Bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert, bag alert folks.
0:07
That's right.
0:08
The Brandon IU X Saga is finally over.
0:11
We can finally woo soft for a little bit.
0:14
We can finally focus on other things, other storylines, other headlines leading into the
0:21
start of the regular season.
0:24
Yes.
0:25
I know, you know, we all know here at the football Juggies podcast.
0:29
I know my fellow junkies.
0:31
We are all excited for football to finally come back to restore the balance back into
0:36
our lives.
0:37
We have already put in our two week notices with our family, our loved ones and significant
0:42
others.
0:43
If you have them to let them know that listen, football is back in our life.
0:48
So you know what that means.
0:50
Oh, you already know what that means.
0:51
That means Sunday football, Saturday football, Monday football.
0:59
Football, football, football, football, because why we are football junkies.
1:04
We love football.
1:05
We eat, sleep and talk about football.
1:08
All right.
1:09
Now we got to go over with this entire brand and IU X Saga because basically this entire
1:13
episode is dedicated to who Brandon IU in the conundrum that came with it.
1:19
Okay.
1:20
We have to ask the questions.
1:21
Where the Steelers to patient on this, how big of a stain is this on Omar Khan's record?
1:27
Because I've already seen people on Twitter who are going ballistic and already saying,
1:32
Oh, they need to get rid of Omar Khan.
1:34
Omar Khan doesn't know what he's doing.
1:35
He's a horrible GM and whatnot.
1:38
This is the worst thing you could have ever done.
1:40
Pump the brakes.
1:41
Okay.
1:42
Pump the brakes.
1:43
Get your emotions out of it.
1:44
Touch a little bit of grass, drink a little bit of water.
1:47
You'll feel perfectly fine.
1:50
Okay.
1:51
And well as did brand and IU X use other teams as leverage to increase his number.
1:58
And what does this mean for the 49ers moving forward?
2:01
All of this and more.
2:02
Okay.
2:03
On the 31st episodes football junkies podcast, I am your host, your GM, who still currently
2:09
not on a team right now, but I still have a few interviews lined up.
2:13
I'm looking to tap into the college football realm.
2:16
I don't know.
2:17
Maybe go to the SEC.
2:18
I heard Atlanta got some good fried chicken.
2:21
I don't know.
2:22
Don't, don't, don't quote me on that.
2:24
Okay.
2:25
It's going to be under the table type of transaction.
2:26
You know what I mean?
2:28
As well as back road diamonds, as well as your chief head of the table.
2:32
Okay.
2:33
Chief meteorologists for the bag.
2:37
Okay.
2:38
I am all of these things and more, but most importantly, I am your host, Kale.
2:43
You already know what I'm doing.
2:44
I say on three, one, two, three, let's lock in.
3:12
All right, folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything.
3:18
Okay.
3:19
So Brandon, now you look has ain't a four year, $120 million deal.
3:27
Okay.
3:28
And we got to go and pick this thing apart like a surgeon.
3:32
So get your knife, get everything else you need to.
3:36
Let's go into surgery.
3:37
Let's go.
3:38
Four years, 120 million.
3:41
He gets a $23 million signing bonus.
3:43
He is for he, I can't even speak.
3:46
He gets 45 million guaranteed at signing 76 million in total guarantees and his average
3:52
salary is 30 million a year.
3:54
Now, before we get into our opinions about everything, we do have to talk about some
4:00
of the notes that came with this, with this whole contract conundrum, right?
4:06
Because there's a lot of things that we didn't know about until, you know, until now.
4:11
So according to Diana Rossini from the athletic shout out to her, the 49ers were willing to
4:17
trade brand and IU to the Steelers if they could receive, of course, an elite receiver
4:22
and return, of course, but we all knew that, right?
4:26
However, the 49ers were willing to offer the third round pick that they were going to receive
4:32
from the Steelers to the Broncos in order to get Cortland Sutton, but the Broncos declined.
4:38
And Albert Breer, another well respected insider also piggyback and also said the exact same
4:44
thing what I just said, which was the 49ers were going to use that third round pick from
4:48
the Steelers to send to Denver for Cortland Sutton.
