1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six NVIL Combine is in the books

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: and draft season is still just getting started. Mark Ross

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: will be here tonight to tell you who boosted their

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: stock over the past week in Indianapolis. Trade wins are

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: already howling, and the epicenter of this storm is in Houston.

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: We'll break down today's big trade, sending David Montgomery to

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: the Texans and what that could mean for the running

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: back market in free agency. There is fantasy fallout from

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: all these moves as well, and our guy Michael left

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: Florio has you cover. Florio will tell you what the

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: Montgomery trade means for Jamier Gibbs and reveal Florio's favorite

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: fantasy free agent.

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: Fits all the f words, well most of them.

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garifolo.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: I am Tom Pelisero.

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: One week from right now, we will be about eleven

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: hours into our TV day Free Agent Frenzy all day

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: right here on NFL Network, special two hour editions of

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: the Insiders Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So with the free agents,

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: you got another seven days to wait to learn your destination,

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: but the trade talks can go on right now. Already

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: earlier today, we had a couple of moves involving the

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. First, as Ian reported bright and early today

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Texans sending their former first round pick right tackle Titus

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Howard to the Browns in exchange for a fifth round

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: draft pick. Howard also gets a new three year, sixty

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: three million dollar extension in Cleveland, which is attacking their

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: glaring needs along the offensive line. Then hours later we

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: reported David Montgomery has a new home. Sonic and Knuckles

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: never won that ring together. Now Montgomery will be pursuing

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: it in Houston. GM Nick Casserio. So we had another

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: trade for a running back and paid off a couple

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: of years ago with Joe Mixon the game and it

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: ran for one thousand yards. Last year they signed Nick

35
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: chubb Ian this time around, it is Montgomery who's seen

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: me a very very effective back in the NFL. Probably

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: is a better opportunity to produce in Houston, which is

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: why the Texans are willing to give up two draft

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: picks and an offensive lineman to get him.

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that certainly ran.

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: And you mentioned this is something that general manager Nick

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: Cassiro from the Texans has done the last several years,

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 4: find a veteran powerback Adam In as a compliment or

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: potentially more in the case of David Montgomery, and kind

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 4: of add that element to their team. Now, these trades

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: you mentioned them certainly did not exist in a vacuum.

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: The first one, which was the Titus Howard going to

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns to bolster and offensive line that they

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: very very badly need to improve when I talked to

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: Todd Monk and their head coach and improving in the

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: trenches of their most important thing. Big piece here with

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: Titus Howard who gets a new deal. But for the

53
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 4: Houston Texans, it really wasn't just getting the fifth round pick.

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: Was also clearing this money off the books. Remember they

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 4: have the Will Anderson contract extension coming up as well.

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: They needed to kind of clear for that and also

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: add some draft pick compensation and then use some of

58
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: that not perfect match, but use some of that to

59
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: then trade for David Montgomery. And I would say for

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: the Mike Detroit Lions, it was kind of a similar thing.

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: They know Jamier Gibbs are going to come up and

62
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: make a lot of money clear in some salary there

63
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: and makes sense a win win and some early fireworks

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: as we get ready for free agents.

65
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: David Montgomery pushback on a report over the weekend that

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 5: indicated that he wanted out of Detroit.

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 6: That was not the case.

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: However, realistically, he understood what Ian just said there that

69
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: he might be moved, and my understanding was if he

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 5: was traded, this was his preferred destination, and the Lions

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: remained in communication with Montgomery. Obviously wanted to do what's

72
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: best for the team, but at the same time, a

73
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: guy that had run so hard for them and done

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: so much for them over the last couple of years,

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 5: wanted to do right by him as well if possible.

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: Everything came together and that's why this deal gets done.

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: For Houston, who went into last season without Joe Mixon,

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: never had him play last year, so needed to add

79
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: to the position.

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Not afraid to.

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: Go with a veteran running back once again, Nick Casario

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: does that. As for the Titus Howard trade to the

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns, they needed to replace Tyler Conklin, who's been

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 5: banged up for them over the last couple of years.

85
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: They've got Wyatt Teller, one of the guards who is

86
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: going to be a free agent, and headed elsewhere. So

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 5: this Cleveland Browns offensive line is going to look different,

88
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 5: and already we know who one of their tackles will

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 5: be in this case in Titus Howard.

90
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: That Browns tackle, of course, Jack Conklin. Tyler Conklin is

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: a tight end and fully healthy as of last check.

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Also said to hit free of the running back Marty,

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: you want to talk about big names, star power that

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: we've got hitting in the market. Brease Hall is going

95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: to be with the Jets. Where that comes with a

96
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: new deal or tag. They got until four pm Eastern

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: time tomorrow to determine that. But go down the list,

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker, the third is set

99
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: to hit free agency. You've got the likes of Kenneth Gainwell, JK. Dobbins,

100
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, and Naji Harris. Those three guys all coming

101
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: off of injuries late in the season. Dobbins now is

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: fully healthy at this point. It'll be interesting to see

103
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: ian when we're talking about which of these running backs

104
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: goes where. Clearly you have Houston taking a spot with

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: the tray for David Montgomery. You have the Cowboys filling

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: their hole with Javonte Williams, but it seems like those

107
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: mid level types of running back deals are getting done already,

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: especially if David Montgomery ultimately gets a boost from the

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: six million dollars he's owed. What are you looking for

110
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: when it comes to where the exactly these running backs

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: are going to land?

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: I mean, that was a really good description of this market,

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: because almost never it feels like, do we have this

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: many good, productive, young running backs who are set to

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: make some money? And the Javonte Williams deal really set

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: it up where it feels like eight million dollars plus

117
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: is probably the market here. For instance, if David Montgomery

118
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: gets a new deal, I would imagine he kind of

119
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: comes in around there. You have teams like Denver Broncos,

120
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 4: Seattle if they lose Ken Walker, perhaps the Kennis City Chiefs,

121
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 4: perhaps the Jacksonville Jaguars, several teams that need a running

122
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: back and want to go into the draft saying we

123
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: don't have a gaping, gaping hole. These guys are going

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: to get paid in a way that we haven't seen

125
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: in some time. And at the least, Mike, we're going

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: to rebuild the running back market probably where it should be.

