00:00Timmy, Timmy writes, you're going to look stupid when Brandon Aiyuk signs a one-year prove-a-deal,
00:06proves nothing, and never gets another opportunity.
00:10Look, I acknowledge that is a possibility with a guy like this right now, no doubt.
00:15But what would be the downside to the organization if they didn't pay much?
00:20Like, I am not recommending that they sign Brandon Aiyuk to just wing it without any information.
00:29Hey, man, you were great in 23.
00:31Sure, the knee's okay.
00:32We don't need to look at it.
00:33It's been two years.
00:35And all this other stuff, I mean, whatever.
00:37Just come in and play.
00:38No, I'm not suggesting that.
00:40I'm suggesting that if they think they're getting the player physically that was on the field at the end of
00:4823,
00:49and they have a psychologist on staff that says he's mentally fit,
00:56why wouldn't you pay hardly anything all on the come to just see?
01:03You know, look, if they had, you know, Jamar Chase and T. Higgins, then of course I wouldn't care about
01:11this.
01:11I'd say, no, move on.
01:12You don't need this.
01:14They need another playmaker.
01:15I think they do.
01:16I mean, they didn't need one two years ago when they were great on offense.
01:19So maybe you'll get the same sort of performance this year, and Terry can bounce back and have a big
01:25year.
01:27But, no, I think, Timmy, that is an absolute possibility.
01:33If this guy's mentally unstable or has the capability of being mentally unstable, of course that's in play.
01:43Eddie in D.C., Brandon Iyuk, the latest was that there was an arrest warrant issued, misdemeanor, traffic violation, speeding,
01:53exhibition of speed back from December.
01:57Is this a disqualifier for you, or is this, on top of everything else, a disqualifier for you wanting him
02:05on our team?
02:08Eddie?
02:09Oh, yeah, I'm here.
02:11Can you hear me?
02:12I got you now.
02:14Okay, yeah.
02:15No, no, it's not.
02:17I mean, it's been a lot worse.
02:18It's been done in the league with cases that have been found guilty.
02:26And so, no, that's not a – that's not – you know, I'm totally, you know, with incentives and, you
02:35know, one-year deal
02:36and no hurt to the team if it doesn't work out and we do need another playmaker, all of that
02:44is in play and make sure his mental and his physical are in check.
02:50Then, yeah, sign him, no doubt about it.
02:54But, you know, I was listening to Rooster yesterday, and he was adamant about, you know, no, don't sign him,
03:03and this is just another case.
03:05I mean, he's like totally prejudging the guy and doesn't want to give him a chance at all whatsoever.
03:11And he says he has information that, you know, that he can stand by that says that we should have
03:19nothing to do with him.
03:21And Paulie got on his show.
03:23What's the information?
03:24What's the information?
03:25That he wouldn't say.
03:26He wouldn't say.
03:28That's the whole point.
03:29He wouldn't say.
03:30He's just prejudging Iowa.
03:33And Paulie went there and was saying that, you know, he's wrong.
03:39He should give him a chance.
03:40You know, we should give him a chance and have him come on the team and, you know, with incentives
03:46and all that for one year to see.
03:49But they got into it.
03:51And you know Paulie.
03:53Paulie is a football guy.
03:55And shout out to him.
03:57He knows stuff.
03:58And, you know, he's one of the better callers.
04:01And he makes Rooster's show.
04:04And he got hung up on.
04:06It's totally disrespected yesterday.
04:08I do love Paulie.
04:10And you're right.
04:10Paulie has been for years one of the better callers on these shows.
04:15Yeah, you don't do that.
04:16You don't do that.
04:17Well, you do sometimes.
04:19Sometimes you do.
04:19Sometimes you do.
04:20It depends.
04:22And maybe Chris has some information.
04:25I'd love to know what it is.
04:26Look, I'm really, to me, this isn't that hard.
04:30If they decide, because they have all the information, we don't.
04:35Maybe Chris has some information that would lead him to believe you shouldn't do it.
04:39But if, you know, they deem it to be worth it, worth to take, you know, no risk for a
04:48high reward, you got to think the reward is there.
04:52Like, you start with that.
04:54You start with, is the reward there?
04:56Is it possible?
04:58Is it likely that we're going to have a really good football player on our team who just happens to
05:04be available because of a terrible relationship that went south in San Francisco?
05:09And he wants to be here, and he's willing to sign a low-risk, you know, deal, a low-money,
05:16high-incentive deal.
05:17But you've got to first identify if the reward's there.
05:19And I can't do that because I don't have access to the medical, and I certainly don't have access to
05:25the mental.
05:26The mental right now would seem to be the bigger concern.
05:29I would think after two years, essentially, since the injury, coming up on two years since the injury, I'm going
05:37to guess in this day and age, his knee's probably fine.
05:40Probably fine.
05:41But the mental stuff, the judgment stuff, if the judgment stuff is just bad judgment by a dummy, there are
05:48a lot of dummies in the NFL.
05:50If it's bad judgment because he's mentally unfit, well, you can't do it.
05:54And then, you know, as a previous caller said, then you just want him to get help.
06:00Thanks for the call.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Appreciate it.
06:04Bobby in North Carolina, go ahead.
06:07Hey, Kev.
06:09It's a speeding ticket.
06:10It's old news to me.
06:12This changes absolutely nothing in my eyes.
06:15I'm going to trust Adam and the organization.
06:18And if he passes his physical after September 1st, they're going to sign him to a low-risk deal.
06:26But, Kevin, the upside is too much not to poke the bear on this thing, okay?
06:30Yeah, I agree.
