00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. It

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: is a Wednesday in Pittsburgh, a snowy Wednesday. Yeah. I

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: woke up this morning and I'm like, where did this

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: come from? You know, It's like, yeah, what's going on here?

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: That the same thing? Yeah, woke up, rolled out of bed,

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: dragged comb across my head and then I pulled, pulled

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: the blinds down, like it's all white out there. I

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: didn't know this was coming. I don't pay attention to

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: the weather and whatnot. But I actually pushed the shovel

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: and didn't need to do that. It all melted. But

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: that was a little shocker, as has been this week.

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, not the best leading ever, but only smoked.

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I've mentioned that I do a daily podcast,

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and we've been joking on the podcast we might have

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: the two shows a day. We can't fit everything in. Yeah,

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: it's really strange here. We we've seen. You know, yesterday

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Tuesday was the franchise tag deadline around the leak by

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: four o'clock and it seemed like, well, the the the

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers news broke just before that um that he

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: was going to be staying with the Green Bay Packers.

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: They then franchise tag Davante Adams. Uh, and then soon

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: thereafter after Rogers was off the table. Uh. You get

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the new is that the Denver Broncos were basically giving

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: up their next two drafts and and and three players

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: to go get Russell Wilson. Yeah, and things like Mike

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Williams signing an extension. You know, don't even register hardly.

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: You know, usually that's the biggest NEWSNY million of years

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: for for you know, for for Mike Williams, and it's

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: an afterthought. Yeah, or Landry did the same thing with

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: the Titans, an edge pass rusher, And just when you

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: thought Calvin Ridley getting suspended for the year was gonna

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: be the biggest news in a while, I kind of

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: forgot about it already, Yeah, because we'll talk about we'll

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: talk about that here and a little bit later in

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the segment. But the quarterback news dominated today. I mean,

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: there's just no way fans or butts about it because

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about two potential, uh Hall of Fame quarterbacks,

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: one for sure, but I think I think Wilson is

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: definitely on that track here with years um moving and

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: changing teams. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen every day,

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: let alone two of them to do it in the

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: same day, right, And Rogers didn't changed teams, but that

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: domino fell. The domino fell, Yeah, yeah, you know, and

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: maybe Level changed teams as a result. I mean, what's

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: crazy is there really does seem like there's a little

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: bit of a pecking order here that once everyone knows

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: what's going on with Rogers. Then we move on to

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Wilson and boom that got done immediately. There's been a

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: lot of DeShawn Watson talk already. You know, it's Wednesday

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: when we're that's happening, you know, I mean, but there's

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: things that are gonna For the first time ever, there's

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: actually been news on Watson and and then once goes

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: to Washington today, you know, I mean, like it's things

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: are happening quick. Yeah, and it's at quarterback. We've talked

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: about this now for the last three years, man, I know,

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, our first few years of the show, quarterbacks

71
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: didn't change teams all that much. The first life. Yeah,

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean the first you know, the last twenty five

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: years before this, quarterbacks never went anywhere. You were a

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: star quarterback. It was very rare that you changed teams.

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, we're seeing this more

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: and more because of the cost of having one of

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: these guys on your roster. Yeah. I also think they

78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: have a little more power now they go, well, they

79
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: have more they have more leverage because they're making so

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: much money. Yeah, and boy, I mean, what was it

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: last year at this time Adam Schefter saying, I think

82
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: as many as eighteen teams could have new quarterbacks and

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: end up being like fifteen. There won't be as many

84
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: this year, but the shifts are even maybe more seismic.

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: You know that Stafford trade was huge, but the Wilson

86
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: one might even trumpet. And you know the year before that,

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Brady goes from the Patriots to the Bucks. And I'm

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: not saying that the Denver is gonna win the super Bowl,

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: but the Bucks add Brady when the Super Bowl, Ram's

90
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: ad Stafford. When the Super Bowl, Denver ads Wilson, and

91
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: there are much better team they were two days ago?

92
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Are they think because of what the I look at

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: what they gave up. They gave up three starters. Now

94
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: you can talk about Drew lost a lot. Okay, so

95
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: they gave up two starting players, yes, guys who are

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: starters right now. They also gave up their first and

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: second round draft picks this year, right, which we can

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: presume would it would have been two more starters. I

99
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: hear you, right, Okay, I'm fine with that. So I yes,

100
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: they got better at the quarterback position, which is huge.

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's the number one position, but I

102
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: don't know that this automatically put puts them in the

103
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: same conversation with the Chargers in chiefs. I think it does.

