When the Las Vegas Raiders traded for quarterback Geno Smith, it changed the math dramatically for their 2025 NFL Draft. Now, the team is no longer desperate for a first-round quarterback, instead shifting to a win-now mentality to maximize the final years of Smith’s career. With that, we asked the Pro Football Network NFL mock […]

The Buffalo Bills made some moves in free agency this offseason, albeit some that won’t pay off until after the players’ PED suspensions. However, with 10 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Bills’ Super Bowl hopes will definitely be affected by the players selected. So we asked the Pro Football Network NFL mock draft […]

Wide receiver Mike Williams is back with the Los Angeles Chargers after a year away. He returns to the team that drafted—and then cut—him after what was, by his own admission, a “terrible” season away. “I’m just being honest. It was terrible,” Williams said, per ProFootballTalk. “Probably the worst year I’ve had in the league […]

The latest NFL rumors are that free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers could end up on the Minnesota Vikings next season. While this does make sense on some levels, NFL insider Mike Florio believes that there are a lot more reasons that a marriage between his favorite team and the polarizing QB doesn’t make any sense […]

The Duke Blue Devils looked like one of the best teams in college basketball as they breezed through the ACC Tournament, and they did it without the best player in the game. Now, head coach Jon Scheyer has an optimistic Cooper Flagg injury update as March Madness approaches, but that doesn’t mean we will see […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are no longer desperate for a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft after trading for Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith. This deal creates a new world of possibilities in late April, and ESPN draft guru Field Yates belives this opens the door for Vegas to take Boiste State running back Ashton […]

The Buffalo Bills just gave quarterback Josh Allen a historic contract extension. Now, with the six-year, $330 million deal with $250 million guaranteed, Allen is locked up in Western New York until 2030. So, the question becomes, is this a good deal for the Bills? Did the franchise just lock up its most important player […]

The Miami Dolphins had a disappointing 9-8 season in 2024, which means it’s back to the drawing board for Mike McDaniel and company as they try to figure out a way to unseat the Buffalo Bills as kings of the AFC East. The 2025 NFL Draft will be a big part of that for the […]

When Cooper Flagg signed up to play for the Duke basketball program, he surely had these rivalry games against North Carolina in mind. On Saturday, the Blue Devils took care of the Tar Heels, 82-69, although the game was closer than the final score makes it seem. So, how did Copper Flagg play in what […]

Cooper Flagg and Duke basketball continue to roll as the superstar freshman, and the No. 2 team in the country beat their biggest rival, North Carolina, 82-69 on Saturday night. During the game, cameras caught Flagg’s parents, Kelly and Ralph Flagg, savagely taunting the Tar Heels after their son’s monstrous dunk. After a thunderous dunk […]

The Las Vegas Raiders made the boldest move of the offseason so far, trading a third-round pick (No. 73) in the 2025 NFL draft to the Seattle Seahawks for quarterback Geno Smith. The move reunites Smith with his former coach, Pete Carroll, and begs the question, what’s next for the Silver and Black? Well, we […]

The Buffalo Bills have a whopping 10 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, which means they will have a lot of chances to find that missing piece to put them over the edge and finally make the Super Bowl. Who will they take with these picks? We asked the PFF NFL mock draft simulator to […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are in the midst of a tumultuous offseason. A year after giving Joe Burrow a massive contract extension, the team now has to give new deals to wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins or risk losing them. This is why the Bengals have given defensive end Trey Hendrickson, entering the last […]

The Tennessee Titans have the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and while that often means picking a quarterback, it doesn’t seem like things are shaking out that way. If the Titans don’t take their QB of the future, they will still need a signal-caller to lead the team and help Will Levis […]

The New York Giants badly need a quarterback, and they’ve now missed on trades for Matthew Stafford (re-signed with the Los Angeles Rams) and Geno Smith (traded to the Las Vegas Raiders). So, while drafting a QB at No. 3 is still an option, so is signing a veteran free agent and Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller […]

The NFL Scouting Combine is over, which means we now know the heights, weights, and underwear-based athletic ability of most of the prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class. It also means a new NFL mock draft before the free agency “legal tampering period” starts on March 10. So, without further ado, here is the […]

Lionel Messi has spent the better part of the last two years playing for Inter Miami in Florida and is seemingly happy in his new life in the United States. Before that, he spent 17 years playing for Barcelona in Spain, winning a storage unit full of team and personal hardware. In between, though, he […]

