Russell Wilson (center) with Aaron Judge of the Yankees.Photo by Michael Mooney/MLB Photos via Getty Images As we complete our position-by-position “better or worse?” examination of the New York Giants’ offense we have reached the final and most important position — quarterback. We are going to dispense with the standard “better or worse?” argument. The Giants are clearly better, positioned both with a better short-term signal-caller in Russell Wilson and a potential long-term answer in Jaxson Dart. So, the question is not “are they better?” The short-term question is “have they improved enough for it to matter in 2025?” The long-term question is “have they bet on the right horse to carry the franchise into the future?” Short term Russell Wilson isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. When he became head coach of the Denver Broncos Sean Payton clearly wanted to move on from Wilson. While, statistically, he played well enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, it seems that not everyone in Pittsburgh was on the Wilson train. While the comparison is not perfect, Wilson’s career is somewhat reminiscent of that of former Giants great Eli Manning. While Manning stayed with the Giants for the entirety of his 16-year career and Wilson has become an NFL nomad, both players’ careers were far more successful in the first half than in the second half. Even in the back half of Wilson’s career, though, he has been better than Daniel Jones. Check out the table below from rbsdm.com charting quarterback efficiency from Jones’ rookie season in 2019 through 2024. It is sorted by Expected Points Added (EPA) per play, and clearly shows Wilson being more effective than Jones. QB Efficiency, 2019-2024 Player Team Plays EPA+CPOE composite Adj.

Metcalf started the 2024 season strong: Metcalf averaged 15.1 PPR points per game over the first seven weeks, but then an injury derailed his season. Metcalf lands with the Pittsburgh Steelers: Metcalf will be the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ top wide receiver, but offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s offenses tend to run the ball a lot, which could hurt Metcalf’s production.

Joe Burrow is the most clutch quarterback of the decade
Joe Burrow | Phil Didion/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Primetime is Burrow time. One way or the other, Joe Burrow has put has stamp on the city of Cincinnati. Whether it is in his lobbying for long-term contracts for his star receivers, his Joe Burrow Foundation that seeks to address food insecurity and childhood mental health issues, or his desire to be “The Best in the World,” Burrow has taken over the city the way he takes over the huddle on the football field. Recently, Burrow was recognized as the most clutch quarterback so far this decade, according to Warren Sharp. Over the last five years, Burrow has led the NFL in efficiency when trailing in the final five minutes of a game. Since 2020, Burrow has the best Expected Point Added per dropback (EPA/dropback) in the league – better than Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes. Burrow has pulled off 11 game-winning drives during the course of his career, including comeback wins over Dallas and Denver just last year. After only his fifth year in the league, two of which were cut short by injury, Burrow has already amassed six fourth-quarter comeback victories. In his career, the Cincinnati Bengals’ own version of a gunslinger has thrown one touchdown pass for every 10 attempts when trailing in the last five minutes of a game. His TD rate of 10.3% over that span is the best for any quarterback since 2000. Jackson stands at 8.9% with Mahomes coming in at 8.7%. Hopefully, all of this will translate into a Lombardi Trophy or two before he is finished. Burrow certainly has been doing his part – in the city and on the football field.

