CEEDEE LAMB NEW CONTRACT + AIYUK & CHASE NEXT?! + RUSSELL WILSON NAMED QB1 🚨 | GM Shuffle

[Music] you're listening to the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi presented by DraftKings and V sin 7 days only 7 days until the NFL season gets started and we still have some contracts left to be signed for some of the best players in the NFL welcome welcome to the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi presented by DraftKings and vison and uh yeah you're hearing a new voice here I am Harrison Stanford a new host with the VISA Network and Michael I must say it is going to be a pleasure to work with you my friend I am looking forward to it too and we vetted you out so we understand that you have watched the uh Sopranos which is a requirement to get on this podcast you cannot enter into the you have you cannot enter in the GM Shuffle world did not know what R Buco is going to make for dinner tonight so we appreciate you filling in coming in it's I'm excited to have you a part of our visent family and uh your energy has given me energy so I appreciate you Harrison although I heard you're a Nick fan which is great I like the Knicks too so we'll have a lot of conversations about the 76ers and the Knicks which I'll probably be on your side of that yes indeed uh I am definitely a Nick fan uh and I'm sure my energy will be even higher as the NBA season comes closer but this is the GM Shuffle we talk about the NFL here and I'm so excited to get into the National Football League but I will tell you this I will say this while I do uh find myself as a fan of The Sopranos recently I have been doing a rewatch of Breaking Bad and Michael I forgot how great the show is oh my goodness I got to do that I have to go through that because I love Brian Cranston I think he's great and you know those The Wire breaking Brad The Sopranos those shows don't don't age they're still good they hold up to time they really do they don't and uh speaking of another show that doesn't age uh there's another one where there's a famous line where cidd lamb if he was in this guy's position would say uh everything is pretty pretty pretty pretty good that's Kirby enthusiasm Larry David and that is how CD lamb must feel he got paid people four years 136 million extension him and Jerry Jones finally came to an agreement a 100 million 100 million guaranteed with a wide receiver record $38 million signning bonus things are sitting pretty sitting pretty good for him at this moment your reaction to Jerry Jones and lamb getting the deal done because there's other wide receivers out there who haven't been able to well I I my reaction is why did it take this long it shouldn't have I mean the market was set it was pretty clear and lamb knew what his Market was now I think obviously a lot of this was I didn't want to go out to Thousand Oaks I didn't really want to have to go through Camp I think I could get ready at a certain point and I don't know how much the deal changed from let's say last March to today I'm sure it did but not that much look the other deals are really you know the Brandon iuk deal the Trent Williams I think those are separate deals the iuk deal is inexcusable it's really about iuk I mean he is and I think John Lynch mentioned this today that it's time to play football like I think when you have players that are not self-aware that don't understand the market I mean Tua said it very clearly he said look you know the market is the market you could say I'm I'm overrated you could say I'm not a a dropback passer you could say I'm an RPO but I play quarterback I play in the NFL I've won X amount of games I've put x amount of numbers up the Market's the market right that's what it is there's nothing you could do the market is the market for auk he's not better than DJ Moore that's the end of the story he's not better than AJ Brown that's the end of the story like at some point when is the kid going to handle it he didn't want to go to New England because he didn't want to play for the Patriots when they were offering him over 30 million so if you want the money take it if you don't want the money do a deal like I don't understand why it's going on so long I could only imagine if I were John Lynch or Kyle Shanahan I'd be pulling my hair out I mean this is the kind of things that make it so challenging as for Trent William Willams look I think it's a you know to me they know they need him and as you know as I know before we came on the show that Jetline because of the Jets being so popular because of the Jets being so good on pay we call the Jets here on our podcast the ifers because they're if they're healthy they're good and everybody's betting them it's down to three and a half yeah no big line movement there in terms of uh this 49ers versus New York Jets game that's Monday Night Football in week W and let's go back to this Brandon iuk situation and obviously Trent Williams as well as it it pertains to the 49ers there's just a level of uncertainty how and how they will go into the season because of these absences at some point do you feel that it will actually impact them on the field if these guys eventually get back out there because there has to be something said for continuity uh there has to be something that's said for actually getting out there we've seen it multiple times year after year players who are not in Camp not uh practicing with the team you never know next thing you know there's a hamstring injury and a player could be out for a even significant more amount of time and Trent Williams is a guy who routinely year after year it seems as if already has missed time for the 49ers yeah I think I think they feel like Trent could come in a week before and get ready to play now can he play as good as he does after seven or eight practices well that remains to be seen but I think they feel like that I would I I agree with you I would worry about Brandon auk because I