Adam Calvin is our NFL insider, and you can follow him at Kaplan NFL on X for free, which
00:09
is beautiful.
00:10
He's been covering the NFL for almost 30 years, and he set the standard here on SportsGrid
00:15
across the board to catch him on coast to coast regularly.
00:18
And we've got preseason football tonight, a pair of games.
00:23
Hope it's better than that Hall of Fame game that got canceled because of weather.
00:28
Yeah, the last one, the first one last Thursday, after 41 minutes, they called it.
00:34
And I know people were pissed that they couldn't cash, cash their tickets in.
00:37
So yeah, tonight now in Foxborough, right, Panthers are visiting the Patriots.
00:42
It's not supposed to rain during the game.
00:46
Now here's the story.
00:47
Let's go to the Panthers.
00:48
Bryce Young is not going to play tonight.
00:50
You're going to see undrafted free agent, not Jake Plummer, but Jack Plummer out of
00:54
Louisville.
00:55
He's got a decent arm, but he was an undrafted free agent.
00:58
Jake Luton, who's a young journeyman at quarterback.
01:00
So you're not going to see Bryce Young.
01:02
And by the way, though, they're happy with this progress.
01:04
They've added a lot of qualified, talented pass targets.
01:08
They're looking to take their offense to the next level.
01:10
And with the Patriots, they're going to play.
01:12
They're going to give Drake May an extended look.
01:15
The Patriots will quarterback the first-round pick.
01:17
And one of the sensations at training camp, Joe Milton, okay, Joe Milton, who's a quarterback
01:22
out of Tennessee, who I saw at the Senior Bowl, has the strongest arm for the draft,
01:26
has major issues with accuracy.
01:28
But this guy is a gunslinger.
01:30
You're going to see him tonight, for a Patriots team that's looking to kind of rebuild here.
01:34
And remember, as we talked about earlier this week, they're in on the sweepstakes for Brandon
01:39
Iyuk.
01:40
It's not going to happen.
01:41
Iyuk doesn't want to go there.
01:42
But the bottom line is, as I put out three months ago for Pro Football Network, the Patriots
01:47
are looking for wide receivers.
01:48
They're looking to improve.
01:50
They want to build around this quarterback.
01:53
It's going to be Drake May eventually starting.
01:55
We know that Kobe Brissett right now is almost starting to start week one.
01:58
But at some point, Drake May is going to take over the season, and they need to help him.
02:02
Well, I think that's the only thing interesting about, frankly, tonight's game is watching
02:09
Drake May play to see what he's made of.
02:13
I want to ask you, before we talk about this next game, you mentioned Brandon Iyuk.
02:20
But it is beyond me how long this has taken.
02:25
I mean, this is every day now for a month.
02:30
For a month, we have talked every day about Brandon Iyuk.
02:33
And yesterday, the Steelers allegedly reengaged these negotiations for a trade.
02:39
They want a receiver.
02:40
I think it's Austin that they want.
02:43
And all I know is it just never budges.
02:46
It never moves.
02:47
Nothing ever happens.
02:48
Like, I give up.
02:49
I don't care anymore.
02:50
All right.
02:51
Let me explain this to you.
02:52
First of all, I'd be very surprised if the Niners would take back Calvin Austin.
02:57
He's a talented guy, but he's smaller.
02:59
They like bigger receivers, six foot or taller.
03:02
They usually don't like the smaller receivers.
03:04
And if you're the Steelers, they've got Pickens, right?
03:10
We've talked about Pickens and how great George Pickens is.
03:12
He had a very quietly, a really good season last year.
03:14
We're not trading him.
03:15
No, I know.
03:16
I know.
