17
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Prospecting scouting looking to find my next all pro first ballot Hall of Fame player kale. Let's get it

18
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
You

19
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:40,680
All right folks, you know what there's no point in us trying to delete that little trying to you know walk our way into this thing

20
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:47,180
No, we already in the driver's seat seatbelts is locked in key ignition has already been turned buckle up

21
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:51,080
We're going in for it. All right now if you guys do not know

22
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars Tyson Campbell has eight a four-year

23
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:05,080
76.5 million dollar extension to stay with him. He gets 40 he gets 53 excuse me 53.4 million guaranteed

24
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,720
He will be making 19.3 million a year right okay cool now

25
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Just a few things with Tyson Campbell right this past season he had 42 solo tackles one-force fumble one pick five

26
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,360
Past afflictions we look at someone like a Tyson like a Tyson Campbell, right?

27
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:30,000
You're looking at somebody who one is still is still fairly young to it has definitely started to become a

28
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,040
major piece within that secondary and

29
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Three who at this point it's better to lock him up now

30
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:44,260
Then to try to scramble and try to figure out what are you going to do once free agency hits next year, right?

31
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:51,360
I mean, it's not really that big of a that big of a deal honestly. I think it's a fairly pretty good deal

32
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,600
It it doesn't crest, you know, the the top ten highest paid

33
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Cornerback list, but it's like right there. So it's like

34
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,360
He's he's getting paid

35
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,440
But it's not to the point where it's like it's a situation where you know

36
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,360
This contract may hurt them like two or three years down the road. Okay?

37
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Even when you look at the highest paid corners by annual average salary, right?

38
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,280
You have Jaheer Alexander a 21 million Denzel Ward at 20 at 20.1 million J. LaRamsey 20 million Marlon Humphrey

39
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,120
19.5 March on Larmor 19.4 Trevon Diggs 19.4

40
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:35,360
So literally if we can be real here though, those are just those are just the top six now

41
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Tyson Campbell is probably there but at the same time this also sort of paints a picture for future corners that are going to be

42
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,040
You know, you know free agents come next year, right? You have your AJ Turrell's and

43
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,600
Whoever else that you know that may be available as well

44
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,720
Now when you're going to look a little bit down the road into the future when you have someone like a

45
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,800
PS2 or a sauce gardener this sort of you know gives you an idea of like, okay, this is low

46
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,600
This is the high. This is the medium. This is probably how much I'm probably want to be asking for

47
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,440
You know all those different type of things. So, you know congratulations to him now to show the big boys

48
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,040
Love man because we love our tackles. We love our offensive linemen here, right?

49
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Left tackle for the Vikings Christian Derisaw, right?

50
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,480
ain't a four-year

51
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,840
113 million dollar deal

52
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240
77 million of that is guaranteed

53
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,280
43.7 million is guaranteed at Simon. He'll be making

54
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,840
28.25 million a year

55
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Now when we break this down here folks Christian Derisaw has been an anchor on that offensive line

56
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Okay, he he is in that group of

57
00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Young and up young and up and coming tackles who you know have been very productive since coming into the league, right?

58
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,240
He's in that group with Penae Suel

59
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:12,600
And Tristan Werffson whatnot. He's in that group because he has you know, he has consistently been

60
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,920
One of the best young tackles

61
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:23,320
In the league, right? You're talking about somebody who you know is definitely a focal piece for that offense and an

62
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,720
Offense where you know, it's still fairly young, right? You have a quarterback who's on the rookie deal

63
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,680
The biggest contract on the entire team's roster is only Justin Jefferson

64
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,640
It's the biggest deal and then under that is probably now Christian Derisaw

65
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:46,360
So I say all that to say this the Vikings are following the the recipe which is you build around

66
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,720
The quarterback your rookie quarterback within that period where you don't have to pay them

67
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,800
So that by the time it gets to you know to to talk about contracts and whatnot. Guess what?

68
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,680
The office is already established. It's already went throughs its highs and lows already went through, you know

69
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,800
You know a draft player, you know probably didn't do well someone getting traded someone getting moved

70
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,440
You know various different types of things, right? And then not to mention the Vikings, you know

71
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Their top priorities aside from you know getting their future quarterback was also making sure that they you know paid their left tackle

72
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,720
As well as the star receiver because both of them pay both of them play a very pivotal role on that offense

73
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,680
And when they are not on the field they are that that offense is just it's not the best, right?

