1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: The bleak Willis era has begun in Miami and he.

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Has oh about forty five million reasons to feel great

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: about his decision. But how long will it be until

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 2: the Dolphins can compete in the AFC East. Here for

00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: week in free agency, with the defending champs keeping and

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: losing some key players while everybody else plays catchup. Seahawks

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: linebacker Ernest Jones and new Bucks running back Kenneth Gainwell

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: joined the show tonight to break down everything. The NFL

10

Speaker 2: stat which means it's Pro day season. We are on

00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: the scene at USC were top prospect Mackay Lemon was

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: just one of the stars.

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the.

Speaker 2: We got tons to get to, so let's dive right

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: in with the breaking news. Within the past hour, it

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: is now official to I'm Pro Bowl Quarterback Kyler Murray

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: has signed a one year contract with the Vikings. Murray

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: will make thirty six point eight million dollars this season,

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: but it'll be the Cardinals, paying all but the minimum salary.

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: The deal also includes a no tag clause, which means

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: Murray gets to hit free agency again next March. He's

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: already in the building. He passed his physical and he's

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: happy to be there.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: I want to thank God.

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 4: I want to thank the Will family.

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: I want to thank Rob, I want to thank coach

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: O'Connell for giving me this great opportunity. I'm super excited.

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: I can't wait to touch the field as a Minnesota Viking.

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: It's a great day for me and my family. And

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: again I want to I want to say I cannot wait.

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to be touched that field and be

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: a Minnesota Viking. Like I said, I'm just grateful for

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: the opportunity, grateful for the opportunity, you know. I look

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: forward to coming in and competing and getting to learn

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: the offense, getting to be with coach O'Connell. Obviously he's

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: had a lot of success. And again I'm just looking

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: for looking forward to the opportunity to come in here

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: and competing. Ever since I started playing tackle football, I

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: was seven years old. I was seven years old. Genuine

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: genuine fandom, you know, ran deep Vikings gear through and

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: through a lot of purple in my household. I don't

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: want to bring it up right now, but maybe later

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: another day. It was a lot, it was a moment.

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: I'll bring it up anyways. Whatever I cried, I cried

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: real tiers whenever, you know, whenever bred through that interception,

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: I've cried real tiers that day.

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Step one is Vikings quarterback. Make sure that you know

51
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: how to spell skull. You can see him right there

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: in a Vikings uniform playing youth football. Step two, say

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: something as relatable to every person in Minnesota as yep

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: cried went far through the interception back in the two

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: thousand and nine NFC Championship game. This isn't dream come

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: true in many ways ian for Kyler Murray. But first

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: things first, he now has to beat out JJ McCarthy

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: in what should be one of the most fascinating quarterback

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: battles that we see this summer.

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: You know several things here.

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: First of all, that was an amazing picture, like the

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: fact that you've become a lifelong fan of the team

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 5: when you're like a pee wee, I mean, that is

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: the coolest thing. This was already a great story, and

65
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 5: for Kyler Murray what hopefully is a career resurgence for him.

66
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: But growing up a Vikings fan and really speaking to

67
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: the fans on your introductory press commence, I mean, it

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: is all exceptionally cool for Kyler Murray. And look, I

69
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: think it's fair to say this was a signing we

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: all expected. We've been talking about it for several days.

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 5: Probably the best quarterback spot around goes to probably the

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 5: most decorated quarterback who was a free agent. But now

73
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: it's time to get to work, and for Kyler Murray,

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: this is, like you said, Tom, going to be a

75
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 5: fascinating one.

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm already thinking about.

77
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: Training camp, going to visit Minnesota, checking in on the

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: quarterback battle and just see where it's going to land

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: with Kyler v JJ McCarthy. And I don't know if

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: there is a bad outcome for the Vikings. If Kyler

81
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: Murray re establishes himself as a starting quarterback a franchise

82
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: god in.

83
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: The league, that is great.

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: If JJ McCarthy he beats him out and he becomes

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: the franchise guy, that also is excellent. Either way, all

86
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: eyes are going to be on Minnesota this summer and

87
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: beyond with a really, really interesting quarterback battle.

88
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 6: I mean, let's be realistic about this. This feels like

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 6: a lot more than just competition for JJ McCarthy. Any

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 6: other veteran quarterback that comes in that would have come

91
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 6: in would have been competition for JJ McCarthy and you

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 6: could have said, Okay, well, they hope that that spurs

93
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy to raise his game. This is a guy

94
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 6: who can legitimately be the quarterback of the future for

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings. His ceiling is so much higher than

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 6: any of the other veteran quarterbacks they could have brought.

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: In to compete.

98
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 6: His worst seasons are still much better than JJ McCarthy

99
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 6: looked last year, and JJ McCarthy is starting from well

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 6: behind Kyler Murray. I mean, he obviously was injured last year.

101
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 6: He's had inconsistencies, and he's had injury issues throughout his career.

102
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 6: But when he's healthy, he throws for almost four thousand yards.

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 6: That last year he was healthy, he was twenty twenty four.

104
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 6: He had twenty one passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns.

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 6: He rushed for over five hundred yards that season. So

106
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 6: he's a really good quarterback. I think because Arizona did

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 6: not win a ton when he was there, they had

108
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 6: other deficiencies, and I think that sort of overshadowed that

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 6: when he is on the field, he is still a

110
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 6: really dynamic playmaking talent. Again, his ceiling is really high.

111
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 6: It's he is starting from ahead in this competition, even

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: though he is not the incumbent.

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Kyler only twenty eight years old.

