• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: What does the Mile Garrett number now due to Jamar
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Chase and his conversations with the Cincinnati Bengals.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, it just took it to another level because
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Duke Tobin, who is the lead executive on these negotiations
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: for the Bengals at the combine, came out and he
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: said that Jamar Chase is going to make the most
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: money as a non quarterback.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: We're going to get that number there, We're going to
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: get that to him. And he said, well, that non
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: number just took a giant leap because no one saw
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Miles Garrett making forty million dollars. It really all started
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: with Max Crosby getting a new deal on Friday, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: suddenly it was like Max Crosby's making thirty five million
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: a year. Now Garrett's making forty million. What do you
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: value Jamar Chase at Who's waited his time and it
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: is now his up oportunity to cash in. Look, I
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: still think the Bengals have great intentions to bring back
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Chase and Higgins, both of them. I think if t
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Higgins was to be on the open market, he could
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: make more than thirty million dollars. I think he's viewed
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: as a better wide receiver than DK Metcalf.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: So all of this tells.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Me that the Bengals might be paying three guys Burrow, Chase,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: and Higgins, and they might have to form the rest
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: of the team with forty nine guys that might not
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: necessarily be the best at their positions.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Or they have to draft Hella Good.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Because I don't think they're gonna have much money to
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: spend anywhere else.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Trey Hendrickson, great player, he wasn't going.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: To be able to be a part of his budget.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Of all these teams that seem to just avoid the
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: salary cap and figure out ways to make it work,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the Bengals waiting to pay Jamar Chase this late may
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: have burned themselves a bit because now you've got Chase
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and Higgins, and the salary cap has expanded to this
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: amount of money.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: They've got to find a way to pay both those guys.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: If they had done it one year ago, two years ago,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: they might have been in a better position right now.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: But it looks like Chas and Higgins are their top
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: priorities and their numbers might have jumped leaps and bounds
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: even the last.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Forty eight hours, we would appreciate it. Yesterday, Miles Garrett
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: and I was like, guys, it was a lot of money.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Figured it out and the money.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: It said, we get this tree from like Mary kay Cabin,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: who's the local.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: We were like that. She spoke to the.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Agent and Miles has had a change of heart, a
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: change of heart about his like four weeks ago. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: not to pile on here, but he was on Eisen's
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: show on Roku. He says, I don't care about the money.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I just want to win a championship. I just want
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: people to know that it's not about money. It's not
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: about me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Being the highest quarterback. It's not about me having a
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: huge contract. But like you could walk go.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Here's the other thing I really, in hindsight, respect the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: heck out of the Browns owner Jimmy Haslm not sitting.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Down and talking with him last year.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Last week, Miles Garrett was asked for a meeting and
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Haslm was like, now you don't get a meeting.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You're under contract for two more years and it could
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: be four more years. We want to franchise tag. You
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: deal with Andrew Berry, our GM deal with him.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Because the same.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Folks that cry about owners meddling with team affairs, why
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: is the owner involved the ownership let.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: The g Why is the owner gettingvolve? Why I is
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Jarret Jonah vault? Were the same.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: People like, how does the owner not meet with Miles Garrett? Well,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the owner's like, no, you're in the contract for two
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: more years.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Play at your contract.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You And at the end of the day, Miles Garrett
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: did not have a no trade clause, so they could
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: have traded him right there. They could have traded him
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: to Jacksonville. Miles Garrett could be a Jacksonville Jaguar this morning.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that's like the pine Barons of
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the NFL are like, but he could.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: They could have traded him anywhere.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: You want to be traded, your giant, you're a jet,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: you want to be traded. You're gonna You're gonna go
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: now be you know you're a New Orleans Saint and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: you don't like New Orleans, Well, sorry, we traded you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Go let them figure out the tent. So at the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: end of the day, he gets paid. But like that
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: whole song and dance in New Orleans. It doesn't rub
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: me wrong. It's just what a bunch of wasted airwaves
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: and wasted segments on our show when the truth of
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the matter was you had to change your heart and
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: forty million dollars in the highest non paid quarterback ever
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: could do that. Congratulations. But now the salary cap is
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: going all to you, and we hopefully can build a
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: champion around New York Giants our backyard right here. The Giants,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: of course, did this Saquon Barkley move last year, not
