00:00What's your favorite part or aspect of the move?

00:02Legit all of the above because I didn't think they were going to do the spending.

00:05It's funny how much the Red Sox and Patriots have really mirrored themselves

00:09where they have cheaped out for a handful of years in a row and we talked

00:14about when the Red Sox traded for crochet and then signed Bregman and what

00:18a shot in the arm that was how excited it got everybody the team was spending

00:22again got good players coming in and now it honestly feels like sky's the

00:26limit with them.

00:27Like what a quick turnaround now.

00:28They didn't bought him out on the field to the level that the Patriots did

00:31last year.

00:32So the Patriots have more to go but we questioned what they're going to do

00:36spending wise you can't blame it all on Belichick when the first year after

00:40Belichick's gone.

00:40You just re-sign a bunch of his guys and don't do much else under Mayo, but

00:44now with Rabel coming in here, maybe he got to him or maybe craft has been

00:48pressured enough and is feeling that public pressure.

00:51I don't care.

00:51Whatever the reason is they're spending and for the first couple days of free

00:56agency were like, all right, another defensive player.

00:58All right, another defensive player.

00:59All right, another defensive player.

01:00They needed to address offense and they didn't get Chris Godwin.

01:05They weren't able to pry him away.

01:06And then the best guy still available out there was Steph Diggs and obviously

01:10he comes with some questions because he's available, right?

01:13If he was a stud, you know, like he was a few years ago.

01:16He'd still be on the Buffalo Bills or whatever else.

01:19So I love the fact that they spent the money.

01:21I love the fact that they're willing to spend the money at that position, which

01:25this franchise is really never done and they had to maybe overpay a little

01:30bit to get him fine.

01:31That's great.

01:32And yes, for Drake May specifically, we've been screaming for a while.

01:36He needs all the help he can get.

01:38You got to help this guy out.

01:39Steph Diggs helped take Josh Allen to the next level and maybe he can help

01:43take Drake May to the next level.

01:44Okay, so just real quick and I'll give you my favorite aspect of it for a

01:48moment.

01:48You mentioned the money.

01:49It's a three-year deal.

01:5069 million.

01:51Nice.

01:51Real nice.

01:52It includes 26 million guaranteed and I'm going to tell you right now.

01:56It's not even that.

01:58It's not even 26 million guaranteed.

02:03There's going to be per game roster bonuses and all this stuff in there.

02:06Okay, so it's reported initially as 69 million, 26 guaranteed.

02:11It's not even that.

02:12Yeah, I don't care about the money.

02:14I'm not bitching about the money.

02:15It doesn't matter.
