Saints Cap Compliance Day has lost its sizzle.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Zach Wilson got an Eddie Haskell tag for his feelings toward June Cleaver.

Eddie Haskell, a truly topical reference.

I have not deep-dove Odunze. He's a deep threat who spent his rookie year in a bad system with Academic Probation Caleb. Low target/high aDOT guys can be super QB dependent. And I don't think AJ was all that consistent as a deep guy.

Who? Odunze?

I don't think too much about it because the Bears are gonna keep building the offense out of runs and a million short concepts to Burden and the TEs.

Whoa nellie.

Ryan Poles has now committed robbery in two trades involving DJ Moore.

Trade summary:

Bills get - DJ Moore, 5th-round pick
Bears get - 2nd-round pick

Bills find their WR2.

Adjusted Games Lost 2025: No Team Suffered Like the Cardinals A look at our Adjusted Games Lost injury numbers for 2025 shows the Cardinals came close to the all-time record, as did the Lions on defense.

Sure, the 49ers had a ton of injuries in 2025. But things were even worse for their division rivals the Arizona Cardinals, who combined the hardest schedule in the NFL with a near-record total of Adjusted Games Lost to injury trailing only the 2021 Ravens.

the Wilfs have closed the pocketbook, now with cash clearly impacting the vikings even more than the cap does. This will surely play well with minnesota sports fans who aren't dealing with this anywhere else or anything

AJ to Patriots always felt connect the dotty to me. Patriots seem like they don't want to do a One Player Away thing. Diggs joins Pierce on a FA market where teams can get a guy without trading draft picks.

The WR market is not working out in favor of an Eagles AJ Brown trade.

"Steelers " and "edging " come up together these days more often than I am comfortable with.

Why does everything go out of its way to suck now?

"I hate living on the water," says man who just purchased houseboat

It is. And he loves stringing the Steelers along until they have no other options. What's weird is how much the Steelers love it, too.
