Baltimore's three-game winning streak ended with a 13-10 loss that tied Cleveland with the Ravens at 4-2, and now all eyes turn to Lamar Jackson returning after missing two games to lead the charge.
Browns 13, Ravens 10.
The Ravens scored on their first two possessions and never scored again. Derrick Henry's lost fumble produced Cleveland's tying touchdown, and Tyler Loop missed a 49-yard field goal.
Andre Szmyt's late field goal completed Cleveland's comeback after Baltimore failed to capitalize on an earlier missed Browns kick.
Keyon Martin recorded a sack and a pass breakup. Josh Cuevas caught four passes for 44 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Ja'Kobi Lane added four receptions for 40 yards in his return.

Police searched Trippie Redd's all-black South Florida mansion on Tuesday, Oct. 6, while executing a search warrant.
NBC6 reported several police vehicles outside the home in Southwest Ranches, a town in western Broward County.
Officials have not disclosed what prompted the search or what investigators were looking for. It also remains unclear whether Trippie Redd, whose legal name is Michael Lamar White, is a target of the investigation.
TMZ reported that the rapper's representatives had not responded to its request for comment.
Reporting from outside the home for NBC6, Lena Salzbank said law-enforcement personnel had been coming and going for hours. She identified SWAT officers and crime-scene investigators among those entering and leaving the property.

First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, NASDAQ:PHOS, FRA:KD0, OTCQX:FRSPF) earlier this week highlighted Swiss government support for financing linked to its Bégin-Lamarche mine, as CEO John Passalacqua outlined the company's efforts to ***** emble a capital stack designed to limit shareholder dilution.
Proactive: Really big news out from the company today. It really jumps off the page: a guarantee of $212.5 million for CapEx for First Phosphate, coming from the Swiss government. Tell me a little bit about this, John.
John Passalacqua: Yeah, so this is the Swiss government that's guaranteeing up to 85% of exports from Switzerland that are aimed towards the mine at Bégin-Lamarche. So you've got a very nice debt-to-equity ratio there. 85% is almost unheard of in the industry. And it's obviously based on the credibility of the mine, based on the fact that we've been endorsed by the G7, based on the fact that we have other export credit agencies at the table.
EIFO from Denmark was there already, if you remember, for €170 million. So little by little, we're putting together the whole capital stack here for the project, which can be done quite non-dilutively.
And that's a key to this because they're looking at about 85% of the cost, and potentially more if that happens. But it does get to the point where your shareholders are very well protected here.

Ravens news: Jesse Minter promises Rashod Bateman breakout is coming appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Baltimore Ravens walked out of Week 1 with a dominant 41-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Derrick Henry continued his Hall of Fame case, Lamar Jackson looked like his former MVP self, and Zay Flowers played like a top-level wide receiver in the NFL. But what about Rashod Bateman? Well, it appears head coach Jesse Minter plans to get him more involved as the season rolls along.
While talking with media members on Monday, the 43-year-old head coach claimed he liked everything he saw from Bateman in Week 1, despite the former first-round pick not hauling in a single reception, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Minter ended his statement suggesting that the Ravens will find a way to get Bateman more targets moving forward.
"I give Bate a lot of credit," Minter said. "He played the game the right way. He ran good routes. I'm excited about how he played. I think there's big days ahead for Bate."

The NFL Week 1 schedule concludes Monday night when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos in an AFC West matchup at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
For Kansas City, the biggest question heading into the season opener has centered on its quarterback. Patrick Mahomes has spent the offseason working his way back from a major knee injury that ended his 2025 season.
The 30-year-old quarterback has not played since suffering a torn ACL and LCL in December 2025. The injury sparked concern across Chiefs kingdom and Kansas City also missed the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era.

Plenty of superstar quarterbacks garner massive contracts as some of the best players in the NFL. Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson may be on pace to make history with his next contract later down the line.
Jackson is starting the ninth year of his career with the Ravens. He dominates on the field as one of the best players in the league, often having Baltimore in serious playoff contention.
Jackson is secure under his current contract, ending after the 2027 season concludes. NFL insider Jeremy Fowler discussed Jackson's contract situation, bringing up the idea that a $70 million contract will be on the table for the superstar quarterback.

