0:07
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport, Mike Garafalo,
0:12
Speaker 1: Judy Battista, I am Tom Pelicero.
0:15
Speaker 2: We had a.
0:15
Speaker 1: Packed show even before the Trevor Lawrence news. We got
0:18
Speaker 1: Seahawks coach Mike McDonald with us. He'll break down the
0:21
Speaker 1: quarterback room, DK Metcalf, all that good stuff. We've also
0:25
Speaker 1: got this guy, his name's Tom Brady. Might be the
0:29
Speaker 1: greatest player that's ever lived, ever played in the NFL.
0:33
Speaker 1: Inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. But the biggest
0:35
Speaker 1: part of his week making his debut right here on
0:38
Speaker 1: the Insiders. But let's start out right now again with
0:42
Speaker 1: that breaking news in you had it first, Trevor Lawrence,
0:46
Speaker 1: a very very rich man, a.
0:51
Speaker 3: Very very rich man, and a huge deal for the
0:54
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence.
0:57
Speaker 4: Let's get through the money particulars first.
1:00
Speaker 3: This is a massive deal, as you mentioned, the new
1:02
Speaker 3: highest paid quarterback in the NFL, alongside Joe Burrow. Five years,
1:07
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy five million dollars.
1:10
Speaker 4: That is the deal that the Jaguars.
1:12
Speaker 3: In their former number one overall pick, Trevor Lawrence, agreed
1:15
Speaker 3: to fifty five million dollars per year, two hundred million
1:18
Speaker 3: dollars guaranteed, one hundred and forty two million dollars fully.
1:23
Speaker 3: This deal done by agent j Corey of MGC Sports.
1:27
Speaker 3: It's thirty seven point five million dollars just to sign
1:30
Speaker 3: his name. And look, Trevor Lawrence has done everything he
1:33
Speaker 3: can to prove himself not only being worth the number
1:36
Speaker 3: one overall selection, but being the franchise quarterback for the Jaguars.
1:41
Speaker 4: His payday was coming.
1:43
Speaker 3: The Jags just decided proactively, you know what, let's just
1:46
Speaker 3: do this now, so he gets the bag, he gets paid.
1:50
Speaker 3: He now is essentially set for life, and it has
1:52
Speaker 3: a massive domino effect on so many other big time quarterbacks.
1:57
Speaker 4: You're looking for similar paydays.
2:00
Speaker 5: Well, that's right, the mark is now set even higher. Right,
2:03
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence now matched Joe Burrow. And think of all
2:06
Speaker 5: of those quarterbacks who we know are sitting there waiting.
2:09
Speaker 5: Tua Tugo Violo has said it only a few days ago.
2:11
Speaker 5: The market is the market. Well, the market just took
2:14
Speaker 5: another jump for among others, people like Tua, people like
2:17
Speaker 5: Jordan Love Dak Prescott. Remember Jerry Jones said they wanted
2:21
Speaker 5: to wait for some more leaves to fall. Well, it's
2:24
Speaker 5: a blizzard of leaves now. For NFL quarterbacks, the money
2:28
Speaker 5: is only going up, up, up. It just means that
2:30
Speaker 5: the next few contracts we see are going to get
2:32
Speaker 5: closer and closer and closer to sixty million dollars, no
2:36
Speaker 5: end in sight. And I already see people reacting saying,
2:39
Speaker 5: is he really worth it? Remember you are worth what
2:42
Speaker 5: the market will bear.
2:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is big news because regular viewers at the
2:47
Speaker 6: program will remember we did a segment recently where we
2:49
Speaker 6: said who's going to get their long term deal? First,
2:52
Speaker 6: Tua or Trevor Lawrence. I went with Tua. Ian went
2:56
Speaker 6: with Trevor Lawrence. Unions, right, I need something to throw.
3:00
Speaker 6: I gotta I gotta crown.
3:01
Speaker 2: It's not mine. You're already breakable. Here, I've got I've
3:06
Speaker 2: got a tie. We don't wear those. We don't speak
3:10
Speaker 2: all right. But as for Tua, who I just mentioned,
3:14
Speaker 2: they're not there.
3:15
Speaker 6: If the Dolphins were there, if they had a deal
3:17
Speaker 6: on the table that would have matched Joe Burrow, I
3:19
Speaker 6: believe to his deal would have been done. But this
3:21
Speaker 6: is now to his chance to say, hey, look.
3:24
Speaker 2: At our output.
3:25
Speaker 6: The two of us, right, Why don't I deserve to
3:28
Speaker 6: get that at this point. And if the Dolphins are
3:31
Speaker 6: way below that, they've got to come up to get
3:33
Speaker 6: this deal done. Like you said, Judy, this is a
3:35
Speaker 6: rising tide that's gonna rise all boats, or raise all
3:39
Speaker 6: boats because of how these contracts are getting done. You
3:42
Speaker 6: do it now or you risk doing it later at
3:45
Speaker 6: a bigger number, and to it with all those weapons
3:48
Speaker 6: and everything he's got going on in Miami. Could just
3:50
Speaker 6: be another year for him if if they don't get
3:52
Speaker 6: something done before the season, another year for him to
3:54
Speaker 6: not only put up big numbers but also show his durability.
3:57
Speaker 6: We talked about how he's slimming down our camera. Wolf
4:00
Speaker 6: has been talking about that story in order to play better,
4:03
Speaker 6: to feel better, and also to last out there.
4:05
Speaker 2: So two is not upset by this number.
4:07
Speaker 1: I'm sure nine years ago you go back, Aaron Rodgers
4:12
Speaker 1: was still the highest paid quarterback, highest paid player in
4:14
Speaker 1: the NFL at twenty two million dollars per year. The
4:18
Speaker 1: aiming point is now one hundred and fifty percent beyond that.
4:22
Speaker 1: That's even greater growth than we've had in the salary cap.
4:25
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, you just touched on a couple of them
4:26
Speaker 1: here to a tunguea Bai Looa up for a new deal,
4:29
Speaker 1: Jordan Love up for a new deal, and Ian There
4:32
Speaker 1: are some fascinating names on the potential free agent market
4:35
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. The two guys in Pittsburgh both
4:38
Speaker 1: set to become free agents, and so is Dak Prescott, who,
4:42
Speaker 1: unlike most of the quarterbacks we even get close to
4:44
Speaker 1: the market, cannot effectively be franchise tagged. Where does this
4:49
Speaker 1: go now for Dallas? As Judy said, have enough leaves fallen?
4:53
Speaker 1: Or is Dak Prescott at this point in a nine
4:56
Speaker 1: month countdown to potentially be in the NFL's first sixty
4:59
Speaker 1: million dollar man potentially someplace else.
5:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is to be determined. And really the ball
5:06
Speaker 3: is in the Dallas Cowboys court. You know, we have
5:07
Speaker 3: talked of this. We talked about it at the league
5:10
Speaker 3: meeting in March. I think that was the league meeting
5:12
Speaker 3: anyway that the Cowboys that really made no moves toward
5:15
Speaker 3: an extension for Dak.
5:17
Speaker 4: That still is where it remains. Now.
5:19
Speaker 3: You can do a new deal before training kit, you
5:21
Speaker 3: can do a new deal before the season.
