This was heavily influenced by his 2024 tape from Summer scouting (and some early 2025 tape) which had LT as a far more consistently disruptive Defensive Linemen as a pass rusher (39 pressures for 15.2% Pressure Rate and 18% Pass Rush Win Rate). 2025 was a step back from the consistency in pass rush as linemen adjusted to his bull rush a bit more and he dealt with an upper body injury early on in the season as well as a “significant but undisclosed” health problem late in 2025 that gave him respiratory issues. He had a medical procedure to try to solve the issue and after missing the the start of the playoffs was able to return and play the Hoosiers in the 2nd Round. His medical checks at the Scouting Combine will be key for his draft stock to make sure this medical issue is in the past and has no long term impact. Having #Alabama EDGE/DL LT Overton back against Indiana will be huge. Can play from multiple alignments, powerful hands and a nasty long arm on run downs, can stack and shed. Will need to be disruptive on run downs to slow down Indiana’s running game. pic.twitter.com/EsI8iw7e1F — Devin Jackson (@RealD_Jackson) December 31, 2025 Even if teams are willing to write off his 2025 tape due to these medical issues and evaluate him off of 2024 tape, there are still things Overton needs to address in the NFL. His power profile is impressive with his complementary short area quickness to execute stunts and loops, but the lack of overall speed and explosion are red flags. He needs to decide if he should embrace the power of his game and shift inside more as a penetrating Defensive Tackle, or if he should try to round out the finesse in his game to be able to be more consistent on the outside as a Defensive End. Further gaining more flexibility in his legs should help the latter as it would further improve his bend on the outside shoulders of tackles, while also making sure that regardless of where he plays he won’t lose the leverage battle by playing too high. In a very talented Defensive End class he has a large range of landing spots in the Draft, but for the Colts he could provide either another potential successor to DeForest Buckner at Defensive Tackle or could shore up the Colts need for a powerful run stuffer on the outside with Kwity Paye potentially departing this offseason as a free agent. Adding someone who could collapse the pocket with a reliable bull rush would be a fun fit to pair with Laiatu Latu, offering some clean-up sack opportunities as QBs shift away from the bull rusher to try to get space to throw in or out of the pocket. While Round 2 might be a bit early on my revised board coming out later, should LT Overton fall to Round 3 he would be very tempting for the Colts to take a shot on.

Only a bad GM would trade anything for A.J. Brown
The Los Angeles Rams are always one of the first teams to pop up in trade rumors for star players and it’s inevitable that they will be connected to A.J. Brown when the season is officially over. But if the Rams want to find a future after Davante Adams by trading for Brown, they should […] The Los Angeles Rams are always one of the first teams to pop up in trade rumors for star players and it’s inevitable that they will be connected to A.J. Brown when the season is officially over. But if the Rams want to find a future after Davante Adams by trading for Brown, they should not do it for at least one simple reason: A.J. Brown is also too old. The Eagles are hoping to find a sucker. Ignore what Eagles GM Howie Roseman says about the team not intending to trade Brown, that’s the same schlock that general manager say every year about players on the block. It’s 2026: You can’t still be falling for that in this age. Yes, Brown had a terrible game in Philly’s loss to the 49ers last week. Yes, Brown seems to be a diva. Yes, Brown is costly. But those aren’t the main reason that a team shouldn’t trade anything significant for A.J. Brown. He’s just too old. And he’s only 28. Well, wake up, it’s 2026: That’s too old to be a receiver in the National Football League. Every player in the top 12 in receiving yards in 2025 is 26 and younger: 26!!! A.J. Brown, who had 1,003 yards in 