Deebo scrubs the IG, Flores suit adds plaintiffs, Brady's Dolphins dalliance & rookie WR tiers Apr 08, 2022

Show notes

The daily NFL soap opera continues with in a way befitting of the Gen Z & Millennial era: with a player removing all mentions of his current team from his Instagram profile. Yes, that's what Deebo Samuel was up to this Thursday, in a move likely to make 49er fans light their hair on fire with anxiety.

Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo Fantasy expert Matt Harmon onto the podcast to chat about what's going on with Deebo in San Francisco, as he is yet another wide receiver due to receive a monstrous new contract in the coming year.

Charles later dives into new developments spurring out of the Brian Flores lawsuit. First, former Cardinals HC Steve Wilks and Titans DC Ray Horton added their names to the class action suit against the NFL and multiple clubs. Simultaneously, new audio was discovered of former Titans coach Mike Mularkey revealing that his promotion to head coach at the club skirted the league's Rooney Rule.

Another interesting story is the report that the Dolphins may have promised Tom Brady an ownership stake in the team in an apparent move to lure the QB to Miami this offseason in a deal that ultimately never came to pass. Charles explains why he believes the reports.

Finally, the guys turn their focus to the 2022 NFL draft. Matt breaks down his tiers in the wide receiver class & why he believes five wideouts will go in the first round.

Another Washington scandal, Kraft fires shots at Belichick & that wild Eagles-Saints pick swap Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

The Washington Commanders continue to make headlines for all the wrong reasons, this time after allegations that the franchise was withholding ticket income from the NFL's revenue sharing program among its 32 clubs. It's just another day in Dan Snyder's Washington.

Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo's Frank Schwab onto the podcast, kicking off the episode with these latest allegations & why financial improprieties like this could somehow, finally, maybe be the thing that forces Snyder to sell the team.

Next, Charles & Frank talk about some comments New England Patriots owner made about the teams recent postseason performance and successes (or lack thereof) in the draft. Is he firing shots at coach Bill Belichick? And what sort of success should the Patriots realistically expect after the incredible twenty-year run led by Tom Brady? (18:30)

Later, the guys talk about the epic trade between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints that saw eight total future draft picks get swapped. Why are the Saints stockpiling in 2022 while the Eagles are taking the long-view and looking ahead to the 2023 and 2024 draft? (35:20)

After that, Charles & Frank debate the ballooning salaries for wide receivers, as A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf and Deebo Samuel will all likely land monster contracts in the next year. Should rebuilding teams like the Seattle Seahawks dole out large salaries to skill players while their QB position remains a large question mark? (43:25)

Finally, the guys close out the show on Jim Harbaugh arranging for Colin Kaepernick to throw during last weekend's Michigan Wolverines spring game. Did an appearance like this move the needle towards a Kaepernick return to the NFL? (54:00)

The conspiracy theory behind Bruce Arians' retirement, Bobby Wagner to LA & Edholm's latest mock draft Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a completely normal and not at all strange offseason. After losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, Tom Brady abruptly retired on a Saturday, then un-retired six weeks later on the eve of free agency. Then on Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arians announced his surprise retirement, to be succeeded by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.

Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo Sports' Eric Edholm to react to this week's bombshell news and ask the question: could these events be somehow related? Did an underlying issue stemming from Antonio Brown's sudden banishment from the Bucs drive a wedge between Brady & Arians — and how does it relate to the Brian Flores lawsuit in Miami? Charles has the tin foil hat and all the answers.

Later in the podcast, the guys respond to the news that free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner signed with the aforementioned Super Bowl champion Rams, who continue to stockpile star players on both sides of the ball.

In the second half of the show, Eric rolls through the top 10 on his latest mock draft and Charles dives into Eric's predictions as they discuss the Jaguars' first pick, where some rookie wideouts may land & whether Carolina or Seattle would be first to draft a QB.

Why the Tyreek Hill trade to Miami symbolizes the tough offseasons in Kansas City, Green Bay & Dallas Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

The seismic 2022 NFL offseason trucks along with even more shocking trades. On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs traded star wideout Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a slew of five future draft picks. Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo Sports' Frank Schwab onto the podcast to react to the second massive WR trade in as many weeks and what this means for the Chiefs, the Dolphins and the league as a whole.

Later, they talk about some other free agency head-scratchers including the Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys & Carolina Panthers — as well as a handful of other transactions that hadn't made it into podcast discussion like Mitchell Trubisky to the Pittsburgh Steelers and La'el Collins to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Charles breaks the news live on the episode that a second grand jury in Texas declined to indict Deshaun Watson, who the Cleveland Browns just acquired in a blockbuster trade. The guys close out the show discussing how stories like the Watson allegations and Colin Kaepernick's continued banishment from the league will be top of mind at the NFL owners' meetings this weekend in Florida.

