So 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,380 If you don't know and if you haven't heard the news 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:41,720 Eagles receiver Devontae Smith has inked a three-year 75 million dollar deal of 51 million of that is guaranteed 9 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,760 33.9 of that money is guaranteed at signing 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Which on average he will be making about 25 million a year now 11 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,200 Quick points for Devontae Smith so far. He has had two 1,000 yards 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240 See 1,000 yard receiving seasons 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,720 He's been targeted over a hundred times since entering into the league and according to next-gen stats 14 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880 He had a 72.32 cash percentage 15 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:14,500 Last season so you're talking about a player who is productive and 16 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,400 Has a very pivotal role within the Eagles offense when defenses want to try the double team 17 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,140 AJ Brown who who's the main person that's going to get open Devontae Smith and so 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,040 You know, this this isn't a long-term deal. This is a you know a deal for basically 19 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,040 Three years, you know, that's that that's not really bad by the time that deal was over with 20 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,080 He'll still be in his prime which then he can be up and get another contract 21 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,720 Which you know always want players to get paid now for the other person who got a bag alert 22 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,040 defensive tackle the forest Buckner for the Colts 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,440 Signed a two-year 46 million dollar 24 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:03,960 extension with the 18 million dollar signing bonus which makes him the fifth highest paid defensive tackle in the league right now now 25 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,480 Since 2017 he has created 44 sacks when lined up at defensive tackle 26 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,760 Which is the fourth most in the NFL according to ESPN's analytics and NFL next-gen stats 27 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,040 Also since 2020 he has the fourth highest double team rate as defensive tackle at 65% 28 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,820 When you talk about a player who has been productive since leaving the 49ers 29 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,040 It's the forest buck the forest Buckner has continued to show 30 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:41,280 Why he is a top five defensive tackle in the league even when he's getting double double team and triple team 31 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:49,160 He is still getting to the quarterback folks still getting to the quarterback and he is the anchor for that defensive line 32 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,640 Honestly speaking here doesn't have a whole lot of talent. I mean they do have quity paid 33 00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:01,760 But really haven't seen a whole lot of production with him lately. Maybe a change. I don't know. I'm not a magician 34 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,280 But um, you know congrats to the both of them on receiving a bag alert now 35 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,200 Let's get to some trade talk folks because there is a particular player that a lot of people have been talking about 36 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200 And there's been a lot of conflicting reports 37 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Most of them have been false reports some of them have been credible pores, but we're gonna deep we're gonna deep dive into it now 38 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,120 49ers receiver Brandon IEWIC 39 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:30,800 Right now is in contract talks with the 49ers and in doing so 40 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,300 Things are starting to look a little bit murky now 41 00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:39,540 Apparently there have been reports coming out that the Steelers have been the main 42 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:46,460 Team that has been very persistent in trying to make a trade of for brand now you now 43 00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:48,980 We're gonna have to 44 00:03:49,060 --> 00:03:56,820 Dissect this like a surgeon. So I already have my knife already have my scalpel. Let's get into it. So with Brandon IEWIC 45 00:03:56,820 --> 00:04:04,540 He plays a very pivotal role on the 49ers offense has been very very very productive 46 00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:12,820 Within the last two years. He had a 71.43 catch percentage last season a hundred and five targets 47 00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:20,240 He has two one thousand yard seasons in the last two years and his market value right now would be a four-year 48 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,680 99.8 million dollar deal, which would make him the fifth highest pay receiver. However 49 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,140 With the with the situation that the 49ers are in right now 50 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,400 They probably won't be able to pay that type of money to a Brandon IEWIC 51 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,240 Simply because they have all of these big contracts on their books 52 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:48,160 Right and so when you when you are a playoff caliber team like the 49ers 53 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,000 somebody is gonna have to get the low end of the totem pole, right and 54 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Sometimes, you know, they'll they'll try to attempt to maybe try to add more money 55 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:07,520 But at the end of the day the player, you know, ultimately makes a decision on if he wants to sign the deal or not sign the deal now 56 