Speaker 1: Why Eagles Fly has been replaced by Ride Eagles Ride.
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles had their Super Bowl victory parade today.
Speaker 1: It involved babies. There were a lot of beers being thrown.
Speaker 1: There were some curses at the stands with Cherrelle Parker,
Speaker 1: the mayor of brun I don't know. Come in and
Speaker 1: find out. We'll get to a lot of that. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: we will dig in on free agency, hit the free
Speaker 1: agency focus with our good friend Bridget Condon. I know
Speaker 1: it seems early. The super Bowl just happened yesterday. It's
Speaker 1: not that early. Free agency is coming. We want to
Speaker 1: make sure you are ready. And then is there a
Speaker 1: new number one for our good friend Adam Rank He
Speaker 1: of course breaks down his quarterback rankings the post super Bowl. Addition,
Speaker 1: Patrickhomes struggle a little bit. Is he still number one?
Speaker 1: Way to find out? Welcome inside with the insiders or
Speaker 1: should I say insider?
Speaker 2: It's only wanted me today.
Speaker 1: Everyone else has gone on vacation, which.
Speaker 2: I will be there very soon, but not yet.
Speaker 1: Also joined by my good friend Steve Weisch kind enough
Speaker 1: to hang out with us today.
Speaker 2: Steve, you'll look great. Welcome inside with us. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Let me just kind of hang around and be a
Speaker 3: fringe benefit right now. Ian And by the way, the
Speaker 3: way you describe that Eagles parade, that's exactly how they
Speaker 3: get down in.
Speaker 2: The il adelf I was it was something.
Speaker 1: It was something, So uh, let's get to it, because
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear this was the biggest thing
Speaker 1: happening today. The crowds were insane gentlemen. Andrew Howie Roseman
Speaker 1: got hit in the head with a beer and wore it,
Speaker 1: creating a legendary moment the kind you could really only
Speaker 1: dream of in cad Fake Sae Kwon Barkley went into
Speaker 1: the crowd and grabbed a baby. Post your picture. There
Speaker 1: was a ball boy being hoisted onto shoulders. Anyway, hear
Speaker 1: some of the highlights for some incredibly memorable speeches from
Speaker 1: the Eagles.
Speaker 2: I bleed for.
Speaker 1: This city, Go Eagles.
Speaker 4: I told myself that when I got drafted then I
Speaker 4: wouldn't come to the Rocky Steps until I won a championship.
Speaker 4: And now we're here, our football team.
Speaker 2: Man, we couldn't do it without you, guys. We just
Speaker 2: want to tell you, man, we love you, and we
Speaker 2: support y'all. We thank y'all so much. Man, I got
Speaker 2: about that. I said I was a dealer. I said,
Speaker 2: all I care about the stats. You're gonna get all
Speaker 2: those things wrong about me, but one thing you can
Speaker 2: get right.
Speaker 5: I'm not wrong for speechies, but I know how to sing,
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna need some help. I want to sing
Speaker 5: the songs that everyone here shouldn't. Kind of sounds like this,
Speaker 5: we are check yes, my friend there, we got.
Speaker 6: To come off. We keep on foot here, we are
Speaker 6: check yes, we.
Speaker 2: Ch no.
Speaker 7: Kill us, we.
Speaker 2: Yes, come off Philly.
Speaker 6: Go bads.
Speaker 1: You know that was a cool shot, But Jordan, my
Speaker 1: lone of actually being able to sing makes that hit
Speaker 1: a little different. It was more like, you know, Freddie
Speaker 1: Mercury had live aid vibes as opposed to like just
Speaker 1: some guy out there with a microphone.
Speaker 2: Uh, Steve never heard him on the Christmas album. He
Speaker 2: was the guy on the Christmas album. I love how
Speaker 2: it's the Eagles offers of lineman who take over these raids.
Speaker 2: By the way, Ian dude, the Eagles, did you watch
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: The egos offensive lineman takeover everything, literally everything, and look,
Speaker 1: those guys are going to be back, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would say basically the entire Philadelphia Eagles offensive line
Speaker 1: is going to be back. But they start to get
Speaker 1: to a point now where we wonder, right, because you know,
Speaker 1: the egos have been I would say, except for last year,
Speaker 1: pretty consistently good. Over the last several years, they've built
Speaker 1: a monster. They're tough and they're physical, and they are
Speaker 1: now getting to the point, Steve, where some of the
Speaker 1: guys whose contracts are up and some of the guys
Speaker 1: whose contracts are not yet up, we're gonna want to
Speaker 1: get paid. Like Milan Williams, big time free agent would
Speaker 1: be one. Zach Bond came to Philly and kind of
Speaker 1: approve it deal and proved it in your mind, where
Speaker 1: do the Eagles stand as a team that can replicate
Speaker 1: this next year and kind of give this some staying power.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the main thing you said, Ian is
Speaker 3: the offensive line is staying healthy. The majority of their
Speaker 3: team stayed healthy, especially down the stretch, and we often
Speaker 3: say the Super Bowl victors tend to be the healthiest team.
Speaker 3: So if they keep that offensive line intact, Remember this
Speaker 3: was Cam Jurgen's first year as a full time starter
Speaker 3: at center. He's only going to get better, right, sa
Speaker 3: Kwon Barkley has got that Convoy to block for him.
Speaker 3: We know they've got young receivers and AJ Brown, Devonte Smith.
Speaker 3: They've got younger talent offensively and defensively. Zach Bond resign him.
Speaker 3: He's somebody that Vic Fangio found to be a star.
Speaker 3: The big question is he's not a high volume sack guy.
Speaker 3: He's not necessarily a pass rusher. But he fits into
Speaker 3: what they do defensively, so we'll see what his contract
Speaker 3: numbers would look like in terms of how he fits
Speaker 3: that scheme or others elsewhere. Again, he's not a pass rusher,
Speaker 3: so I don't know how many other teams are going
Speaker 3: to say, well, he's a great player, but he's not
Speaker 3: someone who affects the quarterback. I disagree, because he's very
Speaker 3: good in every other asset. Some of the other players
Speaker 3: we'll see, maybe they got a little age and the
Speaker 3: secondary will slay be back. But remember Nikobe Dean, the
Speaker 3: linebacker who got her. He's coming back. They've got some
Speaker 3: young players they've drafted so well, what's made not make
Speaker 3: you think they're going to draft well again? As long
Speaker 3: as they don't get the big head right. The disease
Speaker 3: of me and they seem to be humble enough. With
Speaker 3: guys like Saquon and Jalen Hurts, they've got a damn
Speaker 3: good shot it being right back where they are right now, you.
