Starting point is 00:03:47 I'm coming back for sure. Gonna try to get back to the best shape I've ever been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in the last game and how I got the guys ready for battle and I can't go out like that.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I told y'all. I said it wouldn't happen. He was coming back simply for the fact the way it ended. No one is ending their career like that. You know, especially a great one like Trap who's considered, who most consider, including yourself, you know, the greatest tight end of
Starting point is 00:04:19 all time. If I'm going to finish it, I want to finish it the right way. I'm not finishing it with that taste in my mouth. That's not happening. For me, it's him and Gronk. Some people say Gronk. Some people are going to say Kelsey. If you look at the consistency and the longevity
Starting point is 00:04:35 in which he's played with, and with the exception of the last game, that's really the only game that you can say, well, Trav didn't have it. Trav didn't come to play. He had the most catches in playoff history. He had the second most yards, the second most touchdowns, and the consistency year in and year out. The 1,000-yard season, leading his team in receptions.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah, for me, that's it for me. But, hey, if you say Gronk, you got a very compelling argument as well. Ocho, the Eagles are reportedly a real threat to go after Miles Garrett. They expect Josh Sweat to move on. Josh Sweat is not the only one that's be moving on. I think it's Michael Williams, the other D-tackle, he gonna be
Starting point is 00:05:16 going too. He'll be going too. Hey, listen. I saw the reports today. The Browns are willing to negotiate with Myles Garrett. I don't want that. Guess what? My new team going to negotiate too.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Hey, and he said no. He said no, and I'm sure they're probably going to stand firm unless they get an offer that they can't refuse, and I think that's what the Eagles will have to do in order to get Myles Garrett over there. Listen, with Howie and... I don't put a pass on him. I don't put nothing past him.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Based on the way things have been going, you miss a few pieces, but you add someone like Myles Garrett to that defense, man, you already got Jalen Carter. Commander's going to be in play too. Man. Myles Garrett is unwilling to negotiate a contract extension with the organization as his agents have apparently slammed the door shut on any discussions per Mary Kay Cabot.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Listen, when Mary Kay Cabot speaks about the Browns, listen, when Diana Rossini, when she speaks about the Jets, when Jane Slater speaks about the Cowboys, I hope youets. Right. And Jane Slater speaks about the Cowboys. I hope you're listening. Yeah. I hope you're listening. When those women speak about an issue about said teams, they're plugged in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I'm talking about plugged in like a hot comb. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Oh, yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely. Garrett remains firm. He no longer wants to be in Cleveland. I'm talking about plugged in like a hot cone. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Oh, yeah, most definitely. Plugged in. Most definitely. Garrett remains firm. He no longer wants to be in Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Look, 29-year-old defensive player of the year, 29-year-old guys that have four consecutive 14 sack seasons. Those guys don't grow on trees. And let me ask you this. Do you think there's a guy in the draft that can give you that kind of production over the next five years? Okay. So it doesn't matter where you are i trade him now if i'm if i'm a defense you know if i need something something to shore up my defense uh phil and say we good offensively we can get better defensively and if that means you know we trade a couple of first round draft picks you're probably gonna have to throw in a talent, a young player, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You're probably going to have to do that. The commanders, you're probably going to have to do that. But at that point in time, look, I don't care nothing about them picks because I believe, Ocho, we're going to be picking 30th, 31st, or 32nd anyway because we're going to be in the championship game or the Super Bowl. That's what I believe. I know for certain I'm not getting a Myles Garrett with the 30th, the 31st, or the 32nd pick. Now what I believe. I know for certain I'm not getting a Miles Garrett with the 30th or 31st or the 32nd pick. Now, I could.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I could. But the likelihood isn't that good. Normally, those guys, your Derek Thomas, your Bruce Smith, and so forth and so on like that. Those guys, every once in a while, you'll find a Johnny Randall that was an undrafted free agent. But
Starting point is 00:08:03 that doesn't happen often. You'll find a Diamond in the Rough. You'll another draft of free agent. Oh, yeah. But that doesn't happen often. Right. You'll find a diamond in the rough. You'll find a Terrell Davis or Shannon Sharp or Tom Brady in the later rounds. But listen, don't you stake your career on trying to find diamonds in the rough? Oh, no. That ain't what happened. You go belly up.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You go belly up. But look, it all depends on Cleveland, what's your asking price. We know this, Ocho. It's going to take two ones. Now, if it's this draft, you're going to have to pick swap. So you have to, hey, you have to give up your pick because they're keeping theirs. You have to give up this first-year pick and next year's first-round pick, probably a second and a fourth.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Right. Or second and a third. And probably a player. Feeling like we ain't got no problem. Feeling like, look, we're picking 32nd. Guess what? We hope to be picking 32nd next year. And y'all can have it.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Y'all can have them picks'all gonna have to pick yeah most definitely long as long as we get in the results long as we get miles garrett that's uh what jayla hurts in year six you got davante in year in year five you got aj yo man bro i'm not worried about that we gonna be good yeah i'm not even i'm not even I'm not worried about that. We're going to be good. I'm not even concerned about those draft picks knowing where we are, what we have, who we are. Take them. Take them. You can't have Jalen Carter.
