PMS 2.0 1512 - Free Agency Frenzy Day 2 LIVE From The ThunderDome with Adam Schefter, Dan Orlovsky, Peter Schrager, Travis Kelce, Connor McGovern, & Darius Butler - Free Transcript | The Pat McAfee Show

(upbeat music)

♪ Falling off and Who is the second day ♪

- Hello beautiful people and welcome back to our humble abode,

“the Thunderdome on day two of NFL Free Agency.”

March 10th, 2020 six, it's a great day to be alive. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living. My name's Pat McAfee, the show is named after me. I talk a lot, but it's not just me.

I talk to the table here at Boston Conner and at Ty Schmidt Conman, big day in our eyes because we got a countdown and it's on. - Yeah exactly, 184 days to NFL football last year, two of the top five teams in free agency

were the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks saw that money spend yesterday. It does mean something, okay. And we got more money spent today and a lot of good players.

- They say you can't win a Super Bowl march. It's like, well, actually. - Oh, that's right.

- I like Seattle Seahawks, certainly.

Help Ty, what's your big takeaway is when we look at day two of free agency friends? - Yeah, I'm looking for some of these teams who really didn't do anything yesterday and maybe, you know, dip a toe in today.

Packers, early this morning, Benjamin St. Juice, Corner Baton. - Oh, because they had to release the guy that they signed last year on free agency friends and gave a bunch of money too.

So we'll see some of these teams who weren't really involved yesterday, it's still a lot of good players available out there. - Let's go to one half of the hammer. Done.

- Cowboys, AP tones. Feels like there was maybe some odd movement yesterday with money being thrown around to these players. - Yes, three teams within a division. Their odds got a lot better.

The Titans made a lot of moves yesterday. They went from plus 750 to plus 600. The Raiders went from plus 4,000 to plus 2,200. - Wow. - Yeah, there's still less.

“- The biggest movement of all time, I think.”

And then we had a jump. We talked about yesterday that Carolina Panthers were in last place in the NFC South. They jumped the Falcons ago from plus 425 to plus 370 with their moves yesterday.

- Let's go to nine year NFL vet. We want to best dress guys on TV. - By far. - Certainly the coolest. - This is a gentleman big brain owner of everything DB,

a good D, a bad D, dare to stay Butler's here, D-Bug. - He just talked about Carolina Panthers and what they did with the odds. Anything surprising yesterday and what are your thoughts on what happens today?

Day two of money bags being thrown around. - I'm surprised the Panthers didn't jump a little higher. And those are, so I would like him as a favorite. Obviously they won last year and I love what youngers doing.

We always talk about them being a good football team.

They got a lot better yesterday. They got the best pass restaurant in the market with Jalen Phillips. Then Devon Lord, who had an unbelievable year in Jacksonville, you knew they weren't gonna give them the money he deserves. I love to see it from Dan Morgan up there in Carolina.

He's really spinning it right now. - Yeah, they certainly are. And obviously it's not just us here. We're incredibly lucky that a lot of the ESPN icons have taken a trip out here.

The beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana for this free agency, frenzy celebration. Let's head over to the free agency, Funzo. - Whoo! - Braids.

- Or a love ski. Boys, it's great to see you. It was nice having dinner with you last night. We appreciate your company, Andrew. Or you guys killed yesterday.

Correct to see you day two, Shregs. He just mentioned Jalen Phillips right there. He wasn't the only eagle that disappeared yesterday, Shregs. - Yeah, the Philadelphia Eagles lost quite a lot. - You're on your own, you're good.

- Are we good? - Yeah, it's quite a bit of talent yesterday in for agency. Nicole B. Dean, Jalen Phillips, obviously read blank and ship and then the receiver, Johan Dodson. I got Eagles fans all over my timeline.

All over my phone saying, what are we doing? What are we calm down? Deep breath, marching April is what we call how we season. How we rosemen, the best general manager in football

“season, SZN, remember, they have to eventually get new deals done”

for Cooper, Dijene and Quinion Mitchell in Nolan Smith and Jalen Carder. And oh, by the way, there might be some moves in their holster. So Philadelphia Eagles fans, I know it feels like a crazy, crazy offseason of departures which have stoutlanded. And of course, all these players remember last year,

you lost Milton Williams, you lost Josh Sweat, you still had one of the top defenses in the league. This is part of being a football team. When you're really good and you're drafted really well, there will be teams that come poaching and rating and taking

trust your general manager. It is how we season. If you win, there's enough to go around. They say, before we get to you, Diano, we do have to have a mammoth silence.

I don't like to be doing it. The exciting whites took over football for a bit. Had no idea that two cockassoids could do that, had those positions in the NFL. People would get them confused. Hey, white guy playing position, you're not supposed to play,

how's it going? And white guy would have to say, it's the other one, guy.

Now, we'll never get to hear the exciting mics of the exciting whites

continue because one of the whites is leaving time. Rest easy, too. The exciting whites. And we, and I personally would like thank you guys for your service to football. You broke down in wild bears.

Uh-huh, troblets. One of them made to all everything DVD. Yeah. Yeah. There's how much Jackie Robinson.

Uh-huh. Is that going to be the only time ever? No, no, we got one in the draft. Might be the first round. Oh, wow.

Look what these exciting whites did. It's over now because 24.75 million dollars was sent to re-blank and shift from Nick Jaceria, who said, "I need me water now." Congratulations on the health of running silence.

Nice to meet you. Love you, guys. I'm never forget, guys. Okay, Dana, let's get back to you now. What, what's your kind of thoughts as we hit day two of free agency,

frenzy here, Dan, or log skiing?

Well, never see how you follow that.

I don't know.

“Maybe you just turned your bike off, I think.”

I think you just turned your bike front off. I think you just, no, you just turned it off, I think. I think you clearly pushed a button and turned it off. It's on now. It's on now.

It's been on the whole time. All right, both. Um, doesn't Oregon have, uh... That's... Thin Amendment, Dylan.

Yeah, Thin Amendment. That's the, that's the potential first round. All right, so there's hope for, there's hope. There's ain't hand out. He was 401.

What? That's what they said. That's what they said. We're all surprised. I won't let you know.

You can believe it though. Go on lad, lad, lad. And you're burning lad. That's what they were saying. Sorry, Dan, oh.

Today though, a big day for agency frenzy, more money and thoughts like that.

“Anything, tie in from yesterday or today for you, as you have to follow all that stuff.”

I would be very much so looking forward to seeing today where Hendrix and Lens, Trey Hendrix and I don't think that pitting him to just some of the obvious teams is necessarily the right way to go. I think that there's teams that just could be lurking out there that Chicago bears, the Buffalo Bills, the Rams, the Eagles, because they obviously lose Jalen Phillips.

So like, where Hendrix and goes and I'm surprised that Romeo Dobbs, the Packers receiver, hasn't gone yet. I think Romeo Dobbs is a absolute number one wide receiver. He's not in that number one delivery group. Yeah, but a guy that you can like put out by himself and go win on routes. And so, I would love for him to stay angry, babe, for their offense.

But if you're new England, it's like, man, how do we not try to find a way to get Romeo Dobbs into this offense? Because I think past game-wise, he's awesome. Yeah, I appreciate all of those thoughts. And I think today is going to be active.

We still think today is going to be active. Dobbs would certainly get some dub some places and who knows what the market is for all parties that are still available after the first wave of free agency goes. A lot of punters get money early. That's right, a lot of people get a punter and need to get a punter.

Let's go ahead and talk about the massive amount of money that was actually spent yesterday.

2.864-97 billion dollars in contract yesterday.

Top 5 spenders, shout to the Panthers down there. 172.5 million. And the Saints make a play.

“They're the 133 or 192.5 million depending upon where you read that.”

They have real contracts now. That's right, they do. They are now at the point of kicking can-down road, kicking can-down road. Now no longer having a road to kick it down. These deals have to live where they have to live.

So congrats to everybody that got paid yesterday by them. They're expecting you to be really good. And also, shock you're going to have to do this. Commanders 209 million. Wow, wow.

What a day. Tennessee Titans, Burgond, shout out there. Oh, my, here we go. A lot of money. We're going to have to spend it.

Bob Sal is happy about that. And then the Las Vegas Raiders.

Two hundred and eighty-one million dollars plus yesterday in full contracts.

They're certainly going to undergoing a brand new era. Tom Brady may be a little bit more in charge. Mm-hmm. In Fernando Mendoza, the home. Let's head into the man who broke all the news yesterday.

Senior NFL insider for ESPN, Michigan, man. And maybe a little bit more on all these deals. Adam, chef. Yeah, chef. I like to go air in there, chef.

Yeah. Yeah. It's not going to be back in the Thunderdome for a second day on the nightline set here, in the corner room. Love being here.

And yes, the room is cooler. The Wi-Fi seems to be worth it. And we're going to have some action today, Pat. We've got some names still available. Wouldn't be a surprise.

We saw a Romeo Dobbs deal done during the course of this show. We've got Rashid Walker. Still out there. Kay Levant, Jason, still out there. We've got Cheg, a concord, a tight end.

Reak wool in the corner back, Leo Chanel, Braden Smith, Joanne Jennings, Wyatt Teller, a lot of good players. The quarterbacks, we would expect movement, but not yet, because neither Kyler Murray, nor Gino Smith officially have been released from their teams. So they are not allowed to do anything during this time right now, and they can't until

They are released.

Obviously, people waiting on Minnesota to see the Vikings in Kyler Murray will see if and when that happens, and Gino Smith will see what happens once the Raiders release him. OK, so Chegler, explain a little bit more about Kyler Murray, Wednesday thing. I know there are new league years then, but everybody's acting as if their contracts are

up right now.

“Why is it such a big deal with Kyler that he has to get released?”

Are they waiting to trade him still, or are they hoping somebody wants to, like, why is this still happening?

He has, I think it's a $16 million bonus that's due on the third or fourth or fifth day

of the league year. The cardinals are not going to allow that data come to where they have to put more money into Kyler. So they can wait as long as they want up until that point, and they have not released them, but they will and are expected to release him before that happens.

Now, the new league year begins. Why is that confusing? Why is that confusing? Why don't they release him? I don't think that is going to cause they to screw them, basically.

Yesterday, you know, potentially Miami, what if Miami was interested or Atlanta was interested or anything like that? This is strictly just to hold on to hope that he gets traded or in the event that somebody is happy to step forward, what's the difference in their minds if they release him today tomorrow or Thursday, like they don't know that they might not get a call from some

hey, they will give you a fifth round pick for Kyler Murray. All right, now is that going to happen? No, but they're holding on to him, and then they'll release him, and then, of course, Minnesota will see again if that happens with the Vikings. Do they know that that's not going to happen over there?

They hold not hope that somebody will get super desperate in one of these quarterback needy teams.

They're not expecting it, they're not counting on it, but you never know.

It's a one million shot, but it's not costing them anything to hold on to for another day or two. They don't feel like they owe Kyler Murray anything.

“They hate them all these millions of dollars anyway, what's the difference?”

Yeah, I agree. I guess, and they're also going to be paying them in the future, which is why teams are going to be able to only have to pay them like a million bucks, like Russell Wilson did in Pittsburgh. They're paying up 36.8 million this year.

They could hold on to him up until the deadline if they want before they move on from him, which they will. Okay, so they're going to do that just in case you never know what's going to be placed and also, yeah, we get the final say in this in times. Yeah, it would have been nice being that first wave.

Some of the teams were to have a really nice set up now in the Kyler Murray's quarterback while they're pitching other free agents to potentially come, join their team. We all assume that he's going to Minnesota. Well, I think that's the logical landing spot. Now we'll see what happens.

