Debo
you know who ain't cooking with Tallow? Two. Two up to what? Hey, I ain't gonna lie. He cooking. He's still cooking.
Joe
He's definitely cooking.
Debo
Hey, he's still cooking. They said they scheduled to release them to a Tonga by Allure post June 1st designation. So by them cutting him, they are going to take a record. Dude. $99 million in dead money split over two years. Like, dude, he plans to sign with Atlanta. I guess once, once he's. Once he was released. Like, dude, how bad do it got to be for them to say, you know what man, we just go take this here to this. 99 let you go over.
Joe
That's what I'm trying to figure out. Somebody give you a hundred million dollars to go home. That's crazy. Take your ball and your 100 million and go home. Roger, like how bad can it be? So that's why when we look at these contracts of like oh yeah, Tua. Back in the day, like oh yeah, they signed up for 250. He's like, yeah, come on, give me the money. Now two years later, they're letting him go and giving him 100 to go with his ball. Like for me as an owner, I don't care. I can't bite. 100 million for you to go take the ball. Like, I don't know, I might. You, you gotta be. It has to be something so bad.
Debo
You kinda, you kinda gotta bite that. Cause you just hired a new head coach.
Joe
Okay, no, no, for sure you gotta bite that one.
Debo
You gotta bite that one. Because he's saying you ain't about to stick personal feelings and then tell me you gonna fire me in two years when we don't do shit.
Joe
I'm just looking at it as a owner wise.
Debo
So you would've just kept him and just made him just stay there and come to work.
Joe
You asked me if I owned the team. I can't give somebody a hundred million dollars down the street. That, that just doesn't make sense.
Debo
That's a roster spot though, that you need.
Joe
Joe, he's still gonna Be on the team. I don't care if he's getting 100, he's on my team. I don't care. He's gonna do something. He's gonna be doing something. Cause I'm not giving you a hundred not to do nothing. I can't. You could even, even if they don't have him on the team, he's on another team. You paying this? No, no, this, this for my mental state.
Debo
Joe, you can't take up the roster spot. Joe, you got to let it go.
Joe
No, Joe is as backup quarterback for 400.
Debo
You gonna make your practice squad. Yes. And keep him there for the 99 because what a year I think I didn't get nothing. He didn't do no practice squad. They could have did that.
Joe
You get nothing for him and you pay him 100 million out of two years.
Debo
Joe, that's gonna look so petty though.
Joe
I mean now we worry, now we worried about. Now we worried about being able to
Debo
put myself in the owner without being petty and I can't. I'm with you.
Joe
It's not your hundred million dollars I'm paying, it's my hundred million dollars.
Debo
Hey, he gonna have to do something. I don't care if you, his ass
Joe
is cleaning the, the facility.
Debo
Something. You doing something?
Joe
You doing something. Hey honey, it's clearing every two, every other Tuesday. That Jones on his seat for the bag and then he went to the Falcons. What they gonna pay like one. What he's going to the Falcons, they're
Amber Grimes
gonna pay one point.
Debo
I think they say like 1 3, 1 2, something like that.
Joe
That's what I'm saying.
Debo
That's your boy Stefanski over there pulling. I don't know what your boy over there thinking, man. I don't think he thinking that's gonna, that's gonna be the fill in until Penix get back from that.
Joe
The thing is he realized at the end of the day he was not knocking him. Tua love Tua, but the concussions, him being a little smaller, him not being able to be as like when I see Tua run now I get a little spooked cause I think get down or you're about to get your head, you're about to get your bell rung. Cause he's a little loose necked when he starts running out there. He's been put to sleep a lot
Debo
and
Joe
you gotta work, he gotta work on it.
Debo
Listen, now that you said that this is something a lot of people don't understand. It's like next neck circumference has a lot to do with concussions. You know, bigger and thicker. Your neck is the least likely you are to get concussions. So y' all need to work on that neck strength, man.
Joe
Because, you know when somebody falls Debo, and they just fall.
Debo
Boom.
Joe
And you got a strong neck, you're not letting your head snap back, right? If you go like this, mom, you let your neck just go crazy. You're putting yourself to sleep. So my. My thing is, I'm looking at Tua, and I'm like, all right, they know he's a. He's a. He was a franchise quarterback. They wouldn't have gave him the 250 million if they didn't think he was being a franchise quarterback. So I'm looking at this. The Falcons, 24.
Debo
They guaranteeing, what, 160.
Joe
That's what I'm saying. When you get a man that's got. Making that guaranteed in 160, and you could get him on your team for 1.41, we're talking about deals and steals. I'm not mad at Kevin Stefanski for that at all. Because you got another team paying $45 million, and you have them on your team for 1.4. So you have a franchise quarterback for the low, low, low that they were trying to get a. Get. Get rid of. People have worse backup quarterbacks on the team. So if I'm so fancy, I'm not mad. I'm not mad at it. I'm. I would. I did the same thing. Like, how. But my thing is, with Tua, how much longer? I. I just don't really. But two for the 1.4 is better than Tour at the 100 and take your ball and leave. So, like, if he's still in the league, he's still a professional. I'm taking him at Atlanta for 1.4.
