1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lully here with Matt

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt We just went over the draft from

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: last year. According to NFL dot Com, they're also doing

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: a series here looking at each team specifically when it

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: comes to different positions. I thought this one was interesting. Uh.

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: They took a look at each team, Uh, at the

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver position heading into free agency and who who

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: needs receivers and who doesn't. And we know the Steelers

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: have three receivers headed for unrestricted free agency, Jujuice Smith, Schuster,

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: James Washington, and Ray Ray McLeod. Uh So obviously they're

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: a team that's going to be perhaps in the market

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: for a veteran wide receiver, perhaps in the market help

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: they can find something. Right round out the depth chart,

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna have five or at least at least

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: five and maybe six on the on the depth chart,

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: and right now they don't have that many. So they

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: classify these This is written by Kevin Potera or patro

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I should say, um, yeah, uh, he breaks these guys

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: that these the teams into groups here, and so his

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: first group as the team's are the teams that need

23
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: immediate help. Leading that list is the Atlanta Falcons. Russell

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: Gage is a free agent for people who don't know.

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: And Ridley, Yeah, he was so the only guy under

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: contract top pro wide receivers under contract for that's Calvin Ridley.

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Everybody else doesn't play football, right, yeah, who's not playing

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: very much. A similar situation to what the Steelers have

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: right now with Stefan to it right right, alright, similar

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: except there's a lot of trade rumors around. Uh you

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: know that maybe it's an of somewhere else, you know. Yeah,

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that you could trade for for Ridley

33
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: right now though, if you're another team, like without being

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: able to talk to him, you'd have to have a

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: long conversation with him or agents or whatever, you know.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta, isn't it that I say it's over

37
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: and over. I think they are really strong contention to

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: be the first pick of the draft next year. Yeah,

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to be awful. The

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: next team on his list are the Chicago Bears. The

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: guys they have under contractor Darnell Mooney and Daz Newsome,

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: their free agents, Allen Robinson, demere Bird, Marquis Goodwin, and

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: Jachim Grant. Their whole offenses like that. Yeah, they're they're

44
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: they're they're offensive line, they're like everywhere. Yeah, they have

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: like Commet and Montgomery and Fields and Mooney and that's

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, not surprisingly the Browns, Uh, they're top

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: guys under contractor Jervis Jervis Landry, Donovan Peoples, Jones, and

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Anthony schwartz Er. Shard Higgins is an unrestricted free agent,

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: and they're talking about potentially releasing Landry to create some

50
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: cap space because he's I think his contract is like

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. He counts against their cap this year. Yeah, oh,

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I think he's either a restructure or release almost guaranteed. Yeah,

53
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: he's he's got a fourteen point three million, non guaranteed

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: bass salary. Well, you're probably gonna move on from that.

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: He can't pay him fourteen point three million dollars. No,

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: not at his age and he's not a big play guy.

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean it could certainly be a restructure.

58
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: And the only receiver on their roster who got the

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: six hundred yards last year was people's jones, and he's

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: probably more of a two slash three. Yeah. I think

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: he was a nice fine in the late rounds, but

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: you know he can't be He's not He's not your

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: number one. And Schwartz isn't that kind of guy either.

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: They're both sort of similar in that they're both deep

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: threats and you know, big play guys. Yeah, two or

66
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: three catch a game guy at most. The Lions, not

67
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: surprisingly are on this list. They get him on straw

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: raw St Brown, Quintest Cifas at Trinity Benson other guys

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: under contract Calif Raymond, Josh Reynolds, and Caderrel Hodges are

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: all unrestricted free agents. I mean, I think st. Brown

71
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: is a real asset, you know, especially in his cost,

72
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: is a rookie and is a really good player. I

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: don't think what he did was lukey, but he also

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: benefited from Hawkinson and Swift being hurt and no other

75
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: receivers on the Rocks kind of had to they kind

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: of had to force it. Yeah, but they need a

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: deep threat. I mean, they need a six two guys

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: they can get down the field. Uh. The Houston Texans

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: are on a team, a team that's considered completely needy.

