00:00It's been an interesting perhaps even dicey offseason now at the start of training camp for a Super Bowl co-favorite
00:08That's the San Francisco
00:1049ers listed right now on the FanDuel sportsbook with a 6 to 1 price to win Super Bowl 59 and hoist a Lombardi
00:18Trophy finally for the first time since
00:211994 right alongside the team that has beat them in the big game two of the previous five seasons
00:26That's the Kansas City Chiefs the San Francisco 49ers a very short favorite to win the NFC championship
00:32So you would think DRS as the boys are back on the practice field football has returned
00:38It's all rah-rah bright smiles and positivity to make it this year
00:42The year has it been the case for the 49ers?
00:46Of course a couple of weeks ago after an embattled offseason Brendan
00:51Officially request what felt like his ninth trade request of the offseason
00:56But he even showed up to training camp the veteran 11th time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams
01:03Unhappy with his current deal is now holding out at the start of training camp for the 49ers
01:09And I preface it by saying this when you're in the window to win an NFL championship
01:14But the 49ers are right now boy. They have a lot of question marks and a lot of anger from players
01:19But also the players understand that as well. It's a lot harder to say, you know what?
01:23I think I'm one of the better players in football on a really bad team
01:26Let me hold out and sometimes the ownership group and the fans can be like we're gonna lose whether you're here or not
01:32It's not a big deal. We know we might as well trade you but you can't do that
01:36If you're the 49ers, you can't say to yourself because if the perfect world, right?
01:39I you guys angry and you say to yourself, okay, we drafted pierce
01:42Oh, well also you could have traded I you got a first-round draft pick and drafted another wide and say hey look
01:47We got our two wide out to the future here on cheap salaries
01:49we're paying Depot this should work out fine in our favor because if you ask me my
01:54Favorite play caller by a mile in the NFL is Kyle Shanahan betting wise. I love betting the 49ers
02:00I love taking team props in the niners because everybody is live because they're gonna score a lot of points and you understand that but also
02:07You look at IU he's unhappy. He's doing that holding like I'm gonna show up to practice tap it up
02:11But what's gonna change now Ben?
02:13He hated this franchise in the way, they've treated him from February all the way through now
02:18What changes up to the deadline and now also here's the ingredient if you're the 49ers and you say, of course next year
02:25Brock Purdy is going to get an
02:28Unbelievable amount of money our window is now but also you say who's more important Brendan. Ike is a wonderful wide receiver
02:35I love him. He fits perfectly into that scheme. But let's say the Niners go we can only have one
02:40You know, it's gonna be Trent Williams
02:41he's gonna win that even though he's in his mid 30s because of how important the left tackle position and if you have a bad one can
02:47Wreck your entire offense. So Brandon I you guys to sit back go. Wait a second
02:51You took care of McCaffrey in the offseason this year Debo was just a few years in the past
02:54I think it was last year. He signed that big extension. No, I want my money
02:58I'm a good player
02:58Tell me how good I am
02:59But you keep brushing me to the side and every time I want to do something
03:02Both the steps in last year with monster money Trent Williams now once monster money
03:06It's almost like when am I gonna get mine and how important am I to this franchise?