Debo
Okay. Okay, hold up, Joe. I got a scenario for. You know, I like to get scenarios. I'm a scenario type of guy. So you are a journeyman type of player. You make good money, but you don't make great money. Okay, say you make, you know, about 50 over your career.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
You get you a couple. You get you full Super Bowls. Full Super Bowls in that process, man. Oh, yeah. I'm just. I'm just saying this is you. I'm just saying this is the process I'm putting you in. It's a scenario. Putting you in that place. Okay, okay. Or you end up, like, tour, getting cut, not being. Not having nothing. But you got. You got 160 million. Which one you taking.
Joe
I honestly. I would take the. I would take.
Debo
Probably.
Joe
I would do the 50 if I had four Super Bowls, Debo like, I mean, yeah, I might take four. I'll take the post for sure.
Debo
What if it's one Super Bowl?
Joe
One Super Bowl. So they basically asked me, is one Super bowl worth $90 million? That's what you're asking me?
Debo
I'm telling you one super bowl or extra 110 million. But you. You considered a bum now.
Joe
Considered a bum?
Debo
Yeah. How you don't just let nobody go with a hundred million dollars if you ain't considering them a bum.
Joe
You're correct with that. You're correct.
Debo
Can you probably take it, Joe? Tell me.
Joe
No, I'm one. One ship. 50 million or no ships and 160 and they calling me a bum.
Debo
Calling you a bum.
Joe
I'm taking that bread.
Debo
They're calling you a bum and you're a snitch and you telling on people. See?
Joe
Let's see. So you always telling people ain't showing
Debo
up at the meeting. I'm just adding.
Joe
Act the chat.
Debo
What you think?
Joe
Chat. No, man, I'm gonna go ahead and take that. I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna go ahead and take that. 160. So I ain't never. I ain't never been.
Debo
Yo, money the root of all evil, man. Oh, weed, man, that must. I don't know what that is, Joe.
Joe
Hey, how about them dude, what looks you gonna tell them don't talk to me. How about them dudes are selling a Super Bowl.
Debo
Rich. Listen, they might.
Joe
Look, that super bowl ain't keeping their lights on. So they get.
Debo
Listen, bro.
Joe
Jacked up and they had to let that thing go.
Debo
Listen, I would sell mine for the
Joe
right price and you talking about me, Joe, listen.
Debo
I still won the Super Bowl, Joe. I won the super bowl. Just cause I sell somebody the ring that want to overpay just to have the sentimental value of putting it on their finger. If they're willing to pay what it is, I'm willing to give it up for. Hell yeah. You can't take away my Super Bowl.
Joe
You can't take away your Super Bowl. I understand that. You're correct.
Debo
What is you talking about? Just like you can't get a Super bowl or get no respect or you can't lose the tag of being a bum or a snitch or all that other stuff.
Joe
It's not me you talking about.
Debo
I'm just saying. I'm just saying I could get. Listen, listen.
Joe
I don't need to wear it on
Debo
my finger to see I don't got a.
Joe
But they're not walking around calling me a bum, that's for sure.
Debo
That's what I'm saying, Joe. You go take that. You go take the 160 instead of the hardware.
Joe
Why you had to call the man a snitch, though? You just threw it every.
Debo
I was just, you know, I was just, you know, saying. He said that people wouldn't come to meetings, and he was dropping names on it. But, you know, I'm just saying. Hey, Joe.
Joe
Yo.
Debo
You want one of these for the right price? I sell you one, see?
Joe
Nope, I don't. I don't. Because I don't deserve. It's not mine.
Debo
Hey, hey, I seen you. I send you this one because it goes with the jersey that I got for you, huh?
Joe
Okay. Yeah, yeah, send it with the jersey. I can't stand you sometimes. So cool. You so fun.
Debo
Hold on, let me make sure you can see it, Joe.
Joe
There you go, Joe.
Debo
There you go. It's a pinky ring. Hey, Joe, here, let me show you this one. Let's go. This one right here. Listen, Joe. This one right here, this one got six of them things in there, Joe. I got six of them things in there. This one only got five, but anyway,
Joe
I like that one more.
Debo
You like that one more?
Joe
Yeah, you can.
Debo
Listen, that one right there, that one just to. To sell that one. Boy, I. Listen, you thought giraffe was high Dang nothing. Hide charge I'm gonna get for that.
Joe
You're gonna need that. You're gonna need some of that dead money.
Debo
Hey, I need. Hey, I'm need some of that. Huh? Okay, listen, listen. My kids got one. One of my sons got one. One of my sons got the other one. And then one of them got a watch and some other stuff, whatever, you know, AFC Championship stuff, you know. You know how it goes, you know?
Joe
You know.
Debo
Yeah. You know, when you win in the playoffs, you get things. Oh, you don't. Oh, never mind.
Joe
All I know is when I got. Yeah, I got a hat and T shirt, though.
Debo
Oh, you got a T shirt. All right. That's good. And you got a hat, too, right?
Joe
And a hat.
Debo
That's good. Yep. That's good. You get some hardware?
Joe
Nah, I got a hat. I told you what I got.
Debo
Championship. Don't you. Hey.
Joe
Oh, yeah. National championship for sure. SEC Championship, all that I got. Yeah.
Debo
Would you sell? Would you sell. Would you sell your national Championship ring for the right price?
Joe
No.
