1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're all just monitoring the 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: AJ Brown trade too. 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal. 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm in a way it's in the eighties, where as 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: they would say in London the high twenties, maybe up 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: to thirty. 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: Will Davin is with me in relatively cold. 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: I imagine Dowur London, because that's us. 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 3: Our image of your stay well never never dour, I 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 3: mean definitely relatively cold. 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 4: But no, we're really very positive. It's very cheery. 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: Spring has sprung a little bit in the last week 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 3: or so. Don't have a bit of a storm in 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: the last couple of days. But you know, we've all 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: been obviously embedded inside watching the free agency frenzy and 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 3: the trade tsunami and everything else going on, so all 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 3: the alliterative football fund that we've been enjoying the last 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: few days. 19 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Yes, if you're not familiar, Will Gavin is an international superstar, 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: gone viral on talkSPORT. He helped call Super Bowl sixty 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: for Talk Sport and I was part of that broadcast. 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun. He's a forty nine 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: Ers fan. He's gonna help me go through some of 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the news today. I've been on the watch for an 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: AJ Brown move as we're taping, just there's just bubbling 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: up of AJ Brown. So nothing, nothing's happened so far. 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: And then we'll also get to just a segment where 28 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: we look at some of the like big roster holes 29 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: that we kind of see. I'd lean towards like good 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: teams of just like, huh, this is a problem for 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: good teams, but you could throw in bad teams too, will. 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: It's how I've I've found I first did my list, 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 3: I looked at it and I went, I've basically picked 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: people who were in the top four last year, Like 35 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: that's how it initially came out. 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 4: So I tried to adjust it a little bit. 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of it is contenders where I'm 38 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: kind of stroking my chain and thinking, I don't know 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: if you've done enough to push to that next level. 40 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Right it doesn't make sense to pick like the Browns 41 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: for everything when they're their roster is like the Grand 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: Canyon right now, that's what's going on, all right, So 43 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: here's the AJ Brown news the athletics, Diana Rossini and 44 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: our Jordan Rodrieg. We're part of a report that the Eagles, 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, have been trying to trade AJ Brown, that 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: the Rams specifically were involved in trade talks for AJ 47 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: Brown before making the Trent mcdufferiny deal, and that they 48 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: are quote monitoring the AJ Brown situation. If you go 49 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: a little deeper into the reporting and it's a co 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: byline with Diana and Jordan, it sounds like the Eagles 51 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: had a pretty high price tag to begin with. They 52 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: haven't obviously found a suitor. The Patriots were in the mix. 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: The fact that this news is coming out a little 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: more on Friday gets to my overall takeaway will, which 55 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: is that the Eagles want to trade AJ Brown, Like 56 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: this whole idea of like leverage and oh maybe it 57 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: don't happen if we get the right price or not. 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: Like I don't know what's how this is going to end, obviously, 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: but my big takeaway is like, oh, they really want 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: to trade AJ Brown, which means he probably will be traded. 61 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: And it is fascinating to think of that Rams landing 62 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: spot considering the Adams and Puka Akua on their team. 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're not looking forward to that trio as 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: a forty nine ers span. 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the ultimate Fmpicks move would be to then go 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: and throw a first round or at aj Brown, which is 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: supposedly what they want. That plus and that for me, 68 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: that's the thing that's been putting me off. I think 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 3: most teams going for this deal, particularly when we started 70 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: free agency, and somebody threw up the question and actually 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: was in relevance to the forty nine ers who end 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: up going and getting Mike Evans, but they were talking 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: about the guys at the very top of the market, 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and the question was, would you rather pay Alec Piss 75 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: twenty seven million dollars a year? Would you rather pay 76 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: AJ Brown twenty five million dollars a year and pay 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: a first round pick for him? And right now I 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: was leaning towards Alec Pierce all day long. And I 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: think now that it's settled down pre draft, do we 80 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: see something happened. I think unless it is this Rams 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: making a decision that they are just going to go 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: absolutely all in that it is all about this season 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: that might be the last season of Matt Stafford, I 84 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: think outside of that, I think this is something that's 85 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: much more likely tapping around the draft itself or even 86 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: post draft, when a team misses out on the guy 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: they want. But we all know that how he wants 88 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: another pick this year. So I think it's gonna be 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: a real balancing act and we're gonna have to monitor 90 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: the monitoring of the situation. 