03:09Which is why he's acting out by going on social media Ben and saying just get me out of here
03:14You're telling me you love me
03:15But then tell me I'm not worth the money I am when I know if I'm a true market wide out as a free agent
03:20I would reset the market myself. Just pay me accordingly
03:24And that's a point DRS that I think is kind of underrated around Brandon
03:29I you the 2020 NFL draft class of wide receivers has been front and center this
03:35Offseason a couple of guys taken in the first round Justin Jefferson the highest paid non quarterback in the history of the NFL
03:42CeeDee lamb holding out in Dallas looking for that record-setting deal as well
03:47Brendan Iuke unhappy with San Francisco and T Higgins a second round pick
03:51Of course will play under the franchise tag this year in Cincinnati
03:55And maybe you don't put IU up there with the likes of Jefferson and CeeDee lamb
04:00But you're kind of wrong in not doing so he has had more than 1100 receiving yards in each of the past two years
04:07Maybe hasn't been as prolific as Justin Jefferson or CeeDee lamb
04:11but what do the last two years have in common a
04:14Majority of the snaps at quarterback have been taken by Brock Purdy
04:18Brandon are you not George Kittle not Debo Samuel is Purdy's favorite target at the wide receiver position
04:25Yes, there is so much offensive talent to spare around this 49ers
04:29Organization, but you would think knowing you're going to have to put pay Brock Purdy at the end of this year
04:35You would want to keep his top target very happy and you would want to keep everybody happy
04:40Because you are the NFC championship favorites and you are the Super Bowl co-favorites
04:45entering
04:472024 look at the odds
04:4911 and a half San Francisco is nearly a $2 odds-on favor to win the NFC West
04:55Once again, the Chiefs at minus 230 and the Niners at minus 190 the two strongest prices for two teams
05:02To win any of the eight divisions around the National Football League
05:06I mean there shouldn't be drama even the Chiefs last year was the year to knock Casey off its perch
05:12It did not happen this offseason
05:14They got better in a run to try to win three consecutive Lombardi trophies where it feels like there is only drama
05:21Consistently around the 49ers this offseason
05:24It is odd too because you take a look around some of the other franchises
05:27You don't want to come into training camp with animosity with some of your best players
05:30You want the good vibes coming in where everybody's working towards the Super Bowl and is happy and the Philadelphia Eagles season last year didn't go
05:37as planned but they're not coming into the season with a lot of question marks with their talent because they did have a
05:42Defensive lineman and Hassan Redick who was very good for the Eagles made it known right away. I want more money
05:46You know what?
05:47We're not gonna be able to make that happen trade him early in the season move on get another player readjust in free agency
05:52I don't think anybody would had a problem with this Ben if you would even came out in the offseason and Kyle Shannon goes
05:56We'd love Brandon. Are you but we know the salary cap restraints, which quite frankly there aren't any but people will buy into it
06:02We can't afford everybody
06:04So that's why we made the move to get a first-round draft pick and we traded him this year to let's just say the Pittsburgh
06:08Steelers we drafted another talented player in his place and got Ricky Pierce up here
06:12You know what?
06:12That's smart business here
06:14If you weren't going to sign him because now you're at the point you have to sign Brandon
06:18I you you can't have him angry this season as being as you said that the favorite target of Brock Purdy
06:23You just can't do that
06:25So they misplayed the hand a little bit
06:26But they've been down this block before Debo swore them up and down for an entire offseason
06:31Eventually, they came for an agreement. You take a look at both of their so so talented defensive end
06:36He signed basically just a few days. It felt like before the season started
06:39So they do have a tendency to get these deals done, but there's no reason for this
06:42You sold offseason long get your game plan together and execute it. The fans will be fine
06:47Now we have question marks heading into training camp, but I do expect if you ask me right now
06:51I think Williams and I will both be happy on this roster
06:54But we didn't have to go to this and how late maybe they're gonna report to training camp and or practice
06:59And John Lynch was meeting with reporters as San Francisco showed up to training camp earlier this week the general manager of course in
07:07San Fran saying we're happy Brendan. Iuk is here. We expected him to be here. We'll make sure this gets done
07:14They are not going to trade him
07:15They have been very hesitant even resistant to the idea
07:19He is truly on the block for a deal to be made around the National Football League