74
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,000
And so, you know, how does this affect future tackle, you know deals?

75
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,180
I don't know especially for someone like Tristan Werves who you know, he's still looking for money as well

76
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:56,440
So it's a matter of okay, is he probably gonna want more money than Christian D'Aresal?

77
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Is he gonna want more money than you know?

78
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Pineso, well, what what exactly is Tristan Werves looking for? Okay?

79
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,840
I think that's the million dollar question in all of this right now now

80
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:16,820
Moving on to other things because we have a lot to talk about okay, but first before we get to the rent

81
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:21,800
I'll let I think we do have to talk about Hassan Redick just a little bit now

82
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,640
When we look at the Hassan Redick situation right Hassan Redick, you know since being traded from the Eagles to the Jets

83
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,160
Basically has been holding out because he wants a new deal rightfully so no problem with that. However

84
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360
There really hasn't been a lot of communication

85
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,200
As far as you know, what exactly is Hassan Redick's number?

86
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:49,860
Why are the Jets not willing to pay him is there you know what exactly is going on right and so you know

87
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,440
The the Giants I mean other Giants

88
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Excuse me because I was watching hard knocks before before I started recording the Jets GM is in a situation where

89
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,120
You have to figure out exactly. What do you want to do with with Hassan Redick at this point?

90
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,640
because he's probably looking for top dollar money and you realize that you know

91
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,640
this this

92
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:20,420
Not the roster, but the the the contracts are starting to pile up just a little bit right you have Aaron Rodgers

93
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,860
Deal you have Quinn and Williams deal. You still have CJ Moseley's deals

94
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,720
You still have a lot of you know moving pieces, but at the same time

95
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,600
You want to be able to have a little bit of cap flexibility

96
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:38,880
Just in case you want to try go after you know some people to Fonte Adams or Brandon are you awake? Who knows right?

97
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:45,320
So you have you want to be able to figure out what you want to do now granted

98
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:53,120
if you if you would have told the Jets that Hassan Redick would have you know be doing things that he's doing right now I

99
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Think the Jets probably wouldn't have tried to trade for Hassan Redick, but clearly

100
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,880
That's not the case and so now they're in a situation where?

101
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,320
They have to figure out exactly. What are they going to do?

102
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,280
with him because training camp has started right and

103
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:18,160
You know you don't want something like this to continue to linger on as training camp continues to go by you don't especially

104
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:25,960
If you have with them having someone like a Hassan Redick on that defensive line that definitely elevates things to another level

105
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Okay, because you have Quinn and Williams in the middle. He's gonna have to get double team

106
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,620
You have a sign ready who can play both the left and the right side

107
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:40,380
You have you know, you still have Jermaine Johnson and you also have

108
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:43,780
The other patch rusher that they drafted as well

109
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:45,980
so you have somewhat of a

110
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:52,780
Rotation on the defensive line and that cannot be you know done successfully if

111
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:58,220
You know if you're supposed to star patch rusher isn't even there practicing

112
00:10:58,660 --> 00:11:01,340
Right like there there has been

113
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:09,820
There has been so much drama with the Jets lately that it's just like do you even paid any mind at this point?

114
00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:16,300
Like granted, I'm I'm I'll always say that I'm pro player always want you know players getting paid and whatnot

115
00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:22,860
But at this point you are hurting yourself more and you are hurting the team by you by your negligence

116
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:29,700
Instead of just trying to you know come into the building trying to figure out exactly, you know

117
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,660
What what mutual ground do you and the team has?

