Speaker 3: How was your week last week with the NFLPA.

10
00:00:38,988 --> 00:00:40,908
Speaker 5: It was good. I had a good trip in Arizona.

11
00:00:40,988 --> 00:00:43,708
Speaker 5: Have fun. Missed you guys. A lot has gone down.

Speaker 5: and doing what we do.

15
00:00:51,708 --> 00:00:54,988
Speaker 4: Ian Rappaport as if Peter's going to say things eventually.

16
00:00:55,068 --> 00:00:56,668
Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you.

17
00:00:56,788 --> 00:00:59,428
Speaker 4: It's free agency frenzy at he Games later on Monday,

18
00:00:59,468 --> 00:01:02,148
Speaker 4: Ian Big Quarterback News late last night, give us the

19
00:01:02,148 --> 00:01:03,588
Speaker 4: details and how much coffee of you had.

20
00:01:03,788 --> 00:01:05,868
Speaker 6: I've had only a little bit of coffee this morning,

21
00:01:05,868 --> 00:01:07,308
Speaker 6: but I did work out, so that gives me a

22
00:01:07,348 --> 00:01:09,348
Speaker 6: little bit of boost. Russell Wilson, by the way, gave

23
00:01:09,428 --> 00:01:13,188
Speaker 6: us a boost last night before midnight. Decided to just

24
00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:14,748
Speaker 6: announce that he was going.

25
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:16,348
Speaker 7: To the Steelers. There's no deal to be done. It's

26
00:01:16,348 --> 00:01:17,548
Speaker 7: not like they agreed to terms.

27
00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:20,588
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson's contract is what it is, one point two

28
00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:23,468
Speaker 6: million dollars the veteran minimum. Of course, we know the

29
00:01:23,548 --> 00:01:25,908
Speaker 6: reason for that is the Broncos around the hook for

30
00:01:26,108 --> 00:01:27,428
Speaker 6: thirty nine million.

31
00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:28,588
Speaker 7: Dollars fully guaranteed this year.

32
00:01:28,628 --> 00:01:31,828
Speaker 6: So the Steelers paying the minimum and give Kenny Pickett

33
00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:35,308
Speaker 6: some competition at quarterback. No, the reality is really from

34
00:01:35,308 --> 00:01:38,468
Speaker 6: the start, this has been the most obvious and clearest

35
00:01:38,828 --> 00:01:40,348
Speaker 6: landing spot for Russell Wilson.

36
00:01:40,388 --> 00:01:42,508
Speaker 7: It doesn't even really seem like it was a debate.

37
00:01:42,548 --> 00:01:45,828
Speaker 6: It was always going to be Russell Wilson and the Steelers.

38
00:01:45,468 --> 00:01:47,388
Speaker 7: Sound like this meeting there was fine.

39
00:01:47,588 --> 00:01:51,388
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson now lands in Pittsburgh. We will see in

40
00:01:51,508 --> 00:01:54,708
Speaker 6: training camp how Mike Tomlin handles the many, many questions

41
00:01:54,908 --> 00:01:58,988
Speaker 6: about the quarterback battle. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings also have

42
00:01:59,068 --> 00:02:02,028
Speaker 6: a quarterback question, as they've had really ever since Kirk

43
00:02:02,068 --> 00:02:04,988
Speaker 6: Cousins went down with a torn achilles this past season.

44
00:02:05,068 --> 00:02:06,228
Speaker 7: My understanding his Cousins.

45
00:02:06,388 --> 00:02:09,908
Speaker 6: Obviously, we are getting close to the legal negotiating window,

46
00:02:09,948 --> 00:02:11,788
Speaker 6: the tampering window, whatever you want to call it. You

47
00:02:11,828 --> 00:02:14,948
Speaker 6: have teams like the Atlanta Falcons who are waiting. It

48
00:02:15,028 --> 00:02:18,468
Speaker 6: does seem like the Minnesota Vikings are still working, still

49
00:02:18,508 --> 00:02:21,188
Speaker 6: trying to see if there's somehow, some way they can

50
00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:23,988
Speaker 6: get Kirk Cousins to stay. He is always going to maximize,

51
00:02:24,268 --> 00:02:27,028
Speaker 6: always going to take the biggest deal. But the clock

52
00:02:27,228 --> 00:02:29,828
Speaker 6: is ticking for the Vikings. If it's not Cousins, they're

53
00:02:29,868 --> 00:02:32,788
Speaker 6: going to have to pivot to Plan B. The Tampa

54
00:02:32,788 --> 00:02:35,228
Speaker 6: Bay Buccaneers did not have to pivot to Plan B.

55
00:02:35,588 --> 00:02:39,508
Speaker 6: Their Plan A is staying home. Baker Mayfield agrees to

56
00:02:39,628 --> 00:02:42,908
Speaker 6: terms on a three year, one hundred million dollar contract

57
00:02:42,948 --> 00:02:44,228
Speaker 6: about thirty three million.

58
00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:47,868
Speaker 7: Dollars per year average, but around let's say, around wherever

59
00:02:47,988 --> 00:02:49,108
Speaker 7: the franchise tager would be.

60
00:02:49,108 --> 00:02:51,748
Speaker 6: But I think the most important thing forty million dollars

61
00:02:51,788 --> 00:02:56,708
Speaker 6: fully guaranteed Russ Baker Mayfield played it out.

62
00:02:57,068 --> 00:03:00,028
Speaker 7: He bet on himself. Now he lands in exactly the

63
00:03:00,028 --> 00:03:01,028
Speaker 7: place he should have.

64
00:03:01,308 --> 00:03:04,188
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a deal.

65
00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:07,268
Speaker 4: It's very good rap sheet. We appreciated this a lot.

66
00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:09,748
Speaker 4: That is a lot, and that's frankly, just one position

67
00:03:09,788 --> 00:03:12,388
Speaker 4: to start covering this morning and nothing's officially official yet

68
00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:15,628
Speaker 4: until later on today, rap Sheet, thank you. Let's stick

69
00:03:15,668 --> 00:03:17,748
Speaker 4: with Russell Wilson and the fact that at the end

70
00:03:17,788 --> 00:03:19,908
Speaker 4: of last week here on Good Morning Football, a rap

71
00:03:19,948 --> 00:03:22,148
Speaker 4: Sheet tweet said that Russell Wilson was on a commercial

72
00:03:22,148 --> 00:03:24,628
Speaker 4: airline from Newark to Pittsburgh.

73
00:03:24,748 --> 00:03:25,508
Speaker 3: The report was he.

74
00:03:25,508 --> 00:03:26,948
Speaker 4: Had met with the Giants, that he was going to

75
00:03:26,948 --> 00:03:29,708
Speaker 4: meet with the Steelers. Now he is headed to Pittsburgh officially.

76
00:03:29,708 --> 00:03:32,628
Speaker 8: Peter, your thoughts, Yeah, a thirty eight million dollars will

77
00:03:32,628 --> 00:03:35,908
Speaker 8: be paid to Russell Wilson by a different team next year,

78
00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:39,108
Speaker 8: which is incredible. The Denver Broncos are paying Russell Wilson

79
00:03:39,148 --> 00:03:42,388
Speaker 8: thirty eight million dollars. He'll sign his deal with Pittsburgh

80
00:03:42,548 --> 00:03:45,428
Speaker 8: be for minimum money. I think it's a great fit

81
00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:49,308
Speaker 8: in that here's a team that has a twentieth overall

82
00:03:49,308 --> 00:03:51,468
Speaker 8: pick in Kenny Pickett, who is good as a rookie,

83
00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:53,588
Speaker 8: took a step back as a second year guy, and

84
00:03:53,628 --> 00:03:56,508
Speaker 8: here's Russell Wilson, who is a veteran thirty six year

85
00:03:56,508 --> 00:04:00,228
Speaker 8: old quarterback looking to revive his career and prove something.

86
00:03:59,988 --> 00:04:01,428
Speaker 9: And is not making anything.

87
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:03,788
Speaker 8: So you go to together and it's like this isn't

88
00:04:03,828 --> 00:04:06,508
Speaker 8: your first over a pick. This isn't a guy who

89
00:04:06,668 --> 00:04:09,468
Speaker 8: was a top five pick. Kenny Pickett is now entering

90
00:04:09,548 --> 00:04:12,068
Speaker 8: year three. I mean, do you take the kid gloves

91
00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:14,228
Speaker 8: off and say, let's have a true competition. Here's what

92
00:04:14,268 --> 00:04:16,508
Speaker 8: it is. And it's not gonna be Mason Rudolph. It's

93
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,948
Speaker 8: gonna be Russell Wilson. I think Russ is gonna light

94
00:04:18,988 --> 00:04:21,628
Speaker 8: a fire under Pickett. Pickett's gonna have to win his

95
00:04:21,788 --> 00:04:24,868
Speaker 8: job over Russ. And I find the mix interesting. New

96
00:04:24,868 --> 00:04:26,668
Speaker 8: offensive coordinator with Arthur Smith.

97
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:28,508
Speaker 7: Six hour meeting.

98
00:04:28,588 --> 00:04:31,668
Speaker 8: I was told with the Steelers, met with Tomlin, met

99
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:34,308
Speaker 8: with Arthur Smith again, thirty eight million dollars. If they

100
00:04:34,348 --> 00:04:36,148
Speaker 8: don't have to spend, someone else is spending. This is

101
00:04:36,228 --> 00:04:38,588
Speaker 8: Russell Wilson who will make I would imagine one half,

102
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:41,388
Speaker 8: maybe one third of what a Jacoby Brissett or Gardner

103
00:04:41,428 --> 00:04:44,548
Speaker 8: Minshew's gonna make financially. It makes sense, and this is

104
00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:46,628
Speaker 8: the right quarterback room in that the competition.

105
00:04:46,948 --> 00:04:48,388
Speaker 9: All right, twentieth.

106
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:50,068
Speaker 8: Overall pick has had two years to prove himself and

107
00:04:50,068 --> 00:04:52,228
Speaker 8: we're not quite sure if he's the man yet. All right, yeah,

108
00:04:52,308 --> 00:04:54,388
Speaker 8: let that makes sense. Let let's let's put these two together.

109
00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:56,588
Speaker 8: And let's see who go win the job. Russ Pittsburgh.

110
00:04:56,588 --> 00:04:58,828
Speaker 8: I didn't see it coming about a month ago, especially

111
00:04:58,868 --> 00:05:01,508
Speaker 8: at the combine when Omar Khan, who's a GM, was like,

112
00:05:01,628 --> 00:05:04,348
Speaker 8: we really like Kenny Pickett, but just tells you don't

113
00:05:04,508 --> 00:05:06,708
Speaker 8: believe what you hear in the common And they still

114
00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:08,588
Speaker 8: might like Cunney Pickett, but they're not gonna just give.

115
00:05:08,468 --> 00:05:08,948
Speaker 9: Him the job.

116
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:11,988
Speaker 5: It's so interesting. And last week mentioned the Steelers, mentioned

117
00:05:12,028 --> 00:05:14,948
Speaker 5: the Giants with teams that had young quarterbacks that yeah,

118
00:05:14,988 --> 00:05:17,468
Speaker 5: they like them, but we're a little bit unsure. And

119
00:05:17,548 --> 00:05:19,788
Speaker 5: we talked about the fit of Russ and Pittsburgh last

120
00:05:19,828 --> 00:05:21,908
Speaker 5: week on the show. And I was in a barbershop

121
00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:24,068
Speaker 5: when I got back from Arizona. You know, whenever you

122
00:05:24,068 --> 00:05:26,588
Speaker 5: go to the barbershop and you're having sports tall, everybody

123
00:05:26,588 --> 00:05:28,548
Speaker 5: gives you the real. So the barber there, Ali, and

124
00:05:28,668 --> 00:05:31,468
Speaker 5: this is Hackasack, New Jersey, huge Steelers fan. When you

125
00:05:31,508 --> 00:05:34,388
Speaker 5: walk in there, Steelers stuff all over the place. Russ

126
00:05:34,388 --> 00:05:36,228
Speaker 5: had just came to a visit. I go to him, like, Ali,

127
00:05:36,908 --> 00:05:38,868
Speaker 5: what do you feel about Russ? You liked Russ there?

128
00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:42,268
Speaker 5: His response was, anybody other than Kenny Pikett. This is

129
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:44,828
Speaker 5: a huge fan of the Steelers. And this is what's

130
00:05:44,868 --> 00:05:46,828
Speaker 5: being said within the barbershop. You know you're going to

131
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,548
Speaker 5: a black barbershop. It's gonna be real, Taugh. You need

132
00:05:48,588 --> 00:05:51,828
Speaker 5: to sit down there. Arguments. It's a debate show in itself.

133
00:05:51,948 --> 00:05:54,468
Speaker 5: And as you look at these two guys. For Russell Wilson, look,

134
00:05:54,508 --> 00:05:56,988
Speaker 5: it's an opportunity where all right, you leave Seattle and

135
00:05:57,028 --> 00:05:58,908
Speaker 5: we talked about it. This guy's the super Bowl, when

136
00:05:58,908 --> 00:06:01,348
Speaker 5: the quarterback Pro Bowls, all of those different things. He's

137
00:06:01,348 --> 00:06:03,628
Speaker 5: a failure in Denver. Now he should be re energized.

138
00:06:03,668 --> 00:06:06,108
Speaker 5: He's going into pit with a team that you're looking

139
00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:09,188
Speaker 5: at Najia Harris, Jalen Warren, a running game similar to

140
00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,388
Speaker 5: what he had in Seattle when he was a really

141
00:06:11,388 --> 00:06:13,988
Speaker 5: good quarterback, play action and throwing the ball down the field.

