This article previews the Week 17 matchup between the Jaguars and Commanders in the 2026 season, focusing on the development of young quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Jayden Daniels. It suggests the game could be a crucial benchmark for both teams as they potentially vie for playoff positioning
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target
This year, the annual NFL Top 100 list is being revealed over the not so brief span of June 22 through September 4. A couple of former Philadelphia Eagles players have already made appearances ( A.J. Brown at No. 80, Josh Sweat at No. 78) but now a current member of the Birds has finally been revealed. Jalen Hurts is checking in at No. 56, according to this list determined by player voting. Here’s a highlights clip that features praise from his peers: For the third year in a row, Hurts’ ranking in the NFL Top 100 has dropped. He was No. 3 in 2023, No. 15 in 2024, and No. 19 in 2025. Hurts is the eighth quarterback to make the list thus far. He finished above the following players at his position: No. 59 – Bo Nix No. 62 – Trevor Lawrence No. 69 – Lamar Jackson No. 72 – Jordan Love No. 77 – Baker Mayfield No. 85 – Brock Purdy No. 98 – Bryce Young It’s interesting to see this player-voted list contrasted with the recent ESPN survey of front office executives and coaches. The latter had Hurts ranked as the league’s seventeenth-best quarterback , which feels harsh. Comparatively speaking, Hurts clearly draws more respect from his fellow players. Perhaps none more than former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson , who went as far to say that Hurts should top the list: I’d guess even some of the biggest Hurts supporters would admit that’s extreme. But the sentiment is admirable. While it’s not surprising to see CJGJ hype up his former teammate and fellow Super Bowl champion, it is pretty notable that he’s putting Hurts above his current Buffalo Bills teammate Josh Allen . What do you think of Hurts’ placement in this year’s NFL Top 100 list? Too high, too low, just right? Scroll down and join the discussion in the comments!

Baltimore Beatdown is proud to introduce this four-part series on Lamar Jackson from former Ravens running back Femi Ayanbadejo! He is a member of the 2000 Super Bowl championship team and an 11-year NFL veteran. He also holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins, with executive credentials from Harvard and Wharton, and has worked in sports media as an NFL analyst since 2013. Ayanbadejo is currently part of the radio team at 105.7 The Fan Baltimore. Lamar Jackson trades like a meme stock in the marketplace of media and executive opinion. His perceived value surges after an MVP season, crashes after a playoff loss, and resets with almost no institutional memory of the underlying fundamentals. The film, the production, and the total body of work change gradually. The narrative price moves overnight. Jackson is judged differently than any quarterback in recent memory. His accolades take the stairs up while his critics put him on the elevator down. Every achievement is earned slowly, scrutinized at every floor, and met at the top with a new reason it was not enough. Every criticism arrives instantly and is amplified before anyone checks whether it is true. Old narratives are zombie-like in their refusal to die. Evidence of underperformance is weighted against his entire body of work, while evidence of growth is often treated as temporary. When the facts change, the framing simply finds a new form. That narrative volatility is visible right now. In the player-voted NFL Top 100, Jackson fell 67 places—from No. 2 to No. 69—after an injury-disrupted season in which he still finished fourth in passer rating at 103.8. Trevor Lawrence ranked 62nd and Bo Nix 59th, while ESPN’s survey of more than 70 executives, coaches, and scouts placed Jackson fifth among quarterbacks. Colin Cowherd’s movement was even more revealing: he ranked Jackson seventh in May, then 11th in July, choosing the “ascending” Drake Maye over an “expensive, declining” Jackson and announcing that he was “selling his stock.” Skepticism about Jackson in major postseason moments is fair; declaring him a depreciating asset after one injury-marred season is not. He is 29. Matthew Stafford just won MVP at 37, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning won at 37 or older, and Tom Brady won at 40. Meanwhile, Baltimore’s supporting cast was ranked 22nd. When Jackson produces an MVP-caliber season, critics say he is loaded with talent. When preseason rankings arrive, that same supporting cast is considered below average while Jackson’s individual value collapses. This is not consistent evaluation. It is narrative volatility. If every NFL player were available in a franchise draft today and the objective were to win now, I do not believe five players would be selected before Lamar Jackson. People underestimating Jackson is not an occasional occurrence. It is his norm. The hyperbole surrounding him since before the draft has helped create a man largely impervious to nonsensical commentary. He rarely responds to it. I will. I write from the intersection of athlete, analyst, admiration, and accountability. Not all criticism of Jackson is invalid. His decision-making in several playoff losses, his postseason ball security, and a 3-5 playoff record are fair subjects for scrutiny. This series addresses them directly. What is not fair is the pattern of unverified character attacks, manufactured destination narratives, and lazy analysis that presents subjective opinion with the authority of sourced fact. Over the past year, the pile-on has been particularly pointed. Emmanuel Acho called Jackson the “common denominator” in Baltimore’s postseason failures and expressed no confidence that he would ever win a Super Bowl. Eric Mangini questioned his maturity and loyalty. Greg Cote invoked Dan Marino as a cautionary comparison. Mike Preston published a commentary containing character allegations and destination speculation without disclosing a verifiable source. These claims do not all belong in the same cate [... truncated ...]
