Speaker 1: smack dab in the heart of the Farmer's Market. There

Speaker 1: Barbecue having the best barbecue you've ever had.
Speaker 2: But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 3: It's good listeners, Here comes kt Fun tweets with the round.
Speaker 1: Now let's come around the sports kt fun tweets as.
Speaker 4: All the sports yees.
Speaker 3: So, after the super Bowl happens in early February, the
Speaker 3: NFL goes quiet for a little bit.
Speaker 4: But this is going to be a big seven days.
Speaker 3: Okay, The Combine happened last week, a lot of rumors,
Speaker 3: media fights, things like that, And the free agency is
Speaker 3: next week like next Mondays, and the free agency tampering
Speaker 3: period starts and where the Cowboys usually sit there with
Speaker 3: their hands and their laps and watch everyone else do stuff.
Speaker 2: What a great tradition.
Speaker 3: The big news from the Combine this week is one
Speaker 3: of your division rivals, The Washington Commandos traded a fifth
Speaker 3: round pick to the forty nine Ers for Deebo Samuel
Speaker 3: Divo's could play.
Speaker 1: Right, this good good player, game changing, elite offensive player
Speaker 1: went healthy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like the Anthony Davis football like here's ky.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a guy you game playing around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you know the Commanders will enjoy his
Speaker 3: eleven games this year like I I but twenty one
Speaker 3: million dollars for a fifth Roundred's this is the Amari
Speaker 3: Cooper trade, is what this is. But the immediate reaction,
Speaker 3: and my immediate thought was, wait, didn't we trade a
Speaker 3: fourth for Mingo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan Mingo, fourth round pick for him? When in
Speaker 1: it's since you know, would be the twelfth pick of
Speaker 1: the fourth round, a good fourth round pick, A guy
Speaker 1: that got here and did nothing like was barely involved
Speaker 1: at all. And I'm like, wait, now, going into this draft,
Speaker 1: you know a second wide receiver is one of the
Speaker 1: top needs for the team, and you just used a
Speaker 1: fourth round pick on a guy you didn't even play.
Speaker 1: And I saw this online earlier today on social media
Speaker 1: and it was the Great Bobby Belt at the Fan
Speaker 1: and somebody had sent us a clip of him saying
Speaker 1: that he thought the Mingo situation was created tension between
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy, where Jerry's like, I used
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, play this guy, you know, don't
Speaker 1: make us look bad by not playing him, and McCarthy
Speaker 1: either didn't like being told what to do or he
Speaker 1: didn't think he could play. We don't really know, but
Speaker 1: Mingo was barely involved, and so yes, on the surface,
Speaker 1: I see this and I think Jonathan Mingo, who the
Speaker 1: hell is that he sucks?
Speaker 4: And then I hear Deebo Samuel.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, game changing, elite player, even worse pick
Speaker 1: and you got him.
Speaker 4: Why couldn't we have done that?
Speaker 2: Isn't there a great irony too? That wasn't there a
Speaker 2: lot of I don't know, consternation from McCarthy about the
Speaker 2: fourth round pick for Trey Lance, Like, wouldn't he like
Speaker 2: no one consulted me on that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, well the story was that Jerry did that
Speaker 3: on his own, right, Yeah, and then Jerry was kind
Speaker 3: of the story here is that Jerry did this on
Speaker 3: his own.
Speaker 2: I want to see Lamba mingo, now get out there.
Speaker 4: Macarthy is interesting. I don't know. Uh, Mike was probably
Speaker 4: fed up. I also think.
Speaker 3: Mike thought he was gonna get another good NFL job. Otherwise,
Speaker 3: I don't think he walks away from that. I don't
Speaker 3: think there's any way that he walks away from this.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if his agent give him some bad advice
Speaker 3: or whatever happened.
Speaker 2: That whole thing. That whole thing though, it's like you
Speaker 2: look at it and you go, okay, he wouldn't accept
Speaker 2: a three year extension. He would only accept four. Dude,
Speaker 2: it ain't a three year extension. It's an eight year tenure.
