Cowboys offense needs help, QB Room Week 3 & stock up on Jayden Daniels | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab somewhat begrudgingly look back on an ugly Thursday Night Football win for the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants. Just a year ago the Cowboys had a lethal offense, so why did they struggle so much for this win?

Then it’s back into C Rob’s QB Room for Week 3. The Steelers haven’t officially named Justin Fields their starter, but after going 3-0, should they? And is Sam Darnold good enough to stir up QB controversy for the Minnesota Vikings when J.J. McCarthy is back healthy again? The three have Jayden Daniels’ stock rising, but does Tom Brady think he’s the real deal?

Charles Robinson joins Frank Schwab direct from his training camp tour to go behind the scenes on the latest news around the NFL. The duo start with the Haason Reddick drama in New York, as Charles thinks Reddick will eventually run out of leverage as the situation progresses. JJ McCarthy will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus, which is a big setback after a very promising performance in preseason Week 1. The CeeDee Lamb contract dispute continues, and Charles thinks both Lamb's and JaMarr Chase's holdouts are very different than the Reddick one because they possess much more leverage. He expects a deal to get done for Lamb, but is less optimistic about Chase.Charles has gotten a good look at many of the rookie quarterbacks, and gives his thoughts on Drake Maye's slow start, Jayden Daniels' first preseason action and Caleb Williams' insane arm talent.Finally, Frank and Charles wrap the show up with thoughts on the wide receiver market, and how Amon-Ra St. Brown's contract extension earlier this year has affected players like Brandon Aiyuk, who Charles thinks might actually end up signing back with the San Francisco 49ers.(2:30) New York Jets and Haason Reddick have reached a stalemate(10:45) What the JJ McCarthy injury means for Minnesota(19:15) CeeDee Lamb and Ja'Marr Chase holdouts are tricky situations(27:30) Evaluating rookie quarterback preseason performances(41:30) One deal that changed the WR market(45:50) Where will Brandon Aiyuk play in 2024?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

McCarthy will undergo knee surgery, as the two give their (surprisingly positive) thoughts on presumed Week 1 starter Sam Darnold.Next, Nate and Charles give their two units to watch that should impress this season: the Chicago Bears back seven and the Detroit Lions secondary, both improved over last season.The most interesting units to keep an eye on are the Green Bay Packers defensive front, the New York Jets offensive line, the San Francisco 49ers defensive backs and the new additions to the Kansas City Chiefs offense.Some unit groups already look like they're ready to implode before our eyes this season.

The duo highlight the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans as the friskiest of the bunch, before highlighting why people might be sleeping on the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Nate and Charles finish off the show with two "reverse frisky" teams (teams with a sub-9 win total that deserve to be even lower): the Los Angeles Chargers, who are still at least a year away, and the Washington Commanders, who have built a comparatively small and slow roster that doesn't appear ready to beat many NFL teams this season.(3:20) The Arizona Cardinals will surprise people this year(12:30) The Tennessee Titans added a ton of good players(22:55) The Seattle Seahawks are being slept on(28:00) The New England Patriots are not the worst team in the league(37:55) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought back all their good players(46:10) The Los Angeles Chargers are at least a year away(53:40) What are the Washington Commanders doing?Subscribe to Football 301 on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/46gILkF🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4mYAD📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT💸 Sign up for a Yahoo fantasy football league for a chance to win one million dollars! 🏈 Draft your team on Yahoo Fantasy before September 5th for one entry.

It's only August 1st and things are already looking charger-y for the Los Angeles Chargers. Justin Herbert is in a walking boot for the next two weeks, following a plantar fascia diagnosis on Thursday afternoon, so Nate Tice and Charles McDonald kick off the episode with the latest bad omen for the team that just can never seem to catch a break.Later, after discussing the new contract for Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, arguably the most successful tackle product from the 2020 draft class, the guys return to the sour note and share the teams, players and general football things that make them the saddest entering the 2024 season. Both Russell Wilson's current team (the Pittsburgh Steelers) and his former team (the Denver Broncos) make the cut, as well as both teams Derek Carr has suited up for in the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints. Who else is making Nate and Charles sad as football season approaches?

Early Super Bowl picks, QB confidence meter & Aaron Rodgers skipping NFL preseason | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab get together and throw a few QBs in the confidence meter before giving their way too early Super Bowl LIX picks.(07:15) - Bears & D.J. Moore agree on 4-year extension(10:00) - Jets QB Aaron Rodgers unlikely to play in preseason(23:30) - QB Confidence Meter: 49ers(30:55) - QB Confidence Meter: Steelers / Colts(39:15) - QB Confidence Meter: Bengals / Vikings(46:00) - QB Confidence Meter: Broncos(48:40) - Schwab Island: Super Bowl LIX picksOn this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab go through some of the more confusing QB situations in the NFL and grade them on a made-up confidence meter, but first…The Bears signed WR D.J. Moore to the largest contract in team history, and everyone agrees that it’s a good deal and a smart move for both sides.It appears as though Aaron Rodgers will skip playing in the NFL preseason for the New York Jets after missing all of last season with a torn Achilles. How will he be able to knock the rust off? Is this a sign that the team, or the player, is in control of the situation?Finally, it’s time to get into the QB Confidence Meter. The guys start in San Francisco, where Frank says that the 49ers shouldn’t pay Brock Purdy and shouldn’t pay any QB that isn’t on a rookie contract. It’s a bold idea!Fitz says that Russell Wilson is washed up in Pittsburgh, but even if Russ plays well this year…then what? The Steelers don’t want to pay him what the market says he’s worth. Another unknown is in Indianapolis, where Anthony Richardson has a sky-high ceiling but hasn’t played very much the past two seasons.Fitz says that Joe Burrow is the 2nd best QB in the NFL, but there’s going to continue to be concerns about whether he can stay healthy. Meanwhile, the Vikings are betting on a rookie QB that barely threw the ball in college.On Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix, both guys agree that he needs to start for Sean Payton’s team immediately. Fitz has some homework to back up a strong claim he has about Bo Nix being the next Nathan Peterman.Finally, we put Frank on “Schwab Island” and make him defend his Super Bowl LIX pick before Fitz gives his own pick for who will be taking home the Lombardi Trophy.Inside Coverage would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

On this inaugural episode of Football 301, Yahoo Sports NFL analysts Nate Tice, Matt Harmon & Charles McDonald look ahead to the 2024 season and try to predict which teams will finish in the top ten of DVOA rankings by the end of the year.Can Kirk Cousins and a new coaching staff elevate the Atlanta Falcons into being a top offense?

6 best case/worst case scenarios & hammering NFL MVP bets | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab pick 6 NFL teams and play a game of “Angels & Devils” to predict the best case and worst case scenarios for each team.(08:10) - Green Bay Packers(15:00) - Los Angeles Rams(20:20) - Dallas Cowboys(27:00) - Los Angeles Chargers(31:46) - New York Jets(39:45) - Buffalo Bills(45:15) - Hammer It: MVPOn this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab pick 6 NFL teams and play a game of “Angels & Devils” to predict the best case and worst case scenarios for each team.They start with the Packers, who still have something to prove in the regular season, and then move onto the Rams. Frank says Matt Stafford is coming off the best season of his career and that Sean McVay is energized, so why is Fitz down on the Rams?The guys try their best to disagree on the Dallas Cowboys but end up just agreeing with each other, and maybe disagreeing with everyone else, about America’s Team and what we can expect from them in the regular season.The Chargers have Jim Harbaugh, but does that mean they’ll immediately be better? Or maybe worse? Once again, the guys struggle to disagree on this one.Frank picks the Jets as the #1 seed in the AFC but explains why it makes sense, and Fitz is waiting for the inevitable meltdown if the Jets aren’t great. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills might excel without the weight of big expectations on them for once.Finally, we close the show with “Hammer It”, where the guys each tell you who they would put money on to win the NFL MVP Award this year.

Jori explains how and why the 49ers can keep Aiyuk, even beyond this season, while Frank tries to come up with a good trade package and a team that might be willing to offer it.After talking about Jori’s favorite cities to visit for training camp, the group wonders when the Patriots will start Drake Maye at QB and if Justin Fields can overtake Russell Wilson as the Steelers starting QB.In a new segment called “Two things can be true”, the gang discusses how the Chiefs can be a better team but not have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl, why the Jaguars had to overpay Trevor Lawrence, who will make the Cardinals the highest scoring offense in the NFL (but not improve their record), how the Eagles can either fire their head coach or be a Super Bowl favorite and why Jim Harbaugh was the right hire for the Chargers (even if the Chargers won’t be good this season).Check out all the episodes of Zero Blitz and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Six teams whose 2024 expectations are out of whack & is an 18th game around the corner? | Zero Blitz
The offseason is a time of high hopes for every franchise and fanbase, with old losing habits and season-ending injuries purely other teams' problems. No, this will surely be our year. Unfortunately, Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz, Frank Schwab & Jori Epstein have come to pour cold water on some fanbases' summer optimism.Kicking off the episode, however, the trio reacts to news from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that the NFLPA is working on a proposal to end spring & summer OTAs in favor of a longer training camp period in July, meaning players would essentially have January through July away from their teams. Jori and the crew expound on how this is likely the big bargaining chip as the NFL likely prepares to ask players for an 18th regular season game & the pros and cons to losing the May and June offseason workouts.Later in the show, Frank, Fitz & Jori share which teams should have limited expectations this year, including why the Pittsburgh Steelers need to focus on their defense rather than Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields, why the Cleveland Browns need to figure out if Deshaun Watson can actually be good, why the Seattle Seahawks need to expect an adjustment period with new head coach Mike Macdonald and more.Closing out the episode, it's not all negative – the crew talks about three non-playoff teams from the 2023 season who they predict will make the playoffs this upcoming January.(2:30) NFLPA's proposal to limit OTAs; bargaining chip for 18th game?(15:40) Teams with 'out of whack' expectations: Pittsburgh Steelers(21:30) Green Bay Packers(25:00) Buffalo Bills(32:00) Cleveland Browns(37:15) Houston Texans(41:10) Seattle Seahawks(47:50) Three non-playoff teams who could make 2024 playoffsZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Four NFL Draft storylines to watch + final QB deep dive with Derrik Klassen | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by Derrik Klassen of Bleacher Report and Reception Perception to give their final thoughts ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft on storylines to watch and this fascinating quarterback class. The duo start off with the news that Zach Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos. Both agree this doesn't mean a lot for anyone except Ben DiNucci, but Charles asks if the New York Jets should consider drafting Aaron Rodgers' replacement at tenth overall (or later in the draft).There are 4-5 first round picks at quarterback this year, and Derrik has charted all of them. Charles and Derrik do a final deep dive on each of the top QBs, breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix Jr. and J.J. McCarthy.Later, Charles presents his four storylines to watch this Thursday as the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off. Charles thinks the ideal landing spot for Drake Maye is the Minnesota Vikings, and that Denver trading up is irresponsible. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars are an ideal candidate to make a move and trade up for a wide receiver or cornerback. Finally Charles presents his take that this defensive tackle class is underrated, which sparks a conversation around how college linebackers are letting the NFL down.2:15 - Zach Wilson to the Broncos8:25 - Final QB class deep dive40:30 - Charles' four draft storylines to watchZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Mysteries of the 2024 NFL Draft, grading past first-round QBs | Zero Blitz
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to get their final thoughts on the 2024 NFL Draft in before it all kicks off on Thursday night. The duo start with the Denver Broncos' new uniforms and Fitz' strong thoughts on Arena football. There's a lot of hype around the quarterbacks in this year's draft, but Fitz and Frank provide a reality check by grading every first-round quarterback selected between 2018 and 2022, assigning only 3 As and 7 Fs (and having a very real conversation around Justin Herbert's grade).There are still a few big question marks in this year's draft that will have big ramifications, so Fitz and Frank go detective mode and discuss what the Washington Commanders will do at 2, the New England Patriots at 3, whether or not Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix will make it past Denver, the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders in the middle of the first round and if the Dallas Cowboys will make a move to address their biggest hole. The dynamic duo finish off the show by snake drafting the biggest draft busts of all time.4:10 - News and notes16:15 - Grading every first-round QB from 2018-202246:10 - Mysteries of the 2024 NFL Draft1:00:05 - Snake draft of the week: biggest draft bustsZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to dive into the how and why of the biggest news around the league this week. The trio start with the news of O.J.

In other news, Jacksonville Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen received a massive contract extension, as the Jaguars are betting Allen can be a perennial DPOY candidate.Jori is writing a piece on WR draft prospect Xavier Worthy, who broke the 40-yard dash record, so the trio discuss the how the value of speed has changed among evaluators over the past few decades.

Goodell’s state of the league, breaking down Chiefs-49ers & inside Washington’s revenge tour | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein live in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII as the duo go behind the scenes on some of the most interesting storylines around the NFL. After discussing their various Vegas experiences so far this week (and how cool it is to be in Vegas for a Super Bowl), the hosts dive into the Roger Goodell press conference, which covered big issues ranging from the NFL's gambling policy to streaming playoff games and much more. Charles calls for more clarity on the gambling policy and where the line we can't cross is, and Jori and Charles agree that it was once again apparent that Goodell's bottom line is to make the NFL (and its owners) richer.The Washington Commanders hired OC Kliff Kingsbury, which leads to a conversation around the Ben Johnson fiasco, where Washington seemed to go on a media campaign against Johnson after he pulled out of consideration for the head coach job. Charles says it reminds him of the way NBA owners often operate, but it's rare to see that in the NFL.Jason, Charles and Jori move on to discussing the Super Bowl, as the two reporters give their observations from being up close with both teams all week. Charles noticed that Patrick Mahomes seems completely locked in, and the Kansas City Chiefs appear to be almost nonchalant this week. Jori and Charles both learned just how impressed the San Francisco 49ers offensive coaches are with Brock Purdy and how quickly he picked up Kyle Shanahan's intricate offense. He is not a system quarterback – he's a franchise guy. The trio finish with their predictions for the game and how it might play out.1:20 - The gang's Las Vegas experiences7:10 - Roger Goodell's press conference takeaways30:55 - Washington Commanders & their odd proxy war45:15 - What we've learned about the Kansas City Chiefs & San Francisco 49ers this weekZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

The Atlanta Falcons hire Raheem Morris during recording, so Fitz gets Falcon fan Charles' live reaction. The Carolina Panthers have hired Dave Canales to be the head coach, and Charles thinks it's a great hire, especially considering it was one of the less attractive openings. Later, the duo move on to the two Conference Championship games and the three player matchups that will determine each game. On the NFC side, Charles is looking forward to Penei Sewell on Nick Bosa, Fred Warner on Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery and George Kittle on Brian Branch. On the NFC side, Charles is excited for Travis Kelce vs. Kyle Hamilton, Isiah Pacheco vs. Roquan Smith and Zay Flowers vs. La'Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie.4:10 - Jim Harbaugh to the Los Angeles Chargers13:30 - Raheem Morris to the Atlanta Falcons20:45 - Dave Canales to the Carolina Panthers29:50 - Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers preview43:25 - Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens previewZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Is Bill Belichick a fit in Atlanta? + latest GM hires | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporter Jori Epstein to cover all the latest news around the NFL head coach, coordinator and general manager hiring cycle. The duo start with Bill Belichick and whether or not it's time for concern that he hasn't been hired yet. Dan Morgan has been hired as Carolina Panthers GM, which actually makes sense given his familiarity with David Tepper. The hire makes Jori wonder if Pete Carroll could be a good fit in Carolina. The Atlanta Falcons head coach search is rolling on, as they still seem to have a wide range of candidates. Fitz doesn't know if Belichick is a good fit in Atlanta.The Tennessee Titans hired Brian Callahan as head coach and promoted GM Ran Carthon to Executive Vice President, showing their complete faith in Carthon to lead the organization, while the Las Vegas Raiders hired Tom Telesco as GM, which both hosts see as a little lackluster.Fitz and Jori finish the show off by going through the latest coordinator news, as the Green Bay Packers fired DC Joe Barry and the Chicago Bears hired OC Shane Waldron. The Bears conversation leads to talk about how the top of the 2024 NFL Draft could shake out and which teams are going to take quarterbacks.1:40 - Is there an ideal fit for Bill Belichick?9:50 - Dan Morgan hired as Carolina Panthers general manager18:45 - Atlanta Falcons head coaching search continues23:55 - Tennessee Titans hire Brian Callahan as head coach31:25 - Las Vegas Raiders hire Tom Telesco as general manager39:45 - Coordinator news & 2024 NFL Draft talkZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

How playoff offenses gameplan for elite defenses with 11-year NFL vet Marshall Newhouse | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by 11-year NFL vet Marshall Newhouse to give an in-depth preview of this weekend's Conference Championship game matchups by breaking down each offense and how they prepare for the defenses they face. Charles and Marshall start off with looking back at last weekend as they talk about Charles getting called out by Old Takes Exposed for his Detroit Lions draft grade (and how Brad Holmes has built a formidable roster), the guy who looked like Martin Luther King Jr. at the Baltimore Ravens game (and how Lamar is coming into his own as a leader) and Jason Kelce letting loose at the Kansas City Chiefs game (and how the Chiefs defense is still carrying that team through the playoffs).Later, Charles and Marshall start to look ahead at the remaining playoff teams and how their offenses can game plan for the defenses they'll be facing. The duo start off by ranking the remaining four offensive lines (Ravens have the top unit), and what makes Trent Williams such a unique weapon along the offensive line. Charles and Marshall also discuss Brock Purdy and the discourse that's returned around his play, along with how offensive linemen prepare for elite defensive lines like we'll see in the NFC Championship Game this weekend. The defenses on the AFC Championship teams bring a different challenge, as both defensive coordinators bring exotic blitzes. Marshall walks through how offensive lines build a game plan and set protections when they don't know who's coming.The hosts finish off the show by discussing the Green Bay Packers and their amazing season, as we're finally seeing the offense Matt LaFleur wants to run.1:30 - Funniest stories from the weekend + Divisional Round takeaways28:20 - Ranking the remaining playoff offensive lines39:25 - NFC Championship gameplanning51:10 - AFC Championship gameplanning56:15 - Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur & the future of the Green Bay PackersZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Is Purdy a problem? Bills need big changes | Sunday Night Blitz
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab recap each and every game from the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs as they give their instant reactions and takeaways and determine the ramifications for each team. Fitz and Frank start with the Baltimore Ravens turning on the jets in the second half against the Houston Texans, as they appear to be the best team in the NFL as of right now. The San Francisco 49ers pulled off an uninspiring win against the Green Bay Packers, as Brock Purdy had a rough game until coming through in the clutch on the final drive, which leads to a discussion around whether Brock Purdy is carrying the offense or vice versa. The Detroit Lions continue their magical run with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, although Baker Mayfield put up an impressive fight and will likely get a large contract from the Bucs this offseason. Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs knock the Buffalo Bills out of the playoffs yet again, as Fitz thinks Buffalo will be forced to look in the mirror and make major changes this offseason to give themselves a real chance at getting over the hump.Fitz and Frank react to the news that Antonio Pierce will remain the Las Vegas Raiders head coach before giving their Playoff Deliveries presented by Prime: Frank loved how Travis Kelce answered the call and delivered for his team this weekend, while Fitz goes off the rails and picks Jason Kelce, who appeared to enjoy the Chiefs win more than anyone.3:45 - Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens13:20 - Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers23:45 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions36:40 - Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills48:50 - Antonio Pierce is the Las Vegas Raiders head coach52:20 - Playoff Deliveries presented by PrimeZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Mike McCarthy, Bill Belichick & more head coach hiring cycle news | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes and give the how and why on the latest news around the NFL. The head coach hiring cycle is in full swing, and the trio kick things off by discussing Jori and Charles' upcoming piece on the best and worst head coach vacancies around the NFL. The consensus is that Carolina is the worst, while Philadelphia and Dallas would be the best should they open up. That leads to a conversation around Nick Sirianni and Mike McCarthy, and whether the two NFC East coaches are safe or not (and whether they should be). Charles strongly believes Bill Belichick would not be a good fit in Dallas, but would be in Atlanta.Jim Harbaugh interviewed with the Los Angeles Chargers, and Charles and Jori are both fairly sure he will return to the NFL this offseason given the rumors coming out of Michigan. The Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons appear to be the frontrunners.New England Patriots Head Coach Jerod Mayo had his first press conference, and Jori had some key takeaways, including the fact that Mayo had it written in his contract that he would succeed Belichick (which is very rare). Charles was impressed with Robert Kraft's clear vote of confidence in Mayo going forward.00:55 - Is this head coach pool different than previous years?9:15 - Best & worst head coach vacancies20:20 - Future of Philadelphia Eagles & Dallas Cowboys44:35 - Will Jim Harbaugh be an NFL coach this year?46:55 - Jerod Mayo & the New England PatriotsZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Lions roar, Texans stampede, Cowboys cowboy | Sunday Night Blitz
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to recap a wildly unpredictable start to Super Wild Card Weekend full of upsets and unexpected heroes. The duo start off with the Sunday games and the Detroit Lions' curse-breaking victory over the Los Angeles Rams, as the Lions have provided every fan of a moribund NFL franchise with hope for the future. Earlier, the Green Bay Packers handed the Dallas Cowboys yet another devastating playoff loss, as Fitz and Frank aren't sure if Mike McCarthy OR Dak Prescott will survive the onslaught of fan pressure that's to come.On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs got a gritty win against the Miami Dolphins, proving they're tougher than people give them credit for. The Dolphins were never able to adjust the cold and invite a lot of questions heading into the offseason. The Cleveland Browns fell to the Houston Texans 14-45, as Joe Flacco came back to Earth and C.J. Stroud asserted himself as a truly elite AFC quarterback. The Texans' one-year turnaround has been wild to watch, and they look like a team that's ready to keep it rolling deeper in the postseason.Fitz and Frank will return to recap Monday's games on Monday night.1:10 - Los Angeles Rams @ Detroit Lions11:20 - Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys26:50 - Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs35:20 - Cleveland Browns @ Houston TexansZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

The real NFL MVP, AFC playoff race predictions with Tony Calatayud | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by Tony Calatayud of the Dan LeBetard Show to dive into their takeaways from Week 13 and attempt to get to the bottom of the some of the biggest questions around the NFL this week. Charles and Tony start things off with some funny storylines from the weekend, including Zach Wilson's reluctance to start again for the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles head of security getting himself and Dre Greenlaw ejected from Sunday's game.Next, the duo dive into the field of contenders for MVP in an especially weird year. While Brock Purdy is the odds-on favorite currently, neither agree he truly deserves the award (and neither does Jalen Hurts). Both agree Tyreek Hill is the most deserving, but can a non-quarterback win the MVP in 2023? Charles also believes Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is the most deserving of the Coach of the Year award currently.Later, Charles and Tony take a look at the AFC playoff race and decide who they have more trust in between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs coming off bad losses, and who they'd be more scared to face in the playoffs between the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins.1:15 - Zach Wilson reluctant to start for the New York Jets again?12:10 - "Big Dom" gets himself and Dre Greenlaw ejected19:05 - Who's the true MVP of the NFL?48:10 - Shane Steichen for Coach of the Year52:10 - AFC playoff race talkZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

The Ravens offense finally clicked as they steamrolled a hyped-up Lions team, Deshaun Watson was oddly held out of a close game in Indianapolis as the Browns beat the Colts without his help, and the Bills suffered yet another devastating loss, this time at the hands of the Patriots and Bill Belichick, who proved why he is still one of the greatest coaches ever.Fitz and Frank move on to discussing the rest of Sunday's games one by one as they debate over the Raiders' meltdown, how much to trust the Seahawks, Jordan Love's unceremonious fall back to Earth, whether or not we're overrating Justin Herbert and much more.2:40 - Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles8:10 - Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens13:45 - Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts19:10 - Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots24:25 - Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears28:50 - Washington Commanders @ New York Giants31:10 - Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers33:55 - Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks37:30 - Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos43:35 - Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams49:10 - Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs57:25 - MNF Preview: San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota VikingsZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Christian Gonzalez is out for the season, leading the New England Patriots to trade for Los Angeles Chargers CB J.C. Jackson, prompting the hosts to discuss what went wrong for Jackson in LA. Randy Gregory was released from the Denver Broncos after playing only ten games of his five-year contract, as Sean Payton shows he's not hesitant to shed pieces that don't fit his vision for the team. Aaron Rodgers has stated that he wants to return to play this season. The hosts aren't sure that's possible, and even if he does, it may not be in the best interest of the New York Jets or Rodgers. Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor returned to practice, but Charles isn't convinced he'll actually play for the Colts.Is Bill Belichick on the hot seat? Charles thinks so. The history for ownership getting rid of legendary coaches is rocky at best, but one route Robert Kraft could take would be to remove his powers as General Manager and elsewhere on the staff to encourage Bill to retire.As the hosts prepare for a huge matchup on Sunday between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, a conversation ensues about Cowboys DC Dan Quinn.

Fixing broken NFL offenses with Nate Tice | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by the great Nate Tice as they become Dr. Football and Dr. Football (no relation), experts in fixing broken NFL offenses. But first, the duo give their takeaways from Week 4. Charles and Nate give their thoughts on Rodney Harrison trying to bait Chris Jones into trash talking Zach Wilson, Derek Carr trying (and failing) to play hurt, the Toy Story broadcast and Sunday Night Football and the controversial no-call on New York Jets DE Jermaine Johnson II.Later, Charles and Nate fix the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins offenses. Each team has had their flaws put on display at some point through the first four weeks of NFL action, and the hosts attempt to give a potential solution to get each team back on track.2:30 - Rodney Harrison goes off on Zach Wilson on Sunday Night Football. Did he really think Chris Jones would bite?8:50 - Derek Carr tried to play hurt, and the New Orleans Saints hit a wall on Sunday.21:00 - The Toy Story broadcast was underrated and Charles and Nate both enjoyed it.24:10 - Sunday Night Football: Was Jermaine Johnson II right that the refs missed a key holding call?31:20 - Fixing the New York Giants offense: the scheme isn't built for Daniel Jones to drop back too often.37:20 - The Pittsburgh Steelers offense needs to get a lot more creative under OC Matt Canada.43:55 - The Cincinnati Bengals offense was never meant to be run in the shotgun, but it's forced to with the Burrow injury.50:20 - The Atlanta Falcons need to look more like they do in the second half of games than the first. Desmond Ridder is being underrated.57:20 - The Miami Dolphins offense is elite, but they need to show they can still function when they're behind and under pressure.Leave Charles a voicemail!

Later, the duo give their bold predictions for the upcoming slate of games on Sunday.2:45 - 32 to 24: How are the 0-3 Vikings ahead of multiple teams with wins? Do the Arizona Cardinals deserve to be higher than 28?9:35 - 23 to 11: How high do the Indianapolis Colts deserve to be after a big road win against Baltimore? The Pittsburgh Steelers might be too high at 14, and the Cincinnati Bengals might be a little high at 11.17:10 - Top 10: Do the Dallas Cowboys deserve to fall three spots to #6 after one bad game? Are there 4 teams better than the Miami Dolphins?26:40 - Frank picks teams whose rankings could look silly in a few weeks: The Jacksonville Jaguars could be much higher soon, and the Steelers and Atlanta Falcons could be a lot lower in few weeks.35:05 - Bold Predictions: Fitz predicts that whichever head coach loses this weekend in the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers game will be fired.

Caleb Williams sweepstakes, inside the Broncos and Jets locker rooms | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by senior NFL reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to pull back the curtain and give an insider's perspective on the latest news around the NFL. The trio start with the Los Angeles Chargers and Mike Williams, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. Next, they discuss C.J. Stroud's breakout game and the future of the Houston Texans. Davante Adams has hinted that he'll potentially want out of Las Vegas if they continue losing, and Charles breaks down how it could happen. In other news, the Caleb Williams sweepstakes are on, and the hosts discuss whether or not Williams would actually go back to school another year. The Chicago Bears appear to be the odds-on favorite through three weeks.Later, Jason, Jori and Charles pull back the curtain on the latest stories around the NFL and how they're being handled in NFL front offices. The rumor that owners were upset about the Miami Dolphins running up the score last weekend was just that: a rumor, but on the other side of the field, the Denver Broncos are changing their mentality in the locker room after the historic loss. New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has stayed consistent in his belief in Zach Wilson, but Charles is worried this could become a repeat of last season, when the defense began to turn on leadership for not holding Wilson accountable.3:30 - Mike Williams injury: is this just another one of those years for the Chargers?10:25 - C.J. Stroud had his breakout game17:30 - Could Davante Adams be on the move?27:20 - Caleb Williams sweepstakes are on34:10 - Behind the scenes of the fallout from the Miami Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos49:30 - Inside the locker room of the New York Jets: is Saleh playing this well?Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Evaluating first-year starting QBs with Derrik Klassen | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by Bleacher Report QB guru Derrik Klassen to discuss what they saw in Week 2 of NFL action and talk all things quarterback as they decide which first-year starters are playing the best so far. The duo start by recapping Week 2, including David Bakhtiari's war against turf, the NFC North's early struggles, the wildest game of the week (New York Giants beating the Arizona Cardinals), Zach Wilson and Josh Allen being put on a leash (with differing results) and Nick Chubb's disastrous knee injury. Next, they evaluate Jordan Love, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell, Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson to determine who inspires the most confidence through two weeks of football.4:10 - Green Bay Packers LT David Bakhtiari is apparently refusing to play football on turf fields. Is there any offensive lineman in history who could sit out to protest turf fields and actually make a difference?12:25 - The NFC North has disappointed so far. The Packers have looked okay, but the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears appear to be heading in the wrong direction.20:40 - The Giants' huge comeback victory over the Cardinals on Sunday was one of the wildest games we've seen. It may not be enough to restore our faith in the Giants, however, as both their offense and defense have changed a lot from last year and don't appear to have clicked yet.26:25 - After Week 1's crazy Monday matchup between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, Josh Allen and Zach Wilson both appeared to be put on a leash in Week 2. Allen thrived in the limited offense, while Wilson struggled mightily, especially at the end of the game.32:20 - Nick Chubb's catastrophic knee injury: what does it mean for him and the Cleveland Browns offense that's built around him?39:00 - Evaluating first-year starting quarterbacks: Jordan Love looks great. He has developed well and has the talent to make any throw necessary.42:10 - Desmond Ridder looked very limited in Week 1, but he was cut loose in Week 2 and looked much better. His abilities on third down and in the red zone are a big reason the Atlanta Falcons are 2-0.48:20 - Sam Howell has impressed thus far, and while his lowlights have been very low, his highlights show that he has NFL starter arm talent. 50:50 - Shorter quarterbacks can succeed in the NFL, but Bryce Young's size has been an issue so far. He looks like he's struggling to find open lanes in the middle of the field, and collapsing pockets swallow him up quickly. He looks overwhelmed.55:30 - C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson have both impressed early. Klassen is particularly high on Stroud, whose processing and playmaking in and out of the pocket have been better than advertised.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Panic meter for 0-2 teams & Week 2 instant analysis | Sunday Night Blitz
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant reactions to every game from the Week 2 Sunday slate of NFL games. Jason and Frank start off by deciding where every 0-2 team is on the panic meter before diving into the rest of the games and deciding which teams they have the most faith in moving forward.3:20 - Fitz and Frank decide whether it's time to sound the panic alarm for every 0-2 team, starting off with the New England Patriots with their loss in primetime to the Miami Dolphins, then the Cincinnati Bengals with their discouraging loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Chicago Bears after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Chargers after a heartbreaking loss to the Tennessee Titans and the Denver Broncos after barely falling to the Washington Commanders.29:35 - The duo give instant analysis on each of the games in the Sunday early slate: an entertaining win by the Atlanta Falcons over Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers, a statement win by the Buffalo Bills over the Las Vegas Raiders, an overtime victory by the Seattle Seahawks over the Detroit Lions, a division victory by the Indianapolis Colts over the Houston Texans (is it time to have the quarterback conversation?) and a defensive win by the Kansas City Chiefs over the Jacksonville Jaguars.45:50 - Fitz and Frank move on to the late slate, where the New York Giants pulled out a massive win over the plucky Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys continued impressing in a win over the New York Jets. Fitz debates with Frank about how we should power rank the AFC East moving forward.51:25 - The hosts finish things off by looking ahead to the double header on Monday Night Football and deciding what they're most excited to see in the game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as the matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers. Frank is most excited to see Bryce Young in action, while Fitz wants to see if the Browns and Steelers offenses can bounce back from a shaky first week.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Next, the duo discuss whether or not it's time to sound the alarm for Josh Allen and look ahead to Week 2 with the Weekend 180, as they decide on teams that could look totally different than we saw in Week 1.25:10 - Fitz is joined by legendary defensive end JJ Watt to catch up on how retirement is treating him after his first Sunday not on the field. Watt also gives his opinion on why defenses looked better than offenses in Week 1 and his thoughts on the Chiefs offensive line jumping.30:45 - Country superstar and diehard Dallas Cowboys fan Chris Young joins Fitz to discuss the Cowboys's red hot start on Sunday Night Football and his expectations for the season, the Texas Longhorns' huge victory over Alabama and the worst bar tab he's ever been stuck with.43:20 - Actor and comedian Rob Riggle joins to recount his experience when the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl, give a very oddly-specific prediction for the upcoming Chiefs game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and show off his group chat with other Chiefs fan celebrities.

