00:00Now, time will tell, but they're spending money on the coaching staff, which I definitely view as a positive.

00:05Does this mean they're also going to spend some real money on the roster, which I think many fans are more concerned about?

00:12Sure. I mean, it's kind of a different bucket. You have to spend on the players.

00:20I mean, you're bound to it by the CBA, and you have that amount of money, so who are the players you're going to chase?

00:27And if you're not going to chase them through free agency, which we've talked about a bunch of times now,

00:31I just don't think the number of players who hit free agency are as appealing as they used to be,

00:36because all teams have so much more money against the cap to spend.

00:39Will you be innovative in trying to see trades? I mean, you can compile the best coaching staff known to man,

00:46and if you don't have the players on Sunday to walk out and protect Drake May,

00:50then he's not going to be able to throw it to whatever receiver you will be able to swing a trade for.

00:55So, if they have to spend the money, how are they going to spend it?

01:00Who are they going to spend it on? Is it going to be on Jonathan Smith and Nelson Aguilar?

01:04Or are they going to get it on guys like Matthew Judon and Hunter Henry?

01:08So that remains to be seen, but to me, they have to spend the money.
