That Football Show 3/9: Will Travis Kelce Actually Play for Another Team in 2026?

Prime one day deliveries fast.

How fast we talking?

We're talking yoga mats and fitness trackers delivered so fast you can kick off your routine tomorrow fast.

We're talking weights at your door without really waiting fast.

Water bottles and hydration backpacks fast and fast.

Resistance fast faster than you could say feel the burn fast.

More jump ropes just a hopstip and a jump away making it fast.

That was actually a good workout fast.

Fast one day delivery for all things fitness.

It's on Prime.

I will say one thing.

And I don't mean this in like a pro team way.

I just think it's the truth.

This might be a bad year to with with with Brad Beach and the chief.

Because they're they're showing in a lot of ways they're willing to kind of just break

from the past this year.

Coming up the latest episode of that football show here on KC Sports Network.

Is that football show here on KC Sports?

So we're talking frankly hanging out with Matt for your Monday edition.

Your legal legal tampering edition of that football show.

We did legal tamper for this show.

And we are to buy our partners and friends.

Ben Haul they balled and bond bourbon.

I've always got the bottle on the desk here looking at the old mini soft bread wheat bottle.

This is like my breaking case of emergency right.

I guess it's like if it's 11 o'clock in the night of the Tuesday.

Yes, and then I see a breaking news team come down that like Travis Kelsey

assigning with the Browns.

I'm probably going to need to crack this open and house it.

We're going to talk about a lot of abstract things on today's show as we talked about on Friday.

This show kind of has a shelf life of like three hours.

If you're listening to this on Monday.

You're a real one.

We appreciate you.

You're a ball no you're a you're a rider of the that football show.

We do appreciate you.

The bad.

How you doing?

How you been?

I'm doing better than apparently the Travis Kelsey negotiations are done again.

I'm good.

I'm good.

I'm getting ready for what is by the time you go here.

The busiest week of the year.

You think like in our institute.

Oh, the Super Bowl or a lot.

No, it's this this week.

I will not sleep at all this entire week.

And I look forward to the breaking news bar that you know Travis Kelsey has joined the

New Orleans Saints for on a four year 90 million dollar deal at the Saints will restructure

eight times as they're wildly over the cap in 2035.

With seven void years on the end of it though.

It's a three year deal with seven void years.

We've got to be fine.

It's going to be quite an adventure and who knows maybe by the time you're listening

to this podcast, the Travis Kelsey saga is already resolved.

But it was something on Sunday that that came about that I think we got to talk about.

We got to lead with it.

And it's kind of setting up for Travis Kelsey to have multiple doors open.

As Diana Rossini, I believe Jesse Newell also reporting in on this.

The Travis Kelsey is looking.

He's he's looking to come back and play football.

Now the next week's chief doesn't have to move with the chiefs is what they're saying now

what the news is going around out there.

Matt, how flawed would you be?

I think both you and I were kind of settled in the fact of like, oh, he's coming back.

Like we would have had a retirement press conference by now if he wasn't coming back.

So we all kind of think, oh, he's coming back.

How forward would you be if he's playing for the Atlanta Falcon next year?

Well, 12 personality outfits.

I mean, that's the Tony Gonzalez career arc right there.

That is, I would be Jimmy Hoffman.

I've hold Florida.

Like, I really do hate that.

I'd be like underneath the floor.

Yeah, it'd be a Jimmy Hoffman situation.

Yeah, I mean, listen.

I know what happens.

It does happen.

But a lot of times when it's happened in the past,

like, it's happened for one of two reasons.

Either the sides just really grow a part over the years, think Tom Brady.

Yeah.

Or the team was just flat out done with the player.

Yeah, I give you a, you know, Johnny and I is in the Colts.

Joe named it in the Jets.

Franco Harris and the Steelers.

Emmett Smith with his Cowboys.

It was they they were just not going to bring him back at that point.

Sure.

Payton, even though Payton may want to have a great

handful of years of Denver, like the Colts were moving on.

David Andrew Luck.

Like, it's very rare that a player is that great.

And he's been on the team his whole career.

And the team wants him back.

And the guy wants to go back to the team.

And they're just like, yeah, couldn't find a middle ground.

That's it.

Like, is it possible?

Sure.

Yeah, I mean, it's possible.

But I.

I will be stunned if he ends up going somewhere.

And I get a part of this to where you're him.

Let's be real.

I mean, let's just let's just be really honest.

You're not going to some team where you're the second like second fiddle tight end.

So that rules out a whole bunch of teams right off the bat.

You're also not going somewhere, even if the money's greater,

where the team's just going to suck.

Like, you're not going to play on the jets.

Yeah, you're going to win four games this year.

They don't have a quarterback right now.

Wait, what?

Yeah, there's no purpose in that.

He's not a weather guy.

The guy grew up in Cleveland and plays Kansas City.

So it's not like you said, now, I just got to get to Miami.

Yeah, right.

So my whole thing is like, how many teams does that realistically lead?

Like if you just went through the role of exit teams,

how many teams is that like a handful?

Maybe it knows like where?

Is it possible?

Sure.

Do I think it's going to happen?

No, I think if he's playing football,

20 to 26 minutes.

I wonder how much has had to do with the TMZ report that came out

earlier this weekend about

Donicael C. Remodeling or House.

Do you see that one?

Bro, I saw that.

I saw TMZ and Donicael C.

I'm like, oh, my God.

What happened?

Yeah, like what's going on?

We're all in the house.

I was like, TMZ should be putting the bankruptcy for this.

Like what is going on?

They've like sometimes unfortunately, they've done like a pretty decent job in like reporting,

like Rishi Rice details.

And like they actually did a really good job when they reported.

We talked about this with Harvey Teopie.

Yeah, I mean, if anyone knows Herbie.

Herbie's very much the letter of the law journalism.

And Herbie was like, well, TMZ actually did it the best in terms of like reporting the

Instagram post that was put out there, not mentioning any names and like making sure that

was very clear that like Travis or not Travis Kelsey.

Sorry, that Rishi Rice's name wasn't mentioned any of the Instagram posts.

They've done a pretty good job with that.

Now, how they write those things is up for debate.

And that could be a little, it's not fun to have to open up a TMZ story to talk about the

chiefs.

Nevertheless, it's never fun to open up a story and see that the chiefs,

this is I'm taking this direct quote from Diana Rishi in Twitter.

The chiefs remained very much in the mix to re-sign the three time Super Bowl champion

in four time all pro Matt, when you saw that come across your desk,

the chiefs remained very much in the mix to re-sign him.

