00:00from nfl live at first talking about digs talking about washington and then we think might be a
00:08nugget dropped go ahead on digs yeah laura i'm hearing he's gonna have a market closer to training
00:12camp i was told that at least five teams that need a wide receiver have been checking in now
00:17they got to deal with some of the baggage and the headlines they are what they are but here's why
00:21stefan digs i'm told is confident he had a thousand plus yards last year really playing on a snap count
00:26of around 55 of the snaps coming off an acl he feels he's going to be better this time around
00:32i'm
00:32looking to the dmv lawyer that's where he's from commander certainly need a receiver i think
00:36they're looking for more of like a speed option at this point we'll see there are several veterans
00:40they could look at i don't think it's going to be brandon iuke at this stage oh right there did
00:46you
00:46catch it now here's why this is important to me a couple reasons one you heard the name and talking
00:52about washington but i'm told that's a key phrase and it's a point of distinguishing in general if i
01:02go i don't know man i don't know what the nats are gonna do with the trade deadline here's what
01:07i
01:08think this is based on nothing i think i'm making this up i think they trade foster griffin and get
01:13a
01:13huge haul to a pennant chase uh a team independent chase for you know contender and you get a bunch
01:18of
01:18prospects or i'm told there's interest in foster griffin and they may move him that's dramatically
01:27different one based on nothing this is just sort of i don't know i read the same thing you guys
01:33did
01:33and i'm thinking about what might make sense and i'm extrapolating versus i'm told so when you heard
01:39fowler in there talking about stefan diggs you've got a line or a sale point from an agent nothing wrong
01:48with that by the way i'm not criticizing but this is important for us as consumers to sort of read
01:52between the lines here when he gives you the i'm told here's why diggs is confident that's not a
01:58team general manager telling you that there's no way that's a local beat reporter telling you that or
02:03a scout or somebody in the front office that's a why should not why should you sign stefan diggs
02:08here's why coming off an acl good behavior the headlines there what they are but come on it's behind
02:14him only 55 of snaps he went for the 12th most uh catches 15th most yards in the league can
02:20still
02:20play he can help you stefan diggs everybody you receive that then the very end of the here's me
02:30sort of giving you what i've heard i don't think it's going to be brandon iuke at this point
02:36that's not just yeah hey man after those videos i don't know i wouldn't sign him would you
02:41that's very different play that last couple sentences there dare is forming and i'll let
02:46you react to your tubs this is in the middle of passing on what he's heard and then the final
02:51thing is this little throwaway line which affects us in a pretty big way he's going to be better
02:58this time around i'm looking to the dmd law that's where he's from commander certainly need a receiver
03:03i think they're looking for more of like a speed option at this point we'll see there's several
03:07veterans they could look at i don't think it's going to be brandon iuke at this stage
03:11uh yeah what do you make of it i mean it it seems like this is the first time we've
03:15heard
03:17that washington is not that interested which we've been asking for for weeks if you're not
03:22interested please just tell us any roundabout way obviously adam peters can't come out in a press
03:28conference he goes hey guys not interested in brandon iuke we're not stupid we understand how this
03:33works it's usually done through jeremy fowler adam shefter choose your local beat reporter
03:40kime jabvala whoever right stand dig you can just reach out with a simple text and be like hey by
03:46the
03:46way not that interested in uh in iuke not interested and then they can put it out and help you
03:53get the
03:53word out but that hasn't been said all along so in turn you just assume that they're going to sign
03:59this guy they're very interested in signing this guy so it's almost a relief but it also just shows
04:07me that they had a flawed plan from the beginning it feels like it feels like this was their plan
04:11right danny i don't like it feels like they went in under the assumption that they were going to sign
04:17iuke now to their credit they were in on alec pierce they were in on romeo dobbs from reports that
04:24we've heard and they didn't get either of those guys but you know it wasn't something that they
04:27didn't try for other receivers but if their plan was hey we're going to sign brandon iuke
04:33and that'll be our number two option and then maybe we'll draft a guy which they ultimately did
04:37in antonio williams who knows maybe if carnell tate was available for their pick maybe he would
04:42have been someone that they would have considered we'll never know because he didn't get past pick
04:45number four so i don't know like it's just something where they ended up in a spot now where
04:52brandon iuke has been acting foolish on social media and it's gotten to a point where they're
04:58now out on him if that was their plan all along then you end up in a terrible spot and
05:03it shows
05:04how flawed of a plan it was you're banking on someone who's on another roster being a part of
05:09your team which never should be a part of your plan and for them to finally wise up to it
05:15would be great
05:16to realize like this ain't worth it for the player that we're getting look if they were getting
05:22the the the comp that gets thrown around all the time for him is antonio brown for whatever reason
05:27even though antonio brown was a much better football player than brandon iuke ever was if you were
05:31getting prime antonio brown yeah maybe maybe i'll put up with some of this stuff because prime
05:37antonio brown was best in the league or right there with julio jones that's not brandon iuke i
05:42haven't seen this guy play football in two years and yeah you might be able to get him for the
05:46league minimum but you also get the league minimum with a headache i'd rather just go sign stefan diggs
05:50so it sounds like they're out on the iuke sweepstakes which i think for the iuke side of
05:57things makes it really interesting because i don't know where the heck he plays football next
