1
00:00:02,439 --> 00:00:05,639
Speaker 1: What is going on, bad rouge. Hope everybody's having a

2
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:10,359
great day today, I should say, what's going on Louisiana.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,880
Wherever you are listening to that, I hope you're having

4
00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:16,320
a great day today. We're out here in the wild

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,120
chilly a little bit. It's a nice, cool March morning

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,559
today probably going to turn into an absolutely stunning day

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,960
for golf. And we are here at U Club for

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:36,759
the U High Golf Tournament. So I miss you, Elandra

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,640
and Taylor. It sucks, you know, I got one day

10
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:40,640
back together for we're back on the road. But thank

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,280
you for holding him down back in the studio. Shout

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,079
out to her guy bo Wegman getting everything up and

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,759
running here. Good to go, bright and early in the morning. Uh, Jake,

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560
we got a ton to get to on today's show.

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,479
The NFL news cycle was non stop yesterday. The New

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Orleans Saints kind of do we nothing but at the

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,760
end of the day sneaking in at least one move

18
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:10,920
that we will get into. There's again, we could do

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,480
an entire show on an NFL free agency. I think

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,519
we kind of hit on every story a little bit.

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,799
I do want to kind of preview the SEC very

22
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:21,439
lightly as well later in the show. As we begin

23
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:26,480
conference play this week in ten weeks of competition, which,

24
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,400
by the way, you know we're always pushing for a

25
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:34,239
ninth SEC game. Yeah, I want twelve SEC baseball weeks.

26
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:37,040
I want to get rid of two of the preseason weeks.

27
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,319
I know coaches won't be into it. I know nobody

28
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,480
would our excuse me, I know that coaches would not.

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,480
I don't know about administrators because I don't know what

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,040
financially that looks like for most schools. But selfishly, as

31
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:50,840
a fan, I want to move to twelve weeks because

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,159
ten is not enough for how much fun those two

33
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:55,159
and a half months are.

34
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,359
Speaker 2: I could say at least eleven for sure. Something about

35
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,480
eleven's is too you No, it matches each other.

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: No, the thirty three games compared to thirty six, like

37
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:06,840
it's I don't know. I think I gotta go twelve.

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: But I was thinking at least eleven because like, did

39
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:11,680
you really need to see last weekend?

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,439
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying you like, it's kind of got

41
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,039
a cupcake game sort of feel. We're like, all right,

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,960
let's let's go ahead. We've been edging long enough. I'm

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,159
ready for conference play, and here we sit on the

44
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:27,560
edge of it, so we will break it down. Of course.

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,439
We got a coach Kim Maulki Tuesday aight thirty, like

46
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,520
we always do. We got Nick Underreil Tuesday at nine

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,599
like we always do. We got a Taytay NFL story

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,159
of the day day medieval times is in the document

49
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:42,599
as well. So it's going to be a great day

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,719
to day. How you feel in Jakie? Uh? Not great?

51
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: You know why you cold? Cause? No, Well, maybe we'll

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,240
see the first thing right there.

53
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Now I know I was gonna mess with you and

54
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,879
actually start the show there. Well we might as well.

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,719
Kyle Hughes Chick fullback fe eight year Niner, which sounds

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,680
weird to say that. That's it feels like it's longer.

57
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:08,960
T eight years is a long time, damn in a decade.

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,360
But I don't know, I'm just always I felt like

59
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:13,879
Kyle us Chick's always been a Niner. Forget he was

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360
a raven in some way. Yeah, I definitely forgot that.

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,599
I had no idea, but Kyle's used Chick released by

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,919
the San Francisco forty nine ers, and it's a bit

63
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,879
like when the final White rhino died, and that you

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,479
know that this species is now extinct, never to come back.

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,439
The glory days are behind it. By the way, guys,

66
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,560
I don't actually think white rhinos are extinct, but you

67
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,319
get the point. He's a bit of a white rhino

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,680
and now he's a free agent.

69
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not great. It's not great.

70
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Bob saw the news, didn't know what to do with it.

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Pour one out for your homie. He is the standard,

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,719
he's the guy. He's the one you kind of like. Yeah,

73
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:56,240
but there's use check. He's still there. You know, he's

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,159
still out there. Twenty one personnel making the Pro Bowl. Ye,

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,439
this this is not a good sign for the fullbacks. Gosh,

76
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:09,400
you have like what TEA two three, maybe that most

77
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,960
fans would know as quite.

78
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,639
Speaker 1: Oh that they would know. Yeah, I don't know that

79
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,360
I can name one Alex Armas still playing for anybody.

80
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:21,319
I'm just trying to think about hold Saints fullbacks that

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,680
have rotated through recently. I don't know, I mean, name one,

82
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,519
name one until see if I know. I mean recard

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,519
for the uh. I'm sure Taylor and Jordan would with

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
all their vast and deep fantasy knowledge.

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,879
Speaker 3: I think of all the former Saint fullbacks Burton. Mmm,

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,519
is that a made up nat it with a lack

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,279
of U with a lack of conviction there, Yeah to you,

88
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,319
I don't I don't know that I can say one

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,839
that I know you you would know.

90
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a tough day pouring up for the fullbacks.

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,680
But do you I mean, I don't know. Do you

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,199
think the Niners try to replace him?

93
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: So?

94
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,519
Speaker 3: Apparently I read an article, not that I was concerned

95
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:08,279
about it, uh that they're going from twenty one personnel

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,920
heavy to twelve personnel what and bringing in another title

97
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:19,240
ultimate Betrayal? Yeah yeah, wow, wow, wow times they are

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,120
ever changed and.

