If he's there, if he's lost a step, if he's worth the money, they're going to be throwing the money at you. So yeah, the ego may be there and then be like, hey, man, screw that. Release me. I got to go somewhere else.

But the reality of it is a lot of times, even if you get released by that team because you feel this is a personal attack, when another team picks you up, they're picking up the same contract. Sometimes it's better, and I'll probably mess this up, but it's better to be with the evil you know than the evil you don't know. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably the way that I would approach that.

Yeah, man. And... It's kind of a revolving door, right? Like it's constant. You know, I think our only down time is maybe in the summer. Right. But I would say for me personally and as an agency, what we value. Right. And I'll say it time and time again. And some people take it the wrong way. But when you really unpack it and understand what I'm saying, it's a good thing.

So what I look for are great people who are good football players. Right. Because you can take a great person who is intelligent, who's good at football and make them better at football. Right. That is very possible. But if you have a person who's a great football player, they're a killer on the field, but they're not a good person.

It's a lot harder to make that adjustment and make a character adjustment at 23, 25, 26 years old. Right. And I'm not saying that's not something I'm willing to do. I'm willing to help mentor and guide you and try to develop you. But some of those people don't want it. Right. Hey, I am the guy. I'm the best corner in the NCAA. I don't need to be a better person. Right.

Like that's kind of the attitude you'll get. And the reason that I'm looking for those great people is because, for example, a guy like Swayze Bozeman, right, who played college football for seven years, right, two years in junior college, five years of Southern Mississippi, had some injuries along the way.
