Speaker 1: It's only April eleventh, and we already have our first
Speaker 1: quarterback injury that could impact the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 1: Where do the Saints go from here? With Derek Carr's
Speaker 1: status in jeopardy again, we will tell you the latest.
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, the NFL Draft is just thirteen days away,
Speaker 1: and Travis Hunter will not have to wait long to
Speaker 1: hear his name called.
Speaker 2: Will he be an NFL receiver? A corner?
Speaker 1: Both hear what the Heisman Trophy winner is saying now
Speaker 1: about his positional and geographical destinations. Michael Parsons does not
Speaker 1: appear to be headed out of Dallas, but he also
Speaker 1: does not appear to be close to a record breaking contract.
Speaker 1: Jane Slater is going to be here nobody better to
Speaker 1: break down all angles as the offseason program approaches, and
Speaker 1: also discussed where the Cowboys could look with the number
Speaker 1: twelve pick. Welcome Inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport,
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Pilicero in the NFL Network newsroom in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: We got special guests on the show tonight.
Speaker 1: Josh Connerley, junior tackle from Oregon, a potential first round pick.
Speaker 2: He's going to be on the show.
Speaker 1: So is our buddy Brett Lewis, who unleashed a mock
Speaker 1: draft with a shocking trade at number two. Stick around
Speaker 1: and hear from rep. But let's begin with the big
Speaker 1: news that Ian reported a short time ago. Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: whose time in New Orleans has been marked by a
Speaker 1: number of things but certainly including injuries, now dealing with
Speaker 1: another one and his season. Ian sounds like it is
Speaker 1: very much in Jeffarty.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: My understanding is that Derek Carr faces a murky future
Speaker 4: in New o owns specifically rated to the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five season. Sources say Derek Carr is now dealing with
Speaker 4: a significant shoulder injury, believed to be a throwing shoulder
Speaker 4: injury that he has now been seeking medical opinions on.
Speaker 4: From what I understand, a decision is coming from Carr
Speaker 4: on how he is going to proceed, and yes, surgery
Speaker 4: is an option. If Derek Carr did in fact have surgery,
Speaker 4: it would likely take him off the field at the
Speaker 4: very least the start of the twenty twenty five season,
Speaker 4: likely more likely would put the New Orleans Saints and
Speaker 4: new coach Kellen Moore in this entirely new staff on
Speaker 4: the field without the person who has been their starting
Speaker 4: quarterback for the last several years. We do not know
Speaker 4: as of right now the immediate future of car Noise.
Speaker 4: It clear how and when this injury happened. Believed to
Speaker 4: have occurred at some point last season. Remember, he was
Speaker 4: dealing with a broken non throwing end to end this
Speaker 4: season and that was it. It's unclear if he had
Speaker 4: the injury at that time. There's still a ton of
Speaker 4: questions tom for the New Orleans Saints. What we know
Speaker 4: now is that Derek Carr needs to make a decision
Speaker 4: based on the medical opinions he will receive. And we
Speaker 4: also know that heading into the NFL Draft, where the
Speaker 4: Saints pick number nine, there's now a major major question
Speaker 4: about their quarterback need. In the first round or certainly early.
Speaker 1: Saints Oderek Carr forty million dollars, it's guaranteed this season.
Speaker 1: There was back and forth in the off season about
Speaker 1: whether or not, potentially they would restructure it in a
Speaker 1: more substantial way, including a pay cut. Car was not going.
Speaker 1: Along with that, there were retirement rumblings among other things.
Speaker 1: Now here we are once again wondering who the Saints
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be should be noted they own
Speaker 1: the number nine overall pick, and even before this came
Speaker 1: to light, the Saints were doing their homework on a
Speaker 1: lot of different potential quarterbacks that could be factors in
Speaker 1: the draft, whether that's at number nine or it's later on.
Speaker 1: As we evaluate the future of Schadoor Sanders, Jackson Dart
Speaker 1: among others, and Tyler Shook potentially as well, it is
Speaker 1: notable that perhaps while they've always needed that quarterback of
Speaker 1: the future, now they might also need the quarterback of
Speaker 1: right now. In related news, the Browns added yet another
Speaker 1: quarterback to their room. It is Joe Flacco who is
Speaker 1: back in Cleveland. It's a one year, four million dollar contract.
Speaker 1: He ken earn up to thirteen million dollars with incentives.
Speaker 1: This is backup quarterback tight money for Joe Flacco on
Speaker 1: a team that also acquired Kenny Pickett by trade in
Speaker 1: the offseason, but owns the number two overall pick and
Speaker 1: five picks in the first three rounds or so in
Speaker 1: the draft. You take a look at some of the
Speaker 1: mock drafts that our experts have done and who they
Speaker 1: are picking for the Browns. You see some love for
Speaker 1: shandor Sanders as well as Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter.
Speaker 3: Ret Lewis. So now we gave it away.
Speaker 2: He'll break it all.
Speaker 1: Down and how in the world they got to end
Speaker 1: up taking Ashton genty. They did not do it at
Speaker 1: number two. I'll leave the rest of it to him.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Joe Flacco Ian and the Browns,
Speaker 1: this is not a move that precludes them from doing anything,
Speaker 1: whether that's through a trade or the draft, but it
Speaker 1: does add a quarterback to Kevin Stefanskian company.
Speaker 4: Know well, the goal of NFL teams, as you know, Tom,
Speaker 4: is that they want to enter the upcoming draft, whichever
Speaker 4: year it is. But we'll talk this year's draft because
Speaker 4: that's coming up in about two weeks. They want to
Speaker 4: enter the draft with a team that they could feel right. Basically,
Speaker 4: they want to say, if the season started today, we
Speaker 4: would have a team ready.
Speaker 3: Now. The hope is to go into.
Speaker 4: The draft draft the best player available and not need
Speaker 4: need anything.
Speaker 3: The Browns are now in that position.
Speaker 4: That's basically how it would characterize the signing today of
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco. One year he gets three million dollars guaranteed
Speaker 4: you right, That is basically backup quarterback money. But at
Speaker 4: least they have a quarterback room that could go into
Speaker 4: the season and be okay. My understanding does not take
Speaker 4: them away from anything. It's actually similar to the New
Speaker 4: York Giants that with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. Could
Speaker 4: they take a quarterback, of course they could. Could they
Speaker 4: take them in the first round, of course they could.
