Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. It is me Joey p Joe pis Apia,
Speaker 1: and today we're gonna have some fun.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: There's some big names on the free agent NFL wire
Speaker 1: and the boys here today are gonna make some bold
Speaker 1: predictions of where they might land. No tampering is going on.
Speaker 1: I just want everybody to know, please keep all of
Speaker 1: your legalies to yourselves, don't hire lawyers, don't send anybody
Speaker 1: at us, because we're just having fun here and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna decide which one of the landing spots the guys
Speaker 1: choose is better for these athletes. And of course, speaking
Speaker 1: of big names, Pat fitz Morris is with us Andrew
Speaker 1: Erickson is with us today to break the names down
Speaker 1: where the landing spots might be. And gentlemen, it is
Speaker 1: great to see you as always, Pat fitz Morris, you
Speaker 1: and I did not go to the NFL Combine, So
Speaker 1: what did you do? What was your NFL Combine watch
Speaker 1: experience like? Was it on the couch? Was it at
Speaker 1: a local watering hole? What was the Pat fitz Morris
Speaker 1: experience of the combine?
Speaker 3: It was on the couch all day Saturday. My wife
Speaker 3: was for warm that I was going to be completely
Speaker 3: inert on Saturday, so it was me on the couch
Speaker 3: with my dog on the ottoman in front of me.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was a very I was pretty immobilized
Speaker 3: on Saturday. Joe just put it that way.
Speaker 1: Well, inert was a great I mean again, you come
Speaker 1: for the football, you stay for the vokeeb here on
Speaker 1: the program Andrew ericson. Obviously that was not your experience.
Speaker 1: What was it like bunking with Debro though for three
Speaker 1: straight days? That's the real question.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun. It was a good time.
Speaker 2: I will say, though, I hate Debro's ring tone on
Speaker 2: his phone. It's this NFL jingle and I don't know
Speaker 2: why he has it as his ring tone, but it
Speaker 2: is super annoying. And I told him multiple times, this
Speaker 2: is the worst ringtone you could posibly have. You could
Speaker 2: just have the default Apple alarm, That's what he should do,
Speaker 2: but instead it's this NFL jingle jingle like.
Speaker 1: The CBS or the NBC ones, like for Sunday Night
Speaker 1: Football or like Fox.
Speaker 2: I've tried to, I've tried to remove it from my brain.
Speaker 2: I can't for you. Maybe it's that it's definitely not
Speaker 2: the draft one where it's like or even the pick
Speaker 2: is in that that draft. That's the way you said. Believe. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But like I said, I tried to remove it from Well.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna call Derek Brown when you guys are
Speaker 1: over my house just from the other room, just to
Speaker 1: just to piss you off. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the names here on the list and have some fun here. Again,
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the channel here this year,
Speaker 1: our goal is to get the three hundred thousand subscribers,
Speaker 1: and of course we've got amazing NFL content going on
Speaker 1: for the draft for Dynasty, tons of Dynasty shows coming
Speaker 1: at you right now, and of course the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: mock draft shows are happening too. Will also be live
Speaker 1: here for the NFL Draft as well in April. So again,
Speaker 1: ring the belt to that goes ding. Subscribe to the
Speaker 1: channel like the video too, and of course drop your
Speaker 1: predictions below as we go through hours. Let's start at
Speaker 1: the top again. We got twenty guys, and actually when
Speaker 1: we started recording this we might have one or two
Speaker 1: bonus guys because more news continues to drop again, No tampering.
Speaker 1: It's not happening. Don't worry. Everything here we're doing is
Speaker 1: legal to Let's start with Davonte Adams. So the real
Speaker 1: question is, gentlemen, is Davante Adams sick of chasing his
Speaker 1: old friends at quarterback? Is it time maybe for Davante
Speaker 1: to grow up and realize that he could play with
Speaker 1: guys that maybe aren't his bestest friends in the world.
Speaker 1: Let's start with you, pepforts More as Davante Adams lands
Speaker 1: where when the free agent dust settles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to change this up by a different
Speaker 3: answer at first, Joe, But I am going to make
Speaker 3: it the Green Bay Packers Davante Adams going back. They're
Speaker 3: currently the betting favorites to acquire DeVante Adams plus one ninety.
Speaker 3: Last I checked on DraftKings, and it makes some sense.
Speaker 3: The Packers have gone from seemingly flush at wide receiver
Speaker 3: to having a big need there with Christian Watson tearing
Speaker 3: his acl last year, didn't really get a step up
Speaker 3: from Jayden Reid, didn't get a step up from Dantavian Wicks,
Speaker 3: so outside receiver help makes sense for the Packers. He's
Speaker 3: obviously familiar with Green Bay left on good terms and
Speaker 3: that would free up the Packers in the draft to
Speaker 3: address some other needs. Cornerback, ed rusher, maybe offensive line.
Speaker 3: Davante to Green Bay, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Davanta de Green Bay. I like it is kind
Speaker 1: of ironic. Right last year, we're like, oh, there's so
Speaker 1: many wide receivers, there won't be enough targets for everybody.
Speaker 1: We could barely get a wide receiver to get a target.
Speaker 1: It felt like by the end of the year, DeVante Adams,
Speaker 1: Andrew Erickson, where's the landing spot where he goes?
Speaker 2: Well, he's not going to be chasing his quarterbacks anymore.
Speaker 2: He's been burned by this twice. I'm gonna go play
Speaker 2: with Derek Cullhar It's gonna be great, and gonna go
Speaker 2: to the Jets, gonna play the Aaron Rodgers. And now
Speaker 2: so he's like, no, what, I want to live on
Speaker 2: the West Coast. That's where I'm from. That's where i
Speaker 2: want to go. The reports have said that that is
Speaker 2: something he's taking into consideration. I want to be on
Speaker 2: the West Coast. So I'm projecting him to go to
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers. They now having to
Speaker 2: eat at wide receiver given they just traded away Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk is injured and is also on the trade block,
Speaker 2: and there's a coaching familiarity with it. Lafloor Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 2: somewhat similar schemes offensively, so I don't think it's a
Speaker 2: system where he could be dropped in and not have
Speaker 2: any idea what he's doing. There's also some familiarity with
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator or the Raiders OC. Mick Lombardy is
Speaker 2: the current quarterbacks coach for the San Francisco forty nine ers,
Speaker 2: So if he wants to get a ring, what better
Speaker 2: team to go to than the San Francisco forty nine Ers,
Speaker 2: who have been knocking on the door of the NFC
Speaker 2: Championship game basically most of the past couple of seasons.
Speaker 2: So that's my pick is the forty nine ers.
Speaker 3: They were knocking pretty faintly last year.
Speaker 2: Eric Well, they were all injured last year, so but
Speaker 2: we knew that ahead of time.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I think it's gonna be very difficult
Speaker 1: to trade away Brandon a Yuka, I just off the injury.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's a tall order. So I think
Speaker 1: they just have no choice but to wait for him
Speaker 1: to get healthy there. And I'm a sentimental guy, so
Speaker 1: I kind of like Pat fitz Morris your choice of
Speaker 1: the reunited Green Bay. So one point goes to Gryffindor.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Ericson. You seem like a hufflepuff to me.
