The White Sox spent a little bit in the offseason and acquired a fun player from Japan who has slugged the franchise back into relevance. As fun as it has been to see that the literal Pope of the Roman Catholic church is a White Sox fan, Munetaka Murakami’s fast rise in 2026 has dragged […]
If any of you were wondering what happened to this year’s sports economics conference at University of Maryland Baltimore County, it moved from April to June, so it hasn’t happened yet. I just booked my trip, so FoS readers can expect a liveblog on the day of stadium-related papers, at least. And if you’ll be […]
The Las Vegas Raiders’ schedule was released recently and for our Tuesday Community Question, we asked our community members which game on the schedule that shouldn’t worry them, but it does, anyway. I get the common theme. It’s Week 1 at home against the Miami Dolphins. It’s a very winnable game for the Silver and […]
Many viewed the Kyle Louis pick in the fourth round as a steal for the Miami Dolphins, and yet another outlet is on the bandwagon.
In Part 1 of our two-piece installment, we covered the back-half of the league (Nos. 17-32), which included a few surprising names for some. While it’s impossible to project rookie seasons and Year 2 leaps from some of the younger players on this list, the top half of the league is a little easier to […]
To provide all-world quarterback Josh Allen with more help at wide receiver, Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane went out and traded for DJ Moore. While Allen and Moore have a friendship going back to when they were rookies selected by the Bills and Carolina Panthers in the 2018 NFL Draft, they […]
On Friday morning, Brad Biggs was the first to report that Kyler Gordon has not participated in the Chicago Bears’ offseason program due to a soft-tissue injury. This may seem like deja vu for Chicago, who have seen Gordon’s health be a consistent issue throughout his career. Gordon, a 2nd-round pick in 2022 and the […]

The Las Vegas Raiders signed linebacker Cameron McGrone as a free agent recently. Let’s take a closer look at McGrone: Size: 6-1, 236 pounds. NFL experience: He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fifth round in 2021. He spent that season on the injured reserve. He spent most of the 2022 season […]
Training camp roster battles are basically a myth. A team’s roster is basically set by the time the dust settles after the first week of free agency, and whatever details need to be sorted out are pretty much taken care of by the end of the NFL Draft. The idea that someone comes out of […]
Just a little over a week stands between the Dallas Cowboys and the start of 2026 OTAs. While the offseason has not fully come to an end, Dallas and the other 31 NFL franchises have made almost all of the significant moves they will make before the start of training camp. Dallas’ roster looks significantly […]
I’ll never forget the run the Kansas City Chiefs went on in 2023. It was unlike anything I’ve seen in this dynasty. The defense took its game to an entirely new level. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ postseason performance was that of a legend. Beating the Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens on the road would have […]
It wouldn’t be surprising if we get to the middle of the season and multiple members from the San Francisco 49ers’ rookie class have carved out a role in their first year. De’Zhaun Stribling is predicted to fill the Jauan Jennings void, although I believe he’s closer to the mold and production of Deebo Samuel. […]
Full disclosure, when it comes to the “Which came first” query that is transferred from the chicken or the egg to coverage or pass rush, I always pick pass rush. I believe that an active pass rush can make a secondary look better than they actually are. I am not always convinced that the inverse […]

After Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, the experience of the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver room gets thin really quickly. As of today, 2024 Round 6 draft pick Jordan Whittington has the inside track for WR#3. He has nine starts and 700+ offensive snaps under his belt. Working in his favor is the Rams recent […]
Let’s face it; Ashton Jeanty’s rookie season didn’t go quite as expected. Big immediate things were anticipated from the Boise State running back when the Las Vegas Raiders selected him with the No. 6 overall draft pick in 2025. Yet, Jeanty had his struggles at times. Yes, his offensive coaching staff and his offensvie line […]
Arsenal ended a two-decade title drought by trusting a plan and refusing to rush it. The parallels to the Rangers are hard to ignore, and they make the case for why Drury is right not to put a timeline on the retool—and what he needs to get right to make it pay off.
The Miami Dolphins' defense is starting to take shape. The NFL Draft provided the team with building blocks, but some players shouldn't be cast aside just yet.
Through the spring and summer, we will be counting down the Jets roster player by player. We begin the series by discussing Payton Page. Name: Payton Page Number: 98 Year With Jets: 2nd Projected Role: Developmental defensive tackle His 2025: Page went undrafted and signed with the Jets as a free agent. He didn’t make the final cuts and signed […]
For years, the Seattle Seahawks built a clear draft identity around experience. Seattle consistently leaned toward seniors, team captains, older prospects, and players with massive collegiate résumés. The franchise historically valued maturity, durability, leadership, and prospects who had already accumulated years of starting reps before entering the NFL. That has been changing for a few […]
Before we get to the Astros, a note: The Cubs moved half a game ahead of the Cardinals into second place in the NL Central when St. Louis lost to Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Astros started the year 6-3, but since then have gone 14-28. Only the Angels (13-28) are worse over that span. So […]
During the dog days of May, when the biggest story is whether or not the undrafted free agent quarterback from Minnesota State University Moorhead will crack the 53-man roster, all 18 weeks feel like must-see TV for NFL fans. The anticipation of seeing football again after months without it gives the first few regular-season games […]
The Kansas City Chiefs have long focused on building through the draft and have supplemented the roster with selective free-agent moves. It was a winning formula up until last season, when the NFL’s designed model for parity finally caught up with the NFL’s best team over the last decade. Even with the Chiefs coming off […]
Since the Marshon Lattimore trade during the 2024 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints have had glaring holes in the secondary. Since then, New Orleans has let Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor walk for big contracts elsewhere and seen the retirement of NFL legend Tyran Mathieu. Sure, they’ve made solid additions, signing Justin Reid and […]