You don't know what other teams could step in, but yeah, if I were betting today, I would bet Minnesota. Okay, that's a fascinating situation. We appreciate your safety. We'll continue to fall along with your Twitter account, and maybe we get a glass break.

Oh, maybe we get a chapter, tweet. What a time yesterday. So fun. It was a good time. I really enjoyed yesterday.

I also enjoyed, obviously, the boys in studio. We mentioned it there at the top. There were some big spenders and $2.8 billion in contracts given out the raiders kind of go ahead and go for it. And they had a lot of money.

Obviously, they made more money after they moved on from Max Crosby, who's now a member of the Baltimore Ravens, which is crazy. Think about it. Yeah. And he's a little more taxing going deep, Daniel loves me.

Yeah. I think so. That's right. Yes. It was kind of the last straw.

Daniel, have we gotten a read on what those emojis were, have we gotten a read on what that smoke? Is that him wanting to smoke with you? Have you got any messaging from anybody? No, I have.

And I hope not. I want no beef with Lamar or any NFL player. Have a maybe smoke with Lamar, are you? Yeah. I'm doing that, right?

It's kind of your thing. Good for the socials. I'm married to girl that maybe has that as a little bit of interpassed, but I don't necessarily. Excuse me.

How you doing? What? I'll see you later. I'll see you later. Her mom's a parent head.

Her mom is Jimmy Buffett. She's a hip. Oh, so she want things that are left, things that are right. I understand what's going on over the time.

“I think more Jackson is sick of your shit.”

Yeah. Exactly. I don't have a good read on it. I don't know what the emojis are. And once again Lamar Jackson, one of the greatest emoji users in the history of the act.

All right. Okay, we all know that. Yeah. Buddy. We all have what we all have.

Yeah. So him kind of toying with you right now, fantastic news. We appreciate you, Dan. Oh, Kyler Murray, that with the Vikings, Dan. Feels like a natural fit.

Feels like the only fit. You think they're just waiting for him? Is that kind of what they're, is that what their mode is? Yeah. I also have learned that when Sheffty kind of says something, he's not just saying it.

He's always leaving TVs and breadcrumbs around.

So I don't necessarily think it's a natural fit, though. I would say you this in Minnesota's offense. They just want the quarterback to play point guard and allow the offense to play caller, Kevin O'Connell, to star. I think that Kyler is such a dynamic player and dynamic athlete that he naturally wants to

be the star. And so trying to fit that, you know, trying to fit that kind of style of play into that offense is going to be, it's going to take some time.

I do think that Kyler is really good in the play action game, the movement game.

He obviously has plays like this, or he could just make something out of nothing. So that's a plus. But in this offense, that originated years ago with Mike Shanahan and then went Gary

Kubiak and then Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVeigh like they've, it's always been an offense

that has elevated quarterbacks specifically that maybe aren't the most physically gifted guys, as far as like athlete run around and make a play big arm guy, it's always elevated those guys. A lot like a Sam Donaldd and Kyler has it necessarily needed that style of offense.

“So I think Kyler, like it'll take some time for him to have the discipline to play”

in that offense. Yeah, the mental acceptance, if you will, maybe getting cut from a team, though, while they're holding you up is a moment that he can maybe have that process of just saying, hey, let me buy you into what this guy's pitching and I can kind of cook. Do you think they started doing that type offense because there was a drop-off in quarterback

play and they're like, hey, if we have the system and we just get a guy that can throw football, which we know every year there's going to be a guy that can throw a football. We should be able to have success consistently. Like you while you talk about, I hear you think in yourself, I wish I was in one of these offenses.

I was. Oh, in 16. Oh, my root, my start, yeah, Houston. I was in Houston, but Shelby started every game when I was there. Is that the pick six machine?

Yeah. That was after I left Houston. Yeah, he threw like a straight games to the pick six games. He was in his 20 years. He was unbelievable.

I mean, he was unbelievable. Let's not talk about it. I mean, it's hard to throw that many as well. I don't want to be a thing. I did that him.

Yeah, he's a stud. I'm not saying he's so your diner was sharp. He got it. So you've been in that offense. You loved it.

That was where you're supposed to be, you think? Yeah. I mean, that's where I feel.

“Oh, that's why he hates on all he's saying.”

If Mac Jones was in brotherdy, you remember this at the home? I'm the normal guy who can't really, that's why he thinks to himself, man, could you imagine George Kid or Aterra? Yes, he was right. What do you want him to do?

Yeah, you may have. Oh my God. Is that it? Daniel, is that you? That offense?

No, I just think the offense is awesome for quarterbacks. Okay, okay. Sure. Now, you would be great in there too though, right? Will you?

Would be. I wouldn't have been nearly as good as the guys that are doing it. Hell yeah. I like that. Very helpful.

Did you see him taking that credit for? You were a physically talented brother. We watched you do the quarterback care cell, done it for a long time. Yeah. Showed up and dominated.

It was nice to see that. Daniel. That's good. Now we're losing it. You're doing something with that mic.

You need to stop it. Okay. Speaking of Kyler Murray's going through the Vikings, maybe says Daniel might not be an absolutely perfect fit, but they'll have to wait, I guess, for the cardinals to decide when they can let him go.

There's also plenty of other free agents that could sign today that we'd say, wow, didn't know that person was available or wow, didn't know they were going for that much. This talk about not knowing somebody was going for that much.

30 million a year to a center is quite a message from a franchise.

The Las Vegas Raiders send a huge one and sign in a lender button and they weren't done there. They continued to spend. What are your thoughts on what the Raiders did, D-but? And if you're Fernando Mendoza and you're the fan of the Raiders, maybe, huh?

It's hard not to just buy in and be like, maybe we do have the pieces already got Brock, already got Ashton. I assume there's a lot of dogs on the defense and we don't talk about because we only can talk about Max Crosby because how damn good Max Crosby is, are the Raiders about to have a little bit of a, uh, uh, were an actual football team parent, uh, time in their life.

You think? Yeah, you look at this graphic and all up there all the way from left to right. It's a bunch of pros, good pros not only on the field, but off the field in the locker room. These are guys that are respected and very respected, uh, by their teammates, and you talk about Linda bomb.

So you're sure enough, the interior of that pocket for who we're assuming to be Fernando Mandosa at, you know, whichever, uh, inevitable point he jumps up to the top of the Daniels board. I think he'll be the number one pick in the draft to go to Vegas. So I, you shoved that, that interior of the office of line, you help out your running game.

Obviously, Quity paid first round pick here, didn't quite pan out how we thought he would, but definitely a lot. I still have a high ceiling from him. Quay Walker and Dean, you sure up the linebacker core right there. Terrence Johnson.

Aero, I was on here, we talked to him. He mentioned him being one of the best football players in the league and he allows you to play a little more nickel than a lot of teams do. So all these signings have been great right now.

“You got to win at March, then you obviously have to win in the draft if you want to be”

a competitor once a season comes. I love that they're spending the half to spend now with the way our market is with the way the NFL operates. There is a floor and there is a top and they had a shit ton that they had to spend. But it feels like they're making the right decisions.

And it's not just the cap that they're able to move. They're set up pretty well for the, what is this with the Raiders? The Raiders have a bunch of money for free games and seemingly made good moves, even paid somebody

a brand new 30 million, nobody expected for a center position.

I mean, I think it was like 12 million more than a net losses interior offense alignment. So I mean, that's a huge, huge jump for whenever you talk about a position getting paid. But if you need it and it's going to make you win, we're for it. I think that's the difference between us and people that analyze all the salaries and numbers and everything.

We're a big, like, hey, if this is going to win you, again, what's the purpose? Yeah.

Not in the money matter.

Texas. If you're winning. Everything protects. We have no idea if they overpaid for it or not. If he ends up being the glue that pulls together an offense, a line that can protect Fernando

Bendoza in block for Ashton, Gentie, it's like all of a sudden you feel like you got the offense figured out. Then on defensive side, you're going to have to make some place well, bringing some bets over there on that side that have made plays as well. And then you think about free agency being good to him.

It's not just that. They got draft season coming and they got some real stuff coming. Yeah.

They have 11 draft picks in this upcoming draft two in the first round, thanks to the Max

Crosby trade, and then two in the first round next season. So that's four first round picks in the next two years. So you can either take four really good players or package those to move over. Oh, we're bundling. You're good.

I mean, what happened a few years ago? The Texans bundled. They did the thing they get CJ Strout and we'll Anderson. It turned that entire member. Remember how shitty the Texans were?

Oh, my God. So I'm fine. They're a trash house. Yeah. I mean, we've pulled with us and shot.

We've seen it happen a lot recently. I mean, you get burrow in the bangles turn around.

“When you get a patriot, what happened with the Patriots?”

Like it's the Raiders fans should feel really good and optimistic right now. I feel really good for him because Las Vegas obviously good home for football, good home for the NFL feels like their stadium is sweet. We obviously like making trips out there and if their teams good first time long time, that'd be great for them.

We'll suck for Max, Crosby. No doubt. Yeah. But he'll say contributed because obviously the Texans are monitored. He was able to get a busier part of it, but it's like, it does feel like we're entering

a new era of this, not that they haven't been used that before. But they are entering a new era that looks like it's going to have a good chance in this. Well, in the pieces like the quarterback Tony mentioned with Drake, man, Joe Burrow, like even those teams missed pieces, the Patriots online needed time, the bangles online still

needs time. But you mentioned Linder Bomb, they're left tackle, Colton Miller. He's been kind of a stalwart staple there for a little bit. One of those guys, kind of the offensive Max Crosby, if you will, he's just been solid.

Nobody really talks about him, never really seen him in a big moment and then you think

about like a wide receiver one, should they don't have a wide receiver one. So Brock Bowers, I mean, he's already caught a hundred balls damn near in the season. So that'd be unbelievable. I'm not so sure Tom Brady hired Pete Carroll on purpose to take thing. I'm damn near thinking now at this moment in time, Brady brought in Pete Carroll, like,

hey, this guy's going to run our franchise into the ground and then we're going to get the first pick. Hey, that's close to so you know. Yeah, yeah.

“But when boom boom, Tom Brady might do, especially with this glass, we're seeing them”

in glasses a lot. Yeah, it's tinted. Not too tinted. Yeah, like cool. Yeah.

A lot of this one, right? Yeah. And I was like, let him know, hey, Tom, he did it. Mm-hmm. Very good.

Tommy. I saw snapping cards. Break up. Oh, yeah. Break it back.

Yeah. Breaking cards. At the UFC thing, it's like, live your life, Tom. Live your life. Tom's playing flag football in America now.

Yes. What? He's pumped. Yeah, smart. He's playing flag football in America.

Yeah. And I'll tell you what. He's taking his series. He better. What is your problem?

Why are you laughing? I read the same thing. I just hadn't visualized. You know, he's taking a couple of drawbacks until right then. Wow.

Well, he's owning an NFL team. So obviously, he's dialed in. Let's head over to the free agency funds. The Raiders want the time. They want him.

Do we expect that yesterday? What team surprised your most? We did. The Raiders. They spent a lot of money.

And I get a little prickly when people say, well, they overpaid for the center. Linder bomb.

“And it's like, no, that's the tax you have to pay when you're a crappy team.”

I call it the crappy team tax. And for years, the Jacksonville Jaguars had to overpaid to bring guys in. And guess what?

Linder bomb wasn't leaving Baltimore for a million dollars.

More is the guy from Salone, Iowa. Ty, my saying that. Solan Iowa who, you know, lived on a farm in Iowa and then comes to Baltimore. He's not going to sin city for the same amount of money to play for the decrepit Raiders.