Speaker 1: I know you're not a Harry Potter guy, So you know,
Speaker 1: we'll just that's not true. Are you Harry Potter?
Speaker 2: Carry Potter? I mean, what defines a Harry Potter person? Like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've seen the movie, I've read the books. Like half
Speaker 2: the people that claimed their Harry Potter people haven't.
Speaker 1: Even read all the books more than one So a
Speaker 1: question for you, what is here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I mean, are you a.
Speaker 2: Gryffindor, I'm gryffin door obviously.
Speaker 1: All right. So FITZI maybe you're a little slitherin there
Speaker 1: on the back end. Maybe I'm just.
Speaker 3: Saying, yeah, I have an evil streak.
Speaker 2: Jo, Yeah, you gotta be.
Speaker 1: I know that's my house too, all right, So one
Speaker 1: point to Pat fitz Morris. Here, let's move on to
Speaker 1: the next landing spot. Here in the predictions, we're have
Speaker 1: fun today. Today's a fun show. If you don't like fun. Well,
Speaker 1: then I don't know what to tell you. Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: now on the free agent block, also coming off of
Speaker 1: an injury situation. Here ericson, let's start with you. Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: What do you have for a landing spot for him
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I think it is going to go back to the Buccaneers.
Speaker 2: I mean he has been willing to adjust his contract
Speaker 2: to give them more time to work on a long
Speaker 2: term deal. We saw something with that, so something in
Speaker 2: his contract doesn't avoid until March twelfth, I think, or
Speaker 2: March fourteenth, so basically giving the Buccaneers as much time
Speaker 2: as possible to negotiate a long term deal. Obviously they
Speaker 2: didn't franchise tag him, but he was absolutely cooking in
Speaker 2: this offense last year. And I know Cohen's on there anymore,
Speaker 2: but I think that he's still really ex Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 2: the GM, the head coach Todd Bowles, has talked about
Speaker 2: that they love Chris Godwin and he's also coming off
Speaker 2: an injury. So are other team's going to be so
Speaker 2: aggressive trying to get Chris Godwin when they don't have
Speaker 2: access like the Buccaneers do to his injury. He's a
Speaker 2: bit of an older receiver. He's been injured before, so
Speaker 2: I think there might be some hesitance with some other
Speaker 2: of these teams where Tampa Bay knows exactly what they're
Speaker 2: working with. So last year we thought Mike Evans might leave,
Speaker 2: what he did came back to Tampa Bay. I think
Speaker 2: it can be exact same thing with Chris Godwin returning well.
Speaker 1: Breaking news here just as we're doing the show, DK
Speaker 1: Metcalf has officially requested the trade from Seattle, by the way,
Speaker 1: so it looks like, who knows, maybe Seattle could be
Speaker 1: looking for some wide receivers. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: changes anybody's Chris Godwin take more on that in a second. Here,
Speaker 1: patfits more is Chris Godwin's. It's tough because market value
Speaker 1: coming off an injury is not ideal. So does Godwin
Speaker 1: find a new home or does he have to go
Speaker 1: back to Tampa.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say he finds a new home. Joe, Let's
Speaker 3: put him in New England. The Patriots have been rumored
Speaker 3: as a potential suitor for Godwin, and the Pats have
Speaker 3: more money to spend under the cap than anyone else.
Speaker 3: They probably will not have to break the bank because
Speaker 3: Godwin is coming off the injury, so I think he
Speaker 3: ends up in New England. Patriots really do need a
Speaker 3: massive overhaul of their wide receiver corps, and they can't
Speaker 3: do it through the draft alone. The rookie receiver class
Speaker 3: just isn't that good and there are not many good
Speaker 3: slot receivers in this class. With the Patriots and their
Speaker 3: big bank roll, Joe, this is one of the ways
Speaker 3: they're going to spend it. Chris Godwin in the pass.
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. As a Patriots fan, I definitely
Speaker 1: don't hate it. Again, I just want younger guys. I
Speaker 1: want explosive guys. I want guys that are not looking
Speaker 1: towards the end of their career, and I feel like
Speaker 1: Godwin might be closer to that. I'm not saying he's done,
Speaker 1: but man, you know, I feel like the Patriots need
Speaker 1: to continue to build with the youth. I will take umbrage.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an elite wide receiver class, but
Speaker 1: there's definitely some guys here. There's definitely some dudes that
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about, maybe in the second round
Speaker 1: getting a value there. So I'm gonna go with Andrew Ericson.
Speaker 1: I just think the market might not be as big
Speaker 1: for him as people realize. My only concern is they
Speaker 1: like Jalen McMillan and Fitzy. I know you and I
Speaker 1: talked about that too, but look, you have to consider
Speaker 1: the Mike Evans age two and where he's at his career.
Speaker 1: I know he had a great season again last year,
Speaker 1: but how many times getting continued to do it? Eventually
Speaker 1: luck's got to run out here, So point for Andrew
Speaker 1: Erickson here on this one, next one here, Sam Darnald
Speaker 1: scores tied one one. Sam Darnald, big quarterback season for
Speaker 1: him didn't end, unfortunately the way he wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Kind of a sour note, So Fitzy Sam Darnald twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five landing spot, sell me.
Speaker 3: This is a tough one. It's hard to find a
Speaker 3: good fit for Donald. Let's put him on the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3: And my only reasoning for this is that we keep
Speaker 3: hearing the Titans are interested in trading the number one
Speaker 3: pick in the draft. That seems strange for a team
Speaker 3: that doesn't have a viable starting quarterback on the roster,
Speaker 3: and no, Will Levis is not a viable starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: If you have avoid a QB and you're picking first,
Speaker 3: you take a quarterback on it's such a bad class
Speaker 3: that someone like Kenny Pickett it's the number one quarterback,
Speaker 3: which is what we saw three years ago. Cam Warden,
Speaker 3: shod Or Sanders are much better prospects than Kenny Pickett was.
Speaker 3: But if the Titans aren't sold on those guys, they
Speaker 3: can trade the pick, sign Donald, do a one or
Speaker 3: two year deal and kick the quarterback can down the
Speaker 3: road for another year. Signing Donald would also kind of
Speaker 3: signal that the Titans are open for business with the
Speaker 3: number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: Interesting way to go. The Titans do need a lot
Speaker 1: of help, so getting more picks would be a good
Speaker 1: way to kind of replenish that roster. Andrew Erickson, what
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Sam Donald.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with the Raiders. He's going to
Speaker 2: reunite again USC Trojan connection, Pete Carroll. That's where Sam
Speaker 2: Donald went to school was USC. So you have that
Speaker 2: kind of bloodline connection going on for those it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You're USC for life, maybe for.
Speaker 1: Life for life until yeah tell you how to tell
Speaker 1: you go to the transfer. There's no college for life anymore.
