The last 9 spots: Why Cowboys roster projections go wrong
Every year at around this time, the first 53-man roster projections pop up. And (almost) every year we dutifully chronicle those first roster projections here on BTB.

There are fewer “elite” QBs in the NFL than you’ve been told
We’ve become surprisingly casual with the word “elite.” One of the most common shortcuts for “elite QBs” in the NFL is counting Super Bowl rings. That may have worked forty years ago.

Why 2025 NFC East standings are a bad predictor of 2026 standings
Every summer, NFL fans ask the same question: How good will my team be this year? The answers usually fall into one of two camps. One side points to free agency, the draft, and coaching changes.
