Hey! What about those New York Giants? To get the front-office perspective on GM Joe Schoen's plan, we bring on co-host Jim Monos. The Bills decided to still tear things down after winning nine games in 2017. Why did Schoen choose a different path?
We discuss. We meander.
The old Rex Ryan Bills enter the chat with Monos reliving the Percy Harvin signing. Somehow, Janoris Jenkins and Cliff Harris from the 2012 draft are brought up. The crazy Florida Gators days, too. And the Atlanta Falcons sure didn't hesitate to spend. Then again, they're quarterbacked by Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke at the moment. Bold strategy.

What a week for the New York Giants. GM Joe Schoen was able to lock up Daniel Jones, and the contract is more team-friendly than you may think. Saquon Barkley sticks around on the tag. And they hope they found a new featured weapon in the passing game: tight end Darren Waller.
To dive into it all, I'm joined by Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News. He's an NFL columnist, a Giants beat writer and the host of his own podcast, "Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talkin-ball-with-pat-leonard/id1642747025

We check in with the exceptional Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated to see why the New York Jets are taking on the massive risk that is... Aaron Rodgers.
After signs of decline in 2022 -- and general apathy -- it's fair to wonder if the four-time MVP is finished. So, why add a potentially malignant quarterback to a talented roster? GM Joe Douglas has a good thing going. Orr brings a wealth of knowledge on the Jets and, particularly, OC Nathaniel Hackett. Be sure to read all of his work at SI: https://www.si.com/author/conor-orr

The Packers president says what Go Long readers have known -- the team is moving on to Jordan Love. A trade must be close given Mark Murphy's comments at the Wisconsin girls state basketball tournament. It doesn't get much more honest than this.
On a solo pod, I get into Murphy's comments, the blockbuster trade between Carolina and Chicago and why Miami picked up Tua Tagovailoa's fifth-year option.

The case of Lamar Jackson is... curious. We examine an odd tag deadline day for the Ravens quarterback. Why did so many teams immediately declare their disinterest? The Ravens don't want to use Jimmy Haslam's deal as a blueprint but they should have never let it get to this point.
Also, the New York Giants beat the clock to ink Daniel Jones. Don't be alarmed by that dollar figure.
And what's the latest with Aaron Rodgers?
Live from Fattey Beer Company, we explore it all.

Don't be surprised if Aaron Rodgers waits longer. He's got a lot of leverage here, even if the Packers are itching to move on. For more clarity on the contract situation and Green Bay's exit strategy, I chat with my old pal at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: the excellent Tom Silverstein. He offers two surprise teams that could enter the chat if this drags on, and sheds more light on Jordan Love's development.
Exceptional insight, as always, from the best Packers beat writer going.

There was a Bills bombshell here at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Leslie Frazier is stepping down as the team's defensive coordinator, and plans to return to coaching in 2024. Likely for another team.
The what now? Come again?
To make sense of it all, we plug in co-host Jim Monos. He knows the coach who was added to Buffalo's staff this offseason: Al Holcomb. We also discuss the Continuity vs. Change debate in pro football.
Meanwhile, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said plenty in what he did not say about Aaron Rodgers. That's discussed on the pod, and here's my column from Indy: https://www.golongtd.com/p/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do
