Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Atlanta Falcons have one of the more interesting quarterback battles in the NFL with Tua Tagovialoa and Michael Penix as contenders. With Penix on the mend, Tua has taken advantage and been impressive early on. Atlanta certainly has the weapons and with James Pearce seemingly in the clear, this team is good enough to make noise in the south. Their division rival, the Carolina Panthers, won the crown last season, but somehow are never discussed as a real team to watch. Repeating would fix that issue quickly. In the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are defending the title...

Pittsburgh Steelers fans debate which franchise legend could best ignite the current roster—would Troy Polamalu's elite safety play or Hines Ward’s iconic leadership drive 2026 success? Chris Carter and Tony Wiggins break down these hypotheticals, compare T.J. Watt’s trajectory to Myles Garrett, and question if Pittsburgh’s defensive torch is being passed effectively. Can the Steelers’ offensive identity catch up to its defensive legacy?

Elsewhere, hosts assess whether the Philadelphia Eagles might gamble on quarterback Brandon Sorsby in the supplemental draft, raising questions about Jalen Hurts’ future and locker room...

The New Orleans Saints brought back Cam Jordan for a final season and now he feels like the final piece to the turnaround. A solid roster has the Saints as a real contender in the NFC South and they should be set to win more games this year. To do it, they may have to go through their rival, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are dealing with some contract issues, but on paper, especially with the addition of Rueben Bain, they should be considered the favorites in the division, who certainly win more games than last season. Two...

Bo Nix returns to practice with the Broncos and teams look into the risk with taking Brendan Sorsby.

Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow face career-defining seasons—can they finally shake their playoff ghosts or will organizational pitfalls hold them back? AFC and NFC powerhouses watch closely as Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals fans brace for make-or-break years, with top-10 quarterbacks under immense pressure to deliver. The discussion compares Burrow’s Montana-like precision and injury woes with Prescott’s crunch-time struggles, spotlighting how each QB’s fortunes could realign their franchise futures.

Quarterback controversies intensify as the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons search for stability under ce...

The NFL just got one of the most interesting supplemental draft prospects in decades dropped on their proverbial door with quarterback Brendan Sorsby deciding to leave college. Sorsby is an interesting prospect that numerous teams could be interested in, but the Arizona Cardinals or Pittsburgh Steelers should be willing to risk the most. The Kansas City Chiefs have their quarterback under wraps and just gave Patrick Mahomes a new monster contract, but now they might be getting the old band back together with L'Jarius Sneed already signed and Tyreek Hill hinting at a reunion. Neither remove the two biggest...

Locked On is celebrating it's ten year anniversary and that makes it a perfect time to look at a TOP TEN rankings in the NFL! The Los Angeles Rams are clearly the top team, but Alaric Jackson's situation could ruin that status. The Seattle Seahawks still see themselves as the top team even if we don't. In Denver, the Broncos have built a great roster and should get more respect in these rankings than they seem to elsewhere. The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are in similar boats as teams with high expectations and dangerous situations. Teams at the...

Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts face high-stakes questions as the NFL’s top quarterbacks chase Patrick Mahomes and the promise of a standout 2026 season. Who can finally dethrone the Chiefs’ superstar, and which signal-caller will break through lingering doubts about their greatness?

The San Francisco 49ers need to release Brandon Aiyuk and end the drama surrounding the situation if they hope to end their championship drought the way the New York Knicks did this weekend. Continuing to hold Aiyuk out of spite is not a smart business decision, even if he immediately goes to the Washington Commanders. The Commanders could use another target though and would welcome Aiyuk as they try to win their first trophy since the 1990's. The Chicago Bears are trying to end their drought, but to do it this season, Caleb Williams will need to break the "...

George Pickens shines bright for the Dallas Cowboys, drawing comparisons to Randy Moss and fueling debate on whether he or CeeDee Lamb deserves top receiver status. Tony Wiggins, Matt Williamson, and Marcus Mosher break down Pickens’ maturity, practice habits, and the looming contract decisions that could shape the Cowboys’ future. Is Pickens’ breakout for real, or will inconsistent performances hold him back?