No. You have to pay more. And that's what they did in spy tech at the assets. And he does it. I also want to clarify it's Linder bomb.

Not my people, Linder bomb. Is that right? We're doing that. That is correct. A lot of Linder bombs.

It's in your farm. That's all. That said, this is a bunch of proof. Debut said it. You pay because you have to bring in actual professionals.

And last year, they were a patchwork team with guys like Devon White and Jamal Adams and Eric Stokes and these are guys who are veterans. But guys who are kind of castaways from other teams. Now, these are players that other teams wanted. And they're choosing to go to Vegas.

I find it fascinating that they did spend that much money as Adam Shepter said yesterday. The most money ever paid to an interior offensive lineman. It's to a guy that the Baltimore Ravens did not pick up his fifth year option less than a year ago. But they value what that is. And in Rick Denison's offensive line room.

And when you talk about Clay Clink Kubiak and what they do with the running game. Center is an important piece. Essentially, it's Crosby for Linda bomb and a bunch of different guaranteed money that goes both ways. And we'll say we'll see where chips fall. But they're going to get Fernando Mendoza and all world center.

They did.

And yes, they paid a lot. But don't tell me they overpaid. That's the tax when you're a crummy team. Fernando Mendoza. Good call.

Good Dan Fernando. Tell me how perfect Fernando Mendoza is for the Las Vegas Raiders. And while you love him as the number one overall pick in while you are watching the entirety of the college football season.

Not just the first four games.

I got through four games. I watched seven to nine NFL games on Monday morning before I get on. Good. Because that is what it is. Test me down through the draft process.

But I've been able to see eight of Fernando. But what you have seen of Fernando thus far. I think you've got the big ten championships game now. I know the big ten title game. I know in his college football games are a little slower than he's NFL games.

You have to watch every night. But I understand what you're saying. I completely agree with that. But with what Fernando is as a player from what you've learned thus far. What do you like about what Las Vegas is done with the Raiders?

And why do you think there is a chance for immediate success? Maybe over there. Dan though for rookie quarterback. Yeah. So first I want to touch on the Raiders element and mainly Linda bomb and Jalen Naylor.

Okay. One. Linda bomb in this style of offense.

“There's a couple things you have to be as a center with Clint Kubiex run game offense.”

One. You have to be unbelievably athletic in space. That's that's a requirement. You can't just be like this big almost stiff. But still good.

But stiff offense of I'm in space. Okay. You got to be able to run and pull. Think of like a Chris Myers back in the day for the Houston Texans. Almost like a Kelsey not that extreme but like that.

Okay. To you got to be incredibly smart. The the center is a guy that's so often is telling the offensive line like, Hey, no, we're not going to that linebacker. We're going to that linebacker because that safety drop down week side.

We're changing our landmarks. You don't want to tax for an endom and dozer or any rookie quarterback with that. You want him to be able to we call him Siri CI R I call it run it. Don't think we're just calling this play run the play. Okay.

You got to have a center do that. Nailers a big deal in relation to men does it because nailers are speeds. They're guy that can go down the field. Make big plays with his speed. Okay.

The thing that I would probably say that men doze throws the best outside of the back shoulder. Fade is the deep ball you go to the big ten title game. It's the big post down the middle of the field. That kind of swings the game.

Start second half and the goal ball.

I do think he throws those really well. So I like that in specific to Fernando through the big ten title game. He's phenomenally tough. I think that his ability to not allow what's happening in the game. To impact what he's going to do on the next play is a great quality.

It's a great quality. I've talked about he's very good operating the RPO. He's outstanding throwing the back shoulder feed.

“I think he's very physically tough and mentally tough.”

And then he's been clutching all the games that I've watched late in games. He has had to make a throw not all the games. Mostly games. He said to make a throw that was meaningful and he's made it. And so I would still tell you.

There we go. No. That was good though. You don't have to do that here. I would still tell you that on tape.

I think Ty Simpson's tape is more impressive. Have you watched the entire season yet? No. Okay enough. Period.

Just watch the football season. I'm talking. You asked me to question. I made certain questions. He did say he did say yesterday.

Ty Simpson against the Wisconsin backup. So it was dynamite. You know, Ty Simpson's Wisconsin tape is great. I'll say this. I'm being dead series.

Ty Simpson was six for the jets would sprint to the podium at number two. Oh, I would say six four. I agree. If he was seven. How tall is Fernando?

Sixty five. If I was six or six. I'd be dark and opening day for the Yankees. Heavy so cool. Yeah.

You would. You better do what I would. Yeah, you would. I would. You would.

You would. You would. Could you imagine what I was. I was six six. Yeah.

You put three inches on me. Forty five pounds, maybe. Judge you. Oh. Yeah.

Exactly. What we're saying is that you wasted your height. Yeah. Oh. Oh.

Yeah. Yeah. Great. Yeah. Twelve.

Twelve me. Twelve years of the career. But on that note.

“Can you please not talk about the college quarterback thing until you watch all the games?”

You literally just asked me about it. No, you're the one and said, okay. It's the time for me to say this. That's what you said. That is what you said.

No, you said. Talk to me about for an endlement. Since the tape is better though. Simpson's tape is phenomenal. I'm only.

I think thanksgiving. Shakes. Enough. Stop doing that. I do think that Mendoza will be the first pick because I'm not a big old.

I mean, everyone is saying that. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up. Let's get out of the fun. Hey, Tony. Hey, Tony. Don't.

Don't. You didn't need to do that. I didn't need to do that. Sorry. Hi.

Thank you from the fun zone. Sorry, Dad. I mean, so fun fire is on today. Yeah, there's a little sauce down there. I'm too out of shape for you to be coming out of here.

Yeah, he's in much better. Yeah.

I mean, he put on a 14 year old kid who's never seen a basketball in a hoop display earlier.

I mean, I've never seen a full certain tie. I mean. Yeah.

I mean, full dripping and sweat down her lofty.

Oh, basketball. Oh, another one. Oh, baseball. Yeah. I mean, we were, it was unbelievable watching him.

Then we love you. You two strikes. We also love the man joining us right now. He said it into his 14th season. He'll be a first ball at Hall of Famer.

We think. Oh, no. You know, should be a first ball at Hall of Famer. And that should mean something. Because that means that you have separated yourself from your class, from the sport and from everybody is being one of the pillars of our league.

A person that needs to be remembered whenever the story of the league is told this guy is certainly that just an Ohio football folk who's going on to do great things with incredible work ethic.

And now the whole world knows him as Taylor's football man. Ladies and gentlemen, Travis Kelsey. Yeah. We'll go. How are you doing?

I'm going to run out of baby. Okay. I'm going to run out of the chiefs are making moves. Yes, you are. Yes.

You want to make it moves. We got bread, vegan, any read going and getting the Super Bowl MVP. You get it. Kenneth Walker is now member of the Kansas City Chiefs, which is weird because every good player seemingly always ends up at the Kansas City Chiefs would have never expected the Super Bowl MVP to be a Kansas Chief. Let's talk about your energy right now.

Hey, first of all, love to see how happy you are, dude. Love to see how. Yeah. Not only when we talk to you, but new heights and everything else. You're clearly enjoying the hell out of your life.

We are happy for you. Tell me about this energy you have for coming back to football though. When did you ever think about stopping this year? Feels like it wasn't a real combo this year. Maybe as opposed to some years past.

Yeah. I'm not going to lie. It was pretty short and brief. And the chiefs knew where I was the entire time on it.

“I think you always need to take a step back.”

You always need to take a step back.

Breathe. Let the emotions of the season settle down and see where the body is and things like that. But, man, I'm still in love with this game. I'd still love going to work, putting on the pads, grinding it out and just, you know, playing the game. And I think my best opportunity was playing for the Chiefs yet again and running this thing back with the Pat Mahomes and Coach Reed.

And got my guy Eric B. Enemy coach B. Enemy back. There's a lot of pieces in Kansas City that I just, I absolutely love and I can't wait to get back in the building with him. I'm pumped to hear that as football fan the entire football world is excited to watch you continue to play football in this historic career that you're having. I think whenever you're on new heights talking about B. Enemy with your brother, you said I can't wait to see him back in the building. And I don't know if you saw our response immediately afterwards, but it was like, well, what's he doing?

Yeah, the thing is, what's I started day in Taylor started understanding what Easter eggs were? You started kind of just placing those things all over the, all over the planet and everybody starts to catch on. Yeah, that was a, that was a slip of I didn't realize I said that. Okay, it was good Easter egg though if you were doing that in mind. Let's talk about, can we talk about Taylor for a second?

Of course, always.

I never want to do that strictly because I want you to know that we respect the shit I want you done for football.

We also appreciate the fact that you're representing football to the world to a lot of people. So we, we love you for that. Never want to take advantage of the relationship you're in.

“But every time I talk about you guys, I think he've heard me say this, like two greats together is good for society.”

I feel like you two can motivate each other. Now, I know she's biggest star on earth, so I'm not saying that I think you are same as her. Yeah, right. We all don't understand the situation with Taylor, you do too. Yeah, exactly you do as well, which is why I think you were the perfect person for her. But you watching her do her thing and continue to move and move and move and work.

Is that certainly helped you think through this process? I've like, do I still want to go? I'm getting older body doing that. Do you think that is kind of weird? Without a doubt, she has, we share the same love for what we do and we've had this, you know, fortunately we've had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions. And it's just, it's amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about,

keep finding new melodies and things like that. And on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does. And yeah, of course that's a motivation. That's motivating for anybody to see, let alone, you know, my fiance. And knowing that I'm going through something where I'm trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me.

Something like that definitely motivates me to say, you know what, I'm not done either. You know, I still got some ideas in the back of my mind. I still got some juice left to play this game, so without a doubt that. How is the training been going? You look good. Hey, John looks good right now. You're glowing. Yeah, we've got this thing nice and shaved up.

“No, I think I've been having a few too many garage beers right now, never too many.”

But, you know, I need to get back into the, into the gym and then really, you know, hunker down and give, get back to the craft, man. I think the biggest thing was coming back was that we got to be even Hungary then we've been before and talking to Pat talking to Coach Reed and the guys.

It's, it's a pretty, there's a lot of dog mentality right now to get this thi...

And, and that mentality itself is already kind of motivating me to, to get to where I need to be during the season. Hungary Chiefs team is obviously something that we have seen in the past, have great success. Go to diagnostic level and then now sportsbooks still have you guys up high. But national conversation is like, you know, especially with what's going on in the AFC. Oh, my God, the Raiders has spent 280 million yesterday.

Oh, my God, Jim Harbaugh's got me Daniel out there at the chart. Yeah, the Broncos bone next. I would just say it's a championship. Oh, the chiefs are out.

“That is kind of the notion. Have you, you guys have kind of understood that heard that?”

It expect that like, is that something that is kind of motivating the boys over there? I assume we'll have to be. We're seeing, we're seeing what the world's doing right now. We're seeing how everybody's reacting, but we know we got the nucleus in Kansas City. We got some, we got some big hitters in Kansas City and we got Coach Reed.

We're never out of this thing. Well, we know the divisions getting getting pretty competitive across the board.

You know, that's only going to make it, make it for us to get better throughout the season and be the best team we can be at the end of it. So proud of you, man. We've heard all though. We hear it all, though. Oh, I like that. I like you guys got a little pettiness in there. Yeah, need to keep a little pettiness in spite of that. You want to keep grinding, you know. Maybe maybe some Easter eggs in here. Yeah, maybe we feel a little high school.

