Double back alert double back alert double back alert double back alert folks. That's right to
0:06
Notable players got paid brand now you trade talk Coral and son and dare your slate and wanting deals and
0:13
and the villain of
0:15
The NFL foil once again from getting a potential head coaching job
0:21
We're gonna talk about all of this on the fourth episode of the football chunkies podcast. I am your host, Mikhail
0:27
Let's get it. All right, folks. So
0:30
If you don't know and if you haven't heard the news
0:33
Eagles receiver Devontae Smith has inked a three-year 75 million dollar deal of 51 million of that is guaranteed
0:42
33.9 of that money is guaranteed at signing
0:46
Which on average he will be making about 25 million a year now
0:51
Quick points for Devontae Smith so far. He has had two 1,000 yards
0:56
See 1,000 yard receiving seasons
0:59
He's been targeted over a hundred times since entering into the league and according to next-gen stats
1:04
He had a 72.32 cash percentage
1:08
Last season so you're talking about a player who is productive and
1:14
Has a very pivotal role within the Eagles offense when defenses want to try the double team
1:21
AJ Brown who who's the main person that's going to get open Devontae Smith and so
1:28
You know, this this isn't a long-term deal. This is a you know a deal for basically
1:34
Three years, you know, that's that that's not really bad by the time that deal was over with
1:38
He'll still be in his prime which then he can be up and get another contract
1:42
Which you know always want players to get paid now for the other person who got a bag alert
1:48
defensive tackle the forest Buckner for the Colts
1:52
Signed a two-year 46 million dollar
1:56
extension with the 18 million dollar signing bonus which makes him the fifth highest paid defensive tackle in the league right now now
2:04
Since 2017 he has created 44 sacks when lined up at defensive tackle
2:09
Which is the fourth most in the NFL according to ESPN's analytics and NFL next-gen stats
2:15
Also since 2020 he has the fourth highest double team rate as defensive tackle at 65%
2:23
When you talk about a player who has been productive since leaving the 49ers
2:29
It's the forest buck the forest Buckner has continued to show
2:34
Why he is a top five defensive tackle in the league even when he's getting double double team and triple team
2:41
He is still getting to the quarterback folks still getting to the quarterback and he is the anchor for that defensive line
2:49
Honestly speaking here doesn't have a whole lot of talent. I mean they do have quity paid
2:54
But really haven't seen a whole lot of production with him lately. Maybe a change. I don't know. I'm not a magician
3:02
But um, you know congrats to the both of them on receiving a bag alert now
3:07
Let's get to some trade talk folks because there is a particular player that a lot of people have been talking about
3:14
And there's been a lot of conflicting reports
3:16
Most of them have been false reports some of them have been credible pores, but we're gonna deep we're gonna deep dive into it now
3:22
49ers receiver Brandon IEWIC
3:25
Right now is in contract talks with the 49ers and in doing so
3:31
Things are starting to look a little bit murky now
3:34
Apparently there have been reports coming out that the Steelers have been the main
3:39
Team that has been very persistent in trying to make a trade of for brand now you now
3:46
We're gonna have to
3:49
Dissect this like a surgeon. So I already have my knife already have my scalpel. Let's get into it. So with Brandon IEWIC
3:56
He plays a very pivotal role on the 49ers offense has been very very very productive
4:05
Within the last two years. He had a 71.43 catch percentage last season a hundred and five targets
4:12
He has two one thousand yard seasons in the last two years and his market value right now would be a four-year
4:20
99.8 million dollar deal, which would make him the fifth highest pay receiver. However
4:27
With the with the situation that the 49ers are in right now
4:32
They probably won't be able to pay that type of money to a Brandon IEWIC
4:37
Simply because they have all of these big contracts on their books
4:41
Right and so when you when you are a playoff caliber team like the 49ers