Elsewhere, the Green Bay Packers bet big on Christian Watson despite durability concerns, while Ben Johnson’s Chicago Bears offense evolves around Caleb Williams’ dual-threat talent. The episode ex...

The Kansas City Chiefs got a massive new deal done with Patrick Mahomes this week, but new money doesn't mean new wins and things are looking like the Chiefs current iteration will never win a title again. We may see an extension for Lamar Jackson soon as the Baltimore Ravens try to get ahead of his free agency, but Jackson should not sign early and see how his new coaching staff handles things. From elite to unproven, Shedeur Sanders is trying to grab back the starting quarterback job for the Cleveland Browns and this week and mandatory mini-camp he...

Kansas City Chiefs lock in Patrick Mahomes with a record-shattering $500M extension, redefining the NFL quarterback market.

The Dallas Cowboys haven't seen the top of the NFL in quite some time and if they are going to get back this year, they need a lot to go right. That doesn't include Dak Prescott dealing with some sort of off-field drama and that is not what Cowboys fans want to hear. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have to deal with Baker Mayfield's contract situation and it has a chance to sink their season before it starts.

AFC East and NFC East power dynamics shift as A.J. Brown's departure from the Philadelphia Eagles sparks controversy and opportunity. Can Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills finally transform regular season brilliance into postseason glory, or are the New England Patriots primed to reclaim dominance with strategic roster upgrades and a hungry, coordinated offense?

The Los Angeles Rams are significant Super Bowl favorites and have a great chance to win it all, but the offensive line could derail them, especially with the new legal issues their starting left tackle, Alaric Jackson, is facing. If Matthew Stafford were to be affected in any way, it would severely hinder the Rams chances. Coaching is the biggest concern with a lot of Super Bowl hopefuls, like the Seattle Seahawks, who have to replace Klint Kubiak at offensive coordinator. Similarly, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens will also be dependent on their new coaching setups, in an...

Atlanta Falcons face quarterback deja vu as Kevin Stefanski brings his controversial “competition” approach from the Cleveland Browns to the NFC South. With Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. vying for the starting job, uncertainty looms—can Stefanski’s tactics avoid the messaging chaos that led to his Cleveland downfall? Meanwhile, every other NFC South team seems far more certain at QB, with the New Orleans Saints buzzing about Tyler Shough’s potential to lead a playoff charge.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been competitive since the moment Baker Mayfield came on board, but now they are in the midst of a contract battle that has both parties considering setting sail for better tides. This would be a mistake on the Bucs part as Mayfield would certainly have takers and has capitalized in this situation before. Jalen Hurts won a Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles, but with AJ Brown now gone, the excuses leave too. Hurts needs to look himself in the mirror now for the Eagles to take a step forward.

Philadelphia Eagles face a seismic shift as A.J. Brown departs and Devonta Smith steps into the WR1 spotlight. Jalen Hurts’ leadership is under scrutiny, with lingering questions over locker-room dynamics and his ability to adapt to an evolving offense focused on attacking the middle of the field. The departure of legendary OL coach Jeff Stoutland and key staff changes spark debate on whether the Eagles’ powerhouse identity can persist. Can Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens, and Landon Dickerson maintain the line’s elite standard?

The Green Bay Packers went all in for Micah Parsons just a year ago, but now he is set to miss the start of the season due to an ACL injury suffered last year. In that time, the Packers must survive with what they have as reinforcements are not coming. That means everyone will have to do more and that includes Jordan Love.

The Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns are two teams at opposite sides of the NFL standings and the Myles Garrett trade will only solidify their spots. But what is more likely to happen -- a Rams' championship or the Browns getting the top pick? It is easier to be the worst team of bad teams rather than the best team of good ones.
