For one of the the biggest names in the game, it cannot be denied that Russell Wilson moving on to the New York Giants is a big surprise considering how the team is actually leaning to surprise the rest of the league with a revitalized campaign. As he is set to start for the Giants, there are indeed high expectations to look out for with the season coming soon. A 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback, Wilson definitely has a lot to offer on the table for the New York Giants considering how he was satisfactory in his one-year run with the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the age of 36, it does seem that Wilson will be going for some impressive runs in the game now more than ever, and it is expected that the star will shine through with a bigger role to look out for. The Giants haven’t been a winning team over the past few years, and one can be certain that they are seeking to turn their fortunes around this season with a chance to come up with an impressive campaign after being out of the playoffs and the postseason chase for so many years. Leading a Talented QB Room The Giants purposely signed Wilson not to just start, but to also come up with a proper mentorship to new signings in Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. This move also brings the epic rumors of the Giants bringing in the legendary now-former New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers – who will now be likely headed to the former team of Wilson, the Steelers. Still, the 36-year-old quarterback has a lot to offer in his game. Wilson has carved out a stellar decade of work with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012 to 2021. In that span, he has led them to impressive strides that also bore nine Pro Bowl selections. To even spice it up, Wilson won his lone Super Bowl at the MetLife Stadium, where he will now be playing his home games moving forward. Wilson is expected to have Wilson at the front order for the QB rotation with Winston and DeVito on the mix. However, New York also has its no. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which could necessarily mean that they will also initiate a promising selection – and it is possible that they would even pick yet another QB who could actually serve as a protege for Wilson as well. It can be remembered that the Giants also let go of Daniel Jones last season, officially opening up their quest to search for the next franchise QB. Let’s be clear here, Wilson isn’t the answer and will not be permanent – but more of a bridge who will prepare the next generation for New York. Retooling the Offensive Playbook Wilson’s skill set—his mobility, deep ball accuracy, and ability to make plays on the run—would likely lead to a shift in offensive strategy. The Giants’ coaching staff might tweak the playbook to emphasize play-action passes, deep shots downfield, and quarterback mobility, all of which Wilson excels in. The defense would have to account for Wilson’s mobility, which would create more opportunities for Barkley to break out, as defenders can’t just focus on stopping the run game or the quarterback passing. This could lead to more balanced offensive play, helping the Giants control the clock and maintain more sustained drives. While some growing pains might be expected in the transition, if everything clicks, the Giants could become a major contender in the NFC. However, the pressure in New York would be high, and the team would need to surround him with enough talent for a real shot at a Super Bowl.

As one of the most iconic quarterbacks in NFL history, Aaron Rodgers is once again the center of the NFL offseason buzz. According to multiple sources close to the future Hall of Famer, Rodgers is currently mulling his options for where he will play during the 2025 season.  The three teams reportedly in the mix for Rodgers' services are the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Giants, and the Minnesota Vikings. With Rodgers contemplating the next step in his legendary career, fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting his decision. So far, it has been quite a fruitful run for Rodgers in the offseason – and it comes as a surprise considering how his latest run with the New York Jets has been really disappointing. That stint didn’t really lead to any championships and has been quite a bust overall, and this new team would really be a second chance. The Appeal of Three Teams The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been a franchise known for their strong defense, stability, and a culture built on winning. The team currently boasts a talented roster, with emerging stars like All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward and a young, promising defense. The Steelers have also been in need of a quarterback who can guide them back to championship contention even after they signed Mason Rudolph with an assurance so far. The New York Giants are also a team that Rodgers is considering, largely due to the team’s growing potential under head coach Brian Daboll. Rodgers could potentially thrive in New York’s system, bringing experience to a team that is still learning how to win consistently at a high level. The Giants’ passionate fan base and historic franchise status could also appeal to Rodgers, who has often spoken about his love for playing in high-pressure environments. Lastly, the Minnesota Vikings are another team that has emerged as a serious contender for Rodgers' services. Despite having one of the league’s top offenses, the Vikings have struggled to reach the Super Bowl even under J. J. McCarthy’s growth. Rodgers could provide the veteran leadership and clutch performance that the Vikings have been missing. With a dynamic offense already in place and a defense that’s improved over the past few seasons, Minnesota could be a dangerous team with a quarterback of Rodgers' caliber. Will Rodgers Pick the Best Option? Rodgers, who has spent the majority of his career with the Green Bay Packers, has been tight-lipped about his plans for the future, but sources have confirmed that he is seriously considering all three teams. At 41 years old, Rodgers has little time left to capture another Super Bowl ring, and he appears to be prioritizing a championship-ready environment. Insiders have hinted that Rodgers is taking his time to evaluate which situation offers the best chance for success while also factoring in personal preferences, such as the team’s culture and potential for sustained success. While Rodgers' decision is far from final, it’s clear that he has multiple enticing options on the table. NFL fans will be watching closely as the 2025 season approaches, eagerly anticipating where one of the league’s all-time greats will land next. With Aaron Rodgers’ future hanging in the balance, the race to sign the legendary quarterback is on. The Steelers, Giants, and Vikings are all looking to make their case as the best fit for Rodgers’ talents, but only time will tell where the four-time MVP will ultimately decide to continue his illustrious career. Stay tuned, as the drama surrounding Rodgers’ decision is far from over.

