Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:23,948
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio Good Morning Football.

3
00:00:24,708 --> 00:00:27,028
Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football Live in New York City

4
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:29,348
Speaker 2: and for as much just days the same, many things

5
00:00:29,348 --> 00:00:32,308
Speaker 2: to change. It's mid March. It's the STARTUFE Agency. I'm

6
00:00:32,348 --> 00:00:35,308
Speaker 2: Jamie her at all. There's Kyle Brant, Peter Schegger, Jason mccordy.

7
00:00:35,628 --> 00:00:40,988
Speaker 2: That game we were just remembering Christmas game Patriots at Broncos,

8
00:00:41,548 --> 00:00:44,948
Speaker 2: and it was the unraveling perhaps of the beginning of

9
00:00:44,948 --> 00:00:47,548
Speaker 2: that with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson not

10
00:00:47,588 --> 00:00:49,788
Speaker 2: there anymore, Peter, but you're such good friends as Sean.

11
00:00:49,828 --> 00:00:51,708
Speaker 2: You worked at them for that year on Fox. What's

12
00:00:51,748 --> 00:00:52,348
Speaker 2: going on there?

13
00:00:52,428 --> 00:00:55,348
Speaker 3: This is cleaning house time. Let's do a pure reset

14
00:00:55,508 --> 00:00:58,108
Speaker 3: in Denver. And you're seeing it by trading Jerry Judy

15
00:00:58,188 --> 00:01:00,428
Speaker 3: for a pair of draft picks. You're seeing it by

16
00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:02,708
Speaker 3: getting rid of Russell Wilson and still paying him thirty

17
00:01:02,748 --> 00:01:04,548
Speaker 3: eight million dollars. And I think the one that you

18
00:01:04,588 --> 00:01:07,068
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, Kyle, Justin Simmons, who has been a Walter

19
00:01:07,108 --> 00:01:09,588
Speaker 3: Payton Man of the Year nominee, and all pro to

20
00:01:09,588 --> 00:01:11,988
Speaker 3: say to Justin Simmons like, we just we can't afford

21
00:01:12,028 --> 00:01:13,868
Speaker 3: for what we are right now. We have to cut baits.

22
00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:17,308
Speaker 3: So it is a pure reset in Denver. And they

23
00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:19,068
Speaker 3: do have some young pieces they're excited about, but I

24
00:01:19,108 --> 00:01:21,868
Speaker 3: would look to the draft for them to see start

25
00:01:21,908 --> 00:01:23,748
Speaker 3: loading up on this Sean Payton era. But they gave

26
00:01:23,788 --> 00:01:25,788
Speaker 3: it a year with all those holdovers and it just

27
00:01:25,948 --> 00:01:27,708
Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't what they were looking to do, and especially

28
00:01:27,708 --> 00:01:29,068
Speaker 3: at those numbers.

29
00:01:29,068 --> 00:01:31,508
Speaker 2: Wasn't quite the right fit. That's a free agency is

30
00:01:31,548 --> 00:01:34,148
Speaker 2: all about. Ian Raberbork of Morning to You is finding

31
00:01:34,188 --> 00:01:36,948
Speaker 2: who wants to get paid and where exactly that name

32
00:01:37,028 --> 00:01:39,508
Speaker 2: fits in the locker room. A big news drop last night.

33
00:01:39,748 --> 00:01:42,388
Speaker 2: Let's stick with Russell Wilson and his path to a

34
00:01:42,388 --> 00:01:43,428
Speaker 2: new team in a new city.

35
00:01:43,788 --> 00:01:46,228
Speaker 4: Right, Russell Wilson is going to get paid for the

36
00:01:46,348 --> 00:01:48,868
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four season, but it's not by his new team,

37
00:01:48,868 --> 00:01:52,028
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers Denver Broncos. You guys mentioned it, have

38
00:01:52,148 --> 00:01:54,828
Speaker 4: basically clean house. They're gonna pay him thirty nine million

39
00:01:54,868 --> 00:01:58,348
Speaker 4: dollars guaranteed. Mine is the one point two million dollars

40
00:01:58,388 --> 00:01:59,788
Speaker 4: of salary that the Steelers.

41
00:01:59,468 --> 00:01:59,908
Speaker 5: Are paying him.

42
00:01:59,908 --> 00:02:00,548
Speaker 6: It's the minimum.

43
00:02:00,828 --> 00:02:03,108
Speaker 4: It's maybe the best deal in the NFL for someone

44
00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:06,308
Speaker 4: to come in compete for a starting job and push

45
00:02:06,428 --> 00:02:09,388
Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett in Pittsburg. Russell Wilson announcing this news himself

46
00:02:09,508 --> 00:02:13,028
Speaker 4: last night on Instagram with a very nice video. The

47
00:02:13,108 --> 00:02:15,308
Speaker 4: Steelers now have a quarterback competition, and I see a

48
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:17,508
Speaker 4: lot of things where people like, well, obviously Russell Wilson

49
00:02:17,548 --> 00:02:19,508
Speaker 4: isn't gonna go there unless he's gonna start.

50
00:02:20,068 --> 00:02:20,868
Speaker 6: We will see about that.

51
00:02:21,068 --> 00:02:23,788
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin will make these guys compete, and they will

52
00:02:23,828 --> 00:02:26,068
Speaker 4: make Russell Wilson if he's gonna go out and win it,

53
00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:27,988
Speaker 4: he'll make them actually go out and win it. It

54
00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,268
Speaker 4: is gonna be an intriguing place. It's gonna be a

55
00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:33,428
Speaker 4: great training camp store. And time will tell what Arthur

56
00:02:33,548 --> 00:02:36,788
Speaker 4: Smith that offense and the Pittsburgh Steelers end up looking

57
00:02:36,868 --> 00:02:39,948
Speaker 4: like with Russell Wilson as their quarterback. We still do

58
00:02:40,108 --> 00:02:42,748
Speaker 4: not know if the Minnesota Vikings have their quarterback. They

59
00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,908
Speaker 4: have not yet given up on trying to get Kirk

60
00:02:45,988 --> 00:02:49,308
Speaker 4: Cousins back in the fold for next season and potentially beyond.

61
00:02:49,508 --> 00:02:50,668
Speaker 7: They can have some competition.

62
00:02:50,828 --> 00:02:54,108
Speaker 4: Teams like the Atlanta Falcons are no doubt interested in

63
00:02:54,268 --> 00:02:57,388
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, and when twelve o'clock strikes, if Cousins is

64
00:02:57,428 --> 00:02:58,788
Speaker 4: still out there, if he hasn't done to deal with

65
00:02:58,828 --> 00:03:01,428
Speaker 4: the Vikings, I would expect the Falcons to try to

66
00:03:01,508 --> 00:03:02,428
Speaker 4: work pretty quickly.

67
00:03:02,868 --> 00:03:04,508
Speaker 6: Just don't know which way this is going to go.

68
00:03:04,588 --> 00:03:07,268
Speaker 4: And obviously, if Cousins decides to stay or if he

69
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:10,468
Speaker 4: decides to go, the ramifications for all teams involved is

70
00:03:10,588 --> 00:03:12,148
Speaker 4: extremely significant.

71
00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:14,628
Speaker 7: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don't have to worry about any

72
00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:14,788
Speaker 7: of that.

73
00:03:14,988 --> 00:03:18,668
Speaker 4: They have their quarterback, Baker Mayfield, agree to terms late

74
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:21,428
Speaker 4: yesterday afternoon with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years

75
00:03:21,508 --> 00:03:25,388
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollars gets fifty million dollars guaranteed forty

76
00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:28,668
Speaker 4: million dollars fully so thirty this year, ten next year,

77
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:31,348
Speaker 4: which gives Baker Maye for the opportunity to get at

78
00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:34,948
Speaker 4: least two years in Tampa if all goes well. He's

79
00:03:35,028 --> 00:03:36,668
Speaker 4: been charching for home the last couple of years.

80
00:03:36,748 --> 00:03:38,748
Speaker 7: The belief is that he has now found one.

81
00:03:39,028 --> 00:03:41,308
Speaker 2: All right, rap sheet, Thank you so much, We appreciate you.

82
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,308
Speaker 2: We know this day will be busy for you as

83
00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:47,228
Speaker 2: it unfolds. All right, Russell Wilson, Mike Tomlin This is

84
00:03:47,588 --> 00:03:52,628
Speaker 2: a new, perhaps unforeseen dynamic you didn't see unfolding this offseason.

85
00:03:52,748 --> 00:03:53,748
Speaker 8: But Peter, we are here.

86
00:03:53,908 --> 00:03:56,508
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's getting paid by Denver, but he's in Pittsburgh.

87
00:03:56,668 --> 00:03:58,628
Speaker 7: I think that's the the whole crux of this.

88
00:03:58,828 --> 00:04:01,788
Speaker 3: Look for that cost, which is nothing to Pittsburgh, I

89
00:04:01,828 --> 00:04:03,788
Speaker 3: think it makes a lot of sense. And then you think, like, well,

90
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:05,788
Speaker 3: could Russell be a negative in the locker room.

91
00:04:05,868 --> 00:04:06,748
Speaker 7: I don't think so.

92
00:04:07,308 --> 00:04:09,588
Speaker 3: I think he's been humbled by his price tag, and

93
00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:11,268
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna come in there saying, Okay, I've

94
00:04:11,268 --> 00:04:13,108
Speaker 3: got to win this job against Kenny Pickett, go and

95
00:04:13,228 --> 00:04:16,148
Speaker 3: do all I can. Mike Tomlin knows personalities, he knows chemistry.

96
00:04:16,268 --> 00:04:18,388
Speaker 3: I think the only fear of bringing in a guy

97
00:04:18,468 --> 00:04:21,028
Speaker 3: who is potentially a Pro Football Hall of Famer into

98
00:04:21,108 --> 00:04:23,388
Speaker 3: your locker room is the ego and the can he

99
00:04:23,628 --> 00:04:26,428
Speaker 3: It's all the attentions on him. But like everyone's take today,

100
00:04:26,668 --> 00:04:28,468
Speaker 3: you know around the media is going to be I

101
00:04:28,508 --> 00:04:29,988
Speaker 3: don't know if you want Russell Wilson, but for a

102
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:33,388
Speaker 3: million dollars and thirty eight millions, even like that's humbling.

103
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:33,868
Speaker 7: For Russell Wilson.

104
00:04:33,908 --> 00:04:35,628
Speaker 3: He could put out the fan video and he can

105
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:38,988
Speaker 3: have a publicity storm of his own. But the truth

106
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:41,748
Speaker 3: of the matter is Denver is paying him thirty eight

107
00:04:41,788 --> 00:04:43,068
Speaker 3: million dollars to go away.

108
00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:46,188
Speaker 7: Thirty eight million dollars, and that's just this year.

109
00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:49,308
Speaker 3: They'll pay him next year too, So it's thirty eight

110
00:04:49,348 --> 00:04:52,268
Speaker 3: million dollars to Pittsburgh. It's like, if there's still things

111
00:04:52,308 --> 00:04:54,508
Speaker 3: where like, oh, Russell's weird and Russell's a diva and

112
00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:56,428
Speaker 3: all this stuff, well, then that's a Russell Wilson problem

113
00:04:56,468 --> 00:04:57,988
Speaker 3: and Pittsburgh could easily get rid of him.

114
00:04:58,028 --> 00:05:00,588
Speaker 7: I don't see that being the case in this situation.

115
00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:03,508
Speaker 3: If anything, you want to talk about rewriting a narrative

116
00:05:03,508 --> 00:05:06,028
Speaker 3: on a guy Russell c was in flies commercial in

117
00:05:06,108 --> 00:05:09,428
Speaker 3: from Newark. He meets for six hours selling himself to

118
00:05:09,508 --> 00:05:12,388
Speaker 3: the Steelers. His agent, as we learned, Mark Rodgers, went

119
00:05:12,748 --> 00:05:14,628
Speaker 3: team to team and was like, is there any team

120
00:05:14,668 --> 00:05:16,988
Speaker 3: that's out there that will offer him a second year

121
00:05:17,028 --> 00:05:18,148
Speaker 3: option that will pay him?

122
00:05:18,388 --> 00:05:20,548
Speaker 7: Yeah, there weren't any out there none.

123
00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:24,668
Speaker 3: So Russell comes to Pittsburgh now humble hat in hand,

124
00:05:25,148 --> 00:05:26,988
Speaker 3: maybe with a hard hat in hand, like, let's go

125
00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:30,628
Speaker 3: to work and steel McBean steelely McBean, let's get in

126
00:05:30,708 --> 00:05:33,428
Speaker 3: the coal mines here like a young zoo Lander and

127
00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:37,468
Speaker 3: let's go put this together. I think this situation makes

128
00:05:37,548 --> 00:05:39,828
Speaker 3: it the character and the questions of like how he

129
00:05:39,988 --> 00:05:42,588
Speaker 3: was in Denver and the parking spots and this and

130
00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:44,868
Speaker 3: the personal coaches, like that's all out the window. Rus

131
00:05:44,908 --> 00:05:46,708
Speaker 3: Wilson's football player now trying to make the fifty three

132
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 3: and he's gonna compete with Kenny Pickett. I think he's

133
00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:50,068
Speaker 3: better than Keny Picketts. I think he's gonna start week one.

