Episode notes
Coach Preference Over Front-Office Picks
- Kellen Moore chose Spencer Rattler as the Saints' starter because Rattler looked more prepared and consistent in camp and preseason.
- Gregg Rosenthal and Jourdan Rodrigue note the choice likely won't last deep into the season given surrounding roster dynamics.
Bengals' Short-Term Contract Strategy
- Trey Hendrickson received a raise to $30M for 2025 in what appears to be essentially a one-year deal.
- Rosenthal and Rodrigue conclude the Bengals likely never planned a long-term guarantee and structured it to keep him for one season.
Amari Cooper Returns To Raiders
- Amari Cooper re-signed with the Raiders and will immediately add veteran receiver depth to their offense.
- Jourdan and Gregg argue Cooper won't necessarily be a volume, needle-moving presence behind Brock Bowers.