Speaker 1: That doesn't exist. The transfer portal has killed that, but
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 2: The other thing is John spy Tech is the new
Speaker 2: Raiders general manager, and so spy Tech also spent time
Speaker 2: obviously with Tampa Bay with Todd Bowles, and Todd Bowles
Speaker 2: was with the Jets when they drafted Sam Donald in
Speaker 2: the first round. So if there's anyone that can give
Speaker 2: him a good read on the type of character, the
Speaker 2: type of person Sam Donald is, it could be Todd Bowles.
Speaker 2: So for those reasons, some connections. I like Donald landing
Speaker 2: with the Las Vegas Raiders, who obviously have a major
Speaker 2: need at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, they certainly did a major need at quarterback.
Speaker 1: I think it would be a smart signing for them.
Speaker 1: I still know about Donald and Pete Carroll together. Plus
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they want a little bit
Speaker 1: of edge and flair. I don't think Sam Donald had
Speaker 1: either of those things enough to play in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with FITZI here on this one.
Speaker 1: Here give me the Titans in this big rebuild one.
Speaker 1: I like this. I think that's a very clever way
Speaker 1: to put it.
Speaker 3: I knew paypaling you before the show was going to
Speaker 3: pay off. Joe really glad ever did that?
Speaker 1: It never hurts. All right, let's get to the next
Speaker 1: guy on our major free agent list here in the NFL,
Speaker 1: another quarterback, Russell Wilson. All right, so Ericson, you get
Speaker 1: first crack at Russell Wilson. Where does Russell Wilson take
Speaker 1: his skills or whatever's left of them in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: He's gonna go to the New York Giants. Infamously last
Speaker 2: year he actually took his private jet to New York
Speaker 2: to potentially sat with the Giants last offseason. That didn't
Speaker 2: work out. But they need a veteran quarterback. They need
Speaker 2: a bridge quarterback to pair with whatever rookie they end
Speaker 2: up drafting. And I think that when you're looking at
Speaker 2: the potential bridge quarterbacks, it's Wilson, it's Aaron Rodgers. And
Speaker 2: which guy has way less drama. It's Russell Wilson. So
Speaker 2: I think that they'll go the less dramatic route.
Speaker 1: I think the key is less drama. I think Russe
Speaker 1: is a little bit of drama sometimes around him. What's
Speaker 1: the catchphrase though in New York time to take a
Speaker 1: bite out of the apple, Like what does he do?
Speaker 1: Like He's got to have something like that, right.
Speaker 2: He just does Apple Comerci.
Speaker 1: All right, Fitzy, Russell Wilson, you know he did, you
Speaker 1: know at times play well for the Pittsburgh Steelers, But
Speaker 1: we all know the warts of Wilson at this stage
Speaker 1: in his career. Where does Zelanda twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3: Well, Joe, you just rejected the idea of Sam Darnold
Speaker 3: going to Las Vegas. I know it seems far fetched,
Speaker 3: but I think we could get a Russell Wilson Pete
Speaker 3: Carroll reunion in Las Vegas. They weren't necessarily on the
Speaker 3: best terms during the end of their time together in Seattle.
Speaker 3: Bet that marriage did work pretty well for a while.
Speaker 3: Maybe Russ and Pete can set aside any differences for
Speaker 3: one last run together. The Raiders may or may not
Speaker 3: be able to draft Shadu or Sanders at number six.
Speaker 3: Maybe they don't want to draft Cheddoor at number six.
Speaker 3: But even if they do draft Shaeddour, the Raiders could
Speaker 3: use a veteran Bridge quarterback who isn't going to cost
Speaker 3: them a fortune. Russell Wilson seems like he's a pretty
Speaker 3: logical choice as sort of a stopgap for them.
Speaker 1: I gotta say. You know, people are gonna say, oh,
Speaker 1: Joe's just scoring him back and forth or whatever, but
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm legitimately not. I feel like that's a
Speaker 1: tough sell. Maybe they said, oh, you know why we
Speaker 1: should get back together, because look, we were to get
Speaker 1: and we were all happy. Things were good, we were
Speaker 1: going to super Bowls. But this is the NFL. This
Speaker 1: is you know, Although I like the homecoming story for
Speaker 1: the Hallmark movie of DeVante Adams, I just don't think
Speaker 1: the Hallmark story here Lands. But the Giants are kind
Speaker 1: of a tough sell too. I don't know, I you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna say, No points, I don't like
Speaker 1: either of these Landings.
Speaker 2: But so what so what team is he gonna go to? That?
Speaker 1: What team is he gonna go?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Titans?
Speaker 1: I could see the Titans as they groom a quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. I actually don't think that's
Speaker 1: a bad idea. Titans would be a decent one there.
Speaker 1: And look, I wouldn't necessarily rule out him going back
Speaker 1: to the Steelers, to be honest with you, because I'm
Speaker 1: not going I don't know, man' I don't think he
Speaker 1: should fields well, I don't. I'm not so they're going
Speaker 1: with fields. To tell you the truth, I don't.
Speaker 2: If you're going to hate our answers.
Speaker 1: If they were going with fields, then last year was
Speaker 1: completely stupid and for nothing, because if you're going with fields,
Speaker 1: you take that entire year to rebuild everything around him
Speaker 1: to let him really command the offense, so you can
Speaker 1: go this year and compete, not to you know, have
Speaker 1: him start six games and then pull him and let
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson play. If that's true, then bad job by
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Horrendous job there all right, seeking to
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Howbout Nauj Harris. Let's talk about him for
Speaker 1: a second here, FITZI, why don't you go first here,
Speaker 1: Naj Harris? Give me the landing spot for him, because
Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Raiders are going to roll into
Speaker 3: the season with Sincere McCormick. It's their lead back. Let's
Speaker 3: put him in the Raiders. Can't you just picture Nase
Speaker 3: wearing a Raiders uniform? I think I can so, I can.
Speaker 3: I could Nagi the Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Naja Las Vegas ericson you have a better landing spot
Speaker 1: than Vegas. Vegas isn't bad.
Speaker 2: Now Vegas is not bad. That defin wouldn't my second pick.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to go to another AFC West team,
Speaker 2: Gonna go to the Los Angeles Chargers. Looking back at
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of Michigan, he heavily recruited
Speaker 2: Naja Harris when Naja Harris was coming out. Obviously lost
Speaker 2: to him to going to Alabama. But I was reading
Speaker 2: some of the clippings with Harbaugh and how we talk
Speaker 2: about Najie Harris. He was obsessed with this guy. He
Speaker 2: really wanted him to come to Michigan. So that ended
Speaker 2: up being the case. But now he gets a second
Speaker 2: chance to be able to coach Nahi Harris. And we
Speaker 2: know what the charge want to do and a Greg
Speaker 2: Roman offense. They want to run the football, and Naji's
Speaker 2: hard nosed running style I think fits what they're trying
Speaker 2: to look for. They can compare him with another running
Speaker 2: back and yeah, so we'll see if Harbus still feels
Speaker 2: the same way about Jakdubbins is also free agent.
