Speaker 1: Let's get into the NFL free agent signing period that
Speaker 1: began today right Well, a number of agreements for stars
Speaker 1: to remain with the teams over the week, and some
Speaker 1: of them you can see right here. But I want
Speaker 1: to address three moves in particular that caught my attention.
Speaker 1: We'll be getting Pittsburgh, where the Stellers traded for wide
Speaker 1: out DK Metcalf and agreed to a five year, one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollar extension. Metcalf will presumably be
Speaker 1: paid with fellow wide out George Pickens, who's eligible for
Speaker 1: an extension this offseason as he enters the last year
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal. Now the question is who'll be
Speaker 1: throwing them to football. Russell Wilson on Aaron Rodgers. Both
Speaker 1: could be viable options for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I would
Speaker 1: tell you, if you gotta choose between the two ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, you choose Russell Wilson. I'm not saying he's
Speaker 1: better than Aaron Rodgers, because I still think Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: even though he's not that bad man that he used
Speaker 1: to be, the brother through twenty eight touchdowns, just eleven
Speaker 1: and the septions passed with daarly four thousand yards with
Speaker 1: the New York just last year they did lose six games,
Speaker 1: six fourth quarter leads. No doubt about that, seven to
Speaker 1: one score games, No doubt about that. Aaron Rodgers can ball.
Speaker 1: I understand who he is, what he brings to the table.
Speaker 1: Here's the flip side. Russell Wilson played a few years
Speaker 1: with DK Metcalf. There's a familiarity there from their days
Speaker 1: in Seattle. And because of that, I think that goes
Speaker 1: a long way towards the Pittsburgh Steelers deciding to keep
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson until now, he's gonna cost a pretty penny
Speaker 1: and that's where it could be a bit problematic, because
Speaker 1: he's gonna want his money so as a market value
Speaker 1: to be anywhere from thirty seven to forty million for
Speaker 1: all we know, if not more. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if the Steelers should pay that. Okay, but you know what,
Speaker 1: what choice do you have? I mean, if it's really
Speaker 1: about the money, then you go get Aaron Rodgers. But
Speaker 1: if the money is not an issue, then you keep
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Because DK Metcalf and Russell Wilson have a
Speaker 1: history with one another. Right now, let's get to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen got paid again. The Bills and Allen
Speaker 1: agreed to US six year, three hundred and thirty million
Speaker 1: dollar extension for the reigning league MVP. The deal includes
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars guaranteed to Allen, making
Speaker 1: it the largest guaranteed total ever given to an NFL player,
Speaker 1: surpassing the two hundred and thirty million of Browns guaranteed
Speaker 1: to quarterback dug Sean Watson a few years ago. The
Speaker 1: extension takes Allen from the fourteenth highest average quarterback salary
Speaker 1: to todd for second at fifty five million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Only Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has the highest average
Speaker 1: annual salary at sixty million dollars a year, which is
Speaker 1: all you need to know to justify Joe Josh Allen's money.
Speaker 1: How the hell does Dak Prescott gett paid more than him?
Speaker 1: How the hell is Dak Prescott still a highest maaded
Speaker 1: quarterback at football in terms of league average per year,
Speaker 1: Because remember five, six years, three hundred and thirty million,
Speaker 1: that's an average of fifty five million of the year, same
Speaker 1: as Trevor Lawrence, same as Joe Burrow. Okay, same as
Speaker 1: same as those guys, along with Jordan Love. But if
Speaker 1: you are Dak Prescott, you're sixty million dollars the Dallas
Speaker 1: Boys with two player victories in ten years. It's paying
Speaker 1: his brother sixty million dollars annually, largest salary in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But here's what I do, like, Josh Allen, two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million guarantee you the league MVP. You've been
Speaker 1: to a couple of AFC Championship games. Guess what you
Speaker 1: deserve that kind of paper. Okay, it's the highest in
Speaker 1: the league. Shouldn't be Dak Prescott's two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: one million guarantee. I know Dak Prescott can play. I
Speaker 1: know he's no scrub. I'm not saying the brother doesn't
Speaker 1: get to deserve to get paid. I'm saying somebody who
Speaker 1: has achieved so little in the postseason shouldn't have more
Speaker 1: a higher annual salary or more a guaranteed dollars than
Speaker 1: anybody else. So the fact that Josh Allen has now
Speaker 1: eclipsed him, I'm happy about that. I'm happy about that.
