Making one big move to fix every NFC team
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein kick things off by diving further into Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' new massive extension and what that means for the Baltimore Ravens and QB Lamar Jackson. Next, they discuss the San Francisco 49ers and their QB Brock Purdy's latest comments when he spoke with Jori last week regarding his elbow surgery. They also address the rumors that the 49ers are looking to trade QB Trey Lance, and discuss what compensation it would take for other teams to acquire the young player. Later, Charles and Jori make one move (either through the draft, free agency or a trade) that would drastically improve each NFC team heading into the 2023 season.1:45 - The Eagles made an aggressive play by signing QB Jalen Hurts to a massive extension. Charles and Jori discuss how this contract affects Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who is rumored to want a fully guaranteed deal.12:55 - Jori interviewed 49ers QB Brock Purdy last week, and the young quarterback said he wasn't sure when he would be able to play next season. Overall, Jori believes this quote wasn't as bad as people thought, as it's still far too early in Purdy's recovery from elbow surgery to know when he'll be able to play.19:15 - Rumors have been circulating about 49ers QB Trey Lance potentially being traded. Charles believes this is very likely, and doesn't think the compensation would have to be very high for. teams to acquire him. Charles likes the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans as potential landing spots.29:30 - Fixing every NFC East team: Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders and New York Giants.38:35 - Fixing every NFC South team: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints.44:30 - Fixing every NFC North team: Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.53:30 - Fixing every NFC West team: Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Jalen Hurts signs mega-deal & 2023 All-Juice Team in honor of Terez Paylor
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the show by giving their immediate takeaways on Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' massive contract extension before going position-by-position as they reveal and explain the process behind their 2023 All-Juice Team. 1:35 - Eagles make QB Jalen Hurts the highest-paid player in NFL history with a five-year, $255M contract extension. This deal caps off a fantastic three-year career arc for Hurts, who was originally drafted to be a backup, but it also resets the QB market going forward.10:15 - Robinson introduces the All-Juice Team and explains how each pick was made through a tier system.17:20 - Quarterback: Bryce Young. There was some debate between Young and Florida's Anthony Richardson, but Young won out due to his production at Alabama.22:15 - Running Back: Tulane's Tyjae Spears. McDonald sees Spears as a home run threat who plays bigger than his size.24:05 - Wide Receivers: A.T. Perry, Zay Flowers and Tank Dell. Dell is undersized but dominated at the Senior Bowl.28:15 - Tight End: Darnell Washington gets the spot for his elite athleticism and blocking ability.31:35 - Offensive Line: Peter Skoronski and Darnell Wright at tackle, and O'Cyrus Torrance, Chandler Zavala and Olusegun Oluwatimi on the inside. The duo prioritized offensive line to protect Bryce Young.38:20 - Defensive Line: Mazi Smith, Gervon Dexter, Calijah Kancey and Will McDonald. This group has an enormous ceiling with a lot of raw talent.48:10 - Linebackers: Dee Winters, Isaiah Land and Aubrey Miller. This LB class is fairly weak, especially getting into the later rounds.51:55 - Cornerbacks/Safeties: Christian Gonzalez, Julius Brents, Starling Thomas, Chris Smith and Kaevon Merritweather. McDonald loves Smith's reliability coming from Georgia.56:25 - Favorite late-round pick from the All-Juice Team: McDonald picks OL Chandler Zavala, while Robinson goes with Houston WR Tank Dell.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Biggest risers & fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft
Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald recap the latest news from around the NFL, including the Jeff Okudah trade and concerning news around Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. Later, the duo dive into their biggest risers and fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:35 - Detroit Lions trade CB Jeff Okudah to the Atlanta Falcons for a fifth-round pick. It's a fresh start for Okudah, but the compensation seems low for Lions. This is a big miss for Detroit, but the Falcons may have gained a starting cornerback for cheap.11:50 - Arbitration has been filed against Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. The allegations are very concerning, and Bidwell's reputation as an owner could be a big reason why the Cardinals organization continues to struggle year after year.24:15 - New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley has refused to sign the franchise tag so far as he pursues a long-term deal. Charles Robinson thinks