Podcast appearances and mentions of Derek Carr

With Breece Hall's situation still looming, the focus shifts fully to the Jets quarterback overhaul. Evan, Tiki and the crew lock in their official predictions for the two veteran quarterbacks the Jets will add before the draft. Is this about finding a true starter or building a bridge room like the Giants did last year? Tiki doubles down on Kirk Cousins as the cleanest fit and pairs him with Kenny Pickett as the long-term backup play. Evan sticks with Derek Carr as the 2026 starter and predicts a developmental swing with Will Levis. Rosie throws out a reunion with Geno Smith plus Marcus Mariota. They debate upside versus stability, whether Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey can afford another short-term fix, and how much cap space factors into the equation. Is this about winning now or building correctly for once? Then it's pure nostalgia. The guys unveil vintage audio of Tiki's draft night, including the original Mel Kiper breakdown of Tiki Barber coming out of Virginia. How accurate was the scouting report? What did they say about his size, speed and projection? And how different was draft coverage back then compared to today? Jets future. Giants history. Quarterback roulette. And a throwback moment you won't hear anywhere else.

The NFL offseason just kicked into overdrive, and somehow the Packers are the only team standing still. Ryan rips through a massive news day — trades, cuts, contract extensions, and combine rumors flying from every direction — while Green Bay sits quietly with a ticking salary cap clock and a shrinking window to act. Rich Bisaccia officially heads to Clemson, and a new Tyler Dunn report reveals that Matt LaFleur is "intense" and "a difficult boss" with assistants — raising questions about whether that played a role in Bisaccia's departure The veteran QB market is flooding with names like Tua, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Kirk Cousins, and Justin Fields potentially available at the minimum — could the Packers snag a high-end backup for pennies? The Vikings are quietly trying to move on from JJ McCarthy after a disastrous sophomore campaign, and Derek Carr's name keeps surfacing as a potential landing spot in Minnesota Dallas Goedert is leaving Philly and could be an intriguing red zone weapon next to Tucker Kraft, while offensive line options like Juwan Taylor and Liam Eichenberg hit the open market Romeo Doubs' price tag keeps climbing as the WR market heats up, making a Packers reunion increasingly unlikely despite the front office's stated desire to bring him back With the new league year hitting March 11 and legal tampering starting March 9, the Packers have roughly six days to get their house in order. The flurry is coming — the only question is whether it'll be enough. #Packers #GreenBay #NFL #FreeAgency #NFLOffseason #GoPackGo #PackerNet This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Vikings Trade for Anthony Richardson? KOC's JJ McCarthy Comments and Top QB Options Ranked — Tyler Forness and Producer Dave discuss Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell and exec Rob Brzezinski's recent comments, debating whether the team is still fully sold on JJ McCarthy or whether O'Connell is feeling pressure to get the quarterback decision right. They then break down trade speculation connecting Minnesota to Colts QB Anthony Richardson, citing past Vikings interest in Richardson and arguing his elite traits make him a high-upside target despite injuries and accuracy issues; Tyler suggests a possible deal involving pick 97 and a fifth for Richardson plus an early fourth. Forness presents his top 10 potential Vikings quarterback additions across three paths (starter, competition, backup), ranking Marcus Mariota, Aaron Rodgers, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Kyler Murray, Derek Carr, Malik Willis, Kirk Cousins, Geno Smith, and Richardson as No. 1. 00:00 Richardson Trade Buzz 01:09 Show Setup and Agenda 01:50 KOC Quotes on McCarthy 04:55 Is JJ Still the Guy 07:32 Dave Pushes Back 09:57 Front Office Messaging 13:22 Housekeeping and Plugs 14:22 Why Richardson Intrigues 17:27 Traits and Mechanics Breakdown 19:46 Vikings Linked to Colts 21:25 Cousins as the Safety Net 25:07 Fit in KOC Offense 27:59 Trade Cost Prediction 28:54 QB Market Reality Check 31:09 Setting Up the Next Segment 32:06 Vikings QB Paths 32:32 Ranking Criteria 33:24 Marcus Mariota Backup 34:48 Fading Aaron Rodgers 36:05 Mac Jones Trade Cost 37:29 Tua Injury Concerns 38:44 Kyler Murray Fit 43:49 Derek Carr Wildcard 46:37 Malik Willis Price Tag 49:56 Kirk Cousins Return 54:16 Geno Smith Value 57:24 Anthony Richardson Top Pick 59:33 Wrap Up And Next Shows _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/TLLB8PEPQoo Fan With Us!!!

