00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Sam Donald that has resulted in a new spot as

00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,239

Speaker 1: things going new today. We start with the quarterback Sam

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Darnold after that spectacular season in Minnesota. Yes, the ending

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: wasn't quite what the Vikings were Darnold desired, but finalizing

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: a three year deal that could be worth up to

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: one hundred zero point five million dollars with the Seattle

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,320

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: two year deal could be worth up to forty million

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: dollars with the Jets, with thirty million of that guaranteed.

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: So Field's making his way to Florin Park once the

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: new league year officially gets going this week, and a

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: player staying Chris Godwin essentially one one of those who

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: will go down one of the best Bucks ever staying

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. A three year deal could be worth

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,560

Speaker 1: four million of that guaranteed. And Carlton Davis, the former

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay buccaneer, said coming into this edition of free

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: agency that there weren't gonna be any discounts. He was

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: going out go out and obtain that value, and he

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: gets that value from the team with the most amount

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: of caps base. That would be the New England Patriots,

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: a three year deal worth up to sixty million dollars

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,639

Speaker 1: up to one hundred and four million dollars with the

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Patriots would average around twenty six million dollars that would

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: put him top three among interior defensive lineman. A list

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: of some of the other notable free agent contracts that

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: can become official Wednesday At for Josh Sweat, also celebrating

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,160

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: those members of that illustrious celebratory Minnesota Vikings secondary that

74
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: they could not keep goes to the Colts for four

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: years and sixty million dollars. A lot of players, a

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of change, Tom, Why don't you start us off

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: with some of those most recent things that've taken place today?

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: Well, Patrick, let's start out with Justin Fields heading to

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: the New York Jets.

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: Ian.

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: This is something that we had talked a lot about

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: in recent days. The Steelers had an offer out for

83
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: a week or so to Justin Fields. The sides had

84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 3: been in negotiations, but it seemed in the last forty

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: eight hour hours or so that this was leaning toward

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: Justin Fields ending up in New York. Why did this

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: ultimately get done for Fields to find another new home

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: with the Jets.

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Well, first of.

90
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 5: All, I would start with this, Justin Fields is going

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 5: to get a really nice contract from the.

92
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets.

93
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: Two years, forty million dollars, thirty million dollars guaranteed, really

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 5: nice deal to be the starter for the Jets. And

95
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 5: there's no question it's not like last year. This is

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 5: he is now the guy.

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: He is QB one.

98
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: And if you remember last year, it was not always

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: like that with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

100
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: It was Russell.

101
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 5: Wilson earning or being given pole position as the starting

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: core back for the Steelers, getting injured, Fields taking over,

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 5: leading the team to a four and two start, and

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: getting pulled anyway, And you really do wonder even though

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 5: the Steelers did some really nice things in freegency, even

106
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 5: though they acquired DK Metcalf and appear to be loading

107
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 5: up again, finally getting a big play receiver. You just

108
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: wonder how much that weight on Justin Field and how

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: much he wanted a fresh start. The Jets are building,

110
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: they recruited him, and eventually they are going to sign him.

111
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 5: Justin Fields the new quarterback for the New York Jets,

112
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 5: and I know in that building they are pumped about it.

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's my phone.

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: Well, you reference to what happened at the Steelers last

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 6: year that they got off to a good start with

116
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 6: Justin Fields and then replaced him anyway with Russell Wilson.

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 6: Don't forget when that happened. There were people in the

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: building in Pittsburgh who weren't quite sure that this was

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 6: the right move to make, that they should have stuck

120
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 6: with Justin Fields because they felt he still had a

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 6: high steiling and he was ascending and they hadn't really

122
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 6: seen everything that he can do. Well, that is what

123
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 6: the Jets are counting, that the ceiling is still quite

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 6: high for him and he is still an ascending learning player,

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 6: and that they're going.

126
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: To be able to get that out of him.

127
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 6: Certainly, it will help that he is being reunited with

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 6: his college teammate at Ohio State. Garrett Wilson is the

129
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 6: Jets exceptional wide receiver. But look, this is a clean

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: slate for the New York Jets. Right they got rid

131
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 6: of Aaron Rodgers and Devonte Adams. They are going younger

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: and they are going to build now with Justin Fields

133
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 6: as the starting quarterback.

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 7: And look, you see two things happen in free agency

135
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 7: when it comes to where guys go where they wind up.

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: One of them is a.

137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 7: Coach leaves and hey, this was my guy in the

138
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 7: old place. We got to bring him in here. Another

139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 7: thing you'll see is a guy that did damage against

140
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 7: another team will then show up there.

141
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: Well.

142
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 7: The new head coach of the New York Jets, Aaron Glenn,

143
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 7: knows what Justin Fields can do because he gained planned

144
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 7: against him when he was the defensive coordinator of the

145
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 7: Detroit Lions and Fields was with the Chicago Bears. So

146
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 7: that's probably the ultimate endorsement, the ultimate stamp of approval

147
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 7: from a guy who says this is I know what

148
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 7: he can do. I know the headaches that he can

149
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 7: create for defenses. And if you get him right, and

150
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 7: if you put him in the right system and you

151
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 7: coach him up right, there's untapped potential here that is

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 7: absolutely what Aaron Glenn is looking at in this situation,

153
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 7: because I know that there are other defensive coordinators. Even

154
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 7: when he was just you know, not necessarily within the system,

155
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 7: but doing what he does was creating headaches for defenses.

156
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn now hoping he could do that for other defenses.

157
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: So a new jersey for Justin Fields he is going

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: to be with the Jets. Sam Darnold somewhere might have

159
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: a Jets jersey frame that was like four jerseys to

160
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: go for him because he is now the quarterback for

161
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks. A three year, one hundred point five

162
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: million dollar deal for Donald very similar ian to the

163
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: money that the Seahawks had on the table for Geno Smith.

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 3: They were willing to address his contract, but when Gino

165
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: balked at what the Seahawks for will to do, they

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: very quickly pivoted, got a third round pick from the Raiders,

167
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: and now land the top quarterback here in free agency.

168
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it might be almost exactly what the

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: Seahawks were looking to pay Gino Smith. He wanted more,

170
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: wanted into the forties or maybe even forty five. Ship

171
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 5: him to the Raiders, who obviously Raiders needed a quarterback

172
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 5: and the Seahawks needed a quarterback as well, And as

173
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 5: soon as this trade happened, it became very clear this

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 5: was the spot for Sam Donald. And sometimes this is

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: what free agency is about. You bide your time, you wait,

176
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: you create the opportunity for yourself, but your play on

177
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 5: the field, and then boom, there is a spot.

178
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: And this one made a ton of sense.

179
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 5: And look, Sam Donald put his best football on the

180
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: field last year for the Minnesota Vikings. He earned the right,

181
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 5: as the Vikings have said, to be a free agent,

182
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: earned the right to make more than thirty million dollars

183
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: per year. And now we'll have to go out and

184
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: replicate that in the Seahawks offense. That really is essentially resetting.

185
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 5: Starting quarterback is gone, receiver one is gone, and if

186
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: anyone can rebuild like this general manager John Schneider and

187
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, it is a risk. They have taken a chance,

188
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 5: but they have come back younger and cheaper, and we'll

189
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: see what the results end up being. But this is

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 5: obviously a really strong core that can withstand some change.

191
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 5: Most importantly, Sam Donald now QB one for the Seattle Seahawks,

192
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 5: and maybe the biggest signing of the day.

193
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: They're also going.

194
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 6: To have to do some work on their offensive line

195
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: in Seattle to shore that up to protect Sam Donald's

196
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 6: But when he was with the Minnesota Vikings, all the

197
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 6: speculation about what he returned to the Minnesota Vikings for

198
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 6: another season. They have JJ McCarthy there, their former first

199
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 6: round draft pick. Of course, couldn't play last year after

200
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 6: the injury. He didn't want to do another prove it year.

201
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 6: There was no reason for that. He wanted He felt

202
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 6: he had started and he had proven himself a worthy

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 6: starter in the NFL, and this was the starting opportunity

204
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 6: that was presented. It is a reset for the Seattle Seahawks,

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 6: but that's fine. Be with Clint Kubiak, who was the

206
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 6: passing game coordinator in San Francisco. When Sam Donald spent

207
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: a season in San Francisco. That was the year that

208
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 6: sort of started the career renaissance for Donald after he

209
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 6: had languished with the Jets and the Carolina Panthers. So

210
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 6: he is with somebody who is already familiar with his game.

211
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 6: It should be a smooth transition for Sam Donald as

212
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 6: his career renaissance continues now in Seattle.

213
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, backing up a bit.

214
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 7: To what Ian said, the number that the Seahawks gave

215
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: Sam Donald here similar to what they were offering Gino Smith.

216
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 7: I've seen some questions out there today, why you go

217
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 7: from Geno Smith the Sam Donald?

218
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: Aren't they kind of the same. Well, let's say that

219
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: they are. Let's say the production is even.

220
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 7: Gino Smith wanted to be paid ten million dollars more

221
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 7: per year, so you saved that money, plus you got

222
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 7: a third round pick in return, and in the Seahawks eyes,

223
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 7: Sam Donald might even be better, so you may have

224
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 7: upgraded on that.

225
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: So that's why they do that.

226
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 7: And as for Donald, we're my numbers, fifty five million guarantees.

227
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: The first year number I'm looking for it's here somewhere.

228
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 7: I think it was thirty seven and a half million.

229
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 7: Let's go with that. Thirty seven and a half million

230
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 7: dollars in the first year for Sam Donald is much

231
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 7: higher than the Vikings would have gone. And the Vikings

232
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 7: were only going to go on a one year deal

233
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 7: for Sam Donald because they've got JJ McCarthy. They weren't

234
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 7: going to guarantee money into the second year. So he

235
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 7: got the guaranteed money into the second year. Here, So

236
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 7: good job by Sam Donald here a much better deal

237
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 7: than he would have gotten in Minnesota and definitely a

238
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 7: clearer path.

239
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: Mike, did were you finger painting? By the way, on

240
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: the back of that paper, I noticed there was a

241
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: very large splotch of something just curious, did you my daughter?

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: It's a little old dry.

243
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 7: My daughter dropped it off, so it says free agency frenzy.

244
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 7: She tried to draw the logo NFL logo right here,

245
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 7: and that is a dollar bill, which is not going

246
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 7: to buy you much in this market.

247
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: But that's going to go in this frame as soon

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: as I got.

249
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 7: My younger daughters up there for a little bit. That's

250
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 7: the dollar bill. Carmen's gonna go up in a second.

251
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: But you're scribbling on the back of it, Just to

252
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: be clear that was your first instinct. I'm gonna take

253
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: this wonderful piece of art. I'm gonna take a few

254
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: notes right there. Yeah, that's the flotch I'm talking about.

