00:00Today, Christian Gonzalez was on the field.
00:02Full pads. No red jersey. No red contact jersey.
00:06Does that mean deal is happening?
00:10And there's progress on a deal?
00:13I would say no.
00:14Really?
00:16Yeah, because I think the deal gets out probably at the end of next week.
00:19So you're going to need a couple practice days with him here.
00:21He's not going to play any game. They're not going to play any starters.
00:23So there's no risk like, hey, we've got to get him ready to play.
00:25Well, then why is he back out there, though?
00:26Seattle prep starts.
00:30What do you think, they're planning for the Browns this week?
00:32No, but without his money, why would he go back to practicing?
00:35Because he's healthy.
00:38Well, you don't believe there's an injury?
00:40No, I don't believe there's an injury that required him to be out for a week and a half.
00:44No, I don't. I'm not buying that.
00:46I didn't buy it in the beginning. I'm not buying it now.
00:48I know that they are beating the drum that it was just an injury.
00:52They're telling all their friends in the meeting, it's legitimately an injury.
00:55Everybody I talk to, it's an injury.
00:57Sure.
00:59Yep.
01:00He went through the protocol.
01:01Yep.
01:02Prepare to play.
01:06I think it means they're making progress on a deal.
01:08Good.
01:08That's what I think it is.
01:09That's why I think he's back out there.
01:11And that they've figured out what the framework of that deal is.
01:15So you think it's going to come in over Witherspoon, right?
01:17I think in some fashion it will.
01:19It has to at some point, right?
01:20At least in one way it will.
01:22I don't know that it will set all the benchmarks, but I think...
01:26I don't think it's going to blow it out of the water.
01:28Okay.
01:28I think you're probably right.
01:33So say it's a tick...
01:34Say it's just a tick bigger.
01:36Are you going to kill the team?
01:38No.
01:38Why would you do that?
01:39Well, I'm sure there are people who will be there.
01:40What's a drag of your feet for?
01:42Because it's cheap.
01:42It's cheap.
01:43You're going to drag your feet.
01:44Could have got it done.
01:44The deal was done a week and a half ago.
01:47Why did it take almost two weeks to just give him a tick above what he got?
01:50If they give him more money in every regard, why would you call the team cheap?
01:53I wouldn't.
01:53I'm just saying, get ready for it.
01:55People will do that.
01:55People will do that.
01:56Well, people will...
01:57Even if he sets...
01:58It's going to be so much more.
01:59Even if he sets the market, they're going to call the team cheap?
02:02That doesn't seem fair.
02:03I won't call them here...
02:05I won't call them that here.
02:07No.
02:09I've heard people talk about it this way on other shows.
02:11Well, no.
02:11They've talked about them being cheap in the fact that there's no deal done.
02:15Not that if the deal gets done and it's setting a new benchmark, I think that's a different
02:20conversation at that point.
02:22I think there's criticism of the team for not having a deal done at this point, considering
02:26that all of the eligible guys in the league...
02:29What is it?
02:3011?
02:30Was it 11 guys that were in this spot?
02:32I think the number's 11.
02:3310 of the 11 have signed.
02:34Yeah.
02:35And he's the last one to go.
02:37Yeah.
02:38That's what I think it refers to.
02:39I think it's going to happen.
02:42You