Arrowheadlines: Patrick Mahomes now the world’s 18th highest-paid athlete
Photo by Jamie Squire/NWSL via Getty Images Chiefs headlines for Saturday, May 24. The latest Off-field earnings push Patrick Mahomes into top 20 of world’s highest-paid athletes | The Star The San Francisco 49ers last week gave quarterback Brock Purdy a huge five-year contract extension worth $265 million, and many people were talking about …. the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. Yep, Over The Cap said Mahomes has the 14th-highest average salary per year among NFL quarterbacks. The good news for Mahomes is he is still being paid handsomely by the Chiefs, and he’s also making a lot of money away from the field. Those endorsement deals are a big reason why Mahomes is ranked as the 18th highest-paid athlete in the world by Forbes. Predicting the Best Rookie on Every Team in 2025 | Sports Illustrated Kansas City Chiefs: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT It’ll be interesting to see how the Chiefs’ left tackle situation unfolds, as first-round pick Josh Simmons, who’s still rehabbing from a torn patellar tendon sustained in October, competes with free agent signing Jaylon Moore for the starting job. Norman-Lott faces no such questions. The Tennessee product is a potent interior pass rusher. With Chris Jones commanding extra attention next to him, Norman-Lott will have plenty of advantageous opportunities to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. Chiefs rookie LB Jeffrey Bassa describes collegiate position change | Chiefs Wire A highly viewed four-star recruit in the class of 2021, Bassa took a unique path to finding his current role. He entered college primarily playing safety before kicking down to linebacker to cover for injured teammates. Bassa never returned to safety, but he retained most of the athletic traits that made him a coveted defensive back. While at the Senior Bowl earlier this year, Bassa detailed his experience transitioning from safety to off-ball linebacker. “It was great. You’re so used to guarding receivers all the time … You get transitioned into the box, and you’re dealing with linemen all the time. You’re dealing with vision of the quarterback, dealing with the linemen and assigning everybody to make sure they’re alright,” said Bassa. “I thought it was a quick and easy transition for me because I always wanted to have that vocal voice and for people to depend on me to get them aligned right. [I can] also do things that a DB can do and stop the run as well.” Top extension candidate for every NFL team | CBS Sports Kansas City Chiefs: QB Patrick Mahomes Back in 2020, Mahomes and the Chiefs agreed to a 10-year, $447 million contract that could be worth up to $503 million. While that deal — which has Mahomes connected to Kansas City through the 2031 season — has been tweaked in recent years to give the Chiefs some cap flexibility, the quarterback market has changed rather dramatically. That could mean that they take a harder look at this deal to bring Mahomes up to a respective level. At the moment, Mahomes is making $45 million per season, which has him tied with Kirk Cousins (currently a backup) as the 14th highest-paid quarterback in the league. With Josh Allen recently reworking his deal to get him to $55 million per season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Mahomes and the Chiefs follow suit. Chiefs have kept C.J. Hanson on ice for a year and there’s a reason for it | Arrowhead Addict It’s be easy to forget what made the Chiefs look Hanson’s way in the first place, which is understandable, but it all starts with that RAS—his Relative Athetic Score—a metric designed by Kent Lee Platte that takes into account a player’s height, weight, bench press, leaping drills, speed drills, and more. The result is a number measured up to 10.0. Back to Hanson. Platte’s RAS for Hanson measured out to 9.84, which is basically otherworldly for an offensive lineman. Per Platte, it ranks at No. 26 overall among a group of 1,582 linemen from the mid-’80s to 2024. Yeah, that’s impressive. Of course, NFL Draft history is littered with busts who were excellent at the Combine or at their respective Pro Days yet never turned in anything meaningful on the field. That said, Hanson is made of the sort of uber-athletic clay that coaches look forward to molding. Beyond the raw athleticism, Hanson also entered the draft with an impressive amount of experience and reliability. While at Holy Cross, he’d started 38 games at right guard over three seasons and was named First-Team All-Patriot League in his final two seasons as a Crusader. He was also a team captain, and that leadership speaks volumes about the kind of person he will be for the Chiefs. Around the NFL The NFL and College Football Fight for the Calendar Is Brewing | Sports Illustrated The NFL’s actions also speak loudly on Saturday when the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 allows the league to start airing games on college football’s typical place in the week starting after the second weekend of December. While in the past this hasn’t been a big deal, it is nowadays with a 12-game college football slate during the regular season with a conference championship weekend tacked on and an expanded playoff that now has four rounds worth of action. When the CFP initially put out dates for its inaugural 12-team tournament, there was hope among some in college football circles that the NFL would opt to avoid going head-to-head with the three first-round games on Dec. 20, 2024. The league instead scheduled two marquee games—featuring the Kansas City Chiefs against the Houston Texans plus the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers—and put both on over-the-air networks to help bolster their reach even further.

Billy Joel won’t be coming to Paycor Stadium following health scare
Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Unfortunate to hear, but at least health is being prioritized for one of the greats. The Cincinnati Bengals were set to help host Billy Joel at Paycor Stadium this Summer, but a recent brain disorder diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus has canceled that opportunity. Joel released this statement: “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding. This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” Joel’s team said in a statement. “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.” The biggest concern is obviously the health of the legendary musician who canceled the rest of his tour. It is unfortunate for those who have been able to procure tickets. It would have been one heck of a show.
