With the NFL's legal tampering period set to begin Monday, Connor Hughes joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to preview what could be a wild start to free agency across the league. The conversation quickly turns to the biggest question facing the New York Jets: who will be their quarterback in 2026? Connor breaks down the team's wide-open approach at the position, why they haven't ruled out Kyler Murray, and why he personally believes signing the former Pro Bowler could be a disaster despite the talent and bargain price tag. The guys also discuss how new head coach Aaron Glenn wants a culture-first quarterback, what kind of influence offensive coordinator Frank Reich will have in the decision, and why a name like Tanner McKee might actually make more sense for the Jets' long-term plan. Plus, Connor shares insight into what the New York Giants could do in free agency, potential roster turnover, their interest in running backs, and why the team has zero intention of trading star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence despite speculation. From quarterback uncertainty to a franchise trying to reset its identity, this deep dive sets the stage for a massive week across the NFL.

With the NFL legal tampering period just days away, Connor Hughes joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to break down what could be a pivotal week for the New York Jets. The biggest question facing the franchise remains quarterback. Are the Jets seriously considering Kyler Murray if he becomes available? Connor explains why the team hasn't ruled anyone out, how new head coach Aaron Glenn is approaching the position, and why Murray's talent might not match the culture the Jets are trying to build. The discussion also dives into the Jets' broader strategy at QB. Instead of chasing a splashy move, the team may opt for a more practical approach: bringing in veteran options while drafting a developmental quarterback later in the draft. Connor outlines why someone like Tanner McKee could make sense, how much influence offensive coordinator Frank Reich will have on the decision, and why there simply may not be a perfect solution this offseason. It's a brutally honest look at the Jets' quarterback dilemma and why the franchise may be forced to kick the can down the road one more year as they search for their long term answer.

After Jermaine Johnson was dealt, rumors swirl that Kayvon Thibodeaux could be next. Shaun and Tiki react to Connor Hughes' report from the Combine, debating whether Kayvon is truly expendable or still a crucial piece of a dominant pass-rush rotation. They discuss his production drop, injury concerns, draft expectations, and why great Giants defenses always featured waves of edge rushers. Plus, what kind of return would actually make sense? The guys explore potential player-for-player scenarios, including linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and tight end Sam LaPorta, while callers weigh in on leadership, run defense struggles, coaching impact, and whether trading Kayvon for picks would be a massive mistake.

The Jets rumor mill hits a new level when reports surface that New York reached out to Jon Gruden, and the crew immediately connects the dots to a bigger, messier question: is this really Aaron Glenn's show, or is Woody Johnson still lurking with “suggestions” that can shake the whole building? Connor Hughes joins to explain what he's hearing from inside the organization, why the Jets' coaching plan has felt scattered, and how quickly a bad start could turn any “big name” hire into instant chaos. Along the way, the conversation digs into how toxic the Jets' reputation has become around the league, why the staff changes caught people off guard, and why the franchise feels like it's stuck in a never ending cycle of headlines, embarrassment, and “trust us” messaging. If Gruden turned them down once, does that make it even more likely the Jets come crawling back later, especially if the season goes sideways again? And if the Jets keep operating like this, what does that say about who's really steering the ship?

Evan lays out his blunt read on the Jets reaching out to Jon Gruden: it feels less like a coordinator search and more like a preview of what Woody Johnson might do when Aaron Glenn is gone. To separate paranoia from reality, the show brings in Jets reporter Connor Hughes to explain what he's hearing inside the building, how “hands off” Woody really is, and why a name like Gruden almost certainly touched ownership at some level. Connor details how the Jets' staff plan has shifted in real time, why candidates believed the defensive coordinator job was traditional before Aaron Glenn decided he wanted to call plays, and how the process spiraled from big-name interviews into a lesser-known hire with Glenn essentially running the defense. On offense, he explains the original plan to keep Tanner Engstrom in place with a veteran “head coach of the offense,” why firing him complicates things, and why Frank Reich is trending as the likely answer once the required interview process plays out. The bigger takeaway is the one Jets fans can't escape: the organization is getting mocked league-wide, the timeline to get a staff and quarterback plan in order is shrinking fast, and any Gruden connection is gasoline on a situation that already feels toxic. The segment then pivots to the Giants, where optimism is rising under John Harbaugh and the OC opening is suddenly one of the most attractive springboards in the league. Finally, the show reacts to fresh Browns drama involving Jim Schwartz, adding another dose of “what are they doing?” dysfunction to a day that already has plenty of it.

