WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Nothing Doing 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.920 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:09.600 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Clubs. 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.239 Let's go. Are you ready for a break? 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:16.840 Yes? 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:18.680 Are you ready for a break? 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:19.480 Absolutely? 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.599 Ready for a break? 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.840 Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.280 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.440 Were on with Ambar Garcia. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:36.159 Brian brought us Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.120 Hey, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.720 I'm hosting today. Derek is al being lazy, just kidding 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.159 kind of shots. It's somewhere and I hope he's enjoying 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.720 his time. I don't know where he ended up going, 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.520 but I'm here with Brian and I'm here with Patrick. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.360 We're going to talk about free agency. And I don't 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:06.840 really know start the show because not much has happened, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:12.119 but early thoughts on free agency. I know last week 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.720 we got to discuss some of the options that were 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.640 out there, some of the guys that you guys liked 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:23.119 or could potentially see ending up with the Cowboys. We 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.160 saw a whole list of different guys that have parted 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.240 ways with the Cowboys. Most of them have gone to Washington, 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:36.479 joined Dan Quinn over there and then only Tony Poller 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.039 ended up going to the Tennessee Titans so far, so 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.960 let's start off with him. Let's start off with the 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.400 running back position. Thoughts on where it's at right now. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.120 The Cowboys currently do not have a starter at the 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.480 running back position. Where you guys land with the current situation. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.600 Yeah, I think you need to keep an eye on 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.800 AJ Dillon. Here is what you need to do. I 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.320 think they're in the price range right now where at 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.160 that back that's site between one point five and maybe 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.240 three million dollars. The key here is going to be 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.160 able to pair a running back, a veteran running back 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.679 with the current running back in this college draft. And 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.520 there's several of them that have the quickness, the explosiveness, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.440 the finishing of the runs, the ability to catch the football. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.520 The one thing that a guy like AJ Dillon will 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.160 bring you and if you look at the numbers, it's 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.680 not really impressive. But what you look at, though, is 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.760 his ability to blitz, pick up, his ability to be 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.720 tough inside runner, and when he gets down on the 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.480 goal line, his ability able to finish. Now you might say, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.560 well you got Hunter Lipke that kind of situation. I 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.359 think they're going to need a little bit more here. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.600 So my focus right now would be on a guy 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.720 like Dylan potentially coming here at their type of price, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.200 and then more importantly, pair him with one of these 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.360 college backs in the draft that we've been talking about 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.440 on a weekly basis here on the Draft Show. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.160 Yeah, Dylan is definitely in play, and I think that 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.520 at this point, whether it be Dylan or or whomever 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.720 else you might bring in veteran, wise, you're gonna have 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.240 to tandem them with someone in the draft. Anyway, that's 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.560 where you are now with the Cowboys. You don't know 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.760 what you have with Duce Vaughan. He struggled to get 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.320 onto the field, and then when he was on the field, 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.839 didn't show you much. Last year, Hunter Libkey he took 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.040 some strides, so roses to Hunter lib Key, he's on 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.079 the right path, But you can't look at him and 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.840 definitively say yes, he's going to be my RB one 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.320 or even my RB two right now. And then you 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.920 have Malik Davis futures deal that's about to activate, but 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.399 still looking to prove himself as well. Snoop Connor's still 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.040 looking to prove himself. You've got a lot of unproven guys, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.720 so you want to go and get a proven guy. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.640 Dylan is an option. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.480 I still wouldn't and I know a lot of people 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.720 are wondering, I wouldn't put a strike through on a 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.520 guy like Ezekiel Elliott. Not quite yet sure, you know 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.640 me having some conversations with inside of this building and 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.880 in Zeke's camp. The dialogue has remained open between the 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.920 Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott. They've had some sit downs. Now 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.400 the topic, how do. 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.520 You see that scenario? 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:55.120 He fits. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.640 He fits in what we're talking about with an AJ Dillon. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.840 He's a guy, he's a tough guy. He blitz pickups, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.000 He's always aware. You know, he knows the situation, he 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.760 knows the team, they know him. You know. There's a 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.640 lot of positive things that way. You know, if you again, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.280 I think Patrick's onto something here. JK. Dobbins is another 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.400 one that was with the Ravens. I think you talk 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.240 about Freeman with the Chicago Bears. If you gave me 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.560 a choice of who to pair as well as I 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.560 know these college guys, to me, a guy like Ezekiel 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.400 Elliott or then Dylan makes the most sense because on 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.680 third down you're not asking a rookie. And we've seen 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.400 guys like zeke Win in twenty sixteen when it came 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.880 to blitz pickup and how well he was able to 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.000 do that. We saw with Pollard how he had to 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.200 develop that way. So to me, I'm going for a 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.240 guy that trying and make a match of somebody I 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.119 know I could put on the field in third down. