Bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert folks, that's right.
We have to end the week with another bag alert.
I predicted it.
I called it.
You already know we're going to have to go over it.
Okay.
Creed Humphrey resets the center market and we got to ask a few questions.
We really do.
We really got to ask a few questions.
All right.
Is there more pressure on Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson disease?
Let me know.
Okay.
Should the 49ers value extending Trent Williams or Brandy Niu?
Now that one, that's going to be a controversial one, but it's okay.
We got to go.
We have to talk about it.
Okay.
As well as the Omar Khan reads to try to upgrade the receiver position to keep this very light
and we're going to keep this very, very, very, very condensed.
Okay.
Because we just gave y'all, okay, almost an hour episode.
We're just going to keep this one real light just to end the week right.
Okay.
All of this and more on the 27th episode of the football junkies podcast.
I'm your host.
Okay.
You're a GM who still does not have a job right now, but currently is taking interviews
and is also giving advice to current GMs right now.
Three teams.
Okay.
Two of those teams are super bowl caliber teams.
Okay.
As well as your chief, the head of the table, Bagrod Domes, as well as your chief bag meteorologists.
You already know what I'm getting ready to say.
I am your host, Kale.
Let's lock in.
All right, folks, let's just get into the information.
Let's talk about the bag alerts.
Okay.
We're not going to keep this episode very long and drawn out.
We're going to hit everything that we need to hit and then we're going to let it go.
Okay.
So, Queen Humphrey Center for the Chiefs.
Okay.
Super Bowl reigning chiefs.
Okay.
I have to put that in there and for it to be signed a four year 72 million dollar deal
to stay with the chiefs, of course.
So let's just go over the financials.
Okay.
So he gets 50 million in total guarantees and he's making about 18 million a year according
to who?
Spot right.
Shout out to spot right now when we break things down, right?
So these are stats from last season.
Of course, there's no stats for this season because season hasn't even started yet, but
supposed to be starting in two weeks.
Right.
So he was first in past blocking snaps.
He was first in when it comes to pressure, pressure rates.
He was first in one on one pressure rates.
He was seventh in sack rates and he was third average.
I can't even speak.
He was third when it comes to average time to pressure.
Okay.
According to NFL pro, there's a lot of new staff.
So it's still a little bit of a learning curve with everything, but I'm going to learn
your own learn.
So when we look at it, this was very respected.
Lee Humphrey is definitely a top five center in the league.
I mean, let's be real here.
It was expected he was going to reset the market.
Same thing with people like Tyler Linderbaum and all the other really good centers that
are in the league.
So I mean, granted the market force centers aren't that expensive.
So it's a little bit easier to digest compared to the receiver market, the quarterback market,
the patch rusher market, the quarterback market, all those different types of markets.
So all in all, it's a really good deal.
Creed Humphrey has definitely been an anchor for that offensive line since being drafted
by the chiefs if we can be real here.
So all in all, it was a great signing.
It really was.
I mean, 18 million a year.
That's good.
That's really good.
Now, if I can throw in my bag of diamonds hat for a quick second, do I believe someone
is going to crest that 20 million pretty soon?
Yes.
I think it's going to be either Tyler Linderbaum or I think Ryan Kelly is probably going to
get one more big payday.
I do.
I do believe that because there, how can I say this without trying to be disrespectful?
Centers are they aren't as valued as other positions, but when a team has a premier,
you know, great center on their team, most likely they're going to stay there for the
rest of their career.
Right?
It's rare that you see centers, you know, really great centers actually, you know, leave,
you know, leave the team that they, you know, that they were drafted to or, you know, signed
to or whatever the case may be.
Right?
And, you know, this is, this is what it is.
This is what it is.
Creed Humphrey has been one of the best centers since coming into the league.
You are talking about someone who has been consistent.
You're talking about somebody who, you know, has, has done it all.
You really, you rarely see him, you know, give up, give up on plays.
You rarely do.
He is consistent.
He holds his own against some of the best interior defensive linemen and he does it well.
So this is just him, you know, getting fairly compensated for that.
So congratulations to him.
Now on to the juicy topics.
Okay.
This is a topic that I've definitely been thinking about because let's be real here.
Aaron Rodgers has been getting a little bit more slack and a little bit more leeway compared
to Aaron Rodgers, especially from certain people who will remain anonymous.
Let's just call it for what it is, right?
Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, you know, two quarterbacks who are from the older generation
of quarterbacks who are still trying to hang on, who still feel like they can play at the
league level.
And that's perfectly fine.
It really is.
However, I feel like we are diminishing one quarterback and continuing to praise another
quarterback when that other quarterback has not done anything since, you know, changing
to another team.
Now, granted, granted, he could not control the injury.
He couldn't.
But at the same time, we are hyping him up and putting him on a level that he has not
even reached in a few years, right, compared to Russell Wilson, who basically, you know,
it's just, you know, just a complete media beatdown, you know, oh, he's not supposed
to be calm.
He's not supposed to be this down the other.
Just like, bro, it's the preseason, right?
It'll be different if this was, you know, the regular season and, you know, your and
the team is on like a three game losing streak or whatever, then it's like, okay, you needed,
you need a, there need to be some urgency in your voice.
You need to be some urgency in your tone in the message that you're trying to convey,
you know, not only to the media, but to the team, right?
And you know, Russell Wilson has always been somebody who can control the media.
He always does.
He's not someone that uses his emotions.
He's not someone that, you know, you don't know how things are going to be when it comes
to reporters and different types of things.
He is someone who you may have to try to decipher exactly what he's saying, but he's always
going to be, he's always going to handle the media thing very well.
That's one thing that you can't take away from Russell Wilson.
Whereas the other person, you don't know exactly what you're getting, right?
You don't know if you're getting someone that's going to be professional or you're going to
get someone, you know, has a 10-4 hat on.
That's just what it is, right?
And you know, when we look at their numbers, right, their numbers are somewhat similar.
They're very close, honestly.
So let's just look at them.
Okay.
So Russell Wilson's last full season, 2023, of course, last season, he had 297 completions,
447 attempts, 3070 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, eight interceptions, a 98 pass, a 10-4 pass,
a rating, and he averaged 6.9 yards per attempt.
Cool, right?
Now let's look at Errodgers, okay?
Errodgers last season was 2022, okay?
350 completions, 542 attempts, 3,695 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, a
91.1 pass rating, and he averaged 6.8 yards per attempt.
Now, the only difference, honestly speaking, in their numbers is Errodgers probably threw
for more passing yards, just a few more passing yards than what Russell Wilson did, right?
But they have the same identical touchdowns, except Errodgers threw more interceptions,
and their pass rating is somewhat close, right?
And whether we want to imagine it or not, Russell Wilson, he didn't, the last season
was not necessarily a bad season, it was just a, it didn't meet the standard that we always
see when it comes to Russell Wilson, right?
Compared to any other quarterback, right?
Like we're comparing Russell Wilson's stats from last year to, I don't know, Daniel Jones,
Trevor Lawrence, or you know, some no name or whatever the case may be, of course Russell
Wilson's numbers are going to look a whole lot better compared to who, the other person,
right?
And so I feel like, you know, there's more pressure on Errodger than it is on Russell
Wilson, because why?
The Jets moved a lot to get Errodgers, not to mention, they also got his old, you know,
offensive coordinator, his little towel boy, and then they got some of his receivers, Alan
Luzard and Randall Cobb, and you know, they brought all of those people in with him, right?
You had all this, you know, this big media buzz, you know, they were on hard knocks and
you know, all these, you know, different types of things.
So the pressure is on Errodgers, you know, to show something.
It is, because granted, they've done a lot.
Well, I wouldn't, to my standards, I don't feel like they've done a lot, but in their
eyes, they feel like they've done a lot for, you know, for this team, right?
From trying to, you know, rebuild the offensive line, and you know, they get the left tackle
from Penn State, and then they get Tyrone, Smith, and one now, they're trying to invest
more into the offensive line, you know, try to protect Errodgers, and you know, they're
just trying to do a few different things just to, you know, try to only make things better
for Errodgers, but somewhat try to take the load off of Errodgers.
But at the end of the day here, folks, you know, a lot has been moved for Errodgers.
A lot, you know, the expectations were set high for Errodgers, right?
You, you know, there were a lot of people that were saying, oh, Errodgers are going
to, you know, take them to a Super Bowl and this, then the other, and blah, blah, blah,
blah, and it's just like, no, that's not a guarantee.
It's never a guarantee, right?
And you know, Errodgers is in a place where, you know, either one or two things are going
to happen.
