1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:26,948 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio Football. Welcome to Good Morning Football. We 3 00:00:26,988 --> 00:00:30,068 Speaker 1: are live in New York City. It is Monday, March thirteenth. 4 00:00:30,068 --> 00:00:32,268 Speaker 1: I'm Sarah Walsh in for my good friend Jamie Ernol, 5 00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:35,428 Speaker 1: alongside Kyle Brant, Jason mccordy, James Palmer, and for Peter 6 00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:39,188 Speaker 1: Schrager and Guys ANNFL free agency begins on Wednesday at 7 00:00:39,188 --> 00:00:41,428 Speaker 1: four Eastern. That seems so far off because it feels 8 00:00:41,428 --> 00:00:44,228 Speaker 1: like it's already here. The two day negotiating window opens 9 00:00:44,268 --> 00:00:47,428 Speaker 1: today at noon Eastern, so teams can begin to negotiate 10 00:00:47,468 --> 00:00:50,068 Speaker 1: with the agents of unrestricted free agents. We are going 11 00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:52,548 Speaker 1: to have all the latest right here on GMFB. There's 12 00:00:52,548 --> 00:00:55,748 Speaker 1: so many possibilities that could be realized over these next 13 00:00:55,868 --> 00:00:58,308 Speaker 1: couple of days. This is crazy because Jason and I 14 00:00:58,348 --> 00:00:59,988 Speaker 1: were talking about this. You can be like way over 15 00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:01,788 Speaker 1: the cat and you just restructure. Now you're under the 16 00:01:02,148 --> 00:01:04,068 Speaker 1: I'm not an account I can't even do simple math. 17 00:01:04,108 --> 00:01:06,588 Speaker 1: But which team or player are you going to be 18 00:01:06,628 --> 00:01:10,148 Speaker 1: watching the closest over the next couple of days as 19 00:01:10,188 --> 00:01:14,708 Speaker 1: this free agency begins. James, my hometown squad Hildelphia Eagles 20 00:01:14,748 --> 00:01:16,748 Speaker 1: and one man in particular, maybe one of the most 21 00:01:16,788 --> 00:01:21,268 Speaker 1: interesting men in all of professional football, Howie Roseman, general manager. Well, 22 00:01:21,348 --> 00:01:23,308 Speaker 1: I mean what he has been able to do. If 23 00:01:23,308 --> 00:01:25,108 Speaker 1: you look at these two trips to the Super Bowl 24 00:01:25,188 --> 00:01:28,148 Speaker 1: with different quarterbacks and what they've done in terms of 25 00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:29,708 Speaker 1: this past year. I don't think there was a whole 26 00:01:29,708 --> 00:01:32,748 Speaker 1: lot of debate. Top to bottom. Philadelphia had the best 27 00:01:32,828 --> 00:01:35,948 Speaker 1: roster in the NFL, and now you have all of 28 00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:38,668 Speaker 1: these free agents that Howie Roseman's going to need to 29 00:01:38,668 --> 00:01:41,748 Speaker 1: try to navigate and what he does If you look 30 00:01:41,788 --> 00:01:44,428 Speaker 1: at these there's some birds in the top five, three 31 00:01:44,468 --> 00:01:47,908 Speaker 1: of them, one, three, and four. And he also, by 32 00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:50,548 Speaker 1: the way, has to figure out the mega contract of 33 00:01:50,628 --> 00:01:54,268 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts this offseason. How does Howie Roseman juggle all 34 00:01:54,268 --> 00:01:56,388 Speaker 1: of this? I think the most interesting part of it 35 00:01:56,508 --> 00:01:58,388 Speaker 1: is that they have so many free agents at the 36 00:01:58,468 --> 00:02:03,148 Speaker 1: same position. That makes things very interesting to Howie rose 37 00:02:03,228 --> 00:02:06,628 Speaker 1: will go about his phone calls, his money situation, because 38 00:02:06,868 --> 00:02:09,748 Speaker 1: you look at it's Hargrave and Fletcher Cox. If you 39 00:02:09,788 --> 00:02:12,108 Speaker 1: can't keep Jimon Hargraves at the top of that list, 40 00:02:12,148 --> 00:02:14,188 Speaker 1: can you bring back Fletcher Coxs On the cheaper price. Yeah, 41 00:02:14,188 --> 00:02:16,708 Speaker 1: t J. Edwards and you got Kazier white Boat playing linebacker. 42 00:02:16,748 --> 00:02:18,508 Speaker 1: They're both free agents. Can one of them walk and 43 00:02:18,588 --> 00:02:20,668 Speaker 1: keep one of them? Yeah? And that's where they're at 44 00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:22,828 Speaker 1: in a couple of these spots. And I think that's 45 00:02:22,868 --> 00:02:25,468 Speaker 1: what makes it very interesting about how the timing of 46 00:02:25,508 --> 00:02:28,068 Speaker 1: all that happens is going to be extremely important. If 47 00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,508 Speaker 1: if it plays the way how he obviously wants it 48 00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:33,468 Speaker 1: to play, it could fall in his favor in that winner. 49 00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:35,868 Speaker 1: But one thing happens out of order, well, then I 50 00:02:35,868 --> 00:02:37,668 Speaker 1: thought I could get him, and then now they're both gone, 51 00:02:37,668 --> 00:02:39,468 Speaker 1: and now I got to figure out. I think that's 52 00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:42,868 Speaker 1: going to be a fascinating team to watch because obviously 53 00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,908 Speaker 1: just one step away from the super Bowl, and that 54 00:02:45,988 --> 00:02:48,708 Speaker 1: was because of a lot of these players right here. 55 00:02:49,028 --> 00:02:51,388 Speaker 1: But the other part of it that we haven't talked 56 00:02:51,428 --> 00:02:54,068 Speaker 1: about is they got to the super Bowl by essentially 57 00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:56,948 Speaker 1: red shirting their top three picks from a year ago. 58 00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,828 Speaker 1: Jordan Davis played a fraction of the snaps. Cam Jurgens 59 00:03:00,868 --> 00:03:03,588 Speaker 1: was their pick in the second round who wowed everybody 60 00:03:03,588 --> 00:03:05,908 Speaker 1: in that building at sor if Jason Kelsey walks away, 61 00:03:06,028 --> 00:03:08,548 Speaker 1: he'll slide right in to that spot if they lose 62 00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:11,468 Speaker 1: their starting right guard and Kelsey comes back, Cam Jurgens 63 00:03:11,468 --> 00:03:13,388 Speaker 1: goes there. And then and I mentioned the linebacker spot 64 00:03:13,468 --> 00:03:15,948 Speaker 1: na Kobe Dean didn't play at all. He's gonna slide in. 65 00:03:16,028 --> 00:03:18,788 Speaker 1: So how he's in a really interesting space to move 66 00:03:18,828 --> 00:03:21,028 Speaker 1: all these pieces around. It's just the timing of all 67 00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:22,708 Speaker 1: of it during free agency is going to be the 68 00:03:22,708 --> 00:03:24,388 Speaker 1: fun part to watch for him stuff because I feel 69 00:03:24,388 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 1: like he constructed the perfect roster last year. I think 70 00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,028 Speaker 1: it's got a gut. Yes, how am I gonna do 71 00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:31,748 Speaker 1: better than that? Like that? That was a gonna bring 72 00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:34,268 Speaker 1: in Sue in the Men of the season and Lindvall, 73 00:03:34,388 --> 00:03:37,988 Speaker 1: Joseph C. J. Gardner, Johnson at the start of the season, 74 00:03:38,108 --> 00:03:41,028 Speaker 1: like right before the year starts. Unreal defensive unreal job 75 00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:43,468 Speaker 1: still good that that kills it. I'm gonna do this 76 00:03:43,588 --> 00:03:46,788 Speaker 1: very easily. Who's got the cash? Follow the money? Here 77 00:03:46,788 --> 00:03:49,148 Speaker 1: are the teams? Look at how much money the Bears. 78 00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:52,908 Speaker 1: The Bears who just just sold off the number one 79 00:03:52,948 --> 00:03:55,948 Speaker 1: overall pick also are the number one ranking for just 80 00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:59,308 Speaker 1: straight cool cash. And you guys are gonna have to 81 00:03:59,308 --> 00:04:01,348 Speaker 1: indulge me in a little bit of a crude metaphor. 82 00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:05,508 Speaker 1: So let's think of a cash based business. Okay, who 83 00:04:05,508 --> 00:04:08,108 Speaker 1: are you looking at. Let's say I don't know, it's 84 00:04:08,188 --> 00:04:11,588 Speaker 1: a gentleman's club and someone walks in and they have 85 00:04:11,708 --> 00:04:14,868 Speaker 1: like five duffel bags of cash and like they just 86 00:04:14,948 --> 00:04:16,748 Speaker 1: went to the ATM and they don't care about the 87 00:04:16,748 --> 00:04:19,908 Speaker 1: little feed everything they're walking in. And so I'm told 88 00:04:20,108 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 1: Ryan Poles has that much cash? What do they have 89 00:04:22,308 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 1: at those gentlemen's clubs? So I'm told the Poles it 90 00:04:24,548 --> 00:04:27,068 Speaker 1: actually works out perfectly. Is he not the one you're 91 00:04:27,068 --> 00:04:29,108 Speaker 1: gonna watch? And is he not the one who's gonna 92 00:04:29,148 --> 00:04:31,668 Speaker 1: start spending? No, not in a gentleman's club. Not watching? 