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: They get Cooks and Nico Collins, Chris Cornley, Danny m

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: and Dola and Chris Moore are not only all just guys,

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: but they're all free agents, right right, right, I mean

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: they signed a lot of dudes the one year deals

84
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: with this in mind. But Cook's a good player and

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I think Nico Collins is a keeper. Yeah, the cults

86
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: are on this list, and I can't argue with that

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: at all because underrated need. Yeah, Michael Pittman and Paris

88
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Campbell there're two guys that they have under contract. Paris

89
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Campbell can't stay healthy, hasn't it. He's played like six

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: games in three years. Uh t Y Hilton and Zack

91
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Pascal are unrestricted free agents. I don't know if Hilton

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: will be a football player this year. Yeah, I think

93
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I think he might be done. Pascal is kind of

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: an underrated guy, but he's gonna it's gonna be the

95
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: right fit. Uh. He's not a speed guy. He's more

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: of a moved the Chaine guy. Um. But but he's

97
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: a three year of four and right, I mean to me,

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: Pittman's are really good too, and right, but yeah, they

99
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: need something to go over top of all those guys. Yeah, Jacksonville, Um,

100
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: they had a lot of guys by they'd be really

101
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: might be the first on my list here. They got Marvin,

102
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Laviska Chennault d j R. Lakwan Treadwell

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: and Tavon Austin are unrestricted. Uh, nobody got open for

104
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: Lawrence last year. Lakwan Treadwell and Tavon Austin should I

105
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: mean those those guys aren't even NFL players, No, very right,

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean they're not. They don't see the field for teams, right,

107
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: even with injuries, Charcoal get some play in free agency.

108
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he'll be back with

109
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. But yeah, so ult might be good. But

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: they used them unbelievably poorly and he did nothing last year. Yeah,

111
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staff for him, we'll see. The Dolphins are

112
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: surprisingly on this list. They got jen Jalen Waddle and

113
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: Davante Parker under contract, but Albert Wilson, will Fuller, Mac

114
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Collins and Preston Williams. Williams is a restrictive free agents. Yeah,

115
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: but that's four sixth of their receiving corps and either

116
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: get sick. He's also an unrestricted free agent, but they

117
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: have two top guys. I mean the way it's kind

118
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: of like the Steelers a little bit, right, but it

119
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me to see them. They have to add

120
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: that they can't go into the season with two wide receivers.

121
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: That's maybe even a reasonably high asset. I mean there

122
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: could be and get Sky never lines up in line either,

123
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: I mean he's a receiver. The Patriots are, of course

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: on this list. They got Kendrick Born, Nelson Aguilard Nikil

125
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Harry are the guys under contract. Both Jacoby Myers and

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: gunnerl Schefski are restricted, so they the buyers will be

127
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: back and they still want to get rid of They

128
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: want to do something with the Kiel Harry. That was

129
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: a bad draft pick to begin with, um, but they

130
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: didn't spend their money while last year either, obviously on

131
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: these tight ends and receivers. I will say Born is

132
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: better than I thought, though he's not. I mean there's

133
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: there's a place for him. Yeah, they need a one too,

134
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: though they need a one badly. The Saints have Michael

135
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: Thomas and Marquez Callaway under contract, of course, counting on

136
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas to play next year's a bit of a

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: leap of faith. Uh. Their key free agents are Deonte Harris,

138
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: Trey Kwon Smith they avoided his contract, Kenny Stills, Little

139
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Humphrey is restricted. Boy. The receiver play last year

140
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: was as bad as any is atrocious, that's really bad.

141
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: And Thomas you get traded or dumped her. I mean

142
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: he's really expensive and yeah, it's super I don't I

143
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: don't think he's tradeable. Not right now. He's making like

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty eight or something like that a year.

145
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Washington is the final team. On the teams, they have McLaurin, Curtis, Samuel,

146
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: and Diamie Brown under contract. Adam Humphries, DeAndre Carter, and

147
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: Cam Sims are all unrestricted. I don't know that i'd

148
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: have them on the list. I mean, I know Samuel

149
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: no one likes anymore because he got hurt, but they

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: gave him good money and he's gonna be back and

151
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: he'll be in the mix. That on me. Brown, you know,

152
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: I like him coming out of school, and I think

153
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: Florence a star. The teams in the next year are

154
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: at a piece or two or three. Okay, the Cardinals

155
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: lead that list. They have Hopkins, Ron del Moore and

156
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella, who they don't seem to like under contract

