1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: your twenty four seventh home of the Black and Goal

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: SR Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. I'm

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: Dale Lolly, he is Matt Williamson and Matt. That first

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: wave of free agency has gone through and seeing some

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: big names signed, we've seen some a lot of lesser

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: contracts signed. It's been a little different this year in

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: terms of that. Usually you see, you know, the big

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: names kind of get go ticking off the board quickly,

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen quite. There were some, but not

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: all of them this year. So it leads me to

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: believe that some of those guys were maybe looking for

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more money than than what you know,

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: teams are willing to pay. So, you know, we'll see

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: if some of those deals start to happen here again

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks. A lot of the movers

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: and shakers in the NFL are now attending pro days.

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Of course, Ohio State having their pro day today. Mike

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: tom and Omar Kahn and company are at that one. Obviously,

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: it's an easy one for the Steelers to get to.

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: But Alabama, Alabama's tomorrow you know, these are these are

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: things where your front office people, that's where they're at.

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: I think the four quarterbacks go day after day after

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: day after day. Yeah, it's a big week for that one. Yea,

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: for that position. But um, there's been some talk here

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: and Bill Barnwell wrote an article on this as well

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: as the best team fits for some unsigned players. I

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: wanted to start with this one though first, and he's

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: not included. Well, he has included in Barnwell's big name

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: free agent fits here. But Dan Orlovski earlier this week

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: came out and said the Steelers should sign Odell Beckham

32
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: junior because that would really, that would really, you know,

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: put their offense over the top. And I couldn't disagree

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: with that more. I couldn't either. I just don't understand that.

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know dan Orlovsky, but I'll let's say I

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: don't agree with very many things that come out of

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: his mouth on a public For him to be very

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: honest with you, I mean, whether it's on TV or

39
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: written or whatever, rarely do I agree with him. Doesn't

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: mean I'm right and he's wrong. It's just not my

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: top analyst. Um, I think Odell can probably still play.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: I just don't need that personality in the locker room.

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: That's the big thing, right right right, I mean it's

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: it's the crazy hot girl girl Axes, you know. I mean,

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: there's too much crazy and you're not hot enough anymore, Odell,

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I just can't do it. Yeah,

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there were there were reports out there earlier

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: in the week and that he wanted twenty million dollars

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: a year. Well, that's not happening. He's not that guy.

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you said he heard this, but

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: he said I was shooting for twenty. I was getting

52
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: offered four. I need somewhere in between. I'm not gonna

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: take four. I don't even know that I want to

54
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: pay him for At this point, I don't know what

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: he is about it. Yeah, I don't know, but he

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: is the guy hasn't played football in two years. No.

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing very well for the Rams

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: until the second he got hurt in the Super Bowl.

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Last year was a total wash. And now he's thirty

60
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: plus Yeah, yeah, with with with acl injuries on both legs,

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: several and baggage and lots of baggage. I mean, he's

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: he has set fire to his previous teams. Yeah, him

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and Baker didn't exactly get along. And I don't know

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy, but it's kind of On my

65
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: podcast day, we had a long conversation about Cam Newton.

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Cam Newton's a bad guy, but these

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: guys that are huge personalities change a team and it's yeah,

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: you're great, you know it's not. Yeah, I mean, is

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton gonna take the Josh McCown roll. Probably not.

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: You know, is Odell going to do the Hayward Bay roll? No?

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, right right? I saw we're in sharp put

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: out a tweet. Know how many quarterbacks is you know,

73
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks in the league right now? Is Cam Newton

74
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: better than And you're trying to base that off of

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: his throwing at the Auburn Pro Day, Well, again, it's

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: a pro day. I expect Cam Newton if we just

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: want to throw the football seventy yards in the air, Okay,

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: I know he could probably still do that. I bet

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: he looks great doing it. Yeah, he just can be

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: his shoulders good. He looks the part. Nobody's hit him

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: in two years, you know. Okay, but there's a Thanksgiving

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: after you've played ten eight, you know eight. You know

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: how good Ben Roethlisberger would look at Pitts Pro Day

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: right now? You know what I mean? He would be well,

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the thing. You know, Mark Madden

86
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: had been on his show on Tuesday and Ben said

87
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that the you know, the forty nine ers contacted him

88
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: after there was some there was some talks there between

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: him and the forty nine ers when Jimmy Garoppolo went

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: down and they decided to go with Brock Birdie get

91
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: and he was entertaining the idea of playing Sure, yeah,

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: because he felt great at that point, right, right, But

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: what was he gonna feel like the first Monday after

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: he after he played a game, right, it'd be worse

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: than any Monday he's probably ever had, or close to it.

