3) Cornerback Riq Woolen signs with the Eagles. The deal: One year, up to $15 million. The Eagles spent much of last season trying to find a solution at their second outside corner spot. They\u2019ve found their answer for 2026. With the market seemingly cooler on Woolen than expected (at least, that\u2019s what I\u2019m assuming based on this contract), the Eagles were there to strike with a one-year deal. Woolen is fascinating because he is not widely considered to be among the game\u2019s top cornerbacks, but his numbers are right there with the best. Over the past four seasons, among outside corners with at least 500 coverage snaps, do you know who allowed the fewest yards per coverage snap? Woolen, at 0.7, one spot ahead of new teammate Quinyon Mitchell and two spots ahead of 2024 Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II. And yet Woolen has been benched multiple times and shared work with Josh Jobe at times last season. Woolen has moments where it goes wrong \u2014 such as in Week 1, when he was beaten badly by Ricky Pearsall for a 45-yard gain on the 49ers\u2019 final drive before allowing the game-winning touchdown, or when he committed an almost-cataclysmic taunting penalty in the NFC Championship Game ahead of what would have been a fourth-and-12. To that last point, Woolen\u2019s penalty rate is high (0.8% over his career, which ranks in the 80th percentile) but not disqualifying. Ultimately, it\u2019s hard to argue against Woolen\u2019s results.<\/p>\n
Pick 1.23: Omar Cooper Junior, Wide Receiver, Indiana. Don\u2019t overthink this. Even with the Hollywood Brown addition, the Eagles need a long term receiver to pair with DeVonta Smith. That player is not on the roster. Even in a world where AJ Brown plays one more year in Philly, the Eagles should not pass up on the opportunity to draft a player like Omar Cooper. Cooper would give the Eagles an inside\/outside receiver with playmaking speed and a great toughness on the field. He would be a dynamic addition to what will be a very different looking offense in 2026. In my opinion, the Eagles should be loading up on weapons to give Jalen Hurts and Sean Mannion maximum firepower in this do or die season.<\/p>\n
\u201cJihaad can be great,\u201d Dean said. \u201cYou\u2019re talking about somebody who was probably on track to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. But that\u2019s what you expected. And he\u2019s close to home, so it\u2019s his team too. He had a lot of expectations definitely being a first round pick and everything. And I feel like now that he\u2019ll have that role to be hisself and to play the ball that he needs to play, the sky is the limit for him. You\u2019re talking about a guy who\u2019s got the size, the ability to do everything on the field from the linebacker position, from covering, to blitzing, to stopping the run. He\u2019s a three-down linebacker. He can do it all. He\u2019s going to be great for sure, and he\u2019s got a crazy work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Team USA crushed Brady\u2019s Founders FFC 43-16 after dismantling Joe Burrow\u2019s Wildcats FFC squad 39-16. Burrow, Jayden Daniels, Saquon Barkley and the Wildcats then eliminated Brady, Hurts and the Founders from the round-robin tournament with a 34-26 victory. The Founders kept it closer in the championship game but Team USA pulled away 24-14. The national team couldn\u2019t be stopped on offense in three games, scoring on every possession except a kneel-down at the end of one victory.<\/p>\n
After all that, plus other moves that quietly helped the team, we asked you to grade the offseason so far.A majority (53%) gave it a \u2018B\u2019 while another large chunk of fans gave it a \u2018C\u2019 (33%). So 86% of fans gave the Cowboys a mid-level B-C grade. Not bad, but not exactly the \u2018bust the budget\u2019 performance Jerry Jones promised. If the Maxx Crosby deal had happened, we might have been looking at a different grade.<\/p>\n
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo took to Instagram on Saturday to apologize for recent remarks calling CTE as an \u201cexcuse\u201d and labeling asthma as \u201cfake.\u201d<\/p>\n
To begin, the 2026 free agency class was one of the worst ever, in my opinion, and there were a bunch of teams who paid a lot of ordinary players extraordinary money. One of those teams was the Commanders, for example, who we\u2019ll get to soon enough. However, this year I thought the Giants did a really nice job of picking some spots where they could improve their roster \u2014 notably at tight end, linebacker, and on special teams \u2014 and not have to wildly overpay to do so. They also did a good job of not overpaying some of their own players who left to go play for former head coach Brian Daboll in Tennessee. I have not agreed with much of what the Giants have done in free agency, the draft, or otherwise during the Joe Schoen era. But they had a good free agency period this offseason, given what was available. Maybe Schoen wasn\u2019t in charge, and John Harbaugh was instead? That would perhaps help explain their rare moment of competency.<\/p>\n
