00:00But also understand this, Micah Parsons is waiting for a contract.
00:02He is going to absolutely re-reset the market when he comes back in.
00:07And the Bengals will be like, hey, Trey, you're lucky you're making $15 million to be the sack leader in the NFL.
00:13And also, Joe, you take a look at the Cincinnati Bengals on the season.
00:17This isn't like we're fighting over what we're rebuilding right now.
00:20We don't really want to spend money.
00:22We want to find guys that are going to help us out in the future and sort of reset our salary cap.
00:26Your time is now, Cincinnati.
00:27You have a dynamic duo wide receiver, a great young quarterback.
00:31You also have a defense that needs help in all the worst ways.
00:34And you say Trey Hendrickson is a four-time Pro Bowler.
00:37But the Bengals on the season, they think they can make a Super Bowl.
00:41Why are we nickel and diming our best defensive rusher, one of the best in the NFL, who probably just wants to look.
00:47I'm 31 years old.
00:48I don't need six years, $175 million.
00:50I just need more than $15 million guaranteed this year because if I get hurt, my career is done.
00:55I need to go out there and understand, I'm sacking that quarterback.
00:59I'm putting my career on the line.
01:00Just pay me like you're supposed to pay me.
01:03That's all.
01:03And we can't get through to the Cincinnati Bengals to understand this.
01:07It's who they are.
01:09And it's what happens when you got, you know, 95-year-old owners here who apparently still have influence.
01:14Well, this is what we've always done.
01:16Listen, all of his, you know, all of his peers in the league, who, by the way, didn't have 35 sacks over the last two years, 17 and a half, which is what he tallied up in 23 and 24, which was the best in the NFL.
01:31But you're talking about guys making double, more than double of what he is currently under contract for.
01:38And you're wondering why this guy wants a new deal.
01:41Like, this should have been the easiest contract that the Bengals came up with.
