1
00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:37,188
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,228 --> 00:00:24,388
Speaker 2: Good Mo Mom.

4
00:00:24,988 --> 00:00:26,868
Speaker 3: It has been as wild as a weekends you could

5
00:00:26,868 --> 00:00:29,468
Speaker 3: possibly have in the NFL. You expect the frenzy, but

6
00:00:29,508 --> 00:00:31,988
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done and you get trades

7
00:00:32,068 --> 00:00:33,908
Speaker 3: and marquee players that are not going to end up

8
00:00:33,948 --> 00:00:36,308
Speaker 3: with the teams that we thought Jason, at least in

9
00:00:36,308 --> 00:00:38,068
Speaker 3: my mind, it just becomes a little tense.

10
00:00:38,388 --> 00:00:39,428
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

11
00:00:39,428 --> 00:00:44,108
Speaker 5: It's been a crazy, crazy frenzy in free agency this year.

12
00:00:44,268 --> 00:00:45,748
Speaker 4: The Max Crosby.

13
00:00:45,348 --> 00:00:47,948
Speaker 5: Trade that we've been talking about for days now. Tom

14
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:50,548
Speaker 5: and Ian have barely slept over the last forty eight hours.

15
00:00:50,588 --> 00:00:52,708
Speaker 4: They've been doing a great job for us, man, it's

16
00:00:52,748 --> 00:00:53,308
Speaker 4: been exciting.

17
00:00:53,668 --> 00:00:56,108
Speaker 3: I don't think any of our insiders have actually stepped

18
00:00:56,268 --> 00:00:58,468
Speaker 3: off of their actual seats at their homes. We got

19
00:00:58,468 --> 00:01:01,028
Speaker 3: complete analysis from those guys and the latest news. But

20
00:01:01,068 --> 00:01:03,348
Speaker 3: it has been a whorld when two days for all

21
00:01:03,348 --> 00:01:06,108
Speaker 3: the parties that are involved the Max Crosby Saga Ravens

22
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:09,788
Speaker 3: Executive VP and general manager, our past has been under scrutiny.

23
00:01:09,868 --> 00:01:13,268
Speaker 3: Intense scrutiny, I should say, since this news broke spoke

24
00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:17,108
Speaker 3: to the media yesterday explaining Baltimore's decision to back out

25
00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:18,548
Speaker 3: of that Blockbuster deal.

26
00:01:20,788 --> 00:01:23,548
Speaker 6: I mean, I understand it, you know, I understand it.

27
00:01:23,588 --> 00:01:26,108
Speaker 6: We live in that age of skepticism and people question,

28
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:29,068
Speaker 6: especially people that don't really know me or know the

29
00:01:29,108 --> 00:01:32,788
Speaker 6: Ravens culture and the Ravens organization. So I understand it.

30
00:01:33,948 --> 00:01:37,268
Speaker 6: As I said at the beginning, We've got a responsibility.

31
00:01:37,268 --> 00:01:39,788
Speaker 6: I've got a responsibility to the Ravens, to this community,

32
00:01:39,828 --> 00:01:42,468
Speaker 6: to our fans, and to Steve Bashati to do what

33
00:01:42,508 --> 00:01:45,908
Speaker 6: we think is best for the club. And that's what

34
00:01:45,908 --> 00:01:48,108
Speaker 6: we always try to do. Every decision we make is

35
00:01:48,188 --> 00:01:50,308
Speaker 6: based on this idea, is this the best thing for

36
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:51,508
Speaker 6: the Ravens.

37
00:01:51,588 --> 00:01:55,748
Speaker 2: Very very challenging. Again, I understand.

38
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:57,588
Speaker 6: How people might, maybe from Afar, would feel that way,

39
00:01:58,268 --> 00:02:03,268
Speaker 6: but nobody is more upset about this than me guided

40
00:02:03,348 --> 00:02:07,668
Speaker 6: by it, actually, and so I regret a big regret

41
00:02:07,748 --> 00:02:07,988
Speaker 6: for me.

42
00:02:08,468 --> 00:02:09,028
Speaker 2: I think our.

43
00:02:08,948 --> 00:02:12,428
Speaker 6: Relationship with agents and with other teams is really really good.

44
00:02:12,828 --> 00:02:15,748
Speaker 6: I think that gms understand the importance of getting as

45
00:02:15,788 --> 00:02:19,348
Speaker 6: much information as possible before making decisions, and I would

46
00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:24,068
Speaker 6: say that most agents would say that myself. George Nick

47
00:02:24,268 --> 00:02:26,868
Speaker 6: mark as Servedo, Ozzy Sashi.

48
00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:28,428
Speaker 2: Everybody that works.

49
00:02:28,188 --> 00:02:30,348
Speaker 6: With agents would say that we're a class organization that

50
00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:33,908
Speaker 6: does business the right way, respectful and willing to get

51
00:02:33,948 --> 00:02:34,588
Speaker 6: deals done.

52
00:02:35,508 --> 00:02:37,348
Speaker 3: All right, for a little bit more on this story,

53
00:02:37,428 --> 00:02:40,468
Speaker 3: we welcome in our NFL network insider Ian Rappaport and

54
00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:42,828
Speaker 3: and I know things have been sort of wild over

55
00:02:42,828 --> 00:02:45,588
Speaker 3: the last couple of days or so. We're obviously from Tacasta,

56
00:02:45,828 --> 00:02:48,748
Speaker 3: Max Crosby back in Vegas. At this point, where do

57
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:51,268
Speaker 3: things stand after We've been able to digest a little

58
00:02:51,268 --> 00:02:53,868
Speaker 3: bit of Ta Costa's comments, and Crosby obviously has been

59
00:02:53,868 --> 00:02:54,868
Speaker 3: able to sort of settle down.

60
00:02:55,188 --> 00:02:57,828
Speaker 7: Yeah, Crosby has been able to settle down. Took to

61
00:02:57,868 --> 00:03:01,028
Speaker 7: social media this morning or was it late last night

62
00:03:01,108 --> 00:03:04,308
Speaker 7: and said I am a raider, also said run that

63
00:03:04,428 --> 00:03:08,148
Speaker 7: at Bleed. He is moving forward there, It is right there.

64
00:03:08,348 --> 00:03:09,468
Speaker 2: He's such a great tweeter.

65
00:03:10,428 --> 00:03:12,348
Speaker 7: A lot of too many capital letters though, was blue.

66
00:03:12,388 --> 00:03:14,788
Speaker 7: I would say, dial back to the capitol letters more

67
00:03:14,788 --> 00:03:17,748
Speaker 7: Emoji's doing great though. Otherwise Max Crosby, and he certainly is,

68
00:03:17,828 --> 00:03:20,788
Speaker 7: because as soon as that trade did not go down,

69
00:03:20,828 --> 00:03:23,308
Speaker 7: as soon as that trade was scuttled, became clear that

70
00:03:23,388 --> 00:03:25,788
Speaker 7: Max Krasby was all eyes forward and the Las Vegas

71
00:03:25,828 --> 00:03:28,708
Speaker 7: Raiders took that private jet, put his feet up from

72
00:03:28,748 --> 00:03:32,788
Speaker 7: Baltimore to Las Vegas. Was back in the building yesterday morning,

73
00:03:33,228 --> 00:03:35,228
Speaker 7: and that was it. It's focused on rehab, it's focused

74
00:03:35,268 --> 00:03:37,708
Speaker 7: on getting back from a fully tore meniscus, and he

75
00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:40,308
Speaker 7: has in his mind decided that he is a Raider.

76
00:03:40,628 --> 00:03:44,628
Speaker 7: Could this be Fates jumping in and saying Max Crosby

77
00:03:44,668 --> 00:03:46,708
Speaker 7: is not going to finish his career with the Raiders,

78
00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:48,708
Speaker 7: the team that he probably should.

79
00:03:48,068 --> 00:03:48,868
Speaker 2: Have finished his career with.

80
00:03:48,908 --> 00:03:52,708
Speaker 7: Anyway, Possibly things happened for a reason. And look, there's

81
00:03:52,748 --> 00:03:54,948
Speaker 7: a bunch of teams that ended up calling the Raiders

82
00:03:54,948 --> 00:03:56,588
Speaker 7: about Max after the trade.

83
00:03:56,308 --> 00:03:56,988
Speaker 2: Did not go down.

84
00:03:57,348 --> 00:03:59,028
Speaker 7: All we're trying to get a good deal. All we're

85
00:03:59,068 --> 00:04:01,108
Speaker 7: trying to get thirty cents on the dollar. I don't

86
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:02,708
Speaker 7: get the sense of Raiders would do that. In fact,

87
00:04:02,708 --> 00:04:04,188
Speaker 7: I didn't even think the Raiders were going to trade

88
00:04:04,188 --> 00:04:07,868
Speaker 7: Max Crosby unless until they somehow got two first rounders,

89
00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:09,628
Speaker 7: which only the Ravens offered.

90
00:04:09,788 --> 00:04:11,188
Speaker 2: The Ravens obviously are out.

91
00:04:11,588 --> 00:04:13,828
Speaker 7: They have not only scuttled as tray, but they've also

92
00:04:13,868 --> 00:04:17,308
Speaker 7: spent the money on Trey Hendrickson yesterday, So is there

93
00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:20,028
Speaker 7: a chance another team jumps back in in June or

94
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:22,868
Speaker 7: July or August or whatever, max Crosby is fully healthy.

95
00:04:23,188 --> 00:04:24,828
Speaker 2: There is a chance there is.

96
00:04:25,148 --> 00:04:27,708
Speaker 7: But as of right now, Crosby is going to be

97
00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:30,028
Speaker 7: a member of the Raiders, and he now joins a

98
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:32,468
Speaker 7: team that has spent two hundred and eighty million dollars

99
00:04:32,508 --> 00:04:35,468
Speaker 7: in free agency and is much much better than the

100
00:04:35,548 --> 00:04:37,028
Speaker 7: team than TENI left.

101
00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:39,028
Speaker 3: I look, at the end of the day, we talk

102
00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:41,508
Speaker 3: about free agency and we ask ourselves, when it's all

103
00:04:41,708 --> 00:04:43,668
Speaker 3: said and done, are you a better football team? And

104
00:04:43,988 --> 00:04:46,308
Speaker 3: the Raiders are a better football team with Max Crosby

105
00:04:46,548 --> 00:04:48,228
Speaker 3: out on that football field. And I know we got

106
00:04:48,228 --> 00:04:50,228
Speaker 3: more from you coming up in just a bit. But

107
00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:52,188
Speaker 3: there's a lot of tentacles to this story, and we

108
00:04:52,228 --> 00:04:55,388
Speaker 3: continue to analyze them here on NFL Network. Mike Gee,

109
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,628
Speaker 3: I know, from da Costa's standpoint, you heard some of

110
00:04:57,628 --> 00:04:59,708
Speaker 3: his comments. We know what the reaction has been from

111
00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:02,068
Speaker 3: the NFL world. But as you sort of digest what

112
00:05:02,108 --> 00:05:04,348
Speaker 3: you watched yesterday, and I know you guys had because

113
00:05:04,508 --> 00:05:07,788
Speaker 3: his comments on Insiders on NFL Network yesterday, how do

114
00:05:07,908 --> 00:05:10,668
Speaker 3: you unpack what you actually heard from him?

