Firing Kristi Noem is the closest thing to an admission that this administration pushed the envelope too far in places like Minnesota, and proof that the Cardinal sin in TrumpLand is being dogwalked by Congress, on national television …

I think a lot of that, and really how big any of their swings will be, hinges on what the cap landscape looks like after a Linderbaum deal, which I think is tippity top priority.

I feel like if I were an NFL player and found out some rival team listed me as a β€œstick figure,” that would be all the motivation I’d need to try to kick their ass whenever they were on the schedule.

That one would irk me

3 Offseason Moves the Baltimore Ravens Must Make to Launch the Jesse Minter Era It’s a whole new era for the Baltimore Ravens.

If I were Eric DeCosta, and I were running a Ravens team that’s built to win big and win right now, here would be my offseason plan:

Quick thoughts and initial reaction to the Bills dropping DJ Moore into Josh Allen’s supporting cast after blockbuster trade with the Bears. youtube.com/shorts/orUBN...

The one thing this trade does for the Bears is not just clear the way for Luther Burden and Rome Odunze to take on expanded roles around Caleb Williams, but Chicago now has major cap space to fill some glaring needs, not the least of which at center following Drew Dalman’s retirement …

NEW: We filed a motion to prevent the Department of Justice from accessing New Jersey voters' personal data.

This is another dangerous attempt by the Trump administration to disenfranchise voters.

04.03.2026 22:29 πŸ‘ 543 πŸ” 131 πŸ’¬ 6 πŸ“Œ 3

Yes, correct.

05.03.2026 17:05 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yup.

And also, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, and Rome Odunze are all rising and all cheap.

10,000%.

And Rome Odunze. And cap space.

From an NFL Scout to me, just now on the Moore trade: β€œReally good move for the Bills. I don’t know why Chicago would let him go, but he’s young and has a lot of talent.”

The Bills are trading for DJ Moore.

Great get for Buffalo.

Moore is still a productive receiver who draws major attention over the top, just seemed to struggle getting on the same page with Caleb Williams in Chicago and the Bears are absolutely loaded with young, rising, affordable pass catchers.

This week @amplifiedtorock.bsky.social talked to @mattlombardo.bsky.social about his β€œ3 Moves the Dolphins Must Make This Offseason” column and the pushback on the first one has been…not subtle. But when you hear the explanation, it actually makes sense!

It just seemed like they were so close; and so much of their window is about maximizing what’s left of Stafford and building a turnkey situation for whoever is next at QB. Today’s trade is huge for the defense. But if they move on from Parkinson, I could really see them prioritizing a TE.