Speaker 1: Let me move on to Cleveland because this is where
Speaker 1: things get a bit hilarious because listen, when you think
Speaker 1: about Cleveland and what has happened between them and Miles Garrett,
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and the Browns, that is after the team
Speaker 1: made in the highest paid non core to back in
Speaker 1: the league. Let me tell you this, y'all. You might
Speaker 1: recall that Garrett wanted out of Cleveland last month by saying, quote,
Speaker 1: I had to say this show to y'all, this quote,
Speaker 1: that show y'all's quote. While I've loved calling Cleveland my home,
Speaker 1: my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages
Speaker 1: won't allow me to be complacent. The goal was never
Speaker 1: to go from Cleveland to Canton. It has always been
Speaker 1: to compete for and win a Super Bowl. End quote,
Speaker 1: end quote. Guess what, ladies and gentlemen. That came to
Speaker 1: an end on Sunday when the Browns gave him a
Speaker 1: record four year extension four hundred and twenty three and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. The deal averages forty million dollars
Speaker 1: a year and includes a no trade clause. By the way,
Speaker 1: Garrett previously mentioned that he did not want to endure
Speaker 1: another rebuild with the Browns, who are coming off a
Speaker 1: three and fourteen season and hold the number two overall
Speaker 1: pick in this year's draft. Now, my man dan Oloski
Speaker 1: on the ESPN pointed out, luck they either got a
Speaker 1: quarterback coming in or they're gonna use the number two
Speaker 1: pick on somebody like Shador Sanders or cam Ward. So
Speaker 1: the future is right either way you slice it. If
Speaker 1: you had gone out and got Sam Donald, that ain't
Speaker 1: the answer. If you had brought in an agent Aaron
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, that ain't the answer. If you draft sha
Speaker 1: Door Sanders or cam Ward, that's not the immediate answer.
Speaker 1: Rich makes Miles Garrett position kind of phony. Now, I
Speaker 1: ain't hating on the brother. He deserves every penny. He
Speaker 1: deserves every penny. The Brother's no joke. Double digit sacks
Speaker 1: every year since twenty eighteen, only two playoff appearances and
Speaker 1: one player victory in eight seasons. I get that part.
Speaker 1: But he's an absolute stud. He's arguably the best defensive
Speaker 1: player in football. The brother is sensational. There's no credit. Look,
Speaker 1: he's a mammoth of a man. No shade on him whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing shade on this quote about I didn't
Speaker 1: come to the NFL to get to cancer and I
Speaker 1: came to compete for and win the Super Bowl. Can't
Speaker 1: do that with two playoff appearances in eight years. Do
Speaker 1: y'all know that the Cleveland Rounds have never played in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Do you know they haven't been in
Speaker 1: an AFC Championship game since nineteen eighty nine. It's been
Speaker 1: an AFC championship game in thirty six years. It's nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty nine. It's thirty six years ago. And this brother
Speaker 1: is talking about it's not about Canton. This is about
Speaker 1: compete for and playing in the Super Bowl. But you resigned.
Speaker 1: See what money does to people. See what money does.
Speaker 1: It makes the most excruciating situations seem easier to stomach.
Speaker 1: And in the case of Myles Garrett, that's a big
Speaker 1: stomach he'll need to have. He's got a lot of
Speaker 1: money to spend on food. You feel me, Way to go, bro,
Speaker 1: I am mad at you get your paper? Just say
Speaker 1: so next time, seat of the whole song and dance
Speaker 1: about compete for the Super Bowl? Right, thank you.
