[Applause] [Applause] Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum ladies and gentlemen welcome to another Edition so many people asked me where that came from I have no idea where it came from I just I don’t know I think like one of my nephews or nieces were singing like yoh
Ho in a bottle of rum for some reason and then I just sort of Incorporated it into my entire existence on social media in case anyone was interested in the origin story but hey dude it’s free agency frenzy day three in fact the actual free agency is going to be
Occurring here in just an hour when all of these players and all of these moves that have been alleged quote unquote we all know the’re real will be official in just an hour so once again getting my rag tag team of good old buddies over at
The Huddle man we have quite a bit to talk about today TD fins talk live from Houston Atlanta Vegas what up man I’m good man I’m good here we are day three of the tampering period um and yes you’re right free agency is actually about to kick off today officially you
Know there’ll be a lot of U moves being made there’s some stuff that’s happening in the NFL right now again I’m excited to talk about every day um but let’s get into let’s get in the Huddle damn Richie mura what up dude that’s me I’m feeling good the Jets made
A big trade today that Jets fans are very excited about big time Big Time trade excited to break it down on this show welcome back to the New York Jets Morgan Moses Mike Williams got released there’s a lot of things heating up in the NFL World shout out to everybody
Tuning in right now in the chat hit that thumbs up button and jets fans let me know if you’re representing smash that like button and comment let’s go jets in the live chat let’s get things going we need to pump TD up man I don’t like to
See his energy has been down all week his energy has been down he’s not the same I feel like he’s just all right listen he’s he’s calling in remotely he’s not in his office and I mean I’ll tell you one thing I would have to agree
I’m not the same person when I call in remotely I need to be in my space that’s where my energy is that’s where my zen is is that what it is CD or is the Christian Wilkins thing still just eating you alive the Christian Wilkins thing was
Never eating me alive um I’m all good with that situation um you know I’m just um I think I’m at a stage in my life where it’s time for me to be humble you know when you know that your team is about to win a Super Bowl you just take
A seat back and you just like you know humble yourself and let it happen don’t jinx it you know no I’m good man um I’m I’m traveling right now I’m on the road stream um but outside of that man I’m just waiting on you know my team to actually
Make a big splash I think there’s only one team I’m waiting on my team to make a real big splash well I gotta ask Dan a lot of questions about that Jord yeah man yeah no no no no we’re uh we’re super excited you know what we have several topics
That we wanted to go over today folks Houston Texans making noise Dallas Cowboys doing nothing and then of course puyer and Miami and San Neil as well solid special teamer over there free agency winners losers free agency frenzy quite a bit but you know what we might
As well just go on ahead and just T we also have spontaneous stuff that we weren’t able to plan the Jets trade we got to talk about right that happened we do by the way and first off is it that big of a deal I saw some fool on Twitter say biblical
Proportions offensive line I swear to God I swear to God some account some account it was called around the NFL it said a trade of biblical proportions I was just like homie it’s a right tackle all right Richie you know what start off and tell
Us about this trade I know you want to talk to us about this trade what’s going on right tackle out of Baltimore returning to the New York Jets allegedly biblical proportions what’s going on allegedly yeah that’s idiotic but that’s what I say the reality is the Jets had
No offensive line we did not have a tackle on the roster starting level tackle so we needed to make this move I mean what is what is this guy talking about the Jets heading into you know free agency we had two starters on the offensive line and now we signed John
Simpson on Monday okay now we have three starters now we just traded for Morgan Moses we’re going somewhere we got four starters now there’s one last hole to fill and that’s left tackle so that’s a big move this is a guy who was with the Jets in 2021 he understands Robert solz
Philosophy as a head coach he knows what it’s like to be a jet he is a solid 33-year-old veteran the Jets give up just a sixth round pick and then moving back in the fourth round for a $5.5 million cap hit absolute really good move for the New York Jets this is
Somebody that’s solid he’s a former Captain when is with this time in Washington this is a guy that you can rely on in the Run game and pass protection just a solid player that the Jets need right we need to build out this offensive line is a gigantic
Weakness and this is a big move for the New York Jets I mean Jets fans are really scratching their heads thinking to themselves where is our offensive line help like we need it everyone knows that Aaron Rogers needs his help we need to get this offensive line figured out
And we did trading for Morgan Moses and the next position is going to be left tackle the question is will that be David bakari will it be Tyron Smith or will we get our left tackle in uh the NFL draft and then of course the Jets are
Still going to make a big splash at wide receiver the question is who will it be we wait and see that is inevitable the question is who so does this change your draft strategy because yesterday you were talking about how important right tackle was Moses obviously that void are
Y’all going elsewhere at number so now say say we get David bakari or say we get Tyron Smith then we could start talking about Brock Bowers then we can start talking about Brian Thomas then we can start talking about andun in terms of playmaker at that first round spot or
Even trading back is another option for the Jets at number 10 um because I would still like like as of right now getting joe Al or ALU fashanu at left tackle would be huge because we don’t have a left tackle right now Makai beckon is a free agent he’s walking he’s not coming
Back and our you know rookie last year from in the fourth round Carter Warren is slid in at left tackle right now he’s should not be our starting left tackle we’re going to fill in that void he’s a swing tackle he needs to be our backup
Heading into the season so as of right now Dan I’m still holding it down need an off to tackle a 10 but if we sign bakari or we sign Tyron Smith and we add more depth then it’s going to start with the Jets fans you’ll hear Brock Bower’s