99
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: Gathery of full backs whatever? Well, because.

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: That you would know before we get out of here.

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I doubt it, but good luck. I

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,360
I wish you, uh, I wish you the best, am

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,240
I Timothy Shallame. Guys, should I have done that movie?

104
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,160
I don't know. You know, people are talking about it.

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: I can go for the Dolphins. Did he just sign

106
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:48,839
a big contract two years ago?

107
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

108
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, and a little.

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Bit a tickling of sorts perhaps if you will.

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: That's just sad.

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: What would you do? Is you chicken at land anywhere.

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,160
He said he still wants to play, So yeah, I

113
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,800
think you will. I don't know. I don't know how

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
many teams actually still run twenty one personnel Denver does

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,639
maybe saddle.

116
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:16,439
Speaker 1: Bringing him in there with Koobiac Cup there could that

117
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,079
could potentially be one would you think?

118
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,079
Speaker 2: What would would you be kind? I mean Harball might

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,319
Oh that's true?

120
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:24,399
Speaker 1: Oh man, how about that? There you go, you're too

121
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:27,560
large unit. Would you become a Saints fan if the

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,920
same signed Kyle us Chick?

123
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: Uh?

124
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: No, man, I mean that is my number one team,

125
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,439
Like I still root for the Saints if they're not

126
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:36,319
playing the Chargers.

127
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:42,439
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's spin the NFL wheel and then we'll

128
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,680
get into it from a Saints perspective yesterday. But I

129
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000
think one of the reasons why I want to go

130
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,399
through some of these other moves is because yesterday was

131
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:54,879
a day filled with a lot of excitement for a

132
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,639
lot of fan bases, and then others like the Saints

133
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,519
and the cow Boys, maybe not so much. And I

134
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,120
want to start with one that might trigger Saint Sam's

135
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,959
a little bit because it's going to show you, really,

136
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:17,279
I believe how increasingly poor the Derek Carr contract continues

137
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920
to age, and that's the Josh Allen deal. The Josh

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,199
Allen deal is interesting Jake, because it sounds massive. Six years,

139
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:29,040
three hundred and thirty million dollars, two hundred and fifty

140
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,199
million dollars guaranteed. He breaks to Sean Watson's two hundred

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,319
and thirty million record. I mean, the numbers that we're

142
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,199
dealing with, guys. At a certain point, it's like the

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,680
old stalling quote right one Deska tragedy of millions of

144
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,319
statistic Like these numbers don't mean anything anymore. It's insane

145
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,399
that we now sit at a time when I'm just like, oh, yeah,

146
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,600
this quarterback is getting two hundred fifty million dollars guarantee.

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,759
That's a quarter of a billion dollars, guys, And yet

148
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,319
here I'm going to tell you that it's a hometown discount.

149
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,439
He's like, well, how how is that possible? Well, it's

150
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800
fifty five million dollars a year. But the thing you

151
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,600
have to look at is not just the raw annual value,

152
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:11,680
which I mean, to be fair, he was fourteenth in

153
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,720
annual value in quarterbacks in the league before this. Now

154
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:18,959
he is second. But the bigger deal is what percentage

155
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,639
of the cap does he represent at the time of signing.

156
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360
And that's where it becomes interesting because with that massive

157
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:30,560
cap jump that the NFL just had, Josh Allen only

158
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,440
accounts for nineteen percent of the current cap. That is

159
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:38,639
thirteenth among active quarterbacks at the time of signing. For instance,

160
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:41,200
when Joe Burrow signed, it was twenty four percent of

161
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,080
the cap, When Jordan Love signed, it was twenty four

162
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,519
percent of the cap. When Derek Carr signed it was

163
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:50,960
seventeen percent of the cap. So Josh Allen essentially signed

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,120
for two more percent. Then you signed Derek Carr for which,

165
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,639
as we said yesterday, you are going to go to

166
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,159
the exact same Rigama role that you did this offseason

167
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,039
with him next offseason, as that contract is going to

168
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,320
be in albatross around your neck once again if you

169
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,960
try to get out from underneath it. And so you

170
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,559
have Derek Carr here, Josh Allen here nineteen percent. What

171
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:18,960
has Josh Allen done. Well, He's accounted for two hundred

172
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,919
and sixty touchdowns passing and rushing in his career. That

173
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,120
is the most in the first seven seasons in NFL history.

174
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:28,720
That is twenty nine more tuds than Patrick Mahomes, who

175
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:32,320
is second on that list. He's accounted for forty touchdowns

176
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240
five straight years in a row. That's an NFL record.

177
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,320
No one else has even done at four straight. In fact,

178
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Aaron Rodgers is the most ever with six seasons in total.

179
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,559
So here you have Josh Allen literally playing in an

180
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,200
NFL all time best level, and yet he was allotted

181
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,200
the same portion of the cap that the New Orleans

182
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,759
Saints gave Derek Carr. Yeah, turn the oof meter all

183
00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:00,399
the way up on that one, boys, Oh my.

184
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,279
Speaker 2: Gosh, Like when you lay it out like that, it's

185
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,759
even more sad. Uh.

186
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: Look, Josh Allen is somebody that I know a lot

187
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,960
of people still want him to win in the postseason.

188
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,879
I've been critical of him in the postseason, but I

189
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:12,519
mean the way he played this year is certainly not

190
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,080
his fault.

191
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: Why they didn't move on.

192
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: He's got a little bit of a Damn Marino feel

193
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:21,000
to him, right Oh yeah, go, I kicked myself off.