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,800 With that being said 57 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240 We we have to be honest here folks 58 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Brandon IEWIC is in a situation right now where he cannot demand 59 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,640 more money than Deebo Samuel and the reason why I say that is because 60 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,160 You he isn't better than Deebo Samuel 61 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,600 He's just not I'm sorry. I don't care what anyone says Brandon IEWIC is not better than Deebo Samuel 62 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Even even when a hurt Deebo Samuel is still more productive and still more dangerous 63 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:47,800 than Brandon IEWIC, okay, not to mention Brandon IEWIC is in a situation where 64 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,680 you have two choices and 65 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,560 One of these choices, you know, it the other one is it's gonna be a sacrifice basically 66 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,480 Either you take less and you stay on the team that you're on and then you go possibly win a Super Bowl and then, you know 67 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,680 Maybe maybe they'll they'll be in a situation where they could probably, you know, tack more money onto his deal 68 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,040 Or they can be in a situation where you know 69 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,520 He leverages his way out and he gets traded to a crappy team 70 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240 But he gets the bag and the 49ers win the Super Bowl 71 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,960 Those are the two extremes at this point because whether whether we want to admit it or not and 72 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400 This is that this is the God and honest truth here 73 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:37,800 It's gonna look weird for Brandon IEWIC to be making more money than what Deebo Samuel was making 74 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,000 Even though Deebo Samuel is the guy in the receiving room. That's gonna look weird 75 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880 That's gonna cause friction within the locker room, which 76 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,960 Ultimately, you know, Deebo Samuel might might ask for trades and or my ask for more money 77 00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:01,480 Tackle his contract simply because hey y'all just pay him that much money and I know he's not better than me 78 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,120 So that's sort of the the line that the 49ers 79 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,040 You know are sort of teetering on at this point and it also doesn't help that 80 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:18,240 You know, there are teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, unfortunately and the Buffalo Bills who need a 81 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,400 who need a receiver and so, you know, it's it's a very it's a very 82 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,240 Sensitive situation only because if you trade for someone like a Brandon IEWIC 83 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,040 You're gonna have to make them top five highest pay. He's not gonna want to you know 84 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Maybe we'll talk about at the end of the season. No, he wants his money up front. He wants to talk about money 85 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,080 He wants to stand on business. That's what he want to do. He wants stand on business and 86 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:57,200 Sometimes when you stand on business it comes it comes with a price and sometimes that price is 87 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,560 You get shipped to a crappy team. That's not gonna go to the playoffs 88 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,400 That's going through rebuild and now, you know, although you you got paid 89 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760 You're not gonna go anywhere 90 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,240 Meanwhile, your other team, you know, they could possibly win a Super Bowl. They could you know 91 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,800 Go on a run and win two Super Bowl three Super Bowl's whatever the case may be 92 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,560 So that is the the the problem in this situation because 93 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,680 You know, if you're a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers, why would you trade for someone like a Brandon IEWIC? 94 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,080 especially when the receiver class is as 95 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,240 Diverse and as big as as it is 96 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,440 That doesn't make any sense 97 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,000 Especially when you have, you know, very pressing needs on both sides of the ball 98 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,160 You don't even have a starting center on the team right now and to any person that says 99 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,120 Well, not here we could could play center. No 100 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,880 No, we can't because if he if he was to play center, he should have started playing center 101 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,880 late last season or 102 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,840 Better yet, they shouldn't have just cut Mason Cole. They should have just kept Mason Cole for another year 103 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,300 Drafted a center so then they can just sit under him and learn from him and then you make the transition 104 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Instead of being in a situation where now you have this pressing need at center and you haven't you haven't even 105 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,840 Brought in a death piece. You haven't even signed anybody for a center. You haven't 106 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,120 Meanwhile, you have players