Podcast: Lamar Jackson's Future + More QB Talk With SI's Matt Verderame
Things are starting to happen in the NFL offseason...
Friend of the show and new member of the Sports Illustrated’s NFL team, Matt Verderame, jumped on ‘The Andrew Steele Podcast’ on Wednesday to break down what has been a crazy week in the NFL.
Lamar Jackson has had the Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag placed on him by the Baltimore Ravens, which means the superstar quarterback is now free to negotiate with other teams. It feels like the Ravens are playing a potentially dangerous game of chicken here.
Aaron Rodgers has met or is meeting with the top brass of the New York Jets, and we should be getting closer to a decision. Is Rodgers in The Big Apple a match made in heaven or is it all destined to crash and burn quickly? These are the Jets we’re talking about after all…
Daniel Jones - after only really one good year in the NFL - parlayed a strong 2022 season into a four-year, $160 million contract from the New York Giants. It seemed an overpay and it felt like that was the only way the Giants could also tag Saquon Barkley.
NFL Free Agency is on the horizon and there’s some really interesting teams that are poised to make a lot of noise during that period. It’s gonna get real interesting real quick.
Matt joined the Pod to break down the Jackson situation into a fine powder, reveal the one team that would be a perfect fit for LJ, bring some reality to the Rodgers-Jets and Jones-Giants discussions and give his pick for the teams worth keeping an eye on in Free Agency.
Happy Listening!
