Welcome to episode 162 of The Autumn Windbags! New Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a good looking, ladies' man and sex workers in Las Vegas are taking notice. Two of them released a statement saying the new quarterback gets free sex for life just because he's the Raiders quarterback. Former Raiders general manager Mike Mayock appeared on @PLonNFL and was asked about former Raiders Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller and his move to the New York Raiders. Mayock waxed poetic on his work ethic, love of football and desire to be a good person. The Raiders trade rumors turned out to be true and the raiders were forced to trade him to the Giants, likely because of how much Darren Waller changed. In Raiders free agency, here are all the signings from week two: Austin Hooper, OJ Howard, Cam Sims, Jordan Willis, David Long Jr, Jaquan Johnson and Jermaine Eluemunor. After two weeks of NFL free agency, it looks like Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels are counting on Raiders draft 2023 to fill in a ton of holes on defense. We'll see who the raiders free agent targets will be in the coming weeks. The Raiders depth chart right now looks pretty terrible on defense. Only Maxx Crosby can be counted on to perform. On offense, production will depend on Jimmy Garoppolo staying healthy, Josh Jacobs delivering yet again and the pass catchers like Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow staying healthy. The Las Vegas Raiders cap situation is starting to come together. The offense with big contracts to Jimmy Garaoppolo, Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs is 5th most in the NFL. The defense spends 30th most, even with Maxx Crosby's big contract. Raiders Foster Moreau, their former tight end, announced on Twitter that he has cancer. In What Up, Windbags, the guys discuss should grown men still watch porn, Darren Waller and dollar tree signings.

Episode 161 of The Autumn Windbags! What a great time of the year it is when the NFL calendar year begins. With Jimmy Garoppolo moving to Las Vegas now that he is signed to the Raiders, the question of the day asks which porn star should he start dating? After he was filmed dating a porn star years ago, you know he won't be able to resist now that he is in Sin City. Jimmy G to the Raiders is official. Now that the Windbags had a day to digest the news, they discuss what he brings to Josh McDaniels and the Raiders. With weapons like Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs, he is in a position to succeed. The Las Vegas Raiders traded Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller to the New York Giants receiving a third round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Waller's salary, injury history and play all contributed to the need to move on. Another factor was his supposed beef with Maxx Crosby, Josh McDaniels and the rest of the team. The Raiders trade Waller means multiple things. The NFL is three days into free agency. So far the Raiders have signed Jakobi Meyers, Phillip Dorsett, Robert Spillane, Marcus Epps, Brandon Facyson, Brandon Parker, Jakob Johnson, Jerry Tillery and Roderic Teamer. Three days into free agency, we can start to see what Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler's strategy is with the roster. Marcus Johnson from @tapedontlie has a theory on what they are doing. Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr opened up about his decision to not accept a trade and to sign with the New Orleans Saints. In What Up, Windbags, the guys discuss drafting a quarterback, will Jimmy G be Jimmy Gag with the raiders and is Soto to sensitive or is RJ too negative?

Episode 160 of The Autumn Windbags coming at you! RJ is in Las Vegas working the Power Slap broadcast which Soto hates! The question of the day is the question half the teams in the NFL are asking themselves: Should Lamar Jackson go to the Raiders? The Baltimore Ravens announced that the Lamar Jackson franchise tag has gone through and the Ravens are looking for trade partners. The non-exclusive franchise tag that Lamar Jackson was placed under means the former NFL MVP can negotiate with any team he wants but the new team will own the Ravens two first round draft picks. What does Lamar Jackson to the Raiders look like? Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL but it will take salary cap flexibility even though the Raiders cap space 2023 is in a pretty good situation. If the Raiders next qb is Lamar Jackson, he will have plenty of weapons in NFL Pro Bowlers Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs. Who will be the Raiders quarterback in 2023? Derek Carr's brother and NFL Network analyst David Carr went on the family podcast to discuss the fallout from Derek Carr's move to the New Orleans Saints and his exit from the Raiders. They discussed how the Saints went hard after Derek Carr. Why the Raiders should go young with a mobile QB and how Josh McDaniels system works well with young quarterbacks. How the Carr's believe Josh McDaniels is a genius offensively. Plus, how David Carr was cryptic in how he discussed Darren Waller. Raiders Pro Bowlers Maxx Crosby and Darren Waller both got married in Las Vegas the past weekend. The drama comes from two top players of the same team getting married on the same day making teammates and coaches decide which wedding to attend. All the pieces coming together make it sound like Darren Waller may have some troubles and they could be bleeding into the Raiders locker room. In Raiders news today, the Raiders placed All Pro running back Josh Jacobs on the franchise tag. What's the history on Super Bowl winning teams and what they pay their running backs? OJ Simpson released a video trying to recruit Lamar Jackson to the Raiders. Only one What Up, Windbags needed today!!

