How many quarterbacks go in the top 10 of the NFL draft? What is quarterback inflation? And spin the roulette wheel for free agency in the NFL. Where do we find homes for Russell Wilson for Justin Fields? That's today on the Wilcane show. It's the Will Kane Show live every day, Monday through Thursday, 12 o'clock Eastern time at Fox News.com and the Fox News YouTube channel at Fox News Facebook page and on demand, including Friday's episode, this episode of Canaan Sports at Will Kane Show on YouTube and on Apple and Spotify and Fox News podcast wherever you get your audio entertainment. It is our Friday edition of Canaan Sports, a sports exclusive episode of the Will Canaan. Show. Today, our guest is Armando Salgado. He is the senior NFL writer at Outkick.com. Free agency

kicks off on Monday. And there's some quarterbacks out there that need to find homes. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields among them. Kirk Cousins, could he be an Atlanta Falcon? We'll talk about that. Plus, what's happened to the running back market? How is it that guys like Sequin Barclay, who's been the best at every stage of his career, now can't get paid like the best. He's plugged in and he is the senior writer at Outkick. It is Armando

Salgaro. Armando Salgaro, the senior NFL writer at Outkick.com here with us on the Will Kane show. What's up, Armando? What up, Will? It's good to see you, sir. It's good to see you as well. You know, I want to play a little game with you today. I want to play Spin the Rulet wheel

on NFL quarterbacks. We're on the verge of NFL Free Agency, which starts early next week. And there's, I think, some very interesting names. Now, that being said, interesting, but have already had their names spun around the wheel at least once in the NFL. And we have a handful of teams who seem a little bit out of the NFL draft sweepstakes of the top three quarterbacks and will find themselves looking for someone who's already had one spin at one team in the NFL. So let's just kind of start broadly and then I'll narrow in on some players. But do you have some predictions for us on where Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields and other quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield will end up in the NFL?

Well, I think the easy one is Baker Mayfield. And I think he ends up in Tampa Bay because right now they have exclusive rights to speak with him and negotiate with him. And they have every intention of resigning him. They loved him not only on the field, but in the locker room last year, Will. And so they want to get something done before Monday, which is when the negotiating period at which point other teams can jump in and start talking to Baker Mayfield's agent. They want to, you know, get in before that, get it done before that and close the door on Baker Mayfield. And what about guys like Fields and Cousins? What do you think they end up?

Yeah, the trio that are super weird and super interesting at the same time are, like you mentioned, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousin, and now Russell Wilson, right? Because everyone knows he's going to be a free agent. And as a matter of fact, he's a free agent like right now because the Denver Broncos have given him permission with team starting right now. the permission goes as far as he can visit teams right now, which, you know, kind of, if you put two and two together, the agent is asking not just for permission, but the permission to visit, that tells me he's got something up his sleeve and he'll be visiting somewhere. So those three guys are really the most interesting guys. Well, and so Russell Wilson, let's talk about him for just one moment. What do you think the market's like for Russell Wilson? I mean, this is a guy that four or five years ago was in the debate for best quarterback in the NFL, talked about when it comes to MVP. At times, was considered a great leader in the NFL.

Now, I talked to Michelle Tofoy a little bit about this earlier this week on the Will Kane show. Like, it's not just his quarterback skills, but his reputation are not solid. He's not seen as the same leader, much less same quarterback. So does he have a starting job next year in the NFL? I believe he does, but it's a niche job in that it's not a team that's going to commit to him for four years. He's 35 years old. For four or five years, that's not the kind of commitment any team is going to make. Russell is more like a one to two year bridge starter and I think that he is going to land a job because he comes with an added value and that is he's got $39 million in the bank already for 2024 which the Denver Broncos are going to pay so he can give his next team something of a discount that first year and you know come in.

in and play and work and be around the team and earn his keep for the following year. So it's kind of going to be a tradeoff for Russell. He's going to offer that first year. Look, I'm going to be cheap the first year, but you can't do me with the two-year deal and I'm out of here. And now I'm on the street at 37 looking for a job deal.

