Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio tells Rich why it’s time for the NFL to put Deshaun Watson on paid leave until he settles his 24 civil lawsuits, how the impending sale of the Denver Broncos impacts Russell Wilson’s contract status, if the Jon Gruden lawsuit vs the NFL could derail the Las Vegas Raiders’ promising season, and why he wouldn’t be shocked to see Lamar Jackson sign with the Dolphins in 2023 if things fall apart with the Baltimore Ravens and Tua Tagovailoa tanks it in Miami.

In his ‘Overreaction Monday’ segment Rich says how many Super Bowl titles we can expect from Rams Head Coach Sean McVay, if Aaron Rodgers can win a 3rd straight NFL MVP award, if Mitchell Trubisky will start every game or zero games for the Steelers next season, and if the Seattle Seahawks starting QB is on their roster yet.

Rich breaks down the AFC West and says which of the Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs or Broncos has best combination of QB-RB-Receivers, says why he’s sticking with his prediction that the silver & black will take the division and why the Broncos still have a lot to prove even with the addition of Russel Wilson.

Right now the top of our number two regarding the NBC Sports on Peacock lollapalooza every single day with Pro football talk live visa PFT lot and he's a must follow our Pro football talk on twitter and his new book playmakers is still available for all books are sold Mike Florio on the Mercedes-Benz transform on how you doing very well. I mean during the commercial break at the end of our number one I read.

I guess the relevant material in the 24th, 24th, civil lawsuit that's been filed against DeShawn Watson and again I know innocent until proven guilty, and he says that there is nothing to see here essentially and there were no criminal charges filed. I do want to for due diligence say that but on appalled and disgusted by what I read and I'm wondering what what is what you think is happening now that the league is investigating him or is that through this investigation were closely under investigation and there's still more civil suits being put out there back side of public opinion took a negative turn again what the benefit members of the jury of the court of public opinion were already on that side. When Rusty Hardin to represent DeShawn Watson said on Houston radio Friday basically is no crime in having a massage become a sexual encounter, no crime, and trying to make it happen. There's no crime. Therefore John Watson did nothing wrong. I didn't get it together that clearly but given the context it was obvious what he was saying downplaying this idea that if DeShawn Watson did indeed get massages lined up with the hope that they would become sexual encounters and actively tried to make that happen.

There's nothing wrong, everything's fine no problem. I think the reaction that suggested to me that people start to realize the evidence could be overwhelming as it relates to the pattern the practice in the habit and this is the thing that jumped out from the first page of the new lawsuit the 24th lawsuit filed against Charlotta the notion that Watson seeks out random strangers on Instagram for massage as he is done more than 100 times that the allegation straight from the complaint and this is written by the lawyer that represents all 24 these plaintiffs, so I'm assuming this allegation that he's gone to social media more than 100 times to seek out random strangers for massage that's founded on some sort of fact been developed in the case and if that's the case in a jarring unit and it confirms kind of a know it when you see it. This is what's really going on. He's using these massages as cover for trying to steer them toward a sexual encounter and it turns out, 24, the people objected and were offended and have decided to pursue their rights in civil court.

And this is just a mess for the NFL. And I know it taken paid leave off the table, I think, based on the things happen in the last week.

It may be time to put paid leave back on the table. At least that's something to consider while writing it all figured out what to do something to get example, it doesn't play until these cases are resolved and then a decision is made on discipline and if he's determined to fight these cases the girl happen to 2024. Now if you not playing football is more months available on the calendar to go to trial, but you still talking about trying to have 24 separate trials that is not something to snap your fingers and that takes time. That takes effort that takes focus. If you determine to find all of the now if you find out you get put on pay leverage all the sudden the case is settled to settle for cheap, but I think if he would learn that the leak was put on paid leave that would move this thing toward resolution pretty quickly. Not to be flippant like buddy slots and gave each one of these accusers $1 million to settle. He would still be one of the more higher paid quarterbacks in the NFL with the money left over from the Browns guaranteed 46 million dry and and and the fact that the Browns backed unit gave him cushion with the way the first year of his contract is laid out. Apparently, where the only money that can be touched in terms of a suspension is just 1 million of the 46 so right that the problem is there been two other occasions in the lifecycle of this litigation or settlement was seriously considered. In April 2021, they were ready to settle the case. If you believe what Tony Busby and Rusty Hardin. The two lawyers who have negotiated the settlements are saying it they they really think they disagree on one thing they do agree on it. They were ready settle the case at Busby wanted a nondisclosure agreement to keep the payments and all of the term secret and Rusty Hardin didn't want an NDA usually feel the way around the party that paying once the NDA because they don't want the world to know what was paid IN a hard want to be able to pump his chest and say Tony Busby got peanuts which means the case had no merit, but they were ready to go if if Harden just would've agreed to the NDA and it doesn't happen and look it. I don't know what the amount was maybe 10. I don't know. 20. I don't know what it was thousand I'm talking about, but it wasn't much. Then comes late October early November, when the Dolphins in a trade for DeShawn Watson and they have so much worked out with 18 to 22 planes for hundred thousand dollars each. All 22 apparently were offered $100,000 and 18 ready to take it and DeShawn Watson didn't settle with the 18 he wanted to settle with all or nothing.

