From the episode

I can't help but notice the career of Rico Dowdle that started in Dallas with Mike McCarthy, who kept Dowdle around for several years, even when Dowdle was hurt, and then gave Dowdle a major opportunity in 2024 that helped Dowdle get paid in 2025 when McCarthy was out of the league. And now here we are in 2026, Dowdle one of the first acquisitions that Mike McCarthy has when he goes to Pittsburgh.

Rico Dowdle has a strong connection with new Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy, who kept him around for several years in Dallas and gave him a major opportunity in 2024 that led to his 2025 contract, suggesting McCarthy values his abilities.
