Player. Coach. Legend.

Mike Ditka embodied the spirit of Chicago and will be deeply missed.

It’s one of the bigger “what ifs” in Super Bowl history...

#49ers S Ji’Ayir Brown talks about the freak injury to Dre Greenlaw in the Super Bowl vs. the #Chiefs and the impact it had on the team:

“He is the spark plug. He’s the engine. … It drained us. I think if Dre Greenlaw played that game, the Chiefs never pass the 50-yard line. Honestly.”

The Titans have formed the baldest coaching staff of all time

[JJ Watt @JJWatt]

Did I understand a single word of it?
I did not.

Was it a vibe?
It was.

The NFL informed clubs today it is projecting a 2026 salary cap in the range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million per club, per source.

That would represent another significant jump from this year’s $279.2 million cap number, and nearly $100M than the $208.2M cap in 2022.

From @TheAthletic: After retiring from the NFL, Charles Tillman, known for his signature “Peanut Punch,” worked as an FBI agent. He loved his coworkers and found honor, integrity, and nobility in their service. Then the immigration raids started. https://t.co/SJNTsDhaX4

Robert Kraft on the reported omission of Bill Belichick for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

“Whatever perceptions may exist about any personal differences between Bill and me, I strongly believe Bill Belichick’s record and body of work speak for themselves. As head coach of the New England Patriots for more than two decades, he set the standard for on-field excellence, preparation, and sustained success in the free agency and salary cap era of the National Football League. He is the greatest coach of all time and he unequivocally deserves to be a unanimous first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.”

A disappointing day for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Insane… don’t even understand how this could be possible

as expected, Howie cooked

it doesn't seem fair but at this point, it's not surprising

Howie Roseman finished fourth in this metric in 2024 and picks up right where he left off by again finishing fourth in 2025

the draft started by nabbing Jihaad Campbell at No. 31 when he was projected mid-first round

but Howie REALLY cleaned up in round 6, drafting three players way below expectation, highlighted by OT Cameron Williams at No. 207 when he was expected to go No. 92

other picks later than expected included QB Kyle McCord, EDGE Antwaun Powell-Ryland and LB Smael Mondon Jr

the Eagles did so well in rounds 1-6 they packed up shop and left before the seventh round began, making ZERO picks in the seventh round

the defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles just delivered another great NFL draft

[Jay Glazer @JayGlazer]

Big scoopage: Aaron Rodgers flew back to New Jersey last week to meet with the Jets about his future with the team, only to be told that the team was moving on from him. If that means that he will be a June 1 designation that allows him to sign with any team in the league on March 12 if he decides to continue to play. Given that Aaron made the effort to fly back to discuss his future, all signs point to him continuing to play. It just won't be for the Jets. @NFLonFOX

Welcome to the 2000 yard club, Saquon Barkley 🙌

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

Bears #1 priority is to get Caleb Williams as far away from the Shane Waldrons and Thomas Browns of the world

there is NO SALARY CAP on coaches

take a DEEP DIVE into the Scrooge McDuck money bin of the McCaskey family and overpay the best offensive coach money can buy
