[Assistant] They're spending 70 million dollars at quarterback. You have 64 on Deshaun, which hasn't been restructured and looks like it's not gonna be, which goes back to the conversation we had the other day. And Jameis, I would imagine the cap at least has to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3, 4, 5 million minimum this year. We'll see what the final numbers look like. You're spending 70 million on your quarterback. It does hamper the type of big dollar deals that you can do in free agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're, if you're relying on free agency to build your team in the NFL, you're screwed. Yeah. Like, yes. A free agency should be... The finishing touches. It should be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you're deficient, where you missed on a draft pick. And we blew it here so we have to go sign this guy so we can find someone else to develop to fill that spot. But if you're consistently shopping


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he had a really good draft last year. A really good draft. Like, what am I missing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, these guys are phenomenal at finding and developing and drafting defensive backs. They've really knocked that out of the park. Yes, they have. Now that could only transfer to other positions, but the point I was making was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a year from now we're going to look at that list and say, there's a bust. There's a bust. Right, yeaah. But right now, I mean, one year into Anthony Schwartz, you're like, oh my god, that's a bust. Yeaah. And there's nothing that we think is a bust now. I just think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more time and experience you have at doing something, you're gonna get better at it. And that's the point I made before, is that they turned over regimes so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody ever had a chance to learn from their mistakes. And these guys have been afforded the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I think you're seeing the proof and the benefit of this didn't work. This is what we can learn from this going forward. And you've seen the progression and you've seen these guys get better at their jobs. Hopefully I'm better at my job now than I was my first time doing it. And that's just nature with all of this stuff, but you have to give them time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to let them make mistakes. And they've finally done that with, and they did make mistakes early on. And we can circle all the picks that they really blew early on. But, I'll tell you what, it's getting better and better and better. They, and that's why they bolster you in extensions. Yes, I can't, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't care. There's no cap on coaches and he's got plenty of money. But the price is going up. It's weird that they haven't been signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steelers can run the ball. We know that. Ravens now. Who's the Bengals back now? Zach Moss. That's right. Chase Brown. Yeaah. Yeaah. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to know, and I haven't run the numbers, we won't know until we see the contracts with the Browns cap situation as of right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, they've got plenty of money, but just, I'll be curious to see how some of these deals are structured. And I'll be curious to see what happens when Nick Chubbs comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't going to get a job last year until the Browns called. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, hey, Mike, what were you going to say about Schefter before the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't, uh, isn't Lawrence still on his rookie deal? He is. Well, that's how. That's part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am so fascinated by this Justin Fields thing now. I know I mentioned it earlier, but it is interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But where, where is he gonna go? What's Chicago, Chicago gonna get? Nothing for him now. No. Nothing. No. And he would be like a Trey Lance type situation where you would trade for him if you're unsure or unsteady about your starter maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but he's actually performed decently at times, unlike Trey Lance. Agreed, but, but the situation that he's in, there's nothing else, unless it's Denver. What else is there? Minnesota?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patriots will draft quarterback. Washington. The first three picks are probably Chicago. Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm Seattle, I'd look at that. I'd look at that hard. If you can get them for nothing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever the Browns got from Carolina is probably what Chicago is going to get from Fields at this point, I would think, right? Like it's a very similar situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the feeling I got at the combine was, that is over. They're taking Caleb Williams and they're trading fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I agree with that. I think it's a no-brainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The calves have to settle on a rotation. They have a lot of questions. This is not a normal inconsistency. They've got issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on Jason saying that you have to get like the most value when you trade. So I'm going to trade Jason because I think he's the most valuable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now this next one's kinda tough between the cut and the keep. Uhm, based on two years of history, I would have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would keep bowl. Thank you. Uhm, you know, cause I mean, it's tough to make that decision, but the Octavius would be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man, let's get going with this, man. Steve, you can take Tag more forward. Uh, I want to give a special shout out to Warrensville Lady Tigers senior forward.

[Assistant] Chelsea Johnson, who won the Northeast District 3 Player of the Year award. Uh, Chelsea averages 11 points a game, 8 rebounds a game, 1.5 assists, 2.1 steals a game in 23 games. She is a huge part


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they're one of the fastest teams that you will see play. They very well condition. This is a close-knit group that works extremely hard. These girls is in the gym at 6 a.m. before school start putting in work. They go to school, they get out of school and go back to the gym and put in more work. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, they play Wednesday against Keystone and this is the regional semi-finals. Uh, Keystone is 26-0. Warransville is 22-2. We played Loudonville earlier in the season. Loudonville was undefeated. They left with a loss, so. Hold the yell. And Keystone, I don't want to make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Chelsea Johnson, the, uh, Northeast division three player of the year, man. Shout out to her. Shout out to Warrensville Lady Tigers. Good luck. Oh y'all run to the state championship, man. Go get it done. Bring that title home. That's awesome. Let's do it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't not only SP'ing no more, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It texted us that it was the best vaca- or tweeted, excuse me, that it was the best vacation of his life. That's fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this though, I called Bull on Thursday or Friday, we chatted for a minute. He said he met a fan down in Tampa, a fan in a breakfast spot, recognized Bull who watches your CSS every day, which is always cool. We know, we know people in Cleveland watch us, but half our audience is not from the Ohio. To meet a fan in Tampa, I think he was, is another little feather in the cap for Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was 8 and a half minutes of joyous occasion and we gotta get to some much more serious. I'm trying to put it off. I know on the opposite side of the spectrum, we'll talk about the Cavs, the Browns, and even a little Guardians, which should be a positive.

