Joe also had to understand this his business. It's his business, and the Browns have one way of doing things. They've done things one way. And despite what he may say, despite his concerns about wanting Tree to be paid, or him or being a distraction with him not getting paid. This is the way they conduct business. All teams conduct business in the same manner. They're not going to be swayed or forced or bullied into paying the individual based on how we as players, whether we deform or fans see fit. They're going to do things their way. They paid, They paid Joe Burrow, they paid Jamar Chase, they they paid t Higgins. I don't know. I don't have the numbers in front of me. I don't know how much is left, uh in caloriees, salary cap space.

But not enough to pay trade what he wants.

But not enough to pay trade what he wants.

Would not actually not enough to pay him what he wants. But I'm assuming maybe they're trying to find some middle ground. But from what I've heard that there are no talks going on at all, So I do trade. Trey is standing in his ground, and he's not in a position despite being the sack leader last year and the sack leader before that the year before that. Like he was a sack leader, but what was our defense rank? Can someone look that? Can't ass look that up right now? I mean, he just was really quick, just curious.

Without trade, you'd have been you'd have been seventeenth in college, so you had trade for you at the bottom at the NFL.

Okay, so they look at all that, they look at it. Listen, I wanted to get paid. I wanted to get paid for based on what he's done, you know, to date. But they look at it completely different than the way we look at it as fans, and obviously me. Listen, I love my banngals and I love I would love for trade to get bade. But uh, it's a tough spot that we're in. I'm not sure what's gonna happen. I think at some point, if things don't get worked out, I'm assuming maybe a trade of some sort might happen at the least opportune time, when we least expected.

I think at some point, if things don't get worked out, I'm assuming maybe a trade of some sort might happen at the least opportune time, when we least expected.

I look at it like this, oh Joe, considering he's the best defensive player, and when you look at that defensive line, who else? Most teams have two guys, yes, yes, you know, you have Micah and then you have another guy. Or you look at let's just say, for the sake of Ark, you look at the Eagles, they have multiple guys. You look at Kansas City they have Chris Chris Jones and have Coloftus. You know, they have multiple guys most teams, although they're not on the same level, but they have. You look at a hot Smith and you look at Watt, so most guys have somebody.

And yeah, I mean, my goodness, like we we need trade in the in the the dearest dearest way possible to try to do what we can defensively. So we can we can. We can start a little better this season. You know, I know we always talk about the offense. You know, they always start slow, always out out the gate, you know, being zero and to or one in one whatever.

We got to stop somebody though, Yeah, we gotta be okay you said, I'm saying, but here's the thing. They have one bad too bad possessions. Their defense can't stop anybody. Now, all of a sudden, you fourteen points down. Hey, you gotta lead. Okay, let's just say, for the sake of Barbie, you have a And we saw this against Baltimore.

Yeah, we're gonna be gonna plug and play then, huh.

Yeah, we're gonna be gonna plug and play then, huh.

Yeah, we got to remember. Pratt was like, hey, he wanted a contract extension. He wanted to be you know, want to bump and pay. They're like, noah, bro, we can't bump you and pay. I was reading, now, I don't know you know, maybe somebody just throwing out numbers. I think Trey's supposed to make what fifteen, sixteen, seventeen million.

Yeah, we got to remember. Pratt was like, hey, he wanted a contract extension. He wanted to be you know, want to bump and pay. They're like, noah, bro, we can't bump you and pay. I was reading, now, I don't know you know, maybe somebody just throwing out numbers. I think Trey's supposed to make what fifteen, sixteen, seventeen million.

Yeah, they're trying to get him to twenty eight.

Yeah, they're trying to get him to twenty eight.

I don't think he's looking at list anything that doesn't start with a three. No, I'm not now I honestly, because you see, you see he's like, hold on, one guy making fifty five, another guy making forty, another guy making thirty, and then y'all want me to come in at twenty eight, And he sees Miles Garrett. He knows Michael is about to get something that starts with a four. Y'all want me to start with a two? Yeah, I just don't see that.

