00:00How many teams win 14 games and then don't bring any of their unrestricted free agents
00:06back, get rid of their leading receiver, their starting center, and make moves where they're
00:12just letting guys go that were a big part of that team?
00:15To me, that tells you that they feel like they exceeded what they should have done last
00:20year on paper, and that some of these players you look at, the Kate LaVon Chasons, Kyrus
00:27Tonga, Jalen Hawkins, that those guys, while they like them and they appreciate the performance
00:31they got from them, those guys were placeholders.
00:34They're placeholder type of players.
00:36I'll throw Jack Gibbons in there, too.
00:37They're placeholder type of players.
00:39They feel like they got the most out of them, and they're not bringing them back.
00:42Oh, by the way, this was a team that when Gerard Mayo was the coach in Elliott Wolfe's first
00:47year as executive vice president of player personnel, they brought back or re-upped like
00:5313 guys from a 4-13 team.
00:55Now you have a 14-win team, and you're basically bringing back no one.
01:00So you think they are admitting by their actions that they themselves believe that they were
01:04fool's gold?
01:06Yes, I do.
01:07I do.
01:07I do.
01:08Yep.
01:09Yep.
01:10Do you think that they could be a better team this year and have a worse result?
01:14Absolutely, because I think the schedule will be tougher.
01:16I think teams will regard them differently now.
01:20Now they're the hunted now, not the hunters.
01:23They're going to get a lot of teams' best shot.
01:26I think they absolutely could be a more talented team.
01:28They could be a better team.
01:29And it's hard to win 14 games in the NFL.
01:33That's very difficult.
01:35And that's just the regular season.
01:36They won 17 overall.
01:37So I absolutely think they could be a better team and not have the same record.
01:41But I just look at it and think, again, I always say this to you guys, in life and in
01:45sports, actions speak louder than words.
01:48And how many guys have they let go in terms of not bringing them back in free agency?
01:52Guys they release, like Diggs, Jelani Tavai, Anthony Jennings, trading Bradbury, free agents
01:57they let go.
01:58I mean, who's, Theron Munford Jr.
02:00is like the only guy they could bring back.
02:02I guess they signed Tommy DeVito, if you want to give me credit for that, the third string
02:05quarterback.
02:06But other than that, who's coming back?