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Still, even though it feels like he's been in the

115
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: league for a long time, not much to negotiate when

116
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy with all that fully guaranteed

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: money coming to him. It was going to be a

118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: minimum salary. But what his agent, Eric Burkhart, did negotiate

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: is that no tag clause, which means that if Kyler

120
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: goes out and plays the way that he expects to

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: wins that job, helps himself, plays well through the season,

122
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: he sets up as the number one free agent hitting

123
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: the market next March. Means we would be talking plenty

124
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: about Kyler Murray at this time one year from now,

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: But first going up against JJ McCarthy, who, by the way,

126
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: they wanted to give him competition last year, it didn't

127
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: come together quite that way. The hope is this elevates

128
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: everybody competing through the summer. Blake Willis has a new home.

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: It is in Miami. One of the biggest free agent signings,

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: the number one free agent on Greg Rosenthal's board at

131
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: NFL dot com putting pen to paper today on a

132
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: three year contract. Here's a little what Willis said to say.

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of great reasons to be here.

134
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 7: I mean, those two guys are the biggest ones in

135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 7: my opinion. As far as what I see this organization

136
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 7: and this team becoming. I can't see the future, but

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 7: I know is they're going to put in the work

138
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 7: each and every day, just as well as I would

139
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 7: try to do the same, whatever role, whatever leadership, whatever

140
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 7: it is. They brought me in as a piece of

141
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 7: the puzzle that they want to put here, and I'm

142
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 7: grateful and honored to be a part of that.

143
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones not switching teams, but he also got a

144
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: new contract two years up to one hundred million dollars

145
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: after initially getting the transition tag from the Colts. There

146
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: wasn't a whole lot of drama here though, because the

147
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Colts wanted Daniel Jones, and Jones definitely wanted to be

148
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis.

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 8: I'd just like to say thanks to the to everyone involved,

150
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 8: to my agents, to the to Chris Ballard, Mike Bloom

151
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 8: and the team here, and then obviously grateful to the

152
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 8: Ersay family and and this organization for believing in me

153
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 8: and give me a chance, you know, give me a

154
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 8: chance last year to come in here, and then certainly

155
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 8: this year. So I'm excited and thrilled to be back.

156
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 8: This is a special place with you know, really really

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 8: good people who care about football, care about winning, care

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 8: about the the players.

159
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 9: You obviously have the injury, and those things always complicate

160
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 9: these matters.

161
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: I mean, how did you contextualize that? And do you

162
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: do you think that was something that had to be.

163
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 10: Confronted or dealt with, you know then during this process.

164
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I can see.

165
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 8: You know that it's real, you know, part part of

166
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 8: the process, and I understand the team has to take

167
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 8: that into two account. I'm very confident and uh, you know,

168
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 8: being back to one hundred percent and ready to go

169
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 8: and working every day to do that. I have really

170
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 8: good people helping me get there. So yeah, I'm very

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 8: very confident that, but I understand it's a consideration for

172
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 8: the team and they have to take that too into

173
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 8: into account. Yeah, I'm confident I'll be ready to go.

174
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 8: I think my goal was to be ready for week one.

175
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 8: You know. With that being said, I understand it is

176
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 8: a process and there's there's a lot of work to do,

177
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 8: you know, and uh, you know, I'm ready to do it.

178
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Free agency frenzy is over, which means it's time to

179
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: turn our attention to the NFL Draft. USC's pro day

180
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: happened today. Our bridge at Condon was on the scene.

181
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 11: A beautiful day for USC pro Day. All eyes on

182
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 11: receiver Makai Lemon, the five eleven receiver expected to be

183
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 11: one of the top wide receivers taken in next month's

184
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 11: NFL Draft. He did participate at the NFL Combine last month,

185
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 11: but did most of his on field workout here today.

186
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 11: He ran a forty yard dash with an unofficial time

187
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 11: of four four seven, did the three cone drill, and

188
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 11: also ran the route tree. I watched him at one

189
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 11: point go up to a group of scouts and give

190
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 11: him a thumbs up, making sure that they got everything

191
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 11: they needed and talking with people. That's the kind of

192
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 11: guy the team will get whoever drafts him. A guy

193
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 11: willing to do whatever it takes all. Thirty two teams

194
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 11: were represented from the NFL here at usc including the

195
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 11: Rams General manager Les Snead. I asked him what do

196
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 11: you like most about Mackay. He said, he's a guy

197
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 11: that just makes watching football feel fun. Another receiver here

198
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 11: getting a lot of interest because of his performance at

199
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 11: last month's NFL combine is Jacoby Lane, the six to

200
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 11: four receiver who a lot of people are telling me.

201
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 11: He's somebody who has just continued to improve. Former wide

202
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 11: receiver in the NFL. TJ houshman Zada is his trainer instead,

203
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 11: from the first time they got together until now, there

204
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 11: has been so much improvement, saying he just keeps getting

205
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 11: better and better. He even said that this is a

206
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 11: guy who he believes, in the right situation, with the

207
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 11: right team, he could be a Pro bowler in year two.

208
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 11: One other thing to note, former Trojan and current Bears

209
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 11: quarterback Caleb Williams was in attendance here today supporting his

210
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 11: former teammates.

211
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bridget.

212
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: As we look ahead to some of the other notable

213
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: pro days upcoming, hard to look anywhere other than the

214
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: last one on that list. April first, not a joke Indiana,

215
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza going to show up with the Fellows one

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: last time before he adds to I don't know.

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Las Vegas.

218
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 5: Free agency frenzy may have slowed, but it has not stopped.

219
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: Now.

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: Today, Jakwan Brisker, former standout safety for the Chicago Bears,

221
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sources tell The Inside

222
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: is in a deal done by Andre Odom and AJ Stevens.

223
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 5: It is a one year, five point five million dollar

224
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 5: deal for Brisker.

225
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Mike Evans got a lot more. He got a lot more.

226
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 5: Three for sixty for Mike Evans sixteen point five million

227
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 5: in the first year with the San Francisco forty nine Ers.

228
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 5: That's Tim Signing's name on the dotted line with a feather.

