Gronk from Dudes on Dudes. I'm here to tell you about protecting your end zone with wet extra large flushable dude wipes. Unlike dry wiping with toilet paper, dude wipes clear instead of smear wetter cleans better. Goodbye dingleberries, Goodbye itch and irritation. Plus, if you take Gronk sized grumpies, or as I like to call them, Gronkies baby wipes won't do. You need Extra big Dude Wipes to handle the job. So don't fumble the ball with toilet paper. Stop being an A hole to your B hole and start using Dude Wipes. Available on Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes Best clean, pants down.
Debo
So they say Baker Could Baker Mayfield be the Steelers next quarterback after Aaron Rogers? NFL Insider Baker Mayfield would be perfect for the Steelers as he's poised to hit free agency after the 2026. I don't know if he go hit free agency after 2026 because I think he gave them Bo to win. Was it. I think you got. I think he gave him to the training clan to, to get a chance to, I guess, you know, get a, get a deal done or however it may be. I don't know why we already talking about a quarterback for the Steelers next year, dude, like, like we talking about. I mean, I would talk about it. Oh, I mean, I guess if it was Joe Burrow, you know what I'm saying? If it was Joe Burrow, I would do that. But Mike Flores, if it's Baker Mayfield United, I, I, I, I ain't tripping. If Mike, if it's Mike Florio, dude, if, like he seems to think that. What do you say? He said Baker Mayfield would be perfect in Pittsburgh. He would be perfect. He said. I know, I know. They would like to get off of the train of old veteran quarterbacks. Baker ain't that old either, though. But I mean, he's a spring chicken compared to Aaron Rodgers. I would make a beeline, he said, for Baker Mayfield. If I'm Mike McCarthy and instillers I get through the season and my options are Will Howard and Drew Aller or Mason Rudolph. I'm doing whatever it takes to get to Baker Mayfield and to get Baker Mayfield in Pittsburgh. So that's what he thinks. I don't know about that.
Joe
What are you thinking?
Debo
Me? I don't know. I would say yes. I would say it would really have to depend on what true development you saw in your players first. So we don't know. We still have no clue of what Drew or Will can do. Drew just got there. Will was hurt. Like, we have no idea. Like, so if that became to where, like, it was like, okay, it was a toss up, throw up in the air of if he was going to be able to or if either one of them was going to be a automatic. I see him as a starter for us next year, then, yeah. Now that's going to determine what it is that Baker is looking to get from it. And assuming what Was his last deal three year, 100 million? You know, he's either looking for that right now. He's 29. He's looking for that right now, and if not more. And they're obviously, I guess they're balking on it a little bit. And he's. He done gave him a deadline that they got to get the deal done by training camp. So if they don't get that deal done by training camp, then he's like, ain't no deal to get done and I'm out of here. If we are in that, I don't know if, if he comes wanting, you know, 35, 40 million, do we even. Yeah, do we even think about that versus what may be out there? And like I said, it's a whole bunch of other stuff that got to happen before we even get to that point. Like where we go be at in the draft, you know, like what we go be. Like, we already go be last, you know what I'm saying? Because we about to win the Super Bowl. So, you know, is it something that we can get done? Package, whatever, Toss. I don't know, to get it. Oh, I hate to say this. Go ahead. I don't know why that just went through my head.
Joe
Say it. What you thinking, Debo?
Debo
If the deal can't be done a little peasy, I might have to switch him off for a couple first round picks.
Joe
Whoa, hell.
Debo
Oh, damn. I don't even know why I thought of that.
Joe
No, no, no, no, no.
Debo
Listen, man, I don't even know why
Joe
he's no, you know, he's young.
Debo
I'm just telling you what went through my head. That was all.
Joe
Yeah, okay. I'm glad you told me.
Debo
My GM hat on. I was trying to get a quarterback in the first day on the first pick, and I know that one.
Joe
One, that one went in one ear, out the other.
Debo
Damn. That was GM thoughts, man. They just float through your head. Crazy something, you know what I'm saying?
Joe
Like, nah, this is what I'm saying. We gotta. We're gonna run this year.
Debo
Oh, yeah, we gotta. We listen, we gotta sign. We gotta sign point blank, period.
Joe
That, that, that's point, blade, period.