like a Brian Allen, a Connor Williams 107 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:37,560 And you know, there's there's probably a few other centers that you could possibly sign right now and that could you know, that's another 108 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,360 That's another position that you really don't have to worry about as much 109 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:49,680 But making a trade for Brandon IEWIC. You already know the 49ers are gonna want a first round pick 110 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:54,600 They're gonna want your first round pick and you need your first round pick. It'll be different 111 00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:01,560 If a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers if they didn't have as many holes on their team 112 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,320 If they didn't have as many holes on their team, then it's like, okay, cool 113 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,240 You can make this trade, you know, see what happens 114 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:14,000 If you make it to play off school if you don't whatever this is but this is another draft 115 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,280 Where again your first four picks have to hit 116 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:27,120 They have to be starters and they have to be productive starters and if they're not that's gonna set the team back another year 117 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,000 another two or three years if we're being real here 118 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,360 so 119 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:39,280 Trying to be this, you know super aggressive team that's trying to go after receiver who is about to get his first contract 120 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,560 That's redundant 121 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:46,920 It is it'll be different if Brandon IEWIC had already had his first deal 122 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,920 He's looking for a second one or he's looking to tacked on more guaranteed money with his first deal 123 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,880 Then it's like, okay, cool. You can make that type of move 124 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:01,480 You know, you know lower the cap hit and create more cap and you know, what whatever else may be 125 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,200 but he's looking for money and 126 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:12,080 You already have players that pretty soon you're gonna have to pay so what does that look like you shelling all 127 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,480 Of that money to Brandon IEWIC when pretty soon you're gonna have to pay nausea Harris 128 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,000 You're gonna have to pay Pat farm move. You're gonna have to pay Jayla Warren 129 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,880 You're gonna have to pay George Pickens soon 130 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,200 You have to figure out what you have what you're gonna do with Cameron Haver 131 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,280 You have to figure out what you're gonna do with a landing Roberts 132 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,280 You got to figure out what you got to do with 133 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Cameron Haver and you got to figure out what you're gonna do with TJ Y 134 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:43,280 That's almost eight players right there that you have to figure out what are you going to do? 135 00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:47,400 Are you gonna pay them or you extend them or you trade them or you cut them? 136 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Are you gonna just let them walk and let them test free agency? 137 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,840 Those are the decisions that you have to make not to mention you also have to figure out what you're gonna do with James Daniels 138 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,160 Because pretty soon he is gonna be free age as well and Isaac see a mallow 139 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:07,160 So you have all of these pressing needs that you know to some fans is like, you know 140 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,560 Though dressing when they address them. No 141 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Making a type of move like this 142 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,880 Could literally mean 143 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:23,360 Well, not a life or death situation, but it can literally mean either your team makes a crazy run and goes to the AFC championship 144 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,360 maybe even a Super Bowl or 145 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,980 it flops and now you're basically 25 to 146 00:12:29,980 --> 00:12:35,500 30 million dollars in a hole with it with a receiver and now you're probably gonna have to let a 147 00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:38,740 Productive player walk 148 00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:42,260 That's the situation it is and so 149 00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:49,980 For all the fans for all the fellow junkies out there who say, you know, they're their particular team should go after 150 00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:55,300 Someone like a brand-new. I want you to look. I want you to look up his his value 151 00:12:55,300 --> 00:13:00,540 I want you to look at his mark his market value as I said earlier on to this podcast 152 00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:03,500 But I'm gonna say this again according to spot rack 153 00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:08,380 His market value right now would be a four year 154 00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:18,060 99.8 million dollar deal. That's almost 25 million dollars a year. He would be the fifth highest paid receiver 155 00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:20,660 That's a lot of money 156 00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:22,660 that's a lot of money and 157 00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:24,660 You you would be 158 00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:32,340 You know in a in a category with receivers such as the Monte Adams Tyreek Hill AJ Brown 159 00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:36,860 DK Metcalf Cooper Cup. Can you honestly speaking? 