I don't think he's looking at list anything that doesn't start with a three. No, I'm not now I honestly, because you see, you see he's like, hold on, one guy making fifty five, another guy making forty, another guy making thirty, and then y'all want me to come in at twenty eight, And he sees Miles Garrett. He knows Michael is about to get something that starts with a four. Y'all want me to start with a two? Yeah, I just don't see that.

Not. Let's be fair.

Not. Let's be fair.

If he wants to get what he wants, he's not gonna be able to get it because everything you just ran off, we just pakee making fifty five, then there's no room for you to make do you tall? Do you take a discount? Do you take a discount?

If he wants to get what he wants, he's not gonna be able to get it because everything you just ran off, we just pakee making fifty five, then there's no room for you to make do you tall? Do you take a discount? Do you take a discount?

And no, the question is better question does he miss the first eight games and then come back to the last eight games to make sure he gets a credited season, or does because that's what I would do, because if you don't come back, they still have your rights. So I would you know it. That depends on how serious he is about his money.

And no, the question is better question does he miss the first eight games and then come back to the last eight games to make sure he gets a credited season, or does because that's what I would do, because if you don't come back, they still have your rights.

Oh, he's serious. He's serious, and this this is the thing that you can do when they know you the game, when they know you love the game, and they know you can't stay away from the game. There was want to be team first team that teams and team oriented and be the but when it comes time to play, this is what this is what happens. Yeah, let's talk about the Bengals in general. I'm talking about in general. They will use your love for the game against you because the bus inside of things will sneak upon you and bite your nass. Yeah.

I'm trying to think a guy that Sean Gilbert might be the only guy that I can remember that missed the whole season and then he ended up turning around and getting paid. I think he went to Carolina. I think it's with Washington and he ended up going to Carolina. It might be vice versa, but that's what I mean. I think the thing is to say what I would do. It's easy to say what because you're not in that situation. Me.

I ain't missing no time.

I ain't missing no time.

I understood that that was time I wasn't gonna be able to get back. And like you said, Oh Joe, I think the thing is, they know the guys that really.

I understood that that was time I wasn't gonna be able to get back. And like you said, Oh Joe, I think the thing is, they know the guys that really.

Everybody don't love the game like we do. Now.

Everybody don't love the game like we do. Now.

Yeah, definitely, so they're gonna hard time up. Well, it's all we got knowing. Damn well, we might miss a game, but we ain't missing no half of those seasons, entire season.

Yeah, definitely, so they're gonna hard time up. Well, it's all we got knowing. Damn well, we might miss a game, but we ain't missing no half of those seasons, entire season.

We love it too much. Listen.

We love it too much. Listen.

And the funny thing about it is, I love the game, but I think during my time I was in fortunate situations. I think where they came to me early twice, right in the early where I didn't have to deal with that type of situation. It just to me, it's almost it's almost a slapping the face a little bit when you think about it. Yeah, almost a slapping the face. And we take it personally as players, and I know they do when situations like this arise. When you understand what your value is, you understand what the market is, and then you have a team that's hesitant in giving you said market value. Listen, one thing about it. I don't care how many how many players you got got paid. There's always a way to make it happen depending on who the players. You do understand that, right.

Yes, But what I don't get from the Bengals, Oh Joe, if you had this problem last year and you didn't resolve it and during the season or after the season, what makes you thought the the problem is going to go away. It's like if you have a disease and don't talk about it, just because you don't talk about it, you better go get it, you better treat it. Yeah, because talking about it, but because not talking about a problem.

Like it's like two people argue, oh Joe, and you go to bed.

Like it's like two people argue, oh Joe, and you go to bed.

That issue is not gonna be resolved in the morning because you didn't talk about it that night. As a matter of fact, you're gonna give people an opportunity to build up. They're like this bofo playing with me. He couldn't address me. They know, so you led over the steaming. She led over the steaming. You know, you get out of bed in the morning, you stepping on lips because the lip poked out to the flow. His lips poked out to the flow. So I don't understand how the Bengals thought this situation. And he had another seventeen and a half sex season and he led the NFL in sacks and somehow you thought he was nobody.

Guys are not you know.

Guys are not you know.

