How do we break down what the dolphins managed to do here? Do you have a good summary for us? I believe that what happened was, like the overall is the dolphins moved down from three to six and got a first round pick to do so. And they weren't going to draft, they weren't going to draft a quarterback. So this is an incredible move by the Miami organization. Yeah, they have the, they still have the first and third.

In 2022 from the 49ers? Correct. And I mean, they're set up Miami over the next couple of years, have multiple first or seconds or thirds, like almost every single year for the next three. On the flip side, the Eagles... Which is not of it will matter if they have the wrong quarterback. That is true. On the flip side, the Eagles moving from 6 to 12, that says that they are not really looking at the quarterback market. They're not counting on that.

Um, so Jalen Hertz is a much higher odds, uh, to be the starting quarterback for 2021. Without question. Yeah. There was some talk that they had interest, um, at six, but wasn't confident, weren't confident that a certain quarterback would drop there. Um, Lawrence. I would take them. Yeah. If he drops, we'll grab them.

We haven't mentioned the T.Y. Hilton signing yet on the show. No. It was breaking news kind of later on the Thursday episode. I just want to make sure we. One year, $10 million contract. Oh, it was breaking on the Thursday show. The Ravens have signed Sammy Watkins, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one year $5 million contract. Which is good because the Ravens have been striking out on wide receivers. Some might say they still did.

Some might say that. And this is, we talked about this a little bit in the office, but this is unfortunately a symptom of you going all in on that offense. You want to be a complete run first team. You want to be a Lamar Jackson led offense, which can absolutely work. But these wide receivers get paid for production. And you have.

And it was like T.Y. Hilton offered more money to go to the Ravens. Who is the other wide receiver? Juju. Juju was offered more money to go to the Ravens. But they were courting Kenny Goliday and everybody. They knew they needed a wide receiver. And everybody said, but these guys know that if you go to Baltimore, your numbers are going to go down. And then when it's time to negotiate your next contract, teams will say, okay, well, show me your numbers. And this is.

This is an issue that Baltimore is going to have to live with, that it's going to be difficult to court an elite free agent wide receiver. You can draft them, but bringing a man, it's going to be tough. So they managed to court one whose numbers couldn't go down. That is correct. With Sammy Watkins. I mean, $5 million for a one-year deal for Sammy Watkins screams a final contract. I'm sorry to say. Maybe. He will be better for them.

but irrelevant for fantasy. Yeah. If you're irrelevant with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, you're probably irrelevant in the smallest pie offense in football. He made so much money in Kansas City. Yeah. I liked that he retweeted the, remember the Jacksonville game? First game of the year last year. Oh, yeah. Three touchdowns? Yes. And he looked, he looked awesome. He retweeted that when somebody said, somebody tweeted,

Sammy Watkins is electric and it was that game. That's the most recent archive he had. He was electric in that game. He was awesome. What was that? Was that channeling a year's worth of electricity into one moment? I mean, I don't know. We all saw it. Made me feel real dumb. Oh, dude. For a game. Because he actually looked great. He made these cuts and had the speed that was outstanding and then poof. But he was unnecessary, right?

Like completely unnecessary. Well, no, he was very necessary because then Tyreek Hill got injured. And it was Sammy Watkins. Oh, thank you. Then it was Sammy Watkins is going to be the best pick in all of fantasy football because he's now the number one wide receiver for Kansas City. And it was just, I forgot about that. Then he was the worst pick because no one wanted to drop him. I had him. And it was like, do you trade Sammy Watkins? Well, first you play him for a few weeks. Then you decide can you trade him? To be fair, I played in week one.

And it was awesome. Yeah. All right, DeMarcus Robinson, Chiefs re-sign him to a one-year deal. Leonard Fournette is resigning with the Buccaneers. It's a one-year deal worth up to $4 million. I was telling these guys before the show. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I don't know if you know this, Brooksie. It's hot. They are returning every offensive and defensive starter from their Super Bowl championship win. That is the first time a team has done that since 1977. So.

They said, this worked. Let's try again. Yeah, I mean, you've got an elder statesman in Brady and an old coach in Bruce Ariens. And they're like, I don't care about future cap problems. We don't like change. Just get everybody here. Let us try to run this back again. Eventually, when it stops working, we're going to bail and leave you with the bill. So the bucks are going to be bad here in a couple of years.

In the meantime, this is awesome for them. They might get a couple of Super Bowls. But Bruce Ariens, Rob Gruncowski, and Tom Brady will all be on a boat somewhere and they won't care at all. Jets signed Kevin Coleman, formerly the 49ers to a one-year contract. Coleman doing his best Sammy Watkins impression, transitioning to a franchise to finish his career. The Michael Piron lives to see the draft. I don't know if anybody lives. Everybody dies in New York. Look, I'm just saying what you would have, the Jets were in play.

