Speaker 4 (01:29):
Good morning, what's up, guys?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
How are we doing?
Speaker 6 (01:33):
What up? Baby?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
A lot of NFIL news to talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Man, Yeah, we got lots of soort through in the
next fifteen or twenty minutes, So let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, So this sounds like you have a great morning.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, what do we do.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Now?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I that came off the wrong way. I apologize that.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
No, you're you're good. I mean, what are you gonna do?
Walk back the interview? Now you're gonna tell us that
we failed the physical and you're just gonna walk back
the whole thing and we're not going to go through
with this? I mean, what what the hell happened?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
What might have I might have cold feet? I might
have cold feet about doing this segment.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Is that what you're saying, So what happened?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What do you know?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What is going on with the with the Ravens and this.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well, I mean, I think that there's a lot more
shades of gray than people realize. And to me, like
this goes back to you know, how the trade went down,
and and I think the important thing is for people
to understand like the mechanics.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Of this, right.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
So generally, when a trade is going down, there will
be a point during the negotiation where a team's trading
a player will give its trainer permission to talk to
the other team's trainers. So that happened on Friday. So
at that point, they're trading MRIs, they're trading scans, they're
going through Maxi's medical history, and so you know, that
(02:54):
piece of the process is why generally there aren't a
lot of surprises when a play shows up and does
the hands on physical because at that point, the team
trading for that player has all the information, so maybe
they'll find something, but it's not normal. Did that happen?
So that happened on Friday, And then you know, you
(03:15):
know Max had a party on Saturday night, and so
the Ravens said, you go and do you know what
you've got going on your commitments this weekend and fly
out here Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
You know, So he.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Flies out Monday morning, gets there early Monday evening because
of the time difference, Tuesday morning does the physical and
that's where the Ravens make their decision. And you know,
I think like the the hard part here for the
Raiders was you go through all that, then free agency starts,
and obviously just spend all the money that you spent
on the assumption that you've cleared thirty million dollars of
(03:51):
cap and thirty million dollars of cash by trading Max Crosby. Meanwhile,
the Ravens let seven starters walk thinking that they've got
Max Crossby coming into the building. So, you know, I
think the bigger question than becomes was this cold seed?
And was this the Ravens looking at it and saying, well,
(04:11):
you know, we're not all that comfortable with this, and
Trey Henderson's prices come down, and we'd rather just have
Trey hendrickson and keep our decks right. So my understanding is,
like the Ravens, the questions the Ravens had were based
on longevity and whether or not. And it wasn't about
can Max play in Week one? It was what is
(04:33):
this going to look like in twenty twenty eight? What
is this going to look like in twenty twenty nine?
And if you've only got two years of Max Crosby
or a year plus of Max Crosby is presently constituted,
are you going to give up two first round picks
to go and do that? And you know, I think
that's sort of where the gray area comes in and
(04:54):
the other.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Thing in Brady.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I know you know this, right like, but with these physicals,
this isn't like.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
A pass fale grade like you would get in school.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's more of a score, right, And so a lot
of it is based on risk assessment. And so in
other words, like with the draft pick, right, your doc
might look at a draft pick who has like a
degenerative knee condition, and he might say to the GM
or the coach, I feel, okay, if you take this
guy in the fourth or fifth round, just don't take
(05:24):
him in the first three rounds, right, Like, that might
be the way the grade plays out, the same thing
with veteran players, you know, so if for example, the
Ravens were trading a seventh round pick for Max Crosby
and getting him for five million bucks. They're passing him
on that physical but because of the investment the team
was going to make making him, that score is digested
(05:47):
differently by the team. So that's sort of the background
on it and how this stuff goes down. And you know,
I do believe Eric Tacosta when he says he's gutted
by the whole thing, but obviously he left Max in
a terrible position.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, but the idea that they were going to sign both,
I mean, come on, like that was floating out there too.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
But I don't think that was happening, Like, I just don't.
I mean, it's in on a deep discount. I don't
think that was happening. I personally believe, like this is me,
but I personally believe that Trey Hendrickson was their pivot,
not not not just a piece of a puzzle that
was coming together.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Anyway, agreed, And I think the other thing they probably
looked at us once they got the draft capitol back, is, hey,
we can probably find Linderbaum's replacement or an edge rusher
like Cashus Howe might be a player that we've identified
and think he'll be there based on the needs of
other teams. And that's a guy that would go nice
with Trey Hendrickson. So we accomplish our goal and we're
(06:48):
not spending as much, right.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Are we losing?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh no, it was sounding spotty there for a minute.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Anyway, we are on a really good run with him too.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, although I've kind of come to expect us now though.
For for these.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Calls, you know, will I will say that he did
you know he did come in a little hot. I
mean he used to. Uh so, I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That was had a little bit of a red asters.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't know what, you know what, what did have
a b you got us? Nope, alber Brear is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Absolutely not, absolutely not. I do. I do think we should,
uh we should install a landline. I think that's what
we need to do at the Breer household. We'll just
we'll go ahead and cover the cost, which, by the way,
might be free nowadays if you bundle with whatever is
uh Internet.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Package kid, but that probably would be pretty discounted. I
wonder because Prisco has got a landline.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I mean that's when he slams, when he hangs out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, like and that's that's really the advantage to having
a landline. The whole cord thing is annoying, but the
fact that you can actually physically slam the phone to
hang it up and really make a statement is the
best part about the landline.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, I think that's also part of what Prisco wants
to be able to do at his age. You know,
he wants to go slam that phone.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, Like, to me, if you're gonna go landline these days,
you got to go all the way and go rotary dial, Like,
if you're going to do it, you got to go
all the way through backs a little much to rotary
dial it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And I'm just picturing Prisco sitting on a lounger with
like a twenty foot you know, cord that's attached to
that phone, just so he can get up and walk
around on it. See, And it's probably the same exact
one that he had in his house.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Bill fitting he's you know, he's Prisco is the guy
who's got the recliner where he's got the thing that
drapes over the side to hold the remotes, like the
little the little back of the remotes. Yeah, that seems
like something the Prisco would have. Uh, So we are
we're efforting getting back in touch with Albert Breer.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
He said he was in a spotty spot, so we
are redialing all right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well, as soon as that spot gets cleared up, we
will let you know him. We'll be rock and rolling
with the great Albert Breer. No, Brady, I know you're
a big video game guy. You should listen to this

So we will catch you up with Albert Breer here shortly.
As soon as we get a b we will continue
the conversation as we have the discussion about whether or
not the Baltimore Ravens were on the up and up
with their handling of Max Crosby and the Trey Hendrickson
(09:34):
Fiasca that's going on. So let's let's try it here.
Albert Breer, you with us swing in a miss, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm so hopeful. Every time it's like you're like, no, no, no,
he's there, he's there, He's not.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, I don't uh, you know, hey, man? Is what
it is?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Why do we do this? Let's let's le's take a
break and then let's yeah, let's catch back up with
Albert Breer after the break and we can find out
what the hell was going on in Baltimore. There's also
some other rumblings about maybe a quarterback making a decision
later today. That quarterback would be Kyler Murray. We'll find
that out. It seems like the Minnesota Vikings may make
(10:21):
the most sense there. There's been some rumblings about Pittsburgh,
but it feels like Minnesota is the landing spot for Kyler.
So we will get all of that from the great
Albert Breer as soon as we've got our phone connections
figured out. That'll be yours coming up next here on FSR.

