I mean, Deontay, they were the big spenders here on day one of free agency.

Let's start with Linderbaum.

Are you making the case that this is nuts or are you making the case that this makes sense?

You have money to spend and you're bringing in a rookie quarterback.

I mean, it's hard to overstate how few good players they have who are not on rookie contracts.

It's almost nobody.

It is just the depth chart.

So now you go out and I'm with you.

I probably... Listen, if I were in the room, I would have said...

No, we're not going to $27 million per year on Linderbaum.

We can find a serviceable center who is a veteran who can still do the same job and who we still like pairing with Mendoza.

But I also do understand it.

And they have money to spend and they don't have good players.

And so at least you're spending it on a guy who's in his whatever mid-20s who has been a good player before and you think is going to help your quarterback.

Because that's what everything's about for them starting whatever, six weeks from now.

How do we put this quarterback in position?

to succeed.

So I don't know that I would have gone, gone that high.

I mean, to put it into context, I was thinking about this, the way they reset the center market, Deontay, this would be like if the next quarterback contract was at 90 million per year.

Right.