157
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: for the free agents are Christian Kirk, A J. Green,

158
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: and Antoine Leslie Wesley, who's actually an exclusive rights free agents,

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: so he should be one of the guys that's listed

160
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: as being under contract because he's not going anywhere. They

161
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: play a lot of four receiver sets too, you know

162
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: that they have a little more of a demand there. Yeah,

163
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: same thing with the next team, the Buffalo Bills. They

164
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: have Steffon dig Gabriel Davis, and Cole Beasley under contract. Beasley, though,

165
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: is making a ton of money for a guy who

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: you know is an eight yard to catch the kind

167
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: of guy he could be a yeah. Uh. They're key

168
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: free agents are Emmanuel Sanders and Isaiah Mackenzie. But Mackenzie

169
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: is restricted, isn't he No, he's unrestricted. Okay, I assumed

170
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: he would be back. Maybe not. He's interested. Yeah, um,

171
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: so you know again, they play a lot of four

172
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: receiver sets. You need to get add to that group.

173
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are are a team that's an interesting Yeah.

174
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: The guys under contract are Ceedee Lamb and a Mariray Cooper,

175
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: but a Mariy Cooper's contract is and they're really cash drap.

176
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: There's they're up against the cap and they need create

177
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: some space. Um and you can't pay Mary Cooper that

178
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of money. You just can't. They have that. Their

179
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: free agents are Michael Gallup, Cedric Wilson, Noah Brown, and

180
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Malik Turner. Um. Now Gallops coming off of a severe

181
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: knee injury. I don't know what kind of market he'll

182
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: get on the open. But Wilson plays good player. Yeah,

183
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: he made some plays for them. So it's interesting to

184
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: see what they do because again, they're a team that

185
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: is built around that offense and they're up against the cap.

186
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: It's a very underrated need. Yeah, I mean they're first Wie,

187
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: I picked my peer receiver. I've never seen that mocked

188
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: at all, you know. Yeah. Yeah, Cooper's do his his

189
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: base salaries twenty million dollars and it's not guaranteed. I

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: mean you could that's that's that's some space you could

191
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: create right there. I don't think it's a trade for

192
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: him that price. To me, the Packers should have been

193
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: on that upper group. They should have been in the

194
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: group at needs wide receivers. They're only guys under contract

195
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: for next year. A Randall Cobbin, Marie Rogers Cobbs didn't

196
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: get cut the Cobbs. YEA Cobb's done, uh so. Davante

197
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: Adams is an unrestricted free agent, Alan Lazard is a

198
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: restricted free agent, Marquis Valdez Scantling is unrestricted, Equinomy Empiconamius st.

199
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Brown is unrestricted, and Malik Taylor is an exclusive rights guy.

200
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: Even if they tender Lazard, and there again they're another

201
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: team that's over the cap, they're going to either have

202
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: to franchise Tag Adams, which is gonna cost him a

203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: bunch of money. We're signed him to a long term contract,

204
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: which again is going to cost him a lot of money. Um,

205
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna let Valda Scantling walk. You can't go

206
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: into next season with the Marie Rodgers and Alan Lazard

207
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: and Malik Taylor as you're as your your guys. You

208
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: just can't know. I mean, and Adams might be the

209
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: best receiver in the league, and I thought receiver was

210
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: a weakness with them last year, you know what I mean.

211
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the reason why Aaron Rodgers

212
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: is set rattling the sabers Away is there because like, look,

213
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: get me somebody. Yeah, the Chiefs are on this list.

214
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: They have Tyreek Hillman or Tyreek hill McCool. Hartman kind

215
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: of merged those two names together, and Josh Gordon are

216
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: their guys under contract with Josh Gordon, I don't think

217
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be back with them, Hartman's even in

218
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: the long term plans. Yeah. Byron Pringle and DeMarcus Robinson

219
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: are both unrestricted. Might make some money. Yeah yeah, Um

220
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: so that could be their first round pick. Could be

221
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: a receiver too, Yeah, it could be. To me, the

222
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Raiders should have been in that upper group, agreed. Renfroze

223
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: a really good player and Edwards has some promise. But Jones,

224
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: y z A Jones and Shaan Jackson are both unrestricted. Yeah.

