I 63 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: didn't get all the details, so I don't think this 64 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: wheel just like randomly fell off. They probably could tell 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: something was wrong with the wheel pulled over.

You talk about everything 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: your brother's moving and my kids moving and all this 94 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: stuff going on, but also here, particularly in Western New York. 95 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: And if you've noticed this in your two years here, 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: you know you can't. And the pandemic exacerbates everything. You 97 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: like that word. I hope I used it right. It 98 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: makes everything worse or better or more because you're coming 99 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: out of the pandemic, and it's just like coming out 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: of the winter. Usually when the plants bloom, we get 101 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: some rain and some sunshine and the place she's greens 102 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: up and gets full. And then every single weekend of 103 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: the summer, spring and fall is full of stuff that 104 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: got postponed because of the long, hard winter and the pandemic. Yes, 105 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: I feel like this summer, if you are someone who 106 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: has some friends in your life, some family in your life, 107 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: which I feel like everybody does, you are cramming two 108 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: summers into one summer. This summer. Listen, if you don't, 109 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: if you don't have something to do every weekend, you're 110 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: not trying. Yeah you can, you can have some of 111 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: my You need to get more fun. If you have 112 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: one friend, you're busy because everything is open, everything's open, 113 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: and there's like wedding after wedding after wedding, But after 114 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: doing nothing for an entire year and being locked in 115 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: our homes, it feels like even a little bit on 116 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: your plate is almost too much. We've got to like, 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: we've got to ease into filling our schedules so we 118 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: can't go from zero to two hundred, which is what 119 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we're all doing this summer. It's like 120 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: no plans into way too many plans, and we need 121 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: to go no plans, little plans, and then too many. 122 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I think some of it is that we sat at 123 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: home through all of twenty twenty, and I think maybe 124 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: for me anyway. May being an older guy, maybe you 125 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: feel like this too, doing nothing. I'm having free time 126 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: to what seems a little bit more acceptable now a 127 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: little more normal, and I enjoyed it. You almost like 128 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: to say, it was kind of nice not to have 129 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: the pressure if I got to be this, I got 130 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: to do that, I gotta have this, ready, got to 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: do that, you know what I mean, because there was 132 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: none of that last year. I mean we were like, man, 133 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I hope I have a job, you know, I hope 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I get around. This time, we didn't know if there 135 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: was going to be a football season. Yeah, we were 136 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: doing the show from my house and I was you know, 137 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: I was sitting there with my dog on my desk, 138 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: like and every five every you know, breaks going in 139 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: and out. What are you doing? Hunt, what's going on 140 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: out here? And they're like nothing, you know, it's like 141 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: nothing going on. Everybody was like that was like the 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: whole was like one of those big electronic switches. Just 143 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the lights just shut down. Everything good powers off. So 144 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: it feels more normal to us now, right. So so 145 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: now that we're like back up and running or mostly anyway, 146 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: it's like are we allowed? Are we allowed? Not? To say, no, 147 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: I have ten weddings in the next ten months. I 148 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: know what. That's too much, think about it. That's like 149 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're rangees for gift giving. There's 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: an investment, right, I haven't even thought about that yet. 151 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: It's investment job on the side of budget your wedding 152 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: gifts now, because there's so many of them, it's got 153 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: a line item in the budget wedding gifts. Sorry, I 154 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: couldn't give you more money. I've got nine other weddings. Yeah, 155 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: go for you. I'm and for us too. All the 156 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: wedding people know each other. Every wedding is like a 157 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: friend of this wedding and that wedding. You're going to 158 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: see that couple at the next wedding too, So you 159 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: cannot have to like, can't ruffle feathers. You can't give 160 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: them a big gift in these people people talk, right 161 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: you did you hear that Maddie gave a twenty dollars 162 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: gift for that wedding. That's right, But I think it's 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: more acceptable now people have learned to appreciate some downtime 164 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: that we maybe had forgotten about a little bit before 165 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: the pandemic. I wonder if I mean, we'll evolve to 166 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: our natural state. I suppose, so maybe next year we'll 167 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: be back to be in two busy at times and 168 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: not busy enough at others. Or but it just feels like, 169 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, your time is so valuable you really want 170 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: to waste it wisely. You know that's a point. You know, 171 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: if you're gonna waste it, you want to do it wisely. 172 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: You can't just like, oh, just keep the you know, 173 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: bending because like fifty percent of you is like, no, 174 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: I just want to hang out at home this weekend, 175 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: not do too much, maybe get out on the course, 176 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: And then fifty percent of you is like, oh no, 177 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: I gotta do everything about man, I've got to do 178 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: it all. I missed out on so much last time. 179 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's personality one way or the other, 180 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: but man, I think there's people in both those camps 181 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: that think, you know now that I'm I'm I get 182 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: it too. I mean, you know, you work long and 183 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: hard to car craft your life the way you want it, 184 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, so it's it's okay if you're trapped in 185 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: it because you just the way you built it, right. 186 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it takes long time, you work hard at 187 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: it and you do it, and certainly it was an 188 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: inconvenience and you know, some some uncertainty about the future. 189 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: But we were okay through the pandemic for the most part. 190 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: I think the thing we missed was being able to 191 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: just go and do what we wanted. It wasn't so 192 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: much that we missed people, because we still interacted with 193 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: some people and stuff, but particularly here at work and 194 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: all that. But man, oh man, you want to have 195 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: the option to, like I want to go to dinner, 196 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, I want to go to a movie, or 197 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I want to go whatever, to a concert. Not only 198 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: did you not have the you couldn't do it. There 199 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: was no place to do it. No, unless you're trying 200 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: to recreate something in your backyard over summer, right, and 201 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: then then you become a roadie. For a roadie for 202 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: a concert, it's like not worth it. It's not worth 203 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: the effort you do, put all that effort in. It's 204 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: like six people can show up. Speaking of concerts, the 205 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: same six people you've been quarantined with, Billy Joel. You 206 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: mentioned that yesterday, that was announced this morning. What's that 207 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: is it coming back? When it what's the date August. 208 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to pull it up on my Twitter because 209 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: I saw it as I was driving in this morning, 210 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: August fourteen, at high Marks Stadium. Tickets are going to 211 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: go on sale Friday at ten am.

At Bill's Stadium is a Twitter accounts a link. 214 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: Didn't I purchase those two years ago? That's what I 215 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: was wondering. I feel like these have already been purchased, 216 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: but maybe they did not sell out sell out because 217 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: because the season Billy Joel, I got the best seats 218 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: I could possibly get at the time I bought them. 219 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: I bet they were small fortune. Yeah, that was a 220 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: line item in my budget. I can't afford my wife's favorite, right, 221 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: So I was gonna be the you know, the guy. 222 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: I was gonna take my wife to a favorite concert 223 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: and be there with her like down we're you know close, 224 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, down on the floor, right up, you know 225 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: all that, all of that stuff is gonna be great. 226 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: I can't go now, she got to take somebody else. 227 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: I'm out of town. I'm gone. Oh no. It went 228 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: from being the perfect date gesture to a nice gesture 229 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: she can have a you know, girls nine out, Well, 230 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: we'll talk about some football now, all right, let's change. 231 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: I gotta say one thing I'm excited for talking about 232 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: this summer and things that are going on is last 233 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: summer we had when the players went to Florida. I 234 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: believe in it. When it was May. They all met 235 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: up and practiced in Florida around Miami for a couple 236 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: of days and did some team bonding. And that's gonna 237 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: happen again this summer. I don't know where it's going 238 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: to be, but several players when they were here for 239 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: Mini camp were asked about, you know, are you guys 240 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: gonna meet back up during the few weeks that you 241 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: get before training camp and train together? And they all said, yeah, 242 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: we're just trying to figure out where this is going 243 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: to happen. Is it going to be in Florida? Is 244 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: it going to be in California. I know a couple 245 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: guys are probably out in California and Florida now because 246 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: that's just where they train originally. But I'm really excited 247 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: to see when that date is and who's all going 248 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: to get together because the pictures that came out from 249 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: that May gathering even when the world was kind of 250 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: still closed down. That was I thought that was super 251 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: fun to see all of them get together, and I'm 252 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: looking forward to that again. And I love that our 253 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: players want to plan something like that and have a 254 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: couple of days to train together outside of OTA's and 255 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: mini camp and training camp. So that's another thing that 256 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: I won't be involved in, but I'm looking forward to 257 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: hearing about and seeing the pictures from the wonder is 258 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: happening again? Doesn't it sound like a blast? Yeah? So fun? 259 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: I wan, Yeah, we're getting together where Yeah, I'm in 260 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: let's go, and you know, it must have been so fun. 261 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: They're doing it again, right, So that's that's kind of cool. 262 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: Now it'll become a thing and they'll be down there. 263 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: And it's interesting too because they got almost the same 264 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: cast of guys there. It was when it was those 265 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: pictures you've seen Steph Diggs. It's the first time he 266 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: and Josh got together physically. Yeah, they played those video 267 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: games and stuff and they said hey, and they started 268 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: to get to know each other and play games together 269 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: like remotely, and then they got together in Florida for 270 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: the first time met in person. That was so that's 271 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: kind of cool, the beginning of a cool friendship between 272 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: those two players. And I remember one other thing that 273 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: came out from that was when they came back for 274 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: training camp and we're being doing interviews over zoom and 275 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: people are asking them about that time that they were together. 276 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: I think it was Josh or one of the players said, 277 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, Davi's webb organized a lot of that, And 278 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: then the story of David's webb kind of came out 279 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: with everything that he does for the team. We had 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: him on Bill's pod Squad about a month ago. I 281 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: want to say and to hear how he helps the 282 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: entire team prepare for a game. We went through and 283 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: Matt Perino did this awesome story and I kind of 284 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: went off of that story to ask some of the 285 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: questions to Davis. But his week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 286 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: he meets with players after practices to go over film 287 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: with them. He'll do cut ups of certain position groups 288 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: to show players, Okay, this is what you can expect 289 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: with who you're playing, or this is how you looked 290 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: in this game. He will work with Josh on Saturday 291 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: once they have their playsheet of some things they're going 292 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: to run and go through. These are my favorites. This 293 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: is what I do like. This is what I don't like. 294 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: He is basically a player coach. Yeah, he's laying a 295 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: lot of really valuable groundwork, not only for not only 296 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: that is the word gets out that he's going to 297 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: want to do this coaching thing when he's finished playing, 298 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: but also that he's getting himself ready for it. I've 299 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: seen it, We've we've all heard about it. You know, 300 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: guys will be a really good player and they'll want 301 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: to be if people used to ask me like, are 302 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: you going to get into coaching that kind of you know, 303 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: they always ask athlete, former athletes, whould you ever coach? 304 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: And stuff like that, And I I really never thought 305 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: about being a coach. It was never in the cards 306 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: for me for whatever reason. But I think some guys 307 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: it's they can't you know, That's all they are, That's 308 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: what they are. I know, guys like Alex van Pelt, 309 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: Frank Reich, guys like that who I've known and played with, 310 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: who have become coaches. And it's and I've said this 311 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: a million times, it's not a job for these guys. 312 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: It's not even a career. For these guys, it's a lifestyle. 313 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Once you're a coach, it's who you are and what 314 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: you do all the time. You coach your kids, you 315 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: coach your family, you coach your players, you coach your students, 316 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: you coach your friends. You just are all the time, 317 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: and it's you're just kind of a helper, kind of 318 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: slash teacher all the time, and it's who they are inside. 319 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: So Davis Webb has displayed, you know, the kind of 320 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: passion and the drive to be that guy. And I mean, 321 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: for me, if I'm Sean McDermott, Davis Webb is playing 322 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: for me until he's forty nine years old. I mean 323 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: the guys, I'm never cutting him because he's an extra 324 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: coach on your staff. And that's the interesting thing when 325 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: you talk about this roster and how tough of a 326 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: roster it's gonna be to make. We have four quarterbacks 327 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: on a rock. Who keeps four quarterbacks? Right? They're gonna 328 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: have to hide and find a way if they can. 329 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: We'll see now. Last year it was crucial because of 330 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Covid and Jake from was a quarterback, but he was 331 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: a quarter like if you and I are talking in 332 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: this room, this DUDEO. Yeah, he's over there and he's 333 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: listening and talking and he's like, what a difference. It's 334 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: a joke experience. It's a joke almost. It's it's hilarious, 335 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: like here's all the way and the cool kids are 336 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: sitting there watching being coached, and Jake From is like 337 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: thirty feet away. He would go out, Yeah, he would 338 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: go out and practice after practice, yes, yes, with a 339 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: couple people who are allowed to be around him. Yeah. 340 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: And he was kind of m i a all season, 341 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: not by his own choosing, but protocols, because of protocols 342 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: and because of COVID nineteen and so that's how you 343 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: could have That's how you did it last year, right, 344 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: And I think Davis Webb and From seems to display 345 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: this time. One of the reasons From was a draft 346 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: pick in the NFL wasn't because of his physical traits. 347 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: It was because of his head. You know, the guy's 348 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: student of the game. He's got that mentality. Maybe Jake 349 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: From has got it in his future to be a 350 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: coach as well. It's gonna have a hard time getting 351 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: on the field here in Buffalo with two guys that 352 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: are drafting the top ten of the NFL on a 353 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: roster too in Mitchell Trisky. But it's interesting too because players, 354 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: and that's what makes a great team. And that's yeah, 355 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: that's what makes a great team because great players. The 356 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: greatest players are the ones who are obviously physically gifted, 357 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: no question, but they're also the players who work the hardest. 358 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: When you're great players are the hardest workers, the bar 359 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: is the floor of your team is really raised way 360 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: up because if the best players are working hard the 361 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: worst players, you've got to be a moron not to 362 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: be able to look around and saying, well that guy's 363 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: doing that, I'm not really as good as he is, 364 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: and if he's working that hard, I gotta pick it up. 365 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: So the So you got everybody on the roster whose example, 366 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: are these great legendary players that they're playing with raised 367 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: the floor like the Josh Allen's, the Steph Diggs. You know, 368 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: all these great players are working so hard to get 369 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: better all the rest of the guys who are just guys, 370 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: you know in the vernacular, there's another guy. Their level 371 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: is raised. And that's what great players do, not just 372 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: talented players. Great players elevate their entire surrounding cast by 373 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: the way they work and by the way their teammates. 374 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: Like Davis Webb is gifted. This guy's a mentor for 375 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: his teammates. He's like, hey, do this, you know, And 376 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: that's a role that elevates people. And the more guys 377 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 1: you have on your team that elevate the guys around you, 378 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: you turn into a team that goes from a seventeen 379 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: year playoff droute to playoffs three out of four years. 380 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: Guys like Davis Webb are valuable like that, and that's 381 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: why if I'm good that guys, he's gonna be staying. 382 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, the other teams you've seen it on around history. 383 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: You just may be before your time. Back in the 384 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, guys like Al Davis of the Raiders, 385 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: they always had their third quarterback, was always one of 386 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: the oldest quarterbacks in the NFL. Guys like you know, 387 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: Vince Evans. You know guys the old guys who had 388 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: been past their prime. Mark Wilson's of the world, still 389 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: hanging around, but with like three days notice, they'll be 390 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: ready to play because they can call the plays. They've 391 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: seen everything there is under the sun. You can't fool them. 392 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: You know, they've seen it all and on three days 393 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: notice when you're it's a catastrophic situation like COVID before COVID, 394 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: Like you got two quarterbacks hurt in the same game. 395 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: You got a guy here, he's been playing for sixteen years. 396 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: He goes, I got it, I got it, we gotta 397 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: and they'll give you a chance. And Davis Webb is 398 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: kind of like that here. He knows everything. He knows 399 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: everything more than just the quarterback position, right, He will protection, 400 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: will play Scout Team dB, all of that. He knows 401 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: it all. I think that kind of culture and those 402 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of guys, and it's not like other teams don't 403 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: know those guys are out there. But you get a 404 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: guy like like a John Gruden in Vegas. Now things 405 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: have changed in Vegas, but John Gruden in Vegas, they 406 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: churned their roster at a higher degree than other teams 407 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: because they're always looking to get a better athlete or 408 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: a bigger, a stronger, faster guy, guy who looks better 409 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: on the field and try and coach him up because 410 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: they don't, you know, they think it's all that physical 411 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: ability is the thing that sets them apart. So and 412 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: they put her on themselves as coaches to bring that 413 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: out of those guys. And if it's not in there 414 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: to begin with, I mean the guy would never be 415 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: available anyway. I mean that's a different philosophy. Yeah, I 416 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: think the staff does a really good job of looking 417 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: beyond just the physical attributes of a player to really 418 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: pick apart and think about and see and study what 419 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: is your mind? What can you offer? What is your 420 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: skill set? What is your window that you could you know, 421 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: pop off in or fall to the ground, or what 422 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: is your what is your ceiling? How far can you 423 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: make it? Besides just the fact that, all right, this 424 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: guy looks like a beast, he weighs this much, he's 425 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: this tall, he ran the forty and this much time, 426 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: it's much more than that with this coast, and it's 427 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: it's a lot of personalities involved as well, and it's 428 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: all those things that create an environment where guys can thrive. 429 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: And we've seen so many players here in Buffalo thrive, 430 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: and even if it's just for a short time. I've 431 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: brought up this guy probably twenty times in the offseason. 432 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: It's Quentin Spain. He was kind of a journeyman offensive 433 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: lineman who came to Buffalo and thrived here for a minute. 434 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: He had a season in two eighteen or up, a 435 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: sack the entire season, signed a deal, liked it here, 436 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: knew that he thrived here, but came back the next 437 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: year after he signed the extension and thought I've got 438 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: it made and let took his foot off the gas, 439 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: and subsequently he's not here. It wasn't here week by 440 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: week eight. So you get these guys that come in 441 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: and it from They really do thrive here. But it's 442 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: also an environment that is always moving forward and you've 443 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 1: got to be jump on board with that. And it's 444 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: an environment that is not for everyone. Yeah, this is 445 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: not an environment for egos and for divas. I mean 446 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: people labeled Steph Diggs as that before I think people 447 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: truly knew him if they do now, you know a 448 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: lot of people really don't know Steff Diggs. We know 449 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: him from the Steff Diggs that we get to see 450 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: in games and over zoom when he's doing interviews, and 451 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: from his interactions you know, on the sidelines or during practices. 452 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: But I probably truly don't know who Stefan Diggs based 453 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: on the person. But I know that when he was 454 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: leaving the Vikings. There was a lot of hearsay about 455 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: who this guy is and if he's a good fit 456 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: for the locker room with the Buffalo Bills because of 457 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: the way it went down with him leaving the Vikings 458 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: and that tweet that he put out of wanting out 459 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: and wanting to go somewhere else, which led to him 460 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: going to Buffalo. From what Bill's GM Brandon Beans said, 461 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: is the tweet that went out about him being ready 462 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: for a new beginning was kind of what started those 463 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: conversations into Okay, actually, we're now ready for this to happen. 464 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: We weren't earlier when you came asking about Stefon Diggs, 465 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: but at this point, if you give us the right 466 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: draft picks, then we're willing to make this happen. Yeah, 467 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: and he seems like he fits in so great to 468 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: this locker, such a great team player based on what 469 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: we know him and Josh Allen. You look at them 470 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: during practice, they look like two twelve year old boys 471 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: having the time of their life together. This is a 472 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: guy that wants to make it to the super Bowl. 473 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: This is a guy that wants his team to succeed. Yes, 474 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: he led the league in receptions and receiving yards. But 475 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't that's I don't think that's because Stefan Digg 476 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: said throw me the ball every single time I'm open. 477 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: It was more of a connection that these two had, 478 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: and it was Josh Allen progressing to a point where 479 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: we haven't seen a lot of quarterbacks jump from year 480 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: two to year three, pairing that with the perfect receiver 481 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: for him for that time, and that's what you saw happen. 482 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, going back to the point of this team 483 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: is not for everybody. This locker room is not for everybody. 