The Hoffman Show

Craig welcomes ESPN's Clinton Yates to discuss the top story of the day: Matthew Stafford agreeing to a restructured deal with the Rams, keeping him in Los Angeles and officially removing him from the 2025 QB carousel. What does this mean for the Rams' future and the quarterback market?

Then, they shift to Travis Hunter's bold NFL aspirations, as the Colorado star expressed his desire at the Combine to play both ways in the pros. Should teams embrace Hunter as a two-way player, or will he need to pick a side—cornerback or wide receiver? Craig and Clinton debate where he would make the biggest impact.

Lynnell Willingham, filling in for Craig Hoffman, reacts to Dan Quinn’s comments on the future positions of LT Brandon Coleman and CB Mikey Sainristil. Lynnell argues that Coleman’s position depends on who the Commanders bring in—can they find a true left tackle in free agency or the draft (at pick #29) and slide Coleman inside? He gives Coleman a C+ grade for his rookie season. As for Sainristil, Lynnell questions whether he should stay outside or move back to slot corner. He believes free agency could be the key to addressing the team’s CB needs and gives Mikey a B- for his rookie campaign.

Lynnell Willingham, filling in for Craig Hoffman, welcomes fellow Team 980 colleague Chris Russell to discuss Jon Allen's future with the Commanders. Russell believes Allen has played his last down in Washington and says the only way he returns is with a significant cap-hit reduction. Both agree that if Allen is traded or cut, defensive tackle instantly becomes the biggest positional need for the team in terms of depth and volume.
