Speaker 1: going down. Appreciate you. Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast.

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: And we got another big splash this off season. Mike

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Evans to the San Francisco forty nine Ers. This is

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: a move that I thought made a lot of sense

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways for both sides. But I

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: wasn't sure Mike Evans would ever leave Tampa Bay. And

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: the conversations with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch must have

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: been fantastic because he's a San Francisco forty nine er

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: now three year, six million dollars up to sixty million

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: dollars deal for a true X receiver, a future Hall

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: of Famer, a guy that can change the complexity of

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: a game and a heartbeat, a guy that you could

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: put a fifty to fifty ball up to and he

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: make a play, runs the entire route. Treat a true

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: X receiver sixty five two thirty aggressive, a great blocker,

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: a great teammate. If you think about it, on the field,

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be a fantastic addition, a safety blanket

23
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: for brock Perdy. I mean, I would have guess he's

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: getting on hundred and twenty targets this season. Fingers cross

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: he stays totally healthy. But a bona fide one number

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: one receiver. Guy who can win win one on one matchups,

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: winning man coverage, a guy who has dealt with double

28
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: double teams, a smart player, a guy that can be

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a mentor for this young receiver group. An incredible leader,

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: an incredible, consummate professional. He's gonna if he if he's healthy,

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna practice, He's gonna practice hard. He's gonna do

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: things the right way. He's gonna help guys that ask

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: him for help. He's gonna show guys how to do

34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: things off the field. I mean, they're not just bringing

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: in a great player and a Hall of Fame player,

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: but a hall of fame all around well rounded guy

37
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: and human being. And I think that's what's gonna make

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: this such a great addition to the San Francisco fort nine.

39
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: As you'll see the results on the field, but off

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: the field and the impact that he has on these

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: young receivers is gonna be immense, And that's something I

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: really look forward to seeing. How many more go balls?

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Is fifty to fifty go balls? Is brock Purty gonna

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: put up? I would guess that number is gonna double,

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: no question about that. Are they going to make another

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: splash in this this offseason with this with these receivers,

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: could they potentially pursue a guy like Shahid, a deep threat,

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: a speed guy to partner with with Mike Evans and

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Ricky Pursaul Potentially, I think that's that's something that I

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: would expect them to at least kick the kick the

51
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: tie on. But again, this is a huge, huge deal

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine ers, getting a true

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: number one receiver who can do it all, who can

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: do it all, who can take the top off the defense,

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: who can run the intermediate routes, who can live in

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and and and take big hits. Uh.

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: He could be a run that one after catch guy

58
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: at times. If he if he catches a lane, he

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: can he can get you a first down running slants. Uh.

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: He uses his body well. I mean, this is just

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: a guy who's done it. I mean, for him to

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: have so many consecutive thousand yard seasons. The only other

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: guy he's tied with Jerry Rice. The forty nine are

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: all time great, the all the goat at the receiver position.

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: And for him now to to call San Francisco home,

66
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: it's really cool. Now. The question I have is what

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: number is he gonna wear? Because he's not gonna wear

68
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: thirteen obviously, I brock Party has Thirteen's gonna be three?

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be eleven? He's gonna stay in the teens.

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Is he going to go into the eighties. I don't

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: see Mike going into the eighties, but I could be wrong.

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: But that's another big question. Is he gonna be I

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: mean two? Is three? Four? Non paneroes four? I don't know.

74
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's gonna do with his number,

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: but I know this is gonna help the San Francisco

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: forty nine ers immensely in this again arms race in

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: the NFC West and on the other side of the coin.

78
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to talk about Eddie Panero, Panero

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: getting secured a four year deal, what he did this season,

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: coming in a guy who had been kind of out

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: of the mix for a while. Was a fantastic pickup,

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: almost perfect this season for the San Francisco forty nine ers.

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: That's great. We're still waiting for a lot of the

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: other dominoes to fall. But on the flip side, the

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks are having themselves in all season, both retaining

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: guys like Josh Job, who just got retained for eight

87
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. I thought that was a phenomenal

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: keep a guy that was essential to the defense they run.

89
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: They leave him backside a lot of times. He does

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a great job in both man and man zone coverage,

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: has great zone instincts, great man instincts, great press. It

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: is fine being isolated one on one when it's a

93
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: three by one and they have man and man backside

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and the safety's rolling away. He does a fantastic job.

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: And I thought, even for eight million dollars, that's a bargain.

