WEBVTT - AFC East Offseason Preview 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.480 Welcome to NFL Daily, where we can only hope we 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.119 look as good as Jimmy Johnson at eighty one years old. Hell, 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:12.879 I hope I'm alive at eighty one years old. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:14.080 Absolutely. 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.639 I'm in the Chris Westling podcast studio and I'm joined 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.759 by my friend Patrick Claybonn. Good to be back in 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.160 person with you, buddy, We're back. 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.080 The travels went well, you guys were killing it at 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.440 the Combine. This was it was an illustrious week of 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:32.839 content and I just know our fearless leader had us 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:33.479 repped well. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:34.000 It was great. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.839 It was really fun out there. And yes, I taped 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.720 a show back in Los Angeles with Nick Shook, who 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.440 you know, was just straight off of Saint Elmo's on 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.599 Sunday nights. I still feel like the Chemtrails of the 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.159 Combine is not quite over yet. In fact, we're going 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.920 to have on Colleen Woolf on our next show and 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.960 she might have some just tails from the combine. 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.000 Just like lathered and cocktail. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.840 Well just she things happen with her and Jordan Rodrigue 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.840 also like, so we'll see, like it's not over yet. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.440 And yet I bring that up to say, like, okay, 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.360 that's just ending and we're six days away from free 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.240 agency starting like it's here. It it never really does. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.440 This is kind of a calm before the storm week, 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.240 and yet there's gonna be a lot of cuts. We 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.280 have a few of those to talk about today. There's 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.120 gonna be some trades. So before the off season starts, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.360 we're gonna go through the AFC East. We went through 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.000 the NFC a couple weeks back. We're gonna go through 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.319 the AFC this week and preview their off season. Throughout 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.319 the week, we're gonna be talking about free agents. Guys 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.640 we want to sign, just moves, we want to see 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.880 stuff like that, and updating you every day on the news. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.720 It is in the name. This is a week where 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.920 I'm happy and believe that the daily format will bear 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.000 fruit for the listeners. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.840 It always has scratched. Sure, don't tell yourself short. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.440 I know, but like May, it's gonna be just like 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.480 a little bit different. We're gonna have fun. But there's 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.120 gonna be a lot of news this week. Let's start 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.760 with it. Darius Slay is no longer a Philadelphia Eagle, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.519 in a move that didn't seem to surprise Darius Slay 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:13.239 but still for some reason surprises me. They cut the man. Yeah, 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.240 thirty four year old coming off a pretty good season. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.720 I went and checked around. I was like, Darius Slay 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.520 was pretty good last year, right, And I went and 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.320 checked people around the team and everything. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.600 I was like, yeah, he was good last year, And 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.840 I have to imagine because there's a path back, but 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.000 just at this juncture to try to figure it out 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.160 before the draft, before free agency, before everything is set, 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.320 to give Darius a chance because he said he only 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.359 wants to play one more year. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.040 Yes, so it would seem it would seem like once 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.360 we've navigated that, there'll be an opportunity for him to 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.800 come back for his final hurrah for the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.200 I'll say that as. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.280 We yeah, as we're talking about him, Like, am I 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.200 jumping the gun on even putting this out there? I mean, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.720 it's one of the top stories on NFL dot Com, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.160 So I don't think so. But then I look at 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.840 his base salary. They're not even really saving any money. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.720 I mean they are if they make him a post 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.000 June first cut, you say, like four million dollars, but 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.040 you gotta wait till June. They're a team that kind 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.839 of needs cap space. Now it doesn't totally make sense 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.760 to me, and then I suddenly am like having flashbacks 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.920 to other Eagles negotiations where they have said they're going 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.919 to cut a guy, but then like Brandon Graham, and 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.160 then it ends up working out in the end. So 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.880 stay tuned. But either way, I think Darius Slay has 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.639 some good football left in him. I do think they 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.600 are fans of the young man Keeley Ringo, who did 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.280 not get a lot to run this year, but apparently 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.480 had a good training camp. Isaiah Rodgers played quite well 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.960 for them. He is a Yeah, he's a free agent, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.280 so he's not necessarily back, but maybe he's someone they 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:42.920 look at. We could bring him back for a couple 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.440 of years, and they like Ringo. So just the cornerback 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.960 position in flux a lot in flux. In Philadelphia, the 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.160 Bengals officially tagged t Higgins. We expected that to happen. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.400 T Higgins doesn't seem like thrilled about all. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.800 No, like, yeah, it's a league wide cost control metric 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.360 that nobody really enjoys. I guess there's in some circumstances 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.000 it can work out for the player, but this is 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.280 you would like long term security. And yeah, I saw 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.600 an article that said, like T Higgins post cryptic message 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.720 on social media and the message was I'll let when 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.640 I know, I'll let y'all know. I'm like, what's the 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.640 cryptic part. It's like, Oh, he's gonna be in a 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.520 bad mood. Well, yeah, like he would like to have 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.440 this thing done. And how many times does he really 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.640 need to say that? It just it feels like sometimes 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.400 these things take unnecessarily long. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.040 That's absolutely true. And you got to be careful with 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.920 what articles you find out there. This is the first 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.840 full NFL offseason with like mass AI articles in the 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.000 wilderness because these last couple of weeks when I'm doing 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.880 my research, you know on Google is part of that tool, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.760 and you got you gotta be careful out there. I 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.960 don't know what's going on. It's sports, keita or what. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.800 I don't know what that is. It seems like it's AI. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840 There's a lot there's a lot of AI articles out 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.640 there that you click on. It's got a decent headline. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.800 I mean, they get you and then you're like, oh wait, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.200 this is just slop regurgitated. 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.760 It's bad, and then so that slop gets ingested into 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.160 the AI right right, and it gets regurgitated as Google's 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.479 very first thing, which is how we wound up with 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.840 that rule that didn't exist last year about on side 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.159 kicks and timing, and everybody's like, oh, the rule book 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:26.880 says you can't do this. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.680 It never said that, It never said that anywhere. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.839 And like, how can I explain this and teach this 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.279 to my children? How are they supposed to be so 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.760 conversant in like figuring out what's It's just very annoying. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.320 Let's move on from that. Oh, I did want to 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.960 bring up to you though you your name came up 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.839 at the dinner table. Oh, over the weekend's never good. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.600 The combine was on and like no one was working out, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:56.880 and my wife thought like, oh, that they should force 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.479 them to do the combine, Like this is this is 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.680 this is trash, like not knowing you know, great is 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.360 working out at the comment anymore. It's just ruining the event. