Now that the Minnesota Vikings have officially hired Nolan Teasley to be the new general manager, this is a good time to review the Vikings’ organizational structure, at least as it relates to football-related decisions (and leaving the non-football parts out).
The basic leadership structure hasn’t really changed much since Rick Spielman was named general manager back in 2012, although the office occupants have changed over the years. But even then, roughly half of the football operations and scouting staff date from the Spielman era- or earlier in a few cases.
Nevertheless, there are aspects of the power structure that...

The head-spinning kicking carousel continued for the New York Jets on Wednesday, when they signed former All-Pro Jason Sanders and released Younghoe Koo. This after Koo was signed last week and rookie Lenny Krieg was cut, after he outlasted fellow undrafted free agent Will Ferrin, who was released in May after kicking for six days in rookie camp.
Got all that?
And that’s not even mentioning that the frontrunner in the kicking competition this offseason is Cade York, who missed part of OTAs last week with a groin issue.
Nor does this even get into their history with kickers. The...

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has been working hard to ensure the team improves on last season’s results, and G Sam Cosmi and HC Dan Quinn have taken notice.
“It left a bitter taste in my mouth,” Daniels said of last season, via ESPN. “*I mean, it sucked. … [It was] a miserable feeling to not go out and do what I do on a daily basis and having setbacks. I love the offense, I love what Blough is doing, love how he’s creating and designing different things. It’s awesome to see his creative mind; we’re building this thing...

The New York Giants started the offseason with not much wide receiver depth, and just in one week, they’ve rebuilt that room with several veterans. Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the receivers the Giants signed, and it was a long-awaited reunion between both sides.
Beckham will do more than just catch passes for the Giants this season, as he’ll be looked to be one of the veterans to help the young players. He and Malik Nabers already have a relationship due to their LSU ties, and Beckham was asked how he could be valuable to the young receiver this...

In a recent media availability, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken spoke about potentially meeting Deion Sanders. Sanders is renowned as an NFL legend and the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, but he’s more importantly the father of Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Brown expressed his excitement to meet Sanders and even disclosed that they had initially planned to meet before, but a commercial shoot for Sanders got in the way.
“First of all, I can’t wait. You know, I, first of all, got a lot of respect, uh, for Coach Sanders, obviously as a player, but also what he’s...

The New York Jets have signed kicker Jason Sanders, per reports, just one day after he was released by the New York Giants. It was a surprise when the Giants released Sanders in a corresponding roster move to make room for wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
We surmised that Sanders’ high trajectory kicks played into the decision to move on from him in the Giants’ kicking competition. That was seemingly supported by John Harbaugh’s comments following the Giants’ practice on Wednesday.
“It’s windy out here, it always has been,” Harbaugh said. “It’s a tough environment to kick in and his style...

We’re inching closer to the time for 2026 NFL season predictions, and Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr is getting a jump on the rest of the NFL media landscape. On Tuesday, Orr published his 100 bold predictions for the 2026 NFL season, and several are related to the Detroit Lions.
The first is a very simple one: a year after finishing last in the division, Orr is predicting the Lions to win the NFC North for the third time in four years. I liked the prediction, even if I question some of the rationale.
“One of the most underrated aspects of...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Odell Beckham Jr. was the main attraction during Wednesday’s New York Giants OTA practice. There were plenty of other things going on, though. Here are some of the non-Beckham takeaways from the workout.
In revealing that defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris might be able to return this season from his Achilles tendon tear, head coach John Harbaugh also highlighted an aggressive response by the organization to the injuries.
“You look for answers and there are none,” Harbaugh said. “You can’t predict tendons really hardly at all, let alone Achilles are the worst....

With Nick Herbig now signed to a four-year extension, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a high-priced, crowded outside linebacker room. It’s not a bad problem to have, but along with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, Pittsburgh now has three expensive edge rushers all tied down well into the future. That’s making some wonder whether Watt or […]
