We 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.440 were here last week. Mickey Spagnola was not here last week? 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.840 Is anything happy? Mickey wasn't here last week? He wasn't 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.440 You didn't know. I wasn't remember. He was on a 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.080 ski slope somewhere. Oh and I was sitting over there, right, yes, right, yeah. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.160 When I sat there, I was hoping. I was thinking 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.039 that the chair would make me like cranky, you know 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.960 what I mean. But it didn't. I was like the 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.679 same person all over. It helped you be knowledgeable, No, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:16.280 it did not pass it off to you. You did 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.120 not know I was. You don't have to save the 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.840 show because I was definitely dragging it down with your 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.240 energy from your chick I was. I was thinking about 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.080 your guys, your Oh yeah, I didn't call in. I 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:36.400 almost I almost called in. Didn't feel the energy where 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.039 you saying Chris going down to the old bunny Hill. Ye, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.640 not the black Diamond, He's going down the bunny hill 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:49.880 Bunny Hill A four? Yeah, of course three. Um. Oh, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.960 you didn't come in on crutches. So that's a good thing. Goodness, 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.160 my achilles passed the test. How many times have you 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.480 been on the ir man many times you got hurt? 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:09.400 Ir Yeah? Like okay, okay, okay, okay, you probably count 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.400 that probably four times, four times, four times? And how 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.440 many years? I think the first time it was like 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.360 but how forty some years ago? Okay? Wow? So in 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.960 the last like it's like five years, it's been like 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.919 three times three yeah. Wow, that's a lot. You're starting 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.880 to break down. That's why, that's why you can't sign 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.680 these over thirty year old right, right, careful better be 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.280 careful with the guaranteed right. I haven't had any guaranteed 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:46.400 any well. Uh. And it was a time, by the way, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.560 you had a good time. You needed a ding? Yes 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.600 was your tan? I mean I was covered up? It 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:57.560 got colder. Where were you Summit County in Colorado? Okay? Um, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:03.400 I'll tell you one funny story. First day finished, we 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.799 were at the top going to ski down one more time, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.679 and that was it. Took a break when he got 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:16.040 some water warmed up, came out. My skis were missing. WHOA, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:21.320 no skis. They weren't there. Someone took them, lying, bro, no, 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:29.320 So it gets funnier. Okay. So I I kinda hung 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.840 around for a while, right like outside the upper Mountain house, 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.480 there's like four racks of skis and I knew where 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.400 I put mine. They weren't there, So I kind of 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.560 waited and said, okay, maybe somebody by mistake took them. Right, 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.160 So I started looking around and I found another pair 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.480 of skis that were exactly like mine, except the poles 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.600 were different. They had red handles, and I'm going, Okay, 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.600 somebody can't be that stupid to take mine and not 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.440 notice the poles on the handles on my poles are 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.920 black and his were red. Right, that little distinction is 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.400 that's huge? Okay? Okay, So I hung around, hung around, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.559 and it was getting ready to close up, and those 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.239 skis were still there, and I'm going that guy took 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.640 my skis, But I said, what are the chances that 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:28.040 he took my skis and his foot his boot fit 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.560 in my bike, right, so you have to have another 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:36.160 little pits. I was sitting there, yeah, and what are 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:41.680 the chances somebody's gotta side. So I was sitting there 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.680 and my wife goes, well, see if those fit you, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.800 and I go, well, there's no way that's going to happen. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:52.640 So they fit right. So I took a picture of 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.160 the skis and they told me to go down to 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.120 Lost and Found. When I get down, so I had 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:02.640 to ride the iron gondle down on looking right. Well, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.440 so I didn't it sounds like lack of playing to me, Chris. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.760 So you know what, there was a sticker on the 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.080 guys on the guy's skis. It had his name on there, right, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.719 So I took a picture. I go down to the 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.520 Loss and Found where they told me, and the guy says, yeah, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.400 you know what, if we got his name, we can 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.680 look up his left ticket and track him down and 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.640 see if he took your skis because I left the 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.680 other ones up there right, So he was waiting on 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.800 somebody else and he said, okay, we need to fill 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.080 out this form. So we started filling out the form 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.240 and I showed them the name on the skis, and 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.720 he repeated it and had the guy's address, so it 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.359 must have bottom. Right, there's a guy standing next to 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:52.240 me and he goes, wait a minute, that's me. Oh, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.800 he took my skis. He had him in his car 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.719 on the rack, and then he realized that the polls 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.279 were different and he came back to see if something, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.440 but see nobody. That's small distinction. That's tough too. You 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.160 know what are the chances though? The guy was standing 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.440 right there, Oh he was. He was a little bit taller, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.320 not much, so I marched him right to his car 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.640 to get my skis. I said, they might send years down, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.400 but give me my skis. And you know what. The 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.280 moral of the story is, skis no the moral. The 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.400 moral of that story is that the cowboys haven't done 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:36.359 squatting free agency. Because we're talking about Mickey's skis the 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:42.960 first five minutes. What do you mean, Yeah, I have 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.400 nothing to talk about, other teams to talk about, not 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.560 on the verge of signing Dooran's armstrong. You're not excited? 