Double back alert double back alert double back alert double back alert folks. That's right. We got two back alerts
Is this I think it's safe to say that the bag alerts are back folks, you know
I've been I've been waiting for this you've been waiting for us
We all here at the football Juggies podcast have been waiting for this. Okay, Trent Williams is now holding out
Looking for money. Okay, does this add pressure to the 49ers to win it all this year or not?
We're gonna talk about that as well as CD lamb and Michael Parsons looking to reset the market Wow
That is throwing out some blam knows I want to be here
But you guys don't want me to be here, but I'll take the money
But I don't know if you want to give me the money all of this and and more as well as a very controversial take
Should the Cowboys trade one of the three
To the three or all of the three all of this and more on the 18th episode of the football Juggies podcast
I'm your host Kale who was currently looking at the cash face for all 32 teams
Trying to figure out what is the best course of action for all 32 teams moving forward. Kale. Let's lock in
All right, folks, let's just jump right into the news. Okay, so we have two two bag alerts
For the same position isn't that crazy? I know it would
Come on man. Who when you are I don't know what to say the bag alerts are fat our back folks
Okay, they're back. I don't care anyone says the bag alerts are back and I am so excited for this
Okay, man when I tell when I the first thing that I do in the morning is check to see if we got any more bag alerts
Okay, just seeing and knowing that we got more bag alerts just warms my heart
Okay, so let's start with the first person. Okay safety for the Seahawks former giant safety as well
Julian love ain't a three year 36 million dollar extension. You'll be making 12 million a year, right?
And okay, let's look at the other safety Jabril peppers just ain't a three year 24 million dollar extension that can go up to
30 million so when you look at both of these contracts, right?
Julian love will probably making 12 million a year and Jabril peppers could possibly be making close to eight
Maybe 10 million a year both of them are really good team friendly deals
Okay, especially with the safety market not being as robust as other markets such as you know past rush market
Cornerback market the defensive lineman market even the linebacker market. So both of these
Um players are very pivotal players on the defense. Okay now
I definitely will when I do read the stats for the both of them
You're probably gonna be thinking well that person really shouldn't have gotten paid that amount of money
But sometimes and and and this is a problem that I have to that I also deal with myself is
Sometimes stats always don't tell the story, right? A lot of times you just have to see their play on the field to know like hey
This is somebody that you know is worth the type of money
They're getting and then and we can be real here. These are these are very short-term deals
These are a long drawn-out deal. These are very short-term deals
So push come to shove after this season if they feel like you know, it's time for it's time for them to move on or what not?
Guess what? It's not that that big of a dead cap hit
It's fairly
Digestible and it's easy to move on to another team
So I mean if we can be real here, it's a win-win situation for all sides all together now
When we look at Julian Lowe's stats for you know for this past season
So he was tied for seventh in the lead with four interceptions
He had two fourths fumbles eighty-five solo tackles and ten pass deflections right according to pro football reference
Shout out to pro football reference as well. Now when we look at Jibril Peppers stats, right?
He only had one force from bull two picks a past deflections 52 solo tackles, right now
Again now you're probably wondering it's a real purpose man. Don't those stats really don't say anything
They do you just he he is a type of player that you have to you have to see his play
Then to like just go by his stats. He's not a stat person where it's like oh
He's gonna be tied for this or he's gonna be top five in this category or top ten in this category
Like no like Jibril Peppers and and I can remember when he was when he was coming out of Michigan
He was a dynamic like explosive player. You're talking about somebody who was is all over the field
Who was making an impact that that's that's who he is. That's who I categorize him as a impact player who?