Starting point is 00:09:38 You can't have Mikel, Kenyon Mikel. You can't have Mitchell. Yeah, Kenyon Mitchell. you can't have him. Mitchell, excuse me. Yeah, Kenyon Mitchell. You can't have him. Everything else, Ocho, is in play. It's on the table, huh? Yeah. Yeah. For Miles Garrett?
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah. You just said, put Miles Garrett with Jalen Carter? And Jordan Davis. Boy, man, slap me, slap me and slap me and call me silly. And,
Starting point is 00:10:14 and you got, uh, uh, uh, Nolan Smith, Jr. Yeah. Hey,
Starting point is 00:10:19 y'all felt only two 30, but he, Hey, he can go. He can go now. Hey, baby. We here? Hey, I heard, I saw him dropping offensive linemen at 230. He hitting 330.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Guys, 330. I know they talking about it felt like trees falling on the head. Ocho, I'm talking about he in the grill. I'm talking about hey, he putting his helmet under they chin. I'm buckling him. At 230.
Starting point is 00:10:57 So, but Miles, for an opportunity to get Miles Garrett, guys like this, Ocho, don't become available at the age of 29. Normally they have issues, off the field issues. They're coming off multiple injuries. Injuries, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 He's uninjured. He's clean off the field. Yeah. That's the kind of guy that you're willing. That's the guy. That's not no rolling the dice, but that's the guy that you say, okay, we'll give up two first rounds. We'll give up a second.
Starting point is 00:11:27 We'll give up a third and a young, talented player to get a guy like that. Yeah. Absolutely. Let me grab water. Let me grab water. Go ahead. But Cleveland's going to try everything, Chad, to try to keep Miles Garrett. They think it's about money.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Miles Garrett's like, bro, y'all just gave me a 125. I'm straight on the money issue. The problem is here, it's not the money, it's the winning. I got money. I'm getting money, but I'm miserable. Week five, we out of playoff contentions. We got no hope. We got no quarterback.
Starting point is 00:11:59 And I don't really want to waste another year or two to try to build this thing back up. He's made it abundantly clear. He don't want to be a part of a rebuilding process. He wants to go somewhere that gives him a legitimate chance in order to win the championship because that's what it's about. He's been an all pro. He's been defensive player of the year.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Now he's like, man, let me go play meaningful ball games. There's nothing like playing meaningful ball games in december and january with a chance to play in february so it's not the money i mean yeah they're gonna they would be willing to make him the highest paid but he's gonna be miserable because they're not gonna win yeah and you you would you would think for all he's done so far in cleveland he's done everything he can they know the team knows the organization knows it's in a rebuilding stage. Why would you keep a player like that? Why would you keep a player like
Starting point is 00:12:50 that knowing that he can do you no justice in competing for a championship? Allow him to go while you rebuild and do your thing. Get some assets and picks for him and start over. I agree. We say that now, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:13:05 because if we the GM at Cleveland, we ain't trying to let him go either. Oh, yeah, you're right. Me and you saying that, that's not the biggest piece of the puzzle that we got that we can trade. Right. Hey, come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:20 We're going to make you the highest paid. We got $35 million per year. We're willing to give you five years $175 million because that's what we feel you're worth. And we're willing to fully guarantee $100 million of that.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Nah, I think I'm going to have to go and mosey all out the door. Because guess what? Somebody else will give me that too. And we got a chance to win. Yep. Which is much better because I done got enough money. Well, you can't ever have enough money. Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. There's no such thing as enough, but I'm doing pretty well for myself.
Starting point is 00:13:59 You like to be doing better. I mean, if Elon Musk is worth $450 billion and he's still trying to get contracts, federal government contracts, yeah, me and you, we ain't got no billions. So we definitely tried to make ends meet. You're right about that. But yeah, Miles,
Starting point is 00:14:15 I understand. You're going to own a stomach so much. Money, money, money, money. Okay, when I got money and then here I am, I'm going out there with what I put my body through to get ready to make sure I go. Who is that?
