1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast has problems, but Free Agency

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: a Welcome back to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hanss and I am

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: joined by room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenhal. What top boys in oh emergency podcast?

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Emergency podcast? Why? Because we're supposed to come back Wednesday,

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: because we did a show yesterday. I hope you listened

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: to it, very important that you listen to it. Um.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: But then, like of the essential free agent, Greg, would

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: you mind sitting down? You know you can make us

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: all uncomfortable. You can continue with the show and not

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: even alert the listeners to me putting on the television.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Well you Mark was was definitely stunned by it, and

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: then I caught my attention Greg's standing up walking around.

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: It was a real rapport builder. Wednesday at one pm.

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: As we said, uh and as you probably know, is

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: the official starter free Agency. But everybody's coming off the

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: board unofficially, unofficially official. And that's why even though this

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a day off for the podcast,

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: no days, all no days, all, no days, all history

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: days all. Weirdly, one of the low moments of the

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: Patriots dynasty, even though it came during a celebration. So

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: what is today's show, today's emergency podcast? Figure it out?

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you dense, bro? We're gonna go

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: through all the all those signings, including the quarterback market,

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: which um has fallen. The domino's fell quickly and maybe

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: not the first domino you expected to fall. But everything

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: is pretty much coming into focus now. Uh So let's

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: get into it. Let's go. We'll just call it the

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Big News Rundown, Big old News right now. You're good, Greg,

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping we get some more breaking news during

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the show. Maybe, I mean, I would assume we do

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: get it. Things gonna are we are we taping again tomorrow?

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: Of course, like week tomorrow is the so called free

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: agency frenzy. They're only off by roughly. So let's start

36
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, because it is good to be a quarterback,

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: especially one that's like top fifteen, top sixteen in the league.

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins signs or is likely to sign, or has

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: agreed to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. The favorite going

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: into this week is the team that comes out with

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins a deal. We're three years that includes approximately

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: eighty six million, and this is what makes it a

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: historic deal in the NFL. All of that money guaranteed

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: and his per year average salary of twenty seven point

45
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: five million just tops Jimmy Garoppolo, making Kirk Cousins the

46
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: most uh the highest paid player in the history of

47
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the NFL for the time being. Uh. Mark will start

48
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: with you on this. You were up early before the

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: sun rose writing about kirk Cousins picking his new home.

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I think the unprecedented nature of the contract mirrors the

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: unprecedented nature of the situation, that it's so rare that

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: you get this type of player that goes to market,

53
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: that it was the only way to compete for him,

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: whether you whether you were the Vikings or the Jets

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: with the most money, and they talked about the Jets

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: offering more so. Kirk Cousins had obviously a preference here

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: and it started out as Hey, we don't know, this

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: might be what happens. And then hour later, as every

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: other team circles the wagons and we'll get to it,

60
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: starts finding out other quarterback situations, barrying something stunning. Kirk

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Cousins has essentially been handed to the Vikings and I

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: and we talked about this yesterday and we didn't know

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: who he was going to visit first, but had he

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: gone to the Jets, they could not let him out

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: of the building. And that's essentially what the Vikings were given,

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: that privilege to go first and to lure him in

67
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: and to keep him. What if he changed his mind,

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: but he could not let go because every every other

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: team it's basically starting to move on unless the Jets

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: did it because he keeps He's made it clear to

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the reporters at least that he wants to get the

72
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: feel of it and have dinner and do the whole

73
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: thing and feel good about it. But all the other

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: teams have essentially said, well, we can't wait around. It

75
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: seems like nonsense. Do you think there's any chance though

76
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: that Do you feel like the Jets acted too quickly

77
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: and finding Plan B or is it just that this

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: is your They haven't officially done anything either, so they

79
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: could always be be there and in theory before before Wednesday.

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: And it's worth noting it's not gonna happen with cousins,

81
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't think, but it's worth noting that multiple times

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: in this free agency era, we have reported on agreed contracts,

83
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: and in that time before free agency actually starts, another

84
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: team says, actually, will you take way more money? Please

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: come with us, and the guy changes his mind. It's happened,

86
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: but it would be insane. It's probably not gonna happen

87
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: because Ian Rap reports reporting now that the Jets, who

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: are the only logical team left in the race, are

89
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: negotiating with Teddy Teddy, Bridgewater and West. I know you

90
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: are a big Kirk Cousins fan. I immediately pivoted. I

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: had my premonition about hugging Kirk Cousins. Apparently that doesn't

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: always check out. But I immediately pivoted into a conversation

93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: with Keith Hansas about how this is we dodged a

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: bullet here and now what we're gonna do is we're

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna take all this money, put it elsewhere and go

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: get a quarterback that will be a star for fifteen years.

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Are the Vikings going to Are they a better team though?

98
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: In your opinion, yes, absolutely? I think uh Kirk Cousins

99
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: over what what he's The improvement he's shown over the

100
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years has really impressed me. I've changed

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: my opinion on him and Sam Bradford as much as

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: any two quarterbacks in the league. And it's both of

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: their ability to stand in in the face of pressure

104
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and and make throws. And Kirk Cousins did that last

105
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: year with some pretty poor surrounding talent. I love the fit,

106
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: he's durable, he's productive. This team is ready to go.

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, Greg as if this deal wasn't

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: already arranged three weeks ago, when Mike Zimmer's up in

109
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: front of everybody at the combine throwing case Keenum under

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the bus saying oh, he's never had a year like

111
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: this before, or saying we don't really you know, Sam

112
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Bradford this and that Teddy like they didn't know this

113
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: deal was already gonna happen, But then we do. We

114
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: have to suppose that the Jets knew this was in

115
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: place too, because the Jets, I mean, whether it came

116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: from inside the team or not, the cur made it

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: sound like they wanted kirk Cousins more more than three

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. The Cardinals were hopeful as of twenty four

119
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: hours ago, so they didn't know the broncos Ian uh

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: and Mike Garret Folo reported they wanted Kirk Cousins. They

121
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: never seemed like they were all in. They they realized

122
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna be at their price, and that he

123
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: that the Broncos weren't necessarily their first choice. And that's

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: why that's great. John Elway can you know, convince a

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer like Peyton many But ultimately it's up

126
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: to up to the players, and there's a million factors.