think here's the reality you know the reality of it is is is that all these Debo Samuel was on the team held out for a long time and you know didn't have the same kind of year and was very clear that the hold out really made it very difficult for him so look if you're Kyle Shanahan the biggest issue you have right now going to face the Jets is what's our left tackle situation look like how are we going to handle that are we going to be able to block are we going to be able to do the things that we have to do at left tackle without our best player on the field can we run the football what are we what are we going to have to handle you know I think all those things come into play and and you know they don't want to put Jaylen Moore out there the the fifth round pick in 21 I I don't know how they'll handle it but it is an issue right now they're going to be tackle poor with their issues with their issues I feel like a seven to one bet for the Seattle Seahawks to win the NFC West is a worthwhile investment I do think that coach McDonald the new coach Mike McDonald the new head coach there uh for the Seattle Seahawks coming from Baltimore I do think he could raise their level on the defensive side of the ball I am hoping and I am predicting that maybe they get a lot more out of those two first round picks that they had in this defensive secondary a Devon Witherspoon from Illinois they drafted last year in the top 10 I feel like they can be a better team on the defensive side of the ball and the offensive weapons even though you know people are mixed mixed about mixed opinions about Geno Smith I still believe uh with the talent that they have with DK metf with Jackson Smith and jiga with Tyler Lockett with Kenneth Walker and Zack shanet I believe they could be a live threat to win the NFC West well transition to some uh another with AFC how you feel well I'm with you on that I'm I'm 100% behind you on I love Seattle's team I think the offensive Line's got to improve there's no question I mean I'm shocked that they're moving almost to a six-point favorite against Denver I think the betting Market sees them as a good team too I think McDonald you know he got 19 and a half sack out of out of uh J Jadon Clowney and and Kyle Van van Van Roy Van Roy off of the you know he was on the uh on the Pat McAfee show they get him off the couch so he's a good coach look they're got to be better on defense they were horrible last year on Def they couldn't stop the run to save their life they're going to be better on defense there's no question now Gino protects the football and I think Kenneth Walker is a very unsung player I think he's going to do really well but for me I like him I I really do to win the West I think that that that takes a bold statement but look we've seen it happen before teams have gone for more I mean this time last year nobody including myself would have said Houston's going to win the South yeah for sure Hey listen when it comes down to a future ticket I'm not betting something that doesn't have any a big time reward at the end so 7 to1 that's a future ticket that I'm worth uh risking all right let's go to another wide receiver and this time in the AFC and it was a little bit tricky here because one day Zack Taylor says oh we'll have Jamar Chase for week one the next day Jamar Chase comes to practice late in Street close uh doesn't give off I'm playing in week one type of Vibes what is going to happen here let's predict it seven days from now where are we with the Jamar Chase situation well look I again Mike Brown the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals is said he wants to pay them now the question here is does he make more or does he have the same contract as Justin Jefferson now they're coming in two years early on this deal he's not even in his fifth year option he's in the fourth year of his rookie deal so this is early so they're picking up they're ripping up two years of a contract they're actually ripping up four years of a contract so the two years that they own the rights to them on which would be this year and the fifth year option number so you add those two numbers together and then the two franchise years you could add together you put the total sum of th that number together and for those four years they own his rights now he can hold out but he's going to get fined he's going to get fined he's not going to show up so I think they've got to do something here you know because they've made it clear they've let this problem linger like they've Let It Go like to me you know when you're in your fourth year unless you're practicing we shouldn't be doing your contract like I would have made it very clear that look you're not holding in if you want a new contract practice we'll work on it as hard as we can but you're going to have to honor the fourth year I mean now all of a sudden we've seen these fifth year options just get blown away like they don't count anymore meanwhile the fourth year now could easily get blown away by this hold out Mike Brown wants to pay Chase he wants to and I think the question is does he pay him a little bit more than Jefferson or does he give him Jefferson's deal yeah it's going to be a tricky situation there as that all pans out for the Cincinnati Bengals I am going to be so interested to see how we continue to go further in this wide receiver quarterback Market where players are getting paid such a enormous amount of money at the quarterback and wide receiver position how else can you build out that roster it does seem like this would be the last year for T Higgins with the Cincinnati Bengals simply because they're going to have to pay players like Joe burrow like Jamar Chase and so how teams balance their rosters out going forward uh I think this will be a good case study of how you kind of all break it down it should be interesting for sure and we'll continue to break that down right here on the GM Shuffle