93 00:04:31,988 --> 00:04:34,788 Speaker 1: You say, you bring up an interesting point, But he's 94 00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:37,468 Speaker 1: controlling the room. The employees are watching. I don't know 95 00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:39,268 Speaker 1: how those places work. I don't even I'm even seeing 96 00:04:39,268 --> 00:04:40,828 Speaker 1: the inside of one, but I've heard that they work 97 00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:44,028 Speaker 1: that way. So listen, you might think, oh, they just 98 00:04:44,028 --> 00:04:46,028 Speaker 1: sold the number one number one pick. Oh he's done. 99 00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,308 Speaker 1: No no, no no, no, no no. All they got was 100 00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:51,028 Speaker 1: DJ More. And if you've been watching the Bears lately, 101 00:04:51,148 --> 00:04:52,748 Speaker 1: Justin Fields will not be able to throw to DJ 102 00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:54,588 Speaker 1: More because we'll be on his back and he'll be 103 00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:56,908 Speaker 1: in in that little blue tent on the sideline. That'll 104 00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:59,668 Speaker 1: be his club in there. They need linemen, they need 105 00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 1: more receivers. They got to figure out the running back situation. 106 00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:04,068 Speaker 1: And it's like, I'll clean it up. I'll make it 107 00:05:04,148 --> 00:05:07,708 Speaker 1: more one. You ever get a gift card? Nope, and 108 00:05:07,828 --> 00:05:09,908 Speaker 1: Dolt me a wild hypothetical where you have a party 109 00:05:09,948 --> 00:05:12,308 Speaker 1: and someone gives you, like a gift card to a restaurant. 110 00:05:12,348 --> 00:05:15,668 Speaker 1: That thing burns a hole in your pocket. Benegan's fine, like, 111 00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:18,468 Speaker 1: I'm spending it before they even unwrapped the president. He's 112 00:05:18,508 --> 00:05:20,188 Speaker 1: got the greatest gift card of all time. Now you 113 00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:22,068 Speaker 1: could be prudent. And we see teams like the Colts 114 00:05:22,108 --> 00:05:23,988 Speaker 1: sometimes the Cults are way up there on that money list, 115 00:05:24,028 --> 00:05:26,548 Speaker 1: and then Chris Ballard's like check, you know he doesn't. 116 00:05:26,628 --> 00:05:28,148 Speaker 1: I don't think they are. They were the worst team 117 00:05:28,148 --> 00:05:29,748 Speaker 1: in the league last year of the Bears. They need 118 00:05:29,828 --> 00:05:31,948 Speaker 1: so many players, they have so much money. I think 119 00:05:31,948 --> 00:05:33,748 Speaker 1: they are spending that gift card, and I think they're 120 00:05:33,788 --> 00:05:35,228 Speaker 1: spending it a big I'm not saying the names are 121 00:05:35,228 --> 00:05:37,268 Speaker 1: going to be sexy, to go back to the original metaphor, 122 00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:39,308 Speaker 1: I think, but you're looking for like linemen who are 123 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:41,148 Speaker 1: going to get in front of fields and any warm 124 00:05:41,188 --> 00:05:42,708 Speaker 1: body who can block for him while I throw us 125 00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:45,428 Speaker 1: the DJ Moore that, my friends, is my statement on 126 00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:47,388 Speaker 1: this matter. You want him to splash the pot. Maybe 127 00:05:47,468 --> 00:05:51,028 Speaker 1: so it's his club splash whatever he wants. Jason mccordy, 128 00:05:51,068 --> 00:05:53,588 Speaker 1: please start talking before I talk more. I want you 129 00:05:53,628 --> 00:05:55,388 Speaker 1: to tell them, no, I didn't think I would come 130 00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:58,388 Speaker 1: back Monday morning here and the Gentleman's Club reference. That 131 00:05:58,548 --> 00:06:01,948 Speaker 1: is why you're cal brand. I thoroughly enjoyed that from 132 00:06:01,988 --> 00:06:05,388 Speaker 1: that Gentleman's Club. I'm going to Lost Vegas where they're 133 00:06:06,588 --> 00:06:09,548 Speaker 1: or a team that I am looking forward to seeing 134 00:06:09,588 --> 00:06:12,468 Speaker 1: what they do in the coming days. Josh McDaniels and 135 00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:15,028 Speaker 1: Dave Ziegler come there from New England. They're trying to 136 00:06:15,068 --> 00:06:18,148 Speaker 1: implement a new culture. And the first thing they do 137 00:06:18,308 --> 00:06:21,588 Speaker 1: they go through a season. And Derek Carr is now gone. 138 00:06:21,628 --> 00:06:24,308 Speaker 1: He joined the New Orleans Saints. So now for the Raiders, 139 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:27,228 Speaker 1: who's going to be your quarterback? Yes, last week or 140 00:06:27,348 --> 00:06:29,588 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, we spent talking about the combine and 141 00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:32,748 Speaker 1: all of those quarterbacks. Free agency is opening up and 142 00:06:32,868 --> 00:06:35,708 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is out there. When he came into the 143 00:06:35,788 --> 00:06:39,188 Speaker 1: league to New England, Josh McDaniels was his offensive coordinator, 144 00:06:39,268 --> 00:06:41,828 Speaker 1: He was the guy coaching him. Jimmy G gets in 145 00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:44,508 Speaker 1: there when Brady's down, Deflate Gate, all of that stuff 146 00:06:44,508 --> 00:06:46,708 Speaker 1: miss is four games. Jimmy G goes out there and 147 00:06:46,788 --> 00:06:50,388 Speaker 1: does what he does, winning games. Now he's available. Do 148 00:06:50,468 --> 00:06:53,108 Speaker 1: the Raiders wait for the draft and hope that their 149 00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,348 Speaker 1: first pick the seventh pick, that they're able to get 150 00:06:55,428 --> 00:06:57,348 Speaker 1: the quarterback they want, or do they go out there 151 00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:59,228 Speaker 1: and get a veteran like Jimmy G and say, hey, 152 00:06:59,268 --> 00:07:01,468 Speaker 1: you know what, if our guy falls to us, we're 153 00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:03,508 Speaker 1: able to go get him in the draft, But if not, 154 00:07:03,668 --> 00:07:06,068 Speaker 1: we have a vetter who we trust, who can lead 155 00:07:06,188 --> 00:07:09,228 Speaker 1: our team. I think all eyes will be on McDaniels 156 00:07:09,228 --> 00:07:11,428 Speaker 1: and Ziggler because they just got rid of a guy 157 00:07:11,428 --> 00:07:14,268 Speaker 1: who was there for nine seasons, and we can argue 158 00:07:14,308 --> 00:07:16,748 Speaker 1: that he didn't do enough winning and playoff games and 159 00:07:16,788 --> 00:07:18,668 Speaker 1: all of those things. He was the face of the 160 00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:21,548 Speaker 1: franchise for nine years, and now this is their opportunity 161 00:07:21,788 --> 00:07:24,748 Speaker 1: to hit reset, get a guy that they truly believe 162 00:07:24,788 --> 00:07:27,708 Speaker 1: in as they continue to move forward. So I'm excited 163 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,028 Speaker 1: to watch the Raiders. They also have eleven picks in 164 00:07:30,068 --> 00:07:32,668 Speaker 1: the draft, and you put up that list of cap space, 165 00:07:32,828 --> 00:07:35,948 Speaker 1: the Raiders are third. They have money too. Last offseason 166 00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:38,868 Speaker 1: we saw him sign Chandler Jones. They traded for Davante 167 00:07:38,988 --> 00:07:41,548 Speaker 1: gave him a deal. So Ziggler hasn't been afraid to 168 00:07:41,588 --> 00:07:43,868 Speaker 1: spend the money. Who does he see fit to go 169 00:07:43,908 --> 00:07:46,188 Speaker 1: out and come into his franchise and help continue to 170 00:07:46,188 --> 00:07:47,868 Speaker 1: build him. You know what my takeaway from the segment 171 00:07:47,988 --> 00:07:49,428 Speaker 1: is going to be, I need to be better about 172 00:07:49,468 --> 00:07:51,388 Speaker 1: gift cards because you said you spend them right away. 173 00:07:51,428 --> 00:07:56,108 Speaker 1: A takeaway, Yeah, I was. I could have gone a 174 00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:57,908 Speaker 1: lot of directions there because I'm the one that doesn't 175 00:07:57,908 --> 00:07:59,788 Speaker 1: spend him like my mom's AMMI just spend like gif cards. 176 00:07:59,828 --> 00:08:02,348 Speaker 1: You spend to the point and then I'm what the 177 00:08:02,388 --> 00:08:04,668 Speaker 1: people want when you when you buy the game cards 178 00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:06,388 Speaker 1: because they're like, she you just spend one hundred money, 179 00:08:06,908 --> 00:08:08,828 Speaker 1: She's never going to use it. My mom got me 180 00:08:08,868 --> 00:08:11,108 Speaker 1: like a coupon book to put gift cards in because 181 00:08:11,108 --> 00:08:15,388 Speaker 1: I don't anyway I need right, Yeah, Wendy who, Yeah, 182 00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:18,348 Speaker 1: it was very concerned about the Ukrainian football. I'm really 183 00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:21,748 Speaker 1: digressing here. She's very into the Kyle's documentary on the 184 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:25,148 Speaker 1: documentary Chirainian Football Players. Again, let's go back to what 185 00:08:25,148 --> 00:08:26,908 Speaker 1: I should be talking about and who I'm keeping an 186 00:08:26,948 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 1: eye into, the Jets, because I feel like they're holding 187 00:08:29,308 --> 00:08:31,148 Speaker 1: up our lives here, They're holding up our week here 188 00:08:31,148 --> 00:08:33,068 Speaker 1: on GMFB. Let's just let's move on, let's get it 189 00:08:33,148 --> 00:08:36,188 Speaker 1: Donean's exhausted, and then Ian can't say that they're just 190 00:08:36,188 --> 00:08:39,668 Speaker 1: waiting any longer for Aaron Rodgers until that move is made. 191 00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:41,948 Speaker 1: I think it's the one thing that everyone expects to happen. 