The Fumblerooski Podcast - Money to Burn -Ep 344 The Fumblerooski Podcast

Episode Date: March 12, 2025

In today's episode, we dive into the 1st few days of Free Agency. Big names in new places, trades over the weekend, Winners, Losers, and deals we liked and didn't like. Chris Costich and CJ Medeiros cover all of this and more!

Free agency has just started and good God it is off and running. A lot of big deals and we're here to talk about it here on this Wednesday edition of the Fumble Rootsky Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the stat sheet but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie.

Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. This is the Fumble Roosky podcast by Poweradee18 Radio in secret weapon consulting. I'm Chris Kostich with me, CJ Medeiros. It's gonna be a fun one. Already two days into NFL free agency. We've got a lot of big deals. A lot of them ended up happening right before free agency started in terms of contract extensions, trades, you name it. to talk about more of what actually happened since Monday. Obviously, we delayed the episode from yesterday, what was Tuesday, to today because of everything

that is coming out in terms of news stories. Like five minutes ago from when we just hit record, it was said Russell Wilson is scheduling a visit with the Browns. Evan Ingram just signed with the Broncos Stuff like that. So new news is coming in by the minute and we decided to delay it just so we could really get a grasp of free agency as a whole

More so just for the topics that we're gonna be talking about on hand first more so just for the topics that we're going to be talking about on hand. First. Oh, by the way, Chris, I'd like to point out that as of this recording is 4 15 p.m. Eastern Time here on Wednesday the 12th. That means all the contracts that were signed during legal tampering period are legal. You made it kids. Yeah. Well, signed they had and you know, technically supposed to hit paper just yet up until today. Yeah. Well, it's not well now they're legit. Yeah. They're legit now. For agency winners. Obviously, if you've listened to the show enough, we're avid Pats fans besides Justin Tucker, who was a Ravens fan. Ravens didn't really do a whole lot in free agency besides resigning.

Wow. His name is leaving me now. CJ, help me out. Ronnie Stanley. Ronnie Stanley. Yeah. That was the only move they really made bringing back one of the better tackles in the league. But in terms of free agency winners, of course, we're Pats fans. So a lot of what the Patriots did in our eyes made them a winner. Now, obviously you could say, well, they didn't get a receiver. The only receiver they ended up signing was Mac, uh, Mac Hollins. And to that I say, well, got them on a one year deal, two year deal, two year deal, pardon. And for what he did with Buffalo, he did a solid year last year. And it's not like we're asking him to be a wide receiver one in the

contract, obviously illustrates that. And the Patriots have already said that they're going to be looking for their wide receiver one either via the draft or via trade. So right now signs are kind of starting to point towards potentially Cooper Cup with him officially being released by the Rams a couple hours ago today. And so obviously, Pats fans are going to be looking towards that to potentially get your wide receiver one, Cooper Cup being 31 years old. So kind of going to be interesting to see what kind of contract you're willing to throw at him.

But in terms of what the Patriots ended up doing is they ended up signing Harold Landry outside linebacker for formerly for the Titans part of the variable regime as well. So again, some familiarity on defense, Robert Spillane, former linebacker for the Raiders Also a very good linebacker had a very good year last year Someone that's gonna also be very good in a variable defense Carlton Davis a veteran cornerback That's gonna be a great number two to Christian Gonzalez Milton Williams former defensive tackle for the Eagles, very good piece in that Super Bowl winning title that they just had. And Morgan Moses, who's going to be on the right bookend for the Patriots. So, like I said, you don't improve what you

needed in terms of wide receiver. But if you're a Pats fan, you, they already said what they're going to be looking for in terms of the receiver. It's not going to be via free agency. It's going to be via the draft or the trade or the trade market. But when you look at everything else, they're already making strides in bettering their own line and they completely, completely revamped the defense to the point where this could potentially be, I know we're still a long way out from the NFL season, but this is already seeming like this could potentially

be a top 10 defense for next season. CJ, what are your thoughts about the moves that the Patriots have made so far through the first two days of free agency? First, I do have some news. It wasn't official yet, but defensive tackle Javon Hargrave allegedly was going to sign with the Vikings. It's officially a done deal. With the Vikings? Yeah. Because apparently some people are still trying to prime away, but it's official

Javan Hargrave is a Viking is a two-year thirty million dollar deal We're gonna update that on the podcast whenever we get around to that because you know It's kind of doing things right now. We're doing things Yeah, I agree Chris but but As for New England, some people say, oh, well, they just beefed up their defense. They didn't need to do that. It wasn't a pressing need. If you as a Patriots fan looked at our defense last year and say that

beefing it up wasn't a need and If you really think these signings were unnecessary Then I have some beachfront property in Wyoming. I'd like to sell you and I'll leave it there But because I mean as a Pats fan I remember like RB twos and RB threes going over a hundred yards on them. Don't get wrong Gonzalez is good, but defenders quickly figuring out, hey, or I mean offense figuring out our defenders like, hey, let's just throw wherever Gonzalez isn't.

Watching Jonathan Jones get picked on cause he's a slot corner, God love him. And yeah. So there's that, Spillane boosting our linebacker, their linebacker core. Harold Landry, you know, actually a solid edge rusher, bringing some power to a team that desperately needs it as I'm sure not many outside of New England are aware, but it was pretty scary.

They couldn't generate any pressure. They either had the second fewest or the fewest amount of sacks So do with that what you will and look I want Cooper Cup as much as the next guy but and I know everyone's like oh well tackles didn't wanna Didn't want to you know, they couldn't get them. It's not they can't it's that they're getting turned down You know, they couldn't get them. It's not that they can't. It's that they're getting turned down. Same thing with wide receivers.

