  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, but some of us barely made it in.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: What did you have snow this morning? I mean, what
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a shocking revelation. I had no idea there was snow anywhere, and.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Washing it makes sense. Once I got to four or five,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: there was. It was dry and bare roads the whole way. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: not out of my house. I had like four inches
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: of snow at my house. What yeah, And then going.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Over the ridge, I did not have snow. No, just
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: ice on my car.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: You had ice on your car. It's cold and snowy. Well,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know what they say about Woodenville. It is the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Bahamas of the Pacific North. Yeah. Yeah, so rarely a
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: lot a lot out here that I got tan this morning. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: time change, So it was even sunshiny this morning when
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I woke up.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, you slept in a hammock last night. Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: there's some waves crashing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It was like living in a Bahama breeze. Yeah, you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: could just get mixed drinks and right, apparently those are
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: really popular some places, but in most places they fail,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like nothing ever failed.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you put them in places where you're not going
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: for great food, like South Center mall.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, but you got you. You had four
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: inches of snow goodness, yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Crazy and going over the ridge like where Purple Sheet lives.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It was. It was dump and even harder.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: I mean they had yes, seven, eight, maybe ten inches
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: of snow going over that. Yeah, and I mean the
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: roads were just covered in slush.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: It was hairy, to say the least. That's what I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: got here a little bit later because I just I
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: couldn't go ninety in through that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: It was interesting because I was out in Bucky's Neck
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: of the Woods this week and it was pouring with rain,
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: as we say in my.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: House, okay with rain, Yes, okay.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: It's a British thing, I think, because I found out
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: that's not what most people say.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No, that pouring with bright, pouring with rain.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: So I would pull the rain the radio, the weather
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: app up all weekend to look and I told Bucky
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: when I saw him yesterday. Well, at one point the
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: weather app said, you guys are gonna get eight to
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: nine inches of snow one of the days this week,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: and then it went away.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But I think it's coming back. I'm just judging by this.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I did. It did much night for goodness sake,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and I thought we escaped winter. What the hell it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: like one hundred degrees in Arizona already. We were just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: there two weeks ago.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not happy about that either, after I planted one
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: hundred thousand wildflowers. I don't know for sure if this
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: is going to help that. Oh thin, it's a lot
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: mother nature. Oh man, wow, that is a curveball. It
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: was a curveball. Yeah, and uh yeah, baseball season's here,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: or so it seems. And then it's like, yeah, just kidding,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: how about some snowball fights. How's that sounds good?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to turn into rain.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: But then I guess it's supposed to cool down again
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: tonight and dump a little bit more tomorrow. We got
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: a few days of some intermittent snow. But yeah, waking
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: up this morning, I was like, man, that is just shocky.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I am surprised.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I am flummoxed. Yeah, I am gobsmacked. The nature getting
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: her tampon.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Apparently that's what it is.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: She's excited, Yeah, she's yeah, you're right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if she's excited about it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: But tampering with your spirits, she's.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Exerting her authority, authorite.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, we get it, you're powerful. Chill out, lady.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: We're gonna We're not going to do anything to aggravate
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: you this week.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody, your emotions are on it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Everybody respects you most part, we like you. Just calm down, Yeah, ma'am,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that'd be so pushy. Yeah, jeez, well you know what. Yes,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: maybe it's gonna make things a little problematic driving here
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: for you this morning, so be safe up on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: roads and Bucky's neck of the nape. But for the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: rest of us, we're not gonna let it get in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the way of our enjoyment of the free agency.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: For us, ye, getting our Tampa.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It is coming and it is gonna land right square
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: on our faces at nine o'clock this morning. That's when
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it officially gets underway. Here's here's a little bit of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the uncomfortable truth. Is that, man, you give somebody an inch,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: they'll take a mile. And as Greg pointed out to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: us last week, our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the tampering has been going on for weeks. And I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: don't know how they're keeping the Adam Schefters in the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: world and others from leaking everything they know. I don't
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: know how they're keeping them on the up and up.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But I can promise you the moment one of those
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: sons of guns leak something early, the rest of them
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: will leak ten things because they're not going to be
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: out scooped.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The floodgates are going to open.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I don't know how much is actually already known,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and we've just got a gag order on things. But
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the NFL, you know, the season doesn't the off season
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't even start until Wednesday. But we then introduced this
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: tamper in period in which they have two hours they
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: excuse me, two days to get things done and this
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is usually when all the free agents sign. But there
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: is a world out there that exists that I'm starting
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to believe we already know a lot of information, we
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just haven't revealed it. And so here we sit on
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the day of the frenzy getting underway. The tampering period
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: isn't supposed to start until nine o'clock. Usually we don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: have a lot of information between now and nine o'clock. Usually,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, those parameters are respected by the insiders
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and the diggers of information. But who knows. It feels
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: like it's a little bit of a changing world right now,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: so maybe we'll have some information to impart before nine
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: am today.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised if some stuff starts leaking out.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: And I mean, you know, they're obviously letting some people
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: know that they're going to be released right on the
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: way in. I heard that Tua has been you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: they let him know. Not that that's news, I don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: know necessarily.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: But official, Yeah, there's time like tampering, they can release
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: them whenever they want to release.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I will be interested to see what else
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: goes down, because you're right, they to think that they
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: haven't been having some sort of correspondence even though they're not.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: It's a poster yet I think they they do and
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: and uh, and then it's whether or not they leak
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: it out or let it be known before the time comes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: But it will be interesting to see if what'd you
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: call him, count? What'd you call John Schneider.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Called him the Tampire?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: The Tampire. Well, hopefully he's got his cape on. He's
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: got to be awake. And I'm picturing him now hiding
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: behind the cape, sneaking up on somebody, and I want
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: to well.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Of course it's night out. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: wait for a couple more. Yeah, stuff done here soon.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I don't care what clocks we.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Changed, Yeah exactly.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: I think it's Yeah, it's interesting for the first day
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: with the when you know, when you're getting your tampon
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: and your anticipating, like you're looking forward to leaks, because
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: that's not usually the case.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, in this case, I.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Think that's kind of the point of it. Yeah, it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: too avoidly, right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But in this case, like we were, the more the merrier.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Uh huh yeah, leaks all day.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, uh that's yeah exactly.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's kind of the face of logic, really does. But
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we do have some information here this morning, a couple
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of things that have already broken. And this does not
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: tampered with Tamperfest, but Tua Tongue of Iloa has been
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: released the Miami Dolphins so disfranchised with their franchise quarterback
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that they are going to take a ninety nine million
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: dollar dead money hit against their salary cap just to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: get rid of him. Part of that is the success
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that Denver Broncos had in making that decision with Russell Wilson,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton, and the Broncos showed the world that hey,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it's you. It's just better, it's more beneficial to the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: franchise when you know it's not working to just take
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the financial hit, try to find the next guy, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in the interim, perhaps some sort of bridge quarterback to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: get you where you need to go. But this is
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: this is something new in the National Football League, even
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: with a salary cap, even with an individual salary that
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: well exceeded fifty million dollars per year to a tongue
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of Iloa, I think had some issues as a leader
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and obviously had some issues with his health, and then
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this year had major issues with production. The Miami Dolphins
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: just don't want him or in the building anymore. So
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: they are willing to eat one hundred million dollars not
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: just as an ownership group, but against their working salary
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: cap in order to get rid of him. Boy, you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: have really done You've really burned some bridges. If they're
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: going to harm themselves that much in trying to compete
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: in the next couple of years.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean I don't know for sure if
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: you can bank on or human really logically hope that
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: you're going to have success. I mean, if there was
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: a quarterback class coming out where you could you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: probably get a guy that you felt could be your replacement,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: but this year's quarterback class does seem all that strong
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: as far as uh, you know, the guys after Mendoza. Anyways,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of question marks about those guys.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: So they were even terrible at sucking because for a
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: while there it looked like the Dolphins were the worst
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: team in the National Football League. And you're like, all right,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: well that year you get go get Fernando Mendoza, go
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: ahead and eat it. You know, you got two wins
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: on the air, and then they up and won like
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: four straight games that meant nothing to them in the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: middle of the year, and it even ruined their pursuit
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of sucking. Mm h yeah, well, I mean his job.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just you have to have a lot of
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: things go right, or just kind of almost fall into
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: place where your previous drafts and then this draft coming up,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: you need a whole bunch of guys to contribute that
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: are on you know, small rookie deals. Because sixty six
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: million dollars I think is what they're going to be
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: dinged with cap this year, and then they're the thirty
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: three next year. I mean, that's a lot of good
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: players that you could get. Instead, he's going to be
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: either on somebody else's team or or out of football.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: I imagine somebody will give him an opportunity to come
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: in and play for minimum.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But well, you weren't going to have those players either way.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You were either paying him, yeah, or paying him not
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to be on your roster.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Right, Well, yeah, you don't have anybody to show for
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: that money going out the windows. So it's a I mean,
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I would not bet that they're going to have the
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: same type of success that the Broncos somehow found a way.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I think that, like I said, you end up getting
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: a quarterback that kind of fills that spot in bo
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Nicks and the rest of their drafts were kind of
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: coming to fruition to where the rest of your roster
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: was still fairly solid considering you were not playing with
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: the same It's you know, with the salary cap league,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: you got an even playing field. Everybody has the same
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: amount of money to spend. But when you all of
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: a sudden have a third of that or I guess what,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: we're at three hundred million now, so it's a fifth
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: of that that you you just basically are not going
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to be able to use for players.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Good luck, the good luck.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: The good news is though, for your Broncos, they're no
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: longer the team that had to pay somebody the most.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It took the biggest deadrap head.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right now the Dolphins have taking that title, so
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: they'll leave you guys alone.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean the Bronx honestly, though, I mean, I mean, yes,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I love taking cheap shots at the Broncos just because
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: of Bucky. Yeah, not any I don't have anything, but frankly,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I mean they it's how excellent they were in the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: transition of that is what's going. It's just another reason.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's the whole Josh Rosen thing. Just because we made
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a mistake by taking a turd with a top ten
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: pick in the draft doesn't mean that we're going to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: maintain that mistake. I mean, you know, two wrongs don't
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: make a right. Yeah, So the Broncos have just kind
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: of shown everybody there is a path beyond the world
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: of signing a quarterback to a bad contract, and so
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: that's where the Miami Dolphins are. Maybe Jake Browning he
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: got released today by the Cincinnati Bengals. Don't know all
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the details on that, but man, talk about us a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: nice little stop quarterback. This is the kind of thing