192 00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:44,468 Speaker 1: We're waiting to happen. It hasn't happened. I think at 193 00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:46,348 Speaker 1: this point now would be shocking if it didn't happen. 194 00:08:46,388 --> 00:08:48,628 Speaker 1: And then I'm sitting here contemplating, like how is it 195 00:08:48,668 --> 00:08:50,948 Speaker 1: going to happen? Because we talked about like it's not 196 00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:53,148 Speaker 1: you know, there's things that hold it up. Money there, 197 00:08:53,468 --> 00:08:55,588 Speaker 1: there's just things that you know, we're obviously very impatient. 198 00:08:55,628 --> 00:08:57,148 Speaker 1: We just want the news to come out, and there's 199 00:08:57,428 --> 00:09:00,148 Speaker 1: you know x's and os, and you know, teas that 200 00:09:00,188 --> 00:09:02,308 Speaker 1: have to be crossed and eyes that have to be dotted, right, 201 00:09:02,468 --> 00:09:04,708 Speaker 1: But like, at some point, does Aaron just put out 202 00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:06,988 Speaker 1: a tweet and say it's over, It's done, Like, how 203 00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:08,988 Speaker 1: is this coming out? Is this an insider breaking it? 204 00:09:09,068 --> 00:09:12,068 Speaker 1: Is it Aaron Rodgers controlling the narrative the way Brady did. 205 00:09:12,508 --> 00:09:15,108 Speaker 1: I think that that it changes everything in terms of 206 00:09:15,428 --> 00:09:17,188 Speaker 1: the Jets have to go all in, like this is 207 00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:20,428 Speaker 1: your window. This is a Super Bowl contending situation when 208 00:09:20,468 --> 00:09:22,788 Speaker 1: you bring Aaron Rodgers there, and then obviously it impacts 209 00:09:22,788 --> 00:09:24,588 Speaker 1: the rest of the league. So the Jets the team 210 00:09:24,588 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 1: I'm keeping an eye on, and not for any other 211 00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:28,988 Speaker 1: reason other than we're just waiting on this Aaron Rodgers news, Like, 212 00:09:29,228 --> 00:09:30,788 Speaker 1: let's get it. I think you put it perfectly. I 213 00:09:30,868 --> 00:09:32,868 Speaker 1: think at this point the shock would be if he 214 00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:35,988 Speaker 1: stayed Bay. We've come that far, We've kind of figuring 215 00:09:36,028 --> 00:09:38,148 Speaker 1: out where the chips are gonna fall. Let me ask you, Jay, 216 00:09:38,668 --> 00:09:41,068 Speaker 1: Let's say we're all kind of assuming I think loosely, 217 00:09:41,068 --> 00:09:43,708 Speaker 1: the Garroppolos and the Raiders. If it does happen, does 218 00:09:43,748 --> 00:09:45,428 Speaker 1: that fire you up? Like? How do you feel about 219 00:09:45,468 --> 00:09:48,668 Speaker 1: that move? You have a guy, though, doesn't feel like 220 00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:51,028 Speaker 1: they just changed Derek Carr's face. You can say that, 221 00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:53,708 Speaker 1: but I will say from a system standpoint of Via 222 00:09:53,788 --> 00:09:55,668 Speaker 1: McDaniels and you want to run the offense that you 223 00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:58,108 Speaker 1: want to run. Car maybe doesn't fit that system. So 224 00:09:58,268 --> 00:10:00,468 Speaker 1: maybe the same guy, but in our system, we feel 225 00:10:00,508 --> 00:10:02,348 Speaker 1: like he can be a different guy. So I think 226 00:10:02,428 --> 00:10:04,988 Speaker 1: that could go a long way. Zig have the chance 227 00:10:05,028 --> 00:10:08,468 Speaker 1: now to start more operating in a manner of his players. 228 00:10:08,588 --> 00:10:10,588 Speaker 1: I mean, when you inherit things as a head coach 229 00:10:10,628 --> 00:10:13,028 Speaker 1: and a general manager, you would take that whole roster. 230 00:10:13,228 --> 00:10:15,428 Speaker 1: You do a lot of self evaluation in that first year. 231 00:10:15,748 --> 00:10:18,228 Speaker 1: Now this offseason, they do get an opportunity to start 232 00:10:18,228 --> 00:10:19,868 Speaker 1: going like, we'd like to move this piece here. We 233 00:10:19,988 --> 00:10:22,188 Speaker 1: worked stuck with that, let's go here. It is going 234 00:10:22,228 --> 00:10:23,828 Speaker 1: to be an interesting team to watch in Vegas because 235 00:10:23,868 --> 00:10:25,588 Speaker 1: now you get a chance to have their their hands 236 00:10:25,588 --> 00:10:28,988 Speaker 1: on it a little bit and just changing faces. Apparently. Absolutely, 237 00:10:29,268 --> 00:10:33,868 Speaker 1: it is time for a segment. We're calling Palmer, James Palmer. 238 00:10:33,908 --> 00:10:35,708 Speaker 1: We're going to ask you about some things you have 239 00:10:35,828 --> 00:10:38,508 Speaker 1: your golden eye on in free agency. I think we 240 00:10:38,588 --> 00:10:40,548 Speaker 1: just wanted to put a tuxedo on you address this 241 00:10:40,588 --> 00:10:43,188 Speaker 1: thing up. You know. Let's go Okay, We're gonna start 242 00:10:43,228 --> 00:10:46,428 Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl fifty seven champion Kansas City Chiefs. 243 00:10:46,548 --> 00:10:50,068 Speaker 1: How are they planning to keep their offense stocked up 244 00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:52,668 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three? Yea, this is my understanding. They'd 245 00:10:52,748 --> 00:10:55,588 Speaker 1: like to keep the same group around Patrick Mahomes that 246 00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:58,628 Speaker 1: they finished the season with. If you look at those guys, 247 00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:01,828 Speaker 1: it was Canarius Tony, it was mvs. Obviously, both those 248 00:11:01,868 --> 00:11:04,308 Speaker 1: guys are under contract. And it is interesting because they 249 00:11:04,428 --> 00:11:07,108 Speaker 1: do believe Darius Tony's their best receiver on the team, 250 00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,668 Speaker 1: and they believe that he has not unlocked all of 251 00:11:09,708 --> 00:11:11,748 Speaker 1: his potential in terms of maybe some of the things 252 00:11:11,748 --> 00:11:14,028 Speaker 1: that they think they can do with him year two, 253 00:11:14,028 --> 00:11:17,228 Speaker 1: with a full off season, they're very excited with him. Now. 254 00:11:17,268 --> 00:11:19,148 Speaker 1: The other player in the receiver room that they'd like 255 00:11:19,228 --> 00:11:21,628 Speaker 1: to bring back, that's the free agent Juju Smith Schuster. 256 00:11:21,748 --> 00:11:24,988 Speaker 1: They expect or hope I could say, to resign Juju 257 00:11:25,028 --> 00:11:28,028 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster and bring him back, so it would be 258 00:11:28,268 --> 00:11:32,028 Speaker 1: essentially the same group around Patrick Mahomes that he finished 259 00:11:32,068 --> 00:11:33,748 Speaker 1: the season with and won the Super Bowl with. Obviously, 260 00:11:33,748 --> 00:11:36,148 Speaker 1: the other past catcher you can say is is Travis Kelsey. 261 00:11:36,148 --> 00:11:39,068 Speaker 1: And that mix doesn't mean they're done looking. It doesn't 262 00:11:39,108 --> 00:11:41,548 Speaker 1: mean also that other wide receivers I'm told are not 263 00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:45,348 Speaker 1: blowing up Patrick Mahomes's phone. To my understanding, guys have 264 00:11:45,428 --> 00:11:48,308 Speaker 1: been calling him this entire offseason saying can I come 265 00:11:48,348 --> 00:11:50,548 Speaker 1: to Kansas City? Can I come and play with you? Guys? 266 00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:52,508 Speaker 1: Like that is a real thing that is happening. So 267 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:54,908 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're adding anybody else. And Brett Beach 268 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:56,988 Speaker 1: is one of these general managers we've talked about, Howie 269 00:11:57,028 --> 00:12:00,148 Speaker 1: Roseman that will always be weighing every single option that 270 00:12:00,268 --> 00:12:02,428 Speaker 1: is out there on the table. There are receivers that 271 00:12:02,428 --> 00:12:05,468 Speaker 1: are interested, but right now the plan appears to be 272 00:12:05,468 --> 00:12:07,748 Speaker 1: bringing back everybody that they were finishing the season with, 273 00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:10,188 Speaker 1: which is a terrible thing to have. But again, when 274 00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:13,108 Speaker 1: everybody wants to come, maybe a discount could be there 275 00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:16,188 Speaker 1: in play and could be interesting. All the names you mentioned, 276 00:12:16,188 --> 00:12:19,268 Speaker 1: all of her was Travis Kelsey will be back catching passes, 277 00:12:20,508 --> 00:12:22,588 Speaker 1: figure out everything else, and everything else falls and as 278 00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:25,308 Speaker 1: long as Kelsey's there, everything's going to be okay. Yesterday 279 00:12:25,308 --> 00:12:27,188 Speaker 1: we saw a trade to Dolphins. We're able to get 280 