PMS 2.0 1511 - Free Agency Frenzy LIVE From The ThunderDome with Adam Schefter, Dan Orlovsky, Peter Schrager, Alec Pierce, Malik Willis, AQ Shipley, & Darius Butler - Free Transcript | The Pat McAfee Show

(singing)

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the thunder on this glorious, beautiful

Kay on it. What a time to be alive. Thank you so much for joining us live from the Thunderdome. It's not just me, it's not just the boys, the talks of table at Boston corner in Hatt Thai Schmidt. One half of the hammer, Cowboys, AP, Tone, 9-year NFL vet, one of the smartest humans to ever play football, Darrys, Jay Butler is here looking incredibly cool. It's a massive day boy, it's not just us, no, no, we got Adam Shepher here and also in the free agency Fun Zone. We have Shraigs and Dan Orlovsky who are going to be breaking down why things happen, how things happen and they look incredibly cool, a nice little tag team of happiness over there in the corner. Don't you think so, boy?

“It's not a doubt, man. Shraigs, what should we be looking forward to today, you think, brother?”

Valerie Kapp went up to 301 million, meaning there's going to be a rush of signings with teams looking to spend, I look for the wide receiver market to open just as the bell opens in just a few seconds. Okay, thank you, Shraigs, Dan, you look really cool, really cool, not uncomfortable at all, the pants aren't too tight now. We actually have some breaking news to start this entire thing, ladies and gentlemen, the bell of the ball was what he was named.

A man who is a second round draft pick out a Cincinnati to the Indianapolis coach.

A wide receiver that everybody wanted, while this guy can take to top off a defense in this modern world, where there's two shell coverage and everybody's keeping everything in front. Is anybody going to be able to be explosive? Is anybody able to be able to be able to be able to be able to go deep?

Well, there was one man that did that this past season at a rapid rate, Alec Pierce, where will he go?

“Well, he stayed with the coach. How the hell did this come to be, Chefty, and what do we know about the Alec Pierce Indianapolis Coat's deal that I think is a 116 over four years, Chefty?”

Is that what it is, Pat? 116 or so, again, just to confirm because you're the insider here on your guy, the deal is done, I want to make sure. Yes, the deal is done, 116 over four, I'm being told he's the highest paid free agent, wide receiver in NFL history. Chris Ballard, Carly R. Say, opened up the checkbook, now the deal was done, I believe this is how the game is played, by the way, deal is done by Mike Swenson and CJ LeBoy, who also helped facilitate the Max Crosby trade to Baltimore, you know what Max and Mike and CJ are saying is hey, we're in this thing, we're doing this thing Adam Alec Pierce stays in Indianapolis, D but huge news for the Coats now, Daniel Jones potentially are quarterback, they put the transition tag on them last week, not the franchise tag, other teams can still sign them and make the Coats match an offer sheet.

“Albert Breer was reporting this weekend, that Coats offered him the same Donald deal, which would be three years, 100 million, which about 33 per and then allegedly his team said, we're looking for 50 of them tag.”

Now, whatever he can get, we certainly want him to get play with a broken leg and an Achilles tear last year, let us stay in two, but Alec Pierce said if Daniel Jones the quarterback, that'll certainly make me want to come back, they had magic together, D-bud. Yeah, he's a game changer, since he's coming to Lee, he's been a big play waiting to happen, he's explosive guy and when you look at that B-roll, you look at those highlights, a ton of his highlights, his biggest plays, his best plays come against the best players and the best defenses in the league, so that's the guy that you want to keep in your building, obviously Chris Ballard and the Coats and the RSAs, they felt that way as well, they say big, big signing a big job, no comment probably wouldn't have been knowing that everybody wanted him if you wanted an explosive wide receiver.

He changed the game defensively, that free safety, if he's in the middle of the field, you better lean the 14 side, if you're split safety, you better be aware of where 14 is, so it's a big time signed about it in an opponent's coach. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is the manager signed the largest free agent, wide receiver deal in NFL history, wide receiver for the Indianapolis Coats, Alec Pierce. We're so happy to start back, can you tell me a little bit about the process and kind of where your brain went through this all as they transition tagged in your zones, which means they couldn't do anything to you, you set to hit the market, how did kind of the roads lead back here to India, were obviously incredibly pumped about a brother?

Yeah, I think, you know, with the whole tag thing, I thought initially into my agents thought initially that we were going to be getting some type of franchise tag or whatnot, and they were going to be getting to deal with Daniel and things kind of went that way for Daniel, so then they ended up having these attacks, so then it kind of opened it up like, oh wow, we're going to be the number one free agent receiver out here.

Then those opportunities started flooding in, but I knew where my heart was, ...

I just just seen where we were at last year, you know, early in the year, like rolling, like, we, I truly believe we were the number one team in the NFL.

And just obviously didn't finish out the season, like we should have, but, you know, I think we get, we get back to where we were. I believe in Daniel, I know they're going to get his, his deal done and lock him down on, I think we can be special. Okay, let's talk about being special, because you're right, eight and two, number one team in the league. We had as the number one headline coming out of every single NFL weekend where the culture going to win the Super Bowl.

“That's how damn dominant you guys looked.”

Defensive side looked good, offensive, good, special teams look good. A litany of injuries happened, then obviously down the stretch, lose seven straight. What was the messaging from the team to you about, hey, we can't go out like that? Was that ever talked about? Was that something you thought about? And why do you think this team still has the capability to go on and win the whole damn thing?

Yeah, I think, you know, just from what we did earlier in the year, I think you see, like, we had some going, we had the same pieces and it's going to be, especially offensive. I know we're going to have a lot of the same pieces and just keep on working to be better with that. And just, you know, excited, we added my boy sauce, we added him to the roster. And things just kind of, you know, I felt like he got injured, you know, stuff, stuff like that just was not really growing our way last year. Which you guys know how it is to really make the running go the whole way. Like, there's things outside of, you know, just football.

Like, you got to be lucky in terms of like having people say stay healthy and a lot of things got to kind of fall your way. And I felt like those things didn't go our way last year, but, you know, just excited to play with, like, more college human sauce. And just, you know, a lot of other other things went into it, but I know we can be special. Next time you post the photo with sauce, let's make sure you don't look like a fat ass. A lot of people attacking him out there out. A lot of people attacking him. You're getting the bag that you earned and stay here.

We're all incredibly grateful. Congratulations, man. Enjoy this moment. You earned it. Yeah, appreciate you. Thanks for having me, guys. Thanks for letting us break it. You're the man. Laser gentleman out here. Yeah.

“Okay. So, quickly, what did you hear from them there, Debut, whenever he was chitchat?”

And it was the glory days of that eight and two time, which is I think I need to find myself going back to a little bit more. There's a good running like you said. We all know, you got to have a run of lucky things and be on your side to finish strong and kind of make a real push to win it all.

They showed a lot of glimpses through that first half of the season and now you get the whole gang back together at a hook.

