This is

Toucher and Rich.

Bosses on fire.

Presented by Van Dill Sportsbook on 985, the Sports Hub.

It is Toucher and Rich, and what a rare morning it is where news actually breaks on our show.

Usually the powers of B wait until the second we turn off the microphones.

And much like what happened with the Jacobi Myers news earlier in the week.

They, of course, wait until then to announce that he's, of course, going to the Raiders and so on so.

But we actually have breaking news this morning, and that is that Mike Keseki, who has been playing for the Dolphins, he has been signed by the Patriots.

It's a one year.

Bert, I know you reported 9 million max on that.

Yeah, and that usually means it's worth considerably less. Sure. Is this an earned? Nine million earned? Is that what we're hearing now? It's going to be, I mean, like, I would assume it's probably, the base is probably four or five million. This is, I'm sure this is a make-good contract where, like, he's got to hit certain markers to to get the money and look like I think

the big takeaway now is they've replaced John O'Smith and Jacoby Myers with Juju Smith and Mike

Gassicki.

They've upgraded at both positions and I think that's fair to say.

And not only have they upgraded, but as it was saying before, when Bill O'Brien shows up, one of the best things that he did with that offense was to work the magic that was the two tight ends set. Yeah. And so now that they have two guys where we're assuming we'll be able to at least have some sort of semblance, because I think that when they brought in Johnny Smith, they believed him and Hunter Henry could probably do something like this, but

they didn't have Bill O'Brien. Bill O'Brien is... Well, that was the whole, I mean, the ideal here, and this is something they were chasing even before then. Yeah. The ideal here is Grand Hernandez. Yes. Right? Like, that's the idea. On the field. And that's not off the field.

No, not on the field.

But you want that.

Yeah.

And even like you go back before then, like that's what Daniel Graham and Ben Watson were supposed to be when they spent two first round picks on those guys in a three year span. So like you want to have your wide tight end, which is like the more traditional inline guy who can block and catch and do everything.

And then you want the move guy.
