Favorite NFL draft prospects, Lamar Jackson requests a trade
Charles Robinson joins us from the owner's meetings in Phoenix, Arizona accompanied by Charles McDonald to discuss the biggest news around the meetings, including Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson announcing he requested a trade. Later on, Charles McDonald gives his five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:30 - Lamar Jackson announced he officially has requested a trade. Both hosts agree this doesn't change the dynamic of the current situation much, but it does make it less likely Jackson returns to Baltimore in 2023 unless the Ravens offer the contract he is looking for.16:15 - Charles Robinson gives an update on the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets working out a deal to send Aaron Rodgers to New York. Charles says the two sides aren't far apart, but there are some key disagreements that still need to be worked out before Rodgers becomes a Jet. The Packers are likely looking to get a first-round pick and more out of the deal.26:00 - Charles McDonald goes through the list of his top-five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft: QB Bryce Young, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, EDGE Tyree Wilson, CB Christian Gonzalez and OL Peter Skoronski.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL free agency winners and losers: Lamar Jackson, 49ers, Panthers and more
Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to recap the latest news around NFL free agency, including OT Laremy Tunsil signing a historical extension with the Houston Texans, the Carolina Panthers building around a rookie, Cincinnati Bengals signing OT Orlando Brown Jr, the latest with Lamar Jackson and more before diving into some biggest winners and losers of 2023 NFL free agency.00:25 - Houston Texans make OT Laremy Tunsil the highest-paid OL in NFL history. All agree this is a great signing for Houston, who are likely planning on bringing in a young quarterback in the draft.6:45 - Lamar Jackson is a clear loser of free agency so far. There are no signs that he and the Baltimore Ravens are any closer to reaching a deal. Charles McDonald wonders if the Ravens need to start thinking about life after Lamar if they can't get a deal done by the draft.17:30 - Carolina Panthers are taking care of business and building around the rookie quarterback they're going to draft in April. The group likes their veteran signings, including QB Andy Dalton, RB Miles Sanders, Wr Adam Thielen and TE Hayden Hurst.26:30 - WR Brandin Cooks traded once again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys. Jori thinks he slides in as WR2 from day one.34:25 - Bengals QB Joe Burrow is a winner of free agency as Cincinnati signs OT Orlando Brown Jr. It's a great move for the Bengals, but Brown missed out on a lot more money if he would've signed last year.41:40 - WR Odell Beckham Jr. is a loser of free agency. His market just hasn't materialized the way he'd hoped, and Charles Robinson wonders if OBJ will ever return to the level of play many expect from him.55:35 - Lightning round winners: San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta FalconsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets and NFL free agency takeaways
Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to discuss the latest news around NFL free agency, including Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' statement that he intends to play for the New York Jets, TE Darren Waller's trade to the New York Giants, NFL Draft prospect Jalen Carter's disastrous pro day, Dallas Cowboys releasing star RB Ezekiel Elliott and more.00:20 - Aaron Rodgers announced that he intends to be traded to the New York Jets. The trio discuss how this decision was made for Rodgers, what the expectations are for the Jets now entering 2023 and how Rodgers will be received by the New York sports market.28:55 - Dallas Cowboys release longtime RB Ezekiel Elliott. Jori gives her analysis on why Jerry Jones chose to make this move, what it means for Dallas and their new RB1 Tony Pollard and the best landing spots for Zeke.36:00 - Charles Robinson expresses concern about the number of starters the Philadelphia Eagles have lost so far. It will be interesting to see if the younger players on the roster can step up.39:45 - Las Vegas Raiders trade TE Darren Waller to the New York Giants. This move doesn't make much sense for the Raiders, who seem to be blowing it all up for next season, but it is a very high upside move for New York.46:45 - Charles McDonald wonders what the offseason plan is for the Arizona Cardinals, who have been extremely