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.159 They should force them. And I was like, well, you know, 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.360 my friend I'm hearing my friend Patrick would tell you 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.279 that this the entire kind of draft system. You know, 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.440 what other industry is there where they're you know, they 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.560 could make a lot more money. But that's capped and 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.760 they can't choose where they go, and so this is 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.280 just one small bit of not fighting back. But like, hey, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.320 you're going to draft me anyways if it's good enough, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.279 So why do I have to do this? 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.400 And to those folks like I share your concerns, pay them, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.080 pay them to do the combine. You get more people 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.520 working out, you get a better show if you would 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:38.480 like more people working out. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:44.040 It's it's unfortunately for the NFL network and for everyone 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.240 who covers it. But if the NFL Scouting Combine becomes 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.279 mostly an event for like picks twenty five through the 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.080 seventh round, those people that they're they're going to be working, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.640 They're going to continue to work out. It's not the 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.119 end of the world. It's still very useful. It's useful 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.479 for other reasons. Obviously that the medical and the interviews. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.400 I think that's what teams get out of it anyways. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.680 But if the on field stuff ends up just being 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.880 kind of rounds two through seven, well that's still most 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.280 of the NFL draft, and that might be what it 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.720 turns out to be, because those guys are gonna want 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.920 to prove themselves. They're Unfortunately they don't have the luxury 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:16.360 to skip it. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.040 I think one thing that might help because we've seen 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.200 multiple incidents where the medicals are an ordeal, like that's 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.440 a lot of time. I think it's invested in a 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.200 truncated week where you're having a lot of conversations. Maybe 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.960 if the medicals were off site and we prioritize the 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.960 workouts and the interviews, maybe that's a path forward. But 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.000 it's a great event and we get to meet guys 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.880 and understand a little bit more about them and see 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.400 them all in the same place. So I think it's 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:40.360 great for evaluation. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.600 Yeah, I think the interview part is great for the 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.120 teams to just get that much. I mean, how many 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.160 people do I make a decision about within the first 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:54.120 fifteen minutes, like most. I think it's funny. Sean McVay 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.640 excited that Matthew Stafford is back. He said he was 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:03.560 sleeping better and Stafford decided to rejoin the Rams. Let's 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.960 listen to a little Sean mcvacebook with the media on Monday. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.480 You know, we've taken it a year at a time 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.200 and he's earned the right, I believe, to be able 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.080 to say, hey, I think he could play for a 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.200 few more years if that's what he wanted. But we've 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.480 always had great dialogue and I think it's really kind 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.480 of been a year to year thing. He's obviously under 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.080 contract for two more years with us, but as long 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.920 as he wants to play, I know we're feeling really 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:24.520 good about that. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.679 Interesting to me. Still a year to year contract, didn't 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.880 rip it up, didn't start a new contract. Still don't 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.400 have all the details. I really think the Rams got 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.000 Matthew Stafford to basically return, and maybe they sweetened it 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.680 a little bit, but it was clear based on the reporting, 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.920 the Giants and the Raiders were willing to essentially guarantee 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.920 two years. The Rams aren't doing that. Based on what 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.400 McVeigh just said, it's a year to year thing and 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.760 we could be revisiting this again. And it's great for 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.600 most parties, I think, if you know, maybe not Matthew 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.600 Stafford's like financial advice, he has slightly less money to 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.360 work with, but everyone else it's great for Yeah. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.440 No, and this was a Philadelphia Eagles team that was 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.840 dominant right throughout the playoffs, and the only moment of 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.920 fear was Matthew Stafford in the snow in Philadelphia right 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.880 in the playoffs, and this team is so much better 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.400 with Stafford, and the idea that you would have this 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.880 very good base of a team now scrounging for the 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.560 Darnolds of the world after living this lap of luxury. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.199 It seems like ridiculous in hindsight, but I think there 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.800 was an opportunity for Matt to maybe do some skiing 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.640 as right as that was with controversy, and I'm glad 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.400 you were in India for that, but also to see 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.880 what these other teams could say so that he could 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.240 come back and he could know and the Rams could 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.280 know that that this matchup was the best for both 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:46.560 of them. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.920 Yeah. I thought it was also interesting that McVeigh confirmed 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.760 Rob Havenstein and Tyler Higbee are both back. Maybe not 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.640 huge names to the general public, but the two guys 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.240 who have been on that roster the longest, and so 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.360 if they were trying to turn over their roster and 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.760 really look to the future, they would maybe be getting 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.680 rid of these guys instead. He's back, Stafford's back. They're 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.240 both probably going to be starting this year, and they 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.080 are definitely looking to contend while getting younger. I really 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.160 think they're going to draft a quarterback this year with 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.760 a second or third round pick, maybe even a first 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.640 round pick. I think they're going to look to the 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.480 future at quarterback. It's a weird draft to do that, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.520 but there are some There are some guys and you 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.000 only have to fall in love with one in the 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.160 second or third round. People connecting Jackson Dart to them, 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.440 We'll see. I just think that this is time for 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.840 them to start working on a new guy. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.920 He did say that it was a very long process 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.280 last time. This time it was significantly shorter. Yes, maybe 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.360 it'll be a couple of days. Yeah, next year, you 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.440 just get Matthew Stafford back. Regardless of what they do 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.400 future quarterback plans, I think Stafford is probably still going 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:51.960 to be pretty good. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.160 Now. Okay, so some titans of our industry in the 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.679 football world have retired over the last week. We're going 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.960 to get to our friend Ron wolf Lee at the 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.280 very end of the show. The Arizona Cardinal is great. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.680 But first we're going to talk a little bit about 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:09.280 Jimmy Johns. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:09.760 Let's do it. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.560 He's been on the air for Fox for thirty one years. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.640 He is eighty one years old. When I looked up 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.679 his age like a year ago. For some reason. I 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.360 was stunned that Jimmy Johnson was eighty, not just because 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.920 his hair, but he's sharp, a lot of energy, you 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.040 know when you see Jimmy Johnson. That's not true for 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.160 everyone that stays on TV forever, but it was true 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.160 with Jimmy Johnson. Just just happy trails, always a pleasant figure 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.000 in the landscape. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.520 Yeah, it spans multiple generations that have no connection with 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.920 Jimmy Johnson as a football coach, especially right at Miami 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.840 right and or with the Dallas Cowboys. They know him 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:51.079 as that you mentioned it, energetic, friendly voice on Sunday mornings, 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.840 and congratulations to at the end of a great career 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.920 navigating triph relationships with Jerry Jones and he finally was 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.520 able to to heal that thing up like that. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.080 That's a very difficult thing to do, and he did 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.480 it in his own term. How about them? Coach? 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.720 He also, you know, worked out alongside Terry Bradshaw and 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:17.640 Howie Long that entire time. My first job in sports media, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.560 I think this is true, was for Fox on the 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.240 Weekends writing shot sheets, as they call him, like a 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.720 floor above Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw. But for James 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.360 Brown and mostly Terry Bradshaw to read while they did 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.240 their highlights around two thousand and one, two thousand and 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.719 two summers or football seasons, I believe. Yeah, the two 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.679 thousand and one season was the first one, and that 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.160 was that was a lot of fun. And it was 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.240 the same guys back then. They were they were beloved. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:46.320 Everyone just loved them. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.720 Yeah, It's it's rare to keep keep a squad together 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.960 for that long. So congratulations, And now what are we doing? 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.559 What's Fox going to do? Are they putting in that? 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.840 I mean, they can live without. They have like seventeen 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.120 guys on that right now. It seems like it'd be 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.719 time for Terry bratch Out to step away, but I 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.360 think that's gonna be up to him. They're loyal to him. 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.000 He's so he's still there, Howie long still there, gronks 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.240 there unless he is back in the NFL. Like, they 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.040 got a lot of dudes. A couple just quick items. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.080 The Packers signed Isaiah mcduffee two years, eight million dollars. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.959 There's a lot of three down linebackers available. I was 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.240 thinking about that one because there's not really many guys 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.120 in the draft that are highly thought of like that 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.320 might be the number one position to not draft unfortunately, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.199 because it's so hard, it's so hard to get good 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:40.920 at it quickly that players really are better by the 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.400 time they get to their end of the contract and 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.000 for some reason, they're all on they're all available. There's 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.439 like seven or eight really good three down linebackers available. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.640 The Packers decided not to go that route, but they 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.160 like Isaiah mcduffee and they got them for cheap. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:54.480 Yeah. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.400 It feels like a lot of teams are trying to 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.080 up on value on linebackers and they want like edge 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.760 rush potential. So you get a lot of guys that 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.360 are like, like, coming in this year, jahe hot Campbell 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.000 is going to get a lot of attention. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.520 He's probably a first round pick after that. 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.959 Yeah, not many, Yeah, and so like it's not necessarily 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.679 that level of player an athlete, but you get a 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.880 lot of guys, Well, we can get edge rush value 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.160 in this guy, but this guy is just a just 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.800 a linebaker. But like that idea of just a linebacker, 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.040 I feel like it is going to be falling out 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.720 of vogue after a few teams in situations where it's 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.040 like we really need people to be able to execute 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:30.680 at this position. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.280 So hopefully the cycle is coming. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.880 Back, and there's just less of them. To be fair, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.680 it used to be there was three of them on 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:41.680 the field. Now there's two. Sometimes there's one. But just 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.000 a recap, you guys can check out the top one 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.360 to one free agents Zach Bond, Nick Bolton, two big 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.000 time players Ernest Jones who turned the Seahawks season around. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.800 Those are all Super Bowl champions. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.560 Dray green Law, who's one of the better linebackers the 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.200 last five or six years. Jamie and Sherwood, who was 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.000 the Jets team MVP last year as voted by the 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.120 players on the team, over Sauce Gardner, over Aaron Rodgers, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.000 over anyone else that would have been in contention for 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.840 that good player. Robert Splane who who had a great 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:18.280 career revival with the Raiders, Bobby Wagner, Levonte, David Kaizer White, 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.000 who I had someone tell me what's a top eight 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.000 linebacker in the league. I was like, I love Kaizer White. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.080 That's pretty bold. Tyrol Dodson is a good player. E 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.560 J Speed, like Cody Barton. There's just Willie Gay. There's 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.880 lots of guys out there at that position. So I 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.400 just thought I would highlight that as one comes off 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.880 the board, and then yeah, a couple other cuts out there. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:43.080 Alex Kappa, for instance, with the Bengals is no longer 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.840 and people immediately saying like, oh, let's sign Alex Kapa. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.040 If the Bengals are cutting you as an offensive lineman 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.400 like they need offensive lineman, that's not a great sign. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.360 So he is not going into my one oh one 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.240 because to me, that is a red flag that in 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:56.080 his PFF score. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.840 But you could make the case though, in support of 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:05.040 Alex Kappa, the Bengals financial situation maybe devoted elsewhere here 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.400 for a little bit, and maybe to Tea maybe that's yeah. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.600 But if he was, if he was like an above 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.120 average starter, you're just not going to cut him. His 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.720 number is not too great, not too crazy. All right, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.200 we're going to take a quick break. We're going to 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:23.560 preview the AFC East off season, and yes we're going 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:36.960 to honor mister Wolfe before the show is over. Back 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.080 on NFL Daily and back in the mix with my 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:47.120 friend Patrick, previewing the off season before it really gets 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:51.640 going in less than a week. Crazy, So we got 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.440 to get these divisions in and we are going to 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.000 a division that's near and dear to my heart, to Eric, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:02.120 our producer's heart, a division the Bills have absolutely dominated 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.560 for the last five years. Pretty good, pretty good. They 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.520 want to take the next step, but you know, enjoy 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.000 the good times while they're here. Eric, We're going to 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.399 put seven minutes on the clock and we're going to 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.439 go through all four of these teams breaking down what 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.119 they need to do this offseason. Let's hit it. Patrick, 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.359 O'll kick us off with a question. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.280 Yeah, so we get a team that is in the 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.160 red one of six teams that are in the red 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.240 salary cap wise as of right now. You get one 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.640 shot at a restructure for an under thirty year old 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.120 Josh Allen still twenty eight years old. You get one 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.760 shot at a restructure. What do you prioritize here with 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:43.280 this money, with this again just winning an MVP peak 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.000 in the problem of his career. You've got some spots 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.439 on the team, corner, defensive line, wide receiver. Where do 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.959 you start with? The limited opportunity of restructure provides you 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:55.920 on a team that could have won the Super Bowl 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:01.440 last year. Right, But because it's football, randomness happens that 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.240 you know that you don't need to do a lot, 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:04.440 so what do you do with it? 