Speaker 1: It's tough because it really is a good running back class.
Speaker 1: I can see the Raiders even taking genty and then
Speaker 1: figuring out some sort of veteran quarterback situation That would
Speaker 1: not shock me at all, to tell you the truth.
Speaker 1: But I am with you ericson on this one. I
Speaker 1: do think the veteran coach wants the veteran running back
Speaker 1: in there. They went to the playoffs last year, They
Speaker 1: got their buck kicked in the playoffs last year. They
Speaker 1: want somebody reliable and Nause's that and a much better
Speaker 1: offensive line situation I think for him too, So that
Speaker 1: would be a big step up. So point to Andrew
Speaker 1: Erickson on that one. Before we get to the next
Speaker 1: guy on our list, a big wide receiver. Remember this

Speaker 1: Next up on our list is Keenan Allen, who had
Speaker 1: a good year last year. People were not enambered of
Speaker 1: the landing spot turned out to be pretty decent, arguably
Speaker 1: the best of the three wide receivers there so Andrew
Speaker 1: ericson Keenan Allen is where in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Well I had him going to the Raiders because their
Speaker 2: new wide receiver coach is Chris Betty and he was
Speaker 2: the receiver coach for the Bears last year when keen
Speaker 2: Nowan got traded to the Bears. He was also with
Speaker 2: the Chargers the three years before that, So I like
Speaker 2: that connection, but I don't like it as much now.
Speaker 2: And you're not going to pick mine because Tyer Lockett
Speaker 2: was released and he's going to be a Las Vegas Raider.
Speaker 2: So at this time I'm put on the spot. I
Speaker 2: don't have a good answer, but I'll roll up the
Speaker 2: Raiders because that was my original one. But I'm not
Speaker 2: I will not be surprised if I'm wrong, And if
Speaker 2: you don't pick.
Speaker 1: I don't know many. I mean I think I think
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's got more left in the tank than Tyler
Speaker 1: Lockett personally. I mean I would rather Keenan Allen. So
Speaker 1: don't discount yourself yet, Ericson, Let's see how good or
Speaker 1: bad Fitzi's choices. Go ahead, Pat Keenan Allen.
Speaker 3: Is where Keenan Allen replaces Cooper Cup as the veteran
Speaker 3: slot receiver in Sean mcvay's offense with the Rams. McVeigh
Speaker 3: and Stafford get a savvy veteran will be able to
Speaker 3: pick up the offense quickly. And Keenan Allen gets to
Speaker 3: go back to California after playing his college ball at
Speaker 3: Cal and spending eleven years with the Chargers. So Keenan
Speaker 3: Allen is back in sunny southern California.
Speaker 1: Does he still have a house in LA that's the
Speaker 1: question question. If he does, I does, I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: bet he does. You know, I bet he knew that
Speaker 1: Chicago situation is gonna be one year. We're gonna wait,
Speaker 1: keep the family at home because you know, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: same building going back home. Sorry, Andrew Fitz he got
Speaker 1: this one here. Keenan Allen to the Rams makes a
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense there, and he does not have
Speaker 1: to be the alpha dog. He just has to hang
Speaker 1: out and catch some balls whenever pookaa coup is either
Speaker 1: hurt or pookin a coua you know, is not the
Speaker 1: the intended target on the play. So I like Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen going there justin fields is next and he already
Speaker 1: warned me I'm not gonna like this, and uh, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Let's see what you guys have because clearly you've Alveray
Speaker 1: spoiled it. You both think he's gonna end up on
Speaker 1: the Steelers. So let's hear the reasons why and see
Speaker 1: if you can convince me. And if you do a
Speaker 1: good job, I'll give each of you a point.
Speaker 3: The Steelers are not exactly well positioned to get their
Speaker 3: choice of quarterbacks in the draft. They're gonna keep one
Speaker 3: of Wilson or Fields. And yeah, I know, ultimately they
Speaker 3: did sit Fields in favor of Wilson, but Fields was
Speaker 3: actually decent for the Steelers last year. And count me
Speaker 3: among the dwindling number of people who still think Justin
Speaker 3: Fields can be a quality NFL starter.
Speaker 1: Okay, dwindling away. Andrew Erickson is your faith dwindling in
Speaker 1: Fields and where does he land?
Speaker 2: He's also going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. They've been
Speaker 2: telling us this for months, and the Steelers tend to
Speaker 2: not hold things really close to the vest. They are
Speaker 2: like an open book. A couple years ago, the yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna draft Nagie Harris and that's exactly what they did. No,
Speaker 2: we're gonna draft Kenny Pickett, and that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 2: So it's been out for the last couple of months
Speaker 2: that they're going to the Fields over Wilson. So that's
Speaker 2: what I think is also going to happen. And to
Speaker 2: play a little three D forty chess here, Joe. Maybe
Speaker 2: they decided to not play Fields because well, if Fields
Speaker 2: balls out in our offense, then we have to pay
Speaker 2: more money. He's gonna generate a larger deal on the
Speaker 2: open market. So now we can get him back for cheap,
Speaker 2: competing with the New York Jets of all teams for
Speaker 2: his services, and then we're gonna look like even bigger
Speaker 2: geniuses for signing Justin Fields to a long term deal
Speaker 2: at value. So there you go.
Speaker 1: I love you, Andrew, but that is the dumbest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever heard you say. That is ridiculous. Hey, let's
Speaker 1: not be good in the NFL. All right, let's just
Speaker 1: sneak in the playoffs and let's not let this guy
Speaker 1: develop for an entire season. So next year, not only
Speaker 1: can we sign a good quarterback coming off a good
Speaker 1: year with more revenue, because we're going oh to the
Speaker 1: playoffs and winning games in the playoffs. No, if I'm
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, I don't want to be there. You've already
Speaker 1: told me that you're looking around looking give me side eye,
Speaker 1: looking for other options there. I think he takes his
Speaker 1: talents to the New York Jets. I think they're going
Speaker 1: to run the snot out of the.
Speaker 2: Football because that's so much better.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, if you ask me at this stage,
Speaker 1: is playing for Aaron Glenn not an intriguing thing if
Speaker 1: I'm a young NFL player, I think it is. I
Speaker 1: think Aaron Glenn is one of these guys as a
Speaker 1: great reputation around the league and people want to play for.
Speaker 1: And I think people are looking at Mike Tom Whin
Speaker 1: and all the stagnation in Pittsburgh over the last decade
Speaker 1: and maybe have a different opinion. Maybe some of us
Speaker 1: old heads here I have an inflate opinion of the
Speaker 1: Steelers because I think the young kids don't have that
Speaker 1: same opinion. I think they're looking at you. You look
Speaker 1: at Breese Hall, you look at Garrett Wilson, you look
Speaker 1: at what could be with that defense or the draft
Speaker 1: picks they have. I gotta tell you, I think the
Speaker 1: Jets so again, no points there. I like mine better.
