0:00.0	Welcome back to the Adam Schaefter podcast as we get closer and closer to the NFL draft, Christmas and April.
0:16.3	But before we get to the draft, we are going to be joined today by two men who directly impact
0:22.5	the NFC East. One is the president of the Washington commanders, Jason Wright, who presides
0:29.0	over the team that was just sold for a record sum, $6.05 billion as Jason Wright sat in his presidency and watched this process unfold around his football
0:41.9	team. He will detail what that has been like. And then we'll be joined by the quarterback of the
0:47.8	Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott, as he looks ahead to the upcoming 2023 season. And it's fitting today that we're
0:56.4	joined by Jason Wright because maybe the two most malign franchises in all of football, both

1:45.8	their team leader, arguably the best player on their team, Pro Bowl Safety Buda Baker, announces that
1:52.3	he wants to be traded, which is a trade, by the way, that he requested to be made in February. February.
2:00.0	Before there was a former employee in their front office,
2:03.6	Terry McDonough, who came out and accused the Cardinals owner, Michael Bidwell, of bullying his
2:10.0	employees and providing a hostile workplace environment and an arbitration claim to the national
2:16.4	football. Wow. What an offseason for the Arizona Cardinals, and it's not over yet with all these
2:22.9	things going on and with some of these players wanting out, and we'll see how they
