00:01Brian, I'll be honest, I'll give him some credit, Stallion has kind of been asking us
00:08about NFL trade deadline discussions for a while, and I'm like, dude, I don't know specific
00:13to Washington how active they're going to be, and I think those decisions will largely
00:17get made based on what happens after the Rams result.
00:22And he's like, yeah, but there's so much going on, we can still discuss it.
00:26And I said, you're right, like the NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday, and it feels like
00:33B, we live in a microwave society where every decision, every election, every everything
00:37becomes the most important thing ever, right?
00:39That's not always the case.
00:41Sometimes it's just the next thing in the cycle.
00:45However, this trade deadline, because you've already seen the Colts go into fire sale mode.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Like, the Colts have already traded away two pro bowlers, and they've got another one
00:55that sure as hell seems like he's getting traded.
00:57They have some other useful pieces, and you also have some good teams with obvious holes.
01:04Mm-hmm.
01:05So I personally feel like this is going to be a super active trade deadline, and I wonder
01:13how it's all going to shake out.
01:15What would define super active?
01:18Starting quarterbacks getting moved.
01:19I don't think we've ever seen that.
01:22At the trade deadline, we've seen backups, but I don't think we've seen starters.
01:27The question I was asked.
01:29An all-pro running back that went for 2,000 yards last year getting traded, that's super
01:32active.
01:33The running back getting traded now is not that big of a deal.
01:36I don't think we've seen somebody of that caliber.
01:37We might not have seen anybody, but they don't honor that position no more.
01:42So as soon as they start making a certain amount of money, and they're getting closer
01:46to 30, they're ready to get rid of them anyway.
01:48What starting quarterback do you think will be moved?
01:51That's where I want to start.
01:53Okay.
01:54Especially because you have the Minnesota Vikings at 6-1 that just aren't getting the production
02:00from Kyler Murray.
02:02And when you watch, I don't know how much Vikings you've been able to watch.
02:06There was a time, especially that second year in Arizona, and we all kind of forget about
02:11this, but to Cliff Kingsbury's credit, to Kyler Murray's credit, that team started 7-0.
02:18Okay.
02:18And Kyler Murray was electric.
02:19I think the year was 2021.
02:22Murray looked electric.
02:24And they started really well.
02:26Then maybe he got banged up.
02:27Maybe he started playing too much video games, whatever the rumors were.
02:30They really sputtered down the stretch.
02:34But watching Kyler Murray now, and granted, we're six years removed from that, he doesn't
02:41look dynamic anymore.
02:43Like, whatever the running threat, the dual threat he presented, not to suggest he can't
02:48get you some yards, but there was a time when Kyler Murray seemed like he could house call
02:53it on any play.
02:53Yeah.
02:54That is gone.
02:55Yeah, that's definitely gone.
02:56And I just think that Kyler, after the injuries, it's like, I'm not doing that.
03:04Right.
03:04I will do it as a last resort, but it's not a part of my game.
03:08The Vikings are 6-1.
03:10The Vikings have a championship-level defense.
03:13They're not getting enough at the quarterback position.
03:16And there are real teams that seem to make sense.
03:20Let's start with Vegas.
03:23Vegas has been pretty good.
03:24I think they've been one of the, like, pleasant surprises of the NFL.
03:30Offensively, they've been quite good.
03:32I mean, Vegas is 4-4.
03:33Nobody had that coming in.
03:35If somebody out there picked Vegas to be 4-4 and the Chargers to be 0-7, let me see
03:40the
03:40ticket, because you want a lot of money.
03:42So you're saying that Vegas is going to trade Kirk Cousins?
03:46If you are Vegas, and you just drafted this kid number one overall, like, obviously, what
03:53is Kirk Cousins' deal?
03:55$27,000, $30,000,000?
03:57Yeah.
03:58Maybe it's a two-year, but next year's fake.
04:00There's no way there's real money attached to that.
04:03If you're Vegas, and you just drafted this kid one overall, and you could probably get
04:10real return on investment for flipping Kirk, wouldn't you be considering that?
04:15But I'm saying, what is real return for Kirk right now at this moment?
04:18Like, they had him in the building.
04:20They had a chance to bring him back, and they didn't bring him back.
04:23Minnesota, you're saying.
04:23Yeah, they let him go, and they didn't bring him back.
04:25Now, they wanted to keep him.
04:26They just wouldn't go to the fully guaranteed he got from Atlanta.
