Episode Details

Who Will Be King: NFC North Owners Meetings, Draft Pro Days, Bears Stadium Talk, and Lions Bonus Controversy — The hosts of “Who Will Be King” discuss NFC North news 23 days before the draft, including Vikings mournings for Jeff Siemon and Joey Browner, and a Bears signing of veteran safety Chuck Clark for depth and run defense. They recap annual league meetings in Phoenix: Chicago’s Ben Johnson emphasizes DB health, confidence in new center Garrett Bradbury, draft flexibility, higher expectations for Caleb Williams, and moving past last season; Minnesota cites a patient, cap-driven free-agency approach, QB competition talk around J.J. McCarthy, a center plan with Blake Brandel, picking up Jordan Addison’s fifth-year option, and unresolved trade/extension issues with Jonathan Greenard; Green Bay focuses on closing games, special teams, a base 3-4, and adds Javon Hargrave, Benjamin St-Juste, and Skyy Moore; Detroit discusses roster-building via extensions, getting younger, leadership transitions, and potential Sewell-to-left-tackle plans. They list team pro-day scouting targets, cover Bears stadium updates (Arlington Heights vs. Hammond, Indiana, May 31 legislative timing, $2B team contribution and $800M sought), mention a Rams/Eagles Adams–A.J. Brown trade rumor that didn’t happen, and detail Lions criticism over withholding part of Frank Ragnow’s bonus.
