00:00The, you know, first two to three waves of free agency are done.
00:04We are now looking into the rear view to see the 2026 draft.
00:08What else does Washington need to do between now training camp,
00:14now and opening day?
00:15The obvious answer is add another receiver.
00:19And Brandon Ayuk is certainly going to be a strong possibility
00:23when he gets released.
00:26It's not if, it's when.
00:28The best thing for our team would be if he got released today.
00:33We don't want him released on August 31st where he misses out
00:38on an entire offseason with the new offensive coordinator,
00:41with his quarterback, with other receivers,
00:44and now we're playing catch-up at the beginning of the season.
00:48I'm wondering if I can interest any of you in Stefan Diggs.
00:55I keep thinking about Stefan Diggs because Stefan Diggs for a year is usually
01:01outstanding, and that's when it's like, okay, we've had enough of him.
01:06Because he's high maintenance, no doubt.
01:09But for a year, when you've got a need, opposite Terry, he still can play.
01:18And the thing about Stefan Diggs is he is one badass competitive dude.
01:2685 catches last year in New England for 1,013 yards, four touchdowns.
01:32They just didn't want to pay him what they were going to have to pay him to keep him.
01:35Now, it could also be like small dose is really what Stefan Diggs is.
01:41He's been injured basically once in his career, and that was with Houston in 2024.
01:47I mean, with Jaden Daniels, couldn't you see Stefan Diggs catching 80-plus balls,
01:56Terry catching 70-plus balls, tight end catching 70-plus balls?
02:03Would you rather Diggs or Ayuk?
02:06I mean, Ayuk's future, if he is stable, which is a big unknown.
02:12There's so much we don't know.
02:14It's hard for me to answer.
02:16If you tell me I'm getting 2023 Brandon Ayuk, well, it's not even a conversation.
02:21He was an elite wide receiver in 2023.
02:24He literally, if you get that receiver, he's your number one.
02:28All due respect to Terry.
02:30Terry's older, too.
02:31If you get him, he's your one, Terry's your two, but they're both ones.
02:38But are you going to be getting that guy?
02:41There are physical questions.
02:43There are clearly psychological questions.
02:46I mean, I just know this.
02:48Diggs is a guy that on game day gives you everything
02:55and is really still very good and was last year.
03:03So, I'd be interested.
03:05If the Ayuk thing started to kind of fall apart,
03:08I would definitely be interested in Diggs for one year.
03:12You know, I'm looking at the available wide receivers.
03:16Like, Keenan Allen is still out there, hasn't re-signed with anybody.
03:19Jawan Jennings is the, you know, the guy that I think everybody thought would be signed somewhere.
03:25The reports have been since really week two of free agency that he's just asking for way too much
03:31and that more likely than not, he'll end up back in San Francisco.
03:35We'll see.
03:37Diggs is out there.
03:39Ayuk's obviously going to be out there.
03:42Tariq Hill's out there, but, you know, off of the injury.
03:45I don't know what his status is.
03:46Keenan Allen's out there.
03:47Debo still is unsigned.
03:50And Brandon Cooks is out there.
03:52That's interesting.
03:54I looked through the corners.
03:56It does appear that LeJaria Sneed, off of being on the pup list last year in Tennessee,
04:06is likely going to re-sign and head back to Kansas City.
04:10Stephon's brother, Trayvon Diggs, is out there.
04:12He was coached by Dan Quinn in Dallas.
04:16Hilton's out there.
04:17I've always kind of liked him.
04:18Rasul Douglas is out there.
04:21Anyway, what do you want?
04:23You know, here's one other one.
04:24Let me just throw one other one out there.
04:26And I know that they have added a lot of edges here.
04:31But Joey Bosa is still an elite pass rusher when healthy.
04:38Elite level pass rusher when healthy.
04:42And for a one-year deal, put Joey Bosa opposite O-Way, have Chason on the field, have Chennaul.
04:53There's something attractive about lining Joey Bosa up on third and seven or longer.
05:01But if I'm totally focused on, we need another wide receiver.
05:07We need a number two wide receiver.
05:09And that's Ayuk.
05:10That would obviously be Diggs.
05:13301-230-0980.
05:14Max, do you have an answer to this?
05:18I really want to start off by saying I like a lot of the additions on the defensive side of
05:23the football.
05:24Now, offense has left a little bit of something to kind of be desired for me.
05:28And, I mean, we've talked about it, especially at the receiver position.
05:33But, I don't know.
05:34I mean, we'll see.
05:36I'm not really...
05:38I'm just interested to see how we get into this season.
05:41I mean, a lot of the receiving core is really similar to 2023 or 2024 when we made the NFC
05:46Championship run.
05:47So, I just...
05:49I'm not as concerned, I think, as a lot of people out there.
05:52But, I mean, it's a wait-and-see game for me at this point.
05:57Let's start with Robert in D.C.
06:00Robert, go ahead.
06:03Robert dropped.
06:04Dave in Atlanta, go ahead.
06:09I'm with you 100% on Diggs.
06:12I think Diggs is the play as soon as you can get him.
06:17I'd get him.
06:18I'd get a corner.
06:19And, if Brandon Iyuk, if that situation clears up, why not add him, too?
06:26Because, here's the thing about our receiver situation and Iyuk.
06:30There's a chance that Iyuk is not right from the shoulders up, number one.
06:37But, number two, he may not really be in game form until midseason.
06:42So, add both.
06:46Yeah.
06:46I mean, I don't have a problem with it.
06:48I mean, you want to steer clear of crazy to begin with.
06:55And, you don't want double dose of crazy in what is a big year.
