Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume the ADULTO Championships. That should always do the expectation.
All right, man, at you go ahead, Welcome back to
the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know I talk about
Seahawks and Niners and the teams that I played for,
(00:22):
But man, this Cowboys drama has got me thinking, what
is Jerry doing now? Micah Parsons comes out and tells
the truth. Michael Parsons's day was transparent in those statements
that he released. Hey, didn't want to do this. I
wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys my whole career.
It's my dad's team. I wanted to play for these
(00:43):
great fans. I tried my best to get it done.
I didn't want to have these closed doors negotiations with
the staff. I didn't feel like that was right. And
he's right. Unless you're representing yourself, which I've done, then
don't talk to a player by himself without his agent
president day. He's not up in himself. And even if
you do, fine, cool. If that's what you did with
CD and Dak, cool, But eventually you got to their agents.
(01:06):
You got to Todd France, you got to you got
to Toy Dandy, you got to their agents at athletes
first and Uh, Todd France I think is uh, he's
athletes first, and and and uh Toy and Toy Dandy
is uh and CIA. So what's crazy about this whole
(01:29):
thing is the quote that Jerry said. And I want
to say it was April, and I want to quote
it because I don't want to. I don't want to
get this wrong. I don't I do not want to
get this wrong because it was so ridiculous then and
it just seems like insanity right now, after after everything
that Mike has says, Jerry Jones says, the agent is
(01:53):
not a factor here. It's not something to worry about.
And I don't know his name now, mind you, Michaeh.
Parsons agent was just named the most powerful agent in
the NFL, best agent, whatever you want to say. But
he just got an award for being the best. To say,
you don't know the name of the most powerful or
(02:15):
best quote unquote, you know it. Everybody has their opinion,
but this is what he's award he's been given. But
you don't know his name, Jerry, seems seems odd to me.
That seems odd. That seems like you're you're insinuating something.
You're insinuating you can do this without him. But you
didn't do that for Dak. You didn't do that for CD.
You didn't do that with Trey Diggs. You didn't do
(02:36):
it without their agents in the room. And and even
toy Dandy was praising Jerry for how much he cares
about his players, given given CD Lamb financial advice about
his future and planning for the future. But Michah Parsons,
you you do. We not see the same way, Jerry,
because I haven't heard you before. Cedee Lamb got his contract,
(02:59):
saying hey, CDE did this or CD is this or CD?
I don't know if we're gonna pay him because of
A B and C CD did a great job, played
to an all pro level, got paid, Dak Prescott did
a good job, played to an all pro level, got paid.
Michael Parsons three are Trey Diggs played to an all
pro level, got paid. Michael Parsons three time first team
(03:20):
All Pro, still unpaid, unpaid, and his teammates are saying
pay him. Other execs around the league thought it was,
I mean, beyond a given to pay Michael Parsons. What
does Jerry know that we don't know. He's not a
bad kid. It doesn't seem on the outside looking in.
I haven't heard his teammates say anything about him. You
(03:42):
haven't heard any scandals come out about Michael Parsons. You're
not hearing. Oh man, he's a he's a cancer in
the locker room. All you've heard is he's grown as
a leader. He's a true competitor. He goes out there
and puts it all on the line every single Sunday, Monday, Thursday,
whatever they play, he puts it all on the line.
Is he a perfect place, No, but he wrecks every
game that he's in. He jumps off the tape every
(04:04):
single time that he's in. He's one of the top ten,
top fifteen players in the National Football League. There's no
question about that. Is beyond contestation. So what does Jerry
Jones know that we don't know? Because I don't get this.
He may Deack the highest paid you made, Cede Lamb,
the highest paid you made Trade Diggs. If I'm not mistaken,
(04:24):
the highest pay or the right up there with them.
So why not Micah? His accolades stack up with everybody else's.
He's not injured, he's healthy right now from what I
can understand, But he just doesn't want to practice because
obviously there's a contract dispute and it makes no sense.
There are probably thirty one other teams that would take
him now, not every team could take him for forty
one million, which is what he will demand and what
(04:46):
he will deserve because you waited this long. You could
have got him with Nicholas John Posa's deal, which was
I think thirty four million a year. That sounds like
a bargain now compared to what people are getting now
you gotta go above TJ. Watts forty one and some
change like why why wait this long? Why why keep
(05:07):
making improve it? Why keep making improve it? And then
you now you're making it an issue between fans and players.
