He's got an edge on every other quarterback out there because money is no object because the Falcons are paying for it. You know what I mean? So he would go out there and be able to pick whatever the best football situation is for him. It's a good example, I think, for other players how to use your leverage. It's also like...
I mean, it's not realistic for some guys in other positions to do it that way. I mean, give Saquon credit. Saquon played through a franchise tag, and that's how he makes it to the market. It's a tough thing to actually look at life-changing money on the table and pass it up and say, I'll wait a year or two until they actually let me go to the market.

Here's the crazy thing. So if you go back... I'm looking at it again right now. Those franchise tags are fully guaranteed, right? So his first franchise tag was 2016. So for the last nine seasons, every dollar he's made has been fully guaranteed before the season.

Yeah. So I think Pittsburgh, I think they, I think my guess is the Russell thing is over. There was, he was, where's, where's he go? And I don't know. I mean, that's the thing is like, I, I could see the Raiders signing Sam Donald again. It's like sort of their Alex Smith in Kansas city. And I think he's a good fit for chips offense and everything else.

Um, you know, if, if that doesn't happen, could Russell wind up with Pete for a year or two, maybe, um, I just don't think you're not going to bring Russell Wilson in and have him in a situation where he's a backup. You know what I mean? Like, so it has to be like a team that's willing to give him a starting job. And I don't know that team's out there, you know?

And I also, I mean, things were not perfect between him and other people in the Steelers building over the course of the year. No way. That shocks me. But then you see it at the end. The crazy thing is, though, Ryan, you see the Jerry Dulac story that came out during Super Bowl week? It was the stuff that Russell's camp was upset about. That stuff was getting out there.

I'm like, what are you doing? Everyone thinks... This is like, everyone thinks that you're like this operator behind the scenes and now you're doing it again. Other teams are going to look at this and like, say like, no, I'm not signing up for that. I don't want to be the next team that happens to, you know what I mean? So like, I, I think he's probably gone.
