Your phone buzzes with a blockbuster NFL alert. You start imagining the perfect fit. Then the entire move disappears.

That is the story of the latest episode of Missing the Point as we break down the chaos of NFL Free Agency 2026. The conversation starts with the stunning Maxx Crosby trade that was rescinded after a failed physical. What actually happened behind the scenes? How much do medicals really matter in massive deals like this? And can teams hide buyer’s remorse by quickly pivoting to alternatives like Trey Hendrickson?

From there we step back and look at the bigger trend shaping the entire offseason. The rising NFL salary cap is pushing contract expectations to new levels. When players like Alec Pierce start receiving deals that resemble top wide receiver money, the real question becomes clear. Are teams paying for proven production, projected upside, or pure panic during free agency?

We also break down the ripple effects across the league. The Raiders built their offseason around moving Crosby. What happens when that plan suddenly collapses? Which teams benefit from the chaos and which ones get stuck reacting?

The episode covers several of the biggest storylines around the NFL:

• Mike Evans joining the San Francisco 49ers and how it impacts Brock Purdy

• The Los Angeles Rams loading up for what could be one final championship push

• The Kansas City Chiefs adding Kenneth Walker III as they try to build a more dominant run game

• The Buffalo Bills trading for DJ Moore while operating under intense Super Bowl expectations

• The Dallas Cowboys once again stuck between big expectations and frustrating results

• The New England Patriots still searching for a true WR1 and why the A.J. Brown trade speculation refuses to disappear

• New reports about Tom Brady’s ownership ambitions and why Patriots fans are reacting strongly

If you enjoy smart NFL analysis, strong opinions, and real debate about the biggest moves shaping the league, this episode is for you.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.119
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Missing the Point.

00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:15.599
I am Michael Marcangelo, joined alongside by my OG guy, the real VK Bob Kelly.

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.559
We are in the throes of NFL Free Agency 2026.

00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.760
And as usual, it has not disappointed, unless you know you're a Patriot fan.

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.879
But Bobby, like what are what are some of your big takeaways so far?

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.440
Like just reactions based on what we've seen.

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.600
So I mean, obviously the biggest the biggest thing.

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.640
So there's a couple different big takeaways for me.

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.920
Obviously, the big the big thing that just came down yesterday is the Crosby trade being rescinded, which which is absolutely insane.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.280
I've never seen anything like it.

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:59.119
I can't tell if it's a Tesla Checkers met move by the Ravens realizing that he'd get Trey Hendrickson for cheaper and for giving up less picks.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.679
So I'm not sure exactly if maybe they're kind of pulling a fast one on the league.

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.680
I think that's that's definitely something to look into for the entire league.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:08.799
I think that's crazy.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:23.359
The other thing to me that I took away, man, is the fact that Alec Pierce is now a top 12 paid wide receiver in the NFL.

00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:30.640
This man is now making more money than the likes of Chris Godwin, than the likes of George Pickens, than the likes.

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.040
There's the names that this man is making more money now is just absolutely absurd.

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:43.599
And that that goes to for a few guys across the league that broke the bank this past couple of days, man.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.200
The the amount of average players that are now making$30,$40 million a year is absolutely insane in the NFL.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.560
I don't know what's happening, but yeah, it's it was a crazy couple for sure.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:59.920
Well, yeah, I mean I think that's just a byproduct of you know the seller cap going up and they expect it to continue to go up because revenues are gonna keep going up for the NFL.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:10.479
But in no way, shape, or form is Alec Pierce a four-year$116 million wide receiver.

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:15.599
I mean, unless I'm missing something, and I could be missing the point, see what I did there.

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:24.400
But he's never he's never been a number one, and he's gonna have to be this year because Indy just traded Michael Pittman to to Pittsburgh.

00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.599
So I don't I don't understand it at all, man.

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:35.759
Yeah, and what was crazy too is like the that was the talk coming into like the I think I think me and you had this conversation.

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:46.800
You're coming into the free agency period, man, where it was like he was being ranked as the top wide receiver available on the board, on like everyone's free agency board.

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.120
And like I thought it was fucking crazy.

00:02:49.360 --> 00:03:01.680
But apparently the rest the rest of the NFL and the Colts specifically valued him in that way because I mean, unless unless they were just bidding against themselves, which is fucking insane.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:10.080
But this team literally took a dude that had never had a thousand, had one thousand yard season, it was what by seven yards, I think, last year.

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.039
One one thousand yard season, made him a top 12 wide receiver, and traded fucking Pittman.

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.159
That's what I didn't get.

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.599
They really took everything anyone behind Alec Pierce, man.

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:20.000
I don't know.

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.759
It doesn't make sense to me as well.

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.719
Yeah, so let's talk about the the Max Crosby deal.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:35.039
So obviously, like all of our all of our uh phones went off when we got the alert that said Max Crosby was gonna be traded uh from the Raiders to the Ravens for two first-round picks.

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:42.400
Now, we all know Max, you know, Crosby had surgery at the end of December on his left knee.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.479
He played the majority of the season hurt.

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:56.400
To think that he would pass a physical three months after surgery and one week after being removed uh off our crutches is ridiculous.

00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:04.560
So I just don't I mean, I guess any team can pull out of any deal at any time if you know before a certain deadline.

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.080
But what were they doing?

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.680
Because now like the Ravens are trying to come out and say, like they did come out looking good because they got Trey Hendrickson, yes.

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.959
But before that deal happened, we were all talking like in the group chat about how bad they look.

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.560
It's like what what type of research didn't you do?

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.160
Or did you just get gun shy with the two first round picks?

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.959
I think that's what happened personally.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:36.560
I think they saw the opportunity to get someone of equal value without giving up those two first-round picks, and plus Trey Hendricks is cheaper on an annual salary, too.

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.879
So I think I think they saw a way to get out of it, and they took that route 100%.

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:42.240
That's what I think happened.

00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:50.160
Yeah, what I think would you say would would you say like it falls equal if they're both healthy?

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.720
I think a healthy Max Crosby is on another level than Trey Hendrickson.

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.759
And I think Hendrickson's great, trust me, I want him and the Patriots.

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:04.240
But I and now the the Ravens are coming out saying that that they were in talks to have both of them.

00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.600
It's like, bro.

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.920
We know that that was not going to happen.

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.199
Like, what are you doing?

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:20.000
And are you are you now saying that you're gonna spend all of your money on defense because you don't think that spending it on offense has worked out for you over the last couple of years?

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.600
Like, what's what's the game plan?

00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.639
Yeah, I don't know.

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.360
I it it was definitely it's a weird turn of events.

00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:40.000
And it honestly kind of feels like everyone's fucking over the raiders all over again because you look at what happened to them, man, and it's it's they they're fucked now.

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:55.199
I don't know, I don't know what they're gonna do with Crosby and now all these free agent signings, free agent signings they made, like they obviously made these signings with the impression that they had the cap space of dealing Crosby.

