Summary

From Indy, Matthew Coller is joined by Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star to discuss the Combine but, more importantly, Chiefs star guard Trey Smith, who could be a target for Minnesota this offseason, and what he's worth on the open market. Then, Coller chats with Q Myers of Raiders Nation Radio to discuss Las Vegas potentially going after Sam Darnold in Free Agency and why Q thinks dishing out a big contract wouldn't be a wise investment for the Raiders.
