00:00I put together some questions.
00:01You smile all you want.
00:02I'm not getting yanked in that meeting.
00:03And I want to pick.
00:04I didn't say anything.
00:05That is your meeting.
00:05And I want to pick your brains.
00:07That is a solo meeting.
00:09You ready?
00:10Say the average teenager or every work.
00:12Solo meeting.
00:13Would you?
00:14Every water cooler in America.
00:16We got any fun music?
00:17Make this thing even like spiffier?
00:18He's looking for a maestro.
00:19We could try.
00:20I don't exactly have the creme de la creme.
00:23So there's a little game show music for the tension of the questions.
00:27Would have been nice.
00:28If any of this does is too obnoxious, we can at any point go, that's too obnoxious.
00:33All right.
00:34Go ahead.
00:34Hit it.
00:34It's impossible.
00:39Hi.
00:39Time for the latest game show you've never played before.
00:42Would you?
00:43Welcome to the Botanical Gardens.
00:46Here you go.
00:47Ready?
00:47Would you?
00:50With the quarterback situation the way it is right now, you've got three guys, you know,
00:55who are second year or rookie quarterbacks.
00:58Anybody going to be the guy, who knows?
01:01Would you trade Dylan Gabriel or Shador Sanders along with a late round pick to the Indianapolis
01:11Colts for Anthony Richardson?
01:13Would you?
01:15Dylan Gabriel?
01:16Easy.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Sure.
01:17See you.
01:17Bye.
01:19He deserves a fresh start somewhere else.
01:21Didn't work here.
01:22Even though he's, I do believe he's liked by our current head coach.
01:26How can you say it didn't work here when his season was incomplete?
01:33Shador's season was incomplete.
01:35No, I think it was complete.
01:36They decided not to put him back on the field.
01:38Even though his quarterback rating was significantly higher than Shador's.
01:41We're talking about ratings.
01:42They had a chance.
01:43Dylan Gabriel could have come back on the field after his concussion.
01:45They chose not to.
01:47All right.
01:47Would you trade Dylan and a late round pick to the Colts for Anthony Richardson?
01:52Sure.
01:52I'll do that.
01:53Would you trade Shador?
01:55No.
01:55I'm not in a late round pick for Anthony Richardson.
01:58No.
01:58I want to see Shador.
01:59Dano?
02:00I have enough projects.
02:01It feels like moving deck chairs in the Titanic.
02:03I would trade either one of those guys in a late round pick to the Colts for Anthony Richardson.
02:08Why?
02:09Richardson has physical gifts that neither one of those guys happen to have.
02:14And the way that this quarterback situation is set up right now is just screaming,
02:18we're looking for a quarterback in 2027 anyway.
02:22So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take the guy with the highest ceiling,
02:26and that's Richardson, and see if I can coach him up this year and make him anything.
02:31So I would make the trade.
02:33Either one.
02:34Either one.
02:35Gabriel or Sanders.
02:36And a late round pick for Anthony Richardson.
02:38Yes, absolutely.
02:39And it needs to once again be stated.
02:41When he wants to tap out because he's tired, he's going to go up in the stands and sell beer.
02:45Just a kid.
02:47Oh, just a kid.
02:49Just a kid.
02:49Maybe Todd Munkin can get something out of him.
02:51Maybe he can't.
02:52But either way, I still think you're looking for a quarterback in 2027, so it doesn't really matter.
02:57Next question.
02:59Okay.
03:00Where's the little disco music?
03:02Okay.
03:05Dee-dee-dee.
03:07Would you...
03:08Have your children ever looked at you and said,
03:10Dad, why are you never happy?
03:12Would you...
03:13How many more miles did we get there?
03:15I'm the happiest guy you know.
03:17Would you...
03:18Sitting in that chair.
03:19...make a push to bring Joel Batonio back?
03:23Hmm.
03:24Dano, we'll start with you.
03:27No, because I don't think they're one left guard away from having this offense click.
03:33So I'd rather make the investments that I have, play all of the guys that I've brought in for the
03:38next two years to see if I can rebuild something,
03:40and see if maybe we can figure out a way to have the Chicago Bears type line where we rebuild
03:45it in one year.
03:46Andy?
03:47I think this answer has already been made.
03:49If he's coming back, they know he's coming back.