Now you've got 22 actually 24 and you mentioned a million and you know what I mean on the service given everything we are learning now I don't know how unreasonable that looks the problem is he had two prior occasions where he could've settle these cases for hell of a lot less. I think psychologically that is tough bridge to cross and it makes him more likely to just double down trickle-down quadruple down and fight and fight and fight, that's the problem.

That's why think paid leave something NFL should use it strategically to force them to settle the case. I think a natural byproduct of using paid leave would be, he probably digs deep and settle the case. But I do think they started and come out last week and was starting to crystallize in the court of public opinion that he was using these massages as cover for seeking sexual act and it was, not just a habit.

It was pervasive more than 100 if that's true I did, I don't. I can put them on the football field until he states as a result.

Again Rusty Hardin saying what he said on the radio last Friday locally in the state of Texas, Houston, one of the Browns thinking publicly they would continue to say we wouldn't do anything differently because that's what I have to do but I like to think privately. There are some raised eyebrows and some tough questions because I don't think they envision the dominoes falling the way they did II always point out that they have a person who carries the title chief strategy officer all the Podesta, I assume. Good strategy is implicit in that I haven't seen a good strategy. Yet as relates to how they handle DeShawn Watson and I don't think they they bargained for this thing to unfold the way that it has no therapy, and honest. They probably they probably just go back to the middle of March and not get caught up in that competition to be the one of the four teams that managed to get into the final position and ultimately through 230 million, fully guaranteed Sean Watson to get them to agree to trade much lower principal talk to your rich eyes and show the Broncos are about to be sold.

It looks like right is that the what, what's going on with the Broncos because again, this is the size I know I know were talking about the legal issues involving a quarterback and a sale of the franchise, but that does have ramifications in terms of Russell Wilson getting paid him in terms of setting another market for quarterback and how that can actually cascade into other quarterbacks looking to get paid right now so what, what's the latest on the Broncos sale today at the deadline second round of formal bid 04 groups left thinking is that Rob Walton, the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton is the favorite now. I've been told it is to lose and if one of these other groups really wants to try to outbid him could basically an option at this point it's not like the parable in trust is going to say. Each of these four groups affect her playing board can keep the team may have to sell the team. The legal want to be one owner of the Broncos the league. I'm surprised at how long the league has let this situation linger in one of the reasons been pushed to add is because the legal want every team to have one person who is fully in charge of the affairs of that franchise and I thought someone suggested they go to walk for four and half billion. Well if one of the other three decide to keep getting this up higher and higher know it ends up being like JFK golf clubs to keep going higher and higher until we get to the final point where one party puts the paddle down and the other Windows and collect golf clubs so he could go north of 5 billion.

It just depends upon where the other groups decided that they're going to keep pushing it northward. And of course Rob Walton hopes the other three Out and and he can just get up at four and a half-billion so II was told along to go for five and will see maybe these other three groups are gonna push it over five and if they don't get one. Haven't spilled a the highest price ever paid for franchise. It just underscores how much money is available to pay players another. The salary cap going up value to the team keep going up and the curve keeps going up as to what quarterbacks are making. I think the challenge of NED deals rich with Russell Wilson column or anyone else where the Now and where's the Going because you don't want to get yourself in a spot where to three years from now you say I did that deal and then I think that's good to be that the challenge for Russell Wilson. I've been arguing for years that wanted quarterback should get his compensation tied to a fixed percentage of the salary Then he protected against the Going up so much that he feels like he doesn't have fair deals. So is this why Russell Wilson's contract and getting paid is suddenly on twitter and on social media people are texting me friends and just curiosity anywhere where his contract suddenly come to the forefront as is it based on the Broncos sale settling in, as we work through the off-season business trade, and that was big news and when he was traded there was a day. Hey, what about his contract.