194
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,320
Uh Damn Reno feel to him right now, just because

195
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,039
I mean Dan Marino, you know, in the eighties and

196
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:27,759
early nineties, he's you know, setting every record you can

197
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:29,960
through the air, and they just they couldn't get over

198
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,440
that hump. They got to the Super Bowl early in

199
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,320
his career but never got back. So it's got a

200
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559
little bit of that field to his career. But that's like, look,

201
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,759
that's something you'll pay for because he still gives you

202
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,919
an opportunity. He still gives you a chance. And so like,

203
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,159
his lack of winning a Super Bowl is not going

204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,840
to hold me back from you know, changing my opinion

205
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,559
on him. I was like asking for more. He gave

206
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:52,039
us more.

207
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what you just laid out there with what.

208
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: He didn't have around him this year, Like he did

209
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,399
not have stars in their prime this year. No, I

210
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,480
think about like Amari Cooper at the very end of

211
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,840
his career, is what he had he's had. You know,

212
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:09,759
Dalton king Kaid's a nice tiight end. He's certainly not

213
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,960
a game changer. I mean, they had a nice run

214
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960
game with Cook, but he wasn't out there throwing to

215
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,000
a lot of the same guys that the other top

216
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,080
quarterbacks are throwing to. And he's still man. He put

217
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,960
his team on his back and almost got him to

218
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,879
a Super Bowl. So the deal's well worth it. But

219
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:26,720
then when you lay it out like that with who's

220
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,559
surrounding him as far as the percentage of the cab

221
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,919
gody that makes it sad well and I mean you

222
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,720
and and it's Josh Allen Like it's again, if you

223
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,279
get hooked on maybe the raw numbers, you're gonna be

224
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,279
saying that, Oh.

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know he's he's like I guess some

226
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,799
would run the temptation of okay, you can't get over

227
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:49,600
the playoff hump. But is he Is he willing to

228
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:51,559
is he willing to take a discount? Is he willing

229
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,399
to help the team build?

230
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 4: Well?

231
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Actually, yes, the answer is yes. He the bills that

232
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,519
managed us in a way in which he can both

233
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,919
get paid and not take up an extraordinary amount of

234
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:06,320
the cap going forward. Also, this idea that you can't

235
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,240
win a Super Bowl we painted quarterback is one that

236
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:10,720
we continue to see kind of fall flat on its

237
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,759
face in recent times. Right In fact, I was thinking

238
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:17,799
about this yesterday because you see the commanders going in,

239
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,759
going all in right now on Jayden Daniels. And it

240
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:26,600
makes sense, right because when you give an NFL GM

241
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,519
a great quarterback on a rookie deal, that's the equivalent

242
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,720
of sending them to Goodwood. Okay, they are ready for

243
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,360
action whenever and wherever. They can trade twice in a

244
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,320
row without even resting in between. That's how excited the

245
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:45,279
comedies are right now. But he got me thinking, how

246
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,279
many of these rookie deal quarterbacks, Jake have actually ended

247
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,480
up winning the Super Bowl? And it's not a lot.

248
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,759
Recently there was Russell Wilson. Yeah what thirteen? Yeah, and

249
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,879
then everybody's coming, Oh, this is the only way to

250
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:02,919
do it, but no one else did it besides maybe

251
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Patrick Mahomes.

252
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

253
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,519
Speaker 1: But then he continued, Brady by accident. Yeah, but that's

254
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:10,120
what I'm saying. You got to go back even even

255
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,919
even even further. Oh you mean Brady in in in

256
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Tampa or no, New England, Like he.

257
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:18,159
Speaker 3: Won on a rookie deal, but they didn't know that

258
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,559
because they had bloodsoe, so their money was still tied

259
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,720
up into a quarter I mean.

260
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,039
Speaker 1: Maybe you could say the win Snick Foles Eagle combination

261
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:28,320
year a little bit, even though that's such an odd

262
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,120
year in many different ways. Uh, But outside of that,

263
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:34,399
you've seen Patrick Rummes get paid they win, Jalen Hurts

264
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,879
get paid they win. So this Josh Allen deal is

265
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,080
a A plus deal from the Buffalo Bills that will

266
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,240
not hamper them, that will not hamstring them, and will

267
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,840
allow them to try to be as competitive as possible

268
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:49,320
in the future, whereas, again, the Derek Carr deal is

269
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,240
an abject disaster in many ways, even though I'm relying

270
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600
on Coach Tieth to maybe prove us wrong here and

271
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,639
get the most out of Derek Carr.

272
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Coach Tief.

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,919
Speaker 1: That's what the internet is calling Kellen Moore due to

274
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,679
those big old choppers he's got on display every time

275
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,279
he talks. I stole that from uh Saints Twitter. To

276
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,320
be clear, I don't know who originally said it, but

277
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,279
it's funny as hell.

278
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess I knew as soon as

279
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,720
you did say it who you were talking about. He

280
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:24,200
does have some uh some large teeth.

281
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Somebody yesterday tweeting coach Thief's just uh, you know, I

282
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,320
think expressing some displeasure. Say, it's looking like coach Tief

283
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,879
is just Dennis Allen with bigger teeth. Now now again,

284
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,200
we'll see, We'll see. Okay, that's not completely fair to

285
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:38,679
Kellen Moore. We kind of knew what Dennis Allen was

286
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,399
when he was hired and he proved to be that.

287
00:14:40,519 --> 00:14:45,639
We still don't know what Kellen Moore is going to be. Uh. Now,

288
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:47,360
let's do this. Let's go to break. When we get back,

289
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:49,159
we can talk about a couple of moves that these

290
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:52,639
Saints did make and what it means for your guy,

291
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:56,200
Brandon Staley that defense, as well as a million other

292
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:59,759

00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,119
just looking at the paper resume.