Now fans will sit there and look at it player
and be like Marin, what is he talking? He's not
doing everything he can for the team. Yes he is.
He's done everything he could for the Dallas Cowboys. Fans like,
I know, you guys probably don't feel great about me,
and I you know, it is what it is. But
(05:30):
Michael Parsons is a great player who's done a great
job for your team and deserves the money that he's
asking for. He deserves it. He deserved it years ago.
He'd probably would be looking for an extension at this
point if you would have just signed him when you
were supposed to sign him, or an extension next year.
But if you're gonna keep holding him hostage, I just
(05:50):
don't know. It just it's a bad look. It's a
bad look on it. And everybody's talking about man, our
team needs to not not many teams have forty one
million in open space or the ability to create enough
money to be able to sign park Michael Parsons to
an extension. Bring him in immediately now, and especially the contenders,
(06:10):
especially the contenders. Everybody's talking about Man, the Philadelphia Eagle's
gonna gonna pull a fast one again. I don't think so.
I mean, Howie is a magician. He does a phenomenal job,
one of the best in the history of the game.
Has has put together incredible teams. But if you tell
me Howie Roseman can get Jerry Jones and trade of
Michael Parsons within a division coming fresh off a Super
(06:30):
Bowl win, like, oh my god, wait to hear what
I got to say after that day, that would be insanity,
so you would assume he has to get at least
out of the East. So then you you it leaves
you a lot of NFC teams, a lot of AFC
team But where does Michael want to go and what
what can he get done? Who has the space? All
that matters And I'm not gonna speculate and get into
(06:52):
all those details. But why are we here? Why are
we even talking about this? Because only Jerry can put
us in a boss when we're one of his best players.
And it's not even be debatable. It is sitting here saying, Wow,
you guys don't want me. And I've been saying it
for years that I don't understand why they aren't paying him.
What did he do to Jerry Jones? What has he done?
(07:15):
What is Michael Parsons done to Jerry Jones for him
not to want to pay him major money going forward?
Because I don't see it. I don't see the problem.
I don't see the issue. I don't see the hesitation
because he hasn't done anything to make you want to hesitate.
He's a great player, he's leader, he's done everything he's
supposed to do. But having the conversations without his agent
(07:38):
there and then thinking that, hey, we agreed to something
and we're not even going to involve the agent and
whatever the agent said, we're not even going to answer
his calls because we agreed to something without you. That
sounds beyond ridiculous. And Jerry, you wouldn't advise your own
son to do that without his lawyer and his representation present. Cool.
(08:01):
You can talk about subtle details. You maybe talk about
an outline. Hey, we're trying to give you two hundred million. Yep,
four years, two hundred million. Cool, I hear you. Jared,
that sounds great. Man, highest paid defensive non quarterback in
the league. Cool, Jerry, that sounds great. Just talk to
my agent, iron out the details and we can go
ahead with it. But you don't want to do that
(08:22):
for some reason. And that's where the rub is. That's
the details we need, Like why don't you want his
agent to be there? What details were in there that
you knew that David mulla Ghetto would see and say,
hold up, this ain't happening. It's definitely not happening like that,
because that's how shady it sounds. When you said, hey,
we had an agreement in place, but when the agent calls.
(08:44):
I don't answer the phone. It sounds like you got
something up your sleep, Jerry, and I want to know
what's up your sleep because it doesn't make sense to
anyone else, and it's now playing out in the public
right before another season, promising season. Got your best players
are healthy, You're good. I think the left tackle might
(09:04):
have got a little banged up, but knock on what
he's gonna be okay. But you're healthy. Going into season,
there's hope in the fan base. There's excitement, as it
should be going into the football year for every team.
You should feel good, we're a chance at the super Bowl. Cool.
Let the season, you know, kind of put your fire out,
but cool. You can have those expectations. But the amount
(09:26):
of vitro and drama that Jerry Jones and Steven Jones
are are injecting into this franchise before it even starts
just just crazy. Why how does this? I see in
no world that this benefits your football team. Then no
world that this makes you a better football team, an
easier football team to root for, It makes your best
(09:46):
players happier and want to play for you. It does
the exact opposite. You have CD Lamb sitting there like,
come on, man, pay him. What are you you owing?
