00:00 Like, is it weird to just say Russ and the Steelers and maybe they mix?
00:03 No, I don't. I don't think so.
00:06 I mean, veteran guy, I feel like he had some success towards the end of the year
00:10 in in Denver, and I think he's going he would go to an arguably
00:15 more talented offense with some better weapons.
00:18 So I think from a football perspective, it's not the craziest idea in the world.
00:22 I'm not really sure.
00:24 I like I don't think I have a good idea of how the contract situation works.
00:28 Like, I think he's guaranteed 30 million over the next three years.
00:32 And then the Broncos eat 86 million dollars in dead money.
00:37 So maybe that goes to Russ.
00:39 I don't know, but I think it's I think up front.
00:41 It's at least 30 million.
00:43 Right. But just like I mean, it was 80 million 86 million dollars of I think
00:49 a 200 and it was like close to a 300 million dollar contract, right?
00:53 Like how I don't know.
00:55 That's it's just.
00:57 I don't know.
00:58 The price tag does look a little hefty, but I mean, that's what you
01:02 play pay for like premium quarterback play, especially when you're a
01:06 when you have a veteran like this is Russ still the same guy?
01:10 Like I don't I kind of don't know what to believe about Russ at this
01:13 point, you know, like is he 2022 Russ where he just is bad.
01:18 Is he like over the hill or is he kind of second half of 2023 Russ?
01:22 I'm not really sure yet, but I don't know.
01:26 I feel like he could do well in Pittsburgh.
01:27 It's it's not the worst quarterback idea.
01:30 We've we've seen thrown out this offseason, but I just yeah, I I guess
01:37 the football part of it.
01:38 I'm more on board with it than I was.
01:41 I think when I first kind of heard the idea of rest of Pittsburgh being
01:44 floated, I'll put it that way.
01:45 When Chad Johnson tosses it out there and you go, all right, well, it's
01:48 a done deal.
01:48 Your brain immediately starts going.
01:50 And now let's be let's break this down here for a second.
01:54 I agree.
01:55 I think that once you get into the football side of it, it's not a bad move.
