The Jets will start the third and final phase of their offseason program this week. These are called organized team activities (OTAs). What is the offseason program? The NFL players and owners agreed to allow players to go to the team facility for a set number of workouts/practices over the course of the offseason. What […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers tight end room has quietly become one of the more intriguing position groups on the roster heading into 2026 — and at least one national analyst believes it deserves much more attention. In a recent ranking of the NFL’s top tight end units, Bucky Brooks placed the Steelers fifth overall, citing the […]
The Seattle Seahawks wasted little time getting a contract extension done with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who’s now the NFL’s highest paid receiver. It’s a slightly different (but, for now, not particularly concerning) story for All-Pro cornerback and fellow 2023 first-round pick, Devon Witherspoon. ESPN’s Brady Henderson shared his latest Seahawks notebook over the weekend, with Witherspoon’s […]
Hey, all! While Detroit Lions organized team activities (OTAs) begin later this week, I wanted to pause our team coverage for a day to just take a step back and have a non-sports related Question of the Day. It’s Memorial Day, and whether you’re living in the United States or elsewhere, or come from a […]
We’ve heard plenty of stories about the Cleveland Browns and analytics over the years, especially when Paul DePodesta first came around. DePodesta departed this offseason to go back to Major League Baseball, but present day, analytics is more widely accepted as a standard across the NFL. One thing you typically don’t see, though, is using […]
Brian Flores is now effectively subpoenaing 31 of 32 NFL teams — and the Minnesota Vikings may be the one franchise he didn’t. In the latest episode of Two Old Bloggers on the Vikings 1st & SKOL network, hosts Dave Stefano and Darren Campbell tackle the biggest story in the NFL right now: Flores’ expanding […]
Fresh off of a Super Bowl, it may seem silly to think that anyone on the Seattle Seahawks roster is under pressure. However, the opposite may be true. The Seahawks or no longer the hunter; they are now “the hunted.” Each team will be looking at Seattle as the measuring stick for where they all […]
The Miami Dolphins' wide receiver corps badly needs a go-to option for Malik Willis. One in-state player could be the perfect solution.
The New Orleans Saints started the 2026 offseason with a lot of questions, one of the biggest being the status of future Saints Hall of Fame defensive end Cam Jordan. Jordan returning to the Saints is viewed today as a need — not a major need, but a need nonetheless. The departures of veteran leaders […]
Today brings back one of the major traditions I have here on The Phinsider. Since I have been running the site, I have made this post on Memorial Day each year. Today marks the unofficial start to summer for many in the United States, but this day has so much power and meaning leading to […]
The Los Angeles Rams schedule for 2026 sets Matthew Stafford up with a great opportunity to win back-to-back MVP awards thanks to more exposure in primetime and the opportunity for him and Sean McVay to build on the narrative that he’s the most valuable quarterback in the NFL. MVP voters are often criticized for being […]
The final Mountain West Conference tournament was a fun last run for the current iteration of the conference. Air Force and New Mexico got off to great starts before being sent down to the loser’s bracket, having to beat the other to stay alive. The Falcons were the last future Mountain West school to stay […]
The Carolina Panthers recently signed 10 undrafted rookie free agents. There’s no cap on how many UDFAs teams can sign in a given year, and it’s not uncommon for somewhere north of 400 of them to dot NFL rosters. While this is cold for me to say about guys chasing their NFL dreams, the vast […]
It's safe to say Aaron Judge made the right decision to pursue baseball at a professional level, but he might have made some waves in the NFL as well if a touch football game from his freshman season at Fresno State was any indication.
Drafting rookie playmakers in fantasy football, just like in the actual NFL, is sometimes a high-risk, high-reward venture, but managers should take note of the Tennessee Titans' early thoughts about wide receiver Carnell Tate.

In Today’s Links: if the ‘Hawks make a trade, Bumpus has his eye on Anthony Bradford (amongst others), another look at the possibility that the new owner of our beloved Seattle Seahawks will want to build a new stadium, the Devon Witherspoon contract question, and a little bit more. Another news cycle brings us one […]
Well, well, well, here we are again. Last year, for my record predictions, I was actually pretty close. Even with Spencer Rattler at QB, a whole new coaching staff, and everything else new in New Orleans, I had the Saints going 7-10, only one game off of their actual final record of 6-11. This year […]
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of questions on defense this upcoming season, and none are bigger than what they’re going to get from their edge rushers. The team traded for Rashan Gary and has used premium draft picks on players like Donovan Ezeiruaku and Malachi Lawrence, leaving them with a nice combination of veteran […]
With mandatory minicamp a few weeks away, the Cleveland Browns roster is looking more solid after a couple of nice NFL draft classes. There are still a lot of questions at the quarterback position, but a revamped offensive line and weapon group give a lot of hope that the Browns will win more games than […]
The lineup along the offensive line on opening day of 2025 was one player short of the same group who were ranked #3 in the league in 2023: RT Jack Conklin, RG Wyatt Teller, C Ethan Pocic, LG Joel Bitonio, and LT Dawand Jones. The only difference was that OT Jed Wills was playing left […]
The Miami Dolphins may not sacrifice the chance to develop their plethora of rookies at the expense of a player who's shown very little through two seasons.
Good morning, and Happy Memorial Day baseball fans! We’re going to be doing a combined BP for today and tomorrow, due to the holiday. And it is a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, which means that it’s time to take a look at the week ahead and see what’s on deck. This week […]
With the 2017 and 2018 classes already reviewed, the next stop in the Chris Ballard draft review series is 2019. After a shaky first class and then a strong 2018 group that helped build Ballard’s reputation, the 2019 draft sits somewhere in the middle. It was not a complete disaster, but it was definitely underwhelming. […]