134
00:05:50,148 --> 00:05:52,188
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope though he actually doesn't show up in

135
00:05:52,188 --> 00:05:53,748
Speaker 1: a helmet like let's you know, I'm like, I'm talking

136
00:05:53,748 --> 00:05:56,108
Speaker 1: about like a coal miner's helmet. It's not Colett steel.

137
00:05:56,188 --> 00:05:58,348
Speaker 1: And also like that would be a way off. You

138
00:05:58,388 --> 00:06:00,428
Speaker 1: don't just show up and just be yourself yourself.

139
00:06:00,508 --> 00:06:02,548
Speaker 7: Yeah, the cringe factor wouldn't be hot at all.

140
00:06:02,668 --> 00:06:04,348
Speaker 8: You don't want that to be himself though, at that point,

141
00:06:04,468 --> 00:06:05,948
Speaker 8: like that's not.

142
00:06:05,988 --> 00:06:08,548
Speaker 9: All I hear you say, they just paid him to

143
00:06:08,628 --> 00:06:10,148
Speaker 9: go away and think your own life. You're like, what

144
00:06:10,348 --> 00:06:12,708
Speaker 9: was somebody like, well, my wife paid for me to

145
00:06:12,868 --> 00:06:15,068
Speaker 9: just go away a different times within life.

146
00:06:15,228 --> 00:06:17,188
Speaker 6: I'm sitting I'm like, if she just had unlimited amount

147
00:06:17,188 --> 00:06:19,228
Speaker 6: of what you just like, just go away. I shore

148
00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:19,628
Speaker 6: hope not.

149
00:06:20,348 --> 00:06:21,988
Speaker 9: She has stuck with me for right now. But I

150
00:06:22,068 --> 00:06:23,588
Speaker 9: look at this and I agree with you. I think

151
00:06:23,668 --> 00:06:26,028
Speaker 9: Russ will be the starter. And I never got a

152
00:06:26,148 --> 00:06:28,308
Speaker 9: chance to play for Mike Tomlin or been around him

153
00:06:28,348 --> 00:06:30,908
Speaker 9: for much time. Have former teammates that did get a chance.

154
00:06:30,988 --> 00:06:33,028
Speaker 9: I remember I played with the guy Cody Centibau, who

155
00:06:33,068 --> 00:06:35,668
Speaker 9: eventually went to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I remember talking

156
00:06:35,668 --> 00:06:37,428
Speaker 9: to him, like, Yo, what's it like playing for Mike T.

157
00:06:37,588 --> 00:06:39,468
Speaker 9: What's the locker room like, the team meetings and all

158
00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:40,908
Speaker 9: of that. He was like, the one thing Mike T

159
00:06:41,108 --> 00:06:43,788
Speaker 9: loves is competition, and he's like, he doesn't hide it,

160
00:06:44,148 --> 00:06:45,548
Speaker 9: talks about he puts it out in front.

161
00:06:45,708 --> 00:06:46,868
Speaker 6: He said, I can remember being there.

162
00:06:46,868 --> 00:06:48,868
Speaker 9: I was competing to be the starting corner opposite I

163
00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:50,628
Speaker 9: think it was Joe Hayden at the time, and he

164
00:06:50,708 --> 00:06:53,028
Speaker 9: said he put both me and the other guy up

165
00:06:53,148 --> 00:06:55,188
Speaker 9: in the team meeting a picture of both of us.

166
00:06:55,468 --> 00:06:57,828
Speaker 6: He said he there's two dogs, there's only one bone.

167
00:06:57,868 --> 00:07:00,468
Speaker 9: Who's going to get it? And he said that's the

168
00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:03,628
Speaker 9: environment that he lives in. We're not hiding behind anything.

169
00:07:03,948 --> 00:07:07,188
Speaker 9: YouTube are both competing for this position, only one of

170
00:07:07,268 --> 00:07:09,548
Speaker 9: you can win it. Who's it gonna be Who's gonna

171
00:07:09,588 --> 00:07:11,508
Speaker 9: show up every single day of training camp.

172
00:07:11,388 --> 00:07:12,748
Speaker 6: And make the necessary plays.

173
00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:15,748
Speaker 9: I love this for Russell Wilson to be able to

174
00:07:15,788 --> 00:07:17,428
Speaker 9: get a chance to go in there and compete with

175
00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:18,188
Speaker 9: Kenny Pickett.

176
00:07:18,428 --> 00:07:19,668
Speaker 6: Also loving for Kenny Pickett.

177
00:07:19,748 --> 00:07:22,228
Speaker 9: This is a young guy that they drafted twentieth overall

178
00:07:22,348 --> 00:07:25,028
Speaker 9: and mister Bisky was the starring quarterback that he took over,

179
00:07:25,308 --> 00:07:27,708
Speaker 9: and he came in last year as the guy didn't

180
00:07:27,708 --> 00:07:28,508
Speaker 9: really go as plan.

181
00:07:28,988 --> 00:07:30,588
Speaker 6: Now you get a guy like Russ next year.

182
00:07:30,668 --> 00:07:32,468
Speaker 9: Yes, you can learn from him, but you're also competing

183
00:07:32,468 --> 00:07:35,548
Speaker 9: against this guy every single day. So the environment that

184
00:07:35,668 --> 00:07:38,268
Speaker 9: is gonna be Thearon Pittsburgh. Kenny Pikett didn't do a

185
00:07:38,308 --> 00:07:40,188
Speaker 9: lot last year. Now you have a guy in Russ

186
00:07:40,268 --> 00:07:41,628
Speaker 9: who's shown through out his career he.

187
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:42,228
Speaker 6: Can do a lot.

188
00:07:42,548 --> 00:07:44,508
Speaker 9: The last two years haven't been pretty in Denver. Last

189
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:46,508
Speaker 9: year was a lot better. So I'm interested to see

190
00:07:46,508 --> 00:07:47,228
Speaker 9: how it all works out.

191
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,388
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how when it gets going in

192
00:07:49,508 --> 00:07:51,388
Speaker 1: camp and everything, like, how does time on handle it?

193
00:07:51,548 --> 00:07:53,948
Speaker 1: Is he announcing a starter, is he saying it's an

194
00:07:53,948 --> 00:07:54,708
Speaker 1: open competition.

195
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:55,628
Speaker 5: I have no idea.

196
00:07:55,668 --> 00:07:57,668
Speaker 1: If he shows Russ shows up and he says, Russ

197
00:07:57,708 --> 00:08:00,828
Speaker 1: will be our starter to what you're saying about two dogs,

198
00:08:00,908 --> 00:08:02,188
Speaker 1: one bone, maybe he won't.

199
00:08:02,268 --> 00:08:05,148
Speaker 5: Maybe the best man will be here. I believe. So listen,

200
00:08:05,388 --> 00:08:07,108
Speaker 5: I've said it already. I think Russell Wilson won the

201
00:08:07,108 --> 00:08:07,668
Speaker 5: power Ball with this.

202
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:10,108
Speaker 1: This is an amazing thing that he is landing not

203
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,708
Speaker 1: only somewhere as a likely starter, but on the Steelers.

204
00:08:12,948 --> 00:08:14,588
Speaker 5: He's gonna be in the playoffs next year. You guys

205
00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:15,028
Speaker 5: know how I do.

206
00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:16,908
Speaker 1: I always blind picked the Steelers to the playoffs. They

207
00:08:16,908 --> 00:08:18,988
Speaker 1: did it last year, they went, and now they have

208
00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,988
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. So I look at like the fan reaction

209
00:08:22,108 --> 00:08:25,548
Speaker 1: because fans, Internet, what every has a lot of opinions

210
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,708
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson. And I think if you're a Steelers

211
00:08:27,748 --> 00:08:29,108
Speaker 1: fan for life and you've been throw all the Super

212
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:31,188
Speaker 1: Bowls and everything, you're saying kind of what everyone's saying,

213
00:08:31,268 --> 00:08:34,788
Speaker 1: like cheap, really cheap. We don't really like Kenny Pickett

214
00:08:34,988 --> 00:08:37,348
Speaker 1: very much and he's probably a better player. I think

215
00:08:37,388 --> 00:08:39,588
Speaker 1: it's a win. Also if you look at all, right,

216
00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:42,028
Speaker 1: so the Steelers fans, first, you know, there was lighting

217
00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:44,748
Speaker 1: torches from at Canada. He's gone, and then the torches

218
00:08:44,828 --> 00:08:46,748
Speaker 1: are coming for Picket and even for Tomlin.

219
00:08:46,788 --> 00:08:48,988
Speaker 5: And a lot of this is they just can't throw touchdowns.

220
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,628
Speaker 1: So there's this incredible thing that Russell Wilson, look at

221
00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:54,628
Speaker 1: the stats, has thrown more touchdowns this past year than

222
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:56,868
Speaker 1: any Steeler has combined in the last two years. So

223
00:08:56,988 --> 00:08:58,988
Speaker 1: this is like this is just last year, all right,

224
00:08:59,388 --> 00:09:01,228
Speaker 1: better this better that look at I mean the thirteen

225
00:09:01,268 --> 00:09:03,308
Speaker 1: and nine it's just bad. Like they we know that

226
00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:05,828
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren is good and Najie Harris runs really hard,

227
00:09:06,148 --> 00:09:08,068
Speaker 1: they've got nothing out of their passing game. Let me

228
00:09:08,188 --> 00:09:10,468
Speaker 1: say it again, Russell Wilson last year threw more touchdown

229
00:09:10,548 --> 00:09:14,148
Speaker 1: passes than any Steelers all combined have the last two years.

230
00:09:14,188 --> 00:09:15,948
Speaker 6: Through twenty five in the last two years.

231
00:09:15,868 --> 00:09:18,868
Speaker 1: And Russ twenty six and that's two seasons. So you're like,

232
00:09:19,068 --> 00:09:21,708
Speaker 1: I think this is good. And also the money thing

233
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:23,668
Speaker 1: is really big. I lets you guys in on my

234
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:27,108
Speaker 1: weekend a little bit. I was gifted. I was gifted

235
00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:31,068
Speaker 1: a two hundred dollars gift card to Uber Ease.

236
00:09:31,308 --> 00:09:34,228
Speaker 5: All Right, when you have a gift card, it's so great.

237
00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:36,428
Speaker 5: You just spend it like it's free money. I ordered.

238
00:09:36,508 --> 00:09:38,828
Speaker 1: I have two hundred dollars sushi meal and I needed

239
00:09:38,868 --> 00:09:40,908
Speaker 1: about seventy dollars of it, but I did just because

240
00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:43,108
Speaker 1: I could. I added the stupidest items. I put a

241
00:09:43,308 --> 00:09:45,948
Speaker 1: huge tip on at the end, someone else's money. Like

242
00:09:46,028 --> 00:09:48,228
Speaker 1: I feel like the Steelers have a gift card in

243
00:09:48,268 --> 00:09:51,268
Speaker 1: the NFL and they're just gonna swipe it for Russell Wilson,

244
00:09:51,268 --> 00:09:53,348
Speaker 1: because why not. Someone else is paying for this really

245
00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:56,148
Speaker 1: expensive thing that I get to enjoy. If the sushi

246
00:09:56,188 --> 00:09:58,028
Speaker 1: shows up and it's gross, I just throw it away

247
00:09:58,228 --> 00:09:59,828
Speaker 1: who cares? Or I give it to my neighbor. I

248
00:09:59,868 --> 00:10:02,148
Speaker 1: don't want it. Feel the same way if Russell shows

249
00:10:02,228 --> 00:10:04,628
Speaker 1: up to Peter Peter, here's the word weird. If he's weird,

250
00:10:04,748 --> 00:10:07,468
Speaker 1: or if he's just not a good player, Tata hi bye.

251
00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:10,028
Speaker 3: I'll also add this, good Morning Football is going to

252
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:11,028
Speaker 3: be in Los Angeles.

253
00:10:11,148 --> 00:10:13,868
Speaker 7: But August, you better believe Russell's going to be playing

254
00:10:13,868 --> 00:10:15,668
Speaker 7: in the preseason. That's what the Steelers do.

255
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:19,148
Speaker 3: Like Picket played in those preseason games, and like Russell's

256
00:10:19,148 --> 00:10:21,708
Speaker 3: gonna have to win that job, so already circle it now.