Knocked out into the Patriots. Yeah. He said a lot of opportunity started flooding it. I didn't even want him to say, well, one of them was variable call because I think he would really like variable. Yeah, happy you didn't talk to him. If that was the case in it all, but him coming back home, big deal. I thought Patriots were certainly a place that he could go to, especially because how good Drake can throw the deep ball. Drake is a great deep ball thrower. And they're building something and have cash obviously coats keeping him huge for us.

And just a team that needs water. She, for he mentioned he was the number one water see for target infre agency for all of the entire NFL. I think a lot of people connected Luke Fickle. His college coach and Cincinnati with Mike Wrable. So that was big him mentioning Dan Jones kind of there getting a deal done there something being there. That is also kind of very promising for cool. Yeah, he said that they're going to get a deal done. Okay, so maybe I've a brear thing about it. I won't 50 million.

I don't know if you can get it. Go ahead and get it. Let's head over to the free agency fund zone.

“I believe Dan Orlowski and Triggs both have some thoughts on Alec Pierce, who was the bell of the ball in the water see for market staying in Indianapolis boys. What's going on?”

Pat, first one out of the gate is obviously Alec Pierce. We're keeping an eye on Mike Evans. We're keeping an eye on a couple others here, but Dan wanted to break down a little bit of film.

Yeah, I think we got to show how he actually is the deep guy that everyone was covering. Let's go care Foxy. Okay, let's go care. So in 2024, I think he was 22.3 yards per cash last year, 21.3. But I want to point out, so this is Pierce. Okay, so everyone paid attention to one on one situation where when you're talking about like big plays down the field by Alec Pierce. Okay, sometimes it's versus really good corners play this Foxy because I want you guys now freeze this Foxy. So he's got what pretty bad leverage. He's running on a corner route, meaning he wants to go to this back pylon.

Stingley, one of the best corners in football is outside leverage. So you can let it ride Foxy. Now he's got a winning get his head back. This is really good awareness by Alec Pierce of understanding like the route. Okay, now you're going to get a post route on the right side. Okay, he's going to be on our right side of the screen post right now freeze it Foxy. This is the big deal to me. As you go down the field is receiver, you could play it. You don't want to create freeze it. Okay, you don't want to create contact yourself here. He does a nice job.

Instead of just running into the corner and creating contact, he avoids that corner and that corner doesn't have the opportunity to get hands on him. Then you allow the big speed play at Foxy to be the factor down the field. That's where that 21 plus yards per catch come into play. And so I think he's done a nice job with his route running around his standing like, yes, some big and physical. I could catch some of these one on one throws that we see down the field.

Also not just getting into contact with defensive backs just because so while...

He's a big play receiver. There's no doubt about it. But the fact that he can be a big play receiver and fight through some of that contact, but also avoid it down the field. I think it took him from, hey, he's a big tall athletic guy that can make plays down the field with his speed to a way more nuanced, complete wide receiver. It's a big signing for you to keep him. I love them in New York and I love them in New England. I would add this, you know, you look at Alec Pierce. You think of him more. He looks like he's like, I look across player.

Whatever it is, this guy is a dangerous deep threat. The defensive coordinators have to worry about the list of wide receivers. Now it's going through my big board here that are available for agency to keep an eye on. Rashid Shaheed, Joann Jennings, Juan Dale Robinson, Mike Evans, Romeo, Dubbs, Devo Samuel. It is a loaded class and teams are looking to spend. Keep it right here, Pat. Dubbs in the chat.

You appreciate you, Shrakes and Dano over there in a free agency fund zone. Now that we Alec Pierce obviously, Shrakes just rattled off a bunch of names that are potentially coming. Let's head into, you know, the news actually and see how he's doing.

“You have to, Alec Pierce get signed early. What else should we be looking for out of your Twitter account?”

Well, I think right now we're waiting on a number of deals. The wide receivers will come into focus. Your Peter mentioned Mike Evans. We expect clarity there in this show. Rashid Shaheed wouldn't be a surprise there. Joann Jennings is out there. Looks like the Niners will be losing Joann Jennings at this point in time. Juan Dale Robinson out there has interest from a few teams.

A lot of people have pointed to the Tennessee as a natural fit with Brian Deball as the offensive coordinator in Tennessee wanting to get back his former wide receiver will see whether they can get a deal done at some point in time. And I do think the Rams are going to be busy here this afternoon as well. OK, a shift on one final note. You broke Max Crosby on Friday. Congratulations. Let's talk about that Max Crosby trade challenge because we haven't really got a chance to take a bite out of the apple.

Baltimore Ravens take a huge swing and bring in the energizer bunny. A guy who is considered a goat, considered a great.

We've never got a chance to see him in prime time games.

He's obviously been the heart of a raider in the pillar of the Raiders organization since he got there. Now, though, whenever the Baltimore Ravens feels like a perfect fit.

“Honestly, he feels like a perfect fit. This morning, Dan or Lovsky said,”

"All right, they're ain't no more excuses, Tom." Right. And the more Jackson responded with, like, "There's never excuses, Dan." What do we've talked about with a sig with looking? So I don't know what all their emojis mean. I don't know if Lamar wants to smoke with Dan or Lovsky or if he's saying that Dan or Lovsky's smoking,

which I tried to get him to this morning. I must say he did not. So we don't know what this is saying, but what we do know, Max Crosby going to the Ravens is a huge move by them. In Minter now, has Darwin James, Kyle Hamilton, and he also has what Khalil Mack now, Max Crosby, amongst other things, feels like they're loading up for a defense that's about to be back to greatness again next year.

Yeah, they got great players on every level of that defense under a tree under a tree last year. They were pretty bad last year, and neither bottom and a league when it comes to past rush and sex. And when you think about the Baltimore Ravens in that defense, that's kind of the first thing you think about,

violent and then getting after the quarterback. So I know you have a guy who's an absolute game changer.

Whenever you're trading two first round picks, you want to change that four guy who changes the math. So when you bring in a guy like sauce like we did, that guy got to be able to shut down one side of the field

“if it's a past rush or you have to change past protections and impact the game.”

Even when you're not getting sex, and you got to be able to affect the run game as well. So their talented on all levels, we know the mind that Jesse Mentor is when it comes to calling a defense and setting them up. I think this is a good move. If you swing for the fences, we have a quarterback like Lamar Jackson. And yeah, when you want a couple MVP's definitely no excuse for it for the quarterback, and he knows that as well. A couple of these guys who are going to go down is great.

You know, they don't have Super Bowl's shawl in the heat song. Lamar, the heat song. Joey B, the heat song. This is just the life as an NFL quarterback. There's a little bit of odd shift whenever Max Cross becomes the Baltimore. We've seen quarterbacks go to new teams and the Super Boats not change at all.

Max Cross be the convict. It takes no place off. And he's relentlessly annoying everybody on the field at all times. Change the math for the Super Bowl odds tone. Yeah, going before the trade happened, the Buffalo Bills were the favorites to win the AFC after the trade happened. The Ravens are now tied with the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC. They are behind the Rams and the Seahawks as far as overall Super Bowl odds go.