They took a big swing at Chris Godwin and he turned them down. Well, to be fair with Godwin, allegedly what I've been hearing is that it's not that he turned New England down or really anyone else down. It's that he just wanted to stay in Tampa. That's really what it came down to. He already had his mind made up. And the Patriots allegedly were going to take a swing at Ronnie Stanley. Apparently, you know, New England had an offer ready should he have hit the market, but that just didn't

materialize. He wanted to stay in Baltimore. Once again, that was because I know some other teams like the Chiefs and the commanders are sniffing around him too. But it wasn't anti New England or Washington or Kansas City. He just didn't wanna go there. I mean, he just didn't wanna leave Baltimore. And New England as a fan, I hope to get Cooper Cup. And look, I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know he said he's curious,

but New England, the team status aside, even when they were winning, they really couldn't lure in a whole lot of blue chip free agents. Every so often you'd get like Stephon Gilmore. That was pretty much it, the blue chip guy and like Corey Dillon, but they didn't really come because look, even when they were winning,

they just have too much working against them. For starters, they were a cold weather team and you know something we've talked about off-camera players now, they're more divas in the league, let's just say. The mental fortitude of NFL players, at least if you listen to any of the sports talking heads, which they didn't play, but some of, but even the ones that do are saying the mental fortitude is declining, They just don't have what it takes to play in a cold weather team. And even beyond that, the taxes are just awful.

They don't call it taxichusets for no reason. Even Bill Belichick went on Pat McAfee and said, yeah, the taxes cost me so many good free agents. And he like just dunked on their tax system to the point where some like state representatives said erm Actually, it's really good. It's like nah, dude your cost mess free agents change it Cooper Cup or even cam Robinson the left tackle I'm skeptical that they could do it

But I'm intrigued that they might and if there's one thing I want to say to any Patriots fans I've upset there's basically radio silence from them after a big splash to open I want to remind you one thing they're monitoring everything they're kicking the tires they're in the loop they're even looking at Will Fries and Javon Holland too but you got to remember like these people are autonomous beings they can choose whether or not they want to play there. Yeah. And there are some people, I was supposed to say there are some people that were saying, oh my God, we haven't heard anything from them. A certain fan who Chris and I know, who then

realized, okay, well, at least they're trying. It's like, yeah, it's what we were saying the whole time, but it's whatever. I actually wanted to throw this at you, not to attack you, because you're probably the biggest, one of the biggest things that you love to attack teams on when they don't do anything, get anything done during free agency, especially the Patriots, like for example, last season, is if they don't get anything done, like like all the reports that come out on there, and you're like, they're going to use this and say, Hey, at least we tried. And now here we are. What comes around goes around and you're like, well, hey, at least they're trying. You know, you have what's the switch up this time? Because there's no switch up, you're comparing apples and oranges.

Because here's the thing, I'm saying that teams can use, A, we tried as a crutch, right? However, that's just speculation. We actually know that they are. And these aren't half-hearted attempts. I'm just saying teams, and I'm gonna name drop the Cowboys, you know, for like the past three years they're going all in and they just don't do anything. The Cowboys are a team that do this okay we tried but with New England you keep hearing they were in the mix they were offering more so respectfully Chris I get I know you're not saying it's too attacked but it's kind of a bad faith point because you know that this is apples and oranges being compared

And I feel like you're just kind of clip farming, but it is what it is No, I I 100% was I just wanted to get you talking Oh, I know. I know I know but all jokes aside. I I do appreciate the question And look and I know a lot of teams once again cowboys even the patriots have done it before But it's not like a half-hearted effort. That's the thing. They're actually going out and trying. And there's a diff, you see, the thing is,

the fans gotta decide, right? It's not up for the team to go, hmm, well, we tried. No, no, no, no, no. The fans will tell you whether or not you've tried. Because a lot of times they can tell. And all the reports coming out like oh, they're monitoring this they're in the mix They were offering more money And if they offer more money and a player doesn't want to go there like you cannot fault them

Unless you're Dallas where they offer pennies on the dollar player says no and they just go Yeah, I'm Jerry Jones time to go eat my ice cream and watch Matlock or whatever. Yeah. And yellow clouds. I think that's a good way to wrap that one up. Our other free agency winner is the Chicago Bears. Mainly, they did a fantastic job of loading up their offensive line because that was job of loading up their offensive line because that was probably the biggest, besides coaching, besides coaching from last year, the offensive line was easily the second worst thing that the Bears had to deal with last year. What did they do?

Go get a guy like Joe Tooney. That's a great start. You've already improved 100 times what you had from last year just by getting Joe Tuni alone. Also throw in Jonah Jackson, Drew Dahlman. Dio... Dio... Yeah, that guy.

Throw in a 10-year vet like Grady Jarrett for the defensive line. That's huge. I mean, the Chicago Bears team all around is more of a younger team. Get throwing a guy like Grady Jarrett, just a veteran locker room presence. Bang. You got it. Grady Jarrett, Super Bowl participant as well he knows what it takes to get there and if this Chicago team that wants to get there

this is a good guy to have especially mention great Joe Tooney Joe Tooney another guy he has a shit ton of rings a shit ton of Super Bowl appearances talk about a guy that knows how to get there. That's another guy that you're going to want, especially on the offensive side of the football with a young quarterback like Caleb Williams. Got a very young receiver in Roma Dunze. DJ Moore's been around the league a little bit. It feels like the Bears are starting to kind of put it together a little bit. And this has been a pretty solid off season already

for them to start. Yeah, no, I agree. And by the way, we were talking about this before the show, but I'm gonna mention it if you saw me on my phone, this is why I'm posting it. Defense Attack on Malik Collins, recently released by the San Francisco 49ers, has signed a two year $20 million deal with the Cleveland Browns.

Browns nation. Let's crap. I'm sorry. Let's crap. Let's share. Because Russell Wilson's talking to the Browns and I think that's very funny. Yeah, that is. that's very funny. Yeah, that is. But your thoughts on the Bears and how they've been kind of rolling already in the last 72 hours. Well, they needed a line, they got a line, that's great. Because like you said, offensive line

was a really big weakness outside of coaching. And you told people like Larry Baram to take a hike. Tevin Jenkins is solid. Like I actually think he's good, but he basically said we're gonna go in another direction. So you rebuilt the interior, you traded for Joe Tooney, you grabbed Drew Dahlman and he grabbed Jonah Jackson.

That's good, good job. The only issue now that I have, at least when it comes to offense and pass protection for them Is a very simple one Caleb Williams holds on to the ball for too long. We've been over this at least 50 times hyperbole, but still you know before and I'm tired of debating it. It's very clear. He holds on to the ball almost five seconds of play which That's just not good. I mean there are some games like I said where he just straight-up average five seconds I think his real average like

Almost four but which is wild too because when you look at the statistics he his QBR was a lot better when he Got the ball out of his hands in under three seconds and with the quick action pass plays Exactly. Yeah Yeah, so overall if he can stop holding on to the ball for half an eternity Every time that he drops back then the offensive line is gonna do its job But what I don't want to see is him continuing to do what he do, because look, you could have an offensive line. You can go in a time machine and pick guys out through history.

