Giving one terrible Hot take at a time since 96 & Yosef Club Member - 5/24/24

@FBallAnalysisYT I think it’s difficult to fully call him a bust with only 5 starts after 5 years.

Most alarming Halas Hall comment of today came from WR Rome Odunze when asked when his injured foot from last season felt normal again.

"This is my new normal. And it’s not from a standpoint that I’m always in pain but the way my foot broke there’s callouses in there that create a different type of foot structure with those bones — different types of things that kind of shift things around. So my new normal is kind of what I am going into."

Just something to file away.

@ZKantzFF Dang, no trading ?

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

@JagSays I’m genuinely curious, did you reevaluate your process after trading the 1.01 in Dynasty for Ladd last year?

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Howie doing Howie things:

So the Eagles traded for AJ brown 4 years ago and gave up the 18th overall pick and the 101st (3rd rounder)

Had him in the prime of his career, won 2 NFC championships and a super bowl

Now they trade him for a 1st and a 5th rounder in 2028

Love hearing this about about my WR1 in the 2025 class

Bears HC Ben Johnson on Luther Burden III at OTAs:

"I'm buying Luther Burden stock right now."

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

@FAmmiranteTFJ If you refuse to draft CMC then shouldn’t you plant your flag on another SF RB? The backfield is too prosperous not to.

In BestBall:
Kaelon Black: 215th overall
Jordan James: 217th overall

Which one do you prefer?

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

I can’t get behind this trade idea for Kmet. I don’t like the TE room but if the Panthers wanted to improve the TE room, this was the draft to do it. https://t.co/MBP5YWoI5Z

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Hoping he can get cleared ASAP, it’s a make or break year for Wallace.

[Joe Person @josephperson]

LB Trevin Wallace, who had a shoulder procedure after the season, is not yet cleared for contact.

@SleeperHQ @SleeperCarolina What type of cut would @SleeperHQ take from the payments ?

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

@Ihartitz That 2004 season was unreal. Steve smith went down in Week 1 and it felt like the whole offense besides Jake Delhomme and Muhsin had season ending injuries.

Every week it felt like Muhsin and Delhomme were playing throw and catch in the backyard.

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Per @josephperson “Was told he didn’t report the discomfort until April.”

This validates my claim that they moved up to get Lee Hunter for need more so than BPA. Again, I never disagreed with the pick but it makes more sense with this information.

[Joe Person @josephperson]

Panthers DL Tershawn Wharton is out indefinitely following neck surgery this month, per source.
Wharton missed eight games due to injuries in 2025 after signing a three-year, $45M contract w/ CAR.
@Statement_JT was 1st on the surgery.

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

@garantula21 @Jared_NFLDraft @acosta32_jp That do be true

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Yesss, Divisional games on MNF just hit different

NFL SCHEDULE LEAK

Panthers at Buccaneers - Week 12 MNF (Nov 30)

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Lee Hunter is a fine prospect and a solid draft pick, but I don’t know how you can believe Dan Morgan took BPA in Rd2 when Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was on the board. Dan even mentioned pre-draft about how the defensive line was top heavy, so he traded up 2 spots to jump the Jets.

[Michael Bell @avl_mike]

Some teams talk about BPA.

Dan Morgan lives it.

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

The Panthers’ farthest travel for a game is to Minnesota. While they have a tough SOS, they should be one of the least-traveled teams in terms of miles.

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Wow, the Panthers lucked out in the international schedule. 8 of their opponents are playing internationally this season, and two of them are in their division.

Maybe the Panthers get really lucky and play a team or two that is coming off traveling internationally.

[Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN]

The NFL’s nine-game international game slate for 2026 is here.

Jacksonville won’t be home much in October.

One day, each week of the NFL calendar will have a game on foreign soil.

[Philip Jolly @PhilipsHotTakes]

Are we sure Patrick Mahomes will be back by Week 1? He had surgery on his ACL on December 15th.

The NFL sure is betting on him being back because Bo Nix vs Justin fields doesn’t hit the same.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

This season’s first Monday Night Football game, Sept. 14, will be the Denver Broncos vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

The game’s site still has not been determined as the NFL still is finalizing its schedule for Thursday’s release.
