00:06duncar scott anderson 97 one nfl free agency underway and the big news in the first
00:12hour here is that kenneth walker is headed to kansas city according to multiple reports
00:19agreeing to a free agent contract of course the super bowl mvp former michigan state spartan and
00:25wake forest demon deacon on his way to patrick mahomes team which makes a lot of sense makes a
00:33lot of sense given their two top running backs were on the free agent market uh no news yet to
00:39report on the detroit lions but i also like that there's no news on tyler linderbaum agreeing to
00:44terms anywhere should be a lot of suitors for him um given that the center position it hasn't dried up
00:51but tyler beatish agreed to a deal with the la chargers he was cut he was not a expiring contract
01:00so those guys that got cut before free agency could sign anywhere and didn't have to wait until
01:06agreeing to terms today which you can do with a team today you can't sign until wednesday
01:12uh the mcgovern dude went back to buffalo one of the highly more highly regarded centers on the market
01:17but nothing to report yet on tyler linderbaum nothing to report on cade mays nothing to report
01:23on lloyd cushionberry nothing to report on ethan pochich some of the more highly regarded centers
01:28still out there but it feels like if you're going to make a phone call and you're the detroit lions
01:33that'd be a good call to make to one of these centers yeah they need a center desperately uh i
01:40think
01:40it's desperately i guess it's because i don't like the other options i don't like the idea of trusting
01:44somebody who hasn't played center to move from guard over there um you got scrugs in a trade
01:53uh but is he better suited at guard or at center and is he really just a backup yeah um
01:58but according
01:59to pro football focus when he did play the games at center he graded out and won like halfway you
02:05know
02:06through the league when somewhere in there i think was 16th and 15th or 16th in the league
02:11um at the same time where graham glasgow did not he was it was much worse so maybe he isn't
02:18an
02:18upgrade but he hasn't played that many snaps there uh also uh edge rusher you and i both think they'll
02:25go veteran and it feels like cam jordan would be the type of player that would sign there uh calais
02:31campbell is also available another guy that seems to check a lot of boxes for them with some
02:37uh some wear on the tread but at the end of the day uh kind of player that would be
02:43a one-year
02:43cheaper contract and you might not want a cheaper guy you might want him to go trey hendrickson but
02:48if you're to prioritize i think most of detroit would agree and we're not really uh breaking new
02:53ground here rattling cages with a hot take i think most of detroit would agree center would be a priority
02:58over edge rusher but you know if they do decide to go big trey hendrickson's out there i i'm not
03:05a fan
03:06at this point in his career unless he comes on the cheap and there's no indications that he would
03:11come on the cheap no because he shouldn't he was hurt last year but the previous two years he had
03:1535 sacks in those previous two years so he's deserving of a monster contract um which is what
03:23he wanted from cincinnati wanted an extension they and they cincinnati just kept playing along and didn't
03:27do it they didn't trade him when they had all types of uh teams that were inquiring about him
03:33did cincinnati make a mistake yeah i think they made a huge mistake as far as edge rusher is
03:39concerned you and i both went on the record at the beginning of the show saying we would have paid
03:44what baltimore paid for max crosby certainly baltimore had a better first round pick this year
03:50as far as what vegas got back so you would have had to you would have had to to add
03:55a sweetener
03:56to make it worth them you're not taking the package of picks from baltimore and taking two picks from
04:01detroit and maybe a mid-round pick or not a particularly consequential player but if if i
04:08were in the lion's shoes and could have made this trade this is one area i think i have a
04:16i'm a little bit disappointed that they didn't do it now maybe they did also offer two first rounders
04:21and they just said nope we got a better offer we're going to take that
04:25uh but to me scott i would have done it with that said i also don't think the only way
04:31to an nfl
04:31championship is through having max crosby the other edge opposite of aiden hutchinson would have been a
04:37pain in the butt for teams to deal with but might be a missed opportunity in my opinion but there
04:43are
04:43other ways to get it done we'll see what they decide to do yeah i mean when it became more
04:47apparent last
04:48week that after you know some reporting on it that a restructure of the deal could have made it
04:55uh totally um palatable for against the cap that led me to thinking okay maybe this is something real
05:04this is this could actually happen but we kept hearing two first round picks and a player well
