2:01

not super busy relative to other

2:03

teams across the league, but that's

2:06

also not super surprising when you

2:08

consider they are being more strategic

2:10

with their spending. On.

2:12

This off season and the you know to

2:15

be fair, they were pretty strategic with their

2:17

spending last off season frequencies. Well, On.

2:20

It's all cyclical, right? A Miami's at

2:22

a point right now where they have

2:24

the surplus of the big contracts, but

2:26

then also the surplus of young players

2:28

because of how they chose to attack

2:30

Twenty Twenty One and Twenty Twenty Two.

2:33

Or. That are going to need

2:35

new contracts. so your. Decision.

2:38

Was to either. Drive the

2:40

car all the way over the cliff

2:42

or to recalibrate, which I think is

2:44

as people have asked me this week.

2:46

You know that the state of affairs

2:48

in Miami I the recalibration is probably

2:50

the. Best. Adjective to describe

2:52

how they're choosing to go about their business.

2:54

but. Ah, The agreements that

2:56

they came to yesterday. With.

2:59

Two veteran players are probably be

3:01

really meaningful players from Miami. And.

3:04

They get pretty friendly market value

3:06

for. Both. Of these guys

3:08

know miami agree to terms with. Somebody.

3:11

Who we spotlighted two weeks ago when it was

3:13

announced he was being cut from his current team

3:15

is a potion first cut. That. Of course

3:17

a sec sec Barrett from the Tampa Bay

3:19

Buccaneers and then Jordan player safety from the

3:21

Bills who was linked to the Dolphins a

3:23

whole bunch last year or he also agreed

3:25

to terms or whoop. That's where we're at

3:27

today. Sore and talk about Shaq There are

3:29

a top of your employer and I were

3:31

to talk about where the markets out right

3:33

now. And what makes sense

3:36

or shack Barrett or it was announced Agreed

3:38

it in terms to a one year deal.

3:40

Worth. Up to nine million dollars and up to

3:43

is important I because that's the max dive the

3:45

contract. Some. Of these

3:47

max value contracts that you're hearing.

3:49

Take in for any Jennings. another edge player

3:52

he signed resign in New England on a

3:54

three year deal. It was reported that the

3:56

max value that contract. Was. Twenty four

3:59

million Dollars. But. The.

4:01

Base value of the contract. Was.

4:04

Half of that. So. Three

4:06

for twelve. Three for Twelve is very

4:08

different than three for twenty Four. So.

4:11

For shack, Bear it. Out. Who

4:13

I hadn't? The bucket of players.

4:16

As. And banking for one movie or a

4:18

preview. The age group along with Jonathan

4:20

Renard from the Texans who sign in

4:22

Minnesota on a four year seventy six

4:24

million dollar contract ah Bryce Tough who

4:26

side three years fifty one with the

4:28

Philadelphia Eagles. the and giggles signed to

4:30

for twenty with Minnesota. Josue.

4:33

To win back to New England. On.

4:35

A one year deal worth up to eight

4:37

million dollars, but a base of three. And.

4:41

Shack parents in that same ballpark as

4:43

far as max value on when your

4:46

contract so the oil player that I

4:48

had in that bucket which are all

4:50

like adequate starters. On.

4:52

The Edge group. I. Used to Damien

4:54

Clowney and assembly his can take it a visit

4:57

to the Carolina Panthers this week. Or.

4:59

So Miami getting in the same.

5:02

Pockets of Talents as an outgoing

5:04

talent. For. A lesser

5:06

condemn it with probably more conditional

5:09

money. When. You consider the age

5:11

group that they have with Philips and Salads

5:13

Jill Philips he's walking without a limp. That

5:15

up they came courtesy social media and honestly

5:17

Bradley child with his rehab from his season

5:19

ending injury last year. Later years well. A

5:22

galley shack buried is really attractive because you're

5:24

protecting yourself or say wolf. If he ends

5:27

up briefing Maxwell his contract, he was definitely

5:29

worth. It because. Of whatever the

5:31

stipulations are within the contract. But.

