 Another day's of OTA's guys brought us some really beautiful sights. This oh my gosh. This is amazing This is this isn't this is incredible I love the slo-mo right at the end to to really get that toe tap. It's turbo. I would be proud. Yeah, little toe drag swag there Jamar Chase Gosh, we also got amazing sounds though. We got to hear from a lot of stars around the league As they you know, they sort of warm up in front of the mics at OTA's we haven't heard from them in a while We got Rodgers on Tuesday and yesterday we got more quarterbacks Let's start with Lamar Jackson here after some overreactions to not being at the Ravens camp earlier this Week he was there. He talked about the importance of being there to learn the new offense We heard an exciting Lamar when it came to discussing Todd Monkin's system And he gave us a little insight into what's going to be different this year You know, let's run in and more throne. I say, you know I hear a lot of knows about throwing and stuff like this yarns to achieve and stuff But I'm not really worried about yards as much as it's about us just winning So that'll be all the winning category of anything running I go running can only take you so far, you know And I feel like with this new era of teams and offenses in the league I feel like we need that in coach Todd Monkin when I'm sitting his offense so far is looking tremendous You know, you can change things when you want to you know, you see the defense is not looking right to you Um, she's some God blicks in you might want to receive her to do something different Coach giving you the free way to do whatever you want to I Literally love everything he's saying because it's I'm you know full of myself and Narcissistic and it's exactly what I said. So he's agreeing with me completely. I have said for years Yeah, yeah, and if you want to say I've heard I've worked with a lot of people that wanted to say run the ball It's what you do. It's what you do best go and that's okay. It's not okay if you want to win a Super Bowl It's just not Lamar saying less running more throwing more downfield passing more control for Lamar That's exactly what I wanted to hear before the OC search even started Yeah, and this even goes back a couple of years because I remember there was the argument of you know running help them are get The MVP it gets the Ravens to the playoffs, but your argument was always it's not about the playoffs It's about winning Super Bowls But we really jumped out to me there was you mentioned the control and Lamar talked about having the keys to the Offense and being able to make checks at the line or scrimmage and that was something that was really curious to me Basically, he's saying in Greg Roman system He wasn't allowed to audible and make adjustments at the line Which is kind of crazy for me for a quarterback now going into his fifth year I'm interested to ask Gronk about that and see what he has to say because obviously he was with a quarterback Who was the best at making checks at the line of scrimmage and their whole offense was kind of predicated on that? How much of a difference it can make in this Ravens offense giving Lamar that type of freedom and getting those kinds of weapons Odell's a Bateman Andrews I mean we've been waiting for this version of Lamar to be unleashed for literally five years, so We also guys heard from from this other one MVP to another Patrick Mahomes yesterday guys there have been rumblings about him getting another Extension or redoing it or whatever that might look like he addressed his approach to those negotiations Very thoughtless. He always does. He's a master at the microphone and here's some of the highlights from that I've always said I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment But I'm I know we keep communication. We see what's going on around the league But the same time I'll never do anything that's gonna hurt us from keeping the great players around me So it's kind of teetering around that line You just want to do whatever did not hurt other quarterbacks whenever they get their contracts come up But you want to kind of keep the bar pushing and so it's not about being the highest-paid guy It's not about making a ton of money. I've made enough money where I'll be set for the rest of my life But at the same time you got to find that line where you're making a good amount of money But you're still keeping a lot of great players around you so you can win these Super Bowls and you're able to compete in these games it's so Complicated and it's a polarizing conversation and people, you know, what it's what it's how do you value a few million? It's almost that how do you value a few million when you have 20 and when you don't you know when you have 40 when you have 60 Like what is it's a and and he makes it a bigger deal He's going macro what it means for the landscape of Quarterbacks getting paid and broke off in the league for years to come if he takes a little it's wild And so it sounds a little bit like they're keeping tabs on it Joe Borough getting a contract is gonna have an effect on what Patrick Mahomes's team and his side are gonna talk to the Chiefs about and my goodness This is super interesting and there's kind of three elements to this right I mean first off after this second MVP and this second ring I think we can all agree Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the national football league right now But if you look at the way these contracts are going take a look here He slipped all the way to seventh the seventh