Have videos up there from the Combine and a video up there about Tyler Biotis. I'm going to talk about in a minute. Those are like 45 seconds to a minute long. long so videos just to kind of get you up, caught up on the news, et cetera, and some analysis. Also, I will have a story about the commanders and how one school happens to be on my alma mater, but one school has four guys who could fill a need for the commanders at number seven. Doesn't mean they're all going to make sense when the draft hits. Doesn't mean that they're all going to be there. A few of them will probably be gone. And some of them may not make sense at that time. But right now, they all play positions of need for Washington. So I talked to Dan Quinn about some of these guys. Had some interesting comments about a few of them in particular. So stay tuned for that. And then later in the week, I will be having something on how about the commander's free agent approach this year and how it's kind of different than the last couple of years.

So stay tuned for all of that.

In a minute, I'll be joined by Nikki Javala from the athletic as we go over just coming back from the combine,

things that you learn about them but also looking forward

to free agency just some approaches that they can take should take will take all that good stuff so

stay tuned for that so before i get there just a couple things one let's go back to tyler beada so

the other day we when there was a mission, shoot, when it was, when it initially

happened, I had just finished the podcast. So I had to record another one. And in between the

first one and the one I did, there was another one that was, I didn't realize my laptop wasn't

plugged in and the battery went dead just as I was finishing up. So I had to do a third one. Anyways, but the bottom line is, after that, after that recording that, then you kind of learn a bookcase war about why they cut the out. So I still go back to if they felt he was playing well, he would still be on the roster, period, bottom line. This is not about the salary cap at all and there has not been a post

June 1st designation that's nothing I have not been told that have not heard that

where people are getting I think what you have to realize then you hear the

8.3 million it's about cash available has nothing to do with the cap so there's

what he was due 8.3.3 million in cash this year.

They can now take that money and use that toward another signing,

whether it's part of the bonus, whatever it is.