118
00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:38,820
What's a number that that benefits everybody is it too high is it too low is it just right and

119
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:42,820
Just go from there at that point you would conquer more

120
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:47,660
There if you was then you know then just you know holding out over there

121
00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:50,940
It's different if you was holding in if he was holding in you know

122
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:53,580
He's just doing his own personal work

123
00:11:53,580 --> 00:12:01,180
Workouts to the side and not with the team then that's perfectly fine because he's in the building and that means that you can you know

124
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:08,820
Have a physical conversation with him compared to him not being involved with the team at all not learning the defense not

125
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,740
Understanding and building chemistry with other players on that team

126
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:18,340
Especially on the defense so I say all that to say this and this is for any player

127
00:12:18,340 --> 00:12:24,780
That you know that that may be trying to look for a deal it would be better for you to do a hold in

128
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:30,380
Than a hold out because at least with a hold in you can still have that

129
00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:37,300
Communication with the front office and with your agent to try to find and get a deal done as quickly as possible

130
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:40,500
Because the longer this thing holds out

131
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:47,700
The more attention is it's going to be brought and it's just it's sort of like a fire you the more oxygen

132
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:52,900
It gets and I could be wrong the more oxygen it gets the stronger the

133
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:58,780
The fire gets and you don't want that because you already have drama already with you know

134
00:12:59,340 --> 00:13:03,300
Aron Rogers, so now you're gonna have this like it's just all it's just a

135
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,620
big ball of just

136
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:10,660
Bull crap. That's really what it is and you know

137
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:15,820
Kudos to all the Jets fans that endure all this. I don't know how the world you guys do it

138
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:21,700
But if it was me, I would not be doing it at all now. It's time to go into these rain alerts

139
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:27,420
Okay, we got a lot of rain alerts. Okay, so I'm gonna let you know right now

140
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:33,100
You probably don't want to listen to this out in public. Okay, you probably want to have headphones on

141
00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:40,860
Or you know, whatever else how however it is. Okay, so let's let's let's let's get into these rain alerts, okay?

142
00:13:40,860 --> 00:13:46,020
So the bangles owner bangles owner. I think his name is Mike Brown if I'm not mistaken

143
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,020
So he put out two quotes lately

144
00:13:48,580 --> 00:13:51,060
About both T Higgins and the Jamar Chase

145
00:13:51,740 --> 00:13:57,860
Contract situation. So let's go over the quote that he put out on why he's not paying T Higgins

146
00:13:57,860 --> 00:14:03,780
So he said and I quote according to Miles Simmons from NBC Sports Pro football Network shout out to you for the reporting

147
00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:06,940
He said quote-unquote the pie is not going to grow

148
00:14:06,940 --> 00:14:13,780
It's only going to be a certain size but when you reach a point where with your quarterback that you have to pay him a

149
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:17,540
Big contract that takes a disproportionate price out of the pie

150
00:14:17,780 --> 00:14:20,700
Which means you have less to pay the others

151
00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:25,500
Sometimes the impacts whether you can get get the other sign

152
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:28,180
You can't just pay the people willy-nilly

153
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:32,820
You're restricted on how much you can pay and we really like T Higgins

154
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:38,820
We would wish to sign him but it has to be a certain level to fit within the cap or it can't be done

155
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,340
Right now when you look at all of that

156
00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:48,140
And in some ways he he does make sense, you know once you do pay the quarterback

157
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:51,540
It does limit the ability to pay other players

158
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:56,820
However, you did know that this was coming up soon, right?

159
00:14:57,260 --> 00:15:02,220
You knew it you knew that pretty soon you're gonna have to pay T Higgins

160
00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:05,740
You're gonna have to pay Jomar Chase and you're gonna have to pay Joe Burrow, right?

161
00:15:05,740 --> 00:15:11,580
You already knew that so for you to say something like you can't just pay the people willy-nilly

162
00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:15,140
Yes, you can technically speaking

163
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:21,260
Because you could have paid T Higgins last year had you paid T Higgins last year

164
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:23,780
You wouldn't be in the situation where you are right now

165
00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:28,920
Because now the word the wide receiver market is so crazy right now

166
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:35,340
And you still have one you still have two more players that are going to get big contracts in both

167
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:42,220
His mind just his name just just let my mind up Brandon IE week and CD lamb

168
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:46,060
It's gonna mess you up more it is

169
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:50,300
Whether you realize it or not the longer that you wait out

170
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:57,500
The worst it's going to be for you because guess what the minute somebody else gets as close as they can to Justin

171
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:01,540
Jefferson's deal or even surpasses it it messes up the entire negotiation

172
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:04,900
It does and you literally have two receivers right now

173
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:08,420
Who are ones on any other team?