Speaker 4: Similar to the Cleveland Browns, if it's a quarterback of
Speaker 4: the future, They're not going to let a signing of
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco for not a lot of money take them
Speaker 4: away from that. It just gives them a little security
Speaker 4: in case maybe someone takes the quarterback they want, in
Speaker 4: case they try to execute the trade. It does happen,
Speaker 4: and of course a lot of good feelings between Cleveland
Speaker 4: and Joe flack of considering what he did leading to
Speaker 4: the playoffs.
Speaker 3: This is kind of a cool reunion.
Speaker 1: That was not the only reunion for a veteran quarterback
Speaker 1: earlier today, the Seahawks also brought back an old friend.
Speaker 1: It is Drew lock who is returning for Seattle in
Speaker 1: a second stint after initially being acquired as part of
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson trade. Locksman last season with the Giants
Speaker 1: did have some productive moments for them. Now back in
Speaker 1: Seattle where he still has a lot of fans, this
Speaker 1: time around as a backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold. Sam
Speaker 1: Howell also in that quarterback room, and Josh Johnson is
Speaker 1: headed back to the Commanders. Did Josh Johnson play for
Speaker 1: the Commanders previously? He did, But it's also pretty safe
Speaker 1: to say that any Josh Johnson team is a reunion.
Speaker 1: He has played for pretty much the entire league. He
Speaker 1: is now back behind Jayden Daniels in Washington. Meanwhile, that
Speaker 1: NFL Draft just thirteen days away. Jalen Miller another name
Speaker 1: the potentially you could here called in the first round
Speaker 1: of the draft. And if that happens, Jayleen Milroe wants
Speaker 1: to tell you why I.
Speaker 5: Don't consider it a challenge.
Speaker 2: I considered it as a superpower.
Speaker 6: You know, it's something that's traits that people don't have,
Speaker 6: and so why not benefit from that and why not
Speaker 6: prepare to keep on dominating defenses and be able to
Speaker 6: have something that other people have, because.
Speaker 3: You know, it's unique, you know something everybody wants you
Speaker 3: to have.
Speaker 6: My superpower having my legs and my arms, So why
Speaker 6: did I use that as a crush against myself because
Speaker 6: someone doesn't like it if you don't like it stopping.
Speaker 3: So I'm not, you know, phased by that that phase
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 6: Know why you're you know, while you're a runner and
Speaker 6: things like that, because at the end of the day,
Speaker 6: it's hard for defensive defensive coordita to stop it. You know,
Speaker 6: one one corver that do not get at all. It's
Speaker 6: too man, because no one has me. So it's it's
Speaker 6: it's it's definitely a superpower of mind, and I use
Speaker 6: my stress as my superpower.
Speaker 2: Jail and Milroe played a lot of big games. So
Speaker 2: did this guy, Quinn?
Speaker 1: You ers only did was go to a couple of
Speaker 1: college football playoffs when eleven to one on the road
Speaker 1: as a starter, won a conference title in one conference,
Speaker 1: then went to another one and took that team to
Speaker 1: a conference championship game. I had him on the Rich
Speaker 1: Eisen Show earlier today and asked him what he thinks
Speaker 1: to the fact that he's not really been in the
Speaker 1: conversation with those other big names.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I mean, like you said, I feel like
Speaker 7: I'm a little underlooked for sure, you know, just looking
Speaker 7: back at my resume, you know, winning the last twenty
Speaker 7: one out of the twenty six games that I played,
Speaker 7: like you said, going to Big twelve, winning that game,
Speaker 7: then first year in the SEC, going to the SEC
Speaker 7: championship game, you know, back to back years in the
Speaker 7: college football playoffs, and you know, it was a fun ride,
Speaker 7: and I mean, I couldn't be more excited. And like
Speaker 7: you said, I feel like I'm the most polished quarterback
Speaker 7: I've been through the most coming out of this draft
Speaker 7: the most. I just feel like I'm the resiliency that
Speaker 7: I've shown in the minch toughness that I've shown. It's
Speaker 7: pretty much unmatched from from kind of what I had
Speaker 7: to what I had to deal with and what I've
Speaker 7: been through, and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything.
Speaker 5: I think it's getting ready for.
Speaker 3: The NFL and whatever is to come by way.
Speaker 7: But yeah, eleven to one on the road, only lost
Speaker 7: with my freshman year against Oklahoma State, so finished out
Speaker 7: eleven and zero on the road. I mean, team was
Speaker 7: five and seven before I got there, finished twenty seven
Speaker 7: to five my last few years. You know, it was
Speaker 7: fun turning that program around, and you know, with some help obviously,
Speaker 7: but it was it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Oh, Bucky Brooks overloo Quin youwers as well. Here's his
Speaker 1: top five quarterback prospects. Chadour at number one, Bucky's staying
Speaker 1: on that island, cam Wore Jackson Dark, Jalen Miler, and
Speaker 1: then Kyle McCord at Syracuse, the one time Ohio state
Speaker 1: starter checking in at number five. Travis Hunter is in
Speaker 1: Bucky's top five. I believe in multiple positions. He's a corner,
Speaker 1: He's a receiver.
Speaker 2: He is a.
Speaker 1: Unicorn in this draft. And he told the Associated Press
Speaker 1: recently that he's still unsure what side of the ball
Speaker 1: teams will want him to focus on. That could vary
Speaker 1: based upon the team that he ends up going to.
Speaker 1: The Browns have made pretty clear that they would potentially
Speaker 1: look at him as a wide receiver prospect. Other teams
Speaker 1: would look at him as a corner.
Speaker 8: What are you at the next level?
Speaker 3: Both?
Speaker 8: Just like you saw me play, you want to do both?
Speaker 8: How many snaps in a football game? Can you play
Speaker 8: all of them? If they gave me a chance and
Speaker 8: an opportunity.
Speaker 9: To do it?
Speaker 8: And so we were talking about the challenges that come
Speaker 8: with it. You got to be in offensive meetings, You
Speaker 8: got to be in defensive meetings, you got to be
Speaker 8: in wide receiver meetings, you got to be in defensive
Speaker 8: back meetings. How is there enough time to do all that?