257
00:10:21,868 --> 00:10:23,828
Speaker 7: Like Steelers preseason games Russell for.

258
00:10:23,908 --> 00:10:27,188
Speaker 3: A drive, picket for a drive, and they're gonna play

259
00:10:27,508 --> 00:10:29,428
Speaker 3: like this isn't gonna be one of the If Tomlin

260
00:10:29,468 --> 00:10:31,068
Speaker 3: had those starters out there last year, he's gonna have

261
00:10:31,108 --> 00:10:32,348
Speaker 3: him out there this year, especially if we don't have

262
00:10:32,348 --> 00:10:32,868
Speaker 3: the quarterback.

263
00:10:33,268 --> 00:10:34,028
Speaker 8: How was your sushi?

264
00:10:34,268 --> 00:10:36,588
Speaker 1: It was fine, but the fact that it was free

265
00:10:36,628 --> 00:10:38,188
Speaker 1: it made it taste like it was amazing. I was

266
00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:40,068
Speaker 1: a French laundry, Peter. It was the best foot I've

267
00:10:40,068 --> 00:10:44,948
Speaker 1: ever had. Unbelievable scenario container somebody else paid for it.

268
00:10:44,988 --> 00:10:46,388
Speaker 5: That was the French laundry was great. I didn't have

269
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:46,668
Speaker 5: to pay.

270
00:10:46,748 --> 00:10:48,188
Speaker 8: How was it you last week? Who was like?

271
00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:52,308
Speaker 2: We blame Seattle brass for hiding Russell Wilson the way

272
00:10:52,348 --> 00:10:53,228
Speaker 2: that they were for years.

273
00:10:53,308 --> 00:10:54,628
Speaker 5: Connor Or wrote that in his column.

274
00:10:54,708 --> 00:10:57,148
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to blame someone, blame Pete Carroll

275
00:10:57,188 --> 00:10:59,108
Speaker 1: Al and everyone in the front office there for being

276
00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:01,588
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's great in a perfect situation with a great

277
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:02,508
Speaker 1: d in the great running game.

278
00:11:02,588 --> 00:11:04,188
Speaker 5: That's why he's as great as he is.

279
00:11:04,388 --> 00:11:06,748
Speaker 2: So I am curious about this fit in the makeup

280
00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,788
Speaker 2: of this team, but also how it applies to Russell

281
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:10,828
Speaker 2: Wilson because Peter you said it like, this could be

282
00:11:10,868 --> 00:11:13,428
Speaker 2: a pitchental Hall of Famer. How badly does Russell Wilson

283
00:11:13,508 --> 00:11:17,188
Speaker 2: need this stop to go? Well to re solidify an

284
00:11:17,308 --> 00:11:20,188
Speaker 2: argument that we had about Russell Wilson coming out of Seattle.

285
00:11:20,428 --> 00:11:22,388
Speaker 2: But frankly, it kind of took a weird turn to Denver.

286
00:11:22,788 --> 00:11:25,708
Speaker 3: I was thinking about that if he had retired after

287
00:11:25,788 --> 00:11:27,468
Speaker 3: fourteen years of the Seahawks, as he go to the

288
00:11:27,508 --> 00:11:30,308
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, no questions. He has nine time Pro bowler,

289
00:11:30,308 --> 00:11:33,268
Speaker 3: he's a Super Bowl champion, and certainly the Denver years

290
00:11:33,308 --> 00:11:34,068
Speaker 3: don't help his case.

291
00:11:34,188 --> 00:11:35,348
Speaker 8: Deluted it, deluted it.

292
00:11:35,508 --> 00:11:37,228
Speaker 3: I think I don't know if he's a no brainer

293
00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:39,188
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer right now based on the numbers.

294
00:11:39,228 --> 00:11:40,588
Speaker 7: He might have it at the end. But that's a

295
00:11:40,628 --> 00:11:41,548
Speaker 7: great question, Jamiane.

296
00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:43,628
Speaker 3: Like we talked about a lot of these different players

297
00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:45,388
Speaker 3: who and Kyle you were great on that last week.

298
00:11:45,468 --> 00:11:47,948
Speaker 3: Kurt Warner like went to the Giants after the Rams

299
00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,828
Speaker 3: and it was like, what the heck, oh Eli's in,

300
00:11:49,908 --> 00:11:50,468
Speaker 3: I guess I'm out.

301
00:11:50,548 --> 00:11:52,948
Speaker 7: Then resurrected his career with that third chapter.

302
00:11:53,148 --> 00:11:55,748
Speaker 3: Then he tested Verty resurrected it with his third chapter,

303
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,068
Speaker 3: like Russ could do.

304
00:11:57,108 --> 00:11:58,628
Speaker 7: I mean if Russ wins with the Steelers. I mean

305
00:11:58,668 --> 00:11:59,148
Speaker 7: he's a legend.

306
00:11:59,348 --> 00:12:01,268
Speaker 6: Yeah, but oh that's so much.

307
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:04,028
Speaker 9: I know, I don't know if he's for you mentioned

308
00:12:04,108 --> 00:12:07,588
Speaker 9: this talking about Hall of Fame all even everybody.

309
00:12:07,508 --> 00:12:09,028
Speaker 1: Listen, if you've seen the Hall of Fame lately, Keny

310
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:10,908
Speaker 1: Picketts in the Hall of Fame like you get in

311
00:12:11,028 --> 00:12:11,428
Speaker 1: if you play.

312
00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:12,548
Speaker 5: It's yeah.

313
00:12:12,868 --> 00:12:14,948
Speaker 1: So waiting for anybody in any show ever to say

314
00:12:14,988 --> 00:12:16,788
Speaker 1: any player is not a Hall of Famer one person.

315
00:12:16,828 --> 00:12:19,628
Speaker 3: That's all old school Hall of Fame debates, you know,

316
00:12:20,108 --> 00:12:22,188
Speaker 3: old school before they opened the gates a little bit.

317
00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:23,868
Speaker 7: I like to say, I don't know if for us

318
00:12:24,028 --> 00:12:25,868
Speaker 7: is first ballot, like.

319
00:12:26,028 --> 00:12:28,348
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I like to say, whatever position you're at,

320
00:12:28,428 --> 00:12:31,668
Speaker 9: throughout your playing career, you were looked at as the

321
00:12:31,948 --> 00:12:34,948
Speaker 9: best or one of the maybe top three at your

322
00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,468
Speaker 9: position while you were playing, to be at least to

323
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:39,468
Speaker 9: be considered for the Hall of Fame. So like you

324
00:12:39,548 --> 00:12:42,388
Speaker 9: look at throughout Russ's time, when you have Brady, you

325
00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:44,868
Speaker 9: have Rogers, you had all these throughout Russ, even when

326
00:12:44,868 --> 00:12:46,148
Speaker 9: he was going to the Pro Bowls and won the

327
00:12:46,188 --> 00:12:49,388
Speaker 9: Super Bowl? Was he one of the best quarterbacks in

328
00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:50,028
Speaker 9: the NFL?

329
00:12:50,148 --> 00:12:50,188
Speaker 10: Not?

330
00:12:50,308 --> 00:12:52,068
Speaker 9: Like all right, he was top ten, No, like one

331
00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:54,268
Speaker 9: of the very best, if you so like to me

332
00:12:54,548 --> 00:12:56,868
Speaker 9: like that is like if you can't find that for

333
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:57,348
Speaker 9: a good.

334
00:12:57,228 --> 00:12:59,548
Speaker 1: Five, sometimes have five. But its like to your point,

335
00:12:59,748 --> 00:13:01,828
Speaker 1: Eli Manning wasn't either. He's getting in the Hall of Fame,

336
00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:02,428
Speaker 1: very true.

337
00:13:02,708 --> 00:13:05,188
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't even think Roethlisberger was in his career.

338
00:13:05,268 --> 00:13:07,068
Speaker 5: He's getting in the Hall of Fame, so people get in.

339
00:13:07,148 --> 00:13:08,068
Speaker 5: He'll get in, he'll get it.

340
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:10,788
Speaker 1: But like if this is a disaster and this just

341
00:13:10,868 --> 00:13:13,068
Speaker 1: doesn't work and like crap, he loses a job to

342
00:13:13,148 --> 00:13:14,828
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett or they just don't win, and you go

343
00:13:14,868 --> 00:13:16,948
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh, who always wins, then you have Denver and

344
00:13:16,988 --> 00:13:18,628
Speaker 1: then you have Pittsburgh, then it really is a big

345
00:13:18,708 --> 00:13:19,228
Speaker 1: vote against it.

346
00:13:19,308 --> 00:13:21,748
Speaker 7: Do you think they're pulling the plug on Kenny Pickett

347
00:13:21,828 --> 00:13:23,628
Speaker 7: too soon? Like, do you guys think that he did

348
00:13:23,708 --> 00:13:24,268
Speaker 7: a strong pick?

349
00:13:24,548 --> 00:13:27,308
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was also very took him to the playoffs,

350
00:13:27,548 --> 00:13:30,148
Speaker 3: you know last year. No, Mason Rudolf kind of.

351
00:13:30,148 --> 00:13:32,388
Speaker 9: Kept Yeah, Well what you said about Mac is I

352
00:13:32,388 --> 00:13:34,788
Speaker 9: guess the NFL is hard, Like you've had opportunities.

353
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:35,948
Speaker 6: Pig has been out there and.

354
00:13:35,988 --> 00:13:37,748
Speaker 7: He wasn't very good last year. Right, like he took

355
00:13:37,788 --> 00:13:39,108
Speaker 7: a step back thirteen those numbers.

356
00:13:39,148 --> 00:13:41,188
Speaker 6: He didn't throw interceptions, but they didn't do much.

357
00:13:41,268 --> 00:13:43,388
Speaker 2: I'm actually wondering how this all comes whole circle to

358
00:13:43,468 --> 00:13:46,108
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin in his time in Pittsburgh, because there was

359
00:13:46,188 --> 00:13:49,868
Speaker 2: a minute last year where Pickett wasn't great, the offense

360
00:13:50,028 --> 00:13:52,468
Speaker 2: was not good, and fans were like, Tomlin, what are

361
00:13:52,508 --> 00:13:53,068
Speaker 2: we doing here?

362
00:13:53,428 --> 00:13:55,188
Speaker 8: Are you just gonna limp into the playoffs again?

363
00:13:55,228 --> 00:13:57,548
Speaker 2: It's cool to have a winning season, and that record's

364
00:13:57,588 --> 00:13:59,908
Speaker 2: all well and good, like, how are we going to

365
00:14:00,028 --> 00:14:01,108
Speaker 2: push beyond this?

366
00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:03,268
Speaker 8: Like sexy over five hundred record?

367
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:04,988
Speaker 2: And I even think there were was a report that

368
00:14:05,108 --> 00:14:09,668
Speaker 2: like do you trade Tomlin because there is a fresh concept,

369
00:14:09,828 --> 00:14:11,708
Speaker 2: Like how much is Tomlin trying to be? Like I

370
00:14:11,788 --> 00:14:14,868
Speaker 2: need to find a solution here offensively because well, we'll

371
00:14:14,908 --> 00:14:16,228
Speaker 2: see Rube.

372
00:14:16,548 --> 00:14:19,108
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I remember vividly we all do. Two years

373
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:20,908
Speaker 1: ago Broncos found their solution too, and this is it

374
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,348
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna throw a bunch of money at

375
00:14:22,348 --> 00:14:23,228
Speaker 1: a huge star and we're going.

376
00:14:23,108 --> 00:14:23,668
Speaker 5: To the super Bowl.

377
00:14:23,828 --> 00:14:26,108
Speaker 1: It did not work out whatsoever, But listen, you go

378
00:14:26,148 --> 00:14:27,508
Speaker 1: out to a Steelers fan and say, hey, you know,

379
00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:29,988
Speaker 1: Tomlin's never blowed five hundred. They will jump kick you

380
00:14:30,028 --> 00:14:31,748
Speaker 1: in the face. They're so sick of hearing that one here.

381
00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:33,708
Speaker 5: And I get it. I get it's completely No one.

382
00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:35,948
Speaker 3: Bought into the Russ hype in Denver more than me.

383
00:14:36,028 --> 00:14:39,108
Speaker 3: It was coming fresh off to Tom Brady and and

384
00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:39,988
Speaker 3: when Stafford did.

385
00:14:39,908 --> 00:14:40,508
Speaker 7: It and I went all in.

386
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:42,348
Speaker 3: I said, Russell is gonna be MVP with Nate hack

387
00:14:42,388 --> 00:14:43,348
Speaker 3: getting Hackett was gonna be.

388
00:14:43,308 --> 00:14:43,748
Speaker 7: Coaching the year.

