The 2026 college football transfer portal was an absolute arms race. Here are the 10 moves that will shape the season

1. Sam Leavitt - QB - Arizona State to LSU - Lane Kiffin's new starter and the biggest portal move of the spring. Dual-threat guy who gives LSU a real shot in the SEC
2. Brendan Sorsby - QB - to Texas Tech - Most sought-after QB in the portal. Big arm, can win in and out of structure, and gives the Red Raiders the firepower they've been missing
3. Cam Coleman - WR - Auburn to Texas - Gut punch for Auburn. Elite hands, 6-foot-3 frame, deep threat - and now he's catching passes in Steve Sarkisian's system alongside Arch Manning
4. Omarion Miller - WR - Colorado to Arizona State - Part of what could be the best WR duo in the portal era at ASU with Cutter Boley at QB
5. Tyler Umanmielen - EDGE - to LSU - Relentless pass rusher added to an already scary LSU defense. Blake Baker is going to let this guy pin his ears back all season
6. James Smith - DL - Alabama to Ohio State - The Buckeyes reloading their dominant defense after the title run. Smith up the middle is a nightmare for every interior OL in the Big Ten
7. Josh Hoover - QB - to Indiana - Not the flashiest name on this list but Indiana under Curt Cignetti keeps finding portal wins - and Hoover has the arm to push it downfield
8. Nick Marsh - WR - Michigan State to Indiana - Program-record holder at MSU. Goes to Indiana as Hoover's No. 1 target and gives this offense a legit deep threat
9. Darian Mensah - QB - Duke to Miami - Helped Duke win an ACC title. Now he's taking that pocket presence to Coral Gables to try and wake up a sleeping giant
10. Mateen Ibirogba - WR - to Texas Tech - Top-10 transfer landing in Lubbock right alongside Sorsby. If those two click, Texas Tech could be a dark horse this fall

The portal is officially the second recruiting season now. Programs that ignore it are falling behind fast 👇 Who wins the transfer portal in 2026?

The 10 biggest NFL free agent signings of 2026 - some of these numbers are WILD 🧵

Jaelan Phillips - Panthers - 4 yrs / $120M ($80M guaranteed)
Trey Hendrickson - Ravens - 4 yrs / $112M ($60M guaranteed)
Romeo Doubs - Patriots - 4 yrs / $80M
Tyler Linderbaum - Raiders - 3 yrs / $81M
Boye Mafe - Bengals - 3 yrs / $60M
Devin Lloyd - Panthers - 3 yrs / $42M
Mike Evans - 49ers - 3 yrs / $42.4M
Minkah Fitzpatrick - Jets - 3 yrs / $40M
Bryan Cook - Browns - 3 yrs / $40.25M
Tytus Howard (trade/extension) - Browns - 3 yrs / $63M

The Ravens paying $112M for Hendrickson after passing on the Maxx Crosby trade is the story of this entire offseason. They gave up two firsts for Crosby -- then he failed his physical and they still found a way to land an elite pass rusher anyway.
Linderbaum going to Las Vegas makes sense. The Raiders spent the No. 1 pick on Fernando Mendoza and Ashton Jeanty needs room to run. That $81M center is the foundation everything else is built on.
And Mike Evans leaving Tampa after 12 years to join San Francisco at 33 -- coming off an Achilles tear -- is either a genius final chapter or a massive risk. No in between on that one.

@KEVIN62WILSEA We will watch. Thanks.

Let's talk about the 2026 NFL schedule, because there is a LOT to unpack. Chiefs potentially starting without Mahomes. The Seahawks going for back-to-back titles. And five teams getting zero primetime games. Thread 🧵

And shoutout to the schedule reveal content - Raiders did a Kirk Cousins buddy-cop skit, Vikings baked cookies with media jabs, Titans found street lookalikes for opponents. The NFL offseason content game has officially gotten out of hand and I'm here for it.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

Week 1 has the 49ers playing the Rams in Australia. NFL going full global with 9 international games this season. Love it or hate it, the league is not slowing down the worldwide expansion.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

Five teams got ZERO primetime games this year -- Jets, Titans, Raiders, Cardinals, and Dolphins. That is the NFL basically telling you in writing which franchises are in full rebuild mode. No debate needed.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

The Rams are the current Super Bowl betting favorites... with a 38-year-old Matthew Stafford and a backup QB in Ty Simpson who has never taken a single NFL snap. One snap away from chaos. Bold choice to go all in like this.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

Chicago Bears have the toughest schedule in the league this year and Fox still has them at 11-6. That's how much trust there is in Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams right now. Year 2 of that partnership could be something special.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

Meanwhile Seattle is quietly being slept on. JSN returns as Offensive Player of the Year. The core is mostly intact. Fox has them at 11-6 with a legit shot at back-to-back Super Bowl appearances - something this franchise hasn't done since the 2013-14 run.

[Football Techs @FootballTechs]

Let's start with the elephant in the room - Kansas City. Mahomes is recovering from an ACL tear and Fox Sports is projecting them at 8-9. Justin Fields is in the building as a bridge QB. The dynasty might actually be on pause this season.
