  Chris Landry Segment two on a Monday. Make sure to find him at Landry
• 0:03
  Football and then of course that's on x and Landry football dot Com. Chris,
• 0:07
  it looks like there's gonna be some wide receiver extension contracts coming up for
• 0:11
  the likes of Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb with the Dallas Cowboys, Jamar Chase
• 0:16
  with Cincinnati Bengals, and Brandon Ayuk for San Francisco. I guess the question
• 0:20
  is this is you would think, you know, with Tyreek Hill's thirty million
• 0:23
  dollars per year average, that floor will be set again. At what point,
• 0:29
  you know, if you have a CD Lamb and it gets extremely expensive
• 0:32
  and I know, you know there's some jocking with the salarycap kind of moving
• 0:36
  that whole thing up and everything, But at what point do you look younger
• 0:41
  like the Chiefs did with Tyreek Hill and just move on. I think it
• 0:46
  depends on the team, depending on the situation. The Cowboys are more likely
• 0:50
  to spend the money. The Vikings will probably spend the money as they are
• 0:56
  now focusing on where they're going to go at quarterback, but they need to
• 0:59
  and would like to revolve it around a guy like Justin Jefferson News young as
• 1:03
  well and uh probably as good as receivers as and football at least he's graded
• 1:07
  out that way. For me, I think I think the biggest thing is
• 1:11
  I mean, look, I think you have to look at it, and
• 1:15
  to answer your question is in each situation, like in Kansas City, they
• 1:19
  had a lot of talent and Tyreek Hill they wanted him back, but they
• 1:23
  can't pay everybody, so they had to make the move and and they're kind
• 1:26
  of had to go a little bit cheaper because the quarterback had to get paid,
• 1:32
  and and so everybody's in that situation. The Cowboys they got to redo
• 1:37
  that still if that's what they're gonna do or let it right, I mean,
• 1:38
  all that's gonna affect what they can pay CD or anyone. Obviously they
• 1:42
  decided to not pay the tackle due to injuries and commitment there and do their
• 1:48
  cop situation. So I think the interesting thing is, see here, here's
• 1:52
  what goes on in the negotiations, Jim mentioning all those guys who goes first
• 1:57
  or more importantly, who was last. And I think you know, because
• 2:00
  basically you work in this league off a contract of other contracts well, JJ's
• 2:06
  gonna probably get the best one, so he's gonna want to see what everybody
• 2:08
  else gets. So you know, if you're trying to get five and I'm
• 2:13
  just throwing a number on, I'm not talking about five million, and it's
• 2:15
  gonna be a lot more than that, then you want to see all those
• 2:17
  guys all of a sudden you think they're somebody else that's not. You're the
• 2:24
  top of them, and somebody gets seven and you're gonna be asking for eight.
• 2:28
  You see where I'm going with it. The price only goes up depending
• 2:31
  on who goes first. So we'll see what i US can do. Now,
• 2:35
  the key is can you get a good deal? Can you convince them
• 2:38
  to sign and give them a lot of upfront money? Do you have the
• 2:43
  cap to do that? Can you spread it out over the life of the
• 2:45
  contract? The other thing you keep in mind we had a ready nice jump
• 2:51
  in a cap number this year, so you know, it's kind of like
• 2:53
  giving you more budget. It's like a it's look think of the sounding cap
• 2:58
  fans out there as a credit card. You know, everybody in the league
• 3:01
  just got a credit increase, So I mean they got they got they got
• 3:07
  get a little bit more more credit allowed to them, so they can put
• 3:12
  more on that credit card. And so some teams are gonna be willing to
• 3:15
  do it and pay it off over time. Some may want to be a
• 3:19
  little more prudent, and it's just going to depend individually where the teams are. Cap Watch