But right after the Seahawks right after the Rams, it then goes the Bills and the Ravens who are now tied to win the AFC. They're third and fourth respectively to win the Super Bowl. Super Bowl odds change on that side.

For the Raiders, they had $83 million in cap space on Friday at noon.

Now, 110 million stay after the moves that they make. So that's obviously great for them. We like seeing or thinking of Max Cross be playing in football that matters. Yeah, I mean, we've been saying that for years on and now. And it kind of got to the point where we say that every single off season or around the trade deadline.

It just never happened for whatever reason.

But it's awesome that they finally pull the trigger and just, you know, speaking from personal experience. You look back to last year like if you're a fan, you know, Mike Parsons comes in and you feel that effect immediately. You feel it immediately. He makes everybody else better too. So if you're a Ravens fan, you're in seventh heaven this morning.

Let's go to free agency Fun Zone, Shregs.

Who always in for Max Cross?

We heard a lot of names Cowboys. I heard maybe, maybe Patriots, bears. Bears, bears, maybe instead of ends up being the Ravens. Did we know the Shregs? No, several teams were involved with this one.

And the Ravens early on Friday did offer those two first round picks. What's interesting is no one else worth to be able to match that. So the Raider for dangling it a little bit and the Ravens become the destination. And I will add this. Jesse Minter comes from Los Angeles Chargers played against Max Cross before different times.

And all four of those games, Max Cross be wrecked shopped. The offensive coordinator in Baltimore is now Declan Doyle, 29 years old. We as kid offensive coordinator, everyone thinks of him as a bears coach, but no, he was with the Denver Broncos, where oh, by the way, every time that they faced them, he was absolutely dominating them against the Broncos as well. So Max Cross me, that is your guy and he goes to Baltimore, where they are thrilled and you better believe he will be the last one out of the tunnel doing the Raid Lewis dance when they introduced them at M&T Bankfield.

You talk about Joe Burrow having a set of messages to Jamar Chase saying, hey, just a heads off of him. Miles Garrett, TJ Watt, and now Max Cross me, the ABC North is hot in the kitchen, Dan O. Yeah, and I think that's kind of... Sounds like you don't think Lamar's right. What is Lamar saying to you in that tweet?

“You think do you think he knew you looked this cool?”

What do you think he is saying to you in there? No, I don't know what he is saying to me. I can't confirm that you tried to get me to smoke this morning, but I chose not to. I think it's just like a figure, he said it himself.

It's just like a figure speech in a way of like, hey, there's always pressure on the mar.

There's always pressure on Joe, there's always pressure on Josh Allen. There's always going to be, but when the organization moves off from a great head coach, brings in another offensive system, and then takes future picks and says, All right, we want this guy, Max Cross moves been one of the best defensive players of football. It's just another sign of like, they're not sitting here saying, hey, we're going to ease our way into it.

Let's say, hey, Lamar, you're still in your prime. Let's go get this done finally, and so maybe it's the one missing piece. That's all it's like, hey, we're running out of things to reason why it hasn't happened. Josh Allen's in the same boat. There's no doubt about it. They fired John McDermott and hired the offensive coordinator Joe Brita. So I think both of those guys are even more elevated than what they've been in the past.

Josh and Lamar have been in the same boat. The most under pressure quarterback in the NFL for the last three seasons or so. This is a huge move, just like Buffalo getting DJ Moore. So yeah, I was, I would say this, we all grew up in the era of playing against Baltimore, where it was like, you walked in to Terrell Sugs.

“And it was like, oh, gosh, do we got to play against Sugs?”

This is like their generation of Terrell Sugs. He just sounds and plays like a raven. You know, it max embodies a lot of what that organization's about. So I said, there's this morning, it said, Buffalo, what's your move? You can't sit, Pat. Can't sit. What's your move?

You can't sit. What's your move? Since then, what's your move? You can't just sit back and watch. What's your move? What's your move? Your stand out. Yeah, I just, I think these teams, like Baltimore's not sitting around a waiting for everybody. I love the fact they did it.

I had this, Pat, you were talking about the Cowboys. They were definitely involved in then two first rounders. They weren't giving up two first rounders. Well, what have been silly? Because they got two first rounders for Michael. So why not just keep Michael?

I mean, you decide what silly and then we'll see if the eye the ball order is. That's the free agency funds on over there, which they can do in that. Another fun move to a talk of a little gone. Okay, we're talking about $99 million. How a dead cap that's about to hit 67 of it next year. So it's 67 million dollar dead cap is obviously the biggest that a team is ever accrued

for one particular season for one player. Remember the Russell Wilson situation was like $40 million or something like that.

$50 million has never been done before. Now, salary cap's up over 301 mil.

These teams are living a dream. We got more money than we ever thought we could have. $1,000 up to 20 million, not supposed to bump up that much. So they've projected what their contracts could be and can be. They end up with a little bit more money and down there in Miami.

And the post-christ career era and the new Green Bay Packers run down there.

“They say we can take $67 million hit this year, right?”

$67 would be the biggest in the history of the game. That'd be a lot of money, bro. $311. Yes, they're doing the math. That's a large percentage of money that we're not able to have. Sean Payton just didn't endeavor.

You're right. Get us out of here. Let's do it. $9 million to $9 million cap to $32 million next year. They'll take in dead cap hit for two of Tongueville,

as they continue to move on. Debut, South Florida.

Broward, Tony Hall of Famer.

Your thoughts on the two era down there in Miami? And what comes next for the dolphin? I mean, obviously you hate how it ended Miami. The dolphins, in particular, have been looking for that guy. Since Dammarino.

“Honestly, it's been a revolved mid-door at the quarterback position.”

It's been over, what, down to 25 years. Since they've gotten a playoff victory. And then you thought once he got paid and then he had the kind of MVP run, you thought it was going up. But it didn't kind of went all downhill.

And now with half the over there. And suddenly a lot of the signs kind of pointing to Malique Willis been their next guy potentially. Or maybe they just go for the next quarterback in the draft. Kind of alarming.

They couldn't get anything for him. They were calling him to trade it and get number one in that building. But we shall see him. And I hate how it ended up. But just like the opposite.

Thanks for the memories down in Miami, too. Yeah, shout out to two and also shout out to a man. And I might have a little bit more information on this. Let's head into the free agency frenzies. I don't know with Adam Shepter.

How did that come to this decision? 99 million. Yeah, that can't win. Well, let's give you an idea of what's going on in Miami right now. With two and the dolphins.

I think the dolphins, obviously. They'll be dipping their toes into the Malique Willis market.

“I think that they are going to be a team that is interested in Malique Willis.”

It's a question of whether or not they can work out a deal with him. But I think the dolphins would be square and play. Jeff Hathley, the head coach, John Erick Sullivan, the GM,

got a first hand up close look at two at Malique Willis.

Malique Willis in practice last year in Green Bay. As for two, a tongue of Iloa. He is definitely going to be interested in joining the Atlanta Falcons. They're interested in him. And you can just see it right now.

