So 27 00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:28,788 Speaker 6: you guys, the Veren brothers, they were always very relevant 28 00:01:28,828 --> 00:01:30,148 Speaker 6: in the NFL with Jee. 29 00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:32,228 Speaker 7: He is everything that they say. 30 00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:36,748 Speaker 4: Yeah, there is no sneaking anything, Miss God. 31 00:01:37,028 --> 00:01:38,788 Speaker 3: That is mister Brock Green. All right, we're going to 32 00:01:39,148 --> 00:01:42,228 Speaker 3: rely on him as well as our Insiders today because 33 00:01:42,228 --> 00:01:46,268 Speaker 3: it's that kind of day. Ian Rappacortz, I figure in 34 00:01:46,308 --> 00:01:48,628 Speaker 3: your mind you were dunking on a lot of people yesterday. 35 00:01:48,628 --> 00:01:49,708 Speaker 7: It was a busy Sunday. 36 00:01:49,748 --> 00:01:51,748 Speaker 3: There's a couple of wide receiver moves that we have 37 00:01:51,788 --> 00:01:53,788 Speaker 3: to check in on. But first we start with the 38 00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:55,348 Speaker 3: MVP from last year. 39 00:01:55,588 --> 00:01:59,508 Speaker 8: The reigning MVP, Josh Allen got paid big time by 40 00:01:59,548 --> 00:02:01,468 Speaker 8: the Buffalo Bills last night. 41 00:02:01,508 --> 00:02:03,548 Speaker 9: It was a wild, wild last night. 42 00:02:03,628 --> 00:02:06,068 Speaker 8: We were live on the Insiders for two hours just 43 00:02:06,108 --> 00:02:07,108 Speaker 8: to capture all of it. 44 00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:08,308 Speaker 5: But let's start right there. 45 00:02:08,388 --> 00:02:11,828 Speaker 8: Josh Allen for years has been I would say on 46 00:02:11,868 --> 00:02:15,068 Speaker 8: a contract. It probably didn't properly commentate the kind of 47 00:02:15,108 --> 00:02:16,988 Speaker 8: play that he has put on the field. 48 00:02:17,388 --> 00:02:19,868 Speaker 9: Now he has when he gets a six year, thirty three. 49 00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:22,908 Speaker 8: Million dollar deal fifty five million dollars per year, making 50 00:02:22,988 --> 00:02:26,148 Speaker 8: him the second highest paid quarterback in the NFL, behind 51 00:02:26,228 --> 00:02:27,068 Speaker 8: Dak Prescott. 52 00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:28,908 Speaker 9: Usually you see quarterbacks. 53 00:02:28,508 --> 00:02:30,588 Speaker 8: Get extensions, you just tacked on a couple of years 54 00:02:30,788 --> 00:02:33,388 Speaker 8: at money. This was more of a complete tear up, 55 00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:35,868 Speaker 8: just a new deal for Josh Allen gets a wopping 56 00:02:35,908 --> 00:02:40,308 Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty million dollars guaranteed locked in for 57 00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:42,708 Speaker 8: years to come in Buffalo. They've taken care of a 58 00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,868 Speaker 8: lot of their guys during this period. We also saw 59 00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:49,668 Speaker 8: a wide receiver trade. DK Metcalf according to me and 60 00:02:49,708 --> 00:02:53,628 Speaker 8: colleague Tom Pelisera is headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers for 61 00:02:53,668 --> 00:02:58,148 Speaker 8: the price of a twenty twenty five second round pick. 62 00:02:58,348 --> 00:03:00,188 Speaker 8: This has been going on for some days ever since 63 00:03:00,228 --> 00:03:03,908 Speaker 8: TK metscapra questioned a trade from the Seahawks. They send 64 00:03:03,948 --> 00:03:06,348 Speaker 8: him to pay Witsburg. We'll see who his quarterback ends 65 00:03:06,428 --> 00:03:09,028 Speaker 8: up being. But they finally land their big time, big 66 00:03:09,068 --> 00:03:11,548 Speaker 8: play receiver they have been seeking for quite some time. 67 00:03:11,828 --> 00:03:15,108 Speaker 8: He gets a new contract five years, one hundred and 68 00:03:15,308 --> 00:03:19,428 Speaker 8: fifty million dollars. Now becomes a thirty million per year receiver. 69 00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:23,908 Speaker 8: Huge deal for these Steelers there and then another receiver deal, 70 00:03:24,028 --> 00:03:25,188 Speaker 8: not a trade this time. 71 00:03:24,948 --> 00:03:26,348 Speaker 9: But a free agent signing. 72 00:03:26,668 --> 00:03:32,668 Speaker 8: Sources say Davonte Adams, the former Hackers, Great Greaiders, Great Jets, 73 00:03:32,868 --> 00:03:36,628 Speaker 8: great now lands with the Los Angeles Rams, gets a 74 00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:40,308 Speaker 8: two year, forty six million dollar contract, twenty six million 75 00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:41,628 Speaker 8: dollars guaranteed. 76 00:03:41,908 --> 00:03:43,348 Speaker 9: He had wanted to be on the West coast. 77 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,268 Speaker 8: I know everyone talked about him playing with Rogers, who 78 00:03:45,388 --> 00:03:46,148 Speaker 8: really wanted to be on. 79 00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:48,508 Speaker 9: The West coast and never been a free agent. Now 80 00:03:48,548 --> 00:03:50,468 Speaker 9: he is, and he chooses the rest. 81 00:03:50,828 --> 00:03:53,268 Speaker 3: Wow, it's hard to figure Devontae Adams never been a 82 00:03:53,308 --> 00:03:55,948 Speaker 3: free agent all those stops along the way. And to 83 00:03:55,988 --> 00:03:58,668 Speaker 3: your point, now with the future with Kukuanakua in the 84 00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:01,028 Speaker 3: wide receiver room for the Rams, they have Davonte Adams 85 00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:03,548 Speaker 3: as well. Ian Rappaford, Thank you so much, Peter. Let's 86 00:04:03,628 --> 00:04:06,108 Speaker 3: start with the first on that list that he started with, 87 00:04:06,188 --> 00:04:09,708 Speaker 3: at least in the wide receiver group, and DK metcalf 88 00:04:09,908 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 3: a lot of speculation as to where he was going 89 00:04:11,828 --> 00:04:13,268 Speaker 3: to go, how much he was going to be worth 90 00:04:13,348 --> 00:04:15,828 Speaker 3: to his future employer, And now we know it's Pittsburgh 91 00:04:15,828 --> 00:04:16,908 Speaker 3: and we know the deal terms. 92 00:04:17,308 --> 00:04:19,748 Speaker 6: Yeah, thirty million dollars, which is a lot of money 93 00:04:19,788 --> 00:04:22,708 Speaker 6: for DK Metcalf to be making congratulations to him. He 94 00:04:22,748 --> 00:04:25,068 Speaker 6: gets traded and he goes to a place that's perennially 95 00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:28,588 Speaker 6: in the playoffs. I am fascinated at two questions. One, 96 00:04:28,948 --> 00:04:30,548 Speaker 6: who is the quarterback. 97 00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:30,908 Speaker 5: Throwing him the ball? 98 00:04:30,948 --> 00:04:34,028 Speaker 6: We should find that out hopefully later today or tomorrow. 99 00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:38,188 Speaker 6: And two is George Pickens in that wide receivers room 100 00:04:38,228 --> 00:04:41,508 Speaker 6: as well? Because those are two fiery personalities and right 101 00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:44,828 Speaker 6: now they are at Arthur Smith and Zach Aziani. Who's 102 00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:47,708 Speaker 6: the wide receivers coach might be having to massage some 103 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:49,868 Speaker 6: egos and making sure that these guys. 104 00:04:49,628 --> 00:04:53,628 Speaker 5: Both get the ball? But gosh, who is the quarterback? 105 00:04:53,628 --> 00:04:55,588 Speaker 6: And I go through it with Pittsburgh right now, because 106 00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:58,108 Speaker 6: I said that was the most burning question in my 107 00:04:58,188 --> 00:05:00,428 Speaker 6: mind last week, what we were talking about heading into 108 00:05:00,468 --> 00:05:02,868 Speaker 6: the offseason, which team are you most fascinating? I said, 109 00:05:03,188 --> 00:05:05,348 Speaker 6: The Steelers have been trying to get a wide receiver 110 00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:08,268 Speaker 6: won for many years. They went after Brandon Ayuk, they 111 00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:10,108 Speaker 6: couldn't get them. They went after others in the last 112 00:05:10,108 --> 00:05:12,148 Speaker 6: couple of years, they couldn't get them. They finally get 113 00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:16,228 Speaker 6: DK Metcalf and the money. Look the salary cap. It 114 00:05:16,308 --> 00:05:18,628 Speaker 6: was increased by a X amount of dollars. 115 00:05:18,788 --> 00:05:19,268 Speaker 10: The money is. 116 00:05:19,228 --> 00:05:20,468 Speaker 11: Almost funny money at this point. 117 00:05:20,508 --> 00:05:23,708 Speaker 6: I can't compare it to previous years because it's gone 118 00:05:23,788 --> 00:05:26,028 Speaker 6: up so much in the last couple of years, where 119 00:05:26,588 --> 00:05:28,628 Speaker 6: this might just be the going rate for a star 120 00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:32,708 Speaker 6: wide receiver. And once we see what Jamar Chase gets, it'll. 121 00:05:32,548 --> 00:05:34,668 Speaker 5: Blow this out of the water. And what we see 122 00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:34,828 Speaker 5: at T. 123 00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:37,548 Speaker 11: Higgins gets by blow this out of the water. 124 00:05:37,628 --> 00:05:40,468 Speaker 6: So I am fascinated to see because right now the 125 00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:41,548 Speaker 6: way I see the dominoes. 126 00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:43,948 Speaker 11: You've heard it, and I said it last week or 127 00:05:43,988 --> 00:05:44,668 Speaker 11: two weeks ago. 128 00:05:44,508 --> 00:05:48,868 Speaker 6: From the combine. Justin Fields is who Pittsburgh wants. However, 129 00:05:48,988 --> 00:05:51,508 Speaker 6: Justin Field's going to have a market. So if Justin 130 00:05:51,588 --> 00:05:55,668 Speaker 6: Fields does not come back to Pittsburgh, is Pittsburgh a 131 00:05:55,708 --> 00:05:57,348 Speaker 6: sneaky place for Sam Donald? 132 00:05:57,428 --> 00:05:58,988 Speaker 11: And is that Sam Donald throwing. 133 00:05:58,868 --> 00:06:01,228 Speaker 6: DK metcalf passes And then I'll give you a third 134 00:06:01,308 --> 00:06:03,148 Speaker 6: name and the ring almost like the Royal Rumble coming 135 00:06:03,188 --> 00:06:07,068 Speaker 6: in here Rogers throwing a DK metcalf next year Like 136 00:06:07,228 --> 00:06:09,148 Speaker 6: that is why as much as we took care of 137 00:06:09,188 --> 00:06:12,628 Speaker 6: business over the weekend, there are still so many unanswered questions, 138 00:06:12,948 --> 00:06:15,908 Speaker 6: and we have Aaron Rodgers throwing the George Pickens and 139 00:06:15,988 --> 00:06:18,708 Speaker 6: DK Metcalf with Mike Tomlin on the sideline, like, sign 140 00:06:18,748 --> 00:06:21,188 Speaker 6: me up. That's a really interesting team. A lot of 141 00:06:21,228 --> 00:06:24,588 Speaker 6: personalities to navigate there, and a lot of egos to massage. 