00:00we were just talking about this off the air aggregators have put this into play that other
00:04teams may join the patriots in their pursuit of a.j brown come next week is there any other team
00:11that can make a trade or wants to make a trade for a.j brown other than the page i
00:16mean i the
00:17i don't see the chiefs doing it but the chiefs are at least interesting now i'll tell you why
00:21they would do it and why they wouldn't do it okay the reason the chiefs would do it now
00:29is because the rashi rice situation and i've said this to you guys for two months
00:33that well why wouldn't the eagles and patriots just come to an agreement in principle and announce it
00:40the reason why is because howie roseman is boxed into making this trade after june 1st
00:48for cap purposes right if you're howie why don't you use this to your advantage
00:54why wouldn't you and how do you use it to your advantage well you use it to your advantage in
01:00saying well you know on april 1st maybe there's only one suitor but then teams are going to draft
01:08teams are going to go into may they're going to go into otas they're going to go into minicamp
01:13they're going to be injuries they're going to be different developments they're maybe this team
01:16doesn't like its receiver room as much as they thought they would um you know when they were putting
01:21the roster together back in march and april and things can develop and change so kansas city
01:28things have changed because rashi rice now a guy who they already couldn't really trust right
01:33has shown further like you cannot trust him and so the reason the the chiefs would do it is they
01:40could be saying to themselves here's rashi rice going into a contract year and my god we can't pay him
01:46you know like we were planning on paying him 25 30 35 million dollars a year whatever that number is
01:53and now we can't do that anymore so we've freed up this money where are we going to put this
01:58money
01:58maybe that money goes to aj brown on the flip side they're in a different position than the patriots are
02:03the patriots have a quarterback and a rookie contract they do not and that not only makes it tighter
02:08financially it also means that you need draft picks to fill out your roster because that's where
02:15your cheap labor is going to come from right so they trade trent mcduffie so they can kind of keep
02:21the their their their war chest of draft picks rich and the reason you do that is because you've got
02:28big
02:28numbers at the top of your salary cap with what mahomes is making and with what you know chris jones
02:34at
02:34least for now is making what travis kelsey's made um and as they continue to pay some of the younger
02:39guys like they paid george carloftis they paid creed humphrey they paid trey smith like they're
02:46top heavy so you need the draft picks to fill out the rest of your roster
02:49you
