greatest football podcast known to civilization.
1:58
Okay. You are listening to Bagro Domus.
2:02
You are listening to the chief head of the table,
2:05
chief Bagro meteorologists.
2:08
Okay. As well as your GM,
2:12
who currently is still not on a team right now,
2:15
but I am receiving under the table payments
2:18
from Georgia, Alabama and Michigan.
2:22
Don't check those numbers.
2:23
Don't worry. Don't, don't, don't worry about that.
2:24
I'm, I'm getting my, my extra 25 cents in a ticket stub.
2:29
Okay. I'm getting all of that in more. Okay.
2:31
But most importantly, I am your host,
2:34
a title that I love the most.
2:36
I am your host, your GM.
2:40
That's right. Your GM.
2:42
You already know what I'm getting ready to say.
2:45
You already know what I'm getting ready to say.
2:47
This is going to be a loaded episode.
2:50
So guess what? You better be,
2:52
you better have a tall task ahead of you.
2:54
If you got some dishes that you got to do, guess what?
2:56
You're going to get everything done.
2:58
Why are you listening to greatness? Okay.
3:01
If you got, if you got to fix that car,
3:03
if you got to clean the car,
3:04
I'll clean that backseat.
3:05
Cause you know, you've been putting all your snacks
3:07
in the backseat.
3:08
Just know this episode is going to be long enough for you
3:11
to get the task done.
3:13
I am your host, Kale.
3:15
You already know what I'm getting ready to say on three,
3:18
one, two, three, lock in.
3:20
All right, folks, let's just get into the meat and the potatoes
3:25
of everything that's going on in the football universe,
3:31
mega verse, verse, verse, whatever you want to call it.
3:33
Okay.
3:34
Who cares if your
3:50
on in the football universe, mega verse, verse, verse, whatever you want to call it.
3:55
Okay.
3:56
Who will be going to start with?
3:57
We're going to start with the line because why?
4:00
Lime and deserve love.
4:01
Okay.
4:02
The big guys deserve love.
4:03
Okay.
4:04
And who we start off with literally one of the greatest left tackles of our generation,
4:09
Trent Williams.
4:10
Okay.
4:11
He has inked a three year, 82.6 million dollar extension.
4:16
Okay.
4:17
He gets 48 million guaranteed at signing.
4:20
He gets a 25.6 million dollar signing bonus.
4:23
Okay.
4:24
Now we got to put in some notes just so we can add a little bit more context to this
4:27
deal.
4:28
Okay.
4:29
This is the most cash for any linemen in year one.
4:32
Okay.
4:33
At 27.65 million.
4:34
Cool.
4:35
This is the most guaranteed money for any linemen since 2021 and 103 million dollars.
4:43
He just got the bag again.
4:48
He got it.
4:49
It worked.
4:50
It worked.
4:51
Even though yes, he is going to have to pay fines per the CBA and whatnot.
4:55
That is literally just a crumb to everything, to all the other money that he's bringing
5:01
in.
5:02
Okay.
5:03
As I've said before, and I've said this in multiple podcast, but multiple episodes,
5:08
Trent Williams deserved his money.
5:11
Okay.
5:12
Once Christian Derisaw got his money, everybody knew that Trent Williams was going to want
5:17
more money.
5:18
Everybody knew that because why?
5:20
He is still the best left tackle in the game right now.
5:24
That's no disrespect to Christian Derisaw, but Trent Williams is on a whole another level.
5:30
Even at this point in his career, people would have thought, oh man, you're starting to see
5:35
a little bit of decline.
5:37
No.
5:38
No.
5:39
He is still holding his own with the best of the best.
5:42
He is still putting people in the ground.
5:45
Okay.
5:46
That is who Trent Williams is.
5:48
As I've said before, and this is a factual stat, you can find it on NFL Pro.
5:54
Since the 49ers traded for Trent Williams, they started to run the ball more on his side
6:01
and they were doing it at a more successful rate.
6:05
That shows you that he is not only just an impactful player, but he is a game changer.
6:12
Okay.
6:13
That's just who he is.
6:15
And granted, I understand there were people saying, well, Trent Williams should have just
6:19
tried to be there.
6:20
No, he doesn't have to.
6:23
Because why?
6:24
If he wanted to, realistically speaking here, Trent Williams could have walked away from
6:29
football and not care because why?
6:33
He has solidified his career.
6:35
He has.
6:36
He's going to go down in history and one of the greatest left tackles of all time.
6:40
He is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
6:43
He's getting a gold jacket.
6:45
Okay.
6:46
That is a 100% guarantee.
6:49
He's made well over $100 million.
6:52
He's good.
6:53
He doesn't have to do anything else.
6:55
He has nothing else to prove.
6:57
The only other thing that he probably would want is probably just to rank, just to sweeten
7:02
the deal and just to end things on the right foot.
7:08
That's it.
7:09
Other than that, he's done everything else that there is to do.
7:12
He's gone up against the best of the best his entire career.
7:17
Right?
7:18
So it was only a matter of time before the 49ers were going to do it.
7:21
Now, I will say this and this is why I made the title for this episode.
7:27
The way the one, I can't even speak.
7:30
It's definitely the coffee.
7:31
I'm super excited because we've got a quadruple bag alert.
7:33
Okay.
7:34
This is the first time we've ever had a quadruple bag alert.
7:36
You guys do not understand how excited I was.
7:39
Okay.
7:40
The quadruple is going to be just a normal, just bag alert or double bag alert or triple
7:44
bag alert, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
7:46
This is different.
7:48
This is different.
7:49
Okay.
7:50
But back to Trent Williams.
7:53
This is the last dance for the 49ers.
7:55
Okay.
7:56
Anyone says you can bash me all you want.
7:59
You can fight me all you want.
8:00
You can do all those different type of things.
8:02
This is the last dance.
8:03
This is the curtain call for the 49ers.
8:06
And the reason why I'm saying that is because at this point, there is no, there is no other
8:12
better opportunity that the 49ers have than now.
8:16
You have to win now to justify every single move that the 49ers have made within the past
8:24
five to six to seven or eight years.
8:27
You have to because you've taken care of all of your players.
8:31
You've paid all your superstars.
8:33
You've done all those different types of things.
8:35
Now it's time for you to win a Super Bowl.
8:38
And not to mention everybody knows once, once, once, I can't even speak, once the team starts
8:46
to enter the phase where they have to pay the quarterback, that same cap flexibility that
8:50
they used to have is going to be very limited.
8:53
So that means instead of them going after a player that is looking for a new deal and
8:58
you can just add on, you know, more guarantees and whatnot, or you can just give them a whole
9:02
spanking brand new deal and probably reset the market for that individual position.
9:07
Now you're going to have to make a decision on probably going after a player who has an
9:12
expiring contract or has no guarantees.