Do contract holdouts even work? Future of the Jets + News or Noise? | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporter Charles Robinson to pull back the curtain on the latest news around the NFL. The crew start with the Chris Jones contract and what the failed holdouts this season mean for the future of the franchise tag. Next, they address some key injuries in the AFC North, including J.K. Dobbins, Diontae Johnson and Jack Conklin. Finally, the duo dive into the Aaron Rodgers injury and what the New York Jets plan to do next. Fitz and Charles wrap up the show with a new segment where they decide what's news and what's noise over the last week.4:55 - Chris Jones' holdout has ended as he has a new 1-year, $25M contract. All three major holdouts this offseason have ended favorably for the teams, and a conversation ensues over whether the franchise tag issue will ever be solved given it affects so few players every season.11:20 - There are a few key injuries in the AFC North, including Baltimore Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson and Cleveland Browns RT Jack Conklin. The duo discuss whether or not each of these teams need to add more talent and how the dynamic has shifted in the AFC North after only one week.30:00 - The Jets Super Bowl hopes took a massive hit Monday night with the injury of Aaron Rodgers, and Charles points out how critical it was that General Manager Joe Douglas fought to keep the first-round pick sent to the Green Bay Packers as conditional. Both agree the Jets will try to acquire a veteran familiar with OC Nathaniel Hackett's offense and discuss a few potential options (no, Tom Brady is not a realistic option.)50:35 - News or Noise? The duo react to more news around the NFL and decide whether or not it's something to pay attention to or if it's just noise. The NFLPA has called for an end to turf fields, but Charles needs to see more evidence that turf fields actually cause injuries before this becomes news. Colin Kaepernick's agent reached out to the Jets, but after 7 years away from football, both agree it's not realistic to think he'll get another chance in the league. Arthur Smith said as long as his team –the Atlanta Falcons – is winning, his skill players aren't concerned about their usage, but both agree that won't last forever. There is mounting pressure on Smith to use Drake London and Kyle Pitts optimally.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Disaster strikes for the Jets, Jordan Love looks legit and more Week 1 takeaways | The Exempt List
Charles McDonald is joined by SB Nation's Justis Mosqueda to dive into the latest in a wild week in the NFL world. The duo start by discussing AI making its way into the NFL before recapping the Greek tragedy that unfolded on the field in last night's Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets primetime matchup, which resulted in Aaron Rodger's unfortunate injury. Later, Charles and Justis give more analysis from NFL Week 1, including the teams they have the least faith in going forward, and cap off the show with analysis about the Green Bay Packers' impressive performance against the Bears and what it means for their season.2:50 - AI has made its way to the NFL and we're not sure how to feel about it. The Dallas Cowboys introduced a very creepy Jerry Jones AI portrait, while the Los Angeles Chargers had AI robots roaming the stadium on Sunday to promote a movie. Charles is creeped out.7:40 - Disaster struck the Jets on Monday night, as Aaron Rodgers is out for the season with an Achilles injury. Charles was at the game and describes one of the most drastic shifts in energy he's ever experienced in the crowd. The duo discuss where the Jets go from here, where the Jets went wrong this offseason and a concerning performance for the Bills' Josh Allen.30:00 - Charles and Justis dive into more takeaways from Week 1, including the apparent lack of development from the Chicago Bears and the Atlanta Falcons' refusal to use their most talented players.

The duo focus specifically on the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns for their statement wins before giving their analysis on the rest of the games.00:45 - The Cowboys showed us who they are with their dominant victory over the New York Giants, who looked unprepared for the Cowboys defense.7:05 - It's time to believe in Tua Tagovailoa as one of the best in the NFL, as the Dolphins looked like true contenders in their gutsy win over the Los Angeles Chargers.15:00 - Frank was skeptical of Brock Purdy prior to today, but he looked fantastic as the 49ers steamrolled the Pittsburgh Steelers.20:25 - The Browns defense looked better than many anticipated as they shut down the Cincinnati Bengals offense, but the Bengals always start slow and should be okay going forward.28:40 - Mike Vrabel made a decision today that probably cost the Tennessee Titans the game, as the New Orleans Saints managed to hold them off.33:20 - Frank has been confident in the Green Bay Packers all offseason, and they showed today that they are going to challenge the Detroit Lions in the division. The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, look a little too similar to what they were last year.35:50 - Jimmy Garoppolo showed up when it counts to give the Las Vegas Raiders their first win of the season. Russell Wilson seemed to be playing it a little too safe according to Frank.38:40 - Both Trevor Lawrence and Anthony Richardson impressed, while the Jacksonville Jaguars managed to pull out a close win.41:05 - Fitz may have been wrong about the Patriots. They managed to hang around and give Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles a game.43:10 - Frank was shocked to see the Seattle Seahawks look this bad. The Rams young WRs looked great in Cooper Kupp's absence.45:25 - The J.K. Dobbins injury could prove costly for the Baltimore Ravens, who had a pyrrhic victory today over the Houston Texans and may need to seek veteran help.47:20 - Frank loves Kirk Cousins, but this was a classic Kirk Cousins game for the Minnesota Vikings. He had good stats, but not enough to win when it counted.49:40 - Neither Desmond Ridder nor Bryce Young played great today, but they'll need time to get settled into their offenses. The lack of targets for Kyle Pitts and Drake London was inexplicable.52:35 - The Arizona Cardinals came to play today, and Washington escaped with what Frank thinks is a disappointing win. They'll need to show up with more energy when they're not playing a team like the Cardinals.55:20 - Fitz and Frank look ahead to Monday night, where the Buffalo Bills take on the New York Jets. Is the best game of the week yet to come?Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Chiefs-Lions recap: What's real and what's fake? + Burrow & Bosa contracts
Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the inaugural episode of Zero Blitz by recapping an exciting start to the NFL season, where the Detroit Lions managed to hold off the depleted Kansas City Chiefs for a big victory. The trio recap the game and decide what's real and what's fake coming out of it. Later, the crew break down the Nick Bosa and Joe Burrow contract extensions, including the interesting timing of the Burrow announcement. Finally, the hosts get you ready for Week 1 of NFL action by giving the game they're most excited to watch this weekend.7:30 - The Lions managed to hold on to beat a Chiefs team (without stars Travis Kelce and Chris Jones) by one point. This game showed that there's a limit to how much Mahomes can carry the team around him, as his receivers were repeatedly making unacceptable mistakes. On the Lions side, this is an exciting victory for a team that looks to be a true contender in the NFC, as their strengths were apparent and the defense (especially the secondary) seemed to be improved upon last year.19:15 - Real or Fake? The trio decide what we can really take away from this game. Most importantly, the Chiefs clearly need Chris Jones back ASAP, and the Lions' dominant offensive line is no joke. Chiefs fans don't need to freak out quite yet, but this loss could end up hurting them later in the season in a tight AFC race for the first seed.31:55 - Nick Bosa became the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, and shortly afterwards, Joe Burrow became the highest-paid player overall in NFL history. Robinson thinks there was something to the timing of the announcement (right as the Chiefs game started) that might have been meant to take away the spotlight from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, but he can't be sure. McDonald is excited that both Mahomes and Burrow are under long-term contracts, as the Chiefs' rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals will continue for years to come.44:20 - Each host gives a game they can't wait to watch this weekend for Week 1 of the NFL season. Charles McDonald is most excited for the Miami Dolphins to take on the Los Angeles Chargers to see if Tua Tagovailoa can pick up where he left off last year. Charles Robinson can't wait for the Buffalo Bills vs. the New York Jets on Monday night for all the storylines to come out of that game – no matter who wins. Fitz is excited to see the Pittsburgh Steelers against the San Francisco 49ers to see if two young quarterbacks can carry their talented rosters and make it a close game.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Trey Lance trade makes no sense, Joe Burrow extension, RB drama + a BIG announcement
Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald join forces for the last time as You Pod to Win the Game as they react to a wild news week around the NFL. Jonathan Taylor may never play another snap for the Indianapolis Colts, the Dallas Cowboys shock the world and trade for Trey Lance, Josh Jacobs gets a one-year deal, Joe Burrow returns to practice ahead of his contract extension, and the crew give their most surprising cuts from roster cutdown day.00:25 - Yahoo Sports has a new NFL podcast! Charles Robinson outlines the upcoming transition to Zero Blitz and what to expect as we level up our NFL coverage heading into the 2023 season.6:55 - The Colts' deadline to trade Jonathan Taylor has passed, and he will now start the season on the PUP list. Robinson believes Taylor will never play another snap for Indianapolis.The Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers have been named as potential trade partners, and it's looking like Taylor will be traded before the deadline in October.19:40 - The Dallas Cowboys acquired QB Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers in a move that the hosts agree makes very little sense. Even if Lance develops into a good quarterback over the next few years, you'll immediately have to pay him what Dak Prescott is already being paid.37:00 - Josh Jacobs and Las Vegas Raiders resolved their conflict as he receives a new deal. This patches things over for now, but if the Raiders struggle early, they're going to get phone calls about players like Jacobs, Davante Adams and Chandler Jones.42:35 - Joe Burrow has returned to practice for the Cincinnati Bengals. Robinson expects his looming contract extension to get done before he steps on the field in the regular season.50:00 - Most surprising cuts from roster cutdown day: the hosts are especially confused by the Arizona Cardinals cutting QB Colt McCoy, who was slated to be the starter all offseason with Kyler Murray out. It's clear the Cardinals are tanking for next season, but this move is still surprising.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Rookie quarterback check-in, Chris Jones holdout, teams who changed our mind
It's an exciting week in the NFL, and Charles McDonald and Frank Schwab are here to give their analysis on all the latest news. Will Levis has a lifetime mayonnaise sponsorship, Chris Jones is threatening to hold out deep into the regular season, Jonathan Taylor is seeking a trade, Baker Mayfield has been named the starter and the Baltimore Ravens lost their 24-game preseason win streak. Later, the duo each give a team that's changed their minds through their surprising play this preseason and check in on each of the rookie quarterbacks (plus Jordan Love) as the preseason starts to come to a close.6:00 - Kansas City Chiefs star DT Chris Jones has threatened to continue his holdout up to Week 8 of the regular season, which would cost him close to $10M in fines. Charles and Frank agree this likely a bluff for leverage, and they believe the contract could get done before the start of the season, even if it's not for the #30M+ that Jones is likely seeking.12:40 - Jonathan Taylor has been given permission to seek a trade. The hosts discuss some potential landing spots, although Charles is pretty convinced that Indianapolis is the best place for him to be. Frank would love to see the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills or even the Cincinnati Bengals make a play for the star RB.22:55 - Baker Mayfield has been named the starting QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a drawn-out competition. The Buccaneers are not likely to compete for much this year given Tom Brady's massive dead cap hit, even in a weak NFC South.32:35 - Teams that have changed our minds this preseason: Frank points out the Pittsburgh Steelers, as their offense looks to have taken a significant step under second-year QB Kenny Pickett. Charles likes what he's seen from the Washington Commanders, who have a loaded roster capable of making noise in the NFC East if QB Sam Howell can perform.39:50 - Jordan Love has been balling out so far this preseason for the Green Bay Packers. Frank thinks the Packers roster has been underrated this offseason, and that Love is capable of being a top-15 QB or better this year. That could be enough to win the NFC North.46:10 - Rookie QB check-in: It's been hard to evaluate Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young so far, as his offensive line hasn't been able to protect him. That's a major concern heading into the season. Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud has struggled a bit so far, and he's looked uncomfortable in the pocket. Charles thinks he needs to relax and settle into the Houston offense. Anthony Richardson has been lighting it up for the Indianapolis Colts, and Frank thinks a Cam Newton-like rookie season isn't off the table for him, as he can use his amazing size and speed to produce.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Should Sam Howell be starting? Can the Panthers protect Bryce Young?
Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald give their analysis on the latest news around the NFL – including the Washington Commanders naming Sam Howell as their starter – and give their biggest takeaways from New York Jets training camp after visiting last week. The trio wrap up the show with their biggest takeaways so far this preseason: Jori on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB competition, Charles Robinson on the offensive line problem around the NFL and Charles McDonald on the Carolina Panthers and whether or not they can protect Bryce Young.4:25 - Sam Howell was named the starting quarterback for the Commanders, and while Robinson likes the move, McDonald doesn't see how Howell is a better option over Jacoby Brissett. The Charleses debate over which QB is the better option for the long term and the short term.20:10 - Jets training camp recap: Jori was interested in Dalvin Cook's lack of energy in his first press conference as a Jet, while McDonald is concerned about their situation at offensive tackle, and specifically how they plan to get the most out of Mekhi Becton this season.29:40 - Preseason takeaways: Charles Robinson thinks the NFL has an offensive line problem. Fewer and fewer prospects are coming out of college ready to pass protect in the NFL, and it's putting a heavy premium on good coaching. McDonald gives his thoughts on what's changed in recent years to cause this problem.44:50 - Jori wonders if it's time for concern that the Buccaneers still haven't named their starting QB between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. There is no sign of a decision being made despite players expressing their frustration. It's important that starting offenses have time to get on the same page – it's odd that it's taking this long.53:05 - C Mac doesn't like what he's seen from the Panthers offensive line so far, and he wonders if they'll be able to protect their rookie starter, Bryce Young. Young is already undersized for the position, and Carolina doesn't have the weapons at skill positions to make up for their pass blocking deficiencies.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Does Dalvin Cook change the Jets? Training camp takeaways
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein recap the whirlwind of news around the NFL, including the New York Jets signing Dalvin Cook, Jonathan Taylor returning to camp, the Dallas Cowboys paying Zack Martin and the New England Patriots signing Ezekiel Elliott. Later, the duo give their biggest takeaways from the latest training camps they've visited, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys.1:50 - The Jets signed Dalvin Cook, who is the cherry on top for a roster that looks ready to compete for a Super Bowl. The Jets are officially all in, and it's hard not to project them as legitimate contenders barring some concerns along the offensive line.12:50 - Cowboys All-Pro guard Zack Martin gets paid, as he gets an $8M raise for the next two seasons. Martin is the kind of player who is a no-brainer to pay, but Dallas has a few big extensions coming up they'll have to plan for in guys like Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb.20:50 - The Patriots signed Ezekiel Elliott, who will complement Rhamondre Stevenson in a backfield that needed a short-yardage guy.24:25 - Jonathan Taylor returned to camp Monday, but there's no reason to think the tension between Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts is anywhere near resolved. Charles thinks the Colts would be right to pay Taylor, especially if they see Taylor and Richardson form a connection once the season starts. The running back market continues to be a hot topic of debate around the NFL.39:30 - Jori visited Cowboys camp and is most excited to see their wide receivers take a big step forward. Dak and his receivers have made their chemistry a huge point of emphasis, and they added speedy veteran Brandin Cooks.46:20 - Charles visited Steelers camp, and he thinks the connection between QB Kenny Pickett and his wide receivers (including Allen Robinson and George Pickens) has taken a jump. The AFC North will be a bloodbath this season.52:50 - Building off the focus on QB and WR connections, Jori saw improvements in the game of both Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Brown appears to have gotten faster, while Hurts has put work into his passing and hopes to build off of a lethal 2022 campaign.59:10 - Charles rounds out the podcast by giving his takeaway from Titans camp: this roster is being underrated. The defense is full of stars, while the offense seems to have added some exciting new pieces. If Ryan Tannehill can stay healthy, this team could compete in the AFC South.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

What we learned from NFL training camp, Hard Knocks recap
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald start by reacting to the latest news around the NFL, including their thoughts on the first episode of Hard Knocks, some concerning comments surrounding Joe Burrow's injury and the situation with Jonathan Taylor and Kareem Hunt in Indianapolis. Later, they give some takeaways from training camps they've visited over the last week, including the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals.2:10 - The duo give their thoughts on the first episode of Hard Knocks featuring the New York Jets. While Robinson enjoyed the energy and thought it was full of intriguing characters, McDonald thought it was too favorable towards Aaron Rodgers and clearly whitewashed by the team. Both agree it lacked real investigative journalism, but Robinson points out that you shouldn't expect that from a show like Hard Knocks anymore.17:50 - Could Joe Burrow miss the first month of the season? WR Ja'Marr Chase made some comments that hint Burrow could miss regular season time. Robinson says if he were a Cincinnati Bengals fan, he'd be concerned that Burrow's calf injury could be more serious than the team is letting on.24:15 - RB Kareem Hunt was brought in for a workout with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, who are both looking for backfield help after Alvin Kamara's three-game suspension and Jonathan Taylor's extended hold out, respectively. Robinson and McDonald both agree the best path forward for the Colts is to extend Taylor, who is the type of running back worth paying.41:10 - Charles Robinson was at 49ers camp and thinks the quarterback race has been decided already. Sam Darnold and Trey Lance struggled mightily, and Brock Purdy appears to be the guy heading into this season. The team hopes he can repeat the magic from his 2022 campaign.48:40 - Charles McDonald visited Ravens camp, and he is curious to see how this new-look offense will take shape. Will they ask QB Lamar Jackson to run as much as he has been in previous years, or will they allow him to command a more modern pass-heavy offense? Lamar looks like he's put on muscle and should have one of his best seasons ever if he can stay healthy.55:20 - Robinson's main takeaway from Broncos training camp: decisiveness. Head coach Sean Payton clearly knows how he wants the team to be run, and it's immediately clear that he's establishing his culture already. There are a few injuries to be concerned about for Broncos fans, but the defense looks to be good once again while the offense hopes to bounce back with QB Russell Wilson in great shape.1:01:30 - Robinson was at Cardinals training camp, and he was impressed by new head coach Jonathan Gannon's energy, and even said Gannon reminded him of when Mike Tomlin first took over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cardinals are going to build around their defense and try to fix a culture that had been lacking over the past few years. He also thinks Gannon will put his weight behind QB Kyler Murray and won't look to move on in next year's draft without cause.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Answering big questions around NFL training camp
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein react to the latest news out of NFL training camp, including the contentious situation between the Indianapolis Colts and Jonathan Taylor, Joe Burrow's calf injury and the Denver Broncos WR injuries. Later, the duo attempt to answer some of the biggest questions to come out of the training camps they visited, including the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears and Las Vegas Raiders.3:55 - Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, and tempers have boiled over after owner Jim Irsay made some odd comments about the situation. Both hosts agree it's very possible Taylor never plays another snap for the Colts, but Jori has trouble seeing how the Colts get much return in a trade given the availability of other cheaper running backs already in free agency. Irsay has made the situation harder to deal with for the Colts front office, and it appears one camp will need to make major concessions in order to get this resolved.12:35 - Should Joe Burrow step on the field again before his contract has been signed given his calf injury? Jori talked to agents and front office executives, the majority of which believed it would be in Burrow's best interest to "hold in" until he becomes the NFL's next highest-paid player. The injury likely won't affect the dollar amount of the contract, but it has shifted the tone of the negotiations and added urgency to the situation.20:25 - The Broncos had some unfortunate injury luck in their wide receiver room, as Tim Patrick is out for the season with a heartbreaking achilles injury. KJ Hamler will also miss time dealing with a minor heart condition. On the bright side, Charles points out this opens up opportunities for players like second-round pick Marvin Mims, who head coach Sean Payton is reportedly excited about.27:20 - Have the Seahawks made up enough ground on the San Francisco 49ers to challenge for the NFC West title? Jori was at Seahawks camp and believes there is enough talent to give the 49ers a run for their money. Jori is most excited about the lethal WR trio in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while Charles is rooting for a return to a dominant running style with RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.32:35 - How far can the Rams go this season with such a top-heavy roster? Charles thinks the best case for this roster is about nine wins, even with Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp and Sean McVay. While at camp, Charles said you can tell the team hasn't had a first-round pick since 2016.45:35 - Is Bears QB Justin Fields ready to take the year three Josh Allen leap? Jori said reports were all positive coming out of Bears camp so far, but it's important to not set the bar too high with Fields. The style of offense the Bears are running won't require Fields to be an air raid quarterback, and fans shouldn't be expecting that from him. If Fields does improve upon last year, the Bears will be set up well to be serious competitors in the NFC.51:15 - Should the Raiders keep WR Davante Adams on the roster? Only one season removed from the Raiders acquiring the star receiver from the Green Bay Packers, the team already looks to be in a different competitive phase. While they aren't tanking, it doesn't appear the Raiders will be ready to contend for a Super Bowl this season. Charles believes Vegas will need about three years before they are seriously competitive again. Is it smart to keep an expensive 30-year old wideout throughout that period? It will be interesting to see how the Raiders handle this dilemma.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

What does the Justin Herbert contract mean for Joe Burrow's future?
On Tuesday afternoon, Justin Herbert became the highest paid QB in the league...for now. Despite signing the league's richest QB deal, after Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson did the same earlier this offseason, all eyes now shift to Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who was selected five picks ahead of Herbert and has won considerably more playoff games in their short careers.Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to talk about what Justin Herbert's deal means for both the Los Angeles Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. With QB money going up and up, who will be the first franchise QB to not command upwards of $40 million (or $50 million) per year?Next, they chat about New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley receiving some paltry incentives added onto his one-year deal, and how the potential $900k Barkley could receive will be very hard to earn and does nothing to change how running backs are paid in the league.Later, Jori talks about what she learned visiting Cleveland Browns camp this week & Robinson reports from Dallas Cowboys camp, where there are high expectations for success in an easy-to-win NFC landscape.3:15 - Justin Herbert's extension & Joe Burrow's impending deal26:30 - Saquon Barkley's underwhelming contract win40:10 - All eyes on Deshaun Watson at Cleveland Browns camp48:50 - It's win-now mode at Dallas Cowboys campStay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

All 25-and-under team, future of the RB position, Commanders sale
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald discuss the finalized sale of the Washington Commanders and Dan Snyder's legacy, the discourse around the league over the value of the running back position, Evan Engram's new contract and Dak Prescott before drafting the best team they can with only players aged 25 and under.00:35 - The sale of the Washington Commanders is expected to be finalized today. Robinson and McDonald give their lasting memories of now former owner Dan Snyder's legacy in Washington, including some big free agency misses, a decaying stadium and more. Both believe brighter days are ahead for Commanders fans.9:25 - The running back pay scale is reaching its tipping point as players are now publicly speaking out about the unfair nature of the running back market. Robinson puts forth a potential solution: getting rid of the franchise tag. He thinks the NFLPA should be all in on removing the franchise tag in the next CBA, as it will force teams to pay RBs before they run out of tread on the tires after 5-6 years. It'll be interesting to see how long Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs hold out of training camp.20:45 - The Jacksonville Jaguars signed TE Evan Engram to a contract extension. Engram was a key part of their offense last year, but neither host thought this deal would get done before the deadline last Monday. Engram looks to be one of Trevor Lawrence's favorite weapons this year as the Jaguars hope to take advantage of a weak AFC South.25:40 - Buy or sell: Dak Prescott will throw less than ten interceptions this year. Dak said earlier this week he hopes to throw under ten this season after throwing a career-high 15 in 2022. Although Dak is set up well for a bounce-back year in Dallas, this whole conversation ties into Dak's upcoming contract negotiations and whether or not he's earned another big payday.33:55 - All-25 and under team offense! The Charleses debate between Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert at quarterback before selecting Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, Garrett Wilson and Kyle Pitts for the skill positions. Andrew Thomas, Tristan Wirfs, Trey Smith, Tyler Smith and Creed Humphrey make up the offensive line.55:35 - All-25 and under team defense: on the defensive line, the duo select Nick Bosa, Quinnen Williams, Jeffery Simmons and Micah Parsons. At linebacker, they select Jordyn Brooks and Patrick Queen. In the secondary they put Patrick Surtain II, Sauce Gardner and Tariq Woolen at cornerback and Kyle Hamilton and Antoine Winfield Jr. at safety.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald recap the biggest news of the week, including Quinnen Williams' brand new extension, the New York Jets on Hard Knocks, Saquon Barkley's impending holdout and Kyler Murray's latest comments. Later, the duo debate over whether or not Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Michael Vick deserve spots in the Hall of Fame and discuss the latest drama surrounding the leaked Jon Gruden emails.2:25 - Quinnen Williams and the New York Jets have reached an agreement on a new four-year extension. While Aaron Rodgers is the most important Jets player right now, Williams could end up being a cornerstone for the Jets franchise for years to come. Robinson says league sources believe he could be the best DT in the NFL a few years down the road.7:20 - The drama around the contract situation with Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants continues, as the deadline to sign franchise tagged players to an extension is Monday. Robinson expects that Saquon will sit out of at least some of Giants training camp to show his displeasure with the situation. It also seems unlikely that any of the other tagged players yet to receive extensions (Evan Engram, Tony Pollard and Josh Jacobs) will get one by Monday.18:00 - The Jets have been selected to be on this year's edition of Hard Knocks. Robinson is most excited to see the dynamic between quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, and how willing Rodgers is to coach Wilson up. McDonald is most interested in how palpable the tension will be around the building as the Jets enter a Super-Bowl-or-bust season. In other media news, Netflix released a new series following Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota throughout the 2022 season, and Robinson gives his takeaways from the first episode.34:10 - Kyler Murray made comments earlier this week that if things don't go well in Arizona, "we all have to look in the mirror." Both hosts agree that Murray has routinely shown a lack of ability to take personal accountability publicly, and morale appears to be at an all-time low in Arizona. Is it possible the Arizona Cardinals try to replace Murray next year if they get an early draft pick? Robinson and McDonald agree it's very much in play.44:15 - Is Andrew Luck a Hall of Famer? The hosts discuss how the bar to enter the Hall of Fame has lowered over time, and whether or not Luck could qualify despite his short career. They extend the question to other fringe HOF QBs like Cam Newton and Michael Vick. Overall, Robinson believes none of the three will get in, but it's an interesting debate.56:05 - Robinson and McDonald put on their detective hats and attempt to determine who leaked the Jon Gruden emails as Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL begins to ramp up. The prime suspects are Roger Goodell himself, former Washington owner Dan Snyder (to take attention off the negative news around his team), or former NFLPA president DeMaurice Smith. Robinson wonders if, in fact, all of them were involved the leak in one way or another and believes this story is only just starting, as sources close to Gruden say that he is on a warpath to take on the NFL.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