Name you’ll hear adun you’ll hear all these Playmakers and that’s when the draft strategy will change now it’s going to be very important as well because protecting Tyrod Taylor is going to be so important as Aaron Rogers becomes vice presidential candidate for the independence ticket I was joking
Around and I was saying you know what wouldn’t that be the most Jets thing on the face of the planet and the Most Aaron Rogers thing as well meeting together rewind two years ago young little kid and so that kid that loves ice cream over at the Jets he’s like oh
My god dude we have Aaron Rogers as our quarterback unfortunately little man only sees him have three snaps fast forward to the following off seon he says Hey folks listen I’m sorry I’m gonna have to step away I have to serve my country and be vice president to RFK
And start drafting my micro doing school lunches to help kids with further educational development bill I need to be the face of that Richie what’s going on with the Rogers thing do you think that he drops out of the New York Jets to potentially run for vice president
Absolutely not I mean I mean it’s ridiculous the amount of times that I’ve seen Aaron rogers’s name in the news and then all I and I’ve learned I’ve learned myself I’m not taking any of this seriously until I hear from Aaron himself okay that’s how I look at it I’m
Waiting to hear from Aaron Rogers and hey it’s no secret he is a huge supporter of Robert Kennedy Jr right he’s always been with him he’s always been locked him and ory Marcus are always supporting him so the fact that he’ be VP it’s interesting it’s not
Shocking but I don’t think this takes anything away like he’s not retiring to do anything like that that’s at least in my opinion he’s committed to the Jets he took a pay cut with the Jets he said literally a week ago that he is going to
Be playing two to three or four more years all of a sudden oh I’m just going to drop out and just be a you know VP it’s not happen even if he is the VP he’s still going to be playing for the Jets so right now he’s in Costa Rica
With Jordan puyer doing his little iosa retreat okay so he’s plugged he’s unplugged right now with Jordan puyer and I think Von Miller is there I think Jordan puyer had this I was looking at Jordan pu’s Instagram and he’s really you know an advocate for this plant medicine which I thought was interesting
And I saw a picture of Aaron I was like oh look that’s where Aaron Rogers is that’s why we’re not hearing from him he’s blasted off he’s in uh Costa Rica right now having some fun so until I hear from Aaron Rogers himself I’m not talking about this and there’s a reason
Why you see jets Twitter like overreacted like oh blah like I haven’t said a peep about this for a reason like I haven’t to peep about this for a reason because like I’m not going to talk about this until I hear from Aaron himself about what’s actually going on
Because there’s not one ounce of worry in my brain right now TD Richie Richie doesn’t want to talk about it because their life has just ended right in front of their eyes Aaron Rodgers is on a Darkness Retreat right now and ladies and gentlemen you never
Know what happens when he comes out of those Retreats he goes into to those retreats to get answers to get answers and he’s in the darkness Retreat it’s not a Darkness Retreat this time ah he’s in whatever Retreat and he’s just since then and he’s just like should I play football
Even though I’m washed and it exposes me or should I run for VP which brings me in a positive light oh Darkness or whatever Retreat give me the answer Bing he running he running Richie he about to be he about to be a vice vice presidential candidate and guess what’s
Goingon to happen the Jets are gonna draft a quarterback they gonna be seven no they they’re gonna be like seven and seven with three games left the presidential nomination gonna be over and Aaron Rogers gonna be knocking on the Jets door with three games left can
I come back in I can go three and 0 to get in the playoffs that’s what’s going to happen that’s exactly what’s going to happen it’s over ladies and gentlemen Jets fans you got a president candidate on your hand and I know you’re not gonna vote for him because you’re gonna um he
Gonna leave you high and dry sorry Richie you need to address this for Jet’s fans Richie stop saying you’re not gonna talk about it until you hear from him I talked about it on my show this morning and I’m just not addressing on social media dude dude dude just think
Of the smear campaigns that like Trump would run against him You’ be like that Aaron roggers and he only lasted three snaps I would have lasted 15 I promise you that he’s weak dude holy hell man no oh man that four plays you’ve never seen before Oh
Gosh wiggling trust me all right anyway the washed quarterback oh man um you have welcomed some um some former Buffalo Bills to your roster Jordan puer San Neil um adding into it haven’t really caught up with what you’ve been putting on Twitter as of late but what are your initial
Thoughts thoughts on puyer I’m obviously here for for any questions go ahead well I I need to know first what am I getting um let me tell you what man I soon as would it happened dude I saw a lot of bills fans on Twitter like being
Like Oh my God he’s a traitor he’s betraying he’s Etc blah blah blah um I wholeheartedly disagree with that man that guy gave us you know seven years of elite play um he’s definitely getting there up like he’s definitely getting up there in age I will tell you him and
Javon Holland I think that you guys probably have the best safety tandem in the league right now because I still think that Jordan puyer has quite a bit left uh wasn’t necessarily as ball hawkish as he was in years past but he’s still like a really good run Defender um
Some people might come out and say that he’s a bit of an arm tackler and so every now and again so he’s Boomer bust there’s like one or two plays where uh sometimes he does get G but for the most part dude he still has a lot a lot of
Gas left in the tank I think that he’s going to be very good down in Miami especially with him and Javon Holland to be completely honest with you I have nothing but love for puyer I hope that he continues to have a wonderful career I just hope he sucks when we play the
Buffalo Bills no no no no when we when the Bills play the Miami Dolphins I hope he has like the worst two games of his season that year but otherwise I’m wishing nothing but the best as far as San Neil incredible special teamer so special teams was anything that was a
Concern of you he’s a really solid plug-and-play special teams guy um solid depth in your secondary as well so poer um the numbers suggest he’s starting to slip in coverage um you agree with that or yeah but here’s the thing right I mean mikah Hyde was like hit or miss so
