00:00It's time to go around the entire NFL and dip into some gridiron gravy.
00:07Dip it and rip it.
00:09Kyle Pitts, in fact, signed his franchise tender and he will be attending offseason workouts.
00:16He still have the opportunity, much like the George Pickens scenario, to negotiate a multi-year deal through July 15th.
00:23This is his first year to have still less than 1,000 yards, but over 670 yards receiving.
00:33Okay.
00:35He had 900-something yards this year.
00:38Yeah.
00:39He had not had over 700 yards receiving since his rookie season.
00:43Wow.
00:44Yeah, I think he's been a colossal disappointment.
00:46I know, obviously, he had the most amazing breakout game freaking ever.
00:50All right, now I want you to picture a scenario in which you have all of the money.
00:56Let's say you have $100 million.
01:00That's not all of it.
01:01Okay.
01:01You have a lot of the money.
01:03I have 20 billion rubles.
01:06I don't know that conversion rate.
01:08No, I thought it was.
01:10So...
01:10I have that huge rock up in space that they have in For All Mankind.
01:15Yeah, it's worth everything.
01:17Okay.
01:17All right, that's how much I have.
01:18That, then that is $255 million, by the way, for the rubles.
01:24All right, I'm taking more now.
01:25All right.
01:25You said imagine.
01:27The odds that Fernando Mendoza will be the first pick overall are minus 20,000.
01:35Which means you'd have to bet $20,000 to win $100.
01:39Let's take it a step further.
01:41Would you bet $2 million to win $10,000?
01:46I have all the money?
01:47You have all the money.
01:48I am not suggesting this to other people.
01:52Yes.
01:52I don't think he...
01:54Obviously, you wouldn't find a book to take this, but that meant if you bet $2 billion,
01:59you could win $10 million.
02:01At that point, I feel like...
02:02You can't force them to take your $2 billion?
02:04I...
02:05Sure, casinos have a cap.
02:07I don't know what that cap is offhand, but...
02:11I want to find a place that says no cap.
02:12Okay.
02:14Yeah.
02:14Well, that's great.
02:16Well, you know what?
02:17Actually, if you won, it would be for $10 million.
02:19I know the casinos have that.
02:21I was going to say, what casino has just got $2 billion?
02:24But you know what?
02:25Maybe they do.
02:25All right.
02:26Miles Garrett, who definitely loves the Cleveland Browns and is definitely not getting traded,
02:31so they say.
02:31He is not expected to attend the start of the team's voluntary off-season program, per Ian
02:37Rappaport.
02:38And Rappaport, well, Rappaport said it's not a big issue, and there's no reason to doubt
02:43his future with the club, even though he's not showing up to these workouts, and they
02:47renegotiated his contract.
02:48Or not renegotiated, re-did.
02:50Last year, he got his contract done, right?
02:53Yeah.
02:53He was like, trade me.
02:54And they were like, here's more money.
02:55He was like, deal.
02:57And now he's like, never mind, not showing up.
03:01Why?
03:02What do you voluntary mean?
03:03That's not...
03:05Okay.
03:06Well, because remember, they wanted him to be maybe more of a leader, so this is probably...
03:09So now he's like...
03:10Probably not the best way.
03:11The best way to be more of a leader is to be less of a leader.
03:14Yeah.
03:15All right.
03:15So let's go...
03:16So Jerry definitely didn't want him.
03:18Yeah, I mean...
03:19Like, this is the same thing.
03:20Based on all his comments about Micah, that would lead me to believe that same thing.
03:25I want you to show up even though we don't have this contract done.
03:27Yeah?
03:28Well, let's go to the Cowboys.
03:31So the Athletic put out a survey with confidential answers from NFC executives about various teams
03:38in the NFL.
03:39I wanted to highlight three of them.
03:41For the Cowboys, do you think this is fair?
03:44One executive said, they're one of those spin-your-wheels type teams that never really gets any better.
03:52Yes.
03:53Ooh.
03:54Right?
03:55I mean, I get it.
03:56Like, even when they do get better, they'll slide some way.
04:01Yeah.
04:02They just kind of find...
04:03It seems like they want to quick patch up things.
04:07A hundred percent.
04:08Instead of truly go through with the process that it takes.
04:12And then they're like, well, while we're quick patching, we also want to do it on the cheap.
04:17Yeah.
04:17And that isn't the effective way to do it.
04:19Now, for the Falcons, there's nothing about what they have done that I can say, that makes sense.
04:27Damn!
04:28Except for whenever they said, look, if we put any signage on the roof, it'll mess up and it'll mess
04:36up the thing.
04:36That was pretty genius.
04:37They get to keep the Mercedes-Benz logo up there during the soccer stuff.
04:40How they got away with that and the World Cup was like, no, that makes sense.
