1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: East Chicago. Is there any other Chicago? 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 2: Yes? 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 3: The Bears peer step closer to potentially moving to Indiana 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 3: thanks to new developments. Today we will tell you the 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 3: latest as their stadium fight soldiers on free agency less 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 3: than three weeks away, and you only have six months 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 3: until your fantasy draft. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: That's it. It's a good thing. 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 3: We got Michael f Florio here tonight to tell you 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 3: which free agents will flourish fantastically this fall. Charles Cross 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 3: will not be changing teams because he already got paid 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: and got a Super Bowl title. The Seahawks left tackle 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 3: joins us tonight to discuss the ride and what it'll 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: take for Seattle to go back to back. Welcome inside 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 3: with the Insiders alongside Judy Btisa, I am Tom Pellisero. Somehow, 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 3: it's been only eleven days since Seattle walked off the 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: field with that Lombardi Trophy. In many ways, it feels 18 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: like it's been eleven months, especially if you're Mike McDonald, 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 3: who has had to do a lot in terms of. 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: Replace the core part of his staff. 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: Clink Kubiak off to Las Vegas to become the Raiders 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: head coach, now officially replaced by former forty nine Ers 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: tight ends coach run game coordinator Brian Floury Joey McDonald 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: today to discuss how they'll move forward together. 25 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 4: Brian someone that uh that I've like, I've known about 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 4: for for a while and we have some like some 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 4: common relationships that that we shared and you know, kind 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: of throughout our you know, throughout the coaching ranks. So 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 4: I knew about Brian, I knew I knew he was 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 4: a great coach, and then we had an opportunity to 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 4: talk to him, and uh, he just just did a 32 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 4: phenomenal job. I think his vision for what he and 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: what he believes in offensively and with a football team 34 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: was aligned with how we wanted to and just uh, 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: you know, hit the principles in philosophy and how on 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 4: how he goes about his business and how he coaches 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 4: and what he wants from our offense. 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 5: He took it straight out of our culture. 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: So a lot of alignment, and it gave us an 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: opportunity to have some great continuity and keep some great 41 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 4: coaches as well, and let us take our offense to 42 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: the next level. 43 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: It looks very similar to the one that just won 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. 45 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 6: It's more about how you play than what you actually 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 6: are doing schematically. We're going to be fast and violent 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 6: and aggressive in every way that we possibly can put 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 6: pressure on defenses, both schematically and from a tempo standpoint, 49 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 6: and just always have that type of mindset. 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: Hey, look at some of the other teams that have 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl and then lost their offensive coordinator. 52 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: Only one the twenty twenty. 53 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: Two Chiefs repeated it should be noted they were also 54 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 3: the only team to replace a guy with a beard. See, 55 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: I don't know trying that same thing in reverse, Judy. 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: I've spent some time around Brian Florey is an extraordinarily 57 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: intelligent guy and one of the longest tenured assistants that 58 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan had in San Francisco. You can't work for 59 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: Kyle for that long if you are not extremely detailed, 60 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: extremely bright, because he sets the bar so high. But 61 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: it isn't unknown anytime that you're hiring the first time 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: play caller, not to mention the fact that he's joining 63 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl champs. What do you anticipate looking for 64 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: as we're seeing this offense for a lot of what's 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: it going to take for them to be function at 66 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 3: the level that they were when they walked off the 67 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: field against the Patriots. 68 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 7: Well, certainly the theme of the day and the message 69 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 7: of the day was continuity. There's going to be a 70 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 7: through line, right, The scheme is not going to change. 71 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 7: Their style of play is not going to change. They 72 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 7: are not trying to upset the Apple card here. They 73 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 7: obviously had great success with the way the offense ran 74 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 7: last season and they want to run it back as 75 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 7: close to what they had last season as they can get. 76 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 7: But you're right, I mean there is some risk here 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 7: because he has never called the game. He is a 78 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 7: first time play caller, which Mike McDonald said, well, every 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 7: play caller is at some point in his career or 80 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 7: first time play caller. 81 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 8: That is certainly true. 82 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 7: That person is not usually in the position of calling 83 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 7: plays for the first time for the defending Super Bowl champion. 