Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk NFL!

They start with Matthew Stafford deciding to stay in LA, debate whether the Rams asking price of a 1st round pick was too steep, and explain why Stafford would be crazy to leave the Rams in pursuit of more money (2:45).  

They discuss the pending roster cuts the Eagles are facing after their Super Bowl win and debate whether the Eagles should keep linebacker Zack Baun or wide receiver A.J. Brown or cut/trade both in order to keep their dominant offensive and defensive lines intact (10:30). 

They talk about how the infusion of NIL money has changed the game when drafting “celebrity quarterbacks” from college and why it’s given more leverage to prospects, and whether  Shedeur Sanders could overplay his hand in that environment (17:30). 

They discuss Jerry Jones’ skipping his typical press conference at the combine after the Deebo Samuel to the Commanders move, why Dak’s contract will sink America’s Team and why Dallas might draft a quarterback in an early round (28:45).  

They break down why the ambiguity surrounding Sam Darnold’s future is just the Vikings doing Sam a “solid” after a great season, and predict the Vikings will end up rolling with J.J. McCarthy (38:00). 

They discuss the top quarterback prospects and why their landing spot will matter and compare them to recent prospects with tremendous physical gifts like Jalen Milroe and Anthony Richardson, and why those types of prospects rarely hit (41:15).

They talk about the legacy of Jimmy Johnson after announcing his retirement from broadcasting at FOX and why as both a coach and broadcaster, he’s had a lasting impact on the NFL (50:00). 

Finally, Colin addresses the “California Haters” ahead of his move to Chicago and asks John about his move out of California to Arizona, whether he has any regrets and whether the state will have to make changes in order to continue being an engine of innovation (1:00:45).
