Speaker 1: If you hate gambling, go listen to NPR.

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: So we will start things off with the Dallas Cowboys.

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 4: In the NFC East. They are the reigning division champs,

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: upset at home by the San Francisco forty nine ers.

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: There are questions around Michael McCarthy his status says the

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: head coach. Going forward, at least there's rumblings. You know,

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: Sean Payton's out there now, YadA YadA, all right, Chris

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: Raybond Dallas Cowboys. There's always always a need you can

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: find with the Cowboys, isn't there. Yeah.

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: I mean they need to get rid of that Z contract,

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: but they can't, so they're not gonna have too much

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: cap space. But I'm looking at their defensive line because

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: they were number two in past defense DVOA year ago,

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: sixteenth against the run, didn't really have any one that

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: gave them above average play on the interior, so I think,

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: you know, they're not gonna have a lot of money,

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: so maybe they go out and get a guy like

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Sheldon Richardson on a one year deal for cheap. And

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: then even on the edge, I think they may need

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: to add someone because you know, they've already come out

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: and said Michael Parsons is not gonna be like a

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: full time edge player. They could save nineteen million by

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: cutting DeMarcus Lawrence, so they might have to do that.

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: But then you also have Randy Gregory and Durance Armstrong

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: who are free agents, so there's a lot of questions

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: about who's gonna be on the edge. And you know,

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: if you want to be an elite team and make

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: a deep postseason run, you're gonna need You're gonna need

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: that pass rush and you're gonna also need just some

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: better play on that defensive line get after the quarterback

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: with four.

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: So, uh, that's that's where I'm looking.

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: You know, I think Jason Pierre Paul might be an option,

52
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: but he was just not very good.

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: He just fell off a cliff last year.

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: But he would have come cheap at least, So I

55
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: think that's kind of the guys that are gonna be

56
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: looking at unless they cut Lawrence.

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 4: As a reminder, folks, we go team by team in

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: the NFC. If you want to look for your favorite team,

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: a team you are following closely, a team you want

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: to learn more about as free agency looms, you can

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: find it with the time stamps here on the pod.

62
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 4: Let's go next to a team. And by the way,

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: there is some news that did break this week on

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: the NFC East, the team in particular, so we will

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 4: get to that. Let's go to the Eagles next. They

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: were a playoff.

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Team, Philadelphia Eagles.

68
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: Philadelphia just over seventeen million dollars in cap space. We

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: still think there's a chance they're gonna believe in Jalen

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: Hurts here going forward at quarterback. There's questions at receiver,

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: and you also think Chris they can do some things

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: here in free agency to address the back end of

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: their defense.

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: I think the back end is very important for a

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: team like this. You know, we know Jonathan Gannon and

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: his scheme. You know, they want to kind of sit

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: deep and keep things in front of them and not

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: give up the big play. So their safeties, Cloud and Harris,

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: they're both unrestricted free agents. They were both below average

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: and coverage last year. So I think Marcus Williams, who's

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: the top safety on the board, is a really good

83
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: fit here. Pro Football Focus charts him as a top

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: seven safety in four of his five professional seasons, including

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: each of.

86
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: The last three.

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna need to pay, you know, upwards

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: of fifteen million dollars per year to get him, but

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: I they can do it. They're middle of the packing

90
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: cap space. I think it would be worth it. And

91
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: then I think a veteran wide receiver would help. You know,

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: Smith is obviously going to be the future for them.

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: But I think they and got her, you know, on

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: the inside, but I think they need somebody to kind

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: of take the pressure off Smith. Juju Smith Schuster could

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: make some sense, you know, would make a big target.

97
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Qus Watkins was playing a lot of slot last year,

98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: but his average up to target was really high, so that,

99
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they could let him go outside a

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: little bit more. Have Juju playing that possession role or

101
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: you know Alan Robinson. I think, you know, a big

102
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: bodied guy could also take some pressure off him. And

103
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: Robinson wouldn't even necessarily have to be that number one

104
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: guy in this offense, but he could be kind of

105
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: that one a one V kind of situation with Smith.

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: So I think Robinson's another guy.

107
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: But Marcus Williams really on the defensive end, is the

108
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: guy who I'd like to see them sign.

109
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Washington Football team.

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: We suspected in our AFC episode that the Colts would

111
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: have to explore the quarterback market because we thought they're

112
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: not going to stay with Carson Wentz. There's too much

113
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 4: pressure on the general manager, Chris Ballard, the head coach.

114
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: In Frank rank Well, news breaking this week, Carson Wentz

115
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: has been traded to the Washington football team now known

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: as the Commanders, for a package of picks that includes

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: two third rounders. Washington Chris is taking on Wentz's full contract.