96
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Brett far would look good at a pro day right now, right,

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: they could throw the football. These are these are one

98
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: day right right right, not get get no rush, you know,

99
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: just airing it out. Yeah, He's donna look great, Newton's

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna look great. It's a lot different stories. And you know,

101
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: come October, come feting me in November, and he changes

102
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: your locker room. Odell changes your locker room. Maybe for

103
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: the better if things are going well. Maybe they're tremendous teammates.

104
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: But he changed the dynamic lot. But you saw him

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: set fire to a young quarterback in Baker Mayfield. M

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: you have a young quarterback in Kenny Pickett. The first

107
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: time he's won, he's open, and Pickett doesn't throw the

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: ball to him. Is he gonna is he gonna go

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: crazy on you know? And and and you know, is

110
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: his dad gonna start tweeting out photos of you know,

111
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: pick it and here my son was open. You don't

112
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: need that with your young quarterback. No, No, I mean

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: he needs to go to him and Antonio Brown aren't

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the same. Obviously Antonio has issues, but he needs to

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: go like Antonio did with Brady, you know, like even

116
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: that didn't work. They did here and there, you know

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like he needs to go with an

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: established quarterback that the owner, front office, head coach are

119
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: all behind. And Odell you're an afterthought, you know, and

120
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: run your routes and if you say some stuff, great,

121
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: but we're not even listening. Yeah, I mean, do I

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: think Mike Tomlin could handle Odell Beckham Junior? Yes? I do,

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know that the rest of that offense

124
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: as young as it is. In handling Odell Beckham right,

125
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: it might work out great. I mean, Tomlin's a perfect

126
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: guy to handle it to him, you know. And if

127
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: things are good, it'll be fine. You know, if he's

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: catching balls, they're winning games, it'll be fine. But inevitably

129
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, you know. But that, yeah,

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's not something that I want to

131
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: spend you know, five or six million dollars on to

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: find out right exactly, I mean that means just not

133
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: signing something else that Albins goes somewhere else or whatever

134
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: it is. You know, whatever you want, you know, you

135
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: can't have it all. So anyways, that brings us to

136
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Barnwell's best team fits for some unsigned players. His first

137
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: guy's Bobby Wagner, Yes, and his best fit would be

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills on a one year, six million

139
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: dollar deal. Terrorists. I don't know that Bobby Wagner is

140
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: interested in signing a one year, six million dollar deal.

141
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: You're starting to hear some rumblings now that he might

142
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: go back to Seattle. I think that's in the cards.

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a West Coast guy, and that's where

144
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: he wants to stay. Yeah, he went to Utah State.

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: He's I think that matters to him. Money he has plenty,

146
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: He's got a Hall of Fame resume. Yeah, I think

147
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: he's more worried about geography. Fit him and Pete Carroll

148
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: or tight obviously. You know that makes a lot more

149
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: sense to me than Buffalo Teddy Bridgewater. His best fit

150
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: like this one is with the Baltimore Ravens at one year,

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: five million dollars. I would do this right now if

152
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I were the Ravens. And I don't even like Bridgewater

153
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: that much. I mean, I think Bridgewater is very overrated.

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: But if they need somebody, you're gonna need to I mean,

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: Bridgewater is better than Huntley. So even if Lamar signs

156
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: and as happy as can be, Teddy's a good backup.

157
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: And what if he doesn't, you know, right, yeah, if

158
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: you lose him, you've got nothing. I mean, as Lamar

159
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: going to participate in mini camp and training camp, like,

160
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: how long does this go? We need to run practices. Well,

161
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I think the interesting thing now is you're starting to

162
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: see the Indianapolis Colts as a possibility for Lamar. Jackson

163
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and we'll find out. Like the interesting thing, Yeah, but

164
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this is that teams can wait

165
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: until after the draft to sign Lamar, but they give

166
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: up picks next year and in twenty twenty five with

167
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Lamar or helping your win percentage. Right, that's the people

168
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: are wondering why something hasn't happened with Lamar. I think

169
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: that's why. I think it's a lot to do with it.

