Summary

Tiki and the crew hit the QB carousel chatter (Rodgers fatigue included), debate the real value of this year’s wide receiver buzz, and dig into whether Max Crosby trade smoke is actually real or just a Tom Brady conversation away from disappearing. Then the local angle heats up with Jets franchise tag talk for Breece Hall and why a transition tag makes way more sense than the non-exclusive tag. They also touch the new head coach era with John Harbaugh and Mike McCarthy at the podium, the “Mendoza mania” storyline that might be nothing, and the draft question that could define this class: will there be a second quarterback in Round 1, or are we staring at a rare one QB first round scenario? Finally, they get into Jeremiah Love and how high is too high for a running back, even if he’s a top tier talent.

If Evan laid down on the floor where the cart pushes on an airplane, somebody's filming it calling and they're having an emergency landing because they think he's either dying or crazy.

0:10.4

He cannot do that.

0:11.6

That's not how society works.

All right.

We've done a lot on the Jets and what their hopes are here at the Combine and what Aaron Glyn and Muzi have. We played some Joe Shane sound last hour. Go on the Odyssey app, rewind, check out the chapters there for all that's involved. Now, Tiki, this week is in the Combine. So more big picture stuff, not just the Giants, NFL. New York Post put out what they think going into this week with all the chatter at the Combine. the eight biggest storylines are here ahead of the NFL off season. Okay. So I want to play a game with you.

0:41.0

All right. Kind of, yeah, I care. I don't care. All right? So here are the storyline. Storyline number one. The quarterback carousel. Will Rogers retire or reunite with Mike McCarthy? Will Kyler Murray and Tua be released at huge dead calories? I mean, of course, yes. And do the Colts have a plan B for Daniel Jones? Overall, all the quarterback chatter. Yeah, the quarterback chatter is a big deal. Because look, there's those issues. Like, what is Arizona doing? New Mike LaFleur as head coach andiel Hackett as the offensive coordinator. Who's their quarterback next year? Is it going to stay Jacoby Berset? There's like, Russell Wilson? Or Russell Wilson? Like, no, no chance in hell. I sent you up for that. No chance in hell, is it Russell Wilson? But I can see them going and getting a Kurt Cousins, right? Because Marvin, they got some good talent. Marvin Harrison, their tight-ins pretty good. I forget his name now. Oh, Trey McBride. Try-McBride. He's been really good. So, like, they have some talent. If they had a quarterback, who knows what could happen. But, yes, I think those are the bigger overarching issues. but there's also some other ones like, what's the future of Matthew Stafford?

1:48.7

Yeah, yeah.

1:49.8

The Rams are in this window right now.

1:52.8

And it is closing.

1:54.1

Now, look, they won a Super Bowl, so it's okay.

1:56.4

But their chance to get another one, which not only is big for the Rams,

2:01.0

if Matt Stafford won another Super Bowl and after coming off an MVP season,

2:06.5

he's All of Hamer.

2:07.8

You're not even debated anymore.

2:10.4

And so I think there's those overarching ones that they mention.

2:15.4

But then I think there's actually some little ones too that you're not going to play as much attention to. So it could be a very interesting kind of week here as we set up all the contracts. Now, the one thing I will say about the quarterback carousel, man, I try to push this down the throat. The first name I mentioned there, I don't care what happens with Aaron Rogers and Michael Carpian Steelers. I don't either. Like I'm so over the hour. I'm over that story. Look, if he's a quarterback of the Steelers next year, that's fine.

2:38.2

Yeah. there, I don't care what happens with Aaron Rogers and Mike McCarthy and the Steelers. I don't either. Like, I'm so over the Aaron Rogers thing.

2:35.9

Look, if he's a quarterback of the Steelers next year, that's fine. Yeah, if he wins. If he goes and Mike McCarthy and the Steelers, they win 12 games. That becomes interesting. It becomes an interesting story. The band's back together. Right. But this offseason, what the Pittsburgh Steelers' futures like with Aaron Rogers, it's just, I don't care.

2:52.5

They look old and miserable in the year.

2:53.9

I'm not excited.

2:54.7

All right. together. But this offseason, what the Pittsburgh Steelers' futures like with Aaron Rogers,
