Adam Schefter, ESPN

Since ESPN's -- chapters been sitting around all week along do enough that nobody talking to nobody asking and -- thing not to doing and reporting. We thought we'd shake the cobwebs off -- show after Nevada -- some AT&T outline. AT&T about a 3 G experience good morning Adam do you feel lonely left out of all this we can process.

Not so good job Gerri -- weren't you guys are reporting that just roll it along and keep them busy. Spain that it would free agency and open that -- more news that.

I know they tell us something we don't know you're always good at that Adam tell -- something we don't know. 00.

Well it. You know it would be -- under way. And any.

How about this how interested are the bills and Seahawks and Tebow.

That I don't buy that know that now are stretched that lead but. I've gone Leigh -- gone from major it's.

I wouldn't say that either don't have I don't think I don't think he's going at it all no no way you know I don't know that. They're likely to keep him but I -- say using used to let values having -- with Gary Kubiak. I think you're gonna still alive on the Tony that they are likely to land him but they're still in the picture. And until he has an Obama look at ninety Houston or new England. And I would imagine we'll get an entry here. Relatively short girl last year B button dragged its feet in free agency so -- busier this year.

you understand the vagaries of all what's going on as well or better than than anybody. And we're reluctant to jump in the -- feet make all these proclamations because we don't know exactly what the best order businesses. -- uncapped year with you know of a labor stoppage in a looming on the horizon. Are there various philosophical approach is the teams can and should take. For their individual organizations and what do you think that would be as applies to the knowing the patriots.

Well I think that again I think seventeen to being careful not to look at the continued -- continue to hear that. Some teams are. Looking ahead towards 2011. Went next year's reading class. Was to be very very good and very strong and that's. Interesting because you may get the floodgates opened once they get in new collective bargaining agreement right now there's not -- place -- as. Certainly affected issues region market with far more restrictive reagents or -- quality on restricted reagents. And we saw the first they would -- active but I think to drop off from there was a bit -- and there's not a whole lot of players right now that work. Looking overseeing all I wonder who's gonna get -- body and the meeting ID -- there's now like guys that they like that.

We'll tell us who's gonna get Brandon Marshall Adam.

this thing situation here because he was in Seattle over the weekend group meeting with them and obviously you want to get Katie what's new contract and he'd look in Seattle at two number ones in. Some people suggested the broccoli to be open to negotiating Norton utilities and having spoken to people on the Broncos organization. They tendered him I don't want. Okay this is there feel. It -- an award at the rate it tendered a little one. -- tendered him at a one per region. They felt like anybody want decide Brandon Marshall to offer sheet they get there want and they're not interest in talking about it. And if nobody wants to get the reward and are happy. And I mean this to take back Brandon Marshall template that came next year so Seattle what the par with a number one. Devers several make that deal and do you want to make that deal. This York art it's -- to the other one out in the interim. Maybe -- not in shouldn't parting with a six overall pick but other teams are discussing. Brandon Marshall and so -- certain aspects. Somebody wrote something oh. Adam shipped were saying this because he's trying to create more leverage with the amber. Look let me be very clear about this that tried to create leverage for anybody -- reporting the facts and the facts are that the dangles. Have talked about Brandon Marshall the facts are that the Bengals are going to make a move with the wide receiver position but that sort of thing was at. Reached out to Brandon Marshall on the facts are that the bank most waterside Brandon Marshall put off treatment I'm not seeing they're going to whether or not going to. But if they still the Broncos have seven days to match or get back the bank would know more picks pick that's that those effects that now leverage. --

Based on Brandon marshall's track record Adam Mendelsohn like a perfect landing spot for him. How much of those conversations and you just that a number of teams are having conversations about Brandon Marshall. How how how much of that conversation is devoted to or centered on. His rap sheet is off the field antics is on the field that fixed the problem -- that he has been from time to time.