389
00:14:44,028 --> 00:14:46,068
Speaker 3: Then I doubled down last year and was like, Sean

390
00:14:46,108 --> 00:14:47,708
Speaker 3: Payn's gonna be coached the year because he's gonna get

391
00:14:47,708 --> 00:14:48,628
Speaker 3: the best out of Russell Wilson.

392
00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:51,348
Speaker 7: So fool me once, fool me twice. If anyone has

393
00:14:51,428 --> 00:14:52,268
Speaker 7: been all in on Russ the.

394
00:14:52,228 --> 00:14:53,748
Speaker 6: Past year, I can't wait to see your pick.

395
00:14:53,908 --> 00:14:55,788
Speaker 7: So let's see what happens with Tomlin coach of the

396

Speaker 1: We love having you, especially since dude, you turn heads,

419
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,148
Speaker 1: you turn hands. In indian a couple of weeks ago

420
00:16:09,188 --> 00:16:12,308
Speaker 1: at the Combine, the gizarre of the Combine. Daniel Jeremiah,

421
00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:15,468
Speaker 1: our colleague. You were his biggest riser, number one on

422
00:16:15,588 --> 00:16:18,828
Speaker 1: his top fifty after the Combine, So, in other words,

423
00:16:18,988 --> 00:16:21,308
Speaker 1: you crushed it. How do you feel about everything, how

424
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:22,428
Speaker 1: everything went in Indianapolis?

425
00:16:22,628 --> 00:16:24,468
Speaker 12: Yeah, I feel like the Combine was a great opportunity

426
00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:26,388
Speaker 12: for myself. I just wanted to go out there and

427
00:16:26,468 --> 00:16:29,228
Speaker 12: show my explosiveness. I feel like I did just that

428
00:16:29,868 --> 00:16:31,668
Speaker 12: even though I feel like I could run a little

429
00:16:31,668 --> 00:16:34,188
Speaker 12: bit faster my forty time, I feel like I was

430
00:16:34,228 --> 00:16:35,188
Speaker 12: able to get a lot out of it.

431
00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:37,948
Speaker 6: So I love that. And you ran a four four

432
00:16:38,068 --> 00:16:39,708
Speaker 6: one to oh, that's plenty fast enough.

433
00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,468
Speaker 9: You jumped well, you did everything great at the combine

434
00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:44,668
Speaker 9: and when you turn your film all an elite route

435
00:16:44,748 --> 00:16:46,748
Speaker 9: runner at that. As you look at your game and

436
00:16:46,788 --> 00:16:49,388
Speaker 9: you evaluate yourself, what would you say is the strongest

437
00:16:49,388 --> 00:16:50,708
Speaker 9: part of your game as a wide receiver.

438
00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:53,908
Speaker 12: Yeah, I feel like my versatility is one of my

439
00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:56,108
Speaker 12: strong suits, being able to play outside, being able to

440
00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:59,108
Speaker 12: play inside. I think another thing is my detailed miss

441
00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:00,868
Speaker 12: you know, throughout the week working, I feel like I'm

442
00:17:00,908 --> 00:17:03,388
Speaker 12: a detailed worker and that kind of just comes with

443
00:17:03,468 --> 00:17:05,948
Speaker 12: all the route running stuff too, just detailed my route

444
00:17:05,988 --> 00:17:07,988
Speaker 12: running game and how I study film. So I think

445
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:08,828
Speaker 12: that all plays apart.

446
00:17:09,508 --> 00:17:12,788
Speaker 3: Ricky, what's up man, big fan of yours And before

447
00:17:12,828 --> 00:17:15,148
Speaker 3: the Combine I was talking about you and I got

448
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:18,428
Speaker 3: to give credit to our producer Sean Coppolakis, who works

449
00:17:18,548 --> 00:17:20,948
Speaker 3: at the NFL Network, and was like all season long, like,

450
00:17:20,988 --> 00:17:24,028
Speaker 3: are you watching Ricky Piersoll, are you seeing what's doing?

451
00:17:24,388 --> 00:17:27,148
Speaker 3: And then he actually had that incredible COMBA week, But

452
00:17:27,228 --> 00:17:28,748
Speaker 3: I got to go back to one of my favorite

453
00:17:28,868 --> 00:17:32,188
Speaker 3: catches of the entire seasons. You guys against Charlotte last year.

454
00:17:32,228 --> 00:17:35,628
Speaker 3: You know where I'm going, the one handed grab. Can

455
00:17:35,668 --> 00:17:37,668
Speaker 3: you take us through this play? And this is your

456
00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:41,108
Speaker 3: Odell Beckham moment? What exactly was going through your mind?

457
00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:43,868
Speaker 3: And then after you brought it down, how shocked or

458
00:17:43,908 --> 00:17:46,348
Speaker 3: maybe how not surprised you were that you held on

459
00:17:46,508 --> 00:17:46,948
Speaker 3: for this one.

460
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:48,588
Speaker 12: No, for sure, it wasn't that thing that I was

461
00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:50,188
Speaker 12: thinking about before the play. Oh yeah, I'm gonna go

462
00:17:50,188 --> 00:17:52,188
Speaker 12: over with one hand and catch it. But we had

463
00:17:52,228 --> 00:17:54,268
Speaker 12: a team read and they had a middle closed look

464
00:17:54,348 --> 00:17:57,028
Speaker 12: one high, and they were runna cover three, and I

465
00:17:57,068 --> 00:17:59,228
Speaker 12: knew I had to keep my scene vertical, so I

466
00:17:59,268 --> 00:18:00,948
Speaker 12: did that. Graham put the ball up in the air,

467
00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:02,828
Speaker 12: and I knew I just had to go up there

468
00:18:02,828 --> 00:18:04,748
Speaker 12: and make a play. I will say, when the ball

469
00:18:04,788 --> 00:18:06,228
Speaker 12: was in there, I was thinking, I'm gonna out here

470
00:18:06,268 --> 00:18:07,228
Speaker 12: with one hand and go get it.

471
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:08,268
Speaker 5: So I did just that.

472
00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:11,748
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, but then there's catching it with one hand.

473
00:18:11,828 --> 00:18:13,668
Speaker 2: But then it really seems like you made a business

474
00:18:13,748 --> 00:18:16,268
Speaker 2: decision to not bring the other hand to be involved.

475
00:18:16,308 --> 00:18:16,748
Speaker 8: Whatsoever.

476
00:18:16,868 --> 00:18:18,428
Speaker 2: And You're just like, I'm a pro and I'm just

477
00:18:18,508 --> 00:18:20,548
Speaker 2: gonna maintain this ball with one hand.

478
00:18:20,748 --> 00:18:22,748
Speaker 8: Did you do that on purpose or was that just

479
00:18:22,828 --> 00:18:24,908
Speaker 8: part of being tackled or whatnot, because that is skill

480
00:18:25,028 --> 00:18:25,668
Speaker 8: in and of itself.

481
00:18:26,028 --> 00:18:27,348
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what got into me.

482
00:18:27,468 --> 00:18:28,668
Speaker 12: I just knew the ball was in the air and

483
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:30,708
Speaker 12: I had to go get it. And when the ball

484
00:18:30,828 --> 00:18:32,268
Speaker 12: is lofted, I was like, go up and make a

485
00:18:32,308 --> 00:18:34,828
Speaker 12: legendary play. So I did just that, and then obviously

486
00:18:34,868 --> 00:18:36,628
Speaker 12: I took a hit too, So I was just thinking

487
00:18:36,668 --> 00:18:38,868
Speaker 12: get up. And my dad was fourth row on the fiftie.

488
00:18:38,948 --> 00:18:40,668
Speaker 12: So when I got up out staying right at him,

489
00:18:40,668 --> 00:18:42,228
Speaker 12: and he was going crazy, so hyped me up a

490
00:18:42,228 --> 00:18:42,548
Speaker 12: little bit.

491
00:18:42,868 --> 00:18:43,588
Speaker 6: Hell, that's awesome.

492
00:18:44,188 --> 00:18:44,748
Speaker 8: That's awesome.

493
00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:45,068
Speaker 11: Right.

494
00:18:45,468 --> 00:18:46,828
Speaker 8: Dad's been watching you for a long time.

495
00:18:46,948 --> 00:18:48,828
Speaker 2: He watched you go to Florida after you spend three

496
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:51,228
Speaker 2: seasons at Arizona State. You were catching balls at the

497
00:18:51,228 --> 00:18:54,028
Speaker 2: time from jayde and Daniels. Now, because of college football,

498
00:18:54,068 --> 00:18:56,788
Speaker 2: you guys go your different directions. Jadan Daniels projected to

499
00:18:56,828 --> 00:18:58,828
Speaker 2: go somewhere in the top three in this year's draft

500
00:18:58,868 --> 00:18:59,548
Speaker 2: in late April.

501
00:18:59,908 --> 00:19:02,108
Speaker 8: What was it like playing with him? And why is

502
00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:03,588
Speaker 8: he a great guy to have it on any team?

503
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:05,348
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was on a to play with him. Really,

504
00:19:06,028 --> 00:19:08,628
Speaker 12: Like everybody knows he's a talented kid, talented player. I

505
00:19:08,708 --> 00:19:10,748
Speaker 12: knew that since he was a freshman coming at ASU,

506
00:19:11,308 --> 00:19:13,188
Speaker 12: and just to see what he's accomplished, you know, I'm

507
00:19:13,188 --> 00:19:15,468
Speaker 12: super proud of him. I just was super impressive his

508
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:19,428
Speaker 12: boys ever since he got into college football, and I

509
00:19:19,508 --> 00:19:21,308
Speaker 12: think I just want to highlight just how good of

510
00:19:21,348 --> 00:19:22,588
Speaker 12: a friend he is to me and how good of

511
00:19:22,668 --> 00:19:24,388
Speaker 12: your team it is to me. We still communicate to

512
00:19:24,428 --> 00:19:26,548
Speaker 12: this day, so you know, whoever gets him is gonna

513
00:19:26,548 --> 00:19:26,988
Speaker 12: be really lucky.

514
00:19:27,428 --> 00:19:28,668
Speaker 6: That's really cool of you to say.

515
00:19:28,748 --> 00:19:30,668
Speaker 5: I love that, and I think you're right. You also

516
00:19:30,788 --> 00:19:31,788
Speaker 5: mentioned your dad.

517
00:19:32,228 --> 00:19:35,188
Speaker 1: We're talking about Ricky Senior, and as the story goes,

518
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:37,588
Speaker 1: he taught you how to catch when you were two

519
00:19:37,668 --> 00:19:40,668
Speaker 1: years old. Tell us about what you remember of growing

520
00:19:40,748 --> 00:19:42,668
Speaker 1: up and learning football as a little kid.

521
00:19:43,308 --> 00:19:45,508
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's really the reason why I love the score.

522
00:19:45,628 --> 00:19:47,428
Speaker 12: He introduced it to me at a young age, and

523
00:19:47,508 --> 00:19:49,108
Speaker 12: there's like a little story that came out where he

524
00:19:49,228 --> 00:19:50,908
Speaker 12: was feeding me skittles each time I caught the ball.

525
00:19:50,988 --> 00:19:53,348
Speaker 12: So that just shows you know how much work he

526
00:19:53,428 --> 00:19:55,588
Speaker 12: put into me, and you know, I can't thank him enough.

527
00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:57,308
Speaker 12: Everything I know really in the game of football is

528
00:19:57,308 --> 00:19:58,668
Speaker 12: because of him, and I owe it all to him.

529
00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:00,908
Speaker 12: So being able to get back to him and get

530
00:20:00,948 --> 00:20:03,228
Speaker 12: back to myself throughout this process is really important to me.

531
00:20:03,668 --> 00:20:06,268
Speaker 9: I love that I'm picturing two year old Ricky catching

532
00:20:06,308 --> 00:20:07,548
Speaker 9: a pass and then grabbing.

533
00:20:07,268 --> 00:20:08,388
Speaker 6: A red skill throwing it in.

534
00:20:08,628 --> 00:20:08,908
Speaker 5: Let's go.

535
00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:10,788
Speaker 6: I glet you all the way to here.

536
00:20:11,068 --> 00:20:13,428
Speaker 9: Where we're six weeks away from the NFL Draft, and

537
00:20:13,468 --> 00:20:16,468
Speaker 9: the beauty of this show is on in every building.

538
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:19,028
Speaker 9: All thirty two teams are watching us right now. I

539
00:20:19,148 --> 00:20:21,948
Speaker 9: want you to tell whichever team is tuned in listening

540
00:20:22,028 --> 00:20:24,748
Speaker 9: sitting down in the cafeteria something right now, why they

541
00:20:24,788 --> 00:20:26,028
Speaker 9: should draft Ricky Piersol.

542
00:20:26,468 --> 00:20:28,508
Speaker 12: Yeah, for sure. I just want to start my competitiveness.

