Appreciate you. Welcome back to the Richard 7 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: Truman Podcast. We got to talk about this Trent McDuffie 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: trade to the Rams. The Kansas City Chiefs traded Trent 9 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: mcduffy to the Rams for a first round pick, a 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: fifth round pick, a sixth round pick, and a third 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: round pick in twenty twenty seven. Ssh. I wasn't expecting 12 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: a corner to go for such a haul right now, 13 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: but he is an All Pro in twenty twenty three 14 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: and a second team All Pro in twenty twenty four 15 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: with three career picks. I just I think that price 16 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: tag is a bit hot. It feels like the Rams 17 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: kind of reached right here for a great player. Now. 18 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: This is a great player, and obviously the NFC West 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: right now is an arms race, and the Rams want 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: to keep up with the Seattle Seahawks. They were this 21 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: close to making it to a Super Bowl and they 22 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: think this Trip McDuffie trade gets them over the top. 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: They think they are in a win now mode and 24 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: they have to stay competitive in this very very competitive 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: NFC West or they're doing everything they can. Obviously, they've 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: traded away a lot of first round picks in the 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: last ten years. I think the only time they didn't 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: trade or way the first round pick is when they 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: drafted Jared Verse. But that seems like a bit much. 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: I would have thought you could get Trip McDuffie for 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: a first round pick, maybe the twenty twenty seven to 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: third like and that's it. But apparently they they wanted 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: to make sure they got this deal done. We'll see 34 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: how it ends up panning out. But for the Kansas 35 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, I think that this puts them in in 36 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: a kind of a rebuild mode. Maybe they don't expect 37 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to get back in time this season. They 38 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: think they're gonna use this season to maybe rebuild and 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: retool their roster, and these draft picks will go a 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: long way to getting them to that also freeze up 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: some money for them to spend other places, to retain 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: some guys, uh, to maybe pay some guys for for 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, more pass rushers. They got a secure and 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: this offensive line and strengthen this offensive line for sure. 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: Again they're gonna be in the running back market. We 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: talked about them being in the in the Canine sweepstakes. 47 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: So the NFL free agency is starting off. I mean 48 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: it's starting off fast. It's it's starting off with a moves. 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: And you guys tell me what you think of this move. 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: I think that the Rams gave up a lot to 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: get Trent McDuffie. Not that he's not worth it. I 52 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: think he's a great player in the National Football League. 53 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: That's not to be argued to be debating, but that's 54 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: quite the hall But cool. Cool, you guys talk about 55 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: that in the comments. You tell me what you think, 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: send me your thoughts. And in other NFL news, it 57 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: appears that Trey Hendrickson and Kyler Murray will be free 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: agents this offseason. Both teams confirmed they're not using the 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: franchise tags on those players. Now, Trey Hendrickson is going 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: to be a sought after name this offseason. Cut the 61 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers being the running, Could the 62 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks be in the running. I think both teams 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: inquired on trading for him at different times and different points. 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: So I think those conversations are going to be had. 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: But I think it also all depends on how the 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: bidding war goes for Trey Hendrickson. If it gets too high, 67 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: I think those two teams get out of it. If 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: he wants a chance to win a Super Bowl, uh, 69 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: and and that's what's important to him, and winning and 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: not money is the most important thing to him, then 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some great conversations with some 72 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: contenders uh that that you know he may have a 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: chance to go to. I think those two would be 74 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: the beginning of the discussions. Obviously, you can't can't count 75 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: out how we uh in Philadelphia. He always seems to 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: figure out a way to put together some incredible teams 77 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: and put together some incredible deals. Uh. Again the Rams, 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: no matter how deep you are at the D line, 79 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: you can always be deeper. Uh. And you know how 80 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: the NFC West is right now, They're going to continue 81 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: to to to play that game. Uh. I think the 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers obviously spending a lot of money on 83 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: the D line right now, But how do you feel 84 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: about adding somebody else who can who can get to 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: that quarterback? Uh, there's a number of spots that that, 86 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, it feels like he could go to. But 87 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be one we have to 88 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: let play out and and and run its course because 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: how high the salary cap has gone, I can't addicted. 90 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: And money matters in this league. You know, people say 91 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: I want to win. I want to win, no question 92 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: about it. But I like money, and so Kyler Murray. 93 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: There will be a lot of stops, a lot of 94 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: places that that at least have the conversation about Kyler 95 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Murray because they have quarterback openings. I think the Jets 96 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: come to mind immediately as as your first like, hey, 97 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, what, what can they do to get him? 98 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Does it make sense for him to go there? And 99 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: and what that make a difference. I'm sure he's had 100 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: success in this league. He's he's he's had some seasons 101 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: where you know, he's been named the Pro Bowlers. So 102 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: if he has talent around him, if the offense is 103 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: suited to his strengths, he can get the job done. 104 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: So I think that's a spot for him. I'm trying 105 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: to think what other spots really make sense for him, 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: you know. Also, yeah, I don't know if the avenue 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: is still open for him to go back to baseball. 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: I remember he was drafted ninth overall by the oak 109 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: And as uh if that's that was a conversation early 110 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: on in his career, right before he got his big deal. 111 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: Is that conversation still open? I would, I would, you know, 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: I don't have any years in his camp, So we'll see, 113 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't think the Minnesota Vikings make sense, 114 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: even though there's a bit of quarterback uncertainty there. Obviously, 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis coach just transition tag Daniel Jones, so it 116 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: looks like they feel like he's going to be their 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: quarterback at least for the next season. Uh. And and 118 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: they want to do a longer term deal with him apparently. 119 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: So uh. You know, that's positive news for Daniel Jones 120 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure how that situation would would turn out. 121 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: He was having a great season, Their offense, you know, 122 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: was the talk of the league, and then he goes 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: down with a major injury, uh, on a year where 124 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, it looked like a revival season for his career. 125 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: And and so I'm happy for him that he was 126 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: able to play with enough to earn himself the transition tag, 127 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: which I think is thirty seven and some change million dollars. 128 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: And we'll see, We'll see, We'll see what happens with 129 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: with Kyler, what he decides. I think the Jets are 130 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: the most viable option, the most obvious need at the position, 131 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: and the most inconsistent quarterback room over the last few years. 132 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see what they do. I think 133 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I don't see a lot of other 134 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: places that make a ton of sense. The more I'm 135 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: thinking about it, I'm trying to look through the AFC South, 136 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: the NFC South. There's not a lot of places that 137 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: are that are looking for a quarterback. What it makes 138 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: sense to inject him in the room in Cleveland, No, 139 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't. You already got Deshaun Watson still in that 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: room now going to be healthy. You got Shador Sanders 141 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: in that room. In the conversations there. Obviously they don't 142 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: think they're going to play Deshaun Watson. But you know, 143 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: if you've got a healthy, fifty million dollars quarterback on 144 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: the bench, it's gonna it's gonna depending on how the 145 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: starter plays, anytime he throws the interception, that conversation is 146 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: going to be there, That conversation is going to be open. 147 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: Would somebody trade for him? Would he be willing to 148 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: adjust his cap number and adjust his contract down to 149 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: facilitate tate a trade. That would probably be a scenario 150 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I think he would be open to if he's looking 151 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: to play some football. But again, these things are all 152 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: up in the air. We'll see how they plan out. 153 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Free agencies starting up, so we're you know, for all 154 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: your your football minds out there, Stay tuned.