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:11.760 I think you prioritize defensive difference makers, primarily in the front, 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.879 and that that kind of brings up, you know, another 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.879 way they can make some room, which is cutting von Miller. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.320 I think that's going to happen. I don't know. If 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.240 they restructure Josh Allen's contract this year, they actually might 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.800 wait another year until, like the money goes up. There 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.160 are a couple guys who have some long term deals 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.399 that they can, you know, squeeze some money, you know, 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:37.280 some coins from the couch or whatever. At Oliver is one, 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.800 I believe Dion Dawkins is another one. They actually make 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.400 pretty similar base salaries to where Josh Allen is right now. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.840 So yes, the bills are ten million over the cap 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.280 as we talk. But between those restructures in von Miller, 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.840 they'll they'll be able to do it. And yet they 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.119 are a team where I think it affects them because 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.879 I feel like they have a lot of work to do. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.240 We'll get to it. Overall, to me, it's it's a 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.000 little more juice in the front, because maybe it's unfair 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.119 to count on Josh to just make everyone better around him. 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.720 But I think that's working pretty well. The offensive line 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.000 is in good shape too. Yeah, the offensive. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.080 Line is it's a rarity right when you look around 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.760 the league to see the teams that are in contention, 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.080 have these you know, solid guys up front that aren't 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:22.320 necessarily agent like you got. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.119 They're going to be in year three of this exact 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.840 same offensive line. So it's crazy. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.080 So it ain't broke, But my question is right because 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.120 they are so close, it just feels like you can't 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.280 afford not to try right right, and so like along 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.800 with making the changes, whatever changes you want to make 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.480 to Vaughan's deal, that's one thing, But Josh is the franchise. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.840 This one, Like, a restructure is not a bad thing. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.320 It just depends on when you want to. 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.679 Do it right. It's just when you feel like you 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.880 can create the most room. So they could restructure more 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.440 than one. Certainly they need to create open space part 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.439 of the reason. And now transition to some of the 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.760 stuff they can do thinking ahead, They've already resigned Khalils 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.879 Shakir and I was like, wow, that was early, and 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.680 then I looked how many of their players are up 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.880 for free agency next year. It's crazy Christian Benford who 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.920 has evolved into a number one cornerback, a really good player, 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:16.360 Greg Russou. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.000 Got to keep them. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:25.160 I mean they keep everyone, James Cook, Trull Bernard, maybe 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.919 they don't do an early deal with him. That's a 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.359 lot of their best players are up next season. So 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.520 they are in a really tricky spot. All I'm saying 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.560 is you got to add to this roster. Those guys 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.239 are already there, and you're thinking about next year, and 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.640 you're thinking about filling the holes in free agency from 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:41.719 the guys that are leaving this year. 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.639 Yeah, it's just that there's not much to add, Like 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.399 I don't think that there's this like oh, because I 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.480 understand the feeling that they got to take a next step. 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.240 Like they're there, They're a good. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.200 Tention, right, So so how do you facilitate this roster 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.040 in the best way to be to do what they 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:01.040 need because they're not far. I think some talent in 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.040 the secondary, some talent, some extra talent in depth at 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.760 Russia or the in the interior next to Ed Oliver 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.199 takes them where they need to be. 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:12.960 I just don't feel like they can afford to wait. 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.040 Right, And so Matt Collins, who contributed quite a bit 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:17.960 to them last year, and a Mari Cooper are both 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.760 free agents. I don't think they're necessarily keeping Amari Cooper, 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.560 but they have Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, and Kean Coleman 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.719 under contract next year. You probably want to add at 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:34.680 least one receiver. They have two guys in my top actually, 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.359 Tamar Hamlin just missed my top one oh one. In 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.480 my top one oh five. Razuel Douglas, who I think 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.960 might be Leaving's kind of just been up and down there, 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.120 so you need another cornerback. And Damar Hamlin. We'll see 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.320 if they bring him back or not. They have drafted 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.600 at that position with Cole Bishop and have some guys 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.879 who have played for them, so it would be a 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:58.199 shame to see him play elsewhere. But yeah, sometimes I 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.240 think there's this feelings like we got to make a 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.360 big push, but it's like you are there. They've done 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.919 a good job balancing that throughout the last handful of years, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.720 will staying right at the top, and yet like there's 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.119 it's not an easy offseason for this team without a 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.720 lot of cap space, and you would like a little 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:17.520 more juice from that wide receiver room other than Kean 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.159 Coleman just getting better. 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.240 Right, And I think it helps to to go ahead 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.880 and lock up Shakira, get that figured out. You can 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.159 maybe save some money and relying on Mike White and 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.359 not necessarily have Mitchell Trubisky. I mean that's a smaller 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.200 und three million dollars, but ultimately, like you look, you 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.600 can get good contributing players in that three to five 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.399 million dollar range. And so like if the whole plane's 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.679 built out of Josh anyway, I think it would be 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:46.040 tough to rely and project kyer Elm because I know 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.560 he can grow, right to project that growth for him, 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.000 you could not like a not saying like somebody like 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.280 a Sante Samuel Jr. Is like a bargain basement guy. 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.480 But you can draft the corner and bring in not 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.560 top tier free agents but on down the list because 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:04.880 I know, like like somebody like Byron Murphy right would 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:06.679 be be a dream. But I don't I don't think 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.560 they're in that. I don't think Murphy DJ Reid range right. 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.720 I don't think they're gonna be spending huge maybe one 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.880 like I think they would spend more on the edge 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.960 if they were gonna spend some money and then maybe 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.199 at receiver. We'll see. By the way, they have an 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:28.640 extra second round pick from the Vikings did a good 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.280 bit as business part of that Dallas Turner trade where 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.040 the Vikings, like you know, basically gave up like a 0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:37.719 Miles Garrett package to draft Dallas Turner. We'll see how 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.640 that works out. But they do have an extra second 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.920 round pick, so that that is nice for the Bills. 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.880 They do not have their third round pick. They are 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.040 missing that. They gave it last year to the Eagles. 