And Marty, we begin this Thursday edition of the podcast with another NFC East team.
Last week we were talking about my team, the Cowboys, making the late night trade for Joey Porter Jr.
This week, you know, we're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles and what has been a rough couple of weeks for the Eagles.
We'll outline all the injuries, where things currently stand as they head to London this weekend to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
But the big news from earlier this week was the Eagles losing their right tackle Lane Johnson, who announced his retirement after 14 seasons, citing he wanted to focus on his mental health as the reason why.
And, uh, it's a big one for the Philadelphia Eagles, who are already struggling up front protecting Jalen Hurts and open up some holes for that run game.
And not only, Femi, does it have implications this year because he, they won't have him in the lineup, but salary implications next year.
And I think that this is such an intriguing, um, example to look at as far as what the elite general managers, and Howie Roseman is an elite general manager.

Because with Lane Johnson retiring, um, they can do some things, but one way or the other it's gonna have salary cap implications.
They will either kind of delay the process of him officially retiring until after June 1 of '27.
See, with a guy like Lane Johnson, you have given him signing bonuses and option bonuses.