160 00:13:37,340 --> 00:13:43,540 Say that Brandon IE is better than a Cooper Cup a DK Metcalf 161 00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:48,620 A AJ Brown a Tyreek Hill or the Monte Adams. Can you really say that? 162 00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:54,140 I can't even on their worst seasons. They can have a bad 163 00:13:54,140 --> 00:13:56,140 Well, I'm talking about just a horrible season 164 00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:00,820 they can still put up more numbers than what Brandon IE could do and 165 00:14:01,420 --> 00:14:06,380 You know for for anybody out there. I don't want to make it seem like I'm a brand-new care 166 00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:12,140 I'm always pro player, you know getting getting paid and whatnot, but to a certain extent 167 00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:18,780 When when you are trying to get paid there was a way that you have to move in 168 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:23,360 order to get in order to secure the bag you can't just you know 169 00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:27,580 Sort of have a temper tantrum like how Brandon IU gets having right now 170 00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:34,780 Thinking that you know, it's gonna speed up the process. It's not it's not you unfollowing the 49ers 171 00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:39,460 You deleting all the pictures that you have on your Instagram and other social media accounts 172 00:14:39,460 --> 00:14:44,540 You may be taking 49ers out of your bio. That is not gonna make them move any faster 173 00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:50,500 It is not honestly speaking it might actually make them rethink their decision 174 00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:54,780 It may be rescind the offer that they currently have on the table. So 175 00:14:55,340 --> 00:14:57,340 You have to be careful 176 00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:04,860 Because if you don't be careful, they will ship you to a team and will not think twice about it 177 00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:11,260 Nothing twice about it. They won't factor in, you know, how you may feel about it or whatnot. They'll just ship you off 178 00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:15,100 Nothing twice about it. They don't care the the compensation one not they just want you gone 179 00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:20,260 And it doesn't help again that this is a big receiver class 180 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:27,540 So I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle Shanahan probably had a conversation with John Lynch and probably said man forget him 181 00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:31,180 Listen, there's about two or three receivers right now that I'm looking at right now 182 00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:36,980 That could probably just as or maybe even more productive than what Brandon I you it has ever been 183 00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:40,540 Those are the conversations that are that have probably been had 184 00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:47,700 Leading up to the draft. So I say all that to say this brand I you it. I do hope you get paid 185 00:15:49,460 --> 00:15:51,260 Pittsburgh Steelers 186 00:15:51,260 --> 00:15:52,860 Don't make this move 187 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:59,520 You're on a you're on the right track. Well, sort of you're sort of on the right track. Don't derail it for one player 188 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:05,960 But moving on to Cortland Sutton also wanting a deal as well. So 189 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280 With Coral and Sutton, it's a little bit more 190 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,880 complex 191 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,940 Simply because he is a older receiver and he has about two years 192 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:25,520 27.6 million dollars left on his deal now before I go any further when when when you hear that you're thinking 193 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Oh, what is he really complaining about? He still has money left on his deal 194 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,880 No, he doesn't 195 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,240 however 196 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:40,240 2 million of his of his 2024 salary is fully guaranteed while the remaining 25 isn't 197 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,040 So what that means is he is guaranteed 2 million 198 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,840 For the you know for fully guaranteed for this year's salary, but the 25 million 199 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400 He's not guaranteed that at all 200 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,800 So what he is trying to do is he's trying to read up on guaranteed money now 201 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:09,160 If you've never really looked into, you know, NFL player contracts when you know when the news break of you know 202 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,600 Any person signing a crazy deal you have to look at the guarantees 203 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,120 Because the guarantees 204 00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:22,400 That is the money that they are guaranteed to get the minute that they signed their name on that piece of paper 205 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:28,200 That is the money that is guaranteed to them whether they are whether they play do not play injured 206 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,200 Whatever the case may be they are injured the money that is not guaranteed 207 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:40,200 That is the money that a lot of times are you know that are pushed sort of like to the back end of the contract 208 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,840 Most of times they can be incentivized sometimes are not incentivized 209 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,280 It just all depends on the on the structure of the contract