15 games, is going to turn 29 in June. He’s not too old…he’s WAY too old. Not too old to be in the NFL, but certainly too old to pay $30 million or trade a first round pick to acquire. Those are the types of costs you pay for an elite receiver you can build your offense around and Brown, who was that value in 2022 when the Eagles acquired him at age 25, is not that guy anymore. If Roseman thinks that pretending he won’t trade A.J. Brown will drive up his price to a first round pick, he’ll be waiting all year for a taker. How about a second round pick? That’s what the Steelers traded for DK Metcalf and then they paid Metcalf $33 million per season. How’s that looking? Metcalf, who just turned 28, had 850 yards and was suspended for the last two games of the season for making the exact same “Mr. Sensitive” mistakes that he made while he was a cheaper player in Seattle. That’s really when you want to have a star receiver: When he’s cheap and on a rookie contract or second contract. But the Steelers traded for Metcalf and paid him a third contract. The Eagles paid Brown a third contract in 2024 and they already regret it. Will Eagles trade Brown? If the Eagles trade A.J. Brown before June 1st, they will incur a $43 million dead cap charge in 2026, which is basically double what they will pay Brown if they don’t trade him. Here’s what Jimmy Kempski wrote in The Philly Voice: If Brown is traded this offseason before June 1, the Eagles would incur a dead cap charge of $43,515,106. Worded another way, he would count for $43,515,106 on the Eagles’ cap in 2026, while playing for another team. If the Eagles simply kept him, Brown would count for 23,393,497 on their 2026 cap, and, you know, he would be playing for the Eagles. (The dead cap charge would still be $43,515,106 if he’s traded after June 1, but $27,161,609 of it would count toward the 2027 cap.) Kempski notes that despite the cap charge, Philadelphia’s front office already operates with an expectation that they will pay huge dead cap hits for former players EVERY SEASON. That would be no different if they trade Brown. They basically expected something like this could happen. Brown has reportedly been requesting a trade for months. The Eagles would be financially free of Brown by 2027. It makes sense that the Eagles would trade Brown if a team was willing to give up a pick that could allow Philadelphia to draft his replacement, which is what the Titans attempted to do in 2022 (but they landed Treylon Burks instead). It worked for the Vikings in 2021 when they traded Stefon Diggs and drafted Justin Jefferson. But why in the world would a GM smart enough to have a job trade a first round pick for a 29-year-old receiver who is owed a lot of money and is known to be a diva? So a second round pick? Why would you even trade a second round pick for A.J. Brown? Half of the receivers you can draft in the second round of an average draft class will be far more valuable per dollar than Brown at age 29. And that’s just age 29. Let’s not forget that you’re also trading for a receiver at age 30, age 31, and age 32. These are BAD receivers relative to the top receivers in the NFL in 2026. Age 29 receivers As I wrote back in 2021, four years ago, turning 29 has not been kind to receivers. I was told by many people “omg you’re so dumb, obviously you’re wrong about all these players and you don’t understand that cooper kupp is going to age so much better than all of these players!!!” Did Kupp age better than those players? Or was 2021 his last good season? YOU. CAN’T. BE. A 30 YEAR OLD RECEIVER. IN TODAY’S NFL. Not for a lot of money. The best 29-year-old receivers in 2025: Jakobi Meyers, 75 catches for 835 yards (2 teams) Deebo Samuel, 72 catches for 727 yards No other receiver in the NFL who was exactly 29 years old this season had more than 400 yards. Got that? The 29-year-old PLAYER with the most receiving yards was Christian
Tiering the Chiefs’ roster ahead of offseason movement
Before the Kansas City Chiefs can decide what players to acquire in free agency or the draft this offseason, it’s important to identify the pillars of the team and their statuses for the short and long term.

