    Mar 19 2025
    The effects of free agency are felt long before teams take the field in September. Hopes are up in certain fanbases. Not so much in others. Teams are making plans that they couldn't consider a few weeks ago because of this player or that one. And, of course, teams can now plunge headlong into the draft knowing exactly what their needs are. So how did free agency affect the draft. Dane Brugler joins Robert Mays to dive into that question on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.

  • Free agency day three recap: So...you're freakin' out
    Mar 12 2025
    Free agency hasn't been fun for everyone. Just ask Cowboys fans, who have watched their team mostly sit out free agency again.

It's safe to say those fanbases are freakin' out, and they aren't the only ones. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen discuss the teams might have their fans a bit on edge on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
