I verified over 30 sources for my report on the Jets' organizational dysfunction

At the Athletic, because the standards are outrageously high, we're owned by the New York Times, you have to supply the editors with your list of the people that you're speaking to. And we had a list together after putting together the piece... it was actually 30 plus.

This is a statement regarding her internal process which is highly credible given her professional reputation and the backing of her publication.

The Russell Wilson trade is one of the worst in sports history

Russell Wilson's trade, when looking back on it, the Broncos gave up two first round picks... two second round picks a fifth round pick Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant. And they got back Russell Wilson in a fourth round pick. And then they signed Russell Wilson to a $242 million contract. And he played for the Broncos for two terrible years. And yeah, I think it might be one of the worst trades in sports history.

The trade is widely regarded by sports analysts and historians as one of the most lopsided and disastrous trades in NFL history due to the assets lost and the dead money hit.

Russell Wilson will start at least 18 more games in the NFL

I think you asked me at the end of the season, like over under Russ Wilson starts 16 or 17 and a half more games. Yeah. I still take the over on it. I think that there's gonna be a team out there that's gonna sign him to be a starting quarterback next season.

Russell Wilson started 3 games for the Giants in 2025 and previously started 16 games for the Steelers in 2024, plus his prior starts. He exceeded 18 additional starts from when this take was made in March 2024.

Russell Wilson isn't a good quarterback anymore

I still would probably want Kirk Cousins [over Russell Wilson]. I don't think Russell Wilson's good anymore.

Russell Wilson started the 2024 season as a backup/injured for the Steelers before reclaimed the starting job and playing efficiently, showing he still had some starter-level ability.

AJ Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles relationship is likely finished

I think AJ Brown's been pretty open about wanting to move on. I think there's hope from some Philly fans that they can make this work, but sometimes it's just better to just split and go in separate ways. I expect a lot of that to heat up over the next few days. We'll probably have an answer very soon. This relationship is probably done.

Depends on whether AJ Brown is traded or released shortly after the 2026 Combine.

Maxx Crosby being traded by the Raiders would not be a surprise

I think the frustration he had was how they managed him and his injury this year. When they shut him down, that went against what he's about. I will not be surprised if that [Maxx Crosby trade] winds up happening. The Ravens... doesn't that just fit?

Resolvable by the start of the 2026 NFL season.

Eagles OC Liam Coen is a massive upgrade and the locker room is fully bought in

The Eagles OC [Liam Coen]... I called around and I heard amazing things about him. And then the players heard about it. And then, so now everyone's all-in on this guy. I'm excited to see what this does.

The success of the Eagles' offense under Coen will be determined by the 2025/2026 results.
