NFL League Meetings Day 2: Deshaun Watson's Fresh Start + A.J. Brown to Patriots?
Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are back for Day 2 of the annual NFL league meetings reacting to the latest news and quotes from Phoenix, Arizona. First, we tour through the latest NFL head coaches photo before providing an update on why Browns coach Todd Monken missed the picture. Eagles GM Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni insist that WR AJ Brown is currently on the Eagles, which is true, but that doesn't mean much going forward, especially when Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is still talking about "upgrading the roster." Monken and Browns owner Jimmy Haslem have given QB Deshaun Watson a fresh start, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sees long-term plans with WR George Pickens, and we react to more notable quotes. Then, the heroes square off head to head in a battle of guessing team win totals for 2026. 0:00 NFL Anual Meetings Day 2 3:09 Coaches Photo 12:49 NFL Rule Changes 22:28 A.J.

JSN Gets Paid + NFL Flag Football Meltdown
Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are joined by Conor Orr to catch up on all the latest NFL happenings from over the weekend! We are exactly one month away from the draft, so we cover some draft buzz before looking at the top free agents still on the market. After the break, we dive into the news: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is now the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver, while an extension for Puka Nacua appears to still be a ways away. The NFL players who competed in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic we're absolutely embarrassed, and we love that. Finally, Cam Skattebo is in the news for the wrong reasons, Caleb Williams wants to capitalize on his nickname, and the Browns have a new rule proposal. 0:00 One Month Until NFL Draft 7:37 Media Minute 11:43 Alabama QB Ty Simpson 20:28 Best Available Free Agents 24:02 Backup QB Corner 30:01 Jaxon Smith-Njigba Gets Paid 35:47 Fanatics Flag Football Classic 50:10 Voicemail 52:18 Cam Skattebo’s Comments 56:51 Caleb “Iceman” Williams 1:01:38 Quiet Storm Crisis Management 1:04:10 Wrap Up --------- Shop HTC merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.heedthecallpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the Heed the Call Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/heedthecall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the #48.4 movement by subscribing to the Heed the Call YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@heedthecallpod⁠⁠⁠⁠ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