You could have with an offensive line that Joe Thomas, Anthony Munoz, John Hannah, Zach Martin and Jim Otto. And even they couldn't block for a quarterback who's going to go back and hold the ball for like 10 seconds. So you got to work on that. And on top of that, I like the Grady Jarrett pick. Pass rush was a bit of a struggle, so it's nice to see.

And same as run defense, too. So you got your big space eater there in the middle. And oh, dang, but it was a great addition, too. I definitely, because, you know, the Super Bowl showed that games are won and lost in the trenches and that's what the Bears address Especially with the new coach, you know the offensive wizard himself They're Ben Johnson from the Detroit Lions Overall like you can't hate it. You really can't yeah all things looking good in Chicago And also got a honorable mention for a free

agency winner so far, the Minnesota Vikings. Vikings, they've lost some pieces. They have, but they've also been able to retain and grab other key pieces to help them stay at where they were last year, if not better. And one of the big things, of course, was resigning Aaron Jones. I think that was huge. Question is going to be at quarterback at this point, because at this, don't, you say you're going to go away from Sam Darnold? Now you're trying to lay a foundation for JJ McCarthy Basically, that's that's essentially the plan because you decide not to resign Daniel Jones and why would you of course?

So you're you're laying the foundation right now Yeah, and look if you don't want to sign Danny Derps, oh I get it and I have some friends They're Giants fans and believe me. No, I don't think anybody understands it better than they do Darnold you were just in this weird little quandary with him because on one side I Get he was good on the other side I'm sorry you gotta be wary of these journeyman career backup like aggressively mid quarterbacks that all

of a sudden spring to life many teams have been burned by it and the thing is it doesn't make sense for you as a team Vikings to bite on this when you drafted a kid in the first round and if he ends up being a bust so be it but I don't want to hear anybody say well you should have kept Donald and I'll tell you why because do you remember the last two games against the Lions and the Rams where he completely imploded holding on to the ball oftentimes for six seconds of play. Boneheaded picks seeing ghosts again. Yeah, no, that's that was the real Sam Darnold shining through and do I think that we find

Seattle? Yeah, I think he's better than he was but to say that he's going to put these numbers every year. I just think that is a really inaccurate and yeah, I'm right, dishonest assessment. Yeah. But, and honestly, so you got, you already got your darn old replacement

technically in McCarthy. That is good. Swell. Okay. You lost Cameron Bynum, not gonna lie to you. That does suck. But what you did do was that you rebuilt the defense. That's good.

You got Jonathan Allen, you got Jevon Hargrave, so your defensive line is already gonna be ferocious. Keep in mind, I want you to really bear in mind here that they already have Jonathan Grenard and Dallas Turner so let's not pretend that this is a defense full of scrubs and they also went out of their way to keep guys like Cameron Bynum as well and most of I mean not Cameron Bynum, Byron Murphy and guys like buying them that sucks But everyone else, you know, like Daniel Jones and Trent sure feel that you lost Like if they're replaceable. Yeah, you can replace them overall

You kept the guys that are most important once again outside buying them like that sucks. But what are you gonna do? And You You you beefed up your defensive line, which is really what you needed, because especially at the end of the year, you were getting gashed. Not to mention, you beefed up the offensive line as well, getting guys like Will Fries and Ryan Kelly.

And you got corner Isaiah Rogers from the Eagles. So overall, I think it's pretty good. Yeah. Oh, and he can't get any his own. That's really important. Yeah. That's very important, because next guy up at that point is Cam Akers. And he saw that he's the ORB-1.

Yeah. We're going to take a quick break when we come back. We're going to talk about our free agency losers. This is the Bumperooski Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. agency losers. This is the Fumbaruski Podcast. Welcome back to the Fumbaruski Podcast. Chris Costich, CJ Menderos. Well, CJ, we talked about the free agency winners. Now we're going to talk about some losers, some losers. And the two teams that just jumped out immediately are Eagles and the 49ers. Eagles, we'll start with them because I think the 49ers

pretty much just shot themselves in the freaking face and Yeah, we'll get to that in a moment. Eagles Kind of comes to no surprise you're gonna have to find some cap casualties, especially with this new contract that you signed with Saquon or this extension and especially with this new contract that you signed with Saquon or this extension and You also add into the fact that there's gonna be a lot more teams that are gonna be trying to offer a lot more money than What they're offering in Philly, I mean you're coming off of a Super Bowl win and this is kind of what you have to expect, right? Your free agents are going to be poached left and right. Everyone's going to be throwing the bag at these players so they don't stay on this Super Bowl winning team.

Try to knock the king off its crown or off its throne. Notable departures, Mill and Williams. Obviously he went to the Patriots, Josh Sweatt. He ended up going to the Cardinals area, slay to the Steelers. James, James Bradbury. I'm playing just free agent right now. And he's terrible anyway. Yeah.

And CJ Gardner Johnson, he was traded. I'm blanking on where right now. Texans. Texans. Thank you. So you lost some pieces, but I feel like obviously when we're talking about free agency losers, we're talking about the amount that you've lost. And obviously when we look at the Eagles,

they lost a good amount. They lost some pretty decent caliber here. But when you still look at what the Eagles have to offer in the roster, it feels like it isn't gonna hurt them too, too much But you also have the other suspicion of well, this could also just be the beginning as well Yeah, so here's the thing with the Eagles, okay they Don't have a lot of cap space.

That was a well established fact. And you knew that let's be real, guys like Williams and Sweatt were gonna go. Slay was a cap casualty, Gardner Johnson was a salary dump, James Bradberry was terrible. And as of this recording, I'm not entirely sure they've signed a free agent yet. And I wish I was came, but I'm not.

Yesterday I saw a meme where it's like, you know, it's one of those, did you sign a free agent yet? 31 teams. Yes, of course, over a hundred had been signed. Eagles, nah. Yeah. And don't get me wrong. They did do some good.