229
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: And after that he talked to reporters about his new

230
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 5: landing spot.

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 9: Football wise, this was the best spot for me, for sure.

232
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 9: And I've always appreciated how the Niners went about their

233
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 9: business on the football field. And you know, I got

234
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 9: some guys here that have always told me great things

235
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 9: about this organization. And I've always loved the way Kyle

236
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 9: calls the games. Actually well, first off, I did my

237
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 9: research on a lot of teams that I was looking at.

238
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 9: I was looking at you know, contenders, guys with good

239
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 9: quarterbacks obviously, so I was looking at here, Buffalo Bills,

240
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 9: you know, teams that needed a number one wide receiver.

241
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 9: But when I got on I like this place. This

242
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 9: is my number one spot on my own. And then

243
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 9: I talked to John and Kyle and He's solidified it

244
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 9: for me. So I've always been a fan of Kyle,

245
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 9: like I said previously, and he just talked about how

246
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 9: he sees me in this offense and it just made

247
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 9: me even happier. And there was a no brainer really

248
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 9: after I got on the phone with him.

249
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: Is the week in the NFL for transactions. Of course,

250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: these Super Bowl champs have been full of them as well,

251
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: losing a couple of their key stars to Bowl MVP

252
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: Ken Walker has one, Kobe Bryant boy mafe Riek Wollen,

253
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 5: keeping some of their other studs though, including Rashid Shaheed

254
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 5: and of course one player who is not a free

255
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: agent resigned last year before free agency actually is our

256
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 5: good friend Ernest Jones, the fourth who you might recognize

257
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: him from some such times as celebrating the Super Bowl.

258
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: The world is watching.

259
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 4: The bat has been on the planet.

260
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Let's go.

261
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was hunting right, we got it. We're about

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: to get him. I'm playing with my quarterback, bro Man.

263
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: We're bad.

264
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: We're bad, not going anywhere. Ernest Jones back for year six,

265
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 5: and of course our good friend here on the inside

266
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: as you watch the show, you know him. Well, welcome

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 5: back with us, Ernest, Thank you for joining us. You

268
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 5: saw some of those clips and obviously you're miked up

269
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 5: watching all that from your super Bowl win. Does it

270
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 5: feel like that was yesterday or does it feel like

271
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 5: that was one hundred years ago?

272
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: It feels like a hundred years ago.

273
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 12: Man, I miss it so bad, you know, sitting there

274
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 12: seeing those clips, you can you can feel, you know, what.

275
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: You were feeling in those moments. And I won't lie

276
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: to you.

277
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 12: I missed that stage and missed that feeling that you

278
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 12: had during that time.

279
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: So when we last talked to you, you were or

280
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: just kind of a couple of days out from the

281
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, still celebrating, still smiling, all of that good stuff.

282
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: How much time did you take to really just kind

283
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 5: of marinate in the win and uh turn the focus

284
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 5: onto all right, Well, next season's coming. I got to

285
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: get ready for that.

286
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 12: I mean, I think I've bad send it Lake Gloria

287
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 12: for about two weeks, and then you start realizing once

288
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 12: they start sending you messages about you know, win's OTA's

289
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 12: and you know when when when we would have to

290
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 12: be back. It's pretty humbling, man. So you got to

291
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 12: you gotta, you know, have a short lease when it

292
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 12: comes to just celebrating these things. So it took two

293
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 12: weeks and now you know, just getting a body ready

294
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 12: for year six and you know, another opportunity for us

295
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 12: to go, you know, win it again.

296
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 5: So free agency Frenzy was just the last four or

297
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 5: five days. It was crazy. And we'll get into some

298
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: of that stuff. The Seahawks had several big name players

299
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: that were up as free agents and wanted to get paid.

300
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: Some return, some did not. I was curious to take

301
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 5: a look at some of the guys who did not

302
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 5: return and return and including Kenneth Walker would be one,

303
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 5: Greek Wollen would be another. There are several others. What

304
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 5: did you think of some of those guys getting the

305
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: very deserved paydays but obviously walking out the door.

306
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it starts there, man.

307
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 12: First, before anything, you know, I'd love to have them

308
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 12: on back on this team, but I understand, man, we

309
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 12: all we got families to take care of.

310
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: And you know, honestly, that's what we did it for.

311
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 12: We said it, you know early on as a team,

312
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 12: like man, we go out here and we perform it

313
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 12: and we win the Super Bowl. The guys that get

314
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 12: paid so to see us living that out what we

315
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 12: talked about, you know, still it's big, it's key.

316
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: Those guys deserve it.

317
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 7: Now.

318
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 12: It does suck for the Seahawks because those are some

319
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 12: really good football players.

320
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: But in turn, you know, you just got to trust

321
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: the organization.

322
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 12: Trust you know, the ability that we have for the

323
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 12: guys that's in that room, that are already in that room,

324
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 12: and let's just go.

325
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: Let's just go play ball.

326
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: So as far as were they went, you had Kenith

327
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: Walker going to the Chief should Reek Wolan going to

328
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 5: the Eagles, Kobe going to the Chicago Bears. Any of

329
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: those fits you like particularly good, like any of those

330
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: places you say, all, well, this guy's gonna go kill

331
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: it here.

332
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, they all are gonna kill it.

333
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 12: The Kobe went to Chicago, just how they play defense.

334
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 12: They got a guy that plays he plays defense the

335
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 12: right way.

336
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: K nine.

337
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 12: He's gonna go over there to Kansas City and they're

338
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 12: gonna love him.

339
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 13: Man.

340
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: That's why I said it sucks, because each four of these.

341
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 12: Guys, man, each for of these guys, they're gonna do

342
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 12: nothing but bring you know, already good teams to even

343
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 12: better situations. So Ree, he's gonna go out there in

344
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 12: ballin Philly, they're gonna love him. And boy, he's a

345
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 12: dog man. He's gonna go out there and do the

346
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 12: job in Cincinnati. So, like I said, unfortunately for us,

347
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 12: I hate it, but they're gonna love it all right.