now with that being said 210 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:56,360 Coral and son has had has only had one one thousand yard of receiving season 211 00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,920 He has seven hundred and seventy two receiving yards last season 212 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:06,880 He had ninety targets last season and he had a sixty five point fifty six cash percentage 213 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,320 Now I understand the move right now. However 214 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:20,280 It doesn't favor you again simply because this is a big receiver class and 215 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000 You are an older receiver 216 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:30,080 It'll be different if you was still like someone in your prime if he was about maybe 25 26 maybe 27 years old 217 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,080 Then it's like okay cool. You're great 218 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000 but you're entering out of your prime and 219 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,120 so 220 00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:46,000 You know that can that can make a GM a little bit hesitant on wanting to give you a long-term deal simply because 221 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,840 They don't know how you know how how much how many years you have left 222 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:58,360 You know of great production left because at some point you're gonna hit that you're gonna hit that point where 223 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:05,160 You know your production is just gonna fall it's gonna plummet and then that'll be the point where you're probably gonna walk away 224 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,760 And all that different type of stuff so you have to factor in all those different type of things now 225 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:18,800 The problem with the receiver market is that there is a bunch of receivers. We're all looking to get paid 226 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:26,200 Okay, you have Justin Jefferson that pretty soon you're gonna have to he's gonna have to get paid CD Lam's gonna have to get paid 227 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,800 Brand I ui Coral and Sutton like we're talking about right now and Darius late 228 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,480 That's five receivers right there that are looking to get paid 229 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,400 now 230 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,800 Some of them are gonna get paid some of them are not gonna get paid some of them are gonna get big money 231 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,480 Some of them are gonna get small money 232 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,960 It just all depends on where you know on how the chips fall honestly and so 233 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,200 At this point at this juncture Coral and Sutton 234 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,360 The best option is probably to want to get traded 235 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,240 Because I don't think the Broncos are gonna want to pay him the type of money 236 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960 That he probably wants especially 237 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Especially when they when they have to eat 238 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,000 89 million dollar dead cap hit with Russell Wilson. I don't think they're gonna want to do that. I 239 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,080 Just don't personally, but you know, I could be wrong 240 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,240 Again, you know for him. Hopefully he you know, he gets paid well 241 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,160 If he doesn't, you know, you can get traded there. There's a few teams that do need a receiver 242 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:39,500 You know, I mean, you know, you you were productive, you know with I mean with a quarterback last year 243 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000 So, you know 244 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,000 You could you know, maybe come to the Pittsburgh Steelers, maybe, you know 245 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:55,280 Listen Coral in Coral in if you're listening to this come to the Pittsburgh Steelers come to the Pittsburgh Steelers 246 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280 Come on.

Please for this moment 249 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,000 Please as a fan as a podcaster, please Coral and Sutton 250 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,960 Come to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Omar get on the phone and get this man 251 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,760 I need the con artist to get this man 252 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Please Adam a few more a few more maybe about two more years on the remaining part of his deal 253 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:32,680 Little bit more money. Boom. We in there like swimwear now moving on to Daria Slayton. This is a 254 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Really more complex situation simply because of where the Giants are positioned in the draft 255 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,280 So Daria Slayton if you happen if you happen to not know 256 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:52,760 I'm signed a two-year 12.2 million dollar deal last season in his due about 6.2 million in his final year 257 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,680 And so with that being said he is not attending and 258 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,220 voluntarily 259 00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:05,680 Workouts, which you know if he did he would receive a 350,000 dollar bonus 260 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,840 Let's be honest here folks him getting paid 261 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,380 He simply relies on what the Giants are going to do in the draft now 262 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:22,280 You're probably thinking well that doesn't really that shouldn't dictate on if you get on if he gets paid or not 263 