Spot The Lie Mike McDaniel didn't have a crazy run game until he had De'Von Achane. Tua Tagovailoa didn't' check the ball down like crazy until he had De'Von Achane. I didn't have sex like crazy until I watched De'Von Achane.

A player must start training camp on PUP to be eligible to be placed on R/PUP during the season (miss weeks 1-4 at a minimum). -Players I expect to start on A/PUP or NFI and move to...
I'm a big-time arguer. So this was one of the most fun articles for me to read of the entire offseason so far. @SideHustleFF did an incredible job sifting through the De'Von Achane, Jonathon Brooks, and Bears pass-catcher debates that could define the 2026 season. Read it!