He’s large like his his play is largely determinative of who is next to him I I think with Javon Holland being next to him I think that you’re going to see a slight uptick you’re not going to get like an all pro year by any stretch of the imagination but his game is
Typically elevated as he as he’s been getting older depending on who is next to him so I think with Javon Holland being next to him you should see a pretty solidary production for the guy so in other words our secondary um our safeties are the best in the league and
Our secondary is the best um in this division pretty much so we good to go that sounds like a Super Bowl to me um but listen do you remember what we were saying the other day that safeties don’t matter but continue stop stop stop I mean who cares about safeties they don’t
Matter when you got a corner that holds on every play so that’s when they don’t matter but anyway you go your football knowledge coming to the surface acting like a [ __ ] what else is new continue my my thing with puyer is this Dan I get nervous when Buffalo wouldn’t even keep
It for $2 million okay you know Buffalo wouldn’t keep him from2 million doll unless you tried to and he didn’t didn’t want to go there he wanted to be in Miami cuz he’s good friends with Tua um I’m going to wait to see how this one turns out because the truth of the
Matter is the Miami Dolphin fans don’t even know what type of system we’re gonna run this year we have no clue what we’re gonna be doing with Anthony Weaver coming in but I do like the tandem I’m just a little bit skeptical because the Dolphins are good at bringing players in
That have played well for a long time and then right when we bring them in they start their decline it’s almost like come to Miami so you can start your retire ir and I’m hoping that’s not the case I’m hoping that we could squeeze the last good bit of juice out of the
Out of the fruit and get what we can from him I’m not really Riding High as far as high expectations but I’m gonna try to be optimistic I just I mean $2 million I don’t care how old you are that basically says you know we don’t
View you as that dude but you know you can contribute that’s what that that’s what that means to me so um time will tell um I’m just I’m going be honest I’m a little down with my team because Revelations are starting to come out all over the place with the reality
That the goal is a Super Bowl for anyone bro the goal is a Super Bowl I know there’s a lot of casual fans that just want to compete I I get all of that but everybody should at the end of the day want to win a Super Bowl and I don’t
Know if I feel like we’ve gotten any closer now if we could stay healthy maybe that could prove to be a difference scario but I’m I’m also built into where injuries are a part of the game and you can expect the unexpected there should every team there’s a level
Of injuries that will happen it’s inevitable it’s just a matter of where they happen when they happen and timeline so I I’m I’m I’m hoping that we can make a few more moves that could put us closer to where we were last year I just don’t see it because we’re bringing
In a whole bunch of situational players pyer can definitely help us I think more than anything he could help our offense he could help tell us what does Buffalo like to do against us what looks do they like to show you know against us and he
Can give us that inside scoop on this is our this is what we hold our hat on this is how we feel like we can confuse your quarterback and then we could build off of that so that’s what I’m hoping that he brings to the table I’ve already made
It known we paid him $2 million as a spy it’s that simp simple inside information interesting all right boys as far as some teams that have been making some noise yesterday we were discussing like winners like teams that are really making an impact in free agency but I
Feel like not one of us mentioned the Houston Texans and the Houston Texans are going all in they are going all in I think that they pretty much I mean really just based off of free agency by itself the draft is around the corner
But I mean it’s it’s hard for me not to make Houston the unanimous AFC South Champions right now all right with Hunter first off going into it by the way them bringing in Hunter for me was definitely like a cherry on top of their pass rush because you have Will Anderson
Jr you have another defensive end both of them were like top five top three in pass rush now you insert hunter in there you get Joe Mixon for literally pennies for a damn you know seventh round pick going into it Houston Texans making noise does this move the needle for them
Going into the 2024 season would you consider them to be a Super Bowl contending team Richie talk to me yeah um real quick breaking Jets news we freaking brought our pter back baby Thomas morstead is back with the Jets two-year deal worth up to $5 million this was inevitable just a matter of
Time the Jets locked down our kicker and lock down our punter two of the best in the NFL welcome back Thomas morstead uh but yes Houston Texans they are definitely one of the winners in free agency for me they are building around their Young quarterback they are going
All in adding Hunter to go along with Will Anderson getting joe Mixon for a seventh round pick the Texans are here to make noise nobody expected the Texans to do anything last year now it’s the opposite all the expectations is going to be on the Houston Texans so that’s
Where I’m looking at them are they going to be able to step up right are they going to be able to actually uh level up their game and be an improved team can they win the division again are they going to be able to go up against these
Top tier teams right can they actually beat the Jets like they look trash against them last year only time we’ll tell King Losi is in the chat King lski so and SOI asked earlier what classroom you sitting in today DD anyway TD talk about the tit uh uh
Let me hear about the Texans are they Super Bowl contenders with all these moves going into 2024 they’re contenders I don’t want to say Super Bowl contenders but they’re just general contenders you know anything can happen but I don’t see them as a top three favorite still but man oh
Man have they climbed the ranks I mean I feel like they they’re putting a grip hold on a Division and the only thing that could derail them is if CJ stra start getting massages that’s about it so I think that they’re doing a great job in free agency taking advantage of a
Quarterback who they already deem is a franchise quarterback but they get the luxury of knowing that early and putting everything around them for the next three to four years while they can afford it and when do you go after it in moments like that now these are the