All right, So Albert Preer is back with us here
Ab that was on our end, that was not you,
So we want to take full came.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Yeah, that's crazy. I was like, I was like, oh no,
not again.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Because I felt like we were on a really good
We've been on a really good run with my phone
right like, and so it was like it was like
a flashback there.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
But I guess that was your fault.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Not mine. Yeah, no, that's on us. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So you were saying before we had the connection issues,
the situation with Max Crosby, Trey Hendrickson, the Ravens, So
Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby, the goal was to have
them together, according to Eric DaCosta, and then it didn't happen.
(13:06):
I just ultimately, what are you hearing from people as
far as who made the decision in Baltimore to walk
away from this deal.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Well, I mean I think like ultimately this is you
know again, like I think a risk assessment thing between
the doctors.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
In the front office.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
And so I believe Eric Tacosta when he says he
was gutted to walk away from from from the Max Crosby.
You don't go that far down.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
The line if you don't want to do it, and
you know.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
He wanted to do it now now, you know, like
when you when you start to look at the medicals
and then.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You know, you hear it could just be a longevity.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Issue, and then you're weighing it against like, all right,
do we have Max Crosby minus two first round picks
or just Trey Henderson clean? What would we rather do?
I think that's sort of where the issue comes up.
You know, like if you're the Raiders and you're looking
at this and it's like, well, we agreed to this,
it was done.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
We were moving forward, and here here you are, you know,
three days later, and you're.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Still like sort of weighing your options, like that's not
fair to anyone. You know. You can certainly see why
the Raiders would be upset about that, right, like, because
I think you know, for you know, for most people
that are in these situations, you're past the point at
that point of weighing your options. But because the medical
was what it was, the Ravens, the Ravens, you know,
(14:33):
weighed their options. And I mean, look like I've heard
the same stuff, you know, everybody else, like all the
stuff about them wanting both Hendrickson and Crosby. I just
don't know, like how it was feasible at the level
they're paying Hendrickson. Maybe if they got some sort of
discount on Hendrickson, you can do that, But I don't
think Hendrickson winds up with the Ravens if Crosby, if
(14:55):
the Crosby trade goes through. I think this was more
of a pivot on the part of Baltimore, as I.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Think I said right before we got cut off there, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, yeah, Hey real quick. On Crosby though, is he
for sure raider? I know he says I'm a Raider.
I'm back, I get all that, but yeah, based on
how everything went, I mean, is there a chance that
there'd be another suitor out there? Or do you think
because you talked about the medical grades being a sliding scale.
Is there someone out there who would be willing to
take him on despite what the Ravens were concerned by.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, and that's the thing is Brady's like, I think,
you know, certainly the teams that that loved Crosby going
into this Dallas Buffalo, you know, still still love Crosby
and love have to have Crosby on their teams at.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The same time, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
This becomes harder now they weren't going to pay what
the Ravens paid, which was the top half of the
first round pick, and then a first round pick next
year as well. And the twenty twenty seven draft. Do
we all know what's coming down the pike. It's expected
to be a really strong year in the draft, and
so you know, I think it's I think I think
(16:01):
the I think yes, the answer is yes, that he
is going to be a Raider in Week one, And
I like I that doesn't mean like that the Raiders
wouldn't consider their options if some monster offer came along,
or that Max wouldn't consider something like that if you
know there was a team that he had wanted to
go to. But I think for right now, like everybody's
(16:23):
lost in on Okay, Like we're going to make the
best of this and look like part of it for Max, right.
Like we've talked a lot over the last few weeks
about the fractured trust between between Crosby and the team,
you know, the injury in October, the communication issue in December,
the trade request in January. I would say this, like,
I think over the last like forty eight to seventy
(16:44):
two hours, the Raiders really showed Max that they have
is back, and so I think that relationship is healed
to some degree where it's more palatable that they go
into that they're able to go into the twenty twenty
six offseason and ultimately twenty twenty six season together. Here's
the other reality of it. The Raiders aren't going to
(17:06):
give him away. He's their best player.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Right and so you know it is somebody going to come.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
And offer near what the what the Ravens did to
get them now knowing that the Ravens failed him on
the physical you know, I think that's hard for another
team to do, you know. So it's just it's this
weird spot. Logistically, now, what I could see happening is
he comes flying out of the gate has a great start.
(17:33):
Maybe the Raiders are still struggling as a team, and
then somebody gives him a godfather offer the deadline. Like,
I could certainly see something like that happening, you know,
But for right now, I do think they're all locked
in and together on the idea of giving this a go.
In twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Six, we were kind of Alberber joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio. We were kind of laughing about this
because there was some stuff out there that, wow, you know,
this is really gonna Baltimore handling of this is really
going to ruin the faith that people have in the organization.
You can't trust them, so on and so forth, and
then you know, about fifteen minutes later, Trey Hendrickson signs
(18:09):
for four years and one hundred and twelve million. It's like,
I just wonder, do you get the sense that there's
going to be people who look at the organization differently
because of this, or is this going to be Hey, man,
it's the NFL. Sometimes you got to make tough decisions.
Sometimes things are a little shady, and we're just going
to forget all about this, And yeah, Deion, I.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Mean I I don't know. I mean, like I think,
you know, if you're somebody who is.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Directly involved in this, sure, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Would the Raiders be hesitant to do another.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Trade with the Ravens? Probably would anybody who's like represented
by Max Crosby's agent, like be affected by this in
some way. That's definitely possible too. You know, Time usually
heals those things, you know, and so you know, I
think like anybody, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You're always sort of a you know.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
You're always your reputation is always you know, subject to
these sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And you know, I think the Ravens know that, Like
I think the Ravens know that like.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
This is that this could affect the level of trust
that another team has in them, is you know, if
you're going forward in trade talks with them, you know,
going up to the draft this year. Is this going
to affect them two or three years from now? Probably not,
you know, So, like I think this is possible in
certain ways. There's a short term fallout from this, you know,
for the Ravens. But unless there's like some sort of
(19:30):
pattern of behavior that comes of this, I'd imagine time
will wind up healing all of that Albert.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I want to ask you about Kler Murray. He's visiting
the Vikings tomorrow. It sounds like, is that the most
likely candidate for where he would end up?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Yeah, I think it might actually be today that he's
getting there, But anyway, yeah them today, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I think he like I think that the overwhelming likelihood is.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
That he winds up with the Vikings. Uh. This is
something that Kevin will Donald has personally, he kind of
dived into, you know, is the idea of okay, like,
how are we gonna you know, put some competition for
JJ McCarthy in the room and they regret not doing
that last year and uh you know, so you know,
(20:16):
the easiest way to do that is to to to
go and seek out another reclamation project. So they've studied
over the last couple of months, like what's the right
reclamation project for us, you know, after you know, two
years ago, what they were able to do with Sam
Darnold and even like at the end of that year
helping Daniel Jones out a little bit, and you know,
(20:38):
like they you know, had a short list of names,
and I think Kyler Murray was near the top, if
not at the top of that list of.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Names, and I can tell you Minnesota is.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
At the top of you know, of Kyler Murray's options.
So I think it matches up in a lot of ways.
