Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
Starting point is 00:00:12 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
Starting point is 00:00:30 you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me, Joey P. Joe Pee, Zipia. And today, Jake Sealy and I are going to talk about some rumors looming around the NFL
Starting point is 00:00:44 landscape heading into Free Agency next week. And, of course, we'll be here on the channel. Make sure you subscribe to the channel covering everything that happens in Free Agency. And Jake, we've already had some interesting tags. We've already had some organizations getting ahead of Free Agency. But do you feel like it's still going to be? going to be a hot period of time for guys moving teams. If we're talking non-fantasy route, well, if you play an IDP, yay, or like potentially
Starting point is 00:01:09 need offensive line help, which matters for us. But yeah, you and I were talking about before the show between the tags, the rumor tags that could be coming and then all these people already working towards deals. Of course, that could change. But I feel like we're going to get to Monday that week and be like, well, three agent class went from about 50 people to 15. Like, that's just what it feels like right now. Yeah, Kyle Pitts already tagged.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Picking's early tag. We'll discuss some of those guys later in the show, too, see if there's any trade possibilities going on there. Before we get to some of the rumors floating around, there's one thing that's certain, and that's where giving away free stuff, fantasy football championship belt can be yours. All you have to do to win this trophy smack
Starting point is 00:01:44 fantasy football championship belt from trophy smack, the number one destination for epic fantasy football hardware. All you got to do is subscribe to the channel, drop your comments below, and that's it. That's all you got to do. Ring the bell to that goes ding, so you never miss a piece of content on the channel, and we can let you know if you're the winner
Starting point is 00:01:57 of the massive gold-plated fantasy, football championship built. All right, let's talk about the quarterbacks first. Obviously, Daniel Jones kind of is at the top of the list, too, coming off a bad injury now, and a lot of questions. There's rumors about the Vikings. Of course, the Colts won him back. But I guess at the end of the day, it's, you know, off of what, eight good games from
Starting point is 00:02:15 Daniel Jones before the first injury happened, before the season-ending injury happened. Did you really show you enough between that performance and the Giants career and that body of work to warrant a big-time quarterback contract that could be a $40 million? dollar a deal, a year deal. Yes. So there's two aspects of this that aren't usually exclusive. So on the one hand, no, Daniel Jones does not deserve $40 million. On the other hand, we have to understand what the NFL is and look at this.
Starting point is 00:02:44 We're going to be talking about today and I'm sure this entire offseason, people are talking about potentially trading for Andy Dalton. Like they are desperate for quarterbacks right now. And this is why. Like at some point, I feel like maybe over the next two or three years we might hit that breaking point where we reset the quarterback market. because these contracts are getting crazy out of hand. And I know the quarterback is the most important position, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And Daniel Jones is kind of Daniel Jones that we've always known. Daniel Jones really wasn't that much better. He was a little bit. Maybe Kevin O'Connell helped him when he was with the Vikings briefly. He was a little bit better with the Colts. But really what we saw is that when you give him weapons, but also offensive line protection and he has time to be comfortable, Daniel Jones is a better player.
Starting point is 00:03:25 A lot of quarterbacks in the NFL are better players with time in the pocket. If this is actually probably the biggest difference going from college to the NFL and succeeding in the NFL is being able to succeed when you don't have clean pockets constantly. So De Amniel Jones, 40 million? No. For us in fantasy, Dealing Jones back with the Colts? Cool. Thumbs up. Assuming that injury isn't in play in week one as the fact is like he's 100%.
Starting point is 00:03:47 He might not even be 100% until October, which is why I think we have them outside. Most everybody has him outside of the QB1 territory because of that risk. Like he has QB1 upside if we knew he was 100%. We knew he was with the cults, but it's the risk of that. And then, of course, yeah, that that, the 40 million is a sidebar. Like for us, fancy, we don't care. But in real life, yeah, no, there's no way I'm paying $40 million for dealing. No, look, way.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I don't deserve $40 million, but I would like $40 million. I'm just putting that out there. I'm sure. I'm going to pay me $4 million. I'll split my $40 with you because we've been friends for a long time. You could take 70%. I'm cool. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Done. Remember, he said it everybody. Jake Sealy said it. Okay. It's $12 million still. You think that's ridiculous. How about Malik Willis asking price of $30 million? The Steelers apparently have heard this price and they are shaking their heads.
