Speaker 1: Seely and I are going to talk about some rumors

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: looming around the NFL landscape heading into free agency next week,

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,040

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: in free agency. And Jake, we've already had some interesting tags,

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: We've already had some organizations getting ahead of free agency.

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: But do you feel like it's still gonna be a

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: hot period of time for guys moving teams.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: If we're talking non fantasy route, well, if you play

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: an IDP, yay or like potentially need offensive line help,

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: which matters for us. But yeah, you and I were

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: talking about before the show, between the tags, the rumor

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: tags that could be coming, and then all these people

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: already working towards deals. Of course that could change, but

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: I feel like we're gonna get to Monday that week

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: and be like, well, free agent class went from about

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: fifty people to fifteen, Like that's just what it feels

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: like right now.

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyle Pitts already tagged George Pickens already, Tagg. We'll

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: discuss some of those guys later on the show too,

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: see if raid possibilities going on there. Before we get

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: to some of the rumors floating around. There's one thing

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: that's certain, and that's where giving away free stuff. Fantasy

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: the winner of the massive gold plated Fantasy Football Championship Belt.

35
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: All right, let's look about the quarterbacks first. Obviously, Daniel

36
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: Jones kind of at the top of the list too,

37
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: coming off a bad injury now and a lot of questions.

38
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: There's rumors about the vikings. Of course the Colts want

39
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: him back, but I guess at the end of the day,

40
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, off of what eight good games from

41
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones before the first injury happened before the season

42
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: ending injury happened, Did you really show you enough between

43
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: that performance and the Giant's career and that body of

44
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: work to warrant a big time quarterback contract that could

45
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: be a forty million dollar a deal a year deal.

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: Yes. So there's two aspects of this that aren't usually exclusive.

47
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: So on the one hand, no, Daniel Jones does not

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: deserve forty million dollars. On the other hand, we have

49
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: to understand what the NFL is and look at this.

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: If we're going to be talking about today and I'm

51
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: sure this entire offseason people are talking about potentially trading

52
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: for Andy Dalton. They are desperate for quarterbacks right now.

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: And this is why like at some point I feel

54
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: like maybe over the next two or three years, we

55
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: might hit that breaking point where we reset the quarterback

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: market because these contracts are getting crazy at a hand,

57
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: and I know the quarterback is the most important position.

58
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

59
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: And Daniel Jones is kind of Daniel Jones that we've

60
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: always known. Daniel Jones really wasn't that much better. He

61
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: was a little bit. Maybe Kevin O'Connell helped him when

62
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: he was with the Vikings. Briefly he was a little

63
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: bit better with the Colts, but really what we saw

64
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: is that when you give him weapons but also offensive

65
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: line protection and he has time to be comfortable, Daniel

66
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: Jones is a better player. A lot of quarterbacks in

67
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: the NFL are better players with time in the pocket.

68
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: This is actually probably the biggest difference going from college

69
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: to the NFL and succeeding in the NFL is being

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: able to succeed when you don't have clean pockets constantly.

71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: So Daniel Jones forty million No for us in fantasy

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: Danon Jones back with the Colts, cool thumbs up, assuming

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: that injury isn't in play in week one. Is the facts,

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: like he's one hundred percent, he might not even be

75
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: one hundred percent until October, which is why I think

76
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: we have him outside most everybody has him outside of

77
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: the QB one territory because of that risk, like he

78
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: has QB one upside if we knew he was one

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: hundred percent, we knew he was with the Colts, but

80
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: it's the risk of that, and then of course, yeah

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: that that the forty million is a sidebar. Like for

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: us fantasy, we don't care. But in real life yet, No,

83
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: there's no way I'm paying forty million dollars for no

84
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: look way, I'm gonna don't.

85
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Deserve forty million dollars, but I would like forty million dollars.

86
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there.

87
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure I know what to pay me four million dollars.

88
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: I'll I'll split my forty with you because we've been

89
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: friends for a long time.

90
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: I'll let you take care takes seventy percent. I'm cool.

91
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: All right here done? Remember he said it, everybody, Jake

92
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Seally said it. Okay, that's still I think that's ridiculous.

93
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: How about Malik Willis asking price of thirty million dollars.

94
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: The stealers apparently have heard this price and they are

95
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: shaking their heads. The Arizona Cardinals apparently kicking the tires there.

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Malik Willis too, So a lot going on there. Obviously,

97
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: when you start to connect to the floors, it makes

98
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of sense there. So uh, in terms

99
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: of rumors for Malik willis, what do you hear hearing?

