00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,760
Zack Martin is retiring, folks.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,260
That's right, after 11 seasons with the Cowboys,

4
00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:11,000
Zack Martin is hanging it up, okay?

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,880
So, as I continue to say, every single time,

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,680
everything happens before I record,

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,080
while I'm recording, or after I'm recording.

8
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,320
This is definitely a curve ball.

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,280
We have a lot to talk about with that,

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,980
as well as the divisional rodeo continues,

11
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:31,980
but this time we're in the AFC East, to be specific.

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000
We got a lot of controversy, we got a lot of things

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,520
we gotta talk about, okay?

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,640
The state of the Jets, Dolphins, Bills, and Patriots.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,000
Best believe this is gonna be a really good episode.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,360
So guess what, you already know my spill, all right?

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,240
You already know, this is the 69th episode

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,800
of the Football Junkies podcast, okay?

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,240
I am your host with the most, okay?

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,820
I am your chief, that's right, chief, Bagro Domus, okay?

21
00:00:56,820 --> 00:00:59,880
I am your chief, head of the table,

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,520
anything and everything related to the bag and more, okay?

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,680
I am currently your GM, who currently

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,680
is not on a team right now, but don't you worry about it,

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,040
okay, don't you worry about it, okay?

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,160
But guess what, I am all these things and more,

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,440
but most importantly, the most important thing

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,240
that you must remember is, I am your host, Kale.

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,960
You already know how these things are about to go.

30
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,300
This episode's gonna be full of twists, turns,

31
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,880
hot takes, truth bombs, all of that and more, okay?

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,080
So guess what, on three, one, two, three, let's lock in.

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,500
["The Big Game Show Theme"]

34
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:37,000
["The Big Game Show Theme"]

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,520
All right, folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,600
of everything that is going on in the league right now.

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,400
So, one better way to start this episode

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,320
than with doing something that we haven't done

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,760
since around this time last year, and that is,

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,640
bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert,

41
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,640
bag alert, folks, that's right,

42
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,760
Elijah Molding gets the bag, folks, okay?

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,960
Three years, 18.5 million, okay?

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,660
13.5 in total guarantees, he will be making

45
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:31,440
roughly around 6.1 million a year.

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,880
So, all in all, what better way to start things off, okay?

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,520
So, Elijah Molding was originally with the Titans,

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,260
got traded to the Chargers,

49
00:02:42,260 --> 00:02:45,280
and literally had his best season so far.

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,780
I mean, the stats speak for himself.

51
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:49,520
Now, the stats aren't something where it's like,

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,280
oh man, he's a old pro or anything like that,

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,000
but he had 43 solo tackles, three picks,

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,060
and seven pass deflections.

55
00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:00,440
Like, that's actually pretty good, I'm not gonna lie.

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,320
It's not something where it's like,

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,040
it shows you how much of a role he played

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,200
in this Chargers defense.

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480
So, all in all, it's a really good deal.

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,440
He gets paid while the Chargers keep somebody on their team

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,620
that is a really productive young player.

62
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:19,100
So, all in all, congratulations to him.

63
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,760
Now, moving to Zack Martin, okay?

64
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400
We all know he's going to be our first battle hallfamer.

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,760
We all know he's gonna go down in history

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,440
as one of the greatest offensive linemen of this era.

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,800
Whenever you was going up against the Cowboys,

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,560
you were always going to see Zack Martin.

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200
You're talking about somebody that has been consistent.

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,320
You're talking about somebody that has been loyal

71
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,600
to the Cowboys this entire time.

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
I didn't expect Zack Martin to retire.

73
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720
I thought at best he was probably gonna play

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,600
maybe one or two more years on a competitor.

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
I think he wanted to in his career

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,200
with possibly maybe experiencing winning football

77
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,160
or maybe try to win a Super Bowl at best.

78
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,960
But I guess he probably realized,

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,500
listen, I'm getting up in age.

80
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,080
I have nothing else to prove.

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,120
I know I'm one of the greatest offensive linemen

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,640
in NFL history.

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,800
And I know I'm walking into Canton.

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,640
So, I have nothing else to prove.

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760
All in all, congratulations to him.

86
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Let's get into this division here.

87
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
You know, AFC East, yeah.

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
Man, so people are not gonna like me

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,520
for what I have to say, but it's okay.

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,540
It's okay, we are going to get through this.

91
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:33,200
So, let's start with the Jets, okay?

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,060
So, they're gonna have 15 million in cash base

93
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:41,060
with a rollover cap of $345,919.

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,240
You're gonna have free agents such as Hasan Reddick,

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,360
DJ Reed, Tyler Conklin, Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses,

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Javon Kinn-Law, Solomon Thomas, Chuck Clark,

97
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,220
Isaiah Oliver, just to name a few.

98
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:55,120
Now, when we come to their draft picks,

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560
you're gonna have your first, your second, your third,

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760
your fourth, two fifth round picks,

101
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,760
and two sixth round picks, all right?

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,260
Your positions of need, quarterback, tackle,

103
00:05:05,260 --> 00:05:07,360
outside linebacker, corner,

104
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
tight end, safety, defensive tackle.

105
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,960
So, all in all, these are very manageable needs, okay?

106
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,680
The only pressing need that they really have is quarterback.

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,120
And even then, I think they could really try to make a push

108
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,580
for someone like adjusting fields, right?

109
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:30,240
Going after someone like, I don't know, Russell Wilson,

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,520
or Kirk Cousins, or Sam Darnold, or Daniel Jones,

111
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,820
will not solve the answer, okay?

112
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:39,040
Trying to draft one this year

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,060
will not solve the problem either.

114
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:45,540
I think at best, their quarterback is next year.

115
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:48,280
I think this year, they should not take a swing

116
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,200
at quarterback, and I think they should just try

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,300
to build everything else so that the only thing

118
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:56,800
that you need is the quarterback,

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,440
instead of trying to piecemeal this thing.

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Because, remember, this offense is trying to recover

121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,320
from when they had Aaron Rodgers.

122
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,540
This entire team, actually, is trying to recover

123
00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:12,440
from the Aaron Rodgers situation.

124
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,940
And, granted, he wasn't there for a long time,

125
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:18,480
but his impact has affected that locker room.

126
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
And so, now that you have a new regime in place,

127
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,000
now you basically have to rewrite those wrong.

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,840
So, you have a few options when it comes

129
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,480
to these different positions of need, okay?

130
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,760
So, tackle.

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,160
You can go when you can address it early in the draft.

132
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120
You can get someone like a Will Campbell,

133
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,440
or a Kelvin Banks, or Josh Simmons,

134
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,280
or any of those different types of guys.

