No one will remember this game for the result, but Real Madrid took care of business last night, beating Benfica 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League Play-off. However, the match result itself was largely overshadowed by the deplorable racist abuse hurled at Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. And that is obviously another story for another time, […]

The 49ers have made their first move of the offseason to keep hold of an in-house free agent. The team announced on Wednesday that it has signed offensive lineman Nick Zakelj to a one-year extension. Zakelj was a sixth-round pick in 2022 but has started just two games in his four-year career with the 49ers. […]
The Miami Dolphins didn’t have the type of season they were hoping to have in 2025. A whole lot went wrong for the team in aqua and orange from South Florida — as evidenced by the firing of general manager Chris Grier, the firing of head coach Mike McDaniel, and the benching of starting quarterback, […]
The Dallas Cowboys explained several times in the search that ultimately yielded Christian Parker as their new defensive coordinator that they were looking for a teacher. Christian Parker was introduced to the world on Wednesday and was specifically asked about his teaching style. His answer was pretty incredible. Parker noted that there are different points […]
The San Francisco 49ers had an injury-riddled season this year, but they still managed to win 13 games and impress many with a trip to the NFC Divisional Round. While certain players were on the sidelines, others stood out, with Christian McCaffrey earning a Pro Bowl appearance, First Team All-Pro honors, and the Comeback Player […]
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the Los Angeles Rams sit in a position that demands both clarity and boldness. After recent seasons of uneven performance, LA’s front office must balance immediate impact with long-term roster building. Fortunately, a handful of elite prospects—each with the potential to become difference-makers at the professional level—would fit perfectly […]
Full disclaimer: I have no idea what the Eagles’ offense will look like in 2026. Sean Mannion has never called plays over a full NFL season. Josh Grizzard has only done it once. There is no finished product to evaluate yet, no Eagles film to diagnose, no certainty to lean on. However, we can formulate […]
The Miami Dolphins are gutting their roster in preparation for a rebuild, and the next piece to go may be a player they just reunited with a season ago.
It’s a slow time for the NFL news cycle now that the Super Bowl is over and we’re all just waiting for the Combine to start. So, here’s an offseason discussion question for you: Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Philadelphia Eagles player and who was it? Or just tell us about […]
Brian Schottenheimer may indeed be running the show. The Dallas Cowboys held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon to introduce Christian Parker as the team’s new defensive coordinator and right out of the gate something stood out. There were only two people present. The two in question were head coach Brian Schottenheimer and Parker himself. […]
Good afternoon! Here is today’s roundup of the latest news, rumors, and analysis on your Jacksonville Jaguars. Local links Study up before your next trip to the watercooler. Where does 2025 rank among all-time Jaguars teams? (Big Cat Country) Before this most recent season, I suspect most folks would’ve said the 1999 team was the […]
Magic number for Colts defense is 400! If Daniel Jones isn’t ready, what happens? IU’s love for threes MUST pay off!
Promoting Zak Kuhr to defensive coordinator was the logical choice in the aftermath of Terrell Williams moving to a different role on staff, but the New England Patriots still had to adhere to the NFL’s hiring processes. This meant satisfying the Rooney Rule by interviewing at least two minority or female candidates for every open […]
The price for quarterback Malik Willis is expected to be higher than the Miami Dolphins can comfortably afford, so they may opt for a more inexpensive option.
In the 2025 season, the Chicago Bears had five players with 60 or more targets, which was the first time they did that since 2020. Head coach Ben Johnson said that his pass plays have a primary receiver built into each call, and that first read varies from play to play. Heading into the second […]
We’re approaching the start of free agency, and the Falcons have many looming questions to address. Kevin Knight is joined by Tre’Shon Diaz to discuss Atlanta’s biggest offseason priorities, including what to do with Kyle Pitts, the top needs in free agency, and how to navigate the salary cap. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode […]
The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that team president and CEO Rod Wood is retiring. The official press release says that he will decide to step away at some point before the 2026 regular season. “I want to thank the Ford Family and ultimately Lions fans everywhere for trusting me to lead the Detroit Lions […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers were very active in the trade market last offseason. They traded for wide receiver DK Metcalf in March before trading away George Pickens in May. And just when it appeared they could be done making moves, they shipped away All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for cornerback Jalen […]
On Wednesday, TMZ released an exclusive report revealing a civil lawsuit has been filed against Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver Rashee Rice by Dacoda Jones — Rice’s “longtime partner and mother of his children” — alleging abuse, specifically from December 2023 to July 2025. Jones — who has two children with Rice — says she […]
We have spoken a lot before about how some NFL mock drafts carry more weigh than others. The science of creating mock drafts is unique to say the least. Analysts are tasked with predicting how 32 variables will unfold when each of them carries infinite possibilities. It is part of what makes this time of […]
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe was probably fortunate that he wasn’t ejected for his actions in the team’s dominant Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots, but he’s not so fortunate that he’ll escape any form of punishment. The NFL fined Jobe a combined $18,444 for two separate reasons on what’s otherwise the same […]
The Miami Dolphins are reportedly holding trade talks with various teams for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, per Jordan Schultz on X. Though it’s currently unclear which teams the Dolphins have held talks with, Fitzpatrick will certainly have his fair share of suitors around the league. The 5x Pro Bowler will be an unrestricted free agent in […]
We’re under three weeks away from free agency. The San Francisco 49ers’ list of free agents suggests they’ll need to sign at least one guard in March, with Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford set to hit the open market. Bartch’s inability to stay healthy led to a revolving door at left guard this past season. […]
As we gear up for free agency, it’s only right to start looking at players who might be good fits for our favorite team. We did that in late January when the Falcons first hired Kevin Stefanski, but hadn’t gone back and looked at impending free agents from the Jets who might be interested in […]
Outside of signing free agents from other teams, the Los Angeles Rams will need to decide which of their own free agents they would like back in 2026. After extending Nate Landman and Quentin Lake during the season, that list is much shorter than it would have been if the Rams had waited. The Athletic […]