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: That's according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. They will pay

119
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: him the full twenty eight million dollars this year, which

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: includes a five million dollar roster bonus that's due next week.

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 4: I'm using Schefter's line here, but from now on it's

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: Commander Carson. That's kind of that's kind of nice, But

123
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: what does it do to the Commander's free agency spending

124
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: plan in terms of their cap space.

125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't like this move. I mean, I get it,

126
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: I get it you.

127
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: Wanted a guy at quarterback, but I mean Carson Wentz.

128
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: Going to be a major upgrade on whatever they had

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: going on.

130
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: I don't know.

131
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: I mean, he just kind of Carson Wentz, or at

132
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: least the Wentz we've seen ever since that that great

133
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: season he had a few years ago, has just been

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: this guy that's not really a difference maker and he's

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: actually gonna hurt you more often than not.

136
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: So like last year, he wasn't turning the ball over,

137
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: but he didn't come up big.

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: I still this is kind of a similar situation where

139
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: you know they have one good receiver. In granted McLaurin

140
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: is better than Michael Pittman, but it's like you have

141
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: one good receiver and now you've you've given up some

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: cap space because they were in the top eight, you know,

143
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: before this trade. Now and obviously they're going to drop.

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't love this move.

145
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: I don't. I just don't think it's a needle mover,

146
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: you know.

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: I think, you know, like the rams with Stafford last year,

148
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: that was a needle moving type of type of move.

149
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: I just don't think this is a needle mover for them.

150
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: I do think that, you know, on defense, you know,

151
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: we's switch it around because their defense really let them down.

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: And that's kind of if you have Carson Wentz, you're

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: gonna need a defense, and you have the you have

154
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: the front, you have the line right, and you have

155
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: some talent on the back end. Even though the pass

156
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: defense wasn't good for much of last year, you have

157
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: some talent on the back end.

158
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: But linebacker's a big sore spot for them.

159
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Hulkum was the only guy that

160
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: was even average.

161
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: Bostic was terrible.

162
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: I would like to see them make a running a

163
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: guy like Devondre Campbell. You know, we'll see what what

164
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: kind of salary he commands. You know, he really stepped up.

165
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: Who was a top two linebacker last year, but you

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: know hadn't always been that good, but he could play

167
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: a three down role. So he's a guy that I

168
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: kind of had circled. But I will see how you know,

169
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: the Wentz move kind of affects their cap space, but

170
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: I think linebackers is a key because their defense is

171
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: going to have to carry them. You have Carson Wentz

172
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: in one good receiver right now, and some and a

173
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: good running back.

174
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: But you know, right which you know Tonio Gibson is

175
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: still new to the position, if we're being honest, he's

176
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: still at least not you know, he played it last year,

177
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: but still new to the position. And Martin Mayhew, second

178
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: year general manager with the football team. You wonder, I'm

179
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 4: just speculating now, I'm looking ahead here. I mean Ron

180
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: Rivera as the coach. You wonder if Rivera had to

181
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: say and what they wanted to do here. But I'm right,

182
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: I think Christan your initial reaction is a good one.

183
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,359
Speaker 4: How much here their delusion really making.

184
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, like have you heard like, oh you like, I

185
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: don't know if you've heard some of the quotes this

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: offseason from Rivera and like, listen, it's puff piece season.

187
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,119
Speaker 3: Everyone's kind of talking up everybody.

188
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: But Ron Rivera is like, yeah, I like my I

189
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: like our wide receiver death behind Harry mccuarr, Like what

190
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver death?

191
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: Like It's like they you know, they thought they had

192
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: a chance.

193
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: At Russell Wilson and he was like, nah, I want

194
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: to go to a team with a good roster, you know,

195
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: like I think this team. Evaluating your own talent is

196
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: so important in the NFL, because that's not only gonna,

197
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, kind of let you find value in terms

198
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: of the contract situations, but it's going to tell you, you know,

199
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: who you need to go out and get and how

200
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: you need to kind of construct this thing. And I

201
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: think Washington, you know, I think Rivera is a decent coach,

202
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: but I just think some of the personnel evaluation is

203
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: off in Washington.

204
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: All right, let's move things along here. Let's spend a

205
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: minute on the Giants.

206
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: What do you think New York Giants?

207
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna get Mitch Trubisky and who could beat

208
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: out Daniel Jones, so that that's something you know following

209
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: day ball over from Buffalo. But uh, I think you

210
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: look at them, they don't have much cap space. They're

211
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: actually in over the cap I believe as it stands.

212
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: So they're gonna have to find some cheap interior linemen.

213
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: That's what I think they need to do.

