00:00 Jerry Jones was also asked about the Jonathan Taylor situation with the Indianapolis Colts.
00:05 What did you make of Jones' comments?
00:07 You can make an argument saying that Jerry likes to make a splash.
00:14 Over the course of 34 years, there's a track record of that.
00:17 But look more closely at what they've done in recent years.
00:20 They don't do that.
00:23 The Gilmore trade, he's a defense player of the year, but he's not a household name.
00:28 That's not a splash.
00:30 That's not Dion.
00:31 They could have tried to pursue Jalen Ramsey from the Rams.
00:35 That's a splash.
00:36 They didn't do it that way.
00:37 The acquisition for Brandon Cooks, DeAndre Hopkins is a splash.
00:42 He's an all-pro player.
00:44 Brandon Cooks isn't that.
00:46 They didn't make the splash.
00:47 So Jerry said it in two bites.
00:49 And if you want to misappropriate his comments, he said, "Oh, yeah."
00:53 He said, "Yeah, yeah."
00:54 He said, "Yeah," like three times.
00:55 He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jonathan Taylor."
00:57 We always look at everything.
00:59 Yeah.
01:00 You speak, Jerry.
01:01 Right.
01:02 So if you only listen for the first five seconds, you heard him say, "Yeah.
01:05 Yes, we're interested in Jonathan Taylor."
01:07 But that's not really what he said, and that's not what he meant.
01:10 Because then he went on, if you listen to...
01:12 The rest of it.
01:13 You're working through his word salad.
01:15 He says, "We're really happy with the running backs we have."
01:17 I like the argument.
01:18 I think it's a great barroom debate.
01:20 There's a guy out there who's a brilliant talent.
01:23 He's 24.
01:24 He doesn't want to be where he is.
01:26 They don't want to pay him, but you already have a $10 million running back.
01:29 You're really going to have two $10 million running backs?
01:32 It doesn't make salary cap sense, even though Jonathan Taylor is a highly attractive player.
01:37 Unfortunately for him, and the Bills can kick around that idea.
01:42 The Patriots can kick around that idea.
01:45 The Rams.
01:46 Yeah.
01:47 The Washington Commanders.
01:48 Unfortunately, and he's pulled a little bit of a fast one here.
01:52 We give you permission to go seek your own trade.
01:55 Knowing full well that when they come to us and say, "We like Jonathan Taylor," and
01:59 then we say, "Good.
02:00 Give us two first round picks," they'll hang up the phone.
02:02 It's a little bit of a scam.
02:04 Unfortunately, Jonathan Taylor is probably stuck in Indianapolis.
02:08 As cool as it would look for him to go to a contender like Buffalo, or to maybe elevate
02:14 somebody like the Commanders to becoming a contender, I don't think that's a very good
02:18 likelihood.
02:18 Mm-hmm.
