00:00all right right now let's bring on nfl super insider and host of the schultz report it is
00:07indeed jordan schultz good morning sir good morning fellas thanks for having me on yeah
00:13absolutely now you tweeted out monday around noon that you're over under on trades by the
00:19deadline was around 10 and a half and you're taking the over we got a lot of kind of like
00:24pre-last two trade deadline moves what did you think about the happenings of yesterday
00:31well i was devastated because we we landed at 10 and we would have had 11 if not for the
00:37the
00:37bangles which was a i don't know if you saw my report about that but that trade ended up getting
00:42voided to get uh our opportunity from philadelphia it was not to be honest it was not the flurry of
00:49moves that i expected i think that there were a couple reasons why one was the colts
00:55when they made the moves they made two weeks ago with nelson and buckner i think that the market
01:01never really corrected itself after that because there was a feeling that they should have gotten
01:07more and then the jags on monday made not one but two but three huge moves really two massive ones
01:14with bates and davis and as a result of that i thought that there was a little bit okay maybe
01:20they overpaid and now we're not going to uh we're going to be a little more gun shy as a
01:25result there
01:25was also a sense of teams feeling quite frankly like they didn't want to lose the deal if that
01:30makes sense they they were worried so i thought some teams were very worried about not losing the
01:35deal and the public perception and as a result you didn't see quite the flurry i thought uh we would
01:42get on on tuesday who do you think was more uh not wanting to lose a deal the giants or
01:49the colts
01:50oh i think the colts i think the colts really had i would say quite a curious trade deadline um
01:58you know they they passed up i know they had two offers for jonathan taylor with a two plus
02:05and they were very hell-bent fellas on getting a you know what you could call a christian mccaffrey package
02:12which i believe was a two three four and five and they kept saying we want a first round pick
02:18if
02:18you're not going to give us mccaffrey no one was willing to give them a first round pick
02:22and then you know when you talk about jonathan taylor it was strange i mean even in that situation
02:27teams were making offers for taylor and they wouldn't hear back for like three or four days
02:32and i asked listen i was on my phone for like 20 hours and i was in my office exactly
02:37where i am now
02:38and i had the same conversation with several teams which is i can't get a hold of the indianapolis
02:43colts which i've never heard before i said what does that mean they said oh i made an offer i
02:47made
02:47this offer that offer i haven't heard back in multiple days i haven't heard back from the from
02:53the team on my on my offer and so now i'm pulling it that happened several times i i just
02:58was very
02:59unimpressed i'm brutally honest hopefully you know that by now very unimpressed with how they operated
03:04is there any part of you because this has been a discussion i understand the concept of going for
03:09it but do you feel like the jags overpaid at all during their trade extravaganza
03:15you know when i got wind of the jordan davis trade which came together essentially in 90 minutes on
03:21monday i my first thought was wow it's a lot but as i've thought about it more no i i
03:27don't they gave
03:28up a lot but i think there's a misconception with the jags which is to say they they value draft
03:33picks
03:33it just they look at it much differently i spent like four days with that organization
03:38um in the in the in the summer and during training camp trying to understand how they operate and why
03:43they do the things they do and basically they look at it differently they're willing to trade
03:48for example in jordan davis's case a first and a second for a proven commodity they trust the
03:54scouting staff to hit on day two and day three picks or udfas i mean they look at it like
03:59we don't
03:59have a pick in april but we use those picks in november and so they're trying to be ahead of
04:04the curve listen they'll do stuff that other teams won't do like trading high picks uh during the
04:09deadline and they don't believe in going to the combine they don't believe in uh 15 minute
04:14interviews to know a draftee they don't believe in 30 visits they're just operating in a much
04:19different clip than most organizations and just kind of like the chargers who don't believe in
04:24trading anybody when they have zero wins that's another one did that's another one did they did
04:29they make a huge mistake not really unloading anybody i'm not saying they had to trade herbert
04:33or whoever but that felt odd to me i yeah i was i was confused by the yeah i'm good
04:41i'm good i i was
04:43confused by the chargers approach in the sense that were they oh and seven oh and seven and they
04:50haven't they basically told everyone we're not going to trade our marquee players so listen i don't
04:56yeah i wouldn't have advocated for trading herbert but they wouldn't trade khalil mack they got calls
05:00on the conkey they wouldn't trade him um you know they just it's like what at this point in the
05:07season
05:08what are they expecting to accomplish and the guys like a khalil mack or dante johnson or dalvin
05:13thompson veteran good veteran players but veteran players that are going to be on expiring deals they're
05:18not going to be back next season i don't what are you gaining by keeping them around i know it
05:24looks
05:24i know khalil mack's a borderline hall of famer and a great guy to have but you're owen seven
05:27and if you're really realistic you should be thinking oh and a yeah you should be thinking about
05:31the future the kirk cousins move um how how much does that does it really change things for the vikings
05:42i think it helps them a lot considering that kyler i mean kyler hasn't played as well as i think
05:48they would have hoped and i've always been a big fan of his and i know it's another level he
05:52just
05:52hasn't we haven't seen it uh but he also has the gray two hamstring and what you saw on monday
05:57night
05:57against buffalo was quite frankly horrendous from carson wentz i mean it was awful and so they knew
06:03they needed to make a move um they explored i was sold really four options but two of them were
06:09non-starters one was justin herbert that was a non-starter off so that was never going to happen
06:14uh they called on geno smith but the jets felt like we have to continue you know deploying geno
06:20to develop our young offensive players and he's been good they called on daniel jones there was
06:25some communication there but there wasn't a whole lot of value and he felt like in moving him and
06:29then cousins you know that thing came together pretty quickly the raiders have fernando mendoza they
06:33felt like there won't be a huge drop off with him that he's ready and they sat down they did
06:39with um with cousins and basically gave them the choice do you want to stay or you want to go
06:44and
06:45it was an emotional decision but he felt like he wanted to go back to minnesota and try to win
06:49a
06:49super bowl i think it will help minnesota it also rejuvenizes the locker room especially someone like
06:54a justin jefferson jordan addison you know those key players last thing for you what can josh downs do
06:59for the chiefs oh he's gonna help a lot i mean but that's another one where like the chiefs were
07:06waiting to hear back from the colts and i wasn't sure going into tuesday i thought that was definitely
07:11going to happen and then i wasn't sure anymore a tuesday afternoon it did come together the colts
07:15i mean the chiefs never moved uh up their offer they never improved it the way the colts would
07:20have hoped and as a result they i thought they got good value listen i josh down is a really
07:27good
07:27player i mean he's not a household name but he's a really good slot guy he'll be really good on
07:32third
07:32down he's he's very as someone there told me he's just a very consistent route runner understands how
07:38to get open he's smaller so he's not your ex but he will help them a lot on third down
07:42and he'll he'll
07:43help them in pump return he just he's going to give them that consistent sort of second option as
07:48they get rasheed rice back excellent stuff check out the schultz report on youtube thanks for the
07:54time good sir my pleasure thanks guys