They did. For example, they got back Zach Bond. They did. That was great. Saquon was extended. But you lost Oren Burke's to the Bengals. You traded Kenny Pickett to the Browns. That was funny.

That was pretty much it. I mean, you got Dorian Thompson Robinson through trade. You got Kenyon Green through trade. Once again, CJ Gardner Johnson gone. Josh Swett, Milton Williams, Isaiah Rogers gone. And by the way, we don't know for sure, but Avante Maddox is probably gone. Mackay Bekden is probably gone. I mean, it sucks, but you know, whatever. know for sure but uh Avante

Maddox is probably gone. I mean, it sucks but you know whatever. I think Kenneth Gainwell signed somewhere too but he's not really super important. So, I don't really care but yeah also Brandon Graham probably going to retire

but the thing with Billy, don't be worried too much because half of your defense is on its rookie deal. You know, Jordan Davis Galen Carter uh The linebacker from georgia nicobe dean

Uh reid blake and ship quinien mitchell and cooper dejean Like they're all in their rookie deal So honestly it could be worse you had just because you you're losing talent granted, but you had the talent to lose so yeah But I'm not gonna say oh my god. They're gonna miss the playoffs next year Well, I mean you could if like your entire team that's hurt But the odds of that happening are one in a million, but I'm just saying you had the talent to lose But it doesn't make it hurt any less. Yeah Yeah, it's I mean it the Eagles set in terms of contract signings have been very, very

good in the last few years and the way that they've been handling these contract situations. And I can imagine that they're going to throw the bag at these rookies when the time is right and not let it get out of hand. It. Like, oh, you know, like certain teams in Ohio like to do. Like to put on their hands. They got a couple of great guys that they could extend before the market gets a little out of control. Certain- I should wait for that, I fear.

Black and orange stripes. Yeah. 49ers. Good God. Where to start here? So he lost Debo Samuel to a trade. You know what? Everyone, basically.

Yeah. Kyle Yuscheck, Dre Greenlauch, Avarious Ward, Aaron Banks, Talanoa, Hufanga, Elijah Mitchell, just to name a few. You're going to lose Brandon Ayyuk most likely. You're most likely going to end up trading them. And for what? To throw Brock Purdy the bag? That's basically what this is set up for.

And at this rate, if, so let's assume that you do lose Brandon Iyuk and pretty sure you, they lost your Juan Jennings too, right? I don't think so. I think he's still on the team. Is he? All right, then I guess that'll change up what I was about to say next but points still proves correct your top two wide receivers at that point is gonna be Now I gotta look up the depth chart because the names are here so And once again, Juwan Jennings, yeah, those are your top I mean if they trade a I ook yeah if they trade I ook

You also have to Marcus Robinson who isn't bad, but at that point it's just like what the hell are we doing here? You missed out on potentially getting Joey Bosa and Try to team up the Bosa brothers on the bookends of your D line that could have been pretty cool The boss of brothers on the book ends of your D line that could have been pretty cool Apparently they were going to but Buffalo was just able and frankly willing to pay him more More on a one-year deal. Yeah Niners moment they made their bed now. I got a lion and they hoarded all this talent And now the talent needs to be paid. Yeah, which is unfortunate because you know, you're coming like last year you're coming off of a super bowl loss and you

Lost nobody you didn't lose anyone and the only difference from the 23 season to the 24 season was that you couldn't Stay healthy See you couldn't stay healthy or you had guys just underperforming Underperforming to an overwhelming extent. Um, yeah Yeah, that's a guy like debo samuel who underperformed overwhelmingly Yeah, no, no, that's true. That's true. And you could say injury, you could say underperforming. I would definitely say it's, you know,

a little from column A, a little from column B, just not what you need. This was like, this was really more of a 2020 Niners kind of year, if you catch my drift. Yeah. But, ugh, God. And the thing is, it gets worse than what you see on paper. I wish I could tell you it gets better, Niners fans,

but oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just, you're with a capital S, you are screwed. Yeah. Because more than the names here, be it Cut, Trade, or Signing Somewhere Else, Yaloss, Devo Samuel, Leonard Floyd, Kyle Yuscheck, Javon Hargrave, Malik Collins, Drean Greenlaut, Travarious Ward,

Talon O'Hufanga, Aaron Banks, Elijah Mitchell, and Jalen Moore. Those were all like meaningful pieces to your team, and now they're all gone. And I know that you've got a lot of talent, but I saw a take today from Ryan Clark. Now don't get me wrong, Ryan Clark is just a lot of people don't like him, and I get why. He's extremely self-important. You can hear the wind whistling through his ears where his

brain should be whenever he talks, but he had a take that I don't hate. He said that the Niners should trade Christian McCaffrey and fully commit to a rebuild. And honestly the only thing I disagree with is that he's not going far enough. Gary McCaffrey get rid of Ayuk and it's gonna stop him maybe even get rid of Purdy because I don't think you can win a Super Bowl with him. He's just, I don't know, he had one of the greatest supporting casts in the league. And do you really want to be wrong if it turns out that he can't do anything with elite weapons and I don't want to bash Purdy too much because a lot of people do somewhat unfairly but I just don't think the future is going to get bright. You're hammering a lot of pieces and you're

I don't think I mean you can win the division just because your's kind of a joke. Yeah. But I don't know, I wouldn't hate the idea of a rebuild. I feel like when you look at all of the names that we have on this graphic here, of all the players that are departing, along with all the other names that we didn't even add on here, it would go to show that we're looking that we should be looking at a rebuild if you're San Francisco, right? Like, I feel like this is, has all the ingredients that screams rebuild. Organization and they'll never admit it. Yeah, you know what they're gonna do They're just gonna make sure the cover they are like the way they're managing things. They're gonna The cupboards gonna end up being bare and then it's like, okay

Then we're just gonna sign Brock Purdy and they're gonna be shocked when nothing happens. Yeah Let's get to our honorable mention for agency loser and And then we're going to take a quick break. Honorable mention the chargers. CJ, what have they done? What have they done? Nothing. Yeah. I think the one that scratches my head a little bit now,

did you resign Bozeman? Solid. And he's not that good. Yeah. But the one that kind of scratches my head a little bit is the letting Josh Palmer walk. Now granted, the bill, we're going to get to the deal itself in a little bit. But the deal that the bills ended up giving him is a little ridiculous at that point. So there's not really, there's no good reason to try to match the bill's offer for a wide receiver three.