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.720 One of those that always a year later, you're like, oh, 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:53.680 I gave a twenty four to fourth for a twenty 0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:55.199 you know, once you get to the next year, it's 0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.480 very annoying. But they they did one of those where 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.240 they got an extra pick last year. All right, let's 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:04.200 go to the New York Jets. Twenty three million dollars 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:08.639 in cap space. There we go, so about average in 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:11.600 terms of how it goes this year. They have no 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:15.640 third round pick because of the DeVante Adams trade. That's 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.720 not aging particularly well. But I didn't have a problem 0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:19.920 with it at the time, so I'm not going to 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:21.520 say I had a problem with it now, but they 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.080 do have Detroit's third round pick that they got in 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:26.880 one of those similar swaps. I was just talking about 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.080 last year where the Detroit wanted to move up and 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.000 they got an extra third, So they basically have a 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:38.359 normal array of picks. Look, my question for this team 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:42.520 is where do they go at quarterback? Weirdly, the Jets 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.479 have not been talked about much in terms of the 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:49.880 quarterback position, like they were not in on Stafford like 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.360 the Giants were. When you're hearing about Darnold for obvious reasons, 0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.919 They're not really talked about there. So I mean, I 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.919 am curious what their approach is going to be at. 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:03.200 Court Tock Dimes returns to. 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:05.760 Now you got to get him out of the city 0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.240 for his own sake. Yeah, I know you're always saying, well, 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.119 New York's just another place to play, but I just 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:15.400 feel like he needs a new start. Maybe like can 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.800 he go back to Duke, you know, something like that. 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.440 You know, the Panthers just hang out with he Brices 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:22.680 back up or something, or the Colts, you know like that. 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.200 That makes sense to me. Just something quiet, something where 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.360 you can just go play foosball at night. 0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:32.440 I don't know, there's it feels there is talent right 0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:34.160 on the same I mean twenty percent of the cap 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.560 over twenty percent of the cap as of right now 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.040 is devoted to DeVante and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah right, and 0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:45.399 so like there's there's some level of hope, like but 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.960 they're like nobody's gonna put them on fraud Watch next 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:51.600 year because like it's it's argument. 0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.920 The rosters looks terrible to me. So I mentioned there's 0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.600 twenty three million in cap space. We talked about the 0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:03.760 DeVante Adams potential cut and or trade on our last show. 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.320 They can save thirty million dollars just by cutting DeVante Adams. 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:10.440 That's old school, that's kind of fun. Like that means 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:13.919 there weren't all these crazy restructures. You know, if they 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.320 trade them, they save plenty as well, and you get 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.400 something back. It'd be over twenty But like they say, 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.400 they save thirty just by cutting them. So right there, 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.119 now you have fifty three million in cap space. Rogers, 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.399 you could actually make the decision to eat all of 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:30.119 his dead money this year because you opened up so 0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.840 much with DeVante, or you could spread it out if 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:35.520 you chose to. So they have options. They will have 0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.720 more than enough money to spend, and to me, it's 0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.680 easier to say what they have versus what they need 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.440 because much like the next two teams we're going to 0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.840 talk about the Dolphins in the especially the Patriots, they 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:52.280 have needs almost everywhere. Here's what the Jets do. Have 0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.720 a really great young running back room, don't need to 0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:59.040 add to that. Like them, a sneaky gray interior offensive line. 0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.480 John Simpson was free agent pickup who played fine for them, 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.560 Joe Tipman, who they like was a young center, and 0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.720 Elijah Arrah Tucker. So that you've got your interior line, 0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:12.560 that's about it. You also have premier talent, but that doesn't, 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.280 you know, fix your whole position. So you have three 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.359 guys who I would say are absolutely premier players, Quinn Williams, 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.160 Sauce Gardner, and Garrett Wilson, two of whom are up 0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:25.000 for new contract extensions potentially this offseason. And other than that, 0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.320 like you really don't have a lot. You have to 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:31.080 replace almost your entire secondary. You have a ton of backups. 0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.760 Both your tackles are free agents, your tight ends free 0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:37.160 agent Hassan Raddick who they brought in as a free agent, 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.680 Jamien Sherwood's a free agent, like DJ Reid is one 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.320 of my top free agents at cornerback. Like you have 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.400 a lot of big time needs, and you have more 0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.679 guys from the old regime you might cut. So this 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.359 is a team that I think is a little closer 0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.680 to starting over than maybe people realize. 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.160 So when you say starting over, would would that mean 0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:58.520 that like a Garrett Wilson or a Sauce Gardner would 0:27:58.600 --> 0:27:59.760 be like trade candidate. 0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.200 No, because I think that what's the point of trying 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.600 to find good play you want to build around them. 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:07.199 But what I mean is there are other guys I 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:10.160 didn't mention that you could say are likely gone. Alan Lazard. 0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.560 I don't think he's going to be around Tyron Smith. 0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.160 I don't think he's going to be around DJ Reid. 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:18.040 Are they going to pay to keep Maybe? Actually, like 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.440 they have the money to do if they liked it. 0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.000 Aaron Rodgers, like all these positions, all these got. Morgan 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:27.080 Moses was their starting rate tackle. He's a free agent. 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:30.600 You only have like five, six, seven starters when I 0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:33.240 look up and down the list, that's kind of crazy. 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.720 It's actually one of the lower numbers in the entire league. 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.320 So the Jets, they're really going to test their new 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.520 general manager, Darren Muji. 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:45.520 You do get Jermaine Johnson hopefully back after the injury, 0:28:46.080 --> 0:28:48.040 so you get some talent back there. 0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:51.480 Like there's Olufashionu looks like a left tackle starter for 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:51.959 the future. 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:57.200 There's places to make this team viable. But whether it's 0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:00.640 you know, trying to make a case for Kirk, you know, 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:05.080 over over Cleveland, maybe that that that what's your whistle 0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:06.120 a little bit more than dimes. 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:09.520 Perhaps, Yeah, they if people forgot the Jets, you know. 0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:11.480 Of course, with Aaron Glenn as the new head coach, 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:15.320 hired a man named Tanner Engstron as his offensive coordinator, 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:19.200 a young, up and coming, innovative mind. By all accounts 0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:21.720 that was a passing game coordinator for the Lions, and 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.600 so Aaron Glenn knew him there. And if Aaron Glenn 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:26.600 is like his old boss Dan Campbell, he's he's good 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:30.680 at finding the right people to hire. But man, they 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.520 are really kind of starting over from scratch, and it's 0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.360 there's just a little bit there's a little bit of 0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.880 bad buzz about Darren Moujie. I'm gonna say it, like 0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:43.960 not much of a presence at the Comonium combine buzz. Yeah, 0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:47.360 a little bit. Oh no, just like was maybe a 0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:54.440 surprising hire that some people might interpret that a guy 0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:58.200 that's hired so that other people can kind of be 0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:00.560 more powerful. I don't know who that would be exactly. 0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.120 I mean Aaron Glenn would be number one. That's maybe 0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:05.040 more of the Aaron Glenn Show. They also hired Rick 0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:09.840 Spielman from the thirty third team as a special advisor. 