CHRIS SIMMS: Yo, yo, Tank, what's up? I got a good combo for you today, OK? A lot of rumors swirling about OBJ. Will he be in Cleveland next year? So we're going to go through a little of conversation. I got a top three destinations for OBJ to be traded to this offseason, all right?

I want to throw out just-- well, I won't even get there. I'll just get to my list. And we'll converse say it after, OK?

TANK WILLIAMS: All right, all right.

CHRIS SIMMS: Here-- here we go, number three. I'm going with the New England Patriots as the number three team.

TANK WILLIAMS: You already messed up. You already messed up. But keep it going.

CHRIS SIMMS: Be quiet. It's my list. Wait till I finish. Number three, I'm going with the New England Patriots with or without Tom Brady next year. They've got a young kid they like, Jarrett Stidham him. So they're going to want to make him flourish as well if he does take over for Tom Brady. And we know they could use some help at wide receiver, all right?

TANK WILLIAMS: Yeah, a little bit.

CHRIS SIMMS: Number two, did you watch "Monday Night Football" this past week? Did you watch the Philadelphia Eagles? Holy cow. I think you and I can beat some of those receivers in a race, all right? They need some help. And if you're going to invest all that money into Carson Wentz, wouldn't you think you'd want to put some support system around him to make your investment look good?

And you can get back at the Giants and be like, look, we took your old toy.

TANK WILLIAMS: Yeah, that's what I like the most.

CHRIS SIMMS: And screw you, we one-upped you.

TANK WILLIAMS: Yeah.

CHRIS SIMMS: Right? Yeah, you like that one. I knew you would.

OK, and then my number one, I want the Green Bay Packers to trade for Odell Beckham Jr.

TANK WILLIAMS: Mm-hmm.

CHRIS SIMMS: Come on. Oh, I mean, Aaron Rodgers I think is the greatest quarterback to ever live. I love Odell. You put them together with a Davante Adams, they're in the Super Bowl window right now. They just need a few pieces here and there. Please go get OBJ, Green Bay. What do you think?

TANK WILLIAMS: See, we're playing in the same ballpark. But let's get to one that I feel you left out that deserves to be in the top three, and that's my number two, which is the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, the NFL and the Chargers need a high-profile star in the City of Angels. And how else are you going to get seats into the new stadium without Odell?

I mean, dog, this dude is a superstar. He's going to be running around town with LeBron. He's going to be in commercials, like cameos in movies, TV shows. Like, that's the kind of star power that the Chargers and the NFL needs. So somehow, some way, they're going to get OBJ to LA. So I think he belongs at number two.

Number one should be the New England Patriots, because, hey, Tom Brady only has so many years. So we see how that offense is struggling now.

And number three, I think it's the Cowboys, because like, Amari Cooper balled out last year. He was playing well this year before he got hurt. But for some reason, Jerry Jones is dragging his feet after-- after, you know, giving up a number one pick to the Raiders to go get this dude.

So I'm thinking that Odell only makes $15 mil a year. If he signs Amari, it's going to probably be more than 15. How about you let Amari walk? You bring OBJ to your team, the most valuable team in the world. You pair him up with Dak Prescott and Zeke, hey, dog, I don't know, that looks kind of nice to me. And you get to play against your Giants twice a year.

CHRIS SIMMS: I'll give you credit. I didn't think of the Dallas one. I kind of like where your head's at there. That-- I mean, that would be unbelievable to see it happen.

I'm not mad at you for putting New England number one, I'm not. I hear you. I mean, I get the logic behind it all the way. Whether this is Brady's last season or next year's the last season, it makes sense either way.

Now, I want to get back to your other one you talked about, because I did-- I just left this team off my list, the Chargers. You talked about it. My only question of why I left them off the list was the quarterback. I just look at the quarterback situation, and I don't know what's going to happen.

TANK WILLIAMS: Oh, it's going to be Cam Newton.

CHRIS SIMMS: I'm pretty sure this'll be it for Phillip Rivers.

TANK WILLIAMS: It's going to be Cam Newton and OBJ in LA. Ooh, how you love that.

CHRIS SIMMS: Ooh, you're hot today, baby. You are hot. OK, I could get behind that. That might actually be now my number two. It doesn't beat Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers and OBJ. But that might be my number two.

TANK WILLIAMS: So I had Green Bay on my list. But the only reason they fell to number four is because they don't play in a big, you know, media market. Like, you know, A-Rod has all the pool, you know. And he's had cameos on "Game of Thrones" and all that stuff. But I feel like OBJ, he wants the ball out. He wants to prove that he's one of the best wide receivers between the white lines.

But I'm telling you, like, everything that happens off the field is just as important to him. And so that's why I put New England-- even though New England, you're in that Boston market, not as good as New York or LA. But you get to play with the GOAT. And you see what the GOAT did for Julian Edelman as far as endorsement deals and people knowing how-- knowing who he is. And so just imagine OBJ and TB playing together. Man, dog, that could be something special.

CHRIS SIMMS: OK, I like where your head's at, Tank, AKA creator.

TANK WILLIAMS: [LAUGHS]