Debo
With this, this, this, this Baker Mayfield thing, I just don't see that happening, especially with us having two guys like Mason Rudolph. I don't think he's going to be there. So I don't even think that's a name that really should have been thrown into it. But, like, until we actually know and have a greater understanding of what will and Drew can do. I think we, you know, we. We jump to conclusions way too fast about jumping over and giving, you know, Baker Mayfield, he need to be the quarterback now. Joe Burrow. Yeah. I' ma stumble and trip and fall on my face. Yeah. But, I mean, Becker's good. I'm not. I ain't got nothing to guess him. But it's just depending on, you know, what it is he's looking for what he wants. You know, he. He wanna. He want to come over here with. With like, you know, Aaron Rodgers number. You want to go 25. Maybe up to. Maybe up to 27 or something like even 30, depending on how I go for a year. 2.
Joe
He. He. He had 33. He had 33.
Debo
Right now that might work, but, you know, definitely after the end of the year, we gotta. We gotta. If he don't get signed, we gotta kick the tires and just see what he talking about. You know what I'm saying?
Joe
Yeah. Are we keeping our eyes wide open? We keeping our options open. But we gonna have to know, like you said, we do have two quarterbacks that haven't touched the field for real. That we. Drew Aller and. And, I mean, Drew Howard and. And Aller. And Drew Aller. So, like, if we have these players and we finish a Rod does this whole season, and then he obviously retires, what is McCarthy? Like, who. That's why I'm looking at our team. What is the offensive line? What is our running game? How is our team developed? And then are these two dudes that we have, do we see them looking like, are they better than potentially Baker Mayfield? And I'm not knocking Baker. Like you said, solid, solid option. I'm not mad at him at all. We had Baker on our team without Aaron Rodgers. I would be happy with that. But we're trying to figure out, moving forward, what are all the options? Let's lay all the chips on the table, because if you're saying if it's Joe Burrow, I'm running over everything. I don't care who else was on our roster. You make complete sense. We're going to go get him for when we need him. But with what we got going on now, if Joe Burrow's not there, we can sit there, chill. Is Drew. Is the other guy? What does it look like? We could take our time.
Debo
Yeah, for sure. For sure. Hey, Joe, man, we got some. We got some news. How we got some news over here in. In Cleveland.
Joe
Brown.
Debo
Seven time Pro Bowler, five time All Pro guard. You know who he is? Joe
Joe
Antonio.
Debo
Antonio shout out. Antonio is retired from NFL 12 seasons. Joe. Hey.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
Remember that great office in line.
Joe
Joe. Yep.
Debo
Y' all shored up. What happened?
Joe
Oh, we had to go get. We were kind first.
Debo
It makes me feel so good.
Joe
No, because I wanted to get Joe. We didn't want to just skip till we got. We had. We had to get Lyman to replace my man Joe because Joe, great player. 12 years in the league, seven Pro Bowls, five all pros. The model of consistent consistency he had was the first he passed Joe Thomas and snaps. You know what I'm saying? So just when I was there, when you got players like Joe Pantonio, seven Pro Bowls, when you were just coming in there doing what you got to do every single day, Work pale was the captain of the team for a bunch of years. And like Debo, you always laugh, but when you don't have success and then you have players like Joe that come in and do exactly what you. What a. What a team, what a coach, what a gm, what a. A championship team need, what a championship. What championship teams are looking for. I always just admire that. So when I play. I played with Joe, I played with Joe Thomas and those dudes when he came in his rookie year, he was right next to Joe T. And was able to play for such a long time and just a model level of consistency. He didn't say too much, but the dudes came in there. You know those offensive linemen, they just grown men. They don't do nothing flashy. He had a truck, he chilled. He didn't say nothing. He had his wife, he had his family. And it just was Joe, he just smooth. You knew he was. He was about business. It wasn't. No, it was you. A joke around with you and stuff. But end of the day, Joe's coming in here to do his job. He got a job to do. If you ask him what's going on, he knows exactly what to do. He's never not on time. He's always professional, always just carried himself at a very high character. So when you see dudes in the league just moving around and you just see grown men on your team that you respect and you know that they did it the right way, love him and he. He deserves everything that he gets. So I think he's a future hall of Fame, honestly. So it was him and Joe T. Those two dudes and Alex Smith, Alex Mack. I had like legitimate offensive lineman that we played for the Browns that just were work pale dudes. Lunch lunch work pals just came in there did their jobs every day, actually.
Debo
We have. We have. What he said at his retirement press conference. Listen, Joe, play guard in the NFL. I was drafted the same year as Johnny Manziel, and we actually roomed together. I learned some things not to do from him. I got the opportunity to play with and learn from so many guys. I learned how to be egoless from Nick Chubb. I learned to always smile like Christian Kirksey. I learned a chief slam from David and Joku. I learned how to be fiery and competitive from Baker. Oh, oh, oh, Fire. Competitive. Sound like a good dude, man.
Joe
Really good dude, Debo. Really good.
Debo
I ain't sad he gone. I'm happy. Great. Good job. Go retire. Have your life. Live your life, man. You did a great job, you know?
