  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joy Taylor.

  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. Make sure you hit

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So it has finally happened. It's gone from theory to reality.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: One of the most anticipated trades of the twenty twenty
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: six NFL offseason, the Eagles have traded three time Pro
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Bowl wide receiver AJ Brown to the Patriots in exchange
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: for a twenty twenty eight first round pick and a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven fifth round pick. So both franchises waited
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: until June first for financial reasons. It's allowed Philly to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: save massively undead salary cap space, and it sends AJ
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Brown back to be with Mike Rabel. Howie Roseman executed
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the timeline perfectly.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: This has been talked about endlessly, not necessarily just to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, but just around AJ Brown in general being
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: traded and leaving. They didn't New England and draft any
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: wide receivers, let go of Stefon Diggs.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And yeah, this is this has finally come through.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown will win number where we'll wear number eleven.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The Eagles receive New England's twenty twenty eight first round pick,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven fifth round pick, plus by weighing until
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: June first, the Eagles can now split AJ Brown's forty
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: million dollars salary cap charge between twenty twenty six and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Seven, so A J.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Brown immediately becomes Drake May's number one wide receiver and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he'll be back with his former coach. With Brown not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in Philly, Devonte Smith takes over as veteran anchor and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: will be leading a new wide receiving group with Jalen
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Hurts and rookie Mackay lemon So. Since entering the league
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: as a second round pick from Mike Rabel in Tennessee
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, AJ Brown is fourth in THEL in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: both receiving yards and touchdown catches. Brown and Cincinnati Jamar
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Chase are the NFL's only two players with at least
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: one thousand receiving yards and seven plus touchdown catches in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: each of the last four seasons. We know that AJ
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Brown is an incredibly consistent and top level player in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the NFL. This is a trade that has been discussed endlessly.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: This move of AJ Brown out of Philadelphia has been
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: discussed endlessly. The locker room conversations. They've been asked about it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The drama and Philly between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that this has finally come to be. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: think this is an excellent move for both sides. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: think this clears the air in Philadelphia for a new future.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: AJ had an incredible run there, and you win a championship.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: That's enough for me. That is considered a success.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Howie is an executive that can be very ruthless, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is one that I trust a lot. He knows his
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: team and he is constantly tinkering with that lineup to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: make it a competitive organization.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And they are very impatient in Philadelphia.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And when you look at the Patriots, they're inheriting AJ's contract,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: which runs through the twenty twenty ninth season thirty two
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: million per season, seventh highest in the NFL among receivers.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great deal for both sides. Patriots
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: were just in the Super Bowl.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You I don't. I mean, I think Stefon Diggs is
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a great player, but this is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: A situation that feels a bit more consistent and stable
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the roster.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And I love it. I love it for both sides.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I love it for AJ, I love it for Rabel,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I love it for Philly. So I think all
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: around this was a really good move, and both of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: these teams are going to be competing for a championship
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: this year, so we no longer have to speculate about
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the locker room in Philadelphia, where
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: AJ will end up and who is going to be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the number one receiver for Jalen Hurts. In another blockbuster trade,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: this one actually very much caught me off guard, the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Rams have acquired defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Browns. All that talk about Miles not
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, his price tag was pretty afty. LA is
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: shipping out two time Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: very great player, very young, great player, twenty twenty seven
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: first round pick, a twenty twenty eight seconds and a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine third Now, Cleveland publicly insisted that Garrett
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was untouchable and apparently less Need and Sean McVay refused
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to stop calling and were in persistent pursuit until they
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: finally broke through with the Browns front office. This is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: historic because Miles Garrett is now the third defensive Player
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of the Year in history of Change Teams. This summer,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: after winning the award, Andrew Barry said, we recognize the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: unexpected nature of this trade, but it opens up great
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: opportunities for our franchise. We are excited to welcome Jared
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Verse into the organization, along with the cat flexibility.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: In draft pick re sources that will allow us to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: add to our budding core.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is the best defensive player in the league.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: The Rams did a move very similar to this when
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: they brought in Matthew Stafford in twenty twenty one, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that led them to winning a Super Bowl. It's an
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: all in move that the Rams are not afraid to do,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and because they are well funded, they are a very
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: stable organization with great people at the top, and they
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: are very very well coached. If you know me, you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: know I am a Sean McVay zelotz. I absolutely love
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this move for the La Rams. I actually like it
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for Cleveland as well, and I absolutely love it for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. I don't know if Jared Vers comes out
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on top on this because there's gonna be huge expectations
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: from him and he's not going to a well run organization,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but Miles Garrett, signed through twenty thirty via his four year,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty million million dollar extension, is going
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to an ex an organization where he will have the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: opportunity to not only shine on a level where he
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was never given in Cleveland because he was carrying that organization,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: but he will get to be coached and play alongside
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: excellent players, Like this is a team that's going to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be competing for a championship.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It's incredible.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so excited to be able to watch
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: him in a proper situation.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: It's what he deserves, is what the fans deserve.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And yeah, the La Rams are just third organization I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have so much respect for. I love this move and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited that he's going to be in LA.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And listen, I obviously live in La. I you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Rams fan, but this isn't This is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just it's incredible for the Rams organization, and it's credible
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for the NFL.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's going to be an amazing season for him.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So Wednesday night will have everyone's attention San Antonio for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Game one in San Antonio for Game one for the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals at Frost Arena eight thirty pm Eastern the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, and according
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to data from DraftKings sportsbook, a lot of people are
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in on the Knicks. The Knicks have attracted nearly half
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of all the money wagered on the NBA Finals winner
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this season, almost as much as every other team combined,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so the fans are betting on the Knicks now. The
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs opened as minus two twenty favorites, gravitated
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: down to minus two hundred, and the Knicks are sitting
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: at a plus one point eighty value. This is the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: ninth time in NBA history a team coming off a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: sweep against it is coming off of a sweep against
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a team that has survived a seven game grind. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the rested squad is five and three.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: In those finals matchups.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But obviously there's a lot of nuance in this matchup.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So like I said, the Spurs are minus two hundred
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: against the Knicks, who are plus one eight. The spread
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for Game one is Spurs minus four and a half
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: at Frostbank Center. The Finals MVP favorite is Victor Women
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yama at minus one eighty five. This is pretty historic
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: as far as a matchup goes. When it comes to betting.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: The preseason long shot for the Spurs, they were a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: preseason long shot sixty five to one to win the title,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So if they pull us off, they will be the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: biggest preseason underdogs to win an NBA championship in at
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: least forty seasons. And then you have the roller coaster Knicks.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They started at ten and one, went to nineteen and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: one in the regular season, and then created a thirty
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: five and one while scraping past the Hawks in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: first rounds before their eleven game winning streak. They are
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: all over the place, but have caught their footing. They're
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals now. Both teams are really exciting.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for this matchup and I'm so excited
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to see who and comes out on Wednesday night with
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the win and what the tone.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Of this matchup is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the fans are all in on it, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they are all in on New York, so we will
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: see how this pans out for them.
• 9:08
