00:00Jerry Jones got the mic yesterday at the owners meetings in Arizona.
00:05Did you see the old coach drink gathering?
00:09I didn't know that that was a thing.
00:11I didn't either.
00:12I don't recall getting footage before, but Jay Glazer, I guess,
00:15where's Adam Schefter doing that?
00:17Jay Glazer gets as many coaches together as possible.
00:20I think there were only three missing to, like, drink throughout the entire day.
00:25It was just really interesting to see who was sitting next to each other
00:28and who was glaring at the camera.
00:30Like, what is this for?
00:31What is this?
00:32Looked like Dan Campbell was glaring at him.
00:34And I think Nick Sirianni had the audio of, who is this?
00:38Who are you talking to?
00:38What is this for?
00:40But I saw Shoddy there.
00:41Yep.
00:42I did not see McCarthy.
00:43I'm not saying McCarthy was not there.
00:45I must have meant Shoddy and Kellen were there if McCarthy wasn't there.
00:47Sean, I didn't see Kellen in the shot.
00:50Sean Payton was holding court.
00:52I saw Kyle Shanahan.
00:54I saw Sean McVay.
00:55Cool little video put together by Glazer for the annual.
00:58Because I was like, what are the coaches doing there?
01:00What is the point?
01:02They had a meeting before the picture.
01:04I know that, right?
01:05They had a coach's meeting before the picture that Monk had skipped.
01:09And that's why he missed the haircut because he didn't know they got done early.
01:13Monk had.
01:13Or not, that's why he missed the picture because he didn't know they got done early.
01:15The Browns coach was apparently getting a haircut for the picture.
01:18Not a great feeling if I'm a Browns fan from an organizational standpoint.
01:22He couldn't get the haircut timing right for the picture.
01:26And he ended up missing the picture.
01:28I just, I can't with Glazer sometimes.
01:32A little like, hey, I put this on myself.
01:36I got this fraternity of coaches started.
01:39I just, I can't.
01:41I can't sometimes.
01:43Sean McVay picking up the bill last year.
01:46Put on this patch.
01:47Coach, you don't need ADD meds.
01:50Man, this is a second day.
01:53Letting it all out from vacation.
01:55The 10 days packaged up with the Bobby Belt thoughts and feelings.
01:59Jerry got the mic and he was asked by the media,
02:03did you bust the budget this offseason?
02:05We've been aggressive.
02:06We have, relatively speaking,
02:10we've stepped up the financial requirements for what we have done.
02:16We may have exceeded, busted, whatever you want to call it,
02:20but we got some more.
02:21And so we're not through.
02:23We got some more and we're not through.
02:26So...
02:27It's accurate.
02:28Yeah, they're not through.
02:29It's technically accurate.
02:30No, I mean, he didn't say,
02:32we absolutely busted the budget.
02:34Like, he's accurate.
02:34He's like, we exceeded what we normally have done.
02:37And he would come on here in an interview and say,
02:40yeah, we busted the budget.
02:41He'd probably with us say it a little more like,
02:43hell yeah, we busted the budget.
02:45In fact, I'd say we spent more money than any team in the last decade has spent,
02:48is what he would tell us.
02:49But...
02:50Here.
02:50Yeah, exactly.
02:51He would find a technicality,
02:54but that's his thing.
02:55He's the salesman, but he said it.
02:57They spent more than they normally do.
02:59That's basically what they did.
03:00I think he spent less on this year's Russia than Indiana is going to spend.
03:04The Hoosiers?
03:05Yeah.
03:07They spent big.
03:07They always spent big, right?
03:08That's the last couple of years.
03:09They just spent big.
03:10They had the largest college basketball budget of any team.
03:13Mike Garofalo kind of started this.
03:17I know that Mike Fisher's obsession with Mike Florio is going to blame Florio,
03:20which we'll get to here in just a second.
03:22But Mike Garofalo took this answer on a George Pickens,
03:27an agent update, David Mulligetta, Micah Parsons,
03:31and turned into a national headline.
03:34This is Jerry.
03:34Jerry, do you anticipate getting something done with GP before this July 15th deadline?
03:39I don't know.
03:41The franchise tag has an automatic time frame on it,
03:46and all of us will,
03:50and it's my plan and our thought that we'll all be working within the time frame
03:55of the conditions of the franchise tag.
03:59So it should play itself out, is the best way for me to say it.
04:06Make no mistake about it, we have long-term plans in mind for Pickens.
04:10Make no mistake about it, we have long-term plans in mind.
04:15He also did confirm they have not started negotiations.
04:18They have not had talks.
04:20And Mike Garofalo, NFL Network, I didn't see audio or video of this.
04:25He tweeted,
04:26I asked Jerry if Pickens has said he wants negotiations to go through his agent.
04:32Jerry said he's talked to agents over the years, he has no issue doing that,
04:35but, quote,
04:37if he worked without an agent, he'd save a lot of money with me.
04:43So now we're going down the possible path of Micah 2.0
04:48in terms of Jerry maybe just wanting to talk with George straight up
04:53without David Mooligeta again.
