00:00He's going to tell me that Kayvon Thibodeau is about to get shipped.

00:04Well, here's what's got.

00:05Okay, let me explain this one.

00:07So if Abdul Carter goes at number three, like I believe it's going to happen,

00:11if that happens, the Giants have a decision to make.

00:15And to me, it's pretty obvious based on what I've heard.

00:18So Kayvon Thibodeau's fifth-year option is due next Thursday, right?

00:22And it's a big number.

00:23It's a major salary increase.

00:25If you draft Abdul Carter at three and he's healthy, he's starting.

00:28You don't bench a rookie first-rounder in the top ten if he's ready to play.

00:34So if you're Kayvon Thibodeau, you really want to know what your future is going to be.

00:39The future will be decided.

00:40If they draft Abdul Carter, it's over for him.

00:42Kayvon Thibodeau, no.

00:44He's under contract this year.

00:46He's under contract this year, but his future is settled.

00:49This will be his last year if they draft Abdul Carter.

00:54Obviously, you've got to watch what happens during the draft,

00:56see if they can get any value for him.

00:57Now, obviously, if they don't, if they decline his option, he could sign elsewhere.

01:02But the bottom, and that would be next year.

01:04He's still under contract for this season.

01:05But again, transactions tell you a lot.

01:08And I did a little bit of checking on this today.

01:11There's some interest on Thibodeau around the league.

01:14He's got good length.

01:15You and I talked about him last week.

01:17But he's not explosive like Abdul Carter.

01:19Carter's got way more upside, and he's more talented.

01:22Thibodeau's got a little bit more strength to him.

01:24But Carter's the better player.

01:27I'm fascinated to see, because that, really, the mystery, Scott, in tomorrow's number four.

01:31The first three, barring a surprise.

01:34Barring a surprise.

01:35The mystery starts at number four, the Patriots.

01:37All right.

01:37So, real quick.

01:38Ramsey and Jair Alexander are both going to get dealt, possibly?

01:42Yeah.

01:43And by the way, yeah.

01:44Jalen Ramsey, look.

01:46Very quickly here.

01:47The Dolphins extended his contract last September.

01:49It didn't work out.

01:49They wanted to move him.

01:51He's happy to be moved.

01:52They're going to look to move him.

01:53The problem is, Scott, he's doing total cash this season, just over $25 million, fully guaranteed.

01:59I don't believe anyone will take that as is.

02:01The Dolphins will probably have to eat some of that money.

02:03Keep an eye on that during the draft.

02:05They want to move him.

02:05He wants out.

02:06This should be able to happen.

02:07By the way, it's really incredible.

02:10The team that acquired him in a trade from the Jaguars, the Rams, they have interest in him.

02:15But it's highly unlikely you're going to take all that cash.

02:17They'd have to work that out.

02:18They're going to take that out.

02:30And now, I'm going to take that out.