We're doing some breaks. You know what I mean? You're the man. Thank you for joining us, dude. Congrats. Always. Always appreciate the time. Good to see you guys, man.

“Can you please always tune in? Can you please post the renovations that your mom is doing?”

Please. You already know it. I didn't even know she was doing these things. She needed to gotta come, you know, screw some door hinges in. She could have just called me, but I guess she's doing a big match of renovations. What a time these two Ohio boys. Okay. Just don't have a ball player, baby. Mom's renovation at House TMZ breaking the biggest news of the week. What a time to be alive. You've earned it all, brother. You've earned it all. Good luck to you guys.

And we'll have some garage beers to your 14th year. You're the man. My man. We'll see you guys. Ladies and gentlemen, to go Travis Kelsey. Yeah.

Okay. So let's head to the free agency funds out in a man who travels always out to Kansas City, you know.

And that's a lot of close connections out there. Shrags. Were you here in the same thing about the chiefs? The Travis just said basically a bunch of hungry dogs out there.

“That's why they made this decision so quickly.”

Well, it sure seems like everyone else has moved on from the chiefs and they hear it all. They really do and it starts with number 15 under center. And as he's rehabbing and getting back, he is watching and listening all. And I think that is the under known or undersold piece about Patrick Mahomes. He's got that same Michael Jordan chip on his shoulder where up.

Here's in season all in LeBredford Smith might have said, "What? I'm going to create it in my head." And we'll make sure that we'll be able to get that last day and it's done. It starts with my homes. It goes to Kelsey, but around that entire team. When you lose Trent McDuffby and you lose Jalen Watson. And you get all these people saying, "Well, the time has passed. Are they a Super Bowl threat?"

Or are they going to miss the playoffs again? There's a lot of pride there. So you see Kelsey with a glint in his eye right there talking about Eric B. Enemy coming back. There could be a different energy in that room now, a little bit more intensity, perhaps as what Eric B. Enemy is known for. And Andy Reed still believes he's the best coach in football. So as a fan of football watching that, I'm excited to see Travis Kelsey back.

If I am a Kansas City Chiefs fan, I am jumping through the screen excited to see that he's got that energy in that passion and that motivation. And clearly there is a chip where maybe a mountain on the shoulders of that Chiefs kingdom right now. I think for the Chiefs to it's a different era. There are no longer the hunter hunted to the hunter. You know, like their teams in the AFC that have candidly over the last two years been better football teams. I would sit here and tell you that Broncos have lasted two years.

Now two years ago, they weren't at the end result better. But I would say that because of the close wins, you would sit there and be like the Broncos will probably be better team over the last two years. Houston's the better team. Obviously, New England's coming along. Jacksonville was a better team. This is what Kelsey wants to hear to keep going. But that's really cool.

And losing, I think they lost three starters out of their secondary place here with Watson, McDuffie and Brian Cook gone. Now they sign a lowly Gilman. So it's just a different version for Kansas City legitimately. We've talked about it for years, maybe 18 months or two years. I think it's a different world now because they get to kind of relish being the hunter other than the hunt did. I'd also say this. They got to play a different style of football in offense.

I think they finally came to a realization. This, you're like, oh, we can't just rely on Patrick all the time to do the most wild things and bail us out.

Like, yes, Kenneth Walker has to carry the football. They've got to get more balanced.

They've got to get more physical.

Yeah, I like that. Thank you for the breakdown. Kenneth Walker coming over there.

“Obviously a massive word deal for them. I think Travis Kelsey is probably pretty excited. We talked about them being the hunter and not the hunted anymore.”

Still the odds are on favorite to win the division. Yeah, you see what? So a draft game is currently plus 165. Chargers make all moves. Okay, sounds good. Broncos, you want to say, Oh, yeah. Yes, we writers. Oh, that's funny. 281 million got a new quarterback. That's cool. Do the chiefs still play football over there. That is what the sports folks are playing.

Our saying sports folks are saying you're going to have to show us because the things that have been said about the chiefs ever the last two, three years. Have been made a, they don't win game. It's not pretty. They don't win pretty. It's very close. It's kind of an ugly style football.

And we always leave, uh, saying are the cheese. Geez, or dead.

There's a couple of us that was standing up on a microphone and say, I know it didn't look good. And I know they couldn't complete a pass somehow for three quarters, mask quarterback of all the time. They get a win. We move on. The chiefs is still the chiefs. I will say that. And then it gets loud and I'll tell you last year. I actually thought I said this thing. Thank you, too. The chiefs ain't the chiefs anymore. But I think a reloaded squad now with Kenneth Walker.

With it sounds like the enemy back in the building is very good for Travis Kelsey and I can see chiefs team. Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback, it's like maybe the sports folks are actually feeling how I'm feeling, which is why not a motivated hungry squad over there in Kansas City debunk. Yeah, we, we show, see, and I was right there with you for a while last season up to the point where I had to put that exclamation point. On the whiteboard, I didn't want to do it. But I saw that they were dead and I saw what was going on around and we talked about everything with the different teams building up.

This is why I so tough to, you know, maintain the dynasty and they've been the dynasty already.

“Can they go on another run and win a couple more? Absolutely. My home still there. What will be his timeline? Will it be healthy week one?”

So it's still a lot of questions right now for the chiefs, what if Mahomes healthy Kelsey's healthy, you mentioned you're losing three guys who got paid. If we had you see those are three good ball players in their secondary. You still got a great coaching staff. So all the pieces are still there, but it's tough to go up there and get back to the top. To dance, but I think it kind of is shocking. Like the last two years, it was the offense as fault. The last two years the defense has been top five both years and that's spags.

And yes, they did lose three guys out of the secondary, but I think spags will probably have the defense right again. But yet Patrick Mahomes has been their leading rusher. He was their leading rusher last year and over the last three years I believe is their leading rusher cumulative. So like it has to change. It has to be defensive or better on the offensive set of ball and it all starts with the offensive line. They drafted left tackle in the first round last year was pretty good there, but they still need to get better on the offensive.

There was a bunch of stats that they were dropping on the sports center free agency countdown with Laura. They were dropping like. Patrick Mahomes has been the leading rusher for this. They have a George Perrush and this and everything else everything happened. It was like a bunch of information that was coming out quick and it's like that is why everybody was saying they were asked last year.

And then once they finally did just kind of get eliminated, which was the case. They were playing for nothing last multiple weeks of the season Travis Kelsey's ass still out there.

Yeah, that was your 13 for him with Gardner and Chris Alutica. Boom still got a score almost died. Gardner almost got him a win over Raiders chargers. I forget which one was a variant. It was about a yard off. You know, this is a difference between like patch my homes and who was the quarterback it was. Well, what was the result? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was like this far off from hitting Travis for like a fourth down either fourth quarter or something like that.

But if he completes that, it's a game winner. The chiefs win a some wild thing and it was like in that play was the depiction. Like that's the difference between like homes right there. And again, it's not going to be on the team. It gets Travis Kelsey was playing these games that didn't matter at all. Travis Kelsey was potentially risking his entire off season being surgery in rehab with everything he has going on his life at this point with wondering whether or not he was going to play another year.

Not only do you play a nose completely pointless games. Okay, there are pointless games granted. He paid to play an all of them. But the chiefs are playing in pointless games and he was maybe done.

“I think that votes well for the culture, especially if he's coming back.”

He says he's had a couple of garage mayors. Why? Maybe some waste games. Why? You've seen me on a microphone everywhere that I go. I have to have a good time. Why? I'll go down TGA. Why?

If you have one of them balled to drinks. Why? Why? What are they calling? Why? Transfusion.

Why? They didn't really know what it was. Why? So I'll get back in shape though.

But him making that announcement early. First day of freedom is the frenzy I'm coming back.

Helps the chiefs out a lot. Yeah. Which is what a lot of the Pittsburgh Steelers fans are saying about her. Okay. If we're doing this, let's do it in there.

And then Aaron last week said, well, I don't have contracts. What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? I'll tell you what needs to be done. Baseball needs to not stop. Okay.

We're staring down a potential work stopage in like a year or whatever. And MLB. And I am just now. And it's been around a long time. Some would say, some would say very long time.

Very long time. I've seen the black and white time. I know this is way back in the day. I know baseball is really old. I'm getting an baseball all the way in the baseball.

World baseball classic is spectacular. We need baseball to continue to go up and right.

Hope that we don't need to forecast in the future that this whole thing is go...

Because it feels like it is a wagon. Last night, we get another huge win. We don't cover. Last night, we get a huge win tie. World baseball classic delivering right now for all of those.

Yeah, it is.

I mean, obviously our games are always going to deliver.

But every game, like you, it's, it's not just BS to say all of these countries. Really, really care about this and they want to put on for their country. Last night, I mean, we've, we've heard skiing talk about how impressive and, you know, how important it is. But early in often, you know, Captain America Aaron Judge was an absolute strike to cut down Joey Ortiz at third base.

And he responds in the next inning by hitting an apple to run home or to get USA on the board. This is kind of been the thing with all their games there. I don't want to say they're tight early. But they obviously feel the tremendous amount of pressure on them. So for Judge, you know, to come in and do that early.

That was huge. And then Roman Anthony, they're getting thrown out early and looking like maybe the slowest man in America. He hits a massive three run Homer to put us up five nothing at that point. It looked like we were going to roll and luckily, you know, we're talking about biggest stars in Kansas City. Bobby Witt Jr.

Shortstop for the Kansas City Royals. We said this when we were at their training camp. This guy is just special. And the amount of plays he made last night, just looking like an absolute wizard now. It, it helps when you have Alejandro Kirk who is one of the biggest wobble bodies in the MLB running down to first base.

So he had plenty of time to throw him out. But sing two of these games in or two of these plays in that game. I mean, these are massive moments.

“That's what you listen to the broadcasters in these types of like Mexico has multiple MLB all stars.”

And so this isn't just like another one of these teams who it's a fun story. So you give teams extra outs like they will hurt you. We weren't given them any extra outs last night with Paul Schains. He was absolutely tremendous. This looked like it was the middle of June.

All his stuff was working. He got, I want to say he topped out at a hundred. So like the atmosphere, the energy, the environment. He kind of alluded to it pretty game.

Like this was probably one of the biggest most important games he started in his career.

Maybe outside of the national championship. And he had all his stuff work in early. It was one of those things where the pitch count limits him. If Schains would have been able to throw six, seven innings. Like we would have beat the hell out of Mexico.

He probably would have had 15 strikeouts. He had seven through four, which was a team USA record. But just tremendous stuff out of Schains. The bullpen, you know, little shoty later. We had a guy who's a starting pitcher.

Pitching long relief. He gave up a couple homers to Jared Durran who is, you know, and all star for the Red Sox. He was very good. But ultimately, this is the kind of game we needed.

He goes very, very good. And, you know, we went five, three.

“We are three, you know, in pool in our pool.”

And we play tonight against Italy to potentially, you know, go for no and get that top seed. Uh-uh, shut down to La Vaza. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Let's press this tonight. Good night, see, Puerto Rago.

Okay, as the USA boys continue their dominance of this pool play for World Baseball Classic. No one McClain is sitting there by his talking about. Oh, yeah. They're saying he's a guy. Former quarterback at Oklahoma State as well.

Oh, really, we didn't. Uh, we didn't. This is tough for him. Metz. Okay.

Yeah, Steve Cohen says, you're coming on over here, but he's what you're doing. I will say this. That Dominican team scares me a little bit. They're having a lot more fun, everybody else. They're having fun.