I thought that was very funny vernacular and very funny wording there.

And my mind goes to, okay, where is this coming from?

Like, who is the who is who is this tweet for?

And it seems sounds like to me, this is just for me, right?

It just sounds like it's some bargain, it's some positioning here,

some leverage gaining here.

Well, let's be really straight.

I mean, this is coming from Kelsey's agent.

Correct.

Well, I don't think I'm way naked out of the background.

I don't think I'm born at the end and spot.

Like, this is, it's just coming from his agent.

Why would it come from his agent?

Because they're not giving them the offer they want.

I mean, that's what, now, here's the real question.

Here's the bottom dollar question.

Is Travis Kelsey ready to walk out of Kansas City and go somewhere else?

I mean, if the chief just said, yeah, Travis, listen, we love you.

One year, eight million bud, that's it.

Is he willing to just go, yeah, fuck that.

I'm going to go play with the Eagles.

Yeah, wow, I hate that too.

You know, like, is he willing to do that?

Is he willing to do that?

Because quite honestly, this is one thing I hear.

If we want indulges for a minute, like, if you're the chief,

there does come a point where, hey, man, we love you, but

this is it.

Like, you're going to be 37.

And I will say one thing.

And I don't mean this in like a pro team way.

I just think it's the truth.

This might be a bad year to fuck with, with, with Brad Beach.

And the chief, because they're, they're showing in a lot of ways.

They're willing to kind of just break

from the past this year.

Like, I know we spent a lot of the last part of the season

averting our eyes.

And so, and talking about the future and being like, well,

they're never going to actually fire Naggy, because they don't do that.

And they're not going to move off these position coaches.

So guess what happened?

They, they quiet fired Matt Naggy.

They didn't.

They allowed fired Conor Embrie and Todd Pinkston.

And straight up, yeah, I mean, he's gone.

You were all over that corner.

And you can't update the website and expect from the free slide by me, man.

I mean, come on.

So like they, and then they brought in the enemy and understand a lot of people were like,

hey, you know, he's an inside guy.

It's more the same.

He's feeling inside guy.

They brought in like everybody else is from the outside.

And they did something over the weekend that is going to go very, very, very into the radar.

I thought was really instructive.

So they brought back Winchester.

That's fine.

They do that every year, right?

Yeah, whatever.

Who cares?

Yeah.

Fine.

They did not tender my Kellianda.

And I know that's like a stupid like over and shut the fuck up.

You know, who cares?

Well, like, with chair, right?

But chairs, my wife said it to me 10 minutes ago.

Like, fair.

But here's why I think that's really instructive.

In past years, if they had anybody who they could, who they could tender,

did it.

Like, if you were anybody on the team, anybody,

they're like, and you're in RFA, it was, again, it's fine.

Just slap the tender on and keep a moment.

No.

And by the way, like, most teams do that.

That's not like a, it's not uncommon practice.

The fact they were like, you know what?

I actually get out.

Was kind of eye opening.

Like, it basically tells you that they were like, no, actually, you know what?

We're not just going to make this easy on ourselves and slap the tender.

We're no, we're going to try to get better.

And back up guard.

Really?

Like, okay, like, it was very, and now like this next bit of news with Kelsey,

right?

I think we all just assumed, like, if you want to play, they'll just give them what

and they were like, no, actually, no.

Like, here's the factor we're going to offer you.

It makes me wonder if there's a part of them

that's like, we want you back.

But we don't need to have you back.

Like, we will rebuild this thing with or without you.

So if you want to come back for a year and our prayer adds great, man,

we'd love to have you.

But we're not going to be like beholden to, you know, 12, 14 million.

And we're not doing that.

And the other part of it is the last part of it was a man, they got 25 million in calf space.

Like, yeah, they can't just give him a fort.

Now they could avoid your stuff.

But they hate the boy year anything.

So do I think he's coming back to Kansas City?

Yeah, I do.

But I think this is showing

among other things.

And of course, I mean, the number one thing is all season McDuffie,

who's like five months where we jumped on him.

McDuffie got paid $800 million guaranteed.

Yes, I said, yeah.

And for anyone who just broke off the street, it's $100 million guaranteed.

But it's still like, when I was talking to a source in Kansas City,

when he got traded, the chiefs were like 90-ish.

And that was kind of the breaking point.

He got 100 million guaranteed.

The chiefs have shown this off scene.

They will do a lot of things they do not normally do.

Uh-huh.

Maybe, look, do I think it'll be back yet?

Like maybe Kelsey's the latest thing.

Maybe though I travel, we love you, man.

But like, here's the offer.

That's it.

You want to come back and play on this?

Awesome.

You want to go somewhere else and play?

Fine, but this is it.

This is what you're getting.

It's interesting to know.

Last year, he met his, his cap hit was $19.8 million.

I wonder where that number starts for Travis Kelsey's camp.

I wonder if that number is like, okay,

I know I've taken a step back.

Give me 16.

You know, or we'll give me, I'll take 17.

Where that number is?

Or did Brett Vitch slid the little post note across the desk?

And it was just kind of like an insultingly low number.

Right.

I'm just like, hey, we can probably afford you for this right here.

And they looked at it and said,

well, we'll play elsewhere.

Well, we want to play football.

We'll play elsewhere.

So I think this is all just like part of the outward negotiating.

I'm sure you'll see a report too that'll come out and be like,

that she's really really in the mix that they really want,

they really want Travis Kelsey to come back.

They're might open for Travis Kelsey to come back

because that's just what you'll see play out.

Right.

When in terms of like this positional bargaining, I guess,

we're really just like posturing public,

public posturing when it comes down to these negotiations.

I truthfully would be floored.

And it will be jarring if like on Monday at 11 o'clock,

we get a tweet that comes out that says,

Travis Kelsey signing a three year deal with the Cleveland Browns

to return home.

I would three year 42 million dollar contract.

I'd be like, holy cow.

Yeah.

I'd be shocked.

I'd be stunned.

And we'd be doing a breaking news team for that.

I tell you that anything that Travis Kelsey does,

there will be a breaking news team for

because that's just, you know,

future Hall of Famer.

First ballot, probably Hall of Famer.

Yeah, definitely.

And when anything he does, we will be live for.

But yeah, very odd day on Sunday of

hearing a slow leak of Travis Kelsey news.

As everything comes down,

you mentioned the Tremac Duffy contract.

I want to talk about that a little bit because,

oh, man, that number is, is high.

This is from Adam Schefter.

He says Ransom Tremac Duffy recent agreement

on a record four year, $124 million

extension that includes a hundred million of it.

