00:00Bills and Jets this weekend. Ray and Cheektawaga has a Let's Get Stupid.
00:04We love to get around with a little Let's Get Stupid.
00:07And when somebody calls in with one, you're going to get right on.
00:09Hey, Ray, what's up?
00:10Gentlemen, good morning.
00:12I think that Brandon Bean should dust off his best Purple Rain album
00:19and play that track, Let's Get Crazy by Prince,
00:23and do something for his swagger.
00:26Do something that will make fans say, okay, at least he's trying something.
00:30You call up San Fran.
00:32You say, you know what, we'll give you a seventh.
00:33Well, you can't trade anything.
00:35The trade deadline just happened.
00:36But if you're talking about Brandon Ayuk, he's about to get cut.
00:40Right, okay, well, he's about to get cut.
00:42Either way, you sign him to the practice squad, and you let him know,
00:46this is your one and done.
00:47You saw what we did to CJ.
00:49You cut up, you're out of here.
00:51However, we're willing to give you a chance.
00:53We're willing to give you the best quarterback in the NFL right now,
00:57a chance to possibly make the Super Bowl if you can contribute at a good level.
01:02And we'll give you an incentive-laden contract.
01:05Hopefully that doesn't cost too much against the cap.
01:07I don't know what the cap ramifications of that would be.
01:10But I think right now he's a lot better in terms of speed,
01:14in terms of demonstrated ability in the past.
01:17I don't know what he's lost in being out of the game for the year and a half,
01:23two years that he's been out.
01:24But I'm going to suspect he would probably be able to start at least as WR3 on this team
01:31with a couple of weeks on the practice squad getting acclimated.
01:34This would buy Brandon Bean a lot of love from Bill's fans
01:39because at least he's trying something.
01:41At least he's trying to think outside of the box.
01:43Let's get crazy.
01:45Let's get nuts.
01:46Brandon Bean, gird your loins and make a phone call.
01:50All right.
01:51Ray says, let's get stupid.
01:53Let's talk about Brandon Ayuk.
01:55This is a perfect let's get stupid.
01:58Because some NFL team is going to decide, let's get stupid.
02:02Let's sign this guy to our practice squad.
02:04He's going to be cut loose by the Niners.
02:06He's coming off an injury.
02:08He hasn't played in two years.
02:11He played half the 24 season.
02:13That's when he got hurt.
02:14And we're half full season.
02:15And we're halfway through the 26th season.
02:18So it's been two full years.
02:20Yeah.
02:21When he was healthy and at the peak of his powers, he was, in my opinion, top three receiver in
02:27football.
02:28Great.
02:29Elite.
02:30Talent.
02:30The last full season he played, he was a second team all pro receiver.
02:33Yes.
02:33The only ones ahead of him were CeeDee Lamb, Tyree Kill, and if you go, like, yards per target, he
02:40dwarfed everybody.
02:41He was a guy that might have had 1,600 yards on not that many targets.
02:47All right.
02:48Let's get stupid.
02:49Ready?
02:50Be you with us.
02:53Let me use Joe Brady's phrase.
02:55I don't know if they want him to be him, though, because...
02:57Hey.
02:57Because C.J.
02:58Garner Johnson just blew up in their face.
03:00Not even that.
03:01Like...
03:01But C.J.
03:02Garner Johnson was a...
03:03We need...
03:04We are...
03:05You are planning to start for us.
03:07This is let's get stupid.
03:08No one's allowed to get mad at us for anything we say in this segment.
03:10C.J.
03:11Garner Johnson was...
03:12You're a starter.
03:13Whoever does the IUK idea at any point here, it's...
03:18Do you actually want to get back in the game?
03:21Drew Rosenhaus is his agent.
03:23Rosenhaus has been doing the rounds lately saying, like, hey, I'm trying to...
03:26He's doing work.
03:26I've helped clients before.
03:28I'm going to help this guy get back in the game.
03:30He wants to get back in the game.
03:32Everything that happened in San Francisco, you know, the player looks like he lost his marbles.
03:37Who knows?
03:37The guaranteed money was voided, and that might have led to a fracture where they're never
03:44going to be on the same page again, ever again, after a nasty holdout.
03:48So, you know, the relationship was kind of poisoned.
