Summary

On today's show, Pat, AJ Hawk, Darius Butler and boys overreact to ALL the pre-free agency pandemonium and of course all the signings that took place during the show while we are live. We open the show recapping the wild news weekend, that started with Geno Smith being traded from the Seahawks to the Raiders, Myles Garrett becoming the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL to stay in Cleveland, Bills QB Josh Allen being rewarded with $250M guaranteed, WR DK Metcalf being traded from the Seahawks to the Steelers, and more. In the first hour, we chat with the man who negotiated that monster extension with Josh Allen, Bills GM Brandon Beane, who gives us insight into what it's like reaching an agreement like that, Josh Allen's involvement in the Bills' draft process, and more. Also in the first hour, 2x Super Bowl Champion Ben Roethlisberger to talk about the blockbuster trade of Metcalf to the Steelers, who may end up their quarterback, and more. To start the second hour, Rams WR Puka Nacua kicks things off sharing how excited he is to team up with new Rams WR Davante Adams, what his offseason looks like, and how negotiations might go over the #17 jersey number. Also in the second hour, we are joined by NFL Senior Insider Ian Rapaport, for insight on WR Chris Godwin remaining in Tampa Bay, clarity on DT Milton Williams NOT going to the Panthers as previously reported, heading instead to the Patriots for a monster deal, his view on how the Quarterback dominoes falling into place, and more. Throughout the show, news broke like QB Sam Darnold landing a massive deal to join the Seattle Seahawks, QB Justin Fields joining the New York Jets, Josh Sweat joining the Arizona Cardinals, S Cam Bynum heading to the Colts, S Talanoa Hufanga moving to the Broncos, C Drew Dalman joining a reloaded Bears offensive line, CB DJ Reed heading to Detroit, WR Joshua Palmer becoming the latest weapon for the Buffalo Bills, and so much more.