Joe
You know, he remind me of bro that played for the Steelers. Was it David?
Debo
I knew you was about to say the Castro.
Joe
The Castro. He reminded me of the Castro. I should have said, like, literally, they the same dude. Grown man coming that joint, doing his job to the best of his ability, like all pros. You know what I'm saying? Just coming. I'm like, he makes it look easier than everybody else. He's just chilling, like, getting the job done, writing the spots, the steps and everything. So when I. When I came there, I'm like, this thing remind me of Joe. Like the Castro. The same. So super similar, dude.
Debo
Yeah. Hey, bro. So your boys. Miles Garrett, I guess he. He really meant what he said. So by not getting a raise, Miles Garrett would be taking a pay cut in California. So the Browns owed Garrett 179 million from 2026 through 2030. The Rams, oh, Garrett the same 179 million from 26 through 30. Now, given the significant difference in state income tax rate between Ohio and California, 3.125% versus 13.3. Garrett will lose 10% of his gross pay that he would have had in Cleveland. He now loses that because he went over there to la. Hey, look here, man. I'm trying to tell you, man. Look here, man. Hey, man, I thought he was bull fraggle rocking. The man meant what he said last year when he said he want to win. He went on. He could have told them people, hey, man, bump this up to get that disparity out of there. You know, when I come over there, I need that 10 back. But he didn't. He said, hey, I'm over here. I want to win. I'm willing to lose 10 of my money. I'm gonna pay 10 to come over here and win. Joe. Hey, he meant what he said. Joe, Joe, would you, would you go?
Joe
Yes.
Debo
I know you would.
Joe
I lived in la, is the end of the day. Debo. I hear you. It's what the weather. I call it the weather tax.
Debo
Joe, I understand what you're saying, but
Joe
that weather, it's beautiful out there. So 100 was saying.
Debo
Are you telling me you're telling me that. Listen, Joe, you telling me that weather's tax you was worth 17.9 to you?
Joe
17?
Debo
Hello.
Joe
Honestly, 17.9. What do you want me to do? If I'm going to LA and I'm making the 40 million more that's getting taxed, that's what's going to happen. But all I know is my portion, that's still going to be fine. That's still going to be fine. I'm going to be in la. I'm going to be out here in the beautiful weather every single day. I'm going to wake up to.

I'm going to run up the bag again. So like Miles isn't really like the most flashy dude like you said. I understand that's 17.9 crazy
Debo
over the
Joe
45 years of the contract. I understand but which you just not so all, all of the players that go to LA though like you just. I understand that's just what it is. You're going to get taxed because you're in the state of California. So you can't they not paying no more. I mean it's, it's, it's weather tax. He's going over there, he's about to go win some and that's just, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not. If I'm going to California and I'm gonna go out there and play with them and I'm making that 40. And I'm hearing what you're saying with the taxes a thousand percent I'm gonna be sick. But give me mines. Let's go win this.
Debo
So, so you go out there happy then
Joe
I'm still outside. I'm you not gonna like what I gotta say. I Love. I'm gonna be working for it. I'm gonna be grinding. I hope we gonna go going to go get it. I'm still on the team next season. I'm still getting another 40 after then I did. I'm get taxed again. I'm getting taxed everywhere. You can't help the taxes. So I could try to do get some. Get some write offs, do all of that stuff but get a good tax crew tax.
Debo
The hell with that. You ain't get away from recruit.
Joe
We gotta figure out a way on the. On another. Go buy them $500,000 tickets and then go write that off and get some tax write offs.
Debo
Don't need no tax write off. They taking it now. Joe, when you get paid as a W2, you don't you trying to get back not write it off.
Joe
Well, all I know is this Miles is fine. And if I was out there, I would be thinking the same. I'm going to be fine.
Debo
Joe. Joe. At 10%.
Joe
So with Matthew Stafford. With Matthew Stafford, should he. Should he just get a. Like what. What should he be asking the Rams for more because they're getting taxed more than when he was in Detroit.
Debo
Let. Yes, he should. He should make sure he get that percentage on top of. Yes, of course. Who wouldn't? Yes, they traded him over there, right? Okay.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
Yes. This trade. When you trade me, son. Hey, you think I'm coming here just to cut. No, you go give me that 10 on top right now.
Joe

Debo

Joe
It's.
Debo
It's 179 million 10 of that 1 million 17.9, Joe.
Joe
That's another 4. 4 million a year. So instead of making $40 million a year, it's $36 million.
Debo
Stop trying to break down the year and look at the total.
Joe
I hear you with the total db.
