00:00Phil Perry and Tom Curran discussed Matthew Judon's interesting behavior, you know, retweeting tweets that are talking about trading him out of town to a place like San Francisco.
00:12Why don't you just, if he really wants to do it, why don't you go back to the Niners and throw him in the mix at this point?
00:19Oh, 100% for Brendan Ayoub? Yeah, why not? I'm all for it.
00:24That was Chime on Saturday when he was in for Ken. He said something very similar. That was your trade, right?
00:29That is correct. Yeah, I would swap first round picks with the 49ers, throw Judon in there, and you probably also need to throw in a third, and you'd get Ayoub.
00:36Yeah. All right. But anyway, what did those two have to say? Yeah, here was Phil Perry and Tom Curran.
00:41When you're out there retweeting trade proposals that actually have you sent out of town, I would say, generally speaking, that's not a great thing.
00:48If he's not demanding a trade, it seems as though, based on his social media usage, that he's at least open to it.
00:54As far as this goes, Tom, what I would say we can bank on is that he wants some guaranteed money.
01:00Last year, the Patriots gave him a big old raise. He had $14 million by the end of it that was guaranteed to him.
01:06So can they do something similar this year? I would say it's worth their while to do something like that.
01:11It would be, but what we don't know is exactly what Matthew Judon wants.
01:14Does he want to be in the top 10 highly paid pass rushers in the league?
01:18I mean, he has been a Pro Bowl player. He was productive last year before his injury.
01:22Does he still look at himself and see in the mirror a guy who should be paid among the top 10 pass rushers?
01:27What is he, 34? I don't think he's that old. 32? I'm not sure how old he is.
01:35I think the biggest thing is, the biggest question that Hurdle, he's going to have to deal with, is that, I get it, he's about 31.
01:44He's a valuable piece to this defense. Turning 32 in August.
01:48But he didn't play last year because of the injury.
01:51So they're going to be like, well, we want to see what Matthew Judon we're getting back.
01:57So it's hard to give somebody new money or guaranteed money when you don't know where,
02:03what type of player getting back because he's coming off injury. In your mind, coach,
02:08is he a top 10 pass rusher in the NFL right now? Yeah, he is.
02:13Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think he is. And positive for the locker room. Like he is. He is? I think he is.
