Right, here's the problem. And people at home 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: don't know this, but we do this show. You know 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: that we do the show from the stadium. But you 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: also know if you if you've been driven by One 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Bill's Drive lately, they've got this big construction project going 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: on their up great date in the facilities right right. 19 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: So as a result of that, every so often start 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: rattling around in the old building right like just off 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: this between the walls of our studio here they're up 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: and around they got these and every there's like there's literally, 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: on any given day, fifty guys walking around in hard 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: hats and safety vests. Right. The dust they kick up 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: is killing us. I mean it is killing us. I 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: mean the whole field House looks like, you know, looks 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: like a grateful Dead concert in there, and you know, 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: and and then here it's like all this. I just 29 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: hope it's not as best as dust or something like that, right, 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: because it took you out. We were feeling it late 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: last week. You never you never you never recovered over 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: the weekend, and you can feel it every time you 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: come in here. It's one of those things. It's just 34 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: bad enough that when you leave, you've kind of noticed it, 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: you feel good, and you forget about it, right, so 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: you don't do you can breathe again, Yeah, you can breathe. 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: You can't forget about it. But then when you come 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: back the next day, it's like, oh, oh, oh, it's 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: HiT's still here. Like every day we're kind of fighting this. 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: We haven't really said anything about it on the air. 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: It's killing us. This sounds like a giant Osha claim 42 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: we have here. Are you interested. I mean for what 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: I can get it, but it's cold. But it's also 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: that it's taken you out of it though, right, because yeah, 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: we gotta some days is worse than others. But man, 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: they are, but they are really they're tearing to join up. 47 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: They really are. They're tearing the joint up. And so 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: I know you got the coughs switch today, so they're 49 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: tearing the place up, and it's it took its toll 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: on you. I know it did. Even now right now 51 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: as we started talking, we just came in, sat down 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: the studio. I'm starting to feel it all, feel it, 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: and I walked over here. Yeah it's fine in our office. 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, so enough of ours that we're not going 55 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: to complain anymore. That's our that's our start to the 56 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: show as a complaint about our workspace. I did not 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: watch the show yesterday, I'm sorry to say, Steve. I 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: just was kind of out of it and napping, trying 59 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: to get better. But I know you and Chris Brown 60 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: did a great job and you had a lot to 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: talk about. It looked like that would have been a 62 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: fun day with everything going on. H Yeah, and it 63 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: right as we came on year is when the tampering 64 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: period began like noons, So you know how social media 65 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: just started going boom bom bom boom, boom boom. Here, 66 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's phone and the computer screen started lightening 67 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: up with everything that was being tweeted out there by 68 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: all the outlets, you know, all these some of these 69 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: every team has somebody in house from the local media 70 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: and you know, kind of keeping track of them, and 71 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: they're all tweeting it out of what teams are doing. 72 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: And then you know, you get even stuff about the Bills. 73 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, the Frank Gore thing was a rumor yesterday. 74 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Now he's he's gonna sign with the Bills. You're gonna 75 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: have the we're gonna have like you know, of the 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: active players in the league, the mount rushmore of running 77 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: backs in the backfield for the Buffalo Bills, Frank Gore 78 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: and Lashawn McCoy. H if they line up u in 79 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the same backfield, it'll be the and it'll be the 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: most prolific rushing duo for career yards in NFL history 81 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: to ever line up in the same backfield together outside 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl. Probably Bills were busy yesterday though, 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: and it got busy even after you guys went off 84 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: the air righth'm let's recap what the Bills did yesterday 85 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and keep it in mind, the signing period does not 86 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: begin until four pm tomorrow, and yet we're in the 87 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: legal negotiation period and stuff leaks out and that's how 88 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: we know about these and even though they're unconfirmed, and 89 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: I believe the biggest move they made, Steve, was to 90 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: address the center position. Mitch Morse signs reportedly a four year, 91 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: forty four and a half million out a contract. He'll 92 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: sign it tomorrow. Spent the last four years with the 93 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. We knew the Bills were interested in 94 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: offensive linemen. We figured they were interested in centers, and 95 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: it was between Mitch Morse and Matt Paradis, who is 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: still out there, still on sign but Mitch Morse. It's 97 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: a big deal from the Bills. He'll become the highest 98 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: paid center in the National Football League and that's a 99 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: great way to start when you start rebuilding your offensive line. 100 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I love that signing mainly because when you look at 101 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: Matt Paradis and Mitch Morse, Paradis is thirty, Mitch Morse 102 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: is twenty six. He's just you know, he's just younger, 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: and you always project your feelings toward young guys on Hi, 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: maybe he's maybe he's a little hungry. And that's kind 105 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: of the kind of model that Sean McDermott said when 106 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: he started to revamp his coaching staff. He wanted younger, 107 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: hungrier guys. He's gonna make four years, four point forty 108 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: four point five million, uh, and you can you can bet. 109 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: I know people in buffal I'm I like, I love 110 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: the signing. I love it because it and even the 111 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: guys that we're gonna get to in a minute, all 112 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: four of these signing. He's not not so much the 113 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson thing, although it does speak to it a 114 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: little bit. But these signings Mitch Morris, Tyler Croft and 115 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: and Gore a little bit too. Not not so much, 116 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: but those two Mitch Tyler Croft and Mitch Moore's particularly, 117 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: they seem like st strategic signings, right. I mean, they 118 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: seem like there's some thought that went into him. They 119 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: seems they seem well thought out. And you can see 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: that this is a team that is on it. You know, 121 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: they got guys they want to get and I love 122 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: it when the team gets the guys. They want to 123 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: get um and that's what this this says to me. 124 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: And I get Mitch Morse away from the Kansas City Chiefs. 125 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: He comes over from a team that was that was 126 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: that you know, looks like they're gonna be back in 127 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs again this year. Uh. And yeah, he was 128 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: there last year with him he knows what it is 129 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: to run a really high powered offense. Um, I'm excited 130 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: about that. That's a that's a great signing. I think, guy, 131 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: you can plug in and let's play for a long time. 132 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: Just four years in the NFL. And um, obviously he 133 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: had some health issues a year ago. Um, but I 134 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: think the Bills feel pretty good about where he's at 135 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: health wise. Obviously they would have checked him out before 136 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: they You're not gonna make him the highest paid center 137 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: in the league if he's if he doesn't pass that 138 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: he had had allowed if you see that on on 139 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: the screen if you're watching, allowed just five pressures in 140 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty four pass blocking snaps. He's tough 141 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: to get passed. Yeah, he hasn't allowed a sack. He 142 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: hasn't allowed to sacks. It's two thy fifteen. Yeah. I 143 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: like the signing. What can you say the other big signing, 144 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: I guess we're ranking him. Signing of the tight end 145 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Croft will be second up on the list for 146 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: the Bills. The Bills signed a three year deal worth 147 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: up to twenty one million dollars average of seven million 148 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: dollars a year for Tyler Croft, who's played for the 149 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Croft replaces Charles Clay, although he's been mostly 150 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: a blocking tight end through most of his tenure in Cincinnati. 151 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Bills are gonna pay him a six point three million 152 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: upfront this year with a two point four million dollars 153 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: signing bonus. He's a third round pick in twenty fifteen. Look, 154 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: the Bills need tight ends. We know that they got 155 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: a guy who's playing in the league, another young guy. 156 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: He's twenty six years old. The only other contract and 157 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: the only other tight end under contract right now is 158 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: Jason Krum. They need more tight ends, at least one 159 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: in the draft and maybe another free agent, maybe a 160 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: street free agent. But I like this signing too. Steve 161 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: obviously addresses a need. It is an unheralded guy, not 162 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: a particularly productive guy in the passing game yet, but 163 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: a good blocker. And I think that's important to this team. Tyler. Absolutely, 164 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: it's a spot then it's a place of need. You 165 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: gotta experienced young guy who was on the same team. 166 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: And it's interesting too, his coach, his teammate, Tyler Eiffert, 167 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: who was more prolific, is still out there. Nobody has 168 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: signed him yet Um, but Tyler Croft, now signing with 169 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, is going to come on board. And 170 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: that's it'll be interesting to see how he takes shape. 171 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, third third round pick in the twenty 172 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: fifteen draft, Um had sevent tds and four hundred yards 173 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: receiving last year. Uh, it's gonna be his fifth year 174 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, And it's another one of those 175 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: signings that I think, Yeah, I see it, you know there, 176 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: And I was kind of thinking that that's this is 177 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: the tack that the Bills would take in their free agency. 178 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: They were gonna get guys that maybe you and me 179 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of around the league. You know, you 180 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: see all the top names at these positions. I mean, 181 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: as you go deeper and deeper and you find out 182 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the guys of the Bills were really after I think 183 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: it's obvious that they really did some homework at another 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: level that I just I just don't. I mean, Mitch 185 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Morris was a guy who you start looking at all. 186 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: Why wasn't he the top center? He's twenty six and 187 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: not thirty one paradise it was maybe the top rated 188 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: center in the league in a couple of respects. But man, 189 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: old man, Mitch Morris is a great fine Tyler. This guy, 190 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Croft as another one of those guys that is 191 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: just like this, just below the very elite guys that 192 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: you're going to break the bank. But you're getting these 193 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: guys for the right price at the right time of 194 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: their career and at a point where you still think, yeah, 195 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: and a new team, these guys are gonna shift gears 196 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: and really come in and play hard. And I think 197 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: that's I just love the direction so far. They still 198 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. They still got 199 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, but there, but I 200 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: like the start that the bills are off on. They signed, 201 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: you guys talking about this yesterday, the reported league they 202 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: have agreed to terms on a one year deal with 203 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: running back Frank Gore, who will be thirty six years 204 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: old in a couple of months. In the month of 205 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: May one year deal. We're two million dollars, so it's 206 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: a low cost deal for Frank Gore. He's thirty six 207 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: years old. He played with the Dolphins last year and 208 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: some effective moments last year. But I'm not saying this 209 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: is a head scratcher's tea. But this one got me 210 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: by surprise when you look at Lashawn McCoy and and 211 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory in the backfield already. Now, there's got to 212 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: be a role somewhere in the running back mix for 213 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: a younger running back, right, And what is the signing, 214 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: the upcoming signing to Frank Gore mean to Chris Ivory? 215 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: Does it mean anything? Do they keep those three? Well, 216 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: that's just an interesting signing. Again, not exactly a head scratcher, 217 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: but something that got my attention anyway. Well, here's the thing. 218 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: You talk to the people, and I spoke too. I didn't. 219 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: I covered the Dolphins a couple of times last year 220 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: during a regular season. We actually had a production meaning 221 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: with Frank Bore at on one of those occasions. And 222 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: he is a guy. Well, i'll tell you their head coach, 223 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: Adam Gase, sought him out, wanted him on his team, 224 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: knew him very well knows him, knew him personally, knew 225 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: he was the kind of guy that you had to 226 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: have on your team. He's a consummate professional, a hard 227 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: working guy all through the week getting into the game. 228 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: He sets a great standard of preparation for the rest 229 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: of the guys. I mean, that's part of the reason 230 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: they bring him in, no question. And as Bill's found 231 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: out last year and people found out last year, he 232 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: averaged four point six yards a rush for Miami, he 233 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: had seven hundred and twenty yards rushing. This is a 234 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: guy that can really get it done. He's still got 235 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: some physical runs in him, and that I think is 236 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: all for all those reasons, they're not breaking the bank 237 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: on him. No. One year, two millions. Yeah, I would 238 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: imagine this is a signing that it is appealing to 239 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Sean McDermot, especially in terms of leadership too. Frank Goreon 240 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: is an acknowledged leader, has been through fourteen seasons in 241 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: the NFL with the Niners, the Colts, the Dolphins last year, 242 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: and I would think and a guy who plays a 243 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: McDermot I'm talking about who places a great deal of 244 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: faith in leadership, player driven leadership. He looks at Frank 245 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: Gore and say and says, that's a guy who can 246 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: obviously be our backup running back, but can also be 247 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: a leader to many of our young players. I'm sure 248 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: they factored into it a little bit. Absolutely, absolutely, I 249 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: think he's a He's an instant credible, instantly credible guy 250 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: in the locker room. When he's Guys are gonna listen 251 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,359 Speaker 1: when he does things. Guys are gonna watch when he 252 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: sets an example, young guys are gonna learn from it. 253 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: And that's as important an attribute as you can have, 254 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: particularly as a backup running back. There's no doubt. And 255 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him in a Bill's uniform 256 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: with Leshaun McCoy and get a picture of the two 257 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: of them with Thurman Thomas. You know, yeah, I want 258 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: to see that. But I mean that I think he's 259 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: gonna really help him off the field. He's gonna help 260 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: him during the week. Get ready. There's no doubt that 261 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to bring in and they will bring 262 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: in a younger, a younger running back as well. In fact, 263 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: probably a couple of them. Don't know what this means 264 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: for Chris Ivory, but I do know this. I like 265 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: the signing. I like Frank Gore. He's a great human being, 266 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: great leader in locker room. He's still got a lot 267 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: of production left in him, and with an upgraded offensive line, 268 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: both he and Leshawn McCoury are gonna get some things 269 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: done in the running game that they were not able 270 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: to do in twenty eighteen. So I'm waiting for that. 271 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun. Before the Bills played the Dolphins 272 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: last year, you and I talked about Frank Gore here 273 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: on the show and talking about whether he's a Hall 274 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: of Fame candidate. He is. I mean, it was a debate, 275 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: right some people thought absolutely he is. Others thought, well, 276 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see and we can continue to 277 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: that discussion from a Buffalo perspective. Now with Frank, remember 278 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: that discussion. I think he is a Hall of Famer, 279 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: no question about it. You look at that, you can 280 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: look at where he stands on the all time record. 281 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna be this season. He could pass Barry Sanders 282 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: into number three on the all time rushing list. So 283 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: when he's eligible, in my opinion, he's in. And that's 284 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: always a question. Is is he a first ballot Guy's 285 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: he in? Automatic? When he gets when he gets ready 286 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: to go in. I think, yes, I think Frank Gore 287 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: is automatic. I don't think he's in question about it right. 288 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: It's interesting too because he's coming into a team where 289 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: LaShaun McCoy has made no bones about it. He wants 290 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: to get there, he wants to get to that twelve 291 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,239 Speaker 1: thousand yard threshold. He wants to be in that conversation. 292 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: And the Bill sign a guy who is actually there already. 293 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty interesting dynamic. Um. We'll get back to 294 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: running backs in a second. One more signing announced yesterday 295 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: and this one and be completed before tomorrow. At four, 296 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: cornerback Kevin Johnson. He was a street free agent. He 297 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: was not an unrestricted free agent. He was released a 298 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago by the Houston Texans. Came in 299 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: for a visit with the Bills last week, and the 300 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: Bills have reportedly signed him to a contract. No terms 301 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: disclosed yet. This is a guy who can step in 302 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: and start for the Bills, and he can stay healthy right. 303 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: Former first round pick of the Texans back in twenty 304 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: fifteen has played a lot, but has also missed a 305 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: lot of time with the various injuries including concussion issues 306 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: last last year. So the guy to watch Kevin Johnson, 307 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: a potential starters, got the big frame, the big body 308 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: that he's a good zone defense corner that the Bills 309 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: obviously play a lot of. But we'll see gott to 310 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: be healthy, and I'm sure the Bills have checked him out. 311 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: We are told that he may even be visiting the 312 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: complexity anymy even get that signing done today. They do 313 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: not have to wait until tomorrow to complete the deal 314 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: with Kevin Johnson. I think it was I think Chris 315 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Brown said yesterday either John Butler or Bob Babbage, one 316 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: of them coached him in Houston. I'm not sure which 317 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: guy Butler, John but Or coached him in Houston. So 318 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Bills have some inside as to what 319 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: he's like in a defensive back room, what he's like 320 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: on the practice field, what his work ethic is, what 321 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: his attitude is, how he likes to be coached, kind 322 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: of locker room guy. They've got firsthand knowledge with one 323 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: of the guys on their staff about him, so they 324 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: pursued him, and John Butler probably helped Kevin Johnson decide 325 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to be here. So all that is speaks favorably favorably 326 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: for how that might work out. I think the Bills 327 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: were they knew what they were getting and they went 328 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: out and signed him. And Kevin Johnson is going to 329 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: be a Buffalo Bill, so we'll try and get him 330 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: on if he does sign, Yeah, maybe we can get 331 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: him on today. Maybe in the bill. We'll work at it. 332 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: All right, So we're talking about running backs with Frank Gordon. Now, 333 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: there was this report earlier today. I believe it was 334 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: a tweet from Josina Anderson who included the Bills in 335 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: her list of teams that may be a factory in 336 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: Levy on Bell signing. I don't know about that. There 337 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: are other reports coming out right as we hit the 338 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: era today that the Jets are pretty much ready to 339 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: sign Levi on Bell. That's been the rumor for weeks now. 340 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Nothing official yet from the Jets, really just checking now, 341 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: but um, I don't know if that's a that works 342 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: for the Bills and Levion Bell, Steve for a couple 343 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: of reasons. Number one would be the money. I mean, 344 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: can you keep Levion Bell and and U Shitty McCoy 345 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: in the same roster? Tie up? What eighteen million dollars 346 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: at least in running backs. I don't think so. Yeah, 347 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. She included the Bills as 348 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: a potential landing spot, but it appears that he's gonna 349 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: wind up with the Jets, which is fine. I guess 350 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, I mean, if they signed, 351 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean, what are you You got a Lashawn McCoy, 352 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: Frank Gore, and Levion Bell all of a sudden, You're 353 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: you're turned into you know, the last twenty eighteen version 354 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: of the Baltimore Ravens. You're gonna run the ball twenty 355 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: five thirty times a game and asked Josh Allen to 356 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: maybe pitch in some running and then throw it, what 357 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty times a game? Not even so that 358 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: would but wow, that would be quite the back, quite 359 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: the running back. One thing, I don't think it's likely, No, 360 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: not with the Frank Gore signing. But the one thing 361 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: I think we all learned last week last Friday, and 362 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: never say never. You have to feel that way, right 363 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: with the way the Antonio round thing went down last Friday. 364 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: So that's where you got. You're updated on the Bills. 365 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Around the league, the Jets are a big story we're 366 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. We got a couple of good 367 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: guests today. Coming up at the bottom of this hour, 368 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk with Mitch Holthus, who's the play by 369 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: play voice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Want to talk 370 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: to him about Bill's news center. Mitch Morse, So Mitch 371 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: on Mitch. Coming up at twelve thirty today. We may 372 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: get Kevin Johnson in here a little bit later on 373 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: today if he completes his contact and two o'clock or 374 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: one thirty rather. Mike Janetti from spot Track. Also, this 375 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: is just coming across because all this stuff's still happening. 376 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: It was a kind of a floury yesterday as it began, 377 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: but it's still happening. In Rappaport has verified his account 378 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: has verified that the Lions free agent pass rusher Ziggynsa 379 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: who's one of the top pass rushers on the market. 380 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: He's he has a visit set with the Buffalo Bills. 381 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: Then he's going to go to New Orleans a visit 382 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: with the Saints. Both. I think both teams, they say, 383 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: are quite interested. They both have to give him a physical, 384 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: which is important because he's recovering from a shoulder injury, 385 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: but Ziggy reportedly on his way to visit Buffalo, it's 386 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: good in New Orleans and New Orleans. That's good because 387 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: that gets us to our question of the day, really 388 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: and what we want to begin talking about with you today. 389 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: So one day in the books, as far as the 390 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: legal negotiation period, today is day two. Tomorrow at four 391 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: they can begin to sign players. But what's next for 392 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills? So so far their reported hall is 393 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: a center, a tight end, a defenser back in Kevin Johnson, 394 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: and a venteran running back. So what's next? What would 395 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: you like to see next for the Bills? Give us 396 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: a call.