Like you are creating the vision within a team, not
against other teams, but against you because how you're because
(10:06):
of how you're speaking about your players, because of how
you're treating your players. And it's bad business, man, it's
bad business. And I you know, you would think wisdom
comes with age, but it's clearly going the other way
for Jerry, and I don't get it. I really don't.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
In another trade situation, Terry McLaurin in the NFC East
has requested a trade from the Washington Commanders. He wants
to be paid like the top receiver in the National
Football League, which would put him over forty million, and
it's something that I think the Washington commanders are unwilling
to do. And you understand both sides of it. You
(12:38):
understand from Terry mclaurin's side, Hey, you brought another guy in.
And I knew that once they brought Depo in and
the amount of money he was making, it would it
would cause an issue with Terry McLaurin. I said that
when it happened. I said, I just don't know how
Terry will respond to this, and everybody told me I
was crazy. I said, I don't know, because receivers are
(12:59):
that way, like you bringing somebody else here. You don't
think I'm that great, then show me how much you
value me by paying me the amount of money. So
then I'll sleep calm at night. I'll sleep good at night. Hey,
that's not it's not my world. I didn't create it.
That's just how it is, and that's how it's playing out.
Terry McLarin wants security, he wants respect from the Washington commanders.
They are saying they're unwilling to trade him, and they're
(13:20):
unwilling to meet his demands. They're willing to put him
in the thirty three thirty four million dollar range that
DK Metcalf just signed for. He's unwilling to accept those
kind of numbers. Is there another team that is willing
to also to not only trade potentially at first, well,
the receiver market has been different. I mean maybe at
third and the fifth. What you're gonna have to because
(13:42):
you're gonna have to pay him so much the draft
value will likely go down. But on top of that,
you're gonna have to pay him what he wants, So
you're gonna have to agree to an extension before the
trade ever comes through along with the draft compensation. And
maybe the Commanders are gonna ask for something crazy because
you're doing it at a point in the season that
you can can't necessarily like find to his replacement. You're
(14:03):
not gonna be able to replace his production, his his
veteran presence, you know who he's been to the Washington
Commanders over these years, instantly unless you get a player
of equal value. But even then you're talking about getting
him up to speed with the playbook, the culture of
the team. Terry McLaurin has been a consummate professional for
the Washington Commanders. So there's just so many moving parts
that I just don't see a deal happening quickly here.
(14:27):
Unless the team is desperate and really is in love
with Terry McLaurin and they're really willing to give a
boat load of draft picks and make Washington a deal
that they can't refuse. I just don't see it happening.
I see Terry McLaurin likely settling for a contract he
doesn't necessarily agree with in both sides. You know, That's
that's what it'll end up being. It'll be a compromise.
(14:47):
Terry McLaurin will get some concessions, the Washington commanders will
get some concessions. Hopefully they shake hands and Terry McLaurin
is the Washington commander for years to come. But it's
it's gonna be a situation that we need to watch
Trey hintckson. He's watching practice, he's showing up. And that's
a new thing that's happening these days. Players are getting
smart because they made it such a so financially discouraging
(15:09):
to sit out and miss games. When you're holding out,
they put all the control on the team's hands, and
so players have taken the control back by saying I'm
gonna hold in And I'm not even necessarily gonna say
it's a hold in. I'm just gonna show up and
I'm gonna have some undisclosed injury that you can't prove
I don't have, and I'm gonna get treated for it
every day. What are you gonna do? You're gonna tell
(15:30):
me I'm not hurt. You can't do that, not in
this day and age, not with social media and everything.
But you can kind of speculate it. And until you
pay Trey Hendrickson, it doesn't look like he's gonna be
on the field. And if he misses the game and
you lose that that AFC North isn't a isn't a
division you can play with. The Baltimore Ravens aren't gonna
be playing any games. And you got a quarterback in
these receivers that are highly highly paid, gonna put up
(15:51):
a lot of points in the one guy you had
on defense that's been consistent year after year. You're not
giving that respect. Even Joe Burrow thought you would pay him.
You pay t Higgins, Cool, pay Jamar Chase top money,
top dollar, got it. Joe Burrow has his money. Cool,
got it? Now you don't want to pay the defense.
