place to go with your cap and it's not something that's going to lead to long-term success.

I just want to make that point first before we start discussing these quarterbacks.

Yeah, absolutely. The cap is jumping from 277.5 or it's going to be somewhere between 277

and a half million to 281.5 million. I want to say that's almost 100 million more than it was like six or seven years ago. So it's just exponential. It's a very lucrative business, the NFL. So the Giants should strike why the iron's hot if they need to sign somebody. I am right there with you as long as it's not going to cripple them from a long term standpoint. Stafford shouldn't because it will probably only be about a two-year deal.

Yeah.

So let's have some fun on this podcast and talk about all sorts of secondary options for the Giants at quarterback. We're not going to go in any kind of order. We're going to give a name and talk our thoughts on that player. Let's start with a fun one, Nick. Let's start with Aaron Rogers. Now, Nick, I don't know this for sure. but from what I've gathered, it is not a situation here with Aaron Rogers and Free Agency where it was Russell Wilson last year, you know,

where the team, the former team, the Broncos were paying his salary at the point where all he could

do was signed for the vet minimum Russell Wilson with the Steelers or else he would offset all

the money that he already earned. I believe that Aaron Rogers is free to sign and the Jets are just on the hook for signing bonus money or pro-rated money.

And he's free to sign for a deal.

So with that in mind, my guess is Aaron Rogers won't play for anything less than $40 million,

looking at maybe $ 45 type deal where's

your interest level with Aaron Rogers and the Giants I'm open to the Giants signing Aaron Rogers

and that might be a little bit controversial but I from what I saw still has arm town a lot of

arm talent I think he's vastly slower and looks older. So it's not my number one

option. It's probably not my number two option going the Aaron Rogers route. I don't know if he

has any interest in signing with the Giants. I can see actually Matt Stafford being dealt and then him

going back to California and playing for the Rams with Sean McVay, which would be interesting.

But I would entertain it. Now, that's a lot of money for Aaron Rogers. I don't know if he would even sign for more than a one-year deal. If he would do two years with an opt-out on either side, that could be possible. But I know it would be a significant upgrade over anything the New York Giants had. There are other free agents. obviously mass staffer's not a free agent but there are other free agents that entice me more than

Aaron Rogers, but I am open to it. Yeah, it's funny with this one, Nick, I've kind of, I don't want to say come full circle, but my opinions changed a lot on this. I, you know, even recently tweeted about this and probably should have edited it or, you know, gone back to it because my opinion's changed with some of stuff I've gathered. But I was higher on the idea of Rogers earlier than I am now. And I was higher on it because I looked at it like, well, I'm very, very big on trying to figure out what Theo Johnson is, what Wondell Robinson is, what Neighbors is, and what Hyatt is. Luckily, for me, Neighbors is so good that it hasn't mattered. He's been able to outshine his bad quarterback play. But it's not like it's been perfect, dude. We haven't really gotten to see what he's capable of on the vertical plane, with the exception of an occasional Doyle throw. and I guess the time he ripped that ball out of the Browns,

DB's hands when Jones just kind of like put a bad pass up. Other than that, he's been overthrown a million times in his rookie season. He's been underthrown at times. He hasn't been targeted at times when he's been open. So we really didn't get to see that. And when it comes to Hyatt. Everyone's so sure he's a bust, but I'm not so sure. And the same goes for Wanda. Everyone's so sure he's this underneath merchant. I'm not so sure, man. I think the quarterback play was so bad from an anticipatory standpoint and from a processing standpoint and from an armed talent standpoint, to be quite honest, accuracy, that like, and that one was more of middling league average. The other two were just horrific anticipation and processing, which is really bad from the Giants past quarterbacks. Armed talent, it's been okay, I guess. That I want to find out what these guys are. Same goes for Theo Johnson, and I don't want to wait another year. I don't want us to go into next offseason Nick like, oh, I guess Hyatt sucks. I guess Theo sucks. I guess these are just middling draft picks because their production sucks when it's like how much of their production is

tied to the quarterback play. You and I know from evaluating this game or at least we opine