Quarterback Jayden Maiava and the USC Trojans host the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, Sept. 12.
The Trojans will have a chance to improve to 3-0 while Louisiana is looking to secure back-to-back wins to start the season.
It will be the final nonconference game for the Trojans before starting their Big Ten Conference schedule, with a game on the road against Rutgers next week.
Maiava is back for his fourth season of college football, his third with the Trojans. He's already completed 48-of-54 pass attempts for 635 yards and five touchdowns. He's only been sacked once this season and has yet to throw an interception.
Lunch Winfield saw the most time at quarterback for Louisiana in the blowout win over the Lamar Cardinals last week. Winfield completed 16 of 22 passes for 189 yards and two interceptions. He also contributed to the rushing attack with 84 yards and a touchdown. Darrell Smith also rushed for 84 yards and produced two touchdowns.

Lamar Jackson and Ravens 'beef' gets addressed by NFL insider originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens haven't worked out a contract extension yet, and whenever a player this big goes this long without a deal, there are rumblings of what's really going on behind the scenes.
The Ravens go up against the Indianapolis Colts in their season opener in Week 1, and ahead of the matchup, The Athletic's Jonathan Jones is sharing his notes about what's really going on inside the Baltimore camp with this superstar quarterback.
A league source in his story also addressed a possible "beef" going on, because that's obviously been on the mind of those keeping close tabs on this situation.
So, is there a beef? Not at all, according to a source in the NFL.

LSU football faces Louisiana Tech on Saturday night in what should be a tune-up game for the Tigers, though not much tuning is needed after LSU beat Clemson 51-10 in Week 1.
LSU is a heavy favorite vs. the Bulldogs. Last week, LSU's second team got plenty of reps in a lopsided victory, and the depth chart could be emptied again today. If LSU starts fast and builds a healthy lead in the first half, a handful of true freshmen will get significant time in the second half.
The SEC schedule is a grind. And in the era of the 12-team playoff and extended seasons, developing depth can be the difference between missing the College Football Playoff or going on a run. LSU has the raw talent to make noise in Lane Kiffin's first year, but LSU will need some young guys to step up.
Here are four true freshmen to watch when LSU football takes on Louisiana Tech.
Lamar Brown was the headline piece of Lane Kiffin's first high school signing class. ESPN ranked Brown as the No. 1 overall recruit in the country and he was heralded as a player ready to make an immediate impact, despite not enrolling early.

The Indianapolis Colts open the regular season at home against the Baltimore Ravens.
To help us preview this matchup, Glenn Erby, the managing editor of Ravens Wire, answered a handful of our questions to provide some insights into this Baltimore team.
Ravens Wire: Minter has been organized, direct, and consistent since taking over. He brings energy without manufacturing it, and players have responded to his detailed but collaborative approach. He has also allowed his coordinators to establish their identities while remaining heavily involved with the defense. The biggest takeaway is that he appears comfortable leading the entire operation rather than simply functioning as a defensive-minded head coach. The regular season will present different challenges, but the transition from John Harbaugh has been smoother than many expected.
Ravens Wire: Baltimore's defensive front should be its biggest strength. The Ravens added Trey Hendrickson to a group that could regain Nnamdi Madubuike while also featuring Calais Campbell, Travis Jones, and second-round pick Zion Young. Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton give the defense elite talent behind that front. If Madubuike remains healthy, Baltimore should be able to stop the run without sacrificing its ability to pressure quarterbacks.
Ravens Wire: The interior offensive line is the primary concern. Baltimore will start Jovaughn Gwyn at center and rookie first-round pick Vega Ioane at right guard. Gwyn has never started an NFL game, while Ioane will make his regular-season debut against DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart. The Ravens are also installing Declan Doyle's offense, so communication and protection errors could occur early. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry can cover plenty of weaknesses, but Indianapolis has the personnel to test that inexperienced interior.

#Ravens

NFL pundit Skip Bayless believes the Baltimore Ravens' biggest concern may not be Lamar Jackson's talent, but whether the quarterback will fully buy into a dramatically younger coaching staff.
Baltimore opens 2026 with Jesse Minter in his first season as an NFL head coach and Declan Doyle taking over the offense. Doyle is the league's youngest offensive coordinator and will call plays for the first time after serving as Chicago's coordinator under Ben Johnson last season.
During a segment on the "Gridiron" podcast with Aqib Talib on Friday, Bayless said Jackson needs a significant season for the sake of his résumé, but the ****** yst quickly turned his concern toward the coaching staff around the Ravens quarterback.
"If Jesse Minter were the new defensive coordinator in Baltimore, I'd be with you," Bayless said. "But he's the new head coach. So you have a baby head coach trying to figure out how to run the whole show as well as the defense."
Bayless's stronger warning, however, involved Doyle.