They still are. If Aaron Jones had gone. Oh, I see. They were in playing free agency to land one of the big guys or at least make a push. And they landed at Tevin Coleman. And they got Tevin Coleman. I'm with you. I fully expect the Jets to to draft a day two running back. But in the game of dynasty, man, it's all about taking those huge swings and see if they pay off. Matt Breedah, one year deal formerly of the Dolphins now with the Bills, staying in division. Bills were another team that were.

getting links to some of these high-profile running backs. But these don't matter when it comes to the draft. A lot of times people see news like this, Breed of signs, Coleman signs, and they think, oh, well, maybe that means the bills will not look at running back or the Jets won't look at running back in the draft. And the reality is, what this says is they know they need running back, and they don't know how the draft's going to happen yet. So these guys are replaced. I think the bills are less likely today to draft a day two running back now with the addition. It's going to be a tough decision for them.

with all because Josh Allen's about to get paid and you have passable a passable backfield. They've spent a third round pick on a running back two years in a row. That's a lot of draft capital on the running back position. They got to go day one. Good point. All right. Don't do it, Buffalo. Oh, that would be so sad. Free agency winners and losers coming right up. But first, I want to thank.

Was that there last year when we did the show? It was. Okay. Well, it's new to me.

Well, we didn't used to be able to see the graphics during the recording. That's true. So they're all new to us this year. Free agency winners and losers. It's been a busy few weeks in NFL news. And we are breaking down who we think are the biggest winners and losers for fantasy football purposes, right? Yes. And that's the focus for today's segment is who's going to help your fantasy football team.

or hurt it and who was devastated by some of these moves. So Jason, why don't you kick off our free agency winners section right now? So I've got one and a half guys here because I want. One and a half? That's more Ali Cox. You would.

That's right. It's Moley Cox. I was going to go with a CBS sitcom joke, but I like the Moly Cox joke better. No, I'm going to give a shout out here to Brashad Perryman. Because Brashad Perryman, look, you remember the end of the season before last when James Winston, you know, was leading the Bucson. And all of a sudden, last man standing was Brashad Perryman as Godwin and Mike Evans got injured. And all of a sudden, Bashad Perriam was like, I think over that last month, he was the number one wide receiver. He was great.

Obviously, he went to a situation that was terrible, awful, horrific. And now he signs with the Detroit Lions in a situation where he is, I think he's the one. I think he is the number one wide receiver for that team. And Jared Goff is... You're not in on Tyrell the Gazelle? I mean, Tyrell is, he's always been a one-trick pony to me.

And I think Breshad Perman is better than Tyrell. But it's those two guys right now. And Gough is an upgrade. You might not like Gough in general, but he's an upgrade for Perman. So he's won. But I think the biggest winner is actually someone I'm rising on for fantasy purposes that I have been out on. I don't like the player. You didn't put him in the dock because you wanted to surprise us with this. Yes. Is Daniel Jones.

Oh, baby! The more that I think about it, I think Daniel Jones could be a good fantasy quarterback this season. Yes. They went out and they got Kenny Galladay, obviously. They got Kyle Rudolph, which is helpful. Maybe. Yeah, did that go through? I believe it did, but there was a bunch of weird stuff going on with the contract. But Kenny Galladay helps. You know, we saw this last year. Obviously, Stefan Diggs goes to the bills and really makes a difference for Josh Allen.

Kenny Galdi was the best wide receiver on the market, and Daniel Jones gets him. And I think something that is being lost is, we talked about this a little bit, but Daniel Jones is a great mobile quarterback. He has a high rushing total, usually. But what happened last year was he got really injured and then missed a game and then came back for one game and then missed a game and then played a couple games. Up to week 12, he was on pace for 586 rushing yards.

That's a good amount. That's great. And then after that injury, he was averaging six rushing yards a game. He didn't. He was immobilized completely. So I think with his rushing baseline and Kenny Goliday, maybe Kyle Rudolph, I think he's a big winner. I think that he is in a position where that assertation makes sense. But you have to believe either in, you've got to be in or out on Daniel Jones as a player.

Kenny Gallaudy won't make you a better player if you don't, you know, if you're not able to take the next step. So depending on what you believe about Daniel Jones, he can make you a better fantasy player, though. Sure, if he's the quarterback for the whole year. That's the, there have been New York fans and people expecting change at quarterback to come sooner. Now, they'll give him this year. Yeah, but you got to talk to Gettleman.

Well, last year, there were talks of making changes. Oh, man. We haven't had Dave on the show. What about the Perryman? What about the Perryman piece there? Because I think they'll just draft, I think they're going to draft a superstar rookie wide receiver. That's almost assured. So sad for that rookie wide receiver. Um.