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,760 Yes, it does 264 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:30,960 simply because the Giants have a high draft pick and a lot of mock drafts have been mocking them to get 265 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,880 Someone like a Malik neighbors aroma, Dunes a 266 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,320 A Brian Thomas one of those you know high-end receivers 267 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,280 Whereas there's also mocks that are also saying that they might get a quarterback as well 268 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,960 So they're in a situation where depending on what they do in the draft will dictate 269 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,800 You know someone like a Daria Slayton getting paid 270 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,440 Now and I don't want to seem like I'm talking, you know out of the side of my mouth 271 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,480 The problem with this situation is you wanting to get paid 272 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:11,040 But the Giants didn't even pay say quine and say quine was the was the the heart and soul of the offense 273 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,800 They even pay him 274 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:19,840 So I mean if we being real here honestly speaking here if I could have a one-on-one conversation with what Daria Slayton 275 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000 I would say bro if it was me personally 276 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000 I would just play the the the rest of the season out and then just be a free agent 277 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,920 Because at this point if the organization didn't want to play I mean didn't want to pay there 278 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,040 the the heart and soul to their offense a 279 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,560 player who 280 00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:47,040 Has been the most impactful since Odell Beckham, Jr. Why in the world would they pay you think about it? 281 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,760 Why would they want to pay you they overpaid for? 282 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:57,680 Daniel Jones overpaying now. They're realizing the mistake that they made why in the world 283 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,880 They want to pay you top dollar Daria Slayton is in a situation where 284 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Honestly speaking here. It's best if you try to see if they if you can work something out 285 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,480 However, if you cannot work something out 286 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,520 You already know you have two options 287 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:21,520 You can either sit out or you can play and maybe see if you know if you're having a 288 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:28,960 Crazy, you know a crazy start to the season where you can sort of build up your your draft stock and teams will be 289 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,560 Interested in trading for you and then you get traded to another team midseason 290 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,520 That's the position that you're at right now because if you hold out 291 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,740 The Giants are not going to care. They've already shown that they are 292 00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:49,460 Invested into Jalen height. They already showed that there's already mocks that are continuing to show that they're going to draft a receiver 293 00:24:50,140 --> 00:24:54,500 So honestly speaking here like I said before in the beginning part of the episode 294 00:24:54,980 --> 00:25:00,500 You're probably gonna be one of the players who's going to get the bottom end of the totem pole 295 00:25:00,940 --> 00:25:06,580 That's where you are right now. And so, you know, you have to figure out. Do you? 296 00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:10,260 Do you want to continue to do this or do you want to just you know? 297 00:25:11,420 --> 00:25:15,460 Just try to just try to take a risk on yourself come in work out 298 00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:19,860 You know even even if it means you do workouts by yourself on the sideline 299 00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:26,820 Just do that just do that at that point because you just holding out isn't gonna solve anything because 300 00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:33,060 It just won't I'm sorry. It just will not solve anything now 301 00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,300 moving on to 302 00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,300 the scathing 303 00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:41,380 Scathing report that came out yesterday about 304 00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:48,700 former New England's New England Patriot head coach Bill Belichick. So our an article came out yesterday 305 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:51,620 basically detailing 306 00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:56,420 That's Robert Kraft owner of the New England Patriots 307 00:25:56,420 --> 00:26:04,660 I'm sort of intervening in the hiring process for Bill Belichick to be the next head coach for the Atlanta Falcons now 308 00:26:05,140 --> 00:26:12,940 Before we talk about the situation. We have to talk about the history, right? And so few years. Let's go back a few years. So 309 00:26:13,460 --> 00:26:18,260 Bill Belichick is regarded as one of the greatest 310 00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:21,620 head coaches of all time one of the 311 00:26:21,620 --> 00:26:26,980 Most winningest coaches of all time especially in this era 312 00:26:27,660 --> 00:26:33,520 However, the problem with Bill Belichick has always been and this has been documented with books 313 00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:37,740 former interviews with players and whatnot and you know 314 00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:44,420 people that that worked within within the New England Patriots organization is his ego 315 00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:47,220 he is a person that wants control and 316 00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:52,820 