And I 412 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: do think they have a need for each each of 413 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: those categories. Three now one of the things, think about it. 414 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: And I like the Ziggy Ansa report that he is reportedly, 415 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: according to according to Ian Rappaport, going to visit the Bills. 416 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: I like that because Ziggy Onsa might be right at 417 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: or near the top of the list in terms of 418 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: edge rushers right now, justin Houston, in Kansas City and 419 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: Ziggy Onza. But keep in mind, there's a wealth of 420 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: edge rushing talent in this year's draft, so you may 421 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: not have to go deep into free agency or go 422 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: hemmy in free agency to get ed rush edge rush 423 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: hell receivers. Well, who's out there? Golden Tate remains out there, 424 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: Tyler Williams from the Charges is out there.

I 426 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: think you have to figure that they've got their eye 427 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: on some of those wide receivers and maybe somebody who 428 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: haven't thought of yet Steve Yeah and Offensive Lineman. Still 429 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: they have a need, right I mean, there are tackles, 430 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Darryl Williams from Carolina, we talked about him last week 431 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: and reports of Bill's interest in Daryl Williams of Carolina. 432 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody on the inside.

Who's out there. I don't know 435 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: if he'd fit the culture, but Tim Jernigan's out there. 436 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: Corey Legate from the LA Chargers. Corey Leegate is a 437 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: legit pass rusher as well. He's got a really good 438 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: pass rush move and a great repertoire. Danny Shelton's out there, 439 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: Darius Filling is out the Filon is out there, Malcolm Brown, 440 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: Mohammed Wilkerson, Jonathan Hankins from Oakland, Mohammed Wilkerson from Green Bay, 441 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown from New England.

It starts with Ziggianza. Henry Anderson 444 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: from the Jets is a free agent Okah four from 445 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: New Orleans and Cameron Wake from Miami that we all 446 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: know about here in Buffalo. So those guys are all 447 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: out there, and I think from that zig Za and 448 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: Corey Legit on that list.

Yeah, and that where we were, But 457 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: I would consider Justin Houston one of the top three agents. 458 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: Justin Houston's out There is a Darius Smith from Baltimore, 459 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: kJ Wright from Seattle, Dion Buchanan from Arizona as an 460 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, Preston Smith from Washington, Shaquille Barrett from Denver, 461 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden from Arizona, Jordan Hicks from Philly, Clay Matthews 462 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: from Green Bay, Mark Baron from the La Rams, Preston 463 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: Brown Cincinnati.

Where do you want to go? Do you 478 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: want to get one of these edge rushers? Do you 479 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: want to get a wide receiver? From the tweet sheet, 480 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: Brian clin tweet when we asked the question where should 481 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: the Bills going next in free agency? Brian Clinent tweets, 482 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: and I personally think the Bill's next target has to 483 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: be right tackled Darryl Williams from Carolina. He feels a 484 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: huge need and steadily improved every year before his injury. 485 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to see the Bills also target edge rusher 486 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: Shaquille Barrett from Denver. He's a talented young pass rusher. 487 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: Go Bills. Okay, yeah, we had Darryl Williams. Name came 488 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: up last week, right, and the Carolina connection one of 489 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: the reasons why it came up. Here's a call on 490 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: the line on this question from Joe in Depew. Joe, 491 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: what do you have? Where did the Bills go next? 492 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: I think we gotta go receiver. Yeah, I think that 493 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: our defense, who was ranked second in the league. Yeah, 494 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: they could use a lot of pieces, but you had 495 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: the number two ranks defense. You got a talented young 496 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: linebanker corps with Milano and Edmonds, with a good veteran 497 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: leader and Alexander. I think our line. Yeah, losing Kyle 498 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: Williams loses a little bit of talent, but a lot 499 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: of young talent. There's still that can improve. I think 500 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: with Chris Conley on the market, Brashott Peirman, Tyrell Williams, 501 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: all guys that have only had a number two receiver 502 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: spots in their career. I think they're all young enough 503 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: and are worth the money that we have at least 504 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: to give them a one two year contracts see if 505 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: they can, you know, put up some numbers and get 506 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: him to stay in Buffalo. I have to say I'm 507 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: surprised that Tyro Williams is still available, still out there, 508 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: I guess as of today, even though for agency doesn't 509 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: start till tomorrow. Tony and Buffalo has a thought on 510 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: Tyro Williams. Tony go ahead, Oh yeah, I just wanted to. Uh. 511 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: I thought Tyroll Williams would be a good check up 512 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: for us UM to also bring in. UM. I also 513 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: agree with you, John on bringing in um Daryl Williams 514 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: from the Carolina UM connection. Uh I just I mean, 515 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: I do understand why. You know McDermott does go um 516 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: for his people that he's been around. But um, this 517 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: is another one. You might say, yeah, you know, not 518 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: another Panthers guy, but uh, I mean dude to it 519 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: or overlooking his injury. UM. I believe that you know, 520 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: each player in this NFL has the heart. You know, 521 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: any player who has played football before, we'll we'll say, 522 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, they want to be better next year. You know, 523 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: in the following years, and you know they want to 524 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: earn their money. So I feel like, UM, I feel 525 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: like he's got something to prove, and you know, coming 526 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: to a team that's up and coming. UM in Buffalo, 527 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: I feel like at least we're up and up and coming. 528 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: Uh would be a good choice to thank And and 529 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: darry Williams is interesting to me. Mike Klay's got this 530 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: free age in cheat sheet that we use a lot 531 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: darry Williams as his second available offensive tackle right now, 532 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: and that got my attention. And yeah, I think the 533 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: question with Daryll Williams is the knees right. He had 534 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: the knee surgery last year, didn't play a whole lot 535 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: last year. Maybe they've already done medicals or they've talked 536 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: to people who have done the exams on him, and 537 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't check out, but I wouldn't rule him out. 538 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: He was linked Jason lock On for linked him last 539 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: week to who the Giants and the Buffalo Bills said 540 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: they'll be in pursuit of Panthers tackled Darryl Williams, but 541 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: we'll see. I think offensive line remains in need position 542 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: for the Bills in this free agency as does wide receiver. Yeah. 543 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: I think here's the thing too. I mean, as you 544 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: said it, Murph, this is a deep draft in edge rushers, 545 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: and it looks as though there's gonna be some pretty 546 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: good wide outs in this draft as well. So you 547 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: get these guys in free agency like the Buffalo Bills. 548 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I think. I think it comes down to this. If 549 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: you don't get an you know, if you don't get 550 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: a receiver and free agency, you got a draft one. 551 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: If you don't get an edge rusher and free agency, 552 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: you gotta draft one. So you got to. But you 553 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: gotta get one that's good enough so you don't feel 554 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: like you're selling yourself. Sure, you gotta, you know, Plus, 555 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: you gotta get the value for the contracts. You know, 556 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: like I said, you gotta get what you pay for. 557 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: And if you can get a guy like Ziggyansa or 558 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: one of these guys to come in and they put 559 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: it together a ten sacks season, that's perfect, it's perfect. 560 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: But you know where do you And that's what our 561 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: Twitter poll is, do you think they should get a 562 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: wide receiver and free agency and then draft a tackle 563 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: and take that chance or draft or get a tackle 564 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: in free agency and draft a wide receiver. That's kind 565 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: of the balance that looks like this, These percentages and 566 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: the answers of this thing are going because you can 567 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: always you know, you can always do one or the other. 568 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: You can sign one now and draft the other, or 569 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: sign the other and draft the one you have you 570 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: know you need. So I think it all comes down 571 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: to the draft. But you got to set yourself up 572 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: to the draft without so you don't have any positional emergencies. 573 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: I think you got to sign all these guys at 574 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: some point. You gotta sign some of these guys at 575 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: all these positions. You got the money. They may not 576 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: be blockbusters, but they haven't broken the bank except for 577 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: this center with anybody and even him four guys yesterday. Yeah, 578 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: but you got two million bucks on one, you got 579 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 1: six million possibly on another, and it all sounds right. 580 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: My point is they still got a lot of money 581 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: to spend, and they're gonna they need to sign even 582 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 1: more of these guys. You know, they seem that they 583 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: need to sign more of these guys. They need to 584 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: sign like two wide receivers and three more offensive linemen. 585 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, that's my to do it this week. 586 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: I know it's just have to No, you don't, you don't. 587 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: They don't play a game till September, and they know 588 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: they can sign people right and they will sign people 589 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: right up the the ind middle of the summer.

You had a front row, great seat to 627 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: the great season that the Chiefs put together last year 628 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: you watched Andy Reid put together. Patrick Mahomes explode onto 629 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: the scene. But obviously what we're interested in is what's 630 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: this guy Mitch Morris that the Bills seemed about to 631 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: sign imminently. He's a twenty six year old center who 632 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: spent first four years of his career there in Kansas. 633 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: And what do you know about him? I love him, 634 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: and you guys are getting a really really good player 635 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: and person. Speaking of favorite, Steve, you're in that file, 636 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: but Mitch, in my brief twenty five years is the 637 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: voice of the Chiefs, is one of my favorite all 638 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: time guys. You guys have to understand how difficult it 639 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: is to play center in an Andy Reid offense, and 640 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: they're asked to do a lot. Any center in the 641 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: NFL is, but especially in Andy Reid's offense, which is 642 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: like taking series and differential equations in college. The other 643 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: thing is required. You must be mobile, You've got to 644 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: be an athlete. And what I would tell you what 645 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: you're getting in Mitch is a really smart guy, a 646 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: guy who will influence your locker room positively and a 647 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: better athlete than you think you have to do that 648 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: to play center for Andy Reid. Mitch, why do you 649 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: think Mitch Morris was ready to leave? Obviously, money's the 650 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: obvious answer, but you would think he'd had a good 651 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: thing going on there in Kansas City, working with a young, 652 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: spectacular quarterback and a great offensive minded coach. Why it 653 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: is it just a money deal on his part? You think, yeah, good, 654 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: good question and a proper question. But we went now 655 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: Mitch was with he was on the other side of 656 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: this when Rodney we lost Rodney Hudson. The first two 657 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: years of Andy Reid. This has been a six year odyssey, guys, 658 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs, I mean, Indy Reid took the chase 659 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: from the bottom of the dishes on the Titanic to 660 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: sixty six wins in six years and twenty one and 661 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: three in our division the last four. It's pretty hard 662 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: to do, but you have to go through, you know, 663 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: twists and turns in this odyssey. Rodney Hudson went to 664 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders and had opened the door for Mitch. Mitch 665 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: is at the point of his career where and honestly, 666 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: I'll just beyond I mean, we're up against the cap 667 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: We've had to make some moves way to release justin Houston, 668 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: to get some movement. We got Tyron Matthew were supposedly 669 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: going to get him here you know soon. But the 670 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: point is it's managing the cap. And I really think 671 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: it's more of a cap issue than anything else. And 672 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: I just saw Mitch the other day, you guys, I'll 673 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: just again, it's personally. He came up to me after 674 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: we lost in the AFC Championship game of the Patriots, 675 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: and he saw me and I saw him, and it 676 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: was it was an embrace because it's almost like he knew. 677 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: But then just the other day, I've got a workout 678 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: group a Will Shield's place, Pro Football of Fame. He's 679 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: got a workout place, and Mitch was in there working 680 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: out and we saw each other again, and it just 681 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: reminded me of the person that he is. You're getting 682 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: a really good guy. I'm you know what you want 683 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: to get when you make these free agent deals. This 684 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,239 Speaker 1: second contract, so to speaks somewhat. That's not only an 685 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: effective player himself, but affects everyone around him, And that's 686 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: what you're getting with Mitch. He's a winner, he's tough, 687 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: he won at Miszoo, he won Saint Michael's in Dallas, 688 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: he won with us. He's gonna he'll permeate through your 689 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: locker room. He did struggle a little bit with injuries 690 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: last year. And if there's is one downside him, he's 691 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: only twenty six. He struggle a little bit with injuries. 692 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: What can he tell us about his ability to kind 693 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: of overcome that or were they were they nagging? Was it? 694 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, just give us a little bit of a 695 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: brief history of the injuries he had to deal with recently. Well, 696 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: I think the most concerned I don't say concerning, I 697 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: don't even know the right verb or want to use here, 698 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: is he had a concussion. He's had you know, he's 699 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: had a little bit of concussion issues and the Chiefs 700 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: are overcautious with that. Andy Reid has always protected the 701 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: player with any injury, and so that's a little bit 702 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: of this. But he was back and played in the 703 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: playoff victory over the Colts, and played in that AFC 704 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Championship game against the Patriots, and he was sitting there 705 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: protecting and working with you know, the most exciting young 706 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league now and Patrick Mahomes I wouldn't 707 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: be all that concerned about injury. I think that, you know, 708 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: the drive train and the transmission still fine. I think 709 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: he's going to be. I think he'll be fine. I 710 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: just you know, adjusting to a new system would be 711 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: a different for him. But I've nothing against your coaches, 712 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: but he'll be. It won't be any more complicated or 713 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: demanding for a center than the one he's been in. 714 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: I means, how much will Patrick Holmes MISSUS center Mitch 715 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: Morris a lot? I mean I saw Patrick Saturday night, 716 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: and I mean, this is just part of the deal. 717 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: Patrick's twenty three, but he feels like a ten year veteran. 718 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: He understands it, doesn't always like it, but he's Austin 719 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: Ryder had to fill in last year for Mitch when 720 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: Mitch went down, as you alluded to, and it was 721 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: a very critical stretch and Austin, it looks like you 722 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: ought to be you know, taken up load of lumber 723 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 1: up to Canada. But he did very well enough where 724 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: people thought, hey, let's give a young kid a shot. 725 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: And so that's where we're at. But it's not like 726 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: this is the bittersweet time you guys are seen it 727 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: with the Bills too, where you don't want to lose 728 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: a guy, but it just in this day and age 729 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: of the calf, sometimes it just it happens, and it's 730 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: in it's a reality, and it must happen in some instances, 731 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: and you hope the both teams can win. And that's 732 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: what I hope here for Mitch, and it's the Chiefs 733 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: were such a compelling story last year and a great season, 734 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: and I count myself it was one of those surprised 735 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: that the defensive coordinator move. I know Spagnolo's got a 736 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: great resume, but what are you making that switch a 737 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: defensive coordinated there Kansas City at the end of the year. Well, 738 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: you guys kindn't know about spags. Listen, I'm a Bob Sutton. 739 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here in trash Bob Sutton. The 740 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: last two years have been tough on Bob, honestly. The 741 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters situation, which is there's a lot too that 742 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: was he took the brunt of it. Now the years 743 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: before that and the four first first four years the 744 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs from the top seven in defense in top five 745 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: and three of those four and so I'm not going 746 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: to sit here and just shovel dirt on Stutton. But 747 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: Spags brings a little of the early Eagles when Andy 748 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: Reid had his best Eagles team. Remember that was the 749 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: Jim Johnson days before Jim got sick and passed away. 750 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: And that defensive staff. If you go back and google 751 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: those guys, that's a pretty good list of dudes. Well, 752 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: that was an aggressive kind of you know, attack your 753 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: kind of defense, and I think that's what's gonna what 754 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: Spags is going to do. The second thing is the 755 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: staff he's been able to put together on that side. 756 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: David Merritt was with the Giants excited about him. You're 757 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: bringing the linebackers coach from Kentucky, so you got a 758 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: little bit of the college flavor and how to defend 759 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: these college offensive and now come into the National Football League. 760 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: And then the defensive line coach from the Patriots. So 761 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: it's really kind of a redo and a reboot. But 762 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: people excited on the defensive side and trying to do 763 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 1: with the younger guys, teach him how to play and 764 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: let's do this. Well, as you said, Andy Reid is 765 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: deep into his tenure there, you're looking at your six 766 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: year odyssey for him. How is he still received by 767 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs fans? They've they've got to be frustrated with the 768 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: way the season ended last year, when it looked like 769 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: there was no stopping. You're going back to what is 770 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: what first suit? The Super Bowl? Fifty years after the 771 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: first one. It looked like you were headed there. How 772 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: is Andy Reid accepted by the fans at this point 773 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: after he's brought so much success to the team. They 774 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: might put a statue next to George Brett if he 775 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,479 Speaker 1: ever wins one here. It's going to open up, guys. 776 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: They'll they'll do a thirty for thirty an NFL network 777 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: will have because his impact on the league. Last year, 778 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: one fourth of the league's head coaches were his disciples. 779 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: And if you look around the league, all he has 780 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: to do is win one, one big one, and if 781 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: he does it, it is gonna blossom like a flower. 782 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: They love him here now. They're not blaming him for 783 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: the loss of the Patriots. If d Ford lines up 784 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: on side and he's not offsides, or they call the 785 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: left tackle where his helmet's not at the belt of 786 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: the center, it could be illegal or illegal formation. The 787 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: chief center is set to pass and Tom Brady's narrative 788 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: is he's too old. He would have thrown three picks 789 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, including first and goal at the one, 790 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: and now he's the goat. All right. The Chiefs are 791 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: fifty two seconds from being in the super Bowl, and 792 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: it was a defensive offside pedalty. That has nothing to 793 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: do with Andy Reid. I know on the Eastern Seaboard 794 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: he kind of takes some heat, but I'm telling you, 795 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: this dude is still the smoke and he burns to 796 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: win one he makes.

