This is the Athletic Football Show's Football GM podcast.

Welcome everybody with the Football GM podcast.

Mike Sando here along with the GM, Randy Mueller.

And Randy, the NFL calendar may change at some point here in the future

if the players get their way. My gosh, I was reevaluating all the vacations that you usually

try to take in the summer and all that. We'll get to some of that, but the fun part of the

calendar that keeps going has to do with these wide receiver contracts.

Before we get to Jalen Waddle, how you doing? I'm doing great. Good to be back with you again,

and I agree the offseason calendar may or may not change. Some of us who have been around a long

time, what do they say if you hang on to something long enough, what goes around comes around,

right? We didn't have any offseason calendar to use in the 80s and 90s either because we had no OTAs. There were no such thing. Our players really didn't come back in until after the draft. So maybe that's what we're gonna get a version of, but yeah, we can dive into some of that. That'll be fun. But the roller coaster ride of the receivers and the resetting of the markets has been interesting. And we've talked about it. It seems like for the last month, but it happened again this week. Well, this one's fun, Randy, in Miami, because they're such an interesting team, you know, with all the stuff they've got going on and they've been good, but they haven't

gotten over the hump. The clock's ticking a little bit here for them. They've seen, you know,

some roster attrition this offseason. They couldn't resign Christian Wilkins, or at least they

didn't decide to. They've got a looming potential contract situation with their quarterback to a

tongue of Aloa. They're in this kind of window here trying to keep it open.

Jalen Waddle, good young receiver for them.

They take him to number four in the NFL's wide receiver pecking order if we go by

average per year.

He'd be at 28 and a half.

He's behind A.J. Brown, Ammonrae St. Brown, and his own

teammate, Tyreek Hill. They didn't really have to do this deal with him now. They did. Maybe they're

getting ahead of what they think's going on in this market. They don't want to have to go higher later.