142
00:06:14,228 --> 00:06:16,988
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith the offensive coordinator, that's when he was at

143
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:20,028
Speaker 5: his best in Tennessee, calling plays and what he wants

144
00:06:20,068 --> 00:06:22,228
Speaker 5: to do as an offense. So I think for the

145
00:06:22,268 --> 00:06:24,708
Speaker 5: fit wise of just talking x's and o's and where

146
00:06:24,788 --> 00:06:27,388
Speaker 5: Russ fits in, I think it's a good spot. A

147
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:29,628
Speaker 5: deep threat in George picking somebody he can get the

148
00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:32,508
Speaker 5: ball to. Personality wise, we're gonna see how it all

149
00:06:32,508 --> 00:06:34,388
Speaker 5: fits in and what's all of those things there. But

150
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,868
Speaker 5: as a veteran player getting in there, can you pick it?

151
00:06:36,948 --> 00:06:39,028
Speaker 5: You can win the job. Go out there, compete every

152
00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:40,868
Speaker 5: single day and see who's going to be the guy

153
00:06:40,908 --> 00:06:41,708
Speaker 5: to lead his offense?

154
00:06:41,948 --> 00:06:43,388
Speaker 10: Why do you have to go to a barber Yeah?

155
00:06:44,668 --> 00:06:45,948
Speaker 10: Why do you have to go to a barbershop?

156
00:06:46,028 --> 00:06:48,908
Speaker 5: My eight year old sign I just left out.

157
00:06:49,788 --> 00:06:52,548
Speaker 1: I was like, like Jason going to a barbershop for

158
00:06:52,628 --> 00:06:56,548
Speaker 1: the beard Jason, I hear unbelievable?

159
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,468
Speaker 10: Is is that? Like?

160
00:06:59,068 --> 00:07:01,548
Speaker 1: Guy, is this a little surreal to you? Like we

161
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:04,188
Speaker 1: can get into statistics and mattress with the offense quarter?

162
00:07:04,228 --> 00:07:05,028
Speaker 2: What the hell is that?

163
00:07:05,668 --> 00:07:07,068
Speaker 10: Russell Wilson's on the Steelers?

164
00:07:07,508 --> 00:07:10,508
Speaker 1: What I'm not even gonna give you my reaction when

165
00:07:10,548 --> 00:07:12,788
Speaker 1: when the news came out. I'm just I'm just gonna

166
00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:15,588
Speaker 1: show you it, all right, So here's my reaction to

167
00:07:15,788 --> 00:07:16,268
Speaker 1: this news.

168
00:07:16,308 --> 00:07:18,708
Speaker 10: Peter, you just like announced announced the news. Okay, good,

169
00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:19,228
Speaker 10: all right?

170
00:07:19,428 --> 00:07:23,468
Speaker 8: Russell Wilson has agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

171
00:07:25,308 --> 00:07:27,108
Speaker 2: What what's going on?

172
00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:30,108
Speaker 1: Just say, Russell Wilson is on the Steelers, not like

173
00:07:30,308 --> 00:07:33,188
Speaker 1: some weird seventh round prospect that they found named Russell

174
00:07:33,188 --> 00:07:34,148
Speaker 1: Wilson with like one.

175
00:07:34,028 --> 00:07:36,828
Speaker 9: To ask Madden, you create your foster.

176
00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:38,988
Speaker 1: No, no, this is not ultimate team and this is

177
00:07:39,068 --> 00:07:43,388
Speaker 1: real NFL real, unbelievable, surreal, strange. Like, first of all,

178
00:07:43,508 --> 00:07:47,748
Speaker 1: the Steelers go out and make like a splashy quarterback signing.

179
00:07:47,788 --> 00:07:50,108
Speaker 10: What are we doing? That's not who they are, Peter.

180
00:07:49,988 --> 00:07:51,308
Speaker 5: That's not their team building.

181
00:07:51,588 --> 00:07:52,588
Speaker 10: That's not how they do this.

182
00:07:53,028 --> 00:07:55,228
Speaker 1: The Steelers going out and signing a really famous quarter

183
00:07:55,228 --> 00:07:56,268
Speaker 1: I don't care what that price is.

184
00:07:56,548 --> 00:07:59,068
Speaker 10: It's very different. It'd be like if the Cowboys lost

185
00:07:59,068 --> 00:08:00,988
Speaker 10: in the playoffs and Jerry Jones' is like, I'm cleaning house.

186
00:08:00,988 --> 00:08:02,908
Speaker 10: I won't accept this. That's not what they do as

187
00:08:02,948 --> 00:08:03,348
Speaker 10: a team.

188
00:08:03,788 --> 00:08:07,188
Speaker 1: I know it's I know it fits Jason, Russell Wilson

189
00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:09,268
Speaker 1: and George Pickens like they're gonna be best friends.

190
00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,468
Speaker 10: No, I don't know how it's gonna go. Now, here's

191
00:08:11,468 --> 00:08:11,828
Speaker 10: the deal.

192
00:08:12,148 --> 00:08:15,028
Speaker 1: It's really surreal to me because just Pittsburgh is so conservative.

193
00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:16,588
Speaker 1: They do their way and they make the playoffs. Every

194
00:08:16,908 --> 00:08:20,268
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson different kind of guy. However, I've been very

195
00:08:20,268 --> 00:08:21,428
Speaker 1: critical of Russell Wilson.

196
00:08:21,828 --> 00:08:22,308
Speaker 10: We know that.

197
00:08:22,508 --> 00:08:24,388
Speaker 1: I think there's nothing more pathetic in what we do

198
00:08:24,508 --> 00:08:26,108
Speaker 1: than people who just beat the crap out of the

199
00:08:26,108 --> 00:08:28,628
Speaker 1: same player over and over for profit, and it's gratuitous.

200
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:30,708
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way. I think this is very interesting.

201
00:08:30,788 --> 00:08:32,668
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting that Russell Wilson' showing up

202
00:08:32,668 --> 00:08:34,348
Speaker 1: with a fresh new start. I want to see how

203
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:36,628
Speaker 1: he's showing up because a lot of changes that should

204
00:08:36,628 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 1: show up in Denver.

205
00:08:37,588 --> 00:08:40,348
Speaker 10: We were here as the show. I remember him getting it.

206
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:42,668
Speaker 1: It was like the Pope was arriving and Bronco's players

207
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:44,268
Speaker 1: are taking selfies with Russell Wilson and.

208
00:08:44,268 --> 00:08:45,068
Speaker 10: Guys, let's be honest.

209
00:08:45,228 --> 00:08:48,548
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers sticks renegade Mike Tomlin forma doesn't exactly

210
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:51,708
Speaker 1: feel like private office, private parking space. And maybe none

211
00:08:51,708 --> 00:08:53,748
Speaker 1: of that's there, and maybe it's unfair to hold that

212
00:08:53,788 --> 00:08:56,948
Speaker 1: against him. Maybe he's had a huge helping of Humble

213
00:08:56,988 --> 00:08:59,548
Speaker 1: Pie and he's been brought down to earth and his

214
00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:02,148
Speaker 1: ego has been beaten up and all that. So it's

215
00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:05,268
Speaker 1: really strange. This is not your normal sense Baker resigning

216
00:09:05,348 --> 00:09:07,868
Speaker 1: with the box. This is not even if Cousins changes teams.

217
00:09:08,228 --> 00:09:10,508
Speaker 1: This is a seminal player of this generation being on

218
00:09:10,548 --> 00:09:13,508
Speaker 1: the seminal team of this league ever in a really

219
00:09:13,588 --> 00:09:15,468
Speaker 1: really strange heart events for both. I don't know how

220
00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:17,308
Speaker 1: Russ is gonna show up, don't how it's gonna work out.

221
00:09:17,468 --> 00:09:19,628
Speaker 1: I personally think it's his job. Like I don't think

222
00:09:19,668 --> 00:09:21,788
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett is gonna start Week one for the Steelers.

223
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:22,748
Speaker 10: I think it's already done.

224
00:09:22,868 --> 00:09:25,828
Speaker 1: But man, the personality and him his fit with Steeler

225
00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:29,148
Speaker 1: fans and Bradshaw and all that, it's it's it's really interesting.

226
00:09:29,148 --> 00:09:32,948
Speaker 8: I'm shot opening press conference shows a Steelers country let's forge,

227
00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:35,028
Speaker 8: Like my god.

228
00:09:35,068 --> 00:09:37,308
Speaker 9: It's a good question, though, Is there like something?

229
00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:39,068
Speaker 10: So he he tweeted.

230
00:09:39,468 --> 00:09:41,748
Speaker 1: He tweets the Sticks Renegade song, which is their song

231
00:09:41,868 --> 00:09:43,908
Speaker 1: last night with the fans, which.

232
00:09:43,748 --> 00:09:44,468
Speaker 10: Is like pretty cool.

233
00:09:44,788 --> 00:09:47,348
Speaker 1: But like, I can't imagine there's gonna be a catchphrase.

234
00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:48,548
Speaker 10: But I hope not.

235
00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:52,988
Speaker 5: Just right, this a Newark airport taking selfies, Like Russ,

236
00:09:52,988 --> 00:09:55,308
Speaker 5: maybe he's a little bit personality wise, all these everything,

237
00:09:55,388 --> 00:09:57,268
Speaker 5: He's in Newark airport taking selfie.

238
00:09:57,268 --> 00:10:01,508
Speaker 10: Now Laguardian New York, right, nor HiT's different.

239
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:04,868
Speaker 3: Pierre splash so in the area, just.

240
00:10:04,868 --> 00:10:06,988
Speaker 9: Out of the splash, You're good, Shamou didn't get me?

241
00:10:07,188 --> 00:10:09,588
Speaker 1: I was very surprised by the news. By the way,

242
00:10:09,588 --> 00:10:11,508
Speaker 1: I disagree with Shamy. I think it's unethical. So like,

243
00:10:11,548 --> 00:10:13,668
Speaker 1: I'm glad you last.

244
00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:16,868
Speaker 4: Week, Kyle, you were so you were so on how

245
00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:19,108
Speaker 4: this person the personality fit was not going to work

246
00:10:19,108 --> 00:10:20,148
Speaker 4: with Pittsburgh with whatever.

247
00:10:20,188 --> 00:10:22,228
Speaker 3: You were very surprised. You're like, absolutely not, that's not happening.

248
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:25,588
Speaker 4: But then Matthew Junam was sitting here and he said,

249
00:10:25,908 --> 00:10:28,948
Speaker 4: what we've learned about Russ in his Russ Heyday era

250
00:10:29,108 --> 00:10:31,108
Speaker 4: is that like on a great team with a good defense,

251
00:10:31,148 --> 00:10:31,828
Speaker 4: on a really good.

252
00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:32,588
Speaker 3: Run game, this works.

253
00:10:32,908 --> 00:10:34,948
Speaker 4: And when I listened to the two sides literally and

254
00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:37,508
Speaker 4: figuratively on both sides of my shoulder here on GMFP,

255
00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:39,868
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what I'm.

256
00:10:39,548 --> 00:10:39,948
Speaker 5: Going to go.

257
00:10:39,988 --> 00:10:41,508
Speaker 3: I'm going to side more on the football.

258
00:10:41,588 --> 00:10:41,988
Speaker 4: I think.

259
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,388
Speaker 3: I think Mike Tomlin runs a very specific ship.

260
00:10:44,468 --> 00:10:46,068
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say it's a tight ship, because

261
00:10:46,308 --> 00:10:49,428
Speaker 4: I think Tomlin lets guys be them, but within the

262
00:10:49,468 --> 00:10:52,268
Speaker 4: capacity of if you want to be a part of this,

263
00:10:52,468 --> 00:10:55,108
Speaker 4: if you want to roll with me, you are going

264
00:10:55,148 --> 00:10:57,308
Speaker 4: to follow the football style and I will let you

265
00:10:57,348 --> 00:10:58,148
Speaker 4: have your own style.

266
00:10:58,428 --> 00:10:59,588
Speaker 3: And George Pickens, I think.

267
00:10:59,508 --> 00:11:01,268
Speaker 4: Is a great example of that over the last couple

268
00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:04,268
Speaker 4: of years. George Pickens does what George Pickens wants to do, frankly,

269
00:11:04,428 --> 00:11:07,028
Speaker 4: and and Tomlin lets him push it there and then

270
00:11:07,068 --> 00:11:09,868
Speaker 4: he comes back. We see it time and tank a practice,

271
00:11:09,868 --> 00:11:12,428
Speaker 4: a training camp during the game, so Ross might be

272
00:11:12,468 --> 00:11:13,948
Speaker 4: walking in there and say, I want to be a

273
00:11:14,148 --> 00:11:17,068
Speaker 4: part of a very specific team, And frankly, I'm happy

274
00:11:17,068 --> 00:11:19,108
Speaker 4: that Russell Wilson is on a team where he doesn't

275
00:11:19,148 --> 00:11:21,508
Speaker 4: have to be the biggest personality and he doesn't have

276
00:11:21,668 --> 00:11:24,188
Speaker 4: to be the guy because their run game is electric

277
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:26,268
Speaker 4: and their defense is great, and it seems like such

278
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:26,708
Speaker 4: a good fit.

279
00:11:26,948 --> 00:11:29,788
Speaker 5: And to your point, I mean Russell's in Seattle, Marshaun Lynch,

280
00:11:30,188 --> 00:11:32,748
Speaker 5: Richard Sherman or Thomas Like. It was a ton of

281
00:11:32,748 --> 00:11:35,108
Speaker 5: personalities in that locker room too, and they made it work.