You know for the longest time he has had control over the Patriots 317 00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:59,460 He has he has wielded an iron fist with the Patriots for the longest time folks 318 00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:03,100 There there was a period in time where you know 319 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:08,980 He had this philosophy where he would cut a player two years early than to have them two years late 320 00:27:09,260 --> 00:27:15,780 Did it work a few times? Yes, it did but there were situations where it did backfire and 321 00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:19,580 So when you have a head coach who? 322 00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:22,100 You know 323 00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,420 Has has basically put the greatest 324 00:27:26,420 --> 00:27:32,180 Football player of all time and Tom Brady on the spotlight, you know in front of the entire team 325 00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,300 That can rub that can rub people the wrong way 326 00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:44,100 His demeanor how he moves how he operates all of these things, you know has rubbed people the wrong way for the longest time 327 00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:53,780 That's why a lot of players who you know who were on those Super Bowl teams when they come out and they talk about you know 328 00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:57,140 How how tough it is to play for Bill Belichick? 329 00:27:57,340 --> 00:28:01,580 They're not saying these things just to create likes and you know create attention 330 00:28:02,220 --> 00:28:06,060 They're doing this because Bill Belichick demands 331 00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:15,940 Um perfection he demands that you do your job for the longest time his his famous saying was do your damn job 332 00:28:16,180 --> 00:28:19,940 That was his saying do your damn job, okay? 333 00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:22,300 and so 334 00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,300 Bill Belichick is 335 00:28:24,780 --> 00:28:31,780 At a point in his coaching career where he doesn't have as many opportunities as as what he thought he was because 336 00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:36,300 Not only are you getting the coach in Bill Belichick? 337 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:43,100 But you're also will be getting the GM of Bill Belichick because while he was you know with the Patriots 338 00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,820 He also did have some GM power 339 00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:50,140 Along with being the head coach case in point 340 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:56,340 Look at the past three or four drafts, you know that the Patriots have had a lot of those players 341 00:28:56,340 --> 00:29:03,100 He's with on from Mack Jones to the kill Harry to a few other notable players 342 00:29:03,260 --> 00:29:09,660 He's with on them and it's been horrible if we're being honest here his last great draft 343 00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:12,380 was probably 344 00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:16,460 Maybe Derek Barmore. I would probably say in Christian Gonzalez though 345 00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:23,380 Those are probably the last two where it's like wow those are like those are really great, you know really good really great drafts 346 00:29:23,380 --> 00:29:28,180 It was only two. It was only two prospects everybody else. It's 347 00:29:29,780 --> 00:29:35,940 It's slim pickings honestly and so when you have a when you have a coach, you know that 348 00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:38,660 Demands that type of control 349 00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:42,980 it can rub GM's the wrong way it really can and 350 00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:48,500 You know for the people that don't realize in order for a team to be successful 351 00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:51,460 your GM and 352 00:29:51,460 --> 00:29:56,220 And your coach they have to be on the same wavelength now 353 00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:58,980 They don't have to be buddy buddy. They don't have to be best friends 354 00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:05,020 They don't have to you know go over each other's houses for you know for Thanksgiving and for the holidays and whatnot 355 00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:11,460 But they but they have to be on the same mindset that we are trying to win a championship 356 00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:12,420 and 357 00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:14,420 Sometimes when you have a coach 358 00:30:14,580 --> 00:30:19,340 Whose presence is as strong as a Bill Belichick 359 00:30:19,340 --> 00:30:25,980 That can rub people the wrong way that can make people not want to work with you honestly speaking here 360 00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:29,620 And it honestly doesn't help that with the recent 361 00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:33,020 Docu series that's come out called the dynasty 362 00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:38,620 If for for those who haven't watched it you should definitely watch it. It is a great watch 363 00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:44,060 It sort of gives you of the last dance type of lives, but it's a little bit shorter 364 00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:48,020 But it's really good though really really really really good. It's on Apple TV by the way 365 00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:53,340 Not not this isn't sponsored. Just just putting it out there now 366 00:30:53,900 --> 00:30:55,900 Going back to Bill Belichick 367 00:30:56,140 --> 00:30:59,460 during the coaching hires cycle 368 00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:04,900 Bill Belichick really wasn't getting a whole lot of interviews honestly speaking here 369 00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:10,780 The most notable one that a lot of people were definitely sort of attracted to 370 00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,620 Was the Falcons job and the charges job? 371 00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:21,700 There were a lot of people including myself that definitely believed that Bill Belichick was either gonna