Free Agency Rumors, NFL Players as Pokemon & Rich Eisen | New Heights | Ep 32
92%ers we are back with episode thirty-two of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball.
In this episode, we have a huge announcement! On April 26th we will be bringing you “New Heights Live” a one-night-only event at the Kansas City Music Hall. Tickets will be available for purchase via Ticketmaster starting Friday, March 24, 2023, at 10:00 am.

We also revisit our NFL/Harry Potter debate from last week, look at some of the hysterical tweets you sent us about the segment, and reveal Travis’ official sorting hat results.
When we finally talk football, Travis gives us his thoughts on all the Chiefs free agency moves like signing Charles Omenihu, Orlando Brown heading to Cincy, and how he thinks Juju will fit in on the Patriots.
Jason also reacts to the Eagles finally signing Marcus Mariota, Darius Slay giving Philly the Okie doke, and the media frenzy that has been C. J. Gardner-Johnson signing with the Lions.
The guys also weigh in on players repping themselves, how they recruit guys to their teams, their favorite free agency moves so far, and the wild rumors of Philadelphia's draft and Patrick Mahomes’ Twitter likes.
This episode also includes Jason’s incredible conversation with NFL Network’s Rich Eisen. We touch on how Rich really feels about player podcasts, why the combine is the best-drunk gossip, how he almost botched his first Sportscenter, what he will say to Ohio State fans this year, and why he loves Jalen Hurts so much.
As always, watch and listen to new episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce every Wednesday & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.