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that you do. You find that one guy, you give
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: them a chance. You probably tell them one year, you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: got one year to prove yourself, maybe not even to us,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: but to the rest of the league. But we'll take
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you on one year. We're not gonna pay you that
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: much because we can't. And yet you will be given,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: for the first time in your NFL career, a starting job,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and you can prove to the world that you are
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: one of the thirty two going forward, one of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: best thirty two in the world. So maybe those two
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: things can marry with one another. Hell, Jimmy Garoppolo has
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: been discussed in Arizona as possibly replacing Kyler Murray, and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: they're going through the same exact thing in Arizona, that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins are going through with Tua. Some other things though,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: as we kind of set the frenzy for you here
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: today from a Sea Hawks perspective, all sorts of rumors
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Best I can tell, these are the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: very latest rumors that confront Sea Hawk free agency number one,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Rashichai to Las Vegas. That seems to be the predominant
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: rumor out there. And I don't know if that's people
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: hearing things or if that's just people putting two and
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: two together. Clint Kubiak's now the head coach of the Raiders.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: They have cap space they haven't even more after trading
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Max Crosby. You know, Kubiak's had Shahed in two different
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: spots in the last year plus. Would anybody be surprised
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: if he didn't try to lure him to Las Vegas.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: So that seems to be the predominant rumor surrounding Rashid
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Shaheed that he will be asking for too much money
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to return to Seattle, and maybe the likely destination is
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: reuniting with Kubiak, this time in Vegas.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Well, when we were talking about it, I think that
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: was the way in which I framed my first question
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: to Greg about it was just thinking because of the
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: fact that Kubiak liked him so much, and then you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: he obviously had something to do with bringing him here.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I'm sure he gave him the vote of confidence that yet, no,
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: this is a guy that can take the top off.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: What he does in the.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Return game is important, and they bring him over here
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and it works out one hundred percent.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Now, you know.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Basically was immediately kind of like, well, I know, I
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: think that's kind of going to be priority number one
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: for the Seahawks to bring him back because of how
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: influential he was. I mean that Hunt returning in that
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Rams game, who knows how the sliding doors happen. If
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: he doesn't return that they probably don't win that game.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: You maybe don't win the West and get the number
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: one seed, and who knows if you end up being
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: the Super Bowl champions. I obviously can't narrow it down
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: to one play. There's far too many things that happened,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: but a very important player down the stretch for him,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: and so I'm not surprised to hear rumors of that. Again,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, I don't know if that's actual, real,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: legitimate information or if it's just kind of well, it
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: makes sense that he would follow the guy that brought
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: him here and had him in New Orleans before. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: interesting to see, and yet I wouldn't be surprised one bit.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you end up finding a relationship where
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: you have a guy that brings you to the forefront
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: and kind of gets the most out of you, that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: maybe where you'd want to go.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Ken Walker news over the weekend heavily heavily, heavily, heavily
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: linked to the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, there were
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: some people going about as far as saying it's happening,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and yet it's kind of cooled. Now this morning, you're
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: hearing stuff with the Giants, We're hearing stuff with the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Washington commanders linked to ken Walker. We're just not hearing
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff about how the Seahawks are going
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to at the midnight hour save this relationship and give
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: him the money that he needs. Washington seems to be
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: linked to everyone this morning, and they do have a
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: lot of cap space that was ended up being a
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: really old team a year ago. Here they two years ago,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: we thought, oh, Jaydeon Daniels, here they go there, here's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a fresh young face. They're getting ready to put together
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: a nice run. And then the year after, like, wait
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a minute, they got an awful lot of thirty five
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: year olds on this roster and they crashed and burned.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: So the commander's looking to kind of reset, and they
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: seem to be linked to everybody boy a MAF being
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: linked heavily to the New England Patriots that that could
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: be a destination for him. The Dallas Cowboys a little
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: bit as well, Reek Woolan. Of all teams, the San
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers have been linked to Reek Woolan.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: And in terms of Kobe Bryant, most of the conversation
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: from over the weekend is that the Seahawks Mike McDonald
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: John Schneider want to keep Kobe Bryant, and they do
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: have until nine o'clock this morning before he hits the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: free agent mark. And it doesn't mean that they have
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to stop negotiating with him at nine o'clock, but at
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock obviously the tampering period gets underway, and so
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: other teams theoretically come after Kobe Bryant with offers. So
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: theoretically you should have until nine o'clock today to try
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: to work something out before he can be tampered with.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: But we shall see. Sounds like that there is an interest,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: great interest on Seattle's part of keeping Kobe Bryant. And
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: if you're looking for a name that maybe outside of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Seattle that the Seahawks are being linked to, there's a
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: little bit of heat around former first round cornerback out
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: of Northwestern veteran Greg Newsom. So if the Seahawks were
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: to lose Woolen and possibly job, that maybe they would
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: be in the market for an experienced veteran cornerback. Greg
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Newsom got off to a pretty rough start to his
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: infl career and yet kind of like Sam Darnold has
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: come together a little bit here in his late twenties
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and has given himself a market. He's coming off a
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: very good year, and that maybe the Seahawks might be
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: interested in him should they lose a couple cornerbacks. In
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: this process, we will be cooping you up to date
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: all morning long. That's just the Seahawks stuff. I got
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: stuff from across the National Football League to share with
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you as well. Let's find out what's on tap for
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: today's showing. What's on TEP what's untep. Greg Bell will
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: be with us at seven oh five this morning. We'll
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: get the latest from OKS insider what he's hearing on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: this first day of the tampering period, and should let
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you know tomorrow we're going to summon Mike Sando to
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: our studios couple hours with our NFL insider. Kind of
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: feels like a handy guy to have around tomorrow. So
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Mike Sando is going to be coming in studio with
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: us tomorrow and we'll get to react in real time
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to things that happen during tomorrow's period of tampering, and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: then of course we'll be able to recap with him
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: everything that goes down here today and tonight. But we
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: are prepared for the frenzy, and we have reinforcements coming
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: in in the form of Mike Sando, and of course
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen's always on the bat signal as well in
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: case we do have a Seahawks signing and need our
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: QB one to analyze his tape for us. You could
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: hear from a cast of thousands during the course of
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the next couple of shows right here on Chuck and Buck.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: If you haven't heard, and I don't know how you
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have heard if you are a Seahawk fan. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Max Crosby was traded over the weekend Friday night. As
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, about a martini and a half deep,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I have to read the alert that Max Crosby is
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a Baltimore Raven and not a Seattle Seahawk. It was
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: for two first round picks. That's something that we'll talk
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: about coming up here at the bottom of the hour
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: this morning Cracking. They beat the NHL trading deadline, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: apparently by the narrowest of margins. Apparently Brian McCann left
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: his glass slipper on the stoop outside the castle and
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: then right at the midnight hour it fit his gnarled
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: hockey foot and so he is the newest member of
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the Krack and we'll talk about him a little bit
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: today coming up on the show. The Sounders did win
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: over the weekend against Saint Louis, won to nothing the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: final score there. Selection Sunday is in six days in
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: college basketball, so the Friends he meets the Madness this week.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: The Big Ten Tournament also is going to take place
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: this week. It starts on Tuesday. We do know that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: UUB will play Wednesday, at eleventh thirty against USC, a
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: familiar foe there. So that's how their Big ten tournament
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: will begin. Meanwhile, the WCC has advanced enough that finally
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the Zags will be in action tonight, playing their first
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: game of the WCC tournament tonight at six o'clock versus
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Oregon State, and the WBC continues to roll on. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: cannot wait until this pool play round is over with. Frankly,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking we should change the way that this thing
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: is scheduled. We'll talk about that a little bit later
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: on in the show as well. But tonight US versus Mexico,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: cal Rawley versus Randy or Rose Arena and Andres Munno's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: first pitch is at five o'clock. But coming up next,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: we talked about it so much last week that we
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: do now have to discuss the results of Max Crosby
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: not coming to Seattle Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: e KHRFM. Coach Bucky is here, and yes, we have
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of things to discuss with the frenzy getting
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: here with the NFL free agency, but it doesn't mean
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: we're not gonna check in with a coach Bucky. So
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the man that has coached every sport at every level,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: has joined us here again in studio. So today's free
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: agency frenzy. I realize Coach Bucky that you're not going
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to be able to tell what John Schneider is gonna
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: do until he does it. I mean, you're here, coach.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You're not some insider, right, You're not some Greg Bell
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: want to be no so, but you can tell us
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: which of the six free agents. If it were you,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let reach free agency. You got ken Walker,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: you got rashich Aid, you got Rik wollen, Boye, Mafe,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Josh Job, and Kobe Bryant. If Coach Bucky was coaching
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this team, he's not gonna let one of these guys
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: hit free agency at all. He's signing him before nine
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: am today.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, I would probably say Kobe Bryant. I think Kobe
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: Bryant is the one that feels and I don't know why.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know why I feel less about Ken Walker.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: I mean I think probably because a contract year for him,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: and until the injury, it was almost an even time share.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: And then with Zach Scharboney and then and then there
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: was a bunch of times obviously in Key moments that
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: they went to Zach Charboney. So it's in a way
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: it's like Ken Walker. I'll just say, it doesn't feel
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: necessarily like he's Mike McDonald's guy, So in essence, maybe
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: not John Schneider's guy, right, because I do think those
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: two are walking in lockstep at this point, whereas Kobe
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Bryant to me, does feel like a Mike McDonald type
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: of guy, Like he feels like, you know, when Mike
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: McDonald came in here and made those adjustments to the
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: the linebackers right off the bat, there was never a
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: time where I think he was thinking that about Kobe
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Bryant or Julian Love. I think feel like he felt
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: like the back ends locked in. Even when we go
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: out and we spend a draft pick on nick Ki
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: mon Warrey, it wasn't to replace one of those guys.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: It was to add the X factor that what he
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: brings to the table. So to me, it's on the
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: defensive side is kind of where my mind goes. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: yet when you think about boy Mafi or Tyreek Woolan,
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: to me, those two guys, I could see him them saying, hey,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: thanks for your time, appreciate what you did. I can
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: see plenty of flaws that I could upgrade with someone else,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: whereas Kobe Bryant, to me, feels like one that's like
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: I really like all that he brings to the table.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: All right, next up. Look, I get it, we're not
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: supposed to put any stock in spring training numbers. They've
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: just led us astray year after year. We've been burned
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: so many times by believing that somebody's spring training numbers
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: suggest that they are going to be better than maybe
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they actually are. But when do we start paying attention
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: to what Brennan Davis is doing? Hitting a home run
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: nearly every time he plays, and over the weekend he
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: at won four hundred and sixty four feet. Well, you're
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: paying attention to it. I don't think that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's in the mix probably at this
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: point in time, simply because you do have to discount
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: I mean that one that was off the miss the
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: young feet from miserrausis, yeah, that we hit it five
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: miles yesterday or day before whatever that was.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's not like you can't do it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: But some of the hits that he's been having have
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: been against guys that aren't going to be on big
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: league rosters, and so you got to discount some of it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: I mean the Arizona air, the ball does jump there
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: would it would to me. It's more of a well,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: this guy's open in my eyes that he might be
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: a piece this season. Now, maybe not in spring training,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: because I'm not going to change my view. You're not