Like I said, we're going to get to that in a little bit, but it's not a good look so far. And so you let Josh Palmer walk when you're already pretty thin at wide receiver, like your top guys, Ladwin Cochny. And yeah, you had a great rookie season, but what are we going to see in year two? You still have Quinton Johnston who shows flashes, but other than that is still a certified bum. And this is a Chargers team that we kept saying all year long was a consistent wide receiver one away from being a bona fide Super Bowl contender, especially with Jim Harbaugh, who is a great coach.

Do you want to give Justin Herbert the best opportunity you can? But now, the Chargers felt like this season they took five steps forward, but now we're here in free agency. It's like now we're stuck here, maybe even taking a couple steps back. They're stuck., maybe even taking a couple steps back. We're there stuck.

They are currently stuck. Yeah, and the only two free agents that they've signed out right there on another team last season were cornered Dante Jackson. Fair enough. Solid signing and running back, Naji Harris, who for what it's worth is probably the least efficient running back in the league and say, oh, but he's a thousand yard rusher. Yeah. Averaging sub four yards of carry. I literally just don't care. I don't want to hear it. Yeah. Like, maybe you could make the argument that it's an upgrade from Gus Edwards, who you also got really as well.

and upgrade from Gus Edwards who you also got really as well. You really can't. Yeah, that's what I mean. And you know, JK Dobbins is probably gone too. It's a years a thing. You've lost Nick Nieman, you've lost Puna Ford, you've lost Joey Bosa, Josh Palmer's gone, your guard, Jordan McFadden is gone. I think Morgan Fox might be gone. Don't quote me on that.

Christian Fulton is gone. Like you still haven't resigned to Sante Samuel Jr. But this is the part that really is a head scratcher. The Charters had the third most cap space in the league. And the only thing that I find remotely comparable to their situation is the Patriots from last year. CJ, sorry, we have breaking news right now. 4.52 PM, Demarcus Lawrence is now a Seahawk. You know, I used to be a Seahawk, but you know, it's whatever, no, I'm kidding. Nothing, it's a joke.

Demarcus Lawrence just signed with the Seahawks, three-year, $42 million max deal with $18 million guaranteed. I'm sorry. Nothing. It's a Mark Lawrence just signed with the Seahawks three or 42 million-dollar max deal with eighteen million dollars guaranteed. You know what? Good for him. Oh and just like that, I can hear the Cowboys fans

saying, oh my god, we suck. I'm I'm a Cowboys fan. I'm so upset with Jerry Jones. I lost 11 to three to pick up basketball game or something. I don't know, but whatever. That's another, Seahawks, we could even make a whole, we could even make a whole topic of like teams that I can't get a read on. Like, what are we doing here?

Like the Seahawks is a team that I can't get a read on right now because they signed Sam Darnold, but they also get rid of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Now they're going out and getting Demarcus Lawrence. Yeah, it's like the Seahawks and the Steelers I put in the same category of, I don't know what the fuck's going on right now. Like what, what, what, what should we be expecting from these two teams? Another seven, seven and 10, eight, nine, nine and eight season.

Like I, maybe better, maybe worse. I can't get a read on these teams. No, that they're just so weird. Like they're not going forward. They're not going back. They're just kind of treading water Yeah, like they're not gonna compete for a Super Bowl, but they're too good to tank Yeah, also, by the way Levi on Zurich a defense attack of the Lions who's actually really good was where I'm shocked It's this low

Signed a one-year 5.5 million dollar deal like you think you would have gotten more right? Yeah, maybe Staying on the Seahawks real quick Brown safety D Anthony Bell visiting the Seahawks this weekend Below that Special teamer that's what the rap ports report just said That's what the rap reports report just said We're gonna take a quick break when we come back right again to more of the Specifics in terms of the big names that made big moves or at least a few of them Big names and big moves in the last 72 hours. This is the bombarouski podcast

It may not have always showed it in the last 72 hours. This is the Fumbarooski Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back to the Fumbarooski Podcast, Powerade18 Radio and Secret Weapon Consulting, Chris Kostich, CJ Medeiros. First, we're going to talk about the Miles Garrett saga. Definitely one of the odder ones. And honestly, you could throw, you could kind of mix this whole thing with the DK Metcalf

thing together in terms of money talks. Yeah, that's probably the biggest thing that you could really take away from this whole thing, right? Money talks. Miles Garrett said he doesn't want to play in Cleveland anymore, and all it took was $100, whatever, million dollars in guaranteed money to keep him there. DK Metcalf doesn't want to play in cold weather. He'll accept the three-year deal from the Steelers though. Money talks and that is, yeah.

Yeah. Well, technically speaking, if we're temperature the average temperatures per month during the football season between Seattle and Pittsburgh Pittsburgh is significantly warmer by about 10 degrees So technically he is going to a warmer spot but oh well Yeah, so miles Garrett

After Jimmy haslem did declined a meeting with him, basically, it's just a matter of one side caving and the other side being like, well, problem solved. Let's just throw a bag at the other guy. Literally a deal that he couldn't refuse. And it's just one of those situations where you just say, all right, what's your price? And we'll sign it off. Miles Garrett gave him the price and there you go. Um, yeah.

CJ, your thoughts on this? Yikes. I'm gonna go ahead and say Yikes. I better not see a miles Garrett 30 for 30 where he's like my only regret, you know, when he's old and gray is that I never want to ring. I'm going to point back to this moment and say, my man, look what you did.

Yeah. You sold your soul for more money. And I don't know, maybe Jimmy Haslam and their GM, Barry, pulled out the greatest gas lighting, like a guilt trip this side of the Mississippi. But I just, I don't think a guilt We're not gonna win a ring not so long as Deshawn Weinstein is still their quarterback I just I don't know and that contract does kind of screw Cleveland. Yeah

Also, the only thing I'll give Cleveland a scotia credit for is that this totally screws with their division rival the Bengals who? Are trying to dump Trey Hendrickson? Yeah, that's that's kind of the other thing. Like that's like, obviously, I mentioned the Bengals sitting on their hands and just. Like failing to extend the players that they need to keep on their team before the market gets out of hand. And like the thing with Trey Hendrickson is that he already got an extension. From a couple of years ago, and we're at the point where it's a little Trey Hendrickson is that he already got an extension from a couple of years ago. And we're at the point where it's a little bit of Hendrickson being greedy and both being like, well, he is the technically the best pass rusher right now in the league. If we take out Miles Garrett, potentially, just statistics wise, Hendrickson had the most sacks this season. Just statistics wise, Hendrickson had the most sacks this season. So if we're just going based off sacks, then yeah, he deserves that money.