Drops: Trevor Lawrence
Most fans are reasonably sure that, no matter what happens in this upcoming Eagles season, Vic Fangio’s defense won’t be the main obstacle to another deep playoff run. Sure, there are deficiencies on that side of the ball, but overall, there is faith Fangio will work his usual magic. Should the 2026 Eagles suffer another stumble like we saw a season ago, it will likely be the fault of the offense. Last year’s group was an underachieving unit that couldn’t sustain success. Kevin Patullo was clearly overmatched in his first season as offensive coordinator and, as a result, was fired following the Birds’ wild card loss to the 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field. Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni remain, and are joined by new OC Sean Mannion. The hope is Mannion’s new offensive scheme will fix what ailed last year’s inflexible group. Much will depend on the health of the offensive line. Lane Johnson ’s second half departure was a killer, but Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens were never right, either. But it was much more than that. It was clear that, as games went on, Patullo and the Eagles were overmatched. Last year, the offensive coordinator was the fall guy. What happens if the offense continues to struggle this season? Hurts is the best QB in franchise history. But we have seen limitations to his game. He has never been a consistent high-volume passer, and last season, he stopped running with the football. He still does a number of things very well, and he has intangibles that most other quarterbacks do not possess. ESPN’s annual survey of league executives ranked Hurts as the 17th-best quarterback in the NFL, grouped in a tier with Trevor Lawrence and ahead of Bo Nix , Daniel Jones and C.J. Stroud . Most Eagles fans heartily disagree with this ranking, but it’s fair to note Hurts is set to earn $51.5 million in guaranteed money this season, with a cap hit of just under $32 million. If the offense cannot get its act in gear once again, it’s possible the Birds could trade their Super Bowl-winning quarterback after next June 1, when his fully guaranteed money drops to $22 million. Heck, even if the team doesn’t struggle offensively, Howie Roseman may consider it, given contract extensions will soon be needed for Jalen Carter , Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean . But what about Sirianni? Sure, he has one of the greatest records in NFL history and has been the head coach for two Super Bowl participants. He has gone to the playoffs in each of his first five seasons. On paper, he’s an all-time great. And yet, he’s come close to getting the axe on a couple of occasions already. He doesn’t call the plays and, with Mannion on board, he’s not even going to be the architect of the offense. Another stumble and it would be fair to ask what he’s doing to make the Eagles better. All of his hand-picked assistants have failed, and his demeanor on the field rubs some people the wrong way. It would be easy to see the Eagles move on from Sirianni if things go awry. And what about Mannion? Sure, he’s new and you’d think he’d be given a chance to allow his offense to grow. But Patullo wasn’t given that opportunity, as it was so painfully obvious that he was indeed the problem from early on. What if Mannion’s offense is a complete disaster? Why should he get more rope than Patullo? Obviously, it Mannion was a Roseman/Lurie hire, there would be more incentive for the decision-makers to stick by their guy, rather than the Sirianni hire the season prior. Of course, this is only if the worst case scenario happens, a scenario that no Eagles fan wants to encounter next off-season
This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans which side of the ball they expect to be better this season. The Jags’ offense and defense each finished 11th in the NFL in total yards (gained/allowed) in Year 1 under Liam Coen, though the latter unit ranked better in terms of yards per play and DVOA . Most respondents picked the offense — a literal vote of confidence in the unit going forward. With head coach candidates Grant Udunski and Anthony Campanile back to coordinate each side of the ball, the Jaguars are primed to make a leap on both offense and defense, but expectations are especially high for the offense. Can Coen, Udinski, and the rest of Jacksonville’s offensive staff coax an MVP-caliber season out of Trevor Lawrence? Will the running game provide enough juice to make this a top-five NFL offense? According to FanDuel Sportsbook , the Jaguars have +2700 odds to win the Super Bowl, and Lawrence has +1600 odds to win MVP.

