Sheil, Steven, and Diante start the pod by discussing DK Metcalf’s request to be traded from the Seattle Seahawks and debating the most optimal landing spot for the star wide receiver. They then dissect some of the latest player moves around the NFL, including big news on Maxx Crosby, Joe Thuney, and Zack Baun (30:37).