5:34

I love the fact that Miami went out. And

5:36

they got a veteran player. Who.

5:38

I had coveted literally right next

5:41

to intervene giggle. For. Half

5:43

of the commitment. And. When. Miami's.

5:46

Ideology K and there's a whole bunch of

5:48

people in all different kinds of feelings for

5:51

all different kinds of reasons about Miami's I

5:53

the out. He

5:55

talks about sustained success. It's all

5:58

well, long term contender. And

6:01

it of flexibility. And.

6:04

You're at that stage where that you're going to

6:06

start to cherry pick and pick and choose who

6:08

you want your next big contracts to be. Because.

6:11

I cannot state this enough. If Miami wanting.

6:13

To. Pay Grisham organs robber hunt be time money to

6:15

keep them. They could. But.

6:18

The ramifications of that would have been

6:20

compromising the fluidity and the flexibility of

6:22

what their roster situation is. What players

6:24

they're committed to have easily get out

6:26

of those contracts, not eating up too

6:28

much of your roster into voided dollars

6:30

for players who in future years will

6:32

not no longer be under contract to

6:35

be with the team at all. That

6:37

stuff is a part of the ideology

6:39

of whom I am. He wants to

6:41

be. And. They've told us that for

6:43

several years. And. They've shown us

6:45

that for several years with how they have operated

6:48

from a contracts perspective in how they structure the

6:50

country. And.

6:52

How there's. Multiple

6:55

exit strategies for big contracts that

6:57

they have Whether it's pre June

6:59

first pushing, first wait, another year,

7:01

restructure all that stuff. But.

7:05

Now that you're at that tipping point

7:07

where you're gonna have to start to

7:10

cherry pick. Is that

7:12

are contracts like Shaq Barrett? With.

7:14

Conditional money and veteran contracts

7:16

like your employer. It's

7:19

like a bridge player. right?

7:22

You. Don't expect it to be a

7:24

long term solution. But. As.

7:28

The league has shown us. annually.

7:32

The. Vast majority of teams across the

7:34

league are going to have thirty to

7:37

forty percent attrition. annually.

7:39

On their roster or players are different. So.

7:42

To find. Plus.

7:44

Value players even if they're

7:46

older. Units. Are not quite

7:48

what they were at their peak. On.

7:51

Short term commitments. To.

7:54

Fill in the gaps on your roster.

7:56

That. As a team building strategy. And.

