We're no longer in Oxnard, but we're still covering Cowboys Training Camp like we are. RJ & Bobby go over notes from the practices the Cowboys held this past weekend, as well as discuss how the new guaranteed money Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill got could affect contract talks with CeeDee Lamb.
Transcript
00:00Speaking of Tyree kill he has a new contract RJ choppy or saw man. This is the or does
00:20he it's the weirdest because it's the same amount of money right ever see if we're not
00:24the same amount of money 30 million a year. It is the same contract. They've just guaranteed
00:28more of the deal. That's all they've done. They didn't add years to anything else. It's
00:32just hey, you have 60 million left. That's total guaranteed on your 90 million dollar
00:37deal. We're going to guarantee up another 15 million and the way this is reported yesterday
00:43or over the weekend from and look, we all have it. This is not a criticism. So don't
00:48mistake it. It's a it's just an accounting trick to free up cap space. No, it's not even
00:54to free up cap space. It's just to do him a solid. Oh, it's just it's to say it's well
00:59and because so the biggest sticking point in CD lambs deal right now that we've heard
01:02is guaranteed money. This is bringing him closer to hey over the value of your contract.
01:09Now you're equal to Justin Jefferson and guaranteed money for for Tyreek pretty much. Yeah, it's
01:14all it's off by I think like it's definitely passed in total fully guaranteed potential
01:20guarantees. It's right there with Jefferson now, but he's passed him and fully guaranteed
01:24money. So this essentially brings Tyree kills deal to 106 million fully guaranteed over
01:32the life of his contract because they've just guaranteed more of it. What's odd about this
01:37and the way it was being presented nationally was hey, this is a light like as a groundbreaking
01:43contract where somebody said this is the first time this is the most money ever guaranteed
01:48in the middle of a deal without years being added to it. Yeah, it's like boy that sounds
01:53like a big favor to Drew Rosenhaus is like Rosenhaus is saying this is the way I want
01:57you to frame and again, I don't this is not me being critical because there's that exists
02:03you have these relationships you do people solids and you're reporting things like that
02:06like I get that but it sounded more like a solid because to me I was like, I don't understand
02:11the dolphins were not walking away from Tyree kill in the next three years. No, no like
02:16is it isn't their owner known as kind of a kind of a jerk? Yeah, I mean Steven Ross
02:23like he has been in the past but this to me is like this is a this is a good move by him
02:28like this is not something that you would hear him do well who is a like give me a player
02:33that there's no give me a player on the Cowboys right now that you'd say regardless of there's
02:38no way you're cutting their contract. Throw me Tyler Smith. Tyler Smith's not going anywhere
02:45for the next three years, right? So it's like we've gone ahead and we've we've not
02:48even given him more money. We've just guaranteed it. It's like okay. Well, what are you guaranteeing?
02:53He wasn't going anywhere like like to me. It seems like a little bit of a phony. Yeah,
02:57I mean, I guess you could say this is a you know, like if Tyreek rips up his knee and
03:00there's Achilles and his career is over. We'll see the only thing it's injury protection.
03:04The only thing there is I think there are injury guarantee like I think his contract
03:08was already guaranteed for injury. So this just is guaranteed for other factors. Now
03:12does Tyreek Hill anticipate that or anticipate? Does he anticipate that he is a point at
03:17some point? He's going to start having a decline in terms of his speed because he's 30 now
03:23and speed is typically one of the things that goes quicker and he's going to lose that advantage.
03:27He's at the age where you lose it. Yeah, you lose that and then you know, you're still
03:31fast but you lose that quickness. Yeah, and maybe that and maybe that's what part of this
03:35is about for him is I don't know when my declines coming. I want this guaranteed and they said,
03:38Okay, let's do it. It'll be interesting to see how it impacts CDs negotiations because
03:43from an average annual value you say Tyreek Hill just got a new deal CD. He's still making
03:4830 million a year. How can you get up to Justin Jefferson's money of Tyreek Hilton the number
03:53one player in football? I might add according to NFL players job. Yeah, we'll get into that
03:57720. We'll get it to it. But CD lamb that gives them that argument on that side. But
04:01if it's truly about the guaranteed money, this hurts the Cowboys because now
