Summary
🔥 Description
Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down a wild stretch of Combine‑week news on The Audible, starting with the Texans trading for David Montgomery. What does that mean for Woody Marks, who was already battling for touches. Does Montgomery erase his fantasy value, or can Marks still carve out a role.
The Jets slapped the franchise tag on Breece Hall, officially locking him into New York for 2026. Fantasy managers dreaming of a change of scenery will have to wait — but how does staying with the Jets affect his usage, ceiling, and draft cost.
The Seahawks made waves by not tagging Kenneth Walker, sending one of the league's most explosive backs into free agency. Which teams could jump in — and do the Broncos make sense as a suitor. The guys explore scheme fits, fantasy fallout, and Walker's potential landing spots.
And then there's the quarterback drama in Minnesota. The Vikings are reportedly in the market for a new QB… so what does that mean for JJ McCarthy. Can they move him. What's his trade value. And who might take a chance on the former first‑rounder.

| 0:01.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome in. |
| 0:03.0 | It is the Audible. |
| 0:04.0 | Cecilami and Sigma Bloom here on Franchise Tag Deadline Day. Bloom, what are we going to call it? What are we going to call it is? Breece Hall, sorry, fantasy GMs. Brise Hall's staying with the Jets. We're going to get into a lot of the news who got tagged, who didn't get tagged, What's it mean for fantasy GMs? |
| 0:20.4 | But the decision a lot of teams are waiting for, |
| 0:23.0 | Breece Hall would have been the number one running. tagged who didn't get tagged what's it mean for fantasy GMs but the decision a lot of teams are |
| 0:22.4 | waiting for breese hall would have been the number one running back available in free agency |

| 0:33.2 | franchise tag placed on brees hall on tuesday yeah I don't think he's going to be available. |

| 1:16.6 | and he's going to be stuck there. |
| 1:18.6 | So it's a bummer for fantasy for him because you're still not in, and for people that have him on their fantasy teams, |
| 1:25.6 | because you're still not in an offense that is |
| 1:28.1 | at all conducive to production. However, what it does do for the market, like you said, C's is now |