00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:03.680
So now all of a sudden you have this catch 22 of like you signed all these guys, and now you have Crosby who you traded coming back in, and like that's always an awkward situation.

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.639
So I don't know, man.

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.879
It's it's it's such a fucked up situation.

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.639
I've I've never seen anything like it in all many years of watching games.

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.079
It's insane.

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.759
What what do you think happens with to Crosby now?

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.279
Is my is my biggest question.

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:23.360
It's like I think his his his his values are obviously not too fresh around picks anymore, right?

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.000
Right.

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.120
Yeah, obviously.

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:35.439
And the report, and the report out of I don't know if it was Rossini or or one of the beat writers for the NFL that the Patriots were in on Max Crosby and they were offering a pretty high value.

00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.879
And Brady said no, uh gave basically gave the nod that he's not going to do anything to benefit his old franchise.

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.519
So let me just sidebar here real quick.

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.360
I love Tom Brady.

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.959
I'll always love him for what he did as a as a player for the Newland Patriots.

00:06:51.120 --> 00:07:01.199
We put a fucking statue outside of Gillette Stadium, but in the last six weeks, he's come out and said that he didn't have a fucking horse in the race of a Super Bowl where his former team was playing in.

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.759
And now there are reports that said that he's gonna go out of his way to make sure that he doesn't help.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:16.240
Like, could could you write a manual on how to destroy your favorability with the fan base better than what Tom's doing over the last six weeks?

00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.800
No, no, it's unbelievable.

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.480
I I saw those reports too.

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:32.480
And it's it's unprecedented to see a guy that that that has that kind of stature in the city just completely that that's twice in six.

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.920
That's like you said that's twice in six weeks that this man has done this.

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.680
What was what was your what was your takeaway from it?

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.560
What do you do you think he's doing it on purpose?

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.040
Just to fucking know.

00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.279
He never did anything to help the Jets while he was while he was here.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.639
He never did anything to help literally anyone in the conference.

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:13.199
He traded Jimmy Garoppolo to the fucking 49ers for a bag of balls when he probably could have gotten a second-round pick from somewhere else, but he just didn't want to look.

00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:28.079
So yeah, listen, business is business, but for a minor a minority owner uh of the Raiders, but by the way, a franchise that Tom Brady fucking decimated 20 years ago.

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.320
For for you to say now, you know what I'm you know what we're gonna do?

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.840
We're not just gonna play hardball with the Patriots.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.519
We're basically just gonna piss all over their their pla uh you know their fans and and not offer them anything.

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.559
I think it's stupid.

00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:43.840
I think it's real dumb.

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:55.519
Because now, to your point, the Raiders made, I don't know,$260 million worth of signings with the assumption that they get a big contract off their books.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.559
So now they have to.

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.840
By June 1st, they're gonna have to get Crosby off the books, and they're not gonna get two first rounds.

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.000
So, like, what do you do?

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.840
Like, is it a first and a third?

00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.159
Is it even a first anymore?

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.440
I mean, I think it's gotta be at least first.

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:19.360
I mean, and yeah, and the thing is, is like you made these signings too with addition their additions to the defense mainly.

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:26.480
Like uh you have Nikobi Dean, you have Quaid Walker, you have Kwodi Paye.

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.720
Like these are all guys that you brought in specifically to replace Crosby.

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:36.399
So it's not like you have any chance of bringing him back and trying to work him back into this fold.

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.600
Like you have to train him.

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.120
Your hand is forced at this point.

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.159
So I think you're so lucky if you even get a first-round pick at this point, right?

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:51.679
And it's just another it's another example of the league fucking over the Raiders because is there any other team in the league that you think this would happen to?

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:52.879
There isn't, right?

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.759
It's only the Raiders.

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:54.480
That's it.

00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:55.440
Only the Raiders.

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.360
Oh, I mean, the think about it.

00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.320
They they knew the guy, they knew he just had we all knew he just had fucking knee surgery.

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:10.639
I mean, when Micah was traded to the to the Packers, he's coming off of the uh one of the same kind of injuries, and they waited till later.

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:19.440
I don't even think like I don't I don't even think Micah passed uh physical, but the Packers still knew what they were getting with him, right?

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.320
Like either you believe in the player or you don't.

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.399
And what this reeks of to me is that they didn't believe that what they were getting was worth two first-round picks, and that's just it.

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.080
And they pussed out.

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.600
Yeah, agreed, agreed.

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.120
Other big signings.

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.360
I mean, Mike Evans to the 49ers.

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.799
That's wild.

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.159
Yeah, I like that.

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.279
I it's a little to be honest, like my least out of everywhere that he could have gone.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.279
I kind of wish he went to the Packs.

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.120
I kind of wish he went back to Tampa.

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.200
But I mean, San Francisco's nice for him.

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:58.399
He's obviously gonna be the one there now, and it gives Purdy, you know, it gives Purdy a real target that he hasn't had before.

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.039
I mean, at this point, who's the best person that Purdy spoke to?

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.080
Iuk right Debo.

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.279
Debo, right?

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.320
Iuk and Debo.

00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.240
So well, I mean, I signed George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey.

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.360
Like we're or just wide receiver.

00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.639
Yeah, wide receiver, wide receiver-wise, right, wide receiver-wise.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:21.120
So it definitely gives them a real a real target there, if he can stay healthy, at least.

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.720
I mean, this is last season was the first year that he did not put up a thousand yards receiving.

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.360
So out of his 12-year career, I would I would say that it was an anomaly.

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.200
Now he is getting older.

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.799
But for him, you I you just need honestly, you need 13 games a season out of him.

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:49.039
And if it if he gives you what he gave down in Tampa, or even if he gives you like 75 catches for 900 yards and like six touchdowns, that's a win.

00:11:49.200 --> 00:12:00.000
Because now you're taking now you actually have a tall receiving threat in the red zone, aside from George Kittle, who's also coming off a catastrophic surgery.

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:00.720
Right.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.440
The entire goddamn Fortnite team is coming off catastrophic injury.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.759
He's been that way for like four years.

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.320
But yeah, no, I I really like the signing.

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.559
I think he's gonna I think he's gonna fit in San Francisco perfectly 100%.

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.720
Let's talk about a team that I think is kind of showing that they're going all in again.

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.480
And it's the Rams.

00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:29.600
I mean, you trade with uh Kansas City for Trent McDuffie, and then you sign to a four-year,$124 million deal.

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:45.039
You got Jalen Watson, you got Joe Cardano for whatever that's worth, and you're keeping your your team of with Devante, with oh god, uh, with Puka, Matt Stafford's coming back.

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.519
I mean, so this is this looks to me like this is their last run.

00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.559
Like this is it.

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:57.279
Yeah, I I think it's awesome that they literally took so they they transfer McGuffey right, they paid him.

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.360
And then they're like, all right, all right.

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.240
What what worked around the league the past couple years?

