You can find us there as part of Empire Media, AMPIRE. Always much appreciated when you tune in. Don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. As you know, I have analysis of every signing they bring in guys from the outside.

What do they mean?

What does it mean?

What does a sign mean?

That's on ESPN.com.

We have that for every team, not just the commander, so you can check out what everybody else is

doing as well and the thoughts from their reporter.

And by the way, and I'm going to get into Chris Paul coming back.

They signed two receivers on Friday.

You might be watching this video on Sunday, so I apologize.

And what I'm going to do in this video, too, is, or in this episode, is play some sound

from a bunch of the players that we talked to on Friday because I'm recording this Friday night.

And in fact, I'm recording this again

because the joys of free agency mean that sometimes five minutes after you're done taping,

they signed somebody else. In this case, it was Chris Paul. So I figured, let's tear it up. Let's go

back to the beginning and do it again. I'm doing this for you, folks. I'm just kidding. But I want to do it again because that is what happens. It's happened a couple times. Omenahu, Charles Omenahoo, signed like a few, like shortly after I filed one. But I think in this case with Chris, I want to talk about it because again, the next one is not coming out for a few days so definitely wanted to kind of hit you up on

this one um so i'll get to all that in a minute um and again like today i'm going to play some sound

from our interviews with guys just for some bookkeeping purposes or just for your knowledge

odefe iwa he did sign and he's going to be talking to us, I believe, on Saturday.

Nick Cross signed on Friday, had to catch a flight right away to get out of town.

So we were going to get him next week. Laramie Tunsell be signed. His contract today. We'll get him next week as well. And sometimes these things are very, very tight because, like, for example, Marcus Mariodi came in, came in on a red eye, gets in at 645, gets the facility, signs, gets a suit on, talks to us, he's back on a plane at noon, back out to the West Coast. So anyway, but I want to start again with Chris Paul because that's the big deal. And I don't know if I already mentioned two, but they also signed Diami Brown and Van Jefferson two receivers receivers, two one-year deal, you know Deami Brown. I'll get to those guys in a minute. The problem is not solved there. With Chris Paul, this is what I told you in the beginning before Frigency that could happen, that he would go out there. They're going to let him test the market. If you didn't get what he wanted, he'd come back here on a one-year deal.
