00:00I bet you one of those other five teams went to the playoffs last year or maybe a top ten contender for the Super Bowl and

00:06Didn't finish four and thirteen and isn't in such dire desperate need of a wide receiver

00:12Holy smokes to somebody down there not realize how badly they need a grown-up

00:17wide receiver one slash former wide receiver one to come and take

00:21Targets and to come drag coverage away from these kids and also teach them how to play the position

00:26Properly and be a thunder buddy to Drake May do not cheap out on this Patriots spend the money overpay

00:33You're not in a position to demand his salary needs pay the man his money

00:38It also says in there

00:39They already cheaped out that the reason they didn't pursue him via trade

00:42Was that the contract was too big the contract wasn't too big for a team with a hundred and thirty million dollars in the cat

00:48On the cap at the time let me and I'm a fan of a Cooper cut

00:51But I'm gonna do what you do is just push back because you have fun pushing back. Yeah

00:55So they're pointed baby. They signed Carlton Davis who's going into his eighth year in the league

01:01They signed Morgan Moses who's going into his twelfth year in the league. They signed Matt Collins who's going into his ninth year

01:07Josh Dobbs going into his seventh year Robert Spillane going in the seventh year Harold Landry going into his seventh year

01:12Do you know the Patriots roster is the oldest roster in the NFL as of today? Okay, the oldest roster. No, no ish, so

01:20My and there's gonna there's a lot of people that would say well

01:23They overpaid for a lot of those guys, which who cares? I don't care. It's not my money

01:27Also, but I have a type that you I could see them looking at this and going

01:32Our team's just getting older and older

01:34I mean you got Cooper Cub was going into his ninth year who's pleased played eight years and you have to severely overpay for again a

01:42Guy who's aging out. This is the oldest roster on the NFL right now my part of maybe what I think they're probably thinking is

01:49They got to get younger if they can't get younger, but I'm not saying you do it with this guy

01:54But my feeling is they're a little bit nervous

01:56But when they look down and they see the average age of their current roster

01:59But isn't wide receiver one of their youngest spots with Jalen Polk Javon Baker

02:05I'm one of my trying to say what I think they're saying you I think you keep saying the word the adult in the room

02:10Thing it's you can be the adult in the wide receiver room where you said the is is most needed

02:15There's one room you want an adult and don't want them just screwing around and having fun