214
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Ted Carris is an option, ode A Bushie Austin blythe

215
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: these are the types of guys, the giants they're gonna

216
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: have to to kind of go out and sign, and

217
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: you probably can get you know, five MILLI year or less,

218
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: and I think you know, multiple interior line and even

219
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: three would be worthwhile for this team because you're not

220
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: even able to value whatever you got going on with Dable,

221
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: with Jones or Trew Bisky or whoever it is if

222
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: you don't have, you know, guys that can at least

223
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: give them a chance to set in the pocket and

224
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: throw the football.

225
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers.

226
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: NFC North Green Bay Packers answer their number one offseason question.

227
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers will be back next year. We still have

228
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 4: yet to find out if the contract is actually happening,

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: because he goes on Twitter and says Nope, that's not happening.

230
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: So who knows. Anyway, he's confirmed he's back. Next year

231
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: Packers come up short again in the playoffs. What do

232
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: they do to put something around him that will appease him?

233
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: Because last year was Randall? What is it now? What

234
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: do they do?

235
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: I hope it's not random Cobb.

236
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean, but so mist and Green Bay can't really

237
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: do anything right now. They're dead last in cap space.

238
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: Think they're like forty six million dollars over the cap

239
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: roughly according to over the caap dot com. So from

240
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: the looks of it, they may have to cut you know,

241
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: some some somebody or a couple of guys both Smith's,

242
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: Preston and Zadarius could save upward the ten million dollars

243
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: each toward the cap. So, so one or both of

244
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: those guys maybe casualties. I think it's gonna be kind

245
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: of more of the same with Green Bay. You know,

246
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: they're not gonna make flashing free agency, probably just gonna

247
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: go to to resign some of their their guys, you know,

248
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: maybe MVS.

249
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: You know, maybe they bring Campbell back. He played well Tonyon.

250
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: They're gonna need a tight end.

251
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: Lewis could be a cap casualty as well, So you know,

252
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver is always going to be the thing that

253
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: I think they need to really get over the hump.

254
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: I mean, look at that loss to San Francisco. You know,

255
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: Roger's just launching it to DeVante Adams pretty much, no

256
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: matter what the coverage.

257
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: What's the situation. They need another wide receiver.

258
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: But they're going to have to part ways with a

259
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: couple of good players to even do that. So I

260
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: just expect more to say from Green Bay and it's

261
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: just going to kind of run it.

262
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: Back another who he trusts is the key to that

263
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: sentence as well right now? Was Adams was tagged this

264
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: week by the Packers. How about the Vikings? Minnesota Vikings,

265
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: they make changes at general manager and at coach. They've

266
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: got stars everywhere, justin Jefferson. You got Kirk Cousins, I

267
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: think in the final year of that monster contract if

268
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: I remember correctly. So he's and it's a lot of

269
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: guaranteed money. What can the Vikings do as it free

270
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: agency starts next week?

271
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: Vicns actually don't have much cap space there. I think

272
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: they're bottom five.

273
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Cousins is accounting for about twenty two percent, believe so

274
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: you know they're actually pretty cap strapped. I would say, uh,

275
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: and if you're a Vikings and I'm sure you would

276
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: agree that cornerback is probably what you want to see

277
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: them do something with Patrick.

278
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: Peterson a free agent.

279
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Alexander was graded by PFF as.

280
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: The worst cornerback in the league.

281
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: So you know, they have this new defensive coordinator, ed

282
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: Dona Telly comes over from Chicago.

283
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: Maybe he brings some of.

284
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: The guys he used to play with, or they signed

285
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: some of the guys he used to have a their

286
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Fuller who wasn't good last year, but you know,

287
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: maybe that was a schematic issue.

288
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: Or Bryce Callahan, excuse me. Both of those guys.

289
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: Would probably come cheap, maybe in the five to six

290
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: million dollars per year range. So yeah, I don't think

291
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: Minnesota can do too much, but they're gonna have to

292
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: sign and they're gonna have to get some value in

293
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: free agency at the cornerback position.

294
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: I would think Chicago Bears.

295
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears could be an interesting and interesting team because,

296
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: as we discussed in the AFC, the quarterbacks on rookie contracts,

297
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: I mean justin fieldsby so don't know what he can

298
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: be as a franchise guy, but you have that luxury

299
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: of the rookie contract. They are in the top fifteen

300
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: of teams in the league that do have money to spend.

301
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 4: How does Chicago also with a new coach new GM.

302
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: Listen, they gave up fifty eight tacks last year. That

303
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: was most of the NFL. So I think they need

304
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: to go get a tackle. I mean, you know Jenkins

305
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: maybe you know, do they look at him as a

306
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: left tackle or did they look at him as a

307
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: right tackle or is he not in the plan at all?

