00:00Okay, we'll touch table on some free agency stuff.
00:03And I do have a little bit of an update, but I'll save it for later.
00:07David, music first.
00:23Okay.
00:24Thank you, Winnebago man.
00:26All right.
00:26Well, no more.
00:30All right, guys.
00:31Can we say that 36 hours or so into free agency that Patrick Mahomes was a big winner?
00:39His offense got a boost that he needed running game and his favorite target is now back.
00:46Hmm.
00:48I understand canine on paper.
00:51I just I don't get that he doesn't catch the football.
00:54And as they as they have progressed, Mahomes is a little bit more checked down.
00:59You want to be able to use an outlet and Andy Reid offense.
01:03The other thing is I didn't love Kelsey coming back.
01:06I think he's toast and I wish he'd just go get married and become Michael Strahan 2.0.
01:11I've had enough.
01:13I'm not going to say he's the biggest winner.
01:14You want to tell me, hey, they're helping him out.
01:16They're going to bounce back, make the playoffs next year as long as he plays.
01:19Not the biggest, but a big 12 games.
01:21Okay, fine.
01:21I just hate Kelsey.
01:24I do think he's a big winner here.
01:26The run game is going to help him.
01:27I do think they pair Kenneth Walker up with someone that can catch out of the backfield.
01:32That will actually help him even more.
01:34So I do think he's a huge winner here.
01:36I think it kind of levels out.
01:37You got canine who doesn't really catch passes, but I think that is a good add for that team.
01:42So long as you do what David said, but also Travis Kelsey coming back is I agree with Mike.
01:47I think that's very that's very silly.
01:48It's 21 and a half million dollars.
01:50I'd rather have Isaiah likely at 15.
01:52At least the guy can move his legs.
01:54So I think the net net is even even Steven.
01:57Okay.
01:58Question mark.
01:58Okay.
02:00Also doesn't help when you trade your top two corners.
02:03Well, that's why I said just my home, not the Chiefs.
02:06Patrick Mahomes.
02:07All right.
02:08Go ahead.
02:08I got a stat for you before I give you my can we say that Mike, you like playing games.
02:15Who's most go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter or overtime since the start of the year 2022?
02:23Can you name the top four?
02:25This is going to be something insane, isn't it?
02:28So go-ahead scores, which means you're always behind.
02:31Go ahead.
02:31Score in the fourth or overtime since the start of 2020.
02:34Watch.
02:34It'll be something stupid like Kyler Murray and I can just get up and leave.
02:40Matthew Stafford at 8.
02:42Josh Allen at 9.
02:44These make sense.
02:45Dak Prescott at 10.
02:47Sorry about the wedding.
02:48Geno Smith at 14.
02:50Oh, God.
02:52Yeah, if you're the other team.
02:55Apparently, he also had 14 game-winning drives.
02:58Is Aaron Glenn trying to get fired?
03:002-4-8.
03:01Well, but here's the thing.
03:03Geno Smith going back to the Jets will prolong Aaron Glenn's tenure for New York.
03:10Oh, like hell.
03:11No.
03:11You cannot say that.
03:12Would you like to change your bet?
03:14Of what?
03:15That he won't start a game?
03:18No.
03:19Okay.
03:19He's going to double down on that.
03:21I just think Aaron Glenn's fired by Halloween.
03:23This is, this is, I don't know what's happening.
03:25I feel so bad.
03:26I just need Geno to start one game.
03:27I know you do.
03:28Yeah, if I'm Aaron Glenn, I would, if you have a home, I would sell it and live in a
03:32hotel because you're going to be leaving New York real soon.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Get ahead of the market.
03:37Summer's a great time to sell.
03:39Pre-order the taxi right now to the airport.
03:42Yeah.
03:43It's Geno Smith.
03:46Okay.
03:48Can we say the 49ers made a good move with the signing of Mike Evans in that contract structure?
03:54I just want to make sure I understand the contract structure.