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pressure on John d Filippo, I

128
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: think to construct the right offense around Kirk Cousins. He's

129
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: got two great receivers, a good offensive line, a good

130
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: running back. There's a lot to work with. But I

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: think Cousins had good coordinators in Washington that helped hide

132
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: some of his flaws because he's not a totally complete quarterback.

133
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: He's not great improvising after a play breaks down. He

134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a monster army can certainly get it down

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the field. And so it's on de Filippo and kind

136
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: of a new group to to make an offense around Cousins.

137
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: And the expectations will be that they need to go

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. This what they are, but they

139
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: would have been a bigger challenge to construct an offense

140
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: around lesser, and that's why, that's why it makes sense.

141
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: It makes sense for Cousins. It's just this, it's crazy

142
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: to me. It's not crazy to me, but a top

143
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: ten quarter not necessarily a top ten quarterback. I thought

144
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: he might get even more money than this. He and

145
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: it it does. It makes sense for Cousins. He's thirty

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: years old, three year deal with a team that's ready

147
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to win in the Vikings. He could have went to

148
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the Jets for more money, but the Jets are probably

149
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: a three year project. And then it just it lined

150
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: up well. So it all makes sense. But we'll see now,

151
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: because I was texting with a Vikings fan buddy who said, well,

152
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: we'll see if they're actually better, because it's gonna be

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: hard for Cousins to have the year case Kingdom had

154
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: last year. That was a special season in Minnesota and

155
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't get over them. Cousins has to be at

156
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: least that good, you'd think, for them to take the

157
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: next step. So there's a lot of pressure on him too.

158
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a lot of money, and it does.

159
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: It should be pointed out before we move on, because

160
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: we've gotta keep moving that fully guaranteed deal can change

161
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the landscape in the NFL, potentially for players, quarterbacks especially.

162
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: I heard someone say out there that watch Aaron Rodgers

163
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 1: get three for one hundred guaranteed. This is baseball stuff

164
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: now that never was connected to the NFL. So Cousins

165
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think there was a player in

166
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, Doug Baldwin Jr. Said Kirk Cousins

167
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: is a hero for what he did. He he sat

168
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: it out for he waited out two years and then

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: did something that no one ever did before, and it

170
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: could open the gates for other people. I don't think

171
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: other positions are going to have that kind of leverage. Really,

172
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: the leverage is that it's only three years and he

173
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: gets the max out his money and go back into

174
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: free agency again in three years because the Dominican sue

175
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: just got sixty million guaranteed over three years, and then

176
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: you get cut. Now the team has no option to

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: keep him after three years, and he can go. He'll

178
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: get paid a bigger contract than three years. Kirk has

179
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: explaining to do though, because his sister, who lives in

180
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Arizona and the Phoenix area, didn't choose to go you're

181
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: getting paid. You can probably fly your sister or whatever

182
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: she like a house in Minnesota, fire a jet to fly.

183
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Moving on, Drew Brees not going anywhere. Despite the report

184
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: on Monday that the Vikings, uh, we're kicking the tires

185
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: on the thirty nine year old future Hall of Famer,

186
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: the Saints and Breeze do what everyone expected, which was

187
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: sit down and get it done. The team on Tuesday

188
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: UH struck a two year deal with the quarterback worth

189
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: fifty million. This one includes twenty seven million and guarantees.

190
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: I guess when you're almost four to you can't pull

191
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: that same type of leverage the thirty year old is does.

192
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: But still uh, Drew Brees did very well for himself.

193
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Breeze was number two on our top one on one list.

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley rough rough twenty four hours for the corner

195
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: of Twitter, who insisted NFL players will never take less

196
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: than maximum value on a contract. Drew Brees, reportedly by

197
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Mike Triplet of ESPN dot Com, had another offer that

198
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: was more than sixty million guaranteed over two years. I

199
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: want to know who that is. It's either the Jets

200
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: or the Vikings. I would Vikings, but he took thirty

201
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: three less million guaranteed. He got twenty seven million guaranteed,

202
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: and he was offered sixty million guaranteed according to this report.

203
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: So that is a whopping thirty three million dollars he's

204
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: passing up in guarantee according to the reports. Yeah, and

205
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: so that report Breeze unlike you know, you know, calling

206
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,479
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins a hero for his actions. Breeze outwardly apologized

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: to other players for accepting this deal, and he apologized

208
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: to his agent because as an NFL p A voice, no,

209
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sit this one out, buddy. This was not

210
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: how you do it. Well, they so that's a very

211
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: different deal. They still used the agent who's Tom Condon,

212
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: who got Sam Bradford paid, has gotten Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford,

213
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks paid. They still used re leverage possible

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: to get the Saints to pay more money than they

215
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,119
Speaker 1: were willing to pay. Initially that the Saints were reportedly

216
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: steadfast and not paying Breeze more money than he made

217
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: last year, where it was twenty four and a half million,

218
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: and they got him over that that hurdle. That seemed crazy,

219
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: that that was their opinion. We heard all these reports.

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna take twenty to twenty five, he gets more

221
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: start building the statue. Now, I mean, you know why

222
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: even and why wait? Why way? And Drew Brees knows

223
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. He knows how to massage the message.

224
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: Drew just wants to make sure he has the biggest

225
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: statue outside the Super Dome. Oh, I left thirty three

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: mill on the table because I lock it down by

227
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: the Bayou. And I'm just a normal guy. I'm cool. Um,

228
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: That's that's what it's all about. He wants a bigger

229
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: statue than his buddy. He wants to win a Super Bowl,

230
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: another super Bowl. You're gonna went to Minnesota hypothetically and

231
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: had just as gonna change about the Kobe Fleaner statue.

232
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: That's gonna be sizey, that's gonna get torn down like

233
00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: the Confederate statues in New Orleans. So they're gonna build it.

234
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: And then the facts that happened in the news guys did.

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: But you're presupposing that a Case Keen or a Kobe

236
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: Fleaner statue will be erected er to a historical wrong.

237
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: So okay, okay, I mean it's definitely not at the

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: same level, but signing Kobe Fleaner was a historical wrong.

239
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: Moving on another quarterback move, this was actually, well, that's

240
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: fair the first quarterback domino to fall and it happened

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Case Keenum Uh is

242
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: going to sign with the Denver Broncos. So John Elway,

243
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: um who in the very beginning everyone connected the Broncos

244
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins, but it became very clear that Uh,

245
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos were just another player, not the lead dog.

