Adam Schefter explains the market & asking price for Jonathan Taylor · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. Denver is in my soul. It's always a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: part of me.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: This just now breaking in the NFL.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 presents America's number one sports reporter,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: our pro football insider.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Adam Schefter.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Johnson Auto Plaza.

  Speaker 4: Adam Schefter.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident, you
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: need Ramos Law.
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Adam Schefter joins us. Adam, how you doing, buddy?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: What's going on, gentlemen? Big day in Denver today, huh?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Huge. Big, big, big day.
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: So we'll talk about the game in a second, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: watching you on Sunday Countdown talking about the Jonathan Taylor
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: trade rumors. The Broncos are one of the teams involved
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: in this. I don't know if you can, like, handicap
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: or you think there's a favorite in this or whatever,
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: but what do you think the price tag is for
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be similar to what the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: 49ers traded to the Carolina Panthers for Christian McCaffrey, which
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: was a two, three, four, five, which three, four, five
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: really is first round draft capital. I think that a team,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: if a team were willing to offer a one and something,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: it would probably get it done. So I think the
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: price is going to be somewhere in that range. If
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you offered a two, three, four, five, I think you
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: get Jonathan Taylor.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I would guess.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Do you think the Colts would take back one of
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: the Bronco running backs in that mix?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Really, it's not like they are coveting one of these guys.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe Jonah Coleman is a young guy.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So I can't imagine that that's going to make a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: difference in getting that trade done big, but you never know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I guess my thought process is, Adam, and I explained
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: to the boys bidding war kind of scares me a
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: little bit, you know, but the, the value of him
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: because he is an elite back, it's going to be
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: up there. And I mean, if I see the teams
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: that you've mentioned, you know, Seattle and Minnesota and the Broncos,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: these teams want it now. I mean, Minnesota certainly does.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: They want, they want it now. And the time to
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: strike is now, is it not?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Well, You could say that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I think every year there's a team that feels like
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it's close. Last year, the Colts felt like they were close,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and they traded two ones for Sauce Gardner. How'd that
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: work out? A couple of years back, the Commanders were
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in a great spot. They traded a second-round draft pick
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for Marshawn Lattimore. They felt like that was their time
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to strike.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: These trades don't always work out. And I would be
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: of the mind, as great as Jonathan Taylor is, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: he's great, okay? I liked what I saw from Jonah
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Coleman yesterday. Like, I got no problem holding on to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: my picks and riding the young guy and leaning into J.K.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's fully healthy. R.G. Harvey eventually
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: comes back on short-term IR. I don't know. Would J.T.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: make a difference? I mean, he's great back. Great back. But,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like I said, I....
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I think they think they have something with Jonah Coleman.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: And before I gave up a lot of draft capital,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I think I'd want to see that a little bit.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Adam Schefter with us.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: All conversations with Adam are brought to you by Johnson
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Auto Plaza, the huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. Just, I guess, last
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: thing on this. How would you characterize the aggressiveness in
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: which the Broncos may be pursuing Jonathan Taylor?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Is it just feeling out or.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Again, I just think that there are a bunch of
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: teams that have checked in on him. It's hard to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: categorize that. And I think these things are fluid. Where yesterday,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the Colts looked terrible. The team looked like it didn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: want to play football. Do they now ramp up calls
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: on Jonathan Taylor? And a team like Denver plays well,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: wins the game. Does that temper any enthusiasm that Denver
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: would have had or not?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Because when does it increase it? I don't know. Like,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Minnesota loses. They step up effort. You've got to do
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: this with every team.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So, Josh Jacobs, we don't know what's going to happen there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Does Green Bay now step up and say, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we need a running back here?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: We've got to get this done.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The league changes week to week all the time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Well, nothing says you have to go get Jonathan Taylor.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: What are some of the other running backs that might
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: be viable and possible for the Broncos?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: The other name that I think would bear watching, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the head coach there said this morning they're not interested
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in trading him, but I'm skeptical, is Brees Hall with
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the Jets.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Braylon Allen's come on and played great. Like, they're not winning.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So you're not winning....
