00:00 The doors open for Russ to come back.
00:03 How legit do you think that really is?
00:06 I took it and anyone can disagree with me as they're trying to build any semblance of
00:10 a trade market for Russell Wilson by keeping the option open that he might be with the
00:14 Broncos beyond this coming year.
00:16 But the tone ality of Peyton and Peyton and what I took out of the conversation was Russ
00:21 is is gone.
00:22 You know, there's no real pathway for him to come back.
00:25 And if it's a door that's open, it's about this wide for us.
00:29 And I just don't see it happening.
00:30 So the tenor of the conversation, it seemed like the press was walking on eggshells around
00:36 Sean Peyton, who was up first.
00:37 And then when George came up, those tough questions were fired out.
00:41 Yeah, dude, Sean, Sean Peyton suffers no fools at the podium, dude.
00:45 Like we have how many clips now this year, Zach, of him snapping at reporters.
00:49 What's the question?
00:50 You know, stuff like that.
00:52 And over time, dude, that has an impact.
00:55 You know, like you start self critiquing your questions and like self censoring and maybe
00:59 holding back or posturing them slightly different.
01:03 George Peyton, he's really good at spinning, but he actually gives you enough information
01:08 without completely depriving you.
01:10 Like he won't just give away obvious stuff, but still not to cut you off.
01:15 But real quick, you know, I think you're right about it being if there is a you know, the
01:20 door still open.
01:21 It's like just enough for any light whatsoever to come through.
01:24 It's really contingent on what Greg Penner said, the CEO, the last guy at the podium.
01:29 He said, quote, The final part of it is a pardon me.
01:34 The financial part of it is a significant component in terms of how this works out in
01:39 the future.
01:40 Talking about rust.
01:41 But that's not what will drive the decision.
01:44 The decision will be driven by what's in the best interest of this football team winning
01:48 games.
01:49 Close quote.
01:50 And it comes down to the money and how amenable Zach Russell Wilson is to restructuring certain
01:56 terms of his contract.
01:57 And you know, if if the best predictor of the future is the past, I'm not holding my
02:04 breath.