246
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: So what does he do? He pivots and and instead

247
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: of waiting around, goes and gets Case Keenum Uh. And

248
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: Keenum was number eight on our top one on one list,

249
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: and he also is coming off a career year. But um, Greg,

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: do you think Case Keenum will be able to match

251
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: what he did last year in Denver? No, because the

252
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is gonna be worse, the running game will

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: probably be worse. The receivers are certainly talented in Denver,

254
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: and the defense is fine. But I don't really expect

255
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: Case Keenum to play that well maybe ever again, because

256
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: I think that was a magical season where a lot

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: of things came together. He makes the Broncos better but

258
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to prevent them from going

259
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: after a quarterback. Maybe with the fifth overall pick, it

260
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: it shouldn't. At least that would give him. He would

261
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: be playing in front of two first round picks, which

262
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: is unusual. I think he might have been planned c

263
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: in Denver. I think ty according to Gara Folo, Tyrod

264
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: Taylor might have been planned being. The Browns jumped in

265
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: on that and Cousins was planned a and they wanted

266
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: to make sure at least they got a guy they

267
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: were comfortable with. That was with Gary Kubiak. I don't

268
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't love this deal from no. This is a

269
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,119
Speaker 1: rough day for Broncos fans when you spent all offseason

270
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: hearing your team's players pitch wu at Kirk Cousins from

271
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: Von Miller to keep to leave too, How Brandon Marshall,

272
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: all these guys publicly saying how much they want Kirk Cousins,

273
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: who would have been in an upgrade now. Maybe case

274
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Keenum is more reliable than Trevor Simeon, more healthy than

275
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon. Nobody at this time last year was saying

276
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Case Keenum is a better quarterback than Trevor Simeon. No,

277
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: And we spent all last offseason hearing a lot of

278
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: hot air out of that organization about how much confidence

279
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: there was in Trevor Simeon and to the point where

280
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: it was just becoming a little absurd on our network.

281
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: And we're about to enter into that with Case Keenum

282
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: almost seamlessly. And it's not to take anything away from

283
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: what Keenum did last year, but Greg is right the

284
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: idea you're gonna step in and duplicate that campaign two

285
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: years in a row. No, he's the one contract that

286
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been reported though, and that usually means it's not

287
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: very good for for the player. So if ultimately they

288
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: couldn't get Kirk Cousins because they didn't want to pay

289
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: that or Cousins didn't want to go there, and we

290
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: find out this deal is pretty low and it's just

291
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: a one year deal, which is basically what I expect

292
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: maybe in the anywhere from fourteen to seventeen million. I mean,

293
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: it's fine, they had to do something. What I mean like,

294
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't kill them for that. It's just not exciting.

295
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought when I heard this deal

296
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: was there obviously going quarterback at number five over all

297
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: now because you don't have luxury of going offensive line

298
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: with that pick. Because case keenom Is is not a

299
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: reliable franchise quarterback, the top of this quarterback of this

300
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: draft class. It's gonna be crazy now because the Broncos

301
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: are still gonna be players. The Jets now are gonna

302
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: be something close to a desperate player at this point,

303
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: Big mc now needs to get a young quarter and

304
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are trying to trade. How have moved to twelve?

305
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I could see the Bills getting to number three. Someone's

306
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna trade with the Cults, is my is my guests,

307
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: because someone's gonna blow the Cults way unless the Cults

308
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: are absolutely love with this Chub guy or somebody else,

309
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and it won't move. But and then not to come

310
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: back to the Jets, Dan, I tell me too. But

311
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: but the one thing that some of these other teams

312
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: have done who need quarterbacks is over the past couple

313
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: of seasons effectively stock pit stockpile draft picks. And the

314
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: Jets do not have that ammunition. They had money, right,

315
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: they don't have ammunition. And that's why, Yeah, I think

316
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: that's why their plan A was Cousins, because it's set

317
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: up better for where they were, but they're still at six,

318
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: which is not a terrible place they could if you're

319
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: the Browns at four, or if you're the Colts at three,

320
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: if you have a chance of trade back with the Jets,

321
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: you're still sitting at six, and you can still get

322
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: somebody you really want. If you trade back with the Bills,

323
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: you might get a little bit more of a haul,

324
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: but you gotta wait. So it's gonna be fascinating how

325
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: it plays out. It's gonna be a game of musical chairs.

326
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: There's four top names in the quarterback market in the draft,

327
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: and there are what five teams that really need a quarterback. So, uh,

328
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: somebody screwed probably will be the Jets. That's my proo.

329
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: I know how. I'll give you another contender. I know

330
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: how this s works. Moving on, if the Browns cannot

331
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: screw them, they might, well they have to really try.

332
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: They'll take a running back and then trade down to twelve,

333
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: and even Lamar Jackson will get picked ahead of them,

334
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: and they'll wind up with a right tackle and and

335
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: cut to the Hugh Jackson press conference saying that Tyrod

336
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: Taylor is moving down beneath his feet. Uh, don't think

337
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: will happen. Another quarterback comes off the board in another

338
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Sandwich prop victory for the old Zeuser. Sam Bradford uh

339
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: will sign with the Arizona Cardinals a one year, twenty

340
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. And I'm not saying that's a contract

341
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, and I understand why Bradford can command

342
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: command that, but has any player in the history of

343
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: the NFL made more money for doing less than Sam Bradford?

344
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: And I like Sam Bradford as a player, but this

345
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: guy is making bag his whole career. What has he done.

346
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna turn out to be one of

347
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: those phony deals where it's really one for fifteen because

348
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: that's what's guaranteed, and then he's getting that's a lot,

349
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: that's that's where your alternative. That's the price. I think

350
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: that's about what Keenum will get. That's kind of the

351
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: price for the for the quarterback. That's a short term solution.

352
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: And to me, he's the he's the biggest boomer bust

353
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: guy of all these quarterbacks. Yes, because yes, because I

354
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: think if he's actually healthy, he's ready to go and

355
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: he could be an average to above average starter right now.

356
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: But there's absolutely no way to tell what his degenerative

357
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: knee is going to do. I can't disagree with that,

358
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: but if your alternatives are Mike Glennon and A J. McCarron,

359
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: pay him as much as it takes to get him

360
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: in there, especially when this is allegedly Larry fitzgerald swan song.