[Assistant] the ultimate Cleveland sports show. And last night guys on national TV, the Cleveland Cavaliers frankly laid an egg without Donovan Mitchell. The Knicks were without.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it looked very similar in a bad way to last season's playoff matchup between the two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to start with this specific question, and Steve, take Tagboard Fall here a second, and if you could play that video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Josh Hart hit the dagger in the corner, this is a tweet from Earl of Parlor guy on the set. You can see Josh Hart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of flicking Donovan Mitchell's chain as he ran back down the court. Now those two were friends off the court. But even still, when you see something like this happen, and Earl, I'll start with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are the Cavs soft to allow this to happen to them on their home court in that scenario? And is anything you've seen this season erase the preconceived notion you had of this team from last playoff series where I know we all kind of came to the conclusion they just weren't tough enough to advance in the NBA playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 13? There's 7 and 6 without Mitchell. I'm not sure. I'll look at the last 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The games where Mobley was hurt. Okay. These are only in games where both Mobley and Alan have been together. Okay. And this is from Yaya Dubin who writes for a bunch of different NBA websites. Very good on the numbers guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, the Cavs are better with only Mobley and only Allen on the court when they are together. With only Mobley, they have a net rating of plus 5.9. With only Allen, they have a net rating of plus 12.6. When the two play together, the net rating is just 4.6 in the positive. So all three positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a 4.6 together, a 5.9 with just Mobley, a 12.6 for just Alan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to throw that out there. So G, I'm going to pull up your tweet now. It confirms my eye test though. And this is a tweet from G Bush last night. G, do you want to read your own tweet here? We'll pull it up on full screen for you. If not, I'll read it and you can kind of give us the thought process behind these words. Z, take tag word full here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ananobe or Brunson, I've seen all I need to see. The offense is trash. No movement. Defense ain't much better either. But the worst part is no enthusiasm whatsoever after the wipe the floor with us. Hart, 13 freaking rebounds as a guard. He ended up with 19. Gee, the floor is yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just chill. My question though before we go to the next part of the Cavs discussion, we're going to make that second clip in a sec. We all agree, and I'm with you guys, today right now, February 4th, Cavs are a soft basketball team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a hard loss to swallow considering they were down to eight players a minute into the game and without Brunson on the court, theoretically the Cavs should have had the three best players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're going to talk one thing that was a positive from the game last night. But before we do that, if you want to go to the Cav Celtics game tomorrow night.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one thing we do have to acknowledge from last night was Sam Merrill's sharp shooting. He's developed into an absolute weapon on the perimeter off the bench for the Cavs. His minutes are in flux. Some games he plays 28 minutes like last night. Some games he gets DMP coaches decisions. Do you guys think Sam Merrill has earned?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes one or two steps either way, just to create a small shooting window for a guy. And he's doing it off the dribble too. Twice last night, he took it off the dribble, which is something he hadn't done that much in prior games. This Washington Yang here, he's spot shadowed, goes up. Nope. Defender gets lazy, goes to the corner. He is by far their best off ball mover. And for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over Karris Levert and George Neang when they're not making jump shots. Oh, that's the only option?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, you want to go four out one in, that is a very valuable option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike knows what I'm going. Mike knows where to go there. He's not going to take Darius Garland's minutes. Those aren't the minutes he's taking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not taking Darius Garland. There are minutes to take away from Karis Levert. There are minutes, George Niang, who I love. Awesome dude. Can't hit the broads out of a barn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one thing that my eyes have told me, and I don't have the number, I'll look into this for the Ultimate Cav Show on Wednesday this week, it's not Tuesday, it's Wednesday. When they play two bigs, nobody seems to struggle more in two big sets versus one big set than Garland. I agree! The lack of space, for whatever reason, and I don't have an answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seems to be affected more by the lack of space creative but to not shooting big than anyone else. What is your theory on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a little point guard who is an aggressive driver, leaves his feet a lot and then has to be, is forced to make passes through the trees. And when you have two big sitting in the paint, there's not enough space, 28 feet of arms in the lane and it gets dipped. I don't know if the numbers back it up. That's what my attest tells me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Till Mitchell makes a move, they are handcuffed. Alright, we're gonna talk a little Browns in a second. Speaking of Browns, as we do every Monday, the Ultimate Brown Show with G. Bush airs at 5 o'clock today. It's G. Bush, 30 minutes uninterrupted of all Browns coverage. We talked with Quincy Carrier on Friday about some draft combine prospects. G, what's on the agenda for today's ultimate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of Mike Evans, that is exactly what our next topic is. I want to read you a quote from Mike Evans' agent over the weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike wants to play with an elite quarterback in an offense that will showcase him and be paid like a top receiver. He doesn't want to play with a rookie quarterback. Winning a Super Bowl is a key priority. Fast forward to this morning and Steve take tag board full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 35 guaranteed. He has a real chance to start and finish his career as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. Good for him. The question was, going to be today, do the Browns fit that criteria for Mike Evans? But this is the second marquee receiver in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen in theory linked to the Browns DeAndre Hopkins last year say, I want to play for a Super Bowl. That's my top priority. I want to play with a great quarterback. Now it's the second receiver in a row who theoretically speaking,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you guys, let me ask you guys this G because this is the bigger picture now cause Evans is clearly out of the picture. Higgins was franchise tagged. I was using Hopkins and Evans saying they got the bag. It's just two guys who ended up taking very favorable deals to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think wide receivers as we look at the rest of the market, Gabe Davis, Marquise Brown, Calvin Ridley, whoever else you could throw into that category.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it gonna come down to whichever team throws them the most money? Or do you believe any of those guys would take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would take a little bit of a discount to come play with the Browns. Or not even a discount, but if another team, let's use a giant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four years for 70 million, but the Browns are only willing to go four years for 60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are some receivers who showed out well at the combine.

[Assistant] Just visit FanDuel.com slash UCSS to shoot your shot. FanDuel, an official sportsbook partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the NBA. We talked on the offensive side of the ball. How about we talk about the defensive side of the ball? Earl, you mentioned potentially spending


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of money on a defensive player. One guy who has been linked to the Cleveland Browns now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Christian Wilkins, the defensive tackle out of Miami who is unlikely to get the franchise tag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an article on ESPN.com about the Dolphins deciding not to extend the franchise tag to Christian Wilkins, which by the way, the deadline's tomorrow, that could always change, but at this point, it looks unlikely. Jeremy Fowler wrote, and I quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Houston is an intriguing option here. The Texans have ample cap space, a quarterback early on a rookie deal, and a playoff roster, but there would be several teams in the mix though. The Browns, good for a splash or two, for instance. Would they strengthen an already stout defensive line with a versatile DT?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Jay, you were here last week when, uh, Jason Lloyd talked about, he asked Andrew Barry directly at the combine. And you go back, it's from Thursday, or I think it was Thursday show, and said this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked Andrew Barry directly, is restructuring Watson an offseason priority for you? He said not necessarily. So Jason, Jason wrote a whole article on it. No, I think it'll still happen. But the reason you may not restructure Watson's contract is if you're not convinced the Sean will get back to the Sean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is why I think Miles, who right now just won Defensive Player of the Year, is no longer the highest paid edge rusher. He's closer to five than he is to one at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can give him an extension, give it all in bonuses, and make that cap hit go from 20 to about 8 million dollars, open up 12 more million in free agency. Which by the way, I think happens, and I think the Sean happens too. I still think the Sean happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me point out two ties that Wilkins has to the Browns real quick. A, he was college teammates with the Sean Watson at Clemson and B, his agent, David Muligeta also represents the Sean Watson, which may be why the two were tied in the ESPN article. G, when you look at Wilkins and what he's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is one of, if not, oh, he's not the best defense back in football. It's not even close, but he is in that conversation outside of the Chris Jones top, top, top tier category, that tier two guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How dominant, theoretically speaking, if he were to come to Cleveland, could the Browns defensive line look like with Edgerusher, whoever they end up going out and get this offseason, whether it's Zidarius, and then Wilkins, Tomlinson, and Miles as your other three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nothing else, the Earl's Point with Michael Woods, it just adds another level of competition for guys like David Bell, Cedric Tillman, guys in the end of the wide receiver court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the weekend, ESPN had their bold off-season predictions, and one of them in particular


