Speaker 1 (00:07):
Went off on a little umpiring reffing everything else like that. Yes,
I'm heavily opinionated, and uh yeah. You can find me
on social media. You can find me on my Facebook page.
That's where I keep my family updated that I'm still alive.
You can also find me on Twitter. You can find
me on TikTok as well as dimmery eighty.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
That's d e m e r y eighty. Find me
on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Money on TikTok, I'm trying that TJ Watt money.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, that TJ Watt money.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Speaking of TJ Watt, Wow, some news this weekend that
he had signed a three year, one twenty three million
dollar contract extension.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Let me read that again. One hundred and twenty three
million million.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yes, his contract length to three year, total value one
hundred and twenty three million, guaranteed money one hundred and
eight million yep, the average annual value otherwise known as
listen to your business, folks, the aa V forty one million.
This extension makes Want the highest paid non quarterback in
the NFL. Now, who's gonna come knocking, Hey, hey, hey, hey,
(01:11):
don't Shane, don't you do?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Three, Jerry defensive right back up up here, all.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Right, Shane, go ahead, tell me, tell me why Jerry
Jones and the Dallas Cowboys should be paying attention to
this kind of contract.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Because they should have paid him back in February when
they first wanted to be extended, before Miles Garrett got extended,
and back when the price tag was only thirty six
million dollars a year, and now Miles Garrett and TJ.
White have gone over the forty million dollar mark. At
one time, TJ. Micah had talked about how he wanted
to get signed early like Osa Digizoo their defensive end,
their defense tackle excuse me, and they want to get
ahead of the market. They wanted to open up the
(01:45):
cap room a little bit more. They wanted to say
he was wanting to take a longer deal to offset
some of that. And now all were here we are
and Jerry does it again, or I should say, Jerry,
the front office does it again.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Jerry.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
They want to wait till the front They want to
wait till training camp to get these deals done instead
of getting ahead of the market. And now what's gone
from essentially like being a no braining re signing with
Michael Parsons has turned into an unnecessary contract negotiation. That's
it's taken over headlines because it's the Cowboys. They have
had the headlines. And now Miles Garrett, who's older than Micah,
got paid. TJ White is older and a little bit hurt,
(02:17):
got paid. And now there's two other defensive ends behind Micah.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So you're telling me the guys that got paid more
have more experience than Micoh, yeah, of course do Michael Parsons.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Michael Parsons, in my opinion, is the third ranked defensive
end in the in the nation, behind Miles Garrett and
tjat still young, right, and that's the time you want
to pay him max dollars when they're young and they're
not hurt. TJ why he has gone through injuries. Miles
Garrett's gone through injuries. Aiden Hutchinson, who another upstart defensive end.
He's looking for a new deal. He had his his
knee bent the other direction last year. He's younger than Micah.
(02:46):
He's looking for a deal. Trey hendrickson the defensive end
out of Cincinnati's looking for one last pay day before
he hangs it up.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But this is so TJ.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Watt again the highest paid non quarterback. Right, Okay, is
it worth it is?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It doesn't matter the markets we talked about with the
WB the market value plays.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
For the Pittsburgh Steelers. It doesn't matter what the team.
Don't Pittsburgh Steelers winning any kind of Super Bowl suit.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It doesn't matter what team you play for. It is
the NFL. The market is the market, and that's what
you need to do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
What they so, just sign them to a big old
extension and players because here's the Dallas Cowboy curse, Shane.
What happens is these players become Dallas Cowboys and you
sign them for all this money and then they just
quit on you.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The Eagles did this and they want super Bowl. The
Rams do this and they want super Bowl. Teams do
this nowadays because nowadays you don't just draft them develop
you have to pay your players as well. Right, the
Cowboys haven't had this really annoying habit of like the
players they pay big money to are their stars, but
they don't pay them in free agency.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They pay them right before the season starts.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
That is annoying and make an off sets the market
in a way to where they have to reset it themselves,
and it makes the players look selfish, when in reality,
it makes the front office look stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Sorry, no, that was a good one. I like that one.
Somebody keep that one. But no, you why pay Micah
Parsons so much? Why shouldn't you? But what has he done?
It doesn't honestly from an no Cowboys fan, what is
he done?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
If we're going to do this thing where we're only
paying players?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But in New Orleans Saints lit y'all up last year? Right,
he's part of the defense.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Right, it doesn't matter. He's he's a Yes he is,
but matter. It's not a it's not a by the
game thing. It raised it over all defense fifty six
points a game. They pay him forty million. I know,
But did ray Lewis's defense allow that? What that much
offense to score against? Okay, so no, but you can't
use a fifteen year old argument for modern days. I
can use last season. But that's one a last He
(04:29):
was also an All Pro? What about that? Me in
the front of your time All Pro? He's the third
best edge rusher in the league. And this is not
based on who's best. Who gets paid more is based
on the market of your position. So t J Watt,
being the guy that he is, right gets paid to
talk about the Cowboys. It's fine, It's I don't matter you.
I'm mad at Jerry. I just feel I feel you
(04:52):
know what else. I feel like Cowboys fans need be
more educated. I feel like too many times we feed
into these from the Cowboys face. Can I talk to
cowoys first? I know I talk, they talk. We talk
to my people. Stop listening to national punnits on Fox
and ESPN talk about the Cowboys because they are only
against them. I am tired that the national Cowboys fan
example is skip Bayless. Okay, if you want to have
(05:13):
actual info from the fall, the reporters, follow the actual
analysis that cover the Cowboys because they will tell you, Hey,
this their contract negotiates is underway here, and other punnits
might be telling them he's being selfish. It's not about selfishness,
It's about market evaluation.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Shane hold On time out.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Because the Cowboys are America's team. The Cowboys want to
be in the media. The Cowboys need people.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They don't want that though the players don't want that
to Jerry wants that. The players don't want that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, but it's Jerry's team, man, But the players don't
want to play always going to be Jerry's team.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's not for Dallas. It's well, it's going to run
in the family. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Okay, yeah, but Steven, Steven Stephen is super boring. Steven
Steven is when more button down.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No, I'm actually think that I know that.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Have you seen have you seen all the day today? Jerry.
Jerry is way more about glitz and glam. Steven is
way more about, like you know, underpaying players and stuff like.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Sure, but come on, I mean, it's always going to
be the in the Jones family that the Dallas Cowboys
are going to be there, you know. But again, this TJ.
Watt deal, it's a big deal, this TJ. Wat deal
being a big deal, you know what I mean. So
I don't know if Parsons is going to get paid
or not. I mean, that's what the Dallas Cowboys do, Shane,
and that's what it's going to continue to happen. So wow,
(06:21):
would you look at that? One hour down, one hour
to go, And coming up next, we're going to talk
about the SEC media days in Archie manning the Heisman.
That's all next on the Fanatics it's on ticket seven