9:15
And all you have to do is just add on a maybe 10 to 15, 10 to 15 million and more guarantees
9:23
compared to going after a younger, more viable player.
9:27
That's just what it is at this point.
9:29
Not to mention they've done a lot.
9:33
They've traded, you know, for multiple players.
9:35
They traded for Christian McCaffrey, traded for Trent Williams.
9:38
They paid George Kittle, Debo, Brandi and IU, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Gravedigger.
9:44
They traded away the Forrest Buckner.
9:47
They traded away Eric Armstead.
9:49
They did all those different types of things, right?
9:52
And at some point you have to win at least one.
9:55
I'm not saying that you have to win two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10:00
10.
10:01
I'm not saying that you won't even be able to with this core, but you have to win one,
10:07
just one.
10:08
Because at this point it feels like they're trying to buy a Super Bowl and you can never
10:15
buy a Super Bowl, right?
10:17
And this is sort of a reason why I think we have to in some ways, and this was a point
10:24
that I had thought of when the brandi news came down and he finally got paid.
10:31
This is why I think we have to appreciate the Patriots' dynasty more.
10:35
Because a lot of the turmoil and foolishness and conundrum that the 49ers are having, you
10:41
would have never heard that from the Patriots.
10:44
Because the Patriots would have just shipped people off, you know, know if ands or buts
10:49
about it.
10:50
That whole will ship you away two years before, then two years after.
10:57
Trust and believe there would have been a lot of turnover with this 49ers.
11:00
We have, let's just be honest here.
11:02
But I think it's important to note that the pressure is really on John Lynch and Kyle
11:08
Shanahan to win a Super Bowl.
11:11
If I'm management, I'm looking at you every single week of this upcoming season.
11:20
And I'm emphasizing like, listen, I want to be able to hold a Lombardi.
11:25
One Lombardi, that's it.
11:27
If we can hold up one Lombardi, I won't care.
11:31
Because I don't wrote so many checks.
11:34
I don't reset in the market for so many different players.
11:38
And we haven't been able to do anything.
11:40
And it's hard, and I get it.
11:41
It's hard to go to the Super Bowl, let alone win the Super Bowl.
11:45
I get that.
11:47
But when you have multiple opportunities, and you've been in multiple Super Bowls, and
11:53
you have been as close as you can in both instances to win a Super Bowl, and you choked,
12:00
that falls on you.
12:01
That falls on you.
12:02
It doesn't fall on anybody else.
12:04
That falls on you.
12:06
Especially when it was a coaching decision, not necessarily a player decision.
12:10
In 2019, when they went up against the Chiefs, what did they do?
12:15
If I'm not mistaken, I think they stopped running the ball.
12:17
They wanted to pass the ball more.
12:19
And in doing so, guess what happened?
12:21
They lost the game.
12:22
They gave the Chiefs leverage, and they were able to come back and win.
12:27
Same thing with this past Super Bowl, right?
12:31
Now that one was a little bit different, because both teams were, you know, gassed.
12:36
I'm talking about they were tired, but it was just that Chiefs defense, they started
12:41
to get hot, they started to have some momentum, and they just sealed the deal.
12:46
And then you have Patrick Mahomes, you know, doing Patrick Mahomes things, and you know,
12:50
this is the situation that you're in right now.
12:52
So I say all that to say this, if the 49ers do not win, it's going to be hard to really,
13:01
you know, look at Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch as, you know, one of the best, you know, coaching
13:08
GM duos in this league.
13:10
It really is.
13:12
Because if we're being real here, the teams that you really have to worry about are the
13:17
Lions, the Eagles, the Ravens, of course, the Chiefs, and you know, somebody else that
13:25
might be that that might be a dark horse, right?
13:29
You don't really have to worry about anybody else.
13:31
So if you can, so if you can maintain this course, and if you can try to win as many
13:37
games as you possibly can, hey, I mean, it's there, it's there.
13:43
The chance for you to go back to the Super Bowl is there.
13:48
But you have to want to, you have to want to be able to get there and to finish the job,
13:54
not get halfway, not get to the Super Bowl and do everything that you're supposed to
13:59
do and then choke away.
14:01
No, you have to finish it from you have to do it from start to finish.
14:05
You have to and if you don't, then guess what's going to happen?
14:10
Everyone's really going to label you a choke artist.
14:13
That's really, that's really what it is.
14:15
And Kyle Shanahan has been having that label, you know, since the whole Falcon situation
14:21
choke artist.
14:22
So Kyle, you got to do something, bro.
14:25
You got to do something.
14:27
You can't say, oh, we was devoid of, you know, talent and whatnot.
14:31
Now you have multiple Hall of Famers on your team on both sides of the ball.
14:36
Christopher and Kathy Hall of Famer, Trent Williams Hall of Famer, Nick, well, no, no,
14:40
I don't know about Nick Bows.
14:41
I don't know about Frick Warner.
14:42
Well, you know what?
14:43
Forget about that.
14:44
Forget about that.
14:45
Forget about that.
14:46
Forget about that.
14:47
But that's, that's all I have to say for the 49ers.
14:51
Hopefully they win.
14:52
If they don't, well, then, oh, well, I don't care because guess what?
14:54
It's not my team.
14:55
Okay.
14:56
Moving forward to the other offensive linemen on the other side of the ball.
15:00
Cameron Hayward, defense of tackle for the six time, six time.
15:05
You thought I wasn't going to do it, but I was going to do it six time, six time, six
15:10
time, six time.
15:13
Super Bowl champions.
15:14
Yes, I did that.
15:15
I'm going to continue to do that.
15:16
Now, if we have a second episode this week, I might just do it again.
15:21
Yes, I'm going to do it.
15:23
Oh, and I'm letting you guys know right now to all the people that are Cowboys fans.
15:30
And you guys do have to go up against us.
15:32
And if you guys do lose, just know I've already told my friends who are Cowboys fans, you
15:37
will be getting called out on that episode.
15:40
You have been warned now back to our regular program.
15:44
Cameron Hayward ain't a quote unquote three year, $45 million extension to stay with the
15:50
Steelers, 29 million guarantee.
15:52
And apparently he gets a 15 plus million dollar signing bonus.
15:56
Now this is what I will, this is what I'll do first.
15:59
Okay, I'm going to explain it and then we're going to sort of go into a deep dive.
16:05
So essentially from the, from the, from a media standpoint, they're reporting it as
16:11
a three year, $45 million dollar deal.
16:13
When in actuality, it's actually a two year deal, right?
16:18
And so basically what they did was they converted his base salary, if I'm not mistaken, for
16:24
this year, they can, they converted it into a signing bonus, which actually saves the
16:30
team actually about nine, nine million, nine plus million in, in cap space, right?