But like I said, now the market is going to get out of hands, and it's going to make it a little bit harder for the Bengals to find a potential suitor for Hendrickson to get shipped off to, who's willing to take on all this money potentially or even be a one-year rental if you want to take that risk as well. Yeah, I don't know. Once again, I do think a lot of this was just through with the us can just say, really, dude, we're we're all going to be lamenting that he never won and the rest of us can just say really dude

And we are we we're all going to point back to this moment or at least I will Yeah So contracts 40 mil per year 123 million in guaranteed money and Literally a week not even a week after Max Crosby was made the highest paid non QB in NFL history. Miles Garrett took that crown from him almost immediately, which what a fuck you to Max

Crosby. Let him have the moment for at least a week. Just let him have that. Just let him have that. Don't give him three days to be like, yeah, that's right. I'm the shit Now let's Hmm, let's only give him three days to To celebrate that the anti Max Crosby slander is strong good lord

Hey, I love Max Crosby. I'm not saying fuck Max Crosby. I'm Yeah, I know. I just meant for Miles Garrett. Yeah Fuck Max Crosby. I'm yeah, I know I just meant for Miles Garrett. Yeah More breaking news Cowboys are in the finishing stages of a trade for Titans linebacker Kenneth Murray jr. As teams are Swapping late-round picks Okay, just came in Other news that happened over the weekend Geno Smith got traded to the Raiders and that kind of goes hand in hand with our next topic, big names changing teams in free agency.

Of course, Geno Smith being before free agency really started, but it was Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, but you all, you just tangled these names together in terms of big trades that happened over the weekend before Free Agency started. Kind of weird that I just threw Geno Smith in as a big name, I guess. But in terms of- Starting with Mac, it's newsworthy. Yeah. And he's back with Pete Carroll as well.

And Pete Carroll, of course, being the guy that essentially saved Geno Smith's career. So gonna be interesting to see how that goes on in Vegas, especially now that Geno Smith is going to be throwing balls to Kobe Myers and Brock Bowers. So that'll, honestly, the Raiders just improved that much more from what they were dealing with last year in AOC and Gardner-Menshu. Yeah, I mean, they're still the Raiders. They're not a threat in their own division, but I mean, it's a nice thing, I mean, they're still the Raiders. They're not a threat in their own division, but I mean, it's, it's a nice thing, I guess.

The question is, well, for me, are they gonna extend them? No one knows, that's the fun. Yeah, that, that, yeah, that's the other thing I was gonna throw in there too. And that kind of goes with a point that I've kind of hammered down the last few weeks and the fact that the quarterback, the quarterback position is going to get hit with a huge reset. And looking at Geno Smith right now, actually, how old is he right now? Geno Smith is currently 34. So if the quarterback market or quarterback position is going to reset

the way I think it is, then Gino Smith really only has two years left to work with because we're not going to see many more quarterbacks play efficiently into their high thirties, slow forties or Tom Brady for as much as I love him, and he's like my favorite player to ever grace a football field. He essentially ruined the image of what people have as a quarterback in terms of being able to play well into your 40s, that type of thing. And we're seeing it now with like Kirk Cousins. He's barely in his, he's in his high 30s right now and he's, did not have a good season last year. So we're kind of seeing that right now. But other, other big names that are on a new team, Davante Adams, signing a two year $46 million deal with $26 million guaranteed. So you decide to go away from Cooper Cup. Okay. I think the problem with me is that when you make the decision like that, you're thinking of going younger in your receiving core. But instead, they go essentially the same age bracket and signed Devonte Adams more breaking news before we go further Cleo Herbert signing with the Colts on a one year deal Devonte Adams though he's 32, Cooper Cup

Cleo Herbert, now he hasn't done a whole lot lately so, but we appreciate the thing, I'm sorry yeah, yeah, I got you, Yeah. Yeah Well, I got you By the way for those who don't know who listen I posted like all the for agent news Tired. Yeah, so I heard CJ's CJ's kicking ass. That's all you can ask for but Devante Adams It's 32 Cooper cups 31. So I Guess I don't really understand why the Rams decided to go with Davante Adams over Cooper Cup because I feel like you're just getting the same player in both. Like, I feel like you're going to get great football from both Cooper Cup and Davante Adams,

I feel like you're going to get great football from both Cooper Cup and Devonte Adams, no matter what happens. Now, if Devonte Adams can perform the way that he did in Green Bay and do the same thing here in LA, I think that's going to be pretty sick. Matt Stafford throw on to both Devonte Adams and Pukka Nakua on paper. It sounds like some fun football to watch on Sundays, but what are we actually going to see?

Because obviously watching Cooper Cup Pukka Nakuwa and Matt Stafford sling around on offense every Sunday was awesome enough. But will this lead the same way? Maybe, maybe not very possible, but I don't know at bare minimum. It's just going to be fun to watch. Yeah. Yeah. At least you hope that it's going to be fun to watch that.

That's the big thing. You hope it doesn't. I'm not even a Rams fan and I'm going to be sad. Yeah. I would be sad. Yeah. I would be sad, too. I'm going to cry. But the big

probably the bigger thing really from free agency that happened, like literally as soon as it started on Monday was Chris Godwin. He was going to be the top guy in the free agency market up until Cooper Cup just getting released earlier today. Resigning with the Buccaneers three years, $66 million. And I guess that'll lead into what we're going to call deals that we like. Although he's not a Patriot in which a lot of Patriots fans to what we're gonna call deals that we like. Although he's not a patriot, in which a lot of Patriots fans were hoping

that we were gonna capitalize on Chris Godwin, and boy, the Patriots took a massive fucking swing at Chris Godwin. Reports came out shortly thereafter that Godwin took a massive, left a lot of money on the table, actually, to stay in Tampa Bay. And when you look at the deal here, I mean, you're getting Chris Godwin for 22 mil lot cheaper than what a lot of other teams were willing to pay. And on top of that, you keep a great receiving coral now.

