| 0:08.4 | Me and Mike Sando breaking down the 2024 trade deadline. |
| 0:13.4 | Got some moves, right? |
| 0:15.3 | Wasn't completely lifeless in the way that it has been in some previous years. |
| 0:20.3 | Mike and I talked a little bit about that, maybe why some teams are a little bit more willing to make moves at the deadline than they were in the past. And it makes for a more exciting time. So Darius Smith going to Browns talked about that, Marshaun and Latimer going to Washington. And pretty much what was the most impactful biggest news of the day. A couple smaller moves. |
| 0:37.9 | You know, |
| 0:38.0 | the Steelers getting a little bit of depth at some spots. |
| 0:40.7 | The Bengals adding a running back. |
| 0:42.5 | Jonathan Mingo going to the Cowboys, |
| 0:44.2 | which inspired some conversation about where the Cowboys actually are |
| 0:48.4 | as we get to the trade deadline here. |
| 0:50.4 | Very much enjoyed talking about all of that stuff with Mike. |

| 1:07.3 | I wanted to ask you, you've done this for a long time, and you've covered many a trade deadline. We've gotten a lot more movement over the last couple of years than we got, even like five years ago, but especially 10 or 15 years ago. What does the trade deadline in the NFL feel like currently compared to what it felt like when you first started covering the week? |
| 1:26.6 | Yeah, way more teams are open to doing, to moving things off their roster that really aren't that big of a deal. In a lot of cases, sometimes we're seeing a lot more like, hey, we'll do a late round pick swap or we're going to trade a guy. You know, Tradavis White doesn't work out. But, you know, rather than cut them, that kind of, we kind of look bad if we cut them or whatever, you know, let's, let's find a way. Let's find a way to do something. Can I get anything? Can I get any sort of a thing out of, out of these deals? So I think there's just way more, there's way more non-important, smaller deals that kind of make sense. I mean, you know, |