348
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: So there was some good news. Rashid Shaheed is back,

349
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 5: Josh Job is back. Also Drake Thomas Sherler partner in

350
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 5: crime over there, not back as he never left, but

351
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: did sign a new extension. What were your reactions to

352
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: getting some of those guys back and did you find

353
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: out on social media or do they give you a

354
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: little heads up?

355
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: I found out on social media.

356
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 12: It was funny because Joe Job's wife and my wife

357
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 12: we had got the news.

358
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: It broke the news, so then we hit them up, you.

359
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 12: Know, immediately, and they were like, dang, how did you know,

360
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 12: I was like, most of the times the world finds

361
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 12: out before you do, so that was pretty funny. But

362
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 12: those those guys, man, they glad to have them back. Rashid, Drake,

363
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 12: Joe Man, Josh Jones, they were all big pieces and

364
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 12: helped us out this year. So it's gonna be key

365
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 12: to get those guys back. And you know, now having Rashid,

366
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 12: I think for a full year, full off season, how

367
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 12: he can impact us on offense, I think will be big.

368
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 5: One of the things about Seattle and specifically John Schneider,

369
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 5: who I know, you know well and he is I

370
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 5: think it's safe to say one of the best in

371
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 5: the NFL. All those drafts, all this draft picks seem

372
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 5: to hit, I mean, which is why Seattle's kind of

373
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: in the predicament. Because you got Jay saying you got

374
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 5: to pay, you got Witherspoon, You've had Cross, I mean

375
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 5: literally like endless amount of.

376
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Draft picks who have had success.

377
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 5: What do you think of the organization sort of draft

378
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 5: and develop ways, because you know a lot of times

379
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 5: you have Super Bowl champions and it's like, oh, we

380
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 5: got to pay these guys, we got to keep them

381
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 5: bird because you guys have drafted to well, like you can.

382
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: It feels to me at least like you can.

383
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 5: Rely on the draft to be like it is. Okay,

384
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: We're gonna find other ways to have really good players

385
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: in here.

386
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 12: You know, I think I got really good, you know,

387
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 12: trusted faith in what they're doing. Because when I got

388
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 12: to this team, man searching for guys that played the

389
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 12: game the right way and played the game and you know,

390
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 12: the way.

391
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be played. That's rare. And they had

392
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: fifty something.

393
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 12: Guys already when I got here, so you could tell

394
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 12: they've been drafting. Well, this is something that they you know,

395
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 12: they do. So I just trust in the process. You know,

396
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 12: there's some big names out there. We love to have them,

397
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 12: but I trust in our work and trusting our coaches

398
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 12: and knowing that we can, you know, we can go

399
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 12: do this again.

400
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 4: Just take it one day at a time, all right.

401
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: One more question for you.

402
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: One of the big stories of free agency was the

403
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 5: Match Crosby trade to the Ravens, and obviously he is

404
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 5: not getting traded the Ravens going back to the Raiders

405
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 5: with the physical just not being something that the Baltimore

406
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 5: Ravens were comfortable with. How closely were you following it

407
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: and what were your thoughts on the craziness surrounding Crosby situation.

408
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 12: I was, I kind of once I once I found

409
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 12: out he was he was going to Baltimore, and you know,

410
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 12: you you you be on you're on social media, so

411
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 12: you see MaTx Crosby maybe linked to the Seahawks, so

412
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 12: you're thinking there's a chance. So once I've seen him

413
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 12: go to Baltimore, you know, I thought it was it

414
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 12: was kind of over for us. Then you get that

415
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 12: news and you know it's it's unfortunate, but you know,

416
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 12: I think everything happens for a reason. God has a

417
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 12: plan for Max, and I think it was his plan

418
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 12: to be back in Las Vegas. A tough situation to

419
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 12: be let go from a team to have to return,

420
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 12: but as long as everybody are grown in about it,

421
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 12: you know anything can go forward.

422
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 5: Well said Ernest, thank you very much for joining us

423
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 5: on the Insiders. I really appreciate you all pro season

424
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 5: last year. Looking forward to see what you have in

425
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 5: store for us next. Be well man and have a

426
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: great rest of your off season.

427
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, thank you.

428
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 5: All ready to talk about with Seattle, but we're still

429
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: talking about the Minnesota Vikings because Kyler Murray has now

430
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: officially signed in Minnesota. Our good friend Steve Weisch joined

431
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: his show to tell us what he thinks about Kyler,

432
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 5: and we'll get to some other quarterback analysis as well.

433
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: Breaking news tonight, Kyler Murray is officially a Minnesota Viking,

434
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: the two time Pro Bowl quarterback, former number one overall pick,

435
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: signing a one year deal with Minnesota. He's going to

436
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: make thirty six point eight million dollars this season, though

437
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: the Cardinals will be paying all but the minimum salary.

438
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: Also gets a no tag clause, which means if this

439
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: whole thing goes the way that Murray wants it to,

440
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: he'll be a top free agent again next March. Hardy

441
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: nailed the spelling skull, which makes sense since Kyler says

442
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: he grew up a Vikings fan. Shed tears when far

443
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: through that interception, and Kyler, you don't even want to

444
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: know about all the things that happened before you were born.

445
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the end. Tom Pelicero and another former Minnesotan,

446
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: Steve Whitch, is with us right Here's Steve. Yet another

447
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: move that we've seen teams bringing in these veterans, some

448
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: of them on minimum type contracts and really kind of

449
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: putting some young quarterbacks like JJ McCarthy on notice that

450
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: it's go time.

