The show starts with Producer Zack's reaction to Malik Willis taking over as QB1 of his Miami Dolphins. Next, the guys react live to the news that the Ravens-Raiders Maxx Crosby trade was canceled and debate where the next landing spot could be for Crosby... and why it could be the Bears or Lions. Later, the guys debate if Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers will have a more talented roster in 2026 than 2025, if Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears have added enough to repeat as NFC North champions, and how Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions return to relevancy in the NFC. And why does Paul think there is actually hope for the Minnesota Vikings... is he just setting himself up to be hurt? The show ends with the guys reacting to other major NFL free agency news including the Pittsburgh Steelers adding Michael Pittman Jr. and Rico Dowdle to juice up their offer to Aaron Rodgers, Mike Evans leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the San Francisco 49ers, and Ziggy shares why he thinks the Las Vegas Raiders' Tyler Linderbaum deal is one of the worst contracts ever.Timeline: 00:00 - Ziggy Appreciation 03:55 - Producer Zack's Malik Willis Reaction 08:58 - Why Tua was NEVER coming to Vikings 11:30 - Packers: Have they lost TOO MANY players? 13:09 - Maxx Crosby trade CANCELED 21:15 - Packers: Have they lost TOO MANY players? 29:43 - Bears: Doing enough to improve roster? 35:43 - Lions: How do they return to top of NFC? 42:36 - Vikings: Why there is actually HOPE 52:30 - Steelers JUICE UP offense for Rodgers return 57:06 - Mike Evans to 49ers 01:00:12 - Ziggy HATES Raiders dealFollow The Paul Farrington Show:https://www.instagram.com/paulfarringtonshow/Follow The Paul…","meta_description":"Paul Farrington and Robert \"Ziggy\" Ziegler react to major storylines from around NFC North free agency.