And two, it was always 801 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: awkward when Andy was ready to choose somebody's butt and 802 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: he'd yelled Mitch, and I'd get a real warm and realized, oh, 803 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna choose Morrises. But good, I'm fine, that's perfect, Mitch. 804 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: Thanks great talking to you guys. Okay.

But 813 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: whenever the Chiefs were up here last and he was 814 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: up here doing play by play, he gave me a cause, Hey, listen, 815 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm I need a guy who knows the bills for 816 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: a spotter.

One Goes Live presented by Collaida Hell 870 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: from One Bills Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio White. Welcome back, 871 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker. We're in the middle of the 872 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: free agent frenzy. We're having fun too. John Brown agrees 873 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: to terms with the Buffalo Bills. Wide receiver spent last 874 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: year with Baltimore after starting his career with the Arizona Cardinals. 875 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: This is why I thought Steve the Bills might be interested. 876 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: They actually had a dalliance with John Brown a year ago, right, 877 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: they talked to him. He instead took a one year 878 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: deal from Baltimore instead of the deal the Bills we're 879 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: talking him about last year. The Bills reportedly offered him 880 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: a three year contract last year, but he wanted a 881 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,240 Speaker 1: one year deal to prove himself. Didn't really prove himself 882 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: with what he did last year, and he didn't get 883 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: much help once Flacco was out and Lamar Jackson was in. Right, 884 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: But he's a good player. He's a fast player right 885 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: a four forty time. He's a big playmaker, and I 886 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: think it's a perfect match. With Josh Allen on the 887 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: deep pass. I think it's going to work out great 888 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: for Jember. I think there's no question that the offensive 889 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: philosophy change the middle of the year last year to 890 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and you know affected him. He had forty 891 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: two catches for the season. And I think the fact 892 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: that he saw the riding on the wall with what 893 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: the offense was going to look like in Baltimore and 894 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: he saw what happened in Buffalo or what Josh Allen 895 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: was looking like in Buffalo at the end of the year. 896 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: This last year, he decided to roll the dice with 897 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: a young quarterback on a team that looked like they 898 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 1: wanted to throw the football. And here he is. Here 899 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,319 Speaker 1: he is, um, and that's you know, John Brown comes 900 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: to Buffalo and then we just got this just came 901 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: over as well.

Well, count Johnson is one of them, right, 996 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 1: we'll count. The cornerback is one of them, Kevin Johnson, 997 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: even though he wasn't a UFA. Kevin Johnson, Frank Gore, 998 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: who else? The center, Mitch Morris and tight end Tyler Croft. 999 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: That's fourth. They've signed six white receivers, Gold Beasley and 1000 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 1: John Brown today agreed to terms. Yeah, you got it. 1001 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: Now we got to start really making sure we do 1002 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: it right, because Anthony Barr, the Pro Bowl linebacker for 1003 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: the Vikings, has gotten cold feet. And this isn't just 1004 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,280 Speaker 1: a tampering period. We've you know, we kind of started 1005 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: to treat it like it's a really free agency has 1006 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: opened up, but all these teams are just agreeing to 1007 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: terms with these guys. No contracts can be signed until 1008 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: tomorrow four pm, and already guys have started. Anthony Barr 1009 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,879 Speaker 1: for the Jet that you got the Jets thought they had, 1010 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: has gotten coldfeet and said, no, forget it. I was, 1011 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to do something else. So he's going back 1012 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings. And Sundering brought up, as you 1013 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 1: said just before we went to the break, this John Brown. 1014 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: He ran a four three four forty at the Combine 1015 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: when he came out in twenty fourteen. The guy really scoot. 1016 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: He's five ten a buck eighty. Cole Beasley is I 1017 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: believe what five nine and I got like a buck 1018 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: seventy buck eighty two. So they're both, you know, they're 1019 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: not huge guys, but man, old man, they've been productive. 1020 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 1: I think John Brown, I think Cole Beasley more so 1021 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: than John Brown. Cole's Beasley kind of a safety valve 1022 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,759 Speaker 1: for a young quarterback in Dak Prescott has really made 1023 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: a name for himself. And we'll see if he can 1024 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 1: get it done here in Buffalo. And if Josh Allen 1025 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: can start completing sixty five percent of his passes like 1026 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: he did in Week seventeen, right, Easley will help with that. 1027 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: He made a list of the top slot receivers in 1028 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: the NFL over the last five years. Cole Beasley is 1029 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: in that list, top right, top five, Yeah, slot receiver 1030 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: in the league over the last five years, don't you think. 1031 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how valuable he's been to Dak Prescott 1032 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott in the Dallas Cowboys. That's what he 1033 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: might be able to do for Josh Allen. That's the 1034 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: guy we should talk to about this. Josh Allen too. 1035 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: And if you made a guy of dynamic performers at 1036 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: wide receiver over the last five years, I think John 1037 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: Brown might be in the top fifteen at least. Right. Look, 1038 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: he isn't had a ton of production, but he had 1039 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: good years with Arizona. Kind of a down year with 1040 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: Baltimore last year. I think their offense got stuck in 1041 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: the mud last year. But I do think he has 1042 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: the kind of potential the Bills were looking for. I 1043 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: love I love the John brown Side, and I've talked 1044 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: about him for a month, and I really I can 1045 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: appreciate what they see in Cole Beasley. Look, if they 1046 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,360 Speaker 1: got one of the two, I'd be okay. But they 1047 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: get both of those guys today within minutes of each other. 1048 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: The report comes out. I'm really kind of excited about that. 1049 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: Our Twitter poll today, our Twitter poll dealt with what 1050 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 1: should the Bills do next? I don't even know. I 1051 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: don't think it makes any sense anymore to you to 1052 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: talk about it. I mean, now they've they've answered it. 1053 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean we didn't. We took a poll. It was 1054 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 1: kind of an eleven, little forty five. We put it up, Yeah, 1055 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,319 Speaker 1: a little predict trying to be a little predictive what 1056 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: the Bills were going to do next? About you know, 1057 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: where are they gonna they're gonna strike next? In free agency, 1058 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver, offensive line, edge rusher, or somebody else. And 1059 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: half of the people, a forty nine percent said wide 1060 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: receiver and they were right. Yeah, fourteen hundred votes in 1061 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: about one hour. That's a that's a lot of votes 1062 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: and more than About half of them said wide receiver, 1063 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 1: forty four percent said offensive line, edge rush four percent, 1064 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: three percent said something else. The Bar move is interesting 1065 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Wow, that's right. Anthony Barr agrees to terms 1066 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 1: yesterday with the New York Jets and then pulls out 1067 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: today after the Jets signed C. J. Mosley to a 1068 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: huge deal. Now, Bar didn't get that kind of money. 1069 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 1: I'll look it up here. But you wonder if that 1070 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 1: had something to do with it, Steve. You know, you 1071 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: wonder a bar looks at C. J. Mosley's money and says, well, 1072 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 1: wait a minute. Well it's been reported that that Barr 1073 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: said listening, he goes the Vikings. He loves it in Minnesota. 1074 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: He loves the vibe in Minnesota, and likes the culture 1075 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And the Vikings hadn't come up with, you know, 1076 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: a real strong offer, and they sweetened their deal last 1077 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 1: night after they heard that Anthony Barr had signed with 1078 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 1: the Jets, who agreed to terms with the Jets. They 1079 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: sweetened their offer, and Anthony Barr said, you know what, 1080 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 1: I like it here. I don't want to move my 1081 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: family or whoever, whatever personal reasons he had, he I'm 1082 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: gonna stay here and that's what can happen. And when 1083 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings up their deal, it's going to come up 1084 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: to like as some of you people watch on MSGS, 1085 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 1: thirteen point five million a year from Minnesota. He's gonna 1086 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: stay where he's at. That's amazing. The Jets probably, I 1087 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: mean we thought they were rolling right. We're gonna talk 1088 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 1: with Mike gin idiot spot track about the Jets. Will 1089 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: look at the Jets and all of a sudden, one 1090 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: of their key pieces, Anthony Barr, decides to pull out 1091 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 1: right a thirteen and a half million dollars.