03:51I just think so.
03:53Why...
03:54Otherwise, I think he's done.
03:56I think he's just done.
03:56I don't think he's looking for another team.
03:58I think he is...
03:59Although, you know another team might be coming after him at some point if they need help after the season
04:03starts.
04:04I think he wants the summer off.
04:05I think he wants to chill.
04:06I think he wants to...
04:08You know, he's earned the right to kind of let his body relax and heal and not have to go
04:14through the daily grind of what's going on here in Cleveland.
04:17So, I think the team knows he's either coming back or not coming back.
04:22And why say anything right now?
04:24It doesn't make a difference.
04:25Let him chill.
04:26And then, if he wants to come back during camp, come on back.
04:29If he doesn't, okay.
04:30Move forward.
04:31I would make...
04:32I would make a push to bring him back.
04:34But the push would be this.
04:36I'm Todd Munkin.
04:37I'm Andrew Barry.
04:38I'm calling him.
04:39I'm talking to him.
04:40I'm flying to where he is.
04:42And I'm just going to sit down and have a meeting with him.
04:44Hey, Joel.
04:45What do you think?
04:45Do you have an interest?
04:47Here's what we...
04:48Don't you think they've already had this meeting?
04:49I don't know.
04:50I think they have.
04:51Well, I don't know.
04:51That's why I'm going to do this.
04:53And I'm going to say, here's what we did on the line.
04:55If you come back, that frees up Zion Johnson to maybe move to right guard.
05:01And then, across the front, we'd have Spencer Fano, Joel Batonio, Elton Jenkins, Zion Johnson.
05:09Tevin Jenkins can be our swing guard.
05:12And we'd have Titus Howard at right tackle.
05:16That sounds a lot better to me than what they have right now.
05:21Because Joel's so good.
05:22So, I would check it out.
05:24I don't know that you can convince him.
05:27And I would just make sure that he knows every door is open.
05:30And I'd go have a meeting with him and just see.
05:32Lay it out and say, hey, get back to us in a week or two, would you?
05:36So, there you go.
05:38I think they've had these meetings.
05:39I think they know exactly what's going on.
05:40If he just wants to rest.
05:42He's resting.
05:43Maybe he's still a little up in the air.
05:45And they'll come back to him one more time.
05:47You want in or out?
05:48That'll be it.
05:49I just think that's kind of where we're at at this.
05:51He's earned that right.
05:53He's earned the right.
05:54If he wants to come back and take a spot back, he's got it for another year.
05:57But I'd make a push and try and find out.
05:59And then you know for sure whether you move on or whatever you're going to do.
06:03I would do it.
06:05So, there's that one.
06:07Next question.
06:09Would you make a push to bring David Njoku back to this team?
06:14And I ask that question for this reason, Andy.
06:18You ready?
06:20Yeah, I'm listening.
06:23Caden Prescorn.
06:26Brendan Bates.
06:28Jack Stoll.
06:30Ryan Carson.
06:32Joe Royer.
06:33Blake Whitehart.
06:35Those are all the other tight ends on the team other than Harold Fannin.
06:40I think Sal Cannell is also on the team still.
06:42So, I don't know if he is or if he isn't.
06:46He might be.
06:47If he is, great.
06:50Don't mess with my tight ends, Jeff.
06:52I know.
06:54I think they're in a spot right now.
06:56You picked up two tight ends, right?
06:58Carson, Brian, and Joe Royer.
07:02Two in the draft.
07:03Yeah, I don't think they're good.
07:04And it's a lot cheaper to keep those two guys.
07:06And if you want to let them fight it out with Blake Whitehart.
07:10I think they kind of like Blake Whitehart.
07:13I think they kind of do, too.
07:14You know, Harold Fannin's not going anywhere.
07:17The fact that they drafted two tight ends means that ship has sailed.
07:22Sailed.
07:23Dano?
07:24I would rather have Joel Batonio than David Njoku.
07:27I'm a no on David Njoku.
07:28Let him walk.
07:29It's over.
07:30It's time is done.
07:31The bridge is burnt.
07:31Goodbye.
07:32I don't think he burned the bridge because he just sang the praises of Cleveland.
07:36Yeah, I don't.
07:37No, no, no, no.
07:38He's not the one who burnt the bridge.
