Summary

Gotham Chopra, the creator of the documentary series, "Tom vs. Time", on whether he thinks family or team-related reasons will cause Tom Brady to cut his career shorter than he ideally would like, on how he convinced Brady to give him the access to do the six-part documentary, and on his takeaway about the reported tension between Brady and coach Bill Belichick. Broncos beatwriter Nicki Jhabvala on the reasons why the Broncos didn’t wait for Kirk Cousins and instead jumped into signing Case Keenum before free-agency began, on the future of once-prized rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch, and on the importance of former coach Gary Kubiak in the decision to go with Cousins. Former Philadelphia and Cleveland exec Joe Banner on whether the Browns finally have their franchise architect in John Dorsey and whether owner Jimmy Haslam will finally have the patience he’s never had with a franchise executive, on the meaning of the spate of three-year free-agent contracts, and on how Howie Roseman solidified his power post-Chip Kelly in Philadelphia.

1:06.3	Wednesday or whenever you listen to it and you'll probably notice that there are an awful lot of people who you wonder,
1:15.6	geez, is he really worth all that money?
1:18.0	And so a couple of things about the money and a couple of things about, you know, the relative
1:27.3	place of the players in the NFL right now with these contracts. So when you look at where we're going in the
1:38.1	NFL right now, I asked Joe Banner this question later in the podcast but but, and I raised the point in Monday morning
1:44.8	quarterback this week, that how amazing it is, really, when you think about it, that
