00:00He added that CD will request to be traded if the Cowboys do not offer him a new deal
00:20worth at least $32 million a year.
00:24He wants to be at least the second highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.
00:29Bobby, our Cowboys insider back on Friday, added to this and said, I know this tweet
00:34is making the rounds among Cowboy fans.
00:37I won't speak to any potential trade requests, but I do believe that $32 million is the exact
00:43salary floor that CD is holding to.
00:47So Bobby is agreeing with this, that the minimum, the floor for CD on what he wants to make
00:52annually is $32 million.
00:54And if you look at the hierarchy of NFL wide receivers, it makes total and complete sense.
01:01It should be 32 as the floor.
01:03Justin Jefferson now makes 35.
01:06The Vikings kind of screwed everyone while they didn't have much of a choice they had
01:10to, but they jumped the market by three mil because the second highest paid receiver.
01:17You want to guess who it is actually?
01:20Is it?
01:22Good job, Ralph.
01:24$32 million for AJ.
01:26You want to guess the next one?
01:29Tyreek?
01:30No.
01:31Oh, you know what?
01:32You are.
01:33You are right.
01:34He's like $2,000 less than NFC, a guy you love.
01:39And his deal is fresh.
01:41Amon Ra.
01:42Amon Ra makes $30.
01:44Tyreek makes $30.
01:46Jalen Waddell makes $28.
01:48Oh, the Miami Dolphins tying up about 60 mil in two receivers.
01:52Devante 28, Cooper Cup 26-7.
01:56Devante Smith, his new deal has him getting 25.
02:00But all that matters is Jefferson, AJ.
02:02And AJ, that's it.
02:04That's it.
02:05CD Lamb is better than AJ Brown, in my opinion.
02:10So that's improvement.
02:11And at the very least, he's as good.
02:16Unless if you want to insult CD, he's as good at least as AJ Brown.
02:20I think he's better.
02:21I think a lot of people would agree that he's better.
