There is a times just be real exactly, there's a ton to get to take texting me in about two seconds, there's probably no doubt, and I'll probably get an angry text as well, and he'll probably show me how much product he's using to make sure that he gets that volume. A ton to get to for us, And certainly looking forward to your take on all of these stories that surrounds maybe the number one pick in this year's draft, cam Ward.

We watch them have a stellar pro day this week.

That momentum has carried into a private workout with the Titans, who owned the number one overall pick. You know, break this down for me, what do we need to know about Tennessee and they're thinking about potentially their new QB one.

That momentum has carried into a private workout with the Titans, who owned the number one overall pick. You know, break this down for me, what do we need to know about Tennessee and they're thinking about potentially their new QB one.

But what the Tennessee Titans are doing is really going through a thorough evaluation process, not just trying to figure out is cam Ward the number one overall pick for them? But are they even gonna make the number one overall pick they have cam Ward today? Obviously they were very famously at his pro day a couple of days ago.

In fact, remember when.

In fact, remember when.

Cam Ward threw a dime down the field, came over to Titans brass and basically said, I'm the guy for you. In other words, pick me at number one. Now they are just not there yet. They also, by the way, are going to do a private workout with Shador Sanders after his pro day, so that is going to be in a couple of weeks. And really what they want to find out are either of these guys worthy of number one.

If the answer is yes, then it is simple.

If the answer is yes, then it is simple.

Likely take cam Ward, here's their franchise quarterback in the Tennessee who had a really tough year last year. Have a new general manager in a second year, a coach, and Brian Callahan can just move forward like that. If they do not believe that either players worthy of number one, then likely they would look to trade. And they are going to have several teams interested. The Giants would potentially be one, the Saints would potentially be one. The Titans have time, They're trying to do a thorough process and figure it out. I would say it's likely that they make the number one pick pick right now, but.

And by the way, more context on this story coming up, and just a big cam Wolfe was actually at that pro day. So more on cam Ward coming up here on Insiders. Not the only quarterback though that could be taken in the first round. In fact, Jackson Dart is now creating a little bit of buzz had his pro day. This is a guy who's had plenty of splash plays playing for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss.

Ten thousand yards, seventy two touchdowns, ran for twelve more ian what's the general conversation been like when you hear Jackson Dart and NFL teams.

Well, first of all, let's get to the NFL teams, right, because obviously Jackson Dart put on a show today. There was a lot of wild plays in college. There's a lot of wild throws today. Sounded like overall extremely extremely positive for Jackson Dart.

But of note for me at least, was who was there?

Right?

Right?

I mean, because we all talked about which coaches at tend and you know, obviously so many high ranking officials were at cam Wards Frodie, but Kevin Stefanski, the Browns head coach, he was at Jackson Darts pro day. Shaye Tierney, the Giants quarterback coach, he also was there. Kellen Moore, the Saints head coach, all there for Jackson Dart doesn't seem right now, we'll see, doesn't seem like he's going to crack into the top two of quarterbacks, but certainly very much in the conversation for who the third quarterback is going to be. And you know, look, if you asked NFL personnel right now he said, where does he rank? I think a lot of people would say, you know, maybe second round. Usually if you're a quarterback and you got game, and Jackson Dart does, if your second round quarterback, you probably end up in the first round. We saw the same thing with bo Nicks last year, ended up going early one at a time when no one thought he would be able to. This is a guy in Jackson Duard who I would say this, It seems like him. If he is quarterback three, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's the first round. And then those teams I mentioned before, Kabili can trade back into one to come get it.

Yeah, it's wild. Last year and you made a reference to we saw bon Nix Goo twelfth.

If you've seen a lot of he's on this game, it's not shy about talking out on that football field. Meanwhile, sure, Shadre Sanders and Camboard could be the first two qbs off the board. Now we talked earlier about cam Ward and that work out with the Titans. He's already met with the Browns as Shador Sanders will.

It's gonna be some some learning pains, but no, no, US as a team as an organization has to be able to uh be a landing pad from you know, the fall back on and uh you know, being able to be on the defensive side and uh help him out whenever no things go wrong. That that's that's crucial. That's not for just for a young quarterback. That's for veterans and guys who've been here for for a while.