but when we come back there are two new starting quarterbacks that were named recently in Pittsburgh Russell Wilson has apparently beat out Justin fields for the number one uh for the quarterback one job and in New England it won't be Drake may it will be jacobe brassette that will be the starting quarterback we'll talk about that in a moment but when we come back from break but first real quick for the fantasy football players out here Jamar Chase cidi lamb who's wide receiver one going into the season for me it's Chase because with Burton playing well on the outside they're going to move Chase inside and Chase is going to have have a little bit of a Tyreek Hill feel to him so I think he's going to come inside and play there I love both players I think the Cowboys offensive line is going to be better than most people think cuz gon look very good in the preseason so I do think their offense will be improved I don't know if dvin Cook's going to going to add much to the Run game but I do like Chase but I like lamb as well yeah I like lamb a lot I I think we'll probably have a little head-to-head battle and who's going to be the number one wide receiver in fantasy football and that discussion will be on going throughout this season but with that being said another discussion going out throughout the season who's going to be the starting quarterback for multiple teams will return with the GM Shuffle with that discussion you're listening to the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi presented by DraftKings and Vin all 32 NFL teams finally have named their starting quarterback in New England it's going to be jacobe brassette in Pittsburgh it is going to be Russell W Wilson you're listening to the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi presented by smaroff we do game days please drink responsibly the spoff company New York New York 17 straight years 17 straight years Michael Mike Tomlin has had a 500 record or better and he's hoping to extend that to 18 years this year with a new quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers it will be Russell Wilson but I know there are going to be many people who imagine eventually Justin Fields will become the starter if the season doesn't get off to the start that the Pittsburgh Steelers will like so let's just go through the first eight games of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers they start at Atlanta then at Denver home for the Chargers at the Colts home for the Dallas Cowboys at the Las Vegas Raiders then the New York Jets at home than the New York Giants at home I see some winnable games here uh particularly that Giants game in week number eight uh at Los Vegas that seems like a winnable game uh you don't know where uh B Knicks is going to be in week two those are three wins that you could probably look at for the Pittsburgh Steelers how do you think it kind of pans out here for Russell Wilson as he's now the number one starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers yeah I I don't know if it's tied to WIS I think it's tied to his performance I think if he protects the football right if he protects the football and is making enough plays in the passing game he'll keep the job but if he's not making plays in the passing game if his eye levels down and he's getting sacked and he's trying to go out the pocket to the right or to the left like he's been doing the last three years then I think they've got to make the change but I I don't think that Russell Wilson has been he's been named the starter for week one I think Justin Fields will play in week one in some role as Mike Tomlin indicated some kind of Wildcat some kind of play they're going to need to create some plays with the quarterback position because based on the last three years Russell hasn't done that had throw the ball down the field his yards per attempt is trending in the wrong direction so look it's like John Madden says when you have two quarterbacks you don't have any they're going to try to manage this position I think it's going to be like a hockey line I don't see either quarterback being able to solidify the starting job I could see Russell getting benched by the week three of the season if they start out 0 and2 I Could See Fields getting benched after the bye if they don't play well I could see them just rotating it kind of in and out using a a special uh kind of offense for Fields one thing Arthur Smith these two quarterbacks they're different but they run similar they they they kind of have the same feel to them obviously Fields runs much better than Russell does at his age but that you're going to need to do the same thing which makes it a lot easier for Russell Wilson to and and Fields to be interchangeable yeah I know there's some fantasy football players out there that are kind of waiting for Justin fields to become the starting quarterback because regardless of how he performs on the actual NFL field he does provide some fantasy football value as I look at the entirety of the team I I am going to be very hesitant to put any of those players on my fantasy rosters but sticking to the actual NFL implications of them on the field you know there are some people out there that have the train of thought that unless Russell Wilson is significantly significantly better it's just going to to make sense to have Justin Fields add your starter considering the age and potentially potentially Michael there could be a team out there and give me your opinion that might value Russell Wilson in terms of giving up compensation for him at a certain part in the season could you see that actually being a case here where the management from the Pittsburgh Steelers says the difference between these two guys isn't strong enough to turn down potential value in the draft for trading away wussell Wilson yeah I don't think they'll get much value for Russell I mean they would get a late pick if they got anything