greatest football podcast known to civilization.
Okay. You are listening to Bagro Domus.
You are listening to the chief head of the table,
chief Bagro meteorologists.
Okay. As well as your GM,

but I am receiving under the table payments
from Georgia, Alabama and Michigan.
Don't check those numbers.
Don't worry. Don't, don't, don't worry about that.
I'm, I'm getting my, my extra 25 cents in a ticket stub.
Okay. I'm getting all of that in more. Okay.
But most importantly, I am your host,
a title that I love the most.
I am your host, your GM.
That's right. Your GM.
You already know what I'm getting ready to say.
This is going to be a loaded episode.
So guess what? You better be,
you better have a tall task ahead of you.
If you got some dishes that you got to do, guess what?
You're going to get everything done.
Why are you listening to greatness? Okay.

Just know this episode is going to be long enough for you
to get the task done.
I am your host, Kale.
You already know what I'm getting ready to say on three,
one, two, three, lock in.
All right, folks, let's just get into the meat and the potatoes
of everything that's going on in the football universe,
mega verse, verse, verse, whatever you want to call it.
Okay.
Who cares if your
on in the football universe, mega verse, verse, verse, whatever you want to call it.
Okay.
Who will be going to start with?
We're going to start with the line because why?
Lime and deserve love.
Okay.
The big guys deserve love.
Okay.
And who we start off with literally one of the greatest left tackles of our generation,
Trent Williams.
Okay.
He has inked a three year, 82.6 million dollar extension.
Okay.
He gets 48 million guaranteed at signing.
He gets a 25.6 million dollar signing bonus.
Okay.
Now we got to put in some notes just so we can add a little bit more context to this
deal.
Okay.
This is the most cash for any linemen in year one.
Okay.
At 27.65 million.
Cool.
This is the most guaranteed money for any linemen since 2021 and 103 million dollars.
He just got the bag again.
He got it.
It worked.
Even though yes, he is going to have to pay fines per the CBA and whatnot.
That is literally just a crumb to everything, to all the other money that he's bringing
in.
Okay.
As I've said before, and I've said this in multiple podcast, but multiple episodes,
Trent Williams deserved his money.
Okay.
Once Christian Derisaw got his money, everybody knew that Trent Williams was going to want
more money.
Everybody knew that because why?
He is still the best left tackle in the game right now.
That's no disrespect to Christian Derisaw, but Trent Williams is on a whole another level.
Even at this point in his career, people would have thought, oh man, you're starting to see
a little bit of decline.
No.
He is still holding his own with the best of the best.
He is still putting people in the ground.
Okay.
That is who Trent Williams is.
As I've said before, and this is a factual stat, you can find it on NFL Pro.
Since the 49ers traded for Trent Williams, they started to run the ball more on his side
and they were doing it at a more successful rate.
That shows you that he is not only just an impactful player, but he is a game changer.
Okay.
That's just who he is.
And granted, I understand there were people saying, well, Trent Williams should have just
tried to be there.
No, he doesn't have to.
Because why?
If he wanted to, realistically speaking here, Trent Williams could have walked away from
football and not care because why?
He has solidified his career.
He has.
He's going to go down in history and one of the greatest left tackles of all time.
He is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
He's getting a gold jacket.
Okay.
That is a 100% guarantee.
He's made well over $100 million.
He's good.
He doesn't have to do anything else.
He has nothing else to prove.
The only other thing that he probably would want is probably just to rank, just to sweeten
the deal and just to end things on the right foot.
That's it.
Other than that, he's done everything else that there is to do.
He's gone up against the best of the best his entire career.
Right?
So it was only a matter of time before the 49ers were going to do it.
Now, I will say this and this is why I made the title for this episode.
The way the one, I can't even speak.
It's definitely the coffee.
I'm super excited because we've got a quadruple bag alert.
Okay.
This is the first time we've ever had a quadruple bag alert.
You guys do not understand how excited I was.
Okay.
The quadruple is going to be just a normal, just bag alert or double bag alert or triple
bag alert, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is different.
Okay.
But back to Trent Williams.
This is the last dance for the 49ers.
Okay.
Anyone says you can bash me all you want.
You can fight me all you want.
You can do all those different type of things.
This is the last dance.
This is the curtain call for the 49ers.
And the reason why I'm saying that is because at this point, there is no, there is no other
better opportunity that the 49ers have than now.
You have to win now to justify every single move that the 49ers have made within the past
five to six to seven or eight years.
You have to because you've taken care of all of your players.
You've paid all your superstars.
You've done all those different types of things.
Now it's time for you to win a Super Bowl.
And not to mention everybody knows once, once, once, I can't even speak, once the team starts
to enter the phase where they have to pay the quarterback, that same cap flexibility that
they used to have is going to be very limited.
So that means instead of them going after a player that is looking for a new deal and
you can just add on, you know, more guarantees and whatnot, or you can just give them a whole
spanking brand new deal and probably reset the market for that individual position.
Now you're going to have to make a decision on probably going after a player who has an
expiring contract or has no guarantees.
And all you have to do is just add on a maybe 10 to 15, 10 to 15 million and more guarantees
compared to going after a younger, more viable player.
That's just what it is at this point.
Not to mention they've done a lot.
They've traded, you know, for multiple players.
They traded for Christian McCaffrey, traded for Trent Williams.
They paid George Kittle, Debo, Brandi and IU, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Gravedigger.
They traded away the Forrest Buckner.
They traded away Eric Armstead.
