Thank you, Judy. uh, Aziz Oari,
look, when you see a, a former Giant
signing a contract in the Eagles facility, if you're
a Giant fan, you know, you get a
little bit of the shakes there, uh, considering
what Saquan Barkley did. So, uh, here's
Aziz Oilari who's had trouble. He's got talent,
he's had trouble staying healthy. If he can do
that, he can now contribute to the Eagles as
you see the. Uh, additions and the subtractions
for the Eagles who have been up against it a
little bit, cap and cash wise, so they've
had to make some more budget decisions. Milton Williams
and Josh Sweat getting the big money as Ijo Gari
and Josh Uche up front getting, uh, much
more, uh, what do you want to call
them, Baldy, uh, Brian Balding, you're
with us, much more economical deals we'll call them
that, um, but it doesn't mean that they
couldn't have big contributions for the Eagles in 2025.
What do you think about these two editions? I
like him. I like him because, uh,
they're both young. Uh, Ojailari is only 24
right now, Mike. Oser is only 25.
They got an upside to both of them right here
. Uh, it was, you know, Oilari
had 8 sacks, uh, his rookie year in
New York when he was the healthiest he'd been.
You got to remember now. In Vic Fangio's defense
, you're not just a pass rusher, you're an
outside linebacker. That's what they're looking to replace from
Josh Sweat. Guys that have to be able to
drop in and cover a little bit in the flat
, do some other things. So both these players
, Uche had 1115 sacks in 2022, uh,
you know, when he had a really good pass
rusher, uh, opposite him and Matt Judon.
Uh, they had 27 sacks between the two of
them. So I think Uh, and then you
say, you know, went to Kansas City last
year. I talked to Steve Spagnola about it.
He goes, it's, it's difficult to learn our
defense on the fly during the season. We just
asked guys to do so much. So we didn't
do a lot in Kansas City, but they both
have talent. They believe in throwing a lot of
bodies at these positions. They'll probably draft an edge
guy as well. Uh, you saw the development
of Nolan Smith like nobody else in the last 10
weeks last year. We saw Ja Lux Hunt have
a real impact during the Super Bowl, their 3rd
round pick from a year ago. So, they
want, they want, uh, depth at that
position where they can rotate these guys through, keep
them fresh, because if you're playing for the Eagles
here, Mike, You're planning on not just a
17 game schedule, you're planning on a 20 or
21 game schedule. So they want to rotate these
guys through, get them on the field, get
them reps, keep them fresh up front, uh
, and let their stars, Jaylen Carter, you
know, Nola Smith, let those guys really flourish
in this game. Yeah, these guys have big
time potential, uh, to be pass rushers that
are consistent and consistently healthy in Oja Larry's case,
which could mean big money and my understanding is the
Eagles said we're signing these guys to one year deals
, which means next year they're gonna be free agents
and if they. Hit big and sign big elsewhere
. That's a compensatory draft pick for those guys in
2027. This is how Howie Roseman computes these things
to keep the draft picks going. We're seeing he's
in the thick of having, uh, a lot
of picks over the next couple of years. Brian
Baldinger, don't go anywhere, you're coming back right
after this.
