49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has decided to wait until the 49ers are in there heat of their postseason run to bring the attention back onto him.
Kentucky coach Mark Pope lands his highest‑ranked recruit—a 7‑foot‑5, 11th‑overall senior center named Cherif Millogo.

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio calls Giants rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy a “steal,” praising the New York acquisition after the 18‑year‑old’s performance against the Houston Texans on Oct. 25, 2026. The Giants obtained McCarthy from Minnesota for a 2027 fifth‑round pick after Jaxson Dart’s season‑ending knee injury, securing a former first‑round talent without a premium price. Analysts suggest pairing him with a strong running game and selective passing to avoid excess pressure, especially ahead of the upcoming division clash with Philadelphia. Fangio’s endorsement highlights the trade’s value, but the true test remains McCarthy’s four‑quarter performance against the Eagles.

The Seattle Seahawks held a tryout this week that featured former Cincinnati Bengals starter Cordell Volson. Drafted in 2022, Volson logged 48 starts at left guard before a shoulder injury led to his release in 2025.

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Detroit Lions face a sudden linebacker crisis after rookie Jimmy Rolder’s season‑ending injury and All‑Pro Jack Campbell’s neck injury. While Detroit’s cornerback pursuits stalled, the podcast argues the Lions should target veteran Eagles linebacker Zack Baun—an All‑Pro on a manageable 2026‑28 contract (roughly $1.2‑$1.4 M per year).

The discussion also weighs the Lions’ NFC North rivals, especially the Bears’ Jeffrey Simmons acquisition, and broader strategic questions.
