We start with Myles Garrett's trade to the Rams, AJ Brown going to the Patriots, and the three veteran wide receivers signed by the Giants. Jerry has the Mariners beating the Mets in ten. Mike Brown talks playing Wemby and the Spurs, Landry Shamet discusses KAT going up against San Antonio, and Iman Shumpert joins Michelle Beadle to share his Spurs and Knicks picks. Finally, Russell Wilson replaces Matt Ryan on CBS's NFL Today, and a caller wonders why people hate the Knicks when they've been bad for so long.