115
00:05:10,748 --> 00:05:14,268
Speaker 8: I would combine that with the conversations that I've had

116
00:05:14,308 --> 00:05:17,548
Speaker 8: with folks in Baltimore over the last two days, and

117
00:05:18,908 --> 00:05:22,228
Speaker 8: I know how it looked, right, And I think people said, Wow,

118
00:05:22,268 --> 00:05:24,148
Speaker 8: they gave up two first round picks for a guy

119
00:05:24,188 --> 00:05:27,268
Speaker 8: who's in the middle of his prime, right, Like, you're

120
00:05:27,308 --> 00:05:30,028
Speaker 8: not getting ten years of Max Crosby. You're probably getting

121
00:05:30,148 --> 00:05:32,588
Speaker 8: let's say five good years if he's healthy. Right, let's

122
00:05:32,588 --> 00:05:35,028
Speaker 8: think about it in those terms. And they're saying, well,

123
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:37,428
Speaker 8: the Ravens over the course of the next three days

124
00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:37,828
Speaker 8: were like.

125
00:05:38,668 --> 00:05:41,508
Speaker 9: Geez, we gave up too much, you know what, fail

126
00:05:41,588 --> 00:05:43,868
Speaker 9: him on the physical. Let's get out of this deal, right.

127
00:05:44,948 --> 00:05:46,708
Speaker 8: I understand that a lot of people think that that's

128
00:05:46,748 --> 00:05:50,588
Speaker 8: how it looks. I truly, honestly do not believe that

129
00:05:50,708 --> 00:05:52,828
Speaker 8: based on the conversation I've had, based on what Eric

130
00:05:52,868 --> 00:05:56,348
Speaker 8: Tacosta said yesterday, Because see all this right.

131
00:05:56,188 --> 00:06:00,308
Speaker 9: Here, they wanted all this. They wanted Max Crosby.

132
00:06:00,748 --> 00:06:03,188
Speaker 8: They wanted them wrecking things in the backfield and blowing

133
00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:06,308
Speaker 8: up running plays and getting in the quarterback's lapse before

134
00:06:06,308 --> 00:06:08,468
Speaker 8: they're at the top of their droughts. And they were

135
00:06:08,508 --> 00:06:10,948
Speaker 8: really disappointed that they didn't get that. In the end,

136
00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:14,588
Speaker 8: it was a question of in their mind, how the

137
00:06:14,668 --> 00:06:17,668
Speaker 8: knee looked, what it was going to look like moving forward,

138
00:06:17,988 --> 00:06:20,788
Speaker 8: how that surgery would hold up. When you're talking about cartilage,

139
00:06:20,828 --> 00:06:23,308
Speaker 8: you got the potential for it to wear down over time.

140
00:06:23,788 --> 00:06:26,268
Speaker 8: The Ravens and their doctors and the doctors they consulted,

141
00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:28,628
Speaker 8: and the conversation that they had felt like in the

142
00:06:28,748 --> 00:06:30,988
Speaker 8: end it wasn't going to hold up. They made a

143
00:06:31,028 --> 00:06:35,388
Speaker 8: subjective decision. Let's be clear, a subjective decision. It's not objective.

144
00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:37,828
Speaker 8: It's not past fail in the way that we say

145
00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:40,228
Speaker 8: past the physical or a failed the physical. They made

146
00:06:40,268 --> 00:06:42,428
Speaker 8: that subjective call, and in the end they didn't get

147
00:06:42,428 --> 00:06:44,308
Speaker 8: the guy that they would like to have had in

148
00:06:44,388 --> 00:06:46,988
Speaker 8: the backfield, ruining things for opposing offense, and for that

149
00:06:47,028 --> 00:06:47,788
Speaker 8: they're disappointed.

150
00:06:51,988 --> 00:06:57,148
Speaker 10: Like, gee, I appreciate your optimism, but you're from.

151
00:06:56,948 --> 00:06:58,708
Speaker 2: The NFL world.

152
00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:03,868
Speaker 10: Okay, I'm from the WWE world. So let me offer

153
00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:10,388
Speaker 10: a bit of skepticism here. What did the Ravens think

154
00:07:10,508 --> 00:07:14,588
Speaker 10: they were going to see that they didn't see in

155
00:07:14,628 --> 00:07:19,068
Speaker 10: the physical I have had my meniscus operated on both

156
00:07:19,108 --> 00:07:21,268
Speaker 10: of them. As a matter of fact, this is a

157
00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:23,508
Speaker 10: fairly routine operation.

158
00:07:23,868 --> 00:07:25,988
Speaker 2: Like it's not rocket science.

159
00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:28,428
Speaker 10: I mean, look, it's a scientific marvel, no doubt about it.

160
00:07:28,468 --> 00:07:32,028
Speaker 10: But it's not a crazy experimental surgery. You go in,

161
00:07:32,348 --> 00:07:35,188
Speaker 10: you repair the meniscus, you put it in place, and

162
00:07:35,228 --> 00:07:38,868
Speaker 10: then you let it heal. Max Crosby is a super athlete.

163
00:07:38,948 --> 00:07:41,708
Speaker 10: He's got people on his team to tell him exactly

164
00:07:41,748 --> 00:07:44,908
Speaker 10: what to do, exactly how to rehab. So what exactly

165
00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:50,028
Speaker 10: were your expectations versus the reality of what you saw

166
00:07:50,788 --> 00:07:53,468
Speaker 10: as a team that was evaluating someone coming off of

167
00:07:53,548 --> 00:07:57,348
Speaker 10: meniscal surgery. I don't really understand. So to me, there's

168
00:07:57,388 --> 00:08:02,108
Speaker 10: something very fishy about this entire thing. I know we

169
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,228
Speaker 10: want to be on the up and up, and I

170
00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:05,748
Speaker 10: know DeCosta says, yeah, we're a great organization.

171
00:08:05,828 --> 00:08:07,908
Speaker 2: We do things the right way. Maybe do.

172
00:08:08,268 --> 00:08:11,148
Speaker 10: But something happened here the other side of this, and

173
00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:14,308
Speaker 10: this just may bee me. Maybe me as except rollin

174
00:08:14,468 --> 00:08:17,508
Speaker 10: someone who knows a thing or two about faking injuries.

175
00:08:18,228 --> 00:08:21,908
Speaker 10: Maybe Max, Maybe Max, and let me just throw this

176
00:08:21,988 --> 00:08:24,508
Speaker 10: into the wind. Maybe Max says, you know what.

177
00:08:24,828 --> 00:08:26,388
Speaker 2: I don't want to go playing Baltimore.

178
00:08:27,308 --> 00:08:30,188
Speaker 10: Maybe I'll just make this seem like I'm a little

179
00:08:30,188 --> 00:08:31,548
Speaker 10: worse off than I actually am.

180
00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:32,308
Speaker 2: I don't know.

181
00:08:32,508 --> 00:08:35,668
Speaker 10: I just want to throw that into the ether, commenda.

182
00:08:36,028 --> 00:08:40,068
Speaker 10: Maybe there's something something's amiss. This is not just all

183
00:08:40,148 --> 00:08:41,668
Speaker 10: up and up all we got there. We saw the

184
00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:44,028
Speaker 10: physical and it just wasn't good, and so we're gonna

185
00:08:44,028 --> 00:08:46,828
Speaker 10: fail and and get out of here. Something something is

186
00:08:46,868 --> 00:08:49,708
Speaker 10: not right. Yes, play that violin. Tell me why you're

187
00:08:49,708 --> 00:08:50,628
Speaker 10: playing that violin?

188
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:52,148
Speaker 2: Because something right.

189
00:08:53,028 --> 00:08:56,268
Speaker 5: Playing the saddest symphony I possibly can for the Baltimore

190
00:08:56,348 --> 00:08:58,348
Speaker 5: Ravens fans, and that where the CASA answer.

191
00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:02,348
Speaker 4: I'm with Seth on this one. I'm just not buying it.

192
00:09:02,548 --> 00:09:04,268
Speaker 5: Like, what did you think you thought you were gonna

193
00:09:04,268 --> 00:09:06,788
Speaker 5: get ten more years out of Max Crosby. It's not

194
00:09:06,868 --> 00:09:08,308
Speaker 5: like you were going to offer him a ten year

195
00:09:08,388 --> 00:09:11,308
Speaker 5: contract and you're worried about him being able to fulfill

196
00:09:11,388 --> 00:09:13,348
Speaker 5: all of those years. I think you're going to offer

197
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:15,988
Speaker 5: him a three or four year contract. You're really telling

198
00:09:16,028 --> 00:09:18,868
Speaker 5: me that, because of a meniscus tear and a meniscus

199
00:09:18,948 --> 00:09:21,188
Speaker 5: repair surgery, that you don't think he's gonna be able

200
00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:21,828
Speaker 5: to fulfill a.

201
00:09:21,788 --> 00:09:23,268
Speaker 4: Three or four year contract.

202
00:09:23,628 --> 00:09:26,228
Speaker 5: I'm not buying that whatsoever for a guy who has

203
00:09:26,308 --> 00:09:28,668
Speaker 5: not had injury concerns, for a guy who we have

204
00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:31,628
Speaker 5: not labeled as being injury prone for a guy who

205
00:09:31,908 --> 00:09:36,228
Speaker 5: literally needs to be pulled off of the field by coaches, trainers,

206
00:09:36,228 --> 00:09:38,428
Speaker 5: and front office because he will put his body through

207
00:09:38,468 --> 00:09:40,388
Speaker 5: whatever for his organization.

208
00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:42,228
Speaker 4: I absolutely refuse to.

209
00:09:42,228 --> 00:09:44,708
Speaker 5: Believe that they just didn't know and they didn't like

210
00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:45,588
Speaker 5: the physical that much.

211
00:09:45,868 --> 00:09:48,668
Speaker 4: I'm not buying it whatsoever. And then you want to

212
00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:49,028
Speaker 4: go and.

213
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:51,148
Speaker 5: Say that all the original plan was to try to

214
00:09:51,188 --> 00:09:54,068
Speaker 5: get both Hendrickson and Max Crosby. I don't remember the

215
00:09:54,148 --> 00:09:57,228
Speaker 5: last time we saw two star pass rushers get signed

216
00:09:57,268 --> 00:09:59,828
Speaker 5: to the same team in the same free agencycle I

217
00:09:59,828 --> 00:10:02,828
Speaker 5: don't even remember, don't. I'm not buying it at all.