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: signing him back, saying hey go quick, we're gonna save
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: our money. We're gonna build an offensive line, and then
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the quarterback play was atrocious last year. There is a
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: giant void of that position in there is no sure thing. Look,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I've reported this, I said at the combine, I will
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: double down. Aaron Rodgers is definitely a possibility, as silly
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: as that sounds, oxymoron wise, definitely a possibility in New York.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: That is a guy that they have zeroed in on
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. But Rogers's gonna have options.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Rogers's gonna have options in that he can wait his
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: time out. See what place is filled what carousel seat
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: has still opened? And I do think Pittsburgh's a real possibility.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: If the Giants don't bring in Rogers, Well, you look
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: at the draft and they have the third pick. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: can't really just snap your fingers and say I'm gonna
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: get cam Ward.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: He might be gone. And you can't snap your finger
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: and say we're gonna get shandor he might be gone.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: So you have the third pick, which puts the Giants
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: kind of in this wait and see mode. Are they
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: interested in Aaron Rodgers? Yes? Are they should in Darnald?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think I see that, and I haven't heard that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: And it's more because, well, we went down the road
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: of having Daniel Jones on that two year deal and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: it didn't work out, and we should have known we
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: shouldn't get Is Donald worthy of long term contract in
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: New York? I don't know if Joe Shane's gonna put
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: his name to Sam.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Darnold for the long term.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: And then you start getting down those second and third options,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and it starts getting to Russell Wilson really quick, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: it starts getting to Mac Jones and Zach Wilson really cool,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: and Carson Wentz really quick. It almost makes you say, oh, wait, Rogers, like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: do we need to go all Lennon Rodgers. It's amazing
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: how it went from this peculiar curiosity two weeks ago
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: to now being maybe their best option Aaron Rodgers and
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the Giants to me, but if they don't land Aaron Rodgers,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: it gets really really interesting and it could get really
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: hairy for Giants fans in the.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Next few hours. Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I tweeted this out last night, and I mean
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: it's Devanta Adams is currently in Japan.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: He's in Japan. He's traveling in the Far East right now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: So while this was all going on, Sean McVay was
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: facetiming and calling him while he was in Japan sight
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: seeing and going to Japan for the first time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: So Davante a.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Free agent because of the way the Jets let this
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: thing go and they said, Okay, you're out, and that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Means he could actually sign before.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: The free agency wave and McVeigh was in full recruitment mode.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: If you haven't seen it, it's something to behold. He's
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: done it before in his career, and he did it
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: when he activates like he's like Nick Saban and Kirby
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: smart and you name it Urban Meyer.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: When the Ohio State days.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: All welled into one, Belichick and Bill Belichick not this
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: is it. So you know Adams, this is another stop
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: on the tour. But for the Rams, you know Cooper
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Cup and Pooka Nakool but coming to kind of be
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the same type of wide receiver and that they're these
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: big bodied, strong handed like Devon Dam's a totally different one.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: They signed to to at Well for a one year,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: ten million dollar deal. If we'll roll their eyes, it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: like you want two. Just wait to see the numbers
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that are thrown out the next couple of days. To
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: to at Well at ten million dollars is not going
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to seem like it's going to blow your hair back
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: because the salary cap went crazy this last couple of weeks,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: so they have money to spend. So they have almost
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: a starting five like a basketball team.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: They have different heights and different roles.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And you got your point guard in two two, and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: then you got your long range guy in Davonte, and then.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: You got your.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Underneath guy and Tukah's like they've got different body types,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: different wide receiver skills. And McVeigh was full on recruiting
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: a man in Japan all week and he got his guys,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: So pretty cool story about Sometimes it's a little different
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: than just talking the GM talking to the agent.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the head coach going over to the Far.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: East thirty million dollars, which is a lot of money
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: for DK Metcalf to be making congratulations to him. He
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: gets traded and he goes to a place that's perennially
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs. I am fascinated at two questions. One,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: who is the quarterback throwing him the ball? We should
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: find that out hopefully later today or tomorrow. And two
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: is George Pickens in that wide receivers room as well?
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Because those are two fiery personalities.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: And right now they are at Arthur Smith and.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Zach Aziani, who's the wide receivers coach might be having
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: to massage some egos and making sure that these guys
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: both get the ball. But gosh, who is the quarterback?