Speaker 1: Know, just listening to I mean, if if I'm an
Speaker 1: Egos fan, I beck, well, obviously you should resign everyone.
Speaker 2: The toughest part to all of this. And there's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of reasons that Howie Roseman besides just being resilient
Speaker 1: to take a beer can to the head, a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons he's really good. One of them is to
Speaker 1: know when to be like, all right, we're not re
Speaker 1: signing that guy, but we are signing this Guy's Like
Speaker 1: this is one of the toughest things is you might
Speaker 1: have there's not endless money. You might have to let
Speaker 1: some guys go. And they also, by the way, you're
Speaker 1: going to need to replace Kellen Moore, the new coach
Speaker 1: of the Saints. Where do they go at offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: and ken whoever they hire continue what Nick Sirianni has
Speaker 1: built on offense.
Speaker 2: A lot of big questions for.
Speaker 1: The Eagles, but they get to do so knowing that
Speaker 1: they got that ring, so I think they'll probably be fine.
Speaker 1: What the Eagles did has led people on other teams,
Speaker 1: stars on other teams to say, you know what, why
Speaker 1: can't we do that? It was interesting listening to Micah
Speaker 1: Parsons discuss the talent being there. As he said, this
Speaker 1: is a quote, we just got to be aggressive the
Speaker 1: same way some other teams did. I don't want to
Speaker 1: sit back and watch these other teams building us stay
Speaker 1: the same. Definitely a call to action, which Steve I
Speaker 1: took note of that because Micah Parsons he's not a
Speaker 1: free agent, but he is up for a new deal.
Speaker 1: I talked about with colleague Tom posts Erro on Super
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday game day morning that internally, Cowboys have had
Speaker 1: some discussions about whether to keep Micah, whether or not to.
Speaker 1: He wants them to be aggressive, He wants them to
Speaker 1: spend Last year they spent zero zero. What do the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: in your mind, need to do to kind of get
Speaker 1: where the Eagles and the other consistently really good teams get.
Speaker 2: They've bought them.
Speaker 3: They've boxed themselves in a little bit against the cap
Speaker 3: by playing this better late than never to sign guys
Speaker 3: to extensions where they're paying players at the top end
Speaker 3: of the market as of right now. I believe there
Speaker 3: are roughly three million above the cap. Now there's all
Speaker 3: kinds of ways to maneuver to make space. But they've
Speaker 3: got to figure out a lot of things. One is
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, their start offensive lineman, even coming back, he's
Speaker 3: a free agent, got a bad ankle injury. How do
Speaker 3: you replenish that.
Speaker 2: They've got to figure out something to do with the
Speaker 2: run game.
Speaker 3: And then defensively, it's not just Micah Parsons they've got
Speaker 3: to bring back.
Speaker 2: There's several holes to fill.
Speaker 3: So they've drafted well, yes, but they've got to figure
Speaker 3: out other ways to maneuver with not as much cap
Speaker 3: space as a team like Washington in its division, which
Speaker 3: of course jumps right up to the top to make
Speaker 3: a playoff team behind Philadelphia and the NFC East. So
Speaker 3: it's going to be intriguing just because of their cap constraints.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really do wonder like where they find
Speaker 1: the money from, right, I mean, Zach Martin may retire.
Speaker 2: I think you know, that help a little bit.
Speaker 1: But they have so much high priced talent because they
Speaker 1: drafted so well, it's a problem. And how do they
Speaker 1: manage and how much do they push forward? The Cowboys
Speaker 1: have recently not really been willing to do that. We
Speaker 1: did get a little bit of coaching news today. I
Speaker 1: mentioned Kellen Moore as the new Saints coach. The fallout
Speaker 1: from that, Darren Rizzy, the Saints' interim coach, was officially
Speaker 1: named the special teams coach, also assistant head coach for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. I think once it was clear was
Speaker 1: not getting the Saints' job, that's obviously where he was going.
Speaker 1: That is a big pick up for Sean Payton. The
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars have been in the market for a general
Speaker 1: managersince firing Trent Palky.
Speaker 2: Have done a slew of interviews.
Speaker 1: John Eric Sullivan, executive from the Packers, was one in
Speaker 1: Cunningham with the kind of senior yearbook style picture. Was
Speaker 1: another from the Bears. Chad Alexander second GM interview. Another
Speaker 1: rising talent, he's from the Chargers. John Robinson, former Titans
Speaker 1: general manager. He got a look as well, some big
Speaker 1: time talent that I know the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking
Speaker 1: at general manager wise. I bring all this up to
Speaker 1: note that over the last couple of days there was
Speaker 1: kind of a rumor slash report going around about the
Speaker 1: teams were calling the Jaguars about Trevor Lawrence. Now it's
Speaker 1: not true, as Tom Pelserro mentioned, I don't believe the
Speaker 1: Jaguars are trading Trevor Lawrence at all. But did make
Speaker 1: me think Steve about this quarterback trade market. If Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is staying in Jacksonville, certainly that's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons Liam Cohen took that job. You have uncertainty elsewhere.
Speaker 1: You have Matthew Stafford, who I believe wants to go
Speaker 1: back to the Rams. The Rams want him back, they
Speaker 1: have not yet agreed on a contract, which means other
Speaker 1: teams might be interested in him.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: You have Derek Carr, the Saints starter, who Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: was not exactly definitive with yesterday as far as like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we definitely wanted back, we want it back.
Speaker 2: He may be gone.
Speaker 1: How does this quarterback market shape up? And in your mind, like,
Speaker 1: who's who's kind of the big ticket guy here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's not forget Kirk Coussins too.
Speaker 3: He could be on the move too from Atlanta since
Speaker 3: he's been relegated to the bench.
