That is an oddly specific bet

I have $50,000 on the Seahawks scoring an 11-yard rushing touchdown on 3rd and 7 with less than 2 minutes to go in the first quarter.

It's early enough in the game that I hope it works out for you. Otherwise, go Patriots!

That was entirely a joke on my part.

I was making fun of all of the prop bets in the game.

The Eagles are hiring Chris Kuper as their offensive line coach, sources tell The Insiders.

Kuper spent the past four seasons in the same role in Minnesota, where he crossed paths with new Eagles OC Sean Mannion. Now, they’re teaming up in Philly.

@Barry Poppins

Never heard of the fella any good?

I figured Hill the way he was feeling towards Management was going to be gone. He's still rehabbing but both guys will be highly valuable for their next Team.

Rondale Moore has tragically passed away at the age of 25. He spent this last year on the Vikings' Injured Reserve.

News is reporting it as a suicide.

That's horrible

It's announced that the Titans are unveiling new uniforms March 12. Can't wait to see what they look like, because they could use a fresh new look for 2026 and beyond.

NFL salary cap hits milestone at $301.2 million for 2026​

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL salary cap has topped $300 million for the first time, landing at $301.2 million in 2026 for a $22 million increase over last year.

The cap has increased 40% in just five years, since it dropped coming off the pandemic-altered 2020 season when few or no fans were allowed to attend games.

The numbers were sent to clubs Friday, and teams must be under the salary cap by March 11, the first day of the new league year.

Rapid growth has been expected since the COVID-19 season, and the biggest year-to-year increase of $31 million came from 2023 to 2024.

The cap dropped to $182 million in 2021 from $198 million going into the pandemic season. The increase has been at least $16 million each year since then, with an average increase of $24 million.

Total projected player costs, including benefits, are $378.8 million.

Wide receiver remains the second-most lucrative franchise tag at $27.3 million. The quarterback tag is $43.9 million.

Sources: Texans acquire RB David Montgomery in trade with Lions

The Lions are trading running back David Montgomery to the Texans for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Pretty shocked that the Lions traded away Knuckles considering how good Gibbs was with him within their Offense.

ESPN sources: Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman has informed the team that he is retiring from the NFL at age 27. Dalman left Stanford in 2021, and after four seasons in Atlanta and one in Chicago, he has made the sudden and surprising decision to retire.

The Bears signed Dalman to a three-year, $42M contract last offseason, and he turned in a Pro Bowl season, starting all 17 games and playing all 1,154 offensive snaps.

And now he makes the stunning decision to step away.
