00:00So Yahoo put out five bold NFL predictions for the June 1st deadline.
00:08Today's June 1st.
00:10We talked about it, that number one, they've got A.J. Brown gets traded to the Patriots.
00:16At this point, I don't think that's a bold prediction, but they lead off with that.
00:20Adam Schefter recently named the Patriots as the lead contender.
00:24Albert Breer reported on Friday that there's a framework for a deal in place.
00:29And we mentioned that he has deleted his Twitter, whatever that means.
00:35But he doesn't want to stay with Philadelphia for another season.
00:39It's become pretty apparent.
00:42It makes sense to add another high-level weapon for Drake May.
00:46But he's a diva wideout with a lot of wear and tear on him at this point.
00:51I'm not crazy about that, especially depending on the compensation.
00:54If you're giving up a first-round pick to bring in A.J. Brown,
00:57I think the Eagles win that if they get a first-round pick in return.
01:02And they've addressed wide receiver, whether or not you believe it's going to work out for them.
01:06They've added Dontavian Wicks.
01:09They added Hollywood Brown.
01:11They added Elijah Moore.
01:13They drafted Makai Lemon.
01:14Yes.
01:15They've added a lot to that room.
01:17Bold prediction number two,
01:19and I would say this would affect the Commanders because there's been so much discussion.
01:27The bold prediction is June 1st deadline,
01:30the 49ers cut Brandon Ayuk,
01:34but the Raiders pounce on him.
01:37How would this fan base feel if Ayuk gets cut
01:40and another team snatches him
01:43after all the discussion and all the expectations?
01:46It might be a blessing in disguise, to be honest with you.
01:49Let the Raiders deal with that heavy.
01:50Let them deal with him, yeah.
01:51That's the way I view it.
01:52My heart's not set on Ayuk by any stretch.
01:56I just thought,
01:57this is obviously the direction they appear to be going.
02:00Like, of course they're going to sign him
02:03when he eventually comes loose.
02:05But my heart's not set on him.
02:07In fact, I told you,
02:08I'd rather have Diggs,
02:09and at this point,
02:10I'd rather have Debo.
02:11Well, the Debo thing is just,
02:14you know, perplexing to me.
02:17ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on Sunday
02:21that two rival executives told him
02:23the Ayuk is, quote-unquote,
02:27untradeable.
02:28The torn ACL-MCL meniscus,
02:30the ghosting of the 49ers organization,
02:32and the voided $27 million in guaranteed money
02:35have made him a market of one.
02:40Yeah, they're holding out hope
02:42that they can trade for something,
02:43but I just feel ultimately
02:45that they're going to release him,
02:46and then he can sign with whatever team
02:49he wishes to sign with.
02:51I just don't see anybody giving up
02:52anything of value to trade for Brandon Ayuk.
02:55Man, I don't think it's that big a deal
02:57if you gave up a seventh rounder,
02:58but I don't think anybody will.
02:59I wouldn't give up anything for Brandon Ayuk
03:01at this point.
03:02Yeah.
03:04What if he came out with some video
03:06and it showed him sprinting
03:08and doing all the things,
03:10and he looked like he was in pretty good shape,
03:11as best as you could tell from a dumb video?
03:13So he does a Z-Belt.
03:14Would that change your opinion a little bit?
03:14Still probably not interested.
03:16Okay, but you couldn't see a team
03:18potentially saying,
03:19hey, that guy's been pretty productive.
03:20I think there will be a team
03:21that's probably dumb enough to acquire him.
03:24Hopefully it's not the commanders.
03:25Yeah.
03:26I'm not against them picking him up.
03:28What do you think he's been doing?
03:30I don't know.
03:31Does he work out?
03:32He's got to.
03:33I mean, I would have to hope he works.
03:34He's a professional athlete.
03:36I would have to hope that he works out.
03:37What young guy that's made money off his body
03:39doesn't...
03:40Tons of guys that are young don't work out.
03:43Yeah, but not professional,
03:44ex-professional athletes.
03:45My guess is...
03:46At that age...
03:48I mean, maybe.
03:49I mean, I think he wants to get another bag.
03:51So does he think he can get another bag
03:53and not work out?
03:54I find that hard to believe.
03:55Maybe he got enough.
03:57And he's just not motivated.
03:58From the way it looks like he's spending,
04:00he didn't get enough.
04:01If he's taking private jets all over the place
04:04and buying watches that are six figures.
04:07Personally, I just hope that something does happen.
04:10Like, this is a bold prediction
04:10because June 1st deadline.
