2246 days. That’s how long it took for the Cincinnati Bengals #1 overall pick from the 2020 NFL Draft to realize what was missing from his approach ahead of a crucial 2026 season. The Bengals have been to three Super Bowls so far: Super Bowl XVI, Super Bowl XXIII, and Super Bowl LVI, and have […]

Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA eligibility has spanned state and federal courts, and though the former Texas Tech quarterback hopes to join the NFL, comments made by his agent, Ron Slavin, show how his college career will remain a source of litigation. Slavin told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Wednesday that officials from the University of […]
Eagles The Eagles picked up DL Uar Bernard in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft out of the NFL’s International Pathway Program. Bernard said he is focusing on learning the playbook and being at the team facility. “I hardly go out,” Bernard said, via Ryan Novozinsky of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I just focus […]

Jayden Daniels was asked about his individual goals for the upcoming Commanders season. The third-year quarterback’s answer was simple, to the point and didn’t include a single stat. “Win football games.” There was then a brief pause in the Wednesday afternoon press conference, as if Daniels was expected to say more. Nope. That was it. The stats don’t matter. The wins do. They normally go together, with quality quarterback totals generating team success, but we understand Daniels’ under...

Several teams felt like they needed to make a quarterback change this offseason. After a 3-14 season, it’s no surprise […]
Game Summary Kyle Leahy battled spotty command in the early going. He ends up working through to a quality start with 6 IP, 3 runs allowed with 7 strikeouts. But the Cardinal offense musters but a single run on a ground, losing multiple runners on the bases in a game where there weren’t a lot […]
There is no escape from it. Jalen Hurts continues his trend. Since we started this annual activity in 2022, Hurts has done well in every even year and fallen off in every odd year. In the 2022 and 2024 seasons, for example, Hurts reached the Super Bowl, winning Super Bowl MVP in 2024. In odd […]
Dan Quinn got the day off from the media, but he’ll be back in front of the microphone before tomorrow’s third, and final, practice of the Washington Commanders mandatory minicamp. We heard from several players after yesterday’s practice, and today we get a few of the team’s best players, Jayden Daniels, Bill Croskey-Merritt, and Laremy […]
With minicamp now over and the veterans out for summer break, let’s take another stab at the 53-man roster. I don’t think too much has changed since our post-draft prediction, and there wasn’t anything earth-shattering at minicamp (outside of Micah Parsons announcing that he will start the year on the PUP list), but maybe there […]
Tight end Tucker Kraft may be quarterback Jordan Love’s favorite target in the passing game, but another of Green Bay’s pass catchers may hold the key to the entire Packers‘ offense functioning at its best. This fall, after allowing Romeo Doubs to walk via free agency and trading Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, the [...]
With Emanuel Wilson out of the picture, there’s a void at the backup running spot in Green Bay. In an ideal world, MarShawn Lloyd would stay healthy in 2026 and prove why he was a third-round pick only two years ago. But nothing about Lloyd’s career has been ideal.
During the Giants’ annual Pride Night celebration, which honors San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community, four San Francisco players protested the team’s hats, which featured a rainbow version of the team’s logo. Three pitchers, Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker, wrote a Bible verse on their Pride Night hats. The verses all referenced similar passages in…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had many intimidating players throughout their history. However, Jack Lambert was arguably the scariest of them all. He played for the Steelers from 1974-1984, and he became one of the NFL’s best linebackers. Lambert also struck fear into the hearts of other players, including some of his teammates. However, he was […]
The Dallas Cowboys convening for their minicamp is another milestone on the journey back to NFL football. With every new season comes renewed hope across the league. That usually comes from the changes made either to the coaching staff or to the roster. For Dallas, it is a little of both. The coaching staff part […]
Grady Jarrett's first season with the Bears fell well short of expectations, and Chicago may need to consider a trade if a bounce-back doesn't come in 2026.
The Los Angeles Chargers have a major breakout candidate in their wide receiver room heading into 2026. He still has a lot to proce this offseason.
One game in two regular seasons, six carries for 15 yards, and one catch for 3 yards should see any franchise part ways with the player, or the player may hang up his cleats. But the Green Bay Packers have not given up on MarShawn Lloyd despite the lack of production. The problem has never […]

The San Francisco 49ers have never been afraid to make a major splash in the trade market under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, be it for a star or in the draft. Some have worked out, while others have set the team back, leading to where we are in 2026. With the offseason in full […]