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: And I go through it with Pittsburgh right now, because
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I said that was the most burning question in my
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: mind last week, what we were talking about heading into the offseason,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: which team are you most fascinating? I said, The Steelers
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: have been trying to get a wide receiver one.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: For many years, they.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Went after Brandon Ayuk, they couldn't get them. They went
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: after others. In the last couple of years they couldn't
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: get them. They finally get DK Metcalf and the money.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Look the salary cap. It was increased by a X
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: amount of dollars. The money is almost funny money at
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: this point. I can't compare it to previous years because
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: it's gone up so much in the last couple of years,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: where this might just be the going rate for a
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: star wide receiver. And once we see what Jamar Chase gets,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: it'll blow this out of the water.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: What we see at T. Higgins gets by bloat this
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: out of the water.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: So I am fascinated to see because right now the
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: way I see the dominoes.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: You've heard it, and I said it last week or
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: two weeks.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Ago from the combine, Justin Fields is who Pittsburgh wants. However,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Justin Field's going to have a market. So if Justin
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Fields does not come back to Pittsburgh, is Pittsburgh a
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: sneaky place for Sam Donald? And is that Sam Donald throwing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: DK Metcalf passes.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: And then I'll give you a third name. And the
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: ring almost like the Royal Rumble coming in. Here is
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers throwing a DK Metcalf next year? Like that
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: is why as much as we took care of business
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: over the weekend, there are still so many unanswered questions.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: And we have Aaron Rodgers throwing to George Pickens and
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: DK Metcalf with Mike Tomlin on the sideline, like, sign
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: me up. That's a really interesting team. A lot of
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: personalities to navigate there and a lot of egos to massage.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: But DK Metcal's a steel.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know who's throwing on the bay yet. We
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: spent so many years complaining and losing sleep over the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: lack of talent at the Philadelphia Eagles defensive backfield.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Well they finally built that thing up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And now it's like hey, Cooper Dejen and Reid Blank
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: and Ship and Queenyon Mitchell, like the show is yours.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: There's a lot on their shoulders right now. That's real
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: veteran leadership, and I value veteran leadership. I think you
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: look at what that offensive line does. They bring in
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: new talent and they groom them and then it's a
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: defensive backfield though that is an Achilles Heel for the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Eagles for many years. They finally seem like they nailed
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: it last year, and they got these two rookies who
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: played so well. That's a big responsibility on their shoulders.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: But that is what happens with the spoils of winning.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: You at some point are going to have to pay
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, and you're gonna have to
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: pay Nolan Smith and Nakobe Dean and the rest of them,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: just like they paid Zach Bond to keep him there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: So we say farewell to four very very important veteran
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: players on this team, and I guess we have to
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: move on and see But.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't like it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So what do you make of this, the fact that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are in the same room together.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I would just say it's two guys who are looking
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: to salvage their careers at such young ages. Like I
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: didn't realize Daniel Jones was Joe Montana the way the
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: feeding Frenzy was in the media the last couple of weeks, Like, Wow,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Daniel Jones is a market He's gonna be Hey, he's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: making fourteen.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Million a year that's real money.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: And then Anthony Richardson, everyone's writing them off in Indianapolis.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And I don't follow that team closely enough to know
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the inner workings. But when you have a quarterback who's
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: going to his third year and they're already signing someone
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: else for fourteen million dollars, it tells me that the
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: writing's on the wall and that maybe they didn't love
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: what you had brought to the table the last two years.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Not a great sign for Richardson. And I'm not a.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Huge Daniel Jones is gonna We're going to shock the world.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: So to me, I'm kind of nonplussed by this, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I hate being so negative, but like, that is a
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: good team with a good running back, and that is
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: a good team with a solid defense. Quarterback's been the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: missing piece. At least they're addressing it. Chris Ballard's and
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: through this carousel ride of Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: and Philip Rivers and now we're on Daniel Jones. I
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: don't have a ton of confidence that this is going
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to get them to a super Bowl. Rogers we know
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: is going somewhere, and it might not just be a week.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: It might be two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: If you think you know the answer to what Aaron
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Rodgers's timetable is, you know more than the Steelers and
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the Giants too, because I've spoken with teeth to sources
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: on both sides and everyone's kind of got that shrug
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: emoji were William we're seeing give me a space, let
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: him decide.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Now, we don't know the.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Numbers, we don't know what's been offered exactly, but we
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: do know there's been contact treat his representatives and both
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: of those teams.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Rogers.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, I'm told his quote out west right now, that's
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: where he is. So he's not in Chile, he's not
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: in Peru, He's.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Not in wherever he goes for what do they even