Now, what do you think their 1103 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: next move should be? We can relaunch a new Twitter poll, right, 1104 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: they need more wide receivers. After you've responding saying well, boom, 1105 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: there's two. Now what do you now? What do you 1106 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: think things have changed? As even as we speak? So 1107 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: it's this is a great I mean because then I'm like, 1108 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm like every fan and all of us do this. 1109 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: You kind of project what it's gonna look like when 1110 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 1: they hit the field even today, and we half jokingly 1111 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: and now I've got to dig it out here we go. 1112 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 1: U remember that tweet I gave you murph about what 1113 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: they said. Here's what the Bill's offense was gonna line 1114 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: up and look like when they took the field this year. 1115 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: Here's what it was this morning. This was Josh Allen, 1116 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, Tyler Croft, Zay Jones, Robert Foster, Isaiah McKenzie, Dawkins, 1117 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 1: Teller Morse, Spencer Long, and Connor McDermott at right tackle. 1118 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: You look at it now, it's it's not Zay Jones, 1119 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: Robert Foster, Isaiah McKenzie at wide receiver. It's probably what 1120 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: you tell me, is it gonna be? Its gonna be 1121 00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 1: John Brown, Cole Beasley and Robert Foster or Jones. I 1122 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: like this problem to have to sort that through. And 1123 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 1: by the way, a different problem to have, isn't it? 1124 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: Does this mean DK metcalf is out as a draft 1125 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,439 Speaker 1: prospect first round for the Buffalo Bill. Yeah, that's number nine. 1126 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: Now do you really need to go wide receiver? He 1127 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 1: might be that good, Steve, he might be that good. 1128 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: Remember we said it. I said it last week. Now 1129 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 1: he got six weeks to think it over, to figure 1130 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: out what happened in his production. And he's not Listen, 1131 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: he's not that good. He's that good. If if the 1132 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: Bills sign a tackle, so do you send a tackle 1133 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: is a greater need? Yeah, I can. I can agree 1134 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: with that right tackle or maybe a guard if they 1135 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 1: signed another offensive lineman either. I mean, you know, Wyatt 1136 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 1: Teller had pretty good. You know, he got in there 1137 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:44,959 Speaker 1: in the second half the season. Took him a while 1138 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 1: to get ready and get get it together and play 1139 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller. But they've already signed Spencer Long. They like him, 1140 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: of course. Uh, Mitch Morse is the news signing. You 1141 00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: gotta need a right tackle, you got your left guard. 1142 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: Otherwise you got din Dawkins, and you know Connor McDermott 1143 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 1: is your right tackle right now. I mean we'll see. 1144 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean that if the Bills can, you know, get 1145 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: some more guys up front, then yeah, maybe DK Metcalf 1146 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 1: gets put back on the board. But right now he's 1147 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 1: totally off the board until that changes for me. For me, 1148 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 1: I wouldn't take him off yet. He's I'm putting an 1149 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,879 Speaker 1: offensive tackle up there, Bill Guard wide receiver depth chart 1150 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 1: right now with those two editions with them, and this 1151 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: is in no particular order. I don't know who's gonna start. 1152 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: But if you have John Brown, which he agreed to 1153 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 1: terms today, your guy goes at the top. Well, I 1154 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 1: mean you're looking for an X and he would be 1155 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: the fit I think as an X receiver, as a 1156 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: number one, potential number one guy. I believe John Brown. 1157 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 1: You have Cole Beasley in the slot, Robert Foster is 1158 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: a flyer outside, Zay Jones is four. And then you 1159 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,359 Speaker 1: got some interesting names, Isaia McKenzie, Ray McCloud draft pick 1160 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: last year, Duke Williams from the CFL. Those three will 1161 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 1: have something to say about it. I think Kenzie and 1162 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 1: McLeod Suke, and then you got some names Victor Bolden, Demirie, 1163 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,439 Speaker 1: Scott cam Phillips, the fourth receiver or and certainly maybe 1164 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: the fifth active wide receiver. They've gotta be special teams 1165 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 1: guys probably, and the fifth guy's gonna be returned guy, 1166 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 1: like I say, McKenzie, right, I mean they may keep 1167 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: him around to return punts, you know what I'm saying, 1168 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: a kickoff return. There's different roles to be played. And 1169 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: plus you're not gonna get any help on special teams 1170 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 1: from your backup running back when it's thirty six year 1171 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: old Frank Gore, so you're gonna have to cover that 1172 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: at the bottom of your roster somewhere. So these guys, 1173 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: there's some other considerations you know, that you got to 1174 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: have at the bottom of your game day roster when 1175 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: you start thinking about, you know, the fourth and fifth 1176 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe the sixth wide receiver as well, if 1177 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna go any four wide at all. Yeah, that's 1178 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's you start to think the names we 1179 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: got to know so well over the last two years 1180 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: are getting thin now because John Brown and Cole Beasley 1181 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: go to the top of the depth chart. There is 1182 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: no two ways about it. They're on the field today, 1183 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 1: if they lined up today, they're the guy's taking the reps. 1184 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: So everybody else is gonna be like, Okay, here we go, 1185 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, including find including Zay, including Robert Foster. Yeah, 1186 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: because Isaiah McKenzie and Duke Williams, all these they're gonna 1187 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: they're not going away. I mean they're gonna come in 1188 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 1: and compete. So it's wow. They if these you know, 1189 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: when they signed these contracts, the Bills got better today. 1190 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: There's absolutely no question about it. There's absolutely no question 1191 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: about it. On the receivers on Mike Clay's free agency 1192 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: cheat sheet of those available going into today, John Brown 1193 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: was the fourth highest radio receiver he had the Bills 1194 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 1: have him, and Cole Beasley was the sixth highest receiver 1195 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: he had on his list. The Bills got him, So 1196 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 1: they got number four and number six at least one 1197 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: in Mike Clay's estimation. What do you think of this? 1198 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 1: What do you want him to do? Now? The Bills 1199 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 1: reportedly are ready to sign wide receiver John Brown and 1200 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley from the Dallas Cowboys. Beasley just issued a 1201 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: tweet on his Twitter site. Cole Beasley said this, I'll 1202 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: always love Cowboys Nation. I appreciate the time we had together. 1203 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: Thanks to the Jones family for giving me a shot. 1204 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: Excited for this new journey. Can't wait to get started 1205 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Let's go Bills Mafia. That's from Cole Beasley 1206 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: his tweet today. So that's good. He's ready to go. 1207 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley ready to go with the Buffalo Bills. Understricted 1208 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 1: free agent has agreed to terms eighth three five fifty 1209 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five 1210 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: fifty year thoughts on any of these moves. Let's go 1211 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 1: to Mike in Santa Barbara, California. You go ahead, Mike. Hey, 1212 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: first of all, this phone call was a lot different 1213 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: when I call thirty minutes. Things changed quickly around here. Yeah, Mike, Yeah, 1214 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 1: that was the longest hold for thirty minutes before. I mean, 1215 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: I have to now, I have to go a different approach. 1216 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 1: Now the world has changed and your while you were 1217 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 1: on hold, Mike, Yeah, it's amazing. But hear me out. 1218 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 1: Though the receiver obviously was a was a great need 1219 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 1: and a great fine, especially these two guys. I mean, 1220 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 1: they're bargained guys. You got one that speed, and you 1221 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: got one that can work over the middle. So perfect, 1222 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 1: perfect compliments to the receiving court that we have now 1223 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,160 Speaker 1: and they've done it before. The one thing that I 1224 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 1: really want the Bills to do, And Murph, I think 1225 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,919 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to agree with me, but let's 1226 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 1: add a receiving threat in at backfield. And I don't 1227 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: think there's another. There's a better one out there than 1228 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 1: Leveon Bell. We we we kind of associate him as 1229 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 1: a running back, but in all actuality, the guy is 1230 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,680 Speaker 1: a he's an all purpose back. Oh yeah, he had 1231 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 1: like seventy five catches a couple of years ago. In 1232 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 1: any that, and and and and to me, just after 1233 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 1: the off, these signings that I see the Bills just 1234 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: do to me, it's kind of makes me think they're 1235 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 1: modeling what Pittsburgh did. You got home run hitters, and 1236 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 1: and you got you got different options at receivers that 1237 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: can do all types of different things. And and and 1238 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 1: now I hope they get Leveon Bell. I mean, I'm 1239 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm hoping for this. Um. Before I wouldn't have really 1240 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: said it, but I mean, the guy can just do 1241 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 1: so much, he can block, he's a receiving option. I 1242 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: mean he's he's just talented. Me living, I actually live 1243 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, so I get to watch him all the time. Um, 1244 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,240 Speaker 1: but but uh, I'll be interested to see what they do. 1245 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: So far, so good. I agree with you, we need 1246 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 1: old line and metcalf is off for right now. But 1247 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,440 Speaker 1: so far, so good. I mean they're they're making waves 1248 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see where the season goes. You 1249 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: don't think Levian Mike, you don't think Levi on Bell 1250 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: is the number is just too gonna be too big 1251 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: for Buffalo. I think it might be just too much money. 1252 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,959 Speaker 1: You want to tie up that much money and Levon Bell, well, 1253 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: I see, here's the thing. I do agree with you 1254 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: guys on that he is going to be expensive, But 1255 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: he just offers so much. I mean, he's a receiving threat, 1256 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: he's a great blocker, he's a very patient runner. I mean, 1257 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: you're just and he's a big name. He'll bring star 1258 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: power to the Bills. But you guys are right, I mean, 1259 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 1: can you go find a Levy On Bell in the 1260 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: second round? You might be able to. I mean I 1261 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: think he was picked in the second round, right, Um, 1262 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean we just have to get I mean, right, now, 1263 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I just feel like our running backs are so old. 1264 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 1: How we need youth into that running Yeah back, um position, 1265 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, you're right and I see. But 1266 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Mike, can we sure have a 1267 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 1: lot less holes right now in the roster than we 1268 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 1: did forty eight hours ago. Everything looks a lot different 1269 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 1: when you start trying to talk about bringing in a 1270 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: young running back. That's not where we were just forty 1271 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: eight hours ago. Everything looks different. Thanks for a calling, Mike. 1272 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: We got something from the tweet sheet on the Bills 1273 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: moves today, and if you just tuned in, it is 1274 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: a couple of wide receivers who reportedly have agreed to 1275 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: turns with the Buffalo Bills. Speaking of reportedly, you can 1276 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 1: take Kevin Johnson's name off that list. The Bills just 1277 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 1: released in a moment ago that the cornerback has agreed 1278 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: to terms on a contract with the Buffalo Bills. Kevin 1279 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: Johnson will be available on a conference call it too. 1280 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Maybe we can get him on the show. I don't know, hope, 1281 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 1: So we'll see you doing it too. We'll try him. Yeah, 1282 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: I think we see. Maybe we can get down to 1283 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 1: the content he's agreed to a one year deal. Kevin Johnson, 1284 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: cornerback played last year with the Houston Texans, has agreed 1285 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: to a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills. Former 1286 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 1: first round picks a pick of the Texans. If you're 1287 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 1: watching on the MSG feed, you see him in front 1288 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,040 Speaker 1: of his picture. Here's yeah, and here's one of the interesting. 1289 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: There's a couple on here. I'm gonna read like one 1290 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 1: down from the top from David r. This is an 1291 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: interesting and take, and this is why you got to 1292 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 1: take free agency and why you got to tip your 1293 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: hat to the way the Bills have decided to do this. 1294 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: The Bills get John Brown and Cole Beasley combined for 1295 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,479 Speaker 1: sixteen point five million a year. The Colts paid Devin 1296 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: Funches thirteen million a year. And I think the point 1297 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: of that is, I think we got more for the money. 1298 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Um for three extra million dollars, you get two guys 1299 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 1: a slot and a speedster on the outside. Certainly, Devin 1300 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 1: Funch is a great player, a really good player, and 1301 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 1: might have been ranked higher than either one of the two. 1302 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 1: But it only takes you know, you can defend Devin 1303 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Functions with one guy. You're gonna take at least two 1304 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 1: to defend the other you know what I mean. I've 1305 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 1: never been a Devin Funcious guy. I recall him at 1306 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl what four or five years ago now, 1307 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: and I just never thought much of him. Even Carolina 1308 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: last year was supposed to be his breakout yere right 1309 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,840 Speaker 1: or was that two years ago? And it just never happened. Well, 1310 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 1: the Concious guy, i'd they have Beasley or John Brown 1311 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: instead of Devin Funches. Yeah. Well, here's the thing too. 1312 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: The Colts paid him, and he's thirteen million a year, 1313 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 1: but they've already got t Y Hilton and he's not 1314 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: supposed to come in there and be the number one guy. 1315 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,600 Speaker 1: T Why Hilton is the guy? So Devin Funches thirteen 1316 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,480 Speaker 1: million a year as the number two option. That's that's 1317 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: a big number. Now the Colts have got a ton 1318 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: They've got a mountain of cash to spend as well, 1319 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: so you know, why not spend it on a guy 1320 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 1: that may help your offense. But um, nevertheless, there you go. 1321 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: The Bills get John Brown and Beasley for sixteen point 1322 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: five while one of the other top receivers got thirteen 1323 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: million just for himself. Um, you got to spend it 1324 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 1: wisely and I think you gotta say that at first glance. Anyway, 1325 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: the Bills got more for their money. Here's a call 1326 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 1: from Marquel in Buffalo. Go ahead, and Marquel, you're on 1327 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 1: the air with this doing good? How you? My thing 1328 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: is great signings. But there's not a lot of size 1329 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 1: in that receiver room, you know what I mean? Yeah, yep, 1330 01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: it's not a big receiver, but he's fat. So with 1331 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, his accuracy has really won his big problems, 1332 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: which he's gonna get better at. But I just feel 1333 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 1: like a bigger hit box, somebody big, you know, that 1334 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 1: can help level out the receiving room is what I'm 1335 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: trying to say. I get you. And that's one of 1336 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,320 Speaker 1: the first things that was brought up to one of 1337 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 1: them five nine, five ten and the other one's five eight. 1338 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: You know. Cole Beasley's not a big dude, so uh yeah, 1339 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: they need a big body. Now. Duke Williams, the guy 1340 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 1: they brought down from Canada, he's like a six four 1341 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: two twenty guy, six three two twenty guy. So they 1342 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,720 Speaker 1: do have a guy in the room. But Kenny play, well, 1343 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 1: we don't know. And that's why you got to think 1344 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: if the Bills can sign. You'd love to see if 1345 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 1: if the Bills signed another offensive lineman to get a 1346 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: starting guy so they can go into the draft and 1347 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: if at number nine they actually do pick a guy, 1348 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: they can pick a guy like DK Metcalfe's there, or 1349 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 1: they can pick a guy the kid out of Notre Dame, 1350 01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of Notre Dame. So you know 1351 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where I'm at. I'm kind of 1352 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 1: with you. I'd love to see him get you know, 1353 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: a big body, a big number one. But for right now, 1354 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I like where they're at. And 1355 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about these two guys. They got you too. 1356 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 1: Let's take another phone called Lou. We'll go to uh 1357 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Alan in Buffalo. Hello, Alan, go ahead, you're on the 1358 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,920 Speaker 1: air with us. Hey, what's up, buddy? How you are 1359 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: doing it? Great and good? Okay, Here's here's what I 1360 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: think the Bill be do. I'm I'm excited with the 1361 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: signing so far. But here's what I feel like they 1362 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,440 Speaker 1: need to do. They need to go ahead and address 1363 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 1: Lyne again and then uh go get lab I'll be 1364 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I'm not saying let's shady go, 1365 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 1: but it might be tying the part ways. And therefore 1366 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,160 Speaker 1: you got Frank Gore and Zay Jones. I don't feel 1367 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: like he's asked. He had two years of proof of son. 1368 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: He hasn't been what we thought he was, and I 1369 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 1: will let's say Jones go too. Therefore, your receiver room 1370 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 1: came at cast. You have Brown, you have Beasley, and 1371 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 1: you have Foster. We go that. Yeah, that's good. But 1372 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you here's the thing too. You gotta remember 1373 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 1: about Jay Jones. First of all, you can't. I have 1374 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 1: a hard time holding rookie years against guys now. Certainly 1375 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: he and he was getting thrown too by on an 1376 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 1: offense that didn't throw the ball well at all. They 1377 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: were thirty first in the league in passing both years 1378 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: Zay Jones was on the field, and last year they 1379 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,960 Speaker 1: had four different starting quarterbacks. It's hard to say Zay 1380 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: Jones didn't play well in an offense that would have 1381 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: played just as poorly if they'd have had, you know, 1382 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 1: somebody else playing there. I mean, they just weren't productive 1383 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: offensively either of the last two years. He says. Z 1384 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: Jones had a role in that. But to me, it's 1385 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 1: a team that struggled to throw the football, mostly because 1386 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: they couldn't protect the quarterback and he was and their 1387 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: quarterback was a rookie or he was a quarterback. He 1388 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,919 Speaker 1: didn't throw it well at all anyway. So I don't 1389 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: know if I'm ready to kick Zay Jones to the 1390 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 1: curb just yet, but I'm with you, he's got to 1391 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: do it now. If they're gonna hang on to him, 1392 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: it's time for him to show up, Absolutely no question 1393 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: about it. So I'm with you. I'm not going to 1394 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 1: kick him to the curb yet. And DK Metcalf, I mean, 1395 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: I see it. I mean he's a big guy and 1396 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 1: he can play, and if he's still there, I'm all 1397 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 1: for it. If they I want to continue on the 1398 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: offensive line now before anything, those two signings today clinch 1399 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: that for me. I liked their receiving core words at 1400 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: right now, I think we can move forward that way. Certainly, 1401 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 1: there may be another guy you can get, or a 1402 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 1: guy a second round or a third rounder in this 1403 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 1: draft that you could pick up, if not an edge rusher. 1404 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: But I think they'd still need some help up front, 1405 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,440 Speaker 1: and they still need to solidify it up front before 1406 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,320 Speaker 1: they do anything with the wide receiver. I see what 1407 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 1: you're saying. You're trying to get the final five guys. 1408 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not done with day Jones yet though. 1409 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,760 Speaker 1: I think there's too much going on for him to, 1410 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, to do it. And as far as DK metcalf, 1411 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 1: I see, hear what you're saying. But there's another guy 1412 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 1: that was at the Combine that I really liked. That's 1413 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 1: a guy from Notre Dame, that Miles Boykin. He's six four, 1414 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 1: two twenty eight. He was he was really fast and 1415 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 1: he's really had a lot of great measurables at the Combine. 1416 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to see him. He's another guy that could 1417 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: you may be able to get him lower in the draft. 1418 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 1: He ran extremely well and he tested out extremely well 1419 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 1: as too. So you know, I'm with you. Don't kick 1420 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: into the old guys to the curb. Yeah, we still 1421 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: got to sign seventy five guys had to hang on 1422 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 1: to him. Hard to think if Zay Jones is an 1423 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,360 Speaker 1: old guy, Come on, right, he's going into his third year. 1424 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 1: Get second round pick, you know, I know what you mean. 1425 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: The guys who've been here. Yeah, I agree with that. 1426 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 1: He said, Look spotty production and he's fought through some 1427 01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: injuries during his two years here, but I think he 1428 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: has something to offer, and we gave you those forty times. 1429 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he is among the fastest guys on the 1430 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 1: team anyway, Zay Jones. So let's see. And also, I 1431 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying about ready for a more offensive lineman. 1432 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: I get that. I understand that there might be more 1433 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 1: offensive lineman coming today or tomorrow the next day too 1434 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 1: in free agency, right, So I'm right, there's no need 1435 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 1: to spend it ahead to the draft just yet. Not 1436 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 1: the way the Bills are going about this. They're pretty active, right, 1437 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 1: six moves in the first couple of days here the 1438 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: signing period, no negotiation, pero. We did this Twitter poll today, 1439 01:08:58,040 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 1: where should they go next in free agency? Wide receive 1440 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 1: our offensive line? Half of you said wide receiverine and 1441 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: forty five percent of you said offensive line. Well, now 1442 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 1: they signed to wide receivers. It just get back to 1443 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: the offensive line now, you know. Yeah, I mean, it's fun, 1444 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 1: it is fun. It's amazing to think about it. And 1445 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: all these wheels are turned while we're sitting here talking 1446 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 1: on the air. We you know, we like yesterday we 1447 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,640 Speaker 1: were kind of like shrugging our shoulders. They signed and 1448 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 1: make all these signs and these moves after we're off 1449 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the air, right, Well, you have Frank Gore. It was 1450 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 1: a rumor then even that even that was just it 1451 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 1: never changed. It was just like, you know, these aren't 1452 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 1: that completed deal, Jet, None of them are. And we've 1453 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: learned our lesson on that as well, and the Jets 1454 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 1: have learned as the Jets.