7:58

it's part of what the new Patriots did so

8:01

well in the midst of their peak and I'm not

8:03

saying that that's you know what Miami is by any

8:05

means but that is teams

8:08

once you get past the initial influx

8:10

and spike in talent and you reach

8:12

a certain level of sustained success I

8:16

know they want a playoff game it's not

8:18

really the point the point is they have

8:20

been playoff contenders double-digit wins

8:23

winning seasons for street so like there's

8:25

there's teams that would trade a lot just

8:28

to reach that floor how

8:30

do you break through to the next height

8:33

while you're still riding that wave

8:36

it's contracts like these that can

8:38

help you challenge to achieve that it's

8:40

not guaranteed but challenge to

8:43

achieve it so

8:45

I really like the Shaq Barrett contract because

8:47

it's less than half the

8:49

financial commitment for a comparable pass rusher

8:52

Shaq Barrett you know Andrew Van Ginkle from a pass

8:54

rush efficiency standpoint was one of the better edge rushes

8:57

in the league Shaq Barrett was not

8:59

on that level this past year but

9:01

if you have a player who was top 30 in

9:04

the league in pressures which he was he had 50

9:07

pressures from the edge group all

9:09

the edge rushers last year his

9:12

pass rush efficiency was top 25

9:16

so he could still absolutely

9:18

rush the passer and you're

9:21

bringing in this player with the expectation you're gonna

9:23

have a larger role than normal early in the

9:25

season and then if the season wears

9:27

on your role is going

9:29

to diminish and allow you to

9:31

stay fresher later as an

9:33

older player it's

9:35

a likable formula

9:38

that's the thought process and a lot of what

9:41

I do on this show is explore the

9:43

why and the thought process and what the

9:45

intent is behind it knowing full

9:47

well it doesn't always work out that way

9:49

and that's an important disclaimer for all of

9:51

this but

9:54

you can see the intent behind

9:56

a contract like this That's

10:00

what makes me like it especially relative

10:02

to the economics of a

10:04

comparable player in the same bucket Who's

10:07

just a little older? But

10:11

you get a shorter commitment out of that and

10:13

more flexibility Which is the whole name of

10:15

the game of how they have consistently preached

10:17

of what they want to be Okay

10:22

We're gonna talk about Jordan Poyer next here on

Pro Pope. Is. The

12:34

nickname. To. Employer. Ah,

12:37

That in Florida after

12:39

what has apparently been

12:41

quite a. Saga

12:43

for him to. Get. Back here

12:46

he played college at were in states. Was

12:49

drafted in two thousand and thirteen. Is

12:51

going to turn thirty three years old? Just.

12:54

Next month. So.

12:57

He signed a one year deal worth two

12:59

million or. Agreed to

13:01

terms excuse me. Agreed to terms

13:03

on a one year deal. Worth.

13:06

Two million Dollars. To.

13:08

Employer does with the dolphins. And

13:11

if he told me the Jordan player was going

13:13

to be at a selection for. Miami.

13:16

I probably would have been. A little

13:18

bit luke warm with it just

13:20

because of you know, defensive backs

13:22

and see, these. Getting. Up in

13:24

a to little bit I I see proof for

13:26

your certainly past the peak prime of his career.

13:29

A little bit. More.

13:32

Variance. As. A player

13:34

but this is also player. The played Nine Hundred

13:36

and Eighty Seven Steps last year. He. Respect

13:38

that in and you identified recognize

13:41

some of that after the. Map.

13:46

Mulatto injury came. At. A

13:48

position that that clear usually didn't play.

13:50

He played are the lowest amount of

13:52

snaps. At. Free Safety.

13:55

In his entire Buffalo career he played this

13:57

past year in spite of playing almost thousand

13:59

steps. So.

14:02

As you dig into the context of jordan player

14:04

and and where he that. Highest.

14:06

Amount of box snaps taken, A.

14:09

Four hundred, nineteen snaps in the box

14:11

is a second level defender. Three.

14:13

Hundred Thirteen. Snaps. A

14:16

free safety. A hundred ninety seven snaps in

14:18

the slot. His. Previous I

14:20

buffalo for snaps in the slot was one hundred

14:22

thirty to sixty seven more. Snaps is a slot

14:24

defender. This year than any other year.

14:28

Or the next lowest amount of free see these

14:30

nasty during poor had taken was last year. Four

14:32

hundred twenty three, so hundred ten less naps if

14:34

received. And

14:36

four hundred nineteen snaps in the box. His previous

14:38

high Buffalo was back in two thousand and eighteen.

14:41

He took four hundred. And.

14:43

Twenty twenty two, He played two hundred snaps in the box. or

14:45

more than twice the man and a box next this year. So.

14:48

I think that is helpful for. Assessing

14:50

your employer the player is

14:52

recognizing. He got put in

14:54

some positions where he was challenged in different ways.

14:57

The ball production was down. He didn't have an

14:59

interception after having to that nine any to live

15:01

in the last two seasons combined. But

15:04

the missed tackle rate. Respectable

15:06

seven missed tackles for jordan Boy

15:08

or. A while playing. Closer.

15:11

To line of scrimmage as not, it's not a

15:13

silly a big guy. It's

15:16

the right amount of risk. For.

15:19

One year, two million dollars that this is

15:22

barely scratched the surface of your salary cap

15:24

type of player. And

15:26

he's all amped up. The.

15:28

Come back to Florida. That.