07:00But, you know, that – I mean, the idea of Iyuk and Diggs out there together with Terry
07:05just from a – if they're all right, that is – I mean, all of a sudden,
07:14it's one of the top ten receiving trios in the league, maybe higher than ten.
07:19So, yeah.
07:22The Diggs thing just – because I know – I mean, everybody that's ever been in Stefan Diggs' life locally,
07:30and many of them listen to the station and listen to sports talk radio,
07:33and we all kind of hear from these guys once in a while.
07:35Well, yes, he can be a pain in the ass, but nobody is readier on game day
07:42and gives you everything he has like he does.
07:46And the thing about Stefan Diggs that everybody's always said about him is,
07:49deep down, big-time heart means, well, just, you know, a little bit of wide receiver diva-ness.
07:57Not just a little bit, but a lot of it at times, especially if he's not getting the ball.
08:02But in this offense, he'd get the ball.
08:06Diggs on some level just because I think it's a crazy you know versus a crazy you don't know
08:12is attractive to me.
08:14Thanks, Dave.
08:14Let's go to Pauly.
08:15Pauly, what else do they need between now and opening day?
08:21Big guy.
08:22How you doing, man?
08:26Listen, I'm liking how they put this roster together.
08:30But before I get to what you're talking about,
08:32I think right now the biggest source by the center.
08:35And I'm not sure if that's a position that we can really be playing around with,
08:40with, you know, the defense in the front that we have in our own division.
08:46I mean, you know, the Eagles got two men, Carter and Jordan.
08:50You know, the Cowboys, they've been beating us up front for years, even with the Oddish.
08:55You know what I mean?
08:56The Giants got a good defense up front.
08:59So, I mean, I've been crying for the past two weeks about how we didn't have no draft picks
09:04because we gave them away for Tulsa.
09:07But we might have to make a move on the trade, you know, for a center.
09:11Yeah, but I don't know that there is anybody necessarily out there.
09:15There was the guy from Tennessee, Cushenberry,
09:19but apparently he's got some injury issues that people are concerned about.
09:24I'm not talking about signing nobody.
09:27I'm talking about we might have to trade.
09:28Well, who's available to trade for?
09:33I'm not sure.
09:34I mean, I don't get a check from Josh Harris to know that.
09:39But I'm saying they need to shake the trees.
09:41Well, I expect you to know.
09:42It's completely easy to call.
09:43You're getting time from me, so I expect you to know when you call in.
09:46Hey, look.
09:48Hey, listen.
09:49What?
09:49I'm just saying that's something they might have to look at is trading for a center.
09:54And I hate to say that because I don't want to give up no more capital for veterans.
09:58But I'm with you with Diggs.
10:00Not only am I with you with Diggs, give me both the Diggs brothers
10:04because we definitely need a veteran presence in the secondary.
10:08You know, with Amos and Mikey on the outside.
10:12I think we need a veteran guy out there.
10:14I was going to say sneeze, but you're saying he's going back to Kansas City.
10:17Okay.
10:17That's what it led.
10:18That's the reporting.
10:19Yeah.
10:20But you want Stephon to be happy and be on his best behavior?
10:25Bring his brother to the team, too.
10:27I think his brother still got something left in the tank also.
10:30So, I'm interested in both the Diggs brothers.
10:32And I'm like that last caller, man.
10:34You know, I'm not going to hold my roster hostage waiting on IU.
10:40I want IU if he's available.
10:42But right now, he's not available.
10:44So, we got to move forward like he's not available.
10:46And if he comes available, then go ahead and bring him in.
10:49Like I said, I wouldn't mind having both of them guys.
10:52But, yeah.
10:53Give me both the Diggs brothers, man.
10:55Bring him home.
10:56Let's make him run.
10:56Yeah, there's something about that that just is not a turnoff to me at all.
11:02Like, especially Stephon.
11:04Trayvon's such a big gambling corner but makes a lot of big plays.
11:11You know, the Durante Jones scheme, Pauly, you know this.
11:14You know, if it's the Brian Flores scheme, they don't necessarily
11:19and haven't necessarily needed high-end corners.
11:22They generate, you know, scare the quarterback pass rushes,
11:27confuse the quarterback pass rushes.
11:30That's what they want to do.
11:32Having a Diggs with a pass rush, a Trayvon Diggs, seems to me like, you know,
11:37you're going to get at least one pick six, which we haven't seen since who?
11:42Who was the last pick six for this team?
11:46And that's when he was at his best, man.
11:48When he had Michael Parsons out there in the Cowboys
11:51and he was bringing all that pressure, man.
11:53And I'm going to say this about Stephon Diggs.
11:54I'm going to say this about Stephon Diggs, right?
11:58He had a good year last year.
12:00You know, 85 catches, like you said, over 1,000 yards.
12:04And that was year one back from his knee injury.
12:07This is year two.
12:08Right.
12:08So he should get some of that explosives back, too.
12:12You know, that he probably was 100%.
12:15But, you know, they always say the second year is when a player usually gets back
12:19to their normal football stuff after that knee injury.
12:23So, yeah, I'm all in for both the Diggs brothers, man.
12:26I'll take it off the air, man.
12:27I'll take it off the air.
12:28I'm going back.
12:29Didn't they have a pick six in that Sam Howell started game at the end of 22?
12:34Somebody had a pick six in that game.
12:36Kendall Fuller, pick six.
12:38That might be the last pick six we had.
12:422022.
12:43If you're on hold, stay there.
12:44More calls.
12:45What's next?
12:46What do they still need to do now that we've seen the first three waves of free agency
12:53and the draft pass us by?
12:56They've done a lot.
12:57They've added a lot of new pieces.
12:58What else is left?
13:00What do you want them to still do?
13:01Do they still need you?
13:01Do they still need them to do?
13:01Do you like the kind of thing?