They did all those different types of things, right?
And at some point you have to win at least one.
I'm not saying that you have to win two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10.
I'm not saying that you won't even be able to with this core, but you have to win one,
just one.
Because at this point it feels like they're trying to buy a Super Bowl and you can never
buy a Super Bowl, right?
And this is sort of a reason why I think we have to in some ways, and this was a point
that I had thought of when the brandi news came down and he finally got paid.
This is why I think we have to appreciate the Patriots' dynasty more.
Because a lot of the turmoil and foolishness and conundrum that the 49ers are having, you
would have never heard that from the Patriots.
Because the Patriots would have just shipped people off, you know, know if ands or buts
about it.
That whole will ship you away two years before, then two years after.
Trust and believe there would have been a lot of turnover with this 49ers.
We have, let's just be honest here.
But I think it's important to note that the pressure is really on John Lynch and Kyle
Shanahan to win a Super Bowl.
If I'm management, I'm looking at you every single week of this upcoming season.
And I'm emphasizing like, listen, I want to be able to hold a Lombardi.
One Lombardi, that's it.
If we can hold up one Lombardi, I won't care.
Because I don't wrote so many checks.
I don't reset in the market for so many different players.
And we haven't been able to do anything.
And it's hard, and I get it.
It's hard to go to the Super Bowl, let alone win the Super Bowl.
I get that.
But when you have multiple opportunities, and you've been in multiple Super Bowls, and
you have been as close as you can in both instances to win a Super Bowl, and you choked,
that falls on you.
That falls on you.
It doesn't fall on anybody else.
That falls on you.
Especially when it was a coaching decision, not necessarily a player decision.
In 2019, when they went up against the Chiefs, what did they do?
If I'm not mistaken, I think they stopped running the ball.
They wanted to pass the ball more.
And in doing so, guess what happened?
They lost the game.
They gave the Chiefs leverage, and they were able to come back and win.
Same thing with this past Super Bowl, right?
Now that one was a little bit different, because both teams were, you know, gassed.
I'm talking about they were tired, but it was just that Chiefs defense, they started
to get hot, they started to have some momentum, and they just sealed the deal.
And then you have Patrick Mahomes, you know, doing Patrick Mahomes things, and you know,
this is the situation that you're in right now.
So I say all that to say this, if the 49ers do not win, it's going to be hard to really,
you know, look at Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch as, you know, one of the best, you know, coaching
GM duos in this league.
It really is.
Because if we're being real here, the teams that you really have to worry about are the
Lions, the Eagles, the Ravens, of course, the Chiefs, and you know, somebody else that
might be that that might be a dark horse, right?
You don't really have to worry about anybody else.
So if you can, so if you can maintain this course, and if you can try to win as many
games as you possibly can, hey, I mean, it's there, it's there.
The chance for you to go back to the Super Bowl is there.
But you have to want to, you have to want to be able to get there and to finish the job,
not get halfway, not get to the Super Bowl and do everything that you're supposed to
do and then choke away.
No, you have to finish it from you have to do it from start to finish.
You have to and if you don't, then guess what's going to happen?
Everyone's really going to label you a choke artist.
That's really, that's really what it is.
And Kyle Shanahan has been having that label, you know, since the whole Falcon situation
choke artist.
So Kyle, you got to do something, bro.
You got to do something.
You can't say, oh, we was devoid of, you know, talent and whatnot.
Now you have multiple Hall of Famers on your team on both sides of the ball.
Christopher and Kathy Hall of Famer, Trent Williams Hall of Famer, Nick, well, no, no,
I don't know about Nick Bows.
I don't know about Frick Warner.
Well, you know what?
Forget about that.
But that's, that's all I have to say for the 49ers.
Hopefully they win.
If they don't, well, then, oh, well, I don't care because guess what?
It's not my team.
Okay.
Moving forward to the other offensive linemen on the other side of the ball.
Cameron Hayward, defense of tackle for the six time, six time.
You thought I wasn't going to do it, but I was going to do it six time, six time, six
time, six time.
Super Bowl champions.
Yes, I did that.
I'm going to continue to do that.
Now, if we have a second episode this week, I might just do it again.
Yes, I'm going to do it.
Oh, and I'm letting you guys know right now to all the people that are Cowboys fans.
And you guys do have to go up against us.
And if you guys do lose, just know I've already told my friends who are Cowboys fans, you
will be getting called out on that episode.
You have been warned now back to our regular program.
Cameron Hayward ain't a quote unquote three year, $45 million extension to stay with the
Steelers, 29 million guarantee.
And apparently he gets a 15 plus million dollar signing bonus.
Now this is what I will, this is what I'll do first.
Okay, I'm going to explain it and then we're going to sort of go into a deep dive.
So essentially from the, from the, from a media standpoint, they're reporting it as
a three year, $45 million dollar deal.
When in actuality, it's actually a two year deal, right?
And so basically what they did was they converted his base salary, if I'm not mistaken, for
this year, they can, they converted it into a signing bonus, which actually saves the
team actually about nine, nine million, nine plus million in, in cap space, right?
And so, you know, when, when we look at this here, according to NFL pro last season, the
Steelers were more effective in defending the run with Cam on the field than off.
And so, you know, this is what I will say.
Okay.
And I was definitely on the fence about, you know, giving, giving the extension to Cam,
simply because of, you know, the injury that he had suffered and just seeing how a lot
of times when teams give these older players, these, you know, these bigger, these bigger
time contracts, how it affects them, not, you know, immediately, but like later on down
the road, I've seen it and it just doesn't end well.