It's a party on the diamond. I know it was title plays. Oh, back to. How about Austin Wells? They're telling me this guy just got recruited.

They're going to go play. If he doesn't have the same buzz as the rest of the team. They're hitting dogs too. I mean, they're all talking crazy down there. And the every single thing is getting celebrated.

As a sure button. Yeah.

“I think I found the style of baseball that I like.”

Yeah. However, the Dominican Republic plays baseball. That's what I like. We got dog shots. I mean, one dog after.

They're hitting them. Yeah. I'm a stadium. And they're pimping everyone. So pretty.

I mean, everyone is hitting. We got a jacket. We got a chain. We got a long trip around these bases. Let's let this picture feel.

Every last step.

I mean, there's Rick Flair coming around first place.

And then there's full celebration. It is spectacular. We're playing over there in Japan. Anything good happens. Yeah.

The place. I mean, it is. I like what baseball's doing right. Yeah. It was a way game for the boys down there in Houston in Philadelphia.

Yeah. And that was another, you know, thing. Yeah. I was wise important. Do you know how to say that?

To the boys. To the boys. I heard last night. They said on broadcast. The Negro came in and said, boys.

Tonight might feel like in a way game. Yeah. And Houston Texas. That's for a bigger discussion. Yeah.

And I, but we didn't go win this thing. And I'll tell you what we did.

We did.

Hell yeah, I did. Yeah. It's 1250. We got seven minutes to a heart out. And I feel like that's the perfect time to send it over to the free agency.

Fun zone for fits from yesterday.

You know, whenever you talk about free agency and money being spent, we always talk physical.

But Shregs said, hey, how about we talk about the culture fits that may be took place yesterday. And what people are trying to establish shrugs.

“What's your big takeaway from a fits perspective of the first day of free agency frenzy?”

Malique Willis wasn't going to be for everybody. Malique Willis wasn't going to be the starting quarterback for everybody. Malique Willis makes a lot of sense for the Miami dolphins. The money is fine. The money is not crazy.

The money is not something that the dolphins are going to lose sleep over. But there is no group of people in the entire NFL who know more about that quarterback than Jeff Haffley. John Erick Sullivan and John Robinson. So John Robinson, it was the general manager of the Tennessee Titans with Mike Vrable and Tennessee when they drafted Malique Willis.

John Robinson has been in the wilderness for the last couple of years. He was hired a couple months ago by the Miami dolphins to be a part of their front office. So now you have the guy who drafted Malique Willis, the GM who was a part of the group that brought him in last time with the Packers. And then you have the defensive coordinator who saw Malique Willis in person every day for two years.

All three of them vouching for Malique Willis. You better believe that the Miami dolphins have conviction and that they want him as their quarterback. I could tell you that Malique Willis went through the, not Malique Willis. Jeff Haffley went through the head coaching hiring process.

And part of his plan when he presented it to Troy Eggman, and to Stephen Ross, and to Danny Silman and to that entire dolphins brass, was we need to make a change at quarterback. And I think I have the right guy. So this one, as far as everyone says,

well he hasn't done anything as done squatting the league.

What's going to happen when he's in Buffalo and December? Well, those are all valid questions. There is no group of people in the entire NFL who know Malique Willis more than the triumphant of men. Half Lee, John Eric Sullivan and John Robinson more than those three guys. Yeah, I would say that fit makes sense for Miami.

My not work for Arizona. My not work for Pittsburgh. It made sense for Miami. We loved him yesterday. Tell me fresh out of all.

Yeah, he was awesome. The league is good nickname too. Hey, league looks good.

“I saw a lot of people in the comments doing that.”

My Miami should be a fantastic thing. How about you, Dana? What about on the field? Any good fits that happen yesterday? Where money was spent?

Yeah, plenty of good fits. I do like Malique in the timeline. I like some of the past catchers. The addition of likely in New York, one day on Mike Evans.

I want to show everybody though, Pat. We want to get to that right. So let's. Yeah, we want to get to that right now. I'm going.

I'm going to my. Where you going? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going.

Before I do that, let me get to my kids stuff.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up.

I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I'm going to set that up. I haven't 600 trades.

Is that not good? I mean, it's out of 500. Yeah. 600 out of 500. Yeah.

We actually turned the governor on so it wouldn't go up above 602. There is a chance of that. Let's talk a little bit about this for you, Mr. Friendsie. A lot of money spent yesterday. We haven't heard damn things today.

I'm going to set that up. This has been a pretty slow day too. We did not expect this.

“Why do you think that is the case in order your thoughts on what comes next?”

Well, it was the mad dash to get to these guys that they've been talking about on buying. They put their boards together. Okay, we got to go. We got to do it.

And it was fun. And everyone gets involved. And now it's who's going to make the next move. We had a night to sleep on it. Let's reassess the next year.

To me, Trey Hendrickson obviously is the biggest name still on the board. We'll see how that goes down. Adam Shefter has been all over at all morning. We'll see what his asking price is. And we'll see if a team will match that asking price.

It's also which teams that have been laying in the weeds are going to make a move. It's actually very interesting to me. Three of the four teams that didn't make a move. The Eagles, the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos who didn't hire, who didn't sign anybody from outside their organization all were playoff teams last year.

And two of the three won Super Bowls in the last two years. So you start thinking about, okay, the Tennessee Titans. They went and spent 289 and a half million dollars. And we're treating Wandell Robinson like his Jerry Rice over there. At some point, it's the team that just retain their people and bring them back and think long-term.

Tennessee is interesting, though, because there is this new fever and this love. But if you're a fan of New York sports and you see, you know, well, they're bringing all the labels guys. They're bringing all the solos guys.

I can be critical here in a way.

“I'm just saying, well, those were two of the worst teams in football.”

The last two. Oh, friends, don't go. There's a common sense in this entire team. That said. Alante Taylor, hell of a signing.

Good player. He had a big market there. And then you like the guys that they brought in because they do fit the culture. And you know that Sala and Dable and Aaron Whitecott and who's the defensive line coach. Who now gets back to your main Johnson and on the defensive line here.

Who's the other defensive line and they got from the Jazz. John Franklin Myers, who was there two years ago with the Jets. They get guys. They know. So you're trying to build a culture at all this, but slow down.

Let's not build a monument in Nashville, just yet. It's got to actually happen on the field. And day one of free agency. We don't crown Super Bowl winners. I wish we would because we kind of did yesterday.

Everybody that signed somebody to big money. We were so happy for that. Incredible. Maybe I'll continue to live up those highs as well for them. Raiders.

I can't wait for them when Super Bowl. See he walks to the last year. So maybe they were top five. Spenders are able to do it. But once you do get your team assembled, then free agency becomes.

“You know, how do we fill the gaps in this entire thing?”

Let's go over to the man who's been on the inside of it all. Senior NFL insider from ESPN. A man who we watch work yesterday. What a chaotic existence. But certainly a weapon.

Adam Shefter. How do you kind of see this day to a free agency frenzy going with not a lot of action? Well, Pat, you heard Peter talk about tray Hendrickson. That's the biggest name that's out there right now. He's waited an awful long time to get to this spot in free agency.

He's been talking to a lot of teams. Obviously wants to get to a certain point. And the reason there's no deal right now is because up to this time. He hasn't. So we'll see if a deal for tray Hendrickson can materialize every team out there.

Could use a password. And there are certain teams that you might not expect to be in that market. That's subtle. Like the Philadelphia Eagles lose yesterday. Their pass rusher to the Carolina Panthers.

Maybe Philadelphia calls you don't know. Dallas still hasn't built that need to a great degree. They went traded for a Sean Gary. So it's hard to say which team is going to jump in and which team isn't. But we know there's a great player out on the market and tray Hendrickson.

Of course, we have the quarterbacks that are still out there.

Colour Murray has not been released from Arizona as we discussed in the first hour.

They're holding on to him to a certain deadline this week. Maybe tomorrow for PM Eastern and Geno Smith in Las Vegas. Also has not been released from the Raiders yet. They have said that they would release him, barring a trade. We'll see what materializes which you know Smith between now and 4 PM Eastern tomorrow.

But he'll be leaving Las Vegas. Colour Murray will be leaving Arizona and the places that you look at right now. They have openings at the quarterback position. Minnesota is the obvious one for everybody, right? Everybody knows they're going to be bringing in another quarterback.

They've been linked to Colour Murray. They've been linked to Geno Smith Colour Murray. Is the logical favorite there in Minnesota for if and when he does get released.

We'll see what happens with Geno Smith.

He's played before in the New York market.

The jets could be an option in time. We'll see how that works out. But those are some of the moves we're waiting on. tray Hendrickson, the biggest name. Some of the other names out there.

We still could get a Romeo dobsonning. They're in the course of this show. Caleb on chasing. Still out there. Kate Nellus.

The Falcons linebacker. The punter market's dried up. I know. I just wrote the board. They've all been paid.

Yesterday was a big day for the ball kicking community.

“Honestly, watching those punters sign for four million five million six million dollars.”

First day signing. That's not like, hey, we have money left. No. That's like, hey, let's go ahead and get this accomplished. Get this done.

You're part of the culture. And I respect that for the punters as a whole. We'll keep an idea your Twitter account as news continues to break around the NFL. I do believe there was a deal. Shefty that I think probably got texted to you.

If you could put that up on your Twitter accounts.

You could do the cool glass break. Give it to me. All right. Thank you. Shefty.

We shall wait now for the glass to break. Because there has been a move that this room will certainly be intrigued by. Okay. A move that is not only a big name, but also a team that needs a missing voice. Ooh.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time as we sit in wait. As maybe it wasn't our internet. Hmm. Wow. It was the thingy.

It was. Maybe it was the thingy. Maybe you know we're taking a lot of shrapnel on our Wi-Fi. Our show had no problem yesterday. Maybe a little audio stuff.

He's less than three feet away for months. Maybe a little audio stuff happened over there. The suspense is killing the free agency fund zone. But there is certainly a signing that is taking place. And do we have the tweet up?

Oh, hello. I get it. Give me a moment. You got to confirm. Got to cross the teas and dot the ice.

Get the money. Yeah. It is the photo with the tweet. Yeah. Look at it.

We're watching. Yeah. You're putting it right. The lines are signing as a project. We won.

We won. We won. We won. Did you put the thing up? Did you put the thing?

I won. Yeah. You got. You got. You got the tweet.

They too free agency. We got one. Ah. The tweet. It was a tweet like he was a bird coming out of his mouth.

I say a pecheco is going to the lines. Dimo. One half a sonic and knuckles in a backfield for MCDC's Detroit Lions football team. Jared Goffs, a quarterback. Who are the running backs?

Well, as Gibbs and Dimo. Sonic and knuckles. All of a sudden, Gibbs though. Starts a historic run. Every time he gets the ball, seemingly going for a touchdown.

Dimo. His carry start to dwindle down the stretch. It starts to become not just a sonic. Knuckles mostly. Just sonic.

Knuckles where you've been. They lose and have itably demo then. What's his market? What's he look like? Well, they get him in Houston.

Now, are they going to continue a two-back system? Well, yes. They certainly are. Gibbs will continue to be sonic and they bring in a knuckles. A guy who actually tries to beat up the ground with every single step that he takes.

Isaiah Pecheco going to the Detroit Lions feels like a perfect fit. Love everything about the move. Now, once again, he's just going to take touches away from Gibbs. And are they going to end up doing the Gibbs show down the stretch? And just if he gets hurt, then Pecheco, balancing that is a part of the entire process.

“That's why having two running backs is certainly good because you got two guys fresh.”

But what if both of them get hot? Who do you keep? Who do you lose? It's happening with Team USA right now. Yeah.