07:39I don't mean it that way.
07:40A bridge can be burned from a different direction, too.
07:42When you automatically didn't offer the guy a contract to begin with.
07:45I'm David Manningin.
07:46I know about burning bridges.
07:47I do.
07:48Well, what if the number was...
07:49I tried very hard not to.
07:50What if the first number was just too high and they're like, yeah, we're out?
07:54Then...
07:54I can't...
07:55He has not gotten picked up yet?
07:56No.
07:57He was talking about the Chargers last time.
07:58Yeah, Chargers are the team that he's chatting with.
08:00He's chatting with the Ravens, as well.
08:02He'll end up in summer.
08:03I...
08:03And it's nothing against...
08:04It's nothing against him.
08:05It's just...
08:06It's time.
08:06I would not bring back David Njoku.
08:09I would not make the push, and I like David.
08:12And I say that.
08:13I listed all those young guys.
08:16Out of all of those young guys, don't you think there are one or two guys that you might
08:22be able to develop into real contributors?
08:24Yeah, I think the money part of the manager, too, don't you think so?
08:28Njoku's going to cost them more.
08:29He's not anymore.
08:31He's still going to cost you more than a rookie.
08:33He's going to cost you more than a rookie.
08:35Yes, but not much more.
08:37I mean, he's a veteran who needs a gig right now.
08:39But I think the ship has sailed as well.
08:43And I would go with the young guys and try and find a couple of guys who might be a
08:46better
08:47fit in what Todd Munka wants to do, and especially for the price.
08:51We're playing, would you, with the Cleveland Browns after the draft and after the roster,
08:56would you sign a veteran free agent wide receiver?
09:01And we know they went out and drafted two guys.
09:05Dan's laughing.
09:06Dan, these are things to think about.
09:08This is the Celebrity Jeopardy Potent Potables, where it's every single time.
09:12That's really what this is.
09:13Would you sign a veteran free agent wide receiver like Juwan Jennings, Stefan Diggs, who was found
09:19innocent, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Juju Smith-Schuster, Debo Samuel?
09:24All those guys are still out there.
09:26How many wide receivers do you want to keep?
09:28I know I ask you this a million times.
09:30Let me give you my answer first.
09:33Yes, I would.
09:35You would sign a veteran wide receiver.
09:37And the reason I would do it is really pretty simple.
09:40And it's this.
09:43This team right now is loaded with young wide receivers who you think, oh, interesting.
09:49Because they drafted two guys.
09:51I thought Cedric Tillman, interesting.
09:53Malachi Corley, interesting.
09:55Isaiah Bond, interesting.
09:57What I'd like is somebody who's, well, he's played well.
10:00And so I would add a veteran to this group.
10:04Because right now your veteran is Jerry Judy.
10:07That's it.
10:08Jerry's your main guy.
10:10He's it.
10:11And I don't know that the veteran would be on the team once the season started.
10:16But I'd bring him in for training camp, off-season stuff, see how it works, see how it fits.
10:24And give the young guys somebody they can learn with and learn from.
10:31Nope, I'm cool.
10:33Dan says no.
10:34Nope, I'm cool.
10:35I want to give all the kids the amount of opportunities that they need to figure out who can sink
10:38and who can swim.
10:39I would rather be in a position where I'm throwing passes to Isaiah Bond and evaluating him than evaluating any
10:45of the guys that you tossed out right there.
10:46I'm good.
10:48I think we're missing something here, too.
10:54So, okay, Judy's in.
10:55Boston's in.
10:56Concepcion's in.
10:58Bond is in.
10:59Isaiah Bond is in.
11:00That's four guys.
11:01Is Tillman in?
11:03Not necessarily.
11:03I would think so.
11:05And they brought Tylan Wallace over from Baltimore, which makes me think that Todd Munkin's got to like him, right?
11:11It's not.
11:14I mean, that's a Munkin thing.
11:17That's fine, but again, it gets back to productivity.
11:20And you've got to leave space for Luke Floria, so I don't know.
11:23It's the hardest thing to find.
11:26You don't need much space.
11:28I want Luke on the team.
11:29I want Luke to play.
11:30Yeah, we know.
11:31Colors that end in Erpel.
11:33We know.
11:34Colors that end in Erpel.
11:37Would you?
