The NHL's trade market is heating up in the middle of January, as several teams have a pretty good sense where they stand as a buyer or a seller. Several general managers are busy trying to make changes to their roster and it's expected we'll see a flurry of trades before the Olympic roster freeze in February.

I know that the season’s over, but I still wanted to briefly break down this last game, as I thought it was interesting to see Vic Fangio vs. Kyle Shanahan. While the defense didn’t have their best night, this was far from a unit collapsing or getting exposed. This felt like a group that had […]
Ozzy Trapilo was making progress with each passing week before his season-ending injury against the Green Bay Packers in the Chicago Bears’ win on wild-card weekend, which is why it hurts knowing that he won’t play in the team’s NFC Divisional Round game agaimst the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie second-round pick made six starts at left tackle in the regular season before making his playoff debut last week. In his 567 regular-season snaps, Pro Football Focus had Ozzy Trapilo earning a 72.5...
Miami Dolphin's DC Anthony Weaver has gotten multiple interviews for open jobs across the NFL, and the latest rumor surrounding him is the most notable yet.
The New York Giants have hired John Harbaugh. Congratulations! Do they know that they’re only getting John Harbaugh? That they’re not also getting the Baltimore Ravens talent machine? Harbaugh was for many people the top head coach available. A Super Bowl winner, a 13-11 playoff record, in 18 years had 13 winning seasons, 12 playoff […]
The New England Patriots continued work on the Houston Texans with perfect attendance.

The saga about whether the San Francisco 49ers will have Fred Warner has driven the conversation all week. Kyle Shanahan’s gamesmanship, paired with videos of Warner, has led many to speculate that he’ll play this Saturday. On Thursday, Warner was seen at practice.

On Thursday, Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star reported the Chiefs have fired running backs coach Todd Pinkston and wide receivers Connor Embree. […]
Teams that draft outside of the top fifteen or twenty spots have far less freedom to target positions of need than rebuilding teams. Instead, they must take the best players that fall to them while keeping in mind roster weaknesses. They must also leverage redundancies on their roster by trading away older and higher-paid players […]

After remaining relatively healthy for much of the season, injuries to Quentin Lake and Kevin Dotson created a speed bump in the middle of what was an otherwise strong season.

When long-time Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements (2006-2016, 2022-2024) retired after last season, head coach Matt LaFleur filled the vacancy by hiring Sean Mannion to the role.

The San Francisco 49ers are facing the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in two weeks on Saturday, this time at Lumen Field as they hope for a different result than their 13-3 loss in Week 18.
