I expect there to show British football Friday patriots Friday is we get ready for a opening weekend here the National Football League you get off to a one game last night. Patriots will play on. Monday night let's talk a little football and we'll talk about a brand new trench fantasy football league it's up near that he's involved did Julius live full lives. Fifteen seasons in the NFL three Super Bowl rings we remember those -- to probable. Selections along with the 86 career sacks but the New England Patriots general body will -- joins us live in the fall much as well.
It was over. If the summit from themselves by -- blast that.
Alia now has what we're doing -- well let me ask you straight -- as your -- probably could answer this quite quite well. How do you think Richard Seymour. Is that you might have even talked to in the last couple days obviously these field above all this plays all of those used for the patriots and now he's being traded awaited deal primaries.
Iraq but in -- backcourt. But. Actually ever spoke to Richard. The term is to make right now. I think. Probably they that there were some of our Richard known as well that these. And at a rate -- match yours and you know -- one of those. And those league's signature -- long. So. But he sort of surprised. -- betrayed by you know. In football and anything goes in the has been as always the two. And those agents was Norton. With with with. There is so. You know. Richards who make a lot of money earned -- well. One of the you very much in the game and yet when you -- orders contract and want. A great it would terms -- From the pages of court and now but from somebody. And virtual world work. In the days or it knows the first -- it. Work for the whatever sort though polls over the world there's make those citizens and they the page. It's probably it would that's. Is probably. What all the way -- like -- you know from Europe there's broad a lot of at it would. Lot of players know how to do that.
You -- and and I wonder -- you get up -- and -- you still productive you can still play the game at a fairly high level. Yet Euro money gets to be too high suddenly. You're not real attractive to your present team because they're dealing with cap numbers and everything else. Is the game right now visit the fact that we got this. -- rookies can -- here. And -- a set position can make more money than a seasoned veterans 2829. Years old is out of that system right now.
Well in the there's a lot of questions with that about it players. Quarterback or the line effect and care about who commit themselves. And they -- money but there's there's. More more cases words -- about -- commitment make a lot of money. And they don't they don't actually earn them money right away and there's -- should be like only. Certain players if it's rap -- one of those older players that that believe that. You'll or paid -- Should be added to use it sitting on. How long been -- relief or or or. If it's your third four year -- it's well here I think he should be paid according to Europe for productivity. I think it's one of those players with the current order. As what thirteen -- what is -- And the guys playing great so that means because these 3830. Yours so whatever he says he doesn't deserve. A good contract O stated. We got on the other hand -- now -- are. Make a lot of money as and as you know as. Well I think you're you're papers and which you know visit. Is in have been in the do with the aid if they built them. -- long term contract and is that a bit player what is worth -- you're announced our contracts are artery where it really accurate these. Our conference where you're years. You know so I ordered its but he really productive and keep in acting and liked them and sort of help motivate guys and and the most important thing is -- now what that is let. And productive. Great now one of the hype got on the and it got it doesn't have to be long. While. Annika. Apparently never got it not that -- okay the -- some money. It is not dornin. The open our. -- where it is.
So will you treat -- most of the most of veterans would have no problem with thirty rookie salary cap as long as there's still. Minimums. Both the floor of of how much are gonna pay the veterans.
Yeah I mean you know what I think that. Okay it refuses of people four I was entrap others appears certain -- well. Once or whatever word okay make you pay a certain amount which is a lot different in the other extra paper college. -- could be. These -- operate the contract. -- because these. That you know -- old old -- they they have made record your when your window. If they can be entered the.
Well that they're talking about setting up rookie slots for each position in the first round of the draft and attaching a certain figure that. And I think that played big in the Richard Seymour being dealt Oakland because it's not a 2010. First round -- of 2011. And that the patriots are anticipating what that's when that rookie slotting. Well actually until they don't have to take the risk and I agree with you you don't and a year to year basis. It makes sense but most players wanna guaranteed their contracts -- what there as you know there with their -- are getting big huge bonuses of what you get a big huge bonus. Because it's pro rated for each year is it really becomes more of a guaranteed deal.
That would that mean that way so we know we go after he can't like in the like there's four and affable soul. The only way we can guarantee that a breeder of these report uses its -- and those whispers it's it's in you do. In you do --
And listen I'm not I'm blaming -- do the same thing yeah anyway earlier on their -- locker room you hear Randy Moss talk about Oakland you hear Burgess talked about Oakland how bad it is. You go to Oakland.
Load you know. I'll always turn out that it is in the that that's not like that and well. His -- they -- in whether as that happens to be in there and I've never experienced it by you know. I -- after being in the league would and so it in Cleveland it would -- relations. People that do things right -- PayPal wanted votes. -- Right org -- there's right now and that because I've ever inspired fear and hope it. How they conduct their business by. You know of which were player -- to do a lot of there's a -- of its players in front of business first flat.
But I guess I guess wrote it out I guess I'm asking if it's if you know you've been traded in yet in this and you forced to play your hand. Would you hold out would you sit out -- would you go.
Quote that there was that was best for Richard you know what what is the canal -- work -- 01. Make it do those comic view one. Unfortunately it might not be would we and so I have to wait options out anything. -- but hey we want the play. Now -- of those of the courses of its businesses all -- while also albeit at Eaton you know oh we're -- in the organization and waiting now. -- it's been fortunate. Two. I have been to the hopefuls and he's -- and so global at a young age in the league record for the playoff losses spurs right on the on the he uses only rice and he's been there done that. Right so he's been there done that so now of course. Okay now but in Portland future out if there's there's really -- contract or secure like its -- And you know like had to do was pressed for these so you know and and making those decisions that there's something to do with an outlet. -- It's okay it's about China yet another rate -- others that are right that a guy like Randy Moss then he's had it's contract. And on teams that work very bill with all of all the other stuff that goes on his business in particular re right though that you know that was that was his -- just to -- that essentially.
Did you have a desire to come back in play this year and did you communicate at all with the patriots about coming back lot.
The bill and you know we've had some. -- well on the -- sources swears that there be and organization boards. Announced the moves were announced. Available right now about -- a while back and I'm not gonna -- some players in here. The musical back from the models think. I sort -- outlook the highest in all art these. Of course we will with a lot of games but -- it -- outwit -- partner and every week so. If the right situation presents itself to Munich next week I'm -- imitated. To handle which is and what -- talks. If not on contentment. A -- a must reapply it was great aptly. -- it's great organizations with some great coaches and made about a business relationships. Relationships in the community played so. It's vital -- active player to.
But -- so we would tune in baseball guys come back for. Have season -- you a little bit of it in the NFL to was that a possibility.
You know that's -- me. The compared with six game. Obama's. -- most of the we have a more provinces since college you know model would be rated. It's a different trading transparency. And -- rated foresees or. Yeah out airplane and you know there are rated and I have a lot of respect for. -- You know you'd be. -- so. Compensated. With that with that there's it was well perhaps plays out but not wait. Around all year is the you know -- You know what happened about.
And listed -- based on everything you just told us. If you played fifteen seasons in the NFL and you didn't have those championship rings the Super Bowl championship rings. Would you be feeling different about coming back in May be coming back -- lesser money right now like.
Probably so. Amir. To be honest yeah yeah problems of course. What was that over worry about. It would seem that editor orders of -- Of course what would.
Based on accomplishments I guess your goals do changes you go through life ready -- hasn't. For example of that right.
