Welcome. Hey, hey, hey. Good morning football.

Welcome to Good Morning Football, live in New York City.

And for as much to stays the same, many things of change.

It's mid-March.

It's the start of free agency.

I'm Jamie Eradall.

There's Kyle Brand, Peter Schrager, Jason McCordy. That game, we were just remembering it was Christmas game, Patriots at Broncos, and it was the unraveling, perhaps, of the beginning of that with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson out there anymore, Peter, but you're such good friends of Sean. You worked in them for that year on Fox. What's going on there? This is cleaning house time. Let's do a pure reset in Denver. And you're seeing it by trading Jerry Judy for a pair of draft picks. You're seeing it by getting rid of Russell Wilson and still paying him $38 million. And I think the one that you mentioned earlier, Kyle, Justin Simmons, who has been a Walter Payton Mayn of the Year nominee and all pro to say to Justin Simmons, like we just we can't afford for what we are right now we have to cut bait so

They're going to pay him $39 million guaranteed, minus the $1.2 million of salary that the Steelers

are paying him.

It's the minimum.

It's maybe the best deal in the NFL for someone to come in, compete for a starting job, and push Kenny Pickett

in Pittsburgh. Russell Wilson announcing this news himself last night on Instagram with a very

nice video. The Steelers now have a quarterback competition. I see a lot of things where people are,

obviously Russell Wilson isn't going to go there unless he's going to start. We will see about that. Mike Tomlin will make these guys compete, and they will make Russell Wilson, if he's going to go out and win it, he'll make him actually go out and win it. It is going to be an intriguing place. It's going to be a great training camp store, and time will tell what Arthur Smith, that offense, and the

Pittsburgh Steelers end up looking like with Russell Wilson as their quarterback. We still do not
