Tell us how the defending NFC champions are looking. Maybe a little something about Brandon Ayuk as well. It is cut down day. We got some teams to keeping two quarterbacks, the Giants kept three, one team kept four. What does it all mean? We will dig into all the big moves. Also got a big change to NFL ownership rules that is now official. Now the crafts aren't going anywhere. We will explain to you though, how it could affect your team.

We will get to all of those significant transactions.

Around the league.

But let's start out with a significant quote out of Cincinnati, where Bengals head coach Zach Taylor spoke to the media today for the first time since his star wide receiver Jamar Chase began practicing again on Sunday. Obviously a big development in the ongoing hold in situation that has gone on throughout the course of training camp for Jamar Chase. Still no contract for Chase, but Zach Taylor certainly sounds like he expects.

That guy to be in uniform.

What accounts ian Zach Taylor today saying that he does anticipate Jamar Chase is going to be out there week one. Not a surprise again with Chase getting back onto the field. Where do we stand though, in terms of the contract saga right now with Jamar Chase and what impact of any is that's going to have in terms of his level of participation when we get to week one.

Where do we stand though, in terms of the contract saga right now with Jamar Chase and what impact of any is that's going to have in terms of his level of participation when we get to week one.

First of all, great quote, great quote from Zach Taylor being asked about Jamar Chase saying do you expect him to play week one and simply saying yes. I think it's fair to say that Zach Taylor has kept it too an absolute and utter minimum. As far as discussing Jamar Chase's situation, he has kept it in house situally, the only one of these things where we've gotten almost no insight into what is happening, and I believe that is in fact by design. Here's where it stands. Jamar Chase the last couple of days has been practicing. Taylor says he is going to play Week one. He is a hold in, not a holdout. There's no choice but to play week one. He's contractually obligated. He has not injured. This all makes sense. My understanding is the two sides are still discussing a potential long term extension that if he got, it would make him either tied for the highest paid receiver with Justin Jefferson or beating Justin Jefferson by one cent, which I believe is in fact the goal by Jamar Chase.

We will see over the next I don't know how many days.

I'm not going to do them at in my head, but a couple of days till the season starts, whether or not that happens. But that's the money part of it. The football part of it is Jamar Chase is going to play.

I don't know that I've ever seen a cent in a contract. I don't know how you would pro rate one cent over like a five year type of contract. Anyway, a lot of logistics involved. Point is Marchie some points going to get his money. It's a matter of if is it going to be now or is it going to be later. A Son Reddick meanwhile, wanted that money yesterday from the New York Jets after he was acquired in the offseason from the Eagles. Has still not gone through a walk through, a practice, a meeting, anything besides a press conference with his new team. But he is out there at least working out on the field. So how quickly could a Son Reddick be ready to play Robert Solo?

You know, like I said, he's a veteran. He knows what he needs to get ready. You know, he's had success in multiple buildings and multiple schemes with multiple coaching staffs, and so he's going to know what he needs to do to be ready for a week one.

Judy, this has been a string unique situation for the past month plus here with Asan Reddick not showing up the training camp. He is getting fine, He's never been with this new team. What do you make of where we stand right now? Just less than two weeks until the season opener. How in the world does this whole thing get resolved?

Well, today, Robert Salla, to me, sounded like a continuation. If you remember about a week ago, maybe two weeks ago, he said they would welcome Hassan Reddick in with open arms whenever he comes in, and this seemed like a continuation of that thought. Right, he's saying, this is a veteran. He knows how to be ready. He knows how to keep his body ready for a game. He's played in multiple schemes in multiple buildings. Basically, he could walk in and walk right onto a playing field and participate as a member of the New York Jets. He also said, plenty of time. I mean, there's not plenty of time. There's whatever it is, ten days until the season starts, eleven days. You're basically looking at they have a week to see if he will come in, if you want to get him on the practice field at all. But this was Robert Sala's way of saying, if he comes in before the season kicks off on Monday night football in San Francisco, he is going to participate. The question is will he come in? We don't know. We know he wants a new contract. We know the Jets are holding firm to the idea that they're not going to negotiate with somebody who's not in the building. So something's got to give at some.

In the NFL, all teams are required to get down to the fifty three man roster limit by four pm Eastern time. Earlier today, I mentioned off the top of the show the four teams had not released their cuts.

The Chiefs just did. They confirmed what.