0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.680 He's a long time and quite successful general manager. By 0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.360 the way, with the Vikings and Mujie, there was a 0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:17.040 little bit of buzz of like was he a guy 0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:19.720 that was even on the outs in Denver? I don't know, 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:21.640 just a little bit of a strange situation. There's always 0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:25.000 something strange with the Jets. Just throwing that out there. 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:28.880 I believe in Darren Muji. Okay, the combound buzz is 0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:30.120 not convincing me. 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.040 Okay. My main point though, is this is a team 0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:36.400 that has a lot to address wide receiver. After Garrett 0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:40.520 Wilson both tackle spots, your quarterback spot, you still need 0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.520 a little more at edge. We're kind of back to 0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.120 the old Jets phrase. You know, they haven't had a 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.040 pass Ressueran a while. Well, they have had some recently, 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.520 but they don't have one right now on the edge. 0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:53.160 And yeah, most of their secondary, including their entire safety group. 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:56.760 So a lot of needs for the Jets. Let's go 0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:03.440 to the Miami Dolphins. I'm on the clock, Patrick, kick 0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:03.840 us off. 0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:06.560 The Dolphins do not have the burden that the Bills do. 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:08.560 They are not in the Red. 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.000 They are four hundred and twenty two thousand dollars away 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.280 from being in the red, dead last in the NFL 0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:18.360 among teams that have some simbilance of cap space right now. 0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:22.240 The team plagued by injuries. Bradley Chubb injured in his 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:26.720 time there. There was a reduced capability by both Tyreek 0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.960 Hill and Jalen Waddell to his bouts with brain injuries 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.800 of course a pre eminent issue in the minds of 0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:40.160 Dolphins fans. At what point are the McDaniel era Dolphins 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:43.200 a question of whether or not they're viable? 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.840 Yeah? Right now? Now is the point. Now they're in 0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.280 the off season, and they managed to be good enough 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:55.000 last year that yeah, they were competitive, But going through 0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:59.680 this exercise and thinking about all that they need, I 0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:03.120 started to think, Man, this is under the radar team 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:06.240 to be picking in the top five next year if 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:08.400 they don't have a really good offseason now. Chris career, 0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.920 he's had some bad off seasons, he's had some great offseasons. 0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.040 Like it's been up and down. The drafts mostly have 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:18.960 not been amazing. He needs to have his best off 0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:23.800 season now because I think their offensive line, their entire 0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:26.880 safety group, like they're a team that where if you 0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.640 look at their backup position, for instance, on our lads, 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:32.600 like it's all in the red. They just need a 0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.880 lot all at once, and don't They don't look especially 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.520 viable right now to me, which is why this is 0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.520 an important off season and exercise. Doesn't mean you can't 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:43.320 you fill in a lot of holes, but they're gonna 0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.479 have to find some money to do so. 0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.360 And it's weird because normally you look at a team 0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:51.480 in a cap situation like this and it's like, oh, well, 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:53.720 like for the with the Bills, you look at von 0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:55.360 Miller and it's just kind of jumping out at you. 0:32:55.720 --> 0:33:01.200 But like the Tyreek Dill not like you right. 0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:04.160 Yeah, would you really want to restructure Tyrek o? The 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.640 trade talk has kind of quieted down, but you never 0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:08.560 know Jalen. 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:12.360 Ramsey has played well and been a good part of 0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:16.239 this defense, and they got huge contributions because like this 0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:19.040 time last year, like Chop Robinson was the workout warrior 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.000 and you're just hoping to get a little bit of production. 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:22.680 In terms of that, that. 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:24.880 Was a huge success, great pick. He looks like a 0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:25.480 future star. 0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:29.560 But even considering those those bonuses, the team is still 0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:33.240 still where it is, and you've got so many spots, 0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:38.040 whether it's at cornerback, whether especially on the offensive line 0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:41.760 where you know Toront Armstead is you know, delaying this 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.280 kind of retirement stay go decision. 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.960 There is an update on that. He did restructure his 0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:49.240 contract and so that hasn't shown up on over the 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.400 cap and yet that should free up twelve thirteen fourteen 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:54.400 million dollars in cap space a little and clear how 0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:58.840 much it'll be he according to Ian Rappaport, he is 0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:03.400 now going down to the minimum salary to, in Ian's words, 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.800 delay his decision, keep the door open if he wants 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:09.200 to return. But often that's actually an accounting maneuver that 0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:11.360 teams that don't mind spending a little extra cash. This 0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.440 is what an owner that likes to spend can do 0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:18.040 for you ultimately an accounting maneuver to open up cap 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.360 space when Toront Armstead has probably gone to retire and 0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:24.960 Steven Ross, who has had his mistakes as Dolphins owner, 0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.359 for sure, is not afraid to spend. It's the reason 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:32.600 why the Dolphins finished tied for first in the NFLPA 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:35.960 players certainly because their facilities are so nice and all 0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.640 the players are treated well and so credit to him, 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.480 and so he's gonna They're gonna find a way to 0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.759 spend the money. And yet it's just hard to find 0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:46.439 enough good players to put onto this team. 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:48.879 Yeah, that's the issue at the spots where they need them. 0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.440 I think they got good contributions from Patrick Paul. I 0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:55.279 don't know how much you can rely on town on 0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:56.360 like how much. 0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.600 He is probably their left tackle. So Patrick Quall was, Yeah, 0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:00.160 their second round pick from a year ago. 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.719 And so you get good contributions from from a rookie there. 0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.319 But there's there's more work to be done than there 0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:09.799 is than there's work that that can be done on 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:10.320 this roster. 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:12.000 And you're gonna have to have everybody come back. You're 0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:12.360 gonna have to. 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:14.719 Have relationships mended with Tyreek, You're gonna have to have 0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:19.080 guys get healthy like Bradley Chubb and you know, Jalen 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:22.399 Waddle and keep two on the field all season, and 0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:25.399 then you may just be in this situation again next. 0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:25.719 You know. 0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.520 Offense, I don't think they're far away. I should. I 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:30.359 should be careful when I say offensive line. You need 0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:32.800 Patrick Paul to play well, but you drafted him in 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.480 the second round to be your left tackle. That's probably 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:36.760 what he's gonna be. You need to fix the entire 0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:40.080 guard position, and they've been trying to do that for 0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.120 years and haven't been able to do it. So they 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:44.560 need multiple guards. But they got a free agent pick 0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:47.520 up last year. They liken Aaron Brewer. They've signed Austin Jackson, 0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:49.360 who's been up and down, but you know he's signed 0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:52.560 long term. And your skill position guys for the most part, 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.560 are all back. They cut Raheem Moster, but you need 0:35:55.560 --> 0:35:57.800 a healthy to it. But you have Wattle and Tyreek. 0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:00.879 You don't have any depth there in general, but that's 0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:04.240 been the case. It's defense where we receiveing more key players. 