142 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:26,388 Speaker 6: But DK Metcalf's is Steeler. I just don't know who'ston 143 00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:27,108 Speaker 6: on the ball yet. 144 00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:29,028 Speaker 12: But is Aaron Rodgers going to enter the real rumble 145 00:06:29,068 --> 00:06:30,468 Speaker 12: like the bushwhacker Peters right out right? 146 00:06:30,468 --> 00:06:32,548 Speaker 10: If? Let's let's hope not. We already did that with 147 00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:34,468 Speaker 10: the Jets. We don't want to go through that. 148 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,668 Speaker 12: First of all, demonte Adams to the Rams. I thought 149 00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:38,508 Speaker 12: I could not love the Rams more than I already did, 150 00:06:38,508 --> 00:06:40,468 Speaker 12: but I already do. I might just go crazy and 151 00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:42,148 Speaker 12: just say I'm gonna pick the Rams Eagles in the 152 00:06:42,148 --> 00:06:42,868 Speaker 12: title game this year. 153 00:06:42,908 --> 00:06:44,468 Speaker 10: I just might do it now. I don't care. 154 00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:46,508 Speaker 12: I love Devonte there and love Luking Bay, but don't 155 00:06:46,588 --> 00:06:48,628 Speaker 12: run the DeVante video. No no, no, no no, because I want 156 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:50,908 Speaker 12: to focus on Pickens. Peter brought it up, and I 157 00:06:51,348 --> 00:06:53,188 Speaker 12: like this name, Zach Azani. 158 00:06:53,628 --> 00:06:54,468 Speaker 10: This is the wide receiver. 159 00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:57,788 Speaker 12: Coach prayers up Zach and coach him up and burn 160 00:06:57,868 --> 00:06:59,668 Speaker 12: some sage or burn whatever the hell you have to 161 00:06:59,668 --> 00:07:03,148 Speaker 12: do to stay calm. Because we have George Pickens and 162 00:07:03,228 --> 00:07:06,148 Speaker 12: DK Metcalf in this room playing the same position. Let's 163 00:07:06,188 --> 00:07:08,508 Speaker 12: roll some of the videotape of George Pickens, who should 164 00:07:08,548 --> 00:07:11,068 Speaker 12: we say, is an emotional player? Here go all right, 165 00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:14,388 Speaker 12: So there's some great highlights of him making amazing acrobatic catches, 166 00:07:14,388 --> 00:07:15,148 Speaker 12: and we've shown those. 167 00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:16,588 Speaker 10: For years, and other shows could show them. 168 00:07:16,948 --> 00:07:19,268 Speaker 12: This player that we're seeing here now, guys, has just 169 00:07:19,308 --> 00:07:21,988 Speaker 12: been told that now you are not the number one 170 00:07:22,028 --> 00:07:22,628 Speaker 12: wide receiver. 171 00:07:22,908 --> 00:07:25,508 Speaker 10: You're this. I mean, come on the other the wide 172 00:07:25,548 --> 00:07:26,028 Speaker 10: receiver is. 173 00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:28,588 Speaker 12: Getting massive money on the other side of them. All 174 00:07:28,628 --> 00:07:32,028 Speaker 12: different clips, folks, not one different clips in different years. 175 00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:35,708 Speaker 12: Mike Tomlin one set of George Pickens. I'd rather say 176 00:07:35,908 --> 00:07:39,188 Speaker 12: whoa than sick them, which means I'd rather them have 177 00:07:39,268 --> 00:07:41,028 Speaker 12: the emotion. But he said that about Pickens in twenty 178 00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:44,388 Speaker 12: twenty two. So now DK comes in and it's like, 179 00:07:44,828 --> 00:07:46,988 Speaker 12: not only that George Pickens, Blaze and Gentlemens in the 180 00:07:47,028 --> 00:07:49,268 Speaker 12: last year was contract, which means he's going to be 181 00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:52,668 Speaker 12: playing for big money and needs numbers and touchdowns and receptions, 182 00:07:52,828 --> 00:07:55,388 Speaker 12: and I'll add to the quarterback point of this. You're 183 00:07:55,428 --> 00:07:58,188 Speaker 12: telling me that you brought in DK was great. And Pickens, 184 00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:02,108 Speaker 12: who's incredible, the person that is running this offense and 185 00:08:02,228 --> 00:08:06,628 Speaker 12: feeding them and keeping them happy. As Fields, guys, we've 186 00:08:06,628 --> 00:08:07,788 Speaker 12: seen a lot of Justin Fields. 187 00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:08,868 Speaker 10: He has a lot of strengths. 188 00:08:09,068 --> 00:08:11,348 Speaker 12: I don't think throwing the ball all over the field 189 00:08:11,388 --> 00:08:14,068 Speaker 12: to a wide receiver led offense post Naji Harris is 190 00:08:14,108 --> 00:08:15,108 Speaker 12: one of those strengths. 191 00:08:15,188 --> 00:08:16,228 Speaker 10: I don't see it at all. 192 00:08:16,428 --> 00:08:18,468 Speaker 12: And if it's Justin Fields is the quarterback, You're gonna 193 00:08:18,468 --> 00:08:19,588 Speaker 12: see a lot more clips like that. 194 00:08:19,628 --> 00:08:21,468 Speaker 10: And we didn't even show you the DK one. 195 00:08:21,708 --> 00:08:24,508 Speaker 12: Could it be that the Steelers are going after Darnold 196 00:08:24,508 --> 00:08:26,788 Speaker 12: and are trying to set up a Vikings adjacent thing 197 00:08:27,148 --> 00:08:29,748 Speaker 12: like Addison and Jefferson and like Sam Donald, you can't 198 00:08:29,748 --> 00:08:32,068 Speaker 12: mess this up. Look at these great wide receivers. It 199 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:35,068 Speaker 12: is very hard to imagine that you bring in DK 200 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:38,588 Speaker 12: to play with the Pickens and Friarmuth and say, Justin 201 00:08:38,668 --> 00:08:41,388 Speaker 12: Fields drive this car. That is not him, that is 202 00:08:41,428 --> 00:08:44,188 Speaker 12: not the Steelers. I don't see it. Coach him up, Mike, 203 00:08:44,228 --> 00:08:47,308 Speaker 12: and one more time, zach Azani with two z's and 204 00:08:47,348 --> 00:08:48,588 Speaker 12: two ends and two. 205 00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:50,228 Speaker 10: Guys in the room that, oh my god, you better 206 00:08:50,228 --> 00:08:50,508 Speaker 10: get these. 207 00:08:51,108 --> 00:08:53,428 Speaker 6: Zach runs the wide receivers drills of the combine. 208 00:08:53,468 --> 00:08:55,668 Speaker 5: So he's on. He's seen them all. 209 00:08:55,668 --> 00:08:56,748 Speaker 10: Come, I love you, Zach. 210 00:08:56,868 --> 00:08:59,068 Speaker 5: Here's with the Jets before this, HEA's with the Bears. 211 00:08:59,148 --> 00:09:02,508 Speaker 6: And our great producer Aman tells me he actually coached 212 00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:04,028 Speaker 6: Antonio Brown in college. 213 00:09:04,468 --> 00:09:09,748 Speaker 4: You've plenty of experience, got Brock, plenty of experience for Zach. 214 00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:12,388 Speaker 4: Whatever higher power he believes it, may he be shrouded 215 00:09:12,428 --> 00:09:16,428 Speaker 4: in love and patience because he will need enough of it. Look, 216 00:09:16,668 --> 00:09:19,148 Speaker 4: if there's an opportunity to get Dk Metcalf on your team, 217 00:09:19,148 --> 00:09:21,228 Speaker 4: you get DK Metcalf on your team. It's that simple. 218 00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:23,988 Speaker 4: But him and George Pickens have the same skill set. 219 00:09:24,028 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 4: So you look at Pittsburgh's offense last year and what 220 00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:28,348 Speaker 4: they were diluted to by the end of the year. 221 00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:31,228 Speaker 4: Run the ball, run the ball, throw up a fade 222 00:09:31,228 --> 00:09:32,828 Speaker 4: along the sideline and see what happens. 223 00:09:33,068 --> 00:09:35,188 Speaker 7: This doesn't really change that both. 224 00:09:34,988 --> 00:09:38,468 Speaker 4: Pickens and Metcalf are at their best straight line guys 225 00:09:38,508 --> 00:09:41,868 Speaker 4: with the ball high in the air. So yeah, this 226 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:45,788 Speaker 4: offense may be better, a better version of they were 227 00:09:45,908 --> 00:09:48,548 Speaker 4: last year, but they're not different. And if we saw 228 00:09:48,628 --> 00:09:51,308 Speaker 4: anything from Pittsburgh last year, they ran into a brick 229 00:09:51,348 --> 00:09:54,268 Speaker 4: wall because they eventually became easy to figure out, they 230 00:09:54,308 --> 00:09:55,748 Speaker 4: became predictable. 231 00:09:55,908 --> 00:09:58,788 Speaker 7: I want to buy in, but I can't until I see. 232 00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:01,908 Speaker 4: And also to the quarterback point, you're not just finding 233 00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:04,508 Speaker 4: a quarterback now, you're finding a quarterback who needs to 234 00:10:04,508 --> 00:10:06,868 Speaker 4: be able to deal with personalities. Not that there's a 235 00:10:06,948 --> 00:10:09,908 Speaker 4: ton of options as far as veteran quarterbacks go right now, 236 00:10:09,908 --> 00:10:11,428 Speaker 4: but now you're asking them to put a lot on 237 00:10:11,468 --> 00:10:14,228 Speaker 4: their plate. Hey, our offense was in the rut last year. 238 00:10:14,508 --> 00:10:17,148 Speaker 4: And also you need to deal with two major personalities 239 00:10:17,148 --> 00:10:18,908 Speaker 4: that are liable to get tossed out of a game 240 00:10:19,188 --> 00:10:20,868 Speaker 4: or tossed out of practice at. 241 00:10:20,668 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 7: A moment's notice. 242 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:24,668 Speaker 4: That is a big ask for whoever you bring in. 243 00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:26,668 Speaker 7: This offense is not going to look different. 