Connor Hughes of SNY has been on it and Boomer said the reporting seems accurate. We break down what it might mean for the team and their future.

As the Jets defensive coordinator search continues, Connor Hughes of SNY had an interesting tidbit on his Jets Final Drive podcast with Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.  According to Hughes, two “big name” candidates have told the Jets that they have no interest in interviewing to work for the Jets at this time.  Rosenblatt would add that his understanding is that it’s “more than two”. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/69540952/download.mp3 But while the search may not be going as well as hoped, the pair claims that well-known coordinator Wink Martindale has emerged as the current favorite to land the job.  Martindale coached in the NFL from 2004-20023, spending seven of those seasons as a defensive coordinator for the Broncos, Ravens, and Giants.  He has spent the past twos seasons in the college ranks for Michigan. As far as the offensive side of the football, particularly at quarterback, the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL is just around the corner, and there will be six QB’s on hand. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: Viewed as a lock to go in round 1 this year, Nussmeier had a disastrous year that how has him pegged as a mid-round pick.  Some speculate he was playing with an injury in 2025, so this will be a chance for the signal caller to raise his stock once again in a weak quarterback class. Taylen Green, Arkansas: The 6′ 6” Green has elite athletic traits but fell flat for much of 2025.  After starting off hot with ten touchdown passes in his first two games, Green would throw just nine more over the course of the remainder of the season.  Mobile will be a chance for Green to work with a more talented group of receivers but will have to show improved accuracy if he hopes to impress scouts. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor: Robertson is an aggressive downfield thrower who shows elite ball placement deep down the field and likes to find man coverage and air it out when opponents blitz.  He’s also more than willing to hang in the pocket do deliver a deep shot but will offer less than any other QB in mobile as a runner. Love the poise/awareness we see from @BUFootball QB Sawyer Robertson. Looks like a sure sack before he pulls away, finds RB Caden Knighten over the middle and pulls trigger for big gain instead of sack or throw away. Big opportunity to boost his stock at the @seniorbowl. pic.twitter.com/Duovst0cZk — Glenn Naughton (@JetsPicks) January 22, 2026 Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt: An underdog who always seems to find a way to pull out a win or keep Vandy competitive.  There are serious concerns regarding his height as some suggest he’ll check in at 5′ 9” in Indy.  This would be a major blow for a QB who likely irked some teams with his social media meltdown after not winning the Heisman. Luke Altmyer, Illinois: A guy who does a lot of things well but nothing exceptional.  Good arm strength and athleticism for Altmyer who logged 44 TD’s to just 11 INT’s over his final two college seasons.  A ‘steady Eddie” type who could be a day 3 pick and potential long-term backup. Cole Payton, NDSU: If the New Orleans Saints feel it’s time to move on from Taysom Hill, Payton could be the perfect replacement.  His speed and athleticism is beyond impressive and we expect him to run the fastest 40 among QB’s in Indy.  This isn’t to say he can’t wow you with an eye popping throw from time to time, but no matter the plan for Payton, he’s likely a multi-year project.

FULL SHOW: John Harbaugh is exactly what the Giants have been looking for, Evan gives the pros and cons of Harbaugh as an HC, Connor Hughes joins the show, Cinco De Lunch-O, and much more.

Connor Hughes joins the show to deliver a deep dive into why momentum is building toward John Harbaugh becoming the next head coach of the New York Giants. Connor explains why the process will take time despite clear interest, how the Rooney Rule factors into the timeline, and why Harbaugh has quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. The conversation digs into the power dynamic between Harbaugh and Joe Schoen, whether ownership would reshape the front office to land a proven coach, and how Harbaugh's presence would immediately change decision making inside the building. Connor also addresses competition from other potential openings, why the Giants are viewed as the most desirable vacancy, and whether candidates like Kevin Stefanski remain realistic alternatives. The interview wraps with expectations if Harbaugh is hired, from short term win projections to long term culture change, and Connor ultimately makes his call that all signs point toward Harbaugh and the Giants coming together sooner rather than later.

Connor Hughes said on Twitter that the Jets would need to pay a premium to trade for the first pick with the Giants. Also, Around the League? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