It is a now a member of the Denver Broncos with the reality is you get two years left and typically what is agent Mark Rogers does is negotiate the new deal with one season left on the current contract so this is coming next year, but from the Broncos perspective, there is value rich and in saying if we do it now can be cheaper and if you want does not have a great year I went to pay me the way we had a good year badger we had Pam. We've already done the broader deal here. We've made the trade. This is our guy if he has a bad year were not the lowball and were going to pay them a market value deal to pay them less.

If we do it now but but if Russell Wilson's not jostling for contract $24 million total payout this year. That's a pretty good deal when you consider walking to get 46*and Russell Wilson get 24 that's a good deal for the Broncos so you if I'm if I'm Russell Wilson. I probably rather get the deal done now for certainty.

But if you kick it year and you have a big season. You can make a lot more of the law. Florio here on the rich eyes and show couple of four minutes left with you, sir.

You know I'm high on the Vegas raters for this year to talk more about it later on in this hour so I'm I'm kinda kicking the tires amok and tear this thing a little bit asunder is the Gruden case can a pop up during the season in any way shape or form and create you know questions for players and things like that. What's going on with the Gruden case and how it moves forward will manifest itself during the season is any point the rate I believe it will not be an issue at any point this year for the team because what will happen is the ruling from a couple of weeks ago that the case doesn't have to go to arbitration cases allowed to proceed in. In a normal courtroom setting. The NFL will appeal that to every higher course will it with the Rams, the St. Louis relocation litigation. They tried to force it in arbitration. They took it all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Report quantity like 99% of the cases that are submitted to it. But that takes time and every step you've got briefing schedule you got months ago by you got oral argument then you wait for your ruling and then the window opens on the next level of appeal and it'll take time and I don't foresee it. And although much about the machinations of the Nevada legal system, but I'd be stunned if this is resolved at any point before mid 2023 and it'll probably be later than that is probably two football seasons, until we know for sure that John Byrne did go forward with this effort to basically find out who ordered the code red by leaking those emails that forced him out of go to the raters so the smokers got dormant, like so many cases do you hear something about it and then you don't hear anything about it for a long time and then you hear something about it again. I doubt we're going to hear anything about John Byrne. Other than the NFL has filed an appeal to the next level up in the Nevada court system will hear about that at some point they'll be briefing. It'll be bogged down just by the general flow of litigation and you know at some point later this year or early next year will be a decision and if the NFL loses though appeal at the next level and then once it gets the highest court. Nevada, the NFL will roll the dice again trying to get the Supreme Court to take up the case for his vision is going to be an obsession. NFL has an session do not have these cases play out in open court, and especially not this one.

They don't want the public to know what's in those emails.

All of the email they don't want the public to know who what denies those emails, whether with the league office. Where is Dana Snyder whenever somebody else they just don't want that dirty laundry out there so they will fight as long as they can to try to get the case in arbitration lessons we might Florio you just mentioned were sessions. Let's talk about two of you know and I just love the dolphins storyline that's coming for the season.

I love it. It's kind of under the radar. Certainly when you're talking about Lamar's contract.

Kyler's contract, the AFC West. Matt Ryan is now in Indianapolis. Russell again is to talk about the AFC West where he is.

You got Brady you got Rogers you got so much going on than you got to was sitting there with Mike McDaniel and Tyree kill and year you heard to accounting a little salty the other day bringing up his throat is Tyree get the end of practice and did you catch that, because units in reference to what was out there on twitter so you're the perfect God asked this one to Mike Florio, my guy Chris Brockman asked me every single Friday.

