Well, it sounds like the Patriots may be the second entity to drop Steph Diggs, like Cardi B. did sooner than later.

Yeah, she was on tour basically ishing all over him.

But I just want you to understand, and I want to be as clear as possible on where I'm coming from.

If you do not replace Steph Dix, this is a major, major mistake.

The fact that you're even saying this to him, I think is a major mistake because he's going to become disgruntled is what you're saying

there's always that risk or you're giving him the opportunity to look elsewhere you're

that's the other thing but i would still look at it i would still look at it like this you know

what the money is you can always finagle the bagel. Why can't you have A.J. Brown and Steph Diggs. People talk about it all the time. This is a major mistake. You wrote your point down. I did. And the reason why I think it's AJ Brown or bust when it comes to, if you're going to get rid of Steph Diggs, it's got to be AJ Brown or nothing else matters. Because you're also dealing with a head coach and Mike Vrable that's not like other head coaches. He got rid of so many players, veteran players in this locker room going into his first season that we were all scratching our heads. Like, that's a bad idea. Why do you do that? Why do you do that? It's a specific player he's looking for that's

not just like, you can't just look at his stats from the last year. And so I think that cuts down the list. To me, it's A.J. Brown or nobody else. Like, I don't know how all these other guys that Shimes bringing up or Curtis is bringing up would fit in when it comes to how Mike Vrable runs this team. So I don't think that you just have your pick of the litter when it comes to guys that have good stats because he picks such specific individuals. Everybody thought Steph Diggs was going to be a bad idea going into this season. But he's the one deciding this, right? I don't think that this leak is coming from Mike Rabel. No, no, no, but Mike Rable will be deciding if Diggs is here or not. Well, I mean, I think it's Robert Kraft at the end of the day if he wants to pay. I believe that Mike Rable has control, and he has a budget, and that budget is set by Kraft. But if Mike Rable thought he was a great ad for the locker room and thought he'd continue to be that way, he'd be here. And I also look at if there is a budget, so you're going to get rid of one guy and you're

going to pay another guy more?

Right, because A.J. Brown's a better player than Jeff Day. And A.J. Brown's going to cost more. So you're like, all right, well, we're going to, we're willing to pick up whatever that cap number for AJ Brown is, I can find there for you.

Well, it's probably like 26 or 27 or something, isn't it?

26.4, I believe.

Is that what it is?

But all the guarantees are on Philly.

The trading team is the one that eats the bill for the guaranteed money.

So you're willing to pick that up, you know, obviously because you feel like

AJ Brown is a better player.

But until you know that you can get that done... Do you think it's close? What do you mean? AJ Brown and Steph Diggs? No. I think AJ Brown's a better player. Right. But you said if you feel that way. I feel like everybody would feel that way. No, no, no. I said if you can get it done. There's no guarantee you can get it done. Until we know Philly for sure is like, all right, and are you willing to give up a second round pick for A.J. Brown. Well, aren't you going to have to be when you look at the bills? Like, the bills have to be all in on him, right? I think there's a lot of teams that are probably all in on A.J. Brown.

The bills, the Courtney brought up the Chiefs.

Who was the other team that we potentially was looking for, a wide receiver that we were talking about?

Chiefs?