Guaranteed makes in the highest paid cornerback

in NFL history.

Yep.

A hundred million dollars is a ton.

And we talked about on the last show

where like $90 million would put him in terms of

guaranteed money.

Like one of the highest guaranteed money

players that wasn't a quarterback or an edge.

And now he is, is like the highest guaranteed money

that's not a quarterback or an edge.

So Travis Tremac Duffy said in his family

up and then for years,

generations, hopefully with that kind of money.

Yeah, depending on whatever happens in the world,

hopefully generations with all of that.

But if the chiefs gave him that contract

Matt, how are you feeling right now

if the chiefs gave that contract?

I mean, I kind of figured if they kept them,

he'd give about 30 million a year.

Now, a hundred million guaranteed is

a lot, a lot of money, man.

And listen, I'm thrilled for him.

That's awesome.

Stan Cronk, he can afford it.

He's okay.

But now I gotta tell you,

let me put this one, because this isn't about

McDuff, he's more about the way it's where the team's at.

I would have been very against

signing him to $100 million guaranteed

based on the fact they need a lot of different things.

I mean, $100 million is five really good players.

Like really good players.

That's not, I mean, that's,

you could probably sign

five Brian Cook level players.

That kind of money.

Yeah, you know, minimum four of them.

And that is,

well, he's a great player.

Also, my opinion to that deal is,

is he gonna play in the slaughter?

Is he playing the perimeter?

Because if he's playing outside,

I gotta tell you that contractions say.

Let's just,

again, then repeat myself.

Well, let's just be honest.

As a slot corner, he's best slot corner in the NFL.

Sure.

Absolutely.

As a boundary corner,

he's,

he's a very good player.

He's not great.

And he was not great in Kansas in the outside.

I would argue that Jalen Watson was every bit

as good as Trent McThough he on the outside the last two years.

I don't even think that's controversial.

I mean, that,

look, he's, he's awesome.

But the pay $100 million and then presumably stick him on the boundary.

Yeah, if I'm the chiefs, let's put it this way.

If you're the Rams, you throw it, you have them.

It's a lot of money.

Fine.

If you're the chiefs, you have four draft picks

and $100 million to spend in cash.

That's not the worst thing in the world.

I think if you're the chiefs,

you're not exactly regretting that trade at the moment.

No, God, I don't think so.

You look at the highest paid cornerbacks right now.

Trent McDuffee is at the top in terms of a per year basis, right?

Trent McDuffee to the top 31 million APY sauce gardeners 30.1 million.

They're extremely 30 million.

JC Horn's 25 million.

Jalen Ramsey still 24.1 million.

Wow, that's crazy.

He's that high.

And Pastor Tam is 24 million.

So we, you and I were talking about before this.

Right.

Shout out to Broncos for getting that one done when they did,

because Pastor Tam looks like the biggest bargain in the NFL right now.

And by the way, they did the Shenoo with Nick Minina.

Yeah, they got that done really early.

Meanwhile, the chiefs, it basically takes a hostage negotiation to get Chris Jones done.

I mean, Chris Jones is being like flanked as if he was the president coming into for week one.

Still the funniest thing I've ever been in the stadium for, not even close.

That night was complete lunacy.

You've got him being flanked.

There's all this stuff going on with Kelsey got hurt like two nights prior to that.

He's not playing.

Then they dropped 800 passes, including a pick six.

And I remember coming out of a building in the early 12th.

So I'll be dealing with quite a good team.

They barely lost.

They dropped 800 passes.

They won't do that again.

And that was the entire season.

And then they won the Super Bowl anyway.

Right.

That season should be studied a thousand years from now.

But it is what it is.

Yeah, listen.

This is going to be, I could be wrong.

And by the time people listen to this, I might be already.

There's going to be a really, really interesting next.

I don't know, 96 hours for the chiefs.

Yeah.

You know, because if you take a history lesson from pre-agency,

one or two teams are going to spend like absolute assholes.

Like to get away that as it's happening,

you're like, oh my god, the dead money is going to be ridiculous in two years.

Like, yeah.

And I don't want to name names.

The Raiders are the leaders in the clubhouse.

Like, if there's ever a team that's just going to,

we got 120 million space.

We got Geno Smith off the books kind of.

We traded Max Grozby, by the way.

There was a report Geno Smith and the Jets might happen,

which is just unbelievable.

That would be insane.

Yeah.

Only the Jets would get him when he sucked.

And then he just, and then when also he sucks.

And then he sucked again.

Yeah.

He just missed all the good part.

Now, I would about employees.

The Raiders seem like a team that's ready to do that.

Also, let's not rule out what the commanders might have in store.

Sure.

Right.

I said this on my own pop, but it bears repeating here.

Usually when you combine dumb and desperate,

you get hilarity and pre-agency.

Those two teams are just prime for complete insanity.

Throwing on it.

And I think like the Patriots will be aggressive.

Some other teams, but the next 72 to 96 hours with the Chiefs.

Let's put it this way.

But at the time Tucker and I are back on Friday.

This is either going to be like, man,

Veech Cook.

They got, they got, you know, Walker, ETN.

They got a receiver.

They got, they got an edge.

Like, well, they're so back, but you know, Kelsey's back is full.

Or they've, they've signed

might Dan it or a two year deal.

God damn Jordan.

Can't Jordan's in on a three year 80 million dollar deal.

And they've extended no a gray.

And it's like the big signing they made was like Keywoody pay.

And Rico Doubles you're running back.

Yeah, Kelsey signed with, Kelsey signed to Washington.

And it's it fire Veech.

I mean, I feel like there's very little chance that this is,

there's a big in between.

Like I actually worked out okay.

No, yeah.

Do you know going to be like Veech Cook these God or like,

oh my God, burn the stadium down.

Well, I'm playing the parking lot for next five years.

For the out of Kansas.

And there's no in between.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm frankly so is going to be an interesting one.

It's so funny recording the show right now.

Cause like we can't really talk about a lot.

I mean, we could because because everything's going to happen

after the show posts.

And as it usually does, it's what's turned into a tradition.

Now as we will post something and something massive will happen.

Right after we get done.

But you brought up Max Crosby going to the Ravens.

Does that?

I know that you would you would I kind of have a different

differing takes at least on Twitter about it.

You thought it was good for both sides.

I thought it was very interesting for the Ravens to give up

as much as they did for a 29 year old pastor.

So coming off of a knee injury.

Nevertheless, I think Max Crosby is a phenomenal football player.

I think that that's still really good.