255
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: These are my You got more drawing? Come on, who's

256
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: got loose leaf paper? Its twenty twenty five. Anyway, if

257
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: you got a list right of the quarterbacks written down there, Mike,

258
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: it's probably not as flashy as the one that we've

259
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: got at a graphic here, Greg Rosenthal's best available quarterbacks left,

260
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston is there, Russell Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones.

261
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: Of course, Aaron Rodgers going to be released by the Jets.

262
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: That will not take place until after four pm on

263
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: Wednesday because of cap considerations. However, Judy, Aaron Rodgers now

264
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: figures very centrally in some of these remaining chairs to

265
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: be filled on the proverbial quarterback carousel.

266
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 6: As somebody pointed out hours ago, like twenty hours ago,

267
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 6: I love that Aaron Rodgers is in the tiniest possible

268
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 6: print as the you know under the best available free

269
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 6: agent quarterbacks was that you Garafalow. Well done anyway, that

270
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 6: is the name that's the next big name to go

271
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: that you're waiting for the next big domino now that

272
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: we've had Justin Fields and Sam Donold's. Look, there's two

273
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 6: starting jobs right now available, the New York Giants and

274
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh Steelers. It looks like, I mean, the Pittsburgh

275
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 6: Steelers don't have a quarterback on the roster at all.

276
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 6: So the question is are those teams fully invested in

277
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 6: the idea of Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback and

278
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 6: which of them does he prefer now? Certainly, if he

279
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 6: is looking to be with a contending team, the Pittsburgh

280
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 6: Steelers are much closer to that right now than the

281
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 6: New York Giants are, especially given the new wide receivers

282
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: they currently have. We will see which way the Pittsburgh

283
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 6: Steelers pivot. As we pointed out earlier, they were focused

284
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: mostly on Justin Fields until a day or so ago

285
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 6: when it was clear that Justin Fields wanted to become

286
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 6: a free agent. So which way do they pivot now?

287
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: Do they turn to Aaron Rodgers? And what does Aaron

288
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 6: Rodgers want? And if it's not either of those two positions,

289
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 6: what would it be.

290
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 7: The approach from the Giants here has been to give

291
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 7: Aaron Rode all the time that he wants to make

292
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 7: a decision. I mean not all the time. I mean

293
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 7: sometime before Week one, he's gonna have to make a decision.

294
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: But they're not rushing him. They are showing him the respect,

295
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: which I think is part of the pitch here to

296
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers. It's you know, look, we appreciate what you've done.

297
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 7: We feel like you've got good football left. We're not

298
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 7: gonna hold your feet to the fire. We're not going

299
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 7: to bring in other quarterbacks. We're not gonna leak stuff

300
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 7: to scare like none of that. They are not rushing

301
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 7: him at all, which tells you their belief right now

302
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 7: as to him being the best option for them at

303
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 7: this point. I mean, it's expected to be released by

304
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 7: the Jets on Wednesday, but he could have done a

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 7: deal at this part with any team because the Jets

306
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 7: have already announced it. So we're continuing to watch this one.

307
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 7: There's been communication throughout the day between the Giants and

308
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 7: Rodgers camp and other teams like this is still an ongoing,

309
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: fluid process.

310
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll know by the end of the day.

311
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: Judy, I'll take this one. Yeah, maybe we will know

312
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: by the end of day. Can I talk about Kenny

313
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 5: Pickets because we actually got a really interesting quarterback question

314
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 5: answered a couple of minutes before this show started. Kenny

315
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: Pickett was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Cleveland Browns,

316
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: and one of the biggest questions has been what are

317
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: the Browns going to do with quarterback? Are they going

318
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: to draft a quarterback at two or are they going

319
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 5: to trade for someone? And there was a discussion was

320
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: it going to be they're going to sign one of

321
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: the free agents, They're going to trade for Kirk Cousins.

322
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: If the Falcons would make that happen, what are they

323
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 5: going to do? They end up landing Kenny Pickett, giving

324
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: him the opportunity to be a starter, and whatever the

325
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 5: Browns do, whether they draft let's say Cam Word or

326
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 5: Shador Sanders or someone else at two, or whether or

327
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: not they just roll with a quarterback later, Kenny Pickett

328
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: is going to have the opportunity to start. And he

329
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: has been a multi year started for the Steelers. He

330
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 5: has accomplished, he has been to the playoffs, he has

331
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: had ups and downs, and he has had a year

332
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: to reset. This is an unbelievable opportunity for Kenny Pickett

333
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: and for the Cleveland Browns answer one of the biggest

334
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: questions we'll have we'll have in free agency.

335
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: Patrick I would fairly say that if you're watching that

336
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: segment there, you see this is not the greatest We've

337
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: ever been camera attentive in the past year. So there's

338
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: a lot more news. That's why we've got a two

339
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: hour show tonight, and I'd be remissief if I did

340
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: not tell you look great without a tie. And welcome

341
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: inside with the Insiders.

342
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: We're here all night, glad to be here. We did

343
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: get the great questions answered, There's still some more. As

344
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: Judy said so eloquently, what does Aaron Rodgers want? I

345
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: think that's something we can move forward and continue to

346
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: try to ask ourselves. And we do know that Ian's

347
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: ringer is still on at six oh five Eastern, still on,

348
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: which is great. He's on twenty twenty five. Never know,

349
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: that's commitment, commitment to the bit from NFL Network insider

350
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Ian Rapport. More to come here on the Insiders, we've

351
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: seen the Cowboys restructure some deals, get some space. What

352
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: do they do with that space? Jane Slater joins us

353
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: and Yes, all week we highlight the work that went

354
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: into Greg Rosenthal constructing his top free agents. Who's best

355
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: less left on the list? Who better to ask than

356
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal himself? Who will join me at this desk

357
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: when we return on the Insiders on NFL Network. Back

358
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: here on the Insiders on NFL Network, the Dallas Cowboys

359
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: get their first big deal done at the Brian Schottenheimer era. Also,

360
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Digazouoa gets a four year deal could be worth up

361
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: to eighty million dollars. And now we project out what

362
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: does that mean for the rest of the roster. Let's

363
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: bring in NFL Networks Jane Slater to discuss the Dallas

364
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys here in twenty twenty five. And Jane, if we're

365
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: going to extrapolate, now we've got the OSA deal done,

366
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: could that mean good news for maybe timeliness? Maybe soon

367
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: we found out some news with Michael Parsons. What can

368
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: you tell us?

369
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 8: You would certainly think that, Patrick Good afternoon. Last week

370
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 8: Cowboys made some of those rare moves of clearing quite

371
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 8: a bit of cap space ahead of free agency. They're

372
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 8: at about fifty four million dollars in cap space. Remember

373
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 8: they also restructured Ceedee Lamb and they restructured Dak Prescott.

374
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 8: So the natural inclination is, okay, Micah Parsons is getting

375
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 8: his contract, not so fast. It's my understanding there weren't

376
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 8: any meaningful talks over the weekend. In fact, Micah Parsons

377
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 8: is right now in Dubai. His Instagram quite fun right now,

378
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 8: as he was posting with lions over the weekend, But

379
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 8: I don't get the sense that this is going to

380
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 8: end up being problematic. What I will say is Micah

381
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 8: and Jerry will likely talk to each other at some point,

382
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 8: although I know agents don't love that and get a

383
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 8: deal done. They've got a great relationship, so I don't

384
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 8: think there's necessarily any concern that that doesn't get done here.

385
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 8: But I do think the question next is, Okay, if

386
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 8: they address that, what are they addressing now. They just

387
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 8: lost cornerback Jordan Lewis, which I thought was tough, but

388
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 8: three years, thirty million dollars to Jacksonville, they likely.

389
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 9: Weren't going to pay that here. He was just such

390
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 9: a big locker room guy.

391
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 8: Charvarius Ward was another guy that was floated around as

392
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 8: someone who might come back here to refresh your memory.

393
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 8: The Cowboys traded him away his rookie season, and then

394
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 8: he went on to do big things in Kansas City

395
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: and of course in San Francisco. The Indianapolis Colts signed

396
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 8: him today, so Lou gets another piece on his defense.

397
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 8: But the Cowboys will likely have to address a couple

398
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 8: of positions cornerback, linebacker. I anticipate they're going to still

399
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 8: try to make some moves for the defensive line, but

400
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 8: running back is the one thing that I'm going to

401
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 8: be keeping an eye on. Obviously, they tried committee last year.

402
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 8: Rico o'dowdell, once they gave him the carries, really came

403
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 8: on strong. But he is a free agent. His agent

404
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 8: is also Jordan Lewis's David Cantor.

405
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 9: So let's see.

406
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 8: If they couldn't get a Dill Dub for Jordan Lewis,

407
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 8: will they get done with Rico Dowdell, Which is going

408
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 8: to have to wait and see. Last year, I remember

409
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 8: the first day of free agency was disappointing to Cowboy fans,

410
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 8: particularly this year when you see some of the moves

411
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: that Washington is making. But I do remember last year

412
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 8: the Cowboys got at least into the feeding frenzy a

413
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 8: little bit later in the week.

414
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's of course all that pressure. There was all

415
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: the conversation about what all in means a new season

416
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: and a new era in Dallas. Jane Slater with the

417
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: latest on the Dallas Cowboys under new head coach Brian Schottenhammer.

418
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Let's get some of this speaking of new new things

419
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: coming in Today, we discussed how Carlton Davis on his

420
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: way to New England. Will the Lions get another cornerback?

421
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: This coming courtesy of NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport. Now

422
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: former Jet will soon to be former Jet as of Wednesday.

423
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: DJ Reid and then the former forty nine ers running

424
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: back Elijah Mitchell had a lot of success in the

425
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Bay Area. We'll be signing with the Kansas City Chiefs,

426
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: a source in forums NFL Network insider Tom Pellisero, speaking

427
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: of Casey, let's look at some of these off season

428
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: moves for the Super Bowl running it up. Kansas City Chiefs.

429
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: They get the franchise tag on Trey Smith, trade Joe

430
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Toney to the Bears that will officially become official on Wednesday.

431
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: They reseund Hollywood and Nick Bolton and agree on a

432
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: two year, thirty million dollar contract with Jalen Moore, the

433
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: former forty niner. As we bring in Justinia to discuss

434
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning AFC champion several times

435
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: in a row. They got a little bit of a

436
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: humbling Jeff in the Super Bowl. The offense, of course,

437
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: a plays of eight to make some addressing, to address

438
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: some changes. How do you view what they've done thus far.

