00:00Let's go to Tampa here.
00:01What's your takeaway on how this thing's going to be resolved
00:04with the Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield?
00:06Take a look at this.
00:07So they lose Mike Evans.
00:08He's now in San Francisco.
00:10He said, I wanted to go to a Super Bowl contender.
00:12Vita Veya wants to go to San Francisco now
00:15and play with Kyle Shanahan as well.
00:18And now Baker Mayfield's pissed off.
00:20I mean, what's going on with Jason Light and the Buccaneers?
00:22And do you think they get this thing done?
00:25Stop being cheap.
00:28Look, and I know that people are going to say,
00:30they offered him $100 million for two years.
00:33That's an amazing contract.
00:34Yes, it is for any normal human being.
00:37Okay, it's an ungodly amount of money.
00:39It's an insane amount of money.
00:41In the quarterback market, the way it's supposed to be run,
00:45look at Brock Purdy's contract from a year ago.
00:48It's five years, $260 million,
00:52with $150 or $160 guaranteed.
00:55Is Baker Mayfield as good as Brock Purdy?
00:58You know, kind of six, one, half dozen of the other.
01:01I might take, you know, Baker Mayfield on certain days.
01:04I might take Brock Purdy.
01:05But that's the going market.
01:07Like, why does Baker Mayfield have to play on another make-good contract
01:13when he's already played on two make-good contracts?
01:16He's looking at it going, look, you can pay me or not pay me,
01:20but I'll go out in the marketplace a year from now and I'll do fine.
01:23I'll get five years.
01:24I'll get $260, $270 million.
01:27Somebody will guarantee me $150 or $160 million.
01:31That's just the way it's going to be, as long as I have a decent year.
01:34Now, he'd rather not take the risk of getting hurt and all those other things,
01:38but stop trying to get away with a two-year deal.
01:41That's not how this works.
01:43And I know there are all sorts of other people who sit there and go,
01:46you've got to draw a line on these quarterbacks
01:49and you can't overpay these guys and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:52Okay, that sounds great.
01:55Why don't you try being the Dolphins for the last 26 years?
02:00Why don't you try and be Cleveland for the last 30 years?
02:04Why don't you be the Jets for the last 30 years or whatever?
02:07It's been where you have no franchise quarterback.
02:10When you get a guy who's a good player, you've got to figure out how to keep him.
02:15You know, that's just the way it goes.
02:18And gambling on next year is always just a gamble on next year.
02:25This goes to the Glazers, like you just said.
02:28They're not all in on Baker Mayfield like they were all in on Brady.
02:32You know, they're not all in on Baker Mayfield.
02:35Let's not put let's not put him in that.
02:37That's not the discussion.
02:38Okay.
02:39I mean, but they brought assets in for Brady.
02:43They're not bringing assets in.
02:44They're leaving.
02:45Assets are leaving under Baker Mayfield.
02:50I understand, but I'm not sure that I'm all that, you know, worried about keeping Mike Evans on a long
02:55-term deal.
02:55I'm not, you know, Vita Vey, you know, like the mileage is there, right?
03:0131.
03:0231.
03:03Yeah.
03:04And he's, I mean, that's not a position where guys hold up.
03:06You know, you played that position.
03:08Not that exact position, not that exact way, but you know what that, that's a meat grinder position.
03:15Guys, guys, you know, end up out of the league a lot faster.
03:17I mean, you don't end up with a lot of guys like Vince Wilfork who play that position for 11
03:22or 12 years.
03:24So are you going to invest a ton of capital in Vita Vey?
03:27No, you're not.
03:28And he's, but he's pushing for a new contract because he knows he needs one now because he can't afford
03:33to wait.
03:35So, you know, this is just, this is contracts.
03:38This is modern contracts in the NFL.
03:40And the reason I don't compare Brady to Baker is that Brady and Baker are in two very different places
03:47in their career.
03:48Okay.
03:48And, and Brady could afford to take less to go prove the point that he wanted to prove.
03:56And he was not looking for a five or five or six year contract to make all the money that
04:02he needed to make, you know, in his contract.
04:05Because basically Brady was looking at, I mean, Brady's life is so easy from a financial standpoint.
04:12He ain't ever going broke.
04:14I mean, come on.
04:16So there's two very different lives.