451
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely, hit Thomas. Somebody grew up in Minnesota. I'm

452
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 14: still crying tears that were Drew Pearson's hail Mary over Nate. Right,

453
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 14: that's how old I am. Way back there and steps

454
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 14: to push off. There we go the push off.

455
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: You know it. Well, look, this is a situation.

456
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 14: We're seeing these young quarterbacks who once we're supposed to

457
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 14: be the face of the franchise gets get pushed. And

458
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 14: now JJ McCarthy in Minneapolis, he's really got to come

459
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 14: in and compete. Because Kyler Murray, this is not a

460
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 14: deal where he's being brought brought into me the backup.

461
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 14: This is a one year deal with a no franchise

462
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 14: tag clause added on to it, which means he's trying

463
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 14: to parlay this into something bigger. And also after what

464
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 14: happened last year offensively with just a catastrophe in Minnesota,

465
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 14: they are trying to win ball games.

466
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: And we know how good.

467
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 14: Of a player Kyler Murray is when he's healthy. He's

468
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 14: someone who could really come in and add some electric

469
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 14: juice to that team. So JJ McCarthy better understand what

470
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 14: he's up against and maybe parlay his limited opportunities even

471
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 14: at preseason into something bigger.

472
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: Gino Smith is a jent again, far different circumstances than

473
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: when he was a second round pick out of West Virginia.

474
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: Now he seasoned quarterback Steve who has been around the block,

475
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: and at a time where New York has yet to

476
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: make a decision on exactly what's gonna happen with Justin Fields.

477
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, if you're Justin Fields, this really seems

478
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 14: like the writings on the wall. There's been plenty of

479
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 14: reports out there in conversation about him being traded or

480
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 14: being cut outright. It just hasn't worked. He's had opportunities

481
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 14: at multiple stops. He has not been able to hold

482
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 14: on to a starting job. He's not been able to

483
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 14: stay healthy. They bent him last year before putting him

484
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 14: on ir. Gino was brought over to start a look

485
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 14: at their free agency moves to all the veterans that

486
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 14: they signed.

487
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: They are trying to win right away.

488
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 14: There's no more time, it seems like for Justin Fields

489
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 14: to figure out who and what he is, especially when

490
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 14: they know that Gino Smith can do.

491
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: A job a certain way, Gino making it a little

492
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: bit more than the minimum, all part of the horse

493
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: trading that went on to get him to agree to

494
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 2: a restructure contract, get him over there, and the Raiders

495
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: getting something resembling draft pick compensation. Another guy making the

496
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: minimum Tua tongue of Aloa who heads to Atlanta where

497
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: Michael Pennicks Junior is still recovering from that knee surgery.

498
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: What are you making the prognosis from what you know, Steven,

499
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: how this entire situation plays out?

500
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, Tom, this is where it's gonna be a really

501
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 14: interesting competition because the main thing is Michael Penick's recovering

502
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 14: from that knee injury. If he is on track, and

503
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 14: everyone says he's been in the building, working hard, doing

504
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 14: everything he's supposed to do, but he still might not

505
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 14: be able to get the snaps that often in offseason workouts.

506
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 14: That's where TUA comes in with a new coaching staff

507
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 14: led by Kevin Stefanski, bringing an offense which is very

508
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 14: too friendly timing getting the ball out to the receivers

509
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 14: as a TUA does well, So Kevin Stefanski wants so

510
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 14: Michael Pennick's one.

511
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Has to get healthy.

512
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 14: But if his rehab is delayed in anyway, or if

513
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 14: Tua fits into this offensive scheme right, it'll be real

514
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 14: intriguing to see when Mike Penix finally does hit the field,

515
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 14: if at all, this is going to be the competition

516
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 14: to watch during training camp.

517
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in Miami, to still the highest paid quarterback though

518
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: he is no longer on the roster, they're going to

519
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: pay about fifty three million dollars this season.

520
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: Quinn Yours is still there.

521
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: That's the guy who filled in after Tua was benched

522
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: late last season. Yet now he signed Malik Willis. He

523
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: gets forty five million dollars fully guaranteed over two. Certainly

524
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: seems like it's a walk in the door starter situation.

525
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 2: So what does that mean for yours and the broader

526
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 2: quarterback plan in Miami.

527
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 14: Well, this is one where because he's just going into

528
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 14: his second year, you don't bail on him.

529
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: Bobby sloyk Is, He's.

530
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 14: Got a younger quarterback, a talented quarterback to develop, and

531
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 14: this is one where yours you want him to develop

532
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 14: if you're the team, and for yours has an opportunity

533
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 14: to develop in the offseason, in the preseason, so when

534
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 14: he gets his snaps, he can parlay himself into the

535
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 14: next Malik Willis. Malik Willis had limited starting opportunities, and

536
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 14: we saw him improve and improve all those opportunities that

537
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 14: he got. That's what several quarterbacks going back to Matt

538
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 14: Shaub who would get preseason reps and sit behind Michael

539
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 14: Vick parlayed into starting jobs. So Miami does not seem

540
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 14: like they're in any hurry to get rid of Quinn yours,

541
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 14: even though Malik Willis looks like to be the starter.

542
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 14: That's a player to develop, a very talented young player.

543
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 2: At that time, Steve, we are required to continue talking

544
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: about the Ravens and various past rushers who are or

545
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: not on their team.

546
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: We'll do that with you in just a little bit.

547
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: But first, Judy.

548
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 6: Ernest Jones, the Fort just told us the Chiefs are

549
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 6: going to love Kenneth Walker. He signed his contract today

550
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 6: and there he is, He's this here is the Super

551
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: Bowl MVP on his new team.

552
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 13: Yeah.