84 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 7: Not only will there be that change, there obviously could 85 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 7: be personnel changes. Kenneth Walker is a free agent, for example, 86 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 7: so as Rashi Chihid. We'll see who returns to the fold. 87 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 7: This is going to look different only because he is 88 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 7: going to be calling the plays and we'll see how 89 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 7: long it takes for him to get comfortable calling the plays, 90 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 7: but in terms of their style of play, I would 91 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 7: not expect much of a change. It's clear that Mike 92 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 7: McDonald does not want much of a change. The goal 93 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 7: here has to be to make Sam Darnold as comfortable 94 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 7: again this year as he was last season. Now let's 95 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 7: move on to the Chicago Bears. Who are the Chicago Bears. Well, 96 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 7: maybe they're moving there in search of a new stadium somewhere. 97 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 7: They have toyed with building near Soldier Field, They've toyed 98 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 7: with going to the suburbs, and today they are flirting 99 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 7: with northwest Indiana. 100 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 8: Going all the way over the border. 101 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 7: The Bears have an Indian Indiana House of Representatives' Ways 102 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 7: and Means committee has to be establishing a stadium authority, 103 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 7: so that is one step closer. We are still a 104 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 7: long way from resolution here. We will see where they 105 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 7: end up if that means changing states as well as 106 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 7: changing stadiums. However, they got some very good news in 107 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 7: Philadelphia there all pro right tackle Lane Johnson is going 108 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 7: to return for the fourteenth season. Of course, his season 109 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 7: was cut short last year, cut in half really by 110 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 7: a foot injury. And all you need to know about 111 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 7: how important he is to the Philadelphia Eagles is to 112 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 7: see how that offense struggles when he is not on 113 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 7: the field, especially the running game. 114 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 8: So this was very, very good news, especially. 115 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 7: Considering that long time offensive line coach Jeff stoutlind is 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 7: not going to return. 117 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 5: Tom. 118 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: Six time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans also plans 119 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: to play in twenty twenty six the onelike Lane Johnson, 120 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: perhaps not with the team that drafted him. Evans agent 121 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: Derek Gilmore said earlier this week he is opening it up. 122 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: He will play next season with someone. It could be Tampa. 123 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: He will definitely play a thirteenth season. Let's welcome in 124 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: our Sarah Wallshoe covers that Bucks team very closely. Sarah, 125 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: It's hard to imagine Mike Evans in a uniform more 126 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: than a Buccaneers uniform. Then again, it was one very 127 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: difficult to imagine Tom Brady in a Buccaneer's uniform. You've 128 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 3: covered Evans closely. How do you anticipate this plays out 129 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: over these next several weeks? 130 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 9: Well, first of all, Tom, this is a standard off 131 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 9: season operating procedure for me. Here the last couple of 132 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 9: years talking about a big name Tampa receiver that could 133 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 9: be leaving town. Last year, it was Chris Godwin and 134 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 9: he stayed here. Two years ago it was Mike Evans. 135 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 9: And now we're back to Mike Evans again because two 136 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 9: years ago he signed that two year, fifty two million 137 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 9: dollar deal that is now expired. Key battle back from 138 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 9: that hamstring, concussion, broken collarbone injury this year, because there 139 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 9: was one point this season where people wondered here in 140 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 9: Tampa if this was it for Mike Evans in the NFL. 141 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 9: But when he came back from those injuries and he 142 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 9: made the comment that being out made him realize just 143 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 9: how much he loved this game of football, you knew 144 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 9: he was going to return. And now the question becomes, 145 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 9: if he didn't leave two years ago, you think, well, 146 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 9: why would he leave? 147 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 10: Now? 148 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 11: He has talked about wanting to be a Buccaneer for life. 149 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 9: Mike is extremely, extremely competitive. He wants another rin. So 150 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 9: his agent and him are probably weighing the options that 151 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 9: are out there and is there a team that is 152 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 9: closer than the Buccaneers are right now to getting him 153 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 9: back to the Super Bowl. 154 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 11: And it's something valid to be weighing at this. 155 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 9: Point in his career and It's ununderstandable, and I do 156 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 9: think when all is said and done, the feeling is 157 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 9: is I believe Mike would be back in Tampa, but 158 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 9: if there is a better opportunity out there for him, 159 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 9: you could make the case that this is the greatest 160 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 9: buccaneer ever to play for this franchise. And I think 161 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 9: even if Mike did leave for the chance potentially to 162 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 9: win another Super Bowl, I think