00:00A new week begins of course on this monday morning. We welcome you to it a week
00:06that will feature
00:08a national football league game
00:10This season pre-season action the first one to kick things off
00:15Under the lights of kenton, ohio and the pro football hall of fame
00:20It's the hall of fame game between the bears and the texans on thursday evening so much to get to
00:26You practice underway at training camp in a big weekend where quarterback questions were answered
00:33with very
00:34big paydays jordan love in green bay to a tonga by loa
00:39In miami so much to get to here drs to start off our second hour together
00:45Quarterbacks getting paid no surprise here resetting the market on a day-to-day basis. No surprise either
00:50So the next quarterbacks that are in line for a payday ala dac prescott
00:54They will also reset the market. I don't think anybody's really upset about the quarterbacks
00:58You know getting on their team and getting re-signed like to a tag of alo in miami
01:02What else were they going to do jordan love up there in green bay?
01:04What else were they were going to do people were just astounded by the amount of money?
01:08Some of these guys are making because the past performance doesn't really match what that price tag is
01:13You have to remind yourself
01:14It's when you're actually going to get signed and also the nfl
01:17Actually pays on what your future is supposed to look like not what your past actually look like here
01:22So we're not surprised by any of this here that quarterbacks are getting paid. So what's supposed to happen in the nfl?
01:28Drs, I think it is very natural for national football league fans all around the game to want to match price tag and performance
01:36But price tag does not just simply equate to performance
01:41There is promise and prospect associated with that as well
01:46And a word called inflation that as the salary cap rises
01:50So too do the salaries thus that are given out to the quarterback position. Let's start in green bay
01:58where they are feeling the love 30 consecutive seasons now 31 in fact of
02:04Consistent and successful quarterback play that they hope to continue
02:09At least for 35 jordan love signing a four-year
02:13220 million dollar extension with the packers 55 million dollars per year annually
02:20It matches the highest paid contract in the history of the national football league
02:25alongside joe burrow in cincinnati
02:27and trevor lawrence earlier this offseason
02:30in
02:31Jacksonville jordan love at 55 million dollars per year one of the three highest paid qbs. The nfl has ever known
02:40Yes, and that's what's going to happen here
02:41When you have a young franchise quarterback that you feel is the future of your franchise and he's up for a contract
02:47He will be paid accordingly because all the agent's going to do is like, okay who signed last? All right
02:51Let's start right there. We'll take a dollar or two above that and we'll continue to move on
02:55That's typically what takes place but also love the way green bay handled this
02:59There was never any animosity bent all the way through shows up at the ota shows up at training camp says, you know
03:04What we're almost at the finish line here. I'm not going to not show up to push this over
03:09I'm going to show up to training camp. I'm going to get those mental reps in i'm going to be with the boys out here
03:13And also keep in mind signing a young quarterback here to get used to his younger wide receivers there dobbs reed wicks
03:20I love the fact that you now have this young core in place here
03:23No animosity go ahead and let it rip getting down to brazil in game number one against the philadelphia eagles
03:28What's the last thing you need to hear ben this to be drawn out to august 31st before you finally?
03:33Came to an agreement here and he misses all the training camp. No nip this in the bud right away
03:37The packers did that that's how good franchise operates here and another quarterback
03:40It looks like in that long lineage over the past 30 plus years. It feels like from five to aaron rogers and now to jordan love
03:48bears fans lions fans vikings fans elsewhere around the nfc thinking to themselves if they're investing
03:5555 mil per year in this guy. How do they keep doing it jordan?