174
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:16,900
Right, and you know that if you let one of those two walk or the both of them walk, that's it

175
00:16:17,420 --> 00:16:23,700
It is for Nito. It is done, right when you look at T Higgins market value

176
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:30,140
It's still five years ninety eight point five million which would equate to nineteen point seven million

177
00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:34,580
On average according to spot right now when you look at your mark Chase's market value

178
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:40,900
It's a three-year ninety one point five million dollar deal. He'll be making thirty point five million a year

179
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:46,060
When we look at these deals those deals aren't really that bad, right?

180
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:53,480
Because okay, yes Joe Burrow is you know, it's hit his deal is sort of like ironclad because he's the quarterback

181
00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:00,780
Okay, perfectly fine, but you have to be able to find a way to make sure that you take care of both T Higgins and

182
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:06,820
Jamar Chase, but even then with with the you know recent reports coming out that you know

183
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:13,180
They haven't even had a discussion about contract talks since last March for

184
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:18,700
For T Higgins that says a lot that says a whole lot of folks

185
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:22,820
That is something that you in some ways you have to be concerned about

186
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:28,340
Because why in the world didn't you not have these discussions?

187
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:31,780
You know since since last March and

188
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:38,380
T Higgins has basically let it be known like listen once this season is over with I'm going

189
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:42,860
I'm going and so you know that bridge is basically burnt

190
00:17:42,860 --> 00:17:48,460
And I don't think it'll probably be rebuilt who knows but when you look at you know

191
00:17:48,460 --> 00:17:54,180
But when you go back to the bangles owner when you look at his quotes about Jamar Chase

192
00:17:54,180 --> 00:17:58,980
It's somewhat of a similar thing as well. He said according to Adam Schefter

193
00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:03,660
He said and I quote it's not so likely that this is the good time to negotiate

194
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:09,300
The offseason is a better time for that and we're going to try to keep focus on the football part

195
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:15,860
I'm not going to rule anything out, but I will tell you that the die has already been cast, right?

196
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:17,860
This is the offseason

197
00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:22,460
Mr. Brown, it's that this is this is the offseason, right?

198
00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:27,580
That's this this right here this this area this this time. It's the offseason

199
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:30,620
So why on God's green earth?

200
00:18:30,620 --> 00:18:38,060
Would you say something like this when you know dad going well that CD lamb is still looking for a deal and

201
00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:40,920
Brandon I you look is still looking for a deal

202
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:47,680
You know damn well that you are not going to pay neither one of these receivers

203
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,720
And you know damn well when you don't pay neither one of these receivers

204
00:18:52,800 --> 00:19:01,040
You guys are going to go back to being the fourth best team in this division. You know it. I know it everybody knows it

205
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,880
That's ridiculous. That's honestly ridiculous

206
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:12,880
You should have prioritized making sure that you take care of your offense because guess what your offense is the reason

207
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,680
Why you guys win so many games your offense is the reason why you guys made it to the Super Bowl

208
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,380
Your offense is the reason why you guys continue to go toe-to-toe with Patrick Mahomes

209
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Without that offense you guys are nothing and I don't care what any Bengals fan may say

210
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:36,840
It's literally your offense. That's the best part of your team. You take away that offense

211
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,040
You have nothing that defense that defense is deplorable

212
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:48,180
You have Trey Hendrickson who was on the edge right now who is basically saying I am willing to retire

213
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Unless you guys give me more money. You've lost DJ reader. You've lost Larry open Joby

214
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:02,400
You've lost a lot of the people in that secondary and you think just you know, oh, it's just not the time to do it

215
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,400
Well, when is the good time to do it?

216
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:11,040
When when is the time for you to finally decide? Oh, okay? It's time to pay

217
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,800
The receivers now. No, you should have taken care of this now

218
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:22,680
Because now the receiver market is so jacked up and it's not going to be able to somewhat

219
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,160
Um fix itself that guess what now you're gonna have to pay more money and

220
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:35,200
Let's not hope and pray that CD land gets a deal done soon or Brandon

221
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,520
Iewe because if one of those two get a get a deal done soon

222
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,840
The whole playing field is destroyed. You know it. I know but hey, guess what?

223
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,960
I'm a bankers fan. So guess what? I have to deal with this shit. I don't who cares, right?

224
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,280
Nobody cares, but this is the type of stuff here folks

225
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,860
That some that at times can make you a little bit

226
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Frustrated with the team because it's like, okay

227
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,160
Why are you so unwilling to not pay?