135
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,400
Gray Zable, if I'm not mistaken.

136
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,480
I think he's a tackle as well,

137
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640
but he can play interior offensive line as well.

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,900
But you have options.

139
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:54,820
Just as you can go and you can get you

140
00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:58,260
a veteran offensive lineman if you wanna take that route.

141
00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:00,620
Because most likely, there's gonna be at least

142
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:03,840
a few line-free agents that are gonna wanna follow

143
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,360
Aaron Glenn into the Jets.

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,840
So, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them

145
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,160
is like a rotational piece of an offensive lineman

146
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,000
or whatever.

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,940
I wouldn't be surprised, honestly.

148
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:17,360
Now, outside linebacker, you can draft them,

149
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
but the question is how high are you

150
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520
on the outside linebackers, right?

151
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Because to me, I think the number one,

152
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,400
well, not really the number one,

153
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,280
but like, well, you know what, yeah, he is.

154
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,260
The number one outside linebacker to me is Mike Green.

155
00:07:32,260 --> 00:07:34,360
And then it's, you know, Jalen Walker,

156
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840
the Abdul-Carter's, the, what's the dude,

157
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,200
James Pierce's, you know, junior.

158
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,600
It's those guys.

159
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800
But the question is how high do you value them?

160
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Do you value them high enough that you would

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,600
take them seventh overall?

162
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Or would you rather go and get you

163
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,520
a veteran outside linebacker just so, you know,

164
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,640
it's a little bit cheaper and you can, you know,

165
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,460
cut the edges when it comes to the building of this team?

166
00:08:00,460 --> 00:08:02,400
Corner, you're gonna have to address

167
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Corner in this draft because you're not gonna pay

168
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360
DJ Reed top dollar money and you're gonna pay

169
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Sauce Gardener potentially this year or next year.

170
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160
You're just not gonna take that risk.

171
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280
All in all, I mean, you have options even at Corner.

172
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,120
You have Ezra Thomas, Kobe Bryant,

173
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Quincy Riley, Benjamin Morrison,

174
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,860
Will Johnson, Siobhan Revel, Trey Amos.

175
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:28,960
Like, you have multiple options.

176
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,480
And the beauty of this all is a majority of those corners

177
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,620
are going to fall, unfortunately,

178
00:08:35,620 --> 00:08:39,320
because a lot of them all have the same red flags,

179
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,400
which is what?

180
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,840
Injuries.

181
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,320
So unless they wow people at the combine,

182
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
most likely their draft stock is gonna fall

183
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,780
just a little bit.

184
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,520
Or you can go and you can use your first pick

185
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,040
and you can get someone like a Mason Graham

186
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760
or a Kenneth Grant for your defensive line.

187
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Or Walter Nolan, depending on how high you feel about him.

188
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,560
But even with defensive line, you can double dip.

189
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,320
You can address it in the first round

190
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,000
and then address it in the third or fourth round

191
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,200
if you want to.

192
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,840
There are multiple options at defensive line

193
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,500
that a lot of people are not talking about

194
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:20,320
that I think if you pair them with someone

195
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,340
like a Quinnen Williams, I think this will be

196
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:25,600
a really ferocious defensive line.

197
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,920
Because we just saw in the Super Bowl what happens

198
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,880
when you have a defensive line that is able

199
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,780
to create constant pressure on the quarterback.

200
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:36,320
You can win big games.

201
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Now for tight end, you could get someone

202
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,440
like a Colston Loveland, Harold Fanning Jr.

203
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,040
You can get the tight end from Miami.

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,960
I can't think of his name right now.

205
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,500
You could get Tyler Warren.

206
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,560
Like you have options at tight end.

207
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:50,960
The tight end class, believe it or not,

208
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,080
is actually really good this year.

209
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,280
So I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get one of them.

210
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,120
Now when it comes to safety, you could get Xavier Watts.

211
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,920
You could get, what's his name,

212
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Malachi Starks from Georgia.

213
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,120
You can get this one safety slash DB from South Carolina.

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
I forgot his name, but he's like 6'3",

215
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,320
like 2'30", or something like that.

216
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,320
But he can cover.

217
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Like he can cover tight ends.

218
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,480
He can cover spot receivers.

219
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Like he can do it all.

220
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,240
You have options at safety.

221
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,960
And then not to mention, if you want to,

222
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
you can bring in, you can bring somebody back

223
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840
like a Chuck Clark just for a death piece

224
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,520
if you really want to.

225
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,520
So safety is a position where most likely

226
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,200
at least two or three of those safeties are gonna fall.

227
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,840
Like safeties are not valued as high

228
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,780
as what they probably should be.

229
00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:47,800
So you could definitely get someone like a Malachi Starks

230
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,240
or someone like that in maybe the early second round.

231
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,920
But when we look at their candidates for restructures,

232
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,960
extensions, trades, and cuts,

233
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Garrett Wilson, I feel like he might get traded.

234
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,920
I think Garrett Wilson just wants a new environment.

235
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,320
I think based off of his situation with Aaron Rodgers

236
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,400
and how he wasn't really utilized,

237
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,940
I think he just wants a fresh start altogether.

238
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:15,560
Now when we look at his market value,

239
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,800
it'll be a three year, $69.6 million deal,

240
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,880
which is 23.2 million a year, okay?

241
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,200
Saul Skarner, I expect for him to get an extension

242
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,840
either this year or next year,

243
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,640
but it would be smart to get it this year

244
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,440
because he had somewhat of a down year.

245
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,920
Because if he bounces back and has a better year next year,

246
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,440
you could probably be talking about someone

247
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120
that's gonna reset the market again.

248
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Do you really want to take that risk?

249
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440
Because the Bengals, they're messing themselves up now

250
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,560
because why?

251
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,200
They didn't pay Jamar Chase last year

252
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,520
and allow him to play this year,

253
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,640
and now that he's won the Triple Crown, guess what?

254
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,440
They now have to reset the market for Jamar Chase.

255
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,080
There is no if, ins, or buts about it.

256
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
So at some point, you are going to have to

257
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,360
be maybe a little bit early

258
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,920
when it comes to one of these players, okay?

259
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Now when we look at Saul's market value,

260
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,360
it's three years, 62.3 million, but it's only 20.8 million.

261
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,920
That's not bad.

262
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,520
That's actually really good.

263
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,680
That is a contract that you could work with, okay?

264
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,080
Now when we look at Alan Lazard,

265
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,360
either he's gonna get traded or he's gonna get cut.

266
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680
Me personally, I think he's probably gonna get cut

267
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,120
just so they can just move on for him

268
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,520
because even if he was to be traded,

269
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,560
it's not gonna be for a high pick.

