0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell show.
0:08.6	I am Bill Barnwell.
0:10.2	Today, we are moving on, at least in a moment,
0:14.4	to finding spots for some of the AFC's most prominent free agents
0:19.5	as free agency approaches. But today, just try to have a
0:25.6	quiet day, do an episode of Around the Horn, maybe do an episode of this podcast. News would
0:31.4	not stop breaking. We saw Joe Toeney, surprisingly, in some circles traded to the Chicago Bears 4th round pick. We saw Tyler Lockett released. We saw Joe Tooney, surprisingly, in some circles, traded to the Chicago Bears' 4th round
0:38.9	pick.
0:39.9	We saw Tyler Lockett released.
0:41.6	We saw Christian Kirk released.
0:43.1	And then if that was not enough, D.K. Metcalfe has apparently requested a trade.
0:48.6	And the Seahawks have said, yeah, ask around, see what you can get.

1:11.8	Oh, not much. I'm waiting to see if ESPN has said that I can be traded or if I'm being
1:18.4	released. Honestly, it feels like it's something in the air today that if you exist,
1:22.6	you could be on the move. If you exist anywhere near the vicinity of the NFL, hold on tight because you
1:28.5	could be somewhere else in two seconds is what I've learned today. Brooke, you are on a great cap
1:33.4	number. The Steelers would be very foolish to move on from you. But I will say, I was not expecting
1:40.1	D.K. Metcalfe to be on the move either. Was not the all-pro guard for the chiefs Joe Tuny to be on the move.
1:46.7	But here we are.
