On negotiations with Alec Pierce and Daniel Jones with the new league year starting soon. ”Yep, good. I’ve had great discussions with both of them. We will continue to work this week and see if we get something done. It’s been very positive. Look when both sides are driven to get it done, it usually […]
Trying to explain the compensation pick formula and cancellation structure is probably the most convoluted thing the NFL has to offer. You think option bonuses are confusing? Compensation picks take on an entirely different life form that frankly puts the intricacies of the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement to shame. If you want a deep dive […]
The Cleveland Browns have waited four years to see if quarterback Deshaun Watson can return to the form he flashed in Houston. In three seasons as the full-time starter for the Texans, Watson averaged 4,280 passing yards, 28 touchdown passes, five rushing touchdowns, and completed 68.7 percent of his passes. That version of Watson, sadly, […]

With a little guidance from our good friend Anthony (Between the Numbers)—who helps us create the Grit Index each year—I will be spending the media sessions at the NFL Combine this week with draft prospects who are deemed high-character players. The Detroit Lions often say they can tell the football character and IQ of a […]
As the Kansas City Chiefs shift fully into offseason mode, general manager Brett Veach is in unfamiliar territory with a top-10 pick. After years of selecting near the bottom of the first round, often at No. 31 or No. 32 following deep playoff runs, Kansas City now finds itself at No. 9. Veach admitted the […]
Since the Chicago Bears’ season ended, the debate has swirled around DJ Moore. Moore’s future with the Bears has been in question, not just because of the controversy around Caleb Williams’ final pass of the season (that was, of course, intercepted), but also because Moore carries a heavy caphit of $28 million for the 2026 […]
The San Francisco 49ers are fully in offseason mode, with the NFL Combine starting up this week and free agency soon to follow. After a 13-win year that included a playoff win, the 49ers are in a good spot to grow this offseason, having the resources to spend in free agency, while also having seven […]
After he spent most of the 2025 season as play caller, the New England Patriots officially promoted Zak Kuhr from inside linebackers coach to defensive coordinator earlier this month. Meanwhile, Kuhr’s predecessor as DC, Terrell Williams, has moved to a different position on staff. Speaking to the media for the first time since the change, […]
You know how big a storyline it is that the Chicago Bears need help on the defensive line? Even the defensive front prospects were talking about it at the podium on Wednesday ahead of their highly anticipated workouts on Thursday. Ohio State’s Kayden McDonald, who gets mock-drafted to the Bears in seemingly one new national […]
A lot of people are asking you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears these days. Apparently, Brian Gutekunst is among them.

If you’re a regular reader of Blogging The Boys, you’re probably familiar with a metric called Approximate Value. If not, consider this post your introduction. We’ve used Approximate Value (AV) and the closely related Weighted Approximate Value (wAV) on and off for more than a decade, and particularly often during our draft coverage. As we […]
The Cleveland Browns need to win football games, not the press conferences. For now, besides rumors, press conferences are all we have; games will not be played for a little over six months. On Tuesday at the NFL combine, that was GM Andrew Berry talking about what he is looking for on the offensive line, […]
Yesterday, the Brewers finally picked up their first Cactus League win behind Tyler Black’s six (!!) RBIs. They’ll be looking to make it two straight in today’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants, who haven’t lost a game yet this spring. Carlos Rodriguez, who appeared in four games last year, will be on the mound […]

New Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak told Las Vegas reporters at the NFL Combine on Wednesday that the team will move from a 4-3 to a 3-4 base defense under Leonard. That means their base defense will […]
Mike Tomlin shocked many when he stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach on Jan. 13 after 19 seasons with the team. The Steelers moved quickly by hiring Mike McCarthy, but the impact that Tomlin had on the league will last for years to come. At the 2026 NFL Combine, Behind the Steel Curtain […]
As we talk about the San Francisco 49ers contract situation with left tackle Trent Williams, it only makes sense to discuss potential options at the end of the first round, or if they trade out to acquire more picks—or trade up if there’s a player they covet—to be the potential heir to their future Hall […]
The NFL is slowly revealing parts of the 2026 season, including many of the international games.

Heading into 2026, the Los Angeles Rams are once again in position to take a more ‘all in’ approach if that’s something that they choose to do. It’s a different spot than where the Rams have been over the last few years when the goal has been to re-tool the roster while remaining competitive. With […]
