The Ringer's Kaelen Jones joins us in Hour 2 to talk about the Las Vegas Raiders Marcus Mariota and how he could be the real wild card in the wacky NFL quarterback carousel this offseason. Jones says Mariota's value could be very high and depending on what happens with other veterans on the market, the Raiders could get a nice return on the rejuvenated Heisman Trophy winner. Plus: Vinny Bonsignore stops by and talks about the tragic passing of former Buccaneers and Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Gulbransen is back live this Friday talking about the Houston Texans release of JJ Watt today and why he says absolutely the Raiders should try to sign the defensive tackle. The Raiders are in need of veteran leadership on defense and Watt, if they can afford him, would be a great fit Scott says. Plus, Chris Trapasso of CBSSports.com stops by with his 2020 NFL redraft including two new selections for the Raiders. In fact, he didn't have Henry Ruggs or Damon Arnette going in the first round of his redraft. A must hear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
