00:00this news kind of came out of nowhere yesterday and i'm i'm a little surprised by it only because
00:05this guy was super productive at a position that was already a position of need for this team and
00:13now i would say is a very acute need for the new england patriots the new england patriots after
00:17one year moving on from stefan diggs yesterday yeah diggs was scheduled his cap hit this past
00:25year was only 10 million dollars we just had nick casario on an hour ago and he was talking about
00:32that like with these contracts whether it's an extension or restructure whatever if it typically
00:36the it's year one is the one where you can still kind of make some hay because you're pushing stuff
00:40into future years look the patriots were super active in free agency last year including signing
00:46diggs to a deal that was didn't have a lot of guaranteed money in it then moving on from him
00:51after just one year on a three-year deal may sound a little surprising to people based on his
00:56productivity but i think there's two things that work one his cap hit was set to go up to 26
01:01million
01:01this year so that's a significant jump two and this is where i might text ted johnson and find out
01:08i wonder how much some of the off the field stuff with diggs started to grade on the patriots a
01:14little
01:14so he's currently facing felony strangulation and other criminal charges stemming from an alleged
01:21dispute with this personal chef i think most people listening are aware of that yeah um but
01:26that like so that's ongoing he's he's pleaded not guilty and he's got another appearance on april 1st
01:32there's that but then you go back to the off season and there was the the video of him you
01:38know doling
01:38out some unknown substance to women on a boat like a pink powder yeah some sort and uh like there's
01:45a lot
01:45of i i think there's probably a whole lot of extra that comes with stefan diggs that maybe just wasn't
01:52worth it given everything else going on yeah it's the between the contract his age the
01:59everything off field that they might have to worry about that it was just all right it's time to move
02:04on it's gotta be he was their leading receiver last yes he had a good year last year he was
02:09a good
02:09football player for them last year put it this way if if there weren't that stuff going on they
02:15would have found a way to make the 26 million work this year the cap hit they would have found
02:19a way
02:19to adjust it or restructure it my guess is diggs liked playing there they went to the freaking super
02:25bowl there was okay did i i never bothered to figure out how much of this was real and what
02:29wasn't real
02:31during the super bowl itself uh the report was that cardi b was upset when she realized that one of
02:37digg's
02:37other uh female relations was at the game i think that was real and she did she stopped following
02:43on instagram they are they are broken up they are broken up they are broken up yeah you and i
02:48we had
02:48that in the rundown for like a week and just never got we just never got to it yeah we
02:52are still crying
02:53about cj um sorry cardi b we're crying about our own issues right now i think like that's the sum
03:01total
03:01of it at all is that yeah there's always a lot going on with stefan diggs yeah and now i
03:06mean he's
03:07averaging assault allegate an assault allegation per year over the last two years yes because he had
03:13one in houston no he goes up to new england and a new one crops up yeah yeah i just
03:18it's it's a lot
03:19yeah yeah he's the that market will be very interesting stefan diggs if he gets cut if there's some
03:26team out there because they're honestly the you could say he would get cut boy a team that's maybe
03:31desperate for a receiver might give him a chance a chance you know who's desperate for receivers now
03:36the new england patriots without stefan diggs that's who you know who doesn't give a damn about
03:41what your prior transgressions might be or current the kansas city kansas city chief he's gonna be a
03:45chief it's he'll be a chief in our dude you're so right about that great call seth um i saw
03:50another
03:50picture and again i don't know i hadn't looked in to see if this is real or not a picture
03:54of a slimmed down
03:55andy reed it looked like too drastic a weight loss uh it's got i wonder if it's the andy reed
04:00impersonator because oh yeah somebody said like people were having a discussion about ozempic but
04:06look i saw i i don't think by even by ozempic standards i don't think he lost this much weight
04:11i haven't seen it so i don't know i don't think i don't think that's accurate i think it was
04:15a i think
04:15if if it's accurate at all it was a picture of that andy reed impersonator maybe he lost some weight
04:21or something maybe um this is an interesting notion uh with the patriots and this digs thing
04:26this is from gilmore and humble uh do you guys think vrabel let digs go in order to team back
04:31up
04:31with a.j brown from their titan days now that would have to be a trade but the eagles are
04:35pretty open
04:36about the that the a.j brown store is open right now yeah no and the patriots it seems like
04:41the
04:41patriots of the team most often linked to a.j brown um a little bit of buffalo too yeah they
04:48need a
04:48receiver not because of actual reports or anything but the variable variable connection with a.j brown
04:53from their days in tennessee yeah i mean when a.j brown got traded away that wasn't that when they
04:58had that press conference where they the gm and variable were there and variable looked like it was
05:03a prisoner video like he was not happy to be there i don't remember the press conference what i do
05:07remember was it was the 2022 draft and they showed the war room uh for the titans as the trade
05:14or after
05:15the trade was being made and vrabel looked despondent okay he did not look happy in that war room
05:20video now there may have been a press conference too seth i just don't recall that um but there was
05:25i remember them showing war room footage and people commenting on social media how distraught
05:30vrabel looked over a.j brown getting traded and as it turned out he was right they traded a.j
05:36brown
05:36for a first round pick that they then used on trail on burks oh they were trying to recapture some
05:42of that vikings magic when they traded digs and used the pick on justin jefferson yeah which was
05:47an upgrade and and burks remember we couldn't even make it through a mini camp practice he was out of
05:52shape he was yeah it was bad they tried to blame it on asthma or something but it was like
05:56bad it was
05:57yeah it was bad it was really bad it was which i that's a story that i'm buying less and
06:02less
06:02given the way trail on burks career has gone yes that if it was if trail on burks and ended
06:07up being a
06:07good rookie and a good player and everything about like oh the poor kid he's got some exercise induced
06:11asthma and people are being mean to him now i'm inclined to think like okay what how do you how
06:16do you figure out the difference between exercise induced asthma and just being i don't know i don't
06:21know um it's yeah i i'm not sure someone i've got exercise induced vomiting yeah it's not that i'm out
06:30of shape right i've got exercise induced vomiting that's all that's all it is man it's not it's not out
06:36of shape i told you the time uh we were doing our tests our conditioning tests one year and uh