go to either the Falcons 372 00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:26,820 Chargers or the commanders honestly, but ultimately they decided to go in a different direction 373 00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:33,540 And so here we are now do I personally believe that robbercraft may be maybe probably 374 00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:42,740 Intervened in this, you know in his hiring process. I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be simply because 375 00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:51,740 Robert Krav really hasn't really hasn't had the best relationship with little Belichick may I remind you ladies and gentlemen 376 00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:58,620 This is the same bill Belichick that tried to trade for that tried to trade Tom Brady 377 00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:01,060 When he was winning 378 00:32:01,060 --> 00:32:07,300 Yes, yes, yes, this is documented. You could you could look him up go on Google see for yourself 379 00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:13,140 there was a point in time where the Patriots had just drafted Jimmy Garoppolo and Bill was 380 00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:16,060 head over heels for Jimmy and so 381 00:32:16,660 --> 00:32:22,980 You know there there were rumbling starting starting to surface that Bill was gonna move on from Tom and 382 00:32:23,380 --> 00:32:32,180 Basically have Jimmy, you know carry, you know carry on the torch and so that that angered Tom to the point where Tom went to 383 00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:39,540 Robert Krav since they have a very close relationship and Robert Krav intervened and Robert Krav basically said you're going to trade Jimmy Garoppolo 384 00:32:39,540 --> 00:32:46,700 I'm telling you I am demanding you as the owner as your boss to trade Jimmy Garoppolo 385 00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:52,140 And we're gonna keep Tom Brady and so since then that has angered 386 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:57,100 Bill Belichick and he's probably you know kept that and so 387 00:32:57,540 --> 00:33:00,380 You have to tack that on with you know 388 00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:06,900 GM's and teams they don't want a bill Belichick. They don't they don't want someone who? 389 00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:12,260 You know is gonna want is gonna want their hand in every single little thing 390 00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:19,580 They don't want that they want someone who can kill who can coach the team and you know try to to win as many games possible 391 00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:26,340 And ultimately try to compete for a championship. That's what they want. They don't want someone that you know is 392 00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:32,300 You know as a part-time GM and a full-time coach. They don't want that at this point 393 00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:37,820 Now I will make a prediction though I 394 00:33:38,740 --> 00:33:43,300 Truly believe that Bill Belichick will be the next head coach for the Dallas Cowboys 395 00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:50,380 And I say that because the Cowboys are in a situation where they need a strong force 396 00:33:50,380 --> 00:33:56,820 They need a strong presence within that locker room within that organization that is going to 397 00:33:57,380 --> 00:34:03,460 Create order and the only person I know that can create order the best and has consistently showed it 398 00:34:03,820 --> 00:34:06,660 Despite his recent failures is Bill Belichick 399 00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:11,540 Bill Belichick is gonna clean house. He's gonna bring in his people and 400 00:34:12,180 --> 00:34:20,180 Any player that may not you know that may not like him that mean that may feel offended on how he you know moves and operates 401 00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:23,900 And coaches he'll definitely ship them off. No problem. Only things wise about it 402 00:34:25,060 --> 00:34:28,380 Do I think he probably would go anywhere else? Yes 403 00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:31,860 From what I've seen and in various reports 404 00:34:31,860 --> 00:34:38,580 I've seen that he is interested in coaching for not only the Cowboys, but the Giants and the Eagles 405 00:34:38,980 --> 00:34:40,980 Even even in that situation 406 00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:43,380 That's a little bit more 407 00:34:43,380 --> 00:34:51,740 Complex only because with the Eagles all their money is invested into the offense and not a lot of money is invested into the defense 408 00:34:51,740 --> 00:34:57,860 And so, you know with with Jalen Hertz already already showing signs of regression 409 00:34:57,860 --> 00:35:01,660 How much would he regress under a bill Belichick system? 410 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:08,700 Because a bill Belichick system, you know, it's sort of a run-heavy type of you know situation 411 00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:13,900 And when you have receivers like a J Brown and the Vontae Smith, they're gonna want theirs 412 00:35:14,060 --> 00:35:18,540 So I say all that to say this and this will probably be the last thing that I'll say 413 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:27,620 Bill Belichick is in a is in a phase where he's trying to rebrand himself trying to make it seem like, you know, I'm 414 00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:32,020 Changed I'm more progressive. You know, I'm willing to 415 00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:38,140 Make changes and change how I you know coaching whatnot for the betterment of the team 416 00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:43,860 TEAM as he said in one interview is that going to change the hearts and minds of GM's? 417 00:35:43,860 --> 00:35:47,820 I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see how the chips fall 418 00:35:49,340 --> 00:35:54,460 After this upcoming season do I think Bill Belichick will be a head coach again? Yes 419 00:35:55,540 --> 00:35:57,540 100% simply because 420 00:35:57,540 --> 00:36:05,060 Despite the ego despite, you know, how people may feel about Bill Belichick as the person you cannot 421 00:36:05,260 --> 00:36:12,500 Deny his coaching his coaching is still intact and his defenses when when they have, you know 422 00:36:12,740 --> 00:36:20,420 Effective players is a still a very dangerous defense.
