HR3 - Falcons 2026 expectations should be tempered after early free agent signings
In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to grade Atlanta Falcons General Manager Ian Cunningham’s free agency moves so far, explain why they think Cunningham’s early free agency moves signal that the Falcons are starting a soft rebuild, react to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh saying there's "no beef" between him and Seattle Mariners teammate Randy Arozarena, who unleashed an expletive-laced screed after Raleigh declined to dap him up before an at-bat in the United States' World Baseball Classic game against Mexico on Monday night, explain why they think Arozarena shouldn't be upset that Cal Raleigh didn't dap him up before hit at-bat, and continue to react to the Las Vegas Raiders announcing yesterday that the Baltimore Ravens have "backed out" of a trade agreement that would have sent All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby to Baltimore in exchange for two first-round picks because of medical concerns that arose during a physical. Then Mike, Beau, and Ali close out hour three by spending some time with senior NFL writer for Outkick and Fox News Armando Salguero! Mike, Beau, Ali, and Armando discuss the Baltimore Ravens backing out of the Maxx Crosby trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, how the Ravens backing out of the Maxx Crosby trade with the Raiders will affect the Ravens doing business with other teams, players, and players’ agents moving forward, what Armando thinks Tua Tagovailoa has left in the tank, Tua not deserving all the blame for his and the Miami Dolphins struggles last season, the Minnesota Vikings having interest in quarterback Kyler Murray, but the Arizona Cardinals kind of holding Kyler Murray hostage because they’re trying to hold out hope that they’ll be able to trade him and not just release him, if Armando thinks Kirk Cousins or Kyler Murray would be a better fit in the Minnesota Vikings offense as their starting quarterback, and if Armando thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will trade defensive lineman Jalen Carter.
