NFL announces no Supplemental Draft will be held this year

NFL announces no Supplemental Draft will be held this year

An understandable move for the unused draft.

Since 2019, the NFL has not had a player drafted in the league’s Supplemental Draft, and in league history, a total of 46 players have been selected by this draft. In recent years, the league has canceled the event multiple times, and now, according to Dane Brugler, the Supplemental Draft has been officially canceled this year.

How Saints RB Devin Neal was a steal

Why the rookie could be a big part of the offense in 2025.

The running back class of the 2025 NFL Draft was absolutely stacked, with some calling it the deepest the draft has ever seen. As a result, the New Orleans Saints managed to select Devin Neal from Kansas in the sixth round, a move that could be considered a highway robbery.

How Devin Neal was a steal

Neal would spend all four years at Kansas, becoming the Jayhawk’s all-time leading rusher with 4,343 yards and rushing touchdown leader with 49. Calling it a dream come true, the...

Ahead of the upcoming football season, I, along with the rest of the Canal Street Chronicles staff, put out our record predictions for the New Orleans Saints. In an unsurprising fact, I was the only member to believe that New Orleans could reach double-digit victories in 2025. While several factors would have to swing in the Saints’ favor to enable this type of success, I’m not so sure it’s as far-fetched as some may think.
