0:00.0	Welcome to the Ringer NFL show.
0:09.7	I'm your host, Shield Capadia, a wild first day.
0:13.1	Teams negotiating deals on the first day they're allowed to in NFL free agency.
0:19.0	We got a simple exercise today.
0:21.1	Likes and dislikes with all these moves.
0:24.3	So many moves to get to, so many big moves to get to.
0:27.1	We've got on my friend from the ringer, Deontay Lee.
0:30.6	So let's take a break.
0:31.7	We'll come back.
0:32.7	We'll get to all of it.
0:50.8	Music of it. All right. We are back here on the Ringer NFL show with Deontale. Deontes, the head spinning a little bit with re-agency. Do you have a spreadsheet? Are you organized?
0:54.6	How are you feeling about the first day so far? I'm not a spreadsheet guy. I should maybe adopt
0:58.4	the spreadsheet just for my own accounting, right? Like my problem is, and maybe this is just

1:17.4	the ticker up. I've got the little timeline thing. So every bullet point that comes by,
1:22.2	like, okay, let me scroll back to the top to see what the newest thing is. And then I'll go back
1:25.4	to the bottom to make sure that I'm following, you know, the entire
1:28.6	stretch of the day. So probably not the most efficient, but I think that there's also a part of me who kind of just likes the wild nature. It's fun. Yeah. It's like you're through a set of signings and then all of a sudden, on to the next one. So listen, we're not going to get to every single thing this episode, but we got a bunch of shows coming up this week. So we will hit on all the major stuff. But we're just doing likes and dislikes here today. What did we like? What didn't we like? Will we disagree on some of these? Will we agree on some of these? Deonti, you get us started. What do you got? I think that this is something we could probably
2:02.0	talk about in conjunction with their other moves for the last week or so. But my first like was
2:07.2	Jalen Watson going to the Rams, right? I like that for a lot of reasons. A, I think that ultimately
