00:00So, yesterday, the big news was
00:05Miles Garrett B. Yeah. Um
00:06understandably because he's an
00:10absolute star. Cooper Cup last
00:13night ish tweeted out that the
00:14Rams are going to trade him but
00:16they were talking about that
00:17earlier this year. So, I'm not
00:18surprised by it at all. I'm not
00:20either. He's making real money.
00:23Puka has become the better
00:25player there. Yeah. Cup when
00:27he's right is an absolute star.
00:29He hasn't had a, he hasn't, he
00:31hasn't played a full season
00:33since twenty-one when they won
00:35the title and he almost went
00:37for 2000 yards but in the in the
00:39last 3 years, he's played nine
00:41games, twelve games, and twelve
00:42games. Yeah. It's hard to count
00:44on that guy. And you know, I
00:45was, I'm going to say he's
00:46exceptionally talented but you
00:47know what? He's at the at the
00:48position and time of his career
00:50where you hit that age where
00:51you stay injured and it comes
00:53back and forth. So, uh what I
00:55say, go after him. No, he'll be
00:57thirty-two when training camp
00:58starts. And he's he's that's
01:00right around the time when you
01:01see the last three to 4 years
01:02what he's done, it doesn't get
01:04better. Yeah, I mean, if you
01:06have a tendency to be injured,
01:08when you get over thirty, it's
01:09going to come a little bit more
01:11after. Sure. And I think, you
01:13know, with Cup, like, it's one
01:17of these things. They're trying
01:18to trade him to where he wants
01:20to go. What is that trade market
01:22like for a dude that has five
01:24mil guaranteed and but he's got
01:26a $30 million capital. I think
01:27it comes down to the team. How
01:29close is the team to getting
01:30there? Is Cooper Cup worth it
01:34for a team that may be like,
01:35let's take a Kansas City. Sure.
01:37If we got him, if they got him
01:38for 10, 12 weeks, he's good for
01:40them. Buffalo. Yeah. Those type
01:42of teams can use him and I
01:43think he still has a lot of
01:44value but if you have a younger
01:46team and you're trying to get
01:47there where if he's gone for
01:49eight, nine, seven, eight weeks,
01:50six weeks, he hurts your team.
01:52It's not going to help. Well, I
01:54think LA is going to have to
01:55eat a lot of this contract
01:56because the way it is currently
01:58constituted, it would be a
01:59$22 million dead money hit
02:01versus a seven and a half
02:03million dollar cap savings.
02:04Like, so you're or if you're
02:09actually trading for this, it
02:11becomes like a salary dump.
02:12Like, alright, we'll give you a
02:13six per cup if you want us to
02:14eat the deal. Yeah. You know
02:15what I mean? Like, I Cooper Cup
02:18has value to your point. You
02:20almost have to plan. You know
02:21what? Zach Hurts told me a
02:23lot. Zach Hurts told me, I
02:25guess at locker clean out was
02:27how well DQ took care of
02:29veteran players. Oh yeah. He's
02:30like, man, we didn't practice
02:31on Wednesdays. Like, they
02:33really seem to know how to take
02:34care of that team like that.
02:37That has a lot already. But
02:39Sean is like that. Sean doesn't
02:41make those dudes play. Yeah.
02:42But they don't do any
02:43preseason. They don't do
02:44Sean. Week eighteen. Sean also
02:46understands that I got two guys
02:48that play the exact same
02:49position. Yeah. I want them
02:51to be young. And I and this guy
02:53here, I basically have for the
02:54next 10 years and the other guy
02:56got for the next year too.
02:57Possibly. So, I'm going to go
02:59with the guy where I got the
03:00longest period to hang with.
03:01Well, and I think Nakua's on a
03:04rookie deal that they can't pay
03:07him until after the season. You
03:09got Puka Nakua for a million
03:10bucks. Hey. And and cups on the
03:14books for thirty. Give me as I
03:16told you. Give me the Nakua.
03:17Raven Caldwell say, bro, I
03:19stood next to Puka Nakua. He
03:20looks the same height as me.
03:21Six two. He's built a certain
03:23way. Puka is not built like a
03:25typical receiver. He's a
03:26fullback. Yeah, he's like that.
03:28So, he is built in a way where
03:30he's sturdy enough to go the
03:32long haul. Yeah. So, you know.
03:36Cup to Washington for me. You
03:40know, interesting. I I don't
03:42think I don't they have holes
03:46at Whiteout but I I don't know
03:49that come to Washington to me is
03:52if he gets to free agency and
03:54then the number's really
03:55suitable and he decides, yo,
03:56I'd love to play with Jaden.
03:57I'd love to play for Cliff.
03:58Yeah. Cool. Like, if you get to
03:59be a veteran situation where he
04:01wants to be in Washington,
04:02everybody keeps saying this is
04:03going to happen. Okay, I'll be
04:05very interested. Yeah. But I'm
04:06not giving up a pick for that
04:07contract and everything else
04:08involved. Um I think he ends up
04:11getting released. Uh I don't
04:12know how that ends up getting I
04:14don't know how that split ends
04:17up actually happening. Most
04:18important in Washington is to
04:20upgrade your O line D line.
04:22Sure. Because you have a
04:23receiver, a quarterback who
04:24just showed you, if you give me
04:27any anytime. Right. I'm going
04:29to find the people. And if you
04:31you improve the O line where he
04:32has more time, he becomes even
04:33more deadly. Sure.