15:31

He said himself that he a

15:33

good common home. Right on there

15:35

is a big flirtation with your

15:38

employer. Last year. For

15:40

the dolphins and it seem like they they had

15:43

a pretty good chance to sign him he is

15:45

of signing a a deal. Of.

15:48

Baths. Was at seven million per to go back

15:50

to Buffalo in a two year deal He cut. Because

15:53

he cuts just like Jack Jack Bear. It was

15:55

cut. The. signings to not implicate

15:57

the dolphins compensatory pick for me And

16:00

they're standing in their pursuit of

16:02

additional draft compensation for the losses of Robert Hunt and

16:04

Christian Williams. Is

16:08

Jordan Poyer your definitive other

16:10

answer at safety? I

16:13

think he can be. I

16:16

think you do need to protect yourself though. And you

16:18

also want to be mindful that

16:20

Baltimore has a

16:23

scheme that used a lot of three safety

16:25

stuff between Marcus Williams and Kyle

16:27

Hamilton and Geno Stone last year. Which

16:30

is obviously what Anthony Weaver is bringing to my end.

16:32

If you think about the personnel that

16:35

the Dolphins have, they've already alluded to

16:37

in introductory press conferences, that

16:39

Jalen Ramsey is going to move around. I

16:41

don't think that makes him Kyle Hamilton, but

16:43

I think that makes him Kyle Hamilton-ish,

16:46

an esque with

16:48

his utilization. And that gets back to Jalen

16:50

Ramsey's roots with the Rams. And

16:53

I think that's a good thing. I think

16:55

that makes him more of a defensive weapon that

16:57

we anticipated we were getting instead of

16:59

an outside corner, no

17:02

matter how good of an outside corner he is. I

17:06

think in Javon Holland you have a Marcus Williams type

17:09

of player. I think he's a little bit more versatile

17:11

than Marcus Williams. And

17:13

Jordan Poyer's probably the Geno Stone

17:16

type of player, where Geno Stone

17:19

had some good ball production. I

17:22

think athleticism doesn't jump off the page at you a little bit. He's not the

17:24

biggest guy, but

17:26

he's obviously

17:28

had huge ball production in Baltimore's defense last year,

17:31

being around the football and being in the right

17:33

place. I think Jordan Poyer with his instincts allows

17:36

him to do some of those same things. You

17:39

can move Jordan Poyer around, obviously evidenced by

17:41

what he did last year in Buffalo with

17:43

being a second level defender.

17:46

The concern is just, by

17:48

the time he's undefeated, and

17:50

what is the runway for Jordan Poyer to

17:52

play at a level That

17:55

the Dolphins could be really excited about

17:57

is their second primary safety. The

18:00

Odyssey being in defense weapon it moves route. One.

18:03

Your two million dollars really protects you from that

18:05

in my my. So.

18:08

That was my concern would or and for as well. You know it.

18:12

It. Out of all production had a cat

18:14

a plane a different spot last year

18:16

the We Thirty three. I

18:18

don't love that. But.

18:20

Then for one year, two million dollars. Is

18:23

the discipline is it does one player. And.

18:27

For that price. It's

18:29

it's hard to see any viable

18:32

risk. Is

18:34

the you? You've really protected yourself

18:36

financially again? Short term

18:38

contract. With. Proper Productions.

18:41

Example: flexibility to transition in pivot.

18:44

And then is Miami goes through the next. Eighteen.

18:47

Months they're going to have to to draft classes

18:49

in the next eighteen months I would expect it

18:51

can be more of a centered focusing, getting back

18:53

into that side of the team building strategy. And.

18:57

As the next round of players emerge

18:59

is from of that. A

19:01

gambit. You'll.

19:04

Need less veteran players but they'll still

19:06

be cheaper contracts then you can reinvest

19:08

elsewhere. Ended the cycle, will continue to

19:10

spit. Or

19:13

for twenty twenty four. A.

19:16

Player of this level experience. Coming.

19:18

From a divisional rival. So.