218
00:10:03,268 --> 00:10:04,788
Speaker 8: I'm glad you brought that up, because I did want

219
00:10:04,788 --> 00:10:07,748
Speaker 8: to address that, because we talked for a couple of

220
00:10:07,828 --> 00:10:10,788
Speaker 8: days about how Trey Hendrickson's market wasn't what he thought

221
00:10:10,868 --> 00:10:12,668
Speaker 8: or hoped it was going to be. You know, he

222
00:10:13,508 --> 00:10:15,708
Speaker 8: played for thirty million last year, so in his head

223
00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:19,348
Speaker 8: he's thinking, we're somewhere into the thirties when it comes

224
00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:20,788
Speaker 8: to the contract that I'm going to get on a

225
00:10:20,868 --> 00:10:24,588
Speaker 8: multi year deal. It was in the low twenties and

226
00:10:24,628 --> 00:10:27,028
Speaker 8: now it ended in the high twenties, which tells you

227
00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:29,188
Speaker 8: by the way that when the Max Crosby trade fell apart,

228
00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:33,268
Speaker 8: the raven says, okay, foot of the gas, foot to

229
00:10:33,308 --> 00:10:35,308
Speaker 8: the floor. We got to get this thing done. And

230
00:10:35,348 --> 00:10:37,028
Speaker 8: so now it got up to a number close enough

231
00:10:37,028 --> 00:10:39,388
Speaker 8: that everything got done, and with incentives, it gets up

232
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:42,068
Speaker 8: to thirty million dollars. In the Ravens mind, I think

233
00:10:42,108 --> 00:10:44,668
Speaker 8: they get Max Crosby in that trade. He's making in

234
00:10:44,668 --> 00:10:46,948
Speaker 8: the high twenties on average of what they're going to pay,

235
00:10:47,028 --> 00:10:48,908
Speaker 8: and then we can get Hendricks in the low twenties

236
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,268
Speaker 8: because again his market wasn't what he thought it was.

237
00:10:51,468 --> 00:10:53,348
Speaker 9: So come join our defense.

238
00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:57,028
Speaker 8: You can come play with Bookend, incredible defensive ends.

239
00:10:57,188 --> 00:10:59,308
Speaker 9: That was the thought in their mind.

240
00:10:59,348 --> 00:11:01,428
Speaker 8: But because the trade fell through, now all of a

241
00:11:01,468 --> 00:11:03,828
Speaker 8: sudden they give him the numbers that gets it done.

242
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:04,988
Speaker 9: And then Hendricks goes there.

243
00:11:05,628 --> 00:11:07,748
Speaker 8: I think if this offer had been on the table

244
00:11:07,748 --> 00:11:08,588
Speaker 8: from the start.

245
00:11:08,348 --> 00:11:08,988
Speaker 9: It gets done.

246
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,788
Speaker 8: He ain't crossed me or together because he passed the

247
00:11:10,788 --> 00:11:13,228
Speaker 8: physical It didn't work out ideally, but in the end

248
00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:14,428
Speaker 8: they wind up getting one of the two.

249
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:16,228
Speaker 3: You know, Mike, I actually love that context there, and

250
00:11:16,228 --> 00:11:17,948
Speaker 3: I actually want to circle back on your comments Jason,

251
00:11:17,948 --> 00:11:19,668
Speaker 3: because you're right off the top of the Dome. I

252
00:11:19,668 --> 00:11:22,308
Speaker 3: don't know when you talk about two premier pass rushers

253
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:24,708
Speaker 3: signing in one free agency cycle for one team. But

254
00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:27,348
Speaker 3: at the same time, I would argue Baltimore's identity is

255
00:11:27,348 --> 00:11:29,868
Speaker 3: getting after the quarterback, what they do defensively, and they

256
00:11:29,908 --> 00:11:32,268
Speaker 3: were a shell of themselves a season ago. Mattam Bik

257
00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:34,468
Speaker 3: who was a monster two years ago, I don't even

258
00:11:34,468 --> 00:11:36,108
Speaker 3: know if he sees the football field, there's probably some

259
00:11:36,148 --> 00:11:38,788
Speaker 3: real concerns. So there's a part of me, Jason that says, hey,

260
00:11:38,868 --> 00:11:42,108
Speaker 3: maybe this team just said we were so in I

261
00:11:42,108 --> 00:11:43,468
Speaker 3: don't want to say a nap. I don't know how

262
00:11:43,468 --> 00:11:45,868
Speaker 3: well subscribe it based off of their standards. We had

263
00:11:45,908 --> 00:11:46,908
Speaker 3: to do something desperate.

264
00:11:47,508 --> 00:11:49,548
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I hear that, you know, I hear that,

265
00:11:49,588 --> 00:11:52,588
Speaker 5: And I felt like as a defense, they had gotten

266
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:55,428
Speaker 5: away from Baltimore Ravens football.

267
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:56,308
Speaker 4: Defensively.

268
00:11:56,348 --> 00:12:00,788
Speaker 5: I thought some players regressed Humphreys Rokwan like it didn't

269
00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:03,028
Speaker 5: look the same, not the same style of aggression, not

270
00:12:03,068 --> 00:12:06,308
Speaker 5: the same style of physical toughness that we're so used

271
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:08,948
Speaker 5: to saying from Baltimore for so many years, and the

272
00:12:08,988 --> 00:12:11,708
Speaker 5: standard and the culture, and I think bringing in two

273
00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:13,828
Speaker 5: guys like that, yeah, I would restore that.

274
00:12:14,708 --> 00:12:18,188
Speaker 4: I'm just not buying it. I'm not buying that.

275
00:12:18,148 --> 00:12:19,508
Speaker 5: It would have been able to get done. I'm not

276
00:12:19,548 --> 00:12:22,588
Speaker 5: buying that the money was there and both would have agreed.

277
00:12:22,748 --> 00:12:23,868
Speaker 5: I'm just not buying all of it.

278
00:12:23,908 --> 00:12:26,268
Speaker 3: I'm not It's gonna be interesting to sort of see

279
00:12:26,268 --> 00:12:28,108
Speaker 3: how this thing unfolds over the next couple of weeks

280
00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:31,268
Speaker 3: or so. We're not done chewing on this topic because

281
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:34,988
Speaker 3: Crosby heading back, he saw it on social media. Going

282
00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,028
Speaker 3: back to the Raiders, they are still a better football

283
00:12:37,028 --> 00:12:38,788
Speaker 3: team with him on the field. Hopefully he is one

284
00:12:38,868 --> 00:12:45,028
Speaker 3: hundred percent healthy. All right, back here on Good Morning Football,

285
00:12:45,068 --> 00:12:48,348
Speaker 3: we bring back our NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport, and Ian,

286
00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:50,508
Speaker 3: we know the Colts had some good news, right they

287
00:12:50,548 --> 00:12:52,948
Speaker 3: bring back their quarterback. The carousel, though, continues to spend

288
00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:55,668
Speaker 3: because we still don't know about Kyler Murray and where

289
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:58,388
Speaker 3: he ends up. Just level set and reset what's happening

290
00:12:58,468 --> 00:12:59,628
Speaker 3: with some of the signal callers.

291
00:12:59,788 --> 00:13:01,228
Speaker 2: We'll start with the Indianapolis Colts.

292
00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:03,948
Speaker 7: They had a very big wig obviously started with Alec

293
00:13:04,028 --> 00:13:07,028
Speaker 7: Peers and the four year, one hundred and fourteen million

294
00:13:07,108 --> 00:13:10,708
Speaker 7: dollar contract extension when he signed believing that Daniel Jones

295
00:13:11,108 --> 00:13:13,708
Speaker 7: would be his quarterback at that point, though it wasn't

296
00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:16,868
Speaker 7: fully clear Jones was on the transition tag, wanted a deal,

297
00:13:17,188 --> 00:13:19,588
Speaker 7: wanted security with the Indianapolis coach, and over the last

298
00:13:19,628 --> 00:13:24,228
Speaker 7: several days that is exactly what they did, locking him

299
00:13:24,228 --> 00:13:26,828
Speaker 7: in on a two year deal worth up to one

300
00:13:26,868 --> 00:13:29,188
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars, recording to me and College Tom Keeliser

301
00:13:29,348 --> 00:13:32,548
Speaker 7: eighty eight million dollars at its base fifty million dollars

302
00:13:32,588 --> 00:13:36,108
Speaker 7: in year one. Had Daniel Jones played on the transition tag,

303
00:13:36,388 --> 00:13:38,988
Speaker 7: he would have made thirty eight million. Now he gets

304
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:42,708
Speaker 7: fifty an excellent deal for Daniel Jones, plus that extra

305
00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:44,948
Speaker 7: year of securityal though really if he goes out and

306
00:13:44,948 --> 00:13:49,428
Speaker 7: plays well, probably getting another contract extension after next year anyway.

307
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:52,308
Speaker 7: And then there is Kyler Murray, the top free agent

308
00:13:52,348 --> 00:13:55,068
Speaker 7: available and certainly the top quarterback available.

309
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:56,348
Speaker 9: He was officially released.

310
00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:58,868
Speaker 7: For the Arizona Cardinals yesterday, and because they are paying

311
00:13:58,868 --> 00:14:01,108
Speaker 7: more than thirty eight million dollars of a salary, fully

312
00:14:01,108 --> 00:14:03,748
Speaker 7: guaranteed the team he is going to join is going

313
00:14:03,788 --> 00:14:06,228
Speaker 7: to pay for him him for the minimum his contract

314
00:14:06,228 --> 00:14:08,948
Speaker 7: has offsets. Basically, what that means is the original team

315
00:14:08,988 --> 00:14:12,228
Speaker 7: pays everything except for as little as possible. He is

316
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:14,428
Speaker 7: going to visit the Minnesota Vikings today.

317
00:14:14,468 --> 00:14:17,068
Speaker 2: Now, we spent the last twelve hours or so talking

318
00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:18,948
Speaker 2: to different teams, talking to decision.

319
00:14:18,548 --> 00:14:22,228
Speaker 7: Makers, getting ahead of the twenty twenty seven free agency process.

320
00:14:22,308 --> 00:14:23,908
Speaker 7: Has never been a free agent before. It seemed like

321
00:14:23,948 --> 00:14:26,028
Speaker 7: he wanted to talk to teams and kind of begin

322
00:14:26,108 --> 00:14:27,708
Speaker 7: all that he is going to be in the building

323
00:14:27,748 --> 00:14:31,068
Speaker 7: for the Minnesota Vikings today. There's a chance, a good

324
00:14:31,148 --> 00:14:33,548
Speaker 7: chance that a deal comes together very quickly and we

325
00:14:33,628 --> 00:14:36,508
Speaker 7: may see Kyler Murray be the next quarterback of the

326
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:40,028
Speaker 7: Minnesota Vikings. Add to that quarterback room to compete with

327
00:14:40,148 --> 00:14:41,108
Speaker 7: JJ McCarthy.

328
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:43,828
Speaker 3: It's a fascinating turn of events. Say you think about Minnesota,

329
00:14:43,828 --> 00:14:46,948
Speaker 3: I'd also throw into the mix. It's part also trying

330
00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:49,388
Speaker 3: to figure out Aaron Rodgers and no setus I'strongo fans

331
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:51,508
Speaker 3: on that still to come here on Good Morning Football.