228
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,460
You know that your players take care of your players now great

229
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:19,880
I understand that you know, not everybody can get paid. I understand that I respect that all those different type of things

230
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,020
But you have to know it but you have to have active

231
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,840
negotiations with the team in order to understand and probably come to a conclusion on hey

232
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,520
Maybe it's just best that we just part of separate ways. We play we play the season now

233
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Maybe we'll come, you know, maybe we'll come back and you know figure figure something out

234
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,760
I you know post the season maybe we can you know rekindle something and try to get a deal done

235
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Or we'll just let you just walk in free agency. How easy is that?

236
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,200
I literally just solved the problem and I've only been a GM for only six years

237
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
But I'm still not on the team right now, but that's another storefront another day

238
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:06,920
That's all I'm saying, right? And you know, if you're a bangles fan, you should be concerned about this because guess what?

239
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,020
If the bangles don't pay neither T. Haggings or Jamar taste

240
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,400
It's gonna look

241
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,240
And this is about to be a load of barnacles

242
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:26,140
But again, I am not a bangles fan now moving on to this whole

243
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,480
Giants and say quant situation because now we finally are able to see

244
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:36,780
Say quant tell his side of the story and sort of break things down on

245
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:44,200
What exactly happened between those contract negotiations between him and the Giants because hard knots did show

246
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,120
You know the phone conversation and whatnot, but they didn't really go in depth

247
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,600
With everything but with say quant doing an interview with Diana Mussini and her podcast shout out to scoop city

248
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,080
You know now we are finally able to sort of pick apart and sort of understand exactly what happened, right?

249
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,920
So, you know, these are just sort of like a few notes that sort of you know, jot it down when when I was

250
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,800
listening and looking at the

251
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:16,120
Looking at the interview. So basically he said and I quote it was over after the phone call in my opinion

252
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,680
It was over after after that because I never in my heart truly believed

253
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,520
They were going to match it or they only wanted me for a lower price

254
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,200
Joe made a comment that it took 10 years off his life like if it took 10 years off your life

255
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,280
What do you think it did for me?

256
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Right now from that alone, you can definitely tell

257
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,760
That this situation especially that phone call probably, you know

258
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,560
bothered sequan a little bit because

259
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,400
When you look at it, you know, he's definitely been a very focal piece for that, you know for that offense

260
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,400
So for the GM to basically go out and say, okay. Yeah

261
00:23:54,040 --> 00:24:00,360
Uh, we're just gonna let you hit free agency and let you test the market and hopefully, you know, you come back, you know

262
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,440
You know, there's any other blah blah blah all the same rhetoric that every GM says

263
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,480
But in sequan situation, it's a little bit unique because

264
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,160
He's a focal point. He's the focal point of the offense. That's what he is, right?

265
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,960
And you know as a GM, there are certain players on your team that you have to prioritize

266
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,400
And if you don't prioritize them guess what's gonna happen

267
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,200
They're gonna go to a division rival and then they're gonna run your ass over

268
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Every single time that the that you guys face one another and that's exactly what sequan is going to do when he goes up

269
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,280
When he goes up against the Giants

270
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,880
He went to the Eagles

271
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,880
The owner literally said

272
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,240
I would I don't want to lose sleep

273
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Off of this sequan situation in translate in translation. Do you know what that means?

274
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:58,280
We need to sign sequan. You need to find a way to get sequan. I don't care

275
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,560
What the general norm is about running backs and paying them a whole lot of money?

276
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:10,040
None of those things you need to find a way to get him because he realizes that sequan

277
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,800
alone

278
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Does so much for that offense and when sequan is not on that field when he is not making plays and whatnot

279
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,000
That offense becomes stagnant and he cannot do anything with it

280
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,560
That's what it is, right?

