Ryan Clark breaks down NFL latest: Bears & Broncos face decision at QB, Raiders’ target offseason
!!
Are back when facing Patrick Mahomes and with the NBA season restarting who could be a surprise Contender for the title you like that plus we’re going to examine the next ride for Russell Wilson we’re going to start with another looming quarterback question arguably the biggest one of the NFL off season
What’s going to happen with Justin Fields do the Bears pick up his fifth year option and build around him do they trade him and draft a QB with that number one pick they’ve got the fact that Fields unfollowed the Bears on Instagram led to some chatter that maybe
The riding’s on the wall but he explained the move I don’t want to see my timeline I’m about to go on vacation I don’t want to see no football gu get get every Bears Post Drive Caleb so it’s like bro I still mess with the Bears and that I’m
Just trying to take a little break I I’m follow the Bears and the NFL bro I’m not just trying to have football on my timeline like man I’m tired of hearing to talk just because you don’t follow the girl on IG don’t mean you’re not messing with him
Do you want to stay in Chicago or what’s up yeah of course of course I want to stay um to be honest bro I’ll be trying to like you know with all the talk it’s it’s hard to you know I guess kind of just boom be in one place but I can’t
See myself playing in another place if it was up to me I would want to stay in Chicago I love right the city the city’s lit the the fans they’re you know they’re great but um it’s a business I ain’t got no control over it ah for more on Justin Field’s lot in
Life we have to bring in our GM Lewis rck who has so much more what do you believe is Chicago’s best course of action when it comes to how to handle Justin fields in that number one overall pick yeah I I’ve kind of waffled back
And forth on this I I I honestly believe that the best course of action for them would be to keep Justin and continue to build around him because I don’t think he’s even scratched the surface of what his potential ultimately is and we know that because of the fact that we also
Know that quarterback success is directly tied to the structure which that you place around him and Justin has been operating at a deficit but people just don’t want to hear that because it’s always on to the latest and greatest thing and so that brings us to Caleb Williams right obviously as far as
The top of the draft is concerned and look I am not going to be the one to sit here and say I do not see unique rare physical ability in Caleb Williams as far as throwing the football running the football and being able to create off schedule which in today’s game you have
To do and for just fields that means he would have to move on and go to a team like Pittsburgh like Atlanta which are two of the best options for him as far as scheme fit and probably coaching staff personality fit in order for him to reach his potential I just hate to
See a guy like this that we know needs more help just like every quarterback does not get the benefit of receiving that help from the place that ultimately drafted him first and then they’re just going to start over and roll the dice on someone who they don’t know who they
Won’t be able to put as much around them and expect him to deliver far greater results than what Justin has ever done simply because of where they’re going to draft him which is number one overall that to me sets you up for like this much margin for error with terms of
Drafting Caleb Williams potentially number one overall and it sets justtin Fields up to go somewhere else and absolutely have people in Chicago going man maybe we overthought this thing maybe we should have just kept him so I’ll tell you what I would keep him I don’t think he’s going to say we’ll see
How it all turns out it would certainly be rare for Chicago to take a misp when it comes to the quarterback position for what it’s worth the oddsmakers have placed the Falcons as the odds on favorite to be the home of Justin Fields like the Polar Express Le rck is coming
Back he’s going from Chicago to Buffalo to tell us what their top season priority should be well another quarterback offseason question mark involves Russell Wilson and the Broncos his relationship with first year head coach Shawn pyton turned sour as you know as the season the Broncos bened him for the final two
Games and Wilson said it was because he wouldn’t change his contract so Wilson’s contract really weighs large in any discussion Denver must make a decision before March 17th when is $37 million base salary for 2025 becomes fully guaranteed good luck if they cut him they’ll do it with a post June 1st
Designation that allows them to spread his $85 million dead cap hit over two seasons I’m talking sorry sorry NFL Insider Dan Graziano is with us now what’s the potential Market here for Russell Wilson if the Broncos decide to cut ties yeah it’s it’s interesting one of
The things he has going for him is uh you mentioned the $37 million for 2025 his 39 million for 2024 is already guaranteed and it has offset language so any money he gets from his new team the Broncos get back so there’s really not going to be any reason to sign Russell
Wilson for more than the minimum salary because uh he’s he can’t make another Penny until he gets over 39 million so that’s going to help in terms of where he lands I think when you listen to Lewis a minute ago talk about Pittsburgh Atlanta you know we can add in Las Vegas
And New England and other places like that that need quarterbacks I don’t get the sense he’s going to be a lot of people’s first choice and I think that you may have to wait to see where Justin Fields goes how things work out with Kirk Cousins in Minnesota and then sort
Of see what the musical chairs are that are left over but one of these quarterback needy teams likely to take a chance on Russell Wilson especially given what will be a very low cost it is wild how we got here Wilson has three straight losing Seasons as a starter
After starting his career with nine straight winning seasons and a Super Bowl victory Dan thank you so much it’s kind of black Kevin back with you the Patriots way is officially reached a Crossroads the bellich era is over with former Patriots player Gerard Mayo taken over after four years as linebackers
Coach team has has a slew of free agents to make decisions on and a boatload of cap space but the biggest decision revolves around the draft they’re picking number three overall putting them in line to finally find the franchise quarterback they haven’t had since Tom Brady they also have over 70
Million in cap space second most in the NFL behind the commanders who by the way pick number two in the draft the new head coach talking about his former teammate Now assistant Dante hiow hi Tower you know he was my little brother when he got here uh one of the
Smartest players that I’ve been around and we’ve been talking about this for a while I’ll be honest with you we’ve been talking about it for a while hi tower has always really wanted the coach he was a coach on the field obviously he took the torch and kind of ran with it
