Top Offseason Signings

March 20, 2024 by nflinlondon

If you’re feeling dizzy, that’s because the 2024 NFL season has officially begun, with some stunning moves being made across the league. With many NFL teams crying salary cap broke, others made some big splashes to try to fill in the numerous gaps in their lines. 

There were eye-watering deals like the move the Falcons made to land an ageing Kirk Cousins, or the Bears fire sale of Justin Fields. The 2024 NFL free agency period was full of big names changing teams and massive contracts being handed out. Several franchises made splashy moves to reload their rosters, while others made shrewd value signings.

Let’s take a look at some of the Top Offseason Signings in the NFL. 

Top Signings

Danielle Hunter to Houston

Edge rusher Danielle Hunter scored the biggest payday of the offseason by signing a two-year, $49 million contract with the Houston Texans. At age 29, Hunter was the top pass rusher available and the Texans paid a premium to add him to their defensive line. His deal includes $48 million fully guaranteed. 

After racking up 60.5 sacks over the previous five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Hunter gives the Texans a much-needed boost in their pass rush. He has been one of the most disruptive forces in the league and will make the Texans that much more fierce for 2024. 

Christian Wilkins Cashes in with Raiders

Star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins parlayed his breakout season into a massive payday, signing a four-year, $110 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders that includes $84.75 million guaranteed. It makes the 27-year-old the second highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

Wilkins had 10.5 sacks and 98 total pressures for the Miami Dolphins in 2023 after totaling just 11 sacks over his first four seasons. The Raiders are betting big that his stellar 2023 was no fluke as they add Wilkins to pair with Maxx Crosby on an improving defensive line.

Josh Jacobs Signs Big Extension with Packers

The Green Bay Packers paid a premium to bring in solid running back Josh Jacobs from the Las Vegas Raiders , signing him to a four-year, $48 million contract with $14.8 million coming in the first year. It’s a significant deal for a running back in today’s pass-happy NFL.

Calvin Ridley Tennessee Bound

Wide receiver Calvin Ridley will be taking balls from Will Levis,  signing a lucrative four-year, $92 million deal with the Tennessee Titans that includes $50 million fully guaranteed. It’s a big investment for a player who missed the entire 2022 season while suspended for betting on NFL games.

Ridley, who turns 29 in December, had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2020 and 2021 with the Atlanta Falcons before being hit with the year-long ban. The former first-round pick should immediately become the No. 1 wideout for the Titans and a top target for whichever quarterback is under center, if Billy Jeans isn’t what the Titans are looking for. 

Notable Moves

Defensive Stars Cashing In

  • Edge rusher Danielle Hunter signed a massive 2-year, $49 million deal with the Houston Texans that includes $48 million guaranteed. Hunter joins the Texans after a productive 5-year run with the Vikings.
  • Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins parlayed a standout season into a 4-year, $110 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders that has $84.75 million guaranteed. Wilkins will team up with Maxx Crosby on the Raiders defensive line.  
  • The Miami Dolphins re-signed defensive tackle DaQuan Jones to a 2-year, $16 million deal with $10.5 million fully guaranteed.

Quarterbacks on the Move

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2025 conditional Day 3 pick. It didn’t cost much, and might see Fields challenging Russell Wilson for field time. 
  • Russell Wilson signed a 1-year deal with the Steelers after his release from Denver for $1.2 million a year, in a deal that still costs the Broncos for years. 
  • Gardner Minshew inked a 2-year, $25 million contract with $15 million guaranteed to join the Raiders, and should help moustache sales in Nevada.
  • Sam Howell was the ‘man’ in Washington last year, now he’s off to the Seahawks in a trade for future picks. Hopefully he doesn’t get sacked as much on theist coast. 