Debo
Okay. What if you was down bad.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
Okay. That's what I'm saying, Joe. What are you talking about? Sometimes, like, you can't knock somebody for selling the ring because sometimes. A lot. A lot of times, cats, you know, it's a situation that may have popped up where they need to, you know, they ain't, you know. You know how it goes. No, no, no.
Joe
For sure. For sure. Does that really. I'm not knocking, but I'm just saying, you talk super bowl is so important. I'm like. It's just not. Because it's the. It's the. It's the winning of the game. It's not the material of the ring. Okay.
Debo
It's the winning of the game. Right. It's not the ring itself.
Joe
Okay.
Debo
I ain't gonna say it don't mean nothing to me, but it does mean something. But anything that is a. A item.
Joe
Yeah. That's material. Material. They can't take. They can't take the championship. It's in books.
Debo
Yes.
Joe
In the history.
Debo
Take that one. Okay? You can't take that respect. And then you know what they did? As soon as they did that, they said, hey, we're gonna go and drop another 67.5 million, and we go get Malik Willis as our quarterback for the Dolphins. Joe, how much money?
Joe
Boy, they got that bag in Miami, don't they? That's what I try to tell people all the time. Everybody.
Debo
And they got the best facilities, bruh.
Joe
Bruh. And they. Facilities, fire. And they got us. And they got a club in a stadium.
Debo
No taxes, bro.
Joe
Fire.
Debo
And they got the club. I forgot about the club. They got a pool. You walking to live.
Joe
You in. You in live watching the game. It's crazy.
Debo
Easy.
Joe
Miami got it popping. But this one I tell you, though, Debo, this one I try to tell you. Don't let these people fool you and say, oh, we don't have no money.
Debo
Oh, we don't have no money.
Joe
How the hell you don't have no money? You can give away a hundred million dollars to. Not on your team and then bring in another quarterback and give him 67 million. That's 167 million. 100 for somebody not on your squad. Like, I don't want to hear that manipulation roster things, all of that stuff, all of that making money guaranteed is possible. So anybody talking that craziness.
Debo
Oh, no, we don't have no bread.
Joe
Look at Miami. Look what they just did. How did they go sign the quarterback
Debo
and still have a trade Minka away? They had to find somebody
Joe
Traded Minka away.
Debo
Go with 50 a year, bruh. It just dead gone.
Joe
That's what I'm trying to tell you. And you like this?
Debo
Yeah.
Joe
You can't have him keep. You can't have him stay there. I'm like, no, no. I mean, they took it on the chin like some real ones. We picked the dude, gave him the bread. That is not the guy. And they just didn't stand in their own mess.
Debo
Joe, I'm gonna find. He got. I'm gonna find something for him to do.
Joe
That's what. I already told you what I was doing. You were looking at me crazy. He's not leaving the facility. He's. He's. You're going to. You're going to work for the. For the Dolphins for the next two years. You gotta work off that hundred, man.
Debo
You got to do something. I don't care if you just got
Joe
to show up because you're not. Because you're not being there. And me still having to write that check every week is crazy work. But they did it though. They. They. They took it on the chin. Like, look, we made a wrong decision. We not just going to keep trying to make it better.
Debo
Well, they only did that after they got rid of the coach that made the wrong decision. So, yeah, they went ahead and got rid of everything. Smart move. But I just. Joe99 I'm cool with the move to get to good, you know?

This Women's History Month, the podcast if youf Knew Better with Amber Grimes spotlights women who turn missteps into momentum and lessons into power. I think coming out of where I
Joe
came from, I'm from the Bronx.
Amber Grimes
I think I grew up really poor. I didn't know that then because I very much use my creativity to romanticize life, and I'm like, my mom did a really good job of, like, you step back and you're like, whoa. We. I don't know how we made it. So a lot of my life was, like, built out of, like, survival to get to the next place, like, my drive, my, like, tunnel vision of, like, I got to be better, I got to achieve. This was off the strengths of, like, I want to make a better life for us. If youf Knew Better brings real talk from women who've lived it, unpacking career pivots, relationship lessons, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. Listen to if youf Knew Better with Amber grimes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Joe
All right, son, time to put out this campfire.
Debo
Dad, we learned about this in school.
Joe
Oh, did you now? Okay, what's first? Smokey Bear said, too. First drown it with a bucket of water, then stir it with a shovel. Wow, you sound just like him.

Debo
Hi, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, here's the thing. I'm speaking with more artists, policymakers, and performers like composer Marc Shaiman.
Joe
Once you've established that you have the
Debo
talent, it's about the hang.
Joe
It's the pleasure of hanging out with
Debo
the people that you're with. You know, Rob and I was always a great hang.
Joe
We would sit in kibbutz for hours and then eventually get around to the music. That's what I mostly think of when I think of him.
Debo
The time together.
Joe
Laughing Lawyer Robbie Kaplan.
Amber Grimes
The great gift of being a lawyer is the ability to actually change things in our society in a way that very few people can. You can really make a difference to
Debo
causes in the United States if you
Amber Grimes
bring the right case at the right time.
Debo
Marriage equality.
Amber Grimes
Yeah, Windsor's the perfect example.
Joe
And journalist Chris Whipple.
Debo
Every White House staffer, they work in a bubble called the West Wing. And it's exponentially more so in the Trump White House. Listen to the new season of here's the thing on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm good with that. Great with the price. That was way cheaper than what? You know, we were thinking, like, he might get 30 a year. You know what I'm saying? What is that, 24, 25, something like that. 22. Okay. Yeah. So 23.