553
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 15: So winning coaching, you know, watching over the years, been

554
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 15: a plenty of Super Bowls, and you know they know

555
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 15: how to win. So I feel like it's a great

556
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 15: fit for me. When I came here, you know, he

557
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 15: tweeted out and you know coming to on my Instagram too,

558
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 15: so and then we talked on the phone and text

559
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 15: each other so and I was able to see him

560
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 15: to day. So it was cool to meet him, real

561
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 15: genuine person.

562
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 6: It's time for Roster refresh, presented by Chapoteleane. We bring

563
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 6: in our Mark Ross. I that we're going to be

564
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 6: doing this a whole lot in the next few weeks. Mark,

565
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: Let's start with the Carolina Panthers, who were busy the

566
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 6: last few days. They remade their defense. Basically, what do

567
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 6: you think of their moves? How much of a leap

568
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 6: do you think they can make?

569
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 10: Absolutely love Carolina's moves and look judy and free agency.

570
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 10: A lot of teams sign a lot of players, have

571
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 10: a lot of quantity, but are they really making the

572
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 10: team better?

573
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: Are they upgrading? Well?

574
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 10: For Carolina, they had extreme positions of need and I

575
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 10: think they filled it with absolute superstars and playmakers there

576
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 10: in spending that money in Jalen Phillips and Devin Lloyd

577
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 10: to pair with Derek Brown and JC Horn in the

578
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 10: back end to give them playmakers at all levels, similar

579
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 10: to how Seattle's defense is constructed, where they had playmakers

580
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 10: at all levels. The Carolina Panthers overachieved last year on defense,

581
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 10: but they were thirty first in the league on third.

582
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: Down and twenty eighth in sack.

583
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 10: So these two guys will absolutely help improve on those numbers.

584
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 10: And I think for the Carolina Panthers finding the form

585
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 10: of that mens in Seattle, all the kind of good

586
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 10: teams last year, defense carried them and now we'll see

587
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 10: that again next year where they can go in say look,

588
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 10: we can stole down anybody. And and now the offense,

589
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 10: you guys get things done, bright show and go score

590
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 10: some points for us.

591
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: All right.

592
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 6: The Baltimore Ravens led free agency in drama. How did

593
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 6: they do in every other department?

594
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 10: Well, the roster refresh was kind of forced upon the Ravens.

595
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 10: First they tried to dictate it, then it got forced

596
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 10: back on that. But in the end, Judy, I think

597
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 10: this refresh is good that it didn't go through because

598
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 10: I would much rather have Trey Henderson and those two

599
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 10: first round picks than just Max Crosby. I think the

600
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 10: Ravens issues want more beyond just having to get Max

601
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 10: Crosby comes saved today, Trey Henderson still gives you that

602
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 10: similar production, maybe even better as a pass rusher, maybe

603
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 10: not as good as Max in the run game, but

604
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 10: gives you that pass rush.

605
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: And now you still have.

606
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 10: Those first round picks, one this year, one next year

607
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 10: to help your roster because the Ravens got decimated in

608
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 10: free agency with key losses namely Tyler Lindebaum, Issaia likely

609
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 10: Alowi Gilman and the like Draymont Jones, so they still

610
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 10: have a lot of holes to fill there and they

611
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 10: got roster refresh which will help out with those two

612
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 10: first round picks.

613
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Mark, thank you very much.

614
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: Jonathan Allen, the former Vikings eventsive tackle who was released

615
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 5: a couple days ago, is signing a two year, twenty

616
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 5: six million dollars deal with the Bengals to help four

617
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: to five things up front for Los Angeles Chargers. It

618
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 5: was out with the old, in with also the old

619
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: the same old person, Denzel Pairman, friend of the show

620
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 5: by the way, thirty three years old, still doing it,

621
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 5: one of the more physical linebackers. He goes to the

622
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: Chargers again, and Keithon Mitchell goes to the Chargers for

623
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: the first time of those plenty of former Ravens personnel there.

624
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 5: He gets a two year, nine point two five million

625
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: dollar deal for Los Angeles.

00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 9: For Rogers back, and he's going to throw right and

627
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 9: deep again a.

628
00:28:59,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Lot of time.

629
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 4: Takedown Field did Gagwell catch that?

630
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: He did? Holy mackerel.

631
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: He was laying down on the ground.

632
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 9: Soup Pine caught it, picked it up, ran it into

633
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 9: the end zone and oh, I think you caught it.

634
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: It hit his right elbow, bounced up into his body.

635
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: He's spun up.

636
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 6: This is incredible, insane touchdown catch by Kenny Gainwell.

637
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: There. That was Week sixteen against the Lands, and look

638
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: at that.

639
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 6: He and alex Adzaloni are now teammates on the Tampa

640
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 6: Bay Bucks. They were part of Bucks free agency, the

641
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 6: early part of free agency. You can see their additions

642
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 6: there and of course their losses. We are lucky enough

643
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 6: to be joined by Kenny Gainwell right now on the Insiders,

644
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 6: I'm Judy Batista. That's Ian Rappaport.

645
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: Kenny.

646
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 6: First of all, congratulations, I know like you just signed

647
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 6: the contract a few minutes ago.

648
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: How are you feeling.

649
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good.

650
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 13: I'm happy, my family happy, I'm happy I'm here, I'm

652
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 13: much as I wanted to right now.

653
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: Extremely happy about this, all.

654
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: Right, So these could be stressful times, right contract is expiring,

655
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 5: you wait to be a free agent, but you really

656
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 5: don't know what's out there. Obviously last year ended up

657
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 5: signing a one year deal with the Steelers and then

658
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 5: sort of saying, all right, I'm going to go out

659
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 5: and prove it. What have the last week or so?

660
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 5: What has the last week or so just been like

661
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: for you? And then kind of take us through like

662
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: how you found out where you're going, and give us

663
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: the TikTok a little bit.

