Raiders draft prediction lands 3,400-yard, 26-TD playmaker in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Raiders did not have a 2024 season to remember. Undoubtedly, finding a long-term answer at quarterback should be the team's No. 1 priority. Aidan O'Connell is a former mid-round draft pick who has yet to show much, and Gardner Minshew is a mediocre veteran who could be a cap casualty. The only problem is that the 2025 NFL Draft is not expected to be a good one for quarterbacks.

NFL divisional round playoff predictions: how do you beat the No 1 seeds?.
The best weekend in football whirls into action with Kansas City starting their bid for a three-peat and ends with a blockbuster meeting of MVP candidate
What the Texans need to do to win: CJ Stroud needs to continue his upward trajectory. After turning what would have been an ugly fumble deep in his own half into the beginning of a run of 23 unanswered points against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, Houston’s quarterback seemed to shake off his winter blues at the very moment he found Xavier Hutchinson wide open downfield. Stroud needs to trust his instincts in order to compensate for a subpar offensive line, though more importantly he has to have faith in Nico Collins. The receiver will be under blanket coverage from Trent McDuffie and Justin Reid, owing to a lack of any other significant Texans threat downfield, but his remarkable knack of making catches in heavy traffic will be crucial if his team are to keep pace with the Chiefs. Oh, and in games that Collins has 150 or more receiving yards the Texans are 4-0 so just keep it flowing in his direction. Easy.

As a result, many are expecting the Chargers to make a big splash in free agency, whether that's signing wide receiver Tee Higgins or adding a bunch of significant pieces to a roster that just won 11 games and made the playoffs. Yes, Los Angeles has plenty of cap space, but it also has a ton of its own free agents that it needs to worry about re-signing or replacing. Offensively, running back J.K. Dobbins and receiver Joshua Palmer are hitting the open market.

Chargers brass reveal compensatory draft pick plan ahead of key offseason. Through careful roster building by head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz, the Los Angeles Chargers enjoyed a dramatic turnaround and playoff berth in a supposed rebuild year. One key aspect will extend beyond managing the tricky NFL salary cap and considering the compensatory pick process. When Hortiz arrived last year with Harbaugh, one of his stated goals was getting a steady influx of compensatory picks flowing into the organization. A year ago, Hortiz signed a bevy of underrated players on one-year, prove-it deals and had several breakouts like Poona Ford and J.K. Dobbins.

It was a warm welcome for Henry's longtime trainer visiting Baltimore for the first time, in town to catch Ravens vs. Bills on “Sunday Night Football.” One effortless cut back on an inside zone run sent Henry blistering into open field on the Ravens' first play from scrimmage.

The New England Patriots quarterback has gotten flak from some corners for not being at Gillette Stadium to help welcome the team's new head coach, particularly by 98.5 The Sports Hub's Mike Felger. Since then, we've found out that Maye had a pretty good excuse.

Shedeur Sanders Reacts to Titans Having No. 1 Overall Pick. The Tennessee Titans are heading into an offseason full of optimism after securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The team will first need to hire a new general manager after the firing of Ran Carthon before deciding what to do with the top selection, but there's multiple routes the franchise could go in order to spark a turnaround following an abysmal 3-14 season. Whether the team ends up selecting Cam Ward, Travis Hunter or Shedeur Sanders is to be determined, though it's worth noting Sanders made his feelings about the draft order clear during a recent episode of his podcast. "I love it," Sanders said of the current draft order.

10 QUESTIONS WITH TWENTYMAN: What will Lions' defensive game plan look like this week?. Detroit is 2-1 this season against quarterbacks I would consider to be mobile. Buffalo's Josh Allen handed them a defeat in Week 15, but the defense was able to contain Arizona's Kyler Murray in Week 3 and Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson in Week 12. With all quarterbacks who use their legs as a weapon, the more a defense can keep them in the pocket and force them to be throwers first, the better off they'll be.

The Buffalo Bills, who Baltimore will play in a divisional round playoff game Sunday night in Orchard Park, New York, led the NFL in turnover differential by a wide margin during the regular season at plus-24.
