Good discussion here. I think an important part of what Mina’s getting at is that you won’t get out what you didn’t ask, and often when you’re doing research or prep, you find the key question isn’t the one you started with.
I’ll check this out!!

Excuse me
Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...
While I am plugging appearances on other people’s pods—also had a chance to go on Kylie Kelce’s show this week and had such a nice time talking Birds, mom stuff, my anti reclining stance etc. She really is the best!

If you aren't already following @jourdanrodrigue.bsky.social rectify that immediately. Her deep dives are fantastic and so well reported.
They gotta be eating some of his contract….right?
This is a very good deal for Chicago.
It’s not the “combine” folks are citing as cause for concern. It’s the lack of historical precedent.
I believe it! Along these lines I think the wide variance in utility/potential across sectors is what makes this such a hot button issue. Everyone is speaking to their experience and it’s so wide ranging.
Rueben Bain Jr is a great tape vs measurables test. Which do you trust more?

We are in different industries. Simply not the case for writing and communicating with numbers the way I do. It’s important for me to outline, play with different structures, look at databases, etc.
Full discussion here in which we discuss whether any of this is useful in our fields, and I question whether anyone is actually paying for any of this 😭 youtu.be/dUFcJdVQOjs?...
On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming process—which LLMs mostly eliminate, imo—is fundamental to doing *good* work.
At least five minutes of Friday’s episode will be devoted to this. Maybe more
We're only a year removed from this with Kyler
Both @danpizzuta.bsky.social and I agree: Kyler Murray on a minimum contract is a hell of a bargain, in part bc his upside remains high…and his floor isn’t as low as it’s been portrayed.

Pats should take multiple shots at WR in free agency. As I’ve discussed on the pod, a great Pierce destination.
(Shockingly, he does not give any info on whether he wants to keep playing and where)
“I never really wanted to live a public life” - Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show one week before free agency
Daniel Jones (potentially) doing this twice to two different teams is so funny. Good for him!

Yea search here is unfortunately brutal
New project I’m excited about: a model that forecasts free agent contracts based primarily on media rankings.
The model utilizes rankings from ESPN (Matt Bowen), NFL.com (@greggrosenthal.bsky.social), the Athletic (Daniel Popper) and PFF.
I don’t think it’s wrong to say Twitter circa 2012-18ish was useful for finding info. Now search sucks everywhere :(
Just saw the Chiefs are getting a first *and* a third in 2027. That’s a solid return.
The Rams have two first-round picks after trading down in last year's draft, and having come bitterly close to making it back to the Super Bowl this past season, GM Les Snead has to be thinking about what he can do to get his organization over the top. Matthew Stafford just turned 38, and though he's coming off an MVP campaign, the Rams don't know when their veteran quarterback will call it quits. Loading up to try to build a title-winner while Stafford is still slinging makes sense. Their biggest weakness is at cornerback, a position Snead has tried to address via trades for young stars in the past. The Rams sent second- and fourth-round picks to the Chiefs for Marcus Peters, and though that didn't work out, Snead followed up by sending two first-round picks to the Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey. That one did. I'm not sure there's a cornerback available worth that sort of haul, but would the Rams use one of their first-rounders to get an immediate difference-maker? McDuffie fits that bill as a feisty, aggressive cornerback with the ability to play near the line of scrimmage. The Rams have spent at one of the league's lowest rates over the past two years on defense, and they would have no trouble absorbing a potential extension for McDuffie, let alone his $13.6 million fifth-year option in 2026. McDuffie might be best in the slot, where the Rams use Quentin Lake, but he's plenty effective as an outside cornerback, too.
Why would the Chiefs, who also expect to compete for a Super Bowl, trade McDuffie? Well, Brett Veach hasn't been too interested in paying cornerbacks during his time as general manager. The Chiefs traded Peters after three seasons, one year removed from a first-team All-Pro nod. They developed L'Jarius Sneed into a standout, but at the end of his rookie deal, they franchise-tagged him and traded him to the Titans for a third-round pick. McDuffie is better than Peters or Sneed, but if the Chiefs aren't planning on extending their top corner, getting something significant for him now makes more sense than losing him in free agency for nothing more than a 2028 compensatory pick. In acquiring the No. 29 selection, the Chiefs would have three of the top-40 picks in this year's draft, which would give them the ability to add multiple rookie contributors and/or move around for specific players. I'd rather see the Chiefs give an extension to one of their best players, but until Veach pays a cornerback top-tier money, I'm not counting on that to occur. The Chiefs have spent just $112.2 million in cash at cornerback since the start of 2018, the third-lowest total for any team over that span. And it's scary to think about trading a sure thing for nothing more than draft capital but remember that the Chiefs initially landed McDuffie by moving up with some of the picks they got from Miami in the Tyreek Hill trade.
Pitched Trent McDuffie to the Rams in the trade proposals column from last month. Logical decision for both sides given their history
