The Detroit Lions are expected to enter into long-term contract negotiations with star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson this offseason. Hutchinson is also eligible to have his fifth-year option picked up by the club in the amount of $22,612,000. The team could still negotiate a contract if they choose to pick up the fifth-year option, which seems likely given his success through the first three years of his career. Unfortunately, the former No. 2 pick had his season cut short abruptly when he suffered a broken fibula and tibia against the Dallas Cowboys. In five total games, Hutchinson recorded 7.5 sacks,…
On Friday, the NFL learned the Jacksonville Jaguars were hiring former Miami Dolphins linebacker coach Anthony Campanile to be their new defensive coordinator. Now, another former Dolphins coach will head up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. Former Miami offensive assistant coach Josh Grizzard doesn’t have an extensive coaching history, but he impressed Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles enough to get a big promotion as he was recently promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator. It’s a big jump and opportunity for a guy who began his NFL coaching career in 2017 as a quality control coach in Miami. In…
Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson has been named to the 2024 PFWA All-Rookie Team, the Pro Football Writers of America announced Tuesday. Robinson appeared in all 17 games with one start during his first NFL season, recording 26 tackles (16 solo), 6.0 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits and four passes defensed. His 6.0 sacks and 14 quarterback hits were both the second-most among NFL rookies in 2024. He also tied Marco Coleman (1992) for the fifth-most sacks among rookies in franchise history. Robinson was one of the most impactful defensive rookies of the 2024 season. His growth…
Turned out third time was the charm for Anthony Campanile. After interviewing for the position of defensive coordinator with the Miami Dolphins the past two offseasons, Campanile has landed that job with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Campanile, who spent the 2024 season with the Green Bay Packers after the Dolphins bypassed him in favor of Vic Fangio and Anthony Weaver the past two offseasons, was hired Thursday to lead the Jacksonville defense under new head coach Liam Coen. Campanile spent four seasons (2020-23) as Dolphins linebackers coach, which was his first NFL job after he spent time at Rutgers and the…
With the Super Bowl matchup now set, it’s time for national media outlets to start revisiting NFL history, and for Sports Illustrated that meant ranking the 50 most memorable games. The Miami Dolphins not surprisingly were featured prominently on the list put together by a panel of former and current media members and former NFL executives, but it also shouldn’t be a surprise their six games in the two-part countdown took place a long time ago. Keeping in mind that the ranking was about the “most memorable” games and not necessarily the greatest games, the highest Dolphins game on the…
Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane contradicted Tyreek Hill’s assessment that the team needs roster additions. Achane emphasized team unity over personnel changes following Miami’s playoff miss. Achane, who led the Dolphins’ offense with 1,499 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns in 2024, backed his teammates. His stance differs from Hill, whose production fell to 959 receiving yards — his lowest output since 2019. On Friday, Achane appeared on FanDuel’s “Up and Adams” show. Host Kay Adams pressed him about Hill’s comments on Jan. 25 regarding the need to “add some dawgs” to the roster. “We got dawgs, we just…
Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo recently expressed his doubts about how Keeanu Benton, a defensive tackle prospect, would fit into the team’s defensive front. “I don’t know how Keeanu Benton fits,” Fittipaldo said, sparking debate among Steelers fans and analysts. Benton, a standout defensive tackle from Wisconsin, is considered one of the top prospects at his position in the upcoming NFL draft. However, Fittipaldo’s comments suggest that he may not be a good fit for the Steelers’ defensive scheme. The Steelers’ defensive front has been a strength of the team in recent years, with players like Cameron Heyward and…
Ryan Day’s Well-Deserved Break: Ohio State Coach’s Softball Shenanigans Spark Laughter and Backlash After seven long years, Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Day finally achieved his ultimate goal: winning the national championship. With the Buckeyes’ historic victory in the 12-team College Football Playoff, Day earned the ninth national title in program history. Now, with the pressure off, Day is letting loose and having some fun. One of his recent leisure activities, however, has sparked some good-natured backlash. Day joined the Ohio State Buckeyes softball team for a game, and videos of his, shall we say, less-than-impressive performance have surfaced online.…
Ohio State Football: Replacing Justin Frye – Eight Coaches in the Running The Ohio State Buckeyes are on the hunt for a new offensive line coach after Justin Frye’s departure to the Arizona Cardinals. With a national championship win still fresh in their minds, the Buckeyes are looking for the perfect candidate to fill Frye’s shoes. Here are eight coaches who could potentially take on the role. 1. *Kevin Wilson*: A familiar face in Columbus, Wilson has maintained close ties to Ohio State through his son Toby, a former walk-on offensive lineman. With his experience as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator…
Kentucky Wildcats Face Injury Challenges Ahead The Kentucky Wildcats will once again have to navigate the challenges of key player injuries as they prepare for their upcoming game. Lamont Butler, a crucial component of the team’s backcourt, will remain sidelined after missing the previous game against Tennessee. Butler’s absence is significant, given his impressive statistics this season, including 13.2 points, 4.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, while shooting an impressive 51.3% from the field. However, the Wildcats have already demonstrated their ability to adapt to his absence. In Butler’s stead, Jaxson Robinson is expected to take on additional ball-handling…
