| 0:00.0 | How important is that I know Romeo Quarra's got another year. |
| 0:03.5 | I mean, signed a three year deal, played a couple of games, had the torn Achilles, came back a second half of this season. |
| 0:12.1 | Do you think he's a guy that they they've targeted is, hey, we're going to let him play out as through his third year or could they save money and and either go in the draft, get another edge guy, you know, go to free agency, get an edge guy. |
| 0:28.0 | That's maybe a little bit healthier. Is he a guy that you think they'll bring back or will be he will he be a cap savings? |
| 0:35.8 | I that'll be interesting because I think they have a decision to make with him and Charles Harris. |
| 0:43.9 | Yeah, I think that was also winner of the last year was deal. |
| 0:47.2 | Yes, and I think that one of those guys is back and I don't think one of one of them is gone. |
| 0:52.0 | Like I just you just get that feeling, right? It's almost a starting to get a little bit of a busy room there. |
| 0:58.1 | We know we got eight and one one side. If you bring back Kaminsky, he plays D N in the run game Romeo. |
| 1:04.6 | We know James Houston, you know, hopefully he keeps developing as a pass rush third down type guy. |
| 1:10.4 | But you know, do you really have room for all these guys, especially at the price tag, right? |
| 1:15.2 | We know Romeo's due to make almost 15 Charles Harris is right around eight. |
| 1:20.2 | If you cut Harris, you're saving another four. If you cut Romeo, you know, you're saving about seven. |
| 1:26.9 | So you're going to free up some money either way. I think they. |
| 1:33.2 | If I had to pick right now, I would say, you know, ride with Romeo for one more year. |
| 1:40.5 | Just because I think he brings more as a complete defensive end than Charles Harris does. |
| 1:45.4 | Charles Harris has kind of been that gadget type third down guy. |
| 1:49.0 | And that's we know James Houston looked pretty damn good in that role. |
| 1:52.5 | So I would I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of either of those two. |
| 1:57.1 | But you know, obviously if I had to lean one way, I would say, I think Romeo brings more to the team than than what we saw. |
| 2:04.4 | Charles Harris do, especially last year and look, some guys get injured. |
| 2:07.2 | It's not always their fault. Just is the is what it is. |