104
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with you on that. Well. I mean,

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm judging basing this off of what we

106
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: saw from Russell Wilson last year. And I know he

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: was hurt, but he didn't the last two years. He's

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: not played well in the second half of the season. No,

109
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna preface by staying that as well, because

110
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson probably will go into Hall of Fame and

111
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. I mean, I think that's undeniable.

112
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: But I think he's the third best quarterback in the

113
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a f C West right now. I think Rubert's better

114
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: than he is right now. And I don't think that's

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: a crazy statement. Um, but I do think Denver is

116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender now. And yeah, no A fans

117
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: a good player, but they had Albert oh, you know,

118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I think he was. It doesn't

119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: hurt them that bad. I think Shelby Harris is a

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: really good player that nobody probably knows about. But he's

121
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: a big time locker room leader, you know. A really

122
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: important key and Seattle. Seattle is so weird because they

123
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: don't value draft picks like most teams do. I'm sure

124
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: the players were very important to them because they like

125
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: to turn their draft picks into players. Um, but man,

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: you put Wilson in there. Compared to what they played

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: with lately, throwing the Judy and Sutton and Alberta and Javante,

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a pretty darn good team.

129
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: I don't disagree that. I think they're better, but I

130
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: don't know that they're a Super Bowl contender. That that's

131
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: my Like everybody's automatically penciling them in. Well, look at

132
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: this division. It's okay, only one of them gets the

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: automatic bit into the playoffs. Sure, you know, and they're

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: gonna beat up on each other. I mean, that's the

135
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: other part of the equation. I get it. Denver is

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a tough place to play. Um, you know, so there

137
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: there's there's that as well. Um, but does this does

138
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: this make them better than the Chiefs? No? I don't

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: know about that. No. No. And I still think the

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Bill is the best team in the league. I mean,

141
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: it's we forget about the Raiders. The Raiders made the

142
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: playoffs last year and the Chargers did not. Right, right,

143
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Denver is better than the Chargers

144
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: are not, but I think they're one of the top

145
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: five or six teams in the league. Well, I don't know,

146
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: but I can't I I might agree if you say

147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: top twelve, five or six, that's pretty rich. That's pretty rich.

148
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean Green Bay Rams. Are they

149
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: better than Dallas? Uh? I mean, they're probably like the

150
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Dallas level now, you know, so maybe they're seven or

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: eight something like that during the fire power and they

152
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, but I'll put them there with the Bengals

153
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: or Ravens or you know, the Chargers. Um. The other

154
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: aspect to the Broncos that I haven't seen many people

155
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: talking about since its trade is by trading the players

156
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: they did and bringing in Wilson's base salary, they still

157
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: have like thirty one million in cap space because they're done,

158
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to sign guys because they're not gonna

159
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: have any draft picks. They're gonna come in and help.

160
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so, you're right. Ex the other

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: the other part they had an extra second in the

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: von Miller trade. Right is on Twitter saying, I wonder

163
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: if I get my locker back. You know, so they

164
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: have I must say, in pants in the second rounder

165
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: or spare parts. But they had access in those spots.

166
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: I get it, and it made it makes perfect sense

167
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: in that regard because they did clear some some salary

168
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: cap space. Um, you know. But I think obviously it

169
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: makes him a better team, and that's what they're trying

170
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: to do. And he's again I'm not talking at the

171
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: both sides of my mouth. If you can add Russell

172
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: Wilson to your team, he makes you a better team. Um.

173
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: But I just think that that Hall that they gave up,

174
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: um is massive, uh, you know. And he's you know,

175
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: if you're gonna add guys in free agency, which is

176
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: obviously what they're going to do here. Uh, he gave

177
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: he gave up four premium draft picks to do so.

178
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's costly, it is. And I assume

179
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: that they think that next year's first is twenty year later.

180
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: You know that this makes him a playoff team. I mean,

181
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: you never know those things. But we're also talking in Denver.

182
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: We're also talking about a new coaching staff. Yeah, that

183
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: was one thing I was talking about in the podcast

184
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: today was are they a super Bowl contender? And I said, yes,

185
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't put my money on a rookie head

186
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: coach to take anything to the super Bowl, right, you know,

187
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: I mean I think na Saniel Hacketts a really good

188
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Um, you know I thought there last Yeah,

189
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you're automatically a good head coach.

190
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean that you know, their previous coach was a

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: really good defensive coordinator. Did make you know a great

192
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: head coach? I mean, he was a great coordinator. I heard.