5:23
Speaker 4: There is still time.
5:25
Speaker 3: But you know, all of the leaves that our good
5:27
Speaker 3: friend Jane Blue with that leaf blower a couple of
5:30
Speaker 3: weeks ago. They are now falling for the Cowboys. The
5:32
Speaker 3: market is showing what it is. Judy mentioned it is
5:35
Speaker 3: it possible Dak Prescott gets sixty million dollars if Trevor
5:40
Speaker 3: Lawrence and Joe Burrow are getting fifty five and Dak
5:42
Speaker 3: has all the leverage on a huge number next year
5:44
Speaker 3: if they franchise, in which they can't, sixty million now
5:47
Speaker 3: becomes legitimately possible. Whether the Cowboys end up trying somehow,
5:52
Speaker 3: some way to do something for Dak, whether he just
5:54
Speaker 3: simply plays it out, crushes it, goes to free agent market,
5:58
Speaker 3: the number sixty as in six is no longer crazy.
6:02
Speaker 4: It's now pretty real.
6:07
Speaker 5: This is an awfully good position and an awfully good
6:10
Speaker 5: evening for Dak Prescott because he's got all the control
6:13
Speaker 5: right now. He can sit there and not do a
6:16
Speaker 5: deal with the Dallas Cowboys and wait and potentially just
6:20
Speaker 5: take himself to free agency where the money will blow
6:23
Speaker 5: up even more because.
6:24
Speaker 7: There will be multiple bidders for him.
6:27
Speaker 5: And now the Dallas Cowboys, you would think, have to
6:29
Speaker 5: really think about trying to put a deal together to
6:33
Speaker 5: keep him from going to free agency, to keep from
6:35
Speaker 5: getting into a bidding more. But certainly you have to
6:38
Speaker 5: think that as the other contracts slot in now again
6:42
Speaker 5: to Jordan Love, whoever goes next, that Dak Prescott will
6:46
Speaker 5: get very close. If he doesn't get to sixty million dollars,
6:49
Speaker 5: that is where the market is going, and we'll see
6:52
Speaker 5: who tops that number first.
6:55
Speaker 1: All right, guys, stand by, we're going to be back
6:57
Speaker 1: with you momentarily. Here though, let's get to our Brian Baldinger.
7:01
Speaker 1: Bring him into the conversation. As you look at a
7:03
Speaker 1: tweet from Trevor Lawrence's old Clemson teammate Isaiah Simmons, te
7:07
Speaker 1: law congrats brother, Yeah, to say the least, when he's
7:13
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, you would think that's a
7:15
Speaker 1: situation where the guy's gonna get paid eventually, and this
7:18
Speaker 1: is certainly a big payday. Baldy was out at Giants
7:21
Speaker 1: Midi camp earlier today shooting that guy Maleak Neighbors. You're
7:26
Speaker 1: seeing this is going to be a big piece. So
7:28
Speaker 1: what they're doing in New York, Baldy. As we move
7:32
Speaker 1: on from the Trevor Lawrence extension, of course, Daniel Jones
7:34
Speaker 1: was the guy we've got a big payday a year
7:36
Speaker 1: ago for a variety of reasons, including health, it did
7:39
Speaker 1: not work out.
7:40
Speaker 2: You saw him up close this week.
7:42
Speaker 1: How big of an impact can Elite Neighbors make on
7:45
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and that entire Giants team?
7:48
Speaker 8: Well, you know, Tom, scouting is basically the study of movement,
7:51
Speaker 8: and Elik Neighbors moves differently than any player we have
7:55
Speaker 8: seen as a Giant wide receiver since Odell came on board.
7:59
Speaker 8: I mean he is big, strong, with lightning quick reflexes,
8:04
Speaker 8: and I mean he did to take long maybe the
8:05
Speaker 8: second pass of the day, Daniel Jones to Melite Neighbors.
8:08
Speaker 8: They were in the end zone just in an early
8:10
Speaker 8: you see some of the freakish athletic ability. But behind
8:13
Speaker 8: him is Jalen Hyatt. They've got one Dale Robinson. When
8:16
Speaker 8: they line up those three receivers, if they can protect
8:19
Speaker 8: Daniel Jones this year, they've got three pretty good targets
8:22
Speaker 8: that can win on the outside. But there's no question
8:25
Speaker 8: just watching practice and it was I was out there
8:28
Speaker 8: on Wednesday, Tom.
8:29
Speaker 2: There was a pretty brisk pace. They were out there
8:31
Speaker 2: for about.
8:32
Speaker 8: An hour and fifteen minutes, but you could already see
8:35
Speaker 8: Mike Caffer, the offense coordinator, dialing up all kinds of plays,
8:39
Speaker 8: hit screens, quick passes, trying to get the ball into
8:42
Speaker 8: mileak neighbors hands because I think one of his strengths
8:46
Speaker 8: coming out of LSU was he was a monster after
8:48
Speaker 8: the catch, and so they're going to try and get
8:50
Speaker 8: him as much touches as they possibly can.
8:54
Speaker 1: Baldi, You've been putting some mileage on the car you
8:56
Speaker 1: get up to Baltimore as well.
8:57
Speaker 2: This week.
8:58
Speaker 1: Everybody's been saying Lamar anything, he's even skinnier, even leaner
9:02
Speaker 1: than he's been in the past.
9:03
Speaker 2: You took a look at him, what did you see?
9:06
Speaker 2: I didn't see.
9:07
Speaker 8: I saw a slim down Lamar and he was challenging
9:11
Speaker 8: the defense out there today. It's interesting because you get
9:14
Speaker 8: the MVP and then you get Derrick Henry, like you
9:18
Speaker 8: get Superman and the MVP in the backfield together, and
9:22
Speaker 8: you just start thinking, like, how are teams going to
9:25
Speaker 8: defend this because there's so much misdirection and all kinds
9:30
Speaker 8: of you know, three card Monte schemes that Todd Munkin runs,
9:35
Speaker 8: who has the ball, who doesn't have the ball, Which
9:37
Speaker 8: way are they going with? The revamped offensive line right now.
9:40
Speaker 8: I mean, it should be fun. But he did look
9:43
Speaker 8: much thinner, He looked quicker. He still throws the ball
9:47
Speaker 8: with laser accuracy.
9:50
Speaker 2: Had a good day.
9:50
Speaker 8: It was a big red zone day today, so they
9:52
Speaker 8: spent a lot of time with the low red zone
9:54
Speaker 8: from the twenty yard line in and I thought they
9:57
Speaker 8: got a lot.
9:57
Speaker 2: Of good work. They were out there for over two
9:59
Speaker 2: hours today.
10:00
Speaker 8: But it's hard not to notice Lamar and King Henry
10:04
Speaker 8: in the backfield together.
10:07
Speaker 2: Baldy, thank you very much.
10:08
Speaker 1: Gonna be back tomorrow breaking down some fits for the
10:11
Speaker 1: remaining free agents. Can't wait to do that. Thank you
10:13
Speaker 1: as always for being here elsewhere in the mini camp world.
10:17
Speaker 1: This week, the LA Chargers their first Mini camp under
10:20
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, who, as usual, had some positive things to
10:24
Speaker 1: say about his new quarterback.