03:59Love first round draft pick back in 2020, of course, it greatly upset aaron rogers
04:04He sat on the bench for three seasons behind number 12 in green bay
04:09Rogers says i'm done as a packer i'm going to the bright lights of the big apple really new jersey
04:14And the new york jets jordan love in his first year as a starter last year the fourth
04:20Of his national football league career good early at least from a touchdown to int ratio
04:27Some struggles midway through the 2023 nfl campaign and then donnie the idea of promise
04:34promise and
04:35Rejection is what we saw in the performance in the final nine games for green bay really the last 10 but sensational
04:43In seven of the last nine in the regular season their final eight matchups for green bay in six of the eight
04:50A victory for the packers in six of the eight jordan love throwing for 250 yards or more
04:5718 tds to only a single
05:00Int in those final eight games and they go on the road to dallas they stun the cowboys at the star
05:08272 yards three touchdowns no ints and that super wild card weekend victory in dallas
05:15Over the cowboys that is why jordan love has been paid
05:21Yes, exactly
05:22And also you love to see it too because it's playing better at the end of the season here picking up a playoff victory
05:28That's the taste that you want to say
05:29You know what?
05:30I don't have to sit back and think twice about signing this quarterback like hey, man
05:33He had a good start to the season
05:35But when the pressure ramped up, he just wasn't there
05:37You're accepting the fact that they brought him away exactly the way they wanted to work it out
05:42Not throwing them into the fire having them sit and learn here
05:44Which quite frankly has worked back to back times now with aaron rogers and also taking a look at jordan
05:49Love I like where the green bay packers are out right now
05:52So I think they do have their quarterback of the future loved what I saw last year coaching staff seems like the way to manage
05:57Um, I think they're gonna have a pretty good season this year. No doubt about it
06:00Just hope that they don't have that great of a start in down in brazil
06:05In sao paulo that friday opener to the 2024 nfl regular season green bay a short one and a half point underdog
06:13Against donny's philadelphia eagles, but even if it is a loss in week number one
06:19Green bay expected to do a ton in 2024
06:22Nine and a half the win total for the packers the over has the jews hoping to get to double digit wins
06:27Once again favored to reach the postseason at minus 164
06:32Second best price in the nfc north between or behind excuse me
06:37The detroit lions, of course the lions first divisional championship in 30 years in 2023
06:44But with aaron rogers in the decade plus prior green bay had won the nfc north eight
06:50Of 12 years entering 2023
06:53So the packer is being forecasted to contend for a divisional crown
06:57Even with jordan love under center is not foreign by any means there in wisconsin
07:03And by the way, you have a great start to the season, too
07:05So let's just take a look at well, they do have a tough matchup against the eagles
07:08You know would have been even tougher playing at lincoln financial field
07:11That's a big win for the packers getting that game on a neutral site where nobody has home field when you were supposed to be
07:16The away team then you have the colts at home the next week after that again
07:20You're looking at you know, anthony richardson a quarterback still basically a rookie here
07:23You go on the road for the tennessee titans a lot up in the air there
07:26Minnesota might have a rookie quarterback on september 29th at home
07:29You go take on the rams, which would be a tough one
07:31But then you're home against the arizona cardinals
07:33You could have a real little you know
07:35A jet way right now to start off this season if they can upend the philadelphia eagles in game number one
07:40Watch out for the packers here. That'd be a massive win and a lot of momentum in that first month of the season
07:46They're feeling good right now in green bay the league's youngest roster last year
07:50They continue to stay young drs mentioned all the guys they have
07:55At the wide receiver spot that came on in a huge way last year romeo dobbs dontaevion wicks jayden reed christian
08:02Watson feeling healthier than he ever has entering a season aj dylan
08:08That lead back after aaron jones was released and then went to minnesota donnie
08:13Our guy joe lee's here with us on a football friday to end out last week has sky high
08:18expectations and hopes
08:20For the packers this year truly believing they are the bet to contend for an nfc title at eight to one
08:26Where do you believe the packer ceiling is in 2024?
