Going from current Commanders WR2 options to Stefon Diggs is a pretty massive upgrade

Had Jalon Walker as my Falcons x-factor on Mina's pod. With everything else going on with the ATL pass rush, he was in a position to play a fun role in that defense. A potential torn ACL is devastating for the player and team.
Here's the list of extension-eligible wide (year 3+) receivers from 2025 who had at least 200 routes, 2+ YPRR, and had at least 10% of their targets go for at least 20 yards, per TruMedia. A lot of guys who got paid — now including Zay Flowers. Explosives = $
HE SHAPED THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION. THAT’S ALL WE WERE TOLD THROUGH THAT ENTIRE PERIOD.
Mike Tanier@miketanier.bsky.social · 2d agoFirst I have to read his self-serving pablum in The Athletic, now his airing of misbegotten out-of-date grievances on Tanktop Dimwit Amateur Hour. I'm already worn out, and some teams aren't even practicing in pads yet
Pefect genre of traning camp report. [team] plans to heavily feature [only significant offseason addition]

Jake Golday on 31 teams: might be a weird fit. Jake Golday in a Brian Flores defense: yup, that’ll work.
Patrick Mahomes EPA per play on extended plays of 4+ seconds by year. Coming off the ACL, we'll see what the extended plays look like, but a positive that the efficiency returned in 2025. Mahomes was also first in 2025 by a wide margin on these plays with scrambles excluded.
Manipulating defenses ✅ Peaking at 38 ✅ Being free after Rams trade ✅ Rams QB Matthew Stafford sits down for an exclusive interview with @robertmays.bsky.social on TAFS! youtu.be/FyejOXRk26Y
Important debate with Lorde's Lollapalooza set in the background: Pure Heroine or Melodrama
Deebo back in SF for up to $7M makes a ton of sense for both sides.
The Eli Raridon development throughout camp is something I'm super intrigued by. Has the profile to be a well-rounded player who can be a factor inline and as a pass catcher.
Mike Reiss@mikereiss.bsky.social · 6d agoFrom the media tent: Rookie TE Eli Raridon (third round, Notre Dame) shares that things are starting to slow down for him. “Obviously I’m not 100% acclimated with the offense, but compared to the spring, it’s a night and day difference,” he says.
A lot of this around Caleb, and Nix to an extent, is trying shit after getting away from a sack that probably shouldn't have been avoided. So it's a bad throw, but not as negative of a play as it could have been. Next step is obviously hitting those extended plays and turning more into positives
FTN@ftnfantasy.com · 6d agoCaleb Williams led the league in inaccurate throws last season 😬
I'm not really sure what Jadeveon Clowney to the Browns accomplishes for Jadeveon Clowney or the Browns in 2026
Andrew Siciliano@andrewsiciliano.bsky.social · 6d agoBrowns GM Andrew Berry on Jadeveon Clowney: “Really good visit. Things that we still have to work through. Hopeful that we can add him to the team.”
AMAUGUST is here! From Chris Allen to JJ Zachariason (literally A to Z), I lined up 90+ analysts to host 70 AMAs over 34 days. Berry, Coop, Boone, Levitan, Barrett, Valenzuela, Ciely, u/subvertadown, The Ringer, ETR, RotoWire & more answering your questions!
Surprising to me: Ladd McConkey had more YPRR without Keenan Allen on the field (1.61) than with him (1.34) in 2025 but... Had lower overall target share, aDOT, % of team receptions and yards, while he also played outside significantly more when Allen wasn't on the field.
The three-year run of Gurley/Zeke/CMC were all over 8% of cap when signed. Achane signed for 5.3%. If Robinson/Gibbs hit $20M AAV, that's ~6.5% and doesn't account for both having 2027 options, which gives teams another year to spread the money out. It's hard to sign a roster-hindering contract.
Robert Ass Esq.@troutpopupdate.bsky.social · last wk.What % of cap were the previous highs in the rb market, because i feel like 20 some mil a year for gibbs or bijan should be considered a steal almost
With apparent hold-ins starting for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs while they negotiate extensions, any running back value arguments that pop up just really shouldn't be a thing anymore.
Dan Pizzuta@danpizzuta.bsky.social · 2mo agoAlso, at least in this currrent market, we should be beyond "will this RB contract age well" discourse. Top of the market is already cheaper than Elliott/Gurley deals as a percentage of the cap and teams are so much better at structuring contracts. The risk is much lower than it was 5-8 years ago.
Election betting gives prediction market operators reason to work with political influencers. For Kalshi, that means paying a social media account that constantly bashes Muslims and refers to Black people as "chimps."

A lot of "Eagles signed both of their DTs" in the Jalen Carter reports, which ignores Moro Ojomo, who I would be calling Howie about right now.
First point here makes a lot of sense. Deep receiving corps that allows everyone to move around is a good thing. I wouldn't rush to trade Boutte at all. Also here for Eli Raridon propaganda.
