He’s teeing up the take that it’s “ethical” for Warren/Poles to take less in a trade for Fields out of some misguided sense of loyalty to one player.

It’s a thought pre-mortem Dan would’ve have spent hours, if not weeks, mocking.

Sure enough, they’re hammering the strawman that to think Poles taking less for a guy to make him happier elsewhere means that you want GMs to lie to everybody.

There's also the idea that other NFL teams are studying Poles media scrum at the combine frame by frame and that is informing how they make the decision to trade for Fields. These shows focus on the 1% of the issue, when 99% of it is if Fields were better he would've been more valuable in any trade.

I have no idea because it was a Leery point.

He just kept saying the same thing over & over, varying the volume of his voice as though it somehow changed the fact he was rambling incoherently.

underrated tactic- i know Dan has hushed whispers
but varying volume is good

Great show today.

I don't know if I've heard two people tie themselves into knots overcomplicating things as much as Dan and Leery.

multing rule #1 is not to overdo the bit

deni$ makes the joke every single day, can't control himself

Yup.

Leery coping very hard. It seems the league’s view on Fields is incorrect because Lamar Jackson or something.

They’re using the running back market this FA cycle as an example of when the league changes its mind on a position but failing to mention all of the backs who signed big contracts are proven to be good.

With all of their national contacts, sources everywhere, why didn't Dan or Laurence ever report that Fields may not have the same value that people in Chicago think?

I've heard some local reporters, like Lieser, suggest that they never thought Fields was highly thought of outside of Chicago, and we know they aren't interested in what Wiederer (and Biggs to some extent) say on Fields. I do recall them telling Wiederer that they may not be in the locker room anymore, but they are in the locker room....

Just surprising, for two guys, as piped in as anyone in reporting, to not know this would be the outcome.

It's almost as if hot social takes, or being able to text Rashied Davis for an opinion doesn't give you "informed opinions".

How many of those RB's are getting paid big money (by NFL standards)? Most of them are getting 1-2 year deals and quite a few are on 1 year type deals for the club.

There are so many examples to use to make the NFL look absolutely braindead with what they believe and Leery didn't use any of them. Nathaniel Hackett, Tom Telesco, Sam Darnold, Trey Lance and that's just off the top of my head. He's just not very good at what he does.

Again with the Jackson canard, the guy who actually puts up good passing statistics per conventional and advanced metrics. Holmes needs to follow Bustin to Pittsburgh and quick.

Edit: and Dan too. He doesn't get a pass after disingenuously accepting the case against Fields.
