Summary
Just 2 days away from the start of the season! On this episode Will Brinson is joined by Jonathan Jones to discuss some of the hottest storylines from around the league. Cam Newton is without a team after being cut last week as the guys evaluate what the future holds for someone who was presumed to be a Week 1 starter less than a month ago (6:30). Brinson and JJ also address the Texans officially naming Tyrod Taylor their starter and how the Deshaun Watson situation could continue to play out (13:30). A story that's flying under the radar? TJ Watt potentially sitting out Week 1 in the middle of a contract dispute. JJ says it's a very real possibility (27:00). Finally, the Ravens have extended Mark Andrews but are in search of a running back (34:00).
