00:00We're going to do quarterbacks first today and then we will run down the position groups
00:19all the way leading up to Oxnard.
00:21So with quarterbacks, one of the things that I was looking at yesterday, I wanted to see,
00:25okay, what exactly has been the investment?
00:27And I think you could make an argument that out of contending teams, there's nobody who's
00:32invested less in terms of initial capital into their quarterback position and nobody
00:40who's invested more financially after the fact.
00:44Because the initial investment, the Cowboys, their three quarterbacks, which I think we
00:48all believe in a spot start, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance could probably win a game for you
00:53in a spot start.
00:54We know Cooper Rush.
00:55We know Cooper Rush.
00:56And Trey Lance, I would imagine you could probably create a, an atmosphere that allowed
01:02for him to bust drive for you at the very least.
01:05And they've gotten that.
01:06They've got three capable quarterbacks potentially by investing a 2016 fourth in what they used
01:10on DAC, a 2024 third, what they traded for Trey Lance and an undrafted pick in a Cooper
01:16Rush.
01:17Their cumulative cap hit this year.
01:19Those three players, that quarterback room is 24.9% of the Cowboys cap this year.
01:25Wow.
01:27That's one quarter of the cap.
01:28The quarterback room.
01:29And that is running back room.
01:30Yeah, it used to be.
01:31That is by far the highest percentage in the NFL this year, far and away because they've
01:35let Dax contract get to this ballooned point million dollar.
01:38They've got another 5 million on Trey Lance Dax cap number right now is $55,455,000 together.
01:45The quarterback room is 63 million in cap space that it's taken up.
01:51So they have, they have ballooned this cap of the group.
01:54When you look at position battles, as much as people would want a, a Trey Lance opportunity
02:00here, especially if DAC isn't locked in long-term, none of these guys are locked in long-term.
02:03You don't have any of them under contract after this year.
02:06I don't think we're heading into Oxnard with a single battle on the depth chart.
02:11I think we head into this year as it's DAC, it's Lance, it's Cooper Rush.