100
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: And right now? What are you looking at? In terms

101
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: of I would like if this happened and Malik Willis

102
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: ended up here for fantasy purposes.

103
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: So I think that Milik Willis, I'd be much more

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: comfortable in real life giving him thirty million dollars than

105
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: forty to Daniel Jones, because we've played this game before.

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: There is no guarantee and Joey, no, we're not kind

107
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: of really talking about today. But I mentioned on my

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: podcast and I said in Dynasty, I'd float out Malik

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: Willis in trade offers right now because if you have him,

110
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: people are going crazy for him, because they're going off

111
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: a very small sample. And I'm not saying like this

112
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: is coming from somebody you remember this. This is coming

113
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: from somebody that really like Malik Willison, thought that he

114
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: deserved a chance to sit learn in the NFL. Came

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: from liberty. He wasn't ready to be a starter from

116
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: day one that with his development he could be a

117
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: start in the NFL. And we've seen flashes of it,

118
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: but we've seen flashes from quarterbacks stepping in for the

119
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: starters before. Where a full season of teams designing their

120
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: defensive schemes to come for you, a full season of

121
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: the quarterback playing the position, it doesn't always work. I

122
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: take the thirty million dollar gamble, because you know what,

123
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: if it doesn't, at least you tried it, and then

124
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: like you could turn around in two or three years

125
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: and move on from it. Daniel Jones feels more like

126
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: your hamstrung if you do it. And it's not just

127
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: the ten million dollar difference, but it kind of feels like, well,

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: we've already seen them play well for us, so you're like,

129
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: we got to give them that leash again, and then

130
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: we got to give them that leash again, and all

131
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: the look, you flashed again, leak wills bombs, you move on. Unfortunately,

132
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: there's the contract, but the rumors of where he's going, like, actually,

133
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: there's one that I thought was interesting yesterday, and I

134
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: know a lot of dominoes have to fall for this one,

135
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: but they said somebody floated out the Arizona Cardinals, and

136
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: I thought that would be hell of fun for him

137
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: to be on the Cardinal.

138
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: That's what I was there too. You're you're connecting the

139
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: floors there and you're kind of, you know, throwing things

140
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: out there a little bit. I don't have a problem

141
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: with that one, and that would make him exciting. And

142
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I think in dynasty leagues there's the upside of the

143
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: rushing with League Wills that you have that you've seen

144
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, But you are right. There are some

145
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: times where you know, guys who are backups all of

146
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: a sudden become the backup d jore of a free

147
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: agent clouds. I remember Matt Flynn back in the day

148
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, right, sign that huge deal, right like.

149
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: Packers Packers five touchdown game?

150
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, And and it's so, Look, I think maliqu

151
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: Willis has a brighter future than that Flynn did in

152
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'll tell you that one. But at the

153
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: same time, it does give you pause a little bit.

154
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: And I think if the Steelers right now are in

155
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: the spot where they lose out on Malik Willis, that

156
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: brings us to Aaron Rodgers. Can Aaron Rodgers coexist with

157
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. There's been a lot of rumors that JJ

158
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: McCarthy could be replaced by Aaron Rodgers. Either way, there

159
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: seems to be some sort of McCarthy drama in Aaron Rodgers'

160
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: future if he decides that future is in the NFL.

161
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Do you think Aaron Rodgers plays and if so, where

162
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: do you think the rumor Mills leading.

163
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Us towards I think at this point Aaron Rodgers is

164
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: just going to do the same thing he's been doing

165
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: for the past couple of years, and yeah, he's gonna

166
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: play again, mostly because what you talked about with the

167
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: Steelers is I think that the Steelers are going to

168
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: be one of there's probably two or three teams. They're

169
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: gonna be left like, they're gonna be left being like,

170
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: all right, now, what do we do because Malik Willis

171
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: doesn't go to them, you don't make a trade with

172
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: somebody else, you're not drafting anybody this draft class, and

173
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, uh oh, now what. And Aaron

174
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers isn't the worst, he's not the best. We all

175
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: want him to go away from a real life perspective.

176
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: But the truth is the Mike McCarthy part of it helps.

177
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: The biggest thing with Mike McCarthy, as you and I

178
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: and Ericson I think was on that show, talked about it,

179
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: and I said that Mike McCarthy loves three wide receivers.

