00:00 What's your reaction overall to Baker's deal and Russell Wilson's deal?
00:10 Well I think they're both like kind of small wins.
00:12 So I think the Russell Wilson one, that's actually probably a big win.
00:16 $1.2 million for Russell Wilson.
00:18 It's the veteran minimum.
00:20 Obviously Denver's playing the remainder of his contract.
00:23 I mean how bad could it possibly be?
00:25 Like if he's awful, if he's causing problems in the locker room, you know, because obviously
00:29 the rumors surrounding Russ has been always, you know, he's kind of a megalomaniac.
00:35 He loves himself.
00:36 He wants to have his own office in the building.
00:37 He wants to be apart from the team.
00:39 Well one, I would think he's been kind of humbled by his experience with the Denver
00:43 Broncos, but if not, well you just go back to what you were doing last year.
00:47 You have Kenny Pickett.
00:49 I guess you can't go back to Trubisky, but you can, I mean Mason Rudolph is not signed
00:54 right now.
00:55 He's signed by Re-Signs as the third string quarterback there in Pittsburgh.
00:59 I don't think anywhere else would really want to pay him.
01:02 And the Baker deal, I mean look, that's just good business, man.
01:06 You pay him kind of less than league average salary.
01:09 You won nine games last year.
01:10 You won a freaking playoff game with him as your quarterback last year, and it's only
01:14 $50 million guaranteed.
01:16 Like that, I mean, it's a lot less money than Daniel Jones is making, for example.
