WEBVTT - The Insiders Podcast: Contract Updates, AFC Trades, and 2026 Fantasy Drafts 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.160 The forty nine ers got a lot of the band 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:10.879 back together, especially on defense. 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.560 But what do those reunions mean for the team's hopes. 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:16.239 We discuss on this episode of The Insiders. The Jags 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.680 counting down the day so they get Travis Hunter all 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.000 the way back, but will he only be back on 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:23.759 one side of the ball. We'll tell you what the 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.040 Jags have to say coming up on the show, and 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.000 your fantasy draft could be a few days, hours, or. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:29.960 Even minutes away. 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.240 We get you set for the twenty twenty sixth season 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.480 on The Insiders, which starts now. 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:36.159 Everybody. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.279 Welcome to The Insiders, the return of the Insiders after 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.960 a little break. Patrick clayb I'm here in the nfl 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.800 LA newsroom. Mike Garrifolo our insider of the day. Mike, 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.800 I have missed you. The people need some contract updates, 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.000 So let's start right there at the top of this 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.080 show with a quarterback, because that's what we enjoy doing 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.480 on television, especially Sports TV. Two years remaining on the 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.440 contract for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. He has a 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.600 no trade calls, no tag calls. Mike was a big 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.120 part of the process last time. Where are the team 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:03.680 and Lamar. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.319 Now, look, I'll be honest Patrick, this is gonna be 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.160 the one that I'll feel the least confident in. And 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.480 the reason for that is it's a tight circle of people. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.560 It's a very small circle of people. In fact, I 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.479 don't even know if you can make it a circle 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.039 when there's only two people involved, and that's Lamar Jackson 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.600 as well as Eric DeCosta, the general manager of the Ravens, 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.759 and Nick Mattio, their contract negotiators. I guess that's three people. 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.480 We can make a triangle, I suppose. But Lamar Jackson 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.679 kept it really tight last time and really surprised the 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.480 Ravens when the deal was all said and done. They 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:36.880 thought that there was going to be still more work 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.160 to be done, and then Eric de Costa got a 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.800 text said, hey, I guess we're done here, so this 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.320 I do think that there is work that still needs 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:45.800 to be done, and if it's not done before the 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.000 training started training camp, excuse me. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:49.680 I will not be surprised. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.720 I know this. Sides were hopeful, at least the Ravens 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.440 were hopeful this would get done in the spring. It 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.480 did not, so they kicked the can down the road 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.080 with a simple restructure there to give themselves some capt 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.160 flexibility in the time. So the size is going to 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.880 continue to work on this one. If it carries in 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.680 the training camp, Patrick not going to be surprised at 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.360 that at all. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.560 I guess the shape down in Tampa Bay, where Baker 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.960 Mayfield is hoping to have a date of training camp 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.480 is more of a quadrilateral. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:13.359 That's what he said. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.760 Would like to have that done before entering the season, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.160 which will be the final year of the deal he's 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.840 currently on. He said, it's about finding the middle ground. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.280 How close are they mark to that middle ground? 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.480 Yeah, that's how it works, Baker when it comes to 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.520 negotiated negotiations. Look, I know what Baker's doing. I mean, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.320 and sometimes you got to put a little bit of 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.160 pressure on the team, even if it is a situation 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.040 where you know he is going to be the guy, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.480 and they know he's going to be the guy, at 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.440 least for the short term. They are not close yet. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.160 I know that now. I'm confident in that one. I 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.639 can tell you that. And there's a lot of work 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.640 that needs to be done on this one. And we're 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.280 sort of in a period where when it comes to 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.880 Baker Mayfield or even Vinevea on the other side of 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.800 the ball that we've talked about, and since then, Jeffrey 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.320 Simmons with the Titans has got an extension. The Bucks 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.520 are in no ruck on either one of these. Now 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.600 around the start of training camp, that's where some pressure 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.200 could be applied and say, hey, maybe we want to 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.840 get this done and not have this be a storyline 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.079 as we get ourselves into camp. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.600 And I can tell you right now. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.400 Where Baker and his camp where they have in their 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.240 mind where the numbers should be and where the Bucks 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.440 have offered to this point. Yeah, they're not close, and 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.920 it's about finding that middle ground. They're not close to 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.560 that just yet. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.720 Yeah, elsewhere in the division, mark the number is forty percent. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.520 Over forty percent of Falcons offensive touches go Tubson Robinson, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.840 the team picked up his fifth year option, would seem 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.960 to behoove the Mark to act sooner rather than later. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:36.240 Here. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.560 Yeah, they had a few contract extensions that they needed 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.000 to get done this offseason, and b John Robinson was 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:42.600 a big. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.640 One for them. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.680 But this one's a little bit more complicated because when 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.080 you get into running back deals, there are the halves 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.480 and the have nuts and the haves and the top 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.680 of that market with Saquon Barkley up there. But John 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.960 Robinson and Jamier Gidz, a guy we're gonna talk about 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.240 in just the second here, are gonna. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.200 Want to be there, are going to want to be 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.760 over that. I don't want to launch. 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.640 To the top of the running back market. The question 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.200 is which one of them winds up going first, because 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.880 you'd like to have the one guy I knew is say, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.680 all right, now, I know exactly where the bar is. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.440 Now I try to clear that. So sometimes it's a 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.480 standoff between the player and the team. In this case, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.600 it might be a standoff between the player and the player. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.400 Someone's got to go first. And I would expect both 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.360 of these to be done before the start of the season, 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.760 but this could take some time into training camp. Then 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:24.920 the question is what do you want to do if 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.440 you're the players, do you want to participate? Is it 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.320 want to be a hold in or whatnot. We'll see 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.680 how they approach that one. But b Jhon Robinson and 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.440 Jamior Gibs worthy of being the highest paid running backs, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.840 and I think one, if not both, going to wind 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:36.400 up doing that. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.400 Because these two are an exorbally linked, just a couple 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.800 of picks separating them in that twenty twenty three draft. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.880 How do we handicap it, Mike, Because as you said, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.080 they're both kind of in a similar circumstances the teams, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.040 which team I guess is in position to act first? 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.760 Here, I would say, if I'm Jamior Gibbs, at least 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.200 I have something from the team on record, and it 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.800 is Dan Campbell saying that we got to do a 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.960 lot more with Jamir Gibbs. So you go, well, that's great, right, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.240 because now it was a two headed monster. Now it's 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.200 really a one and a one B if you want 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.880 to call it. But Jamiir Gibbs is going to be 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.040 the guy in Detroit, and you're saying, oh, that's great, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.919 You're going to use me even more going forward. Here's 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.520 where we're going to present that in the contract negotiations. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.320 His agent, Todd Frantz, has done plenty of deals, plenty 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.760 of lucrative deals over the course of his career, so 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.400 you know he's bringing that comment back to the table 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.000 and telling them, Okay, then we deserve to be the 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.120 highest paid guy, and we know. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.200 What he's capable of doing. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.480 Both as a runner and a receiver, which you're seeing 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640 on display right here. I mean, that's why when it 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.040 comes to Robinson and comes to Gibbs, that's why they 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.520 feel like they deserve to be at the top of 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.159 the market because they provide both and their ability to 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.280 be dynamic in both roles, Jamiir Gibbs and having that, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.880 it's my teams sometimes are just so reluctant to praise 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.719 their own guys because they know it comes right back. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:49.800 To them at the negotiating table. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.480 Yeah, and that's probably at the negotiating table the best 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.200 place to praise your particular guys, Mike Garrifolo. There are 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.920 all some contract situations. We've got a lot more of 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.640 might coming up. The NFL Players Choice begins next Monday 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.960 on NFL Network. Tune in to see the players rank 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.480 the best in the game, all available for you right 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.000 here on NFL Network. The forty nine Ers rookies report 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.880 to training Campbell July eighteenth. Veterans like Mike Evans who 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.159 will probably see on that ranking on the twenty fifth. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.600 Mike Evans one of those additions on the team this offseason. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.039 As we get a look at the arrivals as well, 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.880 as the departres he and Christian Kirk coming into that 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:26.839 wide receiver room. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.040 They get Drake Greenlaw back on defense. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.880 They add Nate Hobbs to see those losses, Jwan Jennings, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.080 Kendrick Bourne, among others. As we welcome in our friend 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.920 Steve Wiss to this edition of The Insiders, Mike Garrifolow 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.120 back with us as well as we discuss some training 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.560 camp storylines. How can get in some of those familiar 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.920 faces back on defense change things. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:46.960 For the better for San Francisco. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.039 Yeah, I mean, look, last year, Nick Boster goes down 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.799 by the third game with the knee injury. Fred Warner, 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.960 the intire linebacker, only plays in six games with an 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.800 ankle injury, and Drake Greenlaw was in Denver. We only 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.920 played half a season because of injuries. Now they're all 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.520 going to be back. Green Law is back with the 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.080 forty nine ers after this one year in Denver, and 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:08.120 now Bosa comes back to join Fred Warner coming back. 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.080 Now Greenlaw and green Law and Fred Warner two years 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.160 ago were the best linebacker tandem in the NFL. So 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.400 getting green Law back with warnerback, They've got speed, they've 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:18.400 got attacking people. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.640 Then adding Nick Bosa back. This is a team that 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.480 only had twenty sacks last year. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.960 Getting Nick Bosa back, he's good for nine the season 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:26.680 when he's healthy. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.560 That's going to turn everything up. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.920 But let's not forget the fact that they also added 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.920 Raheem Morris, the former head coach the Atlanta Falcaus, as 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.200 their defensive coordinator. One thing we know about Morris's defense 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.840 is they generate sacks last year in Atlanta, a team 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.720 that had problems to get to the quarterback for years 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.520 fifty seven sacks and Mike when he was a DC 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.080 with the Rams, we know what he did with guys 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.920 like Kobe Turner, Aaron Donald, and Byron Young at getting 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.120 to the quarterback. So adding these pieces back for San 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.080 Francisco and Raheem Morris, this defense should once again emerge 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.880 as one of the best. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.320 In the NFL. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.440 You remember last year how many rookies they had on 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.160 the defensive side of the ball, and they said, we're 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:03.760 going to have to rely upon these guys, and all 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.480 of a sudden it was, hey, what's up, cam Wolf 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.760 thanks hevery injury injury, and they needed to use those 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.280 guys early on in the season. So all that experience 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.000 that those guys got now they carry forward with them, 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.360 So I know that they're feeling good about the depth 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.520 on that side of the ball and some of those 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.920 guys that were thrust into those positions up to Stout 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.800 the young cornerback, he did a really good job. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:26.840 You see him right there. 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.160 I also go back to Kyle Hustcheko was with us 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.880 on the Insiders. They canceled mini camp, and we asked 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.600 him about it. He said, I agree with it, He goes, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.280 I just feel like we're in a really good spot 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.959 right now. We've talked so much about the Seattle Seahawks, 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.120 who are the defending champions, and the Rams who are 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.040 the offseason champions, that maybe we're forgetting how much talent 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.880 there is and how much pride there is and how 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.840 well coached this forty nine ers team. Is this just 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.880 division is going to be just fascinating to watch player. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.600 Yeah, yeah, they have that familiarity with each other. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.080 In contrast, we go over to a place in our 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.400 nation's capital where Dan Quincy's like he's doing a full 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.720 teardown in the hopes of restoring that defense. So got 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.480 of some defenses that he's had in the past, just 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.440 not in DC. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.000 Look at other linebackers, including the outside linebackers. They've got 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.600 four new linebackers who could end up starting in Washington. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.000 Bobby Wagner looks like he's out. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.680 They drafted Sunny styles of the multi positional linebacker out 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.000 of Ohio State University. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.280 But Mike the interesting going into training camp. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.080 The battle could be between Leo Chanal, the rotational inside 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.080 outside linebacker coming over from Kansas City, and Frankie Louvu, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.679 the inside linebacker who just two years was a second 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.800 team All Pro styles. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.480 You're seeing him right here. He seems like a three 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.360 down linebacker. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:43.120 Schanal and Louvu are very similar downhill, very speedy, physical linebackers. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.199 How is that going to work out? 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 Because the training, the mini camp reports you're hearing about, 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.840 Louvu could end up being the play caller. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.760 So are they going to go with three linebackers. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.200 And Deronte Jones a new defensive quarters, new system or 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.160 is there going to be some type of competition with 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.840 Shanal and Louvu. That's going to be something again going 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.000 in the training camp. I think all eyes need to 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.439 watch that linebacker battle as Dan Quinn and the Commander's 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.560 wetool at defense talked about the forty. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.439 Nine ers depth and what they needed when guys went 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.640 down last year. That's what dan Quinn has been asking 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.960 about from his coaches, and that's why this mini camp 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.640 he had the starters just go through a walk through 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.120 pace and had more live reps for some of these 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.160 other guys, because last year they had all those injuries 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.640 and the guys that stepped up did not play well. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.600 And that's a big reason why they attacked this offseason 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.280 the way that they did. Steve and they added so 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.560 many of those guys on defense. They wanted to get younger, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.520 they wanted to get faster, they wanted to get more 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.680 dynamic on defense, and they feel like they did that 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:39.600 be a free agency. 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.440 Well, now all those. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.520 Guys and these other guys, you know, can you rely 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.040 upon some of these reserves and maybe we got to 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.959 coach him up a little bit more in training camp 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.560 and maybe we feel like, oh, that guy's ready to go. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.520 That's a guy that can be an integral part of 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:57.040 our defense moving forward. So it was a transformative spring 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.280 in a lot of ways for Washington and that's going 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.240 to continue into training camp. One of the teams that 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:02.880 when I do make that stop down, they are going 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.560 to be fascinated to see how it looks once these 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.120 guys throw the pads on and. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.760 Mike one thing you said that's very important. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.000 You talk about Washington defense, it should be much faster 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.199 the speed they added. Remember, Dearante Jones is a Brian 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.000 Flores disciple. The key to Flores the defense is speed 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.080 and also intellect. Those are the types of players that 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.080 they added to really get things corrected on that side 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:23.480 of the ball. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.000 A team that was bottom ten and mistackle rate, the 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.360 worst tackling defense that Dan Quinn has had since twenty 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.400 eighteen in Atlanta. We will take a break here on 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.520 the Insiders when we come back, an opportunity to look ahead. Yes, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.640 I much discuss all season trade, but what does it 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:40.160 actually mean. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.640 We got a sneak peek at cam Wolf. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.319 We'll actually hear from cam Wolf when we come back 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:45.480 on the NFL Network. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:54.760 Back here on the Insiders. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.360 This was today coming into the NFLLA Newsroomformer Lions cornerback 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.000 terry On Arnold has cleared waiver now a fridge. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.200 According to the NFL Network and Cider Mariguerro. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.200 Follo, Arnold is currently out on bond as he faces 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.640 multiple felony charges in Florida, and what an opportunity to 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.520 have access NFL networks ader MII Guerro follow Where do 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.200 we go from here? As this process continues to play 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:16.080 itself out legally? 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.199 Marke, Well, you've probably seen the teams are interested in 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.040 Terry On Arnold Patrick and you say, well, why wouldn't 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.800 they just claim him? Well, if you claim him, you're 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.880 taking on the whole roster or the whole contract, excuse me, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.720 and putting all the guaranteed money as well. There are 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.240 teams that would be interested in, let's say, for the 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.640 minimum deal and taking on very little risk with Terry 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.640 On Arnold potentially moving forward. In addition to a lot 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.120 of questions that are unanswered right now when it comes 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.000 to the legal process, there was a hearing that was 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.920 supposed to be today, they got pushed back to Friday. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:46.920 As far as whether he'll have to wear an ankle 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.680 monitor throughout the process. 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.119 So some of these teams, yes. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.640 Will be interested, but not at the rate that they 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.280 would have had him at if they had claimed him 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.439 on waivers. So I think this will be a relatively 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.440 slow process. Arnold as teams go to compile information and 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.400 wait for the legal process to play out a little bit, 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.520 because remember, the NFL in a lot of cases will 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.920 wait until the legal process plays out before levying a suspension. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.640 But sometimes in the meantime can say no, the commissioner 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.280 is exemplest because there's just too much evidence right now 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.040 that just doesn't look really good in our opinion or whatnot. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.200 So teams waiting to get a little. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.280 Bit more answers before we get a resolution on his 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.880 future in the NFL. 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.079 Patrick, Yeah, And while. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.000 That process continues to play out, to the NFL and 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.600 cornerback world keep spinning as we go to veteran quarterback 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.280 with Stuell Douglas coming back to the NFC East to 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.480 play for the Washington Commanders. ESPN's Adam Cheffer reporting it's 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.680 a one year deal worth up to three point eight 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.720 million dollars the thirty one year old once drafted by 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.240 the Philadelphia Eagles in twenty seventeen. Elsewhere, former NFL safety 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.280 and pediatric neurosurgeon doctor Meymn Roll coming aboard the NFLPA 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.079 as a strategic advisor focusing on player health and preventative 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.599 care for active players and a statement he said he 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.160 is on to advance the future where every player's health 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.840 is protected with the highest standard of care. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.720 Back Now with Mike Darryl Fold, cam Wolf. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.719 Joining, let's get edingto you, Cam, Let's get to the 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.960 AFC East. Because there were some big moves. What is 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.120 the impact of all of these wide receiver trades going 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:16.320 to be? 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.040 Camp Patrick? 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.360 First, Let's keep it out on the Patriots and AJ Brown, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.200 the one that we talked about all offseason. I talked 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.720 to a Patriots staffer who said they watched AJ Brown 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.200 a couple of weeks in practice and he looked different. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.480 They said he looked explosive and athletic. He said they 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.440 looked at him in practice compared to that Eagles tape 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.280 last year, and he wondered maybe he was. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.600 Going through the motions in Philly. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.960 They think they are going to unlock the twenty three 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.880 to twenty version, twenty four version of AJ Brown, who 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.560 could be that elite number one receiver, and he certainly 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.800 has something to prove. He's in a place he wants 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.320 to play with, the quarterback he wants to play with, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.600 and a guy they feel like can help. Drake may 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.400 not only be a contender for MVP, but be the 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.360 best quarterback in football, a guy who can flowed across 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.720 the middle of the feat, playmaking, big ball grabbing. 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:03.400 Over the middle of the field. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.880 So can he be that guy that helps the Patriots 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.640 who are now playing a first play schedule this year? 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.600 Remember schedule was a big talking point for them last year. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.800 Can they repeat in the AFC East against tougher opponents? 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.760 They think aj Brown is going to be that call 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.400 to help them over the top. How quickly does he 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.920 and Drake May? How quickly is he and Josh McDaniel 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.840 jeel is something that I can't wait to see in 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:24.400 training camp. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.440 And then the other team. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.520 That's probably going to be their top competition. The Buffalo 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.320 Bills made the big trade for DJ Moore. He's back 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.640 with the familiar face and Joe Brady offensive coordinator that 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.440 he had a lot of success with when he was 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.520 in Carolina now is his head coach. From what I've heard, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.160 it's been a work in progress from their chemistry so far, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.040 but they love what Dj Moore can. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:44.960 Do as a man beater. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.720 They haven't had a true man beater who can separate 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.640 since Stefan Diggs is there Josh Allen maybe the best 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.760 quarterback in football right now, and he's had to do 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.040 it with the collection of receivers who haven't really excelled. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.920 For him at the right time. Is DJ Moore enough 0:15:58.960 --> 0:15:59.440 to help. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.760 The Buffalo bill get back over the top of the 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:02.480 AFC East. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.360 I can't wait to get down there. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.320 And Buffalo Area and see that battle and see that 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.680 development between those receiver and that quarterback, and that those 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.320 two moves may decide who wins the AFS as. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.920 Much as they throw the ball right. They need a 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.800 high volume guy, and I know that they feel good 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.400 about DJ Moore being that high volume guy for them, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.920 that production type guy. He's been that guy throughout his career. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.200 He's incredibly reliable. He can make plays for you down 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:29.960 the field. So that is going to be a big 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.040 part of what they're expecting from DJ Moore, and that's 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.400 a big reason why they made that trade for him. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.240
