Chargers linked to trade for All-Pro cornerback
Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey could be on his way out, as trade buzz has been circulating recently. And should Ramsey be shipped, the Chargers could be potential suitors for him.
Ramsey has expressed a preference for playing on the West Coast, specifically mentioning the Rams and Bolts as teams he would play for, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter added that a trade may happen before training camp.
The Chargers could benefit from Ramsey's presence, adding some experience to their young cornerback room, especially after losing Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel Jr.
Despite being 30, Ramsey continues to play at a high level. He's earned a 70.0-plus coverage grade in seven of his nine NFL seasons, according to Pro Football Focus. And Ramsey has amassed 25 interceptions and 79 pass breakups on 755 career targets.
Ramsey's contract is expensive, as he is scheduled to make a fully guaranteed $24.235 million in 2025. But Miami is likely to eat some of it, and their compensation should be low, with a Day 3 pick being what it takes to get him.
Additionally, Derwin James and Ramsey were teammates at Florida State and are still close friends. Ramsey has publicly expressed his desire to play alongside James again in the NFL.

5 Tennessee Titans games named 'the least watchable' of 2025 season
When the NFL released the regular season schedule for 2025, many were shocked that the Tennessee Titans would not play any primetime games. While the league's spokesperson outlined the reasoning for this, it was still a bit of an outlier as compared to past league history. Of course, with no one knowing what to expect from the Titans in 2025, keeping them out of primetime may be the safest way to go for the NFL and the networks, who rely on viewership and advertising as part of their revenue stream. With many analysts predicting another horrid season ahead, the current excitement could easily disappear if the losses begin to pile up. Even before the start of the season, multiple Titans matchups have been named among the league's least watchable games. The matrix used analyzed every game, filtering it through an algorithm based on win-loss disparity, Super Bowl odds, and initial point spreads, and then allowed the computers to do their work. Giants, Browns, Titans Top 'Bottom' List The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans each appear 5 times on our Top 25 Least Watchable Games list this season. Three Week 18 games fill out the bottom of the list. The Tennessee Titans game at Jacksonville in Week 18 rates as the least watchable of all the 272 NFL games this season. The Carolina Panthers game across the state of Florida during Week 18 and the in-state rivalry between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns are close behind. When it's all over, the Titans will join the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns with five games on top of the least watchable games list on their schedule. That includes the league's least watchable game of the season, as released by their computers, the Week 18 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The other least watchable games are against the Arizona Cardinals (Week 5), Las Vegas Raiders (Week 6), and San Francisco 49ers (Week 15). Ironically, all Titans road games in 2025, an incredible feat for a team that hasn't won a home game in regulation since the 2023 season. Luckily, there are many things that must still play out before the first snap is taken this year, and things will change across the league. There are still player additions, injuries, and a myriad of other questions that must be answered during training camp before an accurate assessment can be made, especially for a young team like the Titans. Right now, this should be viewed as more bulletin board material as they prepare for the season.