225
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: So you've got two guys who are NFL players under contract,

226
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: and one of them is Edwards who really hasn't broken

227
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: out yet. No, he's been a little disappointing, to be honest.

228
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: And there I forget what the Bers were, but their

229
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: yards per play with them without rugs and not that

230
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: rugs is awesome. We're like a yard a half difference.

231
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean it was massive. Yeah, he plays a role

232
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: to open those other guys up. The Chargers are here.

233
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: They've got Keenan Allen and Josh Palmer under contract. Mike

234
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: Williams is obviously unrestricted, and then Ja link Giton is

235
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: an exclusive rights free agent. Um, these are a lot

236
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: of teams that only have like two receivers under contract. Yeah,

237
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's a big list. Talked about

238
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: it the other day. I mean of the league is

239
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: headed for unrestrictive free agency. Yeah, I mean that's essentially

240
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: twenty guys on every roster. And I assume at this position,

241
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: teams realize I could draft one in the third round

242
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: basically every year and have someone under contract for the

243
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: four years. You know, like it's an easy position to

244
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: find someone that will help in, you know, get meaningful

245
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: snaps as a rookie. Yeah. Uh. The Giants are are

246
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: next on the list. They've got They've got Kenny goll

247
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Day to Darius Tony Sterling Shepherd and Darius Slayton under

248
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: contract for two which you look at and go, Okay,

249
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: that's one thing they're good at, right, except none of

250
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: them can stay on the field. John Ross and Dante

251
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Pettis are both unrestricted. Wow, and Shepherds of potential cap

252
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: cut because his injury is so bad, you know, like

253
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: he he may not play for anyone next year. Holiday

254
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: was like the worst contract in the league. And we

255
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: talked about Yeah, we talked about Tony last segment really dynamic,

256
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: but he had like two good games. Yeah, I don't

257
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: know what you do with that group. The Jets have

258
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Elijah More, Corey Davis, and Denzel Mims under contract. Keelan Cole,

259
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, and Braxton Barrios are all unrestricted. I've seen

260
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: them mocked with their two picks, one of them being

261
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: a receiver here and there. I don't think I would

262
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: go that route. I just think Elijah Moore as a star.

263
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: But I mean they're they're a little like Mims. They

264
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: used it for a second round pick on Mims. Has

265
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: worked at all? Hasn't worked? Yeah, Corey Davis, they spent

266
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: money on um, you know, a lot. Yeah, I think

267
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: it's some injuries. I mean, he looks like a two though,

268
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: and they're paying him like a one. Well again, you know,

269
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the Titans took him fifth overall. I mean, the guy

270
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: has been consistently overdrafted, are overpaid in his career. Um

271
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles DeVante Smith, Quaz Watkins, and Jalen Reagor. Greg

272
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Ward is a restricted free agent, so I think they

273
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: need a starter. I think they need Drake London. Yeah,

274
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't have a DeVante Smith is flying.

275
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: I just don't know how important passing the football is

276
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to them. That's that's interesting is how how will they

277
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: value it? Yeah. I've often mentioned that I would I

278
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: would take a receiver with one of their three first

279
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: round picks, but he better be someone that's much different

280
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: than Smith, you know, size wise, and we'll block on

281
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: the perimeter. Yeah, because Watkins and Watkins can fly. Yeah,

282
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: let's little. Yeah, he's little. Ragor's just hasn't he has

283
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: been bad Um and Smith is Smith is small. I

284
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: wonder if, like Ragor Mims, I think it traded on

285
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: draft Day for a fifth round pick, you know what

286
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean. Just get him in a different location and

287
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: see what happens. A couple of those type of guys

288
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: that look like bus. Not surprisingly, the Steelers are on

289
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: this list. The Aunt Johnson and Chase Claypool under contract,

290
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: James Washington, Juju Smith, Schuester, rayraym McCloud all unrestricted. This

291
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: is why we started talking about this a month ago.

