The Buffalo Bills’ offseason workout program begins on Tuesday, April 7, with the team also permitted to hold a voluntary veteran minicamp beginning April 20 through April 22 because Buffalo has a new head coach in Joe Brady, who follows in the footsteps of Sean McDermott. The Bills’ Organized Team Activities (OTA) offseason workouts are […]
Fair warning: this is going to be a very long roundup. It was the first weekend of Minor League Baseball, and for the first time in many, many months, the San Francisco Giants had four affiliates in action. There’s a lot to get to. So let’s get to it! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles […]
Blake Corum Proves He’s More Than a Backup in LA Like it or not, but Blake Corum is no longer just an insurance policy for the Los Angeles Rams. The running back carved out a defined role in the Rams’ backfield during the 2025 season, finishing with 746 rushing yards, six touchdowns, and 145 carries, [...]
In late November, the Red Sox made their first of two significant offseason trades with the Cardinals, acquiring veteran starter Sonny Gray and cash considerations for right-hander Richard Fitts, left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke, and a player to be named later or cash considerations. On Monday, Boston completed the deal by sending minor league righty … Continue reading "Who did Red Sox send to Cardinals to complete Sonny Gray trade?"
The NFL switched to 17 regular season games back in 2021. An 18th may soon be coming. Expanding the regular season was a popular topic at the NFL annual league meetings held last week in Arizona. One that Patriots Owner Robert Kraft was in favor of. “I like it long term for the growth and […]
Suddenly, the Detroit Lions’ safety room is feeling a bit crowded. On Monday, the Lions announced that they’ve re-signed veteran defensive back Avonte Maddox. Immediate contract details were not made available. Maddox returns to the team after a very solid first season in Detroit in 2025. The former fourth-round pick spent his first seven seasons […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are heading into the 2026 NFL draft with a big need (literally and figuratively) at nose tackle. It’s one of the biggest holes on the roster, which should put Florida State’s Darrell Jackson Jr. on the Raiders’ radar as a mid-round option. According to NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board, […]
The Detroit Lions are officially on the clock in our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. This draft, which includes 31 of our community’s most devoted commenters acting as 31 general managers, has now approached the 16th overall pick. That is owned by the New York Jets, and the acting general manager for the […]
In a rare feat of quality media content, ESPN’s Matt Miller posted a comprehensive seven-round mock draft for the upcoming NFL Draft. There were no trades in Miller’s mock, which means Houston has eight selections across seven rounds to complement the already robust roster. Miller selected multiple players from my Texans’ Draft Needs Big Board […]
As the Minnesota Vikings approach the start of their offseason program on April 20, the most impactful question facing the franchise centers on the quarterback position. Whether the Week 1 starter is J.J. McCarthy or Kyler Murray would signal two very different philosophies about how the team views its identity and competitive window. The Vikings […]
The Indianapolis Colts are still without a starting strong safety as we inch towards the NFL Draft… or are they? Indy’s starter of the past two seasons, 2022 draftee Nick Cross, just left in free agency to join the Washington Commanders’ defensive backfield. Although his departure was indeed a loss, general manager Chris Ballard and […]
It is Mock Draft season! Surely fans have read dozens, if not hundreds of mock drafts by this time of year. So, what’s one more? Here is what this schmuck thinks the Seattle Seahawks could do in the 2026 NFL Draft. First, let’s see how the first round shook out in this mock. I went […]
The New York Giants have made headlines to begin the month of April, a franchise embroiled in contract controversy with NFL All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II. This isn’t the first instance of drama on the salary front between the two sides, as Lawrence and the Giants were unable to come to terms on a […]
If you asked just about anyone, fan or media, about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason, most to all would give them a top-notch grade. After the notable additions of Michael Pittman, Jamel Dean, Rico Dowdle, and Jaquan Brisker, the Steelers are a better team on paper than they were when their 2025 season ended in January. […]
It seems like it’s been three consecutive years now where the Phillies’ season has ended in disappointment and the prevailing feeling in the moment is that the team needs to shake up some of its roster to be successful going forward. The team has sort of stubbornly refused to do that year in and year […]
In the recent weeks, I have outlined potential draft prospects that the Raiders could pursue at defensive tackle, safety, and an “X” wide receiver. The plan currently is to work through the rest of the class with players that could fit the Raiders at EDGE, ILB, CB, Nickel CB, K, LS, TE, the offensive line, […]
Happy Monday, everyone. Hope your week has gotten off to a nice start. As usual, there’s lots to get to on Hurricanes athletics, so let’s do it. 1) I have said before in this piece that Monday Musings is kind of like an open dialogue of my mind about whatever is going on with the […]
The Dallas Cowboys front office has been movers and shakers over the last 365 days, repeatedly swapping out players for premium draft capital and vice versa. Following a whirlwind of big trades involving stars like Micah Parsons, Quinnen Williams, George Pickens, Kenny Clark, and Osa Odighizuwa, the draft board has taken on a higgledy-piggledy landscape that is only fitting […]
On Monday, Boston College junior guard Donald Hand Jr. announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Hand was the ACC’s Most Improved Player in 2024-25 after a season in which he averaged 15.7 points per game to lead the Eagles. But his offense took a downturn this season as he went through plenty of […]
The New York Giants have received a trade request from former All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lawrence wants a better contract and the Giants have not been able to appease that desire for more money, so the defensive tackle wants to go to a team that’s happy to foot the […]
On Sunday, Boston College junior guard Fred Payne announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Payne was Boston College’s leading scorer in 2025-26, leading the Eagles offense with 15.8 points per game on 40% shooting from the field. He was one of the lone bright spots for a BC offense that finished 339th in […]
Getting you set ahead of puck drop.
I hope Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears see this message. Actually, no, I don’t. Because I hope Poles is on the phone right now—I mean it, as we speak—with the New York Giants after Adam Schefter just broke the news that All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has just requested a trade and will not […]
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell came up with hypothetical trades for each team in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft. Barnwell had the San Francisco 49ers moving up to No. 23 with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two of their fourth-rounders. Here’s his explanation: 49ers get: 1-23Eagles get: 1-27, 4-127, 4-133 The 49ers are in a […]
Back in September, after a three-game start revealed a couple of flaws (despite some highlights), I penned an article that broke down the Buffalo Bills’ defense compared to prior years that had sustained success. My conclusion was that the 2025 unit was overall lacking in talent compared to the better years of the Sean McDermott […]
