00:00You think there's some news when it comes to Christian Gonzalez?
00:03I assume you are referring to what Henry McKenna reported yesterday.
00:08Yeah, that the talk started to heat up a little bit at the Combine.
00:12And then he had a pro football focus, you know,
00:16putting it out there that he's your most valuable trade chip.
00:18I don't want to hear that.
00:19I don't want to hear that at all.
00:21I think he's your only trade chip.
00:23Like, you look at guys on his team, who would you trade for on offense?
00:26Drake Mays out of it.
00:27Nobody.
00:28Nobody.
00:28There's nobody on offense.
00:30Pop Douglas, Booty maybe.
00:32But what's he going to get you?
00:34You're not going to trade Matt Collins.
00:36You're not trading Kyle Williams.
00:37Kyle Williams isn't going to get you when you drafted him, Matt.
00:40Nor the two older tight ends or the one older tight end.
00:43Now that Hooper's gone.
00:45Or my J. Stevenson, he's not going to get you a boatload.
00:48Quarterback's the only thing.
00:49You're never going to trade your quarterback.
00:50On a defense, you've got Gonzalez.
00:53I think Marcus Jones would have interest.
00:55If you really are looking to move somebody and change your defense.
00:59But Carl Davis is 30 years old.
01:02He's got size to him.
01:03He gets nicked up a little bit, but he plays through it.
01:06He's aging on one side.
01:07Why would you ever entertain trading Gonzalez when you already got the guy?
01:13Like you got your cover corner for the next five years.
01:17So you're going to get, what, two ones for him?
01:19Where are you going to pick?
01:2021, 23?
01:21What if you miss on both those?
01:23I mean, look at some of the picks that they've had at the end of the first round that they
01:27missed on.
01:28You've got a cover corner that you know can play.
01:30You don't let that guy leave your building.
01:32Yeah, you only trade him because you don't want to pay him.
01:34That's it.
01:35It's the only reason why you were trading and you don't want to pay.
01:37And off of the Smith and Jigba contract where you've got receivers now making $42 million,
01:43I think if you read between the lines and you look at it,
01:46you're going to have to start paying corners $35 to $40 million a year.
01:49I think Tom Curran even said that, too.
01:51It starts at $35 for him.
01:52I mean, it doesn't.
01:53It shouldn't.
01:54We're not there yet.
01:55That's why I think it's imperative to get this done.
01:58I mean, you'll soon be there if you don't pay him now.
02:00Right.
02:01Oh, you'll go north of $35.
02:02If all of a sudden Witherspoon comes in and, you know, they won the Super Bowl.
02:06They're paying their guys.
02:07They let the running back walk.
02:09They weren't going to pay him, the MVP.
02:13But, man, if Witherspoon comes in at $34, $35, good God.