Show notes

Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel onto the first hour of the podcast, reacting to last week's trade of Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns. There's a lot to discuss behind this deal: the trade compensation itself, the massive fully guaranteed contract Watson signed afterwards, what's next for the 22 civil cases filed against Watson. Charles & Dan look at this deal from all angles as the shockwaves from this trade still continue to reverberate through the league.

Later in the show, the guys talk about what may be next for Baker Mayfield, what led to Matt Ryan's trade to the Indianapolis Colts, take one final jab at Urban Meyer & close out the discussion pondering the Kansas City Chiefs' free agency.

Free Agency-palooza, Part II: Baker's Cleveland meltdown, fake Watson trades, Von secures the bag in Buffalo Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

The first week of the 2022 NFL free agency period continues its descent into the twilight zone. A week feels like a month. A month feels like a year. It's been the weirdest league year ever and it's only been in existence for 50something hours.

Charles Robinson is joined by Josh Norris of Underdog Fantasy to recap the latest wild stories from this week, starting off with the apparent irreconcilable differences between Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns.

Later they explore the three teams Deshaun Watson has reportedly narrowed his interest to: the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. Each has their own pros and cons as a landing spot for the QB. Josh & Charles explain why each scenario might work. (18:30)

DISCLAIMER: This podcast was recorded hours before ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Carolina would be out of the running for Watson.

Finally, the guys close out the show breaking down Von Miller securing the bag in Buffalo for a reported 6-year deal and Allen Robinson joining the Los Angeles Rams stacked receiving corps. (48:45)

Free Agency-palooza, Part I: Brady's back, Gregory's flip-flop on Dallas & the four teams vying for Watson Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NFL league year hasn't technically begun, yet the unofficial start to free agency has been wild. Remember Tom Brady? He's back. The Jacksonville Jaguars? They broke the bank for Christian Kirk. Deshaun Watson? Seems like he could be traded any minute now.

Charles Robinson welcomes The Athletic's Robert Mays onto the podcast to discuss the absolutely bonkers first few days of free agency. What happened between Randy Gregory and the Dallas Cowboys to make him spurn his initial deal in order to sign with the Denver Broncos instead? Which four teams seem most likely to land Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson? And which teams won the first hours of free agency?

Charles & Robert discuss all those topics and more on today's episode. Keep it subscribed to the podcast; later in the week Charles will return with more free agency analysis.

Blockbuster Wilson, Wentz, Mack trades set in motion the lead-up to free agency Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

When it was reported that Aaron Rodgers would be staying in Green Bay on Tuesday morning, you may have thought that would have been the biggest NFL story of the week. And boy, how you would have been mistaken.

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to the three major trades this week, all in the lead-up to free agency on today's podcast. Starting off in the AFC West, the guys talk about how the Denver Broncos trade for Russell Wilson came together & the west coast arms race that led the Los Angeles Chargers to trade for Khalil Mack a few days later. But can either team dethrone Kansas City?

In the NFC, the Washington Commanders traded for former Colts QB Carson Wentz in a mostly head-scratching move as Wentz has been one of the most frustrating players in football the last few seasons. The guys talk about the lack of a trade market for Wentz & what Indianapolis does next now that they've re-entered the QB wilderness.

Finally, Charles & Frank talk about some of the big free agents who will look to be signed by new teams next week including Allen Robinson, Bobby Wagner, Terron Armstead, J.C. Jackson, and very likely, Amari Cooper.

Combine Takeaways, Part II: Thibodeaux falling, Georgia's D-Line, OT debate & Kenny Pickett vs. Malik Willis Mar 06, 2022

Show notes

Charles Robinson & Eric Edholm wrap up their thoughts from the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis after a weekend full of insane 40-yard dashes, skipped 3-cone drills & forgone bench presses.

Before they get into any of the incoming rookie evaluations from Lucas Oil Stadium, Charles & Eric open the podcast reflecting on the reports that the Dallas Cowboys are likely to release star WR Amari Cooper at the start of the league season. Charles explains how the Cowboys' cap situation led to this and why this likely means Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz are staying in Big D.

Diving into the combine, Eric talks about some mishaps behind the scenes that caused the RB group to miss a few drills & why this may or may not be the final combine in Indianapolis. (10:45)

Later, Eric & Charles talk about Jordan Davis and the insane Georgia Bulldogs defensive line making an impact at this year's combine & the three offensive tackles at the top of most draft boards: Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu and Charles Cross. (25:00)

Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux was considered to be a likely candidate for the first overall pick for most of the 2021 season. The guys explain why that may not come to pass and the reasons for his current draft stock slide. (39:40)

Charles & Eric close out the podcast discussing two of the top QBs on NFL draft boards in Kenny Pickett & Malik Willis before wrapping up the show setting the stage for the opening of NFL free agency in one week's time. (50:15)