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: Love that analysis. 92 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I think that's right, and I think the reason it 93 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: popped up Friday was earlier in the week, the Eagles 94 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: pushed back a void date in Dallas Godd's contract even 95 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: though he's been sitting out there on my top one 96 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: oh one free agents, because the report was he was 97 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: getting traded when the new league year started. It never 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: actually happened. So maybe that's on us, Maybe that's on 99 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: the editor editorial staff. We played a little fast and loose. 100 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: He's just sitting out there number eighty one, and yet 101 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: he's not really out there, and that they were, I 102 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: think potentially considering. Diana and Jordan put this paragraph about 103 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard second in the article that maybe the Aj 104 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: Brown you know, possible trade was you know, coming back 105 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: up today and maybe the Eagles will back off this 106 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: huge asking price because they would like to get aj 107 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, figure out what Aj Brown's cap hit is 108 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: going to be from tradinghum away so that they can 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: start building the rest of their roster and know what 110 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: they really have. Can they afford to keep Dallas Goddard 111 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: for instance, maybe that would be you know, more difficult 112 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: or less the difficult depending on if they trade a J. 113 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Brown or how much do you need Dallas Goddard? You 114 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: need it more if you trade AJ Brown. Could they 115 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: still be in the mix for Jonathan Grenard which was 116 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: a report? Maybe not after the free agency move that 117 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: they picked up Arnold Ebakeetti, who's kind of a pass 118 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: rusher for seven and a half million dollars. 119 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: It does all speak. 120 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: To a team to me that wants to go ahead 121 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: with their planning, and that planning is probably not gonna 122 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: have AJ Brown. 123 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: That's my takeaway for twenty Yeah. 124 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: I think there's a big question remark still over what 125 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: does that sher mannion offense look like, right, because if 126 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: you've not got AJ Brown and you're not relying on 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: that kind of two towers of him and Devon to Smith, 128 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 3: then you know, is it going to be much more 129 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: run heavy? Is that the direction that they want to 130 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: head in? Do they believe that they can go and 131 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: draft a guy and plug and play and have a 132 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: starting receiver that way? 133 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: Because what you don't want is a trail On Burk situation. 134 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: Right, there is literally a like forul like comparison of 135 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: moving on from aj Brown, picking somebody with that same 136 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: pick and ending up with a much inferior player, even 137 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: if you've got the even if you've got the wage 138 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: and the seeming hassle off of your book. So yeah, 139 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: I it's it's obvious that to me, and I agree 140 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 3: with you on this, that they want to move on. 141 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: But they want to move on and start planning for 142 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: this new year, and so maybe they do. 143 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: Do you think they drop their asking price? Then what 144 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: does that go down to the two and. 145 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: A three or sure a two and a three is great. 146 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why they would expect to 147 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: get a first plot first. In a second, I think 148 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: with some of the reporting out there of like why 149 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: would you. 150 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: You, I just wouldn't expect. 151 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect the first, And the reporting has been 152 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: that the Patriots were never offering their first and I 153 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: think if they had gotten an offer for first, he 154 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: would be an ex eagle. 155 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: So I mentioned Ebiketti. 156 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: He was a guy who was in the top sixty 157 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: of my free agents, you know, kind of just a 158 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: pure pass rusher. I think they're okay there on the 159 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: defensive line. We'll see if they bring Brandon Graham back, 160 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: but you're right if they traded aj Brown. Your number 161 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: one receiver is DeVante Smith. I think he can do more. 162 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: But your number two receiver then is at this point, 163 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: it's not Dallas Goddter, it's Darius Cooper. I mean, we're 164 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: talking about roster holes. That would be a massive one, 165 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: and they obviously wouldn't be finished with whatever they're going 166 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: to do this offseason, so we'll keep an eye on that. 167 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: As we're taping, we got some breaking news. Unfortunately it's 168 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: not the kind of screaming headline I would love to 169 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: just lead this show with. 170 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: But it was the highest. 