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down the latest news coming out of the NFL Combine, most of it quarterback-focused. First, however, they debate Sean Payton handing over play-calling duties to Davis Webb. Is this actually a smart move for one of the NFL’s most celebrated offensive minds? Next they dive into the reports that Derek Carr might un-retire, that Anthony Richardson and Tyson Bagent (!) could be traded, and that J.J. McCarthy will for sure face competition. They also look into items on Kyler Murray, Mac Jones, Brian Thomas Jr. and D.J. Moore in a jam-packed show. (2:20) – Is Brandon Aubrey worth $10 Million per season?

A jam-packed hour with travel chaos, brutal commutes, and a check-in on the crew (including Connor Green and the latest “Loogie” tales). Then the sports hits hard: Giancarlo Stanton admits his elbow pain is so bad he “can't open a bag of chips,” sparking a real Yankees roster conversation around rest, urgency, and what it means for Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones. From there, it's full Jets mode at the combine after a headline trade: Jermaine Johnson is shipped out as the Jets bring in massive nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, with plenty of debate on what it says about Aaron Glenn's defensive blueprint and what it means for the No. 2 pick. The QB carousel gets messy too, with Andy Dalton as a potential “competency” option, plus the usual Kirk Cousins and Derek Carr arguments, and even some Tanner McKee trade talk. To wrap it up, St. John's lays an egg vs. UConn and the guys argue whether it's an anomaly or a warning sign for March, with a quick spin through other big topics like ABS and CC Sabathia getting his number retired.

Vikings Cast a Wide Net at QB for 2026 After Brzezinski's Combine Comments — Dave from Vikings First in SKOL recaps February 24, 2026 on this Vikings Daily Opener, news from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, where Vikings cap/FO executive Rob Brzezinski says the team is “exploring all possibilities” to improve quarterback play in 2026 and “not ruling anything out,” signaling J.J. McCarthy is on notice despite Kevin O'Connell still calling him the franchise QB while acknowledging the timeline has changed.  The episode frames the Vikings as seeking a baseline level of competent QB play and discusses what a “wide net” could include, ranging from top-end veteran options to competition/bridge quarterbacks, naming Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, a possibly retired Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins (noting potential release in Atlanta), Geno Smith, Mac Jones, Malik Willis, Anthony Richardson, and a lower tier including Marcus Mariota and Jimmy Garoppolo (with additional mentions like Spencer Rattler). Brzezinski emphasizes the team won't force a bad fit (“can't manufacture what's not there”) and is running the front office through after the draft under owner Mark Wilf, while O'Connell downplays any drama regarding the former GM now in San Francisco. Dave concludes the Vikings are being more aggressive at quarterback than since the 2009 Brett Favre move, presenting the approach as “re-arming” rather than rebuilding and inviting any potential QB to join a team featuring Justin Jefferson and a loud home stadium. 00:00 SKOL Nation Intro 01:13 Combine Bombshell 02:13 JJ On Notice 04:01 Coach Speak Reality 04:56 Top Tier Targets 06:34 Veteran Competition 08:49 Fallback Options 09:32 Front Office Power 11:15 What It Means 12:58 Rearming Finale FAN WITH US!

The 2026 Offseason has begun!The guys discuss the important offseason dates in this episode, but a lot of things have gone down since Super Bowl LX, so they're here with the deets. Apparently, NFL players are still committing crimes against women and the NFL doesn't seem to care about it. The guys aren't shocked at all. What would shock them is if the Bears were no longer in Chicago. Is it even legal to have a major sports league without a team in Chicago? The Seahawks are up for sale and Jon has a fresh idea on what the current owner should do in lieu of selling the team to some rich asshole. Speaking of assholes, if you mix up Snoop Dogg and Miles Garrett, does that make you an asshole? You'd at least be a contender for some brand of racist. And if you're a contender, then that means Derek Carr is willing to play for you this upcoming season. Who's looking for that? Yeah, this is a true SveNFL take on the league we all love.