You say, veterans, I got one for you. So there's been a little buzz here on social media. Cleveland might have their eyes on another quarterback. Her cousin's seen at a Cleveland Chipotle. Now, Ian, I know you'll be able to tell us what it means from a football perspective, but let's get real here. There's another layer to this story. And our GMFB team revealed that when.

I hear double chick and I cringe because if I know Kirk, you got to know the hack at Chipotle on how to order twice the amount of me on. You never ever say I would like a bowl with double steak or burrito with double barbakoa. No, what you say is, sir, ma'am, I would like a steak burrito, and then they give you the full single.

I would never order double meat out a Chipole. I like Chipotle, by the way, they do a great job, and I would never order double meat. Now talking at the bar order a double that actually can happen from time to time, the same rules do not apply. I really appreciate Kyle Brand's breakdown. And if anyone anyone knows how to gain the system at a place like Chipotle, it's Kyle brandt.

First of all, when Miles Garrett speaks, when Miles Garrett talks about the quarterback.

First of all, when Miles Garrett speaks, when Miles Garrett talks about the quarterback.

Position, that is meaningful, that is significant.

Position, that is meaningful, that is significant.

The reason I say that, of course, is Miles Garrett very famously ask the Browns to trade him Roll in the offseason, ended up coming back listening to the team's pitch. Listen to their explanation. Plus forty million dollars per year also helped. But listen to their explanation about how they're going to get back to being competitive. When he speaks about them drafting the young quarterback and being willing to let this quarterback clarent, this sounds like someone who's heard exactly that from Cleveland Brown's brass. That is why when Miles Garrett talks about them taking to quarterback a rookie quarterback, I would say this, I would listen, now, is it going to be at two? We don't know, is it going to be in the second round or betrayed up early? And if we don't know, but certainly does seem like that potentially could be the case. The Kirk Cousins factor here is fascinating as well, because the Browns had mentioned one of the teams that's maybe been interested in Kirk Cousins. But here's what I would say on kirk Cousins obviously has the huge contract. He has one hundred million dollars guaranteed by the Atlanta Falcons over a couple of years. I believe it's ninety fully over the first two years of his deal. The new team acquiring the contract is not going to pay that forget that number.

That's not important. The Falcons are ready on the hook for that. The question is.

If your new team acquiring Cousins and the Browns certainly would make sense, as would a couple other teams. What the facts are going to try to get you to do is take some of it. How much is it twenty million, is at ten?

How much the new team pays will obviously affect what draft pick they're willing to send the Falcons four Cousins. It's sort of a sliding scale. We don't even know right now if the Falcons end up trading him, but the actual money on the contract doesn't matter. Just how much is the new team willing to take on.

Glad you have another that context not only on your order, but also on the dollars and cents with regard to Kirk Cousins. Now we're having this conversation about what some of these teams at the top of the draft might be thinking, especially at quarterback. Turns out there's actually a defensive player who might be the best of the entire group.

Man look for this entire conversation about the Titans. And if it's cam Ward, maybe a quarterback Lance Zerline, who I work with on Mock Draft Live h going on his mock with the Titans taking a duel Carter going some defense. The point is, even if it's not the Titans, according to all of our experts, he's not going to have to wait all that long to hear his name called. Today was his Pro day and our guy Brian Baldinger was able to track him down.

And by the way, Chopp was a freak azoid at the combine, so the fact that he's saying Duel Carter is faster than him is noteworthy. More from Baldy, by the way, coming up in just a bit, Tyler Warren, who might be the first tight end taken in this year's draft.

First of all, Abdul Carter is going to go early, right you mentioned him with all the teams in the top five. I would be stunned if he fell out of the top five. Really, the question is, though, where does he go freak athlete? All this stuff about his feed that was all real, But there are going to be some questions for NFL teams, specifically about medical. We know that he dealt with his shoulder injury, showed a lot of toughness late in the season playing to a pretty significant shoulder injury that has taken some time to heal and was the reason that he originally was not sleated to work out of the Combine. Then he met with Combine medical officials, met with doctors and they discovered a little bit of a stress reaction. You'd call it a stress fracture, but it's not as significant as that on his foot so they pulled him back and they were discussing whether or not to have surgery.