244 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:29,148 Speaker 4: Maybe the quarterback situation, if they throw a curveball and 245 00:10:29,188 --> 00:10:31,588 Speaker 4: find someone in there that we're not thinking about. Okay, 246 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:33,588 Speaker 4: But if you're Arthur Smith, you're sitting there thinking what 247 00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:35,508 Speaker 4: am I supposed to do with this? I can just 248 00:10:35,628 --> 00:10:37,788 Speaker 4: do more of the same, and that was not good 249 00:10:37,868 --> 00:10:38,508 Speaker 4: enough a year ago. 250 00:10:38,588 --> 00:10:40,708 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a free agent running back room that 251 00:10:40,748 --> 00:10:43,908 Speaker 3: they have to address as well. But the Rogers Darnold 252 00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:47,508 Speaker 3: situation and if they go to Pittsburgh, we will watch 253 00:10:47,548 --> 00:10:50,188 Speaker 3: that all morning long. Peter, Let's go back to a 254 00:10:50,268 --> 00:10:52,068 Speaker 3: name that was floated out there, and Kyle said, get 255 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:53,468 Speaker 3: that name off the screen. We're not ready to talk 256 00:10:53,508 --> 00:10:56,148 Speaker 3: about him yet. It's DeVante Adams and the fact that 257 00:10:56,348 --> 00:10:58,628 Speaker 3: in his desire to be back on the West Coast 258 00:10:59,028 --> 00:11:02,788 Speaker 3: and play for a championship caliber team, it seems like 259 00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:04,228 Speaker 3: he found that in the La Rams. 260 00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:04,988 Speaker 10: Yeah. 261 00:11:05,068 --> 00:11:06,588 Speaker 6: Well, I tweeted this out last night and I mean 262 00:11:06,628 --> 00:11:09,148 Speaker 6: it's Devanta Adams is currently in Japan. He's in Japan. 263 00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:11,988 Speaker 6: He's traveling in the Far East right now. So while 264 00:11:12,028 --> 00:11:15,428 Speaker 6: this was all going on, Sean McVay was facetiming and 265 00:11:15,468 --> 00:11:18,788 Speaker 6: calling him while he was in Japan sight seeing and 266 00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 6: going to Japan for the first time. So, Davante a 267 00:11:21,468 --> 00:11:23,548 Speaker 6: free agent because of the way the Jets let this 268 00:11:23,628 --> 00:11:25,868 Speaker 6: thing go and they said, okay, you're out, and. 269 00:11:25,828 --> 00:11:27,908 Speaker 11: That means he could actually sign before. 270 00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:30,828 Speaker 6: The free agency wave and McVeigh was in. 271 00:11:30,828 --> 00:11:33,308 Speaker 11: Full recruitment mode. If you haven't seen it, it's something 272 00:11:33,308 --> 00:11:33,908 Speaker 11: to behold. 273 00:11:34,268 --> 00:11:36,508 Speaker 5: He's done it before in his career and. 274 00:11:36,468 --> 00:11:39,228 Speaker 6: He did it when he activates like he's like Nick 275 00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:43,628 Speaker 6: Saban and Kirby Smart and you name it Urban Meyer. 276 00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:46,788 Speaker 6: When the Ohio State days all welled into one, Belichick, 277 00:11:46,988 --> 00:11:48,228 Speaker 6: Bill Belichick not. 278 00:11:50,028 --> 00:11:50,788 Speaker 7: This is it. 279 00:11:50,908 --> 00:11:55,148 Speaker 6: So you know, Adams, this is another stop on the tour. 280 00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:58,708 Speaker 6: But for the Rams, you know, Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakoor, 281 00:11:58,828 --> 00:12:00,868 Speaker 6: but coming to kind of be the same type of 282 00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:04,268 Speaker 6: wide receiver and that they're these big bodied, strong handed 283 00:12:04,268 --> 00:12:06,628 Speaker 6: like Devontage's a totally different one. They signed to to 284 00:12:06,828 --> 00:12:08,988 Speaker 6: at Well for a one year, ten million dollars deal. 285 00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:10,708 Speaker 6: If you roll their eyes, it's like you want to 286 00:12:11,148 --> 00:12:12,828 Speaker 6: just wait to see the numbers that are thrown out 287 00:12:12,908 --> 00:12:14,788 Speaker 6: the next couple of days. To to at Well at 288 00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:16,628 Speaker 6: ten million dollars is not gonna seem like it's gonna 289 00:12:16,628 --> 00:12:19,388 Speaker 6: blow your hair back because the salary cap went crazy 290 00:12:19,428 --> 00:12:20,588 Speaker 6: this last couple of weeks. 291 00:12:20,668 --> 00:12:21,788 Speaker 11: So they have money to spend. 292 00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:25,028 Speaker 6: So they have almost a starting five like a basketball team, 293 00:12:25,068 --> 00:12:26,828 Speaker 6: and they have different heights and different roles. And you 294 00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:28,788 Speaker 6: got your point guard in to two, and then you 295 00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:30,148 Speaker 6: got your long range. 296 00:12:29,868 --> 00:12:30,828 Speaker 10: Guy in Davonte, and then. 297 00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:33,148 Speaker 6: You got your underneath guy and Tukah's like they've got 298 00:12:33,228 --> 00:12:35,468 Speaker 6: different body types, different wide receiver skills. 299 00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:36,628 Speaker 5: And McVeigh was. 300 00:12:36,908 --> 00:12:39,468 Speaker 6: Full on recruiting a man in Japan all week and 301 00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:42,308 Speaker 6: he got his guys. So pretty cool story about Sometimes 302 00:12:42,308 --> 00:12:44,228 Speaker 6: it's a little different than just talking the GM talking 303 00:12:44,228 --> 00:12:46,068 Speaker 6: to the agent. Sometimes the head coach going over to 304 00:12:46,108 --> 00:12:46,628 Speaker 6: the Far East. 305 00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:50,708 Speaker 12: I need the tapes of those calls, hey, Devonte Kunitchua 306 00:12:51,508 --> 00:12:55,788 Speaker 12: Domo Arigato received the Yeah, sorry, man, I mean we 307 00:12:55,828 --> 00:12:57,268 Speaker 12: need to get mcveigh's tape talking. 308 00:12:57,388 --> 00:12:58,868 Speaker 5: Did you go out one of them cool subways? 309 00:12:58,868 --> 00:12:59,788 Speaker 10: They're super clean. 310 00:12:59,828 --> 00:13:00,948 Speaker 5: I think it's called a fast train. 311 00:13:01,068 --> 00:13:04,308 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's an incredibly efficient to urban center there. We like, 312 00:13:04,388 --> 00:13:06,388 Speaker 12: I knew the same thing here at so By Stadium. 313 00:13:06,428 --> 00:13:07,628 Speaker 10: I would love to see that. 314 00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:11,148 Speaker 12: I think DeVante is fascinating because his whole career, all right, 315 00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:13,948 Speaker 12: so he plays with Rogers, loves Rogers. Then there's this 316 00:13:13,988 --> 00:13:15,668 Speaker 12: whole thing where he's like, I want to go to 317 00:13:15,708 --> 00:13:17,868 Speaker 12: the Raiders to play with my college buddy, Derek Carr. 318 00:13:17,868 --> 00:13:20,428 Speaker 12: Derek Carr, Derek Car gets benched and Dante basically throws 319 00:13:20,468 --> 00:13:22,868 Speaker 12: a fit so he can play with Rogers. And now 320 00:13:22,988 --> 00:13:25,068 Speaker 12: is the first time he really hasn't handpicked an old 321 00:13:25,108 --> 00:13:27,708 Speaker 12: buddy who he has history with. Stafford obviously up to 322 00:13:27,748 --> 00:13:29,268 Speaker 12: the task and everything. But I want to see what 323 00:13:29,348 --> 00:13:32,988 Speaker 12: this version of going on mid thirties DeVante Adams new 324 00:13:33,068 --> 00:13:33,788 Speaker 12: quarterback is. 325 00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:35,148 Speaker 10: I think it's all positive, you know. 326 00:13:35,228 --> 00:13:37,588 Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm always super super polyann when it comes 327 00:13:37,628 --> 00:13:39,708 Speaker 12: to the Rams, and they're almost always in the playoffs. 328 00:13:39,788 --> 00:13:41,148 Speaker 10: I like this move. I like this one. 329 00:13:41,268 --> 00:13:42,988 Speaker 12: I cried for Cooper Cup a little bit like he 330 00:13:43,068 --> 00:13:44,988 Speaker 12: going and we'll see where he lands. But I don't 331 00:13:44,988 --> 00:13:46,908 Speaker 12: see any reason why Devonte won't be really good there 332 00:13:46,908 --> 00:13:47,428 Speaker 12: with Stafford. 333 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,508 Speaker 4: Well, let me establish this right now. I consider you 334 00:13:50,548 --> 00:13:52,708 Speaker 4: guys friends. If I go to Japan, do not FaceTime 335 00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:56,308 Speaker 4: me for any reason. Never FaceTime me if it's. 336 00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:57,428 Speaker 5: Forty six million dollars. 337 00:13:57,428 --> 00:13:59,908 Speaker 7: I think, come on, I'm in Japan. 338 00:14:00,148 --> 00:14:03,188 Speaker 4: The Far East is about peace, It's about removing all 339 00:14:03,228 --> 00:14:06,108 Speaker 4: of your possessions. Come on, get with the thinking. But 340 00:14:06,308 --> 00:14:08,388 Speaker 4: I will say this excites me and Peter, you bring 341 00:14:08,468 --> 00:14:11,028 Speaker 4: up how yeah, Davante and pook are kind of the 342 00:14:11,028 --> 00:14:14,108 Speaker 4: same wide receiver. Juxtaposed that with Pittsburgh situation. The difference 343 00:14:14,188 --> 00:14:16,588 Speaker 4: is Pooka and Devonte can run any route. They can 344 00:14:16,628 --> 00:14:19,508 Speaker 4: make up routes They're creating new routes as we speak. 345 00:14:19,348 --> 00:14:20,828 Speaker 7: And the Rams are hilarious. 346 00:14:20,828 --> 00:14:20,988 Speaker 10: To me. 347 00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,428 Speaker 7: They're the funniest team in the NFL. 348 00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:26,068 Speaker 4: After every year, it's okay, this was fun a lot lasted. 349 00:14:26,108 --> 00:14:28,588 Speaker 4: We need to rebuild, lick our wounds, and then by 350 00:14:28,628 --> 00:14:31,348 Speaker 4: OTAs it's I think we want to win another Super Bowl. 351 00:14:31,388 --> 00:14:33,388 Speaker 4: They are all in there, always all in. I don't 352 00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:35,988 Speaker 4: know why they do this every year. Now with Davante Adams, 353 00:14:36,028 --> 00:14:37,908 Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm excited to see him in this wide 354 00:14:37,908 --> 00:14:40,548 Speaker 4: receiver two role that is Pooka's wide receiver room. As 355 00:14:40,548 --> 00:14:42,828 Speaker 4: far as I'm concerned that rapport with Stafford is there, however, 356 00:14:42,828 --> 00:14:46,028 Speaker 4: Stafford and Davante will be right his reign immediately, and 357 00:14:46,068 --> 00:14:49,588 Speaker 4: I'm excited. As a defense, you are panicking. As a safety, 358 00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:51,828 Speaker 4: you are panicking. I do not know what route he 359 00:14:51,908 --> 00:14:54,348 Speaker 4: is running. I do not know what route he is running. 360 00:14:54,388 --> 00:14:57,028 Speaker 4: And both of them can line up anywhere. And this 361 00:14:57,108 --> 00:14:59,468 Speaker 4: makes it easier for me decades from now when I'm 362 00:14:59,548 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 4: arguing with my future kids about how Davante Adams was 363 00:15:03,668 --> 00:15:06,628 Speaker 4: one of the mo influential wide receivers in the NFL 364 00:15:06,908 --> 00:15:08,348 Speaker 4: and if he can get a Super Bowl ring at 365 00:15:08,348 --> 00:15:11,948 Speaker 4: the La Rams. That makes my argument so much firmer. 