180
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: They have one. They have dk metcalf end of list

181
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: right now. So if you're convincing Aaron Rodgers to come back,

182
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: I think that's why I bring this up this, like

183
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: you say, Aaron Rodgers is I think that because if

184
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: they miss on the quarterbacks, they might be more aggressive

185
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: to address the wide receiver room, especially that Arthur Smith

186
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: isn't there trying to roll out fourteen tight ends and

187
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: that you see that brought in for Aaron Rodgers to

188
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: play one more year, and you know, maybe he gives

189
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: more run at it. And mostly, like I said, I

190
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: think it's just because what do we do? Like, I

191
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: don't think they're trading for Kyler Murray. I could be

192
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: wrong on that one, but like, I just don't see

193
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: the Steelers being the ones that are gonna get Willis

194
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: Murray or even Daniel Jones. And so the reunion almost

195
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: kind of feels inevitable as much as we don't want

196
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: to do it.

197
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like Kyler Murray and Pittsburgh. I don't

198
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: think that's a good fit at all. He's got to

199
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: go to like a you know, another West Coast team

200
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: to me, or another team that's you know, small market

201
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: football is like football is there yay football that is

202
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: not you know the pressure house that.

203
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: Yay football, hooray, and you know, like that kind of

204
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: thing Miami, like everybody's tying him too.

205
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Miami, Miami is a look, Miami is a

206
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, and the pantheon of NFL franchise is obviously

207
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: very important over the years, but has been largely irrelevant,

208
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I would say over the last twenty you know, like,

209
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: when's the last time we had a Dolphin's Super Bowl appearance?

210
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Been a long time.

211
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: So the one that would get me super excited about

212
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is if he goes to the Vikings, you

213
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: put him with Kevin O'Connell, sign.

214
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Out trickier, but they're so nice up there that they

215
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: would probably be like, oh, well, you know, Kyler is

216
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: just doing the best he can. You know, yeah, you know,

217
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: he's a little guy. You got to give him, you know,

218
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: he's oh yeah, sure, you know. All right, that's a

219
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: terrible accents. I apologize, friends, Sorry, all right, let's talk.

220
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: It's like when Jake tries to do a New York accent.

221
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: I understand, I'm sorry.

222
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: That's not true. That's the one accent I can do.

223
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: That's the only accent I can do. I can't do Italian.

224
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: That's what you're thinking of.

225
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: That that's where you always go to and it's wretched.

226
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: All Right. We mentioned George Bickots at the top of

227
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: the show. Let's talk about George Pickens. I know he

228
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: got franchise tag. Is there any chance you think that

229
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: he gets traded off that franchise tag or they're just

230
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: sticking with him.

231
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: I think they're sticking with him, mostly because if we're

232
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: trying to, according to Jones, recoup and get some traft

233
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: draft picks back, but you got you know, you traded

234
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: a third and a fifth and then you got back

235
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: the seventh or whatever it was. So what is he

236
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: going to ask for a second and a fourth coming

237
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: off that season? We know this. Unfortunately in the NFL,

238
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: it's just muted when it comes to trading picks for

239
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: wide receivers, especially look at A. J. Brown's trades, like so,

240
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: I just don't know he's going to get what he wants.

241
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: And and now we've already seen the Cowboys talking about

242
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: training back from one of their first rounders to recoup more.

243
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: I think they have a lot of avenues where they

244
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: don't need to do this. Like if they didn't have

245
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: the two first rounders from the Parsons trade, I would say, yeah,

246
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: maybe they will be a little bit more aggressive because

247
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: they don't have as many picks overall. But George Pickens

248
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: just feels like a nice fit of what they're being

249
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: able to do. That being said, would it shock me? No,

250
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: I just want to bet on it. Uh if he

251
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: is moved. The problem is is that's that's the second

252
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: part of it. Like it's like fantasy. Like we always say, like, oh,

253
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: I want to trade, I want to sell high right now,

254
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm blank. That's cool. You got to find somebody who

255
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: wants to buy that player. So where do you see

256
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: a team that has the draft capital, so to speak,

257
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: and is in a nice spot to bring in George Pickens.

258
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: It's not the longest list in the world, especially when

259
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: you start talking about teams like, Okay, the Steelers could

260
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: use I was gonna say the Steelers could That was

261
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: the first man that came to mind. The Bangles have

262
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: a ton of cap space, but they don't they don't

263
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: need to George Pickens. Like the Bears are flush, the Packers,

264
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: what are they gonna you know, they have all those options.

