  Chris Landry Segment two on a Monday. Chris, you know when you look
• 0:04
  and this is just I know, we got a long way to go,
• 0:06
  but you know, always reference Vegas because they seem to know a lot.
• 0:09
  It's always right. But when you look at way too early odds for next
• 0:13
  year, the forty nine Ers sit at the top at five to one,
• 0:17
  followed by the Chiefs seven to one, the Bills, the Bengals, the
• 0:20
  Ravens. But let's just stop right there with the forty nine Ers and the
• 0:23
  Chiefs, who obviously the Chiefs back to back Super Bowl wins. Now,
• 0:27
  the forty nine Ers, at least at face values, seem to have one
• 0:30
  of the best, if not the best organization in football. Do you see
• 0:34
  either one of these teams or both taking maybe a step back next year or
• 0:39
  do you expect them to be in the thick of things again next year?
• 0:44
  Well, Kansas City is because of Mahomes, and they're likely keep the poor
• 0:52
  together. I think the Niners have a really good roster. Now, let
• 0:57
  me remind folks that the key evaluate or in that front office is left to
• 1:03
  be the general manager of Washington Commanders. It's not John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan
• 1:07
  makes the football decisions. I think that not next year. I think the
• 1:11
  Niners will be fine. And by the way, Vegas is wrong a lot
• 1:14
  more than people think. They had the Chiefs as underdogs all three games that
• 1:19
  they won, and they just put a line together that they think the public's
• 1:23
  gonna go for. Look, I think that the Niners are in good position
• 1:29
  to be back. In contention, I have no interest in like who's gonna
• 1:34
  win that. We've got free agency, we've got the draft. We don't
• 1:38
  know what teams are gonna len. We may know what some of these teams
• 1:41
  look like, we don't know what some of the others may be able to
• 1:44
  do. That's gonna determine a lot. But both of these teams have a
• 1:49
  chance to be really good long term. I mean because of Mahomes and look,
• 1:55
  Andy Reich's coming back next year. But I don't know that Andy.
• 1:57
  Every year will be asking is Andy coming back? So think that finished you.
• 2:01
  I would say this not for next year, but the challenge for the
• 2:06
  Niners not next year, but the year after. They're gonna have to pay
• 2:10
  Rock Party and he's gonna deserve and people will not understand this. I'll just
• 2:15
  say it in front. The market dictates what they're gonna get paid. So
• 2:19
  once he's gonna get paid amongst the very elite quarterbacks when he gets his deal,
• 2:24
  whenever he gets it, it's gonna be a top five It's not top
• 2:28
  three quarterback in the league. Well that's think about and I'm not comparing the
• 2:34
  two players. Think about Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, and think about how
• 2:38
  you put it. Now, all of a sudden, all the talents that
• 2:40
  they have around Party, they have Party on a rookie contract. So once
• 2:46
  they have and what makes them really good is that they're well rounded, the
• 2:50
  personnel they've got, They've got a really good roster. Once they have to
• 2:53
  put all that money into Party, then it's they're gonna have to hit on
• 3:00
  all their draft picks in order to stay at the same level. Much like
• 3:04
  you know, the Seahawks had a run when Russell Wilson was on a rookie
• 3:07
  contract. Once at to pay him, it started to fall apart. That's
• 3:10
  what the Niners are facing. But not next year. But going forward the
• 3:15
  Chiefs, they're going to have a fighting chance as long as Mahomes is there.
• 3:19
  But Andy Reid is a big part of that. He's a big part
• 3:23
  of the ability to develop him and he'll benefit beyond Andy Reid with the development
• 3:29
  that he helped teach the young guy. But you know how good of a
• 3:32
  team are they're going to be around him. We see that tackles were not
• 3:37
  very good for the Chiefs. Got really one weapon most of the year in
• 3:40
  the passing game, and then two with Rice came along to help Kelsey and
• 3:46
  they still but they've got a great defense, had a great defense, Chris
• 3:50
  Jones. We'll see if he comes back. You put Mahomes back. They
• 3:53
  got a shot. I mean, I don't know how far they go,
• 3:55
  but they got a shot as long as that guy's did
