Touchdowns and Tangents is a live broadcast and podcast that provides weekly NFL takes and topical tangents for football nerds, casual sports fans and the culture. Since 2015, hosts Kenneth Berry and Pete Camarillo have bodied the competition by venturing outside your normal weekly NFL news and anal…
LetsTalkAboutItChris Johnson revealed that he has ALS. The former Titans star publicly announced the diagnosis June 29 and said doctors believe he has sporadic ALS. Tennessee has since supported Johnson's effort to revive the Ice Bucket Challenge and will honor him in its Ring of Honor. This is bigger than football and has to lead the show.Ahman Green revealed an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis. The Packers' all-time leading rusher said he was diagnosed in January 2025 after initially noticing symptoms during sleep. Green said he remains optimistic and is managing the condition through medication, exercise and diet.Deebo Samuel is returning to the 49ers. San Francisco reunited with its former playmaker on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million as the organization deals with uncertainty throughout its receiver room.Tampa Bay's contract situation is becoming a full organizational problem. Baker Mayfield says he feels undervalued after extension talks stalled, while Vita Vea has requested a trade and is drawing substantial interest. Two of the team's most important leaders entering camp are publicly unhappy.The Eagles reset the defensive tackle market for Jalen Carter. Philadelphia reportedly gave Carter a four-year, $152 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.Aaron Donald comeback speculation is real enough to discuss. Donald has resumed on-field work, Sean McVay has not exactly shut down the conversation and Myles Garrett has openly entertained what the pairing could accomplish for the Rams.Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers remain headed toward an ugly ending. Aiyuk has publicly aired grievances, repeatedly connected himself to Washington and reportedly allowed communication with the Commanders to fall “off the track.”Aaron Rodgers says 2026 is his final season. Rodgers returned to play for Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh but says there is “zero debate” about another season in 2027.CollegeFootballNewsThe 2027 quarterback evaluation cycle is underway. Oregon's Dante Moore is already receiving comparisons to C.J. Stroud, while Darian Mensah has reportedly generated legitimate franchise-quarterback evaluations from scouts.Brendan Sorsby has made the supplemental draft relevant again. Dallas reportedly viewed the former Texas Tech quarterback as a developmental option, and his availability has created a real discussion about whether teams should spend future draft capital this summer.The next running-back class is beginning to form. Early rankings and breakout lists are already moving the conversation away from the completed 2026 draft and toward which college runners can emerge during the upcoming season.Rookie evaluations are finally moving from draft grades to football. Fernando Mendoza has signed his deal with the Raiders, Ty Simpson is under contract with the Rams and players such as Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are entering camp with immediate expectations.TakeOrTangentThe football cost may be showing up years after retirement. Johnson and Green played the same position during an era that celebrated running backs absorbing extreme physical punishment. Their diagnoses can lead into a deep discussion about neurological health, player care and what the league owes retired players—or simply a moment appreciating both careers.Can Deebo Samuel actually recreate the old magic in San Francisco? The surface conversation is whether he helps the receiving corps. The deeper tangent is whether returning to a familiar coach and system can reverse years of physical decline and organizational tension.Would Aaron Donald's return make the Rams unfair or merely famous? Donald, Garrett and the Rams' upgraded secondary look terrifying on paper. The tangent is whether a retired interior lineman can return directly to championship-level football conditioning.Why are teams extending defensive stars earlier than quarterbacks? Philadelphia moved decisively with Carter, while Tampa allowed both the Mayfield and Vea situations to become public. Is defensive value becoming easier for teams to price, or are quarterbacks simply asking for numbers teams no longer want to guarantee?Is Pittsburgh protecting Aaron Rodgers or changing its identity? Mike McCarthy eliminated live tackling from training-camp drills in his first year replacing Mike Tomlin. That can be a simple injury-prevention story or a larger conversation about whether the Steelers are no longer interested in performing toughness for tradition's sake.TouchdownOrTurnoverDeebo back to San Francisco on a one-year deal.The Eagles paying Jalen Carter before his leverage grows further.The Rams encouraging an Aaron Donald comeback.Rodgers announcing his retirement plans before the season.The Saints giving Chris Olave four years and $132 million.Cleveland making Denzel Ward the NFL's highest-paid defensive back again.The Browns extending Grant Delpit for three years and $48 million.Tampa refusing to meet Baker Mayfield's current valuation.Indianapolis refusing to trade Anthony Richardson cheaply despite his reported request to leave.The Rams drafting Ty Simpson rather than spending that first-rounder on immediate help.The NFL reducing the gap between the combine and free agency to one day beginning in 2027.FairOrFadeBrandon Aiyuk versus the 49ers: Aiyuk has taken his complaints to social media, pitched himself to Washington and continued escalating the split publicly. Is he fairly exposing how San Francisco handled him, or trying too hard to manufacture his preferred exit?Baker Mayfield versus the Buccaneers: Mayfield says the organization's offers made him feel disrespected and undervalued. Is that fair after what he has done for Tampa, or should the team be cautious about committing approximately $50 million annually?Vita Vea versus the Buccaneers: Vea requested a trade after unsuccessful contract efforts, and Mayfield publicly supported him. Is this a player correctly using his remaining leverage, or a veteran trying to force Tampa into paying for past production?Josh Allen versus critics of Buffalo's Nickel City uniforms: Allen told people to stop hating on the new alternates. Fair defense of a fresh look, or fade because the uniforms really are that bad?Ja'Marr Chase versus his own teammates: Chase ripped off and threw a teammate's helmet during a camp confrontation, then framed the incident as the competitiveness he wants from the defensive backs. Fair football intensity, or an unnecessary escalation from a team leader?Trey McBride versus Cardinals fans: McBride walked back his previous claim that there are “no Arizona fans in Arizona.” Was the original comment an honest observation, or disrespect toward a fan base already tired of being mocked?
