1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Good afternoons are in congratulations on getting that deal done. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, guys. Yeah, we're we're so fired up over 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: here about our about getting that deal behind us. And 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's just we couldn't couldn't have happened to 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: a better person in our organization than Dak. And you know, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: we're just pumped about what our future holds for us 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: and our quarterback of the future. And you know, as 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: you look around the landscape in the NFL right now, 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts in these quarterback positions, 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: and for us to have ours locked down with this 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: quality of a of an individual is certainly makes Jerry 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: and I feel great. Well, that press conference got rave 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: reviews from DAK and you and Jerry, would you say, though, 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: talking negotiation wise, is Dak one of the more worthy 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: opponents in the world of negotiations from a player side, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: you guys have dealt with. I thought Jerry's quote was incredible. 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: He said, if he was ever going to be taking 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: advantage of financially, he's glad it was the gay sitting 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: to his right, which was that And uh, but no, 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, that's just uh, you know, he's 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: got just such a mental toughness, uh, you know, a 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: conviction about himself. Uh you know, and uh you know 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: he certainly, uh we've always believed in him, but uh, 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, he's just able to combart mentalize and and 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and focus and and go and uh you know, he's 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: just amazing. And all we did is, uh do nothing 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: but gain more respect from for him as we work 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: through all this. Certainly, uh, you know, no one is 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: thrilled that it took so long. But as you know, 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: as I mentioned the landscape of the quarterback market out there, 31 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: you got to get this one right. And you're seeing 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: examples of situations in the NFL when they don't get 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: it right. You know, you got you a full blown 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: mess on your hands. And I'm more convicted than ever 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: that we got this right. Man. You know, we had 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: some really extenuating circumstances. Obviously this time last year, everybody 37 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: was locking down for the long They didn't know it, 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: but it was gonna be. You didn't know one thing, 39 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: but it was for the you know, gonna be for 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: a long time. And certainly that didn't help matters. And 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: then uh, you know, it's just we you know, at 42 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we wanted to get it right. 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: We felt like, we feel like we got it right, 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: and we're thrilled about it. So Stephen, we constantly debate. 45 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's sports radio, right, so we constantly talk 46 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: about how good are all these players? Where does this 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: guy rank? What is this guy worth? Blah, on and 48 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: on and on and on. I wonder what is it worth? 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: The part that Jerry was talking about today when he said, 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Roger Stallback said, find a guy who's a leader. What 51 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: is that part of it worth? Because even as a 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: guy who can be cynical, because I've been doing sports 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: radio for a while, like listening to Dak Prescott talk, 54 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: you just go, man, that's a dude. That that guy's 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: gonna lead the guys. Well you wanted me her five 56 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: fold Number one, The right guy has the biggest piece 57 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: of the pies, I said today, And uh, he just 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: checks every box and these key categories of leadership, of 59 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: an insatiable appetite to want to be the best, to 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: outwork everybody. He's got that Michael irv and quality to 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: him in terms of outworking competing. You know, he just 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: checks all the boxes. And you know, you can you 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: know it's a totally unfair to compare him to somebody 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: like this, but obviously Tom Brady has that, and uh, 65 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: he's just a fiery competitor and a winner and a 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: leader and a you know, an insatiable appetite to be great. 67 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: I just think it's all in front of Doc and 68 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna do nothing. Jerry and I are convinced we've 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: you imagine the time we spent with our coaching staffs 70 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: our evaluation staff, everything. H you know, just really looking 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: at this because you do want to get it right. 