This week on LeatherBrainz, the NFL offseason got political, chaotic, and downright bizarre. From Trump’s wild 2027 NFL Draft plans to the shocking release of Justin Tucker, and lingering post-draft questions for every team — we’ve got everything you need, and probably a little more than you asked for.

🔊 This Week on the Pod:

📍2027 NFL Draft Will Be on the National Mall “It’s going to be beautiful. It’s going to be something that nobody else will ever be able to duplicate.” - Donald Trump

😳 Justin Tucker Released by the Ravens After John Harbaugh’s cryptic comment about “every decision being based on football,” the best kicker in NFL history is out.

• What’s next for Tucker?
  

🤔 Amari Cooper Still a Free Agent Could a Cowboys reunion actually happen? We weigh in on his landing spots and whether he still has juice left.

🧠 Kyle Pitts, Kyren Williams, and... Old Man Stafford?

• Falcons OC says Pitts is ready for a big leap in year two of the system
  

• Kyren says he hasn’t hit his peak yet
  

• Sean McVay wants Stafford to stick around until he’s 40... should he?
  

🟤 Diontae Johnson to the Browns

• Quiet move with big upside?
  

• Browns are sneakily building a very weird, maybe good team.
  

🚨 John Elway Allegedly Killed a Guy… On a Golf Cart? No, seriously. We don’t even know what to say about this.

📊 CBS Drops “Biggest Questions After the Draft” We break down the real questions every fanbase should be asking:

🏈 Kyler’s Leap? 🦬 Do the Bills have enough outside Josh Allen? 🐆 Are Travis Hunter + Liam Cohen enough to fix the Jags? ☠️ Raiders go all-in with Geno + Bowers + Jeanty. Is it crazy or genius? 💔 Jets — can Aaron Glenn save this team from itself? 🚀 Colts — what IS this ceiling with Richardson and Daniel Jones? 🤯 JJ McCarthy, Bryce Young, Bo Nix — which rookie QB are YOU betting on?

This week, the NFL Draft delivered CHAOS — and the Brainz are here for all of it. From Shedeur Sanders’ shocking fall to the Cleveland Browns QB circus, and the wild rise of Travis Hunter, we’re breaking down the biggest moments, hottest takes, and dumbest drama of draft weekend.

🔊 This Week on LeatherBrainz:

🏈 Shedeur Sanders Falls to Round 5 The biggest story of the weekend: Shedeur finally lands with the Browns in the 5th round.

• Why did he slide so far?
  

• Mel Kiper’s on-air meltdown 🫠
  

• And Stephen Jackson’s horrific take on the situation. (Spoiler: we don’t hold back.)
  

🤯 The Browns QB Room Is... Something: Deshaun Watson Joe Flacco Kenny Pickett Dillon Gabriel Shedeur Sanders What in the actual hell is happening in Cleveland?

🚀 Dillon Gabriel’s Insane Arm Strength

• Broke the Senior Bowl throw velocity record at 74.9 mph.
  

• (For comparison: Josh Allen = 62 mph.)
  

🐆 Travis Hunter to the Jaguars

• Jags trade up big for Hunter.
  

• Plans to play both sides of the ball.
  

• Can he finally give Jacksonville an identity?
  

🖤 Raiders Land Ashton Jeanty

• Raiders shockingly competent post-draft?
  

• Playoff potential?? 👀
  

• Should they have grabbed Shedeur during the slide?
  

🧢 Packers Draft WR Matthew Golden

• Immediately ruins it by choosing #22. Yikes. Also, we roast Zach Wilson for picking #0 with the Dolphins. (Seriously, dude?)
  

🛡️ Will Campbell is Ready to Die for Drake Maye

• Patriots O-lineman comes out swinging.
  

• How many other QBs inspire that level of loyalty? (Spoiler: NOT Rodgers.)
  

🔥 LEATHERBURNZ Segment:

🦍 Scotty vs 100 Guys Fighting a Gorilla

• Gorilla stats that will ruin your day.
  

• TL;DR: The gorilla wins 10/10 times. Sorry internet.

It’s officially NFL Draft Week, baby — and the Brainz are here with a full breakdown of what’s happening around the league just days before chaos unfolds. From GM gossip to Aaron Rodgers drama to Puka Nacua dropping bold takes, this episode is loaded with football takes, wild stories, and of course... our Easter Candy Draft 🍫🐣

🔊 This Week on LeatherBrainz:

🏈 NFL Draft Incoming!
It’s that time again, folks. GMs are lying, smokescreens are flying, and we’re breaking it all down — including some spicy draft quotes and potential shock picks.

🤕 Colts QB Controversy:
GM Chris Ballard expects both Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones to play this season. QB battle incoming?

☠️ Raiders GM John Spytek (yes, that’s his real name and it rips) is eyeing RB Ashton Jeanty, who dropped a banger of a quote:

“It’s tackle football. My advice is to draft the guy they can’t tackle.”
Draft Jeanty based on vibes alone.

🚨 Aaron Rodgers vs Jets Front Office
Rodgers says he's "attached to nothing" and told the Jets GM, “That’s why I flew halfway across the country to talk face-to-face” after being ghosted for months.
Drama level: Soap opera in shoulder pads 🫣

🧃 Puka Nacua: Spicy Take Alert
"If Brock Purdy gets paid $50M+, the 49ers window is CLOSED."
Do we agree? Or is that just division rivalry talk?