281
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,560
even when you look at some of the

282
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Some of you know some of the things

283
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:38,440
Um that that sequan said, you know, he he he said, you know, he felt, you know frustrated that the that the Giants didn't prioritize

284
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:45,160
Um didn't prioritize him and sort of give him a fair negotiation compared to what they did for you know

285
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,000
um

286
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,960
You know dexter lorenz and daniel jones and anthony tom is right, which is

287
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,280
rightfully so

288
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,400
You you didn't try your hardest to try to find a way to keep sequan

289
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Sequan already told you where he wanted to be

290
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:09,960
So if he told you where you where he wanted to be you should have worked something out to get it done

291
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,920
That's what you should have done instead of you trying to talk yourself into believing into daniel jones

292
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,520
You should have been trying to figure out a way to do something with sequan

293
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,000
You should have been trying to figure out a way to do something with sequan

294
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,960
You should have been trying to figure out a way to do something with sequan

295
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,280
Because you know damn well if you

296
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,760
lose sequan

297
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:44,040
That's it for the offense because no matter who else you bring they will not be able to match the production

298
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,680
That is sequan barkley brings

299
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,880
Perfectly fine. No disrespect to him at all great great opportunity for him to get you know to get more money or whatnot

300
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,360
But at the same time

301
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,080
Do you really think devin singletary can do the same things that a sequan barkley can do no

302
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,440
No, not at all not even not even on the best day of the week

303
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,480
Could devin singletary do the things that sequan barkley do and they know it

304
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,120
So if you think that's going to work perfectly fine, but just know you messed up

305
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:21,320
But even when we go and we go a little bit deeper into this interview, you know

306
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:25,400
sequan won the first two years of the deal guarantee

307
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,720
But when as joe shane basically said he was going to take it up with ownership

308
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,920
And you know there was never an answer giving back to sequan on if they can do that or not

309
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:41,160
Me personally, I feel like that was somewhat of a simple fix that you probably shouldn't you shouldn't have to go to

310
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,160
management for because you're the gm and

311
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,760
You should just basically say somewhat of a yes or no answer

312
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,960
You should have just run that you know with the money people and then you know just go from there honestly, right?

313
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,520
And you know, I would definitely say throughout this entire interview

314
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,200
He definitely emphasized a lot that he felt disrespected

315
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,960
You know throughout the entire process and rightfully so because you know when you look at it

316
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:12,520
Sequan really didn't have a chance to really negotiate. He did it and so

317
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280
In his mind, he's like to hell with y'all

318
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,440
If y'all don't value me as as a player if y'all don't value me

319
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,400
You know what I do on the field off the field for this organization

320
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,120
Then what is the point in me trying to give you guys a chance to?

321
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,360
You know try to get a deal done or try to come back. There's no point

322
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:37,480
The bridge is already burning you said what you said whatever you

323
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,520
What when when you said what you said when Joe Shane basically said we're gonna let you hit the free agency market

324
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:51,160
That's it. That's the nail in the coffin. That's it. That's it. There's nothing you can do or say that's going to change that

325
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,600
It's not

326
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,040
And so now you're gonna have to do with the repercussions

327
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:02,200
You know what the repercussions are say quan steam rolling that defense two times a season

328
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,680
And guess what and guess what Joe Shane?

329
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,960
You got the best seat in the house

330
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,560
So you get to see it for two games this season. So guess what?

331
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,560
So when it happens when seguan barkley goes off and seguan does seguan things

332
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,440
Just know we're all going to revisit that conversation that you had with him on hard knocks

333
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Where you basically said, oh, yeah, I'm just gonna let you hit the free agency. Let's go. Let you just test the market

334
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,800
See what happens. Okay. That's what happened now moving on to

335
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,120
You know just just some very small key points. Um, amari cooper

336
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,040
Basically

337
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,120
Agreed to a restructure of his deal. Um, basically the browns are giving him

338
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,480
five a five million dollars somewhat of a

339
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Arrays it if you would say but it's mainly in incentives while giving half of the 20 million dollars that he was supposed to get

340
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840
And change it into a signing bonus now me personally

341
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,760
I think it's more of a somewhat of a cleanup type of

342
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,040
Um deal

343
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:10,120
I think it's more of a way to create a little bit of uh cap space for them and give them a little bit of

344
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Flexibility just in case if they do want to go after somebody and add to this team

345
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:21,240
But at the same time try to take a little bit less off of his contract because they know

346
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,720
that you know

347
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,680
Maybe they want to get rid of them. Maybe they want to trade them. Maybe they

348
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,120
Maybe they want to try to add somebody else into the receiver room or to the offense or let them know the defense

349
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:39,080
Who knows right the browns have been able to do very small little things when it comes to their contracts and their books

350
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:45,320
You know lately and you know to some people it's like, you know, it's nothing really, you know major but to me

351
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,760
It's like okay

352
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:53,640
They're trying to set themselves up to probably go after one more big time player possibly but who knows right?