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: I just think he checks that rebox. Stephen, you thank 73 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Todd for working with you on the deal. When did 74 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: you feel like that you were making progress. Was there 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: a moment where you said, okay, I could get this 76 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: thing done. Was it initially or was it a couple 77 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: of days after the after the first call? You know, Brian, 78 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 1: you always you know, it's interesting. I think the biggest 79 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: thing is you You just get a feel when it's time, 80 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: and U certainly you can get a deal done at 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: any time. I mean you go back and say, well, 82 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: you could you have done it, you know at the 83 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, when the season was starting two years ago, Yes, 84 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: we could have done it. And we had certain convictions 85 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: at that time, and I wanted to make sure it 86 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: was the right deal for the team. And there's some 87 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: unknowns out there. But yeah, I think from the time 88 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: we talked for the first time, when we could talk 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: this year about his future, you know, it was just 90 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: a different tone, different tone. I'm sure he would say 91 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: I had a different tone, and I think you know, 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: I could just hear it that. Uh, you know, they 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: were ready to ready to get this done. And uh, 94 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything that you could you know, they're 95 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: gonna be a any type of easy, easy work to 96 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: be done. But we were in great communication every step 97 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: of the way from the start of this negotiating negotiations 98 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: starting starting this year. Well, I'm gonna make you mad, 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: but this is not the first time I've made you mad. 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: So I'll ask this question anyway you talk about you 101 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: and Jerry, we're talking about economics. So and was maybe 102 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: last year, with the way the landscape was, his ask 103 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: maybe too much for you, given what the economic landscape 104 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: was to make that deal last year. No, you know, 105 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: I never I'd never have an issue with ask what 106 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: someone asked for. I mean, they everybody is entitled to 107 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: their opinion on what value is. Uh, you know, I 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: think probably everybody had it right. I think our biggest 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: hold ups because we were real close a lot of times, 110 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: it was just, you know, it was the length of 111 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: the contract and as I told that, we're trying to 112 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: figure out ways to sign you up longer and keep 113 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: you around longer, not less. And I think that was 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: just you know, at the end of the day, was 115 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, the battle, if you will, the negotiation not 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: a battle. The negotiation was you know, it was just term. 117 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: And when you know that, you know, you were always 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: real close. If you were willing to you know, if 119 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: you were willing to go a certain way or they 120 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: were willing to go a certain way on term, then 121 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: it probably would have been done in quick order. Stephen 122 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: Jones was here in your Home of the Cowboys one 123 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: h five three the Fan. Last year's free agent class 124 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: with guys like you know, Whorley and Don Terry Poe, 125 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin, Haha, Clinton Dicks, those guys didn't really work 126 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: out for you. Guys, excuse me, do you feel like 127 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: this year, with the unique circumstances of the cap, that 128 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: you'll be able to get a different caliber of player 129 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: at a discounted or at a reasonable rate. Well, let's 130 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: go back to the point, uh anytime. You know, I 131 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: think it was a different situation this year, not being 132 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: able to work with the players, And I think it 133 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: makes it even more difficult when you're bringing in free 134 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: agents from other teams and you're not able to get 135 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: them into your culture, into your environment, into working with them. 136 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's you know, a big part of 137 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: And then you throw in the fact that we had 138 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: a brand new coaching staff for the most part, then, uh, 139 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, that made it all the more difficult, and 140 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: certainly on defense, Unlike offense, where we kept a lot 141 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: of the same language, we had a lot of the 142 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: same concepts. You know, they got their you know, able 143 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: to get their hands around that. On defense, you know, 144 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: we were making some significant changes. And and then you 145 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: add the fact that you got guys coming in from 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: from other teams, and of course that's where we you know, 147 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: we did most of our work was on the defensive 148 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: side of the ball in free agency to try to 149 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: fill some needs before the draft. Uh. You know it 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: just uh, I think it you know, it extingue, you know, 151 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: it really highlighted the issues that we're at hand. So uh. 152 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: But having set all that, which is a mouthful, I 153 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: do believe it'll be interesting and every year it's this 154 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: way that you can be efficient and free agency. But 155 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: I fully expect us to go back to having the 156 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: success we've had in previous years. Uh, you know with 157 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: finding some value and free agency. Is this a year 158 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: where you're going to be looking at restructuring veterans? Do 159 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: you anticipate doing one or more of those? Absolutely? I 160 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: mean we certainly that's going to be a part of it. 161 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: You know, we're going to have a pretty pretty