The NFL Draft is in the books, meaning that the league is heading toward the quietest time on the calendar. Of course, pro football never really sleeps; offseason workout programs are underway and roster movement still happening. The New England Patriots also keep themselves busy at this time of the year. With that as a […]
The Winnipeg Jets disappointed in a major way this season and missed the playoffs because of it. With this, the Jets should respond by having a busy offseason. The Jets are entering the summer with plenty of roster needs to address. Due to this, let's look at two trade targets who the Jets should make a big push for during the offseason. Robert Thomas One of the Jets' biggest needs is another top-six center. Due to this, it would make a lot of sense if they made a serious pus...
Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is done, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be publishing individual film breakdowns on the Eagles’ 2026 draft class here at Bleeding Green Nation. My pre-draft rankings and position previews are still up if you want to cross-reference. […]
Good teams win close games. The Rays are proving so far this season that they truly are a good team. Today was another example. Not because every win has to be clean, or because the offense is turning games into batting practice. No, this one was proof in a much more Rays’ way. Tampa Bay […]
Everton will attempt to revive their flagging European hopes when they take on Manchester City in yet another Monday night game at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Suffering successive defeats courtesy of stoppage-time winners for the first time in the club’s history, just as a charge for Europe was gaining momentum, feels very Everton. They certainly didn’t […]
Long snapper Trent Sieg has been a quietly outstanding presence in Dallas for three years now, and enters 2026 with no concerns for change. Like teammates Brandon Aubrey and Bryan Anger, Sieg consistently holds up his end of one of the league’s best trios of specialists. Background Years in NFL: 8Acquired by: Free Agency (2023) Like most […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Sixteen Day 3 NFL draft picks who could compete for starter snaps as rookies in 2026 – NFL.com12) Cole Wisniewski. Former Eagles S Reed Blankenship went undrafted out of Middle Tennessee State before earning a starting spot for Philadelphia and a lucrative free-agent contract from […]
Obinna Ekezie Jr., one of the top players in the 2027 class and a Kentucky Basketball target, has made his decision. Ekezie, the fourth overall-ranked prospect and second-ranked center, has committed to the school down the road, the Louisville Cardinals, and will reclassify to 2026, choosing them over other finalists, Arkansas, BYU, Kentucky, and Maryland. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals didn’t provide much to get excited about for the first 8 innings. Dustin May gave the Cardinals a serviceable start, but his former team touched him up for 3 runs before his day was done. The Cardinals had early innings opportunities, but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard […]
The Colts selected AJ Haulcy with their third round pick in this year’s draft. The player is fascinating, but the use of resources on a safety is even more fascinating to me. I was shocked that they decided to address the safety position with their limited resources in this year’s draft— but I really shouldn’t […]
The Dallas Cowboys made a massive statement in the draft by using their highest pick on Ohio State safety Caleb Downs. It’s been just over a week, and it is already easy to see why they were so eager to get him in the building. He is not just a safety in the traditional sense. […]
After being hired as GM of the Miami Dolphins, Jon-Eric Sullivan said that he planned to draft a QB every year. That didn't happen in 2026, but it nearly did.
The Kansas City Chiefs opened Day 3 of last month’s NFL Draft by selecting Oregon defensive back Jadon Canady in the fourth round. Canady is coming off a five-season college career that included stops at Tulane and Ole Miss before landing at Oregon for 2025. While multiple college stops can be met with scrutiny, Canady […]
One more game in St. Louis for the Dodgers to salvage a victory, possibly even hitting a home run, if one would dare to dream. Sunday game info
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 […]