2023 Fantasy Football Primer: top player, sleeper pick, top rookie and one to fade
Yahoo Sports' Frank Schwab and Andy Behrens discuss the future of the running back position before joining forces to get you ready for fantasy football season, giving their top player, sleeper pick, top rookie and potential fade at the QB, RB, TE and WR positions.1:05 - Frank and Andy kick things off by discussing the future of the running back position. Fewer and fewer long-term contracts are being handed out to even the top running backs in the game – are we seeing a permanent change in how the NFL plans to handle RBs? Although the situation is unfortunate, Frank thinks there's no real end in sight, and that teams will continue to rely on rookie contracts and franchise tags to avoid getting tied up long-term to a position with a high injury rate. Andy believes Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is right to demand a new contract while he has the leverage to do so coming off a big season.6:00 - Frank and Andy dive into their Fantasy Football Primer with the quarterback position. Both have Patrick Mahomes as their top QB, but they have a discussion around whether or not Lamar Jackson belongs in the conversation as well. Frank has Geno Smith as his sleeper pick and is fading Justin Herbert, while Andy opts for Sam Howell for his sleeper and fades Dak Prescott due to his low ceiling. Both agree that Indianapolis Colts rookie Anthony Richardson is the rookie to watch, as his sky-high rushing potential makes his floor higher than most would think.31:45 - Both hosts agree the top running back this year is Christian McCaffrey even despite the injury concerns, but he is still behind Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase in overall rankings. Frank likes Dameon Pierce and Samaje Perine, while Andy loves Nick Chubb and Elijah Mitchell as value picks. Frank fades Breece Hall, while Andy fades Alvin Kamara. Both are excited to see rookie Bijan Robinson hit the field for the Atlanta Falcons.46:35 - Tight ends: Is Travis Kelce still a first-round type of player? Andy thinks he still has a season or two left of dominance as the top fantasy TE. Both hosts are really excited about Detroit Lions rookie Sam LaPorta making an impact early. Frank is fading Mark Andrews this season.55:10 - Wide receivers: Justin Jefferson is top dog, but Ja'Marr Chase isn't far behind. Frank likes Rashod Bateman and rookie Carolina Panther Jonathan Mingo, while Andy likes Nico Collins in Houston and rookie Jordan Addison in Minnesota. Frank is fading Keenan Allen, while Andy fades Christian Watson.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL team tiers & top 2023 bounce-back candidates
Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald recap the latest NFL news including the NFLPA's new executive director and the latest round of gambling suspensions before diving into Charles' latest article on the five players most likely to have bounce-back seasons in 2023. Later, the duo each organize all 32 NFL teams into tiers. Charles and Jori go tier-by-tier to break down the teams all in on winning the Super Bowl, the teams in full rebuild mode and everything in between. 1:40 - NFL News! The duo react to Lloyd Howell becoming the new executive director of the NFLPA and what it means for the league as well as the latest round of gambling suspensions for a few Indianapolis Colts and a Tennessee Titan. Charles believes this will be one of the last times we see a big wave of gambling suspensions as players start to realize the consequences.12:15 - Charles and Jori dive into Charles' latest article on the five players most likely to have big bounce-back seasons: Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts, Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris, Arizona Cardinals SAF Isaiah Simmons and Chicago Bears WR Chase Claypool.25:25 - NFL team tiers: Jori and Charles organize every NFL team into five tiers of contention, starting with Super Bowl or bust. Both have the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers in this tier, but Charles includes the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens with their talented roster and Jori includes the New York Jets with their addition of Aaron Rodgers and their short contention window.32:55 - Super Bowl sleepers: both hosts have the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys in this tier, but Charles includes the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars because he loves the potential of their quarterbacks.36:55 - Playoff hopefuls: both hosts include the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers. Jori also included the Carolina Panthers because of their weak division, while Charles included the Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons.42:00 - Middle class: Both lists have the Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots here. Jori also included the Washington Commanders, as she thinks they have shown to be consistent and have solid talent on defense. Charles included the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders, as he thinks both teams have enough top-end talent to keep them out of the bottom tier.51:45 - Full rebuild: Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jori and Charles have a conversation about whether or not the Tennessee Titans also belong in this tier.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Buying or selling NFL minicamp rumors
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald discuss the latest news around New England Patriots CB Jack Jones before diving into whether or not head coach Bill Belichick will retire a Patriot as he attempts catch up to Don Shula's regular season wins record. Later, the trio react to some of the boldest quotes to come out of NFL minicamp as they decide whether or not they're buying what teams are selling.4:20 - Patriots CB Jack Jones is arrested for allegedly attempting to bring firearms on an airplane. This comes after Jones was suspended for the last two games of the 2022 season for reasons undisclosed by the team. Jones is a good player and will likely bounce back after this is resolved, but this is a highly unusual situation that makes the hosts wonder what he was thinking.10:20 - Will Bill Belichick retire as a Patriot? Belichick is 30 games behind legendary head coach Don Shula's regular season wins record. With where the Patriots are, that could take 4 or more seasons. If Belichick did decide to start over somewhere else after next season, Robinson thinks NFL owners would likely be highly interested in hiring Belichick on name recognition alone.19:50 - The hosts react to quotes from NFL minicamp, starting with Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker on QB Justin Fields' breakout potential. Could new acquisition D.J. Moore and a new offensive coordinator be the key to Fields taking a Josh Allen-like leap in year three? While no one is buying Fields becoming the best QB in the NFL, he certainly has a sky-high ceiling if the situation around him improves.26:15 - The New York Giants have sky-high expectations for new tight end Darren Waller, who looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders. McDonald points out that Waller is likely going to be used as even more of a pure receiving threat than he was in Vegas, which could lead to a career year if everything lines up right.35:20 - New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu says the addition of QB Derek Carr makes the Saints one of twelve teams that could "go the distance." New Orleans does have a pretty good defense, but there are way too many question marks on offense to be projecting this team as a contender, even in a weak NFC. However, the hosts agree that the Saints could absolutely make the playoffs given their competition in the NFC South.41:50 - New York Jets safety Jordan Whitehead said Aaron Rodgers is having a similar culture effect on the Jets that Tom Brady had one the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he was there. While C Rob thinks Brady was much more locked in and focused on football when he joined the Buccaneers, Jori believes Rodgers is having a very similar effect in New York regardless of the distractions off the field.50:30 - John Harbaugh has high expectations for the Baltimore Ravens wide receivers this season, as he said they could end up being the best group in the NFL. While the group could easily end up being the best that QB Lamar Jackson has played with, none of the hosts think it has a real chance to be the best in the NFL given the various injury concerns.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Could the Saudis ever buy an NFL team? Plus Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook and the RB market
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein analyze the latest news around the NFL as minicamps are underway, including the release of Dalvin Cook, Danielle Hunter and Chris Jones holding out, what might've happened with Stefon Diggs and the standoff between the New York Giants and Saquon Barkley. Later, Robinson dives into his latest piece on whether or not the Saudis could ever attempt to purchase an NFL team after what happened with the PGA.1:50 - Dalvin Cook has been released by the Minnesota Vikings. Charles McDonald thinks it's tough to find a landing spot for him, but the hosts name the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs as logical landing spots. No one expects Cook to get as much money as he's probably seeking on the open market. For the Vikings, this move calls into question whether or not they are entering a rebuilding phase.16:25 - Vikings EDGE Danielle Hunter and Chiefs DL Chris Jones are both holding out of minicamp seeking contract extensions. While Jones seems like a no-brainer for the Chiefs to get done, Hunter's could be more complicated depending on how close the Vikings see themselves to contending.21:45 - What happened with Stefon Diggs? The Bills star WR reportedly left practice early due to a non-contract related issue. It’s unusual and concerning that nobody can determine what the issue was.30:10 - Saquon Barkley is still dissatisfied with being franchise tagged and is looking for a long-term deal from the Giants before the July 17 deadline. Jori suggests the Giants offer a shorter deal that guarantees him similar money to two franchise tags as a way to bridge the gap.39:25 - Could the Saudis ever buy an NFL team? The trio discuss how the NFL should be preparing for a foreign offer on an NFL team given the recent situation with the PGA. If a sovereign wealth fund put an offer on a team that was up to double its market value, how would the owners respond? The hosts believe this is something the NFL owners will quietly try to prepare for in the coming years.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Major QB storylines heading into minicamp, are the Cardinals tanking?
Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald start off by discussing the latest violation of the NFL's gambling policy (this time by Indianapolis Colts CB Isaiah Rodgers Sr.), the Buffalo Bills defensive line after signing Leonard Floyd and extending Ed Oliver and how soon we could see the New York Jets extend DT Quinnen Williams. Next, they discuss the best potential landing spots for former Arizona Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins. Later, they discuss the five major quarterback storylines heading into minicamps, including the Jets and Zach Wilson, the Colts and Anthony Richardson, the San Francisco 49ers and Trey Lance, the Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson and the Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love.2:46 - Isaiah Rodgers is the latest player to violate the NFL's gambling policy. His situation, contrary to some of the more recent violations, is fairly clear cut because he apparently gambled on his own team.9:20 - The Bills sign Leonard Floyd and extend Ed Oliver. Charles thinks the Bills are employing a similar strategy to the Los Angeles Rams a few years ago. as they invest in a deep defensive line while their window is open.11:40 - Jori gives an update on the latest with the Jets and star DT Quinnen Williams, who is seeking a new contract. Can the Jets afford to Williams a market resetting deal given their very limited cap space?15:30 - Where is the best landing spot for WR DeAndre Hopkins? Jori heard that the Bills were originally planning on trading for Hopkins, but it eventually fell through. She likes the Tennessee Titans as a landing spot, while Charles would love to see Hopkins on the Kansas City Chiefs.27:15 - Major QB storylines heading into minicamp. Do the Jets need another backup behind Aaron Rodgers? Zach Wilson has not looked great so far in camp, and the Jets need to make sure they can survive if Rodgers is out for a few games.34:15 - Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson is trending towards being the week one starter in Indy. While many think Richardson needs awhile sit and learn, Charles thinks this could be the right move for Richardson as he learns on the job as long as the team doesn't have high expectations for year one.40:00 - As 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan avoids questions about QB Brock Purdy, Charles wonders if Trey Lance might be playing himself back into contention for the starting role in SF. Jori and Charles discuss how the quarterback situation might play out.45:00 - Is Russell Wilson primed for a bounce-back year under Sean Payton? Charles thinks he might be. Russ still has a playoff-ready roster around him in Denver, and once again the pressure all falls on him to get it done.48:25 - Jori and Charles attempt to determine what would count as a successful year for Packers QB Jordan Love. He has a good offensive line and a decent roster around him, and the NFC North is still wide open. Charles wants Love to be at least top-15 in offensive efficiency stats.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Top five available free agents, takeaways from Giants and Jets OTAs
Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald give their biggest takeaways from witnessing New York Jets and New York Giants OTAs before diving in to Charles' top five available free agents and their ideal landing spots.Jori and Charles kick things off by going through the biggest news around the NFL over the past week, starting with the news that Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo is undergoing foot surgery. Given the lack of depth behind Jimmy G in Vegas, Raiders fans should feel concerned that their season rides on his timely recovery. Next, the duo discuss the Arizona Cardinals releasing star WR DeAndre Hopkins. It's clear now that Arizona does not want to win this season, while Hopkins will likely want to play for a contender.Next, Jori and Charles give their takeaways from Jets and Giants OTAs. Charles was most impressed with EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux and TE Darren Waller, while Jori thought it was interesting how well QB Aaron Rodgers appears to be fitting in early on in New York.Later, the hosts go one-by-one through Charles' list of the top five free agents who are still available, including RB Ezekiel Elliott, WR Kenny Golladay, EDGE Leonard Floyd, DL Matt Ioannidis and TE Mercedes Lewis.3:25 - Jimmy G undergoes foot surgery: should Raiders fans be concerned?14:50 - Cardinals release WR DeAndre Hopkins24:40 - Takeaways from Giants and Jets OTAs33:55 - Top five available free agentsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab recap the biggest news to come out of the owner's meetings and the start of offseason programs around the league. First up is the news that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is receiving a three-year contract extension, but Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay hinted it could be Goodell's last three years in the role. This news surprised Frank and Jori, as Roger has, for the most part, done a fantastic job of protecting the owners and their interests during his tenure (contrary to his reputation with the fans). Next, the duo discuss the new special teams rule on kickoffs, which is meant to reduce concussions, and Thursday Night Football flexing. The reaction to both of these developments has been overblown, as the impact on the game will not be as high as most assume.In other news, Green Bay will host the NFL Draft in 2025. Jori and Frank wonder how the small town will manage to fit so many people, given visiting NFL teams already have to stay in a hotel 40 minutes from the stadium. Frank and Jori also discuss the latest news on the Commanders sale, where one source told Jori they think the NFL is bending over backward to try to get the sale done.Later, the duo move on to the latest news around OTAs, including the Jacksonville Jaguars signing Denver Broncos longtime kicker Brandon McManus, and the New York Jets working out punter Matt Araiza. The New York Jets are on a roller coaster of emotions with Aaron Rodgers as the Jets try to get a 39-year old quarterback through the offseason program totally healthy.1:45 - Roger Goodell's contract extended. Could this be his last three years as commissioner?9:25 - New change to the kickoff rule: the NFL had to do something about concussions, but is this really going to solve any problems?14:55 - Thursday Night Football can now be flexed. The change is inconvenient for fans and players, and it's clear the NFL was trying to do something to appease Amazon after a lackluster slate in 2022.20:35 - Green Bay will host the 2025 NFL Draft27:30 - Commanders sale update32:45 - Special teams news! K Brandon McManus and P Matt Araiza40:00 - Aaron Rodgers injury concerns are popping up already.

Second-year breakout candidates, Joe Burrow's looming contract extension
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick things off by analyzing the latest reporting around the looming contract extension for Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who has indicated he may be willing to take a more team-friendly deal like Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady. Burrow's comments are yet another sign that Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract was a complete outlier. They move on to discussing the new wave of investigations by the NFL into gambling policy violations. What needs to change about the current set of rules to ensure these violations don't continue? Next, the duo talk about the report that San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance has improved his throwing motion this offseason. Robinson points out that once these type of reports start coming out, it's usually a bad sign for the state of the quarterback's career.Later, Robinson and McDonald dive into second-year players who are primed for a breakout season, including Atlanta Falcons QB Desmond Ridder, Baltimore Ravens SAF Kyle Hamilton, Philadelphia Eagles DT Jordan Davis, New Orleans Saints CB Alontae Taylor and Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White.1:40 - Joe Burrow has indicated he'd be open to taking less money to ensure his teammates like WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins can stay in Cincinnati. Is it smart for quarterbacks to take less money than the market allows?17:10 - The NFL has reportedly launched a new round of investigations into violations of the gambling policy. Why is the NFL taking this so seriously? The duo discuss what the future of the NFL and gambling could look like.31:50 - Trey Lance has improved his throwing motion. A report like this coming out could actually be more of a negative sign than a positive one.38:15 - Second-year breakout candidates: can Desmond Ridder bring the most out of a Falcons offense that's loaded with young talent?45:00 - Kyle Hamilton is primed to continue his momentum from late last season and become a superstar safety in 2023.48:40 - Jordan Davis will play a key role in the Eagles defense this season alongside Jalen Carter and Fletcher Cox.51:10 - 2022 second-round pick Alontae Taylor flew under the radar last season but will look to improve on a fantastic rookie campaign across from Marshon Lattimore in New Orleans.54:05 - Rachaad White is the favorite to take over the bellcow role in Tampa Bay this season after a solid rookie year.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Declined fifth-year option bounce-back candidates & Nick Bosa interview
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein kick things off by reacting to the news that New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence has reached an agreement on a contract extension. The Giants are building through the trenches, and Lawrence looks to be a big part of the future in New York. In other news, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was upset to hear that the Washington Commanders had reached out to former Colts QB Andrew Luck last season. Jori thinks Irsay's reaction was a little overblown given the Commanders never appeared to seriously pursue Luck.Next, the duo take a look at the record number of fifth-year options declined from the 2020 draft class, as they attempt to find which players from that group could still bounce back and land a big payday next season. Jori likes Commanders EDGE Chase Young, while Charles likes Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Patrick Queen and New York Jets OT Mekhi Becton.Jori finishes the show by sitting down with San Francisco 49ers EDGE Nick Bosa, who discusses the 49ers defense under new DC Steve Wilks and his preparations for a run at another Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.00:00 - Intro1:30 - Dexter Lawrence agrees to a four-year extension with the New York Giants7:20 - Colts owner Jim Irsay threatens Commanders after they reached out to Andrew Luck.

Eight biggest storylines to watch this NFL offseason
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein rank their top eight NFL storylines to watch as we head into the offseason. The duo kick things off by looking at the Green Bay Packers and if QB Jordan Love can show he has what it takes to be the new franchise QB in 2023. Next, they evaluate the quarterback situation with the Tennessee Titans, who now have a QB competition in Ryan Tannehill, Malik Willis and 2023 second-round pick Will Levis. At the sixth spot is Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns. Can Watson significantly step up his play from last season to earn his fully guaranteed contract? At number five are the incoming mega-contracts for the Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert and the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow. Both will look to be the highest-paid player in NFL history, but it's a stalemate as to who will be paid first, especially given the history with the two teams and their ownership. In the fourth spot, Charles and Jori discuss the precarious quarterback situation with the San Francisco 49ers. Brock Purdy is just starting to return from a serious elbow injury, Trey Lance has reportedly lost favor with the organization and Sam Darnold is looking to come in and revitalize his career. The 49ers have a roster ready to contend for another Super Bowl if they can work it out at QB. The number three storyline is whether or not Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy after suffering multiple concussions in his young career. At number two, New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is already reportedly skipping some of the Jets offseason programs. Is it a concern that Rodgers doesn't seem to be 100% bought in on reshaping a losing culture in New York? The top spot goes to the new rookie QBs, as it'll be fascinating to watch which young QBs (Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis and Stetson Bennett) will start week one.00:00 - Intro1:10 - #8. Can Packers' Jordan Love prove he's the next great quarterback in Green Bay?12:25 - #7. Who will be the starting QB for the Titans in 2023?18:35 - #6. Can Deshaun Watson become the player Cleveland expected when they traded for him?26:05 - #5. Who will be paid first: Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow?34:10 - #4. Can the 49ers find stability at the quarterback position with Sam Darnold, Trey Lance and Brock Purdy?41:50 - #3. Can Tua Tagovailoa stay healthy and help the Dolphins realize their full potential?47:25 - #2. Is Aaron Rodgers 100% bought-in in New York on building a winning culture with the limited window they have?53:55 - #1.

2023 NFL Draft takeaways, Lamar Jackson signs historic contract extension
Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein kick off the show by discussing Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson signing a record-breaking 5 year, $260M contract. Although the process was long and contentious, the Ravens and Jackson finally come to an agreement they can both be happy about. The group attempt to set expectations for the Ravens heading into 2023, as they must now attempt to build a better offense around their franchise quarterback.Next, the trio react to and give their key takeaways from the 2023 NFL Draft. Each host gives their favorite and least favorite draft classes and Charles Robinson discusses why Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman has received so much praise over the course of the draft. The group also discuss how the members of the All-Juice Team fared on draft day and which quarterback-team fits they like best.1:50 - Lamar Jackson signs a record-breaking contract with the Ravens. This deal was able to come together after the Jalen Hurts contract gave both parties a realistic reference point. Expectations should be set high for the Ravens this season as they surround Jackson with the most offensive talent he's ever had.20:05 - Least favorite draft classes: Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons. Both teams reached for non-premium positions while failing to address the larger problems affecting the roster.28:00 - Charles Robinson loved the Eagles draft and gives GM Howie Roseman his due credit for always staying one step ahead when building his roster.40:10 - Favorite draft classes: Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets. All three teams looked like they had a plan going in and executed it perfectly.49:50 - How did the All-Juice Team fare in the draft? WR Zay Flowers, OL O'Cyrus Torrance and DL Mazi Smith were among the favorite player-team fits.55:50 - Favorite quarterback-team fits: Jori is most excited about Bryce Young to the Carolina Panthers, while Charles McDonald can't wait to see CJ Stroud as a Houston Texan. Charles Robinson is concerned about Will Levis' fit with the Tennessee Titans. Either way, the AFC South just got interesting.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez. All profits directly fund the Terez A.

2023 NFL Draft first round recap & instant analysis
Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab kick off their instant reaction to round one of the 2023 NFL Draft by discussing the Houston Texans' massive trade-up from 12th overall to third overall to select EDGE Will Anderson Jr. Charles gives the inside story behind how the trade went down, while Frank hates the trade and thinks they drastically overpaid.Next, the trio discuss the Indianapolis Colts selecting Florida QB Anthony Richardson fourth overall. Is Indy really the best place for Richardson given he will likely need time to develop? The group round out the draft by giving some of the most surprising picks of the night (looking at you, Detroit Lions) and some of the biggest winners before taking a look ahead at day two and some of the best prospects still left on the board.00:25 - The Texans traded up with the Arizona Cardinals to select Will Anderson Jr. third overall. C Rob and Jori like the trade for the Texans, but Frank thinks the cost was just too high. Either way, GM Nick Caserio likely saved his job.22:35 - Indianapolis Colts select Anthony Richardson. You never know what the Colts are going to do, and there are concerns about whether they will force Richardson into action too early, but his potential is sky high.29:00 - How did QB Will Levis fall out of the first round? Nobody saw this coming, and no one is sure where his slide will end. There's clearly something about Levis' evaluation that scouts didn't like.36:20 - Favorite/most surprising picks of the night: Everyone was shocked and fairly disappointed by both of the Detroit Lions' picks. The Cardinals made a great pick at #6 with Paris Jonson Jr, and the Eagles got away with two Georgia steals in Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith.47:00 - Looking ahead to day two: there are still multiple players who many NFL teams had first round grades on who are available, including CB Joey Porter Jr. and TE Michael Mayer.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, fixing every AFC team
Charles McDonald, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab give their instant reactions to news that the Green Bay Packers have traded four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. Everyone likes the trade a lot for the Packers, and hopes Rodgers can take advantage of a loaded Jets roster to perform in year one. The trio also give their thoughts on the recent gambling suspensions given out to five players, including Detroit Lions first-round pick WR Jameson Williams. While the NFL's punishment for players gambling has seemed harsh, it's clear they're making sure they nip it in the bud as sports gambling becomes more popular. Later in the show, the group dive into fixing every AFC team one at a time. The hosts take turns giving one major move each team could make that would improve their odds at contending for a Super Bowl.3:00 - Aaron Rodgers has finally been traded to the Jets. Everyone is excited about the return for the Packers, as they are very likely to get a first-round pick in next year's draft. This is a big risk for the Jets; hopefully it pays off.11:35 - Five players were suspended for gambling, including former Lions first-round pick Jameson Williams, who was supposed to be a big part of Detroit's offense. The pressure is now on for the division favorite Lions to perform without a key part of their offense for the first six games of the season.22:40 - Fixing the AFC West: Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs and Raiders29:45 - Fixing the AFC East: Jets, Patriots, Dolphins and Bills42:25 - Fixing the AFC North: Steelers, Bengals, Ravens and Browns54:25 - Fixing the AFC South: Texans, Jaguars, Titans and ColtsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Making one big move to fix every NFC team
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein kick things off by diving further into Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' new massive extension and what that means for the Baltimore Ravens and QB Lamar Jackson. Next, they discuss the San Francisco 49ers and their QB Brock Purdy's latest comments when he spoke with Jori last week regarding his elbow surgery. They also address the rumors that the 49ers are looking to trade QB Trey Lance, and discuss what compensation it would take for other teams to acquire the young player. Later, Charles and Jori make one move (either through the draft, free agency or a trade) that would drastically improve each NFC team heading into the 2023 season.1:45 - The Eagles made an aggressive play by signing QB Jalen Hurts to a massive extension. Charles and Jori discuss how this contract affects Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who is rumored to want a fully guaranteed deal.12:55 - Jori interviewed 49ers QB Brock Purdy last week, and the young quarterback said he wasn't sure when he would be able to play next season. Overall, Jori believes this quote wasn't as bad as people thought, as it's still far too early in Purdy's recovery from elbow surgery to know when he'll be able to play.19:15 - Rumors have been circulating about 49ers QB Trey Lance potentially being traded. Charles believes this is very likely, and doesn't think the compensation would have to be very high for. teams to acquire him. Charles likes the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans as potential landing spots.29:30 - Fixing every NFC East team: Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders and New York Giants.38:35 - Fixing every NFC South team: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints.44:30 - Fixing every NFC North team: Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.53:30 - Fixing every NFC West team: Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Jalen Hurts signs mega-deal & 2023 All-Juice Team in honor of Terez Paylor
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the show by giving their immediate takeaways on Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' massive contract extension before going position-by-position as they reveal and explain the process behind their 2023 All-Juice Team. 1:35 - Eagles make QB Jalen Hurts the highest-paid player in NFL history with a five-year, $255M contract extension. This deal caps off a fantastic three-year career arc for Hurts, who was originally drafted to be a backup, but it also resets the QB market going forward.10:15 - Robinson introduces the All-Juice Team and explains how each pick was made through a tier system.17:20 - Quarterback: Bryce Young. There was some debate between Young and Florida's Anthony Richardson, but Young won out due to his production at Alabama.22:15 - Running Back: Tulane's Tyjae Spears. McDonald sees Spears as a home run threat who plays bigger than his size.24:05 - Wide Receivers: A.T. Perry, Zay Flowers and Tank Dell. Dell is undersized but dominated at the Senior Bowl.28:15 - Tight End: Darnell Washington gets the spot for his elite athleticism and blocking ability.31:35 - Offensive Line: Peter Skoronski and Darnell Wright at tackle, and O'Cyrus Torrance, Chandler Zavala and Olusegun Oluwatimi on the inside. The duo prioritized offensive line to protect Bryce Young.38:20 - Defensive Line: Mazi Smith, Gervon Dexter, Calijah Kancey and Will McDonald. This group has an enormous ceiling with a lot of raw talent.48:10 - Linebackers: Dee Winters, Isaiah Land and Aubrey Miller. This LB class is fairly weak, especially getting into the later rounds.51:55 - Cornerbacks/Safeties: Christian Gonzalez, Julius Brents, Starling Thomas, Chris Smith and Kaevon Merritweather. McDonald loves Smith's reliability coming from Georgia.56:25 - Favorite late-round pick from the All-Juice Team: McDonald picks OL Chandler Zavala, while Robinson goes with Houston WR Tank Dell.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Biggest risers & fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft
Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald recap the latest news from around the NFL, including the Jeff Okudah trade and concerning news around Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. Later, the duo dive into their biggest risers and fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:35 - Detroit Lions trade CB Jeff Okudah to the Atlanta Falcons for a fifth-round pick. It's a fresh start for Okudah, but the compensation seems low for Lions. This is a big miss for Detroit, but the Falcons may have gained a starting cornerback for cheap.11:50 - Arbitration has been filed against Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. The allegations are very concerning, and Bidwell's reputation as an owner could be a big reason why the Cardinals organization continues to struggle year after year.24:15 - New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley has refused to sign the franchise tag so far as he pursues a long-term deal. Charles Robinson thinks this situation represents how the entire NFL now views running backs. Even elite RBs like Barkley will have a very hard time getting paid going forward.35:30 - Florida QB Anthony Richardson has been one of the biggest risers of the 2023 NFL Draft, as his athletic testing blew teams out of the water. Charles McDonald wonders if QBs could go in each of the first four picks this year.40:40 - Is Georgia QB Stetson Bennett a riser in this draft? Neither host loves Bennett as a prospect, but the QB had a lot of buzz after a positive performance at the combine.48:10 - Georgia DL Jalen Carter fell throughout the draft process, but how far? Both hosts agree that at the end of the day, Carter will likely end up being picked close to where he was originally projected. Carter is too good of a prospect to pass on.57:25 - Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer may be a faller in this draft not through fault of his own, but because the tight end class around him has impressed throughout the athletic testing process.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Favorite player-team fits in the 2023 NFL Draft & OBJ to the Ravens
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the show by giving their reactions to WR Odell Beckham Jr. signing a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Next, the duo attempt to break down which six teams have reportedly inquired about trading up to the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Later, Robinson and McDonald go through C Mac's top-five favorite player-team fits in the draft and how likely each fit is to become reality.00:25 - Free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. It's clear that the Ravens made this move to sway QB Lamar Jackson, and it appears to have worked. Jackson seems pleased with the addition, and if OBJ can stay on the field, he could be a big upgrade to a Baltimore offense that lacks playmakers outside of the quarterback position.16:25 - A report surfaced that six NFL teams have inquired about trading up to the third overall pick. The duo attempt to determine which six teams they were and put forth some potential trade scenarios that would get the deal done. Could a team further back in the draft like the Minnesota Vikings or Tennessee Titans make a huge move to get their new QB? What would make it worth it for the Arizona Cardinals?32:15 - Ad Break32:20 - Charles McDonald's favorite fit for QB C.J. Stroud is the Carolina Panthers. How likely is it that Stroud goes first overall?37:25 - Tyree Wilson to the Atlanta Falcons? They need help along the defensive line, but Robinson isn't sure that drafting Wilson in the top ten is good value.41:20 - Peter Skoronski to the Chicago Bears? This pick makes all too much sense given Skoronski's Chicago connection and his ability to play anywhere along the offensive line.46:15 - Will Anderson to the Cardinals? New head coach Jonathan Gannon needs weapons on defense, and Anderson is the obvious fit if Arizona doesn't trade back.50:15 - Zay Flowers to the Los Angeles Chargers? The Chargers need more speed on offense, and Flowers would round out a very solid group of weapons for QB Justin Herbert.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Mock Draft! Reviewing Charles McDonald's latest mock draft
Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald go pick by pick through Charles McDonald's latest 2023 NFL mock draft as they discuss the top prospects and their ideal landing spots.00:30 - The duo discuss a few of the veteran quarterbacks that remain available and how they could shape the draft if teams miss out on their guy. Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Matthew Stafford and maybe even Aaron Rodgers remain available for the right price.8:15 - Carolina Panthers select QB C.J. Stroud first overall. Although this has been reported as a lock, Charles Robinson thinks the Panthers are not quite decided yet.13:50 - Houston Texans select QB Bryce Young second overall. Houston is in love with two quarterbacks in this draft, and Young is likely their top choice.18:40 - Arizona Cardinals select EDGE Will Anderson third overall. Although Arizona would likely want to trade back, Anderson would be a huge lift to their weak defensive line.22:50 - Indianapolis Colts select QB Will Levis fourth overall. Levis going before Anthony Richardson would be a surprise, but McDonald suspects Levis fits the Colts' ideal QB better.28:20 - Seattle Seahawks select DL Jalen Carter fifth overall. Head Coach Pete Carroll has never shied away from taking on risky prospects, and Carter could be an enormous boost to a struggling defensive line.35:10 - Picks 6-10: Anthony Richardson to the Detroit Lions, Christian Gonzalez to the Las Vegas Raiders and more.50:15 - Picks 11-31: The duo speed through the second half of the first round and highlight a few of the most interesting picks, including WR Jaxon-Smith Njigba to the Green Bay Packers and RB Bijan Robinson to the Philadelphia Eagles.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Top takeaways from the 2023 NFL owner's meetings
Charles Robinson is joined by Jori Epstein to recap the biggest takeaways coming out of the 2023 NFL owner's meetings, including the potential sale of the Washington Commanders, new changes to the 2023 NFL rule book and the latest on Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Later, the duo discuss two teams who are heading into pivotal seasons in 2023: the Cleveland Browns and the New England Patriots.00:25 - Kansas City Chiefs superfan "Chiefsaholic" arrested for an alleged bank robbery. Charles and Jori joke about how this all went down and dive into one of the more interesting stories out of the offseason.6:50 - A group has come forward with a fully financed bid to purchase the Washington Commanders. Charles believes it's only a matter of time before the deal goes through and Dan Snyder is no longer the owner.20:10 - New rule changes: Charles and Jori give their analysis on the three biggest changes to the NFL rule book this season – players wearing the number zero, teams potentially playing two Thursday night games and only one roster cut down date at the end of the preseason.35:35 - Lamar Jackson returns to Twitter, but this time the duo agree that he might be doing more harm to his contract negotiations than good. Jackson elaborated on the severity of his injuries last season, which could make it even less likely he gets the fully guaranteed contract offer he's reportedly looking for.43:55 - This is a pivotal season for the Cleveland Browns and QB Deshaun Watson. Watson received a historically massive guaranteed contract last season, and so far it's looking like a mistake.52:50 - Is there a rift growing between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft? Comments from Kraft at the owner's meeting seem to indicate so. If Belichick's roster doesn't begin showing improvement this season, could we see the legendary coach on the hot seat in 2024?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Favorite NFL draft prospects, Lamar Jackson requests a trade
Charles Robinson joins us from the owner's meetings in Phoenix, Arizona accompanied by Charles McDonald to discuss the biggest news around the meetings, including Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson announcing he requested a trade. Later on, Charles McDonald gives his five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:30 - Lamar Jackson announced he officially has requested a trade. Both hosts agree this doesn't change the dynamic of the current situation much, but it does make it less likely Jackson returns to Baltimore in 2023 unless the Ravens offer the contract he is looking for.16:15 - Charles Robinson gives an update on the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets working out a deal to send Aaron Rodgers to New York. Charles says the two sides aren't far apart, but there are some key disagreements that still need to be worked out before Rodgers becomes a Jet. The Packers are likely looking to get a first-round pick and more out of the deal.26:00 - Charles McDonald goes through the list of his top-five favorite prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft: QB Bryce Young, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, EDGE Tyree Wilson, CB Christian Gonzalez and OL Peter Skoronski.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL free agency winners and losers: Lamar Jackson, 49ers, Panthers and more
Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to recap the latest news around NFL free agency, including OT Laremy Tunsil signing a historical extension with the Houston Texans, the Carolina Panthers building around a rookie, Cincinnati Bengals signing OT Orlando Brown Jr, the latest with Lamar Jackson and more before diving into some biggest winners and losers of 2023 NFL free agency.00:25 - Houston Texans make OT Laremy Tunsil the highest-paid OL in NFL history. All agree this is a great signing for Houston, who are likely planning on bringing in a young quarterback in the draft.6:45 - Lamar Jackson is a clear loser of free agency so far. There are no signs that he and the Baltimore Ravens are any closer to reaching a deal. Charles McDonald wonders if the Ravens need to start thinking about life after Lamar if they can't get a deal done by the draft.17:30 - Carolina Panthers are taking care of business and building around the rookie quarterback they're going to draft in April. The group likes their veteran signings, including QB Andy Dalton, RB Miles Sanders, Wr Adam Thielen and TE Hayden Hurst.26:30 - WR Brandin Cooks traded once again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys. Jori thinks he slides in as WR2 from day one.34:25 - Bengals QB Joe Burrow is a winner of free agency as Cincinnati signs OT Orlando Brown Jr. It's a great move for the Bengals, but Brown missed out on a lot more money if he would've signed last year.41:40 - WR Odell Beckham Jr. is a loser of free agency. His market just hasn't materialized the way he'd hoped, and Charles Robinson wonders if OBJ will ever return to the level of play many expect from him.55:35 - Lightning round winners: San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta FalconsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Jori gives her analysis on why Jerry Jones chose to make this move, what it means for Dallas and their new RB1 Tony Pollard and the best landing spots for Zeke.36:00 - Charles Robinson expresses concern about the number of starters the Philadelphia Eagles have lost so far. It will be interesting to see if the younger players on the roster can step up.39:45 - Las Vegas Raiders trade TE Darren Waller to the New York Giants. This move doesn't make much sense for the Raiders, who seem to be blowing it all up for next season, but it is a very high upside move for New York.46:45 - Charles McDonald wonders what the offseason plan is for the Arizona Cardinals, who have been extremely quiet so far this offseason.53:00 - More free agent signings: Baker Mayfield to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and analysis on why the Denver Broncos have been such big spenders early in free agency.1:03:35 - What should we make of top NFL Draft prospect DL Jalen Carter's disastrous pro day?

