Hey listeners, it's Phil Mackey. We're talking Minnesota sports five days a week on Mackey and Jeb with Rami,

available on Apple, Spotify, the Score North app, or anywhere else you find podcasts. If you're

tight on time today and you can only listen to one segment from today's show, here it is.

Give it a good stuff. The game is smokescreen or reality. Okay, it's an annual game we play

on the eve of the NFL draft.

Jonathan, let's play this clip about Rick Spielman talking about

safetys, defensive needs, et cetera, heading into the draft.

Yeah, no, I know we have some big changes in the secondary.

I believe, you know, one of the critical things was, you know, not only is Anthony Harris a great football player for us and great in the community, but by us being able to franchise Anthony, we do have the safeties pretty well set, knowing that we're going to have a lot of young corners that we're going to have to line up and play with.

All right. Rick Spielman's saying, we've got the safety spots set now that Anthony Harris has been

franchised.

Is it a smokescreen or do you buy him at face value?

Rami.

I'm going to say, I'm going to say I buy him at face value.

You think they're keeping Anthony Harris?

I think they're keeping Anthony Harris.

Because you don't, I think that what they've, what they've told Anthony Harris is, look, we're going to take care of you.

Our salary cap situation is, it's a little sticky right now.

We don't have a lot of her.

Let us get the draft over with.

Let us figure out what money we have left.

We will give you as much guaranteed money as we can this year, and then we'll take care of you next year.