#bayless #season

During the first 30 years of the Baltimore Ravens' story, they and the Indianapolis Colts have met 18 times. That includes three postseason matchups, but Sunday's opener carries a different feel. The Ravens are entering a new era under head coach Jesse Minter, while the Colts hope to prove they can contend in the AFC after last season's disappointing finish.
Most of the attention this week has focused on Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Baltimore's revamped coaching staff, and what to expect on offense and defense. All of that will certainly influence the outcome, but several less-discussed storylines could play an equally important role. Here are five worth monitoring in Week 1.
Fair or unfair, Rashod Bateman enters the season under a microscope. The veteran receiver is attempting to move forward after a difficult 2025 campaign and an offseason that generated headlines for reasons unrelated to football.
A strong opener would immediately help shift the conversation back toward his on-field value. A quiet performance, however, could reignite many of the same questions that followed him throughout the offseason. One game should not define a season, but Week 1 often shapes perception. Bateman doesn't need a 100-yard performance to make an impact. He needs to remind everyone why the Ravens still believe in him.
Ja'Kobi Lane spent much of the summer generating excitement, while Vega Ioane appears poised to play a meaningful role immediately. They are not the only rookies worth watching. Pass rusher Zion Young could find himself in situations where a single splash play changes the trajectory of his debut.

#worth

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for an Indianapolis Colts roster that underwent meaningful changes on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis retained Daniel Jones as its starting quarterback and added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to a passing game featuring Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren. Allen gives Jones an experienced route runner who can create separation on third down and in the red zone. The Colts also reshaped portions of their offensive line. Tanor Bortolini is listed as the starting center, with Matt Goncalves at right guard and Jalen Travis at right tackle. Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann provide continuity on the left side, but Baltimore can test the newer combinations with its rebuilt defensive front.
Indianapolis made its most significant defensive investment in the secondary. Sauce Gardner joins Charvarius Ward at cornerback, giving the Colts two accomplished players capable of challenging Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore's other receivers. Cam Bynum and rookie A.J. Haulcy are listed as the starting safeties.
Arden Key was added to a defensive line that already included DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Laiatu Latu. That group should present an immediate test for a Ravens offensive line breaking in new starters at center and right guard.
The Colts' roster is deeper and more experienced in several critical areas. Baltimore still has advantages with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but Indianapolis possesses enough talent to make Jesse Minter's debut uncomfortable if the Ravens fail to establish control early.

The Baltimore Ravens have undergone significant changes entering the 2026 season, but elite talent, depth, and versatility remain central to their pursuit of a championship. Baltimore's veteran core will help Jesse Minter navigate his first season as a head coach. Some of those players, however, are also approaching crossroads because of age, injuries, salary considerations, or increased competition.
With the regular season approaching, here are five Ravens veterans entering pivotal seasons, along with one bonus candidate.
Bateman has repeatedly shown flashes of becoming a dependable playmaker, but injuries and inconsistent opportunities have prevented him from establishing himself as one of the NFL's most productive receivers.
The talent has never been the primary question. Bateman can create separation, stretch the field, and provide Lamar Jackson with a reliable target outside the numbers. What Baltimore needs now is consistent availability and production all season. Zay Flowers is firmly established as Jackson's leading receiver, while rookie Ja'Kobi Lane brings size and considerable upside to the position. Bateman must carve out a defined role within Declan Doyle's offense and capitalize on his opportunities. A productive season would strengthen Bateman's place within Baltimore's long-term plans. Another uneven campaign could force the Ravens to reevaluate the position.
Stanley remains one of the NFL's best left tackles when healthy, but age makes every season more significant.

#Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens reconstructed their coaching staff and strengthened several areas of the roster after falling short of the postseason. Those changes created renewed optimism, but they also increased the pressure on several returning players.
Baltimore's established stars will drive the team's championship pursuit. The Ravens' ability to close the gap in the AFC, however, could be determined by younger contributors becoming more consistent in expanded roles.
Here are five Ravens who must improve in 2026.
Simpson possesses the athletic tools to become a productive three-down linebacker, but Baltimore needs greater consistency from him alongside Roquan Smith. He must diagnose plays faster, take cleaner pursuit angles, and become more dependable in coverage. Teddye Buchanan and Jay Higgins IV give the Ravens additional options, placing even more importance on Simpson converting his physical ability into reliable production.
Rosengarten has gained valuable experience at right tackle, but the Ravens need him to take another step as a pass protector. His ability to handle speed rushers without consistent ****** istance would give Declan Doyle greater freedom with formations and route combinations. Baltimore cannot allow pressure from the right side to disrupt Lamar Jackson or force the offense away from deeper-developing concepts.

