00:00big moves of the day so far malik willis to miami uh which by the way i don't know i'd
00:06choose the
00:07defensive coordinator that i was just the guy that i just played for in green bay as opposed to like
00:12a guy whose brother runs the same system and is an offensive head coach if i'm malik willis oh yeah
00:17no i was wrong on this one i thought uh i thought it was going to be arizona based off
00:21of that based
00:22off of what you're suggesting with the before connection and it's not as if it's clearly not
00:26as if other teams bloom away with about an amount of money that was too rich to pass up like
00:30this was
00:31well under what people have projected for market value and when it just comes to like air i actually
00:37think arizona might be one of the teams you can say has a better setup than miami i think miami
00:41might
00:41have the worst setup of any team in the nfl because they're clearly just about to go into a rebuild
00:46here's what i'm going to spin this as uh well for before new matt lafor had told michael for what
00:52was
00:52going on i think about it because the money is so tiny it's not as if this was a 30
00:55million dollar
00:56deal or 35 million dollars over four years or something like that 22 million for what is
01:01essentially a two-year deal but looks on paper like a three-year deal the other before could
01:05have easily done that i i think i think uh i think matt will fore got in his head it
01:09was like
01:09you want to stay away from this one i also like that you call him the other laflore yeah that's
01:12what he is michael for is the other before until proven otherwise wasn't that the laflore you
01:17wanted here though yes and he would have been the other before still proven otherwise i don't know
01:21it would have been i don't think you're calling if they hired him you're not calling him the
01:24other laflore of course i couldn't call him that that would have been wildly disrespectful but now
01:28that he's in arizona that would have been for me to call him that since i was not in on
01:32it he's the
01:32other before until proven otherwise that's just that's his reality but i i do think there is
01:36something there like it was so set up for arizona in so many ways to get this type of market
01:40also by
01:40the way probably proves the point that a lot of these nfl teams looked around and said oh
01:45one one night game against the ravens maybe we don't give you everything and hey
01:50you mean those nine passes he had completed in that bears game maybe that wasn't nothing either
01:54so if he had just had 10 passes in that game he would have been the 35 million dollar player
01:59maybe more than 40 passes this last season maybe he would have gotten a little bit more money but
02:03the market clearly showed what we had thought about malik willis in many ways with tua also getting
02:08released so tua and kyler are supposed to be two guys you can play on a russell wilson type deal
02:14the you know was it one year one and a half million dollar deal that is two names out there
02:19that we
02:19thought could have been traded that now are likely to be signed as free agents i think it's
02:23fascinating that the first rumors we heard right out of the gate when tua uh was was getting released
02:29was uh yeah he's gonna go to sorry atlanta is kind of hot in pursuit there yeah it's like imagine
02:35being kevin stefanski and you just couldn't with baker mayfield you couldn't you were so desperate
02:40to get away from baker mayfield you you jumped into the fray or jumped on the bandwagon internally
02:46to get the sean watson here then now you've worked your way back to your quarterback room
02:50is to a tongue of iloa potentially and michael pennix jr well it'd be michael pennix insurance
02:55basically they're just going to corner the market on uh left hand viagra annex insurance basically uh
03:01no they're just going to go for a lot of lefties right and so uh dylan gabriel going there as
03:06well
03:06would be the funniest thing now now michael pennix is a little taller because they could have a really
03:10short they should have they could have a short quarterback room but i think michael pennix is like
03:14six three so he doesn't fall into that same bucket as the other guys but imagine your backups being
03:18short little short guy tua and an even shorter guy dylan gabriel that is quite the connection i don't
03:23know why but this weekend thinking about with everybody kind of reporting i know mary kay said
03:28and the browns could trade uh dylan gabriel if somebody gave them a decent offer and the more i
03:33thought about kevin stefanski's last act here was to overdraft dylan gabriel i did get insanely mad at
03:41kevin stefanski this week i noticed it felt like he should be he should be forced to give us a
03:45fourth
03:45round pick for dylan gabriel out of like hey you did me a solid by taking this smurf quarterback that
03:51i wanted so here's you know commensurate value a year later but now we might re-sign uh austin hooper
03:57who was obviously started with the falcons but then came here on that mega deal that would be very
04:00interesting uh i saw that that seemed to be a theme this past weekend people were re-litigating and
04:05they get really mad about the dylan gabriel draft pick as if we can somehow redo the draft