Oh play because if you're gonna invest the -- it's gonna take decide Brandon Marshall and give up your number one pick and complicated game and the Broncos. You better be really sure that that's something you're comfortable with and -- these quit because if you're not and you can't -- making them move but. Again. Ultimately Seattle may decide to part with the number one pick Brandon Marshall it might not since that it might decide if it might not. I don't know that there's another team out their that would be willing.

Artistic and what about the steam which desperately needs Ers receiver. Narrowing the patriots have the 22. Pick. Do you think that they would give that up for Brandon Marshall and would Josh McDaniels and Bill Belichick will will they do business.

I have not heard Brandon marshall's name mentioned in New England now. To me you look at it and there's something about it that makes sense but here's Beckham back to. It is just doled out big money -- it will -- right they're tried they've resigned totally Banta-Cain the try to get the lead but. They're try to get other people they're gonna -- Tom Brady at some point this subsidies and are you gonna take. -- Wilfork the fifty million dollar deal Brady to a hundred million dollar deal and Brandon Marshall to another 5067 million dollar deal whatever that number is. I mean. I don't think the -- and I just don't condone.

So you think their overall strategy might be to fill all the holes they have in the draft with the draft.

I think their options are limited where else are you going to go it's not as if this crop of free agent offers a part of answered --

Where they in on the -- Anquan Bolden. Negotiate -- discussions. Where did they make a bid to them make a run at him.

They were there were involved they they had some discussions it it never ultimately got serious what. Like any team doing its utility and she sniffed around he makes some cold the ravens. At one point did speak to the patriots. That they go on. I don't think it went very far but. It happened and it would be irresponsible had it not happen and doing -- part not to look into a deal like that.

What what's left of them for pass rush as we know vanden Bosch is gone in and -- Who just went to -- that candidate got their encampment where it got peppers. Are gone Ayman -- get to the quarterback still out there.

Not that I can -- now there may be some linebacker some young defense and then you look at it and say boy this got this guy's pretty good. But you -- analyst of reagents. And I just don't see it am I just don't see. That other pass -- You you could venture into free agency machine reputable work through Shawne Merriman. You're not gonna give up competition that they get Tony Brown. At attention from the deep into tech I don't -- a booming days of creation -- considered him. In -- and Connecticut market published in the -- Tyler Brayton for the Panthers music and a guide you talked about. And I don't know they get anybody terribly excited -- report still out there he can abuse the card or not there's that -- yeah that would be interesting right.

Too important to -- is -- talent -- MB. The practice -- to bring in Josh Reed of Maria little discussion today how much does he have left in the tank company there of their wide receiver problems would he Saul. In your estimation.

Well I think that the patriots have always liked him and he's always been a -- receiver I think quote Josh Reed would deal. Is. They expect -- welcome back but. My understanding is what he's not gonna be ready mr. camp -- Iowa what -- Wes -- is Wes -- Josh -- Is it is about as good replacement bodies back for the US well. But they'll be hit it in steam plus they -- need receivers need to make symbol is there any -- Fossum better so that's one that would make some sense to.

It would teams bring in the Galloway is in the bills thomas' and they don't work out. Is it only human nature that that affects their next foray and tipping their toe into the freeagent upon. Or order they try to put them behind and say elect elect a three point shooter I missed the last three and at the next thirteen.

I guess you know. I use different out -- You know in the dating world you know way if it's warm and keep going for bad was it and they learned they keep going back to that yeah -- of making golfer -- blondes and -- You know he's he's game open and keep offered to -- change and are sometimes it's it's what can go back to you I think it'll learn from it and -- grown men they realize certain things and I think that. My guess would be that the -- to be a little apprehensive about signing veteran wide receiver -- It to move forward I think that they be. A little. Reluctant to do something like that I was in that.

Without a salary cap -- salary floor how many teams Panama in the 32 you think will. Take this opportunity to spend more than they normally would nominee will take the chance. To spend less.

I I think the only team that will spend more. The only one watching British got a best.

About a Redskins don't railways and Haley spent more in the cab when the.