Starting point is 00:04:38 The Arizona Cardinals apparently kicking the tires there, Malik Willis, too. So a lot going on there. Obviously, when you start to connect LaFloors, it makes a little bit of sense there. So in terms of rumors for Malik Willis, what have you hearing? And right now, what are you looking at in terms of, I would like if this happened and Malik Willis ended up here for fantasy purposes? So I think that Malik Willis will be much more comfortable in real life giving him $30 million than $40 to Daniel Jones. Because we've played this game before. There is no guarantee.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And Joe, I know we're not kind of really talking about today. But I mentioned on my podcast and I said in Dynasty, I'd float out Malik Willis in trade offers right now because if you have him, people are going crazy for him. Because they're going off a very small sample. And I'm not saying like this. This is coming from somebody, you remember this. This is coming from somebody that really liked Malik Willis and thought that he deserved a chance to sit, learn in the NFL, came from Liberty. he wasn't ready to be a starter from day one, that with his development,
Starting point is 00:05:31 he could be a start in the NFL, and we've seen flashes of it, but we've seen flashes from quarterbacks stepping in for the starters before, where a full season of teams designing their defensive schemes to come for you, a full season of the quarterback planned position, it doesn't always work.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I take the $30 million gamble because, you know what? If it doesn't, at least you tried it, and then, like, you could turn around in two or three years and move on from it. Daniel Jones feels more like you're hamstrung if you do it. And it's not just the $10 million difference, but it kind of feels like, well, we've already seen him play well for us.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So you're like, we've got to give him that leash again. And then we got to give him that leash again. And oh, look, you flashed again. Malik Will's bombs. You move on. Unfortunately, there's the contract. But the rumors of where he's going, like, actually, there's one that I thought was interesting yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And I know a lot of dominoes have to fall for this one. But they said somebody floated out the Arizona Cardinals. And I thought that would be hell of fun for him to be on the Cardinals with Marvin. Too, you're connecting the floors there and you're kind of, you know, throwing things out there a little bit. I don't have a. problem with that one and it would make him exciting and i think in dynasty leagues there's the upside of the rushing with malic willis that you have that you've seen a little bit but you are right there are
Starting point is 00:06:34 some times where you know guys who are backups all of a sudden become the backup du jour of a free agent club remember matt flynn back in the day with the seahawks right signed that huge deal right like the packers came from the packers five touchdown game yeah right and and it's so look i think malik willis has a brighter future than that flint in the NFL i'll tell you that much but at the same time it does give you pause a little bit and I think if the Steelers right now are in a spot where they lose out on Maliquelis, that brings us to Aaron Rogers. Can Aaron Rogers coexist with Mike McCarthy? There's been a lot of rumors that JJ McCarthy could be replaced by Aaron Rogers. Either way, there seems to be some sort of McCarthy drama in Aaron Rogers' future. If he decides that future
Starting point is 00:07:15 is in the NFL, do you think Aaron Rogers plays? And if so, where do you think the rumor mill is leading us towards? I think at this point, Aaron Rogers is just going to do the same thing he's been doing for the past couple of years. And yeah, he's going to play again. Mostly because what you talk about with the Steelers is I think that the Steelers are going to be one of, there's probably two or three teams. They're going to be left. They're going to be left being like, all right, now what do we do? Because Malik Willis doesn't go to them. You don't make a trade with somebody else. You're not drafting anybody in this draft class. And you're going to be like, uh-oh, now what? And Aaron Rogers isn't the worst. He's not the best. We all want him to go away from a real life perspective.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But the truth is the Mike McCarthy part of it helps. The biggest thing with Mike McCarthy is you and I and Erickson, I think was on that show, talked about it, and I said that Mike McCarthy loves three wide receivers. They have one. They have DK.K. Metcalfe, end of list right now. So if you're convincing Aaron Rogers to come back, I think that's why I bring this up. It's like you say Aaron Rogers is I think that because if they miss on the quarterbacks, they might be more aggressive to address the wide receiver room, especially that Arthur Smith isn't