04:12Because I don't want to be talking about,
04:14Brandon, how you can August.
04:16No, it's going to take a while.
04:17I would love for them to sign somebody else, too,
04:19and just be done with it.
04:20Yeah.
04:21I thought Jaden had a great diplomatic answer
04:23when I can't remember who it was,
04:24Tishler or somebody asked about him.
04:27And it might have been Scott Abraham.
04:29I can't remember.
04:30And he was just like,
04:31Hey, man, that's my brother.
04:32I love him, but I have nothing out of my hands.
04:37But it's future.
04:38Perfect answer.
04:38Perfect answer.
04:39He'll always be my brother,
04:40but wherever his football future is,
04:42I have no control over that.
04:45I think, you know.
04:48I think he's about as connected to Brandon Iyuk
04:51as we are to EWOD now.
04:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
04:55I think that's wrong.
04:57I think he's very connected.
04:58I think they're boys.
05:00EWOD's our boy.
05:01EWOD?
05:04Sure.
05:05Not my boy.
05:06I mean, we haven't seen him.
05:07Nice person.
05:08I mean, I like him.
05:09He's not my boy.
05:09I haven't seen him in literally 10 years.
05:10I've spoken to him in a decade.
05:12That can't be considered my boy.
05:13I mean, my only connection to him
05:14is through a Dynasty fantasy football league.
05:16He's a former co-worker.
05:18That's how I would describe him.
05:19I like him.
05:20There's no chance JP even knows where he lives.
05:22Doesn't he live?
05:24I just saw a picture of him on social media.
05:27I think I know where he lives.
05:28I think he was in Colorado.
05:30And now maybe, yeah, I don't know.
05:32I'm going to say Colorado.
05:33Unless he's moved.
05:35He does live in Arizona.
05:36Oh, he does.
05:36I nailed it.
05:37Look at JP.
05:38You are more connected.
05:39Colorado to Arizona.
05:40Yeah.
05:40I'm not connected.
05:41And I think he has a daughter.
05:42Does he have a daughter?
05:45I don't think so.
05:46Oh, I don't know.
05:46I saw a picture.
05:48I saw a picture with a girl.
05:50You're getting cocky.
05:52I think you're way wrong.
05:54I think he still probably plays video games with him.
05:57I think they're still texting buddies.
05:59Yeah, they're tight.
05:59They're just not going to play on the same football team.
06:01But, yeah.
06:02Speculation.
06:03I don't know.
06:04We're all speculating.
06:06You think they just cut him off?
06:07They were teammates.
06:09By the way, I don't...
06:09What, seven, eight years ago?
06:10I don't think anything's happening like today on Brandon Ayuk.
06:13Because the Niners, they're in a rush to placate him and move him.
06:17Don't kill the messengers.
06:17They just want to let him float the wind.
06:19I'm just telling you, he was trending on Twitter yesterday.
06:21That's Jeremy Fowler's prediction.
06:23Because Jeremy Fowler went on ESPN and said he talked to executives and these were his predictions.
06:27His third one is Alvin Kamara stays with the Saints.
06:36You don't need two running backs.
06:38They signed Travis Etienne.
06:40Etienne, and during the offseason, they gave him a nice deal.
06:42But you can't run your running back straight into the ground with 20-plus carries every game.
06:48So if Kamara re-signs there, I like it.
06:53Kamara's more of your receiving guy out of the backfield.
06:56Etienne probably has 15-plus carries per game.
06:58I got no problem with that.
07:00Right.
07:00Like, it's a solid setup for the Saints.
07:02Didn't we kick around the possibility of the Commanders being just in Kamara at one point?
07:07Yeah.
07:08Maybe.
07:08Would you have preferred that versus what they now have in their running back room?
07:12With Rashad White?
07:13The problem is, you can pay Rashad White two-plus million-plus incentives to come here.
07:17You're not getting Kamara on that sort of deal.
07:19Even at his advanced age.
07:21It's going to cost you more.
07:22The other bold predictions, before we go to break, they had Cole Komet getting traded to the Chiefs for a
07:29third-round pick.
07:30And the Ravens trading Marlon Humphrey to the Giants, so he'd rejoin Harbaugh.
07:37So we'll see.
07:38June 1st, I think it officially kicks off at 4.01 p.m.
07:43Things can become official.
07:45Excellent.
07:45Coming up next, Trav and I got together yesterday with a junkie's character.
07:50Let me just say that.
07:51We'll get into that next, here on the Junkies.
07:53We'll get into that next, here on the Junkies.
