2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[dcowboy7]

I dont like names that are already used by another pro team.

Quit being like all the tv shows & movies & come up with something new.

People from many cultures reside in America. Will the NFL play their National Anthem too? Equality right?

If the NFL does this crap im out they will lose me as a fan. Im not opposed to the plight of the African community but this is a major double standard here. Change it from the Anthem to God Bless America and be done with it, or stop playing it before sporting events.

NY Post is reporting that he still doesn't wanna change the name, it's more of a Rivera push to finally do so:

Since acquiring the team in 1999, Snyder has ignored countless voices seeking a change to the franchise’s name many find offensive. Now, with mounting pressure from sponsors and advertisers in the wake of a nationwide movement against racial and social injustice, Washington appears set to adopt a new nickname, though Snyder reportedly remains resistant to the idea.

“He’s bunkered in,” a source with knowledge of Snyder’s deliberations told The Washington Post.

Head coach Ron Rivera told the newspaper he had been recently discussing potential new team nicknames with Snyder.

“If we get it done in time for the season, it would be awesome. We came up with a couple of names — two of them I really like,” Rivera said, without revealing the two names.

The sponsors calling for a change is probably what'll finally make it happen. I don't see the DC/Federal government angle making much of a difference anymore. IIRC the last news about the "new" stadium was that Snyder was looking to re-up at the current Maryland site anyway. Sponsor money though... that'll talk.

Report is that every member of ownership not named Snyder wants out.

Snyder’s really done it this time.

Mahomes just got a 10 year deal!

[imsounoriginal]

He deserves it. Wonder what the total value is gonna be.

Should've paid dak first, way to go Jerry

Why? Nobody is beating his door down for 35+ million a year. Jerry did the smart thing, now he can either pay Dak what he’s worth (20-25 max) or find a new QB next year.

[imsounoriginal]

The risk is if Dak has a phenomenal 2020 season, which I suppose is possible.

Quarterbacks don't grow on trees, they're not running backs

[Tony208]

Insane... what are the numbers though?

[BizCat]

Good o-line (Dallas has), a good RB (Dallas has), and a solid WR core (Dallas also has), you can plug in nearly any QB in the back and have solid results. Don't need Dak.

[BizCat]

Guess it doesn't matter... Dak signed the franchise tag. He'll be paid more than he deserves for one season.

[Batman1980]

He certainly deserves more than Jimmy Pornstar and Matt Stafford.

What is your obsession with hating on your stud RB? Your QB isn’t even in the top half of QBs in the league, but most of what you post is pro Dak, and bemoaning your owner for not paying him like he’s Mahomes, Watson, Tom Brady. Etc.. Hell of the QBs in the NFC East I think most people would rather have Wentz and Jones for the next 5 years instead of Dakota Rayne. I don’t even like Jones, and I’d rather have him as at least he showed some potential. Your guy sucks against any even decent team (and yes the stats from last season back that up).

Well the Chiefs got one title anyways, this deal is going to restrict what they can do now moving forward imo, richest deal in NFL history i take it is not a very cap friendly one.

BS. Stafford on your team would get them further in the playoffs than crybaby ever has. His arm is way better, your receivers are way better, and he’s never had an o-line or an RB like Zeke. But hey keep being a Dakota homer.

Yeah they're saying it'll be worth more than MLB's Mike Trout.

No way Dak is going to get numbers anywhere near Mahomes. Idk if mahomes getting this new contact really even affects the Dak deal at all.
