    Burg and Manish kick off this episode with a lively discussion on recent NFL headlines like Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice landing in jail for 30 days after violating the terms of his probation and the latest on the A.J. Brown trade news. Is the Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver still destined for a Mike Vrabel reunion with the New England Patriots or will Philly general manager Howie Roseman find the 2027 first-round pick that he covets from another team like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Chiefs or someone else?