366 00:15:11,988 --> 00:15:15,348 Speaker 4: There is route running before DeVante Adams and there is 367 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:19,148 Speaker 4: route running after DeVante Adams. There is a palpable difference 368 00:15:19,428 --> 00:15:22,628 Speaker 4: of his impact as a wide receiver and his legacy 369 00:15:22,668 --> 00:15:24,748 Speaker 4: as a wide receiver. I'm excited to see him embrace 370 00:15:24,788 --> 00:15:27,348 Speaker 4: this role. And Matt Stafford is somewhere smiling. Don't face 371 00:15:27,388 --> 00:15:28,308 Speaker 4: Timmy when I'm in Japan. 372 00:15:28,348 --> 00:15:28,788 Speaker 10: We will not. 373 00:15:28,948 --> 00:15:31,468 Speaker 3: And also, that's a first time we know you're really, 374 00:15:31,548 --> 00:15:33,348 Speaker 3: really in the love of the game when you are 375 00:15:33,468 --> 00:15:36,308 Speaker 3: already crafting arguments to me, to your future children. We 376 00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:38,548 Speaker 3: don't even have the kids in the rockery, and you 377 00:15:38,588 --> 00:15:40,548 Speaker 3: are already saying this is what I will argue with 378 00:15:40,628 --> 00:15:41,068 Speaker 3: them about. 379 00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:41,868 Speaker 2: It's perfect. 380 00:15:42,148 --> 00:15:44,428 Speaker 3: It's what free agency frenzy is all about. Kyle, you 381 00:15:44,428 --> 00:15:45,828 Speaker 3: said we were going to take this to a ten? 382 00:15:45,948 --> 00:15:48,228 Speaker 3: Are we at a ten with free agency frenzy already? 383 00:15:48,788 --> 00:15:50,748 Speaker 12: Peter, I predicted the Super Bowl is going to be 384 00:15:50,748 --> 00:15:53,148 Speaker 12: a terrible game. We would I also predicted the friends 385 00:15:53,148 --> 00:15:54,268 Speaker 12: he is going to be at a ten. I don't 386 00:15:54,268 --> 00:15:57,308 Speaker 12: care what happened over the weekend. There's mortar cool just beginning. 387 00:15:57,468 --> 00:16:00,148 Speaker 5: It's a quarterbacks league, let's go. 388 00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:03,468 Speaker 3: Where are guys like Chris Godwin, Sam Darnold. We'rely all 389 00:16:03,468 --> 00:16:05,388 Speaker 3: going to land because they with their current teams or 390 00:16:05,428 --> 00:16:08,788 Speaker 3: find new homes in twenty twenty five Free Agency Frenzy. 391 00:16:08,908 --> 00:16:12,268 Speaker 3: It begins eight hours live coverage today at ten am Eastern. 392 00:16:12,468 --> 00:16:14,308 Speaker 3: I mean, it's happening right now on NFL Network and 393 00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:16,988 Speaker 3: you can stream it on NFL Plus. But still coming 394 00:16:17,068 --> 00:16:19,228 Speaker 3: up on our show, guys, Miles Garrett, why is he 395 00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:20,988 Speaker 3: all of a sudden the seventh news item that we 396 00:16:21,028 --> 00:16:23,148 Speaker 3: have to talk about today. When we left the show 397 00:16:23,228 --> 00:16:25,748 Speaker 3: on Friday, we were saying the Browns are going to 398 00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:28,388 Speaker 3: be able to trade him for the king's ransom. Nope, 399 00:16:28,428 --> 00:16:31,028 Speaker 3: he got a king's ransom, but it's from Cleveland. What 400 00:16:31,068 --> 00:16:34,308 Speaker 3: does this mean for the Browns moving forward? Peter Kyle, 401 00:16:34,388 --> 00:16:36,028 Speaker 3: We got takes and we got Rock Green at the. 402 00:16:35,988 --> 00:16:39,868 Speaker 12: Table, all right, so we've also got answers. Gino Smith 403 00:16:39,908 --> 00:16:42,308 Speaker 12: is heading to the Raiders. That's interesting. How does this 404 00:16:42,388 --> 00:16:45,588 Speaker 12: affect the quarterback market? Who's the Steelers quarterback, who's the 405 00:16:45,628 --> 00:16:46,508 Speaker 12: Giants quarterback? 406 00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:49,668 Speaker 10: Who's the Vikings quarterback? Who is your quarterback? What is 407 00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:52,028 Speaker 10: your football television show? You're watching it right. 408 00:16:51,948 --> 00:16:55,068 Speaker 12: Now Good morning for old go Anywhere Frenzy time. 409 00:17:05,668 --> 00:17:07,308 Speaker 2: Good Morning football. 410 00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:12,748 Speaker 3: We're back on GMFB. We were wondering what direction Pete 411 00:17:12,748 --> 00:17:13,988 Speaker 3: Carroll was going to go in as a new head 412 00:17:14,028 --> 00:17:16,428 Speaker 3: coach to the Las Vegas Raiders. Ian Rappaport get in here, 413 00:17:16,428 --> 00:17:19,068 Speaker 3: because the Raiders now know who their starting quarterback will be, 414 00:17:19,108 --> 00:17:21,748 Speaker 3: and it's a guy that's familiar to Pete Carroll from 415 00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:23,548 Speaker 3: a little just a little bit farther west and up north. 416 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:26,188 Speaker 8: That's right, as the Las Vegas Raiders head into free 417 00:17:26,188 --> 00:17:28,708 Speaker 8: agency with a new coach and a new general manager, 418 00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:31,668 Speaker 8: they at least know who their quarterback is. Before all 419 00:17:31,708 --> 00:17:34,828 Speaker 8: this band has started late on Friday or whenever that was, 420 00:17:34,828 --> 00:17:35,108 Speaker 8: I don't know. 421 00:17:35,148 --> 00:17:36,308 Speaker 9: It seems like a million years ago. 422 00:17:36,428 --> 00:17:39,988 Speaker 8: Geno Smith was traded from the Seahawks to the Las 423 00:17:40,108 --> 00:17:43,188 Speaker 8: Vegas Raiders for the price of a third round pick. 424 00:17:43,428 --> 00:17:47,148 Speaker 8: So Gino goes from Seattle where wanted a contract extension. 425 00:17:47,388 --> 00:17:49,188 Speaker 8: Wasn't able to agree to terms with the team. I 426 00:17:49,228 --> 00:17:51,508 Speaker 8: know they had some discussions, really just wasn't able to 427 00:17:51,508 --> 00:17:52,228 Speaker 8: get on the same page. 428 00:17:52,268 --> 00:17:53,428 Speaker 9: Really wasn't able to get there. 429 00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:55,788 Speaker 8: He now goes to the Las Vegas Rangers to fill 430 00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:58,268 Speaker 8: a huge hole there. The Raiders of course hold the 431 00:17:58,348 --> 00:17:59,828 Speaker 8: number seven overall pick. 432 00:17:59,908 --> 00:18:01,788 Speaker 9: We'll see if they end up taking a quarterback, but 433 00:18:02,228 --> 00:18:02,948 Speaker 9: Geno Smith. 434 00:18:03,068 --> 00:18:06,908 Speaker 8: The Genosmith trade would makes that less likely, maybe far 435 00:18:07,028 --> 00:18:07,468 Speaker 8: less likely. 436 00:18:07,508 --> 00:18:09,828 Speaker 9: It would also expect at some point they. 437 00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:12,948 Speaker 8: Would try to lock up Gino Smith on a contract extension. 438 00:18:13,388 --> 00:18:15,308 Speaker 8: All of that to come, but the main thing now, 439 00:18:15,468 --> 00:18:18,588 Speaker 8: the Raiders finally now do have a quarterback and the 440 00:18:18,588 --> 00:18:19,308 Speaker 8: Seahawks need one. 441 00:18:19,428 --> 00:18:21,548 Speaker 3: All right, and thank you so much. The Seahawks certainly 442 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 3: deserve their own conversation and free agency frenzy. They have 443 00:18:24,548 --> 00:18:27,548 Speaker 3: moved on from Star wide receivers their quarterback. They are 444 00:18:27,588 --> 00:18:30,388 Speaker 3: going with a young core Peter. But let's focus on 445 00:18:30,428 --> 00:18:34,388 Speaker 3: the departed quarterback in Seattle and that position specifically. There 446 00:18:34,508 --> 00:18:37,108 Speaker 3: must be a quarterback situation, whether it be the absence 447 00:18:37,148 --> 00:18:39,308 Speaker 3: of one in Seattle or anywhere else in the league, 448 00:18:39,348 --> 00:18:41,868 Speaker 3: that has your attention. Right now, Where is it, Peter. 449 00:18:42,108 --> 00:18:44,268 Speaker 5: New York Giants our backyard right here. 450 00:18:44,388 --> 00:18:48,068 Speaker 6: The Giants, of course, did this Sakuon Barkley move last year, 451 00:18:48,188 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 6: not signing him back, saying hey, go quiet, we're gonna 452 00:18:50,948 --> 00:18:53,228 Speaker 6: save our money, We're gonna build an offensive line. 453 00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:54,868 Speaker 11: And then the quarterback. 454 00:18:54,428 --> 00:18:57,068 Speaker 6: Play was atrocious last year. There is a giant void 455 00:18:57,108 --> 00:18:59,668 Speaker 6: of that position in there is no sure thing. Look, 456 00:18:59,828 --> 00:19:01,868 Speaker 6: I have reported this, I said at the combine, I 457 00:19:01,868 --> 00:19:02,668 Speaker 6: will double down. 458 00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:04,348 Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers is deaf. 459 00:19:04,388 --> 00:19:07,868 Speaker 6: Definitely a possibility, as silly as that sounds, oxymoron wise, 460 00:19:07,948 --> 00:19:11,148 Speaker 6: definitely a possibility in New York. That is a guy 461 00:19:11,668 --> 00:19:13,708 Speaker 6: that they have zeroed in on in a lot of ways. 462 00:19:14,108 --> 00:19:17,108 Speaker 6: But Rodgers's gonna have options. Rogers's gonna have options in 463 00:19:17,148 --> 00:19:18,988 Speaker 6: that he can wait his time out, see what place 464 00:19:19,108 --> 00:19:22,228 Speaker 6: is filled, what carousel seat has still opened? And I 465 00:19:22,268 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 6: do think Pittsburgh's a real possibility. If the Giants don't 466 00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:27,988 Speaker 6: bring in Rogers, Well, you look at the draft and 467 00:19:28,028 --> 00:19:28,948 Speaker 6: they have the third pick. 468 00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:32,628 Speaker 11: So can't really just snap your fingers and say I'm 469 00:19:32,628 --> 00:19:34,868 Speaker 11: gonna get cam Ward. He might be gone. And you 470 00:19:34,908 --> 00:19:36,468 Speaker 11: can't snap your fingers and say we're gonna. 471 00:19:36,268 --> 00:19:38,628 Speaker 6: Get schandor he might be gone. So you have the 472 00:19:38,668 --> 00:19:41,268 Speaker 6: third pick, which puts the Giants kind. 473 00:19:41,108 --> 00:19:42,508 Speaker 11: Of in this wait and see mode. 474 00:19:42,708 --> 00:19:44,668 Speaker 5: Are they interested in Aaron Rodgers? 475 00:19:44,828 --> 00:19:45,108 Speaker 9: Yes? 476 00:19:45,628 --> 00:19:46,828 Speaker 5: Are they should have Darnald? 477 00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:49,468 Speaker 11: I don't think I see that, and I haven't heard that. 478 00:19:49,628 --> 00:19:51,828 Speaker 6: And it's more because well we went down the road 479 00:19:51,868 --> 00:19:54,988 Speaker 6: of having Daniel Jones on that two year deal and 480 00:19:55,028 --> 00:19:56,588 Speaker 6: it didn't work out, and we should have known. We 481 00:19:56,588 --> 00:20:00,028 Speaker 6: shouldn't have got is Donald worthy of long term contract 482 00:20:00,108 --> 00:20:02,148 Speaker 6: in New York. I don't know if Joe Shane's gonna 483 00:20:02,148 --> 00:20:03,668 Speaker 6: put his name to Sam Darnald. 