10:26
Speaker 9: Selfishly, as a quarterback, I'd love to throw the ball
10:27
Speaker 9: every time, but if we if we throw it one
10:30
Speaker 9: time or we throw it one hundred times, as long
10:32
Speaker 9: as we're winning and finding a way to do that,
10:35
Speaker 9: it's good with me. They're gonna be fun to hand
10:37
Speaker 9: the ball off too. And kind of like I mentioned earlier,
10:39
Speaker 9: we don't have pads on so it's you can't really
10:41
Speaker 9: feel the impact of the run game right now, but
10:43
Speaker 9: you can feel the juice. You know they've got energy,
10:45
Speaker 9: they bring it and be able to hand the ball
10:47
Speaker 9: off to them and then go fight for a couple
10:49
Speaker 9: of yards.
10:49
Speaker 10: It'll be awesome to see.
10:51
Speaker 1: Our Steve Witch out there in La Steve. This is
10:54
Speaker 1: going to be one of the stories of the NFL,
10:56
Speaker 1: one of the stories the entire sports world. Jim Harbaugh
10:59
Speaker 1: in Justin Herbert has been through several different offenses already
11:04
Speaker 1: through the course of his career here, he's had a
11:05
Speaker 1: lot of different changes. What do you anticipate we're seeing
11:09
Speaker 1: from Justin Herbert in a Jim Harbaugh Greg Roman offense
11:13
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four.
11:14
Speaker 11: The back end of what you said is the point
11:16
Speaker 11: of exactly what's going on here, Tom, because with all
11:18
Speaker 11: the rave reviews that Justin Herbert has been receiving during
11:21
Speaker 11: Mini camp, let's not forget that tandem of Greg Rohman
11:25
Speaker 11: and Jim Harbaugh.
11:26
Speaker 2: Think about the forty nine ers, think about what.
11:28
Speaker 11: Greg Roman did with Baltimore, thinking what Harbad did in Michigan.
11:31
Speaker 11: They run the football, and Greg Roman said at practice
11:35
Speaker 11: on Wednesday, we know what the identity of our football
11:38
Speaker 11: team is going to be. And I asked him specifically
11:41
Speaker 11: off to the side, what that is. He said, aggressive
11:44
Speaker 11: and in your face. There are going to be a
11:47
Speaker 11: balanced offense, which means they're going to run the football,
11:51
Speaker 11: which is something that they have not done with the
11:53
Speaker 11: Chargers since Herbert has been there. Since he was drafted
11:55
Speaker 11: in twenty twenty, the Charges have ranked twenty eighth in rushing.
12:01
Speaker 2: The plan is to change that.
12:03
Speaker 10: Now.
12:03
Speaker 11: Can they do that with the old Baltimore Ravens running
12:05
Speaker 11: back tandem of Gus Edwards and JK. Dobbins joining Isaiah Spiller,
12:10
Speaker 11: who has been with the Chargers.
12:12
Speaker 4: We'll see.
12:13
Speaker 11: But Roman said that doesn't mean they're gonna take the
12:15
Speaker 11: ball out of off of Herbert's arm. They just hope
12:18
Speaker 11: to use the run game to set up the pass game.
12:21
Speaker 11: Remember they go out and they draft Joe alt they
12:23
Speaker 11: move him to right tackle.
12:24
Speaker 2: They feel they have.
12:24
Speaker 11: The huge type of offensive line now that can block
12:28
Speaker 11: for the run game and according to Greg Roman, get
12:32
Speaker 11: medieval when they have to.
12:35
Speaker 2: Steve. Thank you very much.
12:37
Speaker 1: I love that term underutilized in the NFL medieval type
12:41
Speaker 1: of play. We'll talk to you again soon. Let's say
12:44
Speaker 1: on the quarterback front. Throughout the course of this show,
12:47
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence paid. Can he be the next that guy?
12:51
Speaker 1: Now that's a long ways off, but it hasn't stopped
12:53
Speaker 1: some other quarterbacks about talking about going after Tom Brady's record.
12:57
Speaker 1: How does he feel about it? The goat will address
12:59
Speaker 1: that on our show in just a little bit. Coming
13:01
Speaker 1: up after this though, Geno Smith, new offense, a new
13:05
Speaker 1: coaching staff. How does he fare in a new scheme
13:09
Speaker 1: with a new head coach. We'll attach that head coach.
13:11
Speaker 1: It's Mike McDonald. Hey joins the show right after this.
13:14
Speaker 1: It's the inside.
13:25
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence gets paid.
13:28
Speaker 1: It is, according to our ian rapport, who first broke
13:31
Speaker 1: this news, a five year contract extension worth two hundred
13:35
Speaker 1: and seventy five million, including two hundred million dollars in
13:38
Speaker 1: guarantees one hundred and forty two million fully guaranteed at signing.
13:42
Speaker 1: That fifty five million dollar per year average means Trevor
13:46
Speaker 1: Lawrence now matches Joe Burrow as the highest paid player
13:51
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Another beautiful week for Mini camp on
13:54
Speaker 1: the shores of Lake Washington. Those beautiful throwback uniforms too.
13:59
Speaker 1: On the Seahawks quarterbacks Gino Smith, Sam Howell newly arrived
14:03
Speaker 1: PJ Walker as well. Now six weeks ahead for the
14:08
Speaker 1: entire team, including their new head coach Mike McDonald to
14:11
Speaker 1: refresh a little bit, which I'm guessing Mike hasn't had
14:14
Speaker 1: a whole lot of opportunities to do over the past
14:17
Speaker 1: five months. Happy to have Mike McDonald here with us
14:20
Speaker 1: right now. Are How are you doing here, Mike? This
14:22
Speaker 1: has been a long road from the playoff run with
14:24
Speaker 1: Baltimore to taking the job, to moving to going through
14:27
Speaker 1: the Springer.
14:28
Speaker 2: How are you holding up? And how are the twenty
14:29
Speaker 2: twenty four Seahawks looking?
14:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, Tom, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Man,
14:34
Speaker 12: it's been a walk in the park. I've had a
14:35
Speaker 12: lot of time to take a breather, and you know,
14:39
Speaker 12: we we ended in camp yesterday, so it's nice to
14:42
Speaker 12: have a sleep in a little bit, hanging out with
14:44
Speaker 12: the wife this morning. I had the pleasure of taking
14:47
Speaker 12: my dog out to the bathroom and feed him this morning,
14:49
Speaker 12: so that was a nice change.
14:50
Speaker 2: Up, getting to be a normal, normal human being. How
14:54
Speaker 2: about that?
14:54
Speaker 7: So like a team here?
14:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you told me back in March, we just sell
15:00
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks that even after you acquired Sam Howell in
15:02
Speaker 1: the trade, Gino Smith was your starter. Take me through
15:06
Speaker 1: how Gino has adapted through the course of this spring
15:09
Speaker 1: to a new offense with Ryan Grubb of course a
15:11
Speaker 1: lot of the same teammates there. And how does Sam
15:14
Speaker 1: Howell MPJ Walker for that matter, fit into the bigger
15:16
Speaker 1: picture of your team for twenty twenty four.