332
00:14:51,508 --> 00:14:53,628
Speaker 3: But Ian, great stuff by you, as always. It time

333
00:14:53,708 --> 00:14:56,548
Speaker 3: for a little buying or keep trying. Now, Mike ge

334
00:14:56,588 --> 00:14:58,788
Speaker 3: we heard what Ian had to say on Wednesday. You

335
00:14:58,868 --> 00:15:01,228
Speaker 3: actually reported Kyler is not going to be annoyed at

336
00:15:01,228 --> 00:15:03,668
Speaker 3: that starter. He made reference to the fact that this

337
00:15:03,748 --> 00:15:07,188
Speaker 3: is a situation where he could be competing for a job.

338
00:15:07,268 --> 00:15:08,948
Speaker 3: Is that what the reality is going to be when

339
00:15:08,988 --> 00:15:10,308
Speaker 3: you bring in a guy like Kyler Murray.

340
00:15:10,468 --> 00:15:12,548
Speaker 8: I got to buy my own report, right, I can't

341
00:15:12,588 --> 00:15:14,428
Speaker 8: be like I keep trying a gut and know what

342
00:15:14,468 --> 00:15:15,228
Speaker 8: he's talking about.

343
00:15:15,268 --> 00:15:17,308
Speaker 9: So yes, I am buying it.

344
00:15:17,788 --> 00:15:20,988
Speaker 8: From my understanding, this is going to be something where

345
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:24,028
Speaker 8: they want it to be good for the short term

346
00:15:24,028 --> 00:15:26,348
Speaker 8: and also the long term for the Vikings.

347
00:15:26,548 --> 00:15:30,228
Speaker 9: And by that I mean and go back to last year, right, Like.

348
00:15:30,268 --> 00:15:32,548
Speaker 8: We kept talking about the Vikings should bring in a

349
00:15:32,588 --> 00:15:33,868
Speaker 8: proven veteran and they did.

350
00:15:34,188 --> 00:15:36,908
Speaker 9: They had a clear runway once they lost Sam Donald

351
00:15:36,948 --> 00:15:37,668
Speaker 9: to the Seahawks.

352
00:15:38,188 --> 00:15:41,788
Speaker 8: For JJ McCarthy didn't want anybody looking over his shoulder

353
00:15:41,868 --> 00:15:43,548
Speaker 8: or in his ear like we wanted to give him

354
00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:46,508
Speaker 8: the chance to understand that he's the future of the franchise.

355
00:15:46,668 --> 00:15:47,988
Speaker 9: This is gonna be a little different though.

356
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:49,508
Speaker 8: This is going to be you got to beat this

357
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:53,588
Speaker 8: guy out, and in their minds, Kyler Murray could go

358
00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:57,468
Speaker 8: in play extremely well, sort of like Sam Donald did

359
00:15:57,548 --> 00:16:01,148
Speaker 8: for the Vikings and reset himself up as a proven

360
00:16:01,268 --> 00:16:03,228
Speaker 8: long term starter for a team, whether it's the Vikings

361
00:16:03,268 --> 00:16:06,468
Speaker 8: or somebody else. And maybe that's their guy moving forward,

362
00:16:06,628 --> 00:16:11,828
Speaker 8: or maybe McCarthy responds, still got some growing up to do,

363
00:16:12,268 --> 00:16:15,068
Speaker 8: still got some coming along to do, and maybe he

364
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:16,908
Speaker 8: does it because of the challenge. So I am buying

365
00:16:16,948 --> 00:16:18,988
Speaker 8: that it will be a quarterback competition and that we

366
00:16:19,028 --> 00:16:21,548
Speaker 8: will be covering the Vikings an insight training camp saying, Hey,

367
00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:24,468
Speaker 8: what's the latest in the competition competition between Kyler Murray

368
00:16:24,468 --> 00:16:25,388
Speaker 8: and JJ McCarthy.

369
00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:27,388
Speaker 10: Mike Ge, I'm with you on this one. I was

370
00:16:27,428 --> 00:16:29,428
Speaker 10: against you on the Max Crosby thing. I still think

371
00:16:29,468 --> 00:16:32,068
Speaker 10: it's very efficiing, But this one, I'm buying this one.

372
00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:35,428
Speaker 10: This is a quarterback competition, no doubt about it, because

373
00:16:35,548 --> 00:16:39,428
Speaker 10: tell me what has either quarterback done, Kyler Murray or

374
00:16:39,508 --> 00:16:42,428
Speaker 10: JJ McCarthy. What have they done to prove that they

375
00:16:42,508 --> 00:16:45,988
Speaker 10: are the starters? I mean JJ McCarthy obviously rookie year,

376
00:16:46,028 --> 00:16:47,708
Speaker 10: he's heard, he's out the whole season. He came back.

377
00:16:47,988 --> 00:16:50,188
Speaker 10: Look at this what is it? Look at these throws?

378
00:16:50,268 --> 00:16:53,148
Speaker 10: What are we talking about here? This guy cannot be

379
00:16:53,228 --> 00:16:56,868
Speaker 10: your proven starter. There's no chance that after the body

380
00:16:56,908 --> 00:16:59,348
Speaker 10: of work the JJ McCarthy put out the last season

381
00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:02,348
Speaker 10: in Minnesota, everybody wants him to be the next quarterback,

382
00:17:02,348 --> 00:17:04,948
Speaker 10: then the next franchise quarterback for Minnesota. If you're a fan,

383
00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:07,108
Speaker 10: you want to and you saw glimpses of it, I'm

384
00:17:07,108 --> 00:17:07,668
Speaker 10: not gonna lie.

385
00:17:07,668 --> 00:17:10,148
Speaker 2: You saw glimpses of it. JJ McCarthy looked.

386
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:12,348
Speaker 10: Like, Okay, he's got the skills, right, he can, he can,

387
00:17:12,508 --> 00:17:13,908
Speaker 10: he can, especially in crunch time.

388
00:17:13,948 --> 00:17:15,148
Speaker 2: Maybe he can get it done.

389
00:17:15,228 --> 00:17:16,748
Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, I go, what

390
00:17:16,908 --> 00:17:19,348
Speaker 10: has he done to show me that he is absolutely

391
00:17:19,388 --> 00:17:21,628
Speaker 10: one hundred percent the quarterback of the future. He had

392
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:24,108
Speaker 10: every opportunity last year to get it done. He's got

393
00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:27,228
Speaker 10: maybe the best wide receiver in all the football and

394
00:17:27,388 --> 00:17:29,948
Speaker 10: justin Jefferson they couldn't get on the same page. So

395
00:17:30,068 --> 00:17:32,508
Speaker 10: you and he's got a quarterback guru and Koc there.

396
00:17:32,668 --> 00:17:34,468
Speaker 10: You tell me what has he done?

397
00:17:34,588 --> 00:17:35,508
Speaker 2: Kyler? Same thing?

398
00:17:35,548 --> 00:17:37,348
Speaker 10: I go, Okay, you look at his body, you work

399
00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:40,748
Speaker 10: in Arizona. What has he done to show me coming

400
00:17:40,748 --> 00:17:42,188
Speaker 10: in that this is going to be your guy?

401
00:17:42,388 --> 00:17:43,348
Speaker 2: These guys you've got it.

402
00:17:43,388 --> 00:17:45,948
Speaker 10: You've got to put them both in there, spin them around,

403
00:17:47,188 --> 00:17:48,348
Speaker 10: spit one out, and let's.

404
00:17:48,148 --> 00:17:48,948
Speaker 2: See who we're going with.

405
00:17:49,028 --> 00:17:50,788
Speaker 10: That's how I feel about it. I'm buying, baby, What

406
00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:51,148
Speaker 10: about you?

407
00:17:51,228 --> 00:17:51,588
Speaker 2: Covinda.

408
00:17:51,948 --> 00:17:55,308
Speaker 5: I'm also buying it, and I'm buying it because I

409
00:17:55,348 --> 00:17:58,308
Speaker 5: think these are two quarterbacks who are at a fork

410
00:17:58,468 --> 00:18:01,428
Speaker 5: in the road for both of their careers. I was

411
00:18:01,468 --> 00:18:04,028
Speaker 5: never very high on JJ McCarthy coming out of college.

412
00:18:04,468 --> 00:18:06,308
Speaker 5: See some of those stat lines. You know, he was

413
00:18:06,348 --> 00:18:08,468
Speaker 5: carried like a backpack with that run game in Michigan.

414
00:18:08,668 --> 00:18:09,308
Speaker 4: And I'm not just.

415
00:18:09,268 --> 00:18:10,908
Speaker 5: Saying that because I'm a Penn State guy and I

416
00:18:10,908 --> 00:18:14,588
Speaker 5: absolutely hate the University of Michigan, but because it's the truth.

417
00:18:14,788 --> 00:18:17,748
Speaker 5: Ten passes some games, eleven passes some games. I just

418
00:18:17,788 --> 00:18:20,508
Speaker 5: didn't feel like I saw enough output from j J

419
00:18:20,668 --> 00:18:23,628
Speaker 5: McCarthy to warrant franchise quarterback coming out of college.

420
00:18:23,668 --> 00:18:24,988
Speaker 4: And now you've seen in the.

421
00:18:25,028 --> 00:18:28,028
Speaker 5: NFL, and he struggled pretty early. Obviously, he had an injury,

422
00:18:28,068 --> 00:18:30,508
Speaker 5: did not get a true rookie year, and then got

423
00:18:30,548 --> 00:18:33,308
Speaker 5: tossed right into the fire that following year and was

424
00:18:33,348 --> 00:18:35,308
Speaker 5: not able to perform very well. And then you look

425
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:38,028
Speaker 5: at a guy like Kyler Murray who's uber talented, but

426
00:18:38,268 --> 00:18:40,308
Speaker 5: just based on specs, this is a guy who's listed

427
00:18:40,348 --> 00:18:42,508
Speaker 5: at five point ten, one hundred and ninety five, probably

428
00:18:42,508 --> 00:18:44,908
Speaker 5: closer to five to eight if we're being completely honest.

429
00:18:45,148 --> 00:18:48,148
Speaker 5: But look, twenty thousand passing yards, three thousand rushing yards,

430
00:18:48,188 --> 00:18:52,228
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty three touchdowns over seven seasons. Got talent,

431
00:18:52,308 --> 00:18:55,148
Speaker 5: got leake talent, got the impossible angles and stuff.

432
00:18:55,308 --> 00:18:56,508
Speaker 4: But is it winning football?

433
00:18:56,708 --> 00:19:00,148
Speaker 5: Is it a play style that can translate into winning football?

434
00:19:00,148 --> 00:19:02,588
Speaker 5: That's the real question With Kyler Murray. There are gonna

435
00:19:02,588 --> 00:19:05,188
Speaker 5: be teams and organizations who rule him out just based

436
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:06,788
Speaker 5: off spects and the fact that that's just not the

437
00:19:06,788 --> 00:19:09,148
Speaker 5: type of quarterback that they want to play with. You know,

438
00:19:09,228 --> 00:19:11,948
Speaker 5: he's at a fourth from a standpoint of being a

439
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:15,828
Speaker 5: journeyman quarterback or continuing to play meaningful football in his career.

440
00:19:16,148 --> 00:19:16,788
Speaker 2: Both of these.

441
00:19:16,668 --> 00:19:18,148
Speaker 4: Guys will be highly motivated.

