00:00It's either small or it's not skilled.
00:04Maybe this is a big guy who's more of a credible downfield threat
00:08to run those love-of-the-game routes to maintain the structure
00:12and the integrity of what you're trying to threaten the defense with.
00:15Maybe they feel like Turpin and Flannoy didn't give them enough of that.
00:21And this would do that.
00:23They lost a game.
00:25The Steelers did last year when Metcalf was out with the suspension
00:29for slapping up that Lions fan.
00:31Do you guys remember that?
00:33And at the end of one of those two games,
00:35I don't know if it was the Browns game or the other one,
00:37but they had like four chances from the five-yard line,
00:40and Rodgers threw it to his guy MVS on every single one.
00:45And it was like an exposure of the bromance between Rodgers and MVS,
00:50but it was also an exposure of how bad his hands were
00:52and how bad his body control was.
00:55As far as trying to get up and turn and track that ball and bring it down,
01:01he just couldn't do it.
01:02And it was embarrassing and heartbreaking.
01:05Okay, Cowboys are also meeting with Tyler Johnson,
01:07who's a wide receiver who's been with the Vikings and the Bucs,
01:11and then Curtis Robinson, who is a linebacker who was recently with the 49ers.
01:17So it looks like just kind of filling out the roster type of dudes.
01:20Yeah, they still have.
01:20I think they had five open spots.
01:23They're at 85 players, I want to say.
01:25You can get up to 90.
01:26So now they've got four open spots with the MVS signing.
01:29So, yeah.
01:30I mean, I think you're just rounding it out right now.
01:34Cowboys linebacker DeMarvy and Overshown has hired David Mulligetta.
01:39Dun, dun, dun.
01:41That's the new chess play right there for these players that feel like they could get legit contracts.
01:48And for Overshown, he's going to have to do a lot of staying healthy and producing this year in order
01:52to get that.
01:53But, yeah.
01:55Here we go, man.
01:57Here we go again.
01:58Strap in.
01:59I mean, with Mulligetta, like, over the weekend, I was like, man, maybe it's not that bad.
02:05Pickens is going to sign this franchise tag.
02:08Talk kumbaya, baby.
02:09We're good.
02:09And then with today's events, it's like, I don't know.
02:14You know, I mean, I think it's a good idea.
02:16If I'm Overshown, great idea.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Anybody that could hire David Mulligetta should.
02:24The story I read said Overshown's doing this to make sure he can get maximum value, whether that's from the
02:29Cowboys or somebody else.
02:31And that's exactly, you know, what you're supposed to do in your situation where you're trying to be compensated for
02:37your talents.
02:39I think from a Cowboys perspective, a Cowboys fan perspective, the more interesting question is just that, you know, if
02:44he stays healthy in 2026, do you want to see your team make a long-term commitment to him?
02:49It would terrify me.
02:51You know, it might be even worse than the Sean Lee decision that they had to make in 2013 or
02:562014.
02:56They end up, you know, signing him to a second contract, and he was hurt for half of it, Brian.
03:01What do you think?
03:01Yeah, to me, he's got to find a way to put together a whole season.
03:07You know, I don't need to get through training camp, and all of a sudden, you know, we're going to
03:12miss some practices, and all of a sudden, we're missing week four, five, six, or something.
03:17But, yeah, I think I'm going long-term there.
03:20I am definitely asking for him to play an entire season before I'd even consider it.
03:27But this team has a way of not doing it that way.
03:30I think with a player with Overshawn, and you're right, but with a player with Overshawn, if he played a
03:35full 17 games plus playoffs, hopefully, I would just think you just got lucky there.
03:40And he's got to be due for an injury.
03:42It might take three healthy seasons from Overshawn before, I would believe, the next full season that he attempts to
03:50play would be a successful.
03:52It's a tough one, man.
03:53I mean, it's just a bummer how as soon as he gets back, boom, something's happened.
03:58Yeah.
03:58I mean, I just don't see him getting a top-of-the-market deal anyway right now.
04:03And the Mulligetta stuff, the Cowboys work with a lot of agents.
04:06He's not going away.
04:07Every time the Cowboys have a David Mulligetta client, we don't need to go, oh, and live in fear.
04:13I think the Micah incident was an isolated deal.
04:16I think Micah was more at fault than anybody else in that situation.
04:19And I don't think it's a David Mulligetta versus the Cowboys thing.
04:22I think Mulligetta's just damn good at his job.
04:23And every team's a little bit scared of him.
04:26I don't know.
04:27You know, this story is so weird because it came out during the draft that Pickens was going to sign
04:33his tag.
04:34And then it comes out that that story is not true.
04:36No, it is.
04:37And so Jeremy Fowler actually just cleared that up and said he did give the Cowboys a verbal agreement that
04:41I'm going to sign the tag.
04:42He just physically hasn't signed the tag.
04:45Okay.
04:45So all in the case, he said verbally, I'm signing it.
04:48Physically, just hasn't done it.
04:50Okay.
04:50So.
04:52Procrastinator, man.
04:53Been there.
04:54Yeah.
04:54I don't know.
04:55Yeah.
04:56I mean, you've got to be here.
04:57He was late for the signing.
04:58It's okay.
04:59We'll be all right.
05:00Okay.
05:00So he is informed the Cowboys.
05:02He said that he will sign it.
05:03We can take that thing to the bank now.
05:05I guess.
05:05I don't know.
05:06We need a few hours.
05:07We're 97% confident this is the last twist and turn in this saga?
