What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ Buck.

Back with you, Buck.

We are marching towards week one of the college season after a fun couple games there on

week zero. We've got the NFL, just a fun couple games there on week zero we've got the

NFL just a little more than a week away right now but man it's it's right here man it's such a long

off season but i'm so glad we've made it this far here i'm really glad that we made it like jj this is

kind of the time that you look forward to the beginning of the season. Everyone believes

they still have a chance. All of the work that you've seen done over the course of the

offseason and training camp, teams being made, we get a chance to kind of look at how teams

are really built versus how we kind of philosophize about how teams should be built and which

teams to do it. And then the college football game just brings a completely different thing

because we talk about prospects while also having our own personal fandom with the college game.

I don't know if there's a better time when it comes to football than right now where we're at

at the end of August. Yeah, I know. I'm fired up. Super excited about this thing to get it going. Today's episode, it's going to be a little bit of a mini pod, but we are going to do a wide receiver pod. So we're going to talk about a contract that got done, one that's still yet to get done, as well as we're going to play, who would you rather have here between two wide outs? and I'm going to go down the list. We're going to hit you rapid fire with guys and see who you like to have a better year this coming year. That'll be a fun conversation. Let's start first of all here. CD Lamb gets done. I don't think this surprises anybody. We kind of felt like this was inevitable. Four years, 136 million makes him the second highest paid non-QB in NFL history.

$38 million signing bonus, largest ever to a wideout, also receives $100 million guaranteed.

So he's 34 per. Jefferson is at 35 per. So he comes in right behind him, but a big number, again, showing that wide receivers are valued a little differently than running backs in the National Football League.

You know, DJ, what's crazy about that is, you know, we've just seen it.

Like just the, since we've been in the league, just the shift in terms of how people view the playmakers.