442
00:19:18,228 --> 00:19:19,908
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a great quarterback battle

443
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:22,148
Speaker 5: to see who's going to win out the situational.

444
00:19:23,108 --> 00:19:25,108
Speaker 3: The situation really does matter when we talk about the

445
00:19:25,188 --> 00:19:27,788
Speaker 3: successive quarterbacks. I dick about Kyler Murray where he's been

446
00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:30,428
Speaker 3: at Arizona, multiple head coaches. We talk about a revolving

447
00:19:30,508 --> 00:19:33,028
Speaker 3: during the offensive line, skill position, they try to bolster

448
00:19:33,108 --> 00:19:35,028
Speaker 3: some of those things. I do wonder the fit, and

449
00:19:35,068 --> 00:19:36,948
Speaker 3: to Set's point, it does make sense. He would have

450
00:19:37,028 --> 00:19:39,588
Speaker 3: arguably the best wide receiver in the game and Justin Jefferson.

451
00:19:39,628 --> 00:19:42,868
Speaker 3: But Mike, when I think about the scenario here, you

452
00:19:42,988 --> 00:19:45,988
Speaker 3: tell me in NFL circles, is it from a Pittsburgh

453
00:19:46,068 --> 00:19:48,908
Speaker 3: perspective just wait and see on Aaron Rodgers or are

454
00:19:48,948 --> 00:19:52,108
Speaker 3: their conversations meaningful conversations that you expect to happen with

455
00:19:52,148 --> 00:19:54,588
Speaker 3: regard to Kyler Murray maybe being their starting quarterback.

456
00:19:55,348 --> 00:19:58,508
Speaker 9: It's somewhere in between. The Steelers have.

457
00:20:00,228 --> 00:20:03,028
Speaker 8: Started to look at potential contingency plans because they don't know,

458
00:20:03,108 --> 00:20:05,348
Speaker 8: but they also, you know, Roder wants to come back.

459
00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:08,508
Speaker 8: It seems like that's the opportunity that he has in

460
00:20:08,588 --> 00:20:12,908
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh to reunite with Mike McCarthy and be the guy there.

461
00:20:12,908 --> 00:20:15,748
Speaker 8: And the way that they've approached it, the Steelers have

462
00:20:15,868 --> 00:20:19,788
Speaker 8: I think they're confident that Rogers comes back, just because

463
00:20:19,868 --> 00:20:21,948
Speaker 8: if they weren't, they would have been more active. I

464
00:20:21,948 --> 00:20:26,348
Speaker 8: would have heard them more involved with these conversations with quarterbacks.

465
00:20:26,348 --> 00:20:28,308
Speaker 8: It seems like it's more of a hey, you know,

466
00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:30,388
Speaker 8: where are you now? They're going to have some options

467
00:20:30,388 --> 00:20:32,348
Speaker 8: if you look at the quarterback market, whether it's Kirk

468
00:20:32,388 --> 00:20:35,148
Speaker 8: Cousins or you know, some of these other options that

469
00:20:35,188 --> 00:20:36,068
Speaker 8: are potentially available.

470
00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:37,748
Speaker 9: I talked about Derek Carr yesterday.

471
00:20:37,948 --> 00:20:41,068
Speaker 8: By the way, teams did have conversations internally at least

472
00:20:41,228 --> 00:20:43,268
Speaker 8: about Derek Carr. But the Saints were going to want

473
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:47,188
Speaker 8: compensation back because they still hold his rights. Whereas for

474
00:20:47,268 --> 00:20:50,548
Speaker 8: Kyler Murray or to a tongue of Iloa or Gino Smith,

475
00:20:50,828 --> 00:20:52,708
Speaker 8: there was no cop Well, Gino there was a trade,

476
00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:55,348
Speaker 8: but the other guys there was no compensation via a trade.

477
00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:57,228
Speaker 8: And the base salary is so low because the other

478
00:20:57,228 --> 00:20:59,828
Speaker 8: teams are picking up the tab there. So the Steelers

479
00:20:59,828 --> 00:21:02,348
Speaker 8: are going to have options moving forward if Rogers doesn't

480
00:21:02,348 --> 00:21:04,508
Speaker 8: come back, but they're not hitting the throttle right now

481
00:21:04,788 --> 00:21:07,188
Speaker 8: with regard to Kyler Murray being their guy.

482
00:21:07,268 --> 00:21:09,268
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so once again Moron Rodgers coming up

483
00:21:09,308 --> 00:21:11,268
Speaker 3: in just a bit here on Good Morning Football. Meanwhile,

484
00:21:11,268 --> 00:21:13,628
Speaker 3: the Colts, speaking of quarterbacks, they brought back their guy,

485
00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:16,188
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, two year, eighty eight million dollar deal. You

486
00:21:16,228 --> 00:21:18,508
Speaker 3: could push that total up to one hundred million dollars

487
00:21:18,548 --> 00:21:21,068
Speaker 3: based on incentives and at the wide receiver spot.

488
00:21:21,108 --> 00:21:21,588
Speaker 4: I know something.

489
00:21:21,588 --> 00:21:23,828
Speaker 3: There's a lot of cash here. Alex Pierce, who is

490
00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:26,188
Speaker 3: a hot name on the agent market, four year one

491
00:21:26,228 --> 00:21:29,268
Speaker 3: hundred and fourteen million dollar deal. Are you buying what

492
00:21:29,308 --> 00:21:32,548
Speaker 3: the Colts have done? Were we a little sort of

493
00:21:32,548 --> 00:21:34,828
Speaker 3: concern right now based off of Seth what we saw

494
00:21:35,188 --> 00:21:36,428
Speaker 3: that finish at the end of the year.

495
00:21:37,548 --> 00:21:39,988
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a very epic collapse.

496
00:21:40,148 --> 00:21:42,068
Speaker 10: I mean, if you're a Colts fan, you know you

497
00:21:42,148 --> 00:21:45,148
Speaker 10: still have those feelings of what could have been last season.

498
00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:47,228
Speaker 2: Look, I am buying what they've done.

499
00:21:47,388 --> 00:21:50,148
Speaker 10: They locked up their quarterback, their QB one, they locked

500
00:21:50,188 --> 00:21:52,508
Speaker 10: up their wide receiver one. They're in a good position.

501
00:21:52,548 --> 00:21:54,868
Speaker 10: They got Tyler Warren there at tight end. They still

502
00:21:54,868 --> 00:21:57,468
Speaker 10: got Jonathan Taylor, and they got Shane Stike. That offense

503
00:21:57,548 --> 00:22:00,068
Speaker 10: is going to be fine. Look, this team wins the

504
00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:02,268
Speaker 10: AFC South. I'll throw it out there. They win the

505
00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:05,468
Speaker 10: AFC at salve if Daniel Jones doesn't get hurt. I

506
00:22:05,508 --> 00:22:07,068
Speaker 10: know they had a little bit of a rough stretch

507
00:22:07,108 --> 00:22:10,228
Speaker 10: before he went down, but he was kind of holding

508
00:22:10,268 --> 00:22:13,508
Speaker 10: the whole thing together. Remember they finished the season with

509
00:22:13,748 --> 00:22:19,228
Speaker 10: Philip Rivers. Philip Rivers old man Rivers out of retirement.

510
00:22:19,268 --> 00:22:22,108
Speaker 10: Were the only conversation we were having was can this

511
00:22:22,228 --> 00:22:25,948
Speaker 10: guy just win one game with the Colts to get.

512
00:22:25,748 --> 00:22:28,028
Speaker 2: Them into the playoffs. That's where we were at.

513
00:22:28,108 --> 00:22:30,068
Speaker 10: So I mean, if you throw Daniel Jones in there,

514
00:22:30,108 --> 00:22:32,468
Speaker 10: a healthy Daniel Jones at the way he was playing

515
00:22:32,948 --> 00:22:34,748
Speaker 10: for most of the first half of the season, I

516
00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:36,468
Speaker 10: think the Colts win the playoffs and we aren't even

517
00:22:36,508 --> 00:22:38,948
Speaker 10: having this buying to keep trying situations. So I am

518
00:22:38,948 --> 00:22:41,228
Speaker 10: buying what they've done. They made the moves. Kudos to

519
00:22:41,308 --> 00:22:43,468
Speaker 10: Daniel Jones, the guy who's written off in New York

520
00:22:43,668 --> 00:22:47,028
Speaker 10: and has now gotten paid. Man, gotten paid for what

521
00:22:47,188 --> 00:22:49,668
Speaker 10: he's done on the field. That is an awesome story.

522
00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:51,788
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm buying this. I'm buying it. Come in

523
00:22:51,828 --> 00:22:52,348
Speaker 2: then let's go.

524
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:56,388
Speaker 4: Look, Seth, I love the sentiment. Yeah, Q it sounded good.

525
00:22:56,388 --> 00:22:58,628
Speaker 4: They had the little one year Super Bowl window.

526
00:22:58,708 --> 00:22:59,908
Speaker 9: Man, it was one moment.

527
00:23:00,068 --> 00:23:04,188
Speaker 5: Look, I love it was Daniel Jones was able to

528
00:23:04,228 --> 00:23:05,628
Speaker 5: do the resurgence story.

529
00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:06,828
Speaker 3: It felt so good.

530
00:23:07,268 --> 00:23:09,268
Speaker 5: But I think there are some moves that have truly

531
00:23:09,348 --> 00:23:12,068
Speaker 5: hurt this team this afseason. I absolutely hate that they

532
00:23:12,148 --> 00:23:14,468
Speaker 5: let a guy like Zaire Franklin go, a four or

533
00:23:14,508 --> 00:23:16,508
Speaker 5: five time captain for that team, led the league in

534
00:23:16,548 --> 00:23:21,028
Speaker 5: tackles multiple years, has the tackling record there in Indianapolis.

535
00:23:21,028 --> 00:23:24,668
Speaker 5: You letting Nick cross Go, you're starting safety, you overpay

536
00:23:24,748 --> 00:23:27,828
Speaker 5: for Alec Pearson. I say overpaid because Alec Pierce is

537
00:23:27,828 --> 00:23:30,948
Speaker 5: more of a splash play wide receiver. I think, to

538
00:23:31,068 --> 00:23:33,108
Speaker 5: garner that type of money, you need to be a

539
00:23:33,228 --> 00:23:36,068
Speaker 5: routine play wide receiver, and for me, Alec Pierce is

540
00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:39,108
Speaker 5: more of a deep ball, flash play, splash play type

541
00:23:39,108 --> 00:23:41,828
Speaker 5: of receiver just over a thousand yards. I know he

542
00:23:41,868 --> 00:23:44,068
Speaker 5: had a lot of yards per catch, but he's not

543
00:23:44,148 --> 00:23:46,908
Speaker 5: a guy that is just so involved in an offense.

544
00:23:46,908 --> 00:23:49,108
Speaker 5: From a standpoint, like man, you can rely on him

545
00:23:49,148 --> 00:23:50,668
Speaker 5: down down after down.

546
00:23:50,708 --> 00:23:52,108
Speaker 4: I just don't feel that way about him.