361
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to watch Larry Fitzgerald catching passes

362
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: from Mike Glenning for an entire season. They're not. They've

363
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: said for months we're gonna get quarterbacks in multiple ways

364
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: or another one of those draft eligibles. Just a note, Dan,

365
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: you did get your proposition right. Uh. The sandwich prop

366
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: which said that the Cardinals would sign a two thousand

367
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: and seventeen Vikings quarterback, however, did not entice anyone to

368
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: take you up as I didn't make sandwiches. But I

369
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: have a chance to get three props right that will

370
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: get to that a little later. Is unprecedented. It's kind

371
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: of like getting all guaranteed money. One nice thing on

372
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: this deal. The Cardinals can't be done yet. Their offensive

373
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: line was terrible last year. Beyond Larry Fitzgerald all they

374
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: have his question marks at wide receiver. He's not exactly

375
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: set up for success there, No, not at all. I mean,

376
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: putting that line is gonna be trouble whoever put it

377
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: this way, whoever else gets signed, whether it's Mike Lennon

378
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: or a quarterback that gets drafted in the first or

379
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: second round, or whatever they do, it's probably gonna see

380
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: some time next season, Josh Allen, starting by week five

381
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: in Arizona. That's your quarterback update the musical chairs. Uh.

382
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Let's move on now to the Kansas City Chiefs, who

383
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: continue to act aggressively following their one and done playoff

384
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: out stair. They have a new quarterback, of course, in

385
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: uh Patrick Mahomes uh. And now they add another weapon

386
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: in the name of Sammy Watkins heading to the Chiefs

387
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: on a three year deal. Uh. This is a big one.

388
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: This is a whopper. We talked about this coming into

389
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: a heading into free agency, Mark, would Sammy clean up

390
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: again despite another guy that doesn't have a huge track

391
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: record production, but he got a monster deal expected to

392
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: be worth uh up to forty eight million with thirty

393
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: million guaranteed at signing per rap sheet. Do you like

394
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: this move, Mark, Well, I mean I like the idea

395
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs the Chiefs telecast this at the combine

396
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: that they were absolutely all in on adding starting wide

397
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: receiver talent to pair with Tyreek Hill. They rap Sheet

398
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: had an interesting report how at the combine people were

399
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: coming up to me, like, have you watched like this

400
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: film that Chief's officials are showing of Patrick Mahomes various

401
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: practice stuff that they've seen behind They are all in

402
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes and they are I like teams when

403
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: you were whether it's Rabinsky in Chicago or whether it's

404
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: Mahomes in Kansas City, where you're gonna give like they

405
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: did to Carson Wentz last year, everything you possibly can

406
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: to make him successful, and they prided him away from

407
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: the Rams. Why not? And it's to me, Sammy Watkins

408
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: is a guy who's now making money, and honest, he's

409
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: on his third team in twelve months. He's not my

410
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: favorite receiver on the planet. But if he if he

411
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: stays healthy, why up. I like the fact that despite

412
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: the money, he's part of a greater hole. He's not

413
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: the focus of the offense. When you have Tyree Hill

414
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelsey, you're only gonna produce

415
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: so much and you're only gonna be counted on to

416
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: get eight or nine targets in a game so often

417
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be every game. So that's a great

418
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: fit for him. And there are a lot of people

419
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: that say he was open all the time last year

420
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: and the Rams couldn't get him the ball. He's obviously talented.

421
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: And now this is a team in the Chiefs that

422
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: a year ago, at this time, we were annoyed how

423
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: much they were in prime time and we ended up

424
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: being a little wrong because they were. They were very

425
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: entertaining I would see in their games. But now put

426
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: them on all the prime time ma homes and this crew.

427
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: Sign me up. I mean, I'm looking forward to this team.

428
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: It was just a few years ago we were bemoaning

429
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: the lack of playmakers there. He kept hearing that stat

430
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs wide receivers and no touchdowns. Yeah, zero

431
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: touch Yeah, the Fitzpatrick Harvard thing of that year. And

432
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: now look at the speed they have Hill Watkins, Chris Conley,

433
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey is one of the fastest tight ends. It's a

434
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: lot to deal with, and and Andy Reid calling the shots.

435
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: Their their offense different this year. They are very they're

436
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: very exciting, team. I was gonna say they could be

437
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a buzzy super Bowl team, but you have no idea

438
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: how the quarterback is going to perform. We just know

439
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: that everyone thinks the world of him. I also don't

440
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: have much faith in their defense as it stands, and

441
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where if they're gonna spend on their

442
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: deep you don't have any players right Anthony Hitchens has

443
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: joined the defense. The Chief's planned to sign the former

444
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys linebacker to a deal worth nine million per season,

445
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: per rap sheet and Tom Pelisero that was the number

446
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: fifty uh player in your free agency top one on one,

447
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: So you guys obviously are not in love with him

448
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: down on the lab, but it's another name in that day. Well,

449
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: they've now got two inside linebackers who are prototypical run

450
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: stuffers and have questionable pass coverage skills, and him and

451
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: Reggie Ragland. So I don't know how great do I

452
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: fit it is. I guess Bob Sutton knows a lot

453
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: more about that than I did. Moving on, the Chicago

454
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: Bears have had a whole at wide receiver since Alshan

455
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: Jeffrey left town. They have now filled that hole with

456
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson was signed a three year deal worth forty

457
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: two million roughly twenty five million guaranteed. Good money uh

458
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: that from rap sheet for the man that was number

459
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: three in the top one oh one uh and Greg

460
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson uh towards eights a cl in the first

461
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: game of the season. Um in team did not have

462
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: a good steen statistically, so to get a multi year

463
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: contract with guaranteed uh, that's pretty good business for him.

464
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: The receiver's got paid in this market, even if you

465
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: are coming off a down year like Watkins or an

466
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: a c L like Robinson. And suddenly Mitchell Trabisky looks

467
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: like he has a fun group of weapons. You add

468
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: tight end Trey Burton. Okay, that that's fun. You have

469
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: um Robinson in place, and then we also have some

470
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: breaking news in the mix and the Bears a great

471
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: in terms with Taylor Gabriel live on the show Wow.

472
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: At least, at least the Bears will be a little

473
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: more watchable. They got Matt Naggy, they'll get three primetime

474
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: games before October three to six primetime games two thousand

475
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and eighteens Jared Goff. Mitch Trabinsky is the big winner

476
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: of free agency here. Get Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel now

477
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: in the hands of an offensive mine who knows how

478
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: to use him after Steve sarkisium win a whole year

479
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: without getting him the ball. H I like this game,

480
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: like this, this team shaping up. How they really have

481
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: followed this Rams model. They got rid of the older

482
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: coach that was defensive minded, They brought in an offenseive,

483
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: offensive minded guy. Now they're building around the quarterback. Why not?