96
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: That's a bargain for a guy of Josh Job's talent

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: and the way he played this season. So that's a

98
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: huge keep for the Seattle Seahawks. But they do lose

99
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: K nine. They lose the Super Bowl MVP, which is

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: something I predicted because of the number that he was

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: going to get to. I thought that other teams like

102
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs would be higher on him and

103
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: have a higher number. And he gets what I believe

104
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: is the highest per year for a free agent running

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: back in the history of the National Football League at

106
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year, three for forty five. And

107
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: he deserves it. He deserves it, and he's gonna go

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: out there and do fantastic for the Chiefs. And I

109
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: think the Seattle Seahawks will be fine. I don't think

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna be something that is incredibly detrimental to

111
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: what they have going. I think this is a situation

112
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: where where what's best for both sides kind of happened.

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: You know, Could the Seattle Seahawks maintain and and and

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: keep all the guys that they're gonna have to pay

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Witherspoon and and JS and and all the rest of

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: the guys they are gonna have to shell out some

117
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: money to and keep K nine. I don't think they would.

118
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: So I think they they took the lesser of these

119
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: evils and said, hey, K nine, this is what we

120
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: can offer you if you can go out there and

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: get a huge bag, then congratulations, we love You'll You'll

122
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: be a Seahawks for life. You'll be a Super Bowl

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: MVP with the Seattle Seahawks for the rest of your life,

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a beautiful thing. But I don't

125
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: think they wanted to prohibit him from going out there

126
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: and getting them, you know, getting his bag, which is

127
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: what he did. I think they'll be able to find

128
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: an explosive running back that they feel comfortable about. I

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: think they feel good about Zach Sharburney and him coming

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: back into the fold, obviously coming off an injury, but

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: I think what he would doing throughout this season is

132
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: something they felt really good about. And I think another

133
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: piece of them losing Kobe Bryant is a little bit

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: more detrimental than I would like. But I feel like, again,

135
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: this is a storm they feel like they could weather.

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Kobe winning got his three for forty million dollars with

137
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, and that's a big time congratulations to him.

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: He deserves it. He's a fantastic player, a fantastic human being,

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: and a guy that will go out there and continue

140
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: to shine. But again, I think this is a situation

141
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: where even when guys go other places, I don't think

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: this is a situation where there's bad blood either way.

143
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I think the organization wants the best for these guys,

144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and coming off a Super Bowl win, the positive energy

145
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: is to the max. And I think everybody tries to

146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: get paid and there's only so much money that can

147
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: go around, and you got to keep the important pillar pieces.

148
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: You got to keep the foundational pieces to your organization

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: and guys that have helped you get here you appreciate.

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: But you also got to understand that, hey, can we

151
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: draft a guy? Do we have a guy in the

152
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: in the cut, in our backups that could potentially do

153
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: the job at a similar level. And I think the

154
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks feel good about it. You know, when he got

155
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: hurt and was out for a while, Tayakata came in

156
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and played at a high level, really really kept this

157
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: defense going and was flying around. And I think that

158
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: was an important part of this decision. Not that they

159
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't have wanted to pay Kobe, you know, his his

160
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: what he's due, but could they pay him and keep

161
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: the guys that they needed to keep. They're gonna have

162
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: to pay high dollar numbers for JSN. I would guess

163
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna approach forty million dollars, and I think the

164
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: same is true for Devin Witherspoon. He's gonna be thirty

165
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: one million dollars. And if you look at what the

166
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Rams just did again, it's an arms race in NFC

167
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: right now. They traded for Trent McDuffie a couple first

168
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of picks, a first round pick, a fifth

169
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: of six. I mean, we talked about it the other day,

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: and then went on and paid him over one hundred

171
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. He's at averaging thirty one million

172
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: dollars per season with this new deal with the Rams,

173
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: which is incredibly huge. I mean, that's that's a monumental deal.

174
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: So congratulations to him, Friend of the program again. Then

175
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: they go on and pick up Jalen Watson, who was

176
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: the running mate of Trent McDuffie in Kansas City, and

177
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: pay him what appears to be seventeen million dollars a year.

178
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: So you bring in two new corners who haven't played

179
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: it down for you, who have been fantastic players and

180
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: played fantastic in big games. Two times Super Bowl champion

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Watson and then you inject him into this Rams

182
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: defense with a really great and aggressive pass rush. They're

183
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: going to play a lot of man coverage. I'm sure

184
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Chris Schula is excited about this. We heard rumblings and

185
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: rumors that Tarik Woolan may be an option and there

186
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: may be interest there. I don't think that would be

187
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: the case anymore after paying these two guys, unless he's

188
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: you're paying him, unless you're gonna pay another corner over

189
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars, which I highly doubt. But we'll see

190
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: what this move looks like. I mean, this is this

191
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: is great. This is gonna be a really formidable Rams

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: defense along with a really aggressive, impotent offense. Obviously, this

193
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: same team made the NFC Championship last year, and we're

194
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: a few plays away from winning that game. But the

195
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks did more than enough to win that game,

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: and they're the reigning Super Bowl champion, So the Rams

197
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: are feeling like they have to keep up in this division.

