Mark your calendars, football fans. As of June 1, there are officially 100 days until the 2026 NFL regular season kicks off on September 9 with a Super Bowl LX rematch.
And folks, what an offseason it's been.
We've seen Myles Garrett - the reigning Defensive Player of the Year - traded to the Los Angeles Rams. We've seen A.J. Brown shipped to New England to reunite with Mike Vrabel. We've seen Drake London get a $141 million extension in Atlanta. The chess pieces have been moved. The rosters have been rebuilt. The stage is set.
OTAs and minicamps are underway across all 32 teams, and the energy is different this year. According to ESPN, key storylines include which rookies will make immediate impacts, how trades reshape the competitive landscape, and whether any dark horse teams can emerge as contenders.
Let's talk about those rookies. The 2026 draft class is loaded with talent. Multiple first-rounders are going to start from Week 1. You're going to see immediate impact players at quarterback, edge rusher, and wide receiver. This class has depth.
The blockbuster trades have completely changed the AFC and NFC playoff pictures. The Rams adding Garrett makes them a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The Patriots getting Brown gives Drake Maye a weapon he desperately needed. The Browns are rebuilding on the fly.
And we're opening with a Super Bowl rematch. The NFL scheduling gods know what they're doing. Nothing gets fans fired up like an immediate grudge match. Last year's title game participants going head-to-head in Week 1? That's .
