00:00they need this guy on the team like they need okay well this gets into my next question who
00:03has the leverage here digs or the patriots i in a weird i mean they very much need each other
00:08so i mean steph digs though we just made the joke like yeah he could use the money and yeah he could
00:13he could play but we just made a joke that he doesn't know four million dollars is missing
00:16so steph digs could retire from football and he'd be good i think i mean i don't know how he's
00:21what he's talking about right you never know but he's you know saying like he's certainly carrying
00:25himself that way i think he'd be fine he had a 10-year career this isn't like his first contract
00:29he already signed a monster contract so i think digs wants to keep playing football and there
00:35wasn't a huge amount of interest but if he walks away he had a great career if the patriots don't
00:41have steph digs their receiving room is awful and it's another year where we can make excuses for
00:46drake may because he's thrown to mac hollins and and kayshaun booty the patriots need digs more than
00:52digs needs the patriots so i understand your point about the receiver room which is why i do think
00:57it's an interesting question because i think it's close i think they have the leverage and i think
01:00they proved it you think the pats have it yes i think they proved it he showed up he didn't want
01:05to show up that's why he wasn't here he didn't want to be here if he wanted to be here he'd be here
01:09instead he was on a boat i mean but yeah in a way like they're the big organization they are the team
01:13that is they they are paying digs if digs wants to his money he needs to do what the patriots say
01:18however if the patriots don't have digs their team is worse off if digs doesn't have the patriots
01:24he's a free agent for a little while he he passes the physical down the road signs of the team
01:29mid-season he's still playing football maybe well as you just said there wasn't a lot of it as far
01:33as i know nobody else is interested didn't he say he took no visits when he showed up i'm not saying
01:37there was a big market for him at all but like his career is kind of set i think everything that
01:42happens after you're like that's 11 11 years in the pros that's a long career from that standpoint
01:46you're right but if he wants to play yeah they have the leverage i think and i think they proved it
01:51by getting him to show up and he's still sitting there going he wants the he wants the four million
01:56bucks he wants the passes yeah no i've taken something and like i don't fault him for that
02:00but i'm just telling you he showed up for a reason and he's here for a reason no one else wanted him
02:06houston didn't want him back yeah and so i do think they have the leverage but i get your point
02:10they need the roster wide receiver room even with him is probably one of the worst wide receiver
02:16rooms in the league without him it is the worst