11:37I love it.
11:37Hot or cold?
11:38I would bring in the veteran free agent.
11:40Playing would you with the Browns here.
11:43After the draft, after most of free agency is done.
11:47Last segment, a couple of questions we threw out.
11:49Would you trade Dylan Gabriel or Shadur Sanders in a late-round pick for the Colts' Anthony Richardson?
11:54I said yes.
11:55I think you guys both said no.
11:56I said no.
11:57Would you make a push to bring back Joel Batonio?
12:00I said yes.
12:01You guys said no.
12:03It's not that I said no.
12:04I just think this thing, I don't think they have to push.
12:07If he wants to come back, it's there.
12:09If he doesn't, it's not.
12:10I said, would you make a push to bring back David Njoku?
12:13We all said no.
12:14I'm not, listen, I'm not saying no.
12:17I just, I'm being intelligent.
12:18Well, you did say no.
12:19Well, then I, okay, to make a push for him?
12:22Yeah, it's no.
12:23You're not going to.
12:24You've got Royer and Ryan now.
12:25Why would you?
12:26You just drafted two tight ends.
12:28Is that a law firm?
12:29Yeah, Royer and Ryan of Beverly Hills.
12:31Yeah, Royer, Ryan, and White Hart.
12:35I said, now that's a law firm.
12:37I said, would you sign a free agent, wide receiver?
12:41And there's some good ones still out there, like Jawan Jennings,
12:44Stefan Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Juju Smith-Schuster, Debo Samuel.
12:47I would, only because this wide receiver group, though I like some of the potential,
12:55I'd love to have a veteran in that group.
12:58Somebody who's been there, done that, can maybe help the guys out a little bit
13:02and help the quarterback out a little bit.
13:04No guarantee the guy would even make the team, but I would go bring one in.
13:08Brings us to our next question.
13:14Would you sign a veteran free agent running back for this team?
13:18Okay, I'm good.
13:19As I said, we're just trying stuff.
13:21If you don't like it, you don't like it.
13:23It's something different.
13:23That's fine.
13:24I don't know.
13:24He's wearing on me a little.
13:26Sorry.
13:26I have more obnoxious.
13:28You want more obnoxious?
13:29Play it while I ask the question.
13:30Yeah, play it again.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Would you sign a veteran free agent running back to add to this crew, like Joe Mixon,
13:42who may never play again.
13:43You never know.
13:44Najee Harris, Austin Eckler, who says he's healthy, Miles Sanders.
13:50Would you bring in a veteran free agent running back?
13:55Andy.
13:56Yes, I would.
13:58Because all those guys, I think, are a little bit more intriguing than, sorry, Jeff, than
14:02Rocket Sanders, Amani Marshall, David Booth, T.J. Harden.
14:08So, yes.
14:08And you're going to need three running backs.
14:10So, yes, I would.
14:13Dano.
14:13I think I'm good.
14:15I think I'm good.
14:16Yeah.
14:16Let me get into camp.
14:17If I run into a situation in camp, I can run out and get somebody then.
14:20But nobody that you listed to me is any upgrade over what I already have.
14:24And if they haven't done it, they must believe that Quinchon Judkins is in a really good place.
14:28So, I'm good.
14:29There's the hitch here.
14:31Is Quinchon good to go?
14:33If they haven't done it, they would know.
14:35And I would bring in a veteran running back now.
14:39I would just add somebody.
14:40I'd try and keep it not overly hyped.
14:45You know, you just sign somebody.
14:46You don't say he's going to come in and be our starter, because he wouldn't be.
14:49If Quinchon is healthy, he's your guy.
14:52But do we know for sure that Quinchon's going to be good to go at the start of training camp?
14:56And if he's not good to go at the start of training camp, do we know if he's going to
15:00be good to go at the start of the regular season?
15:03Nope.
15:04And if not, then is it Dylan Sampson and Rocket Sanders?
15:08Like I said, bring in one of those veterans.
15:09Najee Harris is coming back from a torn Achilles with the Chargers, the former Steeler, who ran for 1,000
15:15yards every year he was in Pittsburgh.
15:17He's still available.
15:20Eckler healed up.
15:21He's an all-purpose guy.
15:23Great coming out of the backfield.
15:24Miles Sanders had the big year in Philly.
