Takes

Aaron Rodgers is making the trade process dramatic just to keep people talking about him

There's no reason that he's doing how, how this whole process goes through. He's just making it as dramatic as possible so people can keep talking about him. That's really all it is... He's a fucking diva bitch.

Odell Beckham Jr. will have 2,300 receiving yards if he signs with the Chiefs

If he signs to the Chiefs. The Chiefs are all the way back. They're all the, he's gonna have, Odell Beckham's gonna have 2300 yards receiving if he signs with the Chiefs.

Aaron Rodgers might retire just to prove he doesn't need the $59 million

The more I think about it, the more he might retire just so that he could have the Trump card on everybody to be like, yeah, I'm the motherfucker who walked away from 59 million. Like, like that's his credibility... I think that Aaron might actually retire just so that he can have that moral high ground for the rest of his career.

NFL owners are colluding to prevent Lamar Jackson from getting a fully guaranteed contract

I think it's less about you need an agent and the collusion is more about the fact of nobody wants to pay him a guaranteed contract. Like the owners are so pissed off about the Deshaun Watson deal. Yes. And they know that Lamar wants a fully guaranteed contract. So I think if, if collusion is happening and there's like, there's a good chance that the owners are colluding on this, it's just to the point we're not gonna give this guy anybody else guaranteed five year deal.

Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets is officially happening

It's official. It's official. Official. He's gonna be a New York jet.

Zach Wilson's physical ceiling is Patrick Mahomes

Ceiling is Patrick Mahomes. Ceiling. Physically, they can make the same throws. Physically. They may not do it at the right times, or as accurately, but he can do the same thing.

I am fully buying in on Justin Fields in fantasy football next season

I am probably, if you guys allow me to manage your team again next season, I'm definitely gonna take whoever is wide receiver one in Chicago... I'm buying in on Justin. I hope Justin is their guy. I love Justin Fields.

I will only draft running quarterbacks for the rest of my life

I promise you also, I will only draft you. I don't care how early I have to draft them. I will only for the, for the rest of time tale. As old as time. I will only draft a quarterback that is a running quarterback.

The Ravens would have used the exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson if they truly believed a long-term deal was coming.

If you're the Ravens GM and you truly believe that you're going to re-sign Lamar Jackson to a long-term deal... wouldn't you make it an exclusive franchise tag? I certainly would. If you're confident that you can reach a place where you'll have an extension, then you would probably put that tag on him instead of the lesser amount and then leave the option for him to get signed by somebody else.

Lamar Jackson will be the future quarterback of the Washington Commanders.

I can report exclusively via Leroy that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills will not be pursuing Lamar Jackson... That basically just leaves the commanders and that's it. Yeah. So future Commander Lamar Jackson, I refuse to let Schefter beat me on.

The ceiling for Derek Carr and the Saints is a second-round playoff loss.

The Derek Carr deal... if you're a Saints fan, I guess you're like, 'Hey, it's better than what we've been going through.' But doesn't it feel like the ceiling for Derek Carr and the Saints is like maybe a second round loss?

Derek Carr would not work in New York because he is too sensitive to media criticism.

Derek Carr would not work [in New York]. He's too sensitive. He cries, he blocks everybody on Twitter. Like, his excuses wouldn't suffice for the New York [media].

Modern head coaches manage games better because they grew up playing Madden.

Honestly, so I grew up playing Madden. I really believe our generation is maybe a little bit better at game management because we've done that. Because we know when you're down 10 and you got, 'Hey, we're gonna kick the field goal now, and then I'm gonna get the onside, I gotta get the seven later.' I do think all those games, I know it's silly, but I do think that all helps when it comes to game management.

The idea that you must 'establish the run' to make play-action effective is a fallacy.

That's a fallacy. You don't have to establish the run to throw. I think play action's been proven that you don't need to have a good run attack or be running the ball to get the linebackers to decide.

Pressuring the opposing quarterback is more important than protecting your own.