282
00:11:35,148 --> 00:11:36,988
Speaker 5: And I know he was younger, you're just coming into

283
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:39,108
Speaker 5: your career. Now he's on the other side of being

284
00:11:39,228 --> 00:11:42,148
Speaker 5: kind of that superstar throughout his career, but he's been

285
00:11:42,148 --> 00:11:44,148
Speaker 5: able to make it work with different personality. To your

286
00:11:44,148 --> 00:11:46,388
Speaker 5: point with Mike Tomlin, I mean you're talking about Antonio Brown,

287
00:11:46,468 --> 00:11:48,628
Speaker 5: Le'Veon Bell. There was so many different guys in that

288
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:50,588
Speaker 5: locker room and he kept it all together. So I

289
00:11:50,628 --> 00:11:53,188
Speaker 5: do think Tomlin being there as a head guy, he's

290
00:11:53,228 --> 00:11:54,028
Speaker 5: going to keep the ship.

291
00:11:54,188 --> 00:11:54,308
Speaker 7: Now.

292
00:11:54,308 --> 00:11:56,028
Speaker 5: It was just a matter of how well Russ plays

293
00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:56,508
Speaker 5: on the field.

294
00:11:56,508 --> 00:11:59,068
Speaker 1: To me, I wonder like if the money was different,

295
00:11:59,388 --> 00:12:00,468
Speaker 1: like how much would they want?

296
00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:01,708
Speaker 10: How much is a point?

297
00:12:02,668 --> 00:12:04,388
Speaker 9: And I also does he have any other choice?

298
00:12:04,748 --> 00:12:06,348
Speaker 8: Like was this Like he looked at his agent and

299
00:12:06,388 --> 00:12:10,588
Speaker 8: they were like, all right, look, Fregency is starting on Monday,

300
00:12:10,668 --> 00:12:12,468
Speaker 8: Like this is an offer, Like let's just let's let

301
00:12:12,548 --> 00:12:13,108
Speaker 8: get in from it.

302
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:14,308
Speaker 10: Like it's a huge win for him.

303
00:12:14,308 --> 00:12:16,268
Speaker 9: It's he's going to start for the start for the

304
00:12:16,308 --> 00:12:17,028
Speaker 9: fitfordh Steelers.

305
00:12:17,068 --> 00:12:17,228
Speaker 7: Yeah.

306
00:12:17,268 --> 00:12:18,948
Speaker 1: I mean we thought, like you may I have another job.

307
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:20,468
Speaker 1: There's people saying he's done in football.

308
00:12:21,348 --> 00:12:22,068
Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers.

309
00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:24,588
Speaker 1: No, I think he's starting for like the great ever

310
00:12:24,628 --> 00:12:25,308
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing.

311
00:12:25,428 --> 00:12:26,908
Speaker 4: Or he could have waited and waited, wait, have been

312
00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:28,948
Speaker 4: like a training camp guy because someone went down and

313
00:12:28,988 --> 00:12:30,788
Speaker 4: then you're setting himself up because he's behind the eight

314
00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:31,548
Speaker 4: ball at that point.

315
00:12:31,628 --> 00:12:33,588
Speaker 3: So this is kind of a win good win.

316
00:12:33,908 --> 00:12:37,228
Speaker 4: Personality and a big arm that's Baker Mayfield. Four teams

317
00:12:37,268 --> 00:12:39,908
Speaker 4: in a handful of months for Mayfield, and it finally

318
00:12:39,948 --> 00:12:42,108
Speaker 4: clicked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year in the

319
00:12:42,188 --> 00:12:45,268
Speaker 4: bet on yourself world. Now it's reported he's going to

320
00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:47,508
Speaker 4: sign a three year deal worth around one hundred million

321
00:12:47,508 --> 00:12:49,508
Speaker 4: dollars at some point today with the Buccaneers.

322
00:12:49,708 --> 00:12:51,948
Speaker 3: Our reaction Jason to Baker in.

323
00:12:51,948 --> 00:12:54,428
Speaker 5: The Bucks we all kind of saw Comingara. I was saying,

324
00:12:54,668 --> 00:12:56,228
Speaker 5: he's going to go back to the Bucks and Shrikes.

325
00:12:56,228 --> 00:12:58,908
Speaker 5: I remember you last week of like it may have him,

326
00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:00,788
Speaker 5: but don't be so short. And I look at this

327
00:13:00,828 --> 00:13:02,788
Speaker 5: as kind of a win win Baker. You look at

328
00:13:02,788 --> 00:13:04,948
Speaker 5: where he was a few years ago, where this guy

329
00:13:04,988 --> 00:13:07,348
Speaker 5: comes in as the first overall pick of the Cleveland Browns,

330
00:13:07,388 --> 00:13:09,748
Speaker 5: wins a playoff game for the Browns. Everything looks to

331
00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:11,948
Speaker 5: be surging. Next thing you know, he's traded. Then he's

332
00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:14,188
Speaker 5: cut from the Panthers and he ends up on this

333
00:13:14,268 --> 00:13:16,268
Speaker 5: Buccaneers team and he leads them to the playoffs. They

334
00:13:16,268 --> 00:13:19,068
Speaker 5: win a playoff game at home, and I think this

335
00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:21,028
Speaker 5: is a win win in the offseason where Jason Light

336
00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:23,468
Speaker 5: and the ten Bay Buccaneers is their GM. They bring

337
00:13:23,508 --> 00:13:26,508
Speaker 5: Baker back. But it wasn't at the forty plus million

338
00:13:26,508 --> 00:13:28,788
Speaker 5: of years we've seen some of the other quarterbacks in

339
00:13:29,028 --> 00:13:30,948
Speaker 5: Baker had a terrific year, but I think it was

340
00:13:30,988 --> 00:13:33,148
Speaker 5: important for them. They got Mike Evans back, just still

341
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,388
Speaker 5: Levonte David. There's other guys out there that they want

342
00:13:35,428 --> 00:13:37,828
Speaker 5: to continue to have to build this team. So getting

343
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:40,748
Speaker 5: Baker back at that deal goes to be a huge part.

344
00:13:40,948 --> 00:13:43,508
Speaker 5: Canalys is gone, he left with the Panthers, who Baker's

345
00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:45,228
Speaker 5: come over had a really terrific year. I think it's

346
00:13:45,228 --> 00:13:47,628
Speaker 5: going to lot to be seen of what next year brings.

347
00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:50,148
Speaker 5: But for Baker Mayfield, you get there and he signs

348
00:13:50,348 --> 00:13:53,028
Speaker 5: a small deal to go there and compete with Kyle

349
00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,668
Speaker 5: Trask in training camp. We were talking about that another

350
00:13:55,708 --> 00:13:58,548
Speaker 5: training camp battle for Baker Mayfield and Harry are less

351
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:00,388
Speaker 5: than a year after that where he's signed in a

352
00:14:00,468 --> 00:14:02,788
Speaker 5: huge deal to be a franchise quarterback for the Buccaneers.

353
00:14:02,908 --> 00:14:05,148
Speaker 5: Kudos to him first overall pick, but it wasn't an

354
00:14:05,188 --> 00:14:06,908
Speaker 5: easy journey and look at where he's got.

355
00:14:07,028 --> 00:14:08,308
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is a cool story.

356
00:14:08,388 --> 00:14:10,708
Speaker 8: I think if you look back to even when he

357
00:14:10,868 --> 00:14:13,508
Speaker 8: was cut by the Panthers and he's sitting there on

358
00:14:13,508 --> 00:14:15,548
Speaker 8: the and the Rams are like all right off the

359
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:20,148
Speaker 8: waiver wire, who will sign Baker Mayfield waiver wire, that's nothing.

360
00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,908
Speaker 8: And then he goes to free agency and signs a

361
00:14:22,988 --> 00:14:25,268
Speaker 8: four million dollar deal. And now he's signing one hundred

362
00:14:25,308 --> 00:14:27,268
Speaker 8: million dollar deal in a matter of twelve months.

363
00:14:27,268 --> 00:14:29,348
Speaker 9: How cool is that. I love the fact this is

364
00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:31,228
Speaker 9: happening for Baker. The money seems right.

365
00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:32,828
Speaker 8: I don't think anyone would say, well, if you look

366
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:35,468
Speaker 8: at the what starting quarterbacks are making, it's not like

367
00:14:35,548 --> 00:14:37,468
Speaker 8: they did pay him fifty million or sixty million.

368
00:14:37,468 --> 00:14:39,388
Speaker 9: He's gonna get one hundred million over three years, which

369
00:14:39,868 --> 00:14:40,428
Speaker 9: in every.

370
00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:42,188
Speaker 8: Day parlance, you're like, well, that's a ton of money.

371
00:14:42,228 --> 00:14:44,548
Speaker 8: It is, but if you're a starting quarterback, it's middle

372
00:14:44,588 --> 00:14:46,428
Speaker 8: of the pack. It's close to the higher end. But

373
00:14:46,468 --> 00:14:48,068
Speaker 8: it's not like it's blowing this out of the water.

374
00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:50,348
Speaker 8: And they said in the market, I love this for

375
00:14:50,388 --> 00:14:52,948
Speaker 8: Baker Bayfield. I also think it's pretty cool what Tampa

376
00:14:52,948 --> 00:14:55,348
Speaker 8: has done this offseason before we can get to free agency.

377
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:59,708
Speaker 8: Mike Evans Baker Mayfield, they're two biggest priorities, and both

378
00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:01,348
Speaker 8: of them got to hit free agency and be able

379
00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:04,068
Speaker 8: to entertain offers and talk with other teams, and Tampa

380
00:15:04,068 --> 00:15:05,748
Speaker 8: went out way to say we've got all this new

381
00:15:05,748 --> 00:15:06,948
Speaker 8: money from the salary cap.

382
00:15:06,988 --> 00:15:09,028
Speaker 9: Again, I'll say it all day and all week.

383
00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:12,468
Speaker 8: Teams had certain budget the salary cap money came in

384
00:15:12,788 --> 00:15:15,428
Speaker 8: and every single team reassessed what they could do with

385
00:15:15,468 --> 00:15:18,188
Speaker 8: their own talent because it was way higher than even

386
00:15:18,268 --> 00:15:20,668
Speaker 8: they expected. The NFL made so much money this year

387
00:15:20,828 --> 00:15:23,428
Speaker 8: and the players get so much more that the salary

388
00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,748
Speaker 8: cap is now inflated and ballooned that this wasn't a

389
00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:29,508
Speaker 8: possibility really to get Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield done

390
00:15:29,548 --> 00:15:32,388
Speaker 8: before the deadline. But we have all this money. We

391
00:15:32,428 --> 00:15:35,108
Speaker 8: can do that, and we could still get Antoine Winfield

392
00:15:35,148 --> 00:15:36,908
Speaker 8: done if we want to get him a deal. And

393
00:15:36,948 --> 00:15:39,108
Speaker 8: I know he's on the franchise tag right now. Great

394
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,148
Speaker 8: job by Tampa and great job by Baker. I think

395
00:15:41,188 --> 00:15:42,788
Speaker 8: he's found a home and he kind of fits that

396
00:15:42,868 --> 00:15:43,548
Speaker 8: market as well.

397
00:15:44,308 --> 00:15:48,908
Speaker 1: Is our guy Jason light having a week? Why it

398
00:15:48,908 --> 00:15:51,228
Speaker 1: should be happy? Yes, the job's done. I can't get

399
00:15:51,268 --> 00:15:53,268
Speaker 1: over the caroenline of Panthers part of this. It's so

400
00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:57,028
Speaker 1: strange that Baker Mayfield twenty seconds ago was sitting there

401
00:15:57,188 --> 00:15:59,668
Speaker 1: on the Panthers and like, you know, we do a

402
00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:02,308
Speaker 1: thing here, not New Jersey where we have some fun

403
00:16:02,348 --> 00:16:04,908
Speaker 1: at the expense of random old jerseys pasth and like,

404
00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:06,828
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, that is an all time not

405
00:16:06,908 --> 00:16:09,668
Speaker 1: New Jersey. If you have a Baker Mayfield Panthers jersey, please.

406
00:16:09,428 --> 00:16:10,588
Speaker 10: Tweet it to us. We'll use it.

407
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,268
Speaker 1: But the point was that I remember when he was

408
00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:14,108
Speaker 1: on the Panthers and then we eventually get sat down.

409
00:16:14,188 --> 00:16:17,028
Speaker 1: I remember seeing tweets and hearing radio segments about how

410
00:16:17,068 --> 00:16:19,948
Speaker 1: would Baker Mayfield fit in a booth, a broadcast booth.

411
00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:22,468
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, college football, that's natural. He should be

412
00:16:22,508 --> 00:16:24,508
Speaker 1: working for Fox and New College. And it's like, yeah,

413
00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:26,868
Speaker 1: maybe that's right. It's like we joke Jason, like some

414
00:16:26,908 --> 00:16:29,188
Speaker 1: of these guys sometimes you like, get that podcast equipment

415
00:16:29,228 --> 00:16:31,508
Speaker 1: ready now. He just signed a hundred million dollar contract

416
00:16:31,548 --> 00:16:33,508
Speaker 1: and just want a playoff game. It's unbelievable. It's so

417
00:16:33,668 --> 00:16:36,188
Speaker 1: Baker it hurts, and it's kind of like he's saying,

418
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:38,308
Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting rid of me that easily.

419
00:16:38,348 --> 00:16:38,628
Speaker 10: I got.

420
00:16:38,708 --> 00:16:41,228
Speaker 1: I still got business in this league long long time.