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: going to have some non roster invite come to spring
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: training and all of a sudden eject somebody that you
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: had plans all off season. You know, twenty at bats.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: He's going to say, well, sorry, Luke Rayley, you're out
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: of here. I'm sorry, Victor Roebliss or Cans, whoever you
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: had thought that was penciled into that spot. Twenty at
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: bats is not going to change that, but it can
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: change your perception of what you think he might be for.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: The team moving forward.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: And moving forward could be a month in the season,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: or at the trade deadline or in September.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Coach Bucket was all so part of the WWE from
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty I was to nineteen ninety four and once
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: trained Jake Lamatta to championship stats. I said in boxing,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: so I would ask you would the WWE interfere with
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Logan Paul fighting NFL players like he claims that they are.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Now he's taken back his million dollar offer. A lot
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of people wanted to fight him because he says his
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: boss won't let him.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I saw a I did see a phone call with
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: someone on speakerphone him basically pretending or it was somebody
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: from w like, we can't we just can't take a risk, and.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: He sounds a lot like Jake Paul.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah phone right, Yeah, so it could be any one
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: of his friends. I had call me, act like you're
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: somebody important, tell me I can't do.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: It, and I'll go, what do you talk about? There's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: no risk. I don't.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I have a hard time seeing the WWE do anything
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: that is to protect their assets. I mean, these guys
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: jump off of, you know, twenty foot things on the tables.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: They're not worried about the health of these guys. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: if you were to have one of your superstars promote
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: fighting some NFL guy, they're all about the promotion. They're
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: all about it. I don't think that there's a chance
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: in hell that the WW is like, no, you mean
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: too much to us. Yeah, they got them written into
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: some scripts, but they could rewrite that script, especially if
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, he's he's going to go out
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: there and just bring a whole bunch of eyeballs, which
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know how many eyeballs it's going to bring.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Not as many as WWE brings, but it brings some
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: extra ones.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, And I was gonna say, also, what are
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: the odds that you would be recording the phone call
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: that you didn't know was coming?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: He might record everything in the line, which, Oh, don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: get me, don't get me wrong, I think he's totally lying.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, he wrote a check that his ass
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: won't cast. That's what I think happened. All Right, we'll
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: talk more about it later on in the show, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: we got to get the headlines next. Plus Greg Bell

• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Andres Munos and Randia Rose Arena. And to quote our
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: friend Andre's Munos, if he gets to face Cal Raleigh tonight,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: maybe Cal will forget about his stuff.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, probably probably not, Mooney, just so you know
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: he has bullpens. Yeah right, yeah, yeah, that's probably not
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: gonna matter.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Cal could forget what pitches he throws. I guess there's
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: a chance, yeah, because Cal doesn't prepare a long Hey, friend,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: what is it you throw again? Curveball? Right, knuckleball? Oh?
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: No, you throw cheese and a nasty slider. That's right,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: I remembered you.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: If only I'm prepared myself more to face Moon.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't want those two to face each other
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: at all. I don't. I don't want to see it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I want either of them to be sad.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see the bat. So WBC tonight,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: what else we got going on? Sounders one over Saint
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Louis over the weekend, one to nothing, So they're off
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: to a two and one start. Selection Sunday is in
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: six days. Yes, the frenzy meets the madness this week.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: We are that close to the NCAA tournament. Big ten
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: tournament gets started on Tuesday. The UW will play on Wednesday.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I was a little confused by that. Yeah, the tournament
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: starts on Tuesday. UDUB plays Wednesday at eleven thirty against
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: USC Gonzag is in action tonight against Oregon State, finally
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: playing their first WCC tournament game, even though that tournament's
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: about a week old. The Zags will be taking on
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: the Beavers tonight at six o'clock. Max Crosby was traded
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. If you didn't hear, he goes to
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: the ball More Ravens in exchange for two first round picks.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: The Ravens do own the fourteenth overall pick in the draft,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and this morning already a lot of activity to a
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: tongue of Iloa has officially been released by the Miami Dolphins.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: They're gonna eat one hundred million dollars in dead cap
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: just to get him out of the building. The Dolphins
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: also traded away veteran Minka Fitzpatrick to the Los Angeles
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Chargers in exchange for a seventh round pick, and then,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: most recently, the Green Bay Packers have sent Rashaan Gary,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a very good player, may be overpriced, to the Dallas
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Cowboys in exchange for a fourth round selection in the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven NFL Draft. So Rashan Gary rejoining Kenny Clark,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: his old Packer teammate in Dallas. And so it's underway.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Here we go, just a couple hours short of the
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: tampering period getting underway, and yet all sorts of information
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: to try to glean from our Seahawks insider Greg Bell.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Let's do it with a Bell tolls, it must be
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man News with Greg Bell.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkly
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: with bright fruit flavors to make every toast shine Game
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now with twelk
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bud.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, are you ready for this? I mean, did
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: you get good sleep over the weekend? Did you make
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: sure you hydrated? Greg? Did you carve up last night
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: to give you all sorts of artificial sugar injury and
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: energy this morning? What'd you do? Are you ready?
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I told Ashley, It's just another Monday for me. I'm
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: finally home for a weekend. So yeah, here we go
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of misinformation, a lot of at this point.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Some of it is just let's just see what happens, right,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: instead of just trying to chase every rumor that goes
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: back and forth. But there was one concrete that happened
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: this weekend that will affect the Seahawks down the road
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: for years, and that was the new deal at Cornerback
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: and Trent McDuffie getting traded to the Rams and now
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: becoming the highest paid corner at four years, one hundred
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: and twenty four million dollars. Because you can bet that's
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: where Devin Witherspoon's agents are going to start. They want
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: to be at the top of the cornerback market, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: now that market is thirty one million dollars a year.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: These deals that get done when you see these numbers,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: so why is it thirty one million dollars on average
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: a year agents comp other deals and Sauce Gardner was
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: the number one cornerback at thirty point five million dollars
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: a year and that's why it became thirty one million
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: a year on average. One hundred million guaranteed is the
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: new bar and the Seahawks John Schneider now know where
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Devin Witherspoon's going to be coming from in the summer.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: That is the background to a lot of what's going
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: to happen this week. Because while not all that money
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: would be charged in year one, and Witherspoon would be
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: entering the final year of his rookie deal here this year,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks have to plan that way for both him
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and for Smith and jig But Jackson, Smith and Jigwa's
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: deal in the same situation will get extended. So when
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: you see the number of sixty million dollars in cap
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: space that the Seahawks have, that's not how John Schneider
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: sees it. He sees Smith and Jigwis Costs. That's a
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: lump that's gonna go here. Here's Witherspoon that'll go here.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Here's the slush fun we're gonna keep so we can
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: make Leonard Williams Rashi Shiheed type trade in the middle
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: of the season. That's gonna go here, And all of
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: a sudden they don't have top ten cap space in
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: the league anymore. That's just the context that the Seahawks
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: are thinking when this week begins.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, coming into free agency as we were
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: leading up to the tampering period.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you think about Ken Walker.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: We spend a lot of time with him, Rashid Jaheed
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: and all these guys that are free agents, and any
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: one of them, you kind of don't feel any feeling
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: of desperation if they end up leaving. Is there anything
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: inside the building that if all of them are gone,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: that you're like, well, that's that's a significant piece if
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: you add them all together.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: It is. But of course they look at it individually
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: at how they would backfill those losses, running back being
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: the most vexing one. If they don't have both Kenneth
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Walker hence actually ARMAONNAD to begin next season, that's an issue,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: but it would surprise me if all six of those
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: top six aren't back. And I've been talking about Kobe
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Bryant and it looks like his market is somewhat set
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: at safety Cam Curll re signing with the Rams reportedly
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: for three years thirty six million dollars. I'm not saying
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: that Kobe Bryant's going to get twelve million a year,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: but that is now the market and how much below
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: that the Seahawks would be willing to offer, and that
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Bryant would be willing to keep for what it's worth.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: For people who love Instagram, Kobe Bryant last night put
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: a picture of himself and side by side a picture
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: of John Schneider pointing into the camera with no context
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: other than those two pictures. Read that, Jamail, I think
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant is a strong candidate to be back, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I know how much Mike McDonald loves him and thinks
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: he is perfectly fitting for their defense. So I don't
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: think they're going to go oh for six in those
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: top six.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Bucky greg bellis with us our Seahawks inside of joining
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: us here on Tampa Fest twenty twenty six as we
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: get the latest information that we can possibly grab from
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: our Seahawks insider before the frenzy gets underway. All right,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: So Max Crosby didn't end up a Seahawk. How invested
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: were they in trying to get him?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Well, we talked about this all last week. They didn't
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: have the weapons to get into that derby. They didn't
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: have the draft capital. And if the graders, I'm not
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: going to say if they were asking for two first
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: round if they were, because that's what they got from Baltimore.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks didn't have two first round picks, and even
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: the one first round pick they had is at the
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: bottom of the first round. Why would the Raiders trade
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: with the team that has the very last pick of
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the first round. That's not a lot of value to them.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: They could trade with any other team in the league
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: and have a higher first round pick than with Seattle,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: And the Seahawks only had four picks overall in this draft.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: They weren't going to mortgage a future first round pick
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: on top of their only first round pick this year,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: which is at the bottom of the round. Anyway, all
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: that to say would have taken a starter or two
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: for the Seahawks to enter that derby and be a
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: competitor for it. So I never really, I stated at
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: the time, I never saw the Seahawks as a viable
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: option for that because it just they don't have the
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: draft capital and first round picks that the Raiders wanted.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Okay, So if then it's looking like, and I'm with
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: you on the idea of you know, Devin Witherspoon, Jackson
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Smith and jig but that's going to take a giant chunk.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Do you do you forecast any individual position? I mean
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: that they are going to go out there and spend
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: any of that excess stuff after those couple big re
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: signings to kind of bolster this thing, because yeah, you're
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: the Super Bowl champs and you're going to lose some
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: people to free agency because of the price going up.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: But there's also I mean, everybody else is trying to
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: improve as well. You don't want to just try to
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: hold serve. I wouldn't imagine is there any position in
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: particular that you'd expect them to spend some of those
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: extra ducts.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: On offensive defensive line depth, defensive line depth, in particular
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: veteran defensive linemen. They will probably sign a running back.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: But all these signings I'm projecting that you're asking me
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: about will come into second and third waves. I don't
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: expect them to be in the next few days. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: we've talked about this. The one time in the last
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: decade that John Schneider has splashed in the first day
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: of free agency was Draymond Jones, and that was an
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: abject failure. Fifty one million dollars down the drain. He's
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: not going to do that again. He doesn't have to
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: do that again. They're not reloading having to go buy
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: players because they stink. They're the Super Bowl champions, have
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: just won the Super Bowl four weeks ago. They're pretty good,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: so they don't need to go jump in just because
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: they have some money to spend, and they won't. That's
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: not how Schneyder does it. You'll see it. I said
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: last week. The teams that spend all the money today, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: just step back and look at what those teams did
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: in the last couple of years. What were their records?
