About this episode

Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler are back to catch up on a TON of news that came out of Indianapolis over the weekend before we turn our focus to free agency. We start with the news (7:29): the 49ers have traded WR Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders (9:44), QB Matthew Stafford and the Rams agreed on a new contract (15:26), Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is officially coming back for at least another season (17:26), the Jets are taking calls about WR Davante Adams (22:43), the Eagles have cut CB Darius Slay in a cap-saving move (24:50), the Cowboys are planning to use the franchise tag on DT Osa Odighizuwa (27:03), we have some new trade rumors and reports (27:29), and other news to hit (28:03). Then, it's time for a Zusser Media Minute (30:18) to talk Hard Knocks developments. After the break, we're joined by Sam Monson and Steve Palazzolo of Check The Mic to preview NFL Free Agency (40:59), covering the available quarterbacks (45:26), wide receivers (53:56), defensive players (58:16), weaker position groups (1:01:57), and favorite available players (1:03:29). Before we say goodbye, we're interrupted by the developing news that Bengals WR Tee Higgins has been franchise tagged for the second straight offseason (1:06:02). Finally, before signing off, we have an important announcement to make about the HTC Patreon (1:09:44).