4:48
somebody is gonna have to get the low end of the totem pole, right and
4:54
Sometimes, you know, they'll they'll try to attempt to maybe try to add more money
4:59
But at the end of the day the player, you know, ultimately makes a decision on if he wants to sign the deal or not sign the deal now
5:08
With that being said
5:11
We we have to be honest here folks
5:14
Brandon IEWIC is in a situation right now where he cannot demand
5:19
more money than Deebo Samuel and the reason why I say that is because
5:24
You he isn't better than Deebo Samuel
5:28
He's just not I'm sorry. I don't care what anyone says Brandon IEWIC is not better than Deebo Samuel
5:34
Even even when a hurt Deebo Samuel is still more productive and still more dangerous
5:40
than Brandon IEWIC, okay, not to mention Brandon IEWIC is in a situation where
5:48
you have two choices and
5:51
One of these choices, you know, it the other one is it's gonna be a sacrifice basically
5:57
Either you take less and you stay on the team that you're on and then you go possibly win a Super Bowl and then, you know
6:03
Maybe maybe they'll they'll be in a situation where they could probably, you know, tack more money onto his deal
6:09
Or they can be in a situation where you know
6:14
He leverages his way out and he gets traded to a crappy team
6:18
But he gets the bag and the 49ers win the Super Bowl
6:21
Those are the two extremes at this point because whether whether we want to admit it or not and
6:27
This is that this is the God and honest truth here
6:31
It's gonna look weird for Brandon IEWIC to be making more money than what Deebo Samuel was making
6:37
Even though Deebo Samuel is the guy in the receiving room. That's gonna look weird
6:44
That's gonna cause friction within the locker room, which
6:48
Ultimately, you know, Deebo Samuel might might ask for trades and or my ask for more money
6:54
Tackle his contract simply because hey y'all just pay him that much money and I know he's not better than me
7:01
So that's sort of the the line that the 49ers
7:06
You know are sort of teetering on at this point and it also doesn't help that
7:11
You know, there are teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, unfortunately and the Buffalo Bills who need a
7:19
who need a receiver and so, you know, it's it's a very it's a very
7:27
Sensitive situation only because if you trade for someone like a Brandon IEWIC
7:33
You're gonna have to make them top five highest pay. He's not gonna want to you know
7:39
Maybe we'll talk about at the end of the season. No, he wants his money up front. He wants to talk about money
7:45
He wants to stand on business. That's what he want to do. He wants stand on business and
7:50
Sometimes when you stand on business it comes it comes with a price and sometimes that price is
7:57
You get shipped to a crappy team. That's not gonna go to the playoffs
8:01
That's going through rebuild and now, you know, although you you got paid
8:06
You're not gonna go anywhere
8:08
Meanwhile, your other team, you know, they could possibly win a Super Bowl. They could you know
8:14
Go on a run and win two Super Bowl three Super Bowl's whatever the case may be
8:19
So that is the the the problem in this situation because
8:24
You know, if you're a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers, why would you trade for someone like a Brandon IEWIC?
8:29
especially when the receiver class is as
8:33
Diverse and as big as as it is
8:36
That doesn't make any sense
8:38
Especially when you have, you know, very pressing needs on both sides of the ball
8:44
You don't even have a starting center on the team right now and to any person that says
8:49
Well, not here we could could play center. No
8:52
No, we can't because if he if he was to play center, he should have started playing center
8:58
late last season or
9:01
Better yet, they shouldn't have just cut Mason Cole. They should have just kept Mason Cole for another year
9:07
Drafted a center so then they can just sit under him and learn from him and then you make the transition
9:14
Instead of being in a situation where now you have this pressing need at center and you haven't you haven't even
9:21
Brought in a death piece. You haven't even signed anybody for a center. You haven't