At the short stop position. Because we got an abundance of talent, but only one person can play the position. Kind of started to happen with Detroit last year with Sonic and Knuckles. What happened again with Pecheco? They're saying, we don't care.

We just want to add another great player to the backfield. What are your thoughts, Dimo? He got up until last year with Detroit. It was really balanced. Like Monty would start a game.

Gibbs would start a game. They would exchange pretty much every series. And then obviously Gibbs became that lead back because he was so dynamic. But he does have some some abs and flows in his game. Sometimes he'll kind of disappears well.

So I bring Pecheco in there to kind of be that all balance. I said it yesterday. I'm a big believer and I run the back by committee. I do think you need a lead back. Gibbs will be that guy anticipate.

And he'll get a big check pretty soon. But you need a physical runner like Pecheco. A lot of people I'm sure casuals would have been much more excited about this time. Maybe two years ago. But I think he's still a very, very good running back.

And I think it's a good sign of Detroit. Chiefs bring in Kenneth Walker. They send Isaiah Pecheco to Detroit.

“I think he'll fit in well up their economy.”

Yeah, definitely. Especially when you think about how high his knees goes. It feels like everything we talked about Pecheco. It's how angry he is at the ground. Like I couldn't even imagine what MCDC is thinking.

Oh yeah, I found a guy who can't eat his kneecap. Yeah. He actually can't. It's too strong. It's too strong potentially.

You have to love this up in Detroit. Absolutely. I love everything about it.

We have to get back to ground and pound football first.

And then play action second last year. It wasn't that way. We were controlling games because of that. And now I expect them to get a couple more line men. And sure that thing up and get back to MCDC style football.

Yeah, I know you guys have lost a couple legendary offense of line men.

Yeah, I catch them out of town.

They were great players. It's a bit long. It's too strong. Oh, my God. How dare you?

I'm just costing you. I agree. It was. It's just the truth. I can't remember.

Pecheco is he now. As he asked her cheek. No. Some of the locals are back. Check out.

Pecheco when he cheeks. Yeah. I think it would be the cheeko. Yeah. They're not going to be ass in Pechecs.

They're not going to be that this year.

“That's what people were saying about Sonic and Knuckles.”

Up into Troy for a certain time period of the year last year. Yeah. We are just reporting what people were saying. We did not make it up. Believe me.

We wish we did. I know. We did not. That would have been very strong for the news. The internet is funny.

They are on it. They will never miss. So they say, someone like a Knuckles more like ass in cheeks and boy. Big pop on all of us. So it made its way on to the show.

Yeah. And then all of a sudden though, Sonic and Knuckles are coming back and dominating again. And then it's like ass in cheeks is gone by the wayside. We are now back to who we thought we were going to be. That all kind of happened when MCDC started calling the plays.

That is correct. And who's calling the plays over? Let's go to the free agency funds and a man who predicted that the Detroit Lions would be dead last year and Peter Schreger and Dan Orlovsky certainly has thoughts on every offense.

“What is this signing mean and what are your thoughts on the Lions start with you Schreger?”

Well, I love Pacheco. He's got to stay healthy. He was hurt a lot of the time the last two years. So he wants super bowls.

His first two years in the pros.

The first NFL player ever to win. To win Super Bowl starting at running back and back to back years to start a career. So he already has those big game experiences. Drew Pet Singh is the biggest question mark last year before the season started. I came on this very show and boldly said the Lions were not going to make the playoffs.

I caught so much hell for it. I almost, you know, crawled to Detroit and said Bedford forgiveness. They didn't make the playoffs and up and down the offense was. They had big explosions. But it wasn't the same thing without Ben Johnson.

So insert Drew Pet Singh who the response to his hiring. By Lions fans was not kind was not widely plotted. But I would tell you Drew Pet Singh is one of the more respected young offensive coaches in the league. Despite the facts Arizona's offense did not hit expectations the last couple years. He has looked at as one of these wonderkins as well.

And if Jan Campbell and Brad Holmes and that organization knowing that they have a quarterback in Jared Golf who is not getting any younger. And a wider receiver and a monrosseam brown and Penny Sue will only offensive line not getting any younger. If they decided that this was the man. I would give them the benefit of the doubt. You add Pecheco in there.

You now have two very tough running good players in Jamir Gives and Isaiah Pecheco. But I do wonder is that a downgrade of whatever or an upgrade from David Montgomery who's given them so much over so many years. Yeah, David Montgomery and Gibbs were a great tag team. But it did clearly become the Gibbs show at the end of that. And I assume they're going to continue to commit to that day and your thoughts on you know you lose Ben Johnson.

And it feels like the Ben Johnson effect was a felt immediately in Chicago. They're trying to chase that still on the offensive side.

“What did you see from MC DC as a play caller that maybe you like for the Lions going forward or what do you think they need to do more of?”

Well, I think with Dan there's an identity that he wants. He wants to be playing football the way his personality is like that big physical. We do what we want when we want style of offense and they lost that last year because they lost they weren't nearly as good on the offensive line. That's starting point for them. Two years ago and three years ago when they were like down that magical run and Ben was cooking up these awesome plays.

It in part was because they're offensive ones the best unit in football. And so yeah, they could run the ball in third and seven and it was cool and everyone was like, wow, this is awesome. So fourth and one is a guaranteed first down running the football. I think we haven't talked about it, but they signed Cade Maze if I'm accurate from Carolina. So you you you bring in Cade Maze.

Tate Rattledges is going to be a second year player for them that really played pretty good football for them. So now it's like you feel better about their offensive line now Taylor Decker who has been there for. Gosh, a decade now, I believe they have parted ways, so they're going to have to find a left tackle. But I do think the interior of their offensive line will be better than it was last year. And I think that will allow them to get back to football.

I'll touch on pets in the little bit because calling money and I football, we've done it a couple of times together. I think he's really good in the run game personally. I think he's he's really good with the diversity of their run. He loves using title and tight ends obviously in Detroit. And the part is a big part of that that the the asterisk that I would attach to it is they're going to need people in that building that are really good designing their past game.

I've always felt even in Arizona that the past game concepts.

They weren't as creative as I want them to be. And so that's going to be a big deal in Detroit. A little bit more spark a little bit more possessed. Yeah, just how you get the the formations, the motions, the shifts, the timings, the releases, all that stuff.

The plays are plays are plays are plays.

How you're getting to them is that's that's the secret sauce for these play cars and play designers.

“I think that's an important role in Detroit.”

And then Johnson was the best at it.

Doesn't look the part that's basically what he's he's a he's a shorter guy.

He doesn't look like 55 gold guy. Yeah, this is not a guy. He's not looking like Sean McVey does. Yeah, I think science fancy a visual of him and they see that he was at the Cardinals. Come on, man.

And they feel like they stepped down. That's what we were saying. Well, we were saying, we were making a bear call there, man. We were saying it about Mike McDaniel. That was like the final thing that I think happened before he got hired as MCDC.

Game of big wedgie and hung him by his underwear on the coat rack on the back of his door. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say that. You might be my baby, Bjornem.

We can't be that out. That would be interesting. Yeah, exactly. So they're whispering to each guy. That's a family.

We understand, but just MCDC is so large. So if he's going to be sitting there next to a 55 ball guy who's the offense coordinator, I think that's a good piece of journalism where we need to, you know, what's that? What's that? Now we're talking about it. I'm assuming petting you saying, hey, look, I got to be in the booth. I'm not standing next to you.

I'm going up top. I can see the field a little better from up there. It's a great one.

I think it looks like a football guy.

What do you mean? Everybody's saying he doesn't look like the part. What do you mean, Tracy doesn't look like a football guy?

“I mean, is it because he took a picture next to MCDC?”

It's not said next to anybody that picture. Yeah, he looks eight feet tall on that photo. He does. That's actually some good thing. Looks good on that photo. It's good. I like him. You're saying people killed him.

Just because the way he loves it. Because people are stupid. And they don't look at like, okay, the guys got 20 years of coaching football. Let's give him a shot. I just feel like it was a stereotypical take that every lion's fan had.

Who is this guy? He looks like that. All right, I'm out. Give it a second. Let's see because you could look like the greatest football coach in the world. And from a movie, you could be John Voitt from varsity blues.

Truth matter is, if you can't draw it up, you can't draw it up. Pets and can draw it up. Yeah, and I give that whole thing a 10, a 10. 10. Yeah.

That was a great movie. I was asked the other day at radio wrote. Then you've seen that movie, varsity blues? Of course. The clean version.

That's the end of life. The one that started out to change Vanderbiz. Yes. Rest of our IP. Rest of our IP.

And Paul Walker. Rest of the piece. Paul Cuban. Yeah. Yeah.

Coach. Really? What a movie. I didn't expect Dan out. Dan out to be watching.

We've seen it on MTV where they bleep out all the swear words. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That scene is cut.

He didn't know the 10 thing. I just didn't know. No. I don't remember. Yeah.

You're seeing the gift. Okay. I get it. Dan, we love you, man. We appreciate you.

I've seen that movie. I'm editing it. For me. Yeah. I don't know.

I was a teen in the 90s. That was a teen in the 90s. Yes, you were. Yes, you were. And we got a chance to see it.

If there was a ball around, you were certainly going to try to break something. Yeah. This place is the best man. I would literally live here. Oh, sorry.

Thank you. It's not to say about that. We appreciate you coming out here, Dan. Let's head back into. Oh, there's a photo.

I just just shown up the guy that I certainly probably saw others. Yeah. You know. Ox football guy. Yeah.

Just absolutely through and through. That's the other reason why I'm friends are pissed because they're just coming off of a short ball guy with Timmy Horton. Who did not do well. He called.

John. John. John. >> Okay. >> The double double double.

>> That was an interesting move though. MCDC picking up the play calling duties. Why that guy is still there. >> Yeah. >> And then saying, just watch me right there.

And then saying, who always would bend Johnson to?

What a even.

“>> I believe the first game he picked it up”

was against the 30 second ranked defense. >> Yeah. >> And they hung 50. >> Yeah. >> He was going to play with me.

>> He scored on every possession that game actually. >> Okay. So let's talk about the current salary cap situation for teams. Because we already talked about who's spent. Let's see who still has money to spend at this point.

Now, remember you can get good deals right now. Guys can get $45 million deals and you know, really do some damage for the team. Still up over 90 million, 80 million there. And the Buffalo Bill is 10 million.

They signed Conor McGuvern to a deal. He'll be joining us in the next hour. >> Okay. >> Obviously he's excited. I think they watched program up there.

So I think he's bombed. He just got paid very well. Then he got some of these teams down here at the bottom to do some work to get back on the other side. We assume they're going to be quiet.

We have no idea how the Carolina Panthers still have money to spend after what they did yesterday. Surprising big winners. >> Carolina Panthers. >> Yeah.

>> And I guess we should have expected them to kind of go for especially with what we learned from David Tepper. Ownership when he stopped by the show on Radio Row. It's like he will even know Stone on turn trying to win. >> Yeah.

>> And it's like some of the scenes we've seen in the past that have painted him in a light of like, "Is that what an NFL owner supposed to act like?" He goes, "Can I give my side?"

>> Can I say my side?

>> These guys were disrespectful to my family.

>> They've got a hurt player. >> They gave it entire thing. It's like, "Okay, not that bad."

“He's going hands off because he trusts Dan Morgan, I believe.”

And can Alice. And I believe there's another person down there. Craig, who's the other guy down there in Carolina that did a bunch of work for them yesterday? >> Brent Tillis is his name.