439
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 10: What do you start with the offense and what they

440
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 10: did make sense as far as the offensive line. Putting

441
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 10: the franchise tag on Tray Smith was a surprise for

442
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 10: some people, but there was more cap money to go around,

443
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 10: and they obviously made a choice between Tray Smith and

444
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 10: Joe Toney, who was traded to Chicago. So they feel

445
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 10: good about what they have on the right side, but

446
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 10: the left side is where the question is at. They

447
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 10: went out and signed left tackle Jalen Moore from the

448
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 10: forty nine Ers. He's been a backup for the last

449
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 10: four years, so you don't know what he brings to

450
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 10: the table. Getting rid of Tuny means you get rid

451
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 10: of your insurance policy at left tackle. He played the

452
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 10: end of the season there and did a pretty good

453
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 10: job until the Super Bowl, and then left guard is

454
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 10: open now and there's talk about king Le Sua Mataia,

455
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 10: their second round pick from last year who flamed out

456
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 10: at left tackle playing there. So there's a lot of

457
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 10: moving parts there for Patrick Mahomes. But the hope here

458
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 10: for the Chiefs is that they can find a way

459
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 10: protecting better than the Eagles. Eagles got after him in

460
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 10: that football.

461
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eagles were a problem for a lot of teas

462
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: one just the Chiefs towards that end je just as

463
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: we look over and the story of Casey has been

464
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: keeping things together, of course, waiting to find out what's

465
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: going to happen with Justin Reid. But they do get

466
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: a big piece of one of the notable defensive Super

467
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Bowl plays in a while. Nick Bolton comes back. What

468
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: does he mean for Spags's unit.

469
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 10: Well, I mean they have their quarterback back on that

470
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 10: side of the football. And as much as Nick Bolton

471
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 10: is not known for being great in pass coverage, he

472
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 10: is a great run defender and he is a very

473
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 10: smart linebacker. And the defense that's Despagnolo runs is very complex,

474
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 10: and this is the guy they rely on to make

475
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 10: the checks to get guys in the right positions. They're

476
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 10: probably going to lose Justin Reid. They're starting safety and

477
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 10: free agencies. To lose two guys who are really integral

478
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 10: getting guys lined up correctly and making things happen back there.

479
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 10: It had been tough for this team, so keeping Nick

480
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 10: Bolton was a surprise for some, but it makes a

481
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 10: lot of sense for what they want to do with

482
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 10: this defense.

483
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: All right, Still more to come on how Kansas City

484
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: approaches bouncing back from that Super Bowl lost. Jeff to

485

00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Patrick, Welcome back with the insiders here.

503
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some of the teams that have made

504
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: a big splash here through the first hours of the

505
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: negotiating windows. Starting out Ian with a team you just

506
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: saw right there, maybe a big trade. What exactly is.

507
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: Going on right now in Washington?

508
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: What is going on is the Washington Commanders are in

509
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 5: the window where they have a really good, cheap quarterback

510
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: and they can spend a bunch of money and build

511
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: around them.

512
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: We see this for a couple of teams around the

513
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: league every year.

514
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: Now it is the Commanders and they were looking to

515
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: spend biga tackle. We're in the market for all of

516
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 5: the top left tackles from Ronnie Stanley and Dan Moore

517
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: and Jalen Moore, all of the Moors and end up

518
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 5: trading for one of the best left tackles of the

519
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: last decade.

520
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: This was a blockbuster.

521
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 5: It is Laramie tunsall normally of the Houston Texans going

522
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a future second

523
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: round pick and more in a huge package. A huge

524
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 5: hal for the Houston Texans who also have by the way,

525
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: I have a great young quarterback. That's about ready to

526
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 5: get paid. But for the Commanders, this is about protecting

527
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 5: Jayden Daniels, making sure that their offensive line is secure.

528
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: That was not all they did. That was the work

529
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: they did on the offensive line.

530
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: On the defensive line, Javon Kinlaw he agrees to terms

531
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 5: with the Commanders on a three year, forty five million

532
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: dollar deal.

533
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: Sure up one side of the offensive line, sure up

534
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: the defensive line. A big day for the Washington Commanders

535
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: in the trenches.

536
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 6: Much like the Commanders, the Bears did a lot of

537
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 6: work to protect Caleb Williams Drew Dolman, the center.

538
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: From the Atlanta Falcons.

539
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: They agreed to a deal with him and that came

540
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 6: after to trades a few days ago for guards Joe

541
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 6: Toney and Jonah Jackson to shore up the interior of

542
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 6: that offensive line. The offensive line was a big priority.

543
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: Kayleb WILLIAMSWISA sixty eight times in his rookie season, so

544
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 6: that has been their focus. And then they switched to

545
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 6: the other side of the line of scrimmage. Grady Jarrett

546
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 6: was agreed to a deal with the Bears about ten

547
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 6: minutes after the Atlanta Falcons released him. So a lot

548
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 6: of work in the trenches for the Chicago Bears, but

549
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 6: the focus certainly on the offensive line and improving protection

550
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 6: for Caleb Williams.

551
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 7: Mike, Now your turn, Yes, all right, Judy, we're talking

552
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: about the Jacksonville Jaguars who have had a busy day here.

553
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 7: And you look at these additions down at the bottom

554
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 7: of Diami. Brown a one year deal, ten million dollars,

555
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 7: a former commander's wide receiver who certainly has flash. Robert

556
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 7: Hainsey as well, he got a twenty one million dollar

557
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 7: deal if I remember that one correctly.

558
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: Patrick McCarry's going to be a guard. He's played guard and.

559
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 7: Tackle here, so they really added to their offense. Nick

560
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 7: Mullin's not even mentioned there, the new backup to Trevor Lawrence.

561
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 7: He follows James Gladstone, the neral manager from the Rams.

562
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 7: Excuse me or excuse me. He follows Grant Yudinsky, not

563
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 7: James Gladstone. James Gladstone brought over their tight end where

564
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 7: they also signed, but Grant Udinsky, the assistant coach who

565
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 7: is now with the Jaguars, was with Nick Mullins in Minnesota.

566
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: Brings him along.

567
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 7: And then Jordan Lewis are a Sports We reported this earlier.

568
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 7: Did this deal to make him the highest paid nickel

569
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 7: cornerback in the NFL here on a ten million dollar deal. Yeah,

570
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: we all reported that one earlier. So the Jaguars and

571
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: James Gladstone, who I mentioned is a long time manager,

572
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 7: busy here getting things in line for Liam Cohen and

573
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 7: this new coaching staff.

574
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: Another team that we expected to be active and they

575
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: very have much been is the New England Patriots, who

576
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 3: made the biggest signing just in terms of pure dollars

577
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: on the defensive side, landing one of the big free

578
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: agent prizes Milton Williams on a four year, one hundred

579
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: and four million dollar deal twenty six million a year

580
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 3: for a player at the defensive tackle position. This is

581
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: a ton of money for Bilton Williams and a big

582
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 3: part of what they want to accomplish in New England,

583
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: which is becoming very stout upfront on that line. They

584
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: also spent three year, sixty million dollars on Carlton Davis.

585
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: They signed Robert Spalane, the linebacker on a free agent deal,

586
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 3: yesterday signed Harold Landry the edge. A ton of action

587
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: for the New England Patriots and a ton more action is.

588
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: We got a bunch of text coming in here, so

589
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: you give us comme minutes here, Patrick, We'll be back

590
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: with board very very soon.

591
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Somy. It's always fun to look ahead to

592
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: more information coming in courtesy of the Insiders. As they know,

593
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: their attention is divided, which is understandable. The Patriots the

594
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: attention devoted some of these very very talented gentlemen. News

595
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: just discussed Milton Williams, Harold Landry, Carlton Davis coming over

596
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: from the Detroit Lions, and Morgan Moses gets a three

597
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: year deal could be worth about twenty four million dollars.

598
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: The Patriots coming in to free agency with the largest

599
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: amount of cap space. I think even if we account

600
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: for some of these, they would still be in the

601
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: top ten. Let's bring in Brian Baldinger here on the Insiders.

602
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: Bald how do you feel about the blues the Patriots

603
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: have made thus far?

604
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 11: Well, hold on one second, Pat, I see everybody's taking

605
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 11: a tie off.

606
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: Okay, we just yeah, I want us to join the fun.

607
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 11: Got a better now, Yeah, So here's the deal, Pat,

608
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 11: You go back to twenty twenty one when Mike Rabel

609
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 11: was a head coach of Tennessee. They were the number

610
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 11: one seed in the AFC that year, and they were

611
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 11: built around a strong defensive line. Jeffrey Simmons, Harold Landry,

612
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 11: who's now a Patriot, still playing great football, all right,

613
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 11: still getting to the quarterback. You sign Milton Williams to

614
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 11: go with a young Keon White going into your third year,

615
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 11: a young Christian Barmore coming back healthy after the things

616
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 11: that he suffered a year ago. And you can see

617
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 11: and see kind of the blueprint of what Mike Rabel

618
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 11: is doing, taking what front from what he did in

619
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 11: Tennessee just a short time ago. Like it's got to

620
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 11: be in the trenches, Morgan Moses comes on the offensive line,

621
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 11: you can see these pieces where you want to run

622
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 11: the ball, you want to be able to affect the quarterback.

623
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 11: And Milton Williams is a better pass rusher than run

624
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 11: or run defender right now. So I think they've got

625
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 11: some young pieces and some pieces that have played with

626
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 11: Mike that can start to establish that defensive front that

627
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 11: used to be so difficult to go up against. What

628
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 11: he was the head coach at Tennessee.

629
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Including a couple of players at least one somewhat familiar

630
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: with in Harold Landry looking forward to seeing just what

631
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Patriots will look like. We get

632
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: a chance to see Baldy signs tie as we transfer

633
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: from the Frenzy to the Insiders, which, as I've been told,

634
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: is a tieless show. No ties. In terms of quarterbacks,

635
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: you can only start one at a time, the best

636
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: available remaining, and what do we think of Justin Fields

637
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: and Sam Darnold. The conversation with Greg Rolls at dall

638
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: coming up next on the Insiders. All the frenzy does continue,

639
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: and we've got some quarterbacks who are still out there.

640
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: The ones that are still available. The top ones per

641
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: are Greg Rosenthal, his top one oh one hot and

642
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: fresh over on NFL dot Com. He's got in this

643
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: order Jamis Russ, Jacoby Brissett, and Danny Dimes Diastros. There

644
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: being Aaron Rodgers expected to be released, so he's not

645
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: a free agent. So let's discuss these quarterbacks with Greg

646
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: Rosenthal here in studio. Good to be with you, Greg.

647
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm being pressured to tell you to take the tile off,

648
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: but you're not moving on that.

649
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 9: No.

650
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 12: I just thought i'd bring a level of professionalism that

651
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 12: this show has been lacking.

652
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I'm not so the thinly veiled shot.

653
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: Perhaps.

654
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean no, I'm just kidding Gus, because we're close friends,

655
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: which means I know that Greg has passionate feelings about

656
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. For those who are out there, Greg who

657
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching Gino play in Seattle, tell us how you

658
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: think the Sam Darnald fit is going to be?

659
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: Okay?

660
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 12: First of all, you know, for Gino fans, we're you

661
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 12: know about Dome Gino. Gino is great in the Dome,

662
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 12: he'll be fine in Vegas. I think you look at

663
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 12: the Donald move on and you look at the contract.

664
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 12: It's very similar to the one that Baker Mayfield got

665
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 12: a couple of years ago, and so it does make sense.

