Sad story:

ABC Los Angeles didn’t have a lot of new details on Friday morning. Their TV news report references CTE and the digital writeup says this:

“Friends say Johnson had health issues later in life that led him to live on the streets, but they called him a wonderful friend who still made an impact on his community.”

Johnson played two seasons for Ray Rhodes’ Eagles. He was a fourth round draft pick in 1993 and found his way to the Birds via waivers, playing 11 games in 1995 and logging 19 tackles, six sacks, and a forced fumble....

FRISCO, Texas- His feet may be fast, but when it comes to decisions about his football career, Skyler Bell takes a thoughtful approach. A gifted athlete, Bell played four sports in high school and earned multiple scholarship offers to play wide receiver. He didn’t just pick the school with the best success. He wanted to […]

Despite the news earlier this week that former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was expected to take the job as the Chargers’ new offensive coordinator, it’s now being reported that he’s being interviewed for the Bills job as a replacement for Sean McDermott.

Early Friday morning, insider Dianna Russini reported that McDaniel was meeting with the Bills brass in hopes of still landing another HC gig. However, the expectation is that McDaniel will become the Chargers OC if he does not get chosen to lead one of the five other teams still searching for a head coach.

Normally when these...

If the Las Vegas Raiders want Fernando Mendoza (and they probably do), they can have him.

Friday morning, on the deadline day for him to do so, Mendoza announced he is declaring for the 2026 NFL draft. The Raiders are fully expected to take the Heisman Trophy-wining quarterback from Indiana with the No. 1 overall draft pick.

The fact that Mendoza, 22, declared for the draft was not a surprise, but there were some nervous Raiders’ fans as he waited so close to the deadline. Now, all systems are go for Mendoza becoming the Raiders’ next quarterback.

The Raiders, who...

The big story in Montco is a potential land trade that could pave the way for industrial development along the Schuylkill River up here.

Frank Kummer at the Inquirer:

A warehouse developer’s proposal to trade land with the state in Limerick Township and beyond has blindsided local officials — and ignited fierce opposition from residents who fear the deal could clear the path for a data center.

The state would gain 559 acres across three counties, including what would become Delaware County’s first state game lands, according to the proposal on file with the Pennsylvania Game Commission....

Mike McDaniel reached an agreement with the Chargers earlier this week to become their new offensive coordinator. He remains on the market for a head coaching gig at this point of the hiring cycle, however.

McDaniel will conduct an interview with the Bills today for their HC vacancy, as first reported by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. This in-person summit will come in the wake of McDaniel withdrawing from the Browns’ search. That seemed to leave him short on head coaching opportunities, but at least one of the league’s five remaining vacancies could be a possibility in his case....

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to receive several extra selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.

According to Nick Korte of Over The Cap, the Steelers are projected to receive compensatory picks in the third round for offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr., fourth round for quarterback Justin Fields and two in the sixth round for quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Donte Jackson.

The Jets are searching for a new defensive coordinator. The team announced candidates for the job a week ago. One of those candidates, Mathieu Araujo, is off the market. He was hired as the defensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.

How do the other seven candidates rate? Here are my thoughts.

The Best Candidate

Jim Leonhard, Denver Broncos, Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Pass Game Coordinator

Leonhard was a fan favorite as a player manning the Jets secondary and is viewed as a rising star in the coaching industry.

Ok, maybe that isn’t all that meaningful. The same was...

Former Miami Hurricanes and Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin has had enough of the coke allegations.

Early on in the college football season, social media was convinced that Irvin was on drugs with his behavior on the sidelines. The same could be said about him during the 2024 season as well. In fact, Irvin has had to deal with drug allegations for a large part of his life. They did not come out of nowhere. It was something that he used to partake in.

Last year, the Dallas Cowboys’ legendary wide receiver opened up about an incident where he was...

Since he officially put pen to paper, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh has yet to nail down either an offensive or defensive coordinator to work with him at his new job. The veteran head coach is reportedly interested in bringing former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken with him to New York, but the same cannot be said about his most recent defensive coordinator, Zach Orr.

Harbaugh and Monken had a lot of success together in Baltimore, but the Ravens’ defense took a significant step back in 2025, Orr’s second year as defensive coordinator. Their defensive regression played...

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown took a shot at the general intelligence of Lions fans while defending the team’s decision to hire Drew Petzing as its new offensive coordinator. The Lions are hiring a new offensive coordinator after firing previous OC John Morton following the team’s disappointing 9-8 season.