335
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

336
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,839
Speaker 1: We get to know every potential employee during the in

337
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,240
person onboarding process every morning over a cup of coffee.

338
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:21,000
So you want solutions to your issues? You want to

339
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:24,480
transfer top talent on your payroll quickly? Again, No, we

340
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:27,480
are personally vetting them and the are the best. Go

341
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:31,640
to the local guys at Tiger Labor and Staffing. So

342
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:34,599
I mentioned the New Orleans Saints before we get there. Well,

343
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,359
I mentioned thoughts and prayers to all the fan bases

344
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,799
who did nothing yesterday, Because no NFL segment is complete

345
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,799
without talking about the Cowboys. A fun fact from the

346
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,200
br Bleach Report Gridiron Instagram.

347
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: The last time the.

348
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys signed a free agent for more than six million

349
00:17:55,079 --> 00:18:01,480
dollars a year was twenty fifteen, and it was crag Hardy.

350
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:05,599
That's right. It has been a decade since the Cowboys

351
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:08,319
have done anything in free agency. The salary cap in

352
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,240
the interim decade has increased by one hundred and thirty

353
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:17,119
six million dollars. Now on the Roam Show, I said

354
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,279
that I thought that Jerry was playing a bit of

355
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,039
possum here.

356
00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Yea.

357
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: You know, methinks the lady doth protest too much when

358
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,319
he was say we're not gonna do anything, We're not

359
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,880
gonna do anything, thinking he had something big up his sleeve.

360
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,759
I don't think that's right. I think I'm already very

361
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:35,240
wrong on that. Because this is a weaker free agent class.

362
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:38,119
It's one of the reasons why you see teams re

363
00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:40,960
signing guys to bigger deals than you would have expected.

364
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,920
We'll get to one with these Saints maybe in a

365
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,480
a second. And really all the big names are kind

366
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,680
of off the board, like there's not too many big

367
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:53,240
names out there the Cowboys could sign that would make

368
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:59,000
a big splash, and so missed shot there. Tata, How

369
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:04,519
are we feeling about about your boys going into this

370
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,400
next portion of the NFL offseason?

371
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: Pretty much like I do every off season. Disappointed but

372
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,759
not surprised, pointed but not surprised.

373
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is Sarah. I mean, I think

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,200
Saint Sam's are in a very similar vein And speaking

375
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,960
of moves that the Saints made or didn't make yesterday,

376
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,119
they lose Pulse in a Deebo signs a three year,

377
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,240
fifty four million dollar deal with the Giants, which you know,

378
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,079
I mean, I don't know, I'm not I'm not too

379
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,640
pressed about that. I think a Deebo's been good. But

380
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,839
do you are you in a position right now where

381
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,880
you could pay Pulse in a deebo eighteen million dollars

382
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,160
a year. You still got a lot of Teke Taylor,

383
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,559
You still got kool Aid McKinstry, like, that's one of

384
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:50,880
the reasons why you drafted kool Aid. So, uh sure,

385
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,039
it's not ideal, but I think you got out priced there.

386
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,599
One guy you did re sign yesterday, and really it

387
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,359
was probably the biggest piece of as news, maybe even

388
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,359
more so than Devon Godshaw. Uh is you re sign

389
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:09,079
Chase Young to a three year, fifty one million dollar deal?

390
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:11,680
Sack Concientives can put you in fifty seven. It's a

391
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,160
seventeen million dollars signing bonus. It sounds like a big

392
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,440
number the average annual value though Jake has him as

393
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,799
the seventeenth highest paid edge defender, And I guess the

394
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,839
question immediately becomes do you think that move is worth it.

395
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,440
Five and a half sacks last year not that.

396
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: Good, which is sixtieth in the NFL.

397
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: However, you're wondering he did have forty seven pressures, which

398
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,720
was seventh in the NFL. So it this sack number

399
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:48,599
maybe not telling the the whole story. But to me, Jake,

400
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:53,200
this is simply a deal where the cowboys making fun

401
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,559
of me. The Saint look that it's it's kind of

402
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:58,839
a desperate mode. You have so many holes on the roster,

403
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,640
you're trying to plug them wherever you can. And even

404
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,359
though you, let's say you arguably overpaid a bit, like

405
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:10,759
what's the other option? Do you let young walk? And

406
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,039
then what do you have? What do you have coming

407
00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:18,000
off the edge? Granderson Jordan, I mean, you're not getting

408
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,480
anything out of Fosky, so like you already need pass

409
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:24,839
rushing help. I don't think that you can afford to

410
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,279
let the guy who was seventh in the NFL and

411
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,960
pressures out of the building. Now now, I think obviously

412
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,079
you're gonna need more production. You need more of those

413
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,279
pressures to get home next week. So you hope that

414
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:37,839
Brandon Staley can take advantage of that brand, He said,

415
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,480
almost doesn't count. Yeah, yeah, but but again but like

416
00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:44,680
do you do you but would you have let Young walk?

417
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,839
Because then I feel like you're overall in a worse spot.

418
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: All right, So I do think this is too much

419
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:51,839
money for Chase Young, But I do understand what you're

420
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,680
saying about where you're at, who you could have brought

421
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,039
in because of where you're at, just with the resources

422
00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:02,000
you have available. The only thing if I'm trying to

423
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:04,000
beat glass half full, because I got to be honest,

424
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,200
when I saw this, I didn't.

425
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: Love any part of it. I mean, he only forced

426
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,519
one fumble, you.

