00:25Let's touch table on some football, shall we?
00:27David, music selection.
00:33And I want to say, for the record, Rico was giggling like a schoolgirl as you hit the button.
00:39You have something to tell us?
00:41You know what?
00:42We'll start with that.
00:43I was going to end with it, but let's just start with it.
00:46Our friend Max Crosby.
00:49The original question is, will he even get traded, or will the Raiders kind of do a Raiders type of
00:55thing,
00:55tease everybody, but in the end, they work out something for at least another year with Max Crosby.
01:02But I updated the Vegas odds.
01:05The Bears are now minus 150.
01:07Is this pretty much, he's going to the Bears, and the Cowboys have the second best at plus 225.
01:15The Raiders are third.
01:16As we sit here today, I would say yes, because the DJ Moore deal has financial ramifications that assist the
01:24Bears,
01:25as well as receiving a second-round draft pick to grease the skids.
01:30Now, they still have to move Tremaine Edmonds.
01:33A week ago, they said, you can go seek a trade.
01:36They'll either cut him or trade him.
01:38They'll have more than enough to acquire Crosby.
01:41They have the picks.
01:43Max, it seems like, feels like, sounds like Crosby will be a Bear, as we just sit here today.
01:48But it just, somehow or another, is he going to end up back with the Raiders?
01:53I don't see it.
01:54And then the articles have already come out that Max Crosby can't stand Tom Brady's little vitamin friend, Alex Guerrero,
02:02and how Guerrero's presence has really soured him on the Raiders.
02:06Just throwing that out there.
02:08David?
02:11The Chicago, I'm sorry, the Dallas Cowboys are the interesting name to me that I've seen to pop up in
02:17the last half a day here.
02:19But I still think he's going to Chicago.
02:21I think that's happening.
02:23Okay.
02:23It does look like Chicago's cleaning house.
02:26Since we brought up his name, DJ Moore to the Bills.
02:29Is this the move that the Bills needed to make?
02:33No.
02:33I actually think it's quite stupid.
02:35The only redeeming quality would be Joe Brady was DJ Moore's OC in Carolina.
02:41I just, I don't understand taking a receiver 25 mil a year this deep into his career.
02:49I mean, I get it.
02:51Like, you're desperate for weapons.
02:53But to give up a second-round pick while you're taking on all of that cap, he signed a four
02:59-year, hundred-and-something-million-dollar deal.
03:01If I'm going to take that player off your hands, I'm not giving you a second-round pick.
03:08But, look.
03:09It should be the other way around.
03:10You would give me an extra pick.
03:11I just think the Bills kind of got taken advantage of.
03:14Yeah.
03:14On surface, things could change.
03:16Maybe they've restructured the deal somehow, and we'll know this by Wednesday.
03:20But right now, it doesn't look good because I don't think he's a number one.
03:24So you have Shakira who's not a number one.
03:26You have DJ Moore who's not a number one.
03:28They still need a number one.
03:29Yeah.
03:29That's very well said.
03:31And that doesn't mean I'm running to the altar with A.J. Brown either.
03:35But I just didn't love this move.
03:37And for the Bears, let's be clear, Colston Loveland had kind of moved ahead of DJ Moore.
03:41Luther Burden's going to be a superstar.
03:43Hell, even Rico's guy.
03:44Roma Dunes.
03:45They have the weapons they need.
03:47Why am I paying this cat $25 million a year?
03:49True.
03:51Speaking of wide receivers, DJ Moore going to the Bills.
03:55What does this do with the market for A.J. Brown?
03:58I don't know what the market is.
04:01Aging, expensive attitude.
04:03I don't know.
04:05And I know that's not a great answer for sports radio.
04:08I don't have a soliloquy to go on.
04:10Because I thought the Bills were going to be like the team for him to go to.
04:15And now they don't need him.
04:17I mean, again, the money would be a huge issue.
04:20Your team makes a lot of sense.
04:22Baltimore makes a lot of sense.
04:24There's a need.
04:25Like, Zay Flowers is a prime example.
04:27I love Zay Flowers.
04:28But he's not a lead dog.
04:30You need the physical profile, the inside the 20-yard line,
04:3450-50 ball, red zone guy, that prototype receiver.
04:38I think the Niners need the same thing largely, especially with Kittle being gone.
04:43But that's me just throwing out situations.
04:46I don't want to give up a lot of picks and stuff and take on an expensive player who might
04:50be reading Shakespeare on the sidelines when he's not happy.
04:53See, and that's the thing.
04:55Some insiders speculated that now that DJ Moore gets a second, does A.J. Brown get a first?
05:00Well, why would you want to do that with the money that you still have to pay him?
05:03And then on the Eagles side, they trade him before June 1st, which is what they'll do.
05:08You get draft picks.
05:09$43.5 million would be the dead cap hit.
05:12So then on either side, it's like, do I want the contract?
05:15No.
05:16Do I want the dead money?
05:17Probably no.
05:18No, but then I don't want the player.
05:19So I don't, it's weird.
05:21What's more valuable?
05:22You're the Cincinnati Bengals now.
05:24Snow being removed or the fine?
05:27It's pretty terrible.
05:29Let's stick with wide receivers.
05:31What is the value, if any, for Stefan Diggs?
05:39For me, zero.
05:40He's a nutcase.
05:42He also can't keep it in his pants.
05:44So you're guaranteed another child out of wedlock in the news.
05:47Wally plays for your team.
05:49I'm out.
05:49I want nothing to do with him.
05:51And I think the Patriots saw everything they needed to see.
05:54See you later.
05:56I'd say nothing.
05:57You can give him to me for free.
05:58I wouldn't have him in my locker room.
05:59Yeah, there's a reason why he's been on so many teams.
06:02He was with Houston, and they were successful.
06:07Breaking news here at the 97.1 Compound.
06:10Steph Diggs has just gotten someone pregnant.
06:12Okay.
06:15I guess I'm thinking, is this one where he could go to a coach and a coach could rehab him
06:20or a system or a team?
06:22It's called a doctor and a vasectomy.
06:23Okay.
06:26That's actually Steph Diggs at the opening press conference.
06:30What are your thoughts on the season?
06:31Welcome to New Orleans, Steph Diggs.
06:33All right.
06:35Questions, please.
06:37Okay.
06:38I'm regretting asking that one.
06:42Best option for Kenneth Walker III.
06:46Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos.
06:51I might surprise you with this one.
06:53Probably the Jags.
06:55Liam Cohen showed a lot.
06:58Not only with Trevor Lawrence's performance, but really launching that Bayshon Tootin, ATN kind of combo meal.
07:07I'd say there.
07:08The Chiefs thing, it's any offensive player you go, oh, he's great with Andy Reid.
07:14The Broncos one, I'm sorry.
07:16You know, I just, I'm not a Bo Nix person.
07:18So I'll just say that I think the Jags are super interesting there.
07:21Okay.
07:21But keep an eye out on the Giants.
07:23Not that it's the best landing spot.
07:24Not the obsession connecting the Giants to K-9.
07:28It's not me doing it.
07:30I'm going to go with the Broncos.
07:32I like that with Bo Nix and the passing weapons that they have.
07:36Along with the defense that they have.
07:38It just feels like Seattle-like.
07:41He can just go there, have the run game, do what they need to do.
07:44Don't turn the ball over.
07:45Help your offense.
07:46And then your defense will win you a Super Bowl.
07:48That's what it feels like.
07:49From NFC to AFC West.
07:51Okay.
07:52Gotcha.
07:52All right.
07:53That's your NFL Blitz 97.1.
