I think I caught it about half-way through, but here are some of the things he said:
(They were in the middle of talking about Lee Evans' contract and I didn't catch the beginning of that conversation, but what I did hear........)
--They have taken an active approach to trying to lock up their young players and plan on doing that with Lee.
Regarding Lee, asked about other players around the league holding out entering the last year of their deals:
--We've been fortunate not to have that kind of situation in Buffalo over the years and says that's a credit to Dick Jauron and the way players feel about him.....and also because players see they "are buidling something special" in Buffalo.
Asked about bringing in Marcus Stroud, considering it appears the Jags were concerned about his ankle:
--We knew we needed to get bigger up-front....we had our doctors give a thorough look at the ankle. He spent a lot of time with the doctors and they felt very comfortable about making the deal after their reports.
--Mentioned Spencer Johnson right after that and said he is a rotational 3-technique player that will really help.
--Mentioned the addition of Kawika Mitchell and how the presence all three of those players should help each other and the defense over all.
On the CBA:
--I'll have to put a muzzle on when it comes to talking about that.
On the QB situation. Is it a competition or is it Trent's job?
--Coach Jauron has been up-front about saying Trent is the #1 guy. However, We are in a very fortunate position. 64 QBs started in the NFL last year and we have two good young players there. JP has been great handling the situation. He's been here working out and so has Trent.
Finally, on him personally:
--Gave a lot of praise to John Butler for learning under him.
--Ralph Wilson has been a great mentor for him.
