Summary
The first week of free agency is in the books, and Conor and Gary are ready to overreact to all of it:
*A look at the quarterback signings: why Bears fans are rightfully bummed about Andy Dalton, why Washington is doing just fine with Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Dolphins get a steal in Jacoby Brissett, and Mitchell Trubisky finds a good home in Buffalo.
*As Gary has been saying since the beginning of time, free agency was a bummer for many good young receivers this offseason. But Kenny Golladay gives the Giants exactly what they need for Daniel Jones as their QB enters Year 3.
*Plus, the Jon Gruden era for the Raiders takes another strange turn, the Titans remake their defense, the Chiefs find reinforcements for the offensive line, the Patriots spend big on some nice fits, and the Jets are the undisputed champions of free agency.

| 0:41.5 | quarterback So let's let's really go against the grain here. |
| 0:44.5 | You know, it's been the Russell Wilson's |
| 0:48.8 | and the Matthew Saffers. |
| 0:50.4 | Those guys have sort of headlined the off season here. The guys who |
| 0:54.5 | moved in free agency here teams found answers specifically Chicago and |
| 0:59.4 | Washington for 2021. Maybe not the answers you were looking for. |

| 1:08.6 | and a lot of people are saying, oh, |

| 1:11.5 | It's like, oh, couldn't get Russell. |