he is so beloved 163 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 9: in this community people would root him on no matter what. 164 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 9: But Mike Evans return to Tampa is certainly I think 165 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 9: a little more in question than it was two years ago. 166 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: Tom another annual tradition, the Buckersneears hired a new offensive coordinator, 167 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: this time at Zack Robinson coming to Tampa. You know, defensively, 168 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: Todd Bowles is calling the plays. You've had some longtime 169 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 3: star wars. But there are some holes here. It seems 170 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: like Sarah that whether it's Sir Fraiden's here, the draft, 171 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: they're going to have to fill. 172 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no question there's holes on defensive. Steve struggled 173 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 9: last year. Over the last couple of years, Jason Lay 174 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 9: has gotten a lot of credit for retaining guys guys 175 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 9: like Mike Chris Tristan Wurfs. When they won that Super Bowl, 176 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 9: he brought back the entire Super Bowl winning team and 177 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 9: so so much of that has been heralded. 178 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 11: But the problem with. 179 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 9: That now is you haven't really gone out and gotten 180 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 9: any of these big names in free agency. That has 181 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 9: not been the Buccaneer way. But at this point they 182 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 9: know that they're going to have to do that. The 183 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 9: biggest headline that I don't even know if I can 184 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 9: say this is the biggest headline they made last years. 185 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 9: They signed Hassan Redicka was a free agent acquisition, but 186 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 9: he didn't make the comeback splash that they had hoped for. 187 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 11: Todd Bowles has talked about. 188 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 9: The fact that he wants this defense to get younger 189 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 9: and faster, and look, I know pretty much every team 190 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 9: in the league can say this, but the Buccaneers are 191 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 9: desperate for a game wrecking edge rusher. 192 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 8: They have not had that. 193 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 9: Shaq Barrett was the last Buccaneer that had double digit sacks. 194 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 9: That was back in twenty one. Before that, JPP Jason 195 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 9: Pierre Paul had double digit sacks in twenty eighteen. But 196 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 9: you'd have to go after a JPP back to two 197 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 9: thousand and five and Simeon Rice. They have not had 198 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 9: that recently. They have not gone out and acquired that 199 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 9: big name. They haven't felt like I think at. 200 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 8: Times that they needed to. 201 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 9: But again, this is a Buccaneers team that's used to 202 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 9: being in the postseason, missed it last year. They're going 203 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 9: to have to change how they do that and the 204 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 9: other thing to keep an eye on it. 205 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 11: I mentioned some of the. 206 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 9: Edge rushers, but linebackers is certainly something that this team needs. 207 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 11: Levonte David statuses up in the air. 208 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 9: It's always been this Mic and Lavonte and are they 209 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 9: will there or won't they come back? Levante just finished 210 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 9: his fourteenth NFL season of what he brings to a 211 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 9: locker room is immeasurable, but they definitely need some younger 212 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 9: guys and some other pieces to surround him with. If 213 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 9: Lavonte chooses to come back. 214 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: Sarah, thank you very much. 215 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 3: We'll stay with you over these next several weeks until 216 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: Mike Evans does indeed make a decision.

This is according to over 296 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 7: the Cap Well, just to continue the line, the Ravens 297 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 7: have about twenty two million dollars in cap space right now. 298 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 7: That's seventeenth in the NFL. But look at the Tennessee Titans, 299 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 7: almost one hundred and four million dollars in cap space. 300 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 7: They are in a very good spot. Let's bring in 301 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 7: our Mark Ross. If he had all of this money 302 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 7: to spend, what would he do with it? 303 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: All? 304 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 7: Right, Mark, let's start with the Titans again, almost one 305 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 7: hundred and four million dollars in cap space, and they 306 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 7: also have the quarterback in the building, so they're in 307 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 7: a pretty good spot. 308 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 16: Pretty good spot, and I'm just going to call them 309 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 16: the new Patriots, Judy. 310 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Check out these parallels. 311 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 16: Where last year the Patriots had Drake May a second 312 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 16: year quarterback, now the Titans have cam Ward The Titans 313 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 16: hired Robert Salad, defensive minded head coach who was a 314 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 16: former head coach as well Mike Rabel, same situation. 315 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: The Titans hied Brian Dabels. 316 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 16: They're offensive coordinator, former head coach on his second go 317 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 16: rouse coordinator. The Patriots had Josh McDaniel. Last year, the 318 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 16: Patriots were number one in salary cap space. The Titans 319 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 16: are number one in salary cap space. And if that's 320 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 16: not even the last of it, the Patriots had a 321 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 16: fourth pick of the draft last year. Guess who has 322 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 16: a fourth pick of the draft The Titans. So of 323 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 16: course it's all about that guy there, cam Ward. But 324 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 16: much like the Patriots did last year, they just attacked everywhere. 