- 0:04Speaker 1: All right, here we are for a special pod, a
- 0:07Speaker 1: cam pod, a cam with cam because of cam pod
- 0:12Speaker 1: on off the Edge, I'm your host cam and I
- 0:16Speaker 1: mean today we normally talk about you know who we're
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to bring on or things around the league, and
- 0:21Speaker 1: we'll get to that. But I'm taking this because it's
- 0:24Speaker 1: my part and I do what I want. No, I'm
- 0:27Speaker 1: just kidding, but we are going to talk about my announcement.
- 0:29Speaker 1: How I'm playing until the year fifteen. How maybe it
- 0:33Speaker 1: came about in like the last seven two hours. It
- 0:36Speaker 1: became like a whirlstorm. You know, I was traveling and
- 0:39Speaker 1: enjoying the off season, et cetera. Knew that you know,
- 0:43Speaker 1: league started, a league year was coming up. Things had
- 0:45Speaker 1: to switch around, change, there's guys, we paid guys, contracts,
- 0:50Speaker 1: me to be restructure, revised, whatever it was. And I
- 0:52Speaker 1: silmore fell in between all that, you know, landed on
- 0:56Speaker 1: a Sunday from Germany visiting my visiting my sister who
- 0:59Speaker 1: live out there with her husband and my two nieces.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And yeah, I got a deal done by Wednesday. It
- 1:06Speaker 1: was crazy how that thing came through.
- 1:08Speaker 2: But we'll get to it. We'll also talk about.
- 1:11Speaker 1: You know, a free agency around the league and what
- 1:13Speaker 1: that looks like, and yeah, stick with me, which brings us.
- 1:20Speaker 1: While we're in Germany, my agent calls me. Uh Friday
- 1:24Speaker 1: was like, hey, you know, we sort of got to
- 1:25Speaker 1: get something done. I got to check around the league.
- 1:28Speaker 1: If you want to go somewhere. I was like, go somewhere. Look,
- 1:30Speaker 1: I was like, if I have to go, I will go.
- 1:34Speaker 1: And you know, ranted a little bit. I was like,
- 1:36Speaker 1: look like, you know, I'm still in the contract. This
- 1:39Speaker 1: is you know, this is where I should be. My
- 1:42Speaker 1: contract says, you know, I got another year on it,
- 1:44Speaker 1: so unless they cut me out, I'm not leaving or
- 1:46Speaker 1: I'm not taking a pay reduction. And I was like,
- 1:48Speaker 1: you know, after talking about it, I'm like, look, I
- 1:51Speaker 1: want to win. And at the end of the day,
- 1:55Speaker 1: do I really want to go somewhere for the next
- 1:59Speaker 1: two years, next three years?
- 2:01Speaker 2: Maybe just this.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Year, you know, like year fifteen, year sixteen, years, seventeen.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I know, after year seventeen, i'd be fully done. I
- 2:07Speaker 1: got three years at tops, like you know, coleass Campbell
- 2:10Speaker 1: probably a year seventeen. Think about year eighteen. I'm like,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. I'm like, huh, salute to him.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Seventeen seems like a long ways away. We're gonna take
- 2:19Speaker 1: this year by year. So fifteen, let's figure this out.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I know it's you know, where do you where would
- 2:24Speaker 1: you see yourself going? I was like, well, nowhere cold.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I refused to go to Cleveland. Cleveland called. I won't answer,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're gonna say we never called good,
- 2:31Speaker 1: good God, I can't do it. One game in Cleveland
- 2:34Speaker 1: told me I'm not cut out for the snow negative
- 2:37Speaker 1: thirty degrees, twenty eight degrees whatever that was with my shield. No,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still scarred mentally, physically, emotionally. It was
- 2:44Speaker 1: over there looking like like ace off of paid the full.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I'm breathing different, I'm moving different.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Hated here, But.
- 2:53Speaker 1: When you think about, you know, the team's available, it's like,
- 2:55Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was so leave.
- 2:58Speaker 2: What is it worth it? Family loves it here.
