It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the built-for-tough studio, Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan sidlecast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Go! Monday morning, got the Knicks looking great against Denver and then terrible against the Lakers. You got the WBC cranking if you're into that sort of thing. And NFL free agency. Yes, it's a tampering period and you got whatever stupid euphemistic title is attached to it. But it's noon today. That's what it is. It is noon today. Things are going to be flying around. Things were already flying around over the weekend. You had Max Crosby dealt to the Ravens, which was a bit of a shocker to me.
Thought it was going to be an NFC team. And we're going to find out sooner than later the biggest question of the offseason around here in New York. Who the hell is going to be the starting quarterback for the Jets? Could it be Geno Smith? Could that be the one? Could it be Carson Wentz and Frank getting back together? It's not going to be something that's going to blow your doors off, but we want to know. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, good morning, G. I'm doing all right. And I have to tell you, so in the last two weeks, there have been, what, eight, seven or eight NFL trades? Yeah. And when we left on Friday, I said, man, buckle up because it's going to get really, really busy. I think the tampering period's already started myself, and none of these trades are consummated until March 11th, which is the new year, which obviously is Wednesday.
So today at noon comes all the negotiations, supposedly, and you can actually reach out to agents and players can reach out to coaches and things of that nature. So when you think about this, so it really, I mean, like you had... The Jets, I kind of feel like kind of got this thing started over the last two weeks. You know, when they traded up for Devondre Sweat from the Titans for Jermaine Johnson, their edge rusher. Then you had David Montgomery going to the Texans from the Lions. They also released Joe Mixon at the same time. Then you had the Patriots trading center Garrett Bradbury to the Bears because the Bears center was retiring. Then you have D.J. Moore going to the Bills. And then you have, of course, Max Crosby, the big one, going to the Ravens, which is incredible.
It sounded like the Patriots were involved there, and there were some people out there within the NFL hierarchy when it comes to media saying that Tom Brady would have never traded Max Crosby to the Patriots. And then you have Zaire Franklin going to Green Bay. He's the Indianapolis linebacker. And then, of course, the Buffalo Bills traded Taron Johnson to the Las Vegas Raiders. And that doesn't even count Trent McDowell. Right, which happened. Who is now going to be the highest paid defensive back for the Rams. He went from the Chiefs to the Rams. And by the way, like I said, the Rams are going to have to spend money because of this rolling three-year salary cap floor that they have been under. And they made Tripp McDuffie the highest paid defensive back in the history of the league with a four-year, $124 million contract.
I feel like every year we're talking about that. This is the highest paid defensive lineman. This is the highest paid cornerback. This is the highest paid quarterback. Keeps going up and up and up with NFL business. But yeah, the Max Crosby thing, I thought it was going to be the Eagles or the Bears. I thought it was going to be an NFC team. But when you got the offer that you get from the Ravens and a couple of first round picks and a team that's not looking to take a step back. because John Harbaugh is no longer there.
Who is going to be the starting quarterback for the Jets?
I mean, they're looking to be right back into the mix. They didn't fire John Harbaugh or move on from him because they're rebuilding. They want to reset, and they want to go right back at it in the AFC, and nothing says that more than trading a couple first-round picks for Max Crosby.
