NEWS: The Raiders are set to release veteran QB Geno Smith, sources say.

Las Vegas acquired Smith in an offseason trade with Seattle last year. Now, the 35-year-old finds himself on the open market after just one year as a Raider.

Falcons will not tender DL Sam Roberts Roberts still could be back, but the Falcons weren’t willing to pay the RFA tender.

The Falcons won't tender Sam Roberts despite his capable play in 2025, with @treshon.io writing that the team likely figures they can either bring him back at a lesser price point or replace him affordably

An inside look at NFL scouting reports, and the scouts who create them An NFL scouting report can range from traditional sentences to a series of color-coded messages, shorthand terms and emoji-like tags.

Before a player is an NFL draft pick, he is the subject of a scouting report.

These, and the scouts that build and evolve them, are the DNA of a roster.

I spent the combine talking to scouts about how they write the reports that shape their teams - and the draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POLITICS YOU ALREADY LEARNED WATCHING SPORTS Sports fans already know how to translate the language of power into the truth. They don’t, most of the time, but they can.

this has been knocking around my head for a while, but for real: Sports get people prepared for the bullshit of politics like few other things can channel-6.ghost.io/everything-y...

D-Led was on the #Packers beat for a time when I covered them back in the day before he moved onto Atlanta. A terrific reporter and a warm, funny and terrific guy who was always a joy to be around.

I’ve enjoyed having him on my Sirius show many times the past several years.

He’s earned retirement

D-Led was one of the handful of reporters you could count on to try to hold the Falcons accountable and took a lot of grief for it. He was always gracious about it and always gracious with us, I'm gonna miss him

Falcons will reportedly cut WR Darnell Mooney The Falcons are hitting reset on their receiver depth chart by cutting Mooney, who was plagued by injuries and drops in 2025.

Per @rapsheet.bsky.social, the Falcons will cut Darnell Mooney soon after an injury-marred, ineffective 2025 season

Atlanta now has Drake London, Casey Washington, and a dream at WR. They'll likely hit the position hard in March and April

Vote for the best Falcons returner from 2000-2025 It’s Allen Rossum and Eric Weems in a battle of do-it-all returners with high places on the franchise leaderboard.

Over the past quarter century, two Falcons returners stand out for their excellence and longevity.

Are you taking Allen Rossum or Eric Weems?

Trading for Murray, with Atlanta's limited resources, seemed like a bad idea. Signing Murray for nothing seems like a great idea, but the Falcons probably won't be near the front of the line for that

A new era means a new Falcons free agency wish list There are some glaring needs that the new regime will have to address to bolster a talented but flawed roster.

Every year, @allenstrk.bsky.social pulls together a free agency wishlist for the Falcons, and it's an especially pivotal list this year with a new regime and plenty of needs.

Check out who Allen is hoping the Falcons will target at a handful of key positions