16:37
And so, you know, when, when we look at this here, according to NFL pro last season, the
16:42
Steelers were more effective in defending the run with Cam on the field than off.
16:47
And so, you know, this is what I will say.
16:49
Okay.
16:50
And I was definitely on the fence about, you know, giving, giving the extension to Cam,
16:57
simply because of, you know, the injury that he had suffered and just seeing how a lot
17:03
of times when teams give these older players, these, you know, these bigger, these bigger
17:09
time contracts, how it affects them, not, you know, immediately, but like later on down
17:14
the road, I've seen it and it just doesn't end well.
17:18
But you know, for this to be essentially a two year extension, it's actually really
17:21
good, you know, it's definitely a team friendly deal.
17:25
And you know, let's, let's, let's be real here, folks.
17:28
Cam Hayward as a run stuffer is still one of the best, right?
17:33
Now when it comes to pass rush moves and all those different types of things, that's a
17:36
different conversation for a different type of day.
17:38
Okay.
17:39
When it comes to run stuffing, he is still one of the best.
17:43
And that's what the Steelers need him for.
17:45
They need him to be a run stuffer and you can still play in the league, you know, at
17:52
an older age as a, as a run stuffer, look at Kalei is Campbell Kalei is Campbell as
17:58
old as he is, is still being, it's still, you know, one of the best of the best, especially
18:03
at what run stuff.
18:05
He's not, you know, being a patch rusher and all those different types of things.
18:08
He is mainly for clogging up the middle.
18:11
And that's what Cam is doing basically.
18:15
And so, you know, it was definitely, it was definitely some turmoil.
18:19
You can definitely, you know, see, you know, in the earlier parts of the off season, you
18:24
know, him emphasizing that he wants to be here and, you know, he just wants to be compensated
18:29
and one nine.
18:30
He doesn't want to follow into the same footsteps that other Steelers greats have fallen where,
18:36
you know, basically they've been, you know, booted out of, you know, booted out of, you
18:40
know, booted into retirement, you know, when you look at Troy situation, we look at the
18:44
look at Heinz Ward situations and, you know, other noticeable players.
18:49
So, you know, all in all, he's, you know, he wants to stay with this team as long as
18:55
he can.
18:56
And I don't, I don't blame him for it.
18:57
I think the team is still in a good, in a good place.
19:01
I think next year, I will say this as an early prediction.
19:05
I do think that, you know, with them emphasizing the offense in line for the past two years,
19:11
I think they're now going to shift towards the defensive line because as of right now,
19:16
the only upside that you have on the defensive line is Keanu Benton and you need somebody
19:22
else along with Keanu Benton in order to make things really productive, right?
19:27
And with it being a defensive heavy class and multiple, you know, deep, multiple really
19:33
good defensive prospects are coming out of, you know, are coming out next year, like Mason
19:39
Graham and Dion Walker.
19:41
I mean, that's a good opportunity, right?
19:43
If you get, if you get one of those two, right, and you have them to just sit and to learn
19:49
under someone like a Cameron Hayward, that's great.
19:53
That's great because then he understands the traditions, the culture, the standards, all
19:58
those different types of things.
20:00
And once Cam feels like, okay, this is my last ride.
20:03
I'm ready to go out.
20:05
I did everything that I could do.
20:08
Cool.
20:09
And that way you know that, you know, it's in the hands of the next generation of great
20:14
Steelers defensive linemen because that's what they need at this point.
20:17
They need to bolster up the defensive line because just having TJ Y, Alex Highsmith,
20:25
Larry O'Owen, Joe B, Cameron Hayward, Keanu Benton, that's not going to get it.
20:29
They got to bring in some fresh blood at this point.
20:32
And you know, to the people that say that, oh, Cam is, is watch this and the other cam
20:37
has been more productive and more consistent.
20:41
Even when he was hurt last year, even when a lot of people were saying that that injury
20:45
was, was worse than what it was and that he probably should have stayed out, you know,
20:50
for the season and whatnot.
20:51
He still came in and he still tried to do his part and you can't take that away from
20:56
him compared to Larry O'Owen, O'Owen, Joe B, who no, just no disrespect to him.
21:01
But ever since that foot injury and ever since he left the bangles, he has not been the same
21:06
player.
21:07
He just has not.
21:08
And it shows.
21:09
Sure, you'll see, you know, flashes and, you know, here, there and everywhere, but it's
21:14
still, you still don't see the same player than what you saw from a few years ago.
21:18
Case in point, that is why he didn't get the deal that he got from the bangles because
21:24
a writ, I mean, not, not the bangles from the Bears because originally he was supposed
21:29
to ink a crazy deal with the Bears.
21:32
But the only reason why he didn't get that deal was because he failed his physical because
21:37
of his Liz Frank injury.
21:39
If you guys don't know what Liz Frank injury is, it's basically an injury under, under
21:44
your foot.
21:46
And so basically like it can, it can make your foot feel like real tender, like real uncomfortable.
21:51
So like, well, what's the best way to put it?
21:54
There's a lot of nerves like under your feet.
21:57
And sometimes if you, if they're damaged and whatnot, it can like really, it can be really
22:02
painful and whatnot.
22:05
So you know, I say all that to say this, even though I just, I just became a quick doctor
22:12
for, you know, for a second, but who cares?
22:16
You know, this was definitely a great deal.
22:19
It's glad that, you know, this is a team friendly deal.
22:22
Now this, now that this is taken care of, all you have to worry about is Pat Fryer move
22:27
and even then with Pat Fryer move as your back row domicense, I want to put out this
22:30
prediction.
22:31
I don't even think that deal is going to be relatively, you know, as crazy as what people
22:36
think it is.
22:37
I think when you look at the numbers, the initial numbers, I think people are probably
22:42
going to like blow it out of proportion.
22:43
I'm going to be thinking, oh, this is horrible.
22:45
This is bad for the team.
22:47
This than the other blah, blah, blah.
22:48
And it's like, no, when you look at the structure of the deal, then you're going to be like,
22:53
okay, I get it now.
22:55
Right.
22:56
And so honestly speaking, it's, it's, it's a good situation.
23:00
It's a really good situation.
23:01
The Steelers have, you know, catch space just in case if they need to make a move, you know,
23:06
in season or whatnot.
23:07
So all in all, a great situation for them now on to the other person.
23:12
So cornerback, well, slot cornerback, Michael Carter, the second for the jets into a three
23:17
year, 30.75 million dollar deal that can go up to 33 million.
23:24
Okay.
23:25
19 million in total guarantees.
23:26
He'll be making 10.2 million a year.
23:29
Okay.
23:30
So the 42 NFL pro last season, he had the third highest tight window target rate in the season
23:36
at 38.2%.
23:38
Okay.
23:39
The minimum was 40 targets.
23:41
Okay.
