As Alabama enters the 2026 college football season, optimism around Kalen DeBoer’s third year in Tuscaloosa is mixed with uncertainty. The Crimson Tide remains one of the nation’s most talented teams on paper, but an ongoing quarterback battle and questions along the offensive line and in the running game have created one of the widest ranges of expectations Alabama has faced in years.

Earlier this offseason, ESPN’s Anthony Slater noted that Los Angeles is hoping to land wing Jonathan Kuminga, but the team needs to create some cap…

The Dallas Cowboys have a George Pickens decision coming in the next year or so, as he is set to play under the franchise tag in 2026. Making a little over $27 million, if Pickens is tagged again in 2027, that jumps up to around $33 million, but many question whether Dallas and Pickens want that. We know of George’s desire to get a long-term deal, which, for now, Dallas has shut the door on, and while there are some sections of Cowboys Nation who are hopeful that it will be agreed to, it does feel like 2026 could be Pickens’ last as a…
