Fantasy Football 2018 - Free Agent Predictions & Combine Reactions

needs another piece to the puzzle. They've got Shady, obviously, but they don't have anything behind Shady that is capable enough right now, and they've got the money for them. Okay. Interesting fit. Couple quick ones. Legerrett Blunt, I got him going back to Tampa Bay. Jason, what do you have? Tampa Bay. I like it. I think he goes back to the Patriots. Oh, that'd be fun. That makes sense. If you're not going to pay, see, that's the thing. If you're not going to pay Dion.

And you're not going to play Burkhead. That's why I don't see them paying Isaiah Crowell. I feel like you'd rather have the burden of hand with Dionne Lewis if you're going to pay. I think Blunt will be cheap, one-year deal. That's interesting. It's the same situation. I'm switching. I love it. He'll go, because he'll lumber around. He will not get paid. Right. No one's going to pay a 31-year-old Lagart Blunt right now, even though he was fine. He had a very solid season. He was great. But go back.

And then Mike wants to put Jeremy Hill somewhere. I don't care about Jeremy Hill. Well, after I had put Legeriblant to New England, I don't know where to put Jeremy Hill. It's funny because I look at those two guys for Jeremy Hill. The same thing. They're the bruising goal line back. One sucks. The other is just really old. So who's going to sign him? Yeah, I've got him going to Dallas. I love it. You know, you've got Rod Smith.

and Zeke, they need another piece there. And behind that offensive line, they might think, you know what, we can resurrect Jeremy Hill to the, you know, the superstar. Jeremy Hill's 25 and much like Jordan Matthews, done. There you go. All right, let's move on. Tight end. Oh, the tight end. I heard 16 teams are currently interested in Trey Burton. Oh, I heard 17. People are going cuckoo.

For Boo Boo. For Trey Boo Boo. Oh, gosh. Jeremy. Jeremy Graham. Yeah, Jimmy Graham. Let's start there. 31 years old, free agent, not returning to Seattle. Mike and I, we got them in the same spot. Why don't you go ahead and take this one, Mike? I got the market not being what people think that it will be because they actually watched Jimmy Graham play football. Fantastic at catching touchdowns when they're very close. But otherwise.

I belong. Lumbering, not a good blocker. I have them going back to the New Orleans Saints. I can absolutely see that happen. I think that makes a lot of sense. I've got Houston, despite C.J. Fedorowitz saying, hey, I could play again. They need a tight end. They've needed one for a long time. They've got plenty of cap room. I like that. So there you go. Tyler Eifer, 27 years old, one of those guys that, is he done? Is he not done? If you want my opinion on that.

And we do. The world is waiting. Mr. Is he done? Not done. Oh, I agree with you. It's just matter of injured or not injured. He's never looked done. He's just, yeah, I see what you're saying. Whereas Jordan Matthews was very productive, though, and he wasn't injured. I like Tyler. Tyler, Tyler, for 10 games in the last two seasons. Not done, not done. Not done. Jacksonville. Jacksonville gives him a contract. He's a complimentary piece to Blake.

the snake and company. What's so funny is you went with Jacksonville. I went with Miami just because I don't disagree with Jacksonville. It just seems like something that team would do. Miami is going to give Ivert money and not know what to do. When you're Miami, you have a certain budget for a tight end. For mistakes. That you don't, you're not going to get anything from. And so Julius Thomas's money is freed up. It's time to move on to Eifford. Is that what you're saying? Yep. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Look, he came in and took over for Jermaine Gresham once in Cincinnati. I think he's going to do it again in Arizona. This one is baffling to me. Germain Gresham injured in the last game of the season. So I think the Arizona Cardinals despite Ricky Seals Jones. We'll replace him with Tyler Eifert. Well, you're going to get wherever he goes, he's going to get a one year prove it deal or maybe a two year, you know, where the second year is a team option. But it's going to be a prove it deal. Arizona doesn't have a lot of money, but they need to upgrade their tight end.