He was the cap guru in Kansas City. They brought him over to Carolina two years ago. And he interviewed for the GM job. Dan Morgan got the job. But they still brought him in another role in advisory role.

Brent Tillis is like a wizard with the numbers. So they got the chiefs top cap guy. And they brought him to Carolina. And the last two offseason have crushed him. >> Yeah.

And I think they were able to spend a shit on him. Money and makes a place that nobody expected him to. Devon Lloyd obviously. And Jalen Phillips going to the Carolina Panthers. They got Bryce Young on the offensive side.

And they sold that stadium out for playoff game. >> Yeah. >> Feels like they're back to life. That's good news for ball as a whole.

The Philadelphia Eagles sitting there with 13 million.

Their cabinets got kind of rated. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But people just kind of go on after. And then there was a little bit of rumbling about maybe a trade along the D line.

But anything is possible, I guess, at this moment, especially for anybody that doesn't have a lot of cash. You know, and restructuring of contracts. We're in that season here as well as teams are going to have to get under the number. San Francisco 49ers with 20 million, they're still making a place. >> Yeah.

>> What a signing yesterday in Mike Evans. >> Mm-hm. >> I mean, that was a magical moment here. We go over to Shrakes over and free agency fund friend zone over there. And he goes, Mike Evans is moving soon.

He's not going back to the box and then bang Shifty Tweet. He's going to the San Francisco 49ers. What a gigantic move yesterday by the Niners D. But I don't think we've talked about that nearly enough. >> Yeah.

>> Mike Evans no longer a buck headline. Mike Evans now a part of the 49ers offense. >> Crazy to think about the opportunities and expectations. >> Yeah.

We were talking about it.

We said if you're going to leave a place you've been so long. You have someone's history. You're probably gonna go somewhere as a establish that should be a contender. And you obviously look at the teams. You look at the quarterback.

So you have Brock Perty. You got a great play caller and head coach with Kyle Shanahan. This is a team that can get there. That can get over to home. And we talked about it.

Devontate Adams is a difference. He made with the Rams and Matt staffer. I don't know how many one yard touchdowns he had last year. But once you get into that low red area with this guy's a mismatch. It's a slant play.

You can almost know the route. But as a corner as a DB, it's tough for you to get in between the quarterback. And this receiver right here 13. He's been doing this for a long, long time. A hall of fame when it's all done.

This is a great move by the San Francisco. Yeah, we talked about we gave a comparison of Devontate Adams.

“I believe is what they know about up whenever you talk about Mike Evans for that San Francisco 49ers offense.”

Grunkowski was another one whenever you're down in the red zone. You just kind of flank him out one on one. What are you going to do? With Tay, he has the best get off. So he's got a two way go on somebody.

So Matthew Stafford knows he's going out there. It's almost guaranteed touchdown. Grunkowski was unblockable. If he thought he could shake you, he'd go outside. If he wanted to just box you up, he'd do that.

And Tom Brady would hit him. What is happening now is Brock Party gets his own version of that, right? He's kind of what everybody's thinking with Mike Evans. Because he's unguardable. If he goes in or out.

And if it's out on an island. I mean, it feels like it's touchdown. Tay had 10 touchdowns last year inside five yard line. Which obviously led the NFL might be the history, the best in the history.

It's like if that's all he does. Seriously. For the Niners, that would be a massive, massive signing for their team to go on a run. Let alone all the other shit of him taking the top off. So George and everybody can kind of eat up underneath.

Let alone Christian McAfrey have to have a box. It's like, share the hand has to be dreaming. That Mike Evans is a 49er.

“And I don't know, did any of us expect him to leave?”

I did not expect him to leave the box. I thought this was a Larry Fitzgerald situation. Yeah, exactly. I think the assumption was just him and Godwin and Baker were going to write it out and tell the end, especially when Kate ought and who was their free agent tight ended

it up going back. It was like, okay, they're getting the band back together. That's going to happen. But even with Mike Evans in San Francisco, we talked about earlier how big Pittman is losing him just in the wide receiver room.

Like Mike Evans getting in there and helping out Ricky Pierce saw. Ricky Pierce saw really hasn't had like a veteran presence in the wide receiver room. So even the knowledge he'll be able to pass on to help those other guys out. Not to mention, you know, they only really have two or two wide receivers out there because kiddo and use checker on the field so much with McAfrey too.

Like the 49ers might be all the way back. But I did see a lot of people making a lot of jokes about the substation of Mike Evans hamstring. I did. I saw a lot of the internet's going to let their jokes fly. That's what they're going to do.

But ladies and gentlemen. [screaming] Chef, it's week day two of free agency frenzy. Zangun's all in one year deal with the Miami Dolphins. Mike McCartney said Adam.

Wow. Fuckin' around it. [laughing] Zangun's all is gone. The Miami gumpies in the back.

Grinning like the butchers dog. D-but this is something you said. Has they get done for the Dolphins? Yeah. Zangun was on the top of my big board.

This is the guy who is here. Fixed is here like. Yes. Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. A titanic. A titanic detail. I can't even understand. Riley Patterson's also gone.

He was 27 to 29 last year. Yeah, this is good.

“Yeah, and I think it was like 10 to 10 plus 50 or something.”

Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember.

What is sunny doing my? I trust sunny. Linbin. Hey. I'm telling you what?

And who? Linbin. My naughty owner of the Miami Dolphins. About a 1% stake of the Miami Dolphins.

Like a hundred and seventy five million dollars.

It's finger prison all over. Linbin bought into F1 as well down there in Miami. And all the other things that he bought into made us realize. Maybe Stephen Ross doesn't care about it though. Yeah.

Maybe all the other things are doing really well. And if Linbin's buying in a 1%. For 175 million. For a team that has won a Super Bowl since when? Gumpy, 1971.

Two. Perfect season three. Three. That was the year of the Super Bowl of the show. 73.

We want better. 72. Oh, perfect season. Then you guys had a blemish. But you still want a Super Bowl.

So since 1973. Yep. I love the Dolphins man. When's the last time a playoff game was one? 25.

Here's a go. Ladies and gentlemen, giving us more details. Maybe on this deal. I don't know how they got to this. Zane known to be a tough negotiator.

Mike McCartney. Forget about it. He'll throw the pen down in the middle of all negotiations. You want to thought eyes cross. T's.

He said, I don't have a pen. How we thought anything. That's a Mike McCartney does. So the fact they're able to get a deal done is magical. Let's go over to Adam.

What's cooking Adam? What is happening in this free agency frenzy? Well, you know, you were talking about the Niners.

“And I think that there was a feeling in Tampa along with all the young wide receivers that he was going to leave.”

And I think the 49ers set their sights on him. And they were haggling over the contract. You put up the guarantee for the money.

Three year deal worth up to sixty point four million dollars.

That was really for cap purposes. It's more like a one year deal that includes 16.4 million dollars of guaranteed money. 16.4 so even though the numbers are advertised bigger come in bigger. It's really a smaller deal for Mike Evans who felt like it was ready. It was time to move on, try something new, operate in a new offense.

We've seen the kind of success that it could have for other receivers later in their career. And I think you just want to try something new. Going to San Francisco with the 49ers substations. That's new. But they believe they'll be able to fit him into the offense.

He'll be a major factor as we continue to await the latest kicking and punting. Here in the cool headquarters where the Wi-Fi is working tremendous. Okay. Good Wi-Fi. Maybe it's not as much action.

Maybe that's potentially why. It's not quite. You knew that was going to be you knew that was going to be the case. Because how crazy yesterday was. And by the way, they kept score.

You won yesterday. Yeah. God of voice. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You won. Congratulations. You had no big deal.

Also Max Cross beyond Friday. But is that a part of this? I don't know you told me. You crushed it. We appreciate that.

But you knew today was going to be a little quieter. It felt like as you came in here this morning. I would say this. There was so much activity yesterday. And it was not considered a great for aging class.

So when you take all the sizzle names out on the first day.

“And you have to wait for the quarterbacks like Calamare and Gino Smith to later in the week.”

And we've already seen 10 trades made. How much more can you realistically expect on day two? Like I said, there still are some really good players out there. And we're still waiting for some compelling deals. But to be yesterday.

That was an all-time day one. That was a crazy day one about as crazy as you could have on the first day of Regency. And so it's hard to top that on day two. Yeah.

We enjoyed the hell out of yesterday. And we'll be excited to see what all comes about today. You're head tone. Yeah, chef, you keep bringing up Tyler and Gino. What about Kirk Cousins?

What's his current market like? Is that a, maybe a situation. I've heard potentially in Pittsburgh while they're waiting on Aaron. It's Kirk potentially a fallback. What have you heard the latest on Kirk?

Well, tell you know, it's funny. I've brought up Gino and Kyler, and I haven't brought up Kirk Cousins, and I haven't brought up Russell Wilson and I haven't brought them to our flackle. There's a lot of quarterbacks out there.

And there are only so many openings out there right now. Kirk Cousins will be released tomorrow by 4 p.m. Eastern at that time. He'll become a free agent. It doesn't sound like he's in any rush.

He'll make a decision. We saw last year Philip Rivers. I'm in late in the year. Oh. Kirk Cousins can sit back.

Wait. He's made more money than anybody. And he has that to be in any rush. You go take a job. I don't think he's rushing out to Pittsburgh.

Now we'll say this. If Aaron Rodgers decided all of a sudden not coming back to Pittsburgh, thank you very much. Could I see Kirk Cousins coming to play as a potential option for the Steelers?

Definitely. At that point time. Do I think he's rushing into anything right now? Doesn't sound that way, but let's see how it shakes out. Okay.

So Kirk Cousins. What about their car? That came in one pretty quick. Yeah. Yeah.

That did. I haven't heard much shatter about that. Again, there would have to be a team that is willing to trade for him. And the saints have continued to say that nobody's approached them about it. Okay.

So the saints will keep us updated on their car. Who knows who lands where?

Because until Kyler's released tomorrow,

Gino's released tomorrow.

Kirk's released tomorrow. We have no clue who's heading where. Gino back to the jets will be crazy. Yeah. Happy cool.

That would be absolutely crazy. Sheffron kind of alluded to that earlier. It's like baby. The jets are in the market. Their Indianapolis cult situation would be certainly something

as we kind of try to figure out that. Gino, or Kyler, or Kirk. Or, right there. Yeah. Yeah.

If we can't get Daniel Jones. Yeah. We'll do it again. Give us the Carson one's experience. If we need to be.

Which might be happening for the New York jet. Right. The quarterback kind of shuffling is fascinating. And I think it has a little bit more of a heightened attention or heightened excitement. Because we've seen these quarterbacks.

We've kind of been in places. Going to have massive success at other spots. Maybe they find their actual home where they're supposed to be. The places that they're supposed to go. Let's say eat dinner at and stay at home.

And train at is all in one place. And they find their best versions of themselves. Those are all possible with these guys.

“And I think that's why it's so exciting.”

But man, it'd be great if they did that today. I don't like that they're home on collar. Don't a morrow. What are we supposed to do today? Yeah.

Why? We're supposed to be super excited. Thank you, late. Hard to be. Hard to be.

Maybe they'll trade him though. They won't. But maybe they will. Well, after I said, that's not going to happen. But you never know.

But there is a chance. And they're like, well, why would they be doing Kyler any favors? It's like, what about football? Okay. What about us?

What about football is a whole.

With the Jets in Gino, I believe the Jets have three first round picks next year already.

And there's a lot of people saying, like, if they want to get that number one overall, bring Gino and he just did that for the readers. Okay. So there's no reason for you. He's a great West Virginia mountain here.