484 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: You have to be a selfless player to be on 485 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: this roster because the best players are going to play, 486 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: and they're not going to be afraid to spread the 487 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: ball out to those best players, or they're not going 488 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: to be afraid to go to that best player all 489 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: game because he's the guy that's open. Yeah, there's a 490 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: lot of it. Was really surprised, and certainly the success 491 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: they're having helps guys jump on board with it, because 492 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: it's hard to complain when your team's winning if you're not. 493 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: The problem is guys, and I think one of the 494 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: things that Steph Diggs had going for him coming out 495 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: of Minnesota. A lot of the stuff being said about 496 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: him before he came to Buffalo was that he was 497 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: kind of a diva, and it was a lot of 498 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: it based on a week in the first month of 499 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when he threw a fit on the sidelines 500 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: and they thought, oh my gosh, he's a diva and 501 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: he's throwing a fit on the sidelines and he's out 502 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: of control and all, and people made assumptions on that. Basically, 503 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: what it was the guy wanted to help and he 504 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: wasn't getting getting an opportunity to. You know, they weren't 505 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: throwing him the ball. They weren't giving him a chance 506 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: to help his team win, and the team wasn't winning. 507 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: Now that team's winning, we've seen it. Steph Diggs doesn't 508 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: care who's catching the touchdowns. He said it, and he 509 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: displayed that as much last year he had he'd be 510 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: standing there open for a touchdown, they throw it to 511 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: somebody else he could. He couldn't have been happier. He 512 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: absolutely was as unselfish as he needed to be and 513 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: could have been in a year like they had last year. Certainly, 514 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: since he got here, there hasn't been too much to 515 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: be unhappy about So I get that. So people can say, well, yeah, 516 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: as long as things are going well, all right, it'll 517 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: be interesting to see because this year, I mean, it's 518 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: hard to win go through an NFL season, only lose 519 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: three games, four games overall, and go fifteen and four. Yeah, 520 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: this is lightning in a bottle type of situation. In scenario, 521 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: what happens if the lightning is not in the bottle 522 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: anymore and you're having trouble and you're struggling, then then 523 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, if they can battle through it. Now, 524 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: they're talented enough so it shouldn't come to that. But 525 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: it's good. It's a tough league to win in and 526 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: it's a tough league. It's a tough league to stack 527 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: really good years on top of each other. So maybe 528 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: we'll get a chance to see this team fight through 529 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: some adversity this year. We're just looking at the schedule 530 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: though earlier before we went on this is this is 531 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: an easier schedule than last year for this team. There 532 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: are some patches where it's gonna get tough. They are 533 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: playing some great opponents right. Teams that we're playing against 534 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: did get better in the off season, and it might 535 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: be a little bit harder of a contest from last 536 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: season to this season, depending on what team you're talking about, 537 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: you get up to week but this schedule is still 538 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: easier than last year's schedule. Yeah, you get up into 539 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: weeks five and six with the Chiefs and the Titans. 540 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: Just they were reversed last year. Last year it was 541 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: Titans Week five, Chiefs week six. Now it's reversed. Now 542 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: it's Chiefs five. You've got a tough game, a tough game, 543 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: then you get a break, then you get a break, 544 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and then but then you get through, and you go 545 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: through a place in week eleven, twelve, and thirteen, you 546 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: go Indianapolis, New Orleans, New England, and then Tampa Bay. 547 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: That's a tough stretch. The Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, 548 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's a tough stretch 549 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: I think for the for the for the Bills, and 550 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: it'll be a stretch to close out the season that's 551 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. You're you're getting into, right, 552 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: So eleven or weeks Yeah, weeks eleven through fourteen I 553 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: think are really the telling, telling spot. Then you get 554 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: all the way into you forget it's Week eighteen is 555 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: new last game of the season. This year, I feel 556 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: like last year, I'm looking at last year's schedule, I 557 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: think they had their two stretches were a little bit longer. 558 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: So Week three they were playing against the Rams at home. 559 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Then they played against the Raiders away, Titans away Chiefs 560 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: at home. So that was their first tough stretch and 561 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: it started in Week three, right for a young team, 562 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: and it lasted four weeks. And then in week twelve 563 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: they played the Charters, than the forty nine Ers, then 564 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,719 Speaker 1: the Steelers, which was a tough three games stretch. They 565 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: did play the Broncos and then the Patriots, which the 566 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Broncos last season was like, you know, how is this 567 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 1: gonna go? As Drew Locke going to be hot up 568 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: and down type of year, And they ended up beating 569 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: the Broncos forty eight to nineteen, and then beating the 570 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: Patriots thirty eight to nine in that Week sixteen game, 571 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: and then stomping on the Dolphins to end out the 572 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: season against the number one defense, but we scored fifty 573 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: six on them. We see, we went through this schedule 574 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: this year and it's a range if you give because 575 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: you never know. You can get swept by the Patriots, 576 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: or like last year, you can sweep the Patriots, or 577 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: you can split with the Patriots. And if if worst 578 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: case scenario, you know, because of those division games are 579 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: mean a lot. You know, I'm I'm looking at it 580 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: and now just casually going down there, you think I'm 581 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: thinking eleven and six minimum minimum minimum, and if you go, 582 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: if you go most positive, it's like a fifteen and 583 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: two year when we did the Bills Pod Squad episode 584 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: right after the schedules came out and Brownie me an, 585 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: air would we're on it. At the end, we predicted 586 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: what we thought our record would be and the loser 587 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: has to buy dinner. But the lowest was thirteen wins, 588 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: and I think I said thirteen. I don't know. Maybe 589 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: Eric said fourteen and Brownie said fifteen. But it was 590 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: in the thirteen to fifteen window that I mean, I 591 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: get it. I mean you and I could happen. Yeah, 592 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean you and I sit here and we guzzled 593 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: a Koolaid all day old. You know we're all about 594 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: we live in the koolaid drunk on koolaid. Right now, 595 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: for the buildings, you can't get away from him here. 596 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: But the expectations are that high because of what we 597 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: saw last year. This is going to be a team 598 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: that's better than it was last year. Certainly other teams 599 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: can make the same claim that they got better as 600 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: well than the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins and 601 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. All of them could be better, 602 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: but the Bill swept those jokers last year. None of 603 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: them could win a game off them. And so even 604 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: if you go down to and give two games away, 605 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: split with one of those two teams, or even go 606 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: three and three in the division. The rest of the schedule, 607 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you got the Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars 608 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: on the schedule, of the Washington football team on the schedule. 609 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: You know, you've got the Jets twice, and they're as 610 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: good as they might have gotten. They're not as a 611 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: couple of years. There's a couple of years away. The 612 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints without Drew Brees is a different football team. 613 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: You know, the Carolina Panthers are still a brand new 614 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: quarterback with Sam Darnel. The Patriots are still a question mark. 615 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: And even though you know it's it's not a schedule, 616 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: like we saw the Bills plow through last year. They 617 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: were a hail murray away from a fourteen win season. 618 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: They were unbelievable year. And this year, I think Josh 619 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: is in the position as a quarterback to take another 620 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: step forward. Emmanuel Sanders is going to really help. Dawson 621 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: Knox is going to take a step forward. At the 622 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: offensive line is gonna play better. They're gonna play better, 623 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: and so will the deep offensive linemen on your roster 624 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: right now, and a lot of competition is gonna be 625 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: a lot of them are upgrades this training camp, you 626 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: can I don't think, and I've said this before, I 627 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: don't think the five offensive linemen that we've envisioned it 628 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,239 Speaker 1: being last year, that is with Morris, with Feliciano at 629 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: right guard, Cody Ford at left guard, Darryl Williams and 630 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: Dion d I don't think it's going to be those five. Wow, 631 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't know how it's gonna work out. 632 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I think that team is gonna is gonna 633 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: move along, and there's gonna be so much competition, somebody 634 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: up there is gonna lose their job. I really believe 635 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: that somebody up there is gonna lose their job because 636 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna outperform them and they're gonna get a chance 637 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: to show it. They have some great offensive linemen that 638 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: they picked up their free agency. These draft picks two 639 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: could could be a big help, whether it's this year 640 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: or years to come. But yeah, you look at the 641 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: natural progression of this team and you think, how could 642 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: you not get better this season? Josh's one year older. 643 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,239 Speaker 1: You know, the Stephan Diggs Josh Allen connection is just 644 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: going to get better, just like it did with Josh 645 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley after their first season. Yeah, the sphere 646 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: of player development's going to continue to shine. I'm Devin Singletary. 647 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that guy take the field. 648 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: He has changed himself and the mindset that he has. 649 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: We just had him on the podcast last week a Japanessa, 650 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: same thing. He's a different guy. The maturity level of 651 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: this player, Dawson Knox going into their third year, which 652 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: is kind of this blossom blooming year for Darlow, is 653 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: going to be back. See, we could go on and on, 654 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: but it's time for a break. It's time for a 655 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we will let you 656 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: know about the Twitter poll and question that that is 657 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: out today. Dip into the tweet sheet a little bit. 658 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: A lot more to come here on One Bills Live 659 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. We are 660 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: back here on one Bills Live, just kind of talking 661 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 1: about this roster, what we think is going to happen 662 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: this year, looking at the sk edual, thinking some good 663 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: things for this twenty twenty one season with the players 664 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: that are on the roster and the schedule that the 665 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: Bills do have, but kind of looking into the future. 666 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: Something that is on the horizon that we all know 667 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: about is this Josh Allen contract extension. When is it 668 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: going to happen, What is it going to look like. 669 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler from ESPN came out on Sunday and said that, 670 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, Josh maybe down to take a little bit 671 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: of a hometown discount so that the Buffalo Bills stay 672 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: competitive for the years to come. And while he's on 673 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: the Bills, obviously he wants to be in Buffalo for 674 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: the long term and he wants Buffalo to be good 675 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: for the long term. So we're going to have him 676 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: on at two o'clock today to talk about those comments, 677 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: what he did hear from Josh and what he heard 678 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: about the possible contract negotiations that are currently ongoing. But 679 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today has to do with that. We 680 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: want to know whose contract is Josh Allen's more likely 681 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: to resemble. Is it going to be a Dak Prescott 682 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: type contract that's four years, going to get paid good 683 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: money in those four years, or it's four years one 684 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: sixty or is it going to be more of a 685 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes type deal that is ten years long, four 686 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars that is team friendly in 687 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't get paid big time until 688 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven is when that first big yearly salary 689 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: hits of ten million, and it goes up to twenty 690 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: million in twenty twenty nine, and then by twenty thirty 691 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: one is making big time money. So we want to 692 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: know from you whose contract do you think it's going 693 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: to resemble more Dak Prescott or Patrick Mahomes. The Twitter 694 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: poll is showing right now sixty nine point six percent 695 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: of people who have replied to this think it's going 696 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: to be a Patrick Mahomes type deal. Thirty point four 697 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: percent of people think it's going to be a Dak 698 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: Prescott type deal, which is four years long. We put 699 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: this in there because we figured that Pat Mahomes deal 700 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: would be out like one end of some sort of 701 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: financial spectrum or what contracts like ten years is unprecedented. 702 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: Like the length and the money five hundred million dollars. 703 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: So the length and the money would be one end 704 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: of a spectrum, and the Dak Prescott deal would be 705 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: like a baseline. Because we are in Buffalo, I'll just 706 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: say it. Josh is better than Dak. So he's right. 707 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: So we're thinking that's the other end of the spectrum. 708 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: You gotta at least get what Dak's gonna do. Yes, 709 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: four year, one hundred and sixty million dollars deal, one 710 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four million dollars deal. And so those 711 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: are the two ends of the spectrum. Which ones are 712 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: going to be nearer, the Mahomes contract or the Dak 713 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: Prescott contract. Now let me just say this as a 714 00:37:54,239 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: former player, it comes down to this as well. If 715 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: Josh's representation, his agents, and Josh himself, you gotta look 716 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: around and say the best thing for a player is 717 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: to come up again for another contract. Yes, So a 718 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: guy like Josh would say, listen, give me the forty 719 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: million for four years started like this year, and let 720 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: me have another swing at it in four more years, 721 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: because then Pat Mahomes deal is gonna look like look cheap, 722 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: because now then I can make fifty five million dollars 723 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: a year when the cap is two hundred and sixty 724 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: million bucks a year. That kind of I'm exaggerating all 725 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: these numbers just to make a point. But you know 726 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, the cat's gonna jump, and Josh in 727 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: four years he may be coming off an two MVPs 728 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: and a Super Bowl championship for saying more money at 729 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, So then the contract you just signed 730 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: it is, you know, a bargain for the bills at 731 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: that point, so for the player, And it depends on 732 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: who you think is gonna have more say in these negotiations. 733 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: Is Josh gonna say no, I want to keep it 734 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: to four years, or is Josh gonna say, okay, I'll 735 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: take the ten year deal. But you gotta you know, 736 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: there's got to be like nine figures guaranteed in this thing, right, 737 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: give me like one hundred and twenty five million dollars 738 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and thirty million bucks guaranteed, right, 739 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So that's what we're talking about. 740 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: So who do you think is gonna win that negotiation 741 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: of how long this contract is going to be. Is 742 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: it gonna be closer to Dak's Cot you know contract 743 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: we're a little less money, but it's shorter or Mahomes 744 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: where it's going to be a long one for big money, 745 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: which may be a little less work, you know, little valuable, 746 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: less valuable at the end of that contract, you know 747 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's interesting and that's what we're 748 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: asking you. So that's where we came up with the 749 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Pat Mahomes contract. Yeah, and we've got 750 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: some early tweets and responses to this question. So we're 751 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: gonna go to the tweet sheet brought to you by 752 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the 753 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and we'll start first with our friend Tiffany Daniels. 754 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: She says, if I'm correct, Mahome contract takes care of 755 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 1: him and gives the chiefs salary cap flexibility. In my opinion, 756 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: Josh is such a team player he would sign a 757 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: similar deal, and it would give the Bills the ability 758 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: to continue to put top talent around Josh in the 759 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: quest for a championship. That's true, and we've said, we 760 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: heard for years, in decades, we were the victims of 761 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady doing exactly that. In New England. He took 762 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: below market value. Was he made good money, not the 763 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: best money. Even in his MVP years. He was just 764 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: another guy. I think he never made more than twenty 765 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: five million bucks for the Patriots, even at a time 766 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: when guys were making at least that. He never and 767 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: a lot of times he was well below that even 768 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: you know, I mean Joe Flacco in two thousand and twelve, 769 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: I believe when the Super Bowl, when the Ravens won 770 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the forty nine ers with the 771 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: Harbaugh brothers as head coaches, Flacco got a contract right 772 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: after that paid him about twenty five million dollars a year, 773 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: and that was the big money back then. Tom Brady 774 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: never made that even at that point. So we've seen 775 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: that work for players and see guys do it. But 776 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: at the end, now Tom Brady is in Tampa winning 777 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: super Bowls, winning super Bowls, and he is making that 778 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of money. Yep. And he is making even more 779 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: money on the side too with deals well, oh yeah, sponsorships, 780 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: THETC the side deals are lucrative. They're not quarterback money, 781 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: but they're lucrative. And you know, for the money they 782 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: make on their side deals, a lot of these guys 783 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: can just they can take that direct deposit, direct deposit 784 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: the game check into the bank and tell them to 785 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: run with it and just you know, live their life. 786 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: Swiceays nice says, four years a bunch of guaranteed money 787 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: while continuing to draft and develop around him. I think 788 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: the front office wants to do right by him, and 789 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 1: Josh won't be too greedy. He knows what it takes 790 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: to maintain a quality roster while making money. Four years though, 791 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: seems like it would be more Josh's favor than the 792 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: big team's favor. Yeah, that's a that's a Josh contract, 793 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: not a team contract. And if this report by Jeremy 794 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: Fowler is right in that he is willing to take 795 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: sometime some type of a hometown discount in order to 796 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: make sure that the Buffalo Bills are going to be 797 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: good for the next several years while he's a part 798 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: of this team, does that mean it's going to be 799 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: a longer contract that is written in as team friendly, 800 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: or is it going to be shorter and he's not 801 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: going to take as much money you can't get if 802 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: it's a short term contract, you're stuck. You're not giving 803 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: him a discount unless it's a one year for a 804 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: low number and that Yeah, that's not going to happen exactly. 805 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: Even if and here's the thing too, he could help 806 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: the bills out by just saying, Okay, I'm going to 807 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: play out my rookie deal. My fifth year option is 808 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: going to be twenty three million. It's guaranteed already. I 809 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: know I got that money. So after that, we're going 810 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: to hit the escalator clause and that's what my contract 811 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: is going to start to pay out out and you 812 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: and you can give me the same thing as Mahomes 813 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about. In twenty twenty seven, Mahomes 814 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: gets a sixty million dollar balloon payment twenty and that's 815 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: you know, that's just a chunk that he gets it. 816 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: So I think it's guaranteed. So even if Pat Mahomes 817 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: has a catastrophic injury, he's gonna get that money at 818 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 1: some point. Yeah, so that's what you're kind of talking 819 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 1: about with Josh Allen. You're gambling that a guy like 820 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: Josh is going to be just as effective six or 821 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: seven years down the road, and you're gonna be able 822 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: to pro rate all that money and you're gonna get 823 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: good played from him from this point going forward. Between 824 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: those two points twenty twenty seven, that's five years. That's 825 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: six years from this year. That is a long time 826 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 1: in football life. It's two careers. A lot can happen, 827 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: it's two careers, and and way Pat Mahomes season into 828 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: this last year in twenty twenty, even though it was 829 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: a trip to the super Bowl, he was hobbled limping around. 830 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: Looked oken the AFC Championship game, but he was, But 831 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: in the Cleveland game he was hobbled. You know, how 832 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: long does that hold up? He's not big, he wears 833 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: a target on his back. Does he see the end 834 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: of a ten year deal. I've got my doubts now 835 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: because of the beating he took in year four and 836 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: actually year three as a starter. But that's what you're 837 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: looking at with Josh, and Josh is bigger and stronger, 838 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and last year in a three year career. 839 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: That was probably his least physically taxings. Yes year, Yes, 840 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: we've seen him take some shots as a young running quarterback, 841 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: but last year he was better at standing in the quarterback, 842 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: in the in the pocket. I don't know if you 843 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: could tell the future, you could structure the contract that way. 844 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: You don't know if Josh you're gonna be on two 845 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: good wheels in three years. You don't hope Mahomes is 846 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna be on two good wheels in three years. If 847 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes goes off the rails, that ten year deal is 848 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: an albatross. Then you're thinking, why the heck did we 849 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: do it? Yes, big time. But if Josh is gonna 850 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: take a four year deal, fine, but you can't escape 851 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: that if it's four years for like, let's say this, 852 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 1: Let's say it gets forty five million a year, four 853 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: years for one hundred and what is that one hundred 854 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 1: and eighty million bucks. One hundred and step seventy million bucks. 855 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 1: One hundred eighty million bucks four years for one hundred 856 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 1: eighty million bucks. Forty five million dollars a year, Okay, awesome, 857 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: but you're on the hook for one hundred and eighty 858 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 1: million bucks over the next four years on your salary cap. 859 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 1: That's that is not salary cap help for a quarterback 860 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: now that it's going up, but it's starting from thirty 861 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: million dollars chopped off the top of it. So it's 862 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: starting from one hundred and eighty two point five, not 863 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 1: one hundred or two hundred and twelve. So that that's 864 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. A four year deal for one hundred 865 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: and eighty million, it's a if it's a shorter deal, 866 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: you the hometown discount. I feel it does not apply. 867 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,399 Speaker 1: It doesn't apply because I'll say, a four year deal 868 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: for Josh in the current state of affairs, it is 869 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: he doesn't even have to ask for a guarantee that 870 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: is guarantee. Yeah, there's nowhere he's going in four years, 871 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: and inside of four years he's gonna be here. I mean, 872 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: it would have to he would have his head would 873 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: have to explode, he'd have really seriously, he'd have to 874 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: have addiction problems, right, and he doesn't. I mean, I'm 875 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: just saying they would really have to go completely haywire 876 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: for Josh allen O to be the quarterback in four years. 877 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: It could, We've seen it, but man oh Man so 878 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna get those four years out of 879 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,879 Speaker 1: him at least, So you're gonna pay the forty five million. 880 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna have that guy. But can you put guys 881 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: around him that make him that guy? It's yeah, that's 882 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 1: you can't tell the future. And the more you guarantee, 883 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,439 Speaker 1: the less guarantees you have. Yes, good point, good point 884 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 1: to go to break with. We will be back here 885 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo 886 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio, talking quarterback stuff. What will Josh Allen's contracts 887 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: look like?