What's more likely question and asking the what's more likely question because this again. I can't wait to hear your answer on this. If you agree with Mike. What's more likely that to has 30 combined touchdowns this year, he only has 33 in his whole career or he struggles and Brady is the quarterback for Miami in 2023. How well wow wow are likely more likely got 33 total in his career and we need 30 combined this is a chance numbers will go up with Mike McDaniel but there still be flaws and again did McDaniel do a great job of concealing. I still think between those two, it's more likely that he struggles and Brady in 2023 or the first guy you mentioned other than to Lamar Jackson in 2023, Raymond and Raymond don't get this deal done with him and and he's made it clear he doesn't want to negotiate the season to be a window of opportunity for them to finally do this after the season, assuming he engages the point where I think the ravens get exasperated, I don't know that I never know anything like safer that way.

I think that at some point, the rate of your further hands in the air and say we had a move on.

It is to take our money.

We just have to move on you tagging and you trade them, and you may be traded to the Miami Dolphins if they are looking for an upgrade over to after this season, so it's like one big taking your talents to South Beach Tyree today or everybody's there just add Lamar and that's that's part of the. The over the shoulder lurking looming presence, not Brady, but Lamar are no excuses here for two and last year it took some time but I think he eventually got a chip on his shoulder over the DeShawn Watson talk at one 8/9 gained after the window closed on the Sean Watson trade. I think that distraction was bothering him. I think the fact that Brian Florez was fixated on getting to out and DeShawn Watson in with an issue for two companies is going to internalize the way Tom Brady would get to stop and and that's why like the chipping as we saw last week, an indication that's what he's doing. The question is any physically do it.

Can he stay healthy. Can he make a big throw in a big spot you the McDaniel often needed operate in the shorter when it's time to put one through the keyhole.

30 yards down the field. Tyree kill can to do it that's that's when were going to know whether or not the answer.

After this season, but no excuses improved offense of line the receivers the running backs.

The defense is the same author Lester. They saw the same defensive coordinator. So if they fail this year to be to take the dotted line right back to Tula and then the question becomes what they do next or Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson, who knows. It's an attractive destination.

If they're looking for a quarterback next year.

Rich, that's good to be the number one destination for God is looking to get out of the spot that is Brady would be to take pretty much leverage for your creative deal next year when they offer you money for.

I get 37, a half-million to discuss it in the booth. Great stuff like Florio thanks of the present bill Florio every body that will that's and that's that's a nifty little we hadn't thought about that one again they franchise Tigerman Lamar's like yeah this is not working here for me. I want to go. He's born in Warren, Pompano Beach, Florida. He's a floor he's a Florida kid went to Louisville want to get drafted by the ravens winning an MVP. There is MVP season. Chris lookup is MVP season. That would be 2919 right because it's been Rogers last two years.

Look up his game while Chris his first game of 2019 oh Miami at five touchdowns ago and I was on here saying like doing it surreal to bingo bingo dolphins would be perfect. Fascinating that they said to us salty to Italy. Some blahs some some I don't know. I kind of got my timeline and I said I love salty to its can work it salty to I said that Thursday and Friday US and what's more likely 30 combined touchdowns for two or praise a quarterback in 2023 nights in his writing.

Some site that covers the dolphins accuse me of going full wrestling heel turn 24 hour doing on that I was in onto a non-and then I go wrestling heel turn on is the resident wrestling heel turn in my wrestling heel care resident resting expert here, here, that is using go heel turn on him. You just diming you literally done nothing but praise is just that I believe 30 combined touchdowns for him this year or what is more likely that Brady shows up there and who knew and old jokers wild for a phrase of going off the board usually is for fear was for $50 back then. That's how long ago it was jokers well off the board Mike Florio off the board and says Lamar Jackson instead.

Baby when the people that Lamar the season of the Super Bowl contenders at rich eyes and show you your name tag. Lamar will see about you but I look like money. This is Jack barrier Bill Collins jokers check their okay little bit longer yesterday. I don't think I don't think it snoops more than $50 your support.

These things I will take a break overreaction Monday baby that's next on the rich eyes and show him 844204 which number down here on this Monday in June. He real first Monday in June 4, 2022. It's a Monday so it's not time as always for overreaction Monday here on this edition of the rich eyes and show it over there. Christopher, I cooked up over there will you down with the NFL theme neatly swing all NFL again today. I like you may hear him yes yeah we got married over the weekend here in Los Angeles. Indeed had some comment three cities is not that interested in trying to chase down Bill Belichick's wind and shoeless to run not interested in being the all time wins later in NFL history is only 36 years old guys. Five wins already in his career. Okay Bill Belichick when he got his 55th when he was 50 years old and already had a Super Bowl title, how about that my overreaction is this charming way to get the win total.

