John is joined by Colin Cowherd (Host of The Herd and Colin Cowherd Podcast) to discuss his first interview with Tom Brady, and if he’s leaving the window open for another return, and if Sean Payton can turn the Broncos into a playoff team in his first year . They also look ahead to the Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl LVII matchup, including where a second Super Bowl win would put Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes’ in the hierarchy of all-time NFL greats, if Jalen Hurts health is still a major factor. They also touch on the breakdown of contract negotiations between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, if he could force a trade elsewhere, which teams are the best fit for Derek Carr, and how much the Raiders should give up to get Aaron Rodgers.

John discusses what a second Super Bowl win would mean for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid’s place in NFL history, and why a 2nd title for Eagles GM Howie Roseman after his franchise reboot could place him among the all-time front office execs. He also looks at what teams should be interested in Derek Carr, if Lamar Jackson could be done with the Ravens as contract negotiations reportedly deteriorate, and why the NFL won’t kill the Pro Bowl despite social media complaining.

John discusses why the Broncos deserve credit for dealing draft picks to land Sean Payton, and why it’s worth the risk for Payton, if he can turn around Russell Wilson after a disaster season, and why he’s a believer in DeMeco Ryans turning around the dysfunctional Texans. He gives Tom Brady some due respect after his second retirement announcement, and explains why he was never going to the Niners, why a Rodgers/Packers divorce finally feels like a done deal, and why Jerry Jones went all-in on Mike McCarthy.