15:20
Speaker 12: Well, they've done a great job. And anytime you're entering
15:23
Speaker 12: new systems into the equation, especially an offense, new offensive coordinator,
15:28
Speaker 12: you try to have to you kind of kind of
15:29
Speaker 12: build all those fibers to develop those relationships, understand the systems,
15:34
Speaker 12: understand how we want to operate on a day to
15:37
Speaker 12: day basis.
15:38
Speaker 13: And then all the way going in just in and
15:39
Speaker 13: out of the huddle, and how we want.
15:41
Speaker 12: To communicate with one another, and then on top of that,
15:44
Speaker 12: you know, trying to play the most difficult position in sports.
15:47
Speaker 12: So it's a tall task, but it's a process, and
15:50
Speaker 12: I think we're excited about where we're at right now
15:52
Speaker 12: going into camp. But yeah, they're doing a great job.
15:56
Speaker 12: I mean Gino's you know, I've said before, he's a
15:58
Speaker 12: tip of the spirit for us offensively and I mean
16:02
Speaker 12: I've said this, but I mean he's such a such
16:04
Speaker 12: a hard worker man, it's hard hard not to fall
16:06
Speaker 12: in line behind him for the rest of the offense.
16:09
Speaker 13: And then and then with Sam and PJ, I mean,
16:11
Speaker 13: they're they're right there.
16:12
Speaker 10: You know.
16:12
Speaker 13: I think we're really excited about our room.
16:14
Speaker 12: A lot of a lot of experience, you know, in
16:16
Speaker 12: the in the second and third quarterback position, So we
16:19
Speaker 12: got a lot of confidence in those guys and I
16:21
Speaker 12: think we're off a pretty good platform right now to
16:24
Speaker 12: launch into training camp.
16:27
Speaker 1: Talking about Ryan Grubb, first of all, you had to
16:29
Speaker 1: pull off a houdiniac to get him. He goes from
16:31
Speaker 1: Washington to Alabama for like a week, and then somehow
16:35
Speaker 1: you get him back to the Pacific Northwest. We know
16:37
Speaker 1: what he's done at the college level and the numbers
16:40
Speaker 1: that the Huskies put up last year. In terms of
16:42
Speaker 1: what this looks like at the NFL level, what should
16:45
Speaker 1: we be expected.
16:47
Speaker 12: Well, I think it's the evolution of his system, and
16:50
Speaker 12: then you know, blending that with some other experiences we
16:53
Speaker 12: have on our staff.
16:54
Speaker 13: But you look at Ryan's.
16:55
Speaker 12: Track record, I just I loved how his his scheme
16:58
Speaker 12: along with Klan has evolved over the years and adapted to.
17:02
Speaker 13: The people that they've had.
17:03
Speaker 12: And I mean and it's not the same, it's not
17:06
Speaker 12: the same you know, plays that they've been running. It's
17:08
Speaker 12: been different based on the different programs they've been in
17:11
Speaker 12: and the systems that they need to be able to
17:12
Speaker 12: put their players a position to succeed. So that was
17:15
Speaker 12: one of the you know, the trademark things that was
17:18
Speaker 12: you know, compelling from my point of view. And then
17:20
Speaker 12: just his overall attitude and his ability to kind of
17:23
Speaker 12: adapt and you know, have kind of a growth mindset
17:27
Speaker 12: on how we want to build our systems and build
17:29
Speaker 12: around our players and especially our quarterback. So he's doing
17:32
Speaker 12: a great job, and I think our systems, you know,
17:34
Speaker 12: it's just it's just the beginnings. We're in baby steps
17:37
Speaker 12: mode right now. I think of where this thing can go.
17:39
Speaker 12: But it's exciting time.
17:43
Speaker 1: DK metcalf is a guy who obviously has had a
17:45
Speaker 1: lot of productivity. I'm sure he's aware of all the
17:48
Speaker 1: big money that other receivers are getting out there in
17:51
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm sure he wants to get the ball
17:53
Speaker 1: a lot in this offense. Just take me through how
17:55
Speaker 1: DK looks. First of all, I'm guessing big and extremely muscular,
17:58
Speaker 1: but also how he fits into the pick sure, what
18:00
Speaker 1: you want to be.
18:00
Speaker 2: As a team, Well, I can tell you this.
18:03
Speaker 12: We want to get DK the ball a lot too,
18:05
Speaker 12: So we share that that sentiment for sure. But it's
18:08
Speaker 12: it's it feels different now when when fourteen's out there,
18:11
Speaker 12: he is a big, imposing, fast, powerful receiver man and
18:16
Speaker 12: you know, really excited about it. And I think now
18:19
Speaker 12: we've we've talked about it really since you know, we
18:21
Speaker 12: got here in February. Plans for him and Tyler and
18:24
Speaker 12: Jackson and Noah and our backs and uh what what
18:28
Speaker 12: it kind of look like and how we can move
18:30
Speaker 12: guys around and make make DK, you know, a moving
18:33
Speaker 12: target for defenses where they you know, they have to
18:35
Speaker 12: account for him at all times, but it's gonna be
18:37
Speaker 12: hard to find him. And so now that you know,
18:39
Speaker 12: now we're here, we're all here in the same building
18:41
Speaker 12: and get in camp and you know, we got a
18:43
Speaker 12: good runway here going into this season to see how
18:45
Speaker 12: this thing's going to manifest itself.
18:47
Speaker 13: But uh, yeah, we want to get them the ball
18:49
Speaker 13: as much as possible.
18:50
Speaker 10: For sure.
18:52
Speaker 1: The defense obviously is your baby. You've got a big
18:55
Speaker 1: piece in the first round of the draft with Byron Murphy.
18:57
Speaker 1: How's he looked so far? And how is that side
18:59
Speaker 1: of the ball coming along through the springer?
19:03
Speaker 12: He looks again, we're in we're in underwear right now,
19:06
Speaker 12: you know. So it's it's tough to tell. There's I mean,
19:09
Speaker 12: you're looking at the explosiveness, explosiveness to the athlete, the
19:13
Speaker 12: mentality on a day to day basis. All that stuff
19:15
Speaker 12: is what we expected even more so. So really excited
19:18
Speaker 12: about Byron. But we'll see when the pads come on.
19:20
Speaker 12: But I mean that this is the reason why why
19:23
Speaker 12: we drafted him in those types of situations. And then
19:26
Speaker 12: just the depth that we have at D line. I mean,
19:28
Speaker 12: you know, guys can play in different spots. We're kind
19:30
Speaker 12: of you know, we're on record talking about that, but
19:33
Speaker 12: I think there's not as much pressure on like a
19:35
Speaker 12: first round rookie to come in and be the bell
19:38
Speaker 12: cow down in and down out where now, you know,
19:40
Speaker 12: maybe his reps might be a little bit more limited
19:42
Speaker 12: early where he can have a little bit more of
19:44
Speaker 12: a pack, more of a punch on a per play basis.
19:47
Speaker 13: So excited about Byron, but as.
19:49
Speaker 12: A defense as a whole, I think I think you
19:50
Speaker 12: just feel the confidence of the group growing on, you know,
19:53
Speaker 12: day to day, and that's what's most exciting for me.
19:56
Speaker 12: And we said, go into this whole process. We wanted
19:57
Speaker 12: to build a kind of a launch point from when
20:00
Speaker 12: came back in training camp and be confident in the
20:02
Speaker 12: things that we're doing. And I think the guys believe
20:04
Speaker 12: in when we're coaching, and it's just been fun to
20:06
Speaker 12: see them respond and and uh and make place out there.
