We got a toss a coin into the wishing well at the top of the show. Make some free agency. I guess they're not even predictions, right? They're just wishes.

That's why we theme our segments. Yeah. Real deft, real special. Join thefoot.com's the community. And I guess we'll save the excitement for the news segment. And instead, we'll start here. The Wishing Well. What do you most want to see happen in free agency? We have our full preview and predictions next week.

NFL free agency set to start very, very soon. But give me your best case scenario for a certain player, certain team. Well, what do I want personally then? And if you're talking about Mike Wright, I want improvements from my own dynasty team. And for me, that means Aaron Jones to simply sign somewhere else. Go make so much money.

Mr. Jones and free. It says nothing to do with Aaron Jones. No, nothing. Look, Aaron Jones, great guy. Been good for fantasy football. Everything I hear about him. But I had, I drafted AJ Dillon in last year's rookie draft. So I would very much like to see what his quads get done. You just want him out of Green Bay. But what do you think is his best landing spot? The best landing spot. For Jones, it's Miami for me. Yeah, I agree. Look, for me, I, I.

I want James Winston to come back to starting NFL quarterback level. It's great for fantasy. And I want him going to the Denver Broncos. We've talked about this before, but no offense, Corlin Sutton, Jerry Judy, these are three players I like that I do not want any part of. You don't want this. I do want. No, you don't. There's no one more irresponsible.

Then Drew Locke, oh wait, there's James Winston. Yeah, but what does that matter? I don't care that the Broncos win games. They can go, oh, win 16. I just want the fantasy points. And when he was a buccaneer, I mean, you had Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Drew Locke is in training to become James Winston. That's his actual pattern. Look, you let Drew Locke know you're showing up at the airport. He just doesn't show up. James gets there.

Look, Eli, he's like an hour late, wrong side of the airport. But he at least gets there eventually. Good things still happen when James Winston. I just think you can want more for your Broncos past catching weapons to James Winston. But, I mean, this is free agency. What, what, so you could, the only other name you could throw out there would be Ryan Fitzpatrick. But I want more for Ryan Fitzpatrick. I want, I want him to go to the Washington football team and win. I want him to go into the playoffs.

and, you know, have a good team over there. All right. I'm going to help you out, Jason, because I know there's only one thing you want more than apparently James Winston to the Denver Broncos this offseason. Do tell. And that is you want Jalen Hertz to be all that he can be. You want to see that completion percentage creep up into the mid-50s. MVP. MVP. MVP.

I can't do that. This is why it's troubling that we have the show we have because if I didn't dislike Jan Hertz, he wouldn't like him this much. I don't think that's true. I know that's true. Chris Godwin to Philadelphia. Thank you. I'll say Chris Godwin to Philadelphia. This is perfect for a couple of reasons. One, it gets a very reliable security blanket for Janlon Hertz. Two, it puts Chris Godwin in the position where he isn't.

completely unrivaled number one option for a team. That is hard to come by when you are heading into free agency in general. It's an opportunity for Godwin to be drafted highly in fantasy and provide the kind of weapon that Jalen Hertz is going to need to be consistent, both for fantasy and for NFL purposes. So I think Godwin to Philly would be interesting. I'm going to throw one last wish out there because this one is actually, this is just,

This is as altruistic as you get because I have no skin in this game. I think this is just a wish that all NFL fans should root for. Alan Robinson gets a competent quarterback. I don't know where it is, but just somewhere where he doesn't play with a steaming pile of crap throwing him the ball like he has done since college. Question. Yeah.

May I have the floor? Would James Winston satisfy you in that or not? Yes, because he's competent. Okay, all right. There we go. Okay. Because then Alan Robinson could stay right where he is, re-signed with the Bears, and then Winston could come in. Sure. That could happen. Yeah. Every time that I want to insult the Winston side of things, I will get the productive numbers of fantasy, but I don't know if it was very enjoyable.

If you had Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. No, I mean, if you were Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. Like Alan Robinson needs the ball in his catch radius. That's an area where Winston struggles at times. 5,000 yards. Oh, I know. That's why, you know, they wanted him back so badly. I mean, in Tampa.