4:53
And you know, of course, like I just said, the Broncos declined it according to Adam
4:57
Schefter, this offer has been on the table since August 12.
5:02
Okay.
5:03
Now, with this deal, he is tied with Tyree Kale for the fifth highest annual average
5:08
value contract.
5:10
Now when we look at things, right?
5:13
When we look at this contract, this contract, believe it or not, is a very easy contract
5:18
to get out of.
5:19
And I think the way that the 49ers structured it, they did it so they can get out of it relatively
5:26
easy without any problems, as well as do any restructures or any of those different types
5:31
of things in order to create cap room and whatever the case may be, right?
5:38
Because when you look at it, when we really look at things, right, the next two years,
5:43
his base salary is only going to be a million dollars, 1.1 for next year, and then 1.2 the
5:50
year after that, right?
5:52
And then when you look at his cap hits, right, his cap hits for this year, of course, only
5:57
going to be 5.7, next year is going to be 11.1, the year after that is going to be 16.2.
6:04
So even then, when we really sort of go into a deep dive of this entire conundrum in this
6:10
entire situation, in some ways, when you look at the structure of the contract, in some
6:17
ways they backloaded it, right?
6:19
So that basically his base salary doesn't crest into 20 million until 2027 and 2028.
6:29
Those are the last two, those are, I think, if I'm not mistaken, like the last two years
6:33
of his deal.
6:35
That's when he gets a boatload of his money.
6:39
And so basically, you know, this was definitely a pretty good move for the 49ers because again,
6:46
they're still in a situation where they want to probably still be competitive, but still
6:50
have that leverage and flexibility to be able to do restructures and all those different
6:54
types of things.
6:55
And even then, I wouldn't even be surprised once this upcoming season is over, they do
7:00
a restructure for his deal in order to get somebody else, right?
7:05
So either way, it's a somewhat of a 1-1 situation for both sides.
7:10
The holdout is over, the 49ers get their, you know, one of their best receivers back,
7:15
everybody's happy, shake hands, you know, give a hug, whatever, right?
7:19
Now that that's talked about, I think when you talk about the stealer side of this,
7:24
right?
7:25
Because, and granted, I will be one of the, I'll be transparent and be honest here.
7:31
You know, I was definitely in my feelings for like a good two days.
7:37
I was, I was livid because of the simple fact that there were multiple people that were
7:43
saying, you know, always get ready to happen, it's getting ready to happen, blah, blah,
7:47
blah, it's almost there, it's almost there.
7:50
And at first, like, you know, you can ask anybody, I didn't want Brandon on you, simply
7:55
because you're, you're taking away resources that you would need for next year's draft
8:00
to supplement for this person, not to mention you're going to have to pay him 30 million
8:04
a year, not to mention you're also going to have, you don't even have a quarterback who's
8:09
under contract for next year as well, right?
8:12
So it just didn't make any sense, right?
8:15
And you know, at first, you know, I was totally against it, but then sooner or later as things
8:21
started drawing out even more, and I was like, okay, maybe there is a chance that we probably
8:24
do get Brandon on you.
8:27
And you know, clearly I was wrong and you know, all of us were wrong.
8:31
And so I think it's safe to say that the Steelers were a little bit too patient.
8:35
I think it is safe to say to criticize them for that.
8:39
They put all of their eggs in one basket and not even realize that there was a hole in
8:45
the basket the entire time.
8:47
And as time progressed, that hole in the basket started to get bigger and wider and bigger
8:53
and wider.
8:54
And this is what happens.
8:56
Now they're in a situation where essentially all they have on their receiving core is George
9:04
Pickin, Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin, and Van Jefferson, not to mention they also picked
9:08
up Ben, I forgot how to pronounce his last name.
9:12
He was with the Rams when they won the Super Bowl.
9:16
They traded him to the Texans.
9:17
They just picked him up and added him to the practice squad yesterday as well as Quezhuacas.
9:21
That's basically the receiving core.
9:24
And you know, granted, you know, there was definitely some options that you had available
9:27
that you could have gotten, you know, when it came down to cut down day and, you know,
9:33
the waivers.