03:52Whoever does this, whether it's Washington, that's always been the speculation, you go back
03:56and play with Jaden Daniels, who he played with in college, and if you're going practice
04:02squad, and you gave it a couple of weeks and said, listen, man, if you want to get back
04:08in, there's a couple practice squad elevations we might have for you, whatever team you are.
04:14There is a road back for him.
04:18It's just...
04:18Who wants to waste their time with it?
04:20Who wants to make this a huge story for their team in the moment?
04:25Yeah, because it would be a weekly conversation, when will he play?
04:31Whoever does it.
04:33Some teams maybe would do it immediately, like the Rams are out of receivers, maybe he would
04:36just play, like, pretty quickly.
04:38Yeah.
04:38But, like, let's say the Bills did sign him, and he's on the practice squad.
04:42Every week we'd be wondering when he plays.
04:44Right, if he would.
04:45So, like, you just have to know, like, that's a part of this, like, he'll be, he's a big
04:50enough name, he'll be a story that you get asked about a lot, you don't have to care
04:53about being asked that, if you're just fine fighting through it.
05:01He, though, seems so poisonous and untrustworthy that...
05:09Well, poisonous and untrustworthy, if I may, just devil's advocate.
05:12Has he been accused of being a bad teammate while on a team before?
05:16Or is this bitter, lost is, whatever, lost it all, rage, AWOL, about the Niners, and about
05:27John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan?
05:31That's all.
05:31I feel like that's what every team is going to want to talk about.
05:34That's what Rosenhaus is going to sell all these teams.
05:36Sure, that's definitely what he's doing.
05:38Like, what happened there was something he couldn't accept, and he's decided he's ready
05:43to move on.
05:44But, yeah, I mean, his teammates didn't sound that...
05:50It could be because of the, you gave up on us, you, you know, the way you did things.
05:56Like, Kittle was pretty, like, we don't need this guy back in the locker room.
06:00Yeah, fair.
06:01So, I don't know.
06:02I don't know what he's like in that setting.
06:04You're right.
06:04Like, most of the stories about him and the Niners were about money, right?
06:08Like, the contract dispute that went on for years, and then finally they paid him, and
06:13then it was the rehab stuff, and then he wasn't reporting to the facility, and just, yeah,
06:17like, it did seem more about management versus him.
06:21But, if I feel like I've got to keep him...
06:26The whole thing that's going to be sold here by Rosenhaus is, he's a professional.
06:33Like, you sign him, he's not going to go AWOL.
06:37He's going to just come in and work, and he's going to be on the field for you.
06:39Well, I don't think he could get anything above a practice squad right now, right?
06:42He's not signing to a 53.
06:44I don't think so.
06:44No way.
06:45No one's giving him a...
06:45It's a practice squad, it's a couple elevations, and then, oh, look at that.
06:50We've had a couple games where, this is not even for the Bills.
06:52This could be for Washington.
06:53This could be, like you said, for the Rams.
06:55Yeah.
06:55That is the road back.
06:58And there is the risk of, you don't know what he's going to look like off that knee injury,
07:02which he did not really rehab at the team facility.
07:05So, he kind of did that on his own, I think.
07:06Yeah.
07:07So, that's going to be a question also.
07:09He was amazing as a route runner.
07:12Yeah.
07:13He would get open all the time the last time we saw him, and that'd be a question.
07:19He's 28, right?
07:21He's not, like, so old that, you know, you should be concerned about the age.
07:25It's more about the injury part of it.
07:26Yeah, it's 28.
07:28I mean, wouldn't the Chiefs do something like this?
07:32Yeah.
07:34Like, oh, we'll bring a guy like this into our practice squad, see if it works.
07:38We're not really worried if it blows up in our face.
07:45I'm not saying I'm totally against it.
07:48I don't think it's going to happen.
07:49I don't think it's going to happen.
07:50I mean, there are 25 teams that would say, like, not even going to consider it.
07:54You said there's a report one NFC team has talked about it?
07:57Yep.
07:58Right.
07:59I know that, oh, I thought I saw both the Rams and the Seahawks connected.
08:10I think I'm trying to find that.
08:12I thought I saw Seattle and the Rams mentioned by somebody.
08:19803-0550, our phone number.