171 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Remaining player left on my top one oh one free agents, 172 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: the only player in the top forty that you have 173 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: no idea what the report is. Do you know my 174 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: list well enough? This would really show that you love 175 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: me to know who the player is. 176 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: I do know who the player is because I had 177 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: this player going to one of my roster holes that 178 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: I had during our conversation later and I did go 179 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: and look at the water and want to go, ooh, 180 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: So it's Packers tackle Rashid Walker, right but whereas he landed, he. 181 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: Is with the Carolina Panthers. We threw that out on 182 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: our last show I did with shook As. That wasn't 183 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: my number one pick for him, but I was like, 184 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: there aren't many teams that need to tackle. I threw 185 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: out the Panthers as one if if they didn't mind investing. 186 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: While they also have ikey Ekwanmu, but he's coming off 187 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: a very serious injury which might keep him out of 188 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: the entire twenty twenty seven season or twenty twenty six season. 189 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: And it is a one year deal reportedly according to 190 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, and so it's kind of a prove it deal. 191 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: Walker didn't get the money that he wanted. They need 192 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: to tackle for one year, he can play in some 193 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: meaningful games. 194 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: And I think that's a nice, nice. 195 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Little fit for a Panthers team who's you know, they're 196 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: gonna now have bigger expect hated this season after adding 197 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, adding Jalen Phillips, and then adding Rashid Walker 198 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: right there, that's that's three of my top you know, 199 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: original thirty players in free agency. 200 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when you think about some of the 201 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: tackle contracts that flew around last year. When you think about, 202 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: you know, a guy like Jalen Moore off the back 203 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: of four or five starts getting a multi year, decent 204 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: sized deal. 205 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: I'm slightly surprised that Walker doesn't get something like that, But. 206 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 3: Apparently hanging around for three days is too long for guys. 207 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: And actually there were a few teams I thought could 208 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: have done with him. So I'm kind of stunt he's 209 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: taking a one year deal, but. 210 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: Well, he probably priced himself out. This is where they 211 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: should fire the agent. 212 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: You know. 213 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm sure he had some offers that were 214 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: just as good or better than some of these tackle offers, 215 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: like Braden Smith got two for twenty. I'm sure he 216 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: had an offer better than that, but they were looking 217 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: for more and then the market dried up. 218 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, stunts livid, genuinely and has the market fully dried up? Like, 219 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: I still feel like there are teams who. 220 00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 4: Are gonna need a guy. 221 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 3: I still feel like they could have held out a 222 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: little longer, but like what the Lion's gonna do. I'm 223 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: still surprised that he's taken that one year deal, but 224 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: bet on yourself, come out next year, get your twenty 225 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 3: five million a year when you prove that you're starting 226 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 3: tackling the league. 227 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: He also had some bad starts at the end of 228 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: the season when they were on television, including the playoffs, 229 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: those games against the Bears, and in general he played 230 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: his worst when everyone was watching. And so it's kind 231 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: of the opposite of ada f AOA making a bunch 232 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: of money. All Right, we're gonna rip through a bunch 233 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: of these signings that happened before getting to our segment. 234 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Chauncey Gardner Johnson, I always feel better when he's back 235 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: in the league. He's a member of the Buffalo Bills. 236 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: What a weird offseason for the Buffalo Bills. But adding 237 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: a little chaos in the back end my guy that 238 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: I strongly considered to be the one oh one. There 239 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: is something fun to me about him playing in big 240 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: time games again with the Bills. 241 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: I love that you said chaos because I wrote down 242 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 3: the chaos factor. This is what I understand jin Led 243 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 3: wants to do with this is have him play a 244 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: big nickel, have them kind of go kind of base 245 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: hybrid against those eleven personnel kind of three wide receiver looks, 246 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: and so you've got a guy like on paper, this 247 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 3: is a great signing for what he can bring the team, 248 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: like altimate, kind of Swiss army knife kind of guy, 249 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 3: a guy who can use in disguises, do some post 250 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: snap rotation with him, do all that fun stuff. But 251 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: is he going to be a culture fit is the 252 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: question always with CJ. So if there has been some 253 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: kind of you know, coming to Jesus moment and he 254 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: is going to come in and be a great professional, 255 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: then maybe they've gone and got themselves an absolute steal. 