Teams always want you to think, oh, take big picture. No, the big picture is me and my family, and that's the big picture I'm thinking about. I don't know what y'all, Peyton, because Ojo what they what they tell you, Ojoe when they release players? You here and I think we're gonna talk about this a little later. Joah here yea and Google Kiff said what he's said. They're always thinking about what is the best interest of the team.

Okay, what is the best interest of the business?

Okay, what is the best interest of the business?

Okay? Players are businesses, Yes, what isn't the best interest of Trey Hendrickson? Not playing is in the best interest to Trey Henderson being all unest Now, I'm not telling the guy what he should or what he shouldn't do, but this is what we do know. He take his ass out there on that field, and he gets anything that happens, Lord forbid, it does not.

Yes, sir, he ain't getting no pay day.

Yes, sir, he ain't getting no pay day.

You know that.

You know that.

I know that, Yes, sir, Yeah, listen. I think is tough one tough spot. The Bengals organization is in a tough spot. Trey Hendrickson is in a tough spot. Joe Burrow saying that it's a distraction to those that are in an organization, those that are that are on the team, those that are at mini camp right now. I think for the fans it's a distraction and it's just like overwhelming and they're like, God, damn, here we go again. But again fans. As players, you have to be able to separate the personal side of being a football player in the business side. I think if you can, you can compartmentalize and be able to separate the two and understand that it is business first. It's not personal. It's nothing against you as a player, but this is the way they conduct themselves, not just with the Bengals, but with every team in general. I think you'll be all right. I want Tray to get his money though, you know, even if it's not with us, I would love to see him back with the Bengals, but I would also love to see him get what deserves somewhere else.

Because I think the thing is, Oh Joe. What happens is that Joe would like to talk about what a great deal practice they're had, Yes, sir, but the media is asking him about Trade's contract. They're asking him about the rookies contract, who we're going to talk about in just a second. So he's like, bro, I'm trying to say, hey, T and I had a great comment, had a great work today. We got some great work to done today. We got better today. But you're asking me about a player that's not here. I don't know what you want me to say. Joe is being the leader that he is. Yeah, we love to have Trade, and I think he's done enough to he's earned, not deserve, he's.

Earned a raise and pay because guess what.

Earned a raise and pay because guess what.

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, Oh Joe, instead of having seventeen and a half sacks, he had five and a half sacks. Do you think they would keep him on the contract that he has now? Absolutely not, I answer it for you know they wouldn't. So now he outperformed the contract, you don't want to reward him, but if he underperformed, you will punish him. Yes, and that's the way it is, and hopefully fans like see that and I understand. Look, I understand you weren't running a business, but guys normally played better guy's team after being in you know, a business you're working, perform better when they're compensated.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, Oh and you're happy, yes, which is which is one of the reasons. Why do you think they always go ahead and pay the quarterback. Yes, they always paid the quarterback. You get your quarterback out the way, so he had nothing to worry about. He's in the right state of mind and you can focus on the job at hand, no distractions and again, not being able to get your money after putting in all the work, you know, the sacrifice, the sweat, the injuries.

He led. I mean there, I mean he led the entire league in sacks. He did that, Yeah he I mean he had seventeen and a half. He was I mean, he was in the running for defensive Player of the Year. And he's probably thinking to himself, what the hell do I have to do to get rewarded for my hard work.

Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart is still waiting to take his first practice rep in the NFL. He also had some words for the Bengals today in comparing his situation with trades. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart is still waiting to take his first practice rep in the NFL. He also had some words for the Bengals today in comparing his situation with trades. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

Like some people say, we all greed, trade will be right, right, but technically still one percent wrong for being under contract. So and in my case, I'm one hundred percent right, so it should be a no brainer. And in trades case, I think it should be a no brainer too. I mean, he led seventeen and a half second two for two years back the back.

If I was the gym or I was the owner, take all my money.

If I was the gym or I was the owner, take all my money.

But I guess they don't offer it like that, but you know they do not. Hey, listen, hey, it's easy to say take all my money when you not the gym, and oh yes, money don't easy to say that, but listen, you learn quick. You learn, you learn quick, and you learn fast. Rookie will understand that this is a business and it's running a little different. It's running little different. Now he's had seventeen and a half sex back to back seasons, right, and then they're they're hesitating, they're hesitant on paying them. So in situations like this, this will tell you how they really feel about you. Yes, depending on the player is, depending on who the player is and how much they value you and what you bring to the table. Oh man, they're not even playing when it's time to get paid. I don't care who I don't care who you are.