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.040 The only the only yeah we can talk about? Not 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.680 what not signings we had. Let's talk about how about 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.440 that one? I got a long list. I bet you 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.440 do well that I'm wanted the top of the list, 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.400 go right to the top. Yeah, where were you starting? 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.960 There's so much to do. Gotta start. We gotta start 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.200 with Come on, we gotta start with Randy. Guys. Come on, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:12.120 let's just start. Yeah, man, let's go. Let's just get 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:13.960 it out. I mean, what do you think happened? I mean, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.240 what was the what was the I don't deciding factor? 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.720 Is it that obvious that the man just wants to 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.280 go somewhere week and smoke some week? Is it that obvious? 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.240 Come on, having been in Colorado for a week where 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.200 it's legal, Well, it's legal. I'm sure you smelled it 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.440 at the airport as soon as you came in. The 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.600 dispensaries are about as plentiful as seven eleven. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.160 I've been there. I've been there every corner by the way. No, 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.120 I don't you know what. I'm not sure he wanted 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.080 to be here. I don't know why, and he didn't 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.920 have the nerve to tell Jerry No wait wait, Okay 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.480 said again he I don't think he I think his 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.239 agent wanted him in Denver. Okay. Schaefer is based in Denver, 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.080 by the way, But but is that a factor Your 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.800 agent tells you that, I think Jerry talked him into it, 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.760 and then at the last minute it was like, Okay, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.960 we're gonna come up with some menial excuse for not 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.800 saying so the agents running everything you're telling me, Randy 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.000 Gregory well has no say in his own future when 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.280 you're talking no, I think he didn't. I think he 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.320 wanted to go to Denver and he didn't have the 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.000 nerve to tell Jerry no. So we So you think 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:31.360 that after all that we've been through together, you know, 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.880 bringing him out of you know, really from being out 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.920 of the league, hanging on to him, having trust in 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.640 him kind of you know, molding him a little bit, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.079 making sure he's okay, give him a chance to to 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.640 have a new a second career, and then to him 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.920 feel indignant that the Cowboys didn't trust him and had 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.920 that in his contract. Come after what they've been through 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.320 with him. Yeah, how long was this was this? Well, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.040 it's been sick years, right, he was a two twenty 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:07.240 fifteen draft choice, right, but he only bet seven seas. Yeah, 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.600 five five years of but but you know, going through 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.640 all the ups and downs together, right, Yeah, together. You 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.439 would think that he would say, you know what, this 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.040 is my place, this is what I'm going to be. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.040 I don't That's why, I mean, we're in harmony. You 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.319 do you think it? We're in harmony. I don't understand it. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.680 I don't think there's any logic to the entire thing. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.440 And and his agent has been around for a long time, 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.880 So don't tell me he came up with this excuse that, oh, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.719 they snuck this clause into the contract. He knows what 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.480 the Cowboys contracts are. He knows to read the whole thing, right. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.600 Don't don't come up the last minute and say, oh, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.200 we changed our mind, and and and the other thing 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.720 that ties into this. I was reading. See, I was 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:04.360 told from here von Miller was going back to Denver. 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:11.439 And then when Denver saw that they could afford million dollars, yeah, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.560 well it's actually it's actually three years, fifty three million. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:19.319 It's a little under eighteen million a year. It's seventeen 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.079 and a half over the first four years of the contract, 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.840 fifty one million guaranteed. But after Denver saw that they 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.120 couldn't afford that, they said, okay, we're signing Randy Gregory. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:35.960 And it was cheaper. So yeah, there's no way they 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.600 tried to sneak something in there. It's there. It's on 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.440 everybody's contract. Schaefer knows that, and to come up with 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:49.000 that was the excuse. I just so the Gregory contract, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.920 even though it reads five years seventy million, twenty eight 0:10:53.000 --> 0:11:00.800 million guaranteed, what is it in reality it is? Is 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.200 it two years twenty eight million? It basically so it's 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:16.000 five years seventy million, he's guaranteed his guaranteed twenty eight million, right, 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.880 and so four million base salary for twenty twenty two, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:26.200 fourteen million base salary guaranteed for twenty twenty three, So 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.559 that's eighteen and ten million dollars signs. Yeah, so it's 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.120 twenty eight million. So by the third year they can 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.439 get out of it with a it was a ten 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.120 million dollars signing bonus. Yes, and so the way I 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.720 looked at six million, at six million dollars on their cap, 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.360 they get out of it in their third year. From 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.080 a cap of cap standpoint, it's a three year, forty 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.440 two million dollars deal and they can get out of 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.720 it in twenty twenty five for four million dollars and 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.479 ten money. Okay, so yeah, it's twenty eight million guaranteed. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.880 So do you think he's think getting up back forget 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.040 that note? Do you think that he is that influenced 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.560 by his agents to where he would like, hey man, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.760 forget what these guys did for you. You know, this 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.120 is the way you need to be in I'm convinced 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.199 somebody got in his head? Is he that is it 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.800 that he needs to get in his head? I don't 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.880 know what kind of can I don't. I don't know. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.880 I don't because he seems I mean, I think he's 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.640 pretty bright, pretty sharp. Uh, and I don't know that 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.000 he did. You know, he got indignant because he's you know, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.440 and here's the weird thing. If you get suspended, you 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.880 don't get paid. That's part of the league, and it's 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.520 part of the league that the team has to write 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:46.280 to get pro rated signing bonus back from the games 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.000 you missed, ghost, ask Lele Collins. That's why Lele Collins 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.120 fought his six game suspension. It wasn't about well, I 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.200 got to play, No, I got to get my money, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.360 and that's why he was fighting the suspension. So, now 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.400 what is the nuance between the Lyle Collins versus what 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:11.439 would happen with Gregory because you're talking about suspensions versus fines. Correct, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.080 you're talking about your claus in the contrast, it's it's 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:20.079 it's but it's a suspension, so they have the right 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.560 to get money back from that. They've paid and the 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.200 process would be the same whether you're talking there's no 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.719 nuance between the two. Well, I don't know that the 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.720 fine like, if the league finds you, they don't suspend 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:38.480 you now for testing positive for a substance, um if 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.959 you get fined. I don't know how it league works, 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.959 but I guess the team, if you're the team, wouldn't 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.040 try to get money back because you're not missing any right, right, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.480 But if you're missing something, they have that right. So 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.719 I I was I was shocked. And they were two 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.880 by the way, and and then there was this thing 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.680 floating around that well the Cowboys screwed up the negotiation 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.839 because Jerry and Stephen weren't part of it. And you know, 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.959 their capologist, Adam was taking care of it. No, they 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.480 were on the phone with him and had convinced him 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.200 to sign with the Cowboys, but Denver was already talking 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.440 to him right That's why I wrote today that you know, 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.800 the Broncos on their social media tweeted out surprise, and 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.800 it's like, do you think anything surprises me these days? 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:35.000 Absolutely not. Well do you think that they're delayed in 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.920 working with him as well? Because it seemed like he 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:43.560 was not necessarily priority? We got Gallup done, right, Yeah, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.040 Cooper's gone, But he signed the same deal with Denver 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.800 that he was going to sign with the Cowboys. So 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:57.520 minus the clause, yeah right, yeah, I guess, yeah, but 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:03.160 it's the same deal. Yeah, well minus the claws. But 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.960 they said we didn't know that clause was in there. 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.920 I ain't believing it. So how upset should the Cowboys 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.920 be that Randy Gregory's not on the team. I think 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.800 they probably should be very upset, I think so, especially 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.480 after all the time effort, and remember what was it 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.760 two years ago? They advanced him money and extended his 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.840 contracts so he could pay for his rehab when he 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.680 wasn't playing. Then when he got suspended that entire season. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.400 I mean, they've bent over backwards to keep it, no 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.080 doubt they've. They've made some concessions, no doubt they have. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.320 So Okay, maybe i'll rephrase it this way. Um, do 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.720 you two think that he should have been a priority 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.400 in free agency? Well, he was they were signing before 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.880 in your opinion, in your opinion, if you were, if 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.520 you were calling the shot and putting this team together, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.560 would he Well, you think they should have paid him more. No, 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:10.440 I'm myself, I'm like, look elsewhere. I'm just looking at 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.480 the track record over the last seven years, right, and 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.840 with that kind of money, with that kind of money, 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.520 and it and it's not the off the field stuff 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.320 at all, because that's seems to be taken care of. 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:27.360 It's I mean, the production has not been there. This 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.920 past season. Even the production was not there. He didn't 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.600 stay on the field for seventeen games. He had six sacks. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:39.040 There's plenty of guys out there, and you can find 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.360 you can find edge rushers. Go go find some other 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.200 edge rushers and spend them out there. I mean, that's 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.080 that's the way I looked at it from the get go. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.040 Is okay, he's unless he comes at a at a 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.480 rate that you're comfortable paying. And I would not have 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.800 been comfortable paying fourteen million dollars a year because I'm 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.360 not I haven't had the production. I mean it's sixteen 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.360 sacks in his career and move on, let's go, let's 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.399 let's find somebody else. See And I think when you 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.320 look at some of the plays that he made and 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.120 I see the talent is there. Yeah, yeah, you saw 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.560 some of the amazing plays that went along with an 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.240 entire group that was making a lot of good plays. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.960 So he fit in well with that group. And so yeah, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.800 you can bring somebody in another edge rusher. Edge rushers 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.360 don't have to necessarily be in tune to the defense. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.720 The edge rushers if they were limited in what they 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.400 have to do their responsibilities, but that's what gives them 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:37.040 the ability to kind of be creative physically. They don't 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.680 have to think too much because they're at they're just 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.679 playing edge rushers. But yeah, you you know, when you 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.040 look at it, he did well within the concept of 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.280 this defense and all those other guys that were making plays, 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.960 but it wasn't sustained over the course of an entire season. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.879 And I think part of what you would be paying 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.119 for is the threat, because you know what he's capable 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.480 of if he ends up producing, and other teams have 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:04.400 to account for his presence and and it's not all sacks. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.480 It's his ability to put pressure and he had a 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.239 bunch of pressures. Um led the team in pressures if 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.080 I'm not mistaken, And and and the fact that he 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.560 could play the run now if he just stays on 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:25.040 side Um. But that's another of those. That's another. But 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.280 there are a lot of edge rushes right out there. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.000 I mean, no doubt about it. We are in regards 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.520 to just getting to the quarterback. Yes, we can always 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.320 find someone. But can we find someone that could do 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.160 the small things right, you know, the play the run 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.960 well and be the threat that he that they got 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.080 a better edge rusher playing linebacker right now, well they do, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.359 but then they don't have and so there's other there's 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:54.480 other ways of skinning this gat. Okay, So if if 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.480 if you can't find edge rushers, you got one at linebacker, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.560 play him at edge rusher and and sign your linebacker 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:06.760 or three or three. So, I mean, guy, it comes 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.680 down to what kind of money you're going to stip. Well, 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.679 and here's here's the other thing. Everybody's saying, well, okay, 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.960 now they because his average was going to be fourteen 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.160 million a year, right, But you don't immediately count fourteen 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.520 million a year against the salary cap. So what his 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.120 cap charge was going to be for the first year 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.439 was six million dollars. So that's all they got to 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.600 play with, right for this year, it's six million dollars. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.040 It's not like, okay, they got fourteen well, let's go 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.800 spend fourteen million on somebody else. Now it doesn't work there. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.639 So the cap that Cooper created for us, that's pretty 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:49.879 much used up with a two contracts with Shelton and Gallup. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:55.960 Uh primarily, although Schultz's contract they'll get a long term 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.359 deal done with that. He's not going to play under 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:05.080 the TA for a ten point nine million dollars. But 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.280 my point on the edge rusher thing is if I'm behind, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.560 if if I'm back there in making decisions, Okay, Randy 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.320 Gregory didn't take our offer, he moves on. I mean, 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.439 I think you've got in your hip pocket that Michael 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.719 Parson's card and you could always go that way, right, 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:26.240 And they don't know apparently him there every downright game, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.560 But apparently the draft has there are some good edge 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.200 rushers in this draft. There are other guys out there 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.320 or whatever, and there's there's there's guy, and there's a 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.560 number of ways to. You know, we focus so much 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.399 on our own players that I lose sight of what 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.000 else is around the league. You look around and there 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.320 are some guys out there that can contribute. Maybe they're 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.239 not in every down, but a specialty pass rusher. I mean, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.360 Houston signed one, and this Oboko, who I think has 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.560 got a lot of potentially. He was with the Rams 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.840 the last four years, and Rams are pretty set at 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.400 in their front seven, and now he gets an opportunity 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.360 back home in Houston. I would have you know at 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.639 he probably I don't know what he signed for, but 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.239 it was a one year deal. It wasn't for that 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.280 much money. Bring him in here and you know and 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.879 um and you know as a third down pass rusher. 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.439 So you're saying you don't need to give a thirty 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.639 three year old edge rusher a six year, one hundred 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.600 and twenty million dollars man. That was crazy thought. And 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:35.400 guaranteeing ye years that was impressive. His agent must really 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.600 be good. I don't know what he saw are it 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:46.520 shows you Buffalo had money to spend the cap, I know, 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.040 but they're not spending on their quarterback. Right He's still 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.040 under his first contract, if I'm correct, and tell me 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.200 who their running back is, tell me who the slot 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:01.320 receiver is. Now, let go who's available? Right, Okay, comes back. 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.800 So when we come back here on mix shots, we 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.639 move into the wide receiver, realm on this team and 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:12.680 other things that are going on that impact this team. Yeah, 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.639 they'll make some moves eventually in free agency, just not 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:20.400 the first week. Race yourself for an existential question.
