00:00Two of the four teams that spent the most money in free agency are here in the Super Bowl.
00:04And the Patriots spent the most in free agency.
00:08And that doesn't mean all of a sudden Robert Kraft is a good owner again.
00:11That just means he decided to spend for once.
00:13And if you want to be back here next year, I hope he doesn't forget that.
00:17And, you know, Vrabel said we were intentional about it.
00:20We went out and we picked the right guys.
00:23He credited Elliott.
00:24He credited Ryan Cowden.
00:26Elliott Wolfe, rather.
00:27Ryan Cowden and Stretch in that order.
00:30For helping prioritize who they were going after in free agency.
00:33And I think Milton Williams is the face of that.
00:35And I think he's been a leader.
00:36He was yesterday again, Keith.
00:38He's like talking about the disrespect.
00:40And people can pick whatever they want.
00:42But when we win the Super Bowl, they're not going to be able to say anything.
00:44And like, he's not afraid.
00:46He's been a leader from day one.
00:47We've loved talking to him over the course of the year.
00:50I think that comes home.
00:51How confident he is.
00:52But that is a big, big, big reason why they're here.
00:56Picking the right guys in free agency.
00:58And on top of that, the owner finally opening up the pocketbook.
01:03That's a big reason why they're here.
01:04Yeah.
01:04And they hit on all these guys.
01:06I mean, it's like the Eagles from a year ago.
01:07The Eagles spent a lot of money.
01:09They brought in some players.
01:10Some, I think you had higher hopes for, like Saquon Barkley.
01:13But then you had a guy like Zach Bond, who you didn't know what to expect.
01:16And then he was an all-pro linebacker.
01:17So, the Patriots have hit on a lot of guys.
01:20And it wasn't always even at the glamorous positions too, right?
01:22The way they sort of started the offseason with guys like Milton Williams and Robert Spillane.
01:26But those have been huge factors.
01:28And then Diggs, you got everything you could possibly get out of him.
01:31So, yeah, the free agent class was fantastic this year.
01:34They spent on it, but they identified the right guys.
01:37And then someone like Milton Williams too.
01:38Like the whole playoff experience, Super Bowl experience, everything that he has.
01:43I mean, that's been worth its weight in gold.
01:45He's a winner.
01:46And, you know, he was a supplemental piece on the Eagles.
01:49I'm not telling you I knew this when they signed him.
01:51I think if you really ask them, I'm not sure they even knew what they were going to get out of Milton Williams.
01:56I think they liked him, obviously.
01:57And they upped the offer quite a bit at the 23rd hour.
02:01But, no, I mean, he's a culture changer.
02:03He's a winner.
02:04He's a leader.
02:05And, you know, that really, really, really is a big reason why they're here.
02:10And I think he's got a great matchup in the Super Bowls we talked about all week long.
02:13And Anthony Bradford, that's a matchup.
02:15That's a matchup to exploit on the Seahawks O-line.
