Mike Tomlin: "I don't tote last year's bags." There's a new one.
Dan Campbell: "On the eighth day, the Good Lord made Lambeau."
I'm telling you that your team has a chance. Friendly reminder that at least 4 "new" teams have made the @NFL Playoffs in each of the last 35 seasons. It's a tradition unlike any other.
And the fighting Freddie Kitchens crew marches down the field.
Ok, CJ Daniels.
That needs to be a TD
Too early to look at weather for next week? It could feel like fall. High in Cleveland of 66° for Bengals-Browns. Overnight low in Buffalo of 47° after SNF Ravens-Bills.
Friendly reminder, we have @NFL games this week.
"If Jerry knew football..." Interesting choice of name for the character in the Fox promo featuring Tom Brady.
The energy with which Gus says "Big Dumper"...

Good morning, friends. Anything going on today?
Brian Schottenheimer: "At the end of the day, it was unanimous."
Of all the press conferences I've ever watched, that was one of them.
Jerry Jones: "Do you really think that if I wanted someone to be interested in him that i would say 'Oh, I'm going to trade him.'? It's the opposite, and I thank you for writing it."
Jerry Jones says he offered Micah Parsons more guaranteed money in April than he's reportedly getting from the Packers.
Stephen Jones: "You can scheme pressure, as well."
Jerry: "There's no question that I could have signed him in April. We all know that to have agreements, all parties have to agree.' "I did make Micah an offer. It wasn't acceptable. And I honor the fact that it wasn't done in the ho nor he requested, through an agent."
Jerry: "This trade was not just thought about today." "It's been going on all spring."
Micah Parsons missed four games last year. Cowboys defense gave up 121 points in those 4 games.
Wyatt Langford should just ask for a lifetime contract from the Rangers tonight.
Browns, Rams, and Cowboys now each hold two 1st-round picks in 2026.
This trade would have made a lot more sense for the Cowboys back in April when they could have used the 23rd overall pick.
Nike Rivalry uniforms for 2025 AFC East and NFC West. Love the Bills and the Rams.
Do we see Micah Parsons vs Lane Johnson next Thursday? “As far as I’m concerned, I’m pretty sure he’ll be out there Week 1.” @yahoosports.bsky.social Inside Coverage
Terry McLaurin on the podium in Washington. Reporter: "Did you get what you wanted in this deal?" McLaurin: "I did."
About to start a 14-team, 20-round, you have to play 2 QB, fantasy draft. Fun.
Dillon Gabriel is the Browns #2 QB, per Kevin Stefanski.
SEVEN QB taken in the 2024 @NFL Draft will start in Week 1. Williams Daniels Maye Penix McCarthy Nix Rattler
Diontae Johnson can still play. You still see that quickness. But with another transaction reportedly added to this list today, the last 18 months have been quite the journey.
After final cutdowns in 2024, there were 27 players claimed. Seven of those 27 were claimed by the Panthers, the team with the top waiver position. Titans have that spot this year. Remember, any player claimed must go on the new team's 53-man roster.
Texans announce RB Joe Mixon will miss the first four games of the regular season.
Former Cowboys WR Michael Gallup, former Browns C Nick Harris, among the Commanders cuts.
Rams waive QB Dresser Winn, who started Saturday against the Browns. Rams also cut former Browns LB Tony Fields, among 11 moves.
Pete Carroll just said the Raiders are in the market for another QB with Aidan O'Connell's injury. "We're looking for an experienced player who can help us."
NFL waiver priority is 2025 draft order (no trades) for the first three weeks of the new season. 1. Titans 2. Browns 3. Giants 4. Patriots 5. Jaguars Etc..
Heard about that rookie that plays both offense and defense? Yup, Adin Huntington. Browns UDFA DL started at FB, then had 1.5 sacks, 2 TFL, and a forced fumble. He also led Browns in special teams tackles in the preseason. Kevin Stefanski said Huntington made the team.
Flacco: "I feel as good as I ever have." "My arm feels just as good as ever."
Joe Flacco says he expects to play Saturday against the Rams.
Zac Taylor was just asked about the report that the Bengals are willing to trade Trey Hendrickson: "I got nothing to do with that."
This is the worst NFL preseason shutout, for what it's worth, since the Broncos shutout the Rams 41-0 in Week 3 of 2023.
One week from today, the preseason will be over and NFL teams will be begin cutting their rosters from 90 down to 53.
Shedeur Sanders, who won’t play today due to an oblique injury, throws before the game with David Njoku.
Great behind-the-scenes access, including plenty of new mic'd up content from last week's game. 📺 t.co/xdOiCMHirH
ony Brown, A.K.A. Ap3x, joins the first episode of a new season of the "Bark Tank". He's a lot more than just that guy with a speaker in Carolina. t.co/SvqLHQQk7S
Kevin Stefanski says Kenny Pickett will do 7-on-7 today. Dillon Gabriel will do 11-on-11. No decision on participation for either on Saturday’s game. Joe Flacco will get the majority of 1st team reps today.

