Adam Schefter

" Fourth and final -- doesn't Callahan on our first Monday back in Boston after ten days and weeks in Fort Myers, Florida. Answers to all these questions -- the last three hours and who better to help us with that no one no one -- with that than our friends from the NFL network -- show after it's dialing figure worn down the nub -- morning."

" You don't -- The truth of the matter is a couple of times not like -- wanted to switch this weekend and it would -- they called -- technician just there's like two might get downstairs just like a quarterback being injured during the Super -- get him down do you get that black person except look at it don't."

" The the olympics. We need to know Adam is the is the -- cam on right now we on TV. Yeah I did tonight I was impressed 5:30 AM I didn't know you slept -- that mean you why we sold."

" You want you want to know the truth I swear to you I. I look up both days about 4:30 in the morning I actually slept. You know a couple of hours -- through a couple of deals to this day still rankles me because just plain dealer at -- blackberry at best -- 30 AM on. Friday morning and had to just stood still my blackberry. And 4 AM on Saturday morning and I I don't walk a couple of hours at each missed on the."

" I was impressed though all the guys defer to you they looked at you with like -- back awe and respect in their eyes. No and friend Charles in in in in Denver Mariucci those guys are look at you like. Oh man this guy who worked so hard information pipelines. Don't call me like that that the -- know let what you -- say about any late word on the moss in the patriot deal."

" Well they're close they're definitely close there's been an offer from the patriots I think that they feel like it's gonna get done I think that Randy still is trying to. Floated out they're just to see if there is any other interest to draw anything else to see is the entire Marcus flushed -- and I think at some point he -- don't know and that's just. My expectations are believed they keep taking hits -- lose. Renegade in New Orleans used Donte' Stallworth to Cleveland was -- Samuels really. Eugene Wilson in Tampa today honest with the Pittsburgh possibly Tennessee. There are a lot of players it was people forget that right before the start of free agency the release Kyle Brady -- to me that's significant released beat up blocker."

" Yeah that's a lot of people. It is a lot of people and I mean it -- But this thing Adam is he were all waiting on on pins and needles for the most decision -- days. They still have the best NFL best. Offense in the NFL Moscow is they don't."

" I'd agree -- you know what -- deployed to produce though that is long is. Mr. Belichick can mr. Brady there is. -- a colleague Michael Lombardi pointer that we can everything is just fine in the road and went on and don't forget also that -- taken it. People forget to third round takes one also from Oakland agitated. Get enough in Randy Moss they got Oakland's third round pick for third round the last you're so take Mario Henderson."

" me this why after one minute after midnight. Did a number of teams have gulf stream lined up on tarmac going to get guys and great command and throw on buckets -- cash at their feet. And yet we have not heard of a single other entity. Being highly interest in Randy Moss who by almost anyone's account is the preeminent free agent pitchers market."

" Well you know what it's it's an odd thing and to me I was convinced that there was a deal that was in place that was struck -- more privileged go to -- more conventional -- if it's not done now I I guess I do think it's absolutely close I do they don't get done. It's an odd thing it's not think I think that other teams. Will probably psyched out to. Psyched out -- that they could not get him. They -- that the deal is don't know England he'd be too expensive it is when adored -- and a great empire with a great coach a great quarterback like you know lead. And I think that you talked about."

" So why now it appears that the didn't have a deal in place mistaken two days and three days may be and a four days they aren't coming out of the woodwork and and -- went with with the Minnesota Vikings have given him Bernard Berrian money for crying out loud."

" To me either not changed its wide receiver he's out ready to be selective about the team if you were to -- two -- two or three possibilities period Green -- would be one. Dallas should be another you have to have a good quarterback yet to have a winning environment yet to be willing to pay him."

" What do -- leads no that's the slight chance very slight chance in the news who. Could the patriots get to replace them is Chad Johnson available is Larry Fitzgerald acquire rubble here and always got a huge contract."