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.440 If I don't want to put the rookie out there, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.320 I could put a bigger guy, a blitz pickup guy, 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.960 and then my offense can kind of either run the 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.400 football to get short yardage conversions, or they can find 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:01.880 a way to throw the ball knowing that they have 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.320 somebody that could pick up in the backfield, or you 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.719 can swing the ball to them and allow them to 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.000 get to get your yardage. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.080 And keep in mind, when it comes to Ezekiel Elliott 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.400 and the Cowboys parting ways, it was solely based upon salary. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.919 Yeah right, it wasn't because he had fallen off of 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.320 the running back cliffs, so to speak, as far as 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.000 production ability is concerned. So this will be a scenario 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.120 where he'd be possibly returning at a price point that 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.279 they'd be extremely comfortable with and at a point in 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.920 his career where he understands that they are probably going 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.720 to use a top pick on a running back that 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.159 compliments him as well. So I think that makes a 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.479 lot of sense. So AJ Dillon, I would not put 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.159 Ezekiel Elliott out of that conversation. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:38.520 JK. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.760 Dobbins and Brian said, those are the types of backs 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:41.719 you're looking at right now. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.560 Well, we'll see what happens today again. Free agency starts 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:51.279 officially at three pm, right, yeah, three pm time Central Times, Yes, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.720 so we'll see what actually happens. I know a lot 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.800 of people have been freaking out online on social media 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.520 about the lack of movement and understendably. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.880 So yeah, but that was going to be the case. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.479 If you follow any one of the podcasts that we 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.200 do on this platform and or you listen or you 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.840 read Patrick's work or any of your work or anything 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.520 like that, you knew it was going to be. You know, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.719 the all In thing kind of made us think something differently, 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.320 and then when wen we learned it all in was 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.240 really kind of the status quo. You know, they really 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.720 don't have money, They just don't when you know a 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.800 great example of that is, you know when they tried 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.839 to sign their you know, the running back the other day, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.080 and they're into basically into a situation where four million 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.400 dollars is too much, you know. I mean, they have 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.680 price point is somewhere around three, you know, Zack Moss. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.240 They're trying to sign Zack Moss potentially, and it got 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.359 to four million dollars and they just said we can't 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.440 go there, so you can like, okay, well then maybe 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.960 their price point is around three million dollars or less. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.640 So when you're you know, there, they could have flipped switches. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.320 I'm sure Patrick can tell you all about they could 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.719 have done this with. They could have done this with steel. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.640 They could have done this with you know, all these 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.039 contracts that they have, you know that they could have 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.080 done with digs, and they chose not to do it. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.880 And they chose not to do it because maybe they're 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.440 getting ready to clear the decks here. Maybe they're getting 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.920 ready to say, all right, you know what, we're going 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.600 to reset this thing, you know, and we'll see what 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.840 happens going forward. But they could have they could have 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.679 created enough money to go out and play in this game. 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.080 They chose not to because they have some things coming 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.280 up that they feel important that they have to do. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:30.800 So. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.480 I think that once those things kind of became on 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.840 the horizon and you saw them up close, you knew 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.320 they weren't going to do anything. But if they flipped 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.960 all those switches, all those things we talked about, boom, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200 they're going to play in this game. They chose not to. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.280 And so here's here's the problem that I have, and 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.320 thanks for the segue brought us. The switches are there 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.160 to be flipped by the cowboys. And for those that 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.200 are listening who haven't followed yet on Twitter, here it is. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.640 If you restroke your Trevonis deal, you get eight million dollars. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.880 You restructure still, you get five million. You restructure Donovan Wilson, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.640 you get three million. You're likely going to release Michael 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.440 Gallup if you can't find a trade partner, which you 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.600 probably won't. We'll see if that happens. If you do, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.680 you post him, you set him as a post June 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.440 first designation. That's over nine million, almost ten million dollars. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.120 That's what twenty five million dollars roughly. And I haven't 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.600 even talked about Deck's contract yet, So you can free 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920 up twenty five million before you even touch DEAK. Now, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.560 if you want to go ahead and restructure or extend DK, 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.840 throw another twenty one twenty two million dollars on top 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.960 of that they have roughly between just the switches I'm 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.400 talking about. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.680 I haven't talked about anyone else. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.600 You could do, Zach all of that, But just based 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.160 on what I've mentioned, that's forty five forty six million 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.640 dollars in cap savings waiting to be used if you 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.520 wanted to use it. But the fact that you're not 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.240 does not. It flies in the face of the all 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.600 in comment, right, And that's the problem that I have 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.200 with it is the problem that a lot of fans 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.240 are having, right it And. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.559 I said, I tweeted it last night. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.559 If you look at it from outside acquisitions, in the 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.760 first two days of free equency, free agency, this is 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.120 that's quote for the Cowboys, right. But the problem is 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.240 is you went into this saying you were all in, 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.240 so you set that expectation, right, so that expectation. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.800 Is not being met in any regard. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.200 And on top of that, what worsens it is this 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.480 time last year, one thing the Cowboys have been good 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.920 about is keeping some of their in house guys. Yes, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.240 so not only did you not bring anyone in, which 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.000 flew in the face of your all in comment. Right 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.600 on top of that, now you're an overdraft when it 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.840 comes to you lost Durran song Strung, they lost Tyler, 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.160 Yadish and you Fowler, you lost Tony Pollard. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.040 Hey we got a snapper, We got Trent that we 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.000 do need a snapper. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.600 But my point is is you you are zero here 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.199 and you're in the negative here, so everyone's looking at 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.760 you saying what are you doing now? Of course, realistically speaking, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.960 a deal might land today. The things are going to 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.760 start to pick up over the next several days because 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.560 as you get into the secondary and tertiary waves of freegency, 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.480 that's when the Cowboys really start doing their work. But again, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.960 this is why the fan base is upset, and that's 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.760 justified because if the owner in general manager never says 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.079 all in, then how does this what's the perception of 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.240 what's going on right now? It wouldn't be as pressing 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.120 as it is right now. And then you tie that 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.520 to your head coach is going into the final year 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.920 of his contract, Your franchise quarterback is going into the 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.800 final year of his contract, you know, and then Tyron Smith. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.320 Is he staying? Is he going Zach martin his country? 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.280 I wasn't close to the door in Tyron Smith though. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.640 For me this and this is just my thought because 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.640 there's only one coach out there that knows how to 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.360 handle Tyron Smith, and that would be dan Quinn. Dan 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.120 Quinn saw it firsthand that if you don't practice him 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.040 and get him to the game, that you're probably going 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.640 to get thirteen games out of him. There's not many 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.880 other programs out there that are willing to just let 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.000 guys sit out of practice just to get him ready 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.439 for the game. You know, I talked to several coaches 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.680 last week about it, and I said, you know, hey, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.360 we love Tyron Smith as a player, but what happens 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.920 to you is he's going to come in, he's gonna 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.520 have to learn a new system and all that, and 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.760 you're going to have to practice. We want our players 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.880 to practice. Jason Garrett used to talk about that all 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.600 the time. We want our players to practice. Every coach 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.000 that's ever coached Pee Wee High school, whatever, they want 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.240 their players to practice. So dan Quinn is the only 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.679 one with the Commanders that saw it like, okay, if 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.080 we had to do this, but the fact that he 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.760 hasn't got any type of offers yet, I think it's 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.199 pretty significant, you know. I think maybe people are saying, listen, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.600 this tackle class is really deep in the draft. Might 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.720 not have to go that direction. It might be where 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.920 really where Tyron Smith doesn't have an option. And I 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.160 could be dead wrong about this, but right now, the 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.080 way you kind of read it is that there's teams 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.400 out there that are like, listen, we'll draft to tackle. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.280 There's quality tackles here. We don't have to pay for 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.720 a guy that potentially can only play thirteen games, you know, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.599 and we don't have to practice he doesn't practice. That 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.680 could be significant that he could come back hat in 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.160 hand and say listen, okay, I like being with you guys, know, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.120 but I think a lot of it has to do too. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.079 We'll see where Dallas is with this, because I think 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.600 the way the draft falls for Dallas. If Dallas gets 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.440 the tackle they want, I think that keeps Tyler Smith 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.520 that left guard. If they don't get the tackle they want, 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.200 maybe this makes it now where they have to move 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.560 Tyler Smith to left tackle. I think the draft is 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.800 going to dictate. They're not going to tell us what 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.400 they're gonna do with Tyler Smith. I believe they're gonna say, well, 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.040 we want him to play guard, and he's a he's 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.520 a Pro Bowl guard, and there's people that believe he 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.360 could be a Pro Bowl tackle, which he was, so 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.720 to me, I think the draft is going to dictate 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.280 what direction they'd go with Tyler Smith. That's just my opinion. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.199 And again i'm not I'm not. It might happen today, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.839 might happen tomorrow or the next day. I haven't closed 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.560 the door on Tyron Smith because because he's he's a 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.760 unique situation that most teams would love to have. But 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.560 there's a lot of things that go along with there's 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.080 a lot of things that go along with him being 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:03.680 on your team. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:04.840 Yeah, there's baggage. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.360 And that's why when the news broke that the meeting 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.280 between the Cowboys and Tyrant's representatives at the combine didn't 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:11.920 go well, that's why I said, hey, let it play out, 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.800 this is how it goes might and so many people 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.319 were writing it off or he's already going. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:17.520 It's not going until he's. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:22.480 Gone, Yeah, until it's official. Yeah, and he's he's out 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.240 there still. That's the thing you have to know. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.160 And keep in mind we're saying he's out there, and 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.480 yes he's he's one of the more premium tackles left 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.200 tackles out there. But guess what, Tyler Biadis flew off 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.800 the board on day one, right? Are you telling me 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.040 that Tyler Biaddish has more value on the open market 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.839 than Tyron Smith. If that's the case, then it just 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.280 kind of goes to what we're saying as far as 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.480 don't close the door on the possible retention of Tyron Smith. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.840 And if the Cowboys, if that happens and the Cowboys 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.319 can keep Tyron in the building, that would be massive. 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.320 That would be huge. That would be massive. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.600 Well, let's go ahead and take our first break. When 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.920 we come back. I do want to circle back on 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.960 the whole situation as to why have the Cowboys not 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.240 restructure more contracks to free up some money and what 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.400 do you guys think is actually happening or what is 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.680 their thinking right now? After this break? 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.800 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.800 Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.720 online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.440 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.800 But the good news is Todd has at and T 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.560 five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.840 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.520 toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.200 T five G.

We know the moves that 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.440 could happen. But there's always two sides of the story, right, 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.399 There's always a why and just trying to get in 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.399 their heads and see what's happening over there. What do 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.560 you guys think is actually? 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:12.359 Oh yeah? 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:20.560 Segment presented by blockchain dot Com. There you go, Okay, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:25.119 you guys just talked about how you guys feel, What 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.160 do you guys think they're thinking? What is the reasoning? 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.560 What is the possible reasoning if you had to try 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.600 to find some type of understanding as to what's going on, 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.280 because we all know when free agency starts, we knew 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.840 when legal tempering starts, and we also knew how much money. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.200 They knew how much money they had available, so they 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.320 could have already made some moves to free up a 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.200 bunch of money to be able to use once free 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.520 agency hit. So why tell me a reason what's going on? 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.920 Because the math is right in front of us, right, 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:00.760 So they have all these switch that they can pull. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.040 But the reason, one of the reasons they're probably not 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.440 pulling it is because they're staring at the brick wall 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.560 of twenty twenty five. All of this dead money that 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.840 they've been kicking down the cam from restructures, it's waiting 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.760 for him in twenty twenty five, and they can't push that. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.840 What's waiting for them next season can't be pushed anymore. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.520 So what they're trying to do is put themselves in 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.280 a position where they can be a competitive roster but 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.840 also have some cap rollover that helps them with what's 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.280 waiting for in twenty twenty five. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:27.760 Now that's the fact. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.679 Okay, the problem though, because what I'm about to say 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.520 doesn't make that untrue. But it's also true that you 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.960 said all in. So if you're saying all in, all 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.680 in is not worried about twenty twenty five salary cap. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.640 It's about building a championship caliber team in twenty twenty four, 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.400