666
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: In some ways.

667
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 12: He's much younger seven years, he's cheaper. You look at

668
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 12: Clint Kubiak's offense, that's the type of system that Donald

669
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 12: thrived in a year ago. It all makes sense. But

670
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 12: one thing they haven't thought about, Okay, Gino Smith is

671
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 12: better at football, the sport of football. So when he

672
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 12: throws the ball, it goes exactly where he wants it

673
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 12: to go. Before the play starts, Gino Smith gets a

674
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 12: picture in his head, and after the play starts he

675
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 12: hasn't even clearer picture in his head. And he's very

676
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 12: smart at understanding what is happening out there on the

677
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 12: football field. I question whether Sam Darnold does that as well,

678
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 12: But I do understand with the change in the system,

679
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 12: that was the one part of the equation that for

680
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 12: Seattle in a vacuum, it does make sense. But we

681
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 12: don't live in a vacuum. Gino Smith is better.

682
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it exists in a world where there's plenty of

683
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: error oxygen available, and also there are offensive line allowing

684
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of quick pressures against Geno Smith. Perhaps those

685
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: circumstances we need to be remedied are for Sam Daldwin

686
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: or for anyone else. Let's go over to a team

687
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: that both Gino and Sam Donold used to play for famously,

688
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. How do you feel about Justin Fields.

689
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 10: Is a jet?

690
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 12: I'm trying to be optimistic because this New Jets era

691
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 12: with Aaron Glenn, I think it's going to be a

692
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 12: lot better. And he signs two for forty million dollars

693
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 12: and some of the initial reaction was wow, like thirty

694
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 12: million guaranteed for Justin Fields really, And I'm thinking, have

695
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 12: you been watching the contracts that have been signed the

696
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 12: last couple of days too? To at well, he's like

697
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 12: a fourth receiver gets ten million dollars. BJ Hill really

698
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 12: like him. A rotational defensive tackle sixteen million dollars guaranteed.

699
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 12: So yes, I think the guy who's going to be

700
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 12: starting Week one and be the most important part of

701
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 12: your organization is worth that kind of money. And you

702
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 12: think about what the Jets haven't had over the last

703
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 12: few years. Here's what they do have. A true number

704
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 12: one receiver, a dynamic backfield with Justin Fields adds to

705
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 12: I think that's going to be a great running game,

706
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 12: and four fifths of a really strong offensive line. So

707
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 12: I think defensive coordinators like Aaron Glenn used to be

708
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 12: are actually going to struggle a little bit with the

709
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 12: run game that the Jets bring. I wouldn't be surprised

710
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 12: if they bring in a rookie as well, but this

711
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 12: is a sign they're not really in love with that

712
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 12: rookie class.

713
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: A run game with a run aability for Justin Fields

714
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: that was put on the bench by the Pittsburgh Steelers

715
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: in favor of Russell Wilson perhaps not back as the

716
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: state of the Steelers don't have a quarterback right now?

717
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: What do we do with Russ? What's Russell wing? He's

718
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: number two on the board right.

719
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 12: So it seems like Rogers is the bell of the

720
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 12: ball right now. He would be a top my free

721
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 12: agency list. By the way, at quarterback, I would put

722
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 12: him somewhere in the twenties. If he was on the

723
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 12: top one to one, then Russell Wilson is looking at

724
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 12: maybe the Giants, maybe the Titans. The Browns are out there,

725
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 12: and I would surmise I don't want to see him

726
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 12: starting for a bad team. I don't think it's going

727
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 12: to go well. I think it's a bad sign that

728
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 12: the Steelers reportedly preferred Fields over Wilson, despite them watching

729
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 12: Wilson for all those games. How about we put him

730
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 12: in Kansas City. Let's go get Russell Wilson another ring.

731
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: Why doesn't he just be.

732
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 12: A really good backup? Because to me, Russell Wilson at

733
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 12: this point in his career maybe gives you a shot

734
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 12: in the arm kind of like he did for the

735
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 12: Steelers three four games. He's the new Ryan Fitzpatrick. How

736
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 12: about that for the next part of Russell Wilson's career.

737
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: That's it promoted to a backup spot for us, a

738
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: guy who could be starting in a number of places.

739
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: And you said it correct. Aaron Rodgers would be perhaps

740
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 1: will be your number one available quarterback on the board

741
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: if it takes some time for him to found a spot.

742
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: Judy pointed out earlier in the show, it's really just

743
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: two teams the need quarterbacks, the Giants and the Steelers.

744
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 11: I guess is that it.

745
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 12: I mean, first of all, those are pretty good options.

746
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 12: I think the Giants are a little more turnkey than

747
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 12: people think. But it is funny these two classic franchises,

748
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 12: you know, great head coach obviously in Pittsburgh, and they're

749
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 12: sitting there, they don't know what they're doing at quarterback.

750
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 12: They're hoping that Aaron Rodgers chooses them after the season

751
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 12: that he just had. He did play well late in

752
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 12: the season. But my issue is that NFL Network did

753
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 12: this whole scheme last week where they started playing great

754
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 12: games from old free of the free agent class, and

755
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 12: they played some Aaron Rodgers Davante. It was only three

756
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 12: years ago, and I was like, man, that Aaron Rodgers

757
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 12: was a lot better he just doesn't move the same.

758
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 12: He's not as aggressive. He's certainly not willing to take hits.

759
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 12: Everything that Mike Garofolo said in your A Block, you

760
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 12: guys did a great job in terms of giants being

761
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 12: confident and taking their time with Aaron Rodgers makes me

762
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 12: think that is the fit for him. You don't have

763
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 12: to leave. I've lived in New York. You don't want

764
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 12: to live one you know, leave once you live there.

765
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 12: I think that is a perfect spot for him and

766
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 12: Brian Dable, Like I said, a little more turnkey, better

767
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 12: offensive line than people thinking some weapons around.

768
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: Ye, some calls for positivity. It's time to start believing

769
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: folks in the New Jersey, New York area. Aaron Rodgers

770
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: is gonna make things work with Brian Dable. If you

771
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: want to see Greg Rosenthal's one hundred and one NFL

772
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: dot com, it's always up. You can add the slash

773
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: Rosenthal to see Gregs full list was just constantly being

774
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: updated because this man provides a service too.

775
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 12: All watch and listen to NFL Daily with Patrick Claiban. Tonight,

776
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 12: Hey there we go.

777
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: We got options to folks. If your few of the rams,

783
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,320

00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer is going to land with the Buffalo Bills

Speaker 1: a three year deal worth up to thirty six million

786
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: dollars with eighteen million dollars in guarantees, according to NFL

787
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: Network insider Ian Rapport, joining us now Cam Wolf on

788
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: the Insiders as Cam. It has been a busy offseason

789
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: thus far for the Buffalo Bills, so close margins, so

790
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: slim in the NFL falling to the Kansas City Chiefs

791
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: back in the AFC Championship game. Very busy, especially in

792
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball.

793
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, Patrick, A week like free agency teaching you just

794
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 13: how important it is to draft and develop and keep

795
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 13: your own guys. That's really been Buffalo's playing so far.

796
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 13: Their general manager, Brandon Being, made it a priority to

797
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 13: keep their top guys, starting with their MVP quarterback Josh

798
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 13: Allen just signed that massive, big money extension taking care

799
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 13: of him knowing that for at least the next half

800
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 13: decade he's going to be slinging the rock for them

801
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 13: and taking care of his receiving corps as well. Khalil

802
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 13: Shakira had that big extension, and I don't think a

803
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 13: lot of people nationally just know how important Shakira is.

804
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 13: I talked to Josh Allen a ton about it. He said,

805
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 13: he is my safety valve. He is the guy that

806
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 13: I trust, that I go to in key situations. He

807
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 13: assumed that role and he earned himself a big money

808
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 13: extension as well. And Josh Palmer, their addition today, is

809
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 13: really a final piece of that group. Talking with Brandon

810
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 13: being down there in Indy, he said, we really wanted

811
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 13: to find somebody that could stretch the field horizonically and vertically.

812
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 13: And Josh Palmer, separation is going to be the key

813
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 13: word for him because he's got a level of separation

814
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 13: that this Bills group just did not have last season.

815
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 13: And so each guy in this group, Coleman, their rookie

816
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 13: is well has a specific skill that Josh can excel in.

817
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 13: And now Palmer finishes that final piece. So Shakira Palmer,

818
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 13: Keon Coleman, Dalton Kakaid, and James Cook. A nice five

819
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 13: piece set for Josh Allen going it's next year.

820
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, five being thematic because people always say, you got

821
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: to have like of receivers and guys who catch the ball.

822
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: You gotta have the basketball team out there. The Buffalo

823
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Bills have certainly constructed it within the last two off seasons,

824
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: including drafting Keyon Coleman. Let's look at the rest of

825
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: the roster, though, Cam. What's left to do for Brandon

826
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: Bean and the Buffalo Bills is they try to get

827
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl.

828
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 13: Well, the first thing I'm looking at is do they

829
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 13: finish their last two big potential extensions. James Cook, a

830
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 13: guy I just mentioned, wants to get an extension. They've

831
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 13: had conversations with his team. He's coming off a career

832
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 13: year running the ball and really helping make this a

833
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 13: complete Buffalo Bills team that was no longer just Josh

834
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 13: Allen slinging the ball fifty times a game. James Cook,

835
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 13: whether it was zero degrees or one hundred degrees, put

836
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 13: a lot on his load and he can catch the

837
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 13: ball the backfield. He's a guy they got to take

838
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 13: care of cornerback Christian Benford as well, another top young

839
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 13: guid his position. They also have been talking about potentially

840
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 13: giving him an extension. Again, if you give your guys

841
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 13: an extension, you don't have to overpay in free agency

842
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 13: like we see a lot of people do in this period.

843
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 13: And then as far as additions, pass rush has been

844
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 13: their priority. They made a move earlier this offseason to

845
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 13: release Von Miller. I'm told there's still conversations going potentially

846
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 13: trying to get him back at a lower number. They

847
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 13: value his veteran experience, but they want to add at

848
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 13: least two pieces into that pass rush group. We saw

849
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 13: him in the AFC Championship game. They just couldn't get

850
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 13: Patrick Mahomes down on third down when it counts. They

851
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 13: need that extra push, that extra pass rush, and I

852
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 13: expect them to add at least one more piece before

853
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 13: this free agency weekends.

854
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: And it's another reason to go ahead and get that

855
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: deal done. Although it could be seen as rewarding the MVP,

856
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: you can create some cap space to make these moves

857
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: by going ahead and getting that Josh Allen extension done.

858
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: And Brandon Bean and the Bills have been able to

859
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: do just that. Cam Wolf with the latest on the

860
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,839

Speaker 1: million dollars in guarantees and update on that deal and

873
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: just a couple of quarterback vacants. He's remaining, But there's

874

Speaker 1: only one Aaron Rodgers. Where does Aaron Rodgers go? Where

875
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: does he want to go? What does Aaron Rodgers desire?