Joe
22. 23. So, yeah, I, I like the fact that for the team, for the Dolphins, yes, this is a great, great pickup. 20 under the $30 million mark, and it was supposed to be between 20 and 30. You got them like 23 solid. And everybody else, like, from what we were looking at, I think Malik is going to be a good quarterback. It's going to be a good chance what he did with Green Bay. So I'm rocking with Miami because they're showing that they still, after they gave out the hunted, they still are ready to get. They still are in the mix. They still like, all right, quarterback is the most important position. So if we don't have that, we don't have a chance. And the new coaches like this, yo, can't just. All right, we got rid of. That was all y' all mistakes. I'll take him. Malik. I like him. This is gonna be my guy.
Debo
Yeah, I think it was.
Joe
I think that's good.
Debo
Halfley and Sullivan, they were. They were with him in Green Bay, so, you know, they actually worked with him. He did a lot of the scout stuff, I guess. So they were there. They. They seen it. They. They got comfortable with him, you know, and like they said. He said, they have. They have good relationship. So, I mean, that was. That was an automatic. And they stayed low pro with it, though, too. They wasn't even up. Up there loud with it. They ain't Even say nothing about possibly just letting tour. Just get out of there with a honey.
Joe
They know it's. It's loud. It's loud, everybody. Right, bro, remember, no signing for 100 used to be the thing. Damn, that man hit him for a
Debo
hundred, he hit him for 160.
Joe
And I'm just saying.
Debo
I'm just doing nothing.
Joe
Back in the day, back in the day. It just was.
Debo
That's strong. Armed robbery, bro.
Joe
Bare face, no mask.
Debo
No mask.
Joe
No mask.
Debo
Hello, Raw Daylight. Give me that honey. I mean, I'll see y' all later. And then put his back on and left as he jumped in this Lambo.
Joe
Give me my money and I need it now.
Debo
Or his wraith and his ghosts. That's two different colors.
Joe
Oh, see, you know, you gotta. You at least you have a death. Two different roses, you know, I can't tell the difference.
Debo
It's hella money to me, Joe.
Joe
One's a two door, one's a four door.
Debo
Oh, you gotta have one that's two doors and one that's four. What the hell is the difference, Joe?
Joe
You know what I'm saying?
Debo
Oh, one's a race, one's a ghost, one's a spirit, one's a host.
Joe
Oh, they used to, you know,
Debo
and
Joe
the big boy, the Cullinan, you know, you know, you know all about. You act like you don't know, but
Debo
you know, bro, I don't know nothing about. I'm listening to the chat, the chat, telling me everything I need to know. That's all. I look at the chat, the chat go, tell me what's going on.
Joe
That hip, the chap know what the culinary rose.
Debo
Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Yeah. Look here, man, who else we got? Evans is leaving Tampa Bay, bruh. He signed a three year deal with San Francisco that could be worth up to 64 million. His agent, though, said this was not about money. He said the Buccaneers were extremely aggressive in their pursuit and presented a very strong offer. In the end, the decision came down to Mike wanting a new challenge and a fresh opportunity while he still feels like he has a great deal left to give the game. Joe.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
What do you think? Do you think it was the money or do you. Do you think he just was like, yo, it ain't go, it ain't gonna be it over here? You think he just.
Joe
I mean, I think he'd been there for a while. He's been there for a while and he got the right for change of scenery when you become free. Like if they didn't sign them Going into that last year, when you give a player the chance to become free and be able to see their options, be able to look and see what other teams that they can go to and just want to switch it up, like, there's not really too many chances where you control your own destiny. And then Mike Evans, in the end of his career, knowing that he probably can get another three year deal and you can get $20 million a year playing receiver at 30 some years old and trying to go to a team where you feel like gives you the best chance to win. You might. And maybe not that it's not a. Probably a shot against Tampa, but being an NFL player, you having that right to be able to go wherever you
Debo
want, it has to be a shot because you've been there your whole career, like. And I think it's just a shot because he's at that point right now. He's going to year, what, 13. Yeah. And I think, you know what, man, he sat back and he's like, man, I'm going year 13, 32 years old, man, and I, you know, I wanna, I wanna give me a Super bowl maybe. I thought he already had one, though. He didn't win a Super bowl when Tom was there. Yeah, he did.
Joe
All right, so that's why. So that's why right there, brother.
Debo
I don't, that's, you know, I'm like, maybe he wants another one. I don't know, dude. But I don't think it could be the money because he's saying they gave him a strong offer and you decided to go to San Francisco, California, of all places, the taxes, and leave Florida with no taxes, bruh. It, it got to be something way more than just a change of scenery, bruh. Like you have just said, I don't see it being able to be done here. And I want to get back to Chip and I gotta make this move because I'm not going from Florida, no tax to California. They. Hey, dude, they taking, they taking. If you, if you get all 60.4, they taking 30.2 right now.
Joe
Yeah.
Debo
And then they taking an extra 5 or 10. I hear anything else?
Joe
I hear you. I hear you. I, I don't. I think that, man, I don't think he was worried about the taxes. I think he was worried about trying to get. I think he thinks that they, like, he already won a Super bowl with, with, with Tampa, so he don't owe them nothing. And just like, I, I just think it's really just a change of scenery. And I think he Thinks he can go get one out there.