20:10
Speaker 1: I hope you're gonna get to do more than just
20:12
Speaker 1: let the dog out, a little light up the fire,
20:14
Speaker 1: hydrants in the neighbor and you getting away here, you're
20:16
Speaker 1: doing something before camp.
20:18
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna take a few days uh
20:21
Speaker 12: to get to get away my wife and I.
20:22
Speaker 13: But uh, it's you know, I'm excited.
20:25
Speaker 12: People just say, hey, July fifth is the day in
20:28
Speaker 12: Seattle where you need to be here for the rest
20:29
Speaker 12: of this summer. So we're gonna take advantage of Seattle
20:32
Speaker 12: and and all the things asked to offer. We're gonna
20:34
Speaker 12: get outside and uh, we're really really excited about sticking
20:37
Speaker 12: around and kind of you know, exploring the city.
20:40
Speaker 13: So it'll be fun.
20:42
Speaker 1: Before you know it, man, I'll be out there and
20:43
Speaker 1: rent and seeing you in training camp. So enjoy this
20:46

22:13
Speaker 1: media as well. How's life treating you so far? Over here?
22:16
Speaker 15: On the good side, I'm not an NFL insider. How
22:20
Speaker 15: do I become an NFL insider?
22:23
Speaker 2: Well, you got to get a great question in the scoops.
22:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to drop out of your finance major
22:29
Speaker 1: after one econ class, and then twenty years later, through
22:31
Speaker 1: a lot of newspapers, radio station and things, you end
22:34
Speaker 1: up with the show on NFL network. You're here on
22:36
Speaker 1: behalf of Hurts Today. You have a partnership with them.
22:38
Speaker 1: Tell us about that before we get to everything else.
22:41
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've worked with them for about four years now.
22:43
Speaker 15: I've been a customer for about twenty four years now.
22:46
Speaker 15: I'm always on the move and I'm always choosing it Hurts,
22:48
Speaker 15: and I've been a part of their Let's Go campaign.
22:50
Speaker 15: There was the Let's bleep and go, which really can
22:53
Speaker 15: put that on the air. But we've had a great
22:55
Speaker 15: time with the campaign over the last four years. This
22:57
Speaker 15: one was so much about the customer experience, skipping a line,
23:02
Speaker 15: a fast transition from getting off the airplane into the lot,
23:06
Speaker 15: driving off a lot and getting your final infestation because
23:08
Speaker 15: we're all in a rush and we love fast, seamless
23:11
Speaker 15: travel and Hurts does that.
23:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I'm a big Hurts guy. President circle right here.
23:16
Speaker 6: Have you ever been in the President's circle there?
23:18
Speaker 2: Hot shot? What do you think I love that.
23:21
Speaker 10: Keep it up, baby, keep it up.
23:22
Speaker 15: You know, maybe you talk to our insiders and get
23:24
Speaker 15: me in the President's circle.
23:26
Speaker 2: That's exactly how it happens there.
23:28
Speaker 6: So you know when you come and you read from Hurt,
23:30
Speaker 6: I mean, you're right, you're past the counter, past all
23:32
Speaker 6: that stuff.
23:33
Speaker 2: You hop right in your cars at how it works
23:34
Speaker 2: for you? Are you getting paid for this?
23:35
Speaker 7: Two?
23:36
Speaker 2: Mike, geez, all right, let's kinda be just.
23:39
Speaker 10: A value consumer. This is what hurts does?
23:40
Speaker 15: They just delivered this experience and people feel like they
23:42
Speaker 15: have ownership because.
23:43
Speaker 10: That's what we all did. That's what we wanted the
23:45
Speaker 10: brands that we associate you with.
23:48
Speaker 1: All right, your induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame,
23:51
Speaker 1: Tom Brady day there in Foxborough, just tell me what
23:55
Speaker 1: this means to you, as somebody who gave two decades
23:58
Speaker 1: your life to that organization and gave them a lot back.
24:01
Speaker 2: What does this mean to you?
24:03
Speaker 10: They gave me a lot back.
24:04
Speaker 15: I mean, I was here for twenty years and they
24:07
Speaker 15: were just incredible moments. And I'm sitting here in Boston
24:10
Speaker 15: in a great hotel room overlooking the back Bay where
24:12
Speaker 15: I lived for ten of the twenty.
24:14
Speaker 10: Years, and my kids were born here.
24:17
Speaker 15: I have saw a bunch of teammates last night, got
24:20
Speaker 15: to celebrate, give them all hugs, tell them what they
24:22
Speaker 15: meant to me. And there'll be a lot more of
24:24
Speaker 15: that tonight. So I know RKK has got quite the
24:26
Speaker 15: celebration plan. It's just so great for all of us
24:29
Speaker 15: to be together and then we can share memories and
24:35
Speaker 15: you know, all these experiences with these guys that I
24:37
Speaker 15: played with and coaches that I played with and for,
24:40
Speaker 15: and this organization made me the person that I am
24:44
Speaker 15: today and shape me into the person I am today.
24:46
Speaker 10: And I'm so proud of what we accomplished.
24:48
Speaker 15: But I'm just really the relationships of that I that
24:52
Speaker 15: I've formed with these incredible men and incredible women mean
24:57
Speaker 15: the world to me.
24:58
Speaker 10: And I get a chance to see so many of
24:59
Speaker 10: those people.
24:59
Speaker 6: To I don't know if you know this, but they
25:02
Speaker 6: opened practice yesterday for their mini camp yesterday on Tom
25:05
Speaker 6: Brady Day with Jay Z's public service announcement, which was
25:09
Speaker 6: the song that they would play when you would come
25:11
Speaker 6: out and yell to the crowd Let's go, which then
25:14
Speaker 6: became a Hurtz campaign What's Up, Hurts, There's another one
25:16
Speaker 6: for you right there, So you know, the celebration of
25:20
Speaker 6: you throughout the day yesterday. When you see the imprint
25:24
Speaker 6: that you've had on the organization and continue to have,
25:27
Speaker 6: what kind of feelings does that inspire for you?
25:29
Speaker 15: I think hopefully we've all had an imprint and not
25:32
Speaker 15: you know, again, last night I'm with Brandy, Moss and
25:35
Speaker 15: West and Julian and Gronk and Matt Light and Logan
25:38
Speaker 15: and Willie and Tie and all these guys that we
25:43
Speaker 15: all we all showed what TeamWorks all about, and what
25:47
Speaker 15: selflessness is all about.
25:49
Speaker 10: We showed what.
25:51
Speaker 15: A winning, successful organization it's really about people. When you
25:54
Speaker 15: come together and you put the individual agendas aside, you say, hey,
25:59
Speaker 15: what can we do for you each other?
26:00
Speaker 10: How can we know?
26:01
Speaker 15: How can Mike Rabel play linebacker as grave as did
26:04
Speaker 15: and then come in a tight end and catch twelve touchdowns?
