WEBVTT - Bengals Plans, Cut Candidates, and Ask Connie! 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.399 Welcome to NFL Daily, where it's always a good day. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:13.320 To welcome Colleen Wolf back into the Chris Wesley podcast studio. 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:14.360 I'm Greg Rosbald. 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.759 Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic is also here to see 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:19.680 you next Tuesday. 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.040 Crew is back for the offseason. You've been renew good. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.520 I love it. Hello, I'm back, baby, rejuvenated. 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.760 Yeah, I get on by a threadit are we? 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.559 Yeah, because because you were in Philadelphia for the parade 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.320 and we're going to get to that inside and in 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.440 just a second. But we actually have some breaking news 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:48.880 to start the show. Just two minutes ago, NASA has 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.440 updated that there is now a three per point one 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.080 percent chance and asteroid will hit the Earth in twenty 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.520 thirty two, which is up from two point six percent yesterday. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.760 This is the high risk assessment the asteroid has ever received, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.440 surpassing two point seven percent in two thousand and and four. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.000 I feel like this is this is worth stopping down. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.000 I can't really focus on the rest of the show 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:12.880 at this point. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.960 I just want to know if we could pick up 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:15.840 the pace a little bit. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.160 Twenty thirty two is a long way away. Yeah, just 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:19.559 put us out of our I mean. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:20.039 Is it though? 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.560 Like, imagine if you were told that you have a 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.839 three point one percent chance of winning the lottery, wouldn't 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.000 that seem awfully high? 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.199 I would think it's pretty low still, but I guess 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:33.640 it is high. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720 It's definitely high. 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.800 Let me put this into football context. When we said 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.720 that number, I just was like, where have I heard 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.640 something like this percentage? 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:43.959 Before? 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.960 The Rams had like a three percent chance of making 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:52.600 the playoffs this year after start, look what happened. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.440 If you just say, what is every team's chance to 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.040 win the Super Bowl in a given year, it's pretty close. 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.840 To Okay, I can only learn things through a football. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.040 Your team one, your team won much clearer. Now I 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.000 feel like this this should be a bigger deal. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.359 It's asteroid of twenty thirty two. The Philadelphia Eagles were inevitable. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.560 Yeah, if you knew that the earth was going to 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.520 end in seven years, Like, what would that? 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:20.120 Do you know? 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.200 What would you what would you change in terms of 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:23.440 your life process? 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.040 I'd quit my job. I'm just kidding. I love my job. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.720 I would probably move somewhere that's like exotic, by a beach, 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:33.240 like Costa Rica. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.080 Maybe if you like, you wouldn't go to Philadelphia. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.800 The exotic land of Philadelphia. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.240 That's you know what tell us about the preak. We 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.120 haven't talked at all. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.679 We edit out that I said I'm going to quit 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.960 my job. Everyone would quit their job, all. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.120 Right, I could. I mean, nothing matters. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.639 A lot of people, don't, you know, have any money, 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.120 So that would that would be a problem for the 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:55.960 next seven years. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.040 I haven't saved at all. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.960 Do you think that I've saved money? No way, I'll 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:01.919 plan on bartering. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.240 We haven't spoken Colleen since your team won the Super Bowl. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.600 And yeah, the Eagles have gotten a lot of love 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.960 on this show since and yea, I need to hear 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.160 more about it. I want to back up to Super 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.799 Bowl night. But let's start with the parade. Because I 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.760 saw on Instagram you're heading to Philadelphia. I'm like, oh, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.280 that's awesome. The NFL Networks having Colleen covered the parade again. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.560 And then I realized, no, you're You're just there in 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.120 the crowd. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:27.440 No. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.200 I was like, hey, guys, I just so happened to 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.160 be in Philadelphia the day that the parade is happening. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.840 You know you want me to do anything, No, we 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.880 don't need your help. So I was like, okay, cool, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.240 well I can just like go enjoy it. The thing is, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.320 I was always going to be in Philadelphia that day 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.040 because my uncle Jack was getting married that night. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.840 It was Valentine's Day. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.120 So I did a very aggressive double dip of the 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.960 Eagles championship parade followed by a wedding in Northeast Philadelphia. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.440 And speaking of exotic locations, if you're not familiar with 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.160 Northeast Philadelphia, maybe you should book a trip there at 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:03.880 some point soon. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.160 Gorgeous sometime in the next seven years. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.200 Yes, what was it? 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.480 What was it like? It looked like a scene. Did 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.440 you go to the first Breed? 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:13.200 I did? 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.040 I so I covered that. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.839 That was the Cardi B Year when I didn't realize 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.560 I was being recorded and then it was played back 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.200 to me in broadcasts and singing Cardi B. Was very excited. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.799 But it it was interesting because it was two different 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.520 vantage points. So this time I was just hanging out 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:32.720 with my friends with. