All right, in no particular order, the Giants sign Russell Wilson. Patriots quietly grab Stefon Diggs. Scary, scary time for Dame Lillard and the Bucks out with a blood clot. Oklahoma City is the first team to 60 wins. Ovechkin does it again. He's at 8, 8, 9, and he is 6 from the record. Couple of years ago, we had no Patinos in the Big East. Now we have two. Richard Pitino goes to Xavier and of course, his father at St. John's more than 1,000 players have entered the transfer portal. We'll talk about that coming up. We play in or out a little bit later on. And let me see, anything else? 8 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show. I was on the phone with a source yesterday talking about the Cleveland Browns. And I said, hey, you guys interested in Russell Wilson? He goes, russ just signed with the Giants. I go, okay, so you're not interested in Russell Wilson? It said we were. But And I said, okay, so that means you're taking Shador Sanders. And he goes, everybody is tight lipped about what the Browns are doing. They have the number two pick in the draft. And I was wondering about this. So this is where you get different agendas. The Browns could take Shador Sanders now, once again, don't take a quarterback. Take the quarterback. The quarterback who fits your style, your coaching staff, your system, all of those things. But if you take Shador Sanders now, I got a rookie contract now that eases some of the financial pain from DeShawn Watson's contract. You can let him kind of fade away. He'll never play for you again. And you get Shador Sanders as your quarterback. Now you're also going to pass up on guys who might be wearing a gold jacket when their careers are over. Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter. So you'd be passing up two guys out of this draft where you could probably say, if they play accordingly, according to, you know what, the scouts assess their talents, they'll be hall of Fame caliber players. You don't know that about Cam Warden. You don't know that about Shador Sanders. But then I asked my source. I said, well, what about Kirk Cousins? He said, well, he'd have to be healthy and he's going to cost us a draft pick. And I said, okay, but he's played with step Kevin Stefanski, your head coach before. He's, you know, been with him before. He said, yes. I said, okay, just help me understand this though, because you don't have a quarterback now. I mean, you don't have a true starting quarterback. And I keep feeling and hearing that maybe Kirk Cousins, once the draft is over. And this is what I keep going back to. If you're the Browns, you can get Russ, you can keep him in the division, and then you can decide what you want to do. Maybe you take Abdul Carter, the great edge rusher, out of Penn State, so you get him with Miles Garrett, and then all of a sudden you got something there. But if you don't and you take Shador Sanders, you're not ready to win now. But you still get your quarterback. Quarterback contract, quarterback of the future. Then you have the giant situation. They already brought in Jameis Winston, they had Tommy DeVito. And I kept thinking, okay, now this is where Shador Sanders is going. But I'm not so sure because you brought, you brought in Russ and Jameis Winston, and I'm thinking this coaching staff and this GM have to win. Now, if you bring in Shador Sanders, he might not play. You might have Jameis Winston out there if you didn't bring in Russ. That feels like, you know, they're probably on an eight or nine game schedule. This coaching staff in gm, like they have to be able to win now. They might not like Shador Sanders and maybe they end up with Travis Hunter, maybe they end up with Abdul Carter. Those are great, great players to have that fall into your lap. But that's where I'm wondering about the mindset of the coaching staff in GM. Now obviously John Mayer, the owner of the Giants, can see through this. Who's the best guy to take. Who helps us big picture? Not necessarily right now, because you're not right now, not in that division, but you have a coaching staff that better win, they better have a 7 and 2 record, 6 and 3 record. It feels like after nine games or if they have a three win, they're 3 and 6 after nine. Do you keep them? And I think their timeframe is we got to get somebody who can help us win now. James Winston, Russell Wilson, one year deals, no real long term commitments there. We're good. Maybe we don't like the other quarterback or other quarterbacks in the draft. Maybe we try to get Jackson Dart a little later on. Maybe Jalen Milroe out of Alabama. So I was, I was all over my source, just trying to get some kind of information on what's going on with Cleveland and I couldn't get it. Didn't know if they were sold on Shador. I didn't know if that's the place that he went to and he interviewed and the quarterbacks coach thought he was arrogant. I, you know, because does Dion want his son to go to the Cleveland Browns? And I wondered about that as well. I keep thinking New York because it feels like Shador. If he goes to New York, he already walks in. He's got a really good wide receiver there and he's billed for this. I go all of the players. If you're built for the media capital, if you're built for a spotlight, it would be Shador Sanders. His dad welcomed the spotlight. Shador seems to welcome the spotlight as well and doesn't always work out. I go back with baseball and I remember Greg Maddox didn't want to play in New York. Remember Ed Whitson, pitcher? He wanted out of New York. Zach Wilson, New York felt too big for him. Eli Manning was ready for it. His personality made him ready for New York. You know, Aaron Rodgers, he welcomed it. It's just his Achilles didn't and Even then, there was still thought that maybe he would end up with the Giants because he didn't want to leave New York. He loved going to the Rangers games, get standing ovation, going to the Knicks games. Like you go to New York, you better embrace it. If not, it'll steamroll you. But that's when I thought, with Shador Sanders, he's ready for New York if he's the right quarterback for you, which I still don't know. Cam Ward is a really good quarterback, but he's not a really good quarterback in the bigger picture of quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Because when we talk to draft analysts, they talk about. Cam Ward would be. Would have been the fifth or sixth quarterback taken last year. Okay, Matt Miller, great job at the mothership. He said that recently. I mean, that's not a knock on him. He's still. He's just the best quarterback now. It's timing when you come out, who are the other quarterbacks who are coming out? And he's the best quarterback this year. But he separated himself, it feels like, from Shador Sanders. So that, that was going on yesterday afternoon, and I kept thinking, I just spent 45 minutes talking to my source, and I didn't get anything out of it. I was like, dang, I got to get. I have to ask better questions. And I usually do pretty good asking questions. I couldn't get anything. Tight lipped. That's what I was told. Yep. Browns tight lipped on what they're doing at number two. Come on. Maybe they don't know. Maybe that's why they're the Cleveland Browns.
