Colin Cowherd Podcast - March Madness Preview, Rodgers Decision Looming, 49ers Rebuild, Bears Trending Up?

Colin starts by previewing March Madness, why the SEC is clearly the conference to beat after a record 14 teams made the tournament, and makes his prediction for the winner of the big dance (2:30)!   Then he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”!   They start with the SEC’s ascendence in basketball in the past decade, why the injection of huge money to the conference from football revenues have been a boon to their other sports programs and why the travel schedule for the former Pac-12 schools in the Big Ten is a huge disadvantage (7:00). They pivot to the NFL and what to expect from a 49ers team that finally hit the reset button after making trades and cutting key players as a contract extension for Brock Purdy looms (14:30).  They discuss why the Bears making several moves to address their offensive line shows that the franchise is getting a much needed change of culture under head coach Ben Johnson and are headed in the right direction (28:15).  They break down some of free agent signings that puzzled them, why the Cooper Kupp contract made no sense and what to make of the Seahawks after swapping out Geno Smith for Sam Darnold (35:00).  They review the options for Aaron Rodgers next team and Colin explains why the Steelers would be his LAST choice and John says Rodgers should be begging Kevin O’Connell for the opportunity to quarterback the Vikings (40:45).  Finally, they discuss Jim Harbaugh’s strategy of overdrafting offensive lineman, why the Chiefs struggles on the O-line will cause them to take a step back in 2025, and Colin explains why he LOVES the Najee Harris signing by the Chargers (1:00:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Eagles Face TOUGH Roster Decisions, Will Cowboys Draft a QB? Deebo Trade, Jimmy Johnson’s Legacy

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk NFL! They start with Matthew Stafford deciding to stay in LA, debate whether the Rams asking price of a 1st round pick was too steep, and explain why Stafford would be crazy to leave the Rams in pursuit of more money (2:45).   They discuss the pending roster cuts the Eagles are facing after their Super Bowl win and debate whether the Eagles should keep linebacker Zack Baun or wide receiver A.J. Brown or cut/trade both in order to keep their dominant offensive and defensive lines intact (10:30).  They talk about how the infusion of NIL money has changed the game when drafting “celebrity quarterbacks” from college and why it’s given more leverage to prospects, and whether  Shedeur Sanders could overplay his hand in that environment (17:30).  They discuss Jerry Jones’ skipping his typical press conference at the combine after the Deebo Samuel to the Commanders move, why Dak’s contract will sink America’s Team and why Dallas might draft a quarterback in an early round (28:45).   They break down why the ambiguity surrounding Sam Darnold’s future is just the Vikings doing Sam a “solid” after a great season, and predict the Vikings will end up rolling with J.J. McCarthy (38:00).  They discuss the top quarterback prospects and why their landing spot will matter and compare them to recent prospects with tremendous physical gifts like Jalen Milroe and Anthony Richardson, and why those types of prospects rarely hit (41:15). They talk about the legacy of Jimmy Johnson after announcing his retirement from broadcasting at FOX and why as both a coach and broadcaster, he’s had a lasting impact on the NFL (50:00).  Finally, Colin addresses the “California Haters” ahead of his move to Chicago and asks John about his move out of California to Arizona, whether he has any regrets and whether the state will have to make changes in order to continue being an engine of innovation (1:00:45).   Follow Colin and The Volume on Twitter for the latest content and updates!  #Volume #Herd #3andOutSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
