Philadelphia Eagles (official thread)


The Eagles acquired veteran quarterback Andy Dalton from the Panthers in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Philadelphia has long prioritized stocking its quarterbacks room. Sam Howell's departure in free agency to the Cowboys created an opening alongside franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee.

Dalton, 38, went 1-6 in seven starts during three seasons with Carolina, including 0-1 in 2025 when he was sacked seven times in a 40-9 loss to the Bills.

The 15-year veteran has thrown for 39,793 yards in his career with 254 touchdowns and 151 interceptions.

LB Arvell Reese (All B1G, B1G LB of Year, All American, National Champion)

Joel Klatt deems projected top Ohio State draft pick a 'more physical' Micah Parsons

Joel Klatt sees the world in Ohio State Buckeyes linebacker Arvell Reese. Ahead of the 2026 NFL draft in a little over a month, Klatt described Reese to prospective front offices looking for a future star on the edge.

What he described is one of the most can't-miss linebacker prospects in five years or more, and someone who can acquiesce to any scheme, having adjusted to an "OTTO" role on the strong side the past two years after playing mostly special teams as a freshman and getting into the sport during his high school years.

Klatt predicted a future Defensive Player of the Year award win for Reese, who he essentially implied had an even higher ceiling than the former Penn State Nittany Lion Parsons.

“He’s so inexperienced. See, for quarterbacks, inexperience is a huge red flag, because you gotta have it to succeed. These other positions, like a position where Arvell is playing, inexperience is actually a green flag, ‘cause you’re like ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s so much upside there that you can capture with a guy like Arvell Reese. So he’s gonna continue to get better, he’s just capturing the surface, and I think he’s gonna be a great player," Klatt told Kay Adams on the Up & Adams podcast.

“He’s a longer, more physical Micah Parsons, and he’s just scratching the surface. So, Arvell just started for one year at Ohio State. And during that year, he just scratched the surface of playing on the edge. So he was an off-the-ball linebacker. And then he became kind of a hybrid, off-the-ball, on-the-ball type of player on the edge. And so he can do all the things from a versatility standpoint that Micah can do, and yet he’s just scratching the surface, and he’s bigger than Micah, and he’s longer than Micah."

“Now I think for him, his next step in maturation is becoming like a great first-step pass-rusher. And I think he can do that, ‘cause he’s incredibly explosive. But Arvell is the kind of guy that can have a Micah Parsons impact. I think he can be, at some point in his career, in the discussion for Defensive Player of the Year because of that: the way he can play in space, off-the-ball, on-the-ball, and impact the game, I think, is pretty special.”

Arvell Reese strongly rumored to land with Jets at No. 2. That might not be so bad

DT James Smith (Official Thread)

Ohio State football key transfer portal addition has clearly wasted no time in making his presence felt in Columbus

One of Ohio State’s biggest transfer portal additions is already sticking out.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have a whopping 51 new players on their roster for the 2026 season. It’s an irregularly high number for Ohio State, but that’s the state of college football these days with the transfer portal, especially when you have another large NFL draft class exiting.

Ohio State was semi-aggressive in the transfer portal back in January with several key additions made. The presence of one of those key additions is already being felt in Columbus.

Ohio State’s top transfer portal addition is coming with a serious attitude

Alabama transfer DT James Smith was a crucial addition for the Buckeyes and he figures to be their starting nose tackle to replace Kayden McDonald. Smith is clearly already leaving his mark on the program.

“Still trying to recover and get my heart rate back down from the intimidation factor of being in close proximity to an angry James Smith,” 97.1 The Fan’s Austin Ward said on Monday. “New guy, number three, interesting number choice for someone playing down there in the nose position.”

“It had already been told to me by multiple people, some on the coaching staff. Some [people] not on the coaching staff, you can figure out who those people are if you want, it’s not that difficult probably. But [they] said he is a very serious human being, said ‘I’ll smile when we start winning’, which sounded like a threat and think [it] might have been.”

Smith is a former five-star recruit who spent the first three seasons and 37 games of his college career with the Crimson Tide. Smith has been a solid force at 6-foot-2 and 313 pounds to the point, but there’s still untapped potential there, and he hasn’t quite lived up to the ranking he has as a recruit.

In 2025, Smith made 28 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, and 2.5 sacks in 13 games played. His serious demeanor he goes about with and his physical presence are exactly what Ohio State will want to throw at teams with the middle of their defensive line.

KYBuck4858 1 hour ago
I forgot to add this: I really could care less who else we fill out the LB class with, as the room is very strong already and the '28 class is loaded. 5* Kameron McGee (who some think will be in contention for the #1 overall player spot) is now being recruiting by both LJ and Laurinaitis and is a hybrid player. He visits on April 4, and has said OSU is his dream school.

Walter E. “Ted” Carter (Former OSU President)

Him using the job to benefit his honeypot is dirty as hell, but him getting greased 400K by a crypto firm isn't using the job for his personal benefit? WTF was going on during this clown's tenure and was simply being Wexner's puppet so important that the board overlooked it all? Can Wexner just fucking die already...leave that last check on the counter...we left you a sandwich there.
You could wait it out or I'm sure fire a fee and connections... oh my bad, inner monologue broken again.

I know we are all in on March madness stuff right now but Jamie Shaw posted an article talking with different recruits. For Demarcus Henry he said speaking with him the school he hears most from right now is Ohio State. I hope our NIL will get the job done and help us close the deal. He’s a five-star guy top 15 recruit in 2027.