270
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,880
At best, it's gonna be for maybe a fourth, a fifth,

271
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,280
or maybe even a sixth round pick at best.

272
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Breeze Hall, you could give him an extension, okay?

273
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,760
Because for one, his market is gonna be as robust.

274
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,880
And two, you don't have to give him a whole lot of money

275
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,200
because you could pay him while at the same time

276
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,320
draft a running back as well.

277
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Because this running back class is diverse enough

278
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,280
to where you can go and you can get yourself

279
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,240
a very productive running back in the day two and day three slots.

280
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,920
And when we look at Breeze Hall's market value,

281
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,880
it's a four-year, $28.2 million deal,

282
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240
which is only $7.1 million a year.

283
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,280
Not bad.

284
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,560
C.J. Mosley, his situation is a little bit complicated

285
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,480
because of the role that he plays on the team, right?

286
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520
You're one of the pillars on that defense.

287
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,920
So do you want to get rid of him?

288
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Do you want to keep him?

289
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,040
What exactly do you want to do?

290
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Now, if it's me personally, I probably would approach C.J. Mosley

291
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160
and ask him, what do you want to do?

292
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,200
We don't want to make that decision for you.

293
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920
We'll let you make that decision for yourself.

294
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,960
And depending on what he wants to do, you'll do it for him.

295
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,280
Now, if he wants an extension,

296
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,160
at best you'll probably give him a two-year extension.

297
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,120
After that, you just have to let him go.

298
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,280
But if he wants to be traded, trade him.

299
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360
If he wants to be cut, cut him.

300
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,160
Because right now, the Jets have a lot of cleaning up to do.

301
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,640
This is going to be possibly a two or three year mini rebuild.

302
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,800
It's not going to be a super deep rebuild

303
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,680
like what the Patriots are going through.

304
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,080
But you have to clean up all the players

305
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000
that were on the team prior to this point.

306
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
So Al Lazaard and Vonte Adams

307
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
and all those different types of players, okay?

308
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,000
While at the same time figuring out

309
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,680
who do you want to bring back?

310
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,280
It's me personally, maybe I will entertain

311
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,920
maybe bringing back Hassan Reddick.

312
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,920
Maybe I will bring back someone like a Morgan Moses

313
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,760
because he plays such a pivotal role on that offensive line.

314
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,440
You got to bring back at least one or two veterans

315
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,880
for the love.

316
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,360
And Morgan Moses, I think, will probably be the best option.

317
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Hassan Reddick, I don't know.

318
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Because I only say this because of what happened

319
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,640
prior to the season starting.

320
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,200
When he was in a holdout

321
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,080
and there was a bunch of back and forth

322
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280
and the Jets wanted him to practice

323
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
before they started talking about contracts

324
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,480
and Hassan Reddick was like, no.

325
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,680
It was a bunch of back and forth.

326
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,880
So only time will tell with that situation.

327
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Now when we look at the Dolphins,

328
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,760
the Dolphins are already in a bad spot already.

329
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,240
You are negative 7.6 million in the red.

330
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,600
And your rollover cap is only three million.

331
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Even with the boost that you're getting from

332
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,520
the seller cap rising,

333
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,680
that's still not a lot of money to play with.

334
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,760
So most likely you're going to be in the same situation

335
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,320
that the Cowboys is in,

336
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,520
which is not being very active in free agency.

337
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,440
That's part one.

338
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Part two is free agents.

339
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,680
Kendall Fuller, Tyrell Dodson, Raheem Moster,

340
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,000
Kaleus Campbell, Robert Jones, Duke Riley,

341
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Javon Holland, Kendall Lamb, Emmanuel Ogba,

342
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Liam Eichenberg, Elijah Campbell, Anthony Walker Jr.,

343
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,760
Tyler Huntley, Tyrus Bowser, just to name a few.

344
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Now draft picks.

345
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Of course you got your first, your second, your third,

346
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,440
two fourth round picks, two fifth round picks,

347
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,840
and three seventh round picks.

348
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Positions of need, interior offensive line,

349
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480
safety, interior defensive line, corner, receiver,

350
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,320
linebacker, tight end, quarterback, running back, and edge.

351
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Now for all the people that are probably freaking out

352
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280
right now, they're saying, you listed quarterback.

353
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,760
Yes I did because they need a backup quarterback.

354
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Relax.

355
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Now when we look at all these positions of need,

356
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,680
you could address this a few ways, right?

357
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,480
You could try to see if you could bring back players

358
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,480
that you really love, and that way you don't have

359
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,140
to really address them super high in the draft,

360
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:40,600
or you could take a swing at one of these positions

361
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,140
and try to go after somebody that you really love.

362
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:46,280
Now me personally, we all know that the running back class

363
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800
is deep, the cornerback class is deep,

364
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,160
the wide receiver class is a little bit deep,

365
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,280
and the tight end class is deep.

366
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Now all the other positions that I did not say,

367
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,040
that's up for the team to decide, right?

368
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,400
So edge.

369
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,600
You know that you're in a position where yes,

370
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,480
you could get a pretty good edge,

371
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,880
but at the same time, wouldn't you wanna get

372
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,260
another weapon for Tua?

373
00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:14,640
Wouldn't you wanna get productive tight end,

374
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,640
or productive receiver?

375
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,640
Because at this point, the choices for first round

376
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,640
receivers is very slim, because all you had is T-Mac,

377
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Luther Burden, Emeka Ibuka, and Matthew Golden.

378
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Everybody else is not a first round talent.

379
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,720
At best, they're probably second to maybe

380
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,880
fifth round selection, okay?

381
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,680
Now do you wanna wait that long?

382
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,840
I don't know, because there might be somebody

383
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,760
that you really have an eye for,

384
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,680
that they may get snatched up early,

385
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,380
just because of desperation, and you don't want this team

386
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:55,040
to get them and whatnot.

387
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,760
But when we look at defensive line, as I've already said,

388
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
the defensive line class is really good.

389
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,280
But I think you wanna pair a rookie defensive line

390
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,560
with a veteran defensive lineman.

391
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
And you don't have to pay them a whole bunch of money.

392
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,340
You could get someone like a Sebastian Joseph Day,

393
00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:17,160
or BJ Hill, or a Javon Hargrave for cheap.

394
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,420
You don't have to pay a whole bunch of money for them.

395
00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:21,600
Now when we look at things like linebacker,

396
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,260
you could get G. R. Campbell, or Chris Paul Jr.

397
00:18:25,260 --> 00:18:30,260
from Ole Miss, two really good productive linebackers, okay?

398
00:18:30,460 --> 00:18:32,280
And even then, even if you wanted to take

399
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,280
the free agency route, you can get a linebacker

400
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,920
for less than eight million.