193
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I heard Mike Sando who's in Seattle and foued him

194
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: with the league, but especially with the Seahawks too. And

195
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: after listening to Mike not on the trade, I think

196
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: it's a very good trade for both because what he

197
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: was saying was the relationship in Seattle was over, you know,

198
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: like that they had to move on and part. And

199
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: the crux of it is, and this goes to your

200
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: point that Wilson might not be quite what it used

201
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: to be, is they don't want to give him an

202
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers contract, you know, I mean they don't. They

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: know him better than anybody else, you know, and maybe

204
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: his best days are slightly behind him, and he's the

205
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: seventh best quarterback in the league, not the second, you know,

206
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: And is that a fifty million dollar player? You know? So, Um,

207
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I think what Seattle got back is really interesting. And

208
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you have Locket metcalf Fant catching

209
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: passes from Piket or Willis or there's all kinds of

210
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: de Shawn Watson trade rumors now that that that's his

211
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: landing spot. We'll see. I mean, I don't know how

212
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you've comment on Watson, but Seattle took a big step back.

213
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: But they're not in bad shape right now, right, Yeah,

214
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: I get it from their standpoint. I mean, you can't

215
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: say no to a deal like that. That again, if

216
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: you don't, if you're not convinced that Russell Wilson is

217
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: that guy anymore, really doesn't want to be there, and

218
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, like the relationship has in this has been

219
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years in the making. Now you don't

220
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: want to you don't want to do this every offseason.

221
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Well you know Russell's but I just look at this like,

222
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's surprising, Um, oh, it's surprising. Yeah,

223
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, I just think that I'm just being cautious

224
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: in saying that Russell Wilson um is suddenly gonna make Denver,

225
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, a super Bowl contender here. I think they're

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: I think I put it to I think they're a contender,

227
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: but they're not one of the favorites. Okay, Yeah, I

228
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: mean again, they would probably be my six or seventh

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: team in the league. And if I were doing Super

230
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: Bowl ods and the other aspect of it to you,

231
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: you know. He back your point though, is well, I

232
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: assume going forward, Denver is gonna have to pay him

233
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: the other thing you traded those draft picks away to

234
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: get him. Now you're now you might have to give

235
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: him a new contract this this offseason. That might be

236
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: their first conversation. That might be. That might be he

237
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: might plane, right, he might Yeah, he might get off

238
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: the off the plane and say, hey, I want I

239
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: want more money because well, you just gave up the

240
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: house to get me. Um, you know, I'm I'm knocked

241
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: this out. Yeah, give me four year extension his contract

242
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: right now? I mean he signed a four year, hundred

243
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: forty million dollar contract extension in with Seattle, so he's

244
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: actually going into that year that you probably would have

245
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: started talking contract extension, which is why Seattle did it

246
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: now than then, and Denver now is gonna have to

247
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: be on the hook to make that happen. Yeah, so

248
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: he's under contract next year for twenty two million, he said,

249
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: keep me thrilled with that. No, no, And you're not

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna want him to go into next year being a

251
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: lame duck quarterback. H Yeah. The fact that you probably

252
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: do it now, I would think so, or yeah, you

253
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: probably do it before camp. And I mentioned, you know

254
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of dead money for Seattle, but

255
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: I think he only costs like nineteen million against Denverse cap.

256
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 1: His base salary right now is a nineteen million, and

257
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: they shift about nine million out with Harris and Fans

258
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and some of those guys. But let's say he wants

259
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: another four year, hundred forty million dollar contract, except it's

260
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a hundred and nine except except it's gonna

261
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: be a hundred and sixty millions, right, you know. Now,

262
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's you know, and he's thirty four,

263
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: and he's not the biggest guy, and you know, his

264
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: style of play also is a little bit different life

265
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,600

Speaker 1: there's gonna be some growing pains there. We talked about

278
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: the combine when you know when when Greg Cosell was

279
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: on with us about quarterbacks who escaped backwards not alright,

280
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: not having a lot of success. Well he does it

281
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: runs around, you know, he'll he'll he'll give ground and

282
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: do and do that and then try to make throws

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: as does Patrick Mahomes. Are the two guys that have

284
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: gotten away with it. Can he still do that at

285
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: thirty four and working with a new team. Guys who

286
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: he's not used to working with. Yeah, and the first

287
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: year head coach and all those things in a new environment. Um, yeah,

288
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: it's not without risk. And I find this interesting. I mean,

289
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: how often of you and I quoted that sacks are

290
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: also a quarterback statistic. Well, everyone's talked to Russell's whole life.