Does that give you any has like a look?

Oh, maybe the Ravens will be good next year.

No.

Good.

Okay, we're on the same page that yeah.

So like I did the trade grade for SI.

And I gave both teams an A.

And here are my reasons for giving them an A.

The Raiders is pretty straight forward.

Like he's not going to be there when they're good because

he may not like you may we all maybe dead before they're good.

So like he's going to be 29 before the season starts.

The odds of him still being a big time impact player when they're really competing for anything

or well, okay.

Yes, you have that.

Then there's the other side of the coin where you're the Raiders.

Listen man, it's too first round picks.

You need to take some swings to get better with young cheap talent.

Time.

The Ravens are the more interesting part of the story here.

And my reasoning for giving them an A is this.

Well, more is 29 years old.

Real last five years, he's had serious time missed with lower body injuries.

I think it's fair to say when his legs start to really slow down,

I'm not saying he's not a good quarterback.

He's a wildly different quarterback.

Mm hmm.

They got to kind of try to win now.

Yeah.

Well, Holmes and Alan at 30 are different than Lamar Jackson at 30.

The star trying to like when Cam was like the peak of his career.

And Lamar's better than Cam.

Cam might be the most overrated player in the history based on one unbelievable season.

Don't say that to me.

I said it.

I don't care.

I'll say right to your face.

He was he was incredible for one year.

That one year was fun.

And that's all I knew is like good for like three others.

But in any event, his number of riders, he was like

some scrub.

I got a listen.

After he lost each man, he was throwing a Jericho country.

Yeah, I remember him and Ted Ginn.

And get a Jericho country.

And he wouldn't be with those guys as one receivers.

Yes.

And then like,

wholelariously overweight kelvin Benjamin,

who then ended up in Kansas City.

And it was like, is he alignment?

Bad.

Like he's wearing number 68 out there.

But in any event, look, if you're the Ravens,

I totally understand that they probably were just like, look, we got to win now.

We got to win now.

Henry's not getting any younger.

Lamar's got some of the, you know, the, the, the, the,

the dominoes getting up on there and him on him.

And it's like, like, we just signed Mark Andrews to a 27 year extension,

despite the fact he started.

Like we, we, we, we need to distract from that fact.

Like whatever it takes.

Okay.

I don't want to be able to forget that we did that.

Like we need to do now.

And so I get it.

Now the flip side of that is,

was in the last two years of Max Crosby had been really quality years.

They were not the two years prior when he was one of the three or four best defense players.

NFL.

Sure.

The last two years have been, hey, man, he's still a really nice player.

Yeah.

But like, he's, like, he had 20 quarterback kids last year.

Carloft has had significantly more than that.

So if you're getting the play, if you're the Ravens,

you're getting the guy from the last two years, he's good,

but he's not worth two first round facts.

If you're getting the guy played 20 to 20 to 23, he's worth it.

Like the reason though to answer your question, I don't think like,

does it make me scared of them or do they never win shit when it matters ever?

No.

And I got to be honest, and I know I know like this is like,

oh, he's like the third rail thing.

It's because Lamar is stunk in these games.

Let's just be honest.

You know, instead of doing the whole like,

let's tap dance around this for happening, he sucked in big games.

He sucked.

He's one of the worst interceptions in one of the most hilarious interceptions

I've ever seen in my life.

He did do that.

Doing that ball went up and GBS pan to the end zone.

The only question was, are they not going to pick this because they all are fighting each other

to the death to pick this off?

Right.

I mean, he's been awful in these games, awful.

He was horrendous in both Bill's games.

Like, look, if he's not better,

then it doesn't matter.

And the other side of this is too like other than Jay Flowers,

who the hell do you care about the passing game on that thing?

It's a good point.

Yeah.

So, does Crosby make him better?

Yeah, sure, but like,

they've had the number one defense at times and not been able to do anything.

So, does he make them better?

Yes.

Do I think all of a sudden like, oh no, no.

I mean, until more plays bear in the playoffs game, no, not really.

Do you remember when we looked at it?

Was that last, was that literally Friday when we looked at

who the Superbowlads and the Ravens were off there?

Or like, why the hell are the Ravens up there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did the book makers know something?

Do you think they knew that something was going down?

Maybe, I mean, maybe a little, but I still,

I think it was a lot of just, uh,

to handlisten.

You know what, they're, they're always in the mix.

The March Bump, you know, the, the usual March Bump from there.

It's like every big of the charges when the division in July, right?

It's like the masters.

It's a tradition unlike any other.

You know, we just need nants like, you know,

hello, friends.

Like, when you come into the betting markets,

it's like the chargers are minus 190.

And then we, you just fast forward with the week's evidence, Herbert,

destroying a whole area's pick and crunch time.

You know, and like 19 guys on the IR.

Yeah, it's chargers, right?

Football's back.

Yes, um, by the way,

that's what we need to go and grow deep in the week's evidence.

Did you see what they gave Clio Mac?

Uh, way more money than they should have.

Did somebody in that front office have a stroke?

And it was just supposed to be 1.8 million.

They're like, oh, shit.

And then they just hand out 18 million.

Like, I, he's, he's still a good player.

Sure.

18 million is an aggressive amount of money.

Old is he.

He's like 35.

Good lord.

Yeah.

He'd five sacks.

Well, sure.

The fact that his longest senior team is going to be with the chargers.

It's hard to say.

I don't forward the Raiders forward the Bears.

And now this is year five and it's charged crazy.

Does he just decide out of dignity when he goes to Hall of Fame to just go in as an NFL player?

Does not claim any of the three franchises.

But you actually know, I always want to go in as me.

Yeah, um, I don't need, I don't need to go in as a David.

Um,

yeah, look, it's like 18 million for him.

And then they signed Tyler Blados to three and 30 to be the center.

Yeah, before it's all things starts because he was caught from washing from washing.

Yeah, I feel like they're setting up.

So the day, like, 18 million before you're going to eat the Khalil,

and then like, also Blados.

So you don't play underbomb.

And it's just going to be an otherwise all season with the chargers.

We ended up with like 70 million in cap.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Spanish is like, Hey, I mean, we signed guys.

I spent 18 million on Mac is insane.

You have to tweet, you have to tweet to a load.

I can't ever say for me.

Yeah, I know who talking about to.

I always talk to the Santa.

You're probably giving that dude like 25 30 million a year on extension here.

Sooner or a year, one year left, the thing that makes me wonder though,

it's like the Daufe, oh, he coming back.

Great question.

You used to give 18 million dollars to senior citizen Khalil Mac.

