Scoop City: Inside The NFL

One of the NFL’s top receivers is on the trading block. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel share what they know about who’s looking to make a deal with the Raiders for Davante Adams, who could benefit from getting him the most and what it would take to get a deal done. They also check back in on the Kansas City Chiefs, who have receiver issues of their own now that they’ve placed Rashee Rice on injured reserve and take the temp of what other big names might move before the trade deadline. In the latest edition of Chase is on the Case, Chase breaks down why Justin Fields, Jayden Daniels and Brock Purdy are all thriving for their teams this season. And ahead of the Jets taking on the Vikings in London this weekend, Dianna rings up UK-based Athletic managing editor for audio and Jets partisan Iain Macintosh to chat about his team and the international market for the NFL. Hosts: Dianna Russini, Chase DanielProducer: Marissa DunnExecutive Producer: Michael MartinezFollow Scoop City on YouTube Follow Dianna Russini: @DMRussini Follow Chase Daniel: @ChaseDaniel Hosted on Acast.
