00:00Over to you for the possibility of Devontae as we talk about what it would cost
00:08You'd be willing to do it for or just not willing to do it his next year's number
00:14Concerns me because he's not a number one anymore. Oh
00:20Well then you're an idiot
00:24His yards per route were run against man coverage
00:28Just like Brandon Cook's has declined over the last two seasons and Devontae is 31. He led the league in 2020
00:36Last two years. It's gone from 3.06 to 2.0 to 1.66. Not a good trend
00:43His catch rate has gone down from being in the 70s to under 60 percent or 59 percent
00:50Some of that's the quarterback, but also we've seen other quarterback other receivers. I
00:57Mean throughout the history of the league throughout even in recent times still put up big-time numbers with bumps
01:04Andre Johnson just sort of the Hall of Fame
01:06Did he ever have an elite quarterback?
01:08No, different even a good with different era different well different types of receivers
01:12Absolutely, I think different types of elite receivers can work with certain
01:17yeah, quarterback struggles better than others because if you're a
01:21Contested catch guy and you can't even get it in the contested catch area that causes a problem if you're a deep ball guy
01:26But you got Daniel Jones and Daniel Jones doesn't throw the ball very it shifts it
01:30But you know the yards per route runs concerns me a little bit
01:33It's the same thing, you know that with Brandon Cook's you're kind of concerned
01:36It gets what we talked about this in the offseason that he had declined in back-to-back years
01:40And that's generally just not a very good sign and he's 31. Yeah, and at 35 million dollars next year and he's not
01:4735 next year. Is that you said? Yeah, 35 million
01:50That Michael Lombardi agrees with you on tape. By the way, I heard him say no one's saying it but Devante's not the same guy
01:55That's what Lombardi said. I know that you want to agree with your fellow Paisan Paisan, but at 34 31 years old
02:02That's not that's not a knock on Devante. He's just getting old
02:04Yeah, it's just that so I mean I would take him as the number two, but not at 35 million
02:08I I would not take him as my number one
02:10He's like I he's not the same player that he once was but I don't I think he is still a number one receiver
02:16If you need one, like he's still somebody who can produce for you at that level. He's just he's not 10 receiver. Um
02:24Not consistently enough like a minute, but yeah, I think he he has those traits
02:28He's just more on the back end of the top ten
02:30But it's just he's not number one like there was so long where he was clear
02:33That's the best receiver in football and he's not that anymore
02:36So he's still really good that 35 could be redone
02:39Reworked would it be reworked and redone or he's gonna be like no I'm getting 35
02:44Let me see who his agent is so you could you could come to agreement on a pay cut you could come to agreement on
02:50Hey as part of the trade
02:52We're gonna work out an extension to where you're tacking void years on or maybe you give him an extra year
02:57Just to kind of adjust things. I would imagine Dallas would do that
02:59Would you be okay because I'm the I'm the expert at nailing the draft pick round for this compensation
03:06Mm-hmm. Am I insulting you can can I start off by calling you and offering a third?
03:13Yes, I think so is a third too much our J
03:20Is he better than Amari three years ago
03:23Stop
03:27No, hold on a sunk cost
03:29Move forward. We'll get to Amari. What did uh, what did AJ Brown just get traded for?
03:33What are the but the Eagles give up? I'll do a look is Brown the one or his digs
03:38Oh
03:40They malcontent in his early 30s. Yeah, it was digs a sixth and a fifth went for a second
03:47So if you just take the sixth and the fifth off of it, maybe you say Adams for a third, okay?
03:51I think that's about right. I would I would go in that ballpark if I was the Cowboys I'd be like third round pick
03:57I'm not I can't pay him 35 next year. You got to figure that out. But this team
04:02What's that that was Brett AJ went for a one and a he's on his rookie deal
04:08You know and I get ready to hit his prime. All right, so we're all okay
04:12Maybe throwing out a third if the breaking news came to Vontae Adams for a third