543
00:20:28,588 --> 00:20:31,068
Speaker 12: I feel like I compete on a daily and you know,

544
00:20:31,108 --> 00:20:32,468
Speaker 12: I'm a winner. I want to win at the end

545
00:20:32,468 --> 00:20:33,948
Speaker 12: of the day, so I feel like I'll help a

546
00:20:33,988 --> 00:20:36,428
Speaker 12: team win come right away and you know, be to

547
00:20:36,508 --> 00:20:38,348
Speaker 12: come into the building and compete. And I feel like

548
00:20:38,428 --> 00:20:41,148
Speaker 12: I've already been operating like a pro even since day one,

549
00:20:41,348 --> 00:20:43,268
Speaker 12: so I'm a pro before I even became a pro,

550
00:20:43,388 --> 00:20:44,828
Speaker 12: and I feel like that's why I team should come

551
00:20:44,868 --> 00:20:46,708
Speaker 12: get me. You know, even off the few to operate,

552
00:20:46,748 --> 00:20:48,588
Speaker 12: the pro and the work that I put in, it's

553
00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:49,908
Speaker 12: just like a pro. So I feel like that's the

554
00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:50,948
Speaker 12: reason why you should come get me.

555
00:20:51,428 --> 00:20:53,588
Speaker 5: It's a great reason. I had another reason here, a

556
00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:54,948
Speaker 5: little television reason. Guys.

557
00:20:55,068 --> 00:20:57,588
Speaker 1: Ricky right now is holding his phone and he has

558
00:20:57,668 --> 00:21:00,668
Speaker 1: for the whole interview. That thing hasn't bounced once. This

559
00:21:00,828 --> 00:21:03,948
Speaker 1: is the steadiest damn hands I have ever seen, Ricky.

560
00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:06,308
Speaker 1: If you play like you hold that phone.

561
00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:06,788
Speaker 6: You're Jered Rice.

562
00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:11,268
Speaker 5: It's over. Get him the first. Overall Ricky pearsal go

563
00:21:11,428 --> 00:21:11,828
Speaker 5: get them.

564
00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:12,708
Speaker 1: Yeah.

565
00:21:14,388 --> 00:21:16,708
Speaker 5: I like Ricky luck.

566
00:21:16,748 --> 00:21:17,428
Speaker 8: We appreciate it.

567
00:21:18,508 --> 00:21:23,188
Speaker 2: Tom Pilsaro joining us now native of Minnesota, covers the league,

568
00:21:23,228 --> 00:21:26,628
Speaker 2: though in its entirety. Yet all eyes back on Minnesota

569
00:21:26,708 --> 00:21:29,028
Speaker 2: this morning as the Vikings are in the conversation in

570
00:21:29,108 --> 00:21:31,988
Speaker 2: terms of Kirk Cousins' future with the Vikings. As he

571
00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:34,348
Speaker 2: checks his phone, if he has to tweet something or

572
00:21:34,428 --> 00:21:35,668
Speaker 2: let us know breaking news.

573
00:21:35,788 --> 00:21:38,748
Speaker 8: We'll take it. But what's the latest with Kirk this morning?

574
00:21:39,868 --> 00:21:42,508
Speaker 10: Afformative No toall my friends and family. Now is not

575
00:21:42,628 --> 00:21:45,828
Speaker 10: the time to send funny jiffs. The Vikings remain in

576
00:21:45,988 --> 00:21:50,228
Speaker 10: communication with Kirk Cousins, but at this point, a couple

577
00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:54,108
Speaker 10: hours before the negotiating window begins, the expectation is the

578
00:21:54,348 --> 00:21:58,468
Speaker 10: four time Pro Bowl quarterback we'll test the free agent market.

579
00:21:58,708 --> 00:22:01,948
Speaker 10: There's a real possibility Cousins has played his final down

580
00:22:02,228 --> 00:22:05,428
Speaker 10: in Minnesota. Now, let's be clear here, the Vikings are

581
00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:09,628
Speaker 10: still in it. However, the Falcons are expected to make

582
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:12,668
Speaker 10: a strong push for Kirk Cousins. There are other teams

583
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:15,388
Speaker 10: such as the Broncos, who are going to monitor and

584
00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:19,508
Speaker 10: potentially could get involved at some point. Expect a decision

585
00:22:19,548 --> 00:22:22,788
Speaker 10: to me be made very quickly here. Assuming that the

586
00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,748
Speaker 10: offer is right, I would anticipate that this deal for

587
00:22:25,828 --> 00:22:28,468
Speaker 10: Kirk Cousins is going to be worth upwards of forty

588
00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:31,948
Speaker 10: million dollars per year. The structure is also going to

589
00:22:32,028 --> 00:22:36,468
Speaker 10: be really important, particularly the future guaranteed money for a

590
00:22:36,668 --> 00:22:42,348
Speaker 10: player who has played nine consecutive years on fully guaranteed contracts.

591
00:22:42,548 --> 00:22:44,908
Speaker 10: Another big name that we will be watching today as

592
00:22:44,948 --> 00:22:49,508
Speaker 10: the negotiating window opens is Giants running back Saquon Barkley,

593
00:22:49,548 --> 00:22:53,828
Speaker 10: who is expected to have a strong market in free agency. Now,

594
00:22:54,108 --> 00:22:56,708
Speaker 10: the Giants have been trying for over a year to

595
00:22:56,828 --> 00:23:00,548
Speaker 10: sign Saquon Barkley to a long term extension. Hard to imagine,

596
00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:02,788
Speaker 10: even in this marketplace. For the two hundred and fifty

597
00:23:02,828 --> 00:23:05,548
Speaker 10: five million dollars salary cap, Barkley is going to get

598
00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:08,388
Speaker 10: more money than he turned down just about one year

599
00:23:08,468 --> 00:23:11,028
Speaker 10: ago from the Giants before they ended up applying the

600
00:23:11,108 --> 00:23:13,828
Speaker 10: franchise tag on him. There are a bunch of teams

601
00:23:13,868 --> 00:23:16,388
Speaker 10: though that they're in the veteran running back market. The

602
00:23:16,468 --> 00:23:20,108
Speaker 10: list of teams includes the Ravens, the Titans, the Texans,

603
00:23:20,228 --> 00:23:24,628
Speaker 10: and the NFC East rival Eagles. Saquon grew up about

604
00:23:24,628 --> 00:23:27,988
Speaker 10: an hour outside of Philadelphia. He starred at Penn State.

605
00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:31,628
Speaker 10: Keep an eye on the Eagles as a potential suitor

606
00:23:31,868 --> 00:23:34,548
Speaker 10: for Saquon Barkley among other running backs.

607
00:23:34,668 --> 00:23:37,468
Speaker 5: One big name that already came off the board over.

608
00:23:37,348 --> 00:23:41,028
Speaker 10: The weekend is the Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones,

609
00:23:41,068 --> 00:23:45,348
Speaker 10: who returns to Kansas City on a monster deal five

610
00:23:45,428 --> 00:23:48,188
Speaker 10: years over one hundred and fifty eight million dollars, including

611
00:23:48,388 --> 00:23:51,748
Speaker 10: one hundred million dollars in guarantees at thirty one point

612
00:23:51,828 --> 00:23:55,108
Speaker 10: seventy five million dollar average, makes Jones the highest paid

613
00:23:55,388 --> 00:23:58,308
Speaker 10: defensive tackle in NFL history.

614
00:23:58,588 --> 00:24:00,588
Speaker 5: The Chiefs made this a priority.

615
00:24:00,628 --> 00:24:03,588
Speaker 10: Even with all the money they've got invested in their quarterback,

616
00:24:03,788 --> 00:24:06,268
Speaker 10: the way that they need to potentially upgrade the offense

617
00:24:06,308 --> 00:24:08,748
Speaker 10: for the offseason, this was too important.

618
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:11,308
Speaker 5: They did what it took and kept Chris Jones in

619
00:24:11,428 --> 00:24:12,028
Speaker 5: Kansas City.

620
00:24:12,148 --> 00:24:14,548
Speaker 2: Guys, it was well Deserved's cool to see the Chiefs

621
00:24:14,588 --> 00:24:17,028
Speaker 2: defense be able to keep Spagnola there and now Chris

622
00:24:17,148 --> 00:24:19,148
Speaker 2: Jones and onward they go with Kansas City.

623
00:24:19,228 --> 00:24:19,988
Speaker 8: Tom, thank you so much.

624
00:24:20,028 --> 00:24:22,228
Speaker 2: Get back to your phone, please, another mega deal over

625
00:24:22,268 --> 00:24:25,068
Speaker 2: the weekend. It's Jones, It's Kansas City. It's a match

626
00:24:25,108 --> 00:24:27,348
Speaker 2: made in heaven at least for five more years. Big

627
00:24:27,428 --> 00:24:29,868
Speaker 2: piece coming back to the Chiefs defense and the image

628
00:24:29,908 --> 00:24:32,188
Speaker 2: that he tweeted before he went into the Weekend Jason

629
00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:34,508
Speaker 2: was that of Andy Reid lying on top of him

630
00:24:34,548 --> 00:24:37,588
Speaker 2: celebrating another Super Bowl and now they can both be

631
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:39,108
Speaker 2: celebrating because Chris jianals got paid.

632
00:24:39,268 --> 00:24:41,188
Speaker 9: So cool and we talked about it on this show.

633
00:24:41,228 --> 00:24:42,908
Speaker 9: I said, Peter said, I of Chris Jones. He's a

634
00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:45,348
Speaker 9: Hall of Famer right now and a huge piece of

635
00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:48,388
Speaker 9: this Kansas City Chiefs dynasty that they've built. And the

636
00:24:48,428 --> 00:24:50,668
Speaker 9: cool thing about when you look at his contract is

637
00:24:50,748 --> 00:24:52,628
Speaker 9: not a big capit this first year, so they're going

638
00:24:52,668 --> 00:24:54,268
Speaker 9: to also be able to do other things in free

639
00:24:54,268 --> 00:24:56,748
Speaker 9: agency to get other guys there. But I just think

640
00:24:56,788 --> 00:24:59,748
Speaker 9: about this journey that we've been on over the last

641
00:24:59,788 --> 00:25:01,668
Speaker 9: year for Chris Jones. You go back to that first

642
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,828
Speaker 9: game of the season against the Detroit Lines where he's

643
00:25:05,148 --> 00:25:06,988
Speaker 9: not playing in the game. He's up in the sands

644
00:25:07,028 --> 00:25:09,308
Speaker 9: and he's sitting with his two agents and we're figuring

645
00:25:09,348 --> 00:25:11,908
Speaker 9: out they couldn't get anything worked out. Is he gonna

646
00:25:11,988 --> 00:25:13,588
Speaker 9: end up playing this year? He's gonna up setting Now

647
00:25:13,708 --> 00:25:16,308
Speaker 9: what's going to happen with Chris Jones.

648
00:25:16,468 --> 00:25:17,708
Speaker 6: They ended up losing this game.

649
00:25:17,788 --> 00:25:20,308
Speaker 9: He didn't play, Travis Kelsey didn't play due to injury,

650
00:25:20,588 --> 00:25:23,108
Speaker 9: and it's just like they need Chris Jones out there.

651
00:25:23,308 --> 00:25:25,708
Speaker 6: He is a difference maker for them on defense.

652
00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:28,068
Speaker 9: And you fast forward from this point the first game

653
00:25:28,108 --> 00:25:29,948
Speaker 9: of the season where they ended up losing, to the

654
00:25:30,068 --> 00:25:32,068
Speaker 9: roller coaster ride that they went on throughout the season,

655
00:25:32,108 --> 00:25:35,228
Speaker 9: which ultimately ended up with them hoisting and Lobardi in

656
00:25:35,308 --> 00:25:37,748
Speaker 9: the air again where Chris Jones, like you said, Andy

657
00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:41,028
Speaker 9: Reid laying on top of him celebrating winning another Super

658
00:25:41,068 --> 00:25:43,388
Speaker 9: Bowl and it's a big piece bevery They felt like

659
00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:46,068
Speaker 9: Chris Jones was worth this. He reset the market. They

660
00:25:46,188 --> 00:25:48,708
Speaker 9: traded away Tyreek Hill in order to not pay him,

661
00:25:48,868 --> 00:25:50,548
Speaker 9: and is the guy Chris Jones that they decided to

662
00:25:50,588 --> 00:25:51,108
Speaker 9: pay and keep.

663
00:25:51,148 --> 00:25:54,988
Speaker 3: The five years, one hundred and fifty eight point seventy

664
00:25:55,108 --> 00:25:59,508
Speaker 3: five million dollars, sixty million dollars guaranteed at signing. That's

665
00:25:59,588 --> 00:26:02,628
Speaker 3: in signing, bining bonus, and the salary compensation of all

666
00:26:02,668 --> 00:26:05,148
Speaker 3: the non quarterbacks in the League's now the second highest

667
00:26:05,268 --> 00:26:07,868
Speaker 3: non paid quarterback in the league, Nick Bosa's number one.