484
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: It feels it's it's a sensical model. You had to.

485
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean their offense and they were they were injured

486
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: last year too, but they were impossible to watch outside

487
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: of the running back group. And Strabiski was held hostage

488
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: by by that that group of skill position players. So

489
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: what else do you do with the second year quarterback?

490
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: And I think the Rams and the Chiefs are having

491
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: an impact on the league. And the Eagles like these

492
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: are all spread them out fast players in space, ball

493
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: down the field, just in shotgun, throw the ball. You

494
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: suddenly look at the Bears. There are a lot like

495
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: the Chiefs last year. You have. You have Gabriel and

496
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: Robinson as the speed guys on the outside, Burton as

497
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: the move to end. You have Tarik Cohen who can

498
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: do some similar things as Tyreek Hill and also is

499
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: a very dynamic running back. And and you have a

500
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: running back in Jordan Jordan Howard. I mean this, this

501
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun team to watch. Another team

502
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: that will be fun to watch always are with Aaron

503
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers involved, but they continue to look for a long

504
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: term solution to tight end and Jimmy Graham Uh, formerly

505
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks, UH is now a Packer. He agreed

506
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: to a three year contract to join Green Bay. A

507
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise because earlier Uh Tuesday, it seemed

508
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: like the reunion with the Saints was gonna happen. But

509
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: apparently those talks broke down and Green Bay and Goody

510
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: pounced bringing in Graham, thirty one years old. We've talked

511
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: about him UH a lot on the show, how he's

512
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: not the same guy anymore, but perhaps wes Uh. He

513
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: gives them obviously a big red zone threat now, a

514
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: guy that still finds the end zone. But maybe don't

515
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: expect them to average fifteen yards to catch this year. Yeah,

516
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: Miam McCarthy has spoken several times in the last couple

517
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: of years about the need on that team for a

518
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: seam stretching tight end and a red zone threat. They

519
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: never really had one. They tried to get that with

520
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett. Uh. I think Jimmy Graham still has enough

521
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: left in the tank to play that role. And I'd

522
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: love to see Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Graham on the

523
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: same page. That would be nice. Well, if he ever

524
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: is gonna do it, it's gonna be with Aaron Rodgers

525
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: or Drew Brees where the Saints were reportedly interested. And

526
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: now the Saints, uh, don't end up getting Jimmy Graham back.

527
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm kind of glad he's not going back

528
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: to the Saints. Yeah, I didn't need to see that.

529
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: It didn't end. It ended a little bit ugly, and like,

530
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,239
Speaker 1: let's put him in Green Bay and let's have one

531
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: of these tight ends work out in Green Bay and

532
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: give Aaron Rodgers something that you know, twenty other quarterbacks have.

533
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: It's true when you can finally, you know, get Graham

534
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: to the offensive fire show that Joe Philbin brings. You

535
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: gotta do it down on the Packers offense. Now, Now

536
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: I love Aaron Rodgers. I mean, by the way, I'm

537
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: Philip Philibin was part of that offense for years. I'm

538
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: in Miami and I'm still down on their coaching. I

539
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: saw Joey Fibbs in the hallway at the combine, just

540
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: like after he walked by, and I looked out at

541
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: his shoes and I got perfectly tied. Um. I smile

542
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: because joe Fieldman just it's kind of funny to me survivor. Um.

543
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: So Jimmy Graham, and yeah, it's weird. Aaron Rodgers, who

544
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. I feel like

545
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: he's been dancing around like a tight end he could

546
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: count on for years. Jared Cook was almost that guy.

547
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Martell's Bennett should have been that guy. He's not that

548
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: guy now. Jimmy Graham is potentially a guy now. Packers

549
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: how to make a move. They decided, and this one

550
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: surprises me. Jordy Nelson. Jordy Nelson has been shown the door. UH. Nelson,

551
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: who of course for years, was a stud Aaron Rodgers

552
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: favorite UH target, a guy that won a Super Bowl

553
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, but he started to slow down West.

554
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: It seemed that he had slowed down, but at the

555
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: same time, he didn't really crater until Aaron Rodgers exited

556
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: the team last year to injury. I thought, we're gonna

557
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: get a chance to see if they get the magic back,

558
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: but the Packers decide they gotta move. Yeah, It's it's

559
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: amazing how fast things change in the NFL. Was just

560
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: two years ago, two thousand and sixteen, he led to

561
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: the NFL and touchdowns. That was coming off the a

562
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: c l injury. He wasn't You could tell he wasn't

563
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: as fast anymore, even though they had a nice connection

564
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: in the red zone um and and that caught up

565
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: to him last year when it was easy to see

566
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: earlier in the season that Davante Adams had already replaced

567
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: him as the number one receiver. I think choosing Randall

568
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: Cobb over Jordy Nelson makes sense to me. Choosing uh

569
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: Brian Boulaga, who who was reportedly you know, could be

570
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: asked to take a pay cut over Jordy Nelson makes

571
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: sense to me. Like there, there are tough decisions, but

572
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: I don't think Aaron Rodgers gonna be happy. Aaron Rodgers

573
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: is kind of become a little surly about things going

574
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: on in Green Bay, and I like hearing his voice.

575
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you could even see it today on Twitter,

576
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: he he essentially congratulated Casey Hayward, the cornerback who left town, uh,

577
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: almost calling out the Packers previous regime who just thought

578
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: he was a nickel guy, and then retweeted his teammate

579
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: David Baktari, who said, loyalty is in your actions, not

580
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: in your rhetoric. And I think that's about, you know,

581
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: the Packers being able to keep keep the player. Is

582
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers likes And I'm sure cutting Jordy Nelson

583
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: is not gonna be popular. Sounds like a healthy stew um.

584
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: So there you go to Jordy Nelson arras over uh,

585
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, boys, scientists, I'm down the lap too.

586
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: Moosa beakers around um. Buns of burner turns on everyone

587
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: in a while. Remember that thing, Remember that thing that

588
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: you go to light the bunch of burner to be

589
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah spark, Yeah help you guy. We we

590
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: appreciated the flavored water that you brought down today. I

591
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: mean that's always a good way to enjoy it, ingratiate yourself.

