Welcome to 40s and Free Agents, where we marry up the draft and free agency.

0:13.8

And it's been quite a week.

0:15.6

I'm Greg Rosenthal.

0:17.0

My friend Daniel Jeremiah has been celebrating his anniversary. I'm glad you got that out of the way,

0:23.1

DJ, because I don't want to hear about Eisen or Bucky Brooks. This is the only partnership that matters

0:27.9

to you now. Well, I'm committed to this partnership, not committed enough to make that two-hour

0:33.4

drive after a vacation, but I am committed to it at least via, you know, this online video

That's another conversation, you know, Greg, with what they added.

1:38.9

But, you know, Kevin Zitler, I don't know that that's, you know, a three year move.

1:42.7

That's something for the next year or two to help, you know, you would thank a young quarterback to kind of get assimilated