668
00:26:08,068 --> 00:26:10,108
Speaker 3: I think to your point, the Cats brothers, you know,

669
00:26:10,148 --> 00:26:12,548
Speaker 3: we always roll our eyes when people mention agents like

670
00:26:12,628 --> 00:26:15,108
Speaker 3: they were part of the story here, because they encourage

671
00:26:15,188 --> 00:26:17,308
Speaker 3: Chris to actually bet on himself in this situation.

672
00:26:17,428 --> 00:26:19,908
Speaker 7: He hit all the incentives. You can show him again.

673
00:26:20,268 --> 00:26:22,988
Speaker 7: And Jason and Michael Katz are two brothers. This is

674
00:26:23,028 --> 00:26:23,468
Speaker 7: their client.

675
00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:24,348
Speaker 5: Hell, they're not.

676
00:26:24,628 --> 00:26:26,828
Speaker 3: They're not one of these mega houses with forty different

677
00:26:26,868 --> 00:26:28,148
Speaker 3: clients and everyone's in a binder.

678
00:26:28,188 --> 00:26:29,268
Speaker 7: And Okay, if you don't want this guy, you.

679
00:26:29,268 --> 00:26:29,828
Speaker 8: Can have this guy.

680
00:26:30,188 --> 00:26:32,228
Speaker 3: This is their guy and he's been their guy since

681
00:26:32,388 --> 00:26:34,948
Speaker 3: he came into the league at Mississippi State, so all

682
00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:36,468
Speaker 3: three of them should be celebrating.

683
00:26:36,508 --> 00:26:38,868
Speaker 6: They bet on themselves and tighten that seat. Boy, I'll

684
00:26:38,908 --> 00:26:40,108
Speaker 6: tell you what that seat that is.

685
00:26:40,148 --> 00:26:43,548
Speaker 3: Not built for Chris Jones only Aaron Donald of the

686
00:26:43,628 --> 00:26:47,188
Speaker 3: top five non highest paid quarterbacks, who's thirty years old

687
00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:50,028
Speaker 3: at the time of his extension. This guy does that,

688
00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:51,908
Speaker 3: and like if it was a team that hadn't won

689
00:26:52,188 --> 00:26:54,748
Speaker 3: or guy like I'd say, be careful signing a thirty

690
00:26:54,828 --> 00:26:55,748
Speaker 3: year old like to the me, like.

691
00:26:56,028 --> 00:26:58,068
Speaker 5: You're still not though I'm not if the Chiefs don't.

692
00:26:57,948 --> 00:26:59,868
Speaker 3: Win three more Super Bowls and it's like, well, because

693
00:26:59,868 --> 00:27:01,548
Speaker 3: we paid Chris Jones and we spent all night, like

694
00:27:01,588 --> 00:27:03,428
Speaker 3: all right, well, then he earned that money as well.

695
00:27:03,508 --> 00:27:05,388
Speaker 3: He's one of the guys that mount Rushmore. To me,

696
00:27:05,428 --> 00:27:09,148
Speaker 3: it's Andy Reid, Kelsey Mahomes and it's Chris Jones.

697
00:27:09,348 --> 00:27:10,228
Speaker 7: Tyreek Hill was on that.

698
00:27:10,308 --> 00:27:12,108
Speaker 3: But when you win more Super Bowls without Tyreek Kill

699
00:27:12,148 --> 00:27:14,148
Speaker 3: than you had with Tyreek Hill, I got to push

700
00:27:14,188 --> 00:27:14,428
Speaker 3: you off.

701
00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:16,028
Speaker 7: For the guy who's won three Chris Jones, is.

702
00:27:15,988 --> 00:27:18,548
Speaker 5: That dude, you're on there? I gotta Herson Buker on there.

703
00:27:18,908 --> 00:27:21,388
Speaker 1: I got that fifth Spotuba or a fifth spot and

704
00:27:21,468 --> 00:27:22,268
Speaker 1: you know what, put.

705
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:23,028
Speaker 5: The Cats brothers on there.

706
00:27:23,748 --> 00:27:26,228
Speaker 1: I like that image that Jason brought up, because damn

707
00:27:26,268 --> 00:27:29,068
Speaker 1: they had to be a tough tense Are we sure

708
00:27:29,108 --> 00:27:31,668
Speaker 1: about this? And for Chris, like you trust your guys

709
00:27:31,788 --> 00:27:34,068
Speaker 1: and like this is the right move. My team's down

710
00:27:34,108 --> 00:27:36,428
Speaker 1: there losing to the damn Lions, Like are we sure?

711
00:27:36,468 --> 00:27:37,548
Speaker 7: Those eyes on Chris Jones.

712
00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:39,748
Speaker 3: And it's also I could fire you at any second,

713
00:27:39,828 --> 00:27:41,828
Speaker 3: and Joe Joel Siegel or Drew Rosenhouse will get me

714
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:42,188
Speaker 3: a great deal.

715
00:27:42,228 --> 00:27:43,828
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't look like they're having the best

716
00:27:43,868 --> 00:27:46,068
Speaker 1: time that night. Yeah, that's not a pleasure cruse. That's

717
00:27:46,108 --> 00:27:48,228
Speaker 1: not a Super Bowl parade. I would just say in

718
00:27:48,348 --> 00:27:50,828
Speaker 1: what we do, we are so obsessed with players, and

719
00:27:50,868 --> 00:27:52,788
Speaker 1: then after that, we're so obsessed with coaches. And there's

720
00:27:52,788 --> 00:27:54,428
Speaker 1: a few people and Peter are definitely one of them

721
00:27:54,468 --> 00:27:57,388
Speaker 1: who shed light on GMS and what the Chiefs have

722
00:27:57,628 --> 00:28:00,268
Speaker 1: done is so crazy and the fact that they have

723
00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:02,948
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the world locked up at a

724
00:28:03,028 --> 00:28:06,388
Speaker 1: discount and they're still signing guys like that. This is

725
00:28:06,428 --> 00:28:08,708
Speaker 1: supposed to be a casualty. We're supposed to be showing

726
00:28:08,948 --> 00:28:11,948
Speaker 1: Chris Jones in a I don't know a Broncos jersey

727
00:28:12,068 --> 00:28:13,348
Speaker 1: or something like that. It's just it's gone.

728
00:28:13,428 --> 00:28:15,108
Speaker 5: We couldn't keep him. He's on the Chiefs.

729
00:28:15,188 --> 00:28:18,508
Speaker 1: The things that Veitch does and has done since they've

730
00:28:18,508 --> 00:28:21,228
Speaker 1: gotten my homes, it's amazing. They only have the best quarterback,

731
00:28:21,228 --> 00:28:22,748
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches. I think they have the

732
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:24,508
Speaker 1: best front office too, because the fact that they could

733
00:28:24,588 --> 00:28:26,548
Speaker 1: run this like this. You don't appreciate a good GM

734
00:28:26,668 --> 00:28:29,548
Speaker 1: until you start losing players and signing bad contracts. They

735
00:28:29,588 --> 00:28:31,188
Speaker 1: don't do it, and that's why they have the Lombardi man.

736
00:28:31,228 --> 00:28:31,588
Speaker 5: Awesome.

737
00:28:31,788 --> 00:28:34,108
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way they've spent their money, like the lower

738
00:28:34,188 --> 00:28:36,828
Speaker 2: third should be reading, is this the beginning of the

739
00:28:36,988 --> 00:28:39,228
Speaker 2: end for the Chiefs And there's nothing that they're doing

740
00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:42,308
Speaker 2: that implies that that's happening, which is tremendous for them. Also,

741
00:28:42,548 --> 00:28:44,508
Speaker 2: the imagery of the Cats Brothers to go back to

742
00:28:44,588 --> 00:28:47,268
Speaker 2: them is Cats Brothers. They made a choice, right, so

743
00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,148
Speaker 2: they made a choice to go down this pathway with

744
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:51,108
Speaker 2: Chris Jones of like, listen, here's one more year.

745
00:28:51,308 --> 00:28:52,428
Speaker 8: Hey, Hey, I have an idea.

746
00:28:52,668 --> 00:28:55,108
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the stadium that night and be

747
00:28:55,268 --> 00:28:56,948
Speaker 2: in a camera friendly spot.

748
00:28:57,228 --> 00:28:57,348
Speaker 8: Bro.

749
00:28:57,508 --> 00:28:59,028
Speaker 2: We know that could be the booth that Taylor Swift

750
00:28:59,108 --> 00:29:01,028
Speaker 2: sat in every week. We don't know because that was

751
00:29:01,108 --> 00:29:03,028
Speaker 2: just week one. She wasn't there yet, or she was.

752
00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:05,628
Speaker 2: She was hiding in a popcorn machine. So the cat's

753
00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:07,868
Speaker 2: mothers say, you're gonna go, You're gonna show face.

754
00:29:07,948 --> 00:29:09,148
Speaker 8: He didn't have to be there, Peter.

755
00:29:09,188 --> 00:29:10,948
Speaker 2: I don't know the intricacies of the rule, but like

756
00:29:11,148 --> 00:29:13,388
Speaker 2: did Chris Jones required to be at the safe that

757
00:29:13,468 --> 00:29:14,068
Speaker 2: they are shows.

758
00:29:14,428 --> 00:29:16,868
Speaker 8: He was an unusual sight at the time, and that

759
00:29:17,068 --> 00:29:20,428
Speaker 8: married with the loss. You're like, now here we are

760
00:29:20,468 --> 00:29:20,948
Speaker 8: getting paid.

761
00:29:20,988 --> 00:29:22,588
Speaker 1: I want to shout out with the Cats brothers, Peter.

762
00:29:22,748 --> 00:29:25,948
Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time shokings Shan stillado this year.

763
00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:28,668
Speaker 1: I want to shout out my guy, Kyle Lincoln. Kyle

764
00:29:28,748 --> 00:29:31,148
Speaker 1: Lincoln represents Aire Franklin, who just got a new deal.

765
00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:33,508
Speaker 1: All the agents are having once today. Jason, you like

766
00:29:33,588 --> 00:29:36,228
Speaker 1: Kyle Lincoln. I like, I kind of looking to be president.

767
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:37,908
Speaker 1: I like that name all day.

768
00:29:38,668 --> 00:29:41,668
Speaker 2: How about four faces and Bucker's foot on the mountain,

769
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:44,188
Speaker 2: or how about that let's stock Vikings.

770
00:29:44,268 --> 00:29:45,708
Speaker 8: Next, it's Kirk o'clock.

771
00:29:49,348 --> 00:29:52,388
Speaker 5: Congratulations, We're gonna one twelve on you guys.

772
00:30:00,148 --> 00:30:05,948
Speaker 2: Good morning football, Kyle, your big Kirk Cousin fan from

773
00:30:05,988 --> 00:30:08,548
Speaker 2: a human Elephant Elephant elements in.

774
00:30:08,548 --> 00:30:12,868
Speaker 6: The room Ephant in the Room of Human Elephant was.

775
00:30:14,388 --> 00:30:15,988
Speaker 8: Just go to Kyle and ask Hi about Kirk Cousins.

776
00:30:16,188 --> 00:30:19,028
Speaker 1: Well, I listened the reputation and like the joke and

777
00:30:19,108 --> 00:30:21,908
Speaker 1: the meme is a Cousins is money, money, money, money, money, money,

778
00:30:21,908 --> 00:30:23,948
Speaker 1: and all he cares about his money. I I don't

779
00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:26,428
Speaker 1: think that's true. I think he's benefited from the system many,

780
00:30:26,508 --> 00:30:28,348
Speaker 1: many times. But at this point we're like, all right,

781
00:30:28,388 --> 00:30:29,948
Speaker 1: so Kirk Cousins has been paid all the money in

782
00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:31,668
Speaker 1: the world, He's got kids who are growing up. He's

783
00:30:31,708 --> 00:30:33,428
Speaker 1: probably got one last bite at this thing. This is

784
00:30:33,428 --> 00:30:35,748
Speaker 1: probably the last big contract to'll ever sign. I think

785
00:30:35,788 --> 00:30:37,708
Speaker 1: he's gonna go what's most comfortable for his family. I

786
00:30:37,748 --> 00:30:39,388
Speaker 1: don't know the answer now that might be, well, we

787
00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:41,268
Speaker 1: live in Minnesota and they're in school, and every kids

788
00:30:41,268 --> 00:30:43,428
Speaker 1: are pretty young. It's not that type of deal. If

789
00:30:43,468 --> 00:30:45,068
Speaker 1: it means move, it means move. I think he's thinking

790
00:30:45,108 --> 00:30:46,948
Speaker 1: about his family, and I think we're gonna find out soon.

791
00:30:47,108 --> 00:30:48,028
Speaker 8: We are going to find out soon.