00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:30,468 Speaker 1: Jail and Ramsey over from the La Rams this time 281 00:12:30,468 --> 00:12:32,668 Speaker 1: of year, Will we see any more trades in the 282 00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:35,428 Speaker 1: coming days, I think, Jason, if you look at now 283 00:12:35,908 --> 00:12:40,508 Speaker 1: through draft day trades, could be a very real possibility, 284 00:12:40,548 --> 00:12:42,508 Speaker 1: maybe more so than we've seen in some other seasons, 285 00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:44,428 Speaker 1: because you look at the free agent class and it's 286 00:12:44,468 --> 00:12:48,028 Speaker 1: a thin free agent class overall and at some specific 287 00:12:48,108 --> 00:12:50,628 Speaker 1: positions that also line up in terms of the draft 288 00:12:50,708 --> 00:12:53,148 Speaker 1: that are thin at some of those same positions. So 289 00:12:53,188 --> 00:12:55,428 Speaker 1: how else could you acquire that a talent is you 290 00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:57,548 Speaker 1: go out and you make a trade, and that is 291 00:12:57,588 --> 00:13:00,148 Speaker 1: more feasible now when you look at where the salary 292 00:13:00,188 --> 00:13:02,748 Speaker 1: cap is going over the next couple of seasons, as 293 00:13:02,788 --> 00:13:04,748 Speaker 1: that's going to continue to climb, you can do a 294 00:13:04,828 --> 00:13:07,348 Speaker 1: trade and sign a player. Look, I was standing in 295 00:13:07,348 --> 00:13:09,948 Speaker 1: Philadelphia on Draft Day when they go and make that 296 00:13:09,988 --> 00:13:11,868 Speaker 1: trade for a j Brown when they couldn't get a 297 00:13:11,868 --> 00:13:14,508 Speaker 1: contract done. Do you go and look at players? If 298 00:13:14,548 --> 00:13:16,948 Speaker 1: you're an organization around the league, on a guy who's 299 00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:19,148 Speaker 1: not a first round pick, that doesn't have the fifth 300 00:13:19,188 --> 00:13:22,188 Speaker 1: year option, and you're having trouble figuring out a long 301 00:13:22,308 --> 00:13:24,828 Speaker 1: term contract, do you trade for one of those guys? 302 00:13:24,988 --> 00:13:27,428 Speaker 1: Does a new regime come in, say like in Charlotte 303 00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:30,788 Speaker 1: and Jeremy Chin doesn't fit into what jo everro wants 304 00:13:30,828 --> 00:13:32,548 Speaker 1: to do with that defense, and he's in the last 305 00:13:32,588 --> 00:13:34,188 Speaker 1: year of his deal. Do you go and try to 306 00:13:34,228 --> 00:13:35,868 Speaker 1: make a trade for a player like that. I think 307 00:13:35,908 --> 00:13:37,868 Speaker 1: that is something we have to really keep an eye on, 308 00:13:38,028 --> 00:13:40,508 Speaker 1: considering all the things I mentioned in the landscape of 309 00:13:40,548 --> 00:13:43,348 Speaker 1: things between now and the draft. I'm looking at you 310 00:13:43,348 --> 00:13:45,908 Speaker 1: and the tuxedo up there were you a big golden 311 00:13:45,988 --> 00:13:48,388 Speaker 1: nine and sixty four player, big time. But I was 312 00:13:48,468 --> 00:13:50,708 Speaker 1: usually the guy who was like staring at the corner 313 00:13:51,148 --> 00:13:54,308 Speaker 1: like this and then just get blasted and does everybody 314 00:13:54,308 --> 00:13:56,508 Speaker 1: else is like way better than walking into them? And 315 00:13:56,548 --> 00:13:58,188 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, I'm the guy that keeps like 316 00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:00,748 Speaker 1: running into the wall. At the same time, well, a 317 00:14:00,788 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 1: Mario Kark guy, But I understand that if the Bears 318 00:14:03,268 --> 00:14:05,348 Speaker 1: spend many years just run into the corner. It's been 319 00:14:05,348 --> 00:14:08,028 Speaker 1: a tough stretch of Bears football, but now it's exciting 320 00:14:08,068 --> 00:14:10,428 Speaker 1: as hell. First of all, based news of the weekend 321 00:14:10,508 --> 00:14:13,068 Speaker 1: the trade, were surprised that came down on Friday night, 322 00:14:13,108 --> 00:14:14,748 Speaker 1: the Bears trade and number one picked to the Panthers. 323 00:14:14,868 --> 00:14:16,628 Speaker 1: The timing of it is something that we've talked about 324 00:14:16,668 --> 00:14:19,028 Speaker 1: on the show today and I've talked about it at length, 325 00:14:19,068 --> 00:14:21,548 Speaker 1: but I think the timing is extremely important. I think 326 00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:23,628 Speaker 1: you look at the Hall that they ended up getting, 327 00:14:23,908 --> 00:14:26,188 Speaker 1: and we were talking about this in the commercial break KLUN. 328 00:14:26,188 --> 00:14:27,868 Speaker 1: Now you look at teams that were interested in maybe 329 00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:30,828 Speaker 1: going up and whether it's Indianapolis, whether it's Houston, teams 330 00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:33,948 Speaker 1: that were quarterback needy, those are ahead of Carolina in 331 00:14:33,988 --> 00:14:36,068 Speaker 1: the draft, would you get as much capital? But I 332 00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:38,748 Speaker 1: also believe this is pretty much in line if you 333 00:14:38,908 --> 00:14:41,828 Speaker 1: really read between the lines or listen to everything Ryan 334 00:14:41,868 --> 00:14:44,188 Speaker 1: Poles is saying, is that Justin Fields is their guy. 335 00:14:44,308 --> 00:14:46,588 Speaker 1: And I think that's an important aspect all of this 336 00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:49,548 Speaker 1: is that they've shown him trust very early on, late 337 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,508 Speaker 1: in the year. I talk offensive coordinator Luke Getz and 338 00:14:51,548 --> 00:14:54,028 Speaker 1: he kind of told me Justin's really starting to trust 339 00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:56,508 Speaker 1: things with us. He's starting to trust what he sees 340 00:14:56,508 --> 00:14:58,308 Speaker 1: a little bit. Now these aren't the greatest of highlights 341 00:14:58,388 --> 00:15:00,268 Speaker 1: right now, but he's starting to play better as the 342 00:15:00,308 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 1: season goes on in terms of the way he's seeing 343 00:15:03,468 --> 00:15:06,028 Speaker 1: all of this. Now, they're showing trust, I think in 344 00:15:06,188 --> 00:15:09,388 Speaker 1: Justin Fields in return, and it might just be an ironic, 345 00:15:09,588 --> 00:15:11,708 Speaker 1: you know, conversation we had because they were playing the 346 00:15:11,748 --> 00:15:14,788 Speaker 1: Eagles leading into this game, but we talked about the 347 00:15:15,108 --> 00:15:18,188 Speaker 1: blueprint that Philadelphia had with Jalen Hurts and surrounding a 348 00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:21,908 Speaker 1: quarterback with as many talented players as possible to see 349 00:15:21,908 --> 00:15:24,628 Speaker 1: how truly good that player can be. We've seen Justin 350 00:15:24,668 --> 00:15:26,588 Speaker 1: Fields at times put this team on his back. But 351 00:15:26,628 --> 00:15:28,668 Speaker 1: now let's see what happens with all of this capital 352 00:15:28,668 --> 00:15:31,828 Speaker 1: and everything around him, and how they build all of 353 00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:34,908 Speaker 1: this around Justin Fields. There's a there's a plan in 354 00:15:34,988 --> 00:15:37,388 Speaker 1: place that I talked with Getsy about and they said, 355 00:15:37,428 --> 00:15:39,308 Speaker 1: look at the growth that Jalen Hurts made. We look 356 00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:41,148 Speaker 1: at the growth that Justin Fields made week one and 357 00:15:41,188 --> 00:15:43,468 Speaker 1: week two to the end of the season. That gives 358 00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:45,428 Speaker 1: them the optimism and I think allowed them to make 359 00:15:45,428 --> 00:15:47,988 Speaker 1: this trade and be confident in moving forward with Justin Fields. 360 00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:50,668 Speaker 1: There's a lot of chatter there was about could the 361 00:15:50,748 --> 00:15:53,588 Speaker 1: Bear shock the world and take a quarterback? And I 362 00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:55,308 Speaker 1: think what I love what you said is that this 363 00:15:55,548 --> 00:15:57,588 Speaker 1: eliminates that for the next six weeks. Sin, this is 364 00:15:57,628 --> 00:15:59,388 Speaker 1: a Justin yard guy, and we're gonna get your wide 365 00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:01,148 Speaker 1: receiver and we're gonna get you help. It's a really 366 00:16:01,148 --> 00:16:03,348 Speaker 1: really strong statement. Bears no longer on the clock. It's 367 00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:05,388 Speaker 1: the Panthers coming up. We're trying to find a place 368 00:16:05,428 --> 00:16:08,828 Speaker 1: for every quarterback. Yeah, Baker Mayfield was looking for a place. 369 00:16:09,148 --> 00:16:12,868 Speaker 1: Is it possible that Baker Mayfield goes in Tom Brady's 370 00:16:12,908 --> 00:16:17,268 Speaker 1: old job. We're gonna talk about Baker and the Bucks. Sarah, 371 00:16:17,388 --> 00:16:34,628 Speaker 1: put your helmet on. Oh yeah, the quarterbacks to come. 372 00:16:34,748 --> 00:16:37,028 Speaker 1: It's a very exciting time. It's almost a frenzy. You 373 00:16:37,028 --> 00:16:39,668 Speaker 1: could even say that's the draft we've talked for Asian frenzy. 374 00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:42,828 Speaker 1: That's draft we talked earlier about the Carolina Panthers. It's official. 