256 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: But you also, as much as you can imagine him 257 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: being a competitive, good starter on this team this year, 258 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: you can also imagine him not being on this team 259 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 3: come July. 260 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: That that's been the case for him lately. Every stop 261 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: he has is a little shorter. I think it went 262 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: fine with the Bears, but but he's gone. Speaking of 263 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: the Bears, Jawan Brisker, who who is a really fun 264 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: hitting and safety, is going to the Steelers. That's a 265 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: fun fit for their secondary. They've been very active in 266 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: free agency. The Cowboys signed the starter from the Rams 267 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: at cornerback, Kobe Durant. The Cowboys have been more active 268 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: in general in free agency than they have been usually 269 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: but it's mostly been these low cost deals, like a 270 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: Kobe Durant that's an up to five million dollar contract, 271 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: but he'll have a chance to play a lot. The 272 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Dolphins have been signing a lot of players. They signed 273 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Jamari Solier and the former Cowboys receiver Jalen Tolbert. I 274 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: liked Solier as kind of a versatile probably play a 275 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: tackle position for for not too much money. Was in 276 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: my one oh one and then I'll throw this one 277 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: to you. The Chargers signed Dalvin Tomlinson for seven point 278 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: five million dollars, and a lot of fan bases out 279 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: there would be really angry if they looked at the 280 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: salary cap space that the Chargers had and the chance 281 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl and then look at the 282 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: moves that the Chargers have made. And I was kind 283 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: of thinking, like, why are they so cheap like this offseason? 284 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: And I think part of it is they are really 285 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: from the Baltimore school of doing business, where they pray 286 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: at the altar of the comp picks will. So here 287 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: are a bunch of players that they signed. Tyler Biadas, 288 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: he was cut by Washington, so he doesn't count towards 289 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: cut the COMPIC formula. Keaton Mitchell non tendered by the Ravens, 290 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: doesn't count towards the COMPIC formula. Alec Ingol the fullback 291 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: cut by the Dolphins doesn't count towards the COMPIC formula, 292 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: and Dalvin Tomlinson cut by the Cardinals doesn't count. So 293 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: it seems like they just want to make moves so 294 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: that they can get a bunch of compics, which is fine, 295 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: but I don't know they had they had more needs 296 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: this offseason. 297 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: I would have liked them to be a little more aggressive. 298 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, and I think in a year 299 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: where I know we saw what turned out to be 300 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: the failed Max Cross betrayed to the Ravens, but where 301 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: increasingly those teams at the top end are taking risks 302 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: like teams that want to succeed. We're seeing far fewer 303 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: of the old school packers who we now see you 304 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: going out and making big trades, just seeing far few 305 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: of those teams like the Steelers. The Ravens were seen 306 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: as like build through the draft, develop your own that, 307 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: like the Charges, seems to be the one bastion of 308 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: trying to hold onto that old school technique. But actually 309 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: at the top of the AFC, I think if they'd 310 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: thrown a couple of haymakers, they could be a team 311 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: whore in the AFC Championship Game. Will beyond this year, 312 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: so I'm if I was a Chargers fan, I'd be 313 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: pretty disappointed. 314 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. 315 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: And they've been in the mix, which is always like 316 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: an annoying thing to hear. It sounded like they actually 317 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: really wanted to keep out Zion Johnson at guard that 318 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: they were right there to the end with the Browns. 319 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: Maybe similar money. 320 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: But it was like a taxes thing who like it 321 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: was close in terms of money, and they lost down 322 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: on him because they didn't want to pay all that money. 323 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: I don't blame them for letting a Dafeoway leave. We'll see. 324 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: It's still relatively early in the offseason. A couple other 325 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: nuggets as were taping. Tyler Conklin, the tight end is 326 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: signing with the Lions.

Some big roster concerns after this first wave 447 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: by back on NFL Daily. Still getting used to a 448 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: world where Mike Evans is a forty nine er, Kyler 449 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: Murray is a Viking, Malik Willis is going to be 450 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: starting games all season for the Dolphins. I'm really excited. 451 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: So the depth charts aren't finalized. We got the draft 452 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: coming up. We've got some key guys still available. There's 453 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: about twenty five guys in my top one one still available, 454 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: most at the back end, but some useful players. But 455 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: right now it's going to be time for the off 456 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: season ride along presented by Toyota and what this is 457 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: gonna be. 458 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: Will Is just going back and forth quickly. I'm just 459 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 2: ye looking at the depth. 460 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Right now in wondering what's going on with a couple 461 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: of these kind of holes on the depth. Theret you 462 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: never want to enter the draft a just desperate. So 463 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: give me one to start that you think is a concern. 464 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 3: Okay, So I'll pick the only team who didn't sign 465 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 3: an external free agent so far this year, the Denver Broncos. 