And a lot of the interception. A lot of the interceptions that happen against Gino this year were plays of guys careers. I'm talking from low league pop Warner High School College and NFL. Guys were swooping in like they were Troy Palamelo getting the best picks they've ever had against Gino. He got unlucky this year.

Feels like that entire team was maybe asked if he gets a right opportunity again. Maybe here in Indianapolis. Maybe back to New York Jets. But on that note, three number ones is what they made all the moves for. They have a lot of money.

Everybody's entrusting that this group at the Jets is going to make the right decisions. I hope they do that because I'd be good for Jets fans. There's a lot of scary decisions that have already been made there, though, that make us wonder if they're going to be good decision makers. Hopefully they'll be able to do that.

Let's head back to the free agency. Friends aren't over there with the two fun guys. Dan or Loveski and Pete Schreger or Loveski. What quarterback story is kind of most intriguing to you. Obviously you told us about Kyler dropping into Kevin O'Connell's offensive system.

Kyler more of a freestyle guy. Kevin O'Connell system more locked in. Gino Smith heading into Frank Wright's potentially over there in New York for the Jets. That's Tua at Atlanta with Kevin Stephansky. What are the good Malik in Miami?

“What are your new quarterback situations that are seemingly brewing?”

What are your thoughts on them? Who's not going to be asked, you think? I'll start in Atlanta with Tua. I really believe that this was the right choice for both parties. The place in Tua, for two is perspective, the place in Atlanta.

Best offensive line to is ever played with, not even close. And then they are loaded with talent. Obviously, be John Drake London. They signed, who's the reason for the Philadelphia Eagles? John Johnson.

Correct. Thank you for that tone. So there's plenty of talent and they've tagged Cal Pizz. So I'm not telling everybody that this is going to be Sam Darnoldency out of last year. But I do think that the conversation over the last 24 hours has been a little bit not real when it comes to Tua.

Two years ago, he was in the MVP conversation. Led the NFL and passing. Definitely a decline, no doubt. But if they can find ways to kind of mesh the systems together, that's a bit. I also think it makes sense for Atlanta.

We have no idea what Michael Panics is going to be. When he comes back, if he comes back, how it's going to operate all that. Okay? I think it's the, let's figure out what we have at the quarterback spot this year. And if either of these guys blows our mind for Ken's fans game.

Matt Ryan great, if not 2027.

“I think the my attention right now is focused on probably some other places.”

Number one, Arizona. Arizona signed a gardener meant you. No question that that's like a good. A backup role. But is Michael for going to go into the first season with as a head coach with just him.

Are they a team that you pay attention to in the draft? Maybe. Are they going to try to move down in the draft? Maybe be a guy for a play for a guy in the draft, a tie Simpson, a Drew Aller, a Garrett nussmire or something like that. I'll bring this up to you.

Honest. If you're the Indianapolis Colts. Well, okay. If you're the Indianapolis Colts. What would you rather do?

Chase after columnary for a million a million and a half.

Or be strangleholded by Daniel Jones and his good for 50 plus millions. Well, it was this guy who said 50 million questions out there. I don't need you to rear naked choke in my opinions and thoughts right now on this free agency frenzy.

What would you rather do?

So. What is that real? Who are you reading? Is this somebody?

“Is this I got fake news garage at fake news garage?”

Some troll making this up that they want a 50 millioner. Did they tell you exactly a Daniel Jones is looking for 50 million plus a year. Because of what happened coming fresh off a broken leg on one side. And it tore a kill. He's on the other side.

And we don't know when he's going to be healthy. I'm just saying it's an interesting situation. I don't know. I know I've not heard 50 million or one up. But I do think the reports that they offered him something similar to a sam download deal.

Which is three for a hundred I do believe if you go back and do the math. The transition tag here that he's on is like 36.8. So it's actually a little bit more maybe if they did offer them a sam download deal. But once again, we don't know what's real and what isn't real. Both teams and I agents are trying to get numbers out there.

You know to try it, to try in between our rooms. You know what I mean? We're here. They're trying to sell. Chef can't hear.

Chef can't hear anything. Chef can't hear anything. They don't tell me anything.

There's always news getting sent out for different reasons.

If Daniel Jones is able to get like a 350 million dollar deal to play quarterback, I will be so happy for him. I'll be so happy for him. Now, I don't think that's feasible for the coach to do especially after what we just did for Alec Pierce and what we're going to have to do for Jonathan Taylor and all these things.

And was Daniel Jones the only one that really brought us happiness and excitement. Yes. So is that the right decision? I don't know. But to your point, if we can get Tyler and that Shane stuck in all things.

Oh man. Him and J.T. and the same back. And it's a million dollars. I want Daniel Jones. Please.

Final answer. Broken leg torn Achilles and all. He's playing with broken legs. Still burning it. And he said, why do you tear his Achilles?

Well, I have broken fucking legs. What's the Achilles? What's pointed? There are no. They're eight and two at the time.

So let's let's call it Thanksgiving World. I mean, what is. We saw that Kirk Cousins.

“But now it, I think Daniel's probably six years younger than when Kirk did it.”

But you're still dealing with the reality of Daniel Jones.

I would agree. Three or hundred. I'm ecstatic for him. He has the ACL for his time in New York, right? Then he do his ACL in New York.

And there's an Achilles tear. So you, I think there's the things that the Colts who feel like, "Okay, some good things are happening." I just think it's an interesting situation to just pay attention to. What do you want, Fancy?

I call me in a strange way. Yeah, because we're living in good times right now. Look at this. This was a good time to be a Coltsman. He's back.

He's back. We gave him to it. We gave it. We gave it. We paid.

At the time. We were appreciative of that. He's back. We were winning everything. We're eight and two, Daniel.

No one came in a lead. You guys weren't talking about it on get up and first take our NFL live, which we felt the disrespect forward. But on our show, number one headline coming out of NFL was that the Colts were going to win a Super Bowl.

That's what it was. And then there was people in New York.

They were always like, "Dane Hill Jones is going to Daniel Jones."

And then he just kept getting better and better and better. And then we came back from a by weekend. I can't move. Yeah. Then he got broken leg.

What were the numbers? 93%. 97%. 93% pessimism. And I was certainly in that group.

Yes, you were. I ever thought I'd be here today. But his Daniel Jones no matter what. Okay, so 50 million a year, Daniel Jones? Yes.

Me too. Back to you, Dan. That's our final answer. We won. Dan Jones.

At 50 million. Fucking. 65 million a year. That's not really good. That Riley torched the Texan's defense to late New Year.

Mm-hmm. Can I stand up? That bird. That bird. That bird.

Can I stand up for the editorial choices of the other programming on this fine network? The Dallas Cowboys do move the needle. And we're very relevant when we were talking about the micoparsons trade. We only report the news and we have to respond to what's in the headlines. Pat.

Peter Shrega. Okay. I understand. I understand. You're talking about why you guys didn't talk about the quotes being great.

Got it. I appreciate you clarifying that entire thing.

“And I understand you have to get that condo off.”

I get it. Honestly. In listen, if you guys can book Jerry on there a little bit more, we'd all be appreciative. Yes.

He's working landman. Stupendus. I mean, absolutely. Great. Stupendus.

He was great. Danny. He literally was. I don't watch. Kyler and Indianapolis would be crazy.

But it seems like all of a sudden I don't watch TV. This guy. You don't watch college football either. You make it apparent. That is.

Okay. Okay. You do that. But Kyler to the Viking seemingly just already done. Yeah.

Sounds like. Lock that in. Well, aren't they interesting? Daniel Jones. Oh, yeah.

It might still be. Trags go on. You seem. Well, I think the assumption is that, you know, we talked about parental leave.

And we talked about Sam Darnold. But there really was a piece of this where it was Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold leaving Minnesota, which was part of the decision to like Quasi Adolfo Mensa go as the general manager. That the thought that we can have both of those players in our room and both of those guys Darnold and Jones have these successful seasons elsewhere was almost the cardinal

sin of what this last organization was with the Minnesota Vikings.

They loved Daniel Jones there.

I don't think that is the next landing spot for Daniel Jones.

“I think Indianapolis makes a ton of sense.”

And it seems like they like him. The question is, what are the numbers going to be?

And gosh, I mean, Kyler for a million three or Daniel Jones for even 30 something.

And then you throw in the JJ McCarthy of it all. It is a conversation. It is. And it's a Daniel Jones that there's a question mark of health. That's also.

It's not Daniel Jones that was playing top five, top seven football last year. It's Daniel Jones who does have a little bit of that. I do think this is it. And I would bring it back to you guys at the toxic table. There's there is an off the field element where it felt like Daniel Jones

Meshed with that organization. Meshed with that coaching staff. And the city seemed like they were loving the whole Daniel Jones story. That doesn't go into the the film work in the stat sheets and the numbers like we have over here. Guys haven't bears a 10 whistle.

Exactly. That's right. So I mean, the guy took to the city like a fish to water. And he won immediately into what D but said, I don't know if you guys even saw this. There was an optimism pulled done by the New York Times, right?

I believe it was the times. Yeah. I don't think or whatever for every fan. Now who takes these polls? Obviously nobody I know or people nobody likes me.

“From my understanding how these polls go.”

I've never heard. These six or 97 percent like pessimism rates for quotes fans that took that poll. For going into the season with Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson being the quarterback. I mean, it was just like the quotes are asked. Their fans even think they're asked.

Nobody's happy. Now I tried my absolute best to remain optimistic because we only got 17 games a year. Yeah. Problems to us. Okay.

So if you go into a season, just think in your ass. That's a bad way to view the NFL. That's a bad way to view football season. Football season is a massive piece of my life. I would like to have a little bit of something to wake up to.

Okay. So whenever Daniel Jones comes in, I start watching a highlight today with Jones. I go and meet Daniel Jones.

I always show this a big guy.

He's a big boy. This is a big guy. And I start remembering the glory days that betting on Daniel Jones is over for rushing. Which you're not going to be able to do a Massachusetts seems like for a while. Over on rushing for Daniel Jones.

And it always hitting. It's like wait a minute. This guy is athletic. Wait a minute. This guy has played some good football.

Wait a minute. Do we have any other option? Not really. From everything that we had heard inside the building. It was not a very good culture.

So having somebody from the outside come in, turn our team into what he did and play the ball that we saw. I think that's why you're getting us in. Give them a hundred million a year. Yeah.

Those were a magical times. And we felt alive. And we felt like we had a chance.

“And that's why I think these types of free agency frenzy days are so important.”

Because the teams that are absolute shite we're talking about.

Tennessee Titans. The Raiders. I mean, the commanders were in the game. They didn't make it into the playoffs. It's like these days when these things happen.

You have hope. You have optimism. You think that maybe whenever we're eight to ten weeks into the season. We're still going to be able to talk shit that our team has a chance to win the Lombardi.

We had all those things with Daniel Jones. And we've had a hundred other quarterbacks where we were nowhere near having that. So Dan or Lovsky. Either you're going to hear us say give us Daniel Jones or give us nothing. Even if he can't run for that.

I love that. I love that. Again, I don't disagree with you. I do think it's a really good football team that's going to need good quarterback play. And hopefully that's going to be Daniel.

But I do think it's interesting. I'll throw another two out at you. Wait, I got one guy. I got one guy. I don't have the chef to tweet thing.

This is not as big a news as some of the other ones. But it's a player that mattered for the giants last year. Adam, if you're listening. Micah McFadden. Giant Slimebacker.

Returning to the New York Giants. I'm getting the text right now. They have agreed to terms on a one year deal. They have agreed to terms on a one year deal. They have agreed to terms on a one year deal.