Let's say this is what Mike Florio for Pro Football Focus right this Football Talk PFT. He said, the Bengals have decided to wedge a new clause into Stuart's deal. The clause would turn a default in any given year into a void of all remaining guarantees, and prior Bengals contracts avoid wiped out only the guarantees for the year in which the default occurred. Stuart refuses to be the be guinea pig for the new term, and the Bengals refused to blink. As a result, Stuart will be less prepared for training camp than he would have been.

So in other word, a lot of times they put a clause in there.

So in other word, a lot of times they put a clause in there.

Oh Joe, it's said if you do something wrong, the money you were supposed to get in that year, right is wiped away. Now they put the new clause in there say if you do something wrong, any guaranteed that you're supposed to get in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight. That's gone too. Oh no, hell no.

Oh Joe, it's said if you do something wrong, the money you were supposed to get in that year, right is wiped away. Now they put the new clause in there say if you do something wrong, any guaranteed that you're supposed to get in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight. That's gone too. Oh no, hell no.

I understand. To me, honestly, I don't. I don't like the verbiage. But again I would. I would have it on a year to year basis and this year if you mess up, you know, and there was contact der MISSISSI the team or sess that is that serious where we need to recoup some of that money back. That's guaranteed I see fit to do so. But yes, messing up on the board the board pop absolutely not hell and not over what. But man, that made me curse. Don't made me curse that I just got seen the other day.

I understand. To me, honestly, I don't. I don't like the verbiage. But again I would.

Don't made me curse that I just got seen the other day.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Don't do that. But I know they're trying to set a president. I'm not sure what president that not with me not listen outside of don't get in any trouble period. I don't know if he has a pass, if he has the past history of doing things wrong, I don't know for them to actually want to put that clause in his contract all of a sudden, out the blue set a president with this individual. I'm not sure what his path looks like, that's anything I could think of, and why they want to do something.

I'm not sure what his path looks like, that's anything I could think of, and why they want to do something.

Like that, and no, but it seems to be like this is something that they're trying to do moving forward to everybody. Yes, only because the clause would the default in any given year into a void of all remaining guaranteed and prior being contracts, a void wiped out only guaranteed for which the year the default a courage. So if he did something in twenty five, okay, we wipe out the guarantees in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight is protected. Now they're saying, if you default in twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight get wiped away. Oh hell no, oh Joe, that's the whole purpose of guaranteed, if to be able to get to guarantee. Yes.

Like that, and no, but it seems to be like this is something that they're trying to do moving forward to everybody.

Yeah, I have a question. Are there any other NFL teams that practice the same clause in their contracts?

Yeah, I have a question. Are there any other NFL teams that practice the same clause in their contracts?

Or we wouldn't We wouldn't know that. Uh, well, there's some some you have a contract. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you and the NFL you're a wide receiver. Or it's like coaches, like a college, like an NFL coach, I give you you say, I got three year left on my deal at twelve million dollars a year, Yes, sir, I get a new job whatever. So now it offsets. So what to happen is offset language. So if I get a job from another team, howver much that team plays, that I have to pay the remaining So if I get a deal for nine million over there, I only have to pay three million over here where I left got left at. You know what I'm saying, right some people right here, there is no offset language. Jimbo Fisher, Jimbo Fisher got released, he gives all eighty of that remaining money.

Or we wouldn't We wouldn't know that. Uh, well, there's some some you have a contract. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you and the NFL you're a wide receiver.

You know what I'm saying, right some people right here, there is no offset language. Jimbo Fisher, Jimbo Fisher got released, he gives all eighty of that remaining money.

It was eighty two to be exact, Okay, I remember that.

It was eighty two to be exact, Okay, I remember that.

