So, a month ago, we here at Revenge of the Birds were reporting on the NCAA shooting down QB Brendan Sorsby’s request to remain in college one more year. He had spent four years in college at two different programs and had just transferred back into his home state to suit up for Texas Tech.

He then applied for an injunction in court to allow him to play this season despite recently losing his appeal to the NCAA. That hearing was held on June 1, and on Monday, June 8, the judge issued his findings and ordered a temporary injunction...

Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich spent the 2025 season on the team’s practice squad, four years after showing promise as a third-round rookie in 2022 with Denver. Dulcich is grateful for another chance in the league and compares his time on the practice squad to his time as a walk-on at UCLA.

“You got to know the player that you are,” Dulcich said, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com. “You got to keep that confidence, and when you get your opportunities, you just got to take them. So been very fortunate and certainly grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had.”...

With how early it is in Tyler Shough’s career, it’s weird to say that one of the most important years of his career is already happening, but it is. Last season was great for Shough because he earned the trust of the staff, other players, and the fanbase.

He got it done by playing really well on the field and doing it with the chips stacked against him. Being that type of underdog who dealt with major injuries throughout college, was disrespected in the draft process, and lost his first QB battle in the NFL, gets people ready to support...

Last season, the Buffalo Bills had definite issues at wide receiver. As a group, the team lacked dynamic playmakers who could separate and win consistently, especially against man coverage. What the group didn’t lack, though, was toughness in the ground game, as the Bills had a very good group of blocking receivers last year.

While that might not be a wideout’s main job description, blocking is definitely part of what a receiver has to do. The Bills have upgraded their receiving corps, but they still need some tough, hard-nosed guys who aren’t afraid to mix it up while opening lanes...

There had been speculation surrounding the future of Cleveland Browns left guard Joel Bitonio for a couple of seasons, and whether he would retire. That speculation continued after this past season. Then, in free agency, it really kind of ramped up once the Browns revamped their entire offensive line, unlike anything I’ve seen in all my years as a Browns fan.

It was believed that a decision would come some time during June. In recent days, after the Browns traded defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, some floated the question out there of whether Bitonio might be...

John Harbaugh would prefer the New York Giants to play on grass at MetLife Stadium, like the World Cup. He hinted at his desired playing surface during a press conference on the first day of minicamp.

However, the first-year head coach did not want to get in trouble and kept his full thoughts to himself.

Harbaugh’s not-so-secret opinion coincides with a majority of NFL players. And yet, the league continues not to listen.

MetLife Stadium is using natural grass for the World Cup.

MetLife Stadium, which will be branded as ‘New York New Jersey Stadium’ for the World Cup,...

For some, being a Detroit Lions fan was something they were born into. It’s a life sentence as a result of being born into a Lions family or growing up in Michigan. For others, something brought them into Lions fandom, be it a player, an era, or something something as simple as the team’s logo or colors. We welcome all Lions fans, regardless of their origin story.

Regardless of whether you’re a lifer or a newcomer, there are likely one or two Lions players in history that kept you coming back. A player that was so good, so charismatic, or...

Browns LG Joel Bitonio announced he is retiring from the NFL after 12 seasons in the league.

Bitonio, 34, is a former third-round pick of the Browns back in 2014. He signed a six-year, $51.2 million deal in 2017 that included $17.1 million guaranteed.

Bitonio was set to make base salaries of $8 million and $8.5 million over the final two years of the agreement when he signed a three-year contract extension in 2021. The Browns restructured the deal back in 2023 to clear just under $7.9 million in cap space.

In his career, Bitonio made 178 starts across 12...

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if the team should’ve traded for Myles Garrett.

The majority said no.

Top comments from Wednesday’s post:

The New England Patriots are nearing the end of their spring practice schedule this week, hosting mandatory minicamp from Tuesday to Thursday, following two weeks of OTAs.

Throughout that time frame, certain position groups have either seen significant change or emerging questions. Some of those unknowns may be answered as soon as this afternoon when players and coaches take the field and speak to the media, and some missing veterans return.