Josh Allen recently turned 30, which has led to conversations about whether his Super Bowl window with the Buffalo Bills is still open. While there may be a sense of urgency, Allen is undeniably at the prime of his career and showing no signs of slowing down.
According to one NFL **** yst, Allen also enjoys a level of fan support that may surpass even that of Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson, which only speaks of the devotion Bills fans have for their franchise quarterback.
Josh Allen has been the face of the Buffalo Bills since 2018, and by 2026 he's firmly established himself as one of the most recognizable and beloved quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Allen and the Bills have been one of the league's most consistent teams as together they never had more than six losses in a regular season, except for that first campaign. Through 128 regular-season games he's thrown for 30,102 yards and 220 touchdowns, while earning NFL MVP honors in 2024.

When the Cleveland Browns hired Todd Monken to be their head coach, they did so with the expectation that he would be able to help elevate an offense that could eventually match a dominant defense. While his work is more than cut out for him in year one, his track record is enough to where it points to him being able to achieve something during his tenure in Cleveland.
ESPN recently highlighted all the NFL playcallers; within the piece, they discuss several key stats and points about them. For Monken, they discussed his ability to craft the best offense in the NFL in recent years in Baltimore.
They write, "Monken was the architect of one of the league's most explosive offenses during his time in Baltimore. Lamar Jackson was named NFL MVP in his first season with Monken in 2023, and the Ravens finished as the league's No. 1 offense for the first time in their history in 2024. The offense in Cleveland will look different with a young and unproven core, along with the perennial quarterback question, but Monken has a reputation for melding his scheme to his players' talents."
His career as a playcaller is discussed heavily, and he has had success at various levels. He has won with the Baltimore Ravens and had success with talent like Lamar Jackson. What may be the most impressive display in his career is his time with the Georgia Bulldogs, where he elevated an offense led by Stetson Bennett and won two national ***** les.
He can win and produce an offense, but can he do it in Cleveland? Time will tell.

These observations — where I look at Real Madrid's history, its players on loan, Castilla, tactical tidbits, and other relevant thoughts — are now a regular thing. All previous editions can be found here.
Here is a new thing I'm committing to this season: Five semi-informal bullet points after each game.
Also, check out last night's post-game podcast where I break down the loss for 34 minutes:
I'm not pushing a panic ******* on. I realize that what I'm about to say will come across as 'low standards', 'acceptance of mediocrity', 'a moral victory', etc — but I will say it anyway and with my chest: If you replay this game 10 more times, Real Madrid wins it 10 times. We just happened to play the freak version where Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty, three big chances, and then Vinicius missed a big chance, Espi had bad luck, and Real Madrid squandered an xG of nearly four. The math checks out: Real Madrid were mostly good but didn't score, somehow. What should've happened was Real Madrid go up one or two goals by half-time, Bellingham and Güler get a deserved ******* ist each, then Real Betis open up in the second half and get cooked. But also, all that to say: Real Madrid didn't deserve to win just because they created more chances, and I just made up a scenario to make myself feel better — possibly because I feel numb to the way the last two seasons have gone. Also: Real Madrid are generally terrible at the Benito Villamarin in the last few years. But, at some point, you have to stop using past precedence as an excuse to lose. How many league ******* les do Real Madrid have in the past 20 years again? Answer: Not enough.
Another Arda Güler masterclass, wasted. He's basically been lights out in every minute he's played in this season. When I have to repeat this after every Arda Güler performance, that's pretty ******* good evidence that he's one of the best players in Europe right now, and certainly, from an ******* ytical standpoint, clearly one of the best creators on the entire continent.

The Cincinnati Bengals could enter New Year's Eve with a lot riding on their final matchup of 2026.
CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo named Cincinnati's Week 17 home game against the Baltimore Ravens among 10 matchups that could define the upcoming NFL season. The AFC North rivals meet Dec. 31 at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
"The league couldn't have picked a better game to show on New Year's Eve," DeArdo wrote. "It's a showdown between division rivals whose games against each other always seem to go down to the wire."
DeArdo pointed to potential playoff ramifications along with the star power of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. He also noted the matchup could tilt the scales of an NFL MVP race if Burrow and Jackson are both in contention late in the year.
Slotting between a Week 16 trip to Indianapolis and a Week 18 home finale against Cleveland, it will be Cincinnati's second meeting with Baltimore after the Bengals travel to M&T Bank Stadium in Week 7.