664
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 13: It was you know, it was a little stressful. It

665
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 13: was a little press ful. I mean, I would just

666
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 13: you know, waiting on a great opportunity to come through

667
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 13: for me, and man Tampa Bay was dead set on

668
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 13: an opportunity I wanted to take in. You know, it's

669
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 13: just me myself again, you know, ben on myself and

670
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 13: going out here and find a great place for me

671
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 13: and just ready to play with the guy that's in

672
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 13: his room, the running back room, and you know, just

673
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 13: do great.

674
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: Things with ba.

675
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 6: What do you know about Baker Mayfield. What if they

676
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 6: told you what kind of conversations have you had with

677
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 6: Fox folks.

678
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 13: I haven't had it coming stations, yeah, but I'm pretty

679
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 13: sure we will here soon. But man, I'm just decided

680
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 13: to play with them. I know his attitude towards the

681
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 13: game and how he played football.

682
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: That's my mindset too.

683
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 13: I go into this thing with full blown head, full

684
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 13: steam ahead, and just trying to play football as hard

685
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 13: as I Man. I love his attitude towards the game,

686
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 13: and it's going to prove it to you know myself

687
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 13: that I want to play the same way.

688
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: I want to go back a little bit because I

689
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 5: mentioned we were talking about the one year proven deal

690
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 5: you took with the Steelers, and obviously you.

691
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: Did prove it.

692
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 5: You ere in this really nice contract with the Tampa

693
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 5: Bay Buccaneers. Was there a moment kind of going into

694
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 5: this when you're like, all right, I think I think

695
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 5: we're going to be in a good spot, because you know,

696
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 5: as a running back, like you don't always get the

697
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: nice deal, right. Sometimes you got to prove it and

698
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 5: prove it again and prove it again.

699
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: Was there a moment either.

700
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 5: That last season in the offseason where you realize like,

701
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 5: all right, this is all going to be pretty good.

702
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Man.

703
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 13: When I went into you know, last season, the deal

704
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 13: I had, you know, I was just Okay, let me

705
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 13: go out here and try to prove myself and prove

706
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 13: to everyone that don't know me or the things that

707
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 13: I can do on the field, and go out there

708
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 13: and show them that I can do it, you know.

709
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 13: And when the opportunity came for me to, you know,

710
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 13: do that, I did and I showed up every game

711
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 13: that you know, I got an opportunity to get a

712
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 13: ball in my hand, and that's something I've been doing

713
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 13: in all my career. It hasn't been shown, you know,

714
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 13: but right now I'm taking full advantage of it. And

715
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 13: I'm happy that, you know, Temple Bay gave me an

716
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 13: opportunity again to you know, go out there and improve

717
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 13: myself once again.

718
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 6: I mean, you really proved it last year. You had

719
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 6: a breakout season. You were the Steelers MVP. Aaron Rodgers

720
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 6: raved about you, said he wished he played with you

721
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 6: for ten years, like raving about your football, IQ. How

722
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 6: were you able to sort of take that leap last year?

723
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 6: You were on a one year contract. How you bet

724
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 6: on yourself. How were you able to elevate your game

725
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 6: like that?

726
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 13: I think it is something I always had in myself,

727
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 13: you know, and just just Aaron. I say, Aaron had that,

728
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 13: you know, he had that looking inside the spot, a

729
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 13: good guy, you know, and and.

730
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: I just stuck with it the whole year.

731
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 13: Shout out to Jalen, you know, because we helped each

732
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 13: other and throughout the whole year to want to be great,

733
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 13: and it was just it was just something that I

734
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 13: really wanted to go and get and wanted to do,

735
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 13: and it really happened.

736
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: So you're on a new team now, and you got

737
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 5: some got some really good players. You mentioned Baker, he

738
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 5: got Chris Godwin obviously, Mike Evans no more but a

739
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: Mecca booger, Kate Kate Adden re signed and got Bucky

740
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 5: Irvin running back with you.

741
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: Like, first of all, have you heard from any of

742
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: those guys?

743
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: And second of all, like as you signed with the

744
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 5: team and you're like, all right, like who do we got?

745
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 5: Like you know, are you sort of reacquainting yourself with

746
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 5: the roster a little bit? Yeah?

747
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have.

748
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 13: And also I had talks with Bucky. We talked about ball,

749
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 13: we talked about what we can do together. But at

750
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 13: the same time, you know, I want to come in

751
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 13: here and fuel him and him fueling me. Man, Bugget

752
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 13: is a good guy, and I understand that. You know,

753
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 13: we can both do this thing together, and we're gonna

754
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 13: go out there and do it.

755
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: Do the thing.

756
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 6: What are your expectations for the season. You had a

757
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 6: breakout season. Where do you go from there?

758
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 13: Just continue to stack, Continue to stack those days, continue

759
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 13: to stack what I've been doing, you know, try not

760
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 13: to be a guy that's going to fall off. But

761
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 13: you know, I'm trying to bring as high energy as

762
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 13: I can and there you probably won't see anything different

763
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 13: what I did last year. I'm trying to bring even

764
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 13: more energy. But I'm just trying to do everything that

765
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 13: I can to, you know, help this team out.

766
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles, your new head coach, certainly a favorite of

767
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: his players, someone who always has great relationships. Have you

768
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 5: what kind of interactions have you had with him? What

769
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 5: have you heard about him? What are you sort of

770
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 5: expecting from your new coach?

771
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: I met him this morning.

772
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 13: It was a great experience talking with him at breakfast

773
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 13: and it was cool.

774
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: I'm ready to play for him.

775
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 13: I'm ready to, you know, experience what's going on and

776
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 13: and definitely ready to play ball for a guy they

777
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 13: lost football too.

778

Speaker 2: Active Cash Credit Card, Tom Pilaicero and Steve White here

782
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: on the Insider. Certainly a lot of active teams in

783
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: the edge rush market. Steve, the question now is do

784
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: these guys who got paid live up to those pay checks?

