Kara Durrette/Getty Images Rams GM Les Snead doesn’t think Kyren Williams has dropped the ball Kyren Williams rushed for a career-high 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024 and GM Les Snead has already conceded a little bit of negotiating power by letting the media know that an extension is likely to happen this offseason. “I think that’s something that’s going to be on the plate,” Snead said, via the team’s website. “He would be someone that after three years you could begin discussing, let’s call it, renegotiating, starting anew. Because I do think Kyren is someone who is a Ram and has a very impactful role for us.” Williams has been productive as L.A.’s starting running back over the past two seasons, but is also tied for the most fumbles by a running back in that same period of time: 8. Only Austin Ekeler, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Breece Hall have fumbled that many times since the start of 2023. Williams also fumbled in the Rams division loss to the Eagles and he had another in the wild card win over the Vikings, but it wasn’t reviewed because Puka Nacua recovered. Stevenson is a good comp for a potential contract extension. The Patriots gave Stevenson a four-year, $36 million contract before the 2024 season, averaging $9 million per year with $17 million fully guaranteed. Stevenson has a cap hit of $5.5 million in 2025 and $7.6 million in 2026, so those are roughly the cap numbers we could expect for Williams in 2026 and 2027 if he is extended.
Rams endorse Kyren Williams as future at running back
Grade the Detroit Lions’ hire Kelvin Sheppard as defensive coordinator
Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images Handing out a grade of the Detroit Lions’ decision to hire Kelvin Sheppard as their next defensive coordinator. After Saturday’s question, it was pretty obvious what my Question of the Day was going to be for Sunday. However, the Detroit Lions spoiled that opportunity by promoting linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to the defensive coordinator vacancy left by Aaron Glenn’s departure to the New York Jets. It wasn’t a completely surprising decision by the Lions. Sheppard has been one of Detroit’s standout coaches over the past few years. Not only does he command the room with a great sense of leadership, but his work with the Lions’ linebacker room has produced the best play we’ve seen from that group in several years. But based on a sampling of fans from social media on Saturday, not everyone is thrilled by this decision. So today’s Question of the Day: Do you approve of Kelvin Sheppard getting the Lions’ defensive coordinator job? My answer: Yes, but… I am extremely happy for Sheppard. I think he’s done everything he possibly could to deserve consideration for this job. What he’s done with the likes of Alex Anzalone, Jack Campbell, Malcolm Rodriguez, and the rest of Detroit’s linebacking crew is undeniable. And as I’ve been saying since Sheppard first took the podium in front of media, he has that “it” factor to be a head coach one day. Perhaps the biggest reason I’m in favor of this hiring is because of what Glenn said last month. “Having Shep there with me, he’s been there from the beginning, and he knows exactly how I think—exactly,” Glenn said. “And that’s a guy that I’ve been actually mentoring to be in the DC role at some point. I think he’s damn near close, if not there, to be ready to do that. He’s a damn good coach.” Coach Dan Campbell said they don’t want to stray much from their overall philosophy and verbiage, which makes Sheppard the perfect candidate for the job. However, I’ll admit I was looking forward to seeing an outsider get the job. I know the defense has been struggling for four years mainly because of talent—too young the first three years and too injury this past season. But it also feels like they could use some fresh eyes on the defense to bring more ideas to the table. I would have even preferred someone like former Saints defensive coordinator (and head coach) Dennis Allen. He likely would have brought a very similar system to what the Lions have, but would have his own spin on things and have new ideas for Detroit’s roster—plus he’d bring four years of previous defensive coordinator experience to the table. Maybe he was never on the table, with Ben Johnson reportedly luring him to Chicago. One of the things Campbell has been great at since taking over is convincing good coaches to come to Detroit. Look no further than their defensive line coach hiring of Kacy Rodgers, who had interest from both the Packers and Buccaneers. But instead of landing a coveted defensive coordinator, Detroit went back to their own well. Sheppard has a chance to succeed, but he’ll be calling plays for the first time in his career and that’s a big ask for a 2025 season that will come with the highest of expectations. Still, I’m ultimately in favor of this, because this is how good organizations should work. Succession plans should be made for when it is time for their coordinators to leave, and it’s good business to promote from within. It’s clear Detroit has been planning for Glenn’s departure for at least a year now, and I’m confident Sheppard is up for the challenge. I give the Lions a B+ grade for the hire. What do you think? Vote in the poll below and then share your reasoning in the comment section below.