Speaker 8: How did you prepare for that when you played college? Well,
Speaker 8: we kind of got twenty four hours in a day.
Speaker 8: We probably sleep for by eight of those, so it's
Speaker 8: probably got fifteen more.
Speaker 3: So dedicated to those I'm dedicated to football.
Speaker 1: Take a look at some of the players to start
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and corner in the same game since
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty Antonio Cramarti, Champ Bailey, those two I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure were package type plays. Deon Sanders he was the
Speaker 1: real number three receiver and had a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: catches for the Cowboys back in nineteen ninety six. It
Speaker 1: all brings us to the question ian of whether or
Speaker 1: not Travis can follow in the footsteps. So the guy
Speaker 1: who coached him there at Colorado, and it does seem like,
Speaker 1: as you talk from team to team, the plan if
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter were to go there might be a little
Speaker 1: bit different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned it right off the top, right, So
Speaker 4: if he goes to Cleveland Browns A two, which is
Speaker 4: certainly in the realm of possibilities, will start out as
Speaker 4: a receiver, someone they believe is incredibly talented. He is
Speaker 4: incredibly talented, and he hasn't exactly focused on receiver that much.
Speaker 4: So whatever you're seeing on the fields a lot of
Speaker 4: bait just based on his raw ability. Imagine if they
Speaker 4: got that kind of coaching you get as a full
Speaker 4: time receiver. That's at least how teams who view him
Speaker 4: as a receiver feel, and then he would potentially sprinkle
Speaker 4: in at corner. But there are several other teams teams
Speaker 4: do pick high who view him as a corner first,
Speaker 4: and you know.
Speaker 3: We use the term shutdown.
Speaker 4: That's not really the kind of player that Travis Hunter
Speaker 4: would be. He's not Patrick shir Tamwi. Just lines up
Speaker 4: with the number one guys, more of an instinctual maybe
Speaker 4: someone who would excel and zone, someone who might get
Speaker 4: beat some of it, might lead the league in interceptions,
Speaker 4: just a really really unique corner. Then he could come
Speaker 4: in play receiver, maybe in the red zone. This conversation
Speaker 4: that we're having right now, Tom, we have not had
Speaker 4: a lot in the last many many years.
Speaker 3: This is a unicorn.
Speaker 4: A lot of teams love him, but just don't know
Speaker 4: how it's going to play out, and I think that's
Speaker 4: kind of going to be part of the fun of
Speaker 4: watching him is like it's all out there for Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3: I just I don't know that he's just going to
Speaker 3: play every snap of every game.
Speaker 1: We'll think about some of the matches we have to
Speaker 1: look forward to. You're facing the Chiefs, You go against
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie on Ovius and you flip around, try to
Speaker 1: pick off Patrick.
Speaker 2: Mahomes, who already is getting ready.
Speaker 1: To take on Travis Hunter and any other corners that
Speaker 1: might stand in his way. Throw in for one of
Speaker 1: his new tight ends, Robert Tunyan recently ahead of the
Speaker 1: upcoming start of the Chiefs off season program. Chiefs every
Speaker 1: year lose about a month of the offseason because they're
Speaker 1: always in the Super Bowl. But Patrick back at it
Speaker 1: barely two months later. Meanwhile, the Texans rewarding one of
Speaker 1: their own earlier today, Jalen Petrie, Green terms on a
Speaker 1: three year, thirty nine million dollar extension. He gets over
Speaker 1: twenty nine million dollar guaranteed can earn upwards of forty
Speaker 1: two million with the incentives. That deal for Petree now
Speaker 1: makes him the NFL's highest paid Nickel also a friend
Speaker 1: of the Insider, so congrats to Jalen Petrie who continues
Speaker 1: to also do a lot of great work down there
Speaker 1: in the Houston community. A lot more to come here
Speaker 1: on the Insiders, including Jane Slater will be here. What
Speaker 1: is the latest on Michael Parsons? Exactly what will the
Speaker 1: Cowboys do with the number twelve overall pick? And after
Speaker 1: this we already previewed it. Maybe maybe ruin the surprise
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you'll have to wait for rat
Speaker 1: Lewis to explain how that trade happened to land at
Speaker 1: Ashton genty in Cleveland. It's a lot to take on.
Speaker 1: Stick around light it next on the Insiders. Thirteen days
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty five NFL drafts. Still time to
Speaker 1: get your mock drafts done. Rtt Lewis did that. You
Speaker 1: can find a full mock draft right now at NFL
Speaker 1: dot com. And now we're at Lewis joining us right
Speaker 1: here on the Insiders with me, Tom Pellisero, Rhett. You've
Speaker 1: got cam Or going number one along with all the
Speaker 1: other mock drafts we've seen pretty close to a certainty
Speaker 1: that's going to be the pick. So let's start out
Speaker 1: at number two because you've got a trade right here.
Speaker 1: Explain to me the thought process at number two.
Speaker 10: Well, look, I think this is a draft that maybe
Speaker 10: doesn't have as many way up there league, top tier,
Speaker 10: blue chip type of players, but Travis Hunter is certainly
Speaker 10: one of those guys. He feels like one of these
Speaker 10: guys that.
Speaker 2: You would move up to go and get.
Speaker 10: And look, it's not a huge jump from six to
Speaker 10: two for the Raiders to go up and make that
Speaker 10: move with the Cleveland Browns, and it just so happens
Speaker 10: to solve like two fairly big needs for them. And
Speaker 10: I feel like Pete Carroll is a coach tom that
Speaker 10: is going to be unafraid about using Travis Hunter full
Speaker 10: go on both sides of the ball, dB and receiver,
Speaker 10: and then maybe tapering back at some point if you
Speaker 10: need to tinker with that a little bit.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing.
Speaker 10: You might have to give up a twenty six first
Speaker 10: round pick to go and make this move. But I
Speaker 10: think you would take Travis Hunter the wide receiver in
Speaker 10: the first round, and then I think in another draft
Speaker 10: you would take what Travis Hunter the dB in the
Speaker 10: first round two. So this really feels like a two
Speaker 10: for one, and I feel pretty good about giving up
Speaker 10: the compensation to go get this player.
