And because that affects your future?

Because even if Ben comes back next year, he's only there for a year.

So you need to know what Who's Who's the guy in the future, if they do bring you back, that's gonna be throwing you the football.

And how heavy does that weigh on your decision?

Um, it's that you know that the fact that you know, yeah, we've been coming back and all that obviously look very band.

Um, you know, as much as I can then, uh, if that's possible, let's make it happen.

As far as just a quarterback in the future goes, uh, you know, that's something I have to speak with.

You know, Coach Tomlin, Mr Rooney, who?

They have plans for the future and stuff like that.

But, uh, as it right now, you know, I'm just, you know, it's literally I'm just waiting to see where all the pieces go on then and then I finally make my decision, but I do take into account that, you know, I would love to play with a great quarterback Yeah.

With that in mind, it's something that we've been watching.

And Bart mentioned that trade.

That's the first of what some people think is going to be several moves involving quarterback.

Some teams will be drafting them.

Some teams will be trading them in some big names.

Uh, Stafford being the biggest one so far.

But other names been dangled out there to Shawn Watson.

Uh, even Aaron Rodgers name has been out there.

That could move.

Is that where you are?

Especially with your position being a free agent?

Is that what you mean?

Let me see where the pieces fall.

Let me see where some of these guys end up, and then I'll think about where I wanna go.

Like, do you either have a list of preferred places or do you say no?

No, no.

I'm not even gonna make that list until I see what?

Where some of these players go a za right now.

You know, it's definitely exactly how you said, you know, I'm just waiting to see where wherever players go.

Um, you know, I have a mind like, you know, when you're playing chess, you like, like four or five moves ahead, and I have some teams in mind that is just like Okay, if this person goes here, this person goes there.

That's a possibility.

Now, you know, you look up and some of the reports out that Matthew Stafford said, trade me anywhere but New England.

But New England, right?

And that's that's that's crazy that we hear that that to me.

You can't see it because your current player, I'm a habitual live stepper and I hate the Patriots because I've been in the division, whether they killed me when I was with Baltimore or when I was with the Jets.

But for years we thought that everybody was going there to be a part of that culture.

It seems like now everybody was going there to play with Tom Brady, the goat who's in his what 10th Super Bowl, like, um, is the Patriots on your list?

And if the Jets get Watson way, let's take it one step at a time.

I e getting the green.

I don't know what you're trying to do before you.

Before you put on the full court press, we got real money.

Let's still I still would rather you're putting words in about.

Let let me hear from juju about this, okay?

The idea of Stafford said, anywhere but New England.

Tom Brady has left there.

Is there something about New England now, without Brady there, that makes them less attractive for free agents.

I mean, as far as far as like you do you think about and every NFL team, you also get ball.

Okay, Who's the head coach?

And then you go into the next chapter, Who's our quarterback?

And I think because you know, the meaning doesn't have a legit like like quarterback.

Who said in mind right now, this kind of tough, you know, Two people make decisions, you know, to go there.

I think when time radio is their military was there.

You know, you talk about the one of the best duels to ever do.

It is the best tools to ever do it.

Uh, you remove Tom Brady on.

They still don't have, you know, a quarterback in line for the future.

It's just tough.

That is, anybody, z anything.

You know, that's anywhere you go.

You know, like you said, some things were gonna draft quarterback this year, and sometimes they're looking Thio see where people go?

Um and you know, as far as the shot walks in his situation, I mean, that's that's another chest move that, you know, we're going to see, Like, where he wants to go.

Uh, just curious assed faras.

You know, the patriots being the option e mean, I honestly, a lot of anything could be object with me.

No, no, no, no.

I was thinking It's miserable up there.

Life is miserable practices miserable.

Bill is horrible.

That's why nobody wanna go there, Matthew.

Staffers like I got a taste of the Patriot way without the winning with Patricia.

I'll be damned if I go there and deal with that again.

What are you looking for?

Out of where you want to go If it's stay or go somewhere else.

What are the most important things to you aside from of course, of course.

Money.

Oh, yeah.

Easily.

Who?

The GMs who had coaches and who my quarterback is.

Those are obviously the quarterback.

Something comes first before, before anything.

Because their parents were on the field.

Um, in the day, you know, I feel like the money is gonna be there, you know, it Z.

I wanna go to a team where you know where we win, You know, I wanna win.

I wanna compete, you know, for playoff games for Super Bowl, literally all that.

I cannot see myself being on a team where we don't compete.

You know, we don't because, you know, it was just me up alive.

One thing I've always, you know, talk to other players.

They always said, You know, the grass is always greener on me being with us for the past four years, I'm two guys go and try to come back and you know, it doesn't work out.

I think guys go and come back to the stores.

Um You know, I feel like I built my foundation and my future.

You know what with the stutters.

And is there something that you know we're gonna have to rebuild, um, with fillers that's getting out.

Well, I don't mind doing that, too, but that also come to take that, you know, being paid for what I'm worth and, uh, stuff like that.

So But then again, you know, it's not that the stone, Like I said, you know, all the chest, all the chess pieces have to be played and then from there, um, possible, You know, places are what they have to offer among everyone.

Where do you put yourself?

What's the company that you are in right now?

Um, I'm like, I'm probably like I don't like them.

Like number 32 here in the NFL right now.

Oh, now you want to be modest Corvette Corvette.

No, you don't.

You don't come out with your own dance.

If you that modest stop that.

You don't believe that.

I'll tell you what would you e I just I just No, I just know there's a lot of great receivers out there, you know?

I'm still trying to be one of them, so, you know, we keep pushing.