170
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: I think if you're if you're Indianapolis and you're sitting

171
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: there a you don't know how the quarterbacks are going

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: to go in this year's draft. I think you know

173
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: two aren't going to be you know, the two are

174
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: going to be there. And if it's not the if

175
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: it's not the two that you want, then okay, I

176
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: will just take a step further. I think, you know,

177
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Strout and Young or off the table. Yeah, unless you

178
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: unless you know, I don't think either one gets to four.

179
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: So you may look at this and go, Okay, we're

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: just gonna stay where we're at. We don't have to,

181
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: we don't have to give up a pick them to

182
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: move up and you know, select Anthony Richardson or stay

183
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: here and select Anthony Richardson and hope he turns into something. Right,

184
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: we could just draft the best player available and sign Lamar. Yeah,

185
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: you get Will Anderson, or you get Carter, or you

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: trade down and get a bunch of stuff, and then

187
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: you make an offer for Lamar with the intent of

188
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: and probably a pretty good case that team with Lamar

189
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Jackson and the fourth pick in the draft might be

190
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: the best. They'll be competing for that division title, right,

191
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: bad division twenties. Right, I always go back to Washington

192
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: with Lamar, Like, because they're picking sixteen, I'll give up

193
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: sixteen and next year's first for long. I think you

194
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: could do that now, although they might not have an owner,

195
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: and that's kind of important. That's kind of have a

196
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: big deal. Yeah, um, Ezekiel Elliott his his ideal destination

197
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay, a one year, four million dollars deal

198
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: with the Bucks. No, yeah, I don't. I don't see that.

199
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: I think he's shot. Yeah, I think you bring in

200
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, I if Ezekiel Elliott wants to be you know,

201
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: if somebody goes down in training camp and the team

202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: needs a running back, a guy who's a he's a

203
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: durable back and he's a good he's good in pass protection,

204
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: and he's he does a lot of the little things

205
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: that maybe a rookie running back isn't gonna do for you.

206
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: But he's he's not somebody want to get the ball

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: to two hundred and fifty three hundred times. Here's the

208
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: deal with Zeke, Like if you watch Dallas's tape, coaches tape,

209
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: everyone figured out he can't get to the corner. So

210
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: when Paullard's in the game, they play much wider on

211
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: defense because he can absolutely get to the corner. When

212
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: Zeke gets in there, they condense things. So the things

213
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: he does well, they take away from him. You know, right,

214
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: there's a book. Yeah, no doubt, and you know, I

215
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: just don't know what's that's worth at this point. I

216
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: love the leader in the little things and all that's great,

217
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, like if Zeke was taken Bijon under his

218
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: wing and for you know, a league minimum and wants

219
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: to be Emmett Smith at the end of his career, great,

220
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: But I can't hand him the ball two hundred times.

221
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, Yeah, Marcus Peters one year, two point

222
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: five million dollars with the Giants, I think this makes

223
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: all the sense in the world. I don't know that

224
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters is going to accept a one year, two

225
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: point five million dollar deal, right, that's a super cheap deal.

226
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: And you know, but you're talking about a guy who

227
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: last year when he played, gave up one hundred and

228
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: thirteen point seven passer rating and seven touchdowns. Yeah. I've

229
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: never been a fan. I've never been a fan. And

230
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: we just had a segment about corners can vary week

231
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: year to year. I don't think he signs for two

232
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: point five. But if I'm the Giants, sure, you know,

233
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's This is a guy who has

234
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: made sixty million dollars in his career because he believes

235
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: he's a high end corner end teams have valued his

236
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: ability to take the football away. I know you with me,

237
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: but I'd give him two point five from the Steelers.