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: How close were they to the super Bowl? They were
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: probably gonna be as close as you and I are
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: to win the super Bowl.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Well, the Patriots got to the super Bowl last year.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: They were the biggest spenders last offseason. I tend to
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: agree with you. I think that that is the general rule.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: But there are exceptions, and the Patriots are a glaring one.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, there are exceptions. That's not how m John Schneider
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: does it.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I agree, and I think, yeah, exactly.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: And this is the way. So this time of year,
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: everyone's frenzied about in the NFL creates this and they
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: want everyone to be fired them. They want us to
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: be talking about it at seven in the morning on
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: a Tuesday in March. From Monday at March. This is
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: the way it's manufactured in the off season. By and large,
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks don't play this way and they haven't built
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: their rosters this way. So it happens every year. And
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be on your show this week talking
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: to why they signed this guy. They could have had
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: him for that money, and they could have, but they
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: didn't forecast that because that's not how they've budgeted their plan.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Their budget of their plan is going to be the
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: second and third wave of free agency. There are a
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: few draft picks they have, resigning some of their own guys,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: maybe it won't be all six of them, and then
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: saving money to make the deals that we talked about,
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: plus make a splash deal in the middle of the
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: season when they're close to competing, and that doesn't play
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: in March. So my point is the Seahawks are not
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: usually March players, and we're in March. So I get
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: the Yanks, the team that fans see that they had
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: this much money to spend its top ten cap space.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: It's not that easy, and that's just not how Snyder
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: does it. And I guess said sixteen seventeen offseasons, his
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: track record has spoken for itself and he's won two
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Super Bowls.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Do it this way, I would agree, Greg, But I mean,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering if just on the other side of the coin,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: there's a good conversation to be had, like if you
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: were sitting down having a beverage with John Schneider of Okay,
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: you don't one beautiful thing about winning the Super Bowl
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: is you don't have a lot of holes to film.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: You You came out as the best team in the NFL.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Now you have some people leaving through free agency. Everybody's
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: getting a year older. The idea of you can do
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: it through the second wave or third wave of free agency,
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: or you could do a big move and then sprinkle
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: in some stuff later on in free agency. I mean,
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: Trey Henderson to me, the idea of when we were
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: talking about Max Crosby, the idea of, well, you take
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: something that was a strength, and that is the defense
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: in general, but you take and you add an elite
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: pass rusher to the outside, all of a sudden, it
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: makes it a feared defense and absolutely a defensive piece.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to be terrified of it. I mean, is
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: there any relevance to that?
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, I agree that that's the way John Schneider
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: usually plays, and he's like, no, I'm not going to
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: go get in that because it didn't work out last
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: time I did it, and I can throw more spaghetti
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: at the wall and more stuff's going to end up sticking.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: But is there any argument to the idea of maybe
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: going out there and making some sort of splashy move.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: Could you see how that could possibly be a night
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: avenue that they might be interested in.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Well again, I think if you said that had a beverage,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: as you say with John Schneyder, he'd say can.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: You believe.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think he would say, can you
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: believe so and so got this much money? We're never
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: going to pay that. Can you believe that Max Crosby
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: got two first round picks from the Ravens? We weren't
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: going to pay that. That's what the conversation is in
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: the building. They're going, I can't believe that the market
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: has gone to this. And every year and he admits this.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Every year there's a guy or to that they think
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get, say twelve minute a year, who gets
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: eighteen and they just all the building and go alarka
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: do that. They don't make a big splash move just
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: to make a slash move, just because they want to
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: be able to say they were involved early. The Draymond
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Jones deal is because they were really berefted dead rusher,
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: and then since then they drafted Derek Colin boy Mothy
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: and they fixed that for a lot cheaper. Again, younger
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: cheaper is the way buy and large, as Chuck said,
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: they are exceptions, but younger cheaper is how the name
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: of the game to win in the NFL, this is
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: the wrong time of year for younger and cheaper. This
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: week is the opposite of younger and cheaper. It's older
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: and expensive, and the Seahawks buying large to stay out
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: of that. Now. Is there an argument to be made
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: this year that they should be splashing. I'd say this
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: is the one year they absolutely should not. They just
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: won the Super Bowl four weeks ago. They're gonna they
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: are really gonna not want to overpay just because they
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: won a super Bowl. They are not gonna pay a
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: premium even on their own free aid, simply because the
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: rest of the league values a Seahawks player more than
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: he did a month ago. That's really what's going on
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: with Kenneth Walker and Rashid Shaheed. If they don't win
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, nobody's talking about eighteen moon a year
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: for Rashid Shaheed. If Kenneth Walker wasn't a Super Bowl MVT,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: no one's talking about him making fourteen million a year
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: and he probably can come back to the Seahawks had
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: a much stronger chance of him at happening. And Schnyder
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't want to get into that He's like, fine, if
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: that's what the artificial inflation of the market's going to
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: be when he ain't playing, And that takes some fiscal responsibility,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: and that takes some sticking to your guns, But it
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: also takes being in the same job for sixteen years.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: He's rare in the league. There aren't a lot of
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: maybe none now I can't think. Maybe Mickey Loomis with
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: the Saints has been in the job as long as
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Schneider has, and so he's got a lot of cachet
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: built up inside his organization of doing what he's doing.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: If you're a GM who just got there, maybe you
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: make the splash moves when you don't have to because
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: you feel like you have to do this or have
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: to do that. You don't have a track record. He does,
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: and he's committed to sticking to it.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: In our last minute here, Greg Gino Smith, when they
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: made the decision to trade him last year and to
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: go with Sam Darnold mean no, I mean yeah, did
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: they ever ever ever think that it would end up
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: being this big of a victory for them?
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: This reminds me of the Russell Wilson trade because they
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: didn't expect this to be this bigger deal for they
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: didn't think the Broncos would be giving him a top
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: five pick that became Devin Witherspoon. Let's not forget Devin
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Witherspoon is a Seahawk and three time Pro bowler because
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: of the Russell Wilson trade. That No, no, no, no,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: they did not. They did not think that the Raiders
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: would swallow fifty nine million dollars and lose thirteen games
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: and Gino Smith would throw seventeen interceptions and Sam Donald
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: lead him to the Super Bowl. No, that did not.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: But man, did they do? They look smart for that deal, now,
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: don't they?
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god?
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's like, well, of course we did that.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that that has worked out. That's even worked
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: out better than the Russell Wilson trade because they won
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl with it. But yeah, now you're talking
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: about Geno Smith taking some perhaps veteran minimum deal, which,
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: by the way, with to a Tunguoiola getting cut. This
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: is another quarterback on top of Kyler Murray who's going
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: to play on a veteran minimum contract somewhere while someone
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: else pays the freight, just like the Steelers got Russell Wilson,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, and the Broncos paid all
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: that guaranteed money to him. They have such dead money,
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: both Murray and Tongue of Iola, that he's going to there.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: A team is going to sign each of those two
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: players simply because they can only pay him at one
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: point three million dollars a veteran minimum, while someone else
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: pays the rest of the money. That will, in turn
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: let those two quarterbacks be picky on where they want
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: to go play. We'll see about the Vikings that seem
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: to be an obvious destination for any of those three quarterbacks,
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: including Gino Smith. But John Schneider has to sit back
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: and just go Wow, that worked out pretty.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Well for us, I will say. I would say, so,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: all right, well, don't you know, don't leave town, you know,
• 48:26

  Speaker 1: That's a fair trade.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: A lot more than money. Actually, yeah it is. And
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: a tussle hair tussle. Yeah, yeah, fills yep. Uh So
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: to Leylap Resort Casino. Qu'll see the Creek Casino again.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: We'll have some reminders for you in the next couple
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: of days as to what we are going to launch,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: so make sure you are tuned in for that. All right,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: we gotta talk about this thing. So Geno Smith is
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: no longer going to be a Raider, as we just
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: discussed with Greg Bell. I mean, I don't know if
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: a move could have turned out better. There's no way
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: they could have envisioned that this would turn out as
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: successful as it was. I mean it felt like, I
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe maybe if we did have that drink
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: with John Schneider and his red Solo cup, he would
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: tell us I knew all along, played all of you.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: I knew Geno was gonna go belly up, and I
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: knew Sam Darnold was a top five quarterback. Ginger Jesus. Yeah,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: but it did feel, at least at the time, that
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: that was a difficult decision for them to make to
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: move on from Gino Smith, to trade him away without
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: having a sure without having a quarterback. I mean, they
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: got rid of Geno before they signed Sam, and.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Then you're just hoping you can get the guy you want.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd already moved DK and then you moved Geno
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Smith and really didn't have a sure thing at quarterback
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: to replace him, and then the free agent signing of
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. So it felt to me at the time
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't the easiest decision in the world, but
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that the organization has decided this is the best decision
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: for us right now. And then for it to work
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: out the way that it did. You win the Super
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Bowl and Geno Smith doesn't even make it to the
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: tampering period of the following year and not traded, just cut,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: we will eat the salary, get out of Vegas and
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: don't ever come back. I mean, I mean, you couldn't
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: have had a more extreme result.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: No, And yet I mean that I have a hard
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: time feeling like the tie between Pete Carroll and Gino Smith.