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.120
All right, you know what?

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.120
Kansas City secondary's been really good.

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.159
All right, let's literally, let's literally just take the entire Kansas City secondary.

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.639
We'll put it in our secondary now.

00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.879
And they paid them both too, which is awesome.

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:24.559
Yeah, I mean, I I I think it's clear that this is this is you know, all hands on deck for the Rams moving forward.

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:34.559
You know, I wouldn't be surprised to see them make another big move on offense to bring another weapon in because this is clearly, clearly going all in for the Rams.

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:39.519
It's it's it's gonna be a good year for next year for the Rams for sure.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.200
What about the team that they traded with?

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.960
Kansas City signed Kenneth Walker, three years up to$45 million, 20 almost 29 guaranteed.

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:51.600
They got Tonga from the Pats and Aloe Gilman, the safety.

00:13:52.080 --> 00:14:07.679
Do you think that they've done enough to shore up their offense now that I mean Kelsey's coming back, but we've seen his hit him kind of deteriorate over the last couple of years, although he still had the third most receiving yards for a tight end last year.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.480
And like, does Mahomes play a full year?

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.720
Do they have enough to make a run?

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:22.639
Yeah, I mean, listen, I think the only thing that could have possibly brought them back to prominence next year is an elite running game.

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:23.440
You know what I mean?

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:29.360
I I don't I think the days of the high-flying passing attack in Kansas City are a thing of the past.

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:34.639
I just think that you know what I mean, the way the NFL is set up right now, with Mahomes coming back from injury.

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.720
I just think unless Tyree comes back.

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.440
Well, I mean, again, but he's also coming back from another catastrophic injury.

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.360
But yeah, I mean, I I I think it's a great move for them.

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.600
I think it's a great move getting Ken Walker, man.

00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:52.559
I think it it was very clear that Seattle didn't value him the way that he should have been valued.

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.759
It took Charbonnet getting hurt for them finally to give him 20 carries a game.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:05.840
He showed he could obviously do that, and then when it came time for the the contract negotiation at the parade, they called him out for it.

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.480
He's like, all right, bro, it's time for him to move on.

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.360
So I love the move for Kansas City, love the move for Ken Walker.

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.279
I hate the move for the rest of the NFL.

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.000
I'm not gonna lie.

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.200
It just pisses me off.

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.720
It's like you think it's a good thing.

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.480
You couldn't have gone anywhere else, bro.

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:23.200
Yeah, I yeah, I think I think I think bringing him in is a big difference for them.

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:23.679
For sure.

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.679
I mean, what have they been missing for years?

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.600
That's what they've been missing, is an all-pro actual running game.

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.559
You know what I mean?

00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:38.879
What they've had so they brought in a guy that kind of has the same prototype in Kareem Hunt over and over and over again.

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.200
A guy that they can just hand the rock to.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.159
He just puts his head down and he just runs straight ahead.

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:50.639
And now they have a guy that actually can do that, and he's talented, much more talented than Kareem Hunt ever was, or ever will be.

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.559
So, yeah, I think I think it's exactly what they want moving forward.

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.159
And I think it's gonna make big difference for them actually, for sure.

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:13.440
Let's go to your team, Bobby, because uh, I don't know if you're as disappointed as I am in mine, but all right, so the Dallas Cowboys signed Jalen Thompson, signed safety, PJ Locke, signed defensive tackle, not gonna even do that.

00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.639
They gotta back up QB, and then they traded for Rashawn Gary.

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:24.639
They also are obviously keeping Pickens, Sam Williams, Josh Butler, Brandon Aubrey.

00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:26.720
How do you feel?

00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.720
So I like Jalen Thompson.

00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.559
I like picking up the safeties, and obviously, secondary was a big, big, big hole for us.

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.519
It just kind of seems like the same shit every year, though.

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.399
You know what I mean?

00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:51.919
Like, it seems like they're kind of like, oh, we got Rashawn Gary, oh, we did this, so but it's like, bro, two weeks ago, Jerry Jones was saying how they were gonna break the bank on free agency.

00:16:52.240 --> 00:17:03.519
And now here we go all over again, seeing the rest of the league sign all these high-profile guys, and your biggest signing is a safety that you know is good.

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.960
You know, Thompson's good, don't get me wrong, but he's not at all pro.

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:13.680
He's not, he's not gonna, he's not gonna break the he's not gonna, you know, take your defense to the next level.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.480
And that's that's what your baby signing is.

00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:21.519
Rashawn Gary's good, but he's been underperforming and underwhelming for years.

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:30.160
So that's just the same kind of guy that you love bringing in year after year and love sprinkling in front of our nose, being like, oh, the promise.

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.240
Well, you know what I mean, the potential.

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.880
I love the addition to the D-line, though.

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.839
Not gonna lie.

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:42.400
With Williams, with Kenny Clark, and now with Rashawn Gary, I think that's a very formidable in front.

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:42.960
You know what I mean?

00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.160
Teams are gonna have a lot of trouble running the ball on us next year.

00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.680
So I do think it's the moves in the right direction.

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.359
I just need, I want to bow factor, man.

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.960
I just for once I wanted, I wanted that Max Crosby dealer.

00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:10.880
I wanted Trey Hendrickson, and I wanted that Ed Rusher to come in and actually be be the cornerpiece of the defense and and show that like we're actually building behind this all-pro offense and prolific offense that we had last year.

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:11.759
You know what I mean?

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.680
Like, I just I just feel like they they need they needed to do something a little more.

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.720
I just needed more from.

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.640
Listen, I'm with you.

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.160
Jerry does tend to disappoint in free agency.

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.079
However, every year, he drafts really well.

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.279
Like you're like, you want that big Max Crosby signing?

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:30.880
He drafted Micah Parsons.

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.200
Like, he there has not been a need.

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.960
Think about this, and I'm not a big Jerry Jones fan, you know this.

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.400
And I like to shit on you about the cowboy about your cowboys fandom.

00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.960
When's the last time the Cowboys had a had a glaring need that he did not address in a in the draft?

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.000
Yeah, that's sure.

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.960
I mean, he so the thing is, is it's not usually yeah, you're right.

00:18:59.119 --> 00:18:59.599
You're right.

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:06.960
Year in and year out, he does draft for need, and he does usually pass on the flashy guy.

00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.440
However, from what I've been told, it's not usually Jerry.

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.759
But it is, it is, it is, I I do have who's who's resource.

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.000
The word around the league is that it's usually Steven Jones or like someone else is talking Jerry off the ledge.

00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.240
I know he wanted to draft Johnny Manzel when it came down to that year.

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.359
And and they had to stop him from turning in the card.

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.519
So it would have been Johnny and fucking Dez Bryant.

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.799
That would have been wild.

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.319
Yeah, that would have been fun.

00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:41.279
It would have been a fun team.

00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.960
You guys need to you guys needed to replace Dez, and didn't you draft C D Lamb?