But you know, for this to be essentially a two year extension, it's actually really
good, you know, it's definitely a team friendly deal.
And you know, let's, let's, let's be real here, folks.
Cam Hayward as a run stuffer is still one of the best, right?
Now when it comes to pass rush moves and all those different types of things, that's a
different conversation for a different type of day.
Okay.
When it comes to run stuffing, he is still one of the best.
And that's what the Steelers need him for.
They need him to be a run stuffer and you can still play in the league, you know, at
an older age as a, as a run stuffer, look at Kalei is Campbell Kalei is Campbell as
old as he is, is still being, it's still, you know, one of the best of the best, especially
at what run stuff.
He's not, you know, being a patch rusher and all those different types of things.
He is mainly for clogging up the middle.
And that's what Cam is doing basically.
And so, you know, it was definitely, it was definitely some turmoil.
You can definitely, you know, see, you know, in the earlier parts of the off season, you
know, him emphasizing that he wants to be here and, you know, he just wants to be compensated
and one nine.
He doesn't want to follow into the same footsteps that other Steelers greats have fallen where,
you know, basically they've been, you know, booted out of, you know, booted out of, you
know, booted into retirement, you know, when you look at Troy situation, we look at the
look at Heinz Ward situations and, you know, other noticeable players.
So, you know, all in all, he's, you know, he wants to stay with this team as long as
he can.
And I don't, I don't blame him for it.
I think the team is still in a good, in a good place.
I think next year, I will say this as an early prediction.
I do think that, you know, with them emphasizing the offense in line for the past two years,
I think they're now going to shift towards the defensive line because as of right now,
the only upside that you have on the defensive line is Keanu Benton and you need somebody
else along with Keanu Benton in order to make things really productive, right?
And with it being a defensive heavy class and multiple, you know, deep, multiple really
good defensive prospects are coming out of, you know, are coming out next year, like Mason
Graham and Dion Walker.
I mean, that's a good opportunity, right?
If you get, if you get one of those two, right, and you have them to just sit and to learn
under someone like a Cameron Hayward, that's great.
That's great because then he understands the traditions, the culture, the standards, all
those different types of things.
And once Cam feels like, okay, this is my last ride.
I'm ready to go out.
I did everything that I could do.
Cool.
And that way you know that, you know, it's in the hands of the next generation of great
Steelers defensive linemen because that's what they need at this point.
They need to bolster up the defensive line because just having TJ Y, Alex Highsmith,
Larry O'Owen, Joe B, Cameron Hayward, Keanu Benton, that's not going to get it.
They got to bring in some fresh blood at this point.
And you know, to the people that say that, oh, Cam is, is watch this and the other cam
has been more productive and more consistent.
Even when he was hurt last year, even when a lot of people were saying that that injury
was, was worse than what it was and that he probably should have stayed out, you know,
for the season and whatnot.
He still came in and he still tried to do his part and you can't take that away from
him compared to Larry O'Owen, O'Owen, Joe B, who no, just no disrespect to him.
But ever since that foot injury and ever since he left the bangles, he has not been the same
player.
He just has not.
And it shows.
Sure, you'll see, you know, flashes and, you know, here, there and everywhere, but it's
still, you still don't see the same player than what you saw from a few years ago.
Case in point, that is why he didn't get the deal that he got from the bangles because
a writ, I mean, not, not the bangles from the Bears because originally he was supposed
to ink a crazy deal with the Bears.
But the only reason why he didn't get that deal was because he failed his physical because
of his Liz Frank injury.
If you guys don't know what Liz Frank injury is, it's basically an injury under, under
your foot.
And so basically like it can, it can make your foot feel like real tender, like real uncomfortable.
So like, well, what's the best way to put it?
There's a lot of nerves like under your feet.
And sometimes if you, if they're damaged and whatnot, it can like really, it can be really
painful and whatnot.
So you know, I say all that to say this, even though I just, I just became a quick doctor
for, you know, for a second, but who cares?
You know, this was definitely a great deal.
It's glad that, you know, this is a team friendly deal.
Now this, now that this is taken care of, all you have to worry about is Pat Fryer move
and even then with Pat Fryer move as your back row domicense, I want to put out this
prediction.
I don't even think that deal is going to be relatively, you know, as crazy as what people
think it is.
I think when you look at the numbers, the initial numbers, I think people are probably
going to like blow it out of proportion.
I'm going to be thinking, oh, this is horrible.
This is bad for the team.
This than the other blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, no, when you look at the structure of the deal, then you're going to be like,
okay, I get it now.
Right.
And so honestly speaking, it's, it's, it's a good situation.
It's a really good situation.
The Steelers have, you know, catch space just in case if they need to make a move, you know,
in season or whatnot.
So all in all, a great situation for them now on to the other person.
So cornerback, well, slot cornerback, Michael Carter, the second for the jets into a three
year, 30.75 million dollar deal that can go up to 33 million.
Okay.
19 million in total guarantees.
He'll be making 10.2 million a year.
Okay.
So the 42 NFL pro last season, he had the third highest tight window target rate in the season
at 38.2%.
Okay.
The minimum was 40 targets.
Okay.
And of course, as I've just said, he is the highest paid slot corner in the league.
So when you look at it here, you know, the corner, the slot cornerback market has definitely
started to grow substantially, well, well, you know, if over the past few years, it's,
you know, it.