Speaker 1: Next up, Aaron Jones. Now this one, I think everybody's
Speaker 1: going to get a point on because this is my
Speaker 1: landing spot. I believe what you guys are going to
Speaker 1: say because it just makes sense. Andrew Rickson, Where does
Speaker 1: and and Andrew Jones? I've been doing too many baseball shows.
Speaker 1: Where does Aaron Jones go? Not Hall of Fame potential
Speaker 1: centerfielder for the Atlanta Braves, but running back the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: Where's Aaron Jones go? In twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2: He's going to go back to the Vikings. I think
Speaker 2: that he's going to resign there. I do think that
Speaker 2: he's going to be joined by somebody else, either another
Speaker 2: veteran or a rookie running back, because I think that
Speaker 2: they realize they don't want to put him in a
Speaker 2: three hundred touch pace like they did last year. He
Speaker 2: got banged up at the end, but he's still effective.
Speaker 2: He's efficient, but I think that he's going to be
Speaker 2: more of a part time back. But I think he
Speaker 2: returns to the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Right, Vikings, FITZI, I'm with Ericson.
Speaker 3: He played well for the Vikings last year. Aaron Jones
Speaker 3: fits Kevin O'Connell's system. It's probably not going to be
Speaker 3: all that expensive to bring him back. I just think
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones stays put in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Fitzi ericson. I agree, it just makes too much sense.
Speaker 1: It's a good marriage of convenience for everybody. Next up, JK. Dobbins.
Speaker 1: This one's a little trickier. So Dobbins got off to
Speaker 1: a good start with the Chargers and then things kind
Speaker 1: of unraveled a little bit. So, FITZI, where's JK dobbins
Speaker 1: land this offseason?
Speaker 3: I think a lot of these free agent veteran running
Speaker 3: backs are tricky, Joe, because I think the market is
Speaker 3: going to be really soft for these guys this year,
Speaker 3: with the caliber of the running back class in the
Speaker 3: draft this year, Like, these guys are gonna be hitting
Speaker 3: the free agent market hat in hand, looking to take
Speaker 3: whatever deal comes their way. All right, So JK. Dobbins,
Speaker 3: Maybe the Cowboys take Ashton genty twelfth overall, but there's
Speaker 3: no guarantee gent he's going to be around for them.
Speaker 3: The Bears could grab genty at number ten, two spots
Speaker 3: ahead of Dallas. So the Cowboys signed JK. Dobbins to
Speaker 3: be part of their new look running back group. Dobbins
Speaker 3: could be the starter, or he could be the primary
Speaker 3: backup to one of the top rookies. I do think
Speaker 3: the Cowboys draft a rookie at some point before Day three.
Speaker 3: It may or may not be Ashton Genty. I think
Speaker 3: they're going to get Dobbins to solidify themselves at the
Speaker 3: running back spot.
Speaker 1: What a horrible consolation prize that is going from gend
Speaker 1: to Dobbins. Ugh, I don't know if I want to
Speaker 1: live in that timeline. Ericson take me out of it.
Speaker 2: Well, he's going to join his former Ohio State quarterback
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, Justin Field. So I think Jaco Dobbins is
Speaker 2: going to go to the Steelers. They need to replace
Speaker 2: Nagie Harris and Jacob ob should not be a bell
Speaker 2: cow like he has shown that. I can't play seventeen games.
Speaker 2: Even last year as good as he was, he endn't
Speaker 2: getting hurt towards the end of the season. But you
Speaker 2: pair him with another running back that I at least
Speaker 2: think is going to return to the Steelers. I think
Speaker 2: that he can be part of a great backfield and
Speaker 2: you and I with Justin Field. So that's it for me.
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Cowboys need to make a splash.
Speaker 1: If it's not Genty, then I think it's somebody else
Speaker 1: in the second round, and it is a good running
Speaker 1: back class, so I'm gonna think the Cowboys go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: But it does sound very Pittsburgh Steeler to go ahead
Speaker 1: and end up with JK. Dobbins and somebody else. Maybe
Speaker 1: bring back a Jalen Warren or somebody else. We'll see
Speaker 1: last one in the top ten, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to go eleven through twenty Nick Chubb, all right, So
Speaker 1: again tough to evaluate last year ericson, you know, coming
Speaker 1: back from massive knee injury and the team was terrible.
Speaker 1: So a really tough evaluation here for Nick Chubb. So
Speaker 1: where does he end up in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be a New England Patriot,
Speaker 2: and I absolutely hate it from a fantasy perspective, But
Speaker 2: this is me kind of connecting the dots. So Mary
Speaker 2: Kay Cabot has to. So she's a Browns reporter. She's
Speaker 2: talked about how the Browns are probably gonna be moving
Speaker 2: away from Nick Chubb. You look at Mike Rabele, new
Speaker 2: head coach of the Patriots. Where did he spend last year?
Speaker 2: He was a consultant with the Cleveland Browns. So I'm
Speaker 2: sure he saw the impact in the locker room that
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb could bring when he came back from that injury.
Speaker 2: And you just talk about how teammates rally around Nick
Speaker 2: Chubb even if he wasn't playing at one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: even though he was coming back from that injury. He
Speaker 2: definitely saw that. And that was the biggest thing with
Speaker 2: the Patriots last year, just immaturity in the locker room,
Speaker 2: lack of people being accounted for accountability, and I think
Speaker 2: bringing in a veteran like Nick Chubb with guys like
Speaker 2: Romandre Steven san Antonio Gibson who continuously put the ball
Speaker 2: on the ground, Hey, get a veteran in here that
Speaker 2: knows how to do it, that knows how to be
Speaker 2: a running back from a professional level. And the last
Speaker 2: point I'll make Elliot Woolf the de facto GM of
Speaker 2: the Patriots. He was the assistant GM for the Browns,
Speaker 2: so they drafted Nick Chubb back in twenty eighteen, and
Speaker 2: it would make me so happy if the Patriots at
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb from a locker room presence. Kind of reminds
Speaker 2: me of the Austin Eckler move last year where the
Speaker 2: Commanders brought him in because they have a chance to
Speaker 2: draft Nick Chubb, but they said they drafted Sony Michelle.
Speaker 2: So draft the draft the right George running back.
Speaker 1: The room a whole day. I mean, I always joke
Speaker 1: around Eerckson. It's even in the slack chat between the
Speaker 1: three of us two where I call him that, you know,
Speaker 1: the Charlie Day meme when he's looking at all of
Speaker 1: the map where he is like flagged around there. But
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of good connection points here. Uh, FITZI,
Speaker 1: where's it going?
Speaker 3: Elliott Wolfe was a nice poll son of former Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: he dug deep there. I appreciate that. So, man, this
Speaker 3: flies in the face of the Mary Kay Cabot reporting.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I would like to see Nick Chubb resign with the Browns.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of Cleveland fans want to see
Speaker 3: Nick Chobb resign with the Browns. Nick Chubb is been
Speaker 3: one of the few good things about Cleveland Brown's football
Speaker 3: in recent years. It would be great to see Chubb
Speaker 3: remain a Brown for life. So I am going to
Speaker 3: have him re signing with Cleveland.