19:21

There's a little bit of insight. they could perhaps

19:23

be helpful. In. How To Attack That

19:25

Team Us not forget the impact that Rinaldo

19:27

Hill may or may not have had as

19:29

a coach coming over from the Chargers in

19:31

the off season. Miami obviously needs to solve

19:33

this riddled with they're going to get to

19:35

where they need to be, particularly this year.

19:39

You. Look at the division and the

19:41

divisional landscape. Jets had been quiet. I'm

19:43

sure they'll make some spices. But.

19:45

Their quarterback is presumably more concerned about

19:47

whether nice gonna run for vice president

19:49

on the independent ticket. Then

19:52

he is. This. Hats right now.

19:57

The. bills have been less active than

19:59

miami has In all honesty, I think

20:02

their moves were they re-signed Daquan Jones, which

20:04

is an excellent signing for them. It's a

20:07

loss to the interior defensive line market. And

20:09

they have brought in Nicholas Moreau

20:12

at wider seer or at linebacker, excuse

20:15

me. And they just

20:17

signed Mac Hollins, they just agreed with Mac

20:19

Hollins today to potentially replace Gabe

20:21

Davis. That's

20:23

probably an upgrade over Gabe Davis, but that's neither over there. So

20:28

Miami, you look at, okay, yeah, there's been outgoing

20:30

talent. But between

20:32

Jordan Brooks and Jordan Poyer

20:35

and Shaq Barrett and

20:37

Aaron Brewer on the offensive line, Jono

20:40

Smith, there's been some

20:42

retooling and some again, recalibrating

20:45

of positions that's

20:47

more active than Buffalo. And then New

20:49

England is sitting out here just re-signing their

20:51

own guys. Nobody wants to

20:53

play for them right now. They're so far

20:56

away from being on

20:58

that competitive pathway that

21:02

if you solve the Western New York

21:04

riddle as Miami this year, even just

21:06

split, you

21:09

put yourself in a position to potentially win the

21:11

division and compete for home

21:13

playoff games and playoff wins and all those things that

21:15

everybody's all mad about that we don't have right now.

21:17

It's

21:21

out there. And

21:24

moves like this can help if

21:28

father time allows it. And as is the

21:30

case with free agency, most players are on

21:32

free agency because there is some level of

21:34

inherent risk with these players.

21:36

Because if there was not, they designed

21:38

big contracts with their other team. So

21:42

that's Jordan Poyer. Now we're

21:44

gonna switch gears. We're gonna talk about what's left on the market.

