On the six passes thrown by Taysome Hill? No, completions. He's throwing the ball 13 times. I'm no longer going to compare anybody to Mitch because I know what your choice will be. But Teddy Bridgewater could get a deal. Like you said, there are many options out there on free agency right now. Here was some big news. It was rumored last week. Greg Olson, a one-year $7 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks. That is not great news for the ceiling.

Inside the episode
107 passagesof Montana Strong, Will Disley. You want to pour one out for him? If we got a chance to play it, we play it. Big Montana, Will Disley, he's saying, hey, Greg, come be my friend. But for fantasy. You think Greg Olson has anything left to offer? I don't know. Yeah, I do think he has something left to offer. I think he's a decent tight-in right now. He's still...
Quality as far as well-rounded, a decent run blocker. He can go out and catch some passes. I don't think that he is going to be, even with Russell Wilson, and we saw what he was able to do with Disley, even with Hollister. I don't see Greg Olson as being this top eight tight-in anymore, but he's going to go out there and get four or five touchdowns and, you know, 500 yards. Are you factoring in that he plays Arizona twice? Oh, tight-in one. Unless you're having Evan Ingraham.
Those things turn over. And the thing that's strange about Olson going to Seattle for one year, and then you have talk right now about, you know, Jason Witten might not be back with the Cowboys. And he could, he's not talking about retirement either. Like Greg Olson was rumored to go to the broadcast booth. Jason Witten's already been there. But he's talking about maybe playing somewhere else. It would be just very strange to see Olson and Witten with one more kind of.
Sad year. There was a question from Instagram wondering, how do we come up with the big Montana nickname for Will Disley? He's from Montana. He's from Bozeman. Yes. And so he was like their player of the year up there. Yeah. And there's only a few players up there. But he was from Montana. Yeah. And he's big. And he's strong. Like it's not very complicated. Did we come up with that? We did come up with that. Because that auto completes on Google now.
Well, right, because we are. Will Disley, Big Montana auto-completing. No, I'm not kidding. I thought when I auto-completed that maybe we had taken that from like a high school coach nickname or something. No, do you remember what his nickname was? Like he has, he had an official nickname. We rebranded him Big Montana. But without looking it up, do either of you remember? Big Will? It's Uncle Will. Uncle Will. So we improved that name name. You're darn right. We did. I hope he. I still think that there's a potential that he comes back in his.
is a factor in the future, but not next year. He's coming off a torn to kill. He's also basically the first result, or the first or second result, if you search Will Disley Big Montana is a Reddit thread entitled Will Disley, aka Big Montana, Kiyo! Making our mark in the fantasy industry once again. You are welcome, America. Fookland, you are strong. Yes, you are mighty. Undefeated.
The Redskins have exercised Adrian Peterson's 2020 option. He will be back with Washington. This is not a surprise. He was valuable to that team last year, and he, at a minimum, provides great insurance for, you know, the hopeful Darius Geis fans. Yeah, from my understanding, they are looking at working a veteran minimum contract through the year 2030. They believe that he could. For Peterson. For Peterson, he could play into his 50s.
Based on the knowledge I have of his financial situation, he needs a contract through 2030, which is set. Yes. All right. There was a report. Is it worth talking about the Tom Brady report? Larry Fitzgerald Sr., who is a longtime reporter, not generally breaking news. He did report this past week that the Raiders are preparing to offer Brady a two-year $60 million contract. Obviously, anybody can offer Tom Brady a contract. He's a free agent.
And I think people will. I mean, if they're interested, that's the starting point. I mean, two years, 60 million, that's not an outlandish contract. That's like, what did you just say about Teddy Bridgewater? Like 30 million a year? You want Teddy Bridgewater or Tom Brady even at this age? I think it's the years that will be the interesting part for the Brady signing because it leverages the Patriots. It puts them in a tough position where do you give them a two-year guaranteed contract for a player of that age?
They don't get to go year to year, is all I'm saying. When you're 42 and a half, two years, that's a risky business. It is. The Cardinals, it's been reported that they do want to keep Kenyon Drake.
The franchise tag would be an option. I don't believe that report. I don't either. I was going to say this is this is something where you throw out a comment of like maybe they could franchise tag them and then it's being reported. Oh, that could be an option. That is.
It's virtually an impossibility, just roster construction-wise money that's already invested in David Johnson. Maybe if they were able to find someone to take on the salary, then that could be an option. In the meantime, while they said they're not going to cut David Johnson, it would literally cost them more money if they cut him than if they keep him. So there's no way that they cut him, and I agree, they're not franchising kid you, Drake. But the point is they want Drake. They want to sign him and have him be a cardinal.
Absolutely. And then good news, Big Ben, expected to be ready for week one. At least that's what Mike Tomlin said on ESPN's first take. There was a report also about the Jaguar's not a lock to pick up Leonard Fournett's fifth-year option. That's a $10.1 million hit. I mean, that's a lot of money. Yeah, it makes sense. And there's no dead cap hit with him, right? They can just let him go.