The Tennessee Titans finished last place in the AFC South last season for the second consecutive campaign. It wasn’t particularly close. The 3-14 Titans trailed the third-place Indianapolis Colts (8-9) by five victories. One thing that could change the Titans’ fortunes in the AFC South is the ascension of quarterback Cam Ward . If Ward establishes himself as a franchise quarterback and legitimate difference-maker, then the Titans should be vastly improved within the division. The question goes begging, where does Ward already rank in the AFC South? Most Titans fans would agree the team’s QB situation is better than the Colts’, with Daniel Jones coming off an Achilles injury, and on a prove-it contract. C.J. Stroud is probably considered the best quarterback in the division, but he hasn’t met expectations after a perfect rookie season. Stroud’s 23 touchdown passes as a rookie in 2023 is still his career high. And then there’s Trevor Lawrence . The former No. 1 overall quarterback has endured a whirlwind of a career. Lawrence struggled under the combative Urban Meyer as a rookie, but appeared to find his stride under Doug Pederson. There were more struggles (and injuries) in 2023 and 2024. Now, he had another great season under Liam Coen in 2025. Most analysts would probably place both Stroud and Lawrence ahead of Ward in AFC South quarterback rankings. Neither the Texans or Jaguars quarterback have been perfect throughout their careers, however. There’s definitely wiggle room for Ward to surpass one (or both) of them in 2026. Hopefully Ward takes the desired step forward in 2026 under Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll. The Titans have invested in his supporting cast, adding weapons like Carnell Tate , Wan’Dale Robinson, and Daniel Bellinger this offseason. Ward possesses every trait needed to establish himself as a top-two quarterback in the AFC South during the 2026 season
Hello friends, and welcome to the Thursday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! If you want to watch the NFL today, I have some bad news: It's July, and there is no NFL on TV right now. However, you can watch the next best thing: NFL players trying to play golf. The American Century Championship will be teeing off this weekend from Lake Tahoe and it will feature multiple current and former NFL players , including Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Davante Adams, Kyle Hamilton, Drew Brees, Jerry Rice, Marcus Allen, Derek Carr, Jerome Bettis, Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jason Kelce, and, of course, Tony Romo. And since I work at CBS Sports, I will obviously be rooting for Romo. There is also World Cup soccer on today, but I still haven't mentally recovered from the bludgeoning the USMNT took on Monday, so I'll probably stay away from soccer for at least the next 48 hours. One thing I won't be staying away from is today's newsletter. I'll be on vacation next week, so this is the last time you'll be hearing from me around these parts until July 20. As always, here's your reminder to tell your friends to sign up for the newsletter . Let's get to the rundown. If you haven't noticed by now, we've been making our way through the dead part of the offseason by unveiling a new ranking pretty much every week here at CBS Sports. Three weeks ago, we revealed Prisco's list of the top 100 players in the NFL. Two weeks ago, we unveiled our list of the top quarterbacks , and today, we're ranking the top 25 players under the age of 25. Before we get to Tyler Sullivan's ranking, there are two very important rules to go over: Now that we have the rules out of the way, let's check out the top three players on Tyler Sullivan's list: 1. Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (24 -- turns 25 on Jan. 30, 2027). Bijan Robinson has turned into a cheat code. He's arguably the best dual-threat running back in the league and has put together a start to his career unlike anything we've seen before. Robinson's 2,298 scrimmage yards led the NFL in 2025 and set a new franchise record. So far, he's compiled 5,648 yards from scrimmage, the most by a player age 23 or younger in NFL history. Those scrimmage yards also rank fourth-most through a player's first three seasons in NFL history. 