Bomani Jones is joined by Dominique Foxworth to talk through one of the wildest stretches of the NFL offseason.

They break down Lamar Jackson showing up, what that says about his leverage in Baltimore, and why the Ravens still have to treat him like the franchise. They also get into the Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini news, what to make of that story, and why it blew up across sports media.

Plus, they discuss whether Aaron Rodgers makes any sense for the Steelers, what the Browns are doing, some NFL Draft talk, and why athletes seem way less willing to speak on larger issues now than they were a few years ago.
