With the trade deadline just a day away, I wanted to discuss the two IDP trades that just recently took place. The Titans traded away star safety Kevin Byard to the Eagles for 4th & 5th round picks and safety Terrell Edmunds. Then today the New York Giants traded DE Leonard Williams to the Seahawks in return for a 2nd & 5th round picks. The Giants also agreed to pay a large portion of Williams's contract for the earlier pick. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darrell-winstead/support

This week the guys take a look at some potential SAF Training Camp Battles that everyone should be paying close attention to. IDP Nation EP #201 DT Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t report to camp and begins holdout. The last report is negotiations are far apart SAF Budda Baker of the Arizona Cardinals is expected to report to camp despite contract negotiations Green Bay Packers placed EDGE Rashan Gary on the PUP list. The organization has until cutdowns to remove him or he’ll miss the first four weeks of the season Free Agent CB Marcus Peters signed with the Las Vegas Raiders Free agent LB Kyle Van Noy is visiting the Baltimore Ravens this week The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing veteran DT Duwanne Smoot to a  one-year deal The Tennessee Titans & SAF Kevin Byard agreed to a restructured contract Detroit Lions Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson was carted off after a non-contact knee injury. Update: No structural damage and is considered day-to-day. San Francisco 49ers DE Nick Bosa is not expected to attend training camp until contract negotiations  get done Minnesota Viking DE  Danielle Hunter is at camp but is not expected to practice until his contract is resolved The Seattle Seahawks signed OLB Uchenna Nwosu to a 3-year $59m deal Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey suffers a meniscus injury during practice and will undergo surgery. Expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Training Camp Battles (SAF’s) Kansas City Chiefs (Bryan Cook or Mike Edwards) New York Jets (Ashtyn Davis or Adrian Amos) lost Chuck Clark for the season due to an injury Los Angeles Rams (Russ Yeast or Jason Taylor II or Quentin Lake) New England Patriots (Adrian Phillips & Kyle Dugger are starters) with (Jabril Peppers & Jalen Mills as backups) Green Bay (Rudy Ford or Jonathan Owens) Cincinnati Bengals (Nick Scott or Jordan Battle) Detroit Lions (CJ Gardner-Johnson, Brian Branch, Tracy Walker, or Kerby Joseph) Los Angeles Chargers (Alohi Gilman or JT Woods) Carolina Panthers (Jeremy Chinn, Vonn Bell, Xavier Woods, Eric Rowe) Reddit u/RandomPhillyGuy Which Detroit Lions SAF would you want for this season? Reddit u/Maximum-Examination1 I think it's too early to see the 3rd thru 5 round rookies that beat out incumbent starters. I like NE Marte Mapu. Brian Branch of the Lions' 1st safety is probably high. Jammie Robinson if Jeremy Chinn is more big Nickel or both see the field. Chris Smith LVR. Antonio Johnson if he can beat Rashawn Jennings and love Andre Cisco. Sydney Brown Eagles lost the secondary player's 2nd safety was probably high. Camarillo Cornee on KC if good news teams got to play catchup. Brandon Hill if he wins Texans suck. It's more about reading camp news. Looking for nickel safety players to see the field? Facebook u/Andrew I'm curious about whether you should be getting any New York Giants linebackers not named Bobby Okereke. I believe that because the Giants are investing so little into the inside linebacker position and they might give Xavier McKinney the green dot, he's one of the top safeties to pick up. I'll take your thoughts on that. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darrell-winstead/support

In this episode, the guys discuss some upcoming LB training camp battles to watch and who they like to win the job. News & Notes New York Jets SAF Chuck Clark suffered a season-ending injury (ACL) Arizona Cardinals LB Isaiah Simmons is making the switch to defensive back Arizona Cardinals LB Zaven Collins has been switched to DE on MFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers SAF Antoine Winfield Jr agreed to a restructured contract with voidable years, which means Winfield could be a free agent as early as 2024 Carolina Panthers signed DT Taylor Stallworth to a 1-year deal New England Patriots sign LB Ja’Whaun Bentley to a 2-year extension thru 2025 Training Camp Battles (LB’s) Buffalo Bills (Dorian Williams, Terrell Bernard, or Tyrel Dodson) San Francisco 49ers (Oren Burks or Dee Winters) Baltimore Ravens (Patrick Queen or Trenton Simpson) Detroit Lions (Alez Anzalone, Malcolm Rodriguez, or Derrick Barnes) Listener Questions Reddit u/DynastyZeaLot I'd love to hear your take on the linebacking situation in Chicago. Sanborn came from nowhere last year, but now Edmunds and Edwards have joined the team and muddied the waters. What can owners of each of the three players expect for the coming season? Thanks! Reddit u/powerbrows I'd be curious how people are approaching Micah Parsons this season. Last year, he lined up almost exclusively as an Edge rusher and his overall numbers took a hit with the lack of tackles. Where are people ranking him this season? Reddit u/SternFlamingo I'd like some insight into what's happening in Houston. A great defensive coach now runs things and they saw an infusion of young talent. But they also hired a bunch of veterans who have turned in both good seasons and bad, at least from a fantasy perspective. Can Denzel Perryman and Cory Littleton return to form? Does Henry To'o To'o have a chance to follow in the path of fellow Bama alumni DeMeco Ryans? Does their secondary have a chance to become elite? And how long will it take for Will Anderson to start putting up numbers? Reddit u/Astralnaut Would love to hear about rookie prospects, who to be on the lookout for, and any fliers to target. Additionally, any thoughts on Anderson and Campbell, do you look for proven talent over premium prospects? Reddit u/Deep-Court-2755 Is Campbell a taxi candidate this year or will he be a candidate to start in start 2 LB IDP leagues? Reddit u/deleeeeeeeeeted Should I/we get out from under Shaq Leonard or have faith he'll return to form? His first year was his best year, and with all the injuries, I'm thinking I should try and sell now while there's still hope. Thanks, guys. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darrell-winstead/support