547
00:23:52,108 --> 00:23:54,068
Speaker 5: I love the speed, I love the big play potential,

548
00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:57,148
Speaker 5: but I just I don't like that. And then you

549
00:23:57,188 --> 00:24:00,108
Speaker 5: also let Quinny pego one of your better pass rushers.

550
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:02,668
Speaker 5: I understand you went and got arden Key, but arden

551
00:24:02,748 --> 00:24:05,108
Speaker 5: Key is more of a true pass rush. Sure, Quidy

552
00:24:05,148 --> 00:24:07,268
Speaker 5: pay is a more complete defensive end. And I know

553
00:24:07,348 --> 00:24:09,788
Speaker 5: he's older and things of that nature, but I just

554
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:12,028
Speaker 5: don't like the moves. And I think that that little

555
00:24:12,068 --> 00:24:13,868
Speaker 5: one year Super Bowl windows.

556
00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:16,868
Speaker 8: Closed one year you know who else is a complete

557
00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:18,988
Speaker 8: defensive end. I'm so glad you brought that up because

558
00:24:18,988 --> 00:24:20,868
Speaker 8: Trey Hendrickson is a complete defensive end.

559
00:24:20,908 --> 00:24:22,748
Speaker 9: And Trey Hendrickson has history with.

560
00:24:22,748 --> 00:24:25,988
Speaker 8: Defensive coordinator lou Anromo and played unbelievable football for him

561
00:24:25,988 --> 00:24:29,588
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati. And I really thought the Indianapolis Colts, I

562
00:24:29,628 --> 00:24:31,628
Speaker 8: know they were involved, but I really thought they were

563
00:24:31,668 --> 00:24:33,308
Speaker 8: going to say we are going to go for it.

564
00:24:33,308 --> 00:24:35,148
Speaker 8: We're gonna go for it hard with Trey Hendrickson, and

565
00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,748
Speaker 8: maybe had not, maybe had themselves a window before the

566
00:24:38,788 --> 00:24:40,948
Speaker 8: Max Crosby trade fell apart, and the Raven said we

567
00:24:40,988 --> 00:24:42,588
Speaker 8: absolutely got to do what we have to do to

568
00:24:42,588 --> 00:24:45,348
Speaker 8: get Hendrickson that they could have potentially gotten it done.

569
00:24:45,388 --> 00:24:48,348
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna say keep trying because arden Key is good.

570
00:24:48,348 --> 00:24:51,068
Speaker 8: You're right, pass rusher are going to create a little

571
00:24:51,108 --> 00:24:54,868
Speaker 8: bit of an issue for quarterbacks, But Trey Hendrickson On

572
00:24:54,948 --> 00:24:57,708
Speaker 8: that defense would have been something that would have taken

573
00:24:57,708 --> 00:24:59,148
Speaker 8: it to the next level of my mind. So I'm

574
00:24:59,148 --> 00:25:01,188
Speaker 8: going to keep trying a little disappointed that they didn't

575
00:25:01,188 --> 00:25:02,868
Speaker 8: go even harder for Hendrickson.

576
00:25:02,948 --> 00:25:04,788
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be fair, by the way, Mike, they did

577
00:25:04,868 --> 00:25:06,548
Speaker 3: put the Chips in the middle of the table last

578
00:25:06,628 --> 00:25:08,628
Speaker 3: year at the trade deadline. Two first round picks. That's

579
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:12,348
Speaker 3: pretty significant. Compensation for Sauce Gardner, who once again was

580
00:25:12,388 --> 00:25:14,708
Speaker 3: banked up. I don't we you know, Sethan, I know

581
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,588
Speaker 3: you say, keep trying here, but at the same time, like,

582
00:25:16,668 --> 00:25:18,548
Speaker 3: let's see that guy out on the football field and

583
00:25:18,828 --> 00:25:22,028
Speaker 3: figure out what they end up looking like.

584
00:25:22,348 --> 00:25:23,948
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, look, you got to go out there

585
00:25:23,948 --> 00:25:26,108
Speaker 10: and play the games. It's not like the division's awful.

586
00:25:26,148 --> 00:25:27,988
Speaker 10: You know, the Texans are good, the Jaguars are good.

587
00:25:28,028 --> 00:25:28,828
Speaker 2: That's a good division.

588
00:25:28,868 --> 00:25:31,148
Speaker 10: But I do think they put themselves in the best

589
00:25:31,148 --> 00:25:32,548
Speaker 10: position to win the games.

590
00:25:32,588 --> 00:25:35,308
Speaker 2: And again we.

591
00:25:34,388 --> 00:25:37,308
Speaker 10: Look at the collapse, but Daniel Jones was out, he

592
00:25:37,468 --> 00:25:39,628
Speaker 10: was gone, he was done, and they were a different

593
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:42,428
Speaker 10: They were a shell of themselves with Philip Rivers leve

594
00:25:42,428 --> 00:25:44,068
Speaker 10: old man Rivers great story, but they were just a

595
00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:44,788
Speaker 10: shell of themselves.

596
00:25:44,828 --> 00:25:47,668
Speaker 2: So I come on, I'm buying. I like these moves.

597
00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:52,108
Speaker 2: Guys were they all were. Keep trying. I'm buying it, baby,

598
00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:52,988
Speaker 2: Let's go Colts.

599
00:25:53,388 --> 00:25:54,828
Speaker 3: I'm locked. I swear.

600
00:25:57,748 --> 00:26:00,548
Speaker 9: Max Crosby were traded to the Ravens.

601
00:26:00,148 --> 00:26:02,388
Speaker 4: For the fair of first round picks.

602
00:26:02,588 --> 00:26:05,028
Speaker 2: The trade for Max Crosby is now.

603
00:26:04,948 --> 00:26:08,468
Speaker 6: All I've got a responsibility to the raven to do

604
00:26:08,548 --> 00:26:09,668
Speaker 6: what we think is best.

605
00:26:09,788 --> 00:26:10,468
Speaker 2: For the club.

606
00:26:10,628 --> 00:26:13,308
Speaker 11: There are fans who are saying they got cold feet.

607
00:26:13,388 --> 00:26:16,748
Speaker 11: At worst, they are fans suggesting that something shady.

608
00:26:16,428 --> 00:26:18,668
Speaker 2: Is going on. Nobody more disappointed me when this.

609
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:22,388
Speaker 11: Gets even more nuclear is if somehow someway they go

610
00:26:22,428 --> 00:26:23,628
Speaker 11: after Trey Hendrickson.

611
00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:27,108
Speaker 7: Now, the Baltimore Ravens have a breed to terms with

612
00:26:27,308 --> 00:26:28,308
Speaker 7: Trey Hendrickson.

613
00:26:28,388 --> 00:26:31,668
Speaker 9: He is a Raider. Trey Hendrickson is a Raven. Up

614
00:26:31,868 --> 00:26:32,468
Speaker 9: is down?

615
00:26:32,948 --> 00:26:33,308
Speaker 4: Cold?

616
00:26:33,428 --> 00:26:33,908
Speaker 9: Is hot?

617
00:26:34,308 --> 00:26:34,468
Speaker 2: Well?

618
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:35,828
Speaker 6: Right now we have those picks right.

619
00:26:35,748 --> 00:26:37,628
Speaker 9: And they have both their first round kick.

620
00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:40,588
Speaker 11: I suspect that if Trey Hendrickson was not available, that

621
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:43,228
Speaker 11: Max Crosby is a Raven right now?

622
00:26:43,828 --> 00:26:46,188
Speaker 3: All right, here's what happens when you get a little

623
00:26:46,228 --> 00:26:48,228
Speaker 3: bit of drama on a Wednesday. You don't get to

624
00:26:48,268 --> 00:26:51,668
Speaker 3: do a planned segment whiteboard Wednesday. Instead, we got a

625
00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:55,388
Speaker 3: special whiteboard Thursday. So first question, guys, twenty twenty six

626
00:26:55,468 --> 00:26:58,388
Speaker 3: offseason moves so far that we think we could be

627
00:26:58,468 --> 00:27:00,348
Speaker 3: talking about next January.

628
00:27:00,708 --> 00:27:09,788
Speaker 5: Jason Is, I've got, Oh, that's a good one. Malik Willis,

629
00:27:09,988 --> 00:27:12,308
Speaker 5: I got Malik Willis. I think this is probably the

630
00:27:12,308 --> 00:27:17,308
Speaker 5: most interesting trade this free agency, you know, in terms

631
00:27:17,308 --> 00:27:19,468
Speaker 5: of a pickup. I think there's a lot of pressure

632
00:27:19,508 --> 00:27:21,628
Speaker 5: for this guy. I don't think there's any free agent

633
00:27:21,668 --> 00:27:24,068
Speaker 5: that has more pressure to go out there and perform.

634
00:27:24,308 --> 00:27:25,188
Speaker 4: I live in Florida.

635
00:27:25,308 --> 00:27:28,388
Speaker 5: I have heard the discourse around TUA. They are tired

636
00:27:28,428 --> 00:27:30,908
Speaker 5: of not having consistency at the quarterback position.

637
00:27:31,188 --> 00:27:32,508
Speaker 4: I think this is quite the gamble.

638
00:27:32,788 --> 00:27:35,508
Speaker 5: We saw what happen in Tennessee, and then also we

639
00:27:35,548 --> 00:27:38,308
Speaker 5: saw in Green Bay that this guy is capable of

640
00:27:38,348 --> 00:27:40,988
Speaker 5: showing off that first round potential that we saw coming

641
00:27:40,988 --> 00:27:44,548
Speaker 5: out of college. Now can he perform as the guy?

642
00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:46,988
Speaker 5: I felt like he was calm, cool and collected in

643
00:27:47,028 --> 00:27:49,268
Speaker 5: Green Bay because he wasn't the guy. It didn't matter

644
00:27:49,308 --> 00:27:51,988
Speaker 5: how he performed, because regardless, it was Jordan Love's team.

645
00:27:52,388 --> 00:27:54,948
Speaker 5: But this is now his team. They've given him the

646
00:27:54,988 --> 00:27:57,788
Speaker 5: keys to the city. Can he go out there and

647
00:27:57,948 --> 00:28:01,108
Speaker 5: have a consistent level of play. We saw some accuracy,

648
00:28:01,148 --> 00:28:03,388
Speaker 5: we saw some playmaking. He knew when to use his

649
00:28:03,508 --> 00:28:05,188
Speaker 5: legs when it threw it out of bounds. We saw

650
00:28:05,228 --> 00:28:08,028
Speaker 5: some maturity and growth in his game in Green Bay.

651
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:11,228
Speaker 5: Can he go out there and continue to play that

652
00:28:11,268 --> 00:28:15,028
Speaker 5: way in Miami. That's a big question mark and it's

653
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:17,908
Speaker 5: a big gamble, and we'll see next year. How we're

654
00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:19,868
Speaker 5: talking about Malik Willis after this season?

655
00:28:21,028 --> 00:28:22,948
Speaker 2: You Wilin' you wilin.

656
00:28:23,188 --> 00:28:25,788
Speaker 10: We've been talking about Malik Willis in January. There is

657
00:28:25,868 --> 00:28:29,548
Speaker 10: no chance we're gonna find out exactly what he's all about.