After a miserable season in 2024, it seems that the Cincinnati Bengals are still keen to come up with the best possible run while keeping all of their stars together as the team has now signed both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to multi-year deals with the hope of finally reaching the Super Bowl once more and establishing their dominance in the NFL. Both stars have agreed to sign four-year deals with the Bengals, which means that they will get to keep their high-powered offensive line that many teams in the league have envied for quite some time now. This double mega-deal by the Bengals is also a sign that the team is still keen on keeping its commitment to their star quarterback in Joe Burrow, who has returned to action last season but didn’t have much of a landmark impact than in his prior years. It can be remembered that Burrow wanted to keep the band together, and so Cincinnati honored their word and dropped massive deals to both Chase and Higgins. Now it is up to the star trio to finally work together for the years to come and ensure that they will have a bigger chance at proving that they are worth the money. Big Deals Come in Good Supply It has been a long time coming for Chase and this new deal. For starters, the WR has been named to the Pro Bowl in all of his first four seasons and was named All-Pro in the 2024 campaign after a drastic improvement that saw him get a triple crown with 127 receptions, 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. That kind of prolific and set of explosive performances has been quite impressive, and the Bengals definitely felt the need to match his value with more money too. Chase and the Bengals have already begun extension talks last preseason, and his massive game in the 2024 campaign already cemented what was claimed – that the WR is a huge talent to keep for the team. The Bengals waited long to put pen to paper, and they got a solid proof on that note. On the other hand, Higgins was an essential talent who has seen a similar long road before cashing in his best deal. The star just came off his fourth season with 900-plus receiving yards, a career-high 10 touchdown catches to cap off, increasing his Bengals totals of 4,595 yards and 34 TDs on 330 receptions. While his health has been a primary concern – especially when he missed five key games on the 2024 season – the Bengals have already seen enough from him back in 2020, and now they have added a franchise tag on him to keep him on the team for the years to come. Keeping Burrow Happy Of course, the goal of these big signings aside from staying competitive is to actually satisfy the requests of their star QB, Joe Burrow. The team had internal discussions with their star back then, and it seems that he wants another run with all of them at full strength. "We have to find a way to play better in September," Burrow said. "We didn't have Ja'Marr for training camp, we didn't have Tee for training camp for most of it. That's not an excuse. We've got to play better early on.” Since losing in the Super Bowl in 2021, nothing has been easy for the Bengals, but they are making sure that they have what it takes to prove their worth on the big stage, and these massive signings are just the start.