265
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: Like so you just kind of look through these lists

266
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: and it's like, where does he go? Like maybe the

267
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: Falcons maybe because they need somebody alongside Drake London. But

268
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: it's just a short list, so I think he's just

269
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: gonna end up back with them, especially because they already

270
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: tagged him.

271
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: All right, it's being at tags. It looks like Bryce

272
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Hall inevitably will be tagged by the Jets. It seems

273
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: like that's not going well, which yes, I know from

274
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Jake's disdain in his voice. There you can tell all

275
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the fantasy pains and.

276
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: When you're an awful team, tie yourself to a running back.

277
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Look, man, they have no offense, like they like any

278
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: any hope of trying to entice some quarterback of note.

279
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just gonna be like a Joe

280
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Flacco at this point? Like because Andy Dalton, I'd rather

281
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: have Joe Flacco than Andy Dalton, I think.

282
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean years ago, bring back Carson WinCE. You know

283
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: what the answer is, haven't No, you know what the

284
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: answer is for all of these teams. The problem is

285
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: is all of these teams it's like do you no, no, no?

286
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: Do you look at him and do you say, do

287
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: I want to contend and have really explosive offense or

288
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: do I want to just tank? I put that in

289
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: quotes Tank this year because the answer is Jameis Winston.

290
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: That's the answer for all of these teams. Also, don't

291
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: forget Russell Wilson's are free agents, so somebody's good. Russell

292
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: Wilson's gonna end up with a starting job next year

293
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: for about agree.

294
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: And that also makes me sad. Let's talk about Travis

295
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: at because I don't want to talk about Russell Wilson

296
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: Travis ATM. There's been some odd rumors lately about the

297
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks being interested. We're just moving from for bresholl

298
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: or just what else is there to say if they

299
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: franchise him. It's just it is what it is, and

300
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: we move on until they get a quarterback and we

301
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell that offense is going to be.

302
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a disaster. I feel bad for Breze Hall.

303
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: I want to send him an edible arrangement because I

304
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: feel he is depressed being there. He doesn't want to

305
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: be there.

306
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: Before the comments come. By the way, I know you

307
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: have to trade for Jamis Winston because he's on the

308
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: roster for the Giants. I want to make that clear

309
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: because like answer trade for I know, I know he

310
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: has to be traded for him.

311
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's the thing. You could sign Joe Flacco

312
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: for nothing and get pretty much the same. But what

313
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: are you sending for jamis a fifth?

314
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: A fourth?

315
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: Probably? It's not like you Jets know what's movie those drafts. Anyway,

316
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: Travis ATN, the Chiefs have been a rumored team that

317
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: I've seen recently too. Any rumors swirling around for you

318
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that makes sense or you kind of like the idea

319
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: of conceptually for Travis ATM.

320
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: I like the idea for ETN going to the Chiefs.

321
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: But the biggest thing here is that does he get

322
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: tagged to the Jaguars say, you know what, we have

323
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: cap space galore, Like we weren't enamored with Basehall Tutan

324
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Leaquin Allen. You know, we took flyers on them. You know,

325
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: this comes down to what does Liam Cohen feel. If

326
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: Liam Cohnan is like, hey, we're going to be able

327
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: to get something more out of them next year, or

328
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: maybe they dip into it and say like we'll be

329
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: able to get more out of them and go cheat

330
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 2: with the JK. Dobbins and they just don't want to

331
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: spend at their running back position. I say, you're smart,

332
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: but I'm saying like, we don't know what Cohen is thinking.

333
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: I think Liam Coleen would be smart to do everything

334
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: you can to bring Travis ATM back. I said on

335
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the shows before, that's what I think. Personal.

336
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. It's like Travis ATN. We've seen

337
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: the really good, we've seen the really bad, and then

338
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: we saw him rebound under Cohen, and Cohen kind of

339
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: got that. It wasn't the exceptional real like what was

340
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: that say, seven game peak that we saw from ETN

341
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: from two years ago. It wasn't that, but it's like

342
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: ninety percent of that anybody got it over the full season.

343
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: And that's the biggest thing.

344
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get that every bad. There was injuries

345
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: involved too. He wasn't one hundred percent healthy. He was

346
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: playing through stuff. So I think, like I said, the

347
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: best marriage is, you know, the two of those entities

348
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: coming together.

349
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: Here's what it comes down to. Fantasy ETN with the

350
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: Jaguars thumbs up, great value isn't going to get the

351
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: respect deserves as our RB two again because everybody's worried

352
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: about Twoton and the rest. ETN with the Chiefs sell

353
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: high because everybody's gonna go bananas and be like, oh,

354
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: top five, there's your answers right there.