And Mike Brown has been one of those owners who's said,
(16:14):
I don't you know they had to sell the naming rights,
naming rights to the stadium for Joe Burrow's deal. Like
they are, they do not like to spend money. And
I'm not gonna, you know, spill the beans about how
some of the conversations went when we were negotiating with owners.
But Mike Brown, you know, the way he spends money
isn't necessarily seen in a good life by the other
(16:39):
owners of the league. You know, I think they would
like him to have to spend money more money, and
like it to be in line with everybody else who's
trying to grow the game and make this a better product.
And they don't think he's investing enough into his team
to grow the game. But he's benefiting as much as
the rest of them are. But that's a story for
a different dam. I'm not going to go down that
rabbit hole with you today. But they need to pay
(16:59):
Trey Hendry until they do. Could could he be sitting
out Week one with an undisclosed injury potentially? What can
a team do? Can they find him? Can it? Sure?
They can? But again it doesn't work to anybody's favor.
You find him a lot of money, find him a
game check, you piss him off more, you put your
team in a harder spot. Maybe he walks away, maybe
(17:21):
he misses more games that just those things never work out,
so he has leverage here. The team is better off
just making him happy and paying him what he deserves.
Maybe again, there's a middle ground there somewhere that they
can find. Hopefully it happens. Juwan Jennings another situation we're monitoring,
and Overridge hats you know for the Niners fans, but
(17:42):
it's a situation you got a monitor because because of
what he's asked for publicly to say either trade me
or pay me. And I know Kyle Shanahan and all
the coaches are gonna say all the right things because
they're a team with a great coaching staff, a great culture,
a great front office staff, great team, great team mates.
But from the outside looking in, if you're just looking
(18:03):
at it objectively, knowing what you know, you say, Okay,
Juwan Jennings had this injury, and calf injuries are nagging
and they take a while, and you don't want them
to come back because once they come back. You got
to sit for three four weeks anyway. So I understand
the patients and and and and Hey, we're gonna we're
gonna take our time. We're gonna make sure we get
it right. But from the outside looking in, when you
make those demantic could look like you're holding in. And
(18:25):
so I'm glad Kyle Shanahan got ahead of it and said, hey,
now this is an injury. We understand. We're all on
the same page here, and I respect that. That's how
you put fires out and you put out potential speculation
that he could be holding out. But that's a situation
a monitor because I'm interested to see what the forty
nine ers do. Brandon and I you could still not
not playing Wreeky persol. Uh. You know it's back in
(18:45):
the lineup, but he's been banged up. You've heard about
some young guys stepping up. They're bringing in guys because
they just don't have enough legs in the receiver room.
Right now, you all your your your foundational players are
showing up. Trem Williams showed up on time in shape.
They say, Nicholas John Bosa is having an incredible camp.
Fred Warner looks like the beast that he has been
(19:08):
all pro Fredy, the guys are there, George Kettle looks amazing,
Christian McCaffrey, the burst. Everything is still there. But you
need these receivers to show up, and Juwan Jennings technically
will be your one without Brandon Ayuk there, you know
Ricky Pursol maybe you know maybe one two, maybe they're both,
depending on how they're drawing the plays up. But from
(19:29):
a veteran perspective, he had almost a thousand yards last year.
He was very reliable and very consistently open, consistently getting separation,
consistently doing what he needs to do with both blocking
and setting the tone in ball games. With his ability
to get open and make big plays. I think they're
going to have to do something. I think they're gonna
have to appease him, and I think once they do,
(19:49):
there might be a chance that he's back in practice
that day. I don't know. He kind of seems that
way though. As always, it's beautiful joining with you. I
will be in San Francisco for the training camp in
person with the Richard Sherman podcast. That's gonna be an
incredible day. I'll be in Seattle at training camp for
the Richard Sherman Podcast, So stay tuned for those in
(20:09):
person live interviews with the players and coaches. I'm looking
forward to that. It's gonna be a really exciting time.
We're venturing out people. We're venturing out, we're taking it
out of the podcast, out of the man cave, and
we're going out to the facilities and seeing people in person,
and I want to hear the real story. I'm gonna
se if I can get jaw on, because I want
to ask you myself. Stay tuned. We appreciate you joining us.
(20:30):
You could be anywhere in the world, but you hear
with us all love and respect. To see you next time.
(20:52):
The volume
The volume the ADULTO Championships. That should always do the expectation.
