The trade deadline came and went, and the biggest move sent Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota for a 2027 third-round pick — one night after Carson Wentz’s disaster against Buffalo. Grant thinks the 6-2 Vikings just found their missing piece; John isn’t so sure a statue in the pocket fixes an offensive line that still can’t block. John also says the Raiders won the deal by a mile, because now the Fernando Mendoza era starts. Then the deals that didn’t happen: Jonathan Taylor is still a Colt after nobody offered a first, and John says the contenders who passed told you they don’t really believe they can win it all. Plus Josh Downs to Kansas City, why the Rams stood pat, and the Matthew Stafford-to-Minnesota rumor John was afraid to send Grant. In the NBA, Boston ran Philadelphia off its own floor in the first meeting since the Jaylen Brown trade. Paul George scored 36, Brown managed 13 with four fouls by the third quarter, and John has a hard message for Sixers fans about Joel Embiid. Tim Parker joins with the Philly perspective on Brown and Jayson Tatum, then the crew asks the what-if: would LeBron have picked Golden State if he’d known what Yaxel Lendeborg would become?