Speaker 2: But Matthew Stafford is a big ticket guy. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's not forget.
Speaker 3: No team played better against the Eagles all postseason than
Speaker 3: the Rams. The Rams had them, except they had some
Speaker 3: turnovers late in the game. So Matthew Stafford, the Rams
Speaker 3: have got to figure out what they want to do
Speaker 3: contractually with him, Like you said, Without Matthew Stafford, where
Speaker 3: do they go next?
Speaker 2: There's no Plan B.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of where a lot of these teams sit,
Speaker 3: which is why Matthew Stafford could potentially have a market.
Speaker 3: It depends on what his financial demands are. If they're
Speaker 3: too high for the Rams, they will let him go,
Speaker 3: or they will make a move and trade him away
Speaker 3: to where we'll see.
Speaker 2: But I think they should figure out something right there.
Speaker 3: In terms of Derek carr Ian, you know he's got
Speaker 3: that no trade clause, So we'll see. We'll see exactly
Speaker 3: what happens with New Orleans because Kellen Moore said a
Speaker 3: lot of positive things about him, like.
Speaker 2: You said, though also noncommittal.
Speaker 1: Right, we love him, He's done great things.
Speaker 2: As far as you definitively keeping them. We'll see.
Speaker 1: Both sides gonna have a say in this one. More
Speaker 1: on that coming in the next couple of weeks. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins did some salary cap cuts today where he mostered
Speaker 1: Fantasy Star the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Officially released.
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller, veteran cornerback, also officially reached You're going to
Speaker 1: see each team do their version of this over the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks as they try to get under
Speaker 1: the cap, just like the Pittsburgh Steelers did. Remember Preston Smith,
Speaker 1: big time trade acquisition for them, former sack master from
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, traded from.
Speaker 2: At the deadline.
Speaker 1: Thought would come in and have a big impact, was
Speaker 1: what it was.
Speaker 2: He now has been released. We're coming for Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know who we're coming for.
Speaker 8: Jenna Hurst, bossmun Now zero zero, that's that's you.
Speaker 2: That's you, that's you. All of us, man, I know
Speaker 2: it's all of us. But you don't understand the difference
Speaker 2: you made. You know you right down. But you like
Speaker 2: that last piece.
Speaker 5: Man, it's over now.
Speaker 7: I'm told no, not weekend not.
Speaker 1: We do that every time Super Bowl MVP, super.
Speaker 4: Bowl twnis right.
Speaker 2: Hold on, that just happened, man.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, mass probably don't get way do it?
Speaker 7: Go join you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I miss that. I've seen that a
Speaker 1: couple of times. I missed that until just now where
Speaker 1: they say the PR staff says Jalen super Bowl MVP,
Speaker 1: and he goes Super Bowl Champ clarifies.
Speaker 2: Kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Steve Weiss joining me once again, Adam Rank welcome inside
Speaker 1: with the insiders. So you have your past Super Bowl
Speaker 1: QB rankings. Now, this is available in NFL dot com,
Speaker 1: but don't read it yet because I want you to
Speaker 1: unbuil all of it for us.
Speaker 2: Start with number five. Yeah, this was a really interesting
Speaker 2: conversation because a lot of people are asking based on
Speaker 2: what Jalen Hurts was able to do, and I want
Speaker 2: to let it ready, if your guy is number five
Speaker 2: or number four, I'm not hating on him. These are
Speaker 2: five amazing people. Okay, five great quarterbacks. You should be
Speaker 2: happy to have them. Unfortunately, somebody's got to be number five,
Speaker 2: and it's weird to say that. It's Lamar Jackson, but
Speaker 2: that's who I went with. I know he's a multi
Speaker 2: time MVP, he's a much better passer then people give
Speaker 2: him credit for it. I truly do believe he is
Speaker 2: one of the best in the game. But for this exercise,
Speaker 2: when you got it, I know a lot of people
Speaker 2: will hesitate and be like well, wins are not a
Speaker 2: quarterback stat. They sort of are, and unless you're Eli
Speaker 2: Manning going for the Hall of Fame, But for most people,
Speaker 2: quarterback stats are wins and it's one of those things.
Speaker 2: I have Lamar at number five, even though he's coming
Speaker 2: off a truly incredible season. Well, well, Adam, I like
Speaker 2: how you we preface. This is your postseason rankings, and
Speaker 2: this is a regular season. He'd probably be at the
Speaker 2: top of the food chain, in the top two, but
Speaker 2: his team did not get there. So no argument here.
Speaker 1: Anyone who says wins or not a QB stat just
Speaker 1: doesn't really know what you're talking about, right, good stuff
Speaker 1: on number five.
Speaker 2: Give me a number four. Oh, this is another tough one.
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, who was the regular season MVP, who went
Speaker 2: out there and again we didn't think he could do
Speaker 2: much better, but he's done. During the course of his
Speaker 2: career Head they got rid of Stefon Diggs and he
Speaker 2: was still able to go out there and be the
Speaker 2: regular season MVP. And I love him. I think he's great.
Speaker 2: He's tremendous. However, when you get in these playoff situations,
Speaker 2: at some point you're going to have to knock off
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. I know it's not fair, but
Speaker 2: it is going to be one of those things that's
Speaker 2: going to hang over him. And it happens to a
Speaker 2: lot of great quarterbacks. I think back to Steve Young
Speaker 2: during his time in the nineties where he had to
Speaker 2: go out and beat the Dallas Cowboys before he was
Speaker 2: truly embraced, especially by forty nine Ers fans. So I
Speaker 2: think for Josh Allen it could happen. At some point.
Speaker 2: It still needs to happen. It's not fair, but it's
Speaker 2: also the reality of football. If you want to be
Speaker 2: in that conversation, you got.
Speaker 1: To beat the big dog, and they have come agonizing
Speaker 1: and close, but not yet.