9:34
You're probably going to put in a waiver claim for, you know, any of those different types
9:37
of receivers, terrorist marshal in company.
9:40
But you know, you were so set on trying to get Brandon I.U. with that, you know, in some
9:47
ways it burned you a little bit because now you're in a situation where you're going to
9:51
have to wait until essentially next year when free agency starts to go after receiver because
9:58
and let me be very clear on what exactly I'm getting ready to say here to any person that
10:04
has edits of Devonte Adams and Pittsburgh, Stevens Jersey, please stop.
10:09
Please stop right now because what you guys do not realize is going after someone like
10:15
like a Devonte Adams is it is is it's ludicrous.
10:21
It really is because when you look at it right now, his base salary this year is 16.8 million,
10:28
right?
10:29
And he's carrying a $25.3 million cap hit.
10:33
Next year, his base salary will the next two years, his base salary is 35.6 million.
10:39
His cap hit is 44.1 million, right?
10:44
Why in the world would you want to go after someone like a Devonte Adams?
10:47
When you know you're when you know you're going to have to give up the first round pick
10:51
and you're probably going to have to give up high drafts just to try to just to try to
10:56
justify that trade.
10:58
And even then, even if you was to do a restructure, it still won't help because he's still carrying
11:04
large large cap hits and a large base salary.
11:09
It just wouldn't help the Raider structure that dealing away to where you know, if anything
11:15
crazy happens, if he wants to walk away from football and retire and whatnot, guess what?
11:20
They can spread out the Devcat hit and it won't affect them as much compared to taking
11:25
it all at one time.
11:28
And that's just a horrible move altogether.
11:30
Now, when we look at things, though, when you look at free agency next year for receivers,
11:38
you have a few you have a few names.
11:39
Stefan Diggs, T Higgins, Kenan Allen, Amar Cooper, Chris Gollman, Brandon Cooks, Dante
11:45
Johnson, that's not going to happen.
11:47
Deandre Hopkins, Mike Williams, Robert Wood, Darrius Slayton, KJ Osborne, DeMarcus Robinson,
11:53
Nelson Aguilar, DJ Chark, OBJ, Mack Hollins, Tyler Boy, Zach Pascal, Marquez Veldez, Scanlan,
12:02
Zay Jones, and Elijah Moore and more.
12:05
Right.
12:06
So, I mean, you do have you do have some some options when it comes to free agent receivers,
12:12
if that's the route that you want to take, or you could probably try and draft one and
12:17
you know, and just go with that, honestly, compared to trying to go after someone like
12:23
a brand and IEU and pay him the money that he wants.
12:26
Because originally, let's not forget things, folks.
12:30
Originally, on the table, the 49ers had, I think it was either 26 or 20 million a year.
12:36
Right.
12:37
Was it 26?
12:38
It was either 26 or 28.
12:39
One of those two numbers.
12:40
Don't don't don't call me on it, though.
12:42
But that was originally the first offer that was that went public.
12:47
And of course, he said no.
12:48
And that's when things started to go downhill and you started to see him come out public
12:54
and basically say, you know, I want to be traded.
12:56
And then you saw the little bit of a media run that he went on, you know, hanging out
13:00
with Jane Daniel and then, you know, going on various podcasts like the pivot podcast
13:05
shout out to them, Ryan Clark, Shannon Crowder and Fred Taylor and them shout out to them.
13:12
And then you, you know, you have all the back and forth and he's there, but he's really
13:17
not there and all the various things that happen.
13:22
And for him to finally sign the deal that's basically been sitting on the table since
13:26
August 12th, let you know that, you know, he probably he probably realized that like,
13:32
listen, one or two things are going to happen.
13:34
You don't want to sign this deal and stay with this team and possibly win a Super Bowl
13:38
or I'm going to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
13:41
That was basically it.
13:42
There was no other options because remember, he didn't want to go to Cleveland and he didn't
13:46
want to go to New England.
13:48
So that was just basically it.
13:50
And so here we are, right?
13:51
But to say that Omar Khan, you know, is just this horrible GM and he needs to be fired
13:57
and all those different types of things.
