One of the biggest questions coming out of the L.A. Rams draft was not who they drafted, but who they didn’t draft: The Rams did add a receiver in the sixth round, long after the league tends to stop finding starters, but where L.A. would have to turn for depth at the position next season […]
The red-hot St. Louis Cardinals will attempt to sweep away the Los Angeles Billionaires Dodgers at Busch Stadium on Sunday. In the most appropriate jersey number meets day on the calendar, Dustin May (#3) will start for St. Louis while the evil empire Dodgers will send Justin Wrobleski to the mound. First pitch scheduled for […]
A miserable road trip is about to come to an end. The San Francisco Giants are in Florida taking on the Tampa Bay Rays for some breakfast baseball (for us watching from the west coast, that is … it’s the less appealing and less alliterative lunch baseball where the game is), and they’re hoping to […]
Now that the dust has settled on the 2026 NFL Draft, the next major story-line for this off-season will be the release of this year’s schedule. It is always a time of year that is met with much anticipation for Bills fans, but there is certainly something a bit extra this year with the opening […]
Not all Dallas Cowboys fans are happy with the team’s current options at tight end, but Brian Schottenheimer doesn’t seem to agree. During a Saturday press conference at the team’s rookie minicamp, Dallas’ head coach praised the overall group while discussing some of the rookies participating in the current practices. Schottenheimer was asked about early […]
Apparently, when John Spytek identified the safety as a critical need for his team and said the 2026 NFL Draft class was very good and deep at the particular position, the Las Vegas Raiders general manager wasn’t fibbing. So much so, that the Silver & Black went to the Arizona Wildcats well twice in said […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is just over a week in the rearview mirror, but for those of you who have been around Windy City Gridiron for long enough, you know how much of a sicko I can be when it comes to a good mock draft. Between my work here and my job at PFSN, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers addressed multiple positions of need in the NFL Draft, selecting two offensive linemen, a wide receiver, and a quarterback within the first 100 picks. The one position they (surprisingly) didn’t address, though, was inside linebacker. With Patrick Queen entering the final year of his deal, and Payton Wilson having yet to show […]
Last season, the Los Angeles Rams made expansive use of two and three tight end formations. By drafting Max Klare in Round 2 and signing two promising tight ends from the undrafted ranks, Dan Villari and Rohan Jones, it appears as if these multi-tight end sets are the plan of attack going forward. As the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers released QB/WR John Rhys Plumlee last week, and now the former UCF star has found a home in the UFL. Per UFL communications, Plumlee has signed with the Houston Gamblers. Houston currently sits with a 2-4 record after a loss to the Columbus Aviators, whose offense is led by offensive coordinator Todd […]
Commanders links Articles Last Man Standig (paywall) Building front to back: The Commanders’ bet on defensive speed over secondary personnel [W]hen the draft concluded, Washington hadn’t selected a single defensive back. Not early. Not late. Not at all. Washington didn’t forget about the secondary. It deprioritized it. If there’s a single stat that explains Washington’s […]
As the dust settles on the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams seem to have a need at third receiver. At first glance, the idea of Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, or CJ Daniels playing a significant amount of snaps should not scare opposing defenses to this point. LA had the chance to draft Makai […]
The Seattle Seahawks, picking at 32, entered the 2026 NFL draft with just four picks. They left with eight rookies, and a recent report from ESPN’s Brady Henderson portrays the dominant trait John Schneider targeted for the whole class. Sources inside the draft room shed light on how the Seahawks arrived at those decisions, the […]
The dust has settled on a terrific draft by the Dallas Cowboys, and we are now finishing up the next phase of the offseason which is the rookie minicamp. There, we got our first looks at the draft class on the field, and it was revealed what numbers the rookies will wear, as well as […]
The 2026 NFL Draft season wrapped up a couple weeks ago as the Chicago Bears inch closer to the start of their scheduled off-season training program. Naturally, you have all likely seen a plethora of grades presented by writers and fans around the community. If you’re looking for my initial grades, you can find those […]
As the Kansas City Chiefs continued their rookie minicamp on Saturday, we got our first chance to see fifth-round pick, former Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson on the field in a Chiefs uniform. Although these are unpadded practices, head coach Andy Reid has seen enough to have a good, initial impression of the newcomer. “Smart […]
In Today’s Links: highlights from Rookie Minicamp, Seaside Joe looks at the life of a practice squad regular, position changes in the building for our Seattle Seahawks, another favorable look at the Jadarian Price pick, and a little bit more. Happy Sunday, y’all. Have a good one. Take care of yourself and others, and you’ll […]
The Miami Dolphins draft is in the rearview mirror now, but how will the players contribute this year?
One of the lasting memories from the NFC Championship on the side of the Los Angeles Rams is punt returner Xavier Smith’s lost fumble deep in his own territory. This costly mistake came shortly after the half. The Seattle Seahawks scored just one play later to extend their lead to 24-13. The Rams have made […]
The Las Vegas Raiders had their second practice of rookie minicamp on Saturday. It was open to the media and gave fans their first glimpse of new quarterback Fernando Mendoza in action. His growth will be the talk of the offseason and training camp, with a chance he’s ready to start Week 1. Of course, […]
The selection of Jadarian Price at No. 32 in the 2026 NFL Draft raised eyebrows for more than one reason. It wasn’t just about the player profile — it was the context. The Seattle Seahawks were coming off a championship run with limited draft capital, yet still chose to invest in a running back, a […]
The Buffalo Bills added 10 college football prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, but only two of those picks—Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker (pictured below) and Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun—came in the first three rounds. In a draft widely thought to be devoid of instant impact players, president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane […]
You didn’t really think he’d be out of the league forever, did you? According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Cleveland Browns have hired Trent Baalke, the former general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-24) and San Francisco 49ers (2011-16), in a “consultant-like capacity.” Some reactions from Elon’s hellscape: Under Baalke, the Niners had […]
The Buffalo Bills picked Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams in the seventh round at No. 241 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. They acquired the selection in a sixth-round trade with the Chicago Bears. The other pick in that deal (No. 239) netted the Bills punter Tommy Doman Jr. This is the ninth and […]
At first glance, Oklahoma pass rusher R Mason Thomas seemed a curious fit for the Kansas City Chiefs when he was selected with the 40th pick in last month’s NFL Draft. Weighing in at only 241 pounds, Thomas is much lighter than the edge rushers long coveted by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Speaking on Friday […]
