We're just talking 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:18.599 out loud for no reason. It's being your man, NAMG 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.560 Marcus Grand joined by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. So 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.000 this is this is our last show before the Frenzy. 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:31.480 The free agent Frenzy happens Florida. You and I will 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.000 be in it. You know, you and I will be 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:39.000 doing a hits each allegedly during free agency Frenzy. We 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.120 even made it onto the graphic, which is kind of cool. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.680 Like I didn't think we'd make it onto the graphic. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:43.600 I was excited. 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.800 I mean, look, there's like fifty heads in that graphic, 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.839 but I was excited to be one of them. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.000 Yeah, that was cool, especial because I always feel like 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.760 sometimes I get done dirty with like promos and stuff 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.360 like I don't know, man, if you ever watch the 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.080 NFL Fantasy Live commercial set. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.000 To say it, but I know the exact commercial you're 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:02.440 thinking of. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.360 They cherry pick quotes and they put them together and 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.240 sometimes you know, just like, hey man, why'd you put 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.000 those two quotes together? That makes me sound weird? Big, fast, 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:18.280 strong guys. Apparently my wife ass. My wife laughed at 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.640 that endlessly for a while. For you go on because 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.360 you're you're a good morning football so you're on like 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.320 before things really get going, Like you're kind of the 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.959 call before the storm in the morning there. Huh. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.640 Yeah, some things leaked through. I mean, honestly, last year, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.319 I remember things falling through right before us getting on 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.880 there at five am, and then we're reporting about it 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.399 in the A block. I mean, I can't wait, man, Like, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.039 it's already some movement going on, and I feel like 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.880 we're in for a good free agent's frenzy. So let's 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.400 let's roll, all right. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.640 Cool, So we will finish up our run through the 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.520 divisions with the AFC and NFC West, uh, you know, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.680 kind of going through who's got what to spend and 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.520 maybe some potential fits for them. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.640 But we do have quite a bit of news. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.600 That has happened since the last time we spoke to you. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.560 Starting with something that broke this very morning. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.280 The Chicago Bears have decided they have seen enough of 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.359 Denniston Moore Junior, and they are sending him to the 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.120 Buffalo Bills. Oh did you not know that? Yeah, that's 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.639 that's that's his government. We love the governments more or 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.160 sitting to the Buffalo bills For what is being reported 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.800 as a second round pick. It's Dj Moore and a 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.600 fifth round pick going to Buffalo. A second round pick 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.280 is coming back to Chicago. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.440 So Florial Josh I in theory has his receiver right. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.920 They've been looking for a number one receiver for a 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.119 while for him, and it seems that they got their guy. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.640 I know, the immediate reaction on social media, because social 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.080 media hates everything, is the bills overpaid. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.440 But your initial reaction to this deal. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.680 Yeah, I don't care at all what people are saying 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.000 about an overpaid. Look, if you want to have discussions 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.800 on how DJ Moore fits and uh what he still 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.600 has to provide and all of that, we could have 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.880 those conversations. But like, as someone who lives and dies 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.840 with this team and has watched them extremely closely, DJ 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.720 Moore is going to be the best wide receiver to 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.040 step on the field with Josh Allen since Stefan Diggs 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:23.280 and I do love how it's. The conversation is like, well, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.880 DJ Moore can't play. He had a down year last year. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.480 Over the last two years. Okay, there's something did change 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.520 in those two years the quarterback and he put up 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.400 better numbers on like a per target basis than Roma doonsday. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.720 So is Roma doonsay washed? 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.400 I mean depending who you ask. Somebody out there might. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:46.400 Say yes, Dad, it might be listening in. I think 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:47.720 he's gonna play a lot of the X. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.480 That's what he did with Joe Brady in twenty twenty 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.520 and twenty twenty one, which, by the way, he had 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.320 a ton of success each of those two seasons, his 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.600 best two year stretch in the NFL, not his best 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.000 individual season, but his best two years stretch. And even 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.080 last year right like, he played sixty six percent of 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.560 the Stamps out why twenty eight from the slot, four 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.600 percent from the backfield. He was highly rated and all 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.280 three aspects went on the field. He can run the 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.920 big boy routes that no one on the Bills really 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.200 could last season. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.520 So now this this. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.679 Pushes Shakir to be he could play in the slot 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.200 a lot and not have to be the focal point 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.960 of the passing game. Same thing with Dalton Kincaid. So 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.600 those now become secondary weapons. And then you have Coleman 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.160 and Josh Palmer who you can move around. But my 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.600 favorite part about this is DJ Moore can move all 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.240 over the field, which means it's not going to be 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.560 like last season where key On Coleman was the X 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.520 and Shakir was in the slot and Palmer was the 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.920 why and there was really no moving these guys around. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.400 Now all of them are versatile and they could all 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.279 kind of move around the field. You could use a 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.000 lot of motion and and as a deep bault, right, 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.400 DJ Moore rated better last year than any one on 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.240 the Bills, So I think naturally DJ Moore is going 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.920 to get a bump because it's a huge quarterback upgrade, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.160 less target competition, but I also think everyone else, like 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.600 from a Bills fan standpoint, Yeah, maybe this isn't aj 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.160 Brown and that was like the Crown Jewel, but this 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.320 is still a big upgrade. And I think for the 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.800 next two years he's gonna be Josh Allen's go to 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.599 number one option. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.520 So this does actually beg a couple of questions. I mean, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.760 first off, I think one DJ Moore going to the Bills, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.880 it sort of creates a separation, right, Like, I don't 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.479 know the Bears were completely happy with what they've gotten 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.240 out of Dj Moore. It felt like Ben Johnson was 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.440 struggling to find ways to use him. I mean, you know, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.120 they were trying to put him in the backfield and 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.280 have him run routes there just to try to get 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.920 him open. It seemed like DJ Moore at times was 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.000 frustrated with the way things were going. Maybe less so 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.120 this past year, but certainly the stories a narrative of 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.479 him and his body language and that sort of thing. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.159 That was a story. So now he gets to a 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.960 place with a fresh start. He certainly doesn't lose anything 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.440 in quarterback, probably gains a little bit in terms of 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.039 what he's getting at quarterback in Josh Allen, and he 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.280 goes to a place where he is, in my mind, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.800 the undisputed top target in the offense. And that was 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.160 not a thing you could say in Chicago last year, 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.279 whether it was Romo Dunes early in the year, it 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.080 was Colston Loveland later in the year, Djbore was always 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.640 battling with somebody for targets. So, now that we've kind 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.279 of cleared the deck in that regard the Kwan, how 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.039 far are you pushing him up the draft board? 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.000 Third round? There you spend a second round pick on 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.240 DJ Moore, I don't know. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.159 I mean, I think third round seems viable with the 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:46.240 situation he's in. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.600 Is that too high? Is that too low? Is somebody 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.680 gott to reach for him in the second I like 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.080 the third round, Like I could see myself taking him 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.960 on the board there and again he'll be a wide 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.360 receiver too in the offense with an elite quarterback. Finally 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.080 that we haven't seen DJ more have this with him, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.640 and I feel like at the end of the day, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.200 we're getting somebody that's versatile, that can win on all 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.120 three levels. I mean, God, you're getting Josh Allen's rocket 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.080 arm with somebody that can separate vertically. Like this is 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.520 DJ's more dream spot. Again, I would have been happy 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.760 if it was aj Brown, but again it wasn't. I 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.560 would have been happy if it was Alec Pierce. But 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.200 this is a huge difference maker for DJ Moore in Buffalo, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.200 where this elevates him to wide receiver one production once 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.680 again and again having the familiarity with Joe Brady because 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.880 they spent time in Carolina in twenty and twenty one. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.240 This is not going to be something like he has 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.800 to learn an entire new offense. This is something that 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.280 he was very productive in back to back seasons. He 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.160 had a thousand yards over seventy yards from scrimmage in 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.400 back to back seasons with Joe Brady. So it's like 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.520 we're getting somebody that already is going to be in 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.280 a situation that is going to be comfortable, going to 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.720 be the obvious one where the gap between him and 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.200 the rest of the team is far far, you know 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.560 what I mean? Like, I love Klos Shakir, He's my guy. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.280 He still remains as Josh Allen's most reliable target. But 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.200 this is going to be what's going to get the 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.000 Bills over to helme and possibly get to the big dance, 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.800 because again, taking them off the board in the third round, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.600 we got to understand who's probably going to be there. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.760 The tet Row McMillan's of the world are probably going 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.960 to be there, or these rookies that are going to 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.040 be coming off the draft board earlier than they should be. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.640 So I like Dj Moore in terms of what he 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.160 brings to the table and talent being that he has 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.520 an elite quarterback throwing him the ball. How can you 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.559 not like that or even try to take a shot 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.480 at that as somebody that's probably going to be on 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:28.800 your team as a wide receiver too. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.840 Yeah. No, I okay, you mentioned Tech McMillan. You're on 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.240 the board. You're on the clock. Tech McMillan and DJ 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:43.280 Moore are there. Who would you guys rather have Dj? Yeah? 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.960 Yeah, if you flip their quarterbacks, I would go the 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:46.400 other way. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:47.679 There you go. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:49.920 That's what it comes down to. 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.560 No, that's a hundred percent. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.080 While we're on this trade, I just want to real quick, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.920 Luther Burden is absolutely gone. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.400 I would be a. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.760 Very next question. Like I feel like Luthor Burden. If 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.040 you didn't you weren't one of the sikos who were 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.760 doing Bestball drafts right after the Super Bowl and you 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.040 didn't get Luther Burden, I feel like now the price 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.920 is going to be so insane, Like that's price. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.800 Imagine it's not today's price. He so you guys like I. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.720 Loved him, like I was pounding the table when when 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.040 he was a polarizing prospect too, like like people had 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.640 strong takes each way. I loved the kid, But I 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.800 was digging into his stats a little bit this morning. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.880 He the highest passer rating when targeted on the Bears 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.800 when lined up out wide, lined up in the slot, 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.920 and on deep targets, and he led the Bears in 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.199 yards per target, yards per route, yack per catch, and 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.240 catch rate. Like I understand catch rate is probably because 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.079 his air yards were pretty low. But I mean he 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.320 could win downfield, he could win after the catch, he 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:52.880 could win out wide, he could win in the slot. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.960 And Ben Johnson targeted this guy knowing they had the 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.280 other receivers there, so he's gonna get a lot of hype. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.800 I'm just wanting to go I'm going to be one 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.560 of the people doing the hyping. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.000 I'm just the draft price on Luther Burden is going 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.360 to get out of control. What will happen is right now, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:15.400 especially through March into April, it's going to be really, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.720 really insane. It'll start to calm down a little bit 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.320 because again we'll wake up on a random day in 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.600 May and some other guys getting hyped up and getting 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.720 pushed up the board. But man, it's going to go 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.680 crazy on Luther Burden. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.440 I mean him, Colston Lovelin, you're gonna have to pay up. Yeah, 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.320 Loveland is probably the tight end three. I'd imagine I 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.960 mean I would imagine now, yeah, I think so. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.719 I think he absolutely is at this point. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.920 And I again totally understand why. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.920 Yeah, so I'm gonna shuffle around our rundown here a 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.360 little bit, just because we're talking wide receivers at this point. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.120 You mentioned Stefan Diggs being the best receiver that Josh 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.800 Allen has had during his ten year. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:54.440 He's a free agent. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.560 The Patriots have moved on from him after one season, 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.400 so he is out there. He's also facing some legal issues, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.360 so we don't know what the resolution to that is 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.080 going to be. I mean, somebody takes a chance on 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:15.760 Stefan Diggs, right the Jets, I feel like the you know, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.120 the Anakin Skywalker pad may meme, somebody takes a chance 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.840 on him, right right. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.040 I don't know. There's some all field issues that he 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.320 obviously has to deal with, and I think that a 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.800 team will probably just wait it out until that's resultd 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.360 But honestly, like when we talk about teams that don't 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.240 necessarily have the weapons, like the Jets, Raiders, et cetera, 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.800 et cetera, like who needs a wide receiver? A veteran 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.120 he may be on his way to the retirement home 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.680 he might be a Titan, he might be a chief. Hell, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.760 you might be a raven. I don't know, but I 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.160 do feel like you know, now it's going to be 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.360 quiet waters for Stefan Diggs until you know, he deals 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.040 with what he has to deal with all field, So 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.199 who knows. Don't think that he's going to be fantasy 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.640 relevant this year. He won't find me taking him off 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.360 the board. But again we see how that falls out. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.600 The Ravens would be interesting only in the senses it 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.880 gets him back home in the state of Maryland. Maybe 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.840 that's yeah. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.600 I can see him going there, and then next year 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.720 he'll be somewhere else, and then the year after he'll 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:15.440 be somewhere else. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.240 His couch, his couch and his couch. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.679 There's a reason why, right, Like in the last three years, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.040 three different like he could still play, but teams are 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.560 moving on, which I think tells you a lot about 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:31.679 the behind the scenes and. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.640 Stuff, right yeah. I mean, at some point when you're you're, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.720 the chaos that you bring with you starts to you know, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.400 even out or exceed the production, then it's easy for 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.160 teams to move on. Speaking a wish and I means 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.040 to put this in the Rundown, and I forgot. We 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:51.720 are two days away from the seventh year anniversary of 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.480 maybe the greatest fifteen minutes in sports Twitter history, the 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.880 fifteen minutes or so in which Antonio Brown was a 0:12:58.920 --> 0:12:59.560 Buffalo bill. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.120 I remember that night vivid. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:07.520 March seventh, twenty nineteen was the day which that happened. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.800 I remember it hit fairly late on the West coast. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.600 I mean it was probably nine to ten o'clock on 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.240 the West coast when that happened. The trade went down, 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.199 everybody went nuts, and then you know, less than half 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.880 an hour later, the reports are Antonio saying I'm not 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:25.280 going to Buffalo the deal with all. Yeah, So the 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.240 anniversary of that hits on Saturday. I just wanted to 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.400 just want to mention that. That's all other interesting wide 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:36.760 receiver news news ish. The Eagles still sort of engaging 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.720 in AJ Brown trade talks. They say they want a 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.800 first rounder and more for AJ Brown. Look, I get it, 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.360 if you are the Eagles, you don't need the trade 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.880 AJ Brown. If somebody is going to pony up and 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.959 give you the moon for him, then sure you make 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.880 you make that deal. But in the meantime, you're fine 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.800 holding on to him. He's still a very good, talented receiver. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.120 So I mean saying all of that, Florida, do you 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.000 believe that A. J. Brown's actually gonna get traded this offseason? 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.400 I think the DJ Moore trade has a big impact 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.920 on it because if you're getting a second round pick. 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.880 For DJ Moore, and I know when the Eagles were. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.040 Like, we want a first plus, people were like, yeah, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.840 I want a lot of things, but like, no, they 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.520 taste that. It'll be like DJ Moore went for a second. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.960 You guys know, I love AJ Brown. I think he 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.920 was one of the best wide receivers in the league. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.320 So there are I do think there are. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.880 A lot of teams out there with that would pay 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.640 that price to get AJ Well maybe not a lot, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.760 but there's a few. But yeah, this is a tough 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.240 one to figure out because on one hand, like the 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.800 Titans make a ton of sense, but they're not going 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.160 to get up the fourth overall pick to go and 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:46.720 get him. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.600 The Bills I think were the one that. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.400 The Eagles were kind of banking on potentially being the 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.480 team to move him to. But yeah, if you're end 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.600 up going into the season with AJ Brown, you're completely 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.360 happy as an Eagles. In fact, I would be hoping 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.160 for that if I was an Eagles fan, because you're 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.400 better with AJ. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.440 Brown than without him. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.880 I know how he has excelled at drafting, but you're 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.120 not drafting in AJ Brown, and at least not for 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.360 twenty twenty six, you know. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.360 Yeah. I also have seen a lot of chatter about 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.880 people expecting this to be a huge breakout year for 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.840 Devonte Smith even if AJ Brown stays around. So that's 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.360 kind of something to maybe think about. Who knows, sure, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.600 that's another conversation for another time. I would take a 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.440 quick break, come back on a few more news headlines, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.480 and we'll get into our AFC West NFC West previews. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:45.120 That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. A couple 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:50.840 more news items down in Atlanta. The Falcons are parting 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.840 ways with Darnell Mooney. I don't know, que it feels 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.320 like Mooney kind of got did dirty a little bit. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.640 Oh yeah, we talked about this he. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.280 Had with a broken collarbone that that was never disclosed, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.360 and then everybody, you know, the fans looked at it 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:08.960 like why isn' Darnell Mooney producing? 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.000 The Falcons seem to be like, why is it Darnell 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.360 Mooney producing and then there's. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.800 Like somebody leaked out like, oh, by the way, he 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.520 broke his collarbone in the preseason, so the then suddenly 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.080 the light one. I was like, oh, that's why Darnell 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.560 Muley is not producing, and now they're moving on from him. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.080 I would think at I think he's a twenty eight 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.120 twenty nine at the oldest has been productive. I would 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.560 think out que there's gonna be a market for Darnell 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:32.360 Moody out there. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.240 Yeah, there's a home for him. I think honestly, when 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.840 we think about Darnall Mooney, it goes back to Chicago 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.960 of where like he was forced to be a one 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.240 at one point and then he showed that he could 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.800 be a solid two in Atlanta, and I think, you know, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.600 this past season was kind of unfair trying to like 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.880 grade him off of that being then he was banged up. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.720 So I think there's plenty of teams that we're going 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.280 to talk about today where donoh Moodey could still be 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.920 serviceable and go out there and contribute to an offense. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.840 Like I do think at the end of the day, 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.200 it's all of like how much is that price going 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.480 to be for him. I don't think you're going to 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.680 be breaking the bank for him, but a one year 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.800 deal man, just have money go out there, you know, 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.280 B or two or have rotational three. I don't know, man, 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.199 I mean la, I mean why not. I'm happy with 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.320 darna in the Mooney in terms of what he's able 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.520 to contribute to the field. Again, nobody is the Rams. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.560 Are the Chargers the Rams, We don't have knowledge San 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.240 Diego Chargers, man, but they can share the stadium. But anyway, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.720 we looking at Darnau Mooney. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.920 Unless your son, you're saying that. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:35.119 It's my son's fault, shout out the mason, it's his fault. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.520 But I do think at the end of the day, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.840 when we think about Darnau Mooney, I always go back 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.480 to him and Kirk Cousins and connecting deep downfield and 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.800 being one of the guys that we were really surprised 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.720 like for a couple of weeks for fantasy, like Yo, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.920 Darnam Money's going out there putting up some points, getting 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.280 them off the waiver wire. Like I think Darnah Mooney 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.800 still has something in the tank. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.400 Yeah, Curiously, where he goes, somebody's going to sign him 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.919 and he's depending on the situation. Definitely gonna have some 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.639 later round fantasy values. Always that guy that shows up 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.800 every few weeks of the year where you're kind of 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.879 glad that you threw him in a flex spot or something. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.120 So I think that's gonna. 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.720 We're best ball. You're glad that you drafted him. The 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.880 Falcons wide receiver room, though, behind Drake London is absolutely disgusting. 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:22.399 Oh it's bleak, David Sills, baby, it is absolutely that's gonna. 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:23.240 He's gonna get a. 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.439 Ton of targets. I mean, no, you're you're You're probably 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.160 not wrong. Kevin Sefanski will work something out for him. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:34.320 A couple of franchise slash transition tag updates. The Colts 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.960 do apply the transition tag to Daniel Jones, so he 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.760 is not going anywhere. He'll be back in Indianapolis, which 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.200 I don't think anybody's surprised by that. I think the 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.520 only question was whether he got tagged or whether they, 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.520 you know, sign him to a new deal. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.359 No team is going to match that tag. Nobody's going 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:53.720 to try. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.520 No, nobody that. I just have a question, y'all, can 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.600 we stop disrespecting Michael Pittman, because every we talk about 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.199 the Colts. You guys are all like Alec Pierce and 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.439 I sort of and I get it. But when Daniel 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.400 Jones was healthy, even before he started Daniel jonesing before 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.640 the injury, Michael Pittman was the guy he targeted the most. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.760 And I know the counting stats favor Alec Pierce, but 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.600 I went back and looked at it, and Daniel Jones 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.120