04:28So you think they will go back with Kirk?
04:35He's now, what, three, four years removed from being there.
04:38Some extra injuries to pop into there.
04:41I'd make a call.
04:43I don't know, man.
04:45Like, the thing about Kirk.
04:46If you're Vegas, what would you have to get?
04:49If I'm Vegas and I'm trying to trade Kirk?
04:53There are real guarantees on that deal.
04:55I know what you're going to ask for.
04:56People are, they're going to ask for a lot, but they're not going to get it.
05:00I think Kirk Cousins, as well as he can go into some games and be,
05:04I think people know the limitations he has.
05:08He might look outstanding in regular season games and stuff like that,
05:12but he's going to be a little hesitant in those playoff games
05:15and has to get down the stretch.
05:18And I don't know if he would.
05:19But I think playing in Oakland where it's free reign now, Vegas, whatever,
05:26is a better deal.
05:27But going there with pressure on him, I think that may change up some things
05:31with Kirk.
05:32Justin Jefferson has been a very good soldier in Minnesota, I would say.
05:38Receivers tend to let people know when they're upset.
05:42Jefferson's largely kept that in-house.
05:44He seemed very frustrated, visibly frustrated.
05:47The Vikings offense, 29th in yards gained, 27th in points scored.
05:53They are 31st in the NFL in passing yards.
05:57I mean, Kyler has really not been good.
06:00And Carson Wentz ended up starting a game for them.
06:03Kyler Murray, in six starts, B, has 1,000 passing yards.
06:09He's averaging 170 yards per game.
06:12Say what you will about Kirko, but when he was in Minnesota,
06:17Justin Jefferson ate.
06:19Like, I think internally in that building, there's got to be some people
06:25that want them to go get Kirk back.
06:27We'll see.
06:29For me, if I'm Vegas, I think I'm asking for a second.
06:34Just because we know you're desperate.
06:37We have a piece you want that we don't want to give up.
06:40If you're Vegas, I mean, how far outside of the wild card are they?
06:46Right?
06:47I mean, the Bills would win the East, the Steelers would win the North,
06:52Jags win the South, and that's going to happen because the rest of that division stinks.
06:56Broncos would win the West.
06:58This is as of today.
07:00I somehow have five teams in four divisions.
07:02Broncos, Jags, Steelers, Bills.
07:05All right, there's your four.
07:06Now, your wild card teams, and this is heavily loaded here, would be the Bengals,
07:16Chiefs, and then you've got a whole bunch of teams at five and three fighting for that last spot.
07:21The Raiders are only four and four.
07:24Like, they're technically still in the running.
07:27So, it's not like Minnesota's calling a team that just drafted a quarterback number one overall,
07:31and that team is two and six.
07:33Like, they're in it.
07:35I think if you're Vegas, you stand quite firm on what you want, and to me, it's a second.
07:40Is that a price you'd pay if you're the Vikings?
07:43I'm not paying it, but you can pay it.
07:46I just, listen, I've seen Kirk.
07:48Kirk can put up stats all over the place.
07:50Kirk can't close a deal in big moments.
07:53That may all be true.
07:55I mean, there's a...
07:56But that's what I'm...
07:57If I'm going to trade for a quarterback, I need to know he has that gene.
08:00He don't have that gene.
08:02So, I mean, I understand, like...
08:04But if you have a championship-level defense, and you know you're not getting enough offense...
08:06I have a championship-level defense, yes.
08:08But I'm saying, I still want that guy with that gene if I'm going to make that move.
08:14I'm not gung-ho about just the numbers.
08:18We know he know how to get numbers.
08:20We know that for a fact.
08:22But are you going to win the big game with him?
08:25If I still got to depend on the defense, it makes no sense for me to go trade for a
08:28quarterback.
08:29That's true.
08:30We're being super hypothetical.
08:32Nobody knows what actual trade values are in the NFL.
08:34It's a crazy sport.
08:36DeForest Buckner is a dominant defensive lineman.
08:38They got him for a fourth, right?
08:39San Fran.
08:40But let's say, hypothetically, Kirk costs you a second.
08:46You know who the backup is in Cincinnati?
08:48Who?
08:49Joe Flacco.
08:51When Flacco goes in, he deals.
08:53He's old.
08:54There's injury concerns, all that stuff.
08:56Would you be more interested if you're Minnesota in Flacco for what...
09:01You'd probably get a fifth or sixth for Flacco.
