END of an ERA? No more chance of a Stefon Diggs and Patriots reunion? Commanders?? Could the former Patriots' WR, Stefon Diggs, be headed to Washington D.C.? Does Diggs want to play for his hometown?
Can the Patriots pay their "BIG 3" of Drake Maye, A.J. Brown and Christian Gonzalez? Will they pay all 3?
Transcript
00:00he said to his hometown news station in washington dc may dash those hopes because he
00:07spoke with fox 5 there and said he never realized how many fans he had back home until he was
00:17a free
00:17agent and people started asking him to come home and he said that uh quote we are kind of figuring
00:25it out working through some things and i would love to be home and play in front of the fans
00:33that i
00:33used to play in front of as a young adolescent in college and do something for the city so uh
00:39i am
00:40hoping that things work out so i know you're happy about that as a commander's fan mega he misses the
00:46go-go wiggy he wants to get back he wants to get back some of that go-go oh i
00:51would be so happy
00:52as a commander's fan because i i thought he did a great job up here i was bummed out when
00:58they
00:58released him i understood why the patriots did it from a money perspective but yeah i think a lot
01:04of people down there not that anybody up here cares but a lot of people down there would welcome him
01:08back with open arms well i mean you know you you you pair him alongside of um the hell's his
01:13name
01:13terry mclaurin that you have down there um jayden daniels you obviously you could see what he did for
01:19drake may jayden daniels would have a valuable target and digs who's reliable who kind of can
01:26work the middle of the field and that you know quarterbacks love that so daniels needs that bounce
01:30back yeah especially down with the injuries patriots fans would rather see this than him go back to
01:34the bills right there was like some buzz around that yeah he's out of sight out of mind listen if
01:39they're not gonna if they're being cheap when it comes to or concerned when it comes to paying
01:45the big three they're not gonna pay you're not gonna add steph dig so jones asked a great question
01:50yesterday when i was listening to those guys about why suddenly it's multiple beat people who are
01:58suggesting that the patriots have some trepidation about paying uh aj brown drake and christian gonzalez
02:07big three wise so i that's organizational uh whispering so they're so they're patriots are
02:13putting that out there yep in case they can't sign christian gonzalez it's just it may be test balloon
02:19okay i i don't think it'll work i mean if it does if you think they can't afford them you're
02:24a moron
02:25well you you've already you're already committed to paying aj brown correct right no because they say
02:30that the new story yesterday wiggs was that you gave him a first and a fifth and if he's gone
02:33after this
02:34season then it's a waste you have to extend him to make that trade valuable which i would say is
02:38idiotic right let's see how he plays and then you're not doubly invested in a guy with both
02:45graphics and equity but don't you think if you're giving up a first round pick for a guy that you're
02:50expecting that guy to be here for multiple years yeah is that what they're saying that you have to
02:55extend him yeah so i mean which i think that wait why do you have to extend yeah he's already
02:59on the
02:59contract he's on a contract for four years if he's gonna if he's gonna ask for an upgraded
03:03contract he only has four million guaranteed next year like if the question is whether he'll come
03:08back to the table and say like hey guys like look what i did this year for you yeah i
03:12mean you can
03:12throw him some extra cash but you don't have to like completely rip up the contract because he has a
03:16pretty good deal that he's sitting on i'm telling you this is not my opinion this is what is being
03:20whispered by the beat so i would think the aj brown for multiple years i think whether they figuring
03:26out a contract give him a little bit more of a sign of bonus whatever that is um i'm i
03:31think that
03:31that's something they're gonna do drake may you'd be stupid not to pay a franchise quarterback
03:39sorry twitch chat is asking me is digs gonna be the x or y receiver with the commanders and i
03:44said
03:44you're not allowed probably a lot of z is it if it's commanders can i i guess if it's commanders
03:50you would know where terry mcclorn plays better than asking me so i'm just was mcclorn a z or an
03:55x last
03:56year mcclorn was not doing a lot last year we'll have to dive into the all 22 he was hurt
04:01and so