23:42
And of course, as I've just said, he is the highest paid slot corner in the league.
23:47
So when you look at it here, you know, the corner, the slot cornerback market has definitely
23:51
started to grow substantially, well, well, you know, if over the past few years, it's,
23:57
you know, it.
23:58
If I do, I think it'll probably get to the point where like, like where it is for the,
24:02
you know, for corners.
24:03
I don't know.
24:04
I really don't know.
24:06
But you know, slot corners have definitely become more effective and are being used more
24:10
by defensive coordinators.
24:12
A lot of, a lot of creep.
24:14
Hmm.
24:15
I can't speak.
24:16
I'm just so excited.
24:17
You guys understand.
24:18
I'm super excited.
24:19
They're, they're starting to use slot corners in a more creative way instead of just lining
24:24
up and covering, you know, receivers are in the slot.
24:27
They're using them in different blitz packages and, you know, all those different, you know,
24:33
different types of schemes and whatnot, and they're working.
24:36
And when you have someone like Michael Carter, who has been really productive and has been
24:40
one of the most productive, you know, slot corners in the league, then, you know, this,
24:45
this is what happens.
24:46
And not to mention it's a deal that doesn't necessarily break, you know, break the bank.
24:50
It's only 10.2 million a year.
24:52
That's not really that bad.
24:54
It really isn't.
24:55
Especially when you have someone who has been, you know, as consistent as he's been and has
25:00
been as productive as he's been, you know, in the slot, you know, it's, it's only right
25:06
to he, that he gets his, you know, they get his payday.
25:09
And, you know, what, what's crazy is as soon as the news dropped for that, Mike Hilton
25:14
posted posted the gift of, of Kevin Hart when he's just, you know, not in his head and whatnot.
25:20
So I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Hilton will probably be looking for more money.
25:24
You know, once this off season is, is done and whatnot, but onto the bigger, bigger,
25:30
bigger, bigger, bigger.
25:32
Okay.
25:33
Back alert.
25:34
Okay.
25:35
Patrick Sartain PS2.
25:37
Okay.
25:38
Ain't a four year, 96 million dollar deal, 77.5 million guaranteed.
25:45
He'll be making 24 million a year.
25:48
Now this is what I will say.
25:51
I was close.
25:52
I was close.
25:53
I was close.
25:54
But when we look at things though, right?
25:58
According to spot rack, his, they, the market value that they have for him was the three
26:01
years, 66.5 million, 22.1 million a year.
26:05
Now as your back row diamonds, I have to put this in there.
26:07
My prediction was three years, 73 million, 24.3 million a year.
26:14
Now when we look at this, this is definitely a curveball because I was not expecting this
26:20
at all, but you know, PS2 coming into the league was a lockdown corner, right?
26:26
And has held his own against some of the best receivers in the league.
26:30
Okay.
26:31
When I'm talking about, he's gone up against Kenyna.
26:34
He's gone up against the Vontae Adams, Justin Jefferson and company.
26:38
And when you all ask them, you know, who, who are the top corners that, you know, that
26:42
give you the problems, most of the times that are going to bring up PS2.
26:47
And you know, I, I remember vividly when PS2 was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was,
26:50
was coming out of Alabama.
26:52
I wanted the Steelers to get Patrick, Patrick Sarsane so bad because I know that he was
26:59
going to, that he was automatically going to be a number one lockdown corner.
27:04
And there was nothing that you can say otherwise.
27:07
You are talking about somebody who is sticky in coverage, who with no help holds his own,
27:15
holds his own.
27:16
I'm talking about a straight up dog when it comes to covering one-on-one, mono, mono
27:23
against some of the best route running receivers, some of the best physical receivers, just
27:27
some of the best receivers in the league, right?
27:30
Not to mention, apparently this off season, that 2018 Alabama group has generated well
27:39
over a billion dollars in NFL contracts this year.
27:44
And this just shows how great that team was, how great that court was.
27:51
And you know, kudos to, to, to Alabama and to Nick Saban for, you know, for all the things
27:58
that he did.
27:59
You know, I know a lot of people give him a lot of slack for, you know, for all the
28:02
various sound bites and clips that we see on social media and whatnot.
28:06
But you know, that coaching generated, you know, well over a billion dollars in NFL contracts
28:12
this year for all those players that was on that team.
28:15
So all in all, I think it's a W, honestly.
28:18
And it's, you know, the Broncos keep a, you know, a number one corner of their team.
28:25
Great.
28:26
Now the question is, are, you know, how are they going to build off of that?
28:30
Right?
28:31
Because again, you know, there's going to be a defensive minded, I mean, not defensive
28:34
minded, there's going to be a defensive heavy draft class.
28:37
So I mean, you know, there is a corner, you know, if you get that other corner, you know,
28:41
you're going to have two lockdown corners on your team.
28:44
I'm not going to give who the names will Johnson Michigan.
28:48
But yeah, so yeah, this is a really good situation for the Broncos, you know, because
28:54
let's be real here.
28:55
If PSD would have hit free agency, you would have never been able to get him back.
29:01
Never ever, ever, ever, ever.
29:04
Okay.
29:05
Now, speaking of corners, this will probably be my prediction for, for sauce.
29:11
I would say sauce is probably going to get 25.
29:15
I think so.
29:16
I think sauce is definitely going to get 25 because and that's, that's probably counting.
29:22
That's probably not even counting if he, you know, if he doesn't win the defensive player
29:25
of the year or any major award and whatnot.
29:28
If he wins a major award and you know, he has somewhat of a better statistical season
29:34
than what PS2 has had, like a legendary historic season, oh, bring, bring in the, bring, bring
29:41
in the bank.
29:42
Just, just bring the whole bang with you.
29:44
Bring, bring the tellers, bring the money machine, bring the ball, bring all those things.
29:49
Just bring it to the just facility right then and there.
29:52
Just bring it.
29:53
Just, just, just bring it because he is going to cash in folks.
29:56
Now, now that we've gotten all the baggler top away, we got to get into the real nooks
30:02
and crannies of this episode.
30:04
Okay.
30:05
So we got football.
30:06
Okay.
30:07
Ravens and Chiefs start off the season.
30:09
Okay.
30:10
The red carpet has been laid.
30:11
It is now, it is now time for people to walk down and do the do.
30:17
Okay.
30:18
Now, this is what I will say.
30:19
I'm going to start with the Ravens first and then we're going to go over to the Chiefs.
30:23
The Ravens, a lot, a lot is riding on this year for the Ravens, right?
30:28
And the reason why I say that is because this game could be, this game could be the start
30:35
of a great season or bad season, right?
30:38
I'm going to say that again.
30:40
This could be the start of a great season or bad season.
30:43
And the reason why I say that is because you want, you want to make this game a statement
30:50
game, right?
