00:00Four years, $152 million extension.
00:04The problem with this, Tom, is that they just made him the highest paid defensive tackle in NFL history.
00:11So that is going to – there are a lot of teams right now with some big boys on the
00:17line
00:18that are looking at this contract and going, oh, really?
00:21And like you said, this is the kind of contract and kind of deal you're committed to him, Eagles.
00:28Congratulations, but it feels like there's a lot of things that could go wrong
00:34with making a de-tackle the highest paid ever in the history of the game.
00:39That's going to eat up a lot of resources there for the Eagles in years to come.
00:44It certainly is, and I'm still going to say that they have a great offensive line,
00:48but what they do outside of the offensive line and surrounding Hurts with weapons
00:54and shoring up other aspects of their defense, namely a second starting corner that they truly in,
01:00which is one of their issues from last season, those are going to be the things
01:04that are going to be impacted down the road.
01:07Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, Landon Dickinson, Cam Juergens, I go down the list.
01:12There are going to be a lot of dudes that they're going to have to make some decisions on
01:16over the next couple of seasons, but he is your man.
01:20Congratulations, as he is going to solidify that defensive front for a while in the NFL.
01:28And, you know, I don't know why Kyle Shanahan continues to talk about this accident,
01:33and he's continuing to clarify details on it, Tom.
01:38I'm like, if I'm Shanahan, I don't want to talk about this, like, at all moving forward.
01:44Like, I'm good.
01:45I'm going to be here.
01:46I don't know.
01:47Now he's rectifying his stories that maybe he was at fault.
01:50I'm like, what are we doing here?
01:53There is so much more, I think, to all of these stories that we're not getting.
01:58Yeah.
01:58When you are offering up information unwarranted and trying to clarify things that no one's asking about for clarification,
02:08that always, like, peaks my ears.
02:11Like, why are you doing that?
02:12Now, I understand there was some lag time in terms of when the accident happened in the middle of July
02:18and, you know, when we're actually hearing about it.
02:20Maybe he just wants to set the record straight, but something feels a little bit off to me about it.
02:24Whether or not that's actually true, who knows whether or not this actually impacts the 49ers,
02:29I think, is the main thing.
02:30Does this impact their team performance?
02:32Because the 49ers are generally a pretty public team when it comes to betting the NFL,
02:38as they have, you know, a historic amount of success with Shanahan, making the playoffs,
02:42making it deep in the playoffs in the Super Bowl.
02:44So people are generally looking to bet on the 49ers.
02:46And if there's any resistance in the market and push back saying,
02:49if Shanahan's not going to be fully healthy, we're at the helm for the 49ers.
02:53Does that impact our outlook on them to win the division, make the playoffs, their win total, etc.?
02:58That's what I'm truly interested in.
03:00The shenanigans of Shanahan clarifying the story, we've got to wait for that to kind of pass, I think.