427
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: Mentioned the five and a half sacks, only twenty one

428
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:14,839
solo tackles, so that there's not a lot there to

429
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,319
be overly excited about outside of the pressures. But in

430
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,519
a Brandon Stay defense, you do have to have versatile

431
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:26,519
defensive linemen. You have to be able to count on

432
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,720
the front four getting home like you have to.

433
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: It is a part of what his defense is.

434
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: He's not He'll show pressure, but he's not going to

435
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,680
bring pressure, and so you have to have defensive linemen

436
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:38,799
that you can count on.

437
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,799
Speaker 2: And that's why you see the first.

438
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: Day of really the first couple of days and all

439
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,240
the movement around the Saints has been really strictly on

440
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:50,000
the defensive line. Yeah, you've traded for some, you've re

441
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,200
signed some, and that's because they understand what Brandon and

442
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,240
Staley's defense is all about. And so in their mind

443
00:22:57,279 --> 00:22:59,000
they're like, all right, well we can be versatile with

444
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Chase Young Cam Jordan.

445
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: You know, depending on what happens, he can kick inside.

446
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,359
We've seen him do that.

447
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:08,279
Speaker 3: And so they're just trying to stockpile all these defensive

448
00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:10,599
linemen that they feel like can do different things. But

449
00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:14,720
just know that if you're in that defense, you have

450
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:18,079
to be superman. You do like the front four of

451
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,359
a Brandon Stalely defensive line or front three with two

452
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,599
outside backers, it turns into a five man front. They

453
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:27,400
have to go above and beyond because you're not going

454
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,880
to get pressure from other places.

455
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: And it looks like they're trying to give Staley some

456
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:36,960
of the pieces Davon Godchow we talked about yesterday, kind

457
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,720
of the the centerpiece of a lot of these moves,

458
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:43,319
giving you that kind of three four nos. And again,

459
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,720
Godha has always been an interesting three four nos because

460
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,759
he's not your like giant space sater a lla Evince

461
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,960
will Fork, But honestly, it's something he's been doing since college.

462
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,519
Even in that Dave Randa system back in the day.

463
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:58,079
He was an undersized guy they put there because he

464
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,880
couldn't be blocked one with the sinner, so try. I mean,

465
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,039
so look, Kellen Moore and and and granted, all of

466
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:10,720
this speaks to the continued hamstringing of building this roster

467
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,880
thanks to cap management and all the mistakes and whatnot

468
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,839
that Mickey Lewis and the crew have made up to

469
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,400
this point. Uh, because you're you're, you're just you're having

470
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,680
to do what you can. And so that's why you

471
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,519
end up signing Chase Young. You're you're you bring in

472
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:30,920
a guy like Godshaw, who is again not not not

473
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,720
a world beater, but solid. It's it's an improvement there

474
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720
to a new defensive coordinator that's going to want that

475
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:43,079
position to improve. I don't know that any of it.

476
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:48,240
Here's the deal. Uh, maybe it makes you slightly better,

477
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,720
but how much is eventually the question, And a lot

478
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,119
of that's just gonna come down to, Like, it just

479
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,799
feels weird. It feels like this new staff is going

480
00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:03,720
to you have to prove that the coaches were a

481
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:06,680
lot of the problem last season because they're going to

482
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:10,359
have a lot, if not almost all, of the same pieces,

483
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,799
and yet they're going to be expected to do more

484
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,839
with said pieces.

485
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: And so you look at you know, re signing Nathan Shephard,

486
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:20,799
got y'all trade, like we're talking about like all these

487
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:22,640
moves are kind of pointing to what we're talking about

488
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,319
building the defensive line because you know you need them.

489
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:27,960
But also, like, what does this say about Brian Brazi? Yeah,

490
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,880
how you view him in your future plans? You spend

491
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,680
a first round pick on him, right, I know it's

492
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,559
a back end of the first round, but you still

493
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:37,920
like you had a resource into him as a player.

494
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:41,920
Do we feel like the new staff watch the tape

495
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,599
and you know, look, they know who the player is.

496
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,680
I mean, nobody in the league goes into a job

497
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,000
where they don't know the players. They obviously know him.

498
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,599
I'm sure they did a deep dive whenever he was

499
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,039
coming out. It just kind of tells me that they

500
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,240
don't love where he's at in his development.

501
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's fair to say. He's

502
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:04,480
certainly someone that flashes but is not good against the run,

503
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:08,200
which is something he's gonna be relied upon to improve

504
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,440
vastly at and well the past.

505
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: Us gets him.

506
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,319
Speaker 1: Sometimes he still could be better in that regard as well.

507
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:18,759
Now you could also say that, look for Calmore took

508
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:20,400
the job, the thing that he talked about, and think

509
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,400
that every coach does. You know, it all starts up front.

510
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,319
And look at the success we utter the Eagles because

511
00:26:24,319 --> 00:26:27,640
the offensive and the defensive lines. And so this is

512
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,279
a a commitment to that theory. But again, the guys

513
00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:36,039
you have are not the guys that you had when

514
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,319
you were in Philly when you look at just the

515
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,960
the the the all stars that they had all over

516
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,759
that defensive front, all over that offensive front. And so

517
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,039
maybe this uh who knows, Maybe this TEAMU, O line

518
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:51,559
and D line that the Saints are going to be

519
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:54,640
putting on the field this fall, maybe these coaches can

520
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:57,640
get more out of them. But I think objectively, you

521
00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:00,799
look at yesterday, You look at the teams, like the

522
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:05,279
Commanders who are out there celebrating, the Steelers who are

523
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:10,640
out there celebrating you. I mean, even the Rams making

524
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,559
some interesting moves. Like you look all around and other

525
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,759
fan bases have things that cheer about and get better about.

