Hour 4: Silver & Krueger get back into NFL talk with Mike Tannenbaum to close out the week. Tannenbaum's perspective as both an ESPN insider and former NFL general manager are valuable to gain a better understanding of which transactions -- or, in the case of Maxx Crosby to Baltimore, lack thereof -- will prove to be the most consequential. The guys close the show by taking a look at the best remaining available free agents, many of whom are at the older phases of their careers.

Hour 3: Silver & Krueger switch gears over to baseball and work through the prospect of having Bryce Eldridge begin the season on the opening day roster. While Eldridge has a concerning 32 percent strikeout rate in the Cactus League, is hard contact, first base defense, and lack of booming production from his competition are all reasons to consider giving him a spot in the lineup on March 25. They also respond to Murph's take that Logan Webb's start tonight in the World Baseball Classic will be the biggest of his career.

Hour 2: Silver & Krueger replay Colin Cowherd's sound bite from earlier in the week about the 49ers roster's age and comparing their approach to that of the Golden State Warriors. Silver makes the point that while the Niners need to get younger, free agency doesn't have to be the time to address that. Matt Maiocco stops by for his weekly hit to react to this past week's news and an eventful past 24 hours on the 49ers front.

Hour 1: Greg Silver & Larry Krueger open up Friday by reacting to yesterday's news of Dre Greenlaw returning to the 49ers on a 1-year, $7.5 million deal. The guys take your calls and ask whether or not you like this move for the offseason, or if Greenlaw's recent injury history is the exact thing that this team should avoid. They also discuss the signing of cornerback Nate Hobbs, who has shown promise but also struggled to stay on the field in Green Bay last season.

Mike Tannenbaum, ESPN Insider and former NFL General Manager, joins Silver & Krueger to assess the Ravens backing out of their trade for Maxx Crosby and whether that will hurt Eric DeCosta's ability to do business for future transactions. Tannenbaum also explains why the Vikings signing Kyler Murray could be the most consequential move of the entire NFL offseason and revisits his proposal from radio row that the 49ers should try to extend Mac Jones rather than trade him.
