00:00So, Chris, I'm going to ask you to repeat what you said last segment because I thought this was a
00:03good point regarding the signing of Jackson Smith and Jigbitt today by the Seattle Seahawks to a four-year deal
00:11for $168 million and change, right?
00:13You said $168.6?
00:15$168.6.
00:15Okay.
00:18So, who also plays for Seattle?
00:20I'm going to, like, walk you through this like you're two years old, Chris.
00:23Can I just say quickly before we do that, Christian Gonzalez did have a good Super Bowl, but if Sam
00:28Darnold weren't still as stiff, he would have given up two touchdowns to JSN?
00:31So, you think his play in the game is overrated?
00:34I mean, overrated's strong.
00:37I would say exaggerated some.
00:39Look, he played really well.
00:41He did a good job, but he was beaten for touchdowns twice, and the quarterback didn't deliver the ball.
00:46Surprise, surprise.
00:47Okay.
00:49So, Seattle has signed in Jigba.
00:52Yes.
00:53Who else do they have that is?
00:55They have Devin Witherspoon, who was an absolute game wrecker in that Super Bowl for the Seahawks.
01:00And your point is that if they would overspend to keep in Jigba the way they did, that it's reasonable
01:06to assume that they would make a similar decision with Witherspoon.
01:10Yeah, exactly.
01:10We talk about this all the time.
01:12Oh, you want to be the highest paid guy?
01:13Okay, be the highest paid guy by $500,000 or $750,000 per year.
01:17They went way above, almost $2 million above what the AAV was for.
01:23They are, if you're looking at what they did, they're like $10,000 short, basically, of going, or $100,000,
01:30sorry, $100,000 short of basically going $2 million above what was the highest for wide receivers in Jamar Chase.
01:38Right?
01:39And so if they would go that high above it, you want to make sure you sign Christian Gonzalez before
01:44Devin Witherspoon signs.
01:46Because as Murray corrected me, the highest now is Trent McDuffie at $31,000.
01:50So if they go another $2 million, basically, above, now that's $33,000.
01:53And what if Gonzalez comes in and says, well, hold on a second, like, Witherspoon, he's good.
01:58And he was great in the Super Bowl with the blitzing.
02:00But, like, I'm a better pure cover guy.
02:02And I shut down, to Murray's point, as he said, I shut down the $42 million guy.
02:08And I'll add a third thing in there.
02:09Oh, by the way, like, you guys talk to us so much about the culture and all this stuff.
02:13You know, I kind of noticed you haven't re-signed anybody that was on the team.
02:18So I want to make sure, you know, if I'm going to re-sign here, like, you've got to pay
02:21me.
02:21So now you have to go $2 million over what Witherspoon got.
02:24So now all of a sudden, instead of maybe signing him before when you could have signed him at an
02:28AAV of $30 million a year,
02:29now he could be up at $35.
02:31You've got to go first.
02:32You have to sign him before the Seahawks signed Witherspoon.