locked 162 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: into a lower cap. Uh. So you know we've got 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: to uh you know, certainly a topic of conversation in 164 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: the press conference. Uh. You know, as we move into 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the future with new media deals, certainly you know, your 166 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts are that the cap will get better and 167 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: due time, and so we're gonna have to really manage 168 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,239 Speaker 1: through this. And you know, as I said there that there, 169 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, whenever it came to helping this team, uh, 170 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: whenever that was the negotiation, they were all in back 171 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: and his agent on structure and how to get this uh, 172 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, the best situation cap wise, what's best for 173 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: the team. He was always quick, quick to want to help, 174 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: and so, UH, I just feel like we're gonna we 175 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: are looking at some uh you know, some reworks, UH 176 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: to make sure you know that we give our team 177 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: and going into the draft we're able to fill some 178 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: of our needs UH and and not have to uh 179 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: draft based on neat. Now, Steven, I'm gonna take a 180 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: wild guess at the contracts you'll restructure. I'm gonna go 181 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: with Zach Martin, Tyrant Smith, and Lyle Collins since uh 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: Todd Archer tweeted it out literally as Gavin was asking 183 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: that question, So it says someone wondered you were I 184 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: was saying, Man, he's good. He says, roughly seventeen million 185 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: in cap room. Can you elaborate? I mean, I know 186 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: in general the word is defense, but can you elaborate 187 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: on what you view as the needs to fill before 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: the draft with that money? Well, as I said today, 189 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: certainly we took a huge step from the get go 190 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: when we hired Dan Quinn. Certainly he's got a lot 191 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: of skins on the wall. He's a super Bowl head coach. 192 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: Certainly was right there on the cusp, but went and 193 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: won and got away from him. But you know, the 194 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: one thing about Dan is you know, players want to 195 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: play hard for him, and he certainly got a great 196 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: defensive mind. That's where certainly he was the coordinator there 197 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: in Seattle when the Legion of Doom there and they 198 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: won their Super Bowl in Seattle. But you know, he 199 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: just brings a great culture, I think to the defensive 200 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: side of the ball, and you know, we've got some 201 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: good players over there. We just uh, you know, we 202 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: just unfortunately didn't play well this year on that side 203 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: of the ball. And I think Dan'll get it, you know, 204 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: get it to where guys like d loll and Randy 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: Gregory and young guys like Tristan Hill and Gallimore and 206 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: then get Layton and Jalen playing like they've played before. Obviously, 207 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Donald Wilson showed up great in the last half of 208 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: the year when he got his opportunities. There's some pieces 209 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: that are there. But yes, we've got to get out there, 210 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: whether it's the draft or free agency and you know, 211 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: really strengthen what we the defensive side of the ball. 212 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: We just feel so good if we can keep everybody 213 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: healthy about our offensive football team getting back back, getting 214 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: that offensive line back to three you just mentioned Lyle 215 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: and Tyran and Zach. Get them back healthy, get Blake 216 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: Jarwin back. We've got a good receiver corps. Just feel 217 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: good about the offensive side of the ball. So defense 218 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: is obviously going to be a point of you know, 219 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: where we're really going to be looking to get better. 220 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: And Stephen mentioned in the defense. Have you you guys 221 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: given any thought about the latent vanderresh the fifth year option? 222 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: Can you give us any insight on that. Yeah, we're 223 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: not ready to speak to that just yet, and certainly 224 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: we'll be going over that, but we have had which 225 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: is one another great positive is getting back situation behind 226 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: us because it has there's been a lot of energy 227 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: put into that over the last month and really fired 228 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: up to get that in our rear view mirrors so 229 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: we can really and you know, obviously Will has been 230 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: doing his work. He had been involved in the negotiations, 231 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: so he's been working hard on the draft and free 232 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: agency and those type of evaluations. But not ready to 233 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: speak to economically any of these guys just yet. Well, 234 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, France has got a couple of defensive players 235 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: and out there too right now. You know, you might 236 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: want to go look at so well, you got that, well, 237 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: you got him at the negotiating table. Maybe think about 238 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: some of those guys right there. You go, all right, 239 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: thank you sir, have a great day. He appreciate you, guys.