If I do, I think it'll probably get to the point where like, like where it is for the,
you know, for corners.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
But you know, slot corners have definitely become more effective and are being used more
by defensive coordinators.
A lot of, a lot of creep.
Hmm.
I can't speak.
I'm just so excited.
You guys understand.
I'm super excited.
They're, they're starting to use slot corners in a more creative way instead of just lining
up and covering, you know, receivers are in the slot.
They're using them in different blitz packages and, you know, all those different, you know,
different types of schemes and whatnot, and they're working.
And when you have someone like Michael Carter, who has been really productive and has been
one of the most productive, you know, slot corners in the league, then, you know, this,
this is what happens.
And not to mention it's a deal that doesn't necessarily break, you know, break the bank.
It's only 10.2 million a year.
That's not really that bad.
It really isn't.
Especially when you have someone who has been, you know, as consistent as he's been and has
been as productive as he's been, you know, in the slot, you know, it's, it's only right
to he, that he gets his, you know, they get his payday.
And, you know, what, what's crazy is as soon as the news dropped for that, Mike Hilton
posted posted the gift of, of Kevin Hart when he's just, you know, not in his head and whatnot.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Hilton will probably be looking for more money.
You know, once this off season is, is done and whatnot, but onto the bigger, bigger,
bigger, bigger, bigger.
Okay.
Back alert.
Okay.
Patrick Sartain PS2.
Okay.
Ain't a four year, 96 million dollar deal, 77.5 million guaranteed.
He'll be making 24 million a year.
Now this is what I will say.
I was close.
But when we look at things though, right?
According to spot rack, his, they, the market value that they have for him was the three
years, 66.5 million, 22.1 million a year.
Now as your back row diamonds, I have to put this in there.
My prediction was three years, 73 million, 24.3 million a year.
Now when we look at this, this is definitely a curveball because I was not expecting this
at all, but you know, PS2 coming into the league was a lockdown corner, right?
And has held his own against some of the best receivers in the league.
Okay.
When I'm talking about, he's gone up against Kenyna.
He's gone up against the Vontae Adams, Justin Jefferson and company.
And when you all ask them, you know, who, who are the top corners that, you know, that
give you the problems, most of the times that are going to bring up PS2.
And you know, I, I remember vividly when PS2 was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was,
was coming out of Alabama.
I wanted the Steelers to get Patrick, Patrick Sarsane so bad because I know that he was
going to, that he was automatically going to be a number one lockdown corner.
And there was nothing that you can say otherwise.
You are talking about somebody who is sticky in coverage, who with no help holds his own,
holds his own.
I'm talking about a straight up dog when it comes to covering one-on-one, mono, mono
against some of the best route running receivers, some of the best physical receivers, just
some of the best receivers in the league, right?
Not to mention, apparently this off season, that 2018 Alabama group has generated well
over a billion dollars in NFL contracts this year.
And this just shows how great that team was, how great that court was.
And you know, kudos to, to, to Alabama and to Nick Saban for, you know, for all the things
that he did.
You know, I know a lot of people give him a lot of slack for, you know, for all the
various sound bites and clips that we see on social media and whatnot.
But you know, that coaching generated, you know, well over a billion dollars in NFL contracts
this year for all those players that was on that team.
So all in all, I think it's a W, honestly.
And it's, you know, the Broncos keep a, you know, a number one corner of their team.
Great.
Now the question is, are, you know, how are they going to build off of that?
Right?
Because again, you know, there's going to be a defensive minded, I mean, not defensive
minded, there's going to be a defensive heavy draft class.
So I mean, you know, there is a corner, you know, if you get that other corner, you know,
you're going to have two lockdown corners on your team.
I'm not going to give who the names will Johnson Michigan.
But yeah, so yeah, this is a really good situation for the Broncos, you know, because
let's be real here.
If PSD would have hit free agency, you would have never been able to get him back.
Never ever, ever, ever, ever.
Okay.
Now, speaking of corners, this will probably be my prediction for, for sauce.
I would say sauce is probably going to get 25.
I think so.
I think sauce is definitely going to get 25 because and that's, that's probably counting.
That's probably not even counting if he, you know, if he doesn't win the defensive player
of the year or any major award and whatnot.
If he wins a major award and you know, he has somewhat of a better statistical season
than what PS2 has had, like a legendary historic season, oh, bring, bring in the, bring, bring
in the bank.
Just, just bring the whole bang with you.
Bring, bring the tellers, bring the money machine, bring the ball, bring all those things.
Just bring it to the just facility right then and there.
Just bring it.
Just, just, just bring it because he is going to cash in folks.
Now, now that we've gotten all the baggler top away, we got to get into the real nooks
and crannies of this episode.
Okay.
So we got football.
Okay.
Ravens and Chiefs start off the season.
Okay.
The red carpet has been laid.
It is now, it is now time for people to walk down and do the do.
Okay.
Now, this is what I will say.
I'm going to start with the Ravens first and then we're going to go over to the Chiefs.
The Ravens, a lot, a lot is riding on this year for the Ravens, right?
And the reason why I say that is because this game could be, this game could be the start
of a great season or bad season, right?
I'm going to say that again.
This could be the start of a great season or bad season.
And the reason why I say that is because you want, you want to make this game a statement
game, right?
You want this game to make a statement to let people know that, listen, last year that
was, that was on us.
We didn't want to run the ball, but guess what?
We're going to make it right this year.
We're going to make it right.
And that's, this is how you do it.
This is the opportunity that you get.