526
00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:19,200
I think the Saints are firmly in the category of

527
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,640
fan bases that kind of felt like they were just

528
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,119
sitting on their hands yesterday and not a lot of

529
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,799
excitement to be gained.

530
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again it's all kind of going to one

531
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,519
position group and so maybe they can branch out and

532
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,160
I know, you reset one of your receivers, but that's

533
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,480
not gonna be a lead story either. But at least

534
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,599
they're identifying like what they need within a new scheme, right,

535
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,640
because there's sometimes when they haven't done that. And Brian

536
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Berzi sold somebody that's like twenty three years old, and

537
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:54,240
he showed a lot of promise like early in the season,

538
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,119
but finished the season four games did not have a sack.

539
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,440
So he had seven and a half in the first

540
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,440
thirteen games. And you're thinking you maybe turn that corner.

541
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000
But I mean, you're right about the run defense portion

542
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200
of it. But uh, there's not going to be a

543
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,519
signing that the Saints make that's going to be as

544
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,799
exciting as what some of these other teams are doing.

545
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:15,680
That's why you're in cap You're in cap hell, and

546
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,319
you know you can't make those moves and so at

547
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,359
least they are making moves to try to solidify some

548
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,880
of the changes with the new coaches that they're bringing on.

549
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: It's really all they can do right now.

550
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: Like, if you're a Saints fan and you're wanting to

551
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:31,960
get excited, you're probably going to have to wait minus

552
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,400
the probably to the end of April in the NFL

553
00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:36,200
Draft and hope that they don't screw that up.

554
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

555
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Which there's a lot of smoke around maybe the

556
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,599
Saints going quarterback now in the draft whatever though you

557
00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:46,559
could you could write stories about the Saint quyn anywhere

558
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:50,519
in the draft. But yeah, April now, exactly like Jake said,

559
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:54,480
your attention's kind of now firmly to April. Any potential

560
00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:55,680
excitement that that could bring.

561
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

562
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,519
Speaker 1: For what this is worth, the Saints are now under

563
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,519
the salary cap as Carl Granderson, Caesar Rees and Kaal

564
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,799
and Sanders all restructure their contracts. They have about thirteen

565
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:11,240
million dollars in cap space. There could be some more

566
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:14,519
moves made, but basically all of the kind of simple

567
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,519
restructure voidable deals kick the can moves are now in

568
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,000
the barn. Like those moves are done and they are

569
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,279
under the cap for whatever that's worth, which is unfortunately

570
00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:27,680
kind of not much.

571
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,839
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this, Paulson Diebo signs with

572
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,720
the Giants basically for what you signed Chase Young for.

573
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,440
Which player next season would you have rather had under

574
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:39,680
the three year, fifty plus million dollar deal.

575
00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,039
Speaker 1: I think I think probably Chase Young. I think I

576
00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:46,480
think I think d line means more to this team,

577
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:51,279
because again, you still have resources in those other areas, Like, Okay,

578
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:53,440
you lose a debo, but you still have Alante Taylor,

579
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,000
you still have kool Aid. You lose Chase Young, and

580
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,960
who do you have left? There is no one that

581
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,799
he's playing ahead of that you feel good about playing. Like,

582
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,640
even if you think that Chase Young underperformed, who do

583
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,839
you feel is on that roster there that will performer

584
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,119
perform as well as Street? Yeah, exactly right, exactly the.

585
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: First and second rounder.

586
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:19,119
Speaker 1: The backups are not made the same in that regard,

587
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,799
So we don't cry. Yeah, basically all right, when we

588
00:30:24,839 --> 00:30:26,880
get back here on off the bench, let's go back

589
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,680
to some of these other NFL moves.

590
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,799
Speaker 2: There's a ton to get into.

591
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: We still got our SEC baseball talk coming up this

620
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:53,359
stuff mixed in off the bench with Hester and t Bomb?

621
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: All right, what's happening to you all?

622
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to OTB. We are going through some of

623
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,599
the NFL moves from yesterday. Maybe one of the funnier

624
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,039
moves is the Miles Garrett saga. As Miles Garrett say, look,

625
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:09,720
I don't care about money, I don't care about Canton.

626
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,480
I care about championships. And I've given eight years of

627
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,920
my life to Cleveland and we are in a worse

628
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,599
spot than we even were when I got here. I

629
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:22,359
demand to be traded. I'm willing to miss games to

630
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:26,119
be traded. And the Brown say no, We're absolutely not

631
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:28,079
trading you. And he was said, well, okay, let me

632
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:30,200
talk to HASLM. Haslm says no, I'm not even gonna

633
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,279
meet with you. Talk to the GM. And at this

634
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,119
point I thought for sure that Miles Garrett would would

635
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,359
would would take this thing, this game of chicken, all

636
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,480
the way right, and he'd be willing to sit out

637
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,599
and reilling to force his way out. However, you can

638
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,599
say it's not about the money, and it's kind of

639
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,200
one of those situations where okay, it wasn't until it was.

640
00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:55,960
And then the Cleveland brown say, okay, Miles, well what

641
00:32:56,119 --> 00:33:00,720
if we made you the highest paid non QUARTERBACKFL history?

642
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:05,160
And we did it by a wide margin, as Max

643
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Crosby just eclipped Justin Jefferson with that title, getting thirty

644
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,240
five million dollars a year, only for Miles Garrett to

645
00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:17,599
now have a contract worth forty million dollars a year,

646
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,759
and all of a sudden, Miles is back in that's right,

647
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:27,039
staying in Cleveland at least another four years. It would

648
00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:30,839
look like and here's the Lol Browns fact of the day.