04:44And then for the Steelers, what is the plan?
04:47Like, what is the vision?
04:50That feels fair to me right now because maybe you were waiting around for Aaron Rodgers.
04:56Great.
04:57He's not that good at football anymore.
04:58So how's that going to work out?
05:00Yeah.
05:01Wow, Kevin.
05:02Did you see this on Mendoza?
05:04No.
05:06According to Schefter, Mendoza has informed the NFL that he is not planning...
05:12To go to the draft?
05:13To go to the draft.
05:14Okay.
05:15Who cares?
05:15He wants to share the draft experience with his family in Miami.
05:18I care.
05:19Bring your fame.
05:20You're the number one overall pick.
05:21Be there.
05:21Which Miami?
05:23Probably the one at Oklahoma.
05:25Okay.
05:25Miami.
05:25All right.
05:27So it bothers you he's not going to be there?
05:28Yeah.
05:29You're the number one overall pick.
05:30Oh!
05:31You should be wearing the shield for the NFL.
05:33Like, all these things.
05:34You need to be there for this.
05:36Take your family with you.
05:37Does it stop at pick one and then you have more leeway or is there a cutoff point?
05:42Well, I don't love the Aaron Rodgers situation is tough.
05:45You know, to see some...
05:46You sit in the green room.
05:47Will Levis thing is tough.
05:48So I would probably...
05:50I would say number one overall needs to be there.
05:53Okay.
05:53Especially when you know you're the dude.
05:55Okay.
05:56Yeah.
05:56Because you don't want to hear that, well, if I'm blessed enough to be number one, we're
06:00like, dude, we all know you're going to be pick number one.
06:02And if you just want to be there just to be drafted for the second, for that second...
06:06Yeah.
06:07And then tell the Raiders, now put me on a PJ home.
06:11I want to go see my family right now.
06:13Okay.
06:14But you need to be there.
06:15I get you.
06:16Now, let's talk about another...
06:17I'm out on this kid, Kevin.
06:18I don't even know if he should be number one overall now.
06:21Because it's not really cocky, right, to say, I want to stay at home with my family.
06:25That doesn't really scream like, this guy's got an ego.
06:28No, it screams that he is as humble as we think he is.
06:31Well, bygone it.
06:32I don't think I said that right.
06:34All right, so let's go to Cam Ward.
06:37Cam Ward, another former overall number one pick.
06:41Robert Sala said he has the right work ethic, and I just don't see him failing.
06:47Can you see a scenario in which Cam Ward, who once said, when he figures it all out, the
06:56league is effed.
06:58Can you see a scenario in which Cam Ward fails?
07:03Yeah, I mean, we saw it this year.
07:06Future scenario.
07:07So, yeah, like, I think, yes.
07:10There are plenty of those futures.
07:12I'm interested to see...
07:14Man, Robert Sala just goes to bad places with bad quarterbacks.
07:19Do you think that's because those are the only places that will take him?
07:22He's like, this is my only shot.
07:24I have to do this.
07:24Yes!
07:25But I think that Cam Ward has a good future.
07:29I think they're going to be a stout defense.
07:31They're going to be effective in getting the ball back to him.
07:34So whether or not that offense can turn it around, I think he can win more games.
07:39Okay.
07:41But nothing's told me so far in the NFL that he's just going to be a lights-out quarterback
07:46and that his team's that good either.
07:48Now, Liam Cohen talking about Trevor Lawrence, let's stick with quarterbacks, said there's
07:51so much room to continue to improve.
07:54I think we got a closer version of what a lot of people thought Trevor Lawrence was going
07:57to be this last year.
07:59Do you see another level up for him?
08:02Kind of the person I was thinking about, it might sound weird, is Jack Leiter.
08:05Like, we saw him level up and now we're all hopeful he really levels up this year.
08:09Feels like Trevor Lawrence leveled up.
08:11Do you think we can see another level up from him?
08:13I do.
08:16I just hope he's more calm.
08:18More of a calm presence in the pocket.
08:20You know, one of the things, I think one of the knocks Broadus had on him before he came
08:24out as the number one overall pick was in that game, in one of the championships, in the
08:28championship game.
08:29He got, his feet got a little...
08:31Happy feet.
08:31Yeah.
08:32And I think that that's kind of been something I've noticed is whenever he's tall in the
08:36pocket, he's very good.
08:38And like most quarterbacks are.
08:40But he does typically get a, oh gosh, what's happening right now?
08:43And then it's a panic play for him.
08:45So, but I think that if he can find comfort in this offense, because how many different
08:48coaches and offensive coordinators has he had since he started?
08:51Right.
08:52It'd be nice for him to have that option again.
08:54Including, as Mike would say, fingers magoo.
