OK, moving right along! Welcome to the 2025 season. Here's what's coming up:
Feb 24-March 3: The Underwear Olympics (aka the Combine)
March 4: Deadline to apply the dreaded franchise tag
March 10-12: Free Agent Frenzy!
4 p.m. March 12: Official start of the 2025 season, which means teams can begin to sign free agents and trade players.
March 30-April 2: Owners meeting; expect nonsense
April: Offseason workouts are held (starting April 7 for teams w new head coaches and April 21 for anyone else) (teams with new coaches are Bears, Jags, Raiders, Patriots, Saints, Jets and How Bout Them Cowboys?!)
April 24-26: NFL Draft in Green Bay
May 2-5 or May 9-12: Post-draft rookie minicamps (teams pick a three-day weekend in one of these windows)
Sometime in May? Schedule release day (aka Team Social Media Super Bowl)
Mid / late July: Preseason training camps open (probably around July 23 or so)
July 31: Hall of Fame Game (teams TBA)
August: Preseason games (three weeks; dates and teams TBA)
Sept 4: Regular season starts with NFL Kickoff, hosted by Your Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles (vs team TBA)
Here's the full list of key dates, which also includes personnel deadlines (RFA signings, fifth-year options, etc) that most normies don't care about.
Anyone doubt that the NFL is year-round, just show 'em this.
Edge rushers and offensive linemen are suddenly back in fashion
Blah blah blah post to track this.
The Bucs have some cap space this year. Not a lot, but at least cap hell is done for a while.
Steelers early betting favorites for landing Q.A.A. Ron. Yes, brilliant idea; replace a washed QB with an even more washed QB.
The odds have the 49ers at #3, which is insane (and PFT does point that out).
I’m not buying Tomlin dealing with Qaaron crap either. Who I do think would be desperate and chump enough would be Joe Schoen and the NY Giants, which also might be the funniest option.

I have personally encountered some delusional, racist haters in Baltimore that would be happy to trade away Lamar Jackson and ride with qaaron.
The 49ers are allowing Deebo Samuel to seek a trade.
Not unexpected, given the decline in his performance, and choosing to keep Aiyuk and draft Pearsall last year. We pretty much knew then that they were setting the table to move on from Deebo this year.
The only surprising part is that in January they were saying they expected Deebo to stay, which WAS unexpected, but obviously they’re back to Plan A.
Got me.
ICYMI, here's Travis Kelce giving maximum effort on this play in the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Kelce is thinking about playing again in 2025 if he's "not half-assing it."
My dude, half-assing it on that play would have been a vast improvement.
Kelce was 2.5 yards less than his career average per catch this year. He looked slow, and it's amazing he could get the jersey on over the giant fork in is back. He's the best playoff TE of all time (and in the conversation for best TE), but he looked incredibly cooked this year, particularly in the playoffs. Go hang out with Taylor and get into broadcasting, it's time.

27-0. Classic front-runner.

If this happens, I'm driving to your house and shitting on your car.
Just fly to Burbank and take the 101. Can't miss it.

I can just see Pred wandering around Santa Maria, until he spots the house hanging twin 49ers and Fresno State flags.
“Found you, f**ker.”
The Jaguars erasure, just unforgivable.
Anyways . . . there are reports the Steelers have called Jacksonville about Trevor Lawrence. I can't imagine any situation in which the Jaguars listen, but, well, it's the offseason and we need things to talk about.
Legion loves these cap discussions..

This makes me really appreciate the SB win even more.. and kind of also angry that the Eagles didnt beat KC in the SB 2 years ago (worst field conditions ever).

There is a world where they won two years ago and don't get sweet revenge in this style this week.
Really happy for Philadelphia!

I can.
1.) Shad Khan is an owner of..... questionable judgement.
2.) The bloom has come off the rose a bit with Lawrence.
If they were higher in the draft, I could absolutely imagine them doing something stupid.

That’s what you do to afford an expensive roster. The trick is to do it and then accept the fact that there’s gonna be one year where you have to take your cap medicine and reset. Pats had that year after Brady, Rams did it a year ago, and the Bills kinda had that year this season (which is why they have no receivers).
It’s perfectly fine to do as long as you stop at some point and take that spoonful of medicine. Otherwise you become the Saints.
It’s also worth noting that void year money doesn’t have to end up becoming dead money. When you do it with good players that you end up extending, then those years don’t void, and the money pays out as scheduled instead of accelerating into a single year. The 49ers are going to avoid some void year acceleration with the George Kittle extension that they’re working on, for example.
Jags are saying they won't do it. Emphasis on "saying."
Steelers 15 seconds into the call: “Oh, right, f**k, Baalke’s not there anymore. Never mind.”
There is zero chance the Jaguars eat almost 9 figures of dead money for a reported 1st and 2nd round pick. Not for a contract with 6 years of term still on it.
I mean I can guess the Steelers thoughts: “the Jags have pick #5, maybe this new regime wants to draft their own guy and like Shedeur Sanders”.
Compare this to the Mavs trading Luka?
Sounds like the Packers and Jaire Alexander are headed towards a break-up:
There are strong indications that Alexander's time with the Packers will end without him playing another down. Multiple team sources have privately expressed their frustration with Alexander's inability to stay healthy and/or play through injuries.
For the second straight season, Alexander appeared in seven of 17 regular-season games. He did not play after Nov. 17 -- despite practicing on a semi-regular basis -- went on injured reserve the final week of the season and underwent knee surgery on what he said was a torn PCL. Still, he finished second on the team in pass breakups (seven) and tied for second in interceptions (two).
I’m not buying Tomlin dealing with Qaaron crap either. Who I do think would be desperate and chump enough would be Joe Schoen and the NY Giants, which also might be the funniest option.
Numerous Teams Express Interest In Aaron Rodgers Playing Elsewhere
Faced with probation revocation, Pat Mahomes Sr. admits John Rocker squabble was staged. Remember John Rocker? The bigot that used to pitch for the Atlanta Braves? Remember the Mahomes' not named Patrick Mahomes? They're all really dumb f*cks?
Remember the Mahomes' not named Patrick Mahomes?
That's Minnesota Twins legend Pat Mahomes to you, good sir.
When Patrick Mahomes first started to become "a thing", I thought it was hilarious that he had the same name as a shitty pitcher from the early- to mid-90s Twins. It took a couple years before I found out they were related.
Speaking of, arrests made connection with Mahomes and Kelce break-ins.
The complaint alleges that the burglars identified targets based on their team’s playing schedules. They allegedly broke a window or used a crowbar to get inside. They would identify and take the highest-value items before fleeing.
What, no glass cutter? Rookies.
Aaron Rodgers appears to be Plan B for the Rams if they're unable to come to an agreement with Stafford.

Mahomes Sr. is due to make at least $85,000 for the fight. He could get more depending on the pay-per-view numbers.
Mahomes the QB must keep the purse strings tight if dear ol' dad is looking to partake in an old man boxing farce for $85k.

I liked this better when Senior was only in my memory bank for smoking on that Joe Burrow with that voice. That was fun!
This grimy stuff is sad.