792
00:30:48,268 --> 00:30:50,388
Speaker 2: It's not that the Steelers or the Bucks were teams

793
00:30:50,428 --> 00:30:52,788
Speaker 2: that were like heavily rumored to take on Kirk Cousins.

794
00:30:52,828 --> 00:30:55,188
Speaker 2: But it's interesting to watch for agency unfold before it

795
00:30:55,228 --> 00:30:57,948
Speaker 2: even begins, because the chairs with the quarterbacks start to

796
00:30:57,948 --> 00:31:00,868
Speaker 2: get occupied, slowly but surely. Now keep this in mind,

797
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:03,028
Speaker 2: if Chris John's staying in Kansas City, now we have

798
00:31:03,148 --> 00:31:05,988
Speaker 2: taken him off the top twenty twenty four free agent,

799
00:31:06,068 --> 00:31:08,748
Speaker 2: let that most Kirk Cousins up because he was too,

800
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:12,668
Speaker 2: And now Cousins becomes the most interesting free agent in

801
00:31:12,788 --> 00:31:16,628
Speaker 2: terms of position, value and destination in the next couple

802
00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:19,028
Speaker 2: of hours. So before the free pre agent frenzy begins

803
00:31:19,108 --> 00:31:22,828
Speaker 2: later today, let's remember what Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell

804
00:31:22,988 --> 00:31:25,548
Speaker 2: told our Richison and Danis Aremia back at the combine

805
00:31:25,588 --> 00:31:26,308
Speaker 2: about Cookus.

806
00:31:28,308 --> 00:31:30,228
Speaker 11: I know Kirk, you know where he's at in this

807
00:31:30,308 --> 00:31:32,788
Speaker 11: whole process. He's he's earned the right to be a

808
00:31:32,828 --> 00:31:36,228
Speaker 11: free agent, and you know, he's played really good football.

809
00:31:36,268 --> 00:31:39,188
Speaker 11: I think he's I think he's you know, eighteen and

810
00:31:39,308 --> 00:31:41,868
Speaker 11: seven whatever his record is since since I arrived in

811
00:31:43,228 --> 00:31:45,708
Speaker 11: Minnesota coaching him, and I've had a blast coaching him.

812
00:31:45,788 --> 00:31:47,948
Speaker 11: His fit in our offense where we've kind of taken

813
00:31:48,068 --> 00:31:50,868
Speaker 11: our version of the offense too, with guys like Jordan

814
00:31:50,948 --> 00:31:53,348
Speaker 11: and Justin and TJ. I know Kirk's going to go

815
00:31:53,348 --> 00:31:56,708
Speaker 11: through a full process. He's a processed guy, and you know,

816
00:31:56,788 --> 00:31:59,308
Speaker 11: hopefully we continue to be a strong part in that

817
00:31:59,428 --> 00:32:02,548
Speaker 11: process and we figure out a way to keep Minnesota Viking.

818
00:32:02,628 --> 00:32:04,748
Speaker 11: But my expectation is we're not going to the only

819
00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:07,468
Speaker 11: ones that would like Kirk Cousins would be the quarterback

820
00:32:07,508 --> 00:32:09,028
Speaker 11: of our team in twenty twenty four.

821
00:32:09,708 --> 00:32:11,708
Speaker 2: Well, and all things considered, the Vikings went through their

822
00:32:11,788 --> 00:32:15,508
Speaker 2: process last offseason as well, restructuring Kirk cousins deal so

823
00:32:15,628 --> 00:32:17,708
Speaker 2: they allowed him to play on the final year of this.

824
00:32:17,868 --> 00:32:20,388
Speaker 2: So the Vikings have their way, Cousins has his way.

825
00:32:20,668 --> 00:32:22,708
Speaker 2: Do you think of Minnesota Vikings now? Though, Peter, all

826
00:32:22,748 --> 00:32:25,748
Speaker 2: things considered, shouldn't take that next step ensure that Cousins

827
00:32:25,828 --> 00:32:26,348
Speaker 2: doesn't leave.

828
00:32:26,508 --> 00:32:29,268
Speaker 7: I don't know if the train has left the station already.

829
00:32:29,308 --> 00:32:30,668
Speaker 7: They had time to do this.

830
00:32:30,828 --> 00:32:33,308
Speaker 3: They had time all season, They had time last offseason.

831
00:32:33,348 --> 00:32:34,908
Speaker 3: They could have paid Kirk Cousins what they wanted.

832
00:32:34,988 --> 00:32:35,788
Speaker 7: I also look at it.

833
00:32:36,148 --> 00:32:38,828
Speaker 3: Thirty six years old is coming off an Achilles injury.

834
00:32:38,948 --> 00:32:41,108
Speaker 3: Is it time where Minnesota says, all right, well we

835
00:32:41,268 --> 00:32:43,068
Speaker 3: did this six years ago with him, and we gave

836
00:32:43,148 --> 00:32:45,948
Speaker 3: him one hundred million guaranteed and we got one playoff

837
00:32:45,988 --> 00:32:47,508
Speaker 3: win out of it. Is it time for both sides

838
00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:50,668
Speaker 3: to kind of move on. I'm shocked he's actually entering

839
00:32:50,748 --> 00:32:53,548
Speaker 3: free agency. You get a quarterback like Kirk Cousins where

840
00:32:53,948 --> 00:32:56,188
Speaker 3: you know you're at least due to be in every game,

841
00:32:56,428 --> 00:32:58,948
Speaker 3: and what he's been as a player has been a

842
00:32:59,028 --> 00:33:02,068
Speaker 3: winner in many spots and has won a playoff game

843
00:33:02,068 --> 00:33:04,068
Speaker 3: in New Orleans that we talk about often and celebrate.

844
00:33:04,388 --> 00:33:05,708
Speaker 3: And he can still sling the ball with the best

845
00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:08,308
Speaker 3: of them. So I'm shocked that any team would just

846
00:33:08,388 --> 00:33:10,908
Speaker 3: not lock up Cousin. But that wasn't the case. And

847
00:33:10,988 --> 00:33:14,388
Speaker 3: whether GM Qucia Dofo Monza, whether they went through this

848
00:33:14,468 --> 00:33:17,188
Speaker 3: and they were like, let's let Kirk hit the market

849
00:33:17,188 --> 00:33:18,868
Speaker 3: and then we'll match it. Well, then if I'm Kirk,

850
00:33:18,908 --> 00:33:20,708
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know if you're willing to let

851
00:33:20,748 --> 00:33:22,148
Speaker 3: me kick the market. Do I want to come back

852
00:33:22,148 --> 00:33:26,508
Speaker 3: to you? Atlanta? Obviously we know is interested. There's a

853
00:33:26,548 --> 00:33:28,348
Speaker 3: connection there, and it's interesting. It's you go to the

854
00:33:28,428 --> 00:33:31,148
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one Rams. Their offensive coordinator was Kevin O'Connell.

855
00:33:31,148 --> 00:33:33,748
Speaker 3: Their defensive coordinator was Rahee Morris. Now you're dealing with

856
00:33:34,068 --> 00:33:36,028
Speaker 3: two guys who didn't coach Kirk for.

857
00:33:36,068 --> 00:33:36,748
Speaker 7: That Rams team.

858
00:33:37,268 --> 00:33:40,668
Speaker 3: But we're around McVeigh, we're around you know, Raheem had

859
00:33:40,748 --> 00:33:42,388
Speaker 3: him when he was in Washington as a as a

860
00:33:42,428 --> 00:33:45,388
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, so our defensive backs coach. So there's this

861
00:33:45,588 --> 00:33:48,748
Speaker 3: love for Cousins from those sides, But the Vikings opted

862
00:33:48,868 --> 00:33:51,348
Speaker 3: not to back up the brin trucks with guaranteed money

863
00:33:51,468 --> 00:33:54,628
Speaker 3: that Falcons might. I won't be surprised if in an hour,

864
00:33:55,028 --> 00:33:57,948
Speaker 3: two hours, Kirk Cousins is an Atlanta Falcon and.

865
00:33:57,948 --> 00:33:58,668
Speaker 7: That's just how it goes.

866
00:33:58,708 --> 00:34:01,068
Speaker 3: And then Minnesota could say, well we tried it. You

867
00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:03,108
Speaker 3: didn't try because you got him to this point, and

868
00:34:03,108 --> 00:34:05,108
Speaker 3: if you're letting them get to this point, then you're

869
00:34:05,108 --> 00:34:07,828
Speaker 3: probably much telling him your thoughts on the.

870
00:34:07,868 --> 00:34:08,468
Speaker 7: Market as well.

871
00:34:08,788 --> 00:34:11,868
Speaker 9: I agree that opportunity came last offseason when they decided

872
00:34:11,948 --> 00:34:13,468
Speaker 9: to do his deal the way they did it and

873
00:34:13,788 --> 00:34:15,388
Speaker 9: allow him to be a free agent. I feel like

874
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,788
Speaker 9: at this point, no allow Kirk to go out there

875
00:34:17,868 --> 00:34:21,108
Speaker 9: and test the market because for Minnesota, don't set what

876
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,228
Speaker 9: his market is going to be. Because Peter, one thing

877
00:34:23,308 --> 00:34:25,908
Speaker 9: you mentioned thirty six years old coming off of torn achilles.

878
00:34:26,068 --> 00:34:27,828
Speaker 9: We know Kirk is the best free agent out there,

879
00:34:27,908 --> 00:34:30,228
Speaker 9: especially at that quarterback position, but what is a.

880
00:34:30,308 --> 00:34:31,628
Speaker 6: Team willing to pay Kirk.

881
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:33,428
Speaker 9: Yes, they're going to pay him money to come in there,

882
00:34:33,628 --> 00:34:36,068
Speaker 9: but at what level. So if you're Minnesota, if Kirk

883
00:34:36,148 --> 00:34:40,068
Speaker 9: really is deciding on whether it's Atlanta, whatever team, if

884
00:34:40,108 --> 00:34:42,588
Speaker 9: he's really has the Vikings in his back pocket, says hey,

885
00:34:42,628 --> 00:34:44,228
Speaker 9: I just kind of want to see what's out there,

886
00:34:44,468 --> 00:34:44,708
Speaker 9: but I.

887
00:34:44,748 --> 00:34:46,668
Speaker 6: Still may have my heart in Minnesota.

888
00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:48,948
Speaker 9: I think for the Vikings, it allows him to see

889
00:34:49,068 --> 00:34:52,908
Speaker 9: exactly what Cousins market is, and you're not negotiating against yourself,

890
00:34:52,948 --> 00:34:55,908
Speaker 9: but you actually see what the highest bid out there. Now,

891
00:34:56,308 --> 00:34:57,828
Speaker 9: it could come to a point where that bit is

892
00:34:57,828 --> 00:34:59,908
Speaker 9: way too high and the Vikings can't match it. But

893
00:34:59,988 --> 00:35:02,228
Speaker 9: then you come into what your contingency plan is. Is

894
00:35:02,308 --> 00:35:05,508
Speaker 9: that a Jacoby Pressett or Ryan Tanner or Gardner Minshew,

895
00:35:05,588 --> 00:35:07,868
Speaker 9: one of these guys that showed up and played well

896
00:35:07,908 --> 00:35:10,748
Speaker 9: for their team last year. But we said it as

897
00:35:10,788 --> 00:35:13,428
Speaker 9: a player, as a quarterback, I was on the team.

898
00:35:13,468 --> 00:35:14,028
Speaker 6: Annoy England.

899
00:35:14,028 --> 00:35:15,748
Speaker 9: When Brady went into the last year of his deal,

900
00:35:15,868 --> 00:35:18,908
Speaker 9: was the first time throughout an entire career as annoying

901
00:35:18,948 --> 00:35:21,068
Speaker 9: the Patriot that he was going to play on the

902
00:35:21,188 --> 00:35:23,908
Speaker 9: last year of his contract. We knew it that offseason

903
00:35:23,908 --> 00:35:25,748
Speaker 9: before in training camp. Once it was decided, it was

904
00:35:25,788 --> 00:35:28,348
Speaker 9: all Tom's gone. Because as a player is just all right.

905
00:35:28,348 --> 00:35:30,628
Speaker 9: You told me last year you didn't believe in me

906
00:35:30,788 --> 00:35:33,788
Speaker 9: beyond this year. Now I owe it to myself to

907
00:35:33,948 --> 00:35:35,468
Speaker 9: go out there and see what's out there and what

908
00:35:35,588 --> 00:35:37,988
Speaker 9: other teams are willing to tell me. Guy said his

909
00:35:38,028 --> 00:35:40,988
Speaker 9: wife from Georgia Atlanta has weapons too, so it's a

910
00:35:41,028 --> 00:35:42,908
Speaker 9: team that he can go to and actually makes him noise.