Two left handed quarterbacks in the ATL. Michael Pentex, two a tongue of Iloa. You don't have to adjust the offense very much. They need help with Pentex coming off that knee injury. Two could be that guy.

So two is set loose today. And again, I think he's supposed to talk to the Falcons. The staff are noon. We'll see if they can get a deal worked out. Where he goes in there.

Shouldn't be an expensive deal. The dolphins are already paying him guaranteed money. So again, two could be in line in Atlanta. And I think that the Falcons will be in I'm Malique Willis. I think I'm getting a text message right now that I can't talk about it.

More to head into the Falcons. We appreciate you. Sheftar. That's very fascinating. You know, because the small deal for the veteran quarterback was getting paid elsewhere.

Once again, Russell Wilson kind of mastered that with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Still is able to get Russell Wilson for 1.2 million bucks or whatever the case is.

Kyle Murray also in discussions to be in that particular convoy. Too available. Kyle are available. Kirk allegedly going to be available. D-bud.

It sounds like we're getting another wave of the second generation quarterback. Maybe getting another crack at the Apple. Yeah, Geno Smith as well. I mean, look, these guys, you know their talented. You've seen him play at a high level in the league at some period in time.

So you know their talents. You know they can get it done. But we've seen it in quarterbacks of the past. Sometimes you've got to be in the right system. Got to be the right coach.

You got to have the right players around you as well. You know you have the talent there. If the money can make sense for the team. Why not bring him in and give him a shot. We'll see, you know, where these guys end up.

Well, and you mentioned, you know, that massive cap hit that the Broncos took on. They decided to go with a rookie quarterback for the dolphins. It is if it's not Malik will us. This is probably the time to have a cheap, you know, veteran quarterback available. There's five of them.

We've listed off two of being one of them. So four really for the dolphins to kind of choose from. So having that massive cap hit definitely sucks. But at least now, you have a couple options to replace them. Yeah, I love the thought of two of going and having success.

And going back and hanging 70 on people. I love the thought of. I like the thought of Kyle or going to Kevin O'Connell offense. And throwing for 500 a game. Three hundred a game.

“But we all have to remember, some of these guys might just suck a football.”

Cool. I don't want to say that today. Yesterday is about dreams coming true. Oh, chef. Detroit.

Somebody got a bag. Who is it? Can it walk or go to the sea? The Kansas City Chiefs. He obviously was going to be moving on the chiefs about to lead in the backfield.

Questions about whether they'd be getting a Jeremiah love the number nine slot. So Kenneth Walker will be going to the Kansas City Chiefs. So let it find their backfield. Okay. I love that, chef.

Where to go? Thank you. What the fuck? How he's back at it. Now he's back at it.

So Kenneth Walker signs with the Kansas City Chiefs. Obviously. Yeah. Let's go to the free agency fund zone. Shregs.

How come the chiefs are in on everybody? That's cool. Super Bowl MVP is heading to the chiefs. It feels like this is a repeat story. Well, we also saw that Travis Kelsey is likely coming back, which is great news as well.

That's the rumors here. But Kenneth Walker, he had a market. This is a guy who had a market with various teams. But they focused in on the Kansas City Chiefs. His agent David Canter got him right before the playoff run.

Think about that. He fire his agent right before the playoff run signs with a new agent.

Goes on has that incredible tear.

Goes in with Super Bowl MVP. And he had his choices. The numbers will be coming in shortly. They will be very strong.

Strong enough where it was worth leaving the Seattle.

See hooks to go to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Big addition from Red Feature. If you remember when it had a big signing with Sammy Watkins a few years back, which really got things going for the chiefs. And that dinosaur. Shregs. Shregs.

I love that. Daniel. Tell me a little bit about what this could do for Patrick Bonds. Nobody's really talking about Patrick Bonds. I saw him post some photos.

Travis Kelsey coming back into the world. Nobody's really talking about the chiefs being who the chiefs is. Sports books still haven't been to fifth best. I think they have respect.

“Well, when are you talking about general football convoy on the AFC?”

They're not really talking about. Does this change out? You think is this an anti-breed weapon that could change everything for them, Daniel? 100%. The slide of the chiefs offense over the last two or three years is directly correlated to them.

Not being able to run the football really at all. Last year, they were the only team in the NFL to not have a back. Average more than four yards per carry. And they were the, they had a back have one carry for more than 20 yards. This was a throw it at all cost football team.

Not now you're looking at a Kansas City offense that Eric B. Enemies back. They want to get more 50, 50 balance, 60, 40 balance. We'll see what Patrick's health is coming off of the ACL. Maybe they'll have to be a little bit more reliant on running the football early on. And so this is kind of the trend in the wave of the NFL of exactly kind of, you know,

how offense has to get played. You've got to be able to run the football Kansas City has not been able to the last two years. So this is a really important signing. Also means during, they don't think during my love. The back from Notre Dame is going to get to the number nine pick.

Jeremiah ran a four three and then he did all the work out. Yeah, the drills and he is outrageous obviously. You need a good run game tone.

“What are the chiefs looking like from the sports books perspective?”

So yeah, we just mentioned the Ravens who are now tied with the buffalo bills for the best odds to win the AFC. Right behind them are the Kansas City chiefs. So while he has the chiefs are being quiet right now because they had one of their worst seasons that they've had an over a decade as far as like us and media and people talking about on the sports books still believe that the chiefs are one of the three best teams in the AFC.

They're tied for fifth as far as odds are concerned to win the Super Bowl. We match neither. He can't throw a football for ship, but the guy can build a football team. Him moving on from Kenneth Walker. We're all like that sucks.

Super Bowl MVP. He just came on Lake as sharpen. They got injured. They're assuming that sharpen A is going to be able to be back into what he was. But we watch Kenneth Walker in Michigan State.

He feels like every time Kenneth Walker gets the ball. He's doing something like legitimately since I've known of his existence. Every time I've seen him have a football, he's been doing something with it. So for him to win a Super Bowl MVP and then be up. Good for him.

But Schneider had to make a tough decision kind of letting him go. And Andy Reed and Veet for just waiting for it. Well, I just talked about a culture guy like you're getting. Somebody who goes in and knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl. And when you talk about just his numbers in general because of the sharp and anything.

It was a good six week run where a running joke on the internet was how Kenneth Walker would get every single guard down to the goal line. And then a sharp and able basically take it home. So for the chief to get him, that's massive. And now, you know, we mentioned Jeremiah love.

They have the ninth pick. They can get one of the top alignment. You know, the old line has been a big question for them over the past few years. Especially after trading. Joe tuning to the bears.

So then being able to then focus on that during the draft is even bigger for that team. The draft should be bananas. We cannot wait to be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for all of that. It's going to be special time, special night. And a lot of these teams are at the top have a lot of money. You know, so what does the draft look like after this free agency spending period?