26:06
Speaker 15: How can Troy Brown be one of the greatest receivers
26:08
Speaker 15: in Patriot history and then go play defensive back? How
26:11
Speaker 15: can Julian Edelman be one of the great receivers? And
26:14
Speaker 15: if they shouldn't play defensive back, and how can guys
26:19
Speaker 15: take whatever role that they were given and embrace it
26:22
Speaker 15: and go out there and try to be a champion,
26:24
Speaker 15: and I played with the most incredible men, and I
26:27
Speaker 15: think what I looked around that room last night, those
26:31
Speaker 15: men meant the world to me. And there's no finer
26:33
Speaker 15: group of individuals that I've been around in my life.
26:35
Speaker 15: And I've seen a lot of people in my life
26:37
Speaker 15: than the guys that I played with. I loved them.
26:41
Speaker 15: We have such a deep respect for one another because
26:43
Speaker 15: we've seen each other go through a lot of difficult things,
26:46
Speaker 15: a lot of adversities that we faced and we overcame.
26:48
Speaker 15: And I'm just proud to be associated with all those men,
26:53
Speaker 15: all those women, an incredible organization. Ar Kaka was there,
26:57
Speaker 15: gave me the most beautiful ring to commemorate last night.
27:00
Speaker 10: And then tonight's going to be another really fun night.
27:02
Speaker 15: To be a part of this celebration of boxcro is
27:05
Speaker 15: going to be pretty exciting.
27:08
Speaker 1: They had a new quarterback there, and Drake Man, I
27:10
Speaker 1: know you've got some time around all these rookie quarterbacks
27:13
Speaker 1: in this class, including the number one pick, Caleb Williams.
27:15
Speaker 1: I was curious the moment I saw this time Caleb
27:18
Speaker 1: Williams on the screen on his phone has the background
27:21
Speaker 1: it says Super Bowls times eight as one of his goals.
27:25
Speaker 1: He wants to take you down in terms of the
27:27
Speaker 1: most Super Bowl rings ever.
27:29
Speaker 2: When you see.
27:30
Speaker 1: Something like that from a young quarterback, I know you again.
27:32
Speaker 1: You spend time with Caleb Williams, you ever pull him
27:34
Speaker 1: aside and just go you know how damn hard it
27:36
Speaker 1: is to win one of these things like stop thinking
27:38
Speaker 1: about eight or do you like the miror hootz Bay
27:40
Speaker 1: it takes to come right into the NFL and say,
27:42
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to become the greatest of
27:44
Speaker 1: all time.
27:46
Speaker 15: Well, I mean everyone's going to find different ways for motivation,
27:50
Speaker 15: and that's certainly way that Caleb can find it. A
27:53
Speaker 15: lot of people are going to find different motivations. I
27:56
Speaker 15: found them just with the ways that I did that
27:58
Speaker 15: were useful to me. I think that there's a lot
28:02
Speaker 15: that goes into winning one, and you've got to set
28:05
Speaker 15: your goals high. And I would never tell anyone they
28:07
Speaker 15: can't achieve anything, because if people have told me I
28:10
Speaker 15: couldn't achieve anything, you know, that would have been discouraging.
28:12
Speaker 15: And I don't want people to discourage young athletes one bit.
28:15
Speaker 10: So I think people.
28:16
Speaker 15: Should always reach for the stars, certainly young quarterbacks in
28:21
Speaker 15: the league. They've got a lot of opportunity, but their
28:23
Speaker 15: career is going to be made by what they choose
28:25
Speaker 15: to do and what the work they put in and
28:28
Speaker 15: the relationships they developed with their teammates and the organizations.
28:31
Speaker 10: They can impact.
28:31
Speaker 15: So they should have high goals, but at the same time,
28:35
Speaker 15: they're going to have to work hard to achieve them,
28:36
Speaker 15: and I really look forward to seeing that process unfold.
28:39
Speaker 10: That's really what where the hard part comes for sure.
28:42
Speaker 6: Cowboys Brown's Week one, you'll be in the booth for
28:45
Speaker 6: Fox alongside Kevin Burkhardt, my guy who is the one
28:48
Speaker 6: hundred and ninety ninth pick that became a seven time
28:52
Speaker 6: Super Bowl champion of announcers, you guys have a lot
28:55
Speaker 6: in common, But how have you been preparing for that
28:58
Speaker 6: and getting ready for your role as an analyst?
29:02
Speaker 15: Loving just loving the time preparing for it and trying
29:06
Speaker 15: to find a good routine to prepare for it as well.
29:08
Speaker 15: I've reached out to a lot of amazing people that
29:09
Speaker 15: have helped me, that have that have have listened to
29:13
Speaker 15: the questions I've asked, answered them thoughtfully. I kind of
29:17
Speaker 15: approach it how I approach everything, try to surround myself
29:19
Speaker 15: with the best people and learn as much as I can.
29:23
Speaker 15: And that's just the way that I did it in football.
29:26
Speaker 10: That's the way I'm doing broadcasting.
29:27
Speaker 15: I've got a lot of things that I've learned through playing
29:29
Speaker 15: football that are going to allow me to hopefully convey
29:32
Speaker 15: really unique things to the listeners every single week. But
29:36
Speaker 15: at the same time, there's gonna be a lot of
29:37
Speaker 15: growth that I'm going to have over a period of
29:39
Speaker 15: time too. So coming out of the box, I want
29:41
Speaker 15: to do well, but I also know that I'm not
29:43
Speaker 15: a finished product and I'm gonna make plenty of mistakes,
29:46
Speaker 15: but I'm gonna learn as I go.
29:49
Speaker 1: If Eddie Van Halen judged a guitar playing contest, like
29:52
Speaker 1: you'd probably see a few people who, Okay, that guy's
29:55
Speaker 1: really good. I can get into that.
29:57
Speaker 2: The average guy is probably like, man, these guys suck.
30:00
Speaker 1: Say it with Peyton Manning on the Manning Cast, where
30:01
Speaker 1: when a game is being mismanaged at the end, he's
30:04
Speaker 1: just going like, oh my god, like, what are you doing?
30:07
Speaker 1: How do you go about analyzing the game? Knowing you've
30:10
Speaker 1: got one standard that Tom Brady's held himself to the
30:13
Speaker 1: entire time, and the reality that ninety nine point nine
30:16
Speaker 1: percent of the guys are not going to get to
30:18
Speaker 1: that exact standard that you're talking about.
30:20
Speaker 15: That's a great it's a great point, and I'd say
30:22
Speaker 15: that's the point that I have to continue to develop
30:25
Speaker 15: and learn and understand because I do and lack a
30:27
Speaker 15: lot like pain. I had a very high expectation for
30:30
Speaker 15: how I think the game needs to be played and
30:33
Speaker 15: how it needs to be coached, how it needs to
30:35
Speaker 15: be officiated. I want to see the game grow. I
30:38
Speaker 15: want to see the game succeed. I want to see
30:40
Speaker 15: it better than ever. And how can I play a
30:42
Speaker 15: role in impacting that. I can give my own opinion
30:45
Speaker 15: and if people want to listen, great, and if they don't,
30:47
Speaker 15: that's okay. But I only have the best intentions for
30:51
Speaker 15: what I'm about to undertake, and I love the group
30:53
Speaker 15: of teammates that I'm undertaking it with.
30:57
Speaker 1: Just promise me you're going to give us those opinions.