649
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,680
The Cleveland Browns. Who again, guys, if you think the

650
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,200
Saints are bad, they're worse. The Cleveland Browns come the

651
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,759
first team in NFL history with two players on the

652
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,640
roster making forty million dollars or more per season.

653
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,559
Speaker 3: Oh good, yeah, I translated to what three or four

654
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:49,599
wins exactly mean?

655
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Hey, how could you not invest.

656
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,799
Speaker 3: It is wild, like some of the comments that he had,

657
00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:56,920
It's like, no, if we make it the highest pay

658
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,880
not quarterback, ever, I bet you love being a Cleveland Brown.

659
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,960
Like I ain't mad at him either, I mean dollars

660
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,599
per year, But my god, what is the plan for

661
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,480
the Browns?

662
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean, cause that's that's the thing, right, That's like

663
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:12,800
where people are talking about do you take a do

664
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,000
you take Abdul Carter or do you take a quarterback?

665
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,960
And objectively, Carter's better than the quarterbacks. But I just

666
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:25,639
keep looking at the Cleveland example where it's like, Okay,

667
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,480
you took Miles Garrett first overall and he has been

668
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,079
as good as a first overall pick, could possibly be

669
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,239
a five time All Pro back to back Randon Fensive

670
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Player of the Year, and you got nothing. So it's

671
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,599
almost like I feel like, because not all positions are

672
00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:42,719
created equally, even if you don't fully believe that, if

673
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,599
you have a chance to take QB one, you almost

674
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:49,519
have to take QB one. But otherwise well, but then again,

675
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:51,320
I guess the count argument there would be, well, it's

676
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,320
the Browns, and not all teams would have wasted Miles

677
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Garrett in the same way. Taite, What do you think

678
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,480
this does for Micah Parson. You're looking forward to to

679
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,440
battling with that Miles Garrett contract.

680
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday.

681
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 5: It just seems like anytime an NFL team like waits

682
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,280
to pay their superstar, they wind up costing themselves so

683
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,800
much more money. You're better off just getting it done now.

684
00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:18,960
They should have done this last year before they got

685
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,360
the CD deal done, because Jamar Chase is still not

686
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:21,800
paid yet.

687
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: They could have.

688
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 5: Paid CD now Jamar still makes more than him. It's

689
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,559
not I mean, it's not looking good because they just

690
00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:32,280
gave a defensive tackle an eighty one million dollar contract.

691
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,559
And I mean, yeah, they have fifty six million dollars

692
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,920
worth of the cap space, but are they gonna use it.

693
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't know, I don't.

694
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 5: I don't know what the long term future Michael Parsons

695
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,320
is well.

696
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 2: And I think you hit on a great point, Tatay.

697
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons why Roseman and the

698
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,760
Eagles have been so good is instead of chasing the market,

699
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,440
they set the market and then let everything else fall

700
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:57,480
where it may. Right. They did it with Zach bond.

701
00:35:57,559 --> 00:36:00,159
They said it would say kwon Barkley and now they

702
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:02,800
don't have to work like like Jamar Chase's price just

703
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,519
probably went up because of this, right because he's gonna

704
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:08,679
want to be the highest paid non quarterback.

705
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,639
Speaker 2: In the NFL and a half.

706
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:14,119
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson's price probably just went up after the Crosby

707
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,039
and Miles Garrett deal. So again, I'm with you, man,

708
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,679
getting ahead kind of taking the initiative is the ideal

709
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,480
way to do it, even if you feel like you

710
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:26,800
may be overpaying in the short term. If you wait

711
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,000
too long, you're gonna end up overpaying in the long term.

712
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:36,280
Uh was the dk Metcalf move actually the biggest move yesterday?

713
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,800
I mean, you got Geno Smith, you got Sam Donald,

714
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,199
you got in.

715
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: A lot of others.

716
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 3: How about like, how about Sam Donald and Baker Mayfield

717
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,960
both getting new contracts that are over one hundred million

718
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,280
dollars when they were both on the Panthers a couple

719
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,360
of years ago and everybody was clowning the Panthers. Sure,

720
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,960
having Sam Donald and Baker Mayfield again.

721
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: It shows you that the actual organizations here matter just

722
00:37:01,559 --> 00:37:04,639
as much as the players. It's a reason why I

723
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,199
can't help but look at the Justin Fields to the

724
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,559
Jets signing and laugh because the Jets have been god awful.

725
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,519
Speaker 2: Like here's let's say.

726
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,599
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, which people may argue with, but let's say

727
00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:19,320
Mark Sanchez is the last good Jets quarterback. Since that moment,

728
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:22,840
you've had Gino Smith, Michael Vick, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bryce Petty,

729
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,519
Josh McCown, Sam Darnold, Joe Flaggo, Zach Wilson, Mike White,

730
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:29,360
Trevor Sitting, and Tim Boyle and Aaron Rodgers all Star games.

731
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:33,960
And you're gonna tell you that Justin Fields that hasn't

732
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,599
done anything, that he's gonna be the guy that's like suddenly,

733
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:41,159
it's it's it's it's a double negative. Two bad things

734
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:43,280
are gonna make a positive. I just I don't I

735
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,760
don't see it. So, yeah, the the organizations are a

736
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,960
big piece of that. But that's probably why the Metcalf

737
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:54,840
news is the biggest to me, because the Steelers already

738
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,159
one of the more competent and maybe the most like

739
00:37:57,519 --> 00:38:01,559
competent organization in the NFL one of certainly, and although

740
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:03,920
they don't technically know who their quarterback is going to be,

741
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,920
whoever it is is now better for having DK Metcalf

742
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,639
regardless of what ends up happening with George Pickens or whatnot.