quiet so far this offseason.53:00 - More free agent signings: Baker Mayfield to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and analysis on why the Denver Broncos have been such big spenders early in free agency.1:03:35 - What should we make of top NFL Draft prospect DL Jalen Carter's disastrous pro day? Carter showed up having gained weight and did not finish his drills, apparently due to fatigue. It is clear that Carter's tough offseason will start to have an effect on his draft position. Charles McDonald gives his take on how far Carter could fall on night one of the 2023 NFL Draft.Join Yahoo Sports' free tourney pick 'em for a shot at $25K: Mens & Women's Printable BracketsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL free agency day one takeaways, Panthers trade up and Jalen Ramsey traded

NFL free agency day one takeaways, Panthers trade up and Jalen Ramsey traded
Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab and Charles McDonald to recap day one of 2023 NFL free agency, discuss the Panthers' bold trade up to first overall in the 2023 NFL Draft and analyze the Dolphins' trade for Jalen Ramsey.00:20 - Aaron Rodgers needs to hurry up. The New York Jets are still awaiting his decision and are putting themselves in a bind with not much of a backup plan if it falls through.10:30 - San Francisco 49ers get aggressive and sign DT Javon Hargrave and QB Sam Darnold. Their defense is looking completely dominant for next season.18:15 - Las Vegas Raiders sign Jimmy Garoppolo. Is this an upgrade? Charles Robinson thinks Jimmy is a much better fit for head coach Josh McDaniels, but Frank and Charles McDonald can't see how this moves the needle for Vegas, especially given the other teams in their division.25:45 - Kansas City Chiefs sign OT Jawaan Taylor and likely plan to move him to left tackle for the 2023 season.31:25 - Atlanta Falcons get aggressive, make OL Chris Lindstrom the highest-paid guard in NFL history and sign SAF Jessie Bates. Frank thinks the moves don't amount to much unless they pursue QB Lamar Jackson.42:00 - Carolina Panthers acquire the first overall pick from the Chicago Bears. All agree that this is a rare win-win trade. Charles Robinson thinks the Panthers don't know yet which quarterback they're planning to take.48:40 - Los Angeles Rams trade CB Jalen Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey still has a few good years left at cornerback and will now be playing with a chip on his shoulder.Join Yahoo Sports' free tourney pick 'em for a shot at $25K: Mens & Women's Printable BracketsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Lamar Jackson's market is hotter than you think & 2023 free agency preview

Lamar Jackson's market is hotter than you think & 2023 free agency preview
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein give their insider analysis on the unique situation with Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and why the initial interest isn't as high as we thought it would be. They also address the New York Giants signing QB Daniel Jones to a huge new contract and give a quick preview of an intriguing 2023 NFL free agent class.00:25 - New York Giants sign QB Daniel Jones to a 4-year, $160M contract and place the franchise tag on RB Saquon Barkley. Was this the right move? How should Giants fans feel about the future?12:00 - Jacksonville Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley wrote a heartfelt "Letter to the Game" where he gave context to the gambling scandal that led to his suspension for the entire 2022 season. Charles and Jori both think the letter is exactly what the doctor ordered and that Ridley could be on his way to a huge comeback in Jacksonville next season.20:50 - The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson, meaning other teams have the opportunity to acquire him if they can agree to a contract. The market has seemed a lot cooler than most would've thought, but Charles is adamant that this is how these things go and Lamar could still very well be on the move. The fact that Lamar represents himself also seems to be hurting him in this situation.48:00 - 2023 free agency preview: Charles and Jori take a thousand-foot view of the upcoming free agent class by discussing the top players available, the best position groups (offensive and defensive line) and which teams are poised to make a splash once the legal tampering period opens.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Lamar Jackson contract talks a disaster, Daniel Jones wants $45M, does Bryce Young's size matter?

Lamar Jackson contract talks a disaster, Daniel Jones wants $45M, does Bryce Young's size matter?
Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab to discuss the biggest NFL news stories swirling around the NFL combine in Indianapolis, including Bryce Young's size measurements, Jalen Carter returning, the Las Vegas Raiders' plans at quarterback, the Baltimore Ravens' negotiations with Lamar Jackson, Daniel Jones' contract talks, Aaron Rodgers and more.00:40 - Does Bryce Young's size actually matter? Young's weight measurement at the combine may be the most anticipated size measurement in years, but will it actually affect his draftability?14:25 - The Raiders are rumored to be out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes and all in on acquiring a rookie quarterback. What would it take for Vegas to move up from the seventh pick to the first in the 2023 NFL Draft?23:35 - Lamar Jackson's contract talks with the Ravens have taken yet another turn for the worse following GM Eric DeCosta's comments at the combine. Could a Lamar Jackson trade actually become reality?34:55 - At first it was thought Daniel Jones' camp asking for $45 million per year from the New York Giants was a negotiating tactic, but Charles thinks they may be serious. Charles and Frank wonder if any team in the NFL would pay that amount in free agency.48:00 - Charles was amused by Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's comments on former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, which seemed to imply McCarthy thought the offense was almost too explosive. Frank and Charles are concerned about what the Cowboys offense will look like in 2023.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Super Bowl preview: Chiefs vs. Eagles potential X-factors + Derek Carr's best landing spot
Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab gather at the site of the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona to discuss NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's latest comments on officiating, whether or not Derek Carr is a fit for the New Orleans Saints, the Dallas Cowboys' new offensive coordinator and to preview the biggest x-factors for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.The trio start off the show by recapping the biggest storylines to come out of Roger Goodell's State of the League presser, including Charles' question on how Roger feels about the state of officiating in the NFL.Next, the group reacts to the news that Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr visited the Saints facility earlier this week. Everyone agrees the Saints offense could be a cushy landing spot for Carr, but question whether the Saints should be going after veteran quarterbacks or if it's time to rebuild and start with a young draft pick.The Cowboys have their new offensive coordinator in former Cowboys consultant and journeyman OC Brian Schottenheimer. Jori points out that this move reinforces head coach Mike McCarthy's desire to have full control over his offense going into 2023 after mutually parting ways with Kellen Moore, but the hope is that Schottenheimer can be a "new voice" who can help take QB Dak Prescott's game to another level.Finally the group move on to discuss the Super Bowl. Each host gives their pick for a potential game-changing x-factor to keep your eye on before diving into the fascinating stories behind the two quarterbacks in this game: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. They discuss each player's respective injuries they'll be battling through, how the Eagles created such a strong roster around Jalen Hurts and how this game could affect Hurts' contract talks moving forward. Finally, each host gives their pick for who will hoist the Lombardi Trophy along with a prediction for Super Bowl MVP.1:00 - Roger Goodell's comments on the state of officiating in the NFL12:20 - Is Derek Carr a good fit for the New Orleans Saints?16:30 - Dallas hires Brian Schottenheimer to be their new offensive coordinator24:05 - Super Bowl Preview: biggest potential x-factors and game-changers28:50 - Patrick Mahomes vs. Jalen Hurts: injury updates, contract talk and how they got here51:50 - Super Bowl Picks: picking the winner and Super Bowl MVPPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald and Dan Wetzel are in Phoenix, Arizona for Super Bowl week as they give the inside scoop on all the latest buzz around the NFL, including new coaching hires, Sean Payton's latest comments and the top 2023 NFL Draft prospects.The last two teams without a head coach, the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts, are steadily narrowing down their options. Charles Robinson thinks Arizona needs to go after an offensive guy to get Kyler Murray's career back on track, and wonders if Murray needs to have a good season in 2023 to still be considered a franchise quarterback. The Colts head coach situation is murkier, as it's unclear if they plan to bring back interim head coach and former Colts center Jeff Saturday.There were a few other coaching hires to discuss, including Steve Wilks becoming San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, a job that has led to two consecutive head coaching hires in Robert Saleh and Demeco Ryans. Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores heads to Minnesota to become the Vikings defensive coordinator. Former Denver Broncos DC Ejiro Evero heads to Carolina to coordinate Frank Reich's defense in 2023.New Broncos head coach Sean Payton didn't mince words in comments to the press earlier this week as he made it clear QB Russell Wilson's personal staff would no longer be allowed in the facility. Everyone is feeling optimistic about the Broncos, and Charles McDonald thinks Payton's no-nonsense coaching style might be just the thing Wilson needs to get back on track. Under the right leadership, Wilson may still have gas left in the tank.The episode ends with an update on the 2023 NFL Draft as the Senior Bowl just wrapped up last week. Although this class looks a little weak compared to some previous years, there are a few prospects that it's hard not to get excited about. Everyone is excited about Florida QB Anthony Richardson, who has all the tools necessary to be an elite NFL QB but will need time to sit and learn in a patient organization. Other players like Texas RB Bijan Robinson and Alabama QB Bryce Young present intriguing options in the first round.5:15 - Cardinals head coach update & Kyler Murray's future12:00 - Colts head coach update: Is Jeff Saturday returning in 2023?17:45 - New DC hires: Steve Wilks, Brian Flores, Ejiro Evero27:40 - Super Bowl preview: what we heard at opening night in Phoenix37:00 - Broncos HC Sean Payton's comments towards Russell Wilson45:50 - 2023 NFL Draft preview: Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young, Bijan RobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

News Roundup: Sean Payton to the Broncos, Demeco Ryans to the Texans, Tom Brady Retires
Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab recap all of the latest news from around the NFL, including the Denver Broncos trading to acquire head coach Sean Payton, the Houston Texans hiring head coach Demeco Ryans and Tom Brady retiring (again).Tom Brady announced via social media that he is retiring from football at age 45, exactly one year after his first retirement. Is Brady gone for good this time? Charles and Frank agree that Brady is likely done, but if there's one scenario that could tempt Brady back to the NFL for one more season, it'll likely be the San Francisco 49ers. If the injury to Brock Purdy ends up being serious, it could lead to the 49ers giving Tom a call. As for the future of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both agree that it would make sense for them to pursue former Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr. The Buccaneers also hold the 19th overall pick if they decide to target a quarterback in the draft.The Broncos gave up a first-round pick and more to acquire decorated veteran head coach Sean Payton from the New Orleans Saints. After taking a year off, Payton will take on an underperforming roster and attempt to resurrect Russell Wilson's career. Frank thinks Broncos fans should be very excited about the move, but Charles points out that Payton will likely make large changes to the makeup of the roster, and some of those changes may take time to yield results. He encourages fans to stay patient.The Texans got their first choice to take over as head coach in former 49ers defensive coordinator and Texans LB Demeco Ryans, who will look to lead the Texans organization out from rock bottom. Both Charles and Frank absolutely love the hire for Houston and think endorsements from Houston icons like JJ Watt go a long way. Ryans' first priority will be addressing the quarterback situation, and Charles and Frank both think the second overall pick in the draft is a prime spot to do so.The Dallas Cowboys fired offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who heads west to take charge of a highly potent Los Angeles Chargers offense captained by Justin Herbert. Frank thinks this is a slam dunk hire for LA, who desperately needed to bring in a coordinator who could help Herbert reach his full potential. Mike McCarthy will take over play-calling duties in Dallas, a sign that he is looking to put his future in his own hands as he enters year four with the Cowboys. This will be a make-or-break year for McCarthy, and it's looking like he will be making some big changes in 2023.1:00 - Tom Brady retires (for real this time?)19:25 - Broncos acquire head coach Sean Payton32:40 - Texans hire head coach Demeco Ryans41:30 - Cowboys fire OC Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy takes over offensive play-callingPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Conference Championship Sunday Night Freestyle: Chiefs and Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab join forces to recap Sunday's conference championship action as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII and the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers fall just short. Charles and Frank unpack the events of both games and start to look ahead towards what should be a clash of titans in the Super Bowl.Patrick Mahomes' ankle held it together just enough for him to throw for 326 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Chiefs narrowly defeated Joe Burrow and the Bengals with a game-winning field goal coming off a disastrous roughing the passer penalty from defensive end Joseph Ossai. Charles and Frank discuss how impressive this game was for Mahomes, the controversy over the officiating and how tonight may have ignited the NFL's next classic playoff rivalry akin to Manning vs. Brady.Earlier Sunday, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles steamrolled the 49ers and their rotating cast of pass-throwers following an early injury to quarterback Brock Purdy. The duo analyze what the loss means for the 49ers, what we learned about Jalen Hurts and the Eagles and how the injury to Brock Purdy could entirely shift the 49ers' offseason plans.00:30 - Bengals @ Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes defeats Joe Burrow and the Bengals and a new rivalry is born19:00 - 49ers' future: How Brock Purdy's injury could affect San Francisco's offseason29:00 - Jalen Hurts and the Eagles cruise to an easy victory: but what did we learn about them that we can take into the Super Bowl?38:00 - Early Super Bowl Preview: How do the well-balanced Eagles match up against the top-heavy Chiefs?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

AFC & NFC Championship preview + Panthers hire Frank Reich & Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett

AFC & NFC Championship preview + Panthers hire Frank Reich & Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett
Charles Robinson, Frank Schwab and Charles McDonald react to the Carolina Panthers hiring Frank Reich and the New York Jets Jets hiring Nathaniel Hackett as OC before previewing the AFC & NFC Championship games coming Sunday.The Panthers announced the hiring of former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich. It'll be interesting to see how he decides to handle the quarterback situation. Frank Schwab wishes the Panthers had just kept interim head coach and former defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, but everyone is convinced he will get another chance soon enough.The Jets hired former Denver Broncos head coach and Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new OC. Is this a sign that the Jets could be looking to acquire Aaron Rodgers? Charles McDonald thinks the Jets might actually have a better offensive foundation in place than the Packers. Even if they don't end up acquiring the veteran Rodgers, Hackett should be able to contribute early to a team that, according to Charles Robinson, believes they are not far off from contending.While taping the podcast, the news dropped that Dallas Cowboys DC Dan Quinn will be staying in his role for another year. This is huge news for the Cowboys, who manage to hang onto Quinn through yet another head coach hiring cycle. It's concerning news for teams like the Broncos who have yet to hire their next coach, as the premiere options are starting to dwindle.Next the trio move on to the NFC championship game, where Brock Purdy will look to evade the nasty Philadelphia Eagles pass rush, and Jalen Hurts will attempt to crack a tough San Francisco 49ers defense. Charles McDonald believes Hurts may be able to throw it deep against San Francisco – the cornerbacks may be their one weakness.The AFC championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs hinges on the health of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and whether or not he can overcome the ankle injury that affected his play last week. Mahomes was, shockingly, a full participant in practice on Wednesday and was seen jogging on the field. Regardless of Mahomes' status, Robinson believes the key to stopping the Chiefs will be slowing down tight end Travis Kelce, who is Mahomes' safety valve and tends to dominate in playoff games. Charles McDonald picks the Bengals; he thinks their streak of three straight victories against Kansas City will continue for at least one more game.00:25 - The Panthers hire Frank Reich to be their next head coach13:55 - The Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their next offensive coordinator. Is Aaron Rodgers next?29:50 - Cowboys DC Dan Quinn announces he's staying in Dallas. What does this mean for teams without head coaches?37:15 - 49ers @ Eagles Preview: Which offense will crack first against elite defense? Purdy and the 49ers or Hurts and Eagles?50:00 - Bengals @ Chiefs Preview: Can the Bengals stop the Chiefs just short of the Super Bowl for the second straight year?