484 00:20:03,428 --> 00:20:04,228 Speaker 9: For the long term. 485 00:20:04,468 --> 00:20:06,948 Speaker 6: And then you start getting down those second and third options, 486 00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:09,588 Speaker 6: and it starts getting to Russell Wilson really quick, and 487 00:20:09,628 --> 00:20:12,188 Speaker 6: it starts getting to mac Jones and Zak Wilson really 488 00:20:12,228 --> 00:20:15,308 Speaker 6: come out on those and Carson Wentz really quick. It 489 00:20:15,348 --> 00:20:18,788 Speaker 6: almost makes you say, oh, wait, Rogers, like, do we 490 00:20:18,828 --> 00:20:21,588 Speaker 6: need to go all Lennon Rodgers. It's amazing how it 491 00:20:21,628 --> 00:20:24,628 Speaker 6: went from this peculiar curiosity two weeks ago to now 492 00:20:24,668 --> 00:20:27,828 Speaker 6: being maybe their best option Aaron Rodgers and the Giants 493 00:20:27,868 --> 00:20:30,108 Speaker 6: to me. But if they don't land Aaron Rodgers, it 494 00:20:30,228 --> 00:20:33,348 Speaker 6: gets really really interesting and it could get really hairy 495 00:20:33,388 --> 00:20:34,988 Speaker 6: for Giants fans in the next few hours. 496 00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:35,708 Speaker 10: What do you got, Brock. 497 00:20:35,828 --> 00:20:39,188 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the Colts and they may not be 498 00:20:39,308 --> 00:20:41,548 Speaker 4: the sexy name right now, but I'm looking at the 499 00:20:41,548 --> 00:20:44,508 Speaker 4: Colts because we have two options. Is Anthony Richardson going 500 00:20:44,588 --> 00:20:48,548 Speaker 4: to finally emerge or will they Daniel Jones type research. 501 00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:52,308 Speaker 4: They're in such a unique situational one. I never fault 502 00:20:52,428 --> 00:20:54,988 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson for any of the stuff on the field. 503 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,308 Speaker 4: He has no skill set that immediately transfers to a 504 00:20:57,348 --> 00:20:59,868 Speaker 4: Shane Stike in offense. They got him anyway. He doesn't 505 00:20:59,868 --> 00:21:01,548 Speaker 4: dictate where he goes. He's there. 506 00:21:01,588 --> 00:21:01,748 Speaker 7: Now. 507 00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:05,308 Speaker 4: I do blame him for the anti is a strong word. 508 00:21:05,428 --> 00:21:08,428 Speaker 4: But the helmet, the coming off the sideline, that stuff, 509 00:21:08,508 --> 00:21:09,108 Speaker 4: what does that do? 510 00:21:09,588 --> 00:21:10,708 Speaker 7: It opens the floodgates. 511 00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:12,388 Speaker 4: So now the Colts are looking for a veteran to 512 00:21:12,428 --> 00:21:14,548 Speaker 4: come in and say, hey, this isn't a situation where 513 00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:17,908 Speaker 4: you're gonna mentor the young pup and teach them some things. No, 514 00:21:18,268 --> 00:21:21,148 Speaker 4: you're here because you might be starting Week one. And 515 00:21:21,188 --> 00:21:23,868 Speaker 4: what a great opportunity for a Daniel Jones to get 516 00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:24,228 Speaker 4: in there. 517 00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:26,188 Speaker 7: This team is ready to rock. They're young. 518 00:21:26,628 --> 00:21:28,708 Speaker 4: With the Colts offensive line, you never have to worry. 519 00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,788 Speaker 4: You have downs, you have Pittman, you have Peers, three 520 00:21:31,788 --> 00:21:34,028 Speaker 4: guys who could be there forever. This team is ready 521 00:21:34,028 --> 00:21:36,788 Speaker 4: to cook. It comes down to one position offensively, and 522 00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:39,948 Speaker 4: it's the quarterback position. And everyone's back is against the wall, 523 00:21:39,988 --> 00:21:43,068 Speaker 4: top to bottom in that organization. They do not have patients. 524 00:21:43,108 --> 00:21:46,548 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson has run out of tether. He is a 525 00:21:46,668 --> 00:21:50,388 Speaker 4: freak of nature athletically, but there's no tether. They need 526 00:21:50,548 --> 00:21:54,428 Speaker 4: performance immediately week one. I would love to see Daniel 527 00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:55,028 Speaker 4: Jones there. 528 00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:57,068 Speaker 7: I love a quarterback battle as. 529 00:21:56,948 --> 00:21:59,108 Speaker 4: Well, when you go into training camp and you know 530 00:21:59,148 --> 00:22:01,948 Speaker 4: that the most important position on the field, both of 531 00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,228 Speaker 4: those guys, or maybe it's a three man competition, when 532 00:22:04,228 --> 00:22:06,708 Speaker 4: those those guys have to show up every single day 533 00:22:06,948 --> 00:22:09,868 Speaker 4: and give their best as a safety, as a cornerback, 534 00:22:09,868 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 4: what's my excuse, right, I have to go out there 535 00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:12,028 Speaker 4: and fight. 536 00:22:12,188 --> 00:22:13,268 Speaker 7: So I'm looking at the Colts. 537 00:22:13,348 --> 00:22:14,988 Speaker 3: Oh. 538 00:22:14,028 --> 00:22:17,508 Speaker 12: I always Riches has been making the good headlines. Is 539 00:22:17,548 --> 00:22:19,588 Speaker 12: training in the offseason, the best shape of his life 540 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,148 Speaker 12: type stuff. You're going to see that this fall. His 541 00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:23,228 Speaker 12: body fat percentage is all down, and I hope he 542 00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:25,668 Speaker 12: needs it. I would go back to the Giants, and 543 00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:27,668 Speaker 12: Peter talked a lot about it. I have no doubt 544 00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:29,908 Speaker 12: that the Giants are interested in Rogers. My question is 545 00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:32,308 Speaker 12: is the other way through as well? Like is Rogers 546 00:22:32,348 --> 00:22:35,028 Speaker 12: interested in the Giants? I need something better than he 547 00:22:35,108 --> 00:22:36,948 Speaker 12: already has a house in New Jersey. I'm so sick 548 00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:39,708 Speaker 12: of he cares. It's a person with unlimited resources. They 549 00:22:39,708 --> 00:22:41,668 Speaker 12: can move, they have a binary life, they've lived their 550 00:22:41,668 --> 00:22:44,668 Speaker 12: whole deal. I don't know if I also like Giants fans. 551 00:22:44,668 --> 00:22:46,868 Speaker 12: That's a weird sell for Rogers. They spent the last 552 00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:49,908 Speaker 12: two years making fun of Jets fans and making Rogers jokes, 553 00:22:49,948 --> 00:22:52,108 Speaker 12: and now he's going to be your guy. I don't 554 00:22:52,148 --> 00:22:53,748 Speaker 12: see a lot of Giants fans, many of them I 555 00:22:53,748 --> 00:22:55,628 Speaker 12: know personal, who are like, hell, yes, bring Rogers. 556 00:22:55,788 --> 00:22:56,548 Speaker 10: I just don't see it. 557 00:22:56,628 --> 00:22:58,828 Speaker 12: They'd rather start fresh, they'd rather take a risk in 558 00:22:58,868 --> 00:23:01,228 Speaker 12: the draft, they'd rather do something there that's theirs. 559 00:23:01,268 --> 00:23:02,708 Speaker 10: Holy I don't think that's happening. 560 00:23:03,228 --> 00:23:05,948 Speaker 12: I look at the Vikings though, was really interesting situation, 561 00:23:06,068 --> 00:23:08,268 Speaker 12: just if only because they were so good last year, 562 00:23:08,308 --> 00:23:10,988 Speaker 12: and it seems like whoever quarterback they get might be 563 00:23:11,068 --> 00:23:13,428 Speaker 12: more significant to the league than who the Giants get 564 00:23:13,468 --> 00:23:14,868 Speaker 12: or who the Raiders have already got. 565 00:23:14,948 --> 00:23:15,908 Speaker 10: This is a big deal here. 566 00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:18,188 Speaker 12: I don't think it's gonna be Sam Donald, just based 567 00:23:18,228 --> 00:23:20,308 Speaker 12: on my gunt what I'm watching, because everything I hear 568 00:23:20,348 --> 00:23:21,988 Speaker 12: is well, if you could just give him a sort 569 00:23:21,988 --> 00:23:24,748 Speaker 12: of a medium deal, that doesn't exist. Guys, we've talked 570 00:23:24,788 --> 00:23:27,028 Speaker 12: about this over there is no middle class. It's not 571 00:23:27,068 --> 00:23:29,468 Speaker 12: gonna be this two year deal for thirty million dollars. 572 00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:32,028 Speaker 12: You don't see deals like that after a season like 573 00:23:32,068 --> 00:23:33,828 Speaker 12: you just had the Daniel Jones thing? 574 00:23:33,868 --> 00:23:34,428 Speaker 10: Would you hate me? 575 00:23:34,468 --> 00:23:36,068 Speaker 12: If I don't hate it, you think I'm gonna come 576 00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:38,508 Speaker 12: out and say, oh, Daniel Jones, I don't know, big 577 00:23:38,548 --> 00:23:40,788 Speaker 12: strong athlete. We just saw Sam Donald, who no one 578 00:23:40,828 --> 00:23:43,108 Speaker 12: thought anything of when he showed up in Minnesota, play 579 00:23:43,148 --> 00:23:43,668 Speaker 12: really well. 580 00:23:43,948 --> 00:23:44,588 Speaker 10: Rogers thing. 581 00:23:44,788 --> 00:23:46,988 Speaker 12: I also to put that, I don't see it at all, 582 00:23:47,148 --> 00:23:49,388 Speaker 12: don't I know? It's really fun and tasty to go 583 00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,508 Speaker 12: the same farv route and we can make a whole 584 00:23:51,548 --> 00:23:53,388 Speaker 12: jokes than in fifteen years Jordan Love will be on 585 00:23:53,428 --> 00:23:54,228 Speaker 12: the Vikings. 586 00:23:53,868 --> 00:23:55,988 Speaker 10: After being with the Jets. I don't think that's gonna happen. 587 00:23:55,988 --> 00:23:57,388 Speaker 12: The guy that I would love to see start for 588 00:23:57,428 --> 00:23:59,428 Speaker 12: the Vikings next year is JJ That's the one I 589 00:23:59,468 --> 00:24:01,468 Speaker 12: want to see. Their guy, the guy they drafted, a 590 00:24:01,468 --> 00:24:03,348 Speaker 12: guy who got injured a long time ago, and a 591 00:24:03,388 --> 00:24:05,988 Speaker 12: guy who is Frank. If you have Justin Jefferson some 592 00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,508 Speaker 12: of those defensive players. 