401
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,320
I've seen it before, somebody would be willing

402
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,880
to play for the Dolphins just because it's warm weather,

403
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,280
it's in Miami, and you probably got family down there,

404
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,720
or whatever, something crazy.

405
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Now when we look at quarterback,

406
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,120
I'm not really gonna go super deep into quarterback

407
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,720
just because you can get a backup quarterback anywhere.

408
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,040
I'm sorry, like you can bring in somebody

409
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,280
and have tryouts or whatever during camp,

410
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,260
and they're the emergency quarterback or whatever.

411
00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:05,600
Just saying.

412
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,040
But when we look at candidates for restructure,

413
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,440
extensions, trades, and cuts,

414
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,720
I feel like Jalen Ramsey is gonna want out.

415
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,400
I feel like Jalen Ramsey thought that the Dolphins

416
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120
were gonna be in a win-now mode type of situation,

417
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,040
but clearly that's not the case,

418
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,560
and clearly this is about to break up soon,

419
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,300
so you might as well wanna get a head start

420
00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:30,640
before it happens.

421
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Now, for someone like a Jalen Ramsey,

422
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,260
the problem is you gave him an extension, okay?

423
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:42,160
Is a team gonna be willing to pay out that extension?

424
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Probably not.

425
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,360
So at best, you're gonna be taking on some dead cap

426
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,000
from that deal, from that whole situation, to be honest.

427
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,700
Now, when we look at Bradley Chubb, restructure.

428
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:56,640
Restructure all day, every day, okay?

429
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600
And the reason why I say that is because

430
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,160
he has a cap hit this year of 28.6 million.

431
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,800
Next year, it's gonna be 29.3,

432
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,160
and then the year after that, it's supposed to be 29.6.

433
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,800
Those are very large cap hits for somebody

434
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,720
that has not been very productive lately

435
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,040
since being with the Dolphins, okay?

436
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,320
Now, when we look at his base salary,

437
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,940
19.4 this year, 19.4 next year,

438
00:20:23,940 --> 00:20:26,560
and then 18.4 the year after that,

439
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,620
you have to give him a restructure,

440
00:20:29,620 --> 00:20:33,280
because right now you need as much cap space as you can

441
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,400
to try to patch as many holes as you can

442
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,200
on this team before the draft,

443
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,280
because yes, you are in a good spot within the draft.

444
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,080
You're in the 13th pick,

445
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,640
but at the same time, you have so many holes

446
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,120
that you have to fill

447
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,120
that you're gonna have to prioritize

448
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:53,580
one position in the first round.

449
00:20:53,580 --> 00:20:55,520
It's either gonna be a defensive lineman,

450
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600
it's gonna be a corner, it's gonna be a receiver,

451
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,680
it's gonna be a tight end or edge, okay?

452
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,760
One of those positions, you're going to have to do it,

453
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040
because right now you are staring at the barrel of a gun

454
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,280
because why?

455
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,840
This team has not lived up to expectations.

456
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,920
This team has not fulfilled the expectations

457
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760
that was set by the owner,

458
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,920
and right now you are under a lot of pressure

459
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,160
just because of that one game against the Broncos

460
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,020
where you could have almost broken the record

461
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:31,720
of scoring the most points in one game.

462
00:21:32,860 --> 00:21:34,700
Really think about this.

463
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:37,160
Since this whole acquisition of talent,

464
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,440
of Tyreek Hill, Tyronne Armstead,

465
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,240
Bradley Chubb, Jaylon Ramsey,

466
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,000
you guys have sucked against real competition.

467
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,080
When you go up against a winning team, you guys crumble,

468
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,000
but when you guys go up against a weak team,

469
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,280
a team that's going through a rebuild or a losing team,

470
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,360
oh, you guys are on them like white on rice.

471
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,800
That's not how you win games.

472
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,400
That's not how you get to the Super Bowl.

473
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,880
You have to be able to face competition,

474
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,920
whether it's somebody that is a playoff contender

475
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,140
or whether it's somebody that's tanking.

476
00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:12,040
You have to be able to do it.

477
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,960
Otherwise, guess what's gonna happen?

478
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,920
You're gonna be in Cancun every single year.

479
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,160
When they went up against the Chiefs in the playoffs,

480
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,420
guess what happened?

481
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:21,720
They folded.

482
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,200
You cannot allow that to happen.

483
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,240
You've put too much money into this team

484
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,660
for them not to go anywhere, okay?

485
00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:32,240
And honestly, I feel like you could probably put Tyreek Hill

486
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,860
in there as well only because of his comments

487
00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:38,860
towards the end of the season.

488
00:22:38,860 --> 00:22:42,400
I think those comments probably ruffled some feathers

489
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,200
within the Dolphins organization.

490
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480
And I wouldn't be surprised if somebody picks up the phone

491
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,320
and shows some level of interest

492
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,600
for someone like a Tyreek Hill.

493
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,580
Now granted, they gave him an extension,

494
00:22:54,580 --> 00:22:57,640
but I think a team will be willing to take on

495
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,680
at least 50% of that deal.

496
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Just because, I mean, it's Tyreek Hill.

497
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,680
Now do I think it's gonna materialize

498
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,240
within the next few weeks?

499
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,520
I wouldn't be surprised,

500
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,800
especially with the combine coming up next week.

501
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,800
We all know that once the combine happens,

502
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,080
that's when you start seeing an influx of news.

503
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,920
That's when you start seeing a lot of

504
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,760
credible information coming out.

505
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Now we're in this sort of like dead period

506
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,040
where you're gonna see a whole bunch of people

507
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,700
put out stuff just for likes and clicks and interactions

508
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:34,600
and things of that nature.

509
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,880
So keep your eye on the Tyreek Hill situation

510
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,960
because that is a very interesting situation to look at.

511
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,120
Now is there anybody else that I could possibly think of

512
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,880
that may get an extension or may stay?

513
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,080
Maybe Liam Eichenberg,

514
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,760
depending on how the team views him,

515
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,240
or maybe someone like an Isaiah Nguyen,

516
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,160
but people like Javon Holland, he's gone.

517
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,260
He is not coming back.

518
00:23:59,260 --> 00:24:00,680
He is looking for the bag.

519
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,520
Kaleus Campbell, he's probably leaving as well.

520
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,580
He's probably gonna try to join the Chiefs

521
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:09,960
or join the Ravens or the Bills,

522
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
just so he can try to see if he can win

523
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960
at least one Super Bowl and just ride off into the sunset.

524
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,920
But all in all, this is gonna be a very important year

525
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,440
for the Dolphins because a lot is riding on this.

526
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,520
If you do not make it to the playoffs

527
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,400
or let alone make a deep playoff run,

528
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,240
oh, they're cleaning house.