09:03I was going to say fourth tops.
09:05Would you be more interested in Flacco at five than Kirk at two?
09:09He won the Super Bowl.
09:11Sure.
09:11Been a while.
09:12I know it's been a while, but still.
09:13He won one.
09:13He got there.
09:15Flacco's been good in the playoffs.
09:16I mean, you could pull his numbers.
09:17That's what I'm saying.
09:19Would you be more interested in Flacco?
09:21I like those that certain genes and certain genetic traits.
09:25I don't see it with Kirk.
09:27I say he's either going to teach how to make money.
09:30He's good at that.
09:32But Joe Flacco in his career, 10-6 in the playoffs, 26 touchdowns against 12 picks.
09:41Obviously, the Super Bowl year was 2012.
09:43It was a long time ago.
09:44He was on and popping that year.
09:45You know what his numbers were in that Super Bowl run?
09:49He didn't miss many.
09:51He threw a lot of touchdowns and that many interceptions.
09:5311 tutties, zero picks.
09:56That's pretty remarkable.
09:57Because they were comparing him to the great ones at that moment.
10:01He got paid all that, too.
10:02He went on a stretch.
10:03Yeah, he did.
10:06I don't know.
10:07I find that Minnesota situation fascinating.
10:11The other situation I find really interesting, and credit to you because you thought there was far too much crowning
10:18for a player of relatively little accomplishment.
10:23The 0-7 L.A. Chargers and Justin Herbert.
10:28Do you think there's a scenario where somebody would trade for Herbert?
10:32Do you think the Chargers would trade Herbert?
10:35I don't know if the Chargers would want to trade him.
10:39I think they wish they could trade their coach.
10:44But they drafted him.
10:46They had him around.
10:47I think they still believe all that stuff we've been hearing about him, that he can be the guy if
10:54he had the right stuff around him.
10:55He's had multiple coaches around him.
10:57He had multiple receivers over there.
10:58Still didn't get it done.
11:00And right now, I don't think it's all his fault, but, you know, we always say the quarterback takes most
11:08of the blame, right?
11:11But, you know, he hasn't.
11:15Do you think there's any chance Herbert gets moved?
11:17I do not.
11:18No, I don't think so.
11:20I think because of the fact that that's more of a general manager on the team thing.
11:27And I think they are going to want to hold on to him.
11:32He only has guarantees through next year.
11:34I mean, the numbers would get staggering, and I think the Chargers would have to take on some dead money
11:39to move him.
11:41I don't know.
11:42I find what's going on with the Chargers pretty damn interesting because they are awful, and you wonder if they're
11:47looking to unload.
11:49I wonder what the Vikings will do at the quarterback position.
11:53I'm curious what the phones think.
11:55800-636-1067.
11:57800-636-1067.
12:00How hot do you think this quarterback market is about to get?
12:05Do you think the Ravens could trade for Joe Flacco?
12:08I don't think the Ravens would trade for Kirk.
12:11Do you?
12:18The Ravens might for Kirk because I think the Ravens feel like they need somebody that knows at least how
12:28to play the quarterback position.
12:30And they already had Flacco twice.
12:32He's been there two times, right?
12:34I don't know if they want to go back to that one.
12:37But what they have right now, it's not going to work.
12:40And I just want to throw this out there.
12:42Ben Argueta, you haven't hit me lately talking about the Ravens.
12:45What's going on, bro?
12:46Four and four Baltimore Ravens.
12:47What's happening?
12:49You're not putting your chest out anymore?
12:54Kirk to Baltimore would be interesting.
12:58Yeah.
12:58I mean, they got firepower.
13:00And in the AFC North, B, who do you trust?
13:05Let's hit the BMITS trust meter here.
13:086-2 Pittsburgh Steelers.
13:11McCarthy wins regular season games.
13:13His career record in the regular season is really damn good.
13:16Yeah, he and Aaron seem to be getting along right now.
13:19I don't know how long that's going to last.
13:21What's crazy is they don't.
13:22But Rodgers seems to be MFing him in games every two weeks.
13:28But, like, maybe they just have enough experience together.
13:31They're getting past it now.
13:32Yeah, they can just deal with it.
13:33But, like, you know, when is it going to become too big of a problem?
13:36I don't know.
13:36That defense is good.
13:38To Wild Card Scotty's credit, he pointed out how well the Pittsburgh offensive line is playing.
13:43They've got two backs of Jalen Warren and Rico Dowdle that have been really good.
