| 0:00.0 | By the way, if I didn't mention this on the show yet, last night, Cincinnati and the Eagles in the preseason game, Cincinnati basically played their starters for the first quarter, and they did a really good job offensively. |
| 0:15.1 | Joe Burrow was 9 of 10 for two touchdowns. Jamar Chase, four catches 77 yards in a touchdown. |
| 0:22.8 | But Tanner McKee, the backup quarterback in Philadelphia, started against Cincinnati's starting defense and shredded |
| 0:30.8 | them in a half, 20 of 25, 252, and two touchdowns for Tanner McKee, sixth round pick out of Stanford back in the |
| 0:41.9 | 2020 draft. |
| 0:43.8 | All right. |
| 0:44.6 | I think we now have at least, you know, believe what you want to believe. |
| 0:50.0 | But let's just say that Jeremy Fowler, Ben's follow-up, that it's 25 Washington offered Terry |
| 0:57.8 | McLaren, and that Terry's asking for 33 a year. Easiest way to kind of without the guaranteed |
| 1:04.0 | money, the Delta's $8 million, $25,033. If you think Washington's offer was lowball offer, a low ballish offer, |

| 1:28.9 | They think he's top 13, 15 kind of a receiver in the league, or maybe like number 10 or 11 |
| 1:37.8 | based on salary structure, but his age, they backed it up a little bit, but, you know, or it's a better situation for them, |
| 1:49.3 | contract flexibility, not necessarily cap flexibility, but in terms of paying as you go to pay less |
| 1:56.3 | over the next two years without a contract extension and not have to come out of pocket with it right |
| 2:01.4 | now. Maybe that's it. You know, they do have flexibility. He's got to play. They've got the tag they can |
| 2:07.8 | use next year. Why? If you think it's a low ball offer, $25 million to Terry, why do you think |
| 2:14.4 | they did it? I think it's a combination of what they really believe he's worth and maybe a desire to not |
| 2:25.1 | give him a contract extension, that playing out the final year of his deal and then having |
| 2:30.8 | the tag as a way they can go next year is cheaper and it is much better from a |
| 2:37.3 | cash flow standpoint. Skip in D.C. Go ahead. First of all, do you think 20, because I don't know |