21:47

What is of interest? What I

21:49

hope they attack? What I hope they leave

21:51

for later? That's all next here on this episode of

24:05

plus The

24:12

creative market in

24:14

some spots has been relentless

24:16

I look at

24:19

running back Henry's off

24:21

the board Aaron Jones is off the board Josh Jacobs

24:23

off the board say when Mark was off the board

24:25

Tony Pollard's off The board the Andre's was off the

24:27

board Devin single tears off the board Austin Ecklers off

24:30

the board Joe mixing gets traded Zach Baugh's off the

24:32

board Not

24:34

a lot of interest there so much so Miami

24:36

agreed to terms on a one-year 1.2 million dollar

24:38

deal for Savon Akhmet last

24:40

night Which is fine. I

24:42

think Savon's probably a long shot to make the

24:44

roster, but You got to fill

24:46

out an offseason roster regardless. You got to get to

24:48

51 players for the cap purposes That's

24:51

a 1.2 million dollar cap hit until you get

24:53

up over 51 players And

24:57

I like Savon you know a special teams guy Kind

25:02

of a Adequate player

25:04

at a lot of levels for playing the running back

25:06

position not really gonna move the needle for you I

25:09

certainly think he's behind the eight ball to make

25:11

the roster of the Dolphins having anything

25:13

with Jeff Wilson at this

25:15

stage you also have Chris

25:19

Brooks there, so you're potentially looking

25:21

at RB 5 for Savon that

25:23

markets just about done The

25:26

wide receiver markets is

25:28

not a very friendly place to live right

25:30

now in the likes of Gabriel Davis and

25:32

Darnell Mooney are getting 13 million dollars per

25:34

year and Kendrick Bourne's getting

25:36

11 million dollars per year. I'm

25:39

generally not interested in picking up what you're

25:41

putting down I've seen it referred

25:43

a couple places that Miami

25:46

may be working towards a reunion with Braxton Barrios

25:48

have you from a special teams perspective? You could

25:50

do worse than that you do much worse than

25:52

that Whatever Miami's return

25:54

situation was in 2022 comes to mind,

25:57

but you certainly want an upgrade for your third wide receiver

26:00

You don't want to come into 2024 with that being the

26:02

case Tight

26:05

end is done. Miami's probably done in that

26:07

market anyway So much of the Gosecki sign

26:09

with since or agreed to terms with Cincinnati

26:11

But the top names for fans Schultz Henry

26:13

they're off the board Disley goes

26:15

to the Chargers Colby Parkinson goes to the Rams

26:18

Austin Hoopers off the board You're

26:20

looking at Gerald Edwards off the board or Smith's

26:22

off the board It's like Harrison Bryant is probably

26:24

the best available tight end currently still out there

26:27

based off of at least what I've seen Maybe

26:29

he signed somewhere to The

26:32

tackle market hasn't really moved at all You

26:36

have a lot of veteran tackles that are

26:38

still out there, maybe you're in this staring

26:40

contest trying to pick up

26:42

some some added

26:45

value for free agent offers Kendall

26:48

Lamb's been being out there is certainly still a name that

26:50

comes to mind for Miami If

26:53

you lost out on on Kendall lamb George

26:57

Fant is potentially a player who's had to

26:59

start a couple different spots There's not necessarily

27:01

an ideal preferred starter going into seasons between

27:04

the Jets and the Texans the last couple

27:06

years I could have a

27:08

market there for him. He played this past year on

27:10

a one year three million dollar deal So

27:12

that's Or

27:16

projected for a one year three million dollar deal. That's kind of where My

27:20

eyes go is a backup plan to

27:22

Ken the land But again, you're gonna need an adequate

27:24

third tackle and they have not done that yet. So

27:26

I have eyes there The

27:29

interior offensive line market Just

27:33

brutal Everybody's

27:36

off the board like Kevin Zitler and Connor

27:38

Williams are the two notable names Most

27:40

notable names that are probably still out there Cody

27:43

White hair is a June 1st or

27:45

a cut From earlier in the spring

27:48

is still out there As

27:50

his Lakin Tomlinson as a cut and Brian Allen

27:52

as a cut so you have a

27:55

number of different players who? Would

27:57

not impact your compensatory formula that

28:00

at least have

28:03

playing experience. If

28:05

you grabbed one, I wouldn't be mad about it,

28:07

but I also wouldn't feel like you're really solved

28:09

upgrading either any of your spots that you need.

28:12

And you probably need both guard spots. You wanna

28:14

get addressed. So that's all

28:16

my wish list. Nothing's on my wish

28:19

list more than interior defensive line, even though that

28:21

it's kind of becoming a bit of a bloodbath

28:23

as well as far as what's available out there.

28:26

It's really Zach's sealant right now. Wilkins

28:28

obviously goes to the Raiders. Chris

28:31

Jones back to Kansas City on a monster contract.

28:33

Matt Abouik's off the board. Leonard

28:35

Williams is off the board. He went

28:37

back to Seattle. Daiquan Jones, the Buffalo.

28:39

Danico Autry to Houston. Justin Jones to

28:41

the Cardinals. Grover Stewart goes back to

28:43

the Colts. Fletcher Cox retires. Shelby Harris

28:45

back to the Browns. Folly

28:49

Fattukasi gone. Rayquan Davis signs a two year

28:51

$14 million contract with the Colts to which

28:53

I say Seilavi, best elected with that. Indy,

28:55

I don't know where you're gonna play him,

28:57

but Grover Stewart's already your nose tackle. You

29:00

know, play him in the B gap. Okay.