07:24Brennan I you could be one of the four wide receivers
07:27Maybe make it five or six after CD lamb in his deal to receive thirty million dollars per year
07:33Trent Williams right now one of the top five highest paid Oh lineman in the NFL at more than 23 mil per year
07:41under contract for the next two in San Francisco
07:44But just saw Christian Dara saw in Minneapolis become the highest paid Oh lineman in the NFL at more than 28 million
07:51Per year and saw putting up an a soul for Detroit get that big contract extension earlier this offseason as well
07:59Trent Williams four years in San Francisco Pro Bowler all four years
08:03three-time AP first team all pro deserving based on the accolades speaking of drama from a northern
08:11California native enter Aaron Rodgers asked yesterday at Jets training camp
08:17Why he actually missed mandatory minicamp to hear it from the horse's mouth
08:22Himself Aaron Rodgers says he has been a fan of Egypt for three decades and planned his trip based on the previous years
08:31Mandatory minicamp schedule, which was different this year. That's a tweet from Ari May Roth
08:36It almost seems like that's an onion article headline
08:40Go ahead DRS
08:42Like you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars, let's just say you dropped
08:48$30,000 on that vacation to go to Egypt. He ends up months early in advance
08:52They tell you hey, by the way, your mandatory OTAs are during this time. Well can't afford to make the change now
08:58Well, I'm gonna upset my franchise because I have to go here instead of pushing it back a week or moving it up a week
09:03The stories write themselves here from a guy that said I mean make sure it's all about football inside the building
09:09He does the exact opposite. My oh my New York Jets
09:15That's where it stands with gang green more on the early lineup
09:19That's one of the great things about everybody being back at training camp as of yesterday
09:24Of course all 32 NFL organizations reported for camp now
09:29Everybody's back on the practice field. So all of these contract situations
09:33We have talked about and forecasted throughout a long football off season
09:38Come to a head if they have not been finalized as of this moment and Donnie
09:43There's still three quarterbacks that are due for an extension that have yet to sign in ink
09:48their new big deal Dak Prescott in Dallas Jordan love that we have discussed at length in Green Bay and
09:56To a tongue of Iloa in Miami in his fifth and final year of his rookie deal
10:02The two sides remain optimistic that a new contract will be done rather shortly
10:07So almost like Jordan love with the Packers. It's a kind of hold in
10:13Fortua in
10:15Miami he is on the practice field. He is going through workouts
10:20But when it comes to 11 on 11 drills, he's not going to participate
10:26So head coach of the Finns Mike McDaniel calls the situation quote very fluent
10:32What is your reaction DRS to a tongue of Iloa status in Miami?
10:38What's it's what the quarterbacks understand. They are the lifeblood of the organization itself and sooner than later
10:43You're probably going to get a deal done and it's not going to be all this animosity heading into camp
10:48It's apparent both sides are talking
10:50They're probably just going over some contract language and figure out the final details, but quarterbacks aren't going to stay away from their team
10:56It's the reason why most of the time here
10:5899% of the quarterbacks show up for the rookie OTAs because the quarterback sets the tone for the entire franchise and how those
11:04Practices are going and running and if you are to a tiger by low with just being around the fellas being in the room here
11:09Answering questions from the young guys being in the film room to get pointers out there and taking those mental reps. It's extremely important
11:15I like the way they're going about this because it very easily could be animosity holdout
11:19I'm not even showing up to training camp until I get my deal and that could derail the entire season
11:24This deal will get done and it should get done. He's a quarterback
11:27That's eligible for an extension. You're telling me. I'm the franchise guy pay me like the franchise guy. It's gonna happen
11:33Yeah, I think it will as well. I wonder what the numbers look like. That's kind of the conversation now, right?
11:41we would both anticipate that Jordan love to a tongue of Iloa and
11:46Or Dak Prescott when they sign if they sign it will all be something in the ballpark of at least
11:5351 million dollars to join the six quarterbacks that make more than 50 mil per year annually in the National Football League
12:00Is it going to match that of Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow at 55 million dollars per year?
12:06To be the highest paid QBs in the NFL and a National Football League history, Donny
12:11Do you think that all three guys when slash if they sign that we just mentioned Jordan love Dak Prescott to a tongue of Iloa?
12:17Do you think their base is?