While many Kansas City Chiefs fans may have seen DeAndre Hopkins as a lackluster acquisition for the team back then via a midseason trade, now it seems that the Baltimore Ravens are seeing him as a bigger and more impressive tool to pair with Lamar Jackson as they sign him to a one-year deal heading into the 2025 NFL season. At the age of 32, Hopkins brings in a new dynamic and a lot of experience on the board for the Ravens – who fell short in the divisional against the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens surely welcome a massive offensive talent and hopes that it will be enough for them to come up with a huge campaign with another pass-catcher in the mix. Baltimore has kept retooling its squad so far, and it cannot be denied that they remain as one of the elite contenders in the AFC. Who knows, maybe Hopkins is the missing piece that the team needs to rely on and deliver a promising championship run that they have been looking for in many years in the Jackson era. Teaming Up with an Elite Offense Jackson joins a massive unit on the offensive end for the Eagles along with Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, as well as the tight end duo of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. While he did come up with a huge push that arguably led to 56 catches for 610 yards and five touchdowns - 41 receptions, 437 yards, and four TDs coming in 10 games as a member of the Chiefs. Still, Baltimore is getting Hopkins past his prime. In 12 seasons alone, Hopkins has tallied 12,965 yards and 83 touchdowns on 984 receptions. Considering that he plays at full health this season, Hopkin may well be set to become the 21st player in league history to join the 13,000-yard club and 16th to eclipse 1,000 catches. On top of all that, he is also on pace to set up a new record – a 100-yard receiving season with a 13th different quarterback. That says a lot about how Hopkins has been really a productive performer on the field regardless of who sets the plays for him. It may well be an indicator of greatness on the big stage all along. The Ravens’ offense could take on a more dynamic shape with Hopkins setting the tone and demanding double teams, which would, in turn, create more opportunities for others to step up and contribute. This balance would make the Ravens a far more dangerous team in both the air and on the ground. The goal, of course, is to help Lamar Jackson make it to the Super Bowl stage for the first time, and the Ravens offense really clocked in well with this addition, which should certainly play a huge role in their aspirations of taking down both the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs en route to the Super Bowl stage. Big Adjustment DeAndre Hopkins’ arrival in Baltimore would undoubtedly elevate the Ravens' offense, providing a true top-tier wide receiver for quarterback Lamar Jackson. With Hopkins’ exceptional route-running, hands, and ability to make spectacular catches, he would become a go-to target in key situations, particularly in the red zone. His proven ability to excel in contested catches and high-pressure moments would add another dimension to Baltimore's passing game, which has historically leaned on the run and tight end heavy sets. As a result, Hopkins' presence could force opposing defenses to respect the pass more, opening up additional lanes for Jackson and the running backs. With his precise route-running and ability to create separation, Hopkins would offer Jackson a reliable option in those high-leverage scenarios. In short, Hopkins would not just be a statistical addition, but a transformative player who could help elevate Baltimore into a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

The chase for greatness continues for the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen as the reigning MVP splashes a massive contract with the team, inking a six-year contract with the AFC contenders and seeking redemption for all the previous losses in the playoffs now more than ever. It is with big hope that the Bills can rely on Allen to continue his impressive tear and translate it into massive success in the years to come. Signing the deal with Buffalo means that Allen will now be in a Bills uniform all the way to 2030, and making $55 million per year now puts him as the highest-paid QB in the league next to Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, who is paid at $60 million per year. It is a well-deserved reward for a highly promising individual season by Allen so far. There’s no doubt that Josh Allen is now the face of the Bills and may well be the legendary player who will certainly define the franchise in the years to come, and this deal cements his place as with any other franchise quarterback in the league right now. Now it’s time for Allen to set his eyes on the prize – a Super Bowl win. A Well-Deserved Contract Allen’s deal was monumental – it can be remembered that some critics claimed that he was the actual problem in their AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and yet Buffalo decided to put their trust in him and go all-in with a massive contract – especially after he won his first MVP. At this point, it is easy to say that Allen deserved to get it all. He had a sensational season to remember after throwing 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns – and he even rushed for 531 yards and 12 more scores. If you aren’t that impressed, Allen is the first player in NFL history to tally 40-plus total touchdowns in five seasons in a row – which is a highly impressive feat to begin with. To top it all off, Allen led the Bills to their fifth AFC East title as well. His 26,434 passing yards and 195 touchdown tosses are third and second, respectively, in Buffalo team history, and one can say that his efforts definitely deserved a massive reward – which came in the form of the MVP honors and now, a massive raise. Buffalo finished the season with a 13-4 record, and Allen carried a team that has zero first-team All-Pros and just two Pro Bowlers on the initial roster. That has certainly given him a notch over contender and 2023 winner Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, who arguably put up better stats than in his winning year. Bigger Expectations to Come Josh Allen is undeniably the future of the Buffalo Bills. From the moment he stepped onto the field, his unique combination of arm strength, athleticism, and leadership has been a game-changer for the team. But beyond just physical talent, what sets Allen apart is his growth year after year. He’s proven time and again that he’s not just a quarterback who can make big throws; he’s one who elevates the entire offense and galvanizes the locker room. As the face of the franchise, Allen’s maturity and ability to adapt to different situations have already established him as one of the most promising young quarterbacks in the NFL. His competitive spirit and drive to continuously improve make it clear: Buffalo’s future is in great hands. The Bills are a team built around his strengths, and with him under center, the sky’s the limit for what they can accomplish. It’s not just about the here and now—Josh Allen is positioning Buffalo for long-term success and potential championships. The future is bright, and it wears #17.