So he gets to double up. I've wondered that about NFL contracts. I know that if you've got guaranteed money, it's guaranteed. But like, you know, I went to law school. I know how contract law works. If you and I have a contract and you break that contract and it hurts me financially, if I replace whatever I had with you, it's usually in contract law, certainly if it goes to a suit, offset. So in other words, if you, if I was guaranteed to make $39 million with you, but I signed with somebody else for $15 million, you're only on hook for the difference. You're on hook for the $24 million difference. But that's not the way for for Wilson, he'll double up. He'll make the 39 from Denver. And let's say he doesn't take a discount.

Let's say he gets 20 from somebody. He makes $59 million next year. No. The Denver Broncos do get the offset. So anything over a 39, you know, he's got the 39 million. But once he signs a contract, you start to subtract from that 39 million.

That's why I'm saying, He is obviously going to help his next team with a minimum salary kind of deal. But at the moment that he starts to collect from his new team, that next team is paying less. So he's guaranteed to make $39 million next year. He won't make less. It's just a matter of how much the Broncos have to pay of that $39 million. Okay, that makes sense to me. But what about the, my guess is, the Denver Broncos cut me.

They benched me last year. They embarrassed me. They didn't say nice things about me. Am I going to make them bleed a little bit? Yeah, I'm going to make them bleed a little bit. That's, I believe, what's going on in the Russell Wilson camp. And he won't make more than $39 million from somebody else. So he doesn't care.

What's it matter to him? if he takes a $1 million deal or a $20 million deal, that's to be worked out between the teams. I get your point. Yeah, let's punish them and take a way below market deal. What about Fields and Cousins? So in the beginning, it looked at what it seemed most obvious that the Bears are going to take Caleb Williams, number one overall in the NFL draft, quarterback from USC. And that puts Justin Fields on the trade market. And the primary team that was discussed was the Atlanta Falcons.

But everything that I'm hearing now, and by the way, I think the Falcons are picking at nine. So that puts them out of the reach of probably Drake May and Jaden Daniels as well. So either they love J.J. McCarthy from Michigan or they trade or sign someone in free agency. And in the beginning, it seemed like, okay, maybe they trade for Justin Fields. And that may cost you a fourth round pick, maybe a third round pick. But now everything I'm hearing, Armando, is that they might actually go after Kirk Cousins in free agency. Right, which makes a whole lot more sense. Look, Kirk Cousins is more accomplished. He is not elite by any measure, but he's pretty darn close as you can get without actually being there. At least that's what his stats say. The film, you know, you can argue with that one way or the other. Justin Fields is nowhere near that. Justin Fields is a developmental player. He is a project. he comes with great gifts, he can run around, he's very athletic, you know, he's got a high

ceiling, he hasn't really done anything in the NFL, and the problem is he's on an expiring contract. So do you trade for Justin Fields that has one year left on your contract and hope that you can develop him like gangbusters to the point where, you know, you're resigning him to another contract at the end of the year, that's, that's not exactly what I would call a great situation for a team to dive into that, you know, he, he is going to be a mid, like you said, a mid-round draft pick type of guy, and then we'll see. But I don't think that the team that picks him up is going to say, he's our guy. We're committed to him because you don't commit to developmental players.

So who fits that profile? What team for Justin Fields? Yeah, it's obviously, I think it's a team that perhaps has an older quarterback, a team that has an older quarterback that may be, you know, durability questions, durability issues. Last year, the team that fit the profile for that type of player was the Dallas Cowboys. And they went out and got, you know, Trey Lance. It isn't going to necessarily be a team that doesn't have somewhat of an answer.