12:2055 million dollars per year
12:22Yes, I do think that and also you get back to that Dolphins scenario, which it's kind of crazy to think about it
12:28Maybe they were thinking that okay, we're not gonna pay him
12:30We're just gonna wait it out because eventually those concussions gonna pop up then we can move on now not to say they want to
12:35Move on from the quarterback, but boy this makes it such like if you're looking at Dak Prescott
12:39Like yes, he's been injured in his career, but not really the concussion
12:42So if you sign him to a long-term deal, right, we're not asking the same questions Jordan love been the same way
12:46You're not asking the same question
12:48But to attack I've always such an interesting one because like one concussion in week number two could derail that massive
12:54Contract that he just got and I'm sure that's being weighed in now
12:57The reason sometimes these take a little bit longer
12:59You might have language that the Dolphins are trying to get through this contract that we haven't seen in any other quarterback contracts now
13:05We've seen guaranteed money for injury. Okay, if you snap you're like it can't play again
13:09You're getting X amount of money, but I know they're fighting between like hey, man
13:12Look if this ends on a concussion, we got to make sure the insurance is there
13:15We're gonna make sure that guaranteed dollars are right because think about this man
13:18He plays next year and signs a five-year extension. He gets two concussions next year
13:23Hey, look, I got to hang it up. The NFL doesn't come in and say oh, you know what? That's a shame
13:27We'll wipe that off the books completely
13:29You're basically gonna pay to a tag about lower on the books for four more years until his contract is done
13:34That's what's so tough about this negotiation between the Dolphins and sewer
13:39Last year no issue. He played in all 18 games for Miami including that playoff game
13:44Against the Chiefs that did not go very well as you see he led the National Football League in passing yards last year
13:544624 I think there are questions about all three quarterbacks that we have mentioned if they are worth
14:01$55 million perhaps that's not the right one given where the salary cap and the inflated salaries are for the quarterback market
14:08But it's not like you're attempting to pay
14:11Patrick Wilhelms in arguing should he be paid as the highest quarterback in the National Football League?
14:17Dak Prescott has had his postseason woes as has the Dallas Cowboys as an organization
14:23For the better part of the last three decades same questions around to a tongue-of-my-loa great in this Miami offense
14:29But is that because of Tua or is he a product of the scenario around him and Jordan loves?
14:35Sensational down the stretch last year, but it's still a very small sample size
14:40Now, let's get to some injury concerns around some quarterbacks Anthony Richardson
14:45Only four games last year in his rookie campaign had season-ending shoulder surgery
14:50Very early on is good to go is a full go for all of training camp in Indianapolis
14:57It's a really good sign
14:59but I'm interested to see how he changes his play because what made him so dynamic was the ability to be basically the best open
15:06Field runner in the NFL and he's a quarterback, but you can't take that beating
15:10He based got knocked out of every single game. He played we know he can't do that
15:14But I don't want to see them take away what he does best
15:17Which means being athletic outside the pocket making plays because that's what's gonna make the cult so dynamic here
15:23This is gonna be an interesting one to watch in year number two because we're expecting that maturation process
15:27But we didn't get to see him as his rookie year. So the fact though it feels like this again is gonna be his rookie
15:32Year, let's see how he progresses
15:34Only two fully completed games in which he start it started and ended
15:39He had more rushing TDs for last year than he did throwing touchdowns
15:44Only three speaking of quarterbacks ready to go
15:47Daniel Jones has been fully cleared for contact and 11 on 11 drills for the New York Giants cool
15:56And here's the best part about this tweet probably 90% of the Giants fans saw that come out from the beat writers like come on
16:03Man, we're hoping he wasn't ready to go this year. I've seen out there for the Giants
16:08Listen hard knocks is a fun thing. Of course, it is illustrious in NFL circles, but when there is cameras
16:16following your front offices every move
16:20Certain words are said that you maybe don't want to popularize
16:24Out there to the public like they were fully in on trying to trade up for Jaden Daniels and Drake may but couldn't do it
16:32So Danny dives is their guy. Oh
16:35Boy more around the NFL with training camp underway
16:39Then we have talked a lot of training camp news and notes around the NFL
16:43One of my favorite parts is taking a short tweet or an update and deciding if it actually matters or perhaps
16:51Overreacting to it Lamar Jackson missed the first few days of Baltimore training camp
16:56Just at least on the practice field was in the facility reported the camp on time
17:01Not of anything like that
17:03But has been around meetings just not on the practice field as he's been feeling slightly under the weather
17:08I guess that's been the report out of the flock yesterday out on the practice field for the first time in camp
17:15But only for about a single hour before he walked off the field and looked weary
17:21To the reporters that were there DRS we overreacting or is it just hot in the summer?
