| 0:02.5 | Brian Padda, Senior Defensive Lyman from Miami. |
| 0:12.9 | Gunned down. |
| 0:14.3 | The key to this case, it's Brian. |
| 0:18.0 | A hour before he died, he was on the phone, arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. Biggest one of conviction. Being placed him to arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now. Welcome into NFL Live. Glad you're with us today. Mina Kimes, Chase Daniel, Adam Schaefter, with you for the full hour today. And just when you thought the free agency madness was over, Adam continues to break news. |
| 0:42.3 | What's the latest on Justin Fields, Adam? |
| 0:45.3 | Lauren, it's never over. |
| 0:47.3 | And today the New York Jets traded Justin Fields to the Kansas Chiefs for a 2027 sixth round pick. Fields gets to go to a place that he wanted to be where Patrick Mahomes is recovering from a torn ACL and the Chiefs needed a backup quarterback with them having lost Gardner Minchu to the Arizona Cardinals. Fields will come in, get plenty of work during the offseason during |

| 1:39.5 | that, but they'll add to that quarterback room now that they've subtracted from it today by trading Justin Fields to the Chiefs. |
| 1:46.2 | Some interesting names in the later rounds for quarterbacks in the draft. |
| 1:49.4 | But let's look at the timeline for KC and Mahomes. |
| 1:51.7 | Mahomes tore his left ACL and LCL back on December 14th. |
| 1:55.7 | He underwent successful surgery the next day in Dallas. |
| 1:59.0 | And the typical recovery for such an injury about nine months, meaning Mahomes will miss the team's off season program. |
| 2:04.6 | His availability for the start of next season, of course, is in question. |
| 2:07.6 | The start is what we're focusing on. |
| 2:09.6 | 2026 NFL season opener is slated for either September 9th or 10th. |