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.799
Yes, yes, we did.

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.559
Okay, okay.

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.920
So, like you're fine.

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.960
You're fine.

00:19:51.200 --> 00:20:06.160
At least you're not in a division, or you're not the Patriots, and you you look over and you see the Buffalo Bills trade for DJ Moore, pay Bradley Chubb, get D Alford, and retain Dawson Knox and their their center and their punter and their other offensive linemen.

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.119
Like the Bills.

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.359
Say what you want about DJ Moore.

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.640
He's the best receiver that they've had since Stephon Diggs.

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:20.480
And he'll do just fine with Josh Allen.

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:30.640
Now, the thing I am curious about is how much I mean DJ can play in cold weather when he played in Chicago, and he obviously loves.

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:35.920
I mean, he he caught the game-winning like fucking Hail Mary pass from from Caleb.

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.839
So he loves multiple quarterbacks.

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:43.680
Like it, but can he be a true number one again?

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.880
Because I don't you think he's gonna have to be uh in Buffalo?

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:56.640
I mean, I necessarily think so, but just because Josh Allen has gotten by without one in the past, especially last year.

00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.440
So I think he just comes in and his head coach got fired for not getting by anymore.

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.039
I mean, that's fair.

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.559
But I I just I don't think the pressure's on him to be number one, though.

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.839
I mean, I think I think it's more of like a one-on-one with him and shakir.

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.279
I think it's gonna I think he's gonna do well in Buffalo.

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:13.680
I do.

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.519
I think he's perfect for what they want.

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.960
We've seen what Alan does when he gets someone that he actually trusts and can stress the field to.

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.079
He was he was unbelievable when he had Diggs.

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.279
When when they were actually hooking up and on the same page.

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:34.640
Obviously, they had their issues at the end there, but like the that year and a half when when it was the Alan Diggs connection, man, that was top notch.

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.359
You know what I mean?

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.440
So I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be great.

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:39.759
Um was it only was it only a year and a half?

00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:41.039
That can't be true.

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.559
Two years.

00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.359
Might have been longer than that.

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.680
I think it was definitely longer than the year and a half.

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.799
It's like, wait a minute.

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.559
I feel like Stefan Diggs is haunting the city.

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.319
When they're at the peak of their powers, though.

00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:05.119
Sidebar, real quick, seeing as we're talking about the Bills, and we haven't really talked about You know, the firing and now the the hiring and the promotion of the offensive coordinator?

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.319
Let me just ask a real question, and we'll then we'll get back to free agency.

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:28.160
If you fire a guy for not being able to get to the Super Bowl and for consistently getting to AFC title games or like the divisional game and losing, is this season a one and done season for the new head coach if he doesn't make it to the Super Bowl?

00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.480
The tough situation to come into if you're a new head coach, for sure.

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:34.960
100%.

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.960
It seems like an unwinnable situation.

00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:38.640
It might be, man.

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.519
It might be.

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:46.559
Because obviously they're giving him the pieces to to go get that trophy.

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.319
They're giving him the pieces to do this.

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.759
So I think so.

00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:50.160
Yeah.

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.839
Would would it be for you?

00:22:54.319 --> 00:23:04.000
I mean, if you fire Sean McDermott for winning almost a hundred games in what, seven years?

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.039
Nine years?

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:06.400
Seven or nine years?

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:23.519
With and then consistently getting deep into the playoffs, and you say that you did it because you know he couldn't get to the Super Bowl, aren't you then telling the rest of the league that and whoever you're hiring next, like if you don't get to the Super Bowl, you're fired?

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:28.400
Because what why wouldn't I have just why wouldn't I have just kept McDermott?

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.559
That's why I don't understand.

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:42.880
If you said, hey, listen, it's just not the offensive scheming, he doesn't have the control of the locker room, but the fact that the owner got on the microphone in the podium, which he was honest, which we now know this is why the owner shouldn't speak.

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:52.799
He was like, I walk, I walked into the locker room and I just I saw everyone upset, and you know, Josh is blaming himself, and it wasn't Josh's fault.

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.000
Like he should be he should be a Super Bowl quarterback.

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.920
So now you're telling the new person, is it Kevin Brady, Kyle Brady?

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.039
It's a Brady.

00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:02.640
Right, yeah, Kyle Brady.

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.759
I think it's Kyle Brady.

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.400
That it's Super Bowl or bust.

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.599
It has to be now.

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.480
Yeah, yeah.

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.039
It is.

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:17.359
I mean, it would be when you have a quarterback like Josh Allen, it it has to be.

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.000
You know, I mean, that's why, I mean, that's why McDermott got fired.

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.880
It's such a tough situation to come into as a first-year head coach, man.

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.000
It really is.

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.720
And I think that's why in the end, it's harder than to f to hire internally.

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:33.839
Because then it really is, you know, if they do fail in the right, same offense.

00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:40.240
And if they do have to fire them, it it's it's a hard reset after this year, I guess.

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.039
So we'll see.

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.000
It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting, but they're obviously going all in, man.

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.400
Obviously, yeah, we're adding to that offense.

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:46.880
It's big.

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.559
That's a big sighting for them.

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.920
I'm just I'm going kind of alphabetically here over teams that I really care about.

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.200
I'm not gonna go through every single team.

00:24:53.279 --> 00:25:06.640
I think the next team that I think surprised a lot of people by the fight that they put up against the the Rams in the playoffs is the Carolina Panthers signing Jalen Phillips, four years 120 million, Devin Lloyd, three years 45 million.

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.079
I mean, he'll play.

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:13.119
John Mechie signed a one-year deal, and they retained you know a lot of their guys.

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:21.839
So do you think those moves in and of itself are enough to make sure that the NFC South still runs through Carolina?

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.000
You know, what's so funny is I thought of you and I saw that jump a few times.

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.519
It came across my phone.

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.119
I was like, yeah, no fun.

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.480
I think it it's huge for them, and Carolina was obviously one of the most upcoming teams last year.

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:39.519
They have a great offense if Bryce Young can show up.

00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.680
You know, with Tet with who's there, who's gonna be their starting running back?

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.119
Because Rico's not there anymore.

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.680
Is it gonna be Oh Chuba again?

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.720
Yeah, Chuba again.

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.240
Yeah, go back to Chuba.

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.799
And then now you have these two linebacker ed rushers coming in, man.

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.720
I it's it's it's solid there.

00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.200
Dan Morgan definitely knows what he's doing in Carolina.

00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.680
It's definitely for sure, for sure.

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:20.319
DK's Chicago Bears signed Kobe Bryant, Devin Bush, Neville Gallimore, Neville Gallimore, Khalif Raymond, Cam Lewis, and you know, they traded for Garrett Bradbury, which I thought I thought that was that that that's a great deal.

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.519
And they retained Braxton Jones, DeMarco Jackson.

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.960
So obviously they lose DJ.