Either you're going to have a dynamic season that's going to go down in the history books
or you're going to have a season where everyone is basically going to be like, bro, just retire,
just retire, just, just, you know, find, find a little place on the beach and relax for
the rest of your life.
Okay.
Sure, you can still throw the ball, you know, to some kids in the neighborhood or whatever
the case may be.
But, you know, as far as you playing, you know, professional football, suiting up every Sunday
and playing, do not do that, right?
That is what is, and in some ways, it's in somewhat of the same situation for Russell
Wilson as well, because, you know, the Steelers signed him to a vet minimum, right?
And the Broncos basically were like, to hell with it, we'll eat, you know, the biggest
dead cap hit in NFL history, just so we never see you again, right?
And granted, some of that was because of Sean Payton and, you know, his vision and whatnot.
But I feel like, you know, the temperature in the locker room for the Broncos, when
it came to Russell Wilson, started to hit a point that, you know, if you, if you were
around when the Legion of Boom, you know, was like, was like really up there and a lot
of people were talking about them and they were supposed to be like the next big dynasty.
And you know, the whole debacle with the, you know, with the Super Bowling whatnot, it
sort of gave you somewhat of a similar vibe, but it didn't.
And so, you know, here we are, right?
You know, Russ is trying to change his image.
He's trying to show people that, hey, I'm still the Russell Wilson of old.
I can still do this, this and this, but it's like, are you?
Are you?
Because it's easier.
It's easier for us to trick our minds and to tell ourselves that we are the same person
that we were, you know, the person that was able to do, you know, all these various different
things.
But the fact of the matter is there comes a time and point where we all have to have
that honest, honest discussion with ourselves that, hey, I've lost my step, right?
I lost a little pep in my step.
I don't know how much I've lost, but I've lost a little bit.
Okay.
I've lost a little bit of, I can't do this anymore, or I can only do it a few times or
whatever the case may be, right?
And that's perfectly fine.
But, you know, the pressure, the pressure is on the both of them to show something, right?
Because Russ is trying to fight for another big deal, another opportunity to be a starting
quarterback.
Aaron Rodgers is somewhat finding of a spot to see, you know, if he's not going to get
pushed into retirement at this point.
That's what it is.
That's really what it is.
It's nothing, you know, super hard or super complex to understand or whatnot.
It's none of those things.
And to any person that says that, you know, there's no pressure on Aaron Rodgers or your
liar, the Jets moved having an Earth to get him.
They did.
And they carried on some of his teammates with him as well and some of the coaching staff
as well with him as well.
A lot of players decided to go to the Jets because they were thinking, oh, with Aaron
Rodgers being there, this is going to change everything.
And so far hasn't lived up to those expectations nor those standards.
So again, I will continue to say that the Jets are not a Super Bowl team.
Now that defense, that defense is a very potent defense.
That's a defense that you don't want to see in January.
Okay.
And when it comes to that offense, I just don't see it.
I just don't.
Even with the decision of Aaron Rodgers not even taking at least a few snaps in the pre-season
game, I would have had him do it because he needs to get into a stride going into the
season instead of just, you know, you not knowing exactly what version you're getting
out of it.
You just need to do that.
If Patrick Mahomes can go in for a few drives, if Jarragov can do it, if every other starting
quarterback can do it, what is it?
What is the exception for you, Aaron?
What is the exception for you?
You haven't.
Okay, granted, you've won a bunch of MVPs, but you haven't won a championship lately.
You haven't even though you had an opportunity to do it, but you choked that away.
Right?
So exactly what makes you so high and mighty that you are above, you know, taking a few
snaps and building that chemistry with your players compared to just saying, I'm okay.
And we, I don't need to do that because you know why?
Because I'm Aaron Rodgers and I don't need to do that.
I'm okay.
I'm him.
No, no, you need this more than everybody else does.
You do.
And it's okay if you don't want to admit it.
It's perfectly fine, but you do need it.
Now, moving on to the other topics that are going on.
We're actually breezing by this pretty good, but I keep telling you guys this is going
to be a pretty short episode.
It's not going to be drawn out.
Just wanted to hit all the focal points.
And you know, if anything crazy happens, you know, of course, we'll, you know, talk about
it.
And of course, it'll be an episode about it, but you know, just want to keep things fairly
light for you guys, but you know, there was definitely a question that came up that I
saw.
