How do you sell players to come play in New England?
00:02
I think the easy answer is just pay them more money, which we can get to,
00:06
because I have questions about that with Kraft.
00:08
How do you sell them? Is it as simple as Drake May?
00:10
So I think to put money to the side, because I think money is the number one thing everywhere.
00:14
I know like Miles Garrett was saying it isn't the most important thing, but whatever.
00:18
It is for almost every single player.
00:20
Maybe you can find like 1% of guys that isn't.
00:23
So I think you can sell them on a few different things.
00:24
One would be Drake May.
00:26
I think another would be Mike Vrabel.
00:28
I think both of those guys are pretty easy sells to be honest.
00:33
And then depending on the player in the position,
00:35
don't you also sell them on their role and how important they're going to be to the turnaround?
00:40
Like I think if you brought in...
00:41
Right, it's like we have Vrabel, we have Drake May, we have nothing else.
00:44
You guys can be part of it.
00:46
We're set at coach quarterback.
00:47
Yeah.
00:48
You guys can be part of the turnaround,
00:49
and you're going to be the best player at your position.
00:51
You're going to be a leader at your position.
00:53
Yeah.
00:54
You're going to get a lot of play.
00:54
If you're a receiver or running back, there's tons of playing time for you.
00:58
Yeah.
00:58
Yeah.
00:58
And the NFL is different than the other sports too,
01:01
because actually maybe the NBA is even becoming this way too.
01:06
They're really market-proof.
01:07
You don't have to play in New York.
01:08
You don't have to play in LA to be on every commercial and super famous.
01:14
And if you're winning and you're really good, you're going to be there.
01:17
You see Rob Gronkowski everywhere you go, right?
01:20
You can do that.
01:21
So if that's something that any of these players that aren't familiar
01:24
with New England are worried about,
01:25
I don't think they need to be worried about that at all.
01:27
And just the nature of the NFL.
01:29
Bad teams can become good teams overnight.
01:31
You know, it happens all the time.
01:33
You could point to a million examples.
01:34
You could point to Washington this year, Houston last year,
01:38
like on down the line and be like,
01:40
Hey, we could be that.
01:41
Why can't we be that?
01:42
We have a coach that knows what he's doing.
01:44
We have a quarterback who is at least arrow pointing up.
01:49
So yesterday when we did our top 10s,
01:51
we didn't have him starting the year in the top 10,
01:52
but it doesn't mean he can't jump into that conversation at some point.
01:56
They at least know who their guy is,
01:58
which is a leg up on 10 other teams.
02:00
No, for sure.
02:01
So I think Vrabel is a good one.
02:03
I think selling a player on their role is always a big one.
02:06
And I think Drake may.
02:07
I mean, you hope guys want to play with Drake.