127
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 6: There are a lot of good running backs on this market.

128
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker can do a little bit of both, and

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 5: I think that that makes him stand out because a

130
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 5: lot of these guys may be.

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 6: A little bit more specialized in what they can do.

132
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: You can go down to let's say, Tyler Algier, who's

133
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: been a physical runner that's sort of offset what b

134
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: Jon Robinson has done for Atlanta, but should make a

135
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 5: lot of money here. Travis Etn a guy that can

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 5: do some things out of the backfield as well. The

137
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 5: Kansaity Chiefs are going to be in the market for

138
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 5: a running back. You know that they like to have

139
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 5: guys that are versatile, So keep an ear out for

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 5: those two names that I just mentioned as possible Chiefs targets.

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: A lot of teams need running back help and if

142
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: they're patient and may be able to get themselves a

143
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: good value here.

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: Bream Hunt and Isaiah Pacheco both also on that list

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: of pending free agents.

146
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: Chiefs need a running back to neita A. Wright tackle.

147
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: The team planning to release Jwan Taylor, saving twenty million

148
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: dollars of cap space and cash in twenty twenty six.

149
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Not a surprise the Chiefs moving on from Taylor obviously

150
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: quite a few penalties during his time in Kansas City,

151
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: but once again he had a reset of sorts along

152
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: that Chiefs offensive line.

153
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: Mean, while Timetel there's a reset on the edge for

154
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Chargers because Khalil mack i Am told

155
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: age thirty five, one of the best sack maasters in

156
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: the NFL over the course of the last decade, is

157
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 4: going to play in twenty twenty six. Consider retirement, not

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: going to retire, is going to play and look at

159
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 4: the edge market, There's not a ton of guys available.

160
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: I expect him to get a really, really nice deal.

161
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: Don't automatically assume Mike that he is going back to

162
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: the Chargers. He's going to have a lot of options

163
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: and is open.

164
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the Commanders informing Marshawn Lattimore, we expected this one

165
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 5: that he is going to be released. This is a

166
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 5: guy that they acquired via trade a couple years ago.

167
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: This has never really worked out, and then he got

168
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: injured last season tour his ACL So a disappointing tenure

169
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: in Washington for Latimore, who will now look for work elsewhere.

170
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: While the Commanders, who had plenty of capspase in the

171
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: first place, saving eighteen and a half million dollars in

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: space with this move.

173
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Did we mention the NFL Draft is coming up? We'd

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: officially say it is next month, which means another mock draft.

175
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Lance Zerline unleashing his two point zero course Scott Fernando

176
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Mendoz at the top. Then it's a run on edges

177
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: and quarters through the top five of this draft. Go

178
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: to NFL dot com Flash Mock Draft for more. Chris

179
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Rose and Charles Davis raft up the combine forests in Indianapolis.

180
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, Charles Davis.

181
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 7: There was a four letter word flying around here a

182
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 7: lot this week.

183
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,239
Speaker 3: Fast.

184
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 7: It was the fastest combine we've ever seen. Every position

185
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 7: group except for the quarterbacks set a record.

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: What was happening? Yeah, the quarterbacks really lagging one.

187
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, they really need to give themselves in gear.

188
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 8: But you're right, fast, faster, fastest every position group and

189
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 8: the quarterbacks they finished second for the best position group

190
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 8: since two thousand and three, all of them. Incredible speed

191
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 8: on display.

192
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 7: Here at the twenty twenty six NFL combin All right,

193
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 7: let's break down as some of the players that wowed us.

194
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 7: It started on Thursday with the edge rushers, who might

195
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 7: be the deepest position in this entire draft class. We

196
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 7: know what the Raiders are going to do at one,

197
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 7: jets at two. Maybe they found their person out here

198
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 7: this week.

199
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 8: They've got choices, but one of them will be David Bailey,

200
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 8: the edge rusher out of Texas Tech via Stanford, and

201
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 8: he came to this combined with the ability to just

202
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 8: kind of do the measurements, do the interviews, go home.

203
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: I'll see it my pro day.

204
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: But he chose to participate in everything that was going on.

205
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Look, he got after it.

206
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 8: Six y three five ays, two fifty one pounds, four

207
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 8: five thirty five inch vertical, ten to nine broad jump,

208
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 8: one and a half sacks last year for an FBS

209
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 8: playoff team. He did it all and he's amazing.

210
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 7: Tight Ends Kenyan Sadik might be the number one player

211
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 7: at that position, but eltours out of Vanderbilt.

212
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Holy smokes want a workout?

213
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, And we love the story, don't.

214
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 8: We went into Mexico State to be a quarterback where

215
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 8: his father had played safety as an arm injury, converts

216
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 8: to tight end and he's there with one Diego Pavia.

217
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 8: They take their active Vanderbilt. Look at the broad jump

218
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 8: eleven three the vertical of forty five and a half inches.

219
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 8: It's absolutely unbelievable what he got done. And that was

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 8: a two hundred and thirty nine pounds getting that up

221
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 8: in the air, and he converts into a move tight

222
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 8: end in the NFL.

223
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: Taylor Green.

224
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 7: We hope he can stick a quarterback because what a

225
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 7: physical specimen he is.

226
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: That's all he's.

227
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 8: Talking about, and in his mind there's no other position

228
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 8: for him. But he ran four three seven and eyes popped.

229
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 8: We knew he was fast, but I'm not sure we

230
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 8: knew he's four three seven fast, a smooth runner when

231
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 8: you see him play. There's a lot of conversation about

232
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 8: Terrell Fire who came before, and I see a lot

233
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 8: of Vinch Young in him as well.

234
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 6: Forty three and a half inch.

