0:00.0	Go Birds!
0:05.0	What's going on, everybody, and good morning.
0:10.5	Today is Saturday, April 18th, and this is your daily Go Birds Morning Update, giving you all the Eagles news you need to know, as well as what to keep an eye out for today.
0:20.6	Happy Saturday. I hope you all have
0:22.2	had an amazing start to your weekend, a fun Friday night. But let's get into some NFL news,
0:28.4	some NFL draft news, some Eagles news. Let's get you prepared for your Saturday with everything
0:33.3	you might have missed on Friday. And it was an eventful Friday around the NFL.

1:23.8	but I would imagine his team views him as more than just a defensive tackle. They view him as a
1:29.2	defensive player, a defensive force, a disruptor, somebody that makes everybody better, someone in the
1:35.2	market of a Chris Jones with the Kansas City Chiefs, right? So when a player becomes the highest paid
1:42.7	non-quarterback in NFL history, that's the type of deal
1:46.4	Jalen Carter is going to be going for and is likely going to go for. And when the deal includes
1:52.1	134 million guaranteed, you think Jalen Carter has to be looking at that and saying, okay, I know