" Well it all of this -- hey if you believe and we and we go recognizes there's a small chance that that happens there's very small but it it. It was just tell -- what what did okay ready Ross stepped adore -- got. Great question. Because three years. They never had eight top flight wide receiver Troy -- been solid reliable role for a long artistic great player. But I don't know do you look at him as a top flight received. Okay and I have all the respect in the -- for his abilities Hispanic category. What do you do you're doing and it's a good. It's a good. Questioned by the way Big Ben Roethlisberger started to expect -- deal yeah that that is confirms that has confirmed so anyway what do you do I think -- at that point. It's not a patriot -- a trade for Chad Johnson is -- it -- trade for Larry Fitzgerald do you see that I mean. To meet Larry -- not to be traded from Arizona days they've been tried to restructure the contracts -- dictator situation could they get it done then. At that particular point time it -- it's going to be happy and it's important association. T. J. Houshmandzadeh -- community -- Johnson's gonna be happy so again. It their submission I don't know where New England turned still if Randy Moss by the small chance that he doesn't --"

" Adam clearly when Randy Moss at the free agent market of one minute after midnight there was not a deal in place that most people suspect at least. Money specific deal that years and guarantees and money my guess is instead -- correct me if I'm wrong they looked at each other it's -- you do right by me I'll do right by you you don't franchise me will make it will work got to deal here that works for both sides that's out about right if -- yes that is yes where then did the snag him."

" I don't I don't know whatever happened I just think every expectation on both sides that New England think he's not a damn. He figured that they -- to him and it and you go from there I can meet exit bigger stick. I just think that somehow I noticed a great I think. Maybe between them for them to sweeten the deal. It never happens I think get a little disillusioned that that Torre EEP is to have wanderlust or wandering -- And that's to deal I think it has more -- that."

" And hitting it as a lot to do with guaranteed years like 234 years down the road versus money in the first couple of years. I don't ask. As a do you think -- in that more abrupt. The the sticking -- at this point is problem is is more with guaranteed years they don't want to get a ball -- Randy Moss are."

" I think that. I don't think better I think I think it's it's about my ticket Randy gave them what you -- to be at this cal last year. I think he does it feel like he's doing it again this year that's that's the bigger -- Last year we get a steal and you know -- He he took less than market value complex is important to go play -- environmental. And I think basically what you're looking -- want to make sure that he it is just for money now."

" Where you were you surprised they didn't franchise him."

" Yes I was actually -- that they what I really did I mean that to -- was surprised but there are people who sit oh that would that would have said they were. To me it's doing business you don't want you gotta make sure that your best players don't we going to Seattle to transition tag on. Street markets and a couple years ago and it wouldn't want kept the door sport business disenfranchised and they get cute."

" Well you know Belichick he's always get so emotional sentiment the falls in love with guys -- is the way he has it's got to learn to be more. Holden and hard and when he makes decisions."

" I guess I guess I guess it took me it's Randy -- leaves. That's a blow a big blow."

" didn't hear again only this what do you believe in Miami Parcells says is Jason Taylor is not on the he's going nowhere do you think. He is a -- do you think he is on the market is he available. For someone and could Belichick Belichick a Parcells their buddies again you know -- tight."

" I doubt that. I doubt that -- that that would surprise me if they were tied again but we're noted it may be -- their relation is better than los. At one point is good -- just -- and my guess is they'd better but -- world -- But again I'm not it. So -- you here to figure everything out I don't think what you looked out Jason Taylor to me in a situation where. Braves -- march 3 that don't exist okay there basically. Lately situation executive issue which is to say it got better tires why wouldn't say anything different. Okay now all week before the draft I want to hear him say that again is -- to -- a second round pick. I think he's acquire -- I think he's evidently acquire double put it doesn't make any -- at dolphins to -- say that. There are three options street magician tailors had to go back to Miami is going to retire and try to. It's pretty clear I think ultimately would all sit down I think he gets traded. On or right before the draft first second or third round --"

" It's funny Parcells has flat out we're not trading sure can't. We know him we you know well enough to -- the right to change in my means right now I think it means a hit as he decided from your sources Adam what is going to do with the quarterback situation is back in or out and -- is out does that mean Matt Ryan gets the number one pick."

" What they saw Josh McCown over the weekend you know years six point two sideline dollars and just mechanic I started in this league so. At the very least it gives them options okay. If they ultimately decide that Matt Ryan is not a guy about a late Matt -- you guys did a great job respect -- a great kid great -- And if they decided he's the guy to making government for the future but. They now a veteran to play stately young -- place and they decided this is not the year to go to one of those quarterbacks they can sit back and wait. I think they can afford to do that that's what -- bought this weekend which Josh -- Now just we took -- collided at the lead to last now but it'd decent quarterback in -- he's okay serviceable and I think. With all the money they spent needed they've begun to overhaul their roster and there are a bidding war right now with the jets Calvin pace -- with the money comes in on this deal. Linebacker Arizona is -- pitcher. And the -- interest. Going to be the highest priced free agent left on the market including Randy Moss. And he's going to command huge dollars and I think that bidding warships -- here -- day tomorrow. -- Boy they've really really -- that -- it's completely."

