3 & Out - DJ Moore traded to Bills, Cowboys interested in Maxx Crosby, NFL Pre-free agency

What’s up everybody—big week on Three and Out. Bills nab a wideout, the Max Crosby drum keeps beating, Fugazi Friday brings a cheeseburger curveball, and we hit a packed mailbag, so buckle up.

On the Bills–DJ Moore deal, don’t get hung up on the words second‑round pick. Pick 60 is closer to a third than a premium second, and Buffalo is in win‑now mode, so the math checks out.

Moore with Josh Allen is clean. Joe Brady knows him from Carolina, loves Keon Coleman, Kahlil Shakir is sneaky good, and Moore can handle the cold and volume—eighty to ninety catches is realistic.

From Chicago’s side, his role was shrinking after investing in tight ends and young receivers like Rome and Luther Burden. They clear money, pick late in the second for defense or center, and address left tackle after the Achilles injury.

Crosby chatter: if you’re a player away, two firsts for an elite edge makes sense. Dallas should probably resist the splash, shop free agency, draft defense, and kick the tires on Trey Hendrickson instead.

Cam Jordan’s ironman run is wild—two missed games in fifteen years—and good teams may pay a little extra for that leadership. In free agency you overpay to buy solid starters without spending picks, and yes, every front office is ‘monitoring’ everything by design.

Fugazi Friday: the McDonald’s CEO promo where he barely bites the burger was a miss. Put a guy on camera who crushes fries and smiles, not someone who looks like he lives on smoothies and Peloton.

Mailbag—why would the Bears move a number one before Rome and Burden are ready? Because the scheme can funnel targets to two tight ends to lighten the load, the kids can grow into bigger roles, and you can win with two strong number twos if the defense improves.

Raiders fans on the media pushing Max out: slow news cycles amplify rumors, and Glazer’s report lit the fuse. Vegas is a couple years away, so if two firsts appear, it’s painful but logical.

Global games and ‘world champions’—I’ve rolled my eyes, but as the league goes international it weirdly fits. Niners–Rams in Australia will be a scene.

Moving to Half Moon Bay—soak it in. It’s pricey but gorgeous; surf is real but cold and sharky; take trips to Tahoe, Yosemite, the Central Coast, and San Diego, and if you love Tahoe, Incline Village and Edgewood are both awesome.

Kyler vs. Daniel Jones: five-play highlights aren’t football. If healthy I’d lean Jones for steadier downs, but injuries cloud both; Chiefs could go offensive line early and add a speed back later.

On mentors and growth, I learned by osmosis around people like Pat Hill, Andy Reid, Howie Roseman, and Colin. The through lines are consistency, energy, and a stable home base.

Are elite edges overpaid? Not when paired with a real offense. Garrett, Watt, and Crosby still tilt games; their teams’ quarterback issues just hid it.

Peptides update: trying BPC and CJC, early days; reminds me of chasing Andro as a teen and learning the hard way that work beats magic powder.

Angels fans and ownership: I get the rage, but they’ve also spent huge on stars that backfired. Baseball’s economics are messy and uneven, which makes it even more maddening.

Jalen Hurts doesn’t need to be a party guy; he needs the huddle’s trust. With vets gone, this offseason is about bonding and ownership of the locker room while the offense resets.

Appreciate you all—DMs are open, enjoy the weekend, and we’ll be back next week.
