Connor McDavid will leave the Oilers after the next three seasons

He's Gonzo win or lose. We have three seasons left with Connor McDavid. That's my opinion... after three years, so three more playoffs. I think that would've been 13 years for McDavid.

McDavid's free agency or trade status will be clear after the 2027-28 NHL season.

AJ Brown will likely be traded by the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason

I won't be surprised if AJ Brown is traded in the off season. I think we're at the point where it makes sense for both sides for him to move on. They can find another receiver, they can make their offense go without him.

AJ Brown remained with the Eagles for the 2026 season.

If the Chiefs lose to the Colts this Sunday, they will miss the playoffs