NFL.com predicts that new Colts’ QB addition Daniel Jones will have worse numbers in 2025
Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images That could potentially be a good thing for the Colts… According to NFL.com’s Kevin Patra, Indianapolis Colts’ new veteran quarterback Daniel Jones will have worse numbers in 2025 with his new squad: Daniel Jones Year 7 · Age: 28 Indianapolis Colts With Giants in 2024: 10 games (all starts) | 63.3 pct | 2,070 pass yds | 6.1 ypa | 8 pass TD | 7 INT | 265 rush yds | 2 rush TD | 4 fumbles 2025 numbers will be: WORSE Jones was brought in to light a fire under Anthony Richardson. It would not be a stunner if Jones won the QB1 gig over the talented but erratic Richardson. But neither is exactly reliable. Jones’ time in New York wasn’t pretty, and his scatter-shot passing doesn’t promise better results than Richardson, but at least he can say he’s won a playoff game in his career. Jones did have brief moments when protected well, showing he could hit targets in stride, and his dual-threat ability was a problem for defenses. Outside of 2022, however, there isn’t much to write home about, with a 70:47 career touchdown-to-interception ratio and 50 career fumbles. When a team brings in a veteran to push a young player, it’s usually an indicator that they’re ready to move on. However, the Colts are heavily invested in Richardson. The youngster will likely get every opportunity to prove he’s grown from last year’s disaster. I think that desperation gives Richardson one more shot to open the season. If he stumbles, Jones at least gives Shane Steichen a veteran who can run the offense. For some Colts fans, that’s not exactly what they were hoping to hear, as Indianapolis surprisingly signed the former New York Giants franchise quarterback hopeful to a one-year, $14 million contract to serve as the top competition for incumbent Anthony Richardson. Although depending on who you’re asking, many Colts fans are hoping that Jones doesn’t play at all because unless there was a Jones’ injury, that likely would mean Richardson has won the offseason starting quarterback job outright on the merits. That could explain any potential diminished 2025 numbers as well. Last year, Jones completed 216 of 341 pass attempts (63.3%) for 2,070 passing yards, 8 passing touchdowns, 7 interceptions during 10 starts before being benched, later waived, and then signing with the Minnesota Vikings in-season to backup starter Sam Darnold. Like Richardson, he’s also struggled with inconsistency, turnovers, and injuries but offers at least a somewhat similar skill-set with his dual-threat mobility, meaning head coach Shane Steichen wouldn’t have to significantly alter his playbook and scheme for either starter.
The “AI Baby” Trend Has Reached the Minnesota Vikings
Whether we like it or not If you’ve spent any time on social media over the past couple of weeks, you’ve no doubt seen a significant number of “AI Baby” videos on various platforms. For those of you who have not, what these videos do is use AI to generate baby avatars. . .I guess, for lack of a better term. . .who then give speeches or other performances with the adult audio behind them. If you’re a bit confused by that description, allow me to show you an example, as this trend has now officially reached our Minnesota Vikings thanks to the folks at KFAN-FM in the Twin Cities. Are you a puppy…or a baby?@PAOnTheMic @PeteBercich @Vikings #kfanbabies #ai #aibabies @NFL pic.twitter.com/aqErW3Yh6E — KFAN1003 (@KFAN1003) May 22, 2025 The audio is a bit we all recognized, which is the legendary call of the Minneapolis Miracle from the Vikings’ play-by-play duo of Paul Allen and Pete Bercich. In this instance, however, both announcers have been morphed into babies. Again, this is happening all over the place and I’m honestly surprised that it took this long to finally make this one happen. You can like these videos or hate them and, believe me, I’ve seen plenty of folks on both sides of that coin. Personally, I think they’re kind of funny, and there’s no way that I wasn’t going to share this one now that it’s out in the wild.