Charles McDonald gives his take on how far Carter could fall on night one of the 2023 NFL Draft.Join Yahoo Sports' free tourney pick 'em for a shot at $25K: Mens & Women's Printable BracketsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

NFL free agency day one takeaways, Panthers trade up and Jalen Ramsey traded

The New York Jets are still awaiting his decision and are putting themselves in a bind with not much of a backup plan if it falls through.10:30 - San Francisco 49ers get aggressive and sign DT Javon Hargrave and QB Sam Darnold. Their defense is looking completely dominant for next season.18:15 - Las Vegas Raiders sign Jimmy Garoppolo. Is this an upgrade? Charles Robinson thinks Jimmy is a much better fit for head coach Josh McDaniels, but Frank and Charles McDonald can't see how this moves the needle for Vegas, especially given the other teams in their division.25:45 - Kansas City Chiefs sign OT Jawaan Taylor and likely plan to move him to left tackle for the 2023 season.31:25 - Atlanta Falcons get aggressive, make OL Chris Lindstrom the highest-paid guard in NFL history and sign SAF Jessie Bates. Frank thinks the moves don't amount to much unless they pursue QB Lamar Jackson.42:00 - Carolina Panthers acquire the first overall pick from the Chicago Bears. All agree that this is a rare win-win trade. Charles Robinson thinks the Panthers don't know yet which quarterback they're planning to take.48:40 - Los Angeles Rams trade CB Jalen Ramsey to the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey still has a few good years left at cornerback and will now be playing with a chip on his shoulder.Join Yahoo Sports' free tourney pick 'em for a shot at $25K: Mens & Women's Printable BracketsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Lamar Jackson's market is hotter than you think & 2023 free agency preview
Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein give their insider analysis on the unique situation with Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and why the initial interest isn't as high as we thought it would be. They also address the New York Giants signing QB Daniel Jones to a huge new contract and give a quick preview of an intriguing 2023 NFL free agent class.00:25 - New York Giants sign QB Daniel Jones to a 4-year, $160M contract and place the franchise tag on RB Saquon Barkley. Was this the right move? How should Giants fans feel about the future?12:00 - Jacksonville Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley wrote a heartfelt "Letter to the Game" where he gave context to the gambling scandal that led to his suspension for the entire 2022 season. Charles and Jori both think the letter is exactly what the doctor ordered and that Ridley could be on his way to a huge comeback in Jacksonville next season.20:50 - The Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on QB Lamar Jackson, meaning other teams have the opportunity to acquire him if they can agree to a contract. The market has seemed a lot cooler than most would've thought, but Charles is adamant that this is how these things go and Lamar could still very well be on the move. The fact that Lamar represents himself also seems to be hurting him in this situation.48:00 - 2023 free agency preview: Charles and Jori take a thousand-foot view of the upcoming free agent class by discussing the top players available, the best position groups (offensive and defensive line) and which teams are poised to make a splash once the legal tampering period opens.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Super Bowl preview: Chiefs vs. Eagles potential X-factors + Derek Carr's best landing spot
Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab gather at the site of the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona to discuss NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's latest comments on officiating, whether or not Derek Carr is a fit for the New Orleans Saints, the Dallas Cowboys' new offensive coordinator and to preview the biggest x-factors for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.The trio start off the show by recapping the biggest storylines to come out of Roger Goodell's State of the League presser, including Charles' question on how Roger feels about the state of officiating in the NFL.Next, the group reacts to the news that Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr visited the Saints facility earlier this week. Everyone agrees the Saints offense could be a cushy landing spot for Carr, but question whether the Saints should be going after veteran quarterbacks or if it's time to rebuild and start with a young draft pick.The Cowboys have their new offensive coordinator in former Cowboys consultant and journeyman OC Brian Schottenheimer. Jori points out that this move reinforces head coach Mike McCarthy's desire to have full control over his offense going into 2023 after mutually parting ways with Kellen Moore, but the hope is that Schottenheimer can be a "new voice" who can help take QB Dak Prescott's game to another level.Finally the group move on to discuss the Super Bowl. Each host gives their pick for a potential game-changing x-factor to keep your eye on before diving into the fascinating stories behind the two quarterbacks in this game: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. They discuss each player's respective injuries they'll be battling through, how the Eagles created such a strong roster around Jalen Hurts and how this game could affect Hurts' contract talks moving forward.

Super Bowl News Roundup: 2023 NFL Draft buzz, Sean Payton, Cardinals & Colts head coach searches
Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald and Dan Wetzel are in Phoenix, Arizona for Super Bowl week as they give the inside scoop on all the latest buzz around the NFL, including new coaching hires, Sean Payton's latest comments and the top 2023 NFL Draft prospects.The last two teams without a head coach, the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts, are steadily narrowing down their options. Charles Robinson thinks Arizona needs to go after an offensive guy to get Kyler Murray's career back on track, and wonders if Murray needs to have a good season in 2023 to still be considered a franchise quarterback. The Colts head coach situation is murkier, as it's unclear if they plan to bring back interim head coach and former Colts center Jeff Saturday.There were a few other coaching hires to discuss, including Steve Wilks becoming San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, a job that has led to two consecutive head coaching hires in Robert Saleh and Demeco Ryans. Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores heads to Minnesota to become the Vikings defensive coordinator. Former Denver Broncos DC Ejiro Evero heads to Carolina to coordinate Frank Reich's defense in 2023.New Broncos head coach Sean Payton didn't mince words in comments to the press earlier this week as he made it clear QB Russell Wilson's personal staff would no longer be allowed in the facility. Everyone is feeling optimistic about the Broncos, and Charles McDonald thinks Payton's no-nonsense coaching style might be just the thing Wilson needs to get back on track. Under the right leadership, Wilson may still have gas left in the tank.The episode ends with an update on the 2023 NFL Draft as the Senior Bowl just wrapped up last week. Although this class looks a little weak compared to some previous years, there are a few prospects that it's hard not to get excited about. Everyone is excited about Florida QB Anthony Richardson, who has all the tools necessary to be an elite NFL QB but will need time to sit and learn in a patient organization. Other players like Texas RB Bijan Robinson and Alabama QB Bryce Young present intriguing options in the first round.5:15 - Cardinals head coach update & Kyler Murray's future12:00 - Colts head coach update: Is Jeff Saturday returning in 2023?17:45 - New DC hires: Steve Wilks, Brian Flores, Ejiro Evero27:40 - Super Bowl preview: what we heard at opening night in Phoenix37:00 - Broncos HC Sean Payton's comments towards Russell Wilson45:50 - 2023 NFL Draft preview: Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young, Bijan RobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

News Roundup: Sean Payton to the Broncos, Demeco Ryans to the Texans, Tom Brady Retires
Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab recap all of the latest news from around the NFL, including the Denver Broncos trading to acquire head coach Sean Payton, the Houston Texans hiring head coach Demeco Ryans and Tom Brady retiring (again).Tom Brady announced via social media that he is retiring from football at age 45, exactly one year after his first retirement. Is Brady gone for good this time? Charles and Frank agree that Brady is likely done, but if there's one scenario that could tempt Brady back to the NFL for one more season, it'll likely be the San Francisco 49ers. If the injury to Brock Purdy ends up being serious, it could lead to the 49ers giving Tom a call. As for the future of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both agree that it would make sense for them to pursue former Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr. The Buccaneers also hold the 19th overall pick if they decide to target a quarterback in the draft.The Broncos gave up a first-round pick and more to acquire decorated veteran head coach Sean Payton from the New Orleans Saints. After taking a year off, Payton will take on an underperforming roster and attempt to resurrect Russell Wilson's career. Frank thinks Broncos fans should be very excited about the move, but Charles points out that Payton will likely make large changes to the makeup of the roster, and some of those changes may take time to yield results. He encourages fans to stay patient.The Texans got their first choice to take over as head coach in former 49ers defensive coordinator and Texans LB Demeco Ryans, who will look to lead the Texans organization out from rock bottom. Both Charles and Frank absolutely love the hire for Houston and think endorsements from Houston icons like JJ Watt go a long way. Ryans' first priority will be addressing the quarterback situation, and Charles and Frank both think the second overall pick in the draft is a prime spot to do so.The Dallas Cowboys fired offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who heads west to take charge of a highly potent Los Angeles Chargers offense captained by Justin Herbert. Frank thinks this is a slam dunk hire for LA, who desperately needed to bring in a coordinator who could help Herbert reach his full potential. Mike McCarthy will take over play-calling duties in Dallas, a sign that he is looking to put his future in his own hands as he enters year four with the Cowboys. This will be a make-or-break year for McCarthy, and it's looking like he will be making some big changes in 2023.1:00 - Tom Brady retires (for real this time?)19:25 - Broncos acquire head coach Sean Payton32:40 - Texans hire head coach Demeco Ryans41:30 - Cowboys fire OC Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy takes over offensive play-callingPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Conference Championship Sunday Night Freestyle: Chiefs and Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII
Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab join forces to recap Sunday's conference championship action as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII and the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers fall just short. Charles and Frank unpack the events of both games and start to look ahead towards what should be a clash of titans in the Super Bowl.Patrick Mahomes' ankle held it together just enough for him to throw for 326 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Chiefs narrowly defeated Joe Burrow and the Bengals with a game-winning field goal coming off a disastrous roughing the passer penalty from defensive end Joseph Ossai. Charles and Frank discuss how impressive this game was for Mahomes, the controversy over the officiating and how tonight may have ignited the NFL's next classic playoff rivalry akin to Manning vs. Brady.Earlier Sunday, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles steamrolled the 49ers and their rotating cast of pass-throwers following an early injury to quarterback Brock Purdy. The duo analyze what the loss means for the 49ers, what we learned about Jalen Hurts and the Eagles and how the injury to Brock Purdy could entirely shift the 49ers' offseason plans.00:30 - Bengals @ Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes defeats Joe Burrow and the Bengals and a new rivalry is born19:00 - 49ers' future: How Brock Purdy's injury could affect San Francisco's offseason29:00 - Jalen Hurts and the Eagles cruise to an easy victory: but what did we learn about them that we can take into the Super Bowl?38:00 - Early Super Bowl Preview: How do the well-balanced Eagles match up against the top-heavy Chiefs?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

AFC & NFC Championship preview + Panthers hire Frank Reich & Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett
Charles Robinson, Frank Schwab and Charles McDonald react to the Carolina Panthers hiring Frank Reich and the New York Jets Jets hiring Nathaniel Hackett as OC before previewing the AFC & NFC Championship games coming Sunday.The Panthers announced the hiring of former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich. It'll be interesting to see how he decides to handle the quarterback situation. Frank Schwab wishes the Panthers had just kept interim head coach and former defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, but everyone is convinced he will get another chance soon enough.The Jets hired former Denver Broncos head coach and Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new OC. Is this a sign that the Jets could be looking to acquire Aaron Rodgers? Charles McDonald thinks the Jets might actually have a better offensive foundation in place than the Packers. Even if they don't end up acquiring the veteran Rodgers, Hackett should be able to contribute early to a team that, according to Charles Robinson, believes they are not far off from contending.While taping the podcast, the news dropped that Dallas Cowboys DC Dan Quinn will be staying in his role for another year. This is huge news for the Cowboys, who manage to hang onto Quinn through yet another head coach hiring cycle. It's concerning news for teams like the Broncos who have yet to hire their next coach, as the premiere options are starting to dwindle.Next the trio move on to the NFC championship game, where Brock Purdy will look to evade the nasty Philadelphia Eagles pass rush, and Jalen Hurts will attempt to crack a tough San Francisco 49ers defense. Charles McDonald believes Hurts may be able to throw it deep against San Francisco – the cornerbacks may be their one weakness.The AFC championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs hinges on the health of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and whether or not he can overcome the ankle injury that affected his play last week. Mahomes was, shockingly, a full participant in practice on Wednesday and was seen jogging on the field. Regardless of Mahomes' status, Robinson believes the key to stopping the Chiefs will be slowing down tight end Travis Kelce, who is Mahomes' safety valve and tends to dominate in playoff games. Charles McDonald picks the Bengals; he thinks their streak of three straight victories against Kansas City will continue for at least one more game.00:25 - The Panthers hire Frank Reich to be their next head coach13:55 - The Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett to be their next offensive coordinator. Is Aaron Rodgers next?29:50 - Cowboys DC Dan Quinn announces he's staying in Dallas. What does this mean for teams without head coaches?37:15 - 49ers @ Eagles Preview: Which offense will crack first against elite defense? Purdy and the 49ers or Hurts and Eagles?50:00 - Bengals @ Chiefs Preview: Can the Bengals stop the Chiefs just short of the Super Bowl for the second straight year?

Championship Week News Roundup: Tom Brady's future, Daniel Jones' contract, Sean Payton update
Charles Robinson is joined by Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald to discuss the hottest storylines around the NFL heading into conference championship weekend, including rumors surrounding Tom Brady's future, how the New York Giants plan to handle Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley's contract negotiations and whether or not Sean Payton returns to the NFL as a head coach in 2023.Rumors are swirling around the league as Tom Brady erupted on his podcast when asked questions about his future, and was recently seen in Miami touring schools for his children. Will the 45-year old return to the NFL, possibly in a new uniform? Or will he hang up the cleats and begin his commentating career?New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick hired former Houston Texans head coach and longtime associate as offensive coordinator. What does this mean for Mac Jones and the struggling New England offense?Giants GM Joe Schoen seemed to indicate earlier this week that the Giants may favor Daniel Jones over star RB Saquon Barkley if a decision needed to be paid, but is that the right call? Charles Robinson reports that the Giants may need to give Jones $40M or more per year to retain him.We are in the midst of the head coach hiring cycle, but the news surrounding longtime New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton returning to the NFL has slowed over the last few days. The trio dive into what could be causing this, and whether or not Payton is even interested in any of the coaching jobs available. In other head coaching news, Indianapolis Colts head coach Jeff Saturday looks like he's trending towards keeping the job in 2023. Charles McDonald wonders if it's even possible that Saturday could take a significant year two leap.00:20 - Will Tom Brady return to Tampa Bay in 2023? Or will he return at all?14:10 - New England Patriots hire Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator20:35 - Giants contract updates: will they extend Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley or both?39:10 - Sean Payton may not return to the NFL in 202346:30 - Jeff Saturday is currently on track to continue as the Colts head coach in 2023Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Divisional Round Monday Morning Freestyle: Bengals and Eagles look dominant, Chiefs and 49ers survive and advance
Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab recap a weekend of NFL divisional round playoff games that saw the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles steamroll the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants on their way to championship weekend as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers earned hard-fought victories over the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys.2:09 - The 49ers rolled to yet another consecutive victory, this time over the Cowboys. QB Brock Purdy showed he's able to improvise, and this team, led by Coach of the Year candidate Kyle Shanahan, is beginning to look unstoppable. Things are more complicated for the Cowboys, however, who have to navigate a murky offseason and try to accumulate more talent around Dak Prescott, specifically at the wide receiver position.18:25 - The Bengals looked dominant in their victory over the one-time Super Bowl favorite Buffalo Bills. The snow seemed to only affect the Bills as the Bengals run game got going despite a banged up offensive line. The Bills look to make another run next year despite QB Josh Allen's cap hit nearly doubling.32:30 - QB Jalen Hurts looked entirely recovered from his shoulder injury as the Eagles defeated the Giants. The Giants should feel great about the season they had and their future going forward under Head Coach Brian Daboll. The Eagles look like they're just getting started, as they have now won 15 of their 16 games with Hurts at quarterback this season.41:44 - QB Patrick Mahomes looks to have suffered a high ankle sprain as Kansas City defeated Jacksonville. Early indications are that he could play this weekend, but he will almost certainly be less than 100%. Jacksonville should be proud of the season they've had under Head Coach Doug Pederson, and can look forward to welcoming star WR Calvin Ridley next year.55:15 - Charles and Frank give their initial thoughts on the upcoming conference championship games this weekend: 49ers @ Eagles and Bengals @ Chiefs.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to recap the latest news around the NFL as the head coach and GM hiring cycle kicks into full gear and to preview the 2023 divisional round of the NFL playoffs.The trio start off by diving into some of the latest news around the NFL. Los Angeles Chargers OC Joe Lombardi was fired, but this might be a good thing for QB Justin Herbert, as he can have a fresh start with a new offense without losing the stability that comes with head coach Brandon Staley returning for the 2023 season. Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson announced he's staying in Detroit for 2023, which is fantastic news for Lions fans. Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh has said he will not be returning to the NFL for the 2023 season, but his proven track record as an NFL head coach means fans and front offices alike will likely continue pursuing him in the coming years.The Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals have their new general managers, as former San Francisco 49ers Director of Player Personnel Ran Carthon heads to Nashville and former Tennessee Titans Director of Player Personnel Monti Ossenfort heads to Glendale. Charles Robinson has heard great things about Carthon's leadership ability, but he's concerned about the future of Kyler Murray and the Cardinals given the turmoil within the organization over the past year.Charles, Jori and Charles move on to discuss an intriguing slate of matchups in the divisional round this Saturday and Sunday, as the group believes the Jacksonville Jaguars may have a shot against Patrick Mahomes and the dominant Kansas City Chiefs if Trevor Lawrence is at the top of his game. The New York Giants could keep their matchup close against the top-seed Philadelphia Eagles, but the Eagles roster looks better at nearly every position. The group is excited for the Cincinnati Bengals to take on the Buffalo Bills, but it'll be important to watch the injury report for the Bengals, as their depleted offensive line could get overwhelmed without the help of OT Jonah Williams. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys look to keep rolling against the San Francisco 49ers. The key to this game will be whether or not QB Dak Prescott can keep his stellar play from last week rolling against possibly the best defense in the NFL.00:30 - Latest coaching news: Chargers OC Joe Lombardi fired, Tampa Bay Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich keeps his position for now and Lions OC Ben Johnson & Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh decide to remain in their positions for next season22:08 - New GMs! Former 49ers Director of Player Personnel Ran Carthon hired as Titans general manager and former Titans Director of Player Personnel Monti Ossenfort hired as Cardinals general manager36:14 - Divisional Round Preview37:43 - Jaguars at Chiefs: Does Trevor Lawrence and his offense have the firepower to keep up with Kansas City?42:53 - Giants at Eagles: Can Brian Daboll work his magic against a dominant Eagles roster?47:04 - Bengals at Bills: Can Joe Burrow overcome his offensive line injuries to outgun Josh Allen and the dangerous Bills offense?49:26 - Cowboys at 49ers: Can Dak Prescott carve up the best defense in the NFL?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Wild Card Preview: Tua & Lamar are out, Herbert & Lawrence could be next great QB rivalry, Vikings & Giants could be pure chaos
Super Wild Card Weekend is only two short days away. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald to preview the six matchups that kick off the 2022-2023 NFL playoffs.It's hard to talk about these games without talking about the two major QBs who will be absent this weekend: Baltimore's Lamar Jackson and Miami's Tua Tagovailoa. While Jackson's injury is murkier and leads to legitimate conversation about whether he is long for Baltimore after this season, Tagovailoa's injury calls into question whether or not he should retire and how the Dolphins franchise plans to protect his health in the years to come after suffering three concussions this year.Later in the show, the gang talks about whether the Seattle Seahawks have a chance to beat Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers, how Minnesota/New York could be the most chaotically fun matchup of the weekend and why Dallas Cowboys fans are so nervous for their Monday night matchup against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.0:25 Lamar Jackson's absence looms over Baltimore-Cincinnati matchup and the Ravens' offseason12:45 Miami has little hope against an emotionally resurgent Buffalo, but how will Dolphins protect Tua in the future?22:40 Brock Purdy's magical run might turn into a pumpkin, but probably not against Seattle28:45 Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert could be the NFL's next great young QB rivalry39:00 Giants-Vikings is the most unpredictable matchup of the weekend44:30 Why both coaching staffs should be afraid of losing in Cowboys-BuccaneersPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Black Monday roundup: What happens to Sean McVay, Mike McCarthy & how do Cardinals, Broncos, Panthers, Colts & Texans find next head coach?
Black Monday, the first day after the NFL regular season, is usually not a great experience for up to a quarter of the league's head coaches, as it's often not a surprise to see that amount get fired by their organizations in the hopes of starting fresh in a new year.2023's edition of Black Monday was a little different. Only the Arizona Cardinals made a big move in firing Kliff Kingsbury (as well as letting GM Steve Keim step away from the team). With known HC openings in Denver, Carolina, Houston & Indianapolis, Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to ponder what other teams could part from their head coach this offseason.They kick off the conversation discussing the Los Angeles Rams' Sean McVay, who reportedly is mulling stepping away from the team only one season removed from his Super Bowl win. Later, they discuss the sorts of candidates fans could expect in Arizona, Denver, Carolina, Indianapolis & Houston, before Jori speculates as to the chances that the Dallas Cowboys might move on from Mike McCarthy if the team loses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Monday night in Florida.0:30 Damar Hamlin released from University of Cincinnati Medical Center, transported back to Buffalo, NY4:00 Is Sean McVay on the precipice of leaving the Los Angeles Rams?19:35 Are the Arizona Cardinals a desirable head coaching location with Kyler Murray?24:20 Denver Broncos trying to make big splash with head coach hire, did Russell Wilson show enough in final weeks that he can be salvaged?29:00 Carolina Panthers likely to go all-in on a big offensive-minded HC for next hire36:10 It's anyone's best guess as to what owner Jim Irsay might do in hiring the Indianapolis Colts' next head coach44:45 Houston Texans may be the least desirable head coaching vacancy and for good reason52:55 Could the Dallas Cowboys part with Mike McCarthy if they lose Monday night in Tampa Bay?Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 17 Sunday Night Freestyle: Kenny Pickett keeps Steelers alive, Packers embarrass Vikings, Buccaneers clinch NFC South & Eagles fall fast
Rookie Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett led the comeback of the day, with just under two minutes to spare, down four against the rival Baltimore Ravens. Escaping a sack, he fluttered off to the left side of the pocket and fired a laser to running back Najee Harris in the front corner of the end zone to put the Steelers up 3 and keep their playoff hopes alive.Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab kick off their regular Sunday night podcast reacting to Pittsburgh's magnificent win and how Mike Tomlin turned around a disastrous season into a magical one. With one more win next week (and a little help), the Steelers could be playoff bound again and Tomlin's streak of winning seasons would remain unbroken.Charles & Frank follow up the Pittsburgh talk breaking down all of the games from Week 17's slate including Green Bay's smackdown of the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claiming a second straight NFC South title against the Carolina Panthers, the Philadelphia Eagles falling disastrously close to losing the 1-seed in the NFC and a surprisingly peppy Denver Broncos squad playing the Kansas City Chiefs close after firing Nathaniel Hackett.They close out the show burying Carson Wentz and wondering whether Lovie Smith and Kliff Kingsbury will be coaching their final games next Sunday.0:20 Pittsburgh Steelers 16, Baltimore Ravens 139:00 Minnesota Vikings 17, Green Bay Packers 4117:45 Carolina Panthers 24, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3025:50 San Francisco 49ers 37, Las Vegas Raiders 34 (OT)30:55 New Orleans Saints 20, Philadelphia Eagles 1035:00 Miami Dolphins 21, New England Patriots 2339:30 Denver Broncos 24, Kansas City Chiefs 2745:50 New York Jets 6, Seattle Seahawks 2349:10 Los Angeles Rams 10, Los Angeles Chargers 3153:05 Indianapolis Colts 10, New York Giants 3855:40 Chicago Bears 10, Detroit Lions 4158:10 Jacksonville Jaguars 31, Houston Texans 360:55 Cleveland Browns 24, Washington Commanders 1063:45 Arizona Cardinals 19, Atlanta Falcons 20Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Derek Carr's benching kicks off the 2023 QB carousel (and why Tom Brady to the Raiders makes sense)
A handful of dire quarterback news came down across the wire on Wednesday, setting up for a surprising end of the regular season and very interesting offseason. First and foremost, the Las Vegas Raiders benched Derek Carr for the remainder of the season and the QB has subsequently stepped away from the team, presumably having played his last snaps in silver and black.Charles Robinson & Jori Epstein kick off this mid-week podcast reacting to this news out of Las Vegas and how it would set up nicely for pending free agent QB Tom Brady to reunite for one last ride with his former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, now the head coach of the Raiders. Also, with Carr most likely done in Vegas, what teams would make sense as a landing spot for the 31-year-old passer?In other QB news, Charles & Jori discuss the latest concussion suffered by Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, what it means for his future and after that, analyze Ron Rivera's announcement that Carson Wentz would return as QB1 for the Washington Commanders.Afterwards, Charles & Jori return to Monday's news of the Denver Broncos firing first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett and what it means for the team going forward. How will the new coaching candidates react to the tumultuous first year under the Walton/Penner ownership group and what sort of information would they need before agreeing to coach Russell Wilson.Finally, they close out the podcast looking ahead to three of this weekend's biggest matchups: the Carolina Panthers traveling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night and the battle between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.0:20 Las Vegas Raiders bench Derek Carr and why Tom Brady signing with Las Vegas next offseason makes a ton of sense22:15 Latest concussion to Tua Tagovailoa & what is next for the Miami Dolphins QB32:30 Washington Commanders elevate Carson Wentz back as starting QB36:10 What candidates will want to know from Denver Broncos ownership after the firing of Nathaniel Hackett55:00 Panthers face Buccaneers for command of the NFC South59:35 Ravens host Steelers on SNF while Lamar's status remains murky62:15 Bills and Bengals face off for short-term bragging rights as best team in the NFLPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 16 Monday Morning Freestyle: Cowboys/Eagles need a rematch, Packers stay alive, Tua & Zach Wilson skid & Broncos fire Hackett
Christmas weekend was packed with football, from an eventful Jaguars-Jets matchup on Thursday night to a sleepy overtime thriller on Sunday night between the Buccaneers and Cardinals. The holiday craziness carried over into Monday as the Denver Broncos fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett only 15 games into his freshman season.Fresh off eggnog hangovers, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab recap all of the action from the holiday weekend, from a tightly contested Cowboys-Eagles game, to the Packers staying very alive in the NFC playoff hunt and the Tennessee Titans' late-season collapse.At the end of the show, they react live to the news that the Broncos are moving on from Hackett after less than a season and talk about what the next head coach needs to do to redeem the career of Russell Wilson.2:05 Philadelphia Eagles 34, Dallas Cowboys 408:55 Green Bay Packers 26, Miami Dolphins 2019:00 Jacksonville Jaguars 19, New York Jets 326:55 Houston Texans 19, Tennessee Titans 1431:45 Detroit Lions 23, Carolina Panthers 3738:25 Cincinnati Bengals 22, New England Patriots 1841:15 New York Giants 24, Minnesota Vikings 2748:15 Washington Commanders 20, San Francisco 49ers 3751:50 Seattle Seahawks 10, Kansas City Chiefs 2453:55 Buffalo Bills 35, Chicago Bears 1356:30 New Orleans Saints 17, Cleveland Browns 1057:45 Atlanta Falcons 9, Baltimore Ravens 1760:15 Las Vegas Raiders 10, Pittsburgh Steelers 1364:25 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, Arizona Cardinals 16 (OT)67:15 Denver Broncos 14, Los Angeles Rams 51; Broncos fire coach Nathaniel HackettPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Jalen Hurts' injury complicates NFC playoff picture, should Jets trade for Aaron Rodgers next offseason & why Robert Kraft needs to micromanage Bill Belichick
After not being in danger virtually all season, the top seed in the NFC is suddenly at risk. With a shoulder injury sustained by QB Jalen Hurts, likely elevating Gardner Minshew to the starting position for at least this week, the Philadelphia Eagles suddenly find themselves in a high-leverage divisional battle on Saturday afternoon against the playoff-hopeful Dallas Cowboys.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Charles McDonald & Jori Epstein to discuss what this means for the Eagles, Cowboys and the entire NFC playoff picture now that Hurts is likely to miss at least a week and may not even return until the playoffs in January.Later in the show, the crew breaks down a bunch of interesting Week 16 games and the major storylines to keep track of heading into them. The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets face off on Thursday night, and the spotlight will be on 2021 top picks Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, the latter of whom is making his second consecutive start after being benched for the now-injured Mike White earlier this season.The Cincinnati Bengals-New England Patriots matchup could mean a lot to Bill Belichick, who is staring down a rare losing season. Charles Robinson explains why missing the playoffs could mean new scrutiny for Belichick under owner Robert Kraft.Finally, the gang closes out the show discussing the fading Seattle Seahawks taking on a defensively stunted Kansas City Chiefs crew and how the legend of Brock Purdy has a chance to grow (or crumble) against the Washington Commanders.0:40 What Jalen Hurts' injury means for Eagles-Cowboys and the NFC playoff race10:45 All eyes on Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson in Jaguars-Jets24:10 While Bengals cruise to playoffs, Kraft needs to have more control over Belichick's decisions coming out of a rocky Patriots season37:55 Seahawks try to keep playoff hopes alive against below-average Chiefs defense46:10 The case against Brock Purdy going into 49ers-CommandersPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 15 Sunday Night Freestyle: Patriots' last-second blunder, Vikings' unbelievable comeback & Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived
Week 15 got off to a weird start in the NFL right away. Saturday's triple-header started off with the 10-win Minnesota Vikings instantly falling into a 33-0 hole at home against a struggling Indianapolis Colts team. Well they came back and ended up winning 39-36 and the weekend's games continued to get stranger from there; most notably by the absolutely wild finish in Las Vegas as the Raiders surprised the New England Patriots thanks to a Chandler Jones defensive touchdown on a play in which Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers threw an ill-advised lateral pass as the clock hit double-zeroes.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab look back at this weekend's wild slate of games including the aforementioned unbelievable finishes in Minneapolis and Las Vegas, the New York Giants essentially punching their playoff ticket with a win over the division rival Washington Commanders, Trevor Lawrence looking like the first overall pick in a surprise win over the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions clawing their way back to .500 thanks to a win over the New York Jets.0:25 New England Patriots 24, Las Vegas Raiders 3011:45 New York Giants 20, Washington Commanders 1215:40 Indianapolis Colts 36, Minnesota Vikings 3920:40 Miami Dolphins 29, Buffalo Bills 3223:50 Dallas Cowboys 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 4030:20 Cincinnati Bengals 34, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2334:25 Detroit Lions 20, New York Jets 1741:15 Kansas City Chiefs 30, Houston Texans 2443:30 Tennessee Titans 14, Los Angeles Chargers 1746:05 Baltimore Ravens 3, Cleveland Browns 1347:50 Philadelphia Eagles 25, Chicago Bears 2050:35 Atlanta Falcons 18, New Orleans Saints 2151:35 Pittsburgh Steelers 24, Carolina Panthers 1653:55 Arizona Cardinals 15, Denver Broncos 24Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Kyler Murray out for the season, NFC South is embarrassing & should OBJ skip regular season games before signing?
Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald are coming at you with a fresh episode following a busy week of storylines as we near the end of the NFL regular season.Pain strikes in Phoenix as the Arizona Cardinals quarterback, Kyler Murray has officially been diagnosed with a season ending knee injury. Compounding that news, Steve Keim, the Cardinals GM, has stepped away for health reasons. The fellas then decide the timetable for the reset in Arizona & who is on the chopping block first. After seeing other impending playoff teams add depth this week, the pod speculates whether or not GMs are over OBJ’s games & if it would be worth signing him at this point given his health status. The NFC South is so bad that Charles McDonald is proposing that none of the teams should make the playoffs. Atlanta has named a new starter at quarterback in Desmond Ridder resulting in Marcus Mariota ending his season early. On the front office side of things, as we get closer to the offseason, the show speculates which head coaching job is in the most danger along with who would be best to fill the openings. The fellas wrap up the show with a discussion about whether or not Dan Campbell should receive Coach of the Year votes.2:20 Kyler Murray’s season is over after suffering an ACL tear on Monday Night Football10:30 What are the consequences of OBJ signing to a team for only a playoff run?16:10 Playoff contenders are starting to add depth ahead of January22:50 The NFC South winner shouldn't be in the playoffs35:20 Teams that could be looking for new coaches this offseason46:35 Who are the top coaching candidates for the 2023 season?54:23 Dan Campbell should be considered for Coach of the YearStay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 14 Sunday Night Freestyle: Dolphins, Giants and Jets seasons slipping away, Purdy's 49ers blow out Buccaneers and Vikings finally catch an L
As the fifth and sixth overall picks in the 2020 NFL draft, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert are always going to be compared against one another. Herbert's success will always end up being a referendum on the Miami Dolphins' decision to pass him up that April. Tonight we got the first instance of real head-to-head feedback between these two star-crossed QBs and the teams that picked them back-to-back nearly three years ago, as Herbert's Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Dolphins 23-17 on Sunday Night Football.Yahoo's Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off their Sunday night podcast looking at these quarterbacks and their teams whose playoff hopes still are very much in flux with only four games remaining in the 2022 season. Is Tua's recent two-game slide a sign of a larger issue? Can Herbert keep the Chargers winning into the postseason?Charles & Frank address these questions and look at all the major storylines from Week 14, including Brock Purdy's San Francisco 49ers blowing out Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Buffalo Bills getting even against the New York Jets, the Detroit Lions keeping their win-streak alive against the 10-win Minnesota Vikings & the Dallas Cowboys barely squeaking by with a win against the league-worst Houston Texans.0:25 Miami Dolphins 17, Los Angeles Chargers 238:00 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7, San Francisco 49ers 3517:35 New York Jets 12, Buffalo Bills 2021:05 Minnesota Vikings 23, Detroit Lions 3428:30 Cleveland Browns 10, Cincinnati Bengals 2334:10 Houston Texans 23, Dallas Cowboys 2737:45 Philadelphia Eagles 48, New York Giants 2240:35 Kansas City Chiefs 34, Denver Broncos 2846:35 Jacksonville Jaguars 36, Tennessee Titans 2248:45 Carolina Panthers 30, Seattle Seahawks 2452:30 Baltimore Ravens 16, Pittsburgh Steelers 1454:35 Las Vegas Raiders 16, Los Angeles Rams 17Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