Maybe New England, because they're going to find another quarterback and they're going to draft the quarterback. Maybe the commanders, because they've got a guy, and they're going to draft a guy, and maybe just a Fields comes in there on a lark, someone that already has someone. That's the thing. So I disagree with you about last year with the Cowboys. I'm going to tell you why, because it's actually the next topic I want to talk to you about. So everyone was shocked when the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance from the 49ers. Because, well, first of all, Dax's not old. He was 30 when they did it. Now he's 31, which is not old in quarterback term. So it never made sense. And they have a guy they like in the backup quarterback in

Cooper Rush. So it was odd. And, and, same situation with Tray Lance with the contract. It's like, how do you develop him and how do you know before you have to pay the guy? But I liked a little bit of what Jerry Jones did in that it cost him a fourth round pick. He bought a lotto ticket with Tray Lance. And I, Armando, I believe in the lot of ticket. And meaning there seems to be a lot of these guys now who the league in one moment thinks so highly enough to draft in the top five, maybe the top 10. And then they go to often bad situations and then that's not the case with trey lance but he just got beat out but it's the case with say zach wilson or baker mayfield originally and then there are these

reclamation projects and there's a lot of them um there's sam darnald there is zach wilson there's tray lance um and i'm i'm fascinated armando by the lotto ticket guy like what can't you now get some of these guys on relatively cheap trade value relatively cheap contracts and put them in a better situation. And there's at least, same thing with Justin Fields. Some hope that the ceiling is what you thought it was when you took him in the top five. Like put him in a better developmental situation. If I'm a team, I want, I'm interested in what did Sam Donald learn in San Francisco.

I'm interested in what does Zach Wilson look like after a year in San Francisco? Whatever. I'm interested in the lot of ticket. So let's do the exercise. outside of maybe, maybe Baker Mayfield, what lotto ticket has hit? Because it's a good, it's a good point. I'm wondering Sam Darnel, no, Trey Lance, well, obviously he hasn't had a chance, but did he beat out Cooper Rush?

No. I don't know a lot of, you know, Josh Rosen didn't. I can tell you, Zach Wilson won't. I can tell you that. I'm just wondering. He's done. There has to be uncomfortable. Who has actually, you know, come out of that lotto ticket thing and gone,

ha, ha! We're smarter than everybody! Well, I'm just, I'm racking my brain. Like, who has there not been a guy that the minute you changed his developmental situation, it changed the equation for you. And I'm just not good right now. thinking with an open with a blank page there's got to be come on armando there's got to be um this one guy that i would say to you kind of sort of fits that that profile but it it was a

perfect situation in that he was able to remain with the same team with the same surroundings with the same knowledge of what was going on and and the people who picked them who still believed in him, and that's Tuotanga by law. When he got a new head coach, you know, who loved him, as opposed to Brian Flores, the previous head coach, who didn't love him, he kind of blossomed a little bit, and he developed not to the great heights that the dolphins want yet, but they still think he has a ceiling. But again, he had these other factors helping him along in that the general manager believed in him. The owner believed in him. He was going to get to play. And what he needed was that new scheme, that new system, that new offensive mentor. How much do they believe

in Tua in Miami? Like if you think there's a ceiling to him, do you pay him? This is his opt-in year. They'll probably pick up that fifth year option. He's played well enough for that. But then do you give him a contract where he, I don't know what he'd make, $45 million a year under, I mean, who knows? I heard some guys talking the other day on sports radio about, like, of all the angst about DAC, if he actually became a free agent next year, what would he get paid? Like, 50 million for sure. There'd be a team that would pay an NFL MVP candidate, which he was and has been, 50 million.

So a guy like Tua, what's he going to make? 40, and will the dolphins pay that? He's going to make way more than 40. He's going to be in the 50. Yeah. based on what I heard at the NFL Combine. And is he going to be in the 50 club to the extent that he's challenging Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert or those guys who are here at 56, 55, 55, 2, something like that? No.

But the problem that the dolphins face is that they have a quarterback on an expiring contract who isn't all there. yet, but he's on an expiring contract. And if you let him go to the end of the season like you did last year, it's going to be more expensive. And his agent just might say, thank you. We're going to go to market. And at that point, if he performed last year, we're not talking 50. We're talking 57, 58, 59 a year. So they're going to pay. And another reason they're going to pay is the salary cap went out went up precipitously this year by some what was it from 228 or something to 255 and that it was like a 13% rise and guess what agents are doing now in their contract talks for their coming free agents they're raising their price by

13%. See how that works. So what Tua might have been a 42, 45, whatever million per year guy, now he's 50. So you think that, so the dolphins will try to get a deal done with him early at a discount is what they're going to try to do. Like, I don't know, a longer deal. And I don't know what the number will be. Maybe it is 50, but they're going to try to avoid the situation of him being a 57 million. million dollar quarterback, but they've seen enough, they'll do a deal early with Tua?