30:51
You want this game to make a statement to let people know that, listen, last year that
30:56
was, that was on us.
30:58
We didn't want to run the ball, but guess what?
31:00
We're going to make it right this year.
31:02
We're going to make it right.
31:04
And that's, this is how you do it.
31:05
This is the opportunity that you get.
31:07
If they punch the Chiefs in the mouth, I mean, we, we, we got to have a different conversation
31:13
folks.
31:14
We do because, you know, if, if I was a Ravens player and if I was there and you know, they,
31:22
they do the whole ceremony where they drop down the banner or, or, or, or however they
31:27
do it and they show the rings and different and what, you know, I think it might be mixing
31:31
basketball.
31:32
I think I'm mixing basketball for sure.
31:33
I don't know.
31:34
I don't know what they do, but I know they probably do something for, you know, for, for the Super
31:38
Bowl champions.
31:40
If I'm a Ravens player, oh, that, that's going to piss me off.
31:43
That's going to, because in my mind that's going to, that should, that should have been
31:48
us, right?
31:50
And you know, that, that should make you want to, to take the extra mile for everything,
31:55
you know, secure the tackle, make a, you know, make a play, make a block, you know, make
32:01
an interception, get a sack, all those different types of things.
32:04
It should make you want to go the extra mile because again, as of right now, the Chiefs
32:11
are the Kings of the NFL.
32:13
They are the Super Bowl champions.
32:14
And right now the Ravens are really close to dethroning them and they can dethrone
32:20
them.
32:21
They have the roster to do it.
32:22
They got, they went and got Derek Henry, which was great.
32:26
They, you know, they drafted Nate Wiggins and also TJ Tampa.
32:31
They have Kyle Hamilton.
32:32
They have Roquan.
32:33
They have Namdi, uh, uh, Meda Buque.
32:37
They yes, he changed his name.
32:39
So apparently yes on, on side.
32:42
No, he's not Justin Meda Buque anymore.
32:44
He's changing his name back to his original name, which is Namdi Meda Buque.
32:48
Now, this is what I'll say moving, moving back to, to, um, to football, the Ravens
32:54
have to show they have to be dominant.
32:58
They have to come out guns blazing.
33:01
They have to because if they don't, everyone's going to say, oh man, the Ravens are washed,
33:06
man.
33:07
All the things that they did in the off season was for nothing.
33:10
They're not going to do anything.
33:12
No, you got to come out here and you got to put Patrick Mahomes on the ground.
33:17
Every chance that you can get make this, make this an old physical old school Ravens game.
33:25
That's the only way that you're going to be able to go anywhere.
33:28
You have to put Patrick Mahomes in the ground.
33:30
You have to be in his face at all times because if you don't, if you give him a little bit
33:37
of leeway, he's going to come back.
33:39
We've seen it before multiple times and small games and in big games and even moments where,
33:45
where people are doubting Patrick Mahomes.
33:47
He always finds a way, but this Ravens defense, especially that offense, they have the weapons
33:53
and the firepower to do something different.
33:57
Now onto the chief side, the chiefs, you know, they're, they're in a situation where they
34:02
could go down and be historic.
34:04
They can be the first NFL team to win the, to do a three P, but at the same time, the
34:10
role to the Super Bowl this year is going to be the most difficult that they've ever
34:16
experienced this, you know, up until this point because why?
34:21
For one, that offense, they're going to have to rely so much not only on Travis Kelsey,
34:27
but on the run game, just to make up for the lack that they have in the receiving court.
34:32
Right.
34:33
You, you still don't know what's going to happen with Rashid Rice.
34:36
You still don't know.
34:37
You still don't know how long he's going to be suspended for.
34:39
Some people have thrown out half a season.
34:42
Some people have thrown out just three or four games.
34:44
We don't know, right?
34:46
Not to mention Hollywood Brown is, is come, is still coming off of injury as well.
34:51
So you know that that's going to take some time to, you know, to grow and whatnot.
34:56
Other than that, who else do you have in that receiving room that you can consistently rely
35:01
on?
35:02
You can't rely on juju.
35:04
You can't, you can't rely on juju.
35:06
Right.
35:07
You, you could probably, you know, probably feed it to him a few times, but to say that,
35:12
you know, you could give it to him 20, 30, 40 different times of, you know, a game.
35:16
No, that's not where juju is at this point in his career.
35:20
So you have that mixed with, you know, the defense, the defense has lost a lot of players,
35:27
you know, to the off season.
35:28
They have.
35:29
And, you know, it's, I mean, Trent, Trent McDuffie.
35:34
Okay.
35:35
He's, you know, he's pretty good, but he wasn't, you know, what, what Legerius Knee was.
35:39
And granted, the chiefs knew that they weren't going to be able to pay both Chris Jones and
35:44
Legerius Knee.
35:45
They knew that.
35:46
So they, they just made a decision where, okay, we have to prioritize Chris Jones and
35:51
just have to, you know, let go of Legerius Knee at that point.
35:54
And that's what they did.
35:57
Not to mention, you know, there, there's, there, there's just a lot of question marks
36:01
for this chiefs team.
36:02
And I feel like, you know, this is, and this is an early prediction.
36:05
I do feel like they're going to be a little bit active, you know, by, by the trade deadline,
36:11
just to patch up some holes and try to make some upgrades at certain positions.
36:15
Because again, I do feel like there's going to be some receivers that are going to be
36:19
shopped around, you know, around the trade, trade deadline.
36:25
And I, I wouldn't be surprised if the chiefs, you know, try to dip their hand and try to
36:29
make a move.
36:30
I wouldn't because they know that, you know, as of right now, this receiving court, it's
36:34
not good enough.
36:36
It's not good enough.
36:37
It's not, but can it, but, but can it be manageable?
36:40
Yes, it can be manageable because why you still have Andy Reed, who could come up with
36:46
a whole bunch of different creative plays and whatnot that can, you know, not only get
36:50
you down the field, but it also put points on the board.
36:53
So let's just wait and see what happens, you know, with this game.
36:58
But again, a lot is riding on this game for both sides of the ball.
37:02
It is.
37:03
I feel like it's, I feel like more, more pressure is on the Raven side than it is on the chief
37:09
side, but only time will tell.
37:12
Now onto somewhat of a scathing, but not surprise report that's come out lately.
37:18
So according to a Ben standing reporter for the athletic and anonymous, I can't even speak
37:26
an anonymous agent has, has somewhat come out on the terminal that's happened within
37:32
the New York Jets building.
37:35
Okay.
37:36
So this is what he said.
37:37
And I quote, there is complete disarray over there.
37:40
Look at how they've handled Aaron Rogers has one player had more power than him.
37:45
He skipped many camp.
37:46
They have been unable to convert him into a team player.
37:49
The vibe inside the building is terrible.
