00:00Think this is gonna be the last time we talk about Brandon IU so here's the deal
00:08Apparently the
00:1049ers despite what they say and
00:12They say that they want to keep IU they've been talking at least to some extent to four teams
00:19including the Washington commanders
00:23But the latest reports is now how do you have how do you have confirmation that they were talking?
00:28I don't have any personal confirmation other than I read stories. Okay. I know there's been speculation. I think it's they've been linked. Yes
00:36so the latest is
00:39that the commanders aren't interested in
00:42Brandon IU and
00:43That it's down to two teams the Patriots and Steelers now publicly the 49ers still are kind of saying we want IU
00:51But it seems like they are legitimately
00:54Entertaining trade offers and the latest from some of these insiders is there's the framework of a deal
01:02So we'll see what happens, but it seems like the commanders are out
01:10Commanders are out. I don't disagree with you there
01:12I don't think they've been seriously in I think that they've you know
01:16Going back to hard knocks that first conversation that Shane had with Dan Morgan
01:23Which ultimately led to a deal? I think that they may have had that type of conversation
01:28Yeah brief for five seconds. Yeah, like hey, you know, what would it take? Would you be interested?
01:33But then they've never seriously pursued. In fact, I think they've been annoyed by him
01:38I think they've been annoyed by are you constantly showing up and you know with Jaden and
01:46Lou and kind of like using Jaden as leverage
01:49I think they've been annoyed by him more than they've been interested in him
01:54But that's my theory and I don't think they were ever serious players. It's just it doesn't fit the timeline
02:00It's we're still here in the very first stage of beginning stages the infancy stages of this, you know rebuild
02:07I just but again, this never seemed plausible. The latest is according to sources
02:14Sources that told ESPN the 49ers are now willing to listen to trade offers
02:21For Brandon, I you and have given the star wide receiver permission to negotiate a contract with the other teams, right is
02:29Adam Peters blowing it by not getting in the mix. No, so supposedly the Patriots and
02:36Browns have both been in contact with the Niners and
02:40Are interested the Steelers apparently were interested but barring a change did not appear to be a potential trade destination any longer
