And you go members will be doing the private Zoom Monday night.

I will be doing another podcast on Saturday.

I did not think I'd be doing this one.

But Terry McLaren is requested a trade, so I want to talk to you

for a few minutes about it just to discuss what's going on. And don't forget on Friday, they're

going to vote for the stadium bill. Should know that, hopefully around 1 o'clock-ish. So stay tuned

for that. We'll not be doing a podcast after that, but you should know what's taking place.

There will be multiple stories on

ESPN.com, especially if it passes. Anyways, the McLaren situation, you shouldn't be surprised

that this is a natural byproduct of a frustrated player in a frustrating situation. They are

not close at all. There's been zero momentum, and this is a way to help jumpstart the negotiations.

Players ask for trades all the time. How often do they get traded? Debo Samuel got traded, but it took a second request from the Niners.

His first one three years ago, they ignored it because it was coming up his pretty damn good season in 2021, and they weren't done with him.

They were done with him in January.

They agreed to trade him and they came here.
