| 0:00.0 | Hey, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew Brand. I'm Andrew Brand. |
| 0:04.4 | That music is the one and only Sam Brand. My son, Neon Blooming, is the track. And you are here for a |
| 0:11.4 | Brant's Rants edition of the Business of Sports. As you know, big trade in the NFL, that's what I'll get to right away on the Rants. |
| 0:18.5 | A lot of mis-onings about CAP when a about cap when a trade like that happens and the concept |
| 0:25.4 | of dead cap money. |
| 0:26.8 | Now, I talk about it a lot. |
| 0:28.3 | People ask me about it a lot. |
| 0:29.5 | What I thought I'd do is get into a little explanation of it after I talk about the |
| 0:33.4 | trade generally. |
| 0:35.0 | Okay. |
| 0:35.8 | So we're going to do a rant about the Stafford and Gau trade in the NFL, |

A lot has changed with contracts of quarterbacks during that time. Stafford was one of the |
| 1:31.0 | or the last bonus baby, him along with San Bradford, where these massive number one contracts came out. |
| 1:37.9 | In fact, number one paid quarterbacks, I'm sorry, number one drafted quarterbacks were one of the, some of the most highest paid players in the league, |
| 1:46.4 | back before the new CBA took a haircut to top pick pay, which is very interesting because you have Matthew Stafford is going to be, no matter what happens, |
| 1:56.1 | a real Hall of Fame or in the business of football because of that rookie contract, because of the extensions they've done, because of the great job that Tom Condon has done in his contracts. |
| 2:05.7 | And here we are, Matthew Stafford, I think, has like $230 million and the top earners are at like |
