Welcome back to the PFF NFL show.

0:21.6

Trevor Sicken with Dalman here with you guys.

0:23.6

For the beginning of Free Agency, baby, let's go.

0:26.3

We're already cooking.

0:27.1

It's noon on a Monday.

0:28.6

Free agency is about to open up.

0:30.2

We've already got some massive trades and moves here and there that are changing everything,

0:34.3

Colin, changing the outlook of teams, changing some draft strategies.

1:16.0

The finances are obviously going to change a ton this week. It's a major week of the NFL calendar. So how you doing, my friend? You ready for it? Good. I'm excited, Trev. These are some of the most exciting episodes we have because we really don't know for however long we're about to be on what's going to happen. We've already got a lot of moves that have happened over the past week or so. Some of them really game-changing moves for some of these franchises. So I think this week is going to be a lot of fun as it was last year. Yeah, honestly, I feel as though we're going to be going, I don't feel as though this is going to happen. This is going to happen. We're going to be live with you guys every single day at noon Eastern to recap all the craziness that is going to be free agency.

1:18.2

Because it's not just the players that are on the free agent market.

1:19.9

It's also a lot of the trades that we're seeing.

1:21.9

A lot of the players are going to get cut.

1:24.9

And I say this to people all the time.

1:32.8

The difficult part about draft evaluation specifically isn't necessarily plugging a good player into a team that could really use them.

1:35.4

The difficult part of predicting what's going to happen in the NFL draft is the moves

1:39.6

that you never thought a team would make.

1:42.1

Trading a player, cutting a player, like whatever it is, signing a player. That's the tough part is trying to predict those things. And that's why Free Agency Week is absolutely crazy. We've already got some major trades that we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about the Max Crosby trade. We're going to talk about the Trent McDuffie trade. We're going to talk about the DJ Moore trade as well, how this changes things for these teams, both the ones that got rid of the players and the ones that are acquiring the players. We'll talk about that from an outlook standpoint when it comes to wins of losses as well as the NFL draft. But can we start with Tua? Can we start talking with Tua here? Because early in the morning, and obviously

2:17.5

we're doing this on a Monday morning, it's announced that Tua is going to be designated as a post-June

2:23.4

1 cut for the Miami Dolphins, getting nearly $100 million of dead cap to the Miami

2:30.2

Dolphins. I think that it is a very interesting strategy of the dolphins. I wonder how

2:38.9

much they tried to navigate this for like to it to take a little bit of a pay cut or for him to

2:46.2

be on the roster next year so they could spread out some of the dead money over the next two years that followed instead of eating it over the next two seasons. But hey, maybe the dolphins are just saying we are not going to be good this upcoming season. Who cares? Let's eat as much of the dead cap as possible. But Tua becomes a free agent. And then we have learned that the likely landing spot, at least the one that everyone is talking about, is him potentially with the Atlanta Falcons.