06:00but this is the first indication we've got that maybe washington isn't gonna just ultimately go sign
06:07him so here's the question 800-636-1067 i know it's just uh the you know
06:15he's on his way to his next thought they're gonna ask about a different player a different team
06:19different situation the reason i'm so honed in on this is it sounds like when jeremy fowler's talking
06:27this is not just a yeah that doesn't make a lot of sense right now like you look at the
06:33external factors and blah blah blah and all the videos and whatever this isn't a dude that's
06:37looking at a situation like you and i might be tobes and drawing a conclusion
06:44he basically just finished passing along what he'd heard about a different player then there's
06:50some team in there they're looking for a speed guy i i just want to focus on that by the
06:55way just as a
06:56quick side for all you guys i want to know who the mystery speed guy is is it i show
07:00speed the youtube
07:01guy they're doing that from the flag football thing he's very athletic he's very he shows speed
07:05i want to know that's what i want to know who the speed who's the mystery speed guy is or
07:09a different
07:09veteran i want to know that but we got to do this you know uh clown shoe thing so we'll
07:14do the
07:17in the middle of saying here's why here there's interest in digs again coming from the agent or
07:23somebody here's why digs is confident coming from the agent or somebody digs digs digs washington
07:30makes sense they want this other thing that sounds pretty informed that sounds pretty informed final
07:36thought i don't think it's going to be iuk in the middle of an informed download right where he's
07:44down he's uh he's uploading whatever the information that he's got into a segment on the television
07:52he says i don't think it's going to be iuk is this real that's the question 800-636-1067
07:59is this the team or somebody from it i'm hoping and i have been begging for this i have been
08:09begging
08:09for it let somebody out there know that you're not in and this all goes away if you are in
08:19i think
08:20less of you if you're not in and you just don't care i think it's weird but it's your call
08:25you do
08:25what you want it's it's your rep it's your uh conversation about you if you are not interested
08:31which i hope that you are not let somebody like this or anybody else know you can text jp finley
08:37you already mentioned nika jabala john kime ben standing whoever the hell you want national
08:42reporters local reporters billy the blogger i don't care let somebody know to get your word out that
08:47you're out just to make it make yourself look a lot better is that what this is do we think
08:53that's
08:53the first sign that maybe he heard from somebody that they're not in because there's another
09:00washington angle there where they they want again the mystery speed guy you didn't get that from
09:05maybe you got that from the agent who was flirting back and forth with washington and man we're not
09:11that just right now we're looking for some mystery veteran speed guy but that they're not in on iuk
09:17do you think it's real i do i mean i don't know if that like you talked about some of
09:24the
09:25vernacular and trying to parse through that maybe he just kind of throws that in there and maybe that's
09:31more of a i'm getting the the sense here versus a true report because we haven't heard it from
09:35anybody else we haven't heard adam schefter necessarily say that although adam schefter said
09:40on his podcast that he feels like maybe they're going to shift i don't know that again that that's a
09:44report from you know adam peters sending a text saying hey man we're not interested but it feels
09:50like this is real because i i think danny they were interested that's pretty clear we've just heard
09:56from plenty of reports and i think they didn't care when he's throwing money on the ground stepping
10:01over it stupid video doesn't do anything to the commanders who cares when he's doing other stupid
10:06stuff whatever man want to run around your yard don't really care want to say you know uh
10:11little a boys i who cares does not matter to me the second that he's throwing on a commander's hat
10:16and then the second that he starts going at my quarterback i can't i cannot do that because one
10:22if you're throwing on my hat and stuff one it could put me in a a difficult spot where if
10:26i sign
10:26immediately now they're investigating for uh all this different stuff i don't want to be a part of
10:31that i don't i don't need it especially for a receiver that like we said we don't know what he
10:35is
10:36we haven't seen him in two years and then you're going at your last lifeline jayden daniels
10:40whether they're joking or not i really don't care whether it's them trolling or not i do not care
10:45the second he gets involved in this that's the same thing he's on my team you're on another team
10:50leave him alone leave us alone the second you do that gone not interested anymore and i think
10:56that's where they're starting to swing 800-636-1067 is the number 800-636-1067 we got the all-star
11:05game
11:05tonight for major league baseball we'll talk about that in a little bit we got some nats best and the
11:09worst
11:09superlatives uh the first half i put first half in quotes so they're 90 plus games in now almost 100
11:14games but we'll do that at six but next i want your phone calls on this you heard in this
11:20segment i
11:22don't know if it's a report i don't know what it is exactly and this is kind of how modern
11:26media has
11:26been blurred because it's a 24 7 news cycle again i'm not ripping jeremy fowler at all he says we'll
11:32play
11:32for you again he believes washington is not in on brandon iuk music to my ears number one maybe i'm
11:42wish casting but do you think that's real or is that just an opinion i give you the context of
11:48the
11:48rest of this clearly sounds informed the rest of what he was talking about in that uh you know minute
11:55long segment there is i'm told stephan diggs here's why he's confident again that's not coming
12:02from me it's not coming from strobes it's not like he tuned into locked on wizards and was like oh
12:06i got
12:06a i got a digs detail yeah right that's coming from somewhere clearly he passed it on washington is
12:13looking for a speed guy he passed it on came from somewhere what medley's washington whether it's the
12:18agent i don't know they're not interested in iuk is it real 800-636-1067 you're