You'd call it a stress fracture, but it's not as significant as that on his foot so they pulled him back and they were discussing whether or not to have surgery.

My understanding was.

My understanding was.

It was a very small spot, it was not causing him pain, so they opted not to have surgery. That said, they have a great player with a couple of medical questions who hasn't worked out.

Okay, other news to get to. I saw this hit the inbox a little while ago. I look for all the conversation we have about quarterbacks in anyone when you got a good coach, you make sure that he's not going anywhere. Baltimore, they got one John Harbaugh, who gets an extension.

Okay, other news to get to. I saw this hit the inbox a little while ago. I look for all the conversation we have about quarterbacks in anyone when you got a good coach, you make sure that he's not going anywhere. Baltimore, they got one John Harbaugh, who gets an extension.

Yeah, big time extension, lucrative extension for John Harball. He gets a three year deal, was actually going into the last year of his deal, which you know, can create some drama, can create some discussion. Not like he's in any trouble. But I'm just saying, when you're going into the last year of your deal, there's always a talk. And so what they did was they ended a talk. They made him very richly paid, as he has already been. My understanding is the extent is actually extension is actually north of his brother Jim, which should be interesting conversation. He at various tables during holiday time. He is now locked in through twenty twenty eight. It's going to be interesting to see what when the Baltimore Ravens address the a status of general manager Eric Tacosta, also going into the last year of his deal. They have enjoyed an incredible six year run together. Would imagine that would be the next thing for Baltimore to tackle.

But a big day for the head coach today.

But a big day for the head coach today.

I wonder if John goes to the negotiating room and says, you know what, just one dollar more than Jim, Just one dollar more is all I need. Possibly, well, looks like he is going to get a little bit more. Not the only the coach that's getting an extension and getting paid. He might be the biggest attraction on all of college football, player or coach. And yes, I'm talking about Prime, who gets a five year, fifty four million dollar contract extension by CU. So he's not going anywhere in terms of staying with the Buffs. What's the fallout ian from an NFL perspective with for Prime?

If you say not going anywhere, and I would agree, it sounds like he's not going anywhere. Five year extension, massive deal ten point eight million dollars were the highest paid coaches in college football, and he is worth it. I mean, the popularity of Colorado football has gone through the stratosphere since coach Prime took over. And you know, his name was mentioned a little bit, I would say, by some people in conjunction with the Dallas Cowboys head coaching job this year. Obviously that went to Brian Schottenhammer. That was never a real thing, but it did sort of lead to some discussions about his new deal. But here's what I know. I know the NFL world, I know the gossip circles. Whoever drafts Shador Sanders, if that team ends up struggling, you're going to say, hey, what about coach Prime. Yes, I know he signed a five year deal, but it's not going to stop the discussion. I think the main thing for him, He gets paid his salary that he deserved. It's a very good day to be Dion Sanders. But this is not going to quiet any of this talk for next year. I'll just tell you that.

Yeah, and maybe a little less on the negative recruiting for some of the competition out there saying hey, Prime's out the door. I can help me say, hey, yeah, five year deal not going anywhere. Whether or not that's actually accurate or not, at least he can go and officially say that. Ian more from you in just a moment here on the insiders. But also need to update everyone on what's happening with this dude, because when he's healthy, it's fun. Dig's one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Drake may Well, his team just leveled up. Patriots sagree to a three year, sixty nine million dollar deal with the wide receiver.

You know, I'm a I'm a hard worker, so I try to like put a lot on my plate one time, but I'm trying to breathe it back a little bit. Just be a little bit more smarter. And what was your second question? Oh, I'm excited. I really look forward to it. It's crazy because when you ask around, he has a lot of similarities. Well people say through the Great Bonyax a lot like Josh and you know that was my guy. So I'll look forward to meaning and connected with him.