13:59
Let me tell you something here, folks.
14:00
Omar Khan has done a pretty good job so far when it comes to restructuring this team because
14:06
let's be real here.
14:08
This team definitely needed a little bit of a, it had to go through somewhat of a soft
14:13
rebuild.
14:14
It did.
14:15
He's basically rebuilt the offensive line.
14:17
Cool.
14:18
Really hasn't done anything with the quarterback position, but that's not really his fault.
14:22
That's because other people got into their feelings, had a, had a hissy fit and in doing
14:29
so wanted to exit stage left.
14:32
Okay.
14:33
Cool.
14:34
So, I mean, this happens.
14:36
Every single GM that we know that you see that you love and whatnot, they've all flopped
14:43
on a move.
14:44
Where that be drafting the wrong player, where that means not paying the right player and
14:48
paying another player that shouldn't be paid or trading away the wrong person or, you know,
14:56
not pulling the trigger on us on a particular trade and whatnot.
15:00
Every GM has done it, but that doesn't make them a bad GM.
15:05
And the only reason why I'm saying this is because both had to think things over because
15:10
let's be real here.
15:12
We were the, we were literally the last team that was quote unquote still in on, on trying
15:18
to get brand new it because we're basically said Pittsburgh is out of it.
15:22
And that's saying, you know, Pittsburgh, you know, comes back and then they're in it and
15:25
then the Browns and the Patriots, they back out and then the Steelers are just left there.
15:30
And you know, if you're the Steelers and you know, you already sort of knew that the 49ers
15:37
were looking for looking for an elite receiver in return and all you were willing to give
15:42
it was draft picks, you already knew that you already had a disadvantage.
15:46
You already knew that because the 49ers, they've, they've made, you know, their, their demands
15:53
clear, which was we want a receiver and return.
15:56
And they said George Pickens and y'all said, hell no.
15:58
So there's that there, there's nothing that you can really do about it.
16:02
It's not, it happens.
16:04
And so, you know, they're, they're, this is what I'll say as much as we want to be emotional
16:11
about this move, as much as we want to be upset about this move, look at it as a blessing
16:18
in disguise.
16:20
That's what you just have to look at it for what it is.
16:22
It's a blessing in disguise because now you can still dictate on how you want your story
16:30
to go and how you want to build your roster because remember folks, Pat Fryer move still
16:35
has to get paid.
16:36
Cameron Hayward still has to get paid pretty soon.
16:38
TJ Y is, is going to be looking for another deal as well.
16:41
You still have to figure out what you're going to do with Najee Harris as well as what you're
16:45
going to do with the quarterback position next year because let's not forget here, folks,
16:51
what's going on over in Dallas because if, if Jerry lets that presscott, you know, hit
16:58
free agency, that's going to be one of the biggest free agents that we've had in a really
17:04
long time.
17:05
And they're going to be teams, multiple teams are going to be inquiring about that press
17:10
guy.
17:11
And I would not be surprised if the Pittsburgh Steelers do it as well because they know that
17:15
if they get someone like a Dak press guy, not only do you have stability, but you have
17:20
someone who is, he's not going to make a risky move.
17:25
He's just trying to get the job done.
17:27
That's it.
17:28
And you know, it's, it's a really rocky situation, you know, for, for the Steelers.
17:34
We're not in a position to win a Super Bowl and I really don't know if we're in a position
17:39
to possibly, you know, make a deep playoff run.
17:41
I just don't see it the way the, the, when we compare our roster to the chiefs roster
17:47
or the Ravens roster or, you know, any of the other AFC teams that have really good
17:53
rosters, ours really isn't that strong yet.
17:56
But it can, you know, it's still a process and it's still growing because let's be real
18:02
here folks, whether we, whether we want to amend it or not, as long as we stay the course
18:09
as long as these draft picks hit will be fine, will be fine.
18:14
Well, what have our moment?
18:15
What have our window and whatnot?
18:16
As long as these draft picks hit, as long as these free agency moves hit, we will be
18:21
fine.
18:22
Another question that we definitely do need to ask and, you know, just, just to put this
18:27
out there, this, this episode is going to be relatively short.