You know, from a financial standpoint. Obviously, the fact that
he comes in and he's gonna be able to play
in the minimum and they'll be able to stick Cardinals
with the bill for the rest. You know that that
that helps too. But I think this is something like
(21:07):
you know again, like you wanna you want to create
some competition for McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You got a guy who is.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
The number one overall pick. He's a unique player, and
he's a little different, and.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
You know, I think, you know, Kevin's going to have
to do some things.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
To to to to rewire his offense to make it
work for Kyler. But this is something they've put a
lot of thought into, you know, and you know, at
the end of that process of assessing the different you know,
potential reclamation projects out there. You know, guys like Tua
obviously were on that list as well. You know, Kyler
was the name they have circled, and it wouldn't surprise
(21:42):
me if they gets done in the next day or so.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn,
Jonas KNOXX with you here on FSR. So it kind
of seems and reads like on the outside that the
JJ McCarthy situation in Minnesota is almost similar to Anthony
Richardson in Indianapolis, where the leash maybe wasn't that long,
but the organization looked around and said, we got to
(22:04):
do something because this isn't working. And I just wonder
if that's where we're at with JJ McCarthy. And let's
say Kyler Murray's the guy, and I'm assuming he's going
to be the starter. Whose decision was it to draft
JJ McCarthy when they did, and to handle the quarterback
room the way that it was. Was it Kevin O'Connell
involved or this was this really more fallout And part
(22:27):
of the reason why Questiodopa Mensa was let go.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
I mean, I think that there's a lot of moving
parts there. I think so I would tell you the
guy that they wanted and this isn't revision its history.
I wrote it at the time, was Drake May. They
have Josh McCowan on their staff, who you know, Josh
was one of was one of Drake May's high school
(22:50):
coaches at one point, so there's a long standing relationship there.
They really felt like Drake was very, very special, and
so they offered you know, the tenth.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Pick to twenty whatever wherever they were was that they
had two first round picks that year, so I think.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
With ten and twenty three. So they offered ten in
twenty three and then a first round pick in twenty
twenty five, and then there were some pick swaps attached
to that to move up you know, from from I
think it was what was actually eleven move up from
eleven to three. It was eleven and twenty three, so
move up from eleven to three to get to to
(23:28):
get Drake May.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And you know, I think if there was any argument.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Over the way that that went at the time, I
do think Ko was so smitten with with with Drake
May that he would have said keep adding until they
said ntil they say yes, you know what I mean,
Like he really wanted Drake May. So like I think,
you know, if you talk to people there, like maybe
(23:54):
it wasn't so much you know, I disagreement on JJ
McCarthy as it was like how just how far are
we going to go to get the guy that we
really want, and the guy they really wanted at the
time was Drake.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
May Well, a guy that's making a full circle return
as Gino Smith and New York Jets. When he left there,
did you ever think there'd be a chance he would
find his way all the way?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
No? Really, I really liked you know, personally, But it
is it is funny, you know, like the I mean,
I I was on I think it was Versus Eisen
Show the other day and I can't remember the last
time I said the name.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I kN and Polly, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
If you guys remember who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The whole thing.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, So I like it had been it
had been I think a decade since I had said
the name I kN and Polly. But it's pretty crazy, you.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Know, And I think I think, honestly, he comes back.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
It's just a very very different guy. And you know,
I'm interested to see how this one plays out. You know,
it's just you know, obviously there are products of your
history and everything else, and you know, I think Gino
is aware of the fact that he's there to be
a bridge, you know, and there to get them to
twenty twenty seven when you know a lot of people
are expecting there will be a million, you know, potential
(25:10):
franchise quarterbacks in the draft. But you know it's you know,
it's it's it's it's also a spot where he might
be you know, he might be positioned to play pretty
well if you if you look at like their talent
on the offensive side of the ball, it's not as
bad as people are making it out to be.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
It's you got two really good young tackles, an old
Fashanu an Armin Membo, you got you know, a really
good young receiver, and Garrett Wilson. Yeah, brisall in the
franchise tag. I don't know. I look at it and
I see, you know, if you can get another couple,
a couple more pieces in the draft. You got Frank
right there, like a really competent offensive coordinator. You know,
(25:49):
I don't think it's impossible that Gino winds up playing
pretty well. But but again, you know, I think the
goal with all of this is just just bridge your
way to twenty twenty seven, when I think a lot
of people are expecting there's going to be a pot
of gold at the quarterback position in the draft.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I said six will get taken in next year's first round,
and yeah, you know. Pete Prisco pushes back, saying, well,
wasn't this year supposed to be that?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Youto?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I said, no, it's not no, because, like we've been
talking about some of these guys for a while, and
I think especially after this past year, you just you know,
there's a lot of young, talented guys who should be
like I think six will go. Does that number seem
too how to you? Is that about?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Right? I mean, so what I would say is like,
I don't think that there's like there's not like a
Caleb Williams, like where you knew, like we knew at
this point in twenty three the Caleb was going to
be the number one pick in twenty four, right, Like
I think we all felt and we all felt like
Drake May at this point in twenty three would be
like a top five pick in twenty four. I don't
(26:52):
know that we have those guys, you know, but I was,
I was, you know, about a couple of months ago,
I was talking with Todd McShay, you know, who knows
this stuff inside out, and he rattled off eleven names
and so like that through ten.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I threw a ten yesterday and I feel confident that
eight or seven of those are gonna be looked at
the first round guys.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
So that's the thing is that if you're dealing with
that amount of names, like five of them are going
to hit right, you know what I mean, Like some
of them might not, but I mean we can go
through them. It's you know, Arch Manning, Leonora Sellers, C J. Carr,
Julians saying, Brendan Soresby, Uh, you know, Trinidad Chambliss. I mean,
you can keep going. I'm sure Brady you know this
(27:36):
stuff better than me.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But like that, I mean, CJ. Carr, you know double
you said, uh, I have a Dante Moore, Sam Levitt,
I mean he'll be another.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Guy more Dantee Moore might have been top five this year.
Sam Levit' is another one. I mean it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So I mean, you know, you know, the kid I
love that not many people have talked about is mess
to Maker, the kid who transferred from North Texas to
Oklhoma State. I'm telling you something. He might not be
a first round guy. He's a super athletic kid, highly productive,
and I think he's got like a very like compact
simple motion. But like he's just hitting the top that
(28:11):
I mean, like people were down on DJ Lagway. If
he goes to Bailor and plays the way I think
he's capable of, he's another name to throw into the mix.
Like there's a lot of guys in this class. Like
I'm not sure where Saying will be in the end,
where he'll stack up, But it's.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Gonna be like the question with Julian's aside, right, but
he's got a lot of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, but you know that, And then I think how
he handles, you know, pressure, And I think the interesting
thing for Julian sand might be, you know, Tavian Saint
Clair's right behind him. He's a kid who I think
if he goes and plays the way I think he's
going to, he'll be one of those kids we talked
about as a first overall pick, Like he's that sort
of talented kid. It's just putting it all together. And
I do wonder how after this upcoming season, how that
(28:52):
could factor into Julian Sayan's decision if he wants to
go or come back, because I think there's gonna be
so many guys who are draft eligible that are going
to be viewed his first round picks that there might
be something to say, Hey, I can make a lot
of money to come back to school, and I might
be the number one guy the following year if they
still have eligibility, and there's there's obviously a handful of guys.
One to that conversation, Julian would be one, but I believe,
(29:14):
you know, at that point, maybe he says, I'd rather
go now instead of potentially looking over my shoulder at
Tavian Saint.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Clair, right, And like I think, like and there are
a few of them, like Soresby is one. I want
to go back and look more at Sorsby because Soresby
he got hurt this year, but like from by all accounts,
like he's got everything you'd want, right, Like, So there's
just so many guys like that this year. And I
can remember like last year, you know, and I think
(29:42):
this is the difference. Like I can remember like last
year the Garrett us Meyer and.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You kind of like you know, you heard.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
About him and it's like but he's six foot even,
and like he doesn't have a huge arm. And it
just felt like with the guys this year, you're sort
of compromising a lot, you know, where like next year's group. Like,
there's a lot of guys who kind of fit the suit.
