Maybe it's because I have a math degree, but I wouldn't consider 5-year $100M -> 6-year $156 as a downgrade in salary.
it's not - it's the perceived downgrade going from a backloaded deal where he made more last year than the new deal would pay him this year.

betting favorite for the Heisman: https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/43640396/texas-qb-arch-manning-betting-favorite-win-heisman-trophy

I hate this mock because it has Golden going to the chefs: https://www.on3.com/pro/news/2025-nfl-draft-trade-new-no-1-pick-highlight-cbs-sports-updated-mock-shedeur-sanders-abdul-carter/
good for Golden but bad for the NFL:
Spoiler1. Tennessee Titans – Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
New Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi made it clear the franchise wouldn’t pass on a “generational” talent with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Abdul Carter is generating that type of buzz after anchoring the Penn State defense and came in as CBS Sports’ top selection.
Carter cemented himself as one of the top prospects in this year’s draft with huge numbers in 2024. He led the nation with 23.5 tackles for loss while totaling 68 tackles and 12.0 sacks, and he could be the centerpiece the Titans need on their defense as Brian Callahan enters Year 2.
2. Las Vegas Raiders (projected trade with Cleveland Browns) – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

The most accurate passer in the country this past season, Shedeur Sanders is widely considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. Considering the Browns’ quarterback situation with Deshaun Watson still under contract despite being ruled out for 2025 with an injury, they could opt to trade the pick.
That’s where Las Vegas comes in, and CBS Sports projects the Raiders to trade up to No. 2 to select Sanders under new coach Pete Carroll. He’s coming off the best year of his career at Colorado, completing 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns.
3. New York Giants – Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Another team with a quarterback question, the New York Giants would also benefit if the Titans went elsewhere at No. 1. In CBS Sports’ updated mock draft, Cam Ward fell to No. 3.
Ward put together a monster season at Miami after transferring from Washington State, leading the nation with 39 passing touchdowns while totaling 4,313 yards and just seven interceptions. With Brian Daboll still in the fold as head coach, Ward’s improvisational skills could remain on full display in the offense once run by Josh Allen in Buffalo.
4. New England Patriots – Will Campbell, OL, LSU
With their quarterback in tow in Drake Maye, the Patriots will now look to protect him. Enter Will Campbell, the standout offensive lineman from LSU who continues to create buzz as the top lineman in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Campbell anchored the LSU defensive line this past season while becoming a consensus All-American. The Patriots will surely be looking for o-line help after Maye was sacked 34 times in 13 appearances as a rookie.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Despite missing most of the 2024 season with an injury, Will Johnson showcased his skills while helping lead Michigan to a national championship in 2023. CBS Sports projects him to become a centerpiece of the Jaguars’ defense as new coach Liam Coen builds out his staff.
Johnson only appeared in six games this past year, but both his interceptions turned into pick-sixes. In 2023, he had a career-high four picks while anchoring the Michigan secondary to end the Wolverines’ title drought.
6. Cleveland Browns (projected trade with Raiders) – Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
In return for the projected trade with the Browns, the Las Vegas Raiders would take another Colorado star. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter could take his elite skillset to Cleveland, although which position he’ll play is still to be determined.
Hunter electrified college football this past season en route to Heisman honors. He totaled 1,258 yards and a Big 12-leading 15 touchdowns on offense while adding 36 tackles and four interceptions on defense as a cornerback – cementing himself as a bona fide two-way star.
7. New York Jets – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The New York Jets face multiple questions on offense as Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams weigh their futures. But CBS Sports projects the franchise to add another key weapon as Aaron Glenn builds out his staff, with Tetairoa McMillan going No. 7 overall.
McMillan was straw that stirred the drink at Arizona this past season as he ranked third in the nation with 1,319 receiving yards to go with eight touchdowns. The Jets are still in line to have Garrett Wilson in the wide receiver room, and depending on the direction Adams goes, McMillan would be another elite addition to the unit.
8. Carolina Panthers – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Mason Graham was at the forefront of Michigan’s staunch defense the last two seasons, and he comes in as a projected Top-10 pick in CBS Sports’ updated 2025 NFL mock draft. The Carolina Panthers take him at No. 8 overall in the latest projection as a top young piece of their defense.
Graham earned All-American honors amid a career year in Ann Arbor in 2024. He totaled 45 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks – setting career-highs in all three categories while also cementing himself as a top draft prospect.
9. New Orleans Saints – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
His numbers were down in 2024, but Luther Burden showcased an NFL-level skillset in 2023 when he topped 1,000 receiving yards. He continues to be an interesting prospect, and CBS Sports projects him to go to the New Orleans Saints at No. 9.
The Saints are still in the midst of their coaching search, but all signs point toward Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as the favorite. Burden would add an interesting weapon to the offense after he totaled 2,263 yards and 21 touchdowns across three years at Missouri.
10. Chicago Bears – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
When Ben Johnson was with the Detroit Lions, the franchise took Jahmyr Gibbs with a Top-12 pick. CBS Sports projects a similar path for the Chicago Bears, selecting Ashton Jeanty at No. 10 overall.
Jeanty is coming off one of the most decorated seasons in recent memory as he finished just behind Travis Hunter in the Heisman Trophy voting. He just missed Barry Sanders’ rushing yards record, totaling 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground to lead Boise State to a College Football Playoff appearance.