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.560 Some fireball in my pocket. Nice. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.839 That's different than being on the mic singing Cardi B. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.719 I mean, it's closed but different. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:44.160 It's fun. It's in the same realm. But I heard 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.120 that this one felt like the first one. Felt like Catharsis. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.440 This one felt like a party. That's how like Les 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.599 Bowen was describing it. Yeah, that people were just really 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.560 like soaking this one in and enjoying it because they 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.520 had already broken through. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:56.119 H huh. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.479 The ashes were poored at the last one of you know, 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.839 people who never got to see a champion and ship that, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.200 and this one was just like an all out party. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.320 It was like a release the first one. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.080 The first one was like, okay, we got there, like 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.440 just just a release and relief at the same time. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.680 And then this one was just like, look at us, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.440 now we're back in it. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.920 Like everyone gets into Super Bowl parades and World Championship parades, 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.240 but there actually is no other city that's like Philadelphia 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.800 and how they do it in terms of getting ready 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.880 the night before and like the amount. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.719 Of people that are there and out there. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.440 They really do go harder, just like they did, you know, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.080 coming to the Super Bowl and kind of dominating the crowd. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.600 That's true. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.200 I will say the liquor stores the night before the 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.440 parade were absolutely insane, and I completely forgot about all 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.760 of the laws surrounding alcohol in Pennsylvania, all right, a 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.680 lot of them, so it's some challenges, dealt with some adversity, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:53.520 But here I am. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.640 It's like a morning thing, isn't it, Like there's one 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.680 where you can So I also saw him a post 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.200 where it was like some people in the in the crowd, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.520 we're throwing up the airplane bottles of liquor to the wags, 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.200 uh huh, and they were downing them and throwing them back. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.880 Like I was like, hell, yeah, that's everything. Yeah, like 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.240 what a rad group of people. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.160 I know you were in the stadium announcing the freaking 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.000 Super Bowl as the in stadium host. We're very proud 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.880 to see that. We mentioned that on the post show. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.880 We have so many so like what was what was 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.960 that like? And what was the the after glow and 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.039 all that stuff. I didn't somehow didn't see you in 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:31.560 all of that. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.720 I know, I feel like I didn't see anyone. I 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.000 don't know what happened. Where did I go? But it 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.640 was It was surreal because last year was the first 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.960 time I did the in stadium during the Super Bowl announcing, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.640 and that was really cool, just a totally different experience 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.120 than I've ever had before. I know, it was Las 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.720 Vegas and it was the final stadium that I needed 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.040 to check off my list to get to all of them. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.039 So that was great, but this time with the Eagles 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.240 in it, it was much more surreal. And also doing 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.760 it with Rende Barber, who Eagles fans absolutely hate, so 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.760 it just added this other layer of kind of fun 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.640 to the whole thing. But I was standing on the 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.280 field during the coin toss, and that's when I normally 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.680 am not someone who can pause in the moment and 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.200 be like, oh, this is cool. I'm like just waiting 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.640 for it to be over to make sure I don't 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.680 mess it up, and then I can enjoy it once 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.880 it's done. But I was standing there during coin toss 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.800 just looking around and thinking to myself. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.800 Holy shit, this is wild. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.520 That is badass, that's cool. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.920 Just think how angry the Chiefs fans there would have 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.400 been if they had known that the lady and doing 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.560 everything is an Eagles fan. 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:40.800 But you kept your profess. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.520 Wearing Yes, yes, we talked about this. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.840 You were wearing red, right, but theory this isn't Maybe 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.120 an ask Connie for later the show, but I have 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.960 this question because so I loved your. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:54.800 Necklace that you were wearing. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.120 Oh thank you so much from far away, it looked 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.960 like a bird with wings outstretched, like I know it wasn't, 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.520 but it looked like.

But I was like, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.000 that balanced it out, the universal balance. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.280 Now that I'm thinking about it, it was wing like 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:16.680 the way that it was shaped. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.240 But no, that was not by design at all. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.680 So total coincidence, everything universe coming up Connie. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:24.320 It was like. 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.320 Finally at the end when we did our final hit 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.560 after they won and like the confetti's going, I was. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.440 Like, okay, can I can I now?

On the field where we were 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.320 right after the game, I was like, I was thinking 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.880 about it as I'm leaving the stadium that night, and 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.200 I was like, oh, well, maybe next time the Eagles 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.640 win the Super Bowl and we're all still employed there. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.160 I'm sure that's gonna happen. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.480 I was just wandering around with a trash bag, feeling 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:05.120 just like for. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.200 A minute or two to come join us, and we 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.920 can have Howie Rose and A.