37:52
Now this is what I will say, you know, to, to this anonymous, I can't speak.
37:58
This is difficult word, right?
37:59
I know to the anonymous agent that has come out and said this, I don't know why you're
38:04
not surprised, right?
38:06
Aaron Rogers at this point, if you think that he's going to be a team player, you are sadly
38:11
mistaken.
38:12
Aaron Rogers is about him, him, him, him, him, him.
38:16
Okay.
38:17
And, you know, granted, he has, he's going to go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks
38:21
of all time.
38:22
And, you know, all those various accolades and all that other different type of stuff.
38:27
But the fact of the matter is, since being traded to the Jets, he has basically wielded,
38:33
you know, an iron fist around that team.
38:36
And, and they have done little to nothing about it.
38:40
They haven't, right?
38:42
And you know, when, when we look at this, it's a nasty situation.
38:47
It is.
38:48
And, you know, he's basically somewhat become of a snake oil salesman.
38:52
Hey, and he has sold this dream that basically, oh yeah.
38:56
We're going to go to the Super Bowl.
38:58
We're going to do this, that and the other blah, blah, blah.
39:00
There's different type of stuff.
39:01
We're going to be great.
39:02
We're going to be competitive.
39:03
We're going to be the Jets, J-E-T-S-Jets.
39:06
No.
39:07
Stop.
39:08
Get some help.
39:10
Drink some water because you're lying.
39:12
You're lying.
39:13
Let's call it for what it, let's call a spade, a spade here, folks.
39:17
This, this has been a shit show with this whole acquisition of Aaron Rogers.
39:24
It has been because you, it's always been about him.
39:30
The spotlight always has to been about him.
39:33
And you know, at this point, Robert Silas is going to lose his job because of Aaron
39:40
Rogers.
39:41
That's just what it is.
39:42
He's going to lose his job because of Aaron Rogers, because Aaron Rogers ignorance and
39:48
inability to be a team player and try to change, you know, his, his perception that, that a
39:55
lot of people have about him.
39:58
It, it is just a horrible situation.
40:02
It really is.
40:03
I can't even really come up with the words about it because it's like, he is really,
40:07
you know, selling it like, oh, yeah, we're competitive.
40:10
Yeah, we're going to be great.
40:12
This than the other.
40:13
And then you have quotes of like, we have to, you know, eliminate the BS out of the,
40:20
you know, out of the building one now.
40:22
Well, if the shoe fits where it, because if I'm not mistaken, there's only one person
40:27
that's really been bringing in the BS and that's been you, Aaron.
40:30
It's been nobody else.
40:31
It's been you.
40:33
It's been specifically you, no one else.
40:37
And you know, everyone is, is trying to come together, try to be competitive and try to
40:42
actually do something different than what the normal jets teams have done in the past.
40:49
And you and everyone is looking to you because you've been there.
40:53
You've won a Lombardi.
40:54
You've experienced the confetti.
40:56
You've experienced holding a Lombardi trophy.
40:58
You experienced all those different emotions and feelings and what now when you win a championship,
41:05
they have it.
41:06
They're trying to experience it and they know that, listen, you are the only person that
41:11
can take us to that point.
41:13
And they trust you enough that you are going to do it.
41:16
And so far you have not done it.
41:18
Now granted, I can't really, I can't get on him as much last year simply because he got
41:25
hurt that, that, that was out of his control, right?
41:29
But at the end of the day, there should have been a different mindset, a different tone.
41:34
Just everything should have been different after last season.
41:39
It just should have been different.
41:40
And it hasn't.
41:42
And you know, I would not be surprised that once this whole Aaron Rodgers dream, because
41:48
that's exactly what it is.
41:50
It's nothing else.
41:51
It's just a dream.
41:52
I think once this is over with, I think you're going to see a lot of reports from anonymous
41:58
players and, you know, people within the front office and, you know, just people within that
42:04
jets locker room, front office, wherever management, wherever, you're going to hear a lot of the
42:10
scavenging, scathing reports about Aaron Rodgers.
42:13
You are because he's, he's just, he, he's just moving to the beat of his own drum.
42:20
And I granted, you know, at this point of his career, you know, he can have a little
42:23
bit of leeway and whatnot.
42:25
But if you want to set a different tone, if you want to set a different culture, if you
42:30
want to change, if you want to have people have a different mindset, then you have to
42:34
be the person to do it because you're the quarterback and people look to the quarterback
42:39
to change things.
42:40
Right.
42:41
And if you're just, you know, coming off as lackadaisical, non salon, not really giving
42:48
a care about, you know, about trying to win or let alone just be competitive, then guess
42:55
what?
42:56
It's going to show and it's showing.
42:59
It's showing.
43:00
And, you know, maybe, maybe things change.
43:05
Maybe the, maybe the, the, the switch, you know, changes, you know, once the season starts,
43:10
I don't know.
43:11
But the fact of the matter is I'm not surprised that something like this has come out and
43:16
I would not be surprised if more stuff comes out before Thanksgiving.
43:21
I would not be surprised.
43:22
Now on to dabbosweenie.
43:24
Yes, we're, we're doing something with college football.
43:27
We finally decided, well, I finally decided to do some with college football simply because
43:32
it's college football.
43:33
I mean, NFL football is great, but we, who was a lot, there's a lot going on with, with
43:40
college football.
43:41
So dabbosweenie, you know, head coach for, for Clemson basically just got a viscerated.
43:46
I'm talking about a viscerated by Georgia this past weekend.
43:53
And you know, a lot of Clemson, you know, fans are really pissed.
43:58
Oh, they, they want, they want dabbos, they want dabbos front and center.
44:05
I'm talking about bringing him here.
44:08
He must go immediately.
44:10
They lost to Georgia 34 to three, 34 to three.
44:17
That scoreline right there is a scoreline of basically the older cousin being the younger
44:22
cousin.
44:23
Okay.
44:24
That's basically what it is.
44:25
And this is horrible.
44:27
Okay.
44:28
So they, these, these just a few notes that, that I decided to, to jot down before, before
44:34
we get into the, you know, the meat and potatoes about this particular topic.
44:38
So as of right now, dabbosweenie has a, has 170 wins, 44 loss record, eight, eight ACC
44:47
championships and two national championships, both in 2016 and 2018 hasn't appeared in the
44:52
playoffs since 2020, he has a buyout according to the spot rack of 60 million in both this
44:58
year and next year.
45:00
He's you know, he's, he came to speak, he's had multiple players, you know, come out
45:06
and be successful to Sean Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Mike Williams, T Higgins, Justin
45:10
Ross, Hunter Renfrow, Travis, ETN, just to name a few.
45:15
And you know, Clemson has not started a single transfer player in the portal era.
45:21
And you know, they were the only team to not add a transfer this off season.
45:25
So when we look all, when we look at all of this, this is what I will say.
