00:00but look who's here everybody tylon little little fomo little fomo this morning yeah a little fomo
00:08when i heard you i said you know what i just got up shower real quick and i said i'm
00:12gonna drive
00:13on out here guys so i came out here to see you yeah all right they talking a little too
00:18much
00:19junk without me so i damn yeah yeah yeah we're trying to get christian gonzalez's money oh yeah
00:24hey hey i ain't mad at that one so i'm i'm all here to support that yeah give him some
00:29and we'll do a
00:30go fund me if we got to we got to keep him here right what do you what do you
00:35guess the delay is
00:36i mean it's it's a cap situation all the time it's always moving money year in and year out and
00:42um
00:43you know he's one of the priorities so he's going to take a big chunk of that and i think
00:47they're also
00:47looking forward to the future because you eventually you got to pay drake may next year you got to pay
00:52him so you're always looking ahead so you know the the lion's share is going to go to drake may
00:58and then there's a tier system after that but christian gonzalez deserves to be in the top two
01:03three uh if not the highest paid cornerback in in pro football and then drake may when he's up
01:09he's going to be the highest paid quarterback for at least a year or two in pro football that's just
01:13the way it goes who did your agent talk to was it crafter bill um mine was uh usually the
01:19gm you
01:19know andy wisenschuk bill belichick of course he was he had his hands and everything and of course
01:24if you need to get to mr craft he's got the final say so so you know the owner is
01:29kind of protected
01:29you know from the gm and the head coach depending on what the head coach's role is but at the
01:35end of
01:35the day bottom right hand corner it says robert craft so you got to understand that so who does
01:41christian gonzalez believe he's negotiating with rabel wolf or craft you when you're when you're
01:46negotiating with the patriots you're negotiating with mr craft let's let's not make no mistake
01:52about it you might not be sitting in the room with mr craft but everyone else is a voice for
01:58mr
01:58craft because he's gonna have to have the say so at the end of the day whether he's gonna write
02:03the check and sign it week in and week out well what kind of time you know you've been there
02:08we've
02:09all been there like frable's been there what kind of look is that when it's like you know i'm the
02:16best
02:16corner in the league right frapes you do you agree you think he is yes right yes and he's and
02:21he's
02:21young right you know so he he's proving himself and where you're young and you're the top corner
02:26that's when you have your most leverage you know you can have you once you hit 30 years old you
02:31can
02:31still be playing great football but at the end of the day you're on the other side of 30 and
02:36your
02:37leverage goes a little bit so you have to take advantage of it while it's there right now and
02:40christian goes out he's earned the leverage that he has but but like won't they get to a point like
02:45where you know where you go like oh coach rabble you played in this league you know how tough it
02:49is
02:49to get paid why are you fighting harder for me where it's different with bill like bill wasn't on our
02:55side he wasn't on the other side so you would think rabble was in those same type of negotiations
03:00trying to get every penny where you would think christian would be like come on mike is it a
03:05credibility issue for rabble no it's not a credibility because now rabble still works
03:10for mr craft he negotiated his contract to be the head coach there was a negotiation that went on so
03:16you know you have to even though rabble was a player in this he understands what you're going
03:22through but at the end of the day he answers to the same person that you're going to have to
03:26answer
03:26to so you know yes yeah i was a player yes i feel for you but you hired an agent
03:32for a region
03:33let your agent do his job you know what i mean and you know rabble he can have some say
03:38and some
03:38sway when it when it comes to it but at the end of the day it's all going to boil
03:42down to the salary
03:42cap and what mr craft is going to be willing to do and if rabble goes to mr craft and
03:48say i want this
03:49guy let's get it done of course that's going to help but he's not going to he has a lot
03:53of other guys
03:54to deal with you know so when you're the head coach there's 53 other guys that you're going to have
03:58deal with a similar situation ty law the vice president of shots on this show is here with us
04:05yes um wait do you think that he's done that do you think christian gonzalez can say to braves like
04:11hey i need this why won't you go go to bat for me i mean he can hell i went
04:15to mr craft and said
04:16hell i need this you know as a player that's how i was but you know christian is he's he's
04:22he's a
04:22little more quiet than i was and than i am but a little bit yeah yeah but he let us
04:28play do the
04:29talking right he needs to he will but still that's not going to change nothing at the end of the
04:33day
04:34because you have to try to take the emotion out of it when your negotiation is just business that's
04:40what they're going to say it's business so you have to take the business approach too and not get
04:44tied up to the emotional part of it because the football is an emotional game and we put our heart
04:48and soul into it so you will hope that they will recognize that right but is your guess that they
04:53get it done by training camp you would hope that they get it done by training camp but i think
04:58that
04:58you know the way it is now because people understand we used to just hold out wiggy yeah
05:02yeah but i ain't coming right but now you can go and they say look i'm i'm a willing
05:08not participant yeah but i'm willing to still be here to show face before back in the day guys
05:13we just got the hell on out of dodge and we're gonna go home and i'll be at dunkin donuts
05:16while y'all at practice you know i gotta prove a point this way but now oftentimes he would fly
05:21to another country huh not not me in particular but some people do you know what i mean some
05:26some people do that yeah they go they go on an extended vacation but i think the way it is
05:31right
05:31now you just can't risk risk going out there and getting hurt because i remember when i was in the
05:36middle of a contract and we're negotiating it was a play in practice i was going across with a lawyer
05:43malloy and you know that's my brother he almost took me out my knee i thought it was done
05:48it was just a is this a freakish play and i was in the middle of a contract negotiation knowing
05:53i was
05:53going to get through it did bill set him up for that huh did bill tell him to do that
05:57no but you
05:58know that lawyer play with uh reckless abandon and he didn't care who he hit wherever the ball is that
06:04that's where he was going but i just happened to be on the the receiving end of the hit and