They haven't seen enough, but they've seen enough of the market and they know how it works. It rarely goes down. If Tua doesn't play to the level of, say, even last year or the last two years, that would be surprising to them. Internally, what they think is Tua's ceiling has not been reached yet. He's going to get better. and they plan to put a better offensive line there in front of them because they're going to remake the whole offensive line.

So they're paying for the prospect of what Tua is going to be rather than what Tua has been. All right. I've thought of one obvious lotto ticket, one less obvious, but they're much older. Steve Young traded from the bucks to the Niners. I don't know how much he had shown in Tampa for them to, believe him. He went and became a backup to Joe Montana. But the most obvious lotto ticket that succeeded is Brett Farv. I mean, like they didn't think he was going to be who ended up being

in Atlanta, change of scenery, change of lifestyle. A lot of things changed for Brett Farv. But then he becomes a Hall of Famer. Fair. Um, you know, and, you know, the 1970s and 80s just called and said, hey, this doesn't happen anymore. But we were awesome back in the day. Now, Armando, do you think, you think that NFL, so explain this to me. NFL teams are so good at evaluating a quarterback inside their building that they can know within a year or two when this guy's a bust. But that same institutional knowledge doesn't apply to evaluating a college quarterback. Like, they're still not any better at projecting who's going to be a bust and who's going to be a success coming out of college.

but they all of a sudden have all the things they need to know a year or two after a guy's inside the building about his ceiling. Actually, I would tell you that NFL teams are terrible at evaluating quarterbacks there at like 50% in the first round. Yeah, that's my point. That's my point to draft. But that should encourage the lotto-ticket idea. Maybe you're not so good at knowing what you actually have as well.

Right, but there's this kind of like almost, I'm not going to say, group think, but there is a little bit of group think. And when a player, say, like a Josh Rosen, who was the 10th overall pick in the draft in, I think, 2019, when he fails in Arizona, okay, another team is going to go out there and say, we can do something with that. Then he fails with his second team. And now everybody's going, whoa, wait a second now. he's failed with one team he's failed with another team we didn't like him in the draft we're staying away there will be teams that still like them in the draft and go okay let's take a runner on him but we're not expecting him to be great he's the lotto ticket guy we're gonna we're gonna minimize

our you know resources that we use on them and we better have not a backup plan but a plan and let him be the backup plan. That's what typically happens. You know, Trey Lance was the number of three pick in the draft. And he's the third quarterback in Dallas. Well, hopefully there is some hope that he at least beats out Cooper Rush this year. You know, so I'm excited about the lotto ticket that is Trey Lance.

Let's see. You know, Jerry is always pumping sunshine, but it sounds like things are going well with Trey Lance behind the scenes. Okay. So you don't like Zach Wilson. Russell Wilson ends up with a job. Justin Fields gets a mid-round trade pick. Kirk Cousins signs in Atlanta. And there's your quarterback carousel wheel. Baker-Mayfield resigns in Tampa. Yeah, I think also Russell Wilson, you know, Las Vegas feels like a possibility for Russell Wilson. They have a roster that suggests, let's do something now. And I know the owner wants to win now because he's had a lot of losing. So they not only are going to find a younger guy,

but they're more than happy to find a one or two-year veteran that will start for them and actually make the Devante Adams' expenditure worthwhile. because they've wasted Devante Adams here the last couple of years.

Somebody knows. Real cases, real people. Listen and follow now at Fox Truecrime.com. I would be remiss, and I'll hear from it on my, you know, internal show text chain. Because I somehow ended up with the, it's got to be the biggest Florida State Homer there is outside of Danny Cannell on my show staff. And he would be, I would just really suffer under all the texts. If I don't bring up James Winston, another lotto ticket. And you know, you don't hear about James, like teams interested in, James wasn't awful in New Orleans.

