  • Awesome Podcast!

    Do yourself a favor and tune in to this “thinking man’s” podcast. Truly unique analysts from a super smart and experienced NFL Exec. If I’m an NFL Owner and tuned into this podcast, I’d hire Andrew in a second to be my President of Football Ops!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cliff Stein: Former Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the Chicago Bears
Q: What is the core advice you give to young negotiators?
Be prepared, listen more than you talk, and strive to leave the other party feeling respected and empowered, because relationships matter far more than any single deal.
Cliff Stein: Former Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the Chicago Bears
Q: What were the biggest differences you noticed between negotiating for pros versus college athletes?
In the pros, leverage is concentrated on a few players, while in college there are many more moving parts, with transfer rules and NIL dynamics adding complexity and urgency to protect both sides.
Cliff Stein: Former Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the Chicago Bears
Q: How did you balance treating players fairly with the broader roster needs when you were negotiating as a team executive?
You work to keep the long-term roster in mind, avoid special favors that create lines at your door, and aim for consistency so every player's deal fits into a larger, sustainable plan.
Ross Tucker - Jerry Jones' comments, the NFLPA, & hold-outs vs. hold-ins
Q: Do you think the NFLPA not being as strong as those other unions is in some part responsible for the unbelievable popularity of the NFL?
I think that there's some deficiencies with NFLPA representation. Those deficiencies do not seem to impact the popularity of the sport.
Ask Andrew: Meet Andrew Brandt!
Q: What was kind of like the highlight for you that may be unrelated to on field success?
Brandt highlights his approach as a cap manager, avoiding pushing out future cap expenses, and making decisions that positively impacted the Packers' long term.
