00:00but I think I did see Brandon Ayoub there last night on his way from Logan uh probably to Fox

00:07Bro stopped at the show Curtis I think Courtney wasn't actually going home she was heading to

00:12the rental car pickup at Logan where she spotted Brandon Ayoub I mean is it possible oh if they

00:18don't get him I'm gonna be so mad now I mean it appears to be between our beloved New England

00:24Patriots and the Cleveland Browns so I mean if you were what's a better place Fox Bro in between

00:33Boston and Providence or Cleveland if you were Brandon Ayoub would you choose Boston or Cleveland

00:39well I'm obviously biased to Boston being from it let's just look at it in the football world

00:45of how he's looking at it because Cleveland and Boston might be the same place to him is it he's

00:52looking at one team as a playoff team and the other one got a young quarterback who's not star

01:01and so I think you have to look at it like the way he potentially could be looking at it where

01:07you know one of the teams seems a it seems like they're a better team and it could be a better

01:13opportunity for him to be successful in the winning aspect of it earlier if if you are and

01:19it seems like there's a lot of smoke so there's probably fire if you're in the running then that

01:26says to me that you've overcome one obstacle which is Robert Kraft being willing to pay somebody 30

01:33million dollars a year that is a big one right there and we can agree this is not something

01:37Bill Belichick would have done he would not Curtis can we please what like five well you can't say

01:43Bill would do it Bill well you said things change that's what changed so Robert changed

01:49well but but can't have both you can't have it both Bill would have traded for a depressed asset

01:54like Randy Moss when he was with the Raiders or Wes Welker when he was with the Dolphins

01:58underutilized do you think Bill wanted to have DeAndre Hopkins on the football team

02:04um yes yes yes Curtis yes but either way he Robert Kraft wouldn't pay come on now right

02:10you can't have it both ways you can't grow Bill Belichick didn't pay receivers period

02:16he paid other people Randy Moss did he pay Randy Moss then he then he traded him what he wanted to

02:20raise I know so so you got you can't have the argument that it was Robert who was tight with

02:26spending because maybe he felt like Bill could make things happen and now say well this wouldn't

02:33happen if Bill was here because I think if Bill's here does Robert maybe go well you could figure it

02:41out with those other players our budget's not as high where now he knows he doesn't have Bill

02:46he has to spend well I think maybe if it is percolating over there it gives you somewhat

02:53of an explanation on why they have been unwilling to add something to Matthew Judon's contract so

03:02maybe they are saving money and maybe they are I am I'm praying to the the football gods that

03:10the Patriots are in and are going to land Brandon Ayuk it would be just an absolute

03:17a banger of a game changer Curtis you want to talk about parallels and back back-to-back years

03:23remember the feeling when we saw what DeAndre Hopkins went to the Titans for and we were sitting

03:28there we were we were up at um are the worst nacho place in the world in New Hampshire and

03:33that story that is the uh that's the margaritaville chain is that what it is no no the it's a Mexican

03:40margaritas margaritas right get a margarita skip the food yes um but the uh that that feeling we

03:48had where you had La Familia in the locker room with Judon posting and the way you felt after when

03:54you saw it was six million could be up to 10 whatever what is the deal gonna be is it gonna

03:59be a first round pick is it going to be a second round pick I really I don't care at this point no

04:06because you have an opportunity to get a guy that you can build around with your offense everybody

04:11says the wide receivers have been popping well now you get somebody to be the obvious number one

04:16everybody falls in place behind him it would be spectacular as far as I'm concerned if they want

04:21the lighthouse I would unscrew it and send that out to them as part of the deal right give send

04:27the lighthouse to the Niners I don't care right I do not care give them whatever they want yeah I

04:32think that's the in the and also if it turns out where I most people believe that we're gonna see

04:40Drake May at some point in time whether it's week six week seven week eight during the season it

04:46just makes things a lot easier for him when he does become the quarterback of this team because

04:52he'll have a legitimate number one to be able to help him get out of some jams you can text this

04:58show anytime this morning every single day on the Subaru of New England text line and a 508 text this

05:06morning which says that uh it is a great time to spend because you have Drake May on a rookie

05:14contract so if you are going to invest 30 million dollars in a player like Brandon Ayuk this is the

05:21time to do right because you know for the next three years even if he's good you wouldn't

05:25restructure his deal until after his third year and this is what the new NFL is it's like quarterbacks

05:30the receivers are a premium position which means you're not going to be able to get the best

05:36receivers in free agency every free agent I'm sorry every top level receiver will either remain

05:42with his team or be traded for a haul like you've seen with Steph Diggs like we've seen with Tyreek

05:48Hill Tyreek Hill Devontae Adams all these guys so this is the only way you're going to be able

05:53to get one especially when you don't have a hall of fame quarterback and this is why it's just a

05:58no-brainer to me for them to do