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.400
Did they do enough to shure up the defense, which was a problem down the stretch?

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.880
Again, for a team that went further than most people, even DK anticipated.

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.880
Do you think that they did enough?

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.519
I think they had a so I think the start of free agency was really tough for them.

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:45.039
They obviously lost DJ Moore.

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.240
Uh, they they did get a good return for him getting a second-round pick back for him.

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.720
Uh, I think that was huge, especially with his salary.

00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.880
And then they lost Dahlman, their all-pro center, which was really tough.

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:56.640
He just retired randomly.

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:58.960
He's like 27 years old, and he decided to retire.

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:00.000
He's crazy.

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.000
But they did replace him.

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.000
I forget exactly who they got, but they traded like a fifth-round pick for another center.

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:09.039
It was against the guy from the Pats, Bradbury, right?

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:11.519
Was he from the Pats?

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.640
Yeah.

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.279
Right?

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:13.680
Yeah.

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.160
Yeah.

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.559
Yeah.

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.759
So I think that's a good one.

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.799
We have so many offensive linemen to spare.

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.319
We should just keep trying fucking trading them.

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.200
It's great.

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.160
I had a great feeling.

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.359
No, I think it was it was it was really good, man.

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.880
I've seen a lot of it.

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.440
Have you seen the chirps around the league that people don't want to play with Caleb?

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.920
And that's why DJ Moore wanted to get out of there.

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.960
And I don't know.

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:44.400
See, I've I saw a couple things, and I was I want to get DK's opinion, but I want to I want to know if he saw it.

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:54.319
Well, I just think, listen, you got Adunza, you got two tight ends, you got the kid that I wanted from the zoo.

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.480
Like their offense is fine.

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.039
Yeah.

00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:59.119
They're not gonna miss DJ Moore at all.

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:04.400
I I do think they did a good amount to show up that defense, so very intrigued to get DK's thoughts on it.

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:06.400
But I do like the Kobe Bryant signing.

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.279
That's funny, is it is that they just had time with Kobe Bryant.

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:11.119
As soon as I saw it, I was like, hey, what's up?

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.359
Let's get a rank this wit about him.

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:16.079
You know, it was good.

00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:16.720
It was good.

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.799
Yeah, Denver Broncos have signed nobody.

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.279
I was gonna say, I didn't see the name.

00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:25.680
I wasn't very intrigued to who you were about to say.

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:34.960
The Detroit Lions, Kane Mays, is it Rocky Sin, Teddy Bridgewater, Isaiah Pacheco, Larry Bloom.

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.359
Teddy Bridgewater, no shit.

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.960
Yeah, I mean nothing to write home about there, right?

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.400
I mean, is there anyone that is in that?

00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.039
Well, I think the swap of Montgomery for Pacheco is interesting.

00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:50.000
Yeah.

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.440
I don't know.

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:54.160
It's weird.

00:28:54.400 --> 00:29:00.240
It's because Pacheco is a lot more like Gibbs than he is Montgomery, you know what I mean?

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.000
So that's definitely a weird switch up.

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:05.599
I I think it still shows that Gibbs is gonna be the one next year.

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:08.000
I think Gibbs' not gonna be, you know what I mean?

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.799
It's not gonna be a Montgomery Gibbs split like it was last year.

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.000
Like I think it's gonna be Gibbs is the clear one, and then Pacheco is the backup.

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:24.079
And it's the same type of running style, same type of running plays that they're gonna run for Gibbs than they did for Pacheco.

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.839
I don't know if they're gonna run that straight line game anymore.

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.480
You know what I mean?

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:32.640
They're not gonna have that up the gut runs like they did with Montgomery.

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.599
The Dolphins are in full take mode.

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:43.200
They signed Malik Willis three years, 67.5 million dollars with 45 guarantees.

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:51.680
I mean, I guess for a quarterback, it's a low-end contract.

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.559
You know what I mean?

00:29:52.880 --> 00:30:03.680
I guess you didn't break the bank from Malik Willis, but this the swap two from Malik Willis just seems like like, what the fuck are you doing, man?

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.680
They got what they got rid of they got rid of Tyreek.

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:13.279
Word on the street is they might end up trading Waddle, they got rid of Fitzpatrick.

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:19.680
It just seems like obviously the uh it's time they're burning everything up in Miami.

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.960
It's time, it's it they're playing for next year already.

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:24.960
Can I tell you something that scares me?

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:29.200
Because I don't think that the dolphins would ever trade Waddle to the Patriots.

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:36.000
I don't know why this is in my head, but I just see Kansas City offering a first for Jalen Waddle.

00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.759
And I think that Jalen Waddell on the Chiefs.

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:45.599
Now that's that's a very interesting offensive offensive team.

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.920
Now you get Kenneth Walker, Mahomes, Waddle.

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.920
You still have Rice, Kelsey.

00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.440
I think I just have it in my head that he's going there.

00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:00.559
I hope I'm wrong.

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.160
I have not heard it anywhere either.

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.160
So if it happens, you're fucking welcome.

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.000
But I just feel like that could be very interesting.

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.359
We we just put it into the universe, and that happened because of us.

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.640
That'd be crazy.

00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:11.680
That'd be crazy.

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:17.279
I I I like the Tyreek to Kansas City series, I think that would make a lot of sense for sure.

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.119
Waddle Waddle to Kansas City would would break break the NFL.

00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.960
Uh no one would know what the fuck to do.

00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:24.240
Like, not not a chance, bro.

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:30.079
Well, you're probably never gonna get Kansas City with a this low of a draft pick for uh quite a while.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.480
So like you could trade Waddle for a first and it would be the 12th overall pick.

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.799
Or you just say worth it.

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.640
I don't I don't know if Waddle would be worth.

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:41.039
I feel like I'd rather the 12th overall pick than Waddle.

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.720
Was it so you're gonna bet on a guy from Ohio State?

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.319
Or Jalen wasn't Jalen Waddle the nine?

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:50.400
I think it was like nine, yeah.

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:51.680
It sounds about right.

00:31:52.960 --> 00:32:01.200
And on a team where Alabama on a team with fucking two as your quarterback, I mean, no one's gonna look like number one first round pick.

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:03.920
Alphabetical order, it just so happens.

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:10.720
The New England Patriots, okay, so they sign Romeo Dobbs, four years,$68 million up to up to 80 million.

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:11.759
That's fucking wild.

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:16.640
They they sign AVT three for 42.

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:22.480
The problem with Tucker, Vera Tucker is he's only played, I think, what, is it 45 games in three years?

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.920
He's missed five years?

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.799
Like 50.

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:26.000
Yeah, something like that.

00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.480
But if he's healthy, love it.

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.720
Draymond Jones, I actually do like that.

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:41.359
But I you know what I really didn't miss was an alert during free agency that says the Newland Patriots have signed a fucking fullback.

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.880
They paid him, but they're paying him four million dollars a year.