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: With Brees Hall on the roster, what does it matter?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: If you traded him and got back, I don't know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: what is that, a second-round draft pick for Brees Hall?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And by the way, you guys keep asking about running backs.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Does Denver need a running back that badly?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You tell me.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that they do because they're finding
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: a way to win. They're 6-2, and Adam, we were
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: talking about Bo Nix and his fourth-quarter abilities and second-half abilities,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: whatever it is. What's the scuttlebutt around your people when
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you watch a guy, and they weren't terrible in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: first half, but that third quarter, three and out, three
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and out, three and out, three and out. Then all
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, when it's on the line, this guy just,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: he comes to life. And you have two drives to
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: go on top and win the game. What's the scuttlebutt
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: around your peeps about how he just turns it on?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I still feel like that run
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in Arizona was a little bit of a turning point
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: for him. it looked like he got a little bit
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: more aggressive after that. And I thought it continued and
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: he didn't play great the first three quarters, but then
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: play great. You know, Vic, who was the old quarterback endeavor?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: He used to do that. Didn't play great. And then
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, he would dial it up. Like, Oh,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I remember that guy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: He's still around.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Like in the fourth quarter, he was unbelievable. He was like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: he was a different quarterback in the fourth quarter.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So, um, You know, there you go.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: The difference here, though, and we made an oath today,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: by the way, Adam, we made an oath, a pledge
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: that we would not say anything bad about the Broncos
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: offense anymore, but here we are. The difference between Elway
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: and Bowe is that at least Elway would show signs
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: of life earlier in the game. This offense in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: third quarter yesterday literally fell asleep. It went into slumber mode.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I don't know what to say, like, Again,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they're six and two. They're in first place. That's what
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I would say. And it's incremental steps.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I think each week the offense is showing a little
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: bit more and a little bit more and a little.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And you just hope that it will continue to get
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: moving in that direction. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But yeah, they got it done when
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it mattered yesterday. That's all that mattered.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Adam Schefter with us, as he is every single week. Adam,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have scored 59 points in two
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: weeks and gotten two wins with 50 yards passing combined
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: in those games. They won a football game in which
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: they didn't complete a forward pass yesterday. I guess, are
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: the Bucs now back and in the running for the
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: NFC South again?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson completed as many passes as the Tampa Bay
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Buccaneers yesterday. He played one play and injured his thumb
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and wound up on IR needing surgery. I'll say this,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: like they played in nasty rain conditions and wind, which was,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: by the way, the last time that an NFL team
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: won a game without completing a pass was 1974. Joe
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Ferguson against, of course, the New York Jets when he
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: played in 40 mile an hour winds and rain. The
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Buccaneers defense the last few weeks has been very impressive,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: very impressive. And They were soft early on, but they've
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: turned a corner, and that defense has gotten good and aggressive,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: and they're shutting down teams.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And when you play.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Defense the way that the Bucs are and you run
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the football the way they are, you've got a chance
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to win some games.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Adam Schefter with us. How about this, Adam?
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Scary situation in Detroit yesterday. Jack Campbell gets carted off.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Is there any update on his status this morning?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's thoughts are with Jack Campbell. The Lions,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: great Lions linebacker who went off yesterday. He spent overnight
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: in the hospital. He's still under examination. You hope for the.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Best for him. We'll see how that turns out. We
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten any.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Updates, and obviously there's a high level of concern there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Adam, you've been in every NFL stadium, so you would
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: be a good authority on this. Yesterday, we saw it again.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: The Broncos fans made a difference in that game. It
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: gets so darn loud. Even Mahomes mentioned how loud it is.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Where would you rate? a mile high compared to other stadia.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Is that the plural stadia? How would you compare this
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: stadium with others?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stadia, I think it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Is. To me, the loudest stadiums in the league, just
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: up top of my head, I think, yeah, I've been
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: to every NFL stadium, every one. I think the loudest
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: one I'm just kind of formulating this in my mind
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: right now. And again, you got to factor in if
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the team's playing well, right? Like let's just say team's
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: playing well, team's good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Sure. Team's good.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So like, because I can say like right now, like
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the New Orleans Superdome would be high up there, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the Saints are okay right now.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So it wouldn't be quite as loud.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Same with Cleveland.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: But off the top of my head, Stadiums right now
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: that I would say really loud. seattle might be number
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: one kansas city kansas city would be number two interchangeable
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: almost seattle i think seattle's the loudest i've never heard
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: anything like that um being there a few times minnesota
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: gets incredibly loud That horn.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: That damn horn that they constantly play.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: The Metrodome used to be unbelievable. And the new U.S.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Bank Stadium also is very loud, very loud. The Superdome
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: when the Saints are playing really well rocks. Philly and
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh are loud stadiums when their teams are playing well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Who am I missing?