John Murphy, Steve Tasker. 1472 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 1: It is an interesting day for the Bills on the 1473 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: second day of the negotiating period for NFL free agency, 1474 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 1: and we bring in the expert. Mike Janetti is managing 1475 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,480 Speaker 1: editor of spottrack dot com. They keep track of contracts 1476 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 1: and salary caps, not just in the NFL, but virtually 1477 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: every spore. You're doing soccer. The last time we soccer, Yeah, yeah, 1478 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 1: good for you ten years. You've been doing it years. 1479 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 1: You found a little niche who knew, right? Did you 1480 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 1: know ten years ago this would be no place. It 1481 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 1: was just a fun little thing that we made up 1482 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 1: at the bar, you know. But I'm still learning every day. 1483 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,639 Speaker 1: I mean there's something crazy every day. We've got guys 1484 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: skipping out of, you know, agreements today. There's lots of 1485 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 1: going on here in free agency, a lot going on 1486 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 1: with the Bill today. A couple of receivers agreeing to 1487 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 1: terms with the Bills. Let's talk about that for a second. Well, 1488 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,800 Speaker 1: let's start with this, Mike. Since you are a cap guy, 1489 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 1: we all knew the bills had seventy and a half 1490 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 1: million dollars going into yesterday when the negotiation period opened up. 1491 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: Where where can you put him now? As far as 1492 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 1: the cap, it's just a guestament until the structure has 1493 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 1: come out. Just based on the numbers of Morrison and 1494 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Brown and Beasley here, my guests would be they spent 1495 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:43,040 Speaker 1: close to fifteen between fifteen and twenty this year, you know, 1496 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 1: I mean they could they could be frontloading. And you know, 1497 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,680 Speaker 1: if Brandon being smart, maybe he's doing that right now 1498 01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,559 Speaker 1: because of the number they have. I mean, you start 1499 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 1: with seventy, you're probably not making too big of a splash, 1500 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, from here out, maybe one or two more 1501 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,559 Speaker 1: acquisitions in the next couple of days. But because you've 1502 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: got so much to burn this year, it's probably smart 1503 01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 1: to get most of the cap this year or next year, 1504 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 1: especially if the guaranteed money's there anyway. So we've seen 1505 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 1: that in San fran and the Jets and a couple 1506 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: of teams I've had the space over the past couple 1507 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,320 Speaker 1: of years, and they're in position to do do that right now. Yeah, 1508 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 1: they may frontload it even though this say it's a 1509 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 1: four year like Cole Beasley reported four years, twenty nine million, 1510 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,719 Speaker 1: and they guaranteed what was it like, seven seventeen million. 1511 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,400 Speaker 1: It could be guaranteed over the three years of the deal, 1512 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,680 Speaker 1: but funny money, Yeah, give it to them. Yeah, they 1513 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 1: give it to him a little. It doesn't go into 1514 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 1: this year's cap. It goes into you know, third year's cap. 1515 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, so they still have cap money this year 1516 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 1: to spend. Yeah, the deals that I've seen, twenty nine 1517 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: million dollar contract, it only cost them eight or seven. Yeah, 1518 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's the moral of this week, by 1519 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,160 Speaker 1: the way, I mean, we saw so many big numbers 1520 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 1: yesterday Landing Collins and those guys Trent Brown half guaranteed 1521 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: at best. I mean really, Landing Collins is a two 1522 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 1: year deal. You know, it's a two for thirty two. 1523 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:53,720 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, they can get out 1524 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 1: of that. But the numbers sound huge initially. And that's 1525 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: why structure matters so much. A guy we didn't mention here, 1526 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: Tyler Croft. I have seen his structure. It's it's a 1527 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: great structure for a guy who got injured last year, 1528 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,040 Speaker 1: who's got some potential, who can probably do a lot 1529 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 1: more things than he's done in Cincinnati. Here it's one 1530 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 1: for seven with two options, so you know, structure wise, 1531 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: I like what Brandon means done there, and I think 1532 01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: he's gonna probably follow suit with these other contracts as well. Um, 1533 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,400 Speaker 1: when do you get the structure one day? It's hit 1534 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 1: and miss. Um. They're not officially official really, so you 1535 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 1: know when they're posted to the league or when when 1536 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 1: the sources that I deal with, you know, are able 1537 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,680 Speaker 1: to provide those too. Me. Um, it's usually within a 1538 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 1: few days of after the signing. So hopefully by the 1539 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 1: end of the day, we'll have those numbers and we'll 1540 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:34,720 Speaker 1: have the caps up here on spotract. So your best 1541 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,200 Speaker 1: guess is the bills said, what fifty five millions? That's 1542 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 1: probably where I guess, Yeah, about fifty five. They don't 1543 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: have to spend that this year, right, they don't know? 1544 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,720 Speaker 1: It rolls over, Yeah, it rolls over. Not some of 1545 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 1: that has to go to the draft. There's about you know, 1546 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: nine million towards the draft pool. So, um, you'll lose 1547 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 1: some there and you'll have some you know, some other 1548 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: small things come in from here and there. But I 1549 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 1: think this these first two days of the Tamperine right, 1550 01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: um successful in Buffalo. Yeah, you're talking about the Tyler Craft. 1551 01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 1: You look tied in from Cincinnati. The bills. It's it's 1552 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,720 Speaker 1: reporter as an eighteen point seven five million dollars deals. 1553 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 1: Sounds wow, wow, that's so, say so eighteen minus seventy five, right, Yeah, 1554 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 1: so it's not it's a one year for just like 1555 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: seven million bucks and then if he's still on the 1556 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,720 Speaker 1: team next March, then they'll give him a little bump, yeah, 1557 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 1: a bonus. Yeah, there's some rolling guarantee, right, and then 1558 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 1: they guarantee, then they roll it into the next year. 1559 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 1: So really it's only it's less than seven million dollars 1560 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:22,920 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah. So that's one of the you know, 1561 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 1: these big signings that we've these big I say big, 1562 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 1: one of these important signings that we've seen. It doesn't 1563 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:29,720 Speaker 1: really cost him all that much. And when you talk 1564 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 1: about seventy point five, you can be smart with how 1565 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 1: you structure, how you move things around, and you can 1566 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 1: also be smart about how you sort of deal with 1567 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,519 Speaker 1: it from a bonus standpoint. Right. So I like that 1568 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,280 Speaker 1: some of these signing bonuses that have come in here 1569 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 1: have been lower because that keeps your deadcap lower down 1570 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,120 Speaker 1: down the line a lot of good things. That's why 1571 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,120 Speaker 1: we're I think where we are at about seventy million 1572 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,240 Speaker 1: to start with is last year was the fire cell, right, 1573 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:52,760 Speaker 1: you had to get rid of all that deadcap, and 1574 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 1: you know you had seventy million in deadcap last year. 1575 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 1: So it's a it's a kind of a nice step 1576 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 1: forward here, Like it entreats me that the Bills appear 1577 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 1: to be doing stuff the typically they have done in 1578 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 1: the past, or other teams have done in June, for instance, 1579 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: like Crofts a one year guarantee essentially, so it's basically 1580 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 1: one year contract. Obviously, Frank Gore's a one year deal. 1581 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 1: Typically you don't get those a chance to make those 1582 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 1: deals until June, until the frenzy is over. It's a 1583 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,120 Speaker 1: nice point, yeah, Kevin Johnson too, from what we're here, 1584 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 1: those are the kind of deals you want when you're building, right, 1585 01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 1: and that's where they are. This is a big year 1586 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 1: for obviously this draft. But now you've got your your quarterback, 1587 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,839 Speaker 1: you've got your Josh Allen, You've got some other pieces 1588 01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,360 Speaker 1: in place. You've got the center of your defense and 1589 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:34,479 Speaker 1: tremid edmunds Um and certainly you know Trevious White in 1590 01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the back there. So there's a core that they can 1591 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,600 Speaker 1: now look to to say, these are the holes we 1592 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,479 Speaker 1: have to fill, and you don't have to make big 1593 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 1: splashes to do that, right I mean, And that's the 1594 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,559 Speaker 1: that's like I said, the lesson of this free agency. 1595 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 1: You don't have to go six years on these guys 1596 01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,639 Speaker 1: to get you know, the top of the market line guys. 1597 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: There are people willing to bet on themselves. And there's 1598 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, Sheldon Richardson the last year one year deals 1599 01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 1: to go with decent teams who they who they believed in, 1600 01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: They wanted to you know, be on a defense they 1601 01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,960 Speaker 1: believed in. Both those guys cash in this year. So 1602 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: you're looking for those players who are sort of betting 1603 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 1: them themselves this year, and I think they found two 1604 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 1: of them and Croft and Kevin Johnson. Yeah, that's the key. 1605 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: They bet on themselves and they if they'll give them 1606 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,760 Speaker 1: a one year deal, they feel like, well that's a 1607 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 1: one that's a guarantee. Anyway, I know I'm going to 1608 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: get that money. So I'm whether I get hurt or not. 1609 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay this year even if but I'm 1610 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,840 Speaker 1: just risking injury. And if they're a really good player 1611 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 1: and they get to the end of that one year, 1612 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: hitting free agency is what all these guys need to do. 1613 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,000 Speaker 1: I love when we've seen the crazy numbers and the 1614 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 1: contracts and then they do get some large chunk of 1615 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,080 Speaker 1: guaranteed money no matter what the length of the contract is. 1616 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: So that's really what the free agent market is about 1617 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 1: for the teams, looking for those guys who are willing 1618 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 1: to bet on themselves on a short term deal. Give 1619 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 1: them what they want upfront, and then get out of 1620 01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: it if you want, or like the Bills did with Crofts, 1621 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 1: have like two options at the end, say i'll pick 1622 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 1: it up. We'll pick it up, and then it's still 1623 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: a bargain. If he becomes the player they think he 1624 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 1: will be, those second and third years are going to 1625 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 1: be value, oh, because they've pushed into the first year. 1626 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: It's it's a nice way to look at it. The 1627 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: player gets paid. The structure is really nice for the cap, 1628 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 1: especially when you have Captain burn like they do, and 1629 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 1: then here two and you three are are crap. Shoot, 1630 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 1: And if they're if if he's a player, the Bills 1631 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,879 Speaker 1: are gonna win on that side, right. Um, The biggest 1632 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: money deal to Bills have made so farre to Peers 1633 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: is the one with the center, Mitch Moore's four years, 1634 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 1: forty four and a half million dollars. What do you think? 1635 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you'll always overpay to get the guy you 1636 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 1: wanted for you to see, that's the case here, I 1637 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 1: would imagine. I like this a lot. Tell me why. 1638 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,920 Speaker 1: Coming from a great team, Obviously they loved him. They 1639 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,960 Speaker 1: had another option. That's why he's gone. He's not gone 1640 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 1: because he was a bad player. He's gone because they 1641 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 1: had a better option. Sort um twenty six. You know 1642 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 1: you didn't. You didn't have to go for the thirty 1643 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 1: year old free agent vet Um, this guy could be 1644 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,120 Speaker 1: a long term fit. Here's the way I looked at it. 1645 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 1: You could you either do this and you overpay a 1646 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,599 Speaker 1: little bit for this player right now. I mean he's 1647 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 1: top market center now, or you spend a legitimate draft 1648 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 1: pick first or second round on a center. Um. So 1649 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 1: if that's the option, I like this one better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1650 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: And we talked with Mitch Holthus the Chiefs played by 1651 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,880 Speaker 1: play guy about an hour ago and the way he 1652 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 1: described him too, you can just see that Mitch Moore's 1653 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,519 Speaker 1: kind of resonates with Sean McDermot in terms of the 1654 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 1: leadership they need upfront. H They've talked about how they 1655 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: need leaders on offense. I've heard Jean say that this 1656 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 1: guy could step in and fill the void immediately, right, 1657 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 1: and probably will, I would think, isn't it pretty obvious 1658 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,120 Speaker 1: that was a huge need From last year? It just 1659 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 1: seemed leadership like the middle of that line was just 1660 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 1: kind of blowing up. Yeah. Yeah, So do you notice 1661 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 1: a trend at all this year? I mean, what are 1662 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 1: some of the things that are evolving away from what 1663 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,840 Speaker 1: we maybe it's been in the past. What are the 1664 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 1: teams doing now? I know that we're talking about the 1665 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: way these contracts are structure, but is there anything that's 1666 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 1: maybe kind of a bedrock kind of thing that's changing 1667 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,679 Speaker 1: shifting in the league in terms of the total money, 1668 01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:44,680 Speaker 1: the total values that have been thrown out here. There 1669 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,640 Speaker 1: are certain positions that are just resetting themselves, and that 1670 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 1: surprises me. I mean I had some some valuations on 1671 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 1: a couple of players, especially these safeties, which there were 1672 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,040 Speaker 1: plenty of them, generally when you get ten of ten 1673 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,880 Speaker 1: good players at one position, they're not going to get paid. 1674 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,760 Speaker 1: Let me supply demand right weel half, we're talking in here, 1675 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: what's going on with safeties? Because all these safeties were 1676 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: released and hit the market, and I thought they're being devalued. Well, no, 1677 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: when you look at Matthews deal and with m Landon Collins, yeah, 1678 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,839 Speaker 1: Landing College deal. I don't understand what happened with safeties. 1679 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: They they were devalued and then they were released because 1680 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: the veterans salaries they were on were too high for 1681 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: those teams. Well now they're worse. It was a complete 1682 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 1: one eighty. Like I said, supplying demands out the window 1683 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 1: here because these players just completely catched in. They reset 1684 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,880 Speaker 1: the market completely fourteen million of years now the top 1685 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 1: safety which is almost as much as a cornerback now, 1686 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 1: which is crazy. And look at Earl Thomas hasn't even 1687 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 1: signed yet and it's possible he resets it again. And 1688 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,240 Speaker 1: then same thing with the inside linebacker, which is just 1689 01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 1: like I'd like to know where Earl Thomas is gonna land. 1690 01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:47,720 Speaker 1: That's interesting. It's I think his options are dwindling now 1691 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: because you know, it was a quick, quick market yesterday 1692 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,720 Speaker 1: for these guys getting getting snatched up. I still like 1693 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Houston for him. I still think San Francisco gets involved. 1694 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,280 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman's obviously gonna be poelling for that out there. 1695 01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,720 Speaker 1: Um just teams with some cap who will pay a 1696 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 1: little bit more for that kind of a player. I 1697 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 1: know Dallas Wonson, but Dallas just doesn't have the cap, 1698 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,559 Speaker 1: the cap space right now to do that based on 1699 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,479 Speaker 1: these numbers we're seen. You mentioned the corners. I've read 1700 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,559 Speaker 1: something today that safeties have just about past corner corners 1701 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 1: are basically the same value they were even ten years 1702 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 1: ago in the league. Right in terms of the top 1703 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 1: paid ones. Oh yeah, yeah, it's hard. I mean in 1704 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,840 Speaker 1: the one that signed last year in New York, Tremaine 1705 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Johnson kind of a bust, right, They're they're miserable with 1706 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: that contract. So yeah, the the workhorse cornerbacks, right, your 1707 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 1: slack guys, justin Colemans, We're gonna see Bryce Callahan, They're 1708 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna bump up a little bit. You're gonna see a 1709 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 1: little bit more money for those kind of guys. But 1710 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,679 Speaker 1: you're outside shutdown guys. It hasn't the barometer hasn't moved 1711 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,920 Speaker 1: very much in the past three years. So yeah, safeties 1712 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,640 Speaker 1: have caught them. Inside linebackers have blown past them. H C. J. 1713 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 1: Mosley gets seventeen million a year, Kwan Alexander off a 1714 01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:50,439 Speaker 1: torn acl thirteen and a half a year out in 1715 01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: San fran That's a position that was completely devalued, almost 1716 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 1: to the point of the running back a few years ago. 1717 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was, it was way down there. Kristin 1718 01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,680 Speaker 1: Brown couldn't find a deal way back up exactly, and 1719 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 1: I think too, not for nothing, but it seems to me, 1720 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,840 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think, maybe, Um, Steph Gilmore, but 1721 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a corner, an elite, shutdown 1722 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 1: corner who hit the market. It's hard to think of 1723 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 1: one since darrelle Reeves. Josh Brman did and Josh Norman 1724 01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 1: got cade in Washington. But you forgot about him. And 1725 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,639 Speaker 1: that's the point, right right, Um fourteen and a half 1726 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: million a year for him. So and that was a 1727 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 1: few years, that was a handful of years ago. It was, Yeah, 1728 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,799 Speaker 1: it was a while. The point is, outside of Gilmore, 1729 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 1: Gilmore is probably the best case free agent scenario for 1730 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 1: cornerbacks of the past five or so years. I mean 1731 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 1: he's he's worked out obviously, remind me what his number is. 1732 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 1: It's it's fourteen, thirteen and a half, fourteen a year. 1733 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: But I mean that's safeties are there now, right, Safeties 1734 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,240 Speaker 1: are there now. But it's but now teams are hanging 1735 01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 1: onto those guys, right, they're not letting those guys hit 1736 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 1: the free agent market. I We'll see, we'll see how 1737 01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: if that that market's going to have to reset avail eventually. 1738 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: It's a it was a tough year for free agent 1739 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 1: cornerbacks in terms of the guys available. I think it's 1740 01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 1: a tough draft. It's well, it's a thing. Yeah, okay, 1741 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,719 Speaker 1: so positionally it just kind of worked out that way. 1742 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,600 Speaker 1: But because these other positions, which I consider to be 1743 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 1: lesser importance in terms of finances, because they've gone so high, 1744 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:06,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to see that reset next year for 1745 01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,599 Speaker 1: those positions. With Mike Genitti, managing editor spot tract dot Com, 1746 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,400 Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the free agency negotiation period. 1747 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: We're talking with Mike about caps and contracts. You know, 1748 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,719 Speaker 1: I'd like to think that there's correlation between the market 1749 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 1: for inside linebackers and the way the game is played 1750 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,559 Speaker 1: or the market for safeties and the way the football 1751 01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,040 Speaker 1: is played. But I don't see it in either either case. Yeah, 1752 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,639 Speaker 1: that's the logic I'm missing too. You know, the running 1753 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,479 Speaker 1: games are slowing down. It's more of a passing game. 1754 01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,960 Speaker 1: You want guys that can go horizontal. And the Bills 1755 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: have one on a nice rookie contract. So that's something 1756 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: to feel good about here for sure. You know the 1757 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: Jets pain seventeen million a year for CJ. Mosley is 1758 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,880 Speaker 1: that's quite a story. It really is quite a story. 1759 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,559 Speaker 1: So the logic fails me a little bit there. Safety 1760 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 1: production has been I think it's important. I think safeties 1761 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 1: are important, and they've been devalued sort of wrongly over 1762 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 1: the past few years. And maybe it's the conversation to 1763 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: have about if teams are playing on the outside or 1764 01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 1: down the middle a little bit more. Yeah, we talked 1765 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 1: about this on this show. And in the control of them, 1766 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 1: I think teams played safety. Teams have individual ways they 1767 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: want to play their safety, and they value him differently. 1768 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 1: Is he a box safety? You see it, right? He 1769 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 1: back up and play past defense, get to do a 1770 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,360 Speaker 1: little bit of both, and I think they just they 1771 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:15,960 Speaker 1: kind of a sign a value based on what he 1772 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,240 Speaker 1: does for our defense. That's right. And the problem is 1773 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 1: Landon Collins is essentially a box safety who gets fourteen million. Yeah, 1774 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter what you are. It doesn't matter, right, 1775 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, turn Matthew, you know, the honey 1776 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,760 Speaker 1: Badger did it all. I mean he played d line, 1777 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: he played safety, he played cornerback, he did it all. 1778 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 1: And he's still fourteen millions. So if you're a fit 1779 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,000 Speaker 1: and you're available and the freedom markets here, you're gonna 1780 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:37,639 Speaker 1: get your money. Right, Let's flip it over to the 1781 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. You just saw Frank Gore 1782 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 1: sign here in Buffalo one year deal to two million dollars. 1783 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,160 Speaker 1: What what's the ceiling like for Levi on Bell and 1784 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,280 Speaker 1: these guys are I he's gonna hit it and he's 1785 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 1: sitting there waiting. Now forget he's a different case, no question, 1786 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 1: because he's been saying he set out this year and 1787 01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 1: he forget the money he left on the table, and 1788 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 1: how much money's gonna take for him to make all 1789 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 1: of that back up and come out ahead in the deal? Yeah, 1790 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,240 Speaker 1: where's that mark? Because I've seen it up until last year, 1791 01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 1: it's been devalued. Running back is you know you pick, 1792 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, Alvin Kamara a fifth round pick, all these 1793 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,240 Speaker 1: guys coming to late in the draft, Connor who is 1794 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,040 Speaker 1: a former cancer patient now playing really well, you know 1795 01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:19,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Where's that position. It's gonna be up 1796 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: and down. It's gonna have its extremes, right, it's gonna 1797 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 1: have You're gonna have teams that refuse the pay running 1798 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,880 Speaker 1: back and they're gonna build it through the draft. They're 1799 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 1: going to sign some some short you know, short term 1800 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 1: free agents at decent prices. I think you're going to 1801 01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 1: continue to see more and more of that. At the 1802 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 1: same time, you're gonna have your Todd Gurleys, your Ezekiel Elliott's, 1803 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 1: You're David Johnson's UM, and obviously you're Levi on Bella's here. 1804 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 1: You're gonna have guys that cash in because they can 1805 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,760 Speaker 1: do more than the average running back. That's not going 1806 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 1: to go away, but that's not going to be prevalent either. 1807 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think, I mean, Alvin Kamaro will 1808 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 1: break the bank of Bench eventually. Here Levion's numbers, they 1809 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 1: could be twenty million years, that could be fifteen. I 1810 01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 1: think sixteen is probably the right number for him right now. 1811 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,280 Speaker 1: He is twenty seven, he's got a year off, he's fresh. 1812 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,520 Speaker 1: The teams that are going after him are willing to overspend, 1813 01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,559 Speaker 1: the Jets, the Raiders, maybe the forty nine ers, maybe 1814 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:12,920 Speaker 1: the Texans. They're willing to overspend for playmakers, and they 1815 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 1: need playmakers. So I think that sixteen million per year 1816 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: mark is probably a fit for him, But like I said, 1817 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:19,639 Speaker 1: it could go higher than that based on what we've 1818 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 1: been hearing. These other guys, they're gonna get paid. I mean, 1819 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is a bad case right now because of 1820 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: the our threats and his falloff almost immediately after signing 1821 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 1: this deal. Right David Johnson's sort of similar. He had 1822 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 1: sort of a ghost year in twenty eighteen after signing 1823 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 1: this deal. So the running back market is very interesting 1824 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,160 Speaker 1: because of these extremes. You've got teams that spend nothing 1825 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 1: and teams that spend a ton. I don't think that's 1826 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: going to change. Mike, you mentioned the Jets overs paying. 1827 01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:47,360 Speaker 1: I want to get into the Jets a little bit 1828 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:48,839 Speaker 1: with you when we come back. They've had an interesting 1829 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:50,920 Speaker 1: couple of days and we'll talk about that with Mike 1830 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,799 Speaker 1: Janeti when we return. He is managing editor of spottrack 1831 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: dot com. We're talking about the signings today. The Bill 1832 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,080 Speaker 1: signed a couple of wide receivers or were great to 1833 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: terms with a couple of wide receivers. More on that 1834 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,639 Speaker 1: when we return One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health 1835 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:17,759 Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome 1836 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,320 Speaker 1: back One Bill's Live. John Burfe' Steve Tasker. Mike Janettie 1837 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: joins us for a little while longer today, managing editor 1838 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: of spottrack dot com, the website that deals with salary 1839 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 1: caps and free agency. Perfect for today. The Bills have 1840 01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:31,920 Speaker 1: gone out and agreed to terms to a couple with 1841 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:34,360 Speaker 1: a couple of wide receivers, Cole Beasley and John Brown, 1842 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,479 Speaker 1: and we're excited about that. This morning, I'm watching NFL Network, guys, 1843 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,680 Speaker 1: and my friend Kim Jones is on there at the 1844 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 1: Jets headquarters talking about how the Jets have made these 1845 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,439 Speaker 1: two big moves c J. Mosley and Anthony Barr yesterday, 1846 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,040 Speaker 1: and the Jets are really serious about winning. And I 1847 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 1: love Kim, but I thought, Kim, everybody's pretty serious about 1848 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,519 Speaker 1: winning in the league. And then all of a sudden, 1849 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr reverses his field. Here he is hammering out 1850 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: Albert Barr says he's hammering out a multi year deal 1851 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 1: with the Vikings about thirteen and a half million per year. 1852 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 1: Bar loves Minnesota and the team's culture, and the Vikings 1853 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,719 Speaker 1: sweetened their offer last night after he agreed to terms 1854 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,680 Speaker 1: with the Jets, which is interesting. And then I and 1855 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,679 Speaker 1: Rappaport says, the Jets now with extra money, they've taken 1856 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,679 Speaker 1: some of that money, Rappaport says, and made the last 1857 01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:16,720 Speaker 1: and final big offer to let me on Bell. It's 1858 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,479 Speaker 1: decision time for the Steelers running back. Wow. Yeah, the 1859 01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,800 Speaker 1: Jets remain interesting, but they gotta be blown away by 1860 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:27,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr's change of heart, right, they Gottaets gotta ruin them. Yeah, 1861 01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,080 Speaker 1: because he took less to go back to Minnesota. Yeah, 1862 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 1: so it was a it was about going back home 1863 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: for him and staying where he was. And I love 1864 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,479 Speaker 1: this for him. I like this from Minnesota. Clearly he's 1865 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,479 Speaker 1: a fit there, um and I love a guy who'll 1866 01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 1: take a little less money for you know, a better 1867 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 1: fit for him. But it hurts the Jets. And look 1868 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,840 Speaker 1: at they're they're up high in the draft. They're gonna 1869 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 1: get some kind of d lineman. You have to imagine 1870 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 1: this draft. But if they were thinking a veteran to 1871 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 1: go with this, there's other options. Now are they in 1872 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 1: on d Ford? Are they trading some draft picks? They 1873 01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 1: go get de Ford out in Kansas City, Um, they're 1874 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna have. This is certainly planned b for them for sure. 1875 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,719 Speaker 1: And if they're adding more money to levy On Bell's deal, 1876 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, is that going to get them in the 1877 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 1: end of this too, Because that's if Levon Bell doesn't 1878 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,040 Speaker 1: need more money in my opinion, if there's multiple teams 1879 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 1: asking for him, right, I mean, if the Ravens are in, 1880 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: and if the Raiders are in, there's plenty of money 1881 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,960 Speaker 1: being thrown around for Levon bell Um, So we'll see. 1882 01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,680 Speaker 1: I like the move they made with Jamison Crowder. I 1883 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,280 Speaker 1: thought that was a nice gift for it for Sam 1884 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Donald on that offense, I thought Anthony Barr was a 1885 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 1: nice fit for that defense because look at that defense 1886 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,600 Speaker 1: is pretty good. They were pretty good last year. So 1887 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 1: if they're if they're probably more that's what I mean, 1888 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:33,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna be good. And Anthony Bark can get after 1889 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback. He's a great guy. He's a great blitzer 1890 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: from that spot, so he was gonna fit in there. 1891 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Greg Williams one, that's the guy. That's 1892 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,080 Speaker 1: the guy, that's right guy. And that's what I mean. 1893 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 1: There was clearly a fit that he saw, sure, and 1894 01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: that means they're looking for some kind of veteran presence. 1895 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:48,800 Speaker 1: So I think there's another move to be had by 1896 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 1: the Jets to replace this situation. Let me un bell 1897 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,479 Speaker 1: a fit for them financially and otherwise. Yeah, oh yeah, 1898 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 1: they've got They've got more than enough. They've got ninety 1899 01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 1: million to work with here, so that you know they 1900 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 1: can they can up any offer. I just don't know 1901 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 1: that you want to for a guy. Well, that's that's 1902 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 1: my question. I guess. Are you of the camp that 1903 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,400 Speaker 1: believes you should not pay running backs that much? And 1904 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 1: they're gonna whoever gets them gonna pay him what? It's 1905 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 1: fifteen million plus? Yeah, like I said, it could get up. 1906 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,120 Speaker 1: It could get into crazy money if there's a bidding war. 1907 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel bad about the bills nine million 1908 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 1: for Jad. You want to pay twice that much or 1909 01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 1: one and a half time that much at right? And 1910 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: bills twenty seven going on twenty year. I mean, yeah, 1911 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,360 Speaker 1: spend the money on the offensive line at which they 1912 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 1: need to do right the way spend the money on 1913 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I'm I'm yeah, I'm down that road. 1914 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 1: I'm I'm down that rabbit hole all the way. I'm 1915 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 1: not coming out. If I'm comparing the Bills and the Jets, 1916 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,920 Speaker 1: I prefer what the Bills have done already early. It's 1917 01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: really been what you said that this morning. I would 1918 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 1: have I thought Mitch Morrise was a great yet I 1919 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 1: thought I thought it put a stamp on what this 1920 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 1: offseason is about. And it's because Josh Allen is here 1921 01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:51,760 Speaker 1: and we need to build a round him. Rights, what's 1922 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 1: the Jets should be doing that with Sam Donald? What 1923 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 1: do you think about the Spencer Long signing right after 1924 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 1: he was released? I like it. He's versatile, right, So 1925 01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:00,080 Speaker 1: that was sort of a backup plan if you'd can 1926 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,559 Speaker 1: get the center you wanted. He could play center if 1927 01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:05,240 Speaker 1: you needed to. He's gonna probably move over to guard now. 1928 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 1: So you've addressed two moves. One you had to overpay for, 1929 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: a one you underpaid for. In my opinion, you got 1930 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 1: Spencer a Long early before the numbers started to get crazy. 1931 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 1: So I like those moves to get this. Like I said, 1932 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,600 Speaker 1: put a foot down, We're gon we're gonna address the 1933 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:19,439 Speaker 1: offensive line. They're gonna do it in the draft as well. 1934 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 1: So it was a nice move to start the year. 1935 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,679 Speaker 1: One of the things I want to ask you, because 1936 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 1: we talked about this in the break, that you know 1937 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:27,600 Speaker 1: we've had an eye on the Jets and they've been 1938 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 1: at the top of the thing because of this Anthony 1939 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,120 Speaker 1: Barr thing to him going and then giving them the 1940 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,120 Speaker 1: pump fake and going back to Minnesota. The Bills and 1941 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:38,720 Speaker 1: the Jets are running very parallel this point in history. Yeah, 1942 01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,479 Speaker 1: they both positioned themselves to get a quarterback in last 1943 01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,080 Speaker 1: year's draft, in a quarterback in a quarterback deep draft. 1944 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,720 Speaker 1: Now they feel like both feel they've got a guy 1945 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 1: they can build around. The Bills defense number two, number 1946 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 1: top three defense in the National Football League statistically last year, 1947 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:58,000 Speaker 1: and the Jets leaned on their defense and now they're 1948 01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 1: both got a lot of cap money to spend. The 1949 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:02,360 Speaker 1: Bills and I'm not I gotta be honest, I don't 1950 01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,240 Speaker 1: know what the Jets draft. I don't know how many 1951 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: picks they have in this draft. Do the Jets, But 1952 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:10,439 Speaker 1: the Bills have got ten picks, three in the top 1953 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 1: three rounds and then four in the fourth and fifth round. 1954 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,719 Speaker 1: Two and the fourth, two and the fifth and I'm sorry, 1955 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 1: that's not right. Two in the Yeah, that's right. Two 1956 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:20,479 Speaker 1: in the fourth, two and the fifth and they go 1957 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,280 Speaker 1: down to sixty seventh. So there, these two teams are 1958 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:26,160 Speaker 1: very you know, they're like running neck and neck down, 1959 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, I mean they're they're like in a horse race. 1960 01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,080 Speaker 1: How do you see this going so far for both 1961 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,840 Speaker 1: of them? Yeah, like I said, division rivals. I mean, 1962 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 1: that's that's bitter right now. I mean it's well, well, 1963 01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 1: let me put it this way. We discussed the inside 1964 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 1: linebacker situation, right The Bills addressed that last year along 1965 01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 1: with the quarterback, and a lot of people gave them 1966 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 1: flat for that because it was a high draft pick 1967 01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 1: for an inside linebacker. Well look what happened. Look what 1968 01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 1: happened right a year later. Now that market has just exploded. 1969 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:55,000 Speaker 1: So if you wanted one of the top you know, 1970 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 1: inside linebackers off the market, you were paying almost quarterback 1971 01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,400 Speaker 1: money for them. So they've won there because of what 1972 01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 1: they did last year. They've got a you know, the 1973 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,280 Speaker 1: captain of their defense. In the middle now on I'm 1974 01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 1: rookie contract for four more years. Like I said, they've 1975 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,960 Speaker 1: made it. They've made a stance. That offensive line is 1976 01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 1: going to be how they spend some money earlier. They've 1977 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,479 Speaker 1: done it. They knew the head wide receiver needs. They've 1978 01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 1: done that without breaking the bank. I mean, they didn't 1979 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:20,000 Speaker 1: overpay for you know, Tyrell Williams or Randall Cobb, who 1980 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 1: maybe your more flash year names on this market right now, 1981 01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 1: or Devin Funchis who you know got a ten million 1982 01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,920 Speaker 1: dollars deal you know in the first year. Yeah, yeah, 1983 01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 1: So they slow played that process, got some good numbers 1984 01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,720 Speaker 1: for two guys that fit. Um. Like I said, the 1985 01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Bills seem to be right on track. I love the 1986 01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: move to get Mitch Morrison put that in place. Even 1987 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,840 Speaker 1: though they paid a little bit more for that. The Jets, 1988 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,680 Speaker 1: like I said, Anthony Barr is a setback for them. 1989 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 1: That's now they need to go and address that somewhere else, 1990 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,400 Speaker 1: whether that's a trade or whether that's a splash signing 1991 01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 1: of one of these veterans who were released. Um, that's 1992 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:53,240 Speaker 1: the other thing. You don't want to put all your 1993 01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,760 Speaker 1: eggs in one basket right now. You don't want to 1994 01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,600 Speaker 1: do it. This is still the tampering period. We're not 1995 01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 1: even in the league year yet, so you want to 1996 01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: temper your signings, keep some of that cap available because 1997 01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,600 Speaker 1: teams that are making these signings, like the Redskins and 1998 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:08,320 Speaker 1: the Bears and those teams, there's gonna be players that 1999 01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 1: fall off those rosters because of the moves they've made. 2000 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have some a chance to sign some 2001 01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:14,920 Speaker 1: of these veterans that fall off as casualties. Over the 2002 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 1: next two weeks.