308
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: Who knows.

309
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: I would think you're going to give him at least,

310
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, this year to start at one of those

311
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: two positions. So if they're going to start him at

312
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: left tackle, I think Morgan Moses could be an option

313
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: at right tackle. Kind of a veteran guy who can

314
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: get the job done. They flirted with him last year

315
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: in free agency, but you know they were thinking of

316
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: putting him at left tackle.

317
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: He didn't want to play left tackle.

318
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: So for that situation, would it would have to be

319
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: Jenkins at left and then Moses are right.

320
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: I think Eric.

321
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: Fisher is another possibility because he has that connection with

322
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: Eberflus from Indianapolis. So I think they really need to

323
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: shore up that that offensive line, and it doesn't have

324
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: to be like a Tron Armstead because they have a lot.

325
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: Of holes, you know.

326
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: So they have about you know, they have over twenty

327
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: million dollars in cap space.

328
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: They're in the top half of the league, but they

329
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: have a lot of holes.

330
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know if throwing money at a guy

331
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: like arms that, as good as he is, makes sense.

332
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: I think if they can kind of get some solid,

333
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: above average guys or guys that tackle and on shorter

334
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: deals kind of just you know, okay, so we can

335
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: evaluate fields and give him some protection.

336
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: I think that's what you want to do.

337
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: But I think you definitely want to kind of overhaul

338
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: this offensive line, or you need another receiver.

339
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: Maybe DJ Shark. I think you would be interesting.

340
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, Darnell Mooney was you know, kind of emerged

341
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: last year, so I think Robinson is not going to

342
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: be back. Maybe you get a cheaper version of Robinson

343
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: and a guy like djhr who probably costs, you know,

344
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: three to five million dollars per year less. So that's

345
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: that's what I think you do. If you're the Chicago Bears.

346
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions.

347
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: What masked the Detroit Lions from being very bad was

348
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: they were very likable because Dan Campbell just had you know,

349
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: amazing postgame press conferences and kept those guys believing and

350
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: feels like they're still believing in them. But look, based

351
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: on what you discussed me before we started here, a

352
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: lot of needs still for the Lions. They did sign

353
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: Josh Reynolds to a contract just just the other day,

354
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: but a lot more needs can be said defensively, right.

355
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I start with the secondary for the Lions,

356
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: and they are you know, top ten and cap space

357
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: they have over twenty five million, so they should be

358
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: able to do some things here, safety, cornerback, those two

359
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: positions just imperative that they upgrade. They were thirtieth in

360
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: DVOA against deep passes. They were twenty seventh in DVOA

361
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: against the pass overall, so you know, I think they

362
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: need to upgrade from will Harris at free say he

363
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: was one of the worst in the league. I think

364
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: Marcus Williams makes a lot of sense for them. You

365
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: know that Campbell New Orleans connection maybe could could play

366
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: in or though I think Williams will.

367
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: Have more options than going to a team disbad.

368
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: So I don't know how realistic that is, but I

369
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: think the Lions are kind of one of those teams.

370
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: They have cap space, safety, in corner, you know, just

371
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: go down the list, you know, both of those positions.

372
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: Just throw money at the guys at the top of

373
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: the list and if they don't want it, keep going

374
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: and hope, you know, you don't get too far down

375
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: and you get some some quality guys there because I think,

376
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: you know, they just need as much as they can.

377
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 2: I think they need a veteran at the cornerback position

378
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: at least one because you know who knows with Okuda,

379
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: now you know how he's going to be over warrior,

380
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: you know, kind of hasn't really done enough. So I

381
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: mean that's that secondary just needs to be overhauled. And

382
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: then they you know, we keep hearing they're going to

383
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: be major players at wide receiver. Uh, they have a

384
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: really good win in Saint Brown. I think Reynolds, you know,

385
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: has that chemistry with golf, but they could still use

386
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 2: kind of a an alpha outside guy. So I think

387
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: Cooper Robinson do make sense for the Lions here because

388
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: they do have some money to spend, so it's like

389
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: them spending on a guy like Robinson.

390
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 3: I don't hate as much as some of these other teams.

391
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: Packers your heavy favorite to win the NFC North at

392
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: minus two hundred lions or plus twelve hundred and fourth

393
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: of those four, we have two divisions down, two to go.

394
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: Once again's Brendan Glashee and Chris Raybahn, NFL analyst of

395
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: the Action Network, taking a team by team, division by

396
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: division in the NFC on this podcast. If there's a

397
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 4: team that you want to get specific insight on, we

398
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: have timestamps marking each team. So we transition to the

399
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: NFC South, which now looks strikingly bad across the former.

