NFL Free Agency Wednesday Recap: Assessing more Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson trade rumors + Winners/Losers as new league year opens (Football 3/17) Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Happy New Year! For the NFL, at least. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Tyler Sullivan ring in the holiday with tons of free agency analysis. The Raiders are making some perplexing decisions on their line, while the 49ers have made some nice moves to stabilize their OL. A.J. Green joins J.J. Watt as members of the memorable 2011 draft class to join the Cardinals, but how much will he be able to offer at this point in his career? Then, the guys hit the quarterbacks. All of Russell Wilson's "preferred" trade destinations no longer make a lot of sense, so what's next for Russ and the Seahawks? We also break down the never-ending Deshaun Watson rumors and why Carolina continues to stick out as a landing spot. Brinson, Wilson, Breech and Sullivan conclude the show by giving out their winners & losers for the day in the free agency.

NFL Free Agency Tuesday Recap: Andy Dalton to the Bears, Ryan Fitzpatrick to WFT and Jameis Winston back to the Saints (Football 3/16) Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Now, this is a special episode! Not only do we get an over-the-moon John Breech because his favorite quarterback ever has a new team, where he'll probably be the starter...But we also get the return of former Superfriend, Sean Wagner-McGough...That can only mean one thing: Andy Dalton has signed with the Chicago Bears! Will Brinson and Ryan WIlson are also along for the ride, but the pod belongs to Breech and Bleep. The guys offer a near-immediate reaction to the Dalton signing, plus other quarterback moves that have happened over the past 24 hours including Ryan Fitzpatrick heading to Washington and Jameis Winston returning to the Saints. What do these flurry of moves mean for Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson trade scenarios? The free agency recap continues with analysis on more big splashes from the Patriots with the addition of another high-priced tight end, Hunter Henry. We also cover Leonard Williams' deal with the Giants, questionable moves by the Bengals and losses by the Steelers. Finally, Brinson, Wilson and Breech dish out winners and losers from the first two days of the "legal tampering" period.

NFL Free Agency Monday Recap: Patriots spend wildly but lose Joe Thuney to the Chiefs (Football 3/15) Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Free agency has essentially hit the NFL. Sure we may be in the "legal tampering" period, but deals are still getting done so we bring in the Pick Six Superfriends for their reactions. The Patriots had a day unlike many other in their franchise history, spending on Matt Judon, Jonnu Smith, Jalen Mills and more. New England did lose a key piece as Joe Thuney signed with the Chiefs. The Bucs continue to bring guys back headlined by Shaq Barrett and Rob Gronkowski (who re-signed just after we finished recording). Much more free agency reaction to come this week!

Show notes

Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson for another edition of Mock Draft Monday with a bit of free agency news sprinkled in. Aaron Jones has agreed to a 4-year, $48m deal to stay with the Packers and our guys break it all down (5:30). Then, Brinson and Wilson shift focus to the draft with an eye on teams that could trade out of their current positions (10:00). The Dolphins are a prime candidate at #3 but who else could make a deal? Ryan also issues a 'Buyer Beware' label for a few players (34:30).

🚨Drew Brees retires from NFL after 20 seasons - Emergency Podcast (Football 3/14) Mar 14, 2021

Show notes

We had an inkling this decision was coming and now it's official (courtesy an Instagram post). Drew Brees has retired after 20 NFL seasons and 15 years with the New Orleans Saints. On this emergency podcast, Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson reflect on Brees' legendary career. Does he belong near the Brady/Manning discussion? Should he have won more than 1 Super Bowl? The Hall of Fame is certainly on the horizon, we know that. Brinson and Wilson also provide a lookahead for the Saints which now includes a crazy Taysom Hill deal and the possibility of a Jameis Winston return or even a trade.

Franchise Tag Deadline Reaction + Free Agency Mock Draft (Football 3/10) Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

The franchise tag deadline allows for the opportunity to react to both tags that were awarded and not awarded. Will Brinson and Cody Benjamin break down the guys who did get it (Chris Godwin, Allen Robinson, Justin Simmons, Taylor Moton, Leonard Williams, Brandon Scherff, Marcus Maye, Marcus Williams and Cam Robinson) and guys who didn't get it (Kenny Golladay, Hunter Henry, Bud Dupree, Chris Carson, Hasson Reddick, Aaron Jones, Shaquil Griffin, Karl Lawson, Jonnu Smith). What were the biggest surprises? Who has a good chance to get a long-term deal done with their current organization? Those answers on this episode (4:35). But that's not all! Brinson and Benjamin also go through Cody's Free Agency Mock Draft (29:30), with a fun and simple concept...Just pretend that all free agents were entered into the 2021 NFL Draft Order. So, you get the Dolphins targeting Aaron Jones at #3, the Eagles taking JuJu Smith-Schuster at #6 and the Bears correcting a QB mistake they made last year. Listen for a more in-depth breakdown of the FA Mock!

AFC West Offseason Priorities: Biggest Team Needs for Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers & Broncos (Football 3/9) Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Our offseason priority series is nearing its end as we shift focus to the AFC West on this episode. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech break down the needs of the Broncos (5:00), Chargers (15:45), Raiders (29:30) and Chiefs (37:45). Does Denver have a quarterback conundrum again? How far can Justin Herbert lead LA in Year 2? It's Year 2 in Las Vegas for the Raiders and they have their sights set on the playoffs but need some moves to get there. And Kansas City should always be in the mix with Patrick Mahomes, but could use upgrades in a few spots to end their season like they did in 2019 rather than 2020.