235
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 8: Berger, who is a better overall athlete than Vincio. Throwing

236
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 8: style is similar, but he wants to be a quarterback.

237
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 8: I say he's a quarterback until proven differently. Big arm

238
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 8: just has to harness it a little bit before. Did

239
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 8: he put on a display here of athleticism and throwing ability?

240
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 9: All right?

241
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 7: Well, next stop for all these kids' pro days. And

242
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 7: his teammate is a guy that you're keeping your eye on. Yeah, absolutely,

243
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 7: Mike Washington junior. Remember secured his route right, I mean

244
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 7: he he was out.

245
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 8: There in New Mexico State and then he goes to

246
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 8: to the University of Buffalo. Then he ends up in

247
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 8: Arkansas and his best season was in the SEC at

248
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 8: Arkansas for one thousand yards last year runts four three three.

249
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 8: I don't know if he surprised himself just relief. I

250
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 8: don't know what it was, but the emotion got him.

251
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 8: Did none of the press of the field drills. But

252
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 8: looking at the talent on displaying is one season at

253
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 8: Arkansas against my Tennessee balls right there and getting it done.

254
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 8: But as I mentioned, three different colleges, but his best

255
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 8: season in the SEC. Can't wait to see what he does.

256
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: At pro Day.

257
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 7: I know you're circling March thirty first, that is Volunteers

258
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 7: Pro Day.

259
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: Why isn't so big for Jermad McCoy.

260
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: Because many people have him as the.

261
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 6: Number one corner on the draft board.

262
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 8: Started the season that way, end of the season that way,

263
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 8: but he never played this year because of an ACL

264
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 8: injury suffer last January. Now we have to see him

265
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 8: out there moving the word on the street. The word

266
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,119
Speaker 8: out there is that he passes all the physicals.

267
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: He's ready to go.

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 8: We need to see him now, go through his pro

269
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 8: day workout and see those movement skills because if so

270
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 8: many teams will.

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 6: Keep him number one on their board, I think it

272
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 6: could be.

273
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: The first corner taken in the NFL draft.

274
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: So that's March thirty first. Do you know what the

275
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: next day is?

276
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 8: That would be April first, and it's supposed to be

277
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 8: April fools, but I think it's bigger for us.

278
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 2: That's because it is Hoosier's pro day.

279
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 6: Hoosh Hooshers, and we get to do that.

280
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it felt good, and that means we get to

281
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 7: see this guy do more than just smile and watch

282
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 7: his teammates do their thing on the field.

283
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: From Las Vegas.

284
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: We can't wait.

285
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: We'll see that on April first, Thanks fellas.

286
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: A lot more to come on this show, a lot

287
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: more from Indianapolis, where our guy Cameron Wolf was working

288
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: the hallways of the Indianapolis Convention Center learning everything he

289
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: could about Jeremiah Love and a whole lot more of

290
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: the Wolf of Ball Street joins us in just a

291
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: little bit. But coming up after this, Jeffrey Jinia will

292
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: be here. Look ahead. Free agency opens for negotiations one

293
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,480

00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: Stream one, Seehawks. We're bringing it home again a.

296
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 5: Second time.

297
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 10: When Super Bowl sixteen, they are bringing little party got

298
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 10: to the Northwest. Devout party begins at Leila Stadium and

299
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 10: then Seattle, and.

300
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: He won't stop four days.

301
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: Steve Rambles like the fifth Insider with as much as

302
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: we played his radio calls here on the program the

303
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks, Jeffrey Chedea, Mark Ross joining the program.

304
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 5: Now we need to talk about teams that need to

305
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 5: make a splash in free agency because Jeffrey Chedea has

306
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: got a story that's going up on Tuesday, not up

307
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: just yet.

308
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 6: So we'll give you a little taste, a little flavor

309
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: right here.

310
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 5: And I believe he is going with the team that

311
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: I heard plenty during the scouting of Combine in Indianapolis

312
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: that they are going to make a splash.

313
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: Who are they, Jeffrey, Well, we'll start with the Rams.

314
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 9: I got three, but the Rams to me are going

315
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 9: to be have to be a player in this because

316
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 9: Matthew Stafford is thirty eight years old.

317
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm off an MVP season.

318
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 9: You've got to put more help around him, especially on

319
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 9: that defensive side of the football. Over the secondary was

320
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 9: a major issue down the stretch. They're losing three of

321
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 9: their top four corners from last year, so I think

322
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 9: they're gonna make a big play a cornerback where guys

323
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 9: like Jalen Watson and Greg Newsom and Jamel Dean Rick Woollen.

324
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: Are all going to be out there at free agen.

325
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 9: See my number two team team that lost to Seattle

326
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: Super Bowl and England Patriots, And here you're talking about

327
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 9: a team that people talk about the offensive line, and

328
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 9: I know that there's questions there. Mike Rable at the

329
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 9: combine really supported Will Campbell at left tackle. But a

330
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 9: receiver makes a lot of sense here. Guys like Alec

331
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 9: Pierce and Romeo Dobbs are going to be out there.

332
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 9: And also when edge rusher, maybe a Jalen Phillips type player,

333
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 9: you know, Daffy Olway from the Chargers and Leo Chanoff

334
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 9: from the kansasay Chiefs makes sense here. It reminds me

335
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 9: a lot of that guy when he played football. Mike

336
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 9: Vrabel and then finally my third team, I'm going with

337
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 9: the Commanders. They got a ton of cap space over

338
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 9: seventy million dollars before they got rid of Marshawn Lattimore,

339
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 9: and they need a lot of help all over the place,

340
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 9: especially on defense, where again edge rusher makes sense, a

341
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 9: linebacker makes sense. I think Devin Lloyd could be in

342
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 9: play there, and certainly at receiver and tied end with

343
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 9: a neat help as well. I think guys like Dobbs

344
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 9: and Pierce again, but Isaiah likely to be a player.

345
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 9: And Mike Hupper went out to you, maybe a trade

346
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 9: for Trey Hendrickson that big swing there to get that

347
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 9: edge rust they need so badly.

