Quarterbacks & Ownership

The Miami Dolphins committed $67.5 million over three years to Malik Willis, signaling confidence that the young QB can anchor the franchise through at least 2028. That bet echoes a broader theme in the latest mock draft analyses, where most experts agree quarterbacks should come off the board in the first three rounds, with tight ends sliding noticeably deeper than in years past. Meanwhile, a look back at franchise QB acquisitions shows owners have wildly uneven records, with some securing generational talent and others, like Jimmy Haslam, winding up on the wrong side of quarterback roulette.

Culture & Leadership

Florida enacted the "Teddy Bridgewater Act," allowing high school coaches to spend personal money on player expenses like food and transportation, a move that could reshape grassroots development by easing the financial burden coaches face when trying to keep players in programs. Separately, Carlie Irsay-Gordon is stepping into the Colts ownership role with growing public scrutiny, and she acknowledged that emerging from her father's long shadow has made criticism an unavoidable part of the job, though she said she's ready for it.