529
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,180
They're gonna scrap this thing from the bottom.

530
00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:36,920
And you do not want that, trust me.

531
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,520
You're gonna be seeing some players,

532
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,200
they're gonna be giving away for basically

533
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,520
chips and a half pack of cigarettes.

534
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,000
I'm just being honest here, folks.

535
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,120
Now when we look at the Bills, okay,

536
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:52,300
they have negative 12 million in cap space

537
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:54,560
and they have a rollover cap of 1.3 million.

538
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,480
So you're already in the red, okay?

539
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,720
And we look at their free agents.

540
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,520
You got Amari Cooper, Rasul Douglas,

541
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240
Austin Johnson, Mack Hollins,

542
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,080
Damar Hamlin, just to name a few, all right?

543
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,080
Your draft picks, you got your first,

544
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,760
two second round picks, no third round picks,

545
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680
two fourth round picks, two fifth round picks,

546
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,920
and three sixth round picks, all right?

547
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Positions of need, corner, interior defensive line,

548
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,960
safety, wide receiver, running back, all right?

549
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,140
So for starters, you're definitely gonna need

550
00:25:25,140 --> 00:25:27,200
to address either corner or defensive line

551
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,760
within the first round.

552
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Because for one, both rooms,

553
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,000
they just need a breath of fresh air.

554
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,680
Ever since Trudevius White left the Bills,

555
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,240
that corner back room has not been good.

556
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,760
And granted, they tried to make a trade

557
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,600
for Rasul Douglas, but I don't think

558
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,000
Rasul Douglas is coming back to the Bills.

559
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,920
And there's nobody else in that secondary room

560
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,520
that I would say is like, you know,

561
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,520
starter caliber, honestly.

562
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,240
Like who is somebody that you can say

563
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,120
is a legitimate one in the corner back room

564
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,080
for the Bills?

565
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,640
I'll let you answer that question in the comments, okay?

566
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,400
Now, when it comes to defensive line,

567
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,920
you are in a position where if you don't wanna trade up,

568
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,760
you could allow one of them to fall

569
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,400
and you could take a swing on one of them, right?

570
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,120
Now the question is, would you be willing to do that,

571
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:19,720
or would you be willing to maybe address, you know,

572
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,900
safety or receiver?

573
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:24,480
Because remember, the last few years,

574
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520
you guys have missed one receiver.

575
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,200
You guys could have had Xavier Worthy,

576
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,520
but you allowed the Chiefs to make their move

577
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,360
and guess what?

578
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:33,680
Now they got Xavier Worthy.

579
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,160
Now granted, Keyon Coleman was still productive,

580
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,400
but he's not Xavier Worthy productive.

581
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,720
No disrespect to him.

582
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,880
Now when we look at safety, you can address safety

583
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,520
in a myriad of ways, but my only problem is,

584
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,720
you're so limited to the cap that you're gonna have

585
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,680
to rely on the draft so much to patch up these holes.

586
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,240
Because again, even if you was to do some restructures,

587
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,360
which we're about to get into in just a little bit,

588
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,600
it still won't be enough for you to like make

589
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,080
significant moves to really better this team.

590
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,260
And then when we look at running back,

591
00:27:11,260 --> 00:27:13,880
I would definitely double dip at running back

592
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,640
because who in the world is gonna pay James Cook 15 million?

593
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,900
Now granted, I understand that he just had his best season

594
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:24,840
of his career so far, but I'm not paying you 15 million.

595
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,680
If everybody had one great season,

596
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,160
there will be no need for the cap

597
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,640
because everybody would be resetting the market

598
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,320
and getting cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs type money.

599
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,440
That's not how this thing works.

600
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,980
And with the running back class being as great as it is,

601
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:44,760
Devin Neal, Caleb Johnson, Trevion Henderson,

602
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,640
Quenshawn Jenkins, Taj Brooks, Bauschel Tootin,

603
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,680
Omarion Hampton, I can keep on going for days.

604
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,520
You have options.

605
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720
Make sure you get at least two.

606
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,320
But when we look at candidates for restructure,

607
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,400
extension, trades, and cuts,

608
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,940
Damar Hamlin for sure, you can give him an extension.

609
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:08,280
Nothing super crazy, probably sort of a deal

610
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,920
that what Elijah Molden just got,

611
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560
nothing earth-shattering, but just something

612
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,600
that keeps him with the team.

613
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,300
Mack Hollins, you have to give him an extension.

614
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:22,120
Mack Hollins was balling in the playoffs.

615
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,600
You gotta keep him, okay?

616
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,360
Because right now I think all you will have

617
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:29,960
is Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

618
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,720
So you gotta bring him back at least.

619
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,440
Curtis Samuel, I just wouldn't do it.

620
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,100
Amari Cooper, he became a ghost once the, you know,

621
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,860
once the playoffs came around and whatnot.

622
00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:46,400
It's just not worth it, personally.

623
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,440
Gregory Russo, I would definitely give him an extension.

624
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,040
I would get ahead of that now

625
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,760
instead of waiting until next year

626
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,320
because if Gregory Russo has a crazy season

627
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,100
like how I think he's going to,

628
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:00,320
you are going to be paying a lot of money

629
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,840
and you're gonna have to cut somebody

630
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,320
just to pay Gregory Russo

631
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,080
because you're not gonna just let him just walk.

632
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,940
I could tell you three teams right now

633
00:29:07,940 --> 00:29:09,820
that would want someone like a Gregory Russo,

634
00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:11,360
just being honest here.

635
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520
Because when you look at his market value,

636
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,960
it's a four year, $99.5 million deal,

637
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,120
which is $24.9 million a year.

638
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,280
If he has a double digit sack season

639
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,560
and is a finalist for defensive player of the year

640
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,980
or any of those awards,

641
00:29:27,980 --> 00:29:29,240
you are talking about somebody

642
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,200
that could be making a hundred million.

643
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,120
Well, he could be getting a hundred million dollar deal.

644
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Okay, not a hundred million dollars.

645
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,360
I know there's a bunch of Bills fans,

646
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,360
what are you talking about?

647
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,000
You don't know what they're talking about.

648
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,320
You're messing things up.

649
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Relax, it's okay, relax, it's the coffee.

650
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,240
Now when we look at restructures, Von Miller for sure.

651
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,160
Because man, oh man, his base salary this year, 17.1.

652
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Next year, 19.6.

653
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,940
And the year after that, 29.6.

654
00:30:02,940 --> 00:30:05,680
Do you really think the Bills are going to allow him

655
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,560
to just keep this unscathed?

656
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,360
Oh no, there's definitely gonna be restructure.