04:11and get something better it's like this is the the cards already dealt out you can't change them
04:16it did but it and we were both so infuriated last year it just made no sense that it's not
04:21revisionist history so i still get to be mad about it a year later and you get to be mad
04:25about it for
04:25a very long time i get to be really mad if they only get like a six round pick for
04:28him like a year
04:29later that is like a that is like why did we let this guy handpick when there were other like
04:35there were other guys who played ball last year and contributed to their team as many me did nothing
04:41here sorry i'm still really pissed about it guys i mean i feel like people do uh you make some
04:46desperate moves at the end of a relationship trying to save it that was that was them trying to repair
04:50this was defansky that was there we were gonna have a miracle baby or whatever yes yeah dylan
04:55gabriel dylan gabriel's their miracle you know it'll fix this problem it happened this void that was
05:00created by in our relationship by deshaun watson yeah we're gonna have a little bitty
05:05oregon-sized baby which you can accomplish the same thing by just adopting a dog you know you
05:09really can it's true you don't have to bring a child into the world to go ahead and try to
05:12prove
05:12that side note he's a tiny little guy people that split up and then share custody of dogs i'm not
05:19saying you guys are doing it wrong i'm just saying that seems insane to me well if there's no if
05:23there's
05:23no other kids attached right like if you're if you have kids maybe i guess you can work it out
05:27or
05:27something i don't know but like yeah you gotta share custody with the kids i think it's bad
05:31for him if you don't know i meant i meant with the dog obviously okay you cooper
05:38didn't know how you guys did things in chicago i don't think people are are uh as as keen into
05:43the
05:43idea that if you if you break up and you don't have kids you don't ever have to talk to
05:47the person
05:47again yeah there's no sharing of anything there's no anything like that like that's the
05:51you just wipe your hands clean i'm making that dog choose and if he doesn't choose wisely i'm out
05:56baby doll so wait so what are you gonna do you're gonna line up like you on one side and
05:59the the x
06:00on the other side and then just be like all right roscoe yep put him in the middle choose where
06:04you
06:04want to go and this is it all right and then while you're stacking the deck with like little beef
06:08jerkies in your pocket oh no no this will be this will be an honest situation and if he doesn't
06:13choose me i'll never look at him again right walk by him on the street he barks at me excitedly
06:18dead to me that's not your dog anymore yeah you're right i get that's your new man's problem not my
06:26problem i don't even feel bad for the new man it's just a dog it'll be fine it's not the
06:31words
06:31of a dog man right there just a dog just a dog it'll be fine i don't like as far
06:35as taking care
06:36of it it's so with this uh i guess we can circle back to the malik malik willis news the
06:42fact he's
06:42not coming to cleveland what's the best the browns can do at quarterback i mean i think everyone is
06:46leaning towards the idea that it's going to be should or versus deshaun watson and we're going to go
06:49from there as far as acquiring a quarterback i'm not giving up all right all right do something be
06:54adults get another quarterback in that room and they i mean they and they might i would think it
06:58come from the draft at this point maybe not maybe not from free agency oh god don't even do that
07:03tyler doesn't seem likely at this point uh i mean i can i interest you in a kirk cousins type
07:08thing
07:08because that that might be on the radar i saw chase daniel your guy he was uh he was predicting
07:12our boss
07:13no no no sorry chase daniels oh uh he was he was predicting how to uh kirk cousins of the
07:18browns
07:18i don't know an hour and a half ago yeah i'd still do that as long as i don't have
07:24to see
07:24deshaun next year deshaun's at the bottom of the really what you want is a should all
07:28should all wow twice should door versus competition i listened to too much steve palazzolo today did you
07:34almost say shouldong no no no palazzolo kept he does the should door thing that like the the
07:39should done to none thing and it just it was it was 18 minutes of him trying to fix the
07:43browns
07:43and he must have said should door's name maybe 75 times and all 75 were just way wrong for me
07:49um
07:49no so it's so funny when we talk about adding quarterbacks people react viscerally it's the
07:55should or fans it's the supporters as they were acting like we're trying to replace should door and
08:01i just have to tell you guys no i'm trying to make sure i don't ever have to watch deshaun
08:06watson play again they're at this point outside of kyler murray two is gonna be a conversation we
08:12have to have because he's out there and he would be on the same kind of deal as kyler murray
08:17you know one year 1.5 million dollar deal but outside of like a proven starter having started