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: call it? An enigma?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: His medicine, Yes, medicine in the generals, medicine that for
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: him though West lighte mean like West Asia.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Descinating to me is.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: That he's got these two franchises that are just woven
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: in the cloth of NFL history. You're talking about two
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: blue chip franchises with two blue chip families, and they're
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: waiting on Rogers and this is just kind of what
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: the deal's going to be it is going to be
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: on Aaron's terms where he decides to go, and we're
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: not one hundred percent sure he's going to either yet.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: So Rogers, for.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: All the hoopla about how terrible he was with the
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Jets and how awful teammate he is, to haven't You've
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: got two really strong, really historical franchises waiting on a
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: forty one year old quarterback coming off two years from
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: an achilles injury, and I do think he's their number
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: one option in both of those places. It's funny because
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the Steelers, it's like, all right, if we don't get
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, we could go back to Russell Wilson, which
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we didn't court him really he was our quarterback, and
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: we're kind of going after someone else. But hopefully DK
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Metcalf's an old teammate, they get along and we can
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: make this right. We can put the toothpaste back in
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the tube, or maybe we draft someone in the twentieth
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: or we get someone in the second rounds don't get
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers get the third overall pick, and it's like,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: are we drafting Shador? Are we drafting Shador? And then
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: it gets a totally different road or are we drafting
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Jackson Dart third overall, which wouldn't be the craziest thing
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: if you really have no quarterback and you like Dart
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: more than Shador Sanders. I just think for the Giants,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: you know, we've made fun of the Jets for sending
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Robert Salah and Joe Douglas and Woody Johnson and Christopher
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Johnson to Malibu to go meet with Rogers. And there's
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: TMZ cameras who are outside the house, which was.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Like, what are we doing?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Is it so crazy to find out where he is
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: and go to him if you really want him to
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: be the quarterback, and maybe try to court him and
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: say here's what we can offer and let's talk in person. Hey, look,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: the league year starts this year. Anything is on the table.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: If he's a free agent. I just don't know if
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: it's a sweepstakes for Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Who's the better recruiter right now? Is it Brian Dable,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: is it Mike Tomlin.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I'd love to see this thing play out, and maybe
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Rogers can control those terms.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy better be good.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy better be ready, and JJ McCarthy better be
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: something that they can say that's why we moved on
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: from Sam Donald. For look, I understand it, it's his time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: He was a top ten draft pick, and it was
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: in the plans that year, probably late year one, year two,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: he'd get his opportunity.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: But then things happen.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: He gets injured in preseason and Sam Donald has this
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: incredible year where for the first seventeen weeks of the
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: season there may have been no more impressive quarterback considering
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: what we expected him to be. Donald three years, one
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: hundred million. Seattle, like Minnesota, could have afforded that. They
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: had that in their budget, they opted not to spend
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: it on that, and they opted to instead bringing guys
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: like Jonathan Allen and Will Fries and just.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Roll with the plan what it was all along.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Now, remember when Kracy drafted JJ McCarthy and they brought
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: in Sam Donald for one year, ten million. It was
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: because we have to pay everyone else, and we're gonna
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: be able to do this with a quarterback on a
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: rookie contract and we'll get a.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Good bridge veteran at quarterback. Well, what happened.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Darnold had this meteoric rise and was showed that he
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: could be that guy indoors doing it all and then
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: when he went outdoors, had great games in Chicago, great
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: games in Seattle when it mattered. I'm not sold on
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy because I haven't seen them. We sold in
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: one preseason game. Then we get that unfortunate news that
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: he got injured. So they're banking on this guy being
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: fully recovered and being able to compete, and I don't
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: know incomplete for me, We'll see TBA.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: What is the one thing that made you ecstatic and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: want to run through a wall when you were in
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the fifth grade.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Do you remember that first day of school when you
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: had the new sneakers and you were so excited to
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: show your friends I got new shoes. I also felt
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: this way when a team would have a new logo
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: and I would buy that shirt, like, oh my gosh,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the new Jersey Nets have changed their logo and we've
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: got Kendall Gill and John cala Parry let's go or
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: the new England Patriots. This draft drew Bledsoe and in
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: addition have these new cool jerseys that they're going to
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: be rolling out and they're selling it at the model's nearby.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: When they did this logo change and it went from
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Hugh Millin and all of a sudden we got parcels
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: and Bledsoe.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: It was the coolest deal.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And every kid, no matter where you grew up, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: bought that eleven Bledsoe Jersey because it was this new, different,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: cool logo. Now we talk about throwbacks, but back in
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the day in fifth grade when a team rolled out
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: a new Remember when the Phoenix Suns brought out that
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: new logo and those new uniforms and Barkley was there
• 17:26