- 3:01Speaker 1: The community work that I do here has been detrimental.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It's a part of me. It's such a big part
- 3:06Speaker 1: of me to walk around in New Orleans and know
- 3:08Speaker 1: that you're you're showing love here, to have the cam
- 3:12Speaker 1: Jordan Foundation take off the way did this last year.
- 3:15Speaker 1: You know, after we change from God is love, foundation.
- 3:17Speaker 2: To be, to be, have been in this community for the.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Last eight nine years. We're talking about a reduction in salary.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'm like, man, all right, figure it out, but like,
- 3:26Speaker 1: don't take too much. So let me let me, let
- 3:28Speaker 1: me fight some back. And so you know, the contract
- 3:31Speaker 1: is what it is. I mean, you can get the numbers,
- 3:33Speaker 1: but you'll figure that out online somewhere. I'm not just
- 3:35Speaker 1: gonna give it to you. But at the end of
- 3:38Speaker 1: the day, this is where I want to be. I
- 3:40Speaker 1: want I've always said I want to win a Super
- 3:42Speaker 1: Bowl in the Black and Gold. So if it ain't
- 3:45Speaker 1: all in to the black and Gold, maybe it's not
- 3:46Speaker 1: for me. And you got to realize there's guys that
- 3:50Speaker 1: go to different teams and try and win one, you know,
- 3:53Speaker 1: go go join up with the super Team and think
- 3:55Speaker 1: they're gonna win one and don't. And I feel like
- 3:58Speaker 1: all the old g's that I talked to, you know,
- 4:00Speaker 1: from Justin Tuck back in the day when he went
- 4:02Speaker 1: over to the Raiders. I mean, I probably I don't
- 4:06Speaker 1: know if I got privy to say this, but he
- 4:08Speaker 1: was like, you know, like maybe I was like I
- 4:09Speaker 1: wish I would have stayed with the Giants. You talk
- 4:12Speaker 1: about you know, Lamar Woodley from everybody else that you
- 4:15Speaker 1: see leave and don't.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Win a Super Bowl. You're like, well, what's her point?
- 4:18Speaker 1: You know, think about looking at Jerry Rice from the
- 4:23Speaker 1: Niners and then on another team, you just sort of
- 4:26Speaker 1: look at it. You're like, huh, Big Woods in the
- 4:29Speaker 1: safety Hall of Famer Robods and you're just like a
- 4:32Speaker 1: different jersey, is it? I look at shoot, I just.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Look at it. Even young guys when they leave.
- 4:37Speaker 1: You think about Noam day Asena go from Oakley Raiders
- 4:41Speaker 1: to you know Setle not yeah, the Philadelphia.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Not the same nam D.
- 4:49Speaker 1: You know. So luckily it's uh, you're fifteen from me
- 4:53Speaker 1: with the Saints, and we'll see what this ghals. You know.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I love it for me. I really love it for me.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Up, Uh, picking back up Chase Young, who's a who's
- 5:03Speaker 1: a hell of a hell of a athlete. When we
- 5:07Speaker 1: talk about you know, look the part six six yoked up,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you know, with the with the temperament where he wants
- 5:14Speaker 1: to be better and you I mean, I'll just I'm
- 5:16Speaker 1: just saying watch the tape.
- 5:17Speaker 2: He pops up frequently.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I mean, if you looked at years prior to the
- 5:22Speaker 1: way he was playing this year, That for it is
- 5:24Speaker 1: is clearly ascending. You know, you always want more, you know,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you see, I think he's top ten pressures in the
- 5:30Speaker 1: league this last year. And I mean just think of
- 5:34Speaker 1: those pressures turn into sacks. How much farther would he
- 5:36Speaker 1: have been? So there's a reason why you know, there
- 5:39Speaker 1: there's a plan. You bring in our new defensive defensive staff.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk about UH, I think it's
- 5:46Speaker 1: a solid pickup. We pick up Brandon Staley, who's de
- 5:49Speaker 1: coordner was a former head coach UH and the and
- 5:51Speaker 1: the defense that he brings in. I mean, you saw
- 5:53Speaker 1: how much success Khalil Mack had off the edge under him.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Of course, Joey Bosa when he was at the Chargers.