Starting point is 00:14:31 Who is that? What you looking at? I'm looking at this chat. We're trying to get Tank plugged in. Are we good to go, Ash, yet? Okay. It's easy to say Ocho,
Starting point is 00:14:50 money, money, money. But when you're competitive and you see everybody else getting an opportunity to play meaningful football, you see everybody else playing in AFC and NFC championship game.
Starting point is 00:15:00 They're playing in Super Bowl. And here I am. I'm one of the premier players. I don't know what else he can do. And we don't have no chance. We got no chance whatsoever of playing meaningful games in December. We're not playing anything
Starting point is 00:15:13 meaningful in January. Damn near week 10, I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do in the offseason. Season over. So, with that being said, I understand Miles' frustration. He's had it up to here wherever here is or his six four six five self um he just wants to move on and have an opportunity to play
Starting point is 00:15:34 meaningful football in december in january and i'm not so sure cleveland can provide that over the next two years and he says i want to be somewhere where I can compete for a championship. And I don't believe that's in Cleveland. Yeah. Let the man go on about his business, baby. Are you still waiting? He come on, write that down. He come on down the street, know the Cincinnati if you want to.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali
Starting point is 00:17:23 and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
Starting point is 00:17:59 through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
Starting point is 00:19:00 that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Many think that Ben Johnson, the former officer coordinator for the Detroit Lions, took an unnecessary shot at Jerry Goff earlier. Let's take a listen to the sound. Out of structure, the off schedule, the creation,
Starting point is 00:19:50 that's what stands out the most because that's really the way that this league's going right now, it seems like. As much as you want to make it pure progression, one to two to three, there's just too much variety. The pass rush is coming down, and to have an athlete like Caleb extend the play and potentially find an explosive down the field,
Starting point is 00:20:09 that's what gets me going a little bit. I get excited thinking about that because I haven't really been around that since I've been in the league, but I've been on the other side, and I've experienced it, and it's demoralizing when you're on the other side and you're watching that happen to your defense. That ain't no shot. Yeah, I don't think it's a shot. It's the truth.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Obviously, listen. No, you think it is? No, it's the truth. Caleb Williams can make off-scripted plays. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. There's a handful of quarterbacks in the NFL that can do that. And the fact that Ben Johnson's never been around a quarterback
Starting point is 00:20:43 that can extend plays and play off script most of the time. When things break down, you go through progression. One, two, three is not there. Most quarterbacks, that's a sack for Jerry Goff. You know, he's not a mobile quarterback. He's your prototypical dropback quarterback. Go through his stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Check down if it's not there. Caleb Williams can extend plays and therefore make the play calling that much more better for ben johnson who's already creative so he can be able to do that much more look how good golf was with ben johnson calling the plays so imagine what he can do with caleb williams with the creativity from that aspect and if things don't work out well you know what i ain't got the trip because I got Caleb Williams. Who's the dual threat and could use his legs and extend plays for me and
Starting point is 00:21:29 make something happen when there's nothing there. But that's the, and that's the thing. He was asked a question. He says, he's looking forward to playing with a guy that can make plays off script. Right. And he can,
Starting point is 00:21:40 that's what Caleb Williams can do. He can make plays off script. You know, you basically, when you diagram the play, that's the play that's got to get run because that's not what Jared Goff feels, and that's okay. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:21:52 There's nothing wrong with that. They make it seem like, well, damn. So what are the differences? So anybody think he's taking a shot at Jared? If you watch Jared Goff play and you watch Caleb Williams play, what do you think some of the differences are? Ability to make plays outside the pocket,
Starting point is 00:22:10 his scrambling ability, his ability to get off script, ability to change arm angles, arm slots. Okay. I don't, you know, hey, what's the difference between, what's one of the main differences
Starting point is 00:22:27 between Saquon and Derrick Henry? Saquon's a little bit more shifty, a little bit more elusive. What you call him runs with a little bit more power. That's not taking a shot at either one of them. That's just factual. What's the difference between McCaffrey and this one? When McCaffrey is, you know, you can put him in the slot.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You line him up outside. Better catching the ball out of the backfield. A lot of times, they took Derrick Henry out. A lot of times, they took Saquon out on third down. They don't take C-Mac out on third down. So that's not a knock. Just because you're accentuating the differences,