As far as the Championships and and the leadership skills that he has uh it it was very important but it wasn’t like a you know yesterday hey man you know you want to be my linebacker coach this was a this was a extensive search or process Patriots reporter Mike ree is on the
Scene in Foxboro and joins us now for much more so we got a new head coach Mike what did you learn about ma Jones’s future today well Kevin Mack has been around the facility he works out here and the new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said that he’s already met ma Jones and
When he was asked if he could Envision a scenario that Mack is the team’s starting quarterback he said right now everything is on the table he said they’re in the process of evaluating the players on the roster and that ties into the huge story around the Patriots with
That number three pick team ownership has called this the most highly anticipated draft in their 31 years they didn’t talk too much about the number three pick today Kevin but next week at the NFL combine director of scouting Elliot wolf expected to meet reporters and talk about what they do at number
Three should heat up next week and expect the buzz to continue to build up as we approach the draft if the Patriots hold that third over over all pick in April Mike thank you so much Kevin do you remember the Pistons Jordan rules well Raiders coach Antonio Pier says he
Said recently quote I’m calling from now on as long as I’m here at the Patrick Mahomes room rules telling his team they need to be physical with the chief star just like the bad boy Pistons did with Michael Jordan certainly it worked for Vegas when they upset Kansas City on
Christmas Day here’s Mike and Tony with more on this in our PTI bonus topic all right wilbon did Raiders coach Antonio Pierce put a Target on his team’s back with his momes rules comments no he got carried away cuz that’s what happens but he by the way
Let me give Antonio Pierce a lot of credit first he found a way to motivate his guys for one game against Patrick Mahomes good and they got after him he did what he wanted they did what he wanted them to do although Antonio Pierce 45 years old he can’t remember
The bad boy Pistons beaten up on Jordan and now his players don’t even know they go bad boy Pistons all we see is the bad Pistons they don’t know that I’m going to get a text from Isaiah Thomas I’m sure about this whole thing the bad boy Pistons did exactly what Antonio wanted
You know to present modern day but then he got carried away and said it’s a blueprint for the rest of the teams in the league no it’s not it was a blueprint for winning that game golf clap for him and his Raiders yeah so I’m gonna I’m gonna
Stand up for Antonio Pierce as well I’m gonna say that he was a tough guy when he was in the league he was a linebacker he was and now he’s coaching the Raiders and the Raiders notoriously tough guys this is this is in their DNA this is
Their Mystique the Raiders to be tough guys Antonio Pierce was an interim coach at that time and was trying to find a way to get the players to trust him and he got the reward they got the win and he got the job full-time that whole
Thing worked it makes all the sense in the world to me he may not have been old enough to remember the bad boy Pistons against the Bulls but there is such thing as television shows that are archived he could have watched that someone could have told him about it and
And by the way he is the head coach now and it worked for everybody too because the Chiefs didn’t lose another game all year and they won the Super Bowl so worked Tony if he can look if they will listen to him in that Raider locker room
Like that that’s all that matters if Antonio Pierce gets that result and if he can use it to get those guys to get after Patrick Mahomes when near a division opponent and most importantly for that rival good for him is it a blueprint for the league yeah not so
Fast no no that’s it we’re done back to you I mention that the Chiefs are the Bills arch nemesis it’s because they’re one of two teams that have made the playoffs in each of the last five seasons along with the Chiefs they’ve of course lost in the divisional round each
Of the last three seasons those last two losses came at home Buffalo has won 58 games in total since 2019 that’s tied with the 2017 through 2021 Saints for the most wins in a 5year SP ban without a Super Bowl appearance I promised you Lis rck would
Be back and I never tell a lie well not never but mostly not here Lewis what do you believe should be Buffalo’s top offseason priorities yeah it’s going to be the position that kind of maybe people Overlook L and that’s going to be defensive tackle first on the defensive
Side of the ball along the defensive line look this team struggled as far as stopping inside the inside Run game yards before initial contact between the tackles they were one of the worst yards allowed before initial contact between the tackles they were one of the worst
In the NFL this year and you saw Kansas City in the playoffs exploit that area of the field time and time and time again they need some guys with size they need some guys with playmaking ability ability to get off blocks and they also need some guys who can then convert and
Become guys who can rush the passer and help out guys like Greg rouso on the outside and then secondly look at this one’s a little bit more subjective in nature but they need to figure out what’s going on in the wide receiver room there in Buffalo namely with that
Guy on your screen being Stefan Diggs because something is off there’s some kind of chemistry that is off there’s some kind of you know just relationship that is off that does not allow him and Josh Allen to really click at a high level consistently enough especially
When the chips are all in and everything is on the line and sometimes addition by subtraction is the way you go about correcting that chemistry which means sending him somewhere else despite the fact that physically he’s one of the most talented and hard to cover wide
Receivers in the NFL and then moving on and kind of like rebuilding that wide receiver room because maybe on the back end of that the team becomes better offensively Josh becomes better and they’re able to really click at the highest level when they need them the most cuz right now something is off
There and despite what they say despite what the what the people say whether it be Josh Allen or Diggs himself it’s just not working so that’s something to watch and I think that’s something that Shawn mcder and Brandon Bean will definitely address this offseason it’s a great
Point how enticing for another team to say their chemistry is off and still in each of his four seasons in Buffalo Diggs has posted at least 100 catches 4,000 yards and 8 TDS but unfortunately the only number that matters here is the cap number as well leis of which Buffalo is 55 million
