Myles Garrett’s first media appearance following his blockbuster trade from Cleveland to Los Angeles revealed a player focused on something deeper than the familiar ‘Super Bowl or bust’ rhetoric that has naturally trailed the move.

The NFL’s long-anticipated June 1st salary cap threshold delivered two franchise-altering blockbuster trades, but the decision by the Cleveland Browns to part with reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett overshadowed the widely-expected move which sent wide receiver A.J.

The NFL leaned heavily into established contenders, major media markets and ascending young quarterbacks when deciding its 2026 primetime television allocations, essentially adving viewers who it believes will matter in January. The Los Angeles Rams lead the league with seven spotlight games, tying the NFL record previously shared by the 2025 Kansas City Chiefs and 2023 Buffalo Bills. Just behind …

The NFL will finally unveil its full 2026 regular season schedule on May 14th, but the modern schedule release — already a surprisingly popular television event — has evolved into something far bigger than a simple fixture announcement. What was once an administrative offseason milestone has become one of the league’s most carefully orchestrated media events — part television launch, …
In a first round that began with a quarterback taken first overall and a running back with pick #32, it was not surprising that the offensive side of the ball saw most of their ilk taken on the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The NFL’s voluntary offseason programmes are, by design, incomplete. Attendance is optional and participation phased but, as teams reconvened this week, the usual whispers around presence and absence weren’t long in being heard.

The Los Angeles Rams have unveiled a refined brand and uniform refresh, signalling what the franchise describes as the next phase of its identity as it settles into a second decade back in Southern California.

The NFL’s first regular season game in Australia will not be a standalone event, with commissioner Roger Goodell insisting the league is in Melbourne ‘for the long term’ as it continues its aggressive international expansion.

Some NFL teams must wish they could keep their players under a watchful eye at all times, so as to avoid any unpleasant incidents during the long, long offseason. The Los Angeles Rams are one probably one such team. The latest cause for exasperation concerns wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is being sued for assault and battery, with gender violence …
As expected, Matthew Stafford claimed the top individual award at the 15th NFL Honours, but the margin over his nearest rival was perhaps closer than many anticipated.

Analysing football is a tricky thing. To differentiate yourself from the ‘hot take artists’, you feel you have to crunch the tape and study the numbers. But sometimes, it just feels that overarching narratives are inescapable. The Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears’ recent histories have been littered with back-breaking loss after back-breaking loss. As the youngest franchise in the NFL, …