593 00:24:07,628 --> 00:24:10,308 Speaker 10: That guy's on the clock. Tick tick tick tick tick tick. 594 00:24:10,348 --> 00:24:11,908 Speaker 12: You want to win a Super Bowl. You got about 595 00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:13,988 Speaker 12: three or four years at the most to do it. 596 00:24:14,188 --> 00:24:15,948 Speaker 12: And then if he turns out he's the next coming 597 00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:18,668 Speaker 12: of Drew Brees or Kirk Cousins. I, by the way, 598 00:24:18,668 --> 00:24:20,108 Speaker 12: I don't know what that look is. I would probably 599 00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:22,388 Speaker 12: get in the gym a little bit more and maybe 600 00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:25,148 Speaker 12: the super cuts. I don't know if that's the look. 601 00:24:25,508 --> 00:24:28,108 Speaker 12: But this was also a couple of months ago. If 602 00:24:28,148 --> 00:24:29,868 Speaker 12: I could snap my fingers, and if I could speak 603 00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:32,188 Speaker 12: for Vikings fans, what make them the happiest that he 604 00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:34,988 Speaker 12: is starting week one? He's healthy, He's throwing to Jefferson. 605 00:24:35,028 --> 00:24:37,108 Speaker 12: That is your guy. I'd start the ride now. 606 00:24:37,628 --> 00:24:40,668 Speaker 11: Your parent with Daniel Jones is like that sure veteran sure. 607 00:24:40,708 --> 00:24:44,668 Speaker 12: I mean fully tossing the Justin Jefferson keys to Daniel 608 00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:46,268 Speaker 12: Jones does not make me feel great. 609 00:24:46,668 --> 00:24:48,428 Speaker 10: But again, I can't be a hypocrite. 610 00:24:48,548 --> 00:24:50,508 Speaker 12: If I would have said last year, you're tossing them 611 00:24:50,508 --> 00:24:52,748 Speaker 12: to Sam Donald coming off after being a backup from 612 00:24:52,748 --> 00:24:54,988 Speaker 12: the Niners, I'd like, I don't feel great, and he 613 00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:55,588 Speaker 12: lit it up. 614 00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:57,428 Speaker 10: So I do think they have options. 615 00:24:57,508 --> 00:24:59,348 Speaker 12: I do not think Donald will be one of them, 616 00:24:59,388 --> 00:25:00,948 Speaker 12: and I don't think Rogers will be one of them. 617 00:25:00,948 --> 00:25:03,108 Speaker 3: Sometimes the best player on a basketball court is the 618 00:25:03,108 --> 00:25:05,068 Speaker 3: sixth man, the guy that gets to watch the game 619 00:25:05,188 --> 00:25:07,588 Speaker 3: start and understand how the game is unfolding. And maybe 620 00:25:07,588 --> 00:25:10,068 Speaker 3: that's what's gonna happen with jj McCarthy's career. After having 621 00:25:10,148 --> 00:25:12,628 Speaker 3: watched everything unfold in front of him last year and 622 00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:15,788 Speaker 3: been in Josh McCown's pocket all season long, Peter quickly 623 00:25:15,948 --> 00:25:18,748 Speaker 3: the way things have panned out with quarterbacks thus far, 624 00:25:19,028 --> 00:25:22,028 Speaker 3: has it made the market even hotter for Sam Donald 625 00:25:22,028 --> 00:25:24,228 Speaker 3: because it feels like we're hearing his name in more 626 00:25:24,268 --> 00:25:26,148 Speaker 3: spots that are not Minnesota right now. 627 00:25:26,548 --> 00:25:29,828 Speaker 6: The trade of Gino to the Raiders opened things up 628 00:25:29,868 --> 00:25:32,988 Speaker 6: for Sam Donald considerably because now there's an open spot 629 00:25:33,028 --> 00:25:36,708 Speaker 6: in Seattle that needs a quarterback at that they can 630 00:25:36,748 --> 00:25:39,348 Speaker 6: actually spend the money on him. His number was always 631 00:25:39,388 --> 00:25:42,108 Speaker 6: going to be, just like Kyle said, like a lot, 632 00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:44,508 Speaker 6: but not enough because he has improved everything so that 633 00:25:44,548 --> 00:25:47,268 Speaker 6: he was this good option for Minnesota if they could 634 00:25:47,268 --> 00:25:49,788 Speaker 6: come to terms. But if there's teams bidding on him, 635 00:25:49,828 --> 00:25:52,668 Speaker 6: it totally it sits too much money for Minnesota to. 636 00:25:52,668 --> 00:25:54,948 Speaker 10: Have that quarterback, and a rookie quarterback. 637 00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:59,668 Speaker 6: The whole reason why Kraisiodopo Menta drafted JJ McCarthy and 638 00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 6: had Sam Donald because he had the economically sound veteran 639 00:26:02,788 --> 00:26:05,028 Speaker 6: in Donald. And then you have the rookie on the 640 00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:06,908 Speaker 6: rookie contract, and you could spend everywhere else. 641 00:26:07,188 --> 00:26:08,708 Speaker 5: Well, that one could be completely blown up. 642 00:26:08,748 --> 00:26:10,708 Speaker 6: Maybe all a sudden, you're paying forty million dollars to 643 00:26:10,788 --> 00:26:13,148 Speaker 6: Donald or forty five million, and then you got, you. 644 00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:14,668 Speaker 11: Know, ten million to JJ McCarthy. 645 00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:19,308 Speaker 6: So Donald's teams I thought Tennessee made sense. I'm hearing 646 00:26:19,348 --> 00:26:23,708 Speaker 6: nothing out of Tennessee on Sam Donald. So Seattle Pittsburgh's 647 00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:26,828 Speaker 6: getting whispered. And then of course you could always say, 648 00:26:26,868 --> 00:26:28,588 Speaker 6: all right, well you got all those teams. Then he 649 00:26:28,588 --> 00:26:30,388 Speaker 6: could take a short term deal with any of these 650 00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:31,948 Speaker 6: teams if he wanted to do a one year deal 651 00:26:32,228 --> 00:26:34,468 Speaker 6: and go to one of these squads, whether it be 652 00:26:34,668 --> 00:26:37,508 Speaker 6: the Giants or one of these other quarterback needy teams 653 00:26:37,548 --> 00:26:40,068 Speaker 6: or the whole. So I think Sam Donald's market opened 654 00:26:40,108 --> 00:26:43,028 Speaker 6: up when Gino was traded to the Raiders and the 655 00:26:43,108 --> 00:26:45,348 Speaker 6: Vegas Raiders option became Geno's team. 656 00:26:45,428 --> 00:26:47,588 Speaker 3: The Vikings made sure they were set at least everywhere else, 657 00:26:47,588 --> 00:26:49,748 Speaker 3: signing Aaron Jones to a two year, twenty million dollar 658 00:26:49,828 --> 00:26:51,828 Speaker 3: deal over the weekend as well, didn't let him hit 659 00:26:51,868 --> 00:26:54,068 Speaker 3: the open market. Still, the come free agent frenzies. 660 00:26:54,148 --> 00:26:55,308 Speaker 2: Here. We're taking a. 661 00:26:55,268 --> 00:26:58,388 Speaker 3: Look at who could make some noise in the free 662 00:26:58,428 --> 00:27:01,868 Speaker 3: agent market. And by noise, I mean Kyle screaming or 663 00:27:01,948 --> 00:27:04,348 Speaker 3: ripping a paper or peer growing his phone or like. 664 00:27:04,428 --> 00:27:06,788 Speaker 3: We're not just like ooh, that was like a sexy 665 00:27:06,788 --> 00:27:08,748 Speaker 3: that no like we actually made noise. 666 00:27:09,468 --> 00:27:09,668 Speaker 13: We have. 667 00:27:09,828 --> 00:27:14,268 Speaker 3: We're very literal in our interpretations of bumps on GMFP goodbye. 668 00:27:14,348 --> 00:27:15,908 Speaker 7: Busy morning on GMFB. 669 00:27:16,148 --> 00:27:18,188 Speaker 3: But that does not mean we will not take time 670 00:27:18,228 --> 00:27:21,068 Speaker 3: to welcome in mj Acosta Luiz, who is handling the 671 00:27:21,068 --> 00:27:22,908 Speaker 3: news for us on this very crazy day. 672 00:27:23,028 --> 00:27:23,148 Speaker 10: MJ. 673 00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:24,308 Speaker 2: What up girl?

In twenty twenty four, I was able 690 00:28:20,268 --> 00:28:24,148 Speaker 14: to lead our activation. That campaign was true and dear 691 00:28:24,188 --> 00:28:26,868 Speaker 14: to my heart because it was a two year job 692 00:28:27,028 --> 00:28:30,348 Speaker 14: in the making. I can honestly say I was the 693 00:28:30,348 --> 00:28:33,788 Speaker 14: first black woman in this role, and so for me 694 00:28:34,068 --> 00:28:36,948 Speaker 14: it was already a proud moment just to be able 695 00:28:36,988 --> 00:28:39,868 Speaker 14: to say here I am breaking a barrier for someone 696 00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:43,748 Speaker 14: to come behind me to also at least have an example. 697 00:28:44,988 --> 00:28:46,948 Speaker 14: You know, we can do this, We can do these 698 00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:50,068 Speaker 14: type of roles, and I think the time will come 699 00:28:50,188 --> 00:28:55,788 Speaker 14: where we will see more women in president roles, CEO positions, 700 00:28:56,228 --> 00:28:58,148 Speaker 14: and my hope is that we see more women that 701 00:28:58,188 --> 00:29:00,308 Speaker 14: look like me in these type of roles as well. 702 00:29:01,828 --> 00:29:03,028 Speaker 5: Incredible stuff there. 703 00:29:03,188 --> 00:29:05,828 Speaker 13: I was actually at one of those games, electric all right, 704 00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:08,028 Speaker 13: when we come back up the Browns, they backed up 705 00:29:08,068 --> 00:29:09,748 Speaker 13: the Brins truck to keep Miles Garrett. 706 00:29:09,828 --> 00:29:11,348 Speaker 5: Yeah, we would too, Jami and the guys. 707 00:29:11,428 --> 00:29:12,548 Speaker 10: We'll got into white. 708 00:29:12,588 --> 00:29:15,308 Speaker 13: This this deal and what it means for the rest 709 00:29:15,308 --> 00:29:15,748 Speaker 13: of the league. 710 00:29:15,908 --> 00:29:29,148 Speaker 2: That's a good morning football. 711 00:29:31,028 --> 00:29:35,468 Speaker 3: We had a history making contract extension signed over the weekend, 712 00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:38,748 Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport, But it came as the seventh version of 713 00:29:38,788 --> 00:29:41,308 Speaker 3: a chapter to a story that we were enraptured by 714 00:29:41,428 --> 00:29:44,028 Speaker 3: with Miles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. How did this 715 00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:45,188 Speaker 3: thing finish? 716 00:29:45,268 --> 00:29:49,108 Speaker 8: It went from a trade request to a new contract, 717 00:29:49,108 --> 00:29:53,548 Speaker 8: a blockbuster new contract for Miles Garrett, now the highest 718 00:29:53,588 --> 00:29:56,348 Speaker 8: paid defensive player at NFL history, highest paid non quarterback 719 00:29:56,588 --> 00:29:58,988 Speaker 8: in NFL history. And you're right, this one went for 720 00:29:59,108 --> 00:30:01,308 Speaker 8: Miles Garrett on superw League, declaring that he was not 721 00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:03,668 Speaker 8: going to play for the Browns, wanted to be traded 722 00:30:03,908 --> 00:30:06,108 Speaker 8: all the way to the new contracts. My understanding was 723 00:30:06,148 --> 00:30:08,988 Speaker 8: the Browns never budget all, never took calls from teams, 724 00:30:09,068 --> 00:30:12,428 Speaker 8: never engaged in any trade talks, told Miles Garrett, you 725 00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:14,508 Speaker 8: are going to be here, and as soon as it 726 00:30:14,548 --> 00:30:17,388 Speaker 8: became clear to him that they weren't moving, concluding when 727 00:30:17,428 --> 00:30:18,188 Speaker 8: he did not get the. 728 00:30:18,188 --> 00:30:20,108 Speaker 9: Meeting with owner Jimmy haslum that he wanted. 