If they punch the Chiefs in the mouth, I mean, we, we, we got to have a different conversation
folks.
We do because, you know, if, if I was a Ravens player and if I was there and you know, they,
they do the whole ceremony where they drop down the banner or, or, or, or however they
do it and they show the rings and different and what, you know, I think it might be mixing
basketball.
I think I'm mixing basketball for sure.
I don't know.
I don't know what they do, but I know they probably do something for, you know, for, for the Super
Bowl champions.
If I'm a Ravens player, oh, that, that's going to piss me off.
That's going to, because in my mind that's going to, that should, that should have been
us, right?
And you know, that, that should make you want to, to take the extra mile for everything,
you know, secure the tackle, make a, you know, make a play, make a block, you know, make
an interception, get a sack, all those different types of things.
It should make you want to go the extra mile because again, as of right now, the Chiefs
are the Kings of the NFL.
They are the Super Bowl champions.
And right now the Ravens are really close to dethroning them and they can dethrone
them.
They have the roster to do it.
They got, they went and got Derek Henry, which was great.
They, you know, they drafted Nate Wiggins and also TJ Tampa.
They have Kyle Hamilton.
They have Roquan.
They have Namdi, uh, uh, Meda Buque.
They yes, he changed his name.
So apparently yes on, on side.
No, he's not Justin Meda Buque anymore.
He's changing his name back to his original name, which is Namdi Meda Buque.
Now, this is what I'll say moving, moving back to, to, um, to football, the Ravens
have to show they have to be dominant.
They have to come out guns blazing.
They have to because if they don't, everyone's going to say, oh man, the Ravens are washed,
man.
All the things that they did in the off season was for nothing.
They're not going to do anything.
No, you got to come out here and you got to put Patrick Mahomes on the ground.
Every chance that you can get make this, make this an old physical old school Ravens game.
That's the only way that you're going to be able to go anywhere.
You have to put Patrick Mahomes in the ground.
You have to be in his face at all times because if you don't, if you give him a little bit
of leeway, he's going to come back.
We've seen it before multiple times and small games and in big games and even moments where,
where people are doubting Patrick Mahomes.
He always finds a way, but this Ravens defense, especially that offense, they have the weapons
and the firepower to do something different.
Now onto the chief side, the chiefs, you know, they're, they're in a situation where they
could go down and be historic.
They can be the first NFL team to win the, to do a three P, but at the same time, the
role to the Super Bowl this year is going to be the most difficult that they've ever
experienced this, you know, up until this point because why?
For one, that offense, they're going to have to rely so much not only on Travis Kelsey,
but on the run game, just to make up for the lack that they have in the receiving court.
Right.
You, you still don't know what's going to happen with Rashid Rice.
You still don't know.
You still don't know how long he's going to be suspended for.
Some people have thrown out half a season.
Some people have thrown out just three or four games.
We don't know, right?
Not to mention Hollywood Brown is, is come, is still coming off of injury as well.
So you know that that's going to take some time to, you know, to grow and whatnot.
Other than that, who else do you have in that receiving room that you can consistently rely
on?
You can't rely on juju.
You can't, you can't rely on juju.
Right.
You, you could probably, you know, probably feed it to him a few times, but to say that,
you know, you could give it to him 20, 30, 40 different times of, you know, a game.
No, that's not where juju is at this point in his career.
So you have that mixed with, you know, the defense, the defense has lost a lot of players,
you know, to the off season.
They have.
And, you know, it's, I mean, Trent, Trent McDuffie.
Okay.
He's, you know, he's pretty good, but he wasn't, you know, what, what Legerius Knee was.
And granted, the chiefs knew that they weren't going to be able to pay both Chris Jones and
Legerius Knee.
They knew that.
So they, they just made a decision where, okay, we have to prioritize Chris Jones and
just have to, you know, let go of Legerius Knee at that point.
And that's what they did.
Not to mention, you know, there, there's, there, there's just a lot of question marks
for this chiefs team.
And I feel like, you know, this is, and this is an early prediction.
I do feel like they're going to be a little bit active, you know, by, by the trade deadline,
just to patch up some holes and try to make some upgrades at certain positions.
Because again, I do feel like there's going to be some receivers that are going to be
shopped around, you know, around the trade, trade deadline.
And I, I wouldn't be surprised if the chiefs, you know, try to dip their hand and try to
make a move.
I wouldn't because they know that, you know, as of right now, this receiving court, it's
not good enough.
It's not good enough.
It's not, but can it, but, but can it be manageable?
Yes, it can be manageable because why you still have Andy Reed, who could come up with
a whole bunch of different creative plays and whatnot that can, you know, not only get
you down the field, but it also put points on the board.
So let's just wait and see what happens, you know, with this game.
But again, a lot is riding on this game for both sides of the ball.
It is.
I feel like it's, I feel like more, more pressure is on the Raven side than it is on the chief
side, but only time will tell.
Now onto somewhat of a scathing, but not surprise report that's come out lately.
So according to a Ben standing reporter for the athletic and anonymous, I can't even speak
an anonymous agent has, has somewhat come out on the terminal that's happened within
the New York Jets building.
Okay.
So this is what he said.
And I quote, there is complete disarray over there.
Look at how they've handled Aaron Rogers has one player had more power than him.
He skipped many camp.
They have been unable to convert him into a team player.
The vibe inside the building is terrible.
Now this is what I will say, you know, to, to this anonymous, I can't speak.
This is difficult word, right?