Windows you do it can he pull a Joe burrow can he have a early career Super Bowl appearance I don’t know but time will tell but let me say this the Jags are still there there and and I think that that scare you though no it’s not that it’s the fact that
There’s one player in the balance right now that could change all of that uhhuh the the wide receiver situation you know New England trying to grab at him you know Calvin Ridley situation at the end of the day um the just think about it the jagi Calvin really do you see their
Arsenal do you see the Arsenal Gabe Davis Christian Kirk Calvin Ridley um man um still Travis etan in the backfield yes um and it’s one more um it’s escaping me right now they’ll put it in the chat but they’re loaded too now that it’s just gonna be a matter of
Trevor you got all you need now show us because I think this is a proven year for Trevor Lawrence too you know they got to start talking contract with this kid as well and I think that they’re doing a good job as well put putting a
Lot around him and if they can keep um Calvin then um this is going to be a year that can make or break Trevor Lawrence ladies and gentlemen you could be looking at Trevor Lawrence getting extended big time or even getting traded next year depending on this SE season
Yes Evan Ingram Evan Ingram is also there so they’re loaded too so I know that you bring in denil Hunter and he is oh my gosh he’s just going to be a record but it’s still one record Z Jones you know um I mean I’m telling you the
Jags are loaded too um so you know when you look at the even the Dolphins Tyreek and Wadd who’s after that you could talk about Hunter Henry but these guys got four or five you know I mean these guys are like deep so if an injury occurs
They can sustain better so time will tell but Houston Texans man they are winning them the E and the Eagles they’re winning but um wait gon wait a minute hold on someone just said something in the chat I just have to make sure that it’s true before I say
Anything oh the Conor Williams thing that’s not true I’m not saying it yeah it ain’t gonna be true I don’t believe them all right if there’s somebody in the chat putting fake news producers time out if there’s any fake news in the chat you will be put in time
Out or banned because putting fake news in the chat should be prohibited that’s what I do on my Channel at least just talking to bet us producers if there’s fake news in the chat I usually give them a warning you do it once you get a
Warning do it twice yeah out of here the the last thing you can do is put fake news in the chat during NFL free agency it’s a sin should be a sin all right I’m not seeing anything yet but I mean that would be a move and so the bills are in
The market I mean I would be surprised that we’d be able to actually pull scrape two pennies together just to go out ahead y’ at the end of the day you know I mean we would just be having an overall swap you wouldn’t want that you
Wouldn’t want that Dan I mean the guy’s dealing with ACL injury that a lot of reports are coming out that it’s like severe severe yeah he might even retire so they’re trying to figure out what the details are on that interesting all right well the Jets got their punter
Back that’s what we should be talking about Thomas morstead come on this is huge that’s that’s what I’m talking about too like so who else has been busy um and this is right before we get over to the Dallas Cowboys because I do want to talk about the Dallas Cowboys but I
Do want to talk about the Panthers last night when I was on the NFC West Round Table somebody made a take saying that like what the Panthers are doing is that like they are just signing everybody like they’re signing absolutely everybody he compared it to that one
Madden game where like you would like propose like four trades but then soon as when you skip to the next day like you couldn’t like make edits so like the following day once you simulated so you have like six linebackers on your team or something like that or like seven
Linebackers on the team Etc um what’s going on with the Panthers right now and do you think that they’re doing this due to the absence of some draft picks or do you think that they’re just trying to like throw as many darts at the wall until something sticks
Hoping that Bryce young can have somewhat of a credible second season Richie talk to me about them Carolina Pampers Baby teer is fed up tepper’s the owner of the Panthers he’s fed up he’s going being aggressive they landed two big guards they definitely overpaid for your boy I mean that a fiveyear hundred
Million deal is ridiculous for hunt in my opinion but they’re being aggressive they traded away DJ Moore last year and now they needed his replacement they go out there get Deontay Johnson I love that move for the Panthers the reality is this they invested a first overall
Pick in a quarterback in Bryce young who did not look good so they have to do everything they can to give him all the support give him the protection give him an offensive line give him a wide receiver they trade away Brian Burns right there’s rumors that they’re
Looking at javian Clowney to replace him I think the Panthers are doing what they have to do with without having a first pick I mean they should be picking first overall again and if they were picking first overall again they’ probably be taking Marvin Harrison Jr so right now
For them it sucks I mean I don’t know what they feel like about Bryce young if they feel like they want to I be Tak Kayla Williams if they still have I mean that’s the thing Bryce young like nobody’s looking at Bryce young as anything and it’s crazy because he was
The first overall pick we’ve seen many first overall picks as busts and he’s looking like one right now but that could change um you got to give some of these kids time I I feel like personally it’s too premature to write off anybody in the NFL after one season you got to
Give them at least two to three years to kind of figure themselves out and the Panthers got to do what they got to do to build around them so I kind of like what they’re doing they have to be aggressive they can’t be sitting on their hands and like they got to overpay
For hunt for example to come to Carolina like some of these uh small Market teams that kind of don’t have any attraction they have to pay a tax to like force big names to come to them that’s what the Panthers are doing and I think it’s
Smart for them to do it in in their current situation in a division that’s wide open by the way like the Falcons got crew cousins they should be the favorites now the buccan years are you know the division champions last year but at the same time that division is