New team, new season, new journey.
Kevin Stefanski calls WR Luke Floriea's hamstring injury "serious". Mentor and Kent State UFA made a great 1-handed catch Friday night.
Sure, I'll watch preseason football day.
Preseason football is a hot ticket tonight in Charlotte.
Josh Allen says the OL bet him that he couldn't work "Galileo" into Hard Knocks while mic'd up. He proved them wrong.
Sean McDermott says RB James Cook will practice today, but then adds he expects every player to practice. "That remains to be seen whether or not he'll be here."
So great to have With Bills legend @FitzMagic_14 join me for the Episode 1 recap! Hard Knocks Podcast 🎧 Spotify: shorturl.at/kN68N 🎧 Apple: shorturl.at/uIFEW
Stefanski says most of the Browns starters will sit Friday, including Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.
Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel will do 7-on-7 reps today at a rainy joint practice with the Panthers.
Kevin Stefanski confirms Shedeur Sanders will start Friday for the Browns. Tyler Huntley may play, as well. Those would be the only 2 QB that will play.
Browns DC Jim Schwartz: “Next step for Myles is MVP candidate.” Schwartz says “been there, done that” for DPOY.
Was it a difficult decision for Shedeur Sanders to self-report the sore shoulder?
Shedeur Sanders says he’s good to go today. Arm feels better. No MRI needed after missing practice Saturday.
Let’s all collectively send positive thoughts to the great Greg Papa. 🙏
It's August. We have real college football games this month.
I'm thrilled to announce I'l be hosting the new season of the HBO NFLFilms Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills companion podcast! 📺 YT: youtu.be/a7LTtwUNbOc 🎧 Spotify: shorturl.at/WA6jx 🎧 Apple: shorturl.at/uTAOL First episode next week!
We tested the virtual measurement system during a @RamsNFL preseason game last summer at SoFi. It worked well. Easy integration into the broadcast.
So happy for Sterling Sharpe.

I am quite happy Steven Kwan wasn't traded.
There’s an @NFL game tonight, friends. It’s the first of a scheduled 334 between today and February 8, 2026. We’re back.

Kevin Stefanski says MJ Emerson is out for the year with a torn achilles.
Kevin Stefanski says Kenny Pickett “felt something” at the end of practice Saturday. Pickett had an MRI. “Day to day.”
An NFL game will be played this week. It will be on television. Joy.
Credic Tillman is back on the field after a lower leg injury Friday. Kevin Stefanski says the Browns “dodged a bullet”.
Dillon Gabriel: “There are enough reps to go around physically, and mentally.” It’s about “taking advantage” when you get them.
Shedeur Sanders says his biggest adjustment to the NFL is not having his brother @ShiloSanders down the street to help around the house. He says he misses Shilo’s juice machine.
Shedeur Sanders on his speeding tickets.
Mike Vrabel, asked about former Raiders DL Christian Wilkins: "I'm sure we'll have a conversation about it." Vrabel says he recruited Wilkins out of high school.
Do you see a pathway to have four QB on your Week 1 roster? Browns GM Andrew Berry: “I do.”
Flacco on Browns OL: “They are on top of their stuff. That’s the last position group you’re going to worry about on this field.”
Joe Flacco, on his five kids’ expectations: “I went home in the beginning of June and they said ‘Are you the starter yet?’”
Joe Flacco: “I’m as determined as ever…just to be the best quarterback I can be.” “Second day of camp I think the best thing for me is just to stay in the moment.”
Should we read into the QB rotation on the first day of Browns camp? Stefanski: “I know it’ll get reported on who’s in there first. It may change, it will change, tomorrow.”
Stefanski on QB practice plans: “I have a plan that’s in pencil.”
Matte finish.
Joel Bitonio: “It’s an o-lineman’s dream offense. We’re going to run the ball, play action, take our shots when they’re there.”
Myles Garrett: “I expect to get to the Super Bowl. That’s our expectation every year.” Garrett says it’s the same expectation for another DPOY.
Browns new “Alpha Dog” helmet and all-brown look debuts Week 3.
Commanders GM Adam Peters on Terry McLaurin: "We're expecting everyone to be here today." "Everybody in this building values Terry very much." "We're going to do everything we can in order to get a deal done."

That store down the street has had a "Going Out of Business" and "Everything Must Go" sale for three years now. They're still open.
Reporter: Has resigning as GM been even a a momentary consideration? Jerry Jones: "Yes. Momentary." Reporter: "How long a moment?" Jones: "Small fractions of seconds."
Jerry Jones points out that he hasn't waited until the last minute to re-sign some players, but... "Frankly, should we have waited on Diggs and Steele?"
Jerry Jones: "Just because we sign [Micah Parsons] doesn't mean we're going to have him. He missed 6 games last year. Seriously."
Jerry Jones on Micah Parsons, presented without context: "I'm not the least concerned about having any dangling participles out here on a contract."
Jerry Jones: "I'm appreciative of Micah [Parsons] being here." But, Jones says, the Cowboys will fine Parsons for missing part of the mandatory offseason program. Jones repeatedly stressed the importance of leadership when asked about Parsons.
Tyler Smith: Super Bowl "a realistic goal". Jerry Jones: "Tyler's one of the most intelligent guys in the NFL. And if he's thinking that way, I'll go right along with him."
Happy opening week of NFL Training Camp to you and yours. All 32 teams will be on the field by Saturday.