I know to the anonymous agent that has come out and said this, I don't know why you're
not surprised, right?
Aaron Rogers at this point, if you think that he's going to be a team player, you are sadly
mistaken.
Aaron Rogers is about him, him, him, him, him, him.
Okay.
And, you know, granted, he has, he's going to go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks
of all time.
And, you know, all those various accolades and all that other different type of stuff.
But the fact of the matter is, since being traded to the Jets, he has basically wielded,
you know, an iron fist around that team.
And, and they have done little to nothing about it.
They haven't, right?
And you know, when, when we look at this, it's a nasty situation.
It is.
And, you know, he's basically somewhat become of a snake oil salesman.
Hey, and he has sold this dream that basically, oh yeah.
We're going to go to the Super Bowl.
We're going to do this, that and the other blah, blah, blah.
There's different type of stuff.
We're going to be great.
We're going to be competitive.
We're going to be the Jets, J-E-T-S-Jets.
No.
Stop.
Get some help.
Drink some water because you're lying.
You're lying.
Let's call it for what it, let's call a spade, a spade here, folks.
This, this has been a shit show with this whole acquisition of Aaron Rogers.
It has been because you, it's always been about him.
The spotlight always has to been about him.
And you know, at this point, Robert Silas is going to lose his job because of Aaron
Rogers.
That's just what it is.
He's going to lose his job because of Aaron Rogers, because Aaron Rogers ignorance and
inability to be a team player and try to change, you know, his, his perception that, that a
lot of people have about him.
It, it is just a horrible situation.
It really is.
I can't even really come up with the words about it because it's like, he is really,
you know, selling it like, oh, yeah, we're competitive.
Yeah, we're going to be great.
This than the other.
And then you have quotes of like, we have to, you know, eliminate the BS out of the,
you know, out of the building one now.
Well, if the shoe fits where it, because if I'm not mistaken, there's only one person
that's really been bringing in the BS and that's been you, Aaron.
It's been nobody else.
It's been you.
It's been specifically you, no one else.
And you know, everyone is, is trying to come together, try to be competitive and try to
actually do something different than what the normal jets teams have done in the past.
And you and everyone is looking to you because you've been there.
You've won a Lombardi.
You've experienced the confetti.
You've experienced holding a Lombardi trophy.
You experienced all those different emotions and feelings and what now when you win a championship,
they have it.
They're trying to experience it and they know that, listen, you are the only person that
can take us to that point.
And they trust you enough that you are going to do it.
And so far you have not done it.
Now granted, I can't really, I can't get on him as much last year simply because he got
hurt that, that, that was out of his control, right?
But at the end of the day, there should have been a different mindset, a different tone.
Just everything should have been different after last season.
It just should have been different.
And it hasn't.
And you know, I would not be surprised that once this whole Aaron Rodgers dream, because
that's exactly what it is.
It's nothing else.
It's just a dream.
I think once this is over with, I think you're going to see a lot of reports from anonymous
players and, you know, people within the front office and, you know, just people within that
jets locker room, front office, wherever management, wherever, you're going to hear a lot of the
scavenging, scathing reports about Aaron Rodgers.
You are because he's, he's just, he, he's just moving to the beat of his own drum.
And I granted, you know, at this point of his career, you know, he can have a little
bit of leeway and whatnot.
But if you want to set a different tone, if you want to set a different culture, if you
want to change, if you want to have people have a different mindset, then you have to
be the person to do it because you're the quarterback and people look to the quarterback
to change things.
Right.
And if you're just, you know, coming off as lackadaisical, non salon, not really giving
a care about, you know, about trying to win or let alone just be competitive, then guess
what?
It's going to show and it's showing.
It's showing.
And, you know, maybe, maybe things change.
Maybe the, maybe the, the, the switch, you know, changes, you know, once the season starts,
I don't know.
But the fact of the matter is I'm not surprised that something like this has come out and
I would not be surprised if more stuff comes out before Thanksgiving.
I would not be surprised.
Now on to dabbosweenie.
Yes, we're, we're doing something with college football.
We finally decided, well, I finally decided to do some with college football simply because
it's college football.
I mean, NFL football is great, but we, who was a lot, there's a lot going on with, with
college football.
So dabbosweenie, you know, head coach for, for Clemson basically just got a viscerated.
I'm talking about a viscerated by Georgia this past weekend.
And you know, a lot of Clemson, you know, fans are really pissed.
Oh, they, they want, they want dabbos, they want dabbos front and center.
I'm talking about bringing him here.
He must go immediately.
They lost to Georgia 34 to three, 34 to three.
That scoreline right there is a scoreline of basically the older cousin being the younger
cousin.
Okay.
That's basically what it is.
And this is horrible.
Okay.
So they, these, these just a few notes that, that I decided to, to jot down before, before
we get into the, you know, the meat and potatoes about this particular topic.
So as of right now, dabbosweenie has a, has 170 wins, 44 loss record, eight, eight ACC
championships and two national championships, both in 2016 and 2018 hasn't appeared in the
playoffs since 2020, he has a buyout according to the spot rack of 60 million in both this
year and next year.
He's you know, he's, he came to speak, he's had multiple players, you know, come out
and be successful to Sean Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Mike Williams, T Higgins, Justin
Ross, Hunter Renfrow, Travis, ETN, just to name a few.
And you know, Clemson has not started a single transfer player in the portal era.
And you know, they were the only team to not add a transfer this off season.
So when we look all, when we look at all of this, this is what I will say.