198
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Then you got the San Francisco forty nine ers, not

199
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: only bringing in Mike Effans but just getting healthier. They

200
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Fred Warner's back, Nicholas john Bosa is back, and I'm

201
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: hearing trade rumors and people call them for Fred Warner.

202
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure the forty nine ers are picking up the phone,

203
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's a trade that is likely.

204
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: This organization loves Fred Warner and loves what he means

205
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: to this organization. I think they want him to be

206
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a forty nine Er for life. Crazier things have happened,

207
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: no question about it, but I don't think that is

208
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: something at the forefront of their mind unless it's an

209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: offer that just really blows them away. I mean, you're

210
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about two to three first round picks, like something

211
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: ridiculously incredible that you could not say no to. And

212
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't see John Lynch making that deal because of

213
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: what Fred Warner means to this defense. He's the heart

214
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: of this defense and you could just see it. Last

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: year was a perfect example. When he was not a

216
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: part of it, it was hard to find turnovers, it

217
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: was hard to find stops, it was hard to find

218
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: the kind of consistency that they've been accustomed to. So

219
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't see that changing. But I'm loving this arms

220
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: race I'm seeing from the NFC West. Another huge trait

221
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: that happened this offseason is Max mad Max Max Crosby

222
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: going to the Baltimore Ravens to help solidify that defense.

223
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a great move for both sides. Obviously,

224
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders are in rebuilt mode with a new staff

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out. They're having a pretty good

226
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: offseason signing some guys. They just signed Tyler Linnenbaum to

227
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid offensive line contracts in the

228
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: history of the league. I think they gave him eighty

229
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: one million dollars. They signed Tyler al Jear, So they're

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: they're they're starting to to to inject a little bit

231
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: of talent on that side. But I think for the Ravens,

232
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: this is this is a win now mode. This is

233
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: strengthening already strong defense and saying hey, we're we're we're

234
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a force to be reckoned with. Baltimore Ravens

235
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: have been known for their defense for a long time,

236
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: and obviously they have talent on the other side of

237
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: the ball with with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. But

238
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Max Crosby is a game changer on the other side.

239
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: And if you just look at that division, I'd hate

240
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in that division. You're talking about

241
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. With the Cleveland Browns, you're talking about Max Crosby.

242
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Now with the Ravens, you don't have Trey Hendrickson anymore.

243
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: But then you're talking about t J. Watt uh And

244
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: and the boys over there in Pittsburgh, it's murderers Row.

245
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: And if you're Joe Burrow, you're like, oh, I mean

246
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: you might want to start thinking about taking a little

247
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: less to get you a little bit more protection, Joe.

248
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. You might want to start considering

249
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: your health. Your health, that's all I'm saying. This has

250
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: been a great offseason. What's happening in Miami is interesting.

251
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: It looks like they're going to cut to a tongue

252
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: of Iloa, which was obvious with the new staff and

253
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: all this, But how much money they owe him is

254
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this dead money stuff is starting to

255
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna pay him fifty million dollars a year to

256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: go away. I mean, it's bad. And then you hear

257
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: the rumors that the Atlanta Falcons are interested in to

258
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: a tongue of Ailoa, and I just it's hard for

259
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: me to understand the interest and the god that another

260
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: team is paying fifty million dollars to go away. But

261
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: I especially with the way the quarterback situation has been

262
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta over the last couple of years, you lose

263
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: your head coach and your general manager because the way

264
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation was dealt with, and to walk back

265
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: in that, I don't want any part of it. But

266
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, to a tongue of Iloa is

267
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: a good guy and has found a way to play

268
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: at a high level in this league at times, and

269
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: maybe a change of scenery would be good for him.

270
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: But I think if they were that interested, then maybe

271
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Miami would have been able to navigate a trade that

272
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: might have helped them salary cap wise if that was

273
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: the case. But you know, we'll see how this free

274
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: agency pans out. But right now, I think this is

275
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: a fantastic move for the San Francisco forty nine ers,

276
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: getting them a true number one receiver in Mike Evans. Obviously,

277
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: all the chaos around the Brandon Ayuk situation, they're getting

278
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: away from that and starting to find some consistency and

279
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: just calmness about this situation. I think he's gonna be

280
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: a June first cut from what I understand about what

281
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: they've been saying publicly about the Brandon Ayuk situation. I

282
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: think this helps Ricky Pursall. I think this helps George Kittle.

283
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: I think this helps the San Francisco forty nine ers

284
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: in general. As always, we're gonna keep giving you free

285
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: agency news as it comes up. Stay tuned, stay with

286
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: us all off season long, because this is gonna be fun.

287
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait and hit that's up. But if you

288
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: knew