876
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,759

912
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,720

Speaker 1: on our show as well. And here's a look at

920
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: the free agency big board. Think about it like in

921
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: terms of the draft, as we get some of these

922
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: guys off the board. A huge deal for Milton Williams

923
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, who do have the most amount of

924
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: cap space. Look at that as go down to number eighteen,

925
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: a Son Reddick chose to pay to not play for

926
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: the Jets, essentially for a large portion of twenty twenty

927
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: four would ultimately companies now gone back to Tampa Bay.

928
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: Let's go through some of these and potentially look at

929
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: some more potential moves as we have a out to

930
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: Tom and our insiders.

931
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 3: Folks, Patrick, I want to see that board for just

932
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 3: another second if we can, because I know I've been

933
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: staring so Vie and Judy and Mike into these bray

934
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 3: lights like last ten to twelve hours.

935
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 4: Here.

936
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 3: Can anyone read that? Because my eyes are like it's

937
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 3: all blurry. I can't. I think that's Amari Cooper is

938
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: the highest ranked unsigned player at this point. I think

939
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 3: that's Byron Murphy. Next, I'm not actually sure this is

940
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: like I would not They don't have a logo next

941
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: to him, Mike. I presume that's what we're doing here.

942
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: All I know is I would if this for for

943
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 3: my driver's license, I'd be in a driving Miss Daisy

944
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: situation for the next year. So let's talk about some

945
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 3: of the big quarterback moves ian starting out with Sam Darnold.

946
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 3: Finally and officially on Wednesday, landing with the Seattle Seahawks,

947
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 3: three year deal one hundred point five million dollars for Donald,

948
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 3: coming off the best season of his career at age

949
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: twenty seven, and this is a pretty similar deal to

950
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: the one that the Seahawks offered Gino Smith. He said,

951
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 3: I had no ship to Vegas for a third round pick.

952
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 3: Now Donald has his landing spot and seat. It is

953
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: the new QB one for Seattle. Sam Donald, you right.

954
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 5: As soon as it became clear that Gino Smith has

955
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 5: headed to the Las Vegas Raiders, everyone seemed to think

956
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 5: Sam Donald was going to the Seahawks. And he put

957
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 5: his best product on the field this year, had the

958
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 5: best season of his career, and then of course we're

959
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 5: waiting on a landing spot.

960
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: Where was he going to go?

961
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 5: What spaces were open except for Minnesota, who was going

962
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 5: to pay him thirty million dollars plus. And then it

963
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 5: became clear that the Seattle Seahawks had an opening. Talks

964
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 5: broke down with Geno Smith and the Seahawks. They shipped

965
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 5: him to the Raiders and there was Sam Donald's landing spot.

966
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 5: You're right, he gets essentially the Baker Mayfield deal, the

967
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 5: kind of deal that they would have given Gino Smith.

968
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 5: Instead it goes to Donald and now the opportunity is

969
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 5: there for him.

970
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: He can prove that the.

971
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 5: Kind of year he had for Kevin O'Connell and the

972
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 5: Vikings was not a fluke. He has always been talented,

973
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 5: a very high draftic dealt with some stuff, a lot

974
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 5: of stuff, several different organizations, bounced around a little bit,

975
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 5: but actually, similar to Baker Mayfield, took some time, really

976
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 5: seems to have found his footing. Now goes QB one

977
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 5: for Seattle. They're going to protect him, They're going to

978
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 5: run the ball. It is an incredible situation for Sam

979
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 5: Donald in Seattle.

980
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 6: Well, the career renaissance that Sam Donald is now in

981
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 6: the middle of actually began in San Francisco after he

982
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 6: had all that stuff, as you called it, Ian, with

983
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 6: the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers in San Francisco.

984
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 6: The passing game coordinator at that time twenty twenty three

985
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 6: was Clint Kubiak, who is now the offensive coordinator for

986
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 6: the Seattle Seahawks.

987
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: So this is a good fit.

988
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 6: This should be a pretty smooth transition. He obviously knows

989
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 6: Sam Donald's game and what he likes and vice versa.

990
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 6: So this should work out very well for Sam Donald because,

991
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 6: look for a while, it looked like his best option

992
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 6: might be returning to the Minnesota Vikings, but they have

993
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy, their first round draft pick, waiting in the wing.

994
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 6: So that was never going to be the best situation

995
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 6: for Sam Donald. To actually get to go forward as

996
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 6: a starter and know that he is the starter untouched

997
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 6: in Seattle he is now. It is a bit of

998
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 6: a reset right now for the Seattle Seahawks. They just

999
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 6: gartet of DK Metcalf. They're number one receiver. Obviously they

1000
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 6: are starting over with a new quarterback, but as Ian

1001
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 6: pointed out, they are going to improve his protection protection.

1002
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 4: They certainly need to steer up that offensive line a

1003
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 4: little bit.

1004
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 6: They want to run the ball, So this is a

1005
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 6: good spot for Sam Donald's finally gets to be a

1006
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 6: starting quarterback unquestioned again, Yeah.

1007
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 7: I mean Sam Donald gets fifty five million guaranteed, gets

1008
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 7: guarantees into year two of his deal if he stayed

1009
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 7: in Minnesota. We know what Minnesota's plan is right now.

1010
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 7: They've got JJ McCarthy. They're not going to guarantee money

1011
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 7: beyond year one. So this was all about could he

1012
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 7: go back there on a one year deal? And the

1013
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 7: number he's getting in year one with the Seahawks is

1014
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 7: thirty seven and a half million dollars, which is much

1015
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 7: higher than he would have gotten from the Minnesota Vikings

1016
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 7: on a one year deal. So every metric along the

1017
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 7: way made so much more sense. And for the Seahawks

1018
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 7: in this case to get a player in Sam Donald who,

1019
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 7: even if the production is comparable to Gino Smith, you're

1020
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 7: paying him much less than Smith would have wanted it

1021
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 7: and probably is going to get in the near future

1022
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 7: from the Raiders, by the way, and you're also picking

1023
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 7: up a third round pick along the way. So this

1024
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 7: is more from an analytics perspective. If you're looking at

1025
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 7: it from that perspective. You picked up money, you picked

1026
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 7: up draft pick compensation, and you might even have yourself

1027
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 7: an even better player here in Sam Donald. That's obviously

1028
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 7: the way they are looking at it. And they've got

1029
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 7: a ton of capital draft capital over the first three

1030
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 7: rounds now having made the trades that they've made in

1031
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 7: the last couple of days.

1032
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 3: There was a time Sam Donald donned a Jets jersey.

1033
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: Now it is Justin Fields on in that jersey. He

1034
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: is headed to the Jets on a two year, forty

1035
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 3: million dollars deal with New York Ian. This was one

1036
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 3: again that we had heard, especially over the past twenty

1037
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 3: four hours. The Steelers had an offer out the Fields

1038
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 3: for quite a while. He did not end up responding

1039
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: to it. There was some negotiation back and forth, but

1040
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 3: it became pretty clear by last night this was going

1041
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 3: in the direction of the Jets. Why was this the

1042
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 3: right fit for everybody involved?

1043
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you have one team that's sort of quietly confident,

1044
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 5: another team that's waiting to hear an answer, generally you

1045
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 5: have your answer.

1046
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: Justin Fields the new QB one for the New York Jets.

1047
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 5: This was obviously a priority for Aaron Glenn and Darren Mugy,

1048
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 5: and this new Jets regime deviled a lot with Aaron Rodgers,

1049
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 5: no doubt about.

1050
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: It did not turn out the way they wanted.

1051
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 5: Now a much more low cost but dangerous option in

1052
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 5: Justin Fields, and Aaron Glenn came up as a defensive coordinator,

1053
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 5: knows the challenges of facing really good athletic quarterback who

1054
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 5: could also sling it. All he did, guys, was lead

1055
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 5: the Steelers to a four and two star last year,

1056
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 5: still got benched anyway. And one thing I couldn't figure

1057
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 5: out go through this whole process was how much that.

1058
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Weight on him?

1059
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 5: Like obviously it did not happen the way he wanted

1060
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 5: last year in the Steelers. Obviously it was a situation

1061
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 5: where he wanted to stay in as the starter. Would

1062
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 5: this effect his choice? Jets is a great opportunity, of course,

1063
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 5: But it does seem like that affected things as Justin

1064
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 5: Fields really turns the page on the Steelers, lands with

1065
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,479
Speaker 5: the Jets and begins a new chapter of his career.

1066
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: As QB one unquestioned this.

1067
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 4: Time, we saw a little bit in those highlights for you.

1068
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 6: We're just rolling up what Justin Fields can do with

1069
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 6: his arm and with his legs, and we saw that

1070
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 6: at the beginning of the season in training camp and

1071
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 6: then at the start of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1072
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 6: although it seemed like they were giving him a very

1073
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 6: contained package for the Pittsburgh Steelers that they were slowly expanding.

1074
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 6: And then of course the change was made to Russell Wilson.

1075
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 6: But there were people in the building even when they

1076
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 6: went to Russell Wilson who had questions about whether that

1077
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 6: was the right decision at that moment, because they really

1078
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 6: thought there was more to see from Justin Fields, much

1079
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 6: more of an upside. We didn't get to see it

1080
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 6: last year for the Pittsburgh Steelers, certainly a long time

1081
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 6: it worked with Russell Wilson. But now that is what

1082
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 6: the Jets will bank on that the ceiling is still

1083
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 6: very high for Justin Fields.

1084
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 4: What we saw, especially last year in.

1085
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh was pretty enticing with his arm and with his legs,

1086
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 6: and if they can get that out of him, Look,

1087
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 6: it is a clean start for the New York Jets

1088
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 6: with a young quarterback who they hope.

1089
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 4: Is on the rise.

1090
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Tanner Engstra in the new offensive coordinator. He's

1091
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 7: young himself, I think he's forty two from what I

1092
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 7: saw earlier. Yeah, he's gonna have to find ways to

1093
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 7: utilize justin fields. And what the Steelers did last year

1094
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 7: when he did start, was like, Okay, let's start with

1095
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 7: a smaller I don't want to say package of plays,

1096
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 7: but basically, let's try to build this thing up with

1097
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 7: justin fields, minimize the mistakes, put him in positions to

1098
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 7: make the right reads to not make mistakes, and then

1099
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 7: as he goes along, we're gonna build this thing bigger

1100
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 7: when they give him a chance.

1101
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: To really open things up.

1102
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 7: When we got to that point, that's when Mike thomains, no, no, no,

1103
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 7: I'm going to go start Russell Wilson. So let's see

1104
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 7: what Tennor Ingstron and the Jets can do here, not

1105
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 7: only to start well with justin fields, but open this

1106
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 7: thing up and get the full value of everything that

1107
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 7: he can bring from a skill standpoint. Engstrom was with

1108
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 7: Ben Johnson in Detroit and they certainly ran some creative

1109
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 7: stuff there.