highest paid quarterback in the league on a per year basis He took he took a he took a discount if you look at it Not scary at all about two months after he signed it which is great And he'll move tonight by the way when Borough and Herbert signing he'll move up to almost out of the top ten as far as quarterback Circumstances, it's crazy. Yeah, that's me fixed at some point. He knows that they know what I like that They're talking I like that they're talking about it. Yeah God, please none of that talk about it Yeah, he doesn't need to scrap for every cent He sort of said that alluded to that like he says he's pretty much set for life regardless But you do want to make sure you're getting a fair value for you and whoever's behind you and That's insane. It's supposed to be tough. What do you think? Yeah, no, I think you know It's just an interesting position that he's in now because he's kind of saying all the right thing But there's no like easy answer right because no matter what he does You know if he takes the full value the other quarterbacks are happy. Yeah But you know it could hurt his team if he takes the less it helps his team But then the other quarterbacks like dude you hurt my bargaining power now Because there's no way I'm gonna get paid more than you so you like put a cap on what we can make so and I know Chris Jones Well, let's talk about these players. I know Chris Jones wants to essentially take me through this and like what's going because the whole thing Is about how do I become flexible with these players exactly and when you look at over the next two years? basically all their key players Other than Travis Kelsey are due for new deals and Chris Jones is the one they really want to get done right now But he mentions even in that press conference of the Jerry's Snead is a big point emphasis and then you look at 2025 I mean Creed home free and Trace Smith have both been such a crucial part of this team being able to revamp its offense Without Tyree kill that offense line have been so strong and then obviously a bunch of pieces to that defense too So there are a lot of deals are gonna have to work out So, you know if he's able to give the team flexibility with this new contract It's gonna help them stay in contention, and if he doesn't that roster is gonna start to erode pretty quickly I didn't think he'd mention The third part of it, which is the how does it affect other quarterbacks down the pipeline like should he care? That's the sort of how much should I look into that? How much of that is even true? Yeah, he takes the team friendly deal. So looking into that Let's say my home's guys takes an extension for 40 million a year, right? That will mess up the market. Yeah So are the quarterbacks and sort of hurt their ability to negotiate new deals It seems like my home sort of embraced this responsibility and it I mean I know it's like kind of a first-world problem But it's kind of tough to you know have to take your family your team the entire quarterback position into account in this is a lot And it's the fact that he says it It's a weird thing for him to say if it's not something that's on his mind in his heart Yeah, for sure and yeah as he said the way these teams look in negotiations They're gonna be like oh my home's only making for you're not getting paid more than my homes It does happen yeah, but okay I have to bring something else up in all this because you've called me a sicko for some of my deep off-season dives But there was some real serious sicko stuff going on this Kansas City press conference from both the media and my home's The first question the first one when he gets up to the podium Was about Blaine Gabbard and even sicker listen to his answer Since he's been in the building he's been a true pro and he's he's came in you can see the talent You see why he was a I think he would believe top 10 draft picker a first round draft pick and the arm strength everything like that And he was just backing up with Tom So I'm asking him for any advice he can give me because if you're learning from that guy you're learning from the right guy So uh, there's another good quarterback good guy that can be in that quarterback room I mean Patrick you're coming off of a second MVP a second Super Bowl ring And you're spending your offseason and trying to pry Tom Brady's secret sauce out of my guy Blaine Gabbard So type of deranged behavior I can really get behind and in all seriousness It really does give you an insight into the mentality and the work ethic that's made mohomes successful that he's Exactly Brady would do that. Can you like I'm sure he would and we can ask ronk about it I mean, I don't know why Patrick mohomes doesn't just join the fan dual family Like we'd like and then you could just phone rob gronkowski and say tell me everything that Tom Brady ever did and said You know, we could just be a really easier streamline than you having to bother Blaine Gabbard about it. I'm just saying That's a great point. I'm just saying when I think of Blaine Gabbard I think of obviously Miss you would ask the why why the shorts come to my mind Oh, the short shorts. He likes to show off the legs Is that literally why I think of gym shorts. Yeah, yeah What that's that's what's in my mind. What's in gronk's mind? We're gonna go missus frizzle style into the brain of rob gronkowski after this great stuff from hamilton We heard from marge action. We heard from Patrick mohomes. Aaron rogers got hurt being like a mule Okay. All right cast on from beauty and the beast is on next
