1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Start with our NFL network insider Ian Rappaport, who joins

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: us on the KA Commas Spirit Health hotline.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Power by Chevron.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Chevron the human Energy company committed to our local communities

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: and safely delivering affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy.

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Ian, Good, afternoon, my friend. How are you what's going on?

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 3: How you guys doing?

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: We're doing good? Uh, thanks for the time.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 4: The Combine, Ryan is, I don't know how I know.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: How much longer do you.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 4: Think they'll have the Combine in its current form?

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, I think it will always be around, and

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: I believe it will be an indie for a long term.

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: I think it's fair that there are some questions, like

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: there weren't a ton of players working out, you know.

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: I think the medical is really important, the energies are

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: really important. But I think one thing that we've seen

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: as players are a little more like in control of

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: their own future and control of their own situations. They

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: want to get paid all these things. You know, I

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: could see it changing a little bit. For instance, you

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: could have where a lot of the good prospects don't participate,

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: but there are some guys who want to be part

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: of it and dream of being part of it. So,

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm really curious to see what forma takes.

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean, the world evolves, the enterpouse to evolve with it.

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: But like, I don't know, it's a really good question.

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 5: He Iana Shelby Hereris here. You know, obviously we always

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: talk about the underwear Olympics. Uh, NonStop, That's what US

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: players think about it. But who and even though you're

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 5: running with no pads on and doing all this stuff,

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 5: that's here relevant. Who helps their stock to most? You

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: would say during this combine week, Well.

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: I sort of had my eyes on some of the

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: quarterbacks skill with There were some past guys that Sala's

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: brothers were fast. Jeremiah Love I think probably solidified himself.

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Didn't help him.

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: He was fine, but probably solidified himself as you know,

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: a top five talent. We'll see where he ends up going.

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: For me, this was about you know, Garrett nuss Meyer,

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: Drew Aller, you know, two quarterbacks were injured, didn't play

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: great this season. We're highly talented coming in coming into

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: the season, and people wanted to see him throw and like,

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: I don't know where they go. It's a little too

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: early for that, but I could see someone talking themselves

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: into like, all right, he was a highly touted quarterback.

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: He didn't play great, but he's really got tons of tools.

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: I can turn him into something. You know, we never

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: see second round quarterbacks. Maybe we see something this year

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 3: which are a little more products than usual. So that's

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: those are the guys.

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: I was sort of thinking of ian Dave Montgomery getting

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: trade today to the Texans, so fourth, the seventh and

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman there Drew Scruggs.

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: So what was your reaction to that trade? Is that

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: about what you thought you'd go for? Uh?

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would say I would say my

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: sort of initial thought was that he was going to

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: be traded for a five, and I think someone kind

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: of came into the last minute and you know, up

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: the officer ended up being a four and a seven

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: and a player, you know, a player who is a

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: backup for them, but still a player. You know. I

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: thought it was a good deal. I think Houston has

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: always done a great job of acquiring you know, veteran

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: running backs who are powerful, who maybe have like a

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: year or maybe two left. I think they'd like to

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: get two years out of them. So they've done it

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: with Joe Mixon. They've done it with Nick Chubb, and

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: now they've done it, you know, the hope to deal

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: with David Montgomery. So I liked it for their standpoint.

72
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: You know, for Detroit they'll probably draft it back, but

73
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: paying Jamior Gibbs obviously a big part of it.

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: So ian final question for me.

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: We were we were talking a little bit earlier and

76
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: the news broke at the Combine in terms of Davis

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: Webb being the primary play caller this upcoming and it's

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: we know what it sort of means to us because

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: we've chopped it up for the last hour or so here,

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: But what does that say to somebody like you in

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: terms of somebody that covers the league on a national basis?

82
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: When you heard that news, what what did it say

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: to you?

84
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's sort of established him as a guy

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 3: who's going to be head coach next year. And I

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: thought to Sean Payton about this as well. You know,

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: I don't know if any job was perfect for Davis

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: this year, and I don't know if it was the

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: right time anyway, He's still really young. But Sean Payton

90
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: empowering him, choosing him to be the guy who can

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: take play calling off Sean Payton's plate, you know, really

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: to me showed him to be all right, he's he's

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: the guy. He's the one to watch for next year,

94
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: they have a good year, like they should. I think

95
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: Davis web will be a head coach. And my guess

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 3: is he was probably headed to do that anyway.

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: All right, last one I have for you, Ian, and

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Only popping on with us last week.

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: Also Albright dragged you over. That was very kind of

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: you to give us some notice. That was right kind

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: of you give us some extra time. Yeah, we have

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: a free agency coming up here in a week, and

103
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: we keep hearing all these rumors about maybe more trades

104
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: this year than and then possibly like a lot of

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: action and free agency.

106
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: What are you hearing about the balance of that?

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we'll get some trades. Teams

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: up cap space. And it's not a great free agent class.

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: So generally, when it's not a great class, you say, like,

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: all right, let's we'll make some trades. So, you know,

111
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: I think.

112
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: We'll get some.

113
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: I think it'll be some you know, maybe some big

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: name guys, more like mid level guys you can't get

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: in trade. Agency, I'll take on this salary that I

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: really don't want for a trade. So I think, you know,

117
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: we'll keep our head in the swivel the next ten

118
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: days or so. It's going to be pretty fun.

119
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: Well, going back to the trade talk, you know here

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: in Denver, the idea of a trade has been spoken

121
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 5: of a lot lately, talking about ajn and you know,

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: him possibly leaving the Eagles and possibly coming to Denver.

123
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: What have you heard necessarily when it comes to the

124
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: Eagles keeping a J Brown or them finally a trade

125
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 5: partner that you know they could get them check them

126
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: out of Philly.

127
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: I don't think the Eagles want to trade AJ Brown.

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: I think they would. I think they would do it

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: for the right deal. I don't think they want to,

130
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: you know, I would say that it's going to be expensive.

131
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be a first rounder and more, and

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: we'll see if anyone meets the price. He's a really

133
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: good player, but he's also a little bit of an

134
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: older receivers on his third contract. I'm pretty up in

135
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: the air now about whether that happens, but I know

136
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: at least they're going to listen.

137
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Ian always appreciate it. Terrific work as always last week man,

138
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and thank you for the time. We'll check it next week. Okay,

139
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate thank Iaport joining us