You know, like CJ. Card is a good one because
he's obviously got a great pedigree. Everybody knows whose grandfather is. Now,
(30:14):
He's got a year under his belt as a starter,
and when you when you look at him physically, it's like, yeah,
that's an NFL quarterback. You know, Like, so there are
you know, there are there are a lot of guys
that I feel like, you know, we're looking forward in
that year. It's like, yeah, maybe he's not there as
a prospect yet, but there are a lot of like
like like physical traits there that you know you can
(30:36):
work with. Abe.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Before I let you go, what's the team that you
look at based on the early onslaught of free agent
signings because there was a lot of money paid out,
a lot of players you know, got big time contracts.
But what is a team that you look at and
say they made some under the radar moves that I
think may have had a sneaky good free agent window
here to start out the week.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I mean, I might circle back to the Raiders for
you on that one, Like, I like, what the Raiders did.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
You know, just because I think they took advantage.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Of like a depressed market, you know, with the off
ball linebackers got two really good players in Kway Walker
and Nikobe Dean. You know, I think adding like Kowity
pay As, like a former first round pick. I think
that one could wind up, you know, looking good in time.
And Speedy Naylor was the third receiver in Minnesota. He
was kind of buried there, but they really liked him
(31:30):
and like he developed over the course of four years
where I think he whind He's not gonna be a
number one, but I think he'd be like what Rashid
Shiheed was for for Clint Kubiak in Seattle and then
Kansas City.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
I mean, Walker is obviously going to get.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
All the attention, but you know, a couple of the
other signings, like a Lowie Gillman, you know, was a
really really good piece down the stretch last year for Baltimore,
and Kyros Tongo was important as a nose tackle for
New England and like it was going to fill a
specific role on their d line.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So I like how Kansas.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
City sort of set themselves up now where you know,
they felt like going in our two biggest needs, you know,
other than corner now is going to be was going
to be nose tackle and running back. They get those
checked off and now they can go into the draft
where they've got the ninth of twenty ninth and the
fortieth pick, and they don't really need to force anything,
you know, so they could add you know, Kenyon Sadiq
(32:24):
with the ninth pick or a Carnel tape with the
ninth pick and not plank. You know, whereas before it
felt like maybe they had a couple of needs that
they had to take care of, it was somewhere in
the first couple of days of the draft. They don't
really have those knees they have to press anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Get them on x at Albert Briers, senior NFL reporter,

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Time to find out what's left sounds incredible.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Here's the left.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Over by the Ray Road. We got well, we got
some new friends.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yesterday President Donald Trump and Jake Paul, Well, Jake Paul
went to a Kentucky rally where the President endorsed the
social media boxer in running for a political office. Take
a listen.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Now, he's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
He's a courageous guy and a talent guy. He's a
hell of a fighter or two by the way, And
I just want to say, I predict.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I'm going to make a prediction that you will be
in the not too distant future running for political office.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I mean, at this point, why not can I ask this,
how's his jaw doing? Because last time I saw him,
I mean, that was the only thing I can think
of right now is how swollen that thing? I mean,
can he talk? Is he okay?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
It seems like he's fine. I think it's been, you know,
far enough away from that that he should be recovered.
It looks like he's been eating fine you know, he doesn't.
He didn't shrink up or anything post that's supposed to
make well. I just think no, just you keep you know,
when your jaws broken, you gotta eat everything. You know,
everything circlified. So, uh, he seems like he's fine. And
(35:26):
by the way, if he wants to, you know, pursue
a career politically, I mean everybody wants to do it. Now,
Steven A. Smith wants to do it. You know, there's
all sorts of people.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
He has a big beard, so you can barely see
his jaw, so if there is actually any deformities, we
might not be able to see them.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
He didn't have the beard for the fight though, right.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
No, but he has it right now on this since. Yeah,
I think he did. Did he did have the beard, yeah,
a smaller version.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. I don't think he grew it down like that.
I mean, it's been an interesting week for the for
the Paul family. And you've got Logan Paul ducking you know,
these these boxing matches or fights that he's laying out. Now,
You've got Jake Paul righting for political office in the future,
you know, so come a big week for the Pauls.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
You hear the hear the I guess the talk is
the reason that Logan Paul is now backing away from
all of that is because the WWE asked him to
not do it.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Which didn't he already do a fight while under contract
the ww of course.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
And it's also yeah, because WWE the last thing they
want is extra promotion for their company. Yeah, they're not
into any of that stuff. I'm telling you right now.
Tom Brady will be at WrestleMania. WrestleMania is in Vegas.
Tom Brady will be there. They'll have some sort of
interaction with with Logan Paul and this is all of
this is set up and built up to WrestleMania, guaranteed,
(36:50):
and I'll probably save the.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Sense in the world and we're all dumb enough to
buy into it and follow it. So here we are.
But it is said I would love to see Le'Veon
Bell take on Logan Paul, which I believe that was
one of the the players that he put himself out
there to box him. Le'Veon Bell can throw hands, yeah
he can, not sure if you remember when he fought
Adrian Peterson, not great, Yeah, that was that was a
(37:13):
quick ko.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Although I think Lebion Bell's got some other stuff I
probably should take care of. There's some other stuff using
the news.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
For I don't know about all that stuff. I just
know he's got a really fascinating Twitter following or x following,
puts out some deep stuff out there. He does.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
He really does have the Jake Paul brother Like, have
they fought each other?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
No, that'll probably be the finale, right or does no
one care? Because Like, here's the thing is, I think
they both fight on the premise that one side wants
them to win, one side wants them to lose. If
they're both, if they're fighting each other, then it's like
who's going to watch people who want them both to lose?
You know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
He's kind of dangled out there. A lot of people
wanted the Clitch goes to fight fight each other back
when they were dominating in the heavyweight division. It's just
you dangle it out there. It's never gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Yeah, what else we got, Lery ray Well, Brady, you
might be excited for this one. First teaser for a
new golf series on Netflix called The.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Hawk is coming.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
It dropped Yesterday, starring Will Ferrell, and the series follows
a once dominant golf superstar chasing one last shot at glory.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Comes out this summer. Also not a documentary, so this
is no no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It's Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell planted a character. He's the Hawk.
That's the hack.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, stolen from Andre Dawson. What a thief.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I don't think there's anything to do with that. This
is golf, not baseball.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
This.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Uh what's interesting about this is there was a show
that came out with Owen Wilson was called I Like Him. Yes,
what was it called. It just came out. There's either
one or two seasons of it. I can't think of
the name of it. But anyway, I think it got
enough traction that they thought, all right, let's bring in
(39:03):
Will fail to actually play a golfer. In this case,
Owen Wilson played like a former golfer who still kind
of had it. But it's stick stick there there you go.
So anyway, that's how that played out. I think they
saw maybe like a niche for you know, more golf
stories like that. It is wild, like if you fall
some of these PGA players and the stories they telled
(39:25):
the things around it. It is wild, Like I wonder
if they consulted John Daly and some of the some
of the stuff he's been doing throughout the course of
his life.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Isn't John daily sun playing now? Wasn't he didn't he
just do it on a tournament or something like that?
Speaker 6 (39:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, I mean And the best was after one of
the rounds he said, instead of going to the range
of practicing, he was just gonna go hit the beach
for a little bit o.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Good for him, just like Pops, you know, hey, work
for John Daly. He had a great run. Guy chose
Hooters over you know, a more lucrative uh, you know,
resume and golf. Nothing wrong with that. Into Yeah, I
don't know. That's not surprising though, we're being honest.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Good morning, what's up, guys?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
How are we doing?