05:09the player wasn't involved it was just two first round picks and unfortunately baltimore has a higher
05:14pick than the lions do we don't know if the lions got involved i sure hope the lions were involved
05:19that they picked up the phone that they talked about it um and if they didn't they they better
05:25have a a good plan i think this offseason is really important for brad holmes because this is uh
05:30uncomfortable territory for him i think or at least it's just different territory he hasn't had to do
05:35what he's gonna have to do this offseason um you know it's a little bit more like this first offseason
05:40because he's he's not rebuilding necessarily but he has to rebuild an offensive line and he has to
05:45add some serious holes to a team that's already a good team 248-539-9797 let's get back to your
05:52open line calls we go to e in detroit you're on 97.1 hello e hey what's going on i
05:58got a champion
05:58chump for y'all all right my chump i gotta go chump first because it's chump of the year time
06:05is though
06:05last thursday instead of celebrating your senior night and celebrating your seniors you go on there
06:13and say whoa we let up that's why the team almost came back we let up because we're getting ready
06:19for
06:20michigan this that and the other and you still lose by 10. not only do you lose by 10 you
06:25get in
06:25the press conference and you say i'm nobody's i can't say the word little brother you lost two
06:32times this year your little brother role came from football it ain't even dealing with basketball
06:37but you lost twice this year and my champ of course is the big 10 champs 29 29 wins this
06:45year we should
06:46have beat wisconsin but we let up because we're looking forward to the next game we should have
06:51been undefeated in the big 10 it's okay though as long as we get that national championship april 7th
06:56that's all i really care about i'll just say this i think israel was joking about the michigan thing
07:03after the game um and they they put the seniors in and that's what led to the comeback but i
07:09i think
07:09that was a joke and then jeremy again i gotta jump to i gotta jump a and b jeremy come
07:16on man you
07:17wasn't falling bro he did not push you that hard man you're in the weight room bro that's your
07:22seniors you go to and i'm glad the referees teed him up for that yesterday go blue national champs
07:28let's go lions make a move please i see so have you seen the numbers on kind of walker's contract
07:34no
07:37it's not bad it's it's one that if okay the lions are gonna have to give an extension
07:42to jameer gibbs this isn't this what you're looking at the deal according to jordan schultz
07:48is three years for 45 million dollars i'm sorry for 43 million dollars but it could be worth up to
07:5545 million dollars 15 million a year
08:02that's it's running backs they don't get paid yeah they used to be the highest paid players in the
08:07league were running backs yep now it's it's one of the least paid position groups yeah that's
08:14interesting i would have expected more but i also don't think he would have rushed into a deal
08:21that would have you know that was an underpaid paid deal i think he probably
08:26had some semblance of a clue that this was the best deal for him
08:31248-539-9797 jeremy in detroit hi jeremy
08:35hey how's it going i called in today i want to talk about the kenneth walker thing i'm i'm a
08:40little
08:40disgusted right now to be quite frank with you in what sense i think i think kenneth walker
08:46one of the most overrated running backs probably of this decade and one of the weakest superbowl
08:53mvps we've had and one of the weakest superbowls and probably that i've seen in my life span
08:59are you a chief fan uh i'm not a chief fan you're a michigan fan i'm not the lions fan
09:05but i'm at
09:06work and i'm hearing all this hype about kenneth walker and how chiefs are back and this and that
09:11and i think pacheco is a hundred times the player kenneth walker is looking for you i i mean stand
09:17up
09:17for that i would disagree with a hundred times a player and why do you why do you even care
09:22he's
09:23not coming here i'm sick of hearing it at work i've been hearing it all day past hours and trying
09:28to eat lunch i hear it all i hear is kenneth walker that kenneth walker that the chiefs are back
09:32and i
09:32just think i hope you're telling people at work i didn't like him at state i didn't like him on
09:37the
09:37seahawks i don't like him i don't like him now oh you didn't like him at state why not oh
09:42because
09:42you weren't a fan of michigan state okay gotcha because i'm pretty sure every single spartan is
09:48pretty happy with michigan state for the one year but it's okay good for you that's some built-up angst
09:54that's uh that's some troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll troll
10:01troll troll troll troll i will tell you if you if you have a problem with the people at work
10:05take it up people at work
10:10and what can you do that dude's pretty good
10:15it's a horrible choice for a super bowl mvp yeah what do you have 160 yards or something like that