05:12No.
05:12I don't know.
05:13We're 90% confident it's not.
05:15Yeah, we're 100% confident it's not.
05:18Cowboys wire.
05:19Terrence Watson has four Cowboys free agents they should sign.
05:23Now running back is Zamir White.
05:26He's been with the Raiders.
05:27Couldn't get a lot of carries.
05:28They had Josh Jacobs and they had Ashton Gentty.
05:31Debo Samuel says, give him those Kevante Turpin offensive reps.
05:36I mean, he was kind of on the right path.
05:39Sniffing around at wide receiver.
05:41Cowboys go with Valdez Scantling.
05:42That would have been kind of fun to bring in Debo.
05:45But he's probably washed.
05:47Rasul Douglas, veteran corner in Miami.
05:50He has played under Fangio, is the thought here.
05:54That's kind of fun, isn't it?
05:55Rasul Douglas, still a free agent.
05:57He was good for Miami at the end of that year.
05:59I mean, he played pretty well.
06:01I'm honestly kind of surprised.
06:04Is he not picked up anywhere?
06:07Yeah, kind of a good player.
06:09He was pretty good last year.
06:10He must be waiting for the right offer.
06:12You know, you're not going to get me for peanuts.
06:14Just because I'm old, I'd rather just walk away.
06:17I think that's what Eric Hendricks is basically doing.
06:20Speaking of linebacker, how about some Bobby Wagner?
06:23He's still out there, physical run-stopping linebacker at this stage of his career.
06:27He was so dang good at it.
06:28He ended up being a top 10 linebacker on PFF.
06:32I don't think you'd find any tape watchers that would say Bobby Wagner is a top 10 linebacker,
06:36but he's still good.
06:38And if the Cowboys want that kind of player, it's sitting out there.
06:42And I think you could argue the need of linebacker is still pretty significant.
06:46How about we go to post-draft questions for all 32 teams?
06:50This is from ESPN's network of NFL reporters.
06:54It's our next story to get to in the C-note.
06:57And it is linebacker for the Cowboys.
06:59Have they done enough there with the fifth-rounder for D Winters
07:04and the third-round pick of Jayshon Barham out of Michigan?
07:08You also have Overshone, Shamar James, and Justin Barron.
07:12As far as off-ball linebackers, they say Winters can walk in as a starter,
07:17but Stephen Jones said the Cowboys will continue to look for help
07:20either through free agency or the trade market,
07:22but the move for Winters reduced the Cowboys' need to add to that position immediately.
07:28What do you think?
07:29Would this be sufficient to start a season?
07:32No?
07:32No.
07:32That's false.
07:33Yeah.
07:34No, I see them making one more move.
07:35And maybe it is just as simple as a late-in-the-off-season veteran free agent signing.
07:41How about a guy that can play?
07:42I mean, I'm not saying that towards you, Eric.
07:44I'm just saying that.
07:45Yeah, I mean, ideally you trade for somebody who's maybe a tick better than whatever Winters is.
07:49Just get on the phone and start calling these teams.
07:53And if your pro guys have got a linebacker, too,
07:56that kind of determine that this team, with the additions that they made over the weekend,
08:01that they might be moving on from some veteran guys, do the job there.
08:07Don't sit there and just think that adding some guy from the UFL is going to cover this thing up.
08:14You know, go in there and get like a trade.
08:16You're okay trading third and fourth round picks.
08:19Do it one more time and find a guy that can legitimately play.
08:22I love that.
08:23Let's have these guys we're talking about be part of the depth,
08:27but go get a guy to be next to Overshown that's going to make you better.
08:32Not just try to be sufficient.
08:34Okay, elsewhere in the division, how will the new additions fit in Sean Mannion's scheme in Philadelphia?
08:41They did a nice job, didn't they?
08:42You tip your cap to Howie Roseman.
08:44They bring in Eli Stowers, the local kid here from DFW, plus Makai Lemon.
08:51You add that to Devontae Smith, Dallas Goddard, and Dontavian Wicks,
08:56with A.J. Brown presumably on his way out.
09:00I think training for Grenard was a big pick for them, too.
09:03Oh, yeah, it turns out it took two threes.
09:05Yeah.
09:06And they gave him a fat contract.
09:07Fat contract, dude.
09:08Yeah, I think that guy could play.
09:10We talked about that when Dallas was kind of hunting, potentially hunting some edges.
09:15I think this guy could have definitely come in and helped you.
09:18Have the commanders done enough around Jaden Daniels?
09:22You know, they got a lot of work to do with their roster.
09:24It's kind of amazing how good 2024 was, considering how many holes are on that roster.
09:28Pop-up year.
09:29They drafted Antonio Williams in the third round.
09:31That's right, Wolchuk.
09:32You called it.
09:33Williams mostly played in the slot.
09:36Ed Clemson showed the ability to win outside.
09:38Commanders needed another playmaker to go along with Terry McLaurin.
09:41They could also eventually sign Brandon Iyuk, that remains uncertain when the 49ers are going to make a final decision
09:49on him.
09:49And then how do the Giants fill out the Dexter Lawrence-less defensive line?
09:55Joe Shane said the Giants will stay in touch with the agents of DJ Reader, Shelby Harris, and Benito Jones.
10:01Giants might even have a couple more veterans visit.
10:04The bottom line is they will add a veteran to the mix, drafting Bobby Jameson Travis in the sixth.
10:11Isn't enough?
10:12So that's a look around the division coming out of the draft to wrap up the scene.