9:25
Meanwhile, you have players like a Brian Allen, a Connor Williams
9:30
And you know, there's there's probably a few other centers that you could possibly sign right now and that could you know, that's another
9:37
That's another position that you really don't have to worry about as much
9:42
But making a trade for Brandon IEWIC. You already know the 49ers are gonna want a first round pick
9:49
They're gonna want your first round pick and you need your first round pick. It'll be different
9:54
If a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers if they didn't have as many holes on their team
10:01
If they didn't have as many holes on their team, then it's like, okay, cool
10:05
You can make this trade, you know, see what happens
10:08
If you make it to play off school if you don't whatever this is but this is another draft
10:14
Where again your first four picks have to hit
10:19
They have to be starters and they have to be productive starters and if they're not that's gonna set the team back another year
10:27
another two or three years if we're being real here
10:30
so
10:32
Trying to be this, you know super aggressive team that's trying to go after receiver who is about to get his first contract
10:39
That's redundant
10:41
It is it'll be different if Brandon IEWIC had already had his first deal
10:46
He's looking for a second one or he's looking to tacked on more guaranteed money with his first deal
10:51
Then it's like, okay, cool. You can make that type of move
10:55
You know, you know lower the cap hit and create more cap and you know, what whatever else may be
11:02
but he's looking for money and
11:05
You already have players that pretty soon you're gonna have to pay so what does that look like you shelling all
11:12
Of that money to Brandon IEWIC when pretty soon you're gonna have to pay nausea Harris
11:17
You're gonna have to pay Pat farm move. You're gonna have to pay Jayla Warren
11:21
You're gonna have to pay George Pickens soon
11:23
You have to figure out what you have what you're gonna do with Cameron Haver
11:26
You have to figure out what you're gonna do with a landing Roberts
11:29
You got to figure out what you got to do with
11:32
Cameron Haver and you got to figure out what you're gonna do with TJ Y
11:35
That's almost eight players right there that you have to figure out what are you going to do?
11:43
Are you gonna pay them or you extend them or you trade them or you cut them?
11:47
Are you gonna just let them walk and let them test free agency?
11:49
Those are the decisions that you have to make not to mention you also have to figure out what you're gonna do with James Daniels
11:56
Because pretty soon he is gonna be free age as well and Isaac see a mallow
12:01
So you have all of these pressing needs that you know to some fans is like, you know
12:07
Though dressing when they address them. No
12:10
Making a type of move like this
12:12
Could literally mean
12:14
Well, not a life or death situation, but it can literally mean either your team makes a crazy run and goes to the AFC championship
12:23
maybe even a Super Bowl or
12:25
it flops and now you're basically 25 to
12:29
30 million dollars in a hole with it with a receiver and now you're probably gonna have to let a
12:36
Productive player walk
12:39
That's the situation it is and so
12:43
For all the fans for all the fellow junkies out there who say, you know, they're their particular team should go after
12:50
Someone like a brand-new. I want you to look. I want you to look up his his value
12:55
I want you to look at his mark his market value as I said earlier on to this podcast
13:00
But I'm gonna say this again according to spot rack
13:04
His market value right now would be a four year
13:09
99.8 million dollar deal. That's almost 25 million dollars a year. He would be the fifth highest paid receiver
13:18
That's a lot of money
13:20
that's a lot of money and
13:22
You you would be
13:25
You know in a in a category with receivers such as the Monte Adams Tyreek Hill AJ Brown
13:32
DK Metcalf Cooper Cup. Can you honestly speaking?
13:37
Say that Brandon IE is better than a Cooper Cup a DK Metcalf
13:43
A AJ Brown a Tyreek Hill or the Monte Adams. Can you really say that?
