• 0:52
  Speaker 1: my friend. It's good to talk to you as always, Uh, Leggy.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Interesting you. In your piece on ESPN, you referred to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Evan Ingram as a safety net for bow Nicks. Evan Ingram,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: via Twitter fancies himself a joker. What actually is Evan
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Ingram and where should we set our expectations?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I both are true, really and you know you know
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he isn't the true joker with the run component. But look,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I mean the guy in one hundred catches a couple
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of years ago, and the Broncos haven't had his kind
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of impact at tight end in quite some time. You know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the catches, you know, they had no offense lead the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: team one year, but I don't think he had the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: impact and an offense that Ingram has had over his career.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a little bit of both. He's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: not quite the true joker, but he's certainly more impactful
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in the passing game than they've had at that position
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in quite some time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: All Right, Jeff, what do you think is going on
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: with Cooper Cup? It feels like we have kind of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: dueling insiders out there. What can you tell us about
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the situation? Are they interested or are they not really interested?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: They being the Broncos, Well, the Kafferom says they're not
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: interested at the moment, so, uh, you know, they don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: have much after the you know, they're down in the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: single digits after the Green Line us Naga you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and and the Ingram deals, So uh, if they're gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: get involved, you know, they would have to do some
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: other things they've you know, I know people keep saying,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: well they haven't extended anybody. Well, they already extended almost
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: everybody they've could already other than Zach Allen uh and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: have avoidable years on you know, everybody's deal right now
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that they've done over the last couple of years. So
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to do it that they would have to do some things.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And I asked somebody today and you know again I haven't.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard peak interest from anybody I trust around
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the Broncos. You know, in the last few days, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: had a GM tell me he didn't think a GM
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: from another team tell me he didn't think the Broncos
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: are in the top five. So, you know, do is
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it what you will? You know, this isn't twenty twenty
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: two Cooper Cups, So I guess I don't quite understand
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the frenzy. But you know, again that free agency we
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: love because we know the names, we know the resumes,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we know their best seasons. But they would have to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: do some things to get involved in that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Again, Jeff Legwald just saying an NFL general manager told
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: him today the Broncos are not top five on cups.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So at least according to this general manager through Jeff Legwald,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as Leggie says, take that for what you will, because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: NFL free agency is always wild, but Leggy in there
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: doing the world. We appreciate that, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So the fact that Denver is in on the Cooper
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cup thing, and given everything else that the Broncos did
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: addressing very you know, specific needs for the team in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: free agency. What what does that do for the receiver position,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: at least in terms of the draft and going forward.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Like leg you we talked a lot about this. Sean
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Payton likes his wide receivers, but are they perhaps in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: play for a receiver in rounds one or two in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the draft?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I would think that, Nate, And you know, again there's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: some you know, Sean Payton likes the big framed receivers,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and there's there's a few of those guys, you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: on the board, especially even after the first round. Waves.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You know, dependent how many guys at wide house go
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in the in the opening round, but they're you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you've got bigger guys down the board. Lucier Burden from Missouri,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Jayden Higgins from Iowa State. You know, those are all guys,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you know, Jalen Nowell from Iowa State. Those are all
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: guys that sort of fit Peyton's profile and really productive
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: athletic guys who would be a little bit down the board.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So you know, there's wide receiver help in the draft
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: with players who could come in. You know, they wouldn't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know every position in the offense, but they would you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they'd be able to contribute on a limited basis. Obviously, Cup,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, again, you know, take it for what it's worth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Everybody's got an opinion when you call people around the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: league because everyone's just fatigued in the league about you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: are they being used as a negotiating tool and all
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: this stuff. So but again, it would take it would
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: take them doing some things to get Cup on board.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So you know, I don't know he would have a role,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but you know, I think you would still be with
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the Rams if they genuinely thought he was even remotely
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: close to his best.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff Legwald, everybody, latest update from our guy, Leggy. Right there,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Broncos very well could be looking at a receiver. But
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the Cooper Cup thing essentially paraphrasing Jeff Legwald, don't hold
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: your breath, Leggy, go catch your breath, buddy. We appreciate
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you appearing on the Correkman and Lindahl showed today.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Nice Battling my friend, Happy Vegas,
