2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[R3P0]

So Shilo Sanders has fired his father as his agent.

While hosting a Twitch livestream on Saturday during the 2025 NFL Draft, Shilo Sanders told his viewers that – after starting the draft process with his dad representing him – he had signed with an agent.

"Dad was our agent," Sanders said, referring to his brother Shedeur and himself, "but that hasn't been working out too good. So today I had to sign with an agent."

Sanders had indeed "fired" his father and hired NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus to represent him.

Rosenhaus announced Sanders' signing with a social media post on Saturday evening welcoming the defensive back to the Rosenhaus Sports Representation "family."

My guess is that’s where the Raiders will future proof Geno as well.

I know Arch Manning was a near top in the nation player in HS, but if this guy is such a can't miss, why did he effectively not play in 2 seasons at Texas. The guy they started over him is a 7th round draft pick.

This is my thought on Archie too, if he was a great player he wouldn't be holding a clipboard every Saturday afternoon.

On Sanders, he screwed himself, he has no one to blame but himself and his dad for what happened. Props to his other son who fixed this issue before it damages his own career. Drew Rosenhaus will at least advise him on the correct way to handle and promote himself.

Who i feel most bad for is the poor guy the Browns drafted in the 3rd round who will most likely have his career side tracked because of the circus he will now be forced to be apart of.

Which I don't understand - I thought Ewers would have gone much higher.

This Shedeur Sanders prank was good, but it could've been a whole lot better.

It was about as lame as you could possible get imo, even worse now with footage of it.

Wonder how funny it would be if his dad is let go by the Falcons, and little Jimmy here has to find a way to pay his own way through college! There is nothing funny about putting your father's job at risk over something as idiotic as this!

George Kittle becomes highest paid TE in the NFL with a 4 yr extension. This is fantastic news, hope he retires with the 49ers.

I laffed, but to each their own.

Tiki Barber has a theory as to why he fell so precipitously. It makes a whole lot of sense, but who really knows?

I've disliked the 49ers ever since I lived in the East Bay for 5 years in my youth.

That said, good on him.

The Vikings extended Andrew Van Ginkel.

Heh, reading East Bay just totally made me think of the catalog from forever ago. I had totally forgotten about them!

Looks like this moron just cost his father $100,000 dollars and the Falcons franchise $250,000 dollars. I bet his son is not laughing so hard now, truthfully the Falcons reserve every right to fire his father, i mean can you actually trust him after this, i know if someone just cost me a 1/4 of a million dollars i wouldn't!

Looks like there will be some community service involved also, this could technically fall under Phone Fraud through the FTC.

I think there were three others and possibly more players called. This seems lack a serious lack of security.

[El Rey]

whether you like Sanders or not that "prank" was wack af. word is there were other calls made to other players during the draft but this was the most high profile one.
not sure why ATL would fire Ulbrich (the fine is pennies to the org) it wasn't like he left his ipad open in a public space he was at home, I don't think he would imagine his ADULT son would do something so dumb for internet clout. it was just monumentally dumb in the first place, dumber that he put it on film.

Cooper DeJean was pranked last year.
Abdul Carter was pranked also this year.