To do this, I broke […] Before the Kansas City Chiefs can decide what players to acquire in free agency or the draft this offseason, it’s important to identify the pillars of the team and their statuses for the short and long term. The current strengths and weaknesses of the roster will guide the Chiefs’ choices. To do this, I broke down the 51 current rostered players for 2026 and tiered them based on their status with Kansas City moving forward. Enjoy! Tier 1: Locked-in stars Players: Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, right guard Trey Smith, center Creed Humphrey, left tackle Josh Simmons and defensive tackle Chris Jones The five players I listed above are, in my opinion, the five best players on the team and should factor into the Chiefs’ plans for the next three years at least. Mahomes, Smith, and Humphrey are all firmly in their primes on long-term deals. Simmons was not always on the field in 2025, but his long-term projection is exciting. He played like a top-10 left tackle as a rookie and has All-Pro upside. As long as he avoids injuries, he’ll be a star for the next decade. There will be some disagreement about Jones’s inclusion here. There is a possibility the Chiefs could look into trading Jones. The Chiefs would save around $15 million in cap space by trading him. However, Jones is still a top-5 defensive tackle capable of destroying offenses when it matters most. Jones had a slow start to the year, but after the bye week, he was playing fantastic football. The potential compensation for Jones would likely not be enough to outweigh what he brings to Kansas City’s defense. The Chiefs’ pass rush could not afford such a loss. Tier 2: High-end starters for the foreseeable future Players: linebacker Nick Bolton, defensive end George Karlaftis, left guard Kingsley Suamataia and kicker Harrison Butker As important cogs to defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s machine of a defense, Bolton and Karlaftis signed contracts with the team last offseason. Bolton is the team’s signal caller, and Karlaftis is a dependable, versatile player up front. The surprising inclusion is Suamataia, but his 2025 play warranted it. Over the course of the season, he continued to improve, smoothly transitioning from tackle to guard by utilizing his unique physical traits. He also made significant improvements to his technique compared to his rookie season. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – OCTOBER 27: Kingsley Suamataia #76 of the Kansas City Chiefs runs downfield against Jeremy Reaves #39 of the Washington Commanders during the first quarter at Arrowhead Stadium on October 27, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images)Getty Images Tier 3: Young players with contract decisions Players: Cornerback Trent McDuffie and wide receiver Rashee Rice McDuffie could have been extended and put into Tier 1, but Kansas City didn’t reach an agreement with the All-Pro cornerback last offseason. He will be on the fifth-year option in 2026, which means the Chiefs could trade him and have no dead money. If this team decides it needs more draft capital, a potential trade of McDuffie is the easiest path to getting that. The decisions surrounding him could be the first domino to fall this offseason. Rice is complicated. In my opinion, there is no circumstance where the Chiefs should extend him rather than making him prove himself further. Considering how the last two years have gone, Rice is unlikely to be valued in a potential trade, so we will just see how it goes in 2026. Tier 4: Rookie-deal players who haven’t emerged yet Players: Wide receiver Xavier Worthy, cornerback Nohl Williams, defensive end Ashton Gillotte, defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, safety Jaden Hicks and safety Chamarri Conner Worthy being on this list after his rookie year is disappointing, but this is the level his career is currently at. The 2025 season was a poor one for Worthy. He battled through injuries, but he struggled to make plays by beating man coverage. He aligned more on the outside once Rice came back, and it was ineffective. For Worthy to reach his ceiling, his role needs to change. To bring youth and depth to the defense, the Chiefs drafted Gillotte, Norman-Lott, and Williams on Day 2 last year. Williams looks the most promising of the three and will probably start next year. Gillotte and Norman-Lott have not proven enough to cement a role in 2026. Hicks and Conner will likely start next year, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Chiefs brought in different safeties this spring. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – DECEMBER 07: Nohl Williams #20 of the Kansas City Chiefs lines up before the snap during an NFL football game against the Houston Texans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on December 7, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images)Getty Images Tier 5: Veteran players who might not be back Players: Right tackle Jawaan Taylor, tight end Noah Gray, linebacker Drue Tranquill, swing tackle Jaylon Moore, defensive end Mike Danna and cornerback Kristian Fulton The easiest decision here is Taylor, who absolutely should not play on a $27 million cap hit. However, he could return on a restructured deal that lowers his cap hit. The decision on Moore will depend on what the Chiefs do with Taylor. My best guess: Moore is the starting right tackle for training camp, and Kansas City addresses right tackle in the draft for depth. Gray saves around $4 million by cutting him, but if tight end Travis Kelce retires, it would further justify retaining Gray. Cutting Tranquill saves $6 million, but if linebacker Leo Chenal leaves, he has a strong chance at avoiding a release. It felt like Fulton secured a