13:48
I can't even on their worst seasons. They can have a bad
13:54
Well, I'm talking about just a horrible season
13:56
they can still put up more numbers than what Brandon IE could do and
14:01
You know for for anybody out there. I don't want to make it seem like I'm a brand-new care
14:06
I'm always pro player, you know getting getting paid and whatnot, but to a certain extent
14:12
When when you are trying to get paid there was a way that you have to move in
14:18
order to get in order to secure the bag you can't just you know
14:23
Sort of have a temper tantrum like how Brandon IU gets having right now
14:27
Thinking that you know, it's gonna speed up the process. It's not it's not you unfollowing the 49ers
14:34
You deleting all the pictures that you have on your Instagram and other social media accounts
14:39
You may be taking 49ers out of your bio. That is not gonna make them move any faster
14:44
It is not honestly speaking it might actually make them rethink their decision
14:50
It may be rescind the offer that they currently have on the table. So
14:55
You have to be careful
14:58
Because if you don't be careful, they will ship you to a team and will not think twice about it
15:04
Nothing twice about it. They won't factor in, you know, how you may feel about it or whatnot. They'll just ship you off
15:11
Nothing twice about it. They don't care the the compensation one not they just want you gone
15:15
And it doesn't help again that this is a big receiver class
15:20
So I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle Shanahan probably had a conversation with John Lynch and probably said man forget him
15:27
Listen, there's about two or three receivers right now that I'm looking at right now
15:31
That could probably just as or maybe even more productive than what Brandon I you it has ever been
15:37
Those are the conversations that are that have probably been had
15:41
Leading up to the draft. So I say all that to say this brand I you it. I do hope you get paid
15:49
Pittsburgh Steelers
15:51
Don't make this move
15:52
You're on a you're on the right track. Well, sort of you're sort of on the right track. Don't derail it for one player
15:59
But moving on to Cortland Sutton also wanting a deal as well. So
16:06
With Coral and Sutton, it's a little bit more
16:10
complex
16:11
Simply because he is a older receiver and he has about two years
16:17
27.6 million dollars left on his deal now before I go any further when when when you hear that you're thinking
16:25
Oh, what is he really complaining about? He still has money left on his deal
16:28
No, he doesn't
16:31
however
16:32
2 million of his of his 2024 salary is fully guaranteed while the remaining 25 isn't
16:40
So what that means is he is guaranteed 2 million
16:45
For the you know for fully guaranteed for this year's salary, but the 25 million
16:52
He's not guaranteed that at all
16:54
So what he is trying to do is he's trying to read up on guaranteed money now
17:00
If you've never really looked into, you know, NFL player contracts when you know when the news break of you know
17:09
Any person signing a crazy deal you have to look at the guarantees
17:14
Because the guarantees
17:16
That is the money that they are guaranteed to get the minute that they signed their name on that piece of paper
17:22
That is the money that is guaranteed to them whether they are whether they play do not play injured
17:28
Whatever the case may be they are injured the money that is not guaranteed
17:32
That is the money that a lot of times are you know that are pushed sort of like to the back end of the contract
17:40
Most of times they can be incentivized sometimes are not incentivized
17:44
It just all depends on the on the structure of the contract now with that being said
17:50
Coral and son has had has only had one one thousand yard of receiving season
17:56
He has seven hundred and seventy two receiving yards last season
17:59
He had ninety targets last season and he had a sixty five point fifty six cash percentage
18:07
Now I understand the move right now. However
18:12
It doesn't favor you again simply because this is a big receiver class and
18:21
You are an older receiver
18:23
It'll be different if you was still like someone in your prime if he was about maybe 25 26 maybe 27 years old
18:30
Then it's like okay cool. You're great
18:33
but you're entering out of your prime and
18:36
so
18:38
You know that can that can make a GM a little bit hesitant on wanting to give you a long-term deal simply because
18:46
They don't know how you know how how much how many years you have left
18:51
You know of great production left because at some point you're gonna hit that you're gonna hit that point where
18:58
You know your production is just gonna fall it's gonna plummet and then that'll be the point where you're probably gonna walk away
19:05
And all that different type of stuff so you have to factor in all those different type of things now
19:11
The problem with the receiver market is that there is a bunch of receivers. We're all looking to get paid
19:19
Okay, you have Justin Jefferson that pretty soon you're gonna have to he's gonna have to get paid CD Lam's gonna have to get paid
19:26