Speaker 6 (01:33):
What up? Baby?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
A lot of NFIL news to talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Man, Yeah, we got lots of soort through in the
next fifteen or twenty minutes, So let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, So this sounds like you have a great morning.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, what do we do.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Now?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I that came off the wrong way. I apologize that.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
No, you're you're good. I mean, what are you gonna do?
Walk back the interview? Now you're gonna tell us that
we failed the physical and you're just gonna walk back
the whole thing and we're not going to go through
with this? I mean, what what the hell happened?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
What might have I might have cold feet? I might
have cold feet about doing this segment.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Is that what you're saying, So what happened?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What do you know?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What is going on with the with the Ravens and this.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well, I mean, I think that there's a lot more
shades of gray than people realize. And to me, like
this goes back to you know, how the trade went down,
and and I think the important thing is for people
to understand like the mechanics.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Of this, right.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
So generally, when a trade is going down, there will
be a point during the negotiation where a team's trading
a player will give its trainer permission to talk to
the other team's trainers. So that happened on Friday. So
at that point, they're trading MRIs, they're trading scans, they're
going through Maxi's medical history, and so you know, that
(02:54):
piece of the process is why generally there aren't a
lot of surprises when a play shows up and does
the hands on physical because at that point, the team
trading for that player has all the information, so maybe
they'll find something, but it's not normal. Did that happen?
So that happened on Friday, And then you know, you
(03:15):
know Max had a party on Saturday night, and so
the Ravens said, you go and do you know what
you've got going on your commitments this weekend and fly
out here Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
You know, So he.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Flies out Monday morning, gets there early Monday evening because
of the time difference, Tuesday morning does the physical and
that's where the Ravens make their decision. And you know,
I think like the the hard part here for the
Raiders was you go through all that, then free agency starts,
and obviously just spend all the money that you spent
on the assumption that you've cleared thirty million dollars of
(03:51):
cap and thirty million dollars of cash by trading Max Crosby. Meanwhile,
the Ravens let seven starters walk thinking that they've got
Max Crossby coming into the building. So, you know, I
think the bigger question than becomes was this cold seed?
And was this the Ravens looking at it and saying, well,
(04:11):
you know, we're not all that comfortable with this, and
Trey Henderson's prices come down, and we'd rather just have
Trey hendrickson and keep our decks right. So my understanding is,
like the Ravens, the questions the Ravens had were based
on longevity and whether or not. And it wasn't about
can Max play in Week one? It was what is
(04:33):
this going to look like in twenty twenty eight? What
is this going to look like in twenty twenty nine?
And if you've only got two years of Max Crosby
or a year plus of Max Crosby is presently constituted,
are you going to give up two first round picks
to go and do that? And you know, I think
that's sort of where the gray area comes in and
(04:54):
the other.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Thing in Brady.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I know you know this, right like, but with these physicals,
this isn't like.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
A pass fale grade like you would get in school.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's more of a score, right, And so a lot
of it is based on risk assessment. And so in
other words, like with the draft pick, right, your doc
might look at a draft pick who has like a
degenerative knee condition, and he might say to the GM
or the coach, I feel, okay, if you take this
guy in the fourth or fifth round, just don't take
(05:24):
him in the first three rounds, right, Like, that might
be the way the grade plays out, the same thing
with veteran players, you know, so if for example, the
Ravens were trading a seventh round pick for Max Crosby
and getting him for five million bucks. They're passing him
on that physical but because of the investment the team
was going to make making him, that score is digested
(05:47):
differently by the team. So that's sort of the background
on it and how this stuff goes down. And you know,
I do believe Eric Tacosta when he says he's gutted
by the whole thing, but obviously he left Max in
a terrible position.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, but the idea that they were going to sign both,
I mean, come on, like that was floating out there too.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
But I don't think that was happening, Like, I just don't.
I mean, it's in on a deep discount. I don't
think that was happening. I personally believe, like this is me,
but I personally believe that Trey Hendrickson was their pivot,
not not not just a piece of a puzzle that
was coming together.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Anyway, agreed, And I think the other thing they probably
looked at us once they got the draft capitol back, is, hey,
we can probably find Linderbaum's replacement or an edge rusher
like Cashus Howe might be a player that we've identified
and think he'll be there based on the needs of
other teams. And that's a guy that would go nice
with Trey Hendrickson. So we accomplish our goal and we're
(06:48):
not spending as much, right.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Are we losing?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh no, it was sounding spotty there for a minute.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Anyway, we are on a really good run with him too.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, although I've kind of come to expect us now though.
For for these.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Calls, you know, will I will say that he did
you know he did come in a little hot. I
mean he used to. Uh so, I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That was had a little bit of a red asters.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't know what, you know what, what did have
a b you got us? Nope, alber Brear is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Absolutely not, absolutely not. I do. I do think we should,
uh we should install a landline. I think that's what
we need to do at the Breer household. We'll just
we'll go ahead and cover the cost, which, by the way,
might be free nowadays if you bundle with whatever is
uh Internet.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Package kid, but that probably would be pretty discounted. I
wonder because Prisco has got a landline.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I mean that's when he slams, when he hangs out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, like and that's that's really the advantage to having
a landline. The whole cord thing is annoying, but the
fact that you can actually physically slam the phone to
hang it up and really make a statement is the
best part about the landline.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, I think that's also part of what Prisco wants
to be able to do at his age. You know,
he wants to go slam that phone.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, Like, to me, if you're gonna go landline these days,
you got to go all the way and go rotary dial, Like,
if you're going to do it, you got to go
all the way through backs a little much to rotary
dial it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And I'm just picturing Prisco sitting on a lounger with
like a twenty foot you know, cord that's attached to
that phone, just so he can get up and walk
around on it. See, And it's probably the same exact
one that he had in his house.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Bill fitting he's you know, he's Prisco is the guy
who's got the recliner where he's got the thing that
drapes over the side to hold the remotes, like the
little the little back of the remotes. Yeah, that seems
like something the Prisco would have. Uh, So we are
we're efforting getting back in touch with Albert Breer.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
He said he was in a spotty spot, so we
are redialing all right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well, as soon as that spot gets cleared up, we
will let you know him. We'll be rock and rolling
with the great Albert Breer. No, Brady, I know you're
a big video game guy. You should listen to this

So we will catch you up with Albert Breer here shortly.
As soon as we get a b we will continue
the conversation as we have the discussion about whether or
not the Baltimore Ravens were on the up and up
with their handling of Max Crosby and the Trey Hendrickson
(09:34):
Fiasca that's going on. So let's let's try it here.
Albert Breer, you with us swing in a miss, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm so hopeful. Every time it's like you're like, no, no, no,
he's there, he's there, He's not.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, I don't uh, you know, hey, man? Is what
it is?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Why do we do this? Let's let's le's take a
break and then let's yeah, let's catch back up with
Albert Breer after the break and we can find out
what the hell was going on in Baltimore. There's also
some other rumblings about maybe a quarterback making a decision
later today. That quarterback would be Kyler Murray. We'll find
that out. It seems like the Minnesota Vikings may make
(10:21):
the most sense there. There's been some rumblings about Pittsburgh,
but it feels like Minnesota is the landing spot for Kyler.
So we will get all of that from the great
Albert Breer as soon as we've got our phone connections
figured out. That'll be yours coming up next here on FSR.