45:31
And this, this is, you know what, this is a perfect analogy to run with it.
45:34
You ever know, or you ever, you ever heard the, the analogy, if it's not broke, don't
45:39
fix it.
45:41
That's what dabbosweenie is.
45:43
If it's not broke, don't fix it.
45:45
Right.
45:46
And you know, for the longest time, you know, during, during the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018,
45:52
you know, he was, he was at the top.
45:54
He was at the top of his game.
45:55
He was the Krim De La Krim.
45:57
You know, Clemson was a place that a lot of people wanted to go to.
46:00
A lot of people, you know, switched their, their transfers and I mean, they're not transfer,
46:06
switched their commitments from other colleges and went to Clemson.
46:08
Well, not just because of the notoriety and the aura and those different types of things,
46:14
but now it's basically become stacked in, you know, and it shows, it definitely shows.
46:19
And granted, I understand Georgia is the, is, you know, one of the best college football,
46:23
you know, teams, you know, in, in college football, I get all that.
46:27
But at the same time, 34 to three, 34 to three D, uh, Dabbo, that's not good.
46:34
That's not good, bro.
46:35
That's horrible.
46:36
That's absolutely atrocious.
46:40
And you know, if, if I'm a Clemson fan, I would, I would right, uh, rightfully be upset
46:45
because since, since Trevor Lawrence was the quarterback, they have not done anything,
46:52
anything, and that's horrible.
46:55
You, you are living in, in an era now where the transfer portal is basically your best
47:02
friend if you're a coach, right?
47:04
And you have to rely sometimes on the transfer portal and I get it.
47:08
I understand that you don't want to do different things and change might be different and all
47:12
those different types of things.
47:14
I get that.
47:15
But at some point you have to adapt to the changing times.
47:19
And if you do not adapt to the changing times, you yourself are going to be stagnant and then
47:24
you are going to fail.
47:27
And that is what happened with Clemson, right?
47:30
Because remember Clemson used to be a almost, uh, a factory and I'm talking about, they used
47:36
to produce multiple first rounders and you know, high quality, you know, players now
47:41
do, did all those players, you know, pan out?
47:43
No, not really, but that's another story for another day though.
47:48
But you know, but when we look at it now, it's just, it's everything has just become
47:53
stagnant with them.
47:55
Both sides of the ball.
47:57
I wouldn't be surprised if they're still running the same offense that they did in 2016 and
48:01
2018.
48:02
I would not be surprised.
48:03
I just wouldn't.
48:04
I have to make some changes at some point.
48:07
And you know, to the people that would say, well, what about Nick Saban and what, what
48:14
is that?
48:15
The reason why he left Alabama?
48:16
No, the reason why that he left is because he realized and he knew that he could not
48:22
do his job effectively with the NIO and with the structure of the NIO in place.
48:29
He knew that he knew that I can't, I can't do my job as a coach.
48:34
And try to bring the best out of these players when, when all we're talking about is money.
48:41
Right.
48:42
And, you know, you're having, when you're having players who have NIO deals where,
48:47
you know, they're getting five or six million a year or better yet, there is an NIO deal
48:53
and I'm not lying when I say this.
48:55
I think he is the quarterback for Ole Miss.
48:58
He literally gets a private jet to go to any of the college games if you wanted to.
49:06
I'm going to say that again, just in case, just in case you didn't hear.
49:09
Right.
49:10
I'm going to get a little bit closer to the mic so you can hear me.
49:12
Okay.
49:13
There is a quarterback from not mistaken at Ole Miss, Ole Miss, who has an NIO deal
49:21
where he gets a private jet to go to any of the college football games.
49:26
Now, if you're someone like, like coach Saban, who coaches hard and, you know, emphasizes
49:33
on hard work and, you know, all those different types of things, you would lose it.
49:40
You would lose it because it's like, bro, I can't, what makes you, what, what makes
49:45
you different from everybody else?
49:48
Nothing.
49:49
Nothing.
49:50
And, you know, it's frustrating.
49:52
So either way you look at it, you know, I think Clemson.
49:56
I think Clemson is in a point where they can still go back to being that competitive
50:01
team they used to give, not only teams like Alabama and LSU and Georgia and other other
50:08
power, you know, power five schools problems, but I think they could definitely be dominant,
50:13
you know, in their own conference, but it has to start from the top.
50:18
And Dabble Sweeney, you know, has the power and the leverage to make those type of changes.
50:23
And if you are not willing to make those changes, well, then guess what?
50:26
You are still going to be stagnant and then you're basically going to be pressured to,
50:32
you know, to just, to just get the buyout and go at this point.
50:36
That's basically where we're starting to get to because when you've, when you saw, you
50:42
know, that 2016 Clemson team and especially that 2018 Clemson team, those were, those
50:47
were a dynamic, you know, great, you know, college football teams.
50:54
And just to see that fall from grace just happening, it's, it's bad.
50:58
It's really bad.
50:59
And, you know, that's probably why Nick Saban, you know, left when he left because he probably,
51:05
he probably saw like, listen, between the NIL deals and everything that's coming with
51:10
that, it's probably going to be hard.
51:11
And granted, he was somebody that, that was for, you know, players getting compensated
51:17
and whatnot, but the, the, the wildness that in somewhat of a, not cowboy, but just the,
51:25
the, the dysfunction of the NIL structure is just so bad at this point that when you
51:32
have a coach like Nick Saban, who, you know, is, is somewhat old school, it can definitely,
51:40
it can be hard because it's like, bruh, how in the world can you try to convince a kid
51:45
to, you know, to, to, to come to practice on time, you know, do the drills, go to, you
51:50
know, go to class and all those different types of things when he's got an NIL deal
51:55
where he gets in, where he gets a new car and, you know, he's making about two or three million
51:59
dollars a year.
52:00
Right.
52:01
Like that's, that's going to be hard.
52:05
That's going to be really hard to do.
52:08
And that's where we are right now.
52:11
And that's why you see certain coaches like Diaboswini who have become stagnant and, you
52:17
know, are regressing instead of progressing.
52:20
And at some point they're probably going to be kicked out.
52:23
Not surprised.
52:24
He'll, he'll go down as, you know, as, as if not the best Clemson coach of all time,
52:28
one of the best Clemson coaches of all time.
52:30
But, you know, at some point you got to get to the end of the road.
52:34
You know, if, if I could play Jodicy into the road, I would play it right now, but don't
52:39
want to get sued for that.
52:40
So we're not going to do it, but moving on to the final topic though.
52:44
Yes, we have to talk about the bangles, the bungles.
52:48
Yes, the bungles, the bungles.
52:51
Yes.
52:52
So apparently things are still in, in a somewhat of a crapshoot between the bangles and Jamar
53:00
Chase.