Speaker 1: All right, Andrew Erickson, you sold me the whole leadership thing.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a stupid thing the Patriots did to
Speaker 1: give up the you know the bag there to ermondre
Speaker 1: Stevenson last year and then go bring in Nick Chubb
Speaker 1: next year. But it feels about right, feels like something
Speaker 1: the Patriots would be doing. So, uh, there you go,
Speaker 1: casual spending Patriots. I'm gonna give this.
Speaker 2: I'll get it. I'll get a Nick Chubb Patriots jersey.
Speaker 1: I mean, you wouldn't want that. I'm just saying, when
Speaker 1: you're when you're at the team store, pick me up
Speaker 1: one due. I am president of the Chubb club here.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that. So after ten, right, now, here's where
Speaker 1: we stand. Fitzi has four, Ericsson has four, No One
Speaker 1: is Right has two. So, inf case you're keeping score
Speaker 1: at home, now, don't lose to no One is Right
Speaker 1: because that's just embarrassing you guys. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have that happen. So let's get to the next group.
Speaker 1: Here will be a little bit more lightning roundy for
Speaker 1: these guys, because again, this is not the top tier
Speaker 1: of the free agencies. That next tier. Let's start with
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. He looks done and dusted to me. I
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna want him. Pat fitz Morris, the
Speaker 1: floor is yours.
Speaker 3: I know it didn't work out in Buffalo, Joe, but
Speaker 3: I don't think Cooper is washed up at age thirty.
Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Steelers need more manpower at wide receiver. Not
Speaker 3: only could Cooper help the Steelers with their pass catching shortage,
Speaker 3: he could also be a mentor to the talented but
Speaker 3: immature George Pickens, who certainly could use a mentor. And
Speaker 3: by all accounts, Cooper has been a really good teammate
Speaker 3: wherever he's gone throughout his career. He didn't complain about
Speaker 3: how sparingly he was used in Buffalo last year. He
Speaker 3: told the media he was just grateful to be on
Speaker 3: a winning team. Cooper and Pickens both have the X
Speaker 3: receiver Z receiver versatility. I think the Steelers would be
Speaker 3: a nice fit for Mari.
Speaker 1: Cooper, all right, So the Steelers ericson where you're going
Speaker 1: for Cooper.
Speaker 2: Could go to the Arizona Cardinals. That'll reunite him with
Speaker 2: the current OC Drew Petsing. Cooper and Petsing were together
Speaker 2: in Cleveland for a few years, so in similar reasons
Speaker 2: about him being a mentor towards George Pickens. I think
Speaker 2: you do something similar with Marvin Harrison junior, right, not
Speaker 2: the rookie year. We all wanted out a veteran like
Speaker 2: Amri Cooper. It's also a dome and it gets him
Speaker 2: out of these Buffalo Cleveland weather. I think Mark Cooper's
Speaker 2: done playing outside. It's like, dude, put me in a dome.
Speaker 2: That's where I want to be. An Arizona can give
Speaker 2: him that.
Speaker 1: I'll take a step further. I do agree about the
Speaker 1: get him out of the cold weather environments, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to put him in Los Angeles with the Chargers.
Speaker 1: I think that's where he ends up eventually and just
Speaker 1: kind of the over the top guy at lad McConkie
Speaker 1: catch everything and let Amari Cooper do his business in
Speaker 1: the red zone. And I think that would be the
Speaker 1: good landing spot. So no one gets the square here
Speaker 1: on Hollywood Squares. Next up Jalen Warren so Andrew Erickson.
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren. Does he go home to Pittsburgh or is
Speaker 1: it potentially a division rival? Where does he land in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I think he's going back to the Pittsburgh Steelers because
Speaker 2: he's a he's a restricted free agent so the Steers
Speaker 2: can put a tender on him, and basically for another
Speaker 2: team to pry him away, it would cost them a
Speaker 2: draft pick to then get Jalen Warre and then they
Speaker 2: have to sign him. So given the class of running backs,
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's going to give up actual draft
Speaker 2: capital to have the ability to sign Jalen Warren to
Speaker 2: a contract. So I think he's gonna go back to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: The Steers are really high on Jalen Warren. He's looked
Speaker 2: explosed fan a last year who was banged up, but
Speaker 2: there's no knowledge. I think Jalen Warren is going to
Speaker 2: be RB one in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's the injuries that's the problem there,
Speaker 1: but certainly that's a moment's fitsy Gunny landing spots for Warren.
Speaker 3: If there is a team that's going to be willing
Speaker 3: to go out and get Jalen Warren, maybe it's a
Speaker 3: team in the division that wants to steal him away
Speaker 3: from the Steelers. I'll say he goes to the Bengals
Speaker 3: to be there passing down back Chase Brown is going
Speaker 3: to handle the early downs. Chase Brown and Jalen Warren
Speaker 3: that's a pretty nice one to punch, and it hurts
Speaker 3: a divisional rival. So Jalen Warren is Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: This is tough because I actually like that. I like
Speaker 1: that call a lot. But I feel like the Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Steelers need Warren Moore and we'll figure out a way
Speaker 1: to bring him back. So point to Andrew Erickson on
Speaker 1: this one. Next up, Jamis Winston. Let's talk about Winston
Speaker 1: here for a moment. Winston obviously the highs and lows,
Speaker 1: the roller coaster that is Jameis Winston very entertaining in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, in twenty twenty five, Maybe he's a backup,
Speaker 1: maybe he's a starter or fitzy.
Speaker 3: What's the pt that he's going to be a backup
Speaker 3: for the Arizona Cardinals, who have some money to spend
Speaker 3: and as of now they have the unproven Clayton Tune
Speaker 3: as the backup to Kyler. Murray Winston an affordable insurance
Speaker 3: policy for the Cardinals. Kyler played all seventeen games last season,
Speaker 3: but it was the first time he stayed healthy for
Speaker 3: an entire season since twenty twenty. It would help for
Speaker 3: a credible backup to be around in case Kyler goes down.
Speaker 3: So Jameis Winston to the Desert.
Speaker 1: Arizona backup ericson where do you want to put Winston
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Five Indianapolis Colts competition for Anthony Richardson. That's all Chris
Speaker 2: Ballard has been talking about during his offseason pressers. They
Speaker 2: need to get competition for Richardson, and I think Winston
Speaker 2: can push him and also puts them in a situation
Speaker 2: where if Richardson gets hurt again, Ballard and stych And
Speaker 2: can't afford to keep losing games. And Jameis Winston again,
Speaker 2: he loses games, and he wins games, but he's sure
Speaker 2: it's fun to watch, and I would like to see
Speaker 2: him in a dome with some of those receivers and weapons.
Speaker 2: So Jamis Winston for me to the Colts, I.
