Are some of the NFL's longest-tenured GMs getting too much credit — or not enough? Raymond Summerlin is joined by Patrick Daugherty (aka @RotoPat) from NBC Sports to break down the toughest NFL general managers to rank in 2025. They dive deep into the front-office mysteries of Jerry Jones (Cowboys), Jason Licht (Buccaneers), Duke Tobin (Bengals), and John Schneider (Seahawks). They explore how teams like the Cowboys, Bucs, and Bengals repeatedly flirt with greatness but fall short when it matters most. Why does Jerry Jones wait until the offensive line crumbles? Did Jason Licht actually build a Super Bowl team — or did Tom Brady? And what's going on with the Bengals' unwillingness to pay key players? Plus, in our Best Ballers segment sponsored by DraftKings, RotoPat reveals his favorite fantasy football value pick for 2025 — and why he might (finally) be all-in.