Still wide open that’s like the worst division in football so you never know see I was just double-checking it I was seeing if Thelen was still on the roster I believe he is yeah he is he’s not a pending free agent they added Deontay Johnson out of Pittsburgh
Yesterday too so that’s going to be somewhat of a weapon still a downgrade from a DJ Moore but I suppose there’s something still have $19 million on top of it as well TD what’s the strategy what’s what is teer doing right now is there any hope for at least an
Improvement for the Panthers next year in their season this is what you call justification free agency okay um whatever moves they know that they may ultimately need to make next season in the off season they have to justify it you can’t go in with the same roster
Trying to justify why you might be moving on from your quarterback or why you might be firing the cach or why you might be moving on from the general whatever it is this is justification I’m going to bring in big names I’m gonna spend a lot of money I’m gonna bring
Some weapons in I’m gonna bring at least at least when I’m done no one will say that I didn’t at least bring in a roster that wasn’t in the top 16 in the league even if it is number 16 nobody’s going to be able to just come at me and say I
Didn’t try and I didn’t go all in didn’t make any Investments now whatever we put on the field if it’s failure then we just got the wrong people so let me move on from this quarterback that you the owner wanted so at the end of the day
This is all justification moves you know they made some people the highest paid players by far that you wouldn’t have even thought could have made that kind of money when Robert hunt was surprised I got 20 million you know I don’t know what Robert hunt thought his mark it was
But I could imagine he’s telling his family listen I’m going in a free agency because I believe I could pull 14 to 15 million a year you know if we’re lucky and this man just walked out of there with 20 million a year with a lot of
Guarantees so at the end of the day but that’s what it takes that’s what it takes especially when you’re a destination why would anyone want to go there unless you overpay so you’re just in a bad position and on top of it you got a salary cap for a reason you have
To spend some money you can’t carry it all over into the next season so that’s what they’re doing right now um they’re still not going anywhere soon yeah they’re not going anywhere soon because their issues are in that front office to begin with so um that’s what’s happening in Carolina they got
Some weapons they gonna make some noise they’ll probably double their wins or triple it but that still puts them in the dirt double pretty much yeah five to six wins Carolina a TD fins talk prediction live on the Huddle folks I’ll tell you what we still have quite a few
Topics we want to go over in this hour in case this is your first time in fact Chad sound off in the chat if this is your first time watching this show and uh you are just graced right now with the beauty of the Huddle we are live

Free agency frenzy speaking of a frenzy there’s been nothing that I would identify the Dallas Cowboys offseason or free agency as a frenzy the Dallas Cowboys have literally been doing nothing the only thing I’ve seen the Dallas Cowboys do and correct me if I’m wrong in the chat I’m literally getting
To a point of information overload at this point of how busy this free agency period has been but the only thing I’ve seen the Dallas Cowboys do was sign a Long Snapper boys that was the only thing I have seen them do you look at what Jerry Jones came out once he ended
Up once again choking in the playoffs saying that he planned on being super aggressive and you know what his money is not where his mouth is TD your wife’s a Cowboys fan all right so I’m sure that you keep up with that news at least a little bit what’s going
On with Dallas what’s going on with Jerry’s head right now why have they not made a single move because Jerry Jones told the world that he was going all in and um you know that look like it’s um the furthest thing from the truth um I don’t know
What’s going on in Dallas man I don’t know if Jerry Jones is preoccupied with lawsuits or what it may be but he’s definitely not paying attention to his Dallas Cowboys right now and you have Dak Prescott’s brother out here tweeting that the Eagles are are a great front
Office they’re making great moves but the Dallas Cowboys aren’t doing anything I tried to tell y’all weeks ago I was the first person to say this and guess what now you got a few people out here in the mainstream media sprinkling the idea and I’m telling you I already know
What Jerry Jones is doing it’s Deion Sanders and shadur Sanders season next next year baby that’s what he’s doing he’s gonna let this ship fall right on his face he gonna make a few moves over the next few days we know that watch Dallas gonna
Make a few moves one’s gonna be like Oh I like that a few of them gonna be like uh you know they could help but trust me what I tell you he knows that he has a 10 11 win team like normal and they’ll go to the playoffs maybe and they might
Win because the NFC ain’t ain’t all that they might win one playoff game or they’ll have a first round exit and then he’s gonna blow it all up he’s gonna sell everybody he’s gonna stack up all the draft picks who wants Dak Prescott give me those two first round picks
Thank you who wants this person give me that this listen that thank you it’s all going to happen he going to trade up in the top two picks and Dion and shadur will end up in Dallas and it will have the Dallas Cowboys fans going crazy in
The National media they will be their Darlings oh my gosh it’s the Dion Colorado effect on steroids it’s happening ladies and gentlemen the one thing that Jerry Jones wants more than anything is attention and that’s gonna get it you heard it here first on the Huddle Dion Sanders and shador
Sanders leading the Dallas Cowboys next year in 2025 it’s all a conspiracy right now happening over in jerryland Richie your take on the situation are you buying in no to this no okay talk to us nonsense all I heard was just I was just waiting to something No Nonsense okay
Jerry Jones is not kicking the C to punt on a season he’s going to give Dak the money there’s a reason why Dallas has been quiet because they have three players they have to take care of of their own Dak Parsons cidd lamb those are three guys that they need to take
Care of okay now the question is which ones do they want to prioritize because cidd hasn’t been paid Parsons hasn’t been paid Dak has been paid but he’s due to get paid again okay so they’re in a very interesting situation right now that’s why they’re quiet um I don’t know