To be honest, it's been kind of quiet. I don't know if you guys saw a Pellacera reported that in the last league meetings, there was a vote to Pittsburgh Steelers. I believe put together where they could have an hour where they could talk some of these free agents that they were looking to sign.

In the past, it was just the agents, the agents, the agents, the agents.

And you didn't even talk to the player before giving them $200 million dollars.

Now there's something going on where you get an hour to talk to five different free agent prospects. So I wondered if there was going to slow down the free agency frenzy at noon, because guys that were supposed to give massive bags. Let's go ahead and do a double check and then roll it into our two, maybe even hour three, which we will certainly be here for Tom Pellacera,

settle but significant change when the NFL's free agent negotiating window opens on Monday. For the first time, clubs make a doctor one video or a phone call, a maximum one hour without five free agents. So these guys that they used to just give money to without even knowing, just being told by their agents and other things.

Now they can't chat with them. This feels smart. Yes. This feels like a smart move.

“That's why the Alec Pierce deal is so easy to make happen.”

They can't just walk or deal. I assume it's easy because that was given earlier than that. Combine to get a chance to chat and kind of learn about it. It's a great last year's free agency frenzy. This is before they're even allowed to talk to guys.

Okay, not even allowed to have a hello with these guys.

$2.84 billion in contract.

$7.77. Yeah. That's Monday through Wednesday. Last year's free agency frenzy. Deeline one today, which is kind of an indicator of what the league is.

You need four ones up front. So the deal on going to get paid. $8.62 million last year. Secondary. Eight out of four.

Eight out of four is got a bag. Who's that? Trimbeduffy. Oh, yeah.

He just became a higher star.

$31 million.

“Trimbeduffy gets traded and then he becomes the highest paid corner in history.”

A 31 million dollars a year.

There's also a corner down in Jacksonville that just got paid earlier. Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown. It does feel like Deeline DBs.

If you can buy them and get them, you certainly try to do that. It has become a trend of the free agency frenzy. Yeah, absolutely. If you look at the Rams. They kind of went DB by committing a bunch of zone coverage.

Only rush before. So you need it. But that kind of expose them. Late in the end. Sam Darner took advantage of it.

And that's the championship game. Just kind of find their holes. You have a guy. Trent McDuff who can kind of probably get you over that hump. You can play man.

He can match up with number one receivers, rather than on the outside. Or on the inside. He's a tough guy. You talk about Kenneth Walker having that culture and know the wins. Takes a winning championship.

Trent won too. And now he's going over to the Rams. Hopefully get them to the promised land again. Let's talk about another corner. Stokes just a renegotiating new deal with the Raiders.

30 million dollars is well, not a year.

But he's getting a 30 million dollar. 30 million dollar deal with 20 million dollars guaranteed. Says Ian Rappaport of NFL network, which is also. Wait a minute. ESPN.

Yeah. You're not in houses. Oh, yeah. Come in together. Did you even see Sheffty quote tweeted?

Yeah. Interesting. Wow. Interesting. Outright.

Retweet. Yeah. They put their source swords aside. Yeah. We can maybe go ahead and do this thing.

So another corner gets paid. I think there's a lot of names. Potentially that we're not going to know that are going to get paid. Which leads me to go back to the free agency fund zone. Triggs, a lot of money to go.

Not a lot of names that we're going to find out. A lot of wealthy unknown folks seemingly going to be a story line of this free agency frenzy. Yeah. Look, this is it.

The salary cap weight path from 280 to 301 million.

And there are not dazzling names all over every position group. But teams have to spend the money.

“So there will be guys who you look at and you say, what?”

I think Alec Pierce raised eyebrows. I think with Kenneth Walker's number comes in. It will raise eyebrows. There are several that are going to go today. And you're going to be surprised by how much money they're making.

Throw that out the window. Realize that teams have to spend the money. And they want to do so to fill out their team and hit that salary cap number. A lot of names are being in my phone right now. I know Adams on it as well.

I would expect Mike Evans in the next hour or so to announce where he is going. Whether he goes back to Tampa or then explores a new option for the final chapter of his career. Shave the internet. He is saying, K to cotton is returning to Tampa Bay, Per Source. Chefty, what's the deal with K to cotton and Tampa Bay as we hear Mike Evans probably hitting market. One of a number of good tight ends in the free agent market.

We've got a number of them out there. Chicka conquers out there. Isaiah likely is out there and K to cotton didn't waste any time. He's going back to Tampa and you heard Peter reference Mike Evans. It's a situation where if they lose him, you want to retain some continuity enough.

And so important that they get back K to cotton and then now or doing that as we speak finalizing that deal. Okay. So right now you're staring at your friend waiting for the numbers to come through. Like so you'll get a text that says, Yop K is going back to Tampa and then another text comes from another person who tells you what it's worth. Chefty, is that what we're watching right now? We're waiting for a number of moves, Pat.

“I think all these teams are checking in and by the way there are people that thought certain players are going certain places.”

And agents are doing what they do. They're trying to extract better terms before they can get a deal done. So this is going to be interesting to see how this old plays out here in the coming hours here. Chefty, quick question for you that hour long interview that teams are allowed to have with free agents. Now that's a new rule.

Has that been affecting any of this and are any of the teams doing that right now? I don't think it matters. I think these teams know what they're trying to do and they have an idea of which players they want to get signed. Dad, you look so cool over there, Chefty. You know what it looks like?

Pat, you know what it looks like? It looks like nightline. I feel like I'm doing nightline from the Thunderdome. Well, hey, it's a good time. Yeah, pretty cool.

This thing can roll into the night if you are. You're in where all the chaos is. So we tried to depict that and we think it's awesome. It really paints a perfect picture for what's going on in your brain over there. There's a little bit of lightning a little bit of thunder or certainly some news in a lot to do.

Okay, give me off TV, please second. God Conversations to be had. Kate Oten remains with Tampa Bay. Mike Evans potentially on the move. You know, renegotiations.

That has to be Alec Pierce. Alec Pierce, they thought he was heading maybe some other place. So now New England's able to probably open up that money if they were the landing spot. Waiters that go. That's kind of the frenziness of the free agency frenzy con man.

Well, let alone just the numbers itself. I wonder how many people thought Alec Pierce might have been getting, you know, 29, does that, you know, effect Mike Evans, some of those other guys were she, she, you know, him in Seattle. They said try to get a deal done before free agency couldn't get it done.

You wonder if they now kind of bump their numbers up by a million or two, just because of the fact that Alec Pierce got paid. And I'm sure Kate on and we'll do the same for some of those other tight ends. A couple of deals that happen over the weekend that we have to hit. Colleal Mac reached a one year agreement for $18 million.

Full of guaranteed to go back to the charges.

That's a good win for Colleal and for the charges. It feels like I've said good football player on the field, but what he brings to that bill, Dean, the weight room we all, we got to see. We've got to see what we've got to see. We've got to see what we've got to see.

See what we've got to see. Great resigning. I think for the, for the charge. Yeah, we set the stage for free agency with a lot of deals that happen. I know you guys are just Eddie Piniero in the 49ers.