13:47He didn't know that.
13:48He lucked up on that, Jay.
13:49Dude, Mike McCarthy's regular season record, 180 and 114.
13:54I mean, that's a 63% win percentage.
13:57I mean, even in Dallas, where he was much maligned, he went 49 and 35.
14:01The numbers in Green Bay are really impressive, 125 and 77.
14:05Two ties, I should add.
14:06But McCarthy coached in the regular season.
14:08The playoff record looks different.
14:10But the regular season, he's been pretty darn good.
14:14In the playoffs, and I think this was the biggest.
14:16But who the Steelers are going to trade?
14:18Trade who?
14:19For what?
14:19I'm not saying the Steelers are trading.
14:20I'm saying if you're the Ravens and you're looking around and you're like,
14:24should we make a move at the quarterback position?
14:28Especially, I'm not trying to do a bit here.
14:30The guy that's expected to start tomorrow night for the Ravens.
14:33Horrible.
14:33What's his name?
14:34Because I don't want to say the wrong name.
14:35I don't know his name.
14:37Do you not know it or do you not want to say it?
14:39No, I don't know it.
14:40I'm serious.
14:40I look at the back of his jersey, then I hear them saying, I'm like, that can't be his name.
14:46It just don't seem like that's the way it's supposed to be pronounced.
14:48Yeah.
14:49I'm going to – Jeff, can you get a pronunciation for the Ravens' starting quarterback's name?
14:55All right, I'll get it.
14:56Hold on.
14:56Thanks, bud.
14:57My point is, if you're the Ravens and you're looking at that NFC North and where they think they are,
15:07do you trust the Steelers?
15:09I think you do trust the Bengals as a real contender.
15:12And then you also have the Browns.
15:14Like, they're all playing well.
15:16If the Ravens are going to make the playoffs, they've got to add a quarterback.
15:21Because I don't think my man out of UConn is going to make much of a difference.
15:24Jeff, what do you got on the pronunciation for my guy?
15:28Fanano.
15:29I know the first three letters is a trap word, so I know I'm not supposed to say it like
15:34that.
15:34But I know it's Fanano, something like that.
15:36Okay.
15:36We'll go with Fanano.
15:37Because that is a bad thing to say.
15:41I'm going to find out.
15:42Okay.
15:42You let me know, B.
15:44If you're the Ravens and you're Eric DaCosta and you're Steve Bishotti, like, you are used to competing at a
15:52high level.
15:53But the reality is they kind of haven't.
15:55They haven't.
15:56And their defense has been bad.
15:59What are you doing?
16:00I'm trying to get this in.
16:01I got to hear it.
16:01I can't hear it from there.
16:06I mean, you almost have a broader – I don't think the Ravens could trade for Kirk because I think
16:13they're going into an offseason where they're supposed to talk dollars with Lamar.
16:18I also wonder if you're the Ravens if you're not starting to have some Lamar questions.
16:21The injuries just continue to pile up.
16:24Last year, the Ravens missed the playoffs at 8-9.
16:26They fire Harbaugh.
16:27They bring in Jesse Minter.
16:28Right now, they're 4-4 with Fanano starting.
16:32Now, maybe they think Huntley can be back relatively soon.
16:35Lamar, it looks like, is done for the year.
16:38There's a lot of intrigue there in Baltimore, I would say.
16:42Minnesota, to me, has to do something.
16:44I do not think Justin Herbert's going to be on the move.
16:46And we haven't even talked about Jonathan Taylor, who I think will be moved.
16:51I don't know where he's getting moved.
16:53Let's talk NFL trade deadline.
16:55Deadline, 800-636-1067.
16:59800-636-1067.
17:03If you think Washington should be in on Taylor, I'm interested to that discussion as well.
17:09I don't know what that will require.
17:11Apparently, folks are interested.
17:13The Giants particularly are interested.
17:16And the Colts have a high asking price.
17:20If I'm Washington, I'm not sure I'm meeting a high asking price.
17:23But if you're John Harbaugh and you just rolled into town and you think you got a chance at an
17:27NFC East title,
17:28and that kind of cements your program for the next several years,
17:32be like, yo, we showed up, we won the title, now we're competing for wins,
17:36now we're competing for more than that, I could see that happening.
17:40If you're Joe Shane, who could use a good season, I could see that happening.
17:45800-636-1067.
17:47NFL trade deadline discussion is open.
