QB timelines are getting shorter

Trading for Brandon Aiyuk

Rick Pitino won't stop

On this episode of 3 & Out, we break down a major quarterback move as the Kansas City Chiefs trade for Justin Fields. What does this mean for the Chiefs’ offense, how could Fields fit alongside Patrick Mahomes, and what led Kansas City to make the move?

Plus, we discuss how quarterback timelines across the league are getting shorter, with teams making quicker decisions than ever before on whether their young QBs are the long-term answer.

 And we look at the market around the league and whether any team will ultimately trade for Brandon Aiyuk.