08:23five to seven years in the nfl pretty much everybody that i'm going to bring in is going
08:28to compete with should door and should door has the natural leg up because he's here for multiple
08:33years and on a rookie contract so like anybody not named kyler geno smith okay geno you're going to
08:41be the 1b you have a chance to beat him out this isn't like should door last year in the
08:46quarterback
08:46room it was like the three quarterbacks in should door and then it was a four-man quarterback battle
08:50wink wink no no it's 1a 1b but no this is all about protecting me from never having to watch
08:57deshaun watson play ever again and i get that i'm right there with you that's what i want as well
09:01but i i just i don't know that it's coming i they they're going to do something to get rid
09:05of
09:05dylan gabriel i would imagine though and so i the way i read it right now i think and i've
09:09read this
09:09this way the entire time so there's nothing happening new here but it's it should door it's
09:13deshaun and then they draft somebody in like the second third fourth round and we go from there so
09:17we do have a little bit more nfl news to come along here uh the bucks mike evans who mary
09:23k is
09:24saying the browns inquired about by signing with the 49ers after 12 years in tampa that makes more
09:30sense makes a lot more sense yeah it didn't seem like mike evans was going to come here and i
09:33know
09:34they they tried to do some reporting earlier today about like he just wants the most amount of money
09:37but then it just completely belies everything they were saying for weeks on end with him wanting
09:41to actually play for a competitor so the initial word out there is a three-year deal for mike evans
09:46and by the way i nice wide receiver at this point in his career in a good system form if
09:52he can stay
09:52healthy in san francisco which is a big if at this point that's a good get for that offense and
09:58it
09:58gives him a chance to to chase a title which depending on how you feel about where the bucks were
10:04with baker i don't know they're going to be in that same position over the next year i mean it
10:07feels
10:07like they're kind of doing what the rams have consistently done rams bring in odell rams bring
10:11in davante adams like like you take some of these receivers that used to be great at the very end
10:15of
10:15their career and then you make them the two the three and you just kind of have them feast essentially
10:20and and like shanahan has done this a couple times but this one this one reads like a rams move
10:24more
10:25than anything else so it's interesting also we have a steelers deal to to report here is the steelers
10:29have signed jamel dean to a three-year deal worth 36 and a half or 36 and three-quarter million
10:35dollars uh that uh that according to rapaport and tom pelissero so the steelers have added
10:40jamel dean uh michael pitman and isn't there a third move that we have to that i'm completely
10:46blanking on right now maybe not maybe not but the point is that's a good first day of legal tampering
10:52for mike mccarthy and the steelers yeah they're at least they're getting busy with things this has
10:56been a wild day so far nick like i the amount of moves and the amount of players that are
11:00just going
11:00from team to team to team like the last two hours legitimately has been crazy i just think it's
11:05crazy i mean jamel dean's a nice corner i think it's crazy that a consistent starter for the last
11:10five years in the nfl look at the cornerback market in general look at the trent mcduffie money
11:15yeah crazy 36 million dollars for a consistent like good not great starter it's like very respectable
11:22money yeah when everything seems like it's just blowing up and everyone's getting insane amounts
11:25and the cap number being what it has been and raising the way that it did i think i think
11:31put
11:31a lot into this but yeah that's that's respectable i will tell you uh the internet uh from what i'm
11:36saying from browns fans are starting to get a little impatient the guys were two and a half hours
11:41into this i know okay we're just watching we're watching a lot of the guys fly off the board uh
11:44right
11:45now and i think that's where maybe it's not panic but i think there are people kind of settling
11:48into the idea that this isn't the and andrew barry told us this he said this is not the offseason
11:54that you're going to push all the chips in the middle of the table and really go for it
11:58but it really kind of screams the idea that they're just going to just kind of let this
12:01offseason come and go i mean the only guy that that that has been signed that i'm bummed to see
12:06go elsewhere is tyler linderbaum yeah and maybe cade mace because i thought that was we talked about
12:11him at length if we're even going to do something with wide receivers i would have loved alex pierce
12:14there was no way in hell they were going to 28 million dollars a year for him i mean maybe
12:18not but
12:18like these are some of the the big ticket items the big ticket people that we discussed and like maybe
12:23the reality is that this free agency class isn't just littered with a lot of awesome players but
12:28early on we're seeing a lot of the good ones get off the board