1110
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: Make a little bit of that stuff in there, it

1111
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: might be fun.

1112
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 3: So Sam Darnold Seattle starter justin field certainly at this

1113
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 3: point slotted in as the Jets started he still got

1114
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 3: a half dozen teams that do not have a clear

1115
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 3: starting quarterback for the twenty twenty five season, So where

1116
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 3: could they turn? Jameis Winston is a free agent, so

1117
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 3: is a Russell Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones. Then way

1118
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: down there at eight point front that I can read

1119
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, forty one years old, going to be released

1120
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 3: by the Jets. They have to do that after four

1121
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: pm Eastern time on Wednesday, the start of the new

1122
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 3: league year, because of the rules and for salary cap purposes.

1123
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: Here so, Judy, you've had time to sit back today

1124
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 3: watch the various chess pieces being put in play. What

1125
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 3: are the next moves here on the board?

1126
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 6: Well, the next move I'm waiting for is Aaron Rodgers

1127
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 6: landing spot. And you mentioned there are a number of

1128
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 6: teams that don't have starting quarterbacks right now. The two

1129
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 6: most obvious ones, though, are we were just talking about

1130
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 6: the Steelers and the New York Giants. The New York

1131
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 6: Giants have been having conversations with Aaron Rodgers for a

1132
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 6: little while now, a few days at least. No resolution

1133
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 6: on that, obviously, but Rogers has to decide what he

1134
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 6: wants what's best for him. The Steelers now have an opening,

1135
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 6: and if they pivot to him, is that the more

1136
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 6: attractive option for them?

1137
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 4: For him?

1138
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 6: They have two dynamite wide receivers now after the DK

1139
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 6: Metcalf trade. Is that the option that he will go for?

1140
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 6: That is a playoff team with a really good defense.

1141
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 6: You think they are much close to being a real

1142
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 6: contender than the New York.

1143
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 4: Giants are right now.

1144
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 6: Then again, maybe he doesn't want to leave New York.

1145
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 6: As our buddy Craig g Rosenthal said, why's you live here?

1146
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 6: You don't want to leave?

1147
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 14: We'll see. It's all up to Aaron Rodgers, as it

1148
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 14: often is. Judy, I'm glad you brought that up because

1149
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 14: you look at him. Oh, DK Metcalf, you want to

1150
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 14: go throw to him? Big body guy can make some

1151
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 14: big plays. You got George Pickens potentially as well. How

1152
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 14: about Malik Neighbors.

1153
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 7: And my understanding is the Giants have made it clear

1154
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 7: to Aaron Rodgers. We think you're really gonna jibe well

1155
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 7: with Malik Neighbors because Malik has got a.

1156
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 2: You can keep showing Aaron Rodgers. It's fine, you can

1157
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 2: show him. Throw the other guys. We don't have footage

1158
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: of him throwing the.

1159
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 7: Elik Neighbors yet we might because the Giants are trying

1160
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 7: to sell him on the idea that this guy has

1161
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 7: a great football mind, and that's what Aaron Rodgers needs

1162
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 7: from his receiver, especially from his young wide receivers. Doesn't

1163
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 7: need those mistakes. Malik Neighbors is on point. He can

1164
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 7: see things, he can make adjustments. He's great during the

1165
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 7: week in practice, he's great when it comes to installing

1166
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 7: the game plan. This is the kind of stuff they've

1167
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 7: been selling Aaron Rodgers on, and he can He's not

1168
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 7: just a straight line guy. He can do a bunch

1169
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 7: of different things. So that's been part of the sell

1170
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 7: to Aaron Rodgers. Let's see if he buys. I have

1171
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 7: no idea what Mike g said. I was typing on

1172
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 7: a tweet.

1173
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 5: And uh yeah, well, let's talk about Darius Slayton for

1174
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 5: the New York Giants. There it is right there. That's

1175
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 5: a great tweet, if I do say so myself. As

1176
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 5: I finished typing out this tweet, we still don't.

1177

00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 5: Oh?

1181

Speaker 1: front on the offensive line. They have certainly gone out

1240
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: of their way to address those thus far stacy they have.

1241
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 9: I mean, you can clearly see Patrick that Ryan Poles

1242
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 9: and Ben Johnson have sat down and spent a significant

1243
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 9: amount of time together in terms of personnel and building

1244
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 9: a foundation which has to start in the trenches and

1245
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 9: when you allow thirty eight percent QB pressure rate as

1246
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 9: an offensive line last season, which was the fourth worst

1247
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 9: mark in the NFL. But even worse than that Patrick,

1248
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 9: they allowed fifty seven unblocked QB pressures in Chicago last

1249
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 9: season with a rookie quarterback, then rookie quarterback Caleb Williams,

1250
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 9: and he was sacked sixty eight times. And the run

1251
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 9: game mustard from its running backs just three and a

1252
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 9: half yards per CA, which was the worst mark in

1253
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 9: the NFL. So they go out and they get Joe Tooney,

1254
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 9: who is tom Brady Patrick Mahomes quarterback. So he brings

1255
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 9: that experience. Ten year veteran entering this season, four time

1256
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 9: Super Bowl Champion's an All Pro. He's going to make

1257
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 9: Braxton Jones or whichever side they put him on. If

1258
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 9: he's at left guard, by Braxton Jones a better football

1259
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 9: player and if it's on the other side, Darnell Right.

1260
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 9: They added Jonah Jackson. He was drafted by the Lions.

1261
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 9: Ben Johnson was in Detroit at that time, and they

1262
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 9: worked him into a Pro Bowl not in twenty twenty one,

1263
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 9: and then Drew Dolman from Atlanta had the fifth best

1264
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 9: run blocking grade among centers, so Tooney the second best

1265
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 9: pass blocking grade among guards last season and obviously Dolman.

1266
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 9: And so you ask yourself the question, what are realistic

1267
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 9: expectations for the Chicago Bears, and specifically for Caleb Williams.

1268
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 9: And I was just texting somebody who knows this team

1269
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 9: very well win. I mean, I can sit here and

1270
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 9: talk about he needs to play with better efficiency.

1271
01:00:59,000 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 4: He should.

1272
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 9: They're fixing the offensive line, of course, that he needs

1273
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 9: to play on time and rhythm with his receivers. He

1274
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 9: needs to figure out the cadence with this offensive line.

1275
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 9: But the bottom line is they have to win. They

1276
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 9: believe this is the quarterback of the future, and that's

1277
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 9: why Ryan Poles has now solidified the interior. And I

1278
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 9: don't think they're finished in the draft. I think they

1279
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 9: add more to their offensive line and their defensive line

1280
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 9: as we've saw in free agency today, but they'll also

1281
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 9: do it in the draft.

1282
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I believe. Yes, I see certainly a case to be

1283
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: made for having those expectations for the Bears to win.

1284
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: As the season began last year across the division in Minnesota,

1285
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: the expectations weren't necessarily that high. Thought they were going

1286
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: to start a ricky quarterback and JJ McCarthy income Sam Donald.

1287
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: They have this magical run. Now that run concludes with

1288
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Donald getting one hundred million dollars over three years to

1289
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: play for Seattle. So what's next to quarterback non JJ

1290
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: McCarthy for the Vikings.

1291
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, well it's JJ McCarthy time. Make no mistake about it.

1292
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 9: Quasia Dofo Mensa, their general manager, spoke about it. His trajectory.

1293
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 9: They love his trajectory coming off the injury, the surgery,

1294
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 9: and now he'll enter this season as really the prime guy.

1295
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 9: What is left on this roster Daniel Jones and Sam

1296
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 9: Donald is now headed to Seattle. Nick mullins is no

1297
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 9: longer with this group. To my knowledge based upon our notes,

1298
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 9: our research notes. Here's the interesting thing about it is

1299
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 9: something I learned about Kevin O'Connell, the reigning coach of

1300
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 9: the Year in the NFL. You mentioned those expectations, Patrick,

1301
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 9: because I remember being at training camp and we had

1302
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 9: a quarterback competition with that guy on the screen, the

1303
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 9: rookie quarterback, and they took in the first round who's

1304
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 9: going to be the future they expect him to be

1305
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 9: and Sam Donald, well, Sam Donald clearly won the race,

1306
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 9: and when I was in London all the way back

1307
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 9: to shoot week five, I think it was sitting in

1308
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 9: production meetings with Kevin O'Connell. He loved Sam Donald from

1309
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 9: a lead eleven days when he was just a youngster,

1310
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 9: and then he loved him coming out in the draft

1311
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 9: when he was taken I think third overall. Double check

1312
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 9: me on that. But they wanted to bring him in

1313
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 9: and they want depth in their quarterback room, so they're

1314
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 9: going to have to add something here. But this was

1315
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 9: a quarterback that Kevin O'Connell, who now we deem as

1316
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 9: the quarterback Whisperer, was somebody he pounded the table for

1317
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 9: when they knew Kirk Cousins was leaving. So I have

1318
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 9: to imagine Patrick. I say that because I have to

1319
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 9: imagine he's pounding the table for JJ McCarthy. We'll see

1320
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 9: what happens with Daniel Jones, but they're going to have

1321
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 9: to beep up their quarterback room and we'll see what

1322
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 9: that looks like here after this week. But it'll be

1323
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 9: interesting to see how Kevin O'Connell takes another quarterback like

1324
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 9: JJ McCarthy and makes a great situation extraordinary as we

1325
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 9: saw this season with Sam Darnold outside of those last

1326
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 9: two losses.

1327
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I certainly done a lot to earn that moniker

1328
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: of a quarterback whisperer Kevin O'Connell coming off that Coach

1329
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: of the Year performance. We'll see how the Vikings do

1330
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: and contend, and again one of the better divisions in

1331
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the NFL if we could see the make that growth

1332
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: that we talked about at the top of the segment

1333
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: thanks to Stacy Dale's chiming in on the NFC North.

1334
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Let's go down to the South where Chris Godwin resigned.

1335
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: A three year deal could be worth up to sixty

1336
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: six million dollars forty four million of that guarantee to

1337
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: keep Chris Godwin in Tampa Bay. This is season after

1338
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers able to keep Mike Evans, who's

1339
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: a number player who going to have the title mister

1340
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Buck stays in Tampa Bay. To discuss the Bucks, we

1341
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: have Sarah Walls joining us now on the Insiders. What

1342
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: did it take as we look at this, Sarah to

1343
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: keep Chris Godwin in Tampa Bay.

1344
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 9: Well, you see the numbers of the contract that he

1345
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 9: was offered.

1346
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 15: But I think ultimately it's really tough to leave here,

1347
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 15: and it's tough to leave here, especially so when this

1348
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 15: team and especially the offense, has been on a role

1349
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 15: last season. Chris Godwin is clearly comfortable here and I

1350
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 15: talked about earlier today. He'll be coming back for his

1351
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 15: ninth season. You mentioned Mike Evans, he's coming back for

1352
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 15: his twelve season. So when the twenty twenty five season

1353
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 15: gets underway, that's twenty one years of.