What's up with OBJ, Baker claimed by Rams, Titans fire GM Robinson & is Brandon Staley right for Chargers?
As the 2022 NFL playoffs draw closer, some of the most interesting storylines approaching Week 14 involve a bunch of parties who will not be a part of the on-field action this Sunday. Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to dissect the biggest NFL stories of the week.Kicking things off, the market for free agent WR Odell Beckham, Jr. may be cooling off as reports are that OBJ may not be ready to return to action until at least the first round of the playoffs. Jori reports from her experience inside the Cowboys facility why the front-runners for OBJ may be having second thoughts.Next, the crew talks about the latest on Jimmy Garoppolo's injury in San Francisco, what the pathway to success looks like for Brock Purdy under Kyle Shanahan's system and how Dallas and Philadelphia look just too unstoppable in that conference.Elsewhere in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers shockingly released former first overall pick Baker Mayfield on Monday, giving the QB an opportunity to play the remaining 5 games of the season with another squad before hitting free agency in March. The floundering Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams picked him up Tuesday, and while his status for Thursday night's Rams/Raiders match is in question — what's not in question is that this may be one of Mayfield's last chances to prove himself before entering the Akili Smith/Josh Rosen/Ryan Leaf zone of first-round QB busts.In the AFC, the major news of the week was the Tennessee Titans unexpectedly parting ways with GM Jon Robinson. After 7 straight winning seasons and what's about to be 3 straight AFC South titles under Robinson's management, the crew tries to parse why the Titans made such a bold move mid-season.Finally, McDonald expands upon his recent column about the Los Angeles Chargers, why they're in the middle of another frustratingly average season & if Brandon Staley's coaching mistakes are putting him on the hot seat.0:20 The latest on Odell Beckham, Jr. and why he hasn't signed yet with the Dallas Cowboys or any other organization15:00 Can Kyle Shanahan scheme Brock Purdy into playoff success, or will the Cowboys & Eagles crush the 49ers in the playoffs?23:30 Baker Mayfield's future after being cut by Carolina Panthers, claimed by Los Angeles Rams33:30 Fallout from Tennessee Titans firing GM Jon Robinson in a surprise move45:35 Is Los Angeles Chargers HC Brandon Staley cut out to be a head coach in the NFL?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Week 13 Sunday Night Freestyle: Brock Purdy saves the day, Burrow is KC's kryptonite & Deshaun's underwhelming return
The playoff picture in both conferences was shaken like a snow-globe in an earthquake on Sunday afternoon as two developments from the late games may very well determine this January's playoff seedings.First, in San Francisco, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo left the game with a broken foot that will reportedly sideline him for the rest of the season, significantly dampening the hopes of a major playoff contender. In that game, the 49ers beat the Miami Dolphins, bumping the Buffalo Bills atop the AFC East. Paired with the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Kansas City Chiefs in the afternoon's other marquee matchup, suddenly Buffalo jumped from the fifth to the first overall seed in a matter of hours.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to all thirteen of Sunday's games from around the league including the aforementioned injury to Garoppolo, the Bengals rounding into Super Bowl form yet again, the Minnesota Vikings holding off the New York Jets, Deshaun Watson's return to football in Houston and Lamar Jackson's ill-timed knee injury.0:20 Miami Dolphins 17, San Francisco 49ers 3310:15 Kansas City Chiefs 24, Cincinnati Bengals 2718:40 New York Jets 22, Minnesota Vikings 2925:40 Washington Commanders 20, New York Giants 20 (OT)29:25 Cleveland Browns 27, Houston Texans 1441:45 Indianapolis Colts 19, Dallas Cowboys 5444:35 Tennessee Titans 10, Philadelphia Eagles 3548:40 Denver Broncos 9, Baltimore Ravens 1054:05 Los Angeles Chargers 20, Las Vegas Raiders 2757:50 Green Bay Packers 28, Chicago Bears 1959:40 Pittsburgh Steelers 19, Atlanta Falcons 1661:30 Jacksonville Jaguars 14, Detroit Lions 4064:40 Seattle Seahawks 27, Los Angeles Rams 23Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The 7 most interesting Week 13 games & why the two worst may be the two most compelling
Week 13 has a number of huge games on the slate as the NFL playoff picture comes into focus, and ironically, two of the most interesting ones feature 3 teams that aren't even sniffing the playoffs.Before diving into this week's excellent schedule, Charles Robinson & Jori Epstein open today's podcast checking in on two other teams whose playoff hopes have all but been extinguished. Charles reports on former Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule and some of the comments he's made about his firing since taking a job as the new HC of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Next, our hosts talk about the Los Angeles Rams shutting down Aaron Donald for the week due to an ankle injury and how the team is likely going to be one of the worst squads for the rest of the season — great news for the Detroit Lions who possess LA's first-round pick in 2023.Later in the podcast, Charles & Jori dive into why Cleveland Browns-Houston Texans and Denver Broncos-Baltimore Ravens may not be the most appetizing on-the-field offerings this weekend, but have the most compelling off-the-field storylines between the return of Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson's contract status and the continual stories of Russell Wilson's unpopularity within the Denver locker room.After that, Charles & Jori dive into five of the spicier matchups of the weekend that will definitely have an effect on playoff seeding: the Buffalo Bills traveling to the division rival New England Patriots, Mike White's New York Jets taking on Kirk Cousins' Minnesota Vikings, a compelling NFC East matchup in the Washington Commanders traveling to the New York Giants, a Kyle Shanahan-Mike McDaniel showdown in Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers and an AFC Championship game rematch in the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to the Cincinnati Bengals.0:20 Matt Rhule begins to speak after his firing from the Carolina Panthers7:25 Los Angeles Rams' crumbling season only means good things for Detroit Lions' draft picks14:25 Deshaun Watson's return to football in Browns @ Texans26:30 Lamar Jackson's contract and Russell Wilson's locker room problems in Broncos @ Ravens37:30 Buffalo Bills look to maintain playoff seeding at New England Patriots40:35 All eyes on Mike White as Jets face Vikings47:05 Washington Commanders and New York Giants kick off two games in three weeks against each other50:15 Birth of the Kyle Shanahan-Mike McDaniel rivalry in Dolphins @ 49ers61:05 Chiefs face Bengals in AFC Championship rematchPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 12 Sunday Night Freestyle: Jordan Love gets another shot, Ravens & Buccaneers get upset & Zach Wilson's bad day
Quarterbacks have been injured all across the NFL landscape this November. When you're seeing the likes of Bryce Perkins and Trevor Siemian starting on Sunday afternoon, then you know the injury bug has leveled the position. The most important QB injury of the week may have been on Sunday night, when Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers took a shot to the ribs that removed him from the game in the third quarter. Paired with Rodgers' thumb injury sustained a few weeks ago, the Packers may be getting an extended look at 2020 first rounder Jordan Love for the foreseeable future.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to Sunday night's Packers/Eagles 33-40 barnburner and suggest that it may be time for Rodgers to ride the bench for the rest of the season if Green Bay wants to get one more legitimate look at Love. They also take a look back to the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys & Minnesota Vikings — all legitimate Super Bowl hopefuls — sweeping the three Thanksgiving day games. Later in the show, they recap the rest of this Sunday's Week 12 action, including surprising losses sustained by the Baltimore Ravens & Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Chargers winning by way of a 2-point conversion in the final seconds and a New York Jets win that may keep former 2nd overall pick Zach Wilson at the bottom of the depth chart for the rest of the season.0:20 Green Bay Packers 33, Philadelphia Eagles 406:25 Thanksgiving games: Buffalo Bills 28, Detroit Lions 25; New York Giants 20, Dallas Cowboys 28; New England Patriots 26, Minnesota Vikings 3316:50 Baltimore Ravens 27, Jacksonville Jaguars 2821:35 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, Cleveland Browns 23 (OT)26:00 Cincinnati Bengals 20, Tennessee Titans 1630:00 Chicago Bears 10, New York Jets 3137:55 Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks 34 (OT)43:10 Los Angeles Chargers 25, Arizona Cardinals 2445:50 Atlanta Falcons 13, Washington Commanders 1950:10 Los Angeles Rams 10, Kansas City Chiefs 2655:25 New Orleans Saints 0, San Francisco 49ers 1357:20 Houston Texans 15, Miami Dolphins 3061:40 Denver Broncos 10, Carolina Panthers 23Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

49ers embarrass Kyler-less Cardinals, Jets at crossroads with Zach Wilson & previewing Thanksgiving day games
Thanksgiving day football is only one day away, so Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein are back to mark the occasion that signals the entrance of the NFL season into its final stretch run over the holidays.After kicking off with some turkey-day talk, Charles tees off the football conversation with the San Francisco 49ers' dominating Monday night win over the Arizona Cardinals. With Kyler Murray not present for a second straight game, are the Cardinals and Kyler heading for an unhappy divorce sooner rather than later, despite the QB signing a massive extension earlier this year?On the other side of the ball, Charles & Jori discuss the increasing supremacy of the San Francisco offense thanks to the four-headed monster of Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel & Brandon Aiyuk.Next, our hosts check in on the traditionally dysfunctional New York Jets, who face a potentially franchise shifting decision as coach Robert Saleh refuses to commit to Zach Wilson as their quarterback going forward.Closing out the podcast, Charles & Jori preview the three Thanksgiving day games in the Buffalo Bills facing the surprisingly frisky Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys hosting the division rival New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings trying to shake off last week's disappointing loss against the visiting New England Patriots.0:20 Thanksgiving talk and bad Thanksgiving food takes8:30 Arizona Cardinals' Monday night loss and increasingly tenuous relationship with Kyler Murray19:45 San Francisco 49ers gaining steam as one of NFC's powerhouse offenses.26:40 What do the New York Jets do with Zach Wilson going forward?36:50 Why the Bills and Lions could put up a fun Thanksgiving day opener40:15 Why Giants at Cowboys is the Odell Beckham Bowl46:20 Minnesota hopes to get right on Thursday night against a shaky New England offenseStay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 11 Sunday Night Freestyle: Mahomes is inevitable, Cowboys crush Vikings, should Jets bench Zach Wilson?
Death, taxes and Patrick Mahomes game-winning drives. There's no avoiding any of them. The Kansas City Chiefs walked off with their fourth straight win on Sunday night, this time against the Los Angeles Chargers thanks to yet another impressive Mahomes performance, elevated by a devastating 3 touchdown game from tight end Travis Kelce.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast discussing the inevitability of this year's Chiefs team and if Mahomes has entered the Tom Brady-esque territory of being reviled by the 31 other franchises for simply being too good at football.Afterwards, Charles & Frank bounce the discussion around to all of Sunday's games and storylines, including a dominating Dallas Cowboys win over the Minnesota Vikings, the one-loss Philadelphia Eagles barely hanging on in a one-point victory over the Indianapolis Colts, whether the New York Jets should bench Zach Wilson, the drumbeat against Nathaniel Hackett in Denver and much more.0:25 Kansas City Chiefs 30, Los Angeles Chargers 277:50 Dallas Cowboys 40, Minnesota Vikings 316:25 Philadelphia Eagles 17, Indianapolis Colts 1621:40 Detroit Lions 31, New York Giants 1827:15 Cincinnati Bengals 37, Pittsburgh Steelers 3030:00 Chicago Bears 24, Atlanta Falcons 2735:40 Cleveland Browns 23, Buffalo Bills 3141:30 New York Jets 3, New England Patriots 1050:20 Las Vegas Raiders 22, Denver Broncos 16 (OT)57:05 Los Angeles Rams 20, New Orleans Saints 2759:50 Washington Commanders 23, Houston Texans 1062:10 Carolina Panthers 3, Baltimore Ravens 13Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

This Sunday in Buffalo, NY, we may have just witnessed the game of the season and a potential Super Bowl matchup. The Minnesota Vikings won a wild 33-30 overtime matchup against the favorite Buffalo Bills in a game with wild goal line stands, incredible catches, insane fumbles and so many reversals of fortune, the win probability chart looked like a seismograph.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab lead off this Sunday night recap podcast with the amazing game in western New York, how it changes the playoff picture in the AFC and how it solidifies Minnesota's standing in the NFC.The guys recap all fourteen games from Sunday's Week 10 action including the Green Bay Packers finally getting right against the Dallas Cowboys, Patrick Mahomes making his MVP case against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tom Brady's win in Germany and a Las Vegas Raiders loss so embarrassing that no one in the franchise may be safe from the pink slip come January.0:20 Minnesota Vikings 33, Buffalo Bills 30 (OT)13:30 Dallas Cowboys 28, Green Bay Packers 31 (OT)20:50 Los Angeles Chargers 16, San Francisco 49ers 2223:20 Jacksonville Jaguars 17, Kansas City Chiefs 2728:00 Detroit Lions 31, Chicago Bears 3035:35 Seattle Seahawks 16, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2138:50 Indianapolis Colts 25, Las Vegas Raiders 2048:15 Cleveland Browns 17, Miami Dolphins 3951:45 Denver Broncos 10, Tennessee Titans 1754:55 Arizona Cardinals 27, Los Angeles Rams 1757:45 Houston Texans 16, New York Giants 2458:40 New Orleans Saints 10, Pittsburgh Steelers 20Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Emergency podcast: Indianapolis Colts fire Frank Reich, hire Jeff Saturday as interim head coach
Good rule of thumb: Don't make any predictions if Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is involved. That was this podcast's mistake a mere 24 hours ago, when we closed out the Sunday night recap proclaiming that Irsay would be patient with head coach Frank Reich after a disastrous 3-5-1 start to the 2022 season.In actuality, the opposite happened: the Colts fired Reich early on Monday and in an even more surprising move, hired former Colts center Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach. Saturday is widely accepted as a head-scratching decision, considering he has no coaching at either the professional or collegiate level.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab reconvene to react to this one-two punch of wild news out of Indianapolis, what to expect out of Saturday, who was passed over for the job and why it's always best to expect the unexpected with Jim Irsay.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 9 Sunday Night Freestyle: Chiefs survive Titans in OT, Jets shock Bills & a Dolphins-Bears offensive showcase
For a while there on Sunday night, it looked like rookie quarterback Malik Willis and the Tennessee Titans were going to outlast Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. It was a David vs. Goliath matchup for the 3rd round QB out of Liberty, and despite going home with the loss, they forced the Chiefs deep into overtime and Mahomes to throw a near-record 68 passes.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off their Sunday night recap podcast talking about the interesting game in Kansas City and why the lack of a run game for the Chiefs continues to be their Achilles heel.Later in the show, the guys recap all of the games and storylines from Sunday's Week 9 action, including a shocking New York Jets win over the Buffalo Bills, the increasing possibility that Justin Fields may be the best QB in the 2021 class & why the Green Bay Packers should've blown up the team and traded Aaron Rodgers last offseason.Tennessee Titans 17, Kansas City Chiefs 20 (OT)Buffalo Bills 17, New York Jets 20Miami Dolphins 35, Chicago Bears 32Green Bay Packers 9, Detroit Lions 15Seattle Seahawks 31, Arizona Cardinals 21Los Angeles Rams 13, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16Los Angeles Chargers 20, Atlanta Falcons 17Minnesota Vikings 20, Washington Commanders 17Carolina Panthers 21, Cincinnati Bengals 42Las Vegas Raiders 20, Jacksonville Jaguars 27Indianapolis Colts 3, New England Patriots 26Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The NFL trade deadline came and went on Tuesday afternoon, and for what feels like the first time in years, it was actually exciting!

The Green Bay Packers' losing streak now stands at a shocking 4 losses and despite having the Detroit Lions on their schedule next week, it's hard to see any signs of optimism for the Aaron Rodgers & the perennial playoff contender. Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off their Sunday evening podcast reacting to their 10-point loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. Even if they hang on to make the playoffs, do they have any hope of beating the other NFC contenders.

Rams with a historic Christian McCaffrey performance.

Aaron Rodgers & Tom Brady lost again this weekend as the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both fell to 3-4 as their teams near the halfway mark of the season. Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast with a question that needs to be legitimately asked at this point: are Rodgers and Brady hitting a wall?After discussing the free fall in Tampa & Green Bay, the guys discuss Kansas City's blowout of the San Francisco 49ers, who traded for Christian McCaffrey on Thursday night & the New York Giants winning yet again on a surprisingly multi-faceted performance from Daniel Jones.Charles & Frank react to all of Sunday's games on the episode including the return of Tua Tagovailoa in a win for the Miami Dolphins, the Seattle Seahawks elevating themselves atop the NFC West, the Cincinnati Bengals returning to their 2021 offensive juggernaut status and another offensively-challenged loss for the Denver Broncos.0:25 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3, Carolina Panthers 2112:05 Green Bay Packers 21, Washington Commanders 2320:05 Kansas City Chiefs 44, San Francisco 49ers 2328:45 New York Giants 23, Jacksonville Jaguars 1736:45 Detroit Lions 6, Dallas Cowboys 2440:35 Pittsburgh Steelers 10, Miami Dolphins 1643:35 Seattle Seahawks 37, Los Angeles Chargers 2351:00 Cleveland Browns 20, Baltimore Ravens 2353:50 Atlanta Falcons 17, Cincinnati Bengals 3556:30 New York Jets 16, Denver Broncos 964:50 Indianapolis Colts 10, Tennessee Titans 1966:45 Houston Texans 20, Las Vegas Raiders 38Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

When you get all the NFL owners in one room (minus lightning rod Dan Snyder), the pressure is bound to boil over when you have that collection of money, ego & power. Such was the case on Tuesday as multiple NFL owner feuds spilled out and generated some spicy headlines.Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein, who was at these owner meetings in New York this week, to discuss the fireworks coming from the semi-annual meetup of the league's top powers. First, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay spoke out against Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder, insisting that, "there [is] merit to removing [Snyder]."

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab are back for their weekly Sunday night NFL recap. Leading things off, the guys start the show with Jalen Hurts & the Philadelphia Eagles staying undefeated against the division rival Dallas Cowboys. While falling to 4-2 isn't ideal for Dallas, it was ironically a positive loss for them as they look forward to bringing Dak Prescott back from thumb surgery as early as next weekend.Charles & Frank also discuss the Buffalo Bills' revenge over their recent bully, the Kansas City Chiefs. Josh Allen looks like he may be the best QB in football and this 24-20 win might just be the difference between hosting an AFC championship game in upstate New York vs. western Missouri.The guys also revel in the two other New York wins, with the Jets handily taking down the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field, while the Giants held off the Baltimore Ravens at home in MetLife Stadium.Stick around through the entire show as Charles & Frank recap all of the Sunday Week 6 games in a head-scratching weekend that seemingly left half of the teams with a 3-3 record.0:25 Dallas Cowboys 17, Philadelphia Eagles 266:30 Buffalo Bills 24, Kansas City Chiefs 2016:25 New York Jets 27, Green Bay Packers 1022:45 Baltimore Ravens 20, New York Giants 2429:20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 18, Pittsburgh Steelers 2034:35 New England Patriots 38, Cleveland Browns 1540:25 San Francisco 49ers 14, Atlanta Falcons 2843:30 Cincinnati Bengals 30, New Orleans Saints 2646:40 Jacksonville Jaguars 27, Indianapolis Colts 3451:35 Minnesota Vikings 24, Miami Dolphins 1656:10 Carolina Panthers 10, Los Angeles Rams 2459:30 Arizona Cardinals 9, Seattle Seahawks 19Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Two Monday Night Football games. Two very different instances of a player shoving a non-player to the ground, resulting in legal action.

Bobby Wagner's protestor smackdown, Tom Brady's marriage, Geno Smith's redemption & one insane fake Ravens trade
The biggest hit on Monday night's game between the Los Angeles Rams & San Francisco 49ers wasn't recorded in the official stat sheet. During a stoppage in play, Rams LB Bobby Wagner tackled a protester who had made his way onto the field in what at first was a viral moment for NFL Twitter. On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the protester has now filed assault charges against Wagner. Yahoo's Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald kick off the podcast discussing the wild twists of this story, if you assume risk of being decked by an NFL player when you run on a field or if Bobby Wagner was out of line for taking the agitator down.There was also a game on Monday night, in which the Rams lost to San Francisco 24-9. The guys try to diagnose what is wrong with the defending Super Bowl champs this year.Later in the show, Robinson & McDonald analyze the latest in Tom Brady's off-the-field issues as reports indicate he may be getting divorced, Seattle Seahawk Geno Smith's late-career resurgence, why the Atlanta Falcons should think about starting Desmond Ridder over Marcus Mariota & which overlooked WR the Baltimore Ravens should trade for.Finally, the guys close out the show previewing a trio of key Week 5 games.0:25 Bobby Wagner tackles protestor on MNF, who later files assault charges9:05 What is wrong with the LA Rams?21:05 Tom Brady's marriage31:00 Geno Smith's late-career resurgence39:15 Why the Falcons should start Desmond Ridder49:10 One fake Baltimore Ravens WR trade57:30 Dallas Cowboys @ Los Angeles Rams preview61:45 Philadelphia Eagles @ Arizona Cardinals preview66:05 Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens previewPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night episode not by looking at the day's slate of games, but by rewinding to the scary scene in Cincinnati on Thursday night, where Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion. Tagovailoa's injury on Thursday night reignited a conversation around player safety that Charles argues played a major effect on Sunday's slate of games.After discussing the large shadow Thursday Night Football cast over the weekend & how the league will next address player safety, the guys dive into the rest of Sunday's games: from Kansas City's thorough handling of Tampa Bay, Buffalo's comeback in Baltimore, the Green Bay Packers needing an entire overtime period to handle New England 3rd stringer Bailey Zappe and more.0:20 How Tua Tagovailoa's concussion loomed over Sunday's games10:00 Kansas City Chiefs 41, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3119:10 Jacksonville Jaguars 21, Philadelphia Eagles 2924:20 Buffalo Bills 23, Baltimore Ravens 2031:35 New York Jets 24, Pittsburgh Steelers 2036:35 New England Patriots 24, Green Bay Packers 27 (OT)44:05 Chicago Bears 13, New York Giants 2047:30 Denver Broncos 23, Las Vegas Raiders 3251:20 Los Angeles Chargers 34, Houston Texans 2452:50 Tennessee Titans 24, Indianapolis Colts 1754:40 Seattle Seahawks 48, Detroit Lions 4557:20 Washington Commanders 10, Dallas Cowboys 2560:50 Minnesota Vikings 28, New Orleans Saints 2562:30 Cleveland Browns 20, Atlanta Falcons 2363:45 Arizona Cardinals 26, Carolina Panthers 16Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Tua & Hurts making the leap, QB class of '21 struggles, Dak vs. Rush & RIP Pro Bowl
Charles Robinson welcomes back Yahoo's newest NFL reporters in Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to the Wednesday podcast. They kick off the festivities with the end of another festivity: indeed, the Pro Bowl is no more. The crew discusses if this is good for the game as well as the news that Rihanna would be headlining next February's Super Bowl halftime show.Later in the podcast, Jori reports from Dallas where there may or may not be serious QB competition between undefeated Cowboys backup Cooper Rush and Dak Prescott, the latter of which is still recovering from a thumb surgery. Does Jerry Jones actually intend to fan the flames of controversy here or is it all just bluster from the NFL's greatest showman.Next, the trio turn their attention towards Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa and Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. Both have their teams undefeated after Week 3 and respectively lead the NFL in many passing statistics. Our hosts discuss what it means for the Dolphins and Eagles to be seemingly out of the QB wilderness now that Tua & Jalen are seemingly making the leap to stardom.Afterwards, the group closes out the podcast discussing how the QB class of 2021 (Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac Jones & Davis Mills) is decimated with injury and uncertainty just 20 games into their young careers.Finally, the podcast is closed out with a discussion of five key Week 4 games to keep an eye on this weekend.0:40 End of the Pro Bowl & Rhianna secures Super Bowl halftime show14:45 Cooper Rush vs. Dak Prescott in Dallas' QB non-competition28:45 Tua Tagovailoa & Jalen Hurts lifting fortunes of Miami Dolphins & Philadelphia Eagles43:50 QB class of '21 struggling, who aside from Lawrence can be successful?59:10 Week 4 games: MIA @ CIN, BUF @ BAL, JAX @ PHI, KC @ TB, LAR @ SFPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

After years of denials, the truth may be finally catching up to former Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre. Charles Robinson welcomes former NFL safety Tank Williams onto the podcast, kicking off the conversation with the recent text messages that implicate Favre in a plan to divert federal welfare funds towards building a new volleyball stadium at Southern Miss. Charles explains that this is yet another element in a large mosaic of questionable behavior from Favre, whose career should be looked at in a more skeptical light.Later in the podcast, the guys talk about coach Nathaniel Hackett's dubious game management at the end of Monday's Denver Broncos loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Dallas Cowboys & Pittsburgh Steelers handling the injuries of Dak Prescott & T.J. Watt in wildly different fashions and close out the episode previewing a handful of key Week 2 games.0:55 Brett Favre scandal20:45 Denver Broncos MNF loss29:20 Dallas Cowboys rushing Dak Prescott back from injury39:10 Pittsburgh Steelers approach to T.J.

