00:00There's a separate answer about cap space where he's like, you know, I'm like anybody else when I go shopping if there's one car

00:04I'm gonna get it. But if there's a bunch of cars, then maybe I'll look to get a better deal on it

00:09So he didn't quite say burn some cash

00:12But as the text line pointed out Keith 6 1 7 7 7 9 7 93 7 it kind of sounds like he said

00:18They're gonna burn some cash. He didn't put it in that phrasing. No, right, but he said quote-unquote. I'm confident

00:23We're gonna be aggressive

00:24So this sort of like maybe threads the needle where you don't you don't really piss off ownership

00:29But you also are letting the fan base know that we're not

00:32Content with what we have right now and we know that simply saving money or looking for bargains isn't gonna cut it

00:39Like there's gonna be a contract at least I hope that when it's signed you're gonna be like, oh my god

00:44Like is that guy really worth that? But that's what it's gonna take to get him good

00:48The money in all sports is going up. It's getting crazy

00:50I mean as much as we love Bregman right foghorn Breghorn

00:55Like 40 million for a season for Bregman a lot is wild like on the surface

01:00So the Red Sox were willing to get uncomfortable with the contract now the the Patriots are gonna have to do it as well

01:05You know and as long as the guy isn't a complete bust you're gonna say that's the cost of doing business

01:10You're not used to spending, you know, 30 million dollars on the entire receiver room

01:15Now you might need to spend 30 million dollars on one receiver for a season like that might be what you have to do

01:20And you know, I think he Frabel is also alluding to that

01:24He's like, yeah, we're gonna have to be aggressive because if we're not we're not gonna get anybody. No, it's true

01:28so I

01:29Think he also said at one point. It's a good draft, but then there wasn't a lot of substance there

01:34I think he was sort of last night

01:36It sounded like they met with a lot of D lines like maybe like rushers. That was some good personality. Yeah

01:41This is a personality draft. It's not a looks draft. Keef. It's she's got a good personality draft seems nice because you

01:48She's a nice person

01:49he seems nice because you're gonna have to you're gonna have to fall in love with some of these guys because it's not a

01:53Deep draft from a talent. I wonder who he was talking about