Evan reveals his full 25-quarterback Big Board for the New York Jets' 2026 options — including free agents, trade targets, and under-contract players who could be on the move — and the reaction is exactly what you'd expect: disbelief, anger, and nonstop criticism. Why are Anthony Richardson and Malik Willis at the very top? Is Derek Carr actually one of the safest options? Should Kirk Cousins be much higher? And where do polarizing names like Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and Mac Jones really belong? The debate dives into scheme fit, upside vs. reliability, and the brutal reality that the Jets' QB situation may be far worse than fans want to admit. When every option comes with major flaws, building a “perfect” list becomes nearly impossible. Plus, the segment takes a wild detour into Mets promotional night announcements, legendary giveaways, and a nostalgic discussion about the most creative stadium promos ever. If you're trying to figure out the Jets' path forward at quarterback — or just want to argue about it — this is peak offseason chaos.

The 4th and final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with laughs, debates, and classic WFAN chaos. Evan reacts to the backlash over his massive New York Jets quarterback big board and the surprising “grade” he got after submitting it to AI for evaluation. The guys break down the rankings, argue over fit vs upside, and debate options like Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, and Anthony Richardson plus whether the criticism was fair or just noise.

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2026 offseason with one defining question: who will be the starting quarterback next season? In this episode, Joe and Brian take a deep dive into every path the Steelers could take, from an Aaron Rodgers return to the possibility of handing the offense to Will Howard after a year of development. We explore the veteran quarterbacks who could become available due to contract situations and cap decisions, including Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa, and Derek Carr, and how each one would fit in Pittsburgh. We also examine the free‑agent market, potential bridge options, and the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft who align with the Steelers' long‑term vision. If you want a complete, informed, and forward‑looking breakdown of the Steelers' quarterback plan for 2026, this episode covers every angle. Fan Questions Want to be featured on the show?

Hour 3 of JJ & Alex with Jeremiah Jensen and Alex Kirry. Cole Bagley, Utah Mammoth insider for KSL Sports NFL Blitz: Derek Carr wants to unretire for a Super Bowl contender Best and Worst of the Day

Steve Cohen says the Mets will “never” have a captain as long as he owns the team, but the guys dig into the archives and compare it to what Cohen said a year earlier to see if this is a real flip or just a tone change. Then, Cohen's vague salary cap answer turns into a debate about owners, leverage, and what's coming with MLB labor tension. Plus, the phones light up with Jets quarterback talk as Evan builds his “available QB” big board with Derek Carr near the top, and the crew tees up how aggressive the Giants and Jets should be this offseason. Finally, Cinco de Luncho returns with “Top 5 Non Hall of Famers Who'd Raise Their Team's Ceiling."

Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.

In Hour 3 of the show the guys discuss Damian Lillard returning from a recovering torn ACL to just play in the 3pt contest and winning it amidst the All-Star format being subpar. Plus, the guys discuss the possible return of Derek Carr from retirement rumors, a condom shortage edition of The Leftovers, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then they debate who the Cardinals and Dolphins should target to potentially replace Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa (20:30). The guys also consider Aaron Rodgers potential return to the Steelers (35:55), what’s next for Kirk Cousins (42:34), and whether Derek Carr would be relevant if he unretires (47:02).

February 13, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 93 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers announcing their full coaching staff for the 2026 season on Thursday. We go over the few new names that are included in that list of staff members, and we also have conversations on the overall size of the staff and much more related to that Thursday announcement by the team. Several current and former Steelers have now chimed in on the comments made by Joey Porter Sr. about Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger during his recent interview on the Cameron Heyward podcast, so we go over the latest related to that topic. Former NFL QB Derek Carr has made it known that he is open to a comeback in 2026 should the right opportunity present itself so Alex and I address what all he had to say recently and whether the quarterback could be a plausible and possible fit with the Steelers. The NFL has reportedly now informed all 32 teams in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance vs. the NFLPA and its “team report cards" after an arbitrator determined that the NFLPA's conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any future report cards. Alex and I both have opinions and reactions to that Friday breaking news. A judge ruled on Thursday in favor of Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss still having a year of college eligibility remaining due to a medical hardship a few years ago, so Alex and I react to that news during this show. On the heels of my first 2026 salary cap update for the Steelers being posted on Thursday, Alex and I discuss everything related to that topic. We also discuss potential March salary cap casualties related to the Steelers in addition to other ways the team might decide to create additional space should they deem that necessary during the offseason. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss the probability and plausibility related to offseason contract extensions being signed by CB Joey Porter Jr., K Chris Boswell, OLB Nick Herbig, DT Keeanu Benton, and TE Darnell Washington. We go over a few perceived market values for several of those players. This 129-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Derek Carr rumor cycle takes a hard turn as new comments force Evan to rethink everything he thought he heard in December. Is Carr actually open to coming back, or is he quietly ruling the Jets out unless they magically become contenders overnight? The guys break down what Carr really means by “the perfect situation,” which teams actually fit that description, and why the Jets may already be on the outside looking in. The quarterback discussion spirals into full Jets chaos, from Malik Willis to Kyler Murray, Tua, Cousins, Rodgers rumors, draft options, and the reality that there is no clean answer. Evan announces an upcoming Jets QB Big Board, callers argue over upside vs. desperation, and the debate over winning now versus setting up 2027 heats up. Plus, Tom Brady somehow narrates a 49ers documentary and still finds a way to take a cheap shot at Jets fans, sparking a classic Evan rant. The hour also introduces the idea of a weekly “worst take of the week” segment, with more than a few WFAN personalities already lobbying their case.