So sometimes they try to put offset language where you can't double dep. Players can't double dep. So if you get released and you go sign with another team, they ain't got nothing to do with you. I want the money that you owe me, and I'm gonna get the money they gonna give me that. Don't you worry about what I got. You just gonna make sure that a just go ahead and make sure you keep your chicks coming. I will be hey, you got you got the wide number, go and put it in there, direct the posit. So that's what and some teams do. Some teams will have offset language. If you get another job, even in TV, you get released by one network, you go somewhere else. They just pay the difference, So you got X whatever the case may be. So if you get if you get say five million over here, you only get two and a half over there.

Hey, hey man, this is this is as much as people love the beautiful game, they I don't think they understand the nasty business side of it. No, they don't nasty business side of it. It can get other, It can get very ugly. And the fact there is a reason why when it comes to contracts and negotiations or or a situations like this is the reason why the agents go in there are not the players. Because if the players go in those rooms and you hear how owners really feel about you and what they really want to do, and the language they want to put in the fire, the five print language that they want to put in contracts to protect themselves from having to pay you long term if you mess up. They oh listen, it was it was some stuff. I don't want to bring up the past, but it was some stuff in in Tea's contract and in Chase's contract that was that wasn't suitable.

It wasn't Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

It wasn't Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

You know, it wasn't right. So if they were, if they if they were doing it to Tea and Chase, you know who the meeting potatoes that that offense outside of Joe, I know they're gonna do it the trade and they definitely gonna do it to the rookie.

You know, it wasn't right. So if they were, if they if they were doing it to Tea and Chase, you know who the meeting potatoes that that offense outside of Joe, I know they're gonna do it the trade and they definitely gonna do it to the rookie.

But it's it's it's business man, it's it's business.

But it's it's it's business man, it's it's business.

Now, how can this go though? What if he refuses to play? What if he refuses to sign the contract unless they remove that language?

Now, how can this go though? What if he refuses to play? What if he refuses to sign the contract unless they remove that language?

What happens? That's it. They either have to remove the language or he has to say that I'm not playing.

Pakrapheo and President Mark Murphy had some shame for Joy Alexander when asked about the recent release. He's been a great player for US, obviously, elite tallent. Unfortunately just injure a lot. Unfortunately, that's a big part of the game. We see that we've been used to playing without him. Alexander played fourteen games over the last two seasons.

Yeah, damn, hey play fourteen games. Listen. Injuries, it's something you can't avoid. But one thing I know about that young bull. When he's healthy, when he's on the field and he's playing man the man in your face, he's gonna get everything he got any one of the best that he wanted, the best at it, but it doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's been injured. I can only speak on what I've seen. When I see him on the field. He gonna talk that trash through YouTube and back it up the best he can. Him and Justice Jeffs the matchups. Those matchups were classic. He wants and he lost some. But either way, I'm tuning in every time. Who used tolde them together, he gonna go somewhere. I don't know where you're gonna go.

That's the toughest part about it, Ochoe, because being available is a big part of how good you are. You know, boy, he's a good worker. When I can get him to come to work, that is't what the day did right right? Uh? And I look, he's injured. I think he said he had a maniscus or something. He had a shoulder injury. When you play a skilled position, it's hard to go out there and play with something wrong with you because you got a lower extremity. Because that's how where am I going though, Joe? If I can't all of a sudden, I can't be sudden all of a sudden, I'm a dB and I can't raise my arm. How do I knock down the pass? How do I intercept the past? Or if I got an injury, bout something with my knee, my hips or something ankles? Because guess what only thing people in the stand seeing, people at home see, man, y'all you're a game up a touchdown. Man, I'm sorry. He don't feel off bad because he used to be good. He doesn't feel off bad. That's what they see. They don't see Monday to you know, and getting treatment and all that stuff. You're not able to practice, you potentially have to shoot up, you have to take medication. They don't see any of that. All they see is Alexander on the back of that pack of jersey, and whether or not he's making plays or not. It's really that simple. Did you or didn't you?

And I guess they were trying to like come to a number that was amenable to both parties, excuse me, and they could just never get there. Maybe he thought it was too low, they thought it was too high. And at the end of the day, we've seen teams and amount of money they won't eat. Because we seen them eat Aaron Rodgers' contract Green Bay. We've seen the Broncos eat Russell Wilson's contract. So there is not a denomination forty fifty sixty million dollars.
