I randomly just got really excited about the idea of the Colts signing Malik Willis. Think they have the cap space to do it and feel like it’d be a rather simple shift of the Jones offense from last year. Plus, pairing him with JT would keep the floor of the run game very high.

2026 NFL Draft QB prospects completion percentage over expectation by how far they threw the football down the field. Capped at 40 yards because its wonky after that. Yes that is Cole Payton and NDSU you are seeing👀

A good first move for the Chiefs, but they're still $11m over the cap even with this move. Gonna take more work not only to be cap compliant but also make space to sign some free agents.

According to Trumedia, Drake Maye had the 6th-worst EPA/dropback in a Super Bowl since 2000.
Mike Macdonald masterclass.

09.02.2026 02:28 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The Seahawks defense is playing incredibly, but Maye is just straight up missing some throws, too. Timing was disrupted early and he hasn’t been the same.