466 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 4: They went to an AFC championship game. 467 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 3: Everyone says that if Boonix had been in that game, 468 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: maybe they beat the Patriots, maybe they're in the super Bowl. 469 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 3: But so far their moves have involved resigning JK. Dobbins okay, 470 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: and not really doing much else. And they are desperate 471 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 3: for some deuce. They need a major talent upgrade in 472 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: terms of their weapons. Courtland certain entering is age thirty 473 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 3: one season, Evan ingram less than five hundred yards, like I. 474 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 3: Last year, they were second in drops in the NFL, 475 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: fifth worst in receiving yards by tight ends, bottom half 476 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 3: of the league in terms of rushing yards by running backs. 477 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 3: If there is a team who are desperate for weapons 478 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 3: this offseason, I think it's the Denver Broncos. 479 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, good one. 480 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: And I like the word just weapons as a catch 481 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: all because I I, you know, what I did wasn't 482 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: too complicated. 483 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 2: It just went on. 484 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: Our lads, did the all depth charts thing, looked at 485 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: some of the better teams, and in the end I 486 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: kind of scrolled past Denver because I was like, well, 487 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: they're just the same team as they were a year ago. 488 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: They like, no one looks more similar and they're solid, 489 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: but you're right, they need just more juice, which is why, 490 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: like they would be a fun you know combo for 491 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: for aj Brant. While we're on weapons, then I'm gonna 492 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: throw it out the the Ravens. You know, center right 493 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: now is just wide open, but also just weapons, like 494 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: we're really gonna do this again where Rashad Bateman is 495 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: the wide receiver too, and we don't really have a 496 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: three and Isaiah likely's gone, so that's just a little 497 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: more juice there. Charlie Kohlar, who was like a blocking 498 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: weapon is gone. Linderbaum, who was a running game weapon 499 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: is gone. So I'm stretching the definition. I don't think 500 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: they're done. They're a team that's been excellent with late 501 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: signings like the Chargers might wind up doing that helps 502 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: play the comp pick formula, and so it wouldn't surprise 503 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: me if they're in the trade market. They wouldn't surprise 504 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: me if there are Steffan Diggs team. But just like 505 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: right now, they seem very incomplete upfront, and in terms 506 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: of the weapons. 507 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like the weapons and tight end obviously 508 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: being a key part of that, but also just with 509 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 3: the aera of that line, all the focuses on Tyler 510 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: and Obama. I know they went and got John Simpson, 511 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 3: but Daniel Falela going out of the door as well. 512 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: They're going to want to keep running the ball a 513 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: huge amount. You'd imagine they're going to want to keep 514 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: using Lamar Jackson in that fashion. I just I do 515 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: worry about teams getting interior pressure on them, and I 516 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 3: do think that like that could end up being the 517 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: side of the ball that they really do struggle on. 518 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: I saw they last Max Crasby, good player. 519 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. 520 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: Kind of it really, I mean, supposedly they're trying to 521 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: sign them both. 522 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson apparently said that he was expecting them both 523 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 3: to be there, and there was definitely no pivot. There 524 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: was not a pivot. It was a we try, We 525 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 3: wanted both desperately wanted both. 526 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: By the way, Max Crosby said that told the Raiders 527 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: that you were going to get two hundred percent of 528 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Max Crosby and then he will absolutely be ready for 529 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: a week one, and that Gerald McCoy said he spoke 530 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: to him directly and that they've awoken a beast, to 531 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: which I say, like, I feel like he was pretty 532 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: beastly before, and he was working really hard before. 533 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 2: Is it really gonna be that much different? All right, 534 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: give me another one. 535 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 3: I'd quite like them to work him less hard, to 536 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: be honest, I quite like him to not be on 537 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: the field for every single down. I had a kind 538 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: of similar one, and it's something you mentioned earlier about 539 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 3: about the Chargers. A similar one to my first one, 540 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: but different in terms of position. And actually James Gladstone 541 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: spoke yesterday about for the Jaguars that they are being 542 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: cap conscious and that they are thinking about those comp 543 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: picks and that's how they are approaching this offseason. 544 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 4: They don't want to do anything splashy. 