It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live at the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Want to talk about wild card weekend or John Harbaugh where he's going to end up? You call the Red Pocket Mobile fan line, which is 888-808-1019, which is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. You know, Juwan Jennings, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers who threw the touchdown pass yesterday, also had a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl. Yeah. He's one of two people to have a non-quarterback that has thrown two touchdown passes in NFL playoff history. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

What are the key matchups in the Niners vs. Seahawks game?

Boomer Esiason 0:43
You know who the other guy is, Al? Hines Ward? Good guess. Bronco Nagurski. Gotta love that name. Now what? Nothing. I just thought you'd like to know that. That was our play of the week, man. Oh, okay. How about Demarcus Robinson coming out of nowhere and having a game that he had? No one had that happening. I mean, right out of the gate, this guy was contributing. And I really think, I mean, I know that everybody's going to be on Seattle, but, I mean, with the way that this team has just got the, we can't do it because so many people are hurt and nobody believes in us and all that stuff. The way that Purdy and McCaffrey are playing. And Brock Purdy, too. After, you know, the way Mac Jones played, the comeback.

and play this well, and then also go into Philadelphia where he quit last time in a playoff game and then pull that off is remarkable. Yeah, remarkable is right. I just don't know if they – I mean, they're just dropping like flies, and they're going to be playing a team coming off of a bye. They're going to be on a short week, and this is going to be in the Seattle building. Yeah. Seattle looks to be, I think, about 99.9% healthy. Well, yeah, that certainly helps. So if you missed it last segment, Matt LaFleur is going to be staying in Green Bay, according to Adam Schefter. The Packers and LaFleur are going to be working on a contract, so that hopefully eliminates for good John Harbaugh. Going there.
Boomer Esiason 2:22
So now we're waiting to see what the Philadelphia Eagles may or may not do. Something is strange there. And A.J. Brown has talked. You saw him and Sirianni get into it. But I really don't think that those two guys had much of a problem with one another. I think what happens is what happened is and what's going on there is a Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown deal. Now, you were just talking to me about the Philadelphia Eagles cap. If they trade A.J. Brown, I'm pretty sure that's going to be dead cap money that they can't handle. I'm sure if they trade Jalen Hurts, that's dead cap money that they can't handle. Yes. So is it easier to get rid of the offensive coordinator, get rid of the head coach, and try to find a way to get those two guys to coexist than get rid of the players?
Boomer Esiason 3:08
Probably, but, I mean, something's got to give there.
Jerry Recco 3:11
Something has to give.
Boomer Esiason 3:11
Yeah, so A.J. Brown, let's just take a look at his contract here for a second. So A.J. Brown, after next year, has the potential out. So he looks like he could be traded. Okay. His dead cap money is $72 million. But, you know, all this stuff is, you know... It can be changed around. New contracts can be written and money can be given up front. There could be voidable years. There's a lot of that stuff that's intertwined into their roster and their cap spending. Yeah. So if you're a coach, you want to make sure when you're looking at a team, you want to see the amount of money that they have available for free agency. Sure. And for extensions for certain players. That's one of the other things that coaches and general managers actually dive deep into, like what does the future look like when it comes to your cap situation, your space, how much space do you have, and how much are you willing to spend?
Boomer Esiason 4:18
Draft capital. Yeah. It's another thing. All that stuff. That's why the Jets are in a great situation. They are when it comes to draft capital and free agency, absolutely, and salary cap situation. Yes.