Please go to get bills Super Bowl half of the Super Bowl.

Total so he's can we, including his assistant coach rings as well. I was discounting head coach is having six head coaches so he needs two more symbols and overreaction you don't know I don't already 36 is working with the booth already talking maybe early retirement. I know I think he does love coaching you know AZ gloves Los Angeles. He loves living here is got a team that can win for a while. Got a general manager knows how to after pics and the gun going down got older, I understand that but I think that there say that's not an overreaction. I thought you were to save his coach only 10 more years or something like that, this way let's put it this way, McVeigh's Super Bowl win total at three and here's here's the deal. Here's the clock on McVeigh if I can have no insight into this whatsoever. The clock on Sean McVeigh is the next time a seat opens up in a major National Football League partners booth okay so take a look at how long Romo's contract is take a look how long it's contract is take a look how long her streets contract is Amazon and obviously Fox's got a seat for a while and however long Brady wants to continue making 37 half-million dollars in their okay that's what I'm saying is so different seat opens up and they throw Brady type of money at Sean McVeigh or even remotely in that neighborhood.

Then Sean McVeigh might sit there and think coaching isn't all that it's cracked up to be anymore because why else would he stop doing if those seats are not available. Proceeds are not available maybe keeps doing doing until she becomes available so the next for five years that's and that's a tall order. As you know, there's only been one team it's one thread in the last four. Three out of four next to Brady Bella check Tina last went back to back, but if you're saying for his entire career.

I say that's not overreacting right next up thoughts are just sitting there.

You just sit there. You just babysit in a corner over there just like a line you are you going to take that's with the contingent for my warriors because it's gonna get tough and otherwise without a Packers Raven nonmandatory minicamp this week is to be present down.

Rogers and Rogers is can be present, guys. Three of the match. This one Aaron Rodgers is high you think he's got no press zero pressure. This overpressure zero pressure. This is an endnote of Isaiah Rogers is high. Brett Favre and with third straight MVP tall just on on on salon.

Odds are to use the do you dream online is that we know where you you do do have that but odds are that that's not to happen was the odds on favorite to win the MVP award right now is Josh Allen at 5 to 1. Prescott, Justin Herbert is 11 to 25 Justin Herbert okay Patrick Mahon 921 Joe Borough 11 to 1. That's my choice to air Rogers and Tom Brady both at the same odds their teammates and I would go to John Johnson so so that's overreaction. I got Josh Allen back Prescott 25 to 1. If I do choose even just from the match, who's who's got the best odds to win the MVP this year from just the match.

I would go Josh Allen to Rogers reporting for mandatory minicamp after signing for $50 million your contract. That's news. She's gonna be there and everybody Ariane axes got zero pressure on him like and I will continue to say that I've totally talk myself into that. But why does every coder back have some type of personal essay do, but he's already been there and done that. He's got one in the case and there is honestly rated talk about being you know having comfort in your career.

To paraphrase what down). Donald just said the other the other Aaron. So he's cool just having that one Super Bowl and he's cool with it but in terms of him sitting there, so I got pressure on me.

Oh my gosh I need to do it. He did many things about retirement of Ernie Johnson.

I think about that you retiring to really get to know something about retirement is dozen times and in and then you have five other jobs at five other jobs and I say you are irrational. I think okay that's a heads up for something when you take days off on the phone like him on the phone dealing with stuff for our show to be here tomorrow just want to be as he's walking out the door, you asked about the next or sometimes you come and start to show you look up and fill her eyes.

