Stramash is back with all the preseason content you didn't know you needed... and this week, our Patreons have done it again. While Cameron makes a suspiciously brief cameo before disappearing for the evening, Gordon, Jamie, and Charles dig deep into the AFC West. The Chiefs, the Chargers, the Broncos all get their moment. But the main event? The Las Vegas Raiders: nine new starters, the Max Crosby saga, a generational running back getting hit behind the line, and a #1 overall pick quarterback learning from Kirk Cousins and Tom Brady. Could the Raiders actually be more interesting than we thought?

Cameron, Charles and Gordon turn their attention to the AFC South. Cameron's back from Canada (don't worry, he's not becoming a Mountie), Gordon's got Airbnb beef, and Charles is freshly tanned from Lisbon. The lads break down all four division teams, from the Texans' fearsome defense and C.J. Stroud's playoff ceiling, to the Colts' Daniel Jones problem, a Titans rebuild held together by hope, and the Jacksonville Jaguars…stable, dangerous, and sitting on two mouth-watering London games. Can Trevor Lawrence take the next step, or will the Jags bottle it again?

Cameron, Charles and Gordon drag themselves through the AFC East, a division that features two teams rebuilding from the rubble and two teams who are actually pretty good. The Dolphins are ripping the plaster off. The Jets are... the Jets. Geno Smith is their quarterback. Again. Plexico Burress compared playing there to prison, and honestly, fair enough. Meanwhile, the Patriots got A.J. Brown and the Bills got DJ Moore. We discuss all that and more. 

Jamie and Gordon bring you a deep dive into the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Has their offensive line turned the corner? Does the addition of Dexter Lawrence fix their defensive issues? They also briefly discuss outlooks for the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, along with some thoughts about the potential of an NFL game in Scotland after the Tartan Army's exploits in Boston and Miami.

Our esteemed host Paul Mitchell is joined by Ian Steven, Gordon McGuinness, and late addition Charles Paterson to break down two major NFL trades: the Rams acquiring All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett from the Browns for a 2027 first-round pick, Jared Verse, and 2028/2029 picks, and the Eagles trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots while saving $50m a 2028 first-round pick. They discuss divisional impacts, the Rams’ win-now window with Matthew Stafford and backup options, and what Jared Verse and A.J. Brown bring to their new teams. The group also reviews NFL UK & Ireland’s England-themed Nike jersey rollout and the shambolic American Express presale communication, before briefly making Scotland World Cup predictions and trying to guess Paul's middle name.

There's a strange knocking from Jamie's basement as The Stramash podcast crew review the 2026 NFL Draft across the AFC, starting with the Las Vegas Raiders taking QB Fernando Mendoza first overall and debating whether he should sit behind Kirk Cousins, plus discussing the Raiders’ other picks and roster-building timeline.

They move through key hauls and talking points for the Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Texans, Colts. We talk Jaguars consensus board, Titans, Ravens, Bengals and Browns.

Did the Steelers have good draft and what is Gordon's opinions on pencil sharpeners?

We finish with the Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots and drop news of the fixture schedule review podcast.

Just days ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, we turn our attention instead to the International Arena League as the first weekend of the new indoor American Football league landed in Glasgow. Gordon went along and he shares the good, the bad and everything in between. 

We then turn our attention to some of the news items outside the draft including the Bengal's biggest ever trade offering, the 9ers get Trent back and we discuss some of the new unis for 2026. 

Gordon and Jamie are joined by NFL Draft analyst Trevor Sikkema as he mocks our mock! We asked our patreons to step in and make picks for their respective teams and we needed Trevor as a voice of reason to share his thoughts on those picks. There were some good ones, but also some head-scratchers.