You know, he's gonna get the job done, but at the same time, you know
He he can he can lay the lumber on you. He's a hitter. He is a hitter
he will hit you and
You know the Patriots need somebody like that. They need somebody with that type of mindset because
And and this this could probably open up to a bigger to somewhat of a bigger sub
segment as well
the Patriots defense is actually in a really good situation and
And the reason why I say that is because you have your real you have Jibril Peppers, right cool
Then you have Christian Gonzalez. You're not gonna talk about that because that can be a two-hour segment that we're just not gonna go down the road for
We're just not no, we're not gonna do it. We're not gonna do it. We're not gonna do it
Should have went to the Steelers, but I'm gonna leave you alone. Leave you alone. You know
You have Christian Barmore. So they they have pieces, right? They have pieces and they're in a really good situation
Now I understand, you know, Bill Belichick, you know, definitely gets a lot of you know, a lot of negativity thrown at him
Just because of you know, how he handled a lot of situations when he was the head coach of the Patriots
And now he handled things with Tom Brady would not but but when we really look at things folks
He left that defense well, not only the defense, but he left the team in somewhat of a good situation
If we can be real here
The the Patriots are in a situation where if they hit on on the next two drafts
They could go back to being a very dangerous team. They really can honestly speaking
They have a lot of cap space. They have a rookie quarterback
So that just allows them to continue to bring in people
bringing big talent and
Sign them to contracts where you know, you really you really don't have to worry about you don't and then if we're
If we really want to go down the go down the road and really go down into this iceberg
Pretty soon the jets are going to implode. Yes, I said it. I'm going to be the person that said it
I'm going to be the person with the controversial take today
the jets are going to blow up and
You know, it won't be long before the bills do as well and even the the dolphins
All of those all those three teams are in very dire
Win now situations. Well, not all three. It's mainly the two
It's mainly the bills in the dolphins is not really the jets. I don't care where anyone says
I don't care what this person or that person says to me
The jets are not a team that I can I can say like oh their playoff team
Oh, they can win a Super Bowl
I can't say that because they still have holes on that team that needs to be addressed as well as coaching
Let's call it for what it is folks the jets needed to
They needed to go out of their way to try to get some try to try to get a better
offensive coordinator, okay, because
Nathaniel Hackett to me is not offensive coordinator. He's a towel boy. He is Aaron Rogers
Tow boy, I said it and I'm going to stand on that because
That offense did not really do a whole lot and mind you that offense is not you know just some
Subpar lackluster offense. It doesn't have any talent. You got Gary Wilson. You got Breeze Hall
You have Alan Lazard if I'm not mistaken
You still have Aaron Rogers who can still throw one of the fastest and prettiest
You know tight spiral balls in the league. You still have that
So why in the world was the offense so lackluster?
Last season not to mention
They have and I'll give them credit for they have started to invest into the offense of line a little bit more
Especially when it came to the draft and whatnot. So the pieces are there
It was just a matter of are things going to you know to mesh together and when will that happen?
Compared to when you have you know the the bills who they still have Josh now and now
They're receiver situations a little bit weird, but you know who knows they might try to go after somebody
And whatnot and then you have the dolphins, you know, dolphins have to up for now. You're quote big air quote
little star asterisk to the side
You have Damon Archand you have a Raheem Moster. You have Tyree kill you have Jalen Waddle
So you have people right but at the same time they're in situations where they they basically
They they front loaded their mortgage
They basically said to hell with it. We're gonna see we're gonna see what we're gonna see how things shake out and
You know sometimes it works or sometimes it doesn't work and when it doesn't work. Guess what happens?
You you're put in a situation where now you you push back five steps backwards
It's a five steps forwards and so what happens is now
People are looking to to get out of their contracts people want to be put in better situations all those different type of things
Okay, because let's be real here if the Patriots get another, you know top 10 pick
Especially with it being a defensive heavy drive class if they get someone like a Mason Graham or a D on Walker or
Will Johnson on that team if they get will Johnson
Going going not going not going up against but across from Christian Gonzalez. Oh my god. Oh
My god, you want to talk about dangerous? You got a dangerous
Defense, okay a very dangerous defense that is on the rise
People are gonna doubt them because they're still going through that phase of rebuilding
But just know they are going to be dangerous
You heard it here first on the football junkies podcast just fans if you're mad at me perfectly fine
I don't really care. Just know I'm sleeping on you guys. Okay. I'm sleeping on you guys
I got my I got my blanket beside me. I got my nice pillow. I got me on a good documentary
I'm sleeping on you guys. Okay. I want to see it
I want to see if you if they go on a tear if they come out the season guns blazing and they're in a position to be the
The first or the second best team in their division then guess what I'll take everything back
I'll take everything back. I'll say, you know what, you know, I was wrong the jets were right all those different type of things
But I just don't see it. I just don't I would put my money on the bills
Going to the Super Bowl before I do the jets, but I digress right now
moving on to the offensive line
situation with the 49ers because why the 49ers had just continued to be a
nuisance to well not really a nuisance, but just continued to be the news all
Off-season long so everybody reported the training clamp not clamp training camp and
You know come to find out trip. Williams didn't show out and come to find out. He's holding out for a new contract
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, man if you would have thought brand-new was just a situation now you got trim Williams. Whoa
This is not looking good for them
It's not you just have to laugh at this type of stuff folks because whether we want to admit it or not, right?
The 49ers are in the pressure is on them. Okay, it's really really really bad for them
Okay, and I'm gonna explain why in just a second when you're in a situation where
you for one you have
Basically now now you have three major contracts that you're gonna have to worry about and brand-new
You like Trent Williams and I'll Brock Purdy
It it sort of puts a lot of pressure on you because if you can't win a Super Bowl now when are you ever going to do it, right?