Uh huh, and Ewers had a $5 million, no wait, $6 million, actually, $8 million NIL offer to transfer from a team other than Texas
Who was the source, Boras?
I thought that first but it's a team he's not high on and has a one year opt out - similar to what Correa settled for in Minnesota. Doubtful this leak puts any pressure on any suitors. This is allegedly the Blue Jays.

Alex Bregman Reportedly Has Six-Year Offer From Club Other Than Astros
some context why Bregman may not come back to Houston and why he's struggling to find a team:
QuoteThe $156MM offer is close-ish to that but Heyman and Nightengale both relay that Bregman viewed that as a paycut. That offer would come with an average annual value of $26MM. Bregman signed an extension with the Astros back in March of 2019, a five-year, $100MM pact. That was only a $20MM AAV but it was backloaded. Bregman got a $10MM signing bonus and then had a salary of $11MM in the first three years of that deal, followed by salaries of $28.5MM in the last two. Though the recent offer from Houston would have come with an AAV bump compared that entire contract, it appears the immediate downgrade in salary wasn’t satisfactory.
QuoteSince he rejected a qualifying offer, any club apart from Houston that signs him would be subject to draft pick forfeiture. As a tax payor, the Cubs would forfeit their second- and fifth-highest picks as well as $1MM from next year’s international bonus pool space. The Jays and Red Sox, who didn’t pay the tax and aren’t revenue-sharing recipients, would only forfeit $500K of pool space and their second-highest pick. The Jays already surrendered a pick to sign Anthony Santander, so they would actually surrender their third-highest pick if they also signed Bregman. The Tigers, as a revenue-sharing recipient, would give up their third-best pick. Houston stands to receive compensation if Bregman signs elsewhere, though since they paid the tax last year, they would only receive a pick after the fourth round of the upcoming draft. Re-signing Bregman would take that potential compensation away.

Him slipping now doesn't mean he'll keep falling. Pretty much every year draft analysts go through the same process with prospects. During the season they focus on the player's film and on-field play, then as we get to Senior Bowl and combine season prospects start to get underrated or overrated depending on measurables, and finally a couple weeks after the combine the analysts go back to rewatching the film and guys with good film move back up. This happens pretty much every cycle and it was always going to happen to Banks since he's smaller than your normal 1st round OT. As long as Banks' height or wingspan are below average but not drastically low I don't think his stock will change a ton from where it was towards the end of the season.
The other thing that will help him is there aren't many other highly-rated OTs. Will Campbell is the only other OT thought to be a worth a top 10-15 pick. Personally, I don't think Campbell's play was all that great and he seems overrated to me. Either way, there's a good chance Banks goes top 10 or top 15 off teams reaching for need alone.

I just don't see a first round WR in the entire draft this year outside of possibly McMillan, and that is assuming a lot. It wouldn't surprise me to see Burden and Golden drop into round 2 with a few other viable options. I think Banks will ultimately be drafted in the top 10-15. If Barron runs well I could see him as a top 15-20 pick. I still say that Quinn will shoot back up draft boards heading into the draft and find himself at the bottom of the first.
Yeah Golden doesn't seem like a first rounder to me, either. But what do I know?
Also agreed on Ewers. The injury history is still a big issue even if he kills it in the workouts.

I don’t know if you heard it here first or whether some motherfucker said it upthread….
but Matthew Golden is going to be a top tier WR in the NFL
Jeremiah first mentioned it on Eisen's show a week or so ago. Golden really impressed late in the year and NFL teams noticed.