What what typee of move they’re going to make at running back because whenever I think of the Cowboys I think of them always prioritizing the Run game with Tony Pard leaving that all the other top guys are off the market who are they going to go after AJ Dylan maybe JK
Dobbins I can see them pursuing but like the reality is the Cowboys are trying to get creative and figure out a way to keep their three stars on their roster for the long term and it’s going to be hard for them to do that it really
Really is this is a a team that’s looking around the division you see the Eagles making moves the Giants are even making some strides Washington ah I mean they have a chance right to Make Some Noise with a new quarterback potentially in the NFL draft but the Cowboys are
Staying path they’re they’re holding on you know sitting on their hands and they’re waiting for you know them they’re prioritizing their own rather than getting external help I think that’s really what the the case is for the Dallas Cowboys not the rule out any blockbuster trade come out of nowhere
Any signing to come out of nowhere that’s definitely a POS posibility as well here Dan real quick here’s what I don’t understand this is what irks me with the NFL and Richie makes a good point on that because I believe that it might be what they’re doing right here’s
What irks me though you have tried every puzzle piece known to man to try to make this team work with a Dak Prescott no difference from doing every puzzle piece known the man to make it work around a Tony Romo there’s no difference at what point point do you
Realize I cannot be paying these guys this kind of money and it’s not even worth it and then we go back to the notion of what you’re gonna let your quarterback go yes who’s gonna stand up and do it finally who what GM they’re not helping you win they’re not and a
Matter of fact they’re the ones you’re losing in the big game you see how Dak Prescott started out that playoff that game he was the reason they lost putting them in a hole like that I mean gosh at what point do these general managers stop holding on like
Yeah but we found a quarterback that was good enough to just survive so we can’t let him go if it ain’t generational you gotta keep on looking go oh Lord if it ain’t Patrick moles level Lamar level the or starting their career like CJ and those guys and I I if it
Ain’t one of those guys yeah you didn’t say him then what are you doing why do you keep why do you keep falling in love like no you’re not falling in love you’re acting like you’re stuck you’re acting like you’re stuck it’s almost like you got a billion dollars and this
Woman is or this man is no good and you want to sit there and divorce but you don’t want them to take half like you’re not stuck cut your losses and look look for better try to do better it’s ridiculous man I I I it gets under my skin I just I
Don’t understand these teams they can go 15 years and not win anything with a guy like Josh Allen of the world Tony Romos of the world Dak pre Dak prescotts of the world who who who was the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback all those years no um after Palmer dton Andy Dalton’s the the world
You know these guys like like they’re good no Aaron Rogers won a Super Bowl so at the end of the day I mean did the current version of Aaron Rogers yeah but but Aaron Rogers won a Super Bowl that’s all it’s about it’s a Super Bowl and we
Cannot ignore the fact that when these guys won a Super Bowl they were playing at the highest of heights like it was generational play even when you go back to when the Eagles won a Super Bowl with UM what’s his name um not not winch what’s his name the
Backup that won the Super Bowl for the Eagles fos Nick folos is his name yes was he not was he not playing at an unbelievable level like unreal see and this what I’m saying you gotta you gotta at least show that you could play at that unbelievable
Level in the biggest games and you could win one but when these guys don’t man we I I just don’t get it I don’t get it but we’ll time time will tell we’ll see what Jerry Jones is going to do I’m just hopeful one general manager steps
Up changes the game some things are being moved around in La so the Chargers have addressed and so the Chargers have addressed a couple of different things Harbaugh is obviously now at the Helm of the organization and at one point in fact about three hours ago they had four
Players eating up close to $130 Million worth of their cap uh Mike Williams Mr Keenan Allen khil Mack and Joey Bosa however the Chargers have made some moves Mike Williams has been released he is now a pending free agent uh very curious to see where he lands his injury
History is a bit suspect whoever does sign him I wouldn’t be too excited about it and C Mack ended up restructuring his contract I believe the Chargers are finally cap compliance as of right now I kind of wanted to start off with TD’s take on this overall situation do you
Think that they are also going to release Keenan Allen Joey Bosa or are they still attempting to trade the guys because if I’m a GM I’m gonna wait to see if they release them rather than sending off valuable draft capital or valuable future Capital to see what’s
Going on there so thoughts on the overall um refacing of La was letting go of Mike Williams the right choice was restructuring a 33-year-old khil Mack the right choice talk to me letting go of um uh the receiver was um The Right Move he had some injury history he was
The loow hanging fruit out of all of them um they’re gonna take a hit um but let me say this about this whole situation in the Chargers this is obvious ladies and gentlemen bad management the only way you get yourself in this type of situation is bad management and unfortunately I’m scared
Because this is the same situation that the Dolphins are setting themselves to be in next year your four blessed players on the roster are taking up the biggest cap hits and you got to make decisions how who you’re getting rid of who you can sign next year is that
Awakening for us um with guys like chub Ramsey Tyreek Hill and and like two more guys so um here’s what I’ll say no one knows what they should do because no one knows what the plan is you have a whole whole new coach coming in is he trying
To build from the from scratch is he trying to pick up 30% you know build from a 30% you know of what’s on the roster now is he trying to pick up where they left off last year and go for it no one knows what Harbaugh’s plan is or what the general
Manager and owner is conceding they may be under the we all may not know that they may be saying hey we’re not concerned about this this year we want to Tool up and build a the right roster and that’s going to take two years and that could very well be the case because