It's really all about those interceptions because that's what helps him throw 5,000 yards. And I hope they don't go away wherever he lands. Well, it was Bruce Ariens too. Like James Winston's going to land somewhere, potentially as a starter at some point in time. He's not going to be with Bruce Ariens again. So I don't think 5,000 yards and the willy nilly, what was it, 30 interceptions? Yes, correct. I wish that was just, I should have a button that just, that is what it says every time you say something good about him.

It's crazy, man. He completed almost 61% of his passes, had over 5,100 yards, 33 touchdowns. But he had 30 interceptions. Yeah, and I wonder how many of those were coming back from huge deficits playing soft defenses. Absolutely. No, a competent quarterback for Alan Robinson. See, I like that wish, but I always, I want to believe that a wish is possible. Oh.

You know, when you're blown out the candles on the birthday cake, you want it to be possible that it comes true. And he seems destined for, I mean, he'll probably resign. No, don't do it. He'll probably take the money, re-sign in Chicago. Don't do it, Alan. How can they let him go? I feel like if you let Alan Robinson go in Chicago, you are rebuilding. And they're not going to rebuild in Chicago. He could very well end up on a franchise tag.

A lot of these big name wide receivers, they've all been thrown out there with the franchise tag opportunity because it's like for the lions, for the bears, if they lose their number one, they are, they're running on empty at wide receiver. You're asking how can you let him go? They already screwed up. Like you should have re-signed him already. Like during the season, you should have given Alan Robinson a contract. Well, he was asking for that. Dude, you're right. That's not.

It didn't happen, and we'll see where he goes. All right, it's March, so this segment's more fun. News and notes from around the league. Look, this is great. Mike alluded to some DST news, and we don't, you know, we don't cover a lot of DST news. I know who's number one on my board now. The Cardinals are giving JJ Watt a two-year deal. What this happens? Thank you, Houston.

And we didn't even have to trade. They just let him go. Oh, man, because we destroyed that franchise by trading David Johnson, we got a twofer. I mean, like, if we don't do that trade last year, no way we get JJ Watt. But, yeah, but he's washed, Jason. But guys, he's washed. Yeah. No, he's not. That is factually inaccurate. Number one most double team player in the NFL last year.

Right, yes. Number nine on PFF's past rushing ranking. Tide for second for tackles for a loss. He's not the best defensive player in the NFL anymore. No, certainly not. But he's not bad. Well, it came out of nowhere, again, just like last year's Hopkins trade, where Arizona was not even rumored as a destination for JJ Watt. But now the Cardinals have the number one and number two edge rushers in terms of total sacks since 2012. So that'll work.

That's great. Peter King reporting the NFL is highly likely to have a 17 game regular season in 2021. This is the first year according to this new collective bargaining agreement that they're able to add the 17th game. The sources reporting on this are in fact the NFL's bank account. Highly likely to happen.

It is allowed. It is not a guarantee. It's not official yet that there will be a 17-week season. But from my understanding, they will make more money with more games. The extra game will be an inter-conference matchup. The AFC likely to get the extra home game in 21, and then they will alternate. So the NFL will not only add a game, but they'll make something out of it as a unique kind of... Sounds fun to me. ...situation.

Be new for fantasy football players, too. Russell Wilson's agent says he has not requested a trade, but if he were dealt, he would wave as no trade clause for the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders, or Bears are getting me out of here. I'm not saying like I want a trade. I'm just saying like the Cowboys, the Saints, the Raiders, the Bears, it'd be great. Just saying if they send a trade offer over.

I'll say yes. I mean, this is unlimited. The options, I mean, I asked the question on Twitter, which some people took issue with, but the idea of, you know, is it good for the NFL if Russ cooks elsewhere or Russ stays put? And 65% would like him to cook elsewhere. Okay. I think chaos is interesting. And Russ leaving.

Seattle, after winning every single year, is interesting. Yes. It would be a great narrative, awesome to just see. And it's one of those science experiments, right? We had this last season with Tom Brady. Is it Belichick? Is it Brady? You know, and there's more nuance to it, but obviously Brady won. The battle. Belichick is the most overrated head coach of all time now. That's been scientifically proven by what Brady did. But if...