We were walking so the Superdome had so 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.920 many steps everywhere, and just like so we were going 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.880 up and down these steps in different booths and everything, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.160 and uh, Greg stops all of a sudden, and I'm 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.320 like what white he stop and he got his phone 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.080 out like a proud parent, and he was like filming 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040 you and he and I turn around and I just 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.160 see his face and he's just grinning, like just the 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.240 biggest smile and he's like, look, we know her. Like 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:50.920 you guys, I. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.320 Actually get like this whenever I see my friends on TV, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.040 like when I see you guys, And it's so weird 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.280 because this is our job. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:56.800 We work. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.040 Oh, it is like I've seen you on TV a 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.480 million times for some and other friends. I'm lucky enough 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.959 to see on TV. But for some reason, actually being 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.440 in the stadium of the super Bowl and you're there 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.840 on the that's cooler. That's cooler than all of it. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:16.600 Connie is so cool. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.199 We've built the whole show around ask your opinions. Uh, later, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.520 we're gonna ask Connie. We got We took listener questions 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.240 and got a range of them. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.960 I'll tell you what you're there about questions. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:29.880 They're about football. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.840 But first of all, haill hit a little bit of news, 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.000 not a ton of news dropping right now. I did 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.240 the franchise tag primer last week with our friend Nick Shook. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.520 As our people are listening to this as we're taping this, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.640 the door is open. The teams can officially apply the 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.880 franchise tag. And our first item of news does come 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.360 from that. It's from our towm Pella Sero saying that 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.920 the Bengals are focused on a long term deal for 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.720 t Higgins, but if they cannot reach it by the 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.440 end of the franchise tag period, they are expected to 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.760 place the franchise tag on T Higgins. This would be 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.680 a second straight year, so he gets a twenty percent 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.520 bump off what it was last year. I think he'll 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.680 be around twenty six million. It looks like that's what's 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.640 going to happen because they never get the deals done early. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.280 T Higgins, I guess, is likely staying with the Bengals. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:22.959 I'm still not even sure, but they're going to use the. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.000 Tag them releasing this or leaking it or however it 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.840 came upon our timelines. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.440 It felt like a veiled threat almost. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.720 It's like, hey, if you're not going to make this 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.640 easy or if we can't get this done, oh, we're 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.559 going to tag you for a second consecutive year. When 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.080 it's been extremely clear that Joe Burrow that other members 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.800 of the team want this to get done. And I 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.640 don't know, it seems like a half measure to me. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.280 It doesn't seem like it is a half measure to 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.320 me to not be able to secure that long term 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.760 deal with the player that the franchise quarterback has openly 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.960 been discussing in terms of keeping and sort of pressuring 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.360 the organization publicly in ways we have not seen from 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.320 him before. And so to me, this is playing a 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.520 dangerous game. They did it last year, as we know, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.320 it's playing a dangerous game again this year. Because it's like, okay, like, 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.640 how how happy will you actually be with a half 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.000 measure or like it's that meme of like the giant 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.600 tub of water that's leaking and someone slaps a little 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.640 piece of duct tape on it says fixed. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:27.280 Yeah, this has to be so incredibly frustrating for T 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.480 Higgins as what a twenty six year old, He's going 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.480 to be one of the top skill position free agents 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.559 that would be available if he didn't. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:35.960 Get the tag. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.680 Having the tag back to back years now, he can't 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.000 go out and leverage what could be a bidding war 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.080 and actually get paid here, Like he is one of 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.199 the best number two wide receivers in the league. Maybe 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.520 for some teams he could even be, yeah, a number 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.600 one wide receiver. So I know that this team has 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:57.000 so many issues with their defense and like paying obviously 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.240 to wide receivers wouldn't be wise, so a tag makes. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:01.760 Sense for them. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.960 But it's just I think it's a real bummer because, 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.960 as you said, Joe Burrow is out here, like, look, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.679 we can push money and we can do signing well in. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.880 It, and Joe Burrow put his over the cap on 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.920 earlier and was like talking about how much could be 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.880 restructured or front loaded and different things, and how his 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.360 contract can be opened up in different ways. And I'm like, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.240 oht GM. He is public about this to the point 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.040 where I'm not seen. I guess I wasn't expecting him 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.400 to be this public about the pressure. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:27.200 This pressure. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:32.040 He's like, why are you better do every possible thing 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.679 to get everyone paid or I'm going to be really upset. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.520 He is exerting as much public leverage as he possibly can. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.720 It's interesting about the timing because it was a team 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.880 source that said, you know that they'll tag him by 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.000 the March Worth deadline in order to have time to 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.880 get a deal done. I thought maybe it's a little 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:53.520 bit of like we're just we're not going to Jesse 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.480 bates him, which is just letting him walk on the 0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:00.640 second tag that it also could be a signal to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.480 the rest of the league, like hey, you want to 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.960 trade for him, Like, let's get those offers in because 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:05.960 we can tag and trade him. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.640 Yeah, And that's a whole that's a whole thing. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.199 They could do that and they haven't figured out the 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.240 Jamar Chase situation. Yet, if they could go back in 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:18.199 time and figure out the t Higgins situation before the 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.720 Jamar Chase price went up even higher, you probably would 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.240 want to do that. Now you're stuck between a rock 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.920 and a hard place with two receivers and you might 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.200 have to float, like you said, the idea of tagging 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.760 and trading one and you know that's going to piss 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:30.640 your quarterback off. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.400 Well that there's a report on ESPN that the team 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:37.840 will attempt to secure all three stars who need new 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.920 deals this offseason, Jamar Chase, t Higgins, Trey Hendrickson, which 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.800 is like, yeah, that's that's great. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:45.960 I'm attempting to. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.560 Get like a color analyst job on one of the 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.880 major networks for the NFL games. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.560 Like Live Past the Meteor, put me on it. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:56.680 That would be good too. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.720 Wait, did you guys see t Higgins mom tweeting too? 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:00.120 Oh? 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.280 No, tell us she tweeted last. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.240 Night so well, she tweeted Monday night, selfish bastards and 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.560 that was it. Who However, like in the comments, everyone's like, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.520 is this about the Bengals And she's like, no, it's 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.280 not not at all, Like so she's saying it's something 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920 completely different, but just no context. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:19.520 Selfish bastards. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.320 I think she just finished the first six episodes of 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:23.360 Love Is Blind. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.360 She's definitely watching Traders if you're talking about Bengals. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.800 So, yeah, the Bengals are going to try to get 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:31.720 everything done. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.320 Well, you know what, Greg, as long as they try 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:40.680 their best, that'll definitely make Joe Burrow satisfied with this offseason. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:41.720 I think got them all to have fun. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.440 I think if you were a Bengals fan, though, actually 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.400 you're happy that they're not doing the Jessee Bates thing, 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.480 which is a letty and one way, because yeah, him 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.600 or DeVante Smith are the best number two receiver in 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.960 the league. He's a top twenty receiver in the league overall. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.920 He's my number one overall free agent of this entire class. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.760 And I kind of think, like, you can't really do 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.440 all that. You have to trade either Trey Hendrickson or 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.320 t Higgins. Probably I would probably. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:07.480 Know what you do. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.840 I would probably try to trade Hendrickson, see what you 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.400 can get. But if it's not a lot, you get 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.840 more for t Higgins. It's not that crazy to pay 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.560 Jamar Chase pay Trey Hendrickson and if you can get 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:22.360 like a high second for Tea where you drafted him, I. 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.920 Don't think I don't think you're far off in that 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.760 at all, actually, Greg, because I actually do you Sorry, 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.120 I meant you made a very good point just now. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.520 The they're gonna be able to figure out what like 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.080 basically who loses out on the potential Miles Garrett trade sweepstakes. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.880 Everybody's gonna know the teams that are involved in wanting 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.040 to trade for Miles Garrett and what the capital would be. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.280 And if you're saying Trey Hendrickson could be tradeable, then 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.720 there is a chance that you know, you could figure 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.120 out like who the loser of that potential deal is 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.200 or who's in the mix for it, and then that's 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.760 where you push. There's not really anything like that for 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.040 a receiver right now. So you would be then setting 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.520 whatever the market possibilities would be if it's t Higgins 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.879 as tradable, but you would already know them and be 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.399 able to leverage and lobby whatever that top do. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.199 You just have a lot of time because if you 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.800 tag them, it's just sort of this never end anything. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.440 You could have all the way into the draft to 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.320 get that trade done. One item that popped up last 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.199 week was there was a report, not from a regular 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:24.920 NFL reporter that said the. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.320 Steelers reporter, not like a regular one, had. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.280 Made a call, not like a big Day be writer, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.600 that the Steelers had made a call about Trevor Lawrence. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.359 And since that has happened, the Jaguars came out publicly 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.479 and said that it was ridiculous that that never happened. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.960 Now there's sources on the Steelers side through Pro Football 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.440 Talk and NFL dot Com where they said the Steelers 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.439 never even made that call, but Trevor Lawrence is not 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.760 going anywhere, and that's sort of an off season news 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.119 cycle of things, but that it would be ridiculous for 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.800 them to consider trading Trevor Lawrence. 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:58.840 Trevor Lawrence was funny. 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.600 He was talking about how his agent texted him was like, Hey, 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.400