657
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,440
And then when you look at his cap hit,

658
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,160
his cap hit this year, 23.8.

659
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Next year is 26.3.

660
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,260
And then the year after that is supposed to be 32.6.

661
00:30:20,260 --> 00:30:22,420
You are going to have to restructure his deal

662
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:24,820
because for one, he's getting up in age,

663
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:27,440
his production has gone down.

664
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,840
And at this point, you have to admit

665
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,280
that this deal was a bad deal.

666
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,460
You guys were thinking you guys were gonna get

667
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:38,680
the same Von Miller that the Rams got.

668
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,660
But the only difference is guess what?

669
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:43,240
Von Miller was teammates with one of the greatest

670
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,640
defensive linemen in NFL history in Aaron Donald.

671
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,400
That's the only difference in this entire equation.

672
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,080
You don't have somebody else outside of Gregory Russo

673
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,240
that you can say, hey listen,

674
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,040
he can definitely take a lot of pressure off

675
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,560
of someone like a Von Miller.

676
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,960
You don't have that outside of Gregory Russo.

677
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,680
So right now, you have to rely so much on the draft

678
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,560
to patch up your holes.

679
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,560
But at the same time, with you being a playoff caliber team,

680
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,000
players will be willing to join your team

681
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,020
and they'll be willing to take less

682
00:31:17,020 --> 00:31:18,760
because they know that guess what?

683
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,480
As you have Josh Allen, guess what?

684
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,440
You will always have a chance to make it to the playoffs

685
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,560
because right now, there's nobody else in your division

686
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,160
that can rock with you.

687
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,040
Not the Patriots, not the Jets, and not the Dolphins.

688
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,300
It's literally y'all division until Josh Allen gets old,

689
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:38,120
decrepit, and wants to retire.

690
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Now when we go on to the final team,

691
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,060
that is the Patriots, okay?

692
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:46,840
So granted, you are gonna have the most cap space

693
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,480
in all the league, but the drawback is,

694
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,540
you have a lot of important holes that you have to fill.

695
00:31:53,540 --> 00:31:54,960
So when we look at their free agents,

696
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,400
you have Jonathan Jones, Jacoby Brissette, Deontre Watch.

697
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,120
I mean why, excuse me, Austin Hooper,

698
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,720
Jermichael Hasty, Jaylon Hawkins, just to name a few, okay?

699
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,540
Your draft picks.

700
00:32:05,540 --> 00:32:08,280
You got your first, your second, two third round picks,

701
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,560
one fourth round pick, one fifth round pick,

702
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,760
and two seventh round picks, okay?

703
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,520
Positions of need, offensive line,

704
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400
both tackle and interior offensive line,

705
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,280
edge, corner, receiver, tight end, linebacker,

706
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,360
running back, safety, defensive tackle, okay?

707
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,280
So with defensive tackle,

708
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,480
with the uncertainty of Christian Barnborn,

709
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,480
you have to possibly get an assurance policy just in case.

710
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,480
Because outside of him,

711
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,400
there's nobody else on the defensive line

712
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,840
outside of Keon White that has been super productive.

713
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,360
And with this defensive class

714
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,800
having some bona fide starters at defensive line,

715
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,160
you have to get at least two of them.

716
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,160
If you get someone like a Daron Harmon and Jordan Phillips,

717
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,100
that's a lot better than what you have right now.

718
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,040
And then not to mention,

719
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,400
we all know that Mike Raible loves his defensive lineman.

720
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,760
Come on now, he loves his defensive lineman.

721
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,280
Corner, you can address that day two or day three, honestly.

722
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,640
You don't have to address it in the first round.

723
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,480
You don't have to address it that high in the draft.

724
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,280
But D-tackle, I mean, you can get Mason Graham.

725
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,920
If you get Mason Graham,

726
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,440
and then Christian Barnborn comes back,

727
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,800
that's a nasty defensive line right there already, okay?

728
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,300
Now linebacker, you can go about this a few ways.

729
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,700
You can go and you can draft one,

730
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:35,360
Chris Paul Jr. or Jihad Campbell.

731
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,580
Or you can go, you can try to get

732
00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:40,600
a veteran linebacker for a low.

733
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,360
You can get one for maybe five or six million a year.

734
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,000
It's not really gonna hurt your pockets as much, right?

735
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,520
Running back, as I've already said multiple times,

736
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,120
you can get a running back anywhere in this draft.

737
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,880
I would not be surprised if some of these running backs

738
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,200
become undrafted free agents.

739
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,680
So that might even sweeten the deal even more,

740
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,280
because now you don't even have to waste

741
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,160
a draft pick on them.

742
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,560
You could just invite them to camp

743
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,080
and just see where they are, tied in.

744
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,840
You can draft one.

745
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560
I wouldn't draft one as high as where they're drafting,

746
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,320
because they're drafting fourth overall.

747
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,980
I just would not do that.

748
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:23,500
But if you get someone like a Harold Fanon Jr.

749
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:28,500
or a Colston Loveland or the tight end from Miami

750
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:33,500
or Jack Besh, because I think he came from being a tight end.

751
00:34:34,340 --> 00:34:35,820
You can convert him back into a tight end,

752
00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:38,580
or you can go and get somebody from free agency.

753
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:41,340
If you take any of those routes, guess what?

754
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:42,800
That makes things a little bit better,

755
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,260
because right now, I mean, your tight ends,

756
00:34:47,260 --> 00:34:49,740
they're okay, but they could be a whole lot better.

757
00:34:49,740 --> 00:34:54,740
Now, receiver, you can get T-Mac,

758
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,300
you could get Luther Burdick, you can get a Mecha Bucca,

759
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:02,380
you could go and try to see if you can make a sign-in trade

760
00:35:02,380 --> 00:35:04,220
for someone like a T. Higgins.

761
00:35:04,220 --> 00:35:06,380
You have options at that position.

762
00:35:06,380 --> 00:35:08,660
But the only problem is,

763
00:35:08,660 --> 00:35:11,340
you guys are not in a position to win,

764
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:13,940
because if you guys are in a position to win,

765
00:35:13,940 --> 00:35:18,940
I think T. Higgins would be more open to going to y'all.

766
00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:21,460
But because y'all aren't winning,

767
00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:23,540
I don't think T. Higgins would want to entertain y'all.

768
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:26,100
Even if y'all was throwing him crazy money,

769
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:28,700
I still don't think he would do it personally.

770
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:30,740
Now, you could try to go and get someone else,

771
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:34,060
like a Stefan Diggs or a Darius Slayton,

772
00:35:34,060 --> 00:35:36,740
or I was gonna say De'Andre Johnson,

773
00:35:36,740 --> 00:35:38,820
but no, that's a hell no.