658
00:28:29,548 --> 00:28:31,668
Speaker 10: And November and then they're gonna be out of the

659
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:35,828
Speaker 10: playoff picture. We are not gonna be talking about Malik Willis,

660
00:28:35,988 --> 00:28:38,628
Speaker 10: but we are gonna be talking about the AFC East

661
00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:39,628
Speaker 10: because we will be.

662
00:28:39,628 --> 00:28:40,948
Speaker 2: Talking about Josh Allen.

663
00:28:41,148 --> 00:28:43,188
Speaker 10: We will be talking about the Buffalo Bills, and we

664
00:28:43,228 --> 00:28:46,708
Speaker 10: will be talking about the man who he is throwing

665
00:28:46,868 --> 00:28:50,948
Speaker 10: the football to in January when the Bills are in

666
00:28:50,988 --> 00:28:56,348
Speaker 10: the playoffs, because they have a competent quarterback, Dj Moore,

667
00:28:56,548 --> 00:29:00,108
Speaker 10: and this move, this trade, the Bills went out, they

668
00:29:00,188 --> 00:29:03,068
Speaker 10: went big, They traded a second round pick. They got

669
00:29:03,148 --> 00:29:07,388
Speaker 10: Dj Moore, who should maybe number one receivers, certainly had

670
00:29:07,388 --> 00:29:09,748
Speaker 10: been their number one receiver for the past few years. Obviously,

671
00:29:09,828 --> 00:29:11,668
Speaker 10: the Bears think they're going in a different direction. We

672
00:29:11,668 --> 00:29:15,948
Speaker 10: were home with Duonza and Luther Burden. However, Josh Allen

673
00:29:16,388 --> 00:29:20,468
Speaker 10: now gets a reliable target and when it is crunch

674
00:29:20,588 --> 00:29:24,228
Speaker 10: time and he has got to throw the ball to somebody,

675
00:29:24,468 --> 00:29:28,148
Speaker 10: he will look for number two Dj Moore. Maybe he's

676
00:29:28,148 --> 00:29:29,868
Speaker 10: not number two in Buffalo. I don't know, but you

677
00:29:29,948 --> 00:29:32,428
Speaker 10: get the idea. DJ Moore is going to be a

678
00:29:32,508 --> 00:29:35,428
Speaker 10: difference maker for Josh Allen because he's going to be

679
00:29:35,468 --> 00:29:39,628
Speaker 10: a reliable target for him when Josh Allen needs it

680
00:29:39,988 --> 00:29:44,548
Speaker 10: the most. And mark my words, Kaminda, mark my words,

681
00:29:44,988 --> 00:29:47,588
Speaker 10: the Bills will be playing in January, the Dolphins or

682
00:29:47,708 --> 00:29:50,948
Speaker 10: the Miami Packers as we want to call them. I

683
00:29:50,988 --> 00:29:53,028
Speaker 10: don't really know that's gonna go out, Mike ge what

684
00:29:53,028 --> 00:29:53,468
Speaker 10: do you think.

685
00:29:53,668 --> 00:29:55,268
Speaker 8: I think it's a great answer, and I think it's

686
00:29:55,308 --> 00:29:57,188
Speaker 8: gonna hurt a little bit when you see DJ Moore

687
00:29:57,228 --> 00:29:59,268
Speaker 8: making big plays the way that he used to make

688
00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:02,348
Speaker 8: them for the Bears. But listen, man, you can't keep mall.

689
00:30:02,828 --> 00:30:05,588
Speaker 8: Sometimes you wish you can, you can't keep more. Look

690
00:30:05,988 --> 00:30:08,508
Speaker 8: to me, there is one move in the NFL over

691
00:30:08,548 --> 00:30:13,748
Speaker 8: the last couple of days that is league changing. Gardner

692
00:30:13,788 --> 00:30:17,508
Speaker 8: Minshew Gardner Minshew signing with the Arizona Cardinals for five

693
00:30:17,548 --> 00:30:20,828
Speaker 8: point seventy five million dollars strong sund good for Gardner Minshew,

694
00:30:20,828 --> 00:30:23,588
Speaker 8: A great deal, awesome, really good backup.

695
00:30:23,908 --> 00:30:24,308
Speaker 9: Love it.

696
00:30:24,708 --> 00:30:26,788
Speaker 8: Here's why we're gonna be talking about it in January

697
00:30:27,028 --> 00:30:28,948
Speaker 8: because the Arizona Cardinals are going into the season with

698
00:30:28,988 --> 00:30:32,148
Speaker 8: Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett. KOVI said didn't win many

699
00:30:32,188 --> 00:30:34,668
Speaker 8: games for them as a starter. So here's why we'll

700
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:38,148
Speaker 8: be talking about it in January. Here's your draft order

701
00:30:38,508 --> 00:30:42,388
Speaker 8: for the twenty twenty seven NFL drafts, in which there

702
00:30:42,388 --> 00:30:46,548
Speaker 8: are expected to be multiple franchise quarterbacks, including potentially arch

703
00:30:46,628 --> 00:30:48,868
Speaker 8: Manning in that draft. You're gonna go back and say, hey,

704
00:30:48,868 --> 00:30:51,348
Speaker 8: the Cardinals really didn't go for it last year from

705
00:30:51,388 --> 00:30:54,108
Speaker 8: the quarterback position. They could have been more aggressive with

706
00:30:54,148 --> 00:30:55,668
Speaker 8: some of the guys that were available. They went for

707
00:30:55,748 --> 00:30:58,268
Speaker 8: Gardner Minshew, they came in it, I don't know, three

708
00:30:58,268 --> 00:31:00,548
Speaker 8: and fourteen perhaps maybe, and they've got the number one

709
00:31:00,588 --> 00:31:01,588
Speaker 8: overall pick in the.

710
00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:03,068
Speaker 9: Twenty twenty seven the NFL draft.

711
00:31:03,108 --> 00:31:04,588
Speaker 8: I think that's where we're gonna be talking about that

712
00:31:04,588 --> 00:31:05,628
Speaker 8: one come January.

713
00:31:05,668 --> 00:31:07,908
Speaker 9: We'll see if not save this clip make me look

714
00:31:07,948 --> 00:31:08,468
Speaker 9: like an idiot.

715
00:31:08,508 --> 00:31:10,268
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I think you're actually gonna look pretty smart.

716
00:31:10,268 --> 00:31:12,148
Speaker 3: By the way, kudos to you, Mike. Even all the

717
00:31:12,188 --> 00:31:13,828
Speaker 3: news that we've had over the last couple of days,

718
00:31:13,828 --> 00:31:15,588
Speaker 3: we haven't even gotten to this year's draft. You're already

719
00:31:15,588 --> 00:31:17,588
Speaker 3: looking the next year, which is why I absolutely love

720
00:31:17,628 --> 00:31:21,068
Speaker 3: you all right, aside from the Crosby news cycle, Here,

721
00:31:21,348 --> 00:31:24,988
Speaker 3: biggest surprise of the off season so far, Jason teemy

722
00:31:25,028 --> 00:31:26,428
Speaker 3: off here, what do we got?

723
00:31:27,348 --> 00:31:33,988
Speaker 5: Biggest surprise of the off season. I've got, Oh, the

724
00:31:33,988 --> 00:31:37,308
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions. I've got the Detroit Lions. And I say

725
00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:41,748
Speaker 5: that because I am surprised that the only move really

726
00:31:41,788 --> 00:31:43,708
Speaker 5: that they've made this off season.

727
00:31:43,788 --> 00:31:45,828
Speaker 2: Is along the offensive line.

728
00:31:45,948 --> 00:31:49,468
Speaker 4: They wait and got juice scrugs for David Montgomery.

729
00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:52,908
Speaker 5: Very sad, sonic and knuckles break up, but they show

730
00:31:52,988 --> 00:31:55,268
Speaker 5: up that offensive line. They've gone and grabbed a couple

731
00:31:55,268 --> 00:31:55,788
Speaker 5: of tackles.

732
00:31:55,828 --> 00:31:57,428
Speaker 2: They let Taylor Decker go.

733
00:31:58,108 --> 00:32:01,468
Speaker 5: But there are some issues on this team. Kirby Joseph

734
00:32:01,508 --> 00:32:04,068
Speaker 5: I from getting reports here in that you know, the knee,

735
00:32:04,068 --> 00:32:07,268
Speaker 5: and he isn't progressing the way they want to. Brian Branch,

736
00:32:07,308 --> 00:32:08,988
Speaker 5: they don't know when he's going to be coming back.

737
00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:12,348
Speaker 5: Alex Anzeloni, one of their leaders in the linebacker corps,

738
00:32:12,428 --> 00:32:15,148
Speaker 5: he's gone. I understand that they trust Jack Canley's a

739
00:32:15,228 --> 00:32:19,228
Speaker 5: po bowler last year, but they're beginning to be some

740
00:32:19,348 --> 00:32:21,428
Speaker 5: holes on this team. We keep talking about, is there

741
00:32:21,428 --> 00:32:24,348
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl window closed? I don't know if they're

742
00:32:24,388 --> 00:32:27,348
Speaker 5: making enough moves right now to keep it open. We're

743
00:32:27,428 --> 00:32:30,428
Speaker 5: still talking up about pass rush and a guy opposite

744
00:32:30,468 --> 00:32:34,628
Speaker 5: Aiden Hutchinson to make that pass rush more dynamic. Not

745
00:32:34,708 --> 00:32:37,548
Speaker 5: only that, the lack of free agency moves and the

746
00:32:37,668 --> 00:32:41,508
Speaker 5: lack of quality draft picks past the second round. I

747
00:32:41,508 --> 00:32:44,868
Speaker 5: think this is a very weak draft class across multiple

748
00:32:44,908 --> 00:32:48,708
Speaker 5: positions quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive line.

749
00:32:48,748 --> 00:32:50,108
Speaker 4: It is a weak class.

750
00:32:50,308 --> 00:32:52,308
Speaker 5: I know they've drafted really well, but I just don't

751
00:32:52,308 --> 00:32:55,668
Speaker 5: think there are great prospects this year compared to pass drafts.

752
00:32:55,788 --> 00:32:59,588
Speaker 5: So I'm not sure exactly what the thought process is

753
00:32:59,628 --> 00:33:01,628
Speaker 5: going on in the Detroit lines right now.

754
00:33:01,908 --> 00:33:03,428
Speaker 10: You know, I like where your head Zach and Benda.

755
00:33:03,468 --> 00:33:05,468
Speaker 10: I do it because I'm a Bears fan, and I

756
00:33:05,508 --> 00:33:08,868
Speaker 10: like when you talk bad about Aniston North team. But

757
00:33:08,908 --> 00:33:10,428
Speaker 10: I like where your head's at here. I'm going to

758
00:33:10,508 --> 00:33:12,508
Speaker 10: kind of go in a different direction, a little less

759
00:33:12,628 --> 00:33:15,188
Speaker 10: x's and o's, a little less wins and losses. Although

760
00:33:15,188 --> 00:33:16,988
Speaker 10: I do think this one's going to factor into that.