2. Rams WR Puka Nacua (25 -- turns 26 on May 29, 2027). Pound for pound, Puka Nacua has an argument as the best wide receiver in the NFL. The Rams receiver led the league in receptions (129) and receiving yards per game (107.2) last season. His career average of 95.3 receiving yards per game is also the highest in NFL history. 3. Lions OT Penei Sewell (25 -- turns 26 on Oct. 9, 2026). Penei Sewell is becoming the gold standard for offensive tackles in the NFL. He's elite as both a pass blocker and a run blocker. He's been a first-team All-Pro in each of the last three seasons, and it's not hard to see why. Although Sewell ranked in the top three this year, he won't be in the top three next year and that's because he'll be 26, so he won't be eligible for the list. Remember, there are 25 names on our list, and if you want to see the full ranking, you can do that here . If you've spent the offseason wondering which team is going to have the best offense in the NFL this year, I think we might finally have the answer. Jared Dubin created a system to rank each team's offensive infrastructure, and it's so complicated that I'm just going to assume his ranking is 100% right. Here's a quick summary of his rating system: Hopefully, that explanation makes sense, because we're moving on to his actual rankings. Based on Dubin's formula, here are the two best teams and the worst team in the ranking: 1. Rams 2. Bears Dubin's take on the two teams: Ben Johnson and Sean McVay are two of the very small handful of best offensive minds in the league. The pass-catching groups have either huge stars (Rams) or great depth (Bears). The offensive lines are above-average to good, and the running ba [... truncated ...]
During this slow part of the seemingly year-round NFL season, writers need something to keep fans and themselves engaged. Chad Reuter, an NFL.com draft analyst, does a yearly “mock draft,” not of college prospects, but of players already on NFL rosters . Everyone is available, and the only criterion is that each team’s draft is intended to give the team the best chance of winning the Super Bowl this year. No prospects with bright futures but with development needed, just guys you could put out there right now to give you the best chance of bringing home a ring come next February. It’s just for fun, obviously, but it does serve a few purposes. It gives you a chance to think about just how much you like particular players on your team’s roster vs. a chance to do better. More interesting to me is to see one NFL draft expert’s take on what he thinks of the Giants’ present roster. Reuter doesn’t discuss that, but it can be inferred from how many of the Giants’ current players get drafted at all in his mock. His ground rules ignore comp picks, picks gained or lost in trades, and current free agents, and he just uses the original first round draft order 1-32, except that he flips it each round so that the team that drafted No. 32 in Round 1 drafts No. 1 in Round 32, etc. He does take into account the head coach and where he sees the strengths and weaknesses of the existing roster. Let’s see what he thinks the Giants’ biggest needs would be for them to win it all this year. Here is the Giants draft he comes up with: Just like in the real NFL, it’s all about the quarterback. Reuter’s first 12 picks are all quarterbacks, in the following order: Josh Allen , Patrick Mahomes , Matthew Stafford , Joe Burrow , Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye , Justin Herbert , Jordan Love , Jared Goff , Trevor Lawrence , Jayden Daniels , Dak Prescott . He finally breaks the string to have Atlanta take Myles Garrett at No. 13. Then it’s back to the QBs with Caleb Williams and Baker Mayfield going next, and four more QBs go later in Round 1 ( Sam Darnold , Bo Nix , C.J. Stroud , and Brock Purdy ). Jaxson Dart doesn’t come off the board until Round 2, pick No. 40 by Chicago . So, question to Giants fans: To win this season , would you take Lamar, whom Harbaugh obviously knows everything about, over Maye, Herbert, or any of the rest who were still on the board? For that matter, would you take him over Dart for this season only? Reuter does give the Giants two of their actual players back to them: Brian Burns in Round 2, No. 60, which is good value, and Patrick Ricard in Round 7, No. 197, because…well, Harbaugh. In