238
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: Two point Five's nothing. Two point five is absolutely I

239
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think he would play for that, right,

240
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean two point five. You could cut him in

241
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: training camp if he stinks. And I think Marcus Peters

242
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: is smart enough to know that. Yeah, he's at four

243
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: or five from somebody, right. Donovan Smith, who got released

244
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: by Tampa Bay. The deal is two years, thirteen million

245
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: dollars with the Colts, And I'll be honest with you,

246
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: that's about the kind of player Donovan Smith is. People

247
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: are complaining about Dan Moore more is a better player

248
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: than Donovan Smith, and he's only getting better. Smith is

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: exactly what he is. Not to the Emmett level, but

250
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: there's a book on him and everyone knows how to

251
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: beat him. You know, he's big, and he's a he's

252
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: an impressive athlete, but he's not a great football player.

253
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: Not a bad deal for the Colts though, you know.

254
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're looking for a left tackle. They're

255
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: not going to take one. At four leads the NFL

256
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: and total penalties over the past three years with thirty two.

257
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a he's a holding machine, right.

258
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: He is a big problem in those his hands because

259
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't keep him in and his technique with his

260
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: upper body is bad, so then he gets lunging and

261
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: grabbing and everybody knows it. No, by the way, he

262
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: gave up six sacks last year, like and Brady doesn't

263
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: take sacks. Yeah, Yannick and Dockway Kansas City two years

264
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: and see outside the linebacker for you. No, I have

265
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: no interest in Yannick and Gockway neither. I mean, you

266
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: better be able to play the run, and he doesn't

267
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: play the run at all, No, at all. So Kansas

268
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: City would be a good spot for him, a good

269
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: landing spot because they're going to force you to throw

270
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: the football eventually. Two years, nineteen million dollars for Yannick

271
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: and Dockway. That's a lot of money for a guy

272
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: who's just a fastball pitcher like Rockyuston is a decent

273
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: player and young. But they were traded straight up for

274
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: each other like one year ago, and Rockyuston is still

275
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: on the free agent market not getting what he wants,

276
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and dockways stock hasn't gone up since he's been somewhat

277
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: of a mercenary. Every year he changes teams. But if

278
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: you notice, every year he changes teams to go to

279
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: a Seattle Cover three system, and there's like none of

280
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: them left anymore. Yeah, I mean, Seattle would be the

281
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: ideal landing spot for him. Yeah, I'm not giving him

282
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: nineteen I'm not giving him nineteen million dollars for a

283
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get me six or seven sacks, can't

284
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: play and can't play the run, right, I mean he's

285
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna play on early downs twenty percent of the time,

286
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: and third and long a lot of the percent of

287
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: the time. Again, that's a specialty player, right, And he's

288
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: not good enough. He's not Von Miller, you know, no, right? Yeah,

289
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: DJ Chark And I'm kind of surprised DJ Chark hasn't

290
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: signed yet, but he must be. Must be looking for

291
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: big money. And his possible deal is one year eight

292
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: point five million with the Chargers. It's a good fit.

293
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: They need an outside the numbers down field dude, and

294
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Chark still is that. I think he's a little underrated.

295
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm shocked he isn't signed. Like he flirted with Carolina.

296
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Carolina's got nothing I would take. I would take Charck there.

297
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are good fit. I mean he's

298
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: not number one two. Uh. Then we get to Odell

299
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Beckham and his possible deal is one year, five point

300
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: five million dollars with the Ravens. Would he not be

301
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: happy there? No, he would not be happy there. If

302
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: they don't throw them the ball. I mean they didn't

303
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: change when they play off it. I mean, is he

304
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna block you know thirty five percent? Of the time.

305
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what the Ravens will look like.

306
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know who their quarterback is. They

307
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: have a new offensive coordinator. I think that the scheme

308
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: will look different no matter who the coordinator or who

309
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. But they're not gonna be a high

310
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: volume passing attack, let alone to wide receivers. Right. John

311
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Johnson the third he was released by the Browns possible

312
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: deal two years, eight million dollars with the Rams. That's fine.

313
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: I would even consider him as a third safety for

314
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Yeah, although are they looking for Are the

315
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: Steelers looking for a third safety or are they looking

316
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: for a starting strong safety, because I still don't think

317
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: that's Casey's I don't. I don't. I like the Wante CAZy.