How about all that where where where -- what after -- contest regency which typically -- opening week it is is the most. Like -- explosive time and the Washington Redskins Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles so far have signed -- sixty -- for Minnesota.

Well so the bears go over the cap and everyone else goes under the floor.

Well I -- over the cap there they doled out of hard over a hundred million dollars for the contract and Julius Peppers Chester Taylor and Brandon. Alum Molly you know. Which by the way first and I've gotten up for negotiation read through reading my. So they expect a lot of money but they don't have a first traffic that are the second epic. And so it's a situation where they spent and they spent a lot. They were in my mind. The only team that spent more than they probably would. In an audio -- I don't believe relation to what is a cap no cap. I think the bottom line is every team in the league is being very careful. About the dollars that they dole out and --

The jets really give you Cromartie money to pay off all his baby -- main. Doesn't that seem like the definition of enabling -- I think -- it will take care all that child support you just concentrate on football here big Fella.

election I don't know the particulars that situation but my guess should be in this sometimes happens is. A team to advance. A player money at a salary so but just entered -- Marty didn't make. To have million dollars this year have no idea what the number history. Sometimes in the administrations -- it would be mute ants. Trip like this here's 500 dollars. That would not -- this season. If that's indeed the case I -- it over the particulars of that -- by speaking at a term.

500 dollars wouldn't buy diapers a couple of trying to -- all well and -- is that finally invited game maybe you don't.

Let alone the putter on the particulars of this one either but just how much trouble is Ben Roethlisberger Ian from what you can tell. Well.

I I don't like this out developed say that I don't know anybody could and I don't know the particulars of the case. But my understanding is they're they're they may have some keep a bit. And at this tape that and it's true.

You. -- yeah. It's -- speaking of trouble has TO burned all the bridges atom or. Still several teams out there who care so little about their quarterback that might bring him --

What Cincinnati discussed it and -- that a priority with them yeah -- of other options. But he is on the bing was radar. They were pursuing Kevin Walter that didn't get done -- used -- They won't know. That the EU wide receivers and kind of receiver to team up with Chad Ochocinco. As -- he'll remain very option that says Antonio Bryant as does Brandon Marshall. So it's a question what that team is gonna deal. And outside of Cincinnati I don't know. Of another option that you have brought forward to spot but look more signs Stallworth and trader for bald and in that ships sail so. These options are at best limited. And right now. There may be another key motives and that is very possible. I don't know. But Ellis sit LSU -- athletic -- can -- nowhere so there always seems to be eighteen lurking when you least expect I I don't. -- I don't know that is right now but but I wouldn't rule it out.

I just -- what the Bengals a litmus test is for these kinds of things admit they're willing and ready and able to consider. You Brandon Marshall drones as is second -- truth is not available you know they checked in of that.

Verisign Matt Jones in a broader -- meant.

You know you bring in Matt chose to advance a money for cocaine at that at the Adam digit budget we -- happy the blind side won more of these one award and we would you rank and all time football movies. --

I alt a football -- well first and foremost. I I tried not to see sports music is again it's so much in real life and and usage of perception that. It doesn't usually measure up now. When we took about good. Football movies to me remember that I.

As number one analyst. Right like. That's. Brian's song that's up. Right so. The first longer issue on his way up there the last that the remake his weight down. -- and the first woman. In spite of you in spite of yeah I does that trouble by an Adam at Adam Sandler and and and chapter and Sandler as the MVP of the NFL. And Burt Reynolds Capuano.

My my number one football -- maybe the best of all. That I don't know -- qualifies bewildering I think Jerry Maguire.

The list of all -- cute little romantic comedy but you can't and let's remember the titans.

I would say the worst football movie the worst -- ever seen or -- I I it's worked from will be in my life that I got up and walked out feeling like that it. I just couldn't take anymore.

Guests are unnecessary roughness with Kathy Ireland is now. -- All right I'm sure -- it is calling keep your seat warm out umbrage at the time of the busy busy period for you talked it down the road. Thanks so out of Russia after from ESP and joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T a better three G experience.