Fixing the Giants, Part 1: Cap space, draft picks, needs, free agents
We take stock of where the Giants are entering the offseason as we begin laying out a plan for trying to build the 2025 team Because we know New York Giants GM Joe Schoen is a voracious reader of Big Blue View and loves to solicit ideas for how to do his job from would-be GMs on the Internet, it is time to put forth some thoughts on how to build the 2025 Giants. This will be done in multiple parts. We start with a simple overview of the salary cap and draft capital available, team needs and Giants free agents. Salary cap space To start with, a reminder that the salary cap is always fluid. We do not know what the cap for the 2025 season will be. It is projected to be $272.5 million, with the Giants having $43.38 million to spend. Twelve teams are projected to have more available cap space. If the Giants wanted to, they could work their way to nearly $100 million in cap space on that projected $272.5 million cap with ultra-aggressive use of cuts and contract restructures. I don’t think they would go to this extent, but here is what they could do and how much each move would save. We will use the Cap Calculator at Over The Cap for our numbers. Cuts PK Graham Gano (pre-June 1 cut cap savings $3.165M | post-June 1 cut savings $4.415M). For our purposes, we will consider him a post-June 1 cut. DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (pre-June 1 cut cap savings ($3.6M). Those two moves would bring the Giants to $51.395 million in cap space. Restructures For our purposes, I will use the maximum restructure allowed for each of the players listed below. Edge Brian Burns (2025 cap number $29.75M | Cap number after restructure | $13.565M | Cap savings $16.185M) DT Dexter Lawrence (2025 cap number $23.840M | Cap number after restructure $13.581M | Cap savings $9.886M) OT Andrew Thomas (2025 cap number $21.087M | Cap number after restructure $8.351M | Cap savings $12.584M) LB Bobby Okereke (2025 cap number $14.463M | Cap number after restructure $10.548M | Cap savings $3.915M) G Jon Runyan (2025 cap number $11.75M | Cap number after restructure $7.710M | Cap savings $4.04M) Those moves would push the Giants to $98.531 million in projected cap space. Each of those moves, of course, kicks money into the future. The more aggressive the moves, the more future cap space is eaten up. I certainly don’t think the Giants should do all of that. Would it surprise me if they make at least a couple of moves to add some cap space? Not at all. Draft capital The Giants’ current draft picks are as follows: Round 1 (No. 3) Round 2 (No. 34) Round 3 (No. 65) Round 4 (No. 103) Round 4 (No. 133 — Compensatory/projected) Round 5 (No. 154) Round 7 (No. 220) Round 7 (No. 247) The projected compensatory pick would be for losing Xavier McKinney to the Green Bay Packers. There is still a possibility of an additional third-round pick in 2025 and 2026 if offensive coordinator Mike Kafka gets the New Orleans Saints head-coaching job because Kafka’s grandparents are Puerto Rican, qualifying him as a minority. Team needs Quarterback is the biggest one, of course, and we have already spent a lot of time on it: Sign one? Draft one? Phil Simms says New York Giants need to do both in quarterback hunt At least one Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback might not be available to New York Giants Is Russell Wilson the right bridge quarterback for the New York Giants? 6 bridge quarterback options for New York Giants There are plenty of other positions on the roster that need to be addressed. Among them: Defensive line, cornerback, safety, edge depth if Azeez Ojulari leaves, offensive line (right guard and depth), wide receiver — especially if Darius Slayton leaves in free agency. As we work our the plan we will address each of these. Giants free agents Unrestricted free agents WR Darius Slayton | Should Slayton stay or go?QB Drew Lock | Should Lock stay or go?LB Isaiah Simmons | Should Simmons stay or go?P Jamie Gillan | Should Gillan stay or go?G Greg Van Roten | Should Van Roten stay or go?CB Adoree’ Jackson | Should Jackson stay or go?Edge Azeez Ojulari | Should Ojulari stay or go?TE Chris Manhertz | Should Manhertz stay or go?LS Casey KreiterG Aaron StinnieLB Matthew AdamsT Chris HubbardS Elijah RileyLB Ty SummersDT Armon WattsQB Tim BoyleWR/KR Gunner OlszewskiCB Greg StromanWR/KR Ihmir Smith-Marsette | Should Smith-Marsette stay or go?S Jason Pinnock | Should Pinnock stay or go?Edge Patrick Johnson Restricted free agents DL Timmy Horne Exclusive rights free agents LB Dyontae JohnsonQB Tommy DeVitoEdge Tomon FoxCB Divaad WilsonS Jonathan Sutherland
Colts Richardson needs more than biometrics to thrive in 2025
Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images It will help but other conerns linger. The Indianapolis Colts are looking to get their quarterback the help he needs going into the 2025 season. Anthony Richardson will be working with Chris Hess who uses biometrics to help athletes improve their abilities and reach their maximum potential. Richardson certainly needs to improve statistically. His accuracy was a focal point of most broadcasts, and the good news is that it should only go up. Working with someone like Hess can only help. The question I have is whether it will be enough for Richardson to take the leap he needs to in year three. Throwing motion, accuracy, etc. are all vitally important for any NFL quarterback. Stampede Blue’s own, Noah Compton, broke it down showing some of the similarities between Richardson and Buffalo’s Josh Allen who also worked with Hess. His analysis shows that a statistical leap for Richardson is certainly a reality after working with the biometric guro. I don’t doubt this aspect. I doubt Richardson’s ability to stay healthy enough to put those lessons into play. His first year was a disaster, but it could be chalked up to bad luck. Missing the vast majority of the season with a concussion and shoulder injury was concerning but not alarming because injuries happen to the best of them. Fast-forward to year two and we saw Richardson miss even more time. Exiting early in the Steelers game, he was knocked out of action for the next two. He was then unable to complete the season, missing the final two. The track record regarding injuries has now entered concerning territory. If he can’t stay healthy, it won’t matter how well he can throw a football. The concerns don’t stop there. Richardson was benched midway through the year. While it was kept close to the vest by the team, reports are there were concerns about Richardson’s maturity and commitment to excellence. Whether quarterbacks want to be or not, they are generally looked to as leaders on the team. Having one benched for these reasons is a bad look. The positive is that Richardson seemed to respond well to the benching, and the Colts were willing to give him another chance. Perhaps, if he can fix his mechanics it will lead to wins, and winning tends to fix a lot of things. Without those wins, however, we could see more maturity issues from the young player. It is good to hear that Anthony Richardson will be working to improve this offseason in a similar manner to a player he is compared to a lot. Josh Allen had his own issues on the field but was able to turn it around and is now playing in the AFC Championship. He has turned into one of the best in the game. If Ricahrdson can tweak his game and make those improvements, I thoroughly expect a leap. He just has to stay on the field and lean into his leadership role. Put it all together and we could see something special.

Colts coaching staff continues to be well represented at upcoming Senior Bowl
Photo by Michael Wade/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Colts should have an ‘up close and personal look’ at some of the Senior Bowl’s top prospects with their coaching staff actively participating this year. The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff will be well-represented at this year’s upcoming Senior Bowl as Kalon Humphries (linebackers/edge for American Team), Brent Jackson (defensive backs for American Team), Matt Raich (defensive coordinator for American Team), Chris Watt (tight ends coach for National Team) are all participating on behalf of the Horseshoe. Colts longtime general manager Chris Ballard has been no stranger to drafting ‘Senior Bowl standouts’ in the past, including Tanor Bortolini, Kylen Granson, Laiatu Latu, Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr., and Bernhard Raimann among others. Not to mention, former Colts’ All-Pro linebacker Darius ‘Shaq’ Leonard remains one of the biggest gems of his ongoing tenure. Claimed corner Kenny Moore II also previously participated in the Senior Bowl. It could give the Colts scouting department a much closer and personal level look at some of the event’s talented prospects this year—which could pay off come draft weekend and even priority undrafted rookie free agent signings. In particular, the Colts could be eyeing the tight end position, as well as improving their defense collectively with potential upgrades at pass rusher, linebacker, and their secondary—especially with new veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in need of better ‘horses.’ In that regard, some of these Colts coaches are opportunistically placed for Indianapolis. It’s also a unique opportunity for some of these Colts coaches to coach position groups or be elevated to coaching roles that they currently are not for Indianapolis. If nothing else, it adds a little intrigue for the Colts come Senior Bowl week (February 1st) in Mobile, Alabama.
Mailbag: Who could Carroll target at offensive and defensive coordinator?
