0:00.0 | Sam Darnold, Aaron Rogers, who are two guys who used to play for the Jets that are now slated |
0:14.1 | to be free agents in just a couple of weeks. |
0:17.2 | We're going to talk about where those two might wind up and maybe how much money |
0:22.0 | they're going to make. Darnold, more than Rogers for sure. Meanwhile, guys who are set to |
0:26.8 | begin their professional careers at the quarterback position, Shador Sanders and Cam Ward, our guy, |
0:31.6 | Lance Zerline, going to join us in a couple of minutes for his mock draft 1.0 to tell us where he thinks these guys might wind up. |

1:33.8 | Super Bowl. And I don't know how because he had suffered torn triceps. He had surgery this week. He's |
1:40.3 | going to miss, obviously, the offseason program, but the expectation is that he's going to be ready for the start of the season. |