Debo
Exactly. So that means where I'm at.
Joe
So you saying is that a shot at Baker Mayfield or is it shot at the organization?
Debo
I think it's a shot at the whole organization. I mean, when you look at it, I would take it as a whole. Shot at the whole, whole organization as a whole. Because one person ain't gonna win you a championship. Yes, that position is going to help you greatly, as long as they're good at it. But you still need offense, defense, special team. I think he was like, yo, he looked at the whole thing and was like, I don't. I'm not going to California, bro. I might have to just sit there and eat that. It depends how strong the art, man.
Joe
I can't see you are thinking about the taxes. He is thinking about the weather and how there's no. It's not humid out there. He's gonna be relaxing and chilling. And you like this. They're taking your money. I know what you're saying. I'm just letting you know, for a lot of dudes I've been talking to, too, they're 49. Is a San Fran. It's California. It's the weather.
Debo
Hold up now, listen. You over there in San Fran, next to all that.
Joe
Oh, Lord. Next to the. Next to the.
Debo
All that other stuff.
Joe
Next to the messed up facility that's messing up people's knees, okay? See?
Debo
Tearing up ligaments, tendons, all that weakening them. Stop, bro. Come on. And you older like that. I. I ain't making that move, bro. I'm stay right there in Florida with that hot ass.
Joe
Well, no, I ain't gonna lie. If it was you, I know where you're staying. Mike, I'm not mad at him, man. But look, that facility. That facility thing is crazy.
Debo
Yes.
Joe
ACL thing with all of that.
Debo
It's a real thing, man. It's a real thing. MF signals. That's a real thing. I showed you my thing. I showed you my meter and all that. Yeah.
Joe
They need to get real life. All that bread out there in Silicon Valley, they got to move that facility away or something. That's crazy.
Debo
No question, man. Get over here to your boy Kenneth Walker, the third. Yep. Over there with the Chiefs mvp signing over there with the Chiefs. Yo, they spent some bread on him, man. They spent some bread on him. Some bread that they ain't name spent at that position in a while, man. Why you think they did that, brother?
Joe
Because that's what winning teams and championship teams go to do. They don't they need. They think they need a piece. The offense to the running game with Hunt and with Pacheco hasn't been as consistent as it been in the last probably three, four years. So they needed a legit running back. Somebody where Patrick Mahomes back there getting, running around, trying to ad lib all the time. If he could just hand the ball off a couple of times and know, boom, like we can steady the pace, we can steady the ship. I can actually do a play action because they're respecting that Kendall Walker can actually take this joint up the field. So I think that the, the Chiefs are understanding. They have. They ended up signing Travis back, you know what I'm saying? For the 12 incentives up to 15. So got him back, he's solid. Pat's still there. Then they got them a running back. So I think with the Kansas City Chiefs, they just always knowing like we got Pat. Okay, okay. We still got Trav. What we need to do is give him a running game. Don't make Pat be Superman every single time, because he can do it. But then you start getting hurt, start looking crazy, start running around like, let's protect him. And when he got to do it, you know what I'm saying, he'll have to pull it out. But let's not make him do it all the time. So just being able to have that running game behind him where he's chilling sometimes. He just handed it off in 20 yard game. Next thing you know, we're up the field, we're chilling. It's a pace that they can work with now to where he's not just always man, it's second and it's third and 12. Pat, you better scramble, make something happen. Have to avoid dues and do all that. So I think it's just good teams trying to help out their team. They know what they need. They know they were lacking in the run game. Pat needs help there. So just trying to help out their team and get them as good as they can. So with this pick, I like the way they did it because if you're a good team and you know you just need that, go, go pay them maybe a little bit more and get you what you need. So I think they went and got what they needed and that's what, that's what good teams do.
Debo
Yeah, I'm feeling that. They just. What's your boy? I can't say his name right.
Joe
The Pete Pacheco.
Debo
Pacheco. Pacheco was free, I believe in 24. I think he missed all of but what, seven games in 24. Then he missed about three or four this year. And I think they was just like, you know what? We need to. We need to go with something else. We need to go ahead. And he's free on top of that. I said that before. And 25th ranked Russian game. It's like, yo, we just seen this dude, like, basically carry the whole team over here through these playoffs.
Joe
He led the team in Russian a couple of times, bro.
Debo
Hey, like, oh, 5, 25 and young. Young, moving. They say, you know what? Let's go ahead and give him a three for up to. Up to 45.
Joe
Yep.
Debo
15 a year. When it comes down to it, they had to make a move.
Joe
He was doing good too. Cause he was splitting time with Charbonnet. So. Like that wear and tear is not as crazy.
Debo
Yes, but now, see, he might get all these opportunities now. He's bell power.
Joe
Now it's gonna look like it was when. During the playoffs when Charbonnet got hurt. He got all the totes. And you see he was a Super bowl mvp. So he can handle it.
Debo
Oh, yeah, no question. No question about it. Do a threat too. He. He can catch the ball a little bit too, though.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
Oh, he over there with Pat. That's gonna get ugly.
Joe
That's gonna be ugly. And that's what that's like that for them.
Debo
That's gonna be pretty ugly. As long as he ain't playing against us. It's gonna be pretty. Then it's gonna be ugly. If we gotta chase this. Chase this man around, though.
