00:00Over to you for the possibility of Devontae as we talk about what it would cost

00:08You'd be willing to do it for or just not willing to do it his next year's number

00:14Concerns me because he's not a number one anymore. Oh

00:20Well then you're an idiot

00:24His yards per route were run against man coverage

00:28Just like Brandon Cook's has declined over the last two seasons and Devontae is 31. He led the league in 2020

00:36Last two years. It's gone from 3.06 to 2.0 to 1.66. Not a good trend

00:43His catch rate has gone down from being in the 70s to under 60 percent or 59 percent

00:50Some of that's the quarterback, but also we've seen other quarterback other receivers. I

00:57Mean throughout the history of the league throughout even in recent times still put up big-time numbers with bumps

01:04Andre Johnson just sort of the Hall of Fame

01:06Did he ever have an elite quarterback?

01:08No, different even a good with different era different well different types of receivers

01:12Absolutely, I think different types of elite receivers can work with certain

01:17yeah, quarterback struggles better than others because if you're a

01:21Contested catch guy and you can't even get it in the contested catch area that causes a problem if you're a deep ball guy

01:26But you got Daniel Jones and Daniel Jones doesn't throw the ball very it shifts it

01:30But you know the yards per route runs concerns me a little bit

01:33It's the same thing, you know that with Brandon Cook's you're kind of concerned

01:36It gets what we talked about this in the offseason that he had declined in back-to-back years

01:40And that's generally just not a very good sign and he's 31. Yeah, and at 35 million dollars next year and he's not

01:4735 next year. Is that you said? Yeah, 35 million

01:50That Michael Lombardi agrees with you on tape. By the way, I heard him say no one's saying it but Devante's not the same guy

01:55That's what Lombardi said. I know that you want to agree with your fellow Paisan Paisan, but at 34 31 years old

02:02That's not that's not a knock on Devante. He's just getting old

02:04Yeah, it's just that so I mean I would take him as the number two, but not at 35 million

02:08I I would not take him as my number one

02:10He's like I he's not the same player that he once was but I don't I think he is still a number one receiver

02:16If you need one, like he's still somebody who can produce for you at that level. He's just he's not 10 receiver. Um

02:24Not consistently enough like a minute, but yeah, I think he he has those traits

02:28He's just more on the back end of the top ten

02:30But it's just he's not number one like there was so long where he was clear

02:33That's the best receiver in football and he's not that anymore

02:36So he's still really good that 35 could be redone

02:39Reworked would it be reworked and redone or he's gonna be like no I'm getting 35

02:44Let me see who his agent is so you could you could come to agreement on a pay cut you could come to agreement on

02:50Hey as part of the trade

02:52We're gonna work out an extension to where you're tacking void years on or maybe you give him an extra year

02:57Just to kind of adjust things. I would imagine Dallas would do that

02:59Would you be okay because I'm the I'm the expert at nailing the draft pick round for this compensation

03:06Mm-hmm. Am I insulting you can can I start off by calling you and offering a third?

03:13Yes, I think so is a third too much our J

03:20Is he better than Amari three years ago

03:23Stop

03:27No, hold on a sunk cost

03:29Move forward. We'll get to Amari. What did uh, what did AJ Brown just get traded for?

03:33What are the but the Eagles give up? I'll do a look is Brown the one or his digs

03:38Oh

03:40They malcontent in his early 30s. Yeah, it was digs a sixth and a fifth went for a second

03:47So if you just take the sixth and the fifth off of it, maybe you say Adams for a third, okay?

03:51I think that's about right. I would I would go in that ballpark if I was the Cowboys I'd be like third round pick

03:57I'm not I can't pay him 35 next year. You got to figure that out. But this team

04:02What's that that was Brett AJ went for a one and a he's on his rookie deal

04:08You know and I get ready to hit his prime. All right, so we're all okay

04:12Maybe throwing out a third if the breaking news came to Vontae Adams for a third