729 00:30:20,468 --> 00:30:23,908 Speaker 8: All the focus turned on getting a contract done and 730 00:30:23,948 --> 00:30:24,948 Speaker 8: the dealer is massive. 731 00:30:24,988 --> 00:30:25,908 Speaker 9: Four years, one. 732 00:30:25,948 --> 00:30:28,468 Speaker 8: Hundred and sixty million dollars, one hundred and twenty three 733 00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:32,348 Speaker 8: million dollars guaranteed. So he is now under contract for 734 00:30:32,428 --> 00:30:34,348 Speaker 8: six years total for. 735 00:30:34,388 --> 00:30:35,548 Speaker 9: The Cleveland Browns at. 736 00:30:35,508 --> 00:30:38,548 Speaker 8: A two hundred and four point eight million dollars total, 737 00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:40,708 Speaker 8: more than one hundred million dollars in the first three 738 00:30:40,748 --> 00:30:44,628 Speaker 8: years eighty eight twenty eight million dollars fully guaranteed upon signing. 739 00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:46,348 Speaker 9: This saga now ends. 740 00:30:46,668 --> 00:30:49,388 Speaker 8: Miles Garrett stays with the Browns, and he does so 741 00:30:49,508 --> 00:30:51,188 Speaker 8: as a very very rich man. 742 00:30:51,308 --> 00:30:53,108 Speaker 3: Absolutely well, he is one of the best. So he 743 00:30:53,148 --> 00:30:56,628 Speaker 3: certainly qualifies for those numbers Ian, thank you very much. 744 00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:58,668 Speaker 3: And if you look at those numbers in twenty twenty one, 745 00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:01,468 Speaker 3: of course, Miles Garrett he qualifies for being amongst the 746 00:31:01,508 --> 00:31:03,988 Speaker 3: games elite and Peter, this is why he got paid. 747 00:31:04,468 --> 00:31:06,868 Speaker 3: But there is an aspect to this which is just 748 00:31:07,468 --> 00:31:09,988 Speaker 3: how and why did this come to be? And actually, Kyle, 749 00:31:10,028 --> 00:31:12,188 Speaker 3: because we were discussing it last week for so long, 750 00:31:12,428 --> 00:31:14,348 Speaker 3: I want to check in with you first. 751 00:31:14,588 --> 00:31:16,548 Speaker 12: Yeah, all right, So there's a whole bunch of statistics 752 00:31:16,588 --> 00:31:18,548 Speaker 12: and stuff, and that's where he's been since the last 753 00:31:18,588 --> 00:31:19,028 Speaker 12: few years. 754 00:31:19,028 --> 00:31:20,508 Speaker 10: And you know that he's a great player. He's going 755 00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:21,428 Speaker 10: to go to the Hall of Fame. 756 00:31:21,668 --> 00:31:24,708 Speaker 12: More importantly than the stats, what is this, what has 757 00:31:24,748 --> 00:31:25,628 Speaker 12: happened over. 758 00:31:25,428 --> 00:31:26,188 Speaker 10: The past week. 759 00:31:26,948 --> 00:31:29,588 Speaker 12: It's I want to just make sure we review how 760 00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,348 Speaker 12: we got here, because there's going to be a lot 761 00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,868 Speaker 12: of big news and big players in big numbers. This 762 00:31:33,908 --> 00:31:37,068 Speaker 12: one is a little bit different, mostly because about a 763 00:31:37,108 --> 00:31:43,108 Speaker 12: week ago, Miles Garrett himself penned a first person letter 764 00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:47,108 Speaker 12: which was published and passionate, and I'm going to read 765 00:31:47,148 --> 00:31:49,508 Speaker 12: to you now in part this is what Miles Garrett 766 00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:49,788 Speaker 12: was saying. 767 00:31:49,828 --> 00:31:50,268 Speaker 10: Here we go. 768 00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:54,788 Speaker 12: He talks about his childhood as a kid dreaming of 769 00:31:54,828 --> 00:31:55,468 Speaker 12: the NFL. 770 00:31:56,188 --> 00:31:57,548 Speaker 10: All I focused on was. 771 00:31:57,548 --> 00:31:59,948 Speaker 12: The ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, and that 772 00:31:59,988 --> 00:32:03,348 Speaker 12: goal fuels me today more than ever. He would go 773 00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:07,668 Speaker 12: on to say, my desire to win and compete on 774 00:32:07,708 --> 00:32:10,548 Speaker 12: the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent. 775 00:32:11,228 --> 00:32:13,388 Speaker 10: The goal was never to go from Cleveland and Canton. 776 00:32:13,428 --> 00:32:15,628 Speaker 12: It has always been to compete for and win a 777 00:32:15,708 --> 00:32:19,228 Speaker 12: Super Bowl. With that in mind, I have requested to 778 00:32:19,268 --> 00:32:23,028 Speaker 12: be traded from the Cleveland Browns. Very moving, very passionate 779 00:32:23,468 --> 00:32:26,988 Speaker 12: and very black and white. We go from that to 780 00:32:27,188 --> 00:32:33,588 Speaker 12: this one week later, money boom bam everything. Miles Garrett 781 00:32:34,228 --> 00:32:38,468 Speaker 12: somehow convinced, despite saying passionately that all he wants is 782 00:32:38,468 --> 00:32:42,148 Speaker 12: a Super Bowl, that staying in Cleveland, where he will 783 00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:46,188 Speaker 12: probably have week one, the seventeenth starting quarterback of his tenure, 784 00:32:46,228 --> 00:32:47,868 Speaker 12: there is the best path to that. 785 00:32:47,988 --> 00:32:49,428 Speaker 10: You know what, I think had the best tweet about it. 786 00:32:49,428 --> 00:32:50,268 Speaker 10: Everybody laughed about it. 787 00:32:50,308 --> 00:32:52,908 Speaker 12: I think the most eloquent, well spoken tweet was bring 788 00:32:52,948 --> 00:32:57,628 Speaker 12: it up. This hit every single note of this exactly 789 00:32:57,668 --> 00:33:00,588 Speaker 12: and you're not all right. So you have lolo WGF 790 00:33:00,708 --> 00:33:03,308 Speaker 12: because first of all, we all laugh like, what is 791 00:33:03,348 --> 00:33:03,868 Speaker 12: this a joke? 792 00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:05,868 Speaker 10: How could this possibly be true? That's phase one. 793 00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:09,708 Speaker 12: The second one one is realization of yo, wow, this 794 00:33:09,868 --> 00:33:13,228 Speaker 12: really is happening, and then wtf. I thought that his 795 00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:16,748 Speaker 12: whole thing was he wanted to leave. And McNeil tweeted this, 796 00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:19,308 Speaker 12: and it brings up to Michael Scott. I was never 797 00:33:19,348 --> 00:33:21,108 Speaker 12: in this for the money, but it turns out that 798 00:33:21,108 --> 00:33:23,028 Speaker 12: the money was an absolute necessity for me. 799 00:33:23,148 --> 00:33:24,388 Speaker 5: Like we have heard, it's. 800 00:33:24,228 --> 00:33:25,028 Speaker 10: Not about the money. 801 00:33:25,028 --> 00:33:28,228 Speaker 12: For decades in sports, it has never been more about 802 00:33:28,308 --> 00:33:30,908 Speaker 12: the money, and that's fine, go and make as much 803 00:33:30,948 --> 00:33:33,388 Speaker 12: as you want. But to be in less than a 804 00:33:33,388 --> 00:33:36,188 Speaker 12: week of a pennying a passionate letter to the fan 805 00:33:36,268 --> 00:33:38,948 Speaker 12: base about winning Super Bowls and I'm leaving and b 806 00:33:39,588 --> 00:33:42,588 Speaker 12: going on a whistle stop tour through the city of 807 00:33:42,628 --> 00:33:46,068 Speaker 12: New Orleans to stop at every radio show and podcast 808 00:33:46,148 --> 00:33:46,548 Speaker 12: and taken. 809 00:33:46,828 --> 00:33:49,228 Speaker 10: I've talked with my family.

Is it that the money was that important? 812 00:33:53,268 --> 00:33:56,108 Speaker 12: Was this a ruse? Was this a hidden ball trick? 813 00:33:56,388 --> 00:33:58,788 Speaker 12: That is one of the greatest one eighties I have 814 00:33:58,868 --> 00:34:01,028 Speaker 12: ever seen.

But you do have a ton 820 00:34:09,988 --> 00:34:12,308 Speaker 12: of money. So he doesn't have a quarterback.

And 860 00:35:39,788 --> 00:35:41,668 Speaker 6: I'm not saying that's like the pine Barons of the 861 00:35:41,788 --> 00:35:42,948 Speaker 6: NFL are like, but he could. 862 00:35:42,948 --> 00:35:44,068 Speaker 10: They could have traded him anywhere. 863 00:35:44,148 --> 00:35:46,068 Speaker 6: You want to be traded, your giant, you're a jet, 864 00:35:46,468 --> 00:35:48,068 Speaker 6: you want to be traded.

It's just what a bunch 871 00:35:59,228 --> 00:36:01,548 Speaker 6: of wasted airwaves and wasted segments on our show when 872 00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:03,268 Speaker 6: the truth of the matter was you had to change 873 00:36:03,308 --> 00:36:05,268 Speaker 6: your heart in forty million dollar doll in, the highest 874 00:36:05,268 --> 00:36:06,828 Speaker 6: non paid quarterback ever could do that. 875 00:36:07,028 --> 00:36:07,908 Speaker 5: Congratulations. 876 00:36:07,908 --> 00:36:09,068 Speaker 11: But now the salary cap. 877 00:36:08,988 --> 00:36:11,028 Speaker 6: Is going all to you, and we hopefully can build 878 00:36:11,068 --> 00:36:11,908 Speaker 6: a champion around you. 879 00:36:12,508 --> 00:36:14,348 Speaker 7: Yeah, they can't and they won't. 880 00:36:14,628 --> 00:36:16,868 Speaker 4: And he knew that going in. If he just would 881 00:36:16,868 --> 00:36:18,668 Speaker 4: have taken the money, it would have been fine. Everyone 882 00:36:18,668 --> 00:36:20,748 Speaker 4: would have sat here and said forty million. Of course 883 00:36:20,748 --> 00:36:23,028 Speaker 4: he does that. But to your guys, great point when 884 00:36:23,028 --> 00:36:25,228 Speaker 4: you go around and say, no, I'm standing for something. 885 00:36:25,348 --> 00:36:27,108 Speaker 7: I already have the gold jacket. I don't want the 886 00:36:27,148 --> 00:36:27,668 Speaker 7: god jacket. 887 00:36:27,668 --> 00:36:28,308 Speaker 10: I want the ring. 888 00:36:28,588 --> 00:36:31,668 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get complacent. Yeah, you stuck your foot 889 00:36:31,668 --> 00:36:33,348 Speaker 4: in your mouth a bit. But I'm sitting here wondering 890 00:36:33,348 --> 00:36:35,708 Speaker 4: who does this benefit because this doesn't benefit the Browns either. 891 00:36:36,028 --> 00:36:36,708 Speaker 9: You just mentioned it. 892 00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:39,228 Speaker 4: This team is cashtrip. They're over the cap in twenty 893 00:36:39,268 --> 00:36:42,908 Speaker 4: twenty six. Nothing is going to get better. They're gonna 894 00:36:42,908 --> 00:36:45,108 Speaker 4: go out there and win three games again. So what 895 00:36:45,148 --> 00:36:47,548 Speaker 4: does this do for the Cleveland Browns? What does this 896 00:36:47,668 --> 00:36:51,148 Speaker 4: do for Miles Garrett? There's a ceiling, a very low 897 00:36:51,188 --> 00:36:54,388 Speaker 4: ceiling place on the amount of change on how different 898 00:36:54,428 --> 00:36:57,628 Speaker 4: Cleveland can look not just next year, but the year after. 