Speaker 1: All right, So Travis Hunter goes at number two, then
Speaker 1: at number three for the Giants, it's really Abdul Carter
Speaker 1: unless they go the quarterback route with Shador Sanders.
Speaker 2: Why'd you go Carter there?
Speaker 10: I'm just following all and reading all the tea leaves
Speaker 10: that you and Ian and Micro dropping, and it certainly
Speaker 10: sounds like you guys are saying that the Browns and
Speaker 10: the Giants might be passing a two and three on
Speaker 10: the quarterback. And in that case, knowing that the Giants
Speaker 10: did make some move at the quarterback spot to fill
Speaker 10: their room with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, you could
Speaker 10: arguably the best player in the draft falling into your
Speaker 10: lap here at number three. Sure, they traded for Brian
Speaker 10: Burns last year, drafted Kavon Thibodeau a couple of drafts ago,
Speaker 10: but you know, for following the Eagles model of building
Speaker 10: a bully up front, and if that's a championship model,
Speaker 10: I feel pretty dang good about bringing a player like
Speaker 10: Abdull Carter, the best edge rusher, defensive lineman to maybe
Speaker 10: overall player in the draft in New York.
Speaker 1: So you have the Browns then going down to six
Speaker 1: where they once again pass on a quarterback.
Speaker 11: RTT.
Speaker 2: What's the plan here?
Speaker 10: Well, look, I think we look back at the last
Speaker 10: couple of playoff appearances here for the Cleveland Browns, they
Speaker 10: were a much better running football team than they have
Speaker 10: been recently. I think they're bottom third in the league
Speaker 10: in terms of rushing yards per game last year. And
Speaker 10: you're getting a player in Ashton genty. If you're watching
Speaker 10: Path to the Draft today, we talked about Ladanian Tomlinson
Speaker 10: type Tom at the very top if he maxes out
Speaker 10: his potential and sign me up for that in Cleveland.
Speaker 10: I think what he does if you get Kirk Cousins
Speaker 10: via trade at some point or if you roll with
Speaker 10: can you pick it, he really helps your quarterback this year.
Speaker 10: And then if you go get a younger player let's say,
Speaker 10: you know, second, third, fourth round this year, or you
Speaker 10: just wait until next year to get a QB as
Speaker 10: a rookie, he's going to ease that transition having that
Speaker 10: big time run game.
Speaker 1: There's one other team that's had all these top quarterback
Speaker 1: prospects in for visits, including Schnor Standers, that is the
Speaker 1: Steelers at number twenty one.
Speaker 2: Where'd you go there?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's become a pretty popular projection to
Speaker 10: put Jackson Dart is the third quarterback off the board
Speaker 10: and into the first round, into the Pittsburgh Steelers at
Speaker 10: twenty one. Now, look, maybe there's a team that wants
Speaker 10: to come back into the first round and try to
Speaker 10: jump in front of the Steelers.
Speaker 5: To go get that third quarterback at Jackson Dart.
Speaker 10: But if he's there, I think either even if Aaron
Speaker 10: Rodgers ends up on the roster, I don't know how
Speaker 10: you feel about it, but I think even if this
Speaker 10: gives you a really good long term option at the position,
Speaker 10: and it just felt like they have not had that.
Speaker 10: And obviously, here Rogers comes in, he's not going to
Speaker 10: present that type of longevity four y at the position.
Speaker 10: So having a high level player at Dart certainly makes
Speaker 10: a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Rhett, great stuff as always, Good to see you, buddy,
Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
Speaker 9: No pro.
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, the longtime cornerback, will announce his retirement as
Speaker 1: a cardinal at a press conference on Mondays. When just
Speaker 1: five defensive players in Super Bowl Air to make the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons, last
Speaker 1: played in twenty twenty three, with Pittsburgh now calling in
Speaker 1: a career developing news tonight from Ian Rappaport, the Saints
Speaker 1: suddenly have a major quarterback question, their starter Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: now dealing with a shoulder injury that threatens his availability
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty five season. Car currently is weighing options,
Speaker 1: including the possibility of surgery answers within the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, timing up with a draft in which New
Speaker 1: Orleans happens down the number nine pick. Gent may or
Speaker 1: may not still be on the board by that time.
Speaker 1: One of the top prospects overall in this drafty Boise
Speaker 1: State star, who some have mock drafted to of the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys if he's there at number twelve, mock drafts
Speaker 1: that certainly former Cowboys linebacker Jalen Smith would agree with.
Speaker 12: In twenty sixteen, when I was drafted, I was drafted
Speaker 12: second round. Dak was drafted in the same class, but
Speaker 12: our number four overall pick was Ezekiel Elliott, a running back.
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys needs a running back.
Speaker 12: Jerry Jones and the Jones family and the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 12: they love Boise State talent. I played with Kellen Moore,
Speaker 12: who was the quarterback at Boise State, and I was
Speaker 12: coached by him as the offensive coordinator in Dallas.
Speaker 3: Leyden vander Esch was.
Speaker 12: A Boise State player, DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford. There's some
Speaker 12: Boise State connection, and I think Dallas is ready to
Speaker 12: make a real push come A's Draft night.
Speaker 1: A Boise State love connection as it were for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: who have drafted quite a few Boise State players over
Speaker 1: the years, Leyton vandersh the most recent one, Cedric Wilson,
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, among others. As we welcome I Jane Slater,
Speaker 1: who is down there in Dallas. Is this are we
Speaker 1: connecting the dots and the strings here a little too far?
Speaker 9: Jane?
Speaker 2: Or is this a real.
Speaker 1: Possibility of Ashton Genty if he's actually there being the
Speaker 1: new man in Dallas.
Speaker 13: Look, when I was at the East West Shrine game
Speaker 13: watching practices, one of Ashton Genty's people came over to
Speaker 13: me and said, we've got to start talking about getting
Speaker 13: him here to Dallas.
Speaker 3: I said, you guys know, I.
