The guys talk about why it's a great trade for both teams, how Carolina can get their QB of the future and Chicago can bolster a weak WR room with one of the best wideouts available this offseason.Next, they talk about Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler requesting a trade and why it's potentially a tough market for free-agent RBs at the moment.