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: That receiver is kind of an underrated potential first round

293
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: draft pick for the Steelers. Yeah, and I never dawned

294
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: on me until you brought it up either. And when

295
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: you said it, I'm like, I don't know about that

296
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: one do And then you sit there and think, and

297
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, you brought you sighted Jamar Chase and they're

298
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: not going to add Jamar Chase the team. But if

299
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: an impact guy justin Jefferson went in that neighborhood, you know,

300
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: if Garrett Wilson's there or Drake London, and all of

301
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, wow, this this team is hard

302
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: to defend. It's a pretty dynamic group. Yeah. So you know,

303
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: I think you had you do have to keep replenishing

304
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: that because the cost of you know, people are talking

305
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: about Deante Johnson potentially wanting fifteen million dollars a year

306
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: and Steeler fans are going nuts about that. Well, that's

307
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: the going rate for a receiver. It is probably even

308
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that for a receiver of

309
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: his talent. Absolutely, I mean he's gonna be very expensive. Yeah,

310
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: And then you look at Claypool, and people are unhappy

311
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: with Claypools production, even though it was essentially the same

312
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: as it had been as a rookie um except for

313
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. But you could add to that. I mean,

314
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at what the Bengals had

315
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: going into till last year, and we talked about this

316
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: a lot, I thought they made their wrong move drafting Chase.

317
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Turns out, you know, maybe that was the right move.

318
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: But they had They had Higgins who looked like he's

319
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: he could be a number one, and you have Boyd

320
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, they're they're pretty set there. Well,

321
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: you play a lot of eleven personnel, use three of them,

322
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and more and more. I'm thinking adding a

323
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: dynamic weapon is never a bad idea. I mean, even

324
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: at the cost of not having a great guard or

325
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I mean there's always a cost. But boy,

326
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: this league is weapon driven right now. Yeah, it really is,

327
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: and I think you better be good there. Uh. The

328
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: next list is bigger fish to fry. So these are

329
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: teams that that probably don't have a big need at

330
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver. The Ravens lead that one, but I don't

331
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: know what their receivers are. It's Marquis Brown, Rashad Bateman,

332
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Devin Daverny and James Prochet. There's not a number one

333
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: receiver in that group. I think Bateman has the chance

334
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: to be really good. I would not consider Bateman. I

335
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: would not, especially with the Andrews being such a contributor.

336
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: I would not consider wide receiver a need. I don't.

337
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a need for them, but I

338
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: think it's still something that they absolutely need to upgrade

339
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: in terms of talent. I hear you. I have a

340
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of hope for Bateman, though. I think da Verne

341
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: and and Proche are just guys. No, they're just slot

342
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: guys that are Yeah, they're not. And I think the

343
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: boy Can train has kind of left the station too.

344
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, the Panthers are on this list. They

345
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: got DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson, Terrace Marshall and Shy Smith

346
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: under contract for next year. Was disappointing, but that's not

347
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: too bad. That's not too bad. The Broncos obviously on

348
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: this list. They had Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, Tim Patrick,

349
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, although him was coming back off a major

350
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: injury as his Judy really I mean, he didn't play

351
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: a lot last year. But not a bad group. No,

352
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: that's a good gum group, A first contract guys. Basically, Yeah,

353
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: the Rams have Cooper cup Van, Jefferson, Robert Woods, and

354
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: Ben Scronic under contract. Odell Beckham is understricted, and Brandon

355
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Poal was unrestricted. I bet they I'll bet you they

356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: are still in the market for a wide receiver. I'm

357
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: not so sure that Woods will be back either. Right,

358
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I think. I think they'd love to

359
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: bring Odell back, right, but at what price? And they

360
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know how much you know they're against they're up against. Yeah,

361
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: they're up against a salary cap and don't have any

362
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: draft picks, right right, Yeah, they don't pick until run three, right? Four? Maybe? Right?

363
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: The vikings of Justin Jefferson, Adam Feeling, K j Osborne,

364
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: A Mere Smith, Marsett, D. D. Westbrook is an unrestricted

365
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: free agent. Um. That's a pretty good group, it is.

366
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer you're gonna get high

367
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: production out of Theeling, right, but they're paying him so right, right,

368
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: right they go. I bet they do other things this

369
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: year and address it next year. The forty Niners only

370
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: have Deebo Samuel and Brandon Ayook under contract. Now, those

371
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: those two are two pretty good young rodd receivers. It's

372
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: kind of like Steelers. But they could certainly add to that.

373
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean Trent Sheriff Sherfield one. Jennings is exclusive rights,

374
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: so he's probably back. Mohammed Sanu is unrestricted, Travis Benjamin

375
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: is unrestricted. So I can see them they get a

376
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: sign at least one or two, I would think, so. Yeah,

377
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean, not a high need for them. But and

378
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: they don't play a lot of multiple receiver sets too.