Speaker 13: Don't own the team, so I don't have that sort
Speaker 13: of in but I think it's very clear that Ashton
Speaker 13: Genty would love to be here. And look, there is
Speaker 13: the Boise State connection. As Jalen Smith reference, there's obviously
Speaker 13: a huge need at that position. The running back by
Speaker 13: committee was an apt failure last year until they decided
Speaker 13: to move forward to Rico Dawdle getting the majority of
Speaker 13: the carries. But Asha Genty being there at twelve for them,
Speaker 13: are them even taking a running back in the first round,
Speaker 13: I think is going to be a bit of a
Speaker 13: stretch guys.
Speaker 3: Again, Ashon Gentz.
Speaker 13: The reason why there's this connection is he went to
Speaker 13: high school there in Frisco. He's the hometown guy. Obviously
Speaker 13: would like to stay put. But I think there's a
Speaker 13: couple of other ones you should keep an eye on.
Speaker 13: What we do know from the Cowboys thirty visit so
Speaker 13: far they've brought in at least four running backs, about.
Speaker 3: As many as they have at the edge position.
Speaker 13: Some of the guys that are really sort of moving
Speaker 13: up and getting mocked to Dallas. Keep an eye on
Speaker 13: Omari and Hampton and then the other one that I
Speaker 13: think really impressed the Cowboys based on some of my
Speaker 13: conversations was by Shell Tooton. Now, this was a guy
Speaker 13: who ran a four to three to two at the combine.
Speaker 13: If you listen to lanzer line, he'll tell you that
Speaker 13: this guy has got immediate starter capabilities. He's got three
Speaker 13: down value. And I was told not only did he
Speaker 13: impress the coaches in the staff with the Cowboys when
Speaker 13: he came in last week by the fact that he
Speaker 13: was wearing a suit, but they also showed he had
Speaker 13: a lot of maturity and they were also really impressed
Speaker 13: in Virginia Tech kids football like you.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: So we'll talk about them drafting a receiver, running back
Speaker 4: and they'll probably take a center. Let's talk about a
Speaker 4: current member of the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons. We know
Speaker 4: talks going on for a potential contract extension. Off season
Speaker 4: workouts start on Monday. Do we know if we will
Speaker 4: see their star pass rusher and everything else.
Speaker 13: Listen, we haven't seen Micah Parsons in the last two
Speaker 13: seasons voluntary workouts. He always makes a point to point
Speaker 13: out to us they are in fact voluntary. I remember
Speaker 13: I asked him out his locker. You know what sort
Speaker 13: of message are you trying to send to the locker
Speaker 13: room if you say that, you're a leader, Micah, and
Speaker 13: you know Micah said, the guys get it. I was
Speaker 13: also a little shocked with his transparency when he said,
Speaker 13: I don't get paid like some of these guys.
Speaker 9: To be here.
Speaker 13: In other words, there are some built in stipends to
Speaker 13: some of these contracts for some of the stars to
Speaker 13: show up there. So that was sort of his way
Speaker 13: of sending out a missive to the Cowboys as early
Speaker 13: as last year that that's something he might like to
Speaker 13: see and his contract now. Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer,
Speaker 13: the Cowboys new coach, intimated that they thought that Parsons
Speaker 13: would be a participant this year.
Speaker 3: We'll see if that's the case.
Speaker 13: Mike McCarthy thought he was going to be their last year,
Speaker 13: and then Parsons didn't show up. I reached out to
Speaker 13: Parsons to see if he had anything to say on it.
Speaker 13: He hasn't responded back yet, so that will likely be
Speaker 13: a storyline next week. Remember, folks, he's our voluntary and
Speaker 13: he was there at the mandatory OTAs in June last year.
Speaker 1: We'll look forward to Micah's answer to your text to
Speaker 1: his next podcast. Jane, thank you as always for your insight.
Speaker 9: Time.
Speaker 1: Now for a segment that we all love. It's fact
Speaker 1: or fiction with our buddy Adam Rank. Let's start right there,
Speaker 1: Rank with Paul.
Speaker 11: Let stop right there. Okay, I'm hold on for a second.
Speaker 11: Oh boy, listen, I do this live on Friday night
Speaker 11: every time I've got commitments. I'm going to go do
Speaker 11: an old folks home a comedy show. And yet you
Speaker 11: are sitting here in a different outfit, Bonsie, because earlier
Speaker 11: when you're talking to RHTT, you're in a button up shirt.
Speaker 11: Now you got the leather jacket on. It Is this
Speaker 11: a clip show?
Speaker 1: I knew what I wanted Brett to feel like. He
Speaker 1: was not under dressed for the show, so I took
Speaker 1: it off. Now straight back to the funds, Arelly. Hopefully
Speaker 1: this show is not going to jump the shark. Okay,
Speaker 1: Cowboys fact or fiction, they need to draft a quarterback, Rank, Tom, I'm.
Speaker 11: Gonna say that's a fact, but it's a fact if
Speaker 11: the quarterback is Shadoor Sanders. Allow me to get out
Speaker 11: of my conspiracy theory Tinfoil had as we go into it. Listen,
Speaker 11: do the Cowboys necessarily need a quarterback. They don't. But
Speaker 11: how fun would it be for the Dallas Cowboys to
Speaker 11: be sitting there at twelve having Shador Sanders available to them, realizing, hey,
Speaker 11: look if we alf Shador and we have them sit
Speaker 11: the bench behind Dak Prescott because Dak Prescott's contract makes
Speaker 11: it impossible to move him this year, but it's a
Speaker 11: guy long term down the road. Not only could you
Speaker 11: get Shadoor Sanders, you could also get Dion Sanders to
Speaker 11: be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. You can't
Speaker 11: tell me. You can't tell me that Brian Schottenheimer is
Speaker 11: the plan. That's a plan. See that's everything is closed.
Speaker 11: I'm going to del Taco type of plan. Listen, Shador Sanders,
Speaker 11: Dion Sanders, Dallas Cowboys, twenty twenty six. The Cowboys have
Speaker 11: the chance to do the best thing ever and they
Speaker 11: need to do it. And by the way, I think
Speaker 11: that needs to happen.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's worse the fact that you're calling
Speaker 4: for the removal of Brian Schatanheimer before he's coached the game,
Speaker 4: or whether you just destroyed Deltaco, which is actually totally fine.