The Chiefs just did. They confirmed what.

Ian reported earlier today, which is that the Chiefs are waving wide receiver Kadarius Tony, former Giants first round draft pick. He was caught a numbers crunch in Kansas City, where they also just announced too that they have waived Justin Ross, as well as one of their backup quarterbacks, Chris Alatakun in New England, Bailey Zappi, one of the quarterbacks who got let go earlier today, a guy who had started at times during his career in New England. He was let go at the roster cutdown last year as well, under slightly different circumstances.

They drafted two quarterbacks this year.

They drafted two quarterbacks this year.

Drake made Joe Milton, both those guys on the fifty three man roster. I would anticipate Zappi has some interest around the league, and the same goes for Desmond Ridder, the former Atlanta Falcons starter, former star at the University of Cincinnati. He was traded in this offseason to Arizona for wide receiver Rondell Moore. Well More severed a season ending injury during training camp. Now Desmond Ridder also not going to play a game for his new team. He gets waived earlier today. Another player who baseball where he was drafted. The body of work and the number of teams that still potentially could use an upgrade at the backup quarterback position, Desmond Ridder could land some place quickly. You know who doesn't need another quarterback right now would be the New York Giants. They kept three quarterbacks on their team, Daniel Jones, their starter, Drew lock and yes, Tommy DeVito continuing to stick with New York probably not a surprise for the Giants, not just in terms of Daniel Jones' health, but the reality that the rules now favor the teams give you an extra roster exemption for having the third quarterback on your active roster. To you, though, what if anything, does it say about their confidence in Daniel Jones coming off that injury that they decide to set up the roster the way they did in that room.

Well, first of all, doesn't it feel like more teams kept three quarterbacks today?

I feel that way than we've seen in the past. But in the case of the New York.

Giants, first of all, the obvious Daniel Jones is coming off a bad knee injury, and Drew Lock got banged up in training camp and during the preseason. He's got a hip an oblique situation. So Tommy DeVito sticks. Brian da Ball said, talking about the entire roster, it's fluid. It's fluid, so certainly you could see changes here, but they needed the insurance. I mean, Drew Lock is the backup when he is healthy, but you don't know if he's going to be healthy. And of course you know Daniel Jones is coming off a big injury, so you have to make sure he can get through a game. And Tommy DeVito, look, he did provide a spark last season when they needed it, and he was able to get in there and run the offense. And obviously he knows the offense even better now, so he sticks at least for the time being, and certainly when Drew Locke gets back to full health, and maybe when they see if Daniel Jones can make it through some games here, you know, then you see if they'll reevaluate.

There were a bunch of teams that went with two quarterbacks on their initial fifty three man rosters today, but you certainly understand based upon the number of players, twenty six backup quarterbacks started games in twenty twenty four. While some teams would decide to go with three, one team in kept four quarterbacks. The question now is will four quarterbacks still be on the PROWNS roster come League one?

Right, of course, about the Cleveland Browns, and you're right, they have a starter in Deshaun Watch It should be fine for the season.

They have dtr who they really like for the future.

They have dtr who they really like for the future.

And I would imagine view him as a potential future backup quarterback. They also have Snoop Huntley, and then of course they also have Jamis Winston, and I would say both of those names came up in trade conversations. Jamis obviously would be a different conversation because he's making a lot more money. Snoop Huntley would be a little more of a sort of lower signing a team looking to add a backup quarterback. I wonder if that would make sense with Minnesota Vikings did not end up happening, But for the Cleveland Browns, I would expect them to have at some point three quarterbacks.

We just don't know for sure who it's going to be.

We just don't know for sure who it's going to be.

And you're right, guys, there are plenty of time to shape their roster. Probably not going to start with four, but even if they do, it would sort of make sense because guys do get injured. Teams do have needs for quarterbacks. If this is a real asset they could have, you know, get in a potential trade, then they should probably just keep them and wait because injuries are unfortunately going to happen.

