Jori Epstein and Jason Fitz are back with an absolutely packed episode fresh off of the NFL’s franchise tag deadline. They kick things off with an interesting discussion about Saquon Barkley’s 41.2M contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles that made him the highest paid RB in the history of the league. Then they move on to the franchise tag deadline, discussing reports that Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings are still working on a deal despite the QB not being tagged. Later in the show Jori breaks down her winners and losers of the franchise tag deadline, where she talks through the implications of the New York Jets releasing WR Davante Adams and the San Francisco 49ers trading Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. We finish out the show with Jori’s takeaways from last week’s NFL Combine and she shares what she heard from teams about Alabama QB Jalen Milroe.