Speaker 2: You were already here for five.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't get the logic in that that's just
Speaker 2: like walking away for money, But I get it. He
Speaker 2: thought he was gonna go to Chicago or New Orleans
Speaker 2: or whatever. Didn't he take his name out of the
Speaker 2: New Orleans running He did?
Speaker 3: And everyone did besides Kellen. Yeah, I mean Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 3: did because it's bad. It's bad place. They have no
Speaker 3: salary cap room because Sean Payton, you know, destroyed their
Speaker 3: cap And Aaron Glenn, who got the Jets job, was like,
Speaker 3: if you fire the GM, I'll take the job.
Speaker 4: Like Kellen's like, oh yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: Kellen hired former Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Lenahan today just
Speaker 3: to a consultant on the offensive side of the ball, go, oh.
Speaker 4: It's word.
Speaker 3: It's a deadline for the franchise tag is tomorrow. Where
Speaker 3: what this means is you can't agree to a contract,
Speaker 3: so you put this stamp on a player and then
Speaker 3: you pay them money. Oh so Dicky zoo Waz this
Speaker 3: year's candidate. The Cowboys have been negotiating with him, trying
Speaker 3: to get a three or four year contract done, and
Speaker 3: he's probably like the twelfth to fifteenth best defensive tackle
Speaker 3: in football, which sounds weird, but he is, and that's
Speaker 3: what he would be paid at if you know what
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are trying to get him at, and if
Speaker 3: his team and it's like, well, they want to haggle,
Speaker 3: then they can do that and it might be a
Speaker 3: smart thing to do because the Cowboys haven't till tomorrow
Speaker 3: to put a franchise tag on him, which they are
Speaker 3: going to do. If they don't get a deal done tonight,
Speaker 3: then you can still sign a deal. After you franchise
Speaker 3: tag someone, you have time to do the deal.
Speaker 2: Why don't they do the transition tag because they think
Speaker 2: someone's going to give him big money and they're stuck
Speaker 2: with that deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically yeah, and this would be twenty five million
Speaker 3: dollars for one year.
Speaker 2: How bad are the rest of their tackles and linebackers
Speaker 2: if they have a top fifteen guy and still can't
Speaker 2: get any pressure up the middle or stop the run?
Speaker 3: You know, I answer your question with the question, outside
Speaker 3: of Mazzie Smith, can you name the other defensive tackles? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the problem, right, that pick, that missing
Speaker 1: that first round pick on Mazzi.
Speaker 2: That hurts so bad.
Speaker 1: That hurts so bad to miss on an early, early
Speaker 1: pick like that and to have that guy be a bust.
Speaker 1: And now because you missed on that pick and you
Speaker 1: just don't have depth there, and because the emphasis now
Speaker 1: is the three technique right that, that badass tackle is
Speaker 1: going to be massively important. You've got a top twelve,
Speaker 1: top fifteen one. You have to overpay to keep him.
Speaker 1: You have no choice. Where else can you go get
Speaker 1: that if you don't overpay for him right now?
Speaker 4: You can't. You can you can build.
Speaker 3: You can build it up with you know, minimum guys
Speaker 3: in free agency.
Speaker 2: But this is the draft good at that that position.
Speaker 3: The draft is very good at that position. So you
Speaker 3: know you could do something, You could do something there.
Speaker 3: I think they got other needs. I think if you
Speaker 3: could go into it with Mazi and O says your
Speaker 3: defensive tackle and then work on a deal with Micah,
Speaker 3: then I think you're fine, Like you're okay there and
Speaker 3: you're gonna want to get someone else. We need to
Speaker 3: find out Tank Lawrence is going to retire if he's
Speaker 3: gonna go somewhere else, he's a free agent.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get a homeboy back. Who's the other dude
Speaker 2: that we lost early?
Speaker 4: Sam Williams. Yes, you're going to need him to play.
Speaker 2: He's gonna replace Tank, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they would love to have Tank back,
Speaker 3: but I don't know how much he would cost either.
Speaker 4: I cannot see him.
Speaker 2: You know, I could see him taking less to stay here.
Speaker 4: Oh cool, gotta be great, just because I know.