Starting point is 00:08:12 there trying to roll out 14 tight ends, and that you see that brought in for Aaron Rogers to play one more year and, you know, maybe he gives more run at it. And it's mostly, like I said, I think it's just because what do we do? Like, I don't think they're trading for Kyler Murray. I can be wrong on that one. But, like, I just don't see the, the Steelers being the ones that are going to get Willis Murray or even Daniel Jones. And so the reunion almost kind of feels inevitable as much as we don't want to do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I don't like Kyler Murray in Pittsburgh. I don't think that's a good fit at all. No. He's got to go to, like, you know, another West Coast team to me or another team that's, you know, small market. Football is like, football is there. Yay, football. that is not, you know, the pressure. How is that? Yay, football.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Hooray. And, you know, like that kind of thing. Miami, like everybody's tying them to? Yeah, like Miami. Miami is a, look, Miami is a, you know, in the pantheon of Ennoho franchise is obviously very important over the years, but has been largely irrelevant, I would say, over the last 20, you know, like when's the last time we had a Dolphin's Super Bowl appearance in a long time? So I can tell you the one that would get me super excited about Kyle and Murray is if he goes to the bike.
Starting point is 00:09:20 gains you put him with Kevin O'Connell sign me out trickier but they're so nice up there that they would probably be oh well you know Kyler's just doing the best he can you know oh yeah you know he's a little guy you got to give him you know he's it's it's it's tough out there playing with those big fellas chipper yeah oh yeah sure you know all right let's a terrible accent so I apologize to all our friends up north sorry for everybody this all right let's talk it's like when Jake tries to do a New York accent I understand I'm sorry that's not true that's the one accent I can do. That's the only accent I can do. I can't do Italian. That's what you're thinking of. That's where you always go to and it's wretched. All right, we mentioned George Pickens at the top of the show.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Let's talk about George Pickens. I know he got franchise tag. Is there any chance you think that he gets traded off that franchise tag or they're just sticking with him? I think they're sticking with him mostly because if we're trying to, according to Jones, recoup and get some draft draft picks back. But you got, you know, you traded a third and a fifth and then you got back the seventh or whatever it was. So what is he going to ask for a second and a fourth coming off that season? We know this. Unfortunately, in the NFL, it's just muted when it comes to trading picks for wide receivers especially.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Look at AJ Brown's trades. So I just don't know he's going to get what he wants. And now we've already seen the Cowboys talking about trading back from one of their first rounders to recoup more. I think they have a lot of avenues where they don't need to do this. Like if they didn't have the two first rounders from the Parsons trade, I would say, yeah, maybe they will be a little bit more aggressive because they don't have as many picks overall. But George Pickens just feels like a nice fit of what they're being able to do.
Starting point is 00:10:53 That being said, would it shock me? No, I just wouldn't bet on it. If he is moved, the problem is that's the second part of it. Like, it's like fantasy. Like we always say like, oh, I want to trade, I want to sell high right now on blank. That's cool. You've got to find somebody who wants to buy that player. So where do you see a team that has the draft capital, so to speak, and is in a nice spot to bring in George Pickens? It's not the longest list in the world. especially when you start talking about teams like, okay, the Bengals. The Steelers could use another line. I was going to say the Steelers could.