They reworked the deal. Good for him, appreciative of him. Packers in tackle Sean Ryan reach a three year 33 million dollar deal. Up to 39 million, 11 million dollar signing bonus. Got to love that the package has been in money on the big boys.

Yeah, absolutely. And they're going to slide him over to center.

“I believe, which is where he started like the last nine games of the year.”

And it was really good. So they're probably going to get rid of Elton Jenkins and he'll be their starting center. Okay. So we have some updates on the Kenneth Walker signing. Are a mirror of has accrued some information.

He says it's three years worth up to 45 million. About 15 million a year. Let's see him. It's 12 to 13 million each year. That feels like a very good price for Kenneth Walker.

And once again, anytime anybody signs with chiefs, they know the super bulls and opportunities.

So they're always going to utilize that as negotiation in the backdrop.

Absolutely. This was the move. Dano mentioned it earlier when we were talking about the cross betrayer. Okay. Chiefs, what's your move?

Move bills, what's your move? So this was a big move. I think it's a big swing. We talked about Patrick Mahomes. He was the leading rusher for the chiefs way too many times.

Then him was coming off of injury. You definitely want to protect him more. And I think Kenneth Walker, I know he was splitting carries. He's splitting touches with sharpened A, but that'll bolt well. I believe for his future keeping those legs kind of fresh.

Got him in a new deal, which he absolutely aren't. Not only does he help that run game, but he's an absolute monster in the past game. And that screen game is what Andy Reed has always been a beast when it comes to dialing up screen. So I think this is a perfect sign.

I know deal has been done. Chiefs corner back. Former corner Jalen walks in his reach and agreement today on a three year deal with the Los Angeles Rams shot the Colin Roberts of Excel. The Rams now will have two former chiefs corners.

Watson and McDuffie McDuffie just became the highest pay corner in the game with 31 million

after being traded to the Los Angeles Rams. Now we got Jalen Watson over there. Let's head back to Sheffty. Sheffty, what are the Rams doing? Cooking.

I would say. Yeah, they're cooking. And obviously they're taking the chiefs corner backs right now. And it's a situation where he is going to play one corner. Trent McDuffie's going to be the other corner.

And the Rams have loaded up in the secondary. They are importing their corner backs from Kansas City. More coming up right now at Old Ones. I love that Sheffty. Keep working.

Keep pounding the buttons on your phone there. Let's head right over to the free agency. Fun zone. You know, shranks. We know you're tight with the Rams.

They're Super Bowl favorites. And they're in the middle of cooking right now. What do you know? The corner was their biggest priority. They get Trent McDuffie.

They get Jalen Watson. Great signings for them.

“But I'm also going to go back to the Kenneth Walker because I think the 15 or”

the 45 over three years might be a little misleading. The key to the Kenneth Walker deal.

28.7 million dollars fully guarantee.

That's where the money really is. It's the guaranteed money. That's what the agents worked on. They said, OK, the overall is fine. Whatever.

But the guaranteed money for Kenneth Walker. He had options. As for Jalen Watson. Sheffty and I were talking before the show. Rams have been in the free agent market as far as corner goes.

Jalen Watson. Trent McDuffie. You basically take that Kansas City duo. You put him in a forklift and you put him right there in Los Angeles. You plop him in there.

They're set. It also means they can go a different direction with that 13th overall. Pick the half from Atlanta. Yeah. So in relation with Kenneth Walker to Kansas City.

I'll just reiterate what D but touched on is like Baltimore kind of set the table. This offseason saying. Nope. We're still in the fight. Kansas City's matched it.

Buffalo's a little bit. I still think Buffalo needs to go do a defensive move. And now the Rams on the NFC side upset. No, we believe because there was conversation with the Rams of okay. Are they going to take a quarter back and round one and start to springboard after

Matthew Stafford. Stafford and kind of not try to have a drop back.

“And I think the Rams watched how last season played out and said.”

We thought we were the best team in the NFL. And we still think that this is a very real super window. They trade for McDuffie. They sign Watson. If I would.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams tried to get my Kevin's from Tampa Bay. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams tried to side tray. Hendrickson as a pass rusher. My Kevin's to the Rams. Absolutely absolutely.

Absolutely. I would not be surprised if the Rams are in to try to sign my Kevin's. And sign tray Hendrickson. Who? All right.

That's a free agency. Fun zone. Yeah. Break it a lot of hearts. And a lot of different ways.

My Kevin's with Matthew Stafford and Puka is taste. Still there. Yeah. I think we got a muted. Do we have Dando muted right now?

We just started yelling, Dan, is taste still over there? Devante is still there. And so I think that they look at their offense. And you saw what Devante came over and did for them in the red zone. 101.

Could you imagine this Rams offense? If you give them Devante Adams, Puka and Mike 101, won't be able to stop him. Oh, that makes way.

I heard chef yelling.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the commanders in Laramie Tunzel have agreed on a new two year.”

60.2 million dollar deal.

Let's head right to chef the who's crawling out of the skin. Let's talk about it. Okay. We got a bigger one than that. Patrick just came in.

Jalen Phillips. Four year. 120 million dollar deal with the Carolina Panthers. That just gets done. That just gets done.

Four years. 120 million on Jalen Phillips. So one of the best pass rushers in the market. This is going to have some implications here. There are a lot of people in the past rush market.

By the way, the Wi-Fi in this room pad is not working very well. No, I'm going to tell you something. I'm trying to get things out here. It's not working. No, no way.

It's 1000 up, 1000 down, chef. You might be your stuff, not ours. Wow. On that note, four year, 120 million. 80 million in guaranteed.

The Carolina Panthers say, hi, it's done. Keep it moving. I love demo making the play. I love tepper making the play. I like canalist doing this thing.

They were close last year. Started seeing success. They started filling up the stadium. And now they double down and let's keep this thing going. Jalen Phillips is an absolute monster heading the Caroline.

Without a doubt, Mike Sheffey said.

“I think everyone just assumes like, oh, he's going to be going back to fill.”

No matter what, but this is the kind of move. We talked about it all last year with Carolina. Let's go football team. These are the type of moves that you can envision them going from a go football team to a great football team.

So what a splash from the start here. Yeah, Debut, how do you feel about the Jalen Phillips signing for the Carolina Panthers down there in Charlotte? We're starting to take football real serious all this.

Yeah, first round, pick and he came over to the Eagles.

Seriously, we're starting to take football real serious. Yeah, they're going in. Yeah, he was dominant. And this is a premium position. You have one of the best cornerbacks in the league on that defense with Jason.

You want it. And now you get a dynamic pass, Russia. And also a guy who's good against the runs. So this is a huge huge sign for the Panthers. Hey, Caroline Panthers.

Wow. That's a good football team. That's a good football team. Cheers to them getting that job done. That's going to be a boost that entire building.

Let's head over to the free agency. Fun zone. What do your thoughts on this move? Shregs. Carolina Panthers are real in Dan O.

