It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network. Get some calls in this segment at 888-808-1019. It's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. I have not seen any action today with Adam Schefter. And his account. There's been nothing. He's just posted a video about him talking about what happened yesterday. An update on Trey Hendrickson and the Raiders moves he wrote an article about. So no juice yet. on the second day of this tampering period. And we'll see, I'm sure. I mean, it's early. It's early for these guys. They were up all last night. They're getting their shut-eye.

They're hammering out contracts. But if anything happens, you keep it locked here to WFA. And you get instant reaction all day long. I'm trying to figure out how many players... agreed to contracts with the NFL yesterday. I'm trying to, let's see. I just saw in that Schefter article an insane number just to the Raiders. Eight players on contracts valued at $283.75 million. I mean, there's different ways to build a team. Yeah, there is. Now, they're saying that it's about 100 players maybe. There's 20 to 40 prominent agreements there. And then the full number, lesser-known players, probably somewhere between 50 and 100 had agreed to contracts, haven't signed yet. They won't sign until tomorrow. Tomorrow, the new league year starts.
Boomer Esiason 1:48
That's right. Wednesday, March 11th, the new league year. And that's when you may see Kirk Cousins officially. Maybe, I don't know, did they put a June 1st designation on him? I'm sure they do. I don't know when they do. But that's the one we're keeping an eye on more than the others because that right now, as everything stands, is the best fit out of all the options that are out there for the Jets at the quarterback position. Did any of this surprise you yesterday? Any players surprise you? Prior to free agency, Max Crosby going to the Ravens did surprise me. So trade. Make it Fitzpatrick coming to the Jets. I mean, yeah, that was a little surprising. Only close to the Dolphins was not surprising. Nope.
Boomer Esiason 2:34
You know what? Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs. I did not see him signing that contract on day one of free agency and going to the Chiefs. So maybe that takes them out of the Jeremiah Love sweepstakes in the draft. Certainly does. Without a doubt. Yeah. So that is an interesting one.
Gio 2:49
That was really surprising.
Boomer Esiason 2:50
Really surprising, that one. Oh, wow. We knew Mike Evans was probably going to go elsewhere, so that one wasn't all that surprising. Tremaine Edmonds I was screaming about for the Giants, so that worked out. How about the Jalen Phillips deal with Carolina? That was really surprising. Yeah, I think that was Carolina jumping in. Maybe you could say they overpaid for him to get him there. Get him there. So yeah, I don't know. But it's Jalen Phillips. The one thing I will say is that the Jets rebuilt their defense. And more importantly, even though some of these guys are a little bit older and long in the tooth, you can't discount the impact that they have on younger players when it comes to preparation. And it comes to leadership.
Boomer Esiason 3:35
And I think that's why Demario Davis was thought of as a very important signing for the Jets. He's going to go in there. He and Minko will go right in there. And they will be the captains on defense. Need some professional veterans to set the foundation of this rudderless ship. You got to be careful with older players, though. That's the thing. We say that it is a young man's game. It's about speed. It's about durability. And it really, I mean, in the 17-game season, the amount of injuries that are taking place and that we are witnessing over the last three or four years are so significant. And the older player tends to get injured. Yeah, I mean, the younger player gets injured too. It's a violent game.
Boomer Esiason 4:16
But, yes, you want to make sure that you have as many young guys on that roster as possible. Let's go to Conrad and Jerry Hill.
