00:00How much does that play into it that, okay, even Dak, who's a protected guy at quarterback, had those injuries.
00:07And now you're talking about a guy like Michael, who is not as protected and running around.
00:13So I got to ascertain from what you said to me prior to earlier that this thing also counts into your understanding of this contract negotiation.
00:25Okay, Mike, I'd like to turn the table on you a little bit and say, which is the most important increment, the top-rated quarterback or the top-rated pass rusher?
00:45Yeah, no doubt, top-rated quarterback, no doubt.
00:46Okay, so that's what Dak had going for him because he was out of contract.
00:52And Micah is a pass rusher, outstanding, outstanding.
00:59We need him to win, and we should have him to win.
01:04We can have him three years like it is right now.
01:07We can have him three years without having this agreement.
01:11He should, he should, though, in my mind, because he'd be the highest-guaranteed player ever on defense, was what he's been offering.
01:24Okay, and I'll let it go at that.
01:28I'll let it go at that.
01:30I'll drop this one thing on you because this is –
01:33When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass.
01:38Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:40Wait, now, see, I was –
01:41Just so you're clear.
01:41Wait, wait, wait.
01:42What do you mean?
01:43So, wait, wait.
01:44What do you mean?
01:45Because people are going to ask.
01:46Mike and I.
01:46Mike and I talked.
01:48Mike and I.
01:49Yeah, Mike and I talked.
01:50And then we were going to send it over to the agent.
01:55And we had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything.
02:00We were going to send it over to the agent.
02:02And the agent said, don't bother because we've got all that to negotiate.
02:09Well, I'd already negotiated.
02:10I'd already moved off my mark on several areas.
02:13And so the issue, very frankly, is we've had the negotiation in my mind.
02:20And the agent's trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we'd already set.
02:29It's the mama-daddy deal.
02:31You go into mama, and she won't do it.
02:35And she's the boss.
02:37So she won't do it.
02:38So you run into daddy.
02:40Daddy says, do it.
02:41And then you go back in and say, mama, daddy said it was all right.
02:44So mama-daddy deal.
02:46We've all been there and done that.
02:47Well, we've got this deal resolved, in my mind, for the Dallas Cowboys.
02:54And we've got it done.
02:55And if the agent wants to finish up the detail, which is should, and do all the paperwork, and he can do that.
03:04And we're ready to go.
03:05But as far as the amount of money, the years, the guarantees, all of that, we'd negotiate that.
03:10And we're ready to go.