53:01
And Jamar Chase is still looking for a deal, but you know, it's been really stagnant.
53:09
This is what I will say.
53:10
Do I think a deal could probably get done within the next 48, you know, 72 hours, probably
53:15
before game day?
53:16
Yes, it can.
53:17
It's happened before.
53:19
It's happened multiple times.
53:20
But do I think, do I think the bangles have their feet, you know, have their feet in the
53:26
sand and then basically drawn their line and basically let it be known that they're not
53:30
going to do it?
53:31
Yes, I do believe that.
53:33
But at some point, you know, if you're, if you're Jamar Chase, you just have to, it
53:39
is what it is.
53:41
It is what it is that that's the mindset that you have to have at this point, because if
53:45
you don't, you, you're not only going to hurt yourself, but you're also going to hurt the
53:51
team as well because they need Jamar Chase on, on the field.
53:56
They need him.
53:57
If Jamar Chase is not in that field, that is a whole different bangles game.
54:01
I mean, a whole different bangles team and you don't want that.
54:05
You do not want that.
54:06
So I say all that to say this, you know, is, is Jamar Chase, you know, trying to reset
54:12
the market?
54:13
He probably is trying to reset the market, but if I'm the bangles, I'm not about to do
54:17
that.
54:18
No, I'm not about to do that, especially when I just did it for Joe Burrow.
54:22
No, I'm not doing that.
54:23
Sure.
54:24
I'll probably, I'll pay you in the pain range of between brand IEUIC and who was the person
54:30
that just got paid.
54:31
Who was the person that just got paid?
54:32
I know someone just got paid.
54:33
I just, and seeding lamb, I'll probably pay you in that range, but to say that I'm going
54:37
to pay you, you know, this crazy amount of money, like more than what, you know, Justin
54:42
Jefferson is getting.
54:43
No, I'm not doing that.
54:44
And I would definitely support that because Jamar Chase is not better than Justin Jefferson.
54:49
He's not, not even by a mile is he better than Justin Jefferson.
54:55
Come on, man.
54:56
What are we talking about?
54:57
So, you know, it's, it's, it's just a very difficult situation.
55:02
It's a very rocky situation, especially when you have Zach Taylor, who essentially put
55:06
his foot in his own mouth and say, Oh yeah, Jamar Chase is going to practice.
55:09
Oh yeah.
55:10
He's, he's definitely going to be here for practice.
55:12
And then guess what?
55:13
The next day, guess what Jamar Chase did?
55:14
He came there late and in street clothes.
55:18
So after that, Zach Taylor was like, you know what?
55:21
I'm not going to say anything.
55:23
I'm just going to wait and see just like everybody else is doing.
55:26
So maybe, maybe not.
55:29
But who knows?
55:30
Because even when we look at Spirox market value for Jamar Chase, it's only at 31 million.
55:36
Right.
55:37
So what they have for him is a three year, $93 million deal, which like I just said is
55:42
31 million.
55:43
So roughly, you know, 31, that's still a really good number.
55:47
It really is.
55:48
And even then, if the Bengals wanted to, they could front load the deal.
55:52
There's so many different ways that they could structure this deal.
55:54
So, you know, the longer that this thing draws out, the worse it sort of looks like on both
56:01
parties, but at the same time, you know, it's, it's a difficult situation because guess what?
56:07
If you pay Jamar Chase, then, you know, you're definitely going to limit yourself, you know,
56:13
moving forward.
56:15
You are.
56:16
And, you know, I don't know if the Bengals want to do that.
56:19
I think the Bengals still want to be competitive without having to, you know, reset the market
56:24
for this person, that person.
56:25
But at the same time, even though I keep going in and out and contradicting myself sometimes,
56:32
this is the price that you pay when you draft superstars.
56:35
Right.
56:36
Jamar Chase, superstar, Joe Burrow.
56:39
Star.
56:40
Star.
56:41
Not superstar.
56:42
Just star.
56:43
You didn't hear from me.
56:46
But moving forward, you know, that's, that's what happens.
56:49
The case in point, that's why they had to let go of Joe Mixing because, you know, the,
56:54
the price tag for the offense started getting a little bit expensive and, you know, it's
56:59
just a nasty situation.
57:00
But you know what?
57:01
I wouldn't be surprised by the time I'm done with this episode and I'm starting to edit
57:04
this episode.
57:05
Guess what's going to happen?
57:06
Jamar Chase, Inc.
57:07
I would not be surprised.
57:09
And if that happens, I am going to cry.
57:13
But I want to end it here.

58:43
I, I, it's starting to look like a lot of teams are beginning to finalize, um, you know,
58:49
finals and trying to create some cat space prior to the season starting.
58:53
So it's a wait and see.
58:55
You're still got a lot of people that want to get paid.
58:57
Who knows.
58:58
Still got a lot of notable free agents that are out here as well.
59:01
Who knows?
59:02
Who knows?
59:04
But as always, I love you guys.
59:06
I appreciate you guys so much.
59:08
Thank you again for listening.
59:10

59:12
I would say if there wasn't a breaking news of a bag alert, well, just as I was getting
59:21
ready to get up and start recording and whatnot, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
59:27
Someone just had to get paid.
59:28
So guess who just got paid folks?
59:31
Guess who I just got another baggler.
59:34
Sam Cosme guard for the commanders.
59:37
Disagree on a four year deal waiting on the numbers to drop.
59:41
But you know, all in all, Sam, Sam Cosme has definitely been a consistent guard since being
59:47
with the commanders.
59:49
All in all, just a great, you know, just a great situation.
59:53
Honestly, I guarantee you the numbers are nothing like, you know, super crazy and whatnot.
59:58
They're probably, you know, pretty reasonable and whatnot.
1:00:00
But, you know, all in all, they definitely needed to take care of their offense linemen.
1:00:06
And, you know, if we can be real here, Sam Cosme has probably been their best offensive
1:00:11
linemen, you know, so far.
1:00:14
So I mean, well, you might as well take care of him now than to try to, you know, try to
1:00:19
fight tooth and nail to bring him back in, you know, through, through free agency and
1:00:23
whatnot.
1:00:24
So all in all, great situation.
1:00:26
But just know this when those numbers do drop.
1:00:28
I will either post them on the story on our Instagram football underscore junkies pod.
1:00:32
Again, that's football underscore junkies pod.
1:00:35
Or I'll just talk about them in the next episode.
1:00:38
So now this is where we ended.
1:00:40
Okay, this is where we've hit the hour mark.
1:00:42
Okay, this is it.
1:00:43
We're done.
1:00:44
We're done.
1:00:45
Peace and love.
1:00:46
I love you guys.
1:00:47
I appreciate you guys so much.
1:00:48
All that other stuff, blah, blah, blah.
1:00:49
I'm out.
1:00:50
Peace.