It has been a huge year for Saquon Barkley after winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and it cannot be denied that he was expected to be one of the hot players to be extended by the Eagles, and now it seems that he’s getting what he’s due with a new extension deal with the Super Bowl champions. As part of star QB and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts’ plan to get ready for “the next pursuit”, the Eagles are starting to make sure that they will keep all the best talents they have had in beating the legendary Kansas City Chiefs back in February. Barkley, who has been a monumental piece for the whole season, is now brought back for good – at least for the next two years. Barkley has been huge star in his own right, and being paired with Jalen Hurts – another star hungry for dominance in the NFL, seems to be the perfect combination that has bore fruit to a promising championship now more than ever, and it does seem that the Eagles will come up with yet another massive campaign to remember. Running it back with the best running back in the game, after all, seems to be a great idea to consider. Extended New Chapter for Barkley The Philadelphia Eagles and Saquon Barkley have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $41.2 million in new money, according to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The deal, which includes $36 million in guaranteed money and up to $15 million in additional incentives, was later confirmed by the team. This extension keeps Barkley under contract through 2028, marking a major step in his career with the Eagles. The new contract makes Barkley the first running back in NFL history to average over $20 million in new money, with a $20.6 million average annual value. The $36 million in guaranteed money also sets a record for running backs on contracts of three years or fewer. Previously, Barkley had signed a three-year contract worth $37.75 million last offseason, with a $12.6 million average annual salary and $26 million guaranteed. His new deal represents a well-deserved raise for the dynamic running back, who led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards on 345 carries, along with 13 rushing touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the league's most electrifying players. Big Game Barkley Saquon Barkley’s historic 2024 season not only helped propel the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory, but also saw him break a new single-season rushing record, including playoffs, with 2,504 total yards—surpassing Terrell Davis’ previous mark. Barkley’s ability to break big plays was on full display, as he recorded seven runs of 40-plus yards during the regular season. Had the Eagles not opted to rest him in Week 18, he may have had a legitimate shot at the NFL’s all-time single-season rushing record. But for Barkley, a Super Bowl win was the ultimate reward. His new contract extension with the Eagles is a well-deserved recognition of his incredible performance. Barkley’s extension not only locks him in for the future in Philadelphia, but it also reflects the Eagles’ commitment to retaining top talent while managing their salary cap. The deal is expected to lower his $7.4 million cap hit this season, potentially freeing up space for the Eagles to re-sign other key free agents. Over the past year, Barkley has achieved everything he could have hoped for: two new contracts, long-term financial security, a 2,000-yard season, an Offensive Player of the Year award, and, of course, the ultimate prize—a Super Bowl victory.