325 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 16: They had so much money, they attacked everything on defense, 326 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 16: They made trades for the Stefan Diggs of the world. 327 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 16: Of course, they crusted in the draft as well. So well, 328 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 16: here are a lot of teams as all season Judy 329 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 16: talk about let's just do like the Patriots. They make 330 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 16: that leap like the Patriots. Well, the Titans literally have 331 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 16: all the parallels and all the spots that the Patriots 332 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 16: had last year, So they better get to work and 333 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 16: make all the right decisions. 334 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 7: I think you just predicted that the Titans are going 335 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 7: to go to the AFC Championship Game and maybe even 336 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 7: the supermall next season. All right, let's go to the 337 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 7: team with the second most cap space, that is the 338 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 7: Raiders at almost ninety two million, And of course they 339 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 7: also have the first overall draft pick. What are they 340 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 7: going to do? 341 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 16: Yeah, first overall pick a new head coach. So of 342 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 16: course there's going to be a lot of excitement there 343 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 16: with having Clink Kubiak coming off the Super Bowl the 344 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 16: offensive coordinator, and with that guy right there, Fernando Mendoza 345 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 16: coming off the National Championship. I mean, has that ever 346 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 16: happened in the history of football? If you've got a 347 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,359 Speaker 16: guy that won the Super Bowl and the National Championship 348 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 16: together of the first year on the team. But there 349 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 16: has to be a huge infrastructure boost there, a huge 350 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 16: talent of infrastructure infrastructure there for the Raiders because they 351 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 16: do have a couple of pieces and brock Bowers and 352 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 16: acid gent, but they need a ton of new offensive linemen. 353 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 16: They need some more playmakers on the defensive side of 354 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 16: the ball. What's going to happen with mattx Crosby If 355 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 16: he is not around. Okay, then that's another hole they 356 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 16: have to fill. So of course they have the money 357 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 16: to attack it, and we'll see what the vision Clink 358 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 16: Kubiak has. But Fernando Mendoza to me works best as 359 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 16: sort of a point guard distributor, so let's focus on 360 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 16: him getting as many bodies and top talent around him 361 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 16: as possible. 362 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 7: Judy, all right, let's look at the other side of 363 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 7: a team that is not in such a great salary 364 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 7: cap shape right now, the Dallas Cowboys. 365 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 8: What do they need to do this offseason? 366 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 16: Well, they need a lot, particularly on the defensive side 367 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 16: of ball. But first of all, they got to create 368 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 16: some money. They got to create some money. They got 369 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 16: George Pickens that they're going to probably tag there, and 370 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 16: then how do we create the money. They're going to 371 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 16: have to restructure Dak Prescott's contract, much like the Kansas 372 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 16: City Chiefs restructure Patrick Mahomes to create some space there, 373 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 16: pushing that money into the future. Ceedee Lamb is another 374 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 16: potential candidate there. Big money value their big money contract 375 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 16: that they can restructure and then extend players like a 376 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 16: Quinn Williams who they traded for last year, which will 377 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 16: allocate that money over multiple pro eate that money over 378 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 16: multiple years, and then of course some cut candidates like 379 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 16: a Malik Hooker, which will save them cap space as well. 380 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 16: So they're really going to have to attack free agency 381 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 16: first with restructuring, extending their own players, cutting some players 382 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 16: that create space before they even try to go sign 383 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 16: some other players in free agency. 384 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 7: We've got several more weeks to sift through all of 385 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 7: the teams all of their salary cap space, and that 386 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 7: is why we don't want you to go very far. 387 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 8: Mark Rossett, thank you very much. 388 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 7: When we come back, we're going to talk about a 389 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 7: guy who is not going anywhere. That is Seahawks left 390 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 7: tackle Charles Cross. We're still talking about their Super Bowl victory. 391 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 7: He's going to join us next on the Insiders. 392 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: Every player's dream hoisting that Lombardi Trophy. That's what Charles 393 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: Cross and his teammates got to do with the Seattle 394 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: Seahawks earlier this month. Where please be joined right now 395 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: by Charles Croft, the left tackle on that team.

Well, I'm 400 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 2: been trying to want sleep the past couple of days. 401 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 3: I have to imagine something like this, everyone comes out 402 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 3: of the woodwork.