03:56If he gets hurt in any way, shape, or form, he loses all his guaranteed money like Brandon
04:00Iyuk's ice cream cone, right?
04:02Pretty much.
04:02So it's a one-year deal pretty much?
04:04Yeah.
04:04For about 16.8.
04:07I'll live with it.
04:08With a lot of incentives that may not be that easily achieved.
04:12Okay.
04:12So once again, the splashy headline is not the reality of the deal.
04:16Correct.
04:16Then yes, I'm fine with it.
04:18Yeah.
04:19It's essentially, yes, just 16.3.
04:21That's the only thing that's guaranteed in his entire deal.
04:24Why don't you go pay Hendrickson?
04:26Pair him up with Bosa and make it happen.
04:29What are you waiting on?
04:30I don't, Mike, I don't know what, you know what?
04:33How about we just go right into that?
04:35Is Trey Henderson getting a reality check when it comes to free agency?
04:39Yeah.
04:39It's interesting.
04:40I can read a piece of this article in a minute.
04:42But yes, basically, a couple of teams are reporting there's as much as a $10 million salary gap.
04:48So no, I don't think he's asking for 40.
04:51And I don't think teams are offering him 30.
04:55So it would lead you to believe he's asking for 35.
04:57They're offering 25.
04:59I don't know.
05:01Because when you see, you know, what Jalen Phillips got, it's like, okay, that's what put a wrench in his
05:07negotiations.
05:08He saw what Phillips got, and he says, well, I'm better than that.
05:14And now he changed his negotiation.
05:16No one's going to give him 30, 35.
05:18They're not going to do it.
05:20And remember, the Bengals offered him, this is another Mike Evans example.
05:24They offered him three years at $95 million.
05:27But when you lift up the hood on the contract, there was no guaranteed money in year two or three.
05:34So it looked pretty on paper, but it was really nothing more than a franchise tag.
05:38So that's why he wanted out of there.
05:42The problem is he's hitting the open market.
05:44And to this point, no one's paying the freight.
05:48It just leads you to wonder, like, the longer it goes, is he going to go on, as you like
05:54to say, the DVD discount band,
05:56where maybe it ends up four to 100, but it's largely fully guaranteed?
06:01I don't know.
06:02Rico, look, this is also, too, the Bengals allowed his agent to shop for trades that would have to come
06:10with an extension,
06:11which means they were given the ability to do reconnaissance work on what the market was bearing.
06:18So, yeah, it feels like they've overshot the mark here.
06:23Yeah, call this bold.
06:24Call it whatever you want.
06:25But I've always felt he was a candidate to retire, meaning he doesn't get the contract he wants,
06:31and he just decides, I'm just going to step away.
06:34Let me offer you this one more.
06:36The longer this draws out, could it be where he signs a one- or two-year deal and tries
06:42to do this again in a few years?
06:45No, because of his age.
06:47He's not Jalen Phillips at age, you know, 26 or whatever.
06:50Or a two-year deal, like, you know, he signs somewhere two years.
06:52This is it.
06:52This is his last bite at the apple.
06:54He's 31, 32 years old.
06:56I'd be afraid to give him a five-year deal.
06:59Now, if it's five on paper, but I can get out after three, okay.
07:03The time I'm willing to pay you, I'm willing to pay you for two good years,
07:07knowing the third you may fall off a cliff.
07:10But it is interesting, is that if this price comes down, does that open up the landing spots?
07:15And that's what I'm wondering.
07:16Because teams have spent money.
07:17Where it ends up becoming a, you know, a three-year 75 or a three-year $80 million deal.
07:23He could get his money from Dallas.
07:24Come on.
07:25You know Jerry's on his bond yacht, shining his plums.
07:28He's ready.
07:29The longer it goes, the more I think Dallas is going to become a player.
07:32The bluish hue.
07:34I think the Raiders as well.
07:36Oh, my.
07:37Can we say.
07:41That's Jerry Jones on his bond yacht, seeing Hendrickson's price drop.
07:45Can we say that.
07:47Two for one at the market.