I mean his contract it doesn't really matter but I don't think that'll happen here's what I do think I I think that Russell will keep will keep the job the problem with going to fields and Fields has got a better I think part of it as you answered it people like Fields because he does provide fantasy points I think that's where he gets a strong contingency from even though when you watch him play he makes too many bad plays for any offense to be consistent now you know he had this great camp but now we find out it wasn't a great camp like most of these camps that get overvalued so I I think they'll keep both of them look the Steelers are going to be in the quarterback shopping business there's no question they have to they need to find a full-time starter they haven't been able to solve the Ben rothberg problem for a long time and and now they need to do it I don't think they can get any closer I don't think they can do it without solving that problem you know what's interesting a lot of people last year and you talked about fantasy issues a lot of people were not happy with Arthur Smith in the way that he did not use bejan Robinson as maybe a lot of people anticipated when they used their draft pick on him what do you think Arthur Smith can actually do to change how this Pittsburgh Steelers offense has looked because last year the Pittsburgh Steelers offense wasn't too impressive and again people were disappointed with Arthur Smith some might have said it was a questionable higher considering the lack of dynamic play that you had from the Atlanta Falcons last year despite some of the playmakers that they had well I I think Atlanta you know I think he got a bad r at Atlanta Atlanta's the slowest team on offense in football you know Drake London's a possession receiver Kyle Pitts had a bad knee couldn't make a play think about this Harrison the long the two longest plays that Atlanta had offensively was a tight end screen to jnu Smith and a wheel route to bejan Robinson no receiver gave him any explosive plays so you can blame Arthur Smith all you want but their talent now they're they have a high opinion of thems in Atlanta I got a phone call from a friend of mine who lives in Atlanta and they all think they're going to the Super Bowl the whole city does which is wonderful yeah they think they're going to the Super Bowl which is great I'm not sure they're as skilled now Bean's a great player but they're not as skilled of pits he's not a tight end I love how people give poor Arthur Smith crap you know he wasn't in he wasn't in 11 personnel very much he wasn't you know he did he was the least amount of 11 personnel of any team in the National Football League last year well what the hell do you think Kyle pittz is you think he's a tight end he don't block anybody he's a white receiver he was an 11 more than anybody when they had jnu Smith on the field if they just had Pits on the field and three other receivers they were in 10 this is where analytics gets into a problem you have to classify the player like when you have a guy on the field that's just a receiver all right Dalton can Kate if he can block a little bit for Buffalo then we can classify that at 12 but if he doesn't block anybody they're going to call that 11 now I think can Kade can block Pitts hasn't blocked anybody so I think gets a bad rep I think what Arthur's going to do is he's always been able to teach the outside Zone play he's always had a good ability to have play action pass I think that's what he's going to try to do look the Steelers formula for winning ain't going to change Harrison they're going to play good defense protect the football and try to win the game in the fourth quarter yes indeed uh that it reminds me I got to take a look at those NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds and really gota it feels like every year it's worth placing a ticket or two on TJ lot because of his ability to get after the quarterback in that Pittsburgh Steelers defense speaking of another defense Gerard Mayo the head coach now of the New England Patriots that defense last year one of still one of the better units in the NFL the question was can they actually score the football I don't know how much better they'll be on that side of the football because they're not necessarily starting a heralded guy at the quarterback position jacobe brette now the number one QB for the New England Patriots Drake May will be coming off the bench but we all feel that some point here Drake May will become the starter for the New England Patriots uh when do you think that happens and your thoughts on Mayo's decision to put the rookie on the bench to start the season you know it's it's interesting I think there's no question that jacobe Brett is a placeholder I I don't want to call him a test dummy but I think he's going in there because the line isn't very good and I think the whole plan was wasn't to play Drake may this year I think the reason they're holding back is because they want to get this offensive line some continuity before they put him out there I say week four or week five Drake May the starter it's not a question of if it's a question of when and I think he's going to go back out there look look brassette was signed to be in there and he's going to have to make plays but look you know this they go in that line in Cincinnati moved down to eight and a half it was at nine and a half at one point I don't know why it's moving towards New England I don't know how New England's going to score points I really don't yeah they're going going up against L Anar rumo's defense in week number one against the Cincinnati Bengals that will be on the road then they're hosting the Seattle Seahawks on the road for the Jets on the road for the 49ers a brutal first four games for uh the New England Patriots and the first year head coach dard Mayo Maybe by then we could see a shift there for the New England Patriots I