375 00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:44,508 Speaker 1: They are on the clock. They trade it up to 376 00:16:44,548 --> 00:16:47,588 Speaker 1: the top spot, and maybe maybe not they take Bryce 377 00:16:47,668 --> 00:16:50,148 Speaker 1: Young with the first overall pick in Kansas City several 378 00:16:50,148 --> 00:16:52,508 Speaker 1: weeks from now. But the Houston Texans are sitting there 379 00:16:52,668 --> 00:16:55,628 Speaker 1: at that number two overall pick. James Palmer, you're sitting 380 00:16:55,628 --> 00:16:57,948 Speaker 1: here at the table with us this morning, you know 381 00:16:58,068 --> 00:17:00,788 Speaker 1: that beautiful Texans organization. Where do you think they go 382 00:17:00,828 --> 00:17:03,348 Speaker 1: with this? And what's the state of the nation right now? 383 00:17:03,388 --> 00:17:05,468 Speaker 1: First things first, I didn't think they were going to 384 00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:07,428 Speaker 1: trade up to number one from number two for a 385 00:17:07,428 --> 00:17:09,908 Speaker 1: few reasons. One, I just said, how come we're on 386 00:17:10,668 --> 00:17:14,108 Speaker 1: It's only Monday, buddy, It's only Monday. And so you 387 00:17:14,148 --> 00:17:17,228 Speaker 1: don't go from two to one. It's a little tougher 388 00:17:17,268 --> 00:17:19,468 Speaker 1: to sell that to the number one team when a 389 00:17:19,468 --> 00:17:21,868 Speaker 1: team like is coming from nine. The further a team 390 00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,988 Speaker 1: has to go, the more they have to give up, 391 00:17:24,028 --> 00:17:26,828 Speaker 1: the more capital the number one team gets. That just 392 00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:28,148 Speaker 1: plays a part of it. But also if you know 393 00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:30,388 Speaker 1: the way Nickossario is wired in terms of running and 394 00:17:30,388 --> 00:17:32,788 Speaker 1: putting this roster together, we know there's many holes. They 395 00:17:32,868 --> 00:17:35,948 Speaker 1: have money, a lot of it, and they have draft picks, 396 00:17:35,948 --> 00:17:37,708 Speaker 1: and they didn't want to lose some of those draft picks. 397 00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:39,668 Speaker 1: So the thought always was they were going to stay 398 00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:42,108 Speaker 1: at that number two spot. Now, the other aspect of 399 00:17:42,148 --> 00:17:45,028 Speaker 1: it is they have a new offensive coordinator and Bobby 400 00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:48,068 Speaker 1: slow At coming in that runs that Kyle Shanahan system 401 00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:51,428 Speaker 1: had been there obviously in San Francisco and has run 402 00:17:51,468 --> 00:17:53,828 Speaker 1: through a lot of different quarterbacks as they've been putting 403 00:17:53,828 --> 00:17:56,148 Speaker 1: this thing together, obviously playing three of them and taking 404 00:17:56,228 --> 00:17:59,588 Speaker 1: Brock Purty to the NFC Championship game, which also plays 405 00:17:59,628 --> 00:18:02,668 Speaker 1: a little bit into how this team's thinking is maybe 406 00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:06,228 Speaker 1: different than some other teams thinking. Damika Ryan's obviously running 407 00:18:06,228 --> 00:18:10,148 Speaker 1: the defense of that team, realizes it is fifty three 408 00:18:10,148 --> 00:18:13,068 Speaker 1: guys the quarterback obviously is extremely important, but this roster 409 00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:14,828 Speaker 1: needs to be put together in a better manner to 410 00:18:14,828 --> 00:18:16,548 Speaker 1: where we could be maybe in a position too if 411 00:18:16,588 --> 00:18:19,348 Speaker 1: our quarterback goes down, we still can play very good football. Obviously, 412 00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,068 Speaker 1: we know it's a quarterback driven league. We know the 413 00:18:21,108 --> 00:18:24,308 Speaker 1: Texans need a quarterback. But also when I mentioned Slok, 414 00:18:24,428 --> 00:18:27,468 Speaker 1: they've talked about being able to manipulate this defense. I 415 00:18:27,468 --> 00:18:30,868 Speaker 1: mean they play this offense to whatever quarterback they land 416 00:18:30,908 --> 00:18:33,388 Speaker 1: because that's the other part of this. These quarterbacks, all 417 00:18:33,388 --> 00:18:36,468 Speaker 1: four of them, play the position differently, have different skill sets, 418 00:18:36,588 --> 00:18:38,828 Speaker 1: have different traits the teams like about them, have different 419 00:18:38,828 --> 00:18:41,708 Speaker 1: shortcomings that teams like about them. This offensive staff, in 420 00:18:41,748 --> 00:18:44,308 Speaker 1: this offense, led by Bobby Sloan, believe that they can 421 00:18:44,348 --> 00:18:47,668 Speaker 1: find ways to manipulate their offense to best suit whoever 422 00:18:47,708 --> 00:18:50,348 Speaker 1: they end up landing with. So that malleability in a 423 00:18:50,388 --> 00:18:53,308 Speaker 1: sense with their offense I think does play in their 424 00:18:53,308 --> 00:18:56,908 Speaker 1: favor for taking whoever isn't taken. But here's the thing, 425 00:18:57,428 --> 00:19:00,428 Speaker 1: you're not secured you're losing the guy you want at 426 00:19:00,468 --> 00:19:03,348 Speaker 1: number two. Yeah, what if you like CJ. Stroud more 427 00:19:03,388 --> 00:19:05,228 Speaker 1: than you liked Bryce Young and you didn't have to 428 00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:07,588 Speaker 1: get up and they picked Bryson or vice versa. If 429 00:19:07,588 --> 00:19:09,428 Speaker 1: it's flipped, they are in a spot to where they 430 00:19:09,428 --> 00:19:12,628 Speaker 1: could still get their guy and not give up the capitol. 431 00:19:12,748 --> 00:19:15,188 Speaker 1: And I think that's obviously the best case scenario for 432 00:19:15,228 --> 00:19:17,388 Speaker 1: Houston because they have so many other needs on that 433 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:19,708 Speaker 1: team that they're still in a really good spot. They 434 00:19:19,708 --> 00:19:21,388 Speaker 1: just weren't going to move up. Well, you got teams 435 00:19:21,428 --> 00:19:23,388 Speaker 1: chomping at the bit. Let's do us ourselves a favorite, guys, 436 00:19:23,468 --> 00:19:26,828 Speaker 1: look at the top four picks in this draft. Here's 437 00:19:26,868 --> 00:19:29,228 Speaker 1: the teams, all right, So the Panthers get there for 438 00:19:29,348 --> 00:19:31,868 Speaker 1: number one, they're gonna go with the quarterback. JP just 439 00:19:31,948 --> 00:19:33,508 Speaker 1: laid out the state of the Texans, and then you 440 00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:38,028 Speaker 1: get to a very interesting, potentially spicy Cardinals pick. And 441 00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:40,468 Speaker 1: then the Colts, who are always a factor and run 442 00:19:40,508 --> 00:19:42,628 Speaker 1: a senior tour of quarterbacks every single year that I 443 00:19:42,628 --> 00:19:44,268 Speaker 1: think they want to get off and maybe start anew 444 00:19:44,588 --> 00:19:47,908 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy, point your eyes at this list. Talk to 445 00:19:47,908 --> 00:19:51,348 Speaker 1: me about number three. Kyler's there, he's paid. He's hurt 446 00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:53,988 Speaker 1: in the news last week for needing to quote unquote 447 00:19:54,028 --> 00:19:56,188 Speaker 1: grow up from a teammate. What's the state of the 448 00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:58,468 Speaker 1: nation there. We think they're in an interesting spot. And 449 00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:00,988 Speaker 1: John Gannon comes over there to become the head coach, 450 00:20:01,028 --> 00:20:03,308 Speaker 1: and he gets interviewed to fursa press conference and he 451 00:20:03,308 --> 00:20:06,348 Speaker 1: talks about he doesn't this job if Kyler Murray isn't 452 00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:08,908 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Talks about his skill set of being able 453 00:20:08,988 --> 00:20:11,988 Speaker 1: to handcuff defense as the skill set under center in 454 00:20:12,108 --> 00:20:14,948 Speaker 1: the gun. Just raved about Kyler Murray. So, if you're 455 00:20:14,988 --> 00:20:17,548 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, you're sitting there, you have the three spot. 456 00:20:17,628 --> 00:20:20,548 Speaker 1: I think the perfect situation for them are the Indianapolis 457 00:20:20,548 --> 00:20:22,908 Speaker 1: Colts or right below them in that fourth spot. So 458 00:20:22,948 --> 00:20:25,548 Speaker 1: what James was kind of hitting off with the top quarterbacks, 459 00:20:25,588 --> 00:20:28,188 Speaker 1: we don't know who is what guy? Who loves this 460 00:20:28,188 --> 00:20:30,788 Speaker 1: guy or that guy? First two quarterbacks come off the board. 