We are now deep into offseason noise season, and Garret Price brings in Jagger May to sort out what actually matters. With Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara out, the show turns into a real-time litmus test for free agency moves, especially the ripple effects that change dynasty values before rookie drafts. The headline is Jaylen Waddle landing in Denver, and the guys break down what it means for Courtland Sutton and the rest of the receiver room. They also question how much this really changes the outlook for Malik Willis in Miami, since the Dolphins now have extra picks and feel locked into adding pass catchers in the draft. From there, they pivot into teams most likely to add a real wide receiver, plus the “next tier” of teams where it is less certain. They also run through backfield winners and losers after moves involving Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker, Tyler Allgeier, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Gainwell, and Rico Dowdle, with a blunt note on Trey Benson. The tight end segment closes it out with quick fantasy reactions to signings including Isaiah Likely, Daniel Bellinger, and Travis Kelce. 00:00 Start 01:11 Jaylen Waddle Fallout 08:11 Malik Willis Outlook 09:35 JJ McCarthy's Situation 12:59 Teams That Need WR Help 31:43 FFPC 32:53 RB Moves and Impacts 39:05 TE Signings and Fantasy Impact Start Using the Film Room Today!

Would the guys take a guarantee of Dobbins to repeat his best season from his career so far or risk it for more? Do the Broncos have enough to repeat their success from last year and finish it off with a Super Bowl this year? Would the guys trade the 30th overall pick for AJ Brown?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and their free agency moves this week. With the lack of moves made, we debate if the Broncos need to make a trade to improve their roster. Phil advocates for the Broncos to add Alvin Kamara or Josh Jacobs to the running back room to sure up the room with a veteran behind Dobbins and Harvey. While Zach wants to see Chris Rodriguez in a Broncos uniform and thinks Denver can give him the opportunity to prove himself before hitting free agency. Today's "Three Count" features our reaction to the Broncos two compensatory picks in the draft this year at the very end of the draft, the NFL considering adding a game to Thanksgiving Eve this year, and the Ravens backing out of their trade with the Raiders for Maxx Crosby. We react to Sean Payton's comments from a year ago on how free agency is like a garage sale. Are the Broncos being smart by not paying a premium for a player that wasn't wanted by their former team?

Zach and Phil react to the details of JK Dobbins contract with the Broncos and question why he received as much money as he did. How comfortable are the guys with Dobbins and RJ Harvey being the plan at running back for the Broncos in 2026? Will Dobbins be able to stay healthy for the entire season? We react to the Nuggets falling to the Thunder in game of the year, last night. Should Nuggets Nation walk away from the loss encouraged with taking the best team in the west to the final seconds?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos first two days of NFL free agency and the lack of moves they've made.
