00:00Again, Brian Thomas Jr.'s name came up again, and I, all right, fine, I'll look into this a little bit.
00:04And I thought, what would it really mean?
00:06Because when you trade for a player, you're not just trading for a player, you're trading for a contract, you're
00:10trading for term, right?
00:13Think about the Waddle trade.
00:14The Waddle trade versus the DJ Moore trade.
00:16Part of the reason the Waddle went for a bigger price is he's a little younger.
00:20Also, he had a much better contract at the time.
00:22And the Bills trade for more and pay a little less, but whatever.
00:25You're trading for contracts.
00:27For Brian Thomas Jr., if the Bills were to trade for Brian Thomas Jr., I don't think this will happen.
00:34I think the Jaguars would also be silly to do it or to trade him to the Chiefs because he
00:38might be expendable in their offense, even though he's somewhat of a part of it.
00:42Brian Thomas Jr.'s cap hit this year is $4 million.
00:45So the Bills have the ability to take that on without doing anything.
00:48Okay.
00:49But they still might.
00:50You could take it on and then who knows.
00:52He's on a rookie deal.
00:54Next year, his cap hit will be $4.6 million.
00:56Cheap.
00:57Super cheap for a guy that you could, like, half of Josh Palmer.
01:01Right.
01:02But what it would mean is, let's say the Bills did go out and get Brian Thomas Jr. from the
01:06Jaguars because of all these reasons people are laying out.
01:09At the end of this year, they would have a decision on a fifth-year option.
01:12You want to have him for two years.
01:14Mm-hmm.
01:15He's under cost control, fifth-year option, first-round receiver.
01:20I don't know if he's made one Pro Bowl, whatever.
01:22My only point is this.
01:24He's 24 years old.
01:25He'd be 24 on the roster this year.
01:29And, of course, like, if Bean is making a move like this one, that's not a rental.
01:34That's a he's on the team this year, he's on the team next year.
01:36We decide if we want him the year after that.
01:38We decide if we want to extend.
01:40Could this be a guy that bridges the DJ Moore timeline?
01:45How many years is DJ Moore going to have on this team?
01:46Three?
01:47Four?
01:48If it goes great, four?
01:49I mean, based on his age?
01:51Based on how much he's getting beat up?
01:52So, could he fit in in that respect?
01:54He's not a big cap hit.
01:56He's pretty young.
01:57That could work.
01:58Right?
01:59Like, you could make that make sense to me from a contract standpoint.
02:04Of course, I'd, of course, rather draft one.
02:06But.