400
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Our next team,

401
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are still your favorites of plus

402
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: one fifty. Tom Brady has retired, They did franchise tag

403
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: Chris Godwin. They still have pretty good pieces at linebacker.

404
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 4: They do have weapons returning. Gronk allegedly is working out

405
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: at the facility, not allegedly like Bruce Arian said. He's

406
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: working out there, but still they don't know if he's

407
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 4: gonna come back or not. So a lot of questions

408
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: looming around the Buccaneers. How do they stay contenders? Chris?

409
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 4: What's the outlook?

410
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: I need a quarterback?

411
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: And I know they've I've heard rumors that the succession

412
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: plan was always Blaine Gabbert. I don't believe that, and

413
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: I don't think they believe it either. But it is

414
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: kind of worrisome because you know, the guys that you

415
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: would say, okay, probably fit the most, they don't seem

416
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: to be interested in or not even fit the most,

417
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: but just you know, are the best guys out there.

418
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: So Jameis Winston, you know, he can get the ball downfield,

419
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: but they already did that, so then it doesn't look like.

420
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: They're interested in a reunion there.

421
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: And then Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, he does nothing but

422
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: win when he's in a good situation. It's a good situation,

423
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: but arians want to push the ball down the field.

424
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy's not really a fit for that. So they've kind

425
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: of said, hey.

426
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: We're those two guys.

427
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: So it's like, now, I really don't know what you're

428
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: doing here at quarterback if you're the Bucks, and you know,

429
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 2: could it really be a guy like Gabret. I don't know,

430
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: but that's worrisome. And then you know you also have

431
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: a hole at guard now with mar Pet retired, kapas

432
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: a free agent. STNNY hasn't good, so maybe maybe you

433
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: also you know, you don't they don't have much cap

434
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: space right now either, so you know, maybe a Ted

435
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 2: Carris or a Bouchi at guard. But you know, it's

436
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: it's going to be all about the quarterback and how

437
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: they can kind of figure that out because if not,

438
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: I mean, this is in the NFC, this is your

439
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: division to bet. Like you know, the Bucks are plus

440
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: one fifty, but this division is kind of wide open.

441
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: If Blaye Gabret starting a quarterback for the Bucks, I mean,

442
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: like you said, it's just it's just not a good

443
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: division anyone.

444
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: It's anyone's division.

445
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: We'll get to a team that Chris likes, in particular

446
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 4: in the NFC South. We'll go to the Saints next

447
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 4: there plus two sixty second favorite behind Tampa New Orleans.

448
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: Saints.

449
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: Questions around this team as well in terms of what

450
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: are they gonna do. They're gonna sell off any of

451
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: these pieces? Are they going to rebuild? Are they not

452
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 4: going to rebuild? You got some stars on offense and Kamara.

453
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 4: You have Michael Thomas coming back, you think, and you

454
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 4: got cam Jordan who mans up that defense. They've got

455
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: a good secondary as well. You're wondering, though, what do

456
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 4: they do with safety?

457
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're second to last in cap space.

458
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: You're about forty five million over the caps.

459
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: So you're not gonna be able to bring back Williams

460
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: as we've talked about. You know, I've heard them wink

461
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: to tyrone Matthew, but like, how are they going to

462
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: pay him?

463
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: You know, he could.

464
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: He might not fetch as much as Williams, but he's

465
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: gonna command a good chunk of money himself. I think

466
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: a better option maybe would be a guy like Anthony Harris.

467
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: I think he would only I think he would cost

468
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: under five million year. But this team could be really bad.

469
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, especially who knows what's going on

470
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: with Camara. Like there's a lot of kind of variants

471
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: here because I mean they could be they could win

472
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: a division, I mean did they could They could end

473
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: up going like Tasom Hill Camara no legal issue. You know,

474
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Michael Thomas is back, the defense is still good enough,

475
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: the line is still good enough, and they could win

476
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: a division, or they could just be abysmal. I mean,

477
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: given you know no Sean Payton here, you know that

478
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: the holes they have in the roster. So I mean,

479
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: it's not the worst bet any any team in this

480
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: division outside of the Bucks is not the worst bet.

481
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, I think there's a better option

482
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: here than to Warrens because they're they're just in.

483
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: Cap hell Carolina Panthers.

484
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: You're in and we go to the Carolina Panthers. There

485
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: are questions around Matt Rule, his security, Christian McCaffrey is

486
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 4: in trade rumors now once again. But you still feel

487
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 4: the Panthers. Well, give us the path, give us the

488
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: path on the Panthers this offseason, more specifically in free

489
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 4: agency as to why you believe in them.

490
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't believe in them.

491
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: I'm in terms of like Sam Darno, but the value

492
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: at plus four hundred to win this wide open division,

493
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: I mean why not?