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caught my particular attention, and now this is not the only outlet who is mentioning a similar situation, but this was a bold prediction, an off-season, uh, projection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Seth Walder of ESPN. I'm going to read this for you guys. Seth Walder of ESPN said, quote, if I were the Browns, I would look at the Sean Watson as a mostly sunk cost and try to upgrade a quarterback with no first round pick and so much money already heading Watson's way. This would be tough to do, but trading a second or third round pick for fields still on a rookie contract is feasible. And I like to see fields in Kevin Stefanski's offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This morning, Benjamin Solak of The Ringer, I see if you can take tag board. You can't read this, but wrote his 10 Combine Observations where he also mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonsense. They're becoming the boy who cried wolf. Hold on. Back me up. Read the question I actually put in the rundown. In regard to this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We already talked about the Browns not wanting to spend too much money in the back of quarterback. Jay, you've advocated they should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Justin Fields would be the most expensive back-up quarterback in football if the Browns were to trade for him. So would you trade a second, third, fourth round pick for the most expensive back-up football? Still set to make almost 10 million dollars next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, what does he have left on that rookie contract? One year? Yes, you have to decide immediately if you want to pick up the 50 years. It makes no sense. The whole thing makes no sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evaluating quarterbacks is the hardest thing to do in football. It's crazy. The hit rate over the last 10 years, uh, Ryan Russo did a hit or miss. I love Ryan.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So far through spring training, we see Shane Bieber hitting 94 on the gun. Very promising sign, but even more impressively is what Angel Martinez, the young infielder has done from the plate. Switch hitting 22 years old. He's bad in 571 this off season, almost has spring training on off season, excuse me, nearly three home runs. And he's making a real push to not only be an opening day guy, but potentially a starter. What have you seen from Angel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna talk about LeBron, but I wanna read the super chats first so we can have the last few minutes here to speak on LeBron James. And today's super chats are brought to us by the people of UCSS, because we love the fans who watch us every day, you guys. Truly do make this job the best in the world. Blue Aqua starts off our super chats today saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our Mac dog said, yes, the calves are soft and it's embarrassing that JB has not found a way to beat the Knicks. New York without their two superstars, their second string bench players beat the calves at home. JJ said, Hey bro, uh, how bro let that slide man TF up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roddy's bottom line has two. He says JB hasn't learned his lessons from last year. You don't play with two bigs and they, uh, and they play with one guy with four guards. Young Bull in reference to Colin Sexton still averaging almost 20 points a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Halim Youssef says, I have bad news for you guys. Next year, Denzel Ward will be traded or cut. Nusa moves back outside and is extended. They can't afford to keep Ward for a third contract. And Michael McGee says WWE SummerSlam coming to Cleveland in August, which is going to be a fun event, uh, for everyone coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, over the weekend though guys, LeBron James eclipsed the 40,000 point mark in his career, becoming the first player in NBA history to ever reach 40,000 career points. We've seen scoring in the NBA go up and up and up.

[Assistant] Do you think 40,000 will ever be eclipsed by another player? Or is LeBron James in the 40,000 point club? Will that end as a club of one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's incredible, G. This, this puts a little context. So Kevin Durant, widely regarded as maybe the best pure scorer of the basketball ever, right? Now he's had injuries, but he's no young chicken, been in the league for quite a while. He's ninth all time in the NBA and scoring list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 28,000 points. He's 12,000 behind LeBron. 12,000. The closest guy, if anyone's gonna break it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, guys we know about now, Luka Doncic has 11,000 and he just turned 25.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to play for another 16 years. And that's why he won't do it. And I agree. I'm just saying, if one person quote unquote is on pace, it's Lucas scoring's up, but look at LeBron's body. No disrespect to Luca, but.

[Assistant] Yeah, I got two of them for you real quick. Uh, from our friend Daryl, U-C-S-S goes hard, shout out to Tyvis G. McNuggets, Earl, best sports show in the town, bar none. And then from Setapart Laz, the Browns have to come out hard and fast, hashtag pause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did y'all know this is the first time that the UCSS has had a panel that's 30 and over but under 40?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I guess I double down on my original stance of Jimmy Haslem should pay for it. And before anybody jump in here saying, well, you know, if the city wants any part of the shared revenue or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should pay for it, and that's cool. I respect that if you're a resident from the city of Cleveland. But if you're making $100,000 plus and you don't even live in the city of Cleveland, I have a hard time hearing you tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actual residents that's in the city to pay for it, but check this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the article, and Steve, you can pull this up. This is an article that I've seen on usnews.com in September of 2023. Cleveland ranked as the third poorest city in the United States with a median household income of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a government set estimate of the point below which a household of a given size has a pre-tax income insufficient


