Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Mixon

The 2026 NFL Free Agency legal tampering period is officially OPEN and the market is already moving fast!

In this episode, we break down several major storylines across the sports world, starting with the potential impact of a Maxx Crosby trade and what it could mean for both the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders, analyzing how one of the league's most disruptive defensive players could shift the balance of power. We also discuss Jayson Tatum's return to the Boston Celtics lineup and how his presence changes the team's rhythm as the playoff push intensifies. From there, we dive into a wild stretch of NFL roster movement, including a hypothetical Trent McDuffie trade to the Los Angeles Rams, the implications of a David Montgomery trade, and the ripple effects of Joe Mixon's release. Finally, we close the show with early predictions and sleeper picks for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament (March Madness), discussing which teams could make deep runs and which contenders might be on upset alert.

Brandon Scott is in for Sean today. Seth and B-Scott kick off the show by talking about the breaking news coming from Ian Rapoport that the Texans have re-signed OG Ed Ingram to a 3-year deal, discuss the team extending TE Dalton Schultz over the weekend, and moving on from Joe Mixon at his request.

Seth and B-Scott discuss the Texans locking down TE Dalton Schultz, if he'd be more productive as part of a TE tandem, how'd they feel if the Texans were making aggressive o-line moves like the Bears, and how they'll remember Joe Mixon's days as a Texan now that he's been released.

-Contract Extension for Texans Pass Rusher Danielle Hunter! PAY DAY- -Time for these Texans to Open that Check Book this Offseason? -Texans BREAKING NEWS: Houston has RELEASED RB Joe Mixon;

Friday on The A-Team, Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler break down the latest contract extensions from the Houston Texans, say goodbye to Joe Mixon, and react to the Houston Rockets' disappointing loss to the Golden State Warriors. Plus, Jeremy Peña shares an update on his finger injury.

Joe Mixon released, Danielle Hunter extended and Wade Smith breaks down the O-line rebuild. Plus Nick Caserio on cap strategy ahead of Monday's tampering period. John Harris hosts a loaded Friday show on the eve of the legal tampering period, packing in a week's worth of roster news, a Wade Smith interview, and Nick Caserio audio. The biggest headline: Joe Mixon has been released at his own request, saving the Texans $8 million in cap space and officially closing the book on his Houston tenure after an injury-plagued 2025 season. That move pairs with several other transactions — Danielle Hunter receives a contract extension providing both long-term security and immediate cap relief, Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre restructure their deals to free up space, MJ Stewart returns on a one-year deal to shore up the secondary, and Dalton Schultz gets a one-year extension to remain through 2027. Former Pro Bowl guard Wade Smith provides the episode's analytical centerpiece in a pre-recorded interview with Marc Vandermeer. Wade credits Cole Popovich and the offensive line staff for genuine improvement in 2025, explains from personal experience why playing multiple positions can extend a career but may prevent maximizing at one spot, and describes the emotional rollercoaster of free agency — visiting Buffalo where former coaches tugged at his heartstrings, falling in love with Houston on his visit, then being pushed by his agent to leverage an Arizona trip he didn't want to take. On the current roster, Wade sees Aireontae Ersery and Trent Brown as likely starters at the tackle spots and emphasizes the need to invest in the interior, noting Ed Ingram's career-best season will price him high on the open market. He also raves about the Toro District facility at Bridgeland, comparing it to Frisco, Texas and the Cowboys' Star complex. The final segment features Nick Caserio's appearance on Sports Radio 610's Sean & Seth show, where the GM provides a candid look at the free agency big board process — starting with all available unrestricted free agents, narrowing to 25-30 realistic targets across positions, and eliminating mismatches in value quickly so the team doesn't "waste time." Caserio speaks warmly about Tytus Howard's professionalism, acknowledges the difficulty of managing competing contract demands, explains why the offensive line turnover isn't an indictment of individual players but a roster construction reality, and pushes back on PFF grades as "a data point" that lacks the context of being in meeting rooms. The show closes with league news including Taylor Decker's release from Detroit, Geno Smith's release from the Raiders, and DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Texans President Mike Tomon details the new Toro District HQ, plus Marc and John play a blind free agent game to pick Houston's next RB from Walker, Hall & ETN. It's Friday the 13th, and Marc Vandermeer and John Harris pack this edition of Texans All-Access with two major segments: a league-wide quarterback confidence ranking and a creative blind free agent running back game that ends with a surprising pick. The show opens with a wide-ranging NFL quarterback discussion sparked by a simple question: how many fan bases can truly plant a flag and say "my quarterback — we're good"? The duo works through every starter in the league, from Josh Allen's injury concerns to Drake Maye's Carson Wentz comparisons, Kyler Murray's uncertain future, Aaron Rodgers' age, and Tua Tagovailoa's fit in Miami under new head coach Jeff Hafley. The conversation loops back to C.J. Stroud and why, despite the playoff disappointment, the Texans remain confident in their quarterback going into 2026. Then John introduces a blind "mystery dating game" for running backs, reading three PFF scouting profiles stripped of names, and asking Marc to pick one. The reveal: Marc chooses Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III of the Seahawks, with Breece Hall of the Jets and Travis Etienne of the Jaguars as the other options. The segment sparks a deeper discussion about free agency running back strategy, Joe Mixon's uncertain status, and what Woody Marks and the backfield need going forward. The show closes with Texans President Mike Tomon's interview with Sean Pendergast and Seth Payne about the newly announced Toro District — the franchise's 83-acre headquarters, training facility, and mixed-use development in Bridgeland. Tomon details the vision for the facility, the partnership with Howard Hughes, the youth sports and women's sports integration, and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris return for the second offseason edition of Texans All-Access with a deep dive into the 2026 free agency landscape. The duo plays "Wow, He's a Free Agent?" — running through Houston's key pending free agents including Sheldon Rankins, Tim Settle, Foley Fatukasi, Derek Barnett, Denico Autry, Dare Ogunbowale, Nick Chubb, Christian Kirk, and Tommy Townsend. The conversation also tackles the running back market, with names like Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, and Rico Dowdle on the table as potential fits alongside returning backs Joe Mixon and British Brooks. John makes a passionate case for bringing back Rankins as the emotional leader of the defensive line room, while the duo debates which veterans are must-keeps versus replaceable through the draft.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Dotson and Garret Price sound the alarm on running back scarcity in dynasty leagues. With a weak 2026 rookie class, the hosts urge managers to act now before free agency reshapes the landscape. The message is clear: if you need running back help, the time to trade is before values spike. Breece Hall leads the free agent class as the top prize for contending teams. The hosts highlight Kansas City, Houston, and Washington as ideal landing spots. Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne round out the top tier, while J.K. Dobbins and Javonte Williams offer intriguing mid-tier value. Rich and Garret break down potential cap casualties including Tony Pollard, Joe Mixon, and James Conner, while highlighting Jonathon Brooks as a sneaky buy low candidate in Carolina.