Matt Jones is really good. 2020 as I was now coming in the candidate during many shredded doesn't have that little baby got the front-end system 10 is born says it's got swagger like Jones got even better in 2022 year met Patricia might accomplish. Take that back to Patricia's pretty smart guy. He's an engineer. Anybody was got a defense of academic and certainly call often supplies it could be imposes corrector with the line students forget about that. How many yards did the Eagles will have a metric even better. Like what you mean by that and I just wanted MoveOn water.water.parades can you swim is another one I like to we guys the Steelers they have three good quarterbacks good. My but I think Mitchell Stravinsky is going to be the guy there to say Mitch is going to start every game. No shots here for this year it sits behind him start week one week one absolutely here is 9 inch hands are than I have is that the recorder and I'm running because his guy got shot a week, one for the Pittsburgh Steelers said. What's more than overreaction you choose this DJ Jeff and I said what you said or what Chris is proposing. Wow, I don't over think it starts week one. What's more, overreaction. I need honestly knowing the Steelers while I may think that maybe you are is yours is a little bit more. All right says the man who still waiting on his $20 because pick the top five draft your play will not let you use Chris to cross the hall. Here is my cost is no line line is cut down trees in your shot and your husband Ryan still not as good as the guy who the cement Gino Smith guys and into the locker quarterbacks, but it's not them. This young starting quarterback isn't on the roster right now.

I still think you're right about that.

Still not overreaction still not overreaction to be droplet excused from being the this 49ers mandatory minicamp in the second time taken my it's okay Chris, you're in here you now 40 minutes away from actually using that so many new side that is not overreaction. I agree with you on that.

I will text takes one ticket week one ticket week one I think is this her cheapest QB there backing up and yelled at. That's the second time it's happened. We went somewhere and don't know what someone else. Let's take a break here Rich Eisen show doubling down and involves Las Vegas white on white rats always get to join us in studio our number three as well 844204 Rich number down here in the program.

What is the boy for the boy's 1991 think they were naming in an homage up at Midland table 1. Will Compton so look, I did a top 10 list last week of the top five things that I have talk myself into about the 2022 NFL season and number one on the list is the Las Vegas raters are going to win the American football conference Western division that yes Russell Wilson has arrived.

Randy Gregory's arrived and Khalil Mack as arrived in JC Jackson has arrived and Tyree kill may have gone but juju Smith Schuster and Marques Valdes's gambling arrived and the teams have drafted very in the AFC West and they're ready to roll. That is the deepest end of the division pool in the NFL is no question about AFC West.

However, the Las Vegas raters made their own moves Chandler Jones to go along with Max Crosby, Devante Adams, for crying out loud. Josh McDaniels in his second opportunity being a coach. We all know it worked out for Bella check his first time second time was the charm and arm sent so the autumn wind is a pirate and just to give you even more of a sense double triple down my colleagues at the NFL media group put out this photograph and put it on their twitter and put it on their Instagram. It is the quarterback, running back and to pass catchers for each of the four teams in the AFC West and now I know you guys took this to mean like choose one quarterback, one running back into a wide receiver small Florida choose your team. I took this to mean which one has the best quarterback, running back and pass catching combination.

They both work okay I'm going to do because I like which is the one has the best quartet of all four teams and you got the chiefs of the top when the homes Clyde Edwards, a layer juju Smith Schuster and Travis Kelsey and then you've got the Broncos with Russell Wilson, Joe Fonte Williams as a running back. Good young running back and Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy is the wide receivers the charges of Justin Herbert as a quarterback Austin Eckler was a touchdown machine and Keenan Allen, and our friend Mike Williams who was on this program the other day. Those are your to pass catchers for the loss Angeles charges right there might hit the AFL heat is is that we haven't really come up to the raters the raters have Derek car Josh Jacobs Devante Adams and terrible and I saw this I said to myself, that's who I would choose to go into battle with the quarterback, running back into pass catchers. Even if you weren't all in on them already. Even if I wasn't all in on him already and I understand Derek car may not be your best quarterback of choice from the homes in Herbert and Russell Wilson and I'll ask you this question 190 baby hasn't won a Super Bowl like Russell and like the homes and also you as an didn't come out of the box out of the gate like Justin Herbert did Ms. rookie season.

Although car had an MVP campaign built in his early part of his career until his leg snapped for the Jack del Rio Oakland Raiders. You know, but I'll take Devante Adams over everybody on that list of the wide receiver position and Kelsey is who I would take over Waller but that's not too far off for pass catcher number two.