1354
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 9: Combined experience of these two playing.

1355
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Together in a Bucks uniform.

1356
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 15: You cannot underestimate what that does for your number one

1357
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 15: and number two receiver. Now, god what's going to address

1358
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 15: the media tomorrow? Which will be great because we haven't

1359
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 15: heard a lot from Christin's He had a season ending

1360
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 15: injury back in Week seven, and when that injury occurred,

1361
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 15: he was on pace for a career year.

1362
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 9: And at that time he was leading.

1363
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 15: The NFL in a bunch of different categories, receptions, yards

1364
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 15: after catch, he was tied for the league lead and

1365
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 15: receiving touchdowns. And the Buccaneers believe, despite the injury, this

1366
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 15: is a guy that works like no other to come back.

1367
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 15: He will do that, and I think overall this is

1368
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 15: a statement once again for Jason light that front office

1369
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 15: how they feel about consistency, because that is something that

1370
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 15: the Buccaneers have had now for several years in a row.

1371
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 15: They also signed offensive guard Ben Brenison, which means they're

1372
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 15: entire as starting offensive line returns again to protect Baker.

1373
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 15: You saw that run game really take off last year

1374
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 15: after being in the league. They were fourth bests in

1375
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 15: the league behind that line. So again, Jason Lyton company

1376
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 15: have done a lot to keep this team in place,

1377
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 15: and that is why you have seen a Buccaneers team

1378
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 15: go to the playoffs five straight years.

1379
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 9: They've won the division title four.

1380
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 15: Straight times, and you like to believe that that probably

1381
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 15: would continue when you make a signing like Chris Godwin.

1382
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Keeping that explosive offense together, they also make a

1383
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: move on the defensive side of the ball is the

1384
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: big story. If Hasan Reddicks twenty twenty four was not

1385
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: playing for an extended amount of time with the Jets,

1386
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: what do they expect for Hassan Reddick next season in

1387
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay.

1388
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 15: Well, the Buccaneers knew that they had to make some

1389
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 15: moves on defense, and I would expect that they're going

1390
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 15: to address a lot of needs in the draft this

1391
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 15: upcoming draft.

1392
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 9: Obviously, Hassan Reddick.

1393
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 15: It's a one year, fourteen million dollar deal and Patrick

1394
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 15: you just alluded to it. Obviously last year was not

1395
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 15: the season he would have liked with the Jets. There

1396
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 15: was the holdout.

1397
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 4: So then the Bucks do.

1398
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 15: They don't like to do these huge, big splash money

1399
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 15: contracts and bring guys in that aren't already under there,

1400
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 15: but they love getting guys on these one year prove

1401
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 15: it deals. We've seen them do that and hit success

1402
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 15: with them time and time again. Baker Mayfield is an

1403
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 15: example of that. Shaq Barrett, who came from Denver, another

1404
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 15: example of that. And they're hoping that Hassan Reddick will

1405
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 15: be the next guy to fall in line with that

1406
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 15: idea that this guy's going to be hungry, he's going

1407
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 15: to want to redeem himself. And prior to his season

1408
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 15: with the Jets, Patrick, he had four straight seasons double

1409
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 15: digit sacks.

1410
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 9: The Bucks would love to have that again. They didn't

1411
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 9: even have a single player on the roster do that.

1412
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 9: This year, Klaijah Clancy had seven and a half sacks.

1413
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 9: Todd Bowles has made it no secret he wants Ballhawks.

1414
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 15: And I would expect that his team has to address

1415
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 15: a cornerback situation either still to come or definitely in

1416
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 15: the draft because they're thin there.

1417
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Patrick, Yeah, it's get to work on this Bucks defense

1418
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: as they again trying to support that offense that was

1419
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: very explosive and trying to get yet another division championship

1420
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: in the NFC South. Sarah Walsh on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1421
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: More to come here on The Insiders, including specifics with

1422
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: regards to the fit for Justin Field's playing for the

1423
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: Jets in twenty twenty five, and that's coming up as

1424
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: we continue here on The Insiders on NFL Network. Back

1425
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: here on The Insiders on NFL Network News coming in

1426
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: today in to our NFL LA newsroom. Justin Fields coming

1427
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: up on Wednesday, it will be official agreeing to a

1428
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: two year deal. We're with up to forty million dollars

1429
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets, thirty million of that guaranteed

1430
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 1: to the former Pittsburgh Steeler former Chicago Bear, got benched

1431
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,799
Speaker 1: after a strong start in Pittsburgh in favor of Russell Wilson,

1432
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: who led them ultimately to their early playoff exit and

1433
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: a loss to Lamar Jackson and the ravens Lamar right

1434
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: there on the top of the quarterbacks with the most

1435
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards since twenty twenty one. But how about down

1436
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: there at the bottom, Justin Fields right around six yards

1437
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of Carrie that's the second most in the NFL. Also,

1438
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: let's bring in Brian Baldinger now on the insiders. Baldy,

1439
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: how do you view the potential fit for Justin Fields

1440
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: and the New York Jets?

1441
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 11: Patrick, I've always liked Justin Fields coming out of Ohio State.

1442
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 11: I liked him. I liked them in Chicago despite some

1443
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 11: terrible coaching that was going on. I liked him in

1444
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 11: Pittsburgh last year, Patrick, I mean, he gets off to

1445
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 11: a four and two start. The two losses a three

1446
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 11: point loss to Indianapolis, a three point loss to the Cowboys.

1447
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 11: He got them the lead against the Cowboys in a

1448
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 11: fourth quarter with a great play, and you can you just.

1449
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: Know that Aaron Glenn is going.

1450
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 11: He's had to defend this guy when he was in Chicago,

1451
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 11: and Aaron Glenn was the defensive coordinator in Detroit and

1452
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 11: he saw him gut their defense time after time again,

1453
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 11: averaging six yards a run in his four year career.

1454
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 11: Right now, I think it's a good fit. He's twenty

1455
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 11: six years old, he's got forty four starts, he's healthy. Look,

1456
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 11: I think he's going to fit in good with what

1457
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 11: they do, and I think they'll build their offense so

1458
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 11: it includes plays just like Patrick where he's going to

1459
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 11: be a part of the run game. And you know,

1460
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 11: I just think that there's a big upside do what

1461
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 11: I think Justin Fields will be able to do with

1462
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 11: some stability coaches that won him. He knows that they

1463
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 11: want him there. I think that's a good fit.

1464
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: And upside that we never really got to see as

1465
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: the season went on in Pittsburgh because he was benched

1466
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,919
Speaker 1: in favor of Russell Wilson Baldy stick around. We'll continue

1467
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: our quarterback discussion because Sam Donald after that great season,

1468
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: very very good season for Sam Donald, making his way

1469
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: to Seattle to play for the Seahawks. It's going to

1470
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: be three years, one hundred and one hundred point five

1471
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. That could be the total contract value. He

1472
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: does get fifty five million of that guaranteed on his deal.

1473
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: So for more on Donald and the potential match made

1474
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: in Seattle, let's come back here to our newsroom. That's

1475
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: where I'm proud to be joined by my friend Omar

1476
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Ruiz joining us in on the discussion. What's this connection

1477
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: with Donald and the Seahawks ultimately going to end up

1478
01:10:58,400 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: looking like well with Donald?

1479
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 16: To me, we just heard justin Fields only twenty six.

1480
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 16: Donald's only twenty seven. It seal seems like he's been

1481
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 16: the league forever.

1482
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 3: But this is a reunion with.

1483
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 16: Clint Kubiak, the new Seahawks offensive coordinator. Donald and Kubiak

1484
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 16: working together in twenty twenty three where they were both

1485
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 16: with the forty nine ers.

1486
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: Of course, Donald was the.

1487
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 16: Backup to Rock Pretty Clint Kubiak was the past game coordinator,

1488
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 16: so they reunite now as quarterback and offensive coordinator. We

1489
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 16: saw what sort of upward trajectory that stint in San

1490
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 16: Francisco launched Donald to that great season last year with

1491
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 16: Minnesota and big picture with that team, the Seahawks saying

1492
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 16: that this gives him a clear identity of what their.

1493
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: Offense wants to look like.

1494
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 16: Obviously, they had Ryan Grubb as their offensive coordinator last

1495
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 16: year first time in the NFL, and John Schneider, their

1496
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 16: general manager, saying they brought in some solid players last year,

1497
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 16: but not necessarily a right fit with that proven system though,

1498
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 16: the Kubiak system that's had a proven track record, they

1499
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 16: know which players definitively to go after to surround Sam

1500
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 16: Donald with as they continue to look to reb that oftense.

1501
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 16: So many big name players have walked out that door,

1502
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 16: so obviously retooling around Sam Donald and listening to Mike

1503
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 16: McDonald's speak at the combine, he talked about how if

1504
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 16: you looked at the playoffs, those teams are physical. They

1505
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 16: play a physical brand of football and that's how they

1506
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 16: want to build this Seahawks team from the inside out, Baldy,

1507
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 16: which I know is right up your alley.

1508
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 11: Well it is, and thanks for that, Omar. And you know,

1509
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 11: I think it's interesting because when they traded Gino Smith,

1510
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 11: who were like and then they let DK metcalf walk,

1511
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 11: you know, to Pittsburgh. You say, what do they had

1512
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 11: a plan? There's a plan here with what Mike. They

1513
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 11: have smart people there. Leslie Fraser runs a defense for

1514
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,560
Speaker 11: Mike McDonald. Kubiak comes from a proven system. They have

1515
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 11: a plan in Seattle. And so while maybe ten games

1516
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 11: looked like that was a good year, even though they

1517
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 11: adn't qualify for the playoffs. That's not the way that

1518
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 11: they want to run the offense right here. So I

1519
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 11: think you'll see some additions on the offense line through

1520
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 11: the draft. I think we'll see a big free agent

1521
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,759
Speaker 11: signing a wide receiver in the draft to compliment Jackson

1522
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 11: Smith and Jigba. But they make no mistake about it.

1523
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 11: This system that Kubiak is running is all based off

1524
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 11: a run game. And when the run game is cooking,

1525
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 11: like it has been with the Rams or the forty

1526
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 11: nine ers or at times the Vikings, this offense clicks.

1527
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 11: And so that's what they want to get going. They

1528
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 11: weren't very good in the run game last year. The

1529
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 11: offense line has to get better. I think they get

1530
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 11: that rolling. I think that Sam Darnold has a chance

1531
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 11: to be real successful in this system.

1532
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's keep it in the division Gays, because right across

1533
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the street, Cooper Cup and the Rams finished one of

1534
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: the greatest wide receiver seasons ever. The team and Cup

1535
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 1: parting ways in the offseason, but they go a different direction,

1536
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily a play style wise, He's going to go

1537
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: in there Devonte Adams and root out edge rushers and

1538
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: play the way the Cooper Cup does. But It does

1539
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: make us think back to times where Sean McVay, they

1540
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: went out and got O'Dell Beckham Junior, had a great

1541
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: start to the Super Bowl. How do you see Devonte

1542
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: fitting in in Los Angeles.