761
00:33:17,748 --> 00:33:20,508
Speaker 10: This is just gonna be weird. It's a weird thing

762
00:33:20,548 --> 00:33:24,108
Speaker 10: that's going to happen. Next year, Mike Evans is not

763
00:33:24,148 --> 00:33:27,068
Speaker 10: going to be playing for Tampa Bay and he's going

764
00:33:27,148 --> 00:33:29,708
Speaker 10: to be in the Bay Area with the San Francisco

765
00:33:29,828 --> 00:33:34,068
Speaker 10: forty nine ers, And to me, that is just so strange.

766
00:33:34,148 --> 00:33:36,748
Speaker 10: Mike Evans is a guy when you think Tampa Bay

767
00:33:36,788 --> 00:33:39,988
Speaker 10: in the last decade, that's Mike Evans is literally the

768
00:33:40,028 --> 00:33:42,268
Speaker 10: first thing that comes to mind. You just think of

769
00:33:42,348 --> 00:33:45,428
Speaker 10: thirteen in that Bucks uniform. You think about the consistency,

770
00:33:45,508 --> 00:33:47,748
Speaker 10: You think about what he's been able to do, whether

771
00:33:47,788 --> 00:33:50,788
Speaker 10: he's hurt, whether he's healthy, it doesn't matter. If we're

772
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:54,588
Speaker 10: talking about Tampa Bay's success, it is constantly hinging on

773
00:33:54,708 --> 00:33:57,588
Speaker 10: Mike Evans, and so it's going to be so strange

774
00:33:57,748 --> 00:33:59,348
Speaker 10: to see him in San Francisco.

775
00:33:59,468 --> 00:33:59,668
Speaker 2: Now.

776
00:33:59,908 --> 00:34:01,708
Speaker 10: On the football side of that, I think it's an

777
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:05,068
Speaker 10: incredible move. I understand you're saying, I want to go

778
00:34:05,068 --> 00:34:08,228
Speaker 10: win a Super Bowl. Now it's a little bit of

779
00:34:08,228 --> 00:34:11,668
Speaker 10: an indictment on maybe where Tampa Bay's at as an organization,

780
00:34:12,148 --> 00:34:15,268
Speaker 10: and then an endorsement where San Francisco is at. And

781
00:34:15,308 --> 00:34:17,508
Speaker 10: I think you put all these pieces together, you give

782
00:34:17,668 --> 00:34:21,108
Speaker 10: Rock Purdy just an incredible weapon in Mike Evans, and

783
00:34:21,108 --> 00:34:24,548
Speaker 10: someone who's a legend and obviously a great perceiving pedigree

784
00:34:24,588 --> 00:34:26,708
Speaker 10: in the city of San Francisco. That team has done

785
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:28,788
Speaker 10: pretty well for itself in that department over the years.

786
00:34:28,828 --> 00:34:30,908
Speaker 10: So it's just going to be so weird to see

787
00:34:30,908 --> 00:34:34,828
Speaker 10: Mike Evans suiting up in the Golden Red. I just

788
00:34:35,148 --> 00:34:37,628
Speaker 10: I can't It's weird, man, It's weird, Mike. I don't

789
00:34:37,628 --> 00:34:39,588
Speaker 10: know how to feel about it.

790
00:34:39,588 --> 00:34:42,668
Speaker 9: It is weird. It's fascinating. I can't wait to see it. Look,

791
00:34:42,708 --> 00:34:43,828
Speaker 9: I'm wrong constantly.

792
00:34:43,908 --> 00:34:46,828
Speaker 8: Okay, so when I say this, now, I say it

793
00:34:46,828 --> 00:34:50,668
Speaker 8: with all due respect. There are blogs and websites that

794
00:34:51,148 --> 00:34:55,148
Speaker 8: track NFL contracts. They projected Jalen Phillips in the area

795
00:34:55,188 --> 00:34:58,548
Speaker 8: of fifteen to seventeen million dollars leading up.

796
00:34:58,468 --> 00:34:59,188
Speaker 9: The free agency.

797
00:34:59,188 --> 00:35:01,468
Speaker 8: I started to ask questions in Philadelphia about the edge

798
00:35:01,548 --> 00:35:04,268
Speaker 8: rusher that they traded for at the trade deadline. I said,

799
00:35:04,388 --> 00:35:07,428
Speaker 8: he gonna get over twenty and they were like, yeah,

800
00:35:07,468 --> 00:35:10,828
Speaker 8: he's going to get over twenty. How about thirty thirty

801
00:35:11,588 --> 00:35:15,308
Speaker 8: million dollars per season for Jalen? And now, look, that

802
00:35:15,468 --> 00:35:18,828
Speaker 8: was the Panthers sort of doing what the Ravens did

803
00:35:18,868 --> 00:35:22,268
Speaker 8: with with Grey Henderson, where it's like we're not missing on,

804
00:35:22,548 --> 00:35:25,268
Speaker 8: like keep going keep I would love to see the

805
00:35:25,628 --> 00:35:28,988
Speaker 8: email chain from Dan Morgan or Brent Taylis or whoever

806
00:35:28,988 --> 00:35:32,268
Speaker 8: sent it in Carolina to Jalen phillips agent, because I'd

807
00:35:32,308 --> 00:35:34,708
Speaker 8: love to see where it started. I'd love to see

808
00:35:35,188 --> 00:35:37,548
Speaker 8: the Eagles offers that were. I want to see it

809
00:35:37,548 --> 00:35:39,308
Speaker 8: all because it's probably just.

810
00:35:39,268 --> 00:35:41,948
Speaker 9: Like more more, more more.

811
00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:44,708
Speaker 8: Like that meme that you see that's out there, Jalen

812
00:35:44,748 --> 00:35:48,668
Speaker 8: Phillips getting thirty million dollars per season, which was when

813
00:35:48,748 --> 00:35:50,308
Speaker 8: Max Krogby was doing his deal.

814
00:35:50,668 --> 00:35:52,428
Speaker 9: His name's on the screen. That was the top of

815
00:35:52,508 --> 00:35:55,228
Speaker 9: the pass rusher market. If I'm not mistaken, And now

816
00:35:55,348 --> 00:35:57,748
Speaker 9: Jalen Phillips is up there, more power to you. Congratulation.

817
00:35:57,908 --> 00:35:59,868
Speaker 9: Jalen Phillips did not see that number coming.

818
00:36:00,028 --> 00:36:00,828
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm with you.

819
00:36:00,868 --> 00:36:03,028
Speaker 3: There obviously a force after that trade deadline in that

820
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:07,228
Speaker 3: Philadelphia uniform while Gino Smith Let's go Mike headed back

821
00:36:07,268 --> 00:36:10,308
Speaker 3: to the Jets where he started his career twenty twenty

822
00:36:10,348 --> 00:36:12,628
Speaker 3: two when he was with the Seahawks. Smith, how about

823
00:36:12,628 --> 00:36:16,788
Speaker 3: that little gem to ESPN's Lisa Assaulters after beating Russell

824
00:36:16,828 --> 00:36:18,988
Speaker 3: Wilson and the Broncos take a listen.

825
00:36:20,428 --> 00:36:22,308
Speaker 2: So for the folks you said had bring you off,

826
00:36:22,348 --> 00:36:22,988
Speaker 2: maybe what.

827
00:36:22,908 --> 00:36:23,828
Speaker 4: Do they say to them?

828
00:36:24,268 --> 00:36:26,508
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wrote me off. I ain't right back though,

829
00:36:27,028 --> 00:36:28,348
Speaker 2: that's the problem. I ain't right back.

830
00:36:28,428 --> 00:36:32,268
Speaker 10: Let's go congratulations, you know.

831

00:36:44,508 --> 00:36:47,308
Speaker 5: This one is pretty easy and it is a runaway

836
00:36:47,308 --> 00:36:51,668
Speaker 5: from me. It is Richard Sherman postgame the beef with Crabtree.

837
00:36:51,908 --> 00:36:54,428
Speaker 12: I'm the best broadcast in the game. That's what you

838
00:36:54,468 --> 00:36:56,388
Speaker 12: do when you can put me within a sorry like

00:37:05,068 --> 00:37:07,228
Speaker 2: me what a sorry, receive it like craftree. That's the

842
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:10,108
Speaker 2: result you don't get. Don't you ever talk about me?

843
00:37:14,548 --> 00:37:18,668
Speaker 5: This is the raw emotion of football of the NFL.

844
00:37:18,828 --> 00:37:21,508
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the peak of competitiveness.

845
00:37:21,548 --> 00:37:22,828

00:37:34,268 --> 00:37:36,308
Speaker 4: is an all timer. From Richard Sherman.

851
00:37:36,748 --> 00:37:38,708
Speaker 2: That is an all timer. That isn't all time.

854
00:37:45,788 --> 00:37:47,828
Speaker 10: to the core. I don't even really need to say it.

855
00:37:47,868 --> 00:37:51,388
Speaker 10: I actually can't say it, but my head coach, he

Speaker 8: I was working for Fox at that at that time,

00:39:36,228 --> 00:39:37,028
Speaker 9: in the locker room.

890
00:39:36,988 --> 00:39:39,148
Speaker 8: And pretty much say the same stuff about a Keith

891
00:39:39,188 --> 00:39:43,188
Speaker 8: to leave Albert Breer than an NFL network grabs him

892
00:39:43,228 --> 00:39:45,828
Speaker 8: before he gets to the locker room. And they did

893
00:39:45,868 --> 00:39:48,308
Speaker 8: a much better job of getting that clip on the air,

894
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:51,188
Speaker 8: out there on social, and before ours can get out there,

895
00:39:51,468 --> 00:39:52,748
Speaker 8: Brears was off and running.

896
00:39:52,748 --> 00:39:54,868
Speaker 9: Here it is what happened between.

00:39:59,588 --> 00:40:00,188
Speaker 2: I saw.

902
00:40:04,428 --> 00:40:07,788
Speaker 8: A tip of the cap to Albert Breer and the

903
00:40:07,828 --> 00:40:11,668
Speaker 8: folks at NFL Network. I believe that was Ed O'Brien.

904
00:40:11,708 --> 00:40:13,268
Speaker 8: I just saw in the background. Who was this field

905
00:40:13,268 --> 00:40:15,748
Speaker 8: producer that night. Good job by you, Ed to make

906

00:40:18,308 --> 00:40:19,228
Speaker 8: You stole.

908
00:40:19,548 --> 00:40:22,668
Speaker 9: The legendary quote I had. He cursed in mind.

909
00:40:22,748 --> 00:40:23,428
Speaker 3: I was better.

910
00:40:25,228 --> 00:40:26,348
Speaker 9: There's a lot to unpack there.

911
00:40:26,428 --> 00:40:28,308
Speaker 3: Number One, shout out to Ed, who is truly one

912
00:40:28,308 --> 00:40:30,548

916
00:40:36,468 --> 00:40:39,628
Speaker 3: it's just abundantly clear there will be some chirpin out there.

917
00:40:39,628 --> 00:40:42,468
Speaker 3: But he does a remarkable job for us here on

918
00:40:42,588 --> 00:40:44,028
Speaker 3: the NFL Network.