Well, so many people within the league over the past week have made the connections Snowpuntley the Chargers. They got justin Herbert banged up. He has familiarity with Greg Growman's offense, to the extent that the Chargers might have been thinking, hey, well, just wait till he gets cut and then we'll claim him instead of sign him. Instead of giving you something for him. The Brown say no, no, no, you're gonna have to You're gonna have to deal with us if you want to be able to get that guy in your roster. So some interesting decisions here to be made in the coming days. One situation that got resolved earlier today, the Rams found a new home for their inside linebacker Ernest Jones, the fourth who gets traded for a late round pickswap to the Tennessee Titans. Titans just lost one of their linebackers to a season ending injury a couple of days ago. Here or Ernest Jones ends up in a new spot for him and certainly a new look Tennessee team overall now with head coach Brian Callahan. There were a lot of players let go over the past several days. Here look at some of the notable names. We mentioned a few of them earlier today. Martavis Bryan also his comeback maybe hit a little bit of a speed bump. We'll see if he can land on the Commander's practice squad. Alan Robinson, the Giants veteran wide receiver who by all accounts to that a really good camp, also ends up being released. Remember vested veterans, not just young players now are allowed to sign on practice squad, So some of these names that you're seeing here, as well as the likes of Andras Carlson, will have to go to waivers could have new teams in the coming days.

I do want to go back a little bit to the offseason. You were featured prominently in Receiver on Netflix and for those of us who love football, is it very cool look kind of behind the scenes at you, at your family, at your preparation. Two parts of this one, what was that experience like? And then was there something you wanted to show people as it changed to like getting kind of inside the curtain of the of the NFL and doing that show.

Oh yeah, for sure. Overall, I think the show was amazing. When it was brought to me, I was all hands on dick with it. But I kind of like the fact that it kind of shows not only like what we're going through, like in the games what people get to see, but all the things that they don't see for is how bad we injured and like the things that we got to do to take care of bodies, to get out there and kind of put on a show and get the fans of what they want to see.

I can't let you get out of here with me asking this because we spend an ordinate amount of time talking about Brandon Ayuk on this show through the entire offseason. I think it's been in the show every single day. You know them, You've played with them for four years. I'm sure you talk to what what if anything can you tell us?

Good, good effort, Tom, good effort. I want to talk about you then, Deebo. You are twenty eight years old. You are one of the more, if not the most physical receivers in the NFL. I mean we you know you talk about what receivers in Kyle Shannan's system have to do.

Was there something you did this offseason or in training camp to get you to a point where your body feels really good and you know you could sort of keep this going for years to come.

Was there something you did this offseason or in training camp to get you to a point where your body feels really good and you know you could sort of keep this going for years to come.

So like this off season of you know, I've lost two Super Bowls, lost the NFC Championship, Well I lost two of them, and it's kind of like that fire that I got, Like, man, like, I'm trying to put myself in a position to be the best I can every day in, day in, day out, and so just taking advantage every opportunity I had this offseason fours being in the best shape possible and able to come back and help my team.

The team, like, what does the team have to do to get over the hump? You've been so so close so many times. What do you think the team has to do to get there?

That's kind of like a hard question to answer because like me personally, I feel like, you know, every time we out there as a team as a whole, we're giving it everything that we got. And I'm pretty sure the other team is doing the same as well. But I think it's just like more so of like honing in on the details and like minor like of aras that you will never know about that only we know about it, that we can just correct and just try to be as perfect as possible. But nobody's gonna be perfect people.

But you have seen him now this is your third training camp with him, certainly in one of the NFL's rising stars. Is there something you've seen this training get where Rock Purty does maybe a little bit better, more efficient than he has done previously, somewhere where he's kind of improved as a quarterback.

Like me, personally, I think rock decision making been outstanding since he's stepped in a huddle. But overall, I think thanks think got a little bigger what we call posaquaus. But overall, I think like his decision making is through the roof, and he's always calm and poised in the pocket. I feel like his range just got a little bigger.

NFL owners gathered today in Eagan, Minnesota to consider and ultimately approve a measure allowing part ownership of clubs by private equity firms. Here's what Commissioner Around Goodell had to say about that development.

NFL owners gathered today in Eagan, Minnesota to consider and ultimately approve a measure allowing part ownership of clubs by private equity firms. Here's what Commissioner Around Goodell had to say about that development.

