  Social landry football dot Com. You mentioned Kirk Cousins. He is in now
• 0:04
  for Atlanta four year deal worth one hundred and eighty million forty five million average
• 0:08
  per year. He'll get ninety million over two years and fifty million to sign.
• 0:13
  Your thoughts of him and what this this means now for Atlanta in that
• 0:18
  division with the Saints Tampa Bay. Baker Mayfield obviously last week or the end
• 0:22
  of last week inks his extension there with Tampa Bay as well. First of
• 0:27
  all, how do you like Kirk Cousins good quarterback? Yes, difference maker.
• 0:36
  I think you can debate that he will have racked up now when I
• 0:40
  see the details of the contract and sometimes what's guaranteed and which he will have
• 0:44
  earned with this contract over three hundred million dollars in his career. That's unbelievable.
• 0:51
  I mean, we're not talking Patrick Mahomes, We're not talking about we're
• 0:53
  not told about. We're talking about good quarterback, good Stuart. No one
• 0:58
  has worked this system his He's faster than Kirk Cousins. But I just can't
• 1:03
  get back up. What's it going to do for Justin Fields's market? You
• 1:08
  mentioned Baker Mayfield. You know I think we discussed this, and we discussed
• 1:12
  this with talking about draft guys like JJ McCarthy, and it's the same thing
• 1:18
  supplying the man. I don't know that the Bucks feel all that comfortable pain
• 1:23
  Baker Mayfield as much as they have, but that's the market without him.
• 1:26
  Where do you go. Well, you start looking at it, you're going
• 1:30
  to be paying almost as much for somebody that maybe you got even less confidence
• 1:34
  then. And that's why Kirk Cousins can make three hundred million over his career
• 1:40
  in this this environment. So it's to me, the quarterback situation is always
• 1:45
  the most interesting. It's with the fans and the media focus on the most
• 1:48
  But because of supplying the man, no one, no one gets more,
• 1:53
  you know, per value or overvalue than quarterback positions. Chris, speaking of
• 2:00
  quarterback positions, just came across Gardner Minshew was headed to the Raiders two year
• 2:06
  deal. He'll compete with Aidan O'Connell and you know, for Mitchell, I
• 2:09
  want to get your thoughts on this new quarterback room for the Raiders. We
• 2:14
  know this. Anytime you're you know, a fourth, fifth, sixth round
• 2:16
  pick like Minshew was out of Washington State, had to battle you know,
• 2:21
  the incumbent there in Jacksonville, and of course he got hurt, and then
• 2:23
  Trevor Lawrence comes in. He goes to Philly. You know, if you
• 2:28
  look at Jalen Hurt's first round pick, had to battle that if Anthony Richardson.
• 2:31
  But now finally is going to get a shot at least it looks like
• 2:35
  a fair shot with Aiden O'Connell for that job for the Raiders. He's a
• 2:39
  backup caliber quarterback that has started a number of games and obviously started with when
• 2:46
  Anthony Richardson went down because he played a lot and he's done an admirable job.
• 2:53
  Again, market value is what it is. He's kind of a he
• 2:57
  said, compete for the starting job. He's a guy that you're ultimately gonna
• 3:00
  want to settle with and build your team around. With the Raiders. No,
• 3:05
  but he's better than what you got and at least gives you some insurance
• 3:08
  with a younger guy. But but Gorner has more experience. You know,
• 3:15
  eventually they're going to have to get somebody better. But there again, not
• 3:20
  to be repetitive, you just don't have enough quarterbacks and so when you don't
• 3:23
  have high quality starters, you go get somebody that's started then functionally well grades
• 3:31
  out primarily as a backup, but at times can play at a starting level.
• 3:35
  I mean, you get it. I mean he's a great number two
• 3:38
  quarterback, but he can get a little bit more money and now compete for
• 3:43
  a starting job. That's the market, and that's he's played it well himself.
• 3:47
  The agents obviously know the system well and and the players do as well.
• 3:53
  So good for him, and we'll see how well he does on a
• 3:55
  team that's trying to chase and then figure things out in a in a very
• 4:00
  competitive division. Of course, they s to West