06:08i could
06:08have really changed everything because if i'd have blew my knee out right there the contract
06:12negotiation has changed and when you have the leveraging that much on the line you can't go
06:16out there and risk that for nobody i don't care what the emotion is wiggie's lead this morning was
06:21that he has a tiny bit of a growing concern about the defense and the reason why is because you
06:28got
06:28this issue with your second round draft pick the defensive end where you thought he was going to be
06:33a major help now he's got the knee injury him and his contract situation what's he's got to what's
06:38going to happen with him but the bigger issue is is with the gonzalez thing right he's you know how
06:42it is when you got a guy that can lock the other team's best player you always talk about it
06:47where
06:47you go is where i go right and the business part of it we know what the deal starts at
06:54so i guess i'm
06:55my concern is if you know what trent mcduffie got he's the highest paid player isn't like that the
07:02starting point why hasn't there even like why are they waiting to even go like because it's not
07:08like he has to set the market into what they don't know what the number is what are they waiting
07:12on
07:12when the number's already kind of right there 100 million give them one-on-one they're looking at
07:17future contracts future contract future contracts like i said you have to save money for drake may
07:24i don't know who else is coming up you don't have to save money ty they don't have to save
07:27any money
07:27they the la rams are spending 400 million dollars and that's the la rams that's the la rams owner
07:34what he's willing to do right i mean you got to think patriots have had a lot that's that's the
07:38manager of the football team in high school yelling at you yeah yeah just high law would never accept
07:44the owner living saving money are you kidding me i didn't say i would accept it i'm just saying
07:49that's just the way it is i'm not saying that you're supposed to accept or take anything that they
07:55offer that's what a negotiation coming at but it is business at the end of the day and what the
08:00team
08:00is looking at is they're looking at the future at the end of day we're going to have to make
08:04drake may
08:05probably the highest paid quarterback in the football we have to save money somewhere do we
08:10save it a couple million through christian gonzalez we're going to have to make him one of the highest
08:14do we sue the town of fox and then you got aj brown he came in and he got paid
08:19so there is a
08:21salary cap that we all have to deal with and it depends on when your contract is up
08:25that dictates some of your leverage as well you know what i mean but doesn't it like you know like
08:29if you're in that locker room and let's say you are drake may yeah and you're going damn they they're
08:34dragging it out with gonzalez so they're going to do the same for me because i know i and this
08:39is the
08:39this is i'm going to cut you off right now hell no they ain't going to do that with drake
08:42may
08:43that's the quarterback but here's the difference though it's a difference here's the difference that i
08:47think right and depending on the year um drake may has do you believe this organization is going to go
08:59you're worth more in full contract than patrick mahomes and you're worth more than 250 million
09:08and guaranteed that josh allen go so so i hope they will they they didn't do it with tom brady
09:14but i hope they will but you know they never do so you get my point greg like if if
09:18you're drake
09:19main you want to be the highest paid quarterback aren't you going well i want what mahomes and allen
09:25but do you believe they think he's worth it see the difference is with the he's with the patriots
09:30organization and you ever know with the support case they always go back to a precedent right yeah a
09:36precedent was set already with the greatest quarterback and greatest football player of all time
09:41right in tom brady with the new england patriots so the precedent was set so of course they're
09:46probably going to try to say hey look what you can be if we have this and if i was
09:51on the other end of
09:52it if i was robert craft i would do the same thing so basically say you little discount and exactly
09:58we
09:58can put all this stuff around you and we can be a dynasty right i would say the same thing
10:02but but if
10:03i'm in drake may's position i would listen to that because he's the quarterback in the other position
10:09i ain't trying to hit the head what you're talking about mr craft because you're gonna cut me you
10:12know what i mean that's that's how you got to look at the quarterback has a longer leash period you
10:19know
10:19when you you got to get what you can why you can't it's not being greedy i said if you
10:23take you know
10:24rodney harris for example he could have got more going somewhere else rodney was on the other end and
10:30say you know what i am trying to win you know i want to make my money but i'm trying
10:34to win but he got
10:35offered more i think to go to the broncos at the time a lot of people have gotten offered more
10:39but they wanted to come and be with a winner but they they made their money now you get some
10:45people
10:46like we got championships so guess what we want our money so it's a different it's a different
10:51dynamic when you have won championships and now that you're a free agent you're trying to go
10:56solidify your money for the family and and things like that so everyone has a their own story but when
11:01you're homegrown here in new england you've been drafted by new england you've earned your right
11:07you would hopefully the home team would pay you right you know what i mean and not have to go
11:11elsewhere with jonathan in the room now increasingly do you think that precedent maybe has a different
11:17weight in it like do you think it might be different if jonathan is having more say in these
11:22things i mean eventually you know jon is going to take over he's always been you know very involved
11:27with it and you know if you know jon and everyone knows that when it comes to numbers you know
11:32he's
11:32he's smart he ain't no damn dummy you know what i mean so he's going to look at it you
11:36know in totality
11:37he's going to look do you fit the patriot brand you know i mean can we afford you are you
11:42going to
11:42be able to play at this level for the for for for the future you know what i mean so
11:47it's gonna
11:49it's it's not it's gonna change somewhat because he might rule with a different hand than mr craft
11:54i mean right i mean he's the younger one so he's probably going to put his foot down and say
11:58hey this is the bottom line this is what it is i don't know i have never had to negotiate
12:03with uh with jon but you know from what i hear you know he's not going to be an easy
12:09one you know
12:09what i mean but he's going to be fair tyla everybody hey guys hey real quick y'all know we
