The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of opportunity to bolster their roster this offseason, as they’ll have ample cap space to make moves if desired, while also holding seven projected draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the 49ers do have a couple of holes to address (pass rush among them), it could […]
If the Rams decide to keep Xavier Smith as the punt returner and WR #5, it won’t be difficult. As an Exclusive Rights Free Agent, for all intents and purposes, he’s tied to the Rams unless they want to dismiss him. Smith hasn’t been bad in L.A., actually a decent value, but he’s never really […]

I think all Green Bay Packers fans realize we’re not getting much bang for our buck from the 2025 free agent class. Usually, free agency is a bad bet. Teams just don’t allow good, healthy players to hit the open market often, especially in an era where cash spending is so much higher than the […]

Soon after the Miami Dolphins announced Sean Duggan as the team's next defensive coordinator, former DC Anthony Weaver agreed to terms with a new team.
It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...
Steelers News Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell appears unlikely to return to the team when free agency opens next month.

I am ready to follow any and all Trey Hendrickson rumors this offseason. Fans who support 30 of the NFL’s 32 teams are in offseason mode. And after the type of season the Chicago Bears just had, it feels like everyone has their general manager caps on with hopes of devising a plan to make this team better in 2026. As you might expect, many plans involve adding an impact pass-rusher to the mix. More specifically, Hendrickson. Over at Pro Football Focus, Mason Cameron has the best land...
It’s Super Bowl week, which means it is time for the annual EA Sports Madden NFL 26 Simulation of the big game.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, boasting eight Super Bowl appearances and five championships.

The San Francisco 49ers ended up trading a fifth-round pick for Bryce Huff to the Philadelphia Eagles. While Huff remains under contract for another season, he, like many others on the Niners defense, has zero ties to new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. The 49ers wanted Huff to complement Nick Bosa and take the pass rush […]