17:28He wasn't feeling great. It needs to get better hydration. I think we're I think we're overacting a little bit and again case in point
17:34I'm that fine-tuned athlete here still my mid-40s at this point in a couple weeks
17:39I wasn't feeling all that good got away for a couple days came back really refreshed
17:42So I know exactly what Lamar Jackson is going through right now in training camp
17:46It's not a good sign because you hope it's not anything that's gonna be longer term
17:49But everybody's had those but I mean look you are a fine-tuned athlete out there in high humidity
17:54Expected to run around at peak performance
17:56And if you're not feeling well
17:58It doesn't feel all that good to be out there like just think about sitting in your cubicle driving around or even doing this job
18:03Like oh, I'm a little bit under the weather, but I can sort of get through it
18:06It's hard to do that as a professional athlete in a pro practice. I'm not worried about it one bit here
18:10Just a shame. They started off camp this way and have those question marks, but long term wise
18:14I don't think we're gonna have any issues here and
18:17Neither were the Ravens by all reports John Harbaugh Todd Monk in the offensive coordinator like hey the guy's been here
18:24He's not feeling great. We'll be all good
18:26But speaking of not feeling great in the hot humidity of summertime ball at training camp
18:32Makai Becton a new
18:35Philadelphia Eagle the former offensive lineman and first-round pick for the New York Jets a big fella
18:41Working out yesterday in the Philly Sun in the Philly summer threw up about four times
18:47Along the sideline who amongst us hasn't thrown up on a football field before
18:53Me I've never actually done that here
18:55So there you go, and I've been thousands of miles as a wide receiver
18:59But I have seen most a lot since a most people a lot of people have done that whether it's just something's not agreeing with
19:04You in your stomach or we've all been there before
19:06Maybe it didn't work out as hard as you need it to because nothing can guarantee
19:10I was like this to them you have the guys like I'm working out away from the team right now
19:13Nothing can simulate being in an actual practice in those moments here
19:17so the minute you start to hit those gassers and you're tired and you got three more to go and usually the big
19:22Ugly's got a run last and they all get cheered on boy. It's tougher
19:26Look, I was running around in high school what a buck 75 buck 70 here some dudes running around at 300 pounds
19:31Yeah, that's a lot tougher you so I don't mind when the big boys do it because they're carrying that extra weight in that extra
19:37Heat man, let him get some relief man. Come on
19:40McGyver Becton out of Louisville listed at six seven and
19:46364 pounds. So yeah, he's carrying around a lot of
19:52Weight speaking of Philadelphia DRS. We pour some out at the end of this year for an all-time bird
19:59Brandon Graham confirming to reporters at the start of training camp that this year in
20:052024 his 15th in the National Football League all of them as a member of the Eagles
20:11Organization will be his 15th and final year in the National Football League Donny right side
20:17The four is your to pay some respect to a great, Philadelphia Eagle
20:22Yeah number I don't want to rip the guy but we didn't we already know this was his final season when he signed originally here
20:27But let that's out of the picture. I'm gonna take that away all good vibes here
20:31Watch the show kid doesn't watch the show. Some of my family members actually do watch the show, but they know this
20:36I mean BG's strip sack fumble Tom Brady
20:39I mean you want to go back is the greatest moment in my entire life right now
20:43I gotta be real quiet at this point, but it literally was the greatest moment my life
20:47Thank You BG if you want to sign for another five six seven years you go ahead and do it
20:51Moments like that were made for me just to say you know what I lived a full and healthy life
20:57Now can be my time at this point, thank you Brandon Graham from the bottom of my heart
21:02It is one of my favorite recurring bits on this show not our mispronunciation of Major League Baseball
21:09That's why I love it so much
21:12That your wife and daughter do not watch the show so that you can share openly
21:18What you truly feel most people probably put on the facade all the day
21:22My first kid was born one of the greatest days of my life the day that I got married the best day of my life
21:28Donnie really lets you know how it is the Eagles winning a Super Bowl in
21:34BG with the strip sack of Tom Brady truly the best moments of his life. I
21:39Mean unbelievable. I mean I could just go back to that moment right now. I mean, but there's not many memories. I remember
21:44That's one memory. I'll always remember how about that. Yeah, let's let you look off into the distance and
21:50Reminisce and soak up the good times and
21:56Our number two