461 00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:33,668 Speaker 1: Who's to say the Raiders sitting there at seven, the 462 00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:35,988 Speaker 1: first two guys that come off those aren't the guy. 463 00:20:36,028 --> 00:20:38,628 Speaker 1: That's not the guy that they wanted. Yea. So now 464 00:20:38,628 --> 00:20:41,188 Speaker 1: the guy they wanted is available, do they jump up 465 00:20:41,268 --> 00:20:43,788 Speaker 1: to that three spot instead of Arizona to be able 466 00:20:43,828 --> 00:20:46,668 Speaker 1: to draft their guy because they're unsure whether the Colts 467 00:20:46,668 --> 00:20:48,268 Speaker 1: want him at four? So I think this is a 468 00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:51,308 Speaker 1: great opportunity for the Cardinals, where yes, you do trade 469 00:20:51,348 --> 00:20:53,708 Speaker 1: this pick if it happens that way, and it's a 470 00:20:53,708 --> 00:20:55,868 Speaker 1: team like the Raiders that's willing to get in front 471 00:20:55,908 --> 00:20:57,988 Speaker 1: of the Colts and give you a haul of picks 472 00:20:58,108 --> 00:20:59,948 Speaker 1: to be able to do so. But if not, if 473 00:20:59,988 --> 00:21:02,348 Speaker 1: I'm the Cardinals, I stay put and I draft the 474 00:21:02,468 --> 00:21:06,308 Speaker 1: best available player in his draft at that number three spot, 475 00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:08,908 Speaker 1: which could be a guy like Will Anderson, somebody that 476 00:21:08,948 --> 00:21:10,748 Speaker 1: you think will come in and be the face of 477 00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:14,348 Speaker 1: your franchise and impact everybody around them. Because they don't 478 00:21:14,388 --> 00:21:16,508 Speaker 1: feel the need to go for a quarterback. You can 479 00:21:16,548 --> 00:21:19,828 Speaker 1: get the best available player in the entire draft role 480 00:21:19,868 --> 00:21:21,988 Speaker 1: with Kyler Though. You stick with him, you're married to him, 481 00:21:22,028 --> 00:21:24,428 Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna roll with him. What's your other option? 482 00:21:24,468 --> 00:21:26,308 Speaker 1: I mean, after the quarterback, you draft a quarterback guy 483 00:21:26,708 --> 00:21:29,148 Speaker 1: and pay Kyler Murray all of this money because you're 484 00:21:29,148 --> 00:21:31,468 Speaker 1: not trading him. He's injured right now, he just has 485 00:21:31,508 --> 00:21:35,028 Speaker 1: this contract. And maybe John Gannon with smoking mirrors, but 486 00:21:35,028 --> 00:21:37,348 Speaker 1: the way he raved about Kyler Murray, I think they're 487 00:21:37,348 --> 00:21:39,548 Speaker 1: gonna roll with. I mean, they just paid the guy. 488 00:21:39,628 --> 00:21:41,788 Speaker 1: Don't get them all of that money. And now just 489 00:21:41,828 --> 00:21:43,948 Speaker 1: a year later you're saying, oh, not even a year 490 00:21:44,028 --> 00:21:45,828 Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, well, let's go ahead and move on. No, 491 00:21:45,948 --> 00:21:47,948 Speaker 1: I think you stick with Kyler Murray and you try 492 00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:49,588 Speaker 1: to build around him. I have a question about it. 493 00:21:49,588 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 1: I want to get to the steal because we have 494 00:21:51,468 --> 00:21:53,108 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have someone with the tablehoods this kind 495 00:21:53,108 --> 00:21:55,028 Speaker 1: of insight into the Texans. I joked about this earlier. 496 00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:56,788 Speaker 1: They should have the number one picker. It was a 497 00:21:56,868 --> 00:21:59,668 Speaker 1: ridiculous thing that happened Week eighteen, which they won a 498 00:21:59,708 --> 00:22:01,708 Speaker 1: game against the Cold Seaman. I was, I was on 499 00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:03,548 Speaker 1: air and I said it was they messed it up, 500 00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:05,108 Speaker 1: and I think they're a way to lose games. And 501 00:22:05,148 --> 00:22:07,428 Speaker 1: it's not the players. You do it organizationally. You say, 502 00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:09,068 Speaker 1: I want to see what we have from the backup, 503 00:22:09,188 --> 00:22:11,428 Speaker 1: or you know someone's got hamstrength, tightness. There are ways, 504 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:13,148 Speaker 1: and it's happened before. What do you think about that 505 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:15,388 Speaker 1: as an organization? How was that for them? They handled 506 00:22:15,388 --> 00:22:17,108 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the last play of the 507 00:22:17,148 --> 00:22:19,508 Speaker 1: season away to get the number two. That's why we're 508 00:22:19,548 --> 00:22:21,228 Speaker 1: talking about them right now. They could just be sitting 509 00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:22,788 Speaker 1: pretty well. I do know if they were sitting at 510 00:22:22,828 --> 00:22:24,908 Speaker 1: number one. We probably would not have seen a trade 511 00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:27,068 Speaker 1: at number one. That wouldn't have happened, right, and the 512 00:22:27,068 --> 00:22:29,508 Speaker 1: Bears wouldn't have gotten the hall that they had. They 513 00:22:29,628 --> 00:22:32,948 Speaker 1: might have gotten some at two, yeah, for sure, somebody 514 00:22:32,988 --> 00:22:34,828 Speaker 1: coming up to two. But it did change the entire 515 00:22:34,908 --> 00:22:36,868 Speaker 1: landscape of the draft, and it may change the future 516 00:22:37,268 --> 00:22:40,428 Speaker 1: of the Houston Texans organization for the foreseeable future. Missing 517 00:22:40,468 --> 00:22:42,428 Speaker 1: on a quarterback at the top of the draft. We 518 00:22:42,468 --> 00:22:45,468 Speaker 1: have seen what it can do to your organization for 519 00:22:45,508 --> 00:22:48,028 Speaker 1: a number of years. There's people around the league that 520 00:22:48,068 --> 00:22:49,748 Speaker 1: you talk to that'll tell you like, that's set you 521 00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:51,868 Speaker 1: back five years. I know if you're missing. People were 522 00:22:51,908 --> 00:22:54,268 Speaker 1: throwing chairs when Jordan Nikins cut that. I do think 523 00:22:54,268 --> 00:22:56,388 Speaker 1: there was a lot of unhappy people in Houston. I 524 00:22:56,428 --> 00:22:58,508 Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier. We've had a lot of hours of 525 00:22:58,548 --> 00:23:00,908 Speaker 1: television between the time I first mentioned it and now. 526 00:23:01,108 --> 00:23:04,628 Speaker 1: I was hoping we could get cal mcnarri's face into this, like, 527 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,788 Speaker 1: I'm not great at it. I don't have a mustad 528 00:23:07,988 --> 00:23:09,988 Speaker 1: in the booth. But he's no, he's on the sideline. 529 00:23:10,108 --> 00:23:11,988 Speaker 1: He was already on the field. He's probably ready to 530 00:23:12,028 --> 00:23:15,788 Speaker 1: storm the field. He was gonna come across we're number one, 531 00:23:15,948 --> 00:23:18,468 Speaker 1: you know, but no, he was on the sideline right there, 532 00:23:18,548 --> 00:23:20,428 Speaker 1: and they end up getting the you know, the number 533 00:23:20,468 --> 00:23:23,228 Speaker 1: two pick. How would you. I'm not sure what type 534 00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:28,308 Speaker 1: of the space was, very kind of like that's happening. Yeah, 535 00:23:28,388 --> 00:23:31,348 Speaker 1: what just happened. And I don't know how large or 536 00:23:31,348 --> 00:23:33,668 Speaker 1: what material They're going to build the Lovey statue outside 537 00:23:33,668 --> 00:23:36,908 Speaker 1: of the new stadium in Arlington Knights in Chicago. But like, 538 00:23:36,988 --> 00:23:39,068 Speaker 1: thank you, Lovey for what you've done. But I do 539 00:23:39,188 --> 00:23:41,788 Speaker 1: think there's a sense of pride with Lovey Smith that 540 00:23:42,348 --> 00:23:44,908 Speaker 1: was shown there and a head coach that was not 541 00:23:44,988 --> 00:23:47,348 Speaker 1: gonna go out that way in that manner. But it's 542 00:23:47,348 --> 00:23:49,708 Speaker 1: gonna be a play or I guess two plays. We're 543 00:23:49,748 --> 00:23:51,988 Speaker 1: gonna keep breaking down now if like we said, they 544 00:23:52,068 --> 00:23:54,828 Speaker 1: end up getting the guy they actually wanted, and it's 545 00:23:54,828 --> 00:23:56,788 Speaker 1: gonna be difficult for us to find out if they 546 00:23:56,948 --> 00:23:59,228 Speaker 1: didn't get the guy they wanted. It's going to be 547 00:23:59,308 --> 00:24:01,748 Speaker 1: very similar to every head coach in the history of 548 00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:04,308 Speaker 1: college football recruiting saying I got every guy we wanted. 549 00:24:04,628 --> 00:24:06,548 Speaker 1: Nobody says we didn't get any of the guys. If 550 00:24:06,548 --> 00:24:07,748 Speaker 1: we didn't get any of the get any of their 551 00:24:07,748 --> 00:24:09,428 Speaker 1: cruits we wanted. They're not going to tell you they 552 00:24:09,428 --> 00:24:12,388 Speaker 1: didn't get their guy, but I do think it totally changed, 553 00:24:12,508 --> 00:24:13,988 Speaker 1: you know, the way that they have to approach this 554 00:24:14,108 --> 00:24:17,348 Speaker 1: draft's defense. I mean they just throw up a hail Mary. 555 00:24:17,548 --> 00:24:20,668 Speaker 1: It's not like this was some great play design. Ronnie 556 00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:22,548 Speaker 1: Thomas jumps in there at twenty five for the Colts, 557 00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:24,828 Speaker 1: he just misses the ball. I mean they went for two, 558 00:24:25,708 --> 00:24:28,068 Speaker 1: but after he scored a touchdown, I guess they could 559 00:24:28,108 --> 00:24:29,908 Speaker 1: have bet. I mean, the Colts are in the same 560 00:24:29,988 --> 00:24:35,108 Speaker 1: The Colts are in the same division. I know to 561 00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:39,308 Speaker 1: beat the cold No, I don't want to don't want 562 00:24:39,308 --> 00:24:42,028 Speaker 1: this team to have number one. Yeah, they're in our division. 