1543
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 16: It's interesting you bring that up because you look at

1544
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 16: Cup and what Sean McVay had said that that was

1545
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 16: the hardest personnel turnover he's had to face here in

1546
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 16: the eight years that he's been head coach of the

1547
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 16: Los Angeles Rams. But to replace him with Devonte Adams,

1548
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 16: it does remind me of the assembling of the twenty

1549
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 16: twenty one team where they had superstars like Von Miller

1550
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 16: and o Dell Beckham Junior and Jaylen Ramsey was a

1551
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 16: part of that team. Of course, Aaron Donald was already there,

1552
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 16: and all those guys are gone and what was supposed

1553
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 16: to be a rebuilding last couple of years has been

1554
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 16: a couple of playoff teams, and we saw how they

1555
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 16: took Philadelphia to the limit and Matthew Stafford back in

1556
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 16: the fold. Pukanakua is now a superstar who's going to

1557
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 16: be paired next to Davonte Adams, who is still playing

1558
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 16: at an extremely high level. The fierceness, the competitiveness that

1559
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 16: he brings to that football team is something that the

1560
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 16: Rams are hoping to benefit from. And I know they

1561
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 16: didn't like this expression in twenty twenty one when they

1562
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 16: won the Super Bowl, but the peers that they are

1563
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 16: all in hitting all those picks the last couple of

1564
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 16: years on the defensive line and that defensive front, how

1565
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 16: they've matured now and they are becoming stars in their

1566
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 16: own right. Baldis when you look at this Rams team

1567
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 16: in twenty twenty five, no surprise they're going after a

1568
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 16: guy like Devonte Adams because Super Bowl or bus appears

1569
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 16: to be what's.

1570
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: On the line for the Rams this upcoming season.

1571
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 11: Well, Davonte's been one of the great points scorers in

1572
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 11: this business since he's been in this league and really

1573
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 11: developed in Green Bay. And one thing about Lesneed and

1574
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 11: Sean McVay, they value veteran experience. You know they always

1575
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 11: say about experience, Omar, the problem with it is by

1576
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 11: time you get enough of it, you're too old to enjoy. Well,

1577
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 11: Davante's not too old. He can still enjoy it. He

1578
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 11: can still be man coverage. He's got eight different releases

1579
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 11: that he can beat you with like he wants the ball.

1580
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 11: And look, he's had great success playing with Aaron Rodgers,

1581
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 11: highly actor quarterback, and the Stafford can do many of

1582
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 11: the same things from the same angles. Recognize defenses, see

1583
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 11: the mismatches out there. Isolate those mismatches. And that's what

1584
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 11: Davonte's all about. Give me the ball in mismatches. I

1585
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 11: don't care who who I'm playing up against. It's fourth

1586
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 11: down and third down, it's red zone. We need to play.

1587
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: Come to me.

1588
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 11: I'll win and if he wins, Stafford will find them

1589
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 11: and they'll They'll create a great connection. I think it's

1590
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 11: a great fit for the Rams right now and everything

1591
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 11: that they want to do. They want this division. They

1592
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 11: want to go deeper to playoffs. It ended on the

1593
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 11: twelve yard line against Philadelphia back in the snow in January.

1594
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 11: They want to go farther than that this year. I

1595
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 11: think DeVante can help them do that.

1596
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that game against the Eagles is considering the

1597
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: run that the Eagles had, really that was the only

1598
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: resistance that they faced in the playoffs. Kind of Matthew

1599
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Stafford of the Rams putting that fear in them in

1600
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: those final moments in the Snow. The Rams getting a

1601
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: little bit better this offseason thanks to Baldy into Omar Ruiz.

1602
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: Look at some of the notable receivers. The reason that

1603
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: we can assemble the receivers in a list is because

1604
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenal created the Top one oh one of this season.

1605
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: It's available at NFL dot com slash Rosenthal. Let's talk

1606
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: about some of these wideouts, Greg, including a guy who

1607
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: had a lot of success across the street and Cooper

1608
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: Cup expected to be released by the Rams's market going

1609
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: to be like for the former Triple Crown winner.

1610
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 12: I worry about it, and yet I see a lot

1611
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 12: of fans out there. I see a lot of reporters

1612
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 12: out there thinking Cooper Cup is the big fish. He's

1613
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 12: the number one receiver you could slide into, let's say

1614
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 12: New England or different sort of offenses and change your team.

1615
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 12: I just don't think he's that player anymore. And you're

1616
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 12: right about everything you did across the street. He made

1617
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 12: my daughter, who's a Rams fan, cry when he caught

1618
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 12: that pass to win the Super Bowl. But the toll

1619
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 12: that it's taken on his body, I think you need

1620
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 12: to turn on the film of late last season. He

1621
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 12: topped thirty yards in a game twice in the last

1622
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 12: seven games, and that's in an ideal situation in an

1623
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 12: offense he knows. So to me, Cooper Cup can fit

1624
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,600
Speaker 12: in as a role player, as a rotational player, you know,

1625
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 12: second or third receiver, but I don't think he's coming

1626
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 12: to save your offense right now, and that's why there

1627
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 12: hasn't been a trade market for him.

1628
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very sad that the biggest part, or one

1629
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: of the big parts of Cooper Cup's game is how

1630
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 1: he could contribute to so many different parts of the game.

1631
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: Probably contributed to the number of injuries that he's dealt

1632
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: with as things have gone on. A guy who's played

1633
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 1: very well late into his career ultimately going to be

1634
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: seen as a replacement for Cooper Cup as Devonte Adams

1635
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: coming over to play in so far with Matthew Stafford

1636
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: and company, how do you see that going.

1637
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 12: I think this has been the biggest and the best

1638
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 12: move of free agency so far. That contract two for

1639
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,759
Speaker 12: forty six. It looks like a lot twenty six guarantee.

1640
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 12: That's actually where you would put a really good number

1641
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 12: two receiver now in this market, and that's what he is.

1642
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 12: And that's why I think it's such a beautiful melding

1643
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 12: of football minds. One of the smartest football players of

1644
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 12: his generation. You put him in a lab with Sean

1645
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 12: McVay and Matthew Stafford, and I think it's absolutely perfect.

1646
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 12: And this is what you can do when you're paying

1647
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 12: your number one receiver fifth round draft pick money. People

1648
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 12: will talk about, oh, wow, you got to take advantage

1649
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 12: when Jayden Daniels on that rookie quarterback. How about Puka

1650
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 12: Nakua making under a million dollars a year when he

1651
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 12: really has worth about thirty five to that team, And

1652
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 12: we'll be making that soon enough. So I'm thinking about

1653
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 12: Don Draper a little bit here, and he's like, that's

1654
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 12: what the capspace is horrid to spend the money, like

1655
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 12: there is nothing that helps to have extra cap space.

1656
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 12: You know what all the caps space did to draw

1657
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 12: on Mayo last year, Like it got him fired.

1658
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 4: It is not going to help.

1659
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 12: So short term deals for great players like DeVante Adams.

1660
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 4: I love that fit.

1661
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to pressure you team management spend the money,

1662
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: just like Greg Rosenthal was pressured into taking his time

1663
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: off for this hour of the Insiders. Let's discuss more

1664
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers. You can go again an NFL

1665
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: dot com slash Rosenthal to look at the list. Let

1666
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: these are the best available free agents according to Greg's

1667
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Lissy puts the age on there because the age. Also,

1668
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 1: I didn't contact in there.

1669
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 12: They put it on.

1670
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know it's available. These players do have ages.

1671
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: Considering that, considering the players the contract, who jumps off

1672
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: the screen as the guy the teams need to be

1673
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: looking at right now, Well.

1674
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 12: Amari Cooper is a top the list. He's a top

1675
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,560
Speaker 12: my entire one on one right now. It's got me

1676
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 12: wondering did I overrate Amari Cooper a little bit? I

1677
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,040
Speaker 12: do think he was playing through injuries last year. He

1678
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 12: joined a team at mid season at thirty years old.

1679
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 12: He's had a very up and down career. Last year

1680
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 12: a bit of a down year. I think betting on

1681
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 12: a rebound from Amari Cooper is a smart investment. So

1682
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 12: maybe he doesn't quite get Devonte Adams money going into

1683
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 12: the season, but I think he can be a very

1684
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 12: similar type of player, a quality number two receiver. I

1685
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 12: think he stands out among that group as a difference maker.

1686
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 12: I would slack cup in probably to the back end

1687
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 12: of that group.

1688
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, having to come in late to a team that

1689
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: was already on a run, and have to imagine Amrio

1690
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,560
Speaker 1: would have a better opportunity with a team where a

1691
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: quarterback knows where he's going to be and they're on

1692
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: the same page, with a full offseason to work out.

1693
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: I'll offer a take, Greg because I don't get a

1694
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: chance to do too many. If Drake Greenlaw doesn't tear

1695
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: his achilles on the way back to the field of

1696
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, hang on, they beat the Kansas City

1697
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: chiefs well Ian reporting that the Broncos expected to sign

1698
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: him three year deal worth thirty five million dollars. What's

1699
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:54,919
Speaker 1: your thought on Drake, I mean, first.

1700
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 12: Of all, it's been my career a dream to be

1701
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 12: part of Ian Rappaport breaking news segment. I'm the first

1702
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 12: that gets to talk about green Law here. I love

1703
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 12: this move Greenlat First of all, you put only three

1704
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 12: quarters on film last year. They were three of the

1705
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,560
Speaker 12: most electric quarters I've seen from a linebacker in a

1706
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 12: long time. That made me think, Okay, he's going to recover. Well,

1707
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 12: you look at what the Broncos did this day, adding

1708
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 12: two former forty nine ers and Hufunga and green Law's

1709
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 12: going to totally change the aggression of a defense that

1710
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 12: already has a great attitude and is terrific. So they're

1711
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 12: one of the best defenses in the league. And then Patrick,

1712
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 12: you look at who the forty nine ers have lost.

1713
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 12: We started last week right with Deebo, Samuel correct Aaron Banks.

1714
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 12: I'm a little surprise he got that much money. But

1715
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 12: top guard on the market, Hufunga and green Law. We

1716
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 12: just meant to two defensive you know, Lynch pins for

1717
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 12: that team. Elijah Mitchell is no longer on that team.

1718
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 12: Tarvarius Ward was one of the best cornerbacks in the

1719
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 12: league when they made that Super Bowl run. That's all

1720
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 12: just from today and Deebo last week. That has a

1721
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,600
Speaker 12: lot of talent leaving San Francisco.

1722
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: Also, they're back up to Trent Williams say as well,

1723
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: so a big departure in the Bay Area. We're always

1724
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 1: great to have the addition of Greg Rosenthal. You can

01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Seventy million of that guaranteed for the

1731
