March in the NFL has come in like a lion and really hasn't let up so far.

0:05.8

Today I did seven different podcasts covering all the biggest news from earlier today.

0:10.4

So if you're just seeing this episode, go back and listen to the others.

0:13.3

They're only about five minutes long.

0:15.1

It'll get you caught up on an initial reaction to these big free agency signings and, of course, the Michael Pittman trade as well. But he did wanna tie a bow on today. I'm not gonna do an individual episode for each of these moves, but I do wanna at least provide some context for the biggest moves of the day that I haven't covered in the other episodes. So we're gonna rip through these really quickly, just to give you some context. We're gonna to start with Travis Kelsey, as expected. He's sticking with the chiefs. Honestly, my brain would break

0:42.6

seeing him in any other uniform. And I mean, why mess with a good thing? You know, I've said this

0:48.5

numerous times about Kelsey. Last year, really, it wasn't a good year for him. But for him,

0:53.9

for any other tight end, it was an amazing year.

0:57.1

He can still be a top 10 fantasy producer.

1:02.9

He's up there in age, but he can still be very, very productive for the Kansas Sea Chiefs.

1:07.0

And as of right now, their receiver core is really light. So he should just continue to be a

1:12.1

high volume target and all indications now are that Patrick Mahomes going to be ready for the start

1:16.8

of the season. Obviously, they made a big move with Kenneth Walker. I talked about that in an earlier

1:21.4

podcast. Let's move to the Falcons. The Falcons agreed to terms with Tua Tunga Vailoa. It's a one-year deal because, duh,

1:30.6

Tua is going to get paid from the Dolphins, so you give him a one-year veteran minimum.

1:35.6

This is an interesting deal. It doesn't indicate that Tua is going to be the starter,

1:40.7

but he almost certainly will be the starter to start the season now. Michael Pennix Jr.

1:44.8

obviously is recovering from injury, probably a pup candidate. So that means at least a month

1:50.0

with Tua under center in that Kevin Stefansky offense, obviously new look offense there

1:55.8

for the Atlanta Falcons. You keep a lefty, which to me makes some sense, but the thing I do have to call out, and I've