That's our 899 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 1: Twitter question and pull for today, So make sure you 900 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 1: head to our Twitter account and respond or give us 901 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 1: a call. At eight oh three h five fifty. We're 902 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: going through the tweet sheet, which is brought to you 903 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of 904 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we are on Rusty Shackleford's response. 905 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: He says, I'd like to sign him, push the big 906 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 1: money down the road, to stretch the cap out, keep 907 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: the window for winning, keep our own window open longer. 908 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,959 Speaker 1: But I don't know of the if the Buffalo Bills 909 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: would want to give him that long of a deal 910 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: after only one huge season of production. Maybe wait till 911 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: next offseason. If you wait till next offseason's not gonna 912 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: be gonna be even more money comes in this offseason 913 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 1: has and takes a step forward down. Then they're kicking 914 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: themselves in the foot staying why don't we do it? 915 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: One of the things that happened out over the night. 916 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus is one of the premiere analytics websites 917 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: that a lot of people go to and swear by. There, 918 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: they try to be very dispassionate in their evaluations of 919 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: players and people. Of course fans take it take it personal. 920 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: But their evaluation of Josh Allen, they think because of 921 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: his huge step last year, and they don't deny it. 922 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: They say it's almost unprecedented. But there have been other 923 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 1: players who have taken step forwards like Josh did and 924 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: had a great year or a career year, and I 925 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: put you know, career year like in finger quotes. They 926 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: think it's it's inevitable given their research or their anecdotal 927 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: evidence of other quarterbacks, that Josh will take a little 928 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: bit of a step backwards this year in production because 929 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: it was such a huge step last year. They feel 930 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that came together last year, 931 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 1: even the pandemic where there's no crowd, noises and that 932 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,439 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, a lot of things that go into 933 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: the mix of what makes the quarterback successful to be 934 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,800 Speaker 1: able his ability to communicate with his receivers and stuff 935 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: every play of every game, no matter what, whether they're 936 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: on the road or at home. All of those factors 937 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: like that who were off the table all go into 938 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,720 Speaker 1: the mix, and they think that for a lot of reasons, 939 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: he'll probably a little bit regress this year back to 940 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: the norm, closer to the norm of what he was. 941 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: So if that may, that may happen. The simple fact 942 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 1: of the matter is the bills. They're counting on the 943 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: guy to get better and to have a better team 944 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 1: around him, and to have everybody else be more productive. 945 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,759 Speaker 1: If that's the case, Josh is still going to get 946 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,399 Speaker 1: a lot of credit for it. So if you wait 947 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: until next offseason to do his deal, ain't the price 948 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 1: of milk is not going down. It's gonna be way 949 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 1: more expensive. And then the Pagoulas are going to be like, 950 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: why didn't we just do not get it too? They're 951 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: gonna be more money to spend. Yes, but you know, 952 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 1: and it's not. It's more than a math problem here. 953 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 1: And this is the thing we always always forget. This 954 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: is more than a math problem. If Josh is gonna 955 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 1: take a step forward like he did last year, and 956 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what and I've said it before, I 957 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: don't know if he took a step as big as 958 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: he took last year, I don't know what even that 959 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: looks like. On the field. I've never seen a guy 960 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: play that good ever, Yeah, not even for like two 961 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: games in a row height. I mean, he's gonna be 962 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: throwing the ball. He's gonna be He went from fifty 963 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: nine percent to sixty nine percent. If he goes from 964 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: six nine to seventy and completes like eighty percent of 965 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: his passes for the season, and he'll throw for he'll 966 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,399 Speaker 1: throw for six thousand plus yards because it'll be an 967 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule, he'll throw for fifty five hundred plus 968 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,879 Speaker 1: yards on the season. He'll throw for fifty plus touchdowns. 969 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what that looks like because it hasn't happened. Now, 970 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: the question is what's what would that cost to do 971 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: his deal? Then? Too much? Yeah, it was like, yeah, 972 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: I can't. You can't even do that, man, he can't 973 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 1: put it into words. That's calculus, that's trigonometry, that's quantum, 974 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 1: that's quantum physics is what it is. Wasn't right. I mean, 975 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how you get those numbers. So certainly 976 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 1: he's not gonna take I say, certainly, I don't what 977 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 1: do I know. I don't think even if he gets better, 978 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: even if he does, you know, all of a sudden, 979 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,240 Speaker 1: complete seventy percent. He was sixty nine point two percent 980 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 1: of his if he completes seventy percent of his passes 981 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 1: this year, if he throws for more touchdowns, if the 982 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 1: offense is bet if the running game is better, if 983 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,959 Speaker 1: they if they win more games, and he does throw 984 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 1: um for five thousand yards, I mean, see he's I mean, 985 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: what are you looking at there? You know? And if 986 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: what if he does regress a little bit, but the 987 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: season the schedules, they still win thirteen games, they win 988 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: fourteen games. Josh is still is the engine that's making 989 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: that thing run. There's just no two ways about it. 990 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: There's absolutely no two ways about it. So he's not 991 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: going to get cheaper. And that's just that's just the 992 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: way it's gonna be. So the quicker you do the 993 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: deal is that that's as cheap as you will ever 994 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: get him, even coming off the huge quantum leap he 995 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: took this last year. Yeah, even after that, get it 996 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,839 Speaker 1: done earlier, the better. It's going to be fourteen. But 997 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 1: we need to get to a break. We'll be back 998 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 1: in just a couple of short minutes, So hang here 999 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,319 Speaker 1: with us.

You're betting on yourself if you take 1024 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: to take the DAK Prescott deal. If Mahomes is guaranteed 1025 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million, Dak gets one hundred and 1026 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: sixty if he sees the end of it and then 1027 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: has to sign another deal.

Call us 1036 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: and let us know. Tweet phone lines ringing off the hook. Yesterday, 1037 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:09,439 Speaker 1: oh Stadium discussing the report that came out about the 1038 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 1: potential for a new Bill's open air stadium here in 1039 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: Orchard Park, and people are calling and left and right 1040 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: to let us know what they thought about a new 1041 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 1: stadium downtown Orchard Park open air retractable roof, where are 1042 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: they going to play while the stadium is being built? 1043 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 1: Had some great conversation surrounding that. So there's a lot 1044 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 1: about this. There's a lot of a lot in there 1045 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: about these two contracts and Mahomes and the Dak Prescott deal. 1046 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: The Dak Prescott deal is pretty straightforward for your extension. 1047 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: You get all the money coming to you in that 1048 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,799 Speaker 1: four years. Some of it's guaranteed, a good chunk of it, 1049 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 1: but it's done in four years. The Mahomes contract is 1050 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: a mega contract, but it goes forever and I don't 1051 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,280 Speaker 1: know that. I don't know Pat Mahomes plays another ten years, 1052 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 1: but he gets a big chunk now it is, and 1053 00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 1: it's structured so that the team can be better or 1054 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:04,799 Speaker 1: round him while he plays. Theoretical, but he gets he 1055 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: gets a chunk of cash coming up. And he signed 1056 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 1: his before the pandemic. So there's that as well, Josh, 1057 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 1: if you think about it, how many times, in how 1058 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: many different ways we've seen quarterbacks careers get derailed. You 1059 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 1: think about even Jim's Jim Kelly, think about Jim's career. 1060 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,919 Speaker 1: He was here for eleven years. It wasn't he wasn't 1061 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 1: a sixteen year career, eleven a decade. I think he 1062 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: signed what three deals maybe, and that's a Hall of 1063 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 1: Fame career with four Super Bowls in the mix of that. 1064 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean that you couldn't hit a bigger home run 1065 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: than Jim and he started out he was a free agent, right, 1066 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 1: so he came in. They paid him big money when 1067 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: he got here, and it was he got here in 1068 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: eighty six, did go to a Super Bowl, went to 1069 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: an AFC Championship game in eighty eight, didn't get to 1070 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl till ninety and then went to four straight. 1071 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 1: You want to talk about hitting a sweet stop sweet spot, 1072 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 1: he did. But that's what you have to you know 1073 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: what I mean, that's kind of what you'd have to 1074 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: do if you're if you take that Dak Prescott deal 1075 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 1: in order to get in order to like outperform the deal, 1076 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: you'd sign with Mahomes deal. Well, I mean you would, 1077 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. You would by far get 1078 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 1: more guaranteed money, right Because I'll tell you this, I 1079 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: don't think Mahomes can reach ten years given what happened 1080 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 1: to him at the end of the last season. If 1081 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna run around like he did last year. It's 1082 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time, and we've seen Josh 1083 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 1: go the other direction. He's getting hit less and less 1084 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: and less as this thing goes on. Yeah, Josh could 1085 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: end up like big Ben Roethlisberger playing like eighteen years 1086 00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: sixteen years pretty easily. Mahomes, I don't all same thing 1087 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. I don't know the same thing with 1088 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. They're smaller guys. Josh is like six, He's big, huge. 1089 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: He can handle that like Ben Roethlisberger handled it. Philip 1090 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 1: Rivers handled it, But because he was so smart with 1091 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 1: the ball and quick release, he never really took He 1092 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,919 Speaker 1: was like a Dan Marino. It was hard to sack 1093 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: Dan too, because the ball you'd beat two steps away, 1094 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 1: he still got the ball at his waist and by 1095 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 1: the time you cover those two steps, balls you know 1096 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 1: five yards out. You just didn't take big shots. So 1097 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: they can play a long time, particularly in this day 1098 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: and age. Tom Brady's a perfect example of that. The 1099 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 1: ball comes out on time, you never get hit. Josh's 1100 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: headed towards that. I don't know, who, who, What are 1101 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 1: you doing? All right? What do you take? Mad girl? 1102 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: I take it? If I'm Josh, I take the Dak 1103 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: Prescott deal because I would want to bet on myself 1104 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 1: rather than you want to locked in yeah for ten 1105 01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 1: years escalating salary cap. Yeah, I want more money in 1106 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: my pocket. You think you'd get more money taking the 1107 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Dack deal than the Mahomes deal, Yeah, because I think 1108 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 1: then my second contract wouldn't be even bigger based on 1109 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 1: how I played, based on how the market is anyway 1110 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks at that time, and also based on how 1111 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 1: the salary cap is just going to continue to increase. 1112 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,480 Speaker 1: You can't write that type of stuff into a ten 1113 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: year contract right now. You could predict it right, but 1114 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: you don't know for certain. What does it say about 1115 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 1: all of us and everybody driving around in their car 1116 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: or sitting at wherever you're listening to us or sitting 1117 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: at work. What's it say about each of us? When 1118 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: you think, okay, at the end of it all, you 1119 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: look back and say, Pat Mahomes took that deal way 1120 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen or twenty eighteen, whenever he signed 1121 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 1: at twenty nineteen, Yeah, he signed that deal in twenty nineteen. 1122 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 1: He took that thing for is a ten year contract? 1123 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Act all the way till twenty thirty one or thirty 1124 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: two he signed that deal and he didn't. And Dak Prescott, 1125 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who was a run of them. Let's just 1126 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 1: say for the sake of argument, it was a run 1127 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 1: of the mill kind of good but not great, like 1128 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: a Tony Romo never won a can't championship was good 1129 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 1: good in the raids, all of that stuff never won 1130 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 1: a championship. Tony Romo or Dak Prescott made way more 1131 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: than Pat Mahomes did, but Mahomes had five Super Bowls? 1132 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 1: What's it say about us? Each of us individually's sitting 1133 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: at home or listening to this raiders say, I'd rather 1134 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 1: be Dak Prescott and get the money than Pat Mahomes 1135 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 1: because I maximized it financially. Forget the champion I got. 1136 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 1: I got Tony romos on the amount of championships, I 1137 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 1: got Andy Dalton's amount of championships, I got Philip Rivers 1138 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 1: amount of championships I got zero. But I made more 1139 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: money than than Pat Mahomes did, even though he got 1140 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: four World championships. What's it say about us? You listen, 1141 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not saying I'm just saying you can 1142 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 1: evaluate your own life right right, because I'm evaluating I'm 1143 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: looking sideways at myself. Because here's the thing. From this 1144 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 1: end of it, Maddie, you have to think, well, I'm 1145 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,320 Speaker 1: gonna win those. You're not going you're taking the money, 1146 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: but you're also thinking you're gonna win those at this 1147 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: end of it. Yeah, at the beginning, you think I'm 1148 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna take get and make that money and I'm gonna 1149 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:36,080 Speaker 1: win championships. But we've seen it all too many times. 1150 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: Were great quarterbacks no championships and that kind of thing. Well, 1151 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: we've got some calls coming in, so thanks for giving 1152 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,919 Speaker 1: us a call. Continue to call Sight fifty. We're gonna 1153 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. Now. We've got Bobby from 1154 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: Lancaster on with us. Bobby, thanks for calling in. What 1155 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 1: do you think about a Josh Allen contract? Would you 1156 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: do a Dack type of deal or or would it 1157 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 1: be a Patrick Mahomes type of deal. Well, it's gonna 1158 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: talk to him, Eddie and Stebel. How you join Stebel 1159 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 1: attested is that what I believe here is pretty much 1160 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 1: what you guys think most of the time. Anyway, I 1161 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 1: go somewhere in the middle. If I could get close 1162 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: to Mahomes. Obviously that's a deal because in five years, 1163 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 1: that Mahome contract is going to look ridiculous. His agent 1164 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: should be fired tomorrow for that contract, is what I believe. 1165 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: The better one is Dak Prescott because of four years 1166 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,440 Speaker 1: another ticket that can terrific for him. He's gonna make 1167 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: a ton of money. Josh, all we can get him 1168 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: to say we can tie him down for a round 1169 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: eight years, that would be terrific. Even give him fifty 1170 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: million dollars a year for eight years, give him to 1171 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: give him half of that up front guarantee two armed million. 