I think it was either on Twitter or Instagram and it basically asked, well, I think it was
talking about Trent Williams, right?
And you know, there are people that were saying, Oh, no, they don't need to do anything with
Trent Williams to stand the other blah, blah, blah.
And I'm just like, do you guys not know who Trent Williams is?
You guys not get who Trent Williams is?
Trent Williams is going to go down in history as one of the best, one of the greatest left
tackles in NFL history.
He is going to rub elbows with Jonathan Ogden.
If you don't know who Jonathan Ogden is, YouTube him.
YouTube him.
You'll see.
And you have Brandon Iewik, who basically is this disgruntled receiver who feels like
you know, he's being screwed over when it's like, bro, the team originally offered you
26.
Okay, cool.
You wasn't, you feel like you were worth more than that.
That's perfectly fine.
I'm not going to argue with you on that.
Then you go from that to, you know, you requested train.
Okay, cool.
The 49ers, you know, take call from the Patriots, the Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cool.
The Patriots were offering you 32 million.
You didn't want that.
The Browns were offering a Mario Cooper and a little bit of money.
You didn't want that either.
You keep teetering and tottering.
When if you want to go to Pittsburgh or not, same thing with Washington as well with their
whole debacle now with Jahan Dotson getting traded, right?
So as right, you cannot continue to say, you know, you can't continue to have, you know,
report you wants to stay here.
You know, he moved this family here and this and the other blah, blah, blah.
And that's the case and sign the papers.
Sign the papers.
Why are you taking so long to come to a resolution?
Either you want to be here or you want to go somewhere else.
It's a simple decision.
It's a yes or no.
That's it.
It's not hard.
So I don't understand why the world has this thing, you know, basically drawn out going
into the regular season.
I don't get it.
The 49ers have literally been over backwards, forwards, side to side, left to right, spin
around, do the spinaroni and more for Brandon I.U.
They've done a lot for Brandon I.U.
And you know, they're probably, you know, frustrated to the point where they're just
like to hell with it, to hell with it.
Is it really worth trying to keep him?
If it means that, you know, we're basically having to go through hell and high water just
to please this fool in my eyes.
And this is just me personally.
I know I'm probably going to get a whole lot of slack for it.
To me, it is easier to replace and to find a Brandon I.U. tire than it is a Trent Williams.
I'm going to say that again because you probably didn't get that.
So I'm going to say it a little bit closer in the microphone so you can really hear exactly
what I'm saying.
It is easier to find a Brandon I.U. type player than it is a Trent Williams.
Okay.
And the reason why I say that is because you can somewhat mold a player into the skill set
that Brandon I.U.
has, right?
Trent Williams, that is natural.
That is God giving ability with Trent Williams.
You are talking about somebody who when he was drafted to Washington, he was an anchor
on that offensive line.
And I'm talking about an offensive line that didn't have a lot of star power, that didn't
have a lot of upside.
He was the upside, right?
And, you know, of course things happen with them and they handled a situation, you know,
the wrong way.
And he basically won it out and he went to San Francisco and he made, you know, San Francisco's
run game, pass game, just a whole entire offense, a whole lot better, right?
And so this was expected for him to ask for more money once Christian Derisaw got paid.
A little bit more of an easier process to figure out a, you know, figure out a way with
Trent Williams' deal because he already has a preexisting deal.
So all in all, he probably just want more guaranteed money just to up the, you know,
the overall number, which is a little bit more easier to do compared to Brandon Iewick
where you're basically, okay, the offer is 26 million.
Okay, he doesn't want 26 million.
Okay, we're going to up the offer by 2 million.
Okay, he still doesn't want, okay.
We're going to up the offer 2 more million.
Okay, he still doesn't want it.
Okay, we're going to up the offer 3 more million, right?
It's a lot easier to do something with Trent Williams than it is with Brandon Iewick, especially
with reports coming out that basically the only thing that's stopping Brandon Iewick
from inking this deal is he wants more guaranteed money at the end of his contract.
Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother, brother.
Nobody has that.
Well, no, we'll actually know what no, I lied.
There are some people that do have it, but even then, most of the times people don't
even see the end of the contract.
Most of the times they're traded by the third year, the second or third year of the contract.
We're being real here.
So again, as I've said before in multiple episodes prior to this one, something has to
break at this point, right?
You're traveling with the team.
You're not wearing any of the gear.
You look like you're not interested in the team.