John Harbaugh's legendary career gets its due with eye-opening HC ranking
The proper respect is given to the Ravens' John Harbaugh in a recent ranking of NFL head coaches. Whenever we discuss the Baltimore Ravens' rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers, we mention bruised bodies and longtime animosity. We mention legends and Pro Football Hall of Famers, and though we talk about the longevity of two great head coaches, we probably don't delve into what they have accomplished often enough. No two current leaders of any two football teams have met at midfield to exchange postgame handshakes more often than John Harbaugh and Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin. In total, they've locked horns 38 times, and it will be a long time before any two meet or exceed their number. Harbaugh enters year 18 as Ravens head coach. His tenure is second only to, you guessed it, Mike Tomlin. He enters year 19. John Harbaugh lands third on Pro Football Network's ranking of NFL head coaches. Time has flown. Though he still looks like he is in his twenties, Harbaugh's near-20-year run enters another season with much on the line. The same is true for Tomlin. The Steelers will be expected to qualify for postseason contention as well. Their annual pair of clashes will have much to say about where they are seeded. Pro Football Network's Brandon Austin recently ranked the NFL's head coaches. These two rivals both earned top-ten rankings. Tomlin lands at seven. Harbaugh is ranked third. Here's Austin's reasoning behind placing John among the top three. "John Harbaugh has been a model of consistency since taking over as the Baltimore Ravens' head coach in 2008. A Super Bowl champion, Harbaugh has delivered double-digit win seasons in six of the past seven years, with just one losing record since 2016... Harbaugh's adaptability is one of his greatest strengths. He won with Joe Flacco. Then, once Lamar Jackson arrived, he and the staff reshaped the team around his unique skill set, and it worked faster than many expected." No lies have been told so far. Let's continue... "Harbaugh has stood the test of time, battling in two separate loaded AFC eras. He went toe-to-toe with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. Now, he's perennially challenging Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow for conference supremacy." Coach Harbaugh is only exceeded on this list by Andy Reid and Sean McVay. Nick Sirianni (ranked fourth) and Dan Campbell (fifth) round out the top five. Kyle Shanahan (sixth), Jim Harbaugh (eighth), Matt LaFleur (ninth), and Sean Payton (tenth) round out the top ten. Typically, when we discuss the brilliance of what we see on the sidelines weekly, Harbaugh isn't brought up. Some see that as being disrespectful. That's understandable, but perhaps this happiness serves another purpose. Could an argument be made that John Harbaugh is so good that he is taken for granted? Don't worry. Another Vince Lombardi Trophy will place him in rare air. He'll have a chance to win one next February as, thanks to his leadership, Baltimore will again be among the AFC's top Super Bowl contenders.

Stat experts bring one of the Ravens top 2026 draft needs into focus
PFF paints a crystal clear picture of one of the Baltimore Ravens' top draft needs. The offseason has progressed relatively swiftly, don't you agree? It wasn't that long ago that we discussed the prospects that the Baltimore Ravens might be interested in during the Senior Bowl and the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Then came Top 30 Visits and Pro Days. The NFL Draft followed. 11 new faces were added. This came after wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, linebacker Jake Hummel, quarterback Cooper Rush, and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie were acquired during free agency. More signings followed, including Joseph Notebloom on May 3 and Jaire Alexander just after the midpoint of June. We have also gotten to know 21 undrafted rookie free-agent additions. Rookie minicamp, OTAs, and a two-day mandatory minicamp are behind us. So, what do we discuss while we wait for training camp and the preseason? How about some way-too-early 2026 NFL Draft analysis? It appears that Pro Football Focus may have had the same idea. Pro Football Focus pulls the curtain back on one of the Ravens' top draft needs. It seemed like it was just yesterday that Malaki Starks was introduced as one of the newest Ravens after Baltimore made him the 27th pick in the first round of the most recent selection meeting. He is coming along nicely. He and Kyle Hamilton will team to form one of the NFL's best one-two punches at the safety position. Baltimore's roster is stacked, but there is always room for more talent. Pro Football Focus recently offered an interesting 2026 NFL Draft take, one area every NFL team needs to think about. Trevor Sikkema is the writer of this one. Here's what he had to say on the subject. "Henry earned the highest PFF rushing grade of his career (93.1) during his age-31 season. He signed a contract extension that added two more years to his deal, but we know how it goes with running backs — when they decline, they often do so quickly. The question is: Is Henry's successor on the roster?" Henry's generous grade from PFF follows his second-highest single-season rushing total. He was just 79 yards shy of a second 2,000-yard rushing season. Sikkema continued: "Justice Hill has been more of a third-down back and is approaching 30 years old himself. Keaton Mitchell looked great in 2023, leading the league in yards after contact per attempt (5.68), but tore his ACL late in the year. Rasheen Ali has yet to get significant time in the rotation." While Henry is expected to hang around for a while, adding more talent to the offensive backfield isn't a bad idea. Jeremiyah Love, Quintrevion Wisner, Makhi Hughes, and Le'Veon Moss will be among the highly-touted tailback prospects when the calendar rolls around to next April.
