Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab dive into the latest news and storylines surrounding the NFL, including the Davante Adams trade rumors, Baker Mayfield’s resurgence, the NFL’s power rankings and more.

Fitz, Jori and Frank kick things off with the news that Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams has officially requested a trade. Jori believes the trade will happen and the hosts give up their preferred landing spots (Aaron Rodgers reunion looming?). Fitz begins a discussion about Antonio Pierce’s leadership and how the Raiders ended up in this less than ideal situation. The trio also discusses the potential impact of Von Miller’s suspension on the Buffalo Bills.

Jori then wrote a piece about the recent trend of quarterbacks reviving their careers with big breakout seasons, including Geno Smith two years ago, Baker Mayfield last year and Sam Darnold this year. The group discusses what’s in these career resurgences, what we can learn from them, and whether players like Bryce Young have a chance to continue the trend.

Frank’s power rankings for this week are live, and Frank defends his NFC East rankings against Jori’s criticism that the Philadelphia Eagles should be behind the Washington Commanders. The Minnesota Vikings’ rise to second place leads to a conversation about the future of Brian Flores.

Finally, the hosts make their picks for the Thursday night game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons.