After that humiliating loss at the Super Bowl LIX, it cannot be denied that there are a lot of expectations that the Kansas City Chiefs would be back with vengeance now more than ever as Travis Kelce also makes it known that he’s coming back for another campaign with the hopes of finally getting back to the winning side of the Super Bowl once more. Kelce, who’s known for his incredible hands, athleticism, and ability to create mismatches against defenders, has been a key part of the Chiefs' offense for years, forming a dynamic duo with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With his leadership, experience, and ability to perform in big moments, Kelce is expected to once again be one of the focal points of their high-flying offense. After all the speculation and offseason rumors, it’s now official—Kelce will be back in action. His presence on the field provides the Chiefs with not only a reliable pass catcher but also a player with the kind of playmaking ability that can change a game in an instant. Confidence in Kelce’s Return At first, there were reports that Kelce was undecided about his future beyond the 2024 season during the Super Bowl week, which would have been likely a different story had the Chiefs managed to pull off the three-peat in their Super Bowl campaign. The retirement talks have always been around in the last two runs by the Chiefs, but now it did seemed serious more than ever – until it wasn’t. "I think it will all work out. But I'm big on that, I'm big on stepping away," head coach Andy Reid said. "I mean, Trav is positive. There's no negative to it. But step back and get yourself away from it. … You just think clearer. We obviously hope he's coming back. He's been positive in that direction. We'll cross all that here next week or so." Kelce did reject all the retirement talk in an interview back in February 4th, where he claimed that he is not ready to give up in snagging trophies that could elevate his career further. The star said he has a lot of football left in him, and claims that this year has given him extra motivation to do more in the game. "Where will I be in three years? Hopefully still playing football," Kelce said about mulling retirement options. "I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I still got a lot of good football left in me. We'll see what happens. I know I've been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That's always been the goal, knowing that football only lasts for so long.” Entering the 13th Year Travis Kelce is about to embark on his 13th season in the NFL, and his career stats already place him among the all-time greats. He currently ranks third in tight end history for receptions (1,004) and receiving yards (12,151), and fifth in touchdowns (77). Over the course of his career, he’s earned 10 Pro Bowl selections, four All-Pro honors, and has captured three Super Bowl rings. But it's his postseason achievements that truly stand out. Kelce holds the top spot in NFL history for career postseason receptions (178) and ranks second in both receiving yards (2,078) and receiving touchdowns (20). In the Chiefs' latest playoff run, he broke a record previously held by Jerry Rice, setting a new mark with nine 100-yard games in the postseason, along with becoming the leader in career Super Bowl receptions (35). As Kansas City gears up for another season, having Kelce back in the lineup gives them a huge boost, both in terms of talent and leadership.

In just a promising news that could well turn the story for the Los Angeles Rams in this offseason, star quarterback Matthew Stafford is reportedly given the green light to have his agents discuss his value with other teams. At first, this does seem to be an attempt to make a trade, but it is more of his agents to find out his value as he heads to a bigger contract in the making with LA. At the age of 37, Stafford is still hoping that he can play for the 2025 season after that disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisionals. His agents doing the check on the market means that the Rams are keen to land him a new contract that could well last to the closing years of his career, which says a lot about the expectations on his game now more than ever. There are indeed talks that make it almost certain that Stafford is seeking value to play for another team moving forward, and then it also nudges on the hope that the market value would also bring him for a promising contract that will see him stay with Los Angeles for a few more runs. The Future for Stafford Not that far from losing to the Eagles in the Divisionals, Stafford knew that his future would be in question moving forward. Of course, he would definitely want to play in his 17th NFL season with the hopes of coming up with a Super Bowl championship now more than ever. He finished the regular season with 3,762 passing yards (269.4 per game), 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 16 games. Stafford was even more impressive in the postseason. In a wild-card victory over the Minnesota Vikings, he threw for 209 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. He followed that performance with 324 passing yards, two more touchdowns, and no picks in L.A.'s loss to the Eagles. Stafford renegotiated his contract with the Rams prior to last season after a lengthy process. As a result, he will carry a $49.6 million cap hit heading into the 2025 season. The Rams could save $27 million by trading him in a post-June 1 move, or $23 million if they decide to cut him after that date. Confidence is something that Stafford hasn’t run short of so far, and him going back for another season is not rare at all, which says a lot about how he is expecting to find himself on the field next season now more than ever – whether it would be for the Rams or even a different team in the long run. Will Stafford Find a Way to Win? The window for Matthew Stafford is definitely closing. Stafford still has the arm strength and decision-making to compete, but there are growing concerns about his durability. Injuries have been an issue over the past few seasons, and it’s unclear how much longer he can take the pounding that comes with playing quarterback in today’s NFL. The Rams’ offensive line, which was shaky last season, also needs to improve significantly if they want to protect Stafford long enough for him to make plays. Moreover, the NFC has become increasingly competitive, with teams like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys boasting stacked rosters that make it harder for any team to break through. Stafford would need the Rams to rebuild quickly around him to have a shot at another Super Bowl appearance. If Stafford is going to win a championship, the Rams need to make moves to surround him with more talent, particularly on the offensive line and at receiver. But even then, the clock is ticking. His time at the top is winding down, and the next couple of seasons could very well be his last shot at another title.