The Buffalo Bills did what they do best in 2024, putting up a stellar regular season, winning the AFC East, and eventually succumbing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. This season felt different, though, as if the team is closer to a Super Bowl than ever but just a player or two short. […]

The New York Giants currently sit at No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft and desperately need a quarterback. The problem is that there are two top QB prospects in this year’s class, which may leave the G Men without a chair when the music stops. That’s why it’s no surprise that rumors have arisen […]

Waking up to news of the Luka Doncic trade on Feb. 2 shocked the NBA world. But before Nico Harrison made the league-altering deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, he reportedly did call one other team. However, when the Dallas Mavericks general manager reached out to the Minnesota Timberwolves about Anthony Edwards, they quickly said […]

The New England Patriots are heading into a new era under head coach Mike Vrabel, and they are seemingly getting rid of any players who don’t fit with the new program. One of those players is defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, who the Patriots have given permission to seek a trade as he does not fit […]

The 2025 NFL Draft doesn’t have a lot of can’t-miss prospects or well-known quarterbacks and wide receivers at the top of Round 1, which has led many to label the class “weak.” However, plenty of good players will come off the board in the first few rounds, especially at the unglamorous interior offensive and defensive […]

The Miami Dolphins had a wildly disappointing 8-9 2024 campaign after spending last offseason as a trendy AFC East champion pick. Now, it’s back to the drawing board, and a big part of that will be the 2025 NFL Draft. So, let’s see what the Pro Football Network mock draft simulator says the Dolphins do […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South for the fourth consecutive season in 2024, but to stay on top, they must bring in reinforcements in the 2025 NFL Draft. While there are no glaring holes on the Tampa Bay roster, there are several areas they could clearly improve in, so let’s see what happens […]

Heading into the 2025 NFL offseason, the New Orleans Saints are $51 million over the salary cap, which is the worst cap situation in the league by more than $20 million. This cap quagmire will affect every aspect of the Saints offseason, including the 2025 NFL Draft. So, let’s get into it by looking at […]

The Buffalo Bills head into the 2025 NFL Draft with three picks in the first two rounds (but no third-round pick). That should allow them to get three impact players. However, using the Pro Football Network 2025 NFL mock draft simulator with trades, Buffalo turns those three picks into two, which seems perfectly on-brand for […]

The NFL franchise tag window is now open, and the free agency “legal tampering period” starts on March 10. So, teams are starting to put their 2025 plans into action as the offseason starts in earnest. For the Minnesota Vikings, that may mean locking up failed former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to a […]

For the Cleveland Browns, having one controversial quarterback may not be enough. Despite still owing Deshaun Watson $92 million over the next two years, rumors are that the Browns may be kicking the tires on Aaron Rodgers to see if he’s a fit in case Watson misses the entire season with his Achilles injury. “People […]

The Houston Texans will have three picks in the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. With these picks, they could shore up the offensive line, add weapons to the offense, or beef up the defense. Which way will they go in April? We asked the PFF NFL mock draft simulator what the Texans […]

The Dallas Cowboys have a pick in each of the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Jerry Jones could go several ways with each one. The Cowboys have needs on both sides of the ball, but obviously, it would be the most fun for fans if Jones went all-out on offensive weapons […]

The New York Giants have three 2025 NFL Draft picks in the first three rounds. They pick third in Round 1, second in Round 2, and first in Round 3. With those three selections, the G Men should be able to get impact players who help them climb out of the NFC East basement. We […]

The Buffalo Bills have three picks in the first two rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, meaning they have a real chance of adding a trio of impactful starters for next season to improve the roster.

The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 59 as defensive end Brandon Graham earned his second NFL championship ring. What may be more impressive, though, is that as a former Michigan football player, Graham became the latest in a long line of Wolverines to take home a Lombardi Trophy. “With Brandon Graham winning his 2nd Super […]

The Seattle Seahawks had a solid first season under head coach Mike Macdonald, going 10-7 in 2024. However, that wasn’t enough to win the NFC West or make the playoffs as a Wild Card team. In Macdonald’s second offseason, the roster needs to continue to evolve, and that may mean getting rid of some key […]

The Buffalo Bills came within inches of making the Super Bowl yet again, so the truth is, they are going to run it back next season with mostly the same group they played with in 2024. However, there will be some roster movement this summer, which means a few veterans that Bills Mafia knows well […]