1172 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 1: His agent would almost have to take it. And then 1173 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: you're looking at four years from now, fifty million would 1174 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,440 Speaker 1: be the going rate. So the last four years of 1175 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the contract would be a bargain. Josh says he wants 1176 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,000 Speaker 1: to help the team out to make him viable for 1177 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 1: the next five to eight years. That's what I would 1178 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: set to Josh, give him the eight, seven, eight, nine 1179 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 1: year contract. Is well, the more years, the better for 1180 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: the team, is what I believe, because believe it or not, 1181 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: five years from now, these guys are gonna be making 1182 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year. It's almost inevitable. It's just 1183 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 1: the way the market's going. One more thing I'd like 1184 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 1: to say real quick. You guys are talking about drinking 1185 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: the kool Aid earlier. Steve. I'm fifty one, so I 1186 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: remember back to the Super Bowl years, and Steve, you 1187 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,440 Speaker 1: from the tag you look back in a wow, what 1188 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 1: a magical time it was for us back then. Right now, 1189 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 1: you guys are drinking a kool Aid. Maddie you said 1190 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 1: you're bathing it or whatever. Funny. Here's the deal. Remember 1191 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,000 Speaker 1: this time now, because the next five day years, Steve, 1192 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,440 Speaker 1: when you're seventy, you know, twelve thirteen years from now, 1193 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna look back and remember at this time. Enjoy 1194 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 1: it now. The COVID year starting twenty twenty was a 1195 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 1: magical year. And for the next five day years, you're 1196 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: gonna have football that you're gonna look back on in 1197 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years to say, damn, that was a 1198 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 1: lot of fun. What a time that was even probably 1199 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 1: better than the Super Bowl run. So just keep that 1200 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 1: in mind, keep drinking the kool aid. The mob he 1201 01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,320 Speaker 1: will do the same, because that's where we're at with 1202 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: this team. Thanks Bobby. Thanks, I'll say this, I say 1203 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 1: it now people like Bobby Steven, twelve years, you're going 1204 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: to be twenty one. Let's get that right. Twelve years, 1205 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be twenty one. Yeah, I get that all 1206 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 1: the time. My people come up and say, hey, I 1207 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,680 Speaker 1: grew up watching you play. You guys were great, and 1208 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: my standard responses this, Listen, this is a it was 1209 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 1: fun while it lasted, wasn't it? And they are, yeah, 1210 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,880 Speaker 1: it was. It was a great. It's fun while at last, 1211 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,920 Speaker 1: and this is awesome while at lasts, and the trick 1212 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: is and we don't have to worry about we just 1213 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: have to enjoy it. It's up to Brandon being and 1214 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Josh and the rest of these guys 1215 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: to make it last. That's the key, and that's kind 1216 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 1: of the cruxt of this contract we're talking about with Josh. 1217 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,080 Speaker 1: How do you make Josh happy and reward him commensurate 1218 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 1: with what he's done and still leave and still make 1219 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 1: it possible to get people around him who can be 1220 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: competitive and go for a championship on a regular, if 1221 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: not yearly basis. It's been done before. We saw the 1222 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: Patriots do it. We've seen teams do the Pittsburgh Steelers 1223 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: are always competitive. The Baltimore Ravens are always competitive. The 1224 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,880 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks are competitive year in year out. The Green 1225 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Bay Packers are competitive year in year out. You know, 1226 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 1: the competed nominators. Having that quarterback. How do you get 1227 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: that quarterback and make him happy for long term while 1228 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: still having the ability to put players around him. One 1229 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 1: thing that helps, aside from the cap being huge, is 1230 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,479 Speaker 1: being able to pick guys right the first time. Don't 1231 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,360 Speaker 1: miss on your first four rounds of the draft. When 1232 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,440 Speaker 1: you look back at the Bills have got a lot 1233 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: of significant contributors that they've drafted over the last four years, 1234 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:50,160 Speaker 1: significant contributors, a lot of starters when they did it 1235 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 1: as low as as low as rookie free agents and 1236 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. You know, they got Matt Milano in the 1237 01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: fifth round, Gabriel, Gabriel. They got these guys that are 1238 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 1: really helping, you know, Dion doc Pane Jackson, Dane Jackson, 1239 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 1: they got. I mean, you go down the lid. I 1240 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: mean you got a ton of guys. Now they're sprinkled 1241 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: in some quality veteran free agents, no question about it. 1242 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 1: But when you can draft and pick players better than 1243 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 1: everybody else. You will always have money to spend on 1244 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 1: your best players. But when you start missing on guys badly, 1245 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, I gotta clean up this mess, 1246 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 1: gotta get this guy out of here. And got a 1247 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: hole in your draft. That's right, You got a hole 1248 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 1: in your roster you can't fill because the guy who 1249 01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 1: thought was gonna fill it for cheap labor turned out 1250 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 1: to be a donkey and now he's gone. Now, now, 1251 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 1: well what are we gonna Well? Who we got? We 1252 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 1: got this, you know, Charlie bag of donuts, who's been 1253 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 1: in the league for eight years and he's got three 1254 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 1: starts and he can't really play. But at least he 1255 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 1: knows what he's doing out. You know, at least he'll 1256 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: step to the right gad whatever you've got guys who 1257 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 1: can't play. Yeah, to keep the well oiled machine going, 1258 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 1: he starts with the scouting department. Key to everything is 1259 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 1: is finding the right guys and being able to pick 1260 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 1: great players in the draft without missing without you know, 1261 01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: missing that opportunity, because everybody's got an opportunity to draft 1262 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: these same guy. If you can get the right guys 1263 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,760 Speaker 1: in the draft, you will continue to have a great 1264 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 1: roster that will support great players like like Josh Tremaine, Edmunds, 1265 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Jeff Diggs, Radavious White, all of these guys. You'll have 1266 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: those guys because you'll have drafted them, and then if 1267 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: you develop them, they get better. All that stuff. Now 1268 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 1: you know that that's what it's got to be though. 1269 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 1: That's the way out of it. You know, you can 1270 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:38,639 Speaker 1: pay these best players and have your cake and eat 1271 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: it too with putting good players around him if you 1272 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: don't miss on draft picks. And they haven't missed very much. 1273 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 1: They haven't. They've done a good job since they've been 1274 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. We'll go back to the phone lines. We've 1275 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 1: got Joe from Florida. Who's on with us? Joe, what 1276 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:59,679 Speaker 1: do you think about a Josh Allen contract extension? Well, 1277 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 1: then think see for something after I'm done here. If 1278 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: I could, um, I would think for me, it's you've 1279 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 1: already seen mahomes restructure. So a lot of times it's 1280 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: this thing where you gotta set that big number and 1281 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 1: you gotta get you know, whoever's doing it this year 1282 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 1: is going to get that highest number, so they do it. 1283 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,760 Speaker 1: You've already seen mahomes have to restructure because it's just 1284 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: it just won't fit to me, it would I'd rather 1285 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 1: have something like say Tom Brady, where he was never 1286 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 1: the guy that had the highest number. He was never 1287 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,400 Speaker 1: going to be the highest paid quarterback of the league, 1288 01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: but they were. He left a little more money for 1289 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 1: his team to go get people. And you know, so 1290 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 1: that to me, we've all been in situations. Steve. I'm 1291 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 1: sure you have been two where he made the same 1292 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: amount of money one year to the next, but you 1293 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 1: had a winning season versus a non winning season. I'm 1294 01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: sure you would have loved to have the quality of 1295 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 1: life and you know, go into work and winning and 1296 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 1: being happy to leave in the place every day, the 1297 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 1: bruises and stuff to hurt less, all that kind of stuff. 1298 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: It's just a better quality of life. And one last thing, 1299 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 1: if I could Steve up, not the kid, uh my 1300 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 1: little brother with him Children's hospital.

We're back here on One Bill's 1402 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: Live talking about our Twitter poll. Twitter question for the day. 1403 01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,240 Speaker 1: We know Josha Allen contract extension is coming, we don't 1404 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: know when, we're not sure what it will look like, 1405 01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 1: but we want you to tell us what you think 1406 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 1: it'll look like. Will it be a Dak Prescott type 1407 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,400 Speaker 1: contract extension four years, good money or is it going 1408 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 1: to be a Patrick Mahomes type deal which is ten years, 1409 01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: still great money, but really over the span of ten years, 1410 01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen with a salary 1411 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 1: cap with the quarterback itself, with several things concerning a 1412 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 1: roster and trying to be good, trying to make the 1413 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, the playoffs, etc. So whose contract do you 1414 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's is more likely to accept to resemble. 1415 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:59,720 Speaker 1: We're looking right now, if you're watching on MSG Dak Prescott. 1416 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Point four percent of people who responded to the poll 1417 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a Dak Prescott type deal. 1418 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Sixty nine point six percent think it's going to be 1419 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:12,680 Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes type deal. We have Dave from Florida 1420 01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: who's joining us. We're gonna go the phone lines. Dave, 1421 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: what type of deal do you think Josh Allen's contract 1422 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 1: could resemble? I think that you're looking at how old 1423 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,839 Speaker 1: is Josh Allen right now? I want to say he's twenty, 1424 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,280 Speaker 1: he turned twenty, he just turned twenty twenty five, he 1425 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 1: just turned twenty five, twenty five? All right, then he go, 1426 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 1: You go deal and give him what he wats because 1427 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to replace his like Chack, Steve Talk, 1428 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 1: all these other players on the team offense and defense. 1429 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 1: You got to have money for them. So you think 1430 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: the four year deals away to go? Or do you 1431 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,760 Speaker 1: think a deal like Mahomes where the money's back in 1432 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 1: loaded and you can spread it out over the long term. Now, Prescott, now, 1433 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 1: why why don't you Why don't you want to go 1434 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:02,840 Speaker 1: long term? It's just because you don't know he'll be 1435 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 1: good then, or he'll get hurt then or what well, 1436 01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 1: four years will be twenty nine, right? I think he 1437 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 1: should have us in the super Bowl before that with 1438 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: the players we got now, right, and if that doesn't work, 1439 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 1: we got to pay other players that can ter play, right, 1440 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 1: and you can reconstruct his right contract in four years. 1441 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,679 Speaker 1: So in four years, So what happens in four years 1442 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 1: when he has gotten him to a super Bowl? Maybe 1443 01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: one one, Maybe he's been running, maybe he's been an MVP, 1444 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,559 Speaker 1: or maybe he was the MVP of the Super Bowl. 1445 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,800 Speaker 1: You got to after not being a league MVP, but 1446 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,280 Speaker 1: being a super Bowl MVP, something like along those lines, 1447 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 1: he's played at an elite level. Then then you got 1448 01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,599 Speaker 1: you owe him a new deal. Right, so you give 1449 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 1: him another four year deal lasted another eight years, but 1450 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,760 Speaker 1: you got to reconstruct the contract. Right, What are you 1451 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 1: talking about? Fifteen year right now? Is that what you're 1452 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,559 Speaker 1: talking about? You're talking about forty forty three to forty 1453 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:03,679 Speaker 1: seven maybe not quite all right? What you make right now, Well, 1454 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:07,919 Speaker 1: he's guaranteed in the fifth year this deal twenty three million. Okay, 1455 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 1: then you're telling him he's just not going to go 1456 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,599 Speaker 1: up for forty five or fifty million for four years. 1457 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe that what you're saying, he's not going 1458 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 1: to do that. I think he will do that. Oh yeah, 1459 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: he'll take that in a minute. See, that's the whole 1460 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 1: thing here, Joe or Dave. I'm sorry, this is the 1461 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,240 Speaker 1: whole thing here, Dave. The shorter the contract, the better 1462 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 1: it is for Josh because he'll get every cent of 1463 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: that contract, and then he'll get another raise because he'll 1464 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: get a new contract. You know what I'm saying. That's 1465 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,480 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. So if so for the team, 1466 01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 1: it's more expensive to sign him to a short term 1467 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,599 Speaker 1: deal because he's still gonna make top dollar now after 1468 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 1: the he's a runner up in the MVP for goodness sake, 1469 01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,559 Speaker 1: So he's gonna get like forty five fifty million now 1470 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,519 Speaker 1: a year, and then he's gonna get sixty million for 1471 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: four years next. So and if he sees all of that, 1472 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: you've paid him more money than you would have had 1473 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,840 Speaker 1: you get him given him an eight year deal. You 1474 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,439 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, Yes, I do. That's why Patrick 1475 01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:10,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes signed a bad deal because in four years he's 1476 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:14,920 Speaker 1: going to be a lout of luck. So yeah, be 1477 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,800 Speaker 1: that as it, mate, But the Pat Mahomes deal is 1478 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 1: better for the Chiefs, right, right, He's got to play 1479 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 1: ten years though, right, so right, But so you're saying 1480 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,639 Speaker 1: the Bills should not sign a deal like that, right, 1481 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 1: exactly right. I think they should go at four year 1482 01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,080 Speaker 1: deal and then have money in the next couple of 1483 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:40,800 Speaker 1: years for the rest of the team that we got 1484 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:45,719 Speaker 1: to fill spots that aren't producing. All right, thanks, all right, thanks. 1485 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:53,599 Speaker 1: Dave's from Florida, so I get it. Yeah, it's for 1486 01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,680 Speaker 1: the Bills. I was talking, he was. I think Dave 1487 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,599 Speaker 1: was talking about both sides of his mouth. For Josh, 1488 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 1: the best deal to sign is a short term deal 1489 01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,800 Speaker 1: for big money, right, because then he's going to get 1490 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: another swing at the can. Dave's telling me he's going 1491 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,920 Speaker 1: to sign that for big money and have less money 1492 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 1: for the team to spend on everybody else. Whatever. Dave 1493 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 1: had it backwards. He's a little bit confused. Dave was 1494 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,720 Speaker 1: a little confused. Short term makes most sense for Josh, 1495 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,560 Speaker 1: long term makes most sense for the Buffalo Bills. And 1496 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 1: he said that while acknowledging is exactly what the chief. Yeah, okay, 1497 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,679 Speaker 1: all right, I'm getting my get a headache here. Let's 1498 01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,960 Speaker 1: do one of our responses on our tweet sheet. It's 1499 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,720 Speaker 1: brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment 1500 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Let's see what Eli 1501 01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,120 Speaker 1: has got to say. He said, Dax set the market. 1502 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 1: The Mahomes contract is unique. I don't think many quarterbacks 1503 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,840 Speaker 1: will reach that type of contract. I know the cap 1504 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,759 Speaker 1: is only going up, but if the Bills do Mahomes 1505 01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:54,679 Speaker 1: type of contract, they will overpay. Josh Allen has only 1506 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,639 Speaker 1: had one great season, but he has shown growth since 1507 01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 1: day one, so he didn't really say either or Dak 1508 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 1: set the market for Yeah, yeah, Mahomes contract is unique, 1509 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 1: and it doesn't think many quarterbacks will reach that type 1510 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,080 Speaker 1: of contract. Here's the thing, a lot of quarterbacks don't 1511 01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:20,080 Speaker 1: want Pat Mahomes deal. That's what people forget. They're caught 1512 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 1: with the number with the number five hundred million. Mahomes 1513 01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: may not get all that money. He's gonna get a 1514 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,519 Speaker 1: good chunk. I think half of it's guaranteed. But think 1515 01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,599 Speaker 1: about this, Say Dak Prescott just signed a four year 1516 01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 1: on hundred and sixty million dollars one hundred sixty four 1517 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: million dollars to forty one million dollars a year. The 1518 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 1: money he gets after that maybe above fifty a year 1519 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 1: in four years. Same thing with Josh Allen. If Josh 1520 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,200 Speaker 1: signs a deal he gets forty five million a year 1521 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,919 Speaker 1: for four years. That's one hundred and eighty million dollars. 1522 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 1: So the guaranteed money that Mahomes is getting his two 1523 01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million bucks. If Josh signed a deal 1524 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 1: like the one like Dax with the commensurate rays of 1525 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 1: forty five million hundred, that's one hundred and eighty million 1526 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,120 Speaker 1: dollars he's got in his pocket, which means he's seventy 1527 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 1: shy of mahomes deal. And he's gonna get that in 1528 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,639 Speaker 1: the next contract easily. Yeah. See that's the thing. He's 1529 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 1: gonna get more than that. So and Mahomes has got 1530 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:26,960 Speaker 1: to get all the way to the end of ten 1531 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: years to do that. So and that deal doesn't kick 1532 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:36,759 Speaker 1: in till next year. So a guy like Dak Prescott 1533 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen could make more money in the ten 1534 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,840 Speaker 1: years of Mahomes' deal than Mahomes is making with that big, 1535 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: mega deal. And that's what that's why the quarterbacks want 1536 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:50,439 Speaker 1: to sign a shorter deal. And Mahomes gave the chiefs 1537 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:54,280 Speaker 1: all kinds of slack to build the team and keep 1538 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 1: stay competitive around him. That's what the big that's he 1539 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,920 Speaker 1: signed a very team friendly deal. There's no question about it. 1540 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 1: I think something in between is going to make the 1541 01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,920 Speaker 1: most sense for both parties here in Buffalo. How far 1542 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:08,599 Speaker 1: in between and what's it gonna And here's the thing. 