MIAMI, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Lamar Jackson, James Cook and DK Metcalf are among my five players to avoid in fantasy football drafts.
I chose my players to avoid based on several factors, including strength of schedule, average draft position, injury history and their potential roles in their respective offenses.
My full Top 200 rankings are available here. My quarterback, running back and wide receiver rankings are available here.
Players listed below could still help fantasy football teams, but I would prefer other options at their average draft positions. Selecting one of them too early could shift the balance of your roster, resulting in a weaker structure of point-scorers.

Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter understands the multifaceted dynamics involved in putting together the perfect football team. More impressively, Minter has frequently given accolades to his colleagues in press conferences, a show of his selfless nature and strong belief in interdependence.
As a former defensive coordinator, Minter is well aware that his eyes can't be everywhere on every play. This is why he deployed Anthony Weaver to designate the front seven of his defense in his current role. Minter will call the defensive plays, offensive coordinator DeClan Doyle will call the offensive plays, and quarterback Lamar Jackson will have the power to veto via audible. Minter and his staff seem to have honed in on a recurring design. Nickel and 3-4 personnel groups will appear on defense, while 11-, 12-, and 13-personnel groups will be seen heavily on offense.
Furthermore, the Ravens have a clearly defined infrastructure. This willingness to commit to both an offensive and defensive identity makes Minter's leadership role even easier. In 2026, Minter won't need a bunch of heavy, jargon- and aura-based speeches. Instead, he's focused on the product he puts on the field and not upholding some vain persona.
Ultimately, Minter trusts his staff, and his deferential disposition has allowed the team to foster a new identity. From media clips provided by the team administration to the preseason execution seen on broadcast, it's very clear that the 2026 Ravens will rely heavily on collaboration and cohesiveness to right their wrongs from a season ago.

Most would probably agree with this next sentiment. The Baltimore Ravens can state whatever they want publicly. Everyone knows they didn't simply bring in Jake Moody to take a look at another leg.
Executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta spoke with media members on Wednesday for the first time since Baltimore introduced its initial 53-man roster. As expected, everything was on the table for discussion. He mentioned the inquiries the organization received about Joe ****** nano's services. The conversation shifted to a possible Lamar Jackson extension, which the GM said he'd like to have done by March.
He also addressed another elephant in the room, the added kicker. Except this time, the answer sounded less diplomatic and closer to what most Ravens would probably say had they been given the microphone.
Per Baltimore's GM, the goal was to indeed create competition at kicker as the regular season approaches. While the Ravens have publicly supported Tyler Loop throughout the summer, as they should, DeCosta made it clear the organization felt compelled to explore another option.
"We have got to make kicks. [This] gives us a fresh set of legs to look at, evaluate, compare, [and] see how it all works out. In the end, it is a performance business, right? It starts with me. We have got to do our job."

After all the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth from much of the team's vocal fanbase, the Cowboys are back to the same three quarterbacks they've had all summer long. Joe Milton has made his return to the Dallas practice squad despite reportedly drawing at least some interest from "most" NFL teams. While that means his development can continue, what does it all mean for Sam Howell? According to the 25-year-old, it's simply a matter of getting back to work and learning all he can as Prescott's main understudy.
The front office, meanwhile, is already stirring up drama about next offseason's inevitable George Pickens contract situation, and we're still talking about the Micah Parsons trade: will all the defensive staff changes and personnel moves made since then collectively add up to what the Cowboys lost when they shipped Parsons off? Meanwhile, Emmitt Smith is facing serious allegations of fraud, and CBS is strangely quiet in the wake of Tony Romo's promise to work his way back to the broadcast booth.
Checking in with a few of the Cowboys' upcoming opponents, the Rams will employ a bold travel strategy in their Week 1 trip to Australia, while the 49ers have already boarded the plane to take them to the other side of the world... with a couple of their biggest question marks present and accounted for. The Ravens look to lock up Lamar Jackson, and in his fourth season, Jayden Daniels is getting a crash course in one of the most basic QB functions there is... huddling with his offense.
Elsewhere in league headlines, the Raiders and Chiefs are closing in on opening day with news about their starting quarterbacks, and the NFL continues to scour the globe for their next international gameday destination. (Konnichiwa, ****** an? Maybe.)

