| 0:00.0 | Cowboys Training Camp, like I said, begins on Monday, and a couple of things we want to get to here. |
| 0:05.7 | One, DJ, a follow-up from yesterday as we talked a little bit about the problem that NFL teams are having |
| 0:14.4 | with the second round picks from this past April draft. |
| 0:19.5 | As 29 of them are still unsigned, we had Carson Sweshinger sign, we had Jaden Higgins sign, |
| 0:29.9 | they both got guaranteed deals. |
| 0:32.2 | One other person has signed their contract. |
| 0:34.9 | That is 49ers pick Alfred Collins. He signed his deal. Now, he did not |
| 0:42.4 | get a fully guaranteed deal. He did not get his full contract guaranteed, but he got a good |
| 0:48.6 | deal of it. He was the 43rd overall pick, and of the slotted 10.3 million, he got nine of it guaranteed. |
| 0:58.4 | So that's 87% of the contract guaranteed compared to under 80% last year, which is not a fully guaranteed contract, but it's a step in the right direction. |

| 1:14.5 | So now we wonder, will the rest of the second round Domino's fall, |

| 1:22.4 | I would think so because I would imagine that the teams, whether it's sincere or not, are going to start being applying extra pressure of like, okay, we're right up against it here |
| 1:27.1 | with needing you to be in camp. |
| 1:29.4 | You know, this isn't something that is going to benefit us in the long term. And maybe that's |
| 1:33.4 | coaches going to owners and telling them, look, this, I don't know that this is a battle worth |
| 1:39.9 | fighting at this point now because we are getting to a point to where it's going to negatively |
| 1:45.0 | impact the team. We need to deal with this now. And fighting over guarantees is just not something |
| 1:51.8 | that coaches probably want to hear about at this point in the year. Right. And yeah, I mean, |
| 1:56.6 | if you're telling me that, you know, for even Alfred Collins, they were fighting over guaranteeing |
| 2:02.3 | 78% versus 88%. |
