The Hoffman Show

With Ja’Marr Chase securing a historic four-year, $161 million deal to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, Craig and Anthony dive into what this means for the league moving forward.

Could other elite players demand $40 million per year? Is this a trend limited to wide receivers, or could we see players at other positions—like pass rushers or left tackles—break the bank next? Craig and Anthony debate the positional value factor and speculate on who might be the next non-QB to command a record-breaking contract.

After honoring Feinstein’s legacy, Craig and Clinton dive into NFL free agency, breaking down the biggest winners and losers so far.

Craig kicks off the show with the latest free agency updates for Washington. The Commanders have added offensive lineman Nate Herbig, bolstering their depth up front. Meanwhile, former Commanders edge rusher Dante Fowler is heading back to the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year, $8 million deal. Craig breaks down what Herbig brings to Washington’s offensive line and whether losing Fowler impacts the team’s defensive depth.