592
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: I put saline drops in it for your um to

593
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: make you have dirheena. Okay, that was weird. That was

594
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I wish the listeners could have seen the strange face

595
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Dan was making that I tried to avoid. Uh so, yeah,

596
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, I know. Yeah. My question was where would

597
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: he fall in your top one o one entering this week?

598
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm currently looking at our list. He's got to be

599
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: like three or four at this point. Yeah, Like if

600
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: now we we're not taking players off, so where does

601
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: updating it with the signings? What a scrap heap? I

602
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: would put him above Mike Wallace, So that's what we're

603
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: talking in the early sixties. Yeah, I was thinking a

604
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: little lower, but not much, probably around seventies, so the

605
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: happy medium might be. And still it feels like the

606
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: name alone will get people to come after him. Times

607
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: of Mark. I think he's fine. He's a multi directing

608
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: that at Mark specifically, Oh well, you're the one that

609
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: he's say. He's trying to make it. You were not

610
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: pointing that at me, Dan. I didn't take it that way,

611
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: all right, Greg's rattle rousing. Mark knows times for buddy,

612
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: it's coming for you as well. Andrew Norwell, let's move on, boy,

613
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: and he said times coming for you too, Big boys

614
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: saying cute boy. Cute boy. Little cute boy and his

615
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: little blazer over here. Cute boy. That's I thought he'd

616
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: I'll take that. It's a relative of fall out. Greg

617
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: is wearing us. I mean, whenever I can get Cessler

618
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: to call me something. My mom probably did what I

619
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: was for. I'm all in now. That was the effect

620
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: I was going for that Greg wearing a suit. He

621
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: did a network hit that caused us to have to

622
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: wait com dot com, dot com dot com. I'll never

623
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: forget you guys making fun of me. She came out,

624
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: and then I had to explain it to her. She's

625
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: doing a great job this week on airs of network content.

626
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait till Greg has handlers so coming. How

627
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: close are we to handlers for Greg? I mean, I'm

628
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: an NFL dot com is Greg Rosenthal. That's that's a

629
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: long way. Jackson Bill Jaguars have targeted and succeeded successfully

630
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: targeted a big piece in the middle of their offensive line.

631
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Norwell expected to sign with the Jags, according to

632
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: sources and formed of the deal that from rap sheet,

633
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: The deal uh five years and sixty six and a

634
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: half million, thirty million guarantee. That is the leader in

635
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: the clubhouse along with Sammy Watkins for most guaranteed money.

636
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: That is the trifector for the zoos. Do you get it?

637
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: If that whole time? Yeah? So it's well, is it

638
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: the most? No? Not practically, because Sammy Watkins says the most.

639
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: Then no, they both have the most. No one has

640
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: more than them, which means they have the most. Thank

641
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: you for bringing something. Feels like a romantics heavy argument,

642
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: but we know better not to argue with. You always

643
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: have to specify ahead of time. Now, if he made

644
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: if he had twenty nine million guarantss taking in and Stunner, Uh,

645
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: drink some of that's water, greg Um. If he had

646
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine and Watkins had thirty, Yeah, if eight players

647
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: have thirty, do you feel like you in the spirit

648
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: of yourr is it the most? Okay? I mean you

649
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: guys are barking up the wrong tree on this one.

650
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna I agree with. Yeah, I'm not

651
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna fight it because it's bad podcast.

652
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: I think doing. I think it's moving on. So Norwell

653
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: gets that, uh that money as it made sense that

654
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: he would, uh interior alignment, any alignment gets paid and

655
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 1: the Jags though, kind of a surprise team of the

656
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: Giants and uh some other teams were rumored to be

657
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: getting Norwell. So he goes to the Jags. I find

658
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: it really interesting they did not pay Allen Robinson, but

659
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: they decided to pay Undrew Norwell, kind of doubling down

660
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: on the we're a tough running team, Leonard four net.

661
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: That's our that's our m O. But they also give

662
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Mark Easley a very attractive contract four years, thirty eight million,

663
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: including eighteen million guaranteed. My guess is they didn't expect

664
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: the white the secondary wide receiver market to be as

665
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: good as it was, because that's a lot of money

666
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: for markis Lee. When you're letting Allen Robinson walking one

667
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: thing to keep. I've heard this now on Network two,

668
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: over and over. Oh now, the Jags are like dug

669
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: in on being a ground oriented team. Well, okay, not

670
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: surprising to begin with, But isn't a good guard A

671
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: good guard for the most part, isn't this player? I mean,

672
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: he's helps him in the passing game as much as

673
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: he helps them as a as a run team. I

674
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: don't think people, I don't think people are paying any

675
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: guard that much money too for pass protection, UK they're

676
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: paying them for the running just I don't think it

677
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: means means that they're simply a one dimensional football team

678
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: based on something, you know, getting offensive line help. Moving

679
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: on another quarterback, a bit of quarterback news. Josh McCown

680
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: is back with the Jets. Agrees to a one year

681
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: deal with the team, So that makes a lot of

682
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: sense for both sides. He had a great year in

683
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: New York before suffering that thumb injury that ended his

684
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: season in December. But he is a perfect bridge slash

685
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: mentor guy, so don't expect don't don't take that to me.

686
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: And Teddy Bridgewater is no longer in the picture. They

687
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: could end up with both those guys and draft a quarterback.

688
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: They're doing a complete reboot at quarterback. Mccount back with

689
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: the Jets, but this feels like a move to allow

690
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: the Jets a lot more options in the draft. When

691
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: I was writing up the Teddy Bridgewater piece, I said,

692
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: don't be surprised, since he's only twenty five years old

693
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: in an injury risk if they still sign McCown to

694
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: go with him. McCown probably enters Week one as a starter.

695
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: While I figure out who ted Teddy Bridgewater is Like,

696
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: I like that trifecta compared to some others, but it's

697
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: still a little confusing in New York and just with

698
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator to deal with Teddy Bridgewater McCown

699
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: in a number five overall pick. That's I think when

700
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: you signed Bridgewater to go with McCown. To me, Bridgewater

701
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: looks like the quarterback of the future and they don't

702
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: have to go first round quarterback um. And it should

703
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: be stated if they end up getting Bridgewater as well

704
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: and as expected potentially take a quarterback, it looks like

705
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: the end for Christian Hackerburg now officially if they if

706
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: they add another quarterback after McCown before the draft. Moving on,

707
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson, UH he he is a nice player coming

708
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: out of the Seahawks, nice downfield threat. He signs a

709
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: deal with the Washington Redskins, A nice deal for him,

710
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: five for forty with twenty and guarantees. According to Mike

711
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: Garret Folo uh and Richardson was ranked number forty one

712
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: in our Top one on one. UH. Greg didn't work

713
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: out Trell prior last year. Now they're gonna try with Richardson.