You brought Harbaugh in and yeah they probably GNA be competitive in year one so I could see them releasing another guy to go ahead and start trying to get their books in order um but I think that um when you look at these contracts they’re stuck bro I mean this this goes
All the way back to the secondary you know JC and all of those guys all these contract that they got gave up this is what happens you know and this is what happens when you have coaches and managers that don’t care about the next regime so they do all of this wild
Reckless spending right before they know they’re out of there because they know they’re on a hot seat and if they lose they’re gone if they win they might survive so why not go all in screw the future this is what they do so there they are they with the coach and stuff
They did this and now they’re messing it up for the future coach so now they got to dig theirself out of the hole but I don’t know I honestly don’t know which direction they’re going to go because I don’t know what their expectation is from a time frame of being
Competitive Richie takes on the state of the LA Chargers man scorched Earth at least for the past couple of hours over there what’s up yeah I mean Mike Williams is the next man that’s on Jets fan radar because we’re waiting for that wide receiver Splash so Mike Williams is
A name that I think a lot of jets fans would be open to the idea he’s a perfect number two receiver um so that is great you know what I mean but talking about from the Chargers perspective they had to make some moves they were well under
The cap space the cap they had to make moves by 4M and Mike Williams was the guy they restructured KH ma deal as of right now I don’t know if Keenan Allen I think they’re going to try to keep Keenan Allen because he’s their go-to guy he’s a career charger he’s someone
That you just don’t want to I mean think about it like this you get rid of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen like what are you doing Justin Herbert’s your quarterback you can’t give up like give up all his weapons he needs to have his guys and then from a defensive
Perspective like the Chargers are so interesting because they have so much money invested in like top tier guys and they haven’t done anything and I think a big reason for that is their uh issue at the coach spot now they got hard Baugh they got a number five uh the fifth
Overall pick I believe or something like that in the NFL draft which I I think they’re going to absolutely you know use on a wide receiver or a playmaker or maybe an offensive lineman they’re definitely a polarizing team in terms of where they’re going to go in the NFL
Draft um I like the idea for the Chargers to get rid of Mike Williams and they’re a sneaky sneaky team that can all of a sudden rise to the upper echelon of the AFC Conference with Harbaugh right I feel like this is what happens when you go all in to win and
You uh don’t you have to get have tough decisions TD said that the Dolphins are going to have to be doing something similar probably next year with Tyreek and Jaylen Ramsey and uh Bry chub which is why the Dolphins window is right now and I don’t know how long that’s going
To last uh the Jets kind of don’t really have that type of issue currently but when you’re looking from the Chargers perspective they had to make some tough decisions and it started off with Mike Williams and now khil Mack returns we shall see where it goes from here but I
Think Mike Williams is a really big option because he got hurt last year but outside of being him being hurt last year he wasn’t really that injury-prone so the injury proness definitely scares some people away from Mike Williams but when he’s healthy he’s just stud well folks I’ll tell you what free
Agency the official period begins in about 15 minutes so I would assume that several teams that are as of right now still over the cap we should be seeing a flood of some information on Twitter so for teams that are still sort of you know flirting with that line of where
They need to be over the cap we should be seeing quite a few in quite a few pieces of information so that they can get over uh last time I checked I I thought Miami was finally under the cap but it’s like $800,000 what’s going
On with that TD as far as y’s cap space and so and so are y’all cap compliant or no not yet we’ve been cap compliant since yesterday now T some teams will go over under all that stuff as long as we’re cap comping in the league sees
That then we could do you know um make the moves we want to make it just depends on the structure of these contracts that we’re signing now um so you’re not going to have a final number probably for a week we’re still waiting on some of these deals um details to
Come in like teron Armstead what is that deal look like you know how did they um structure it you know are they front end backend how did that look so we’re cap compant we’re in a good position right now uh we can’t make a ton more um you know sign
The Dolphins are in the market for one and twoyear Deals that’s it and only one year is worth of guarantees so at the end of the day when you see these two-year contracts it’s really so that we could try to backload it and count it against next year’s cap even though the
Player may not even be on a roster next year you know so and there’s still a few other opportunities for us to save some money and um U get more cap you know so the problem with the dolphin salary cap isn’t now at this point because we also
Get 16 million back um post June first cut with xaven Howard yeah so so we have some flexibility the problem is the future yeah we’re continuing to lower that cap number for the future so that’s where the issue is going to come in and then when we resign um uh jayen Wadd
Hopefully this off season when we resign uh Javon Holland hopefully this off season there’s like four guys that got to get paid that to’s New Deal everybody’s looking at oh we have this much next year we’re going to be okay soon as those come in soon as they structure the current contracts we’re
Going to be looking at next year potentially being in the big negative as well trying to figure some stuff out so um yeah once everything is sorted out and the new deals come in everybody will see that you know we’ve been kicking the can down the road did you see Ramsay’s
Restructure I didn’t see that yeah we added three voidable years and people don’t get that we we’re saving money this year but now you’re adding three years of cap hits of like 18 million eight million then four million but people don’t understand that lowers what you can do the following year so all