08:30Yeah, the ceiling is a deep playoff run. No doubt about it. If you're looking at that division here
08:34I understand it's actually getting tougher here because detroit was always that hey, there's still going to be a doormat no longer
08:39It might be the class of that division
08:41But i'm not going to say to myself at the end of the season the green bay packers can't beat detroit and if they do
08:45That they've already shown sometimes you just want to take those steps ben right last year down the stretch play good football win a playoff
08:50Game, what are the expectations the next year not to get to the playoffs and lose get to the playoffs and take another step here
08:56So I won't be surprised one bit here. I like what they have going on. And yes, it's about doing in love
09:00I think you can succeed and play well as we just told you about that early start to the schedule
09:05More big money given out in miami up next
09:08To a time in south florida the first of the qb extensions inked this weekend
09:14On friday afternoon as the parade of nations was floating down the river sen in paris
09:20Some breaking news back here stateside for to a tongue of iloa a four-year
09:26212.4
09:28million dollar deal that is
09:3153.1 million dollars annually that makes to a tongue of iloa the fourth
09:36Highest paid quarterback in the history of the national football league and of course at this current time
09:42So to what gets his deal?
09:44He is the franchise qb in the face of the franchise in south florida for many years to come
09:50Well deserved and sometimes, you know, it's not so much that lets you say the dolphins are your favorite team
09:54Like hey, we got two assigned here
09:56But when you can look and maybe cheer for a guy that seems like just a great team guy
10:00Always happy willing to put in the work and just had some issues with concussion like man
10:04It's a shame he's going through that good to see him and you saw him on the sidelines at training camp practice
10:09Grab that microphone and basically shout into it show me the money the crowd loved it at that point
10:14You sort of felt well deserved and I also felt like their head coach said the right things as well
10:19Like it's not time for a celebration. It's a smile and a handshake
10:22now we got to get back to work and I think they will get back to some work because that offense is going to
10:26Cook this year because there is speed once again all over the place
10:30The question is going to be on the defense for the miami dolphins here and we'll get into that in a little bit
10:34But focusing here on the quarterback itself if you can keep him upright in the pocket
10:38He is the perfect point guard and maestro for that offense
10:41and I know there's always going to be
10:43Contributions or should I say people say oh should have got justin herbert at this point
10:46So we're talking about if it's perfectly in miami with donnie. He didn't win in the playoffs last year what in minus?
10:5179 degree temperatures against kansas city
10:54Of course, he's not going to win that football game when miami didn't even bring half of their football team due to injury
10:58I love this signing here for him
11:00I just hope it works out in the favor for both because the player got his money
11:04Now we just need him to be healthy because the thing that we always talk about with tua
11:08It's not the performance on the field. The guy's a winner. He's won in college. He's had some success in the nfl
11:12It's just trying to stay healthy and I don't want to see week number three
11:16Concussion test on to a tag of iloa because that'll derail that season right away
11:20He deserved to be paid and got paid couldn't be happier for the guy
11:24Yeah drs, I think that's a really good point right there are questions about the ceiling of to a tongue of iloa
11:30Does he make miami a super bowl contender? Is he a top five top 10 quarterback in the national football league?
11:37All of those are fair
11:39Unwarranted the health was a huge component of this conversation
11:44Last offseason as well
11:46And it's different when it's head injury because there is still so much unknown in terms of the long-term effects
11:52That it's going to have on your playing career to a tongue of iloa shared last offseason. He had in-depth
11:58Deep conversations with his family his loved ones
12:01Was it worth still playing football for what it could do to him as a human being not a quarterback?
12:07not the face of the franchise of the fins, but as a human a husband a father all of those that are much more
12:15Significant than anything that happens on the gridiron. Ultimately. He decided football
12:20Is his and last year he led the national football league in passing yards played and started in all 18 games
12:28for miami
12:304624 yards that does not seem like it is going to slow down with the
12:36Acquisition of obj and of course you have tyree kill and jaylen waddle. They're happy and signed under
12:43Contract. So then the question becomes is this the year for miami to contend for the afc east?
12:50Divisional crown that they frankly let stumble a little bit with a gauntlet down the stretch in their final three games
12:55And buffalo beat them week number 18 to claim the division for a fourth consecutive season
13:01We expect the new york jets to be much better with a healthy. Aaron rogers this year
13:07It is one of if not the most competitive divisions in all of the nfl donnie
13:12What does miami do in your estimation in 2024?