They have accumulated so much talent on that team on both sides of the ball that it's like yo
You got a win at this point. You have Trent Williams George Kittle
Debo Samuel Brandon IE
Brock Purdy Christian McCaffrey
Nick Bosa Javon Hargrave you got Fred Warner
Charverius War Dre Greenlaw
Rock Yawson they got a lot they got players they got ballers on that team and
They're in a situation where they got to win they have to now granted
You know they are there will probably be you know the front runners to you know when it all you know win the division and you know
That different type of stuff but at the same time
This is added pressure to them because with the with the left tackle market, you know sort of
Resetting it puts more pressure on them because guess what Trent Williams is still
If not the best one of the best left tackles in the game right now. I don't care what anyone says
Oh, he's a little bit older. Oh, he must have less. He must have lost a little pep in the step
No, he's not he is still an elite left tackle and since being with the 49ers
His play has actually elevated even more since he was with Washington
Washington, I'm sorry, you know, you guys made a really bad decision
I'm just gonna be honest here, but when we break things down, right?
So I'm gonna I'm gonna do it in a way to to sort of like go a little bit in the past to go in the future
Okay, so when we look at it, right Trent Williams
Current contract was a six year one hundred thirty eight million dollar deal
He was he was getting a thirty million dollar signing bonus fifty five point one million
Guarantee he was making twenty three million a year at that time when he signed that deal, right?
But things have changed since he signed that deal, right? When you look at the highest paid tackles
My annual average according to pro football network Christian Daris all's new deal twenty eight point twenty five million
Pne Sue well twenty eight million Loremi Tencel twenty five million Andrew Thomas twenty three point five million and Trent Williams is
twenty three
Point zero one or just twenty three million, right? So
Although yes, he's still top five and you know highest paid tackles
It was I mean this was bound to happen, right? It was bound to happen
At some point it was just a matter of was it gonna happen, you know last year this year next year whenever, right?
And you know when you look at it Trent Williams is in this situation where guess what he can hold out
He can hold out he can do that because why?
Everybody knows that the 49ers cannot go into the season without Trent Williams
They know that because if they try to do that it is going to end
Horribly it is because whether we want to admit or not Trent Williams is still
A league he is still a mover
He can still hold his own against some of the best pass rushers not only in his division
But in the league as a whole right and so the question is is he going to crests?
that thirty million dollar a year mark or
Is it going to be a situation where the 49ers are just going to have to let him just just play his contract out and then
Maybe try to deal with it
Next you know next offseason because whether we want to admit or not folks guess what?
Brock Purdy's contract is coming up soon. Yes. Yes. That's right. That's right that quarterback
Yeah, pretty soon. He's going to get paid and when he gets paid. Oh, that's it
that's the nail in the coffin right there because and
And this will this will open up to something a little bit more here
Brock Purdy is in this situation where if he wins the Super Bowl if he wins the Super Bowl for the 49ers
Blank check blank check no matter you write the amount and guess what they'll do it
That's what it is. That is where the 49ers are at right now on top of
Brandon I you look so you have a lot of things that you have to worry about and try to figure out
Within a small amount of time because when we look at you know, Brock Purdy's market value according to spot rack shadow to who?
Spot rack. It's a five year
254.5 million dollar deal he we making 50 million a year
50 50 and that's just a market value
That's that's probably not even counting if he was to win a Super Bowl if you want a Super Bowl
Oh, that's an xD million guaranteed
in
So again
The pressure is on the 49ers right now to win a Super Bowl
The pressure is on the there is so much pressure on them now to win a Super Bowl
That it takes away the pressure that's on the Chiefs the Lions
The Ravens and other teams that are in that bubble to win a Super Bowl. It really is because
No one can say all the 49ers didn't have talent. They can't say oh
The 49ers, you know, they wasn't equipped the best. They didn't have the best luck. No, they didn't
They've always had the best
They had one year where they had Eric Armstead and the Forrest Buckner and
Nick Bosa or one line. All right, they've had a top five top ten
Offense and defense. They've done it all. It's just a matter of finishing now
Some that can be contributed to a certain person calcium and and his lack of coaching and a lot of that can be
Orchestrated on you know people being available some people not being available
It's just a very difficult situation right now for the 49ers. I know how John long
I don't know how John Lynch is going to get it done
But who knows maybe it happens after this after this recording who knows
Maybe I could I could be done with this episode getting ready to edit next thing. I know
Trent Williams inks a new deal who knows but hey guess what it's not my team right now
Time to talk about my favorite team
Time to talk about my favorite favorite favorite team
The cowboys, that's right. That's right. How about them cowboys? How about them cowboys? Oh
Just an amazing feeling just to know that the cowboys are gonna crumble like flour hitting water
Oh, just an amazing feeling. This is the cherry on
So we finally have a little bit more information on
What exactly the ballpark is for both CD lamb and Michael Parsons?