1543 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:12,759 Speaker 1: When you get shorter than the ten then the structure 1544 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 1: becomes a problem because you can't structure it as friendly 1545 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 1: for the team. I would say six is a little 1546 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 1: too Josh Allen friendly. Still, I would say you're in 1547 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 1: the seven window. Time is a long time. He just 1548 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:33,280 Speaker 1: got off a five year deal. If you give him another, 1549 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:34,880 Speaker 1: here's the thing, what if you give him another five 1550 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: year deal but doesn't kick in until after the his 1551 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 1: That's the other part of the conversation. He'll play this year. 1552 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 1: It is, Yeah, when is the extension going to kick in? 1553 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,519 Speaker 1: What type of contract? Is going to be written. So 1554 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,640 Speaker 1: all that's all that's negotiable, So you can give he 1555 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 1: can give the team as much slack as he wants 1556 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 1: when the thing kicks in. But they got up the 1557 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: anne on what's guaranteed. Right, That mean that's the give 1558 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: and take we're talking about. That's it's really interesting because 1559 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: everything literally is on the table, and the cap can 1560 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 1: be manipulated through bonuses, base salaries, all of that stuff 1561 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: avoidable years we've seen that happen. So it's it's it is. 1562 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 1: It's I like the Twitter poll because it's one end 1563 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 1: of the spectrum. In the other it's taking the cash 1564 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 1: up front, betting on yourself, short term contract. I'm gonna 1565 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 1: play great and in three years you're gonna be You're 1566 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,120 Speaker 1: gonna you know, be backed into a corner with the 1567 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,639 Speaker 1: best quarterback in football, and you're gonna have to pay 1568 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:42,519 Speaker 1: me then again. Right. So but the club, it's easier 1569 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 1: for the club because then they can back off and say, okay, 1570 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott, he broke his leg and they still 1571 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 1: had to pay him. So I don't know how much 1572 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, if they think about if they had assigned 1573 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 1: a deal with him short term and he breaks his leg, 1574 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 1: then they're only on the hook for the three or 1575 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,439 Speaker 1: four years, right, and it's like one year of cap 1576 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 1: jail and they're done with it. But for the Mahomes deal, 1577 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 1: that twenty twenty seventh thing is like six years away 1578 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,840 Speaker 1: and they still on the hook for sixty. It's gonna 1579 01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:17,639 Speaker 1: be big. So that's you know, that's the big gray area, 1580 01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:21,599 Speaker 1: the vast gray area between these two contracts. So if 1581 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,160 Speaker 1: if it goes south and your quarterback has a Dak 1582 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: Prescott injury and it's over for him, you only you 1583 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: only stink for one year. The Mahomes thing, man, that's like, 1584 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, just like a tattoo. You can't get 1585 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,879 Speaker 1: rid of it, right, It's like a Mike Tyson tattoo 1586 01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 1: right right on your face. You had to wear that 1587 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 1: for a decade. That the whole it's going to haunt 1588 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 1: you forever. So I don't know, you really have to 1589 01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: get creative with how you structure it. But you're right, 1590 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,479 Speaker 1: the longer it is, the more freedom you've got to 1591 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,320 Speaker 1: spread the money out and take it. And I think 1592 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 1: you can move it from from one year to the 1593 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: next two. I mean they could. Thing's going to be 1594 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 1: restructured multiple times. Right, He's already done it once, but 1595 01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 1: you could you can see that because of the pandemics, 1596 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 1: like right, so everybody kind of had to restructure there. 1597 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 1: But here's the thing with the long term contract. Think 1598 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 1: about this. Any year that the Chiefs have, like all 1599 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're going to end the year with 1600 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars in cap space, and they their rosters 1601 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,799 Speaker 1: kind of set really good. They can give whatever excess 1602 01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,960 Speaker 1: cap room they have, they can restructure Mahomes, give it 1603 01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,600 Speaker 1: to him and take it off the back end of 1604 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 1: the contract. So in years six, seven, eight nine ten 1605 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 1: or seven, eight nine ten, his cap hit is negligible 1606 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 1: by that time, so they could pay him up front 1607 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 1: and you know, just take it off the cap as 1608 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 1: they have it available and chip away at the back 1609 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,200 Speaker 1: end of that contract. Then they got Mahomes in the 1610 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 1: last half of this contract, this big contract he has, 1611 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:03,640 Speaker 1: playing hopefully at a high level, but really cheap, and 1612 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:05,880 Speaker 1: then they can go make another run or two at 1613 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Several scenarios to get into. We are up 1614 01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: against a break when we come back at two o'clock, 1615 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna have senior at National NFL writer Jeremy Fowler 1616 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: on with us to talk about Josh Allen contract ascension, 1617 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,479 Speaker 1: When it will happen, what it will look like. Stick 1618 01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 1: with us here, One Bills Live presented by Clyde Helth 1619 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're back on One Bills Live 1620 01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 1: discussing Josh Allen and a contract extension. What it could 1621 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,559 Speaker 1: look like, what it could be. Is it gonna be 1622 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 1: four years, is it gonna be five, is gonna be ten? 1623 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,799 Speaker 1: Is it going to be something we've already seen, something 1624 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: we've never seen? Similar to Dak similar to Patrick Mahomes, 1625 01:27:55,560 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 1: who knows. We'll get back into the tweet sheet. We'll 1626 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,400 Speaker 1: go to Dinah and she said, well, I wish the 1627 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,760 Speaker 1: answer was some homes. I think it will be more 1628 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 1: like Prescott's, but somewhere in between. I'm guessing five or 1629 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 1: six years. I'm liking this in between thing. Yeah, I'm 1630 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 1: sure it is because and that's why we pick these 1631 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,840 Speaker 1: two contracts. They're kind of extremes long, ten year, kind 1632 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: of a lifetime deal with mega deals. And it's a 1633 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,800 Speaker 1: great number. It says five hundred million on and people 1634 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,599 Speaker 1: lost their minds and over the life the contract, it's 1635 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,920 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars a year ten years from now, and 1636 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,360 Speaker 1: well it's not even ten years twelve years from now 1637 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:38,000 Speaker 1: when the heal finally finishes, it doesn't start for another 1638 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: year or two. That may be a real bargain for 1639 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:48,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But think about this, Maddie. If Mahomes plays 1640 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,240 Speaker 1: and plays through the ten years of that deal and 1641 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 1: that contract is obsolete by that time, quarterbacks are pulling 1642 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 1: down sixty five five million a year whatever, right, and 1643 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 1: he's playing at a high level, don't the Chiefs come 1644 01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,120 Speaker 1: to him to say, hey, let's extend you and get 1645 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,880 Speaker 1: the Yeah, we'll sweeen up the deal. Right, that's true. 1646 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: So if he outplays the contract, the Chiefs are kind 1647 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:16,639 Speaker 1: of on the hook to come back and say, hey, 1648 01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 1: here's some And so they've overpaid at the beginning, and 1649 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 1: then they're gonna have to overpay at the end if 1650 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:23,960 Speaker 1: it goes to that. So it's really a sweet spot 1651 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:25,559 Speaker 1: in there of like what three or four years where 1652 01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,680 Speaker 1: he's making exactly what he should be making, and right 1653 01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,760 Speaker 1: in the middle of that is a sixty million dollar 1654 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 1: balloon payment. So not only is he making good money, 1655 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna get he's gonna hammer him with that and 1656 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 1: there's no way this contract gets played out the way 1657 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 1: it's written. And he restructured a little bit to give 1658 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,839 Speaker 1: him some cap releif this year because of of COVID. 1659 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,479 Speaker 1: But there's like a sweet spot in the middle of 1660 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,719 Speaker 1: this where he'll be making commensal with whatether the quarterbacks 1661 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 1: are making. And that's when he's got to keep playing well. 1662 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 1: And then if he keeps playing well past that and 1663 01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 1: he's and he starts to go down and get it, 1664 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:01,879 Speaker 1: you get into the last you're aid of that contract 1665 01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 1: or a deal he signed ten years before with two 1666 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 1: years left on it. People are gonna be going, Wow, 1667 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 1: you guys, you gotta redo Pat's deal. Man, that's crazy. 1668 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 1: And then you have those people saying, what are you 1669 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 1: talking about. He's old, you can't redo his deal. And 1670 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,559 Speaker 1: then it becomes acrimonious and it comes like Big Ben 1671 01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:24,960 Speaker 1: or talk at FARV in Green Bay. You know how 1672 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:29,960 Speaker 1: he left, and you know the money everything. It'll turn nasty. Yeah, 1673 01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 1: it was a quick segment for us, but don't go 1674 01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,240 Speaker 1: anywhere because when we come back, we're gonna have senior 1675 01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 1: national NFL writer from ESPN, Jeremy Fowler, on with us. 1676 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 1: He's thinking that this deal could be a little bit 1677 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 1: team friendly, according to us hearing what he's hearing, so 1678 01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:45,599 Speaker 1: we'll have him on next here on one Bill's Live, 1679 01:30:45,640 --> 01:31:01,080 Speaker 1: presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bill's radiocom all At 1680 01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:04,679 Speaker 1: a stove tasker who has been all over the fields, 1681 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a cool role 1682 01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:12,880 Speaker 1: player for Saolutely safe a blimp. We're not even in 1683 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:20,920 Speaker 1: the credit here of normalcy. Here it is the less 1684 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 1: hour of our show here on Tuesday afternoon Maddi Glab 1685 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:29,479 Speaker 1: alongside Steve Tasker, and the conversation of today has been 1686 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen and that contract extension. Yesterday it was 1687 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:36,639 Speaker 1: about the bills and the possibility of a new stadium. 1688 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 1: Today it is about Josh Allen and a contract extension. 1689 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,760 Speaker 1: We know it's gonna happen. We know it's gonna happen, 1690 01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,240 Speaker 1: probably soon, but how soon, we're not sure. What is 1691 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: it going to look like. We're not exactly sure. But 1692 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,160 Speaker 1: we did hear something on Sunday from Jeremy Fowler who's 1693 01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 1: with ESPN, and it could be more of a team 1694 01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,479 Speaker 1: friendly type contract for Josh Allen. So he's going to 1695 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 1: join us here in just a couple of seconds. I 1696 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,840 Speaker 1: think he may be on the phone line already. So 1697 01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:09,080 Speaker 1: we've got senior national NFL writer Jeremy Fowler from ESPN 1698 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:11,160 Speaker 1: on with us. Jeremy, thanks for being a part of 1699 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,680 Speaker 1: the conversation today. And we heard on Sunday that you 1700 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:20,280 Speaker 1: reported about Josh Allen's structure and the extension and what 1701 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,240 Speaker 1: it could look like and the fact that this could 1702 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 1: be more of a team friendly structure of things because 1703 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 1: he wants the Buffalo Bills to be long and to 1704 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 1: be competitive in the future when we're talking about length 1705 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:35,280 Speaker 1: of this team being competitive. So thanks for being on 1706 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:39,880 Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate the time anytime. Mattie, thanks for 1707 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:44,559 Speaker 1: having me. And yeah, I think there are certainly a 1708 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks that could be paying here in one 1709 01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:50,000 Speaker 1: hundreds and millions of dollars pretty soon. Josh Allen will 1710 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:54,479 Speaker 1: be a top that lift. Yeah, and that's we were 1711 01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,720 Speaker 1: thinking too. We have a Twitter poll out that we 1712 01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,760 Speaker 1: use two ends of the spectrum on these on these 1713 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,719 Speaker 1: this pole, Jeremy, it was like, say, the Mahomes deal 1714 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:07,080 Speaker 1: is the top end, which is the most team friendly. 1715 01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 1: It's ten years. They can work all kinds of magic 1716 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 1: in between. There's a couple of balloon payments that they'll 1717 01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 1: have to get around. But even this year, in the 1718 01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,479 Speaker 1: first year that they restructured a little bit of the 1719 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 1: deal for the COVID pandemic and the drop of the cap. 1720 01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:22,240 Speaker 1: And then there's the Dak Prescott deal four years, one 1721 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,400 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four million. Bang, you're done. Which one 1722 01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: of those contracts do you think this Josh Allen contract 1723 01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 1: will lean towards? Well, I don't expect him to do 1724 01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,080 Speaker 1: a ten year deal. That's pretty extreme. I think that 1725 01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 1: could be an anomaly, especially when quarterbacks and players and 1726 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,680 Speaker 1: free agency are going to see the money balloon with 1727 01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:49,519 Speaker 1: gambling and seventeen game revenue and all these factors. You know. Now, 1728 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:53,439 Speaker 1: Mahomes is a different, different conversation because he was widely 1729 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:56,280 Speaker 1: heralded as the best player in the league and the 1730 01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs got his per year money really high as a 1731 01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:02,320 Speaker 1: result over over the course of that deal. Where I 1732 01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 1: think a guy like Josh I don't could probalyfall somewhere 1733 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:08,040 Speaker 1: in between. Um, you know, from from my understanding is 1734 01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, he knows that he'll get paid eventually. The bills. No, 1735 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,160 Speaker 1: they're going to pay him eventually. So there's there's no 1736 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:17,320 Speaker 1: real concern. Nobody's really worried about it. Um now that 1737 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,479 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they're down the road on a deal, 1738 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, as it was told to me, 1739 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 1: that Josh feels strongly enough about being in Buffalo that 1740 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, he just he wants to make something work 1741 01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,720 Speaker 1: that both parties are satisfied with. He's certainly not going 1742 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,320 Speaker 1: to take a discount, but I think if he can 1743 01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 1: help with the structure and in a few ways, and 1744 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:38,840 Speaker 1: they think there can be a given take to keep 1745 01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:40,439 Speaker 1: them competitive for a long time, I think that it 1746 01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,559 Speaker 1: would be his goal. Yeah, why do you think an 1747 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,240 Speaker 1: in between here makes the most sense for both Josh 1748 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,280 Speaker 1: Allen and how he could progress in his career, but 1749 01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,240 Speaker 1: also the Buffalo Bills and how they could preserve that 1750 01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:55,640 Speaker 1: roster while he's on the team. Well, you know, Prescott's 1751 01:34:55,680 --> 01:35:00,040 Speaker 1: situation was unique in the fact that Dallap like to 1752 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:01,840 Speaker 1: do longer term deals and he just wasn't going to 1753 01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 1: do it. And I think that's why it took so long, 1754 01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:04,880 Speaker 1: about a year and a half of them just going 1755 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 1: back and forth. He wanted a shorter term deal from 1756 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:09,960 Speaker 1: the beginning because he wanted to get back to it 1757 01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,200 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty three or twenty four and be a 1758 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:17,840 Speaker 1: free agent again. And you know, so I think you're 1759 01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, You've probably you've viewed all these contracts closely, 1760 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,920 Speaker 1: or at least your representation has where you see the 1761 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:25,760 Speaker 1: pros and cons of the Mahomes deal, the pros and 1762 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:29,160 Speaker 1: cons of the Deck Prescott deal, and you try to 1763 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:31,879 Speaker 1: kind of find an in between. Now we know the Bills, 1764 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 1: based on precedent, they like to be aggressive with their 1765 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:38,240 Speaker 1: players as they get closer to the season. With guys 1766 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 1: coming off, you know, first round picks coming out of 1767 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,360 Speaker 1: three years, they want to try to get that done 1768 01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,519 Speaker 1: sooner or later. You saw that with your Davious White. 