" AM to three quarterbacks and -- to list them 12 and three is in terms of most likely downed at least likely to flip the page respect here. Ty Law Lito Sheppard Jason Webster. In order. Yeah most likely most likely."

" I think chip I quite -- I think I passivity exact order they used it logically there that you did you know. I think I -- I almost expect I'll -- wind up there. I think that Lito Sheppard is an absolute viable possibility that he just taking phone calls there're two teams -- stayed six years old he -- to Robles and he's got four years left in his contract that tickets at the -- a new contract so. He got some issues there -- you want to look at it but he had good quarterback. And he's going to get traded I think so the question is where Jason Webster that's the first I've heard his name so like I put him last which eliminated they maybe don't jump. David -- Ty Law I think we'll wind up their ultimately and and would not surprise championship."

" Does anybody think Ty -- a starting shut down every day quarterback in the NFL still."

" I know that you don't I don't need to be dead that system that's not what they cast their -- to do I don't think and I think with what they do we didn't -- that system. I think he'd be great but I really don't know he's not -- he's not but you know what they do enough defensively in this market. Offensively to know how to cover that up and get -- it was."

" A -- Tommy Kelly walked in -- bedroom right now and I pulled the covers off your -- would you would you recognize and you would Joey was."

" That to me. Is a story that was the most unexpected that is the one that created the biggest reverberations ripples and it will be felt all the way through the coming season because every -- attack on the National Football League. Now once in new deal -- Oakland's roster itself. Derrick Burgess has been demanding new deal for the raiders for what two years at least a year maybe -- There adapt to a defensive tackle -- people part of either one -- sands and Tommy Kelly were being cutting -- and derrick Burgess problem there. He's such tackle solar at least between Robertson to market struck out two Corey Williams Shaun Rogers -- these guys which traded. A lot of respect -- they want new deals like Tom Kelly. Gary and the rest it needed to tackles like it's a Wilfork like anybody else could think of what -- think. There order -- top of Tom Kelly is making double triple sport types much I have."

" We have two sacks and one. ACL repaired."

" That sounds accurate and and and there's more trust -- it is more baggage but. I think it was eight stunning signing I got one email back from the GM that said this is nuts -- fifteen exclamation point yet that."

" And star candidate but all the summation points and then --"

" I had capped a 123 foot putt at fifteen exclamation points and got a tight almost as many as -- million dollars he got guaranteed money eighteen point one million dollars."

" Wonder no wonder Randy Moss is having second thoughts."

" Up and -- much -- to go back open where they're giving away money."

" Yeah I'm sure he does say -- let's let's leave you this question we need a prediction from you I assume you think. If you're a betting man Randy Moss will be with the patriots next year what we need to know in your estimation number of years. Guaranteed money and total package that -- ultimately get from the patriots."

" I -- over the weekend it's very simple very simple. Terrell -- two years ago -- 25 million dollars or three years salary caps instead interest of 14%. Tech got 14% sitio deal it's three years 28 point five my dollars I did deal right now."

" Three years the eight million dollars and nobody eight point 514 perspective but I'll gems are among those because you're -- and the guarantee Derrek Lee 120 million dollars --"

" Let's just say for argument -- look -- nine dollars guaranteed."

" That's that's less Denver Bernard Berrian."

" You know like that that's okay you know Minnesota was desperate. And two -- and has had them right -- them because they lost that I just spit. And the reason that the not -- gallery it was because Oakland was trying to bring in there and minister to lost and -- just -- double whammy there."

" Alyssa do you sell futures said that Randy Moss should. Sign here for less than Tommy Kelly got no."

" Well about yeah. Well I'm not very it was a six year deal which sixteen million Randy Moss has to -- cast the light of that went more than double. More than -- deciding so to speak. It's under the deal I get in the -- on the -- right now hit three years 28 by ten million dollars you know it's fair I don't care which is doing right now."

" We've we've set a record gets. -- Thanks Adam always applies especially the day like the stock -- I'd like black grizzled up Adams after with the NFL network -- ago"
