Deebo & Joe - Part 2: Deshaun Watson Calls Out Media AGAIN?! + Patrick Queen Stands With Joey Porter Jr

James Harrison (0:00)

And, I mean, it don't bother us as players, you know? Like, that's the whole reason why you had, Patrick McQueen, they talked to Queen, and Queen, you know, Queen was like, yo, I'm witty, 100%, I'm on this side. Like, here, listen to what he said.

Joe Haden (0:16)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (0:17)

No, I haven't heard anything. And I'm with Joey, whatever, whatever he's doing, whether it's injury, whether it's contract, whatever it is, I respect it. I'm a honum, 100%. I tell him every single time I respect how you go about your business every single day.

Cause I know y'all see the stuff that he does out there, but he also is inside, putting in work. Whether it's in the meetings, whether it's in the weight room, whatever it is, so I definitely respect him.

James Harrison (0:43)

Yeah, bro, like this is, this is what it is. Like, this is why it is. Like, we're going to support each other cause we're all in here together. Like, we see, we got eyes. We see what he's doing. We see how he plays. We see what he means to this team. We see what the market is looking like, too, at this position and we know what he's done. We know it's worth to our team, to our defense, to us as players on this defense. Like, this is not something that we're going to go and like flip on. No, here, I'm supporting it, 100% because this is the only option that you really have, right? As a player, this is the only way you can get any type of recourse to what you want to try and get accomplished, especially when your numbers aren't looking as they should or as you feel they should, especially when you're looking at a 33, like, come on, like 33, especially when you're looking at what it is. Even if you go to, you know, the bottom of that seahorn, like, what's his name? JC.

Joe Haden (1:46)

Horn.

James Harrison (1:47)

Yeah, horn. That's still 70 guaranteed on a hundred.

Joe Haden (1:50)

Yeah, 70

James Harrison (1:53)

It's a 25 a year.

Joe Haden (1:54)

It's a guaranteed, that, yeah.

It's a guaranteed. You're exactly right, Deebo, and it's the old school of where, like, you can hear what, let's get to what Queen's saying. Let me get back to that, because a thousand percent, players, we, if we could have paid, if they could pay your dudes, you, he would pay them. We want, we know you, there's nothing we can do when the contracts, every single year, that's agent talk. We, there's nothing that can happen. We want everybody to get paid as much as they possibly can. That's the business aspect of it. We know there's nothing, we can control what we can control. We know what we want them to be out there. So as far as the player goes, it's NFL, not for long. Joey Porter Jr. has been doing what he had to do those first three years, and still, as far as the business, he's under contract for the Steelers, so they got to do what they got to do, but Joey Porter got to do what he got to do. So as far as players understand, you got a short amount of time where you can hit and you can be good and try to take care of your family. I heard when Nick Herbig was talking about it, he was like this, oh, obviously, because I know what this contract did for me and my family. So end of the day, this is football, when we get in the locker room and we're talking to the coaches and we're in these meetings, everybody's working their ass off to do what we can do and perform to the best level. But when we start talking about people's money and how much they're supposed to make and how they're going about their business of taking care of their family and what they feel like they're worth, oh, that's none of my business. I want you to be on the team out here in the locker room. When you get here, you're going to get here and you're going to do exactly what you're doing. But for that, I'm not working. I have a contract that I'm playing for that I like, that's guaranteed, and I've got my stuff going on. I may be in a whole different situation as you, with, I don't care. I just know when you're in this locker room with us, you bring everything and you work hard and you do your job. So do what you gotta do. So that's where people on your team, it's never a rift, I feel like, when they're doing this.
