The current chaos in college football should be fixed by the system, not by Congress. And the solution is collective bargaining.

The Browns send Myles Garrett to the Rams, and the Rams may be playing another Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Illinois has called the Bears’ Indiana bluff. We’ll find out soon whether it really is a bluff.

18 games by 2027 is highly unlikely, but the door won’t be closed until the NFL picks a date for Super Bowl LXIi.

The Rams continue to go year-to-year with QB Matthew Stafford, while always ensuring that he won’t be able to become a free agent after any given year.

By saying 2026 is his last year, Aaron Rodgers has set up the next season to be a farewell tour.

It’s a big year for the Chargers and Justin Herbert. Which makes it a fairly big deal that he has missed part of the offseason program.

With Aaron Rodgers back, the Steelers have a crowded house at quarterback.

He’s back.

An 18th game is indeed inevitable. The only question is whether it will debut in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, or 2031.

The clock keeps ticking for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. If he knows what he’s going to do, why not say so? If he doesn’t, when will he?

When Patrick Mahomes is ready to go, the Chiefs won’t be able to stop him.

Why did George Pickens accept his franchise tender now? The answer is likely pretty simple.

The Steelers may have pissed Aaron Rodgers off by applying the UFA tender. Was that the goal?

It’s now clear that the Rams were VERY concerned about how Matthew Stafford would react to the decision to use the 13th pick in the draft on Ty Simpson. So the question becomes: How will Matthew Stafford react?

With so much focus on what Aaron Rodgers wants, it’s fair to wonder whether Mike McCarthy is truly interested in a reunion with Rodgers or whether the new Pittsburgh coach would prefer a fresh start.

Draft this kid now.

Sean McVay rarely breaks character. He seemed to do it last night during the press conference following the selection of QB Ty Simpson.

Ty Simpson told me yesterday he’s a “chip on the shoulder” guy. That chip won’t be as big as expected.

Rumors were rampant that Aaron Rodgers would show up during the draft in Pittsburgh and announce his return for 2026. The Steelers seem to be trying to throw water on that. (Or it’s just part of the setup for the big reveal.)

Quick thoughts on the Dexter Lawrence trade. A Saturday night #PFTPM is coming.

The NFL’s ongoing pivot to streaming has opened the door to the kind of governmental scrutiny no business wants.

Mixed signals linger over whether Myles Garrett will be traded.

The Dexter Lawrence trade request becomes the first test of the working relationship between coach John Harbaugh and G.M. Joe Schoen.

The Jesse Minter era is off to an encouraging start in Baltimore.

Sean McVay says Rams are interested in Kirk Cousins as the backup to Matthew Stafford.

Here is a video of the incident:

Last year, the tush push was under fire as unsafe and “not football.” It came within two votes of being banned. This year, it’s not even on the radar screen.

The Seahawks wisely moved quickly to get JSN extended. Delay always makes the final deal more expensive.

Anyone who cares about the NFL needs to be shouting down the idea of another experiment with replacement officials.

Lost in the Maxx Crosby situation is the fact that the Ravens wanted to extend Lamar Jackson’s contract before the start of free agency and it didn’t happen.

Immediate reaction to the stunning Maxx Crosby news.

Ben Johnson on the Packers.

How big will the target really be on the Patriots in 2026, given their unimpressive showing in the Super Bowl — and given their schedule for next season?

Amon-Ra gets it.