I wanted you 2046 01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,280 Speaker 1: to pronounce it. Yeah, but he has not. He has 2047 01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,280 Speaker 1: not been a star. He's been a reserve so well. 2048 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're planning on him to start, but 2049 01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,599 Speaker 1: certainly it's a depth move at least. All their other 2050 01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,360 Speaker 1: news from around the NFL, the New York Jets went 2051 01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 1: hard and got linebacker CJ. Moseley expected to sign a 2052 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:48,080 Speaker 1: five year, eighty five million dollars deal. Yesterday, they thought 2053 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 1: they had Anthony Barr in the fold. Anthony Barr decided 2054 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,320 Speaker 1: to stay with Minnesota and the Savers home tonight against Dallas. 2055 01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,000 Speaker 1: That's the update. So there's another offensive lineman, Tie. You 2056 01:35:58,040 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: think it's nisky? Will look it up? How to pronounce it? 2057 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 1: What do you know about him? Anybody know anything about him? 2058 01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 1: Outside he's a tackle, two years, fourteen and a half million. 2059 01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: I think he might be a starter. I mean that's 2060 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,120 Speaker 1: pretty good money. Money. That's pretty good money for you know, 2061 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,040 Speaker 1: a former reserve. So they must like what they see 2062 01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:16,200 Speaker 1: and want to put him on the line somewhere at least. Well, 2063 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,240 Speaker 1: we'll just see. Like I said, the Redskins are gonna 2064 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 1: have to lose some players. Here, we're told it's pronounced 2065 01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:25,200 Speaker 1: in secky, tie and secki. There you go, tie and secky. 2066 01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:29,599 Speaker 1: Mike Garafalo says it's a two year deal worth yeah, 2067 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 1: seven and seven point seven million and guarantees. Yeah, according 2068 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:34,559 Speaker 1: to his agent, So that's got to be done right. 2069 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:37,600 Speaker 1: The agent's being quoted looks good, But do we know 2070 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,519 Speaker 1: anything about him, Let's look him up, let's find out 2071 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 1: plays right tackle. You know, do you know how we're 2072 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 1: getting we're getting there. That's probably what the Bills are thinking, 2073 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:50,280 Speaker 1: right right tackle. And some people were saying he's been 2074 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 1: a reserve. He hasn't been one of those guys that 2075 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, you're there thinking he's a He's a reserve 2076 01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:57,960 Speaker 1: kind of offensive lineman for the most part. But yeah, 2077 01:36:58,080 --> 01:36:59,599 Speaker 1: just the way that's being reported. If I had a guess, 2078 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,280 Speaker 1: that's probab a one year, seven point seven million dollars deal, right, 2079 01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:04,800 Speaker 1: So I know they're kind of fire and a guy 2080 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 1: they think that has some potential. I like that a 2081 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,320 Speaker 1: lot for sure. It's an interesting way to go through 2082 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,200 Speaker 1: a free agency and the Bill sort of specialize in 2083 01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,200 Speaker 1: that because with the Rams at the beginning. He's been 2084 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:17,000 Speaker 1: four years with the Redskins. Played in UM fourteen games 2085 01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 1: last year eleven and two, thy seventeen, sixteen and two 2086 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,320 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen. Started only five of those games, so 2087 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,320 Speaker 1: he's been a backup for the Redskins. Um A guy's 2088 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,680 Speaker 1: six eight, three hundred and thirty pounds, but he is 2089 01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 1: thirty three years old as well out of Texas State, 2090 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,599 Speaker 1: so he's I think he's a depth move with a chance, 2091 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,080 Speaker 1: and they probably told him, you get a chance to 2092 01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,040 Speaker 1: start um and at least you know, hang around the 2093 01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: league if you can, if you can make yourself valuable 2094 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:47,720 Speaker 1: to us. So Tyler Inseci or tie Insecki Um coming 2095 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,680 Speaker 1: over to the Bills, it looks like so they've got 2096 01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:54,600 Speaker 1: another enormous body. Seven free agents added in lesson in 2097 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:56,200 Speaker 1: a day. We're not even there yet. We're not even 2098 01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 1: not even there yet. It's PA's not a big number either. 2099 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 1: It's kind of these guys that, like you said earlier, Mike, 2100 01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,639 Speaker 1: their kind of get guys that are betting on themselves. Yeah, 2101 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 1: perfect guys. When you're seven million, let's see what happens. 2102 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,240 Speaker 1: I like it a lot. I don't think this takes 2103 01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:13,519 Speaker 1: them out of that. They're running for another tackle. We've 2104 01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:16,639 Speaker 1: heard Darryl Williams mentioned a few times aligned with the Bills, 2105 01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 1: especially with the Carolina Panthers connection. I still think that's 2106 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,960 Speaker 1: in play. Why we're not hearing anything about him or 2107 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:25,360 Speaker 1: his equal answer. By the way, the past brusher out 2108 01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 1: of the Lions both had injuries last year, so you 2109 01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,439 Speaker 1: want to get to that March thirteen physical, So tomorrow 2110 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,800 Speaker 1: these guys. You have to go through a physical once 2111 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,639 Speaker 1: you see what they're what they looked like health wise, 2112 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,920 Speaker 1: then you make an offer. So I guess you're waiting 2113 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,280 Speaker 1: a few days with those kind of guys. But none 2114 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,760 Speaker 1: of these deals are breaking the bank to the point 2115 01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,679 Speaker 1: where the bills have to stop signing people for sure. 2116 01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:46,639 Speaker 1: So this deal takes it down to what fifty million 2117 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 1: maybe just a guess, Yeah, just to guess they're not 2118 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna get They're not going to spend anywhere near all 2119 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,720 Speaker 1: of this, right, No, No, And they'll have money, as 2120 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,000 Speaker 1: you said, to pay draft picks obviously, but even make 2121 01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 1: new deals with guys if they want to extend about sentians, Yeah, 2122 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:00,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to start talking to trevis it kind 2123 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 1: of players, yeah, for sure. So they didn't have to 2124 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:04,679 Speaker 1: do this year at all, So there was no extension 2125 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,160 Speaker 1: to be had this year outside of the small ones. Um, 2126 01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 1: so yeah, you want to start to stockpile this money 2127 01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:10,800 Speaker 1: and roll it over to the next year to see 2128 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,320 Speaker 1: what happens. My jinn Idy, he is a managing editor 2129 01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,479 Speaker 1: spottrack dot Com, is our guest for the next couple 2130 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,719 Speaker 1: of minutes or so. Hope to get the new defense 2131 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:19,519 Speaker 1: about Kevin Johnson in here in a couple of minutes, 2132 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 1: he just agreed to terms with the Bills. Um, what 2133 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:23,920 Speaker 1: was it, Steve? Last weekend I mentioned to you how 2134 01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:26,680 Speaker 1: the Bills made Oh, they got Jordan Phillips done the 2135 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:28,479 Speaker 1: early last week, And I said to Steve, I have 2136 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,479 Speaker 1: a feeling it's gonna At one point, I said, they're 2137 01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:32,519 Speaker 1: gonna sign like a dozen guys next week. Well, they 2138 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,680 Speaker 1: might not get there, but we're at seven already. Oh yeah, 2139 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 1: a day or two in. I mean, that's that's a lot. 2140 01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:38,120 Speaker 1: That's a volume. At least it's the right way to 2141 01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:39,800 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I mean, it's a depth league. Now 2142 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,400 Speaker 1: it's one guy, so it's a depth fleek that all 2143 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,559 Speaker 1: these positions you I mean, you your pass rushers, your 2144 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Injuries happen. People know this. But also you 2145 01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,000 Speaker 1: don't need to go out and sign a guy to 2146 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:51,559 Speaker 1: the top of the market teal anymore. You just don't 2147 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:55,120 Speaker 1: need to have The Patriots ever, right, they signed seven 2148 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 1: running backs and eight ride receivers and you know, five 2149 01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:00,320 Speaker 1: six linemen and they roll those things over on an 2150 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 1: annual basis. Uh. That sort of seems to be the 2151 01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 1: strategy here with the bills at least in a few positions. 2152 01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 1: I expect them to make another secondary signing. I expect 2153 01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:10,479 Speaker 1: them to make another pass brush signing. And that's the go. 2154 01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,880 Speaker 1: With draft assets, able to get to a dozen two 2155 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:18,160 Speaker 1: offensive two offensive linemen, yeah, two wide receivers are running back, 2156 01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 1: tight end, tight end in a corner. There's probably another 2157 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:23,240 Speaker 1: tight end to be head too. Yeah. From the free 2158 01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,479 Speaker 1: agent market, I would think so. Yeah, it's it's real. 2159 01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 1: It's a big, big market. They're out there. Yeah, oh 2160 01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:34,000 Speaker 1: my gosh, what so fun? It is fun. They had 2161 01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,120 Speaker 1: no money to spend. Yeah, they're doing to be able 2162 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,240 Speaker 1: to you know, just just thanks. It's just nice to 2163 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,280 Speaker 1: get a participation trophy for the free agent market, right 2164 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,360 Speaker 1: because we haven't been able to even play. We have nobody. 2165 01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,000 Speaker 1: We're the we're the last guy picked. Every year we 2166 01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,000 Speaker 1: don't get a play. They might kind of like put 2167 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 1: a cap on this. It strikes me every year. And 2168 01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm older than you, I'm sure, and I'm older than see, 2169 01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,040 Speaker 1: but every year I am blown away by the money 2170 01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,400 Speaker 1: and and and I know that I know the cap 2171 01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:01,720 Speaker 1: goes up for year, and yet I'm still astounded at 2172 01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:03,800 Speaker 1: the start a free agency. That about the money that's 2173 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 1: going out. Obviously, no one's losing money in the NFL, right, 2174 01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:09,120 Speaker 1: but there is no end in sight for this. No really, no, 2175 01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:10,800 Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head. The cap went 2176 01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:14,080 Speaker 1: up another ten million and it's looking like it will 2177 01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 1: again next year. So until that stops happening, then yeah, 2178 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,439 Speaker 1: it's free reign. I mean, you've got the we we 2179 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,679 Speaker 1: answered Monday on our site the average team had thirty 2180 01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:26,000 Speaker 1: six million in cap space to work with. That's a lot. 2181 01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 1: That's a lot, you know, on average average. So yeah, 2182 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,639 Speaker 1: you had teams that really you know, had move had 2183 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 1: room to make some movements. Here they've done that. It's 2184 01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,560 Speaker 1: been a great twenty four hours here, I mean for 2185 01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 1: the top of the line guys and like the Bills 2186 01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,080 Speaker 1: have done sot of those Tier two players. Um, there's 2187 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 1: plenty more guys out there. Like I said, the tight 2188 01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:46,320 Speaker 1: end markets still pretty thick. We haven't seen the top 2189 01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers come off the board yet, so the next 2190 01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,680 Speaker 1: twenty four hours should be just as exciting. A lot 2191 01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,439 Speaker 1: of teams have have cap to use. That's that makes 2192 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,439 Speaker 1: this week fun. And like I said, there's no end 2193 01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,320 Speaker 1: insight on that. We may have to get you back 2194 01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:58,479 Speaker 1: in or.

