00:00What else are you hearing around the wide receiver market in terms of teams looking to make a deal to improve their wide receiver room?
00:11Yeah, Kevin, here's the deal. So we just mentioned Pittsburgh, right? The Chiefs, because of the Rishi Rice injury, which is major, obviously, he's not going to be back.
00:20Hollywood Brown will not play in the regular season, unfortunately, due to that bad shoulder injury. It's more of the collarbone area. He's got a really bad injury, so they're really in dire straits now.
00:30They need help with receivers. They're shopping, for one. Now, there's not a lot on this, but remember, we should mention, Washington tried to make that trade for Brandon Iacca around the draft.
00:40They didn't get him. Remember, they traded Jahan Dotson, who they didn't want. The front office and coaching staff, the new staffs, inherited Jahan Dotson.
00:47They didn't want him. They traded him to Philly inside the division, so they're still looking for receiver help.
00:52Now, the kind of receivers you're looking for here, typically, you don't see good teams trading for young players who are not developed.
00:58They're trying to get to the playoffs. Those three teams I mentioned, there'll be others, by the way, as we'll talk on next Sunday that will emerge here.
01:05But the kind of players that you're looking at is Deontay Johnson, who's making $7 million this season, right?
01:10Well, it's going to be prorated. It's going to be under $3.5 million if he gets traded, so that's a very tradable contract. He's on a final year risk deal.
01:18We've talked about DeAndre Hopkins right here every Sunday, it seems like, the last three weeks on Pro Football Today.
01:24Now, he's making $8.3 million. Again, that's going to be prorated the rest of the season. He's got $60,000 in per game roster bonuses, so you're looking at under $4 million the rest of the season.
01:34Very tradable contract, but there are some people in the league just don't think he runs very well. He's a possession receiver.
01:40Kendrick Bourne, by the way, you see that game today. Kendrick Bourne, KG Osborne are veteran receivers. The Patriots aren't going anywhere. We know that.
01:47Now, the Browns say they're not shopping Elijah Moore, but I expect them to get calls on Elijah Moore, who's also on the final year of his deal.
01:54You notice, Kevin, this list. There are a lot of guys on a one-year deal or on the final year of their deal.
02:00Those are the kind of guys who get traded. Again, it's teams looking to make a run at the playoffs.
02:05Remember talking to the Eagles, the trade deadline at 2017? They told me they were looking for help on offense.
02:11Who did they trade for? Jay Ijai. Honestly, I don't know that they would have won a Super Bowl without him.
02:16He had a great run and probably very unheralded for that 2017 team is their run to the Super Bowl.