Speaker 2: He loves it here and he's been here for so
Speaker 2: long now. I feel like I could also just see
Speaker 2: him retiring. You know, he's had a lot of injuries.
Speaker 3: I think offensive line is really good right there at
Speaker 3: that twelve area. I think that's a really good spot
Speaker 3: if you're gonna try to have replace Zach just like that,
Speaker 3: I think. God.
Speaker 1: I hope they trade back. I hope they get additional
Speaker 1: picks because that's what they need. And again, where you
Speaker 1: started this conversation, trading a fourth for Mingo skin brought
Speaker 1: up Trey Lance. Trade a fourth for Trey Lance? You
Speaker 1: can't when you don't use free agency and you're not
Speaker 1: great at drafting. They have been pretty good, they've been
Speaker 1: pretty bad of late though. You just need more picks.
Speaker 1: It's a numbers game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, empty assets equals full ass kicked.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I like that, and that's something that I've been making
Speaker 3: T shirts of. So that's just a new slogan I've
Speaker 3: been in marketing.
Speaker 2: You should go sell those. At the Sloan Conference.
Speaker 3: I had not seen this the Cowboys at the Come
Speaker 3: I met with a ton of running backs and there
Speaker 3: are a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, the running backs are good, all right.
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen anyone say this, but John Mishoda did
Speaker 3: right that. This is just John from the Athletic that
Speaker 3: Ashton Gent the big best running back in the draft
Speaker 3: from Boise State. He said, is it's sounding more likely
Speaker 3: they will go in a different direction. This is considered
Speaker 3: a strong running backs class, targeting one in the second
Speaker 3: or third round.
Speaker 4: It seems like better bet than Gent at twelve.
Speaker 2: Good good. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: Like i'd I'd be excited to get him because he's
Speaker 1: such a dynamic player.
Speaker 4: But it's and it's sexy.
Speaker 2: Probably not the smartest.
Speaker 1: Thing to do.
Speaker 2: I think, like you know, Ben wants to trade back,
Speaker 2: but obviously there's got to be a reason for teams
Speaker 2: to trade up. Do you think he's that kind of guy?
Speaker 2: Do you think, like in other words, dynamic running backs matter.
Speaker 2: The running back in general has been diminished, and I
Speaker 2: get that, but a dynamic running back matters. Beijon matters, obviously,
Speaker 2: Saquon matters.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, he says you're right and.
Speaker 2: So, but I'm trying to think of a reason. Like
Speaker 2: someone sitting there at nineteen is like, man, that guy
Speaker 2: would make you there's the other guy. Yes, he's the
Speaker 2: guy right outside of a quarterback that you trade up that.
Speaker 3: Maybe you trade up for. I think this is one
Speaker 3: that would just we slip by all the time. If
Speaker 3: you were to go play a game right now. Jordan
Speaker 3: Lewis is a free agent. Treylon digs out till what October? No, man, Okay,
Speaker 3: do you have one cornerback on your team right now?
Speaker 3: Ron Bland, maybe Kylin Carson who you you know they
Speaker 3: liked a lot last year and he proved that he
Speaker 3: was a rookie not ready for the you know, to
Speaker 3: play a lot.
Speaker 4: Did they need a cornerback?
Speaker 2: Keep Jordan, they need a wide receiver, keep Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 2: I feel like mingo will be fine.
Speaker 4: Jordan Lewis might be like, I need ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: Then you're like, okay, Mingo showed us he can do
Speaker 2: a good job looking slow when he's out there.
Speaker 4: It's tough. They got a lot of stuff they gotta
Speaker 4: they gotta do.
Speaker 2: I want him to put on seventy five pounds and
Speaker 2: become a tight end.
Speaker 1: They are happy with their tight end class. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go. Really, here's their starting tight end, Ferky. I
Speaker 1: thought they had to sign him and he now. Ferky's back. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Ferky and Scooney, you're good.
Speaker 2: Ferky's the one who peed himself on stage right, yes,
Speaker 2: at the black eyed piece.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, there you have it. There's a Round
Speaker 1: the Sports coming up next. The only segment of the
Speaker 1: day that shout to be podcasted. You must listen live.
Speaker 1: It's the Today Game.