These restructures are making it worse for next year so we’ll see how it all ends up jayen Ramsey bro it’s like yeah Jaylen Ry continue Dan now certainly help me clear this up because I know like with a p like with a post June 1st cut like you can’t touch the money until
After June 1st obviously but does it go toward the way the NFL looks at your cap situation at the beginning of the year does it help you be cap compliant right now if anyone in the chat knows what TD is telling me no do it has nothing to do with your cap
Compliance right now has nothing to do the transaction isn’t even complete until post June 1st so that’s how that works you don’t have access to it or anything until post June 1st now you could talk to somebody and say hey post June 1st we’re coming to get you for
This amount you know but nothing is in stone until post June 1st that money doesn’t exist until post June 1st post T you still holding out on uh CJ MO that’s the post June 1 money it’s a post June first TR CJ Mosley over to the Miami do not
Happening the Miami Dolph I’m just so I mean I’m just sitting here trying to think about like where Fields is gonna go to I saw some article earlier today where they said that the best fit potentially would be uh Seattle because Seattle really hasn’t been making moves outside of bringing back Leonard
Williams they’ve been a quiet team as well I feel like nobody’s seeing the value in Justin fields and I think Chicago might be stuck with them Richie talk to me same thing’s going on with Zach Wilson for a different reason yeah dude dude Zack Milson is still on the
Market ladies oh my God it ain’t even close they are two different situations Justin Fields is still a bear because at the end of the day they have no need to rush it Zack Wilson is still a jet because he’s a jet he bad Listen Justin Fields has Justin Fields still has
Upside that many teams believe in but just like Josh Rosen they didn’t trade him until the draft they’re just making sure they know who they want to select at the quarterback position I believe the reports that came out yesterday in Chicago that they and they’ve been showing it to be true because they’ve
Been out here looking at all these quarterbacks general manager front office everybody been l so I’m going be honest with you Caleb Williams isn’t a shoe in at number one either because they’re doing their extended homework right now and a lot of people are saying they are liking Drake may as well and
That’s why they’re they’re out there keeping their eyes on those guys and I think Caleb Williams what what do you call it his um um his version of Pro Day or whatever is gonna be very important because the Bears want to make sure they feel good about making this pick I think the
Bearss are doing something very responsible everybody automatically this the best quarterback in the draft you got to go get them where has that gotten a lot of teams sometimes you hit but sometimes you get oh so imagine them going through the process and like he got flaws and he got
Flaws maybe I don’t even want either of them this year maybe I want to kick the can down the road not likely I get that no don’t don’t take me wrong but they are doing their due diligence is the point that I’m making they’re definitely doing
Their good due diligence let me ask you this are either of these guys better than Joe burrow who Drake May or um Caleb Williams no are you sure Dan Joe buros thank listen bro listen man everybody in the world thinks I’m like this biggest Joe bur
Hater I am are he’s good he’s good he’s still like a top for top quarterback all right listen yes I yes all right that goes without saying is better than Caleb Williams and Drake man all right that goes so put the put put the NFL record
Aside if um Herbert was in this draft and you knew what he what he’s um done in the NFL who would be pick number one overall so if you knew what he did in the NFL no no no no I’m talking about Drake May Caleb Williams and Justin
Herbert that’s totally not fair we know what Justin Herbert is NL we don’t know what they are yeah but this this is what it’s not a fair hypothetical though um okay take away the hypothetical just use College Joe burrow Joe bur Joe bur’s first not I me Herbert I mean Herbert who
Would you who would you select Herbert Drake May or Cayla Williams take the NFL out of it coming out of college I’ll probably go Caleb Williams Herbert and then Drake may I don’t really see any I’m not really a big Drake May Guy that’s interesting so I I don’t know I
Think Herbert still goes over both of them that’s just that’s just my take on it someone said Dan would have B Nick over Joe burrow that is a lie don’t sleep on B Nick now yeah why because the Jets were looking at how does pro day go
You watches pro day even the Bears even the Bears talk about due diligence they were there for B and that’s what I mean they’re up and down all these quarterbacks they want to try to get it right based off of their evaluation they don’t want to just go off of the first
Round round number one overall consensus hype they want to get it right and it’s like look at how many quarterbacks that went in the second round late in the first or or whatever it may be that if you would have just evaluated and choose that guy you would have man I like what
The Bears are doing they’re not going off of the hype even though they may still end up picking Caleb they want to make sure they look at all these quarterbacks why you make it seem like what they’re doing is like groundbreaking like every team in NFL history that’s had first overall pick
Has done this like it’s called due diligence yeah yeah yeah but this is a little bit different due diligence and here’s why the Bear’s been burnt the Bear’s been burnt so many times and I think that they’ve gone off of you be crazy not to take Fields you’d be crazy not to
Take this quarterback at the top and they’ve been burned so at the end of the day I think everybody does their let’s praise the Bears for their due diligence oh so awesome no here’s what I me mean oh Richie how many times have teams done their due diligence but the owner said I
Don’t care you draft that person number one that’s still gonna draft Caleb Williams so it doesn’t matter we don’t know that Richie we don’t know that we don’t know that yeah we do folks tell you what we’re approaching this hour mark and another wonderful episode of the Huddle folks Monday through Friday

Why you lying to td dan, poyor aint the same and thats why we were using him in the box alot more and putting rapp back there with hyde. We shall see but to say best saftey duo, maybe a couple years ago poyor but poyor now idk about all that holland has his flaws and wasnt great last year either but wasnt as bad as poyor, poyor in 2021 and 2022 he had like a 43% passer rating allowed then last season he had a 79% passer rating allowed, big big drop off.