355
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: I wonder what that would do as adp too, you know,

356
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: just thinking about that in Redraft League one thing in Dynasty. Yeah,

357
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you. Let's talk about Alex Pierce,

358
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: another guy whose values through the roof. There's been rumors

359
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: about the Titans, rumors from the Raiders. I like that

360
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Raiders landing spot personally, and I think it's time to

361
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive. Give Bernana Mendoz a

362
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: downfield guy. It doesn't exist in that offense. You have

363
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: the running back, you have the intermediate guy, and Brock

364
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: Vowers give him the deep threat guy, and all of

365
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, I think for Nanda Mendozo with a remade,

366
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: rebooted offensive line could hit the ground running potentially in

367
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: his rookie year. What are your thoughts on the Alec

368
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Pierce rumors that have been floating around recently.

369
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they made it, And check that video that you,

370
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: I and Erickson did when we talked about this, we.

371
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Should great everybody.

372
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: Actually, no, that was Tom because I put all that.

373
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah it was, and you love that one. And I

374
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: would love to see him on the Raiders. By the way,

375
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: with Kobiak and the fit and everything. Oh, by the way,

376
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: was Koobiak do schemes wide receivers open? Deep? Huh? I

377
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: wonder who's good at doing that. The unfortunate thing is

378
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: I was shocked by this. I was I'm not I

379
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: was shocked. I was shocked at the Colts said, you

380
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: know what, we kind of want to start opening negotiations

381
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: now to get him back because they have Pittman, because

382
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: they have downs, because they just drafted Warren, And it

383
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: feels like almost a luxury to bring back Alec Pierce,

384
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: not because Alec Pierce, Like I don't want to take

385
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: anything away from Peers. It's just I don't know that

386
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: the Colts need him as much as he could be

387
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: needed on another team, And to give him this much

388
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: money is the biggest thing. So you can look at

389
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: that twofold is it's a lot of money. But this

390
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: is kind of where we are in the NFL. What

391
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: comes to wide receivers, Like twenty million almost feels like

392
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: the starting point for our top twenty five. I put

393
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: that in quotes wide receiver. But is he that or

394
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: is he kind of a great number two? Who just

395
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: knows how to get open deep and the team's offense

396
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: needs to be there for him, which, of course the

397
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: Colts can be, the Raiders can be. But what if

398
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: he ends up somewhere else the Colts. I would actually

399
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: preferm on the Raiders then the Colts, because the Raiders

400
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: you could walk into one hundred and twenty plus targets

401
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: as the number one wide receiver alongside brock Bowers. The Colts,

402
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: he's going to be fighting with Pittman and Downs and Warren,

403
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: and then the backfield running with Jonathan Taylor. So I'd

404
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: rather get out of there for our fantasy purposes. So

405
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: this is another one. If he's back with the Colts,

406
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: it might actually be a sell high because everybody'd be like,

407
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: oh cool, look how good he did Next year, maybe

408
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: he takes another step forward on the Raiders and be like,

409
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: I would actually stock up even more.

410
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at some names that

411
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned yet. Give you our take about some

412
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: rumors there or the Rare It might make sense. Mike Evans,

413
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: look for me, it seems like Tampa Bay has said that,

414
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: you know it's time to part ways and move on,

415
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's probably the best for everybody. Buffalo

416
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: Bills need to learn how to win. Mike Evans has

417
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. I think he knows that. And

418
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: if you're Mike Evans, you don't want to just float

419
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: away here. You want to take one more crack at it.

420
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: And the best place to do that is to go

421
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: hang out with Josh Allen, who desperately needs a friend.

422
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: And you saw Drake may get a mercenary wide receiver

423
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: in Stefan Diggs, and it helped him. Since Stefon Diggs

424
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: left Buffalo, they have not figured out how to plug

425
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: that gap. And Mike Evans at least would be a

426
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: stop gap. And maybe in the draft you go take

427
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: somebody else and you have them grow under the Mike

428
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: Evans tree and you pass the torch in two years.