I am vital any pushback from the floor. I would say sticking with the team. Don't go homes in the Fonte in nine games. You gotta stay within the teams. I think I would take the charger and III don't have an argument for you to make the case that Herbert upside better than Derek car you could make the case that Eckler is better than Jacobson that I think you can make that case and then the Jacobs you know all the Eckler couple years ago got banged up Jacobs is just been mystified Jacobs when Jacobs run this the football, I've said it before, I'll say it again. He reminds me of Zeke. He's big, he's bigger than you think Paxil wallop when he hits you right and I know that in pick up its fifth year option in lot of folks view that as a lack of or vote of no confidence is also run back was Elsinore Emily's rushing yards went down last year in his third year, but I could see you stay healthy last two years.

My point is that he is more involved in the past gave me a 21 more catches than still get in touch, TJ Jefferson you have the floor so which one of us were eager put back up again.

If you think I know the limits he will AFC West quartet would you choose to back running back to pass catchers.

All things considered. I am think the place downstairs, mother frozen over. But roller broccoli again on something charger just like you Google you drop nothing is I think it's raters.

I think I think maybe sometimes people don't understand how good Keenan Allen is a football IQ supply that is aggressive runners in the game. I can't like so Devante Adams might be better thinking I would take a bite out of Sinai's are worlds better than Keenan Allen, and especially the is the best wide receiver in the National Football League. Keenan Allen is a very close to that. No question.

He's terrific. So in Williams and Waller. That's that's close I think I just saw it as a matchup nightmare on the level of Kelsey so I'm giving I think my Danish comes Eckler and Jacobs I just put more than one more time put out one more time. My homes to Kelsey is that we had to go as fast quarterback tied in combination in the NFL.

I will say that in but will know how Russell is going to have to learn. That's what we didn't pick that what these guys do on the field and second nature stuff. Herbert and Allen and Williams have known each other now for every single second that Herbert spent in the league. Devante Adams and Derek, six cents that goes back to college and Waller in car is a matchup nightmare to which I am still friends with my four best friends from college. We haven't spent – and that we did not school but we you know that's a long time to not play football assembly. No matter how tight you might be in you live in the one guy moves the other guy buys a house neighborhood that's great, but you have still been been on the football field together for what six years, so you'll take the charges both of you over the raters thanks combination is okay, but it's very close intimates of coin toss really, that's another reason why men because we pick on me. Chris I really charge a nominal, I'm just an estimate on putting it all up. I obviously can continue talking myself into this. I've already done so as you're willing to be like dialing these raters is like to put all your everything in that bag. Okay absolutely. The autumn wind is a part hi yes thanks: Rich Eisen is its clustering just for fun.

Much is blustering just for fun year.

I I believe it I'm I'm in my name and it will be either glorious this fall. I'm in a take it in the shorts on his single rotor and the music's perfect learning and from that Asiana said with a song he sleeps alone. Yes, swaggering, and I'm telling you I look so I'm seeing everything like that and I'm using it to bolster my opinion even upside down in line with these conquered white restaurant, the place out noted took the Broncos today. Not even twitched in that direction and strands are not happy about all very not happy about anything that might be you know it is this respect in my mind I need to see. I need to see it.

That's fair to believe it. I need to see these guys in Ross. I need to see Ross with these guys. I need to see that that means our first time that coach with Russell Wilson in a new spot with new receivers. The team is being sold. I I am not at all saying Ross will not when it Super Bowl in Denver. Not saying I might say that you might say that I'm not doing this. I am not viewing this as a vote of no confidence in Ross. I'm just saying for me in 2022. Derek Carr and Devante Adams according to his brother David, they've been trying to get together for five years.

There finally be done. It done it, and this new head coach knows how to come up with a system. He gets the ball out fast and whose can have a matchup problem.

If you've got your eye on Adams and you've got your eye on water here comes Renfro or here comes Jacobs hitting you in the mouth. This is a terrific matchup problem offense right now so that's why I'm taking them in the Broncos can have that to and maybe will surprise everybody I don't even know if they're making the playoffs this year and I know that this is off so many Broncos frescoes were supposed to sit and go, you don't trust its distributors like Peyton Manning you have the whole team right ready to go just at Peyton you going to make two super Bowls that I don't see I don't see that but I need to see what Sutton and Patrick and Judy Williams and Ross look like nothings wants to stop holding to but I I can't wait to watch it. Ross in Seattle started off as incredible Ross here in Los Angeles on Christmas Day there to be must-see television. Can't wait to watch him and I hope for you Broncos fans I'm wrong about 2024.