- 6:01Speaker 1: UH and I and beyond that, you know, the DC
- 6:03Speaker 1: guys they're putting that scheme together. You see, he's like, hey,
- 6:06Speaker 1: I want to utilize our players and what they're good at.
- 6:09Speaker 1: And you'd love to hear that. You love to hear,
- 6:10Speaker 1: and you know that he's got nothing but love for
- 6:12Speaker 1: the D line. Of course, you bring in Bo Davis
- 6:16Speaker 1: from LSU UH and I mean, first of all, I've
- 6:20Speaker 1: seen some of the rants on YouTube like he's going
- 6:22Speaker 1: after cats.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, fire Brimstone coach.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Okay, that's an interior D line coach if I've ever
- 6:27Speaker 1: seen one. And then from there you know, uh, he's
- 6:32Speaker 1: so he's an interior D line coach. LSU was upset like,
- 6:35Speaker 1: how could you take our coach because we needed them
- 6:37Speaker 1: more than you get, were trying to win the Super Bowl. Uh.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And we bring in Jay Rogers off the edges, I
- 6:44Speaker 1: mean he comes from that with that Vic Fangio Tree,
- 6:47Speaker 1: so as dealing with the edges, talking to him, talking
- 6:51Speaker 1: to Daley really led to help me with my decision
- 6:53Speaker 1: as well. Just talking to them while I was in
- 6:55Speaker 1: Africa again, while I was in Germany, right when I landed,
- 6:59Speaker 1: you know, Monday, and then Tuesday we figure something out.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think Wednesday we signed the deal whatever, whatever that
- 7:04Speaker 1: timeline is. Uh, the confidence in there, you know, we
- 7:07Speaker 1: extend chasing. I'm like, you know what, that's that's great
- 7:09Speaker 1: for our tea. There's young young blood in there. You
- 7:14Speaker 1: got Isaiah Fosky, Chase, young Carl Granderson, the young guns.
- 7:18Speaker 1: We're probably still gonna draft the end. Let's just be real.
- 7:20Speaker 1: We draft end every other year. It's been about two years,
- 7:22Speaker 1: so someone us that time for the Saints. No matter
- 7:25Speaker 1: what we need, we gon draft us an end. And
- 7:29Speaker 1: I said that because you know, I'm always pushing Let's
- 7:31Speaker 1: get us another dog at the interior D line. But
- 7:34Speaker 1: that's just it. We go get Davon Godchild, pure nose, runstopper,
- 7:39Speaker 1: team him up with Colin Saunders. You know, now you've
- 7:42Speaker 1: got Brian Brazi at the three shep that can switch boat,
- 7:46Speaker 1: you know, three end and the nose. You got Devon
- 7:49Speaker 1: Goshall and Colin Saunders, who we know can get swifty
- 7:54Speaker 1: in the interior. Man, I'm just like I've said I
- 7:57Speaker 1: said on Twitter.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I was like, yo, it's a.
- 7:59Speaker 1: D line starting to get stacked, and everybody was like, oh,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you don't know what Fosky can do.
- 8:02Speaker 2: You're right, he's year two, last year, he's coming to
- 8:07Speaker 2: the year three. He's gonna get some opportunities. Now we'll know.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And just like you know, I'm not saying, just like
- 8:14Speaker 1: how Trey Henderson had to wait his turn, but he
- 8:16Speaker 1: had to wait his turn, and now Trey Henderson should
- 8:18Speaker 1: be one of the highest paid defensive ends in the
- 8:20Speaker 1: next couple of weeks.
- 8:22Speaker 2: The guy who's had thirty five sacks in the last
- 8:24Speaker 2: two years. So don't write somebody's story. Think about it.
- 8:27Speaker 1: What Zach Bond dead, He goes over to Philadelphia, he
- 8:30Speaker 1: balls out, he shoot, I mean last year he was
- 8:33Speaker 1: at the Saints.
- 8:33Speaker 2: He started bawling out towards the end.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Got him a little one year proven and he proved
- 8:38Speaker 1: it all pro Zac Bond, you know, you see guys
- 8:42Speaker 1: do it all the time.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Malcolm Jenkins was a forever pro for the Saints.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Leaves, you know, leaves the Saints, goes to Philadelphia, not
- 8:49Speaker 1: only when Super Bowl, but becomes a Pro Bowl caliber player.
