We just completed week 9, which means that we’re at the approximate halfway point of the 2025 campaign. That means it’s also trade deadline time! That has just passed, so as in prior years, it’s time to re-evaluate where everyone stands. Much change has taken place since week 1, and we’ve learned a great deal…
I’ll be keeping track of the various NFL trades that occur throughout 2025 on this page (most recent first). For every trade, I will list the assets each team received, analyze the trade, and provide trade grades for each team. Unless a specific trade is really notable, I’ll only be grading trades involving players, not…
The trade deadline is coming Tuesday, and many teams have no idea where they stand. Minnesota won with JJ McCarthy back, but the 2nd-year QB still doesn’t look very good. Houston has an elite defense, but a concussion for QB CJ Stroud ruined their chance to claw back to .500. Atlanta thinks they’re a complete…
Conference games are a tricky business. Maybe having two records, one overall and one within the conference, provides a little more pressure for these contests. Whatever the reason, you always get some unexpected results when conference foes face off. That can be even more troublesome for teams in the playoff chase. Three top-10 teams went…
As with the coach-related page, I have made a centralized post for all 2025 GM move-related grades (most recent first) as well. Once again, these moves are typically made on or near Black Monday, the first Monday after the regular season concludes. Moves can occur midseason or after the draft, but these are rare and…
On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2025 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
Apparently, this week was called “bye-mageddon”. I knew a bunch of teams were off this week, but the name was news to me. Even with fewer games on the schedule, I expected more competitive contests than what we saw. Only one matchup finished as a one-score game, and things got so out of hand that…
We had ourselves a lighter schedule this week with several ranked teams idle. Coincidentally, the ones that did play mostly didn’t face each other. That doesn’t mean we saw little of note. Auburn surged back to victory over Arkansas after benching QB Jackson Arnold. (10) Vanderbilt beat (15) Missouri in a slugfest after Tigers QB…
This week is brought to you by the number “3”! Numerous players scored 3 touchdowns, including the Rams’ Davante Adams, Indy’s Jonathan Taylor, and Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins. Maybe those last two knew it was about to be the dawn of National RB Day. Green Bay’s Micah Parsons had 3 sacks, a career high for one…
Welcome to upset week! The #2, #5, and #7 teams in the country all fell, as did a couple of the top teams in the Group of 6. (1) Ohio State remains the surefire best team in the country week 8. They, (3) Indiana, and (4) Texas A&M are the only current top-10 teams without…