1769 01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,240 Speaker 1: They made where they felt was a competitive offer and 1770 01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:50,559 Speaker 1: he took it. So I think they'll take a similar 1771 01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:54,320 Speaker 1: approach with Josh Allen. Knowing that it's especially important to 1772 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,800 Speaker 1: with a quarterback with this much money involved to try 1773 01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:00,599 Speaker 1: to stretch out the salary cap by using the fourth 1774 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 1: year of the rookie deal in the fifth year option 1775 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 1: to get two years of cushion that I think it'll 1776 01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 1: be especially important for the Buffalo team trying to really 1777 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 1: stay competitive and resign a lot of good players, not 1778 01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,840 Speaker 1: just Josh Allen. One of the things about these contract negotiations, 1779 01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:17,880 Speaker 1: We've talked about it a lot on this show that 1780 01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:20,400 Speaker 1: you can't tell the future. You don't know if something's 1781 01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:22,920 Speaker 1: going to happen to your quarterback like Dak Prescott last 1782 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:26,280 Speaker 1: year or Alex Smith two years ago, three years ago, 1783 01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,720 Speaker 1: you don't know, and betting on their future, you don't 1784 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:31,000 Speaker 1: know how beat up they're gonna be. Pat Mahomes looked 1785 01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,679 Speaker 1: a little bit rickety at the end of this last season, 1786 01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:35,280 Speaker 1: even a year when they went to the Super Bowl. 1787 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 1: Tell you know, you know, predicting the future is the 1788 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 1: real problem. You don't care, you don't mind paying the 1789 01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:42,840 Speaker 1: guy a fair price, but you want them to be 1790 01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:46,920 Speaker 1: around to earn the money. Now, given that I'm gonna 1791 01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: at the impossibility of predicting the future, I'm going to 1792 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 1: ask you to do just that. Where's the cap heading 1793 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,639 Speaker 1: when twenty twenty three hits and the new money comes 1794 01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:59,679 Speaker 1: in from the TV deals? Yeah, Steve, I think I'd 1795 01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 1: be well definite to be well over two hundred and 1796 01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:05,880 Speaker 1: maybe even twenty million, because right, you know, dip to 1797 01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:08,839 Speaker 1: one eighty two this last year, But that was considered 1798 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,760 Speaker 1: just an aberration. We'll get it should get closer to 1799 01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:16,400 Speaker 1: what it was in two thousand, twenty twenty, which is 1800 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,240 Speaker 1: around that one ninety eight two hundred million dollar market. 1801 01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 1: We'll get closer to that, and then it will start 1802 01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:23,719 Speaker 1: to grow excidentially. I think once you see all those 1803 01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,960 Speaker 1: factors kicking in, you could see growth of instead of 1804 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 1: ten million a year, more like twenty at least for 1805 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:34,040 Speaker 1: a few years. The numbers I've heard for you know, say, 1806 01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 1: five years from an how are pretty astronomical. You know, 1807 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:41,840 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of agents and even teams 1808 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: to an extent, are budgeting for that. One way or 1809 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,080 Speaker 1: the other. You're either kicking money down the line just 1810 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,080 Speaker 1: trying to get through this year knowing that you're going 1811 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,559 Speaker 1: to have a lot more salary cup of your disposal 1812 01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:54,760 Speaker 1: in the next three years. So how do you think 1813 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,840 Speaker 1: this could change the market for quarterbacks and quarterbacks who 1814 01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,200 Speaker 1: are going to be signing a contract extension in the 1815 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,879 Speaker 1: next couple of years. Do you think this could change 1816 01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,880 Speaker 1: how contracts look currently or how they're going to look 1817 01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 1: in the future. Well, that's interesting because despite the salary 1818 01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 1: cap increases they are coming, teams are still pretty learout 1819 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,960 Speaker 1: paying quarterbacks forty plus million dollars. You like, look at Cleveland, right, 1820 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,240 Speaker 1: you got Baker Mayfield, good player, good quarterback. Is see 1821 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 1: why they considered a top ten quarterback in the league. 1822 01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:29,040 Speaker 1: Probably not. And yet if you're Cleveland, do you pay 1823 01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,719 Speaker 1: him thirty five thirty seven wins even a new deal? 1824 01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,880 Speaker 1: They'll probably have to, and I think they won two 1825 01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:36,679 Speaker 1: for the most part. They want to keep their core intact. 1826 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:39,720 Speaker 1: But I've heard more and more other teams that are like, 1827 01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 1: unless you have a top five quarterback, keep drafting them, 1828 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, have him every three or four years, because 1829 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,639 Speaker 1: just paying that money is crazy. You look at Kirk 1830 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: Cousins next year as a forty five million dollars cap hit. 1831 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,559 Speaker 1: So even if the salary cap for the team was 1832 01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million, that's still twenty percent and 1833 01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:02,280 Speaker 1: it's not even gonna be close to two hundred fifty millions. 1834 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: That's a problem for teams. Russell Wilson in Seattle, that's 1835 01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:08,200 Speaker 1: been a problem of just trying to work around his 1836 01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:10,240 Speaker 1: big number. You want a great player in your great 1837 01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,960 Speaker 1: quarterback and stability, but it's tough. So I think Buffalo 1838 01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:15,600 Speaker 1: falls in the category of like, hey, we do have 1839 01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:18,320 Speaker 1: a top tip guy. So we're gonna push you get 1840 01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:19,439 Speaker 1: this down. But I think you're going to see more 1841 01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 1: and more teams, you know, like New York if Daniel 1842 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:24,080 Speaker 1: Jones doesn't have a good year or like you know, 1843 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,200 Speaker 1: you can't pay him or you just can't do it. 1844 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,000 Speaker 1: So you're going to see more decisions being made like 1845 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 1: that because that number is getting so high. Where I 1846 01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,639 Speaker 1: know some NFL owners wanted a separate salary cap during 1847 01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: the last TVA negotiation. They wanted it separate. You could 1848 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,639 Speaker 1: have like a max player slot, and it never happened. 1849 01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 1: But this is why they wanted that. Is there a 1850 01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,320 Speaker 1: team out there in the NFL that you can think 1851 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,600 Speaker 1: of that's getting it right with their quarterback and the 1852 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,479 Speaker 1: way they're doing it long term? Well, Patron Holmes, I mean, 1853 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,479 Speaker 1: it's a great deal for the Chiefs, not to say 1854 01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,240 Speaker 1: it can't be a great deal form Homes too because 1855 01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:00,479 Speaker 1: he earns all that money. Certainly, it's you have those 1856 01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:05,080 Speaker 1: roster bonuses in those coming years, are you know, attractive 1857 01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 1: for him? He kind of four four renthy early guaranteed money, 1858 01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,439 Speaker 1: the biggest money up front to get those roster bonuses. 1859 01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: Knowing that he's going to be on the team and 1860 01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 1: in surmail to the team and all that, you know. 1861 01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: So like, I think the Chiefs are doing it right 1862 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,599 Speaker 1: because they have the best player in the world, uh 1863 01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 1: locked up for a very long time, so you know 1864 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,639 Speaker 1: they are um, you know, I think for the most part, Um, 1865 01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 1: let's see who else. Uh, you know they're all um, 1866 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 1: most of these guys are worth it as the thing. 1867 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, So if you're if you're Aaron Rodgers in 1868 01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 1: Green Bay, I know they have their problems there, but 1869 01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,719 Speaker 1: when he's sawing that deal, you know, thirty four million 1870 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,280 Speaker 1: dollars a year for for that guy, and of course 1871 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:48,200 Speaker 1: you're going to do that. So you know, most most 1872 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,559 Speaker 1: of these cases are correct where you pay him and 1873 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,000 Speaker 1: you know you worry about the rest later is there 1874 01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:55,800 Speaker 1: is the kids Chief deal with Mahomes is kind of 1875 01:40:55,840 --> 01:41:01,720 Speaker 1: an out a difference as an outlier, Um, what what 1876 01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 1: if anything? Why is this? Is it a bad deal 1877 01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:06,760 Speaker 1: for Mahomes? And what's he guaranteed? And and it really 1878 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:11,639 Speaker 1: doesn't kick in, am I right until like twenty twenty three? Correct, Yeah, 1879 01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,240 Speaker 1: I'd have to pull it up, but yeah, the guarantees 1880 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,160 Speaker 1: up front were low, so like the technical guarantees which 1881 01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:19,479 Speaker 1: you know, like the signing bonus, all that stuff you 1882 01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:21,200 Speaker 1: get up front. That was that was sort of his 1883 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:24,400 Speaker 1: concession because they were tight on the cat and that 1884 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:27,680 Speaker 1: they had some maneuvering to do and players assigned. But 1885 01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 1: pretty soon here, I think a couple of years from now, 1886 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,599 Speaker 1: he'll start getting like those balloon payments like thirty million here, 1887 01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:38,599 Speaker 1: thirty five million there, and you know, pretty much lost 1888 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:40,680 Speaker 1: the chiefs in for a long time unless they want 1889 01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,559 Speaker 1: to keep renegotiating. The good thing for the team is 1890 01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,800 Speaker 1: that they can restructure that until the end of time 1891 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,479 Speaker 1: if they just want to keep creating space every year, 1892 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,000 Speaker 1: and there's not a whole lot mahomes can do about that, 1893 01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 1: or they could sort of rip it up and do 1894 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,639 Speaker 1: a new deal, but that would be harder to get 1895 01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:58,759 Speaker 1: the length of it. You'd have to take into account 1896 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,799 Speaker 1: all that, all those past or all the future salary 1897 01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 1: cap years. So it's it's very unique, and I think 1898 01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:05,880 Speaker 1: you were shocking at the time, and they did it 1899 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,639 Speaker 1: because of the length, you just don't see that very often. 1900 01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:11,400 Speaker 1: I think six years is sort of the longest you 1901 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,360 Speaker 1: saw in today's era. And you know a lot of 1902 01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:16,599 Speaker 1: agents would say, like I wouldn't do that. I would 1903 01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:18,479 Speaker 1: go four years or even three years if I could, 1904 01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,400 Speaker 1: like the shorter the better, get as many guarantees as 1905 01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:25,519 Speaker 1: you can. So it's all about, like, it's all about 1906 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:27,960 Speaker 1: what the players comforable with, what the team tries to 1907 01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:30,720 Speaker 1: get away with, and you've got to find, you know, 1908 01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,719 Speaker 1: a sweet thought. So there's a few of these teams 1909 01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:37,439 Speaker 1: and quarterbacks who are probably having these conversations and are 1910 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:41,080 Speaker 1: on the horizon of of doing some sort of contract extension, 1911 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,479 Speaker 1: you know, Lamar, Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and of course the 1912 01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:47,679 Speaker 1: quarterback that there's a quarterback of buffal of Bills, Josh Allen. 1913 01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:51,240 Speaker 1: Who do you think signs their contract extension first out 1914 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 1: of those three? Well, I think I wanted to be 1915 01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:59,719 Speaker 1: in Baker Mayfield because Josh Allen, Lamar or Jackson are 1916 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,960 Speaker 1: really top you know seven guys. You could argue about 1917 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,040 Speaker 1: Jackson with his packing ability, you know, to see fall 1918 01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:08,960 Speaker 1: a little bit, but you know he's a top ten guy, 1919 01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. So we're Baker. I don't 1920 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if he's there yet, even 1921 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 1: though we had a really good year last year. So 1922 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,080 Speaker 1: I think because of that, a different market for him, 1923 01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,639 Speaker 1: and yeah, all these guys want to weight each other out. 1924 01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:25,760 Speaker 1: It's smarter to let the first guy go reset your 1925 01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: market and then you can go over the top and 1926 01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,920 Speaker 1: get more money. So I think that's what Lamar and 1927 01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,320 Speaker 1: Josh will both do in this case. Maybe let Baker 1928 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 1: go first, set his own deal and then they'll come 1929 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,280 Speaker 1: over the top. Do you think and I'm gonna change 1930 01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:40,640 Speaker 1: the subject a little bit, not entirely, but do you 1931 01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:44,200 Speaker 1: think a new contract would go a long way to 1932 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:49,400 Speaker 1: smooth things over for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay? Well, 1933 01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:53,559 Speaker 1: the problem is we don't exactly know what we'll smooth 1934 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:55,439 Speaker 1: things over. Like I've tried to make a hundred calls 1935 01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:59,080 Speaker 1: on this, and it's just impossible to figure out exactly 1936 01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 1: what he wants. We know the relationship is strained, we 1937 01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 1: know he's frustrated. We know from what he said on 1938 01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,080 Speaker 1: Sports Center a couple of weeks ago, that's the Green base. 1939 01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:10,760 Speaker 1: For God, it's about the people. So clearly there's the 1940 01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:14,200 Speaker 1: risk of the front office. I don't know if money 1941 01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:17,759 Speaker 1: can solve that. I know Green Bay has has tried 1942 01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:20,519 Speaker 1: in that regard to at least get the ball rolling on. 1943 01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:23,960 Speaker 1: Maybe something that creates a better guy and key structure 1944 01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:27,040 Speaker 1: for him that ensures he's there for a few years. 1945 01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:30,400 Speaker 1: Excuse me, but nobody knows if he wants to really 1946 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,800 Speaker 1: be there. There just you know, he's pretty dug in 1947 01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:34,240 Speaker 1: and there's so many whispers that he doesn't want to 1948 01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:36,479 Speaker 1: be there, So I am not sure if the money 1949 01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,519 Speaker 1: will solve it. In most cases it does, so he'd 1950 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:41,200 Speaker 1: like to think that the Green Bay could get that 1951 01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:45,080 Speaker 1: done somehow and get him a new deal, But right 1952 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,320 Speaker 1: now they're just I think they're looking for solutions just 1953 01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:49,200 Speaker 1: like everybody else, and is sort of waiting this out 1954 01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,479 Speaker 1: to see if he shows up or if he, as 1955 01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:55,599 Speaker 1: a last resort, threatens retirement. Let's stay on the top 1956 01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:59,280 Speaker 1: of topic of quarterbacks and some older quarterbacks in the league. 1957 01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,519 Speaker 1: Someone that you have covered for quite some time. It's 1958 01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:05,600 Speaker 1: it's Big Ben. Do you think he has enough to 1959 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,760 Speaker 1: make the Steelers a contender aside from him? When you're 1960 01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:10,880 Speaker 1: looking at quarterbacks on this roster. Of course, we know 1961 01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:13,040 Speaker 1: it's going to be Big Ben this year, but in 1962 01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:17,040 Speaker 1: the future there's Dwayne Haskins, Josh Dobbs, and Mason Rudolph 1963 01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 1: still on that roster. Well. Ben Robbins first probably also 1964 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of the fastball, but I still think 1965 01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 1: that there's ability there and Hobbs he's got the pedigree 1966 01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000 Speaker 1: for them to win games. You know, I think coming 1967 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:32,920 Speaker 1: out the elbow surgery last year, he was a little 1968 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,559 Speaker 1: husbant um. You know. I'm probably fred hits too to extend, 1969 01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,120 Speaker 1: not afraid, but just trying to manage the game and 1970 01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:42,920 Speaker 1: keep himself healthy. So, you know, I think with Nazi 1971 01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,680 Speaker 1: Harris and which shouldn't be a better running game, that 1972 01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 1: will help him. So I do think still think he 1973 01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:49,040 Speaker 1: can get it done. He's not really a top ten 1974 01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:52,519 Speaker 1: guy anymore, but he's still on that fringe and capable 1975 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,680 Speaker 1: than most. I think the Steelers are. They know if 1976 01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a big year, then they're not producing them. 1977 01:45:58,360 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 1: They're not going to be in the playoffs again. So 1978 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,360 Speaker 1: they feel good enough about his presence that he can 1979 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:06,280 Speaker 1: at least get them close to there or there another 1980 01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:08,120 Speaker 1: one other quarterback I want to ask you about. It's 1981 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,240 Speaker 1: it's been so long since it's happened. It happened so 1982 01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,519 Speaker 1: early in the offseason that we kind of forget that 1983 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,519 Speaker 1: it has happened. So many stuff is going so much 1984 01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 1: stuff has gone on, But Matt Stafford is no longer 1985 01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:20,519 Speaker 1: detroit lyon and he's going to what I consider maybe 1986 01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,240 Speaker 1: to be one of the great quarterback gurus around right 1987 01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:29,360 Speaker 1: now in Sean McVeagh. What's gonna happen in your best 1988 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,920 Speaker 1: estimate to Matt Stafford in LA with the Rams and 1989 01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,679 Speaker 1: how much better are they with him in the fold? 1990 01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,320 Speaker 1: He's a major upgrade and there's no question about it. 1991 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:44,120 Speaker 1: I know the Rams are super excited about what he 1992 01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,719 Speaker 1: can do. Um not only just of his overall ability 1993 01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,680 Speaker 1: in his pedigree, but just you know, his ability to 1994 01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,080 Speaker 1: throw the deep ball. You know, they're they're like yards 1995 01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,679 Speaker 1: on air last year is pretty low. So they added 1996 01:46:55,760 --> 01:47:00,240 Speaker 1: some speed. They feel like with Cooper Cup and Robert 1997 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:02,880 Speaker 1: Woods kind of controlling the game from the receiver spots 1998 01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,000 Speaker 1: and then also having some complimentary pieces they can get 1999 01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:07,559 Speaker 1: deep like the Shan Jackson or some players they got 2000 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 1: in the draft, Like, they feel like Stafford can get 2001 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,439 Speaker 1: them connected deep, and so had another dimension of their offense. 