do Wonder though Michael you know if you are in how would as a GM as a former executive how would you approach maybe some of your players on the defensive side of the ball how would you approach maybe some of your wide receivers when you're kind of in this position where it's the big elephant in the room jacobe brassette is just a placeholder there's not a lot of yes you could have faith that he could play well but you kind of know in the back of your head the rookie is coming and when you start a rookie quarterback the expectation level is not going to be at the Caleb Williams expectation level how do you keep the morale going for a team that probably goes into the season in their heart of hearts knowing that they're not a playoff team right I I think what what Mayo has to do is convince the team there's a certain style we have to play whether it's pret playing or whether it's May playing we got to run the football effectively we're going to have to play good defense we're going to have to use the Pittsburgh formula we're going to have to get the game in the fourth quarter if look let's be clear if it becomes a 40 pass game with whether you have May in the game or whether you have brassette in the game New England's going to lose and they're not going to cover a lot of games because the game's going to get away from them if they're if they're trailing at halftime which is a good chance they will be the game and they come out and try to throw the ball to get back in the game that lead's going to go from 10 points to 17 points and the game's going to be over it's going to be very challenging so for me they've got to be very careful how they approach it whether Brett's the quarterback or whether May if May's in there and they try to think they're going to throw at 40 to 45 it ain't going to work it's not they have one formula to keep the game they got to get the game to the fourth quarter and try to win it and make a play with their def defense and hope their defense is as good as it was last year yeah it's going to be interesting to see how the the season pans out here for the New England Patriots I have the Patriots uh Michael uh I play a Survivor league and in my Survivor League what we do we pick the loser every week not a new winner because there's actually a lot more good teams than there are bad teams in the NFL uh so I'm GNA hold on to using the Patriots I know I could probably count on them for a week number one loss but I maybe we'll save them for uh let's just say when they travel to Miami late in the season uh or maybe when actually their schedule's actually not too bad or maybe when they travel to Buffalo uh in week number 16 those seems like an ideal time to focus in on using them in my Survivor League are you in a surv are you in a Survivor League I don't do any of that but I love to give advice on it I love to watch it I love to every week I love to have I do a the only contest I'm in is with Mad Dog so on Friday afternoon where he and I go head to-head I've won it two years out of three but I'm going to beat him this year again there we go you already called it like you're calling it like you see it this is the GM Shuffle presented by smov we'll be right back after the break you're listening to the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi presented by DraftKings and V sin this is the GM Shuffle with Michael Lombardi hello guys I'm Harris we're back for another segment of the show and Michael I must say over the past couple years one of my favorite offenses to watch has been one led by Justin Herbert the Los Angeles Chargers were definitely Dynamic it's going to look very different for the Chargers this time around uh Justin Herbert no longer has Keenan Allen no longer has Mike Williams they're gone Jim BS in at head coach and because Justin Herbert had an injury during training camp there looks to see looks to be some reinforcements coming in for their quarterback room Tyler T Taylor hinei was traded to the Los Angeles Chargers for a conditional six round pick maybe that uh shows the level of concern uh that the Chargers had about Mr Herbert as he had the planta fascia injury in his right foot well I think it's a concern about East stick who's not very good he's a third string quarterback at best he's not a second so they needed a backup now T Tyler Huntley got cut today by Cleveland they could obviously talk about that because remember John Harbaugh had had Huntley out there with him in Baltimore and Jim and John talk all the time I wouldn't be surprised if they cut if they kept hinaki and brought in and brought in Huntley as the third and then cut stick and have three now you have a decent quarterback room now you got a chance cuz you got one guy was a pro bowler not that he's a pro bowler but he was and you got another guy who started and played in playoff games so you've really improved your team that would not surprise me at all if the Chargers did that but the the Browns kept them on because they felt like if you keep a guy on the roster somebody's got to trade for him well the guy's a vested veteran so he's a free agent immediately after he's told he's no longer on the team so he doesn't have to go through the waiver wire and so then he can pick and choose wherever he wants to go it's hard to hold a veteran back for trade that's why Taylor hinei went for a six condition meaning he's got to be on the roster a certain amount of time you know for the Atlanta Falcons again I I'm I'm bedazzled again here you go you pay you don't play Michael Penn at all but dazzled I have it I that's a SC that's a Scrabble word for you yeah I mean I haven't seen him play in the preseason he played very limited he threw what 20 passes his whole preseason time now he's the backup quarterback I mean hinei took all the Reps now he's the backup quarterback what happens if week one against Pittsburgh if J J watt knocks the hell out of KK cousins and now you