04:56Mike Florio takes that, ProFootballTalk.com,
04:59and turns that into the headline of
05:02Jerry Jones tries to get George Pickens to ditch his agent.
05:08Settle down just a little bit.
05:09Jerry is at it again.
05:11He has a history of trying to negotiate directly with players.
05:15We know what happened with Micah this year,
05:17trying to get franchise tag receiver George Pickens to go at it alone.
05:23Pickens surely won't be falling for that one.
05:25Jerry knows it's easier to squeeze someone who doesn't negotiate contracts for a living
05:29into doing a bad deal.
05:31And even if Pickens wouldn't have to pay Mooligeta's fee,
05:34Mooligeta would get enough, more than enough, to justify his cut.
05:38Just look at what Micah got paid in Green Bay.
05:41What do you make of the comments, Bobby?
05:43I talked to three different people yesterday who all said this is being taken completely out of content.
05:48He was joking.
05:48Like, that they say there's not audio of it or whatever,
05:51but he was joking in a way that, like, the whole beat started laughing.
05:55Like, he was doing it, like, with kind of a wink.
05:56Like, oh, he could save a lot of money with me.
05:58That's bad on Garofalo, then.
06:00So, yeah, I mean, that's what happens when you just let the Nationals step in and start covering the beat.
06:05But, no, I'd say he...
06:07Now you sound like Fish.
06:08It made it sound like gentlemen.
06:09Gentlemen.
06:11It sounded like it was something where, yeah, as a read, it doesn't read good at all.
06:15So, I mean, if it reads that way, that's pretty bad.
06:18But I know that people on the beat yesterday were saying, no, he was very obviously kidding.
06:23He said it at the end as, like, a joke and, like, winked at everybody kind of thing.
06:26That's good.
06:27Yeah.
06:27Yeah, he's just amazing.
06:29It's the same thing if it was, like, Zeke who, it felt like.
06:32Like, Zeke who?
06:33And then, like, how he does his little grin.
06:34And then he winks at you.
06:36The crowds were bigger for CD than Micah.
06:37Yeah, and then he laughs, then he waves at you, and then goes, like, all right, guys, I'll see you
06:41later.
06:41Like, it sounds like it was one of those.
06:43Bad Context by Garofalo.
06:44Yeah.
06:45If you got three different people saying, no, he was clearly joking.
06:49He works for ESPN now, so.
06:51Oh, is that official?
06:52Well, I mean, yeah, that's what's out there.
06:53So, the acquisition, now you're going to get more of the ESPN sort of tweets, I guess.
06:58Jerry.
06:58Tough day for Mike yesterday.
07:00Mike.
07:00Garofalo.
07:01All Mikes.
07:01Garofalo.
07:02Why?
07:03Italy.
07:03We had a tough day yesterday.
07:05Didn't make the World Cup.
07:06Didn't qualify for the World Cup.
07:07Tough day.
07:08Italy's not going to be in the World Cup.
07:09Three straight World Cups they've missed.
07:12Three straight.
07:13Could you imagine TVSA missing three straight World Cups?
07:16In what?
07:17Soccer.
07:18Yeah.
07:18That would happen, right?
07:19I could maybe miss.
07:19Yeah, I just can't wait for Italy to come up with a show that says baseball country.
07:23Dude.
07:24Yeah, when I was playing soccer, video games as a kid, it's either Germany, Brazil, Italy.
07:32That was basically, I mean, if they have four World Cups, they've missed three in a row.
07:36Baseball country, baby.
07:37Jerry Jones on the Max Crosby deal falling through.
07:41Really, it's pretty simple for me.
07:44There's no hidden item there.
07:50You've got to pass the physical.
07:52And so you have to pass the physical.
07:53And we've never completed an agreement until the player passes the physical.
08:01That implies that yours, yours being your doctors, your trainers, everybody involved, get to take a look at it.
08:10That goes with the territory.
08:12So we would have basically looked at the same conditions with the physical.
08:21And as you know, we were in on making an offer for him.
08:24So he would have come to Dallas, and we'll all just guess what would have happened.
08:30We'll all just guess what would have happened if the same thing played out.
08:34I mean, that's the answer right there as to them cooling on it, is that he sounds like he agrees
08:40with the way the Ravens saw it, almost.
08:42Just like, yeah, if you're not going to feel comfortable with the way that medical looks, then walk away from
08:47it.
08:47And we would have walked away from it similarly.
08:49He didn't say those exact words, so I don't want to put words in his mouth.
08:52But essentially what he just said was, I would have done the same, I think.
08:55Is this Jerry just trying to keep the worm on the end of the hook when the follow-up question,
08:59I think, from Nick Harris was, and I think Jerry.
09:02Jerry was very nice and entertaining with all the questions yesterday, a very pleasant tone.
09:08I think he's gaining some actual respect, or he just remembers that Nick ordered that pink drink in front of
09:16him.
09:17So, because Nick, a couple times, Jerry gave the, what, huh, what's your follow-up?
09:22And that can sometimes scare reporters because it can be a little bit intimidating.
09:25Nick stood in there, and Jerry just took the question as if it was coming, you know, from a 40
09:31-year pro, would you revisit Max in the summer?
