Laurence Holmes and Anthony Herron were joined by Fox Sports reporter Carmen Vitali to share her takeaways from the NFL Combine.

The Chicago Bears are officially in NFL Combine mode.Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson meet with the media on Feb. 24, and while they won't reveal their full offseason blueprint, there could be key clues about Chicago's priorities heading into free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.Major questions loom:• Is left tackle the Bears' top offseason priority after Ozzy Trapilo's injury? • Can Chicago address BOTH defensive line and offensive line? • Will Pro Bowl CB Nahshon Wright return? • Is former Chiefs edge rusher Mike Danna now on Ryan Poles' radar? • Are the Bears preparing to go all-in for a Super Bowl run?With Chicago coming off an 11-6 season and NFC North title, this offseason is about sustaining success — not rebuilding.The 2026 season is championship or bust.

Vikings Need Defensive Youth: Linebacker Outlook, Combine Questions, and Tribute to Rondale Moore — Dave and Darren react to Team USA beating Canada for Olympic hockey gold, then shift to Vikings offseason topics as the NFL Combine begins. They emphasize the defense is aging (including Harrison Smith, Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Andrew Van Ginkel, Eric Wilson, and Blake Cashman nearing 30) and argue Minnesota should use its four top-100 picks in the 2026 draft to add young, cheap defensive talent. They review the linebacker groups: the Van Ginkel–Greenard–Dallas Turner edge trio is strong but lacks proven depth, while inside linebacker is stable with Cashman but hinges on whether the Vikings re-sign free agent Eric Wilson or replace him via free agency/draft amid broader depth concerns. They question why Kevin O'Connell and Rob Brzezinski are not scheduled for national podium sessions at the Combine, suggesting the team may be controlling exposure to tough questions. They also note combine-week rumor areas to watch (QB chatter, Jordan Addison trade buzz, and Maxx Crosby possibly landing with NFC North rivals). The episode ends with a tribute to Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore, who was found dead at 25 in Indiana, later reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and a message encouraging people to check in on others. 00:00 USA Wins Olympic Hockey Gold + Show Kickoff 00:20 NFL Combine Week & Vikings Defense Aging Problem 03:59 Theme 1: Getting Younger — Why 2026 Draft Could Be Defense-Heavy 15:43 Do the Vikings Need to Draft Safety/CB Early?

The Chicago Bears are entering the 2026 offseason after an 11-6 season, NFC North title, and their first playoff win in 15 years under head coach Ben Johnson. But there's still work to do — especially on defense.In this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the state of the Bears linebacker position heading into free agency and the draft. With injuries to T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds, the depth was tested in 2025. D'Marco Jackson emerged as a key contributor, while Noah Sewell struggled to secure a consistent role.Should Ryan Poles move on from Edmunds? Is D'Marco Jackson locked into the future? Do the Bears need to draft a linebacker in 2026?Plus:Adam Schefter's report on expanded draft pick trade limitsCould that open the door for a Maxx Crosby or Trey Hendrickson deal?Why this Bears offseason feels “quiet-ish” — and why that's a GOOD thingCoaching staff updates and what it means for Ben Johnson & Caleb WilliamsThe Bears are stable. The culture is set. Now it's about sustaining success.Bear Down.

The 2026 Chicago Bears offseason is officially underway — and the pressure is on.After an 11-6 season, NFC North title, and a playoff win under head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears now face their toughest challenge yet. Chicago has 27 pending free agents, is projected to be $5.3 million over the salary cap, and enters 2026 with the hardest strength of schedule in the NFL (.550).In this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down:Which free agents must be re-signed (Kevin Byard? Jaquan Brisker? Nahshon Wright?)The Bears' current salary cap situationA full look at the 2026 opponentsWhy Super Bowl LX made one need painfully obvious: PASS RUSHShould Ryan Poles pursue Trey Hendrickson, Maxx Crosby, or draft an edge?The Bears are officially in contender territory. Now the margin for error is gone.Bear Down.