this situation represents how the entire NFL now views running backs. Even elite RBs like Barkley will have a very hard time getting paid going forward.35:30 - Florida QB Anthony Richardson has been one of the biggest risers of the 2023 NFL Draft, as his athletic testing blew teams out of the water. Charles McDonald wonders if QBs could go in each of the first four picks this year.40:40 - Is Georgia QB Stetson Bennett a riser in this draft? Neither host loves Bennett as a prospect, but the QB had a lot of buzz after a positive performance at the combine.48:10 - Georgia DL Jalen Carter fell throughout the draft process, but how far? Both hosts agree that at the end of the day, Carter will likely end up being picked close to where he was originally projected. Carter is too good of a prospect to pass on.57:25 - Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer may be a faller in this draft not through fault of his own, but because the tight end class around him has impressed throughout the athletic testing process.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Favorite player-team fits in the 2023 NFL Draft & OBJ to the Ravens
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the show by giving their reactions to WR Odell Beckham Jr. signing a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Next, the duo attempt to break down which six teams have reportedly inquired about trading up to the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Later, Robinson and McDonald go through C Mac's top-five favorite player-team fits in the draft and how likely each fit is to become reality.00:25 - Free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. It's clear that the Ravens made this move to sway QB Lamar Jackson, and it appears to have worked. Jackson seems pleased with the addition, and if OBJ can stay on the field, he could be a big upgrade to a Baltimore offense that lacks playmakers outside of the quarterback position.16:25 - A report surfaced that six NFL teams have inquired about trading up to the third overall pick. The duo attempt to determine which six teams they were and put forth some potential trade scenarios that would get the deal done. Could a team further back in the draft like the Minnesota Vikings or Tennessee Titans make a huge move to get their new QB? What would make it worth it for the Arizona Cardinals?32:15 - Ad Break32:20 - Charles McDonald's favorite fit for QB C.J. Stroud is the Carolina Panthers. How likely is it that Stroud goes first overall?37:25 - Tyree Wilson to the Atlanta Falcons? They need help along the defensive line, but Robinson isn't sure that drafting Wilson in the top ten is good value.41:20 - Peter Skoronski to the Chicago Bears? This pick makes all too much sense given Skoronski's Chicago connection and his ability to play anywhere along the offensive line.46:15 - Will Anderson to the Cardinals? New head coach Jonathan Gannon needs weapons on defense, and Anderson is the obvious fit if Arizona doesn't trade back.50:15 - Zay Flowers to the Los Angeles Chargers? The Chargers need more speed on offense, and Flowers would round out a very solid group of weapons for QB Justin Herbert.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Mock Draft! Reviewing Charles McDonald's latest mock draft
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald go pick by pick through Charles McDonald's latest 2023 NFL mock draft as they discuss the top prospects and their ideal landing spots.00:30 - The duo discuss a few of the veteran quarterbacks that remain available and how they could shape the draft if teams miss out on their guy. Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Matthew Stafford and maybe even Aaron Rodgers remain available for the right price.8:15 - Carolina Panthers select QB C.J. Stroud first overall. Although this has been reported as a lock, Charles Robinson thinks the Panthers are not quite decided yet.13:50 - Houston Texans select QB Bryce Young second overall. Houston is in love with two quarterbacks in this draft, and Young is likely their top choice.18:40 - Arizona Cardinals select EDGE Will Anderson third overall. Although Arizona would likely want to trade back, Anderson would be a huge lift to their weak defensive line.22:50 - Indianapolis Colts select QB Will Levis fourth overall. Levis going before Anthony Richardson would be a surprise, but McDonald suspects Levis fits the Colts' ideal QB better.28:20 - Seattle Seahawks select DL Jalen Carter fifth overall. Head Coach Pete Carroll has never shied away from taking on risky prospects, and Carter could be an enormous boost to a struggling defensive line.35:10 - Picks 6-10: Anthony Richardson to the Detroit Lions, Christian Gonzalez to the Las Vegas Raiders and more.50:15 - Picks 11-31: The duo speed through the second half of the first round and highlight a few of the most interesting picks, including WR Jaxon-Smith Njigba to the Green Bay Packers and RB Bijan Robinson to the Philadelphia Eagles.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Top takeaways from the 2023 NFL owner's meetings