Joe
Yes.
Debo
That ain't gonna. That ain't gonna be good. I'm so happy. I am so happy right now for the Raiders. No, I'm actually more. I'm happy for both of them. I'm happy for the Raiders and I'm happy for the Ravens. I'm happy for the Ravens because they lost somebody that they. They shouldn't. They shouldn't have let go. Okay. What is it, Lindenbaum? Hey, he is going to the Raiders for a historical contract over there. You agreed to a three year, 81 million, brother. Include 60 million in guarantees, and the average value is the most ever for an interior lineman. Bro. I'm so happy for you rat birds because y' all shouldn't have got Crosby. But I feel good that you losing something because when you go and you take something that shouldn't have been yours, you need to lose something. I'm also happy for the Raiders because now they possibly won't be getting their ass. Well, Gino, possibly won't be getting his ass tore out the frame. 64 sack high last year, the highest of all. The man was running for his life. And then when he couldn't run for his life, they was just cutting it short right there. I think the Raiders at that point, they had, what was it, almost 110 million in cap space number one. So they got the bread. I think this might have Tom's hand on. He's like, yeah, we got to go out here. We got to get something to protect these boys. They're going to get a quarterback too, though. I think they're going to get a quarterback. I don't know who it is, man.
Joe
I think they get the number one pick in the draft. They probably going. They gonna get my man from Indiana.
Debo
If they get him, they got. I think it's gonna have to be Tom's approval, man.
Joe
I think Tom might go get him.
Debo
I don't know.
Joe
They got the number one pick. They got a center. They would have somebody to protect them. They got Genty. They got a nice tight end. They got some picks. They got some bread. I mean, if he. If he likes Geno Smith and he thinks that could be the guy for sure. But if they had the number one pick and he thinks Mendoza could be the quarterback, then I mean, definitely have to have Tom's hand on it.
Debo
But I'm thinking Mendoza can come in there and do better than Gino right now.
Joe
I don't know.
Debo
I don't.
Joe
That's. Yes.
Debo
You say yes? Maybe. Why?
Joe
I mean, why? Why? Why not?
Debo
Dude, what's wrong? We got a bad connection. Something because you just doing the stutter again. No. So you telling bruh. You telling me this dude, go come in here and be better than Gino right now? That's crazy, Joe.
Joe
No, he's not.
Debo
He's not.
Joe
He not. But look, what. You know what you're gonna get from Gino, So what you gonna do?
Amber Grimes
You.
Joe
You just gonna be.
Debo
I'm getting a couple more offensive linemen and then worry about the quarterback position a year later down the road or something. Just. I mean, you might have to get smacked a couple more, you know, A year more just so you could make sure you get that number one pick.
Joe
See, that's what I'm saying. You just putting Gino in there to fail.
Debo
Hey, listen, we just. We just. We just gave. We just gave away 99 million to 1 person, man. Somebody got to pay for that across the league.
Joe
That 99 might have to be.
Debo
No, no, no. How much?
Joe
What's Gino's deal. How much longer Gino with?
Debo
I don't know, man. He better. He better get out of there before it be short. You supposed to be the contract man, Joe. Tell me. Hell,
Joe
hold up.
Debo
I want to see. I want to see Mandoza. I want to see what he do for real, man. Because
Joe
me too.
Debo
Especially like with like if he. He going 1, 1, 1, 1.
Joe
Like the Raiders got picks too. They got two first for Crosby.
Debo
So that's one this year, one next year.
Joe
They gonna be all right. I think. I think Tom Brady might got a long term plan with this. Cause you can go get you a high paid center. I have a long term man two for 75 million. April 2025.
Debo
I'm telling you right now, man, you don't make Tom Brady a minority owner if you ain't using every bit of his intelligence and intel that you can. His hand is in everything.
Joe
It for sure is.
Debo
So all that's why I want to say, hey, Thomas, just a. Nah, man. His hands in all that definitely is
Joe
in all of that.
Debo
And he might be fighting Logan Paul because He's scared of Le'Veon. Paul is. He's scared of Levy.
Joe
He definitely.
Debo
He.
Joe
Yeah, that. That Le'Veon not playing got. Le'Veon got information. He has. He has all the receipts ready. You know what I'm saying? He's ready for war. I would love.
Debo
Man, he ducking, duck, duck, goose. That boy over there playing duck, duck, goose with no goose. Just duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck. Le'veon ain't the goose now, Joe. Man, them boys, they say they spent over a billion dollars in 90 minutes. As soon as free agency started this year, they spent over a billion dollars in the first 90 minutes. Blam. Yep.
Joe
That's what happens though, Debo. They got money. Teams got money to spend.
Debo
Hey, 99 count against that billion.
Joe
No, I don't think so. No, because that. That. That contract was already what it was. That's just dead.
Debo
I'm just checking, man. This is dead. They don't even count.
Joe
Imagine did.
Debo
So they kind of lie to you, man. If it wasn't for my love of the game, I could probably take the 160 and be considered.
Joe
Be considered trash.
Debo
Trash. I just. Listen, man, I got my daddy name. I got my daddy name on my back, man.
Joe
Let me tell you this. Let me tell you this. Let me say this. Let me tell you this. After that 160 and everybody was trash all that. I don't have to Be on the Internet. I don't have to be.
