00:00What do you think the fallback is at receiver?
00:02Okay, A.J. Brown, the Eagles are asking for too much.
00:06Not going to do that.
00:07Alec Pierce gets franchised today or re-signs today in Indianapolis.
00:11Diggs won't accept a pay cut.
00:14You are going to release him.
00:15Then what?
00:16It's a good question.
00:17You know, first of all, about Diggs, you know, there's this,
00:20I don't think it's accurate.
00:22Everybody's talking to this like he gets $6 million,
00:24like $6 million of his contract becomes guaranteed on whatever it is,
00:28March 13th.
00:29That's not as big a deal as everybody makes it out to be.
00:32It's not like it's a bonus.
00:34It's not like he's due a $25 million roster bonus.
00:37No, that's right.
00:38It's just guaranteeing $6 million.
00:41Like let's say the Patriots, all right, the deadline passes.
00:44Say they cut him.
00:45He's playing for more than $6 million next year guaranteed.
00:50I think he got, you know,
00:51I think he had like $20 million guaranteed for the Patriots this year,
00:54and that was coming off an ACL.
00:55Now he's 1,000 yards.
00:57The Patriots owe him $6 million guaranteed?
00:59Or he is just himself guaranteed $6 million, wherever it comes from?
01:04You know what I mean?
01:05There's two ways to, I guess, look at that.
01:07The way I understand it is he's just $6 million of his base salary,
01:12which is like, I don't know, on the books for like $20 million,
01:16becomes guaranteed on March 13th.
01:17I would say, Greg, and it's occurred to me yesterday.
01:20Even though his $20 million salary is not outrageous for a 1,000-yard receiver
01:24in today's NFL, I don't know if it's reasonable,
01:26but it's not unreasonable what he's making on the books next year
01:29if they do nothing.
01:30Again, it's all about cash, and it's not about the cap space.
01:34They can maneuver that any way they want to,
01:36but like, you know, $26 million, he's making $20 million in base salary.
01:42He wants a lot of that guaranteed,
01:44and then he'll play ball on the contract and lower his cap hit.
01:47It's not a big deal.
