Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) A closer look at the Washington Commanders’ roster after the NFL Draft Edge rusher This is where the Commanders have focused much of their attention — and money — during the offseason. They certainly got younger and more athletic, but the group lacks long-term depth, which means they’ll be […]
A lot of NFL pundits make their draft predictions and then run when they’re wrong. Not me! I think it can be hilarious to see how poorly I did. If you’re new to my work, I base my draft predictions on analyzing the visits the Buffalo Bills have had with players and seeing if time […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing quarterback/wide receiver John Rhys Plumlee, Aaron Wilson reports. Plumlee signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft out of UCF, where he accounted for 20 total touchdowns in his final collegiate season. Plumlee has also spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks. […]
The New England Patriots have opened a spot in the backfield following the 2026 NFL draft. The organization announced the release of veteran running back Elijah Mitchell on Tuesday, as previously reported by Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed. Mitchell, 27, had circled back to Gillette Stadium to sign a futures contract after Super Bowl LX. He […]
The Las Vegas Raiders accomplished a lot as they selected 10 players in the 2026 NFL draft last weekend. Still, they do still have some potential needs before the start of the season. Let’s look at some: Defensive tackle: Yes, the Raiders drafted nose tackle Brandon Cleveland in the seventh round. Still, I’d like to […]
The San Francisco 49ers did not add a safety during the NFL Draft. During his post-draft presser, general manager John Lynch said: “As for not drafting a safety, there were some guys that came off and, look, this thing’s still going on, we’ve got some free agents and all that. We’ve got a group that […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! I recently gave you a blow-by-blow of Dillon Thieneman’s press conference after being selected by the Bears in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft at pick number 25. Now I’m going to peruse through the Bears’ selections on day 2 – the second and third rounds of the draft. […]
Now, this is an interesting selection for New Orleans. The main reason I think Hall is still available is his speed, which is a major issue in his game, but for the Saints, he could be a real starting CB. Hall is really good in zone coverage, which is a specialty of Brandon Staley’s scheme, […]
Over the next few months, we’ll be breaking down all of the rookies added by the Jets during the draft and as undrafted free agents. We begin today with wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. The 22-year old Cooper is listed at 6’0” and 199 pounds and was the 30th overall pick out of Indiana. Cooper […]

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans to grade the team’s 2026 NFL Draft. Over half of the respondents gave Jacksonville a “D” or “F” grade. The Jaguars’ draft wasn’t very well received by national media, either. If draft grades mattered, the Jags would be in danger of dropping out of the league. Even with […]
The Dallas Cowboys have been extremely busy since the 2025 season ended. Thankfully that campaign feels like forever ago now, although a lot is going to have to happen for us to fully forget how miserable the defense was. Christian Parker is here now as the defensive coordinator and seems to have enough support to […]
The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of the Houston Texans and the 2026 NFL Draft. Zaniness in the 1st Round…yep: With all the mock […]
I’m about to break conventions of journalism a bit here, but everyone else is doing it, so why not? I’m not supposed to play favorites when it comes to talking about players I am supposed to cover in an objective manner. It could impact my ability to stay impartial or view things clearly. But it’s […]
After months of speculation and no process, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally got one step closer to signing Aaron Rodgers. Per Adam Schefter, the Steelers placed the right-of-first refusal tender on the four-time MVP. “The Steelers placed the rare right-of-first-refusal tender on Aaron Rodgers, meaning that he can accept a 10 percent raise off last year’s […]
After being selected in the fifth round (pick 176) of last weekend’s NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs will be the fourth football program in four years for wide receiver Cyrus Allen. On Monday, Chiefs Vice President of Personnel Ryne Nutt discussed how the team landed on Allen, who played for Louisiana Tech, Texas A&M, […]
The Colts drafted CJ Allen in the second round of the NFL Draft. With a strong desire to get younger and faster on the defensive side of the ball the Colts found a tough, physical MIKE linebacker who can be the green dot of the future. We’ll break down some of the tape, but I […]
A special event is happening at the Las Vegas Raiders’ Henderson Nevada headquarters next week and it a perfect location and host. The inaugural Hispanic Football Hall of Fame will held its induction ceremony and honor Pro and college players of the year. The event will be held on May 5, which, of course, is […]
The idea of a blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys involving George Pickens may have seemed far-fetched just months ago. But as the dust settles from the 2026 NFL Draft and contract realities begin to take shape, the framework for a potential partnership could take shape. Factor #1: Rams still […]
Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had some time to evaluate the entire process, I think the New Orleans Saints did a great job in the draft and had a clear vision with a patient approach. They never got aggressive or attempted to move up. If anything, they played the board and used […]
Draft data exposes troubling trends in the Miami Dolphins’ 2026 class, but fans shouldn’t panic just yet.
The Bills lost in Denver, 33-30. Overtime. Five turnovers. A Josh Allen fumble, a James Cook fumble, and a Brandin Cooks “interception” in OT that, honestly, you could argue both ways until you’re blue in the face. It was painful, it was messy, and yes — it was on no one other than the Bills. […]