Starting point is 00:23:07 that don't mean you're hating or you're knocking the other guy. You're just accentuating the differences between two said players. Right. I mean, but you know how it is, Ocho, man.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Hey, now everybody feel like you taking a shot at the man. I don't think the man was taking a shot at him. Listen, a coach like that has to be able to explain the differences and what he experienced one place and what he's going to experience at a new place based on that specific position without it being seen in disrespect.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah. Because it's the honest truth. Right. Ocho, he also said he would sacrifice both testicles for the Bears to win a Super Bowl. I already got three kids. What would you sacrifice? First of all, you ain't going to get no wood.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. Well, you can get some wood. You don't need the testicles to get no... Yeah, you do. Hoo-ha. So how you going to put a popsicle stick up there and hold it like you got a splint? How you going to get a direction? Oh, you take, you take, no, you could take out what allows you to have kids.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Do that. So, no, he said he had his testicles removed. He ain't said nothing about no septum. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know about that. I don't know about that because, yeah, I ain't doing that. I donum. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know about that. I don't know about that because, yeah, I ain't doing nothing. Hey, I don't tell nobody no trouble.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Hey, I got kid. I'm keeping mine. He gave him to me for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did. He didn't want me to have him. He wouldn't have gave him to me. You right. Listen, you right about that. I'm with you when you right. Now, listen, I'm picking up what you're putting down. Speaking of kids, I want one more. What you think? Huh? I want one more.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I don't know, Ocho. I ain't got no brain. Hey, you must be, hey, well, damn, I want one more. What you think? Huh? I want one more. I don't know, Ocho. I ain't got no bread. Hey, you must be. Hey, well, damn. I need to go back to ESPN because you talking about another kid. They call money. I ain't got no bread like that. No, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But listen, I'm not trying to be funny. I've always been humble. You know, I'm a very humble person. I'm very, very respectful. I mean, just with the way things are going right now, man, listen, God has favor. You hear me? Yes. God has favor and
Starting point is 00:25:10 what he's doing for me right now, I think one more won't hurt. You know? I'm going to see how my kids feel about it. If they give me the green light, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Just get it out of the way.
Starting point is 00:25:33 No. Wait, you talking to me? Oh, no, absolutely not, Jordan. Are you typing this? Oh, no. That ain't happening uh what happened no Asher sent me something uh I want to know too
Starting point is 00:25:52 somebody text me why y'all don't ever text me I want to be part two it's a two man show you got your producer do you got a producer over there okay Aaron text me what they just text I just want to feel just want to feel part. Y'all be leaving me out like I'm a stepchild.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Okay, how about this here? Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott, says, Tush Push play should be banned. There's always been an injury risk with that play. The technique used with the play have been potentially contrary to the health and safety of the players. Bill used the play 55 times last year, second most in the league, but internal data shows the tush-push play in 2024 resulted in zero injuries.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Zero injuries. And listen, they don't want to stop it because of the injury. They don't want to stop it because of that aspect. They want to stop the tush-push because they have no way of stopping it in short-yardage situations. Right. they want to stop the tush for us because they have no way of stopping it in short yardage situations right and and really honestly it only works for certain teams with certain players based on their personnel for one the eagles is number one i don't have the statistics in front of me on who else it works for i think it also worked for josh allen too yeah i think they're around 87 88 conversion rate oh my goodness listen i'd want to stop it too but the fact that mcdermott
Starting point is 00:27:08 wants to stop it and he also benefits from it you know how about how about also throwing the rule you know what on on short on short on short downs your quarterback can't run josh allen yeah josh allen can't quarterback sneak you see what that sounds like? Mm-hmm. Come on, man. It's like you're hindering somebody that's better at something than you are. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't learn how to drive. You don't know how to drive.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Hey, anybody that's 16 years of age shouldn't be able to drive. No, just because you can't drive, that don't mean another 16-year-old can. So all that tells you is on first and second down, you need to play better defense. Yep. And keep them out of third and short or fourth and short. I'll tell you what. They keep playing around with all these rules,
Starting point is 00:27:52 and they continue to change the game in which you grew up loving. It's going to look like flag football. I'm telling you. I think the thing is, Ocho, look, the only thing I say is that, because like I said, I told you, I think we talked about this on Monday, is that it used to be said, I told you, I think we talked about this on Monday, is that it used to be you couldn't push the runner.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It was called aiding the runner. Right. So you couldn't, and then they changed the rules. And now I guess they say, well, you can't be behind the line of scrimmage and aid the runner. So I guess if he's down the field, because we see guys, them linemen have been knocking the hell out of people and trying to push somebody in the end zone or for a first down since the beginning of time.