It's important 2387 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:23,000 Speaker 1: to guys. They want to they want to be comfortable 2388 01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:24,240 Speaker 1: when they come to work, they want to like the 2389 01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,120 Speaker 1: guys they play with. It's a game that asks a lot. 2390 01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know and the NFL asks a 2391 01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:32,000 Speaker 1: lot of the guys who play it. And you don't 2392 01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:34,800 Speaker 1: want to go out there and take those risks and 2393 01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:38,880 Speaker 1: make those sacrifices and put all that emotional content into 2394 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 1: your games if you don't like the guys you're playing with. 2395 01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,919 Speaker 1: It's really important to a lot of guys and to everybody, 2396 01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:47,880 Speaker 1: and I think wisely, a lot of these guys know that, 2397 01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,200 Speaker 1: and they put a lot of value on that when 2398 01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,080 Speaker 1: they're picking where they want to play and what they're 2399 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,439 Speaker 1: going to play for. So I'm good for him for 2400 01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:58,640 Speaker 1: recognizing it and putting that at the top of his 2401 01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:01,080 Speaker 1: list and to find in a place where he's going 2402 01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:03,839 Speaker 1: to be happy.

He is official now 2404 01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:09,320 Speaker 1: and again he is a street guy now, an unrestricted 2405 01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:11,839 Speaker 1: free agent. That's why the Bills could make that official. 2406 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,479 Speaker 1: The rest of them have to wait until tomorrow because 2407 01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:18,320 Speaker 1: they are unrestricted free agents.

He instead decided to sign with the Baltimore Ravens. 2420 01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:55,000 Speaker 1: He had forty two catches last year for five touchdowns. 2421 01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:57,519 Speaker 1: He had a big year John Brown did in his 2422 01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:00,960 Speaker 1: second year twenty fifteen, sixty five catches for seven touchdowns. 2423 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,120 Speaker 1: But he's been a pretty consistent, healthy receiver over the years. 2424 01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: Expected to sign a three year deal with the Buffalo Bills, 2425 01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,599 Speaker 1: averaging what seven million a year for you know, nine 2426 01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,479 Speaker 1: million a year. That's pretty good. Cole Beasley agrees to 2427 01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:16,160 Speaker 1: terms with the Bills. Former Dallas Cowboy now who last 2428 01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:20,639 Speaker 1: year with the Cowboys caught sixty five passes, for three 2429 01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:23,240 Speaker 1: of them for touchdowns. He's been with the Dallas Cowboys 2430 01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:26,800 Speaker 1: for seven years. Cole Beasley, considered a slot receiver, one 2431 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,799 Speaker 1: of the best slot receivers in recent NFL play anyway, 2432 01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:34,160 Speaker 1: signed with the Cowboys as an understood as an undrafted 2433 01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:37,120 Speaker 1: free agent out of SMU. Cole Beasley coming to the 2434 01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:40,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills seventh season in the league and the latest one, 2435 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:41,960 Speaker 1: and we want to make sure we get his name 2436 01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,240 Speaker 1: as good as we can. Tie and Checky and Secky 2437 01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:51,280 Speaker 1: and Secky offensive lineman from Washington who interesting. We saw 2438 01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,200 Speaker 1: some of the numbers right on Tie and Secky's a 2439 01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,639 Speaker 1: contract and it's all speculative and pro Pro Football Focus 2440 01:52:56,760 --> 01:52:59,840 Speaker 1: has Tie and Secky. He's given up twenty seven quarter 2441 01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:04,519 Speaker 1: back hurries on a thousand and ninety three snaps over 2442 01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:07,280 Speaker 1: the last three seasons, so he's seen, as we said, 2443 01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:09,080 Speaker 1: he's been a reserve player he's only played He's played 2444 01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,760 Speaker 1: a thousand snaps over the last three years and giving 2445 01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:15,479 Speaker 1: up twenty seven quarterback hurries over that time. So he's 2446 01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:18,519 Speaker 1: six eight, three hundred and thirty pounds. He's an enormous dude. 2447 01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:21,200 Speaker 1: We'll see if he can come in and he's going 2448 01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 1: to compete to play right away on the Buffalo Bills 2449 01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:28,040 Speaker 1: offensive line, Tie and Secki from the Washington Redskins to Buffalo. 2450 01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:31,200 Speaker 1: A Twitter pull which we launched right around noon has 2451 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,160 Speaker 1: been rendered meaningless. And I know because we asked the 2452 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:36,760 Speaker 1: question on Twitter, what do the Bills do next? We 2453 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,640 Speaker 1: put that up at a five two noon today and 2454 01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:43,639 Speaker 1: Bill's fans are smart. Forty six percent said wide receiver boom, 2455 01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,639 Speaker 1: there's a wide two wide receivers. Forty six percent said 2456 01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:50,840 Speaker 1: offensive line boom, there's Tie and Secky five percent said 2457 01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,280 Speaker 1: edge rush, three percent said other. On the topic of 2458 01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,760 Speaker 1: edge rush, Steve, there's speculation, I can't remember who said 2459 01:53:55,800 --> 01:54:00,040 Speaker 1: it earlier today that Ziggianza maybe getting ready for a 2460 01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,880 Speaker 1: visit to the Buffalo Bill. Well, he is reported to 2461 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:05,200 Speaker 1: be visiting the Buffalo Bills. We'll see if ziggy Ans 2462 01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,679 Speaker 1: shows up in a Bill's uniform and what he finds 2463 01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:10,599 Speaker 1: when he gets here. That's another thing to keep an 2464 01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:15,640 Speaker 1: absolute eye on. It'll be interesting um um. And that's Uh. 2465 01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,000 Speaker 1: He's a good player. He's been a very good player 2466 01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:23,519 Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions. He's a pass rusher. I've been 2467 01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:27,760 Speaker 1: in uh productions, meeting with him, meetings with him. He 2468 01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:29,880 Speaker 1: is an impressive guys. He's one of those guys that 2469 01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:35,160 Speaker 1: you meet with and he's a serious dude. Uh. He's 2470 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,320 Speaker 1: a great athlete. Uh. He's a kind He kind of 2471 01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:41,320 Speaker 1: struck me as a thinker. I remember him being coming 2472 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:44,880 Speaker 1: across as a mature guy. Uh, not one of these. Um. 2473 01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:47,200 Speaker 1: Not a guy who's flighty or you know, you know, 2474 01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:50,040 Speaker 1: kind of a you know, kids stuff kind of guy. 2475 01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:52,200 Speaker 1: He is a serious pro. He's been around for a 2476 01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:53,840 Speaker 1: while as well, so you would think that would be 2477 01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:59,120 Speaker 1: the case. Ziggy ounces a great athlete, an athletic edge rusher. Um. 2478 01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:03,480 Speaker 1: I believe that the Lions run out of that four 2479 01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,960 Speaker 1: to three. So he's kind of a defensive end hand 2480 01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,160 Speaker 1: on the ground pass rusher. So we'll see Ziggy. Outs 2481 01:55:09,160 --> 01:55:10,960 Speaker 1: have scheduled to visit the Buffalo Bills and a couple 2482 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:12,920 Speaker 1: of other places. He's one other place I think he's 2483 01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:14,840 Speaker 1: going to New Orleans after the Buffalo Bills, so we'll 2484 01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,840 Speaker 1: see interesting to hear about that. So with all the 2485 01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:20,200 Speaker 1: guys and wide receivers and the offensive line that headed 2486 01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:23,440 Speaker 1: our list, there's an edge rusher coming in to visit 2487 01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:25,880 Speaker 1: as well. I thought I was joking last week when 2488 01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,200 Speaker 1: I said it wouldn't be great thing next week at 2489 01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:30,360 Speaker 1: this time that there are twelve new Buffalo Bills. They 2490 01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:34,000 Speaker 1: might get there. They've got seven right now. Two wide receivers, 2491 01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,960 Speaker 1: two offensive linemen, one tight end, one defensive back, one 2492 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:40,760 Speaker 1: running back. Seven new Buffalo Bills as of today, and 2493 01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:44,080 Speaker 1: free agency opens officially tomorrow at four. What do you think? 2494 01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:45,800 Speaker 1: Plenty of talk about Give us a call eight oh 2495 01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:48,960 Speaker 1: three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five 2496 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,640 Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty or send it in by a tweet. 2497 01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:53,640 Speaker 1: What do you think of the Bills move seven new players? 2498 01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:56,000 Speaker 1: Tom and Lackawana has a thought on this time? Go ahead, 2499 01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:59,880 Speaker 1: you're on the air. Yes, extremely happy with the Wolf 2500 01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:04,640 Speaker 1: so far. Hopefully they'll have Darry Williams in check out 2501 01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:08,480 Speaker 1: his injuries, and the same with Ziggy. But even if 2502 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:11,640 Speaker 1: something doesn't work out with that, now I think hopefully 2503 01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:14,120 Speaker 1: at least two quarterbacks are going to go before him, 2504 01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:17,360 Speaker 1: and maybe one of these big defensive guys will fall, 2505 01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 1: if not, maybe Devin White, so that you got somebody 2506 01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:24,920 Speaker 1: to groom behind the linso or if they move back 2507 01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:26,920 Speaker 1: a little, or even if they stay where they are, 2508 01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,280 Speaker 1: get one of the two tight ends from Iowa, then 2509 01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:33,480 Speaker 1: good could be the next gron Yeah, that's a lot 2510 01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:35,200 Speaker 1: to ask. Gronck is gonna be a Hall of Famer? 2511 01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:39,760 Speaker 1: And I have unless it's Gronk or Gronck facsimile, I 2512 01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:41,400 Speaker 1: don't know if I want to use the ninth overall 2513 01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 1: pick on a tight end. But you're not saying that necessarily, right, Tom, 2514 01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,040 Speaker 1: You could and if they can move back, yeah, okay, 2515 01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,200 Speaker 1: somewhere sure, late's first round. I'd be okay with a 2516 01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:51,800 Speaker 1: good tight end. There are some good tight ends a 2517 01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:53,600 Speaker 1: deep tight end class in the draft. Yeah, well, the 2518 01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:55,640 Speaker 1: story always go the story is gonna I mean, you 2519 01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,760 Speaker 1: want to get to the draft not having to take 2520 01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:02,720 Speaker 1: anybody or at any position, and that's you know, that's 2521 01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:06,640 Speaker 1: where the Bills seem to slowly be getting to. Yeah. Right, Uh, 2522 01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:10,200 Speaker 1: they just took an offensive too, offensive lineman, a center, 2523 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:14,480 Speaker 1: and a tackle, two wide receivers, a running back, a corner, 2524 01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:19,400 Speaker 1: and a tight end. Good grief. I mean that touches 2525 01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:22,040 Speaker 1: all the bases of need. So we'll you know, that's 2526 01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:24,440 Speaker 1: where they get to. By the time this week is over, 2527 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,240 Speaker 1: is still remains to be seen, but certainly there you 2528 01:57:27,320 --> 01:57:30,480 Speaker 1: got to be. It's it's nice when you can see 2529 01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:34,240 Speaker 1: a team make some moves that the fans, particularly the 2530 01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:36,200 Speaker 1: ones who have been watching listening to us, the fans 2531 01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:39,080 Speaker 1: are like, oh, yeah, exactly right, I get it.