563 00:24:43,468 --> 00:24:47,948 Speaker 1: That's how by design. For saying that the Texans should 564 00:24:47,948 --> 00:24:50,428 Speaker 1: have lost that game, I'm not saying the players should 565 00:24:50,428 --> 00:24:52,868 Speaker 1: have dropped passes. Yes, the games should have been lost 566 00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:55,148 Speaker 1: on Monday. You're saying the beginning of that week. Yeah, 567 00:24:55,148 --> 00:24:57,708 Speaker 1: and that's how empires are built. But whatever it's lost now, 568 00:24:57,748 --> 00:24:59,668 Speaker 1: it's it's it's I just think it's an interesting look 569 00:24:59,668 --> 00:25:03,388 Speaker 1: back because that play looms massive in this draft, in 570 00:25:03,428 --> 00:25:05,708 Speaker 1: this whole conversation and also about the quarterbacks, is like, 571 00:25:05,708 --> 00:25:07,068 Speaker 1: we don't know who the number one. There's not like 572 00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:08,988 Speaker 1: a clear we know for sure. We're talking about brace 573 00:25:09,028 --> 00:25:11,148 Speaker 1: Young earlier and it was like Bryce Young or the field. 574 00:25:11,188 --> 00:25:12,628 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, and I don't think that. 575 00:25:12,748 --> 00:25:14,668 Speaker 1: I think there's different times where you're like, yep, this 576 00:25:14,668 --> 00:25:17,348 Speaker 1: guy's the number one. Got like, look, this isn't the 577 00:25:17,348 --> 00:25:20,028 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence tribe, by the way, on any given week. 578 00:25:20,188 --> 00:25:22,228 Speaker 1: This is going to change every week, Like next week 579 00:25:22,228 --> 00:25:23,788 Speaker 1: it's going to be the CJ. Stroud week and like 580 00:25:23,868 --> 00:25:27,068 Speaker 1: he is by far for sure week after the combine 581 00:25:28,148 --> 00:25:29,588 Speaker 1: in there. I mean, this is going to change. But 582 00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:31,228 Speaker 1: also that makes it interesting because you go back to 583 00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:33,948 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence like yeah, it does take. It sort of 584 00:25:33,948 --> 00:25:36,508 Speaker 1: deflates like the intrigue and they like it's Trevor Lawrence 585 00:25:36,548 --> 00:25:39,068 Speaker 1: and like that's done, we got it. But like trust me, 586 00:25:39,068 --> 00:25:41,148 Speaker 1: I was in Jacksonville that whole week. It was a 587 00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:43,268 Speaker 1: lot like selling, like who are they gonna take? Yeah, 588 00:25:43,268 --> 00:25:45,068 Speaker 1: it's rocking it all week, baby, Yeah, what are they 589 00:25:45,108 --> 00:25:47,068 Speaker 1: going to do? Which means we have plenty more to 590 00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:49,108 Speaker 1: talk about still here because we don't know what's going 591 00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:51,868 Speaker 1: to happen. It is going to be a frenzy as 592 00:25:51,908 --> 00:25:53,628 Speaker 1: we like to say here at Good Morning Football, much 593 00:25:53,628 --> 00:26:11,708 Speaker 1: more talk still ahead. We welcome back to Good Morning Football. 594 00:26:11,828 --> 00:26:15,908 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers are reportedly going to be targeting Baker Mayfield 595 00:26:15,948 --> 00:26:18,588 Speaker 1: once free agency begins. That's according to Ian Rabbit Borton, 596 00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:21,108 Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero. So, guys, what are your thoughts on 597 00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:24,628 Speaker 1: the fit Baker to Tampa potentially, Jason I would be 598 00:26:24,628 --> 00:26:26,908 Speaker 1: excited about that. I think for Baker Mayfield goes to 599 00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:29,308 Speaker 1: the Rams later in the season and he gets a 600 00:26:29,388 --> 00:26:31,948 Speaker 1: chance to go out there and compete getting mcveigh's offense 601 00:26:32,148 --> 00:26:35,188 Speaker 1: and bring some possess to them. We saw that Thursday 602 00:26:35,268 --> 00:26:37,148 Speaker 1: night game against the Raiders where he goes on a 603 00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:40,588 Speaker 1: two minute drive scores a touchdown. And for Baker Mayfield 604 00:26:40,588 --> 00:26:42,828 Speaker 1: at this opportunity, at this point in his career, you 605 00:26:42,908 --> 00:26:45,548 Speaker 1: just want an opportunity to go somewhere and compete to 606 00:26:45,668 --> 00:26:48,068 Speaker 1: actually become the starter, and I think the Tampa Bay 607 00:26:48,068 --> 00:26:51,228 Speaker 1: Buccaneers will allow him to do so. Kyle Trash is 608 00:26:51,228 --> 00:26:54,148 Speaker 1: a quarterback kind incumbent starter because he's the only one 609 00:26:54,148 --> 00:26:56,348 Speaker 1: on the roster. So a guy like Baker gets a 610 00:26:56,428 --> 00:26:59,228 Speaker 1: chance to go there and compete to be the starter, 611 00:26:59,548 --> 00:27:02,028 Speaker 1: but he might end up back with the Rams. Possibly 612 00:27:02,268 --> 00:27:04,268 Speaker 1: they'd want him too to be possibly be to start, 613 00:27:04,428 --> 00:27:06,868 Speaker 1: because maybe Stafford's traded as well. As we just saw 614 00:27:06,948 --> 00:27:09,508 Speaker 1: Ramsey on his way out of la oh, I got 615 00:27:09,508 --> 00:27:12,748 Speaker 1: a lot more saucy when yeah, maybe maybe just maybe 616 00:27:12,788 --> 00:27:16,188 Speaker 1: Stafford's trade up. Let them all go. Okay. I like 617 00:27:16,308 --> 00:27:19,948 Speaker 1: this because what I like is competitive atmosphere during training camp. 618 00:27:19,988 --> 00:27:21,868 Speaker 1: I don't go to Tampa anymore since Sarah's there, but 619 00:27:22,028 --> 00:27:23,828 Speaker 1: remember once upon a time I lived there for at 620 00:27:24,348 --> 00:27:27,148 Speaker 1: a period of time during this COVID situation, and watching 621 00:27:27,228 --> 00:27:31,708 Speaker 1: training camp practices, when there's position battles legitimately up for grabs, 622 00:27:31,828 --> 00:27:34,508 Speaker 1: which doesn't always happen. Sometimes you know this, like sometimes 623 00:27:34,508 --> 00:27:36,668 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we're gonna have a best man win. 624 00:27:36,748 --> 00:27:39,548 Speaker 1: We already know who. But if it's a legitimate quarterback 625 00:27:39,588 --> 00:27:42,468 Speaker 1: battle between Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield, and we all 626 00:27:42,508 --> 00:27:45,708 Speaker 1: know the way Baker's wired, that's something I want to watch. Now. 627 00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:48,268 Speaker 1: If this offense that they're setting up, it seems in 628 00:27:48,308 --> 00:27:50,468 Speaker 1: the manner of which, you know, kind of what Sean 629 00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:52,308 Speaker 1: Payton said about Russell Wilson. We're only gonna put our 630 00:27:52,388 --> 00:27:53,908 Speaker 1: quarterback up on the high dive for a handful of 631 00:27:53,908 --> 00:27:55,988 Speaker 1: plays to go do things like that that Fitz Baker 632 00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:57,548 Speaker 1: in a sense, with some of these guys that are 633 00:27:57,588 --> 00:27:59,668 Speaker 1: around there, I want to see them compete because I 634 00:27:59,708 --> 00:28:01,948 Speaker 1: like watching Baker compete because of the way he's wired. 635 00:28:02,308 --> 00:28:04,708 Speaker 1: I listen, I'm thrilled about this. I talk about all 636 00:28:04,748 --> 00:28:06,668 Speaker 1: the time. I'm one of the last few true Baker 637 00:28:06,668 --> 00:28:08,948 Speaker 1: Mayfield fans. I love the guy. I think. I think 638 00:28:08,948 --> 00:28:10,748 Speaker 1: it's a more exciting league when he's relevant. I like 639 00:28:10,828 --> 00:28:13,148 Speaker 1: the way he handles himself. So I'm thrilled about this 640 00:28:13,308 --> 00:28:15,068 Speaker 1: for him, the chance to start a game for his 641 00:28:15,268 --> 00:28:18,788 Speaker 1: fourth team. And I'll say this, if they enter camp 642 00:28:18,828 --> 00:28:21,988 Speaker 1: with any level of competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask, 643 00:28:22,068 --> 00:28:24,748 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is winning it. I think he's more talented. 644 00:28:24,868 --> 00:28:27,828 Speaker 1: I also just think like he'll win camp. He has 645 00:28:27,868 --> 00:28:29,908 Speaker 1: the vibe, he has the it. He's still the number 646 00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:31,988 Speaker 1: one overall pick. People know who he is, He's the heisman. 647 00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:33,708 Speaker 1: I'm sure Kyle Trask is a nice guy and a 648 00:28:33,788 --> 00:28:36,228 Speaker 1: talented dude. He'll win it. And then you're like, all right, 649 00:28:36,268 --> 00:28:39,028 Speaker 1: So Baker Mayfield starts Week one for the Bucks, a 650 00:28:39,068 --> 00:28:41,628 Speaker 1: Bucks team that still has the dogs there. They still 651 00:28:41,668 --> 00:28:43,588 Speaker 1: have the receivers, they still have a lot of their 652 00:28:43,588 --> 00:28:46,508 Speaker 1: good players, and they're going against whatever the Falcons are, 653 00:28:46,748 --> 00:28:48,948 Speaker 1: the Panthers with the number one overall pick with not 654 00:28:48,948 --> 00:28:50,428 Speaker 1: a lot of help, and then probably a pretty good 655 00:28:50,468 --> 00:28:53,268 Speaker 1: Saints team. I'm already having Baker Mayfield in the playoffs 656 00:28:53,308 --> 00:28:56,988 Speaker 1: next year for the Buck. That's how premature I am, 657 00:28:57,068 --> 00:28:59,308 Speaker 1: because it's March, and who the hell cares? I love Baker. 