1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up for everybody? I'm Will Selva and these

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: are your good morning football headlines from NFL Network. Well,

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,079
Speaker 1: since twenty and twelve, j J. Watt's ninety five and

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: a half sacks so the second most in the league.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: Not Surprisingly, the three time Defensive Player of the Year

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: had many suitors for his services in free agency, although

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: he got all of us off guard right by signing

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: a two year deal with thirty one mill that joined

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: forces with Chandler Jones in Arizona. By the way, jones

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: Is nine seven sacks since twenty and twelve are the

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: most in the NFL during that time period. Arizona could

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: be scary with that defense of what and Jones what.

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Meeting with reporters to explain his decision to sign with

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: the Cards. The longer I looked at it, the more

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: it's just signs kept pointing back down here. You know,

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of exciting things about what's happening

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: down here in Arizona. I've always said, in this league

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: you have to have a quarterback to have a chance,

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: and there's a young, extremely talented back here who can

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: do big things. And it's going from year two to

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: year three and can take an even bigger jump to

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: continue to grow and progress and be even better. Then

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: you've got I mean, you've got DeAndre Hopkins, who's one

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: of the best wider series in the league. I'm obviously

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: very familiar with. You've got guys like Chandler Jones and

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Bruda Baker and guys all over that defense that are

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: really young and excited, guys ready to get after it,

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: ready to fly around and make some places a what

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: he is going to continue making plays wearing the number

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: ninety nine jersey he made legendary in Houston. Number ninety nine.

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: He's retired in Arizona to honor running back Marshall Goldberg,

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: a four time All probe who played for the franchise

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: back in Chicago, Lot confirming he spoke with Goldberg's daughter, Ellen,

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: and she gave him permission to wear ninety nine for

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: this season and beyond. Now one of the premier players

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: who could possibly hit the market when free agency starts

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: exactly two weeks from today in Chicago's Alan Robinson. The

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Bears could apply the franchise attack to him, which is

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: fifteen point eight million bucks for wide receivers in twenty

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: twenty one. General manager Ryan Pace was pressed by reporters,

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: if that decision has already been made, we have to

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: do what's best for the Bears too, and so you know,

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: we consider everything the league gives us. The franchise tag

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: as an option. You know, they're that tools there for

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: a reason. We haven't made a firm decision on any

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: of that yet, but we know we have that at

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: her disposal. Chicago would like to battle Green Bay for

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: supremacy in the NFC North next season. The twenty twenty

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: division champs have their own free age of decisions to

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: worry about. Jim Bryan Goodakoo is saying it's possible. It's

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: possible he could used the franchise or transition tag our

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl running back Aaron Jones. Tag deadline is March ninth.

53
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay, though, hasn't used the franchise tag since twenty

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: and ten, so yeah, it's been a while. Factors head

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: coach Matt mcfloor also had a press conference, and he

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: explained why a new defensive coordinator, Joe Berry, is the

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: right man with the job. I'll tell you what, there's

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why it was a long It

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: really was a long process. We interviewed behind guys, and

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: it just kind of came back to what you know

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: first and foremost would I always look for, and that's

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: a high character person. Then obviously somebody that's extremely a

63
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: great communicator, knowledgeable, and then the scheme portion. I just

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: thought he checked all the boxes and he earned it

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: staying in the division. Now, the Vikings have released veteran

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: tight end Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota selecting him in the second

67

Speaker 1: an honor to coach him the last seven seasons. He

70
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: will be missed. We wish him and his family nothing