Speaker 4: I love Deltak, No I love Del Taco sounds like
Speaker 4: you really do the fact or fiction. If Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 4: signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers, they should still draft a
Speaker 4: quarterback in Round one.
Speaker 11: Let's say you this is a fact, much like I
Speaker 11: think that Permant's is a great place. That's a fact.
Speaker 11: Del Taco's a great place. That's a fact. But I
Speaker 11: do too. Listen, don't make me mismirch these places, and
Speaker 11: I will not mismirch the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have an
Speaker 11: opportunity to build for a quarterback of the future. Obviously,
Speaker 11: if Aaron Rodgers comes in, this is going to be
Speaker 11: a short term situation. But if the Pittsburgh Steelers have
Speaker 11: a chance to draft somebody like Jackson Dark, maybe Schador
Speaker 11: Sanders also falls down. If the Dallas Cowboys don't take them,
Speaker 11: there don't There doesn't seem to be a lot of
Speaker 11: teams in between the Cowboys and the Steelers who would
Speaker 11: be taking a quarterback. So I think for the long
Speaker 11: term viability for the Steelers, you draft your quarterback in
Speaker 11: the future, bringing a veteran. I know this will anger
Speaker 11: some people, but I think it kind of is reminiscent
Speaker 11: in the time when the Pittsburgh Steelers had touchdown Tommy
Speaker 11: Maddox and they drafted Ben Roethlisberger, and Tommy Maddocks started
Speaker 11: what was at eight games before he was finally removed
Speaker 11: or something happened. Ben Roethlisberger comes in. I think Aaron
Speaker 11: Rodgers could be a britt Yeah, this is it, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 11: You're not being compared to Tommy Maddox's where your life
Speaker 11: is gone?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 4: I like by the way, I like Tommy Maddox too. Listen,
Speaker 4: Tommy Maddicks, del Taco Schottenheimer.
Speaker 11: Love Schottenheimer, get out of there. I'm a big la
Speaker 11: extreme guy, so I love Tommy Maddox.
Speaker 2: All right. Fact or fiction?
Speaker 1: Rank the brown should trade for Kirk Cousins even after
Speaker 1: signing Joe Flacco.
Speaker 11: That's a fiction. Why are you training for the same
Speaker 11: guy you got Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco took this team
Speaker 11: to the playoffs two years ago. I don't even know
Speaker 11: why they would be messing around with this. This is
Speaker 11: no disrespect. Ian. Don't get it twisted. I like Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 11: He's fine, He's a good NFL quarterback. However, if you've
Speaker 11: got Joe Flacco, you don't need both of these guys.
Speaker 11: You got one. You got Joe Flacco. You made your decision.
Speaker 2: You go with him.
Speaker 11: So for Kirk Cousins, I think there are other opportunities
Speaker 11: for him. And by the way, it's not the worst
Speaker 11: thing in the world to be the backup quarterback for
Speaker 11: the Atlanta Falcons. To sit there and be a mentor
Speaker 11: for Michael Pennix. The Falcons could be very good this season.
Speaker 11: When you look at where the Falcons are drafting, If
Speaker 11: they draft correctly, get that defensive end, actually sack the quarterback,
Speaker 11: they have a chance to knock off the Tampa Bay
Speaker 11: Buccaneers for.
Speaker 4: The NFC South, Pennix Pennis looks pretty good. That's gonna
Speaker 4: be interesting one to watch, all right. Another one for
Speaker 4: your rank. The New York Giants are now set at
Speaker 4: quarterback after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
Speaker 3: Fact or fiction, I would.
Speaker 11: Say that's a fact. I really like this tandem. Honestly,
Speaker 11: when they signed Jameis Winston, I was very excited about it.
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, I believe I was on
Speaker 11: this show already touting that we needed to go out
Speaker 11: there and draft the league. Neighbors and all our fantasy drafts,
Speaker 11: and then the Giants come in there and they bring
Speaker 11: in Russell Wilson. You've already done it again. You've taken
Speaker 11: yourself out of the quarterback situation. There's no need to
Speaker 11: go after Sador Sanders cam Ward if he happens to fall,
Speaker 11: Jackson Dart anything like that. The Giants sitting at number
Speaker 11: three are in a very interesting position because they couldn't
Speaker 11: end up with a dual Carter Mason Graham makes a
Speaker 11: lot of sense. Or if they want to get weird,
Speaker 11: Ashton Genty could be available. I know that you won't
Speaker 11: make people forget that you let Saquon Barkley go and
Speaker 11: win a Super Bowl with the Eagles, But that would
Speaker 11: be a pretty good start.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Last one rank fact or fiction. The Vikings are set
Speaker 1: at quarterback with JJ McCarthy for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 11: I'm going to say this is fiction and it has
Speaker 11: nothing to do with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 11: I think he's good Ian, he's good. I like Del Taco,
Speaker 11: I like JJ McCarthy, I like Permantes. Who's the backup
Speaker 11: quarterback in Minnesota. It's Brett Rippon. That's the problem. That's
Speaker 11: the thing. That's holding me up. I think that you
Speaker 11: need a veteran presence behind him just in case something happens,
Speaker 11: Just in case there's something that happens with his rehab
Speaker 11: or something like that. If you're looking for a guy
Speaker 11: who might be available. Dare I say the name Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 11: the Kirk Cousins Reunion. You know, I mean Chick fil
Speaker 11: A is fine, but you know he's missing Portillo's. Send
Speaker 11: him back to Minnesota and let him back up.
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy rank, you never disappoint, except when you comment
Speaker 1: on the editing and the wardrobe. On the end, I'm
Speaker 1: saying I can talk with you again. Get out the
Speaker 1: great jacket out of here. We appreciate you being live though.
Speaker 1: That's actually a big part of being on a live show.
Speaker 1: Coming up, they had Connorley versus Carter in a college
Speaker 1: football playoff game. And no, that's not the new name
Speaker 1: of the next Beyonce album. We got Josh Connerley Jr.
Speaker 1: Potential first round pick. He joins the show and also
Speaker 1: talks about being a big man who can carry the
Speaker 1: ball a little bit.
Speaker 2: Next on The Insiders.