348
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: A lot of teams would love Trey Hendrickson if he's

349
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: not tagged by the Bengals. Talking about the Rams, I

350
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: mentioned a lot of people in Indy talking about how.

351
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 6: Much they are going to be aggressive in free agency.

352
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: They've got a lot of young guys that they need

353
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 5: to pay over the next couple of years. This might

354
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: be their last chance to spend big time in the

355
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: free agent market. If they get a lower number on

356
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford, that'll help them get that business done. Keep

357
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: an eye on all of that as we get into

358
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 5: next week. Mark your three teams.

359
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna go with the teams.

360
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 11: The first two they got all the money, and the

361
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 11: first one is the Titans, who are in the eerily

362
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 11: similar situation to what the Patriots were in last year

363
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 11: with that guy right there, a second year quarterback. They've

364
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 11: got a new head coach much like the Patriots had

365
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 11: last year. They got the number four picking the draft,

366
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 11: saying that the Patriots have and they've got the most money.

367
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 11: And we saw what the Patriots did last year was

368
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 11: you'd see my okay, let's just get all of that

369
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 11: around Drake May. But they attack the defense those big splashes.

370
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 11: So I think the Titans, if they spend the money

371
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 11: in all those areas, will ultimately help cam Ward and

372
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 11: the entire organization there. And then the next team is

373
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 11: the team with the second most money, and that's the Raiders,

374
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 11: who also have a brand new head coach there a

375
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 11: super Bowl winning coach. And then also likely we'll take

376
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 11: a national championship as their franchise quarterbacks. So you got

377
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 11: your two pillars right there, and you've got the first pick.

378
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: Of the draft. So much like what the Titans can do.

379
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 11: I think the Raiders at Mendoza works best, more so

380
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 11: how he did it Indiana, where all that talent is

381
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 11: around him and he works more like a distributor and

382
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 11: a point guard type situation, not a guy that's going

383
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 11: to elevate it. So I would think they will attack

384
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 11: the offense a little bit more. And then the last team,

385
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 11: of course, we got to talk about. The Cowboys are

386
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 11: on the flip side with no money, and you know,

387
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 11: Jerry Jones did say they're we're going to spend, but

388
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 11: we got to create some money first to spend that

389
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 11: money because their last they are in the cap space

390
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 11: and possibly restructure deals for Dak Prescott much like the

391
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 11: Chiefs did for Patrick Mahomes. Ceedee Lamb, You'll do some

392
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 11: extensions with Quinn Williams guys like that, and then also

393
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 11: probably cut some more players to create that space, Mike.

394
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 11: So two teams with a ton of money, and the

395
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 11: Cowboys will keep talking about them to see if they

396
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 11: can create to keep up with the big dogs in NFC.

397
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, Titans are fascinating because with all that money to

398
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 5: spend under the salary cap, plus all their high draft

399
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: picks and the fact that they already have some talent

400
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 5: and key spots on that roster. That team could make

401
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 5: a quick turnaround under Robert Salah and that veteran coaching staff,

402
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 5: and keep an eye on them. NFL dot Com slash

403
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 5: first read you can go there now read everything Jeffrey's

404
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 5: already written. On Tuesday, though this article will drop, so

405
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 5: go there now. Just keep hitting, refreshed for the next

406
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 5: I don't know how many hours, because sometimes this show reared,

407
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: so it could be just a couple of hours.

408
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: Thank you both.

409
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: Franchise heeg deadline fast approaching four pm Eastern time on Tuesday.

410
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: We already know a couple of players being kept off

411
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the open market. That includes wide receiver George Pickens with

412
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys one year franchise tag for him. Cowboys say

413
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: they want to continue to work toward a long term deal.

414
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Same with the Falcons and tight end Kyle Pitts officially

415
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: had the franchise tag applied. It is set at fifteen

416
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: million dollars. They you look at the top ten free

417
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: agents with that negotiating windows set to open in one week.

418
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: Still see Pickens on the board, but he is officially

419
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: off the board. Malik Willis, acording to Greg Rosenthal, sticking

420
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: with at the number one overall free agent Jalen Phillips,

421
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Lindenbaum Alec Pierce on that list as well. Go

422
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: to NFL dot com for the full list of the

423
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: top one oh one. Welcome back to the Insiders. It's

424
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Tom Pelisero, Ian Rappaport and Mike Garrafollo. Let's start right

425
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: there with Alec Pierce and Daniel Jones in Indianapolis because

426
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: this is one of the fascinating situations we're going to

427
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: be monitoring up until Tuesday at four pm Eastern time.

428
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: For the Indianapolis Colts, you're only allowed to apply one.

429
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: So the Colts have, as we've been reporting over the

430
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: past week, been engaged with Daniel Jones trying to hammer

431
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: out a long term deal. Jones wants to be in Indianapolis.

432
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: The Colts want him in Indianapolis. But can the sides

433
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: come to a number that makes sense. If not, then

434
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: you would expect that they are going to use a

435
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: tag where that's the franchise or perhaps more likely the

436
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: transition tag on Jones, freeing up Alec Pierce to hit

437
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: the market. If the Colts can't work out a deal

438
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: with him. It does have shades of the Daniel Jones

439
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley situation.

440
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: Some years ago with the New York Giants.

441
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: Certainly Mike the Colts are hoping that things end up

442
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: a little bit cleaner than they did in that case.

443
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: Speaking of New York, let's talk about the Jets and

444
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: Breece Hall, the guy that they could have traded at

445
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: the trading deadline. They said, nope, we like this guy

446
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: despite trading two of our other star players, and then

447
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 5: Darren Mouji, the general manager, making it clear that they

448
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 5: want Bryce Hall back and they're going to do everything

449
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: they can to get him back. Well, one of those

450
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 5: things might be a tag, the franchise tag, maybe the

451
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: transition tag, so that bottom of the screen, maybe Lye

452
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 5: on the other maybe the transition tag at eleven million

453
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 5: dollars and change. Because the franchise tag is at fourteen

454
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 5: sounds like the Jets would like to value Haul on

455
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: a multi year deal around that transition tag, maybe a

456
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 5: little bit north of that, which is eleven million. So

457
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: don't be surprised if it is that transition tag which

458
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: gives them the.