Yes, that situation. When they changed the contract back when he was suspended by Tom Coughlin, his guaranteed money went away. Yeah, I think if they were to try to get rid of the guarantee, like actually capitalize on no guaranteed, the NFLPA would come after him. But he'll be back this year. Yeah. Doesn't make sense to let him go. Ron Rivera confirms Jordan Reed.
remains in the concussion protocol. Good grief, man. That's not the kind of report that you're used to seeing in February, but Jordan Reed has had just a storied history of concussion issues. I don't understand why he would want to risk playing again, much less the Redskins take another shot on it. I hope he remains in the league's concussion protocol.
next February as well and forever and never is allowed to play football again for his own sake. We loved Jordan Reed, Rule 86. He is awesome. He's in the Hall of Fame. He's 29 years old. He's 29. But no, he should not, you know, you have that many of the injuries. You call it a career. All right. Any other bits of news that you guys want to talk about? Nope. We good to get into the mailbag? Mm-hmm. Let's do it.
Mailbag. All right, we have some voicemail questions today as well. You can send your questions in 302464 TFFB. You can also submit them on the website, the Fantasy Footballers.com. Just click the submit a question button. We want to help you out. Let's jump into a voicemail. Hey, Ballers. This is Jacob out in Vegas. If you had to write, produce, and sing on a duet album with any current NFL player, who would it be and why?
Thanks, man. Hard hitting. This is easy for me. Oh, it's easy. It's very easy. There's three players that come to mind. Two are absolute nose. Okay. I'm not, look, I've seen enough of Love Bell and Antonio Brown's musical prowess and, I don't know, stick to football. Right. But their former teammate, Juju.
Oh, come on. Me and Juju would... It would be excellent. Look, they made a movie called The Star is Born about a team. A duet. A duet. And that would be me and my man, Juju. Are you Lady Gaga in that situation? You're darn right, I am. Okay. I can't pull off the Bradley Cooper. That's got to be Juju. Well, I think clearly my choice has been brought forth in the last couple of days. I didn't realize this man was such a lyricist. But...
Look, me and Stefan Diggs, we could take care of the thing. Life's too short, man. That's a great call. Can we go, we can go with that one. Always got an ace up my sleeve for whatever was dealt. That's another good line. Are these just, like, song titles that he's thrown out? Things getting interesting. Oh, yeah, these are his tweets. Oh, I thought this was the track list. Maybe this is his album. That's what it is. Everybody go through something. It's all about perseverance. Everybody's thinking he's vague booking. No. He's, he's.
promoting his future album. The new everything that was done in the dark is about to come to light. I'm going to love that track. There's a lot of talk about Stefan Diggs getting traded, guys. Yeah, apparently he've removed all the Vikings stuff from his Instagram because this is how we handle things as adults now. He's still got Vikings things on Twitter, though. He means there's a hope. He hasn't wiped at all clean. If Stefan Diggs was traded, I'm just throwing this out there right now, I will be way too high on Adam Thielen.
And by that, I mean, I will be appropriately high. It's fair. I'll be all in. To answer the question for me, though, I'm going with JJ Watt because he's got star power. I think he can bring people in. Interesting. They're going to listen, but I'm going to look awesome because he's going to be on that track and he's going to look, he'll be so terrible of whatever. Oh, like dancing. Just whatever, anything of music, I can't imagine that J.J. Watt has musical abilities. And so I'm just trying to look good. You might look.
less buff though. Yeah. Well, look, I'll look 10% less buff. I get it. He's a little bit stronger than me. Here's the thing about that, though. Little bit. What NFL player is going to make us not look less buff? I've, kickers. Kickers. What? Oh, some of them. Like, uh, he's retired now. All the kickers that were just the one single face mask. Does anybody do that anymore? Neil Rikers. Tom Tupa? Yeah.
Going back to the 90s. All right, we have another voicemail question. What up, Ballers? This is Daniel from Cleveland, Ohio. I want to know who you'd rather own in a Dynasty League right now. Odell or DJ Moore? Wow. Got up to my friend Justin who just got engaged. Congratulations. Yeah, that's awesome. It's Odell Beckham, and it's not close for me. The DJ Moore breakout, I believe 100% it was real.
I loved, loved him coming out of college. Didn't so much love the landing spot. You do have a retooling, but man, 135 targets, almost 1,200 yards last year. 22 years old. So DJ Moore is five years younger than O'Dell Beckham, who just basically played most of the season and wasn't very good. Obviously, you've got the...
surgery that O'Dell Beckham. Did he get that already? He was saying you should have got it through the year. Obviously struggles with Baker Mayfield. I had a question come in very, very, very similar of O'Dell Beckham versus Juju and saying, who do you want in Dynasty? It's a really tough question for me because O'Dell Beckham carries an enormous name. But is he going to get back to?
That name production wise. He's only 27 years old, which for a wide receiver is still young. And I think you're not going to go wrong either way. If I had to pick here, I would probably order them. I would take O'Dell over D.J. Moore. But it is very close for me. This year in redraft, would you rather have DJ Moore or O'Dell at this point? I mean, we're very early. Because of the quarterback situation for Carolina, I will take O'Dell Beckham. I agree.
Yeah, I agree. Dynasty trade question from Iiani in New York. Would you trade Ezekiel Elliott for Josh Jacobs in the first pick in the 2020 rookie draft in a dynasty league? Or would you ask for more? Thanks, love the podcast. Wait, you can trade Zeke. You can get Jacobs and the number one pick? And the number one pick. Yeah, easy. Smash. That's a big yes. I wish I had a button.
Yeah, it's an easy yes for me as well. I love Zeke as far as, you know, he's got the body type where I think he's going to have a longer career for a running back. But we think that. But he's still a running back. And though they fall off a cliff quick, you can replace him with the first pick of the 2020 draft or Josh Jacobs. All right. Ross, from the UK has a question for us. Bonjour.