Derek Carr walks back Jet hops, NBA All Star Weekend is here, Valentine's Day surprise from Tiki, and much more

A scary Friday the 13th story kicks things off before the conversation turns into full Jets chaos. The guys break down how whispers about Derek Carr coming out of retirement to play for the New York Jets went from sounding obvious to suddenly feeling unrealistic. After revisiting Carr's December comments and his latest clarification, the debate shifts to what he really wants, which teams actually make sense, and why the Jets keep finding themselves stuck in quarterback limbo. Plus, concern over Yankees injuries, early thoughts on a new weekly “worst take” segment, and the exhausting reality of chasing veteran QB solutions with no clear answer in sight.

Also, Jazz Chisholm's MVP aspirations, Derek Carr's Jets coach-crush to the bizarre details of Boomer's questionable "one-razor" grooming habits, we cover a lot of stuff. Plus, Joey Porter Sr. taking shots at Ben Roethlisberger, a plea for the return of classic coaching sweaters, and a peek into the crumbling dynasties of the Patriots and Warriors.

Ben Maller talks about the NY Jets inching closer to bringing Derek Carr out of retirement, Mike Vrabel commenting on the performance of Pats LT Will Campbell, the authenticity of Super Bowl 60 viewership ratings, Password: Word Game of the Stars, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

the guys break down a Knicks loss that “won't ruin the season,” but absolutely cannot happen against a bad, tanking opponent. They debate Jalen Brunson's late-game hero ball, the missed Landry Shamet look that almost stole it, and how the Knicks left everything on the floor just to go scoreless for long stretches in overtime. Then the NBA drops the punishments from the Pistons-Hornets brawl, headlined by Isaiah Stewart's seven-game suspension, plus penalties for Miles Bridges and Jalen Duren. The key question: how does this impact the Knicks when Detroit comes out of the All-Star break, and why does it suddenly matter for seeding? Finally, the hour turns into Jets draft chaos as Evan breaks down clips from new Raiders head coach Clint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis that hint at what Las Vegas wants to do with the No. 1 overall pick and QB Fernando Mendoza. The guys debate whether the door is even slightly open for a trade, how Todd McShay's take on the 2026 vs 2027 draft changes the math, and why the Jets' pile of 2027 picks makes this a rare “perfect storm” scenario. Plus, the Derek Carr breadcrumbs keep piling up.

Cinco de Luncho delivers a full football breakdown as the guys rank the five best veteran quarterback options for the New York Jets heading into 2026. From off-the-wall trade ideas to realistic stopgap solutions, the list sparks debate about upside, durability, and whether the Jets are actually a decent landing spot for a veteran passer. Names like Tyson Bagent, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Deshaun Watson, and Mac Jones are all dissected, with arguments over ceiling versus floor and whether copying the Sam Darnold revival model is the smartest path forward. The segment also turns light and chaotic, from smoothie reveals and Cinco history tracking to callers roasting Shaun over his Brian Cashman wardrobe takes. It wraps with Mets talk as the crew predicts when Francisco Lindor will return from hamate surgery and when he will launch his first home run of the season. Classic Cinco energy with equal parts football theory, New York sports chaos, and laughs.
