00:00Yesterday, an NFL veteran was released, that would be Jair Alexander, cornerback, formerly
00:06of the Green Bay Packers.
00:09I think the Patriots should go take a look.
00:10I know it's not a wide receiver, I know it's not necessarily a weapon on offense, but right
00:14now it seems like your defense is your strength.
00:16It doesn't hurt to always add another guy.
00:18I think you're going to be able to get him at a discounted price because he's only played
00:22seven games in the last two seasons due to injuries and such.
00:25So I think this is an opportunity for you to bring in another veteran corner, add to
00:30that already strong corner room with a guy like Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, and
00:34even guys like Marcus Jones, and really kind of solidify that back half of the defense
00:38knowing how dominant your front four could be this year.
00:41If you can add another veteran cornerback, I think that helps this football team.
00:46I think it's worth going to take a look, see what the price tag is, and maybe bring him
00:49in.
00:50Okay, Shime.
00:50Speaking of wide receivers and the New England Patriots, it was kind of nice to know that
00:57Chris Godwin did confirm, apparently, yesterday or the day before, that they offered him $30
01:02million a year, and he said no.
01:05He likes Florida, no state tax.
01:08Sounds like they were willing to spend the New England Patriots.
01:11I still feel like there's some wide receivers that are available that they can go out and
01:15get.
01:15I think Amari Cooper's still available.
01:18Is Keenan Allen still available?
01:19I believe so.
01:20Yeah, so I mean, it could be another guy that they could bring in just to roll the
01:24dice on.
01:24On that topic, though, then why didn't they trade for DK Metcalf?
01:28Like, if you really wanted him, why didn't...
01:31Because they didn't want to pay the $30 million price tag?
01:33Oh, wait, but I thought they were offering $30 million to a less talented receiver in Godwin.
01:37Yeah, I don't get that one.
01:38I think it's beneficial to Godwin to tell everybody that he chose to take less money to
01:43remain in Florida as opposed to anything else.
01:46I mean, I don't think it's like, you know, I think he was offered more money here and
01:50he chose to play there, but the Patriots had ample opportunities to sign a talented receiver
01:55or trade for one.
01:56Yeah, they could have.
01:57You're right.
01:57DK Metcalf, even George Pickens.
01:59Right.
02:00And Dallas hasn't even given George Pickens a new deal, but you could have, you know,
02:04if George Pickens is here, he's a, my opinion, he's a better option than Steph Diggs, who's
02:10coming off knee injury, who's, you know, 31 years old.
02:13Pickens is, what, 25 years old?
02:15Yeah.
02:15Yeah, so.
02:17I think there was a weather issue with DK Metcalf, wasn't there?
02:20He doesn't like the rain.
02:22He's to Pittsburgh.
02:23It's not that much better.
02:24Yeah.
02:24Yeah.
