Summary

NFL rumors ignite as league execs forecast dramatic moves for 2026—could Lamar Jackson be on the trading block, A.J. Brown join the Buffalo Bills, or Malik Willis become the Miami Dolphins’ next quarterback? Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs break down Jeremy Fowler’s bold predictions, evaluating the chances of blockbuster trades, franchise tags, and quarterback shakeups that could reshape teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Las Vegas Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons. Key storylines include the soaring market value of top wide receivers, tough questions about aging stars, and cap-space crunches facing contenders such as the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. The episode dives into franchise tag dilemmas for Kyle Pitts and George Pickens, assesses Indy’s shot at the AFC South crown, and debates which quarterbacks—Geno Smith, Tua Tagovailoa, or Kyler Murray—might headline the New York Jets’ next campaign. Can your team make the splash it needs to contend?

They never happen to you? You get the crows? No, no crows, no. Makes me think of Robert Salas' speech on hard knocks to the jets about the crows pecking on the eagle's backs. This is fitting, right? Like, Salli got hired on Monday. You don't even know that speech because you know why. I have no idea what you're talking about. The only bird that attacks an eagle is a crow. And the eagle, all he does is he flaps his wings and he soars as high as he can because they can fly higher than any other bird. Yeah, I'm familiar with that part. Yeah.