421
00:16:41,588 --> 00:16:43,468
Speaker 1: On a personal note, he's one of my favorite players

422
00:16:43,468 --> 00:16:43,828
Speaker 1: in the league.

423
00:16:43,868 --> 00:16:46,308
Speaker 10: I love it. I've loved it since he was coming out.

424
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:48,588
Speaker 1: I think that's incredible that he's still here he's already

425
00:16:48,588 --> 00:16:51,428
Speaker 1: had this amazing football life and now look now he's

426
00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:53,188
Speaker 1: about it, like, let's get the Bucks to a title game.

427
00:16:53,268 --> 00:16:55,388
Speaker 1: Screw it, let's go, let's go back to a super Bowl.

428
00:16:55,708 --> 00:16:59,068
Speaker 1: I cannot believe how closely he brushed with football death

429
00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:02,588
Speaker 1: in terms of just being done. And like, I wouldn't

430
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:03,988
Speaker 1: be surprised if he was taking meetings with me. I

431
00:17:03,988 --> 00:17:06,628
Speaker 1: have no idea, But here he is not only like, yeah,

432
00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:09,308
Speaker 1: he found a backup job, you know, in Denver or something.

433
00:17:09,548 --> 00:17:12,148
Speaker 1: He's the man. He's the franchise quarterback for a long

434
00:17:12,228 --> 00:17:15,428
Speaker 1: long time. I'm impressed. I'm proud of him, and like

435
00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:17,708
Speaker 1: I will say this, the Baker Mayfield Ride is a

436
00:17:17,708 --> 00:17:19,468
Speaker 1: lot like this, and I have to say it as

437
00:17:19,468 --> 00:17:21,228
Speaker 1: a huge fan. They just sign up for a bunch

438
00:17:21,268 --> 00:17:22,468
Speaker 1: of money and we're just looking at this as a

439
00:17:22,468 --> 00:17:25,068
Speaker 1: big victory. The one thing he has not done is

440
00:17:25,108 --> 00:17:28,588
Speaker 1: been like strung a few good years together, healthy, productive.

441
00:17:28,788 --> 00:17:30,708
Speaker 1: So if you're a Bucks fan, it's a little bit like,

442
00:17:30,748 --> 00:17:32,668
Speaker 1: all right, we got a great year last year, are

443
00:17:32,708 --> 00:17:33,228
Speaker 1: we now?

444
00:17:34,068 --> 00:17:34,548
Speaker 10: I hope not.

445
00:17:34,868 --> 00:17:36,988
Speaker 1: But I can't just sit here and throw a parade

446
00:17:37,028 --> 00:17:38,228
Speaker 1: being like they're going to the super Bowl.

447
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:40,028
Speaker 10: There might be a little bit of an up and down.

448
00:17:40,068 --> 00:17:41,108
Speaker 10: That's it's what he's shown.

449
00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:44,948
Speaker 4: There's one word that we see sometimes applied to players

450
00:17:45,108 --> 00:17:46,188
Speaker 4: and their path.

451
00:17:45,908 --> 00:17:47,748
Speaker 3: In the NFL that it makes me remid a little

452
00:17:47,748 --> 00:17:48,068
Speaker 3: bit out of it.

453
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,108
Speaker 4: But this one, when you see the word saga, that

454
00:17:50,228 --> 00:17:52,868
Speaker 4: fits Baker Mayfield because there are headlines from when he

455
00:17:52,908 --> 00:17:55,508
Speaker 4: got traded away from Cleveland, Like the saga ends with

456
00:17:55,548 --> 00:17:58,748
Speaker 4: the Browns quarterback situation, and then the saga continues a

457
00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:03,108
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield because personality wise and really growth and maturity,

458
00:18:03,628 --> 00:18:06,028
Speaker 4: you know, both on the field, Baker may up kind

459
00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:09,468
Speaker 4: of an electrify and polarizing personality. You either kind of

460
00:18:09,468 --> 00:18:11,988
Speaker 4: love him or you're annoyed by him. But I also

461
00:18:11,988 --> 00:18:14,028
Speaker 4: think he's grown up in his time in the NFL.

462
00:18:14,108 --> 00:18:16,388
Speaker 4: And people are starting to whether it is the matchup

463
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:19,188
Speaker 4: with Todd Poles personality wise, or the Buccaneers or the

464
00:18:19,188 --> 00:18:21,228
Speaker 4: fact that it just fits Tampa Bay and Mike Emmons.

465
00:18:21,748 --> 00:18:24,268
Speaker 4: But I like this version of Baker Mayfield, both what

466
00:18:24,268 --> 00:18:26,108
Speaker 4: we're seeing on the field, how it works within this

467
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:28,748
Speaker 4: locker room and his style of play within this offense.

468
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:30,868
Speaker 4: The Canalis thing, I think is very real with the

469
00:18:31,148 --> 00:18:32,948
Speaker 4: change of playmaking and play calling.

470
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:34,708
Speaker 3: I also think perhaps Jason Light.

471
00:18:34,628 --> 00:18:36,588
Speaker 4: Looks at this division and says, we have a window

472
00:18:36,628 --> 00:18:38,668
Speaker 4: here where everyone else can't quite figure out what's going

473
00:18:38,708 --> 00:18:40,988
Speaker 4: on with their quarterback or what the trajectory is that

474
00:18:41,068 --> 00:18:42,748
Speaker 4: maybe the Buccaneers can jump on something.

475
00:18:42,948 --> 00:18:45,148
Speaker 8: And the whole chip on the shoulder thing with Baker,

476
00:18:45,228 --> 00:18:48,108
Speaker 8: like I know, these negotiations were not smooth sailing, like

477
00:18:48,108 --> 00:18:49,548
Speaker 8: Baker was going to test the market.

478
00:18:49,548 --> 00:18:50,508
Speaker 9: They had to step up there offer.

479
00:18:50,548 --> 00:18:52,348
Speaker 8: He wasn't just coming back at a hometown discount, like

480
00:18:52,388 --> 00:18:55,468
Speaker 8: he still was in that edge Like no, I'm he

481
00:18:55,548 --> 00:18:56,948
Speaker 8: got what he wanted and he got what he deserved.

482
00:18:56,988 --> 00:18:59,628
Speaker 8: One quick thing about that Panthers team, they had Baker

483
00:18:59,668 --> 00:19:02,548
Speaker 8: Mayfield at quarterback and Christian McCaffrey and at running back

484
00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:05,628
Speaker 8: and Dj Moore at wideers two years ago.

485
00:19:05,908 --> 00:19:07,788
Speaker 10: Matt Ruhle was the head correct.

486
00:19:07,868 --> 00:19:08,268
Speaker 7: Wow.

487
00:19:08,588 --> 00:19:11,028
Speaker 1: I also think that polarizing thing with Baker. I think

488
00:19:11,028 --> 00:19:14,148
Speaker 1: he's gotten past that, Like, is he still a polarizing personality?

489
00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:14,588
Speaker 10: I don't know.

490
00:19:14,628 --> 00:19:16,748
Speaker 1: There was a time he's in Cleveland and he's openly

491
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:19,908
Speaker 1: feuding with Odell Beckham's dad online, and there was a

492
00:19:20,188 --> 00:19:22,108
Speaker 1: Now it's like it seems to fit in Tampa. It

493
00:19:22,108 --> 00:19:24,268
Speaker 1: seems to get along well. Like I saw him at

494
00:19:24,268 --> 00:19:25,908
Speaker 1: the Pro Bows, one of the most popular guys there.

495
00:19:25,908 --> 00:19:28,028
Speaker 9: I don't know, did he like where was he wearing?

496
00:19:28,068 --> 00:19:31,308
Speaker 8: Mocked Daniel Jones' contractor, He rolled his eyes at Daniel Jones.

497
00:19:31,308 --> 00:19:33,628
Speaker 8: A company going in Cleveland. Somebody that Daniel Jones. We

498
00:19:33,668 --> 00:19:36,548
Speaker 8: should thank Daniel Jones up and down because Daniel Jones.

499
00:19:36,388 --> 00:19:37,788
Speaker 9: Set that number. And he's like, I'm not taking a

500
00:19:37,788 --> 00:19:39,068
Speaker 9: dollar less than Daniel Jones.

501
00:19:39,108 --> 00:19:39,708
Speaker 5: So there you go.

502
00:19:40,108 --> 00:19:40,788
Speaker 9: It's Baker.

503
00:19:40,828 --> 00:19:41,268
Speaker 5: It all works.

504
00:19:41,308 --> 00:19:42,788
Speaker 10: Danie Jones might to play for somebody.

505
00:19:43,748 --> 00:19:45,548
Speaker 4: I think I remember seeing He's becoming a first time

506
00:19:45,628 --> 00:19:46,748
Speaker 4: dad this offseason too.

507
00:19:46,828 --> 00:19:49,108
Speaker 3: So a lot of things happening in the in the bay.

508
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:52,228
Speaker 4: The old household congrats coming up. The mac Jones era

509
00:19:52,628 --> 00:19:56,108
Speaker 4: is no longer in New England. What does the future

510
00:19:56,148 --> 00:19:59,828
Speaker 4: hold for him in Jacksonville?

511
00:19:59,868 --> 00:20:00,548
Speaker 11: Come on.

512
00:20:11,908 --> 00:20:13,428

Speaker 10: We'll selve it back here on Good Morning Football.

514

Speaker 12: and one free agency of twenty twenty four is now

516
00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:25,868
Speaker 12: op the list as Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is

517
00:20:25,988 --> 00:20:30,028
Speaker 12: staying with these Super Bowl champions. NFL Networking sider Ian

518
00:20:30,188 --> 00:20:32,908
Speaker 12: Rapport is reporting Jones and the Chiefs agreeing to a

519
00:20:33,068 --> 00:20:35,748
Speaker 12: five year deal worth one hundred and fifty eight points

520
00:20:35,788 --> 00:20:39,748
Speaker 12: seventy five million dollars, including one hundred and one million guaranteed,

521
00:20:40,068 --> 00:20:43,468
Speaker 12: now the deal making Jones the NFL's highest paid defensive

522
00:20:43,468 --> 00:20:47,268
Speaker 12: tackle at nearly thirty two million dollars a year, and

523
00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:51,868
Speaker 12: also reporting Colts linebackers Sire Franklin staying in India as

524
00:20:51,908 --> 00:20:53,988
Speaker 12: he agrees to terms on a three year, thirty one

525
00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:55,748
Speaker 12: point two to six million dollars deal.

526
00:20:55,948 --> 00:20:57,028
Speaker 9: Franklin has spent.

527
00:20:56,868 --> 00:20:59,668
Speaker 13: His entire six year career with the Colts, leading the

528
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:02,508
Speaker 13: team with a career high one hundred and seventy nine tackles.

529
00:21:02,788 --> 00:21:07,308
Speaker 13: This past season, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox announcing his retirement

530
00:21:07,348 --> 00:21:10,428
Speaker 13: on social media after twelve seasons in the NFL, all

531
00:21:10,468 --> 00:21:13,988
Speaker 13: of them spent in Philadelphia. Cox was the twelfth overall

532
00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:16,948
Speaker 13: pick in the twenty twelve NFL Draft that was named

533
00:21:17,148 --> 00:21:21,788
Speaker 13: to the FNLS two thousand, or NFL's rather ten All

534
00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:27,028
Speaker 13: Decades Team. So two Eagles legends deciding to hang them

535
00:21:27,108 --> 00:21:30,428
Speaker 13: up as Cox joins Jason kelson retirement this offseason, but

536
00:21:30,708 --> 00:21:33,548
Speaker 13: they did re sign defensive end Brandon Graham to a

537
00:21:33,548 --> 00:21:36,188
Speaker 13: one year deal, so he'll be back for a fifteenth

538
00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:40,428
Speaker 13: and likely final season with Philadelphia. But some legendary guys

539
00:21:40,508 --> 00:21:44,548
Speaker 13: there as legendary as Ryan Gosling's just can performance at

540
00:21:44,588 --> 00:21:45,708
Speaker 13: the Oscars last night.

541
00:21:46,788 --> 00:21:49,748
Speaker 1: If nobody saw it, when you get nominated for Best

542
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:52,348
Speaker 1: amazing because you perform it no matter what. And there

543
00:21:52,388 --> 00:21:54,268
Speaker 1: was this thing about maybe Gosling's not gonna do it,

544
00:21:54,268 --> 00:21:55,588
Speaker 1: he's sometimes too cool or whatever.

545
00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:57,348
Speaker 10: He got up there, he fully committed.

546
00:21:57,388 --> 00:21:58,868
Speaker 1: He sang I'm just Kenny still in the middle of

547
00:21:58,908 --> 00:22:02,068
Speaker 1: the song Slash from Guns N' Roses up there playing guitars.

548
00:22:02,148 --> 00:22:05,508
Speaker 10: It was really genuinely cool. Archy comment. I loved it

549
00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:06,468
Speaker 10: was amazing. Thank you Will.

550
00:22:06,588 --> 00:22:07,828
Speaker 3: It was great, Will, Thank you.

551
00:22:08,308 --> 00:22:11,388
Speaker 4: That was legendary performance by Gostling last night for Cox,

552
00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:14,788
Speaker 4: legendary as well. A dozen seasons clear in Philadelphia, seventy

553
00:22:14,908 --> 00:22:16,388
Speaker 4: sacks ranks fifth most.

554
00:22:16,148 --> 00:22:18,108
Speaker 3: And Eagles history. You guys don't want to talk about

555
00:22:18,148 --> 00:22:20,108
Speaker 3: Ryan goslingsad.