Speaker 2: Give me number three. I know, well, this is going
Speaker 2: to be unusual because this is a postseason ranking, but
Speaker 2: I've got to throw Joe Burrow in here and I'll
Speaker 2: tell you why. Now, obviously they did. The Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 2: did not make the playoffs. However, it seemed a little
Speaker 2: bit like the Kansas City Chiefs, like Kevin Nash against
Speaker 2: hul Cogan back in the nineteen nineties, took the finger
Speaker 2: pulk of doom, so the Bengals couldn't reach the postseason.
Speaker 2: Because the one thing that I love about Joe Burrow,
Speaker 2: and you see the numbers right there, over forty touchdown passes,
Speaker 2: less than ten interceptions. The one guy in the AFC
Speaker 2: who has been able to stand up to Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 2: look him in the eye and beat him the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: And I think that if the Bengals had made the playoffs,
Speaker 2: that was my pick to go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately they didn't make it. But I still think
Speaker 2: that Joe Burrow third best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Right now, Oh, you said this is postseason. They didn't
Speaker 3: make it to the postseason. My good friend, I think
Speaker 3: that's a stopper right here. Oh, wins matter, it matter.
Speaker 3: He didn't have enough of them. That's why he's not
Speaker 3: number one. Hext the discount.
Speaker 1: We're not there yet. Hold on, we're not there yet.
Speaker 1: We still got number two to go.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: By the way, I also am of the line of
Speaker 1: thinking that had burrowin, the Bengals got in would have
Speaker 1: done some serious damage.
Speaker 2: One of the big what ifs of this season. Give
Speaker 2: us number two. Well, this one is very difficult because
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go through complete recency bias. So
Speaker 2: I still have Jalen Hurts at number two, and I
Speaker 2: think that this has been a long time coming for him.
Speaker 2: I think that for a lot of people, even coming
Speaker 2: into this season, he was not getting the respect that
Speaker 2: he deserves as an NFL quarterback. I thought this way
Speaker 2: of him coming out of Oklahoma. I was shocked that
Speaker 2: he was a second round draft pick. The Eagles were
Speaker 2: able to go out there and get him in the
Speaker 2: second round, similar to the San Diego Chargers years ago
Speaker 2: being able to steal Drew Brees away. But Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: is actually, if you want to get down to it,
Speaker 2: he's actually Outplayedatrick Mahomes in the last two Super Bowls,
Speaker 2: and you can make a definitive case for him being
Speaker 2: the number one guy. The rushing touchdowns and everything about
Speaker 2: him is magnificent. But at this moment, right now, I'm
Speaker 2: still factoring in a couple of seasons here. I know
Speaker 2: it's a postseason ranking. He's my number two guy. He's
Speaker 2: my number two guy.
Speaker 1: Well, just the fact that we're having this conversation of
Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts one or two means that he really
Speaker 1: has solidified himself as one of the stars of this league.
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm not that that smart, right, but
Speaker 1: I've gone through the list and there's only one elite
Speaker 1: quarterback that we have not gotten to.
Speaker 2: So number one is there's got to be Matthew Stafford. No,
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, h No, it's obviously it's Patrick Mahomes. That
Speaker 2: was No. This is the thing, And like again, I
Speaker 2: don't want everybody to overreact by what happened in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. He yes, they did not look good, but
Speaker 2: still when you look at some of the other quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning got blown out in two of his Super
Speaker 2: Bowls and nobody ever holds out against him. I think
Speaker 2: for Patrick Mahomes, he's won two out of the last three,
Speaker 2: I think we can give him a little bit of grace.
Speaker 2: I think what we do pull back on is the
Speaker 2: greatest of all time conversation. Tom Brady is still firmly
Speaker 2: the leader in that category. You might even want to
Speaker 2: throw Joe Montana back into that mix as well. But
Speaker 2: the current quarterbacks right now, even after what happened in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, he's been to three three consecutive Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: I think that were I think that brings in a
Speaker 2: lot of credence. Patrick Mahomes is still gonna be the
Speaker 2: number one guy, but it's getting closer with Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 3: I actually kind of like this because you are adding
Speaker 3: the wins and your little aggregate career some things in
Speaker 3: the criteria that you have here. What is interesting is
Speaker 3: in this top five only one NFC quarterback. That's what
Speaker 3: I found about this, so really intriguing stuff there Adam again,
Speaker 3: but Joe Shisty, who's my favorite guy at number three.
Speaker 2: It's so see, I had to go over multiple seats.
Speaker 2: I did include multiple seasons. I did with it a
Speaker 2: little bit, and again like Ian and I like Ian
Speaker 2: was saying, like, if you factor in the possibility of
Speaker 2: the Bengals being in the playoffs, I truly believe they
Speaker 2: would have. I truly believe they would have won the AFC.
Speaker 1: We'll never know. I would like to know, but we'll
Speaker 1: never know. Rank the idea of ranking all time great
Speaker 1: playoff quarterbacks actually google them. Maybe we'll have you on
Speaker 1: later in the offseason for that. For now, thank you
Speaker 1: very much.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. You of course, are going to join
Speaker 2: us a.
Speaker 1: Little later in the show, I said earlier. Your Chivy
Speaker 1: rankings are on NFL dot com.
Speaker 2: That's not true.
Speaker 1: They're just here on television, Nick Shook. However, our other
Speaker 1: good buddy does have his rankings on NFL dot com
Speaker 1: slash QB Index if you want a little more of that. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you see t Higgins spiking the ball, catching touchdowns, one
Speaker 1: of the NFL's top free agents.
Speaker 2: Over the course in the next couple weeks.
Speaker 1: Where does he end up? Where does he stack up?
Speaker 1: So much more coming up on free agency on the Insiders.
Speaker 1: Get more of the NFL with NFL Plus. Follow the
Speaker 1: journey of future NFL stars, and stay connected throughout the
Speaker 1: offseason with coverage of the NFL scouting combine, NFL Draft,

Speaker 1: dot NFL dot com. Terms end conditions apply. I have Plus.
Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan. You definitely should get it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure all these guys have it. By the way,
Speaker 1: we are so so close to NFL free agency, another
Speaker 1: star studded free agency. We've got Sam Darnold, got Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson once again, Aaron Rodgers enter the fray after the
Speaker 1: Jets released him. We got star running back Nick Chubb.
