My only complaint about New Heights is how often Travis tries to shoe horn in his McConaughey "all right now” impression. Once I noticed it, it’s almost unbearable. 

Take a drink every time Travis says that or "electric" or "played their tail off" and you will be in a great mood by the end of the podcast.

There isn't much for WR in the draft, but one that sticks out in the late rounds could be Matt Landers out of Arkansas. He ran a 4.37 at the combine, and has some pretty good measurable.

Arkansas didn't have much of a passing game since they were so dominate with the run, and KJ Jefferson isn't much of a passer, but he put up some pretty good numbers there. He's kind of a late bloomer and was a redshirt senior, played at Toledo and Georgia before he finished his career with Arkansas.

No way "Matt Landers" is a real person

I’m kind of onboard with this philosophy without completely neglecting the defense. I’m not saying take a guy like Bijan Robinson at 10, but if you can trade back and a prime receiver is there, I wouldn’t be mad at it. I could see this being their philosophy in the draft and then filling the defensive holes with Hargrave 2020 types of deals. Zach Allen might be a candidate for that. They can do that at safety as well and use one of the first rounders on a corner. 

Zach Allen is exactly the type of guy they should sign. Completely forgot he was a FA until someone here mentioned him yesterday.

If they're looking for a 3T who'll be above average but replaceable in case Milton Williams emerges, it's Matt Ioannidis all freaking day. Honestly I'd probably sign him regardless. Whoever gets him will get incredible value.

My other guy is Devin Singletary. Dude's gonna prove to the detractors he can be big time next year. Don't know what the disconnect was in Buffalo.

Every little bit will help this year. Just hoping it's for the right players. Big year for Howie. He got pretty lucky last year by going after Ridley and Robinson first. Stepped in crap with AJ and completely reshaped the offense. 

Has desai done an intro presser yet?

Angelo and I miss you wussbasket. What happened to the Eagles chat?

I guess the Eagles could no longer afford it, or maybe us being in the chat made it too difficult for them to manage. They eventually axed the whole board and now here we are.

Find yourself people like cardinals fans who will defend Kyler murray to no end even though he’s overrated as F and will never win anything. Living out here it’s hilarious hearing gotta give him a chance like 4 years in he hasn’t been and Gannon is gonna unlock him. 

Best outcome is Gannon f'ing guts him.

Bradberry getting cut at the last minute was a huge stroke of luck too. He put himself in a position to get lucky but still stepped in it as you say

Yes that is true too. You can't count on luck every off-season either. And they cannot blow this draft. Can not draft the Dillards, Reagors, Taylors, Whitesides type players. 

Slay, hello.

 

Knew this was coming.

We don't have to trade or extend him. But if a team wants to offer us a 2 or a 3, bless them.

"I can’t wait to meet the new DC, man,” Slay said. "Because I’m gonna tell you, knowing the new DC, it can be tough or it can be easy. You know what I’m saying? And I’m one of them guys that’s going to make it easy for him. I’m going to go in here, willing to learn, willing to figure out how he wants his defense ran. Because me being a leader and a captain on this team, that’s my job to do, make sure everyone is buying into the program.”

 

That escalated quickly.

Looks like he already has 3 void years on his current contract

I’m guessing slay wants a new deal and the eagles at his age are not willing to give him a new one. He’s essentially playing on a 1 year contract and he’s unhappy about it. I’m guessing he’s likely going to figure out no team is gonna give him what he’s looking for at 32 and new extension not kicking in until he turns 33 

Cap savings if traded?