714
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Stretching that field. Interesting offense was Alex Smith throwing to

715
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: him and Josh Dotson. Paul Richardson could be the third

716
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: Seattle receiver to do better away from the Seahawks than

717
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: they were in Seattle. Golden Tate really has had a

718
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: nice career. Leaving Seattle. Jermaine curse suddenly became more productive.

719
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: I think Richardson has a lot of talent and and

720
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: maybe they can on tap it in Washington. Uh. Moving on,

721
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are making moves. First of all, Kyle

722
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Williams UH is sticking around one year, six million dollar deal.

723
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: Originally selected in the fifth round of the two thousand

724
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: six NFL Draft, he is a beloved figure in western

725
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: New York, so he comes back for another year. Last

726
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: year was the first year he ever made the playoffs.

727
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: You may remember that mark heartwarming video after the Andy

728
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Dalton touchdown pass of Kyle Williams hugging his son. Nice

729
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: little moment in Bill's history. Uh, and he's back for

730
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: at least one more year. It was I mean, I

731
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: think they they weren't sure they're going to get him back.

732
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: Star loot to Lay is also there as well. They

733
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: brought him on La La. However, you say his name

734
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I think what I think that

735
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: this this is one of the free agency fund fits

736
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: star to the Bills that Greg and I in our

737
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: quarter Bangers that we combined on to write an half banger.

738
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: H was we nailed it in that because of the

739
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott Carolina Panthers buffer here that was you. I

740
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: like to give team credit. Five year deal with the Bills,

741
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: So they looked pretty good up front. If I'm a

742
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: Bill's faan, I'm a little annoyed about their team. Right,

743
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: they have a lot else to do. Let's see what

744
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: they if they come out of it with a quarterback.

745
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: Everybody's obsessed with it. We'll look in the draft, but

746
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: we'll see. Uh Danny Amendola, Oh, Greg, it's over for

747
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: Danny playoff Amendola. He's expected to sign a deal with

748
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Uh NFL Networks Dan Helly reports what

749
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah Breaking News. Helly reports that Emmadela is expected to

750
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: sign with the Dolphins. Uh per a source informed with

751
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: the City wation shrag bomb over a g MF as

752
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: of the deals for two years and we're twelve million,

753
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: eight point to five million guaranteed. Ammadel's thirty two years old.

754
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: Never a guy that was piling up stats in doing them.

755
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: But when uh, the lights came out of January, that

756
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: bro's nails. The Patriots just got worse. You seem only

757
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: slightly stunned that Dan Helli broke accurate news. I'm also

758
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: wondering how many listeners were able to translate what Shrague

759
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: bomb at g n F from Good Morning Football. Anybody

760
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: knows what the Dolphins are doing with the team. I

761
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: know you're impressed. They also got Albert Wilson. It's a

762
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: good thing. They got rid of Jarvis and Landry and

763
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: and and Dominican Sue to bring on board Albert Wilson

764
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: and Danny A. Mendola who doesn't show up until January

765
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins are sitting at home. Don't don't get

766
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: on Albert Wilson just because he has his name. Is

767
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: Albert's not exactly Day one of free agency. Kind of

768
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: Matt Harman one of his one of his favorite players,

769
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: Abert Wilson, kind of like Albert Wilson. But that was

770
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: one of the most surprising deals that he got twenty

771
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: four million over three years and shout out to Danny

772
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: Mendola and Eric Erica tam Posey. Tough day for her

773
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: her favorite player, But what memories we had about thirteen

774
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 1: playoff games over seven yards for Danny Mendola, always better

775
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: in the playoffs than the regular season. I don't know

776
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: if they win those two super Bowls without day. Here's

777
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: the thank you and go get your money and this

778
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: and this is gonna seem like I'm trolling, But in

779
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: no way should you be worried that when the Pockets

780
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: collapsing in a big playoff game next year and Tommy

781
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Boy looks up, he's gonna be looking for Kenny Britt

782
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: to have separation. Not good luck with that. Oh yeah,

783
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean we're they're really gonna be hurting

784
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: with Julian Edelman, Gronkowski, Malcolm Mitchell, Brandon Cooks and whoever else.

785
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, nail, he was Danny playoff Mendola. Yeah,

786
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: how he's got Albert Wilson's the guy you sign as

787
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent, not the guy you give twenty

788
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: million dollars to. It's fair. So you're okay. Oh for Dan,

789
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if Eric is okay. But what's Oh, yeah,

790
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was the drop you were raemantically calling

791
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: for for the last minute. We've been waiting for it.

792
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Why are the inhabitants They are known as the people

793
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: of the Zolac. They're loudish behavior as indigenous to the region.

794
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: I see, I command you to destroy them all as

795
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: you wish, Lord Lord. Yes, how about them apples. I

796
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: don't get your rev no good will hunting. Oh okay,

797
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: yep ha ha ha ha ha, I'll destroy them. I

798
00:40:43,120 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: wish drops there. It does feel like thet an aor

799
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: I know Erica has sent out a number of the

800
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, the wine drinking gifts, and so she's probably

801
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: she is down. But a lot of her into Amundola No,

802
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: was based on him being hot. And he's still hot.

803
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: He'll be in Miami, he'll have that. I didn't really think.

804
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't really change. Uh. So there you go. The

805
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins add some weapons with Jarvis Landry out the door,

806
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: let's see if it works out for him. Uh. And

807
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: Trey Burton, who of course was involved uh with the

808
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: Immortal not quite helmet catch Immortal uh in terms of

809
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: known quantity. Uh, but the Philly Special. But if it

810
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: was equally equally immortal. Would that count? I think it was.

811
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: I think he said better, didn't you. I'll have to

812
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: go back said if it were equally if it were

813
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: equally impactful, if the language is equal, I'm sure it

814
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: would go my way. Trey Burton is a young and

815
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: upcoming tight end. He signs with the Bears, so they

816
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: add another weapon there and not not a bad deal.