Go, go.
No one is stopping you.
No one is holding your hand and saying, Oh, Brandon, don't go, don't go.
We miss you all so much.
No one is saying that, bro.
If you go and go somewhere, go somewhere because right now the team is trying to focus and
try to prepare themselves for the gauntlet that they are going to, I can't even speak
because I'm so upset for the gauntlet that they have to prepare themselves in order to
get to the Super Bowl and to wait.
They have to prepare themselves for that.
And right now this story has basically been dragging on since the end of the last Super
Bowl.
It's drawn out.
People are tired of it.
People are talking about, people are tired of talking about it.
People are tired of speculating about it.
People are tired of just talking about various rumors.
Either you're going to put your name on that piece of paper and stay with the San Francisco
49ers and take that picture that everybody, that every single person does, or you're going
to be holding up a jersey of another team during a press conference.
It's simple as that.
Simple as that.
And if I'm Kyle Shanahan, I'm probably thinking the same thing.
Listen, there's supposed to be a few good receivers that are going to be coming out next year.
Guess what?
We can get them.
It won't hurt us.
We won't lose the inch of sleep off of it at all compared to going through this foolishness
with somebody who, you know, he's basically nitpicking at every single little thing and
it's like, bro, to stop.
Stop.
Because even then, if, you know, when we look at the stats for, you know, for both Brandon
Iewik and Trent Williams, right?
Brandon Iewik was second in receiving yards on 10 plus air yard targets, right?
He averaged 3.2 yards per route, which was, which was the fourth most in a single season
since 2018.
He gained 696 yards on intermediate targets, 101 more than any other receiver.
Granted, he should be fairly compensated because he did have a great season.
That was the best season of his career so far.
And he does deserve to be fairly compensated, but it comes in time and point where a team
has to make a decision.
Either we have to pay you a little bit less just so we can be able to stay competitive
or we just have to move on from you.
That's just what it is.
And the 49ers continue to try to buy a Super Bowl when it doesn't work like that.
And I've said this in, I think the last, what was it, two episodes, either two episodes
or three episodes ago, you can't make every single star player the highest paid.
You can't reset the market for every single person.
You just can't.
They reset the market for Fred Warren.
They reset the market for Nick Bosa.
They reset the market for Kittle.
They reset the market again for Christian McCaffrey.
They're about to do it for Trent Williams.
I think they also did it for Debo Samuel at that time.
You know they're going to have to do it for Brock Purdy.
At some point, the line has to be drawn in the same.
It has to.
And if he's not willing to comply, oh well, ship him.
You won't lose an inch of sleep off of it.
Ship him because you in the best time on this one, time on this one that I've ever heard
was we want, what is it?
We want not survivors.
Was it participants?
I think it's participants.
We want participants, not hostages.
That's what Mike Tomlin says.
We want people that are going to participate and not hostages.
So if you feel like you are a hostage in this situation, move somewhere else.
Kick rocks.
Now when we look at Trent Williams, you know, stats and whatnot, the 49ers have ran more
to the left and have done this more frequently and more successfully since Trent Williams
has been traded to the 49ers.
And he's the only old lineman on that team that ranks top 15 in pressure rates at left
tackle and he's allowed the fourth lowest pressure rate at tackle.
That's a whole frame right there, folks.
That's a bona fide first ballot hall of famer right there.
That is something that is a difference maker right there from the moment that he was traded
to the 49ers.
That was a difference maker.
That is someone that you cannot find in the draft, that you cannot find in free agency,
that you cannot find via trade.
That is a one in a million type of player.
That is God giving ability.
Brand IE that's a system.
That's a system.
I'm just going to end it there.
Now onto the last topic.
Oh wow.
20 minutes.
Okay.
Pretty good.
We're on a good time.
We got to talk about Omar.
We we come on, Steve, we got to have an honest conversation about Omar Khan.
Okay.
My end and I'm again, I'm going to try to be as non-biased as I possibly can.
I'm going to try to remove all emotion out of it.
But if it happens, it happens.
Okay.
I think a question that thing that needs to be asked is, did Omar Khan reach when it
came to trying to, you know, upgrade the receiver position?
And I would say yes.
And the reason why I say that is because you were in this situation where you had Deontay
Johnson, a veteran receiver on your team, who's probably looking for just an extra little
bit of money and who basically voiced his opinion about the current conundrum that was
with the quarterback situation and with the offensive play calling.