Speaker 1: Of course, T Higgins one of the top guys. Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs still right there, let's get into it. Bridget Condom
Speaker 1: joins the party along with my good friend Steve Weisch.
Speaker 1: So Bridget, I will start with you. We mentioned T
Speaker 1: Higgins coming into this thing. I think it's no doubt
Speaker 1: that he is one of the top free agents and
Speaker 1: most intriguing free agents. Where how does it all stack
Speaker 1: up for T Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 9: Well, look, we've heard T Higgins, Jamar Chase, the entire
Speaker 9: Bengals core continue to say they'll do whatever it takes
Speaker 9: to get that core back. I remember being at that
Speaker 9: last game that the Bengals played against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 9: in Pittsburgh, and I asked Joe Burrow, what does it
Speaker 9: feel like knowing you could have just played your last
Speaker 9: game as a trio? And he said, you don't want
Speaker 9: to make your career out of watching good players leave
Speaker 9: the building. And he said he will do what it takes,
Speaker 9: and whether that means restructuring his contract, Steve or what
Speaker 9: they want to keep this together. And he alluded to
Speaker 9: the fact that it was he, T and Jamar that
Speaker 9: really changed the Cincinnati Bengals. Remember that Super Bowl run
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty one. And the interesting thing though, is
Speaker 9: how they get this done Because you have Jamar Chase's contracts,
Speaker 9: you have Trey Henderson who's going to be wanting an extension,
Speaker 9: and any other team. T Higgins is a wide receiver
Speaker 9: number one. You know, he might be number two behind
Speaker 9: Jamar Chase technically on this Bengals roster, but he almost
Speaker 9: has one thousand yards ten touchdowns this season.
Speaker 7: He is a threat on the field. So how do
Speaker 7: they make it work?
Speaker 9: But one thing that's interesting, Joe Burrow and Michael Parsons
Speaker 9: from the Cowboys said that this week they kind of
Speaker 9: looked at the Eagles and how they managed to pay
Speaker 9: all their top guys and it worked. So how can
Speaker 9: maybe players influence in front office work itself out and look.
Speaker 7: To say, hey, they did it. They want a championship.
Speaker 3: One thing with the Eagles that they've done for years,
Speaker 3: even back when Joe Bannon was GM, is they extend
Speaker 3: guys after their second or third year, so they get
Speaker 3: them early in the process. The Bengals are not there.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is making a top shelf contract. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: may want a restructure, but Jamar Chase, he still want
Speaker 3: to be paid one dollar more than Justin Jefferson. That's
Speaker 3: in the thirty five million average average per year range.
Speaker 3: To do that with T Higgins and put that much
Speaker 3: money into one position when their defense needs that much help,
Speaker 3: it's going to be very difficult, no matter how much
Speaker 3: they want to for Cincinnati to keep both those wide receivers,
Speaker 3: especially when I could see team like New England throwing
Speaker 3: money at T Higgins at just unmatchable.
Speaker 1: If he gets free. By the way, still good franchise.
Speaker 1: Tag T Higgins a second time our bridget. Let's stay
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. One of the biggest trades
Speaker 1: this year during the right around the time of the
Speaker 1: trade deadline, Amari Cooper going to the Bills left his
Speaker 1: contract untouched, so he is now a free agent.
Speaker 2: Where does it stand for him?
Speaker 9: An interesting trade, Ian, and I know you talked about
Speaker 9: it a lot. When Amari Cooper went to the Bills.
Speaker 9: It kind of felt like that was the missing piece,
Speaker 9: right and they were going to become this incredible team
Speaker 9: with Amari Cooper. He had that first game and really
Speaker 9: showed off, but since then he didn't really do much
Speaker 9: for the Bills. He wasn't a big threat in the postseason.
Speaker 9: Of course, it came out that he was dealing with
Speaker 9: a wrist injury. He had just twenty catches, less than
Speaker 9: three hundred yards two touchdowns for the Bills during his time.
Speaker 9: Of course, when you get traded mid season, you're dealing
Speaker 9: with a playbook, a new playbook. So maybe a whole
Speaker 9: offseason with this Bill's playbook, we'll see a different Amari Cooper.
Speaker 9: Remember he's just a year removed from a thousand yard season.
Speaker 9: So it's about do the Bills feel like they can
Speaker 9: get that Amari Cooper that we saw with the Browns
Speaker 9: years ago, or do they feel like maybe it's time
Speaker 9: to move on. I mean, they still have other guys
Speaker 9: and they were able to make a deep playoff run
Speaker 9: with some of those other guys, So do they feel
Speaker 9: like they need him.
Speaker 7: We'll find out here shortly.
Speaker 2: I think that part is a swing vote.
Speaker 3: They made a deep playoff run without him putting up
Speaker 3: big numbers, and.
Speaker 2: Look, it all depends.
Speaker 3: They might say, go test the market and if nobody
Speaker 3: really comes with that big offer, let's not remember, let's
Speaker 3: not forget he turns thirty one in June. So if
Speaker 3: nobody comes with that crazy money, then maybe they can
Speaker 3: bring them back at an affordable rate. But if it's
Speaker 3: an affordable rate, does he really want to be there
Speaker 3: or does he want to go to a different team,
Speaker 3: possibly a team like the Rams who could be moving
Speaker 3: on from Cooper Coupp.
Speaker 1: Speaking of older dudes who are still really awesome, Khalil
Speaker 1: Knack is wants to play. There's some doubts at the
Speaker 1: end of the season. Still wants to play. Multi year
Speaker 1: Pro bowl Er. Where does it How does it stack
Speaker 1: up for Khalil Mack?
Speaker 2: Where's he going with it?
Speaker 7: This is interesting.
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack one of my favorite players, such a great
Speaker 9: guy on and off the field. He has a long
Speaker 9: resume of accomplishments, Defensive Player of the Year, four time
Speaker 9: First Team All Pro, nine Pro Bowls. The one thing
Speaker 9: he doesn't have Ian and Steve is a Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: And I know that when guys are playing late and
Speaker 9: a player like him that is a household name, they
Speaker 9: want to add that to the resume. Remember Aaron Donald
Speaker 9: before he retired, that was the one thing that he wanted.
