There’s never really dull moment in the NFL, but I’ll play devil’s advocate to myself by saying that right now is a bit of a dull moment in the NFL (no complaints from me), so a big talking point at this time is speculating on which teams will target who in free agency, and of […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) have sharply fallen out of the play-in race, seven games behind the 10th-place Los Angeles Clippers in the West. As Dallas enters the final third of the season, the Mavericks are looking to snap a nine-game losing streak. As play-in hopes continue to dwindle, the Mavericks will take a serious look […]

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the Los Angeles Rams sit in a position that demands both clarity and boldness. After recent seasons of uneven performance, LA’s front office must balance immediate impact with long-term roster building. Fortunately, a handful of elite prospects—each with the potential to become difference-makers at the professional level—would fit perfectly […]
Outside of signing free agents from other teams, the Los Angeles Rams will need to decide which of their own free agents they would like back in 2026. After extending Nate Landman and Quentin Lake during the season, that list is much shorter than it would have been if the Rams had waited. The Athletic […]
A franchise and its biggest star need to be aligned, and it appears the Lakers have that with Luka Dončić. The Lakers traded for him last February, and he showed that he wanted to stay here by signing an extension in the summer. Since then, every move has been about building around Luka and maintaining […]
If there was any kind of bright spot along the interior of the offensive line in 2025, it was that Zion Johnson took a step forward as a run blocker. He was one of the best in the NFL, in fact, but that did not matter when those playing around him were consistently amongst the […]

Is it any surprise that Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua find themselves atop some of the highest position scores as graded by Pro Football Focus?
