Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good afternoon, Ian, Thank you so much for the time.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
How are you well?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
What's going on? How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We're doing great, just seeing the news.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Nick Chubb officially now with the Houston Texans. One years,
two and a half million, can up to five million.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That deal came together pretty fast. It seems like.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
It actually came together really slow.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Okay, it has been yeah, it's been forever. So basically
Chubb was in talks with the Cleveland Browns, the old
team of course, really right up until the draft. I
actually thought it might get done draft week. It eventually
did not get done, and so then it was like,
what are the Browns gonna do? Well, they drafted a
running back, Okay, well, then the door.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Was still open for Chubb, but probably not going to
get the money maybe he wanted.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
And then like about a week or so after, the
Texans stepped right in and it probably took another two
weeks at the least to do this deal got.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Done over the weekend, got him in past.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
His physical signed, now officially official. And you know, it's
weird because we spend so much time in free agency
and big money contracts and who's signing and who's getting
dealt in March and then here's a signing in June
that could be a really really important signing for the technique.
If Nick Chubb is healthy, I mean he's got the physicality.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
He's got the playmaking ability, He's.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
A veteran leader, I mean the kind of guy who
can really really help detections offense.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Ian What does this mean for Joe Mixon?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Because last year I thought he was that bellcal for
that Houston Texan offense and you know what Lobby Slowan
brought to it, and also just kind of taking a
little bit of pressure off of CJ. Strout.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But what does like a sign of Chubb mean for
Joe Mixon?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Now? Yeah, I mean I think we'll start with the
second part. First, taking pressure off Straut is important. I
mean they fix the offensive line, they think, and you know,
maybe still as a ways to go, but fixing offensive line,
and then you know you have two veteran, good physical
bruising running backs, Like that's a great way to make
sure that your quarterback has as little pressure as possible.
(02:10):
And you know, I think for Joe Mixon, you know,
they remember that the Bengals cut him thinking that maybe
he was headed the wrong direction. Ended up having a
good year last year when healthy. When he wasn't healthy,
they struggled.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
So they got they drafted a runner. They got another runner.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And Nick Chubb, who can you know, sort of compete
with flush fill in for mixing if something happens. And like,
the Texans look like a team that's going to go
deep in the playoffs. If you do, you need good players.
If you do, you need depth. This checks all boxes,
really really like this signing for the Texans.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And speaking of depths, JK.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Dobbins was in town, had a meeting with the Broncos.
They didn't get a deal done for whatever the reason.
With Chubb now going to Houston, does that at all
alter sort of the landscape for running backs in particular
Dobbins connected with the Broncos.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know, I think what it does. And first of all,
I don't get the sense the conversation is over with JK.
Dobbins to the Broncos. But I would say sometimes when
a similar player, now Nick Chubb is older, But when
a somewhat similar player who's been productive, who's been a
good guy, who's trying to find with a contender, Sometimes
(03:24):
when the price is one thing, it helps that the
parameters of what another thing should be. So like, I
kind of wonder maybe the Nick Chubb deal helps the JK.
Dobbins deal get done because it's like it kind of
sets where a price should be. So like, maybe JK.
Dobbins would take a two and a half million dollar
deal worth up to five Maybe he'd like a little
more incentives because he.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Was more productive last year. But sometimes these.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Sort of similar veteran deals can help set a baseline,
And I think, so that could be good. You know,
maybe this is the thing that ends up getting the JK.
Dobbins to the Broncos deal. Just to me, that actually
makes a ton of sense for a lot of the
same reasons that detections one makes sense.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Takes pressure off the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Like I can really really be physical and really explosive.
I would like that, you know, signing as well.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Ian rappbre joining us is your life a little I
guess a little more boring now that you're not asked
every single day what's going on with Aaron Rodgers and
why has he he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, it's weird, gfinitely.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm serious, Like I've been answering the.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Same question over and over for four months. And now
it's like you see people and they're like, all right,
so Rogers sign. What does it mean? You know, I
kind of say it and it's like okay, okay, and
I got it.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So that's sort of you know, when it was like
when he wasn't signed, it was like, what does this
mean for Kirk Hunts?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
What if he retires? Could he retire? What's going on?
Why had he signed? What it's mean for my comin?
Now he signs and it's like, okay, they got their quarterback,
moved on, you know, like that's that's kind of what
it's like, and that's good and that's good because that brings,
you know, peace to an organization.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You know, there's going to.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Be plenty to talk about doing him you're wrong, like it,
let's them just sun settle in and exist and some
regular questions will meet the media tomorrow. I think the
way this summer and that'll be that and that's okay.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
And the offseason, well on this way, Mantory Mini Caam's
coming up. When you look at just the draft and
teams retaining their own guys and the free agency that
we've seen and then the free agents after the draft,
who are your teams that you think that you just
really like what they've done this offseason? You know?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I would say that the teams that are sort of
looking to make a little bit of a leap are
the teams that I'm looking at.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Like I would say teams like the.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Patriots, for instance, would be a good one of like,
all right, like didn't have a year to have last year,
have a young quarterback, think he's really good.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think we're for that one hand.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I really don't think we're They had their they had
like two decades plus.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I don't think we're ready for them to come back yet.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Hey, they've had a tough couple of years. You got
to have your fun with them having to you know,
being bad.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
For a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I think they're getting ready to be good, That's what
I say. I think they're getting ready to be good.
The Raiders would be another interesting one. And I think
for similar reasons, really good head coach, really smart culture
builder team that is, you know, sort of improved in
the middle class. I would put those the spotlight on
those two guys. Now, I don't know that they're like done,
(06:33):
like finished products.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
We all good, but I do expect that to improve.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
And I would think free agency, you know, Patriots with
some weapons and offensive lineman raiders with a quarterback and
some weapons like I think that.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That helps always right in.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We will check in with you next week. Although mentoring
mini camp rats, are are you going?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Are you going all the way through the summer?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You can take some time.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Off, probably take about four weeks off, So I'll talk
to you next week, and then that might be until
we get to a training camp, which you know is
always a fun time of year as well.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
But I'll tell to you next week.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Don't worry about Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Loving forward to my friend.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
We'll talk to you then. Thanks, Thanks Ian, Okay, appreciate
it in thank you, And this could be here before
we know what I mean, it's I think training camps
could be around the twenty fourth, twenty third of July.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
It's fast approaching. Yeah, I think a lot of people.
You get to this point of the season where hockey
and basketball wrapping it up, both in their their finals.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It's like baseball, you know what, You're.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Not to the All Star break yet, but baseball will
go till October in some markets, and so people now
have a chance to meet. Ian's going to take four
months off, at four weeks off and training camp will
be here and then football is.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Back right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Bit very excited, all right, So it is official, Nick
Chubb Science is a one year deal two and a
half million, can be worth up to five with the Texans.