They do. There's a, there's a situation. Let's talk about Trey. Trey Burton. Trey Burton. Welcome to Chicago, Trey. You're going to get paid and you're going to get paid by Chicago. What about Shaheen? Yeah, Shaheen is a piece. Shaheen, the dream. Yeah, Adam Shaheen's a piece. He's not a superstar. Trey Burton has that. He has top eight fantasy and real life potential as a past catcher.

as a weapon for Trubisky and Nagy. I think he fits that scheme. I love him in Chicago. Yeah. Speaking of teams wanting to upgrade at the tight-in position, Cincinnati letting Tyler Eifford leave has said they want to upgrade. And if you want to upgrade, I think Trey Burton is the best free agent out there. So I have him going to Cincinnati to complete that little changeover. And I'm going to a team with Historic. Historic.

occasionally historic tight ends from uh dennis pitta the one hip quitta benjamin watson this past year todd heap we we know what you're going back we know what joe flacco yeah i just threw tod deep out yeah you really did i had i had to back up my historic claims okay we know and the nflacco knows what what joe flaco can do with a with a very athletic tight end and the baltimore ravens do not have one

right now. So I think that they will pay up for Tray Burton. That could be part of that revamp past catching core. Yes. ASJ, 25 years old, resurgent year in New York. This is the most boring pick on the show. Yeah, we all took New York. There's rumors out that they've, you know, it already looks like they might resign him to a two-year deal. And here's the thing. New York Jets, if you sign.

or I should say re-signed. Austin Safarian Jenkins, please let him run down the field. Seriously? The guy is a beast of a man. Donk. Stop it with that crap. The two yards let him run free. Got him on blast. And throw the ball deep to Austin Safarian Jenkins. And you know what? Good things will happen. Ridiciest. Quarterbacks. Well, part of that equation is going to be who they end up with that quarterback. And what that.

a player can do with their tight-in and the past catching options that they have. So let's see who we have going to New York. Let's start with Kirk Cousins. Now, there was a report this morning, a couple of them that Kirk Cousins, maybe down to two teams, the Vikings and the Jets. Matt Miller from Bleacher Report was reporting from the comment. He's hearing it's down to the Vikings or the Jets. And then there were also...

contradictory reports saying it's way too early and Denver's still in play. And Adam Schefter had talked about four teams. The Vikings, Broncos, Jets, and Cardinals still vying for Kirk Cousins. You have Paul Chartian who's very connected in the industry saying from what he hears, Minnesota is going to happen. Yeah. Yeah, he's up there in Minnesota too. So I think Minnesota is the destination. And I think I'm basing that on.

his opportunity to win and the way that Minnesota has handled Bridgewater and Keenom in the free agent period. I feel like maybe there's been an understanding there for a while. And now that you're hearing more validation, I had originally thought Denver, now I'm going to go with Minnesota firmly. And it looks like you guys are on board with me. Yes, we are on board with you. No, I do think Minnesota is going to be where he ends up. All the pieces.

It just makes sense when you talk about money, team, everything that he needs, you know, playing in a dome versus going and playing, you know, eight home games in New York and a, you know, cold weather. I see Minnesota. And you're in the Patriots Division. I understand. I understand that money talks. But you're talking about a team that was one game away from the Super Bowl and they want you to come be their quarterback.

The guys, in the past two years, how much money is Kirk Cousins made? Almost $50 million? And like I said, I understand that when all of a sudden the Jets are offering you maybe $15 million more than anyone else. But if you want to win, no quarterback has seen a situation like this that I can recall. Maybe Manning from the Broncos, but even that I don't know if was as plush.

as looking as the job for the Minnesota Vikings. Great wide out. Diggs Adam Thielen. What do you have to? Kyle Rudolph. What does anyone else have to offer that the Vikings cannot give right now? I can tell you. The Arizona Cardinals can offer Mike the fantasy hitman, right? Andy Holloway and Jason Moore as best friends. Yes. Jason, thank you for bringing that up. There you go. Kurt Cousins.