All right, So Albert Preer is back with us here
Ab that was on our end, that was not you,
So we want to take full came.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Yeah, that's crazy. I was like, I was like, oh no,
not again.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Because I felt like we were on a really good
We've been on a really good run with my phone
right like, and so it was like it was like
a flashback there.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
But I guess that was your fault.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Not mine. Yeah, no, that's on us. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So you were saying before we had the connection issues,
the situation with Max Crosby, Trey Hendrickson, the Ravens, So
Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby, the goal was to have
them together, according to Eric DaCosta, and then it didn't happen.
(13:06):
I just ultimately, what are you hearing from people as
far as who made the decision in Baltimore to walk
away from this deal.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Well, I mean I think like ultimately this is you
know again, like I think a risk assessment thing between
the doctors.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
In the front office.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
And so I believe Eric Tacosta when he says he
was gutted to walk away from from from the Max Crosby.
You don't go that far down.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
The line if you don't want to do it, and
you know.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
He wanted to do it now now, you know, like
when you when you start to look at the medicals
and then.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You know, you hear it could just be a longevity.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Issue, and then you're weighing it against like, all right,
do we have Max Crosby minus two first round picks
or just Trey Henderson clean? What would we rather do?
I think that's sort of where the issue comes up.
You know, like if you're the Raiders and you're looking
at this and it's like, well, we agreed to this,
it was done.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
We were moving forward, and here here you are, you know,
three days later, and you're.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Still like sort of weighing your options, like that's not
fair to anyone. You know. You can certainly see why
the Raiders would be upset about that, right, like, because
I think you know, for you know, for most people
that are in these situations, you're past the point at
that point of weighing your options. But because the medical
was what it was, the Ravens, the Ravens, you know,
(14:33):
weighed their options. And I mean, look like I've heard
the same stuff, you know, everybody else, like all the
stuff about them wanting both Hendrickson and Crosby. I just
don't know, like how it was feasible at the level
they're paying Hendrickson. Maybe if they got some sort of
discount on Hendrickson, you can do that, But I don't
think Hendrickson winds up with the Ravens if Crosby, if
(14:55):
the Crosby trade goes through. I think this was more
of a pivot on the part of Baltimore, as I.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Think I said right before we got cut off there, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, yeah, Hey real quick. On Crosby though, is he
for sure raider? I know he says I'm a Raider.
I'm back, I get all that, but yeah, based on
how everything went, I mean, is there a chance that
there'd be another suitor out there? Or do you think
because you talked about the medical grades being a sliding scale.
Is there someone out there who would be willing to
take him on despite what the Ravens were concerned by.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Well, and that's the thing is Brady's like, I think,
you know, certainly the teams that that loved Crosby going
into this Dallas Buffalo, you know, still still love Crosby
and love have to have Crosby on their teams at.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The same time, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
This becomes harder now they weren't going to pay what
the Ravens paid, which was the top half of the
first round pick, and then a first round pick next
year as well. And the twenty twenty seven draft. Do
we all know what's coming down the pike. It's expected
to be a really strong year in the draft, and
so you know, I think it's I think I think
(16:01):
the I think yes, the answer is yes, that he
is going to be a Raider in Week one, And
I like I that doesn't mean like that the Raiders
wouldn't consider their options if some monster offer came along,
or that Max wouldn't consider something like that if you
know there was a team that he had wanted to
go to. But I think for right now, like everybody's
(16:23):
lost in on Okay, Like we're going to make the
best of this and look like part of it for Max, right.
Like we've talked a lot over the last few weeks
about the fractured trust between between Crosby and the team,
you know, the injury in October, the communication issue in December,
the trade request in January. I would say this, like,
I think over the last like forty eight to seventy
(16:44):
two hours, the Raiders really showed Max that they have
is back, and so I think that relationship is healed
to some degree where it's more palatable that they go
into that they're able to go into the twenty twenty
six offseason and ultimately twenty twenty six season together. Here's
the other reality of it. The Raiders aren't going to
(17:06):
give him away. He's their best player.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Right and so you know it is somebody going to come.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
And offer near what the what the Ravens did to
get them now knowing that the Ravens failed him on
the physical you know, I think that's hard for another
team to do, you know. So it's just it's this
weird spot. Logistically, now, what I could see happening is
he comes flying out of the gate has a great start.
(17:33):
Maybe the Raiders are still struggling as a team, and
then somebody gives him a godfather offer the deadline. Like,
I could certainly see something like that happening, you know,
But for right now, I do think they're all locked
in and together on the idea of giving this a go.
In twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Six, we were kind of Alberber joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio. We were kind of laughing about this
because there was some stuff out there that, wow, you know,
this is really gonna Baltimore handling of this is really
going to ruin the faith that people have in the organization.
You can't trust them, so on and so forth, and
then you know, about fifteen minutes later, Trey Hendrickson signs
(18:09):
for four years and one hundred and twelve million. It's like,
I just wonder, do you get the sense that there's
going to be people who look at the organization differently
because of this, or is this going to be Hey, man,
it's the NFL. Sometimes you got to make tough decisions.
Sometimes things are a little shady, and we're just going
to forget all about this, And yeah, Deion, I.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Mean I I don't know. I mean, like I think,
you know, if you're somebody who is.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Directly involved in this, sure, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Would the Raiders be hesitant to do another.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Trade with the Ravens? Probably would anybody who's like represented
by Max Crosby's agent, like be affected by this in
some way. That's definitely possible too. You know, Time usually
heals those things, you know, and so you know, I
think like anybody, you know, like.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You're always sort of a you know.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
You're always your reputation is always you know, subject to
these sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And you know, I think the Ravens know that, Like
I think the Ravens know that like.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
This is that this could affect the level of trust
that another team has in them, is you know, if
you're going forward in trade talks with them, you know,
going up to the draft this year. Is this going
to affect them two or three years from now? Probably not,
you know, So, like I think this is possible in
certain ways. There's a short term fallout from this, you know,
for the Ravens. But unless there's like some sort of
(19:30):
pattern of behavior that comes of this, I'd imagine time
will wind up healing all of that Albert.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I want to ask you about Kler Murray. He's visiting
the Vikings tomorrow. It sounds like, is that the most
likely candidate for where he would end up?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Yeah, I think it might actually be today that he's
getting there, But anyway, yeah them today, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I think he like I think that the overwhelming likelihood is.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
That he winds up with the Vikings. Uh. This is
something that Kevin will Donald has personally, he kind of
dived into, you know, is the idea of okay, like,
how are we gonna you know, put some competition for
JJ McCarthy in the room and they regret not doing
that last year and uh you know, so you know,
(20:16):
the easiest way to do that is to to to
go and seek out another reclamation project. So they've studied
over the last couple of months, like what's the right
reclamation project for us, you know, after you know, two
years ago, what they were able to do with Sam
Darnold and even like at the end of that year
helping Daniel Jones out a little bit, and you know,
(20:38):
like they you know, had a short list of names,
and I think Kyler Murray was near the top, if
not at the top of that list of.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Names, and I can tell you Minnesota is.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
At the top of you know, of Kyler Murray's options.
So I think it matches up in a lot of ways.