06:32You know, I mean, it's a no-brainer.
06:34I mean, what do you got to lose?
06:35But, Bobby, there is a possibility.
06:37We're so far outside of this.
06:40There is a possibility that right now in the building, and I haven't heard this, and I have inquired, but
06:47there is a possibility that Adam's like, we're not doing this.
06:50Like, even Jaden might be saying, don't do this.
06:52He needs help.
06:53I mean, that's a possibility right now.
06:55And in that case, I wish we knew because we are wasting our time.
07:00But, anyway, continue.
07:02If you're right on that, if that's the case, though, you know, if that's the case, they're signing digs already
07:08to me.
07:09I think they're holding out for Brandon, you know, and they know it's going to be probably September 1st, when
07:14he's officially released, and just roll with it then.
07:17But they're going to have him on a low-risk deal, and, you know, I think it's going to hit
07:22him probably once he signs that deal, all those $20, $30, $40 million that basically he's pissed away.
07:30It is finally going to probably hit him.
07:31You know, what have I done?
07:32You know, he's going to play on a prove-it deal.
07:35So, hopefully it's going to work out, but this changes nothing.
07:38Right.
07:39From the paychecks he was getting to the, wait a minute, this is the paycheck on a prove-it deal?
07:46What did I do?
07:48Or he's too limited or too unstable to even sort of, you know, be able to process it.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Who knows?
07:58Who knows?
07:59Welcome back, brother.
08:00Missed you.
08:01See you.
08:01Thanks, Bobby.
08:02Tom in Hyattsville.
08:04Go ahead.
08:06Hey, Kevin.
08:06How you doing?
08:07Good, Tom.
08:08Good.
08:10I mean, he is a professional athlete, right, IU.
08:14But a lot of times after these injuries, a player is never, or usually sometimes, they
08:20don't have the same burst or separation.
08:24And there was no real, like, proof that he's been rehabbing.
08:28Like you said, there's just a lot of factors that we don't even know.
08:31So, how do we know he's rehabbing on his own, even?
08:37And his best ability?
08:39We don't.
08:39Maybe they do, but yeah, but we don't.
08:42Right.
08:42Right.
08:43And his best ability, I think, was his route running and separation, which we've already
08:49addressed in the draft.
08:50I think Antonio Williams will be, they already said, is a great route runner in the draft.
08:57Yeah, he hasn't played a game yet in the NFL.
08:59They always say that, that they're great this time of year.
09:03I love pointing back to Antonio Gandy-Golden was going to be a Rookie of the Year candidate
09:08this time of year.
09:11Yeah.
09:12And Gold, I don't even know who that is.
09:14Yeah.
09:15Nobody does anymore.
09:16Oh, people forget.
09:17Only idiots like me remember.
09:19You know, your injury point, there have been plenty of players who have come back better,
09:26you know, and, or just as good, if not, you know, in better shape post, you know, ACL
09:33surgery, you know, so it's not unusual in this day and age to come back just fine physically,
09:39but you're right.
09:40That's something they obviously have to get a really good grip on.
09:44Is he the same player because he was an exceptional player at the end of 2023, an exceptional separator,
09:53route runner, and they could use one of those.
09:57Thanks, Tom.
09:58Appreciate it.
09:58Let's finish it up with G from the shop.
10:01G, go ahead.
10:03Hey, I'm not excited that he got a war, but like, cause I don't want to see him getting
10:11in trouble legally, but I like it because that's less money that we would have to put
10:16on that guaranteed contract to sign him.
10:19That's even more, another problem or against him.
10:22So that drops his value.
10:24So we ain't got to pay him that much on that contract.
10:26We can get him and Stefan Diggs, man.
10:29He ain't, he ain't running nobody over.
10:31He ain't drinking and driving.
10:32If we got concerns about him driving around all crazy, let's just Uber him to everywhere
10:38when we do sign him.
10:39The Jamin Davis method.
10:41What would you say, Max?
10:42The Jamin Davis method.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Well, it was the Fred, Fred Davis doc wanted, you know, the organization to basically have
10:53someone there to wake him up and then to drive him to practice so he could get there on time.
10:58Yeah.
10:59I would need that.
11:00Yeah, I'm, there's so much we don't know, but there's no way a misdemeanor, you know,
11:08speeding violation is going to be the disqualifier for me.
11:12I mean, he's not Ray Carruth for crying out loud.
11:16So yeah.
11:17Yeah.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Prayers.
11:18Yeah.
11:18Prayers today.
11:19But yeah, like you said, he didn't run nobody over.
11:22He wasn't drinking and driving.
11:24He's a young guy that likes to drive fast, man.
11:26I like to drive fast too sometimes.
11:28Me too.
11:28You know, I've had a couple of recklessness.
11:32Yeah.
11:33But I'm just saying it's not, that's, that's another demerit towards his payday.
11:38You know what I'm saying?
11:39We don't have to break the bank for Stefan Diggs because of his behavior off the field
11:44and being a candidate.
11:45Well, and his age too.
11:47He's, he's a different case because of the age.
11:49Yeah.
11:49But, but, but that he's a great age for me because he's in the twilight of his career,
11:55close it out where you came from.
11:57And he was in the Superbowl last year, helping a team that wasn't picked to go to the Superbowl.
12:02How about you do that with us?
12:04On the bargain deals, both of them, because we don't have to break the bank for either.
12:09Well, I'm going to go get both of them and I'm with you, Shane, and all the new, new receivers
12:14that we done got anybody drafted.
12:16We don't know what's going on until they put them pads on, man.
12:20Talk to you later.
12:21Thanks as always.
