Cool, cool. Or just laugh hysterically when John Brown is a better receiver than Ryan Grant. John Brown just has the health concern. Yeah, I think if John Brown was fully healthy, he's a better receiver. But Joe Flacco historically has really hyper-targeted his lead guy, and I just don't see a lead guy to hyper-target here. Well, the good news, at least the sane news coming out of Baltimore, they did tender Alex Collins, who was an exclusive rights-free agent, who was, he was great.

55:26 ↗

for them. And it just the silence out of Baltimore on their decision of Alex Collins was baffling. I mean, how do you not pick that up right away? But thankfully they picked him up. Alex Collins should be the lead guy. You do have the Kenneth Dixon situation going on behind him. But Colin should start the year as the start. Yes. I would still put my chips on Collins. And I think that he is good enough to hold on to the starting. No Danny Woodhead. Yeah, correct. No Danny Woodhead in Baltimore. He's been released.

55:56 ↗

As has Jeremy Macklin. Danny Woodhead. Over under 10 days to sign in New England. I'll take the over. Yeah. Okay. I think he will go back to New England. Do you? I do. All right. Albert Wilson and Danny Mandola doing their best impression of the Ravens as the dolphins pick up a couple of middling wide receivers. Maybe that's disrespectful. Three years, $24 million for Albert Wilson, who had 54, 52 receptions last year in Kansas City and Danny Mandola.

56:26 ↗

Would you rather have Jarvis Landry? It was 42 for Albert Wilson. Okay. Sorry to give him 10 extra. Albert Wilson, Danny Mandela, wouldn't you rather have Jarvis Landry than both those guys? Yeah. Oh, certainly. But there's a cost to it. Yeah, I know. You didn't want to commit. But Danny and Madolla is 32 years old. Not a lot to see there, I think. The Amandola signing is so bizarre coming after the signing of Albert Wilson. There is an absolute log jam of wide receivers.

56:54 ↗

perhaps Danny Amandola takes over the Jarvis Landry role in that offense because he would be the, he should be the slot wide receiver. Of course, the hit points of Danny Amandola will drain quickly. They will unfortunately run out quickly. I don't, I have no idea. I have no idea what Miami is doing. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned now, and I'm sorry, Dolphins fans, you're a top, I mean, you're a bottom five team in the NFL.

57:23 ↗

Yeah. You've lost massive amounts of talent on both sides of the ball over the last two years after you made the playoffs. Ndama Kamu is now out the door. And I don't see a lot I like. I don't think you have anything that is prototypically elite in fantasy. You don't have a number one wide receiver that I'm excited about. You don't have a number one running back I'm excited about. Well, if Kenyon Drake is alone.

57:51 ↗

So to speak. He won't be. They're looking at running backs left, right and center. I mean, what they've already done shows that they will be adding not just an insignificant running back for depth. They're going to bring in someone to compete for that starting job. The Lions have released. Jason. Jason's dear friend. No, Jason. I was so pissed. Good friend Eric Ebron. Well, you're all right, Jay?

58:22 ↗

I'm all right, but he's going to end up signing at whatever the worst place is. And, and come on, Packers fans have to be mourning with me, right, that you got Jimmy Graham for three years, $30 million when you could have got a 24-year-old Eric Ebron for probably far less money. You're on fire today, man. Yeah.

58:45 ↗

Oh, on fire. All right. Unsigned players that will most likely report on next week. AJ McCarran is still unsigned to Marco Murray, Doug Martin, Frank Gore. Those are players still out there. Jordan Nelson's searching for a team. Jordan Matthews, surprise, surprise, still available. Terrell Pryor, you're out there. Yes, J. Yes, J. Possibly visiting the Saints. No, no, that's the only place Eric Ebron is allowed to sign. He's up in Seattle. Tyler Eifer. As far as I know.

59:14 ↗

I wanted to stop you real quick. All right. Because the coach that you love. Oh, Hugh Jackson. He wanted to send a second and third round pick for a quarterback who remains unsigned. You're talking about AJ McCarrant? I'm talking about AJ McCarran. You're saying last year he wanted to. Yes. Yeah. What do you have to say about this, Andy? I'm fine. Fine. You needed a quarterback. You guys love Kaiser. I didn't love Kaiser. McCarran's twice the Kaiser. Kaiser is. Wait. I doubt it. Yeah, he's unsigned right now.

59:45 ↗

He's probably looking. He's probably wishing. He's crossing those fingers for Buffalo. And wishing. But he's going to end up as a backup somewhere. It does seem that way. It does seem that way. Although maybe he'll be in a situation like Miami where it's two guys fighting for a starting job. And if he wins it in camp, he'll get it. But that's what you're looking. You're a quarterback. You're going to get paid something pretty nice. If I was him, I would just not sign with anybody.

60:13 ↗

I would wait until the inevitable injury a la Ryan Tannahill and then say, I'll start. Wait, skipping OTAs? It sounds like you. Yeah. All right. And we have some updated news here from Judge Giamatti. The Seahawks is this. So they did not tender either of these players, Brooks. Am I reading that correctly? No, Rawls is a free agent. So Rawls and Mike Davis are they did not get tendered. For those of you like myself who own.

60:43 ↗

DeMarco Murray. You're just trying to squeeze. We just want to squeeze another year of value out of him. Just ring it out. In Dynasty, if he lands in Seattle, I'd be mighty happy. Can catch the ball. You need to be in a place, DeMarco, where you can both run and catch so that you can combine to become an average. That's what I want. 250 rushing yards, 250 receiving yards. DeMarco Murray.