[Big Cat: What's more important... protect the quarterback or heat up the quarterback?] Stefanski: Ooh, I probably heat up the quarterback. Yeah, that's the right answer. That's the way that you win Super Bowls.

NFL GMs should risk everything to draft Anthony Richardson at #1 overall

I dunno how you can be a GM and not risk everything to get him [Anthony Richardson]. Get him number one. Huh?

Bryce Young is officially too fat to draft after his Combine weigh-in

I actually ran the BMI on Bryce Young for his exact height and weight. 29.3. He's borderline obese. Yeah. He's too fat to draft. This guy's a tub of shit.

Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Green Bay Packers for the upcoming season

Leroy's first report... Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Green Bay Packers. Fuck. For the upcoming season.

Passion for the game is the most important trait in a draft prospect

For us it's passion for the game. And that's the cool thing about these interviews... guys sit down and you throw the film on. You see this body language from the guys that it's like different. They get to the edge of their seat.

The team with the #1 overall pick is essentially the second-best team in the NFL

There is only one team that can win a Super Bowl. Everyone else is a loser. Except the team that has the first pick. We are literally the second best team. There's the first pick in the Super Bowl. Right. That's it.

Bryce Young will be a top five draft pick regardless of his size

I think he eventually will just not matter [his size]. Yeah. It might matter when he's playing, but in terms of getting drafted, I don't think it will be that much of a bearing. I think he's going to go in the top five no matter what.

Jalen Carter will still be a top five pick despite his legal situation

Everyone takes their like pause to say, oh my God, this is horrific. And then [Jalen Carter] will still go top five.

Aaron 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.

The 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.

Bryce 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.

The 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.

Dan 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.

Roger 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.

Juju Smith-Schuster is a piece of shit and AJ Brown would beat him up

He's a piece of shit. Like, I don't know who he thinks he is... AJ Brown would beat the absolute fucking... AJ Brown would've. AJ Brown basically said, said that he would, he would beat the fuck out of him if he's keep talking about him.

I would be surprised if Aaron Rodgers is a Green Bay Packer next season

I think that Aaron Rodgers is probably gonna leave. I didn't ever think that before. Even when he was coming back, when he was trying to figure out if he was gonna play. I always got the feeling like he would be back in, in Green Bay... This time, I would be surprised if Aaron Rodgers was a Green Bay Packer next season.

Aaron Rodgers is going to be a New York Jet next year

If you're the New York Jets, you're gonna be, you're kind of all in at this point on Aaron Rodgers. That's why you hired Nathaniel Hackett... I do think that Aaron Rodgers is gonna be a Jet next year.

Tennessee just screams Carson Wentz to me

I also think that Tennessee just screams Carson Wentz to me. Yeah. It feels like a Carson Wentz situation.

Russell Wilson is a bit of a fraud

Super weird with [Russell Wilson]. I gotta admit I had his jersey... and I believed in what he was selling... turns out he is fraud is a bit much, but sounds like he's got too big for his boots and I'm glad that he's not a Seahawk anymore.

The Bears should consider trading both the #1 pick and Justin Fields to maximize draft capital

The Bears Trade, the number one pick. Okay. The Bears also trade Justin Fields. Then you're loaded. Just have like eight first round picks. The Eagles were able to load up because they were able to, to take advantage of a cheap contract with a quarterback. What if we just strip it all the way down and get all the picks and have all the Cap and Caleb Williams, Drake May coming up.

Losing three Super Bowls in a row is better than winning one and being irrelevant for 49 years

Losing 15 Super Bowls... this is kind of a mini dynasty you get to go to. Like, just think about how fun Super Bowl week would be. If for the next 50 years I said that your team can win one Super Bowl, but the rest of the 49 years they won't go to the playoffs. Or in the next 50 years, your team can lose 15 Super Bowls. I'd take 15. That means you have 18 months of pure joy in your life.