353
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,640
Now same thing with uh the matt matthew staffer situation, you know, he agreed to a restructure deal as well

354
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,840
He only had 15 million guaranteed. Um after after the 2024 season

355
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,640
Um, but unfortunately there there is no details about that restruct as well

356
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,240
But what it sounds like to me is he didn't he wanted more guaranteed money

357
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,680
He had it after this season after this upcoming

358
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Season and so basically the Rams probably gave him a number

359
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,400
They probably agreed to that number and so they probably broke it down

360
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,280
And so, you know, here's the situation that you have right here now

361
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Here is something that we have to talk about because this just came up, right?

362
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,480
So nonji here is finally has spoken

363
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:47,480
You know about, you know, what what has happened with the Steelers and you know them not deciding to pick up his fifth year option

364
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:54,840
Um now all my Steelers fans, you know, don't don't get upset with me because I am a Steelers fan myself

365
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,680
I mean I sound like it all the time, but yes, unfortunately. I am a Steelers fan

366
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,920
So according to Brooke prior shout out shout out to Brooke by the way, um

367
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,520
This is basically the quote that that um that nonji basically said at trading camp, right?

368
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,520
So basically, um

369
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:18,280
They he said that the Steelers told him that they were declining because they didn't know which direction the offense is

370
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,960
headed

371
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,800
I'm gonna say that again

372
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:27,640
The Steelers told nonji Harris the person who's had a thousand rushing yards

373
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,320
Three seasons in a row that they don't know which direction the offense is headed

374
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,280
Meanwhile, the Steelers hired

375
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:42,600
Arthur Smith who runs a run heavy offense

376
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,800
Oh, by the way

377
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:52,680
The Steelers drafted two tackles in the first round with both project Jones

378
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,240
and Troy Futano

379
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,400
And you mean to tell me

380
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:03,960
That the bullshit answer that you give nonji Harris is oh, we don't know which which direction the offense is headed

381
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Bullshit

382
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Straight up bullshit. You cannot you can't tell someone like that

383
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,360
That okay. Yeah, we don't know which was direct

384
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:20,760
You know because you made the moves that dictated what direction the offense is going to go

385
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,480
Which is what we're going to run the ball and we're going to have a physical defense

386
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,240
That's the identity of the Pittsburgh Steelers going into the 2024 season

387
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,400
Everybody knows it

388
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,120
They've been rebuilding the offensive line. They've been prioritizing running the ball more

389
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:44,600
They got an offensive coordinator who ran the ball when he was the offensive coordinator at tennessee

390
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,200
So why in the world would you tell me something like this? And let's not forget folks

391
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,840
The fifth year option for nonji Harris wasn't even that expensive

392
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,760
It was only six to eight million dollars if i'm not mistaken

393
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:05,640
So what in the world are we doing and that's probably going to be that that's probably the name for this episode. Bam

394
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,280
GM does it every single time

395
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,320
But what are we doing here folks? What are we doing?

396
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,600
It's one thing if nonji Harris wasn't being productive

397
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:20,280
It's one thing if you know, you want to go in a different direction and whatnot. Okay, cool perfectly fine

398
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,920
But to say something like this, you don't know which direction the offense is headed

399
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:31,240
I'm sorry. That is a lackluster answer. Um, because clearly your actions

400
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,800
spoke louder than your words

401
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,840
Especially, you know with previous interviews leading up to this point basically

402
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:44,920
You know both the GM and the head coach and the owner basically emphasizing that they wanted to run the ball more

403
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,920
That's what they emphasize

404
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,160
So if they emphasize that they wanted to run the ball more then guess what guess what they did

405
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:58,760
They got an offensive coordinator who does what run the ball more. They got one offense of linemen so they can do what run the ball more

406
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:06,600
Come on guys. Come on. Can you know what? I'm I'm I'm done. I'm I'm I'm I'm just

407
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:14,120
Wow, you cannot make this stuff out folks. I'm just gonna end this right here. Thank you guys so much for listening to another episode
