 NFL free agency starts today not official legal tampering they call it and We bring in our own GM former gym of the Jets and the dolphins our good friend Mike Tannenbaum Mike first off. How are you doing Michael Don and Peter here? Hey guys good to be with you. Hopefully everyone's Absolutely, please explain something that's might be our brain. What were the Houston Texans doing? We can't figure it out Maybe you can Yeah, you know we give up elite receivers like they just did I would say Looking at the board. They were just they really needed Helping a lot of places. They're going back to back years of no draft choices in the top 50. So I think for them They needed cap room. They needed draft choices in the worst way So if healthy William Fuller case fills are explosive, but still at the end of day, you're giving up an elite player Was there any other dance partner could they have gotten maybe a better package from someone? Or was this really the best they could have possibly done? Yeah, I Think it's a really fair fair point. I mean when you're talking about an elite player who's 27 years old under contract for three More years, but I think candidly he wanted a new deal So that was I think one of the reasons they had a move them is they have to pay tonsil because they gave up So much in that trade with Miami So I think they were kind of backed into a corner and try to minimize their losses Does Eric Flowers deal with Miami make the Giants look bad that they couldn't fix them? Well, you were at developmental league and Bill Callahan the offensive line coach at Washington Obviously, you know did wonders with him because he was a big strong county guy That's why the Giants took him early and you know Miami. Obviously, you know I'll say going back a number of years has like even we drafted to Berkshire Ferguson and McDonald's You know, do you want to finish parks overnight? They both went up having really really good careers But sometimes with offense linemen it does take a while But was that a luxury the Giants couldn't afford to have because they were in that win now mode if they had drafted him And they were a lousy football team which they ended up being anyway But could they have worked harder with him or was just a case of we don't have the time because we need to find a way To get Eli one more ring Yeah, that's the old awesome You want to wait for today and develop for tomorrow and sometimes that's hard to do and And sometimes you give up on a player too soon and they go on and do what you know, really good things someplace else So it's hard to keep it up on young offense linemen Where's Tom Brady ending up? You know my god Mike has always been he was going back, you know I could be proven wrong here in the next day or so, but I think that gives them the best chance to win and I think if David Andrews their talented center comes back from illness and they tag to me today and they got a really good young left tackle I say a win. I still think that line is really underrated and we'll see what happens But my gut is he goes back. I know hypotheticals are exactly that But if you were to hear he wasn't going back to New England, where do you think the logical place would be for him? I would say the charger's just from a standpoint of you're starting a production company He's West Coast guy, you know at his roots and you know I think they would have to fix their offense line, which they started to with the trade trade Turner But I think there's a lot of things Kirk Cousins seems like he has unbelievable timing Mike He's made an awful lot of money and I look at him and I say this is not an elite quarterback Has he played the market perfectly? Yeah, you know it's applying the moon. He's a big quarterback and a great quarterback and he's You know been able to obviously you know cash in I think you made there's something remarkable I'll tell you guys like he made something like 2.1 million dollars in this Mike is there any hope any chance that the Jets can keep Robbie Anderson? Yeah, I think so I think what's helping their cause right now is the fact that there's so many good receivers in this draft It's almost just stark so if you're another team and you need a receiver This is not the year that you have to stretch do that You know what we saw today with Austin Cooper going from Atlanta Cleveland was a great example There's no tight ends in this draft So you know the tight ends where they get overpaid Hunter Henry by the chargers was franchise So I think I'm the Jets on Robbie Anderson as much as I want to keep them I don't think you have to be anxious because there's so many good receivers in this year's draft I'm Mari Cooper is a free agent. They they franchise Dak Do you think the Cowboys have a chance to keep them or is he gonna get big money somewhere else? I think he's they screwed up. I thought they should extend him the day They got him to give up a first-round pick in October of 2018 and now they can have no player No first round pick the best times you do an extension is when you make the trade That's what the coast assisted with the forest Buckner and the Cowboys put themselves in the corner now try to think Give me some logical reason why the Giants Traded for Leonard Williams and just didn't wait to get him in free agency because aren't they backed into a corner where they can't afford Now to lose them because of the truth because of the trade Yeah, or likewise, they certainly try to extend them as part of the trade say hey We have agreement principle on tree compensation and we need to get an extension done as part of it because I think you're right Like now they have to pay him every day. They gave him a normal sliver try franchising And each you can I'm sorry Michael any chance that Stefan digs ends up somewhere else or is he locked in there? Because based on his Twitter earlier today, he does not seem thrilled about the Cousins extension Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he was someplace else seems like that that situation's been real noisy for a while And you know we talked about that earlier on ESPN and I wouldn't be surprised if he was someplace else in the couple days Kalei Campbell a fifth round pick from the Ravens. That looks like a great deal to me. Am I missing something? Yeah, it is. I mean the only thing is you know, it's only he could break down because of age But you know, I think Jackson will probably would have cut him I think if you're Baltimore, you have a depict to secure the player then you then you tweak his contract Which they were able to do but I think that makes that defense line a lot better quickly I think Campbell's a really really good player, you know very good inside pass rusher You know with the crisis going on some not myself or Peter or Michael believe it's wrong But do you think it's a bad optic that the NFL is conducting business as usual? Do you think they should have delayed things? I didn't they should have delayed things I think you know the health and safety of the people in our country right now is the priority and this game's been great to everybody Myself for me my family But there's also has to be a time and place to have a voice of reason and to put these players on planes on Wednesday to take Physicals makes no sense to me Or is it these guys to hospitals get MRIs where you know, there are literally people dying So we saw in 2011 where we had the draft and free agency and you know We're able to continue players still justifiably got paid what they should have so not only do I think the optics are bad I just think it's inappropriate. I Know you have to get back on TV Mike. Thanks for covering out some time for us Oh, you guys are the best appreciate it and stay safe everybody Same to you. You know that that's a part of it. I didn't think don but I mean you don't