Oh, it's clear Drake May is going to have some better options in New England. But he's not the only second year player poised to make a jumb JJ McCarthy. We're expecting some elevated production. We'll explain that. And the latest on Aaron Rodgers a visit in Pittsburgh that's done, What does it mean? And where he plays? What we know is next on NFL Network back here on the Insiders. Oh, this made some buzz in the Big Apple. Russ is going to be cooking with Brian Daball a one year, ten and a half million dollar contracts. So let's consider what this quarterback room looks like. It's Russ, it's Jamis Winston who.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Zach Morris all of a sudden asking two girls to prom and now you don't know which one you're gonna take. You're gonna go with Russell Wilson. But really, Adam more upset for Elik Neighbors. I thought, with Jameis Winston in there, we're going to see an opportunity for Elite Neighbors to get like two hundred targets, and he was gonna go out there and dominate the fantasy world. Instead we have Russell Wilson, who's gonna be out there ruining everything for everybody. I was, I was, honestly, Mike, I was. I was on the cusp of saying that Elik Neighbors should be the first wide receiver off the board. Now with Russell Wilson, I'm gonna I'm gonna dial it back in that I'm.

Not quite there yet.

Not quite there yet.

I'm still very ambitious about in the Leak Neighbors this season. I would have liked it a lot more with Jameis Winston because Jamis loves to just focus in on one guy. Jamis would have thrown for about four thousand yards, three thousand of them going to the Lak Neighbors. Now, I don't know what the Giants are thinking, but it's not gonna be as fun.

So rig you seem to think, and I can sort of tell creeping into your deranged little brain over there, that the Giants are not going to take a quarterback in the draft because they did, as you mentioned, as two girls to the promin Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

I mean, obviously, nobody will ever do an offseason hard knocks again because the Giants thinking was kind of exposed. They let Saquon Berkley not even go to not just go to the Philadelphia Eagles, go to the Philadelphia.

So now they're gonna sit there and they're going to overreact, like anybody that's gone to Atlantic City. You thought you had a perfect system for blackjack, and then within twenty minutes you lost all your money. You're going back to the ATM trying to get it all back with one thing. This is what the Giants are gonna do. They're gonna go out there. They're gonna draft Ashton genty. Hope that everybody forgets that Sakuan Barkley won a Super Bowl last year, go replace that production with the younger guy.

I'll tell you what hey, you know what, if they want to trade down to ten, let the Bears come up and take Ashton genty go. Then you could take Jackson Dart at number ten, although you know what, the Bears will maneuver around that and take out Dual Carter. Oh wait, no, I'm playing out too many scenarios. I'm sorry.

And by the way, I and you gave one of those that the Giants might try to move up to grab one of these quarterbacks on the heck, if Abdul Carter gets taken in one of those first two picks, maybe the g men get one of those guys. Complete side note here, I thought it was always Kelly Kapowski. I don't remember a second ask to the prom for Zach Morris, So you and I can.

Yeah, it's all about Kelly Kabowski. Just throwing that out there. From my childhood days. Stefan Diggs, we heard from him, Adam, he's now wearing a Patriots uniform. I feel like I'm gonna get trouble when I get home for making that come. Probably what are the Patriots thinking here?

One of the Patriots? You know what, Actually, I think the Patriots are on the right spot. I think they needed to go out there and get some veteran leadership, at least a veteran presence for Drake Mey. You got to go out You cannot sit there and rely on Kendrick Bourne to be your number one wide receiver. Hunter Henry great players, but still you need a bona fide number one wide receiver. And I still believe that Stefan Diggs could be that guy to Obviously, he suffered an acl pierre last year, I think it was Week eight against the Colts, goes out there, going through rehabit, doing all that stuff. But now he comes up into a pretty good situation. I think it's going to be great for Drake May last year, a guy who's kind of overlooked, you know, Jade Daniels obviously the rookie of the year. Kayleb Williams now has the rebuilt offensive line. Don't sleep on Drake may what he's going to be able to do with the New England Patriots. I think this is a great move by both the player and the team.

Let me take you in a little bit of a different direction here, do for us a favor, peer into the darkness and look into the future. For Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously russ sins with the Giants, Rodgers options are dwindling. It seem like the Vikings are not focused on him right now. Where does it stand with Rogers and the Steelers.

They need a quarterback, he needs a team.

They need a quarterback, he needs a team.

