00:00So I think another piece is moving.

00:02I think one of the guys in the wide receiver room, most likely K.J. Osborne, is gone.

00:07I was chuckling because Doug Cide, who does a fantastic job at the Herald-Lippi Reporter,

00:14Doug went to talk to Osborne maybe yesterday or two days ago and the headline was like

00:18something like, K.J. Osborne reacts to his name being in trade talks.

00:22And I'm like, he reacts to the fact that he's in trade talks because he told him he wanted

00:26to be traded.

00:27And he told us he wanted to be traded.

00:30So I did laugh about that.

00:32But yeah, there's no point.

00:34Obviously, they're getting Javon Baker.

00:36I think you're finally going to get your wish, Fitzy, and Baker's going to be active and

00:40actually play some offensive snaps on Sunday.

00:43And I think you start to look at the totality of that room and you say, K.J.'s, the opportunity

00:50he's given him, he hasn't done anything with it.

00:52And now that he doesn't want to be here and kind of went social with that, like, OK, fine.

00:57We'll see you later.

00:58Well, you know, you're not getting anything for him.

00:59We're talking like a, you know, probably a seventh round pick.

01:01But, you know, clear, clear space for the kids to get more snaps.

01:07Could they bring anybody in that?

01:08I know Jocena Anderson had the report.

01:11I was trying to sell the point where I think that because of their cap space and because

01:15of their kind of blank canvas of a roster, they really can listen to anything and they

01:20should be acquiring.

01:21I don't even care if it's a swing tackle, a fifth corner, a future free safety, whatever.

01:27Do you think there's any chance we have to learn a couple of new names as of early next

01:30week?

01:31Yeah, I haven't hated the idea.

01:33I mean, their their their cap space is ridiculous.

01:36You know, we know how free agency works.

01:38So even if they do spend a ton of money in free agency, you're not guaranteed that that's

01:42going to be this unbelievable haul and like you've changed the structure of your team.

01:46So if you're looking at guys and you and I were texting yesterday, there are a couple

01:49names out there, guys that have been benched or are struggling that are, you know, high

01:54picks, former first round picks, Emmanuel Forbes, the corner in Washington who went

01:58ahead of Gonzalez, right?

02:00Like he's been benched.

02:01He's definitely not a part of their future plans.

02:03Now he weighs he weighs one hundred and seventy pounds.

02:05I don't know. He's less than you with two phone books in his pocket soaking wet.

02:09Yeah, he's like a one sixties kind of guy.

02:11But as would he have any value as like a potential free safety?