459
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 6: Right to match any offer that he gets anywhere else.

460
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: There's just no compensation as there would be with the

461
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 5: franchise tag. So keep an eye on Brisee Hall on Tuesday,

462
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: some kind of tag coming his way in Well.

463
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: There's something that we know over the course of the

464
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: last year, we need to keep an eye on Trey Hendrickson.

465
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 3: Know this story has not gone away.

466
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: One of the big stories of last offseason, one of

467
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: the big stories of training camp is once again here.

468
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 4: Trey Hendrickson's future, I would say up in the air

469
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 4: for the Cincinnati Bengals. They have not yet communicated their

470
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 4: plans to their star pass rusher on whether or not

471
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: they want to franchise him. When he he showed up

472
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 4: last year, he did his new deal, did not get

473
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 4: a no franchise tag clause to the Bengals still have

474
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: the right to give him the tag and say you

475
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: are not going anywhere, and then try to work out

476
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 4: a long term deal with Hendrickson. If not, if the

477
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: money is too much, if they'd rather him go be

478
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 4: free and say, you know what, We're going to spend

479
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: the money elsewhere, maybe on defensive linemen, maybe on some linebackers,

480
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: and Henderson immediately would be one of the highest paid

481
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: and highest profile free agents out there.

482
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: Tom, the NFL combine in the books, but there is

483
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: still a lot to unpack from the week in Indianapolis.

484
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Good thing for us, we've got the Wolf of ball

485
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Street himself, Cam Wolf, joining us.

486
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Cam lay it on me.

487
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I saw you work at it in the hallways, in

488
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: the bars and restaurants around town. Here tell me what

489
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: you learn coming out of that week in india.

490
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 12: Tom, The NFL loves Jeremiah Love. I spoke with the

491
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 12: z X for three different teams who said that Jeremiah

492
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 12: Love is the best player in this draft. The Notre

493
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 12: Dame running back should go in the top ten. And

494
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 12: the word I'm hearing don't be surprised if he goes

495
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 12: in the top five. And so I ask about positional

496
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 12: value with the Notre Dame running back, and one exec says,

497
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 12: this is a draft that's light on elite talent. So

498
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 12: if you find one, even at running back, you take them.

499
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 12: You're supposed to draft pro bowlers and all pros in

500
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 12: the top ten.

501
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 8: Right.

502
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 12: Another exec asks me, if Jamiir Gibbs was in the

503
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 12: same draft, where would he go?

504
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: Top ten, top five?

505
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: Probably right?

506
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 12: And so the Love ran a four to three seven

507
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 12: in his forty yard dash. He ran receiver drills as

508
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 12: you're seeing here and caught the ball very smoothly. He's

509
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 12: a playmaker, not just a running back. And so you

510
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 12: think about where could he go? You think about at

511
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 12: three the Arizona Cardinals, for the Tennessee Titans, seven Commanders, nine,

512
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 12: the Saints. I want to focus on the Titans, who

513
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 12: I know like him a lot. They have a new

514
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 12: stadium coming in twenty twenty seven, they have a lot

515
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 12: of needs, but they need a playmaker for cam Ward.

516
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 12: We know the NFL loves love. Now let's go to Buffalo,

517
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 12: who is certainly going to be in the mix for

518
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 12: some of these big name trade targets. But one guy

519
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 12: they do not want to trade at this time, as

520
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 12: receiver Keon Coleman. I talked with their general manager Brandon

521
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 12: Bean and their head coach Joe Brady.

522
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: They both for adamant.

523
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 12: They think Keon Coleman is gonna have the best season

524
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 12: of his career and they don't want to trade him.

525
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 12: And I'm told that Bean and Brady both met with

526
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 12: Coleman's agent at the combine told him something similar, shared

527
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 12: how they believed in him and what his plan was

528
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 12: to have a big twenty twenty six. I'm told Coleman's

529
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 12: agent also met with Bill's owner Terry Pigula, who told

530
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 12: him how much he loved Kean as well, and so.

531
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: It's going to take trust. Last year was rough, a

532
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: couple healthy.

533
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 12: Scratches because Keon had issues with oversleeping and being late.

534
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 12: Keon also didn't love how he was used, and maybe

535
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 12: the opportunities got in this scheme. They have to work

536
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 12: together to make this thing work. So never say never

537
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 12: on a trade, but I'm told they would likely take

538
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 12: a Day two pick for a team to land Coleman

539
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 12: via trade, And so with the inconsistent first two seasons,

540
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 12: there's more value right now to the Bills than probably elsewhere.

541
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 12: As for Colebman, I'm told he's locked in and having

542
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 12: a great year three, not really worried about the outside

543
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 12: noise regarding trades, and uber confident he can still be

544
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 12: a consistent impact player. And finally, let's go to Indianapolis,

545
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 12: where at the Combine I reported that Anthony Richardson and

546
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 12: the Colts agreed to be able to explore a trade.

547
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 12: Not a great start in his career in Indianapolis injuries

548
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 12: have been a huge part of the story, but they

549
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 12: think a.

550
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: Fresh start will help.

551
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 12: Those Talks have continued this weekend with several teams I'm

552
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 12: told talking with the Colts about getting Richardson. The biggest

553
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 12: thing here is compensation. It's not going to be a

554
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 12: huge price, but you got to figure out a unique

555
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 12: situation how much for a talent, young player who is

556
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 12: entering the end of his first round contract. So no

557
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 12: timeline on a decision. Both teams trying to find the

558
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 12: right fit. I reported last week Minnesota one of those teams,

559
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 12: not the only team. There's going to be more mixes there.