785
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 14: Hey, Tom, they better because this year you saw a

786
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 14: lot more movement on the edge market than we saw

787
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 14: in the previous season.

788
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: Of course, let's kick things off with Trey Hendrickson.

789
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 14: He ends up with the Ravens after the whole Max

790
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 14: Crosby voy To trade fiasco. Now, this is a player

791
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 14: that the Ravens are counting on big time because they

792
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 14: lost so many other players and we're now good Hendrickson

793
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 14: can be. But he only played in seven games last

794
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 14: year because of that miscore injury. He's going to be

795
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 14: somebody who's motivated to come in. We have to see

796
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 14: what is left and how well this defense plays with

797
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 14: the coaching change there. But Trey Henderson clearly is an

798
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 14: engine starter that will need to deliver after everything's happened

799
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 14: with the Ravens thus far this offseason. Now, let's go

800
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 14: to his replacement in Cincinnati, Boye Mape, who comes over

801
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 14: from the Seahawks. Now, Mafe was mainly a rotational player

802
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 14: in Seattle because they were so deep, But you talk

803
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 14: about somebody who was an absolute disruptor with athleticism.

804
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: He's someone who's going to have to step up.

805
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 14: And to possibly get their other first round draft picks

806
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 14: off the edge, Miles Murphy and Jamar Stewart back into gear.

807
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 14: Now we'll go to Bradley Chubb, and I think this

808
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 14: is the one that's been the most underrated move so

809
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 14: far this off season because Chubb last year in Miami.

810
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: He's coming off an eight and a half sack season.

811
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 14: But he has a scheme fit for new Bills DC

812
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 14: Jim Leonard, who's going to be switching more to an

813
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 14: odd front, a thirty four front. Chubb good against the run,

814
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 14: very solid and creating pressure and then closing on the quarterback.

815
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 14: If he stays healthy, he could be the steady edge

816
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 14: rusher that the Bills have lacked for a long time.

817
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 14: So this is a really good acquisition by Buffalo See.

818
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 14: Thank you very much, fantastic stuff. As always, we look

819
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 14: forward to chatting with you again soon. Still more to

820
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 14: come here on the Insiders, we had some moves to

821
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 14: became official earlier. Today we got the Rams signing Trent McDuffie.

822
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 14: He signed his contract as part of the trade over

823
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 14: for the Kanca Chiefs. Also Tyler Linderbaum signing that massive

824
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 14: three year, eighty one million dollars deal with the Raiders.

825
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 14: Stick around, more to come.

826
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 5: The QB carousel was spinning started with this guy, Malik

827
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: will Is the richest QB deal of this offseason. To

828
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 5: his deal wasn't rich, but still land in a perfect spot.

829
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 5: He goes to the Atlanta Falcons. I think is one

830
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 5: of the more fun acquisitions. Geo Smith heads back home

831
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 5: full circle. He gets traded from the Raiders to the Jets.

832
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Gardner Mitchell.

833
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 5: Gardner, Minshew's hair makes a cameo.

834
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: Gotta love that, Kenny Pickett.

835
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 5: He's also with the Carolina Panthers see later, Andy Dalton.

836
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: At some point that.

837
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: Was one of the moves, and then we had a

838
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 5: big one today. Kyler Murray signs with the Minnesota Vikings.

839
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 5: He gets a minimum deal, but he gets a no

840
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 5: franchise tag clause. That is an important thing for one

841
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 5: of the more fascinating figures of twenty twenty six and beyond.

842
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 6: And it is official. Jackson Dart has a new target.

843
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 6: That's Isaiah likely signing on the dotted line, joining John

844
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 6: Harbaugh at the New York Giants.

845
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: Like the glasses too. CJ.

846
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 2: Gardner Johnson still rolling, agreeing to terms on a one

847
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: year deal with the Bills can be worth up to

848
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: six million dollars.

849
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: That's right.

850
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: One of the best villains in football headed to Buffalo

851
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: the Lions, agreeing to terms with former Bucks dB Christian

852
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: Izzi in earlier today it is a one year deal

853
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: for him and al Kudeine Muhammad, another longtime veteran who

854
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: I feel like we report on every march, as Ian

855
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: reported earlier today headed to the Bucks on a one

856
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: year deal with a maximum valley of six million dollars.

857
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the insiders, Tom Pilli, Sarawe and Rappaport,

858
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: Judy Batista, Judy I posed this to you, all the frenzy,

859
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: all the signings, who is one person you're still looking forward?

860
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: To seeing exactly where they land.

861
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: I guess I'm still waiting for Kirk Cousins. I want

862
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 6: to see what happens to him and when it happens

863
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 6: to him. But mostly I'm waiting for Aaron Rodgers.

864
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 13: Yeah.

865
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 5: I think both those two guys are interesting. I would

866
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 5: say for me, I'm most interested in what am I

867
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 5: going to do now that free agency is over? So

868
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 5: today I had a little free time. I deleted all

869
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 5: my emails. That was really important. I folded some laundry.

870
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 5: Those have been kind of waiting through free agency. We

871
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 5: basically had our lives on hold for like two weeks,

872
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 5: so I think it was important to handle life things.

873
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 5: I'm going to get a haircut on Saturday. Tom, What

874
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 5: do you got? Why'd you delete all your emails?

875
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 13: Ian?

876
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: Because I don't.

877
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 5: Read them, So you just at some point you glanced

878
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 5: through them and you kind of like delete delete because

879
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 5: everything that was timely. Everyone texts me, so emails, I

880
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 5: just delete real quick and then just move on.

881
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: If you don't read them, the point of deleting them,

882
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: just let them pile up like I.

883
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, you can't have those unread can't

884
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 5: have those unready emails.

885
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Just delete, read and then delete.

886
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 5: That's how you do it.

887
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, you're strange lives. Hey we're back tomorrow seven

888
