Washington Commanders
For the last decade, the Eagles have been viewed as the best team in the NFC East. Their roster was one of the best in the NFL and they have a general manager in Howie Roseman who has a clear vision and isn’t afraid to make moves.
Washington, on the other hand, is in rebuilding mode with a lot of younger players at key positions and a general manager still trying to stamp his identity on the team.
The first step to sustained success in the NFL is being the best team in your division. The Eagles are the reigning...

*Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points assigned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to form a consensus top 10 ranking. We’ll write a story on each member of the top 10 and another on others receiving votes at the end. Plus, Mark will probably...

In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked Hogs Haven readers which defensive player would have the most sacks in 2026.
For the first time in my life, I’ll use some sports parlance that I picked up over the past few years watching TV, YouTube and podcasts: the results in this survey were ‘chalk’.
If you haven’t picked up the term by osmosis, then let me offer this Google explanation of its meaning:
When a sports analyst or bettor describes something as “chalk,” they are referring to the betting favorite—usually an overwhelming or heavy favorite to win.
**Why...

Here are some of his top players who got him excited for training camp in July.

He is built like an action figure, but it’s not the look that gets me excited. It’s the physical, downhill play that...

Jeffrey M’ba’s (umh-BAH) NFL journey spans three continents, includes four languages and took 27 years to reach fruition.
The big defensive tackle was born in Librevile, Gabon, on Africa’s west coast but would quickly call a different continent home, as he moved to France at age four. Jeffrey’s cultural immersion continued at age 13, when he relocated to Cameroon, a country he describes as a unique linguistic melting pot due to its colonial history with Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Through it all, athletics remained a constant in his life. Soccer was the base sport, but M’ba tried his...

It was no secret Nick Allegretti struggled in Kliff Kingsbury’s gap-centric scheme in 2024, and his play could, at best, be described as up and down. He was considered a possible cut candidate headed into this offseason as his cap hit escalated in the third year of his contract. Following the release of Tyler Biadasz, the team ended any such speculation by restructuring Nick’s contract and making him the presumptive starter at the center position. The addition of Matt Gulbin in the sixth round of this year’s draft is more of a vote of confidence in Allegretti than representation of...
