Adam SchefterThis phone in my hand is the one I used to tweet that Miles Garrett committed assault
I really believe that this is the assault phone. It would be my honor to give you this phone... You can hang it on the wall.
Adam SchefterMiles Garrett will cost at least two first-round picks if the Browns trade him
If you go back and look at what the Bears gave up for Khalil Mack, it was two firsts. It was a third, a fifth... To me that's the most fair comp there is out there right now.
Adam SchefterBrock Purdy's next contract might not reach Dak Prescott's numbers
Is it gonna be the Dak Prescott contract? It's not, I don't expect it to be. Is it gonna be a fair contract? I would think it would be. They have to pay him... But if Brock Purdy doesn't like that deal, I don't know how far the Niners can go. And then the Niners can just say, okay, guess what? We have your rights this year for 5 million. We could franchise tag you next year.
Adam SchefterThe NFL will eventually sell a 12 to 16-game international broadcast package
They get to an 18 game schedule and then the league can take a 12, 14, 16 game international package and sell that... I think that's where it's gonna go.
Adam SchefterMatthew Stafford's next team will be either the Giants, Rams, or Raiders
I really don't know right now because it's kind of a coin flip kind of thing... [The Giants, Rams, and Raiders] those are the three scenarios that make sense.
Adam SchefterAaron Rodgers will definitely play in 2025 with a chip on his shoulder
I think he's gonna play, he's gonna play and I think he has something to prove in his own mind and think there's gonna be a chip on his shoulder.
Adam SchefterThe Browns will draft a quarterback with their first pick in the 2025 Draft
To me, they have to draft a quarterback with their first pick... I predict it'll be a quarterback period. I think they have to do a quarterback. They're that high, they're that financially strapped with Deshaun Watson, there's that much of a need.
Adam SchefterI will be the governing owner of Jerry O'Connell's fantasy football team in name only
Governing owner in name only? That sounds fair to me... Blame me [if he is fired]. Everybody else does.
Adam SchefterDaniel Jones will be a starting quarterback in the NFL in September
Yes [he will be a starter]. In fact, I've actually had his name come up with head coaches I've spoken to... I think there's a market for him.
Adam SchefterThe 49ers will trade Deebo Samuel rather than releasing him
I think the 49ers are gonna be able to trade him... I know that I've seen it out there that the Niners would have to release him... I don't agree with that. I think they're gonna be able to trade him.
Adam SchefterThe Rams will hope to trade Cooper Kupp this offseason
I think the Rams are gonna hope to trade him... He's gonna have a new home. Yeah. He's gonna have suitors, he's gonna have interest. The question is what is the price gonna be?
Adam SchefterJaden Daniels is a special player who will cover up the Commanders' organizational flaws
Jaden Daniels... gets it big time. He gets it. Like that guy is on it... This quarterback covers up a lot of the sins of the organization. Not everybody's at his level... the quarterback is exceptional.
Adam SchefterKellen Moore and Dion Sanders are square in contention for the Cowboys job
Kellen Moore is a logical name because he fits there... Dion Sanders, if that's the way Jerry wants to go, square in contention. I would just say Kellen Moore square in contention, Dion Sanders, if that's the way Jerry wants to go, square in contention.
Adam SchefterBen Johnson is definitely taking a head coaching job this year
I don't see it this year. I don't see it. Ben Johnson has turned down two years of opportunities... at some point you have to take the plunge. The money is too great, the opportunities are too great... I believe he's taking a head coaching job this year.
Adam SchefterThe Cowboys must sign Dak Prescott to an extension this year to manage the salary cap
I think they have to get something done with him. I mean, he's got a 59 and a half million dollars cap number. They want to get a big deal done with CD Lamb. They want to get a big deal done with Micah Parsons. They want to upgrade their roster. Jerry Jones himself has said they're all in. Well, how can you be all in if your quarterback is taking up that much of the cap? Right. And by the way, if you don't get it done with him, then after the season, you can't tag him. Right. So he could just leave.
Adam SchefterThe presence of Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel on the market will speed up coach firings next season
I think the fact that [Vrabel's] out there, the fact that Bill [Belichick] is out there, I think it speeds up the coaching firing cycle next season when teams are ordinarily making moves. We get to Thanksgiving. Usually. Sometimes there's a move that is made early in the year. One stray firing, oh, Carolina fired Frank Reich. But usually teams wait till after Thanksgiving and then they start trickling in. I, I think it wouldn't shock me if we started getting stuff like if late, late October, early November, because teams want to go talk to Vrabel. They want to go talk to Belichick.
Adam SchefterThe compensation for a Justin Fields trade will be between a 2nd and a 4th round pick
I think the Justin Fields compensation is somewhere between what Alex Smith got [two 2s] and what Sam Darnold brought. [Sam Darnold] was for a four, a six that year and a four and a two the next year. So three picks. A two, four, and six. And I think that the Justin Fields compensation is somewhere between [those]. So it's like a second and a fourth. A two and a four.
Adam SchefterDenver will move on from Russell Wilson
I think they move on from Russ. I mean, Sean Payton, just read between the lines. Right? I don't even have to read between the lines. I think it's just saying it. Sean Payton's lines are like, he holds up three fingers in a straight line and then he takes the first two down. Between those lines, he's gone.
