00:00But we just had breaking news from Ian Rappaport.
00:03This one I'm curious about.
00:06Rap sheet sources.
00:07The Packers have had trade conversations
00:10centered around star cornerback Jair Alexander,
00:14and they're open to moving him for the right price.
00:16Alexander still just 28 and a two time pro bowler
00:19is considered to be the most decorated cornerback available.
00:23I'm going to pull up the contract details here, B,
00:26but are you surprised by this one?
00:29I mean, yeah, he's a hell of a player.
00:32I don't think he was a problem for him unless they just don't want to
00:36get into that money way, maybe are commanding soon.
00:41Well, I don't I am curious.
00:45So like we see a lot of times, there's no guarantees on the on the deal left.
00:49Right. That's the problem.
00:50He got eight mil last year, but he just signed a four year extension.
00:56Um, I think he was drafted in 18, I think.
01:03So he signed this extension.
01:06His cap number is 25 mil.
01:09But there's no guarantee attached to it.
01:12Still, if if you release him with a post June one designation,
01:16you do get a pretty big cap savings.
01:20This this strikes me kind of similarly to
01:24what surprises me about the Max Crosby contract.
01:28They have not only one year with no guaranteed money left on it.
01:31They have two years with no guaranteed money left on these things.
01:34Yeah. And if they don't do anything this year,
01:36they will definitely have to do something next year.
01:38Well, dude, I think when you are a Jair Alexander or Max
01:42Crosby, who are among the best in the league at that position,
01:46maybe not the best, but among the best.
01:50I don't think you're playing with no guarantees.
01:52Now, Alexander's been hurt the last two years.
01:54That is dramatically impacted this.
01:56Right. He's played two games.
01:58He's played 14 games over the last two seasons.
02:01So maybe Green Bay is just looking as a math equation like, listen, dude,
02:05if you're going to be hurt all the time and there's no guarantees,
02:08it might be time for us to get off this thing.
02:11I personally, looking at this from a Washington perspective,
02:16don't think the commanders get involved.
02:19They just spent a lot of draft capital to get a corner.
02:23I don't see it happening again.
02:25Do you agree? Yeah, I do.
02:29I think they know that they got to go up and get up front better.
02:34Yeah, it might make the guys behind even better
02:37than what they what they shown they could be.
02:39Yeah, man, I think for for Washington,
02:43you got to get better in the trenches and you just spent
02:47a bunch of draft capital to get a stud corner.
02:49I don't I don't think you're looking to do that again.
