
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: that pick for it? And I said, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Okay,

366
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: So our draft, we got Drew Sanders, Cam Smith, Darnell

367
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: Washington at remember we also traded back. We got Will

368
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: McDonald at eighty, which is a steel, Jacqueline Roy at

369
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: eighty two, that was a pick we traded for Jackson

370
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: Kirkland at one twenty, and then Aubrey Miller at two

371
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: thirty six. Um really defensive oriented obviously, but yeah, but

372
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: we're really surprised him, no, And we really kind of

373
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: beefed up our bench, beefed up our special teams. Um. Yeah,

374
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: I mean I'd be in the market for maybe bringing

375
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: back Scott at tackle or Davis or you know, a

376
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: veteran O lineman. I'd be on the phone with half

377
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: of the draft probably. But then you can get those

378
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: guys relatively cheaply. Yeah oh yeah, yeah, I mean you

379
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: could probably get those two names will probably still be

380
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: available after the draft. That's the other thing we haven't

381
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: talked about yet. Matt, and I know this is mock draft,

382
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: nay madness. Um, but if you know people are looking

383
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: at the Steelers salary cap right now, how could they

384
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: be under the or over the cap right now? Well,

385
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So when I call it these uh,

386
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm just calling out spot track as we're sitting here,

387
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: and I hit managed roster. Mhm Okay, right now they

388
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: have estimated three They're estimated minus uh four point two

389
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: million dollars four point three million dollars. Well, if I

390
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: release William Jackson, now I've got seven point eight million

391
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: dollars to spend. Um, if I release a killow weatherspoon,

392
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: which I expect to happen at some point, now I've

393
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: got eleven point nine million dollars to spend. I'm cutting

394
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: Generosowski as well. Okay, that frees up. That gets us

395
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: a third teen point eight million dollars. I think there's

396
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: another name anymore. War two. I'm keeping trabisky. I know

397
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: that everyone. Yeah, but you gotta go. If somebody overwhelms

398
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: me and I want to trade, it's risky. Oh I'm interested.

399
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: That's different. You know, if somebody says I will get

400
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: and my my price tag four, I think a four

401
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: gets it done. Yeah, that lits into a five. But

402
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I think a four gets it done. Like the four's reasonable.

403
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: But I don't need to cut anybody else. I'm at

404
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: thirteen point nine and I can still. I can still

405
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: restructure t J. Hayward or t J. Watt, Cam Hayward,

406
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Making Fitzpatrick, Deante Johnson, Chokes, James Daniel Mason, Cole, Chris Boswell. Well,

407
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: those are guys that are all gonna be on my team,

408
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: right right, right right? Why would those are easy restructures?

409
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean you could dig up ten million in no time,

410
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: without a doubt, without a doubt. Yeah, there's a lot

411
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: of flexibilities just by making those those couple of moves

412
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: those couple of cuts, three cuts with thirteen point nine

413
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. Mhm. Now I bet when it's all said

414
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: and done, they end up with thirty is to spend.

415
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: They could do that really easily, like a simple restructure

416
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: on let's pick one. Who do you want to restructure here? Um?

417
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Boswell is a super easy one. But that's

418
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: not gonna get you as far. It's not gonna get

419
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: you as much. Yeah, but his cap figure is five

420
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: point six four million this year, right, I'm sure you

421
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: could get it down to two or something. Let's do minka,

422
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: he just signed his deal. Is he's an eighteen right now,

423
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: simple restructure cuts him down to seven point nine million

424
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: next year, and now you're at twenty three point nine

425
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: million dollars in cap space. That's one restructure, one restructure

426
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: and a guy who's going to be for a twenty

427
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: five year old player who's going to be on your

428
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: on your ruster for the next three seasons. And how

429
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: much more to what that? What'd that get us to? Total?

430
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: That gets us to twenty three point nine right, and

431
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: you could easily do what you could easily do. We

432
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: could do chokes. Let's let's throw chokes in there. He's

433
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: twenty six year old, right tackle, he's gonna be on

434
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: your roster. That gets you to twenty six point four million.

435
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: M h. The cap is gonna keep going up. It's

436
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: not like, oh man, they're maxing out their credit cards.

437
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: If you if you restructure t J, it's going to

438
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: kick the can down the road. Restructuring t J gets

439
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: you to thirty nine million. Yeah, I think they'll do

440
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: all those or several of those. Why would you not, right,

441
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: it's I mean, so it's it's not this dire need.

442
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: They could restructure Mason cole Hm. That gets you to

443
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: seven million dollars twenty almost twenty eight. I mean these

444
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: are easy moves, very easy moves, right, Yeah. I expect

445
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: several of those to happen soon. I think that I

446
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: think you know, the releases will happen first, right, Okay, yeah,

447
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: what's because you know, you have to be under the cap.

448
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: And then if they want to do you know, if

449
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: they wanted to make some signings, if they get through

450
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: into free agency and start looking at some stuff, lout,

451
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: well we want to sign this guy. We don't have

452
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: the cap space to do it. Okay, now we restructure. Mhm,

453
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: But it's not that hard. You're probably already in touch

454
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: with t J and make a you know, those guys

455
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: agents say, well you probably you know when you when

456
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: they had them signed these deals, he said, hey, we're this.

457
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: This is why you know, the Levy on Bell situation

458
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: that he didn't understand how the Steelers structure their deals. Okay,

459
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: they may not give you the money up front, the

460
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed money, but they were going to restructure him the

461
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: next year and you get guess what, you get guaranteed

462
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: money because when you restructure, that money becomes guaranteed. Yeah,

463
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: the players love the restructure absolutely foundational. Guys. You get

464
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: the money in March that you would have gotten in

465
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, over the course of the season, and it

466
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: becomes money that you don't have to get back right

467
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: right right, not to mention they're gonna give they're gonna

468
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: invest it somewhere and it's gonna turn into more money.

469
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna make your team better and right. So but

470
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, no, they got people for people

471
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: who don't understand that that's the situation right now. They're

472
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: they're they're quote unquote over the cap right now with

473
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: just a couple of easy moves, they will be well

474
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: under the cap. Yeah yeah, very easy moves, so they'll