18:30
It's not going to be long and drawn out.
18:31
Just wanted, just wanted to end the week with my thoughts on the entire, you know, brand
18:36
IU situation by the same time I had to give myself a little bit of time just so I can
18:41
process it and to try to eliminate my feelings out of this.
18:47
Because if it was me personally, I would have just created a whole episode and just go on
18:50
an entire randler, but that, that wouldn't have solved anything.
18:54
It wouldn't have, but here we are.
18:56
Now I think another question that definitely needs to be asked is, did Brandon IU would
19:01
use other teams to increase his leverage?
19:03
And I would say yes, I would say so.
19:06
And this is why when we look at it, like I just said a few minutes ago, the original
19:13
offer that they had for brand IU was between 26 and 28 a year, right?
19:19
And remember, brand IU said he wanted his contract to be modeled after a Mon Mont Saint
19:25
Browns a steal, right?
19:27
Which was 30 plus million a year.
19:30
That's what he said he wanted.
19:32
And so for the longest time, they were not trying to come, come into an agreement with
19:37
exactly what he wanted.
19:40
And you know, in doing so, what happened is, you know, they, it was somewhat of a standstill
19:46
and then, you know, they, they were able to come together, have a heart to heart and,
19:50
you know, we like conversations and all those various different, you know, twist and turns
19:56
that came with this conundrum.
19:59
And you know, here we are.
20:00
And he was finally able to get what 30 plus million a year.
20:03
So in all and all, it worked.
20:06
It worked.
20:07
The masterclass of brand IU worked.
20:10
He used the leverage of other teams, whether that be, you know, positive or negative, you
20:16
know, spams, you know, Steelers nation and basically made it seem like he wanted to be
20:21
there, you know, anytime any person mentioned his name on social media, he will look at
20:26
the story and, you know, like certain, certain different things and whatnot and people overreact
20:32
and oh my God, he's gonna be a stealer.
20:34
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
20:35
It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:37
That's not what it is.
20:39
It's just not so let's just all relax.
20:42
That's who saw and here we are.
20:44
So all in all, great, great decision, honestly, because you drove your number up to the number
20:51
that, that what you wanted.
20:54
And then once you realized that this was probably going to be the best offer that there was
20:57
going to give you, you just took it and that's great.
21:01
And so, you know, all in all, it was, it was a success, right?
21:05
But I do think, I do think another question that really, that really does need to be asked
21:11
is what does this mean for the future of the 49ers?
21:14
Because again, they have paid all of their players top dollar money, right?
21:21
They've, they've, they've showed out a lot of money for, for their star players.
21:25
They've resented the market for Nick Bosa.
21:28
They, you know, gave Debo Samuel a big deal, you know, at, at that time.
21:33
Now they're getting ready to probably reset the market for Trent Williams.
21:35
They reset the market for Christian McCaffrey.
21:38
Not to mention they're going to have to pay Brock Purdy as well.
21:41
So it's, it, at some point, you know, the, the rubber meets the road.
21:46
And I think they realized that this year is a, is a, you know, is a really tough year.
21:52
It is.
21:53
This is a make it or break it year.
21:56
This isn't a year where they can be like, Oh, okay, maybe we'll try next year.
22:00
No, your superstars are, the, the, the cap hit for your superstars are starting to, are
22:07
starting to really starting to, I can't speak, are really starting to take effect.
22:11
You have multiple players on this team right now who have a 20 or 25 or even 30 plus million
22:20
dollar cap hit on this team.
22:24
And you know, sure they, they, they've been trying to reshuffle the deck for the last
22:29
few years.
22:30
And of course they, they've made it to the Super Bowl.
22:32
I think what?
22:33
This 2019 and then last year, if I'm not mistaken, okay, cool.
22:38
You lost both of them.
22:40
Some of that is due to coaching, but I'll leave that alone.
22:44
But you know, at some point it's going to have to come to an end.
22:49
It just is.
22:50
I'm sorry.
22:51
And you know, when, when we look at spot racks as, you know, market value for broad
22:55
purdy is four years, 208 million, 52.1 million a year.
