NFL Reporter Dianna Russini, Russ Wilson Cut, Jason Kelce Retires And Listener Submitted Takes

The Russell Wilson trade is one of the worst in sports history

Russell Wilson's trade, when looking back on it, the Broncos gave up two first round picks... two second round picks a fifth round pick Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant. And they got back Russell Wilson in a fourth round pick. And then they signed Russell Wilson to a $242 million contract. And he played for the Broncos for two terrible years. And yeah, I think it might be one of the worst trades in sports history.

Russell Wilson will start at least 18 more games in the NFL

I think you asked me at the end of the season, like over under Russ Wilson starts 16 or 17 and a half more games. Yeah. I still take the over on it. I think that there's gonna be a team out there that's gonna sign him to be a starting quarterback next season.

Kirk Cousins is the first major domino of the NFL quarterback carousel

If we're doing dominoes, if we're talking about quarterback dominoes? Yeah. Because there's like three big domino pieces. What is the first domino? Kirk Cousins, who reportedly is thinking about moving to Atlanta.

Jason Kelce's retirement is a major problem for the Eagles' locker room

He was Philadelphia. Like he is the most Philadelphia athlete I think that there's ever been... And I think that like him being gone is a real problem for the locker room. Like he was the leader for so long.

Randy Moss is the 10th best Patriot of all time

Number 10? Randy Moss. Yeah. Only, only player on this list to not win a Super Bowl. But he was, he was that good, that exciting record breaker... When he came to the Patriots, they got him for nothing.

Winning a Super Bowl with a 'cursed' franchise earns a coach much more longevity than winning with a blue blood

It's also a great lesson that if you can win a Super Bowl with a franchise that everyone assumed was never gonna win a Super Bowl, you do get way more grace than if you win a Super Bowl with, you know, the Cowboys or the Steelers or the Packers.

Anthony Edwards missing the tip-off is a sign the Timberwolves aren't ready to win a title

Anthony Edwards lost track of time and he missed the tipoff of the Timberwolves game... This is the kind of thing that you point to when it's like, yeah, the Timberwolves are good, but your star player lost track of time.

The Bears will move on Justin Fields very soon

I think Chicago's gonna get moving on this for sure with Fields. Yeah. I've been stalking their people all week... I'm expecting definitely some action there.

Kirk Cousins to Washington would be a good move for both sides

Kirk Cousins is really the story of all of this right now... Kirk going back to Washington. I mean, that would be, I actually think that would be a really good move. Just based on talking to them this week... You bring in a guy who A, knows the city, but B, understands a winning culture.

The 'Patriot Way' was actually just having Tom Brady

I think they finally realized that the Patriot way is just having Tom Brady on your team... my counterpoint to that would be if the Patriots decided to answer all the questions and be like gregarious with the media, it wouldn't matter. 'Cause they still have Tom Brady.

The Patriots are targeting a quarterback and a top-tier receiver in the draft or free agency

I think the Patriots are obviously exploring the quarterback market, both free agents and draft... they're also in for a stud receiver, I can tell you that. So that could mean through the draft and bring on a veteran.

NFL teams will invest much more in backup quarterbacks this season

I think if there's a, any position that we'll probably see better business would be backup quarterbacks. Especially after last year, we saw so many teams struggle by not investing in it. That was the story of the year. Right? Invest in a backup quarterback.