30:59
Speaker 1: Cut it loops, Okay. The biggest mistake everybody makes they
31:01
Speaker 1: get in the booth, They're like, I don't want it.
31:03
Speaker 1: They do what you did for twenty plus years in
31:05
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is never criticize anybody.
31:07
Speaker 7: You gotta tee.
31:08
Speaker 4: You gotta go.
31:08
Speaker 2: Sometimes Tom's bad. Say it's bad, all.
31:11
Speaker 10: Right, I got you. Don't worry, baby, I loant it.
31:16
Speaker 2: Tom.
31:16
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for taking the time, man. Best of
31:18
Speaker 1: luck in the new role. Joy, I enjoy Cleveland Week one. Man,
31:22
Speaker 1: we'll all be watching.
31:23
Speaker 10: Thank you next year.
31:24
Speaker 15: You might say, Tom, tone it down, man, you're being
31:26
Speaker 15: a jerk out there and let these guys know it them.
31:29
Speaker 2: No, we want it is. This is how I become
31:34
Speaker 2: the goat of announcers.
31:35
Speaker 10: You got this, Thanks fellas. Great to be with you.
31:38
Speaker 2: Thanks Tom, Thank you. We're holding him to it.
31:43
Speaker 1: Week one Cowboys Browns want to see Tom Brady fully
31:46
Speaker 1: cut it loose?
31:47
Speaker 2: Four runs.
31:48
Speaker 1: Quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Bucks open up at home
31:50
Speaker 1: September eighth against the Commanders. How can Tampa's top draft
31:54
Speaker 1: pick help Baker. We'll discuss it next on the Incentives.
32:06
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Insiders. Hey, we had breaking news
32:08
Speaker 5: right before the show started. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence five
32:13
Speaker 5: year extension. Woo a whopping five year extension. Two hundred
32:16
Speaker 5: and seventy five million dollars. That's fifty five million dollars
32:20
Speaker 5: a year. Two hundred million guaranteed. A very good day
32:25
Speaker 5: for Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, and frankly, not a bad
32:29
Speaker 5: day for Graham Barton down at Tampa across the state.
32:33
Speaker 5: He signed his rookie deal. It's a little bit less
32:36
Speaker 5: than Trevor Lawrence. Four years, fourteen million dollars fully guaranteed
32:40
Speaker 5: he'll get there. Graham Barton walked off the practice field,
32:43
Speaker 5: signed his contract. Very nice day, and in between he
32:47
Speaker 5: got to talk. This is the best part of his day.
32:49
Speaker 5: I'm sure he got to talk to our Sarah Walsh
32:51
Speaker 5: and now I get to talk to Sarah Walsh about
32:54
Speaker 5: Graham Barton.
32:55
Speaker 7: You actually talked to him, and I'm.
32:57
Speaker 5: Curious how he is feeling about the offense he's entering.
33:00
Speaker 5: He might be the starting center by the time the
33:03
Speaker 5: season starts there.
33:04
Speaker 16: Well, first of all, Judy, I have a feeling that
33:07
Speaker 16: talking to me was not the highlight of his day.
33:09
Speaker 16: Although we did talk at air conditioning, So if you
33:12
Speaker 16: knew how small trading it was down in Tampa and
33:14
Speaker 16: we were having the conversation side, he might have been like, yeah,
33:16
Speaker 16: actually that works for me because we got pulled inside.
33:18
Speaker 16: But I talked to him about just this transition right
33:22
Speaker 16: to the NFL, and the first thing that you take
33:24
Speaker 16: away after a conversation with the Bucks first round center
33:28
Speaker 16: is just how wise beyond his years he already seems.
33:32
Speaker 1: Because he told me he makes it.
33:33
Speaker 16: A point not to get mad, not to get frustrated
33:36
Speaker 16: when he makes a mistake, because he said he knows
33:37
Speaker 16: that those are coming. So the thing that he would
33:40
Speaker 16: get frustrated and upset about is if he makes the
33:42
Speaker 16: same mistake twice. And he said, I'm a rookie, it's
33:45
Speaker 16: part of my job to be self aware. That's something
33:48
Speaker 16: you don't often hear guys say.
33:49
Speaker 7: Now.
33:50
Speaker 16: Todd Bowles talked about his transition today and said it's
33:53
Speaker 16: been a good baptism these last couple of months after
33:56
Speaker 16: the draft, getting acclimated to how Tampa is going to
33:59
Speaker 16: do things. Boles did say that this is one of
34:01
Speaker 16: the smarter draft classes he's had when it comes to
34:04
Speaker 16: picking up scheme. But again, this is the bigger picture.
34:06
Speaker 16: Barton told me that just because you're a smart NFL
34:10
Speaker 16: rookie doesn't make you a smart NFL player. And I said,
34:13
Speaker 16: what's the biggest difference right now for you? And he said,
34:15
Speaker 16: it's the little details. He said, in college, you know,
34:17
Speaker 16: you'd go to practice, then you'd go to class, and
34:19
Speaker 16: here you're going to football.
34:21
Speaker 4: Class after coards.
34:23
Speaker 16: And he said, the guys that he's playing around, they've
34:25
Speaker 16: been in football class now for years and years. One
34:28
Speaker 16: thing that helps him is this is a new offensive
34:30
Speaker 16: system for everyone on this Buccaneers team under new offensive
34:32
Speaker 16: coordinator Liam Cohone. So it's not like he's the new
34:35
Speaker 16: guy and you know, everyone else has been in the
34:38
Speaker 16: system for six years and Graham's trying to catch up.
34:40
Speaker 16: He said, no, because of that, and obviously veterans no
34:44
Speaker 16: lingo a little bit better. But he said, because of that,
34:45
Speaker 16: everyone is comfortable asking questions. The biggest thing he said, he'
34:49
Speaker 16: said the most important part of his job right now.
34:51
Speaker 16: He wants his teammates, but most especially Baker Mayfield, to
34:55
Speaker 16: trust him when they get to that line of scrimmage duty.
35:00
Speaker 5: I am sure we are going to be talking more
35:02
Speaker 5: about Graham Barton when training camp opens. I'm sure we're
35:05
Speaker 5: going to be talking a lot more about this box offense,
35:07
Speaker 5: and that means we get to talk to you more.
35:09
Speaker 5: Sarah Walsh, thanks for joining us tonight and when we
35:12
Speaker 5: return on The Insiders We're going to.
35:14
Speaker 7: Keep talking about rookies.
35:16
Speaker 5: We're going to talk about rookie quarterbacks, rookie wide receivers
35:21
Speaker 5: with our Michael f Florio. He's going to talk rookies
35:24
Speaker 5: for fantasy football. It is not too early to start
35:27
Speaker 5: thinking about your fantasy team. When we return on The Insiders.
35:40
Speaker 1: Number two overall pick Jaden Daniels having himself a spring
35:43
Speaker 1: there in Washington, though coach Dan Quinn not ready. Just
35:48
Speaker 1: you have to say the rookie's going to be the start.
35:52
Speaker 14: No great declarations other than like being true to who
35:55
Speaker 14: we are, you know, as competitors. There's no doubt that
35:57
Speaker 14: Jade's making unbelievable progress here and we'll have a really
36:01
Speaker 14: fun camp. But he's earned that opportunity to go compete.