You've because realistically, when you at the Bucks last year, you thought that they're gonna build off of their improbable division divisional rounds Playoff run that they were on in the 23 season 24 season Wasn't so much like that. It was because they couldn't stay healthy Now you got Chris Godwin back off of him tearing his ACL. Who knows what's going to happen here? It could be some good shit coming up next year. Before the ACL tear, Chris Godwin was on an absolute tear, no pun intended, but he was playing insane ball. If he can keep that up next year, holy shit, Baker Mayfield may throw for 5K. He's probably going to throw for over 40.

We could see a big Baker Mayfield year, along with, of course, you might as well just say that Mike Evans is going to get 1,000 yards. You're probably going to get 15 from Chris Godwin for all we know. Like this, this could be a massive year for this Bucks offense. Yeah the only thing that concerns me once again is the injury. Yeah. Yeah. Because sometimes they don't come back. I mean many people will say it always sucks but it's probably better to tear your ACL

than your Achilles, because that's like the death sentence, especially if you're around the age of 30 as an athlete. But yeah, so I think he'll be able to bounce back from that. So it's cool. So as for a deal that I personally like I Had to really think about it because there weren't too many deals or all my oh my god You know, this is awesome that I you know, like that I absolutely

You know just needed but uh You know, I you know, I like Josh Sweatt to the Cardinals on the four year 76 million dollar deal. Now, I was so tempted to go with Milton Williams but you know, I don't wanna be a homer but uh but yeah, so four year 76 million for Josh Sweatt, well deserved after last season. Peer Pass Rush Specialist Phil's one of the biggest needs for the Cardinals which is the fact that they couldn't generate pressure if the quarterback the most deserved after last season. Pia Pasro specialist fills one of the biggest needs

for the Cardinals which is the fact that they couldn't generate pressure if the quarterback was standing behind a bunch of traffic cones and pylons and not to mention he's going to be reuniting with forward defensive coordinator

Jonathan Gannon and it's just something where all sides win and when you consider the guys like Josh sweat and the market. Oh my god The market that you have to deal with after miles gear just got paid 40 mill a year. That's a steal So yeah, take a bow Cardinals that was a great contract. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah I mean the Cardinals like they were kind, they were in the mix last year as well. It's just they were too inconsistent for their own good. As you mentioned, CJ, you get a good pass rusher like Josh, Josh Sweat that could really swing things in a good way, especially for getting something that you need. or getting something that you need. One more deal that I'm gonna throw in there that I like, not necessarily in a logical sense,

because it's Sam Darnold getting signed to the Seahawks. I like the deal because Sam Darnold, last year, was basically a Proof of Year. And yeah, he didn't show up in the big games, but you still got 15 to 16 Very very good Sam Donald games. Mm-hmm It is market rate. Yeah, that's the thing. It's market rate though. That's the thing. Yeah and Only a hundred mil for a QB. That's not all guaranteed

Honestly, you could do a lot worse yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how he goes from a very offensive minded coach and Kevin O'Connell to defensive minded head coach and Mike McDonald Yeah, honestly, yeah, it's gonna be something about me. But you have JSN, you got Walker, you got Charbonne. I mean, you got no longer in sharp, healthy. Big if isn't it? But yeah, overall, but they agree. And there's one

other contract that I like Dre Greenlaw signing with the Broncos on a three-year, $35 million deal for a guy of Green Law's caliber. That's a great deal coming off an injury or not and he's already going to bolster a tough Broncos defense and there

is one thing though. Do you know why he hit the market other than you know, the obvious Niners and a cap crunch need to pay perty, etcetera, Yeah, I'll tell you why Do you know what the Niners offered him? Oh Not one-year prove-it deal because your injury. That's like really Niners really like is that the game you're gonna play? Yeah That's crazy

Yeah, so Broncos getting the last laugh. I think it was a great contract. Yeah. Deals that we don't like. So there's a few. Yeah, this the one in particular I'm going to throw out there. We touched on it like very, very briefly. Josh Palmer getting a three year. Three year, 36 million.

I'm trying to find it right now. And I lost it. Million dollar deal to Josh Palmer from Buffalo. So this is kind of what I was saying earlier with the chargers. When we were talking about them being an honorable mention for free agency loser, this is kind of what I'm was talking about in no way in hell. Are you trying to match the bills on a three year $36 million offer for Josh Palmer? If you probably knock off about 15 mil of that maybe. Yeah, because really, he's a solid

receiver. If you want to say that they're, the bills are paying for maybe a, uh, maybe a upgrade from Mac Hollins, maybe that that's if you want to make that argument that one or the other is better. But we're talking about realistically, high, like wide receiver too, but relic, but more of a wide receiver three. Like he was a wider, he was a wider seat, but three on the charters, even with Quinton Johnson being a bum, like he, he was a wider seat, but three with, with Kenan Allen, Mike Williams, their wide receiver three, McCockney and Johnson there, wide'd you receive a three? McCaulkin and Johnson there, why'd you receive a three?

So I don't really get where we're getting at here with handing Josh Palmer that much money. And like I said, like if you're the chargers, no way in hell are you trying to match that deal, which is why you kind of have to let them walk at that point. You're Josh Palmer. You're thinking you just fucking got the he to let him walk at that point. You're Josh Palmer you're thinking you just fucking got the heist of the century at this point I think. But CJ your thoughts I guess. I was so stunned because the bills need a wide receiver one. I am not sold on Keon Coleman. I'm certainly not sold on Curtis Samuel or,

and look, I know maybe they think that it's Khalil Shakir, but I think he's a high end number two. I mean, no defenses are gonna be like, ooh, shiver me timbers, it's Khalil Shakir. I'm so scared, time to put my head in the sand and hope he doesn't pillage too much. I mean look he's good but it's also Khalil Shakir. So I don't understand I guess. Like did you, unless you think that he's like gonna be the gem of this class, but I don't know. He's not gonna be wide receiver one because it's gonna be Shak Shakir your number two is probably Keon Coleman

