Could the Pats pivot from Aiyuk to potentially another WR? Wiggy: "Call up Cincinnati and ask about Ja'Marr Chase. Call up Dallas and ask about CeeDee Lamb." Would you deal a 1st rounder for a proven WR?

00:00you take that money and give more to Brandon Ayoub?
00:04All right, well, I don't think you're going to have the opportunity to give it to Brandon Ayoub.
00:10Take that approach. I was telling Shyam this off the air. Take that approach and call up Cincinnati
00:16and ask about Jamah Chase and T. Higgins and call up Dallas and ask about C.D. Lamb. Say,
00:21hey, listen, would you want our first round pick? And guess what? We're willing to pay
00:25this receiver four years, $120 million plus, $130 million.
00:30Well, C.D. Lamb is going to want more than that.
00:32Then give it to him.
00:33Well, yeah, if you're willing to make Ayoub a top five paid receiver,
00:37make C.D. Lamb the number one highest paid receiver. It's that easy. I would do that
00:4110 times out of 10. It's not even hard.
00:43Well, but then you're back to Wiggy's lead this morning,
00:47which is those who don't want to part with a first round pick.
00:50That's just stupid.
00:51Which is going to be, you know, I hope it isn't, but it's going to be a high pick.
00:56If you were to ever get a first round pick that ended up being C.D. Lamb, you'd be thrilled to
01:02pieces like that. Use the first round pick to get the guy who's already proven he is that.
01:07Greg, I'm going to compliment Bill Belichick.
01:11The reason why you don't make public your pursuit of superstars is for this very example,
01:18because now the world sees that you're not a destination.
01:22If you do this behind the scenes, then there may be some, you know, whispers out there,
01:27but you don't have this open pursuit and then open statement saying you're no longer in pursuit
01:33because the guy didn't want to come here in the first place.
01:35Right. And you've already used a lot of excuses on why the deal didn't happen. Like you already
01:41used the the clam chowder was not good. Right. Already used the girlfriend didn't want to be
01:47here. Correct. I mean, force people into a corner. If you've got to go above and beyond
01:53to pay Brandon, I you do it. Get off from one hundred and thirty million.
01:57Godfather offers baby all over the place.
02:00And I don't. And listen, this just shows me when I when I hear people say, well,
02:05you're giving up a high draft pick. It just shows me their ignorance and they don't know
02:11what the hell they're talking about. Like my man, Fred Sanford said, you big dummy, if you.
