00:00Everybody tells me the defense was great without him last year. How badly do they need him? I
00:05Would ask that question of you based on because I'm not as optimistic about the defense as it seems most people are you know?
00:11The meaner kinds of the world is the top five defense best tackling defense in the NFL
00:15And everybody tells me this defense is gonna win games for him keep them in games
00:19Blah blah blah blah blah was the quarterback play in the offense that porked him last year the defense was awesome, right?
00:25You're losing games six nothing in nine three and whatever the hell those scores were
00:29That was all without judan all those games were in the second third
00:33You know three quarters of the season there after he and Gonzalez went down right game four they both go down
00:40So you did all that with theoretically without your two best defensive players in Christian Gonzalez and Matthew judan at the most important positions
00:47For a defense in modern NFL football at 32 are you signing him like are you so he want let's just say he wants
00:5425 million dollars a year that's middle-of-the-road pass rusher money these days middle of the high-end
00:58Road, and he's a high-end pass rusher when he's been healthy correct
01:02Pro bowler right impactful. Yeah, okay, so deep as a player of the year is sack
01:06We're here kind of guy all pro caliber whatever so that's like 25 million. Are you handing him three years 75 million dollars?
01:1546 million dollars guaranteed I
01:18Am NOT you wanna know what I'm doing. I'll tell you what I'm doing. I'm signing in and I'm trading him
01:25Like to your point last year the defense was pretty damn good without you
01:30and if you're on the team, and we're only
01:33Even with you on the team and with a good defense
01:36we're only gonna win four games right and you're not really gonna be part of like you know the future of
01:43Success that we hope to have you know three years realistically three years from now is when you have a chance of you know me
01:50You know making a go at it with a quarterback
01:52That's in his third year receivers that are now kind of you know vested and you know understand
01:58What what's important the defensive turnover that is going to exist next year with all those guys are gonna be gone
02:05He's just not part of it
02:06So even if there's not a ton of value because you're not gonna get a first-round pick for Matthew June on I
02:12Would still just like you know I would just kind of let him go