545 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: But I saw what that defense look like when Devin 546 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 3: Lloyd went out when the Rams came and played them 547 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: in London. He missed that game and then the following 548 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 3: two or three afterwards. I know that he's got a 549 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: little bit of that situation we saw with Roken Swift 550 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: and Patrick Queen about him, where maybe Devin Lloyd was 551 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: elevated by Foye Lucom, but they struggled without two guys 552 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: in the middle who could really be difference makers. And 553 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd obviously had huge was a huge, huge, difference 554 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 3: maker in terms of the turnovers, in terms of the 555 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: bull hawking. So I do think like they're back seven, 556 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 3: I'd like another corner there as well. Travis Hunt is 557 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 3: probably going to play most snaps at corner. That's what 558 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: Liam Cohen told us in San Francisco. But yeah, I 559 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 3: do think their back seven and particularly linebacker, looks like 560 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 3: a real gaping hole to me. 561 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, they are four picks in the top one hundred, 562 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: but there are fifty six to one hundred. They have 563 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: three third round picks, yeah, two regular ones, one they 564 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: got that from the Lions, and then a com pick, 565 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, because they made their Travis Hunter trade. 566 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 2: And I have thought. 567 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: About that too, will that like, well, if you trade 568 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas junior, one thing now is you kind of 569 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: are county on Travis Hunter at cornerback, so you know, 570 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: you're not really county on Travis Hunter to fill that in. 571 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: And so yes, in the back end, I'm with you 572 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: they could use a little more juice. But I do 573 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: get team like life cycles that they they pushed pretty 574 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: hard in their first off season and they don't have 575 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: much cap space this season because of some older contracts, 576 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: and they're probably looking ahead, and it's like it is 577 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: okay to kind of go back and forth each year, 578 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: and this year maybe was never shaping up for them 579 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: to be super aggressive. I like it, though, I'm gonna 580 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: go to the Lions edge position. You could have gone 581 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: left tackle too. I had already kind of mentioned that 582 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: on the show that I wanted to get different. 583 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: That these are the edge two and Edge three on 584 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: the Lions. 585 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: Right now, we know who Edge one is, it's one 586 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. Their Edge two 587 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: is a man named Ahmad Hassanin who was a sixth 588 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: round pick from a year ago. And then Tyler Lacey, 589 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: who was like one of those future contracts that they 590 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: like don't really have any edges other than Aiden Hutchinson. 591 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: Like, obviously they're going to get some. 592 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: They're a candidate for some of these guys that are 593 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: kicking around free agency, like Joey Bosa or Cam Jordan, 594 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: did Evan in Clowney, Like there's a bunch of these 595 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: veteran types, and I'm sure the Lines are going to 596 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: sign at least one. 597 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure they're going to draft one too. 598 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: But you know, you have, like like you need four edges, 599 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: and they they kind of made this team build at 600 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: the beginning around, just like line play, line play, line play, 601 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: and yet right now they basically don't have any edges 602 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: and they don't have a left tackle. 603 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 3: I when I first started putting this list together, I 604 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 3: did the same thing as you and went through our 605 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: lads and went through and the number of teams I 606 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: had as edge one or reage two down I know, 607 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: almost send. It's been like I always don't want to 608 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 3: do it because otherwise I'm just going to end up 609 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 3: having the same conversation naming the same four players over 610 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 3: and over again. 611 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 4: But like the whole of the AFC East need an edge. 612 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 3: Seemingly, I think I had ten twelve teams plus who 613 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 3: that was for me, their most pressing need, but that 614 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 3: is they are a prime example them and like the 615 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 3: Bills are the other one that I really had down 616 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: as edge, and I think like wasn't necessarily because I 617 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 3: just I can't buy as much as Bradley Chubb played 618 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 3: seventeen games last year coming off the ACL and had 619 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: eight and a half sacks. He just didn't look like 620 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 3: he had the same get off, didn't look like he 621 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: had the same speed, and it felt like the bills 622 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 3: yet again paying an aging pass Russia who's probably on 623 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: that one contract beyond where they actually want to pay 624 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: him because they're always picking too late to go and 625 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: find their own. And I get that. You know, they 626 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: move on from both, they move on from ag Panessa. 