Marquez, Valdez scantling. A four-year veteran who has never
caught more than 38 passes. And who never has generated more
than six hundred. Ninety yards,
his high and touchdowns with six
in 2020. He gets reportedly
and we need to put that in air quotes and asterisks,
reportedly three years, 30 million dollars.
That's another one that I want to see. And that's one that
I think Juju. To see way I did one year 3.25 with this
gigantic incentive package. And this guy,
this mvs
who who never had more than six hundred. Ninety yards playing
with Aaron Rodgers. He's getting
10 a year.
So we'll see. Yeah, we'll see what the mvs deal looks like.
There's chance. There's a chance. There's all sorts of
of BS flying around. The NFL with these contracts has month
Peter.
Yeah, I you know look a Mike. Have you
Noticed this year every time, somebody signs
every time. Somebody signs
the first 10 tweets are all my God. What a great signing it.
Marquez Valdez scantling. Ah, he's gonna
he's gonna blow up in Kansas City all but yeah,
he's gonna get so many chances. Now that he's away from here.
He's going to be great.
I mean the only contract, Mike
what's the only contract it?
And criticized in the last week and a half.
I'll tell you Cristian Kirk.
That's it. Yes, the only contracted people say, oh, what
a stupid contract given that guy 17 million a year. And
look. I'm not praising. The contract will see
didn't seem very smart to me. But again,
we'll see. Maybe he becomes
the,
you know, the sort of the, Swiss army knife of
the Jacksonville offense. The way Debo Samuel was in San
Francisco. I don't know. We'll see,
but every other signing has been. Oh, my gut. I mean, I'll
make this prediction every team in the NFL. This year is going
to win more than 12 games
and be active on February 1st. Chasing the Super Bowl all 32
teams. That's how great they've all done in free agency. But,
you know, Peter, it's funny. You say that because
well, but it's the psychology
of the news breaking wing
of NFL.
And it's The Usual Suspects. God bless you. It's The Usual
Suspects every year
and excuse me. In order to bless you again,
in order to be in position
to get that text from the agents.
You have to be willing
to kind of chip away a little piece of your soul. One tweeted
a time
and buy into that great contract. Oh, great contract.
Great job by the agents, great job by because if you don't,
you don't get those texts. So we see the flood of tweets
from all the people who have been
just clamoring for three weeks now. Gimme gimme, gimme gimme.
Gimme. Gimme. Gimme this. Let me, let me be, let me be
the one who gets the Tweet posted 26 seconds before. Are
the other guy does
and they all throw in that useless? Second sentence
that praises the deal
because you got to do that part of the
part of part of the game.
You got to do that
to be on the speed dial to be in the group chat,
when the agent, sends out the information because they only
want people who are going to say, here's what the deal is.
And I'm not going to breathe a word, of the fact that there
may be some BS, cooked into the back end, and it's a great
deal,
and our job, my role are raw. Roll, I don't know. I don't
know how much you care about it. But one of the things I do
is I say, hey
folks. Come on. Let's peel this back. Let's be smart. Let's
understand how this works. We've all got a role in this
but that's that's a bizarre aspect of it where you are
voluntarily.
Pushing the BS.
And anyone who gets it kind of knows it and we're kind of okay
with it. It's just make sure you understand what it is.
It is what it is.
And what it is is this machine ain't that hyping these deals
and they've all been hyped.
And as you said the only one that even
was a word breathed of being overpaid was Cristian Kirk,
And you know
what? That and look, we'll talk about the Sean Watson at some
point in the show, obviously,
but it really is mindful of that.
You know, I and again I'm not holding my hand up here and
saying,
oh my God, I, you know, I'm one of the only guys who was
critical of this of this deal, but the put you are.
But you are you hold your hand up and say it, I am.
But the point is,
my point is not to say, hey, look at me.
My point is to say
how in the world
are there. Not more people looking at
this deal skeptically and with a jaundiced eye and saying, why
in the world
did the Cleveland Browns
voluntarily by 80 million dollars, 80
million dollars.
Give a man with 22, civil cases hanging over his head.
How do they voluntarily
do that? Knowing that his
immediate future over the next year? And maybe even two
could be subject to the legal process and not being able to
play football for part of that time. I just, I simply don't
understand it. I don't I don't get it.