556
00:22:20,748 --> 00:22:21,268
Speaker 10: No reference.

557
00:22:21,268 --> 00:22:24,028
Speaker 3: Peter your thoughts on Fletcher's retirement.

558
00:22:24,108 --> 00:22:27,588
Speaker 9: It wasn't legendary the performance it was. It's over. It's

559
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:28,788
Speaker 9: no one's talking about it.

560
00:22:28,908 --> 00:22:29,468
Speaker 10: I think they will.

561
00:22:29,508 --> 00:22:29,988
Speaker 5: I think it was.

562
00:22:31,548 --> 00:22:34,188
Speaker 10: Legency Johnson and naked I did that was cool too.

563
00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:35,628
Speaker 10: The oscars a back.

564
00:22:35,468 --> 00:22:38,468
Speaker 8: Beater just comes out and he says costumes and everyone.

565
00:22:38,548 --> 00:22:41,508
Speaker 9: Last, I liked it really good. Fletcher Cox awesome. What

566
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:43,788
Speaker 9: a weird transition is it?

567
00:22:43,908 --> 00:22:48,908
Speaker 8: Fletcher Cox and uh, Jason Kell retire. I feel like

568
00:22:48,948 --> 00:22:52,228
Speaker 8: both those guys were a generation of Eagles, and yet

569
00:22:52,428 --> 00:22:54,908
Speaker 8: they did bring back Brandon Graham for another go at

570
00:22:54,948 --> 00:22:56,708
Speaker 8: it and Lane Johnson still there. So it's not like

571
00:22:56,748 --> 00:22:59,388
Speaker 8: the core four is being torn apart just yet. But

572
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:01,868
Speaker 8: the first two we gave a lot of love to

573
00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:05,308
Speaker 8: Jason Kelcey. We spent the show Jason Ken just because

574
00:23:05,308 --> 00:23:07,508
Speaker 8: it's free agent frenzy. We didn't want to short change

575
00:23:07,508 --> 00:23:10,228
Speaker 8: Fletcher Cox, one of the great Eagles of all time,

576
00:23:10,748 --> 00:23:13,028
Speaker 8: bet on himself on a contract a couple of times

577
00:23:13,268 --> 00:23:15,548
Speaker 8: and came through the end super Bowl champion and also

578
00:23:15,628 --> 00:23:17,508
Speaker 8: does an all around like awesome ambassador for FI.

579
00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:20,628
Speaker 1: You want to see an old clip, first first week

580
00:23:20,948 --> 00:23:24,348
Speaker 1: of Good Morning. For week sixteen, I went to Philadelphia

581
00:23:24,348 --> 00:23:25,948
Speaker 1: for the show. I'm sitting out in front of the

582
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,948
Speaker 1: Novacare Center. Here's a baby face me and it's not

583
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:30,148
Speaker 1: about me. It's about Fletcher Cox. Who came out and

584
00:23:30,188 --> 00:23:31,228
Speaker 1: was like, what is this show?

585
00:23:31,268 --> 00:23:31,748
Speaker 5: Who are you?

586
00:23:32,108 --> 00:23:36,228
Speaker 1: And couldn't have been cooler? This is summer twenty sixteen. Fun,

587
00:23:37,388 --> 00:23:39,068
Speaker 1: I've been in this league a few years now. You're

588
00:23:39,228 --> 00:23:41,468
Speaker 1: you're starting to get ready for the opener. You think, Okay,

589
00:23:41,508 --> 00:23:43,588
Speaker 1: we got Sam Bradford, he's our guy. We're gonna go

590
00:23:43,668 --> 00:23:45,668
Speaker 1: to the game with him, and out of nowhere you

591
00:23:45,708 --> 00:23:47,548
Speaker 1: find out that he's gone. You got a rookie as

592
00:23:47,588 --> 00:23:49,068
Speaker 1: the starter. What was that like for you?

593
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:50,348
Speaker 10: I mean I had just start.

594
00:23:50,548 --> 00:23:52,868
Speaker 11: I I'm my first game. I didn't start maybe like

595
00:23:52,908 --> 00:23:55,188
Speaker 11: the fourth game I started, But then you know, I

596
00:23:55,188 --> 00:23:58,308
Speaker 11: still prepared the same when I was a backup, still

597
00:23:58,348 --> 00:23:58,988
Speaker 11: prepared the same.

598
00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:01,948
Speaker 10: But that first start is you know, just a lot.

599
00:24:01,788 --> 00:24:03,628
Speaker 11: Going on through your head. You know you're trying to

600
00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:05,588
Speaker 11: be perfect, but I don't think anybody can be perfect.

601
00:24:05,708 --> 00:24:07,708
Speaker 11: I think you just have to relax and just let

602
00:24:07,748 --> 00:24:09,828
Speaker 11: things happen, you know, correct the mistakes. They should go

603
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:11,068
Speaker 11: and take it one play at a time.

604
00:24:11,668 --> 00:24:13,108
Speaker 10: So that was kickoff twenty sixteen.

605
00:24:13,148 --> 00:24:14,468
Speaker 1: You know what was a big thing at the time,

606
00:24:14,788 --> 00:24:17,788
Speaker 1: I asked Fletcher, A lot like your old college teammates

607
00:24:17,788 --> 00:24:21,188
Speaker 1: blowing up right now, Dak Prescott for the Cowboys. This rookie,

608
00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:23,708
Speaker 1: he looks really good. And then tell us about this

609
00:24:23,908 --> 00:24:26,588
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott looks like he's gonna take Romo's job. And

610
00:24:26,668 --> 00:24:28,388
Speaker 1: that's how long we've come. That was eight years ago.

611
00:24:28,388 --> 00:24:31,268
Speaker 1: But more about Fletcher Cock's amazing career. Like Peter just said,

612
00:24:31,348 --> 00:24:32,828
Speaker 1: always really cool to the show.

613
00:24:33,068 --> 00:24:34,908
Speaker 5: So cool when you're a first round draft pick in

614
00:24:34,988 --> 00:24:36,628
Speaker 5: a team story, they put your jersey out there and

615
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:38,428
Speaker 5: as a fan they can go buy your jersey. Here's

616
00:24:38,468 --> 00:24:40,108
Speaker 5: this new guy that's coming to our team's going to

617
00:24:40,148 --> 00:24:42,108
Speaker 5: help change it, and you think about it. For that fan,

618
00:24:42,188 --> 00:24:44,948
Speaker 5: I bought Fletcher cox jersey as rookie year. Now all

619
00:24:44,988 --> 00:24:47,108
Speaker 5: the numbers are peeling off because you've been able to

620
00:24:47,228 --> 00:24:49,188
Speaker 5: wash it for so long and continue to wear it

621
00:24:49,228 --> 00:24:51,628
Speaker 5: to game after game, year after year. It does such

622
00:24:51,668 --> 00:24:54,388
Speaker 5: a cool settiment to a player him Jason Kelsey, those

623
00:24:54,428 --> 00:24:56,748
Speaker 5: guys have been on one team to have your jersey

624
00:24:56,828 --> 00:24:59,428
Speaker 5: just continue to be worn year after year after year.

625
00:25:00,188 --> 00:25:02,428
Speaker 4: In the name of trying to pin down what a

626
00:25:02,508 --> 00:25:05,108
Speaker 4: running back can do for you. This is lists straight

627
00:25:05,148 --> 00:25:08,388
Speaker 4: here in the twenty twenty four free agents available coming

628
00:25:08,388 --> 00:25:11,188
Speaker 4: out of the backfield of Barkley Henry Jacobs. This could

629
00:25:11,188 --> 00:25:12,548
Speaker 4: be one of the best, if not the best free

630
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:16,348
Speaker 4: agent running back classes ever available for teams who need

631
00:25:16,588 --> 00:25:19,748
Speaker 4: to bolster their backfield. So many eyes are on Saquon,

632
00:25:19,828 --> 00:25:21,508
Speaker 4: A lot of eyes are on Derrick Henry, and so

633
00:25:21,548 --> 00:25:24,668
Speaker 4: we ask of all those names, frankly, we could just

634
00:25:24,788 --> 00:25:27,468
Speaker 4: run through them all best fit for Let's start with

635
00:25:27,508 --> 00:25:29,508
Speaker 4: those two talents running backs and we can work through

636
00:25:29,548 --> 00:25:29,828
Speaker 4: the rest.

637
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,028
Speaker 5: So many You look at these guys and it's tough

638
00:25:32,028 --> 00:25:34,068
Speaker 5: because we've talked about it last year of just paying

639
00:25:34,108 --> 00:25:36,028
Speaker 5: the running backs, and now there's so many of them

640
00:25:36,228 --> 00:25:38,508
Speaker 5: that are free agents. They may actually drive each other's

641
00:25:38,588 --> 00:25:41,188
Speaker 5: numbers down because there's so much talent on that free

642
00:25:41,188 --> 00:25:43,948
Speaker 5: agent market. Starting with Saquon Barkley, I look at him

643
00:25:43,948 --> 00:25:46,468
Speaker 5: and his ability to do so much. Look at the

644
00:25:46,508 --> 00:25:49,268
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears. They're a team that they have cap space.

645
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,508
Speaker 5: There is also a possibility that they're going to draft

646
00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:54,348
Speaker 5: a rookie quarterback and Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.

647
00:25:54,588 --> 00:25:56,348
Speaker 5: Talking about they have Cole Cometta tight end, and they have

648
00:25:56,428 --> 00:25:59,108
Speaker 5: Dj Moore a receiver, and we've always talked about getting

649
00:25:59,148 --> 00:26:01,668
Speaker 5: another receiver to go along with Dj Moore. I think

650
00:26:01,668 --> 00:26:03,628
Speaker 5: they do that in the draft and you bring in

651
00:26:03,668 --> 00:26:05,748
Speaker 5: a guy like say that can just take so much

652
00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,548
Speaker 5: pressure off that quarterback position. He saw what he was

653
00:26:08,588 --> 00:26:10,348
Speaker 5: able to do for Daniel Jones there in the New

654
00:26:10,428 --> 00:26:12,588
Speaker 5: York Giants last year when he ended up getting paid

655
00:26:12,628 --> 00:26:15,308
Speaker 5: a lot of usage on sa Quon Barkley of him

656
00:26:15,388 --> 00:26:17,588
Speaker 5: just being able to get the ball, whether it's a

657
00:26:17,668 --> 00:26:19,988
Speaker 5: running or a running player or a passing play and

658
00:26:20,068 --> 00:26:22,708
Speaker 5: doing so much with it. So I think for sa Kuan,

659
00:26:23,028 --> 00:26:25,308
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bearrisson seemed like a really good fit. And

660
00:26:25,388 --> 00:26:27,748
Speaker 5: on the other side, for Derek Henry, something that was

661
00:26:27,748 --> 00:26:30,588
Speaker 5: floated around last year with him with the Baltimore Ravens.

662
00:26:30,628 --> 00:26:32,748
Speaker 5: I just look at the key and Mitchell, a young

663
00:26:32,748 --> 00:26:34,948
Speaker 5: guy who's coming off an injury but kind of has

664
00:26:34,988 --> 00:26:37,708
Speaker 5: that speed ability similar what Taj Spears did for the

665
00:26:37,748 --> 00:26:41,028
Speaker 5: Titans this year. With Derek Henry, you talk about Derrick

666
00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:43,988
Speaker 5: Henry and Lamar Jackson in the backfield where Lamar can

667
00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:46,108
Speaker 5: break it for eighty yards and this guy can get

668
00:26:46,188 --> 00:26:48,628
Speaker 5: out there too. Derek Henry, we talked about, Yay, he's

669
00:26:48,628 --> 00:26:51,508
Speaker 5: older than is that third last year was really good.

670
00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:53,788
Speaker 5: Less usage. They were able to give the ball to

671
00:26:53,868 --> 00:26:56,348
Speaker 5: Spears a little bit more. But Derek Henry Downhill and

672
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:58,588
Speaker 5: that Baltimore Ravens offense I think would be a lot

673
00:26:58,628 --> 00:26:59,108
Speaker 5: of fun to work.

674
00:26:59,268 --> 00:27:02,108
Speaker 1: Like the Derrick Henry Ravens playoff game. I think he

675
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:05,548
Speaker 1: just passed Thomas in the face again. Was a crazy nights.

676
00:27:05,588 --> 00:27:09,068
Speaker 8: They know Baltimore is an interesting team because Gus Edwards

677
00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:09,828
Speaker 8: and JK.

678
00:27:09,908 --> 00:27:11,308
Speaker 9: Dobbins are both free agents.

679
00:27:11,348 --> 00:27:14,068
Speaker 8: So you said Keaton Mitchell who had those like a

680
00:27:14,388 --> 00:27:16,148
Speaker 8: huge splash plays and then was gone for the year,

681
00:27:16,148 --> 00:27:17,668
Speaker 8: and we're like, well, what do we even have? How

682
00:27:17,668 --> 00:27:21,188
Speaker 8: about Saquon to Baltimore? Why we focused on Derek Henry.