627 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: They but they need somebody really with some juice that 628 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 3: wasn't gonna be one of mine. But just when you 629 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: start talking about Edge Usher, it reminded me how much 630 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 3: that deal just didn't make sense to me. 631 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: Well, those two guys are out there, and they're actually 632 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: two of the highest you know, ranked players I have 633 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: left both and Epinessa Hassan Reddick is still out there, Like, 634 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: these guys aren't going to change your lives, but they're 635 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: good pickups for one year. Kyle van Noy is out 636 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: there kind of a different type of Edge. So there 637 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: are some players and yeah, I guess let's just stay 638 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: with the theme that the Bears I feel like could 639 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: really use a Bosa Orpessa. And they feel like they're 640 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: a little out of According to Adam Schefter, they're out 641 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: of cash, like they are not going to get back 642 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: in the Max Crosby sweepstakes because you know, they spent 643 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: their cap space. They maybe spent their cash according to him, 644 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: but they would be a good team for one of 645 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: these hired guns like a Reddick or a Bosa, because 646 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: that was to me their biggest issue on the team 647 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: to end last year was the total lack of a 648 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: pass rush. And they've done nothing right? Am I missing something? 649 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: Have they done anything in terms of the pass rush? 650 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 4: No, you're absolutely spot on. 651 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 3: And actually it's interesting I because when you started to 652 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: name those guys and you mentioned to me pretty sure 653 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: you might ask me a little bit about the forty 654 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 3: nine ers. I think seeing Bryce Huff deciding that he's 655 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: gonna retire to go and protect from lithium battery fires 656 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 3: like the most kind of bizarre reason for retiring I've 657 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: ever seen, but a huge fan of it, and definitely 658 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 3: no jokes about powertations flowing around. 659 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: A little bit. Explain that. 660 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 3: So you told me you haven't watched the full, like 661 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 3: eight minute long video that you put out after he 662 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 3: said that he could. It was too long to put 663 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 3: in a note. He has designed a protection system which 664 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 3: is going to protect against fires caused by lithium batteries. 665 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: I don't know the science behind it, but he's twenty 666 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 3: seven years old and decided that with two years still 667 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 3: left on his deal with the forty nine ers, he 668 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 3: doesn't want to come back. So I think they're a 669 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 3: sneaky one that even though they brought inos a Diggi 670 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: Zua to get that pressure up the middle and to 671 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 3: try and provide a bit more juice on that line, 672 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 3: I think look to them to once there are the 673 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 3: last two or three of those guys floating around. If 674 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 3: they can get someone for sub ten million for the year, 675 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 3: then I think they definitely will push. 676 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 2: Well, we know one of those guys, right. 677 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 4: We haven't thought that last year though, and it didn't. 678 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: Happen to make the forty nine ers great again. The bones. 679 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 4: No comment. I want to get back. I want to 680 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 4: get back. 681 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: I want to get back into your country, and I 682 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 3: don't want to state my visa always, So I'm not 683 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 3: going to buy on in any way, shape or form. 684 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: How we feel in about the forty nine ers post 685 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: post Mike Evans and o'diggie Zua. You know, we hit that, 686 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: but that happened like right before we started to do 687 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: the show. It was a fascinating trade and I think 688 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: a really good trade for the forty nine Ers. I 689 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: know they lost out on Jonathan Franklin Myers, and I 690 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: know you'd love to have that third round pick, but 691 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: just in terms of the player i'd rather have, oh 692 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: so DIGGI yeah. 693 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 4: One hundred percent. 694 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: And I don't hugely get it from a Cowboys perspective. 695 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: I understand that the theory is that Christian Park is 696 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 3: coming in and it's going to be a completely adjusted 697 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 3: system and he's going to move to three four, and 698 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: they don't think he fits as a kind of nose 699 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: in that situation. But for me, he is the right 700 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 3: age and has the right skill set, arm length, everything 701 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: else that actually I think he could be trained into 702 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: that position, whereas for me it's much more Jerry Jones 703 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 3: has gone well, I don't want to admit that the 704 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: guy that I got coming over as part of the 705 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: Micah Parsons trade isn't the guy I want. I'm not 706 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: going to get rid of Kenny Clark, so I've got 707 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 3: to get rid of one of these tackles to make 708 00:31:59,160 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: some space. 709 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 4: And i'd like you say. 710 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: The pick is semi rich, but I think probably about 711 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: the right price, and I absolutely love it. I honestly 712 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 3: the only one that I haven't got super super excited 713 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: about is the Drake Greenlaw situation, just because I want 714 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 3: to see exactly what the real money is. Seven and 715 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 3: a half million feels like a lot for a guy 716 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 3: who's come off those two injuries, the one with the 717 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 3: forty nine ers and then last year missing time as 718 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 3: well with Denver. If that's actually more like a three 719 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 3: to four million dollar deal with incentives, I'm in. I 720 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: think it's a great, great move for them. But Mike 721 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 3: Evans and Oskizua, both of them had me truly excited 722 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 3: about