817
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Greg right, I don't know the money. Let's see four. Yeah,

818
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: it was part of that whole. He's he's there Travis

819
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: Kelsey in theory. I mean, he's not gonna be Travis Kelsey.

820
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: But we like Tradi that's why we Yeah, we talked

821
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: about him a little bit ago. Let's get current and

822
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: let's get some more breaking. Basad Brilon is signing with

823
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, are top twenty cornerback, top twenty overall

824
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: player on this list, in one of our highest ranked

825
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: quarterback three years, twenty four million, eleven million and guarantees.

826
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: According to Mike Garifolo, I like that, Well, they just

827
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: traded a cornerback, so it's a you can tell Dave

828
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Gentleman is no longer running this team with the trade

829
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: that they made. Sending Worley away with giving up a

830
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: lot of money for a cornerback like this in Breland.

831
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: But I do like the move. I think he's got

832
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: a high ceiling. Greg is all in on Marty Hernie.

833
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler is still waiting to get paid as of

834
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: a target for your Jets potentially. Malcolm Butler and Dion

835
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: Lewis are the types of free agent stories that I'm

836
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: always a little worried about whenever you read those stories

837
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: that there are eight teams interested in Dion Lewis, Like,

838
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: that's always a sign that actually he's not getting as

839
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: much interest maybe as they were hoping. And finally, in

840
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: what is eight got to do for you? The Super

841
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: Bowl champions of Philolph Eagles, Wow, they keep on adding

842
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: to that defensive line. Alodi naga not a Nagata. No,

843
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: it's not a so you're the spelling will throw you off,

844
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: but it's not a right. You're dead on one year deal,

845
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: thirty four years old now. But obviously a nice rotational

846
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: player that they can add to the mix gives them

847
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more depth and the end of an

848
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: era at the tight end position for the Eagles. Trey

849
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: Burton left that's not much of an end of an

850
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: area four year and then he moved on. It's typical

851
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: football stuff. But Brent Selick was a tight end there

852
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: for eleven years and he never missed the game. And um,

853
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: he got old though. He's so we talked about that

854
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: earlier in the show Time Waits for No. One. Thirty

855
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: three years old and after winning a super Bowl. Nice

856
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: way to go out a great career, Brent Sellek with Philly.

857
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: Uh they cut him. So Selik is out the door.

858
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: Uh in Philly after eleven years. Cincinnati boy, maybe he'll

859
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: go close out his career with the Bengals, said, he said,

860
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: he wants to keep playing. Not I mean, I'm looking

861
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: forward to this new Eagles defense that they they revolutionized offense,

862
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: but next year they revolutionized defense. Just eleven defensive lineman

863
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: on the field. That one. What are you gonna do

864
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: to that? Um, lindsay, before we go, let's let's get

865
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Erica Temposy on the phone and see how she's doing

866
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: now that Danny Amadola is gone. Because Uh, no joke,

867
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't make light of it at the

868
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: time because she works so hard and we love Erica.

869
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: But when we went to record our post Super Bowl

870
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: show uh in Minnesota, Erica was sobbing. That's how emotional,

871
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: how emotional Erica gets when talking about her beloved Patriots.

872
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do now is get Erica on

873
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: the phone and hopefully maybe maybe shall be crying. That's

874
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going for here. Hello, hey Erica, Dan

875
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: Hands around the NFL podcast How You Doing? Dan hands

876
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: Is found the NFL podcast, very popular fodcast. I find

Speaker 1: sees you, as Dan hands is from the Around NFL podcast.

879

Speaker 1: I know every single time Erica call you the loose cannon.

880
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: But I don't think you're gonna be wilding out as

881
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: the kids say, your millennials, uh today because Danny playoff

882
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: Amundela is no longer a member of the Patriots. You're

883
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: you're very emotional, I imagine right now, take us through

884
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: your thought process. I mean, okay, so as you liked

885
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter within and so I know you know Eddie

886
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: um took a picture of me at my desk cry spaghetti. Yeah,

887
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, this music, this is tough. Okay, So

888
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: he's getting to that point, like coming off one of

889
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: his best seasons, so this is the last time he'll

890
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: be able to make a contract like that before the

891
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: end of his career. So I'm happy for him in

892
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: that sense. And he's in Miami, which is which is

893
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: great in Miami. Yeah, I mean we did a really

894
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: good job of managing him and keeping him healthy until playoffs.

895
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Dolphins can do that. Yes,

896
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: it's yeah. I liked your contributions and keeping them healthy. Erica,

897
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: thank you. I do what I can. Um, I'm just

898
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: really sad. Yeah, because you never think about this, You'll

899
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: never ever watch a Patriots game and have that that

900
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: gorgeous hunk pulling in catches when it matters most for

901
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's really being a Patriots fan will really

902
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: never be the same. Is that fair to say? Uh,

903
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 1: do have a soul? I mean you still have Julian

904
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: Edelman Erica and I do have a question because I

905
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: thought that we asked this before, that he's the rich

906
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: Man's Danny Amendola. Sure, and like a large part of

907
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: your into Danny a Mendola scenario had to do with

908
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: like his hotness factor, and he's still like hot in Miami. Okay,

909
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: he perhaps hot in Miami, but I can't look at

910
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: him the same like I can't like, I'm very I'm

911
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: I understand that he needed to take you know, he

912
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: couldn't keep taking pay cut after pay cut. But he's

913
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: leaving the Patriots is a fan favorite. Um, I hate him.

914
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: I'm really upset now and I want my faith from him.

915
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: Edelman can come back, which he is going to come back?

916
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: Is he going to be right out of the gate?

917
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: Is as strong as me? And if he goes down, like,

918
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: who's our backup? I'm like kind of sounds like Erica

919
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: thinks the Patriots sort of mismanaged this. Erica just just

920
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: this should make you feel better. You root for the

921
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: team that signs Wes Welker away from Miami in his

922
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: mid twenties, Dolphins fans route for the team that signs

923
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: Amondola away from the Patriots in his mid thirties. That's

924
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: the right. They're not just transactions, Greg, These are people

925
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: and a man that that Eric had fallen in love with.

926
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: And now you know he's down, He's gonna be tanned

927
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: down in Miami. He's gonna actually get hotter. If you're

928
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: into a dude, with a bit of a tan. Let's

929
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: just put it out and just call Spade is out there.

930
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,040

Speaker 1: a super Bowl for benching it's best cornerback. Yeah, yep, yep.