Super Bowl Eve Spotlight: Why Max Crosby On Super Bowl eve, the Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on Max Crosby as the most polarizing offseason swing. The chatter is not just in Detroit. The Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots, and Falcons have all been mentioned as alleged suitors. Crosby is 28, from Lapeer, Michigan, and came out of Eastern Michigan. He wins with power to speed, has some bend, and never stops. He is comfortable standing up, but he is better with his hand in the dirt. The case is rooted in run defense. The show framed Crosby as the best run-defending edge in football among the elite pass rushers. He owns two of the top ten seasons in NFL history for tackles for loss, in 2022 and 2023. That production sets an edge and closes lanes. It also travels to January. Sacks, TFLs, and Reality Check Crosby's sack totals do not always match his reputation. He had 10 this past season. He posted 7.5 in only 12 games in 2024. His peak was 14.5 in 2023, when he earned first-team All-Pro and piled up 23 tackles for loss. The Raiders have not consistently fielded another threatening rusher opposite him, which has amplified his workload and attention. That profile matters for the Detroit Lions. Pair Crosby with Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill. Add Tyreek Williams, who quietly played well down the stretch, with Jack Campbell behind them. That front four controls tempo. It lets a defense rush with four, squeeze gaps, and dictate drives. The show pointed to the Houston Texans as proof of concept, noting how they almost never blitzed and still dominated both of their playoff games. Turnovers, not defense, flipped those outcomes. The All-In Price Tag There is a catch. Acquisition cost and opportunity cost headline the downside. This is an all-in move. The hypothetical package discussed mirrored the price “Green Bay” paid to get Micah Parsons: two firsts and a third. In this scenario, the Lions send their first this year and next, plus next year's third because they do not have a third this year. To balance that, the Raiders send back their pick at the top of the second round this year, sliding Detroit from pick 17 to around 33 or 34. The Lions would still keep their own second. A 2025 fourth this year may need to be added to make the math work. The upside is obvious. Crosby beside Hutchinson could make the Detroit Lions the NFC North favorite and a top seed contender. The risk is just as clear. Two firsts and more means fewer swings at premium talent, fewer cheap starters, and less flexibility if injuries hit. The debate is simple. How much is one of the NFL's most complete edges worth to a roster already built to win? #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #maxcrosby #aidanhutchinson #alimmcneill #tyreekwilliams #jackcampbell #rundefendingedge #tacklesforloss #fourmanrush #almostneverblitz #twofirstroundpicksandathird Learn more about your ad choices.

This isn't just any hire—Pauley is a rising star who interviewed for the 49ers offensive coordinator job last year, developed multiple high draft picks including Jayden Higgins and Jalen Knoll, and perhaps most importantly, coached Christian Watson at North Dakota State from 2019-2022. As a Minnesota native who grew up a Packers fan, Pauley brings both elite credentials and genuine passion for the green and gold. In this episode, we break down why this coaching change signals the front office's willingness to make bold moves when necessary, explore the potential impact on Watson's development and Matthew Golden's playing time, and discuss whether this hire indicates deeper frustrations with receiver development. We also cover extensive NFL news including the Eagles' continued organizational chaos with AJ Brown trade speculation intensifying, international games coming to Melbourne and Rio, Super Bowl injury updates, and the media industry's massive layoffs at the Washington Post. Plus, we examine free agency targets across the league, NFC North coaching changes, and why watching divisional rivals implode might be the best part of the offseason. Whether you're excited about Pauley's track record with Watson or skeptical about another coaching shuffle, this hire represents a clear departure from business as usual in Green Bay.

The NFL salary cap is set to clear $301 million. That surge changes the Detroit Lions math. Default figures still place the Lions a few million over, as with the rest of the NFC North, but routine moves and rollover can flip the ledger fast. The Detroit Lions Podcast drills into who and what unlocks space, and how it shapes spring decisions. Cap Surge Reshapes Detroit's Options League guidance pegs the 2026 cap north of $301 million, with projections ranging from about $301.2 million to $305.7 million. Five seasons ago it sat near $208 million. Revenue is up. So are choices. On default calculations, the Lions sit roughly $7.65 million over. There is a straightforward release or restructure lever at guard. Moving on from Graham Glasgow would free about $5.56 million. If he returns, it should be in a supporting role, not at a starter's rate. Restructure pathways also exist, including converting portions of Jared Goff's money into guarantees to smooth the hit. The menu is familiar. The new cap ceiling makes each option more palatable. David Montgomery remains a core piece. The expectation here is that he stays. The bigger picture is flexibility. Detroit can clear room without gutting its identity. Roster Decisions: Glasgow, Anzalone, Raymond The higher cap improves odds for continuity on defense. Bringing back linebacker Alex Anzalone is more feasible now. He handled the defensive calls, played well last season, and stayed on the field. Keeping the ringleader in the middle adds stability as the Lions push for more in the NFL postseason. Kalif Raymond is a pending free agent. He has been the No. 4 wide receiver and a trusted returner. Detroit drafted Dominic Lovett as a projected successor, but Lovett did not see the field on offense. If Raymond is open to returning as a primary return specialist, that path aligns with an offense that leans into two wide receivers and two tight ends. Glasgow remains the cleanest cap lever. If not released, a pay cut or restructure fits. Either way, the cap jump gives Detroit Lions decision-makers a buffer to keep preferred pieces together. QB2 and Coaching Notes The cap rise also eases a practical question at quarterback. Retaining Kyle Allen as the backup in the $3 million range makes sense. He was solid last summer and looked better than his prior tape suggested. Coaching movement around the NFL has settled at the top, but Detroit still needs a tight ends coach. Dan Skipper is a sensible in-house option. He logged more than 400 snaps as an extra offensive lineman in heavy packages and knows the operation. He could also slot as an offensive assistant if that's the better fit. There is talk out of Chicago that JT Barrett could become offensive coordinator under Ben Johnson. Chicago moved on from its OC and is surveying options. For the Lions, the immediate task is simple. Leverage the cap windfall, lock in key voices, and keep the program's rhythm intact. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionssalarycap #nflcap301million #grahamglasgowsalary #zionyoung #danskipper #jtbarrett #tannerengstrand Learn more about your ad choices.