After two disappointing seasons that led to nothing at all, the New York Jets are quickly mending the problem at this point by dropping Aaron Rodgers from the squad. Now the star QB is out of a job at this point and is in dire need of a team to sign him for the coming season especially if he want a shot at redemption. Joining the Jets in 2023 after spending his 18 legendary seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers’ pursuit of a Super Bowl win once more did not work out well so far considering that his health did not do any wonders for him as his Achilles tendon limited him in 2023 while having the 2024 season a little bit on the mid range for his game so far. Now that he’s a free agent, it is expected that teams will be on the race to bring him in for experience in their respective squads. However, considering how fragile he has been with his injuries, it may not be what Rodgers wants to begin with as his value started high on the market but may well be plummeting fast. Moving on From the Jets The Jets expressed its desire to move forward on a new direction on the quarterback position, and they really did it to cut off Rodgers from the squad heading into the new season. Last year, 41-year-old threw for 3,897 yards and recorded 28 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in 17 games. At first, it was expected that Rodgers would be joining the team on 2025 with a revamped playoff squad. However, Rodgers simply didn’t meet any expectations for the team so far. The star QB also said that he will be taking time to ponder the future of his career, considering that he’s already in the closing stages of his run. It is also worth noting that Rodgers does not have any guaranteed money left in his contract. I think everybody understands that it's going to come down to [the] GM and coach and myself, and whether we all want to do a dance together — or if it's not in the cards," Rodgers said. “As far as my own decision, I told them I'm going to take some time," Rodgers did not miss a single game last season, and yet the Jets finished 5-12, which led to the firing of both head coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas. That definitely left him with few options as the new management was hard to communicate with so far. The Future for Rodgers Aaron Rodgers is undeniably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he’s definitely been through a lot in recent years. His injury last season—rupturing his Achilles in the first game—raises a lot of questions about his future. But, the way he’s always pushed through injuries and proved people wrong, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he found a way to keep playing high. “If you want to play, if there’s anything in your gut that’s telling you, man, I think I could go one more year then I would say do it,” Brett Favre said of Rodgers. “Because you can’t go back. Once you leave, that’s it. You move on. If there’s any little inkling in him that he wants to play and prove that he can still do it at a high level I would say do it.” That said, there’s always a point where it's about the future of his health, and whether it’s worth it to continue risking further injury, especially after a major setback. However, he’ll need to have a team interested in his services if he wants to get a new chance.

It has been a massive 12 seasons for Lane Johnson with the Philadelphia Eagles, and with his most recent run capped off with a Super Bowl win, it cannot be denied that Johnson is always linked to retirement one season after another. But it seems that touching the Lombardi trophy has given Johnson more reason to play for the Eagles at this point. A lot of people expected Johnson to move on from the Eagles and ride off into the sunset with Johnson already bringing in another Lombardi Trophy to his collection. However, he has nothing but love for the team in the last 12 years, and he is surely looking forward for more years to come with the team now more than ever. It can be remembered that Johnson still has two more years left on his deal, and the offensive tackle is definitely bringing high energy to the game for the team, which makes him one of the pivotal pieces for the Eagles heading into their title defense season. With him returning once more, fans can expect Johnson to deliver a bigger run that no fans have seen from the Eagles in a long while. A Promising Hope for Johnson Named to six Pro Bowls, Johnson has been a pivotal piece in both Lombardi Trophy runs for the Eagles. His unfailing offensive awareness and strength have rewarded the Eagles well with a lot of impressive wins in his career, and all of that has happened with him set to turn 35 this May. In 2024 alone, Johnson has managed to allow only just 10 QB pressures, which is the fewest among all qualifying offensive tackles – while also giving up zero sacks and just a lone QB hit, which says a lot about his impact on the Eagles’ run as a veteran player who’s seen it all on the big stage. Despite all