683
00:27:21,228 --> 00:27:23,508
Speaker 8: Saquan also to Baltimore makes a lot of sense. Then

684
00:27:23,548 --> 00:27:26,548
Speaker 8: you would have this Saquon Lamar backfield, and who knows,

685
00:27:26,628 --> 00:27:29,428
Speaker 8: maybe we bring back O'Dell and that's superstars and if

686
00:27:29,428 --> 00:27:31,588
Speaker 8: you're gonna get past the Chiefs, that might be the

687
00:27:31,628 --> 00:27:34,148
Speaker 8: way to go. I also look at the Austin Eckler

688
00:27:34,188 --> 00:27:36,428
Speaker 8: situation I mentioned this last week, like I thought, Austin

689
00:27:36,468 --> 00:27:39,308
Speaker 8: Eckler makes a lot of sense for the Chargers. You

690
00:27:39,388 --> 00:27:41,948
Speaker 8: now we're going Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh and Derrick

691
00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,588
Speaker 8: Henry to the Chargers makes a lot of sense. Also,

692
00:27:45,588 --> 00:27:48,388
Speaker 8: Derrick Henry up the gut, up your face, like, let's

693
00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:50,428
Speaker 8: just punch you in the mouth. Is that not harball

694
00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:53,468
Speaker 8: In a nutshell, you'd have Herbert and Derrick Henry in the.

695
00:27:53,428 --> 00:27:55,228
Speaker 9: Backfield if you're gonna let Eckler walk.

696
00:27:55,268 --> 00:27:58,068
Speaker 8: And I got a lot of feedback from people saying, well, actually,

697
00:27:58,108 --> 00:27:59,068
Speaker 8: Greg Roman's okay.

698
00:27:59,068 --> 00:28:00,708
Speaker 9: I never forget it, like doesn't know better than you,

699
00:28:00,828 --> 00:28:01,228
Speaker 9: they know better.

700
00:28:01,268 --> 00:28:03,708
Speaker 8: I'm like, like, Eckler makes sense.

701
00:28:04,028 --> 00:28:05,828
Speaker 9: Eckler, that makes sense in the Greg Roman offense. I

702
00:28:05,908 --> 00:28:07,548
Speaker 9: had about forty eight different you.

703
00:28:07,508 --> 00:28:09,668
Speaker 8: Know, Ravens fans explain to me what the Greg Roman

704
00:28:09,708 --> 00:28:10,508
Speaker 8: intricacies are.

705
00:28:10,348 --> 00:28:12,668
Speaker 10: Like, I get it, I Peter learn ball ball. I

706
00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:14,428
Speaker 10: know they run the ball and I know I run.

707
00:28:15,028 --> 00:28:17,588
Speaker 8: But I think Derrick Henry to the Chargers is really interesting.

708
00:28:17,628 --> 00:28:19,388
Speaker 8: And if you've seen the news, they're gonna be looking

709
00:28:19,388 --> 00:28:21,708
Speaker 8: to shed some more salary camp maybe they can get

710
00:28:21,748 --> 00:28:22,428
Speaker 8: Henry on a deal.

711
00:28:22,468 --> 00:28:25,028
Speaker 1: I'm just full popcorn emoji for Dereck Henry in general.

712
00:28:25,108 --> 00:28:27,228
Speaker 1: I like the study of it, the fact that he's

713
00:28:27,308 --> 00:28:30,108
Speaker 1: his age, with his mileage, like can he defy that?

714
00:28:30,388 --> 00:28:31,708
Speaker 10: Is he the guy who can outwork that?

715
00:28:31,868 --> 00:28:34,748
Speaker 1: Can he out genetic that And I listen back in

716
00:28:34,788 --> 00:28:37,228
Speaker 1: the day when the Bulls could never beat the Pistons.

717
00:28:37,268 --> 00:28:39,668
Speaker 1: You've all seen it in the last dance Jordan at

718
00:28:39,668 --> 00:28:41,148
Speaker 1: Al They went to the weight room and they put

719
00:28:41,148 --> 00:28:43,308
Speaker 1: on fifteen pounds of muscle and they just got tougher.

720
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:45,268
Speaker 1: And I look at the Dolphins and I think they

721
00:28:45,308 --> 00:28:46,748
Speaker 1: got muscled in that playoff game.

722
00:28:46,668 --> 00:28:47,268
Speaker 10: Against the Chiefs.

723
00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,268
Speaker 1: We know it was cold. The Chiefs ran the ball

724
00:28:49,308 --> 00:28:52,148
Speaker 1: really well. The Dolphins didn't. Derrick Henry goes back home

725
00:28:52,188 --> 00:28:54,628
Speaker 1: to Florida and goes to the Miami Dolphins and Zags

726
00:28:54,668 --> 00:28:57,068
Speaker 1: from their whole mo of track team, like.

727
00:28:57,028 --> 00:28:58,348
Speaker 10: You know what you got. You got a track team

728
00:28:58,388 --> 00:28:58,828
Speaker 10: that's great.

729
00:28:58,948 --> 00:29:01,188
Speaker 1: Maybe a shot putter to a company of that track team,

730
00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:03,388
Speaker 1: one of those hammer throw guys, Dereck Henry at this.

731
00:29:03,348 --> 00:29:03,908
Speaker 10: Point in his career.

732
00:29:03,988 --> 00:29:06,988
Speaker 1: You know, they've got a chan they have most St Dirt,

733
00:29:07,028 --> 00:29:09,428
Speaker 1: who's also old and was really productive. I just think

734
00:29:09,468 --> 00:29:11,908
Speaker 1: like we got to find something special and something different.

735
00:29:12,188 --> 00:29:13,708
Speaker 10: We know we have all the ingenuity, we know have

736
00:29:13,748 --> 00:29:14,148
Speaker 10: all the speed.

737
00:29:14,228 --> 00:29:15,868
Speaker 1: We're gonna see what happens with Tua, but if we're

738
00:29:15,868 --> 00:29:18,748
Speaker 1: gonna win those playoff games, because Buffalo Baltimore, Kansas City.

739
00:29:18,788 --> 00:29:20,388
Speaker 1: I think we need as many weapons as possible. I

740
00:29:20,388 --> 00:29:23,268
Speaker 1: think we need to diversify our weapons. Also, I don't

741
00:29:23,268 --> 00:29:26,548
Speaker 1: think signing Derek Henry would be terribly expensive, especially if

742
00:29:26,548 --> 00:29:28,268
Speaker 1: he goes back to Miami where he wants to be.

743
00:29:28,428 --> 00:29:30,628
Speaker 1: They're it'll be cheaper than Saquon. Maybe they don't sign

744
00:29:30,628 --> 00:29:32,108
Speaker 1: a runningack. They're run back what they had, they had

745
00:29:32,108 --> 00:29:34,708
Speaker 1: a pretty cool running game. As a fan, I would

746
00:29:34,788 --> 00:29:36,868
Speaker 1: like to see Derek Henry and Miami in the Mike

747
00:29:36,948 --> 00:29:39,748
Speaker 1: McDaniel offense with all he brings to it, maybe shake

748
00:29:39,788 --> 00:29:40,868
Speaker 1: things up in the AFC East.

749
00:29:41,068 --> 00:29:43,068
Speaker 8: It's a deep list, like we didn't even talk about

750
00:29:43,108 --> 00:29:46,068
Speaker 8: Tony Pollard. Oh, it was like get the running back

751
00:29:46,108 --> 00:29:48,348
Speaker 8: one for the Cowboys. Josh Jacobs of the league in

752
00:29:48,428 --> 00:29:51,828
Speaker 8: rushing two years ago. Like deep list, and I feel

753
00:29:51,868 --> 00:29:54,268
Speaker 8: like to your point, running back position, they could all.

754
00:29:54,148 --> 00:29:56,188
Speaker 9: Just devalue each other. That might be the last you

755
00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:57,348
Speaker 9: know names to be signed.

756
00:29:57,348 --> 00:29:59,428
Speaker 8: And a couple of years ago, DeAndre Swift was like

757
00:29:59,508 --> 00:30:01,988
Speaker 8: the hottest name in college football. He coached to the Eagles,

758
00:30:02,068 --> 00:30:04,028
Speaker 8: does these things the first couple of weeks and he's

759
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:05,748
Speaker 8: kind of like, all right, DeAndre Swift is available.

760
00:30:05,788 --> 00:30:06,468
Speaker 9: It's kind of crazy.

761
00:30:06,828 --> 00:30:07,708
Speaker 3: It is really crazy.

762
00:30:07,868 --> 00:30:10,508
Speaker 4: The Cowboys having moved on from Ezekieli a couple of

763
00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:12,828
Speaker 4: years ago, and then now that they relied on Pollard

764
00:30:12,868 --> 00:30:14,508
Speaker 4: and it just didn't seem like Pollard was like a

765
00:30:14,548 --> 00:30:17,388
Speaker 4: great first running back option, Like where is he a

766
00:30:17,428 --> 00:30:19,268
Speaker 4: better fit for a team that has more of a

767
00:30:19,268 --> 00:30:20,068
Speaker 4: two prong approach?

768
00:30:20,148 --> 00:30:21,748
Speaker 5: That's the think the Cowboys. They missed a little bit

769
00:30:21,788 --> 00:30:23,868
Speaker 5: of that punch that they got with Ezekiel Elliot. Paul

770
00:30:23,948 --> 00:30:25,748
Speaker 5: is still a really good player, but to your point,

771
00:30:25,788 --> 00:30:27,948
Speaker 5: maybe getting somewhere where he can do a little bit more.

772
00:30:28,028 --> 00:30:30,148
Speaker 5: Not just hey, straight down real quick.

773
00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:32,308
Speaker 9: I like that Gus Bus give me Gus Edwards.

774
00:30:32,588 --> 00:30:33,268
Speaker 3: Very good here.

775
00:30:35,068 --> 00:30:37,588
Speaker 4: Mac Jones on a bus from New England to Jacksonville,

776
00:30:37,588 --> 00:30:39,268
Speaker 4: maybe not a bus, probably playing Who's going to be

777
00:30:39,348 --> 00:30:40,388
Speaker 4: under center for the past.

778
00:30:40,148 --> 00:30:40,948
Speaker 5: And Tournay four.

779
00:30:52,388 --> 00:30:53,908
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

780
00:30:54,908 --> 00:30:57,788
Speaker 4: Patriots traded Mac Jones to the Jaguars for a sixth

781
00:30:57,868 --> 00:31:01,628
Speaker 4: round pick yesterday. What do we make of Mac Jones

782
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:05,708
Speaker 4: after his career at Alabama going to New England and

783
00:31:05,748 --> 00:31:07,188
Speaker 4: what this all means for the Patriots?

784
00:31:07,188 --> 00:31:09,068
Speaker 3: Peter Kumful circle with the number three overall pick.

785
00:31:09,188 --> 00:31:12,708
Speaker 8: Yeah, It's interesting because Mac Jones obviously was a Pro

786
00:31:12,828 --> 00:31:15,348
Speaker 8: bowler his rookie year and took his team to the

787
00:31:15,428 --> 00:31:16,668
Speaker 8: playoffs his rookie.

788
00:31:16,508 --> 00:31:19,188
Speaker 10: Do I remember him being in the Pro Bowl? Gritty

789
00:31:19,308 --> 00:31:21,348
Speaker 10: gritty in the end zone. It was like a star

790
00:31:21,508 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 10: is born, Like.

791
00:31:24,268 --> 00:31:30,748
Speaker 8: Jasonville Bason Draft traded for a sixth round pick to Jacksonville.

792
00:31:30,828 --> 00:31:33,508
Speaker 8: That's the value of Mac Jones a sixth round pick.

793
00:31:33,548 --> 00:31:35,028
Speaker 8: And it was almost one of these deals was like

794
00:31:35,308 --> 00:31:37,668
Speaker 8: New England just wanted to just rid themselves of Mac.

795
00:31:37,708 --> 00:31:39,388
Speaker 8: And I look at all the different things that he

796
00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:43,388
Speaker 8: was dealt with, and I'm talking coaching change obviously at

797
00:31:43,428 --> 00:31:46,708
Speaker 8: the offensive coordinator position, but so many different pieces and

798
00:31:46,828 --> 00:31:50,428
Speaker 8: parts to that offense, different receivers every year. Did Mac

799
00:31:50,468 --> 00:31:53,028
Speaker 8: ever have a chance to succeed? That first year he

800
00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:55,868
Speaker 8: was good and then it was just broken and you

801
00:31:55,868 --> 00:31:58,988
Speaker 8: could say, well, his personality to fit with Belchick. Belchick's gone,

802
00:31:59,068 --> 00:32:01,148
Speaker 8: Like do you want to try maybe with these new guys.

803
00:32:01,188 --> 00:32:01,628
Speaker 9: I don't know.

804
00:32:02,628 --> 00:32:03,828
Speaker 8: The truth of the matter is they have a number

805
00:32:03,868 --> 00:32:08,108
Speaker 8: three pick, They're going quarterback. It's obvious now to me

806
00:32:08,268 --> 00:32:10,508
Speaker 8: that this is the move. There was some talk early

807
00:32:10,588 --> 00:32:14,428
Speaker 8: on like and I think Jason. I think you even

808
00:32:14,468 --> 00:32:16,548
Speaker 8: said it, like do you have maybe draft Harrison and

809
00:32:16,548 --> 00:32:18,228
Speaker 8: give him a shot, and just as a thought, like

810
00:32:18,308 --> 00:32:19,748
Speaker 8: you know, the third overall pick.

811
00:32:19,748 --> 00:32:21,548
Speaker 9: And a lot of people said it. No, this is

812
00:32:21,668 --> 00:32:22,508
Speaker 9: this is them.

813
00:32:22,228 --> 00:32:24,908
Speaker 8: Telling the market we're going quarterback, and that quarterback's either

814
00:32:24,948 --> 00:32:27,508
Speaker 8: gonna be Drake may or that quarterback's.

815
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:28,148
Speaker 9: Gonna be Jaden Daniels.

816
00:32:28,188 --> 00:32:30,508
Speaker 8: As we assume Kayleb Billiams is gonna go first, and

817
00:32:30,548 --> 00:32:33,148
Speaker 8: now they can invest their time into figuring it out.