So apparently CD lamb is looking to reset the market as well as Michael Parsons, right?
Now you're probably thinking they could probably do it. Yes, they can but the problem is cowboys can afford it
The cowboys are in this situation, right? We're literally
They have three players that they are going to probably have to reset the market for now
You're probably wondering could they do it?
Not really
Not really because whether we want to admit or not Dak Prescott is probably gonna hit that $60 million a year mark
Okay, CD lamb can easily will not easily but he could probably surpass Justin Jefferson's deal, right?
And then you have Michael Parsons who he could probably you know reset the market as well. So it's a very difficult situation for them because
For one there they're out of crossroads. They're out of there at a very difficult, you know path right now because
For one they need to go through rebuild
But I don't think Jerry wants to do that, right?
And you know graded, you know the cowboys are good when it comes to the regular season
It's just when they get to the playoffs that they just crumble, right?
With it's like it's like this, right? Cowboys and playoffs. They don't go with the same sentence
They just don't they just don't that that little meme of that head coach me says playoffs
Playoffs you want to talk about playoffs?
Same thing with the cowboys, right?
They are in a situation where you know Jerry says we're all in we're all in we're all in you guys aren't you guys aren't in
You don't even know what all in means
You wouldn't know if it came up to you slapped you in the face and said hey, I'm all in
He wanted because guess what?
Every single time that you guys have assembled these great teams guess what you do choke choke
Y'all be hoof man. It's
It's it's it's bad. It's bad and you know people can't say oh
Cowboys fans don't have a lot of talent. They've had talent. They've had a lot of talent. They drive very well
Very well, so we can't just continue to to beat on the drum about them
But however the situation with all of this is who's gonna get the deal first?
That's the real question because Dak is is is training with the team right now
I think Michael Parsons is to see the lamb is the only one that isn't so
You know this and this will this will definitely be a segment
You know to definitely talk about who was going to get the deal, right?
Who was gonna who's gonna be first in line?
Who are they going to prioritize?
Because if it was me personally and I know this probably be controversial it would probably be between
Either Michael Parsons or Dak Prescott because whether we want to a minute or not
Mike McCarthy will probably not be the head coach for the Dallas Cowboys moving forward. I just know
I think there's a lot of pressure or Mike McCarthy to try to turn this team
You know into a Super Bowl caliber team and I just don't feel like they have the adequate pieces
Nor the cap space to do that at this point. I just know personally
It's basically like Jerry Jones is basically telling
Mike McCarthy. Hey, I want you to turn this water into wine for me
I want you to turn this five dollars into five million dollars, right?
Because whether we want to mirror or not for one next year's draft class is going to be a defensive
Heavy draft class. That's one two
It is likely that Bill Belichick will probably be the next head coach for the Dallas Cowboys
He probably will and that's going to be another segment itself as well because when we look at it, right?
the quarterback draft class next year is not going to be strong, right? It's just not and
I don't think the Cowboys are going to be willing to to taint to get one of those one of those quarterbacks
I just don't and so I think you know
Dak has Dak has more on his side than what a CD lamb or Micah Parsons do, right?
Dak is in a situation where when you when you look at the regular season, he's good
He gets the job done. He wins games. He you know, whatever you need him to do
He does it, right? But when he gets to the playoffs, it's a whole different ball game, right in granted
I understand you you're literally division rivals with the Eagles and whatnot. I get those different type of things
But you know at some point, you know
The pressure does have to be put on Dak Prescott to at least take the team to the NFC championship at least
Right because Jer goff did it with the Lions after he was basically sent sent to the Lions to basically die, right?
Dak you have to do this. You have to do this now when we look at CD lamb situation CD lambs
Situation is unique because with it being once again a defensive heavy drive class
That means that there's not going to be as many notable
Receivers as it has been, you know for the last few years now
So I think teams will be will be more willing to
To sort of you know make a crazy trade for someone like a CD lamb compared to trying to take a risk on someone, you know
In the draft that's just how I that that's just how I feel it honestly
And then not to mention the value for CD lamb is a little bit higher now
Than what it has been lately because why CD lamb is still an elite receiver
He still is and you know granted you're gonna have to pay him a whole lot of money
But that's the general norm now for receivers you're gonna have to pay them a lot of money
You're just gonna have to and so there are going to be teams who they feel like they're in a situation where they just need a
Receiver, you know to take them, you know take them where where they want to go
And so a team will be willing to mortgage that for receiver like a CD lamb compared to
Trying to go through the draft or trying to get somebody through free agency or another trade or whatever the case may be right
Because whether we want to admit it or not
CD lamb is in the driver's seat for his situation, right?