Pete Carroll | Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Returning Raider Nation’s questions for the week. It was a busy week in the offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders as John Spytek was named general manager shortly before Pete Carroll filled the head coach vacancy. Now, the next step is to fill out the rest of the coaching staff, including the offensive and defensive coordinators, which is the focus of this week’s mailbag. Q: Who could be young up-and-coming candidates, with or without prior connection to Carroll, for both coordinator spots? Please don’t hire Gus Bradley. A: The guy I’d like to see the Raiders go after as offensive coordinator is Bobby Slowik. He’s someone I thought might be in consideration for the head coach job since he was getting interviews at this time last year, and I think the Texans overreacted by firing him. Slowik had a lot of success working with C.J. Stroud as a rookie, comes from the Shanahan/McVay coaching tree and could be the coach Carroll molds to eventually take over. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any direct connections to Carroll, but Carroll’s last OC hire in Seattle was Shane Waldron, who also stems from the Shanahan/McVay tree. Defensively, I don’t think you have to worry too much about Bradley, lol. While Bradley does have ties to Carroll, the Seahawks started running more of a Vic Fangio-style defense at the end of Carroll’s tenure. A couple of names to look out for are Clint Hurtt and Sean Desai After working for Fangio in Chicago, Hurtt was the DC in Seattle during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns and currently is the Eagles’ defensive line coach. Desai also worked for Fangio with the Bears and spent 2023 as the DC in Philly. That didn’t work out but he was Carroll’s assistant head coach in 2022 and could get a second chance at calling the defense in Las Vegas. Q: If a quarterback doesn’t fall and the Raiders go offense, do you think using the sixth pick on Ashton Jeanty is a good idea, or given the depth of this RB class or would Tetairoa McMillan be a smarter option if they’re both available? Photo by Bruce Yeung/Getty ImagesTetairoa McMillan A: Between those two options, I’d lean toward McMillan. I worry about how much tread Jeanty has left after getting 830 touches in three years at Boise State, so I think the wideout would be a better long-term option. With a top-10, nearly top-five pick, I’d prefer to have someone who has more future value and McMillan is an excellent receiver in a thin class at the position while running back is a deep position group. Q: Do you believe it is in the Raiders’ best interest this year to prioritize signing their own free agents to maintain continuity, sign other teams’ free agents on the market to fill existing gaps on the team, or use their cap assets equally between their own free agents and those from other teams? A: I’d definitely prioritize re-signing Tre’von Moehrig and would like to see Malcolm Koonce get a short-term “prove-it” type of deal. Nate Hobbs would be next in line for me, but his recent injury history gives me some pause. Outside of those three and maybe Robert Spillane, it’d be better to target other team’s free agents to help fill the holes on the roster. MichaelMatto BW mentioned that Spytek might want to bring Kyle Trask along with him… he battled Mayfield for the starting job and lost… He was a 2nd round pick, decent upside, good deep ball, but found himself stuck behind the GOAT and now Mayfield. His contract seems to be up–how would you feel about him coming in to compete with AOC? Kinda feel like any QB we get that is not Ward/Sanders is gonna need to be a hidden gem that someone guesses right on. If Spytek likes him… why not? A: I believe Bill brought that up because he saw my tweet about it, lol. So, yes, I’d be interested in bringing Kyle Trask in to at least compete for the starting job. Unfortunately, he barely has any regular-season experience after playing behind Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield. But I’m planning on diving into some preseason tape on Kyle Trask soon—and will have an article on it—to get an idea of what he could bring to the table. Trask shouldn’t be anointed the starting job, but he could be a cheap option to kick the tires on in a weak free agent and draft class. Dafe2cat Now that we know Spytek is the GM, what do you think his main goal will be? Try to find a QB in this weak class ( both draft and FA ) or fill other holes his first year? A: I did a deeper dive into this a few days ago, looking into John Spytek’s history at acquiring quarterbacks. He’s used the draft and free agency to address the position in the past and has had more success with free agents. So, I think Spytek will probably take a flier on someone like Trask in free agency and prioritize filling out the rest of the roster in the draft unless Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders falls to No. 6. Anytime the team needs a quarterback, the general manager has to at least address the position to give the team a chance to win because the position is just too important. It doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment right away, but completely ignoring the need would be malpractice. With that, I wouldn’t be surprised if Spytek ends up drafting a project quarterback in the second or third round either, assuming he doesn’t take Ward or Sanders first. Q: Who is primarily responsible for calling out offensive line coverages at the line of scrimmage, quarterback or center? The Raiders seem to have an inordinate number of free defenders rushing in all the time. Shouldn’t the quarterback be audibling to another