Brand I ui Coral and Sutton like we're talking about right now and Darius late
19:30
That's five receivers right there that are looking to get paid
19:37
now
19:40
Some of them are gonna get paid some of them are not gonna get paid some of them are gonna get big money
19:44
Some of them are gonna get small money
19:46
It just all depends on where you know on how the chips fall honestly and so
19:53
At this point at this juncture Coral and Sutton
19:57
The best option is probably to want to get traded
20:01
Because I don't think the Broncos are gonna want to pay him the type of money
20:05
That he probably wants especially
20:08
Especially when they when they have to eat
20:11
89 million dollar dead cap hit with Russell Wilson. I don't think they're gonna want to do that. I
20:17
Just don't personally, but you know, I could be wrong
20:22
Again, you know for him. Hopefully he you know, he gets paid well
20:26
If he doesn't, you know, you can get traded there. There's a few teams that do need a receiver
20:33
You know, I mean, you know, you you were productive, you know with I mean with a quarterback last year
20:41
So, you know
20:43
You could you know, maybe come to the Pittsburgh Steelers, maybe, you know
20:48
Listen Coral in Coral in if you're listening to this come to the Pittsburgh Steelers come to the Pittsburgh Steelers
20:55
Come on. Follow
20:57
Russell Wilson, come on. Just follow
20:59
Follow him, please. Please follow him. Please for this moment
21:04
Please as a fan as a podcaster, please Coral and Sutton
21:09
Come to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Omar get on the phone and get this man
21:14
I need the con artist to get this man
21:18
Please Adam a few more a few more maybe about two more years on the remaining part of his deal
21:26
Little bit more money. Boom. We in there like swimwear now moving on to Daria Slayton. This is a
21:33
Really more complex situation simply because of where the Giants are positioned in the draft
21:39
So Daria Slayton if you happen if you happen to not know
21:44
I'm signed a two-year 12.2 million dollar deal last season in his due about 6.2 million in his final year
21:53
And so with that being said he is not attending and
21:58
voluntarily
22:00
Workouts, which you know if he did he would receive a 350,000 dollar bonus
22:07
Let's be honest here folks him getting paid
22:10
He simply relies on what the Giants are going to do in the draft now
22:16
You're probably thinking well that doesn't really that shouldn't dictate on if you get on if he gets paid or not
22:22
Yes, it does
22:23
simply because the Giants have a high draft pick and a lot of mock drafts have been mocking them to get
22:31
Someone like a Malik neighbors aroma, Dunes a
22:34
A Brian Thomas one of those you know high-end receivers
22:40
Whereas there's also mocks that are also saying that they might get a quarterback as well
22:45
So they're in a situation where depending on what they do in the draft will dictate
22:51
You know someone like a Daria Slayton getting paid
22:54
Now and I don't want to seem like I'm talking, you know out of the side of my mouth
22:58
The problem with this situation is you wanting to get paid
23:03
But the Giants didn't even pay say quine and say quine was the was the the heart and soul of the offense
23:11
They even pay him
23:12
So I mean if we being real here honestly speaking here if I could have a one-on-one conversation with what Daria Slayton
23:19
I would say bro if it was me personally
23:23
I would just play the the the rest of the season out and then just be a free agent
23:27
Because at this point if the organization didn't want to play I mean didn't want to pay there
23:34
the the heart and soul to their offense a
23:37
player who
23:40
Has been the most impactful since Odell Beckham, Jr. Why in the world would they pay you think about it?
23:47
Why would they want to pay you they overpaid for?
23:50
Daniel Jones overpaying now. They're realizing the mistake that they made why in the world
23:57
They want to pay you top dollar Daria Slayton is in a situation where
24:02
Honestly speaking here. It's best if you try to see if they if you can work something out
24:09
However, if you cannot work something out
24:12
You already know you have two options
24:15
You can either sit out or you can play and maybe see if you know if you're having a
24:22
Crazy, you know a crazy start to the season where you can sort of build up your your draft stock and teams will be
24:29
Interested in trading for you and then you get traded to another team midseason
24:32
That's the position that you're at right now because if you hold out
24:37
The Giants are not going to care. They've already shown that they are
24:40
Invested into Jalen height. They already showed that there's already mocks that are continuing to show that they're going to draft a receiver
24:50
So honestly speaking here like I said before in the beginning part of the episode
24:54
You're probably gonna be one of the players who's going to get the bottom end of the totem pole
25:00
That's where you are right now. And so, you know, you have to figure out. Do you?
25:06
Do you want to continue to do this or do you want to just you know?