Maybe it's all business like and you know, 2551 01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:28,160 Speaker 1: like an insurance office. I don't think I think it's 2552 01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,080 Speaker 1: a picture. It's like one of those old time things 2553 01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:31,960 Speaker 1: where you used to see the big businessman sitting on 2554 01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:34,840 Speaker 1: He's got like five phones and they all ringing at once. 2555 01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:36,560 Speaker 1: He's picking this one up, picking that one up, picking 2556 01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:38,800 Speaker 1: this one up. Yeah, yeah, that's what I wish we 2557 01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,960 Speaker 1: had a camera. Yeah, let's try for that. Yeah, you 2558 01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,640 Speaker 1: put that in there. Take a call here from Ralph 2559 01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:46,560 Speaker 1: on Long Island Hodo, Ralph, Welcome, you're on the air 2560 01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:50,600 Speaker 1: with us. Hey, Jens, how are you? Great coverage so far? 2561 01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:54,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm calling because I really really wanted 2562 01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 1: Golden Tate on this team. And the reason why because 2563 01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:03,800 Speaker 1: I think it's hatch ability or his range of catching 2564 01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:07,520 Speaker 1: the ball would pair well with Josh's how how hard 2565 01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:13,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen throws the ball obviously when I made that call, Uh, 2566 01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:16,920 Speaker 1: some things have changed it about all the while, so 2567 01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:21,879 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley kind of took that role. And I was wondering, 2568 01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,360 Speaker 1: if you think that now that they're settled that receiver, 2569 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:27,200 Speaker 1: are they going to completely abandon receiver in the draft 2570 01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:29,520 Speaker 1: or do you think they'll they'll go No, I don't 2571 01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:31,760 Speaker 1: think they'll completely abandon it. No. I just don't think 2572 01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,080 Speaker 1: they need to take a guy at nine. You know, 2573 01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they need to. They can, but I 2574 01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:41,440 Speaker 1: don't think they need to do that at the top ten. 2575 01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:44,040 Speaker 1: They may be able to do it. At thirty four. 2576 01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:47,320 Speaker 1: I believe they pick, uh, they pick the Bills pick 2577 01:59:47,760 --> 01:59:52,680 Speaker 1: at nine, they pick at forty, and they pick at 2578 01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:59,360 Speaker 1: seventy five. So you know, yeah, I don't think they 2579 01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:01,440 Speaker 1: go completely away from wide receiver in the draft. I've 2580 02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:04,880 Speaker 1: been reminded on Twitter, but you know, student people, they're 2581 02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:07,280 Speaker 1: not all jerks on Twitter who say that, Hey, John 2582 02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Brown as good as much as I like him, and 2583 02:00:09,480 --> 02:00:11,320 Speaker 1: I did, and I still I'm glad he's a Buffalo. 2584 02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Bill is not really a classic X receiver. You know, 2585 02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,240 Speaker 1: the size is in there, five eleven, one hundred eighty pounds. 2586 02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:20,120 Speaker 1: He's a speed guy. Maybe not the X receiver five eleven. 2587 02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:23,480 Speaker 1: It's not short, but it's not big. DK Metcalf, I'm 2588 02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:26,400 Speaker 1: back to that name, Steve. He might be, He might be. 2589 02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:28,080 Speaker 1: And look, I said it last week. They have six 2590 02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:30,720 Speaker 1: and a half weeks now, six weeks at least to 2591 02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:33,640 Speaker 1: figure out who he is. He might be. If he's 2592 02:00:33,680 --> 02:00:35,560 Speaker 1: as good as he looked last week at the combine, 2593 02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:39,320 Speaker 1: and if he has the right answers about his you know, 2594 02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:43,760 Speaker 1: kind of stilted production in college, including his injuries, then 2595 02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:46,080 Speaker 1: he might be. He might warrant the ninth overall pick, 2596 02:00:46,120 --> 02:00:49,240 Speaker 1: and he might be a prototype ninth or a prototype 2597 02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:51,800 Speaker 1: X receiver at number nine. I'm just not ruling that 2598 02:00:51,840 --> 02:00:54,480 Speaker 1: out yet. Is that okay? Yeah, I wouldn't rule it out. 2599 02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm not ruling it out here. Is anybody else in 2600 02:00:56,560 --> 02:00:58,640 Speaker 1: the draft who fits that profile? At night? Well, here's 2601 02:00:58,880 --> 02:01:02,680 Speaker 1: here's what I'm saying. I agree with you, no question, 2602 02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:04,720 Speaker 1: And like I told the caller, just now, you know, 2603 02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're off the board with wide receiver 2604 02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:11,720 Speaker 1: in the draft. What I do think now is that 2605 02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:15,320 Speaker 1: they are not sitting here with a paintbrush in their 2606 02:01:15,360 --> 02:01:17,560 Speaker 1: hands in a corner and knowing they painted themselves into 2607 02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:20,600 Speaker 1: a corner where they've got to pick the guy where 2608 02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:23,640 Speaker 1: they or somebody and if he goes If DK Metcalf's 2609 02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,320 Speaker 1: gone in the first round and all these other guys 2610 02:01:27,360 --> 02:01:29,360 Speaker 1: are gone less you get there and you think DK 2611 02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:32,680 Speaker 1: Metcalf is gone, Marquis Brown is gone, A J. Brown 2612 02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:34,920 Speaker 1: is gone, kel Kelvin Harmon has gone. These are all 2613 02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:39,760 Speaker 1: the top wide receivers rated in this in this draft. 2614 02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:41,920 Speaker 1: If all four of those guys are gone, now they 2615 02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:43,560 Speaker 1: still got They go all the way down and they 2616 02:01:43,640 --> 02:01:46,240 Speaker 1: get a guy, you know, the same thing. They get 2617 02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:47,920 Speaker 1: a guy that we've never heard of, all the way 2618 02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:51,760 Speaker 1: down to a guy like out of Florida, a fau 2619 02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:56,320 Speaker 1: Javon Duranty. We've never heard of him, right, six foot, 2620 02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:58,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five pounds, right, I mean, so 2621 02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you get down to an we've never heard of. Right, 2622 02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:04,840 Speaker 1: So they're not at that spot anymore. That's all I'm saying. 2623 02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:07,840 Speaker 1: Now DK Metcalf is there at nine and the bills 2624 02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:11,480 Speaker 1: of you know, they need him, they want him, take 2625 02:02:11,560 --> 02:02:14,520 Speaker 1: him if he's the guy, right, that's the that's where 2626 02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:17,400 Speaker 1: they're at now with these guys they've signed, They've got 2627 02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:20,440 Speaker 1: an offensive line that is much much better at least 2628 02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:23,440 Speaker 1: on paper than it has been, uh since the beginning 2629 02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:27,240 Speaker 1: of this last season. They've got a spot now where 2630 02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:30,320 Speaker 1: they can say, you know what, we're gonna take our 2631 02:02:30,400 --> 02:02:32,800 Speaker 1: number nine pick and wrap it around a number four 2632 02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,640 Speaker 1: and a number five pick that we have four of, 2633 02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:38,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna move up to number six and we're 2634 02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:43,160 Speaker 1: gonna get one of the top edge rushers in this draft. Okay, yeah, 2635 02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:45,120 Speaker 1: let's do that, you know, let's do that. And then 2636 02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:46,960 Speaker 1: the number when you get to number when you get 2637 02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:49,360 Speaker 1: to this, to that other guy, which the other draft 2638 02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:51,560 Speaker 1: pick that I say, what was what number? Number forty, 2639 02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and you can take another wide receiver, you can take 2640 02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:57,200 Speaker 1: one of the top five wide receivers or whatever. So yeah, 2641 02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't you're not. You don't have to take DK 2642 02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Metcalf at number nine. Now, you don't. Can you can 2643 02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:05,080 Speaker 1: if you want, that's fine, but you don't have to. 2644 02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:07,240 Speaker 1: We got six sweeks to figure out if you want them. 2645 02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:09,280 Speaker 1: And that's good. If you want to flip flop with 2646 02:03:09,320 --> 02:03:11,880 Speaker 1: another team and get another second rounder, I'll do that too, 2647 02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:14,320 Speaker 1: me too, me too. You know. So now at least 2648 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:18,720 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you know, it's like we got a 2649 02:03:18,720 --> 02:03:21,320 Speaker 1: lot of emergencies that have just been Yeah, we got 2650 02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:23,280 Speaker 1: a lot of fires we put out today. In my opinion, 2651 02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Bill's agree to terms with a couple of wide receivers, 2652 02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:29,920 Speaker 1: John Brown and Cold Beasley, and reportedly agreeing to terms 2653 02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:34,640 Speaker 1: with the offensive lineman Tie and Secki from Washington. An 2654 02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:37,000 Speaker 1: interesting tweet on the tweet sheet on Tay and Secki 2655 02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:39,840 Speaker 1: from Sam Monson, who's one of the experts at Pro 2656 02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:43,080 Speaker 1: Football Focus they do gratings of players. Sam Monson on 2657 02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:45,800 Speaker 1: Tay and Secki says, the Bills get maybe the best 2658 02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,200 Speaker 1: swing tackle in the game, Tay and Secki, and a 2659 02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:52,360 Speaker 1: capable starter in a pinch for basically capable starter in 2660 02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:54,400 Speaker 1: a pinch for basically the same money as Bobby Hart, 2661 02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:58,200 Speaker 1: a liability Bobby Hard who just resigned with Cincinnati. So 2662 02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:00,320 Speaker 1: that's good. And and you know, we talked to last 2663 02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:02,880 Speaker 1: week or two weeks ago to combine McDermott and being 2664 02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:06,240 Speaker 1: both mentioned how important versatility on the offensive line was 2665 02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:09,040 Speaker 1: important to them, and sam Monson telling us that ty 2666 02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:11,760 Speaker 1: and Seki is a swing tackle, maybe the best in 2667 02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:13,800 Speaker 1: the game. He says, it's one of those days today, 2668 02:04:13,920 --> 02:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Murph where everybody's getting jumping on. So we got another 2669 02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:19,840 Speaker 1: one from the tweet sheet from Nova Hustle at one 2670 02:04:19,920 --> 02:04:22,600 Speaker 1: Bill's Live and my Buffalo Bills as part of the 2671 02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:24,480 Speaker 1: He's part of the Bill's Mommy.

I wish I could take 2690 02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:20,920 Speaker 1: credit for it. I liked the John. I liked John Brown. 2691 02:05:20,960 --> 02:05:23,160 Speaker 1: I liked him. I liked him in his rookie year 2692 02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:24,880 Speaker 1: at Arizona. I was onto that guy. I talked to 2693 02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:27,160 Speaker 1: my friends and are as. I was saying, that guy's good, 2694 02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:30,600 Speaker 1: that guy's fast, that guy makes place. He exploded in 2695 02:05:30,720 --> 02:05:33,040 Speaker 1: his rookie year. It was so hilarious because early in 2696 02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:34,920 Speaker 1: the show it happened, came down over the over the 2697 02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:37,200 Speaker 1: wire that the Bills are going to sign John Brown 2698 02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:39,280 Speaker 1: to this deal, and Murph was talking about it, so 2699 02:05:39,400 --> 02:05:41,640 Speaker 1: he didn't see it, and I almost popped a vein. 2700 02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:43,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't say it. I was like cutting him off, 2701 02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:47,520 Speaker 1: trying to say, wait, stop, listen. It was your guy 2702 02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:49,520 Speaker 1: that they were signed, because you have been on that 2703 02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:53,400 Speaker 1: John Brown train from as soon as the season was 2704 02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:55,640 Speaker 1: over and we started talking about who they were gonna get, 2705 02:05:55,640 --> 02:05:59,320 Speaker 1: who's gonna be available. That was the first name out 2706 02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:01,840 Speaker 1: of your mouth. It was, wasn't it last Friday? I 2707 02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:03,640 Speaker 1: asked Greg. I think it was Greg, Maybe it was 2708 02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:05,560 Speaker 1: somebody else. We've had a lot of guests. I said, 2709 02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:07,720 Speaker 1: why isn't anybody talking about John Brown? Remember that I 2710 02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,920 Speaker 1: sounded pathetic, I did, Why didn't anybody talk about my 2711 02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:14,440 Speaker 1: friend John Brown? Somebody would mention it happen, and it happened. 2712 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:17,840 Speaker 1: I was really I mean, look, I wasn't rooting for 2713 02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:20,280 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, but you look at her. A slot receiver. 2714 02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:24,280 Speaker 1: You got him, a bonifid NFL productive veteran slot receiver. 2715 02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,160 Speaker 1: That guy will help Josh Allen immensely. I'm talking about 2716 02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:31,120 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley here so far, I think bar none for me. 2717 02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:33,760 Speaker 1: That is the highlight of the offseason thus far, that 2718 02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,760 Speaker 1: moment right there, no John Brown, them signing John Brown 2719 02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:40,040 Speaker 1: is and coming and finding out the way we did 2720 02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:42,800 Speaker 1: for me and you me looking at you, listening to 2721 02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:44,560 Speaker 1: you for like all these times.

All at 2725 02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:57,360 Speaker 1: you liked him. I'd liked him and his rookie I 2726 02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:58,880 Speaker 1: liked him last year, and the Bills talked him last 2727 02:06:58,920 --> 02:07:01,160 Speaker 1: year and he went to Baltimore instead, probably figuring what 2728 02:07:01,240 --> 02:07:03,000 Speaker 1: I got. Joe Flacco and I don't know who Buffalo's 2729 02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:07,440 Speaker 1: quarterback's gonna be. Yeah, and there's another another tweet coming in, 2730 02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:09,120 Speaker 1: and this is what we're talking about. Now. What does 2731 02:07:09,160 --> 02:07:12,040 Speaker 1: it do to to DK Metcalf, to all these guys. 2732 02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:14,400 Speaker 1: What if one of these guys, like this guy t J. 2733 02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:17,560 Speaker 1: Hockinson the tight end, comes to Buffalo at number nine 2734 02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:21,520 Speaker 1: in the draft? You get this guy who is this big, 2735 02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:24,920 Speaker 1: huge hoss of a tight end coming out of Iowa. 2736 02:07:25,160 --> 02:07:27,560 Speaker 1: They got two of them, by the way, Uh, what 2737 02:07:27,680 --> 02:07:29,960 Speaker 1: if the Bills get a chance to draft that kid? 2738 02:07:32,880 --> 02:07:35,920 Speaker 1: To me that, yeah, with the guys we've got, and 2739 02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,680 Speaker 1: maybe we do pass at nine. Okay, I wouldn't take 2740 02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:41,640 Speaker 1: it any of these tight ends at nine, but okay 2741 02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I could be talked into it later in the draft. Okay, yeah, 2742 02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:46,880 Speaker 1: all right, So but that's all on the table. It's 2743 02:07:47,040 --> 02:07:51,280 Speaker 1: it's it's starting to look much different than than it 2744 02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:55,320 Speaker 1: has h And there's the thing. He's the top rated 2745 02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:58,080 Speaker 1: tight end in this draft is TJ. Hockinson from Iowa, 2746 02:07:58,200 --> 02:08:00,160 Speaker 1: and right behind him is no offense from I had 2747 02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a great combine. I liked IRV Smith in Alabama, like 2748 02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:05,560 Speaker 1: Snappingship Pigree. Yeah, he's got a better pedigree. I mean, 2749 02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:08,760 Speaker 1: I was there. They've had some good players come out 2750 02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:10,879 Speaker 1: of Iowa. But you know, obviously you're talking about Alabama 2751 02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and IRV Smith, who's a junior. Noah fant as a junior. TJ. 2752 02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:19,120 Speaker 1: Hockinson is a sophomore who declared the redshirt sophomore is 2753 02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,240 Speaker 1: ready to come out in the draft and he's the 2754 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:23,960 Speaker 1: top rated guy. Hey, time for a little bit of 2755 02:08:24,080 --> 02:08:26,120 Speaker 1: NFL true and false. It is brought to you by 2756 02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's artist in chiefs Teddy Bridgewater getting 2757 02:08:29,760 --> 02:08:31,680 Speaker 1: close to the deal to stay with the New Orleans Saints. 2758 02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:34,760 Speaker 1: No agreement yet, the team is expected to resign him. 2759 02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:36,840 Speaker 1: And if I'll never reported it. Former first round pick 2760 02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:40,040 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater group bees back up with the Saints' past season, 2761 02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:43,040 Speaker 1: coming back from that devastating knee injury from twenty sixteen. 2762 02:08:43,080 --> 02:08:45,920 Speaker 1: He's twenty six years old at eleven wins five losses 2763 02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,280 Speaker 1: in a playoff appearance with the Vikings in his second 2764 02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:51,440 Speaker 1: year twenty fifteen, but he lost basically two full years 2765 02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,480 Speaker 1: with his left knee, so the question tour falls. Teddy 2766 02:08:54,480 --> 02:08:56,440 Speaker 1: Bridgewater made the right choice the same with the Saints 2767 02:08:57,520 --> 02:08:59,880 Speaker 1: I'll say true, I'd root for Teddy Bridgewater because he's 2768 02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:02,800 Speaker 1: addled back from a pretty serious knee injury. And yeah, 2769 02:09:02,840 --> 02:09:06,400 Speaker 1: it's a good situation. Drew Brees cannot play forever, and um, 2770 02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:08,800 Speaker 1: why not stay in a high powered offense with a 2771 02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:12,640 Speaker 1: good offensive coach and a competitive playoff caliber team. Yeah, 2772 02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:14,800 Speaker 1: I'd say good, good choice. Trump. Yeah, I have a 2773 02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:17,280 Speaker 1: hard time saying false to that as well. Teddy Bridgewater 2774 02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:19,040 Speaker 1: is a guy who's been in the league for a while, 2775 02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:22,000 Speaker 1: has gone climbed up the hardest of mountains to climb. 2776 02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean his knee, it wasn't just a knee injury. 2777 02:09:24,280 --> 02:09:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean it was devastating. It looked like for a moment, 2778 02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:29,400 Speaker 1: it was so catastrophic at the point that it happened, 2779 02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:31,160 Speaker 1: they thought he was gonna lose his leg. I mean 2780 02:09:31,240 --> 02:09:34,200 Speaker 1: that's where he was. It was bad. He battled back 2781 02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:37,520 Speaker 1: from it and has persevered. And now I think he 2782 02:09:37,600 --> 02:09:40,080 Speaker 1: got to give him credit for knowing and seeing the 2783 02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:42,160 Speaker 1: writing on the wall for his career what it should be, 2784 02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:44,440 Speaker 1: what he's gonna need to be successful and for him 2785 02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:48,080 Speaker 1: to stay in New Orleans. I think you're right. I 2786 02:09:48,160 --> 02:09:50,440 Speaker 1: think I think he is making the right decision. That's 2787 02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:54,360 Speaker 1: a Sean. Sean Payton is a great head coach, great 2788 02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:57,440 Speaker 1: offensive mind, and fort Teddy Bridgewater to stay there. I 2789 02:09:57,560 --> 02:10:00,200 Speaker 1: know he knows it's the best thing for him. So yeah, 2790 02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna say true as well. And second and 2791 02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:06,200 Speaker 1: last in the NFL. True or false, the reports are 2792 02:10:06,280 --> 02:10:08,400 Speaker 1: that Tyrod Taylor may be headed to the Miami Dolphins. 2793 02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:11,120 Speaker 1: He's a free agent. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a free agent. 2794 02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor will be a good fit in Miami. True 2795 02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:19,280 Speaker 1: or false. Look, Tyrode's a good player and makes it 2796 02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:23,120 Speaker 1: work wherever he goes. Steve, I will give a loopwarm true, 2797 02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:26,320 Speaker 1: just because I know how hard Tyrode will work and 2798 02:10:26,480 --> 02:10:28,960 Speaker 1: how well he'll be received by his teammates wherever he goes. 2799 02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:31,560 Speaker 1: But I don't hold up much hope for Tyrode in 2800 02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:35,040 Speaker 1: Miami or anybody else in Miami. Yeah, it's hard. It's 2801 02:10:35,080 --> 02:10:37,920 Speaker 1: a hard road to hoe in Miami right now. They 2802 02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,440 Speaker 1: don't have any weapons. I think I like Tyrod better 2803 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,920 Speaker 1: than I like Ryan Tannehill there for them, I'll say that, 2804 02:10:43,160 --> 02:10:46,440 Speaker 1: So I'll say true. He will give them a chance. 2805 02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:49,000 Speaker 1: In every game we've seen him, he's a competitor, He 2806 02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:54,520 Speaker 1: gives them something athletically. So I'll say true just for 2807 02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:56,120 Speaker 1: the fact that I don't know what other options they 2808 02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:58,080 Speaker 1: have other than Ryan Tannehill. And if if it's not 2809 02:10:58,200 --> 02:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Tanner, and if it is Ryan Tannehill, I like 2810 02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:02,640 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor better. Yeah, I'll say that. How about that? 2811 02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:05,879 Speaker 1: Mike Lay's free and see cheat sheet. Top two quarterbacks 2812 02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:10,640 Speaker 1: available right now. Ryan Fitzpatrick number one, Tyrod Taylor number two.

You guys have to understand how 2830 02:12:12,560 --> 02:12:15,760 Speaker 1: difficult it is to play center in an Andy Reid offense, 2831 02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:19,640 Speaker 1: and they're asked to do a lot. Any center in 2832 02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:23,200 Speaker 1: the NFL is, but especially in Andy Reid's offense, which 2833 02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:26,320 Speaker 1: is like taking series and differential equations in college. The 2834 02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:29,160 Speaker 1: other thing is required. You must be mobile. You've got 2835 02:12:29,240 --> 02:12:31,000 Speaker 1: to be an athlete.