Jimmy G stays in SF (for now), Tom Brady's emotionally raw presser & AFC East/West previews
After the summer of endless speculation, Jimmy Garoppolo is...staying in San Francisco for the time being.

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off today's podcast discussing what this means for Lance, Garoppolo and the 49ers organization as a whole that they are employing the league's highest paid backup.Next, Charles & Frank discuss Tom Brady's recent press conference in Tampa Bay, where he uncovered a rarely-seen part of his personality; an emotionally raw glimpse into the inner workings of the future Hall of Famer.In the remainder of the show, the guys preview the eight teams that comprise the AFC East & West: why there are few signs of optimism coming out of New England, why the Jets are poised to waste another year of Zach Wilson's youth, why the Chargers are poised to correct the franchise's cursed attempts at glory & if the Chiefs' defensive roster can keep their high-powered offense in games and more.0:20 Jimmy Garoppolo restructures contract in San Francisco10:30 Tom Brady's revealing press conference21:45 Buffalo Bills29:15 New England Patriots33:55 Miami Dolphins38:30 New York Jets48:15 Las Vegas Raiders52:05 Los Angeles Chargers57:50 Denver Broncos63:05 Kansas City ChiefsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Most notably, the video shows Aaron Donald swinging a helmet (or two) at opposing players in the middle of the scrum.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the podcast reacting to the wild video and discussing what the league's options are in the grey area of practice fights, where historically there is very little precedent for players earning suspensions.Later in the episode, the guys talk about the injury to Dallas Cowboys LT Tyron Smith & Jerry Jones' oddly pervasive optimism, despite signs that yet another Cowboys season is headed down the wrong track.For the remainder of the episode, Charles & Frank spend time deconstructing the NFC East and NFC West divisions and previewing their thoughts on each team as we approach two weeks until the kickoff of Week 1.0:20 Aaron Donald and the Rams/Bengals fight10:40 Dallas Cowboys lose OT Tyron Smith21:40 Philadelphia Eagles27:50 New York Giants30:45 Washington Commanders39:50 Seattle Seahawks44:05 Los Angeles Rams48:35 San Francisco 49ers56:15 Arizona CardinalsPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab for a look around the league, starting off with Tom Brady's return from an 11-day excused absence and the ridiculous rumors that he may have been appearing on The Masked Singer.

Punishments for Dolphins & Watson, plus camp deep-dives on Cowboys, Broncos & Vikings
Monday & Tuesday saw two long-awaited punishments get delivered in the league as first, independent arbitrator Sue Robinson levied a 6-game suspension at Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and later, the NFL took away a future 1st and 3rd round pick from the Miami Dolphins who were found to have been tampering in order to acquire Tom Brady and Sean Payton.Charles Robinson discusses those two major developments and more on the latest podcast. First he speaks with The Athletic's Arif Hasan about Miami's punishment & the league's casual dismissal of tanking games before diving into Arif's expertise: the Minnesota Vikings. They talk about the new blood atop the organization in rookie head coach Kevin O'Connell & new GM Kewsi Adofo-Mensah & Kirk Cousins' future with the team.Next, he speaks with Dallas Cowboys beat reporter Jori Epstein of USA Today. Charles & Jori talk about what could happen next with the NFL's upcoming decision whether or not to appeal Deshaun Watson's suspension, if the Cowboys' culture is strained by Jerry Jones' split roles in the organization & whether Dak Prescott was more injured than we thought last season. (34:25)Finally, Charles rings up Broncos insider Mike Klis of 9 News Denver to talk about the immediate fallout from Tim Patrick's ACL tear, the flood of new energy coming into the building with a new owner, QB, coach and GM all stepping into the organization within 18 months and why even a 10-win season from the Broncos could make them a scary team to play in January.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who were expected to draft a quarterback went with local kid Kenny Pickett while Malik Willis needs to wait another day to hear his name called.Charles & Eric talk about the two veteran trades, Jets and Lions making big moves and the Packers avoiding wide receivers...again.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

How the Deebo Samuel trade request is shaking up the future of the salary cap
On Wednesday, ESPN's Jeff Darlington shook up the NFL world, reporting that Deebo Samuel had requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. The wideout has been the center of trade speculation all offseason as he is likely to be dealt and/or receive a massive contract extension at a time WR money is exploding throughout league salary caps.To talk about this situation in depth, Charles Robinson is joined by none other than Jeff Darlington. They chat about where Deebo currently stands with the 49ers, how likely it is he may be dealt, what teams are his main suitors and how this revolution in wide receiver money will likely affect the salary cap for years.Later, they chat about DK Metcalf and AJ Brown, two other star wideouts who could be in line for a massive payday or a trade. Following that, Charles & Jeff discuss why Kyler Murray seems more likely than not to stay in Arizona.Finally, the guys circle back to the rumors of Tom Brady's interest in co-owning the Miami Dolphins. Jeff did some research and found the conditions that would allow a team minority owner to also play for said team.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

2022 All-Juice team in honor of Terez Paylor: Aidan Hutchinson, Sauce Gardner & more
Charles Robinson is joined by Eric Edholm to break down the 2022 All-Juice team. The late Terez Paylor put together the squad of NFL draft candidates that exemplify effort, attitude, and performance on and off the field and Charles and Eric have picked up the torch to continue the tradition. The guys have a feeling Terez would have loved this class because it is a football nerd's dream... a lot of talent with not a clear-cut #1 QB. Needless to say, scouts have their work cut out for them. Charles and Eric go position by position and dive into each player and why they made the cut. From the potential first-overall pick Aidan Hutchinson to the loaded undrafted class, this year's All-Juice team has it all. Are we expecting shocking picks and plenty of trades in Las Vegas? The duo also chats news nuggets off the top including Dallas Cowboys DB Kelvin Joseph's recent involvement with the police and the tragic death of a young man.

The Winter of Baker's discontent, Carr's deal signals $50m QB era & the NFL's Tom Brady tampering conundrum
Yesterday, Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield (and his dog) appeared on a podcast to air his grievances against the team that drafted him and still has yet to trade him. In the words of today's guest on this podcast, "shut up!"Charles Robinson is joined by NFL Network's Jim Trotter to talk about Baker's current sad state of affairs, what his current trade value appears to be and what the former first overall pick can to do save his spiraling career.Later, Charles & Jim look at Derek Carr's recent three-year extension with the Las Vegas Raiders. With many of the league's top QBs entering a $40 million per year average salary, is $50 million about to be the new $40 million? Also, despite this current spending spree, have the Raiders even made a dent in their ability to compete for a division title in the AFC West?Afterwards, the guys dive into the ongoing theory linking Tom Brady, the Miami Dolphins, Sean Payton & the Brian Flores lawsuit into a Charlie Kelly-like wall of yarn. As more pieces come together, is the NFL about to investigate itself in a circle proving multiple pieces of the Flores suit to be true?Finally, the guys spend the latter half the show discussing HBCUs and the NFL draft, why it's difficult for HBCU athletes to make the leap into the NFL, despite standouts like Darius Leonard & the many forces that continue to hold back black athletes and coaches from these schools.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The football world was shocked over the weekend when Ohio State standout, former first-round pick with Washington and Pittsburgh backup QB Dwayne Haskins was killed after being struck by an automobile in Florida at the age of 24.Charles Robinson & Eric Edholm open the podcast remembering the short career of Haskins, reflect on the outpouring of love for the player & how the media has covered this tragedy.Later Charles & Eric stay in Washington as they discuss the latest allegations against the Washington Commanders. On Wednesday the congressional oversight committee tasked with investigating the franchise issued a memo alleging stealing deposits from season ticket holders & misidentifying ticket revenue that should have gone to the league. With the walls closing in on Dan Snyder, will the NFL levy a never-before-seen punishment on the Washington owner?Afterwards, Charles provides an update on the latest in the 22 civil suits facing new Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson. There will be a moratorium on hearing these cases from August 2022 until March 2023, Charles explains what happens next as this saga is likely to continue into next year and beyond.Finally, Charles & Eric are joined by former Atlanta Falcons scout Rodrik David, who discusses what it is like inside every NFL war room at this point of the year, what the year-round scouting process is like on college players & shares his thoughts on a number of prospects likely to be selected later in this month's draft.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The daily NFL soap opera continues with in a way befitting of the Gen Z & Millennial era: with a player removing all mentions of his current team from his Instagram profile. Yes, that's what Deebo Samuel was up to this Thursday, in a move likely to make 49er fans light their hair on fire with anxiety.Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo Fantasy expert Matt Harmon onto the podcast to chat about what's going on with Deebo in San Francisco, as he is yet another wide receiver due to receive a monstrous new contract in the coming year.Charles later dives into new developments spurring out of the Brian Flores lawsuit. First, former Cardinals HC Steve Wilks and Titans DC Ray Horton added their names to the class action suit against the NFL and multiple clubs. Simultaneously, new audio was discovered of former Titans coach Mike Mularkey revealing that his promotion to head coach at the club skirted the league's Rooney Rule.Another interesting story is the report that the Dolphins may have promised Tom Brady an ownership stake in the team in an apparent move to lure the QB to Miami this offseason in a deal that ultimately never came to pass. Charles explains why he believes the reports.Finally, the guys turn their focus to the 2022 NFL draft. Matt breaks down his tiers in the wide receiver class & why he believes five wideouts will go in the first round.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Another Washington scandal, Kraft fires shots at Belichick & that wild Eagles-Saints pick swap
The Washington Commanders continue to make headlines for all the wrong reasons, this time after allegations that the franchise was withholding ticket income from the NFL's revenue sharing program among its 32 clubs. It's just another day in Dan Snyder's Washington.Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo's Frank Schwab onto the podcast, kicking off the episode with these latest allegations & why financial improprieties like this could somehow, finally, maybe be the thing that forces Snyder to sell the team.Next, Charles & Frank talk about some comments New England Patriots owner made about the teams recent postseason performance and successes (or lack thereof) in the draft. Is he firing shots at coach Bill Belichick? And what sort of success should the Patriots realistically expect after the incredible twenty-year run led by Tom Brady? (18:30)Later, the guys talk about the epic trade between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints that saw eight total future draft picks get swapped. Why are the Saints stockpiling in 2022 while the Eagles are taking the long-view and looking ahead to the 2023 and 2024 draft? (35:20)After that, Charles & Frank debate the ballooning salaries for wide receivers, as A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf and Deebo Samuel will all likely land monster contracts in the next year. Should rebuilding teams like the Seattle Seahawks dole out large salaries to skill players while their QB position remains a large question mark? (43:25)Finally, the guys close out the show on Jim Harbaugh arranging for Colin Kaepernick to throw during last weekend's Michigan Wolverines spring game. Did an appearance like this move the needle towards a Kaepernick return to the NFL? (54:00)Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The conspiracy theory behind Bruce Arians' retirement, Bobby Wagner to LA & Edholm's latest mock draft
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a completely normal and not at all strange offseason. After losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, Tom Brady abruptly retired on a Saturday, then un-retired six weeks later on the eve of free agency. Then on Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arians announced his surprise retirement, to be succeeded by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo Sports' Eric Edholm to react to this week's bombshell news and ask the question: could these events be somehow related? Did an underlying issue stemming from Antonio Brown's sudden banishment from the Bucs drive a wedge between Brady & Arians — and how does it relate to the Brian Flores lawsuit in Miami? Charles has the tin foil hat and all the answers.Later in the podcast, the guys respond to the news that free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner signed with the aforementioned Super Bowl champion Rams, who continue to stockpile star players on both sides of the ball.In the second half of the show, Eric rolls through the top 10 on his latest mock draft and Charles dives into Eric's predictions as they discuss the Jaguars' first pick, where some rookie wideouts may land & whether Carolina or Seattle would be first to draft a QB.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Why the Tyreek Hill trade to Miami symbolizes the tough offseasons in Kansas City, Green Bay & Dallas
The seismic 2022 NFL offseason trucks along with even more shocking trades. On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs traded star wideout Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a slew of five future draft picks.

Blockbuster Wilson, Wentz, Mack trades set in motion the lead-up to free agency
When it was reported that Aaron Rodgers would be staying in Green Bay on Tuesday morning, you may have thought that would have been the biggest NFL story of the week.

Starting off in the AFC West, the guys talk about how the Denver Broncos trade for Russell Wilson came together & the west coast arms race that led the Los Angeles Chargers to trade for Khalil Mack a few days later. But can either team dethrone Kansas City?In the NFC, the Washington Commanders traded for former Colts QB Carson Wentz in a mostly head-scratching move as Wentz has been one of the most frustrating players in football the last few seasons. The guys talk about the lack of a trade market for Wentz & what Indianapolis does next now that they've re-entered the QB wilderness.Finally, Charles & Frank talk about some of the big free agents who will look to be signed by new teams next week including Allen Robinson, Bobby Wagner, Terron Armstead, J.C.

Combine Takeaways, Part II: Thibodeaux falling, Georgia's D-Line, OT debate & Kenny Pickett vs. Malik Willis
Charles Robinson & Eric Edholm wrap up their thoughts from the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis after a weekend full of insane 40-yard dashes, skipped 3-cone drills & forgone bench presses.Before they get into any of the incoming rookie evaluations from Lucas Oil Stadium, Charles & Eric open the podcast reflecting on the reports that the Dallas Cowboys are likely to release star WR Amari Cooper at the start of the league season. Charles explains how the Cowboys' cap situation led to this and why this likely means Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz are staying in Big D.Diving into the combine, Eric talks about some mishaps behind the scenes that caused the RB group to miss a few drills & why this may or may not be the final combine in Indianapolis. (10:45)Later, Eric & Charles talk about Jordan Davis and the insane Georgia Bulldogs defensive line making an impact at this year's combine & the three offensive tackles at the top of most draft boards: Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu and Charles Cross.

Tanking, fraud, racism, sexual harassment: NFL's very bad Super Bowl bye week
In under a week and a half, the NFL will crown its next Super Bowl champion in the Cincinnati Bengals or the Los Angeles Rams, what should be a celebratory occasion marking the end of another successful season. In the meantime, the NFL is mired in one of its worst PR disasters in recent memory.Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel and Liz Loza onto the podcast to discuss the week's two largest stories, where allegations of racism, fraud & sexual harassment serve as a painful reminder of the league's historical inability to generate meaningful positive change around these issues.First, the crew dials in on the Washington Commanders, whose nominal refresh on Wednesday was thoroughly overshadowed on Thursday by new allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct and a congressional hearing on the franchises countless abuses. (8:00)Later, Charles, Dan & Liz dive into former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores filing a class action suit against the league and multiple teams alleging discriminatory hiring practices and competition-underming fraud on the part of owner Stephen Ross. The suit opens a can of worms for the team that could cost the league millions and may even force the likes of Ross and other owners to sell off their teams. (23:00)If you can believe it, Tom Brady also retired this week. I know, it feels like it was a month ago. The group chats about what's next from an on-field perspective with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and why the team may look very different in 2022 and beyond.

Black Monday postmortem, rookie head coach rankings & Wild Card weekend preview
Black Monday wasn't quite Black Monday this year — mostly because it extended from Sunday to Tuesday. The Denver Broncos fired Vic Fangio before most of the rest of the league even kicked off on Week 18, and after waffling for an extra day, the New York Giants parted ways with Joe Judge in a surprisingly unsurprising move on Tuesday. Between then, the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings & Chicago Bears also relieved Brian Flores, Mike Zimmer & Matt Nagy of their respective services.After kicking off the podcast chatting about what drove the highest ratings for the NFL in a half-decade, Charles Robinson & Yahoo's Dan Wetzel deep dive into the five major head coach roles that opened up this week and what fans could expect next. Why the surprising move out of Miami? Will Minnesota be a coveted job, or is Kirk Cousins radioactive? Which current coordinator is the leader in the clubhouse for the Broncos job? (19:40)Next, Charles & Dan take a listener question and rank the performance of 2021's slate of rookie head coaches. Now, obviously Urban Meyer is last in that line, but we promise, the results will surprise you. (53:35)Finally, the guys look ahead to this weekend's slate of Wild Card games and preview Raiders/Bengals, Patriots/Bills, Eagles/Buccaneers, 49ers/Cowboys, Steelers/Chiefs & Cardinals/Rams.

The end of the NFL regular season brings two major topics: playoffs and awards.

(17:05)Next, Charles & Shalise revisit Sunday's drama surrounding Antonio Brown. They discuss the likely reasons he has not yet been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers & why AB deserves more scrutiny than other athletes who step away due to mental health issues.

The most surprising moment of the 2021 season happened on January 2nd, 2022. In the middle of the third quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' come-from-behind win over the New York Jets, Antonio Brown removed his shoulder pads, threw his undershirt into the crowd, jumped up and down in the end zone and ran off into the locker room, for what may be his last time ever as a professional football player.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off this Sunday night podcast reacting to the bizarre events in New York, Brown's expulsion from the team and how a history of erratic behavior from AB culminated in one of the year's craziest images.Charles & Frank recap everything from Week 17 including the state of the playoff race, Green Bay securing the top seed in the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals bouncing back against the Dallas Cowboys, Ja'Marr Chase's resurgence into the offensive rookie of the year race and if Minnesota should look to offload Kirk Cousins this offseason.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Steelers' future after Big Ben, RIP John Madden & the Jaguars' head coaching search
The NFL world lost a giant on Tuesday when John Madden passed away at the age of 85. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Eric Edholm and they open the podcast remembering the legendary figure who revolutionized coaching, broadcasting and video games.Next, Charles & Eric react to Ben Roethlisberger's quotes on Thursday that Sunday would likely be his final home game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The guys talk about Big Ben's legacy and what the Steelers should do at quarterback next season: pursue a veteran like Russell Wilson or draft a capable pro-ready rookie along the lines of Mac Jones? (17:45)Afterwards, Charles breaks down the Jacksonville Jaguars' search for the next head coach. Interviews have already started this week with many familiar names in contention for the job, like Doug Pederson, Jim Caldwell and Byron Leftwich. Charles explains why Dallas Cowboys' DC Dan Quinn was initially pursued by the Jags but ultimately declined the offer to interview. (29:40)To wrap up the show, the guys talk about which NFL losing rosters seem only a few precious pieces away from contention, why Kayvon Thibodeaux and Aidan Hutchinson are a tier of two atop the 2022 NFL draft & the NFL's change to COVID procedures as the regular season draws to a close.

Week 16 Sunday Night Freestyle: Be afraid, be very afraid of the Chiefs and Cowboys
Is 56-14 an emphatic enough win for the Dallas Cowboys over the Washington Football Team? Yeah, probably. With the offense and defense firing on all cylinders, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab open the Sunday night podcast asking: is there a scarier team in the NFL right now than Dallas?Some other contenders may be the Cincinnati Bengals, who were lifted to a 20-point win over the division rival Baltimore Ravens thanks to Joe Burrow's 525 passing yards, or the Kansas City Chiefs, who drubbed a defensively-minded Pittsburgh Steelers team 36-10.Charles & Frank recap all of the games from Week 16, including a baffling loss from the Los Angeles Chargers, an impressive flag-planting win from the Buffalo Bills and a Cleveland Browns loss that has to be inspiring questions about Baker Mayfield's future in Ohio.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Playoff confidence index, AFC North buzzsaw & what's happening in the MVP race
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss on Sunday Night Football three days ago feels like it took place last month, mainly because there have been FOUR NFL games since then. And if we didn't already get our Christmas wish, get ready, there's more Thursday, Saturday and Monday night football to come.After discussing the state of the MVP race, Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo NFL editor Joey Gulino to the podcast to recap the quartet of weeknight games we've had since Sunday – another loss for Russell Wilson's Seahawks, the encouraging Eagles hovering around .500 and more disappointment for the Browns and Bears.Sticking with the Browns, Charles & Joey dive into the razor thin margins of the AFC North. With only three weeks left to go in the regular season, each team is still capable of either winning the division or missing the playoffs completely. The guys break down how they think it will shake out for the Browns, Ravens, Bengals and Steelers in the season's final weeks. (34:00)In the latter third of the show, Charles & Joey kick off their first "belief index" heading into the playoffs. Which five teams are they most confident could pull off a Super Bowl run? Sure conference-leading teams like the Chiefs and Packers lead that squad, but what other dark horse candidates do they consider trustworthy?

Week 15 Sunday Night Freestyle: Down go the top seeds in NFL's most frustrating weekend
The last 5 days in the NFL have been wild. Top-seeded Arizona, Tennessee, New England and Tampa Bay all took losses of various magnitudes, shaking up the playoff picture. Shaking up the schedule picture, the NFL postponed three games into Monday and Tuesday as COVID diagnoses obliterate rosters. Oh, and Urban Meyer got fired.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab pick up the Sunday night podcast trying to recap the wild weekend that was in the NFL. Was Detroit's win bad for both the Lions and the Cardinals? Has Aaron Rodgers entered into pole position in the MVP race? Did New Orleans defensive coordinator Dennis Allen propel himself into getting hired as a head coach later this winter?Charles & Frank discuss all those things and more from Indianapolis' bracket-busting Saturday night win to Tampa Bay's stunning Sunday night loss.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Urban Meyer implosion & best soon-to-be available NFL coaching jobs
Things continue to not look great for Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer. His team is 2-11, his press conferences have and increasingly frosty, yet defeated attitude and the man can't even muster a proper hand-shake for opposing head coaches. The drumbeat grows ever stronger that, despite the financial implications for owner Shahid Kahn, Urban may be a one-and-done NFL head coach.To weigh in on the state of Urban, Charles Robinson welcomes none other than College Football Enquirer hosts Dan Wetzel & Pat Forde. Later, they discuss a number potentially soon-to-be open head coaching jobs and which the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears, New York Giants or Minnesota Vikings would be most appealing to an incoming HC.Later, they chat a bit about the incoming rookie class of 2022, a pair of QBs to look at in the class of 2023 and if Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is the long lost third Bosa brother.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Week 14 Sunday Night Freestyle: Aaron Rodgers, Bears co-owner, leads a Sunday of OTs and blowouts
In the immortal words of Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were!" You could apply that to just about every team in Week 14? The Green Bay Packers? They whalloped the Chicago Bears. That's what they do. The Kansas City Chiefs? Smoked the Las Vegas Raiders. That's who we thought they were. Even the Buffalo Bills in a dramatic overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing valiantly on the back of a monstrous Josh Allen performance but ultimately falling short — that's who they are.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab recap this chalky week of NFL action where, for the most part, the teams we expected to win took their Ws in emphatic fashion. From Aaron Rodgers' MVP-like ownage of the Bears to the Denver Broncos emotional tribute to the late Demaryius Thomas, Charles & Frank hit every game in the Week 14 slate.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

But that was the New England Patriots on Monday night football, securing a half game lead for the AFC's top seed with only five weeks left in the 2021 NFL season.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo Sports managing editor Al Toby to talk about the Patriots odd MNF win, why there's still some cause for Mac Jones hesitancy and if the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens have records inflated by shoddy wins.Later in the podcast, Charles & Al discuss the current state of the NFL playoff picture, and discuss teams in various states of disarray like the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants & Houston Texans as the season comes to a close.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Can we trust any of the NFL's contenders to go on a Super Bowl run?
The last few weeks of the 2021 NFL season have been...interesting. Heavy Super Bowl favorites like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys & Buffalo Bills have all suffered embarrassing losses to marginal teams. That doesn't even get into the confounding Kansas City Chiefs who, after two straight Super Bowl appearances, have spent much of the year hovering just under .500 while QB Patrick Mahomes has looked merely mortal.Now, someone has to win the Super Bowl this February. So who will it be?Charles Robinson is joined by 12-year NFL vet and host of Upsets & Underdogs, Will Blackmon, for a conversation about just that. With 8-2 serving as the best record in the league, are any of the contenders in the AFC or NFC on the precipice of a 2020 Buccaneers-like run?Charles & Will also talk about the Carolina Panthers feeding off the electricity of the Cam Newton signing, why things are looking dire for Russell Wilson & the Seattle Seahawks and finally, they preview a handful of games heading into Week 11 including a juicy possible Super Bowl matchup between the Chiefs & Cowboys.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Washington Football Team star edge rusher Chase Young also calls in for five minutes to give his thoughts on the taunting penalty, WFT's upcoming name change & his work with USAA in honor of Veteran's Day this Thursday.Later in the podcast, Charles & Dan chat about Odell Beckham, Jr. clearing waivers and what, if anything, he could bring to a contender this year as a free agent before undoubtedly seeking free agency again this spring. They also dive into Aaron Rodgers' wild two appearances on The Pat McAfee Show and why now, after Jordan Love's performance in Kansas City on Sunday, Rodgers has more leverage over the Green Bay Packers than ever.In the second half of the show, the guys hand out their mid-season awards to the most deserving individual performances in the first half of 2021.

Aaron Rodgers' sneaky vaccine untruth, Von Miller's trade, OBJ's unlikely future in Cleveland & more
The last 72 hours have moved at light speed in the NFL. Since we last released a podcast, there was a barrage of massive stories around the world of football. As always, the trade deadline itself went out with a whimper, but not before a blockbuster trade sending Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday.What else happened? Derrick Henry underwent surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot and will likely miss at least the remainder of the regular season. Michael Thomas announced he would not be returning this season to the New Orleans Saints due to a setback with his surgically repaired ankle. Odell Beckham, Jr. wants out of Cleveland (and LeBron James wants him out too). In Las Vegas, Henry Ruggs III was tragically involved in a deadly car accident and was subsequently arrested by the authorities and released by his team.Oh, and Aaron Rodgers contracted COVID after potentially misleading the public as to whether he was vaccinated and is certain to miss Sunday's massive game against the Kansas City Chiefs.Needless to say, a lot has happened.

A story broke on Wednesday that may have gone under-the-radar for most NFL fans, but has the potential to snowball into the largest story of the year. ESPN's Seth Wickersham reported that emotions reportedly ran high during a closed-door meeting of the NFL's owners on Tuesday. Los Angeles Ram's owner Stan Kroenke made it clear he no longer plans to cover the other owners' legal fees as the league is currently embroiled in a legal battle over the Rams relocation from St. Louis to L.A.Needless to say, when tens of millions, if not billions, of dollars are at stake – it did not go over well.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo Sports' managing editor Al Toby to dive into this bombshell news and rare glimpse into how the NFL's cabal of 31 owners behave when doors are closed. They discuss why an all-out legal war between NFL ownership could be unprecedented & how ownership fractures are beginning to form around the Washington Football Team's continued legal woes.Later, they circle back to the latest on Deshaun Watson's status with the Houston Texans. With trade terms reportedly agreed upon with the Miami Dolphins – there's still one thing preventing the two sides from executing the deal.In other news, Mike Tomlin recently delivered an epic press conference, shutting down rumors that he's a contender for the open job at USC. The guys break down why Tomlin is 100% right and 1000% not going to college.To close out the show, Charles & Al preview three games heading into Week 8, the COVID-diminished Green Bay Packers taking on the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, an AFC South tilt between the surging Indianapolis Colts & Tennessee Titans and Sunday night's Halloween matchup between the Dallas Cowboys & Minnesota Vikings.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Baker & Lamar at contract crossroads, AFC's power vacuum & trade deadline buyers/sellers
Baker Mayfield & Lamar Jackson, the first and last picks of the 2018 NFL draft, are at a crossroads. A handful of games into their fourth season, Mayfield has a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder and is expected to miss at least a week in what may be a lost season for both the young QB and his franchise. Jackson, on the other hand, has been electric and his Baltimore Ravens are 5-1, in pole position for AFC's top seed in the playoffs.Charles Robinson is joined this week by Eric Edholm & they kick off the podcast discussing how Baker & Lamar are trending in opposite directions as both of their teams weigh whether or not to give them a contract extension this upcoming offseason.Spinning off that, the guys chat about Monday night's surprising Titans win over the Buffalo Bills, the surprisingly 4-2 Cincinnati Bengals and a wide open AFC that, if the season ended today, would shockingly see the Kansas City Chiefs out of playoff contention.In the second half of the podcast, Charles & Eric predict a few teams who may be buyers or sellers at November's trade deadline. Should the Packers and Cowboys try to bolster their defenses in anticipation of a Super Bowl run? When should the Seattle Seahawks call it quits on a season without Russell Wilson & trade away some players for future assets?Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Neither performed well in 2020, so maybe 2021 was just more smoke & mirrors from these two NFC squads. Well, after exciting & impressive wins over the New England Patriots & Cleveland Browns, it may be fair to call these teams legit Super Bowl contenders.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the podcast reacting to Pittsburgh's OT win over Seattle, they dive into Dallas & Arizona's continued success & share their thoughts on the rest of Sunday's Week 6 action.

Gruden's emails, an impending NFL legal disaster & 3 teams we're worried about
Everyone knows the headline by now. On Monday evening, after a plethora of disgusting & offensive emails were leaked, first by the Wall Street Journal, and later by the New York Times, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden abruptly resigned, likely never to hold a significant position in or around the NFL ever again.Charles Robinson is joined by NBC's Michael Smith to discuss the aftermath of this seismic blow to one of the league's most storied franchises and iconic coaches. A few questions still linger: if the Raiders received these emails on Friday, why was this information sat on until the Times leaked it? What league figures could be implicated in future leaks?Charles & Michael discuss those issues as well as one more: why the NFL should be scared about how these email leaks may play into its ongoing legal troubles in St. Louis & Oakland after the Rams & Raiders respectively left town.Later in the show, the guys talk about ESPN adding a wild card game to their Monday Night Football slate & Michael's unhealthy Madden obsession.In the second half, Charles & Michael break down the three teams they're worried about most in the NFL & as well as the one NFC team every other squad should be afraid of in January.