25:11
Just try to just try to take a risk on yourself come in work out
25:15
You know even even if it means you do workouts by yourself on the sideline
25:20
Just do that just do that at that point because you just holding out isn't gonna solve anything because
25:27
It just won't I'm sorry. It just will not solve anything now
25:33
moving on to
25:35
the scathing
25:38
Scathing report that came out yesterday about
25:42
former New England's New England Patriot head coach Bill Belichick. So our an article came out yesterday
25:49
basically detailing
25:52
That's Robert Kraft owner of the New England Patriots
25:56
I'm sort of intervening in the hiring process for Bill Belichick to be the next head coach for the Atlanta Falcons now
26:05
Before we talk about the situation. We have to talk about the history, right? And so few years. Let's go back a few years. So
26:13
Bill Belichick is regarded as one of the greatest
26:19
head coaches of all time one of the
26:21
Most winningest coaches of all time especially in this era
26:27
However, the problem with Bill Belichick has always been and this has been documented with books
26:34
former interviews with players and whatnot and you know
26:38
people that that worked within within the New England Patriots organization is his ego
26:44
he is a person that wants control and
26:47
You know for the longest time he has had control over the Patriots
26:52
He has he has wielded an iron fist with the Patriots for the longest time folks
26:59
There there was a period in time where you know
27:03
He had this philosophy where he would cut a player two years early than to have them two years late
27:09
Did it work a few times? Yes, it did but there were situations where it did backfire and
27:15
So when you have a head coach who?
27:20
You know
27:22
Has has basically put the greatest
27:26
Football player of all time and Tom Brady on the spotlight, you know in front of the entire team
27:32
That can rub that can rub people the wrong way
27:35
His demeanor how he moves how he operates all of these things, you know has rubbed people the wrong way for the longest time
27:44
That's why a lot of players who you know who were on those Super Bowl teams when they come out and they talk about you know
27:54
How how tough it is to play for Bill Belichick?
27:57
They're not saying these things just to create likes and you know create attention
28:02
They're doing this because Bill Belichick demands
28:06
Um perfection he demands that you do your job for the longest time his his famous saying was do your damn job
28:16
That was his saying do your damn job, okay?
28:20
and so
28:22
Bill Belichick is
28:24
At a point in his coaching career where he doesn't have as many opportunities as as what he thought he was because
28:31
Not only are you getting the coach in Bill Belichick?
28:36
But you're also will be getting the GM of Bill Belichick because while he was you know with the Patriots
28:43
He also did have some GM power
28:47
Along with being the head coach case in point
28:50
Look at the past three or four drafts, you know that the Patriots have had a lot of those players
28:56
He's with on from Mack Jones to the kill Harry to a few other notable players
29:03
He's with on them and it's been horrible if we're being honest here his last great draft
29:10
was probably
29:12
Maybe Derek Barmore. I would probably say in Christian Gonzalez though
29:16
Those are probably the last two where it's like wow those are like those are really great, you know really good really great drafts
29:23
It was only two. It was only two prospects everybody else. It's
29:29
It's slim pickings honestly and so when you have a when you have a coach, you know that
29:36
Demands that type of control
29:38
it can rub GM's the wrong way it really can and
29:43
You know for the people that don't realize in order for a team to be successful
29:49
your GM and
29:51
And your coach they have to be on the same wavelength now
29:56
They don't have to be buddy buddy. They don't have to be best friends
29:59
They don't have to you know go over each other's houses for you know for Thanksgiving and for the holidays and whatnot
30:05
But they but they have to be on the same mindset that we are trying to win a championship
30:11
and
30:12
Sometimes when you have a coach
30:14
Whose presence is as strong as a Bill Belichick
30:19
That can rub people the wrong way that can make people not want to work with you honestly speaking here
30:25
And it honestly doesn't help that with the recent
30:30
Docu series that's come out called the dynasty
30:33
If for for those who haven't watched it you should definitely watch it. It is a great watch
30:38
It sort of gives you of the last dance type of lives, but it's a little bit shorter
30:44
But it's really good though really really really really good. It's on Apple TV by the way
30:48
Not not this isn't sponsored. Just just putting it out there now
30:53
Going back to Bill Belichick
30:56
during the coaching hires cycle
31:00
Bill Belichick really wasn't getting a whole lot of interviews honestly speaking here
31:05
The most notable one that a lot of people were definitely sort of attracted to
31:11
Was the Falcons job and the charges job?