818
00:32:34,308 --> 00:32:34,548
Speaker 7: Mac.

819
00:32:34,708 --> 00:32:37,908
Speaker 8: What a weird period of New England Patriots football because

820
00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:40,908
Speaker 8: remember the bridge quarterback was Cam Newton. Yeah, he played

821
00:32:40,908 --> 00:32:43,108
Speaker 8: it here and then they were like we're gonna have

822
00:32:43,148 --> 00:32:45,468
Speaker 8: Cam and Mack and Mac is a rookie, was so

823
00:32:45,628 --> 00:32:48,388
Speaker 8: good in training camp that he beat out Cam Newton

824
00:32:48,428 --> 00:32:50,588
Speaker 8: and they just got rid of Cam Newton pushed him.

825
00:32:50,508 --> 00:32:53,188
Speaker 9: To the side. I can't believe, like that's how it goes.

826
00:32:53,188 --> 00:32:54,908
Speaker 8: And now, as a fifteenth overall pick who was a

827
00:32:54,908 --> 00:32:57,268
Speaker 8: pro bowler as a rookie before his rookie deals even

828
00:32:57,308 --> 00:33:00,268
Speaker 8: close to done, Mac Jones is traded for a bag

829
00:33:00,308 --> 00:33:02,788
Speaker 8: of football's and a hamp sandwich to the jacksonvill Jaguars. Well,

830
00:33:02,788 --> 00:33:05,388
Speaker 8: he'll be a backup to another guy from his draft class,

831
00:33:05,628 --> 00:33:08,028
Speaker 8: sad ending, And I can't say it's a great ending

832
00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:08,548
Speaker 8: for mac Jones.

833
00:33:08,588 --> 00:33:10,188
Speaker 9: I don't think he's going to beat out Trevor Lawrence

834
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:10,668
Speaker 9: for the job.

835
00:33:11,108 --> 00:33:13,308
Speaker 8: And I look at Russell Wilson's getting a shot to

836
00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:16,228
Speaker 8: fight Kenny Pickett for a gig like Mac Jones couldn't

837
00:33:16,228 --> 00:33:17,068
Speaker 8: beat out Kenny Pickett.

838
00:33:17,068 --> 00:33:17,308
Speaker 5: I don't know.

839
00:33:17,308 --> 00:33:19,188
Speaker 9: Maybe everyone else in the world knows more than I do.

840
00:33:19,308 --> 00:33:20,068
Speaker 9: Six round pick.

841
00:33:20,068 --> 00:33:23,228
Speaker 8: It seems like that was literally thirty cents twenty cents

842
00:33:23,228 --> 00:33:26,428
Speaker 8: on the dollar. It seems like very low get back

843
00:33:26,468 --> 00:33:28,028
Speaker 8: for what Mac Jones could be.

844
00:33:28,068 --> 00:33:30,068
Speaker 5: It's for a team, to your point, it's only two

845
00:33:30,148 --> 00:33:32,428
Speaker 5: years removed from that Pro Bowl season, a lot of

846
00:33:32,468 --> 00:33:34,908
Speaker 5: coaches changing and between that. But I look at this

847
00:33:34,948 --> 00:33:37,748
Speaker 5: for mac Jones as a good opportunity because you look

848
00:33:37,748 --> 00:33:39,748
Speaker 5: at it, you get drafted to a team that has

849
00:33:39,828 --> 00:33:42,268
Speaker 5: a defensive minded head coach and Bill Belichick, you have

850
00:33:42,348 --> 00:33:44,948
Speaker 5: McDaniels as your OC, you have a terrific year as

851
00:33:44,948 --> 00:33:47,348
Speaker 5: a rookie, then from that point on you get Bill

852
00:33:47,388 --> 00:33:49,788
Speaker 5: O'Brien after the third year. But then in between that

853
00:33:49,908 --> 00:33:52,268
Speaker 5: you have Matt Patrician, and Joe Jones. So for Mac Jones,

854
00:33:52,348 --> 00:33:54,708
Speaker 5: you're going to Jacksonville where Doug Peterson is the head

855
00:33:54,748 --> 00:33:57,228
Speaker 5: coach and offensive minded guy, and he gets a chance

856
00:33:57,268 --> 00:34:00,068
Speaker 5: to go learn in that system with no pressure. Nobody

857
00:34:00,068 --> 00:34:02,508
Speaker 5: in Jacksonville and Duvall is looking for Mac Jones to

858
00:34:02,548 --> 00:34:05,388
Speaker 5: come in and say today is Trevor Lawrence's team. He

859
00:34:05,468 --> 00:34:08,628
Speaker 5: can be a backup learn football. And we're watching Gardner

860
00:34:08,628 --> 00:34:10,628
Speaker 5: Minshew have a terrific year this year and all these

861
00:34:10,628 --> 00:34:13,668
Speaker 5: backup quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence was banged up a year ago,

862
00:34:14,068 --> 00:34:16,388
Speaker 5: missed time. Now you get a guy like Mac Jones

863
00:34:16,428 --> 00:34:18,548
Speaker 5: who possibly, once he learned how to play in this system,

864
00:34:18,668 --> 00:34:21,268
Speaker 5: could help them and be that backup quarterback that they need.

865
00:34:21,468 --> 00:34:23,748
Speaker 5: For Mac Jones, who knows his fifty year option is

866
00:34:23,788 --> 00:34:25,428
Speaker 5: not going to get picked up by Jacksonville, so that

867
00:34:25,468 --> 00:34:27,748
Speaker 5: means he's going there. He's playing his fourth year, he'll

868
00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:29,308
Speaker 5: be a free agent at the end of the year.

869
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:31,428
Speaker 5: Possibly he plays in a game until he plays in

870
00:34:31,428 --> 00:34:34,028
Speaker 5: the preseason and maybe somebody sees him coming in to

871
00:34:34,108 --> 00:34:37,468
Speaker 5: compete as a starter. Maybe he returns to Jacksonville. Who knows,

872
00:34:37,628 --> 00:34:39,308
Speaker 5: But I look at this move for the Patriots and

873
00:34:39,348 --> 00:34:41,588
Speaker 5: you mentioned him drafting a quarterback. Now with that third

874
00:34:41,628 --> 00:34:43,468
Speaker 5: overall pick, I think they're also going to bring in

875
00:34:43,468 --> 00:34:46,228
Speaker 5: a veteran quarterback. Jacoby Brissett is a guy that was

876
00:34:46,268 --> 00:34:48,748
Speaker 5: in New England. He also was in Cleveland with Van Peldon,

877
00:34:48,788 --> 00:34:51,468
Speaker 5: new offensive coordinator, and would make sense to bring in

878
00:34:51,548 --> 00:34:54,708
Speaker 5: somebody like Jacoby. He's been around Mayo, he knows some

879
00:34:54,748 --> 00:34:57,428
Speaker 5: of these guys that are already there. He can help

880
00:34:57,468 --> 00:35:00,548
Speaker 5: be that guy for a young rookie quarterback who maybe

881
00:35:00,588 --> 00:35:02,708
Speaker 5: a Jayden Damis or Drake may is ready to play

882
00:35:02,788 --> 00:35:05,308
Speaker 5: right away, maybe they're not, and a guy like Jacoby

883
00:35:05,348 --> 00:35:07,308
Speaker 5: could get in there. We watched it last year for

884
00:35:07,348 --> 00:35:09,988
Speaker 5: the Commander Sam Howell was named the quarterback. There were

885
00:35:09,988 --> 00:35:11,988
Speaker 5: about two games where they were just getting blown out

886
00:35:11,988 --> 00:35:14,428
Speaker 5: and they put Jacoby in and he rattles off three

887
00:35:14,428 --> 00:35:17,388
Speaker 5: touchdown drives and next thing you know, they're in a game.

888
00:35:17,708 --> 00:35:20,108
Speaker 5: This is a guy that's proven, especially the year he

889
00:35:20,148 --> 00:35:22,868
Speaker 5: went to Cleveland amiss everything that was going on with

890
00:35:22,908 --> 00:35:25,028
Speaker 5: the Cleveland Browns. He got in there and he was

891
00:35:25,028 --> 00:35:27,668
Speaker 5: a leader for that team and at the quarterback position.

892
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:30,268
Speaker 5: So the fact that him in vel Pelt have history together,

893
00:35:30,508 --> 00:35:32,508
Speaker 5: I think Jacoby will be a perfect fit for them.

894
00:35:32,748 --> 00:35:35,228
Speaker 5: Bring him in draft a quarterback, throw it overall and

895
00:35:35,268 --> 00:35:36,708
Speaker 5: see where they can take this offense.

896
00:35:36,908 --> 00:35:39,788
Speaker 1: It's a link to back the Belichick era, like the

897
00:35:40,148 --> 00:35:42,908
Speaker 1: Jacoby brissett is and the Mac Jones thing. I can't

898
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:44,428
Speaker 1: sit here and cry for him. It's a tough sport,

899
00:35:44,588 --> 00:35:46,708
Speaker 1: you know, Like you got draft in the first round

900
00:35:46,788 --> 00:35:48,868
Speaker 1: and we could sit and rat off coordinator.

901
00:35:48,908 --> 00:35:49,588
Speaker 10: This coordinator that.

902
00:35:49,548 --> 00:35:50,948
Speaker 1: I can give you fifty different guys who had to

903
00:35:51,028 --> 00:35:53,668
Speaker 1: change coordinators a million times and just have played better.

904
00:35:54,228 --> 00:35:56,628
Speaker 1: He didn't play well if he had a million opportunities.

905
00:35:57,388 --> 00:35:59,788
Speaker 1: I also do wonder, though, if there is something about

906
00:35:59,828 --> 00:36:02,668
Speaker 1: starting afresh starting to know that's a Belichick draft pick.

907
00:36:02,668 --> 00:36:04,308
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ten gentle here, but you guys know,

908
00:36:04,548 --> 00:36:07,588
Speaker 1: I've just been watching this Patriots documentary, The Dynasty.

909
00:36:07,788 --> 00:36:09,748
Speaker 10: Oh my god, some of the stuff.

910
00:36:09,468 --> 00:36:12,068
Speaker 1: That they get into and the draconian ways of Belichick,

911
00:36:12,148 --> 00:36:14,388
Speaker 1: like that whole like we're drafting Jimmy Garoppolo to run

912
00:36:14,428 --> 00:36:16,348
Speaker 1: off Brady thing was one hundred percent reel. He was

913
00:36:16,388 --> 00:36:18,628
Speaker 1: going to Robert Craft and showing him video of Brady

914
00:36:18,668 --> 00:36:21,028
Speaker 1: failing to throw late, Like we need to move on now.

915
00:36:21,188 --> 00:36:22,868
Speaker 10: So my point is only to bring that up. A.

916
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:23,908
Speaker 10: It's amazing, and B.

917
00:36:24,628 --> 00:36:27,148
Speaker 1: I think that coach Mayo needs to really really move

918
00:36:27,188 --> 00:36:29,708
Speaker 1: on to like new stuff and like Mac Jones maybe

919
00:36:29,748 --> 00:36:32,268
Speaker 1: a good guy, maybe a potential as a player's Belichick

920
00:36:32,308 --> 00:36:34,348
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. It feels like kind of we're

921
00:36:34,388 --> 00:36:37,868
Speaker 1: emotionally hungover from that. Let's completely start anew. I do

922
00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:40,348
Speaker 1: wonder though, and like so, Peter, you go back to

923
00:36:40,388 --> 00:36:42,428
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty one draft. They're sitting there, the Patriots,

924
00:36:42,428 --> 00:36:45,668
Speaker 1: they're looking for a quarterback. Obviously they get jumped by

925
00:36:45,748 --> 00:36:48,348
Speaker 1: the Bears and the Bears take justin fields.

926
00:36:48,428 --> 00:36:49,028
Speaker 10: We never know.

927
00:36:49,108 --> 00:36:50,868
Speaker 1: The Patriots has done all the work on fields, they

928
00:36:50,908 --> 00:36:52,428
Speaker 1: could have gone with fields, will never know.

929
00:36:52,868 --> 00:36:55,228
Speaker 10: How does that sit with you? Justin fields to the Patriots?

930
00:36:55,228 --> 00:36:56,908
Speaker 8: This draft will have a thirty for thirty on it

931
00:36:56,908 --> 00:36:59,508
Speaker 8: look at that point because for thirty because Trey Lance

932
00:36:59,548 --> 00:37:01,428
Speaker 8: is at number three, and everyone and their mother said

933
00:37:01,628 --> 00:37:03,548
Speaker 8: Mac Jones is the pick. The Shanahans love him, and

934
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:06,028
Speaker 8: then that led up to it that kind of tied

935
00:37:06,108 --> 00:37:08,668
Speaker 8: changed and became Trey Lance. And then Mac was sitting

936
00:37:08,668 --> 00:37:10,268
Speaker 8: there at fifteen and remember.

937
00:37:09,948 --> 00:37:12,028
Speaker 9: The walk that he had and he looked like struck.

938
00:37:12,348 --> 00:37:15,308
Speaker 8: Yeah, right, it was like, oh my god, Saban's guy

939
00:37:15,348 --> 00:37:17,748
Speaker 8: from Alabama with Belichick and that first year out of

940
00:37:17,788 --> 00:37:20,188
Speaker 8: the gates, they go to the playoffs and it hit.

941
00:37:20,548 --> 00:37:24,428
Speaker 8: So would Justin Fields have succeeded and where Mac Jones didn't.