Even though yes, he wants to reset the market. I don't think the Cowboys are going to be willing to do that
I just don't because again, you have a lot of people that you have to sign
You have a lot of a lot of question marks that you have to answer and you know, you could probably get another first round pick
Well, you probably get of course the first round pick
You probably get a day two in a day three pick for CD lamb
You can do that and if you get that you'll have two first round picks
You and you'll probably have you know some other high picks that you can use to really retool this this
Roster like how it really needs to be done
That's what you have to do at this point because if you don't do it guess what's gonna happen
You're gonna continue to try to reshuffle the deck and guess what you're always gonna lose
That's what it is now when you look at Michael Parsons Michael Parsons situation is a little bit unique in in itself because
Although yes, he is one of the best, you know young pass rusher
The question is what is his value? What is his market?
Right, is it something around Nick bosses? Is it something around TJ Watts?
Is it something around miles gear? Is it something around Max Crosby's?
That's the real question because even with his situation, you know
He plays a position that is starting to be valued more by GM's by coaches and you know by by defensive coordinators
If you get a Michael Parsons on one of these other teams, you got problems
You do you pair him up with all with any of these other pass rusters? That is a problem
But again, the problem is how much money is he gonna want?
That is the question for all of these three and granted, you know
Dak is trying to be very cordial about it, but at the same time be honest about it
You know, he's definitely said, you know, the right things and whatnot, but I do feel like
He is definitely basically saying, you know, the ball is not in my court. The ball is in the Cowboys court
I want to be here. It's a matter of do they want me to be here, right?
And so the real question is if it was me personally who would I trade me personally?
I would trade CD land. I would trade CD CD lamb
I would try to figure out what I can do with with Michael Parsons
If I can't do anything with Michael Parsons, then I'll trade him as well and I will keep Dak
That's what I would do at this point because whether we want to admit it or not
Guess what?
There's still a lot of turnover for a lot of receivers coming out coming out the league well coming out of college now
It's basically somewhat of a factory at this point because you're seeing receivers elite receivers who are you know
Being drafted in the later parts of the draft now, right and are becoming, you know instant
Playmakers week one, right?
So, you know, you have that on top of when you when you bring someone in like a Bill Belichick
Guess what? He's going to coach and he's going to build up these players, right?
That if you don't believe me look at some of those defenses
When you know during the Patriots dynasty a lot of those players were players that were drafted in the later parts of the draft
Or undrafted free agents or just you know, well just anybody, right?
That's that that's who they were and Bill Belichick molded them and made them into, you know, great players
Okay, so, you know, you could probably get you could probably get almost two first-round picks for between
You know CD lamb and Michael Parsons and then you know other picks because that saves you money
But at the same time that allows you to go into figure out whatever else you want to do because whether we want to admit it or not
The next big quarterback prospect that you know people will probably be
Head over heels for it's probably going to be Archie Manning and that's going to be a few years from now
So, you know, we don't have a whole lot of great quarterback classes
You know moving forward we just don't and granted the only two people that everyone's probably to be talking about is who cars and back
And Quinn Ewers, that's it people have basically shut off the door, right?
I mean, but but at the same time if you do get a rookie quarterback that does give you more flexibility
So it's a matter of, you know, who can you move?
Who can who can you not move and then not to mention and I just realized it that guy has a no trade clause
So that's even more in his favor, right?
Because now guess what they can't move off of him without his approval if he doesn't like that team. Guess what? He'll say no
so it's a really messed up situation for the Cowboys and
You know, it really do suck. But guess what?
It's the Cowboys. The Cowboys put themselves in this situation. So guess what? You gotta do it. You gotta deal with it
You gotta deal with it. You gotta deal with it. You gotta do you with it?
Because guess what you guys you talked about. Oh, we're America's team. Oh, we're gonna win the Super Bowl
This is gonna be our gear. No, it's not it's gonna be the year where you guys crumble in the fall
And I'm gonna be right there already got my favorite chair already got my popcorn all ready to go
And I'm just gonna end it there because if I'm not I'm just gonna continue to clown on the Cowboys