Los Angeles Rams (-3.5) vs. Chicago Bears [Total: 48.5] Game Overview The Rams and Bears claimed dramatic wins in the wild-card round, with each needing to mount a late touchdown drive to take the lead. Yet, the two teams profile quite differently in how they’ve operated this season, with the Rams being one of the best squads in the NFL out of the gate, while the Bears stand as one of the best finishers. Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ offense are known for their ability to put their best foot forward and get out to a strong start. Head coach Sean McVay continues to be among the best gameplanners in the league, as the Rams stand as one of four teams to generate positive EPA on more than 50% of their scripted plays (first 15 plays). They are more than 5 percentage points ahead of the next-best team. For the inverse, look no further than Ben Johnson’s Bears, who are the NFL’s premier team at closing out games. Chicago stands atop the NFL in EPA per play (0.157) in the fourth quarter and overtime. It’s a credit to quarterback Caleb Williams’ fearless nature to keep plays alive and rip balls downfield, as his 7.6% big-time throw rate late in games ranks fourth in the NFL. +EPA% on Scripted Plays (First 15 Plays) Team +EPA% on Scripted Plays Los Angeles Rams 56.3% Indianapolis Colts 51.0% Buffalo Bills 50.7% Green Bay Packers 50.0% To find the Inverse of that notion, look no further than Ben Johnson’s Bears, who are the NFL’s premier team at closing out games. Chicago stands atop the NFL in EPA per play (0.157) in the fourth quarter and overtime. Credit to Caleb Williams’ fearless nature to keep plays alive and rip balls downfield, as his 7.6% big time throw rate late in games ranks fourth in the NFL. Best Bet: Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears: Over 37.5 receiving yards (-113) Burden has received little recognition for his work as a rookie this season. The first-year receiver is one of the most efficient receivers in the game, with his 2.51 yards per route run average ranking fifth among receivers with at least 100 routes run. That efficiency has allowed the young wideout to eclipse this receiving-yards line in four of his past five games. The Rams’ coverage unit has struggled over the back half of the year, as they’ve surrendered both volume and production in bunches to receivers. Since the start of December, Los Angeles has allowed 9.4 yards per coverage target (sixth worst) and 51 open targets (sixth most) to receivers. In the wild-card round, they let the Panthers’ Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan combine for 215 receiving yards.
Can Sean McVay commit to a run-heavy gameplan?
The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field in a game to be played in freezing temperatures. They’ll be facing a defense that leads the NFL in interceptions, and a quarterback who’s seen a drop in form (not to be read as played badly). Back in 2018 […] The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field in a game to be played in freezing temperatures. They’ll be facing a defense that leads the NFL in interceptions, and a quarterback who’s seen a drop in form (not to be read as played badly). Back in 2018 on their way to the Super Bowl, the Rams went up against one of the better run defenses in the NFL at the time in the Dallas Cowboys. Despite that, head coach Sean McVay called 39 runs between CJ Anderson and Todd Gurley to Jared Goff’s 28 passes. Anderson and Gurley rushed for 238 yards between them and three touchdowns as the Rams won 30-22. It was the classic Kyle Shanahan mindset of “We’re going to run it until you show that you can stop it.” On that day, the Cowboys could not stop the Rams rushing attack led by the best run-blocking offensive line in the NFL. The opening two drives of that game were a combined 27 plays and took 12:39 off the clock. Out of those 27 plays, 15 of them were runs. While that only resulted in six points, it set the tone for a game in which the Rams had over 36 minutes in time of possession. If the Rams are going to beat the Bears, they are going to need a repeat of that performance from seven years ago. A common theme from that 2018 Rams team is that this one has a dominant run-blocking offensive line and two running backs leading the charge. As ESPN’s Benjamin Solak recently wrote, “According to NFL Next Gen Stats, those 2018 and 2025 Rams are the only two rushing offenses since 2016 with success rates over 50% on carries by running backs. The 2018 team was at 50.13%, while the 2025 Rams are right behind at 50.12%. No cheeky scrambles, no quarterback keeps on read options — pure running back handoffs.