Round 3, Derrick Henry at No. 69. Henry is 31 years old now, but you wouldn’t really know it from his 1,595 rushing yards and 16 rushing TDs last year. Greg Roman would be happy. On “Day 3” the Giants find some intriguing values. Kevin Dotson , a devastating run blocker and adequate pass blocker, comes off the board to the Giants in Round 4 at No. 124. Unless I missed it, Sisi Mauigoa went undrafted by Reuter. Defensive tackle Vita Vea , still a plus player at age 31, goes to the Giants in Round 5 at No. 133; it’s not clear that he’s a better run defender than D.J. Reader at this point but he has more juice in the pass rush. In Round 6 – hard to imagine he’s still on the board – it’s wide receiver Garrett Wilson . Yes, please. That’s quite a set of additions to a relatively inexperienced Giants roster, but of course everyone on the current roster is exposed to this draft as well. How many of the Giants’ own players did they lose? I had to go through the entire draft to answer this, but if I didn’t miss anyone, the complete list is: Jaxson Dart (Rd. 2, No. 40) – Chicago Malik Nabers (Rd. 2, No. 57) – New Orleans Andrew Thomas (Rd. 4, No. 125) – Tennessee Abdul Carter (Rd. 6, No. 183) – Cincinnati Arvell Reese (Rd. 7, No. 204) – Dallas So other than Burns and Ricard, who came back to the Giants in the draft, only 5 other current Giants players we [... truncated ...]
Brenton Strange is staying in Jacksonville for the long haul. The Jaguars and the tight end agreed to a three-year, $48 million extension Wednesday with up to $25 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported Wednesday. The extension keeps Strange in Jacksonville until at least 2029, as the 25-year-old was entering the final year of his rookie contract. Strange’s contract ranks fifth among tight ends in average annual value ($16 million) and eighth in total money. After playing for Penn State from 2019-22 and hauling in 11 touchdowns over four years, the Jaguars selected Strange 61st overall in 2023 to support quarterback Trevor Lawrence . Strange was buried behind Evan Engram on the Jaguars’ depth chart as a rookie, making just five catches for 35 yards despite appearing in 14 games. But with Engram playing just nine games in 2024 amid a disastrous 4-13 Jaguars season, Strange played in all 17 games and had 40 catches, 411 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Penn State product took his game to a new level in 2025, setting career highs in catches (46), receiving yards (540) and touchdowns (three). Strange’s progression last year was a major factor in how the Jaguars increased their win total by nine games to 13-4 en route to an AFC South title. When Strange was healthy for 12 games last season, the Jaguars went 11-1 and averaged 30.1 points. When he was sidelined for five contests, they went 2-3 and put up just 22.6 points per game. Strange should continue to play a key role in Liam Coen’s offense in 2026, even with the team taking another tight end in Nate Boerkircher early in the draft. The Jaguars open their 2026 season at home against the Browns on Sept. 13
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … NFL MVP dark horses: Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence among top nine candidates in 2026 – NFL.com 6) JALEN HURTS. Philly’s offense went out with a whimper in the second half of last season, with Hurts posting a net negative on dropbacks in Expected Points Added (-11.1) during his final nine games of 2025, including the Eagles’ playoff loss, per Next Gen Stats. The vibes were even worse than those numbers. Given the scrutiny attached to playing quarterback for the Eagles, Hurts will either enter next offseason with questions about his future with the team or be riding high after returning to something resembling the form that made him the MVP runner-up in 2022 and the Super Bowl LIX MVP. The latter of the two scenarios seems well within reach. Hurts is getting something of a fresh start in 2026, with former NFL QB Sean Mannion replacing Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator after Patullo’s rough lone season as the play-caller. A.J. Brown was shipped to the Patriots after he and Hurts grew apart, according to Brown. The receiving corps has a much different look, with Hollywood Brown , Dontayvion Wicks and