23:00
Now, let me add some context.
23:02
That's probably not even factoring if he wins any major awards or let alone when Super Bowl
23:09
MVP or let alone a Super Bowl.
23:12
If Brock Purdy wins a Super Bowl this year and does it in a dynamic fashion, you are
23:18
talking about someone that is going to demand 60 million a year, 60 million a year and when
23:26
and if, if and when that happens, the 49ers are going to have to do so many restructures
23:32
going to have to move money and structure his deal in such a way to where he gets his
23:37
money.
23:38
They're going to have to because why he was the one that was able to do it.
23:41
They tried with Jeremie Garoppolo failed.
23:45
They tried it with Trey Lance, even though me personally, I feel like they didn't give
23:49
Trey Lance an adequate chance.
23:53
And you know, that just, that was just horrible.
23:56
Then they got Brock Purdy.
23:58
There was definitely a lot of upside.
23:59
It was definitely back and forth game, but then once that second half happened, that
24:03
Chiefs defense was just, they were locked in.
24:08
They knew exactly what they wanted to do.
24:10
They knew what they wanted to accomplish and they got it done and you know, they won.
24:15
They won.
24:16
So I say all that to say this, you know, when you have Trent Williams, who's still on a
24:22
hold out who he's still looking to reset the market because that's basically what it is.
24:27
And you have this, someone's going to have to go.
24:30
And I do think one of the first people that is probably going to be traded is probably
24:36
to be Debo.
24:37
I do.
24:38
And the reason why I say that is because when you look at the structure of his deal,
24:43
it's a very easy deal to get out of.
24:46
His base salary this year is only 20.9 million a year.
24:51
That's it.
24:52
That's it.
24:53
It's only 20.9 million a year.
24:54
His cap hit is only 28.6 million a year.
24:57
And then next year, his base salary is only 16.6 and his cap is only 24.2.
25:03
That is a very easy contract to restructure and do whatever.
25:09
Even then, you could probably give him more guaranteed money or you could just give him
25:13
another really small one to two year extension just so you could spread, you know, the dead
25:20
cap and the large cap hits and large base salary out.
25:24
So, you know, some those players that are on somewhat expiring deals or who are at the
25:31
like the end part of their deals, they're the ones that are probably going to be moved
25:36
or traded or, you know, whatever the case may be, I wouldn't be surprised if some of
25:41
those players start to get floated around during the trade that I would not be surprised.
25:47
And so, you know, this is somewhat of a of a last dance.
25:51
If you would say no pun intended for the 49ers, because they have to win this year.
25:57
They have to win all the moves that they have made up and up until this point was to do
26:04
what?
26:05
Win a Super Bowl.
26:07
And so far, they have not been successful.
26:10
And every single time they get close, something always happens.
26:15
And great.
26:16
We can't say that, you know, the roster is not good and they don't have any superstars.
26:19
They do.
26:20
You have the great one of the greatest left tackles of all time on this team.
26:25
You have one of the greatest running backs of all time on this team.
26:29
You have a Swiss Army knife and debo Samuel on this team.
26:33
You have one of the best fullbacks of all time on this team.
26:37
You have one of the best pass rushers in the league right now on this team.
26:41
You have the Creme de la Creme and some of the most major and most important spots on
26:47
this team.
26:49
And at some point, you got to win one.
26:52
You got to win one.
26:53
You got to win one to justify all the moves that they made from moving off of Eric Armstead
26:59
to training the forest, but there to bring in Grave Digger to, you know, paying Nick
27:04
Bolster the money that they paid him to trading for Trent Williams and trading for Kristen
27:09
McCaffrey and drafting Debo and drafting Brandon IEWIC and drafting George Kittle and
27:15
this person and that person, all those different types of things.
27:19
They have to win one.
27:21
If they win one, it justifies it just a little bit.
27:25
Okay.
27:26
Because the time for, you know, going on a streak and winning two and three and four
27:30
and all those different types of things, it's passed.
27:33
Okay.
27:34
If they win one, cool.
27:36
If they don't win one, this, this looks bad on both Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch.
27:44
It really does.
27:45
So I'm going to end that here.