774
00:35:38,820 --> 00:35:42,180
De'Andre Hopkins, you could get one of those

775
00:35:42,180 --> 00:35:47,180
older veteran type of receivers if you really wanted to.

776
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,540
Somebody that's not gonna cost you a whole lot of money,

777
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:52,540
but you know that their leadership in the locker room

778
00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:54,620
and their productivity on the field

779
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:58,060
is definitely gonna be felt from the moment, excuse me,

780
00:35:58,060 --> 00:35:59,740
that they joined the team.

781
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:01,460
Corner and edge.

782
00:36:02,580 --> 00:36:07,100
Corner, you can address it that high.

783
00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:09,420
Me personally, I wouldn't.

784
00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:13,220
At the same time, I think it really depends on

785
00:36:13,220 --> 00:36:15,480
how everybody runs in the comp.

786
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,420
If Will Johnson runs a four, three,

787
00:36:17,420 --> 00:36:19,500
you have to get him that high.

788
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:23,560
If Benjamin Morrison runs really well,

789
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,900
or Siobhan Revel, or Trey Amos, or Ezra Thomas,

790
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:30,180
or Kobe Bryant, or any of those guys,

791
00:36:30,180 --> 00:36:34,020
if they run pretty well, you're gonna have to get them.

792
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:36,340
Because outside of Christian Gonzalez, who else do you have?

793
00:36:36,340 --> 00:36:38,340
Jonathan Jones is up in age.

794
00:36:38,340 --> 00:36:40,000
Now, granted, he is a free agent,

795
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,860
but are you gonna be willing to bring him back?

796
00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:42,860
I don't think so.

797
00:36:42,860 --> 00:36:47,020
But at the same time, you probably could bring him back

798
00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:50,660
just because I don't think his market will be as defined

799
00:36:50,660 --> 00:36:52,780
as what people think it will be,

800
00:36:52,780 --> 00:36:55,420
but you probably will have to double dip at corner.

801
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:57,020
You could definitely get one in the first round,

802
00:36:57,020 --> 00:36:58,260
then get one in the second round,

803
00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:00,480
or you get one in the second round and third round.

804
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,460
But at some point, you're gonna have to double dip

805
00:37:03,460 --> 00:37:07,260
at both corner and defensive tackle,

806
00:37:07,260 --> 00:37:08,820
and possibly running back.

807
00:37:08,820 --> 00:37:13,820
Now, edge, outside of the first rounder type edges,

808
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:16,740
I haven't really looked at anybody else.

809
00:37:16,740 --> 00:37:19,340
I probably should, I probably will this weekend.

810
00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:21,700
But I mean, you got the notable names,

811
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:23,900
the household names, Abdul Carter,

812
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:28,300
Jaylen Walker, Mike Green, James Pierce, all those guys.

813
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:30,860
The question is, do you wanna draft them that high or not?

814
00:37:30,860 --> 00:37:35,020
Me personally, I wouldn't draft them that high.

815
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:38,380
Like, if you're drafting an edge rusher that high,

816
00:37:38,380 --> 00:37:43,380
they have to be like borderline, like all pros, okay?

817
00:37:44,420 --> 00:37:47,340
And they don't come out, you know, every single year.

818
00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:52,020
It's very rare that they come out in the draft, honestly,

819
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:52,860
especially this high.

820
00:37:52,860 --> 00:37:55,940
Like, shoot, if you would have told me that T.J. Watt

821
00:37:55,940 --> 00:37:57,420
would have been better than Taco Charlton,

822
00:37:57,420 --> 00:38:02,020
which was crazy because Taco got drafted before T.J. Watt,

823
00:38:02,020 --> 00:38:02,860
everyone was like, oh yeah,

824
00:38:02,860 --> 00:38:05,740
Taco Charlton is gonna be a monster.

825
00:38:05,740 --> 00:38:07,380
He's gonna be a game changer.

826
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:09,620
And where is Taco now?

827
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,160
And where's T.J. Watt?

828
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,540
Just saying, okay?

829
00:38:13,540 --> 00:38:17,460
Offensive line, me personally, I would address this high,

830
00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:20,020
okay, because right now,

831
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:24,700
all you really have is an aging David Andrews, okay?

832
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:26,820
There's nobody else in this offensive line

833
00:38:26,820 --> 00:38:29,420
that you should feel very comfortable with.

834
00:38:29,420 --> 00:38:31,300
You have already cut Chukes

835
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:33,620
because you know Chukes was not good.

836
00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:37,180
Your left tackle is definitely gonna need to be replaced.

837
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:38,980
I wouldn't be surprised if they put some money

838
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:40,700
at left tackle.

839
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:43,620
And then everybody else, you can get that in the draft

840
00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:46,880
or you can get veterans, one of the two.

841
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,100
But you are gonna have to invest a lot of resources

842
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:52,940
into this offensive line for Drake May

843
00:38:52,940 --> 00:38:55,100
because you don't wanna be in a situation

844
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:56,740
where he's getting beat up

845
00:38:56,740 --> 00:38:59,580
and by the time you do address the offensive line,

846
00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:00,900
he doesn't wanna play anymore.

847
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,540
So you could get someone like a Dan Moore.

848
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:05,460
You could get someone like a Calvin Beachiff.

849
00:39:05,460 --> 00:39:07,300
You can get someone like a Tevin Jenkins.

850
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:09,540
You can get someone like a Kevin Zeidler.

851
00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:11,300
I just named you a few offensive linemen

852
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:12,520
that you could get right now

853
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,420
that may be willing to play for your team.

854
00:39:15,420 --> 00:39:17,980
You could get someone like a Brandon Sheriff.

855
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:20,620
You have options at offensive line

856
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:21,980
and it doesn't necessarily mean

857
00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:25,280
that you have to get these top in offensive linemen

858
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,420
that you have to reset the market for,

859
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:29,320
but you could go and do it.

860
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,860
Shoot, take a big swing at Trey Smith.

861
00:39:32,860 --> 00:39:35,080
Reset the market for Trey Smith.

862
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,700
If you get someone like him, guess what?

863
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:38,300
That's gonna be your best offensive lineman.

864
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:41,340
He's gonna be a great guard

865
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:43,520
and then you can just build everything else.

866
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,560
You could address it in the draft.

867
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,620
You could address the other positions in free agency

868
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:51,180
because I don't think Kevin Zeidler's market

869
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:52,080
is gonna be that high.

870
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,640
Same thing with Tevin Jenkins or any of those guys.

871
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,800
Even Dan Moore.

872
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,900
Dan Moore is not gonna cost a whole lot of money.