that, his age and closing window in the game are nothing to be considered at all – he has enough left in the tank to go for a potential third ring and join a lot of Super Bowl legends in the game as well. On top of that, more years for Johnson means a chance to groom potential OTs in the long run, as the team did with Jason Kelce and Cam Jurgens. The Will to Win Johnson entered the Super Bowl LIX with a lot of motivation. The OT had a lot of memories that served as fuel to their fire when he brought up the “0 Sacks” shirts won by the Kansas City Chiefs in their Super Bowl LVII victory parade, and they sure did deliver that kind of strong message to knock off the defending champs. "Last time being here, that shit changed my life...I put on a good show, but I left that motherfucker so empty,” said Johnson. “Shit doesn't matter but winning ... Ask yourself how you want to be remembered. Remember the shirts they had on at their parade. Keep that in mind while y’all are annihilating him tomorrow.” Well, as it turns out, those words weren’t just hype as the Eagles took it personally – they shut down Patrick Mahomes indefinitely and they finished the night with a career-worst 6 sacks on Mahomes – which is one shy from the Super Bowl record. On top of that, they had two massive interceptions and a dominant 40-22 victory at the Superdome in New Orleans. Johnson has been an iconic player for Philadelphia over the years, and it is no surprise that fans would love to see him back in action once more as he returns for more years with the Eagles – on the hunt for more titles.

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t see much of a big stride in their games back in that humiliating loss at the Super Bowl LIX, where the two-time defending champions didn’t see much daylight that they didn’t score a field goal until the third quarter. However, DeAndre Hopkins says that he’s not done just yet and seeks to play more years. Joining the Chiefs back in 2024 after being traded by the Tennessee Titans in the midseason, Hopkins has been adamant that he would be getting a chance to become a Super Bowl winner by joining the heavy favorites to win it all. While they have managed to come up with a generational collapse like no other, the wide receiver is still keen to play more games in the coming years. Hopkins had a promising season for the Chiefs in 2024, and it would have been a massive year to remember considering how well he played for the team but could not cap it off with a Super Bowl championship. The Chiefs’ WR, however, has been keen on showing that he can still play at a high level and intends to return for 2025. A Hope for Hopkins DeAndre Hopkins is definitely not calling it a career just yet at this point in time, and it does seem that there are many expectations for him to stay on the attack with the hopes of pulling off yet another Super Bowl run. At the age of 32, the Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver has been exceptional in his receiving game, and it cannot be denied that he still has a lot of strong games left in him. In just 10 games in the regular season for the Chiefs, Hopkins has managed to generate a total of 41 receptions and tally 437 yards on four touchdowns – despite having a poor start to his Chiefs stint. On the road to the Super Bowl LIX, however, Hopkins’ brilliance looked like it waned over time, going for just one reception and 11 yards in the tight AFC Championship Game. "Don't know what you heard but I'm not done yet," Hopkins said of the Super Bowl finish, where the Chiefs ultimately looked depleted when it mattered most. "I feel the same after every loss, but obviously this one has a little bit more meaning - the Super Bowl - I feel bad." In his first Super Bowl appearance, Hopkins nailed two big catches for 18 yards, finding the end zone in their unlikely comeback as the Chiefs could not answer against the blazing offense and defense of the Philadelphia Eagles, who would go on to prevent the Chiefs from accomplishing a feat of three Super Bowl championships in a row. Hopkins scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter with 2:54 left in the game after he caught a seven-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes to give the Chiefs a boost in an already losing game. Different Place for Hopkins? There are talks that while Hopkins will be returning to the 2025 season, there is still a matter of “where”. Rumors claim that the Chiefs may no longer be interested in bringing back Hopkins for another year despite a promising year for a 12-year veteran. Still, he could prove to be a pivotal piece for any other team that may need his services. A return to Houston, for starters, may well be in the mix after the Texans suffered massive hits with injuries to their WR corps last season. Both veterans Stefon Diggs and Robert Woods are slated to enter free agency, while their young stud in Tank Dell is set to brace for a long recovery road after he suffered a tough knee injury late in the season.