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack's same thing. He wants to get that Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: So it's going to be really interesting. Does he believe
Speaker 9: and do the Chargers find a way of course with
Speaker 9: Joey Bosa, I don't see a way where they keep
Speaker 9: Khalil Mack and both Joey Bosa. But do they have
Speaker 9: conversations and Khalil believes, you know, the Chargers could be
Speaker 9: there a team competing for the Super Bowl. Or is
Speaker 9: he going to say, you know, I'm talking to these
Speaker 9: other teams. They're offering me money and they're knocking on
Speaker 9: the door of a Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: But I don't imagine.
Speaker 9: He's going to a team with a rebuild. He's going
Speaker 9: to go to a team where he thinks he can
Speaker 9: win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: If he wants to win a Super Bowl, it's either
Speaker 3: the Chargers or he looks at a team like the Ravens. Right,
Speaker 3: they play a very similar scheme, something that he's thrived in.
Speaker 3: So we'll see. If it's not about the money, it's
Speaker 3: about the ring. He's going to create a lot of
Speaker 3: options for himself.
Speaker 7: And defense wins championships.
Speaker 9: We heard Jalen Hurt say it today, So he might
Speaker 9: be a name even though he's older Ian where a
Speaker 9: lot of people might throw some money at him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's probably going to do fine.
Speaker 1: Maybe that finisher that we've seen in fregency, like really
Speaker 1: good veteran dudes sometimes can be one more guy. I'll
Speaker 1: get to Sam Donald, obviously, one of the biggest names
Speaker 1: in free agency, someone who we're going to be talking
Speaker 1: about here for the next month or so. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is someone who I know the Vikings have
Speaker 1: interest in keeping. It's just really a matter of price,
Speaker 1: and the question is can they keep this championship level
Speaker 1: team around him and still pays Sam Darnold what he deserves.
Speaker 1: That's obviously the big question for the Vikings this year
Speaker 1: is a big question for the Vikings last year. We
Speaker 1: will see over the course of the next couple weeks
Speaker 1: where this all ends up. Meanwhile, for the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: their free agency last year, guys, was something that took
Speaker 1: them from a team that was a little bit in
Speaker 1: distress just being honest, to a team that just celebrated
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Saquon Barkley massive signing, massive impact, Zach Bond,
Speaker 1: really under the radar signing, massive impact.
Speaker 2: CJ.
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, massive impact. Bryce Huff I would say, you know,
Speaker 1: probably not as much but still made a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So for the Philadelphia Eagles, they hoped to replicate that
Speaker 1: again to get here, which is at the parade where
Speaker 1: we saw Saquon Barkley. I believe that is a ball boy,
Speaker 1: a ball boy that he saw in the crowd that
Speaker 1: he grabbed and said, you know what, you should be
Speaker 1: joining us.
Speaker 2: Saquan is the best.
Speaker 1: Let's hear from him, Philly.
Speaker 8: I want to say thank you so much for the
Speaker 8: love and support that you guys showed to me and
Speaker 8: my family, especially being the newcomers here. I want to
Speaker 8: thank mister Loriie. I want to thank Howie, the whole
Speaker 8: Eagles organization. My teammates want to thank you guys, especially
Speaker 8: for us being world champs. One thing that I've learned
Speaker 8: from being here for a short period of time is
Speaker 8: that you guys are tough. O.
Speaker 1: Good friend Bucky Brooks joining us. So let's get into
Speaker 1: the next Bucky, right, I mean, Eagles did it this year?
Speaker 2: Who is going to have next?
Speaker 1: Take me through the teams with the biggest and widest
Speaker 1: Super Bowl windows?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when you're looking at teams that have
Speaker 4: a wide window, I think it's important to look at
Speaker 4: not only the talent today, if here with a young
Speaker 4: talent that's in the pipeline. That's why the philography Eagles
Speaker 4: could be poised to make a long and extended run
Speaker 4: out side of contenders. When you look at what they've
Speaker 4: done and how they structure the contracts with Jalen Hurst
Speaker 4: and aj Brown and DeVante Smith. You have Saquon Barkley
Speaker 4: in the backfield, but really on defense, all those young
Speaker 4: dominant people on the front line, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith,
Speaker 4: Jordan Davis.
Speaker 2: You have Nakobe Dean who's gonna come back off an injury.
Speaker 4: The two young corners Quinn Mitchell, Quinnyon Mitchell and Cooper
Speaker 4: dejan This is a team that is loaded.
Speaker 2: They're going to continue to be loaded because the philadelph
Speaker 2: Eagles do a great job of drafting Biggs early.
Speaker 4: This is a team that we should see in the
Speaker 4: Final four for the next few years. The Detroit Lions
Speaker 4: are another team that can also enjoy an extended run.
Speaker 4: The job that Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have done
Speaker 4: assembling a blue chip roster with marquee names and marquis positions.
Speaker 4: Jered Golf, Jamia Gibbs, David Montgomery, Amana Saint Brown, Jamison
Speaker 4: William Sam Laporter, that talented offensive line, Aiden Hutchinson, and
Speaker 4: some of the other young defensive stars like Allen McNeil.
Speaker 7: This is a team that also has the talented and.
Speaker 2: When you think about it, remember they had like.
Speaker 4: Sixteen guys on ir but still finished with the best
Speaker 4: record in the NFC. It's a dominant team and a
Speaker 4: team that should continue to be dominant despite the coaching changes.
Speaker 4: And then the last team that I'll talk about, which
Speaker 4: is kind of like one of those launch shot teams
Speaker 4: to be there. But how about the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 4: and the reason why the Green Bay packs are there?
Speaker 4: This is the youngest team in the league. They've had
Speaker 4: a lot of success the last couple of years since
Speaker 4: Jordan Loved been taken over.
Speaker 2: He will continue to.
Speaker 4: Climb the ranks as an elite quarterback, but he's surrounded
Speaker 4: by really good players. Now Josh Jacobs's own record, seeing
Speaker 4: they need a number one receiver, maybe that is true,
Speaker 4: but I know on defense, Jeff Afflee has his way
Speaker 4: with seven former first round picks in that lineup, they
Speaker 4: got some other guys in the hopper waiting to happen.