04:01the the thing is is it's the gonzalez right you're gonna pay drake may you're obviously gonna pay
04:08aj brown or figure out whatever that new money might be is it's gonzalez like yes it is and i
04:15think that's why there's more than one person who is speculating about it because the team is
04:23throwing that out there that would make me so mad as a patriots fan that they just so mad so
04:28you
04:28probably won't they're suing foxborough right now like i mean there is no bottom yeah they're suing
04:34foxborough because they've added a whole bunch of entertainment licenses that the craft group has to
04:40pay for every time they do an event so they're suing them for a million bucks i think the town
04:47so you it's just so i i'm sorry i i think they're right in that though that town has
04:52like 12 beautiful fire stations and uh you know the golf cart washers that the crafts have paid for
05:01like i think that's i i think it's good that they put their foot down a little bit here or
05:06there i
05:06understand that what well what do you mean curtis like just because i like they brought how much they
05:13bring in tax revenue to that city that didn't exist before them of course and it's great but it's a
05:19little litigious like i'm sorry like robert craft captain i sat on the aluminum benches suing the
05:27town is a little much for me isn't this how rich people stay rich they look after their money very
05:32carefully so he wouldn't lose his wealth if this no but i'm saying like this is you know this is
05:36what
05:36rich people do they make sure that everything is well why don't you ask he's the rich person because
05:42what ends up happening is like oh if we do this then somebody else is gonna you know it's like
05:46that's how the rich get richer so so every team sued the city in which they play no i mean
05:51to greg's
05:51point if you're if you have a stadium there you're probably the money that you're getting from the
05:57they hold them for ransom every time the crafts want to do something they to to improve the stadium
06:02for fans right improve the experience for fans they go sure you can do it but you got to pay
06:08us
06:08another million bucks and i like so they're squeezing the patriots and just as much as
06:13the patriots might try to squeeze them a little bit it's so i don't that really doesn't affect me
06:18the thing that i look at is also in the twitch chat and elsewhere people are like oh greg's on
06:24the
06:24payroll over there i'm just expressing my opinion we're happy to have the hill man down at patriot
06:29place you've been with us since the beginning oh that is not there's nothing to do with there's an
06:34us oh look at splitsville i'm allowed i'm allowed to have an opinion so let me ask you this to
06:43kind
06:43of further the christian gonzalez conversation yes what how would it how would would you feel
06:49because this is a road that they could go down they could just say well you're on the contract you
06:53got to play this year and then boom next year we're going to franchise tag you was he going to
06:56play
06:56that was a question asked of him he did not answer it i think ultimately you're gonna play
07:03because when's the last time we play without a contract well when's the last time we've seen
07:06somebody go without a new contract i mean he's under the he's getting four million a year yeah
07:11when's the last time we've seen somebody hold out for the whole season didn't somebody just do it
07:15for half a season because of some stipulation i think you got to like eight weeks and then after
07:20that it's like okay okay so do that this year and then franchise him and then that's what they could
07:24do they could franchise him the following and chime correct me if i'm wrong they could franchise in
07:29the year after that you could franchise twice technically yeah didn't that happen with dak
07:33prescott i believe uh i'm not 100 you might have gotten franchised a second time but then gotten
07:38the contract on the franchise tag and obviously the player is going to be extremely upset but if the
07:43patriots wanted to be a-holes about it which could this be a road that they're potentially could go
07:48down can they not like you guys talked about you had elliot wolf saying the way i'm gonna run
07:54this front office is like the packers we draft our talent we develop our talent and then we pay
07:59our talent well this is the third part of that deal well i mean elliot wolf said he's the best
08:03at
08:03the position that there is in the league so he gotta he did yeah holy guacamole he did right yeah
08:09he said
08:09it yeah no he said not so long he said it at maybe the combine or one of those things
08:13where
08:13what a great second round pick nail this
08:15what yeah