429
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea. It's a great format

430
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: to keep Josh Allen relevant because obviously a bitter taste

431
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: in their mouth. The coach got fired, all these issues

432
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: swirling around them. They promoted from within. To me, I

433
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: think that Buffalo is still very close to winning a

434
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: championship potentially, but they desperately continue to need some help

435
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: and a veteran wide receiver like Mike Evans, can I

436
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: think bring that not just to Josh Allen, but also

437
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: to the to that wide Receiver group whoever it ends

438
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: up being in twenty twenty six, So I want to

439
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: see him there. I haven't seen too many rumors about

440
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it yet, but I'm trying to force the rumor here

441
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: to Jake. Is there a rumor you'd like to force

442
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: here potentially or one that you've heard that you like

443
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot we didn't talk about today.

444
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this one yet, so I guess it's

445
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: forcing it. And I like the Mike Evans call. And

446
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: the funny thing is, as you said that, I was

447
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: thinking of a team that keeps going down the old

448
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: person road, and we've like the team I'm about to

449
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: bring up is the fit that actually would be funny

450
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: if Mike Evans went to Because the Commanders have a

451
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: ton of money, the commanders are going to do something

452
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel out the door. They And that's why I laughed,

453
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 2: is because Mike Evans would actually fit what they've been

454
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: doing recently. It's like they keep this roster at thirty

455
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: plus years old. We appreciate it because we're old, but

456
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: the fact is I actually think ISAA likely makes a

457
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: ton of sense. Now. My original thought as referencing those

458
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: other shows was Breece Hall. What if they're a player

459
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: for Breese Hall. But with the tag situation, well, now

460
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: the commanders have to pivot. Maybe they still go into

461
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: the running back pool, which they need to because they

462
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: only have crosskey merit and basically nobody behind them right now.

463
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: But Isaiah likely is a really good fit for Jaden

464
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: Daniels alongside Tarry McLaurin. There's already talk at the combine.

465
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the report from multiple

466
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: agents and teams that reports all of this, Like, imagine

467
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: Isaiah likely freed from the Ravens. It has the number

468
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: one on a team somewhere. And if they look at

469
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: the wide receiver pool, which again George Picken's getting tagged

470
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: and then impossibly know Alec Pearce, it dries up super fast.

471
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: Now you're talking about Romeo Dobbs, which actually think is

472
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: a nice value. But then the rest so they go like,

473
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: you know what, let's get the difference maker at tight end.

474
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: Zach Ertz is coming off from a massive injury, Benson

475
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: that hasn't really done anything in his brief time in

476
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: the NFL, and you put Likely with Jayden Daniels and

477
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: Arry McLaurin on that team. I would love for this

478
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: to happen, and Isaiah Likely, Like, I'm not trying to

479
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: be hot taky, I'm just trying to say this. Kyle

480
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 2: Pitts was tagged. If Kyle Pitts, by the way, Stefanski

481
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: all those screens to fan in, if we're pulling into

482
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: a dot for Kyle Pitts, I actually think he's going

483
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: to be inflated next year and I would be off

484
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts. Isaiah Likely on the Commanders leaps Kyle's Pitts

485
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: and would be in the top six or seven.

486
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Well, in our early takes on free agency that Kyle

487
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Pitts to Washington was what I wanted desperately to happen.

488
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: So I'm fine if the you know you can't get

489
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, the A, your pivot to B. And if

490
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: it's Isaiah Likely, it's the same principles, And I'm with you.

491
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say that, wouldn't you wouldn't you rather have

492
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: Likely the command I still think Pits.

493
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: I would rather have Pits on the Commanders than Likely

494
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: than Pits on the Falcons. Yes, but I would also

495
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: rather have Pits than Likely if I'm the Washington commanders

496
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: as well, but I have to the Washington Commanders end

497
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: up with Isaiah Likely. I think that's okay. I think

498
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: that's a really good fit for Jane Daniels and and

499
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: I think it would also help Jane Daniels take a

500
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: litt pressure off too, because he really hasn't had that

501
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: outlet wide receiver too where he could just kind of

502
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: dump balls off to with pressure and it takes a

503
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: little pressure off him coming off of an injury played

504
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season two. I'd like to see that.

505
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's good practice. Get him

506
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: a running game again. With all this money you got,

507
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: get him a quick dump off wide receiver or tight end.

508
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: How did you put money in quotes?

509
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: Well, because they got all this money, but you'll use it,

510
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: use it to help Jaden Daniels, Like, use it in

511
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: the proper way. You know, you can have a lot

512
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: of cap space and still not know what to do

513
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: with it. Just ask Bill Belichick years ago. Remember remember

514
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: that year we had on that cap space and he

515
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: signed like four tight ends and everyone's going, what the

516
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: hell are we doing here?

517
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: Amazing coach, terrible GM.

518
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,040