- 8:54Speaker 1: So like, let's just relax on being able to call
- 8:57Speaker 1: somebody a bus or whatever it is. Let him get
- 8:59Speaker 1: some time, y'all start to call Nola Smith the bus.
- 9:01Speaker 1: This last you know his after his first year, year three,
- 9:04Speaker 1: he was a Super Bowl Just relax. There's players that
- 9:08Speaker 1: need to develop. It's okay not to be a home
- 9:11Speaker 1: run hit off off the gates. It's hard to do,
- 9:14Speaker 1: but you can develop. You become a costly pro. You
- 9:17Speaker 1: can make yourself with the hard work, effort and the
- 9:19Speaker 1: ability to be special. You don't have to worry about
- 9:23Speaker 1: all that, you know, so like, let's just give our
- 9:25Speaker 1: times to grow. You're talking about you know, we got
- 9:27Speaker 1: a young pup, Christian.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Boyd give him some time to grow. You're one, Okay,
- 9:32Speaker 2: you're two, let's grow. We'll see what he is. You're two,
- 9:35Speaker 2: you're three, year four, it'll go from there. But I'm excited.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I mean, of course, Brian Young comes back, and you know,
- 9:41Speaker 1: he did a hell of a job taken over from
- 9:44Speaker 1: I almost said, BUMMDA data guy. Guy that was was
- 9:49Speaker 1: a former d decordinator with extras andos guy.
- 9:55Speaker 2: You know.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Jack Oh, just the guy with the pen and somehow
- 10:03Speaker 1: in the ability to put a pass rush playing together. Anyways,
- 10:11Speaker 1: glad we've moved on from that. So b Y took
- 10:14Speaker 1: over at the end of the year, and I mean
- 10:17Speaker 1: man brought some fresh air to the defense. I think
- 10:21Speaker 1: the first game he really took over, we played Washington,
- 10:24Speaker 1: the D line had like eight sacks, seven eight tea
- 10:28Speaker 1: maybe the team had eight. We had six to.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Seven out of those. So love to see where that progresses.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I mean, if we can get back to some early
- 10:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty four first two game productivity, Washington will retake
- 10:40Speaker 1: him to the wire and Washington is clearly a high
- 10:42Speaker 1: caliber team right now. It just went deep into the playoffs.
- 10:46Speaker 1: We took them to the wire. Could have been, could
- 10:47Speaker 1: have beat him, try to go for the two for
- 10:49Speaker 1: the win.
- 10:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So just know that our defense is rolling. Guys like Tomorrow, Davis, Tyre, Matthew.
- 10:54Speaker 1: We add in Justin Reid, We bring in, you know,
- 10:58Speaker 1: we bring in guys that I think can help. We
- 11:00Speaker 1: bring in a tight end. We bring in, I mean,
- 11:03Speaker 1: we extend. Juwan Johnson shout out to my dogs. Juwan Johnson.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to have him on the pod. You know,
- 11:08Speaker 1: he's he's him and his wife got a social media
- 11:11Speaker 1: page Jewish shan Uh, Yeah, I want to. I'ma let
- 11:16Speaker 1: y'all follow I'm sure they've got a million followers on
- 11:17Speaker 1: TikTok or whatever that is.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I'm I just started my TikTok journey. But we won't
- 11:21Speaker 2: talk about it. You know.
- 11:23Speaker 1: This is just this as a time where I'm excited
- 11:26Speaker 1: about our team, and I feel like every offseason I
- 11:28Speaker 1: get more excited about being on our team. I look
- 11:31Speaker 1: at our roster and I say, Chris o'live, I said,
- 11:32Speaker 1: what she she eat?
- 11:34Speaker 2: All right?
- 11:34Speaker 1: Derek Carr comes back. You know, uh, you got Specier
- 11:37Speaker 1: Ratler behind him, and he showed some promise, some gum shit.
