The 2026 football season is officially underway — and Grant & Tanner are breaking down everything you need to know from the biggest storylines of the opening weekend. From Christian Gonzalez signing a record-breaking contract with the Patriots, to the Rams and 49ers heading to Australia, to Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers making a statement against Clemson, this episode has it all.

CHRISTIAN GONZALEZ SIGNS RECORD CONTRACTThe holdout is over. Christian Gonzalez just became the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. Grant & Tanner break down the numbers, what the deal means for the cornerback market, whether the Patriots paid fair value, and what it says about New England's plans moving forward.

PATRIOTS vs. SEAHAWKS — BEST BETNew England enters the season as a home underdog against Seattle, but Grant & Tanner both like the Patriots getting the points. They break down the matchup, New England's defensive identity, the home-field advantage, and why they believe the +3.5 line is too high.

RAMS vs. 49ERS — WHO COVERS?The NFL season opens in Australia with an NFC showdown between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Rams look like one of the most complete teams in the conference, while the 49ers are already dealing with a brutal injury situation.

The Athletic published its long-awaited standards review of Dianna Russini's coverage, closing out a five-month internal investigation into her relationship with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Editorial director Mike Semel went through 903 stories, 77 videos, and 204 podcast episodes — and never interviewed Russini. We break down what the report found (a clear standards violation over non-disclosure), what it cleared her of (no inaccuracies, no clear evidence she used her platform to help Vrabel), and what it was structurally never going to answer. Plus the uncomfortable question underneath all of it: the insider economy runs entirely on proximity to sources, so where is the line actually supposed to be?

Three quarterbacks, three completely different kinds of pressure. Baker Mayfield is playing out an expiring $100M deal after negotiations broke down, without Mike Evans or Lavonte David. Kyler Murray was released by the team that drafted him first overall, signed a $1.3M minimum deal in Minnesota, and won the starting job over a first-round pick in two weeks. C.J. Stroud got a fifth-year option instead of an extension after a four-interception playoff meltdown, with the gap between his rookie form and his current form worth north of $100M in guarantees. We rank them.

Week 1 picks. No. 9 Ole Miss vs. No. 24 Louisville Sunday night in Nashville, and No. 19 SMU at Florida State on Monday. Sides, totals, the reasoning on both, and the honest case against each pick. Send us Fan MailFOLLOW US ON:

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Josh Jacobs placed on the commissioner's exempt list for assault allegations while the Packers trade for Kaleb Johnson and might still miss the playoffs, ESPN's NFL power rankings putting the Ravens too low at 8 and the Packers too high at 7 in a league where half the teams could win the Super Bowl, and full CFB Week 1 betting picks including UCLA-Cal, LSU-Clemson, and Colorado-Georgia Tech.

JACOBS ON THE EXEMPT LIST — AND THE PACKERS ARE IN TROUBLEJosh Jacobs is sidelined indefinitely following assault allegations and Green Bay's trade for Kaleb Johnson doesn't fix what's actually wrong with this roster. Grant & Tanner break down the legal situation, the Johnson trade, and make the honest case for why Jordan Love and the Packers could be on the outside looking in come January — despite sitting at seventh in ESPN's power rankings.

ESPN'S NFL POWER RANKINGS GET IT WRONGRavens too low at 8. Packers too high at 7. Cowboys at 15 and Bengals at 16 in what might be the most wide-open Super Bowl race in recent memory. Grant & Tanner fix the list, make the case for every team they think is misranked, and explain why the 2026 NFL season could be the most unpredictable in recent memory.

CFB WEEK 1 BETTING PICKSThe first full week of college football is here. UCLA vs. Cal. LSU vs. Clemson — the biggest game on the board. Colorado vs. Georgia Tech. Grant & Tanner go through the full Week 1 slate, give their picks and reasoning, and tell you which game they're most confident in heading into opening weekend.

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Dillon Gabriel lighting up the preseason finale and whether he should start over Deshaun Watson immediately, the New England Patriots looking genuinely dangerous despite a Christian Gonzalez holdout, and making the full case for why the Dallas Cowboys are the most underrated team in the NFC East and a legitimate sleeper contender in the conference.

DILLON GABRIEL SHINES — WHEN DOES WATSON GET REPLACED?Gabriel had a standout preseason finale and Grant & Tanner aren't waiting to ask the question. Should he start over Watson right now? When does Shedeur Sanders eventually take over? And what does the Browns' quarterback timeline actually look like heading into a season where Cleveland has real decisions to make at the most important position in football.

THE PATRIOTS LOOK REALLY GOOD — BUT GONZALEZ IS HOLDING OUTNew England dominated Jalen Hurts in joint practice and has looked better than expected all preseason. Grant & Tanner break down why the Patriots are more dangerous than most people realize, what a Christian Gonzalez holdout does to their Super Bowl chances, and whether New England is a legitimate AFC contender or a very good team that falls short in January.

THE COWBOYS ARE THE NFC EAST SLEEPERGrant & Tanner make the full case for Dallas — the divisional matchup advantages against the Commanders, Eagles, and Giants, the offensive firepower, the defensive pieces, and why this Cowboys roster is built to shock the NFC in 2026. The division race is not as settled as people think.

BOTTOM LINE: Three teams with massive upside heading into the regular season — a Browns quarterback situation that just got more complicated, a Patriots team that nobody is fully respecting, and a Cowboys roster that Grant & Tanner think is the most dangerous team in the NFC East. Send us Fan MailFOLLOW US ON:

Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Dan Lanning and Marcus Freeman speaking out against the NCAA's 5-for-5 rule while Lane Kiffin embraces it at LSU plus the FBI allegedly sweeping Ole Miss for bugs, Deshaun Watson being named Cleveland's Week 1 starter the same week he made inflammatory comments about the fan base, and full CFB Week 0 betting picks including UNC +7.5 in Ireland, NC State +5.5, and Memphis +5.5.

COACHES DIVIDED ON THE 5-FOR-5 RULE — AND THE FBI SWEPT OLE MISS?Lanning and Freeman are pushing back hard on NFL and NBA players returning to college football. Kiffin at LSU loves it — of course he does. Grant & Tanner break down both sides of the debate and then get to the wildest subplot of the offseason: Ole Miss' NIL director claiming the FBI swept the office for bugs after Kiffin left. College football never stops delivering.

WATSON NAMED BROWNS STARTER — THE SAME WEEK HE INSULTED THE FANSDeshaun Watson gets the Week 1 nod over Shedeur Sanders — and in the same breath makes inflammatory comments about the Cleveland fan base. Grant & Tanner break down why this is a disaster waiting to happen, what Watson realistically looks like in 2026, and why every week he starts is a week of development Shedeur Sanders isn't getting. The future in Cleveland is obvious. The Browns just aren't there yet.

CFB WEEK 0 BETTING PICKSCollege football is back and Grant & Tanner are going on record. UNC +7.5 against TCU in the Ireland game. NC State and CJ Bailey +5.5 against UVA. Memphis +5.5 against UNLV.