494
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: I mean you look at them.

495
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: They have twenty two million cap space, so that's the

496
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: most in the division.

497
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay is over the cap. The Warrens is way

498
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: over the cap.

499
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: And when is going to have a little more space

500
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: now that with the Calvin Ridley situation. But CAROLINEA is

501
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: still going to have probably over ten million dollars more

502
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: than Atlanta. And I think Carolina already has a better

503
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: roster than Atlanta arguably, So you know, I think Carolina

504
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: is an interesting team. I mean, I think they're I

505
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: think they can put some things together on defense.

506
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: I think they have some pieces there.

507
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: Obviously they're probably gonna have to revamp the secondary a

508
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: little bit.

509
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 3: But I also think they can kind of cobble.

510
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Together in the offensive line with this cap space, it

511
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: won't look quite as bad as it did last year.

512
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 2: So last year they were kind of this like you know,

513
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: some people were like a little more bullish on them,

514
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: and I thought you should be. But this year, I

515
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: mean in this division, as you know, with Blaine Gabbard

516
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: and Matt Ryan old ghost of Matt Ryan, and yeah,

517
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 2: we don't even know Taysom Hill or I mean, it

518
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: could be who knows, it could be Ian, but I mean,

519
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: who knows what's going on?

520
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: Look right like, I mean it could It's.

521
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: Just so wide open that when I I just see

522
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: like the Panthers like, oh yeah, like they might get

523
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: to like seven eight wins and win this division. If

524
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: things go really bad for Tampa Bay and they don't

525
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: and they don't find a quarterback and they're not able

526
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: to replace you know, some of the guys they lose

527
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: on defense and whatnot.

528
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: So uh, yeah, you know.

529
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: It's not sexy, but Carolina plus four hundred not not

530
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: the worst bet, uh at this time. You're especially given

531
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: that they have the most cap space in the division.

532
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 4: I think it is sexy. More so because say you

533
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: because if you went like the Falcons, Atlanta Falcons, I

534
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 4: don't know what to say. You know, that was how

535
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: I'm like Tea and Chris up everybody. I'm like giving

536
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 4: them a little nugget on each team. I have no

537
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 4: idea what to say about the Falcons. What do they do?

538
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: Like they they have like no caps based or bottom

539
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: third of the league. They didn't draft the quarterback last year,

540
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 4: and they're gonna go with Nett Ryan again. They need

541
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: help everywhere.

542
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so the one thing you could say

543
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: about the Falcons, and again this is why I say,

544
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: like any team but the Bucks, you can make a

545
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: case for the Falcons. One thing they did good last

546
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 2: year and you're one under Artis Smith was beat up

547
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: on bad teams.

548
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: They might have bad teams.

549
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: In their division to beat up on, so too, but

550
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: oh they're so bad, and I think they need an

551
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: edge rusher. I really think they need at least one,

552
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: if not to because they were dead last in pressure rate.

553
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: And that's like, you know.

554
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: As we go through this podcast, I know a lot

555
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: of people, a lot of the talk and free agency

556
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: is around the same. It's like quarterbacks and wide receivers,

557
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: and it just this is just not a great free

558
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 2: agency class for quarterbacks, for wide receivers, and and you know,

559
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: the draft maybe wide receivers a little better quicks. But

560
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: so I look at the defensive side of the ball,

561
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: I say, hey, you know, you're gonna have pressure.

562
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to be able to cover.

563
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm you know, I'm talking a lot

564
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: more defense here because I think that's a little more

565
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: attainable and it might be worth a little more if

566
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: you're you know, you you can get pressure against some

567
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: of these teams that are in these you know kind

568
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: of situations with the you know, the lack of a quarterback.

569
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: So you know, you can't last and pressure rate and

570
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: win in the National Football League. So I think that's

571
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: what the Falcons need to do. You know, maybe Nuwosu

572
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 2: from the Chargers. I think you could get him from

573
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 2: under ten mil. Lorenzo Carter, he could probably get him

574
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: for under five mil. Those are some you know, reasonable

575
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: kind of affordable guys. Because the Falcons aren't gonna have

576
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: a ton of caps space, They're gonna have some. And

577
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: now they might need to resign Russell Gage now that

578
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: they're not gonna have Rid. I mean, you know, they're

579
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: still gonna need other receivers. But at the minimum, they

580
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: might still need to resign Gauge, and he probably won't

581
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: cost too much. I would say, you know, seven eight

582
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 2: million year wouldn't be too bad. He actually played really

583
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: well against man coverage, so I would be scared to see,

584
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: you know, this offense if you take a guy who

585
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: averaged uh, you know, two point yards per route against

586
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 2: man coverage out of the equation. So I think they

587
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: would do well to sign Gauge. But they're gonna need

588
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: another guy. You know, maybe maybe they takes a flyer

589
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 2: on Will Fuller, you know, playing indoors, maybe you can

590
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: stay healthy. So but yeah, it's it's ugly for Atlanta.