However, I think for Aaron Rodgers, the better thing, the thing that he's probably trying to play, is the long game, because if there is something that Aaron Rodgers loves is skipping training camp and not being a part of it. If he sits out, he kind of puts himself into a position like Joe Flacco is in a couple of years ago, where he doesn't report a training camp, doesn't play in the first couple of weeks of the season, then all of a sudden, the Cleveland Browns need a quarterback. He rides to the rescue. And if there is something Aaron Rodgers loves more than missing training camp, it's being wanted, being a hero, beating into his god complex that somebody's gonna somebody's gonna come begging.

Aaron Rodgers is the same guy who that any time you give like an e bye too is got to hit maybe, I guess so people have to beg him to show, Oh you're not gonna go to Kelly's party? Why not please go? It's not the same. He is that person and everybody knows somebody.

Like how did we get here? How do we get here? Find out?

I'm bringing it full circle now. But I think that he's waiting, and I think there might be an opportunity that presents itself during the season. It feels like there always is, so for Aaron Rodgers, he might not need to take the first opportunity that comes his way. He might be able to wait it out and find something better later on.

Okay, well, look at the analogy. Still worked for you, Adam wore from you, and Ian coming up in just a bit. Cam Ward, well, you know he balled out this week at his pro day. He spoke to the Titans website about being the top pick and said, quote, I told them I'm solidifying it today. The quarterback might have done exactly that. As for where some of our mocks have Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis, and Bucky Brooks all sitting at number one for QB one, potentially for the Tennessee Titans. For what it's worth, Lancerline has him going third overall, and if I'm not mistaken, I don't know which mocket was. It might have been Lance's last mock, Shador Sanders, he has going twenty ninth overall. So Lance might be looking at the quarterback position a little bit differently than the rest of our experts. Getting back to cam Ward Our Cam Wolfe was actually at his pro day, got a first hand seat to see some of those rows. Not to mention you talked to him after practice. So Cam lay the foundation for me for NFL teams that were there, and there's certainly some good personnel that we're watching some of these throws. What did that workout do for his stock?

Well, most of all, it checked another box that cam Ward's likely to be the number one overall picking this draft.

You alluded to it before. His confidence.

You alluded to it before. His confidence.

There was a moment in that pro day where he comes over to the Titans brass and says, I'm solidifying gets to day. That's the composure of the confidence he's shown throughout the cycle. He's been clear that he's the best quarterback in the draft, and as a Michael has going on, more and more teams have joined in that consensus that cam Ward is the best quarterback in this class.

And now the Titans have a decision.

And now the Titans have a decision.

Do you sit there and take him at number one, which seems to be the path they're going, or do you continue to listen to offers for teams like the New York Giants who were at that pro day, and I saw Joe Shane, their general manager, talking to the Titans general manager Mike Borganzi. Can they convince them with enough draft capital to do a trade or do they finally sit there and get their quarterback of the future. They had a private workout with cam Ward today. There's about five or six people and valled them told including their head coach Brian Callahan and their general manager, another impressive showing for cam Ward and that they've got more and more time with them. Sunday night before the Pro Day, they met with them at Carbone Arrest of them are down in South Florida and now they're doing another meeting here. It's just another checking of the box to convince themselves no matter what they get after, can they still feel comfortable taking cam Ward as their pick their quarterback.

Yeah.

The more we do some of our mock draft lives, the more you realize he's checking more and more boxes. And you watch the film, Got Some You got a tremendous arm talent, and I think it's subundantly obvious.

He's six two hundred pounds, runs a four to four to three, and he transferred to Florida after three years at Arizona State. Played with eleven quarterbacks throughout his tenure, but he showed scouts on that pro day that he can play inside at receiver, play outside receiver, and he can run essentially any route that you want to do.

A little bit of a speed sure as well. Cam, You're always the best man. I always appreciate your and fight insight and looking forward to having you back on with us on Insiders next week. Meanwhile, speaking of the NFL Draft and some really talented players that are available, well, Penn State's got a tight end named Tyler Warren who could be the first tight end taken in the NFL Draft. One hundred and four receptions this past year, second at FBS play and a Penn State single season school record. Did not participate in the drills at his pro day, But here's how it stacks up according to Bucky Brooks and those top five tight end prospects, not a huge surprise to see Tyler Warren at the top of that list. Brian Baldinger, we heard him earlier because he was hanging out with Abduel Carter at that pro day.