Just just 422 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 3: tell me about the fabric of this Seahawks team that 423 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 3: allowed you guys. 424 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 5: To be champions'. 425 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 2: Mike mc donald has done a great job of just 426 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: building the culture it want, just buying in all three. 427 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: Phrases outfense, defense, just the teams. 428 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: Let's let's speeding and playing off one another, picking picking 429 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: on another up and just have a great cambridery as 430 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 2: a team, like he'll sit the foundation as a team. 431 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 3: Pete Carrold's the head coach. When you get drafted several 432 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 3: years ago, you're out of your second season, Pete gets 433 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 3: let go. It's a shocking move to a lot of people. 434 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 3: In comes this thirty six year old Mike McDonald. What 435 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: do you remember about your initial impressions of him and 436 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 3: what your outlook on was in terms of where this 437 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: team goes from here. 438 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 5: I knew it was a great coach. 439 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: We played them in twenty twenty three when he was 440 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 2: in Baltimore at their DC. They was run for our 441 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: money the game. So him coming to Seattle and doplemented 442 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: his style and his playbook and his culture really helped 443 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: the stand up for us and you know, really attributes to. 444 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 5: This being where we were today. 445 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: The big couple of months for you, not just the 446 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl win. 447 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 3: But early January you're signing one hundred plus million dollar 448 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: contract extension. Those types of mega deals don't really happen 449 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 3: during the season. 450 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: Can you just take me through how. 451 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 3: And why that got done right before or as you 452 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 3: were getting back on the field head end of the playoffs. 453 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 5: I just lay my agent doing the job.

Have you given yourself time 462 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: out to think about is there one thing you've wanted to, 463 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: you know, to spend a little bit of that cash on. 464 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 5: Well, for me, I'm more of a silper person. 465 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: I like to do things here and there, but I'm 466 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: saving That's. 467 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: The smartest answer possible to that question. You may have 468 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: another contract coming here down the line as well. When 469 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 3: you look at where the Seahawks team now is going. 470 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 3: Everybody knows. Listen, it's hard to repeat your off seasons 471 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 3: a month shorter, and there inevitably are changes, including on 472 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: your coaching staff. Clint Kubiak, who did a phenomenal job 473 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: this season his first year as the OC, now off 474 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 3: to be the head coach of the Raiders. What if 475 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: anything do you know about Brian Fleury and what's the 476 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 3: key for this offense to keep rolling like you were. 477 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: At the end of the season. 478 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: I'm familiar with him.

He's going to come in and sit to 481 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: stand fist offense and put us in position of assaints 482 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: each and every day. 483 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you got a couple of your teammates 484 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 3: to key guys on that offense who are free agents. 485 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 3: Rashid Shaheed is one of them who made a huge 486 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: impact on you. And then he got Kenneth Walker or 487 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: John Schneider, the GM said came up to him at 488 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: the victory prede, which is I think purely off limits 489 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: if the GM's holding a Red Solo Cup. Nothing negotiated 490 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 3: the accounts. But what's your outlook on guys like that? 491 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: I mean literally the Super Bowl MVP and a guy 492 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 3: in Shahita made as big of an impact as anybody. 493 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 3: I know you want your friends, your teammates to get paid, 494 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: but I'm sure on some of it, you'd also like 495 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: them back in Seattle. 496 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely know those great guys, high level guys, great 497 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: great people overall. 498 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 5: On you know, this visit at the end of the day, 499 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 5: I would love him to come back and be a 500 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 5: part of the team.

