00:00So let's take a look at the Cowboys upcoming free agent. So when you look at this list,
00:19if you go by their previous average annual value and you look at where they've been,
00:25Dallas is outside of their specialists, their punter, Brian anger, who I imagine will be
00:28back. Maybe not special teams. Coach is changing. Something could always change, but when you
00:32go down the list, it's going to take a while before I think you go, that guy's definitely
00:37back. So top guy on this list that's free this year, Brandon cooks. We want him back
00:43or no, this is probably he's 31 years old. Not really. He had a knee issue. Never really
00:48able to, to get the most out of him. I think he's gone. Zack Martin. I got, I got the sense
00:55when we were out there talking to him, which we just referenced with a Matt Pittman meat
00:59church.
01:00I got the sense of him. He, he is very much considering still playing, but it doesn't
01:03sound like it'll be here in Dallas. Yeah. I mean, if he's a hundred percent healthy,
01:08like what is he? Exactly. I think he's, I think at this point he's, there was a moment
01:13in the Detroit game. He punched himself in the helmet, which is what offensive linemen
01:17do when, if they have a really bad missed assignment, they'll punch themselves in the
01:20helmet. It's the first time I'd seen Zack Martin punch himself on tape and he did it
01:24twice in one game. And I was like, yeah, man, that's a different guy. The big sit
01:28down discussion, in my opinion, besides money and resigning and all that has to be how much
01:32was last year injury, how much was last year injury and how much was last year decline
01:36right now would lean towards decline and replace big fella.
01:42And I think we'll, we'll hear a lot about that. So I'm just going to run down some and
01:44what would be your decision on that? It's time to walk away. He's, he's just not the
01:48same player anymore. I love him, but he's older than Tyron Smith. He got drafted four
01:53years after Tyron Smith. He's older than him. Like that, that tells you where he's
01:57at in his career, running down some of the list of names. Stop me. When you hear somebody
02:00that you think is returning next year, we've gone Brandon Cook, Zach Warren, Demarcus Lawrence.
02:05No, probably out Trey Lance. Probably not.