Is it always going to come back?

Because if not, I got to say, if I were the chief, he would be at the top of my list.

I'd give him the Joanne Taylor special on what you think.

I didn't tell him, hey, listen, we're going to give you the Joanne Taylor contract.

And you also can just line up incorrectly like three times a game.

And it'll be fine.

Just get 10 stacks.

Yeah, they need someone to rush the passer.

And I'll be interested to see how active the chiefs are day one.

How much activity they go day one because sometimes, you know,

they'll have their home run signing on the first day.

Then they'll have a couple of moves trickle out on Tuesday.

And the league knew your starts out on Wednesday.

Then you might have one trickle out.

But then they'd use a pretty quiet until then.

I think like the technically like the free agent period is from like March 11th

to April 17th.

I was reading something from the NFL that was on email.

They sent out and said that it's like,

it doesn't count against like there's like certain.

Yeah, it's they're basically they're bookkeeping things that like they

they get around with some technicalities there.

But and so they have like this whole like month-long period,

practically to sign all these guys.

It will be interesting to see how they approach it and who that first signing will be too.

I'm like, who will be the guy?

Now, obviously, the first sign doesn't mean like,

hey, this was the guy that we were out like we were trying to get to hard work the hardest on.

This is our home run signing.

This is our number one signing.

I like Jayla Moore was that last year, right?

Like maybe that probably was in that case who they were trying to they were trying to get a left

tackle. But then I think a couple of the day later it was Christian Fulton.

Maybe they were trying to work a little bit harder on Christian Fulton.

I know they really like Christian Fulton.

So I'll be interested to see what position group it is that they hit first.

You'd be like, okay, well, you can have the Walker right when right when free agency opens.

All right, they really cared about running back.

They were really going after running back.

I will laugh hysterically.

If it's like 1201 Eastern and the Chiefs, it's just like, we signed Kenneth Walker and

Travis ETN and we're going to trade one for a first round pick.

Right, this corner of the market, they're just like, yeah, we have all the running backs now.

Give us another first round pick.

We will be running the ball.

We will make the Ravens look like the running shoot oilers.

Yes, like we have two third down or two first and second down running backs.

No one's playing third down.

Honestly, the funniest thing they can do.

Is if it opens up and a 1201, they announce a resign of Kareem Hunt and then wait like

five minutes and then then then announce he's on get Walker, Travis ETN.

That would be hilarious.

If they just like everybody else, it's like the first minute of free agency and they're like one

year, three million Kareem Hunt and then it's just like a white and then they're also,

by the way, you had Travis ETN formed, you know, 40.

Yeah.

All right, we need to have Walker or ETN.

I was going to ask you the same thing after the break, but I'll, I guess I'll answer that.

Hey, well, you're going to now, yeah.

After this.

Cheers.

I had a loose broker owner, KC Local Homes, and Imprized Bank has been a great partner for us.

They're our partner and possible. Debbie and I headed off immediately, and she was one of the first

bankers that I would say sat down with me and actually like, you're newly cared about my story

and where I was coming from and what I was trying to do, not just what kind of loan

they need, how much equity do you have. You know, and she really kind of laid out my options for me

and just made the process make sense. And I felt comfortable with it, start to talk about it and

think about it, a building popped up that I wanted that I could afford and it was in a great area.

And so they really guided me through the SBA, I used the SBA loan to acquire it and really guided

me through that process and made it happen. I think that we talk about that a lot where we wouldn't

have a business. We wouldn't have what we have here if we didn't have the clientele that we do.

I've always functioned out of a people over profits mentality.

It houses sell themselves, right? Like I'm here to help people and facilitate the transaction for them.

Matt, answer your question. I think I would rather have ET in at the price point than Walker at his

price point, if that makes sense. I think ET, I would do. I think Kenneth Walker is a very good

football player, Washington Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP. You can't be a bad football player. Well,

maybe you can't be a bad football player and be Super Bowl MVP. Never the last.

Oh, you can't be. It's been done. Yeah. I had to stop myself mid-sentence, but I don't think

that's true. Kenneth Walker is a very fun guy to watch, but the market that he's going to

attract might not be the price point that the chiefs, I'm not going to say want to, but should

play in. I think ET in number and what he does in the past game and what he can do on first

and second downs, much like Kenneth Walker is very attractive to the chiefs and his number is a

lot lower than what Kenneth Walker's reportedly will be. So I think when you take the price into it,

I would rather have ET in. But if it's straight up player, the same contract, I think I take Walker.

That makes sense. I agree. I agree. By the way, it's your point about like Super Bowl MVP's.

One of my favorite thing about Super Bowl MVP is just like, if you're talking about guys,

you're like, who? Who on the MVP? Yeah. Two of the best ones that stick out to me are Malcolm

Smith of the Seahawks from the Legion of Boom. And Larry Brown, who had a couple of picks,

who was just we're throwing right at him by Neil O'Donnell. I mean, app like a whole lyriously

throwing right at him. And after both of those games, those guys are named MVP.

And in both cases, both guys end up going on a free agency within a year. The brown one right

after I think right, I think, or not right, KJ right, the KJ right. Malcolm Smith had, I think

one more year signed in both cases. Both guys went to contracts to the Raiders.

There was like, awesome, great. Larry Brown got a huge nose terrible. And then the other guy,

you're like, who? Dexter Jackson won Super Bowl MVP for the Buccaneers in 02.

He didn't go to the Raiders. He just happened to beat the Raiders in that game.

So the Raiders in Super Bowl MVP, a hilarious history.

That is hilarious. Just going across my desk right now, this is kind of a bummer. I wanted him

to play for the chase better and fullback Alec Engel to something a two year 7.5 million

dollar deal with the chargers. They have now paid a ton of money to. Yeah, right.

They've not paid a ton of money to a really old linebacker or lineman, excuse me, defensive lineman.

And now $7.5 million. He gets 3.9 year one and 3.75 in year two. But I'm a tie. NFL's highest

paid fullback on the only go. Oh, man, I got out there. Why are we mentioning the agents?

Because because now that's the thing. That was the thing that started the NBA and now all these

guys do it. It's like, hey, make sure you don't mention who I am. If anybody gives you shit.

Yeah, the agents are like, hey, maybe the players will say, yeah, I'm sure the players

are surfing Twitter day and night to see who's negotiating these contracts. Right. Yeah.

Clouds. All right. So don't they already have that 300 pound fullback like Matt Lack?

Oh, yeah. Like, don't they? He was a big mother and brother.