13:16It should be a double-digit win football team
13:18And I know you just explained that that division obviously is tough with the new york jets getting aaron rogers back
13:23The buffalo bills are always going to be there with josh allen
13:25Even if you think they take a little bit of a step back from the talent perspective and standpoint
13:29But I just look at that miami dolphins offense and say to myself as long as to a tag about was healthy
13:34They are going to put up points now. You might say as we were talking about, you know
13:37How does this defense come from vic fangio to another defensive coordinator?
13:40You lose a couple players on defense some high-priced veterans on the move
13:44But you draft chop robinson in the draft solid outside pass rusher here
13:48Jalen phillips coming back from injury looks like he should be okay this year and then bradley chubb
13:52Just want to see him get back to his all pro mentality
13:54That's a really good front line that can get pressure on the quarterback
13:57They have a couple playmakers in that secondary that should be able to step up at any team
14:01That is a healthy to a tag about loa an offensive coordinator like mike mcdaniel out here waddle and hill
14:07You're going to be just fine if everybody stays healthy. I think I just saw those madden ratings a 99 speed for tyree kill
14:13Absolutely well deserving and a couple track athletes in the backfield with most are an h-and
14:19So I like what I see out of the miami dolphins. There's no reason and look we can't predict injuries here
14:24Let's go into the season as if they're not going to be catastrophic. The dolphins are going to win 10 games this season
14:29They're just too talented not too bad
14:31Completely agree anthony weaver the new defensive coordinator for miami a new school guy
14:37Vic fangio's a little bit on the older side
14:40Apparently the defense likes him a little bit more have to be much better there on the defensive side
14:45Of the football the miami dolphins are trying to win their first playoff game since the 2000
14:51Nfl season nearly two and a half decades for the dolphins without a single playoff victory
14:58That's step number one. Mike mcdaniel has talked about that challenge embracing the franchise's history
15:04And knowing where they need to get to we'll see if it happens in the 2024
15:08Nfl campaign eight quarterbacks now drs in the 50 million dollar club around the national football league with the new weekend
15:16Acquisitions of jordan love tied for the highest paid player ever into a tongue of iloa fourth richest contract in
15:23history, so
15:25Where does that leave one dac prescott yet to sign the contract extension entering the final year of his deal?
15:32in dallas drs a two-part question
15:36Does the deal get done between dac and dallas and if so when
15:42No, I don't think it's going to get done before this football season starts
15:45I think dac's going to play under that contract and then the offseason they'll start to renegotiate or try to get them
15:51Basically as a free agent at that point because I look at it this way
15:54You missed your window the time to re-sign dac prescott was just after the super bowl to a new extension
16:01Get him paid and lower his cap number
16:03So what can you do ben go out and spend some money on free agents to make yourself quote-unquote all in
16:08Renegotiating his contract now almost defeats the entire purpose of why you were supposed to do it in the first place
16:14It wasn't to pay dac prescott
16:15It was to pay dac prescott and have extra money left over to sign guys like cd lamb or defensive end
16:22It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable, man
16:25Yeah, it really is. We'll talk more about news around the nfl up next
16:30Welcome back to this monday live right here on the early line the first full weekend of training camp around the national football league
16:37All 32 teams there all 32 nfl organizations
16:42Practicing as well, but sometimes it's not about who's at practice. It's who's absent from practice for the fourth consecutive day
16:50Yesterday no jamar chase at bangles practice
16:54in
16:55Cincinnati the rs. Is there anything you are reading into when it comes to jamar chase's absence whether it be injury
17:04or money
17:05Yeah, by the way, his agent is probably getting in his ear saying hey look man
17:09I'm gonna try my best but you just saw the way they handled
17:12Another wide receiver supposed to get paid and I know they're gonna say to you
17:16We want to pay you but when is that in three to four years at this point?
17:19We used to say wasn't long ago and I guess technically it is now 20 years ago
17:23Let's call it the los angeles lakers shaquille o'neal and kobe bryant right in practice, you know going forward
17:29But what was the key ingredient here shack wanted to get paid?