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.880
Reggie Gilliam.

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:50.880
But just off the presses today, Kevin Bayard, I do like that.

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.759
I do.

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.119
He came from Chicago, right?

00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:57.920
Yep, and he played with the Brabell in Tennessee.

00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.200
In Tennessee, right, yeah.

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.720
Yeah, that was a good signing for sure.

00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.240
Well, you I mean, what you you know better than me.

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:04.799
What do you think?

00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:06.240
Did they fill the need?

00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:11.119
So I like this how, in my opinion, outside looking in, Veritak is a great signing.

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:17.279
If he's on the field, I think that's a big deal breaker for you guys because that means Campbell doesn't have to play fucking tackle.

00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:20.799
And that's that's that's what that signing does instantly.

00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.480
Because Veritak is your left tackle.

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.519
He walks in day one and he's just starting left tackle.

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:26.960
If he's healthy.

00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:29.039
The Dobbs signing, man.

00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:29.680
You know what I mean?

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.480
It is what it is.

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:32.640
He was the best wide receiver left on the board.

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:34.960
You and and you paid for him.

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:36.799
Is is he a one?

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.559
Absolutely fucking not.

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.160
Not a goddamn chance.

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:42.960
Like, there's there's no there's no shot at all.

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.559
Like if he's stepped down, yeah.

00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.680
He can be.

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:54.480
I think he has a shot.

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.799
He he has a shot to get like a thousand yards.

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.039
You know, he's not gonna do much more than that, though.

00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.960
That that's who Romeo Dobbs is.

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:02.960
I'll fucking take it.

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:07.759
If you're telling me that Romeo Dubbs is gonna have a thousand-yard receiving yard, yeah, I'm in.

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.599
Fucking sign me up.

00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:22.320
Because right now we have K-Shawn Booty, we have Romeo Dubbs, we have Kyle Williams, we have Pop Douglas, we have oh, oh god, the guy from Buffalo doesn't wear any shoes.

00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:23.840
Oh, Matt Collins.

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:25.280
Yeah, Matt Collins.

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:36.239
Can you just offer a first and a second for fucking JJ Brown, please?

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.599
Please?

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:39.599
That's obviously the move.

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:40.960
Right.

00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:47.360
And I'll listen, if you if if if Phil if Philly's like, listen, you know, your your first round pick is number 31.

00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:47.840
Okay.

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:50.159
How about next year's first round pick?

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:54.239
Because everyone in the league is betting that the Patriots are gonna get worse because the schedule's getting harder.

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.400
So we'll give you a second this year and a first next year.

00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:01.440
Do it.

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.440
Do it.

00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:04.000
Agreed.

00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:04.400
Please.

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:04.960
Agreed.

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:05.840
Yeah.

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.480
Let's see.

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:10.400
Do we like the New York Giants?

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:18.079
They signed Isaiah Likely, they signed Tremaine Edmonds, they signed Greg Newsome, Patrick Ricard, fullback.

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:21.840
Listen, I think you and I are on the same page.

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:29.119
If if Dart's healthy, if neighbors is healthy, if God, uh Sket is it Scataboo?

00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:30.480
Is that the Scataboo?

00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:31.599
Yeah, yeah.

00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.199
That offense is something.

00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:43.199
Bro, and I think likely to me is is gonna be one of the I think he's a top 10 and a 15 tight end of the league.

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.920
I and I think he just hasn't had the chance to shine, being under Andrews.

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:53.920
I think it was kind of a a funny move for Harb Botch just to poach him away from Baltimore.

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.639
Damn it.

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.280
I I I like what the Giants did for sure.

00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.719
Next year is is gonna be tough in the NFC East for the Cowboys.

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:02.320
Because I think the Giants are gonna be very good.

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:03.920
I really like the likely tonic.

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.440
I think that was a big move for them.

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:14.480
I know that as a as a Boston sports show, I have the tendency to shit on the New York Jets.

00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:28.559
But if we look at this free agency so far, they trade for Gino Smith, they trade for Mika Fitzpatrick, they get Joseph Asai, they get Damario Davis, they get uh Dylan Parham.

00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:35.280
I mean, did they improve enough to be a an eight-win team?

00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:37.760
No quarterback.

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:39.280
I mean Gino.

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:42.000
Gino's gonna win the eight games?

00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:42.719
I don't know.

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.639
I I didn't Gino win the Seahawks fucking 12?

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:50.559
Yeah, but we remember what did Gino last year we saw.

00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:57.280
I mean, granted, it was on a shitty Raiders team, but this is a shitty Jets team that made Justin Fields look like the worst quarterback in the NFL.

00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:02.639
So what is it, the actual worst quarterback in the NFL gonna look like when you bring them into this offense next year?

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:04.480
It's tough, man.

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:05.679
They did do a good amount.

00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:06.800
I I'll give them that.

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.679
But this is a team that literally didn't have a turnover last year.

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.920
So no, I don't think it's enough to get the make wins because was it a turnover or an interception?

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.280
Was it zero turnovers?

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:17.920
Interception.

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.400
No, you're right.

00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.280
It was interception.

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:20.639
It was interception.

00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:26.079
Like because that's unbelievable if a defense hasn't turned the ball over once in 17 games.

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:27.440
Was it turnover?

00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:28.960
No, it had to be interception.

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.400
It could not have been turnovers.

00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:32.400
Yeah, it's definitely interception.

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:38.239
Pittsburgh doesn't make really any any big signings, but they do trade for Michael Pittman.

00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:41.280
So now you have DK, you have DK and Pittman.

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:43.440
You just don't know who's throwing to him.

00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:48.480
McCarthy would definitely want Rogers to come back.

00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:52.079
And I think that's what they're that's that's what they're gearing up for, right?

00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.400
They're they're banking another season on Aaron Rodgers.

00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.239
What other options do they have a quarterback at this point?

00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.559
It's not like they have anyone else they can go.

00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.119
What do they think?

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:05.679
Mason Rudolph is gonna be the guy throwing the fucking DK Metcalf and Michael Pitts.

00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.559
Let me ask you a question.

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.079
And I'm not I've never been high on this guy.

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:10.800
You always like you were always substantially higher than I was.

00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.559
Do you bring in Kyler?

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.440
I mean, I guess that's possible.

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:24.000
I I saw him link to Minnesota a lot, but yeah, I mean I think that's better.

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:25.840
I think that's better than Rogers, don't you?

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:27.039
I think that gives you a better shot.

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:28.400
Rogers does.

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:29.360
You know what I mean?

00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:34.639
I feel like you're at least your ceiling is higher with Kyler Martin with that offense than it is.

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.800
Now your floor is lower with Kyler Martin.

00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:37.920
Your floor is definitely lower.

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.760
Yeah, your floor is definitely lower.

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.400
For sure.

00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:42.159
Because you I mean that could be a disaster.

00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:43.760
You can end up with four wins.