You know, from a financial standpoint. Obviously, the fact that
he comes in and he's gonna be able to play
in the minimum and they'll be able to stick Cardinals
with the bill for the rest. You know that that
that helps too. But I think this is something like
(21:07):
you know again, like you wanna you want to create
some competition for McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You got a guy who is.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
The number one overall pick. He's a unique player, and
he's a little different, and.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
You know, I think, you know, Kevin's going to have
to do some things.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
To to to to rewire his offense to make it
work for Kyler. But this is something they've put a
lot of thought into, you know, and you know, at
the end of that process of assessing the different you know,
potential reclamation projects out there. You know, guys like Tua
obviously were on that list as well. You know, Kyler
was the name they have circled, and it wouldn't surprise
(21:42):
me if they gets done in the next day or so.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn,
Jonas KNOXX with you here on FSR. So it kind
of seems and reads like on the outside that the
JJ McCarthy situation in Minnesota is almost similar to Anthony
Richardson in Indianapolis, where the leash maybe wasn't that long,
but the organization looked around and said, we got to
(22:04):
do something because this isn't working. And I just wonder
if that's where we're at with JJ McCarthy. And let's
say Kyler Murray's the guy, and I'm assuming he's going
to be the starter. Whose decision was it to draft
JJ McCarthy when they did, and to handle the quarterback
room the way that it was. Was it Kevin O'Connell
involved or this was this really more fallout And part
(22:27):
of the reason why Questiodopa Mensa was let go.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
I mean, I think that there's a lot of moving
parts there. I think so I would tell you the
guy that they wanted and this isn't revision its history.
I wrote it at the time, was Drake May. They
have Josh McCowan on their staff, who you know, Josh
was one of was one of Drake May's high school
(22:50):
coaches at one point, so there's a long standing relationship there.
They really felt like Drake was very, very special, and
so they offered you know, the tenth.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Pick to twenty whatever wherever they were was that they
had two first round picks that year, so I think.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
With ten and twenty three. So they offered ten in
twenty three and then a first round pick in twenty
twenty five, and then there were some pick swaps attached
to that to move up you know, from from I
think it was what was actually eleven move up from
eleven to three. It was eleven and twenty three, so
move up from eleven to three to get to to
(23:28):
get Drake May.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And you know, I think if there was any argument.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Over the way that that went at the time, I
do think Ko was so smitten with with with Drake
May that he would have said keep adding until they
said ntil they say yes, you know what I mean,
Like he really wanted Drake May. So like I think,
you know, if you talk to people there, like maybe
(23:54):
it wasn't so much you know, I disagreement on JJ
McCarthy as it was like how just how far are
we going to go to get the guy that we
really want, and the guy they really wanted at the
time was Drake.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
May Well, a guy that's making a full circle return
as Gino Smith and New York Jets. When he left there,
did you ever think there'd be a chance he would
find his way all the way?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
No? Really, I really liked you know, personally, But it
is it is funny, you know, like the I mean,
I I was on I think it was Versus Eisen
Show the other day and I can't remember the last
time I said the name.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I kN and Polly, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
If you guys remember who that is.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The whole thing.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, So I like it had been it
had been I think a decade since I had said
the name I kN and Polly. But it's pretty crazy, you.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Know, And I think I think, honestly, he comes back.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
It's just a very very different guy. And you know,
I'm interested to see how this one plays out. You know,
it's just you know, obviously there are products of your
history and everything else, and you know, I think Gino
is aware of the fact that he's there to be
a bridge, you know, and there to get them to
twenty twenty seven when you know a lot of people
are expecting there will be a million, you know, potential
(25:10):
franchise quarterbacks in the draft. But you know it's you know,
it's it's it's it's also a spot where he might
be you know, he might be positioned to play pretty
well if you if you look at like their talent
on the offensive side of the ball, it's not as
bad as people are making it out to be.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
It's you got two really good young tackles, an old
Fashanu an Armin Membo, you got you know, a really
good young receiver, and Garrett Wilson. Yeah, brisall in the
franchise tag. I don't know. I look at it and
I see, you know, if you can get another couple,
a couple more pieces in the draft. You got Frank
right there, like a really competent offensive coordinator. You know,
(25:49):
I don't think it's impossible that Gino winds up playing
pretty well. But but again, you know, I think the
goal with all of this is just just bridge your
way to twenty twenty seven, when I think a lot
of people are expecting there's going to be a pot
of gold at the quarterback position in the draft.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I said six will get taken in next year's first round,
and yeah, you know. Pete Prisco pushes back, saying, well,
wasn't this year supposed to be that?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Youto?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I said, no, it's not no, because, like we've been
talking about some of these guys for a while, and
I think especially after this past year, you just you know,
there's a lot of young, talented guys who should be
like I think six will go. Does that number seem
too how to you? Is that about?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Right? I mean, so what I would say is like,
I don't think that there's like there's not like a
Caleb Williams, like where you knew, like we knew at
this point in twenty three the Caleb was going to
be the number one pick in twenty four, right, Like
I think we all felt and we all felt like
Drake May at this point in twenty three would be
like a top five pick in twenty four. I don't
(26:52):
know that we have those guys, you know, but I was,
I was, you know, about a couple of months ago,
I was talking with Todd McShay, you know, who knows
this stuff inside out, and he rattled off eleven names
and so like that through ten.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I threw a ten yesterday and I feel confident that
eight or seven of those are gonna be looked at
the first round guys.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
So that's the thing is that if you're dealing with
that amount of names, like five of them are going
to hit right, you know what I mean, Like some
of them might not, but I mean we can go
through them. It's you know, Arch Manning, Leonora Sellers, C J. Carr,
Julians saying, Brendan Soresby, Uh, you know, Trinidad Chambliss. I mean,
you can keep going. I'm sure Brady you know this
(27:36):
stuff better than me.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But like that, I mean, CJ. Carr, you know double
you said, uh, I have a Dante Moore, Sam Levitt,
I mean he'll be another.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Guy more Dantee Moore might have been top five this year.
Sam Levit' is another one. I mean it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So I mean, you know, you know, the kid I
love that not many people have talked about is mess
to Maker, the kid who transferred from North Texas to
Oklhoma State. I'm telling you something. He might not be
a first round guy. He's a super athletic kid, highly productive,
and I think he's got like a very like compact
simple motion. But like he's just hitting the top that
(28:11):
I mean, like people were down on DJ Lagway. If
he goes to Bailor and plays the way I think
he's capable of, he's another name to throw into the mix.
Like there's a lot of guys in this class. Like
I'm not sure where Saying will be in the end,
where he'll stack up, But it's.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Gonna be like the question with Julian's aside, right, but
he's got a lot of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, but you know that, And then I think how
he handles, you know, pressure, And I think the interesting
thing for Julian sand might be, you know, Tavian Saint
Clair's right behind him. He's a kid who I think
if he goes and plays the way I think he's
going to, he'll be one of those kids we talked
about as a first overall pick, Like he's that sort
of talented kid. It's just putting it all together. And
I do wonder how after this upcoming season, how that
(28:52):
could factor into Julian Sayan's decision if he wants to
go or come back, because I think there's gonna be
so many guys who are draft eligible that are going
to be viewed his first round picks that there might
be something to say, Hey, I can make a lot
of money to come back to school, and I might
be the number one guy the following year if they
still have eligibility, and there's there's obviously a handful of guys.
One to that conversation, Julian would be one, but I believe,
(29:14):
you know, at that point, maybe he says, I'd rather
go now instead of potentially looking over my shoulder at
Tavian Saint.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Clair, right, And like I think, like and there are
a few of them, like Soresby is one. I want
to go back and look more at Sorsby because Soresby
he got hurt this year, but like from by all accounts,
like he's got everything you'd want, right, Like, So there's
just so many guys like that this year. And I
can remember like last year, you know, and I think
(29:42):
this is the difference. Like I can remember like last
year the Garrett us Meyer and.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You kind of like you know, you heard.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
About him and it's like but he's six foot even,
and like he doesn't have a huge arm. And it
just felt like with the guys this year, you're sort
of compromising a lot, you know, where like next year's group. Like,
there's a lot of guys who kind of fit the suit.