So then he's number three Yeah, you're paying that for a three are you? And paying that for a three band that for three so but as for a contract that I don't like I'm gonna get some hate For this one. I don't care Dan Moore to Pittsburgh Dan Moore to Pittsburgh. Who? Yeah, Dan Moore, wait, Dan Moore from Pittsburgh, not to Pittsburgh, I meant from,

going to the Tennessee Titans. Dan Moore from Pittsburgh to the Titans, left tackle, got paid a four year, $82 million deal. And if I'm a Titans fan, do you know, got paid a name is Adam if you listen to the podcast uh or he was oh the Patriots you know our team is look they're looking at uh Dan Moore I'm like oh god no he's awful and look and I know tackles are expensive but that much for Dan Moore every Yenzer another name for Steelers fan across the nation Yenzer, another name for Steelers fan, across the nation is dancing on metal beams and chugging yingling because he's gone. Like if you're, if you've ever watched Star Wars, this is like the the damn Ewok celebration after Return of the Jedi. Oh no, they're blowing the horns, they're

lighting stuff on fire. They are celebrating that he's gone. In fact, I even moseyed on over on Instagram some Steelers fan pages and they all said, oh my God, somebody actually paid him. I was so worried it was gonna be us. Like, if you're the Titans, how do you look at that reaction? How people are thrilled that he's gone and say, yes, I'm so comfortable

giving him an $82 million deal. that he's gone and say, yes, I'm so comfortable giving him an 82 million dollar deal. Lord have mercy. That's just yeah. Talk about other bad deals. Uh the Giants. Um Derry Slayton getting the same contract that Saquon Barkley probably should have been getting three years, 36.

Or was going to get. Yeah. Was going to get. And instead it now goes to Darius Slayton. The Giants might as well just toss themselves off of Ellis Island at this point and just restart. They need to just start over it. And the meme that keeps getting sent around right now is that there is no

signed quarterback right now in their quarterback room. It's probably actually part of Tommy Vito. But you take Tommy Vito away and it's probably the best QB room that the Giants have had in like since Eli. And that's probably the best QB room that the Giants have had in like since Eli And that's the truth since Eli Manning and Gino Smith shared quarterback room Remember that when Yeah, I'm Manning got benched Ruining his Iron Man streak for Gino Smith People got so like bent out of shape over it's like alright show me the trophy you get for it. Smith. I remember that people got so like bent out of shape over it. Say, all right, show me the trophy you get for it.

Yeah, I mean, it like it's an NFL record or. Was going to be an NFL record or was an NFL is an NFL record. Something like that. Because I know he was going to be battling with Brett Favre for that. Not sure, but yeah. Anyways, that's the only other one that I really wanna throw out there. CJ, did you have one more that you wanted to toss in

as well or no? The thing is, it's not a bad deal. It's just bad. I mean, it's actually horrible when you give it context. Yeah, yeah. That's what I said, I'm on it and you said no. And you said, okay, well, here you go, Darius Slayton. Yeah.

Also, also, I wasn't really crazy about, what's his name there? Tershawn Wharton going to the Panthers. I think he's fine. We gotta realize he lives behind Chris Jones. He was a situational guy, and the Panthers gave him a three year, $54 million deal.

I mean, I knew he was good, but I feel like that's probably 20 million more than what he should be getting. Yeah Yeah, that's all I got That's all the schedule content then that we have other news. I feel like we we Because this happened on Sunday, so we haven't talked about this yet Josh Allen getting the bag a Fat fucking bag to say the least

on Sunday Got signed to a six-year extension and if you give me one moment I'm gonna have the rest of the details for you but basically six years over 600 mil what or is it like I think it's also I think it's like 300 mil guaranteed or something like that it's like or the contract it's no 250 million guarantee which I think is the largest guarantee in NFL history amazing what no Super Bowls uh o and two in the A AFC championship game and make-a-wish MVP will get you I I said the same damn thing

One MVP No Super Bowl appearances It was a pity MVP, you know and you get thrown 580 million dollars, but yeah the two hundred three hundred thirty million, two hundred fifty million guaranteed. Look. Yeah, he doesn't have a suitable appearance. Finally got that one MVP. And honestly, you could say more of the fact that maybe he doesn't have an MVP because

of who else is in the league, Lamar and Patrick Holmes, being the only other guys to get MVP and since 2022, because Rogers won it in 22 or 21, one of those two years or both of them actually now I think of it So a couple that fact in Then yeah, obviously Finally like Alan just getting his first MVP doesn't come as a big surprise Yeah, he doesn't have any suitable appearances because once again look who he's got to deal with in the AFC and look who his coach is a dipshit um Oh

All I could say is that yeah Do I believe he deserves his contract sure would I have paid him a little bit less? Yeah, sure. I think that You could make the argument that he shouldn't get this money. But especially from this past year, I feel like that you can't not give him this type of payday. If you overlook all of the external facts of, oh, no Superbowl appearances, only one MVP, this and that, yada, yada, yada. If you overlook that and just

Look at it in the way of the eye test. I guess and yeah, he deserves it He deserves it But it's not a good look but You could even say it's almost like throwing Dak Prescott That type of money when he got his extension and he doesn't have shit Yeah, there is one thing though, that I will give the bills credit for. It's better to jump on an extension sooner rather than later.

Yes. Because if you don't dictate the market, the market's going to dictate you. Yeah. What you do. And you don't wanna be a team like the Cowboys or the Bengals who just wait too long on their good free agents and then just have to pay them. Like that Micah Parsons deal probably just got 20 mil more expensive.

Same thing for Trey Hendrickson and Cincy about, like I said, two teams just sit there and let the market dictate them instead of being proactive. Like, if you're Buffalo, especially with quarterback, that's not the position to screw around with because you need an elite one to win games. Gone are the days where a team can elevate an eh guy. That guy can elevate an eh team. It's done the complete inverse. Yeah. For sure. Both can still be true,

but when you look at who's been winning the Super Bowls most recently, you can get by with probably the best quarterback in the league and not have a great team surrounding them. That is all the schedule content that we have here today. CJ, anything else that you wanted to throw out there before we end the show?

Nope. Good. I'm glad. Let's keep it that way. Me too. You got a problem with me? Several, but that's for off camera. I'm playing with you. I'm playing with you. Yeah, whatever pal.