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To meet minimum basic needs. They basically accumulated this list, 239 larger cities in the United States, with populations over 100,000. As of this year, Cleveland is the second poorest city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the United States, the medium household income is $37,351.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was updated January 10th, 2024.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 2.6 billion that he just got on the back end, the 20%, falls around how much it would cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming to the mayor of the city of Cleveland, who grew up pouring the projects, by the way, saying, hey, I need your taxpayers to help me pay for this stadium. When you got so much more pressing issues, like in a, in a nutshell, if we keep it in a hundred, we are a broke ass city, right? We are poor city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just have a hard time with a billionaire coming to me saying, hey, I need you to pay for this. Now, on the flip side, I understand the pros and cons, you know, like the, the economical and political backfire it can have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Browns did not play downtown. I talked to a former councilwoman who served as a councilwoman for over 15 years and she flat out told me like, it would be catastrophic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Browns were to leave downtown, but the city doesn't have much leverage. The owners have all the leverage. The best thing we can do is try to find a way to beat the middle, but they will have to heavily incentivize us. So like, what does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will have to invest in jobs in the community. You will have to invest in development in the community. And so like, if you want the city to help pay for it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna have to make sure the city gets something on the back end because the saddest part about all of this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that this is a poor city and we gotta pay for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think the thing about the article that really stood out to me was the part about what they received on the back end. The last 20% of the payment made to the Haslam family was 2.6 billion. Jason sat here and said that it would cost around 2.2, 2.3 billion dollars to build a new stadium. And for me, I think Jimmy Haslam is a good owner. Depending on who you are, you might disagree with that. But in this city,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you got people who are still pissed off that you paid Deshaun Watson $230 million. And some of these same people who don't like that is the same people that you asking, hey, I need your tax money to pay for the stadium, right? And then we've seen you take a percentage of your money and you go invest in the Milwaukee Bucks, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen what you've done with the Columbus Crew. All I'm saying is, from the naked eye,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a local Clevelander, when we look out and we see you dishing out this money left and right, like you got it, it's almost like going to buy a new pair of J's and your car break down. So now all of a sudden, you'd have bought all these J's and you'd have put them in our face, now your car break down and you come to us and say, hey, I need help getting my car fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me neither, I don't think it is either. But like if I'm the mayor, it's like man, what incentives you got for my people? Okay, you wanna, let's have a real unemotional conversation, right? Because my take, there's some facts in it, but I'm emotionally driven off this. Like I said, like, he's from the Mount Pleasant Project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our mayor is 36 years old from the Mount Pleasant projects. And you got a billionaire in his group walking into your office saying, hey, I need your help paying for this. B.M. ain't never seen a million billion dollars in his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel what I'm saying? So like just from a basic human man to man standpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I got a hard time even having that conversation, but you know what? It ain't about me. It ain't about how I grew up. It's about the city of Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, it would be economically catastrophic, politically catastrophic if they was to leave here. But we don't have much leverage, right? We are limited in the space, downtown Cleveland, that we can even put a new stadium. And even if we found a place where the hell the Browns gonna play at until it's built. And then furthermore, like Jimmy-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like furthermore, like, what, what incentives do you have for the city of Cleveland? Like how many jobs are you going to create? How can you assist the city? That's a struggling city. If you, if you claim on a long-term investment in the city of Cleveland, well, how can you get us off that top five?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like how can you help us? And so like this, if we're going to have a real conversation about us putting our money towards it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then like yeaah, but it should be, it should definitely be some incentive there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, this is a moral thing, but when it comes to dollars and cents, morality tends to go out the window. Right? We know that. It's just, it's just unfortunate. I do think this thing is going to end up in, in Brook Park. I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Andrew Berry comes out to speak to the media today, I hope the first thing that comes out is Malfus. What's up, y'all? This is First to Think First. Me and Kevin Stefanski just both signed contract extensions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are going to be here for the long haul. So with that being said, it's time for me to get busy. Uh, we're going to be aggressive in the off season like Ty just said. I want you to also know that I've had preliminary talks with Nick Tuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're working on a new re that will keep him in Cle that we're going to start working on a new deal for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that Brown's fans shouldn't worry that we understand the team's needs and we're going to do everything in our power to address every single need. So this team next year, uh, can go contend for AFC championship and possibly make it to the Superbowl. We understand that Amari Cooper has one year left. We understand that he's a wide receiver that's aging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to do everything in our power to try to keep him possibly on the new deal. But we definitely, definitely are out here looking for more weapons to go on the offensive side of the ball to help a struggling wide receiver court. And most importantly, our franchise quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, you know, when you got good football players on your team, you want to do everything in your power to like keep those dudes here. And Taki Taki has been more than serviceable throughout his NFL career since he's been here. And, uh, it'd be interesting to see him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of like, you know, permanently take over that role and what do you do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get 10 to 12 games out of this dude with the production that he put forth last year and as he alluded to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're in year two of a system, things kind of slow down, you know, you're able to do what you do even better. I'm all for bringing him back, even with the concerns of him being hurt. It's just simple because I know when he gets me when he out there on the field. Same thing with Shelby Harris, like even though he's a veteran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like those PB users are real, you know what I mean? When we do those game stats on Sundays after the games and it's, it don't look like it's much, but when you actually watched it and you realized the impact that he have on a football game, I can see why you want to bring him back. I can also see why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that that's alarming, you know, but not in a bad way, more so in a good way. And so that could show his growth if you, if you so speak as a GM, you know, maybe you can find the, uh, uh, upgrade there, but I think like once we see players get franchise tagged and we actually know what the free agent market will look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we have a better idea of the route that they're going to go, especially with that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think I can understand in this case again why he's willing to let him hit the open market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a dude that you drafted who was the best tight end coming out of college, best pass catching tight end coming out of college. He won the Mackey, right? Yea. And so like, when you don't kind of get the return on investment, as far as production on the football field from him, you could be a little bit reluctant to want to travel that road again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see the Browns actually drafting a tight end either way. This year in the draft, but you know, you're not gonna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not gonna like overpay this dude. And so it is smart to go out there and let him set his own market based on his production over the first four years. And if the Browns can get him back at a decent price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And show that he's that dude and he's only gonna get better. We've heard Deshaun Watson talk about, man, we finna be passing this ball left and right. And then when you go back to, you know, watching Ken Dorsey be the offensive coordinator and, and, uh, Buffalo, like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's really time to cash in on a legit star pass rusher opposite of Myles Garrett. And I'm saying that I love Agbo and I love Alex Wright. I think when they drafted Alex Wright, they viewed him as the pass rusher of the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as good as Ogbo is, I can't see him as an every down pass rusher, which is why I keep coming back to a dude like Brian Burns. I think it's time to spend some serious dollars opposite of Miles Garrett, lock you up a 25, 26 year old pass rusher for the next four or five years and stop