Like when Derrick Carr got hurt, certainly fantasy. football players got something out of James Winston but you think there's much is there is there any promise left on the flower that is James Winston James Winston I think has has a niche and the niche is he's your backup quarterback who can function if you know your starter goes down uh it's you know he he had some very good coaching with Sean Peyton and yet Yeah, I'm not. James Winston feels like and has been for a long time the guy that you don't put your career on the line for.

One coach did that. He threw 30 interceptions and that was the end of that in a season. So James Winston Lotto ticket as a starter, man, yikes you know i like how you put it like if you're an NFL coach how do you feel about putting your job on the line with james's and i don't think anybody says yeah i'm willing to bank my career on james winston um let's keep going on quarterbacks for a minute i've always talked about this i think it's fascinating and that is as bad as NFL teams are evaluating quarterbacks in the draft there's always quarterback inflation um it's pretty obvious there'll be at least three quarterbacks

taken in the top 10, maybe with the top three picks in Caleb Williams, Drake May and Jaden Daniels. Drake May from North Carolina, Jaden Daniels from LSU. A lot of talk, by the way, that Jaden Daniels has leaped Drake May, and he could go to Washington, to the commanders. And then there's J.J. McCarthy, and he seems to be benefiting from quarterback inflation. I mean, there's some talk of him climbing into the top 10 or at least at 10. And there's even, I've noticed at least in in terms of like, like talk and energy. There's some around Bo Nix from Oregon and Michael Pennix from Washington. Will they climb into the first round?

And I, you know, I got to tell you, Pennix was incredible in the college football playoff against Texas, incredible, not the same in the championship game. And I was never blown away by J.J. McCarthy, Armando. Like, I didn't, but you know what? I'm going to say this. I wasn't blown away by Brock Purdy either. I watched him in college. So, I mean, bless these guys that they end up with Kyle Shanahan, I guess, would be my point.

Like, if these guys are going to be inflated and rise up in the draft, I hope you get to the right situation. Otherwise, I don't know how you're not Mack Jones. Right. And not just end up with Kyle Shanahan, but end up with Christian McCaffrey to hand the ball to and Trent Williams to protect your blindside. And Devo Samuel and Brandon Ayu to throw the ball to. and George Kittle to, you know, throw down the scene to, yeah, a lot of guys are going to be pretty all right in that kind of situation, I would imagine. You're absolutely right about J.J. McCarthy. He's rising. And I don't think he's right. We call it rising. Like, we know what these guys are internally thinking. We don't know anything about what they're thinking because that is their best kept secret.

he's rising in the eyes of the so-called insiders and draft gurus who missed something or other and now people are at the combine talking to scouts who know what they think of these guys and now we're going oh okay now we see their reasoning and the reason that j jay mccarthy is rising is because number one he's got a much better arm that anyone gives them credit for. Joe Milton had the highest velocity throw at the combine. You know who was second? J.J. McCarthy, which surprised me because I'm going, wait a second, I thought he was like another, you know, kind of questionable arm quarterback. No, he's not that. One scout told me the ball actually jumps off his, off his hand. So there's that. He knows how to win, obviously. And he's, he's

really athletic in ways that people don't recognize. There's a play that a scout showed me on tape where he hands the ball off on a reverse. There's a reverse to Corum. They're running back. And Corum comes out the backfield on the edge. And J.J. McCarthy is trailing him by five yards. And the next thing you see, J.J. McCarthy has passed him down the sideline and is blocking for him. Why? Because he's faster than the running back. And so that kind of stuff impresses NFL teams, not just the fact that he showed the athletic skill to do it, but that he had the desire to help his team win like that. Armando, I don't know if you were at the Combine, but talking about some of these guys in where they showed out. You know what I'm shocked by? And maybe I shouldn't be.