Like, yeah, Scott Matt Lack. Matt Lack, excuse me.

Matt Lack, yeah. I just had it this year.

Dual fullback sets for the old, yeah.

You got all these starters who were just like, look, we could wait to try to

cylinder bomb who we have a connection with because our GM was there in Baltimore,

he was taken or we could sign blade us. No problem. Sign blade us. Okay. We could sign a

Daffa. Oh, who's young and was fantastic or we could give Claremack $18 million.

We could sign some defensive help or, you know, in the secondary or maybe a worksheet,

but we also could sign a second fullback. Yeah. What? What?

I can go. It's not bad player anybody. Oh, no, he's not. Yeah.

Yeah. I do wish he would have been in Kansas. That's what I was like, man,

I'd be pretty sick if he's in Kansas City.

Because you know, the last time, last time the chiefs used a fullback,

their offensive coordinator was there at B&M and who knows if that's really the reason

that the chief needed it needed to be good is because they just need to bring back a fullback.

Nevertheless, very interesting to note that they, in January, they resigned tier tarp as well.

Yes, they did. They resigned as we mentioned Claremack and now they've bring in the Washington

Center. Now, Alec Engel, all before free agency has started. So chargers being very active

before the, uh, maybe not getting better. Yeah. Like, nothing is like, oh, wow, they really,

really did this. Like, uh, with 30 million in cash and like, I don't know that

they're getting angled more in year one than year two.

I just kind of saw. This is really weird.

Old things kind of stretch. Um, yeah, it's, uh, it's interesting. It's interesting.

Also, by the way, if you want a fullback in Kansas City, may interest you in Patrick card.

Yeah, you can't. Yeah, you can. That meant he's a bad mother coming down hill.

You know, and they need a real fullback. Not like Carson steel listed at fullback,

but he weighs 220 pounds. He's like a light tight end. I need someone pushing three bills,

being a, being a fullback, you know, yeah. I need somebody who, if he hits someone in the

hole, he may kill them. Yeah. You know, that's the point of having a fullback. Man, do the Broncos

still have, uh, chiefs legend, Michael Burton? I think he's a free agent. I'm pulling off the

depth right right now. But yeah, I don't want, I don't want some fullbackers who's, who's

hitting the hole. I'm like, oh, step lightly. Like, no, no, the Broncos have two fullbacks.

That's on brand. They need them because they have no quarterback. Adam pretense. They're both

actually free agents right now. Adam pretense and Michael Burton. Are there two fullbacks?

Now to the to the to the to the to the to the to the readers have two fullbacks. No, they don't.

Just to ask you, Gen T. The Raiders, apparently, I'm like two players in the team right now.

Yeah, there's a lot. So if you're familiar with like Harlan's, we talk, I talk about Harlan's

a lot on the podcast, right? I like love that website. It's good for the depth chart. They keep

it up a month and a little time, but they'll like color code stuff. So right now, they have a color

code of like gold as if they acquired them in a free agent. Green names are there. They're unrestricted

to free agents and they have restricted and exclusive refrigerators on there too. A lot of green

on the the raiders page, a lot of green going on for just free agents. And that's

first line, second line, third line, you name it. There's green, I think, on every single position.

The Raiders, I don't think it's aggressive. The Raiders, depending on what they don't

for agents, you might like an expansion to you.

Although, like, as we sit here, and also I get it, you got two for a framp,

critics aren't you got? As we sit here, the only guy in the Raiders who's even good is Brock

Bowers. Um, Colton Miller, I would give, I still think Ash and Gen T's good.

Maybe that's over ambitious for Ash and Gen T, but I mean,

can I ask you, Gen T, you have it four yards of carrot?

Well, no, but he's also had traffic counselors off into one. Yeah.

I think I think Ash and Gen T, if you plug them in Kansas City's offense, I think it's a lot

different than Ash and Gen T in the Raiders office. Uh, yes, that's probably accurate.

Uh, they're quarterback situation right now, by the way, because they did cut Geno Smith,

and then Wendy's went at Geno Smith, and then Geno Smith went at Wendy's. I don't know if you

saw that whole Twitter beef going on. I did. And I, I got to be honest, I appreciate that Geno

Smith linked an article and lit Wendy shop. I was like, damn. And then he was like sub-tweeting them.

And then he was just like, man, this is what's wrong with the world.

I'm here for it. An NFL quarterback being like, you fuck with me.

Okay. Which, if I'm Burger King of McDonald's, he's immediately getting an endorsement deal.

Oh, yeah. Right. Like immediately. Burger King might do it, because Burger King's been doing

some good pub recently. You saw the whole thing. Do you see the whole thing? Like the burger CEO,

like McDonald's CEO was just like, wow, look at this yummy burger. And like barely a bit into it.

Maybe McDonald's should do it because they need to get out of some hot water.

Like our CEO looks like a robot. But the quarterback situation in Vegas.

Actually, the only quarterback that have utter contract currently is Aiden O'Connell.

Not good. Can he pick it to free agent?

Yeah. Which is where he should say. Yeah. He should be a career free agent.

Yeah. The Raiders are in tough shape. I do love how at the at the combine when

they were asked. I think Spiceck was asked about like, what do you need to do to improve your

roster? He's like, we need good football players. We would like someone who can play this sport.

Please. Yeah. We have to get people who are good. Do you think Mendoza is going to be good at the

next level? Like, take it out there. It's chasing the Raiders. Like you think he's going to be good

and if so, like how good? So I think it's a I think he could be good. I don't know if he can be

good for the Raiders because the organizational structure around him. I do think he has some very

like pro traits about his game. I think he has some very good. He's very psychotic about the game

of football. And I think you have to be that if you're going to be a really good football player.

He enjoys football and you can watch him in the tape a little bit too. His progressions are

pretty good. You can see him work through progressions and at the NFL level, that's that's pretty big.

