Chapter 1: Who signed new contracts in the NFL this week?
No, not this week. Not this week. No, not this week. But maybe next week. Maybe. We'll see what happens. So, hey, here's a headline. After signing Jameis Winston and leading the world to believe that he would be their starting quarterback, the New York Giants then decided to also sign Russell Wilson.
Now, there had been rumors speculating that the Giants may, at the number three spot, take a quarterback or even trade up to the number one spot to take a quarterback if they liked one particular quarterback, probably Cam Ward, who would probably be the number one pick. But instead, they said, you know what?
We're going to sign Russell Wilson to a one-year deal and broke the heart, even though he hasn't come out and said it, I will say it for him, broke the heart of Jameis Winston, who signed a two-year deal just last week, leading us to believe that he would be the starting quarterback of the New York Giants because the New York Giants now have Jameis Winston, they now have Russell Wilson, and they have fan favorite Tommy DeVito, who they re-signed, who we thought would be the backup.
So it would appear as though They are not going to be drafting a quarterback, but you never know. So, gang, what do we think of the New York Giants signing Russell Wilson?
Chapter 2: Why did the Giants sign Russell Wilson?
It certainly has a lot of implications. I don't necessarily believe that it takes them out of drafting a quarterback at number three. I do think it takes them out of trading up to number one. I think those deals pretty much preclude you from making that move. But I think if Shador Sanders is there at three and – The other guy they might want was taken at two.
I think they could draft Sanders and put him on the bench for a year behind Russell Wilson. The interesting thing about the Wilson and the Winston contracts are if neither of them play, they cost like $14 million total between two of them. So you could easily justify spending $14 million on two very high-end backup quarterbacks.
I get what you're saying about that, but actually it makes more sense now that I think about it because they do draft whoever at three if they're able to get one of the top two guys because I'm not, are we sure like the Titans might take a quarterback and then the Browns will take a quarterback right to the top two picks?
Yeah, but we're not sure about anything at this point. I think the Titans are still leaning Cam Ward.
Yeah, so if Cam Ward and Shador Sanders are both gone, then the next guy is Jackson Dart. So you might – maybe they do trade back because now, like you said, the emphasis is not really there to draft a quarterback. And I feel like any quarterback taking the top five, top ten, they have to play right away. That's like how most NFL people feel about it.
So I think it might just be more of an insurance policy. So I'm kind of with you there, Mike, because like you said, if Russell Wilson and Jameis never see in the field, they don't really cost you much, especially for a quarterback. $14 million for two quarterbacks, drop in the bucket, the way that quarterbacks get paid these days. Drop in the bucket.
Here's the other incentive that makes me think they're still not out of the... I'm going to call it Shador Sanders at three. Let's just be honest. That's who I think it's going to be at three, if it's anybody. The reason I think that it's... still very likely is, drafting Shador Sanders at three might buy the GM, Joe Shane, and the head coach one more year.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Giants' quarterback decisions?
Because if they're in this, their jobs are dangling by a thread. And if they... put all their faith in Russell Wilson after what we saw last year and Jameis Winston, what we saw the last decade, then they're pretty much resigned to the fact that they're gone. But if they draft Shador and they go, well, you got to give us a chance to develop them a little bit.
Maybe, maybe they buy themselves one more year.
Do you think that like Dable and Joe Shane is the other guy, right? Like I understand Joe Shane inherited Daniel Jones. I guess Dable did too. But then like Joe Shane gave Daniel Jones the extension, didn't he? Well, yes, but that's kind of like the quarterback he was in on then because he felt like, oh, this guy's enough. So I'm in on this guy. So maybe Dayball has that leash.
I don't know if Shane does.
I don't know that he thought that they were in on him. I mean, he did by giving him the contract, but that felt like just it was good enough. We want to play options. Exactly.
We need to lock up our guy because I got to go back and see what's available then because because I got to lock up your guy. But you're also like Daniel Jones had his best year before he won the playoff game and he duped them into giving them more money.
Yeah. Can we just take a moment to feel bad for Jameis Winston? Because poor Jameis. I mean, it seemed at the time, honestly, like a steal of a signing to the point that I did not understand why it is that Jameis signed a two-year $8 million deal guaranteed when you see someone like Zach Wilson signing a one-year $8 million contract in Miami to be their backup quarterback.
So Jameis, I thought, sold himself short. I said, you know what? This is going to be the greatest contract for a starting quarterback that a team has signed in a long time, just short of the Russell Wilson one last year, where the Steelers only had to pay him about a million dollars. And I wonder if he knew. I wonder if he knew I'm coming in here to be the backup.
And this is why he agreed to it, because, you know, the well was drying up everywhere else. Or if he actually thought that he had a shot, because it's kind of kind

Smirnoff we do game days please drink responsibly the Smirnoff company New York New York last time we dilly-dallied a little bit and then realized that our bracket bonanza took a lot longer than expected and we did you know one through seven we had buys and then we talked it out we said you know we really need to do if we're gonna be true to the bracket bonanza as we are every time this year let's do one through 16 in each conference
Every team makes the playoffs. Everyone's on a bracket. Let's see how all of these teams getting in there might mix things up. So we've ranked the teams 1 through 16 in the AFC and in the NFC. And it's time for a new edition of God Bless Football's Bracket Bonanza. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Okay, gang.
So I have here 1 vs. 16, 8 vs. 9, 5 vs. 12, 4 vs. 13, 6 vs. 11, 3, 14, 7, 10, 2, 15. Like every bracket that you have at this time of the year. Have one for the AFC. Have one for the NFC. I think in the interest of saving time, we don't need to go through the 1 through 16s and reveal that. We just reveal the matchup so that we can kind of expedite this process a little bit.
So would you like to start in the AFC or the NFC this week? AFC. All right. We're going to start in the AFC. Now, do we want to start 1 versus 16 or do we want to build up to that? Go 116. Okay, cool. So we're going to start with the 1 versus 16 seed. Now, they have the number one pick in the draft at the moment, the Tennessee Titans, and they are not the number one seed.
They will be the number 16 seed taking on last week's number one seed, the Buffalo Bills. We don't know what they're going to do in the draft. We assume if they stay with that pick, they will take Cam Ward, but they also may trade that pick and get some assets and then try to rebuild their team. They still have Will Levis there.

No, I don't have another good one, but I have another one.
Okay, what is the other one?
More Mike Lee to get fired this season. Shane Steichen with the Colts or Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins?
Wow.
This was really a question to ask a couple of Miami guys what they think is going to happen with Mike McDaniel.
I feel like the Dolphins still have a move of getting rid of Chris Greer before Mike McDaniel. But I don't know. They came out so quickly to back both of them after last season.
Well, Mike McDaniel, if Tua gets hurt again, Mike McDaniel's like, oh, well, I'm doing what I can. He wasn't there when they drafted Tua. So he has that excuse. Shane Steichen, though, he chose Anthony Richardson. He decided we're going to sign Daniel Jones. So he had to have great signing, by the way.