Debo
Now don't forget they go tax. You want some money?
Joe

Joe

Debo
I don't believe I still ain't got them shoes you was talking about back in 2007.
Joe
I did end up getting you some shoes. I did get you some shoes. I got you some. I got you some shoes. I know I did. I got everybody's shoes. I did. I got the whole. See, don't be lying. Don't be lying. I don't know. You got him. I gave him to everybody. I gave everybody.
Debo
I wasn't there. You gave him off for Christmas. I wasn't there. I was in. I was in New England.
Joe
See? See? Okay. I see, okay, you're right.
Debo
Kicked out the playoffs and I was going to the Super Bowl.
Joe
Hey, at least we had. They had Js, though. At least I got. Everybody had Js though.
Debo
Everybody had their Jays, though. In Cancun
Joe
on the way today, on the way to the airport. Everybody had their J's on.
Debo
Listen, bro.
Joe
Hey, what's up?
Debo
Kyler Murray, man. Jj, Ricardo R. Competing for the quarterback for the Vikings quarterback job. So Kyler Murray, he on a one year deal and McCarthy is entering his third year and Justin Jefferson, dude, he had. He had some high words to say about McCarthy.
Joe
He.
Debo
He said he understands the game, he understands the defense, he understands just how to put touch on the ball just enough to where it gets to where it's got to go without making it difficult for us. So he understands the game a lot more just because he's been in the game for a couple years. For a couple years now. And my mic still working. Did I mess it up?
Joe
Yeah, yeah, you're good.
Debo
So he kind of throws the ball before you even get out of that break. Throws you open for sure. He's a smart guy, he's a competitor. Just like me, Joe.
Joe
Yes, sir.
Debo
Yeah, well, hey, what you hear, you know me. Because, you know, you know me. I always read in between lines. Joe, would you. What you hear, Joe? Tell me what that sound like to you, Joe?
Joe
It sound like he. It sound like he want that to be his qb. That's what it sounds like to me. It sound like man throwing them open. It sound like he don't know how he hasn't been thrown open too many times before. When you're talking about his throwing them before he comes out of his breaks, it just sounds like a vet. Veteran quarterback. When I went. When I came over from the Browns to the Steelers and I started and not trying to put Kyler Murray in Ben Spur at all, but Ben, when you had a quarterback like that, he's throwing the ball to spots where people need to be to the spot. When he's saying throwing people open. If somebody's on you on the top shoulder and you put it to the back shoulder like just a regular quarter, you have to play a ball placement, and you got to be able to read. You're looking off the linebacker. You want him to go short. So then the dig open up behind you. So you look down and then you throw it to the dig. So there's like, you're. You're manipulating the defenses. You're throwing people open, you're throwing comebacks. When they come out of the break, the ball is already out towards the sideline. So now he just got to throw his hands out, put his feet in. The ball is already here. So I think he's just saying that the vet presence of him putting the ball in places where I don't have the younger quarterbacks waiting. I see him. I have to see him open before I throw the ball. You cannot do that in the National Football League. You have to be able to expect him to be in a spot and throw it time and be able to put it in the spot before the dude gets there. So for me, it sounded like Jefferson is saying that my other man's the other quarter backup. The backup wasn't doing it. And Kyler Murray likes the backup.
Debo
You. You made the man the backup already.
Joe
I mean, I mean, look, the. The quarterback that we're in competition with.
Debo
J.J. oh, you mean it started from last year? Yeah, you said. You said. Becca. Yo, listen. No, I'm reading in between lines. I'm a man like to read in between lines because it's. It's not always about the words you say. It's about the words you don't say. It's not about the things you say. It's about the things you don't say.
Joe
Okay.
Debo
Okay. By the things he said, by the things he didn't say, it sound like. It sound like JJ might be out there at OTAs doing that same stuff he was doing last year during the season, because he didn't give any. Ah, he's doing this and doing that, and you know what JJ is. He's actually doing the same thing. So it's. Nope, it ain't. They ain't sound like it. You know, Murray's still. Still youngest for a quarterback was 29. He don't turn 29 to August.
Sheba Cat Advertiser
Yeah.
Debo
So. And.
Joe
And.
Debo
And Jefferson said, you know, it'd be nice to have the same quarterback for a couple years. This might be the opportunity to say, I had the same quarterback for a couple years. He obviously saying that my quarterback ain't gonna be the same quarterback from last year. Already he's saying that without saying it. It'd be nice to have a court. Same quarterback for a couple years. Well, if. If he thought it was gonna be the same quarterback from last year, it already. It'd be a couple years right now. Right. I'm saying, just saying,
Joe
he, you know, he's liking. He's putting the ball. He's. He's throwing him open.
