00:00All right, I'm going to start with my man, Boris, who's on the line.
00:02What's up, Boris?
00:03Do you think Washington needs to go after Brandon Ayuk, Boris?
00:07First of all, first-time caller ever.
00:09Yes, I do, J.T. and Brian Nekko.
00:13Why?
00:16Why?
00:17That's because, right, like you said, and he wants to prove himself.
00:24He needs to come, check it wherever Adam decides to get to him.
00:29You need to prove yourself to me, or you are a commander.
00:33If not, oh, well, we'll go to the next one.
00:36But, yeah, I would like to have him, but you've got to prove yourself.
00:40We don't need to do what you did with 49ers.
00:42Not down here, down here, just because you're J.T.'s friend, and we already know.
00:47We had people that beat our friends, and what happened to us?
00:50What happened to them when you get them a job?
00:52They don't act right.
00:53Hey, yep.
00:56So, Brian and J.P., I appreciate everything.
00:59I just want to let you know, representing Dallas down here, and we've got a club down here.
01:05Have you ever come down here?
01:06All drinks are on me.
01:08Hell yeah.
01:08Come to Austin Avenue.
01:10All right.
01:11And Plano.
01:12All right, man.
01:12We've got a club representing for the commanders.
01:14All right.
01:15I got you.
01:16All right, Boris.
01:17Hey.
01:18Take care, man.
01:18You better realize, that could be a lot, me and J.P.
01:22Thank you for the call, dude.
01:23All right, that's one vote.
01:25Go get Iyuk.
01:26I thought what Matt Mayoko said about what an acquisition of Brandon Iyuk puts on Jaden
01:35Daniels' plate was really pretty interesting.
01:37Jeff, play that for me if you can, please.
01:39Yeah, he's not going to be on the team.
01:41I don't know, you know, they clearly think that they can get him or trade him for something.
01:50I don't know if there's a bit of pettiness involved here.
01:54I don't, I think, I mean, they have to have a good reason beyond pettiness to be keeping
01:59him around.
02:01With John Lynch, they've generally, you know, tried to do the right things.
02:06And I think they have a good reputation around the league with players and agents and coaches.
02:12And so, to me, that, you know, the pettiness, which is very obvious to look at and go, why
02:22don't they just cut him free and let him find his new spot?
02:25I mean, I don't think that they would ruin the franchise's reputation by being petty.
02:30So, they obviously feel that there's a competitive advantage for keeping him.
02:36And that would be to somehow get some kind of compensation for him rather than just let
02:42him dictate the terms of his release.
02:47All right, this question I'll ask.
02:49Based off of what he's saying, and you know what, listen, Matt may not believe it, but I
02:54believe there's definitely some damn pettiness going on.
02:57If they're waiting to try and get someone for him, I might not, and I think as we go
03:02with these calls, I want to ask these fans as well, do you think we need to try and trade
03:07for something for him?
03:09What do you think?
03:10Because, no.
03:12No, I'm not, I'm definitely not giving up nothing for him.
03:14I agree.
03:14If you release him, I'll sign you to a prove it deal.
03:18But I'm not giving up nothing for you.
03:21And the thing I look at is this.
03:24You think the 49ers don't know that he's good friends with Jaden?
03:28You think the 49ers don't know that Jaden wants him here and, you know, Adam has probably
03:35reached out to them or whatever?
03:37They're not trying to do him any favors right now.
03:40So if some team comes up and want to give him a deal, hell, they'll do better going to
03:45another team and say, hey, we'll work this deal out with you.
03:49Right.
03:49You go get him and we'll get him for you.
03:51You know what I mean?
03:52I agree that the trade aspect of this makes it that much more complicated.
03:57Even if you're talking a conditional sixth or something.
03:59Yes.
03:59For a team that doesn't have a ton of picks.
04:01Let's go to Alex is in Vienna.
04:05Alex.
04:06What about Alex?
04:07Do you trade for Brandon Ayuk?
04:10Trade, no.
04:11But sign him, yes.
04:14Receivers are divas.
04:15And quirky diva-ish personalities come with the territory.
04:21We've been squilled in this town because Terry McLaurin is not like that.
04:24You know, he's a model, professional, quiet, keeps himself, does his business, no drama,
04:29except for getting paid.
04:32You know, even going back to like Art Monk, Henry Ellard, we like professional button-down
04:36guys in this town within our wide receivers.
04:39But those are the exceptions, especially the modern wide receivers are all kind of flamboyant.
04:45So this comes with the territory.
04:47We got Terry in the room to keep him under wraps.
