Yes. First of all, I'm not Brennan, uh, Brandon Graham back, uh, he's 37 years old and I'm
00:07
not paying 37 year olds to do anything except work in the front office. Uh, I need a 23
00:13
year old, 22 year old athlete, pure and simple that I can manage fiscally. I also am not
00:19
bringing back frankly sweat. I thought he had his best year. I don't think he'll ever
00:24
do better than what he did. You told me about hunt. They got him under rafts. He grew five,
00:29
five inches and is a monster. Uh, I would, for me, just you win it all. They were great.
00:37
They were dominant. It was unbelievable. It was the worst Superbowl ever. Unless you're
00:40
a Philly fan, they're up 34 nothing. The game was just, just a disaster. But the fact is
00:46
I am not running a team where I'm just gonna, Oh, here we want a title. So let me give everybody
00:51
a ton of money to come back and run it back. Uh, the Patriots used to win by hiring guys
00:56
every year to do jobs. And I think how he's smart enough. I think Howie Roseman is the
01:01
best GM in the national football league. And I think he'll figure out a way to not give
01:06
all these guys. They think they're all going to get rich. I don't think they're all going
01:10
to get rich in Philadelphia. Well, Scott, let's first start on offense. Now they only
01:15
have one key player, Makai, backed in who'd never played garden. His life, an unbelievable
01:20
story. He got in really good physical shape. He held up Scott. He, he, he only missed a
01:24
couple of games due to injury. He did a great job. Now his contract's up. He signed a one
01:27
year $5 million deal. Uh, Tyler Steen's the kid that they drafted a couple of years ago
01:31
who was a tackle at Alabama. He's the guy that's going to replace him. I'd be surprised
01:35
if Becton's back. Makai though, the cool thing for him is he's shown he can play both tackle
01:39
positions and guard, but it's all about defense. Milton Williams, number 93 Scott. I think
01:45
if he asked the Eagles this, they would probably tell you that they would agree with me from
01:49
a consistency standpoint. He was their best defensive player. Yes. Jalen Carter's more
01:53
talented. Don't get me wrong. Number 98, but Milt Williams out of Louisiana tech is
01:58
an unbelievable football player. Good every year. And he was phenomenal this season. He's
02:02
a free agent. He could command a deal around 20 million or more. It's a lot of money. That's
02:07
where it's going now that for, for guys from the interior who could play the run and rush
02:12
the passer like Williams, you just don't find these guys in free agency. He's been a phenomenal
02:17
third round pick. Now, Josh Swett, you mentioned him number 19, who was drafted in the fourth
02:24
round in 2018. He's been a terrific football player. Now, one thing we need to mention
02:28
about Josh Swett, he took a massive pay cut to return to the Eagles this season. He changed
02:32
agents, played really well, stayed healthy. It's not happening again. Yeah. Well he, he,
02:38
I would be surprised if he's back. I'm not saying it won't happen, but they, you mentioned
02:43
Jalex Hunt, Scott, let me explain to you who Jalex Hunt is. This guy was a safety at Cornell.
02:49
He had a growth spurt, four to five inches when he was 19 years old, six foot five, 250.
02:55
He's number 58 wearing Trent Coles all number. It was phenomenal in the Super Bowl game.
02:59
He's gotten better and better and better. Now on your point earlier about Brandon Graham,
03:03
this is a good point you made. What happened was Hunt was not supposed to play this season.
03:07
It was going to be Bryce Huff who signed for 17 million a year and Brandon Graham. Their
03:13
first, their first four edge rush spots were taken. Hunt was the fifth. You don't dress
03:18
five edge rushers. Graham tears his triceps. Jalex Hunt has a risk procedure also didn't
03:23
play well. We're talking Bryce Huff, excuse me. And then, then Hunt gets thrown into service
03:29
and gets better and better and better. And remember Nolan Smith, by the way, Nolan Smith
03:33
was their fourth edge rusher to start the season. Now he's a bonafide starter. So you're
03:37
right. How he set this thing up extremely well for the future. You're also right. You
03:41
can't resign everybody. Cap is not the biggest issue in the world. It's more cash. You got
03:47
to be careful how much cash you tie up on defense, but they've drafted so well since
03:53
really 2021, one of the best drafting GM since then in Howie Roseman. So they're in good
03:57
shape, but Zach Bond is the big one. Scott, he never played inside backer in his life.
04:04
He came out of nowhere, became a first team, all pro. No talking to Greg, go sell from
04:08
NFL films. Greg actually thought that if you, if you compare the tape of bond and Fred Warner,
04:14
it was better the season that tells you how it came out of nowhere. So, and by the way,
04:19
that kind of deal that he's going to get could average at least 13 and a half million. He
04:22
did. He signed for one year and three and a half million this season with, with Eagles.
04:26
It's incredible what he did.