873
00:39:57,900 --> 00:39:59,680
Now he's going to get paid,

874
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,680
but he's not gonna get paid, paid.

875
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,420
There's a difference, okay?

876
00:40:03,420 --> 00:40:04,700
Now when we look at candidates

877
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:08,340
for restructure extensions, trades, and cuts,

878
00:40:08,340 --> 00:40:10,300
Jacoby Brissette I would definitely extend

879
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:14,500
just because you want him to have a backup.

880
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:15,900
Every quarterback needs a backup.

881
00:40:15,900 --> 00:40:18,820
And who better than Jacoby Brissette, okay?

882
00:40:18,820 --> 00:40:22,680
His market value is only a one year, $3.1 million deal,

883
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,740
which is only $3.1 million a year.

884
00:40:25,780 --> 00:40:26,620
That's not bad.

885
00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:27,500
It's not gonna break the bank.

886
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:29,360
It's not gonna mess things up.

887
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,340
You guys are gonna have to restructure in a few years

888
00:40:31,340 --> 00:40:32,180
or whatever.

889
00:40:32,180 --> 00:40:33,780
You don't have to do that.

890
00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:35,020
Now, Jonathan Jones,

891
00:40:35,020 --> 00:40:37,780
if you wanted to take the route to extend him,

892
00:40:37,780 --> 00:40:41,100
it would be a two year, $5.6 million deal,

893
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:43,580
which is $2.8 million a year.

894
00:40:43,580 --> 00:40:45,300
Do you really wanna do that?

895
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:49,100
Part of me says yes because of the veteran presence,

896
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,160
but at the same time,

897
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,580
at some point you're gonna have to find their replacement.

898
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:57,100
And this might be the year for you to do it.

899
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:00,000
You got a lot of good corners coming out of this draft.

900
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,120
You got people like Darian Porter, Jaday Baron,

901
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,460
people that I haven't even named.

902
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:07,300
Okay?

903
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:10,660
You got some really good corners and safeties

904
00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:12,980
that are coming out of this draft class that you could get.

905
00:41:12,980 --> 00:41:15,520
Now, granted, if Bill was still there,

906
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,500
you could get somebody in the fifth or sixth round

907
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:19,680
and he can turn them into an all pro.

908
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,100
But because that's not the case,

909
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,540
well then, you know, here we are.

910
00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:24,340
But at the same time,

911
00:41:24,340 --> 00:41:27,400
I would not be surprised if some of the former players

912
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,660
that did play for Mike Vraple

913
00:41:29,660 --> 00:41:31,540
would want to join with the Pagers

914
00:41:31,540 --> 00:41:34,140
just because they're so familiar and comfortable

915
00:41:34,140 --> 00:41:36,400
with Mike Vraple and his system.

916
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,160
So I say all that to say this.

917
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,620
You have options.

918
00:41:40,460 --> 00:41:43,620
You could go a myriad of different ways,

919
00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:45,420
different routes or whatever.

920
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:49,120
The question is, which side do you want to prioritize?

921
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,860
Do you want to prioritize the growth of Drake May

922
00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:55,020
or do you want to solidify this defense

923
00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:56,460
and make it super dominant?

924
00:41:56,460 --> 00:41:58,900
That is the question that they are gonna have to ask

925
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:01,260
prior to the legal tampering period

926
00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:03,940
and free agency and all those different types of things.

927
00:42:03,940 --> 00:42:05,680
But I want to end this episode here.

928
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:06,920
If you guys like what you are listening,

929
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,420

930
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:11,060

00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,220
on anywhere and everywhere that you listen to podcasts.

933
00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:21,180
Okay, now I just did this today.

934
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:24,540
So let me make sure that I'm telling all the places

935
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:26,400
that we are available on, okay?

936
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,240
Give me a second.

937
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:32,240
So we are available on, and it's a lot,

938
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,120
Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Castro, Overcast, Podcast Guru,

939
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,480
Spotify, R-Hard Radio, Castbox, Pocket Casts,

940
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,480
True Fans, Amazon Music, Podcast Index,

941
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,380
Fountain and Podcast Attic.

942
00:42:45,380 --> 00:42:49,180
Now, if you want access to any of these links,

943
00:42:49,180 --> 00:42:51,680
all you have to do is go on the RSS feed

944
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,920
and when you go to, I think the listen button,

945
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,040
if I'm not mistaken, all of those options will appear, okay?

946
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,120
Now, for my YouTube people, okay?

947
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,680
Football Junkies Pod, okay?

948
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:03,840
Football Junkies Pod.

949
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,160
When you go on the YouTube, there is a link tree,

950
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,560
you click on the link tree,

951
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,280
and it'll take you anywhere and everywhere

952
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,120
that we have Football Junkies content, okay?

953
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,240
Whether it be the Twitter, the TikTok, the Instagram,

954
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:18,720
Blue Sky, wherever, it's all on there, okay?

955
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:21,600
Now, for my TikTok people, Football Junkies Pod, okay?

956
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Football Junkies Pod clips.

957
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,120
I know, we're gonna get working on those.

958
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Just give me some time, okay?

959
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,440

Football Junkies Pod.

961
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,660
Junkies Pod is not what?

962
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,400
It is together, not spaced, okay?

963
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,080
It is together, not spaced, okay?

964
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,880
For my Twitter people, GMKale, okay?

965
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,160
GMKale, K-A-I-O-E.

966
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Follow me on there, that's where I do a lot of my debates

967
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,800
with other fans and whatnot.

968
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,840
Sometimes I may ask questions with fellow beat writers

969
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,920
and journalists and whatnot, just to pick their brains

970
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,160
on certain topics and whatnot.

971
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Sometimes I'll react to pressing news

972
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,140
and all those different types of things, okay?

973
00:44:12,140 --> 00:44:14,600
Just come on over there, have a good time.

974
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,760
Same thing with Blue Sky as well, GMKale, okay?

975
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,800
G-M-Kale, K-A-I-O-E.

976
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,480
Am I forgetting anything?

977
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,800
Am I forgetting anything?

978
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,160
Oh yeah, we're on Spotify, we're on Apple Podcast.

979
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,600
You guys already know that, but as always,

980
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,000
I hope I give you guys the fix that you guys need.

981
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,720
I love you guys, I appreciate you guys so much.

982
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:38,780
Next week, we're going to the West Side.

983
00:44:38,780 --> 00:44:42,120
We are going to the NFC West, okay?

984
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,960
It's gonna be a good one, okay?

985
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Now, it may not be good for the 49ers fans,

986
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,040
because you guys may not like me, but it's okay,

987
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,280
because guess what, we're gonna be A-okay.

988
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,440
So as always, this is your GMKale signing out.

989
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:19,800
Peace and love, later.