318
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't want him as my starting strong safety. Agreed,

319
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: somebody is right, I just don't know. You know, like

320
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: there's some teams Buffalo comes to mind, where they're just

321
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: really interchangeable, where they're not strong and free. They've always

322
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: had a strong and free here. Do they still want

323
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: a strong and free I bet they do. But who's

324
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: to say? And you're right, Johnson's not a in the

325
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: box old school you know, Edmonds is much more of that. Yeah,

326
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: I think it's more complimentary if you get a true

327
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: guy that a guy that can play in a box,

328
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: because I don't think you want Minka playing in the

329
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: box all the time. Agreed. And I like the linebacker moves,

330
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: but coverage is not the new linebacker's forte either, right, Yeah,

331
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: you gotta have somebody who can that kind of tight ends. Yeah,

332
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Dalton right Eisner three years, twenty one million dollars with

333
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I'm shocked he's still out there. I mean,

334
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: he's ben one of them guards on the market. Maybe

335
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: he's must wants too much money or I don't know. Yeah,

336
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting, um, but somebody's going to sign him at

337
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: some point. Three years, twenty one million not a bad

338
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: cor I mean yeah, if you're the Bears, I know

339
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: they signed a guard, or you know, the Giants. One

340
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: of these seems has a lot of cap space. He's

341
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: a starter, yeah, I mean he's still young. Yeah, yep,

342
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: he's somebody teams should kick the tires on. Not the Steelers.

343
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: They have enough guards, they get it. Yeah, They're they're

344
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: pretty set a guard right now. And then he has

345
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: a couple of guys in here for trades. The first

346
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: is DeAndre Hopkins and his trade is to the Panthers.

347
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: Um they would send the number ninety three selection to

348
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Cardinals who would pick up ten million of

349
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: hopkins nineteen point five million base salary, and then Carolina

350
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: would guarantee fourteen point nine million dollars salary for twenty

351
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty four for meaning that they would have him for

352
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: two years at twenty four point four million. That's the

353
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: problem with a DeAndre Hopkins right now. Yeah, he's gonna

354
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: turn thirty one in June. He's never been somebody that

355
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: ran real well to begin with and missed, you know,

356
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: the second half of the twenty twenty one season with

357
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: hamstring and knee injuries, then tested positive for PDS and

358
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: he's making twenty million dollars a year older. Guys, a

359
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: test positive for PDS always scare me because I wonder,

360
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: do you need him to keep up where you were?

361
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Right, I don't know if

362
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: he does or not. I mean, but when when you're

363
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: starting to slip and then you get bust for PDS,

364
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: that's a double red flag for me. Do you want

365
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: Hopkins and theeling I mean they're combined, they would be

366
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: good for whoever you're drafting At one. I mean, Hopkins

367
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: is a very rookie friendly guy. Chuck it up when

368
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: you're in trouble and they'll come down with it. But

369
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: can the Panthers afford to give up more draft capital?

370
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they just gave up a ton, right. And

371
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: one other note about the Panthers I think is interesting

372
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: is next offseason, next free agency, they're gonna be like

373
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: the Bears in terms of spending power of money. They

374
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: can handle the money. Yeah. And then the other one

375
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: is Jonah Williams, who of course asked for a trade

376
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: from the Bengals after they signed to Orlando Brown. Which,

377
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: by the way, so the Ravens have now told us

378
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: that they don't want to pay big money for Orlando Brown.

379
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs have told us that they don't want

380
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: to pay big money for Orlando Brown. Two pretty strong

381
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: front offices, two pretty strong front offices. The Bengals signed him.

382
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: Everybody says that's a great deal. Now, they didn't give

383
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: him huge money, but they gave him pretty good money,

384
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: all right, Right, Two other teams who who are pretty

385
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: smart didn't didn't. I think he's an upgrade over Williams.

386
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: I was shocked that he and he is I thought

387
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: about that. We predicted before free agency he would be

388
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: the most overpaid player in the whole yeah, free agency market.

389
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true because he's a starting left tackle.