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, let's have another wildly interception prone quarterback
Speaker 3: as the backup to Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 1: Indy, Hey, man, if it ain't broke, I don't know
Speaker 1: see that. This is why I don't want the Colts
Speaker 1: should be in on Sam Donald because to me, it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: just tell Richardson to sit for a little while, see
Speaker 1: if you can get something out of him. I know
Speaker 1: it's hard because he needim to get reps. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, Shane Styken wants some results. So I
Speaker 1: think if I'm Donald, if I'm stiching like, that's the
Speaker 1: marriage that makes the most sense here where that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good team. You drop in a competent quarterback and
Speaker 1: you're right back in the playoffs, especially in that division.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Colts one is a bad one.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cardinals one is a bad one.
Speaker 1: I think they're both very good landing spots. But if
Speaker 1: I have to pick one, I'm probably gonna pick the
Speaker 1: Colts one. I'm gonna go with Andrew here again, which really,
Speaker 1: I mean, Fitzy, you gotta step it up here now
Speaker 1: because now you're playing from behind. It is now six
Speaker 1: to four, so you got to make up some ground here.
Speaker 1: Let's see if you could do it on DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: here another wide receiver that got traded last year, another
Speaker 1: one that disappointed everybody. So Andrew Erickson, where we go
Speaker 1: in here for DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 2: New York Jets. DeVonta Adams is no longer on the Jets.
Speaker 2: Alan Lazard is going to be traded most likely, and
Speaker 2: Hopkins is on the record saying that he loves Jets'
Speaker 2: new wide receiver coach Sean Jefferson. So I like that
Speaker 2: connection there, and they need receiver. So Hopkins to the Jets.
Speaker 1: There you go, boy, oh boy, he's done the homework. Fitzi,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins goes where Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3: Hopkins is from the Carolinas. He grew up in South Carolina,
Speaker 3: played his college ballack Clemson. The Panthers need outside receiver help,
Speaker 3: and Hopkins could mentor Xavier Lagatte.
Speaker 1: I like the fit ericson. You just got ericson by fits.
Speaker 1: Look at him connecting all the dots there. I like it.
Speaker 1: I think they need some more help down there. Point
Speaker 1: to Fitzie. There, you're catching up a little bit. So
Speaker 1: now it is six to five. Let's go to Aaron Rodgers, though, boy,
Speaker 1: FITZI go ahead. Aaron Rodgers ends up where and by
Speaker 1: the way, if you don't pick an NFL team starts
Speaker 1: his own podcast is also on the table and an
Speaker 1: acceptable answer for your prediction.
Speaker 3: As of now, Joe, the New York Giants are the
Speaker 3: betting favorites to land Aaron Rodgers, and they're heavy favorites
Speaker 3: minus one P fifty as of this morning on DraftKings.
Speaker 3: I think it makes some sense, mainly because Giants head
Speaker 3: coach Brian Dable and GM Joe Schooner they both need
Speaker 3: a good year to keep their jobs. Quite frankly, so
Speaker 3: I think a one year commitment makes more sense than
Speaker 3: an expensive multi year commitment to Sam Darnold, and a
Speaker 3: Rogers signing would free up the Giants to take one
Speaker 3: of the two best players in the draft, either Travis
Speaker 3: Hunter or Abdul Carter at number three. So Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 3: as a stopgap for the.
Speaker 1: Giants, another guy who might not have to sell the
Speaker 1: house that he's living in. I assume maybe Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: was just renting I don't know for two years. I
Speaker 1: don't know his private real estate business. But Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: you got a landing spot for him here Andrew Erickson.
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. That's whoy I think that is going to
Speaker 2: end up landing him. It's not the New York market, please.
Speaker 2: I don't know why Rogers wants to stay in New York.
Speaker 2: I mean, the last two years, don't it's so fun,
Speaker 2: It's really fun.
Speaker 1: I think he gets publicity there. I think he likes it.
Speaker 1: I think he is a moth to the flame.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been great for his football career, that's say
Speaker 2: the least.
Speaker 1: Well, if you think, do you think the Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer wants to finish up in Tennessee? I think that's
Speaker 1: where he wants to close out.
Speaker 2: I don't know why would New York be any better?
Speaker 2: I mean, I like, I like the Tennessee Titans as
Speaker 2: the pick here, So again he can get out of
Speaker 2: the spotlight focus more on playing actual football. And look,
Speaker 2: I know that you don't look at him as a
Speaker 2: mentoring type of quarterback to a young one, but he
Speaker 2: was willing to mentor Zac Wilson like when he was
Speaker 2: first injured. So I think they're going to draft a quarterback.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to draft cam Ward and I
Speaker 2: think Rogers will be there as well.
Speaker 1: See, now, this is the guy that I think should
Speaker 1: be a Raider at this point, right, finish up with
Speaker 1: historic franchise. You know, get him some wide receiver help.
Speaker 1: Yet you got a veteran coach there, right, old school
Speaker 1: kind of football stuff. I think it's Raiders or bust
Speaker 1: for him. I'm gonna go podcast That's where I'm gonna
Speaker 1: end up with him. So no one gets the point here.
Speaker 1: That's where Aaron Rodgers ends up. He's the fifth guy
Speaker 1: on Pat mcafe show. Let's get to Javonte Williams Andrew Ericson.
Speaker 1: Let's start with you with this one. What do you have?
Speaker 2: So if you do a search on X about Vonte
Speaker 2: Williams and the Jets, there's a bunch of tweets from
Speaker 2: me from five years ago Whenonte Williams was entering the NFL.
Speaker 2: I was obsessed with getting this guy to the Jets.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna look at myself as I was
Speaker 2: an oracle at the time, and I think he's gonna
Speaker 2: go to the Jets. The Jets new GM Darren Mogi
Speaker 2: started with the Denver Broncos. He was there when they
Speaker 2: drafted Javonte Williams. And I don't know how high this
Speaker 2: new staff is on Breeze Hall Like he's someone that
Speaker 2: doesn't always traditionally hit the hole. He's always trying to
Speaker 2: hit the expulsive play. They drafted a bunch of running
Speaker 2: backs last year. They've been mocked drafts, the guys like
Speaker 2: Ashton Genty and things like that. So I think that
Speaker 2: they're going to make a move at running back to
Speaker 2: kind of challenge bres Hall after his poor season, and
Speaker 2: went surprised if they bring in a veteran that the
Speaker 2: New GM knows from his time spent in Denver. So
Speaker 2: we debated Javonte versus bress Hall as prospects when they
Speaker 2: came out together. And now they're going to be teammates.
Speaker 2: So at Javonte Williams of the Jets, and I hate it.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I don't love it either, FITZI, this is
Speaker 1: a point for you to score if you get it right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I should be able to pick up the
Speaker 3: point here. I mean the Jets have Brayleen Allen, they
Speaker 3: have Isaiah Davis.
Speaker 2: It's a new Okay. How many times you look up
Speaker 2: and like, wow, what is that team doing?
Speaker 1: We want to be right for I have the answer.
Speaker 1: The answer is every time, exactly.
Speaker 2: So this is one of those situations where I'm trying
Speaker 2: to get ahead of it.