Starting point is 00:28:29 We hadn't seen somebody literally, Ocho, get behind them and push. But when they first saw this, they should have said, no, you're violating the spirit of the rule. And did away with it then. Now, everybody tried it. They're not as good as the Eagles are. Okay, because we can't be as good as the Eagles are at it, let's do away with it. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:56 That's what it seems like to me. And they get a lot of support. A lot of people want to ban it, Ocho. I heard Atlanta, obviously the Packers put it in. You see Sean McDermott here in Buffalo. Do they have enough to get to the 24 boats to get it out? That's the question.
Starting point is 00:29:15 The funny thing about it, it's going to be funny when they do pass it and they're still not able to stop the damn Eagles and show you all the situations. Biggles wide receiver T. Higgins just posted a cryptic message on Twitter. Blue cap. For the second year in a row, Higgins has not received the right contract offer from Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Ocho. What I told you. The Biggles go, hey. What did I tell you they was going to do? What did I tell you they was going to do? I said this. The right was on the wall. Everybody in Cincinnati, they fussed with me. The fans arguing with me
Starting point is 00:29:49 over and over and over and over. We can pay both. We can make it happen. Not understanding the business side of things. What T deserves, what T deserves in understanding
Starting point is 00:30:00 what he can get on the open market, they're not going to do. Right. Because it would be impossible to pay T. It would be impossible to pay Jamar Chase, who's going to be the highest paid and reset the wide receiver market and pay brother Trey Henderson.
Starting point is 00:30:18 You can't. It's impossible. Then people talk about, oh, the cap is going up. Like, no, what are you talking about? They're not tying up all the money in three players, let alone four. Actually, it'll be four players because Burrow got his money. Here's the thing, Ocho, is that they said they want to make Jamar Chase the highest paid non-quarterback.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Okay? Chase is looking to go north of 40. Y'all have an opportunity to keep this in the 30s, but y'all made me play it out. And I won the Triple Crown. So now you're going to have to come in at 40. Okay, $40 million, $500,000, $41 million, whatever the case may be, I'm going to zoom past him by $5 million, $6 million.
Starting point is 00:31:00 That's where I am. And I'm going to need about $90 to $100 of a guarantee. Yeah. That's what I'm looking at Joe real talk listen that's what I knew it was gonna look like that I knew it was gonna look like that when it played itself out last year I kept saying I'm not sure why they're playing because why not
Starting point is 00:31:18 pay him because you understand what you get in Uno you know what you get when that product touches the field on Sundays yes he sat out of the training camp understand what you get in uno you know what you get when that product touches the field on sundays yes he sat out of the training camp he gave y'all every opportunity he gave y'all every opportunity to give him a payday every chance listen i love my bangles but it puts us us again in in a tough spot uh i was hoping they could they could get something done last year they didn't get it done he comes out this year,
Starting point is 00:31:45 performs without having a training camp, wins a Triple Crown, and now look what position we're in. T. Higgins has another strong season. I said it. What he can get on the open market, whatever deal they're going to send him, they're going to try him.
Starting point is 00:32:02 They're going to try him, which is why he sent that out. I don't know if it was what Duke Tobin came out and said about not only making them trying to sign all three of them. I think that's where the cap came from. Yeah, you're trying to sign him, but somebody got to get the low end of the stick. And who did I tell you it had to be? It had to be Teague. Teague looked at the crack, that $30 million. And I don't know if they can get to that number
Starting point is 00:32:26 no I guarantee the offer was very disrespectful again it's the business side of things but hey nobody wanted to listen to me what y'all gonna do Wachow listen I don't know what we gonna do I don't know what we gonna do now i don't i don't i don't
Starting point is 00:32:45 know what we're gonna do and i think it would have been a little easier if we had jermaine burton on point you know from a mental you know mentally off the field on the field if he was able to contribute uh based on the talent that i know he has based on what i saw from him and at alabama i think they would be a little bit more comfortable, you know, with allowing T to go and get what he deserves somewhere else on the open market. But the fact that I don't think Mr. Burton has has has matured enough, you know, to to be able to to let T go. You know, in that sense, I know T ain't from the state and play on no franchise tag again. That's that would be the ultimate disrespect. Allow him to go get the value and what he deserves,
Starting point is 00:33:25 and he worked his, you know what, his tail off. Yep, I agree. And what you calling ain't going to give you no discount either? Trey Hendrickson. Oh, no. No. I mean, so what? You're going to have a $55 million quarterback,
Starting point is 00:33:38 a $40 million receiver, a $30 plus million receiver, and a $30 plus million D-line? You can't. You can't pay everybody. You can't. You just can't.