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Well, I tell you what, Miami's not loud. I've been
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: to a game there. That thing's like half the people
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: are asleep. There are a lot of stadiums where you're like, what?
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Is there a game going on here?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: No, I know. Hey, Adam, we saw the Saints fired
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the run game coordinator after a tough showing in Paris
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: and whatnot. But I'm looking at some of these teams.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Is there any word on the street about coaches who
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: could be on the hot seat? And again, I know
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Jerry Jones just gave Brian Schottenheimer is full-on endorsement, but
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I'm like, wow, you're 3-5 and that division's getting away
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: from you. You're already, you know, 2-1⁄2 back or whatever
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: 3-1⁄2 back. Look, here's the deal.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: The league is going to fire 6, 7, 8, 9,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: up to 10 coaches every year. I think last year
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: was 10. So that means this year should be a
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: little bit of a down year. Probably get 6, 7
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: changes this year if I had to guess off the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: top of my head because it usually averages about 16
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: every two years.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Usually.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Um, and it's a case where the firing has just
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: come regularly. Uh, so you don't want in this league,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: you're going to be under scrutiny. Like, so it's a
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: week to week deal today. There's pressure in Dallas today
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: for a week. There pressures off in Washington next week.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Washington may lose Dallas may win pressure.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe back in one. It's just week to week.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: I had one more. We mentioned this, um, There are
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: so many things going on with the Broncos and the
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: future and win now. And everybody always goes back to, well,
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: you got to win now because you're going to have
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: to pay Bo. And my question to you is who
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: says you have to pay him 60 million? I mean,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: isn't that what negotiation is for? If you put them
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: on the open market, are their teams going to give
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: him 60 million? Why not just pick up the option
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: and let it play out?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that, Adam?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Well, Vic, this is his third season. They have him
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: for a fourth year. They have the fifth year option.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: They have a franchise tag. They have another franchise tag. Now,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: if you're a good player, it doesn't go like that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: But I will say, like, you know, there's a couple
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of schools of thought to this. You get out in
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: front of it and get the guy signed early. Sometimes
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: that's a great idea. But sometimes, like the Miami Dolphins,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: it gets you in trouble with Tua Tungabailoa, where they're
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: still paying for his.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Sins today, where they put in $ 15, 000.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Waiver claims this year for players when they have 14
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: rookies on the roster.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So you have 15 claim guys, 14 rookies. It's crazy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: To me, it's the kind of thing where if there's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a deal there to be had for both sides that
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: makes sense, you do it. If there's not, you can
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: wait a year. You can wait two years. You can
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: wait three years, right?
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, wasn't Kirk Cousins tagged like three years in a
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: row or something like that?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So it has to work for both sides. And I
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: don't think they have to do a deal with Bo
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: after this year.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They don't have to.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: It'd be great for everybody if you do it. But
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: nobody says they have to do it after this year.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: He's contract eligible for the first time. He can do
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: a deal. But it doesn't mean that they will do
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: a deal for the first time. I think that's still
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: being determined on a week-to-week basis right now.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Like, let's say they go win the Super Bowl this year.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I'll bet you that deal gets done this offseason. Okay?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And everybody's happy to do it. Let's say they don't
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs. I think it's a little bit of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a wait and see.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Like, that's what I'm saying. Week-to-week league. Every week, it's re-evaluated, re-assessed,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and you make your judgments on a week-to-week basis in
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: this league.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: It's Adam Schefter. Joins us every single week. Always appreciate
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the time, Adam. Thank you.
