00:10 There's a difference between talking and trying to work things out versus getting
00:23 things done.
00:23 And up until this weekend, nothing was done.
00:27 I figured I wanted some different opportunities or
00:30 see what else was out there for me.
00:32 So I mean, other than that, that's about it.
00:34 >> And at the end of the day, I can just weigh my options.
00:36 At the end of the day, there's only so much I can control.
00:40 Honestly, I can get franchise tagged and there is no free agency.
00:42 So I mean, there's a lot of different options.
00:44 So I'm not caught up in what it is I want.
00:46 But I mean, at the end of the day, I'm not- >> Truthfully, I mean,
00:49 not really too focused on it right now.
00:51 Just wanna continue to stack this season,
00:54 continue to build my resume best I can.
00:57 And I mean, I have some personal goals that I wanna achieve.
01:00 And then from there, we'll figure that out when that time comes.
01:03 But that's not what I'm interested in right now.
01:04 I'm trying to win.
01:05 I mean, I feel like they're, arguably, I feel like I'm the best corner in the game
01:10 right now.
01:11 So I mean, just going off that and continue to play at a high level,
01:14 that's not gonna change.
01:16 And I feel like for me, that only increases my value.
01:19 And it just happens that you strike the iron while it's hot.
01:22 So yeah, for sure.
01:23 So I mean, hopefully, he comes in and continues to be that dog that he's shown
01:27 over the years and get some tip passes.
01:29 Maybe that'll fall my way or
01:31 get the QB to throw the ball off target a little bit and just allow it to fall on my
01:34 head. >> Honestly, I didn't really think too
01:36 much of it.
01:37 I think it'll be a different situation in a sense if,
01:40 I know he's up for contract as well.
01:42 So I mean, it'll be a different situation if it was a trade and then sign.
01:46 That would be, in a sense, I feel like something that I would feel more so
01:50 than just an initial trade.
01:51 But I know the opportunity is there and somebody has to get paid, I know.
