| 0:35.3 | All right, Rob, let's get this thing started. |
| 0:37.9 | Just came down within the last few hours that Lamar Jackson said that Friday will be the last day he negotiates his new contract. |
| 0:49.1 | If it's not settled by then, which reports are saying it won't be most likely, |
| 0:59.0 | then he will just play the season without a new contract. |
| 1:01.6 | He's getting $23 million this year, |
| 1:05.4 | and he's going to play it without the new contract. |
| 1:13.7 | It's clear, I mean, unless he's just completely being stealth or, you know, secretive about this thing, it's very clear he's not going to sit out, which at this stage of the game I get. |
| 1:19.9 | But yeah, Rob, what are your thoughts on that? |
| 1:23.5 | I mean, I do understand. |
| 1:25.3 | I wouldn't want to get the season's about the start. |

Right, I just think it's one or the other. I'm with you. Right. Lamar wants to win more than anything. He wants the Super Bowl. Yeah. And just negotiating will be a distraction.

| 2:27.1 | And that's real. |
| 2:29.9 | Like he's been hurt and banged up a little bit. |
| 2:33.9 | And that's the danger that you go out there. |
| 2:34.8 | And it's real. |
