Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets and NFL free agency takeaways

Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to discuss the latest news around NFL free agency, including Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' statement that he intends to play for the New York Jets, TE Darren Waller's trade to the New York Giants, NFL Draft prospect Jalen Carter's disastrous pro day, Dallas Cowboys releasing star RB Ezekiel Elliott and more.00:20 - Aaron Rodgers announced that he intends to be traded to the New York Jets. The trio discuss how this decision was made for Rodgers, what the expectations are for the Jets now entering 2023 and how Rodgers will be received by the New York sports market.28:55 - Dallas Cowboys release longtime RB Ezekiel Elliott. Jori gives her analysis on why Jerry Jones chose to make this move, what it means for Dallas and their new RB1 Tony Pollard and the best landing spots for Zeke.36:00 - Charles Robinson expresses concern about the number of starters the Philadelphia Eagles have lost so far. It will be interesting to see if the younger players on the roster can step up.39:45 - Las Vegas Raiders trade TE Darren Waller to the New York Giants. This move doesn't make much sense for the Raiders, who seem to be blowing it all up for next season, but it is a very high upside move for New York.46:45 - Charles McDonald wonders what the offseason plan is for the Arizona Cardinals, who have been extremely quiet so far this offseason.53:00 - More free agent signings: Baker Mayfield to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and analysis on why the Denver Broncos have been such big spenders early in free agency.1:03:35 - What should we make of top NFL Draft prospect DL Jalen Carter's disastrous pro day?

NFL free agency day one takeaways, Panthers trade up and Jalen Ramsey traded

Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab and Charles McDonald to recap day one of 2023 NFL free agency, discuss the Panthers' bold trade up to first overall in the 2023 NFL Draft and analyze the Dolphins' trade for Jalen Ramsey.00:20 - Aaron Rodgers needs to hurry up. The New York Jets are still awaiting his decision and are putting themselves in a bind with not much of a backup plan if it falls through.10:30 - San Francisco 49ers get aggressive and sign DT Javon Hargrave and QB Sam Darnold. Their defense is looking completely dominant for next season.18:15 - Las Vegas Raiders sign Jimmy Garoppolo. Is this an upgrade? Charles Robinson thinks Jimmy is a much better fit for head coach Josh McDaniels, but Frank and Charles McDonald can't see how this moves the needle for Vegas, especially given the other teams in their division.25:45 - Kansas City Chiefs sign OT Jawaan Taylor and likely plan to move him to left tackle for the 2023 season.31:25 - Atlanta Falcons get aggressive, make OL Chris Lindstrom the highest-paid guard in NFL history and sign SAF Jessie Bates. Frank thinks the moves don't amount to much unless they pursue QB Lamar Jackson.42:00 - Carolina Panthers acquire the first overall pick from the Chicago Bears. All agree that this is a rare win-win trade. Charles Robinson thinks the Panthers don't know yet which quarterback they're planning to take.48:40 - Los Angeles Rams trade CB Jalen Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey still has a few good years left at cornerback and will now be playing with a chip on his shoulder.Join Yahoo Sports' free tourney pick 'em for a shot at $25K: Mens & Women's Printable BracketsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Lamar Jackson's market is hotter than you think & 2023 free agency preview

Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein give their insider analysis on the unique situation with Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and why the initial interest isn't as high as we thought it would be. They also address the New York Giants signing QB Daniel Jones to a huge new contract and give a quick preview of an intriguing 2023 NFL free agent class.00:25 - New York Giants sign QB Daniel Jones to a 4-year, $160M contract and place the franchise tag on RB Saquon Barkley. Was this the right move? How should Giants fans feel about the future?12:00 - Jacksonville Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley wrote a heartfelt "Letter to the Game" where he gave context to the gambling scandal that led to his suspension for the entire 2022 season. Charles and Jori both think the letter is exactly what the doctor ordered and that Ridley could be on his way to a huge comeback in Jacksonville next season.20:50 - The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson, meaning other teams have the opportunity to acquire him if they can agree to a contract. The market has seemed a lot cooler than most would've thought, but Charles is adamant that this is how these things go and Lamar could still very well be on the move. The fact that Lamar represents himself also seems to be hurting him in this situation.48:00 - 2023 free agency preview: Charles and Jori take a thousand-foot view of the upcoming free agent class by discussing the top players available, the best position groups (offensive and defensive line) and which teams are poised to make a splash once the legal tampering period opens.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Lamar Jackson contract talks a disaster, Daniel Jones wants $45M, does Bryce Young's size matter?

Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab to discuss the biggest NFL news stories swirling around the NFL combine in Indianapolis, including Bryce Young's size measurements, Jalen Carter returning, the Las Vegas Raiders' plans at quarterback, the Baltimore Ravens' negotiations with Lamar Jackson, Daniel Jones' contract talks, Aaron Rodgers and more.00:40 - Does Bryce Young's size actually matter? Young's weight measurement at the combine may be the most anticipated size measurement in years, but will it actually affect his draftability?14:25 - The Raiders are rumored to be out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes and all in on acquiring a rookie quarterback. What would it take for Vegas to move up from the seventh pick to the first in the 2023 NFL Draft?23:35 - Lamar Jackson's contract talks with the Ravens have taken yet another turn for the worse following GM Eric DeCosta's comments at the combine. Could a Lamar Jackson trade actually become reality?34:55 - At first it was thought Daniel Jones' camp asking for $45 million per year from the New York Giants was a negotiating tactic, but Charles thinks they may be serious. Charles and Frank wonder if any team in the NFL would pay that amount in free agency.48:00 - Charles was amused by Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's comments on former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, which seemed to imply McCarthy thought the offense was almost too explosive. Frank and Charles are concerned about what the Cowboys offense will look like in 2023.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.
