On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the latest in NFL free agency. Bo starts the show by reacting to the vast amount of unexpected NFL news including Geno Smith being traded to the Raiders (4:15), why Sam Darnold will end up in Seattle (7:26), and if DK Metcalf getting paid means George Pickens will want a new contract as well. (12:54) Next, Bo revisits his thoughts on Myles Garrett after he re-signed with the Cleveland Browns (14:50), by saying he is the greatest player in their franchise's history since Jim Brown and what this contract extension means for Micah Parsons. (19:33) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving why America is persecuting its teachers, 'boomers' trying to get one last job before retirement (28:03), and why Tulsa is aiming to be the next big tech city. Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time you tried your mom or dad.