Your All Time Least Favorite Miami Dolphins Player

Runners Up: Cam Smith; Deion Jordan; Eric Kumerow; J Martin; Olivadotti as a Coach nomination MIAMI235 is out on the big Cornhusker! Never cared for Suh. Bunch of money, no true difference, with all that hype! Dolphster jumped right over the players and went right to a head coach. I’m going to stretch the rules of the question a little bit to include coaches. For me, it is Nick (Satan) Saban. Dishonorary Mention to Cecil Collins who had to be one of the dumbest human beings ever to play in the NFL. twinssdfan points to the guy behind one of the bigger scandals the team has had. Jonathon Martin was a total embarrassment to the organization. 21Dave is no fan of dandy Dan! Ok hear me out before you bash me. My least favorite player is Dan Marino. Why?? I became a Dolphins fan when they brought in Terry Kirby a buddy of mine so I started rooting for them. Then I had a chance to play golf with a bunch of players in a golf event and Dan was in my group. The biggest complete asshole I have ever met. Such an asshole I walked over to my brother that was running the event and said, if you don’t get me out of this group the dolphins will not have a starting QB this year. We didn’t make it off the driving range and he was such a douche!! Complained about everything. Crushed ice in the machine not cubed, the driving range grass was mowed to tight, the brand of range balls, too many flags on the range to aim at. Mind you this is a very nice course that they play on the Sr. Tour still to this day. Funny part is Keith Byers says come play with me buddy and we will win. So I did and we did!! Fast forward 20 years later playing with some MLB buddies and they ask do we have room for one more Keith wants to play, have you met him before I said sure he can play and I met him long ago he won’t remember though. We get about 4-5 holes in and Keith goes … Damn it you looked familiar when I saw this morning, and it just hit me, you are the guy we played with at Broken Sound The Old course and said you were going to kick Dan’s ass . We laughed for about 5 minutes. So Dan is my least favorite. I also know of a few more stories of guys that have worked on his homes and the stories are even worse. One of them told me that Dan didn’t want the workers to make eye contact with him as he walked through the house. Douche Bag!! Jptapt went back a bit to point out a linebacker that played for the Phins in the 80s. What about Shula’s worst pick ever – Jackie Shipp? darrel.owen was out on Martian and Cox! Jonathan Martin was an absolute waste of space. Not only was he a wasted draft pick, but he embarrassed the team. I also hated Bryan Cox. He seemed like a classless dude. HuskerPhinatic has added another vote for the leader thus far. Gotta add Jonathan Martin to this list here. Was not all that good as a player, and a baby in the locker room. Sdphinsfan is another with a list that includes some big-name WRs. Maybe the Dolphins should stop trading for big-name wideouts. Mike Wallace…Brandon Marshall…Jonathan Martin…Will Fuller…and sorry in advance to some, but Bryan Cox was never a favorite. Would he make a big play sometimes…yes…would he get trucked in the run game or beat in coverage…often, but the big plays stood out more. krammm has a take! Dan Marino All time leader in interceptions when he finished. All time leader in pick sixes when he finished. Always hung his defense out to dry by having 20 minutes time of possession per game. Could never win the big game. No mobility or ability to extend the play. Couldn’t do any more with a good team than David Woodley. That’s our ten random selections for this evening. Not surprisingly to me or probably anyone, Johnathan Martin was the most popular choice. Some others surprised me, but I expected as much, as we all have our take on things. As always, thank you to each of you who took the time to answer our PQOTD. I hope that everyone is having a good and safe holiday weekend!
FOWLER: “Multiple Teams” engaged in trade talks with Dolphins for CB Jalen Ramsey
Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images #HeGone We are one week away from June 1st, which, as you probably know by now, is when many experts and analysts believe a Jalen Ramsey trade will commence. Moving on from Ramsey Post-June 1st will save the Dolphins $5.9M this season, splitting the remaining $29.2M up over the next two seasons ($10.7M in 2025, $18.5M in 2026), according to Spotrac. Last week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Ramsey was bringing in more interest than expected. Now, another ESPN Analyst is breaking some news, this time naming three teams that appear to be the most engaged in trade talks for the former shutdown cornerback. According to Fowler, via David Furones of the Miami Herald, the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, and Dallas Cowboys are all potential suitors. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Dolphins are engaged with multiple teams on a Jalen Ramsey trade with nothing imminent. Fowler named the L.A. Rams, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders as potential suitors. — David Furones (@DavidFurones_) May 23, 2025 The Rams are no surprise. After all, they’ve been talking glowingly about Ramsey since rumors started. The Washington Commanders were also a team mentioned by former Dolphins beat writer, turned Outkick personality, Armando Salguero. Now, the Dallas Cowboys have entered the mix, according to Fowler. And when you think about how difficult it has been for them to win anything as of late, especially in a division with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, bringing in a defensive back like Ramsey would make a ton of sense. After Ramsey is traded, General Manager Chris Grier and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver will turn their eyes to free agency, hoping to bring in a cornerback capable of filling the void left behind by the 30-year-old cornerback. Miami has been linked to Rasul Douglas earlier this offseason, and most recently, Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who is recovering from neck surgery. James Bradbury is another name rumored to be with the Dolphins. Regardless of which player Miami ultimately decides to sign, the entire season could come down to how well the secondary can do without Ramsey. Kader Kohou will be CB1, and whatever free agent they ultimately sign, will likely play opposite him. But the story of the season could rest on the shoulders of Storm Duck, Cam Smith, Artie Burns, and the rest of Miami’s secondary. Will it be enough to hold off some of the AFC’s top teams and win a playoff game for the first time in over two decades? We’re about to find out.