36:04
Speaker 14: We wouldn't have given him those spaces, those times, those
36:07
Speaker 14: reps if he hadn't, But it was really clear that
36:10
Speaker 14: he's put in the work and he was ready to
36:12
Speaker 14: do that. So it was my intention for sure that
36:14
Speaker 14: he was able to do that.
36:15
Speaker 1: Welcoming in our Fantasy expert now Michael f Florio along
36:19
Speaker 1: with me, Tom Pelisera, and Ian Rappaport here on The Insiders,
36:22
Speaker 1: Michael f six of the top picks in the NFL
36:26
Speaker 1: at six of the top twelve picks in the NFL draft,
36:29
Speaker 1: all quarterbacks. Jaden Daniels one of those. From a fantasy perspective,
36:33
Speaker 1: who's the rookie that you'd be willing to hang your
36:36
Speaker 1: hat on.
36:37
Speaker 4: It's exactly Jayden Daniels.
36:39
Speaker 17: And look, he's a good passer who has good proven
36:42
Speaker 17: pass catchers around him, but his legs are what make
36:44
Speaker 17: him special for fantasy purposes. I think Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts,
36:48
Speaker 17: Lamar Jackson, Anthony Richardson, who each saw immediate fantasy success
36:53
Speaker 17: due to their rushing ability. Daniels his last two seasons
36:56
Speaker 17: in college over two thousand rushing yards and twenty one touchdowns.
37:00
Speaker 17: He is the next cheat code type fantasy quarterback. And
37:03
Speaker 17: he is my QB twelve in my early fantasy rankings.
37:08
Speaker 3: So for you, you know, the only thing that really
37:10
Speaker 3: matters is my fantasy team. And I'm going to keep
37:12
Speaker 3: a league, which means the draft every year always has
37:16
Speaker 3: the hot rookies.
37:16
Speaker 2: Is like the top picks.
37:18
Speaker 3: Look at Marvin Harrison Junior, I kind of wonder if
37:21
Speaker 3: he's going to be the top pick in my league, which.
37:24
Speaker 4: Maybe not So what do you what do you think the.
37:26
Speaker 3: Expectations for Marves and Harrison? Marvin Harrison Junior will be.
37:31
Speaker 17: I think he should be a wide receiver one, not
37:33
Speaker 17: just in leagues like yours ian, but in re draft
37:36
Speaker 17: leagues in general. My player comp for him coming into
37:39
Speaker 17: the NFL draft with a taller Devonte Adams. He is
37:42
Speaker 17: a field stretcher who I think should see huge red
37:45
Speaker 17: zone usage immediately, and that's how you put up fantasy
37:48
Speaker 17: points in chunks off you're a wide receiver and he's
37:50
Speaker 17: playing with a proven quarterback that has shown us he
37:52
Speaker 17: could sustain a high end fantasy wide receiver. De Hup
37:55
Speaker 17: was top five pretty much yearly, with Tyler so wide
37:58
Speaker 17: receiver eight in my early rankings right now.
38:02
Speaker 1: We heard Manti Austin Fort say during the draft to
38:05
Speaker 1: Marvin Earrison Junior, it's always been you, but there were
38:07
Speaker 1: real questions about some of those other wide receivers.
38:10
Speaker 2: They were stacked differently on people's boards.
38:12
Speaker 1: As you look at Roma Donsay in Chicago, Malink Neighbors
38:16
Speaker 1: with the Giants, what are your expectations for those two
38:18
Speaker 1: rookie receivers.
38:20
Speaker 17: Yeah, Neighbors was my wide receiver one coming into the
38:23
Speaker 17: NFL draft, but the landing spot wasn't as pretty, but
38:26
Speaker 17: he could do it all field stretcher, win after the catch,
38:29
Speaker 17: and I think he's going to be good for something
38:31
Speaker 17: like close.
38:32
Speaker 7: To ten targets per week.
38:33
Speaker 17: He could approach one hundred and thirty or something like
38:35
Speaker 17: that on the year. Quarterback play might make him a
38:38
Speaker 17: little inconsistent, but he's got top twenty upside and Roma Dunsay,
38:42
Speaker 17: I think he's a wide receiver four.
38:43
Speaker 7: But if either of those two.
38:45
Speaker 17: Target vacuums in front of him and Keenan Allen or
38:47
Speaker 17: DJ Moore were to miss time, this guy also brings
38:50
Speaker 17: top twenty ups I could finish some weeks as a
38:53
Speaker 17: top twelve fantasy wide receiver. So where he's going right
38:56
Speaker 17: now in drafts, I'd be taking shots on Roma Dunsay
38:59
Speaker 17: for sure.
39:02
Speaker 3: So obviously you're gonna tell us that the highly drafted,
39:05
Speaker 3: top flight.
39:05
Speaker 4: Rookie receivers is gonna be good. What about sleepers?
39:08
Speaker 3: And if you could tell me a sleeper receiver in
39:10
Speaker 3: a really low voice, show someone's watching this in a bar.
39:13
Speaker 3: They doesn't hear, they don't hear, but I hear it,
39:15
Speaker 3: that would be appreciated.
39:17
Speaker 2: Malachi Corley from the New York Jets.
39:20
Speaker 17: Look, he's known as the Yak King for a reason,
39:23
Speaker 17: and he has a skill set and I just love
39:25
Speaker 17: and when Aaron Rodgers coming off a torn achilles, I
39:28
Speaker 17: think the Jets are gonna have a lot of quick
39:29
Speaker 17: passes in their playbook and he's the type of guy
39:32
Speaker 17: that could take one of those short passes and turn
39:34
Speaker 17: it into a huge place. So I expect the Jets
39:36
Speaker 17: to generate a lot of touches for him. My bold
39:39
Speaker 17: prediction is I think he outproduces Mike Williams. And if
39:43
Speaker 17: you miss out on Corley, Jermaine Burton, the new Bengals
39:45
Speaker 17: wide receiver three, is another guy to go get because
39:49
Speaker 17: Joe Burrow went healthy has shown us he can sustain
39:51
Speaker 17: three wide receivers.
39:53
Speaker 1: In case you missed that, that was Malachi Corley. Is
39:57
Speaker 1: florio sleeper draft he kai Corley? That would be great, Florio,
40:03
Speaker 1: You're the best when be talking to you throughout this
40:06
Speaker 1: offseason here as we look ahead to Fantasy in twenty
40:09
Speaker 1: twenty four, speaking of rookies in the AFC East, how
40:13
Speaker 1: about Drake may on the field drown Mayo says there's
40:18
Speaker 1: no depth charts but I'll tell you this, the most
40:20
Speaker 1: impressive thing Drake May has done this spring wasn't even
40:23
Speaker 1: on the grass.
40:24
Speaker 2: We'll show you next and get to some news on
40:26
Speaker 2: the Insiders.
40:34
Speaker 1: Our top story tonight, Trevor Lawrence has gotten paid a

41:31
Speaker 1: cap number hadn't been able to get there, Kamara making

41:36
Speaker 2: The NFL also made a statement of some kind today,
41:39
Speaker 2: depending who.

41:44

Speaker 1: andy tampering policy with three players, including Kirk Cousins. Team
