Hello and welcome to episode 474 of the official Established Run.com podcast. My name is Adam Levittin.

As always joined by Evan Silva. The hot stove in the NFL is brewing. It is currently what time is it is currently two 10 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. Trade deadline is four p.m.

Already had some moves go down that we're going to talk about may have some more breaking news into the show as we do it here. Evan. Good afternoon.

What's up, Adam? This is a fun day. Teams are obviously becoming more willing to trade. I think it's interesting and we'll get to TJ Hawkinson, you know, from a fantasy standpoint, but I think it's cool how some of these new GM's.

Quessi Mensa in Minnesota, Brad Holmes in Detroit. They are not, they don't care about trading within the division. You know, for so long and I thought it was so irrational and ridiculous. Teams have been so reticent to make trades within the division for fear of looking bad. They were literally willing to take less compensation just to make sure they didn't make a trade within the division. These new GM's.

They don't care. They want to get the most compensation that they can the lions and the Vikings have made several trades at this point since these GM's took over and now TJ Hawkinson staying in the division going to Minnesota.

Yeah, we'll get to that in a second. I think it's cool that to understand if you're a buyer or seller and executing a strategy around that, you know, like that. It's just a no brainer to me when you're talking about team building. Anyways.

On today's show, we're going to go team by team through each NFC squad talking about everything we've seen recently and what it means going forward before we get into it here.

Want to remind everyone and let everyone know about the solver. This is a brand new company that we started to be clear on the solver. It is not related to ETR outside of the fact that many of us at ETR founded the solver.

It's a fantasy tools company. Our first two products are a DFS optimizer and a bankroll tracker for DFS. If you are an active established to run in season subscriber and you purchased a solver using that same email address, our projections will sink into the solver or you can bring your own projections in there, etc.

All right, Evan Arizona cardinals get into a somewhat predictable I think kind of wild game with the Vikings, the under Hopkins unstoppable.

I mean, wasn't even in the slot this week, a ton only 11 slots, that's where the under Hopkins, but he ran 53 routes on 53 Kyler Dropbacks.

The catches that he makes in traffic are absolutely insane. And I don't know if you saw this Evan. I think he actually went out and dunked on me.

He actually went on Twitter. And he said he could he quoted some some stat about him. And he said, you know, he gave the the salute sign or emoji or whatever it's called. And he said, I'm old. I can't do it anymore. I'm washed up. I'm 30.

I think he was talking to me. I think I think I think Andrew Hopkins listens to the podcast. But anyways, great game for Andrew Hopkins. I'm just about prepared to take my L here. What you see out of the card.

How humble of you to think that an NFL player is just constantly having you in his thoughts.

But no, I, I mean, I feel like he has a chance to age better than most receivers because his game is not necessarily built on speed and separation.