The grueling NFL offseason is officially done, and the long-awaited 53-man rosters have been revealed.
Fans can once again be dreaming about the start of the NFL season.
A key part of the offseason headlines are the training camp darlings for everyone's favorite team. For the Baltimore Ravens, a few of their standouts have a strong chance to even make an impact in Week 1.
Ja'Kobi Lane, the 80th pick out of USC, already has fans' expectations through the roof.
Lane was brought in as a depth piece, as the Ravens look to get younger at the position. Since being drafted, he has received nothing but praise. In fact, Lamar Jackson has compared him to an all-time great.

Making 32 bets before the season might feel like a lot, but when you look at how many markets are available to wager on — team futures, win totals, award markets, player props, "Game of the Year" betting, etc., it's really not all that excessive. Of course, if you had just blindly bet one unit on each of all 32 of our plays from last year's article, you'd have been up 7.26 units, and you're probably thrilled to see we're back with this article again.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
We'll start in the AFC, with one bet for each team in the NFL this season.
The best-case scenario for Baltimore is that Jesse Minter and a bolstered defensive front works well enough that the majority of Ravens games are in control in the fourth quarter — and when they are, Derrick Henry can salt them away without Lamar Jackson needing to scramble around.
Optimism is high for Jackson's statistics because he comes into the season healthy, but like last year, he may not stay that way. Whether that means missed time, or similar inefficiency to 2025 when he had just 349 rushing yards on 67 carries in 13 games, we'll bet Jackson — turning 30 this season — doesn't get loose frequently enough to clear this rushing total.

Fantasy Football draft season is in full swing. Those with teams are perusing rosters and stats to see what players are worth selecting. The quarterback position creates a great divide. Many believe it pays to wait because there won't be that big of a difference over the course of a season. Those who have selected Josh Allen in recent years would beg to disagree. What quarterbacks are worth a pick and when? And for leagues that go with a team quarterback, will look at the overall picture.
Jacoby Brissett and his QB room is worthy of a mid-to-late round pick. The Cardinals have a wealth of receivers, starting with Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride. Those two alone will catch a ton of footballs and should find the end zone.
Lord, no. Hard pass.
So, Lamar Jackson is going to be more of a pocket passer? Does that mean the days of his 1,000-yard rushing seasons are finito? If so, he goes from a high pick to a mid-rounder. The question is whether Jackson can keep his mind on throwing the football and not take off.
Josh Allen is a must pick even at age 30. He can deliver points with his arm and legs.

The Baltimore Ravens entered training camp with a quarterback room that appeared largely settled. Lamar Jackson's place atop the depth chart was unquestioned. Tyler Huntley provided an experienced backup option. Beyond that, most attention centered on how the remaining quarterbacks would sort themselves out.
Few would have predicted Joe ******* nano would force his way into the conversation. The undrafted free agent arrived in Baltimore with no guarantees, alongside a more recognizable name in Diego Pavia. He wasn't among the organization's headline rookie additions. As training camp unfolded, opportunities were often difficult to come by, yet by the time the Ravens finalized their initial 53-man roster, ******* nano had accomplished something many longshots never do.
He made himself impossible to ignore.
Head coach Jesse Minter shed light on that journey while discussing Baltimore's roster decisions with the media. In doing so, he offered more insight into one of the Ravens' biggest surprises of the summer.
When asked why the Ravens chose to keep three quarterbacks, Minter's answer was straightforward. What he stated surfaced repeatedly throughout the discussion.

First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, NASDAQ:PHOS, FRA:KD0, OTCQX:FRSPF) earlier this week provided an update on the advancement of its Bégin-Lamarche property, with CEO John Passalacqua highlighting an expanded mineral resource, its NASDAQ uplisting and access to more than $50 million of capital as the company works towards its next development milestones.
Speaking to Proactive, Passalacqua said the updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate showed a significant increase in indicated resources and an increase in the volume of material.
He said the most important feature was the "continuity and consistency throughout the entire resource", adding that the update had given First Phosphate confidence to move into a feasibility study as soon as possible.
The feasibility study represents one of the company's key upcoming potential catalysts. Passalacqua said First Phosphate was targeting its release by the end of 2026 or early 2027, with permitting and an investment decision targeted by the end of 2027.
First Phosphate's recent NASDAQ uplisting could also broaden its access to US investors. Passalacqua said the company's American depositary receipt had been uplisted to the exchange, with its management team and board subsequently taking part in the opening bell ceremony in New York.
