Summary

Rich responds to a Houston Texans fan impatient with the sometimes good/sometimes bad development of QB CJ Stroud.In ‘What’s More Likely’ Rich weighs in on how many sacks Myles Garrett will rack up next season, if Aaron Donald will unretire and return to the Rams, how AJ Brown’s trade will impact the Eagles, Russell Wilson’s Hall of Fame chances, the Knicks red-hot playoff run, if ‘The Hangover’ or ‘Wedding Crashers’ is the funnier movie, and more. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero tells Rich how close the Rams came to pursuing Raiders DE Maxx Crosby before trading with the Browns for Myles Garrett, why the Philadelphia Eagles finally traded WR AJ Brown, discusses a possible timeline for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to extend Baker Mayfield’s contract, and the possibility of the Bears leaving Chicago for a stadium in Indiana.