2002 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, he and Sean McVay have hit it off 2003 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:19,759 Speaker 1: so far. We're just kind of their talking about offensive 2004 01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,200 Speaker 1: concepts and game planning and all those things. And so 2005 01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 1: he's kind of a dark horse MVP candidate. He talked 2006 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:28,599 Speaker 1: to other teams. You know, they think, hey, he's probably 2007 01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:31,439 Speaker 1: gone from like maybe the tenth best quarterback in the 2008 01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,519 Speaker 1: league to like the six or seventh right now. You 2009 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:35,280 Speaker 1: know the thing, I look at things, but I think 2010 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:40,000 Speaker 1: that McVay, the McBay factor with Stafford knowing if he 2011 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:43,200 Speaker 1: kind of slogs through all those years in Detroit, gives 2012 01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:48,000 Speaker 1: him sort of a renewed confidence. Speaking of dark horses, 2013 01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,000 Speaker 1: are there any younger quarterbacks who are you are who 2014 01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:54,719 Speaker 1: you are most excited to watch this season? Maybe rookies, 2015 01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 1: second year players that you're looking forward to seeing what 2016 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:03,280 Speaker 1: they can do in the NFL. Well, it's a crucial 2017 01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:04,920 Speaker 1: year for Daniel Jones in New York. I mean, they're 2018 01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,360 Speaker 1: surrounding him with a bunch of weapons. I don't know 2019 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: if he's like an ascending player I'm excited about for him, 2020 01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:13,000 Speaker 1: it's more like the pressures on it is really made 2021 01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,400 Speaker 1: up because there's some ability there and he's shown some 2022 01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:18,639 Speaker 1: some great glimpses in brilliant moments, but then he takes 2023 01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:23,160 Speaker 1: them away with turnovers. So you know they got Kenny Galladay. 2024 01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:26,120 Speaker 1: There is toning the draft. Kyle Rude up a tight 2025 01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,240 Speaker 1: end to pair with Evan Ingram like a lot of 2026 01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:30,760 Speaker 1: weapons there now, So it's going to be on him 2027 01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:32,479 Speaker 1: to put it all together, and I'm eager to see 2028 01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:35,599 Speaker 1: what he does. Getting back. One last thing from me 2029 01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,280 Speaker 1: I got to ask you about, is these the twenty 2030 01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:43,160 Speaker 1: eighteen quarterback class we had Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh 2031 01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:46,639 Speaker 1: Allen and Lamar Jackson. Of course Josh Rosen not really 2032 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,040 Speaker 1: in the picture. But which of those three, Lamar, Josh 2033 01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,519 Speaker 1: or Baker, which one signs first? And how do you 2034 01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:58,080 Speaker 1: think will those deals be vastly different from one another? Well, 2035 01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:01,120 Speaker 1: there could be, and I think Baker or Mayfield to 2036 01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:02,799 Speaker 1: be the one to sign first because he's not considered 2037 01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 1: the same Calgary player those as there's other two at 2038 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,840 Speaker 1: least right now, very coming off a very good teason, 2039 01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:11,479 Speaker 1: very good quarterback. But Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, you know, 2040 01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:14,759 Speaker 1: as an MVP and then a guy who's guided Buffalo 2041 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,639 Speaker 1: to new highs last year. They're more considered top top 2042 01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:19,880 Speaker 1: five to seven guys in the league, you know, first 2043 01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:24,479 Speaker 1: or fringe fringe first here guys. So they can afford 2044 01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:27,720 Speaker 1: to sort of wait and let the first quarterback Goum 2045 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,320 Speaker 1: which I think will be Mayfield, but it all depends 2046 01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:33,720 Speaker 1: on how negotiation chakeout, and maybe Mayfield thinking the same 2047 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:35,559 Speaker 1: thing like, hey, I've accomplished a lot and I can 2048 01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:38,639 Speaker 1: sit and way too. I don't have to overreact. So 2049 01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:42,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to tell how the deals will be different. 2050 01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:45,559 Speaker 1: But I know the Browns their challenges. You know, they've 2051 01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:50,040 Speaker 1: got four or five guys they want to resign, Baker, Mayfield, 2052 01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:53,080 Speaker 1: Denzil Wore the cornerback, while Teller a guard, and each 2053 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,800 Speaker 1: other running back. They have a lot of work to 2054 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,320 Speaker 1: do um and so I think they'll be proactive and 2055 01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,640 Speaker 1: getting trying to get Baker and maybe even Denzel War 2056 01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:02,800 Speaker 1: done because they're the two years left on the rookie deal, 2057 01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:04,600 Speaker 1: to try to spread out the cab and then you 2058 01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:06,800 Speaker 1: do a four or five extension four or five year 2059 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:10,960 Speaker 1: extension along with those two years. Jeremy, thanks for coming 2060 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,560 Speaker 1: on to break down some quarterback talk with us, especially 2061 01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:18,599 Speaker 1: the contract extension talks surrounding Josh Allen. What it would 2062 01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 1: look like, if it'll be more team friendly than not, 2063 01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,000 Speaker 1: or if it'll be in between that Dak Prescott, Patrick 2064 01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:28,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes type of deal. So we appreciate the insight about 2065 01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:32,559 Speaker 1: Josh and and several other quarterbacks in the NFL. Hey, 2066 01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:35,519 Speaker 1: thanks every appreciate you having me have a great day. 2067 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,559 Speaker 1: Thanks Jeremy. All right, that was Jeremy Fowler, senior NFL 2068 01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:42,559 Speaker 1: writer for ESPN, and had some good things to say 2069 01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:47,559 Speaker 1: just about Josh Lamar Baker. He thinks Baker is going 2070 01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:49,960 Speaker 1: to sign first out of those three to kind of 2071 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,960 Speaker 1: give us a picture, and he's right by. You know, 2072 01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:55,960 Speaker 1: you never want to be the first to sign, right, 2073 01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:58,360 Speaker 1: You want that other person to sign so then you 2074 01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:01,280 Speaker 1: can say, Okay, here's what his looks like. So this 2075 01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:02,800 Speaker 1: is what I like from it, this is what I 2076 01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 1: don't like from it. This is the higher number that 2077 01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:08,599 Speaker 1: I want from this deal. So you can base yourself 2078 01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,639 Speaker 1: off of something well and think about it too. Josh 2079 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:15,679 Speaker 1: Allen and Lamar Jackson, they don't want to sign before Baker. 2080 01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:17,599 Speaker 1: They got to say, listen, I'm better than that guy. 2081 01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:19,479 Speaker 1: And they want Baker to go in and hit a 2082 01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:22,360 Speaker 1: home run. Right. They want Baker Mayfield to sign a 2083 01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,680 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars a year deal, right because if he 2084 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,200 Speaker 1: signs that, they can just say, hey, I'm better than 2085 01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:31,160 Speaker 1: that guy. You know. It's a little bit like It's 2086 01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:32,960 Speaker 1: a little like what we've heard about Tom Brady the 2087 01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,800 Speaker 1: last couple of days where he says, you guys are 2088 01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:37,640 Speaker 1: gonna stick with that guy, right, and then he goes 2089 01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:39,680 Speaker 1: and wins the Super Bowl. So if you're gonna stick 2090 01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:42,519 Speaker 1: with that guy, I'm gonna show you what. So Lamar 2091 01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:46,200 Speaker 1: and Josh can sit there and say, whatever Baker gets, 2092 01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:49,000 Speaker 1: you can add you can add ten percent of that 2093 01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:52,840 Speaker 1: onto me because I'm better and my play proves it. 2094 01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:56,960 Speaker 1: So and Baker can sit there and too and say, yeah, 2095 01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,280 Speaker 1: I need to I need to sign. He may say 2096 01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,360 Speaker 1: I need to sign first because of listen, I can 2097 01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:04,080 Speaker 1: say I'm as good as Dak Prescott. At least give 2098 01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:07,120 Speaker 1: me that cash, and he's got to be at least 2099 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:13,400 Speaker 1: in that ballpark. So I'm and plus for Baker Mayfield, 2100 01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:16,240 Speaker 1: he isn't a unique position, rather than more so than 2101 01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 1: even Josh, although he's a little bit similar to Josh, 2102 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,320 Speaker 1: not so much to Lamar, but he's in a similar 2103 01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:25,200 Speaker 1: position to Josh because Josh comes in to a team 2104 01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:28,360 Speaker 1: that had not been in the playoffs for umpteen years 2105 01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:31,080 Speaker 1: and boom, they're in the playoffs. And Josh got into 2106 01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:33,519 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, Baker, same thing. They got a 2107 01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:36,880 Speaker 1: list a laundry, a long list of quarterbacks that have 2108 01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:39,719 Speaker 1: come through Cleveland, and Baker's the guy that's finally playing 2109 01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:41,760 Speaker 1: well enough to get him in the playoffs and give 2110 01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs all they can handle. So Baker's got to 2111 01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,800 Speaker 1: be sitting there going, hey, if you're not gonna sign me, 2112 01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I won't sign. If you don't give me 2113 01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:52,760 Speaker 1: the number I want, I'm not signing, then what are 2114 01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:55,920 Speaker 1: you gonna tell your fans? Then what are you gonna do? 2115 01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,080 Speaker 1: Because I will sit here. You can franchise me, but 2116 01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:00,680 Speaker 1: that franchise number is gonna do nothing but go up, up, up, 2117 01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,240 Speaker 1: up up up. So I would be perfectly willing to 2118 01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:08,479 Speaker 1: sit here and not sign. In fact, now that I 2119 01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,799 Speaker 1: say that, if I'm Baker Mayfield, that may be exactly 2120 01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:16,639 Speaker 1: what I do. Do not sign an extension. Now I'm 2121 01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 1: getting out of it. I'm out. I'm out. Either you 2122 01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,439 Speaker 1: give me a mega deal or I'm out and Cleveland 2123 01:53:22,520 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 1: goes back into the abyss. That's now, that's right. I 2124 01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:30,160 Speaker 1: think about it, that I might that might be the 2125 01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 1: thing just to do that. Either give me the money 2126 01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,800 Speaker 1: I want or I'm just gonna leave and you can 2127 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:40,240 Speaker 1: go back to being Cleveland Browns. I don't think they 2128 01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,160 Speaker 1: would do that. They wouldn't let it do that. See, 2129 01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:47,799 Speaker 1: that's the whole point. They'd sign him. Hm, that's interesting. 2130 01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:52,320 Speaker 1: If you're Baker, you you've because you've got some leverage 2131 01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:55,519 Speaker 1: in Cleveland that nobody else has. He is he is 2132 01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:57,519 Speaker 1: the guy that has dragged them out of the abyss. 2133 01:53:57,760 --> 01:54:00,120 Speaker 1: Yeah in Lord. Now, they've got a great team, They've 2134 01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,720 Speaker 1: got a ton of great players and all, and they've 2135 01:54:02,760 --> 01:54:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, they've got a lot of people doing the 2136 01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:07,519 Speaker 1: right thing. But we all know how perception is. Baker's 2137 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:11,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback that is the period at the end of 2138 01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:14,840 Speaker 1: a long list of quarterbacks who could not play. So 2139 01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:18,680 Speaker 1: to finally get that guy, you can't let him get 2140 01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:23,599 Speaker 1: out the door. And he should know that. That's really 2141 01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,320 Speaker 1: interesting to me now that I think about it, that 2142 01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:27,880 Speaker 1: Baker may be the last guy that signs. He may 2143 01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:32,840 Speaker 1: be they may he may force them to franchise him. 2144 01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:36,320 Speaker 1: That that if in a in a vacuum, that is 2145 01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:41,160 Speaker 1: exactly what I do. If I'm Baker Mayfield, Oh my gosh, 2146 01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 1: that's that would be so delicious. We should get bigger 2147 01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:47,160 Speaker 1: on the phone tell him. We tell me figured out 2148 01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:50,920 Speaker 1: the secret sauce to force contract, force their hand. Don't 2149 01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:54,080 Speaker 1: sign it no matter what the number is, unless it's 2150 01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:57,120 Speaker 1: like a, you know, fifty million dollars years or whatever 2151 01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 1: what two years and he's going to be helping out 2152 01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:03,400 Speaker 1: Josh Shellen Jackson too. Yeah, And because that's that's really 2153 01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:05,480 Speaker 1: interesting because if I'm Baker Mayfield, I do not sign 2154 01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:11,560 Speaker 1: any extension none. Just sit and say no, thank you. 2155 01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:15,120 Speaker 1: I'll take the franchise tag. They can't because they can 2156 01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,320 Speaker 1: do it like twice or three times, and it's gonna 2157 01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:20,720 Speaker 1: do nothing but go up and ask Kirk Cousins. He is. 2158 01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:24,000 Speaker 1: He is the absolute first ballot Hall of Famer in 2159 01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:27,160 Speaker 1: the business of football. Fourth round draft pick, and he's 2160 01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:34,040 Speaker 1: made you know, he's made maybe more than anybody. That's 2161 01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:36,360 Speaker 1: my prediction. Now, Baker Mayfield's not going to sign any 2162 01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:41,080 Speaker 1: deal because that's the smart here. First, that's the smart move. 2163 01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,880 Speaker 1: Just do not sign. Do not sign until its number 2164 01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:48,280 Speaker 1: that you exactly want different. Yeah, you gott to force 2165 01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:51,400 Speaker 1: them to franchise you and play it out. See what 2166 01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:54,240 Speaker 1: they do, see what you do. Well, someone who's not 2167 01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:57,520 Speaker 1: leaving our building is Josh Allen he's definitely here to stay. 2168 01:55:57,840 --> 01:55:59,839 Speaker 1: We just got to figure out what type of contract 2169 01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:03,120 Speaker 1: is when it's going to happen. I'm sure we'll hear it, 2170 01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,840 Speaker 1: whether it's this season or next season, but they are 2171 01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:08,600 Speaker 1: going to want to lock him in for a good 2172 01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:10,840 Speaker 1: amount of time based on what he's done in his 2173 01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:12,840 Speaker 1: first few seasons with the Buffalo Bills. But we're going 2174 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:14,480 Speaker 1: to take a break. When we come back, we will 2175 01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:18,640 Speaker 1: continue this conversation as we close out our number three 2176 01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 1: of One Bills Live, which is presented by Clyde Health 2177 01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:35,960 Speaker 1: here on Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live, 2178 01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:40,760 Speaker 1: Matti Glab alongside Steve Tasker, and we would like to 2179 01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:46,760 Speaker 1: shift the conversation to some news that came out yesterday online. 2180 01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:51,920 Speaker 1: Raiders defensive lineman Carl Nassib becomes the first active player 2181 01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:55,080 Speaker 1: to come out as gay. We know June is Pride 2182 01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:59,320 Speaker 1: Month here and across the NFL. Different teams are are 2183 01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:03,840 Speaker 1: posting certain things to go along with Pride Month, and 2184 01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,360 Speaker 1: I know the Buffalo Bills have some things in the 2185 01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:10,839 Speaker 1: works for Pride Month. But Raiders defensive lineman Karl Nassib, 2186 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:15,520 Speaker 1: he posted a video on Instagram. I believe and also 2187 01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:18,760 Speaker 1: on Twitter and also posted a couple of slides with 2188 01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:23,000 Speaker 1: some text explaining that he is gay and wanting to 2189 01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:26,280 Speaker 1: come out and meaning to do it for a long time, 2190 01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,520 Speaker 1: and explaining how great his family is and how great 2191 01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:31,960 Speaker 1: his friends are, and saying that you know, he's a 2192 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:35,800 Speaker 1: pretty private person and he wasn't doing it for attention, 2193 01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:40,360 Speaker 1: but just wanted to do it for the representation visibility 2194 01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:43,640 Speaker 1: and because that is so important, and hoping that he said, 2195 01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:45,920 Speaker 1: I hope that one day videos like this don't even 2196 01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:50,080 Speaker 1: have to happen and that they aren't necessary, but explaining 2197 01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,440 Speaker 1: he wants to do his part and do his best 2198 01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:56,200 Speaker 1: to cultivate a culture that it's accepting and compassionate. And 2199 01:57:56,240 --> 01:57:58,800 Speaker 1: he also explained that he's going to donate one hundred 2200 01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:02,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to the Trevor Project, which is an organization 2201 01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:07,480 Speaker 1: that's the number one suicide prevention service for LGBTQ plus 2202 01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:12,800 Speaker 1: youth in America. So, what an awesome day to hear 2203 01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:18,200 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Awesome news for the NFL for Carl 2204 01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:23,360 Speaker 1: to be able to come out publicly. It's such a 2205 01:58:23,400 --> 01:58:28,280 Speaker 1: big deal right now currently because he is the one 2206 01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:32,080 Speaker 1: active player who has came out and I do hope 2207 01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:36,280 Speaker 1: that we get to a place years, hopefully a year 2208 01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:38,400 Speaker 1: from now or a couple of years from now, where 2209 01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,160 Speaker 1: this isn't such a big deal and it is more 2210 01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:46,800 Speaker 1: acceptable and it isn't a stigma or something that can't 2211 01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:49,120 Speaker 1: happen in the NFL. And you have to think there's 2212 01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:53,400 Speaker 1: more players in professional sports that, because of this, maybe 2213 01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:56,320 Speaker 1: feel comfortable enough to come to the forefront and say, 2214 01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:59,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I Am also going to come forward 2215 01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:03,040 Speaker 1: and say, you know, I am gay, I'm lesbian, I'm bisexual, 2216 01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:07,839 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, to make it to a point 2217 01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:11,879 Speaker 1: where it's not something that is looked at so differently 2218 01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,040 Speaker 1: in this community and in this country and in this world. 