743
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see if they run it back and try

744
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,360
to bring rust back. I mean justin field to somebody

745
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,719
that I think could have found a home that was

746
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,440
a little bit better as far as offensively the scheme

747
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:23,440
and what he does well and what it's trying to

748
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,760
get done. But sure, Jets just keep on trying to

749
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,760
find who your quarterback's going to be. I just don't

750
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,920
love the fit there. But for the Steelers, the offense

751
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,679
is gonna look different now. Naji Harris now with the

752
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,360
Chargers and so like that was a guy that you

753
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:41,039
always was one of the league leaders in carries. Are

754
00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:45,599
they trying to maybe get away from strictly running the football?

755
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:48,159
I mean they got an offenseive coordinator that loves to

756
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,719
run the football. Like, but getting rid of Naji Harris, Like,

757
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,719
what is the offense going to be? What is the

758
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,679
identity going to be? Now you have two receivers that

759
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,159
are going to want targets, They're going to want their catches.

760
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only time will tell. And Arthur Smith is

761
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,360
the guy in charge of it. All which maybe feels

762
00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:11,119
not like it feels like statistically you maybe won't get

763
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:14,000
some of the seasons that you're hoping for. Jake on

764
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,079
the way out here, was it due to you, as

765
00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:19,239
a longtime NFL player to see Justin Fields sign for

766
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,440
thirty million dollars guaranteed, two years, forty million, thirty million

767
00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:27,639
guaranteed and he hadn't done anything?

768
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know in the NFL. It's a fair question.

769
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 3: But I've become numb to that a long time ago,

770
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,800
Like I always say, it was you know, I'd be

771
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,360
somebody that started five of my six years and the

772
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,920
fourth receiver on the team who had like eleven career

773
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,440
catches would be making double what I was making.

774
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,199
Speaker 2: So like you just gotta have to get used to it.

775
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 3: Are the tenth guy on NBA bench who nobody knows,

776
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,559
not even like the core fans of his team know

777
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:57,440
he's making like nine million a year, right, And so

778
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,280
in football is way more po popular than the NBA.

779
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,760
But it's something you have to get used to, like

780
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,159
I said, a little numb to it because it happens

781
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,440
literally all the time.

782
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:09,480

00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:34,559
living all right. LSU on the recruiting trail just locked

830
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:38,239
up a visit with one of the nation's top cornerbacks,

831
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,639
Haveyn Finny so Kat out of California. He was the

832
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,239
number two cornerback in the twenty twenty seven class. He

833
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:51,480
reclassified to twenty twenty six. He is a four star consensus.

834
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:54,079
Rivals has him as a five star if you care

835
00:42:54,119 --> 00:42:58,679
about such things, for whatever that's worth. And Finny after reclassifying,

836
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,079
now ranks is thirteen quarterback in that twenty sixth class.

837
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:04,480
But LSU is locked up a visit. He'll be on

838
00:43:04,559 --> 00:43:07,320
campus in late June for an official. He took an

839
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,280
unofficial to Batan Rouge in April. He's visited USC, Oregon.

840
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:14,480
You're competing with A and M Tennessee, Texas the other

841
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:18,440
aforementioned schools as well, and check this out. Jake on

842
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:23,119
three gives you a fifty eight percent chance of signing

843
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:29,559
Haven Finney. How in the world do you arrive at

844
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:33,559
a fifty eight percent chance? I don't know, you know,

845
00:43:33,639 --> 00:43:36,199
it's funny and my score book, I had it scored

846
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,840
as a fifty three, So hearing that it's fifty eight

847
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,000
makes me a bit more bullish on Finny as it

848
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:46,039
looks like he might be fittin me come here fitting

849
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:49,440
a finnam Fittna com or something there.

850
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, look at fifty eight.

851
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:54,599
Speaker 1: Look Corey Ravens landed five stars out of Cali before

852
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,039
at Corner obviously Eli Rix back in twenty twenty. Maybe

853
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:02,159
Corey can and do it again. Now, for what it's worth,

854
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:06,400
that LSU twenty twenty six class looking good, even though

855
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,199
to're early third in the nation. And if you were

856
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,559
to lock up Fitty in that boat, well, it would

857
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,840
it would It would just increase.

858
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,639
Speaker 3: That Yeah, I mean you got one last year obviously,

859
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:18,880
a five star and picket. So like you're wanting to

860
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:21,760
add more of those type of players to your roster

861
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,360
through high school recruiting. And it's a position group that

862
00:44:25,519 --> 00:44:28,159
really since this current staff has been there, they've had

863
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,760
to piece together through the portal.

864
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:30,599
Speaker 2: Now with good players.

865
00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they like piece together with bad players,

866
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,639
but you do want to build that foundation back where

867
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:38,199
you can be very selective if you want to add

868
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,400
a corner or a safety through the portal. You don't

869
00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:43,639
have to add. They had to add over the last

870
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,960
three four seasons at that position. So the foundation. If

871
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,079
you can get that back right, which this sounds like

872
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:51,360
a player that could do that, that's the most important thing,

873
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,519
all right, Coming.

874
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Up next hour here on OTB, we got SEC Baseball,

875
00:44:56,079 --> 00:45:00,320
we got OTB mailbag, we got coach Ken Maulkey. Keep

876
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,920
it locked right here on off the bench, off the bench,