591
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 4: We make the turn for home. Four teams that folks

592
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: are interested in because of the news recently and just

593
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: it's the best division in the conference. The NFC West

594
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: will begin with the reigning Super Bowl.

595
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: Champion Los Angeles Rams, Chris.

596
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 4: When you win the championship, there's not much you got

597
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: to do to fix your team.

598
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is why, you know, going back to

599
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: our last episode, I said, we at the Bengals, they're undervalued.

600
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: The Rams are like kind of in the opposite situation

601
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: where yeah, they won the thing, but they're bottom three

602
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: in cap space. They're probably gonna be twenty mili over

603
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: the cap. There's gonna be a lot of guys that

604
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: they just can't resign. So I think they're gonna prioritize von.

605
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: Miller and maybe Odo Beckham.

606
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've need to prioritize Beckham. I

607
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: know he gave you a lift, but obviously the injury

608
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: you have Woods coming back off the same injury, maybe

609
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: you can get by without that. I would say they

610
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 2: need to make sure they go get von Miller and

611
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: keep him there because I think he really helped that

612
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: pass rush. Who you know, they weren't necessarily getting a

613
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 2: ton of pressure, they were getting home and getting sacks.

614
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: But I think Von Miller. It's kind of like the Chiefs,

615
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: where you.

616
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: Know Ingram really helped adding that pass rush, I think

617
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: Miller really helped.

618
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 3: So that's the guy I would focus on.

619
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: But you're gonna see them lose a ton of guys

620
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: I think from last year, a couple of guys on

621
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: the O line, Williams that corner.

622
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: So there's not much they can do.

623
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: But I would prioritize Miller if I were the Rams,

624
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: and I think that's what they're gonna do.

625
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: It feels like Miller's there's gonna be a bidding war

626
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 4: for von Miller. Now he's like, well, you know, I

627
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: mean the Broncos called me, and hey, the Chiefs called me.

628
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 4: So that the Rams they just keep spending they very

629
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: well could.

630
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: They might need to be another one of those teams

631
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: that just ends up going going after those guys on

632
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: a one year deals and trying to run it back

633
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: with you know, like an Ingram or a Houston, because

634
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: they might just not be able to afford a Von Miller.

635
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers.

636
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 4: Let's go to the San Francisco forty nine ers because

637
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: they were a playoff team as well, and they get

638
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: all the way to the NFC title game, falling to

639
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packers. They don't have much room in

640
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: cap space. Rumors of Tom Brady maybe going there, but

641
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 4: we'll leave that to the side. They've got to upgrade

642
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: at corner and maybe they're going to Trey Lance, because

643
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: there's a reports now with Carson Wentz going to the

644
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 4: Commanders of Washington, Jimmy Garoppolo is on the list for

645
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: the Colts, which then would mean Trey Lance gets the

646
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: keys to San Francisco's kingdom.

647
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean cap space wise, that would be good

648
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: for San Francisco. That would free up about twenty six million.

649
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: So right now they're about one million over the cap,

650
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: so trading Garoppolo would really open.

651
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: Things up San Francisco.

652
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: So this is a sneaky team to bet on this

653
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: time of year as well. They're plus one eight to

654
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: win the North, that's second place behind the Rams. They're

655
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: plus five fifty to win the Conference that that's third

656
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: place behind the Rampackers. So they're a sneaky team because

657
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: they could get better, like a lot better if Lance

658
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: can kind of, you know, unlock that offense, and he

659
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: could actually be an upgrade on Garoppolo. You know, he

660
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily play like it, and Garoppolo has an excellent

661
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: win loss record with the franchise. But it's conceivable that

662
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: Lance could be an upgrade. And then you would have,

663
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, twenty five million dollars in cap space, and

664
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: you already have a pretty good roster, good coaches.

665
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of upside.

666
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: With this team right now, whereas like you know, we

667
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what they're gonna do, but yeah, cornerback

668
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: has to be it. I look at guys like Casey

669
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: Hayward could be an option. I think Dj Reed Junior

670
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: or the Seahawks. You know, he's quietly graded as a

671
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: top fifteen corner each of the last two years and

672
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: according to PFF. So he's a guy that you know,

673
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't even be super expensive, but could really upgrade them.

