Dan Snyder has zero intent to sell the Washington Commanders

I can't see Dan Snyder ever voluntarily selling. ...I don't think so. I, I think he he's got zero, zero intent to sell.

Snyder eventually did sell the team in 2023, though Schefter's 'voluntary' qualifier is the key to why he felt he wouldn't.

Jim Harbaugh will not pursue an NFL job again after returning to Michigan

He said back to Michigan, not going anywhere else. I actually think, I believe him. I think he's very honest about that... when he says he's going back to Michigan, he's not doing that again. I believe that.

This turned out to be incorrect, as Jim Harbaugh eventually left Michigan to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.

The Browns were legitimately interested in talking to Condoleezza Rice about the head coaching search

Condoleezza Rice was a person that they had interest in talking to, getting her perspective... I report the Browns would like to talk to Condoleezza Rice... and an hour later the Browns released a statement. [The leak] wasn't thirsty, they initially contemplated whether they were willing to have that information go public.

Schefter insists his reporting was accurate and the Browns backtracked after the public reaction. Since it's about internal team interest, it's hard to definitively disprove, but Schefter stands by it.

Tom Brady is definitively the best quarterback of all time

The best quarterback of all time would be Tom Brady. That would be my opinion. Well, I would back it up with facts. The facts are he's won six Super Bowls. I do have two sources that have confirmed that Tom Brady is the best quarterback of all time. My left eye and my right eye.

While GOAT status is subjective, Brady's 7 rings and all-time stats make this a widely accepted consensus.

Jason Witten returning to the Cowboys was the best move for him personally

Honestly, this was the best thing for him to do. Now, the people that didn't like him as a broadcaster, they're happy. Dallas is thrilled. It was a great move on his part.

Witten had a decent return season (63 catches) and successfully exited a broadcast role he was struggling in.

NFL owners, not Roger Goodell, will decide Robert Kraft's punishment

I don't think it's going to be Roger Goodell that does the things regarding Robert Kraft. I think it's going to be owners that do the things. The fellow owners. Roger Goodell, his bosses are the owners. And I believe his bosses will ultimately decide how the situation is handled.

Kraft was never officially sanctioned by the league for the incident, suggesting the owners/league chose to let it fade after the legal charges were dropped.

I am five foot eight

[I am] five foot eight. That is definitely... [I'm] definitely not 5'6".

Most public sources cite him as 5'8", though it is frequently disputed by those who meet him in person (like the hosts).

The Dez Bryant tape is never coming out

I don't think it's ever coming. So Jerry [Jones] did a good job of burying that one.

To this day, no such tape has ever been released or verified.

Bill Belichick is always coaching for his job

He's got to win this year or else. He's never been to back-to-back Super Bowls since 2005. Over 10 years. He's in trouble. Not consistency. He's in trouble... Yeah, he's always coaching for his job. Yeah, his job is to coach. That's his job. It's literally his job.

Belichick won the Super Bowl in 2018 (LIII) and remained the coach for several more years with high job security.

Clark Hunt is a powerful NFL owner that the public doesn't mention enough

Clark Hunt is a very powerful, influential owner that you don't hear mentioned along with the Maras and Krafts and Rooneys. Clark Hunt is the guy that I'm putting in there.

Hunt chairs the influential Finance Committee, confirming his high-level influence within the league office.

Jeff Fisher won't get another head coaching job but will be a consultant

I could see him being brought in as a consultant, working around a team. I don't know if he's going to get a head coach. I don't know about that.

Fisher never coached in the NFL again after being fired by the Rams in 2016, though he did coach in the USFL later.

The Jets will win more than 3.5 games this season

In that particular case, I think I will take the... oh, that's right around there. I'll take the over, barely.

The Jets finished 5-11, so the over 3.5 was correct.

Sean McVay is a star and will be in the NFL for a long time

Sean McVay, the rookie head coach, who's a star, who's going to have a long time in this league.

McVay became one of the league's best coaches, winning a Super Bowl and staying with the Rams long-term.