Adam SchefterThe Texans likely would have drafted Bryce Young if they had the #1 pick in 2023
If the Texans had lost that game and gotten the number one pick in that Draft, if that had happened, I think they might've taken Bryce Young. And I don't know if they would've traded the pick, which means Chicago wouldn't have Caleb Williams, which means they wouldn't be shopping Justin Fields this year.
Adam SchefterAaron Rodgers is the first domino in the NFL quarterback market
Everything's being held up right now by the quarterback in Green Bay. Yep. But he is outta the darkness. Once that happens, he's the first quarterback domino. Then all the other quarterback dominoes begin to fall.
Adam SchefterThe Jets are the most likely trade destination for Aaron Rodgers
To me [the Jets] is the one that makes the most sense by far. Okay. And it's not, if he is gonna be traded, that's the place it would be.
Adam SchefterBryce Young will measure in at 5'11" at the combine
My guess is five 11... He's hired a nutritionist to put on extra weight. So maybe you come in 195, 200.
Adam SchefterThe Bears' #1 pick is worth at least two first-rounders in a trade
To go from one to four. It, it's a minimum of two ones and then some and then some. Oh hell yes. Like it's, it's a lot.
Adam SchefterDan Snyder will sell the Washington Commanders
I think he's going to sell a team... I don't think you go down this road and have people touring the building and have as many people around the league looking at you in the way that you do with all these investigations... I think by the start of the new year, I think there's a new owner.
Adam SchefterRoger Goodell will sign another contract extension as NFL Commissioner
I'll make a prediction. That could be a, I I think he'll sign another extension. Oh.
Adam SchefterKliff Kingsbury could have had the Oklahoma head coaching job if he wanted it
I get a call from somebody, not in the Kliff Kingsbury camp, connected to the [Sooners]... and they said, are you aware of the fact that Oklahoma is kind of after him? ...I made a couple more calls and found out that if he wanted that job, he could have it. Now. Now it was portrayed as I'm giving Kliff Kingsbury leverage. I could care less.
Adam SchefterTom Brady was in talks to be a limited owner of the Miami Dolphins
He was retiring. I mean, there were other plans he's doing a movie. He was talked about as a limited owner of the Miami Dolphins. His family was at like, the decision had been made. He was retiring and we reported it.
Adam SchefterTom Brady will not play again this year, but might get the itch in July
Today I would say not going to play again today. Well, listen today, March 2nd, as we tape, I don't think he's going to play again, how he's going to feel in July and August when people are going back to training camp... he may get the itch.
Adam SchefterRussell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the Seahawks in 2022
Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback for the Seahawks to start the season. I would, I would think that that would be the case.
Adam SchefterThe Commanders should trade for Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz. I, I think we should put them in Washington just to see PFT's soul leave his body.
Adam SchefterDan Snyder has zero intent to sell the Washington Commanders
I can't see Dan Snyder ever voluntarily selling. ...I don't think so. I, I think he he's got zero, zero intent to sell.
Adam SchefterTom Brady is definitively the best quarterback of all time
The best quarterback of all time would be Tom Brady. That would be my opinion. Well, I would back it up with facts. The facts are he's won six Super Bowls. I do have two sources that have confirmed that Tom Brady is the best quarterback of all time. My left eye and my right eye.
Adam SchefterWinning my fantasy basketball league is as satisfying as breaking a major news story
Satisfying is winning. [Winning the fantasy basketball league] would qualify as something that is on that list [more satisfying than breaking a big story]. I won the league last year... No one gives a shit except me that I'm trying to repeat. And it means nothing to anybody, but it means everything to me.
Adam SchefterJason Witten returning to the Cowboys was the best move for him personally
Honestly, this was the best thing for him to do. Now, the people that didn't like him as a broadcaster, they're happy. Dallas is thrilled. It was a great move on his part.
Adam SchefterNFL owners, not Roger Goodell, will decide Robert Kraft's punishment
I don't think it's going to be Roger Goodell that does the things regarding Robert Kraft. I think it's going to be owners that do the things. The fellow owners. Roger Goodell, his bosses are the owners. And I believe his bosses will ultimately decide how the situation is handled.
Adam SchefterI am five foot eight
[I am] five foot eight. That is definitely... [I'm] definitely not 5'6".
Adam SchefterThe Dez Bryant tape is never coming out
I don't think it's ever coming. So Jerry [Jones] did a good job of burying that one.
Adam SchefterClark Hunt is a powerful NFL owner that the public doesn't mention enough
Clark Hunt is a very powerful, influential owner that you don't hear mentioned along with the Maras and Krafts and Rooneys. Clark Hunt is the guy that I'm putting in there.
Adam SchefterJeff Fisher won't get another head coaching job but will be a consultant
I could see him being brought in as a consultant, working around a team. I don't know if he's going to get a head coach. I don't know about that.
Adam SchefterThe Jets will win more than 3.5 games this season
In that particular case, I think I will take the... oh, that's right around there. I'll take the over, barely.
Adam SchefterSean McVay is a star and will be in the NFL for a long time
Sean McVay, the rookie head coach, who's a star, who's going to have a long time in this league.
