00:00Nick, give me a prediction about something that could surprise us about the Micah deal.
00:20My theory is that, yeah, Micah is probably going to get the highest paid non-quarterback
00:25deal, but he's not going to leapfrog it a lot, and that'll be his way of trying to give
00:29the Cowboys a break, maybe win over some of the fan sentiment.
00:33That's going to be my prediction, is that Micah doesn't mulligetta the market like David
00:38did with the secondary.
00:40How do you think this could end up looking?
00:42Yeah, I think the surprise could be how long it is.
00:46I think it ends up being a five-year deal, and that eventually would end up helping the
00:51Cowboys too, because you look at, let's say it's a $40.5 million deal per season over
00:56the course of five years.
00:57That's $202.5 million total.
01:00He might get the most guaranteed money at the end of the day of anyone at the position.
01:04That would certainly help down the line, but when you look at that deal in, say, 2029,
01:08he'd probably be out of the top ten just with the way the market is going, especially at
01:12the pass rusher position.
01:14I think that's probably the surprise that I think could happen.
01:17I think Micah wants that long-term security.
01:19Obviously, the Cowboys would want that long-term security with arguably their best player.
01:25I think that's probably what the surprise ends up being as well.
01:28It's going to be a five-year deal and north of $200 million.
01:30That's just my prediction.
01:31Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram joining us here on 105.3 The Fan.
01:35Nick, Brian Schottenheimer had referenced it a little bit yesterday that he expects
01:39Micah to be involved in the off-season workouts.
01:41He expects him to attend if a deal is not done by, let's say, training camp, for instance.
01:48Do you think he is present for the off-season workouts?
01:50Does he show up for training camp, or do you think that he's going to say, no, we're going
01:54to play this like a negotiation and hold out?
01:57That's fascinating because as Jerry was talking yesterday, and I was trying to put every ramble
02:03word into my brain and make it make sense, he had mentioned he was like, yeah, I still
02:08want to see some cards play out.
02:09I still want to see some things go.
02:11I was thinking in my head, I was like, well, they're not going to be playing any games
02:14between now and September, so what could those cards look like?
02:18I asked him in the last five minutes of that availability, he was like, hey, do you want
02:21to see him show up for workouts before you give him this deal?
