1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Maybe what's up everybody, and we'll solve it. Man. These

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: here good morning football headlines from NFL Network. Dendre Hoppy

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: and spent his initial seven years in the league as

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: a teammate of JJ Watt and Houston, so it really

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: should come as no surprise the Pro Bowl wide out

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: recruited Watt to quote finish what they started for. More

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: on this huge signing here's NFL networking Saturday. He and Rapport,

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: two weeks before creating to the Arizona Cardinals out of nowhere,

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: made what could be the biggest splash over the next month.

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, the several times Defensive Player of the Year,

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: one of the best players who has ever played on

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the defensive line in the NFL history, agrees to terms

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: on a two year, thirty one million dollars deal that

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: is twenty three million dollars guaranteed, probably more than most

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: people thought while would get. That is the value of

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, a big time leader in one of the

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: new faces of the Arizona Cardinals franchise. Of course, they

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: seem to come out of nowhere, but we should have

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: known it because Vans, who coach JJ Watton Houston, is

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. He was a big time part of

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: this process in trying to get JJ Watt two Arizona

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: and now Watton's going to play and basically the same

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: defense he did in Houston. Joined former teammate DeAndre Hopkins.

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Going to be a nice reunion there and gets to

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: play opposite Chandler Jones and what could be one of

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the best sack tandems in the NFL. Either way, JJ

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Watt now has a new home and the Arizona Cardinals

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: believe they got a lot better all right rat sheet

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: to complete twenty twenty one schedule. Who is going to

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: be released later this year, but we do know based

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: on the annual divisional rotation, the Cardinals and JJ Watt

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: play host of the Texans this upcoming season. Jj Watt

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: going for his revenge well chief star quarterback Packed from

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: My Homes, battled multiple injuries during Kansas City's playoff run,

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: but he will be ready for the start of trenning

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: camp this according to general manager Brett Veach. Each was

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: also as his philosophy on drafting defensive lineman when he

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: met with reporters yesterday. Remember PC he played Super Bowl

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: fifty five without both of their starting tackles. I think,

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, just the general football one on one is

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: get a quarterback and then built through the offensive defensive line.

42
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: At the same time, you know the reality of it is,

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: you know how the draft flows, and you know what's

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: available to you. You have to make, you know, certainly

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: good decisions and not overdraft or go in different directions.

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: So when you talk about just again that one on

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: one philosophy about once you secure quarterback you want to

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: build through the offensive lines, I certainly think you can

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: make a case for that on the defensive side and

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: continuing to throw money and resources on the defensive line

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: all right, looks like it'll be a focus on the

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: d line. Meanwhile, four more Chiefs and current Washington quarterback

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Alex Smith won the twenty twenty Comeback Play of the

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Year last month, but it appears that he won't be

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: returning to the nation's capital. According to NFL Networks Kim

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Jones and Ian Rappaport, Washington has expected part ways with

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback in the coming days. Smith went five and

58
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: one for the NFC East champs this past season, and