Starting point is 00:11:24 That was the first thing that came to mind. The Bengals have a ton of cap space, but they don't need a George Pickens. Like the bears are flush. The Packers, they have all those options. So you just kind of look through these lists and it's like, where does he go? Like maybe the Falcons, maybe because they need somebody alongside Drake London. But it's just a short list. So I think he's just going to end up back with them, especially because they already tagged him.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.
Starting point is 00:11:58 We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the,
Starting point is 00:12:18 the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing,
Starting point is 00:12:28 a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
Starting point is 00:12:38 But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from
Starting point is 00:12:48 some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Speaking of tags, it looks like Bruce Hall inevitably will be tagged by the Jets. It seems like that's not going well,
Starting point is 00:13:23 which, yes, I know from Jake's disdain in his voice there, you can tell all the fantasy pain. And when you're an awful team, tie yourself to a running back. And I'll fix it. Look, man, they have no offense.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Like, like any hope of trying to entice some quarterback of note. I mean, is it just going to be like a Joe Flacco at this point? Like, because. Andy Dalton. I'd rather have Joe Flacco than Andy Dalton.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I think of him. I mean, Joe Black was a job Bring back Carson Wentz. You know what the answer is. Carson Wentz isn't bad a lot. No. You know what the answer is for all of these teams. The problem is, is all of these teams, it's like, do you, no, no, no, do you look at
Starting point is 00:14:00 him and do you say, do I want to contend and have a really explosive offense or do I want to just tank, I put that in quotes, tank this year? Because the answer is James Winston. That's the answer for all of these teams. Also, don't forget, Russell's a free agent, so somebody's good. Russell Wilson is going to end up with a starting job next year for about seven games again. I agree. And that also makes me sad.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Let's talk about Travis Atee, because I don't want to talk about Russell Wilson. Travis Aetian, there's been some odd rumors lately about the Seattle Seahawks being interested. Are we just moving from for Bruce Hall? What else is they're to say? If they franchise them, it's just it is what it is. We move on until they get a quarterback and we figure out what the hell that offense is going to be. I mean, it's a disaster. I feel bad for Breeze Hall.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I want to send him an edible arrangement because I feel he is depressed being there. He doesn't want to be there. Before the comments come, by the way, I know you have to trade for James Winston because he's on the roster for the Giants. I want to make that clear because it would be like, I have to trade for. I know he has to be traded for. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. You could sign Joe Flacco for nothing and get pretty much the same goal rate.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah, but what are you sending for James? A fourth. Probably. It's not like the Jets know what to do with those drafts anyway. Travis Atee. The chiefs have been a rumor team that I've seen recently, too. Any rumors swirling around for you that makes sense or you kind of like the idea of conceptually for Travis Ateon? I like the idea for ETN going to the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:15:18 But the biggest thing here is that does he get tagged? The Jaguars say, you know what? We have cap space galore. Like we weren't enamored with Bayshall Tutin, LeQuint Allen, you know, we took flyers on them. You know, this comes down to, what does Liam Cohen feel? If Liam Cohen is like, hey, we're going to be able to get something more out of them next year, or maybe they dip into it and say, like, we'll be able to get more out of them and go cheat with a JK Dobbins.
Starting point is 00:15:40 And they just don't want to spend at the running back position. I sell you smirk, but I'm saying like, We don't know what Cohen is thinking. I think Liam Cohen would be smart to do everything he can to bring Travis Aatian back. I said it on the shows before. That's what I think personally. Well, that's the thing. It's like Travis Aetian, we've seen the really good.
Starting point is 00:15:55 We've seen the really bad. And then we saw him rebound under Cohen. And Cohen kind of got like, it wasn't the exceptional real like, what was that seven game peak that we saw from ETN from two years ago. It wasn't that. But it's like 90% of that. And he got it over the full season. And that's the biggest thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And I think when he was bad, there was eight. injuries involved too. He wasn't 100% healthy. He was playing through stuff. So I think like I said, the best marriage is, you know, the two of those entities coming together and figuring it out. Here's what it comes down to. Fantasy, ETAN with the Jaguars, thumbs up, great value. Isn't going to get the respect deserved as an RB2 again because everybody's worried about tooting and the rest. EATN with the chiefs sell high because everybody's going to go bananas and be like, oh, top five. Let's go. There's your answers right there. I wonder what that would do is ADP, too. You know, just thinking about that in redraft leagues.