This is the final plea from your number one super fan. Mike, right. I will be your... Oh, dear diary. I will be your best friend. You got boots that need shining? I got two thumbs and I got real good shining action. You need me to pick up your groceries? I will do that, Kirk Cousins. I will be...

It rains here very infrequently. You'll hold the umbrella. I will hold your umbrella. I will open your car door. You can hold the umbrella in the summer for shade. It's limitless. What I can do for you, Kurt Cousins, so Minnesota. Yeah. All right. Case Keenum. I'm on board with you, Mike, on this one. You have them going to Denver. Yeah, it's a matter of they get the leftovers. Oh, man. I actually love that pick. I...

I have Case Keenum coming to Arizona. But Denver, if I was case, I would go to Denver. Sometimes the leftovers taste better than what you had, though. Sometimes you weren't eating at all. See, here's the thing. You'd rather have the leftovers. Here's the thing that is great about leftovers. You're saving money always. You're always saving money when you eat your leftovers because you're not having to spend again. Honestly, there's very few foods that actually taste good when they're reheated, though.

There are a lot of foods that taste great. Stop. Pretty much all of them. You don't reheat. You go fridge directly into faces. I really do. You're right. Cold pizza. Love it. Chicken wings? Give them to me cold. Steak? I don't care. Temperature is no object. No. That's true. It's not an object. It's a property. Sammy Biscuits. I got him going to Arizona. I think he'll be the veteran to...

combo with the rookie that the Cardinals end up drafting, whomever that might be, I don't know, but I've got him in Arizona, Sammy Biscuits for a game or two. Jason and I were talking about this over lunch that. That's San Bradford, by the way. If Arizona were to offer Sam Bradford the one to two year deal, is that okay? I don't know. I don't know if that's the right move for Arizona.

giving who can they actually draft this year in the first round. Actually, we can know whether or not that's a good move. Andy is Sam Bradford's career over. We forgot the magic eight ball on the show. Is Sam Bradford's career over? Is he done, as you put it? Probably. Oh, no. Well, in that case, if it's a mistake to sign him, I've got him going to the right place. Is this helpful to have a crystal ball here? Yeah, the Cleveland Browns. It could be. You know.

Sam Bradford, as seen when Carson Wentz came into town in Philadelphia, does not want to go to a place where he's going to have someone nipping at his heels, but I don't think he's going to be able to avoid that. Any team signing Sam Bradford has to have a backup quarterback in place to play when he gets injured. So I think Cleveland would be a great spot. You bring him in and say, hey, here's a legitimate good quarterback that we can actually put on the Cleveland Browns and draft someone, put him behind.

And we can actually put on the Cleveland Brown. The team that I foreshadow will pick up Sam Bradford actually has a starting quarterback. And that's the Buffalo Bills. I think it's a good fit too. They don't want Tyrod Taylor. They are stuck with Tyrod Taylor. So I think that you bring in someone like Sam Bradford for he won't be overly priced, let him compete. And then you just as the management of the team hope that he takes the job from Taylor. All right. Let's move on to Teddy.

Bridgewater, 25 years old still. Whoa, we agree on this? We do. I actually had this down when I posted that graphic a couple weeks ago. That's true, you did. I had Teddy Bridgewater going to the Jets. Mike, you agree. The Jets are the right home. And then there was a report. Speaking of leftovers. Yeah, there was a report this morning that the McCown Bridgewater combo may be what Jets fans have to look forward to if they pass or miss on Kirk Cousins.

Yeah, I really like that spot. I'm going to throw out a different name because we're always assuming these guys are going to go and be the starter, but he might not have the opportunity to come in and be the starter. This is interesting. So I've got him going to the New York Giants as a backup to Eli and possible successor. It's not a bad career plan for Teddy Bridgewater. Eli got benched.