17:32Dr
17:33Jerry buss would show up to practice shack would run up and down the court embarrass everybody and scream
17:38At dr. Jerry buss pay me after every dunk worked out in his favor not because he got paid there
17:43He was shipped out to the miami heat
17:45So you're taking a look at jamar chase where players want to play
17:49They don't like to sit on the sidelines as a wide receiver and watch everybody else run around making plays
17:54They want their money and they want to make plays. So he's showing up
17:57I guess being the good soldier now, but sooner than later there's going to be a stalemate where the brown family goes
18:03We're not paying you so you might as well just get on the football field and I want to see where that goes
18:07Does that mean I leave camp and just stay home that I get angry?
18:10Or I only show up to half of the meetings here put in half the time and say until you pay me
18:15You're not getting my full honest effort every put it put it this way then put this out to the public here
18:21Should jamar chase be getting paid?
18:2499.9 percent of people even cleveland browns fans like you know what he should be getting paid at this point right now
18:29The fact that he hasn't been paid is comedy at its best and also
18:33When you talk about the good vibes that we talk about that, it's is it and i'll be all no
18:37It's not coaches players can hate each other instead of successful seasons
18:41But you don't want to have the animosity from your best players entering in a season
18:45You feel you can make a run and do big things that like what is going to take place at the end of this man?
18:50Is jamar chase going to play this season not getting a new contract and be happy?
18:55Absolutely not. It never should have come to this point here with jamar chase
19:00I can't wait like get my popcorn ready because I feel like we might have a to on our hands
19:04Where he's going to be doing push-ups and sit-ups in his driveway at home instead of being a training camp
19:09I
19:10Don't get it. I'll never get it the brown family known to be often rather stingy
19:16But if you paid jamar chase now
19:18Even if you matched what justin jefferson was making four years 140 million dollars 35 million dollars annually
19:26Highest paid non-quarterback in the history of the nfl, of course something jamar chase is worthy and deserving of monetarily
19:34At this time
19:36He would have been able to average it out over the final two years of his rookie deal where it's more franchise friendly
19:42Than even the deal the vikings gave justin jefferson. I don't get it. I won't get it. It doesn't make sense
19:49To me plus 750 still the number on cincy tied for the third best price in the afc alongside buffalo. What did you say?
19:58But got away to the off season apparently in cincinnati to negotiate now that we're finally in the season
20:02You know now it's not the time to actually do it and push it forward
20:05By the way, I would have loved to have seen like because agents always want to get their players paid, right?
20:09Superstar players always typically get paid when it's their turn to get paid and it's jamar chase's chance at this point
20:14I just would have loved to have heard like the conversation from the agent calling mike brown going
20:18Okay, it's time to get the negotiations and mike brown just goes. What do you mean negotiations?
20:22He's under contract for like three more seasons at this point. We'll talk to you later
20:25I'm telling the animosity is going to be so so big in cincinnati and once again
20:29Hey, joe. Barrow. All you have to do is take the field and in your post-practice press conference say man
20:35I really missed you mark chase. He should be getting paid
20:37I hope this gets done sooner than later
20:39But instead we're out here dyeing our hair and blonde look like eminem acting the fool because you got paid yourself
20:44Wake up, joe. Barrow. Wake up, man. Get your boy paid
20:48I I don't really get the onus on joey b. I'm sure there's probably been some internal conversations
20:54That he wants his lsu and cincinnati teammate paid but hey, whatever scary situation yesterday
21:01Yeah, maybe that was a tough transition scary, uh situation yesterday in new england with christian barmore after his third year in the nfl
21:10out of alabama
21:11Signed a big extension this offseason with the patriots four years 84 million dollars diagnosed with blood clots
21:19He is out
21:20Indefinitely, of course not the update you want around training camp for one of the young promising defensive stars for this new england
21:28Side, that's where we'll leave it at this moment around the national football league
