00:00It was a much chillier clip about a month ago when he was talking, he said, look, whether
00:20it's here or somewhere else, you know, uh, and whenever he's been asked about contract
00:24negotiations, I'll say, ah, yeah, not, not much, but I, I let, you know, my agents handle
00:28that and that's what we, we let happen.
00:31This one felt much more optimistic.
00:33It was still ultimately the political non-answer from Dak, but I think you can infer certain
00:41things from it.
00:42He said there have been discussions.
00:44That's progress right there.
00:45That's the Jerry drop.
00:46That's improvement.
00:47Uh, and then the other aspect of that is, I think when he says the money's going to
00:50take care of itself, I don't think it's a, it's meant to intimidate no or threaten,
00:57but it's a reality where he's saying that money is going to be there.
01:01It's just, it will take care of itself in terms of who's going to give it to me, but
01:04the money's going to be there.
01:05I will get the money for my services.
01:07It'll put me where I'm going to be among the quarterback rankings, but whether it's from
01:11Dallas or not, that remains to be seen, but the money itself will be taken care of.
01:14It's just a matter of where's it coming from.
01:16Yeah.
01:17Are you, I mean, broadest is at the point now where he thinks it's more likely than
01:20not that Dak doesn't get the contract here with the Cowboys.
01:23Are you guys in a similar spot?
01:25Yeah.
01:27He was at 50, 50 and now I think he's, I think he's like 60, 40 decks gone.
01:32I think it's a coin flip.
01:33Whoa.
01:34I think it's a coin flip if you're calling the side that it was up, maybe it leans 50.8%.
01:38What do the Cowboys think it is?
01:42I don't know because I think that they've hit a period where I think they felt like
01:48for a long time they were going to be able to lean on, he wants to be a Cowboy.
01:53He loves being a Cowboy.
01:54And so ultimately he will blink.
01:57And so I think they felt like they had that little bit of wiggle room and I think they've
02:00in the last couple of months started to hit the reality of he doesn't feel like he needs
02:07us.
02:08He's not blinking.
02:09He doesn't feel like he needs us the same way.
02:10I'll tell you this.
02:11If the Cowboys, I am not at 50, 50, I am at like 85% that he returns 90% which is up from
02:18where you were earlier this spring, earlier this spring, I think he said 70, 30.
02:21Oh, I have no idea.
02:22I don't listen to a word I say.
02:25I think Archer and Meshota both when we've asked them during this offseason have both
02:29said he's back, but it was a slight one.
02:32It was like 55, 45, 60, 40.
02:35If I was in the Cowboys front office and I had him coming back at less than 60%, I am
02:44a thousand percent trading him right now.