Running Backs Secure the Bag

  • Tony Pollard joined the Tennessee Titans on a 3-year, $24 million deal.
  • The Texans acquired Joe Mixon from the Bengals in exchange for a 7th-round pick.
  • Aaron Jones will face his former Packers twice a year after signing with the division rival Vikings in a 1 year, $7 million deal 

Wide Receiver Trades/Signings

  • Jerry Jeudy was traded from the Broncos to the Browns for two Day 3 picks.
  • Keenan Allen was dealt from the Chargers to the Bears for a 4th-round selection. Old man Allen should give Caleb Williams some veteran leadership in Chicago.
  • Darnell Mooney hasn’t broken 1000 yards yet, but the Atlanta Falcons are hoping to take the former Bear to new heights in a 3 year deal with $26 million guaranteed.
  • The Eagles moved more money around to snag DeVante Parker on a 1 year deal. 

Offensive Line Movement

  • Guard Robert Hunt signed a huge 5-year, $100 million deal with the Panthers that includes $26.5 million guaranteed.  
  • Center Lloyd Cushenberry joined the Titans on a 4-year, $50 million contract with $26 million guaranteed.
  • The Patriots re-signed guard Mike Onwenu to a 3-year, $57 million deal with $38 million guaranteed.

Of course that’s not the end of the news for the 2024 NFL season, but that’s what we have for you right now.

London NFL Stadium Guide

March 19, 2024 by nflinlondon

The NFL has been coming to London for over 40 years now, and show no signs of slowing down with the league announcing international games at an increasing level every year.
So which London stadiums have played a part in the NFL, and where can you find them? 

Let’s step into the vibrant tapestry of London’s sporting scene, where the echoes of cheering crowds and the excitement of athletic endeavours converge in majestic stadiums. Join us as we embark on a journey through the iconic venues that define London’s sporting legacy, from the hallowed grounds of football to the thrilling spectacles of NFL action.
It’s our London NFL Stadium Guide!

Wembley Stadium: A Monument to Sporting Greatness

Wembley Stadium stands as a towering symbol of sporting excellence, with a capacity surpassing 90,000 spectators. Since its inception in 1923, this legendary venue has witnessed countless historic football matches, including FA Cup finals and international showdowns. Since 2007, Wembley tops the London list-having hosted a whopping 25 NFL games since then, including some truly magical games.
Wembley is quickly becoming the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, as they continue to make in-roads into the UK and Europe.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Where Innovation Meets Athleticism

Enter the futuristic realm of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a modern marvel that sets new standards for sporting excellence. Since its inauguration in 2019, this state-of-the-art arena has captivated fans with its innovative design and electrifying atmosphere, having hosted 7 NFL regular season games since opening. With a seating capacity exceeding 62,000 and boasting a stadium to ‘keep people in’, it serves as the battleground for Tottenham Hotspur’s footballing dreams.
Tottenham is the only UK stadium that was purpose built for North American sports, and has set a template for other stadiums in Europe to follow. 

Twickenham Stadium: Rugby’s Regal Domain

Nestled amidst the serene surroundings of Twickenham, this majestic stadium reigns supreme as the Mecca of rugby union. Boasting a capacity exceeding 82,000, Twickenham Stadium has played host to some of the sport’s most memorable moments, from epic Six Nations clashes to Rugby World Cup showdowns. Twickenham was also home to London NFL games from 2016-2017, hosting 3 games in southwest London. Known for having food vendors selling food in front of their houses near the stadium, Twickenham served as a placeholder stadium while the Tottenham stadium was being built. 

Saracens Rugby Ground: A Fusion of Sporting Cultures

While not a traditional stadium, Saracens Rugby Ground holds a unique place in London’s sporting tapestry. As the training grounds for NFL teams before their London fixtures, it serves as a hub where rugby and American football intersect. Amidst the lush green fields of rugby majesty, NFL stars prepare for the rigours of game day, showcasing the city’s diverse sporting offerings. Given the proximity to The Grove Hotel where many NFL teams stay, Saracens Rugby Ground will continue to be the place where teams get ready before their London showcase. 