911
00:35:43,188 --> 00:35:46,188
Speaker 1: The jokes about Kirk always money this he wears cheap clothes.

912
00:35:46,228 --> 00:35:47,508
Speaker 1: He makes a lot of money, and all he cares

913
00:35:47,548 --> 00:35:49,748
Speaker 1: about his money. I think, if I'm cousins, I may

914
00:35:49,788 --> 00:35:53,068
Speaker 1: be getting a little frustrated hearing that SoundBite about earn

915
00:35:53,148 --> 00:35:55,348
Speaker 1: the right to be a free agent, like he won

916
00:35:55,468 --> 00:35:56,388
Speaker 1: some prize or something.

917
00:35:56,428 --> 00:35:57,908
Speaker 5: You don't want to be a free agent. You want

918
00:35:57,908 --> 00:36:00,228
Speaker 5: to be extended. You don't. That's not a good thing.

919
00:36:00,348 --> 00:36:02,188
Speaker 1: Like you made it down the yellow brick road and

920
00:36:02,228 --> 00:36:02,908
Speaker 1: you're a free agent.

921
00:36:02,948 --> 00:36:05,028
Speaker 5: You've earned the right. Screw that, it's not the right.

922
00:36:05,108 --> 00:36:07,948
Speaker 1: I want to earn, and I think if anything he

923
00:36:08,108 --> 00:36:10,828
Speaker 1: is guilty of is kirk Cousin's a master of knowing

924
00:36:10,948 --> 00:36:11,388
Speaker 1: your worth.

925
00:36:11,788 --> 00:36:13,268
Speaker 5: Knowing your value is nothing wrong with that.

926
00:36:13,628 --> 00:36:16,588
Speaker 1: Knowing your value is not being greedy or being a

927
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:17,788
Speaker 1: money grubber or something.

928
00:36:17,788 --> 00:36:19,628
Speaker 5: It's just I know what the market is, I know

929
00:36:19,668 --> 00:36:20,708
Speaker 5: what I bring to the table.

930
00:36:21,108 --> 00:36:23,548
Speaker 1: I think that if he changes teams is because the

931
00:36:23,628 --> 00:36:27,068
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings did not pay the market they did not offer.

932
00:36:27,228 --> 00:36:28,948
Speaker 5: Maybe it's because of the injury, maybe it's just because

933
00:36:28,988 --> 00:36:30,828
Speaker 5: it's just time. But it is a little strange.

934
00:36:30,868 --> 00:36:32,988
Speaker 1: You see o' connelly's sitting there saying, we've won so

935
00:36:33,108 --> 00:36:34,268
Speaker 1: much with him, and this is his record.

936
00:36:35,468 --> 00:36:36,708
Speaker 5: He's great, we get along well.

937
00:36:37,228 --> 00:36:39,708
Speaker 1: You just start to feel that sometimes there's the money,

938
00:36:39,708 --> 00:36:41,828
Speaker 1: and there's the play, and there's the injury. There's also

939
00:36:42,468 --> 00:36:45,708
Speaker 1: this time year. You just feel that intangible it's time

940
00:36:45,948 --> 00:36:48,308
Speaker 1: type feeling. And I always try to look at the

941
00:36:48,348 --> 00:36:50,388
Speaker 1: fan base, it's the time of year. I don't think

942
00:36:50,468 --> 00:36:52,628
Speaker 1: that there'll be Vikings fans crying in the streets if

943
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:55,308
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins changes teams. They just don't as good as

944
00:36:55,348 --> 00:36:57,388
Speaker 1: he's been, as much as he's got out of Jefferson

945
00:36:57,468 --> 00:36:59,828
Speaker 1: and all the stats he's put up. Sometimes you can't

946
00:36:59,908 --> 00:37:01,868
Speaker 1: overvalue the factor of its time.

947
00:37:02,108 --> 00:37:04,108
Speaker 3: My last thing image is him in that week seventeen

948
00:37:04,148 --> 00:37:05,948
Speaker 3: game doing the skull chat with his kid and he's

949
00:37:05,948 --> 00:37:08,428
Speaker 3: shirtless and like they're loving him and he's loving them,

950
00:37:08,468 --> 00:37:09,908
Speaker 3: and like that's how it ends.

951
00:37:10,628 --> 00:37:11,828
Speaker 5: It's it is odd to me.

952
00:37:12,028 --> 00:37:13,748
Speaker 3: It feels like you don't let a guy like that

953
00:37:13,868 --> 00:37:17,908
Speaker 3: out without having Yeah, what is there's no success, There's

954
00:37:17,908 --> 00:37:20,308
Speaker 3: no Jordan Long and you have Addison and Jefferson and

955
00:37:20,388 --> 00:37:22,668
Speaker 3: Diresol like you got an offense.

956
00:37:23,148 --> 00:37:24,228
Speaker 5: Well, cousins can sling it.

957
00:37:24,428 --> 00:37:27,588
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, that is curious about what direction they go

958
00:37:27,708 --> 00:37:29,908
Speaker 2: in offensively two because they still have yet to figure

959
00:37:29,948 --> 00:37:32,388
Speaker 2: out what is happening with Justin Jefferson in his future.

960
00:37:32,748 --> 00:37:34,788
Speaker 8: I just want to speak to Minnesota as a whole.

961
00:37:34,868 --> 00:37:36,588
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you don't get to talk about

962
00:37:36,628 --> 00:37:38,428
Speaker 2: my mom, but I get to talk about my mom.

963
00:37:38,388 --> 00:37:38,668
Speaker 8: Kind of thing.

964
00:37:38,748 --> 00:37:40,468
Speaker 2: Like I don't like other people talking about Minnesota, but

965
00:37:40,468 --> 00:37:42,068
Speaker 2: I can do it because I grew up there. Minnesota

966
00:37:42,108 --> 00:37:44,908
Speaker 2: sports ownership in general is just such a fascinating landscape

967
00:37:44,908 --> 00:37:47,628
Speaker 2: in my opinion, because you get really talented athletes over

968
00:37:47,668 --> 00:37:49,988
Speaker 2: like over the last twenty years, like Kevin Garnett, Randy

969
00:37:50,068 --> 00:37:52,428
Speaker 2: Moss and those guys go and they're stars, but the

970
00:37:52,828 --> 00:37:55,348
Speaker 2: teams that they're on don't win. And then these guys

971
00:37:55,428 --> 00:37:57,868
Speaker 2: go elsewhere and then they win, and that's so sickening

972
00:37:57,948 --> 00:38:01,228
Speaker 2: to watch sometimes. And like, if this happens again with

973
00:38:01,348 --> 00:38:04,148
Speaker 2: this valued position of a guy who is so close

974
00:38:04,228 --> 00:38:06,268
Speaker 2: at times with the team that was very talented and

975
00:38:06,388 --> 00:38:08,428
Speaker 2: he goes somewhere else and he wins, it's going to

976
00:38:08,468 --> 00:38:09,748
Speaker 2: be such a stab in the harbor.

977
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:10,748
Speaker 8: But like, do you let him.

978
00:38:10,668 --> 00:38:14,308
Speaker 2: Stay and pay him the ship punintended with Minnesota and

979
00:38:14,748 --> 00:38:17,948
Speaker 2: risk not winning and continuing down this trend again. So man,

980
00:38:18,148 --> 00:38:20,108
Speaker 2: I do think Kyle to your point fifty to fifty

981
00:38:20,188 --> 00:38:21,908
Speaker 2: on Vikings fans in terms of like whether or not,

982
00:38:22,068 --> 00:38:24,228
Speaker 2: like they absolutely want him to stay or they are

983
00:38:24,348 --> 00:38:24,668
Speaker 2: kind of just.

984
00:38:24,708 --> 00:38:25,628
Speaker 8: Wanting to let him walk up.

985
00:38:25,668 --> 00:38:27,548
Speaker 1: Look, you could find Vikings fans who said Cousins and

986
00:38:27,628 --> 00:38:30,028
Speaker 1: Jefferson should both go. It's all too much money for

987
00:38:30,068 --> 00:38:31,828
Speaker 1: a wide out on the court. I'm not saying that

988
00:38:32,028 --> 00:38:33,628
Speaker 1: they are out there. I think they're in their feelings

989
00:38:33,628 --> 00:38:36,588
Speaker 1: today and I think I can't handicap this thing.

990
00:38:37,348 --> 00:38:39,508
Speaker 3: Fifty fifty and was I think, to me, it's like

991
00:38:39,668 --> 00:38:43,828
Speaker 3: the numbers probably, I'm knowing that ninety two million over

992
00:38:43,908 --> 00:38:46,108
Speaker 3: two years probably, so like a little bit north of

993
00:38:46,188 --> 00:38:48,628
Speaker 3: forty five million in a little south and it's all guaranteed.

994
00:38:48,948 --> 00:38:50,708
Speaker 7: Yeah, So Minnesota went down.

995
00:38:51,828 --> 00:38:53,388
Speaker 8: It gets it.

996
00:38:53,788 --> 00:38:56,228
Speaker 7: That's that's his m he's going. He shouldn't take a.

997
00:38:56,228 --> 00:38:59,868
Speaker 8: Dollar less Ian rapport s grap sheet.

998
00:38:59,948 --> 00:39:02,708
Speaker 2: You're coming back because we're talking justin Jefferson getting paid,

999
00:39:02,908 --> 00:39:04,308
Speaker 2: wide receivers in general getting paid.

1000
00:39:04,628 --> 00:39:07,068
Speaker 7: Have T Higgins is trying to get paid.

1001
00:39:07,108 --> 00:39:09,828
Speaker 4: Would really love to get paid by the Cincinnati Bengals,

1002
00:39:09,908 --> 00:39:12,028
Speaker 4: no doubt, has emerged one of the key targets for

1003
00:39:12,308 --> 00:39:12,908
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow.

1004
00:39:13,068 --> 00:39:15,668
Speaker 7: There have been no such extension talks.

1005
00:39:15,708 --> 00:39:16,668
Speaker 8: They did administer the.

1006
00:39:16,668 --> 00:39:19,388
Speaker 4: Franchise tag, and according to a source, he has now

1007
00:39:19,508 --> 00:39:23,748
Speaker 4: requested to be traded again. Would like to be in Cincinnati,

1008
00:39:23,988 --> 00:39:26,148
Speaker 4: would like a long term deal just to really haven't

1009
00:39:26,188 --> 00:39:29,828
Speaker 4: been any talks and the franchise tag essentially should be used.

1010
00:39:30,028 --> 00:39:32,908
Speaker 5: As a placeholder to keep a long term talks going.

1011
00:39:33,388 --> 00:39:35,028
Speaker 5: That has not been the case.

1012
00:39:35,388 --> 00:39:37,428
Speaker 4: So T Higgins now requests to trade it for the

1013
00:39:37,508 --> 00:39:38,548
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals.

1014
00:39:38,868 --> 00:39:39,748
Speaker 6: We will see what they do.

1015
00:39:40,028 --> 00:39:42,028
Speaker 4: Mike Brown has not been someone the owner, has not

1016
00:39:42,148 --> 00:39:44,708
Speaker 4: been someone who generally likes to do something he doesn't

1017
00:39:44,708 --> 00:39:45,068
Speaker 4: want to do.

1018
00:39:45,508 --> 00:39:46,828
Speaker 7: But this is a key player.

1019
00:39:46,868 --> 00:39:49,628
Speaker 4: It is someone who has emerged as a big time

1020
00:39:49,708 --> 00:39:53,108
Speaker 4: target for Joe Burrow. They also could get something very

1021
00:39:53,308 --> 00:39:56,628
Speaker 4: very real back for him in a time when it's

1022
00:39:56,788 --> 00:40:00,228
Speaker 4: very few top, top high end receivers on the market,

1023
00:40:00,308 --> 00:40:01,108
Speaker 4: maybe just a couple.

1024
00:40:01,388 --> 00:40:03,028
Speaker 5: So we will see where this one goes.

1025
00:40:03,588 --> 00:40:06,548
Speaker 7: But an intriguing s situation developing in Cincinnati.

1026
00:40:06,748 --> 00:40:09,268
Speaker 3: Absolutely reminds me a little bit of when AJ Brown

1027
00:40:09,388 --> 00:40:11,148
Speaker 3: was in Tennessee and it was like, here's this guy,

1028
00:40:11,348 --> 00:40:14,308
Speaker 3: young star, like they're not paying him, and Philly not

1029
00:40:14,388 --> 00:40:16,268
Speaker 3: only traded everything for him, but then they paid him

1030
00:40:16,308 --> 00:40:17,628
Speaker 3: right away. I think a team would be willing to

1031
00:40:17,668 --> 00:40:19,028
Speaker 3: do that for Tea, to make him their number one.

1032
00:40:19,748 --> 00:40:21,868
Speaker 8: Yeah, very interesting. I'll see him around the market.