The second lightning storm in the AFC West this week wasn't going to stop the Buffalo Bills from claiming pole position for the 1-seed. The Bills came into Arrowhead, where they were defeated last January and put a number on the Kansas City Chiefs and made the case that they are the best team in not only the AFC, but perhaps the league.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to all of the games from Sunday's Week 5 action including the aforementioned Bills/Chiefs rematch, a nail biting Green Bay Packers win over a surprisingly resilient Cincinnati Bengals team, an epic Browns/Chargers duel and an Atlanta Falcons win in London that saw the Dirty Birds finally unlock rookie TE Kyle Pitts.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Urban Meyer's folly delights league & the impact of the Stephon Gilmore trade
By now, we've all seen the video of Urban Meyer getting cozy with a woman at his bar in Ohio, the night after his Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's not great. Even worse, Meyer spent the following days sheepishly apologizing for his behavior, invoking his grandchildren, making comparisons to Trevor Lawrence's bachelor party. Overall, it was not a good look — and the 31 other teams in the NFL absolutely loved it.Charles Robinson is joined by none other than Yahoo's Dan Wetzel this week to break down why this is such an unforced embarrassment by the football's king of moralizing: Urban Meyer.Later in the podcast, Charles & Dan react to the Wednesday morning news of the New England Patriots sending former defensive player of the year Stephon Gilmore to the Carolina Panthers, who are clearly going all-in on an already stout defense. They also discuss the Dallas Cowboys parting ways with linebacker Jaylon Smith.To wrap up the show, the guys preview the Buffalo Bills & Kansas City Chiefs facing off in an AFC championship rematch, a battle between two up-and-coming teams in the Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland Browns and if the Arizona Cardinals can pull off their fifth win of the season against the San Francisco 49ers.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

News flash: Tom Brady is returning to Foxboro this week. Maybe you've heard about it. In light of the NFL's game of the week and a revealing new book from Seth Wickersham on the rise and fall of the Kraft/Brady/Belichick era, Charles Robinson welcomes Boston native Pete Thamel onto the podcast this week to react to the book's outlandish stories and preview the weekend's Bucs/Pats game.Later in the show, we lean on Pete's expertise in the college landscape to answer three major questions: why are all of this year's freshman QBs struggling? Looking ahead to next year, who are the college QBs NFL fans should be keeping an eye on before the April 2022 draft?

What Aaron Rodgers gets right and wrong about his critics & why Bezos should own a London NFL franchise
After an embarrassing Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Aaron Rodgers had his critics. He was soft after a summer of vacationing with movie stars and hosting Jeopardy! He looked uninterested on the sidelines! His man-bun was a symbol of his waning manliness and interest in football!Rodgers had some thoughts for his detractors after a solid eighteen-point win over the Lions on Monday night. Charles Robinson welcomes Dan Wetzel onto the podcast this week to talk about why Rodgers is and isn't right to call his critics, "chickens**t," and the precarious state of the athlete-media relationship.Later in the show, Charles & Dan chat about Tom Brady's upcoming trip to Foxboro, Mass. as the Buccaneers face Brady's old Patriots in a week and a half. Could Brady have won a Super Bowl with this iteration of a Patriots roster? Would New England fans trade a still effective Brady for the next 15 years of Mac Jones' career?In the latter half of the episode, Charles answers a pair of questions about NFL ownership. First, what's the latest on the lawsuit between the city of St. Louis and the NFL regarding the relocation of the Rams? Could this sway future teams from changing cities?After that, rumors of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos being interested in purchasing the Denver Broncos turns into an amazing hypothesis: Bezos would be the perfect owner for an NFL London expansion franchise.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Urban Meyer, Bill Belichick & why NFL coaches have no choice but to lie about cutting players due to vaccine status
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer did an amazing thing Tuesday. Something he almost never does. He told the truth. Meyer revealed that cutting players due to their vaccination status against COVID-19 was, "certainly in consideration."Meanwhile, all the way up the eastern seaboard, Cam Newton was released from New England the same day. One can't help but wonder if his vaccination status played into the team's decision to part ways, especially after COVID protocols kept him away from his squad for five days last week.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Dan Wetzel to talk about the NFL's tenuous situation as teams finalized their 53-man rosters this week. Are coaches taking vaccine status into consideration? Absolutely. Are they being forced to lie about it? You bet.Charles & Dan also discuss the New Orleans Saints being forced away from their home state for the month of September due to Hurricane Ida, the latest on potential Deshaun Watson trade suitors, the Bishop Sycamore debacle and more.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Why the Patriots' COVID snafu could cost Cam Newton his job
After a "misunderstanding" led New England Patriots QB Cam Newton out of the league's structured COVID testing protocols, the former league MVP has been sidelined all week, opening the door for rookie Mac Jones to get first team reps at a pivotal week in training camp. Meanwhile in Dallas, owner Jerry Jones continues to be a vocal proponent of vaccines and even joked on Tuesday night's Hard Knocks, "I've had more shots than a cocker spaniel."Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo columnist Shalise Manza Young to talk about the state of the league's COVID efforts from a player perspective & a business perspective, especially as it relates to the New England Patriots & Cam Newton. They also react to Tuesday morning's trade of former first-rounder Sony Michel to the Los Angeles Rams.Later in the podcast, Charles & Shalise have a discussion about the importance of language when discussing player movement, hold-outs and contracts; why the word, "earned" means so much and is rarely considered in the media.They close out the episode checking in on the rocky August for the Jacksonville Jaguars, their underwhelming offensive effort in two preseason games, the season-ending injury to Travis Etienne and why it took so long for coach Urban Meyer to finally name first overall pick Trevor Lawrence the starting QB.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

How will taunting penalties & fan vaccine mandates affect the season? Plus reactions from Bears, Colts & Dolphins camps
Two major policy edicts are poised to drastically change the fan experience both on the field and off this NFL season. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Eric Edholm to dive into a breadth of topics from around the league, including the major question marks surrounding the NFL's new focus on taunting penalties and a pair of NFL teams issuing strict rules regarding entry to their stadiums.Before they get to those topics, Charles & Eric open the show on the latest news surrounding Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson. They also remark at how quickly former first round QB Josh Rosen appears to have flamed out of the league, following being cut earlier in the week by the San Francisco 49ers.Later, Charles explains why the league's new emphasis on taunting penalties is not-so-secretly aimed at Tyreek Hill's celebrations from last season. (15:45)The guys investigate news that the New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders will require fans in attendance to show proof of COVID vaccination or a negative COVID test. (26:25)Eric then shares his insights after visiting Bears-Dolphins and Colts-Panthers joint practices. When will Justin Fields take the QB1 job from Andy Dalton? Could the Fins' offensive line slow Tua Tagovailoa's progress? Is Sam Ehlinger really a possibility to start the season if Wentz is still recovering from foot surgery? (36:50)Finally, the guys close out the show discussing a tepid second episode of Hard Knocks, followed by the news that the Jaguars and Urban Meyer parted with Tim Tebow.

What does the Josh Allen extension mean for Baker Mayfield and the Browns? Plus dispatches from Eagles, Jets & Panthers camps
You know football is around the corner when the dulcet tones of Liev Schreiber and Hard Knocks grace our television screens once again. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Jay Busbee for a conversation about a number of league topics, the first and foremost being Jerry Jones' sodium intake, Dak Prescott's ire at his early-camp shoulder strain, Austin Powers references and the rest of the action from episode one of this season's Hard Knocks (5:45).Next, Charles & Jay talk about the latest on Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson, and why the team isn't looking to trade him presently as they've only received low-ball offers from the rest of the league (13:00).Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen inked a 6-year extension with the team, paying him roughly $43 million per year. Charles breaks down what this means for the two other major QBs in the 2018 draft class, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson, and why the Browns have a lot to think about before signing the former first overall pick to a similarly lofty deal (21:00).In the second half of the podcast, Charles talks about his major takeaways after spending time in training camp with the Cleveland Browns (32:30), New York Jets (40:15), Philadelphia Eagles (49:15) and Carolina Panthers (55:20).Finally, the guys close out the show discussing Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame acceptance speech and why The Sheriff could be on the shortlist to replace Roger Goodell as league commissioner in the late 2020s (1:06:30).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Ticking clock on a Deshaun Watson trade & thoughts from Rams, 49ers and Broncos camps
As Charles Robinson traverses the country visiting training camps, there's been one question every general manager has been asking him: What's going on with Deshaun Watson? You know we're in uncharted territory when even high-powered NFL GMs don't know what's going to happen next.Charles is joined by Yahoo's Frank Schwab this week to discuss the offseason's biggest lingering question: what are the Texans going to do with Deshaun Watson? Can we realistically expect him to be traded before the start of the season? What sort of haul could the Texans expect at this point? One thing's for certain: the NFL has not seen a situation like this before.Later in the show, Charles & Frank talk about Carson Wentz' foot injury and how quickly the Indianapolis Colts' 2021 season went from one full of optimism to one teetering on the verge of total collapse before a single game has been played. (21:00)In the second half of the podcast, Charles talks about the three training camps he's visited in the past week:Do the Los Angeles Rams feel like they're about to make a return visit to the Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford under center, even after the catastrophic loss of Cam Akers? (27:20)A quarterback battle is brewing with the San Francisco 49ers between Jimmy Garoppolo and third-overall pick Trey Lance? Which does Charles expect to win the job? (42:00)The Denver Broncos may have the strongest roster in the league...at every position except quarterback. How can new GM George Paton overcome this obstacle and is time running out for head coach Vic Fangio?

Rodgers' last dance, NFL's vaccine measures & 5 key impressions from Cowboys camp
On Friday, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams both posted the same cryptic image on their Instagram accounts – a screenshot of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen from The Last Dance – prompting another round of paranoia in Wisconsin. Will this season be Rodgers' last dance?Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Eric Edholm to discuss the latest drama in the summer-long Aaron Rodgers soap opera as many wonder whether the reigning MVP will arrive to the start of Green Bay Packers training camp this week.The other star QB who has commanded headlines all offseason is Houston Texans passer Deshaun Watson. Charles explains why Watson arriving to camp — regardless of his guilt or innocence in the crimes alleged against him — is a positive thing for him and why this forces the Texans' hand to potentially trade him soon. (17:45)In the second half of the show, Eric & Charles discuss the latest from Dallas Cowboys training camp, where Jerry Jones has been surprisingly vocal about getting his team fully vaccinated. Charles also outlines 5 takeaways he noticed with the team in Oxnard, California: from how Dak looked taking his first snaps to potentially growing frustrations with Amari Cooper.

Super Bowl 55 Recap: Did Tom Brady & the Buccaneers just expose the Kansas City Chiefs?
Super Bowl LV is in the books and it wasn't the result anyone was expecting. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers routed the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in a completely lopsided result. Patrick Mahomes couldn't get anything going despite making some of the most impressive throws of his career. Kansas City became the third team ever not to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile Tom Brady was efficient on a play-action heavy script & the Tampa defense absolutely smothered one of the league's top five offenses.Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor recap the game from all angles, from Byron Leftwich & Todd Bowles' exemplary coordinating jobs that will surely land them on the head coach interview circuit next year to what the Kansas City Chiefs need to do in the offseason to prevent repeat embarrassment.Later in the show, the guys talk about the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame class and the Eagles reportedly being close to a deal to trade away former second overall pick Carson Wentz.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Unpacking the Rams trade for Stafford & Super Bowl 55 mailbag
Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the first half of this podcast discussing the Los Angeles Rams sending Jared Goff, along with three future draft picks to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford. A few major questions arise: If the Rams don't immediately improve with Stafford, could Sean McVay face some pressure? If Jared Goff turns his career around, don't the Lions stand to win the most with a new franchise QB and multiple first round draft picks? If a QB, two firsts and a third-round pick were the price for Stafford, what on Earth will be the Houston Texans' asking price for Deshaun Watson?In the second half of the show, Charles & Terez open up the mailbag and answer questions about the rookie head coach most likely to succeed in 2021, the playoff team most likely to regress next season, what the Arizona Cardinals need to do to help Kyler Murray, and which defense faces the toughest challenge in this Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Texans hire David Culley, what's next for Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions?
The Houston Texans became the seventh and final team to hire a new head coach this offseason, with the reported acquisition of Baltimore Ravens assistant coach David Culley. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the podcast discussing how this came to be, who Culley is & what this means for Deshaun Watson. After 12 seasons, former first overall pick Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions have reportedly agreed to part ways via a trade this offseason. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson investigate what's next and the intriguing roster of teams that could be interested in the high-volume passer. Stafford's future isn't the only thing in question too, as Detroit completely rebuilds their front office and coaching staff, Terez & Charles worry that the team's too many cooks approach may bring them perilously close to 1-15 or 2-14 territory in the coming years. (16:30)Later in the show, our experts break down the market for Super Bowl LV tickets in Tampa Bay, where it will cost upwards of $8,000 just to get in the door of the highly reduced-capacity Raymond James Stadium. (39:35)Finally, the guys close out the show answering listener questions about Dwayne Haskins' potential with the Pittsburgh Steelers & how the Los Angeles Chargers are building their new coaching staff under Brandon Staley.

Could Rodgers really force a trade this offseason? Transitioning to the AFC title game, our experts break down what a second Super Bowl win would do for Patrick Mahomes' legacy, if the likes of Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Tyrann Mathieu & Chris Jones are destined for a Hall of Fame enshrinement and where the Buffalo Bills should go after their disappointing loss.Stay tuned for a special month of LIVE episodes of the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast, streaming every Monday through the Super Bowl at 1pm EST/10am PST on the Yahoo Sports YouTube, Twitter, Twitch & Facebook pages.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The mind-blowing prospect of a Watson-for-Tua trade, plus divisional round preview

Week 17 Sunday Night Freestyle: Philly gifts Washington the NFC East – what was that?
On the final Sunday night of the 2020 regular season, to the horror of nearly every NFL fan (particularly a large portion of the ones in the New York city area), the Philadelphia Eagles pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts in favor of backup Nate Sudfeld for no clear reason, gifting in the process, a division championship to their rivals the Washington Football Team.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open on this embarrassing episode and what galaxy-brained strategy head coach Doug Pederson could have been employing.Our experts recap all 16 games from Sunday's schedule including the wild finishes between the Texans and Titans, Browns and Steelers and the utter beat-downs carried out by the Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 17 Preview: What's next for Dwayne Haskins & who will win the NFC East?
When Charles Robinson said on the most recent episode of this podcast, "that's it, it's over," in regards to Washington QB Dwayne Haskins, he didn't think the team would waive him 12 hours later. But that's what happened.Charles & Terez Paylor kick off this episode of the podcast breaking down the simultaneously shocking, yet not surprising news that the former first rounder was released by the Washington Football Team on Monday. What's next for the former Ohio State star? And what do our experts think of ESPN's Booger McFarland's comments calling out young Black athletes in response to Haskins' dismissal? (2:05)The departure of Haskins from Washington and the potential departure of Carson Wentz just up the road in Philadelphia inspire a conversation about contract extensions for young quarterbacks. With new deals for QBs heading into their fourth year being all the rage, should Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson receive extensions this offseason? (18:50)Week 17 is just around the corner and we can't wrap up the 2020 regular season without one more segment of NFC East talk. With the division title still up for grabs for all but one of these squads, what are Charles & Terez looking for as the Washington Football Team takes on the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys travel to the New York Giants? (35:50)Our experts close out the podcast discussing some of the other playoff scenarios in the AFC & NFC as Derrick Henry looks to notch a 2,000 yard season, Aaron Rodgers hopes to win a third MVP and a pair of battered NFC West teams in the Rams and Cardinals fight for a wild card spot.

Week 16 Sunday Night Freestyle: With one week left, did Aaron Rodgers just take the lead in MVP race?
With just one week left of 2020 NFL regular season games remaining, the coveted MVP award that was, at one point, clearly destined for Russell Wilson, and at another, evidently Patrick Mahomes' for the taking, appears to have changed hands for perhaps one last time. The Green Bay Packers dealt the Tennessee Titans a decisive 40-14 loss on Sunday night, and in doing so, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw 4 TDs in another stellar performance. Where does the MVP race stand at the season's final leg? Do the Chicago Bears owe Mitchell Trubisky another shot in 2021? How do the Dallas Cowboys, who are potentially one win away from the most unlikely playoff berth ever, avoid "the velvet rut?"Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson address all those questions and the league's major storylines, recapping all fifteen games from this weekend's action.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 16 Preview: What's wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers?
After an 11-0 start, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked Super Bowl-bound and people around the league questioned whether 16-0 was in play? Three weeks later, the situation is very different. Having lost to the Washington Football Team, Buffalo Bills and, on Monday night, the lowly Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers appear in free-fall. What doesn’t help matters is their Week 16 opponents are the Indianapolis Colts who boast the league’s best defense.After briefly touching on the San Francisco 49ers acquiring former tenth overall pick Josh Rosen from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the podcast trying to diagnose: what’s wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers? When the culprits are an aging Ben Roethlisberger, an ineffective offensive line, a defense worn thin by key injuries, the blame can be spread everywhere. JuJu Smith-Schuster losing a fumble after dancing on the Bengals logo for a TikTok video certainly doesn’t help either. (4:10)Later, Terez drops the audio of an interview he conducted earlier in the week with former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson (née Ochocinco) where they talk about the state of touchdown celebrations and Chad reveals his rankings of the best wideouts of all time (spoiler: Jerry Rice is third). (15:45)In the second half of the podcast, Charles & Terez discuss two disappointing stories coming from the Washington Football Team. First, Charles sheds light on team paying out $1.6 million to settle a sexual misconduct claim about owner Dan Snyder and how this is potentially the tip of the iceberg in regards to damaging nondisclosure agreements. Afterwards, they talk about Dwayne Haskins being spotted, mask-less, at a strip club following Washington’s loss on Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks. (34:00)Wrapping up the podcast, the guys preview two Week 16 matchups as the Los Angeles Rams hope to bounce back in Seattle after their embarrassing loss to the New York Jets; and the Tennessee Titans travel to the Green Bay Packers as Aaron Rodgers and Derrick Henry attempt to make their MVP case.

Week 15 Sunday Night Freestyle: Catastrophic win for the New York Jets
The New York Jets had one simple job: keep losing games. Unfortunately for scores of Jets fans, the team that’s tortured them for decades continued to twist the knife of dramatic irony. In a stunning upset, the Jets beat the Los Angeles Rams 23-20 and effectively handed control of the number one pick in this April’s draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the show breaking down the implications of this wild result, how it potentially changes the fate of Trevor Lawrence and how this win serves as Adam Gase’s cruel parting shot to the franchise and its fans that’ve been waiting to jettison him all season.The guys recap all of the games from Week 15 including the loss that handed the New England Patriots their first losing season in 20 years, the astonishing duel between Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray, Tom Brady’s latest comeback against the poor Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland’s tenth win and more.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Before looking ahead to a slate of impactful Week 15 games, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off their mid-week podcast looking back to Monday night and what many consider to be the game of the year between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. Between Lamar’s magical comeback in the game’s final moments and the undeniable poise and growth shown by Baker Mayfield, how could you not be excited about where these teams are going for years to come?Later in the show, Charles & Terez run through a number of league-wide stories including the chances that players may receive the coronavirus vaccine before the Super Bowl, the effect of game postponements on the league’s broadcast partners and the likelihood that the NFL will officially ratify plans to expand the season to 17 games in the very near future.

Week 14 Preview: Jalen Hurts' first start in Philly, Jim Harbaugh's NFL chances and more
To the dismay (or joy) of Philadelphia Eagles fans, rookie QB Jalen Hurts is making his first NFL start this weekend as the New Orleans Saints travel to town. Terez Paylor is joined by Yahoo Sports senior college football writer Pete Thamel as well as Yahoo Sports' lead draft analyst Eric Edholm to talk about Hurts' interesting college career and what to expect out of his first professional start. (4:30)Later, Pete gives the latest on the sad tale of Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan.

Aside from Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, what names should NFL fans start paying attention to? Will the Cincinnati Bengals draft some protection for Joe Burrow?

The New York Giants took the prize for the most surprising outcome of Week 13 with their late-afternoon road win in Seattle.

Week 13 Preview: Wednesday Afternoon Football feels strange, NFL preps for a COVID playoffs, Wentz continues decline & more
There's truly nothing like that early-December tradition all Americans know and love: Wednesday afternoon football. The thrice-delayed second meeting of the Pittsburgh Steelers & Baltimore Ravens finally occurred on an extremely-rare Wednesday afternoon and the end results were mixed: the Steelers came away with a win in what was ultimately an ugly game for the virus-stricken Ravens.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the show discussing the W.A.F. game as well as a few lingering COVID questions the league is dealing with: if there is a vaccine readily available within the next month, will the players have access to it soon? In what scenario will the NFL break the 'in case of emergency' Week 18 glass? Will playoff teams enter an NBA-style playoff bubble?Later in the podcast, they discuss another disappointing loss for the Philadelphia Eagles. What's wrong with Philly & their former MVP-caliber QB Carson Wentz? What happened in the Eagles' 2020 draft war room that almost yielded them both an Offensive Rookie of the Year and a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate? (20:55)A listener writes in discussing possible landing spots for Detroit Lions QB Matt Stafford, who may be on the trade block after the team fired its coach and GM on Sunday. Could the Browns, Broncos or Bears deal for the former first overall pick?

In Week 10, that conventional wisdom was usurped by another breathtaking play involving the Arizona Cardinals.This time, with mere seconds left, down four, Kyler Murray threw up a 43-yard Hail Mary to DeAndre Hopkins that was miraculously pulled down and secured by the receiver Arizona had only traded for at the beginning of the year.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open their Week 10 recap podcast discussing this astonishing play and how it leads to a must-win Thursday night rematch between Arizona & Seattle on Thursday night, where control of the NFC West is at stake.Our experts recap all of the games from the weekend including Baltimore’s frustrating loss to New England, Miami winning its fourth straight game and the Philadelphia Eagles being on the verge of a total implosion, despite retaining a lead of the putrid NFC East.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The 2020 NFL regular season is just over halfway done, and despite ballooning COVID cases both in the league and nationally, it appears as if we'll get something resembling a complete season. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open their mid-week podcast discussing the recently agreed-upon plans from the NFL's owners to institute a 16-team playoff field in the case that regular season games are cancelled. Would Kansas City/Miami be of interest to anyone? Or what about New Orleans/Arizona? Our hosts break down the two conference playoff seedings as they stand today while the league still combats the coronavirus and even stars like Aaron Rodgers question the NFL's safety protocols.Later in the show, Terez & Charles discuss the NFL owners also voting to amend the Rooney Rule in order to award compensatory draft picks to franchises whose lower-level minority coaches and executives get hired to head coach and GM positions. They also chat about Raheem Morris' stint as interim head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and whether owner Arthur Blank could hire him to the role in a more official sense this offseason. (20:50)Closing out the episode, the guys open up the reader mailbag and share some stories about Todd Haley (after Matt Cassel told quite a story of his own on NBC Sports Boston) and try to determine which team in the horrid NFC East has the best chance of reversing their fortunes in the long-run.

Week 9 Preview: 2020 midseason awards and reckoning with another boring trade deadline
Tuesday was certainly a day not without excitement in America. The Presidential race is still too close to call as of late Wednesday, but we do know what to call Tuesday's trade deadline in the NFL: boring.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open up this midweek podcast reacting to the lack of major moves at the deadline and what it says about where most of the teams are at the season's halfway point.Elsewhere in the league, there were reports this week that the NFL is mulling a 16-team playoff format that would eliminate the bye week and allow eight teams from each conference into the playoffs for one year only. Which teams stand the most to gain from this proposed scenario? (13:10)Terez & Charles then devote the bulk of the episode to giving out their 2020 midseason awards. Is Tom Brady in the MVP conversation with the likes of Russel Wilson and Patrick Mahomes? Does Tua Tagovailoa have a chance to enter the apparent two-man race for offensive rookie of the year behind Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert? Mike Tomlin & Bruce Arians seem like frontrunners for the coach of the year award, but our experts argue that how Antonio Brown gels with the Bucs will ultimately play a huge role in how Arians is evaluated for that award. (19:25)Finally, the guys close out the episode previewing three matchups they're looking forward to most in Week 9: New Orleans at Tampa Bay, Seattle at Buffalo and Baltimore at Indianapolis.

Week 8 Sunday Night Freestyle: Ravens seem like the odd man out among AFC's elite
It was a wild, windy Week 8 in the NFL where few things were predictable (except for the Kansas City Chiefs easily dispensing of the New York Jets). Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off their Sunday night podcast recapping the clear game of the week between Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens and Ben Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers held on late to defeat their division rival and remain the league’s only unbeaten at 7-0, showing that the Ravens, yet again, might be on the outside looking in when it comes to a spot in this year’s AFC Championship.Terez & Charles recap all of the Week 8 games so far including Miami’s impressive defensive win over the visiting L.A. Rams, the sliding Titans’ loss to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals & the fourth straight loss for Bill Belichick, Cam Newton and the New England Patriots, who Charles argues are due for a full-on rebuild.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 8 Preview: Which teams will be buyers at next week's trade deadline?
Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast this week discussing the state of a handful of rosters as the NFL trade deadline fast approaches. With a reduced salary cap coming next year, we can expect a lot of teams to be sellers, but which teams will be buyers, like the Detroit Lions & Seattle Seahawks, who made defensive additions in Everson Griffen and Carlos Dunlap, respectively?Could the New England Patriots deal last year's Defensive Player of the Year, Stephon Gilmore? Will Super Bowl contenders like the Tennessee Titans & Green Bay Packers add that final piece as they plan to make deep playoff runs? Our experts spend the first half of the episode getting you primed for next week's big deadline.Later, they preview the three Week 8 matchups they're looking forward to most: The game of the weekend is the surely Pittsburgh Steelers traveling to face the division rival Baltimore Ravens. Not only will this game have playoff seeding ramifications, but how could this game affect the trade deadline as well? (25:05)We'll get our first look at this year's fifth overall pick, Tua Tagovailoa as the Los Angeles Rams travel east to take on the Miami Dolphins. Will Aaron Donald torture the rookie for four quarters or will the lack of tape on Tua play to the Dolphins advantage? (31:40)The NFC West is absolutely crazy when the worst team is the 4-3 San Francisco 49ers. They travel to the Seattle Seahawks coming off their first loss of the season to Arizona. If San Francisco gets the win, Terez & Charles explain how the division will turn into a bloodbath. (34:30)Finally, the guys close out the show answering listener questions about the safety of Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer's job and Le'Veon Bell's chemistry in the Kansas City Chiefs locker room and more (38:00).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 7 Recap: Yes, we have to take the Arizona Cardinals seriously in the NFC
Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap a wild Week 7 in which a handful of games came down to the wire, the first and foremost being the Arizona Cardinals' incredible comeback win in the final seconds of overtime versus the Seattle Seahawks. Elsewhere in the league, the Lions, Browns and Chargers also pulled off wacky wins in high-scoring games, meanwhile the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers looked like legit Super Bowl contenders. Terez & Charles discuss it all as they touch on every game from Week 7, even the two games from the lowly NFC East.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 7 Preview: Infighting and finger-pointing less than two months into the Mike McCarthy era in Dallas
Well, that didn’t take long. Less than two months into his first season with the franchise, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is already the target of scrutiny after reports his players have lost confidence in his coaching following an embarrassing 38-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast marveling at how quickly McCarthy’s good will has faded and how this particular instance has echoes of his final days with the Green Bay Packers.Next, Terez & Charles discuss the Buffalo Bills’ loss on Monday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Was the early-season Josh Allen hype unfounded or did the Bills just get handled by a better team? Also, Terez explains why Clyde Edwards-Helaire & Le’Veon Bell are not competitors for the same share of snaps, but rather complementary pieces on Kansas City’s burgeoning run-game. (13:50)On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins announced they would be benching QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of rookie Tua Tagovailoa. The guys explain why it was time for Miami to get the show on the road after the early success of Tagovailoa’s fellow first-rounders Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. (21:00)In a week, Antonio Brown’s eight-game suspension is due to conclude and the Seattle Seahawks have been deemed the favorites to land the troubled wideout. Our experts take an early victory lap after they had been predicting this uneasy marriage for a few months now, however Brown’s leash will be undeniably short due to the complicating factors of the COVID season. (26:25)Speaking of COVID, the Las Vegas Raiders were forced to send all five of their starting offensive linemen home after contact tracing declared them potentially susceptible to COVID-19 after a single positive test on the team. Charles & Terez break down how this unfortunate situation will continue to rear its ugly head all season. Likewise, they discuss the possibility of the Super Bowl being pushed back as far as a month later than its typical early February date. (32:05)Finally, our experts close out the podcast previewing five matchups to keep an eye on this upcoming weekend.

TNF this week stands for Tuesday Night Football as the usual Thursday night game was bumped back to next Monday and the postponed Bills-Titans matchup occurred on a rare Tuesday night for the NFL.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open up this mid-week podcast discussing Derrick Henry's nasty stiff arm on the dearly departed Josh Norman, and how the passing styles of Josh Allen and Ryan Tannehill portends the next era of elite quarterback play.Next, Terez & Charles spin it back to Monday night's matchup where the New Orleans Saints outlasted the Los Angeles Chargers in overtime. Is Drew Brees' arm really finished? Also, how much are NFL scouts who were low on Justin Herbert eating their words? (8:30)For the bulk of the episode, our experts dive into the New York Jets parting ways with Le'Veon Bell. Charles describes how Adam Gase was never into the former Steeler RB, and Terez tries to nail down a landing spot for the scatback. Could Le'Veon land in Chicago, Kansas City, Seattle, Philadelphia or Buffalo? (20:15)Closing out the show, the guys preview the three Week 6 matchups they're looking forward to most:Can Baker Mayfield lead the Cleveland Browns to a victory in the AFC North matchup against Big Ben and their eternal bullies, the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Week 5 Sunday Night Freestyle: The cruelty of the football gods
The football gods give and the foot ball gods take away. That was as apparent as ever on Sunday in Week 5 as Alex Smith made his triumphant return to action after nearly two years away from the sport as a result of a gruesome leg injury. On the other side of that coin, only hours later, Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome ankle injury of his own and is now out for the season.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap all of the Week 5 games up until Sunday night including the Dallas Cowboys' pyrrhic victory against the New York Giants, the Las Vegas Raiders stunning the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks adding another exhibit to his MVP case against the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons cleaning house after suffering yet another loss, this time to the surprisingly frisky Carolina Panthers.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 5 Preview: Why the Titans are in HUGE trouble, plus Bill O'Brien fired & Haskins benched
"It's not a matter of if, but when and how severe." Strong words kick off this mid-week podcast as Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor discuss the ongoing coronavirus outbreak within the Tennessee Titans organization. Will the Titans be forced to forfeit this weekend's matchup against the Buffalo Bills? What sort of punishment could Roger Goddell levy against Tennessee after reports of multiple safety violations including a secret off-site practice? (0:50)Next, the guys issue a correction to their Sunday night proclamation that there was a possibility no coaches could be fired this season. Houston Texans ownership had other plans in mind as they released Bill O'Brien from his duties on Monday. Charles & Terez break down where it all went wrong and discuss the candidates who could take over the year's first head coaching vacancy. (14:25)While the Houston Texans are sure of their quarterback of the future, the Washington Football Team seem to be moving on from theirs quite quickly. On Wednesday, the team announced Dwayne Haskins, their 2019 first round pick, would be benched in favor of Kyle Allen. What does this mean for Haskins' future and could we possibly see Alex Smith taking snaps under center in Washington soon? (30:50)Finally, Terez & Charles close out the show previewing the aforementioned Buffalo-Tennessee matchup scheduled for Week 5, as well as the Philadelphia Eagles traveling cross-state to face the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts squaring off against the Cleveland Browns in a battle of two 3-1 playoff hopefuls.

