Summary

Sheil, Steven, and Diante get together to discuss all of the high-profile moves that happened during the NFL’s official tampering period ahead of the start of free agency this week. They begin their conversation by talking about some of the teams and players who have already done the most to improve their status. After the break, they shine a light on some of the more disappointing moves that happened over the weekend, and talk about ways those entities can eventually right their ship (24:37). Finally, the crew scans the rest of trades and signings around the league and debates whether they were ultimately good deals or bad deals (56:28). The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