We've been very deliberate on this private equity. I think it's, you know, an access to capital that I think it's been interest to us for a long time. Other leagues are doing it. We're doing a with a cap at ten percent, so much less significant position, but I think it's I think it's an appropriate thing to give teams at liquidity and to reinvest in the game into their teams, and I think it's as a positive development for us. And I don't think all teams will take advantage of that, but they will if they need that. I think it's a it's a very good opportunity for them. On Curtis Martin, Curtis deserves a tremendous amount of credit for bringing together, you know, several incredibly blue chip firms between Blackstone, CBC, Carlisle, and I think he has been the leader that he is shown in tremendous leadership. He will be investing along with them personally into his company as well as bringing in an additional firm which is primarily focused on getting people people of color into ownership positions. And this is something that we've long fought for and tried to find ways to encourage that. And it's a former NFL employeeho happens to be black also Don Cornwell, who is a great executive and will likely be CEO of that. So I think for a diversity front, it's a very positive thing and that Curtis has been at the front of that.

All Right, the most important thing to know is that private equity funds are not going to be running your football team. They're not going to own your favorite football team. They can buy very small shares of football teams ten percent, which is much less than they could buy in other leagues, which I think have a cap at thirty percent for most of the major sports leagues in the United States. But what this is is you heard Roger Gordell say, like it's capital. It's a ready way for owners to access cash, millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.

Need to upgrade. That's a really expensive thing.

Need to upgrade. That's a really expensive thing.

This is a way for owners to get cash to invest in the team, to invest in things surrounding the team. It's also indicative of the rising valuations of teams. Whenever a team comes up for so you see the numbers go up, up, up and we're all amazed at how much they sell for. The Commanders just sold last year for north of six billion dollars.

Well, there's a very small pool.

Well, there's a very small pool.

Of people who have the wherewithal and the desire to buy a sports franchise, and so they need to take on limited partners. This is just going to be another way to get a limited partner. And of course when funds are collected, like private equity funds, when they are pooled, they can write a much bigger check as a limited partner than an individual can.

They're right, Judy, And it's not just infrastructure though certainly the ability to improve stadiums, improve facilities, that's really come in to focus more.

I would say the last two or three years.

I would say the last two or three years.

Then I don't know at any time I can remember, and that having that cash on hand to do that is helpful also expected to be helpful when it comes to player contracts. I mean, if you fully fund a big time player contract, you have to take the cash, you have to put it in essentially an account, and it has to.

Sit there while it's fully guaranteed.

Sit there while it's fully guaranteed.

This allows more teams to take more just to have more cash if they need it for these contracts. The other thing I would say, and you touch on, this is where we talk about the evaluation of some of these franchises. Every team that does this, every team that accepts the up to ten percent of this essentially outside private equity money, is going to get a new valuation at a time when teams are going to be scrambling to get money to invest. I would expect this to raise the value of every franchise that decides to do this, probably raise the franchise the value of every franchise anyway, which is.

Who's one of these rookie players you've seen after the preseason you're really excited to see playing now on Sundays, Well, Tom, not.

Who's one of these rookie players you've seen after the preseason you're really excited to see playing now on Sundays, Well, Tom, not.

Just because this particular rookie, Graham Barton went to my alma mad and Duke and was a first center drafted in this year's draft by Tampa. But he's been an excellent play and didn't start the first preseason game. He started the last two. I've been going back and forth with Jason light the general manager, like he has given this offensive line a spark.

That man right there is going to benefit that running back right there.

That man right there is going to benefit that running back right there.

They have a chance of being a very good offensive line because when your center position is strong, your guards are going to be strong. Your protection is going to be better. And so far, it looks like it's been pretty easy for Graham Barton to make that adjustment from Duke where he was a left tackle the last couple of years to now the starting center for the Campa Bay Buccaneers.

And so far, it looks like it's been pretty easy for Graham Barton to make that adjustment from Duke where he was a left tackle the last couple of years to now the starting center for the Campa Bay Buccaneers.

Yeah, it's unbelievable versatility too. Even if the Bucks do need to move him at some point from center, they know he can basically play all the positions. And you know, this was actually I remember earlier than I thought he'd be drafted, but like this was the spot. I mean, this is a team that needs a baller at center, and I know they certainly feel like they have one.

Well, I just were sensory.

Well, I just were sensory.

I just did a Baldi's breakdown on the left tackle of the Tennessee Titans. The rookie left tackle the Mammoth JC Latham, and he's had an excellent preseason. He played very well the other night. Look, he was the right tackle at Alabama, they moved to the left tackle. Bill Callahan is his coach. I think Bill is amongst the two or three best offensive line coaches in this league. He's paired right next to last year's number one pick, Peter Skarnsky. This has a chance of being one of the best left side offensive lines. And I want to disparage anybody on the right side or Lloyd Kushamari, you know, at center. But between Latham and Skeronsky, you see the movement in the run game that is violent, violent movement off the ball. I think they're going to be very very good up front and that should benefit will Levis.