0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.160 Javon Holland's one of my top safeties that's available. Jordan 0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.399 Poyer didn't quite work out with him, So you need 0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:12.640 a couple of safeties. You could use a cornerback. Kalais 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.719 Campbell as a free agent was very valuable that you 0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:18.400 need some defensive lineman right now. In terms of upfront 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.920 guys on the defensive line, Zack Steeler is literally the 0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:24.600 only guy in the entire roster, which is a little problematic. 0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.759 I mean, if I'm not counting Chop Robinson, who's more 0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:28.600 of an edge. But when they are in like a 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.919 base three four, it's like Zach Seeler and a couple 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.279 guys that are that are free agents, so they just 0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:35.360 have a lot of work to do. And it's a 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:39.000 tricky situation where Chris ge Greer is definitely trying to 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:43.719 keep his job and Mike McDaniel needs a big year 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.680 back last decade, every once in a while, the Dolphins 0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:48.760 would pop up as that team that just went crazy 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.480 in the offseason. Maybe they're that team this offseason. Do 0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:53.919 you think so they'll just find a way to do it. Yeah. 0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:56.520 I don't know how or what, but they seem desperate, 0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:59.319 don't you. I think this roster is in desperate need 0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:01.279 of so good players. 0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:06.399 I think in terms of our positionally that they they've 0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:09.799 gone in the Jhona Smith is a great pickup. I 0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.080 think I've a spectacular I think they need another tight end. 0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:17.239 They need a blocking tight end, or just invest in 0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.359 the interior of the offensive line. But with what with 0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:23.400 what money? You know, maybe you draft. 0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:26.279 Three guys restructure some of these deals. Bradley Chubb I 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:28.799 think will be cut. That is my prediction. I'm not 0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:30.960 not rooting for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if 0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:34.839 Bradley Chubb got cut to open up some space. If 0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:37.479 only you could trade cap space, because yeah, let's wrap 0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:42.640 up with the Patriots. You can, can you could they 0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:43.040 just like. 0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:44.719 You, trade it to the player and compensate. 0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:47.640 Well, there you go. Could they trade like fifteen million 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.520 dollars of their cap space to a team that needs 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.000 it for a fourth round pick or something? That would 0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:55.280 be cool because the Patriots have too much cap space. 0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:57.799 They have one hundred and twenty seven million dollars in 0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.719 cap space. That's ridiculous. They have the number four pick 0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.759 in the draft because they beat the Bills backups in 0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:09.960 Week eighteen. It was their backups mostly too, but still annoying. Man, 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:12.760 they could just be at one and just draft Travis 0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:16.080 Hunter or trade. If someone wanted to trade for camp Warden, 0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:17.919 maybe they could get Travis Hunter. That's who I want. 0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:20.640 They have an extra third round pick from the Matthew 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:23.680 Judan trade. So everyone in New England who's picking on 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:27.920 Elliot Wolf, they hate Elliott Wolf for whatever reason. I 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.239 guess he had a bad year. That's something good he 0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:35.400 did for you. What do the Patriots prioritize first? Because 0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:40.279 it's almost overwhelming everything they need, But what like, what 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:46.440 is the over arching vision of this new Rabel Elliot Wolf? 0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.239 But we don't really necessarily think that Elliot Wolf is 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.479 the one with the juice. I think it's Rabel who's 0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:52.759 kind of running this organization. 0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:56.040 I think it's the interior of the offensive defensive lines. Okay, 0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:59.279 they go straight to NFL dot com slash Rosenthal, they 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:01.239 get on the top one on one and they and 0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:04.399 they call guys like Cam Robinson right that they make 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:10.440 these these calls out to tackles and guards who aren't 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:12.879 necessarily like the top of the market guys, but who 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.320 have played on contending teams in the past and played 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:18.680 so at a decent level to where you can just 0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:23.439 get and again not value shopping but getting players who 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.799 are good on this football team. 0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.200 Ronnie Stanley buzz Yeah. 0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:30.480 Ronnie Stanley would be one hundred and twenty seven million dollars. 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:32.440 I think, like I think back to last week right 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.640 where you asked Ryan Poles kind of team have too 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:37.560 much cap space? And then he scared both of us 0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:40.239 because he's like, well no, and it's like, wait, no, no, 0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.200 you want to spend the money. You and I understand 0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:46.120 you can roll it over to next year. Yeah, but 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.880 there's only so many years that are available to do 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:51.080 something like this, and so you have all that money, 0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:53.040 why not as much as I would love Ronnie Stanley 0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:55.439 to be playing for the Baltimore Ravens next year, Yeah, 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:58.520 you make him an offer, and you you know, you 0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:03.920 change your team because, like Drake May is all that matters. 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:08.560 Like I've learned this in weeks of discussing this with you. 0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.720 So yeah, you make Drake May as protected as possible. 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:15.279 Now you want a positive Yeah, not a lot of 0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:18.000 impact free agents on this team. 0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:21.680 That's the good news to the bad news. 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:26.399 Yeah, Jacobe Brissette, they need a backup quarterback, although they 0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.239 probably find and rolling with Joe Milton. You kind of 0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:31.720 like to have a veteran in there, maybe I would. 0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.959 The New England media actually tried to pedal this whole 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:40.359 Joe Milton is available. That didn't really catch, Like would 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:42.799 someone give up like a third for Joe Milton and 0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:45.440 they would do that because Joe Milton looked pretty sweet. 0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:47.719 I feel like some Centtans would give up with a 0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:48.399 three or four. 0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:50.400 Okay, I think they would do that for maybe not. 0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.480 I think the Patriots would do that. They would just 0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:55.280 feel like they're selling high. I don't know why. I 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:58.680 have a good young quarterback Jonathan Jones who's been there 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:02.880 forever I feel like will probably wind up leaving Dititch wise, 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.680 not a lot of big names in terms of guys 0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:09.160 that could be leaving. Devon Gottscha was also reported as 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.279 available for a trade, so it looks like he will 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:14.880 probably be released if they do not find a trade 0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:18.520 for him or Joe Milton. And yeah, people have this 0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:22.799 idea that I think, you know, Mike Rabel, you got 0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.920 to take a tackle early or it's all about like 0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:29.319 protecting Drake May and improving everything around. I hope that's 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.600 the case, because when I think Mike Rabel, I think 0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:34.920 he's just gonna want big, nasty like defensive players, and 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:37.320 he's just going to want to make his defense as 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:39.400 big and as athletic as possible. 0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:42.320 I don't know if the Patriots roster is good enough 0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:46.200 to try to like pick at a position of you know, 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:50.800 personal desire, like like the way Kyle Shanahan drafts, like 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:54.520 the late rounds. I think they really can just and 0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:57.000 it's cliche, sit there and take the best player on 0:41:57.040 --> 0:42:02.040 the board, which I think right Travis Hunter would would 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:02.439 be nice. 