John Middlekauff discusses San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams holding out of training camp, wanting a new contract. How much money does Trent Williams deserve to be paid by the 49ers? Plus, John dives into why the Dallas Cowboys can’t pay CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott & Micah Parsons too much because it could hurt the Cowboys’ ability to compete. In other NFL news, John reacts to Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson’s calf injury and Ja’Marr Chase’s hold in with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Keep content coming bro 🏈🏈✊🏿
Johnny boy. Day number 400 something of watching you consistently 😅😅😅😅
Still can't believe the Falcons drafted Michael Penix, he should've been a Raider. Life would be so good
Those crappy tua takes (pun intended) are piling up on ya, huh?
Shoutout to John
Pay CeeDee, let Dak walk next year, trade Micah next year.
WetWoodys at Gar Woods are a must!!!
Your show is the best!
Geez the local gov doesn't test the lake water daily to make sure it's safe to swim in?! I live by Lake Superior (yes you can swim in it during summer time) and the beaches are tested daily to make sure it is safe to swim in. Right now only one beach in town is safe, I don't know what the others are contaminated with, the towns facebook will have why posted if I really wanted to find out.
But they just let you swim in shit water? WTF.
Grats on 36k 🐐
What up John Appreciate Ya'll who make the videos can you make a broncos video about their new deals n a pat surtain deal?
Pay Lamb. Pay Dak. Trade Parsons for 3 first round picks
The rest of the league will rejoice if they stiff Trent Williams and dump the bag on Purdy. Surefire way to be mediocre IMO. Maybe I’m wrong.
The question about who the niners would rather have between Trent and BA is a bit skewed by the rest of the personnel on the team. The niners are rich in skill position talent even without BA and completely devoid of o-line talent without Trent. I think if a team like the 2023 Chiefs had to choose which of them they would prefer to add it would be a lot closer. Add Trent to that O-line and it is now the best O-line in the league, and you still have Pacheco/Rice/Kelce at the skill positions. Add BA and the skill positions are now elite and you still have a top 10 O-line.
Falcons mistake was signing Kirk Cousins, I think drafting Penix to go with Robinson and London was the perfect plan, he is a deep ball master and already set to lead a team.
Paying that much money to a non big time QB that is 35 and Achilles is just like wtf!??
THE PARTY TO BLAME IS THE FALCONS SCOUTING DEPT IF they really didn’t think PENIX was that good sooner than signing Kirk Cousins.
Took a losing UW program to an undefeated season as an air raid QB in 2 seasons, coming off like 4 injury plagued seasons… dude is ready now
Parsons should not even be in this conversation. He is still in his rookie deal with an other year to go and Dallas has already expressed that they will exercise their fifth year team option and they can franchise him for 3 years. RIGHT NOW its Dak and Lamb. I bet they sign all 3
Trent wants Guaranteed money.
That’s Poogazi Friday
Why people high on bryce but low on adian.
Is that draft status only
“Kohls cash guy” 😂😂😂
I would never say the Raiders have 0 chance. After all, Mark Rypien won a Super Bowl during the early 90’s when the NFC was run by the Cowboys, Giants, 49ers, and Packers. A one year wonder happens every so often.
Couldn't agree more. Positive attitude.
It’s about Trent not having guaranteed money left on his contract. Which he should have
13:23 draft a qb in the 1st compete with Lance save on $ while having expensive players around em. 9ers gonna take a step back next year so could be dallas chance to be the top team then.
The quiet part out loud is that the Dallas is done. Jerry is done. He's done throwing money away, convincing himself that he's got the winner only to be humiliated every playoff season. Dak isn't the guy and Trey Lance is REALLY not the guy. The entire franchise needs a culture rebuild, ground up. The Rams and Lions have modeled the way for how to do it.
Starts at 3:20 btw
Ceedee will cave and play this year with no contract. Jerry ain’t paying anyone this year. He said it in an interview.. receivers are too easy to draft.. f that 32-35 mil a year for a receiver
Teams need to stop overpaying Qbs…which would bring WR market down and Everyone else…..no qb should make 20% of cap