Nathaniel Hackett's biggest mistake was trying to be Russell Wilson's friend instead of his coach

His biggest crime, Nathaniel Hackett was he walked into a situation where he just wanted to please everyone and he wanted to please Russell Wilson. And he wanted to kind of be his buddy, not his dad. That's where you get first time head coach. Right? You don't come in and you're not gonna lay down the law.

Aaron Rodgers will definitely continue playing football

Trying to figure out if he wants to keep playing football. Spoil alert he will. Yep. Wants to continue playing. Probably win an MVP.

Aaron Rodgers will be phenomenal next season and probably win an MVP

I'm fully prepared for him to go back to the Packers and win an MVP. Yeah. Because it feels like this is just the cycle that we're in. And he's probably gonna be phenomenal next year.

I don't believe in Power 5 QBs who were average in college becoming incredible NFL players

Show me a quarterback who played at Power five, who was average, who then ended up having an incredible career. And I'm not saying like, the reason why I say incredible is if you're the number one pick, you should have like, you're projected to have a very good NFL career. And so that's like, if it, if we're talking about the 20th pick, that's different.

The Commanders will get Lamar Jackson

[Big Cat]: You guys are gonna trade up. I'll help you with that. [PFT]: No, we're getting Lamar.

Anthony Richardson will be the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft

I'm all the way back in on Anthony Richardson... he also knows I love value... Anthony Richardson +10,000 or whatever, 100 to 1 to go number one... I'm reading all the articles, trying to just will him to somehow become the number one overall pick.

Eric Bieniemy only joined the Commanders because he was promised they are getting Lamar Jackson

There might be a little deal behind the scenes with Ron Rivera telling Bieniemy 'Lamar gets franchise tag... if it's not exclusive, oh, we're gonna get Lamar now.' Why would he go to Washington, DC... to go to a starting quarterback, Sam Howell, who started precisely one game?

Dan Snyder will sign Lamar Jackson to a fully guaranteed contract just to spite the other NFL owners

Dan Snyder, out of spite just to fuck over the next owner would love nothing more than to give those two first round picks away and on top of that, throwing a shitload of guaranteed money in a contract extension for Lamar Jackson... it would be a fuck you to those [other owners] that don't want these guaranteed contracts.

Lamar Jackson is losing out on major opportunities by not having an agent

It is crazy Lamar Jackson doesn't have an agent. I know like you can, I'm all for player empowerment, but I feel like he is probably losing out on opportunities without an agent. And what team wa—he has no idea what team wants 'em.

Jonathan Gannon's corny energy was the source of the Eagles' locker room cringe

The good news for Max, Jonathan Gannon might have been the weird cringiness that was in the Eagles' locker room. Maybe Sirianni might've shed like a snake shedding skin that might've been the corny skin that he just shed. He also had, he, he looked up and down every player he, he like dapped up with in an uncomfortable way. And then he went up to Rondale Moore and said, 'pew pew shots, we're gonna take a lot of shots.'

Sam Howell will have an MVP season under Eric Bieniemy

I got the system. Patrick Mahomes is a system quarterback now I have the system. Yeah. The system is mine and Sam Howell MVP season coming on.

Carson Wentz will definitely be cut by the Commanders

If Carson Wentz doesn't get cut by the Commanders, I will get re I will get uncircumcised... Carson Wentz is going to get cut. He's trust me.

Russell Wilson will be tortured by Rex Ryan's defense in practice

Rex Ryan interviewed for the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator job. I want this so badly because Russell Wilson would just be tortured by Rex Ryan's defense in practice every week. And it would be so fucking funny.

Matt Nagy will win 2-3 Super Bowls with Patrick Mahomes

Matt Nagy... he's gonna be the offensive coordinator now and then gonna be the heir apparent to Andy Reid. So it's just everything that I've already expected and my worst nightmare. He's gonna win two to three Super Bowls with Patrick Mahomes. That's gonna happen.

The Bears should trade Justin Fields to get younger assets

Maybe I could trade the fields because I want to get young... [He] seems like he's been very promising for the last, at least six months or so... But we could maybe get like a lot of other options in exchange.