560
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 12: And look as far as Richardson's team, they talked about

561
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 12: what is important for him. Yes, he would love to play. Importantly,

562
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 12: they want to find a coach will consistently develop him

563
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 12: and his skill set help him be the player that

564
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 12: he can ultimately be. And he's willing to sit behind

565
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 12: a veteran with a strong coach if that's what it

566
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 12: ultimately means. And so that's something we'll watch here in

567
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 12: the next couple days and weeks to see who ultimately

568
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 12: makes that flyer chance on Anthony Richson and giving him

569
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 12: a second chance.

570
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: If you're looking for the path a highly drafted quarterback

571
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: set back by a bunch of injuries, traded, and at

572
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: least free establishing himself as a top backup. Trey Lance

573
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: is a pretty good comp landed in the right place

574
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: with Dallas and then with the Chargers. Now set the

575
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: hit free agency once again on the many names. We'll

576
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: be watching. Cam as always great stuff. We will talk

577
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: to you again soon. As fast a group as we

578
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: have ever seen at the NFL combine, look at this

579
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: by position group D line linebackers, DB's tight ends, running backs,

580
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers, offensive lineman. The average forty yard dashtime at

581
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: all those position tops all time, at least as far

582
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: back as our dada goes to two thousand and three,

583
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming in second all time, though half those guys

584
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: don't run the thing anyway. Welcome back to the Insiders.

585
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: It's Tom Pelisero with our front office analyst Mark Ross,

586
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: who was present all three days doing the timing down

587
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: there on the field. Mark, let's start with some offensive

588
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: standouts who jumped out at you and Indy.

589
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: Right before I get to that those times.

590
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 11: It's so fast time because I don't remember so many

591
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 11: people not running, so all the fast guys we're going

592
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 11: to run in the slow guys that we're not going

593
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 11: to And one of those super fast guys was the

594
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 11: quarterback Kaalen Green out of Arkansas who absolutely destroyed Anthony

595
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 11: Richardson's records with the forty, with the forty three and

596
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 11: a half, with the eleven two broad jump, and he

597
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 11: really just put on a show. I mean, he's a big,

598
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 11: good looking guy as well. Does have to get better

599
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 11: with the throwing motion. You see that show up there

600
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 11: once he started doing the drills. But a team his

601
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 11: dad compared on the Randall Cunningham, so a team could

602
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 11: kind of use him as Randall did in his first

603
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 11: rookie season. Rodger Warsky was there where Buddy Ryan would

604
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 11: throw him in on third downs. Maybe team to be

605
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 11: creative with tailor like that. And then the next guy

606
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 11: completely different where Cam talked about Jeremiah Love, the running

607
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 11: back out of Notre Dame who absolutely didn't need to

608
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 11: do anything tom the secure where he would take it

609
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 11: in how teams liked him, but went out there, jump

610
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 11: that fourth, ran that four to three six, got those

611
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 11: drills and you saw the explosiveness transfer in the drills

612
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 11: as well. The hands were spectacular, line them up at

613
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 11: wide receiver to run routes as well, and then the

614
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 11: off the field stuff that he did just just charming

615
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 11: the teams with his personality and his intelligence. So Jeremiah

616
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 11: Love solidified himself to say, wherever you want to take me,

617
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 11: I'll be worth it, no matter.

618
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: How high that is.

619
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Tom Mark I said that Thursday morning on Good Morning

620
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: Football ahead of the linebacker drills. And I'll say it

621
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: again now, there had never been a linebacker wig in

622
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: two forty plus for on a sub four five forty

623
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: eleven foot broad jump and forty inch article until Sonny Styles,

624
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: who didn't just beat those numbers, he blew them out

625
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: of the water.

626
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: What does it mean to you?

627
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: And how does this translate into the overall evaluation of

628
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: the Ohio State linebacker?

629
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: Mark?

630
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean most teams like Sunny Styles a lot,

631
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 11: you know, top fifteen, top ten, like just off of

632
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 11: the tape.

633
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: And then he went and did.

634
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 11: That absolutely historic, historic combine and two forty four. The

635
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 11: way he moves around you think he's two fourteen. I

636
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 11: mean he just so smooth. You see the explosiveness. But

637
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 11: then once he started moving around doing this stuff. I

638
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 11: mean a guy that's that explosive, but that's smooth. It

639
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 11: is really just a rare, rare accommodation that he has.

640
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 11: And then you've got teams looking at, well Kenny play

641
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 11: off the ball? Should he be on edge? Should he

642
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 11: be here?

643
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 6: So?

644
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: Should he be the hybrid guy?

645
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 11: So because he has that frame, because he has that side,

646
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 11: but because he is so fast, so athletic, has the movement,

647
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 11: has the change of direction, and the smoothness all in

648
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 11: one package. Tom, All these defens of cooridator, they're out

649
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 11: these meetings leading up to the draft, are going to

650
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 11: be saying, how do we best new Sunny Styles in

651
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 11: our defense and make him into a perennial Pro Bowl player.

652
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: And all his brother did the next day was quote

653
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: with the dbs and run even faster in the four

654
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: to two. Is pretty good week for the Styles family.

655
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: Also pretty good week mark for the University of Oregon

656
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: and their players. Yeah, your Oregon crushed it right.

657
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 11: And the first guy, the safety Dylan Thieneman, who who

658
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 11: shed the sneaky athletic moniker that had kind of been

659
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 11: labeled on him Tom, And he did that because he

660
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 11: went and ran at four three five and jumped forty

661
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 11: one and broad jumped ten to five. But then this

662
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 11: is where he really stood out once he got into

663
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 11: the movement drills, was like, oh, yeah, this is transferring

664
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 11: into the movement, not just I train really well to

665
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 11: go crush the timing. And then his teammate there at

666
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 11: Kenyan Sadik, who arguably is the best tight end in

667
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 11: the draft, and then he went and broke the combine

668
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 11: record with that forty there that four to three nine

669
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 11: and then jumped forty three. I have Vernon Davis numbers

670
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 11: out of Maryland back in the day type numbers. Little

671
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 11: disappointed he did not go run routes because really he

672
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 11: has to show that element of his game. Despite the speed,

673
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 11: the only average eleven yards for catching. His longest run

674
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 11: this year, longest catch this year was thirty yards, so

675
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 11: you really would have liked to see him do that.