09:36I don't anticipate standing here right now revisiting that situation.
09:44I don't anticipate it.
09:46Is it possible?
09:47Yes.
09:49All right.
09:49So, there it is.
09:50That's him just keeping the worm on the hook.
09:52Yeah, that's no.
09:53That means Max Crosby's not coming here.
09:54That's what that sounds like.
09:56Oh, you're going to go that far with it?
09:57Yeah, I think he's just, yeah, I won't say no to nothing, you know?
10:00You don't want to rule out it.
10:02It's the whole little, like, you know.
10:03Or is it like, hey, Raiders, no one's lining up at your door anymore except our second-round pick that
10:10can turn into something if we're on the clock or later on?
10:13Yeah, I think it's more he's just saying, well, I don't want to say I've ruled out anything because who
10:19knows?
10:20But, no, not functionally, not the way it stands now.
10:23The answer would be no.
10:25Jerry Jones, yesterday at the owners' meetings in Arizona, right here on 105.3 The Fan.
10:31Brian Schottenheimer said they can draft pure but acknowledges the hole in the linebacker room.
10:36Jerry on having zero off-season acquisitions in the middle of his D.
10:41No, we're looking to improve there personnel-wise and are continuing to do so right now before the draft as
10:51well as the potential in the draft.
10:53So we want to get better there with personnel.
10:57We've been trying very much to make some trades that haven't worked out for us there, but that will deter
11:05us from getting better there.
11:07There you go.
11:09He says it.
11:09Everything that when we talk about that, they've stopped looking at the free agent market.
11:13They're trying to do trades.
11:14They just haven't found somebody who's willing to play ball yet.
11:18But they're going to acquire a linebacker.
11:19They have to.
11:20They don't have – you cannot say when Schottenheimer says the other day, you know, well, really what we're banking
11:27on is a lot of really great performance from Demo,
11:29and we're excited about Shamar James.
11:31It's like, well, that does not sound like a plan.
11:32That sounds like you're going to be praying a lot.
11:35And that's not – if you want this to be a three-year window, if you want to, like, really
11:39attack this as, like,
11:40we're going to be really competitive, that can't be one of the answers right in the middle of your defense.
11:45Jermod McCoy, with the pro day that everybody was waiting for coming off the ACL tear, not playing last season,
11:52runs a 4-3-8 with a 38-inch vertical jump, 10-7 in the broad at the Tennessee Pro
12:01Day.
12:01Oh, baby.
12:02And you were waving the Vols flag yesterday on Twitter.
12:04It had to, right?
12:05It had to wave the flag because – now, listen, I don't – to be brutally honest, I don't care
12:11about his straight-line speed.
12:12I assume that's, like, the first thing to return.
12:16You know, I care more about the explosiveness, the cutting.
12:18Yeah.
12:18You know, the football.
12:19Football moves.
12:20You know, how many times do you run 40 yards on a straight line on a football field?
12:24You know, the vertical and the broad jump, to me, were more important.
12:30That's an explosive-type maneuver.
12:32You know, but I still – I still need to see him cut.
12:36I still need to see him do those things.
12:37And I'm sure he did them yesterday.
12:39This is the numbers that came out.
12:42This changes nothing for you?
12:43No.
12:44Nope.
12:45I'm out.
12:45And I just – I still don't think it makes a lot of sense for Dallas at 12.
12:51Like, I don't think for them they think it makes a lot of sense.
12:54What if I told you?
12:55What if I told you?
12:56What if I told you?
12:56Because, you know, there's a –
12:58It doesn't make a lot of sense just because of the medical.
13:00Yeah.
13:01Or the window.
13:02Or the window.
13:03Where he – like, who – like, his whole situation, I think, for them, just goes,
13:07that's not – we're not doing that at 12.
13:09I was tuning into Gbag yesterday.
13:12Well.
13:13And Brian brought us.
13:15He got me hype.
13:17And he was spitting fire.
13:19And he's in love with Jermon McCoy.
13:22And he's like – the guy was put on earth with a cornerback body.
13:27He was built for it.
13:28So I went down a little rabbit hole.
13:31He was in love with Joey Harrington, too.
13:32Remember that.
13:33Well, you've been in love with –
13:34He's at a blind spot.
13:36It's quarterback.
13:37I just did that for job.
13:38I did that joke for job because he's always doing it.
13:40And, man, it's got me – it's got me thinking long and hard.
13:45He's a good player.
13:46He's a good player.
13:46He looks fantastic.
13:48He's special.
13:49No, he's a special ability.
13:51Yeah.
13:51Like, if he can put it all together and be a top-tier corner, you'll see.
13:55But, I mean, like, in terms of just raw ability for the position, he's got special traits.
13:59What percent chance do you think that he could play 14 games this year?
14:05I have no idea.
14:06That's why – that's the whole point.
14:07And I can't say I have no idea to somebody I'm picking at 12.
14:10877-881-1053.
14:12Let us know if you're siding with Brian Broaddus with that love for Jermaud McCoy,
14:17who ran the amazing time yesterday at his Pro Day.