Speaker 1: Not many more consistent players for Oregon over the past
Speaker 1: couple of seasons than they're left tackle. Josh Connery Junior
Speaker 1: opening holes, blocking for the likes of Bo Nicks and
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, occasionally even catching the ball a little bit.
Speaker 1: One of us several Oregon players to earn honors this
Speaker 1: past season, thirteen days away from finding out where he's
Speaker 1: going to go in the NFL Draft, kind enough to
Speaker 1: take a few minutes with us here on the Insiders,
Speaker 1: Tom Pilisero and Ian Rappaport. Josh, I appreciate you beating
Speaker 1: what is life like right now? No One, sometime here
Speaker 1: in these next couple of weeks you're gonna know where
Speaker 1: across the country you're continuing your football career.
Speaker 14: Man, it's a blessing and it's very exciting, and you
Speaker 14: know it's everything.
Speaker 5: Got a drink for you, know what I mean? So great, Philla.
Speaker 4: There's obviously some questions going forward about where you're going
Speaker 4: to go how high. Certainly seems like it's going to
Speaker 4: be a good process, good outcome for you.
Speaker 3: But also what position played?
Speaker 4: Left tackle? The last two years you played different positions.
Speaker 4: Where do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as
Speaker 4: a left tackle only or is the ability to play
Speaker 4: right side, something that you take pride in.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean whatever is asked on me. But I
Speaker 14: do see myself as a left tackle. But I mean honestly,
Speaker 14: anything that coaches won for me, that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: So now you know you're six four five a's three
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven pounds. I would still say, based on
Speaker 1: a couple of clips I've seen, maybe running back.
Speaker 2: Is the position of the future.
Speaker 1: We got a couple of clips them letting you touch
Speaker 1: the ball, Josh breakdown, Josh Connolly Junior the skill position weapon.
Speaker 14: I mean tooo, when I get out there and I
Speaker 14: have the I have the ability to do anything on
Speaker 14: the field. Personally, I can't really throw like that, but
Speaker 14: I mean I got the hands.
Speaker 5: I could run a little bit.
Speaker 14: You know, ball security is always nice, and the hands
Speaker 14: are solf, so I feel like I can get it done.
Speaker 4: You know, in today's NFL, having offensive lineman be like
Speaker 4: actual athletes is kind of a real thing. Being, you know,
Speaker 4: ability to get in space and go find a corner.
Speaker 4: You have also been a basketball player, you have as
Speaker 4: we talked about how to touchdown a two boy conversion.
Speaker 4: What kind of an athlete are you? At and has
Speaker 4: this been a topic of conversation for you as you
Speaker 4: get to know some of these NFL teams.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's the attraction.
Speaker 14: You know, I'm able to get out in space on screens,
Speaker 14: I'm able to mirror anybody in pass protection, you know
Speaker 14: what I mean. So I feel like that is one
Speaker 14: of my advantages when it comes to like just having
Speaker 14: a big skill set of you know, a wide variety
Speaker 14: of things to do on the field.
Speaker 1: So there have been a bunch of NBA players that
Speaker 1: have come out of your high school there in the
Speaker 1: state of Washington too. I can only imagine when you're
Speaker 1: as big as you are, the first time you're out
Speaker 1: there in like high school, you have to be dwarfing
Speaker 1: the other guys on the basketball for much less the
Speaker 1: football field.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, honestly, there's been some guys that I
Speaker 14: played against that actually tower me, but you know, and
Speaker 14: size wise, Like I played against guys like Paul ben
Speaker 14: Carrow mmble. Even I've had a lot of competition with J. T.
Speaker 14: Tumlow as well, like we grew up playing against each other.
Speaker 14: So I mean there's always been a lot of.
Speaker 5: Me time people and me also being tired as well. So, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Want to talk about another one on one matchup.
Speaker 4: It's going back to the Big Ten title game, you
Speaker 4: versus Abdul Carter. He is a stud. He is going
Speaker 4: to go high in this draft. I don't think anyone
Speaker 4: doubts the unbelievable talent that he has. You had a
Speaker 4: pretty good day against him, really good day against him.
Speaker 4: What do you remember from that matchup and what do
Speaker 4: you How do you view Carter as a prospect.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean he's a one of a kind in
Speaker 14: my opinion, gets off the ball like no other. I
Speaker 14: feel like that's where he really separates himself as his
Speaker 14: get off and his ability to be really decisive with
Speaker 14: his moves and just continues to just thrive.
Speaker 5: But I feel like, yeah, I had a solid day.
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously there's some things that I do want back,
Speaker 14: and I feel like technique could have been cleaner at times.
Speaker 14: But overall, I mean, we got the win as a team,
Speaker 14: and that's all that really mattered to me.
Speaker 1: It does look like you were given them the business
Speaker 1: a little bit at one point to Abdul Carter. Are
Speaker 1: you a big talker on the field? Do you play
Speaker 1: the intimidation game?
Speaker 3: Job.
Speaker 14: Sure, Nah, I don't. I'm not a huge talker. I
Speaker 14: just go out there and do my thing. That's about it.
Speaker 4: Well, you're doing a good job talking to us, sent
Speaker 4: and we appreciate that. I want you to talk about
Speaker 4: one of your quarterbacks, and actually you've had some really
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks Bo Nicks. Dylan Gabriel in this draft. He
Speaker 4: is not a big dude. Uh No, he's really fun,
Speaker 4: really talented. What kind of player are NFL teams getting
Speaker 4: if they take Dylan Gabriel?
Speaker 14: I mean you get a person before anything, you know,
Speaker 14: someone that came in in the spring or came in
Speaker 14: the winner and had everybody gel together by spring, you
Speaker 14: know what I mean. Obviously as a team on the field,
Speaker 14: we were still coming.
Speaker 5: Along, but we all got along. And I feel like
Speaker 5: that's where it all starts.
Speaker 14: And the brotherhood that he embodied and continued to just
Speaker 14: it just started to transcend, you know what I mean,
Speaker 14: in terms of his character, and I mean that just
Speaker 14: goes to it just goes to show you Like why
Speaker 14: it translated on the field during the season is because
Speaker 14: of the way that he allowed us to get to
Speaker 14: know him and him starting to get to know us.