Episode 159 of The Autumn Windbags! Coming out one day early with RJ traveling for work. You're welcome! Question of the day: with the NFL Combine 2023 going down, we ask you which NFL combine event you would succeed at the most? The NFL Combine 2023 is a gumbo pot of players, coaches, owners, general managers, etc. Josh McDaniels has been making the media rounds at the NFL Combine. If the Raiders draft QB it will be a young player obviously. If Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler look for a veteran, he'll be older. So Josh McDaniels discussed whether he will pursue a young or older quarterback. The only quarterback on the roster currently is Chase Garbers. Josh McDaniels Raiders tenure is off to a rough start going 6-11 a season after the Raiders went 10-7. If the Raiders draft a quarterback, will Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis have the patience to allow Josh McDaniels to develop a young QB. The Raiders have a bunch of weapons to help a young player like NFL Pro Bowlers Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs. Former New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham played well in a back up role for the Raiders last season. Stidham is most likely going to be on the Raiders roster next season, but what if he is the week one starter? Raider Nation can't be happy. If the Raiders draft a quarterback in the top 7, they should be expected to start. The raiders have a god problem. NFL Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs had a career season becoming the NFL rushing leader. We are currently in the franchise tag window and the Raiders have yet to tag Jacobs. The Las Vegas raiders have four options: franchise tag and keep, franchise tag and trade, sign to long term deal or let him walk. In Raiders news, former Raiders Pro Bowl fullback Marcel Reese resigned as Raiders Senior VP. Does this signal continued turmoil in the raiders front office. Josh McDaniels was asked about Tom Brady retirement and said he is "at peace" and expects him to stay retired. In What Up, Windbags, the guys discuss crossing the line with Soto, incentive based contracts and flow of the show.

Welcome to episode 158 of The Autumn Windbags! This is the first full week with no NFL with the Super Bowl in the rear view mirror. So the question of the day is, what did you do with your first full weekend with NFL? The guys discuss XFL, old school football and Soto waiting four hours for cotton candy. Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler went on @BussinWithTheBoys to discuss multiple things. The big takeaway was Dave Ziegler saying, "... it doesn’t mean we’re going to have an immediate answer this year (at quarterback." The Windbags discuss if the draft will help, are the Raiders headed to quarterback purgatory and what we can learn from last season. Guest Marcus Johnson from @tapedontlie joined the Windbags! MJ addressed on what Derek Carr did and didn't do well last season and why Derek Carr and Josh McDaniels is a marriage that clearly doesn't work. Marcus Johnson discusses what future for the Raiders at quarterback will look like. The key is going young and keeping NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Davante Adams healthy. Dave Zielger is very good at predicting how a draft will play out so going young is important. Soto asks MJ about Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud and Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. MJ discusses CJ Stroud's ceiling. MJ believes he's a quality quarterback but is his ceiling as high as other prospects? MJ also addresses how much Davante Adams can bring the best out of Anthony Richardson. In free agent quarterbacks, Marcus Johnson discusses the possibilities of Jarret Stidham, Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback. Between Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs, how do the raiders skill players fit into a pending quarterback. Marcus Johnson thinks the Raiders offensive line can be good this season. He questions Dylan Parham moving around at the line. Andre James at center is still weird. Tom Cable ruined so many things on the line especially Alex Leatherwood. Derek Carr is projected to go to the Jets, Saints or Panthers. MJ thinks he belongs with the Panthers. In What Up, Windbags, the guys look at Mac Jones, Rex Ryan as defensive coordinator and why would Jimmy Garoppolo come to the Raiders?