- 11:39Speaker 1: But that's okay. It's okay to develop young players. And
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna keep saying it, it's okay. Look what
- 11:45Speaker 1: Jordan Loved did, sat on the bench for three years,
- 11:48Speaker 1: take three four years, takes over, shows some special they extend,
- 11:53Speaker 1: take them to the playoffs. You know what I'm saying, Like,
- 11:54Speaker 1: it's okay to develop young players. You don't just have
- 11:57Speaker 1: to be like we dropped him the first round, so
- 11:59Speaker 1: he has to produce. Now, you know, it's okay. I
- 12:02Speaker 1: almost imna keep saying it. It's okay to be okay.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Now for us missing the playoffs four years in a row,
- 12:09Speaker 2: it's not okay. But there's a.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Reason why we're pivoting head coach defense coaches, and if
- 12:15Speaker 1: it doesn't shake out, they're probably gonna.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Pivot for more players after this year.
- 12:19Speaker 1: It's okay to be okay, but it's not okay not
- 12:21Speaker 1: to succeed, and that's what we're trying to do. We're
- 12:23Speaker 1: trying to succeed as the Saints. So in my mind,
- 12:26Speaker 1: we've got a lot of talent and if you start
- 12:27Speaker 1: looking around the league where you're seeing a lot of
- 12:30Speaker 1: young talent get paid and maybe not see the productivity
- 12:33Speaker 1: that you'd want to see from the guys that are
- 12:35Speaker 1: getting those high dollars. I mean, there's some names I
- 12:37Speaker 1: had to look up. I was like, I don't know
- 12:39Speaker 1: who that is. Okay, but it's okay. He showed potential,
- 12:43Speaker 1: and I love it. When you're twenty three, twenty four
- 12:46Speaker 1: years old, twenty five years old, you get paid off potential.
- 12:49Speaker 1: At twenty nine, you get paid for what you have
- 12:51Speaker 1: you done for me? And what can you do for
- 12:53Speaker 1: my team? At thirty three you get paid for Hey,
- 12:57Speaker 1: this better be a hell of a year. And at
- 12:58Speaker 1: thirty five you get paid say hey, we know what
- 13:01Speaker 1: you can do. We're gonna put.
- 13:03Speaker 2: You in the arsenal because we need that sharp blade,
- 13:06Speaker 2: we know that thing cutting.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just talking about for myself and Cam Heyward,
- 13:10Speaker 1: you know, the last of the two thousand eleven draft
- 13:12Speaker 1: class that's still with their respective.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Teams, so just the camps.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But I think that there's there's ability and the possibility
- 13:21Speaker 1: that you can have the probability of going to the
- 13:23Speaker 1: super Bowl with this team. And that's what every team wants,
- 13:28Speaker 1: they want, they want the possibility. All you need is
- 13:31Speaker 1: a take it to the dance, you get to the playoffs,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and is any any given Sunday for real?
- 13:36Speaker 2: For real?
- 13:38Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean when I'm when I'm looking around,
- 13:41Speaker 1: I guess I got so excited. I think about what
- 13:44Speaker 1: the possibility is, what we can be this year. And
- 13:47Speaker 1: that's why I don't think retirement ever came into my mind.
- 13:51Speaker 1: If anything, I was like, you know, I think earlier
- 13:53Speaker 1: this year, I was like a soldier. The social doesn't
- 13:55Speaker 1: get to decide where he's where he fights at. Is
- 13:59Speaker 1: it anywhere, anytime, any place situation. I've been a soldier
- 14:02Speaker 1: in a warrior my whole life, So I don't know
- 14:04Speaker 1: how not to be. I know, I bring my hands
- 14:06Speaker 1: to work every day and I'm trying to put my
- 14:08Speaker 1: hands on office of lineman or tight end and specifically
- 14:11Speaker 1: on a running back end a quarterback. I'm trying to
- 14:14Speaker 1: do a couple more of them. That's sitting at one
- 14:15Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one and a half sacks, over probably
- 14:18Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty TFLs, easily over sixty five
- 14:22Speaker 1: pass eflections, and one hundred and sixty like I need
- 14:26Speaker 1: I need about I'm a gun for one hundred and
- 14:29Speaker 1: thirty sackses. You know, at the end of this year,
- 14:32Speaker 1: I'm a gun for ten past eflections. You know it.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Give me some in that seventy five range.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I just want it all.