390
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's great at all. But I

391
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: think he's upgrade. So the possible deal that he says

392
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: here would be traded to the Jets. This would be

393
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: a swap of tackles who are out of favor with

394
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: their current teams. The Jets would send McKay Beckton to

395
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals for Williams. Beckton has played one game over

396
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: the past two seasons. Would require a lengthy physical, but

397
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: he looked like a franchise left tackle in twenty twenty.

398
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: He would get a shot on the right side for Cincinnati,

399
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: which is trying to get more physical upfront. Yeah, so

400
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: I think this is more of a Jets conversation. Yeah,

401
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: I mean, does Jonah Williams really move the needle for

402
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: the for the Jets? I don't think so. They just

403
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: have tackle issues because they can't trust back. I don't

404
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: think John Williams is a tackle. I don't either, and

405
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: they're good at guard. The Jets, Yeah, they have Tom,

406
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: They've spent money at guard. The thing about the Jets, though,

407
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: is almost every mock you see has them taking a

408
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: tackle with the first round pick, one of the top three,

409
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: if they don't trade it for Aaron Rodgers. Right, Which

410
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: is the hold up right now? Which is they want

411
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: the Packers want that first round pick, and the Jets

412
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: don't want to give it up, right, And obviously that's

413
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: a big deal. So question for you, and I think

414
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: it's an unanswerable question. Would you be interested in McKay

415
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: back then if you're the Steelers? And the reason I

416
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: think it's unanswerable is because we're not doctors. Yeah, I

417
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: don't know what he is. I mean, I don't know,

418
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: you know what that knee looks like. I have no

419
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: idea for a man that big to only play two

420
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: games in two years because of lower body injuries. We

421
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of saw it was Zach Banner again, a bigger guy.

422
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: Those guys healed differently than the little guys on the

423
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: because they've got a lot more weight from data on

424
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: the day to day a basis. On that knee, there's

425
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: much more pressure. No doubt about it if my doctors

426
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: liked them. I just think he's a potential buy low

427
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: because I don't think him and the Jets are ever

428
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: going to reconcile. I think it's it's by real though.

429
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I think you could probably get him from the Jets

430
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: right now for like a seventh round pick. I was

431
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: just like a four or five, you know, just to

432
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: get him off the books right right right now. I

433
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: think you could get them cheap, and that I would

434
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: be interested. Yeah, it would just depend on how much

435
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: money you want to take on. I don't even know

436
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: what he makes, but he's you know, he's still he

437
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: was a high first round draft pick. I'm sure he's

438
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: making a decent amount of money looking at it up

439
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: here as as we speak. But he signed a four year,

440
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: eighteen point four million dollar deal basically eighteen point five

441
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: So McKay Beckton for this year is slated to make

442
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: three point one million in base salary. Yeah, he plays

443
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: a free agent after this year. He's a free and

444
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: he's a free agent after this year. So you know

445
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: you're taken on that. That's a pretty big Like when

446
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers traded for William Jackson, he had a strong

447
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: track record of solid NFL play. Mh, this guy doesn't. No,

448
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: he has flashes, but two games and two years, two

449
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: games and two years. Yeah, so tackles are hard to find.

450
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: That's why I have some interest. But if my doctors

451
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: are like, this is a disaster work, it's gonna be

452
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: at my price, though I'm not. I'm not giving up

453
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: premium draft picks to go get this guy. I'm not

454
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: giving a third no, no for for a guy that

455
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, again, I don't know what that need is

456
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: going to be like. And the Jets that the I mean,

457
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: the Jets use a premium draft pick on him and

458
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: are giving up on him, right, That tells you a lot.

459
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: They don't better than anyone. And they yeah, they would

460
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: gladly trade him for JOHNA. Williams. Now, I think about

461
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: it absolutely. The question is with the with the Bengals

462
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: want Jonah Williams. That's with the Bengals want McKay Beckton.

463
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: That's the question played Colon's life too. You'd have to

464
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: have a position change. Yeah, yeah, that's not as easy

465
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: as everybody seems to think. I mean, I can see

466
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: them trading Jonah Williams the Jets for a third round

467
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: pick but not from a Kai bacting. Yeah, but anyways,

468
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: that's the that's the list from Bill Barnwell and some

469
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: other guys that we talked about, and well, you know,

470
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: we'll see, uh see how some of these things play out. Hey, Matt,