That a NFC South all of a sudden might be running through to Queen City. I got to tell you, Humbly, I'm surprised. I thought he was going back to Philly guys. I really did. I thought that was the plan to keep their own guys.

I didn't see the Carolina offer coming in. That's the beauty of the free agent friends. We do this for a living or on our phones all day long. Carolina is truly a surprise to me and hats off to them for keeping it close to the best. A major swing, a zero-everow.

They are defensive corner where most respected guys in the league. Also known friends, defensive backfield stuff, but they are putting you guys on the front door. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

What? What? Sorry. Breaking news. Oh, no.

Culture training. Here we go. Let's go. Here we go. This bird's going to Super Bowl.

Here we go. They got Pittman. It's in his name. Here we go. He'll die while playing the game.

Here we go. The cold's lost 'em now. Little bummed out. But it'll be nice to see. Watch it about.

Here we go. Pittman. Yeah, that's awesome. They said it to Pittsburgh. You guys are going to love them.

I put on a tweet that said something along the lines of hate the fact that we're going to be losing Michael Pittman.

Because he has a $29 million cap hit, especially after what we had to do for Pierce and

for Daniel Jones. And we assume Jonathan Taylor's going to want to do as well before he puts his hoodie on. Men stands on training camp and tears everything got. Now, Pittman, I would like to say a huge thank you to you. You were a pro through and through for this Indianapolis Coldsteam.

There's a lot of rumors coming out about the way the culture was behind the scenes. People late the things people doing this. People making business decisions. Not this guy. This guy would dive head first into a freight train if he had to to make a catch or first

down for a team. We are very grateful for what he did for the coats and head in the Pittsburgh. Seems like it's on you up and up. Mike McCarthy's going to love this guy. And so are the insurers.

He's a farmer. He doesn't talk much. And he balls. Alec Pierce obviously came into a role whenever Daniel Jones started playing quarterback. That he was clearly the number one.

This guy was our number one for the last few years. He's a weapon obviously 29 million was a big piece of it for the Indianapolis Coats. And the Steelers pick up an absolute go. No doubt about it.

Yeah, Steelers had plenty of cap space. So we're all good there. This is awesome. You look at Pittman. He's got a sea on the jersey.

He's a leader. You talked about how the locker room quotes locker. And then he was a leader in there in that locker room. And the big thing for the Steelers the last few years has been an issue with playmakers.

“That's why they traded for DK Maccalf last year.”

He was great in that situation. But there was still no number two on that team right now. What? He was watching. Watch your mouth.

Watch it. Oh, not that. Hey. Hey. Not today.

Okay. Not today.

Now they have DK.

And then right now on the roster besides DK.

“It was just DK and Benny Scronich who was one of the best special teams players in the league.”

But as far as why receiver goes, we need another one. So now you have him. Pittman.

Maybe you don't necessarily have to go get one on the first one.

That first round now or you still could. It just frees up to some things that there's a legitimate number two now. In Pittsburgh. It's going to be huge for Mike McCarthy. Pat Firemuth.

Darnell Washington. What? I was there. A little heart that was sent back to you on you wishing somebody a happy free agency frenzy. Yeah.

And I'm saying heart. And you go. Wait a minute. Maybe the Steelers are going to do some pretty big year in the first hour of free agency frenzy. The Michael Pittman has been traded.

I like this new Steelers. Yeah. Well, this new Steelers will make plays, this new Steelers will make moves. Well, this new Steelers win. Yeah.

That's where they're quarterback. You tell it. It's a lot of questions. I guess who's the damn quarterback boys? Well, I mean, if it's not going to be air in the Steelers should sign in the league.

Well, it's okay. So a couple of things with Michael Pittman Jr.

“I think Kenneth Gainwell led the Steelers and catches last year with 73.”

Yeah. He's a running back.

He had the second fewest catches by wide receivers in the NFL last year.

So this was a much, much needed upgrade at the guy opposite DK Medketh. My guess is Aaron's going to play for the Steelers. But if he's got any word to them that he's not coming back in is going to retire. They would be the number one option for Melique. Well, it says quarterback now.

So then you take Melique Willis. You're pairing with DK. You're pairing with Michael Pittman Jr. This offense has got a chance to be a decent unit. But I expect it to be Aaron.

Dano, we watched you put out a list of things that every team needs in the NFL. We obviously just assume you want the chat GPT copy past you put the tweet out and say, These are my ideas, but you could have done it yourself. QB, Waterceiver, running back lead team and catches. It's exactly what Mike McCarthy and Omar Con thought as well.

Dano. So maybe they're using the same research tool that you are. No, it's just my brain. I did it on the plane ride last night. I had a delta flight with no TV.

So did it on the plane ride? Um, this is what they have. We talked it out. Yeah, thank you, Dan. Did you get any peanuts and any water?

No, no eating. Just water. Just the bottle water. This is cookie. It's got doesn't eat.

You see these pants.

It's going to take these pants down.

Geez. We've been checking out the hamstrings and the thighs, brother. They're kind of all blended into one. You look good out there, dude. I'm saying not eating any time.

But let's get back to the delta flight that you took last night. Thank you so much for doing that. Geez. I know you had to do the entirety of it. But you go through every single team's.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, thank you so much. Super. You push the plane down a runway to get the thing up in the sky. We appreciate you doing that.

This is also you who I texted last week saying, Hey, how far is the airport phone to Thunderdome? And you said, my airport? Or yours. Look at this move on.

That is great question. Yeah. Two very different. Yeah. Very different opposite sides of this.

Yeah, that's one's real close, brother. What is 24? Yeah. But you put in that list. That's one of the best steps about that.

I will say, a properly timed and delivered. But let's go through it. Why receiver was something that you thought they needed. It's been a few years. They've made it in the guy.

It feels like Pickman fits their culture very well. Yeah. Big time they fit their culture. He also fits their size. Like this is now too big the body.

Big frames. Why receivers? I would imagine Pickman's probably listed as a six four guy. Obviously DK is a big physical dude. So now you've got two big receivers in a conference or a division that has got Baltimore

with a very good secondary Cleveland with a very good secondary. So I like the fact that Pickman juniors traded for it. It stinks that the colds lose him. But this is a very good signing for Pittsburgh. I would love to see them add a dynamic kind of space creator.

Guys, space. I know they drafted Roman Wilson. Hopefully he'll be healthy going into this year. But if you pair those big bodies on the outside who are going to be matchup problems weekend a week out with the guy that can create.

We're going to South Florida who found a new trigger man. Malik Willis and the Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement. Let's head to the man in the brick the story. Adam Shefter Malik Willis is now a member of the Dolphins. It's felt too easy with all the Green Bay Packers connections.

Well, we were talking about this right. They move up from to it today. They knew all the people there. They've seen Malik Willis. He's seen them need and the Dolphins wanted him more than any other team.

We'll see what the deal looks like. But he wasn't going to the jet. He wasn't going to the Falcons. He wasn't going to the Browns. The Cardinals had a modicum of interest.