676
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 11: Pro day teams will be all over that see the

677
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 11: hands and the movement match what he did. As far

678
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 11: as the workout numbers, Tom.

679
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: We'll surely see him do some drills at his pro

680
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: day coming up here as the pre draft process rolls on.

681
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: Of course, we've got you covered throughout here on NFL Network, Mark,

682
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I know everybody's first thought today

683
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: when they saw that big David Montgomery trade was how

684
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: does this impact my fantasy team?

685
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: Just me? Okay? Well, at anyway, Michael left.

686
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: Floria will be here for me and you to tell

687
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: you what free agency moves could also impact you in

688
00:31:53,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: fantasy Floria with us next on the Insiders.

689
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: Re agency Frenzy is almost here. An NFL Network is

690
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: your home for all of.

691
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: These signings plus the agreements in terms which actually happened

692
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: before the signing, starting Monday through Wednesday, from ten am

693
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: to six pm, every deal, every trade, every surprise, hopefully

694
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 4: we break.

695
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: Every single one of them.

696
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: World wall covers at all thirty two teams don't miss

697
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: a move when it all kicks off Monday on March ninth.

698
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: We had a good one today with David Montgomery, the

699
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: former running back, former star running back for the Detroit Lions,

700
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: joining the Houston Texans. Remember, all trades cannot become official

701
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 4: until the league year begins on Wednesday. Didn't stop us

702
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: from dropping in that AI picture of David Montgomery and

703
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: his new team with the Houston Texans.

704
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: But what is it?

705
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: Going to be, like, what's David Montgomery gonna be like

706
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: the Texans? And most importantly, how does it affect my

707
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: fantasy team? Our guy Michael F. Foyo joins me in rapport

708
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 4: Mike Grifol as well, So Flurio, I want to start

709
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: with you on the big trade of the day. We

710
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 4: know by now David Montgomery's joined the Houston Texans as

711
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 4: their one a their power running back, just like they've

712
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: done it a couple times of the last several years.

713
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: What did you make of his fantasy value with this trade?

714
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 13: The commenters on my Twitter page disagree, but I think

715
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 13: this is great for David Montgomery's fantasy value. If you

716
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 13: remember down the stretch last year, he was often phased

717
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 13: out of the Lions offense and he was a sit

718
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 13: for me often in stardom sit him. He will be

719
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 13: the clear lead back here and I think he is

720
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 13: an RB two for fantasy purposes who could volume and

721
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 13: touchdown his way any week to an RB one finish

722
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 13: and potentially on the year to like a low end

723
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 13: RB one.

724
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 6: High end RB two type of finish.

725
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 13: I know the Texans keep getting rid of offensive linemen,

726
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 13: which I do not get, but I do they want

727
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 13: to run the ball more than they did last year.

728
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 6: And then for Jamior Gibbs, he could easily be the

729
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 6: one dot one.

730
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna argue.

731
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 13: Bee jumps Gibbs all summer, as we rightfully should.

732
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 5: Yes, who will perhaps and many times on this program.

733
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: All right, let's let's play matchmaker. We've got some free

734
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: agents here. We've got a couple of wide receivers. Let's

735
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: start there and tell us what the fantasy implications are,

736
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 5: or just you know, pair them with your favorite team

737
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: if you want.

738
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: It's up to you.

739
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do that one.

740
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 13: I've been watching a lot of Love Is Blond with

741
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 13: my wife lately, and I'm hoping when the Bills open

742
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 13: their pod this offseason, Mike Evans walks out.

743
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: Because Mike Evans gave us his checkless right.

744
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 13: He wants a QB he could believe in check, a

745
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 13: chance at a super Bowl check, a proven play caller check,

746
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 13: and guaranteed targets check.

747
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: I mean, who else are the Bills going to be?

748
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 8: Like?

749
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 13: Now, we're throwing the ball to over you, Mike Evans,

750
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 13: And even at his advanced age, I think he's gotten

751
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 13: what the Bills have been missing a proven wide out

752
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 13: who could stretch the field. Look, no one that supports

753
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 13: Josh Allen Moore on the network than I do. But

754
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 13: I will admit his deep ball isn't like the most

755
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 13: pinpoint accurate. It's more put in the vicinity and Mike

756
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 13: Evans is the prototype wide receiver to take advantage of that.

757
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 13: And then Alec Pierce, I think he's going to get

758
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 13: a bag and the Patriots have money to spend, and

759
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 13: I just think he is a fantastic fit with Drake May,

760
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 13: who led the NFL and EPA on deep passes last year.

761
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 13: Pierce is one of the best field churches in the NFL.

762
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 13: He led the NFL in air yards per target each

763
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 13: of the last two years. He led the NFL in

764
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 13: yards on deep targets two years ago, was fourth last year.

765
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 13: And I think there's a little bit more to his

766
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 13: game than we have seen so far. So you put

767
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 13: him in New England with a quarterback who could air

768
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 13: it out on a team that has clear targets up

769
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 13: for grabs, I think Alec Pierce could break out in

770
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 13: a big way if he ends up in New England.

771
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I heard all of that. I'm still trying

772
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: to figure out love is Blind? You watching that with

773
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: your wife? What's happening there? Actually funny story. I had

774
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 4: dinner with one of the guy who's involved with Temptation Island,

775
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 4: one of the producers. Okay, really one of the great

776
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: eight and most ridiculous a lot of reality shows. I'll

777
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: take Temptation Island ten days out of ten. Meanwhile, some

778
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: team is going to be no invited, Dude, I did

779
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: there on Malik Willis one of the top free agents,

780
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 4: maybe the top free agent, according to our Greg Rosenthal

781
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: Mike shaking his head, It's all good.