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: And it worked out, I mean to some degree in
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: the on the heels of John Schneider and probably Pete
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Carroll saying enough with Russell right him wanting to cook
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: and he's not a chef, he shouldn't be cooking. He
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: should just be doing what we told him to do
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: that led us to a Super.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Bowl at one point in time.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Moving on from that and having Gino step in and
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: it wasn't like it was all horrible, but it wasn't.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: It was far from great. It was far from something
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: you're like, I can build my franchise around that. But
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised if John Schneider and Pete Carroll
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: over a Red Solo Cup had a couple disagreements about that,
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: and it was probably part of the all right, we
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: just got to go in separatear we're not on the
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: same page anymore.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: We were for a long time.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: It was great, it was fun, but give me my
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: Red Solo Cup back and you're out of here and
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: you can take Gino with you. I don't think that
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: they would have seen it as going from where they
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: were to first. And I guarantee if Pete Carroll didn't
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: think I'm taking this job and I'm bringing Gina with
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: me and we're going to go from mediocrity in Seattle
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: to the worst team in the NFL, he necessarily saw that.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: But I think that I don't think that John Schneider
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: would be even He maybe wouldn't boast about it, but
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: I think in close quarters he would probably be. Yeah,
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: I knew Gino Smith was not going to take us
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: where we wanted to.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Go a lot guarantee it. He was a lot more
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: clear cut on the idea than he led us to believe.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: To protect Gino, yes, and to protect the trade value
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: of Gino, but he couldn't have thought that it was
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: this overwhelming. It couldn't have thought we're going to be
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: the best team in the league next year and they're
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: going to be the worst.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: No. I don't think anyone would have predicted that in
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: a night hoping. I think if Pete would have known that,
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: he wouldn't have taken the job. And I do think
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: that Pete his sentimentality over the years maybe has increased.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: In his decision making.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, he goes to Vegas and he brings Gino,
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett, Jamal Adams. I mean he's clearly got his
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: you know, his affinity for his players, and he's always
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: had that. But I do think that at times it
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: can be clouding his judgment. And I would think that
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: that seemed like maybe the case.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I think he got way too involved in the personnel.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I think he got way too heavy handed with you
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: know what, John, I respect your opinion, but we're going
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: to do this. Yeah, I have the hammer. I have hand,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: we're going to do this, and I think the I
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: think way too many of those things were happening in
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years with those guys, and that's
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: what led to the coup. That's what led to the overthrow.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: And Gino wasn't done making headlines last weekend. I'm sure
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: most people saw this. But for whatever reason, and maybe
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: it was sagging market share, you know, maybe it was
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: that Wendy's is desperate, the fast food once fast food giant,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: is desperate for business. But for whatever reason, some pr person,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: probably a Raider fan, decided, I'm going to take a
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: cheap shot at Gino Smith, and so Wendy's tweets out
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: in these things don't work out in free agency, we're
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: looking for a chief tasting officer and tweeted it directly
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: to Gino Smith. Uncalled for ridiculous. I mean, why on
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: earth would that happen if you weren't just looking for
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: some cheap publicity.
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing is they had posted they
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: are actually hiring a chief tasting officer. It's a job
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: that they have, like somebody to do social media stuff
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: of their food and they're going to pay them one
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars a year, and they have like this
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: whole thing going right now, this promo you can apply
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: online till March thirtieth and you can be this person.
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: So I think that is exactly what they're doing there, Like,
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: let's promote the job we've been trying to get people
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: to apply.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: For, right, and we'll do it through you know, social
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: media means, and so we'll call out somebody that just
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: got released from the National Football League. Well, Gino then
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: spent the rest of his day, obviously stewing over this,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: angry about it, and got in a teak for tat
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: argument on social media with Wendy's, sending out like tweets
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: about how their sales had plunged in the last quarter
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: and taking shots at them himself and how bad their
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: food was and everything else.
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, come on, man, yeah, come on, you look
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: like the better person if you don't respond, of course
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: you do.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you realize how small you look by responding?
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Be the joke? It's okay, nobody was taking it that. Yeah,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: you got you. You were the joke. You were the
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: butt of the joke from from Wendy's. For goodness sake,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: and a few people took shots at you, but you've
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: made it a thousand times worse by arguing with them online.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: And now I don't know. I mean, I think he's
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: gonna find a job somewhere. Uh, but Gino's taken the
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: wrong turn, man, he has just taken the wrong turn.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: He kind of redeemed his entire name here in Seattle
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: and then just has been given it away ever since.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: It's like righting everyone back exactly.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're keeping receipts, are writing back at this point,
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: I don't understand it either. I mean, it's the day
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: and age. You're right, uncalled for for Wendy's to necessarily
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: go there. But it's just the way that it is.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: People are. They're looking for clicks, they're looking for engagements.
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: They will do whatever, say whatever, whether it hurts your
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: feelings or not.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: And yet when it's.
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: Part of your way, I mean, it's not like Gino
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: Smith hasn't used social media to his own benefit to
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: bolster his resurgence. When he came here, he most certainly
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: was Yeah, the tide is flowing in my direction right now.
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna ride this wave. Well, when it's not flowing
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: in your direction. When you basically go from you get
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: released from a team and they go on to win
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: the super Bowl and you go to the worst and
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: then you get released from that team, You're gonna get
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: some some arrows slung your way. Just let it glance
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: off your You're a bazillionaire. Just be rich, and who
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: cares what Wendy says? Instead, you make yourself look like
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: a kid.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Or just you make a joke back. I would have
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: had you gotta pay me more than now? What am
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: catching strays for? I don't know, Just something that shows
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: that you've got a little bit of a sense of
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: humor versus being the most sensitive person this side of
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Kevin Durant.
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: I would have had them someone. I would have said,
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: who can make a meme of me in a Wendy's outfit?
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: And I would have posted it to be the joke
• 59:20
  Speaker 6: to show your whatever you're doing is not going to
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: phase me. But instead he did that and then everybody
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: else started posting memes of him in a Wendy's outfit.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, just tweet out I got your
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: big and juicy, right, you know, I don't know?
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, square meat, round bun.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense, right, But he ended up looking
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: petty and silly and defensive all weekend long, and and
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: then took far more grief for doing it that way
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: than he did for the cheap shot joke that Wendy's
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: told at his expense. Yeah.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a good look.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Not a good look, not a good look at all.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: All right. Uh, Sam would have never done it. Hate
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: to keep running that in your face, But Sam Darnold
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: would have been above that.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: Probably would have applied for the job and said, yeah,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: I would add that to my resume.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Probably would have taken them back to the top of
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: the burger world. Probably, Yeah, just by involving himself in it. Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mean rubbed salt in the wound.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: But Sam would have handled that a lot better. Yeah,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: probably like a champion, Like a champ.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Coming up next, the Kraken did beat the deadline,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: but barely. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. As
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: the NFL free agency frenzy continues, let me get you
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: updated because the information is now starting to roll as
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: we're getting closer to the top of the hour and
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: the tampering period officially beginning. Travis Kelcey. Despite what I
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: just said about fifteen minutes ago, looks like he will
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: be returning to the Kansas City Chiefs on a fourteenth season,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: So it looks like he will play again for the Chiefs.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: That just seems right. Dallas Cowboys seemed to be very
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: interested in Trey Hendrickson of Falcons. Might be a team
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: that pursues to a tongue of by Low. I guess
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: they want just all left handers, all southpaws. I did
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: hear that?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess maybe you don't have to change things.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: If Pennix goes down, you're really going to change anything
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: for two.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: And then tebou think they're signing him as well. Of
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: them great idea. Sounds like the Trent Williams San Francisco
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Things just not going to come together.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: And some other teams are starting to be linked to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Trent Williams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, so that's something
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: certainly worth monitoring. And believe it or not, the Philadelphia
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Eagles are shopping not just one of their issues, one
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: of their players that causes them angst in AJ Brown.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: They might be dangling Jalen Carter as well, there's a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: lot of smoke here for there not to be any fire.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: But Jalen Carter is being discussed in a lot of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: trade rumors out there Green Bay, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Chicago and Seattle Seahawks Jalen Carter. So a lot of
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: things we're monitoring here for you, and we'll get more
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: into it in our nine o'clock hour once the tampering
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: period is underway, we'll have more time to discuss this
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Wednesday or maybe Thursday. But I just I want to
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: say it now. I want to go on the record
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: in our minute left that we have here in this hour.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: I'm liking the WBC, but are we really exposing all
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: of our best major league players to this competition to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: just have a series of blowouts in pool play against
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: countries whose majority of their rosters aren't even from their country?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, are we really? I mean we already talked
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: about how we're not real comfortable about having to play
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: these games and you know, possibly risking major league players
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: for the season to participate in this WBC Classic. And
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: to me, I'm fine with that as long as we've
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: got a good competition. But all I'm watching in pool
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: play is one blowout after the other against countries who
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: don't even have anybody from the country on the team.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Why are we doing this? I mean it's to me,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I think that we got like eight teams that should
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: not even be participating in pool play. They just get
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: to advance right to a tournament and then let everybody
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: else fight it out in pool play that doesn't have
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty five major league regulars on their roster.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: It just feels unnecessary to me.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: I mean there is a lot of blowouts. I mean
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: a Dominican you know versus what the Netherlands or whatever.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, typically those aren't going to pan out.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: That's not one of the examples. They got like nine guys,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: but then again, none of them are from the Netherlands.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: They're all from Kirosau. They got like nine major leaguers
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I don't know, I like
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: seeing these underdogs because it's a lot of the guys
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: are you know, they're playing for you know, Australia for example.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw that that one brother
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: was in the stands, that his brother was out there
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: pitching and he's getting all emotional because it's the biggest
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: thing that his brother's ever done, and so he's kind
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: of getting to live through that vicarious. I mean, there's
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of guys on some of these teams.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: That will never be in a bigger game than these.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Right, and so they're getting if they're getting to play
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: against a Dominican or Venezuela or America or you know, Japan,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: these the teams that would probably advance, Like you're talking about,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: that's some pretty cool stuff, was it? Who was it
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: the seventeen year old kid that was pitching against us? Yeah,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: like high school kid, he's going to pitch in the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: big league.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was kind of cool to see that moment. Yeah,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: that was pretty neat. I can't imagine what's going through that.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying cool moments don't come around. But if
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I'm John Stantlem, like I invest, I have two hundred
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: million dollars invested in Julio Rodriguez and he has to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: face a seventeen year old knock need kid that might
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: hit him in the ear. Yeah, I mean to me,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: it's not worth it for those extra couple feel good stories,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: just isn't. So I just want to skip over. I don't.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: I think some teams just are too good to be
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: in pool play. We don't need to see all these blowouts.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I don't need to. I don't need Cal Rawley catching
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: nine innings in a blowout.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I can totally.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: I can definitely understand the nervousness of having them play
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: against some people maybe who you know, aren't nearly up
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: to their talent level. But I think, I mean, you
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: could get hit by a pitcher, you could get hit
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: by Terrek Scouble in the year. I mean it doesn't
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 6: you know that's a risk regardless of who you're facing.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, Robert Turbin joins the sports
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: radio ninety three point three kJ RFM, Happy Tamper Fast
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. We are in it nine o'clock hour.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: At the tampering begin. Oh, they're gonna be tampering from
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: coast to coast. If you got you got a child
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: who runs less than a six flat forty, he's gonna
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: be tampered with. Guy, there's gonna be tampering going on
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: in every restaurant, every corner of every bar. You better
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: believe tampering is on.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: Its way, and it starts officially now it's already happening
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: right now, two minutes into Tamperfest twenty twenty six.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: Oh hope Bear's not getting tampered with too much. Probably, yes, probably,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Mike mcdonald'll probably bugging him already. You're gonna be big son.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: He's gotta get the recess lad alone. Good morning. NFL
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Free agency frenzy starts with a two day tampering period,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: and so we should start finding out some information here
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: relatively soon as the free agent fur begins to fly. Seahawks,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: of course, have six starters entering free agency. Doesn't sound
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: like they worked out any deals at the last second
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: to keep them. Kobe Bryant, Reek Woolen, Josh job Boy,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: Mafe ken Walker, Rashid Shah. He looks like they're all
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: going to enter this tampering period having not been signed
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: by the Seahawks. And so we'll talk about it for
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: the rest of our hour. And joining us now to
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: help us with the conversation former Seahawks running back and
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: you now see him working in the media as well,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: and that is Robert Turbin who joins us here on
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck. Good morning, sir, Hey, what's up?