- 14:40Speaker 1: You know, a couple Forest fumbles here there would be nice.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I want it all, and I'm gonna get I'm gonna
- 14:45Speaker 1: teach everybody around me all that I know, just like
- 14:48Speaker 1: I have every year before here. Come take whatever acknowledge
- 14:51Speaker 1: I got because I got more to give, because hey,
- 14:54Speaker 1: don't by the way, why I'm offering you how to
- 14:57Speaker 1: beat this block, how to shed this lineman, how to
- 14:59Speaker 1: get to this quarterback. I'm watching how you do it,
- 15:02Speaker 1: and I'm not saying I'm one hundred percent the right way.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is how I've had success. So
- 15:06Speaker 1: if you want to have some success like I have,
- 15:08Speaker 1: come get it. But also if you've had success or
- 15:11Speaker 1: maybe I like what you're doing on the edge, I
- 15:13Speaker 1: much steal some of that too, because that's just where
- 15:16Speaker 1: I'm at now. I look at you know, head coach
- 15:19Speaker 1: Keller Moore, the Super Bowl that he just won, being
- 15:22Speaker 1: a oc uh and you know him being outstanding quarterback
- 15:26Speaker 1: over at Boise State. So he's been in a leadership position,
- 15:30Speaker 1: you know, for his offense his whole life.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Now is he a born leader? I don't know. We'll
- 15:35Speaker 2: figure that one out.
- 15:36Speaker 1: It's a different different being from being a quarterback or
- 15:38Speaker 1: oc to be in the head coach buck stops here
- 15:41Speaker 1: type of guy. We shall definitely see. But I'm excited
- 15:44Speaker 1: again every facet of what the Saints have going for him,
- 15:48Speaker 1: including Miss Gail Benson. I mean, just a great Uh
- 15:52Speaker 1: what is a basketball called? They're they're not. They don't
- 15:55Speaker 1: call him owners. They almost call them partners at this point.
- 15:59Speaker 1: But uh, what that part, you know, the fact that
- 16:02Speaker 1: she she's in charge of the Saints and the Pelicans,
- 16:06Speaker 1: as she cares about players individually, top down, it's it's
- 16:09Speaker 1: it's top tier.
- 16:10Speaker 2: So whatever whatever I think.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Going forward, just know I'm thinking black and gold, LAWD
- 16:18Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Stay tuned. We'll be right back.
- 16:25Speaker 1: So so let me get off, you know, let me
- 16:26Speaker 1: get off the Saints. And I mean I'm sort of
- 16:29Speaker 1: gandered around the you know, the league, but have I
- 16:32Speaker 1: really have? I said, shout out to Miles Garrett for
- 16:34Speaker 1: that forty million dollars a year contract. What a time
- 16:37Speaker 1: to be an edge, you know, shout out to Max
- 16:40Speaker 1: Crosby at thirty five change a year, ninety one guaranteed, Lord.
- 16:46Speaker 1: And also it's it's great when your.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Team loves you.
- 16:50Speaker 1: You know, and they want to make you the highest
- 16:52Speaker 1: paid at your position and they want you to have success.
- 16:54Speaker 1: They love to see it. Get your money, man, you know,
- 16:59Speaker 1: it's got to be easy. Top two signings. What they're
- 17:01Speaker 1: gonna do with Jamar Chase, Lord, they should have paid
- 17:04Speaker 1: him a year and change ago. What they're gonna do
- 17:06Speaker 1: with Michael Parsons, Lord, should have paid him a year
- 17:09Speaker 1: and change ago. I mean, there's there's no point in
- 17:13Speaker 1: not paying these young players. A cat keep going up,
- 17:15Speaker 1: the ballers keep balling out the ones that have earned
- 17:18Speaker 1: it each and every year, like Michael Parsons has been
- 17:20Speaker 1: double digit sacks each and every year. There's some guys
- 17:22Speaker 1: that got paid that will never be double digit sacks.
- 17:25Speaker 1: We'll never have a chance to be a double digit
- 17:26Speaker 1: sack guy. Well at their best, just maybe a really
- 17:32Speaker 1: good player, and that's okay, But a guy like Michael Parsons'
- 17:34Speaker 1: generational you have to pay him as such, and he knows.