And they were just like, to hell with you.
We're going to ship you somewhere else.
Right.
And they were thinking, okay, maybe we'll have a chance to get one of these other receivers.
You didn't.
You were supposed to have a visit with Mike Williams.
Guess what?
He signed with the Jets.
Tyler Boyd took less money to be with the Titans.
Right.
Who else?
Cortland Sutton.
I mean, he was on a little bit of a holdout situation with the Broncos.
Guess what they did?
They just gave him a little bit more extra money and guarantees and whatnot.
You've basically been the only team that's been trying to hold on to this whole brand
and IU situation.
Right.
At some point, you have to call this a fail.
It was a fail.
It was a failed attempt.
You never should have did it because now you don't create it this big hole on the team
that you don't, that you've tried to fill it with other lower tier receivers thinking
that it's going to do it and it's not.
You got Scotty Miller.
You got Quest Walkins and a bunch of other receivers thinking that they're going to be
able to do what Deontay Johnson did and he can't.
They can't.
They just can't.
Right.
You know, sometimes we have to look at it from a player's perspective.
Deontay Johnson, you know, his most success came from when he had who?
Big Ben.
Right.
And, you know, that was, that was different.
It was a different, you know, way that he was getting the ball and, you know, the way
that he was getting fed and whatnot compared to with, you know, Kenny Pickett and Mitchell
Biscay and Mason Rudolph, it was a little bit difficult for him because why, you know,
people are learning, you know, the offensive system and, you know, different, you know,
various changes and all and whatnot.
And then, you know, he did have chemistry with Mason and then, you know, the media asked
him, like, you know, if you could make a decision on who would you want to be the next, you
know, next year's quarterback, he said Mason and you can't hate him for, he's just being
honest in that moment because why?
He was able to get the ball more when he was with Mason than he was with Mitchell Biscay
or Kenny Pickett.
That's just what it is.
The tape doesn't lie, folks.
If you look at the tape of Kenny Pickett when he was with the Steelers, a lot of times Deontay
Johnson was open.
A lot of times George Pickens was open.
A lot of times Pat Farmer was open.
Right.
But we have to call a spade a spade in this type of situation.
And granted, I understand Omar was thinking he could probably be the con artist and all
those different types of things.
But the fact of the matter is you have now made a hole so big that you're basically hoping
and praying that somebody, that another receiver basically becomes disgruntled and wants out.
And even then, they probably wouldn't even want to go to the Steelers anyway because
we're not a Super Bowl team nor are we a playoff team at this point.
We're not.
And I understand there are people that are saying, we should have gave up a first round
pick to seal the deal with Brandon Iewick and whatnot or we should have gave up George
Pickens to get Brandon Iewick.
But clearly they didn't.
And it shows.
It shows.
And now they're in a situation where the season is about to start in less than two weeks and
he don't have a true number one receiver on your team.
You have George Pickens who's now the one.
But even then, can we say that he can handle the workload that comes with being a number
one receiver?
You have Van Jefferson.
You have Calvin Austin.
You have Scotty Miller and company.
That's what you have.
And you know, to the people that say, well, what about the Vante Adams?
The Vante Adams wants to win.
The Vante Adams wants a Super Bowl.
We are not there.
So of course he's not going to come to us, right?
Unless it's a player who he really doesn't care about winning a championship, but he
just wants to be put in a better situation than it.
Okay, maybe something.
It's going to be a situation where they're going to be like, oh, yeah, I want to go to
the stairs.
I want to go to the stairs.
I don't know about that, brother.
I don't know about that.
Brandon, I understand that being a GM is hard.
As a fellow former GM and one down, I get all those different types of things.
I understand that you may with on certain situations and whatnot, and you have to take
your Ls respectfully.
But you know, when you don't have to do it, then don't do it, right?
Because the Panthers were already going to release Dante Jackson.
So you just gave them a draft pick just because, right?
And then you gave them, you know, a top receiver as well.
So, you know, we, we whiffed, we whiffed, we whiffed.
And now they're going to have to hope, pray, you know, fingers crossed and a four leaf
clover and a rabbit's foot in, you know, a leprechaun and more just to see if they can
get a true number one receiver on this team.
But that's all I'm going to say with that.
I told you guys, I'm going to keep it light and whatnot.
So I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, hold, hold myself to that.