Florio, 538 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: who is already thinking ahead of how free agency, which 539 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 3: is less than three weeks away, could inpact your fantasy season, 540 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: which at last Jack. 541 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: Florio still over six months away. 542 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: So we are calling this Florio's fantasy favorites to flourishing 543 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: for agency because they know how much I hate alliteration 544 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: on TV. Give me a quarterback, Floro, you're interested the 545 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 3: sea where he lance that could make an impact on 546 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: this fall. 547 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 10: Yet, myself and all those other fantasy stickles that are 548 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 10: drafted already are highly invested in Malik Willis. In fact, 549 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 10: I am more invested than where he ends up in 550 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 10: any player in free agency this off season. 551 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: It's a small sample size, but. 552 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 10: In the last two seasons, Willis leads quarterbacks in passer rating, 553 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 10: completetion percentage EPA per dropback, and success rate and what 554 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 10: you're seeing on your screen right there. 555 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: That's why I'm so excited for him. 556 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 10: In the eight games he played sixty percent or more 557 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 10: of the stats, the average forty rushing yards per game 558 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 10: and scored four rushing touchdowns. Running quarterbacks remain a cheat 559 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 10: code in fantasy. Maybe he ends up in Arizona with 560 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 10: the Lafloor connection, but anywhere he could be a starter 561 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 10: immediately is an ideal fantasy landing spot. 562 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 7: They're expected to be lots of very interesting running backs 563 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 7: available in free agency winter. 564 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 8: Are you interested in Judy? 565 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 10: We saw a lot of our favorite athletes leave New 566 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 10: York this past winter. 567 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: Why not one more in Breecee Hall? 568 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 10: Right like, he is coming off his first one thousand 569 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 10: yard rushing season, he has reached three hundred and fifty 570 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 10: plus receiving yards in three straight years. 571 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: We all know what Brees Hall could do. 572 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 10: On a football field, right He is a dual threat 573 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 10: running back who is super explosive. He is top ten, 574 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 10: maybe even top five fantasy potential at the running back position. 575 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 10: Just so far, he's been held back by this Jets 576 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 10: offense that is often trailing, not really playing from ahead. 577 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 10: Not a favorable game script for a running back. So 578 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 10: I'm hoping the Jets do not tag him and let 579 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 10: him go. Some fits that I think could help him 580 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 10: reach his full potential. The Chiefs are the dream one, 581 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 10: but the Cowboys the Broncos are sneaky, And then like 582 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 10: Texans and Saints ephen just somewhere besides the Jets, Please for. 583 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: Breeze Hall or hear me out Florio. 584 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: If Kenneth Walker the third leave Seattle Breese Hall slide 585 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 3: into that run dominant Seahawks, oh, could be really very interesting. 586 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 3: How about a wide receiver who, based on his free 587 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 3: age of landing spot, could really be big time this fall. 588 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 10: I think Alec Pierce is going to get paid and 589 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 10: fans are going to be surprised potentially by how much. 590 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 10: But he is so underrated in my opinion. He led 591 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 10: the Colts in receiving yards each of the last two seasons, 592 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 10: despite ranking third and fourth in targets on his own 593 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 10: team those years. In the last two years, he's led 594 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 10: the NFL in air yards per target. He led the 595 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 10: NFL in yards on deep targets in twenty twenty four, 596 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 10: was fourth in twenty twenty five. All of this is 597 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 10: for me to say he is one of the best 598 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 10: field stretchers in the NFL. He is a contested catch monster, 599 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 10: and I think there's still a little bit of meat 600 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 10: on the bones there. 601 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Like if he was to end up in Buffalo, Let's. 602 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 10: Say, I think he could beating a wide receiver one 603 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 10: in real life with the potential to finish one in fantasy. 604 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 10: The Titans are another landing spot that makes a lot 605 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 10: of sense to me. But I just wanted to go 606 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 10: somewhere where he could continue to get fed the balls 607 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 10: down field and maybe get more like one hundred plus 608 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 10: targets for a change. 609 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 5: I think that would be awesome for fantasy. 610 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 8: All right, let's finish up with another pass catcher tight end. 611 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 8: Who you at? 612 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm contractedly obligated to talk about. 613 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts whenever I get a chance. 614 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 10: So I'm going with Kyle Pitts here because he reminded 615 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 10: the world he could play at a very high level 616 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 10: and likely earned a whole bunch of money with his 617 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 10: final six game stretch where he was averaging nearly eighty 618 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 10: yards per game and scored four touchdowns. In fact, only 619 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 10: Trade mc bride had more yards and fantasy points amongst. 620 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 8: Tight ends last season. 621 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 10: Then, Kyle Pitts and Stefanski has utilized tight ends at 622 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 10: a high rate in Cleveland, so Atlanta remains a strong. 623 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 5: Fit for him. 624 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 10: Some other potential fits that I like are the Commanders 625 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 10: and Broncos, And then depending on what happens with their stars, 626 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 10: like George Kittle coming off the Achilles. Maybe forty nine 627 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 10: Ers could be a fit if Kelsey hangs it up. 628 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 8: I think the Chiefs could be a great fit. 629 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 10: But Kyle Pitch just put him somewhere where you can 630 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 10: get consistent targets and he will eat for fantasy purposes. 631 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 3: The first of two hundred and forty eight Florio, Kyle 632 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 3: Pitts segments to all run between now in week one, Floria, 633 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: we appreciate you. 634 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: Talk to you again soon. 635 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: Day two of HPCU practices were held. 636 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: Today. 637 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: New Orleans had a Saturday's All State HPCU Legacy Ball, 638 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 3: which you can watch right here on NFL Network four 639 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 3: pm Eastern Time on Saturday.
