While the 2025 Eagles repeated as division champs, they couldn’t make it out of the wild-card round as their offensive downturn caught up to the defending Super Bowl champions. The Eagles ranked 19th in scoring after three straight seasons in the top seven, making it a relatively easy call to move on from offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after just one season. Sean Mannion, who has only coached for two years after nine as a backup quarterback, will now get his first crack at offensive coordinator with expectations as high as anywhere in the league for a team that has won

After going 4-13 in Bill Belichick’s final season in 2023 and repeating that record in Jerod Mayo’s only season as head coach, a Patriots team led by Mike Vrabel pulled off one of the biggest turnarounds in recent history, adding 10 wins to their record while moving from -128 to +170 in point differential. The defending AFC champions will now look for similar success while playing a tougher schedule, and the road to a repeat starts with better protection in front of Drake Maye after the MVP candidate was battered by the elite Seahawks defense during the Super Bowl.

As reboots go, they don’t get much better on paper than the 2026 New York Giants led by Super Bowl winning coach John Harbaugh. While the Giants have won more than seven games only twice in the last 13 years, Harbaugh won fewer than eight games just once in his 18 years in Baltimore. Throw in a pair of top-10 picks in Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa and there’s plenty to be excited about for the Giants, though success may rest on the development of second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, who flashed upside as a rookie but won just four of

Pro Football Hall of Famer, Baltimore Colts legend and former New England Patriots coach Raymond Berry died May 25 at age 93, his family announced through the Pro Football Hall of Fame. According to the family, Berry “died peacefully … surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren.”

Berry, who played end (essentially a receiver), spent his entire 13-year career (1955-67) with Baltimore, serving as Johnny Unitas’ top target in an era when passing was far less prevalent than it is today. He finished his career with 631 receptions for 9,275 yards — both NFL records at the time — and 68

It’s rebuild time in Miami with the Dolphins moving on from head coach Mike McDaniel, former No. 5 overall pick Tua Tagovailoa and the team’s top two receivers in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. New head coach Jeff Hafley will be tasked with developing the identity on defense, while De’Von Achane and free-agent signing Malik Willis lead the way on offense. This iteration of the Dolphins will likely find itself as clear underdogs in most games until it can prove to bettors it can compete, as the Miami is the second favorite for fewest wins in 2026 behind the Cardinals.

It’s not often that you hear Tom Brady get called out on social media by current and former NFL players, but that’s exactly what happened over the weekend after the retired quarterback gave his opinion on practice squad players. 

During an appearance on the “Champion Mindset” podcast, Brady said that practice squad players rarely end up having a successful career in the NFL because they just don’t have what it takes to succeed.  

“Practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad,” Brady said. 

OK, that doesn’t sound so bad.

The Cowboys in Brian Schottenheimer’s first season as head coach scored 471 points, a total in line with 2021-23 when they made the playoffs for three straight years. The issue was on defense, where for a second straight year the Cowboys fielded one of the worst stop units in the league. So Dallas went to work overhauling that unit this offseason, including trading for edge rusher Rashan Gary to help boost the pass rush in a post-Micah Parsons world, throwing $33 million at safety Jalen Thompson, and then fortifying both positions with their two first-round picks by adding Caleb Downs

With the Bills’ run of five straight division titles ending in 2025 despite a seventh straight season with double-digit wins, Buffalo moves forward with a new head coach in Joe Brady and the same expectations to make it to a Super Bowl, something the Bills have failed to do every season since 1993 despite their recent success. Will a new coach, new defensive scheme and the same old MVP candidate at quarterback be enough to finally win the AFC?

Shedeur Sanders was a lightning rod during his NFL rookie season with the Cleveland Browns, leading to an unprecedented windfall through jersey sales, trading cards and other licensing agreements thanks to a diehard personal fanbase. Sanders banked a record-breaking $17.7 million last season in group licensing income,  according to the NFL Players Association annual report. The number shattered Tom Brady’s previous single-season high of $9.5 million during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Front Office Sports.

This licensing payout is 170% more than his father, Deion Sanders, will make during the 2026 season as Colorado’s coach, and pales in comparison to Sanders’ four-year
