00:00Wolf said that this is not going to be a tank job, but it seems like they're already beginning their their fire sales

00:07What it looks like anyway, there's no other reason to trade Josh Usche is there

00:11Well, I mean, he hasn't really been productive. So if somebody was gonna give me something for something that hasn't really been productive

00:19I mean you can make an argument but on a team that has limited pass rush to start with and as you said

00:25Traded their Pro Bowl pass rusher before the year started if the Patriots were six and two

00:29They wouldn't have traded Josh Usche yesterday. Uh, I don't think probably not

00:33I mean if they were six and two, it wouldn't be because of him

00:37No, I'd agree with that too, but I don't know they they wouldn't be peeling off pieces

00:40I mean he had as everybody points out he not only did he have a half a season a couple years ago

00:45He had like a half of a half a season. It was like a little game stretch where he rode judan's coattails

00:50No, the only question I have here is

00:54Elliot Wolfe's comments that you just alluded to like we would never tank. That is the most ridiculous thing

01:01I've ever heard and now all I hear from reports from Diana Rossini and our buddy Mike Giardi

01:07Patriots have made it clear that they are ready to sell they are open for business. They you already trade Usche

01:14Devon Godchow, he's on the block Kendrick Bourne. He's on the block

01:18I haven't heard any reports of Jonathan Jones

01:22But we've speculated that he could be a guy

01:24That could be on the block and he'd read we addressed it with him yesterday and he said, you know

01:28People have asked me about it, but I don't know anything and I want to stay here

01:31So we'll see but I just don't see how you can be so I don't care if they trade people

01:36I just want to be clear about that. I would probably be trading people

01:39I would probably be opening up opportunities for every young player to play

01:44because the reality is

01:45Devon Godchow who for some reason you gave a contract to and

01:49Kendrick Bourne who you also gave a contract to which is weird that you give contracts to him in the offseason

01:55Then you're looking to unload them a few months later weird, but they're not part of a the long-term future

02:01But really the foundation I don't really see a where at best Kendrick Bourne is a role player

02:06We did this whole exercise. Yeah, there's only a couple there's like three guys

02:09They're foundational players on this as long as you're not men none of them are over 25 really gone

02:14So may bar more as long as those names aren't in the mix, then you're not trading anything

02:19That's really a part of the foundational
