00:00Speaking of Tyree kill he has a new contract RJ choppy or saw man. This is the or does
00:20he it's the weirdest because it's the same amount of money right ever see if we're not
00:24the same amount of money 30 million a year. It is the same contract. They've just guaranteed
00:28more of the deal. That's all they've done. They didn't add years to anything else. It's
00:32just hey, you have 60 million left. That's total guaranteed on your 90 million dollar
00:37deal. We're going to guarantee up another 15 million and the way this is reported yesterday
00:43or over the weekend from and look, we all have it. This is not a criticism. So don't
00:48mistake it. It's a it's just an accounting trick to free up cap space. No, it's not even
00:54to free up cap space. It's just to do him a solid. Oh, it's just it's to say it's well
00:59and because so the biggest sticking point in CD lambs deal right now that we've heard
01:02is guaranteed money. This is bringing him closer to hey over the value of your contract.
01:09Now you're equal to Justin Jefferson and guaranteed money for for Tyreek pretty much. Yeah, it's
01:14all it's off by I think like it's definitely passed in total fully guaranteed potential
01:20guarantees. It's right there with Jefferson now, but he's passed him and fully guaranteed
01:24money. So this essentially brings Tyree kills deal to 106 million fully guaranteed over
01:32the life of his contract because they've just guaranteed more of it. What's odd about this
01:37and the way it was being presented nationally was hey, this is a light like as a groundbreaking
01:43contract where somebody said this is the first time this is the most money ever guaranteed
01:48in the middle of a deal without years being added to it. Yeah, it's like boy that sounds
01:53like a big favor to Drew Rosenhaus is like Rosenhaus is saying this is the way I want
01:57you to frame and again, I don't this is not me being critical because there's that exists
02:03you have these relationships you do people solids and you're reporting things like that
02:06like I get that but it sounded more like a solid because to me I was like, I don't understand
02:11the dolphins were not walking away from Tyree kill in the next three years. No, no like
02:16is it isn't their owner known as kind of a kind of a jerk? Yeah, I mean Steven Ross
02:23like he has been in the past but this to me is like this is a this is a good move by him
02:28like this is not something that you would hear him do well who is a like give me a player
02:33that there's no give me a player on the Cowboys right now that you'd say regardless of there's
02:38no way you're cutting their contract. Throw me Tyler Smith. Tyler Smith's not going anywhere
02:45for the next three years, right? So it's like we've gone ahead and we've we've not
02:48even given him more money. We've just guaranteed it. It's like okay. Well, what are you guaranteeing?
02:53He wasn't going anywhere like like to me. It seems like a little bit of a phony. Yeah,
02:57I mean, I guess you could say this is a you know, like if Tyreek rips up his knee and
03:00there's Achilles and his career is over. We'll see the only thing it's injury protection.
03:04The only thing there is I think there are injury guarantee like I think his contract
03:08was already guaranteed for injury. So this just is guaranteed for other factors. Now
03:12does Tyreek Hill anticipate that or anticipate? Does he anticipate that he is a point at
03:17some point? He's going to start having a decline in terms of his speed because he's 30 now
03:23and speed is typically one of the things that goes quicker and he's going to lose that advantage.
03:27He's at the age where you lose it. Yeah, you lose that and then you know, you're still
03:31fast but you lose that quickness. Yeah, and maybe that and maybe that's what part of this
03:35is about for him is I don't know when my declines coming. I want this guaranteed and they said,
03:38Okay, let's do it. It'll be interesting to see how it impacts CDs negotiations because
03:43from an average annual value you say Tyreek Hill just got a new deal CD. He's still making
03:4830 million a year. How can you get up to Justin Jefferson's money of Tyreek Hilton the number
03:53one player in football? I might add according to NFL players job. Yeah, we'll get into that
03:57720. We'll get it to it. But CD lamb that gives them that argument on that side. But
04:01if it's truly about the guaranteed money, this hurts the Cowboys because now