a free agent signing like I haven't been in 723 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: a long time. Mike Evans just what he does over 724 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 3: the middle of the field suits the Shanahan system so much. 725 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 3: They haven't had a proper X receiver in that system 726 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 3: for so long, and Perdy loves to throw over that 727 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: area of the field. He will enjoy having a big 728 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 3: body who can win. At the point, I'm trying to 729 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: remember who it was who put this out there, but 730 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: no quarterback in the last twelve is Is completed over 731 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 3: fifty percent of his passes into the end zone except 732 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: for Brock Purdy, and now he gets Mike Evans on 733 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 3: top of it. So super super excited about the Mike 734 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 3: Evans signing and a Diggiezour is exactly what they needed 735 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 3: in the middle. They can rotate in those two young 736 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: guys from last year to help with the run game, 737 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 3: Michael Williams off the other side. If they if they 738 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: stay healthy, the biggest if in all of football. But 739 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 3: if they stay healthy, that's a that's a much improved 740 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 3: line from last year. 741 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: What a loaded NFC super Bowl there. 742 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: They feel a little super Bowl or busty just because 743 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: of the age of some of the players. He will 744 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: have kittles coming off that injury, which doesn't help Trent Williams. 745 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: It's been quiet on the trade front. We got to 746 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: assume he's gonna stay there. But the Rams are super 747 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Bowl or bust in the same division, and the Seahawks 748 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: are the defending Super Bowl champions. And that's before you 749 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: even think about the Eagles and all the contenders in 750 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: the North. I just I love how this season is 751 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: setting up. As we're talking. By the way, the Commander 752 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: signed another wide receiver, Van Jefferson. They're just just Diami Brown, 753 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: Van Jefferson, Treylon Burke. They're just throwing dark. 754 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 4: Really stacking up on those wide receiver falls. 755 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's getting ready. I've liked that approach from 756 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: the Commanders this offseason in terms of just dartboards. Yeah, 757 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: a couple of the other ones, and we're going to 758 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: say goodbye. 759 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 2: The Raiders. 760 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: You know, they got a nice three receiver in Jaalen Naylor. 761 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you can be a two. It'd be great if 762 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: they got like a real deal number one at some point. 763 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: The Panthers, I think, still need more weapons. And I 764 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: kind of can't believe the Bengals are trying to win 765 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and running it back with these two 766 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: second year linebackers who were really poor last year for them. 767 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: So that that's one I'm keeping an eye on. I 768 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: don't know if you have any speed round ones before 769 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: we say goodbye and let you get back to taking 770 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: care of your your twins. 771 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 2: On a Friday night. 772 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 3: They're fast asleep. Don't worry about it. I'm going to 773 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 3: go and enjoy my evening. The wife's out. I can 774 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 3: kick up, put my feet up, enjoy my life. The 775 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 3: one that kind of jumped out to me that I 776 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 3: haven't mentioned yet was just I the Chiefs back end 777 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 3: of their defenses, and obviously because of losing trend withcduffy 778 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 3: and because of using Jalen Watson. And yes, I know that, 779 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 3: you know, the great Steve Spagnolo trains guys up and 780 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 3: they can go and pick up guys in the draft, 781 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 3: But I just think the whole of that defense. George Karloft, 782 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 3: this isn't a number one edge, he's a number two. 783 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 3: And Ashton Galote on the other side, or however he 784 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 3: pronounced it if he was in New Orleans. It just 785 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 3: doesn't do it for me. Kiras Tong is a nice 786 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 3: plugger in the middle, but Chris Jones is coming off 787 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 3: another year where he didn't really pick up until past 788 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 3: week ten, week eleven. I just I think that defense 789 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 3: is not looking like it's gonna be a difference maker 790 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 3: this year, and when you're not gonna have your quarterback 791 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 3: for anything from four to nine games. As the report, 792 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. There's a lot of holes there. There 793 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: wasn't one glaring one. I just thought defense. They could 794 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 3: do a whole defensive draft this year, and yeah, I 795 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 3: wouldn't hate it. 796 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: I like the cater Kohu signing a Loewie Gilman. They 797 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: gave good money at safety but at cornerback on outside 798 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: corner right now, it's like Noel Williams and Kristin Fulton, 799 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: who's always hurt, who was a free agent who barely 800 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: played for them last year. 801 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 2: I couldn't have more. 802 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: That's a great shout out to talk about the Chiefs 803 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: defensive players. 804 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's the off season. You're you're making. 805 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: Instagram, you know popular overseas with you.

You know, 819 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 3: it's a lot of nonsense with a little bit of 820 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 3: with a little bit of analysis in there.