Starting point is 00:16:43 It's one thing in Diancy. Fricking through the roof. Yeah, I tend to agree with you. Let's talk about Alec Pierce, another guy who's values through the roof. There's been rumors about the Titans, rumors from the Raiders. I like that Raiders landing spot personally,
Starting point is 00:16:54 and I think it's time to be a little bit more aggressive. Give Fernando Mendoza a downfield guy. It doesn't exist in that offense. You have the running back. You have the intermediate guy in Brock Bowers. Give him the deep threat guy. And all of a sudden, I think Fernando Mendoza with a remade,
Starting point is 00:17:07 rebooted offensive line could hit the ground running potentially in his rookie year. What are your thoughts on the Alec, Pierce rumors that have been floating around recently. Yeah, if anybody didn't check that video that U.I. and Erickson did, we talked about this. Well, you should watch. It's great, everybody.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Actually, no, that was Tom, because I put Alibirson in the Raiders. Yeah, it was. And you love that one. And I would love to see him on the Raiders, by the way, with Kubiak and the fit and everything. Oh, by the way, what does Kubiak do? Schemes, why receivers open deep. I wonder who's good at doing that.
Starting point is 00:17:35 The unfortunate thing is, I was shocked by this. I was, I was shocked. I was shocked that the Colt said, you know what? we kind of want to start opening negotiations now to get him back because they have pitman, because they have downs, because they just drafted Warren. And it feels like almost a luxury to bring back Alec Pierce. Not because Alec Pierce, like, I don't want to take anything away from Pierce. It's just I don't know that the Colts need him as much as he could be needed on another team.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And to give him this much money is the biggest thing. So you can look at it twofold. It's a lot of money. But this is kind of where we are in the NFL. What comes to wide receivers, like 20 million almost feels like the starting point for our top 25. I put that in quotes wide receiver. But is he that?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Or is he kind of a great number two who just knows how to get open deep and the team's offense needs to be there for him, which of course the Colts can be, the Raiders can be. But what if he ends up somewhere else? The Colts? I would actually prefer him on the Raiders than the Colts because the Raiders, you could walk into 120 plus targets as the number one wide receiver alongside Brock Bowers. The Colts, he's going to be fighting with Pittman and Downs and Warren and then the backfield running with Jonathan Taylor.
Starting point is 00:18:39 So I'd rather him get out of there for our fantasy purposes. So this is another one. If he's back with the Colts, it might actually be a cell high because everybody would be like, oh, cool, look how good he did next year. Maybe he takes another step forward on the Raiders and be like, I would actually stock up even more. All right. Let's take a look at some names that we haven't mentioned yet, give you our take about some rumors there or the where it might make sense. Mike Evans, look, for me, it seems like Tampa Bay has said that, you know, that's time to part ways and move on.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And I think it's probably the best for everybody. Buffalo Bills need to learn how to win. Mike Evans has won a Super Bowl. I think he knows that. And if you're Mike Evans, you don't want to just float away here. You want to take one more crack at it. And the best place to do that is go hang out with Josh Allen who desperately needs a friend. And you saw Drake May get a mercenary wide receiver in Stefan Diggs and it helped him.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Since Stefan Diggs left Buffalo, they have not figured out how to plug that gap. And Mike Evans at least would be a stop gap. And maybe in the draft, you go take somebody else and you have them grow under the Mike Evans tree and you pass the torch in two years. I think that's a great idea. It's a great format to keep Josh Allen relevant because obviously a bitter taste in their mouth, the coach got fired, all these issues swirling around them. They promoted from within.