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: How we doing how we're going.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Good to have you on again. Yeah, are you excited
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: to watch a little free agency frenzy here today?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: Free agency is always exciting to to kind of wait
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: and see who goes where and what sort of tough
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: decisions teams make. This is an exciting time for US players,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: you know. I remember the first time, you know, being
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: an actual free agent and having some you know, some
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: leverage and some choices in terms of you know, where
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: we could go.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: And so it's fun.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: I mean it's fun on the on the team side,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 7: and certainly for the player side as well.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: I'm very curious from your very interesting perspective, because, on
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: one hand, I know, when it comes to ken Walker,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: you probably want running backs to be valued for what
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: they bring to the table. On the other hand, you
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: spent your career as a backup running back, and I'm
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: sure there were times where you thought to yourself, you're
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: paying all that guy all that money when I know
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: I could do it better than he can. So where
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: then do you land with how valuable ken Walker is
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: to the Seahawks and their future success.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: Well, I think he's extremely valuable to the Seahawks and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: their future success. You know, but I don't think that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: he makes or breaks the team either, And that's what
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: is always tough about, you know, making these choices. Right,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: you get a special player like kenne Falk with the third,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: but you've got to manage the salary cap in a
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: wise way, and so you have to do this thing
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: from a patient perspective. And I think that's why we
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: haven't seen any of these guys that that that are
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: free agents for the Seahawks get signed yet sort of
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: in this tampering window. You gotta be patient, and you
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: got to allow guys sometimes to go go out and
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: explore the market that not only helps the player in
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: terms of, you know where his value sits at this
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 7: moment in time, but also the team in terms of,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: you know what kind of what kind of offer can
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: we make that we feel is is suitable for for
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 7: for both sides.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: Robert, we were talking earlier today about K nine and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: how after Zach Charbney went down and he basically was
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: given you know, the lions shares here, you're you're running
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: the rock. There's no more time share trying to keep
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: you healthy.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, he showed out, he ran as well as
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: he had at any point in time as far as
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: three games in a row as a Sea Hawk when
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: he was running, he kind of has that patience. They
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: were talking about how patient he was in the Super Bowl,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: and yet at the other times when he gets stuffed
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: for you know, no gain or one yard loss, people
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 5: are call that tiptoe up to the line. So when
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: you saw him running in the playoffs and how well
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 5: he ran and up his stock, so to speak, was
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: that something that you looked like he learned something, he
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: figured something out or was that just the blocking and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: they were holding those blocks a little bit longer. What
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: was it that you saw, Because obviously it has upped
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: his value in free agency.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: It was his it was his development, you know, over
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: the course of time that he's been with the Seahawks,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 7: and so you got to give a lot of credit
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: to him. You got to give a lot of credit
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: to his position coach at running back, and you know,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 7: really quick Kubiak is offensive coordinator in terms of just
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 7: learning who Kenneth Walker is and what he does best.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: But you know, the adjustment with his patients and everything
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 7: like that at the line of scrimmage. That took time
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: for Kenneth Walker to learn because when you watch him
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 7: on tape for a long time, he was always seemingly
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 7: in a rush, in the rush to get to the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 7: line of scrimmage, in the ruest to get through the
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: line of scrimmage. Sometimes you know he would miss opportunities
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: for big runs because of lack of patience. And so
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 7: when you think about his day to day process, who's
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: coaching them, what kind of offensive scheme is being centered
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 7: around his skills set? You know, all that equaled out
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: to him, you know, becoming the runner that he became
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: in terms of and being the MVP of the Super Bowl.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: I think it was his development over time.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Robert Turbin is with us, former Seahawk running back and
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: of course the owner of world's largest biceps. He's with
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: us right here on Chuck and Buck in the Morning's
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: talking about NFL free agency and specifically Ken Walker looks
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: like he will be entering NFL free agency. A deal
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: has not been worked out. Is there part of you
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: that worries that he figured things out at it took
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: four years, but now he has figured it out, and
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: if he wears another uniform next year, he's going to
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: take all those things that he learned here in Seattle
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: and he's finally going to be that special running back
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: that we forecasted him to be four years ago. I mean,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: he's been good as a Seahawk, Robert, but I don't
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: know if we could have categorized him as special until
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: the playoff run. Do you feel like he's going to
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: take this momentum and end up being special in another
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: team's uniform going forward, Well, I think he is.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: You know, I think his his growth is going to
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 7: continue to climb over the course of his career. I
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: think he's just entering his prime now because he's got
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 7: something figured out. But that's the scary thing about free agency.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 7: And I'll push back on what you said a little bit.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: You know, in terms of now becoming special, I think
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: he always was, especially early on his career. Then he
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 7: had some injury that kind of dinged him up here
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 7: and there, kind of kind of slowed him down, kind
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 7: of slowed up his development. But in terms of his
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 7: explosive speed, elusiveness and being able to take the ball
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 7: to the house from anywhere on the field, that's always
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: been there and that's pretty special. But I think he
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: put it all together this season in terms of you know,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: the patients like we talked about and everything else. But
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: I think that's only going to continue to rise even
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 7: when he goes to another team. But that's also where
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: he has to be careful in this situation. And if
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: I was giving him any advice, Obviously you want to
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 7: maximize on the dollars, especially especially at running back, but
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: I think there's also a space to understand, you know,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 7: where he is in terms of playing for the Seattle Seahawks.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 7: Seattle Seahawks very special organization. Not every organizations run the
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: way Seattle Seahawks run. Then you have to think about,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 7: you know, Seattle as a whole, like the town, the people,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 7: the opportunities that present themselves post career. It's hard to
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 7: think about retirement, you know, when you're in your prime.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 7: But the truth of the matter is, man, this thing
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: comes to an end for everybody. So for Kenneth Walker,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 7: it's like, Okay, you know, do you want to go
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: chase high dollars and maybe not as good of a
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: team and maybe not as good of a relationship with
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: the city, or do you take a little bit less,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: continue to build the legacy that you've already established with
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks and the city of Seattle, because to me,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 7: that's going to create so many more riches for you
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: than any dollar sign on a contract can at this
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 7: moment in time.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's yeah, that makes sense. I mean, I mean,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: I got one more on the ken Walker. I mean,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: just because you're a perfect guy to ask this. You
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: were maybe used more so as the change of pace guy,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: and yet you would understand the toll that it takes
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: to go through the car crashes of being a running back.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: And there's some reports out there that Cannine maybe was
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: super pumped about being used in such an equal kind
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: of time share with Zach Shermany on a contract year,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: and yet that also is you know, maybe it's not
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: the reason, but it definitely helped in the fact that
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: he was as fresh as he was healthy as he
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 5: was to be able to run through the playoffs the
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 5: way that he didn't and kind of up his stock.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: So as a running back, I mean in today's game,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: is that just the way that it is? Is the
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 5: shared thing? And does he have a legit beef as
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: to not getting more number one carries in a contract year?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I can see exactly. I understand where
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 7: he's coming from on that because you know, like the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 7: only one running one running back on the field at
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 7: a time, man, and we want to be able to
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 7: maximize on those opportunities. When you're a starter, you want
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 7: to come out the game when you want to come
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 7: out the game. That's really what it comes down to.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 7: I don't want coach pulling me out unless I say, hey,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 7: I need a blow for a couple of plays. That
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 7: that is what Kenneth Walker, the third here is talking about.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 7: You know, I don't think he minds, you know, sharing time,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 7: but he wants to control you know when that is
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: and sometimes it could be frustrating for a back when
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: when you when you don't have control of that. Like
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 7: the Christian mccaffreys of the world and the Derrick Henry's
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 7: of the world and the Saquon Barkers, they control when
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 7: they're coming in and when they're coming out of the game.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 7: And so if you want a situation like that, I
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 7: can certainly understand it. You know, we're we're we're highly
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: competitive guys. But I would I would, I would really
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 7: sit back and look at how this season played out
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 7: for him and the benefit it was to have a
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: one two punch you know and have a second guy
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: by his side, and I think that even as he's
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 7: looking at free agency, a situation like that would benefit him.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: Great stuff here this morning from Robert Turbin, former Seahawks
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: running back does work with serious XM's an NFL analysts
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: also CBS joining us here this morning on the day
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: of the tampering period, which got underway just a few
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: minutes ago. Uh, to talk about some of the Seahawks
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: issues heading in to this free agency period. All right,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: so just let's lump all the other ones together. You
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: got Rashid Shahed, You've got Kobe Bryant, You've got Josh Job,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: You've got Rik Wollen, you've got boy A Mafe. Of
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: those five guys, what's what's one guy, Robert that you say, Seahawks,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: don't let that guy go pay him whatever he wants
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: to keep him on this roster.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 7: Uh. You know, honestly, that guy would be Kenneth Walker,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 7: the third.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, no he's not.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 7: He wasn't on that list that you just mentioned, but
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 7: you know, and and obviously all of those guys that
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 7: you mentioned are are our key contributors, you know, to
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: to the title run this last year and and really
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: really good players, especially Rashid Shahid because of his versatility
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 7: how you can use him. You know, we talked about
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 7: his return game, but you know, he's feel a good
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 7: wide receiver, that number two option on the outside, you know,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 7: opposite jays N. But then you could use him in
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 7: some gadget plays, reverses and sweeps and things of that nature.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 7: And so he does bring some dynamic to your offense
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: because of his special speed. And so if I had
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 7: to choose one just from that list, it would be
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 7: Rashiza heat But quite honestly, I don't see any of
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: those guys coming back.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: Wow, really, none of them are not not even any
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: of the defensive guys Kobe Bryant, just Job or Riq Wolan.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: They're gonna just have to replace a few dudes in
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: the back end.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 7: Uh Josh Job. Josh Job is a guy that that
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 7: I see out of all those guys like guaranteed.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: To come back. H M M and h. And would
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: you do the JSN and Witherspoon things this offseason.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: As far as extension extension, Yeah, I think I think
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 7: the earlier you can get those things done, the better,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 7: So I would say yes.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we haven't even talked to you, uh since
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: the team won the Super Bowl. I mean, what are
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on that ride? I mean, uh were you
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: were you able to believe it? When did you know
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: that this team was going to be a Super Bowl champion?