It's going to be how he is able to identify coverage and react to it. I think it's going to be kind

of his big thing. But I don't know if he gets better. I don't know if he can like if he has no

offensive line and in Vegas, right? I don't know like how that's going to help him. I think he's a

very low floor or like high floor low ceiling type of guy, right? He's very much like I think

you and I talked about this. If people are comping you to like you're ceiling being a mobile Jared

golf. That's if you're getting Jared golf at number one overall, you're not like super thrilled

about that. You would rather get like, you know, a good quarterback. So I think he can work in the

right situation. It might be like a Arnold situation where he goes and then like the first team

does not work out at all. The Raiders, that does not work out at all. He signs like a deal to be

a backup somewhere. He gets an opportunity to play and he is then be able to like grow as like

a quarterback and get to the right situation that he needs to and then is able to flourish. But

I don't think it's in Vegas. Yeah. So I kind of I feel like to your point about golf,

because that key seems to be like the comparison to sure, right? He's like, he's going his golf with

feet. And it's like, okay. Yeah. So he's decent. Um, I think you're you're way of worrying

it's pretty spot on. I kind of agree. I think you could be good. But and I like that like

climp kubi access coach. Sure. That that will help. Man, that roster is like, I know they got

two first and a hundred million in Spain, but they're going to need it. I mean, that team is brutal,

man. Like going into free agency that that team, maybe on arguments, Titans, like those are the

teams that have the least talent the entire NFL. Like even the jets have like quite you know,

well, I also quite a wife. These didn't have to worry. Um,

true. Garrett Wilson Jr. Garrett Wilson, uh, and they've got that brief haul.

Like more than here at the team, but you just mentioned, you can say, you know, the brown

sock that they have defense. True. They've got a lot of quarterbacks. The Titans and the

raider are just, man, let me talk about a long way to go. Wow. Yeah. Uh, I'm glad that you

mentioned, uh, QBX because I saw something from Stephen A Smith. This might have been from a

while ago, I think when he was announced as the head coach there, Stephen A Smith didn't think

it was a good hire because he's had, uh, six jobs in six years. But didn't talk about how they

were all promotions. Um, feels like there's just a missing context there. Yeah. He's like, no,

he's had six jobs in six years. Not going to be good. Not going to be good. But like he was,

you know, climbing the career ladder. And that's what you have to do to

the coming NFL head coach. You have to take six jobs in six years, usually, especially if

they're all promotions. You tend to want to take promotions. Yeah. That's usually a good idea.

I mean, well, I don't want to overstate this. Some of you should call the police on Stephen A Smith.

Like, I mean, I, I saw that like over the weekend, and it was over the weekend, he had a take

out like the Miami of Ohio Red Hawks, the pass ball team. Right. Cause they, they're undefeated.

It's again, I'm sure, I'm sure Stephen A's were plugged into Miami of Ohio.

Right. It's a season eight. Name one guy off that. There's no chance. Oh, he's probably

watched as much Miami of Ohio basketball. I have. I was about to say, it's like asking me to

break them down. Like, hey, what do you think? Um, why would I watch Miami of Ohio basketball?

No offense to those guys. Right. But it's not high on the list. Right.

It's ridiculous. Even a, now he's like running for prize. I don't. Sure. We need, we need to

shut the country down. Man, I think if that's what's going to happen, did I send you the screenshot

of his like thumbnail for his podcast? I think I did. It is jarring. It's jarring of what we're

doing here. It's not good. No, it's not. It's not good. Uh, what is good is we are going to name

the winner for the winch at James Winchester Jersey giveaway. Yep. Uh, so shout out everyone

who retweeted that. We had the, we had the James Winchester signed Jersey locked to the load of

Everybody games. All right, Matt. Uh, let's, let's power rank something. We haven't talked about

it. We got it. We got a few minutes here before we got it here. But I think we need to give the

people a power rankings. Some of my first thoughts. And I saw actually a hang on. I wrote something

down from, uh, when I was on Josh's show on Friday that we had somebody, oh, the worst

brain and bean moves was one of them that we should. But I think we need to wait until free agencies.

Oh, there's more time. Yeah, I think that's a good one for us to do. That one's down in the bank.

We're good with that one. I thought of, uh, Brett Beach free agency signings. That might require

some like more deep research or we could just power rank our free agency wish list for the chiefs.

The five guys we want to see the chief sign. That seems most pertinent at the moment.

I'm asked to post that early, aren't I? Because yeah, that's going to get.

I love it when my ideas are, I got good constant ideas. And then like, wow,

that's so much more work for me. It's going to require more. We'll be fine if you just post it

on like Wednesday. Yeah, we want these guys. Nobody's dating of a shit. Right, I'm going to post this.

I'll post it. What have I posted before the episode actually goes out? So people see our,

our right attack a team posted. I don't love an AM central on the dot.

Intact the chiefs at chiefs. Here you go. We did the work. There you go. Rob.

I'll text. Okay, people on the building. Yeah, there you go. I'll send it to you when I get it done.

So this is our, this is our, uh, players power ranking the players who went for the chiefs.

There's got to be a better way for me to word this. Our free agency wish list, right? Let's just

call it that free agency wish list for us here. Uh, we'll do it one to five or five to one,

sorry, as we usually do. Yep. Matt, you have the honors. T boxers years. I guess. I got to send it.

It's off the dome here because, uh, sure, that's his forehand. All right. So,

all right, let me, let me think here for a second. All right. So number five, I actually have a

thing. So I see, okay, I got it in front of me. Um, all right. Number,

number five, if they lose brand, uh, uh, Brian Cook, they lose Brian Cook.

Nick Cross is a cult. Um, he's a good player. He's 24 years old, which is insane to become

if you're working the out 24 years old. Yeah. He played on the round of room. She's always well

coached. Um, he is a guy who I think is still as an ascending player. He's, he's durable. He's

only missed one game his entire career. He basically has been for the cult, uh, two years start.

He played every single snap for 24 and 96% of him last season. Uh, he had two and a half sacks

last year as a good blitzer. I, I think he had five tackles for a loss last year, 60 year prior.

He's got four, I think he's a little bit cheaper than Cook. And look, I love for the Chiefs of

Entertainment, Brian Cook, but if they don't, he would be my number five. There's so much you have

to put into this list now that I've started. I've kind of started to loosely jot my, the names

down. It's like, okay, do I want to, do I want to assume price point as well? Because we just

got to with the conversation about AT&M Walker, right? Like price point. What do they follow on my,

on my wish list? I, I think for me at number five, I think Brian Cook is going to be my number five

that I want them to retain. Um, when it comes down to, I think it's, he's a guy that knows the system

that their safety room is decimated. I think Brian Cook is a guy that makes that plugs a hole for

them in the, in the defense, especially after losing shirt, McDuffy in the trade. You got to have,

you got to have something back there. I think in the safety room and just retaining Brian Cook

might just be a, a stopgap, maybe, maybe plug the, plug the hole of, of the boat this week and

before you run out too many fingers. Yeah, I, I would agree. Um, all right. Number four, Romeo

dobs. Um, so look, I think I've got to find somebody who can point the position. And dobs is a guy

who for my money, well, he's a number two receiver. He's pretty durable throughout his career.