Debo
You're going dog.
Joe
I'm going dark. The. I'm just cool with me and my people, like whoever's my homies that got my direct information, we're kicking it. And guess what? We're having a ball doing it. My ball of other people. Tell me I'm sorry. So get out of here. I'll buy you a drink. Get out of here. Kid, you got me messed up. If I'm too. I don't care what these people think. Who are you? Are you paying? Are you gonna keep my lights on? Are you gonna pay? Debo's Wi Fi. No, you're not. So go home, Roger. That's what I tell all of them bums. Straight up. Go home, Roger.
Debo
Oh, man.
Joe
Man, straight up, Debo. Don't let the man call them people, man. Listen, y' all is not. Y' all is not my.
Debo
Listen, I don't know what it is, though. I really. I. I want to say it's probably, but it's not pride. It's. It's. It's.
Joe
It.
Debo
I. I think it's responsibility. I mean, a man, you know. You know, you. You. You get paid to do something. You should. You should do what it is that you get paid to do. And yes, like, you know, and, And. And give them the service that you were supposed to be provide. But I mean, what if they take
Joe
your ball and tell you to go home for a hundred? Then what do you do?
Debo
I can't let you take my ball. I shouldn't have been in that position to get my ball took, Joe. How the hell I get in that position?
Joe
That's your choice. It's not your choice.
Debo
It's their ball. It's their ball.
Joe
They taking your ball and sending you off,
Debo
Joe. I did that, though. You. You can. I can't live with that, Joe. I can't live, Joe. I don't know if I can live with that, Joe.
Joe
See, that's why I'm like, look, I'm gonna just do.
Debo
Do it.
Joe
Do it. Well, if they did that to tour, he doing exactly what he had. He won't. He's gonna go to the team that he. That they.
Debo
That he ain't ducking off in the cut and hiding. He ain't ashamed of this. He going to sign with Atlanta. Hey, man, Joe, you know what, man? It's almost 12:30 something, man. You know what time it is, Joe? Time for play of Fame, presented by Prosper. All right, Joe, man, look here, man. You know Cooked up a lineup for us again right here, man. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm either gonna play what you got there or I'm gonna fade it. What you got here, Joey? Tell me why you got it and I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do with it.
Joe
Okay? Houston versus Toronto. I'm going with. This is just Amen Thompson baller, over 19 and a half, along with Kevin Durant over 19 and a half. These two right here, just easy money, okay? Easy money.
Debo
You know what that red devil mean, huh? You know what that red devil mean?
Joe
That means it's not supposed to be easy money. That means it's supposed to be a little bit harder. But I'm expecting him to get a bucket. Like I'm not putting it there for no reason. Okay, this is all researched. Okay?
Debo
Let's go.
Joe
Victor and Mayana with me on two assists because they beat every time. There's too. There's too much traffic. He's 76 with good vision. He's going to dime off at least two tray ball kickoffs. Okay? Points obviously 23.5. He's standing next to the rim. Boston, they too little for sure. Braun, James, they're playing against. They're playing against the Timberwolves. They. I hope they win. But Braun with four and a half assist. Braun over four and a half assists, obvious bronze. He's a slasher, he's a dimer. Luca scored 40 something the other day and now he's going to have. He's going to have Anthony Edwards in there that he's going against. And Anthony Edwards going to go try to drop 30 some. So Luka's not going to let him out duel him. Luka going to at least drop a 30 ball. So I'm liking all of these to hit for the exact reasons I said.
Debo
I ain't going to lie to you, Joe. The only one I'm tripping on, man, who you tripping?
Joe
You tripping the first one you tripping on. Amen.
Debo
You know what, Joe, man, you got every right.
Joe
You got every right to trip a little bit on that one. That was the most gangster one I pulled off.
Debo
So I'm go with you, Joe. I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play with my homeboy because that's. That's what I do. That's what I do. My guy says go happen. I'm gonna believe in trusting him that it's gonna happen. Okay? So make sure y' all download the app today and use the code Debo Joe.

Debo
Hey, coming to life. Said Butter was crying, was likely gone. Like, that's the other one about likely.
Joe
Likely the tight end.
Debo
She said Atlantis pissed with Tua. I'm in GA and they're going to burn down the stadium with Stefanski and Tua. They're pissed. The only thing they have going for them is that Julio signed for Julio one day to retire.
Joe
Okay, okay.
Debo
We are killing the rat birds. If Tua sneeze, he is inconclusion protocol. Yo, you so wrong.
Joe
Like, hey, Covenant just be throwing out.
Debo
Hey, man, we need to get in Butters. Like, yo, man, I ain't seen you Butter in a minute, man. I. I really ain't want to go and look and then be honest with you just to see. Because I know he was over there talking goofy when they went and got, you know, when they got Carl, you know, Matter of fact, I'mma ask. I'm gonna go ahead and get in this. Getting it, getting, getting this, getting this dm because they, they did lose the best offensive lineman. And now what are you going to do? Hey, Butter, what you gonna do now? Y' all done lost. Y'.
Amber Grimes
All.
Debo
Y' all done, brother.
Joe
They lost this center, they lost their likely, they lost the tight end and they lost their punter.
Debo
Yes, yes. Hey, look here, look here. And y' all still ain't apologized. Ravens old coordinator, you still haven't apologized to Laura Jackson for you.