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this every off-season cycle of, let me go get me a defensive thing that's 30 plus years old on a one-year deal playing across, uh, miles. And then when the production don't match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We coming back here having conversations about Myles Garrett, Sacks going down. Yeah. Towards the end of the season because of his double teams and things like that. This is the one area to where I hope Andrew Berry is willing to take a different approach than he has the last three all season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my dilemma is this, I never want to turn away a guy who really wants to be inside my organization, right? Especially if it's not about dollars and cents. But at the same time, I'm really not sure if I want Zendaya Smith back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if I'm being honest, I'm not sure if I want him back. I need somebody that can be way more productive opposite of Miles Garrett, especially if we talking about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rolling what we have at the defensive tackle position on top of that, right? Like, let's let, like, Alex Wright continue to develop. Let's let, uh, Ogbo do what he does as a specialist and get a dude in here that can, like, truly dominate opposite of him. And I just don't think that dude is a Darius Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have on, on your roster and in your quarterback room, then a veteran who's been in this league 17, 18 years, that has seen damn near every type of defense, damn near every type of situation, and can help your franchise quarterback navigate some of the things that, some of the hurdles that he's gonna, you know, have to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deal with as he cut back from this injury and just dealing with everything that's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being Deshaun Watson, right? And then you look at the fact that Deshaun Watson is coming off an injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so for me, Joe Flacco is that bridge. I know he's good for Deshaun Watson. I know for a fact, he can help a young pup like DTR become better. And I just think how he carries himself, like his mentality, his professionalism. I think he's good for the Browns franchise and I think he's good for the city of Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if he's a New England Patriot next year, then Philip Walker is your choice for backup cornerbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I was going to ask you, okay, if it's not Flacco, so you saying like, would you, would you consider another backup quarterback or would you just be okay with it being DTR?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can't get Joe Flacco, give me Jacoby Brissette back. Either way, I need a bridge between DTR and Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is the second person that I consider a true friend of mine that has actually participated at this event. Cecil? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He basically alluded to, he said, man, I got three, four years of tape at my own union. If you don't know what I can do by now, you ain't gonna never know what I can do. It is funny because like, I'm still interested as a fan because even though we don't have a first round pick,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of your starters and traditional role players that you see on the field all the time are not first round picks. They pick second round picks, third round picks, fourth round picks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless you're a Falcons offense, right? And so it'd be interesting to see who showed themselves that I might not know about so I can like gain some buzz and have somebody to talk about what we have in these, these conversations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you still gotta go out there and draft players. You can't fix every single thing in free agency. And a draft is typically when you kinda get that, that next guy that you hope to have developed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before, you know, that same player that played that position contract is up. And it's funny because, you know, Tyvis, you actually know my cousin and he has a story of how the combine can hurt you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my cousin D Miller, when he was coming out of Ohio State, was touted as a top 5 wide receiver in that draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get him to the combine and they twist and turn and stretch him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like, cause I remember, you remember back in the day you could get to play Diller around the combine and just show you the top five players in each position. And I still remember seeing his name on that list. He'd go to the combine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything he thought was gonna happen through his process was derailed simply because of the combine. So the combine can help you or hurt you. That's what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like what he said though, it make you think too much. So basically like if this was draft day and you have Vonte back no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you just seen Bo Callahan, now you in your head, and you just, you just talked yourself out of Vontae Mack, because you just seen Bo Callahan, only to find out his teammates didn't come to his birthday party, and you go back to draft Vontae Mack anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell people, like, people be thinking I'm crazy when I say this, but the only person, historically, in certain events faster than Jesse Owens? Ted Ginn Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this is good and bad to everything. If that was the case, the Cleveland Browns will have, have every Cleveland based player that's a dog playing for the Cleveland Browns right now. If a player was decided on where they was going to play at behind what a fan had to say. As far as Donovan Mitchell go listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about this already. He has prioritized winning. He has put pressure on the Cavs organization to put a team around him that can compete and that can win, possibly win an NBA championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think Donovan Mitchell was going to make a business decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a fine line between criticism, stating your opinion, and just being flat out disrespectful. And I think that's where he's getting to like, you can have a crazy ass opinion about something, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you being respectful, as long as like, you know, you understand everybody has an opinion, then we'll be cool. You might not like it. You might not agree with it, but you don't have to like verbally beat somebody up or like be out here trying to embarrass people or publicly trying to humiliate people. Like people don't know that's bully behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you exhibit bully behavior, everybody hates a bully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying he's good, I said he's a winner, that's what I said. He'd say he's a winner and somebody be like man Typhus is trash for that tape. He's a winner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a time, not gonna say his name, but I remember when Odell Beckham played here, and this was around the end of his tenure here, he ended up getting released and signing with, uh, with the Rams, like. Oh, he went off too. There's, there's, there's somebody who was giving their opinion, and it was like, yeaah, that dude is a clown. And see, like, he can attest to that, like, that's something that, that's a trigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can express your opinion about say a prayer without getting personal like that. Because my mindset always goes to, and I try to approach myself here the same way when I do my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would never get on this set and say anything about a player, a fan, or anybody that I can't say to their face. And sometimes when people like throw out these opinions and they use these derogatory terms, the first thing I always ask myself, if say a person was standing in your face, would you have that same image?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can't handle like the criticism from the fans and Cleveland media here to your point and markets like Philadelphia and markets like, like New York, you wouldn't be able to survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think disrespect is in the eye of the beholder. So boy, what if somebody told you being cut off makes them feel like they being disrespected. Disrespected. How would you carry yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's saying somebody in the chat said that he's being disrespectful when he cut people off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I think this game comes at the perfect time for Darius Garland, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just a day after Donovan Mitchell kinda stepped up to the podium and had your back and said all these nice things in defense about you, and you probably revved up, like you emotionally revved up, you ready to go, and to top it off,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got the guy coming in here who with the game winning shot that made the Cleveland Cavaliers ABA champions that play the same position that you play that is still beloved by both Clevelanders and Cavs fans, right? If I'm Darius Garland, this is another opportunity that I have to assert myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To show that I'm that dude and to kind of like silence the critics to silence the noise. When I look at the overall, you know, dual matchups, uh, this really favors the Cavs. I mean, you look at the Dallas Mavericks backcourt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they give up, what, the most rebounds, second most three-pointers to guards, third most assists to guards, like they're in the top five or the bottom ranked five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as far as their defensive output against opposing backcourts and you look at the Cavaliers backcourt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is a game that I feel like is tailor-made for Darius Garland to call a silence to critics. Uh, it'd be interesting to see how healthy Donovan Mitchell is, but, uh, I expect this to be a great game, a fun game for all four of these dudes to put on a show. Uh, I would love to see Isaac O'Coral matched up on Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? To really just, just to show where he at, I think it'd be a good test for him. But, you know, I just want to see the Cavs win. The Cavs are what, four and a half point favorites? Hey, we gonna put together a parlay? Wanna do a parlay? Wanna do one? Let's do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, so this is what we got here. We gonna put this parlay in. I got an 8 leg parlay. I got a 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's, here's the eight leg parlay. And I got the 30% profit boost on this, right? Darius Garland, 15 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the profit boost, it takes the odds to plus 2,440.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, it's the cast now minus five at the time we made that graphic. It was four and a half point favorite, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight? So you got like, like, so you done got some free stuff from Brown before, haven't you? Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so today we are going to highlight, hold on, let me get it, let me get it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, FS1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, who in 2007,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Became the first ever black guy to drive for FS1. I literally just lost my notes, so I'm trying to scroll back to find them. That's why I'm looking at my phone like this. Here we go, right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, when he signed with McLaren in 2007, he became the first black driver in the 57 year history of Formula One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Capturing his first pole in victory at the Canadian Grand Prix in just the sixth race. He hasn't slowed down from there.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I did read an article that they were trying to kind of get this, uh, I'm about to change the word. I read an article.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we see all these people from Cleveland who have made it to the top level of their professional sports. There's so many dudes that we can name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Hey, P-Pierre be on this set right now telling you, hey, Sup was a dog. Sup was him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was so used to it that it wasn't even like- Wasn't even crazy? It was finally good to see it put on display on a larger scale but man, that dude is- He different type of fa- His type of speed is different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I seen it, kinda like listened to a lot of the soundbikes behind it. Court storming is something that's been a part of college sports, like forever. What happened? Uh, somebody else got hurt.