Speaker 3: All right. Look, I know the New Orleans Saints don't
Speaker 3: have two Nichols to rub together in free agency, but
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams is going to be a dirt cheap signing,
Speaker 3: probably close to the veteran minimum and you know how
Speaker 3: teams often get infatuated with the players who've done well
Speaker 3: against them. The one really good game Javonte Williams last
Speaker 3: year was against the Saints on a Thursday night in
Speaker 3: October eighty eight rushing yards, one hundred and eleven yards
Speaker 3: from scrimmage, two touchdowns in New Orleans. Javante joins the
Speaker 3: Saints as a compliment to Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: I think you're both wrong. You'll talk about collecting running
Speaker 1: backs that have been discarded. I think it's Miami. That's
Speaker 1: where he goes, because they just going to bring back
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys there, and you know what, Mooster,
Speaker 1: He's done. You know, we can't keep going with a
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Wilson experiment there, and they need they need bodies.
Speaker 1: Javante's a body. No one gets the square and they
Speaker 1: go they jests, they got twelve running backs already. What
Speaker 1: are they gonna do there?
Speaker 2: We're going to resurface this when the Jets make a
Speaker 2: splash move and you guys are like, oh, where do
Speaker 2: they let go?
Speaker 1: I will I will eat it. I will eat the

Speaker 1: and don't miss a moment of NFO free agency. Next
Speaker 1: on our list, last couple here, let's run through him,
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz. Give me a quick one. Go ahead, Fitzy.
Speaker 3: He stays with the Commanders. He was great for them
Speaker 3: down the stretch. And Ertz has talked about how he
Speaker 3: wished he were younger so he could have more years
Speaker 3: with Jade Daniels. Well, let's give Hertz one more year
Speaker 3: with Jade Daniels in Washington.
Speaker 1: All right? I like that, ericson, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Co Sin back to the Commanders?
Speaker 1: All right, point for both of you, because I think
Speaker 1: you're both right. It's a good marriage. And now that
Speaker 1: you're paying debo, maybe the budget needs to be allocated elsewhere.
Speaker 1: But they got a lot of it, Rego Doubtle, next one,
Speaker 1: ericson where does he go?
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna go to the Saints, reunite with
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore. Moore spent a lot of time with him
Speaker 2: with their overlap in Dallas, and I think that he
Speaker 2: knows what Rigo Dawell can do. So I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: the Saints.
Speaker 1: That's a good one.
Speaker 3: Broncos Sean Payton let it be known at the combine
Speaker 3: that he was not satisfied with his running backs. I
Speaker 3: think Denver's going to draft one, but let's also get
Speaker 3: a veteran running back in Denver. Donell played well last
Speaker 3: year and he caught thirty nine passes. And if you're
Speaker 3: gonna be a Sean Payton running back, you need to
Speaker 3: catch passes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bo Nicks is gonna be thrown to the running back.
Speaker 1: I like that one. Rico to the Broncos. Point for
Speaker 1: Fitzie Diami Brown. Where does he go? Fits Chargers?
Speaker 3: They have money to spend and they need an outside receiver?
Speaker 1: All right? How about you? Erickson.
Speaker 2: Cardinals also have money to spend, third most cap space,
Speaker 2: and the passing game coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals spent
Speaker 2: two years with Brown in Washington.
Speaker 1: All Right, I gotta give it to Erickson because once
Speaker 1: again the holemark is just there. All right, Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if anybody's gonna sign him.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's kind of a lost cause
Speaker 1: at this point here waiting for the return from his injury.
Speaker 1: But if someone does, Andrew, who is it.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna going back to Houston. They're letting
Speaker 2: him test free agency, and I think that he's gonna
Speaker 2: go out and say, oh wow, there's really not a
Speaker 2: market for me as an older receiver coming out of
Speaker 2: torn ACL injury. And I think that Houston's able to
Speaker 2: get him on a discount. So I'll say he goes
Speaker 2: back to the Texans.
Speaker 1: I don't think they liked him, get that feeling that
Speaker 1: he would well liked there.
Speaker 2: I've got a nice fine. I mean, here's productant. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm talking more like among the players, like it just
Speaker 1: felt like Diggs was you know again Diggs. He's just
Speaker 1: a guy who just greats on people. A little bit fitzy.
Speaker 1: Where's Diggs end up?
Speaker 3: The Patriots? And I'm gonna repeat something I said on
Speaker 3: one of our shows last month Shoe. When Diggs joined
Speaker 3: the Bills in twenty twenty, he helped Josh Allen blossom
Speaker 3: into a star. That first dig season in Buffalo was
Speaker 3: the breakthrough season for Josh Allen. Maybe Diggs can help
Speaker 3: Drake may make a similar leap. And I know they're
Speaker 3: not getting vintage Stefan Diggs. He's thirty one coming off
Speaker 3: of torn acl but should be ready to go early
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty five season. I think Diggs would
Speaker 3: be a pretty good fit for Josh McDaniel's system with
Speaker 3: his route running ability.
Speaker 1: All right, point to FITZI, it makes sense again. Stupid
Speaker 1: spending by the Patriots makes a lot of sense to me,
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. So right now we are tied eight
Speaker 1: to eight. Uh no, one, by the way, has five
Speaker 1: right behind you, guys, so we're gonna have to go
Speaker 1: to overtime. Bonus breaking news, Christian Kirk and Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 1: Give me landing spots for those two guys. Let's start
Speaker 1: with Christian Kirk, who just got released. FITZI, what do
Speaker 1: you have?
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm gonna say Buffalo because and I wish
Speaker 3: I could properly credit this, but someone on Twitter mentioned
Speaker 3: that Josh Allen and Christian Kirk are tight and with
Speaker 3: Maari Cooper expected to walk, I think they're gonna need
Speaker 3: someone to replace Cooper, an extra body in their wide
Speaker 3: receiver room, so Kirk hooks up with his buddy Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: I like the Buffalo one Ericson what do you have?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Pittsburgh Steelers. They were rumored to
Speaker 2: be in the trade streets with Christian Kirk last year
Speaker 2: before he broke his collarbone, So I think that we
Speaker 2: would have seen him in a Steelers jersey had he
Speaker 2: not gotten injured. Now that they get a chance to
Speaker 2: sign him for free, so I think he's gonna be Steeler.
Speaker 1: M I think both are good there. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Buffalo has a little bit more of the need, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go there with FITZI on this one last one,
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, this is for you to tie and be respectable, Andrew,
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. Where did he go?
Speaker 2: Raiders with Pete Carroll?
Speaker 1: Walk it in right?
Speaker 3: What do you think, FITZI game theory optimal here? If
Speaker 3: I've got a one point lead, I gotta go with
Speaker 3: the Raiders.
Speaker 1: To you got gamed by Fitzy at the end a
Speaker 1: point for both of you.
Speaker 3: It's win too logical, Joe.
Speaker 1: It's a w Nonetheless, look at that Fitzi at the end.
Speaker 1: You got gamed. This is what my dad used to
Speaker 1: always say. Youth and skills is no match for old
Speaker 1: agent treachery. It's a good lesson. It's a good lesson