“ One of McVay’s biggest criticisms is that he too often gets away from the run game. That criticism is somewhat overblown, but it’s also not inaccurate. This season, the Rams have had the fourth-highest early-down pass rate in the NFL. The only three teams higher than them missed the playoffs. The Rams’ pass-rate of 58.5 percent is their highest since 2021. They currently have a four percent pass rate over expected which is also higher than 2021 when it was three percent. Rams Pass Rate Over ExpectedRBSDM | Ben Baldwin With Matthew Stafford playing as well as he has this season and Puka Nacua having the type of year that he is, it makes sense to put the ball in the hands of your best players. When the Rams leaned on the run game to win back in Week 5, it folded with a fumble at the goal line and getting stuffed on fourth down to end the game. However, the Rams have one of the best run games of the last decade. Those 2018 and 2025 teams have been built similarly. They look different in how things are done, but this is a team that leans on the run game and play action passing as they did in the early years of McVay. It was that run game that cleared the path for the Rams to make the Super Bowl and that’s going to be the case this year if they make it that far. It’s something that McVay needs to embrace. Too often this season, McVay has gotten away from the run game when it’s been working. Back in Week 13, Blake Corum and Kyren Williams averaged 7.7 yards per carry. They only touched the ball 20 times combined. Williams averaged over seven yards per carry against the Falcons while Stafford threw three interceptions. The Rams running back had 13 carries in the game. That stubbornness to stick with the passing game while the quarterback is struggling nearly cost the Rams last week. With Stafford struggling in the third quarter and after taking a 17-7 lead, McVay called 16 passes to eight runs. At the time, the Rams were averaging over five yards per carry. This was an area in which the Rams should have been able to dominate in Carolina. During the regular season, the Panthers allowed 4.4 yards per carry which was the 11th-highest in the NFL. The Panthers could be exploited on the ground. However, the Rams continued to throw the ball with their quarterback that wasn’t feeling it for a large stretch. Stafford got back into rhythm in the fourth quarter, but it’s still odd that the play-caller didn’t do more to help in the run game. As Solak wrote, “In the 2025 season, the Rams’ ground game has again been an understandable afterthought…The passing game is the story of modern football, and as such, it is the story of the 2025 Rams…the running game is the foundation of this elite Rams offense — in 2025 with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum as it was in 2018 with Gurley. Everything they do flows from it…Even in 2021, when the Rams won the Super Bowl, the flow of offensive ideas, of offensive identity, had flipped. The Rams won games through the air, and the running game existed exclusively as a buttress to that effort. In 2025, the contour of the Rams’ offense returned to its 2018 form. The passing game is in total symbiosis with the running game. It’s balanced again.” A lot has been said this week about Stafford’s performances in cold weather. Much of that is overblown, but it also doesn’t mean that McVay shouldn’t do what

Colts announce that training camp will be moved to W. 56th street in 2027
On Friday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team’s training camp will be moved from Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, to franchise headquarters at its W. 56th street, Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center beginning in the 2027 offseason. This offseason will mark the team’s final training camp at Grand Park, at least as it stands. […] On Friday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team’s training camp will be moved from Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, to franchise headquarters at its W. 56th street, Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center beginning in the 2027 offseason. This offseason will mark the team’s final training camp at Grand Park, at least as it stands. As the team announcement notes, the Colts will join the NFL’s 26 other teams who host their team training camp at their own practice facilities—meaning there will be five or fewer clubs who have their training camps off-site in 2027. Outside of a few aberration seasons (including during the COVID-19 pandemic), the Colts have typically held their team training camps off-site. They had been in Grand Park since 2018, excluding the 2020 COVID year. The Colts have also hosted training camp at Anderson University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Late team owner Jim Irsay, who passed away last May, always seemed to be a big proponent of hosting training camp off-site for additional exposure and having it open to the general public. It provided Colts fans, particularly families, a unique opportunity to see the team up close and personal, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford the typical game day experience during the regular season. The big loser in this could be Colts fans in that regard. It’s quite possible that W. 56th Street may still be open to the general public in some regards, but I would have to think that their capacity could be more limited compared to Grand Park going forward. However, we’ll just have to wait and see for sure. Maybe there ultimately won’t be a meaningful capacity difference at all. There’s probably some reasoning that the Colts are going to do this, along with 26 other NFL teams in the fairly near future, including costs, logistics, efficiency, and likely the quicker medical treatment component. However, let’s hope it’s not the end of what has been a longtime offseason perk of being Colts fans, live and readily accessible team training camp. See More: Indianapolis Colts News