All right, man, at you go ahead, Welcome back to
the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know I talk about
Seahawks and Niners and the teams that I played for,
(00:22):
But man, this Cowboys drama has got me thinking, what
is Jerry doing now? Micah Parsons comes out and tells
the truth. Michael Parsons's day was transparent in those statements
that he released. Hey, didn't want to do this. I
wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys my whole career.

(01:06):
You got to Todd France, you got to you got
to Toy Dandy, you got to their agents at athletes
first and Uh, Todd France I think is uh, he's

(01:29):
thing is the quote that Jerry said. And I want

asking for. He deserves it. He deserved it years ago.
He'd probably would be looking for an extension at this
point if you would have just signed him when you
were supposed to sign him, or an extension next year.
But if you're gonna keep holding him hostage, I just
(05:50):
don't know. It just it's a bad look. It's a
bad look on it. And everybody's talking about man, our
team needs to not not many teams have forty one
million in open space or the ability to create enough
money to be able to sign park Michael Parsons to
an extension. Bring him in immediately now, and especially the contenders,
(06:10):
especially the contenders. Everybody's talking about Man, the Philadelphia Eagle's
gonna gonna pull a fast one again. I don't think so.
I mean, Howie is a magician. He does a phenomenal job,
one of the best in the history of the game.
Has has put together incredible teams. But if you tell
me Howie Roseman can get Jerry Jones and trade of
Michael Parsons within a division coming fresh off a Super
(06:30):
Bowl win, like, oh my god, wait to hear what
I got to say after that day, that would be insanity,
so you would assume he has to get at least
out of the East. So then you you it leaves
you a lot of NFC teams, a lot of AFC
team But where does Michael want to go and what
what can he get done? Who has the space? All
that matters And I'm not gonna speculate and get into
(06:52):
all those details. But why are we here? Why are
we even talking about this? Because only Jerry can put
us in a boss when we're one of his best players.
And it's not even be debatable. It is sitting here saying, Wow,
you guys don't want me. And I've been saying it
for years that I don't understand why they aren't paying him.
What did he do to Jerry Jones? What has he done?
(07:15):
What is Michael Parsons done to Jerry Jones for him
not to want to pay him major money going forward?
Because I don't see it. I don't see the problem.
I don't see the issue. I don't see the hesitation
because he hasn't done anything to make you want to hesitate.
He's a great player, he's leader, he's done everything he's
supposed to do. But having the conversations without his agent
(07:38):
there and then thinking that, hey, we agreed to something
and we're not even going to involve the agent and
whatever the agent said, we're not even going to answer
his calls because we agreed to something without you. That
sounds beyond ridiculous. And Jerry, you wouldn't advise your own
son to do that without his lawyer and his representation present. Cool.
(08:01):
You can talk about subtle details. You maybe talk about
an outline. Hey, we're trying to give you two hundred million. Yep,
four years, two hundred million. Cool, I hear you. Jared,
that sounds great. Man, highest paid defensive non quarterback in
the league. Cool, Jerry, that sounds great. Just talk to
my agent, iron out the details and we can go
ahead with it. But you don't want to do that
(08:22):
for some reason. And that's where the rub is. That's
the details we need, Like why don't you want his
agent to be there? What details were in there that
you knew that David mulla Ghetto would see and say,
hold up, this ain't happening. It's definitely not happening like that,
because that's how shady it sounds. When you said, hey,
we had an agreement in place, but when the agent calls.
(08:44):
I don't answer the phone. It sounds like you got
something up your sleep, Jerry, and I want to know
what's up your sleep because it doesn't make sense to
anyone else, and it's now playing out in the public
right before another season, promising season. Got your best players
are healthy, You're good. I think the left tackle might
(09:04):
have got a little banged up, but knock on what
he's gonna be okay. But you're healthy. Going into season,
there's hope in the fan base. There's excitement, as it
should be going into the football year for every team.
You should feel good, we're a chance at the super Bowl. Cool.
Let the season, you know, kind of put your fire out,
but cool. You can have those expectations. But the amount
(09:26):
of vitro and drama that Jerry Jones and Steven Jones
are are injecting into this franchise before it even starts
just just crazy. Why how does this? I see in
no world that this benefits your football team. Then no
world that this makes you a better football team, an
easier football team to root for, It makes your best
(09:46):
players happier and want to play for you. It does
the exact opposite. You have CD Lamb sitting there like,
come on, man, pay him. What are you you owing?
