Cowboys Rumor Includes Mexico Visit in Schedule Future
The Dallas Cowboys have their full 2025 schedule and the excitement is abundant per usual when the team has a 0-0 record. Games are still months away but the extremely early forecasts and predictions have fans buzzing about the new-look Cowboys already.
Dallas touts six primetime games and a total of eight standalone games, including their blockbuster Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs and their Christmas Day bout with the Washington Commanders.

Unsurprisingly, the league capitalized on its biggest draw to feature some marquee matchups and perhaps lifted up the quality of otherwise mediocre contests on paper. But there was one aspect of the schedule the Cowboys were notably left out of.
The NFL has launched its most grand International Series campaign to date with games spread across Brazil, Ireland, Germany and the United Kingdom. Some speculation had the Cowboys facing the New York Jets in London, but that clearly never came to fruition.
However, a prime opportunity could be around the corner when the time comes for the 2026 schedule. The NFL has notably not had Mexico in its rotation for the last couple years. That could be set to change.
During an ESPN Mexico broadcast last season, insider Jeff Sutcliffe reported that there is some buzz around the the league heading back to Mexico.

"I've heard the Houston Texans want to go to (Estadio) Azteca as the home team (in 2025), the Cowboys would go in 2026."
Now the first half of that rumor did not work out, but the stars could align for a return to Mexico City for 2026.
Estadio Azteca has undergone significant renovations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to kickoff next summer and Mexico serving as a host nation.
With those complete, what better way to make a return than bringing the most popular sports franchise in the world who happens to be right next door?

It makes for a slam dunk addition to the league's International Series and the Cowboys should draw an incredible crowd. We think Jerry Jones and his crew would be more than interested in making it happen.

For now, Cowboys fans will have to settle with the schedule for 2025 and prepare for a major campaign with their reloaded squad.

Chip Kelly: Not many humans have size and speed like Raiders rookie WR Dont'e Thornton
At the NFL Scouting Combine, former Tennessee wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. opened a lot of eyes by measuring 6-foot-5 and running his 40-yard dash in 4.30 seconds. He was the tallest player ever to run that fast at the Combine. That led the Raiders to draft Thornton in the fourth round despite minimal production in college: He caught just 65 passes in four seasons of college football, two at Tennessee and two at Oregon. Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly says that a unique talent like Thornton can develop into a productive receiver, even if he hasn't done it yet. Advertisement "I think Dont'e is unique in terms of he's just a hair under 6-5 and he ran 4.3. There's not a lot of humans on this planet that do that," Kelly said, via "And I think if you had a draw up an outside receiver, you would pick that type of body type, someone that's got length, someone that's got a huge catch radius, but also has speed. Sometimes you can get a big guy like that, but he can't really run, so they can stay with him. So, you add that speed element to him, his ability to sink his hips, his ability to get in and out of cuts." The Raiders have a long history of valuing physical attributes like size and speed, and General Manager John Spytek said Raiders owner Mark Davis knows his father, Al Davis, would have loved Thornton. "Mark joked that was the Al Davis pick of this draft," Spytek said. "The height, weight, speed, raw traits, athleticism, speed, and I think it's just focusing on what he can do and what he can be. . . . You watch his target tape, I think it's pretty impressive. And we think he hasn't hit his ceiling yet." The Raiders think they added a uniquely talented receiver when they brought Thornton to Las Vegas.

Huge 2026 NFL mock draft update rebuilds Steelers offense
We are a month away from the start of NFL training camps and just after that, the college football season will kick off. So we thought now was the perfect time to update our five-round mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft. As things stand right now, we have five quarterbacks with a first-round grade and depending how the college season plays out, there should be a potential franchise quarterback on the board when the Steelers pick in the first round. This time around we utilized the mock draft simulator from Mock Draft Database that utilizes projected compensatory picks and very up to date prospect rankings. First round - QB Fernando Mendoza - Indiana The Steelers pick No. 15 overall in this mock and a run on quarterbacks leave them with Indiana's Fernando Mendoza. He's not a household name yet but by the time the draft gets here, he should be one of the first four quarterbacks off the board. Second round - CB Jalon Kilgore - South Carolina Kilgore has prototypical NFL size and athleticism and showed a ton of growth last season in his coverage technique. Third round - TE Max Klare - Purdue We are rooting for Darnell Washington but if tight end becomes a bigger part of the offense, a pick like Klare as a receiving weapon makes a lot of sense. Third round - WR Nic Anderson - LSU Anderson is healthy and getting a fresh start at LSU. He is good at everything and has no real glaring weaknesses to his game. Third round - RB Jonah Coleman - Washington If Jaylen Warren leaves after the season, the Steelers will need to add a back to go with Kaleb Johnson. Coleman is a powerful, squatty back with impressive balance truly elite vision with sneaky athleticism. Fourth round - OT Drew Shelton - Penn State Massive powerfuly run blocker who just overwhelms defenders with his size and power. Fourth round - S Keon Sabb - Alabama Exceptional developmental safety who might end up going much sooner than this if he can develop more in coverage Fifth round - IOL - Febechi Nwaiwu - Oklahoma Nwaiwu transfered to Oklahoma last season and after he got up to speed, really looked good as the team's starting right tackle. We expect him to make another big jump in 2025 and he could be Isaac Seumalos' replacement. Fifth round - WR Germie Bernard - Alabama Alabama is Bernard's third FBS team in four seasons. He's not spectacular in any area but he's found a way to develop as a really reliable possession receiver if he can just have some stability in coaching and scheme.