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 7: Probably not until about three quarters through the season.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: Was the second matchup against the Rams. It was a
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 7: close game. They won it at the end, and I
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 7: just felt like, okay, there that that's the edge that
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: they needed right there. And then they you know, then
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: they I think it was the last game of the
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: season they beat the forty nine ers, but it was
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 7: a few weeks before that they played the Rams. They
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 7: won a close one, and to me, it just gave
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 7: them an edge. And I and I and I said
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 7: to myself and said, man, they see the Rams again
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 7: in the playoffs. Seatle's got the edge. I just felt
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: like they had the edge, you know, just from that
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 7: one win. But it took a good, a good chuck
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 7: of the year, you know for me to see the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 7: team as actual Super Bowl contenders.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Great stuff, Robert, Hey, great to chat with. Dear, thanks
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: for coming on this morning, sharing a few thoughts. We'll
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: bug you again soon, all right.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 7: Anytime.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: All right, Robert Turbott Turbo joining us right here on
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the mornings, right here on Free
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: Agency Frenzy Day. As he's always got some interesting thoughts.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: So I had a feeling that the running back loyalty
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: would show up. Now they know what they do, they
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: know their value, they know the beating that they take.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: And I don't think you can be in that fraternity
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: without defending their ability to make money. Pay the man.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: That's how I feel Robert. But I think he's got
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: the I think he gets it though, unlike Michael Bennett,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: just pay everybody, pay anybody. Robert gets it, like you
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: can't pay everybody. And he's thinking that maybe Josh Joe
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: and that would be about it that they can keep.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he would probably he would say it should
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: be Ken Walker, because I mean, he just flat out
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 5: said that the way in which he ran through the
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 5: playoffs was his development, not all. He just got a
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 5: better idea what the system is. It was he learned
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: and now, maybe unfortunate for him or to the Seahawks
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: if it took him four years to figure it out,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 5: but he had multiple offensive coordinators, multiple head coaches. If
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: it did just take him to this last little month
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: of his Seahawks' tenure to figure out how he is
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: patient but then explosive, tough when he needs to be tough.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: Good for him, even though it might mean that he
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: goes off and has a bunch of you know, fifteen
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: hundred yard seasons or a few of those with somebody else.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: Well, that's and that's what I thought. I mean, I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: liked him when they drafted him. I loved it when
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: I first got exposed to him as a Seahawks player
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: his second year in the league. I overdrafted him in
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: fantasy because I was sure that he was getting ready
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: to give us a fourteen fifteen hundred yard season. I
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: talk to my brother, who is doing his own fantasy,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: you gotta get ken Walker, and then I can't. I
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: don't hear the end of that, because he just did
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: not produce statistically, and more than that, he just didn't
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: produce as consistently as what you would want him to.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Then he gets to the playoffs and he shows us
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: what he's capable of. I do believe there is an
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: element of Oh man, we might watch ken Walker games
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: whoever he plays for, with our eyes, hands over our
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: eyes just kind of looking through the cracks in our fingers,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: like how good is he going to be? Has he
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: figured something out? Is he going to now go for
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: fourteen hundred yards as a Titan in a season or
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: fifteen hundred yards as a Commander in a season? And
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: all we did is prepped him for that. I mean,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: he's twenty five years old, right, I mean his best
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: football should be ahead of him. But when you're weighing
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: all the things that we've discussed about him, like was
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: he that fresh at the end of the year because
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: you did put him on a carry sharing program this year?
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Does he have some injuries that are always going to
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: pop up every single year? Does he hit the hole
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: consistently enough to not frustrate Mike McDonald where you have
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: to take him out in a crucial drive because you
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: don't trust him. All of those things combined, and you're
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: not going to give him top of the market money,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: which is what he's going to get probably today. And
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: I've been saying all along, the Tennessee Titans have the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: most money. I think he's going to be a Tennessee
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: Titan before the day comes to a close. But there's
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of interest in him, and those teams that
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: are interested just are a lot more interested in paying
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: him a lot of money than what the local team is.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: Well, whoever does it is betting that what they saw
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 5: here the last month of the season, when he was
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: getting a lot most of the carries, that's the dude
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: that you're going to get, and that's what you're gonna
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: end up paying for. Whether or not it is that,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: we'll have to see what that is. But I think
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 5: it's fairly certain to feel like the Seahawks are not
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: in that same category, and ultimately, the team that's watched
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: him every single snap of his professional career, I think
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 5: that's probably the opinion that I would take most.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it. John,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm not gonna judge you, But if he
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: ends up being a Bronco, I'm not gonna be all
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: that mad either. By the way, Alec Pierce did come
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: to agreement on a term of the Indianapolis Colts. So
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: even though we're past the deadline and we are now
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: officially into the tampering period, it doesn't mean that they
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: weren't working on deals at the midnight hour with Walker
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: or Brian or whoever. Doesn't mean that, you know, they
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: might have something agreed upon, but until they have the
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: actual literature for the contract done, that we might not
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: hear that announcement. And even if they don't, even if
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: they don't, I mean, it's not like it's some hard
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: deadline like ken Walker can't eventually be a Seahawk. I
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: mean they can just keep negotiating with him throughout this process.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: The only difference is is that now other teams are
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: legally allowed to tamper with his ass. Okay, so that's
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: that's the only difference. But they can keep negotiating with
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: him all day, all night into the morning. So that
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that these players are leaving Seattle. In case
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: anybody was a little bit confused, you probably weren't. You're
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: you're pretty smart. Alec Pierce, though, did sign a deal
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: with the Indianapolis Colts four years, one hundred and sixteen million,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: twenty nine million a year. Yeah, that's he's a good player.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: It's a lot, though. That's a lot of money, A
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: lot for him, A lot, a lot that is paying
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: him like a at the very least a awesome number
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: two yeah, and almost a number one. Yeah.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 5: Almost ninety million dollars guarantee, eighty four million guaranteed.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, coming up next on the radio program,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: we'll get you up to date on everything else that's
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: going on here in the frenzy. I have a feeling
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: we'll have some information to impart on the other side
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: of the commercial break Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: And it didn't take very long into the frenzy, into
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: the tampon to get in our tampering period on to
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: find out where ken Walker is going. He is leaving Seattle.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: The Super Bowl MVP has in fact signed with the
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. Your breaking news here this morning, and
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: so ken Walker a chief. We don't have the dollar
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: figures on the deal, at least I don't have them
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: in front of me just yet. We'll try to find
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: those out for you as soon as possible. But that
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: did not take very long at all, all that ripe
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: and all that build up, and about thirty minutes into
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: the tampering period, not even that ken Walker is basically
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: the first big name off the books.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: He's a Kansas City Chief'll screw you, K nine, It
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 5: came back here. Now you go to Kansas City. Fine,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: your tip toeer?