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:52.559
And I feel like your floor with Aaron, the it the range, it's a way wider range because I feel like with Kyler, you can win 12 games with that offense, for sure.

00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:57.840
If Kyler's playing well, Kyler can play, but you could lose, you could win four.

00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.320
With Aaron Rodgers, it's like eight to ten.

00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:01.599
You know what I mean?

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.280
You know what you're getting with Aaron Rodgers.

00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.360
Max you're getting 10 wins.

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:11.039
But here's the here's why I would lean if I'm the front office of Pittsburgh towards Kyler.

00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:20.800
If you're if you're banking on Rodgers, you are assuming that your offensive line is good enough to protect a 43-year-old Aaron Rodgers that's no longer as mobile.

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:26.800
So theoretically, your offensive line is good enough to protect a younger, more athletic quarterback.

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.000
You now have a number one and an and a number two.

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.360
Why like that would that should be the dream scenario for Kyler?

00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.800
I mean, yeah, Justin Jefferson's pretty fucking awesome too.

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.039
But I don't know.

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.679
I I think I'd want to go, I want to go to Pittsburgh.

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:53.039
I think better organization, more mystique, and is I'm gonna gun to your head right now.

00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.800
Is Kevin O'Connell a better coach than Mike McCarthy?

00:39:59.119 --> 00:39:59.679
Mike McCarthy.

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:00.559
Yeah, he is.

00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:01.039
He is.

00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:02.000
No, he's not.

00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:02.960
Yes, he is.

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:04.559
He's better than Mike McCarthy.

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.000
How many Super Bowls Kevin O'Connell won?

00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:11.039
Yeah, I know, I know, but I I hate Michael Carthy.

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.599
How many playoff wins does Kevin O'Connell have?

00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:15.039
Does he have any?

00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:17.280
No, he doesn't, you're right.

00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:20.239
He only got there with Donald and they lost.

00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:21.519
He doesn't have any.

00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.159
No, he was there before Donald.

00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:27.599
He was there, he was wasn't he there with he wasn't there with cousins?

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:29.039
Yeah, he was.

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:36.320
No, Kirk Cousins doesn't have any playoff wins either, but I'm just saying, like, the the hate on Mike McCarthy.

00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:42.960
You may say it's justified, but didn't he lead Dallas at three 12-win seasons?

00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:49.440
I mean, he didn't get he didn't do anything with them though.

00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:50.079
So we'll see.

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:50.480
I don't know.

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:52.800
You're right.

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:53.360
You're right.

00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:54.960
I was right.

00:40:58.159 --> 00:40:58.960
Let's see.

00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:00.880
Washington, not really anything.

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.280
I mean, I'm sorry.

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:08.960
Washington signs their ed rusher for four years,$100 million,$68 million guaranteed.

00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:10.719
They I mean they vamped up their defense.

00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.000
Leo Chanel, three years,$24 million linebacker.

00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:17.840
Defensive tackle, Tim Settle, three years,$24 million.

00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.800
Edge rusher, Adafe, is it OA?

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:23.599
Yeah, Ada OA.

00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:30.239
So we saw that they had a need for to improve their defense.

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:33.440
They did that, and they retained Larry Metunsell.

00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:38.960
So is this the bounce back gear that you're looking for uh for Jalen on the offense?

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:44.800
I think it's clear that you know they invested in defense, man.

00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:51.519
They they got younger too, which I think was a big goal coming into this year because last year they were literally the oldest team in the NFL.

00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:57.599
So signing a guy like OA, who's 27, settles 27 or 28.

00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:58.239
You know what I mean?

00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.280
So they definitely got younger and they brought in impact guys for that defense.

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:03.599
So it's definitely exactly what they needed.

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.480
I think Okonklu is an underrated signing for them.

00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:09.360
I like him.

00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:12.559
I I like what he did in Tennessee when he was given the opportunity.

00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:16.320
Anytime he was given an opportunity, he was making big plays.

00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.599
And I think he's gonna do that in Washington as well.

00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:21.119
Yeah.

00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:27.599
It's just to me, the takeaway is you look around the NFC Eastman, you have just three teams that improved.

00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:33.840
And then the Cowboys who just didn't, you know, I mean Philly didn't improve.

00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:34.480
That's true.

00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.119
Philly lost to Allen Phillips, which was a big loss.

00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:38.639
That's a big loss for them.

00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:39.440
Yeah.

00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:47.039
Yeah, I mean, they they signed Rick Woolen, cornerback, tight end Johnny.

00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:48.800
I mean, I mean they they got nobody.

00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:49.599
Nobody.

00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:50.239
Yeah.

00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:51.599
Tell you what.

00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:58.880
And lost Jalen Phillips is a big Tennessee did a pretty good job this offseason so far.

00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:08.480
Wandale Robinson, four years 70 million, John Franklin Myers, three years uh 63 million, Alante Taylor.

00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.880
I mean, they short up their their line, they short up their secondary.

00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:20.960
Now, I'm not saying that they're gonna win like 10 games, but could they be vastly improved than they were last year?

00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:22.320
Yeah, they definitely could.

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.679
I mean, Los Arondeaux, I think, is a very underrated wide receiver.

00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:31.440
This, by the way, is is the contract that I would have been way more comfortable with Alec Pierce getting.

00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.800
Three years, three years, 70, 4 years, 70 mil.

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:35.199
Perfect.

00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.119
Yeah, that's a 112 Pierce theory.

00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:38.960
And not 114 million.

00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:40.159
That's insanity.

00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:42.960
This is this I like it.

00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.039
I I do like what Tennessee did.

00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:49.119
I mean, can they give Cam Warden another weapon, a reliable weapon, too?

00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:55.760
It's not a guy who's gonna, you know, take the top off the offense or take the top off the defense, but he's reliable.

00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.119
He's gonna get to 60, 70 catches and close to a thousand yards.

00:43:59.199 --> 00:43:59.840
And it's exactly.

00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:05.840
Is there a chance?

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.960
Because obviously this is only really day two.

00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:20.800
If you are Pittsburgh, would you rather Tyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, or Kirk Cousins?

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:30.159
Okay.

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:33.199
Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins?

00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.320
Not historically, current day.

00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:42.000
43-year-old Aaron.

00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:48.559
I guess to Aaron Rodgers, what I saw from Kirk Cousins last year wasn't great.

00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:51.360
He looked really bad in his limited opportunities.

00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:56.559
The Falcons won like their last five games with Kirk Cousins that starting after Michael Penix went down.

00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.239
So that's just not true.

00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.480
He had but one game.

00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:01.519
Alright, that's fair.

00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:07.920
Now he was terrible in the beginning of the season when he had to fill in for a little while, but I mean they done the stretchy.

00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:13.119
Didn't he throw it for like 500 fucking yards in December to like six touchdowns?

00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:13.519
Yeah.

00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:14.880
The John New Smith game.

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:15.760
That was Kirk Cousins.

