Podcast: Matt Verderame On Super Bowl LVII + Offseason Storylines
We Get You Primed For The Madness To Come...
Football season is over. Well, the 2022 edition is for sure. But the 2023 offseason is just about to get interesting.
With Super Bowl LVII now in the books and the Kansas City Chiefs having thrown another victory parade, all attention will turn towards the NFL Draft, Free Agency and the usual madness that is the quarterback carousel.
Some big-time QB’s could be on the move over the coming weeks, and Green Bay Packers starter Aaron Rodgers looks likely to lead that list. Once he’s out of his darkness retreat, of course.
That’s why it made perfect sense to get Matt Verderame, the NFL National Reporter for FanSided, back on the pod this week.
We got into a lot, including:
The aftermath of Super Bowl LVII. Matt was at the game and he broke it down into a fine powder for us, including going over THAT call at the end of the game.
Where does Patrick Mahomes stand in terms of legacy now in the wake of another superhuman performance? Matt gave his thoughts on that and why smart roster construction is key in the NFL.
Jalen Hurts was lights out for the Eagles and Matt detailed why the future looks bright for this franchise.
We then moved on to the offseason to take a look at some of the biggest and most intriguing storylines, and why the Chicago Bears are a fascinating subplot in their own right because of their plethora of cap space and the fact that they hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Should the Bears trade out of that spot and get an absolute haul in return? Or should they give up on Justin Fields and take a QB? Matt’s answer won’t surprise you.
We then played quarterback roulette as Matt gave out what he thinks are the best landing spots for Aaron Rodgers - Spoiler: be happy, Jets fans - Derek Carr and Lamar Jackson.
Finally; we discussed what is next for the Buffalo Bills as the perennial contender faces arguably its most important and defining offseason ever.
Happy Listening!