942
00:37:24,548 --> 00:37:26,668
Speaker 8: It's a great what if when Trey Lance have been

943
00:37:26,668 --> 00:37:29,428
Speaker 8: more exciting. Would Mac Jones have the career that Rock

944
00:37:29,468 --> 00:37:31,388
Speaker 8: Perty's having right now had he gone to San Francisco.

945
00:37:31,428 --> 00:37:34,468
Speaker 8: It's a lot of different sliding doors. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence

946
00:37:34,468 --> 00:37:36,668
Speaker 8: and Zach Wilson neither one of those guys have.

947
00:37:36,668 --> 00:37:38,548
Speaker 9: Been superstars in the league either.

948
00:37:38,588 --> 00:37:41,188
Speaker 8: And Trevor had a better career than Zach obviously, but

949
00:37:41,268 --> 00:37:43,548
Speaker 8: I think even Trevor Lawrence hasn't lived up to his expectations.

950
00:37:43,548 --> 00:37:44,868
Speaker 9: So that whole draft class looks.

951
00:37:44,628 --> 00:37:45,028
Speaker 10: Hard to me.

952
00:37:45,148 --> 00:37:48,028
Speaker 5: You think Mack could be there to push Trevor of like, hey,

953
00:37:48,188 --> 00:37:49,388
Speaker 5: like Trevor, you're.

954
00:37:49,268 --> 00:37:51,628
Speaker 8: Our guy, But at the same time, I don't. Yeah, No,

955
00:37:51,748 --> 00:37:54,428
Speaker 8: I think Trevor's their guy. And Mac was like, I said,

956
00:37:54,508 --> 00:37:55,548
Speaker 8: what I say, ham sandwich?

957
00:37:55,548 --> 00:37:56,388
Speaker 10: What a bag of ball?

958
00:37:56,828 --> 00:37:58,668
Speaker 8: Hand sandwich and the bag of balls or six round

959
00:37:58,708 --> 00:38:00,588
Speaker 8: pick that's that's literally nothing.

960
00:38:00,268 --> 00:38:00,908
Speaker 9: For Mack Jones.

961
00:38:00,948 --> 00:38:02,948
Speaker 4: Well, I think in the season of twenty twenty three

962
00:38:03,108 --> 00:38:05,188
Speaker 4: of that being like the year of the backup quarterback.

963
00:38:05,228 --> 00:38:07,588
Speaker 4: I think the Jaguars actually got away with some because

964
00:38:07,908 --> 00:38:10,028
Speaker 4: of all the years that Trevor Lawrence has played, he

965
00:38:10,068 --> 00:38:11,388
Speaker 4: only missed his first career start.

966
00:38:11,428 --> 00:38:12,228
Speaker 3: This last season.

967
00:38:12,308 --> 00:38:15,628
Speaker 4: He had four significant injuries that took him out of games,

968
00:38:15,668 --> 00:38:17,508
Speaker 4: but it didn't really cause him to miss a game

969
00:38:17,588 --> 00:38:19,788
Speaker 4: until that next week. He got hurt in Week six

970
00:38:19,948 --> 00:38:23,388
Speaker 4: twelve thirteen fourteen, and then the Jaguars had sputtered at

971
00:38:23,388 --> 00:38:24,908
Speaker 4: the end of the season and they had CJ.

972
00:38:25,028 --> 00:38:26,468
Speaker 3: Bethard come in. They had a couple of.

973
00:38:26,428 --> 00:38:28,508
Speaker 4: Their guys in the roster, but like maybe they just realized,

974
00:38:28,508 --> 00:38:30,468
Speaker 4: I think we kind of stole one season, but we

975
00:38:30,548 --> 00:38:33,468
Speaker 4: can't get by again without like a really sustainable backup.

976
00:38:33,708 --> 00:38:35,588
Speaker 4: But if you consider that draft class and what mac

977
00:38:35,628 --> 00:38:38,548
Speaker 4: Jones went for now compared to what he where he

978
00:38:38,628 --> 00:38:40,748
Speaker 4: was drafted at the time, what does that do to

979
00:38:40,828 --> 00:38:44,468
Speaker 4: the market When you consider what Justin Fields is dealing

980
00:38:44,508 --> 00:38:46,588
Speaker 4: with and what the Bears have in their pockets.

981
00:38:46,588 --> 00:38:48,868
Speaker 8: The seats are starting to get filled up right Pittsburgh's

982
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:50,388
Speaker 8: no longer an option and we don't think they're bringing

983
00:38:50,468 --> 00:38:52,988
Speaker 8: Fields Russell Wilson and picking and Mason Rupp. Now of

984
00:38:52,988 --> 00:38:57,028
Speaker 8: course not Atlanta, now Kirk Cousin. So let's say if

985
00:38:57,108 --> 00:38:59,508
Speaker 8: that's what everyone's saying, and maybe Minnesota keeps him, but

986
00:38:59,828 --> 00:39:01,108
Speaker 8: let's put that one off.

987
00:39:00,948 --> 00:39:01,508
Speaker 5: To the side.

988
00:39:01,948 --> 00:39:04,228
Speaker 9: The Bucks just resigned Baker Mitfield.

989
00:39:04,428 --> 00:39:10,508
Speaker 8: Where's your Justin Fields team, Chicago, Chicago. I think they're

990
00:39:10,508 --> 00:39:14,108
Speaker 8: taking Caleb first overall. So the dream is that there's

991
00:39:14,188 --> 00:39:17,908
Speaker 8: a twelve teams banging down the door that Sean Watson

992
00:39:17,948 --> 00:39:19,708
Speaker 8: had and it was like, let's just have a bidding

993
00:39:19,748 --> 00:39:20,748
Speaker 8: war and let's give him away.

994
00:39:21,108 --> 00:39:23,188
Speaker 9: Doesn't exist. It doesn't exist.

995
00:39:23,268 --> 00:39:26,188
Speaker 8: And this is the worst case scenario for Ryan Poles

996
00:39:26,468 --> 00:39:28,468
Speaker 8: where he's at the combine and he's like, we want

997
00:39:28,468 --> 00:39:30,468
Speaker 8: to do what's right by Justin, meaning getting them to

998
00:39:30,508 --> 00:39:32,748
Speaker 8: a new team before free agency starts, and we'd like

999
00:39:32,788 --> 00:39:36,108
Speaker 8: to maximize our trade value. Mac Jones just went for

1000
00:39:36,148 --> 00:39:39,108
Speaker 8: a six round pick. Justin Fields is better than Mac Jones,

1001
00:39:39,108 --> 00:39:40,388
Speaker 8: But how.

1002
00:39:40,308 --> 00:39:42,508
Speaker 9: Much better is it a fourth or fifth?

1003
00:39:42,508 --> 00:39:45,508
Speaker 8: Because if whatever team takes on Justin Fields, the expectation

1004
00:39:45,588 --> 00:39:48,228
Speaker 8: is at your starting quarterback or at your high end backup,

1005
00:39:48,268 --> 00:39:49,988
Speaker 8: and you're going to have to resign him at some

1006
00:39:50,068 --> 00:39:52,828
Speaker 8: point off his rookie deal to a bigger deal. I

1007
00:39:52,828 --> 00:39:54,628
Speaker 8: don't have a justin fields team right now.

1008
00:39:54,868 --> 00:39:55,228
Speaker 9: I don't.

1009
00:39:55,388 --> 00:39:57,508
Speaker 10: I'm literally scanning my head his New England.

1010
00:39:57,988 --> 00:40:00,188
Speaker 4: Maybe well, and you're just playing the free agent game

1011
00:40:00,228 --> 00:40:01,868
Speaker 4: right now. You have a whole draft class of like

1012
00:40:02,028 --> 00:40:05,028
Speaker 4: pretty good quarterbacks to pick from. Two I'm thinking about

1013
00:40:05,068 --> 00:40:07,988
Speaker 4: like a Sean Payton and he was all over Combine weekend,

1014
00:40:08,028 --> 00:40:09,908
Speaker 4: Peter keeping an eye on all those quarbacks. So like,

1015
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:12,588
Speaker 4: there's also young, fresh options that you don't know about either.

1016
00:40:12,828 --> 00:40:15,068
Speaker 5: Definitely, you look at this. I go back to I

1017
00:40:15,068 --> 00:40:17,788
Speaker 5: think last week I said it could justin fields and

1018
00:40:17,868 --> 00:40:19,948
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams be on the scene, talk up in that

1019
00:40:20,028 --> 00:40:22,708
Speaker 5: quarterback room, and as a former player, like, yeah, you say,

1020
00:40:22,708 --> 00:40:24,788
Speaker 5: all you gotta humble yourself. But if I'm justin fields,

1021
00:40:24,828 --> 00:40:26,388
Speaker 5: you kind of feel like, well, last year I was

1022
00:40:26,508 --> 00:40:29,228
Speaker 5: still just hitting my stride. So if you're gonna draft

1023
00:40:29,268 --> 00:40:32,148
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams, if you're justin fields, you're sitting there, you're like, well, coach,

1024
00:40:32,228 --> 00:40:34,068
Speaker 5: let us compete. Let us go out there and see

1025
00:40:34,068 --> 00:40:36,508
Speaker 5: who the better players and start the better one of us.

1026
00:40:36,588 --> 00:40:39,068
Speaker 5: And we all know if you're first overall pick, you're drafted,

1027
00:40:39,108 --> 00:40:41,988
Speaker 5: you're going to get your opportunity. So I just look

1028
00:40:42,028 --> 00:40:44,828
Speaker 5: at that dynamic and there has to be guys on

1029
00:40:44,828 --> 00:40:47,308
Speaker 5: that roster where they're just like no, like we love Justin,

1030
00:40:47,388 --> 00:40:49,148
Speaker 5: like we think if we do right by and we

1031
00:40:49,188 --> 00:40:50,468
Speaker 5: build around him, he can be the.

1032
00:40:50,388 --> 00:40:52,988
Speaker 1: Guy DJ Moore has been campaigning, will stop. He should

1033
00:40:52,988 --> 00:40:54,108
Speaker 1: be the guy, the number one receiver.

1034
00:40:54,228 --> 00:40:56,588
Speaker 5: So now you get Caleb there and misses it. He's

1035
00:40:56,628 --> 00:40:58,948
Speaker 5: gonna be a rookie quarterback. You can't just assume he's

1036
00:40:58,988 --> 00:41:01,148
Speaker 5: going to be CJ Stroud of this past year. So

1037
00:41:01,228 --> 00:41:02,548
Speaker 5: you don't know how that's gonna go.

1038
00:41:02,708 --> 00:41:05,108
Speaker 9: Not draft Caleb because he didn't get what you'll w.

1039
00:41:05,148 --> 00:41:07,628
Speaker 5: I agree, I agree. I'm just saying the dynamic of

1040
00:41:07,708 --> 00:41:09,788
Speaker 5: that quarterback room. But I'm with you, you can't pass

1041
00:41:09,828 --> 00:41:11,708
Speaker 5: on them, like, oh man, we couldn't trade Justin.

1042
00:41:11,628 --> 00:41:13,748
Speaker 8: Couldn't figure out, we couldn't get the right value for Justin.

1043
00:41:13,788 --> 00:41:15,468
Speaker 8: So we're just not gonna draft Kleb.

1044
00:41:15,668 --> 00:41:18,508
Speaker 5: But man, that'll be a fun training for a long.

1045
00:41:18,348 --> 00:41:20,668
Speaker 1: Time till the draft a long time. I still don't

1046
00:41:20,668 --> 00:41:22,268
Speaker 1: know what's going on in Chicago. I think I think

1047
00:41:22,268 --> 00:41:24,108
Speaker 1: they're gonna take Caleb too, But nobody knows.

1048
00:41:24,108 --> 00:41:25,988
Speaker 9: The stadium news today, big stadium news.

1049
00:41:25,988 --> 00:41:27,708
Speaker 1: Apparently they're not going to go to Arlington Heights and

1050
00:41:27,708 --> 00:41:29,068
Speaker 1: they're gonna stay in the lake Front Chicago.

1051
00:41:29,108 --> 00:41:29,388
Speaker 10: People.

1052
00:41:29,388 --> 00:41:31,788
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. Some people Scogoby that's not good news.

1053
00:41:32,108 --> 00:41:33,948
Speaker 1: I got folks who want him to go at Arlington Heights.

1054
00:41:33,948 --> 00:41:34,668
Speaker 1: We'll get into it later.

1055
00:41:35,108 --> 00:41:37,308
Speaker 3: We are going to get into it. That's just what's

1056
00:41:37,308 --> 00:41:39,868
Speaker 3: happening offensively with the Bears. Defensively with the Colts.

1057
00:41:40,108 --> 00:41:43,228
Speaker 4: Ian Rappaport just tweeted your Franklin's sign a three year

1058
00:41:43,268 --> 00:41:48,188
Speaker 4: extension with the Colts and their linebacker room, their defense

1059
00:41:48,228 --> 00:41:50,588
Speaker 4: got better. Franklin second in the league and tackles last

1060
00:41:50,628 --> 00:41:53,268
Speaker 4: season he had a career high though. Plus he was

1061
00:41:53,308 --> 00:41:55,468
Speaker 4: there Walter Payton, man of the Arneminee. So a great

1062
00:41:55,508 --> 00:41:58,068
Speaker 4: guy to have in Indy and to continue on defensively

1063
00:41:58,228 --> 00:41:58,788
Speaker 4: for the Colts.

1064
00:41:58,788 --> 00:42:00,188
Speaker 3: We'll get into it still. Come on our show.

1066

1067
00:42:05,268 --> 00:42:05,628
Speaker 4: little bit.