And so Malik Willis now reunites with John Erick Sullivan. The new Dolphins, GM and Jeff Hathley. The new Dolphins. Hey coach. Hell yeah.

Congratulations to the Dolphins.

“Debut I think I saw a little bit of excitement out of the body.”

Whenever that popped up. Now at least you know you have a quarterback. What is the price tag potentially for this? Chefty do we have any expectations? Dan Otollus.

A while ago, what price tag? 40 mil. Yeah. Have they predicted this morning about it?

All right.

Before Chef as Chef continues to look up the numbers, let's head over to Dan O at the free agency. Fun zone to tell us what Malik Willis potentially brings to the mind.

Me Dolphins and why this first quarterback off the board.

Yeah. So Foxy. Let's make sure we live in the past game world.

“So I think what you've got Malik Willis is a talented guy that's developed.”

The understanding of how to play the position. So before we run this, you're going to see this safety. He's going to spin back and he's going to go to play what we call kind of cover two. Okay. So when you are attacking cover two, you want to receive her to go down the middle of the field.

Now Malik Willis, you could play Foxy. Does it great job of getting this ball out of the stands? Cutting it loose. And this is really nice. I want to like freeze that.

Okay. This is a very small window for a quarterback to be able to throw the football to play Foxy. And that ball is just beautifully placed in between two defenders. That's outstanding, okay, from a quarterback perspective throw in the football. And then you're going to see the ability to kind of understand protection.

He's going to get pressure right there. Okay. I deal with that pressure. Good job by the back. You can play Foxy.

And this is the ball out on time now. Again, well, I want you guys to see these throwing windows. Let it freeze, Foxy. That's a tight window in the NFL that falls out on time. Really good on that outbreaking route.

So you saw as ball down the middle of the field. You saw a ball on the outbreaker. This is outstanding. Look at his eyes. Okay.

I want everyone to see. I'm going to draw a line. Okay. He is looking this way.

“Now, when he's looking this way, he's going to take this defender that way.”

What that does is that now freeze up this route on the backside. Okay. So Foxy, you can let it go. See that on time now. Okay.

That this is a guy that was physically gifted. He got the chance to sit 10 to see and then green bay. And now you're watching him play on time and rhythm. This is going to be a beautiful. We're going to get a nice crossing right here.

Excuse me. Nice crossing route that's going to get designed by this quarterback and offense. Okay. This one's got to be thrown with a little bit of timing and touching anticipation. One, two, three, four, five.

Crossing route. Beautiful. In that window. Right there. Okay.

So I'm showing you guys all these. There's a ball down the scene. There's a ball on the out. There's a ball on the in route. There's a ball on a crosshair.

These aren't easy throws. Foxy, let it ride. And so then then there's athleticism too. Get outside of the pocket. Make some plays.

And so yes, it's a small body of work. And is it a dice roll for the Miami Dolphins? Of course it is.

“But I think when you watch this tape and you see some of the infrastructure and outer structure,”

playmaking ability. There's a lot to like. And I'm sure this deal is not just going to choke Miami from a financial perspective. So I think it makes it ton of sense for the Miami Dolphins. I would add this pat.

You know, the half Lee and John Erick Sullivan think cannot be understated. Everyone says we haven't seen enough from the lake. But let's go away through 35 passes all last year. Half Lee is the defensive corner of the packers when Malique Willis is the number 2 quarterback meaning every day in practice.

Scout team. He saw this guy. Incredible person. This is the Scouting Report. We get leader.

And on the run. Strong, powerful, fat. They love this kid in Miami.

So this is a picture where it's not just a third out of dark.

This coach saw it after this quarterback. And he knows him as well as anybody else on the market. The other thing I'd say is this isn't Bobby Slowick. Yeah. The offensive coordinator.

So Bobby Slowick, who is in Houston. CJ Straud's rookie year had CJ playing at a really high level. He's got experience with a young quarterback. Very similar system to what Matt LaFluer ran in Green Bay. So Malique Willis is going to have the ability to go down their right away.

And not necessarily have to learn like this brand new system indoor style. It's going to be that under center on rhythm, on time, play action outside the pocket. I'm not telling everybody to this guy's going to be the next top five quarterback. But I do think that he's got the chance to open up some eyes down there immediately. And you trust that.

You got over the way. We have some big news on the tight end that we all like. Like we has reached a three year deal with the New York football giant. Harbaugh says, yep, I love him. I like him a lot.

I've been in the building with him Jackson. You're going to love him. I love him. Stadaboo. Wait until you see what you're about to do.

Let's head over to the mountain who broke the news. Chef, what's to do with likely and how many people wanted to mire to a lot of teams. We're looking to get that. Listen, like they had a big market. Baltimore, we'd like to back Washington, New England.

This will affect some of the other teams that are an interest in the tight end. Chica Conquo. I would imagine it'll be next with K dot and going to Tampa. And with Isaiah likely now reuniting with John Harbaugh in New York. Obviously a big deal there.

Okay, we appreciate you, Chef. You're phone continues to vibrate.

Okay, so we've had a lot of magic happen already here in the first hour.

I think there is a chance. You know, with some of the places not being necessarily the locked-in destination for some of these free agents, we got teams making moves. We still got two more hours here on ESPN. Then we'll hand it over to the lovely Laura Rutledge's NFL.

We'll continue to be covering the free agency frenzy all through the afternoon here on ESPN.

Then tonight we have some magic with some bats.

Do we not touch, man? Yeah, we do.

“We got World Baseball Classic pool play game.”

Mexico versus the USA. And the US hasn't beat Mexico since 2006. So this is like a massive game. A good litmus test for our team as well.

Who's looked a little sluggish in their first two games.

Paul schemes. Let's not throw a fastball right down in the middle. First pitch. Yeah. Logan got in a bad spot.

His only bad pitch is the first one of the strike. Fastball right down in the middle. They took it yard. Scramble first pitch right down in the middle. They took it yard.

Scenes for my understanding is going to do the same thing. That is what pitchers feel like they have to do. If they. They got to feel this fastball first have to. And it took great Britain was like, hey, that first pitch is the only one we got.

Yeah. This is all we know boom and they actually connect on that. Paul schemes tonight against Mexico should be electrifying shot at the baseball for being spectacular. Wow. This particular Monday.

Free agency frenzy will roll on in hour two. Scott on the gibb is cooking. Shefter is obviously living in his two phones. The free agency fun zone with shrakes and orlovsky is obviously spectacular. And we are honored to continue on the other side of this break.

Breaking all the news and deals and dreams coming true. Around the entirety of the NFL. Be a friend to the friend something nice. It might change their life. Take.

Three. Three. Three.

“But what I want to do is not to be a champion of the whole studio.”

The master of the club has been hit by the soft hand that is internet.

It's a master's real name. I mean, you can say that you can be a hero. You mean you're a player. But you don't believe it. No.

You're a player. You're a player. You're a player. You're a player. And when you work, you're a coach.

That's right. Save. You're a player. You're a player. Now you're a coach.
