| 0:00.0 | I think that feels like a nice package there. |
| 0:03.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:04.0 | Wow, look at those phones light up. It's Elgin Maz. I'm not the Sports Hub. Yeah, look, I think it was never more evident than in the Super Bowl. When you're up there in the booth and you're calling the game and you're looking down at it, you're going, where is Stefan Diggs? Why is he just totally being blanked out of this football game? And look, if your cap number |
| 0:21.1 | is about the balloon to $26 million and you're going to turn 33 in the middle of the season in the 26th season, those numbers just don't add up. They just don't. And look, I think, look, everyone has said it, and it's pretty obvious. They need a true X. They need a true Z. They need a true number one that can either draw coverage or when it's one-on-one coverage, |
| 0:38.8 | it's an automatic. I'm going to him. |
| 0:40.6 | I'm going to him because he's going to win. There's some guys out there that fit that profile. Some of them will be expensive. Some of them may come in the draft. But I think right now, when you're always trying to maximize return on investment when it comes to player acquisition, Stefan, just now, the return on the investment on the cap dollars that it was going to take, |
| 0:58.8 | it just doesn't match up anymore. |
| 1:00.4 | That's just business in the NFL, and they're going to move on and get someone else. |
| 1:03.9 | Lewis Riddick on ESPN, missing it, making the same mistake everybody makes. |
| 1:09.3 | C cliche. |
| 1:10.6 | Cap hit. Guarantee the money, add on a few years, spread out the proration, and now you've lowered his cap it. You can lower his cap it. He's the easiest thing in the world. It's not the cap it. They don't think he's worth the real money. They might be right. So they need a true X, they need a true number one receiver. |
| 1:28.1 | Okay, fine. |
| 1:30.0 | I guess I would say this. |
| 1:31.2 | If you come back here, our number three, Mark Tendero, |
| 1:33.1 | in for Big Jermary in the Update Studio. |
| 1:35.4 | This dream or this complete fantasy of them signing A.J. Brown and Steph Diggs? Remember someone had that report. Oh, yeah, please. There was no shot of that. That's not even getting, that's not even getting to the league year. That's not even getting to a week before the league year. Right. Now you have neither of them and one just got cut. That was so far from being plausible that it's not even a week away. |
| 2:03.6 | It's a week before they have to make that decision. |
| 2:04.9 | They're not even making that decision. |
| 2:06.1 | Never a chance. |
| 2:09.5 | Which I think would have been the sweet spot. |
| 2:17.2 | You sign Alec Pierce to play over the top of Steph Diggs, who Lewis, you just guarantee his base salary, add on two dummy years, |
| 2:19.7 | and spread it out over the balance of the contract, and you've lowered his cap hit. |