[Assistant] Nah, I can't wait to talk about Kaitlyn Clark though, man. She a walking bucket.

[Assistant] Yeah, just send us your tickets and enjoy this G Bush fit, cause G, that's an outfit, my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, first thing we do before we give our ideal free agency projections, this morning the Browns opened up about 10 million dollars in extra cap space by restructuring Jedwill's contract that brings his base salary for this year down to just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A 1.5 million ish give or take. It opens up $10 million in cap space because of the restructure. They are unable to trade Jed Wills this season. So the Browns will play this year with Jed Wills, but by this restructure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than opening 10 and a half million dollars in cash base for Andrew Barry to spend in free agency, which starts next week. Do you read anything further into this move? Does it mean a possible move for Jed Wills along the line? Does it mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there's not the official numbers on what the void number on the cap will be next season, but Jack Duffin does a really good job kind of following the cap, and he projected that Jed Will's void year in 2025, the cap hit carried by this restructure will be close to 12 million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not, not, not me. There would be, I should be more surprised if they didn't draft an offensive line. That would be if they did. Especially just because of the age, the numbers, and like you said, they, they're trying to clear some cap space. There'll be some dead money, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the guys we're looking at next year's salary cap, which is getting way ahead of ourselves. Yea. A lot of the guys who could be on that potential cap cut casualty list are guys on the offensive line like you just mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fine, it's fine, but for the sake of this, just know we're spending more, you're spending more money because you're going to re-sign Taki Taki and some other guys. That's true. I did not factor that in. When we put the poll up, just take in mind that Bull went a little over the limitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Taki Taki's gonna get about 5 or 6 a year. Right. Which is the biggest of all their re-signing. So, if you add them up, like when I go. It's probably like 10-12 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G. Bush, we don't have a graphic, but you could walk us through who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no. 3 for 67 is 23 a year. 22 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you mentioned Jonathan Grenard as your defensive end. Jason, you went with Chase Young. I actually went with a different defensive end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went with Bryce Hough, out of the New York Jets, who had 10 sacks last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hasn't been a every down defensive in his career. He's been a third down pass rush specialist. But when he does rush the passer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's phenomenal at, he had the third highest pressure rate of any defensive end in football behind Myles Garrett and behind Micah Parsons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That guy right there, Bryce Hoppe, he's 25 years old, looking for a full-time opportunity. He just didn't get the opportunity to try and stop the run in the Jets rotation. They had a deep defensive line rotation, so he was just kind of their third guy, but uber productive. And I think outside of Zedariah Smith, who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm okay letting walk. I want a younger guy, a guy with some more upside, just like your Grenard, just like a young, but I actually feel better betting on Bryce Huff based on the defense he's coming from and the production we've actually seen from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the guy, his two projections online, PFF had him getting 50 million, CBS had him getting 36. I split the middle in half for about 17 a year. I'm with you guys on the Marquis Brown signing. I think at the end of the day, he's the most realistic option for them and that added speed element. They tried to get in Marquis Goodwin last season that did not come to fruition. He would provide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bull, I did a stream on Bleacher Report Monday about this whole topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not have a running back in there. I had them signing Jacoby Reset, but I've now flipped that money. I went for one year, six mil for Reset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To two years for three million for Antonio Gibson, who's a phenomenal receiving back. I think phenomenal strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm taking Gibson though, he has 55 catches or targets in each of the last three seasons, over 40 catches every season of his career. And I'm banking on the fact Nick Chubb comes back healthy and this guy's your third down back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it may take him a game or two, three, four to get back to being Nick Chubb, but I'm banking this on Nick Chubb coming back. So I was looking for a good complimentary third down back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Nick Chubb, and that's where you get an Antonio Gibson. In this case, by the way, I don't have Chubb at the re-signings because his re-structure was factored into the 40 million we were working out of. So Chubb is obviously back in this scenario. I'm with you, Bowling Needle linebacker. You went Devin White.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went Jordan Brooks, the former first round pick of Seattle. Not the greatest past coverage linebacker, but phenomenal against the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you have Taki Taki, who's coming back in this resigning plus J. Okay. Two of the 10 best coverage linebackers in all of football. I'm okay. Sacrificing a little coverage with my third linebacker to bring in a true run stumper, which Jordan Brooks is. And then in this scenario, I'm resigning Taki Taki, Mohers, Shelby Harris, and Corey Bjork is back. Those guys combined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 45 million cap is about 42, so there's a little more wiggle room if you want to throw one more guy in there. I really wanted to fit Grover Stewart, the defensive tackle from Indianapolis in here at about 8-9 million a year. He just didn't have the money, but he's another guy I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fits the profile. Andrew Berry will look at a little cheaper than Christian Wilkins or a lot cheaper than Wilkins frankly, but still a very productive player. But that is the list of guys I think would be a perfect free agent hall for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm okay with DTR as my QB2 next year. I know that's in the minority, but I'm actually okay. We can talk about that next, but I'm okay with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So big picture though, we were all similar receiver, some sort of pass rusher, whether it's from the interior or the outside. None of us spent money in the secondary. None of us spent money in the offensive line. Nope. So tight end, tight end. Now Harrison Brian is a free agent, so they may have to either draft a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to Jason's point about not spending money, gee, I want to ask you this as the captain of operation stockpile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say, for the sake of this question, they have 40 million dollars to spend, right? Let's just say that's the number. It's probably gonna be a little higher, but let's just say it's 40 million. If the Browns spend 28.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How will you feel next Monday? They have 12 million sitting over and say we're done. We're going to roll that over to 2025.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying the premise. They make the majority of their moves and they're still 25% of the cap sitting out there with the potential to sign a DeAndre Hopkins just like it was this previous offseason. And the Browns say, no, we're going to hold Pat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daryl Mooney's career numbers, 2020, he had 61 catches, 631 yards, 4 touchdowns. 2021, his sophomore season, second season, 81 catches, 1055 yards, 4 touchdowns. The next two seasons combined, 2022 and 2023,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one last thing on Gabe Davis, then we'll move on to some backup quarterbacks, but this is his reception game log from 2023 with Josh Allen, who threw a league leading amount of passing touchdowns this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just confirm that, but I'm 99% sure he played all the games. Yeah, he played all the games. Yeah. Okay, you're right. This is his catches. Okay. His receptions per game. Week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy Brown's Trade Rumors. Brown's link to Stefan Diggs. Gee, you're the one that linked them to Stefan Diggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His cap hit in twenty twenty four, twenty eight million. His cap hit in twenty twenty five, twenty seven and a half million. His cap hit in twenty twenty six, twenty eight and a half million. His cap hit in twenty twenty seven when he's thirty four years old.