Emirates Stadium: Arsenal’s Fortress of Football

In the bustling borough of Islington stands Emirates Stadium, the proud home of Arsenal Football Club. With a capacity surpassing 60,000, it’s a cathedral of football that has witnessed countless moments of triumph and glory. While Emirates Stadium has yet to host NFL action, its status as a premier footballing venue underscores its significance in London’s sporting landscape.
It would take some serious renovation work to get Emirates stadium ready for an NFL game, it’s a great venue to check out when you’re in London and want to catch a bit of footie. 

In the dynamic metropolis of London, where sporting passions run deep and the spirit of competition thrives, the grandest stadiums stand as monuments to athleticism and communal fervour. From footballing cathedrals to the thrilling allure of NFL action, these iconic venues offer a glimpse into the heart and soul of London’s vibrant sporting scene. So, whether you’re cheering on your favourite football team or marvelling at the athleticism of NFL stars, prepare to be swept away on a journey of sporting splendour unlike any other.

Super Bowl 58 Picks

February 11, 2024 by nflinlondon

It’s finally the last game of the season, the big one, as we bring you our Super Bowl 58 Picks.

The NFL in London team has been making their lists, checking them twice, and then factoring in Mahomes again to make the predictions for Super Bowl Sunday.

If you want to listen to the whole podcast where Ryan and Wade chat it all out, just click here and you’re on your way to a super fun time.

NFLinLondon · Super Bowl Picks-Ep 295

Super Bowl Sunday

Have you made your plans for Super Bowl Sunday yet? If you’re having a party at home, just make sure to tag us with #nflinlondon so we can see what kind of set up you’re running!
Getting some of the fun out of the way….let’s get into the big game.

-2 San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs  +47.5

It’s a repeat of 4 years ago, when we hadn’t heard of Covid yet, but we had heard of Jackson Mahomes, and that was considered much worse.
As we remember from that game, the 49ers were up with only 7 minutes left to go, when some questionable calls, and Mahomes momentum were able to propel the Chiefs to victory.
So can that happen again?
The 49ers could be considered lucky to have made it this far, despite being the number 1 seed.
With marginal victories over the Packers, and Lions, the Niners have had to ‘dig deep’ to rally back, something that was a bit foreign to them.
Let’s also not forget that beating that they took at the hands of the Ravens at the end of the season that had many questioning their ability to put away good times.
Brock Purdy can get flustered, and this much hyped D has been gashed in the past few games by coaches who were able to find all the little holes.
San Fran are 2 point favourites, which also seems a bit of a surprise given the way that the Chiefs have played since December.
Patrick Mahomes has that special touch, whereas Jackson Mahomes, has that no so special touch.
Watching Patrick Mahomes in the postseason brings memories of Tom Brady, a guy who puts it all together when it matters most, to make those miraculous plays.
So how can the 49ers beat Mahomes when he plays like this?
Seriously.
Not only do we know that PM can rally his team with time to spare, but he can also rely on his solid defence to back them up and keep them in the game.
So why has Vegas given the 49ers the 2 points in a game where all signs are pointing to a Chiefs win?

Ryan Takes Chiefs

Despite the Chiefs taking out his Buffalo Bills once again, Ryan is backing the Chiefs to win their second ring in a row. He thinks that it will be a low-scoring, and plodding game, where the Chiefs D is able to choke out Brock Purdy for the win.

Wade Tomahawk Chops

Mmmm…tomahawk chops…the main thing that Wade thinks will be cooking on Sunday will be the Chiefs D, as Spagnoulo will have lots of tricks up his sleeves for Purdy and CM. He thinks that the Chiefs will get an early lead, the Niners will chip, but it should be another W for Kansas City.
Wade also thinks that Kelce will win the MVP after scoring 2 touchdowns.
Ryan-Chiefs 24-49ers 21
Wade-Chiefs 23-49ers 20
That’s it for our Super Bowl 58 picks, hope that you all have a fantastic Super Bowl Sunday!
Be dafe, and have fun!