You know, like CJ. Card is a good one because
he's obviously got a great pedigree. Everybody knows whose grandfather is. Now,
(30:14):
He's got a year under his belt as a starter,
and when you when you look at him physically, it's like, yeah,
that's an NFL quarterback. You know, Like, so there are
you know, there are there are a lot of guys
that I feel like, you know, we're looking forward in
that year. It's like, yeah, maybe he's not there as
a prospect yet, but there are a lot of like
like like physical traits there that you know you can
(30:36):
work with. Abe.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Before I let you go, what's the team that you
look at based on the early onslaught of free agent
signings because there was a lot of money paid out,
a lot of players you know, got big time contracts.
But what is a team that you look at and
say they made some under the radar moves that I
think may have had a sneaky good free agent window
here to start out the week.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I mean, I might circle back to the Raiders for
you on that one, Like, I like, what the Raiders did.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
You know, just because I think they took advantage.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Of like a depressed market, you know, with the off
ball linebackers got two really good players in Kway Walker
and Nikobe Dean. You know, I think adding like Kowity
pay As, like a former first round pick. I think
that one could wind up, you know, looking good in time.
And Speedy Naylor was the third receiver in Minnesota. He
was kind of buried there, but they really liked him
(31:30):
and like he developed over the course of four years
where I think he whind He's not gonna be a
number one, but I think he'd be like what Rashid
Shiheed was for for Clint Kubiak in Seattle and then
Kansas City.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
I mean, Walker is obviously going to get.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
All the attention, but you know, a couple of the
other signings, like a Lowie Gillman, you know, was a
really really good piece down the stretch last year for Baltimore,
and Kyros Tongo was important as a nose tackle for
New England and like it was going to fill a
specific role on their d line.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
So I like how Kansas.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
City sort of set themselves up now where you know,
they felt like going in our two biggest needs, you know,
other than corner now is going to be was going
to be nose tackle and running back. They get those
checked off and now they can go into the draft
where they've got the ninth of twenty ninth and the
fortieth pick, and they don't really need to force anything,
you know, so they could add you know, Kenyon Sadiq
(32:24):
with the ninth pick or a Carnel tape with the
ninth pick and not plank. You know, whereas before it
felt like maybe they had a couple of needs that
they had to take care of, it was somewhere in
the first couple of days of the draft. They don't
really have those knees they have to press anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Get them on x at Albert Briers, senior NFL reporter,
Lead Content Strategies at the MMQB. Always a good time.

of those, I'd say, so we're.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Time to find out what's left sounds incredible.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Here's the left.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Over by the Ray Road. We got well, we got
some new friends.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yesterday President Donald Trump and Jake Paul, Well, Jake Paul
went to a Kentucky rally where the President endorsed the
social media boxer in running for a political office. Take
a listen.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Now, he's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
He's a courageous guy and a talent guy. He's a
hell of a fighter or two by the way, And
I just want to say, I predict.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I'm going to make a prediction that you will be
in the not too distant future running for political office.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I mean, at this point, why not can I ask this,
how's his jaw doing? Because last time I saw him,
I mean, that was the only thing I can think
of right now is how swollen that thing? I mean,
can he talk? Is he okay?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
It seems like he's fine. I think it's been, you know,
far enough away from that that he should be recovered.
It looks like he's been eating fine you know, he doesn't.
He didn't shrink up or anything post that's supposed to
make well. I just think no, just you keep you know,
when your jaws broken, you gotta eat everything. You know,
everything circlified. So, uh, he seems like he's fine. And
(35:26):
by the way, if he wants to, you know, pursue
a career politically, I mean everybody wants to do it. Now,
Steven A. Smith wants to do it. You know, there's
all sorts of people.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
He has a big beard, so you can barely see
his jaw, so if there is actually any deformities, we
might not be able to see them.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
He didn't have the beard for the fight though, right.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
No, but he has it right now on this since. Yeah,
I think he did. Did he did have the beard, yeah,
a smaller version.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. I don't think he grew it down like that.
I mean, it's been an interesting week for the for
the Paul family. And you've got Logan Paul ducking you know,
these these boxing matches or fights that he's laying out. Now,
You've got Jake Paul righting for political office in the future,
you know, so come a big week for the Pauls.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
You hear the hear the I guess the talk is
the reason that Logan Paul is now backing away from
all of that is because the WWE asked him to
not do it.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Which didn't he already do a fight while under contract
the ww of course.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
And it's also yeah, because WWE the last thing they
want is extra promotion for their company. Yeah, they're not
into any of that stuff. I'm telling you right now.
Tom Brady will be at WrestleMania. WrestleMania is in Vegas.
Tom Brady will be there. They'll have some sort of
interaction with with Logan Paul and this is all of
this is set up and built up to WrestleMania, guaranteed,
(36:50):
and I'll probably save the.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Sense in the world and we're all dumb enough to
buy into it and follow it. So here we are.
But it is said I would love to see Le'Veon
Bell take on Logan Paul, which I believe that was
one of the the players that he put himself out
there to box him. Le'Veon Bell can throw hands, yeah
he can, not sure if you remember when he fought
Adrian Peterson, not great, Yeah, that was that was a
(37:13):
quick ko.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Although I think Lebion Bell's got some other stuff I
probably should take care of. There's some other stuff using
the news.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
For I don't know about all that stuff. I just
know he's got a really fascinating Twitter following or x following,
puts out some deep stuff out there. He does.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
He really does have the Jake Paul brother Like, have
they fought each other?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
No, that'll probably be the finale, right or does no
one care? Because Like, here's the thing is, I think
they both fight on the premise that one side wants
them to win, one side wants them to lose. If
they're both, if they're fighting each other, then it's like
who's going to watch people who want them both to lose?
You know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
He's kind of dangled out there. A lot of people
wanted the Clitch goes to fight fight each other back
when they were dominating in the heavyweight division. It's just
you dangle it out there. It's never gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Yeah, what else we got, Lery ray Well, Brady, you
might be excited for this one. First teaser for a
new golf series on Netflix called The.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Hawk is coming.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
It dropped Yesterday, starring Will Ferrell, and the series follows
a once dominant golf superstar chasing one last shot at glory.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Comes out this summer. Also not a documentary, so this
is no no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
It's Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell planted a character. He's the Hawk.
That's the hack.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, stolen from Andre Dawson. What a thief.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I don't think there's anything to do with that. This
is golf, not baseball.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
This.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Uh what's interesting about this is there was a show
that came out with Owen Wilson was called I Like Him. Yes,
what was it called. It just came out. There's either
one or two seasons of it. I can't think of
the name of it. But anyway, I think it got
enough traction that they thought, all right, let's bring in
(39:03):
Will fail to actually play a golfer. In this case,
Owen Wilson played like a former golfer who still kind
of had it. But it's stick stick there there you go.
So anyway, that's how that played out. I think they
saw maybe like a niche for you know, more golf
stories like that. It is wild, like if you fall
some of these PGA players and the stories they telled
(39:25):
the things around it. It is wild, Like I wonder
if they consulted John Daly and some of the some
of the stuff he's been doing throughout the course of
his life.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Isn't John daily sun playing now? Wasn't he didn't he
just do it on a tournament or something like that?
Speaker 6 (39:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, I mean And the best was after one of
the rounds he said, instead of going to the range
of practicing, he was just gonna go hit the beach
for a little bit o.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Good for him, just like Pops, you know, hey, work
for John Daly. He had a great run. Guy chose
Hooters over you know, a more lucrative uh, you know,
resume and golf. Nothing wrong with that. Into Yeah, I
don't know. That's not surprising though, we're being honest.