[Assistant] It is. And real quick, last thing on DTR. You know, I go back to last season when he beat out Josh Jobs for the backup and we celebrated trading Josh Jobs. I know some people were mad and got madder in hindsight when Dobbs played well. But I mean, dude, you gave him the nickname DTR. Like he got his own nickname from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I liked what I saw against Denver. And even though Pittsburgh, they didn't put up a ton of points, I throw the Baltimore game out the window because that was such a bonky unique. He didn't find out he was starting till an hour before. I just, I guess I liked what I saw from DTR enough to think that all the conversation around Berset, Flacco, whoever that backup quarterback may be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last, last, last thing, we'll move on to a little Cavs talk here, but in both of your guys free agency projections, right? You had them signing Devin White. Gee, you had them signing Zach Moss for similar money to what you think Flacco or Berset would get on the open market. It comes down to the backup quarterback for six-ish million or bull in your case, Devin White for five G Zach Moss for eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you take the running back and lineback or would you take the backup quarterback? If those were the two, pick one or the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight, it is the first place Minnesota Timberwolves in the West coming to Cleveland to face the third seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the East Minnesota. Even though they just lost Carl Anthony Towns for a month to a Tormaniscus, do have the number one rated defense in the entire NBA. No Mitchell tonight for the Cavs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get the sense he would look at the Edwards matchup as an individual showcase, but speaking of Edwards, you guys didn't see this last night. But part of the reason you should be excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, uh, this guy's coming to play in Cleveland. He's a once in a generation type athlete. This was at the buzzer to block and win the game, by the way. They were up by two. That is as the buzzer expired. We'll let it play one more time. I have another angle for you. He said that is the highest he's ever jumped in his entire life. His head hits the rim. You can see it from the next angle in one sec. This is to win the game guys, to win the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That guy's coming to Cleveland tonight. If you need any other reason to tune in and watch, what should be a really good matchup, that guy, number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also scored, I believe, seven points in the final minute as well. Back and forth, he scored. Is he definitely playing tonight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edwards, oh yea, yea, he, he doesn't like to sit games. He says if he could play 82 games a year, he would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jason, I'm gonna ask you this. How many rebounds per game do you think Zion's averaging this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For his career. And he's a two-time all-star. Like when he's played, he's been very good. Like keep in mind, when he has played...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been very, very effective. For his career, he's averaged 25 points per game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His second jump on the offensive glass, you think he would be a much better rebound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't watch a ton of Pelicans games, I can't tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was really excited to see after how Cleveland responded against Chicago in a negative way to, uh, I guess it was last Wednesday. It's their first time facing a potential too big lineup. Now Kat's not playing, so it's not facing it too well. They could start Nas Reed, which would still be a too big lineup. Not exactly the twin towers of Kat and go bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is another opportunity to see, and I know it's not Allen and Mobley, but how this four out one in matches up against a two big lineup. I still have a feeling that Nas Reed will be the, the filling starter. He's cat junior and he's a pretty good player in his own right. Dunked on my brother in high school, like one of the nastiest posts I've ever seen. Derek, I'm sorry for bringing that up, but absolutely posterized my little brother in high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't, they were playing a 2-3 zone, they were losing by 50 and he tried just his spot. Nasred came down the baseline, went right around the guy on the edge and just, it's a bad video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother's 5'8, 5'9, and Nasri is 6'10 as a junior in high school. Yea, it's an unfair matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'll show you all the video after this. I gotta find it somewhere. I've not shown us that before. It was tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weeks and months as baseball season gets underway, there's no better place to buy those tickets online than the Game Time app. It is simple, it is easy, they have last minute deals, you can see the view from your seat before you purchase, and they'll match a better price if you can find a better price on the same ticket on a different app.

But we mentioned yesterday, had a little fun with it, but, um, Mike Zanino retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had high expectations from Mike Zeno and Josh Bell last season. It didn't work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was thinking, Enzanito's not on this list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm gonna read a bunch from the chat here. Okay. But first, we gotta tweet during the show from Brian Murphy. I wanna read to you guys.