offensive line I mean I know like we all understand their giants but I was looking this morning Armando like we're talking about legit giants now like offensive tackles 6-5 kind of minimum like and you know I was looking everybody's talking about Amarius mims the guy from Georgia and because he's 6-8 but then I saw joe all I think it's joe alt is 6-9 6-9-340 and can move all these guys I'm just a little bit, like, I don't think we've kept up with how big, and by the way, still athletic and fast, these guys are getting. It's insane on the offensive line. Well, you know, years ago, the guys like Larry Allen, they were freaks,

because they were 6-5, 325, whatever it was, and they could run. Remember the tape of Larry Allen running down a linebacker who intercepted a pass years ago? that's like wow well nowadays because the teams uh you know have nutritionists just like NFL teams they they make sure their weight rooms are oftentimes better than NFL weight rooms these guys are not only big uh they're strong and they're athletic and they're agile and you know the beauty of them is they can all pass block now because football has turned into yeah we're going to run as a as an afterthought we're going to throw and so the tackles are great they're easy they are maybe i would say the second or third

easiest position group to you know to kind of get an idea on as prospects you don't see too many teams missing on right or left tackles. And, oh, hold on real quick, on that second or third, what position groups do you think are the easiest to project where teams miss the least? Yeah, running back is, you know, that's, I could do that. Right? Running back is easy. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, then why is, well, there's dudes that are being found in the fourth and fifth. round that are stud running backs. And I know you can say, oh, well, the market on running backs is low. We're going to get to that in a minute. But if you know you've got a, you know, there's so many NFL runbacks. It's so many that it's hard to even recall them at this point. But that are fourth and fifth round guys.

If you knew he was going to be that guy, you wouldn't wait until the fourth or fifth round. You'd pick them in the second. Well, the fact is there's so many of them that you don't get too many first round running backs chosen anymore. They're few and far between. I think, what was it? Last year, there was one, two.

And that was a big year with Bejohn Robinson and the kid from Detroit. Right. You can tell their critical factors even in college. Can they run? Do they have quick feet? Do they have vision? Are they smart enough to run where the holes are? And their instincts.

The only issue that running backs really have that are harder to kind of understand and project is pass protection because every team needs of running back to pass protect and it's hard to figure it out if you're running back. That's the mental side of it. Well, let's talk about running back. It's so fascinating how the market is just absolutely cratered. Running back's, I mean, if you got a kid, tell him not to play running back, if he wants to get paid. But you got big names out there, didn't get franchise tags that are in free agency.

You got Derek Henry, but we can acknowledge at least to some extent he's getting older, but he's still putting up numbers. but the biggest one is Saquan Barkley the Giants took second was it second or third a couple years ago you know

there's a we used to talk about this on the Will Kane show when I was on ESPN like 25 years old seemed to be the marker don't give a running back a second contract he doesn't perform after 25

I do wonder if there's a certain number of carries though where a guy like I don't know Gus Edwards in Baltimore he's older than that but he hadn't carried the ball a ton so like what do you do

if you're a free agent running back. Same thing. Is there a value to find with Saquan Barclay because the market's so bad? Like, maybe you get Saquan cheap and you end up with Saquan Barclay. Yeah, Saquan Barclay doesn't think he's going to come cheap. Obviously, that's the reason he's going to hit the market. The New York Giants love Saquan Barclay. They love him as a person. They love him as a player. They know that they can count on him typically in the locker room. They know that he knows his stuff and he is going to be a plus player for them. Having said that, their value market-wise on him has gone down.

You know, last year at one point, they were offering him a contract that averaged on an annual basis at $12 million a year. And then, you know, Sequin wanted more and they said no. and they franchised him for 10.01 or something like that. Well, this year, they're at 10.01, which is lower than they were last year, and they didn't franchise him. They're willing to let him go to market, and they think that he's going to come back. He thinks someone is going to roll out the red carpet and pay him $12, $13 million a year.

I don't know that that's going to happen. I don't know that that's going to happen for any of these guys. If any of them, it happens for it would be D'Andre Swift of the Eagles. And if it does happen for him, it's not going to be by the Eagles because they do not pay running backs. And I don't know that anybody should.