899 00:36:57,828 --> 00:36:59,948 Speaker 4: And they're in a tough division, and quite honestly, doesn't 900 00:36:59,948 --> 00:37:00,868 Speaker 4: matter what division they're in. 901 00:37:01,108 --> 00:37:04,148 Speaker 7: They stink right now and it's not going to. 902 00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:08,828 Speaker 4: There's no leverage here for Miles Garrett, right So if 903 00:37:08,868 --> 00:37:11,188 Speaker 4: after this season, when they win three more games, or 904 00:37:11,308 --> 00:37:14,068 Speaker 4: the following season, if they win fever games, he can't 905 00:37:14,108 --> 00:37:16,628 Speaker 4: go say something needs to change or I'm out of here. 906 00:37:16,708 --> 00:37:17,148 Speaker 10: No you're not. 907 00:37:17,588 --> 00:37:19,988 Speaker 4: Jimmy Haslm gets to sit there and say I called 908 00:37:20,028 --> 00:37:22,028 Speaker 4: your bluff. I will continue to call your bluff, And 909 00:37:22,068 --> 00:37:24,548 Speaker 4: Miles Garrett has to be a Cleveland Brown until they 910 00:37:24,588 --> 00:37:27,708 Speaker 4: decide they don't want him anymore. He has no leverage 911 00:37:27,708 --> 00:37:30,108 Speaker 4: going forward. And as far as the money, anybody would 912 00:37:30,108 --> 00:37:32,628 Speaker 4: have paid him that and if he got traded, any 913 00:37:32,668 --> 00:37:34,828 Speaker 4: other team is in a better position than Cleveland is 914 00:37:34,828 --> 00:37:38,148 Speaker 4: in for the next two years. I'm I'm not disappointed 915 00:37:38,188 --> 00:37:40,868 Speaker 4: because anybody would love forty million dollars, So I'm not 916 00:37:40,908 --> 00:37:43,828 Speaker 4: disappointed that he changed his mind. I'm disappointed in the 917 00:37:43,828 --> 00:37:46,148 Speaker 4: way that he went about it. And I'm disappointed because 918 00:37:46,188 --> 00:37:48,268 Speaker 4: this could have been a huge moment for the NFL 919 00:37:48,348 --> 00:37:51,268 Speaker 4: that one of the best players among the league right 920 00:37:51,308 --> 00:37:54,268 Speaker 4: now stood for something, and that's a pedestal he put 921 00:37:54,348 --> 00:37:54,748 Speaker 4: himself on. 922 00:37:54,948 --> 00:37:56,988 Speaker 3: Well, the Browns get their player though in the next 923 00:37:57,028 --> 00:37:58,988 Speaker 3: handful of years till twenty thirty to put him on 924 00:37:59,028 --> 00:38:02,588 Speaker 3: the poster boards all over Cleveland. So marketability wise, the 925 00:38:02,588 --> 00:38:04,828 Speaker 3: Browns are there with Miles Garrett moving forward. 926 00:38:05,028 --> 00:38:05,988 Speaker 7: The deal is done. 927 00:38:06,268 --> 00:38:10,068 Speaker 3: Now can we dissect how this massive contract affects the 928 00:38:10,068 --> 00:38:10,828 Speaker 3: rest of the league? 929 00:38:10,868 --> 00:38:11,108 Speaker 10: Peter? 930 00:38:11,348 --> 00:38:14,308 Speaker 3: Because they're setting the bar, they're setting the table, and 931 00:38:14,348 --> 00:38:17,948 Speaker 3: then there's just like pulling the linen out from underneath 932 00:38:17,948 --> 00:38:21,028 Speaker 3: everything and shaking everything, Peter, So how does this change things? 933 00:38:21,548 --> 00:38:21,748 Speaker 5: Yeah? 934 00:38:21,828 --> 00:38:24,308 Speaker 6: I think I think Kyle brought up Michael Parsons's tweet 935 00:38:24,308 --> 00:38:25,828 Speaker 6: and part of that was about the situation, and the 936 00:38:25,828 --> 00:38:27,388 Speaker 6: part of it was about himself, Like, wait a second, 937 00:38:27,468 --> 00:38:30,228 Speaker 6: what did I just get? Because that just raised the 938 00:38:30,388 --> 00:38:33,268 Speaker 6: level and the number that anyone thought was imaginable for 939 00:38:33,268 --> 00:38:36,028 Speaker 6: a non quarterback to make. And now guys like Michael 940 00:38:36,068 --> 00:38:39,308 Speaker 6: Parsons and Jamar Chase, who have not signed extensions that 941 00:38:39,308 --> 00:38:41,348 Speaker 6: have been offered by their teams or have not engaged 942 00:38:41,388 --> 00:38:44,108 Speaker 6: in those talks even are now looking at their wallets 943 00:38:44,108 --> 00:38:46,108 Speaker 6: and saying, did I just make ten to fifteen million 944 00:38:46,188 --> 00:38:48,708 Speaker 6: dollars more a year based on what Miles Garrett just 945 00:38:48,748 --> 00:38:49,508 Speaker 6: did with Cleveland. 946 00:38:49,988 --> 00:38:51,548 Speaker 11: I'm telling you, I can't stress it enough. 947 00:38:51,588 --> 00:38:53,268 Speaker 6: It was a blip on the radar when the new 948 00:38:53,308 --> 00:38:56,388 Speaker 6: salary cap numbers were announced at the combine. It was 949 00:38:56,548 --> 00:38:58,548 Speaker 6: way more than a lot of these teams even thought 950 00:38:58,668 --> 00:39:00,268 Speaker 6: was going to be. They have tons of more money 951 00:39:00,348 --> 00:39:02,468 Speaker 6: to spend now. And if you didn't sign a deal 952 00:39:02,548 --> 00:39:04,868 Speaker 6: early with these players that you wanted to keep, they 953 00:39:04,908 --> 00:39:08,948 Speaker 6: have even more leverage. So Jamar Chase, Michael Parsons, congratulations, 954 00:39:08,948 --> 00:39:10,348 Speaker 6: he got a lot richer and Miles. 955 00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,588 Speaker 5: Garrett might have set that bar for you. 956 00:39:12,428 --> 00:39:14,388 Speaker 4: I see a sigh of relief around the league that 957 00:39:14,468 --> 00:39:16,708 Speaker 4: Miles Garrett did end up on a team that many 958 00:39:16,748 --> 00:39:20,028 Speaker 4: would see more as a contender. So they're all breathing, Okay, 959 00:39:20,068 --> 00:39:22,308 Speaker 4: Miles and Carrett is not an eagle. This is great 960 00:39:22,348 --> 00:39:24,708 Speaker 4: news for us, and a lot of players are gonna 961 00:39:24,708 --> 00:39:26,868 Speaker 4: get maybe a little more money and they can add 962 00:39:26,868 --> 00:39:28,708 Speaker 4: that to their bank account, which is great. But as 963 00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:30,948 Speaker 4: far as a big picture, I see this as a 964 00:39:30,948 --> 00:39:33,908 Speaker 4: heat check. Jamie, you made a basketball reference earlier. I 965 00:39:33,948 --> 00:39:37,228 Speaker 4: compare this to James Harden, right, James Harden tweets out, 966 00:39:37,428 --> 00:39:39,468 Speaker 4: I don't want to be here anymore. Twenty four hours later, 967 00:39:39,508 --> 00:39:42,308 Speaker 4: he's playing across the street as a Clipper. Right. I 968 00:39:42,348 --> 00:39:45,108 Speaker 4: feel the NFL players kind of saw, okay, maybe we're 969 00:39:45,108 --> 00:39:48,668 Speaker 4: not NBA leverage just yet. As far as player empowerment goes, 970 00:39:48,708 --> 00:39:51,908 Speaker 4: there's been huge leaps. Players have have more empowerment and 971 00:39:51,948 --> 00:39:54,308 Speaker 4: power currently than they've ever had. 972 00:39:54,668 --> 00:39:56,388 Speaker 7: But this was a heat check. This was no, no, no, 973 00:39:56,388 --> 00:39:56,708 Speaker 7: no no. 974 00:39:57,188 --> 00:39:59,788 Speaker 4: This is the NFL. We are not going to operate 975 00:39:59,868 --> 00:40:02,988 Speaker 4: like the NBH just yet. And you are under contract 976 00:40:03,228 --> 00:40:06,188 Speaker 4: and you will honor that contract. So a lot of 977 00:40:06,188 --> 00:40:08,108 Speaker 4: money to go around, but maybe a little bit of 978 00:40:08,188 --> 00:40:09,188 Speaker 4: humbling as well. 979 00:40:10,788 --> 00:40:13,028 Speaker 10: I'm intrigued by what Peter said, and to. 980 00:40:13,028 --> 00:40:15,388 Speaker 12: Your point, like the Browns handled this pretty damn well, 981 00:40:15,748 --> 00:40:18,268 Speaker 12: the fact that their face of their franchise is doing 982 00:40:18,268 --> 00:40:20,628 Speaker 12: a publicity tour about how much he wants out because 983 00:40:20,628 --> 00:40:21,908 Speaker 12: you'll never win a Super Bowl. 984 00:40:22,388 --> 00:40:23,068 Speaker 10: They shut up. 985 00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,628 Speaker 12: They didn't do anything crazy and dumb, like you know, 986 00:40:25,668 --> 00:40:29,988 Speaker 12: I'm following him on social or some cryptic emoji. Andrew Berry, 987 00:40:30,068 --> 00:40:34,068 Speaker 12: Stefanski and Haslam just stood their ground and they said no, no, no. 988 00:40:34,428 --> 00:40:36,508 Speaker 12: When even had me last Friday, I was screaming on 989 00:40:36,548 --> 00:40:38,828 Speaker 12: this show, trade them, trade them, get everything you can 990 00:40:38,908 --> 00:40:40,868 Speaker 12: for him right now, and they said, no, we're gonna 991 00:40:40,868 --> 00:40:41,268 Speaker 12: sign them. 992 00:40:41,308 --> 00:40:42,068 Speaker 10: And listen. 993 00:40:42,188 --> 00:40:44,388 Speaker 12: I think the Browns organization takes a lot of craft 994 00:40:44,388 --> 00:40:45,908 Speaker 12: for how they handle things, and some of it is 995 00:40:45,948 --> 00:40:48,828 Speaker 12: well deserved, but this wasn't. I would say march this 996 00:40:48,988 --> 00:40:51,068 Speaker 12: up with some at the time that they handled themselves 997 00:40:51,108 --> 00:40:53,708 Speaker 12: with dignity, and I really am impressed with how they 998 00:40:53,748 --> 00:40:56,388 Speaker 12: did this. And I give nothing, no snarky remark, nothing whatsoever. 999 00:40:56,588 --> 00:40:58,868 Speaker 12: They have a fantastic player. I mean, I don't know 1000 00:40:58,868 --> 00:41:00,468 Speaker 12: what the hell they're going to do with their quarterback, 1001 00:41:00,508 --> 00:41:02,988 Speaker 12: but for this particular chapter, I thought it was very 1002 00:41:02,988 --> 00:41:03,388 Speaker 12: well done. 1003 00:41:03,388 --> 00:41:06,828 Speaker 3: All Right, the other team is managing free agency to 1004 00:41:06,948 --> 00:41:09,468 Speaker 3: try and win a Super Bowl. The Eagles have done it, 1005 00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:12,188 Speaker 3: and Jalen Hurts is managing his cigar collection and having 1006 00:41:12,188 --> 00:41:13,188 Speaker 3: dinner with Michael Jordan. 1007 00:41:13,708 --> 00:41:14,948 Speaker 7: That's what you get to do in the. 1008 00:41:14,868 --> 00:41:17,508 Speaker 13: Off season when you win a Super Bowl MVP. 1009 00:41:17,828 --> 00:41:20,068 Speaker 3: And you won your first Lombardi and you bring it 1010 00:41:20,108 --> 00:41:22,108 Speaker 3: back to Philly and Peter, you get to have dinner 1011 00:41:22,148 --> 00:41:24,548 Speaker 3: with the NBA great Michael Jordan. 1012 00:41:24,628 --> 00:41:25,988 Speaker 9: Your thoughts awesome. 1013 00:41:26,228 --> 00:41:27,588 Speaker 5: You know, he's a Jordan athlete. 1014 00:41:27,668 --> 00:41:28,548 Speaker 11: He's on the brand. 1015 00:41:28,748 --> 00:41:31,668 Speaker 6: What a cool picture for Jalen and of course MJ 1016 00:41:31,908 --> 00:41:32,908 Speaker 6: so cool and how he looks. 1017 00:41:33,068 --> 00:41:35,148 Speaker 4: The more I think about it, the more find similarities 1018 00:41:35,188 --> 00:41:37,708 Speaker 4: between Jalen Hurts and Michael Jordan. Jalen Hurts isn't on 1019 00:41:37,828 --> 00:41:40,308 Speaker 4: camera as much, but there is a mystery to him, 1020 00:41:40,428 --> 00:41:42,628 Speaker 4: right He's always speaking in parables. He wants the winning 1021 00:41:42,668 --> 00:41:44,388 Speaker 4: to do the talking, so I see why him and 1022 00:41:44,428 --> 00:41:45,708 Speaker 4: Jordan have a ton to talk about.