Like you are creating the vision within a team, not
against other teams, but against you because how you're because
(10:06):
of how you're speaking about your players, because of how
you're treating your players. And it's bad business, man, it's
bad business. And I you know, you would think wisdom
comes with age, but it's clearly going the other way
for Jerry, and I don't get it. I really don't.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
In another trade situation, Terry McLaurin in the NFC East
has requested a trade from the Washington Commanders. He wants
to be paid like the top receiver in the National
Football League, which would put him over forty million, and
it's something that I think the Washington commanders are unwilling
to do. And you understand both sides of it. You
(12:38):
understand from Terry mclaurin's side, Hey, you brought another guy in.
And I knew that once they brought Depo in and
the amount of money he was making, it would it
would cause an issue with Terry McLaurin. I said that
when it happened. I said, I just don't know how
Terry will respond to this, and everybody told me I
was crazy. I said, I don't know, because receivers are
(12:59):
that way, like you bringing somebody else here. You don't
think I'm that great, then show me how much you
value me by paying me the amount of money. So
then I'll sleep calm at night. I'll sleep good at night. Hey,
that's not it's not my world. I didn't create it.
That's just how it is, and that's how it's playing out.
Terry McLarin wants security, he wants respect from the Washington commanders.
They are saying they're unwilling to trade him, and they're
(13:20):
unwilling to meet his demands. They're willing to put him
in the thirty three thirty four million dollar range that
DK Metcalf just signed for. He's unwilling to accept those
kind of numbers. Is there another team that is willing
to also to not only trade potentially at first, well,
the receiver market has been different. I mean maybe at
third and the fifth. What you're gonna have to because
(13:42):
you're gonna have to pay him so much the draft
value will likely go down. But on top of that,
you're gonna have to pay him what he wants, So
you're gonna have to agree to an extension before the
trade ever comes through along with the draft compensation. And
maybe the Commanders are gonna ask for something crazy because
you're doing it at a point in the season that
you can can't necessarily like find to his replacement. You're
(14:03):
not gonna be able to replace his production, his his
veteran presence, you know who he's been to the Washington
Commanders over these years, instantly unless you get a player
of equal value. But even then you're talking about getting
him up to speed with the playbook, the culture of
the team. Terry McLaurin has been a consummate professional for
the Washington Commanders. So there's just so many moving parts
that I just don't see a deal happening quickly here.
(14:27):
Unless the team is desperate and really is in love
with Terry McLaurin and they're really willing to give a
boat load of draft picks and make Washington a deal
that they can't refuse. I just don't see it happening.
I see Terry McLaurin likely settling for a contract he
doesn't necessarily agree with in both sides. You know, That's
that's what it'll end up being. It'll be a compromise.
(14:47):
Terry McLaurin will get some concessions, the Washington commanders will
get some concessions. Hopefully they shake hands and Terry McLaurin
is the Washington commander for years to come. But it's
it's gonna be a situation that we need to watch
Trey hintckson. He's watching practice, he's showing up. And that's
a new thing that's happening these days. Players are getting
smart because they made it such a so financially discouraging
(15:09):
to sit out and miss games. When you're holding out,
they put all the control on the team's hands, and
so players have taken the control back by saying I'm
gonna hold in And I'm not even necessarily gonna say
it's a hold in. I'm just gonna show up and
I'm gonna have some undisclosed injury that you can't prove
I don't have, and I'm gonna get treated for it
every day. What are you gonna do? You're gonna tell
(15:30):
me I'm not hurt. You can't do that, not in
this day and age, not with social media and everything.
But you can kind of speculate it. And until you
pay Trey Hendrickson, it doesn't look like he's gonna be
on the field. And if he misses the game and
you lose that that AFC North isn't a isn't a
division you can play with. The Baltimore Ravens aren't gonna
be playing any games. And you got a quarterback in
these receivers that are highly highly paid, gonna put up
(15:51):
a lot of points in the one guy you had
on defense that's been consistent year after year. You're not
giving that respect. Even Joe Burrow thought you would pay him.
You pay t Higgins, Cool, pay Jamar Chase top money,
top dollar, got it. Joe Burrow has his money. Cool,
got it? Now you don't want to pay the defense.