Speaker 4: The Green Bay Packers are a team that believe in
Speaker 4: a home grown philosophy. That philosophy has played out really
Speaker 4: well for them and it's one of the reasons why
Speaker 4: they have an extended run as a Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, young studied quarterback probably does not hurt them.
Speaker 2: They have done an incredible job in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Slash Scouts notebook, Bucky, thank you very
Speaker 1: much for joining us as always. Meanwhile, today is Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: Maybe you did know that it's a little known fact.
Speaker 1: Today is Valentine's Day. So let's play matchmaker just a
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's try to figure out where Shador, Sanders
Speaker 1: and cam Ward not only where they land, but where
Speaker 1: would be the best landing spot for them. Will put
Speaker 1: a prospect together with a team coming up next on
Speaker 1: The Insiders, the NFL Scouting Combine presented by Microsoft Copilot
Speaker 1: is just a.
Speaker 2: Few weeks away.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait see all the action from the forty
Speaker 1: yard line, from the forty yard dash, the field drills,
Speaker 1: and much more. February twenty seventh through March second, on
Speaker 1: NFL Network and on NFL Plus. I will be there
Speaker 1: the entire time come hang out with us. One of
Speaker 1: the best weeks of the entire football calendar. Let's go
Speaker 1: inside with Fantasy Live. Adam Rank joining us once again.
Speaker 2: So a lot of.
Speaker 1: People don't know this. Today is Valentine's Day. Okay, So
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're going to play matchmakers.
Speaker 1: So here's the game. I will give you the prospect
Speaker 1: and you tell me what team he's definitely going with. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we'll start with Miami quarterback cam Ward.
Speaker 2: Camp Ward, though, should go to the Tennessee Titans. We're
Speaker 2: looking for him to get an opportunity to go to
Speaker 2: a place where he's going to start from day one
Speaker 2: and be able to build. And I think that you know,
Speaker 2: last season when you watch the Titans, I really sort
Speaker 2: of liked their offense. They ran them ball pretty well.
Speaker 2: They've got some big names at wide receiver, and it
Speaker 2: really was if the quarterback play would have been a
Speaker 2: little bit better. We were trying to make Will Levis
Speaker 2: a thing and it just wasn't going to happen. Cam
Speaker 2: Ward could go in there and be the kind of guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to be Jade and Daniels,
Speaker 2: but similar to like c J. Stroud two years ago.
Speaker 2: I think you're going to have that kind of impact.
Speaker 1: I don't know what this guy has, but take me
Speaker 1: through Travis Hunter and where his best landing spot is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really a discussion of where he's going to
Speaker 2: be playing in the NFL. Is he gonna play both ways?
Speaker 2: He's just gonna play wide receiver. As a fantasy enthusiast,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say wide receiver. I kind of want him
Speaker 2: to go to the New York Giants. You know. It's
Speaker 2: one of those things too where you're like, you look
Speaker 2: at what happened last season with Malik Neighbors. I feel
Speaker 2: like if you could get Travis Hunter to play wide
Speaker 2: receiver for the New York Giants, this could be a
Speaker 2: similar type situation like they have in Cincinnati with Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase and T Higgins for so long, those two guys
Speaker 2: complimenting each other, and regardless of who the quarterback is,
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the kind of guy who
Speaker 2: can excel. Whether it's Matthew Stafford on a trade, which
Speaker 2: I don't think is likely, maybe it's Sam Darnold, who knows,
Speaker 2: but I would love to see the Giants make a
Speaker 2: run and put in Travis Hunter opposite of Malik Neighbors.
Speaker 2: Now we got one more for your rank.
Speaker 1: This is one of the most fun prospects of the
Speaker 1: entire draft. Ashton Genty in a year where the running
Speaker 1: back is having a re emergence.
Speaker 2: Where's he going? You know, I'm going to say the
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders Just so number one, so all the
Speaker 2: Bears fans will stop talking about drafting them, because like
Speaker 2: the Bear's need offensive lineup, they don't need a running
Speaker 2: back right now. But I was thinking about this, Ashton
Speaker 2: Genty makes a lot of sense for the Dallas Cowboys. However,
Speaker 2: when I'm thinking about Pete Carroll coaching the Las Vegas Raiders,
Speaker 2: and I think about the longevity of Pete Carroll's career,
Speaker 2: going back to his time at USC when you had
Speaker 2: Reggie Bush and Lendale White and Silas Red, or you
Speaker 2: go to Seattle and he's got Marshawn Lynch and even
Speaker 2: Kenny Walker j the third over the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: I really do believe the Raiders want to run the football.
Speaker 2: And if they go out there and they drop in
Speaker 2: Ashton Genty in this often similar situation of the New
Speaker 2: York Giants. We don't quite know who the quarterback is,
Speaker 2: but I think Genti could be good when you pay
Speaker 2: them there. I got Brock Boers from last season. This
Speaker 2: can end up being a nice little offense. If they
Speaker 2: add gent.
Speaker 1: It's no longer that crazy to take a running back
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen or top ten. They're coming back rank,
Speaker 1: They're coming back all right. Next week, the patch of
Speaker 1: the draft continues with two events designed to help HBCU
Speaker 1: athletes get their shot at the NFL. Monday, it's the
Speaker 1: HBCU Combine with coverage here on The Insiders at seven
Speaker 1: pm Eastern. Then next Saturday, it's the All State HBCU
Speaker 1: Legacy Bowl, as two teams are draft eligible players square
Speaker 1: off in front of NFL scouts live at four pm
Speaker 1: Eastern on NFL Network. Steve Weis will be there covering
Speaker 1: the two events in New Orleans. Next week, Steve break
Speaker 1: it down for us who we watching.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, first off, Ian, this is a great
Speaker 3: showcase for players from HBCUs.
Speaker 2: The majority which we do not get invited to the
Speaker 2: regular draft Combine.
