00:00things did a great job for you but do you think teams were like uh we need to worry about
00:04steph
00:04diggs no i think what happened is is that producers and executives at espn and elsewhere have realized
00:09that the last remaining vestige of people that engage on these uh talk shows are people that
00:15root for boston teams and so and people around the country hate boston because of all the success
00:21the teams have had the last two decades so they go out of like mad dog yesterday was like just
00:25going off against the red sox it's like i don't it's they're in the middle of the most historic
00:30run of the history of the sport yeah and and yet like the patriots are ahead of schedule we all
00:35agree right no matter who they were playing yes nobody had them in the super bowl no and now they
00:40had an off season where they got better and look at how great right they were about steph diggs yes
00:44well i was that was going to be my lead is that steph diggs signed a deal yesterday
00:48with mego's washington commanders 12 million dollars a year um and i i just you know i love it
01:00i i mean would you not if you could have had him for 12 million dollars a year would you
01:07not have
01:07tried to get that deal done or were they just i mean aj was what they were doing and they're
01:12focused
01:12on that well they got romeo dobbs it feel like why would we give somebody one year 12 you know
01:17up to
01:1812 million dollars when we know there's a wait if you had the option before knowing anything and
01:22you could have diggs for one year at 12 or what they paid dobbs you would oh yeah yeah i
01:26would
01:26i'm saying yeah i would but i'm saying the way that they looked at it they probably looked at it
01:31like
01:31all right we're going after aj we feel like we can have dobbs for a number of years he's younger
01:37and
01:38we feel like he can give us the same type of production that maybe diggs gave us and we're going
01:43to go
01:43out and get that legitimate number one receiver why not have all three i mean then it becomes
01:49it was all nonsense talking about how great of a leader he was they were just rubbing his back if
01:54they really felt the way they said they felt about step diggs he'd still be here at 12 million
01:57dollars well that's i mean diggs at 20 million i understand you being reluctant to do that diggs
02:03at 12 million like i think i would have done that you would have done that but you'd have to
02:08say
02:08if you're paying aj brown and you're paying romeo dobbs you are you and that you think about this
02:14you got matt collins we're talking about kayshawn booty do you really think that the patriots are
02:20going to be like all right we're going to give diggs one year for 12 million when they already got
02:24a
02:24loaded wide receiver room and if you're step diggs isn't it better to take one year 12 million with
02:29the commanders who their wide receiver room is in shambles and but their team their overall roster
02:35isn't as good either if you want to win it's better to be with the patriots i know but do
02:38you think
02:38and i don't know him personally i think he wants to win but if he has an opportunity to be
02:43the guy
02:43in washington and maybe get more money next year versus being on a good team and being you know like
02:51i don't but that's the issue i don't think he's going to make more money next year like i don't
02:54think there's going to be a bigger contract down the line for him as you saw this offseason you might
02:59be right about thousand yards last year coming off an acl injury and he's only getting one year for 12
03:05million right i think he's kind of just going to be bouncing around with one year deals from now
03:09look at what he got after the surgery before anybody knew he was healthy then he takes a team
03:14to a super bowl and he gets a fraction of that yeah even if he has a great year he's
03:18not going
03:18to get anywhere you might be right sean when you say takes a team to the super bowl do you
03:23mean all
03:24the uh baby mamas that he had there or are you referring to something i i thought my c-section
03:29line
03:29a couple weeks ago was pretty good but yes uh it's an interesting offseason i wonder what that tmz
03:34reporting has anything to do with um a lack of interest well i mean it's possible that uh certainly
03:40with the patriots that maybe they were just done with the they didn't want to deal with the outside
03:44stuff that comes along with him i think it was i think it was more of you know do you
03:48think he would
03:49have been happy in his role as like the fourth guy i don't think he had options no no no
03:53i'm not
03:54he clearly he did with the commanders right so they offered him 15 million one option but all you need
03:59is one option where i think it's like it's k sean booty for example do you think he'd be happy
04:04do you
04:04think he's going to be happy being here knowing he's like the fourth option or would he welcome a
04:12trade anywhere and have an opportunity fight for the second guy or even the first guy if that's the
04:19opportunity being so late in your career having the possibility to get back to a super bowl and
04:23actually maybe win this time i think that outweighs the fact that you're you know the number three
04:28instead of the number two like i think that's no i i agree with you shime and i think it's
04:32more
04:32about the personality of because you could have just cut k sean booty at that point you can lay
04:36hey man have you have your way you can go wherever you want we're bringing in steph diggs our receiver
04:41room is now aj brown romeo dobbs steph diggs matt collins like yeah you might have one of the best
04:47receiver rooms in football at that point do you think the craigslist ad is already up like seeking
04:52personal chef in washington dc must be smoke show let me tell you definitely that's his hometown too
05:00oh believe me he's probably already got a bunch of them lined up