Debo
Yes, sir.
Joe
I mean, when you talk. When he starts saying that and he's not saying that about. I mean, maybe the question was how much. How. What is Kyler Murray showing us? Maybe he didn't even have to bring up jj, you know what I'm saying? You don't have to put up one man to put the other one down. You know what I'm saying? Maybe that. I mean, still, he. He understands the game. He understands.
Debo
I understand that, but that, that.
Joe
But touch on the ball.
Debo
All good quarterbacks do that. Obviously, this is something that he hasn't been used to seeing, and he's excited about it.
Joe
Yeah, basically. Debo, I'm just trying to not not. Yeah, he's saying he likes you.
Debo
Trying not, not what? Trying not to tell the truth.
Joe
No, I'm not trying.
Debo
You trying not to read into something?
Joe
No, I already told. I. I put my man on the bench almost exactly, you know what I'm saying? So what you mean? I'm trying to let him know. I'm trying to let him know. I'm trying to let him know easily how I think he's going down. Justin Jefferson, best receiver, just kind of made Kyler Murray the starter. So I think you makes jj. You might go to the bench.
Debo
Don't question, brother. Yeah, let's check out these snap. Let's check out these super chats. Covenant Life. Covenant Life. Back. Hold up. I got a number on there where it's at. Y' all ain't put the number on there. I'm gonna have to go over here to the chat, y'.
Joe
All.
Debo
I'm have to scroll down right here, baby. We got Covenant Life 19. She said y' all probably don't realize, but the joy and laughter you can bring, the joy and laughter you bring can reach people on days they're barely holding it together. Thank you for being more than just athletes and for giving people moments that generally matter. Thank you, Covenant Life.
Joe
Thank you, Covenant Life.
Debo
She talking about me? Come on, Joe. They used to see you.
Joe
No, no, no.
Debo
My laughter coming to life. Tell them who you're talking about. Who? Who.
Joe
Go ahead and it's gonna. It's gonna piss you off.
Debo
Say me. I know she ain't gonna say.
Joe
It's all good.
Debo
I know she ain't gonna say you yak. We got Stillers Dash. Loyal Mac stillers. Loyal Mac. $10 said the Steelers. Should the Steelers trade make. Ain't nobody gonna trade for Mesa Rudolph. So the Steelers trademates. I don't know why I said that. I don't know why I said that. Listen, let me start on. Should the Steelers trade Mason Rudolph and Will. Will Howard be the number and make Will Howard the number two and Drew Aller the number three? Or are they. Are the Steelers trying to trade Heist? I don't know about trading Heisman. They already said they got some. They got a way to work that out. See, I'll be stopping in the middle stuff, talking. What part of the defense has you the most hyped? So should the Steelers trade Mason Rudolph and make Will Howard the number two and Drew Aller the number three? And are the Steelers trying to trade High Smith? What part of the defense has you most hyped? So for me, they're not going to trade Mason Rudolph because I don't think we can get anything for him, to be honest. Who they're going to make one and two, I think, will depend on who does the best in OTA's training camp and all that. And trading Highsmith is not going to happen because they just paid Herbic, and I feel like he's gonna. It's going to be a transition over the next couple years where we keep that group. And, you know, like I said, after that second year, when TJ's guarantee is done, I think he jumps to 40. Something else million that last year and he's going to be 34, 35. I think they releasing you?
Joe
I'm going with. I don't know about the trade with Mason. I think will Howard probably be too because we got him before Drew. But then like you said, equal competition. See who's going to be ahead on that spot. Highsmith. No, keep Highsmith. I don't think we're going to trade him. I think where we got. Like you said, we got tj, we got Nick Herbic and we have Highsmith under contract for the next two years. Steelers don't need to get rid of talent that we have. We can still accumulate as much. And then with this D line pressure, three starting real guys, you know what I'm saying? That could really get it done. And then what part. I'm excited about the secondary because I think with the. I just don't. I think the communication. Once we have communication, the body on bodies is people don't always. People aren't making plays on us. When we're in the right position, then it's going to be a lot more to see. So I think with the secondary just being a body on the body, the communication, everybody just being lined up in the right position when the ball is snapped, I think that's what I'm most excited to see.
Debo
Yes. Yeah. I'm excited to see the defense, period. To see them under a new scheme, see them communicate, work together. Yes. Coordinated effort where everybody is on the same page. Covenant life back again. 19. I always speak the nicest things I can. When it comes to your true love. Yeah, them janky ass browns. Okay. Benito said the great hope. The great hope gone. Said the great hope is the. The great. Dude, you got to give me full sentences coming to life. You know I have.
