00:00I need to get to this Sunday night football game.
00:05We're going to put the quarterbacks on the afterburner right now.
00:07But news broke earlier today, Hassan Reddick looking to join the Jets again.
00:12How did this come to fruition and what can we expect out of Hassan Reddick now?
00:16It's really, Donny, it's really because of the change in agencies.
00:19Drew Rosenhaus, his new agent, is very aggressive.
00:22Talk to clubs who've dealt with Drew.
00:23He's a dealmaker.
00:24He has not gotten an extension done.
00:27They've renegotiated Reddick's $14.5 million.
00:30As you know, Donny, he lost a lot of that due to fines and missed game checks.
00:34So what they've done is, while you can't rescind the fines, you can make up for it by paying
00:39over the fines, paying over the money.
00:42And that contract, as I understand, has not been filed yet, but they have an agreement.
00:45So I look forward to talking about that with Pharrell & Sports Group coming this week.
00:50But I thought Drew did a good job to figure out a way where both sides are happy.
00:55Reddick, in a sense, is going to get his money back, but he's not going to make the
00:58kind of money he thought or should get or wanted to get.
01:01That didn't happen.
01:02And the Jets get a pass rusher.
01:03Don't forget, guys, they lost Jermaine Johnson, their star pass rusher.
01:07Very underrated player for the season to do that 200 killings many weeks ago.
01:11And they really need that pass rusher.
01:12Will McDonald's filling in the first round of Iowa State last season, but he's not Hassan
01:17Reddick.
01:18And Hassan Reddick should do really well in this scheme where they play that wide nine
01:22front where the ends are outside of tackles.
01:25That will fit Hassan Reddick very well.
01:26Now, the question is, when is he going to be ready?
01:29He's going to report tomorrow.
01:30They'll get him in practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday leading up to the next game.
01:34But they got to see what kind of shape he's in because don't forget, guys, as I'm told,
01:39he told the club he'd be there for training camp.
01:41He wasn't.
01:42He didn't do that.
01:43So they have no idea what kind of game shape he's in.
01:45Cap, let's stick in that game.
01:48They're going to be going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers and it won't be Justin Fields.
01:52It'll be, in fact, Russell Wilson seemed to have shocked many Pittsburgh fans.
01:58What did you hear in regards to the situation?
02:00Joe, this shocked a lot of people around the league.
02:02This is something like when you text people to get a reaction.
02:07Sometimes personal people or coaches around the league, Joe, they're they're like, OK,
02:12I get what they were doing, but that's not the reactions that I got.
02:16It's more like, wait a minute.
02:18The team is four and two.
02:20Why are you benching this quarterback?
02:22It's one thing, Joe, if they had a younger quarterback that they wanted to get in there.
02:26They don't.
02:27They have Russell Wilson turns 36 in November.
02:30And now I did say on sports before the season started around August, despite Fields having
02:34a good training camp, there was no debate.
02:37Justin Fields was not going to be the start.
02:39It's going to be Russell.
02:40Russell Wilson, if healthy.
02:42But Joe, he had that setback with a calf injury with that calf strain right before the season
02:46started.
02:47So this is unheard of.
02:48I've been in this business 27 years.
02:50It's very rare for a team to bench a winning quarterback.
02:54We can debate how good Fields has played.
02:55The last two starts were not as good.
02:57That's a fact.
02:58I get it.
02:59But the other thing is, guys, they need help at wide receiver.
03:02It's George Pickens and no one else.
03:04Roman Wilson, who they thought would start week one, he had a high ankle sprain, I'm
03:08told.
03:09That was that injury.
03:10The ankle injury was actually a high ankle sprain.
03:11Now, unfortunately, now it's a hamstring injury.
03:13So guys, they got to do something receiver.
03:16And I know they're on the trade market anyway.
03:18Remember, they tried to get Brainerd and IU.
03:19If they're looking for a receiver, they're one of many teams right now looking for a
03:22wide receiver as we get closer to that trade deadline of November 5th.