In four years at the Packers, he, you know, he really kind of came on in the last three years,

674, 601 and 13 games. And then last year and 16 games, 724 and six touchdowns,

runs a full route tree. You got great hands. He can beat man, he can beat zone. And like,

you might look at those, I'm saying, you know, 724, I'm not asking me to be a number one. And

be in Green Bay, he played with like nine other receivers. Okay. And can't see he's going to be

on the field more. I, I think dobs can be a guy who gives you 800 to 900 yards in a season.

I don't think he's an over 1000ers guy, but that's not what I'm signing it to be. I'm signing

it to be a quality number two. Like basically two, three with worthy. Like those guys to like be in

that role. And then you have a top tier number one. I think they may have to draft.

But I'll put dobs it for him. I'm going, I'm sticking in house with number four.

Again, I'm going to go Jalen Watson. I think we're signing Jalen wants is a bit more important in

signing Brian Cook in this regard. And this is something that the chiefs have done a lot of

right away. They, they have retained a lot of their talent. It doesn't seem like they want to

do that a whole lot. But I think that maybe on a one or two year deal, I think they're probably

going to for three years at a pretty good price for Jalen Watson. Now the market for both Cook and

Watson could just price themselves out. They could just get be priced out with how these guys are.

But I think we're telling those two guys in the back end after trading away such a big piece

like Trent McDuffy would be on my wish list for number four. So number three for you, Matt.

Jalen Watson. I just think look straight away, McDuffy.

Christian fault. Like I think people have amnesia with this. They basically put Christian

fault in Siberia for 15 weeks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And now everybody's going,

yeah, Christian fault point. Well, Christian fault was like was basically alive for two weeks.

They wouldn't play Christian fault. I'm supposed to feel like going into camp. They're just like,

yeah, great Christian fault. Like I don't, I don't buy that. I just don't. It doesn't mean you can't

play well. But I have no confidence that they're going to just try him out there. It's going to

also get hurt every year for like a month. Yeah. Unfortunately, love no Williams. But again,

and I know it's going to be very good. But like they basically refused to play no Williams for

massive stretches of 2025. True. It'd be nice to have watching in that building. No, okay. He's,

in my opinion, I honestly feel like he can be a legitimate number one corner. And if I've got him

in there and no one on the other side and maybe fault is a third corner and rolling Wallace in

the slot whenever they're not forcing Conor to go down there and make us all just going saying,

I'm good with that. So watching, even if he gets, I don't know, 16 to 18 million, I pay him.

I would give him the money. I think he's worth the money. Yeah. And you mentioned top of the show.

He is just as good a tribute to me on the outside last year. And I think that that is,

that is important when it comes to Watson. Okay. Number three for me,

man, I'm thinking I'm going to get all the guys I want to on this list. I'm going to go with

boy a mafia. And number three, this team desperately needs pass rush. And I think that he is a guy

where yeah, the sack numbers were where they were last year. The sack numbers were

weren't up. But he doesn't need to be the ace for the chiefs. They just need a guy who can

rush the passer and maybe get to a passer a little bit quicker than what a 32 year old

Chris Jones and who moves like he's 47 year old George Carloftus can get to. So I think if you

get me an off speed pitcher, at least have a second defensive end starter that you feel comfortable.

A competent pass rusher. Boy, I think is I feel pretty good about that. So I'm having him at my

number three. Okay. Number two for me is same position. Adafee away. Yeah.

Look, I think other than Hendrix, he's probably going to be the highest paid edge. But I would give him

the money. He's a former first rounder. It's 27 years old. He just turned. Yep. Two years ago,

in 22 for you at 10 sacks. Last year, he had seven and a half sacks and 12 games with the

chargers. I think he's a really good ascending player. And he's a really good player. He, by the

way, is the only ever like you're basically the only place half to snaps. I think you can even

give him a bigger role. He'd lost some more. I love this game. I think he's a really good football

player. And if I'm the chiefs, I wouldn't I would not blink. It'd give him 480. I would give it to him.

I think he's worth it. But at the time you get into the big cabbage, you may have one year of

overlap with Chris Jones. Sure. Yeah. You know, like if there were a big time detackle here,

that might be my answer. But I think of all the past rushing options. Oh, the most I'll put

on them more number two on the list, but number two, yeah.

Man, I've been going back and forth with this one. I think I'm going to go number two. I'm

going to go Travis, TN. I think with him, just in terms of straight talent and straight,

straight player ability, we talk about a little bit with the number there as well with him

with the contract. I think ETN would be a guy that is desirable in terms of that cost effectiveness

in what he brings to the team. I don't think he's the number one guy I want overall, but the number

and they need to really improve running back. I think running back this year, as I start to scan

like the other like the free agency lists, there's not a ton of wide receivers. I love. There's not

a ton of edge rushers. I really love. There's not a ton of defensive tackles as you brought up.

There's not a ton of cornerbacks. So it's, all right, retaining those two guys that cook and

watch that are probably the top two with their position when it comes to those guys. When it comes

to building my list, boy, I'm off. I like him. I know the chief said interest in him and he is

kind of spagsy. I think I'll running back as a position that they really do need to address. ETN,

it gets my number two spot. You get to my number one spot. I know. I don't even, I mean, for all

the reasons you said, I think he catches the ball a little better in Walker and he's cheaper,

I would think. So for me, he's number one. I've got Walker at number one, just because straight

straight up player. I like Kenneth Walker as a player. I tossed around throwing Rashid Shaheed

in that list. I was like, how many Seahawks I really want to put in my list? Yeah. I was going to

get an extension. Yeah. There's so many different variables, but I think that running back is the

spot they can get the best at in free agency. When you look at all the other available players,

I don't know, like Romeo Dobbs is obviously an interesting one and how they can use him would be

so interesting. Mike Evans, sure, he's 32 years old, but like maybe he threw him out there,

but I think that what would make this offense way more fun, Kenneth Walker, we have to actually

think about that guy in the backfield now. So the price might not beat where it is, but I think

that he would be fun in the offense. Well, man, out of the names we just mentioned, if they land

two of them, we should be thrilled. 100% 100%. Like genuinely, like if they land two of them,

we should be that's awesome. That's great. Yeah. So let's see what they do. They at least hit one

or we end up just being here on Friday and the comments are just basically like, I'm going to be

a progress fan now. I can't take it anymore. Yeah. I'm sure we'll get some of those and I'm very

excited for all the free agency things to happen and all the free agency things to take place.

Thank you again to our partners Ben Halle, bottom bottom bourbon for making this show possible,
