Jason Witten will retire after the 2017 season

I'm amazed [Witten] is still playing. But I have a feeling this year's it for him.

Jason Witten retired in May 2018 to join the Monday Night Football broadcast booth (though he later returned to play).

Week 3 is the week we officially find out which NFL teams are frauds

There's a lot of frauds. And week three is who we find out. That's when we know who the frauds are.

This is a subjective framing of the NFL season schedule commonly used by analysts.

College football is more exciting than the NFL, but it isn't 'better than' the NFL

Saying something is better than is not exactly correct in this case because, yes, college football is more exciting, but it's not better than. I mean, the guys aren't playing defense half the time. People are wide open. The windows are wide open.

This is a matter of personal preference regarding the technical quality of play versus high-variance excitement.

Aaron Donald is going to come back to the Rams, potentially by this Friday

I think [Aaron Donald] is coming back and I think we may hear from him by Friday. Oh, that he is coming back. If he decides to come back, that's the key... he's making the decision soon and they'll have him on the field week one.

Mike Florio predicted that Aaron Donald would announce his return to the Rams by Friday, August 14, 2026. As of August 14, 2026, no official announcement of Aaron Donald's return to the Rams had been made. Reports indicated that a decision was expected by the end of the week, but no confirmation of his return was made by the specified deadline.

The Vikings will trade either JJ McCarthy or Kyler Murray because the loser of the QB battle won't accept being a backup

Whoever loses that quarterback competition isn't going to be very happy. Kyler Murray didn't go there to be the backup. JJ McCarthy feels like he hasn't gotten a fair shake... let's hope we can unload [McCarthy] and then go with three guys. Murray, Carson Wentz... and Max Brosmer.

Training camp is ongoing; the roster moves will likely occur before week one or by the trade deadline.

Baker Mayfield might sign with the Steelers for less money just to spite the Buccaneers for not paying him

Once [Baker Mayfield] is a free agent, it doesn't matter if somebody else is offering less, he could take less just as a middle finger to the Buccaneers for not paying him when they had the chance. I could see him taking less money to go to Pittsburgh... Pittsburgh is the perfect destination for him.

Mayfield is currently under contract with Tampa Bay; this refers to his future free agency move.
