"The original DeLorean was made in Dunmurray, a suburb of Belfast in Northern Ireland. I did not know that until just now. And I am trusting that Google is not steering me wrong, pun intended. The Lions in the hub of American automobile manufacturing need to build a DeLorean plant. They need to get the first one off the line. They need to retrofit it with plutonium. They need to get it to 88 miles an hour. And they need to go back in time and get this deal done before the start of training camp. This is the big takeaway, Chris, and I am folding this into something that Micah Parsons said earlier this week. They asked him about the play that resulted in his torn ACL week 15 against the Denver Broncos. When you go back and look at that Micah, does it seem strange? Do you wonder why it happened? It looked like a fairly routine play. And he said, it was an accumulation of things, including no training camp. This is the risk. This is the old Dan Reeves justification for Jamal Anderson tearing his ACL early in the 1999 season after he held out following his spectacular year in 1998 that fueled a Super Bowl appearance by the Falcons. If you're not getting the work in, if the ligaments, the bones, the cartilage, the tendons, if they're not gradually being prepared for what's to come, you are potentially going to be susceptible to injury. And I think that teams, agents, players need to realize when we have contracts like this, we need to have a real deadline. We need to trust each other. We need to enter into these negotiations in good faith. We don't need to be trying to screw each other over and get a great deal, which means a bad deal for the guy. Here's our deadline, because it's in everyone's interests to have the player practicing in training camp. These deals, Jonathan Taylor should have gotten done before camp, Bajon Robinson should have gotten done before camp, Jameer Gibbs should have gotten done before camp. That's when the Lions should have done it. So failing that, you know, and they need to get it done. They need to get done. A-S-A-F-P."

"Well, forget what we said about what we'd be saying in this segment, because, and I want to thank the Atlanta Falcons. Maybe, just maybe, they leaked this information before 9 a.m. Eastern to give us a chance to talk about it and react to it in real time. Maybe, just maybe, they were listening to us yesterday, and we said, get this thing done. Like, what are you waiting for? Bijan Robinson is one of the best players in the entire National Football League. You gain nothing by having him not practice. And it was the Falcons who experienced the loss of Jamal Anderson for all of the 1999 season when he held out and tour in ACL. And then Falcons coach Dan Reeves, who was still the coach when Arthur Blank bought the team, said, that's what happens when you don't practice. Got to get him on the field, got to get him ready to go, got to get the ligaments, the tendons, the muscles, the bones. You got to get everything in football condition. So they get the deal done and per multiple reports. And remember, 25 million was the magic number. Yes. So the deal is, and this is one of those examples where Upto is doing some heavy lifting. It's a three-year extension worth up to 75 million. They want us to think it's 25. It's not 25. He's got to do some stuff to get to 25. And sometimes we know what he's got to do. Sometimes they keep that under wraps. Sometimes you got to be the Super Bowl MVP to get your max value. Sometimes it's very reachable things that you've already done. Chris Alave's contract recently, for example, he's got 2 million a year in upside. And it's based on a series of factors that he's never reached in his NFL career. Never, not any of the factors. He's got to hit all of them to get the 2 million. He's never hit one of them. So that's going to be a factor as well. But the base is probably closer to 22 and a half. My guess, that's just a guess. I would think so. With 2 and a half million in upside. That's what gets you. And a 3-year extension means he'll be back at the trough. Now it's a 5-year deal. Remember that too. There are no extensions in the NFL. They're going to rip up the 2 years that are left. And they're going to replace it with a 5-year contract. So he's under contract for 5 years. And the new money is worth up to $25,000. The old money, it's a whole separate calculation. We'll get the numbers. We'll do the full breakdown at PFT. But the good news is the logjam is broken and the Falcons can get down to business of trying to win the NFC South, which you and I both believe they can."
