Episode 309: NFL Trade Deadline

This week on You’re Wrong… And Here’s Why:

00:00–02:30 – Opening Banter & Basketball Talk
Chris and Greg open with light banter about YouTube habits, voice cadences, and Chris accidentally channeling Hot Ones host Sean Evans. They discuss the return of Red Panda — the halftime unicycling legend — during the 76ers-Bulls game, alongside Jared McCain’s return.

03:30–08:30 – Eagles Trade Moves & Oddsmakers Futures

[03:45] Philadelphia Eagles trade recap: Michael Carter II from the Jets for John Metchie III; Greg views it as slot-corner depth.
[04:40] Next move: acquiring Yair Alexander from Baltimore for a 6th-rounder; both hosts question his health and fit.
[06:30] Third trade: Jalen Phillips from Miami for a 3rd-round pick. They discuss his fit, edge rotation with Nolan Smith and Brandon Graham, and how compensatory picks could offset the cost.
[07:45] Philadelphia’s championship odds now third-best at oddsmakers; Greg doubts the moves shift their offensive consistency.
[08:30] Discussion shifts to Kansas City Chiefs vs Bills odds — Chris calls Chiefs’ favoritism an overreaction based on reputation.

09:40–12:30 – Ravens & Cowboys Deals

[09:43] Baltimore trades for Draymond Jones (Titans) to bolster a battered defensive front; Lamar Jackson’s return sparks optimism.
[10:55] Dallas Cowboys pick up linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals; Greg doubts its impact given Wilson’s benching and poor coverage.

13:00–14:20 – Jaguars Trade

[12:47] Jacksonville adds Jacoby Myers from the Raiders for mid-round picks; hosts call it “fine depth,” especially amid injuries.
[14:02] Jaguars hold +4500 odds — slightly too high given inconsistent play.

14:20–18:20 – Blockbuster: Colts Land Sauce Gardner

[14:29] Indianapolis acquires Sauce Gardner for two first-rounders and WR Mitchell.
They rave about his elite PFF grades and potential pairing with Quinyon and Cooper, calling it possibly the best cornerback trio ever.
[18:00] Colts’ Super Bowl odds: 7th-best via oddsmakers; skepticism remains due to Daniel Jones’ volatility.

[18:34] Seattle trades for Rashid Shahid (Saints), praised for his speed and deep-threat ability alongside JSN.

23:10–24:20 – Bears Move & Defensive Notes

[23:55] Chicago acquires Joe Tryon-Shoyinka from Cleveland for late-round swap — any defensive help is welcome for a porous unit.

24:25–27:00 – Cowboys Strike Big Again

[24:29] Dallas lands Quinnen Williams from the Jets for first- and second-round picks plus Mazi Smith.
Greg calls it a “frightening” upgrade that could transform their defensive front but worries Jerry Jones won’t extend him promptly.
[26:15] Eagles minor roster notes: Jalen Phillips to wear #50; Nolan Smith’s practice window opens.
[26:45] Cowboys remain +20 000 at oddsmakers, but hosts agree they’re more dangerous after this trade spree.

27:30–29:30 – Chargers, Jets, and Trade Deadline Wrap-Up

[27:30] Chargers add OT Trevor Penning from the Saints for a 6th; strong depth move to protect Herbert.
[29:13] Jets’ final trade: acquire CB Ja’Sir Taylor from LA for a 2028 conditional 7th — closing the wildest NFL trade deadline in memory.
