00:00So let's talk about Minnesota. Are they really gonna go with Daniel Jones?

00:06No, well, let's listen. JJ McCarthy is their guy, but he's coming off major knee surgery. They need an insurance policy now

00:13Daniel Jones behind the scenes

00:15Took to to Kevin O'Connell's West Coast offense very very well

00:20O'Connell is great with footwork. You talk to anyone who's watched their tape with the quarterbacks

00:25He's worked with it's great at doing that and he's done a great job with a number of quarterbacks and Daniel Jones could be that

00:31Next reclamation reclamation project for him keep an eye on that situation

00:36They were happy with him on their practice squad

00:37But the bottom line is JJ McCarthy's the future quarterback for them and look that by the way

00:42They try to get Sam Darnold back

00:43but they would not make any kind of commitment because

00:46What Darnell wanted was one of he wanted a a longer term commitment

00:51Then the Vikings were willing to give him and that's why he moved on and he got it. He got it in

00:57So what was your grade on the Metcalf deal with Pittsburgh?

01:01And what is the story with Philly in regards to their tight end? Are they really moving in?

01:09All right, let's get let's get to the we'll get to let's get to Metcalf first. I'm gonna do Goddard. So

01:15Here's the deal and I applaud the Steelers for doing this, you know for many years and you and I've been doing these seconds for

01:21Five years or six years now, the Steelers are we're too old-school

01:25there they're very straightforward not willing to take risks like kind of the Eagles do with under GM Harry Roseman and

01:32Andy Weidel who was the Eagles personnel director ironically for a number of years

01:37he's helped Omar Khan and

01:39Really, they're building not be so so strict with everything. So

01:43Instead of just building for the draft, you know, they tried Roman Wilson. He had the hamstring injury

01:48Yes, they George Pickens will get them in a second. They made a significant trade now, don't forget Scott

01:53They try to get Brandon. I you they were this close to get him branding. I you from an Irish last season

01:58So they're very impressive

02:00They got Metcalf, but the big story here not only is it getting Metcalf a true number one receiver Pickens was their number one

02:06He was their ex-receiver

02:08They got to figure out Pickens here as one league source told me

02:11It will not go over all of Pickens if he does not get his contract extended even without Metcalf

02:17It's something they're gonna have to address I I just don't see it from what I've been told privately

02:25Scott I don't disagree with you, but this will not it's hard to imagine. This is going to go over all of them

02:31Now, let's get let's get to the Eagles Dell Scott

02:34My understanding is he's available via trade because we're trying to move him. He's on the final year of steel making over 14 million dollars

02:40He's 30 years old Scott a terrific football player

02:43But it's had a big injury history because of no plans or and they're not looking to extend his contract

02:48So I'm told there about three or four teams have interest at the very least

02:53He's got an option bonus. That's not due right now, but the option bonus plus his base salary is over 14 million

03:00He's 30 years old Scott

03:01It's just a lot of money for a guy that that age and but the problem with the Eagles is Scott

03:06They have no one on the on the roster to replace him. He's a really good

03:10He's available

03:12Yeah, I know Michael Mayer was drafted two regimes ago. It's kind of crazy Michael

03:17Mayer is an inline tight end and remember Brock Bowers is their guy there as soon as they drafted Bowers

03:22You knew we kind of mayor would be on the outs

03:25So why not mayor in Philly?

03:28That's a guy that I know Eagle fans would love out of Notre Dame

03:31I know you loved him for the draft. You and I talked about him a couple years ago

03:35He's an interesting player. That's a guy. I would keep an eye on here because Scott

03:39In free agency, there's nothing left

03:41But I'm told there are seven tight ends who should go within the first three rounds including

03:47Mason Taylor Jason Taylor son