658 00:28:59,308 --> 00:29:00,468 Speaker 1: I hope he lands there. I think it's a good 659 00:29:00,468 --> 00:29:02,188 Speaker 1: spot for him. It would be amazing for me just 660 00:29:02,268 --> 00:29:04,508 Speaker 1: from a SoundBite perspective, because you know, a bay Or 661 00:29:04,708 --> 00:29:09,428 Speaker 1: is incredibly interesting. Ye'll tell, if you're Kyle Trask and 662 00:29:09,428 --> 00:29:12,508 Speaker 1: you've had you get drafted second round coming out of Florida, 663 00:29:12,548 --> 00:29:14,548 Speaker 1: you get to stay in the vicinity. They're Florida Gator 664 00:29:14,588 --> 00:29:16,508 Speaker 1: fans there, and then Tom Brady comes and now if 665 00:29:16,548 --> 00:29:18,988 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, you have to be like, oh, where's my shot? 666 00:29:18,988 --> 00:29:20,388 Speaker 1: I mean, this is where he's going to have to compete, 667 00:29:20,428 --> 00:29:21,908 Speaker 1: and they've set all along you have to compete. I 668 00:29:21,908 --> 00:29:23,748 Speaker 1: think it could be a really interesting situation for the 669 00:29:23,788 --> 00:29:26,268 Speaker 1: Bucks because being down there, you guys would not believe 670 00:29:26,308 --> 00:29:29,348 Speaker 1: how many Kyle Trask questions there are everything. I think 671 00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:31,348 Speaker 1: it's just because he played at Florida, Like what's kind 672 00:29:31,388 --> 00:29:33,228 Speaker 1: of like it was just so there's so many questions, 673 00:29:33,268 --> 00:29:35,108 Speaker 1: not like where you're going to unseat Brady, but like 674 00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:38,388 Speaker 1: you get inundated with this Kyle Trask sort of intrigue 675 00:29:38,428 --> 00:29:41,308 Speaker 1: every preseason. But now if you bring Baker down there, 676 00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:43,108 Speaker 1: the Bucks are in this weird predicament of like you 677 00:29:43,188 --> 00:29:45,308 Speaker 1: used a second rounder on this guy. I'm with you, 678 00:29:45,388 --> 00:29:47,548 Speaker 1: I don't think he can unseat Baker. Or if I'm Baker, 679 00:29:47,588 --> 00:29:49,308 Speaker 1: there's no way I think this guy can unseat me 680 00:29:49,348 --> 00:29:51,588 Speaker 1: in the sense of like let's look at their resumes. 681 00:29:51,828 --> 00:29:55,028 Speaker 1: Kyle Trask has to his credit, nine NFL attempts, he's 682 00:29:55,068 --> 00:29:58,308 Speaker 1: got three NFL completions. He's played in one NFL game 683 00:29:58,748 --> 00:30:00,508 Speaker 1: at the end, So I mean he doesn't find Bla 684 00:30:00,588 --> 00:30:04,708 Speaker 1: Gabbert as he was behind. Yeah, you know what's really 685 00:30:04,708 --> 00:30:06,668 Speaker 1: funny about the box and James, you touched on it, 686 00:30:06,748 --> 00:30:09,668 Speaker 1: like backup, you know, like quarterback battles are really intriguing 687 00:30:09,668 --> 00:30:11,788 Speaker 1: in training camp and in Tampa. We have never had 688 00:30:11,868 --> 00:30:13,668 Speaker 1: well not never in the last couple of years, we 689 00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,828 Speaker 1: haven't had anything intriguing there. The only battle when they 690 00:30:16,908 --> 00:30:18,588 Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl and they brought everyone back. The 691 00:30:18,628 --> 00:30:20,948 Speaker 1: only battle that they had in training camp was for 692 00:30:21,108 --> 00:30:24,948 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks. Lane Gabbert as I'm like, that's what we're 693 00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:27,828 Speaker 1: talking about, a backup quarterback battle. But it could get 694 00:30:27,868 --> 00:30:30,308 Speaker 1: real here. The Packers are waiting, the Jets are waiting, 695 00:30:30,308 --> 00:30:33,188 Speaker 1: in the NFL is waiting. Most importantly, we are waiting 696 00:30:33,388 --> 00:30:35,668 Speaker 1: for the Aaron Rodgers news, and I'm sure that's tops 697 00:30:35,748 --> 00:30:37,508 Speaker 1: his list of why he wants to get that out there. 698 00:30:38,148 --> 00:30:40,828 Speaker 1: We hope that we'll hear sometimes soon about what's going on, 699 00:30:40,908 --> 00:30:44,028 Speaker 1: because it alters the face of a couple of franchises 700 00:30:44,308 --> 00:30:46,548 Speaker 1: for sure, And then you look at some other franchises 701 00:30:46,588 --> 00:30:48,148 Speaker 1: that have a lot of decisions to make, and that's 702 00:30:48,148 --> 00:30:50,748 Speaker 1: really pretty much everyone. James, We'll start with you. The 703 00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:53,988 Speaker 1: Eagles have a lot of guys that potentially should be 704 00:30:54,028 --> 00:30:56,508 Speaker 1: making some big money here. What are they looking at? Well, 705 00:30:56,628 --> 00:30:59,628 Speaker 1: I think there's one domino that fell early that I 706 00:30:59,668 --> 00:31:01,868 Speaker 1: think is a little bit telling to maybe how things 707 00:31:01,868 --> 00:31:03,908 Speaker 1: could fall for the Eagles, and that's Brandon Graham and 708 00:31:03,988 --> 00:31:06,108 Speaker 1: him side in that one year, six million dollar deal 709 00:31:06,548 --> 00:31:09,268 Speaker 1: to look at their edge rushing position. We were looking 710 00:31:09,308 --> 00:31:11,268 Speaker 1: up and down the defensive line something the Eagles and 711 00:31:11,268 --> 00:31:13,588 Speaker 1: how he rose and do every single draft, every single 712 00:31:13,588 --> 00:31:15,428 Speaker 1: free age. So he tried to load up in the trenches. Well, 713 00:31:15,428 --> 00:31:18,908 Speaker 1: now you have Josh Schweat and you have Son Reddick 714 00:31:18,908 --> 00:31:21,708 Speaker 1: and Derek Barnett coming off the ACL and Brandon Graham. 715 00:31:21,748 --> 00:31:24,228 Speaker 1: Now maybe you focus on the interior part of your 716 00:31:24,268 --> 00:31:26,788 Speaker 1: defensive line with two of those names on there in 717 00:31:26,868 --> 00:31:29,588 Speaker 1: Hargrave in Fletcher Cox. Maybe Javon Hargrave is too much 718 00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,948 Speaker 1: money you can Maybe everybody thought Fletcher Cox was out 719 00:31:31,948 --> 00:31:34,108 Speaker 1: the door. He could possibly come back. I know they're 720 00:31:34,108 --> 00:31:36,748 Speaker 1: working to try to get CJ. Gardner Johnson back. Remember 721 00:31:36,788 --> 00:31:38,188 Speaker 1: they trade for him. You would think that would be 722 00:31:38,188 --> 00:31:39,708 Speaker 1: a guy that they like to have come back. I 723 00:31:39,708 --> 00:31:41,188 Speaker 1: know that's one they're working. A lot of those guys 724 00:31:41,188 --> 00:31:42,428 Speaker 1: are going to be out the door. They know that, 725 00:31:42,468 --> 00:31:44,668 Speaker 1: they're expecting that. But I think there's gonna be maybe 726 00:31:44,668 --> 00:31:46,908 Speaker 1: one or two coming back that might surprise. You. Give 727 00:31:46,988 --> 00:31:49,148 Speaker 1: us the name of someone we should be talking about, 728 00:31:49,148 --> 00:31:50,628 Speaker 1: but we're not talking about because I know you're hot 729 00:31:50,628 --> 00:31:53,468 Speaker 1: on somebody. I like it, Draymond Jones. Not because he's 730 00:31:53,508 --> 00:31:55,828 Speaker 1: a Buckeye, but yes, it's because he's a Buckeye. No, 731 00:31:55,988 --> 00:31:57,948 Speaker 1: Draymond Jones is probably one of the guys that everybody 732 00:31:57,948 --> 00:31:59,828 Speaker 1: around the country should be knowing about. One of the 733 00:31:59,828 --> 00:32:02,548 Speaker 1: better young defensive tackles and football. I've talked to plenty 734 00:32:02,548 --> 00:32:04,708 Speaker 1: of teams over the last couple of days. Are like, 735 00:32:04,788 --> 00:32:06,868 Speaker 1: I'm in, We're in on Draymont Jones. We hope the 736 00:32:06,868 --> 00:32:08,948 Speaker 1: price doesn't get too high. That's a guy that you 737 00:32:08,988 --> 00:32:10,348 Speaker 1: may not even know about. He might be in the 738 00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:13,028 Speaker 1: range of like eighteen million dollars. I think Denver knows 739 00:32:13,068 --> 00:32:15,148 Speaker 1: he's gotten expensive. I think he's gonna be a guy 740 00:32:15,188 --> 00:32:17,468 Speaker 1: that kind of seems like Cleveland. Possibly some other team's 741 00:32:17,508 --> 00:32:19,588 Speaker 1: looking for into your help. Somebody next to Miles Garrett 742 00:32:19,588 --> 00:32:21,788 Speaker 1: would be a nice addition for them. Up front, he's 743 00:32:21,788 --> 00:32:24,028 Speaker 1: gonna get paid. He's gonna get paid. We're over here pacing. 744 00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:26,668 Speaker 1: What do you got. Well, somebody like Aaron Rodgers could 745 00:32:26,748 --> 00:32:30,868 Speaker 1: really rightfully announce I am leaving the Green Bay Packers. 746 00:32:30,868 --> 00:32:32,468 Speaker 1: I'm going to New York Jets. I think I've actually 747 00:32:32,628 --> 00:32:34,148 Speaker 1: gone all the way the other way. I want him 748 00:32:34,188 --> 00:32:36,428 Speaker 1: to delay it now, just screw it. Just lean into 749 00:32:36,468 --> 00:32:39,308 Speaker 1: the full circle this morning. If you're not doing it, Yeah, 750 00:32:39,428 --> 00:32:42,068 Speaker 1: just like see it through go to mile marker twenty 751 00:32:42,148 --> 00:32:45,428 Speaker 1: six Wednesday, Monday Thursday for I don't even care Jason 752 00:32:45,508 --> 00:32:47,428 Speaker 1: them into it now. I think this is the what 753 00:32:47,588 --> 00:32:50,508 Speaker 1: is it the Stockholm syndrome? Like I fall in love 754 00:32:50,548 --> 00:32:52,708 Speaker 1: with my captives. I just I love this. I don't 755 00:32:52,708 --> 00:32:54,308 Speaker 1: want it to end.
