NFL 2025

Interesting off-season for the two SB teams. The Eagles will do what is supposed to happen to SB winners, and get picked apart (they have a lot of free agents). But they are stacked and they just keep nailing drafts year after year.
As Barb said, KC have skated by on very little elite talent outside of a couple of key positions. One of those guys looks cooked. Chris Jones is probably their only elite defender and he is 30. Mahomes is getting absolutely obscene money now so their ability to trade up is limited. They're not going away completely thanks to Mahomes and coaching (for now anyway) but even the Patriots fell away a bit between their two distinct dynasties.

Not even in the top 10! I think it was about 45M/year for 10 years. The base cap is 272M ... so there is enough room there to move around.

his cap hit is like $67M though (NFL contracts are complicated) which is 24%

Dak is a wage thief. Just another bad decision from Jerry Jones

Jets are moving on from Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams
I am sure some desperate GM is going to take him on for a year of just above average QB play, and all the drama that goes with it. I don't know who though. The "win now" teams are all pretty set, and the rest are in development mode.
The funny one would be the Vikings, just for the symmetry
Someone will definitely pick Adams up.

Couple of things
NCAA kicks off this weekend. Three big top ten matchups tomorrow - so a taster before NFL kicks off next Friday NZT.
Also, this is not the Onion

49ers pull a win out of their behind
Will definitely take it. An away divisional win is golden for a team trying to re establish their identity. 49ers defense looks far better with Saleh back as defensive coordinator.
Feels like it will be a roller-coaster season - should be far more fun than last year's Super Bowl hangover nightmare season.