It never seemed like a matter of if, but only when. When would the NFL have to face its first major COVID outbreak? The answer came after Week 3 when it was reported that initially three, and now four players and five additional personnel on the Tennessee Titans tested positive for the novel coronavirus after playing a game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.How did this happen? What steps did the league take when a Titans coach first tested positive on Saturday and what steps could’ve been taken? How will this affect the Titans-Steelers matchup that has been postponed until at least Monday? Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson break down the entire situation developing in Tennessee and the implications on the rest of the season.Next, they recap the 34-20 strong-arming the Kansas City Chiefs put on the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. What do the Ravens need to do if they see Patrick Mahomes again in the playoffs? (18:30)After the Philadelphia Eagles’ winless start, you know the sky is falling in the City of Brotherly Love. The guys try to figure out what is wrong with Carson Wentz and propose a few options for how the Eagles should handle the rest of their season. (29:05)After the Houston Texans worked out, but declined to sign former Ravens and Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, Charles talks through the multi-year depreciation of the all-pro’s legacy around the league and why very few teams are interesting in signing the former pro-bowler. (37:00)Finally, the guys close out the show previewing two Week 4 matchups:Someone’s got to get a win as the Minnesota Vikings travel to the Houston Texans (or maybe not, as we saw last week in the Cincinnati-Philadelphia tie). If the Vikings can’t get a W here, should they blow the whole thing up? (44:20)The 2-1 Cleveland Browns are heading to Dallas to see if they can keep their strong start going against the 1-2 Dallas Cowboys. Though the Cowboys have been dreadful defending the pass all season, the guys explain that Cleveland should do what they do best: run the ball with Nick Chubb & Kareem Hunt.

Can Aaron Rodgers threaten Russell Wilson’s 2020 MVP campaign?The experts also discuss the amazing Rams-Bills matchup in Buffalo, another Atlanta collapse, Chicago’s QB battle, Houston falling further into the winless hole, and whether the Giants, Jets and Broncos, three absolutely abysmal teams, might explore their options at quarterback if they wind up earning a top-3 pick in the 2021 draft.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 3 Preview: Tyrod's punctured lung & the real reason Russ hasn't received an MVP vote
The NFL season has entered its third week, yet the coronavirus does not quit. A friendly reminder from the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast to keep wearing your mask. A reminder from the league apparently didn't land with coaches Jon Gruden and Sean Payton, who were both personally fined $100,000 after not properly masking up during the New Orleans Saints' Monday night loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the mid-week pod discussing the fines doled out to multiple coaches for the mask policy, if the 2-0 Raiders are for real and if it's time to worry about the 1-1 Saints. Staying in the AFC West, news came out on Wednesday that the reason for Tyrod Taylor's chest pains, which led to Justin Herbert's first start for the Los Angeles Chargers, was a team doctor accidentally puncturing Taylor's lung with a pre-game injection. Charles & Terez dive into this strange medical story and the legal ramifications it could have for the Chargers. (16:10)Our experts also discuss the strange case of the MetLife Stadium turf, where the San Francisco 49ers lost Nick Bosa, Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert and more to injury last Sunday while visiting the New York Jets. What does it mean that the NFLPA backed the 49er's complaint about the playing surface? (27:10)There has been quite a TV & internet hullabaloo lately that Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has never garnered a single MVP vote in his eight-year career. Charles, an MVP voter, explains the very justifiable reason why. (32:00)Finally, the guys close out the show previewing a trio key matchups to look forward to in Week 3: Kansas City at Baltimore (40:55), the Los Angeles Rams at Buffalo (49:30) and Dallas at Seattle (58:00).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The guys tell you if this year's batch of rumors carry any weight.OBJ wasn't the only wideout to claim the trade rumor spotlight this week.

(7:55)Taking a look back to Week 1's final games, Charles & Terez recap the Steelers' win over the Giants and the Titans' win over the Broncos on the Monday Night Football doubleheader. (14:55)One of the biggest stories of the weekend was how the league and its players addressed the fight for social justice. From a video that used the likeness of Colin Kaepernick that Eric Reid called, "diabolical," to the apparent boos from Kansas City fans on Thursday night, Terez & Charles break down the messy rollout of this new campaign. (25:15)In the second half of the show, the guys look ahead to preview the Week 2 matchups. A number of 0-1 teams play each other this week.

2020 season preview, plus will the Saints go all-in on Clowney?
In seven days, the 2020 NFL season kicks off in Kansas City as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs face off against Deshaun Watson and the Texans. We can’t believe it either.Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor devote the majority of the podcast to previewing the 2020 season. Who will win each division? Who will the three (yes, three) wild card teams be from each conference? Our experts weigh in on the AFC (4:15) followed by the NFC (28:40).On Thursday night, reports surfaced that the New Orleans Saints could be interested in making a move for free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Terez & Charles talk about why going all-in on Clowney means the Saints are going all-in for a Super Bowl in 2020. (1:01:05)As a special treat, the guys close out the show with an even more special guest. He defiantly stood up to a skeptical government board and spoke out against the cruelest of evils. Yes, Ander Christensen went viral this week imploring the city of Lincoln, Nebraska to call boneless wings what they really are: chicken tenders. Ander joins the pod to talk about his crazy week and his fight for proper chicken meat nomenclature. It’s the interview of the millennium.

Alvin Kamara's trade potential and Leonard Fournette landing spots
With the NFL season less than 10 days away, there's been a flurry of transactions and stories as the league and country face the reality that, yes, indeed the NFL season is going to happen very soon. Buckle up and get your fantasy teams drafted -- it's going to be a wild season.The headline on Tuesday was a tweet from Josina Anderson reporting that the New Orleans Saints may be open to trading their star running back Alvin Kamara. Could he really be on the move or is it more posturing between the two sides trying to negotiate a new contract for the elite combo back (2:10)Additionally, the Jacksonville Jaguars parted ways with running back Leonard Fournette. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson talk about where things went wrong between Fournette and the Jags and speculate on a number of possible landing spots for the former fourth overall pick. (11:30)The Jaguars certainly had an active few days as they also dealt disgruntled DE Yannick Ngakoue to the Minnesota Vikings for a pair of future draft picks. What does this mean for the Jaguars' long-term future as well as the Minnesota Vikings in a very winnable NFC North? (32:00)On the coronavirus front, the league briefly got down to one player on the Reserve/COVID list before another four players tested positive last week, including Fred Warner, the San Francisco 49ers' young standout linebacker. Charles & Terez talk about how the league is walking a very fine line in regards to the pandemic as training camps end and teams transition into regular season play. (40:35)Finally, the guys close out the episode discussing the fourth episode of Hard Knocks, which focused heavily on the Rams and Chargers players and staff reacting to the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Thoughts on Kenosha, Wisconsin & the NBA walk-out
Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson lay down their thoughts on another difficult week in America after Jacob Blake, a Black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin was shot multiple times by police, followed by the ensuing murder of two protesters by an out-of-state member who appeared to have been aided by local police. On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks did not take the court for their first-round playoff game against the Orlando Magic in protest of these events, and soon the rest of the NBA's remaining teams followed suit with the full slate of games on Wednesday and Thursday being postponed. A number of MLB games were also rescheduled and many NFL teams have cancelled their practices in the last 24 hours.While discussing how this may affect the NFL in two weeks when the season kicks off in Kansas City, Terez shares a personal story about why these issues are so important and how a mundane occurrence that might seem trivial to most is potentially dangerous for Black men and women in America.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Earl Thomas to Dallas isn't set in stone & NFL reacts to weekend of false positive tests
Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson kick off this episode recapping Tuesday night's episode of Hard Knocks that saw little new insight or action aside from a beautiful in-person view of SoFi Stadium, the new $5 billion dollar home to the Rams and Chargers.Moving onto some very strange news in the continuation of the offseason's major storyline, the return to play amid a global pandemic -- a whopping 77 league-wide coronavirus tests were deemed to be false positives over the weekend. Though clubs and league executives can safely breathe a sigh of relief after this event, the guys explain why this situation is a good thing for overall league preparedness. (12:40)Additionally over the weekend, the Baltimore Ravens released All-Pro safety Earl Thomas after an altercation with a teammate. Charles & Terez explain why many teams will be reluctant to sign the star defender and why the Dallas Cowboys, who had long been linked with S Jamal Adams over the offseason, shouldn't be perceived as the odds-on favorite to land Thomas. (19:45)Staying in Dallas, owner Jerry Jones made comments on Tuesday outlining the team's "new" policy for how they would handle national anthem protests...except for the new policy isn't new at all. The guys explain why Jerry and other hardline owners against players kneeling for the anthem would be better suited just letting the players do what they want. (35:00)Later, Terez & Charles talk about Roger Goodell's appearance on Emmanuel Acho's "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man," (41:30) before wrapping up the show with a little fantasy talk about the Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kraft's prostitution case gets updated, Chiefs ban Native American headwear & the possibility of bubble NFL playoffs
We know 2020 has been a long year, but if you can think all the way back to the scandal of February 2019, you may remember Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution at a spa in Florida. Eighteen months later, a Florida appeals court has ruled the video evidence of Kraft and other suspects inadmissible under the fourth amendment. Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson provide an update on the salacious story and how Kraft's expensive legal team carved a massive legal win for other suspects in the case as well as a class action lawsuit on behalf of innocent spa-goers who were illegally surveilled. Later, Charles & Terez talk about a league conference call in which the idea was floated (and not brushed off) of playing out the 2020 playoffs in a campus or location similar to the NBA's bubble. (13:50)Washington QB Alex Smith turned eyes this week as he made his return to the practice field, two years after a gruesome leg injury in which many doubted if he'd ever play again. The guys talk about his heroic comeback and how he has won, even if he never plays an NFL snap again. (20:35)In Kansas City, the Chiefs announced on Thursday they would no longer permit fans to wear Native American-style headdresses, face paint or similar iconography that appropriates Native American culture. One month after the Washington Football Team ditched their former nickname, is this change enough in Kansas City and how will the fans react? (29:30)Finally, Charles & Terez open the mailbag and discuss the NFL stadiums with the best food.

Gerald McCoy, Jadeveon Clowney and the confluence of attrition and availability at NFL's first padded practices
Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open this late Tuesday night podcast with their thoughts on the second episode of Hard Knocks featuring the Chargers, Rams, Jalen Ramsey's house-hunting and Aaron Donald's shirtless abs.Next, Charles and Terez discuss the attrition some teams are experiencing in the first few days of padded practice. With Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy out for the season, eyes in the league shift back to free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. While Clowney and his camp believe attrition could help drive up the price for the former Seahawk and Texan, Charles argues that his opportunities are drying up as front offices around the league lose their patience. (20:45)On a brighter note in this strange offseason, as of this taping, only twelve players sit inactive on the NFL's reserve/Covid-19 list. Could that number get down to zero soon or is the league destined to see that number creep up as more physical practices become the norm? (30:05)The Washington Football Team made headlines this week as they hired former running back Jason Wright as their team president. The first ever Black man to have this role, Charles and Terez outline the struggles they could envision Wright encountering under notorious owner Daniel Snyder. (39:35)Later, our experts try to determine who has the best chance of having a better season in 2020: Cam Newton or Josh Allen? (48:40)Finally, they close out the episode discussing the draft predictions they've gotten tremendously right and horribly wrong over the years.

Cowboys go all-in on D-line, plus who will be the next Kittle or Kelce?
America's team made a huge addition to their defensive line in an all-in move for 2020, but before Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson get to that, more pressing matters must be addressed:The Seattle Seahawks cut rookie undrafted free agent cornerback Kemah Siverand for attempting to sneak in a female companion (dressed as a man) into the team hotel, proving the continued need for an NFL snitch line. (0:20)The Dallas Cowboys were in the news for multiple reasons this week. Terez & Charles address Dallas bolstering their defensive line with former Minnesota DE Everson Griffen, how Jerry Jones might handle players who kneel for the anthem and the team's plans to seat fans in "pods" when the season kicks off in a few weeks. (4:55)It was a good day if you were one of the league's elite tight ends. San Francisco's George Kittle and Kansas City's Travis Kelce both signed massive multi-year extensions, completely resetting the market for a star tight end. Our experts break down what that means for the position and if the league could see an influx of ultra-athletic specimens at the position. (26:00)Later, they look at the next class of TEs – Hooper, Hockenson, Fant, Andrews – who is the next Kittle or Kelce out of this young class? (40:00)Finally, they close out the show addressing a listener question about which countries could develop the best international football leagues.

Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open today's podcast recapping Anthony Lynn, Sean McVay, Jalen Ramsey and the season premiere of HBO's docuseries covering the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers.While not every NFL fan watches college football, today's monumental news from the Big Ten and Pac-12 absolutely has an impact on football seasons to come. With the two conferences (and potentially more) deciding to cancel their fall seasons and potentially play their 2020 seasons in the spring of 2021, Terez and Charles look at what this means for the NFL.

How are NFL teams going to avoid a Marlins-like catastrophe?
Pessimism surrounding the upcoming NFL season hit new levels on Monday morning after MLB's opening weekend fell flat on its face. After reports that at least 14 players on the Miami Marlins had tested positive for coronavirus and a slew of games were cancelled, anyone with an interest in sports wondered how the NFL could realistically and safely pull off a season after such a quick blunder in baseball.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast on this startling turn of events.

Nasty labor battle looms before the start of NFL training camp
With NFL players just days away from officially reporting to training camp, a financial storm looms on the horizon as NFL owners and players are potentially aligned to duke it out over money and pro-rated pay just as the MLB and its players did earlier in the summer.Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson look at the major obstacles that stand in the way of labor peace and a 2020 season on today's podcast.First, they talk about the Washington Football Team's official temporary name and uniform dropping just as the NHL decides to release the Kraken.

After a coordinated social media push on Sunday involving Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and more, NFL players successfully kickstarted a whirlwind two days of negotiations regarding each team's health and safety procedures on the eve of training camps opening later this week.Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open the podcast with the latest on the continuing talks between the league and the players' union. With testing procedures agreed upon and out of the way, the major question left is the economics of this 2020 season – will owners try to earn back a bargaining chip lost in this years' CBA in exchange for lightening the financial burden on the players?Also, what will NFL's opening weekend look like in September now that the pre-season has officially been cancelled?

Growing pessimism around the start of the NFL season
The NFL was lucky to have the coronavirus pandemic start only weeks after the Super Bowl. The league would have a majority of its offseason to plan how to return to action as planned in the fall. But increasingly, there is growing pessimism that the 2020 season will kick off according to schedule this September.Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open this podcast breaking down the latest questions surrounding the start of the season. Will players feel safe with how frequently they'll be tested and will teams be able to get speedy results? What about the NFLPA recommending to cancel the preseason? Is it a sign of a looming labor fight to have the NFL owners asking to put 35% of the players' salaries in escrow?In the back-half of the pod, two prominent players requested trades in the last week. San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert asked to be dealt, the guys discuss why this might be the best move for the 28-year-old back who broke out last year.

Mahomes' mega-deal, Desean Jackson's posts and Washington's long-awaited name change
So much can happen in a week. Since the latest podcast, Cam Newton signed with the Patriots, Patrick Mahomes signed a 10-year extension nearing a half-billion (with a b) dollars and the franchise in Washington announced after years of pressure that they'd explore changing the team's nickname. How things change indeed.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open this podcast with Mahomes' mega-deal, what it means for the likes of Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson and why it means the Chiefs will have to be flawless with their drafts and free agency going forward. (1:15)Later, they discuss Instagram posts made by Eagles WR DeSean Jackson in which he published fake quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler. As of this taping, he still remains with the team but the situation brings up echoes of Riley Cooper, who was never cut by the Eagles after his racist tirade was caught on video.

(17:15)After years of condemnation from fans across America, Native American and otherwise, Washington announced last week they would explore changing the team's nickname.

The Cowboys' offseason of pain, plus where will Cam & Clowney sign?
Most of the contestants in this year's game of NFL free agency musical chairs have found a seat, but there are still a few key players waiting to find their next landing spot. Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor shed some light on two of these major free agents on this week's podcast.First and foremost is former Carolina Panthers QB and 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton, who was cut by the squad on Tuesday.

Hopkins and Diggs traded and more headlines from free agency day one
The Dolphins and Browns threw down a lot of cash, the Cowboys and Titans made sure to keep their QBs, but the headline of the first 12 hours of free agency was the completely WTF trade between the Houston Texans and the Arizona Cardinals.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap a stacked weekend in NFL news, starting with the head-scratching deal that sent DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona for David Johnson (as well as the reshuffling of a trio of draft picks). (3:15)While their attempts to retain Ryan Tannehill & Derrick Henry are worthy of praise, Terez is skeptical of the Tennessee Titans' overall plan because in doing so, they lost out on a key offensive lineman. (13:55)One of those linemen, Jack Conklin, agreed to terms with the Browns, who made a number of other deals on Monday that may prove that there is finally a strategy in Cleveland. (18:25)Moving to Dallas, the Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Dak Prescott in the hopes of inking him to a longer deal and locked in Amari Cooper for a whopping 5-year, $100m contract. Should Cowboys fans be content with their QB-WR combo of the future? (25:55)Forever disgruntled Minnesota Viking Stefon Diggs finally got his wish late Monday as he was traded to the Buffalo Bills for a haul of draft picks that surely would make Texans fans blush. How does Diggs fit with his new squad? (29:15)The Indianapolis Colts made a surprising move in trading their first-round pick for San Francisco DT DeForest Buckner. The guys discuss how this move could pair well with the Colts adding a veteran QB like Philip Rivers or maybe...Tom Brady? (36:05)They wrap up free agency talk with some notes about the Ravens, Eagles and Lions (41:20).Also on the podcast: Charles has some thoughts about Tom Brady's still undecided free agency (48:20), and the new CBA passed on Saturday by 60 votes, is the anger from the players who voted "no" justified?

Here at the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast, we take care of our own… and sometimes that means NFL franchises. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the pod by breaking down the Twitter meltdown over the new Los Angeles Rams logo and how Charles might have helped the franchise in the long run. (00:27)Later, Charles and Terez continue to dive into the latest CBA talks. Is there cautious optimism from the union at this point in the negations? What is the one thing a powerful agent believes will be the reason the deal passes? (7:48)Speaking of contracts, it has been reported that the Cowboys offered Dak Prescott a new deal averaging $33 million dollars a year. Will Prescott accept the offer and why would he trade the leverage he has going into 2020? (18:23)Terez and Charles close the podcast by looking at a few interesting players that could be franchise tagged in the coming days.

Tom Brady plays hardball & a post-combine stock watch
A lot can happen over the course of a week. Since the last episode of the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast, ESPN's Jeff Darlington reported that sources expect Tom Brady to hit free agency with the assumption he'll be playing outside of New England and just yesterday, multiple reports cited a phone call between Brady and Bill Belichick that "did not go well."Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson interpret the growing reports that TB12 will hit free agency, the increasingly strong rumors the San Francisco 49ers would make a play for him and throw a bit of cold water on the idea that multiple teams are going after the legend. (2:25)They devote much of the rest of the show to recapping the final days of the combine. Could as many as four QBs be drafted in the top 10? Is Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts a good fit backing up Drew Brees in New Orleans? What's the deal with that Washington lineman who joked in an interview about his...anatomy? Does a free agency rumor about an offensive lineman hint that the Redskins might indeed be interested in drafting Tua Tagovailoa? (13:20) Later, our experts touch on a number of smaller news stories from around the NFL. What's the latest with the proposed new CBA? (37:35) With the Jaguars trading CB A.J. Bouye to the Broncos, the Chris Harris, Jr. era in Denver is apparently over. (44:50)Terez talks about where the Kansas City Chiefs are at with WR Sammy Watkins and previews his interview from earlier in the day with Patrick Mahomes. (46:45)Finally, they discuss the Cincinnati Bengals, owners of the first overall pick. Historical organizational ineptitude aside, Terez makes the case their offense could show flashes of the 2018 LA Rams very soon if they make the right moves to complement presumably drafting Joe Burrow (49:00)Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mahomes leads Chiefs' 4th quarter comeback to win Super Bowl LIV
For a while there, it felt like the magic had truly run out two weeks ago versus Tennessee. The Kansas City Chiefs were down by 10 for much of the second half after the San Francisco 49er defense had picked off Patrick Mahomes twice.

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson chop it up in the wee hours of the morning from inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to recap the game that the Chiefs take home their second Lombardi trophy since 1970.

Super Bowl LIV final predictions: Andy's legacy, SF's run game and will a TE be MVP?
With only a few short days left before Super Bowl LIV between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson are joined on Radio Row in Miami by Dan Wetzel of the Yahoo Sports College Podcast and Netflix's Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez.Before they break down the game, the guys have to bury the hatchet. Dan grills Charles about being 30 minutes late to the podcast in Miami traffic and Terez tells a story about Dan & Charles from the night before that involves a thunderstorm, cigars and the hotel swimming pool (0:20)The guys preview Sunday's Super Bowl by each picking the game (5:45), then diving into the intriguing coaching matchup between Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan.

Luke Kuechly's surprise retirement, offensive coordinator carousel, plus Conference Championship preview

Continuing the trend of great players in their 20s to hang up their cleats early, Charles and Terez address his legacy and chew over whether he and other recent retirees should make it to the Hall of Fame. (0:20)The Carolina Panthers made a big splash on Tuesday afternoon before Kuechly's retirement, announcing that LSU passing-attack coordinator Joe Brady would be assuming the role of offensive coordinator in Matt Rhule's new staff. What does this mean for the Panthers and Cam Newton? (14:30)In Denver, the Broncos surprisingly fired OC Rich Scangarello after only one season in the middle of last Sunday's Chiefs game and replace him with former Giants coach Pat Shurmur. The guys talk about how this signals a new arms race in the AFC West. (23:10)The Jacksonville Jaguars fired OC John Defilippo this weekend, as well. Does this mean the Jags are making a commitment to Gardner Minshew? (29:30)Wrapping up the OC moves, the Chicago Bears hired former Bengals coordinator Bill Lazor. Does this signal that the Bears could be interested in the very available Andy Dalton or just a change of offensive philosophy for Mitchell Trubisky? (33:40)And now to the big games, Charles & Terez break down what the Tennessee Titans need to do to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs (38:35) and what they're looking forward to when the Green Bay Packers face off against the San Francisco 49ers (52:10).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cowboys, Giants, Panthers find their next head coach, plus divisional round preview

Ron Rivera fired, predicting the 2020 QB carousel & leave Kirk alone!
News broke late on Thursday afternoon that the Carolina Panthers had parted ways with longtime head coach Ron Rivera.

Hidden legal revelations from the NFL's workout of the embattled former quarterback are the main story on this episode, but first Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson react to the Los Angeles Chargers' 17-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City on Monday night.Was Philip Rivers' awful 4 INT game a sign that his career is drawing to a close sooner, rather than later?

The guys look at the game from all those angles. (0:30)Next, Charles dives into some surprising details he learned from the league's workout of Colin Kaepernick over the weekend in Atlanta.

Week 9 Sunday Night Freestyle: Lamar Jackson is making every team regret not drafting him
After the Baltimore Ravens' 37-20 victory over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, there are no more doubts that Lamar Jackson is one of the league's elite young QBs. So much for the scouts that thought he should play WR. Jackson paired 163 yards and 1 TD passing with another 61 yards and 2 TDs on the ground in a multi-faceted performance that vaulted him into the MVP conversation. Remember that only 18 months ago, Jackson was selected with the 32nd overall pick in the draft, meaning that every team in the league passed over him once. How many of them are regretting that now?Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson break down every game from the Week 9 slate, starting with Baltimore's impressive win over New England, the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes-less win over a potentially playoff-bound Minnesota Vikings team and Seattle's shootout win in OT over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rams swap Peters for Ramsey and the MNF officiating nightmare
If a controversial Monday night game between the Packers and Lions wasn't enough mid-week action for you, on Tuesday the Los Angeles Rams said, "hold my beer" and made a number of splashes in the form of two trades that massively reshaped their secondary and sent a key piece to an AFC contender.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off this mid-week podcast with the trades that sent Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the LA Rams and Marcus Peters from the Rams to the Baltimore Ravens (1:00). What does this mean for the Rams, Ravens and Jaguars, who all got something different out of this defensive reshuffling.Even though it feels like it happened a decade ago, the Detroit Lions fell to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night with the help of a last-second Mason Crosby field goal and a handful of controversial calls.

Browns, 49ers beef on Monday night and exploring the Redskins' coaching options
The most explosive part of the San Francisco 49ers 31-3 Monday night win over the Cleveland Browns wasn't the lopsided score, but the serious shade thrown between the two teams not typically considered rivals.

How will the Bears do without QB Mitchell Trubisky? How many sacks will Khalil Mack get in his revenge game vs. his former Raiders? When will it be the last straw between the NFL and Vontaze Burfict?Wrapping up the show, our experts discuss a trio of key Week 5 games: Rams/Seahawks (33:15), Buccaneers/Saints (38:15) and Packers/Cowboys (45:00).

Were these losses proof that Detroit and Buffalo were frauds all along, or a sign they should be taken seriously.Listen as Terez & Charles break down every Week 4 game.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cam out long-term, TB12 tweets and when will Dwayne Haskins get the start?
Week 3 in the NFL saw a pair of exciting starts from young, unproven quarterbacks in Giants rookie Daniel Jones and Panthers second-year passer Kyle Allen. The Chicago Bears prime-time drubbing of the Washington Redskins on Monday has many asking when we'll see a third name on that list: Dwayne Haskins.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the show on that Monday night blowout and when they expect to see the former Buckeye passer get the start in Jay Gruden's offense (0:35).Back to Kyle Allen, news of Cam Newton's Lisfranc injury means he could be out significantly longer than initially predicted, meaning the Panthers will get a significant look at the young passer. Could Allen save head coach Ron Rivera's job? If a coaching change is made, would new owner David Tepper stick with GM Marty Hurney? Terez & Charles dive into the Carolina Panther's palace intrigue from multiple angles (13:45).Last Thursday night's unremarkable game between the Jaguars and Titans had one interesting footnote: a tweet from Tom Brady complaining about "too many penalties." Our experts note how the league responded...fast (25:00).After a borderline-NSFW conversation about naming rights and a certain online porn company putting in a bid for the Heat's stadium in Miami (29:20), Terez & Charles preview their most anticipated Week 4 games in Cowboys/Saints, Packers/Eagles, Bills/Patriots and Browns/Ravens (33:30).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 3 Sunday Night Freestyle: Rough home loss puts Kitchens' play-calling in question
Sunday night's marquee matchup between the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams and upstart AFC North Cleveland Browns was a disappointing prime-time outing for head coach Freddie Kitchens. Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open the show scrutinizing some of the head-scratching plays called in the latter half of the game as many in north Ohio have to be wondering if they made the right decision hiring the first-time head coach. It doesn't get any easier for the Browns, their next two games are agains the Ravens and 49ers.Terez and Charles also run through the remainder if the Week 3 NFL slate including the Giants' come-back win in Tampa behind rookie QB Daniel Jones, the Lamar Jackson/Patrick Mahomes duel in Kansas City, the Saints' impressive road win in Seattle and a few desperate teams like the Jets, Broncos, Dolphins and Raiders continuing their downward trends.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Moving forward in an NFL without Ben, Brees, Eli and Cam
Week 3 of the 2019 NFL season will continue without four of the major quarterback pillars of the last decade. As a result of either benching or injury, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Cam Newton will all be sitting out at least this week and in Big Ben's case, the entire season.Starting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson try to piece together the picture of a radically different NFL without these quarterbacks (0:45). The Steelers at least are showing some confidence in backup Mason Rudolph as they also traded their 2020 first round pick to the Miami Dolphins for CB Minkah Fitzpatrick.Speaking of star corners, Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey requested a trade from the Jaguars. Terez & Charles discuss a few of the teams who could be in the market for the young and outspoken defensive back (4:55).In New York, the Giants officially passed the torch from Eli Manning to Daniel Jones and our experts assert that this is a very good sign about Jones' development (16:50).Moving to New Orleans, Charles & Terez wonder if Drew Brees' extended absense is the perfect opportunity for the Saints to try out Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill at quarterback. Is Brees' heir apparent one of these two young passers or someone else (22:15).Staying in the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers are now without Cam Newton for an extended period of time, which could be a very bad sign for the team, its coaching staff and personnel staff (27:35).Wrapping up the podcast, Terez & Charles discuss how new coaches have been struggling (32:45), investigate which teams are having the worst season so far (37:00) and check in on presumptive top 5 picks in next year's draft, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert (45:20).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Meanwhile on Sunday Night Football, Carson Wentz sat out significant time in the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the Atlanta Falcons.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson dissect every game from the weekend including the troubling QB injuries, a pair of coach/player fights and a very interesting theory about the future of the Cowboys' coaching staff.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our experts break down what this game means for the two floundering AFC West franchises (10:45).From floundering out west to flounders in the east -- the Miami Dolphins' obvious tanking efforts are causing concerns all around the league. Terez & Charles outline their concern for the Dolphins fans, staff and players and why tanking in the NFL might not go away (14:40).Later, the guys dig into a pair of star players and their new contracts. First, Charles has an update on Dak Prescott's no longer "imminent" new deal (25:10) and then Terez dives into the details of Tyreek Hill's new deal and where the Kansas City Chiefs might hope to invest next (30:05).Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Optimism season: which teams should be hopeful right now?
The beginning of summer marks the beginning of a different kind of season in the NFL: optimism season.

Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson break down optimism season in the NFL and which teams have a reason to be cheery this time of year.Even the Kansas City Chiefs have something to be optimistic for as a decision regarding Tyreek Hill's playing status looms closer.

Terez outlines the latest on the Hill situation and why the NFL could still issue a pretty major punishment (1:30).Moving to the rest of the league, they run through which teams should be hopeful, including the Cowboys, every team in the NFC West and even snakebitten franchises like the Jaguars, Redskins and Giants (9:55).Charles and Terez later run through all eight of the last-place teams from last season and try to predict which one could make the playoffs this year (25:30).

This Is How It Happened: Thomas Morstead and the Saints' onside kick in Super Bowl XLIV
Arguably the two most important plays in the history of the New Orleans Saints came on special teams. On September 25, 2006, safety Steve Gleason blocked an Atlanta Falcons punt, producing the Saints' first touchdown in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. It was the fulfillment of a promise that the Saints would return to New Orleans after the hurricane decimated the city and forced the team to play in San Antonio and Baton Rouge the year prior– but it wasn't a Super Bowl.Three and a half years later, down 10-6 at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts, a decision was made in the Saints' locker room that would shock the world, change the momentum of the game and lead to the Saints' first Super Bowl victory ever: Sean Payton ordered punter Thomas Morstead to start the second half with a surprise onside kick.Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Dan Wetzel sit down with Morstead almost nine years after that day to discuss how it happened: what transpired over halftime in that locker room that led to that risky decision and what was it like being one of the only people in the world who knew what was about to transpire.Be sure to visit Yahoo Sports later in the week for videos and articles about Morstead's famous kick as we provide tons of Super Bowl content heading into Super Bowl XLIII.