Starting point is 00:19:51 To me, I think that Buffalo is still very close to winning a championship potentially, but they desperately continue to need some help. And a veteran wide receiver like Mike Evans can I think bring that, not just to Josh Allen, but also to the rest of that wide receiver group, whoever it ends up being in 2026. So I want to see him there. I haven't seen too many rumors about it yet. but I'm trying to force the rumor here.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Jake, is there a rumor you'd like to force here potentially or one that you've heard that you like a lot we didn't talk about today? I haven't seen this one yet, so I guess it's forcing it. And I like the Mike Evans call. And the funny thing is, as you said that, I was thinking of a team that keeps going down
Starting point is 00:20:26 the old person road. And the team about to bring up is the fit that actually would be funny if Mike Evans went to because the commanders have a ton of money. The commanders are going to do something. If Debo Samuel out the door, And that's why I laughed, just because Mike Evans would actually fit what they've been doing recently. It's like, they keep this roster at 30 plus years old.
Starting point is 00:20:45 We appreciate it because we're old. But the fact is, I actually think Isaiah likely makes a ton of sense now. My original thought as referencing those other shows was Breece Hall. What if they're a player for Breece Hall? But with the tag situation, well, now the commanders have to pivot. Maybe they still go into the running back pool, which they need to because they only have Kroski Merritt and basically nobody behind them right now. But Isaiah likely is a really good fit for Jayden Daniels alongside Tara McLaur. and there's already talk at the combine.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I don't know if you saw the report from multiple agents and teams or reports. It's like, imagine Isaiah likely freed from the Ravens. It has the number one on a team somewhere. And if they look at the wide receiver pool, which again, George Pickens getting tagged and then impossibly no Alec Pierce, it dries up super fast. Now you're talking about Romeo Dobbs, which I actually think is a nice value, but and the rest. So they go like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Let's get the difference maker at tight end. Zach Ertz is coming off from a massive injury. Ben Sinat hasn't really done anything in his brief. time in the NFL. And you put Likely with Jane and Daniels and Terry McLaurin on that team, I would love for this to happen. And Isaiah likely, like, I'm not trying to be hot takey. I'm just trying to say this. Kyle Pitts was tagged. If Kyle Pitts, by the way, Stefansky, all those screens to Fanon, if we're pulling in the A dot for Kyle Pitts, I actually think he's going to be inflated next year and I would be off Kyle Pitts. Isaiah likely on the commanders leaps
Starting point is 00:22:02 Kyle's Pitts and would be in the top six or seven. Well, in our early takes on free agency that Kyle Pitts to Washington was what I wanted desperately to happen. So I'm fine if the, you know, you can't get, you know, the A, your pivot to B. And if it's Isaiah likely, it's the same principles. And I'm with you. Aren't you petting it up? Wouldn't you say that? Wouldn't you, wouldn't you rather have likely than Pits on the commanders than likely, uh, than Pits on the Falcons? Yes, but I would also rather have Pits than likely if I'm the Washington commanders as well. But if I have to do the Washington commanders end up with Isaiah likely, I think that's okay. I think that's a really good. I think that's a really good fit for jaden Daniels and i and i think it would also help jane daniels take a little pressure off
Starting point is 00:22:41 too because he really hasn't had that outlet wide receiver too where he could just kind of dump balls off too with pressure and that takes a little pressure off him coming off of an injury playing 2025 season too i'd like to see that i think that's i think that's good practice get him a running game again with all this money you got get him a quick dump off wide receiver or tight end why you put money in quotes because they got all this money but like you use it use it to help jaden daniels like use it in the proper way. You know, you can have a lot of cap space and still not know what to do with it. Just asked Bill Belichick years ago.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Remember that year we had all that cap space? And he signed like four tight ends and everyone's going, what the hell are we doing here? Amazing coach. Terrible GM. Terrible GM. Oh, there you go. So that'll do it for us again. If you've got some comments, toss them in there.
