The Eagles are running a coordinated attack on Jalen Hurts to prepare for moving on from him

This is a coordinated attack... they're trying to get ready, get everyone ready for a move that's coming to get rid of Jalen Hurts. Because it did feel like a, 'Hey, we're not, we're getting everyone ready in the mindset.' We're basically giving you ammo so when this happens, you could say, 'Aha, it was because of all this.'

The Eagles did not move on from Hurts immediately following this article; he remained their starter for the foreseeable future.

The unannounced 2028 Super Bowl date is being held open for the NFL's 18th game

The February 2028 Super Bowl does not have a date to be played on yet, which means they're holding it for the 18th game. And then once they get that solidified, then they'll announce when the Super Bowl's gonna be.

As of early 2026, the 2028 Super Bowl location/date situation is not definitively known. This is a reasonable theory but unconfirmed.

The Giants are building an offense that has never been seen before in NFL history

If NFL players practiced for two weeks, they would easily beat the best professional flag football team

I think that if you gave the pros like a solid two weeks of practice with coaches that coach flag football, I think the pros could be better. Yeah. But it would take like... there are differences in the game. But yeah, if you gave them two weeks, they'd win.

Unless this specific exhibition match with training occurs, it remains a hypothetical prediction.

Justin Fields going to the Chiefs is a career-ending mistake if he fails to perform in Andy Reid's offense

Is this a mistake by Justin Fields? Because if he, if Patrick Mahomes doesn't come back and he has to start and it doesn't go well, like if, if you can't do it in Andy Reid's offense, it's over. Right?

Logical football analysis; failure in a gold-standard system usually ends the 'high potential' narrative for QBs.

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

Murray was released by the Cardinals and signed with the Vikings in March 2026. Whether he becomes 'the next Sam Darnold' (revitalizes his career) remains to be seen in the 2026 season.

AJ Brown will only be traded for a first-round pick starting price

The price is the price. It starts with a first-round pick. If the Patriots want him, it's a 2027 first-round pick, not 2026, because their first-round pick this year is basically a second-round pick.

If AJ Brown is traded for less than a first-round pick or not traded at all, this will be resolved.

The Ravens have a three-to-four-year window with Lamar Jackson to go all in and win a Super Bowl

Are the Ravens basically saying Lamar Jackson, he's 29, he's got, we got like a three, four year window where we're gonna have to go all in here? You're kind of forking the road. Are you trying to keep your draft capital to keep reloading around Lamar Jackson? You're like, 'Hey, let's go win this right now.'

The Ravens' success in this window depends on winning a Super Bowl before Lamar Jackson hits his 30s.

Kyler Murray's next team will reveal whether he actually cares about football

I think where Kyler decides to go is going to be very interesting. Yeah. Because no, no matter where he goes, I think we'll be able to say some very definitive statements about Kyler that might, might be wrong, but we'll definitely say them. If he goes to the Jets, it's like, oh, Kyler wanted to take a paycheck. Right. And he still doesn't care about football. Right.

Kyler Murray's reputation for 'not caring' is a long-standing trope that would likely be applied to a paycheck-driven move.