🧠 Travis Hunter says he’d “rather quit football than only play one position.”
That’s... dramatic. Is he going to be a problem for whatever team drafts him?

⚙️ Maxx Crosby Becomes a College Assistant GM!?
The Eastern Michigan GOAT just added a new title to the résumé. Respect.

📦 Steelers Open to Trading George Pickens
They’re not shopping him, but… if the price is right, he's gone. 👀

📉 George Kittle Skipping Offseason?
Kittle and the 49ers are “far apart” in contract talks. Could he sit out?

⚖️ Shannon Sharpe Lawsuit
Sharpe is being sued for $50 million in a serious and developing case. We touch on the facts we know so far.

🍭 Easter Candy Draft!
We're drafting Easter candies — from chocolate bunnies to marshmallow disasters. Who builds the GOAT candy team? Vote in the comments!

This week on LeatherBrainz, the NFL (and college football) drama is HOTTER than ever. We’re talking Tyreek Hill’s disturbing 911 call, Joe Flacco’s million-dollar return to Cleveland, and Kenny Pickett's alpha energy in Philly. Plus, Greg Olsen gets snubbed for an Emmy (Tom Brady propaganda strikes again), and we break down the most overpaid quarterbacks in the league 👀

🔊 Episode Highlights:

🏈 Joe Flacco is BACK – The Browns bring Grandpa Flacco back on a 1-year deal worth up to $13M. He had options (Steelers, Vikings), but chose to run it back in Cleveland.

🧢 Kenny Pickett on the Eagles: “I’m here to start, not to hang out.” Okay Kenny, we see you. 🔥

🚫 Deshaun Watson done? – We ask the real question: Has Deshaun already played his final NFL snap?

🩼 Derek Carr Injury Alert – The Saints’ QB1 could miss the season with a shoulder injury. Surgery is on the table. QB crisis brewing in NOLA?

🚨 Tyreek Hill Domestic Dispute – A 911 call from his wife saying “I’m so scared” sends shockwaves. Should the Dolphins move on? If so, where does Hill land?

💸 College Football Chaos: Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava held out of practices & meetings for more NIL money before getting released. Oregon’s Dan Lanning tipped off Tennessee's coach. – Is college football turning into the NFL 2.0 with contracts & consequences? – Could this actually help young players understand the league's business side?

📺 Greg Olsen Snubbed! Greg got nominated for an Emmy — and Tom Brady didn't. Greg > Brady in the booth. We said what we said. 😤 But is Brady's ownership status too much of a conflict of interest for a broadcaster?

🔥 Hot Topic: Top 10 QB Contracts – Who's overpaid? Who’s next? Let’s break it down:

• Dak Prescott – $60M
  

• Josh Allen – $55M
  

• Joe Burrow – $55M
  

• Trevor Lawrence – $55M
  

• Jordan Love – $55M
  

• Tua Tagovailoa – $53M
  

• Jared Goff – $53M
  

• Justin Herbert – $52M
  

• Lamar Jackson – $52M

In this week’s episode of LeatherBrainz, we dive into the latest NFL chaos — from Julio Jones calling it a career to the Raiders dropping $85 million on Geno Smith (while still probably drafting a QB? 👀). Oh, and yes... we confirmed we are NOT smarter than Jeopardy kids. That happened.

🔊 This Week’s NFL Headlines:

🏃‍♂️ Jets RB Update – Breece Hall is “in a good place,” but the Jets are eyeing a three-headed monster at RB. Why?

❌ Titans Cancel Shedeur Sanders Workout – Big-time interest or red flag? We debate.

🫡 Julio Jones Retires – One of the best to ever do it. Between 2014–2019, this man averaged 1600+ yards. 🐐

⚡ Trey Lance Signs with Chargers – Is he just a career backup now?

💰 Trey McBride Gets PAID – Highest-paid tight end in NFL history!

🦅 Raiders Extend Geno Smith – 2 years, $85M... but Mark Davis is just hyped that they’re “undefeated” right now 😂

🔁 Joe Milton Traded – Patriots ship him to the Cowboys for a day-three pick. What does this mean for both squads?

💸 Bengals Drama – Trey Hendrickson is not thrilled with his contract talks, and Katie Blackburn is not exactly playing nice.

🧢 Jerry Jones on Micah Parsons – “I’d rather pay more and get it right” …Jerry, what are we doing here?

🚫 RIP Chain Gang – Sony’s Hawk-Eye tech will now handle ball placement. Chain guys everywhere weep.

📍 Touchbacks Move to the 35 – NFL keeps tweaking kickoffs. Will this finally make them exciting?

🏃‍♂️ Kirk Cousins Skipping OTAs – Word on the street: he’s planning to waive his no-trade clause to find a starting job.

🎮 NEW SEGMENT: Jeopardy – Kids Edition Spoiler alert: We’re NOT smarter than a 5th grader, and apparently not smarter than 12-year-olds on game shows either.

💬 Tell us your takes in the comments! Should the Raiders still draft a QB? Is Shedeur Sanders a franchise guy? And what the hell is Jerry Jones doing?