31:14
There were a lot of people including myself that definitely believed that Bill Belichick was either gonna go to either the Falcons
31:21
Chargers or the commanders honestly, but ultimately they decided to go in a different direction
31:26
And so here we are now do I personally believe that robbercraft may be maybe probably
31:35
Intervened in this, you know in his hiring process. I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be simply because
31:42
Robert Krav really hasn't really hasn't had the best relationship with little Belichick may I remind you ladies and gentlemen
31:52
This is the same bill Belichick that tried to trade for that tried to trade Tom Brady
31:59
When he was winning
32:01
Yes, yes, yes, this is documented. You could you could look him up go on Google see for yourself
32:07
there was a point in time where the Patriots had just drafted Jimmy Garoppolo and Bill was
32:13
head over heels for Jimmy and so
32:16
You know there there were rumbling starting starting to surface that Bill was gonna move on from Tom and
32:23
Basically have Jimmy, you know carry, you know carry on the torch and so that that angered Tom to the point where Tom went to
32:32
Robert Krav since they have a very close relationship and Robert Krav intervened and Robert Krav basically said you're going to trade Jimmy Garoppolo
32:39
I'm telling you I am demanding you as the owner as your boss to trade Jimmy Garoppolo
32:46
And we're gonna keep Tom Brady and so since then that has angered
32:52
Bill Belichick and he's probably you know kept that and so
32:57
You have to tack that on with you know
33:00
GM's and teams they don't want a bill Belichick. They don't they don't want someone who?
33:07
You know is gonna want is gonna want their hand in every single little thing
33:12
They don't want that they want someone who can kill who can coach the team and you know try to to win as many games possible
33:19
And ultimately try to compete for a championship. That's what they want. They don't want someone that you know is
33:26
You know as a part-time GM and a full-time coach. They don't want that at this point
33:34
Now I will make a prediction though I
33:38
Truly believe that Bill Belichick will be the next head coach for the Dallas Cowboys
33:43
And I say that because the Cowboys are in a situation where they need a strong force
33:50
They need a strong presence within that locker room within that organization that is going to
33:57
Create order and the only person I know that can create order the best and has consistently showed it
34:03
Despite his recent failures is Bill Belichick
34:07
Bill Belichick is gonna clean house. He's gonna bring in his people and
34:12
Any player that may not you know that may not like him that mean that may feel offended on how he you know moves and operates
34:20
And coaches he'll definitely ship them off. No problem. Only things wise about it
34:25
Do I think he probably would go anywhere else? Yes
34:29
From what I've seen and in various reports
34:31
I've seen that he is interested in coaching for not only the Cowboys, but the Giants and the Eagles
34:38
Even even in that situation
34:41
That's a little bit more
34:43
Complex only because with the Eagles all their money is invested into the offense and not a lot of money is invested into the defense
34:51
And so, you know with with Jalen Hertz already already showing signs of regression
34:57
How much would he regress under a bill Belichick system?
35:02
Because a bill Belichick system, you know, it's sort of a run-heavy type of you know situation
35:08
And when you have receivers like a J Brown and the Vontae Smith, they're gonna want theirs
35:14
So I say all that to say this and this will probably be the last thing that I'll say
35:20
Bill Belichick is in a is in a phase where he's trying to rebrand himself trying to make it seem like, you know, I'm
35:28
Changed I'm more progressive. You know, I'm willing to
35:32
Make changes and change how I you know coaching whatnot for the betterment of the team
35:38
TEAM as he said in one interview is that going to change the hearts and minds of GM's?
35:43
I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see how the chips fall
35:49
After this upcoming season do I think Bill Belichick will be a head coach again? Yes
35:55
100% simply because
35:57
Despite the ego despite, you know, how people may feel about Bill Belichick as the person you cannot
36:05
Deny his coaching his coaching is still intact and his defenses when when they have, you know
36:12
Effective players is a still a very dangerous defense. So with that being said, I want to end this episode