got to put pennic in the game who's had no experience playing meanwhile Patrick Mahomes is playing for the Chiefs everything Atlanta does I just shake my head I'm like that makes no sense at all well of course what would why wouldn't you give a guy AJ Terell who has no career interceptions uh in the last two years no interceptions in the last two years why wouldn't you make him the second highest paid quarter Corner in the National Football League my question would be for Chris Olen the player the the guy who handles the salary cap for Atlanta hey Chris do you ever say no to somebody do you like how about saying no like you haven't had an interception in two years you've broken up 19 passes in two seasons at what point do you tell the agent you got to make plays on the ball to become the second highest paid corner you just give him the money it's ridiculous you you want you want to negotiate against Olsen he'll give you everything you know I didn't realize I I it AJ Terrell has gotten such high a claim uh I didn't realize he's it I didn't even see that didn't even sound right to me no interceptions no intercept he's only had four in his career he's played four years he had three three years ago and won his rookie season look the reality of a corner is you gotta make plays on the ball 19 passes broken up in two years like how many times do you touch the ball if you don't touch the ball how am I going to make you the second highest paid corner in the league I mean makes it's ridiculous like it's okay I think he's a good player yeah but he's not the second highest paid corner in the league it's ridiculous but again that logic now we trade hinei who we played all summer to get a conditional six meanwhile penx is sitting there he's like Cameron's car and Ferris buer stay off he's never going to get driven Atlanta Falcons the favorites to win the NFC South uh as you can hear Michael has some skepticism about how they are operating as the faor of that division uh speaking of some questionable decisions or questionable quotes uh might or rather yet Robert welcome to the shuffle this is Robert solid territory here welcome are you a Jet fan by the way Harrison are you a jet or GI no no no no no no no no no no no no no no we don't do the Jets over on this side I am I am a who are you who do we root for who are you rooting for I am a well you know I am a Giants fan I have been forunate enough uh to celebrate two Super Bowls in my lifetime uh so I am very happy uh I know there are some true authentic fans who are not going to appreciate what I'm going to say but I'm going to say it nonetheless this year I'm not going to be watching the New York Giants I am going to be watching The Prime Time games and I'll be watching Red Zone or any other game that does not involve the Giants because for my opinion we're one of those teams that frankly doesn't have a quarterback and when you don't have a quarterback you don't have a get a great chance on winning and so I'm not signing up to watch them lose every Sunday and actually if they do win a game I'm actually might I might have a modum of disappointment because it means it's going to be a lot harder for them to get the Carson Becks or the shadur Sanders or the Quin yers of the world so um it's gonna be a challenging Year I'll be rooting for my fantasy team and I'll be and I will be rooting for my DraftKings betting account hopefully uh some money comes into the coffers this season I love that let's go back to Salah so Salah I mean I don't know he says that Ric is you know still the timetable ISM for still to play well if the kids held out this long and he's lost I mean I think he's lost $5 million at this point he's missed three preseason games he's missed the offseason he's been fine 50k I mean it's just the the meter's running I mean he's taking a cab from Santa Monica to New York City I mean that's the C it's running like at what point does he just say okay enough is enough C can you explain this how we even have gotten here because thean reic obviously traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to get to the New York Jets uh the contract was an issue at that point I I'm perplexed how we've gotten to this point because when Michael when you usually when you make a trade for somebody who's having a contract uh dispute it would one would assume that the contract is already kind of balanced out or kind of sorted out already before the deal take before that trade takes place so you don't have a situation like the Jets are currently in yeah well you that's what called being a general manager you're not making this trade until you get those te's crossed and eyes dotted now they claim they had it but they didn't have it in writing like you you knew rck wanted a new contract last year it was pretty clear right that's all he talked about and Philly felt like he was disruptive from within on their team so Philly was going to get rid of him now Philly wasn't going to give him away he was a good player he's been producing for a long time in the league since he left Arizona and went to Carolina and Philly so he's got credentials so they're not going to give them away but when you buy somebody else's problem you want to eliminate the problem it would be like the 49ers trading Brandon iuk and he doesn't redo his deal you want that problem it's exactly the same thing now iuk is sitting in so he doesn't get fine which has made the problem worse right like this sitting in hasn't resolved the problem the sitting in with Jamar Chase hasn't resolved the problem like at what point do you say wait a minute what are we doing here like we're we're we're extending you Goodwill and let you sit in and not practice but it's really just affecting us it's hurting our team we've talked nothing about anything but Brandon auk and and Jamar Chase it's the same thing with rck like rck I mean at least he held out I don't see how it ends up but look Salah he