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: Now he's a tip toer? Yeah, you who's it?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: And what's it?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: They're not going to be able to figure out how
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 5: to use him in that offense, damn it. Oh he's
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 5: going to go run for two thousand yards, isn't he.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: He's going to make your Broncos look like fools.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: Well if he does, it'll make Seattle bummed out too. Oh,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Misery loves company, Yeah it is, Oh okay, well yeah,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: I mean this is the This was the story that
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: was kind of circulating throughout the entire weekend, like the
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Chiefs look like a for sure thing, and then all
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you wake up Monday morning and other
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: teams are being prominently mentioned as well. But it turns
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: out somebody knew something over the weekend. And I would
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: imagine there are a lot of someones who know a
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: lot of some things that are going to happen here today,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: and I just waited for the right time to announce it.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: And so first big signing is our guy leaving and
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: he's now their guy. Ken Walker is a Kansas City
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: chief And you're right, I mean, you hit upon something there. Yeah,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be really good with that offense. You know,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: I think he would have been good with our offense going.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: I think he would have been better than what he'd
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: been regular season wise the last four years, had he
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: remained in Acawk uniform. But certainly, when you think about
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: all those other teams that were vying for him, the
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: Chiefs make an awful lot of sense.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 5: M Well, I mean you've seen number of guys. I mean,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 5: they've Pacheco was good, he'd ended up getting hurt. He
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 5: had some good years. I mean, I mean they've had
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: multiple guys maybe at the end didn't pan out the
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 5: way that they thought when they took him at the
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 5: end of the first round a couple years back. But
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 5: I mean Kareem Hunt at tian Or Yeah, well not
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: the one that went to the Jaguars. There's another Edwards Hilaire, Yeah, Hilaire. Yeah,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 5: he wasn't he didn't pan out the way that they
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 5: had hoped. But it feels like, I mean they've had
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 5: Kareem Hunt like what seventeen different times, right where he's
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 5: on the free agent market and all of a Suddy
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 5: Hey come on back and he all of a sudden
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 5: has great games here and there, I think this might
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 5: be the most talented running back that they've had in
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 5: a long time. And you throw that in with Patrick
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 5: Mahomes and obviously Andy Reid, you know, as the brains
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: behind the whole thing. Yeah, it could be a big
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: year for him, Yeah, without a doubt.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: And they cleared a lot of cap space. They cut
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: Jawan Taylor to clear twenty million, a couple of guys
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: reworked deals. Travis Kelcey looks like he's going to go
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: back to Kansas City, but probably not near the salary
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: that he was at previously. And so the Chiefs, you know,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: leave it to them, like, hey, we stunk for one year,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: but if we do things the right way with the
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: quarterback that we have and the head coach that we have,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: we should be able to get back on top pretty quickly.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: And this is a move suggesting we're going to try
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: to get back on top pretty quickly. We don't know
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: the money as at this point, but that's a statement.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: That's a statement to start this entire process. The Kansas
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs, after their first bad year in memory, have
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: taken our guy Ken Walker right out of the Tampa fight.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: I hope it's ten years of billion dollars. Yeh, a
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: billion dollars hurt against the cap.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: I will say they are lucky though that Travis Kelsey's
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: in a position that he doesn't really probably need to
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: play for the money, considering he's engaged to a billionaire.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it will take less for sure.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: So yeah, he'd be like, yeah, no, I'm good. As
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: long as you're going to do stuff to win the
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl, let's do it.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So there you go that we don't
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: have to think about that any longer, I suppose. And
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: so what is the move Now? We know Charbonnay's not
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: going to be healthy enough to start the season, and
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: we also know Ken Walker's not going to be back.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: So what is the countermove from the Seahawks. Again, I
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: don't think we're going to hear anything soon. Don't worry
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: about it. Don't get your guts twisted in and not
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: John Schneider probably gonna play out this process, wait for
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: the first wave or two of free agents to pass.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: I'd be stunned if the counter move is Travis eten
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: to just go to the next best free agent. If
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: you're going to do that, then why not keep your
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: own guy that you know and could use, So I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: don't think that's going to be the move. I'm pretty
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: sure they'll draft somebody on Day number two of the
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: draft to play running back, and I'm pretty sure they'll
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: add a veteran free agent through this process as well,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: and that's probably going to be your running back tandem
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: heading into next year. But I don't think they're going
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money, and I don't think
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: we'll find that information out in the next couple of days.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: Think it'll probably be Thursday at the era.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 6: Michael Sean Degar just posted Canaan reportedly getting a deal
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: up worth up to forty five million over three years.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 5: TM Millie here, Yeah more than yeah. Yeah, that's a
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: good it's a good chunk of change.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: Good for him him. He ran, He ran well there
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: at the end.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 5: And he's showed spurts of it obviously in his entire time.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: But it's going to be interesting to see what happens
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: when Andy Reid gets him. And I mean, you can
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: never focus solely on the run game when Patrick Mahomes
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: is the one taking the snaps, right, So it's I
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 5: would have to think he's pretty excited. I bet everybody
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 5: in Kansas City and including Ken Walker, pretty excited about
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: the whole situation. But yeah, when it comes to the
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: Seahawks and filling that void, I mean, I think most
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: people are going to have even if it's kind of
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 5: weighted with baby breath, I think that everybody's going to
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: be thinking, all right, John'll figure it out and he
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: will not going to enter the season well, we're just
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 5: going to play with ten guys until Charbon is healthy.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen. They're going to do something.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 5: But it is interesting because the way in which K
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: nine finished his tenure here as a Seahawk, it's not
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 5: going to be easy to replace that. I mean, I
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: think you can figure out a way to do it,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: and hope to do it with maybe a veteran player
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: here or there, somebody that's you know, hasn't been resigned
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: to their team.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. It's going to be interesting to see
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: how that running back room looks come training camp. Yeah,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, the free agents don't exactly leap out at
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: you that are going to be available out there. I mean,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: ETI en I like, and I could see him stepping
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: right in there. But if Walker's going for fifteen at
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: the end's probably going to go for twelve and at
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: the minimum, So I'm not sure why you wouldn't just
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: pay your own guy. So that probably doesn't feel like
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: a candidate to me. Rico Dowdell, I think is a
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: punishing runner who's better than what the Cowboys realized. And
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: I think the Panthers were the beneficiary of the Cowboys
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: mistrust in Dowdell. You can bring him in. I think
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: he's a capable guy to put in a job share.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: He's your power guy, he's your between the tackles guy.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: He can also catch the ball out of the backfield.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Certainly's going to come cheaper than either Walker or at
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: ten in this process. I don't really like Rashad White
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think he's got talent,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: I just don't really think that he's all that smart
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: of a runner. Kenneth Gainwell to me, is a tough guy,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: but he's not a Walker esque replacement. I know Aaron
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: Rodgers loved him from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tyler al Jeer, no,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: thank you, just way too slow. JK. Dobbins, way too injured.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Nick Chubb even more injured Brian Robinson, no, thank you.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: Pacheco is also a free agent. He is a very
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: hard runner, but that's really his attribute is that he
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: just does not stop trying to run people over. Raem
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: Mostert is fast but old, and Austin Eckler is slow
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: but old.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, So.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: It's not a great group. But that's not the only avenue.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: You also have. As we mentioned last week when we
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: were doing the running back position, you also have that
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: option of going out there and trading. You know, if
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: running back value really is down and you find an
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: overcrowded backfield out there and you want to flip a
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: fourth fifth rounder for some established veteran with a locked
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: in salary, that's also an option for John. Of course,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: keep in mind you only have four draft picks with
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: which to work with this year, so trading one of those,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: even if it is the last one that you have
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: for a veteran running back, does come at a little
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: bit of a cost in an area that you don't
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: have a lot of depth in. So yeah, I mean,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: they know, they know they know the market, and they
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: know that they didn't go with Walker, that they were
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: going to have to face a market you know that
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: might be bereft of another ken Walker type. That said,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: it's very clear that we weren't willing to pay fifteen
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: million dollars a year for this player. We'll take our
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: chances elsewhere. It's interesting. Now I agree with it. At
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, I agree with that. Yeah,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: it'll be interesting.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I too.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not change saying where the number was at.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: I was thinking fourteen would be more than what I
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 5: would want to pay, So fifteen obviously still falls in
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 5: that category. But well, boy, you're sitting and you think
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 5: about the brain trust that is Andy Reid, right, If
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 5: Andy Reid is thinking I think he's worth fifteen, then
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 5: it makes me second guess whether why why was I
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 5: thinking he isn't right? I mean, that's one of the
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: better offensive trained eyes that's in the NFL right now,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 5: So it makes me kind of wonder a little. I mean,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 5: you think of Isaiah p Checko, guy that was with
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 5: them basically, who's his market value is probably a third
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 5: of that, and yet they're thinking he's on his way out,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 5: and that's like the fourth best free agent. Now, you're right,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 5: you have the draft with four picks in it where
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 5: you can get something, and then you have other trades,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: and there's obviously somebody on that list that either you know,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: maybe Seahawks wouldn't like, or Seahawks fans wouldn't like, but
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: that John Schneider and company do like.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: It's just interesting, boy, I'll tell you what.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 5: It's just When and when a guy that has thought
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: of as highly as Andy Reid says I'll take your guy.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 5: I'll pay him beyond what you were willing to pay him,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: that does make me step back for a second.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: I'll be interested to hear what Mike Holmgreen thinks. Well,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you have a giant, gaping hole and
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: you are desperate to get back where I think they're
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: a little more desperate than what the Seahawks are, and
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: that's I think that they're tired of having a running
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: back they can't trust. So that would be my guess,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: is that they were willing to spend a little bit
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: more money on a position that they just haven't been
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: able to rely upon here in the last couple of years.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: And that's always projecular. I hadn't been healthy and he's
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: not that dynamic.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's what we've been talking about too, is
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: that we thought teams would overpay for Walker. We just
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 6: didn't really want the Seahawks to overpay for him. I mean,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: I thought twelve million was a good price. It's yeah,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 6: three years worth up to forty five. He's the highest
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 6: paid free agent or it is the highest paid free
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 6: agent deal for running back in NFL history, and he
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 6: is apparently guaranteed twenty eight two point seven million.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: Are They're flying and fast and furious. This is Adam
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Schefter sitting on a stack of things that have been
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: pre tampered with, and now he's trying to figure out,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: all right, how much time do I need to give
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: in between tweets without revealing the tampering violations that have
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: taken place, but also without somebody beating me to the punch.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: So they're just rolling out right now. Jalen Watson is
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: leading the Kansas City Chiefs. He's going to the Los
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: Angeles Rams on a three year deal. So the Rams
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: are ain't going to end up with Watson and McDuffie.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: So the koug and the dog that were in the
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs Backfield and the Rams are going to
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: end up with both of them as JSN defense I suppose.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: And now Jalen Phillips got a lot more than I
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: think people thought he was going to get. The pass
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: rusher has left the Philadelphia Eagles four years, one hundred
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: and twenty million dollars thirty million a year to go
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: to the Carolina Panthers. So Jalen Phillips not sticking around Philadelphia.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: He is now a Carolina Panther. So they're coming fast
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: and furious. Now, welcome to Tampa Fest. One last thing
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: to close out our show. Next Sports Radio ninety three