And Mike Brown has been one of those owners who's said,
(16:14):
I don't you know they had to sell the naming rights,
naming rights to the stadium for Joe Burrow's deal. Like
they are, they do not like to spend money. And
I'm not gonna, you know, spill the beans about how
some of the conversations went when we were negotiating with owners.
But Mike Brown, you know, the way he spends money
isn't necessarily seen in a good life by the other
(16:39):
owners of the league. You know, I think they would
like him to have to spend money more money, and
like it to be in line with everybody else who's
trying to grow the game and make this a better product.
And they don't think he's investing enough into his team
to grow the game. But he's benefiting as much as
the rest of them are. But that's a story for
a different dam. I'm not going to go down that
rabbit hole with you today. But they need to pay
(16:59):
Trey Hendry until they do. Could could he be sitting
out Week one with an undisclosed injury potentially? What can
a team do? Can they find him? Can it? Sure?
They can? But again it doesn't work to anybody's favor.
You find him a lot of money, find him a
game check, you piss him off more, you put your
team in a harder spot. Maybe he walks away, maybe
(17:21):
he misses more games that just those things never work out,
so he has leverage here. The team is better off
just making him happy and paying him what he deserves.
Maybe again, there's a middle ground there somewhere that they
can find. Hopefully it happens. Juwan Jennings another situation we're monitoring,
and Overridge hats you know for the Niners fans, but
(17:42):
it's a situation you got a monitor because because of
what he's asked for publicly to say either trade me
or pay me. And I know Kyle Shanahan and all
the coaches are gonna say all the right things because
they're a team with a great coaching staff, a great culture,
a great front office staff, great team, great team mates.
But from the outside looking in, if you're just looking
(18:03):
at it objectively, knowing what you know, you say, Okay,
Juwan Jennings had this injury, and calf injuries are nagging
and they take a while, and you don't want them
to come back because once they come back. You got
to sit for three four weeks anyway. So I understand
the patients and and and and Hey, we're gonna we're
gonna take our time. We're gonna make sure we get
it right. But from the outside looking in, when you
make those demantic could look like you're holding in. And
(18:25):
so I'm glad Kyle Shanahan got ahead of it and said, hey,
now this is an injury. We understand. We're all on
the same page here, and I respect that. That's how
you put fires out and you put out potential speculation
that he could be holding out. But that's a situation
a monitor because I'm interested to see what the forty
nine ers do. Brandon and I you could still not
not playing Wreeky persol. Uh. You know it's back in
(18:45):
the lineup, but he's been banged up. You've heard about
some young guys stepping up. They're bringing in guys because
they just don't have enough legs in the receiver room.
Right now, you all your your your foundational players are
showing up. Trem Williams showed up on time in shape.
They say, Nicholas John Bosa is having an incredible camp.
Fred Warner looks like the beast that he has been
(19:08):
all pro Fredy, the guys are there, George Kettle looks amazing,
Christian McCaffrey, the burst. Everything is still there. But you
need these receivers to show up, and Juwan Jennings technically
will be your one without Brandon Ayuk there, you know
Ricky Pursol maybe you know maybe one two, maybe they're both,
depending on how they're drawing the plays up. But from
(19:29):
a veteran perspective, he had almost a thousand yards last year.
He was very reliable and very consistently open, consistently getting separation,
consistently doing what he needs to do with both blocking
and setting the tone in ball games. With his ability
to get open and make big plays. I think they're
going to have to do something. I think they're gonna
have to appease him, and I think once they do,
(19:49):
there might be a chance that he's back in practice
that day. I don't know. He kind of seems that
way though. As always, it's beautiful joining with you. I
will be in San Francisco for the training camp in
person with the Richard Sherman podcast. That's gonna be an
incredible day. I'll be in Seattle at training camp for
the Richard Sherman Podcast, So stay tuned for those in
(20:09):
person live interviews with the players and coaches. I'm looking
forward to that. It's gonna be a really exciting time.
We're venturing out people. We're venturing out, we're taking it
out of the podcast, out of the man cave, and
we're going out to the facilities and seeing people in person,
and I want to hear the real story. I'm gonna
se if I can get jaw on, because I want
to ask you myself. Stay tuned. We appreciate you joining us.
(20:30):
You could be anywhere in the world, but you hear
with us all love and respect. To see you next time.
