00:00My favorite thing about it, Joe, might just be that I feel like this position has been a little bit
00:04of a Band-Aid position.
00:07There have been a lot of stopgaps, a lot of one-year ideas, flyers,
00:11and now it's locked up for a couple of years with Bishop there,
00:16and I'd imagine he'll get a new contract when the time comes.
00:19And Hooker has term on the deal, which means these two will get a lot of time on task together
00:25to kind of grow as a tandem.
00:27Yeah, no question. I think that's a really good call-out.
00:30Jordan Poirier and Micah Hyde obviously were a legendary pair at safety for Buffalo,
00:35and as they transitioned out and had some decline in age on them,
00:41it's been a bit of a challenge to get the right mix,
00:44and Cole Bishop has certainly looked like a guy that can fit one of those spots,
00:48but we've also seen what it looks like when they don't have the right guy next to him,
00:53whether that's been C.J. Garner-Johnson or Taylor Rapp last season.
00:57And so hopefully this is the guy that gives the Bills a pair of safeties that can be the key
01:04communicators and leaders of this defense.
01:06And so, yes, that's a good call-out.
01:08Cole Bishop is extension eligible after this season.
01:11It'll be interesting to see if they do that early.
01:14I know Bean typically likes to do the deals early, but if they want to buy some more time and
01:18really see the two together,
01:20that's another benefit of Amani Hooker as he signed through 20-28.
01:23And so you can, I guess, maybe check this one off the box of things that the Bills have to
01:28be concerned about addressing on this roster long-term.
01:30Let's try it again.
01:30Let's try it again.
01:30To try it again today.
01:30You know what I want to do.