2219 01:59:15,560 --> 01:59:18,640 Speaker 1: It can become something that is more accepting, that is 2220 01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:23,280 Speaker 1: more celebrated, that people smile at, that people appreciate that, 2221 01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,640 Speaker 1: people want to love you for So I appreciate Karl 2222 01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:30,560 Speaker 1: Nassib's strength to be able to do this and set 2223 01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:36,680 Speaker 1: an example because these NFL players and professional athletes in general, 2224 01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:40,320 Speaker 1: they have such an awesome platform, and to be able 2225 01:59:40,360 --> 01:59:43,600 Speaker 1: to use that platform for change and for good and 2226 01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:48,040 Speaker 1: for something like this is incredible. And it's why I 2227 01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:51,960 Speaker 1: appreciate and respect and look up to athletes so much, 2228 01:59:52,040 --> 01:59:54,680 Speaker 1: knowing that the power that they have at their fingertips 2229 01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:57,960 Speaker 1: and at their hands can change someone else's life for good, 2230 01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:04,280 Speaker 1: can inspire someone, can help someone not have suicidal thoughts 2231 02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:07,800 Speaker 1: or take their own lives, or can help someone out 2232 02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:10,960 Speaker 1: of really tough and dark time. And so for Carl 2233 02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:13,040 Speaker 1: to be able to come forward and have the strength 2234 02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,480 Speaker 1: to do that, I think is so wonderful and should 2235 02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:21,200 Speaker 1: be celebrated and should be commemorated and remembered a day 2236 02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,240 Speaker 1: like this. So hopefully when we look back on this 2237 02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:27,520 Speaker 1: five to ten years from now, things like this aren't 2238 02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:29,800 Speaker 1: such a big deal because it's more normal. Yeah, and 2239 02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:32,240 Speaker 1: there have been other players who have come out as 2240 02:00:32,280 --> 02:00:35,640 Speaker 1: gay after their playing career was overnight. I think some 2241 02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:38,240 Speaker 1: of the things that I've heard online and read about 2242 02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:41,480 Speaker 1: the Karl Nassa situation and with the Las Vegas Raiders 2243 02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:43,840 Speaker 1: is that it seems as though, and I don't know 2244 02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:45,840 Speaker 1: this for sure, but it seems as though we're getting 2245 02:00:45,880 --> 02:00:49,400 Speaker 1: inkling that a number of his teammates, if not all 2246 02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:52,760 Speaker 1: of his teammates had were well aware that he was gay. 2247 02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:57,040 Speaker 1: And the simple fact of the matter is whether it's 2248 02:00:57,080 --> 02:00:59,920 Speaker 1: surprising or not. Two people outside of football. The one 2249 02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:02,440 Speaker 1: question they have is are you a good teammate? And 2250 02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:05,879 Speaker 1: can you play? And Karl Nasseb is a good teammate 2251 02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:08,520 Speaker 1: and he can play, and that was the thing that 2252 02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:12,440 Speaker 1: was important for his football career. And and you're right, 2253 02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:14,600 Speaker 1: in the day and age in which we live, it's 2254 02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:18,080 Speaker 1: different and a guy. Sometimes it takes a person who 2255 02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:21,520 Speaker 1: is secure enough as a professional athlete with financial freedoms 2256 02:01:21,560 --> 02:01:23,640 Speaker 1: that it has given him the platform that it has 2257 02:01:23,680 --> 02:01:27,480 Speaker 1: given him. Sometimes it seems almost easier for them not 2258 02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:29,640 Speaker 1: to care what people say or what society has to 2259 02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:32,000 Speaker 1: say about them, so it's easier for them to come 2260 02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:35,120 Speaker 1: out of the way Karl Nasseb did. But I thought 2261 02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:37,800 Speaker 1: it was telling as well that he said that his 2262 02:01:38,040 --> 02:01:41,640 Speaker 1: last note was that for the for the I'm sorry, 2263 02:01:41,720 --> 02:01:47,280 Speaker 1: the Jeremy project, Trevor, forgive me the Trevor project. You 2264 02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:50,640 Speaker 1: got kids of all ages and adults of all ages 2265 02:01:50,680 --> 02:01:52,720 Speaker 1: that you know, take their own life because they're dealing 2266 02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,880 Speaker 1: with this and they're not in that spot where Karl 2267 02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Nassa is, and they take their own life as a result. 2268 02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:03,240 Speaker 1: And whether you're whether you're you know, whether you're tolerant 2269 02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:06,600 Speaker 1: of the gay lifestyle, or whatever that you know, whatever 2270 02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:11,360 Speaker 1: your thoughts are about that, we don't need anybody killing 2271 02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:14,080 Speaker 1: themselves over it because we can't talk about it. And 2272 02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:17,360 Speaker 1: I applaud Carl Nassa for putting that out there and 2273 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:21,080 Speaker 1: making a six figure donation to that so that maybe 2274 02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:24,600 Speaker 1: one adult can get in these kids' lives and keep 2275 02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:27,600 Speaker 1: them from taking their own life and saving them because 2276 02:02:27,600 --> 02:02:31,960 Speaker 1: they are worth saving, just like everybody else is so 2277 02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:36,440 Speaker 1: good for him is It's an issue that goes beyond that, 2278 02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:39,440 Speaker 1: and I'm glad Carl brought that to the attention using 2279 02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:43,680 Speaker 1: this his platform as a pro athlete. So I think 2280 02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:47,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people would. I've got friends who are gay, 2281 02:02:47,880 --> 02:02:53,720 Speaker 1: I know people, Yeah, it'd be nice for them to 2282 02:02:54,280 --> 02:02:56,880 Speaker 1: for him to this not to be a big deal. 2283 02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Not because you don't care about it, or because you 2284 02:02:59,480 --> 02:03:01,760 Speaker 1: don't be thighs with them, or because you know they 2285 02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, anything like that. I just I wish we 2286 02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:09,600 Speaker 1: were over it. Yeah, they could live their lives in 2287 02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:12,520 Speaker 1: a warm a way without having to wonder what somebody's 2288 02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna think. Hayte and racism have no place on this 2289 02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:19,360 Speaker 1: world or in this earth, and we deserve to to 2290 02:03:19,480 --> 02:03:23,920 Speaker 1: love everybody, and we should love everybody, regardless of what 2291 02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:27,840 Speaker 1: they look like, how they identify people are wonderful and 2292 02:03:27,840 --> 02:03:30,080 Speaker 1: they bring so many good things to the table, and 2293 02:03:30,120 --> 02:03:32,960 Speaker 1: they make this world so special in so many different ways. 2294 02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:39,040 Speaker 1: And I was able to have a firsthand experience with 2295 02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Michael Sam when he came out as gay. He was 2296 02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:46,480 Speaker 1: the first drafted player to come out as gay. Now 2297 02:03:46,520 --> 02:03:49,240 Speaker 1: he bounced around on practice squads and was on the St. 2298 02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Louis Rams and the Dallas Cowboys for a couple short seasons, 2299 02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I want to say one or two years. I went 2300 02:03:56,920 --> 02:04:00,600 Speaker 1: to the University Missouri, That's where Michael Sam went. We 2301 02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:03,560 Speaker 1: were both in the same graduating class. He was actually 2302 02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:06,560 Speaker 1: roommates with someone I went to high school with, and 2303 02:04:06,640 --> 02:04:10,400 Speaker 1: so I got to know Michael Sam. I wouldn't say 2304 02:04:10,440 --> 02:04:13,160 Speaker 1: he was a best friend, but he was someone that 2305 02:04:13,560 --> 02:04:15,880 Speaker 1: I would see from time to time and was a 2306 02:04:16,040 --> 02:04:18,960 Speaker 1: fun person to be around. And he came out right 2307 02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:23,680 Speaker 1: before his pro day at MISSOO didn't have the best 2308 02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:26,720 Speaker 1: pro day. That didn't help him too much, I want 2309 02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:30,680 Speaker 1: to say, in the NFL draft. Didn't have the best 2310 02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:35,360 Speaker 1: scouting combine either, and unfortunately got into the NFL and 2311 02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:38,920 Speaker 1: really didn't have that great of a career, is no 2312 02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:43,440 Speaker 1: longer an NFL player, And he was, like I said, 2313 02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:46,200 Speaker 1: the first drafted player to come out as gay, and 2314 02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:50,720 Speaker 1: I have to think at that time it it might 2315 02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:54,400 Speaker 1: have not have helped him because he was he was 2316 02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:59,960 Speaker 1: that first person, and he was going into a different 2317 02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:02,960 Speaker 1: locker room, a locker room that was not as familiar 2318 02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:05,680 Speaker 1: with him as the Missoo locker room, and I think 2319 02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:09,800 Speaker 1: at that point, maybe the world was not at a 2320 02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:13,640 Speaker 1: place where it is currently to be that accepting of 2321 02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:16,200 Speaker 1: something like that. I would have loved for him to 2322 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:20,400 Speaker 1: flourish in the NFL and have a great career. In college, 2323 02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:22,680 Speaker 1: he had one hundred and twenty three tackles, thirty six 2324 02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:26,320 Speaker 1: for lost, twenty one sacks, six forced fumbles, and two 2325 02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:30,000 Speaker 1: intercepted passes. And he was someone who I watched when 2326 02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:32,480 Speaker 1: I was at Missoo and thought he could have a 2327 02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:38,920 Speaker 1: great NFL career. You know, No wonder not sure why 2328 02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:43,040 Speaker 1: exactly he wasn't able to make that work, but he 2329 02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:45,520 Speaker 1: was someone that a lot of people when he came 2330 02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:50,160 Speaker 1: out in twenty fourteen, we're really happy that he did that, 2331 02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:55,360 Speaker 1: And just like Karl Nassef, I'm sure several people were 2332 02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:58,520 Speaker 1: inspired by him or were able to change the course 2333 02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:02,960 Speaker 1: of their lives because of him. And like you said 2334 02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:07,600 Speaker 1: with Karl Nassev before coming out, that many players on 2335 02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:10,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders knew and they were comfortable with it. This 2336 02:06:10,560 --> 02:06:14,640 Speaker 1: is how it was at Missoo too, before Michael Sam 2337 02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:18,160 Speaker 1: came out publicly. It was like this known kept secret 2338 02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:23,120 Speaker 1: in Columbia, Missouri. The entire football team knew. Several people 2339 02:06:23,200 --> 02:06:27,680 Speaker 1: who attended the school who are friends with him knew, 2340 02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,880 Speaker 1: and it was I love that you can be a 2341 02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:32,840 Speaker 1: part of a team and a part of a community 2342 02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:36,600 Speaker 1: that does not need to tell your business and it's 2343 02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,960 Speaker 1: your business to come out and say. And for Michael Sam, 2344 02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:42,840 Speaker 1: I think it was people knew that about him for 2345 02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:47,640 Speaker 1: a long time and it was still able to be 2346 02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:50,720 Speaker 1: kept as a secret, and it was until he was 2347 02:06:50,760 --> 02:06:53,680 Speaker 1: ready to come forth with that information and announce that. 2348 02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,160 Speaker 1: And I just think that is so cool. And I 2349 02:06:56,600 --> 02:06:59,880 Speaker 1: thought it was just so awesome to hear how his 2350 02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:02,640 Speaker 1: teammates at Miszoo who were friends of mine talked about 2351 02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:06,120 Speaker 1: him and accepted him for who he was and weren't 2352 02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:11,440 Speaker 1: scared or didn't feel didn't feel weird or uncomfortable about it, 2353 02:07:11,480 --> 02:07:13,920 Speaker 1: but loved him. As a brother and cheered him on 2354 02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:17,200 Speaker 1: and wanted him to come forth with this information whenever 2355 02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:19,120 Speaker 1: he was ready. And I'm sure it was much of 2356 02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the same with Carl nassib in this regard and that 2357 02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:24,760 Speaker 1: you're you're a part of a locker room. That's that's 2358 02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:28,720 Speaker 1: a brotherhood to you and you have basically family members 2359 02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:33,160 Speaker 1: standing staying standing aside you, um ready for you whenever 2360 02:07:33,240 --> 02:07:36,560 Speaker 1: you're ready to announce this information. And I love that 2361 02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:39,320 Speaker 1: it seemed like for Carl as well as Michael Sammit, 2362 02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:42,280 Speaker 1: it came from a place of love. And these players 2363 02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:45,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't have done that unless they had the environment that 2364 02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:49,360 Speaker 1: they were in to announce this type of information. Yeah, 2365 02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:51,760 Speaker 1: and I'm being on a team. You were, you were 2366 02:07:51,800 --> 02:07:54,760 Speaker 1: a competitive player on a team, and being on a 2367 02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:57,040 Speaker 1: part of a team, it's a It means a lot 2368 02:07:57,440 --> 02:08:00,200 Speaker 1: to have your teammates behind you and have their friendship 2369 02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:01,920 Speaker 1: and you know that you got their love and respect. 2370 02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I was on a great team, you know, back in 2371 02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the day when we were going to Super Bowls and 2372 02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:08,040 Speaker 1: all that, and all those guys are still, you know, 2373 02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:10,240 Speaker 1: lifelong friends of mine, real close friends of mine. And 2374 02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:14,800 Speaker 1: here's the thing. They loved me and respected me despite 2375 02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:16,640 Speaker 1: all my issues that I brought to the table, which 2376 02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:21,000 Speaker 1: were many. I mean I was, I did dumb stuff 2377 02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:22,520 Speaker 1: all the time, too, right, I mean I have my 2378 02:08:22,600 --> 02:08:27,280 Speaker 1: issues and they liked me and respected me despite all 2379 02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:29,320 Speaker 1: of that, all the dumb stuff or whatever I did, 2380 02:08:30,160 --> 02:08:34,720 Speaker 1: and I returned the favor. How you know, I can't 2381 02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:39,960 Speaker 1: state enough that when you're in a team setting and 2382 02:08:40,040 --> 02:08:42,720 Speaker 1: you're in a locker room, and you and there's absolutely 2383 02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:48,440 Speaker 1: in a healthy locker room, nothing is off limits for 2384 02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:55,959 Speaker 1: for guys to talk about wives, children, girlfriends, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, 2385 02:08:56,400 --> 02:09:01,480 Speaker 1: family politics. Everything is on the table and free to 2386 02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:02,920 Speaker 1: be talked about it in a lot because that's what 2387 02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:08,720 Speaker 1: guys do. It's like it's like a barbershop, only only exaggerated. 2388 02:09:09,040 --> 02:09:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you can talk about literally everything, and you 2389 02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:16,320 Speaker 1: can you can be insulted and insulted, you know, so everybody, 2390 02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:19,920 Speaker 1: everybody's issues and politics and everything come out. So it 2391 02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,600 Speaker 1: is the most known you can be there, and you 2392 02:09:22,720 --> 02:09:25,960 Speaker 1: are the most known by people outside your intimate family, 2393 02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,480 Speaker 1: better in that locker room than anyplace else you'll ever 2394 02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:31,000 Speaker 1: be in your life, no matter. I don't care if 2395 02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:32,600 Speaker 1: you live to be two hundred years old. The locker 2396 02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:34,720 Speaker 1: room will always know you for who you really and 2397 02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:39,640 Speaker 1: truly are. And that's one of the things that entices 2398 02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:41,360 Speaker 1: guys to be a part of it. They want to 2399 02:09:41,400 --> 02:09:43,720 Speaker 1: be on that team because to be known like that 2400 02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:48,400 Speaker 1: and still be respected and love despite all the junk 2401 02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:50,880 Speaker 1: you bring to the table, no matter what it is, 2402 02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:56,160 Speaker 1: whether it's your upbringing, your race, your religion, your family, 2403 02:09:56,360 --> 02:10:00,920 Speaker 1: no matter what your your addiction issues, or your actual orientation, 2404 02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:03,760 Speaker 1: no matter what any of that stuff is, you still 2405 02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:06,240 Speaker 1: in a locker room where guys love and respect you, 2406 02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:07,800 Speaker 1: and they work with you, and they and they work 2407 02:10:07,800 --> 02:10:09,640 Speaker 1: alongside you and you and you work for the same 2408 02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:12,840 Speaker 1: goal you try and win football games, baseball games, soccer games, 2409 02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:16,640 Speaker 1: and to be loved and respected in that environment is 2410 02:10:16,680 --> 02:10:19,480 Speaker 1: really comforting. And that's what entices a lot of guys 2411 02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:21,840 Speaker 1: and wants them to be part of a team sport 2412 02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:24,280 Speaker 1: instead of a sport like a tennis or a sport 2413 02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:29,240 Speaker 1: like ping pong or swimming or golf even. And that's 2414 02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:31,320 Speaker 1: why I think in a lot of ways, I've said 2415 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:35,280 Speaker 1: this many times. Certainly the NFL, and it's in the 2416 02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:38,200 Speaker 1: league and the way it's administrated. Certainly it lags behind 2417 02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:41,160 Speaker 1: in certain areas, you know, the minority hirings of head 2418 02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:43,640 Speaker 1: coaches and executives and that kind of thing, And and 2419 02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:48,760 Speaker 1: the criticism at got over Colin Kaepernick, deserved or undeserved, 2420 02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:51,560 Speaker 1: whatever it was. You know that they certainly lag behind 2421 02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:54,280 Speaker 1: where you'd like to see them in the forefront of 2422 02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:57,440 Speaker 1: progressive behavior towards everybody. But they're in a lot in 2423 02:10:57,480 --> 02:11:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of ways professional football and other sports like 2424 02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:02,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not familiar with, but I know it is 2425 02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:05,360 Speaker 1: this way in football. In a lot of ways, football 2426 02:11:05,440 --> 02:11:09,520 Speaker 1: is on the forefront of reconciling all of those differences 2427 02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:11,880 Speaker 1: in everybody because that's where it gets spoken about in 2428 02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:14,880 Speaker 1: real terms with people who are on opposite sides, who 2429 02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:18,240 Speaker 1: still love each other, and they become lifelong friends across 2430 02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:23,480 Speaker 1: those chasms that are differences. And that's why this thing 2431 02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:26,200 Speaker 1: with Carl Nasseb coming out of the first gay player 2432 02:11:26,240 --> 02:11:29,120 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, there's gonna be a lot 2433 02:11:29,120 --> 02:11:32,000 Speaker 1: of guys in that locker room. I'm good with it. Yeah, 2434 02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:34,880 Speaker 1: he's my guy. Let's go, Yeah, let's play, you know, 2435 02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:39,400 Speaker 1: And that's that's the beauty of the sport. In a 2436 02:11:39,400 --> 02:11:41,920 Speaker 1: lot of ways, where some people point the finger out 2437 02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and say it lacks awareness. It should do this in 2438 02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,160 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. They get it right. Awesome for 2439 02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Karl Nassub, Awesome for the NFL. We thank him for 2440 02:11:50,120 --> 02:11:52,800 Speaker 1: coming forward to say that he's gay. I hope it 2441 02:11:52,840 --> 02:11:54,760 Speaker 1: helps a lot of other people out and a lot 2442 02:11:54,760 --> 02:11:57,040 Speaker 1: of other players out. I love to see things like that. 2443 02:11:57,040 --> 02:11:59,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break when we come back. Some 2444 02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:01,840 Speaker 1: more from us on One Bill's Life person by Clyde 2445 02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, it's time for 2446 02:12:19,480 --> 02:12:21,680 Speaker 1: what have we learned? Brought to by Skybris, the official 2447 02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:26,080 Speaker 1: construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. We've been 2448 02:12:26,120 --> 02:12:30,320 Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen and a contract extension for himself. 2449 02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,320 Speaker 1: Could it be a Dak Prescott type of deal or 2450 02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:36,960 Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes type of deal. We're thinking kind of 2451 02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:39,480 Speaker 1: in between. In the middle, I would say, is what 2452 02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:42,800 Speaker 1: we learned today something that's team friendly but it also 2453 02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:45,640 Speaker 1: works for Josh. Yeah. I don't know that. I don't 2454 02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:47,920 Speaker 1: know if most people in our Twitter poll it's seventy 2455 02:12:47,920 --> 02:12:50,600 Speaker 1: percent of him said Pat Mahomes deal, only thirty percent 2456 02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:52,840 Speaker 1: said Dak Prescott for you, So I think most people 2457 02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,200 Speaker 1: are betting with their hearts. Thing, and let's get him 2458 02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:57,800 Speaker 1: a lifetime contract. Let's let Josh play for as long 2459 02:12:57,800 --> 02:13:00,000 Speaker 1: as he wants as a bill, pay him what it takes, 2460 02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:04,920 Speaker 1: and let's go on. I'm okay with that. I know this. 2461 02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:07,000 Speaker 1: It is going to get done. I don't know when, 2462 02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:10,400 Speaker 1: but it'll get done.