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:05.680 I would love that. Give me some Travis Hunter. Kean 0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.319 White should be back. He kind of had problems with 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.160 the old regime. Christian Barmore. They don't know because of 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.760 his blood clout situation. So there really aren't many positions 0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:18.239 where you feel like you're a set maybe guard if 0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.279 they believe Cole Strange and Mike when you like there's 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.680 a couple of guards. You've definitely got enough number three receivers, 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:27.640 You've got like four of them, but you need some 0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:32.799 number two and number one receivers. It's a little anxiety 0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.160 inducing as a Patriots fan though, to see all that 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.000 cap space and just think they're going to be the 0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:40.080 team that feels like because they could spend sixty million 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:43.800 dollars in that cap space and they'd still have sixty 0:42:43.960 --> 0:42:46.680 left over. And there's not like sixty good million out 0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:50.640 there to spend. Really, I don't know, is there you can. 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:53.200 You can make the offers sixty more than sixty million 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.080 dollars is going to be spent in free agency here 0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:57.319 in the next couple of weeks, right correctly? 0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.880 So, I mean, and like you know, but even if 0:42:59.880 --> 0:43:01.759 you signed like a Ronnie Stanley, how much is he 0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:04.359 costing on this year's cap? You could also front load 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:07.200 things to just since you have all that kind of space, 0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.239 use it that way. But either way, like there's not 0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.160 enough good players out there to spend all that money. 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:17.319 I really, I really am curious how this is going 0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:19.960 to go. For Elliot Wolf and Mike Rabel in New England. 0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.399 You probably don't know about this, but there's like all 0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:25.560 this controversy of like why does Elliott Wolf say he 0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:27.799 has final say? Why is he speaking at the GM 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:30.640 Elliot Wolf people are very angry about and they just 0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.319 want Mike Rabele to be in charge, and like why 0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:35.560 does Elliot Wolf have the final say? And first of all, 0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:39.000 is like Mike Rabel probably ultimately does like he has 0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:42.000 the second of all, is it that great that a 0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:45.160 guy who's your coach is I don't know, just making 0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:47.279 all the decisions. I am. I'm a little worried about 0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:48.040 the whole setup. 0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:51.480 Well, yeah, Eliot Wolf exists right to draw their iron 0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:55.800 criticism as a shield for Mike Rabel, who's ultimately and again, 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:58.360 there's a whole there's a whole coalition of folks in 0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:00.720 Foxboro who are going to make the decisions. But yeah, 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:02.880 it would make sense for Mike ver Able to have 0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:04.080 significant input. 0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:07.840 Right because when I, of course, and uh like, I 0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:10.759 look at the free agent class and I want them 0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:12.960 to add like they could use one of those off 0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:16.840 ball linebackers I talked to about. I think, spend the 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:19.480 money where the players are actually good, which is there's 0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:21.560 a decent amount of players in the secondary. Could you 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.160 get a Charvarius Ward or someone like that, or a 0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:27.080 Sante Samuel bring him to New England after all the 0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.920 issues with his dad. There's good safeties out there. But 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:33.520 don't just spend just to spend. Don't add a third 0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:37.000 another third receiver, like we don't. They don't need to 0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:39.440 add Elijah more to this group, you know what I mean? Like, 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.120 there's not top tier receivers. They don't need to add 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:44.319 Darius Layton. Even though Darius Layton will help a team 0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:46.440 out there, it's not the Jets. You don't need to 0:44:46.440 --> 0:44:49.720 add Naje Harris or JK. Dobbins to this group good players, 0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:53.000 but like you have Ramandra and two, don't be adding 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:56.399 one of Eric smiling because the one team we got 0:44:56.440 --> 0:45:00.399 to seven minutes on was the Patriots. Of course, the 0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:00.919 only one. 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:01.799 Shut up. 0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:07.919 Let's wrap the show talking about our friend. We heard 0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:11.160 the news in Indianapolis and it was so much the 0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:13.520 process that we wanted to give it. It's full yeah, 0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:17.960 let it breathe full impact today. Over the years, Patrick, 0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:21.919 we have enjoyed listening to the vocal stylings of Ron 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:25.520 Wolfley on the Arizona Cardinals broadcast. 0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.719 That is absolutely huge right. 0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:32.680 There, Like what what what about him? 0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:35.160 Sticks out to you? The fact that he sticks out 0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:37.759 at all. You know, as we get into these later 0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:42.520 stages of capitalism, there is an extent of sameness everywhere, 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:48.720 similar stylings, speech patterns, and this this non regional dialect 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:52.560 that US broadcasters have. It's nice, it's standard, and it works, 0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:55.480 and it's worked for upwards of sixty years, kind of 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:59.360 mimicking a Midwestern like an Ohio type deal. 0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:01.439 But it's cool. 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:02.239 Is that what you're doing. 0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:06.680 No, it's what we all do. And it's like it's 0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:10.440 not like shit, it's time to talk about. 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.400 The news, Like we got rid of that and then 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:14.560 we went to what we have now. And to have 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:18.480 somebody still be unique in doing it and have people 0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.640 love it, it's worth celebrating. And that's what I love 0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:24.880 about Ron and I hope he's able to enjoy retirement. 0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:28.640 I wanted to know where he got these phrases from 0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.200 because they always seem like they were off the dome. 0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:36.759 But did he just have like seventy different phrases that 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:39.440 he could just always pull upon in the biggest of 0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.120 moments or do was he just coming up with it? 0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:44.080 Maybe we should have him on sometimes. 0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:47.440 Yeah, like a rolodex of terms and idioms that just 0:46:47.640 --> 0:46:48.320 seem to apply. 0:46:48.640 --> 0:46:51.160 And I don't know even what accent he had. Maybe 0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:54.040 it's Pittsburgh, I think that is maybe where he's from. 0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:57.319 But he's from But regardless of the accents, like the 0:46:57.400 --> 0:47:01.440 vocal stylingce or so inherently and I'm glad that we 0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:02.320 get another one. 0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:04.600 Uh, you know that that we can enjoy. But but 0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:06.680 Ron's there. 0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:08.920 There was something unique and special about Ron, even different 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:11.920 from his brother right that we were able to experience 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:12.680 in Arizona. 0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.600 I loved it, and I love when you talk about 0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:18.600 the stages of capitalism. It really gets a big reaction 0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:21.360 from Chris back there. I think I think they like 0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.640 whenever you bring up the where we're at, the circumstances, 0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:29.560 the capitalism there. It's just funny that that that's that's 0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:30.160 what gets the reach. 0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:31.880 Hey, it's an upgrade from feudalism. 0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:36.520 Hey, maybe my voice might be annoying, but it's not 0:47:36.680 --> 0:47:40.400 just a flattened out Midwestern accent. How about that. It's different. 0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:45.920 We will be back. Like I mentioned on Wednesday, we're 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:48.160 trying to stay in a regular cadence this week where 0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:51.239 the shows are posting overnight, so you'll have it in 0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:54.920 your feed on Wednesday morning. Yes, we're getting back the 0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:58.200 CEA next Tuesday, crew calling Wolf and Jordan Rodrigg. So 0:47:58.320 --> 0:48:00.440 looking forward to that. Talking a little AFC than some 0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:06.080 other assorted fun We will take you out by listening, 0:48:06.520 --> 0:48:08.520 and I'm doing it for the first time to a 0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:13.560 collection of the greatest uh one minute and forty five 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:18.440 seconds of sound.
