00:00Shout out to Gervon Dexter, got a new contract overnight, four-year, $78 million extension,
00:07$46.5 million guaranteed.
00:08That's a big contract.
00:10Yeah, man.
00:10That's a nice contract.
00:11There were some rumors when they traded for him about getting him a contract extension
00:17and things like that.
00:17Obviously, Ian Cunningham, familiar with him, Chicago, and he's played really good, man.
00:22He's been really good.
00:23He's still a real young player that you can still build around and put pieces around the
00:29guy, but he's been phenomenal since he's been in Atlanta.
00:31Yeah.
00:32I mean, I think we talked about this with Ian Cunningham before the season started and asked
00:37him where he feels like the biggest, most obvious difference to start this year versus
00:42when they took over the roster was, and he said a whole bunch of different stuff, but
00:44I think he got around to saying the interior defensive line.
00:47To me, that was the most obvious place that they made changes and kind of put their fingerprints
00:52on it.
00:52I've been begging for a couple years.
00:53And they did it.
00:54I mean, Mason Smith has been fantastic in the middle of that line.
00:57Gervon Dexter, like we're talking about with this contract.
00:58What's the other kid?
00:59Cam?
00:59Yeah, Cam Thomas.
01:00Cam Thomas.
01:01I wouldn't be surprised.
01:02I know they got all this cap space and everything.
01:04I wouldn't be surprised they locked these guys up.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Because they're all young.
01:06They're all young.
01:07I would not be surprised if they didn't lock all these guys up.