Speaker 14: But I mean, you're getting someone that shoot slangs the rock,
Speaker 14: you know, and someone that is a true field general
Speaker 14: and knows how to run an offense through and through.
Speaker 1: So thirteen days left until the NFL Draft, What if
Speaker 1: anything do you have left in terms of workouts visits
Speaker 1: still on your plate here between now and draft Day.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I have a few visits left and then I
Speaker 14: don't have a whole lot of zooms or stuff anymore,
Speaker 14: but I have a few visits and just gonna be
Speaker 14: grinding getting ready.
Speaker 2: Well, we appreciate you being here, Josh.
Speaker 1: Not gonna have to wait too long on draft day
Speaker 1: to hear it name cal so you can't wait to
Speaker 1: see in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Man, appreciate it. Let's do us again.
Speaker 4: Hey, I appreciate you guys for having me on the
Speaker 4: New Orleans Saints. Now a major question at the quarterback position.
Speaker 4: As I reported earlier tonight, Derek Carr is facing a
Speaker 4: significant shoulder injury has a decision to make in his
Speaker 4: future after consulting with medical personnel and getting several tests,
Speaker 4: and there is a possibility that he does not play
Speaker 4: in the twenty twenty five season, which, as the Saints
Speaker 4: going to this draft gives them even more questions to answer.
Speaker 4: For help on that, I'll bring in our good friend
Speaker 4: Cam Wolf. Cam thank you for joining us on the Insiders.
Speaker 4: As far as the New Orleans Saints go at the
Speaker 4: quarterback position, yes, of course they have questions surrounding Derek Carr,
Speaker 4: but they also have the number nine pick of this
Speaker 4: upcoming NFL Draft.
Speaker 3: What are their options there?
Speaker 9: Well, first, Ian, huge news from you on the injury
Speaker 9: front on Derek Carr, and the Saints, from what I understand,
Speaker 9: have already been doing significant homework on this quarterback class
Speaker 9: at number nine, and if it goes how we expect
Speaker 9: with cam Ward at one, then maybe Shador Sanders is
Speaker 9: a top option for them with that number nine pick.
Speaker 3: They've done substantial homework on him.
Speaker 9: They sent their quarterback coach, Scott Tolzine to see him
Speaker 9: throw at Colorado's pro DAE. I'm told they had scouts,
Speaker 9: multiple scouts at Colorado throughout the season to watch him play.
Speaker 9: And it's interesting because one stat that'll stand out through
Speaker 9: draft the Saints have not drafted a quarterback in the
Speaker 9: first or second round in fifty four years, since Archie
Speaker 9: Manning in nineteen seventy one. And so it's a team
Speaker 9: that just does not invested the resources in it. But
Speaker 9: they this feels like the year if any and so
Speaker 9: they have a decision. Do they go about and pull
Speaker 9: the trigger on a Shador Sanders or a Jackson Dart
Speaker 9: or do they wait till twenty twenty six where Arch
Speaker 9: Manning may be an option there at quarterback for them
Speaker 9: as a team.
Speaker 3: That's going to be something they do their homeworking.
Speaker 9: They you guys had Sanders on The Insiders yesterday in
Speaker 9: a great interview there he talked about changing a franchise.
Speaker 9: The Saints are a team that needs some juice, needs
Speaker 9: some hope, all things that Sanders brings as accurate quarterbacks,
Speaker 9: as a brand, as a person. So maybe it is
Speaker 9: perfect timing. And if it's not Sanders, maybe it's Jackson
Speaker 9: dark who they also have.
Speaker 3: Done homework on.
Speaker 9: They were at his pro dae at Ole Miss their
Speaker 9: head coach Kellen Moore, their offensive coordinat Doug Nismeyer, and
Speaker 9: their quarterback cut Scott Tolzene. They also had Tyler Shuck
Speaker 9: and the Louisville quarterback for a visit, I'm told today.
Speaker 9: And so this is a Saints team that is preparing
Speaker 9: for the future, and that timeline may have been expedited
Speaker 9: even more with the Derek Carr News.
Speaker 3: Great analysis.
Speaker 2: Cam.
Speaker 4: Let's go to the team in your backyard and I
Speaker 4: let's say a somewhat familiar name for those who follow
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins. Mason Taylor, a tight end prospect in
Speaker 4: this upcoming NFL draft. Tell me why you're talking about
Speaker 4: him and the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a cool story.
Speaker 9: Mason Taylor's the sun of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor,
Speaker 9: and he visited the Dolphins on a visit yesterday.
Speaker 3: He's a guy who's one of the top tight ends
Speaker 3: in this draft.
Speaker 9: From what I've been told, he could go anywhere from
Speaker 9: laden the first round to the middle of the second round,
Speaker 9: and the Dolphins are a team that has a second
Speaker 9: round pick at forty eight.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's an option there.
Speaker 9: His uncle is also Zach Thomas, who was a legend
Speaker 9: for the Dolphins too, and so it would be a
Speaker 9: cool story if something like that happened in a reunion.
Speaker 9: But he's a guy who's got a lot of interest
Speaker 9: from teams throughout this draft process. So I'm told he
Speaker 9: has a visit with the Cleveland Browns scheduled for Monday,
Speaker 9: and that's a team that also has an early second
Speaker 9: round pick. He visited the Seahawks and visit the Charger.
Speaker 9: So while those of us at home are feeling a
Speaker 9: little old scene highlights of Jason Taylor and now knowing
Speaker 9: his son's coming in, his son's going to be able
Speaker 9: to create his own legacy. He's a guy who had
Speaker 9: a lot of success as a pass catcher at LSU.
Speaker 3: He really wanted to shoot, show that he could block.
Speaker 9: He had twenty eight bench press reps at his pro
Speaker 9: day ran a four to sixty five. And so he
Speaker 9: could be a guy that here's his name called earlier
Speaker 9: than people expect. So the Saints also another team that
Speaker 9: has interested in Mason Taylor. I'm told maybe he doesn't
Speaker 9: go too far as well.
Speaker 4: And Mason Taylor would be a big time prospect, regardless
Speaker 4: of what his last name is. Certainly adds to the
Speaker 4: intrigue cam. Thank you as always for joining us, excellent stuff.
Speaker 1: The countdown is on for the twenty twenty five NFL Draft,
