With the release of the MLB The Show video game approaching in a few weeks, we examine the ratings of the leading Phillies players featured in the game. The top four athletes are familiar names, but the fifth position is occupied by relief pitcher Matt Strahm, which has taken the team by surprise.

(11:07 -19:20)

The Question of the Day addresses the likelihood of Josh Sweat and Milton Williams departing from the Eagles. It inquires which player would be more challenging to replace. Tyrone asserts that the loss of Josh Sweat would be the most significant setback for the team.

(19:40 -31:35 )

There appears to be a consensus among some that Jaylx Hunt should succeed Josh Sweat; however, Tyrone advocates for a more experienced player to fill this role. He would favor the addition of either Myles Garrett or Kahlil Mack to the roster. Ricky is increasingly inclined towards acquiring Garrett, recognizing that his presence would significantly enhance the Eagles' performance.

(31:40-44:00)

As the show concludes, we examine the texts and the Twitter poll results. The majority of respondents indicated that Brandon Graham's decision to play in the Super Bowl despite tearing his triceps represents the most significant adversity faced by a player in Philadelphia's history.

The name of the game is to resign and draft players that can replace snaps left by free agents. This raises the question of whether fans and the media are underappreciating the challenges involved in replacing these athletes.

(13:37-20:40)

The Eagles are likely to experience significant depth loss in both their defensive and offensive lines during free agency. Addressing these issues will prove challenging, as the constraints of the salary cap will restrict the team's potential moves.

(20:40-32:42)

(0:00-13:03)

The team expresses satisfaction regarding the re-signing of linebacker Zack Baun by the Eagles, acknowledging that he has received the compensation he rightfully deserves. Additionally, there are disparaging remarks directed at Josh Sweat and Milton Williams, suggesting that their success is primarily attributed to their association with Jalen Carter.

(13:03-21:03)

Zack Baun found himself in a favorable position regarding the Eagles, as Nakobe Dean's injury and Oren Burks' impending free agency provided him with a significant advantage. This represents a crucial opportunity for Baun to secure a substantial contract, making his return for the next season particularly advantageous. According to Ricky, possessing such leverage during contract negotiations is a dream scenario for any player.

(21:03-32:38)

Tyrone is quite wary of relying on the younger players to fill the roles of Sweat and Williams. Their inexperience raises concerns about their trustworthiness, indicating that they require additional time for development. He would consider resigning Javon Hargrave should the 49ers decide to release him.

(32:38-40:49)

It is possible that individuals are expressing negative opinions about Williams and Sweat as a means of coping with their departure as free agents. Previously, both players received considerable admiration, yet public sentiment appears to be shifting.

Tyrone encourages listeners to reflect on athletes who were undervalued during their tenure in Philadelphia. The Giants failed to recognize the potential of running back Saquon Barkley, while many overlooked quarterback Jalen Hurts during the Super Bowl.

(7:51-16:53)

ESPN published an article forecasting the destinations of free agents in the NFL as the league year commences next week. The piece outlines potential offers and the teams likely to secure these players, specifically highlighting Josh Sweat and Milton Williams. According to the article, Sweat is expected to join the Commanders, while Williams is projected to sign with the Vikings

(16:53-27:13)

The conversation persists regarding the potential underestimation of the challenges involved in replacing Josh Sweat and Milton Williams, particularly in an offseason where many advocate for minor adjustments by the Eagles. Tyrone believes that substituting this pair will prove challenging, suggesting that the Eagles should consider a significant acquisition for the defensive line to sustain their competitive edge.

(27:13-36:01)

In a significant development, the Eagles have re-signed linebacker Zack Baun to a three-year contract valued at $51 million, with $36 million guaranteed. Additionally, we feature audio from Darius Slay, who indicated that he would consider returning to the Eagles if the financial terms are favorable.