07:48The Atlanta Falcons will be looking for a new quarterback next year.
07:53Yeah, hopefully another left-handed one.
07:54Why don't they only draft left-handed quarterbacks?
07:57They now have left-handed Tua, left-handed Pennix.
08:00We got a lefty in the draft.
08:02Is Steve Young available?
08:03Yeah, honestly.
08:04Is Steve DeBerg?
08:05Like, what do you want to.
08:06I mean, it's unbelievable.
08:08But I actually.
08:09I'm like, all right.
08:10Well, at least you don't have to change the whole offense in the playbook and flip everything
08:14to the other side.
08:16Tua sucks.
08:17Bring in the other lefty.
08:19Whoa.
08:21Can we say that the Titans have made the best move so far?
08:25No.
08:26No.
08:27The Titans have done drunken sailor.
08:29Look, Wondell Robinson is a fine enough little player.
08:33He's a four-foot-tall receiver.
08:35You're paying $18 million a year.
08:37What are you doing?
08:39Cordell Flott and all that.
08:40I mean, look.
08:41They went for volume.
08:42They're spending because they had a lot of cap.
08:45And, yes, you want to insulate your quarterback.
08:47Would have loved to have seen them do more on the offensive line, frankly.
08:50I don't think they're.
08:52It's crazy to say this.
08:53I don't think they're trying to win.
08:55I think they're trying to look fun and be decent.
08:59Remember, they're opening up a new stadium after this season.
09:03So, I think that's what the splash was.
09:06Let's look exciting offensively, but does this not really be good?
09:10I'll say it again.
09:11Wondell Robinson.
09:12Huh?
09:13Can we say that the New England Patriots have found Drake May his target in
09:18Romeo Dobbs?
09:20Signed a, looks like a four-year.
09:22Yeah, 20 a year.
09:23$68 million.
09:24$68 million deal.
09:25Look, it's how much is guaranteed?
09:27I don't know.
09:29That I don't know, but it's.
09:31We'll just deal with the player.
09:32He's got Steph Diggs.
09:33Romeo Dobbs always had a habit with the Packers of making the big catch.
09:37And is it an overpay?
09:39Of course it is.
09:40It's a wide receiver in free agency.
09:42I like the player.
09:43I do.
09:45It's just, it's a terrible overpay, but your quarterback doesn't make any money.
09:49You can get away with crap like this because he's on his rookie deal.
09:53And by the time you go to pay him, Romeo Dobbs will be dead.
09:57So I don't mind it.
09:58He always had a habit of making big plays for Jordan Love in big spots.
10:03I'm okay with it.
10:05And you know, on the other side, Kayshawn Butte is their deep threat guy as well.
10:09They got a lot of verticality in that offense now.
10:12And Drake May throws a beautiful deep ball.
10:14But like Dobbs will become, you know, wide receiver one.
10:17One A.
10:18Okay.
10:18I don't know.
10:19They're not done yet.
10:20Okay.
10:21You know something?
10:22No.
10:23I just, they're all in.
10:25Okay.
10:25Just curious.
10:26David, before I get to the last one.
10:29Can we say, due to what they have done in free agency, the Los Angeles Rams are the Super
10:37Bowl favorites for next year?
10:38Sure.
10:39I mean, it's not worth a hill of beans, but sure.
10:43I mean, they have fixed the one area of concern.
10:46Well, special teams was a little ratty.
10:47But their big area of concern, corner.
10:49What'd they do?
10:50Went out and got a superstar, all pro level guy.
10:53Okay.
10:54And then Jalen Watson is the support staff.
10:57And they're really nice.
10:58What?
10:58Number 13 pick as well.
11:00Sure.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Look, I'll say yes.
11:03And they brought back, which I think is big Cameron Curl as well.
11:07Their safety.
11:07So bringing him back, I think adds to what they did at the cornerback position.
11:12What about Landman?
11:14Guy looks like he played in 1985, the linebacker for them.
11:18Yeah.
11:19So that is, can we say that?