00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:17.519
The Kyle Pitts game.

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:18.800
Kyle Pittskeck yards.

00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:19.599
That was Kirk Cousins.

00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:20.000
You're right.

00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:20.719
It was.

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:24.639
Yeah, I guess, I guess, I guess I know Kirk Cousins.

00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:31.679
Because I again I feel like I feel like the ceiling is higher with Kirk Cousins than it is with Aaron Rodgers.

00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:33.760
I feel like you can get a more prolific offense.

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:39.519
You can stretch the field more with Kirk Cousins because Aaron Rodgers just doesn't have that down the field ability like he did in the past.

00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:40.079
He just doesn't.

00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:41.199
That's not there anymore.

00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:44.000
I think I hate Kirk Cousins.

00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:49.599
We do agree that the the the floor is highest with Aaron Rodgers out of those three.

00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:51.360
Absolutely, for sure.

00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.519
You're getting at least eight wins with Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback.

00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:56.159
No doubt about it.

00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:56.480
Yeah.

00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:56.880
Yeah, yeah.

00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:58.000
I'm with you there.

00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:10.719
If so, if you saw what you saw out of Michael Penix last year, and you're and you are the Atlanta Falcons GM, why would you go and say my backup plan is now Tua?

00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:14.559
Like what are you doing?

00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:24.320
We've seen what the Fal like that Falcons offense just needs a a I mean Kirk Cousins was fine as their quarterback.

00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:31.119
But if you if you you need an upgrade over Michael Penix, I don't understand what they're doing with with Tua.

00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:32.239
I don't get it.

00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.719
I don't get they love themselves an injury from lefty left lefty quarterback, bro.

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:39.440
They love that shit.

00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:41.119
They're like, yeah, sign me up.

00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:43.199
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck Atlanta's done.

00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:50.800
And you know it's bad because like both fan bases are like Miami's like, oh yeah, good luck, bro.

00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:51.519
Fuck Tua.

00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.400
And then Atlanta when they sign, we're like, oh no.

00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:56.400
I don't know if I can root for him.

00:46:56.559 --> 00:47:01.679
It's it's tough when when one side is like, yep, good risk, and the other one's like, uh uh.

00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.920
It's you know, it's it's gonna be tough in Atlanta next year.

00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:06.960
I don't know what the fuck they're doing.

00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:08.480
I would have liked to see Kyler go there.

00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:12.639
I think he would have been a lot more with Bichon, with Drake London.

00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:18.159
I I think that would have been a much smarter move, but you know, lefty, lefty quarterback at that level.

00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:20.880
Also, I uh I think it's worth noting.

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:29.840
I don't know if this is a premonition or if it's just a flat out mistake by Chat GPT, but I I I I put in top 10 biggest free agent signings in the NFL in 2026.

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.440
And it says number seven, T.

00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:36.400
Higgins.

00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.480
Now, obviously that didn't happen.

00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:40.960
T.

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:42.159
Higgins to where?

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:42.719
T.

00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.480
Higgins to the Houston Texans.

00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:47.280
Now, obviously that didn't happen.

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:49.840
But could it?

00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:51.440
That's weird.

00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.199
Why didn't you have to chat meet?

00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:56.079
That's weird.

00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:04.159
That's weird.

00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:05.760
No, that couldn't happen.

00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:06.960
I mean could happen.

00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:08.639
Since yeah, that's not happening.

00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:10.800
But the hell is what are they doing?

00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:11.440
I don't know.

00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:12.320
It's just a weird thing.

00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:16.159
I mean, they make mistakes all the time, but like that's just that was the only mistake that they made.

00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:18.320
That's a weird mistake to make.

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:21.039
You don't need to check your phone.

00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:22.320
He's he's still in the Bengals.

00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:28.960
Uh so who's the biggest loser for you for free agency before we get the hell out of here?

00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:34.239
Philly's bad.

00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:36.000
Philly wasn't great.

00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:38.559
I gotta go Philly.

00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:40.880
For losing losing Phillips is not replacing him.

00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:43.199
They didn't do anything to show up the offense.

00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.679
Uh who else didn't do anything?

00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:47.199
Denver.

00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:49.039
Yeah, and Denver.

00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.079
Just because just that that's the other one I was trying to think of.

00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:55.679
Uh just because they didn't do anything, and they're obviously one of the better teams in the age.

00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.440
Like they need to do something.

00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:08.880
I mean, it always worries me if when a team that's not the Patriots doesn't do anything in free agency because then it means that they have some trade-up in the books.

00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:16.000
And I will lose, listen to me, I will lose my fucking mind if AJ Brown goes to the Denver Broncos.

00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:19.840
I I'm telling you right now, I will fucking lose it.

00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:21.440
So that better not happen.

00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:25.599
And I'm not putting I am putting it out there to just yank it the fuck back.

00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.400
Okay, that that just can't happen.

00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.760
But it feels like something like that is gonna happen.

00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:37.519
Because you get your quarterback on a rookie contract, you're not paying assholes money for anybody else.

00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:42.960
Do you want to talk me off the ledge, Bobby, or what?

00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.679
No, I no, no, of course not.

00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:46.320
Why would you?

00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.559
I I I I kind of like I kind of like that that reality that we live in.

00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:56.239
No, I I think I think the Patriots it would move them to go get AJ Brown.

00:49:56.320 --> 00:49:56.800
I think it would be.

00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:57.360
Oh, would it?

00:49:57.920 --> 00:49:59.599
If if if you bring in A.J.

00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.239
Brown, man, they're instantly one of the better offenses in the league.

00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:05.599
We offered a first and a third, and they rejected it.

00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:08.719
Go do first and a second.

00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:10.880
No, I know.

00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:22.719
I I understand the progression of things, but I've said Solic they didn't try so far, and they just paid Romeo Dobbs and that fucking helmet 68 million dollars to come in and and be our number two.

00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:26.239
So I'm mad.

00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:34.400
Is it well thank you, but I'm just gonna let you sit in it.

00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:35.760
No, I'm just gonna let you say in it.

00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:37.199
That's that's all I need to do.

00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:37.920
How's it feel?

00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:38.480
That's good.

00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:43.760
Well, I mean, as long as we can both agree that uh AJ Brown's not going to the Dallas Cowboys either.

00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.119
So, I mean, we're we're we're fucking we're we're fine.

00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:49.840
Free agency is not done, it's only just getting started.

00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:55.360
A lot of moves can still happen, and we have some injured vets that we'll probably be signing later in the season.

00:50:55.519 --> 00:51:06.480
But I think unless anything big happens, we'll probably switch our focus back to basketball, back to Jason Tatum returning all the things that have happened in the NBA um until the draft.

00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:08.320
And so stick around with us.

00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:10.639
But until then, it's really K Bob Kelly.

00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:13.360
Mike Mark Antos saying thank you folks in the point.

00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:14.960
Talk to you later.
