What is in store for the NFL MMXXV season?

More playoff heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills.

[Hunty2022]

It's the year of the Dallas Cowboys again.

Maybe it's time for the NFL to relocate a well-loved, historic franchise like the Dolphins to Toronto. After all, it's the "National" Football League, right???

(Roger Goodell, if you're seeing this, please don't do this. I'm not a Dolphins fan but nobody likes the Chargers in LA or the "Oakland" Raiders in Vegas.)

((Goodell probably cares more about an 18 game regular season than league expansion TBH because $$$.))

Maybe they can absorb the CFL teams, and then we'd have all four of the major pro leagues with teams north of the border!

I remember when nobody liked the L.A. Rams in St. Louis, so they were moved back to their rightful home. It may not be their original city (Cleveland is), but it's the one that makes the most sense.

On a more serious note, the league is perfect where it is now, so if I were Goodell, I would prioritize the 18-game schedule over expansion.

You can't hold cities hostage for new and improved stadiums if teams don't have options to skip town for somewhere else.

Regardless, the NFL doesn't really need more teams because so much of the revenue is based on media rights versus game attendance. And while an extra game or two a week will result in more media money, that money will need to be shared with two additional franchises. It's easier to create that revenue with an additional week - and maybe a second bye.

Anyway, I don't mind the Las Vegas Raiders. The Oakland Colesium had become a terrible NFL venue.

Having Deebo Samuel in Landover could be either fun or boring.

Perhaps the Texans can tie their franchise record 12 wins this fall (slightly less difficult schedule than last season -- slightly is the key word).

The Bears aren't messing around with Ben Johnson at the helm, trading for two guards in two days to help protect Caleb Williams.

From Bleacher Report:

Jimmy Johnson Retires from NFL on Fox Role; Won 2 Super Bowls as Cowboys HC

Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson announced Monday he's retiring from his on-air role with Fox Sports.

Johnson said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd he has contemplated stepping away from broadcasting "for the last four or five years" and decided it's the right time.

Now, all we need is Terry Bradshaw to retire as well. I like both Jimmy and Terry, but I also think that age is catching up to Terry as well.

Geno Smith has been traded from the Seahawks to the Raiders.

[Big John]

Devante Adams signs a 2-year contract with the Rams.

[Great Lakes Roads]

And the Steelers get DK Metcalf from the Seahawks...

[mgk920]

Right now I consider it way better than even that Aaron Rodgers will be out of the NFL after the current round of free agency is complete (but you never know if a team is THAT desperate for an 'experienced' quarterback).

QB Justin Fields going to the Jets for a 2-year, $40 million contract...

Mike

He's going to either Pittsburgh or the Giants.

I'll be curious what the Bears do with the 10th pick now that the O-line has gotten a good overhaul.

[JayhawkCO]

My Vikings are being very active in free agency for the interior of both the offensive and defensive lines. Also signed two corners. This is my ideal kind of free agency window. We also let Darnold walk so that we could actually afford those players. Had we signed him, most of those signings would have been impossible under the cap.

[epzik8]

Would really love to hear Kenny Pickett's honest thoughts about having to be in a QB room with Deshaun Watson.

Better be DT, DE or OT. They are pretty well set everywhere else. Need one more WR but you can get good ones in the 2nd-3rd rounds.