15:27Might be worth a look.
15:29Got hurt in Dallas last year.
15:30I don't know about Joe Mixon, but Joe's out there.
15:34Didn't play at all in Houston last year.
15:36And they went out and traded for David Montgomery, so Joe's not going back there.
15:40If he's able to play, I would add a free agent running back.
15:45And again, if he didn't make the team, okay.
15:49But I bet one of these guys would, Andy.
15:51How about Nick Chubb?
15:52Well, that brings us to our final question.
15:55Oh, look at me.
15:56I was looking ahead.
15:58Would you bring back Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt?
16:03No, no.
16:06Tell me why, Dana.
16:07I think they're cooked.
16:09It bums me out to say it, especially when it comes to Nick Chubb.
16:12I just think they're cooked.
16:14Kareem Hunt last year looked horrible.
16:16He looked really bad for the Chiefs.
16:18He just looked like Father Time had caught up to him.
16:21And I think Nick Chubb's injuries have also caught up to him.
16:24So unless you want to do something kind and bring him in, fine.
16:28But I would not do it.
16:29No.
16:30This music has me thinking of Ariana Grande dressed as Cinderella walking through some
16:35little forest and talking to squirrels.
16:38Okay, you want me to find something else?
16:39We can try something else.
16:40I think he wants to listen to Wicked.
16:42Would you bring back Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt?
16:45Everything Mennegan said, I agree with completely.
16:48Is this better?
16:50Just stop.
16:51We've had enough.
16:52Wow.
16:53Would you bring back Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt?
16:55I agree with everything Dan said.
16:56I don't think none of these were good.
16:57I agree with everything Dan said.
16:59I think they're both cooked.
17:01I hate to say that.
17:03Man, I love watching both of those guys run the football.
17:06Well, I think they're both cooked.
17:10Yes.
17:10I would bring him back over.
17:12Who?
17:12Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt?
17:15Nick Chubb.
17:15I would bring Nick Chubb back.
17:17He's going to end up with a team this year.
17:18He's going to end up.
17:19He's not done.
17:21Would you rather have him?
17:22He sure looked at last year, Andy.
17:24I'm telling you, I think he ends up with another team.
17:26In fact, I was just reading the other day, Dallas might be a possibility for him.
17:30I mean, if you do it at this point, it's sadly nothing more than fan service.
17:33I don't know.
17:34Is he better than Raheem Sanders?
17:36No, not now.
17:39Is he better than Imani Marshall?
17:42Well, you're not going to keep four.
17:44Again.
17:45If Quinchon's hurt and you need another running back, now it's Dylan Sampson and who?
17:49But if that's the case, then the question A in this pair of questions comes into play more.
17:56Where you would rather probably have Austin Eckler.
17:58You'd rather, knowing you're only going to have Austin Eckler for 10 games, because sadly
18:03he gets banged up every year.
18:05But there are other guys that you would rather point to before you get to Nick Chubb, unless
18:09your whole thing is, all right, let's give the fans a win.
18:11Let's give Nick Chubb a standing ovation.
18:13Let's do all of those things that this organization does not do all that much of.
18:19No, they cut Bernie.
18:21Well, not this crew.
18:23No, I know.
18:24Yeah, I'd bring Nick Chubb back in that scenario.
18:26It's not going to cost you a whole lot.
18:29And yeah, simple.
18:32Kareem had a better year last year than Nick.
18:36He looked like he was running through mud.
18:38Yeah, I know.
18:39But he had a better year than Nick.
18:41Maybe Nick Chubb.
18:41He also had more opportunity, though.
18:43True.
18:44That is true.
18:44Yeah.
18:45More attempts, more carries, all that stuff.
18:47I mean, they were running a chunk of that offense through Kareem Hunt because they had
18:50nothing else.
18:50So see, there's still some...
18:52Although, here's the other problem.
18:53Are you going to take carries away from Michael Burton?
18:54Because if you're taking him away from the fullback, then I'm out.
18:59You know, perfect world.
19:01Luke Floria plays fullback.
19:03Oh.
19:04No, tight end.
19:06Or long snapper.
19:08Or all of the above.
19:09Floria would give it his all.
19:11Or all of the above.
19:12Floria would give it his all.
19:12Floria would give it his all.
19:12Here we go.
