The AFC North swing brings in local voices from Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, with Ravens reporter Bob Haynie downplaying any urgency around a Lamar Jackson extension despite his massive incoming cap number. In Cincinnati, Mo Egger frames this as a put-up-or-shut-up year for Joe Burrow now that the roster's been fully loaded around him, while also breaking down why analytics writers hated the Dexter Lawrence trade. Pittsburgh's Andrew Fillipponi digs into whether Aaron Rodgers ever really fit the city and previews a crowded Steelers quarterback room under new coach Mike McCarthy. Two of the three guests side with Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders when asked who should start for the Browns.