And this, this is, you know what, this is a perfect analogy to run with it.
You ever know, or you ever, you ever heard the, the analogy, if it's not broke, don't
fix it.
That's what dabbosweenie is.
If it's not broke, don't fix it.
Right.
And you know, for the longest time, you know, during, during the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018,
you know, he was, he was at the top.
He was at the top of his game.
He was the Krim De La Krim.
You know, Clemson was a place that a lot of people wanted to go to.
A lot of people, you know, switched their, their transfers and I mean, they're not transfer,
switched their commitments from other colleges and went to Clemson.
Well, not just because of the notoriety and the aura and those different types of things,
but now it's basically become stacked in, you know, and it shows, it definitely shows.
And granted, I understand Georgia is the, is, you know, one of the best college football,
you know, teams, you know, in, in college football, I get all that.
But at the same time, 34 to three, 34 to three D, uh, Dabbo, that's not good.
That's not good, bro.
That's horrible.
That's absolutely atrocious.
And you know, if, if I'm a Clemson fan, I would, I would right, uh, rightfully be upset
because since, since Trevor Lawrence was the quarterback, they have not done anything,
anything, and that's horrible.
You, you are living in, in an era now where the transfer portal is basically your best
friend if you're a coach, right?
And you have to rely sometimes on the transfer portal and I get it.
I understand that you don't want to do different things and change might be different and all
those different types of things.
I get that.
But at some point you have to adapt to the changing times.
And if you do not adapt to the changing times, you yourself are going to be stagnant and then
you are going to fail.
And that is what happened with Clemson, right?
Because remember Clemson used to be a almost, uh, a factory and I'm talking about, they used
to produce multiple first rounders and you know, high quality, you know, players now
do, did all those players, you know, pan out?
No, not really, but that's another story for another day though.
But you know, but when we look at it now, it's just, it's everything has just become
stagnant with them.
Both sides of the ball.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're still running the same offense that they did in 2016 and
2018.
I would not be surprised.
I just wouldn't.
I have to make some changes at some point.
And you know, to the people that would say, well, what about Nick Saban and what, what
is that?
The reason why he left Alabama?
No, the reason why that he left is because he realized and he knew that he could not
do his job effectively with the NIO and with the structure of the NIO in place.
He knew that he knew that I can't, I can't do my job as a coach.
And try to bring the best out of these players when, when all we're talking about is money.
Right.
And, you know, you're having, when you're having players who have NIO deals where,
you know, they're getting five or six million a year or better yet, there is an NIO deal
and I'm not lying when I say this.
I think he is the quarterback for Ole Miss.
He literally gets a private jet to go to any of the college games if you wanted to.
I'm going to say that again, just in case, just in case you didn't hear.
Right.
I'm going to get a little bit closer to the mic so you can hear me.
Okay.
There is a quarterback from not mistaken at Ole Miss, Ole Miss, who has an NIO deal
where he gets a private jet to go to any of the college football games.
Now, if you're someone like, like coach Saban, who coaches hard and, you know, emphasizes
on hard work and, you know, all those different types of things, you would lose it.
You would lose it because it's like, bro, I can't, what makes you, what, what makes
you different from everybody else?
Nothing.
And, you know, it's frustrating.
So either way you look at it, you know, I think Clemson.
I think Clemson is in a point where they can still go back to being that competitive
team they used to give, not only teams like Alabama and LSU and Georgia and other other
power, you know, power five schools problems, but I think they could definitely be dominant,
you know, in their own conference, but it has to start from the top.
And Dabble Sweeney, you know, has the power and the leverage to make those type of changes.
And if you are not willing to make those changes, well, then guess what?
You are still going to be stagnant and then you're basically going to be pressured to,
you know, to just, to just get the buyout and go at this point.
That's basically where we're starting to get to because when you've, when you saw, you
know, that 2016 Clemson team and especially that 2018 Clemson team, those were, those
were a dynamic, you know, great, you know, college football teams.
And just to see that fall from grace just happening, it's, it's bad.
It's really bad.
And, you know, that's probably why Nick Saban, you know, left when he left because he probably,
he probably saw like, listen, between the NIL deals and everything that's coming with
that, it's probably going to be hard.
And granted, he was somebody that, that was for, you know, players getting compensated
and whatnot, but the, the, the wildness that in somewhat of a, not cowboy, but just the,
the, the dysfunction of the NIL structure is just so bad at this point that when you
have a coach like Nick Saban, who, you know, is, is somewhat old school, it can definitely,
it can be hard because it's like, bruh, how in the world can you try to convince a kid
to, you know, to, to, to come to practice on time, you know, do the drills, go to, you
know, go to class and all those different types of things when he's got an NIL deal
where he gets in, where he gets a new car and, you know, he's making about two or three million
dollars a year.
Right.
Like that's, that's going to be hard.
That's going to be really hard to do.
And that's where we are right now.
And that's why you see certain coaches like Diaboswini who have become stagnant and, you
know, are regressing instead of progressing.
And at some point they're probably going to be kicked out.
Not surprised.
He'll, he'll go down as, you know, as, as if not the best Clemson coach of all time,
one of the best Clemson coaches of all time.
But, you know, at some point you got to get to the end of the road.
You know, if, if I could play Jodicy into the road, I would play it right now, but don't
want to get sued for that.
So we're not going to do it, but moving on to the final topic though.
Yes, we have to talk about the bangles, the bungles.
Yes, the bungles, the bungles.
Yes.