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler is at the college football Senior Bowl. Dave Ziegler has a lot to handle with Raiders free agency. Ziegler spoke to @siriusxm about how the trade negotiations for Derek Carr have been going. Since Tom Brady retires, Carr's value should go up. Las Vegas Review Journal's Adam Hill joins the show. hill recently won the Nevada State Sportswriter of the Year!! Adam Hill reports that Tom Brady was the priority for the Raiders next quarterback. Adam Hill also predicts Jimmy Garoppolo Raiders could likely happen. Would Derek Carr fold to the rough New York media and is the Vegas media too nice? Adam Hill says Raiders owner Mark Davis is not as mad at the raiders' losing season because his WNBA team is doing so well. Adam Hill ends the interview talking about Raiders tailgating and the best Las Vegas strip clubs. Derek Carr is going back to the NFL Pro Bowl for the fourth time. The NFL released their 2023 franchise tag numbers. Running backs are due $10,091,000 which means retaining Josh Jacobs will not hurt that bad. Sean Payton has signed on to be the Denver Broncos next head coach. on What Up, Windbags, is RJ worth two cartons of Newports, will the Raiders bottom out in the AFC West and Carr's trade value.

Episode 154 of The Autumn Windbags!!! RJ discussed his trip to Brazil working UFC 283. Question of the day discusses the Kansas City Chiefs woman or was caught eating a baked potato she snuck into Arrowhead Stadium. So we ask the Raiders fans, Is the baked potato girl a hero or criminal? Raiders Tom Brady is still the big news as the weeks roll on. The NFL world is waiting for Tom Brady to answer multiple questions: is he going to play, will he stay at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, if not, where are you going? Jim Gray asked Tom Brady that question on their SiriusXM podcast and Brady snapped at him. The Las Vegas Raiders make sense for Tom Brady in some ways. Josh McDaniels is Brady's former offensive coordinator. The Raiders have great pass catchers in Davante Adams, Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow, all NFL Pro Bowlers. Also, Raiders owner Mark Davis wants him. The NFL quarterback market is a big NFL story every offseason and this is first time in a decade where the raiders will be involved. The Panthers, Commanders, Texans, Saints, Falcons, Colts, Jets, Titans and Raiders all need quarterbacks. The Packers may if Aaron Rodgers leaves. The Buccaneers may if Tom Brady leaves. And the rams may if Matthew Stafford leaves. Aaron Rodgers and the Raiders has been talked about this offseason as Rodgers could reunite with Davante Adams again. Derek Carr is the best free agent quarterback available if Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers stay put or retire. An ESPN report says that Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler will aggressively tweak the roster looking for culture fits. Other NFL teams will look at Pro Bowl pass catchers Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow. In Raiders news today, the Raiders signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson. Does this mean Tom Brady is coming to the raiders because he used to catch passes from him? Sean Payton will NOT be taking second interviews as an NFL head coach. This mean he likely won't be coach of the Denver Broncos next season but could he be the coach of the Los Angeles Chargers after next season? Dylan Parham was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team as the sixth guard taken in the draft. In What Up, Windbags, does Josh McDaniels not treat his players fairly, Raiders fans selling their tickets and how long can you say Happy New year?

The Autumn Windbags deliver episode 153 a day early as RJ travels to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! Now that the NFL Super Wild Card weekend is over, the question of the day asks what's the Super Bowl matchup you are rooting for? Soto wants to see Buffalo Bills vs New York Giants. RJ wants Cincinnati Bengals vs San Francisco 49ers. Sports Illustrated published a Hondo Carpenter Raiders article on the relationship between Derek Carr and Josh McDaniels plus insight on mark Davis and Rich Bisaccia's firing. The guys discuss how the media works in articles like this. Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs and Maxx Crosby responded to Josh McDaniels' style of coaching while the rank and file of the team did not. Derek Carr has played under some tough coaches like Jon Gruden and Jack Del Rio but he did not thrive under the hard coaching of Josh McDaniels. The same ting happened when Josh McDaniels was coach of the Denver Broncos. NFL Super Wild Card weekend was great. The most entertaining game for raiders fans was watching the Los Angeles Chargers and Brandon Staley blow a 27-point lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The worry was that the Chargers would fire Brandon Staley and hire someone better. In Raiders news, reports have come out that Brandon Staley will remain head coach of the Chargers but fire offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. This means that Brandon Staley will remain head coach during Sean Payton's job search and Justin Herbert's rookie contract. GREAT news for Raider Nation. Tom Brady and the Tampa Buccaneers fell to the Dallas Cowboys during wild card weekend. Tom Brady is now a free agent and is debating whether or not he plays and where he would play if so. Tom Brady going to the Raiders has been a major talking point for weeks with his connection to Josh McDaniels from their New England Patriots days. During the Tom Brady postgame interview, it sounded like Brady was saying goodbye. in What Up, Windbags the guys discuss how Mark Davis makes money at Allegiant Stadium, would fans support Brady to Raiders and what's wrong with the California state education system.