Speaker 3: A player like Brandon Codrington, the part returner for the Bills,
Speaker 3: played in this game last year, but We're going to
Speaker 3: the running backs this year, and we are starting with
Speaker 3: Virginia Union's Jada Buyers Now Buyers. He led Virginia Union
Speaker 3: to the CIAA Championship. He rushed for two and twenty
Speaker 3: seven yards on the season. This is one of the
Speaker 3: most prolific rushers ever in black college football, and that's
Speaker 3: saying a lot. Remember Walter Payton played at Jackson State.
Speaker 3: This is also somebody we're going to be looking out for.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight catches last year, and I'm sure the NFL
Speaker 3: scouts in attendance all thirty two teams will be represented.
Speaker 2: We were looking at his return skills also.
Speaker 3: Because as you can see from this video, he's only
Speaker 3: five to seven about one hundred and ninety pounds. He's
Speaker 3: incredibly strong. He's a breakaway threat. Again, another player to
Speaker 3: focus on. Let's go to the Division one A, the
Speaker 3: FCS level, Jackson State, the SWACK Championship running back erv Bulligan.
Speaker 2: The SWACK Offensive Player of the year.
Speaker 3: This is a prototype big time running back, five to ten,
Speaker 3: about two hundred and ten pounds, a home run hitter,
Speaker 3: only had one fund this entire season. Also, but again,
Speaker 3: twelve hundred and thirty nine yard thirteen touchdowns, he averages
Speaker 3: more than six yards a rush ian, So a lot
Speaker 3: of explosive talent gonna be showcased all next week down
Speaker 3: New Orleans. We have reports for you on the insiders
Speaker 3: here all next week. But those are two of the
Speaker 3: featured players who are going to be looking.
Speaker 1: At cannot wait to see it and hear it and
Speaker 1: learn about it. Steve, thank you very much as I
Speaker 1: always look forward to your dispatches from New Orleans.
Speaker 2: But don't go anywhere. You got one more block next.
Speaker 1: You know why the Eagles' Super Bowl victory parade is
Speaker 1: just a gift that keeps on given. I feel like
Speaker 1: we're going to see these highlights all around Philadelphia for
Speaker 1: I don't know the entire offseason, right, I mean star
Speaker 1: stud an event, millions of people. We had Shenanigans, We
Speaker 1: had kids being brought out. We had beer being thrown
Speaker 1: at the Jet general manager right there. That is how
Speaker 1: we rose him, by the way, taking a beer off
Speaker 1: the noggin and then delivering an iconic line about how
Speaker 1: he bleeds for the city, how we crushes it. Of course,
Speaker 1: we also heard from another legendary member of the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and what is perhaps his last time as
Speaker 1: a member of the Eagles.
Speaker 2: They we worked too hard.
Speaker 10: We ain't had no victory Mondays, so we took it
Speaker 10: all out in the end, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: And we thankful for coach, because sometimes you have to
Speaker 10: have that tough love in order to get with you
Speaker 10: where you're trying to go. And I'm telling you it's
Speaker 10: about us being gritty. We gonna stay gritty, We're gonna
Speaker 10: stay working. I'm always be a part of Philly no
Speaker 10: matter what. You know what I'm saying, And I'm so
Speaker 10: thankful to have been here. And I'm just I love y'all.
Speaker 1: I love how they brought both Lombardies. They also brought
Speaker 1: children not into the parade except Saquon did.
Speaker 2: That's a three year old whose birthday.
Speaker 1: It is twenty seconds of love in Saquon's arms. I
Speaker 1: would imagine that three ye old will probably cherish those
Speaker 1: photos and that moment forever.
Speaker 2: Cooper Dejan had his moments.
Speaker 1: He also had this selfie. He's got a bend his
Speaker 1: hat a little bit. And are kids wearing their hats
Speaker 1: like that? No one told me. I never got the
Speaker 1: memo on that I still bend my brim like a
Speaker 1: regular person. Anyway, Cooper Degene with a big moment. Fans
Speaker 1: loved him, could not get enough of him, so much
Speaker 1: so that they thought read blanket ship was Cooper Dejene.
Speaker 1: So had to literally tell fans, I'm actually not him,
Speaker 1: I'm the other guy.
Speaker 2: That's that guy. I'm this guy. Anyway.
Speaker 1: It was like, it's tough for crowds. And I understand, Steve.
Speaker 1: They were all drunk, so you could say literally anything,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, man, I've been drinking
Speaker 1: bud lights for six hours waiting here, all right, So
Speaker 1: all of those highlights brings me to what I really
Speaker 1: want to bring you back in to talk about. And
Speaker 1: I watched the parade, and I watched all the different characters, right,
Speaker 1: and so what I'm wondering is like, what would your
Speaker 1: role in a parade be? Would you be like running
Speaker 1: on the street guy, would you be crazy speech guy
Speaker 1: like Jason Kelsey?
Speaker 2: What would you do in a parade? Oh, I'm the
Speaker 2: less sneed speech guy.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: You know you got the gray hair. So it's a
Speaker 2: little sage wisdom.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go up there and this I'm gonna
Speaker 3: talk a little trash. If I'm a little loubed up,
Speaker 3: I may say, you know, blank them picks, surprise everybody
Speaker 3: with a little, you know.
Speaker 2: Foul language.
Speaker 3: But again, I gotta keep in my lane because again
Speaker 3: the great hair. I can't play off of player. I've
Speaker 3: got to be an executive, so I got to play
Speaker 3: that role.
Speaker 1: So because you're older, you're taking yourself forget player, you're
Speaker 1: taking yourself right to executive.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, man, I'm well past that young stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm still young. I'm actually not young. People think I'm young,
Speaker 1: but I'm really not. What I would do, I would
Speaker 1: be chilling on the float smoking cigar guy right, like,
Speaker 1: I see the fans, but I'm not crazy. Not I
Speaker 1: get offensive lineman who's like yelling at high five and
Speaker 1: I'm soaking up. I'm smoking the cigar and I'm just
Speaker 1: enjoying winning a super Bowl. None of us are gonna
Speaker 1: win super Bowls at all. I'm just saying it's fun
Speaker 1: to pretend, right anyway, Steve Weis, thank you very much
Speaker 1: for joining us in a star studded Insider show. They're
Speaker 1: right there. That's me smoking the cigar. Anyway, join us
Speaker 1: on Monday, bye,