- 17:37Speaker 2: It, paying what he's worth, pay him for services rendered.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Now, you know, you see guys like you know, uh,
- 17:46Speaker 1: the quarterback justin go Over get paid a two for
- 17:50Speaker 1: forty ball over at the Jets. I mean, I don't
- 17:57Speaker 1: I don't like it. I love it for the young man.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Now he'll give it, got to go get it. Like
- 18:01Speaker 1: you know, he sat behind uh, he sat behind Russell
- 18:04Speaker 1: this last year at the Steelers, and now he's getting
- 18:07Speaker 1: a chance to prove that he's really that guy.
- 18:11Speaker 2: The question is.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Will he to be able to take over now? You know,
- 18:16Speaker 1: like it's the potential and they're paying for his potential.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I think that you see Sam Darnold go off to Seattle.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You see Gino Smith go to the Raiders.
- 18:26Speaker 2: What a move.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I see what you did there, Pete Carroll, you wo
- 18:29Speaker 1: to go get your guy? You know, I think that
- 18:33Speaker 1: there's so many there's so many guys at this point
- 18:35Speaker 1: in time. I just love watching the ticker the last
- 18:37Speaker 1: couple of days, right like, oh he pinged, Oh he
- 18:39Speaker 1: got paid. Oh he's gonna where you know, when you
- 18:42Speaker 1: when you think about what Aaron glennover the Jets is
- 18:45Speaker 1: as a as a player, as a coach, at Detroit
- 18:48Speaker 1: and now as the head coach at the Jets. You
- 18:51Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be on like a Dan Campbell trajectory. Like, Okay,
- 18:56Speaker 1: nobody's gonna talk about a year one, but year two
- 18:58Speaker 1: he may be on something. And year three, you know
- 18:59Speaker 1: he's gonna find success. He's going to get the right
- 19:02Speaker 1: guys in plays, do.
- 19:03Speaker 2: The right things. I mean he started, he started, you.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Know, creating a team of guys for coaching staff that
- 19:10Speaker 1: have either played or he knows is trustworthy. And with
- 19:13Speaker 1: that you can build a lot off that. So I mean,
- 19:16Speaker 1: as much as as much as life is, you know,
- 19:19Speaker 1: they still, like everybody's gonna talk about Jets and other
- 19:22Speaker 1: lost Aaron Rodgers or you know whatever that is. You
- 19:25Speaker 1: still got Quittin Williams. He's still got Thomas Hennessey, it's
- 19:29Speaker 1: long snapper. I don't know why I know that name.
- 19:31Speaker 1: It's because his name was Hennessy. But I mean you
- 19:34Speaker 1: still got you still got major players from Sauce to
- 19:36Speaker 1: Alan Lazard. I mean, Quincy Williams had a hell of
- 19:40Speaker 1: a year last year.
- 19:41Speaker 2: That might be exciting too.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm talking about the Jets now,
- 19:43Speaker 1: but just looking at you know, their new quarterback and
- 19:45Speaker 1: of course the new head coach who I had the
- 19:48Speaker 1: chance to work with what at the Saint So I'm
- 19:49Speaker 1: excited for them as well, unless they have to play us,
- 19:52Speaker 1: and then I love us more.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Of course.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm I'm looking at the NFC South
- 19:58Speaker 1: and I'm like, this division is wide o, but it's
- 20:01Speaker 1: time to go break in. So for me in mine
- 20:05Speaker 1: while looking around the league while talking about the Saints,
- 20:07Speaker 1: to probably be talking about the Saints more than I
- 20:09Speaker 1: ever have because I always want to talk about him,
- 20:10Speaker 1: and I try my best not to.
- 20:12Speaker 2: It's black and gold nine forever.
- 20:14Speaker 1: It's levels to this. Were gonna keep stacking for the
- 20:18Speaker 1: whole year. This will come a year we're gonna go
- 20:21Speaker 1: after one hundred and twenty five sacks. We're gonna go
- 20:23Speaker 1: out one hundred and thirty sacks, and then we'll talk
