Summary
Day two of NFL free agency in the 2024 offseason gave us a bit of a breather, but not much of one. Brian Burns is a Giant! Derrick Henry is a Raven! Aaron Jones is a Viking! Not literally, of course, but in a football sense. Plus, the Patriots and Commanders made a ton of moves, the Dolphins got on the board, and the Lions further shored up their defense. Robert Mays and Nate Tice break it all down on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.

| 0:00.0 | This is the athletic football show. |
| 0:15.4 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:17.7 | I'm Robert Mays, joining me today. |
| 0:19.3 | It's my good friend Nate Tyson. |
| 0:20.3 | How you doing, buddy? Doing well. Day two. Day two. Shug it along. Chugging along. Day two. And like day one night. |
| 0:29.4 | Yeah. That's always the challenge with this is when you cut it off at a certain time, |
| 0:34.4 | you're always going to miss stuff. And we heard the rumblings about the |
| 0:37.5 | Brian Burns trade before we stopped recording yesterday. But then inevitably, the actual trade |
| 0:42.4 | happens like 40 minutes after we stop. So it's just kind of a never-ending scooping of the |
| 0:47.6 | news over this week. There's just a running document that exists on our computer that we're just |
| 0:52.7 | throwing stuff in. So they all blend |
| 0:54.8 | together day one into day two, show one into show two, but still a lot of stuff today. I will say |
| 1:00.6 | mercifully, not at the same clip that was happening yesterday. It was very hard to keep track and |
| 1:05.6 | organize everything that was going down yesterday. So I'm happy that the foot has been let off |
| 1:10.6 | the gas a little bit, |
| 1:12.2 | which naturally happens. You know, we had so many guys fly off the board. There's so many, |
| 1:16.6 | only so many left. So the pace was always going to slow down. But I'm very happy. As I'm getting |
| 1:21.8 | older, it's easier to operate at this kind of steady clip compared to what we were doing yesterday. |
| 2:00.9 | This was expectations. I'm not going to lie compared to yesterday. Reality was yesterday of how this goes. Today was how I expected the pace of this all to go. Very capture saw him go, oh, okay, what now? Oh, there's only a couple guys there. Okay, you might resign. Oh, it's between two teams. That's easy to figure it out, as opposed to, you know, now we've got guys going on visits. Now there's enough time to digest the moves as they happen. Rather than just clicking down to the next one and typing it in, it's like, oh, so-and-so signed here. What do I think about that? And I actually have room to breathe and consider that for a minute. |
| 2:07.4 | So hopefully we'll be able to provide a little bit more context and a little bit more analysis to these today than we could have yesterday. Let's start with that big kind of bombshell move that happened yesterday evening. |
| 2:12.6 | And that is Brian Burns getting traded to the Giants. |
| 2:15.5 | The Giants send a 24 second and a 2025 fifth to Carolina. |