Charles Robinson is joined by Jori Epstein to recap the biggest takeaways coming out of the 2023 NFL owner's meetings, including the potential sale of the Washington Commanders, new changes to the 2023 NFL rule book and the latest on Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Later, the duo discuss two teams who are heading into pivotal seasons in 2023: the Cleveland Browns and the New England Patriots.00:25 - Kansas City Chiefs superfan "Chiefsaholic" arrested for an alleged bank robbery. Charles and Jori joke about how this all went down and dive into one of the more interesting stories out of the offseason.6:50 - A group has come forward with a fully financed bid to purchase the Washington Commanders. Charles believes it's only a matter of time before the deal goes through and Dan Snyder is no longer the owner.20:10 - New rule changes: Charles and Jori give their analysis on the three biggest changes to the NFL rule book this season – players wearing the number zero, teams potentially playing two Thursday night games and only one roster cut down date at the end of the preseason.35:35 - Lamar Jackson returns to Twitter, but this time the duo agree that he might be doing more harm to his contract negotiations than good. Jackson elaborated on the severity of his injuries last season, which could make it even less likely he gets the fully guaranteed contract offer he's reportedly looking for.43:55 - This is a pivotal season for the Cleveland Browns and QB Deshaun Watson. Watson received a historically massive guaranteed contract last season, and so far it's looking like a mistake.52:50 - Is there a rift growing between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft? Comments from Kraft at the owner's meeting seem to indicate so. If Belichick's roster doesn't begin showing improvement this season, could we see the legendary coach on the hot seat in 2024?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Favorite NFL draft prospects, Lamar Jackson requests a trade
Charles Robinson joins us from the owner's meetings in Phoenix, Arizona accompanied by Charles McDonald to discuss the biggest news around the meetings, including Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson announcing he requested a trade. Later on, Charles McDonald gives his five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:30 - Lamar Jackson announced he officially has requested a trade. Both hosts agree this doesn't change the dynamic of the current situation much, but it does make it less likely Jackson returns to Baltimore in 2023 unless the Ravens offer the contract he is looking for.16:15 - Charles Robinson gives an update on the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets working out a deal to send Aaron Rodgers to New York. Charles says the two sides aren't far apart, but there are some key disagreements that still need to be worked out before Rodgers becomes a Jet. The Packers are likely looking to get a first-round pick and more out of the deal.26:00 - Charles McDonald goes through the list of his top-five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft: QB Bryce Young, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, EDGE Tyree Wilson, CB Christian Gonzalez and OL Peter Skoronski.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL free agency winners and losers: Lamar Jackson, 49ers, Panthers and more
Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to recap the latest news around NFL free agency, including OT Laremy Tunsil signing a historical extension with the Houston Texans, the Carolina Panthers building around a rookie, Cincinnati Bengals signing OT Orlando Brown Jr, the latest with Lamar Jackson and more before diving into some biggest winners and losers of 2023 NFL free agency.00:25 - Houston Texans make OT Laremy Tunsil the highest-paid OL in NFL history. All agree this is a great signing for Houston, who are likely planning on bringing in a young quarterback in the draft.6:45 - Lamar Jackson is a clear loser of free agency so far. There are no signs that he and the Baltimore Ravens are any closer to reaching a deal. Charles McDonald wonders if the Ravens need to start thinking about life after Lamar if they can't get a deal done by the draft.17:30 - Carolina Panthers are taking care of business and building around the rookie quarterback they're going to draft in April. The group likes their veteran signings, including QB Andy Dalton, RB Miles Sanders, Wr Adam Thielen and TE Hayden Hurst.26:30 - WR Brandin Cooks traded once again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys. Jori thinks he slides in as WR2 from day one.34:25 - Bengals QB Joe Burrow is a winner of free agency as Cincinnati signs OT Orlando Brown Jr. It's a great move for the Bengals, but Brown missed out on a lot more money if he would've signed last year.41:40 - WR Odell Beckham Jr. is a loser of free agency. His market just hasn't materialized the way he'd hoped, and Charles Robinson wonders if OBJ will ever return to the level of play many expect from him.55:35 - Lightning round winners: San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta FalconsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.