04:50Jayden can keep him under wraps.
04:52I think it's worth it.
04:52I wouldn't trade anything for him, but I'd certainly sign him.
04:56All right.
04:57Appreciate you, Alex.
04:58I'm curious.
04:59I wonder how long people feel you should wait because they can play.
05:05Now, you would think they'll get to a point where they are forced to have to let him go
05:10because they're going to need that space and all that.
05:12But like, as Matt stated, the money that was voided is no longer there, right?
05:17Right.
05:18So they don't have to worry about something that can't.
05:20Now, how long are you willing to wait?
05:24I mean, I understand the talent.
05:27I'm not a fool in that aspect, but I'm not putting my whole team on hold for nobody.
05:35Agreed.
05:36Got this tweet from Daryl.
05:38He says, Jayden is not the GM.
05:40He shouldn't have any qualifying input for bringing in IU.
05:43That should be Adam Peters' headache to deal with.
05:45We don't need anything that mirrors a LeBron GM situation like they have in L.A.
05:49I don't think that's the case, but players advocate for other players all the time.
05:54All the time.
05:54Even if it's just like...
05:55That's not the first time.
05:56When Dan was here, they did it all the damn time.
05:58Didn't you start getting more carries at running back because the starting defense was saying
06:04you were a problem and they were telling Coach Gibbs to give you work?
06:07Richard Pederbaum was doing it.
06:08Yeah.
06:10A football team is certainly a hierarchy, but people are allowed to express opinions.
06:16Yep.
06:18But I don't think Jayden is calling the shots either, which to the point of the LeBron thing,
06:23I agree with.
06:24The players shouldn't be calling the shots.
06:26I also wonder...
06:28I think Rashad White helps this football team, period.
06:33Next paragraph, you can also kind of say, hey, Jayden, sorry it didn't work out with
06:38B.A., but we got Rashad.
06:40That's your boy from Arizona State, too.
06:42Like, we hear your input.
06:45You know what I'm saying?
06:46Like, they can tangibly point to hearing their input.
06:50But, like, you can suggest, and I can check it out, but that needs to fall into the lap
06:57of the person that makes those decisions.
06:59Right.
07:00Adam has to think about that, too.
07:01Like, if I do get him, and it goes wrong, they're going to look at me?
07:07You can't pass the buck.
07:10You know what I'm saying?
07:11Yeah.
07:13If you...
07:14If I meet one of your friends, you're like, man, he's a good dude, he's my friend, I'm
07:18expecting him to be based off what you told me.
07:20Right.
07:20Then he comes to me, and he does something stupid.
07:24Although, you didn't do it, I'm going to be like, well, you introduced me to this dude.
07:27You know what I'm saying?
07:28And I think people are like...
07:29100%.
07:29Listen, I know...
07:31Like, if you bring somebody to a party with you, and they don't know anybody at the party,
07:34and they start a fight, or...
07:36It's going to come back to you.
07:37Yeah, dude.
07:38And I think people have to understand, like, you know, no.
07:41It shouldn't be certain ways, but once you vouch for somebody, what they do normally falls
07:49back in your lap.
07:51Point blank.
07:53All right, a bunch of people on the phone lines here.
07:56I'm going to go to Toothpick real quick.
07:58Pick, what up?
08:00What up, JT?
08:01What up, Kyle?
08:03Big hands, you miss?
08:05All right, Toothpaste.
08:06For me, man...
08:08See, I knew it was coming.
08:09That's why I had to get you first.
08:10For me, it's a no, right?
08:13It's a no on trading for Brandon Mayuk.
08:16I understand what they're trying to do.
08:18You're trying to get a younger wide receiver, because that's what we used to do, right?
08:22Quarterback, left tackle, wide receiver, they can all grow together.
08:25If you need a young wide receiver, let's call Jacksonville to see what's up.
08:29Like, if we want to improve it, you know, that's a fast wide receiver that's on the market.
08:35That's who I would trade for, and then wait for Brandon Mayuk to improve yourself as a free agent.
08:40I'm not giving up nothing for him.
08:42If I'm giving up anything, I'm giving it up for Brian Thomas, for your boy, Daniel Jacksonville.
08:46I appreciate y'all taking my call, man.
08:48I appreciate you.
08:49All right, phone lines are lit up.
08:51We're going to hit it next.
08:52Should Washington try to acquire Brandon Mayuk?
08:55Is that too much for Jaden?
08:56Should they just look the other way?
08:59Nobody go anywhere.
08:59It's B. Mitch Finley.