291
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: He's had the worst offensive line in the league for

292
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: ten years in a row. Well, maybe he has something

293
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: to do with that as well, A little bit. Yeah,

294
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I A, yeah, I'd like to

295
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: move for Denver. Obviously, it's a big splash, big splash

296
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: move for them, and it's gonna sell tickets. It's gonna

297
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: do that. It makes them a better football team. But

298
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, that's a that was a

299
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: huge price to pay to get that guy, and now

300
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to sign him to a new deal. Yeah,

301
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: that that part's big. I mean, in terms of your

302
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: buying power going forward to surround Russ with things. It

303
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: sounds like this offseason they could go get some more pieces,

304
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: But that's gonna be done, you know, because you're not

305
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a first this year or next year, and

306
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your cap is gonna be a problem.

307
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think he's capable of doing this,

308
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: but over the next four or five years, at a minimum,

309
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: he needs to be a top ten quarterback, maybe a

310
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: top six quarterback to make this, you know, a value move. Yeah,

311
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: I agree. Of course, Rogers staying in Green Bay, Folks,

312
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,359
Speaker 1: there was never ever any thoughts of him coming to Pittsburgh.

313
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: That was not going to happen because there First of all,

314
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: the report that came out that there was already uh,

315
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers and some other teams already had agreements on

316
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: the table where offers on the table to the Packers

317
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: was false. The reports that they had the Steelers had

318
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: negotiated or and other teams had negotiated with with Rogers

319
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: agent was false. You can't talk to another to a

320
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: player who was under contract with another team without that

321
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: team giving you explicit permission to do so. That's tampering. Yeah,

322
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: And if you do that, if you do that, you're

323
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: going to be fined and you're gonna lose draft picks.

324
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: Um you know, because that's just the way it works.

325
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: So you know, that was not in the works at all.

326
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: Um So. But these are the these are the two

327
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: major pieces that had to We had to find out

328
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: what was going to happen with these guys. As you

329
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, it looks like Carson Wentz is headed to Washington. Yeah,

330
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: real quick, on Rogers, I don't know. The latest reports

331
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: right before he signed were Denver, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh are

332
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: all super interested in making offers left and right. I

333
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: don't believe Tennessee was either. I do think Denver Bay

334
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: have been linked rightfully so going back a year now,

335
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, but I don't think Tennessee had anything to

336
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: do with it. I'm sure his agents leaked that. So

337
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: everyone thinks that they're ever banging down the door to

338
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: give them multiple first round picks. And I do think

339
00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: that franchising Davante Adams and presumably extending him him make

340
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: see you know, they're gonna be really tight against the

341
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: cap for after those moves. But there at least the

342
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: team to beat in their division. They've got the best

343
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFC. Yeah, as I said, they might

344
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: be the best them in the Rams to me are

345
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: kind of a two horse race right now in the conference. Yeah. Now,

346
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz going potentially to Washington, that's the deal I

347
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: have the details right here, I was actually looking at

348
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: Scheffer just tweeted it out. So the Colts get a

349
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: third round pick this year, a third round pick next

350
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: year that becomes a second if Wentz plays se of

351
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: the plays, which is similar to the deal that brought

352
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: him to Indie, as well as a second round pick

353
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: this year. It looks like the teams swapped their second

354
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: round picks because the Commander has got a second round

355
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: pick this year too, so I guess they swapped picks

356
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: in the second round, not a big deal, and the

357
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Commander's got Wentz, so basically two thirds that could turn

358
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: into a second. To me, I look at that as

359
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: kind of a I don't know, desperation moved by Indianapolis

360
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: trying to get something in return for your mistake of

361
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: this past year. Grade. I think it was a buyer's market,

362
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: which is really rare for quarterbacks, and they Stilph Willis,

363
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, like you gave up two thirds basically. I

364
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: mean like it's not like, man, I have to be

365
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: out of the quarterback market or whatever. I don't think

366
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: they will. I think once will be there. Yeah, I

367
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: think I think this takes them out of the quarterback

368
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: market ahead of the Steelers. Do you think Seattle is

369
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: in the quarterback market now with that pick that they

370
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: got from Denver? I know this is hot take. Ish,

371
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: I think they're in the DeShawn Watson move. I really

372
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: think he I thought watching would end up in Denver,

373
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: Carolina now. I think just just the way Seattle's can

374
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: instructed their head coach, it's very old head coach in

375
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the league. Does he want to groom Willis or it's