[Assistant] Sly says the Baker-Odel combo, which I think is a fair one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, William Beck says Jack Brohammer and Charlie Spikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, couple more. Jason, you can sneeze. Uh, Nick Swisher, that's from Dungar Boxing, which you mentioned. Kendrick Bourne. Michael Bourne, excuse me, not Kendrick Bourne. Sly said John Johnson III.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple trades that never happened or one did happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan said, what if we traded JJ Hickson for Amari Stoudemire instead of thinking JJ was that good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I didn't remember this. Yeah, go ahead. Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas when he got traded here. I'm not sure how much the fanfare was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After 26. This year, next year, one more year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you know what he's talking about, you know. If you know, you know. If you don't, uh, you might want to look it up. Yeah. Could be interesting, depending on your preferences. Uh, mincy farts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says, anyway we can move up in the draft, stop messing around, and get Marvin Harrison Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I'm sorry, you got more super chats, go ahead. I do real quick, uh, Mcgerm00 says, G Bush going that, going down that old country road. Pause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gleezybaby43 says, here's my Andrew Berry free agent list. Chase Young, 7 million. Rashid Shahid, 10 million. Jerome Baker, 3 million. Bringbackhurst and Corey Bjorkes for 5 million. Antonio Gibson for 3 million. Taki Taki for 6 million. Daquan Jones for 9 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last but not least, Demon4x4 says can't believe you guys forgot Ernie Davis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm Adam the Bull and I'm going to tell you, and I may shock you, with which team in Cleveland is closest to winning a championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, what more can you ask for? The Cav, you mentioned they're in second place. They have the fourth best record in the NBA and outside of the Celtics who are six games ahead of the Cavs, the other two teams with better records are only a game and a game and a half better, the top two teams in the West. They were without two of their best players for a long time. They have, they're, they're the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for maybe Boston, but I don't even know. Uh, everybody on the roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for maybe Darius Garland is playing the best basketball of their career. The coach was this close to getting fired, and now he's in the conversation for coach of the year. We'll see what happens the rest of the season, but right now, A plus for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fair. Yea, that's fair. It, it, it, it matters to a degree. It's not proof of anything they're gonna do in the play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I sh- I'll say eight because with Jimmy Haslam I guess you never know. But I'm shocked that they haven't been offered an extension as far as we know. Now there was a report last weekend that it's gonna happen and that was good to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, and I spoke to Mary Kay this week and she said the same thing. She thinks it's going to happen. But yeah, I'm pretty, I'm at eight. I'm really surprised that it hasn't happened already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was a tough one because I had four finalists. So of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, rapid fire the other three was the Cavs the day they won the championship. Uh, Jason in 2012, it was September 26th, I believe. Jason Giambi hit a walk-off homer in Cleveland. I was at the game when the Indians of the time had to win like all those games at the end of the year to get that wild card spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was the first time they made the playoffs with me in Cleveland and I, I was all caught up in it. That was exciting. And then of course, in November of 2011, the first remote broadcast, the bull and fox show ever at around the corner in Lakewood Thursday night football, Brown's got smoked by the Steelers, but the, the bar was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Act with fans of the show, and it was my welcome to Cleveland moment, it was so great. But ultimately, the best moment for me since 2011 was the parade day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That day was crazy. I was on the, I watched it from the roof of the county office building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just looking at the humanity of fans going from the highway down to the lake on East 9th, the parade had to be delayed because there was not enough police officers to keep people off the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The weather was incredible that day. It was a magnificent day and I will never, to the day I die, forget this day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what I'm about to say really is not going to make sense to a lot of people because if you ask me who the best team in Cleveland is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Browns it's obvious. We don't know about their quarterback situation. And as good as the Browns are, you, for the most part, have to have the quarterback to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel like impossible to beat right now, it's hard to pick the brown. As for the Cavs...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike talks about this all the time. It's nearly impossible to win a championship when your best player's a small guard. We've seen Steph Curry, who had a, you know, one of the greatest teams ever around him, and Isaiah Thomas, with a bunch of Hall of Famers around him, do it. That's basically been about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, now, the Guardians, I look at them on paper and I'm like, they're not a championship team, they're a 500 team to me. However, baseball, more than any other sport,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you punch your ticket, you've got a shot. In football, if you punch the seventh ticket and you have no quarterback but you made it because you're not going to win any Super Bowl. In baseball, everybody's got a shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That not a lot of teams in Major League Baseball have. They got a damn good pitching staff. And if they're healthy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, even if they win the division with 86 wins, which is possible in this division, they have the type of pitching staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can get hot in the playoff and you can win a championship. And because of the randomness of baseball, way more than basketball, football or the better team more often wins. I'd give the guardians the best chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G is very, and I, and because the only sport that anybody cares about right here is the Browns pretty much. I made the, I made the Guardians wear Brown's color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't. We didn't know that. You didn't know that? No. I'm not really a hockey fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, wait a second. Ronnie hasn't had his chance yet. Uh, what about, uh, uh, the, the Seth Curry? He was, was he Seth Curry? No, he's probably better than Seth Curry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you get mad about it? I don't, like, I think sometimes because there is Twitter, they be feeling like you and them is the same people. We're not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I'm not just like knocking you. We ain't just saying you go to work, we go to work. When we go to work, we talk about topics about sports. When we go to work, you do things like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talk more about them. There's like six and a half people, and then those six and a half people stayed. The rest of the 250 are hell.

[Assistant] Right, right. Like, you take a look at 2022, 63 receptions, 895, four touchdowns. Now, if we could throw up, this is kind of disgusting because I don't like doing this. Like, what is Elijah Moore's stats? Well, not as good as that. I mean, Elijah Moore ain't sniffed no 895. I think it's around six something, right?

[Assistant] When you say it, does it get you excited, right? You know, you, you know how it is, bull, like, you know, if you've been chasing a girl for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, oh man, she finally says yes to the date. There's that one where you're like, heck yeah, I gotta get my mind together. Or it's the one that's like, she asked me to prom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I ain't that excited about Mike Evans. If it was Mike Evans, I'd be like, oh, I've been trying to get a Mike Evans. I've been trying to get me a life skin waiting. I've been trying to get me a Mike Evans like that, you know what I'm saying? But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be scared, I'll be scared for big receivers that really wasn't that fat. That's the point. Like if you was already a big body receiver and then you wasn't really a burner, then you get an ACL like...

[Assistant] You run a 84 on Matt now. What did he run coming out of college?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the problem- I played with a great quarterback. You know what hurts me the most is because this- this draft class at receiver


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is one of the best draft classes in like 30, 40 years. Like, they got ballplayers, bro, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jalen Polk from Washington, uh, is, is great. Rome Wilson is, is a dude that, you know. Well, not all those guys can go that high, so. No, they'll be in the second round too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Mike Evans could go over the cliff. This could be the year he goes over the cliff. I like the thing that she said. Like that's, that's hard. That's a hard rebuttal. Yeah. Mike Evans better than Mamari Cooper. I mean he is. Is that a better career? And so like, and we love Mamari Cooper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, like, we were having a conversation about, like, listen, people still vote for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with it is, the quarterback position, there's nobody running away with nothing. Like, it's too stacked that like, people are gonna have comparable numbers in most of the numbers you have. Like, unless you throw for like 60 touchdowns or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you go back and put this in here, it makes you almost question, uhm, whether people are smart or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, think about this. Well, Vegas gets it right more often than they don't. Listen, these earliest Vegas odds is crazy. CJ Stroud, second year MVP, not happening. Can we get a look at that? The Richardson? The Richardson stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's some more players between. Oh, there's some guys in between the top five. But, but, I mean, Justin Fields is talking about getting traded. How was Justin Fields at 50 to 1?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I could understand if you want Jared Goff or whatever, or like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To win the MVP, you gotta realize, like to win the MVP, you gotta have a really good record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you gotta, so you basically said to win it, you gotta pick that team to win 12-13 games. And so you could basically narrow it down by, okay, what is their defense? What is their, like, what are their records gonna be next year? How will we think and project?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then from there say who has the, who's going to have the best stats out of the playoff teams that are going to be Super Bowl contenders. And you could eliminate half teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I like him too on a sneaky tip. I think, but just all jokes aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really believe that Deshaun Watson is probably going to be, he's probably the leader when it comes to comeback player of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if, if, if, if he, if you say he plays all the games, if you say Deshaun Watson starts his 16 games or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a comeback player of the year. Because, because if you think about it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if they, if the Browns make the playoffs, and Deshaun Watson plays all the games,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got a, uh, he got a Gunner's face mask, bro. Like he look like he got a co- He's a dude that used to have to go down and break up the Wedge Busters. Like the dudes that just kamikaze themselves. He got this gap in his face mask. It's nasty. It's big. I don't understand. Ain't he be wearing records?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now? Lamar? No. Uh, Lamar Jackson do got a dark visor on. Or Joe Burrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm putting, I'm got some action down on this game. I like, I like doing the calves versus the magic because there's a couple people with the magic. I like putting a little cash down on the, on the parlay. But let me talk about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Mobley is way more likely to get 25 than Garland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he don't have the ball like that.