first-round pick Makai Lemon arriving this offseason. Second-round selection Eli Stowers gives the offense a freak athlete at tight end. The offensive line remains one of the league’s best. I don’t know if we’ll see peak Saquon Barkley again, but he still ranked 10th in rushing yards (1,140) even while taking a big step back with the rest of the offense last season. The ingredients are there for Hurts to roar back on a contending team. He’ll have to be much better than the version of him we saw for much of last season, though, in an offense that will have him lining up under center more often. Inside Parks Frazier’s quarterback room – PhiladelphiaEagles.com He is directly in the bloodlines of the quarterback – the pulse, the veins, the heartbeat. That is, essentially, the job description for Parks Frazier, the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach after spending 2025 as the offensive passing game coordinator. He is the direct contact for Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee , Andy Dalton and Cole Payton, the four men who are, together, the Eagles’ quarterback room. “From the quarterback perspective, again, it’s just trying to take one of the hardest positions in sports and make it as simple as possible,” Frazier said. ”So you try to chunk things together. You try to make it where guys can play fast even though there’s a lot going on. So that’s been the biggest thing I learned from those guys is just, you know, you see it from the outside and you see all the motions, you see all the different plays, but how do you take that and you package it together to make it simple for the quarterback on the player, so they can go out there and play fast?” Play fast. Play with purpose. Make the right decisions using great fundamentals. Frazier spent the spring furthering his relationships with Hurts and McKee, and also building trust and the foundation with Dalton and Payton. Brendan Sorsby to the Eagles, or the NFL at all, is now looking pretty unlikely – BGN So much for rumors of the Philadelphia Eagles taking a flier on Brendan Sorsby. The NFL officially announced they will NOT be holding a Supplemental Draft this year, which leaves the embattled quarterback — who was already denied NCAA eligibility aftter gambling on his own team — without a path to the top professional football league in 2026. Four Pillars – Iggles Blitz Lurie learned valuable lessons from Rhodes tenure. You cannot sustain success by focusing on veteran players, especially ones at the end of their careers. You must draft and develop. You need a pipeline of young talent. You also need a strong connection between the Personnel Dept and the coaching staff. They must work together to build the right roster. The Eagles would make some hires that led to them being that kind of team and guess what…sustained success became a thing. It also helpe [... truncated ...]
Brenton Strange signs three-year extension with Jaguars worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed tight end Brenton Strange to a three-year, $48 million contract extension with $25 million guaranteed. Strange has become a key part of the Jaguars' offense, catching 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns last season. He is expected to remain the top pass-catching option at tight end in 2026, making him an intriguing TE2 with upside in fantasy drafts
With Patrick Mahomes resetting thw quarterback market (again), the spotlight returns to an awkward place for the Carolina Panthers: Should they pay Bryce Young? Mahomes and Dak Prescott are the only two quarterbacks in the NFL with contracts averaging more than $60M per year. They are followed by Joe Burrow , Josh Allen , Jordan Love , Trevor Lawrence , Matt Stafford , Jared Goff , Brock Purdy , Justin Herbert , Lamar Jackson , and Jalen Hurts . Those twelve quarterbacks all have contracts that exceed $50M in average annual value. Young obviously has not lived up to being considered one of the top twelve quarterbacks in the NFL, despite his initial draft billing. He has one to two years left to force the Panthers to make a decision on his future. The question of the day is, if he earns an extension, what should his contract be worth? Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Panthers fans and fans across the country.