674
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: I think if they have the cap space, you know,

675
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: maybe even go after a Carlton Davis, uh, you know,

676
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that you know, in their scheme,

677
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: would play, would fit very well. So cornerback just has

678
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: to be what they look for first and foremost for Stanford,

679
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: and i've you know, heard the rumors that they could

680
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: be interested in a Juju Smith Schuster as well, so

681
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: you know, maybe upgrade that that receiver room a little

682
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: bit that that that third spot. But yeah, cornerback for them,

683
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: and they're a dangerous team just to.

684
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: Tick behind the Rams in terms of odds to win

685
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: the NFC West. And you have the Cardinals, who were

686
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: the talk of the league last year. I think it

687
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: was what eight and.

688
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, they were the last un beaten team.

689
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: I believe that's right. So the Cardinals they fall short

690
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: to the Rams in the.

691
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Postseason, Arizona Cardinals.

692
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 4: What do the Cardinals do? Of course, they think Kyler

693
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: Murray's back, or at least he's back on the the

694
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: Arizona Maps back on ig He's back on I'm just

695
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: gonna say in the social media world, he's back. But

696
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 4: what can the Cardinals do to upgrade and keep pace

697
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: with the two teams that knocked them off?

698
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: I mean, cornerback is their glaring weakness.

699
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: You know, they were one of the worst teams in

700
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: terms of their perimeter corners. Uh, Robert Alfred's a free agent, Yeah, Murphy,

701
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: you have Marco Wilson, they didn't play well.

702
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: Uh, maybe you try for a reunion with Rasseull Douglas.

703
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: You know he was on their practice squad before Green

704
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: Bay poached him. Uh. You know, Chris Harris is another

705
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: guy that could come cheap. Achille Witherspoon another guy that

706
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: could come cheap and has some some upside to give

707
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: you some quality snaps. Maybe, uh, Steven Nelson another guy

708
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: a little a little bit more expensive, probably in that

709
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: seven mill range. But I think they need to sign multiple,

710
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: uh kind of value veteran cornerbacks and just hope that

711
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: they hit because you know, we know their offenses is

712
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: going to be decent with with Kylo are there, but

713
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: they just need to kind of upgrade that cornerback because

714
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: you're still gonna have to deal with Cooper Cup and

715
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: the Rams and.

716
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: Dehawks have two great receivers. Even if they don't have

717
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson.

718
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: The Niners have Deebo Samuel, they have Kiddo, they have Aux,

719
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: so they have you know, they still have a dangerous

720
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 2: passing game even if it's trade lance. So that secondary

721
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: for Arizona has to get better.

722
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks.

723
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: Before we wrap up the Seattle Seahawks they get a

724
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: ton of draft picks and some players in the Russell

725
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 4: Wilson trade. They're going to release Bobby Wagner, so you

726
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: move off the Wilson contract, you make the cut of

727
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 4: Wagner to free up some rooms. So they're top ten

728
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 4: in the league now in cap space thirty three million dollars.

729
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: Who knows what they do with their other spots too.

730
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: If they move off guys, do they go complete rebuild?

731
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: How does Pete Carol factor into all of this? What

732
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: is the outlook for Seattle? That's a loaded question when

733
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 4: you think about it, because of what they're they don't

734
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: really know what they want to do yet.

735
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: I think I have to go complete revoteing.

736
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: I think that's why the minute they traded Russ, Well,

737
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: first of all, they traded Russ, right like, you know,

738
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: that's kind of the signal right there. They traded Russ

739
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: for a boatload of picks and Drew Lock and you

740
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: know a couple other guys. But that kind of signals

741
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 2: the rebuild. And then they go ahead and release Wagner.

742
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 2: So this is a rebuild, So you know, I don't

743
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: think they're going to resign guys like Dwayne Brown and

744
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: Quandre Diggs and Brandon Show and for Shad Penny and.

745
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: You know even po Chick on the old line.

746
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: You know, I just think they're gonna go full rebuild

747
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: and kind of be flexible and put them.

748
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: You know, because they need a home run.

749
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 2: Now. You know, they have cap space, they have flexibility.

750
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: So they're a team that they just need to be flexible.

751
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 3: They need a home run.

752
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: I think, you know, if you are going to go

753
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: after anyone in free agency, I would want a young

754
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 2: building lock, especially at a position like corner where you

755
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: have struggled over the years. So I think Carlton Davis

756
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 2: could be a good fit here. You know, he's still

757
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 2: twenty five. He was a top thirty corner last year.

758
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: I think he could fit in well. But if I'm Seattle,

759
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 2: I wouldn't expect them to kind of make a bunch

760
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: of these kind of veteran moves that they've made in

761
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: the path. I think it's going to be all young

762
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: guys and just hold on to the cap space, all right.

763
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 4: That's going to do it for us, everybody. Once again,