Your Conference Championship & Super Bowl Picks
Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images With the Conference Championship games tomorrow and the Super Bowl two weeks and a day away, I asked the following question this past week: Which teams will win this weekend to advance to the Super Bowl, and who will ultimately win the whole thing in February? Below are some of your thoughts and answers- DolphinsKings1 believes the fix is in. Last weekend’s game did little to help the NFL’s argument that it’s false. Eagles and Chiefs win. Chiefs win 3rd straight. The NFL wants it that way. cyberflea has a Washington/Kansas City Super Bowl. Philly is the better team. Washington is the hotter team. I’d feel better about this if I knew who was going to have the ball last, but I just have a feeling about Washington. One of these days, the Bills may beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. But until it happens, I’m picking the Chiefs. Dolfanjoe sees the Commanders having their third upset in a row and the Chiefs finally going down. Washington already disappointed the NFL with a very nice victory ! I hope they can repeat this week ! I would not put Buffaloe out of this matchup whatsoever ! The Refs should fear for there lives this week ! Going with Buf. and Washington with the upset. Hopefully two clean non Ref. betting line games. Bill Moody is on the Bills bandwagon/train/whatever you call it. I’m all aboard the Buffalo train… The only team to legitimately beat the Chiefs this season. Don’t skewer me, but I am a big Josh Allen fan… Mostly from my Dynasty Fantasy Team, but he also seems like a good dude. Also, for the Buffalo Fan Base… We all know there are some annoying mouthy ones, most of us have that one friend, but by and large, they are a passionate fanbase, not only for their team, but also supporting other teams and their fanbases charities when they are down. I know we are rivals, and I’m picking the Dolphins over the Bills every time, but with no Dolphins, I’d like to see the Bills cap their first Superbowl. I don’t care what NFC team they play. Washington seems more interesting, and would probably make for a better game. GateDolph says it will be the Bills over the Eagles for the trophy. Buffalo eeks by KC; Eagles plunge Washington; Buffalo WINS superbowl Yarganaught is another who believes the NFL is slanting things for a singular outcome. It doesn’t matter who wins the Eagles/Redskins game (my money would be on the Eagles), because the NFL wants KC in the Super Bowl so Kelce can propose to Taylor Swift at halftime (before he retires). KC wins it all. phinette sees the Eagles taking the trophy behind Barkley’s running. My heart says Commanders and Bills, but my head says Chiefs and Eagles with the Saquan-led Eagles overcoming mediocrity at the QB position and winning it all. 21Dave says you must take down Reid and Mahomes before you end the Chiefs streak. I think KC and Philly. And then KC for the ring. You gotta beat the best Coach and QB combo before you worry about the team. And the only team to do that was the Giants years ago twice!! SlayerNation1 sees a Bills/Commanders Super Bowl. It’s the Bills’ time. They are the one team that knows you have to drive a stake through the heart of the Chiefs. They know KC will get friendly penalty advantages so that has to be built in. Just like they did in the regular season, went for the knockout and not try to win a decision. Let Allen do His thing and don’t get cute. BUF 27 KC 20 WAS over PHI. Hurts is hurt and Daniels isn’t. Daniels drives them to a FG win with seconds left. WAS 31 PHI 30 dedstrk316 doesn’t know if he should go with his dream or not. I had a dream the other night. I forgot to turn the Super Bowl on and turned it on late first half and it was 17-0 Chiefs over Commanders. Stopped watching checked in late in the 4th quarter and saw KC driving, 15 yard pass to Worthy for a first down at the Commanders 30. The score popped up and it was 17-17 with the Chiefs driving for the win. So my dream says KC/Commanders win but I picked Bills/Eagles earlier in the week. PA phinphan will root for Barkley this year. I would love to see a Bills vs Eagles SB with Saquon running rampant through the Bills defense. Although this poses a problem for me, I would have to listen to all the Eagles fans. But I am rooting for Saquon. He is such a good dude. Miami7 believes that Buffalo finally gets one. Heart says KC/Commanders KC 3-peat Head says Buffalo/Eagles Buffalo SB Champions and life in Western NY is gonna be UG-LY!!! No consensus on this one! On the AFC side, some believe the NFL won’t let the Chiefs lose, while others think Buffalo will finally break through and possibly bring home the trophy. Many are backing the Eagles on the NFC side, while others believe the Commanders will somehow pull off their third upset in a row. I guess we’ll see what happens tomorrow and in two weeks. Thank you, as always, to everyone who took the time to answer our question of the day. Join us tomorrow for our two live threads covering both Conference Championship games.