379
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, what the way they put Debo

380
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: in Harm's way though, I mean that it has to

381
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: be it has to be a concern. I mean, if

382
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: they could add another guy kind of like him, sure

383
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: certainly a weapon. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. No. But

384
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: it's just amazes me when we get through this list,

385
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: there's so many teams with just like two guys under contract. Yea,

386
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have Lockett Metcalf, Freddy Swain, and Dwayne Eskridge

387
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: under contract. Uh, They're probably not in the market for

388
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. They have other things to do everything.

389
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: The Titans, they need receivers A J. Brown, Julio Jones,

390
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: and does Fitzpatrick under contract. Fitzpatrick did nothing last year

391
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: midground pick and yeah, I don't count on Julio at all.

392
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook A Kina is an exclusive rights guy already, Wow,

393
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: he'll probably he'll probably be back Chester Rogers is unrestricted.

394
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: I see that as more of a need for Like

395
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: Julio's gave them nothing this year. See a lot of

396
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: these teams. I factor in the tight end to like

397
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: we just talked about San Francisco. Well, it'll could be

398
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: the leading receiver the Titans. They might have the worst

399
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: site end room in the league. Right, Yeah, I agree. Um,

400
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and the running back doesn't catch bass and

401
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: the running back doesn't catch The Buccaneers have Mike Evans,

402
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson, Jalen Darden, Scottie Miller, and Cril Grayson under contract.

403
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: Chris Gobwin is unrestricted, Brashad Perriman is unrestricted. They need another.

404
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be able to address it.

405
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: But guys like Johnson and Watson and those guys are

406
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: okay as the threes. But all of a sudden, Mike

407
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Evans is getting a ton of attention. They're probably a

408
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: little they're probably a little bit better with Tom Brady

409
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: throwing football too. Absolutely, And speaking of the tight end rooms,

410
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: O j Powered and Gronk or free agents and I

411
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: think break is as well. Yeah, so they got they

412
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: got some stuff that work to do. The best trio

413
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Well, the Bengals are on that. They've

414
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: got Chase Higgins and Boyd All under contract, but Alden

415
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Tate and Mike Thomas are both unrestricted. Okay, yeah, they'll

416
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: probably use a fifth round pick on our receiver like

417
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: that though. Yeah, So that's that's the list. That's the

418
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: teams that are wide receiver needy going into league. Pretty

419
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: much everybody in the league could use somebody. So when

420
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: you start, you start looking at that and saying, well,

421
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, with the Steelers draft one, absolutely, that's the

422
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: cheaper way to do it. That's what they have done

423
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: almost every year. They take one pretty high, worked out

424
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: really well. You just keep replenishing that group. You know,

425
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: last year was really the first year in several that

426
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. Mhm. And in this league, especially

427
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: in this town, now all of a sudden, you got

428
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: three guys are all unrestricted at the same time, so

429
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: receiver becomes a much bigger need. There's a lot that

430
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a huge pool to you know, to go shopping

431
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: in though, you know, I mean there's like ninety guys

432
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: at that position that are unrestricted free agents that have

433
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: played could have played significant snaps in the league. So

434
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to watch. I'm curious what the Allen

435
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: Robinson's will make. You know, guys that have a ward now,

436
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: like god do don't make good money. But I mean

437
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: him and Galloper are injured too, Like even the top

438
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: free agents all have a question, right, Yeah, so it's

439
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna be uh that that market. Even even a guy

440
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: like Juju Smith Schuster, well he played in the playoffs,

441
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: but he wasn't and are you gonna pay him? You know,

442
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: I know he wants he wants big money in a

443
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: long term deal. He's not gonna get it, but I

444
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get it, right, And as always,

445
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: it's a deep and robust rookie class coming in. Yeah,

446
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: as always, next year will be too, you know, they're

447
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: happy the case every year. That's just a position that

448
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: seems to keep replenishing itself at the collegian at level,

449
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: so um, we'll see where that goes, but we're gonna

450
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: take another break. He is Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lally.

451
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's time for our pre NFL

452
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: scouting combine mock draft. We'll do that right after this