376
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: one of those guys or a rookie quarterback? And more

377
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: so than even Pete Carroll's age, that team doesn't like

378
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: draft picks, you know, Like I feel like they're they

379
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: just don't you know. I feel like they're gathering these

380
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: draft picks to send them to Houston and arm Wilson

381
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: and to Watson and keep Phant and Harris as you know,

382
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: a little cherry on top. Yeah. Um, it's interesting. Um,

383
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: would I have given up that much for Carson Wentz? No? Um,

384
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, he's get it. He's not

385
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback. He's where would you put him the

386
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: top twelve to fourteen? Ish? I think he got a

387
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit of a bum wrap this year and all

388
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: if you look at his his his total season as

389
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: a whole, it was pretty good. It was pretty good,

390
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: but everybody remembers those last two games when they had

391
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: to win one game. Yes, they get into the playoffs,

392
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: and he did not play well, and he did not

393
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and he became you know, and and it's a quarterback thing.

394
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Of course, everything is Carson's fault. And frankly, I forget

395
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: what week and maybe it was fourteen ish he got

396
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: COVID and since then he was pretty bad. I mean,

397
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a turning point. He was

398
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: never great, but he was bad post COVID at the

399
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: end of the year when it mattered most. And I've

400
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: been told by many people, and if anyone watched the

401
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: in season Hard Knocks, he's not vaccinated. He walks around

402
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: with the mask on all the time. And I think

403
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: it made their owner bonkers. Which it would make me

404
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: a little crazy too if I just gave up all

405
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: these picture this guy. He's the leader of the team,

406
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: and then you haven't got COVID in week fifteen or whatever,

407
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: and you don't have vaccinated. And I mean, I'm not

408
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: getting into a political debate here, but he seems matter.

409
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, especially when you're the face of the team,

410
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: the face of the franchise, and you're the core back.

411
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: There's only one you don't have. The backup quarterbacks are

412
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: not nearly as good as you can talk about the

413
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: standard being the standard all you want, but your backup

414
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: quarterback is not going to be as good as your

415
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: as your starter unless you are a really bad football team.

416
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Back to your question, though, I would say he's between

417
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: fifteen and twentieth. Yeah, I mean he's you know, he's

418
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: so for Washington again, that makes sense. I think they

419
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: got a good deal. They got a good deal on it. Um,

420
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: it's not one that I again, two thirds and swapping seconds,

421
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, that was that's not awful. No,

422
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: it's not much, you know. And if if he really

423
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: works out, one of those thirds turns into a second

424
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: next year, which probably means he's a success story. Although

425
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: I would have said the same thing when Philly trade him.

426
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: Yeah a lot, right, Yeah, the team is laughing about

427
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Has to be the Eagles. Oh there's that.

428
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: There's all their first round picks going. We at the

429
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: right time on that one. Yeah, and now we get

430
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: to play I mean, we know more about them than

431
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: anybody else. We get to plan twice here and he's

432
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: still gonna make mistakes. But I mean, I side note

433
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: like my Terry McLaurin fantasy, you know, number prospects just

434
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: went up, as did like Jerry Judy, And you know,

435
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: I do think having a real quarterback there will help

436
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: some of the weapons in Washington. Not that Heinecke was terrible,

437
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously all this brings us back to

438
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers is options are starting to dry up very

439
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: fast right now though you know, well there's there's still

440
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: free agency that's gonna happen next week. Um meumal chairs

441
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: are getting full. I never thought that they would be

442
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: a player in the in the veteran trade market. I

443
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: just didn't. Um. I don't think cousins or you know,

444
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy's a name that keeps getting linked. And we had

445
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: he said surgery. The report is he's still gonna throw

446
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: for sixteen weeks. That's four months. Yeah. Why would you

447
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: want to trade for that guy when he can't throw

448
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: it for four months? Yeah, I mean your doctors would

449
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: have to be very very sure. I mean not you

450
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: almost have to bring him in. Well, I mean every

451
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: trade is dependent upon the physical of course, but I

452
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: would not even had the surgery yet. I think, you know,

453
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: he like today. I think he had it yesterday or

454
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: today because the report was he's gonna be he can't

455
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: throw for for sixteen months or sixteen weeks for a

456
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: long time, especially when you're installing, you know, your offense

457
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,720

459
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: throwing in any o t A s, you're not throwing

460
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,600

00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: be a very routine one and an incoming team might

469
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: be like, he'll be fine. People are, But I mean,

470
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,080