Know I could have gone all the linemen easily, Tom, but I mean you got to go. Caleb Williams. I mean I mentioned Tennessee and Chicago first week right there at Soldier Field. But you know, Caleb, I mean, look, just look at the statusy of ten or twenty for one hundred and seventy yards in the preseason.

But I was talking to him.

But I was talking to him.

There at the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. But the guy just brings juice. He brings confidence. He plays the game with confidence. He did a couple of things in that last preseason eight that he played in that they said he can't do. That we saw him do with Oklahoma and at USC get outside the pocket, extend plays, create plays, make little flips right like he did to DeAndre Swift. We've seen a lot of talent from him. And you know this throw right here is just I mean, that's a lot of talent right here to drop to Roma doonsday. So I think he's running for first down there. I think he's got all the skills to be very good, not eight games from now or next year. I think he's got the skills necessary to be good from week one in this Chicago Bear offense.

Later in the show, you got some of the duos that you're most excited to see just nine days away from regular season football. All right, coming up after this Miami Dolphins. We know they've got a lot of speed. We know they've got some really good receivers, but the depth is a little bit short right now, and we're not going to be seeing that guy Odell Beckham Junior in practice, much less a game for a little bit longer. We'll explain next along with our camera boles on the inside.

Was this a surprise? What do we expect? And tell me what other Dolphins things come to your mind.

Yeah, Ian Odell Beckham hasn't practiced since he signed with the Dolphins in May, so it wasn't a huge surprise for him not to have a big impact early in the season. They kind of left it a little bit open on whether he would start the year on pup. He obviously does misses at least the first four games, but this is a situation where he had an off season procedure. They've expected him to miss some time this spring and summer through workouts, and they've really just tried to get him fully healthy.

I've seen him around the facility rehabbing.

Last week, he was doing sort of a half speed run with trainers on the field, and so.

He's trying to get back.

I know he's dealt with a lot of injuries lately, and there's a lot of jokes that come on social media with that, but this is a guy that told us a few months ago he wants to end his storybook career right He obviously had the peak at the beginning, the injuries in the middle, and he hopes to end this right, so he wants to be back there out on the field. They just made a decision that, hey, we'd rather get him healthy for December and January, even if he has to miss September. But the other side of that is this Dolphins team is very thin at receivers. They only kept four receivers on their initial fifty three man roster and so next up behind are going to be Braxton Burials and their rookie Maleik Washington. But one thing to keep an eye on their running back Devine eight Chan has been getting some reps at receiver in camp, and I wouldn't be surprised if they play him a decent amount out there to get him and Raheem mostered on the field at the same time while they wait for Odell to get back. And one other thing you mentioned the other interactions with the Dolphins, they made a decision on their backup quarterback this week, going with third year Skyler Thompson over the more experienced Mike White. And when I asked Mike McDaniel about that, he said that last preseason game they had. There was a moment in the second quarter where Skyler was leading his team. He saw his teammates believe in him. He saw guy get up off the bench and really want to watch him. And he said, in adverse situations, if your backup gains that much confidence from your team, that's what helps him. He's a guy who's developed over these last couple of years, and they believe he could step in for Tua if the injury comes about.

It's really interesting, you know when coaches examine it and look at and judge and evaluate quarterbacks. Obviously they're looking at things like arm strength and athleticism and all the things. But the sort of intangible leadership, like how well can they galvanize guys? That's real and that was a really cool part of the Dolphins quarterback situation.

All right, let's stay in the AFC East. Let's talk a little bit about the Buffalo Bills.

They obviously had cut down day as well, and there was some intriguing decisions they made.

Tell me what cuts your eye in Buffalo.

The first thing we'll see in their linebacker Matt Mullone will be placed on injury reserve, designated to return, and I think that's actually good news for Buffalo. He suffered a torn biceps and practice and this devastating injury. They spect him to miss most of the season, but the fact that he's on designated return means there is hope that he can get back in the latter stages of the season, maybe December and January. So that's a selling of hope for Buffalo. But there also was a very cool story on a rough day for a lot of folks. The Bills have a linebacker named Joe and Dreson they call him Buffalo Joe because he's from Buffalo.
