00:00What are you hearing about some of these teams are looking to add and maybe subtract by Tuesday's

00:03deadline? Yeah, Donnie, when I put my list together, just talking to people around the

00:07league, it's fascinating. First of all, the Cardinals have been bad for years, right?

00:13That no one's expecting anything from this team. They're the number four seed right now in the

00:18NFC. They're technically in first place in the NFC West. And the word around the team is they

00:23got to do something to get a pass rusher. They addressed their cornerback position in the draft

00:28with Max Melton, but they just need pass rushers. Dennis Gardeck, one of the better pass rushers,

00:32is out for the season due to a major knee injury. So they're in the market for a pass rusher.

00:37The Chiefs, believe it or not, yes, they got DeAndre Hopkins recently, Donnie, but they're

00:42still looking for receiver help. They only have four healthy receivers right now. So that's a

00:47team that still could get a cheaper option. They're not looking to do anything big like

00:50the release the big name like Hopkins. The Commanders, they're fishing around for receivers

00:56and corners, although it's highly unlikely. I would say not. I mean, I don't say 100% it won't

01:02happen, but the Commanders have looked into it. I've heard they've looked into J.C. Horn, who's

01:08one of the best young corners in the NFL with the Panthers. But the Panthers, they're in a position

01:14where they need draft capital, they need to build, but you can't trade your best players. So I don't

01:19see that happening. But I do want to mention that they have looked into the cornerback position,

01:23the Commanders, and this is another team, guys. This has really been the story of this trade

01:26deadline. Teams that we didn't think would have a chance are in it and in it big time. And the

01:32Commanders, also, they're not very good at receiver. They need to help out Terry McLaurin,

01:36but the big thing is cornerback for them. The Falcons with Matthew Judon, it hasn't happened

01:40yet. They're still looking for edge rushers. The Lions, they're still, this one's obvious,

01:45they're looking to help out with the loss of Aidan Hutchinson. And then the Steelers,

01:48I reported this a couple weeks ago, they've tried to get Mike Williams from the Jets. The Jets

01:54haven't been willing to trade him yet. Now, the Jets are three and six. They're still game now for

01:59sale out of the last wildcard spot. Do they really need Mike Williams? Alan Lazard, who got off to

02:04great starts on injured reserve. One thing I would tell you about Mike Williams, the Jets actually

02:09were going to, excuse me, the Steelers were going to bring him on a free agent visit, but he had

02:13already signed with the Jets. So that's something to keep an eye on. And then, look, the other thing

02:18is their teams are out of it. The Giants could be selling. They could be moving Aziz Ojalary,

02:22who makes sense, he's on the last year of his rookie deal. There are a lot of teams that like

02:26him. De'Darius Smith, the Browns edge rusher, he's up there in age, good football player,

02:31pretty productive. You could play him inside and nickel as a tackle. You could play him on the

02:36outside and base. And then Jadavion Clowney, look, where are the Panthers going, guys?

02:41Clowney is a guy that the Panthers, as I understand it, would be willing to move for the right deal.

02:45So there are some players on a lot of teams that are looking to get involved.