So apparently things are still in, in a somewhat of a crapshoot between the bangles and Jamar
Chase.
And Jamar Chase is still looking for a deal, but you know, it's been really stagnant.
This is what I will say.
Do I think a deal could probably get done within the next 48, you know, 72 hours, probably
before game day?
Yes, it can.
It's happened before.
It's happened multiple times.
But do I think, do I think the bangles have their feet, you know, have their feet in the
sand and then basically drawn their line and basically let it be known that they're not
going to do it?
Yes, I do believe that.
But at some point, you know, if you're, if you're Jamar Chase, you just have to, it
is what it is.
It is what it is that that's the mindset that you have to have at this point, because if
you don't, you, you're not only going to hurt yourself, but you're also going to hurt the
team as well because they need Jamar Chase on, on the field.
They need him.
If Jamar Chase is not in that field, that is a whole different bangles game.
I mean, a whole different bangles team and you don't want that.
You do not want that.
So I say all that to say this, you know, is, is Jamar Chase, you know, trying to reset
the market?
He probably is trying to reset the market, but if I'm the bangles, I'm not about to do
that.
No, I'm not about to do that, especially when I just did it for Joe Burrow.
No, I'm not doing that.
Sure.
I'll probably, I'll pay you in the pain range of between brand IEUIC and who was the person
that just got paid.
Who was the person that just got paid?
I know someone just got paid.
I just, and seeding lamb, I'll probably pay you in that range, but to say that I'm going
to pay you, you know, this crazy amount of money, like more than what, you know, Justin
Jefferson is getting.
No, I'm not doing that.
And I would definitely support that because Jamar Chase is not better than Justin Jefferson.
He's not, not even by a mile is he better than Justin Jefferson.
Come on, man.
What are we talking about?
So, you know, it's, it's, it's just a very difficult situation.
It's a very rocky situation, especially when you have Zach Taylor, who essentially put
his foot in his own mouth and say, Oh yeah, Jamar Chase is going to practice.
Oh yeah.
He's, he's definitely going to be here for practice.
And then guess what?
The next day, guess what Jamar Chase did?
He came there late and in street clothes.
So after that, Zach Taylor was like, you know what?
I'm not going to say anything.
I'm just going to wait and see just like everybody else is doing.
So maybe, maybe not.
But who knows?
Because even when we look at Spirox market value for Jamar Chase, it's only at 31 million.
Right.
So what they have for him is a three year, $93 million deal, which like I just said is
31 million.
So roughly, you know, 31, that's still a really good number.
It really is.
And even then, if the Bengals wanted to, they could front load the deal.
There's so many different ways that they could structure this deal.
So, you know, the longer that this thing draws out, the worse it sort of looks like on both
parties, but at the same time, you know, it's, it's a difficult situation because guess what?
If you pay Jamar Chase, then, you know, you're definitely going to limit yourself, you know,
moving forward.
You are.
And, you know, I don't know if the Bengals want to do that.
I think the Bengals still want to be competitive without having to, you know, reset the market
for this person, that person.
But at the same time, even though I keep going in and out and contradicting myself sometimes,
this is the price that you pay when you draft superstars.
Right.
Jamar Chase, superstar, Joe Burrow.
Star.
Not superstar.
Just star.
You didn't hear from me.
But moving forward, you know, that's, that's what happens.
The case in point, that's why they had to let go of Joe Mixing because, you know, the,
the price tag for the offense started getting a little bit expensive and, you know, it's
just a nasty situation.
But you know what?
I wouldn't be surprised by the time I'm done with this episode and I'm starting to edit
this episode.
Guess what's going to happen?
Jamar Chase, Inc.
I would not be surprised.
And if that happens, I am going to cry.
But I want to end it here.

There might be another episode that might be coming out this week.
I, I, it's starting to look like a lot of teams are beginning to finalize, um, you know,
finals and trying to create some cat space prior to the season starting.
So it's a wait and see.
You're still got a lot of people that want to get paid.
Who knows.
Still got a lot of notable free agents that are out here as well.
Who knows?
But as always, I love you guys.
I appreciate you guys so much.
Thank you again for listening.
Peace and love.
I'm out.
I would say if there wasn't a breaking news of a bag alert, well, just as I was getting
ready to get up and start recording and whatnot, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Someone just had to get paid.
So guess who just got paid folks?
Guess who I just got another baggler.
Sam Cosme guard for the commanders.
Disagree on a four year deal waiting on the numbers to drop.
But you know, all in all, Sam, Sam Cosme has definitely been a consistent guard since being
with the commanders.
All in all, just a great, you know, just a great situation.
Honestly, I guarantee you the numbers are nothing like, you know, super crazy and whatnot.
They're probably, you know, pretty reasonable and whatnot.
But, you know, all in all, they definitely needed to take care of their offense linemen.
And, you know, if we can be real here, Sam Cosme has probably been their best offensive
linemen, you know, so far.
So I mean, well, you might as well take care of him now than to try to, you know, try to
fight tooth and nail to bring him back in, you know, through, through free agency and
whatnot.
So all in all, great situation.
But just know this when those numbers do drop.
I will either post them on the story on our Instagram football underscore junkies pod.
Again, that's football underscore junkies pod.
Or I'll just talk about them in the next episode.
So now this is where we ended.
Okay, this is where we've hit the hour mark.
Okay, this is it.
We're done.
Peace and love.
I love you guys.
I appreciate you guys so much.
All that other stuff, blah, blah, blah.
I'm out.
Peace.