782
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: What is the best fit for Malik Willis for you? Yeah?

783
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 13: I said on this show a couple of weeks ago

784
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 13: that I was more invested in where Malik Willis ends

785
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 13: up than anyone, and then Greg Rosendal had to go

786
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 13: and just top me and make him the best free agent.

787
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 13: But I think the Cardinals are the best face because

788
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 13: of the little floor connection, right, and on top of that,

789
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 13: the Cardinals have really good weapons and McBride, Marvin Harrison,

790
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 13: Michael Wilson, So that helps the fantasy value for Malik Willis.

791
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: But over the.

792
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 13: Last two seasons he leads all quarterbacks in passer rating

793
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 13: complete a percentage EPA per dropback and success rate, and

794
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 13: he runs a whole lot, which is why we are

795
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 13: really excited for him in fantasy he could be like

796
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 13: Kyler Murray, perhaps even with a little bit more upside.

797
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 5: I would say, all right, Michael ef, I do not

798
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 5: believe that Kenneth Walker is going to be back with

799
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 5: the Seattle Seahawks.

800
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 6: That's just my opinion, my my informed opinion to this.

801
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 5: I mean, may be wrong, but let's assume that this

802
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 5: is a rare case that I am correct. Okay, you

803
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 5: got thirty one other teams, where do you put Kenneth Walker?

804
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 6: Look, he's a.

805
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 13: Super Bowl MVP. I'm sure he wants to try to

806
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 13: make it back to another one. So why not go

807
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 13: team up with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City Because the Chiefs,

808
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 13: I know they're gonna Walker's gonna get paid.

809
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 3: The Chiefs can.

810
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 13: Clear some cap though, but RB was already such a

811
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 13: huge need for Kansas City, and we know they tried

812
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 13: to trade for Breeze Hall last year. But currently Brishard

813
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 13: Smith's seventh row pick from a year ago is the

814
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 13: only running back on their roster right now, with Pacheco

815
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 13: and Haunts being free agents, and I think Walker's exclusively

816
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 13: would add a missing element to the Chiefs offense and

817
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 13: defenses would actually have to worry about the running game,

818
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 13: which maybe could help open things up downfield for Patrick Mahomes.

819
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 13: So maybe with Eric the enemy back, we see the

820
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 13: Chiefs be able to win downfield and then that helped

821
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 13: It just helps everyone involved. Kenneth Walker can hit home

822
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 13: runs the past game, could hit home runs, so I

823
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 13: think it's a clear need for Kansas City and this

824
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 13: would be a home run for them. So the other

825
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 13: teams that don't want to see the Chiefs back in

826
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 13: the Super Bowl probably should not let Kenneth Walker.

827
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 12: Go bit.

828
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: What about teams who want Isaiah like one of the

829
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 4: top tight ends available? Obviously we knew his cats share

830
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 4: was going on in vontim Obviously Mark Andrews that really

831
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: ate into it. So it doesn't have the numbers, but

832
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: still incredibly productive and very talented.

833
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: Where do you see him ending them? Where should he end?

834
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 13: I think the Broncos would be a really good fit

835
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 13: and ian you hit it like the numbers aren't gaudy

836
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 13: because of Mark Andrews also being there.

837
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 6: But when Andrews was out or just on like a

838
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 6: per target basis. Isaiah Louck likely pops.

839
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 13: He actually was the sixth highest rating of all tight

840
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 13: ends of the last two years when targeted, and he

841
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 13: had the fourth highest on all targets, fourth most yards

842
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 13: on all targets of ten or more yards, So he

843
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 13: could stretch the field at a very high rate, which

844
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 13: is not something all tight ends can do.

845
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: I know some of you watching they're like.

846
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 13: Well, it didn't work out with Evan Ingram last year.

847
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 13: That's not going to stop fantasy managers from chasing a

848
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 13: Sean Payton tight end.

849
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 6: It also gives bo Nicks another reliable weapon.

850
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 13: It gives likely a chance to be a tight end

851
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 13: one in a favorable offense.

852
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 6: I still think people would draft him as more of.

853
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 13: A tight end two, but I certainly think he could

854
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 13: be a top ten fantasy tight end if he ends

855
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 13: up on the Denver Broncos.

856
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 4: Well, Fourio, I don't know what you're doing next week,

857
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 4: but if you got some time, we'd love to hang

858
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 4: out again and you tell us everything about every player

859
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 4: is going anywhere and how it's gonna help my fantasy team.

860
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 4: Not as much Mike's which is something we all appreciate. Fourrio,

861
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 4: Thank you very much as always, excellent stuff. Looking forward

862
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 4: to much more next week. And it's gonna be a

863
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 4: lot next week, a lot next week, a lot this week.

864
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: Though, if you talk to someone who's never watched flag football,

865
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: you show them a game.

866
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 3: They're like, oh wow, I didn't know that y'all could

867
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: ball like that.

868
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 6: I'm competitive.

869
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 13: Doesn't matter who is in front of you, just.

870
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: Be one step ahead.

871
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 8: You look at the biggest rivalry in flag football, Team

872
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 8: USA team Mexico, the biggest.

873
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: Competition FLA football has been part of.

874
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 6: The steaks are bigger than ever.

875
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 3: Good competition is going to make people want to watch

876
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: the moment we're living right now.

877
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: We have the opportunity to shape how we want the

878
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: world to see us.

879
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Brown's making progress on their new Huntingdon bank Field Stadium,

880
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,239

Speaker 1: The team breaking ground earlier today. A lot of work

882

Speaker 1: still to be done on the Browns new home. One

883

895
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 6: Brace Hall? Unlet's see Brecehall's reaction.

896
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,319

904
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 4: the first quarterback transition tag since nineteen ninety six?

905
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: How about that?

906
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: I did that? I didn't hear it a long time coming.

907
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 3: We'll be here for me.

908