29:04

Kin law's off the board on a one year, like $9

29:06

million contract with the Jets. Names

29:10

that are still out there. Eric Armstead

29:12

is a cut from the 49ers.

29:15

The question and the trick for Miami would be making

29:18

the dollars work there. And I don't know

29:20

how easy that's gonna be based

29:22

on if you're in the

29:24

stratosphere of Leonard Williams and

29:27

DJ Reader and Matt Abouik. And Matt

29:29

Abouik gets 19 per and four years 96. So

29:37

he gets 24 per, excuse me, not

29:39

a math guy. That's what we

29:42

try to put out there. Leonard Williams gets 21 and a

29:44

half per. If

29:46

Armstead's in that stratosphere, kind

29:49

of expect he's gonna land in the same dollars. So

29:53

then you're on to, okay, Jonathan Hankins,

29:55

is that a meaningful player? Even

29:57

though there's gonna be a low snap guy. Lawrence.

30:00

potentially from New England is out there as a cut.

30:03

Mind me because of the Rayquon Davis signing though

30:05

does have a. Compensatory

30:08

free agent qualifying player to play

30:10

with to sign that would not

30:13

impact either Robert Hunt or Christian Wilkins

30:15

is Compensatory Picture 2025. So

30:17

that's nice to know that you have in your back pocket. Sheldon

30:20

Rankin's maybe from Houston, a

30:24

penetration type player might make some sense but

30:27

again it's your dollars have to

30:29

get aligned. And I

30:31

don't know that Miami's gonna have a lot

30:33

of grace there until we know what the

30:36

situation was with Toronto Armstead's contract and

30:38

then if they decide to restructure either

30:40

Tyree Kill or Bradley Chill. The

30:45

Edge Group I think with Shaq Barrett you probably

30:47

leave that well enough alone for now unless it's

30:49

a one year $2 million type

30:51

player or like

30:53

a low investment player. I

30:55

think linebackers probably done when you consider David

30:57

Long, Jordan Brooks, Anthony Walker, Duke Riley currently

31:00

and then Channing Tindall. You got five backers

31:02

on the roster right now that you feel

31:04

like have a viable argument to make the

31:06

53. So I'd

31:08

leave that well enough alone. Corner,

31:11

I think

31:13

you have a need for and I still think you have a need

31:15

at safety. Corner

31:19

is just kind of an awkward market

31:21

as far as where the talent

31:24

is available hasn't really moved as far

31:26

as Stefan Gilmore and Xavier Howard are still out

31:28

there, Steven Nelson and Kendall Fuller are still out

31:30

there, Awuzia came off the board

31:33

to the Titans, Dante Jackson gets traded

31:36

from the Panthers to the Steelers, Sean

31:38

Mayford Bunting goes to Arizona. So

31:41

you have some need for movement I

31:43

think at the top of the market before you get

31:45

into a lot of the guys that are gonna have

31:47

appetites to sign shorter term smaller deals and

31:50

then safety Xavier

31:52

McKinney signs a big contract. Troncy

31:55

Garner Johnson came off the board yesterday three

31:57

for 33 to Philadelphia. lot

32:00

of names available here whether it's

32:03

Deshaun Elliott or otherwise I would

32:06

love to see them end up finding an

32:09

agreement for somebody as a third

32:11

safety just for maximum flexibility in that room

32:13

feeling like you're not boxing to a corner

32:15

so there's some heavy work to do

32:17

on the interior of the lines on both sides of the line

32:19

of scrimmage but I think you're

32:21

kind of into ancillary players for most

32:24

of the other spots it's

32:27

safety, corner, edge,

32:32

offensive tackle, wide

32:34

receiver like those are those are

32:36

mostly ancillary you have your

32:38

foundational players and it's

32:40

how do you attack the rest of the process to find the

32:42

best players to sprinkle in a month. So

32:46

you're kind of narrowing in your scope a little bit

32:48

which is a good place to be but means there's

32:50

more work to be done. We'll