Joe
You, you say he got apologize to
Debo
that man saying something that was not at him, but it was certainly directed in his direction. You need to apologize. 74 million right now. If I'm him, I want a upfront apology. I want it in person. And I wrote on a letterhead, Lamar, don't let him treat you as if you're a second class citizen. You're Lamar. Jackson MVP multiple times.
Joe
You trying to get him pissed?
Debo
Yes.
Joe
Like, man, people. You eat anybody that serious. But you know what? For them, man, Bump it, Lamar. Do not let this. Do not let this slide. You should.
Debo
I need everything to crash and burn over there. But look here, man. Come to life. Back again. She said, y', all, let me have some bail. What? Oh, let me have some bail is on the chat. That's the nickname. Let me. I thought you were saying Covenant Life. Listen, Covenant. What you were saying right there, I almost. Almost felt like I read something bad.
Joe
I thought you said, I want some bad.
Debo
I'm like, whoa, hold up, hold up.
Joe
Now, hold on.
Debo
Was in the chat. That's for sure.
Joe
Pg.
Debo
She said, yay. She said, y' all know I have a name for everyone, and that's what I would. I would call him. We miss Bell. Yes. We miss you, Bell. Yes. For sure. For sure. I. I thought I said something wrong. I was.
Joe
Because you can't read it. He said, let me have. Let me.
Debo
I didn't know what happened there.
Joe
Let me have some. Let me have something.
Debo
Let me have some mail in my. Is on my. Okay. All right. Okay. At least the hearts is black and gold. If there was red, I might have gotten nervous. I don't know. I was nervous when I said it because I had to stop myself. I was like, yo, am I saying this or is they saying it? I felt kind of weird saying to myself, I just ain't no. I ain't no cutting Life again. Two dollars. Thank you. Oh, we.
Joe
You see that? Liam 9087. Liam 9087. What up, Debo and Joe, what are your thoughts on double mug formations? I think we should be more aggressive to keep offenses from double and triple teaming. TJ and obvious passing situations.
Debo
Wow. How in the hell do you think we're going to stop someone some doubling and triple teaming someone, son.
Joe
And I'm telling you this, darling, I hope they double and triple team them because then that's one on ones or somebody's open. And if we getting three on tj, then Highsmith, darling.
Debo
Huh? That's Liam.
Joe
Oh, that's Liam. Oh, my bad, brother.
Debo
That's why I said son. How do you think we go stop them from doubling, triple teaming somebody? We can't. What we do is make sure somebody else gets the job done. Because if we taking up two and three here, that means another man got a whoop a man. Every man whoop a man. And what. What else? Joe?
Joe
And every good man whooped two.
Debo
Okay. You can't stop nobody from doubling.
Joe
Nobody talking about the double mug looks like when you put the linebackers up on the line, I'm like. But then they could make it look like zero. You know what I'm saying?
Debo
We're not. We're not. We're not built for double looks because of what they done did with the inside linebackers and where they got to get in coverage.
Joe
We're not built for it.
Debo
We used to be able to do that. Not no more. Why, Joe?
Joe
I don't know, Devo. Why?
Debo
Yeah, exactly, man. John. What is that? John? Jonathan Holster. $7115. Yo, Le'Veon. Is. Is Billy Ho tender? What? The foe you used to play Marvels with. All right, we'll let him know. I don't know what that is. You played marvels Is. You mean marbles or marvels? What is Marvels?
Joe
Do you talk about, like, the action? Like, are we talking about Marvel's? Like, Iron man,
Debo
bro? What? No, Iron man back then.
Joe
I'm saying Marvel's, though. That's a Marvel's character.
Debo
Sure. It ain't marbles.
Joe
Marbles.
Debo
I don't know. I don't even know how to play marbles. But I know it's a marbles game. I know it was a play Marvels play with. I hate when y' all do this to me in the chat, man.
Joe
Huh? Got your ass looking like you don't know what's going on.
Debo
Coming to life. Had $2. Said thank you for our guest. Can we get Troy? We could get Troy, but we'll let you know when that happens. We could definitely get Troy. We just don't know when that would be. Maybe
Joe
with some. For a good time. Like, we gotta pick the right time.
Debo
I don't know. Maybe if Logan Paul probably called Troy out to fight him. But
Joe
that's what I'm talking about. That's what? That's. Troy be off the. Off the map.
Debo
Missing.
Joe
Chilling. That's what I would do. Then they give me that 160. Off the map. Debo.
Debo
Hey, for me and my friends. I'm not Joe. I can't. How can you live like that?

Debo
Online. Okay, now you out. You out somewhere, right? And they see you. Yeah. And they start talking to you.

This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Date: March 10, 2026
Hosts: Shannon Sharpe (“Unc”), Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson (“Ocho”)
Guests: Debo & Joe (main discussion, no Ochocinco or Sharpe present in this segment)
This Nightcap episode dives into major NFL offseason moves, mixing sharp player insights and banter. Debo and Joe break down Tua Tagovailoa’s headline-making departure from Miami (and the $99M dead cap hit), Mike Evans’ move from the Buccaneers to the 49ers, and the Chiefs’ big signing of running back Kenneth Walker III. The conversation also touches on deeper subjects, like player legacies versus money, the economics of football, and what makes franchises take enormous risks and losses.

A Surprising Move
